Climate cash win for poor countries at COP28

Deal to start giving money to the countries hardest hit by global warming.

The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the "loss and damage" fund was essential to delivering climate justice to the most vulnerable. The first pledges -- after a three-decade campaign -- amount to a few hundred million dollars.

Also in the programme: the legacy of the late US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in Chile; and the lead singer of the Anglo-Irish band The Pogues, Shane MacGowan, has died at the age of 65.
