so i think it s absolutely right that having introduced these temporary measures but now seeing that omicron is everywhere, omicron testing has really outlived its usefulness and therefore, we don t keep things in place when there is no longer any point to having them there. the government is setting out plans to pay farmers and landowners in england to create nature reserves, and help rewild the countryside. the schemes, which will help replace eu subsidies after brexit, aim to turn thousands of acres to wildlife restoration. when the uk was part of the eu, farmers were given grants based on how much land they farmed. now, landowners and farmers will be allowed to bid for funding to turn vast areas of land between 500 and 5,000 hectares over to wildlife restoration, carbon sequestration, orflood prevention projects. let s get the reaction on this from minette batters, president of the national farmers union of england and wales.
