Bongani Bingwa joins Adam Gilchrist for a look at the biggest global stories shaping the day. First, as COP30 begins in Belém, world leaders have turned up the heat on US President Donald Trump, who’s been accused of “lying” about climate science by the presidents of Colombia and Chile. With the UK’s Sir Keir Starmer lamenting the collapse of political consensus on climate action, negotiations are set to focus on securing new funding for forest protection and adaptation. In Germany, a chilling courtroom verdict has shocked the nation — a palliative nurse has been sentenced to life for murdering 10 patients and attempting to kill 27 others, using lethal injections to lighten his workload. And finally, language meets technology as Collins Dictionary names “vibe coding” the Word of the Year for 2025 — a nod to the rise of AI tools that transform natural language into working computer code, capturing the “vibe” of an increasingly automated era.

702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.
