COP26: Civil disobedience
Three people explain why they take part in civil disobedience to fight climate change
As the international climate summit, COP26, approaches, we speak to climate activists who use direct action and civil disobedience to make their point. We ask how they justify their actions and what they say to those who argue that it鈥檚 counterproductive to the cause.
We鈥檒l bring you the latest information from Sudan, where protesters have continued to march and block streets after Monday鈥檚 military takeover. We鈥檒l play you some of the messages we鈥檝e been receiving from people who are there and describe the images and footage they鈥檙e also sharing.
We鈥檒l answer your questions on Covid-19 and talk through the latest news with one of our regular experts, Dr Maria Sundaram in Wisconsin. We鈥檒l reflect the discussion in the United States after the FDA decision to approve the Pfizer vaccine for 5 to 11 year olds.
