Kenya strengthens plastic bag ban

Kenya has reinforced a plastic bag ban to cover all non-woven bags. Offenders face stiff fines and possibly a jail term. Our Kenya reporter Zawadi Mudibo tells us how the new law is being received. And we get wider perspective from Eliot Whittington, director of policy at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership at Cambridge University. Also in the programme, Facebook is making some new moves to combat fake news and manipulation. Our reporter explains the changes. Plus our regular environmental commentator, Jonathon Porritt, discusses a proposal in the UK to install solar panels on a million homes of people on low incomes.
