Malawian students bring powerful climate message to British school children

The Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg has been speaking to world leaders at the UN, accusing them of failing to act on climate change.

About 60 world leaders are taking part in the one-day meeting in New York organised by UN Secretary General AntΓ³nio Guterres.

While for some global warming is still a theoretical concern, Jessie Nkhoma and Isaac Mzembe from Chilanga Community Day Secondary School in Kasungu, Malawi, are already feeling the impact in their daily lives.

They've travelled to the UK with their headteacher Mervin Chilongo on the invitation of Oxfam - in order to speak to British schoolchildren about the impact of climate change.
