UN warns of catastrophe on Israel-Lebanon border

The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has accused Israel and Hezbollah of increasingly warlike rhetoric and called for an immediate de-escalation, saying the world cannot afford for Lebanon to become "another Gaza".

Also in the programme: in the US state of Hawaii a lawsuit brought by 13 young people has led to the government agreeing to decarbonise its transport system by 2045; and a new play inspired by the 1997 Kyoto Protocol on climate change opens in London's West End.

Today’s guests are Eunice Goes, professor of politics at Richmond University, and Matthew Green, global investigations editor at the climate news service DeSmog.
