COP26: Fishing and climate change

BBC World Service - BBC OS, COP26: Fishing and climate change

We’ll hear how fishing communities are affected by climate change in the US and Africa

As part of our climate conversations series, we’ll hear how people who work in the fishing industry are affected by climate change, and bring together a fisherman in the US and a fishing industry expert in South Africa.

We hear from Beirut in Lebanon, where protests against the investigation of the port blast last year got violent. There's been a number of deaths and many people injured in exchanges of gunfire between supporters of the Shia group, Hezbollah, and its allies, and the Lebanese army.

And our regular medical expert, Dr Helen Wimalarathna, a Molecular Epidemiologist at the University of Buckingham in the UK, will answer audience questions on the latest coronavirus stories.

We discuss whether the space tourism is the best use of resources after Prince William suggested that entrepreneurs should focus on saving Earth instead.
