mac climate agenda, us adults a part of republicans backing an ambitious counter by 2030.

for biden�*s climate agenda — majority of us adults and half of republicans — back an ambitious emission cuts by2030 president biden�*s son hunter could go on trial twice next year while his father runs for reelection. the special counsel david weiss filed a second indictment last night. he was charged by a grand jury with nine counts of failing to file and pay taxes, tax evasion and filing false tax returns; three of those charges are felonies, another six are misdemeanors. some of these charges relate to a period when he was struggling with depression and addicted to drugs. but prosecutors allege he exploited the family name to fund a lavish lifestyle, spending funds on hotels, escorts and a porsche. and that even after he was sober and building a new life he failed to fully pay the taxes he owed. it is the second federal indictment. hunter biden also faces charges

stemming from the illegal purchase of a handgun while addicted. republicans are trying to link his behaviour to a possible impeachment against the president. former advisor to the treasury leon emirali now a pr consultant, and the democratic and legal analyst kelly hyman ato a to doctor biden, definitely is political, but we also have to remember that you are innocent proven guilty and just because you're indicted does not mean you have been convicted of a crime. indictment in the us means that based on evidence presented to the grand jury, they believe that serious charges should be brought. ultimately i'll be the prosecution to prove the elements of the crime

and see if the jury comes back with in or guilty. we and see if the “ury comes back with in or guilty.— in or guilty. we have been able to brin: in or guilty. we have been able to bring these _ in or guilty. we have been able to bring these indictments _ in or guilty. we have been able to bring these indictments have - in or guilty. we have been able to bring these indictments have not| bring these indictments have not been the special counsel installed? repeat that, please.— repeat that, please. would he be able to bring _ repeat that, please. would he be able to bring these _ repeat that, please. would he be able to bring these indictments i repeat that, please. would he be i able to bring these indictments had the attorney general not been taking another special counsel? goad another special counsel? good question- _ another special counsel? good question- a — another special counsel? good question. a special _ another special counsel? good question. a special counsel. another special counsel? good l question. a special counsel was another special counsel? (ems. question. a special counsel was done in order to show that there was no bias or anything like that because there are allegations that there was some kind of bias or nothingness brought in from the fact that he was under biden. but this is hunter biden, this is not president biden we have donald trump running for office who has been indicted four times and has some serious charges against him. you have to see how

this plays out in the court of law and hunter biden, politically motivated because of who he is. trading on the family name in that amount of money that he not been the vice president some of the time which i think it's fair enough look at his business acumen and where he was working. but donald trump employed his family and the white house and his daughter went to china to secure trademarks for purity products and his son—in—law secured a $2 billion loan from saudi arabia and there's plenty when you look the other way and the republicans is interested in that?— other way and the republicans is interested in that? hopefully, they would be because _ interested in that? hopefully, they would be because it's _ interested in that? hopefully, they would be because it's important i interested in that? hopefully, they would be because it's important to| would be because it's important to get to the truth and find out that information, especially with trump

being indicted on four different cases and going to trial next year, and i think that is really important to us and we have to remember in the us, a republican mustjust ask by congress due to serious allegations and violations of what he did and hopefully, republicans arejust hopefully, republicans are just disinterested hopefully, republicans arejust disinterested and hunter biden and interested trump as they are interested trump as they are interested in hunter biden. the cases that _ interested in hunter biden. the cases that donald trump is involved in, he is appealing the january six case in washington when jumping double jeopardy case in washington when jumping doublejeopardy which is case in washington when jumping double jeopardy which is already being cleared an impeachment investigation the other being a former president, it is very likely

that looking at the immunity of this, he is the procrastinator who can put anything off and might not even get to a trial by the time of the election. i even get to a trial by the time of the election-— even get to a trial by the time of the election. i am no legal expert but donald _ the election. i am no legal expert but donald trump _ the election. i am no legal expert but donald trumpjustify - the election. i am no legal expert but donald trumpjustify political| but donald trump justify political gravity _ but donald trump justify political gravity in — but donald trump justify political gravity in a way that may be joe biden_ gravity in a way that may be joe biden does not. when you look atjoe biden— biden does not. when you look atjoe biden as _ biden does not. when you look atjoe biden as the claimed candidate, the clean _ biden as the claimed candidate, the clean alternative to donald trump but yet _ clean alternative to donald trump but yet the hunter biden issues are overshadowing that in particular, you think— overshadowing that in particular, you think donald trump is able to leverage — you think donald trump is able to leverage these types of legal indictments coming against him in leverage _ indictments coming against him in leverage against us and say look, it's the _ leverage against us and say look, it's the state after me and if you do not _ it's the state after me and if you do not protect me, they'll come after— do not protect me, they'll come after you — do not protect me, they'll come after you and that's a very compelling but dangerous message to be delivering. but we will hear a lot more — be delivering. but we will hear a lot more of that is because the

days — and the summit president sultan aljaber who is ceo of the uae state oil company, adnoc, has told countries a potentially historic deal is in reach. but there are many parties at the conference who have shared their concerns about how far this deal will go, and how commitments made will be enforced. 2023 is certain to be the warmest year to date largely because of record carbon dioxide emissions but also due to the rising impact of the el nino weather phenomenon. on this the 9th day of the summit, here's our correspondent carl nasman. week two kicking off here in dubai after a very eventful week one. in fact, according to one tally, $57 billion of pledges were made over those first few days. but in talking with the actual negotiators, what they're telling us is that there's still a lot of work that needs to get done. there are many details that have not been agreed upon, including the all—importa nt global stockta ke. now, this is like a climate report card examining the progress of each nation's emissions cuts and then

beginning to assign new or more aggressive ones — that has not yet been agreed upon. there's also another deal on adaptation that is still not finished. so those negotiators will be putting in long days and nights in some of the rooms to my right. now, we did hear some positive comments from cop28 president sultan aljaber earlier saying he thinks that we could see a meaningful deal. but one of the biggest sticking points of all is over the language of a phase "out" of fossil fuels or a phase "down". there are 106 nations who want that phase out. but as we know, it only takes one country to block an entire deal. earlier this week donald trump was asked whether he was likely to rule as a dictator if he is returned to the white house. this is the answer he gave. except for day one. except for day

one. i want to close the border and i want to drill, drill, drill. i'm... he says you're not going to be a dictator or you, no, other than day one. we are closing the border and we are drilling and then after that i'm not a dictator. in fact america is already drilling. and saudi arabia makes cuts, american production, is now at 13.2mn barrels a day, that is an all—time high. and yet look at the polling published today by ssrs in conjunction with cnn. nearly two—thirds of us adults say they are worried about the threat of climate change. more than half are worried about the impact of extreme weather. and a broad majority of us adults ? 73% ? say the federal government should be developing climate policy with the goal of cutting emmissions in half by the end of the decade. by 2030.

former advisor to the treasury leon emirali now a pr consultant, and the democratic and legal why and some of the grass, it is more than half in greenhouse gases should be cut by 2030, 20 2% on is that the singapore and most political decisions? we have to remember that trumpets and climate change is a hoax but according to that poor, and majority of americans support some type of fixing of our climate issue, this is for the future generation, not only does it affect the us but it affects our allies, all of us and we are all in this together that is definitely a key and biden has that he wants to make changes in order to help our environment and this is been doing

if you have not experienced systemic misogyny, you cannot for one moment understand how detrimental some of these conversations are, knowing that anything anyone says just enables an absolute pylon. particularly on social media which, let me be clear, does not take a lot to be able to pile on women. a report has concluded that several former players at essex county cricket club were victims of "racist abuse and discriminatory treatment" during their time at the club. following a series of allegations, an investigation was launched by the county in december 2021. the complaints related to a period from the mid 19905 to 2013 and the report said they reflected a dressing room culture which regarded ethnic, racial and religious comments as "banter" and has made 15 recommendations. the club chairman anu mohindru said "fundamental errors" had been made in the past, which did not reflect "the essex of today." and finally, have a look at this

rather bizarre moment from the snooker shoot out. where kyren wilson played part of his match with, an oven glove on! wilson later said he did it as a bit of fun once the frame was over, after borrowing the glove from the kitchen staff at the arena in swansea. maybe he'll go and cook the team a roast now after it helped him make the next round. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. we've got a couple of areas of low pressure for this weekend. that will bring spells of mild, but also wet weather at times. it will be noticeably mild compared to what we had last weekend. there will be some sunshine around over the weekend. it's not going to be a complete wash—out. and it's going to be windy both days, but particularly late on saturday. this is saturday's low pressure system hurtling through, bringing a band of rain, squeezing the isobars,

bringing those gales. and then sunday's low pressure moves through. not quite as windy on sunday, but still another band of rainfall. you will notice both by day and by night it's going to be very mild for the time of year. now, with more rain falling on already saturated ground, we've already got a number of flood warnings. this is going to exacerbate the issue, and we could see more flood warnings by the end of the weekend. so stay tuned to the forecast. head online if you have any concerns. through tonight, it stays very wet, central and southern scotland. windy for the northern isles, and then here comes the next batch of wet and windy weather pushing into northern ireland, wales, the midlands, southern and south—west england. very mild with it, but generally it's going to be a frost—free night for most. very wet, windy day, certainly morning for saturday, northern ireland, england and wales. the rain becomes confined to central, southern scotland. to the north of it, brighter, sunshine, a few showers. and it brightens up later in the day across england and wales. sunny spells, a few scattered showers, a very mild 1a degrees in the south—east. but the winds will become a feature later in the day on saturday.

widespread gales northern ireland, england and wales, and then there's a risk of gusts of 60—70 mph in northern ireland, particularly so into north—west england and north wales. this could cause some disruption for a time through saturday evening, the first part of the night. as we move through saturday night, the winds remain strong, but ease down somewhat. it stays quite showery across scotland, but we'll see a slot of drier, clearer weather for england, wales and northern ireland for a time on sunday morning. and again largely frost—free. sunday starts off fine, some early sunshine in central and eastern areas, but it won't be long till the next low pressure system moves through to bring wetter and breezier weather. the rain becomes confined to northern and eastern areas, and again we should see a bit of sunshine into the afternoon for england and wales, where we'll see temperatures 10—12 degrees here. it stays unsettled into the start of the new week, on the mild side, but then there's hints of it turning drier as high pressure builds in for the end of the week, with increasing amounts of sunshine. take care.
