'Co-operate or perish' on climate - UN chief

UN chief Ant贸nio Guterres has warned world leaders gathered in Egypt that humanity must "co-operate or perish" over climate change.

The UN' secretary-general Ant贸nio Guterres has warned world leaders gathered in Egypt that humanity must "co-operate or perish" when it comes to climate change.

The UN says progress on cutting the emissions that cause global warming has been "woefully inadequate" since COP26 in Glasgow last year. A Ugandan activist tells this programme that richer, more polluting, states must help poorer countries badly affected by climate change.

Also in the programme: New western missile defence systems sent to Ukraine - but how effective will they be against Russian missiles? And as Elon Musk takes over Twitter, alternatives to the platform see a surge in popularity.
