Youth prioritise global issues

A First News poll of about 1,000 youngsters revealed the majority would put global issues at the top of their list of priorities if they were a world leader for a day.

A third, 43%, said they would stop all wars.

Meanwhile, just over a quarter, 29%, listed ending world hunger as their top priority.

Almost one in six of those surveyed, 17%, said that they would want to stop climate change.

About one in eight, 12%, said that their first job would be to bring in a three-day weekend, while 8% said their top priority would be banning homework.
