| Donald Trump will not move US embassy to Jerusalem 'for now' Posted: 01 Jun 2017 12:19 PM PDT  US President Donald Trump has signed a waiver allowing him to delay any decision on moving the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem - but his administration has said the move will go ahead. A statement issued by the White House on Thursday, however, said that the president still intends to relocate the US' diplomatic seat in the country, and that the move was a question of "when not if". The controversial election campaign promise was condemned by most of the international community, as well as Palestinians and liberal Israeli circles, which view Israel's annexation of the east side of the city as illegal.

| Russia backs the Paris agreement on climate change as Donald Trump set to announce US decision Posted: 01 Jun 2017 10:23 AM PDT  The Russian Government has said it supports the Paris Agreement on climate change ahead of Donald Trump's expected announcement that he will withdraw the US from the landmark accord. The Kremlin also said the deal, which seeks to limit global warming to as close to 1.5 degrees Celsius as possible, would be less effective without the participation of major countries, Reuters reported. Several news media in the US have reported that Mr Trump plans to ditch the Paris Agreement, which Barack Obama suggested might one day become viewed as the moment "we finally decided to save the planet".

| One map tells you all you need to know about Trump's possible withdrawal from the Paris Agreement Posted: 01 Jun 2017 09:29 AM PDT  Should President Donald Trump announce as expected on Thursday that he is withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Agreement on climate change, it'll leave the country in a small group of strange bedfellows. There are only two other countries that rejected the Paris Agreement: Nicaragua and Syria. And, considering that Nicaragua didn't join because its diplomats felt the agreement doesn't go far enough toward slowing global warming, it means that, on this, the U.S. is most closely aligned with Syria, which is in the midst of a bloody civil war. SEE ALSO: Here's why you shouldn't totally despair if the U.S. ditches the Paris Climate Agreement This bizarre alliance shows just how widespread the consensus view on this voluntary agreement is. North Korea's government has even signed the deal, and Russia has too, although it has yet to formally ratify it. Image: bob al-greene/mashableThe Paris Agreement is viewed as the last, best chance to rein in emissions of global warming pollutants such as carbon dioxide and methane, which come from burning fossil fuels for energy, as well as deforestation and other human activities. The Paris Agreement, which entered force in 2016 with unprecedented global support, calls for countries to cut their emissions of greenhouse gases in accordance with voluntary targets. The aim is to forestal dangerous climate change, which the agreement defines as keeping global warming to "well below" 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, above preindustrial levels. The amount of carbon dioxide in the air is currently at its highest level in all of human history, causing global temperatures to increase, ice caps to melt, sea levels to rise, and making certain extreme weather events more common and severe. Last year was Earth's warmest on record since 1880, beating the previous two benchmarks set in 2015 and 2014, respectively. Carbon dioxide levels in the air in 2017, compared to the past 800,000 years.Image: scripps institution of oceanographyIn the wake of a U.S. pullout from Paris, the key players in making sure the world still makes progress in addressing the unfolding challenge will be Europe, China, and India. China is poised to become a global renewable energy powerhouse, and there is already talk of a European Union alliance with China to move climate negotiations forward without the U.S. Should the U.S. leave the agreement completely, as expected based on numerous news reports citing White House sources, the country would go from the world leader on climate action to its most high profile climate deadbeat. China is the world's top emitter of greenhouse gases, but the U.S. sits at number two, and occupies the top spot for historical emissions since the start of the industrial revolution. In other words, a U.S. withdrawal means that the country that is most responsible for causing modern-day global warming will be doing the least to address it.

| Israeli rule 'key cause' of Palestinian hardship: UN Posted: 01 Jun 2017 06:48 AM PDT  Fifty years after Israel occupied the Palestinian territories, its policies in the West Bank and Gaza are at the root of Palestinian hardship, the United Nations said Wednesday. "Occupation policies and practices remain the key cause of humanitarian needs in the occupied Palestinian territories," the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a report. West Bank and Gaza residents suffer from a lack of basic security, it said, adding that the split between president Mahmud Abbas's West Bank-based administration and the rival Islamist movement Hamas in Gaza also restricts humanitarian work.
