We hear from some of those taking part in youth climate protests in Glasgow

Thousands of young people have gathered in Glasgow, Scotland, to call for action on climate change. The march has been organised by Fridays for Future, which began in 2018 when Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg and other activists skipped school to protest outside parliament. We'll hear from some of the young people taking part in today's demonstrations to hear their assessments of what the summit has achieved so far.

We'll also get the latest from Ethiopia and the conflict that began over the northern Tigray region. Nine anti-government groups have now announced that they are forming an alliance against the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

And we go through some of the latest coronavirus headlines of the day with the help of our expert, Professor Marc Mendelson from the University of Cape Town.
