COP 28: Countries left disappointed by draft deal


Listen Later

The draft text of COP28 summit agreement has prompted widespread backlash from countries vulnerable to climate change.

A group of small island states says the new draft is "completely insufficient" with "weak language on fossil fuels".

Almost 200 countries have representatives at the Dubai summit - all must agree or the deal collapses.

Plus, we're on the new night train from Paris to Berlin. And, are financial pressures driving young people in Taiwan to avoid parenthood and get a pet instead?

Throughout the show, Roger Hearing is joined by Cary Leahey, an economist in New York, and Karen Lema, Reuters bureau chief in the Philippines.
