Scientists have released a 'survival guide' to avert climate disaster

Scientists have released a 'survival guide' to avert climate disaster.

At least one person has been shot dead as police crack down on demonstrators in Kenya's capital, Nairobi. Ferdinand Omondi joins the show from Nairobi to explain more.

Andy Verity, our Economics Reporter joins us to explain what's been happening with two European banks: UBS and Credit Suisse. Credit Suisse was bought by rival UBS in a Swiss government-backed deal on Sunday. It follows worries about the global financial system after two smaller US banks failed in recent weeks.

Kerry Allen is our China Media Analyst and joins us in the studio as China's President Xi Jinping is in Moscow for a two-day visit and talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
