Charities slam COP29 deal

They've warned that the $300bn pledge does not go far enough.

Various charities have warned that the $300bn pledge does not go far enough to help those most vulnerable to climate change. We hear from Graham Gordon, the Head of Advocacy for Christian Aid.

Also on the programme: The French foreign minister has said 'there are no red lines' when it comes to western military support for Ukraine; and we hear from Siyabonga Mthembu, lead vocalist of the South African band the Brother Moves On, who will be performing at the London Jazz Festival which marks 30 years of post-apartheid democracy in South Africa.

Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss these stories and more are Catherine Bernard, professor of European Union law at the University of Cambridge, and John Lentaigne, head of credit & political risks at Tysers insurance brokerage in London.
