A new 1800 page report out paints a dire picture of the global state of biodiversity. The UN assessment that nature is declining at rates unprecedented in human history, as many as one million plant and animal species are at risk of extinction. Associate Professor James Russell explains what transformational change the world needds to combat the issue. Edinburgh CBD has been closed to traffic, as the city joined the Open Streets movement in a bid to reduce air pollution. It will be closing roads to traffic on the first Sunday of every month as part of an 18 month trial. We speak to Ludo Campbell-Reid, General Manager of the Auckland Council Design Office, and Design Champion for Auckland, about whether the same can and will be done here. The New Zealand boss of Chinese Company Huawei Andrew Bowater has spoken in very clear terms of how GCSBs decision to exclude Huawei from rolling out 5G was in his view, political fearmongering. He says there was very little evidence presented against the company. The panelists discuss.
