our political correspondent ben wright reports. abandoning your leader, defecting from the party, is a big step to take. but dan poulter has had enough of the tories. he's been a doctor and a conservative mp for 1h years, but in a blow for rishi sunak, he's defected to labour with a punchy parting shot. i found it increasingly difficult to look my nhs colleagues in the eye, my patients in the eye and my constituents in the eye with good conscience, and i feel that the nhs deserves better than it has at the moment in terms of how it is run and governed. a conservative spokesperson said: dr poulter will stay as an mp until the next general election which he and the labour party are calling for as soon as possible. whenever the election is, rishi sunak doesn't have long to haul his party out of the political hole it's in. while he will hope the doctor's defection to labour is a one—off and quickly forgotten, voters may see a tory party struggling to hold itself together. ben wright, bbc news. let's speak to our political corresponde

. _ we've come a long way since the wright brothers' first flight in 1903. that day, they lifted the world into a new dimension. then we achieved bigger, faster planes. great, but that's also how we ended up with all these emissions. jet engines burn kerosene, which releases carbon dioxide, one of the main greenhouse gases causing climate change. the industry faces an enormous challenge to clean up its act, and that means coming up with new fuels. let's take a look at some of the options. there are biofuels, which are made out of things like plants or vegetable oils, but they still produce some harmful emissions. then there's electric. but although batteries are getting far more efficient, the size that you'd need to power a passengerjet would be way too heavy. and there's one potential solution that's getting people really excited — hydrogen. hydrogen fuel cells combine hydrogen and oxygen to create a flow of electrons around a circuit to power a motor. and as we all know, hydrogen plus oxygen equals h20. the problem is... we can't do much about the funda
