Could a plant-based diet fight climate change?

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Could a plant-based diet fight climate change?

A new UN report says high consumption of meat is fuelling global warming

UN experts say that switching to a plant-based diet can help fight climate change. But what do people who work in the restaurant and food industry think? We hear from two chefs.

Also, security forces in the central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan have stormed the home of former President Atambayev and detained him. Our reporter from BBC Kyrgyz tells us more.

And we speak to BBC's Nick Beake who has been in Hong Kong covering the recent protests.
