 Today's Highlighted Video Story:  An exhibition looking at the legacy of colonialism - and the role it played in the birth of climate change - has opened in London. Eleven artists with a personal connection to Africa, the Caribbean and South America have pinpointed environmental change as a racial process, with deep roots in colonial history. Through this collection of artworks, the overlapping crises of environmental damage and colonialism, are put under scrutiny.
