Every fortnight, the ENDS team runs down the biggest green news stories, shines a spotlight on some pretty nasty chemicals, and takes a forensic look at one of the more deep-rooted environmental issues facing us today.

In this eighth episode, the team explores:

• DEFRA proposed new nature and water targets
• Whether the Environment Agency and Natural England are set to be overhauled
• The devastation of the otter, salmon and crayfish-rich river Lugg
• How forever chemicals are making it into drinking water 
• And why toxic toys are able to enter the market undetected
