Malaysia: ex-PM faces court in global financial scandal

Najib Razak is on trial over charges relating to the 1MDB wealth fund. At least $4.5 billion are alleged to have been stolen from the fund. Our reporter Leisha Santorelli has the latest. Kenya has reinforced one of the world’s strictest plastic bag bans. 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. 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.
