Against soaring costs, environmental rules and the buying power of supermarkets. Rishi sunak has been addressing the National Farmers union annual conference In Birmingham hes the first Prime Minister to do so in 15 years. Heres our environment correspondentjonah fisher. Cow moos in the fields and on the farms, all is not well. Were the end of the line in this farm. Our kids dont want to take it on because theres no money in it. Liz webster has 350 cows and says a combination of factors, including brexit, rising costs and unpredictable weather, has left many farmers like herself at their wits� end. Are you still making a profit . Is it still profitable to be a farmer . No, its not so why are you doing it . I dont know because its a way of life. Sometime in the next 12 months, theres going to be a general election. And what farmers are hoping is that their concerns about, among other things, Food Security, prices and the environment will be key topics which politicians will have to address when they hit the campaign trail. And so it was that rishi sunak came to birmingham this morning to speak to the annual conference of the National Farmers� union. I know that the transition from the Common Agricultural policy has been frustrating. Its taken time and i appreciate the perception that we didnt always get the balance exactly right. But i still believe that the vision is the right one. The services we provide must be shaped around your needs. There was no new money, but he announced support for innovation and technology and moves to make the contracts between farmers and supermarkets more transparent. Food security will also now be monitored every year. I have got your back. Thank you very much applause the Prime Minister was met with polite applause. But many farmers all across europe are furious and have taken to the streets. This was wales last week. Roads brought to a standstill over new rules designed to help nature recover. The farmers perhaps impossible challenge to increase production while Keeping Prices down and the environment protected. Jonah fisher, bbc news. Lets get some more reaction from david exwood Vice President of the National Farmers union hes at their conference In Birmingham. Looking at those pictures and hearing the stories of farmers across europe, it paints a picture of a very unhappy place to work right now, that farming is not the industry that many would like it to be, so what are the biggest concerns .

Farmers are under pressure at the moment, we are in a volatile i at the moment, we are in a volatile world and energy costs have been up and down and markets all over the place and Government Policies are changing and that is leading to a crisis of confidence. Farmers are feeling squeezed and uncertain about the future and that is why we are delighted the Prime Minister came here today and put himself in front of farmers and talked about Food Security, that really matters. The conce t security, that really matters. The concept of security, that really matters. The concept of Food Security, that really matters. The concept of Food Security is important and we often talk about Energy Security, given what is going on around the world but Food Security often takes a back step, so talk about the importance and the role that farmers play in securing Food Security within the uk and domestic environments because it is about domestic farmers who look after their populations . We about domestic farmers who look after their populations . After their populations . We all understand after their populations . We all understand the after their populations . We all understand the concept after their populations . We all understand the concept of after their populations . We all. Understand the concept of Energy Security and having secure supplies of energy and we need the same for food. We cant rely on other countries to feed us and how much food we grow in this country is really important and we should be growing food where we can. We are pleased about the index and the annual target and annual reporting of what is going on with food in this country and then the next question is what we do with that index and how we react and whether Food Production in this country is falling or not but the recognition of it, alongside Energy Security and the legislated environment, it starts to put balance back into the policy discussion.

Lets turn to Climate Change now and the shift to Electric Cars because the boss of fiat is calling on the uk government to start subsidising drivers to buy them again or risk missing its own targets on ev uptake. The government has mandated that 22 of all cars registered in 2024 must be zero emission. Rising to 52 in four years time. But according to the latest figures forjanuary. Just 14. 7 of new registrations were evs. And while overall sales were up driven by purchases for company car fleets and the like, there was a steep fall in the number of private buyers choosing electric down over 25 on the same time last year. Lets speak to Motoring Expert Quentin Wilson hes the founder of faircharge a uk Campaign Group promoting the switch to electric vehicles. Thanks forjoining us. Talk to me about the difference, it is a weird gap opening up, sales for businesspeople, electric vehicles, they are growing but the private individuals it is falling, why is that . It individuals it is falling, why is that . ,. , , individuals it is falling, why is that . , that . It is not surprising, really, we have a that . It is not surprising, really, we have a geopolitical that . It is not surprising, really, we have a geopolitical storm that . It is not surprising, really, | we have a geopolitical storm and that . It is not surprising, really, we have a geopolitical storm and we are in recession as we now know, quarter four are in recession as we now know, Quarterfour Uk are in recession as we now know, quarter four uk recession and consumers are not buying any big ticket items, least of all Electric Cars, and sales of all new cars are down 15. 9 in the period. And there is a lot of misinformation from social media and the Mainstream Media about the reliability of batteries, that they catch fire, so consumers are holding off, and we have taken away the subsidies, as well. 27 eu member states, 20 are still giving solid subsidies, 8000 euros in greece and 12,000 subsidy in cyprus but we give consumers nothing. What we have got now is a chasm between those early people who adopted and the fleet buyers who bought them quite happily over the last couple of years, and now we need to jump that chasm into private buyers and the market needs stimulus. It was premature of the government to take those subsidies away on Electric Cars and electric charges and it needs some stimulus to get it going again. The charges and it needs some stimulus to get it going again. To get it going again. The boss of sa s the to get it going again. The boss of says the subsidies to get it going again. The boss of says the subsidies need to get it going again. The boss of says the subsidies need to to get it going again. The boss of says the subsidies need to come| to get it going again. The boss of says the subsidies need to come back but the question is whether the subsidies are being directed in the right place the boss of fiat. Would it be better to say we will spend the money improving recycling facilities for batteries and charging infrastructure across the country and that would be a bigger driver of take up rather than making it cheaper to buy them . You driver of takeup rather than making it cheaper to buy them . Driver of takeup rather than making it cheaper to buy them . You need to create the demand it cheaper to buy them . You need to create the demand among it cheaper to buy them . You need to create the demand among private i create the demand among private buyers to create the activity and build the factory and the Battery Factories because without the initial demand, it is not worth doing, and you have america with 390 billion with the green subsidy, europe with their green deal, 25 billion, and we are not doing much at all and the recent report from the House Of Lords said the Government Strategy badly needs a recharge. What we have to understand, ourauto recharge. What we have to understand, our Auto Industry in the uk is under threat from china and europe and america and we really need to pick up the pace and start making our ev strategy long term, make it fit for purpose so Global Investors will come to the uk and say, they will not be any flip flopping, this is say, they will not be any flip flopping, this is here say, they will not be any flip flopping, this is here for the long term, i would invest, and create the Battery Factories and high tech jobs and protect the Auto Industry. Hightech obs and protect the auto indust. ,. ,. , industry. Quentin, thanks for oininu industry. Quentin, thanks for joining us the head of the the Global Airline lobby group iata has given his backing to boeings management despite the latest Safety Crisis to engulf the company. Boeing has come under fire from regulators, lawmakers and some Airline Bosses after part ofa 737 max 9 blew out mid flight last month. Willie walsh the former ba boss who now heads up the International Air transport association told the bbc he thinks boeing are handling the situation well. Boeing has responded in the right way. Theyve taken ownership of the problem. Theyve put their hands up. They acknowledge that there is a serious issue that they need to address. And i think theyre going about that in the right way. And thats what the industry will want to see. So im confident that boeing will take the right measures and will regain their status as a World Class Global supplier of aircraft. Lets speak to our us Business Correspondent in new york erin delmore. That is quite a vote of confidence. Given iatas role in representing the worlds airlines. Yes, and also dave carroll honed at the moment he finds himself in, facing criticism from regulators and lawmakers dave calhoun. Willie walsh did not expect to see orders for Boeing Planes go down and he did not consumers to hesitate over going on there planes and it is worth mentioning that some of that might be down to the response from boeing due to the crisis and it is one of two major suppliers of aircraft along with our bus and consumers may not be looking to see what they are flying on air bus. They tend to look at whether they are getting the cheaper price they can for a ticket. It is worth mentioning that when we talk about the leading airplay manufacturers, there are up and comers in the field and shine its Making A Splash with the Singapore Airshow introducing their plane which did a fight over even though as of this moment it is only certified within china. Fly over. Thanks forjoining us. In other news. The governor of the Bank Of England Andrew Bailey says its not unreasonable that Financial Markets are betting on Interest Rate cuts this year.
