COP26: Civil disobedience

As the international climate summit, COP26, approaches, we speak to climate activists who use direct action and civil disobedience to make their point. We ask how they justify their actions and what they say to those who argue that it’s counterproductive to the cause.

We’ll bring you the latest information from Sudan, where protesters have continued to march and block streets after Monday’s military takeover. We’ll play you some of the messages we’ve been receiving from people who are there and describe the images and footage they’re also sharing.

We’ll answer your questions on Covid-19 and talk through the latest news with one of our regular experts, Dr Maria Sundaram in Wisconsin. We’ll reflect the discussion in the United States after the FDA decision to approve the Pfizer vaccine for 5 to 11 year olds.
