BBC World Service - BBC OS, COP26: Marshall Islands

We hear about the effects of sea level rise in Marshall Islands

One of the countries where climate change is likely to have the most dramatic impact is the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. We speak to Senator Hilda Heine who was President of the Marshall Islands until last year. She speaks about life and the results of climate change she is seeing on the islands.

We'll hear about the discussion in the UK surrounding politicians security, sparked by the killing of the British MP David Amess. We'll also speak to our disinformation reporter about a BBC investigation into the rise of online abuse against women -- it has revealed that social media companies are failing to act when abuse is reported.

Facebook has announced it's going to hire 10,000 people in Europe to develop the "metaverse". We'll explain what exactly metaverse is. 

Professor Manfred Green, a medical doctor and professor of epidemiology in the school of public health at the University of Haifa in Israel will answer your questions on the latest coronavirus stories
