The world agreed to 'transition' away from fossil fuels at the conclusion of the COP28 summit in Dubai. The COP28 President hailed it as 'historic' but many countries, particularly the micro-island states across the world - those at existential risk from climate change - are worried that the deal contains many loopholes that will allow countries to continue pumping and ramping up production of fossil fuels. How will we remember this COP28 - as a historic achievement, or a historic failure at just the moment when we needed wide-spread, robust and ambitious action. The President of COP26 - and Conservative MP - Sir Alok Sharma joins the programme.

The Prime Minister made it through last night's migration vote, but the Opposition now accuse the government of neglecting more pressing issues while being caught up with Rwanda.

The government watches on as MPs gather to vote on their Rwanda migration legislation, as the 'Five Families' of right wing Tory factions confirm they cannot vote for the bill.

The European Research Group of Conservative MP's have spoken. They called on the Prime Minister to pull the Rwanda bill and work on new legislation instead because they think that in it's current form, it does not go far enough. As things stands, they may well vote against the government's bill during the second reading tomorrow. Another section of more centrist Conservative MPs - the One Nation Group - will also decide today whether to vote for the government's bill. They may well accept it in it's current form and their concerns are diametrically opposed to the ERG. The PM is going to have to upset one group, but the big question is who will blink first in this game of parliamentary chicken? And what would a defeat in the commons mean for Rishi Sunak's premiership? Joining to discuss is the Conservative MP and former party Chairman David Davis, the former Attorney General Sir Geoffrey Cox, and the former Deputy Prime Minister Sir David Lidington.

And we'll speak to a man who can fluently speak over 16 languages.

The former Health Secretary appeared before the covid inquiry today after weeks of previous atendees putting much of the government's failures on his doorstep.

And RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch on the end to rail strikes.

Leaders from around the world will descend on Dubai tomorrow for the UN's Climate Summit. But questions linger around the United Arab Emirates as it was reported they planned to use the summit as a way to strike new deals on oil and gas.

There are reports of disagreements within cabinet after last week's eye watering net migration figures - the Home Secretary has warned against seeing the Rwanda policy as the 'be all and end all' as Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick calls for tougher measures to be introduced

Net migration figures for 2022 have been revised upwards - to a record of 745,000 people. Many on the right, including within the Conservative Party, are unhappy with this figure for a variety of reasons. Some suggest this applies pressure to public services such as the NHS and on the availability of housing. Is this an accurate diagnosis of the countries problems? And is it possible for the UK - and perhaps even the Prime Minister's electoral prospects - to sustain these levels of net migration? Conservative MP Miriam Cates and the Shadow Home Secretary and Labour MP Yvette Cooper join to discuss. And an exclusive interview with the former head of MI6 Sir Alex Younger on relations with China, the Israel-Hamas War, and whether he is concerned that the war in the middle east is radicalising young people right here in Britain.

Are the UK and the US becoming a little more isolated on the world stage as many nations, particularly from the Global South, call for a ceasefire in Gaza?

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed that at least 10 British citizens have been killed and 10 more are missing more than one week on from Hamas' brutal attack on Israel

If Israeli Defense Force does go into Gaza to fight Hamas street by street, they will be entering one of the most dangerous types of war zone in the world - a tightly packed, chaotic urban environment, with tunnels below it and a thousand opportunities for ambush. Think of Stalingrad. Think, indeed, of Warsaw.
