Newshour - US and Ukraine signal peace plan progress after Geneva talks

Negotiations on a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine are continuing after the United States said progress had been made on Sunday. Moscow says it's not been informed of changes to a draft widely seen as favouring Russia.

Also on the programme: a three year old boy from California suffering from a rare, genetic disorder called Hunter syndrome, has become the first person in the world to be treated with a gene therapy developed in England; and Jimmy Cliff, the musician credited with introducing Jamaican reggae to the world, has died aged 81.

Focus on Africa - Selling body parts for ‘rituals’ in Sierra Leone

A BBC Africa Eye documentary has exposed the practice of selling body parts for magic rituals in Sierra Leone. We speak to the reporter who went back to the town where an 11-year-old boy was murdered as part of a suspected black magic killing four years ago.

Why were two Zimbabwean university students, campaigning during elections for their Students Representative Council, abducted in broad daylight and beaten?

And we hear from African social media influencers aiming to lead the conversations for a borderless and visa free Africa.

An all-star activist panel has been assembled to answer Briahna's questions about the strategy and efficacy of contemporary direct actions. Medea Benjamin, co-founder of feminist anti-war organization code pink, Palestinian activist Hazami Barmada, who staged last week's viral "Thanksgiving" demonstration outside of Union Station in DC featuring demonstrators dressed as Trump, Netanyahu, & other war criminals; and Aru Shiney-Ajay, executive director of the Sunrise Movement, all bring their expertise and courage to the question of how direct action can fill the role historically played by organized labor, and how the left can exploit mass protests to greater effect.

Marketplace All-in-One - What if you got to choose where your tax dollars went?

Americans don’t often have a direct say in how their tax dollars get spent; those decisions are generally left to elected officials. But some places have engaged in “participatory budgeting,” where residents propose projects, then vote on which ones get public funding. Today, we head to Nashville to learn how the process played out. But first: economics at the center of G20 discussions and what Thanksgiving travel plans are looking like.

Marketplace All-in-One - G20 conference wraps up in South Africa

From the BBC World Service: A gathering in South Africa of major economies has ended with a joint declaration committing to "multilateral cooperation." We'll hear more.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Emission creep: a contentious COP closes

It is telling and troubling that the annual climate talking-shop’s outcome did not even mention fossil fuels. We ask whether the COP process is still fit for purpose. Cryptocurrencies could be heading for an almighty fall: what would they take down with them? And the revealing vowels and diphthongs of whale communications. (Hear much more on animal communication in our series on “Babbage”: part 1 asks whether animals truly have language, and part 2 whether AI could translate it.)
