BBC World Service - Newshour, New US emissions target for a 'decisive decade'

President Biden says the US will halve its emissions by the end of the decade

President Biden has opened a major global climate summit by committing the US to halving its emissions by 2030.

President Biden opens the most important global climate conference for six years, pledging a greater cut in US carbon emissions and appealing to other leaders for decisive action. 

Also in the programme: We've got a rare interview with the governing BJP in India on a Covid crisis getting worse by the day; and should solitary confinement in prisons be legal?
