    Greta Thunberg: 'Leaders failed us on climate change'



    Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg has made a passionate speech to world leaders at the UN, accusing them of failing to act on climate change.

    "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words," she told a UN climate summit in New York.

    About 60 world leaders are taking part in the one-day meeting organised by UN Secretary General António Guterres.

    He earlier said countries could only speak at the summit if they came with action plans to cut carbon emissions.

    US President Donald Trump, a climate change sceptic, had not been expected at the meeting - but he was briefly spotted in the audience.

    Took me a long time to admit that we were in decline but took me less time to realise we were all being controlled Turk and honestly had little say or influence in exactly how greedy we all became.

    I seriously gave away everything some 12 years ago and just stumbled into what I am today ... That path taught me a lot about the ratio of time against joy and bliss.

    It takes bravery and luck to smash the wheel but it can be done ... Time is ticking give your Mrs the best quality of life you can mate it’s all that matters ... everything else is a load of bollocks

    For a start, it should be adult politicians, campaigners and scientists sorting out the issues with climate control, instead of relying on a 16 year old schoolgirl to raise awareness of the issue, and it's ****s like Trump, who are in denial, that are a major part of the problem.

    She should be at home in Sweden with her friends instead of giving speeches at the UN, leading global environmental protests and mobilising the youth of the Earth to take a stand against the corporate manslaughter of our planet

    I am afraid it’s not simple maths. Is 9bn net contribution a high price for free trade with the EU ? Most leavers would say exhorbitant but reality is that the financial sector alone could loose more than that (130bn last GDP contribution last year).

    We do not recognise this list.

    People should only trust information from official NHS sources.
    We're doing everything we can to make sure patients receive the medicines they need after Brexit.

    Aid budget may not offer value for money, say MPs

    Ministers have a weak understanding of how funds are spent, a report has foundRoyal Navy
    Much of the £14 billion overseas aid budget could be going to waste because ministers do not know if it represents value for money, MPs have said.
    While the target to spend 0.7 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) has been met, the public accounts committee found that ministers were unclear “what this considerable amount of aid money achieves in practice”.
    One part of the budget, overseen by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, had its funding doubled to more than £700 million “despite a weak understanding of how funds had been spent, where and with what results”, the report found.
    MPs also criticised the Treasury’s assessment of the UK Aid Strategy published in 2015,

    I wouldn’t find that terribly encouraging if I needed one of those to guarantee I woke up tomorrow.

    No one is entirely blaming Brexit. Low consumer confidence and an abysmal exchange rate ain’t exactly going to help a travel agent. Project Fear though.
