COP 30 delegates from around the world are set to leave the Amazon city of Belem, Brazil. But not before very important documents are drafted. Camilla Born, former advisor to Cop 26 President Alok Sharma, talks to Tom Whipple about the scientific significance of the language chosen by negotiators. And it’s the day before The Ashes. As the England men’s cricket team take on their Australian counterparts in Perth, cricket fans from both sides will be hoping for sporting records to fall. But is it less and less likely that these records will be broken? And can some mathematics explain everything? Tom asks Kit Yates, author and professor of mathematical biology and public engagement at the University of Bath. Plus, science presenter Caroline Steel is in studio to discuss this week’s brand new science discoveries.
