Listen Later

As Northern Ireland comes up to its centenary, polls suggest a majority of people in Britain and Ireland see the province breaking away from the U.K. within 25 years.
Declan Kearney, national chairperson for Sinn Fein, MLA and junior minister in Stormont, tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing Brexit has changed the landscape and it's time to begin a process for a referendum on a united Ireland.

Plus Bloomberg Opinion columnist Therese Raphael joins to discuss the ambitious climate goals set by the government - reducing emissions 78 percent by 2035 compared to 1990 levels.
