	Description:		The UK went more than a week without coal to produce electricity, setting a new record. We consider the future for the fossil fuel with Melissa Brown of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, who tells us the US has just generated more electricity from renewables than coal for the first time. And we hear about Germany's coal reduction plan from German Green MEP Sven Giegold. Also in the programme, ride-hailing firm Uber is to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange today. We get analysis from the BBC's Samira Hussein in New York. Plus, India's richest man Mukesh Ambani has snapped up the world's oldest toy retailer, Hamleys.
