Factory fire in Delhi kills more than 40 people

A factory fire in the Indian capital Delhi has killed more than 40 people.

Indian police say more than 40 people have been killed in a huge factory fire in the capital Delhi. The blaze broke out in a six-storey building in the city's old quarter in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Also on the programme: the efforts to get richer countries to pay for the environmental damage caused by climate change; and why Saudi Arabia may have been so keen to host a major world heavyweight boxing contest.
