Fossil fuel backlash puts UN climate talks in jeopardy

BBC World Service - Newsday, Fossil fuel backlash puts UN climate talks in jeopardy

COP28 had appeared close to calling phase-out of fossil fuels until last-minute changes

The COP28 summit had appeared close to calling for a phase-out of fossil fuels until last-minute changes were made.

Coming up - as the global climate change talks enter their final scheduled day, there has been outrage from activists after the latest draft declaration did not call for the phasing-out of fossil fuels; negotiations to revise the agreement are underway.

We also hear how in the absence of a ceasefire, what the primary focus of the United States is as the war between Israel and Hamas continues and the humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens.

And prosecutors investigating former US president Donald Trump have asked the US Supreme Court for a quick ruling on whether he is immune from prosecution for actions he took while in office.
