Europe's top rights court has ruled that Switzerland did not do enough to tackle climate change. It's the first time the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against a state on the issue. The court ruled in favour of a group of Swiss elderly women, who argued that the inadequacy of their government to combat climate change had put them at risk of dying during heatwaves. The court also agreed that the Swiss government had violated some human rights by missing past targets on emission reductions. Ishan Garg reports from Brussels.
