Pre-COP26 climate talks wrap up in Milan
Environmental ministers from around the world finish a 3-day meet-up in Milan
With less than a month to go before the much-anticipated COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, climate and energy ministers from around the world are opening a final day of pre-COP talks in Milan. We ask the BBC Environment Correspondent Matt Macgrath what, if anything, has been accomplished?
Also in the programme: we speak to Awet Tesfaiesus, Germany's first-ever black female MP. And a tropical rainforest in Australia has officially been handed over to its traditional owners - the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people. We hear from a woman of that tribe.
Our panellists this week are Latika Bourke, UK correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald and George Parker, political editor of the Financial Times.
