British prime minister has announced changes to the UK's environmental policies

British prime minister has announced changes to the UK's environmental policies.

The British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has delivered a speech to set out widespread changes to the UK's environmental policies. The alterations included the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars being moved from 2030 to 2035. Mr Sunak said he still committed to reaching net zero by 2050 but in a "more proportionate way". We speak to our political correspondent. 

Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has addressed the UN Security Council. He urged the United Nations to strip Russia of its veto at the Security Council. We bring the key points from the speech.

We talk about America’s fentanyl problem, following the death of a child at a New York nursery where one kilo of fentanyl was discovered underneath a mat where the children had been sleeping. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
