Hello, I am Neil Nunes with the BBC News. France aims to reinvigorate international efforts to tackle globle warming as a summit to get underway in the French capital.

Here is Jaru Shabi. When more than 190 countries signed the Paris climate accord, it was hailed as a historic pact. A hundred billion dollars a year would to be set aside by 2020. Much of it to help developing country make the switch from harmful fossil fuels. But they've been struggling to raise that and president Trump's decision to withdraw from the agreement has cast doubt on the whole process. President Macron restress that the money targets need to be met and he says he will not renegotiate the agreement.

Well, the UK hopes for a bilateral trade deal with the US after Brexit. President Trump has repeatedly displayed protectionist instincts. A spokesperson for the US Treasury said the department appreciated the Finance ministers' views.
