Spain's Tagus river is drying up

Description

As world leaders discuss climate change in Paris, we bring you a report from Spain, which has been in the grip of drought since 2014.

Drought, inadequate water management and pollution are threatening the future of the river, as Mélina Huet and Sarah Morris report.
