Youth activists take part in UN climate summit
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said it’s now "crunch time" for negotiators at the COP27 climate summit. We hear from a young climate activist from Pakistan who's spent the last two weeks taking part in the climate conference in Egypt. And, internal chaos at Twitter headquarters has international implications. Recent layoffs and resignations at the social media giant have left it potentially understaffed. Also, Qatar has reversed its decision to sell beer at World Cup stadium sites. But it comes just days before the start of the World Cup tournament, and after a decade of setting expectations that alcohol would be permitted. Plus, what happens when you feed cows hemp laden with THC? German scientists want to know.
