Summary

COP26 came to a close at the weekend, but did India and China scupper an opportunity for real progress on climate change? Does the Glasgow pact go far enough? Plus, a horrific terror attack in Liverpool mars Remembrance Day, what do we know so far? And as sleaze allegations continue to come out, is the Johnson premiership now on a downward trajectory? Naomi Smith and Ros Taylor take you through the week ahead. “India and China are struggling to understand a future without coal.” “Alok Sharma was quite devastated, he had invested a huge amount into getting rid of coal.” “It does feel as though the shine has come off Johnson, but there isn’t an alternative they’re excited to go to yet.” “Sleaze could be something that is very difficult for the Government to shake off.” “In terms of levelling-up, cancelling the HS2 link to Leeds does not look good.” Presented by Ros Taylor with Naomi Smith. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
