Big oil grilled by Congress

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Oil companies are accused of misleading the public about climate change and the companies say they hope to highlight their recent efforts on the issue. We hear from the BBC's Samira Hussain, who's following the hearing from New York. And following Facebook's name change to Meta, we get analysis from Alex Heath at The Verge. Plus, the government in Beijing is calling a halt to Chinese cities' race to the heavens by imposing height limits for sky scrapers. We hear from Sherry Fei Ju, a business reporter in Beijing. And we'll hear how the changing climate is causing problems - and creating opportunities - for Europe's wine makers. Plus we're joined throughout the programme by Alexander Kaufman, senior climate reporter at the HuffPost and Stefani Yuen Thio, joint managing partner of TSMP in Singapore.
