COP26: Private capital vow to fund carbon cuts

BBC World Service - Newsday, COP26: Private capital vow to fund carbon cuts

Some of the biggest banks, insurers and pension funds pledge to fund carbon cutting plans

Hundreds of the world’s biggest banks, insurers and pension funds promised to channel the trillions of dollars they control towards cutting carbon emissions.

At COP26 in Glasgow it's finance day at the climate conference: After the grand promises of the world leaders attending, it is now down to delegates to get down to the fundamental questions of how to pay for those ambitions to limit global warming. We get a reminder - from Bangladesh - of how changes in climate are making some people's lives un-liveable.

We have news of a big election in the US state of Virginia, seen as an indicator of President Biden's popularity.

And X-ray cars that could see pedestrians round corners and through buildings with their magic X-ray eyes. It is not a joke, it is possible and we hear how it could make us all safer.
