Donald Trump's latest choice alarms environmental lobby

Donald Trump has made another controversial choice for a senior government post. He's picked a climate change sceptic Scott Pruitt to run the Environmental Protection Agency. The appointment has outraged environmentalists - with one group describing his views as being on the 'outer extreme edge' of opinion. Mr Trump described the agency as having an 'out-of-control anti-energy agenda that has destroyed millions of jobs.'
