Blow to UK's renewable goals

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The UN says the world is way off track in tackling global warming - the UK has suffered a blow to its efforts to increase the use of renewable energy: no new offshore wind projects have been bought by developers at a key government auction. Where does this leave the UK's net zero ambition? Also on the programme: Elon Musk says he stopped Ukraine from using his Starlink Satellite system to attack the Russian fleet. Should we be worried about how much influence one billionaire businessman holds over the fate of the war? And: After a jazz collective wins the Mercury Music Prize - we speak to members of the youth project they credit for launching their career - who join us for a live performance.
