Newsday

Available for over a year

It's late in coming but developed nations will deliver one hundred billion dollars of climate finance to help developing countries every year from 2022. But the world has been warned that money alone will not fix the problem of climate change. We'll speak to our climate correspondent this hour to get an idea of what's been achieved so far this week at the climate conference in Glasgow. New research has uncovered a gene that doubles the risk of lung failure and death from Covid for people from a South Asian background. We'll speak to the army captain who wants to become the first woman of colour to walk the South Pole. And in sports news Antonio Conte wins his first game since taking over Tottenham Hotspurs.
