:00:58. > :01:03.British farmers are at a crossroads. More and more are going out of

:01:03. > :01:05.business as we turn to cheap imports for our meat. One solution

:01:05. > :01:08.is to create bigger, more industrialised farms. But an

:01:08. > :01:11.application to build a megafarm in Derbyshire with more than 25,000

:01:11. > :01:19.pigs has outraged not just the people who would live next door to

:01:19. > :01:23.it but animal rights campaigners and a host of celebrities. We

:01:23. > :01:28.believe what we're doing is high welfare. We are looking after our

:01:28. > :01:31.pigs to the best possible standard that we can. It simply is not right

:01:31. > :01:41.for a pig to live its whole life without ever feeling the sun on its

:01:41. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:51.back. Without ever having the chance to root around in the ground.

:01:51. > :01:53.Two pig farmers, two opposing views. Martin Barker is planning a second

:01:53. > :01:57.agricultural revolution in which thousands of animals are kept

:01:57. > :02:01.indoors making bigger profits and providing cheaper meat. GRUNTING.

:02:01. > :02:07.Peter Melchett runs an organic farm. He's appalled by this brave new

:02:07. > :02:12.farming world. There's a big difference though to having pigs on

:02:12. > :02:17.a foot or two of straw over a big area. Yes but at the same time

:02:17. > :02:20.there is a big cost to that. Plans by Midland Pig Producers to have

:02:20. > :02:24.more than 25,000 pigs at Foston in Derbyshire has led to a series of

:02:24. > :02:34.angry demonstrations. Several well- known faces have added their voices

:02:34. > :02:34.

:02:34. > :02:37.to the protest against the growth of intensive farming. I think it is

:02:37. > :02:47.barbaric actually and really we ought to be creating a more humane

:02:47. > :02:51.farming and more sustainable Does the world really need more

:02:51. > :02:57.cheap meat? Do we in the UK want to be producing huge volumes of

:02:57. > :03:05.cheaper meat? Is that the right direction of travel? Everything

:03:05. > :03:09.that is happening to our health would suggest otherwise. A room

:03:09. > :03:13.with a view at Foston in Derbyshire. A view Sue Weston fears will be

:03:13. > :03:19.blighted if the application for a pig farm in the field opposite is

:03:20. > :03:24.approved. People say are you being a nimby but this is not literally

:03:24. > :03:34.in my backyard, it is in my living room. 30,000 pigs sat on my sofa,

:03:34. > :03:36.

:03:36. > :03:38.Sue's son Tom suffers from a weak heart rate. He's worried that

:03:38. > :03:45.thousands of pigs will bring additional hazards to his already

:03:45. > :03:49.frail health. I've only just come out of hospital. I'm really not

:03:49. > :03:55.wanting to pick up any diseases that they might carry. I am really

:03:55. > :03:58.susceptible, anything could be fatal if it goes to my heart.

:03:58. > :04:07.you categorically guaranteed to the people living in Foston next to

:04:07. > :04:10.this farm there will be no spread of disease? Not any more than they

:04:10. > :04:14.can guarantee that they will not give our pigs any disease

:04:14. > :04:19.themselves. It is an odourless system where all the air that goes

:04:19. > :04:22.out of the building is treated. There will be far less problems out

:04:22. > :04:27.there and less smell than there is from the current unit that is

:04:27. > :04:30.already in the village. There are very large pig farms and large

:04:30. > :04:33.daries as well. They are new developments and the diseases

:04:33. > :04:36.associated with them and the risk of those diseases spreading to

:04:36. > :04:39.people are new risks so of course we cannot be absolutely certain

:04:39. > :04:49.that the people will definitely get set but I am absolutely sure that

:04:49. > :04:50.

:04:51. > :04:53.Martin cannot be certain they won't. -- sick. Alan McNally, a biochemist

:04:53. > :04:55.at Nottingham Trent University, believes the planned pig farm poses

:04:56. > :05:04.few risks to local residents deaths safeguards are stringently observed

:05:04. > :05:08.but he still would not want to live next door to it. I am a father, I

:05:08. > :05:11.have a two-year-old son, everyone would like to live next to a farm

:05:11. > :05:17.but I don't think anyone would want to live next to a farm that is

:05:17. > :05:20.processing natural waste products from tens of thousands of animals.

:05:20. > :05:30.He spends the day much as he spends every day, attending his farm, he

:05:30. > :05:32.

:05:32. > :05:42.has pigs, cattle and turkeys. The way we used to farm. It's still a

:05:42. > :05:50.

:05:50. > :05:53.Rob Mercer runs a farm with about half the number of pigs of the

:05:53. > :05:58.planned Foston development but his animals are outdoors and there were

:05:58. > :06:05.few objections. He isn't against indoor farming and sees room for

:06:05. > :06:09.both. I firmly believe that this is the way I want to farm and I like

:06:09. > :06:14.to see pigs this way. You can see they are on lots of acres, they are

:06:14. > :06:16.running around, the sow and piglets are running around. They can get

:06:16. > :06:26.fresh air, they can interact socially and exhibit their normal

:06:26. > :06:30.

:06:30. > :06:35.For Martin Barker, where there's muck there's brass. The waste from

:06:35. > :06:38.his pigs will provide an estimated �1 million worth of energy a year.

:06:38. > :06:47.He likens the new farm to a modern luxury hotel for pigs, comfortable,

:06:47. > :06:54.spacious, green and clean. This system will not produce a smell. If

:06:54. > :06:58.it does then we will be shut down. Foston has a women's prison and

:06:58. > :07:03.people in the village say the farm will be like a second jail with

:07:04. > :07:07.pigs trapped on a slow conveyor belt to the abattoir. I have lived

:07:07. > :07:13.in the countryside all my life and I have no problem with farming but

:07:13. > :07:17.I do not see this as farming at all, this is industrial. It is just an

:07:17. > :07:20.industrial production of meat. I think somebody in relation to this

:07:20. > :07:23.application said in years to come there will not be any animals

:07:23. > :07:28.outside, they are trying to get them all indoors, this is the thin

:07:28. > :07:31.end of the wedge. A year ago, Nocton Dairies withdrew a plan to

:07:31. > :07:35.build a mega farm in Lincolnshire after months of protests and

:07:35. > :07:38.demonstrations. Farms on that scale are commonplace in the United

:07:38. > :07:47.States. Industrial animal farms there are usually much bigger than

:07:47. > :07:50.anything planned hear. -- here. This woman farms near Foston and

:07:50. > :08:00.says they do farms whatever their size are alien to British farming

:08:00. > :08:02.

:08:02. > :08:05.heritage. -- mega farms. Let's keep the small of farms who breed their

:08:05. > :08:08.pigs naturally. The pigs are allowed to root and have their

:08:08. > :08:11.piglets with them. When you see them going out in spring to grass

:08:11. > :08:14.they just adore it. They frolic. They prefer to be outside.

:08:14. > :08:17.large-scale European farms sows are usually kept in such a narrow space

:08:17. > :08:19.they cannot even turn around. The Forston Farm. Would have doubled

:08:19. > :08:29.the space and welfare would far exceed current regulations. Midland

:08:29. > :08:40.

:08:40. > :08:43.pig producers say they will provide Most people now get their meat from

:08:43. > :08:46.supermarkets but rarely question where it comes from or how it's

:08:46. > :08:50.produced. The British Pig Executive says consumers need to be aware of

:08:50. > :08:53.what they're buying. Research we did a couple of years ago actually

:08:53. > :08:56.suggested that two-thirds of all the pork we actually import into

:08:56. > :09:02.this country, that is the majority of the pork we eat in this country,

:09:02. > :09:07.would be illegal to produce here. Why would it be illegal? Mainly

:09:07. > :09:10.because of the way the sows are kept. In this country we keep them

:09:10. > :09:16.in large social groups, abroad they are in stalls for virtually their

:09:16. > :09:19.whole life. A british farmer would get jail for producing what's on

:09:19. > :09:29.the supermarket shelves. The foreign products coming in is

:09:29. > :09:30.

:09:30. > :09:34.probably kept in standing systems, The government says we have a

:09:34. > :09:36.choice. Farming minister Jim Paice has argued we can maintain what he

:09:36. > :09:46.calls sentimental farming or set the industry on fire by producing

:09:46. > :09:57.

:09:57. > :09:59.more meat at affordable prices. Earlier this month there was

:10:00. > :10:03.another demonstration in Derby against the Foston application. The

:10:03. > :10:13.battle to decide what we eat and how we produce it has only just

:10:13. > :10:16.

:10:16. > :10:20.And a decision on that pig farm is expected in the next two months.

:10:20. > :10:24.Now one in four women and one in seven men have endured some form of

:10:24. > :10:29.sexual abuse as a child. Many can't face the ordeal of taking their

:10:29. > :10:35.abuser to court. Bravely, Dawn Berry did just that. Tonight, she's

:10:35. > :10:38.waived her right to anonymity to talk to Jo Healey. Dawn's journey

:10:38. > :10:48.is disturbing but inspirational. Her motivation? To give others,

:10:48. > :10:53.

:10:53. > :10:56.like her, a voice. It is all those childhoods that were stolen. It was

:10:57. > :11:03.innocents who were stolen. We should have been playing, jumping

:11:03. > :11:07.in puddles. We should not have been worrying about, or my God, I'm

:11:07. > :11:15.supposed to go to sleep now, myelitis off but what is going to

:11:15. > :11:22.happen next in the dark? -- my light is off. We should not have

:11:22. > :11:29.had the monster in the bedroom. She is packing for a holiday. It is for

:11:29. > :11:33.an anniversary. Not for her wedding or a birthday, it is of at trial

:11:33. > :11:38.and crucially its verdict. 12 junior members came back and said

:11:38. > :11:48.we believe you. It was something that I never ever thought I would

:11:48. > :11:55.

:11:56. > :12:01.hear in the whole of my life. -- Jury members. Her young life was

:12:01. > :12:06.scarred by terrible abuse at the hands of her stepfather at her home.

:12:06. > :12:11.She was repeatedly raped. Even though why was a child it was

:12:11. > :12:18.completely wrong and there is no way you could persuade me otherwise.

:12:18. > :12:25.There would be certain orders. Pipe tobacco, beer, that would just in

:12:25. > :12:33.green fear in week whether he was present or not. -- in the main fear

:12:33. > :12:43.in me. That fear can be just as intense today just as it was in

:12:43. > :12:46.

:12:46. > :12:50.1976, 77 and so on. -- ingrain fear. She was an only child and she

:12:50. > :12:54.thought he was his only victim but then just a few years ago or

:12:54. > :12:59.another victim contacted her. Because of that, she forced herself

:12:59. > :13:05.to walk with her has been through the doors of this police station.

:13:05. > :13:09.But would anyone believe her? When you have been abused on this level

:13:09. > :13:14.you are conditioned by the predator that you will not be believed, no

:13:14. > :13:21.one will listen to you, you will be classed as dirty, disgusting and

:13:21. > :13:26.all sorts of different things. Being believed becomes something

:13:26. > :13:32.that you think will never be in your possession. But the officer

:13:32. > :13:42.she met did believe her. Here she is meeting him again for the first

:13:42. > :13:44.

:13:44. > :13:51.time since that night. A law. my hero. Welcome back. Seven of us

:13:51. > :13:56.went to trial in the end. The way you handle that, you were to meet

:13:56. > :14:04.our pivotal in that it happened. Thank you, would you like to come

:14:04. > :14:14.in? I would, thank you. For the very first time in my whole life I

:14:14. > :14:16.

:14:16. > :14:25.felt two major things, hair and believed. Brilliant. -- heard and

:14:25. > :14:32.believed. It is brilliant I have had such an effect. You really did

:14:32. > :14:37.have. It is brilliant that justice has been done. But the journey to

:14:37. > :14:42.justice was painstaking. There were hours of video, interview and

:14:42. > :14:48.written evidence. The officers worked tirelessly to try and build

:14:48. > :14:52.the prosecution case. To ensure that the man is convicted at court

:14:52. > :14:57.because you have got a victim at the end of it too has had the

:14:57. > :15:03.courage and conviction to come forward and say 37 years ago I was

:15:03. > :15:09.abused and I have never told anyone else. The judge praised the victims

:15:09. > :15:13.for having the courage to come forward. In sentencing him to 18

:15:13. > :15:20.years in prison he told the man he was despicable and disgusting

:15:20. > :15:30.without a jot of remorse. Since the case last year four more people

:15:30. > :15:30.

:15:31. > :15:36.have come forward seeing the two Did the court case make a

:15:36. > :15:40.difference? A tremendous difference. It gave an opportunity for closure

:15:40. > :15:44.but also it gives a message out to predators that whilst you may

:15:44. > :15:49.interfere with children and keep them silent, one way -- one day we

:15:49. > :15:55.grow up and find our voice. And it seems there are many voices out

:15:55. > :16:03.there. One in four women and one in seven men have suffered some sexual

:16:03. > :16:07.abuse as children. Three months after Keith Brown was sentenced,

:16:07. > :16:12.another paedophile was in court in at Nottingham. Patrick Gallagher.

:16:12. > :16:18.He had been a foster carer in Mansfield. He fostered young boys.

:16:18. > :16:24.He also raped some of them. Bravely, they worked with the police to

:16:25. > :16:30.bring him to court. Last May, he admitted 55 charges against 16

:16:30. > :16:34.children, including rape and sexual assault. It is currently Iffy

:16:34. > :16:39.subject of a serious case review. The findings will be out later this

:16:39. > :16:46.year. They insist lessons will be learnt. But the judge said the

:16:46. > :16:52.damage he had done to his victims was incalculable. I was in court

:16:52. > :16:57.and listened to statements from two of the poor use. One of them said,

:16:57. > :17:01.I was just a little boy. I felt disgusting, like a tramp. I felt

:17:01. > :17:11.dirty. He said he was completely destroyed by what had happened to

:17:11. > :17:11.

:17:11. > :17:15.him and could not get his face out of his head. Another boy said he

:17:15. > :17:23.was at his most vulnerable. What I needed was a loving family. I've

:17:23. > :17:31.never felt so frightened, he said. I felt like dying. My innocence was

:17:31. > :17:35.stolen. My first anger is that the authorities and for the people who

:17:35. > :17:39.were around two may have seen something and chose not to act

:17:39. > :17:48.because of the difficulties it might have cause for themselves. My

:17:48. > :17:56.second reaction is to want to go and cuddle every single one of them

:17:57. > :18:03.and allow them, and give them permission, to grieve and more

:18:03. > :18:11.importantly to find a way to reinstate a sense of childhood and

:18:11. > :18:15.innocence. Dawn is still finding her way. Each week, she gets

:18:15. > :18:19.counselling from the incest and sexual abuse survivors charity. She

:18:19. > :18:23.is one of around 300 people referred here each year in

:18:23. > :18:30.Nottinghamshire alone. A service they say it is under-resourced and

:18:30. > :18:35.under threat. We have many suicidal clients who come to us and who have

:18:35. > :18:42.nowhere else to turn. If we didn't exist, then unfortunately I think

:18:42. > :18:46.the suicide rate would increase in Nottinghamshire substantially.

:18:46. > :18:51.dawn admits they have been times she has come close to ending it all.

:18:51. > :18:58.But she is now determined to help other victims and regain something

:18:58. > :19:04.of the child had she was denied. -- childhood. At this moment in time,

:19:04. > :19:09.I'm doing my best to jump in puddles because there is a part of

:19:09. > :19:16.my childhood that I lost, that I was not allowed to play. So, if you

:19:16. > :19:23.see me at their jumping in puddles, all I can say is, come and play! We

:19:23. > :19:28.all need to jump in a few puddles. If you have been affected by any of

:19:28. > :19:38.the issues raised in our film, you can find details of help on that

:19:38. > :19:41.

:19:41. > :19:46.Amateur boxing has been in decline for years. The number of registered

:19:46. > :19:50.boxers has hit an all-time low. But one group is fighting back, women.

:19:50. > :20:00.They helped dramatically by the historic change to a rather special

:20:00. > :20:04.

:20:04. > :20:09.For years they've been discriminated against. Pushed out

:20:09. > :20:13.of the limelight, banned from the ring. But the more you keep someone

:20:13. > :20:23.down, the more determined they are to succeed. And this year it's paid

:20:23. > :20:26.

:20:26. > :20:36.Women's boxing has at last been recognised as an Olympic sport.

:20:36. > :20:37.

:20:37. > :20:41.It's the first time in the history of the games. They're so hungry to

:20:41. > :20:45.get in there but when they do get in there you know it's fight of the

:20:45. > :20:54.night. They've realised that these girls can actually fight. It's

:20:54. > :20:59.irrelevant if they're women here now. They're given the chance.

:20:59. > :21:02.They need to work so hard to get there. But will the Olympics change

:21:02. > :21:06.anything? Will women now be considered equal to men in the

:21:06. > :21:11.boxing big time? Amateur boxing's experienced a dramatic decline in

:21:11. > :21:16.numbers over the years. But in gyms around the country women are

:21:16. > :21:20.bucking the trend. In the last seven years the number of

:21:20. > :21:29.registered female boxers has risen dramatically. There used to be 70,

:21:30. > :21:35.now there are more than 1,000. One of those boxers is Talia Anthony or

:21:35. > :21:42.Tilly as she's known to her friends. Before I get in the ring, you

:21:42. > :21:50.cannot explain it, it's a weird feeling. Once the bell goes,

:21:50. > :21:58.everything clears from your mind. She had been sparring with her

:21:58. > :22:07.brothers and they gave her the first step on the ladder. From

:22:07. > :22:10.there, she progressed. Another girl breaking the mould is Sandy Ryan.

:22:10. > :22:15.There are a lot of girls who want to do it more now. But better

:22:15. > :22:22.because there are more fights for the! -- that is better because

:22:22. > :22:27.there are more fights for me. is a very driven individual. She

:22:27. > :22:34.will train and train. Sometimes I have to tell her to stop training.

:22:34. > :22:44.Usually, it is hard getting them in at the gym. It's like butterflies

:22:44. > :22:54.in your stomach when you get into the ring. This is Chadd Amateur

:22:54. > :22:55.

:22:55. > :23:03.Boxing Club at Chaddesden in Derby. She shares the space with a group

:23:03. > :23:07.who've got their eyes on a rather different prize. They could have a

:23:07. > :23:13.future British Olympian on their hands. In five years time I'll

:23:13. > :23:21.hopefully be in Rio in 2016. That'll be my ultimate goal, it'll

:23:21. > :23:25.be a brilliant experience to be in the team for that. These girls are

:23:26. > :23:32.both working towards the same goal. This is their dream, this is Great

:23:32. > :23:38.Britain's boxing squad. First, they have got to earn their stripes. You

:23:38. > :23:42.have been a boxer, a British and Commonwealth champion. High d you

:23:42. > :23:51.rate the women? You've got to go to a women's tournament and then you

:23:51. > :23:54.will understand that there is some tremendous talent. One of those is

:23:54. > :23:58.Nicola Adams who's ranked second in the world for her weight. Number

:23:58. > :24:02.two in the world Nicola, what does it take to get there? A lot of hard

:24:02. > :24:07.work and dedication. What would you say to young girls coming up who

:24:07. > :24:17.really want to be you? The eye trained three times a day, four

:24:17. > :24:25.

:24:25. > :24:28.days a week in Sheffield. -- I It's the finals of the Amateur

:24:28. > :24:30.Boxing Association championships held at Mansfield. Close to 100

:24:30. > :24:35.girls and women are competing. Tilly Anthony's one of them. But

:24:35. > :24:41.her opponent's Nina Smith. She's in the GB boxing squad. Scouts for

:24:41. > :24:45.Team England are also here. They'll be watching her every move. It's

:24:45. > :24:55.Tilly's chance to impress. If she can out-box her, she stands a

:26:10. > :26:14.medal winners. They went on to earn millions from boxing. But what

:26:34. > :26:39.Tough, very tough. When I first started, I was training hard. I

:26:39. > :26:43.could out-box the blokes in the gym. I had all the technical skills. I

:26:43. > :26:47.couldn't get on the shows because I wasn't selling the tickets like the

:26:47. > :26:50.boys were. A lack of British boxers forced Juliette to move to Germany

:26:51. > :26:52.to fight. And after six years she came back to the UK and won the

:26:53. > :26:59.first ever British Masters Superflyweight title. She hasn't

:27:57. > :28:00.It's like a weird feeling. It's just an adrenalin boost. I want to
