主播大秀

With the end of the Glasgow UN climate summit in sight, we take stock of progress so far. The 主播大秀's Matt McGrath is in Glasgow, and brings us the latest developments. It's thought that Saudi Arabia may be opposed to any final agreement from the summit that explicitly mentions reducing fossil fuel use, and we further explore the country's possible objections with oil analyst Stephen Schork of the Schork Group. Also in the programme, the 主播大秀's Ed Butler reports on whether Hong Kong's long term future as a global finance hub is sustainable, against the backdrop of the new national security law in the territory, as well as stringent coronavirus quarantine measures. Plus, today is the festival of shopping in China known as Singles Day. We find out why this year seems to be more muted than previously, from Beijing-based freelance journalist Sherry Fei Ju.

Today's edition is presented by Mike Johnson, and produced by Vishala Sri-Pathma and Russell Newlove.
