Schoolchildren demand action on climate change; insects in decline; Harry Potter and the law

The schoolchildren who are missing classes to demand action on climate change.
 
Why insect species are facing catastrophic decline. 

And the Indian law students getting help from Harry Potter.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Manmit Bhambra, a British sociologist and a teacher in Identity Politics at the London School of Economics, and Simon Robinson, regional editor for Europe, Africa and the Middle East at the Reuters news agency.
