    How can we talk climate problems without India, China and Russia? We are discussing moneys and reparation’s and solutions for affected countries. This is unproductive and unfair for both the West and affected countries. So sad, no answers or problems can be solved without these key player’s.

    Perhaps the G20 , expecially if Africa is accepted into the group, would be more productive and acceptable.

  • Good source of news

    Bu the a few too many episodes per day. One or max two per day would be sufficient to cover the news without overwhelming the feed

  • Sound Quality

    Very challenging sound mixing. It would be great if they could figure out how to better stabilize and integrate different audio clips and audio across different journalists sound recordants . It’s really difficult to hear things clearly as they move across the show

    Could be a little livelier but I appreciate the focus on America-Africa relationships. It gets the job done
