Liberal Democrats leader Sir Ed Davey is calling on the government to start building a "fully independent British nuclear deterrent" to end the UK's reliance on the US.

In a speech to his party's spring conference in York on Sunday, Sir Ed will argue the UK's continued reliance on US support is an unacceptable risk to national security.

A major 10-year hedgerow restoration programme is under way at a large National Trust farm.

The conservation charity plans to plant or restore about 23km (14 miles) of hedges on its 1,000-hectare (2.5-acre) estate at Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire.

A herd of English longhorn cows has been allowed to roam free to help restore dune grasslands on Sefton Coast on Merseyside.

The cows moved to pastures new in Formby this winter to act as nature's lawnmowers, grazing on plants which could become dominant or invasive.

The cattle were moved on to the site in November and will remain there until April as part of the trial between the National Trust and the Lancashire Wildlife Trust.
