Warnings that animal welfare is at risk on some Scottish Islands because of widespread disruption to ferry services.

Ripples from conflict in the Middle East are felt in UK ports; the fishing industry is asking the Government for help with fuel costs.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
