About this episode

Is hydrogen on its way to saving the planet? The government is hoping low-carbon hydrogen can make a big difference to how we sustainably generate energy in the UK. Business minister Lord Callanan joins Adam to explain how it could enter our daily lives. And Neil Kermode from the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney pops in to tell us how he’s turning the islands on to hydrogen.

Also, a historic trial starts in France which will investigate what happened in the 2015 Paris attacks which left 130 people dead. Paris-based journalist Lisa Louis joins us from outside the specially designed courtroom to tell us what to expect from what will be a long and emotional trial.

Newscast was made by Rick Kelsey with producer Alix Pickles. Emma Crowe is the studio manager. Sam Bonham is the assistant editor.
