China Climate Vow as Trump Decision Looms

Available for over a year

China says it will honour a key climate deal, as the US appears poised to pull out. We ask Maeve McLynn, climate and development policy coordinator at the campaign group Climate Action Network in Brussels, how big a blow it would be for the planet if the US does pull out of the Paris climate agreement. Also in the programme, new anti-bribery legislation has come into force in France. We find out more from Lisa Osofsky, who's a former deputy general counsel of the FBI, and is now at the London consultancy Exiger. The head of South Africa's state-owned power company Eskom has been sacked, after just two weeks in the job. The BBC's Matthew Davies tells us why. Some Premier League footballers are asking to be paid in euros rather than pounds to mitigate the effects of the decline in the value of sterling, after last year's Brexit vote. Keiran McGuire is a football finance expert at Liverpool University, and tells us how much sympathy he has for those affected. Plus the BBC's Rob Young hears from hi-tech British businesses who fear for the consequences of Britain's coming split with the European Union. (Picture: Chimneys in Tianjin. Picture credit: EPA.)
