And the Scottish National party, which holds power in scotland, has also criticised the Uk Governments change of course. Earlier i spoke to the First Minister of scotland, humza yousaf. First minister, thank you so much forjoining us on bbc news. I want to start with the uk Prime Minister rishi sunak s announcement today on climate goals. The uk has been a leader on battling Climate Change. Where does this decision leave the uk . Well, it very firmly takes the uk out of the Global Consensus.
