The UN climate conference wrapped up this weekend. And for the first time, wealthier nations have agreed to pay for damage caused by climate change in developing countries. Though the devil is in the details, nations feeling the environmental impacts say just agreeing to find a framework for "loss and damage" funding is still a big step forward. Also, Russian forces buried around 400 Ukrainians in a mass grave in a forest near the city of Izium in northeastern Ukraine. Authorities are trying to piece together what happened there. And, who's going to win the World Cup? An Oxford mathematician has a pretty good guess. Plus, a musician's mission for the LGBTQ community in Brazil. Murder rates of trans and queer people in Brazil are among the highest in the world, and Bia Ferreira wants to inform and protect the LGBTQ community there.
