Another day, another high level resignation at the white house. A day after President Trump named a pick for his new chief of staff, he hopped on to twitter to announce the resignation of his interior secretary. Ryan zinke has faced multiple ethics investigations and was reportedly under pressure to step down. The Washington Post reports he was given an ultimatum to either leave by the end of the year or to be fired. Zinke joins a long list of top officials to leave the administration. You see the list of names and faces there, all people who have been shown the door. His exit comes as democrats are set to gain control of the House Committee on Natural Resources in charge of oversight of the interior. Cnns Boris Sanchez picks it up from here. Reporter we can tell you the white house was closely watching ryan zinkes departure. Hes been accused of misusing Agency Resources to advance his own personal finances. There are more than 15 different inquiries opened by the inspector general. Questions about his lavish spending on travel, whether his wife was using government vehicles, his involvement in a casino deal in connecticut and one thats being investigated by the department of justice. This land deal that he struck in his home state of montana with the head of halliburton. Zinke has denied all of the allegations against him n. A tweet he justifies his departure by saying he didnt want to spend thousands of dollars to clear his name. The minority leader in the senate, Chuck Schumer wrote on twitter, quote, ryan zinke was one of the most toxic members of the cabinet in the way he treated our environment, publish precious lands and the way he treated the government like it was his personal honey pot. The swamp will be less foul without him. Friday night President Trump greeted many at his brpresident l ball. They wanted to put distance between them. Boris sanchez, cnn at the white house. Boris, thank you. It is important to point out obamacare is still the law of the land despite a federal judge striking it down as unconstitutional. On friday the deadline to sign up for the aca, the Affordable Care act, has now expired except for a handful of states where the deadline is january 31st. President trump welcomed the judges controversial decision. Listen. I believe were going to get really good health care. Exciting things happened over the last 24 hours. If everybody is smart because we have a lot of democrats here tonight, im very happy about that. People dont realize i have a lot of friends who are democrats. And we have democrats here, and if the republicans and the democrats get together, we are going to end up with Incredible Health care, which is the way it should have been from day one. And its going to happen. The current president there. And we also heard from the former president , barack obama, who is quick to reassure americans that their health care was not going away because of this ruling. Mr. Obama posted a lengthy response on social media that you see right there telling those who depend on obamacare that the judges decision, quote, changes nothing for now. Lets talk more about this with inderge parmar. Always a pleasure. Thank you. Lets start with obamacare. This law struck down by a federal judge. That law has been struck in the kneecaps plenty. Politically does this this new law put the law into peril with democrats in a stronger position to campaign or republicans, are they energized here with, you know, happy to see this law now teetering on the brink of oblivion . I think this particular decision and the entire politics of the Health Care Act is really deeply symbolic for President Trump and for the gop more broadly. Theyve seen it as the kind of symbol of obama and what obama stood for. They weaved a rhetoric that obama, the liberal obama, africanamerican has kind of brought america to its knees, sold america and liberalism has basically brought america down. Theyve sought to chip away, destroyed that. Theyve appealed to that symbolic level. This has given a lot of people coverage. I think the president and the gop is not trusted by americans. In a way, its having an opposite effect. Its galvanizing americans against trump. Americans dont trust the gop or President Trump with their health care. I think this is going to boomerang against the president in the longer run. You know at the polls statistics show that most americans support health care in the United States. It does seem there is a difference though between Republicans Energy and democrats, who see it as a privilege and others who see it as a human right. The question is do you see a path forward with a new house of representatives and this president on this very delicate issue . This is a key issue, a delicate issue and its a partisan issue in a deep way as well. Everybody, a lot of those who have voted with President Trump who have been enjoying the fact that you can have Health Insurance or preexisting medical conditions, that protection, that security has affected millions and millions of people. When President Trump tried to divert attention, militarizing the whole issue of the Asylum Seekers at the border, americans rejected that. The house basically threw that out and i think what President Trump is really doing now is trying to win back that initiative. I think it would probably be something democrats would want to approach with caution trying to work with him. Theyre better off defending the positions than to work with President Trump because he is now, if you like the label on him, its he is not reliable on health care and i suspect that is going to play very heavily in the politics of 2020. I want to shift now to talk about the revolving door at the white house. The Washington Post reported that the u. S. Interior secretary was given an ultimatum to leave by the end of the year or be fired. Heres the thing. Zinke wanted to stay on through his Christmas Party where he invited lobbyists, conservative activists and even pose before a photo of a polar bear wearing a santa hat. What do you think of the white house pushing him out . Well, they have to push him out just like they had to push out a lot of other people. You showed a graphic earlier on. The fact is that this Trump White House is a deep spiraling crisis there. Isnt a single dimension or aspect of this administration which is not under investigation where its associates and appointees havent resigned or been dismised, they havent misused their office. It starts with President Trump. He believes he owns the government. Its a personalist, authoritarian attitude towards government. You dont serve the government, you dont serve the public, you serve yourself. You milk it for everything you can get. That starts from the top. That is a very deeply corrupt attitude towards what is supposed to be the most advanced democracy in the world and i think people are beginning to see that more and more whampt it leads to in the end is very difficult to say, but we saw in the house elections in november that Republican Voters were affluent, College Educated are running away from President Trumps administration because hes achieved big parts of the agenda they wanted, tax cuts, corporate deregulation and so on and i think now they believe hes bringing the whole country into disrepute and the democrats have shifted a little bit further to the conservative right. I suspect theyll think we can go down that road, do this sort of thing without the corruption which is at the core of this particular discussion. Thank you so much. Thank you. Speaking of the u. S. President , before he won the president ial election, donald trump promised to rip up the paris climate agreement and soon after he became president he took aim on making good on that promise as youll remember in this sound bite. The United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord but begin negotiations to reenter either the paris accord or a really entirely new transaction on terms that are fair to the United States, its businesses, its workers, its people so were getting out but we will start to negotiate and we will see if we can make a deal thats fair. But in poland at an allimportant climate conference, that deal is alive and well. The u. S. Still on board. Delegates from nearly 200 countries okayed the rules to put the Paris Climate Accord into action prompting celebrations as youll see. Those countries, including the u. S. , cannot actually leave the agreement untiling 2020. Lets go live to poland to that conference. Cnns nic payton walsh has been watching this live. Tell us what came out of these agreements. Reporter well, it is certainly a piece of good news frankly for the planet because there was a moment during these last two weeks before negotiations where it was possible people were fearing we wouldnt see this. Some degree of relief, frankly, that we saw that this rule will come through late last evening, 9 00 or so. Theyve managed finally to agree and it was referred to as an historic moment by the Climate Change summit president. A lot of cheering. It was basically the world saying we need to do something about Climate Change. They hadnt worked out the mechanism, technicalities how you would measure emissions, Emissions Reductions and how transparent people would be about how they were doing. This got through. This was a sense, as i say, of relief. Certainly many activists saying theyve done just enough to keep the Climate Change agreement from paris on the road. There are two pretty substantial problems. The first, the United States was strange bed fellows of russia, saudi arabia denying a lot of the Climate Science here. That put a bad tone over the remaining days of the negotiations. Instead of welcoming that report, welcoming the timely completion of that report essentially saying were glad it was done on time without endorsing what it says. They got around that hurdle. The second one was a lastminute problem from brazil, the lungs of the earth, the amazon rain forest wanted to see the accounting of carbon trading, the complex game of which emissions are traded among different nations. They wanted that advantageously in their favor. That has been kicked down the road until next year. Yes, a cloud certainly in terms of this summit having denial of the science being thrown around during it but certainly a Silver Lining people are focusing on. They have a rule book and thats moving forward. This is the very same agreement the u. S. President promised to pull out of, that cant happen until 2020. Given the fact there were u. S. Representatives who signed on to these rules, are some seeing this as an opening that attitudes are shifting about this agreement . Reporter in the long term, yes, theyve given their lives to the science of Climate Change. Its a fact its happening. I think many say their presence here or inside those negotiating rooms was not acting as a spoiler. They were trying to throw a wrench in the works, so to speak, and i think that may be because they would have said, listen, were leaving at the end of 2020. Donald trump gets his way so the rules dont really affect us but that would have been difficult for them to get that done on a higher level the u. S. Has been a side show here. They held a fossil fuel event. That had peoples jaws drop. There was a protest from a younger generation. They were shouted down by those voices. The rest of the world accepts thats a thing. The maldives who may be under water soon said you cant deny it. The rule book is in place and maybe a couple of years from now this will be seen as a strange aberration in the progress of science here. George . The facts are the facts. The stats are the stats. Stats, as you say, this thing is happening. Nic payton walsh live in poland. Thank you. Now to the death of a migrant girl in the United States.

While in the middle of that bus ride some 95 miles away. Any speculation on what the exact cause of death should not be discussed.
