New Zealand's radical new smoking law

Newsday

Available for over a year

We speak to New Zealand's Associate Health Minister about the sweeping crackdown on smoking they have announced. Dr Ayesha Verrall is a medical doctor who's seen the damage smoking causes. We have the latest on the row over the reports of a staff Christmas party in 2020 in Downing Street, the residence of the British Prime Minister, while there were strict Covid restrictions. And why have three top officials from the former ruling party in Malawi been arrested?
