Rishi Sunak is set to give a speech this week outlining changes to the government's environmental policies. The plans to phase out new petrol and diesel cars, and gas boilers, will likely be delayed. What does the Prime Minister stand to gain? James Heale speaks to Fraser Nelson and Katy Balls.

The reaction - to a move by Rishi Sunak to delay the government's green policies – has been mixed to say the least, with opposition parties slamming the prime minister's leadership as “weak” and the decision “damaging” for the climate. As net zero sceptics cheered there was criticism from some in the car industry and the more environmentally minded Conservative politicians. On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our science correspondent Thomas Moore and Politico's UK editor Jack Blanchard for their analysis and a deeper look at what it all means politically, as well as for voters, industry and climate change. *While we've got you...please take a few moments to let us know your thoughts on our podcasts and your listening preferences by filling in a short survey - Click hereSenior podcast producer: Annie Joyce Podcast promotion producer: David Chipakupaku Editor: Wendy Parker

Rishi Sunak is considering weakening some of the government's key green commitments in a major policy shift. It could include delaying a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and phasing out gas boilers, multiple sources have told the BBC. The prime minister did not deny the reports, saying he was committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 but in a "more proportionate way". Home Secretary Suella Braverman told Today's Justin Webb the “costs of achieving some of these arbitrary targets has to be taken into account”. While Sir Alok Sharma, who headed COP26 in Glasgow, spoke to Nick Robinson about what he wants to hear from the prime minister. By: John Walton Credit: PA Location: London, United Kingdom

O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva discursou na abertura da Assembleia-Geral da ONU, em Nova York, nesta terça-feira, e enfatizou o resgate ao universalismo em sua política externa e que o Brasil está de volta para contribuir na resolução dos problemas globais.  O mandatário brasileiro também cobrou os países ricos que mantenham a sua promessa de uma contribuição de US$ 100 milhões para o Fundo Amazônia. O mandatário brasileiro também sinalizou a necessidade de uma reforma na governança global. Tradicionalmente o Brasil é o primeiro a falar no evento, que está esvaziado em 2023, sem as presenças de políticos importantes como o presidente da China, Xi Jinping, o presidente da Rússia, Vladimir Putin, o primeiro-ministro do Reino Unido, Rishi Sunak, e o mandatário francês, Emmanuel Macron. O problema para Lula é que hoje a posição do Brasil na política externa exige um equilíbrio muito mais complexo que em seus dois mandatos anteriores. O País precisa se reposicionar após a desastrosa relação com outras nações do governo Bolsonaro. No entanto, Lula tem se mostrado menos habilidoso do que em seus governos anteriores para tratar questões internacionais. Afinal, o que o discurso de Lula na ONU pode mostrar de caminhos para a política externa brasileira? No ‘Estadão Notícias' de hoje, vamos conversar sobre o assunto com a professora de Relações Internacionais da ESPM Denilde Holzhacker.

What effect will these changes have environmentally, economically, and politically. And why are Tory MPs now tearing strips off each other?

C dans l'air du 16 septembre - La France : "L'Allemagne en mieux" ! C'est devenu la nouvelle rengaine du gouvernement français. Souligner les difficultés de ses voisins européens pour mieux valoriser ses réussites. Les Allemands appellent ça "Schadenfreude". En déplacement outre-Rhin à l'occasion des Rencontres franco-allemandes d'Evian le 7 septembre, le ministre de l'Économie français Bruno Le Maire s'est félicité de la santé de l'économie française, ce qui n'a pas manqué d'agacer quelques patrons allemands, qui s'inquiètent du déclin de la leur. Même Emmanuel Macron s'est fendu d'une petite pique devant ses ministres le 6 septembre dernier : "Vous êtes des ministres chanceux, dans un pays qui n'est ni en récession ni en cure d'austérité." Il faut dire que l'économie allemande inquiète, fragilisée par sa dépendance au gaz russe et au marché chinois. Son PIB a diminué de 0,3 % entre janvier et mars, après une première baisse 0,5 % au dernier semestre 2022. En récession depuis le début de l'année, l'Allemagne peine aussi à endiguer l'inflation qui atteint 6%. "L'industrie allemande était très dépendante des importations d'énergie russe, en particulier de gaz. […] Il fallait le remplacer à des prix plus élevés. C'est pourquoi les prix de l'énergie sont plus élevés", s'est justifié le ministre allemand de l'économie, Robert Habeck. À ces difficultés s'ajoutent des tensions de plus en plus récurrentes dans la coalition d'Olaf Scholz, entre les Libéraux du FDP, tenants de la rigueur budgétaire, les écologistes et les sociaux-démocrates du chancelier. L'un des responsables du FDP accuse les deux autres partis "une addiction à la dépense publique". Pourtant, le délabrement des services publics allemands n'est plus un secret, à commencer par les écoles. Au printemps dernier, le grand hebdomadaire allemand Der Spiegel faisait sa une sur le délabrement des établissements scolaires : "L'état des écoles est révélateur du désintérêt de la classe politique pour l'éducation : bâtiments vétustes, classes surchargées, enseignants non remplacés. Et le suivi des professeurs est quasi inexistant : tandis que certains se la coulent douce, d'autres croulent sous le travail". Sans parler du système ferroviaire : en 2022, seuls 65,2 % des trains de la Deutsche Bahn (DB), la principale compagnie ferroviaire, sont arrivés à l'heure. Le résultat de deux décennies de désinvestissement dans les infrastructures ferroviaires du pays. Pour le gouvernement, qui souhaite remédier au problème, le défi réside en sa capacité à rénover le réseau tout en maintenant le trafic à son niveau actuel. Du côté du Royaume-Uni, le gouvernement évite la récession mais fait face à une économie au ralenti, avec une quatorzième hausse des taux d'intérêt d'affilée décidée par la banque d'Angleterre en août. Une stratégie qui peine à endiguer la hausse des prix de 6,8% enregistrée en juillet. Le gouvernement vise une diminution de cette inflation à 3% d'ici l'année prochaine. Comme ses voisins européens, le Royaume-Uni est durement impacté par la flambée des coûts de l'énergie, notamment le gaz qui produit 40% de l'électricité britannique. Si le pays connaît un faible taux de chômage (4%), les employeurs peinent à recruter et ont dû affronter de nombreuses grèves de salariés ces derniers mois. Conjuguée à l'effritement des échanges commerciaux depuis le Brexit, l'inflation continue de plomber l'économie britannique. De quoi mettre en péril le gouvernement du conservateur Rishi Sunak à quelques mois des prochaines élections générales ? Pourquoi l'économie française se porte-elle mieux que sa voisine allemande ? L'Allemagne doit-elle rouvrir le débat sur la rigueur budgétaire pour relancer son économie ? Comment les services publics allemands sont-ils devenus aussi fragiles ? Au Royaume-Uni le gouvernement va-t-il faire les frais de la stagnation économique ?

The Government is facing calls to declare China a threat to the UK's democracy

Rishi Sunak earned almost £5m in the past three years, yet this was only taxed at a rate of 22%.
