for his predecessor, benedict xvi, who he says is very ill. the vatican says benedict's condition has worsened in recent hours. and britain is on course to record its warmest year ever, after a summer of heatwaves, wildfires and drought. we'll speak to a climate change specialist. hello, welcome to the programme. we start with the fallout from the announcement that china's borders will be reopened next month. in the last hour, the us announced it would require negative covid tests for travellers from china from the 5th of january. that follows tighter measures outlined by italy, japa...
