How do you report climate science and should UFOs ever lead the news?

What should lead the news? Three journalists pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise's deputy editor Giles Whittell.

They discuss a new law that curtails the power of Israel's Supreme Court, Nigel Farage’s war on Coutts and whether the Gulf Stream will really collapse by 2025. They also find time to talk about the US congressional hearings on UFOs.

The producer was Rebecca Moore and the executive producer was Lewis Vickers.
