Africa Climate Summit: New taxes proposed

African leaders are proposing new global taxes to fund the fight against climate change.

Leaders at the three-day Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, have issued a declaration proposing new taxes across the world to fund action against climate change. The heads of state say the declaration will form the basis of their negotiating position at November's COP28 summit in Dubai. Our correspondent in Nairobi tells us more.

We’ll also hear two African climate activists in conversation, about the issues they feel are most underrepresented at the summit.

The father and stepmother of a child murdered in the UK have said they are willing to cooperate with police, after allegedly fleeing to Pakistan after her death in August. We’ll hear from Pakistan’s capital Islamabad.

And a row continues in India after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government used the term "Bharat" in an official invite for the G20 Summit being sent on behalf of the president. We’ll get detail on the background to this debate.
