Paris Climate Conference

Negotiators at the climate talks have given themselves another day to come up with a deal to curb global warming. As the pressure mounts, the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says whilst there are still some outstanding issues, he's confident that an "ambitious" agreement can be reached. FM4's Chris Cummins, reporting from the talks, gives us a progress report:

Should the corporate world have a place at the climate negotiations in Paris ?We talk to the Corporate Europe Observatory who'd rather some sponsors weren't given a platform.

Donald Trump and the opinion polls

Donald Trump's incendiary opinions about Muslims have caused widespread outrage - both abroad and in the US. A Wall Street Journal/ NBC poll suggests 57 percent are opposed to his call for a ban on Muslims entering the US. But why do some Americans support his views ? We talk to the Public Religion Research Institute about their findings.

Syria opposition talks

As diplomatic efforts continue in a bid to find a way out of Syria's war, getting the country's fragmented opposition behind a single agenda has always been a challenge. So how far can a meeting gathering more than 100 representatives of opposition parties and rebel groups go in achieving a united front?

IS and stolen art

The debate over how to cut off the sources of revenue for so-called Islamic State has so far focused on the income it makes from the oil fields under their control. But the extremist group has also been involved in looting art and there've been calls for tougher rules on imports of art works as part of efforts to dry up this source of financing. We talk to Art Recovery International about the process of identifying and overseeing the recovery of stolen cultural property.
