Campaigners say the former prince must face criminal probe
BRITAIN should cut greenhouse gas emissions by nearly four-fifths by 2035, government climate advisers have said.

People should also be encouraged to cut the amount of meat and dairy in their diet by a fifth in the next decade, the committee claimed.
