A finance deal reached at the COP29 summit in Azerbaijan to help less-developed countries tackle climate change has been bitterly criticised for failing to meet the scale of the challenge. We talk to those who support it and those who say it is a “slap in the face”.
Also in the programme: UK parliament prepares to vote on a bill giving ill adults in England and Wales the right to choose to end their life; and London Jazz Festival hosts a special acknowledgement of 30 years of post-apartheid democracy in South Africa.
