New climate agreement to make shipping more environmentally friendly was postponed by a year after failing to reach consensus amid U.S. pressure. Representatives from most of the 176 member states of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which governs global seafaring, are at its headquarters in London.

Also we head to South Africa where gambling has become one of the country’s fastest-growing industries - but at what cost?

And have you heard of Singles Day? It China's biggest online shopping event and this year it's come early in a bid to get consumers to spend more cash.
