Ex-cabinet minister Amber Rudd at COP. The former home secretary – and energy secretary at the time of the last historic climate conference – joins Adam in Glasgow to look at how much progress has been made in the first few days of this summit.

The row involved an embarrassing U-turn for the government and brought back questions about trust in politics.
