Australia pledges to reach net zero emissions by 2050

BBC World Service - Newsday, Australia pledges to reach net zero emissions by 2050

The country is one of the world's most criticised polluters

The Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, made the long-delayed pledge after striking a bargain with resistant MPs within his government.

We're live in Australia which has announced its plan for zero carbon emissions, in the run up to COP26, the big climate conference, but that doesn't mean it'll stop being one of the biggest coal suppliers in the world.

A day on from the coup in Sudan, seven people have been killed and over one hundred have been injured in protests.  We get the latest from the Governor of Darfur who has been suspended from his role and from an activist on the streets of the capital, Khartoum. 

And we head to Ghana where the country's parliament is set to debate a controversial bill that seeks to introduce some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ laws on the African continent.
