The UK is set to overturn several policies aimed at achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with Prime Minister Sunak promising a 'pragmatic' solution.
Sunak confirmed that the ban on on the sale of petrol and diesel cars would be pushed back from 2030 to 2035- bringing it in line with France and Germany.
The Prime Minister also announced energy efficiency targets for rental properties would be reduced and backtracked on requiring homeowners to replace gas boilers with heat pumps.
UK correspondent Enda Brady says Sunak is clearly seeking a second term ahead of the next general election- but Labour and Keir Starmer hold a lead in the polls.
