BEN CHACKO reports on fears at TUC Congress that the provisions in the legislation are liable to be watered down even further

THIS week UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres warned that the world is “one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation.”
Speaking in New York at the opening of the long-delayed conference to review the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, his words have to be a wake-up call: to leaders that pursue policies inexorably driving towards nuclear war — and to populations that are not yet taking action to stop these terrible dangers.
Guterres has no doubt about the seriousness of the situation, that we are at a time of nuclear danger “not seen since the height of the cold war.”
