Joe Biden turns 80 today as critics say he's too old to run for president again

Joe Biden turns 80 today as critics say he's too old to run for president again.

President Biden turns 80 today with critics saying he's too old to run again.  We speak to another octogenarian about working in her 80s.

Also, delegates at the UN climate conference in Egypt have reached a deal on giving money to poorer countries for the loss and damage caused by global warming.  

Plus, we hear from Fiji's ambassador to the UN to get reaction from one of the island nations badly affected by climate change.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Ece Temelkuran, a Turkish journalist and author, now living in Hamburg, Germany, and Mark Kersten, assistant professor of human rights, law and international justice at the University of the Fraser Valley, in Canada, and a Senior Consultant at the Wayamo Foundation.
