New evidence of a warming world

New evidence from the EU's climate service, Copernicus, highlights that for the first time, the world was 1.5 degrees warmer than pre- industrial levels for a whole year.

Our top story today: the planet's temperature was 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels for a whole year - we hear from a top climate scientist that it doesn't necessarily mean that the world has already failed to meet the targets set at the Paris climate summit but it's not looking good.

We hear from the mother of a Palestinian student who was made a paraplegic after being shot in the US - as both Islamophobia and anti-Semitism increase there because of the war in Gaza.

And we get a critical view of the re-election of Azerbaijan's president - for a fifth straight mandate.
