Oil and gas are a 'gift of God', says COP29 host
BAKU — The president of COP29’s host country has told the UN climate conference that oil and gas are a "gift of God".Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev criticized "Western fake news" about the country's emissions and said nations "should not be blamed" for having fossil fuel reserves.The country plans to expand gas production by up to a third over the next decade.Shortly afterward, UN chief António Guterres told the conference that doubling down on the use of fossil fuels was "absurd".He said the "clean energy revolution" had arrived and that no government could stop it.Separately, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer pledged further reductions on emissions, saying the UK will now aim for an 81% decrease by 2035. The UK called...

Surge in Russian drone strikes test Ukrainian defenses and devastate families
KYIV — Maria Troyanivska had come home early the night a Russian drone hit her bedroom.“It flew in through the window, right into her room,” her mother Viktoria tells the BBC. After the explosion, she and her husband Volodymyr ran from the next room to find their daughter’s room on fire.“We tried to put it out, but everything was burning so strongly,” she says through tears. “It was impossible to breathe – we had to leave.”The Russian Shahed drone killed the 14-year-old in her bed, in her suburban apartment in Kyiv, last month.“She died immediately, and then burned,” her mother said. “We had to bury her in a closed coffin. She had no chance of surviving.”Russia is massively increasing drone strikes on Ukraine. More than 2,000 were launched in October, according to...

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby
Archbishop of Canterbury resigns over Church abuse scandal
LONDON — The Archbishop of Canterbury has announced he will step down from his role following a damning report into a prolific child abuser associated with the Church of England.The review found that Justin Welby, 68, "could and should" have reported John Smyth's abuse of boys and young men to police in 2013.In a statement, Welby said that "it is very clear that I must take personal and institutional responsibility" for his response after he was first told about the abuse."I believe that stepping aside is in the best interests of the Church of England.""I hope this decision makes clear how seriously the Church of England understands the need for change and our profound commitment to creating a safer church."As I step down I do so in sorrow with...

Justin Welby said he should have more rigorously followed up the details of John Smyth's abuse in 2013
Archbishop of Canterbury faces calls to resign over church child abuse failings
LONDON — The Archbishop of Canterbury, the most senior cleric in the Church of England, is under mounting pressure to resign after a damning report accused him of failing to take sufficient action against a sadistic child abuser.A review of the church’s handling of “horrific” abuse perpetrated by John Smyth has put Archbishop Justin Welby’s position in doubt after it found that he “held a personal and moral responsibility to pursue this (case) further” once aware of it, while a cover-up had been perpetrated by the church hierarchy who knew “at the highest level, about the abuse.”Now, three members of the Church of England’s governing body, the General Synod, have started a petition calling for Welby to stand down immediately.As well as heading the Church of England, the...

Donald Trump at a rally
Climate fight 'bigger than one election', says Biden’s top envoy
BAKU — The US will still continue fighting climate change and curbing its emissions of planet-warming gases despite the election of Donald Trump, the US special envoy told the COP29 conference on its opening day.John Podesta, a Biden administration appointee, labeled the incoming president a climate denier and said he would dismantle environmental safeguards.But in a sign of some early progress, country representatives struck an agreement over a long-standing sticking point in international climate negotiations.The move could allow richer countries to make up for some of their atmosphere-heating pollution by investing in clean energy projects or forests in developing nations.The election of Trump last week was a worrying development for action on climate change, at least in the short...
