Floods and wildfires blamed on climate change

How much are Venice floods and Australia wildfires about climate change?

The mayor of Venice has blamed climate change for severe flooding in the city. This week we've been talking about bushfires in Australia as well but how much are they about climate change? Our Environment correspondent Matt McGrath explains.

And as protests and clashes continue in Hong Kong, we speak to foreign students who have been urged to leave the territory.

We also go to Zimbabwe to hear about the annual budget with the country facing economic collapse.

And we’ll talk to mobile phone customers about “nostalgia marketing”, after Motorola reveals that it’s reviving its slim flip phone, 15 years after the original device hit the market.
