Climate Agreement Reached In Poland
UN delegates agree to rules on implementing the Paris Accords.
Delegates to the UN climate conference in Poland have reached an agreement on how to implement the Paris Climate Accord, which comes into force in 2020. However the deal has been criticised by some countries and environmental groups for lacking the ambition needed to prevent dangerous levels of global warming. Also on the programme, after losing his chief of staff John Kelly, earlier in the week, US President Donald Trump has now lost Ryan Zinke, his Secretary Of The Interior. Is this turnover normal? And we look ahead to the inauguration of the first female president of Georgia, which takes place later today.
Our panel guests today are political commentator Giles Kenningham and Bloomberg journalist Stephanie Baker.
