COP28 summit approves deal on transition away from fossil fuels
An important agreement has been reached at the UN Climate Summit in Dubai.

The summit was extended by an extra day because of disagreements on the proposed wording on the future use of oil and gas.

From the summit, Reagan Des Vignes reports.
