Poland-Belarus border crisis: Migrants remain stranded
Several thousand people are trapped in the area in freezing temperatures
We鈥檒l return to the border between Belarus and Poland, after another night in which Poland says there were 鈥渕any attempts鈥 to cross by the several thousand people, mostly from the Middle East, who are stranded there. We hear from a surgeon helping those who make it into Poland, as calls intensify for aid workers to be given greater access to the state of emergency zone on the Polish side of the border.
Also, as negotiations continue at COP26 on how the world should face the challenge of reducing global emissions, we connect to farmers around the world to find out how they are dealing with the effects of climate change and reducing their impact.
And we go through some of the main coronavirus headlines of the day with the help of our health expert. Today it's the turn of Dr Maria Sundaram, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Marshfield Clinic Research Institute in Wisconsin.
