BBC World Service - Newsday, UN: Climate pledges won't be met with planned fossil fuel extraction

Plans by major coal, oil, gas producers are seriously out of step with emissions, says UN

The UNEP Production Gap Report says more than double the levels needed to keep the 1.5C threshold alive will be drilled or mined in that time.

The UN says plans by governments to continue to extract fossil fuels up to 2030 are incompatible with keeping global temperatures to safe levels. We hear from a NASA climate scientist. 

A new report says many European countries returning Syrian refugees are sending them back to face torture and even death. We speak to its author. 

And we have the latest on the kidnapping at the week-end of missionaries and their families in Haiti.
