UN says humans 'threaten 1m species with extinction'

The devastating impact of humans on nature is laid bare in a UN report.

A wide ranging UN report on biodiversity says humans have wreaked havoc on the environment, in turn putting our own way of life under threat. Newshour speaks to one of the authors of that report.

Also on the programme: Turkish election authorities order a rerun of the vote for mayor of Istanbul, and did you spot a takeaway coffee cup in a Game of Thrones scene?
