It was an extraordinary and unusual apology. Last night Darren Woods, the Chief Executive of ExxonMobil, said his company was "deeply apologetic" about comments broadcast on this programme last night, in which one of the company's top Washington lobbyists revealed his efforts to water down a new law to tackle carbon emissions.
The lobbyist - Keith McCoy - was captured on camera by Greenpeace UK - and his comments set off a storm of negative coverage in the US.
Tonight we have more - this time about ExxonMobil's use of controversial toxic 'forever chemicals', gas and plastics.
Our Chief correspondent Alex Thomson has this exclusive report.
