Will controversy overshadow football?

Controversy as football's World Cup kicks off in Qatar.

The football World Cup kicks off in Qatar, but will the sport be overshadowed by controversy?

Also, delegates at the UN climate conference in Egypt have reached a deal on giving money to poorer countries for the loss and damage caused by global warming. We get the latest from the talks.

Plus, after weeks of anti-government demonstrations in Iran, we hear about the future of the protests that have claimed more 360 lives so far.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Ece Temelkuran, a Turkish journalist and author, now living in Hamburg, Germany; and Mark Kersten, assistant professor of human rights, law and international justice at the University of the Fraser Valley, in Canada, and a Senior Consultant at the Wayamo Foundation.
