EU hammers out controversial farm subsidy reform
EU governments and Euro MPs have reached a controversial deal to shift farm spending more towards environmental targets.

The wealthiest recipients of farm subsidies will get a 5% cut - but many MEPs wanted a bigger cut than that.
The BBC's Chris Morris explained in June why the farm budget is such a thorny issue for the EU.
