Today, Spain and Portugal have been hit by large power cuts. The Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says the cause is still unknown.
Adam is joined by Rachel Morison, Energy Editor at Bloomberg, and Professor Keith Bell, Professor of Future Power systems at the University of Strathclyde, to discuss what we know - and what we don’t - about the huge power outages on the Iberian peninsula. Plus, what is the UK energy grid’s plan for if something similar were to happen here?
And the Kremlin has announced a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine, just after Donald Trump said he might be ready to walk away from negotiations and accusing Vladimir Putin of not wanting to end the war. Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg joins from Moscow to discuss what concessions Russia is seeking in a peace deal.
