Tonight, anger and outrage as plans to build a road tunnel near

Stonehenge. I can see a worse place. All these barrows on the ridges

looking into that of Valley, paying homage to a road. Also in the

programme, what happens next? We hear from you after our

investigation into Amazon delivery drivers. If it happens again,

someone might be seriously hurt and I cant believe that we are the only

people that had been involved in an accident of this nature. And how far

would you go to live off the land? A friend of Maine asked, does it not

make you feel guilty to care for animals and then kill them?

Stonehenge is one of our most iconic sites but he rode past it is one of

the busiest. Now there is a controversial plan to dig a road

tunnel near the stones. Wonder Wiltshire farmer fears that the new

development will destroy the ancient landscape. Tonight she speaks out

for the first time. Stonehenge as one of top tourist

attractions, the Journal and the crown of the UNESCO world Heritage

site in Wiltshire. But our experience of it is somewhat

hampered. That annoys as the A303, the main route from Cornwall to

London, often grinding to a standstill unable to cope with

demand. There are 24,000 vehicles a day on this road and up to 30,000 a

day in the summer, not good for road users are local residents of the

setting of this world Heritage site. No a ?1.4 billion scheme to read

what he would through a tunnel and make a dual carriageway has been

given the go-ahead. You would think that was the perfect solution,

right? It is a total catastrophe. The plans recommended by highways

England and the Government for an eight metre high flyover, about 300

metres from where we are standing. It is a modern scar on an ancient

landscape. It breaks my heart. So why are they so against the scheme?

I have come to watch a museum in Devizes, where there is something

really amazing that will help me to understand the opposition to it.

These artefacts are more than 4000 years old. This dagger is

astounding. It is difficult to see astounding. It is difficult to see

but the original had 140,000 tiny gold studs. Each of them as thin as

a human hair. They were found buried with a bronze Age chieftain in a

grave and known as a barrel -- barrow, have a male south of

Stonehenge. He has become known as Bush Barrow man. The west end of the

tunnel as plans to pass close to his grave. These images give us an idea

of what is proposed but what does it look like an relief? -- and real

life? This is Rachel, and Bush life? This is Rachel, and Bush

Barrow was on her farm. It is one of many barrows she looks after. We

could grass on a proportion of the far end of the farm because they

were significant archaeology under the ground to protect it. Bush

Barrow isn't a burial symmetry amongst 40 others here. This is it,

Bush Barrow. Yes this is Bush Barrow, the key monument in this

symmetry. Underneath here is still Bush Barrow man? Yes, they left him

in there and to all the pots and gold and all the exciting bits and

pieces so yes it is quite exciting to think that Bush Barrow man is

still under our feet. Where is the road going to go? Stonehenge is over

there, it will come in a tunnel south of Stonehenge, so the tunnel

underneath will come out in the field we see opposite is pretty

scars are on the field. How big a road are we talking about? Massive,

for carriageways. How do you feel? Very upset. How can and this

fantastic landscape when I have put so much work into recreating the

interplay with the monuments and then it is OK to go and put a road

right through the landscape. People are going to say that you just don't

want this on your land. I know a lot of people say that but I just think

it is so important that enough consideration is given as to

sensitively putting this road and the environment. It has to be

sensitive. Not in front of Bush Barrow man. The high-value of gold

found in this Barrow make Britain's richest Stone Age burial and

archaeologists have linked the man in Sage two Stonehenge. But there is

another place close to the east end of the tunnel that expects our body

will also be damaged by the plan. The road she will be raised up onto

a flyover to go over an existing roundabout. Until recently this area

of woodland to males from Stonehenge had largely been ignored by

archaeologists. Its true significance is only now being

revealed. As far as Stonehenge goes, how important is this? It couldn't

be more important. We have discovered with the communities who

are living here but the first monuments at Stonehenge on the

Stonehenge known. We know they are living here around 3000 BC and these

committees come back and again and again, all the way through to 4000

BC. This site is thought to be Britain's longest continuously

habited place in the UK. David E team of archaeologists fear in 2014.

We are getting an enormous array of artefacts. They sound around 32

pieces volley 32,000 pieces of flint and more than 1000 pieces of animal

bone. The secret of this place is in the water. It is warmed by a natural

spring meaning it didn't freeze during the ice age and that brought

people to settle here. This is it, this is where we have been digging

over the last ten years, the basin behind us has shed loads of this

hunter gatherer archaeology. What percentage of this have you actually

excavated? A tiny percentage and we have dug in total 23 square metres

of which is about half the size of a football pitch. Everywhere we dig

your, we are finding really important archaeology, almost

certainly a much bigger complex. David is worried the plan involves

raising the road level in nearly and the construction work needed to do

this could damage the site. There will be a flyover about 300 metres

from where we are standing which will be eight metres high and if

that wasn't bad enough, the road here is going to be backed up

another seven metres. All of that logistical work will drain in the

spring full and stick to the water table which is preserving all of

these objects which are thousands of years old. The road is going to go

somewhere. It has got to go somewhere about why here? This is

one of the most precious landscapes in the world. This is such a magical

place, it could even be the cradle of Stonehenge itself. So what does

the man in charge of the road scheme have to say about David's and

Rachel's fears? My team have fitted the site with David to listen to

what he is saying, and we have to consider very carefully and the

development of the solution as that eastern end. Across the road we have

Bush Barrow, the owner of which says having the tunnel will impact on the

world Heritage site. We are going to have to work very carefully to sort

out the setting and the placement of that western portal, as have met

Rachel Hosier and we are listening to what she is saying and all the

other 9000 bits of correspondence we have had to consultation. Would you

change your plans if it doesn't work? We are still an consultation,

analysing those consultations and taking a view on the best way

forward. Earlier this month more than 20 eminent archaeologists and

historians registered their objections to the scheme. The echoed

those of ritual and the professor but they are also concerned that the

tunnel entrance near to Bush Barrow will destroy the views of the winter

sunset which is no thought to be fundamental to the stones

positioning. The final plan for the proposed tunnel is expected in the

autumn, only then we will know if concerns have been taken on board.

Building work is scheduled to start in 2020. Later tonight, from kids to

carry, the allotment holders are growing their own goats.

Dangerous levels of pressure, a legally long hours and pay that is

well below the minimum wage. That is what our investigation uncovered

about conditions for some agency drivers delivering parcels for

Amazon. But the story didn't end there. Six months ago inside out

west went undercover at the Amazon Depot and even with. We gathered

disturbing evidence that some delivery drivers were being

exploited. No one deserves that. They are there to work. We found

some agency drivers were put under so much pressure that they posed a

danger to themselves and roads. We don't have time, so we have to be

fast all the time. Our undercover reporter spent seven days delivering

Amazon parcels for an agency cold AHC services. Drivers had to do

other opt to 200 packages per day. He wrote programmed by Amazon is

very difficult to achieve because of things like traffic and customers

are being out and it was impossible to do the route any time they think

you should be able to do it. One of the drivers told me he drove at 120

mph down the motorway. To complete the rate set by Amazon on all the

days she worked, a reporter spent days she worked, a reporter spent

more than 11 hours on duty, against the law for delivery drivers. They

don't factor in any rest breaks are polar bricks, one driver had to told

me he had to go for a to in the back of his van because she was so

desperate. That is the amount of pressure.

We spoke to a supervisor for the company. We had one guy, who had not

one single day off in three months solid. You know, seven days a week

for three months, driving. That's dangerous. Yes. AHC services told us

at the time, and Amazon said... After the programme we were

inundated with messages from all over the country, from people

had worked as Amazon drivers for had worked as Amazon drivers for

different agencies. This one says it was the worst job they had ever

done. "I Was always running late because there were too many stops

and I had to break traffic rules. That I'm not proud of. ". And this

one "The only to pick up time is to one "The only to pick up time is to

break the speed limit. "Last Year on the 1st of December

and Amazon Logistics driver smashed into myself and my husband on a

crossroads near while Wootton Bassett. He wrote of our car but we

weren't badly injured. A year on, I am still badly injured. " And this

is where the accident happened. I is where the accident happened. I

saw a white van coming up to the junction, didn't think anything of

it because I thought he is going to stop. Next thing, there was a loud

bang. The car just exploded on the side. I had a bit of blood coming

from my mouth, but I found I had bitten through my time. But the car

saved our lives the police offered to send the driver on a course

rather than prosecute himself -- him. We don't know what agency he

worked for, or whether his job cause the crash. So was this just bad

luck? It wasn't, there are a lot of delivery companies out there, they

all need to look at what they are doing. The fact that it was relating

back to your programme, and the fact these drivers were working very long

hours. We just felt it would be useful for us to come forward. I

wanted people to know that there are consequences. If it happens again,

and I can't believe we are the and I can't believe we are the

ordinary -- only people who have been involved in an accident of this

nature. The accident, and our programme, have led them to do a lot

less online shopping. It is too convenient to click a button and

wait for the door bell to ring. When we do have deliveries, I say to

them, take care. A lot of people responding on Facebook and Twitter

said it had changed their minds about using Amazon. This viewer

said" I request that my account is closed immediately. I saw the

treatment of your delivery drivers. treatment of your delivery drivers.

Therefore I am taking my business elsewhere. I met up again with Cody.

What was it like? Overwhelming. The contact that I had from the drivers

was amazing to be honest. The words that they were saying to me, they

just kept thanking me for standing up for them more than anything. It

honest. The company came in for a honest. The company came in for a

lot of damning comments. What is their relationship with Amazon at

the moment? Still the same, I believe. They are still contractors,

still running there. How does that make you feel? I feel I have been

ignored and shrugged off. I want to see things better for the drivers.

Because as I said, I've taken a phone call from a driver to say he

has fallen asleep this at -- at the wheel. He could have hit somebody,

and if the hours are not improve, it means the drivers are still tired.

AHC also said this. I met the MP Iain Wright in

Westminster. I welcome what your programme has put forward here. I

have no doubt that the Select Committee and I would like to say to

Amazon, what is going on here, and what are you going to do to make

sure that workers' terms and conditions are actively enforce? We

have been told that Amazon is one of a number of companies the committee

expects to invite in April or May to give evidence. Amazon says last year

it contacted its delivery providers to underscore their obligations to

safety, fair compensation and treatment of drivers. It seems from

the overwhelming response to the programme that it highlighted a

widespread programme -- problem, that some agency drivers are being

exploited, and they pose a real danger to themselves and on our

roads. A problem that is far from being fixed.

When you are tucking into your roast dinner, do you wonder what that

animal went through to make it onto your plate? Well, a group of friends

from Bristol have taken matters into their own hands, and decided to live

off the land. There is plenty of wasteland in Bristol. Goats are

perfect for clearing it. They provide delicious fresh milk, and

people get to understand where their food comes from. Sounds cute, think

again. All of these four boys are going to end up being eaten. We have

spent the first year with a group of radical urban goat farmers, as they

get to grip with raising and killing their own animals. -- we have

sourced a family abattoir, we hope it is the best that it can be. I

will miss them, especially the one with a spot on his nose. April 2016,

overcome their first challenge, overcome their first challenge,

finding some land. They have rented ten overgrown allotments in St

George. But there is a reason these plots are not on a waiting list.

This was essentially just an enormous pile of rubbish, it's hard

to even explain how much work we've put in just to get it to this state.

Over the next few months the team will fill for skips with more to

come. A lot of work for volunteers. So what is driving them? A lot of

people have come in because they want to be smallholders. They would

love to live their dream of going out to the countryside and getting a

little piece of land, and it turns out that is impossible and land the

rubbish may not be ideal, but the brambles are. We were given this

part of the site because it could never really be turned into

allotments again. But this makes it perfect for goats, they are going to

love to eat the brambles. This is kind of going to be the heart and

soul when it's done. One, two, three.

That's spot on! A busy day in May. What we are doing is putting up the

second setting of the fencing. It is an interesting process because we

are all learning a lot as we go along. Construction work has also

started on the milking parlour. This is a timber frame, it will be an

absolute palace. The goats will be chuffed living here. We are

confident this is going to keep the goats in, but it remains to be seen!

It is June, and the goats have arrived safe and sound. If a little

unusually. I literally carried the kids into

the van. There was a mess behind the driver's seat, but not behind mine.

The goats, a nanny called Audrey and four boys, brought from a

straight to work, shop -- chomping straight to work, shop -- chomping

through the brambles and camera equipment. The us back the

microphone cable was the thing -- first thing to be damaged. We like

the parlour isn't finished yet, but milk -- milking has already started.

All four we've got here now are boys. This is not a petting zoo, it

is a project where we are talking about food production, so all of

these four boys will end up being eaten, but we want to use the whole

of the animals to show there is a much more sustainable way to engage

with animals, that they can have a good life in the meantime as well.

By July, the group have borrowed a second nanny goat. Blossom's been

released to the different people milking her, it's a bit more

difficult with the other goat. She has never been milked before. I

noticed my hands grew in size after just one milking shift! That is not

the only change she noticed. I've found I haven't wanted to buy any

dairy off the shelves. I just want to drink this milk. Yes. Really

thinking about how those animals are treated in order to put that on the

shelves, and the fact that it is really disconnected, it is really

interest -- easy to go in and buy it, but now I appreciate where it

has come from. Some of us have got a bit of a

surplus that we make into cheese, it's never perfect and it never

tastes like the would buy in a shop, somehow it -- I want to eat it more

than I want to eat shop bought cheese.

The goats are running out of things to eat by October. I've been on here

about three weeks. You can see how much they have eaten all the way

round here. The milking parlour palace is almost complete. At the

moment we keep one pen for hay and straw, and the other pen, flora and

Audrey sleep in together. The boys were never given names, and their

accommodation is a little bit more basic. But they will not be in it

all winter. You cannot get attached, they are working animals doing a

job, clearing the ground. But I shall miss them. Yes. Especially the

one with a spot on his nose. A friend of mine asked me, doesn't it

make you guilty caring for animals and then killing them? I thought

guilty if I buy me that I don't know guilty if I buy me that I don't know

where it's come from. And I don't have any idea of how that animal has

lived before it was butchered. So to be able to see the animal from

birth, to butchery to cooking and eating, that feels like a much more

natural process to me. On a cold natural process to me. On a cold

November morning, milking carries on as normal for the nannies. But for

the boys, a very different day lies ahead. The goats we've bought, the

boys, they came as a package. And very early on we did have a chat

about what we would do with them afterwards. And so, amazingly we did

all agree that we could go along with having them slaughtered for

meat. And the day has arrived. It is part of the whole process, and I

think we deceive ourselves in supermarkets when we look at the

packaged meat and we don't identify with where that meat has come from.

I think a lot more of us would be vegetarians if we weren't

hypocritical! The next time the group

get-together, instead of the usual goat meeting, it is for a goat

eating a meeting. Remember, LR, we were massaging this one's leg when

it was sore. -- LR. -- Ella. The group are making use of every part

of the animal. The organs and bones are turned into stock, and the

skins, into leather. Becks was the last of the group to see them alive.

The goats came off the back of the trailer, then they were wandering

around, and I had to get them in the abattoir. And I don't -- didn't

understand that I had to go in with them. So they followed the inn, and

that was when it all became quite real, because I realised there was a

trust thing there, and the only reason they went in was because they

were saying "Yes, we always follow you." And I felt really emotional

living in them there. However emotional, the celebration feast has

been worth it, and they are already planning their next delivery of

goats to the allotment. Do you think you'd be able to kill

an animal you had raised? Join the conversation, on Facebook and
