Powers meeting at the g20 summit in rome discuss more vaccines to pork countries and talking about iran returning to the 2050 nuclear deal. we look now at the outstanding issues to be discussed in rome. what will we focus on? the climate issue and vaccine issues and the fact that the richer countries are falling short in the commitments to provide 100 million dollars per year to poorer countries to fight climate change and transition to a greener economy. plenty to talk about for the second day ...

The g20 summit in rome — and has this assessment of the draft final communique that the leaders of the worlds biggest economy are set to approve later this afternoon. we are getting a draught final communique that is making the rounds here. it could still be tweaked, of course, in the couple of hours to come, but its pretty long, i have to say. so the fruit of several months�* work. on the climate issue, let me just give you headlines. the g20 leaders are saying that they have agreed to purs...

What would you say this morning? i would say they are about the same. id say theyre about the same. look at that. borisjohnson hopes he will make history, brokering an agreement to slow down the warming of the planet. it is the metaphor. either cop26 succeeds or the dark ages, that is what im saying. but hes trying to corral many dozens of countries. there is certainly no one emperor that can rule supreme. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, rome. 6orgeous pictures there from the colosseum. i suppose bo...

Focused on the climate and that issue, perhaps an agreement will be rather tougher for these leaders to reach because a draft communiqu seen by some news agencies shows that even though leaders will aim to have a cap of the global warming at 1.5 degrees, they will largely avoid firm commitments. and language too seems to have been watered down rather from what we had hoped and what leaders had hoped, talking about meaningful and effective actions to try to achieve net zero carbon emissions rathe...

Actions to try to achieve net zero carbon emissions — rather than immediate actions. so that gives you an immediate sense of the tough talks on the climate issue that are ahead. one of the issues that the 620 has brought to the fore is the chance to reembrace multilateralism, and for some of these 620 leaders to meetjoe biden, the us president, who is attending his first in—person 620 summit, and our north america editor has been following all the days events. good to go, and with that thumb...

Affordable care act, the affordable care act has been expanded of course to make it stronger but also to include the people who were not covered in the states that did not expand medicaid. we dont expand medicaid, we expanded the affordable care act to enable those folks to have access to affordable care. if that were the only thing we were doing in this legislation it would be transformational. its transformative and cause for celebration. so on the house side, there are many aspects to it but ...
