Summary

World leaders will start meeting in Egypt on Sunday at COP27, the sequel to last year's climate summit in Glasgow, in an effort to tackle climate change. But with the UN warning that the global effort to cut emissions is "woefully inadequate", could this COP be more of a flop? Adam previews the conference with COP26 President Alok Sharma and the BBC’s climate editor Justin Rowlatt. Also, writer Dolly Alderton turns into Newscast's agony correspondent to help us navigate worries about the news after a relentless few weeks. Today's Newscast was made by Daniel Wittenberg with Alix Pickles, Madeleine Drury and Miranda Slade. The technical producer was Mike Regaard. The series producer is Tim Walklate.
