Today's program reports on the world wide marches on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and the latest UN climate report, which concludes that CO2 emisions will have to be reduced by 7.6 percent over the next ten years to prevent a temperatura rise of more than 1.5 degrees Celsius.
