- Childcare in the UK is just about the most expensive in the world. A full time nursery place can cost more than £150 per week, per child. So there should be plenty of parents of 3 and 4 year olds in England celebrating the news that from September 1 they're eligible for an extra 15 hours of free childcare at an Ofsted registered nursery. And that's on top of the 15 hours they already get. But are we funding free childcare the right way? Should it be for everyone? Only for working parents? Or only for those who need it most? Is it time for a radical rethink on what free childcare is for? Former Shadow Education Secretary Lucy Powell and the LGA’s Vice Chairman David Simmonds discuss.

Gabriel Gatehouse has been to the site of the wall in Arizona and sent this report.

- Climate change poses huge challenges and some projections say it will cause hundreds of millions to become refugees. Desertification in sub-Saharan Africa plays a big part of that, and that in turn feeds into Europe's unfolding migrant crisis. Inna Modja is a Malian singer and activist who has been to Senegal for Newsnight to witness a pan-African initiative, the Great Green Wall. It aims to improve livelihoods in the Sahel region, reverse desertification, and break the cycle of exodus.
