COP26: the story so far

Available for over a year

At the end of the first week of climate negotiations in Glasgow we take stock of progress. Claire Shakya is director of climate change at the International Institute of Environment and Development, and discusses the commitments made to find funds to help developing economies tackle climate change. Also in the programme, the US economy added 531,000 jobs in October, beating analysts expectations. We look at the latest date with Chris Low of FHN Financial. We have a report from Stoke-on-Trent in central England about reported taxi driver shortages, after the organisation representing the industry in the UK said more than half of licensed drivers have not returned to the trade since the pandemic. Plus, the Swedish pop group Abba have released their first album in 40 years, and BBC music reporter Steve Holden tells us why the band has come back together again now.
