Hope For 'Decent' Climate Talks Outcome

A deal at global climate talks in Poland looks more likely after a new draft was released.

A deal at global climate talks in Poland looks more likely after a new draft was released. Frank Jordans is a reporter for the Associated Press at the talks in Katowice, and fills us in on the latest developments. And the environmental campaigner George Monbiot considers the future for environmental policy in France, after President Macron cancelled a proposed fuel tax rise in response to the 'yellow vest' protests in Paris over recent weekends. Also in the programme, Maria McKavanagh, chief operating officer of the smart hub firm Verv tells us what the potential is for these devices, which allow you to control heating, lights and other appliances from a smartphone. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business headlines with Jessica Dye of the Financial Times in New York, and Dani Burger of Bloomberg in London.
