David Walliams, the comedian and author, has been in the news for his legal battle to block allegations of sexual misconduct. He is accused of targeting girls as young as 15, with multiple women coming forward with similar claims. Walliams has denied these allegations, stating, "I am not a sexual predator," but admitted to "behaving thoughtlessly towards other people."
Adam Fleming is joined by Dominic Casciani (home and legal affairs correspondent) and Noor Nanji (culture and royal correspondent) to discuss the story.
Additionally, with the ongoing UN Climate Summit (COP31) in Turkey, Justin Rowlatt (climate editor) is in the studio to shed light on the approaches countries are taking towards climate change.
