The Prince of Wales has criticised big business for falling short and lacking courage in its efforts to tackle climate change.

0:45The Sunday Times reveals the heir to the throne is deeply frustrated by the private sector's apathy on the environment. William, who's been in Brazil for the Earthshot Prize and COP, also raised his concerns with Sir Keir Starmer and the Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. The former leader of the Green Party, Baroness Bennett, told Times Radio it's a vital intervention. This statement is absolutely right that big business is really not stepping up to the plate. Small business, small and medium enterprises want to, but they've got to get the support. So ultimately the issue here is government policies.

1:16Big business is taking out massive profits and the rest of us are paying. We need to rebalance our economy, supporting people and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises rather than allowing big business to rule the roost. The BBC chairman is to apologise and admit the corporation made a significant mistake in airing a doctored clip of Donald Trump. It's understood Samir Shah will try to stem criticism by conceding that a Panorama film unintentionally misled viewers. The documentary spliced together two parts of a speech the US president gave before the storming of the Capitol in 2021. The White House has accused the broadcaster of 100 % fake news.

1:54Speaking to Times Radio, the former BBC executive Roger Bolton called that ludicrous. But said the corporation had slipped up. But she'd always apologise if she gets things wrong. And I think the tragedy of this situation, of course, is that in principle that panorama programme was a good and fair one. The edit was not and shouldn't have happened. And of course, we should remember the House of Representatives and the Senate itself voted that Trump had tried to organise what they called was a self-coup. Labour MPs are raising concerns about potential immigration reforms modelled on Denmark, seen as one of the toughest systems in Europe.

2:29Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is to announce a major shake-up after a team of officials visited Copenhagen last month. Denmark grants most asylum seekers temporary permits that can be revoked, unlike the UK's more permanent system. Some Labour backbenchers have described the proposals as draconian or even racist. The Danish journalist Morten Runelond told Times Radio there's a key difference between the two countries. There's a main issue between Denmark and the UK, and that's the language barrier. That's the main, main thing. If people want to come to Denmark, it's not because it's going to be easy about the language.

3:02And you have that. It's easy access. Many people speak English, so it's different for the group of people coming to you, and I think that's why you would struggle to make some of our policies work. A woman in her 30s remains in hospital with serious injuries after being stabbed in the neck in Birmingham. A 21-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder following the attack near New Street Station on Friday night. And thousands of veterans are preparing to take part in a Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph later this morning. The King will lay a wreath at the memorial in central London and lead the nation in a two-minute silence at 11 o 'clock.

3:39The chairman of the Royal Naval Association, Andy Christie, is taking part in the March past and spoke to Times Radio. It's the one day you've got a chance to come and actually acknowledge those fellows and ladies that never made it back. And you just put yourself out on one day, get up early and march around and end up with very sore knees. So that's remembrance.
