Shell shareholders have backed a plan to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. We ask Charlie Kronick of Greenpeace whether this goes far enough in tackling climate change targets.
We get an update from India, where one of the most powerful cyclones in decades has killed more than twenty people, and disrupted vaccine centres in Mumbai and power supplies in hospitals.

Jamie Robertson is joined throughout the programme by Ann Dwyer, editor of Crain's Chicago Business, and by Jyoti Malhotra, editor of national and strategic affairs at The Print website in New Delhi.
