New Zealand's radical new smoking law

BBC World Service - Newsday, New Zealand's radical new smoking law

The government is aiming to create a non-smoking generation within 3 years

If the law is enacted, those aged 14 or born after 2008 won't be able to buy tobacco at all.

We speak to New Zealand's Associate Health Minister about the sweeping crackdown on smoking they have announced. Dr Ayesha Verrall is a medical doctor who's seen the damage smoking causes.

We have the latest on the row over the reports of a staff Christmas party in 2020 in Downing Street, the residence of the British Prime Minister, while there were strict Covid restrictions.

And why have three top officials from the former ruling party in Malawi been arrested?
