copernicus estimates that if current trends continue, as this graph shows, by 2034 the world will beolution. global leaders meeting at this summit and later at cop26 are being urged to redouble their efforts to stay below this limit. we will talk much more about the climate and how to cut emissions and what this summit might achieve. irate what this summit might achieve. we will talk about that after two o'clock. india has registered around 315,000 new cases of coronavirus in the past 2a hours. the state of maharashtra accounts for about a fifth of all cases. as the second wave batters india, hospitals are running out of oxygen. the bbc�*s mayuresh konnur reports?from mumbai. the state of maharashtra is recording the highest number of coronavirus cases in india. hospitals are running out of oxygen and some are telling patients to source their own supply. this bbcjournalist went to this with his father. translation: when the hospital ran out of oxygen, i brought two cylinders from a nearby government covid centre. i tried to get to cylinders from the local municipality. we saw a van c
