Trump Relaxes Obama-Era Coal Restrictions

BBC World Service - Newshour, Trump Relaxes Obama-Era Coal Restrictions

Trump administration announces plans to roll back regulations limiting coal emissions

The US Environmental Protection Agency has announced plans to scrap the Clean Power Plan, an Obama era bill to restrict carbon emissions from coal-fired power stations. It will instead allow individual states to decide for themselves just how little regulation their power plants need. 

Also in the programme: Reports that Al Qaeda's chief bomb-maker has been killed. Venezuelans struggle to get hold of the new currency introduced by their government.
