Grim day for Twitter’s employees. Many staff revealed that their jobs have been axed in posts on the platform, painting a picture of cuts that spanned the globe and hit departments that ranged from marketing to engineering. They included communications, content curation, and product development employees. Kurt Wagner, social media correspondent at Bloomberg told us how the job cuts will affect the company. Also in the programme, we speak to environment correspondent Matt Mcgrath about the upcoming COP27 summit in Egypt which kicks off this weekend. We talked to Mitali Nikore, an economist from Delhi about the cost of air pollution in India.
