Climate activists take to the streets in Milan

Alongside the pre-COP climate talks, activists express their outrage.

Thousands of young climate activists from around the world have converged on Milan, site of the pre-COP climate talks. We speak to a climate campaigner from the Dominican Republic.

Also in the programme: we hear from a former prisoner who has been chosen for the 2021 MacArthur Fellow for his work bringing "micro-libraries" to prisons across the US. He tells us what it was like serving an eight-year sentence for car-jacking as a teenager and how reading books in jail changed his life.

Our panellists this week are Latika Bourke, UK correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald and George Parker, Political Editor of the Financial Times.
