The Kyoto protocol on global warming comes into effect today, seven years after it was negotiated in Japan. The treaty commits most of the world's industrial nations – but not the United States - to cut green house gas emissions by 5% from 1990 levels by 2012. But is it enough? We'll be looking at what it all means for the environment, while Tony Juniper will give Friend of the Earth's side of things.
More parochially, we'll be covering the Court of Appeal's decision to reject the Countryside Alliance's bid to overturn the hunting ban and Tony Blair's call for Ken Livingstone to apologise to the Jewish Evening Standard journalist he compared to a concentration camp guard.
Elsewhere on the site, Xan Brooks has interviewed Donnie Dunagan on Guardian Unlimited Film. Never heard of him? The man was the voice of Bambi, a spy in cold war Berlin, a soldier in Vietnam, and a victim of Enron's financial meltdown. It's all very Forrest Gump. On Guardian Unlimited Travel, meanwhile, Arabella Weir is reporting back from the palaces of Rajasthan.
