2024: A year of extreme weather

We look at the main climate stories in 2024.

It's been a year of rising temperatures and extreme weather events. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's climate editor joins to reflect on the main developments in 2024.

An Indian-made rocket has blasted off from a site north of Chennai, carrying two satellites which will test space-docking. We speak to two experts about the historic space missions this year.

South Korean officials say the design of the runway at Muan Airport may have contributed to the Jeju Air crash which saw the plane hit a concrete structure. We get more details from our regional editor.

And, as we come to the end of the year, we reflect on the big internet moments across the world with two digital culture reporters in the US and Africa.

Presenter: Andrew Peach.
