The move could isolate the u. S. From almost every other nation in fighting Climate Change. Anne makovec joins us now to tell us how local lawmakers are responding. Reporter President Trump is set to announce his decision at noon our time in a press conference in the rose garden. Abandoning the pact would isolate the u. S. From almost all of our International Allies who spent years negotiating the climate agreement. The goal of that agreement is to fight Global Warming and pollution by reducing Carbon Emissions across the world. California has long been a leader among u. S. States in our carbon policies and governor jerry brown is vowing to keep it up despite any decision coming from washington, dc. Brown says california will work with governments around the world to combat Climate Change even if President Trump rolls back domestic environmental regulations. Trump turns off the satellite, california will launch its own damn satellite were going to collect that data brown is leaving tomorrow for his second trip to china as governor. He will promote californias Climate Policies at a conference of Global Energy ministers and he will be encouraging individual states, provinces, cities and other nonnational governments to take their own action to reduce Greenhouse Gases. Lieutenant governor gavin newsom on the same page tweeting about the possibility of the u. S. Leaving the paris accord saying, this could lead to three billion tons of additional co2 in the air a year melting ice sheets faster, seas rising higher and extreme weather. Well, traveling abroad last week, President Trump was repeatedly pressed to stay in the deal by european leaders and the vatican. Withdrawing would leave the u. S. Aligned only with russia among the worlds industrialized economies. Well of course well find out later today but what happens if the president does withdraw from this agreement . The u. S. Is second only to china right now when it comes to Carbon Emissions. So abandoning the deal would matter. One estimate shows that the u. S. Could contribute an increase of as much as. 3 degrees celsius in Global Temperatures by the end of the century if the country abandons the deal. Thank you. Hundreds of people are requesting a prescription for lifeending drugs since california adopted a right to die law. The law allowing physicians assisted deaths took effect a year ago today. According to the Advocacy Group compassion and choices, more than 500 people have contacted them seeking information since then. A lawsuit has been filed to overturn the law.

But this year has been all about and continues to be all about redemption so to commemorate the finals a lot of us fans want to get some swag, right, if you are spending money on a keepsake, know what youre paying for. A lot of counterfeiters tried to take advantage of consumers when theres a big event like this so always look for the nba hologram the name of an nba licensee like adidas and a good quality product. Generally speaking, when you have an event like the nba finals or all star, the counterfeiters will see that as an opportunity to increase their business.

More than 11 million pieces of unauthorized merchandise has been ceased since 1992 for the coalition to protect advancement of sport logos and thats the equivalent of 425 million.

[ music ] [ speaking spanish ] reporter when Sarah Charles first entered River Glen School as a kindergartner, she had to learn a new language. Well, i could kind of follow along. It was still really hard learning. Um, but now its not hard. Reporter for the first two years, the school has an 8020 program. 80 of the material is taught in spanish. Even math class. [ speaking spanish ] you would be amazed how fast kids get the second language. Reporter mastering two languages is the main goal but not the only one. This person has been teaching here for nearly 20 years. They learn about different cultures. So it opens their minds up to learning about other people, about the world. Were like a big family, and we help each other. We see it in the classroom, you see how they care about each other. You see how they help each other. And even when the teacher is not asking them to help, they just do it and its Pretty Amazing to watch. Reporter what else is impressive . These third graders are already thinking long term. I want to be a doctor like my mom. And my mom says that since im bilingual like her, its going to help me get a job. Reporter to put them to the test, i asked them to respond in spanish.

It will give me more advantages an opportunities for things that i would like to do when i grow up. Its a flat world these days. And they need to be able to communicate with as many people as we can. To give you a sense of how popular this program, more than 100 students are on the waiting list already for kindergarten next year for just 26 slots. Wow. Yeah. And there are some challenges of course to set these schools up one being the lack of qualified teachers. Theres of course extra credentials to teach at a school like this. Sure. But its so valuable for the students. Now, when they were speaking spanish, did you understand the answer . No. I studied eight years of french in high school so i wish i had studied spanish. I told the teacher that i think i should just sit in on some of your classes. She said she wanted to be a pediatrician because she wants to help. Which i think is so cool. She was an impressive student. All the students there very intelligent and on the right track. Awesome and cool. Thanks so much. Time now 5 11.
