BBC World Service - Newshour, UN chief demands action on climate change

Antonio Guterres called for fossil fuels to be phased out and adverts about them banned

Antonio Guterres called for fossil fuels to be phased out and adverts about them banned.

The UN Secretary General has called for immediate action to tackle climate change, including phasing out fossil fuels, banning ads about them, and imposing windfall taxes on energy companies. Antonio Guterres described fossil fuel firms as the godfathers of climate chaos, raking in profits while the planet burned.
 
Also in the programme: Narendra Modi is on course for a third term as India's prime minister, with his BJP securing the backing of allied parties to form a new coalition government; and how much impact do the blue lights from our phones and tablet screens actually have on our sleep.
