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. The Global Consensus is we need to do more to tackle Climate Change. And the reason why scotland has been invited, for the first time, to the un for the Climate Ambition Summit is because we are showing leadership. So the same day we are showing leadership, the same day the whole world i
