LONDON: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday said he was"very worried" that the 12-day COP26 climate summit he will host in Glasgow from later this week"might go wrong".

"I'm very worried because it might go wrong and we might not get the agreements that we need and it's touch and go," Johnson said, as he fielded questions from the youngsters aged eight to 12."It's very, very difficult, but I think it can be done."
