Trump : We Are Getting Out From Paris Climate Agreement

President Donald Trump has announced the United States withdrawal from the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.

He added a step to negotiate a new deal which is 'fair' to the US business and workers.

The Paris Climate Agreement in 2015 tied the United States and another 187 countries to keep the global temperature rise in 2 ' C (3.6 F ') and attempt to limit the temperature to 1.5’ C.

Only two countries, Syria and Nicaragua, that did not sign the deal.

When announcing the policy in Rose Garden, White House, on Thursday (01/06), Washington, Trump described the agreement is purposed to harm and impoverish United States.

He argued that the deal will cause US a great loss of domestic product gross as much as $3 trillion and 6.5 million jobs field, while the US economic rivals such as China and India get better treatment. "This withdrawal is needed to protect America and its citizens," he said.

"So we are getting out but will start the negotiation and we will see whether the deal is fair," he added.

During the Presidential campaign last year, Trump said he would take steps to help the oil and coal industries in the United States.

His opponent said that the withdrawal policy is the United States’ deterioration from global challenges.

The previous Secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, requested the President not to break the U.S. commitment, but he also added that the fight against climate change will be continued regardless on any decision that were taken by the Government of Washington.

"Obviously, the decision is very important because the United States is the world largest economy. Besides, it is important that the government should remain on track," he explained to BBC.

Many observer predicted that United States’ withdrawal will make the world difficulty to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement.

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...

Obama administration Issues Transgender Access to School Bathrooms

The issue of directing public schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity is being discussed by the Obama administration on Friday. A joint letter from the Departments of Education and Justice will go out to schools on Friday with guidelines to ensure that "transgender students enjoy a supportive and nondiscriminatory school environment," the Obama administration said on Thursday. The announcement comes amid heated debate over transgender rights in schools and public life, which includes a legal standoff between the administration and North Carolina over its controversial House Bill 2. The guidance goes beyond the bathroom issue, touching upon privacy rights, education records and sex-segregated athletics, all but guaranteeing transgender students the right to identify in school as they choose. "There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on ...

McKay, who has directed Ferrell in films like "Anchorman" and "Step Brothers," told HuffPost Live on Monday that Ferrell's home is brimming with birds of all kinds, and Ferrell himself is a bit of a bird whisperer. "He has giant cages on his property filled with different tropical birds, and these are the kind of birds that will bite you, that you have to be careful with, but when it's him, they just fly right to his arm," McKay said. "Often times if you're at his house ... he has, like, a cockatiel on his shoulder for long stretches." An affinity for birds isn't exactly surprising, but what will shock you is the enormous monetary value of Ferrell's flock. "He had to have his bird collection insured, and I think it's wor...
