(Global Edition) From the BBC World Service … A new report on climate change says 2.5 percent of global GDP needs to be spent each year for two decades to stop global warming. We hear from the co-chair of the International Panel on Climate Change. Then, Brazil’s voters handed a previously fringe candidate nearly half the vote in Sunday’s election, but he’ll face a runoff election at the end of the month after failing to secure a majority. What does that mean for a country facing continued economic hardship? After, we’ll take you to Sulewesi in Indonesia where schoolchildren are heading back to the classroom after a catastrophic tsunami and earthquake killed at least 1,900 people.
