we start with a troubling landmark for the climate as 2023 smashes the record, for the world s hottest year ever recorded. european scientists say, that 2023 left the records tumbling like dominoes . the average global temperature in the past 12 months was 14.98 degrees. that beats the previous hottest year set in 2016 by 0.17 degrees. the announcement was made by the eu s climate change service. and the met office in the uk believes this record could be short lived, as their forecasts suggest 2024 could be even hotter. earlier, i spoke to our climate editor, justin rowlatt, who told me that record was broken by some margin. yeah, it is interesting, isn t it? the margin, as you say, was 0.17 celsius. you might say, well, that doesn t sound very much to me, but remember, this is a global average, an average across the entire globe day and night across the entire year, and normally scientists say they expect it to be broken by a tiny fraction of a degree, 0.01, 0.02, not

prosecutions into thousand 15. if we are to make sure that escande like this can never happen again, we need to look at the way in which private prosecutions like these have been undertaken. any company can bring private prosecutions in this way. this is not a special power of the post office, i know my right honourable friend the lord chancellor wants to give this issue proper and thoughtful consideration and i am sure he will report to the house about this issue in due course. getting justice for the victims of this candle and ensuring that such a tragedy can never happen again is my highest priority as a minister and has been throughout my 15 months in office. when we talk about compensation, we have to remember that the lives of postmasters and their families caught up in this scandal have been changed forever. they face financial ruin, untold personal distress and a loss of reputation that no amount of financial compensation can fully restore. the government recognises h
