COP30 begins in Brazil, but is the climate consensus over? | BBC Newscast

Adam is joined by the BBC’s climate editor Justin Rowlatt, and Daniela Relph royal correspondent, to discuss Keir Starmer and Prince William’s speeches at COP30.

The Prince and the Prime Minister gave speeches that were slightly at odds with each other as Prince William called upon “the power of urgent optimism” whilst the PM warned that the “consensus is gone” on climate change.

Plus Adam is joined by Alex who’s been deep diving into Reform led local UK councils and what their first six months of governance can tell us about what a Reform led UK government could look like.
