Rosamund sued three UK government departments in 2024 and later received a settlement from them.

They wrote in a statement to her, quote, young children like Ella should not have to suffer because of our heir.

Meanwhile, Rosamund and her team have worked towards creating a bill that they call Ella's Law, or the Clean Air Human Rights Bill, requiring the UK to meet clean air targets by 2030 and legally enshrine clean air as a human right.

The bill was published just a couple of months ago and it's making its way through Parliament.

But over in the US, as we mentioned at the start of the show, things are moving in the opposite direction.

And experts say that those rollbacks, which make it easier for industry to pollute, it's expected that they will make the air dirtier.

And that could affect the health of millions of people in the U.S.
