Delegates at the UN Climate Change Conference have reached an agreement that - for the first time - calls on countries to "transition away from fossil fuels", although that doesn't include gas . . . We hear reaction from countries in the developed and developing worlds. And we ask whether the summit can be considered a success.
Also in the programme: we board the night train from Berlin to Paris, revived after it was scrapped nine years ago; and we hear how brain tissue and technology are being brought together for the next generation of computers.
