Newsroom edition: the real net zero questions do not involve the Coalition
Evidence shows urgent action is needed to prevent the climate crisis from worsening but political will is waning. As the Coalition takes the debate back to the future on the merits of net zero, questions remain about Labor’s willingness to act on its own policies. Reged Ahmad speaks to editor Lenore Taylor, head of newsroom Mike Ticher and climate and environment editor Adam Morton on what’s distracting Australia from acting on the climate emergency

The many controversies of Mark Latham
Mark Latham came close to becoming an Australian prime minister, but it’s very different headlines being made now. After a career of controversy, the New South Wales upper house MP is being taken to a NSW local court by an ex-partner seeking an apprehended violence order. Separately, there have also been claims of inappropriate behaviour directed towards other female MPs. Latham will contest the allegations in the AVO matter in court and has otherwise denied any wrongdoing. Chief political correspondent Tom McIlroy speaks to Reged Ahmad about how this latest controversy has ricocheted to the upper echelons of federal Labor and sparked a debate about his portrait, which still hangs in Parliament House

CBS has described the show’s cancellation as “purely financial”. But, as the Guardian’s Washington DC bureau chief David Smith tells Reged Ahmad, others are not so sure.
