BBC在线收听下载:特朗普驳斥美国政府关于气候变化的报告

BBC News with Sue Montgomery.

President Trump has rejected a landmark US government report on climate change. He said he didn't believe climate change would cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars a year by the end of the century. From Los Angeles, James Cook reports.

The sixteen-hundred-page report sets out in detail how a warming climate driven by human activity is already causing deadly chaos, contributing to more frequent and more intense wildfire, storms and droughts. Asked about the report's prediction of economic devastation, Mr. Trump replied, I don't believe it. In response, scientists involved in the report said the world was facing an immediate climate crisis, whether or not the president chose to believe the evidence of his own administration.

Prosecutors in the US say Donald Trump's jailed former campaign chairman Paul Manafort has breached his plea bargain agreement by lying to federal investigators. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who's investigating alleged collusion between Russia and Mr. Trump's presidential campaign, said the breach man there was no reason to delay Mr. Manafort's sentencing hearing. Here is Dan Johnson.

Two months ago, Paul Manafort admitted fraud charges dating back before his involvement with Donald Trump's campaign. But in signing a deal for leniency, he agreed to talk about connections with Russia fully, truthfully, completely and forthrightly in the words of that agreement. Now investigators say that hasn't been his approach in the dozen or so meetings they've had, and therefore he doesn't deserve a reduced sentence. Paul Manafort's lawyers say he believes he's given truthful information in answering investigators' questions, but he now faces years more in prison. And it raises some tantalizing questions: Is there a subject he really doesn't want to talk about? And is there something or someone he fears more than a long jail term.

Mexico has called for a full investigation by the United States into the use of tear gas against hundreds of migrants on the border. They were trying to force the way across in the city of Tijuana on Sunday. Will Grant is there.

The enduring image of this weekend's protest in Tijuana was of a mother running with her frightened children from the plumes of tear gas behind them. Now, Mexico wants to know from the United States how such a situation could have happened. Mexican Foreign Ministry has sent a diplomatic note to Washington over the use of non-lethal weapons, given that the tear gas canisters were fired from the United States into Mexico. The Trump administration claims that the US border patrol agents were acting with reasonable force.
