a star studded funeral and. why it could soon be summer time all year long in the european union. so the united states said it's cutting all funding to on that's the u.n. agency that supports palestinian refugees this comes a week off to the trump administration cut more than two hundred million dollars and economic aid to palestinian refugees the move for will and decades of financial support that is used for health education food security and other essentials. and the statement the u.s. state department said the administration has carefully reviewed the issue and determined that the united states will not to make additional contributions to under a when we made a u.s. contribution of sixty million dollars in january we made it clear that the united states was no longer willing to shoulder the very disproportionate share of the

burden of on us costs that we had assumed for many years ok let's get more on this now from rob reynolds who is in washington d.c. for us so rob quite a drastic move there what is the u.s. government saying about this and what are they saying are their reasons for this. well it is a drastic move in dollar terms we're talking about three hundred million dollars being cut that's the u.s. contribution to and that represents about thirty percent of the total budget of the u.n. agency you read part of state department spokesperson heather now or its statement there she also said that the u.s. will no longer continue further funding to this irredeemably flawed operation the u.s. says that the that the u.n. agency does not handle money well and is wasteful and things along those lines but there's also

a strategic move here and that's all about the right of return which is a principled in shrine in the u.n. resolutions allowing people including palestinians to who have been displaced by conflict to return including their descendants but what the united states and the really government would like to see is the some five million palestinians who are considered refugees in their considered having that right to return under u.n. resolutions reduced to only about five hundred thousand which would be actually the number of people who are still alive who had to flee from the territories in one thousand nine hundred forty eight when the state of israel was established it's also worth noting that. the jared pushed or the president's son in law and middle east point person said and they were in a. email that was made public earlier this year that there needs to be

a sincere and honest effort to disrupt on raw and rob i understand we've now heard from the palestinians what are they saying about this. that's right to spokesman for palestinian president mahmoud abbas said the u.s. rep decision represents quote a flagrant assault against the palestinian people and a defiance of u.n. resolutions that's a reference to the many resolutions the united nations has passed by large majorities continuing the mandate of an era to work with the palestinian refugees he also added that the u.s. no longer plays a real role in the region and is not part of the solution the palestinian foreign minister riyadh all molecules called on arab nations to step up and provide some of the funding that will now need to be made up after the us decided to cut

those those millions of dollars ok rob reynolds with more on the decision of the u.s. to cut funding to the palestinians thank you for all those details. the u.s. and canada have missed a deadline to revamp the north american free trade agreement talks broke up without a deal although trump says they'll now resume on wednesday in the meantime the white house says it will press ahead with a new trade agreement with mexico so that movie movies canada out in the cold or the foreign minister says she still optimistic a deal can be reached it is going to take flexibility on all sides to get to a deal in the end and what i can speak to is the canadian position and i really want to assure canadians that we're working hard to get a good deal we are confident that a win win win deal is possible and we're always going to stand up for the national

interest and for canadian values. than you like now joins us live from toronto so as the u.s. has been saying they're going to press on with mexico it in that case where does that leave canada. well as the foreign minister says they're going to keep trying talks will resume next week and the deadline that passed this friday was one that affected the u.s. and mexico more than it affected canada president needed to get congressional notification of a new trade deal and mexico's outgoing government wanted to be able to sign this deal before the new government takes office on december first but the canadians do have a lot of negotiation to do a lot of ground to cover the talks had gone on for a year before the u.s. and mexico started talking to each other and i do think that canadians were caught a bit by surprise by the agreement announced by president trump last monday that was mainly between the u.s. and mexico and he's been putting a lot of pressure on the canadians to get involved and to give ground on some of the key issues so they're going to need more time to do that because three days

this week of intense negotiations have not been enough. and then you know our christian. foreign minister has maintained time and time again that these details for these negotiations are not for public consumption is but from what you are getting what are the sticking points these are the points that have really stuck the negotiations between canada and the u.s. all along so between mexico and the u.s. it was to do with the automotive sector mexican workers earning less than u.s. workers and allegedly taking jobs away between canada and the u.s. it's to do with canada's protected agricultural markets mostly the dairy industry american farmers want to sell the canadians milk butter and so on and right at the moment they're not able to sell that much it's heavily restricted and there are high tariff barriers that and dispute resolution canada wants independent arbitrators to resolve disputes with the united states and the united states says no way you have to take us to court or the disputes will not be resolved so right now those are not resolved the problem is going to be that it's hard to see where

the ground lies where the common ground lies we're going to have to wait until next week to see if they can move either side than a lack in toronto for us thank you. russia has blamed kiev for the killing of a moscow backed separatist leader alexander janko in eastern ukraine the prime minister of the self declared donetsk people's republic was killed in a blast at a cafe in the center of the city russia's accused ukraine of assassinating him to unleash a renewed war in eastern ukraine they are calling it an act of international terrorism by care says it had nothing to do with the blast instead blaming separatist infighting rory chalons has more from wasco this is the aftermath of the blast that killed alexander as a car chink or a block in the body can be seen lying on a structure outside the cafe donetsk went into lockdown after the killing with

moscow and the russian backed breakaway republic itself calling this an act of international terrorism the last pictures of go alive were from thursday laying flowers for the donbass born singer years of cubs on who died earlier in the day so how drinker had been the prime minister of done yet since november two thousand and fourteen he was shuffled into the business at a time when attempts were being made to make the war in ukraine's east look less like a foreign operation run from moscow more like a homegrown independence movement as it in the attic native and rebel military commander would fit the bill second it was present both peace summits in minsk and negotiator at the first the d.n.r. representative and signatory had the second three potential theories springs to mind for who might have been behind this killing it could have been ukraine secret service the s.b.u.

perhaps it was separatist infighting or maybe it was moscow doing some extreme housekeeping amongst the rebels. plenty of other separatist commanders have met similar fates like the man with a nod to give the killed last year and motorola who died in two thousand and sixteen but this ukraine analyst thinks one theory of a psychotic is death stands out as the most likely to me it looks like this was an internal operation for the past few weeks and months. has been critical of some of its colleagues other deputies in that so-called d.n.r. armament i.e. control the t.v. station which pretty much humiliated and their colleagues so i think come kind of the writing was on the wall that perhaps his days were numbered moscow and kiev of both accusing each other of having a hand in second because death the most significant yet of the many deaths that have been ongoing feature in this murky war really challenges how to zero mosque or

too late i think that it's easy to say that there's an arbitrary threshold we often talk about the two degrees trying to limit warming to two degrees and in reality if we limited we're going to one point nine degrees celsius global lane you know that would still not be great so see consequences from that but also we go but two degrees there are still certainly benefits to limiting warming to two point five or three degrees this report is looking at what would happen in a four to seven degree warming increase scenario so that we have business as usual without taking climate action but they found that if we limited climate change to the levels that we would see under the contours of the two thousand and fifteen paris agreement then and now and those changes would decrease would be substantial would go about sixty percent reduction to forty five percent and so we need to take action now we're certainly going to see climate change happen it's happening it's going to continue to happen but we have the power by acting now to limit demand to
