Good morning. The BBC has been thrown into turmoil after allegations of bias in the broadcaster’s coverage. More on that below, plus what to expect from COP30 talks and the G20 summit. Let’s get to it.

The latest: The BBC’s director-general and the head of its news division resigned yesterday over allegations of bias including coverage of U.S. President Donald Trump, the war in Gaza as well as race and gender issues.
 
 

The Context: The British broadcaster has been under growing pressure after a leaked internal memo written by Michael Prescott, a former adviser to the BBC’s standards committee, raised a number of issues about the corporation’s news coverage. The memo alleged that a speech Trump gave on Jan. 6, 2021, had been edited to show that he incited a crowd at a rally near the White House to violence.
 
 

What’s next: The BBC’s chair, Samir Shah, is expected to issue an apology to a parliamentary committee on Monday for the Panorama program.

The latest: This year, Brazil hosts the 30th Conference of the Parties who signed the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. COP30 marks the 10th anniversary of the landmark Paris Agreement, and leaders will face questions about whether the deal is working.
 
 

What’s next: Canadian climate negotiators are headed to Brazil for the next two weeks as leaders gather for the annual United Nations climate talks.
 
 

What else: On the river leading to COP30’s host city, Brazilians fret over the environmental cost of blowing up the landscape for agribusiness.

The latest: Spiritually, musically and flannelly, Neil Young is Canadian through and through. For his birthday, Brad Wheeler wrote a profile on the musician, and while the people he spoke to for this story are glad he came home, they also feel he never completely left. “Canada means something to him, there’s no question about that,” his brother told The Globe. “I think nostalgic is a reasonable adjective to describe him.”
 
 

What’s next: On Nov. 12, a host of Canadian artists including Jim Cuddy and Sarah Harmer will celebrate the Ontario native’s birthday at Toronto’s Massey Hall.
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

The latest: Donald Trump’s announcement of a full-scale U.S. boycott of next week’s G20 summit in Johannesburg has gone largely ignored, after a rambling speech in which the U.S. President appeared to mix up South Africa and South America. “For generations, Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa,” he said in the speech, seeming to refer to a large community of exiles from Cuba.

 
 

What’s next: South Africa is scheduled to hand the rotating G20 presidency to the United States at the end of the Nov. 22-23 summit. Trump has said he will hold the summit at one of his golf resorts near Miami next year, but there might not be anyone from America in attendance to receive the handover.
