Turning Point in the Fight Against Global Warming

Paris climate deal comes into effect; Article 50 and Brexit; The Archbishop of Aleppo

The Paris agreement on climate change has come into force, obliging governments to keep the global temperature rise to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The United Nations climate chief, Patricia Espinosa, described it as a turning point in the fight against global warming.

The High Court in the UK has ruled that Parliament must have a say on triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which gets formal talks on Brexit under way. The government has instantly launched an appeal against the decision.

As the fighting in Aleppo continues, we speak to the Archbishop of Aleppo in the Newsday studio.
