THE HAGUE Cheap Air Force 1 , May 31 (Xinhua) -- It will be a bitter disappointment if the United States withdraws from the Paris agreement on climate change, said Dutch Minister for the Environment Sharon Dijksma on Wednesday.


"If it is true, then today is a sad day for the world," Dijksma told Dutch media.


"I am one of those people who negotiated really hard in Paris to make the agreement possible..." she said, adding tha it would be a pity if the country withdraws from it.


Senior U.S. officials said earlier on Wednesday that President Donald Trump is expected to withdraw from the Paris agreement which was signed last year by former U.S. President Barack Obama. During his campaign, Trump pledged to "cancel the Paris agreement".


In the G7 summit joint communique issued on Saturday Air Force 1 Sale , no common ground was mentioned on climate change due to the U.S. position. Trump tweeted that "I will make my final decision on the Paris Accord next week!"

"Many states and cities want to continue and luckily that is possible because they have a lot of own legislative space. Thereby, the business community extensively invests in stainability, because climate also generates economic growth and jobs."

CAPE TOWN, May 21 (Xinhua) -- South African Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday called for the establishment of an independent judicial commission to thoroughly investigate all allegations of "state capture."


"Only through such a commission will we be able to establish the extent to which the institutions of our state have been used to improperly - and illegally - enrich a few individuals and families Air Force 1 Mens ," Ramaphosa said while giving a lecture in the platinum-mining hub of Rustenburg, North West Province.


He was referring to the Gupta saga in which the wealthy Indian Gupta family allegedly exerts undue influence on President Jacob Zuma in the appointments of cabinet ministers and CEOs of state-owned enterprises.


Both Zuma and the Guptas have denied the allegations.


Last year, South Africa's graft ombudsman recommended the establishment of a judicial commission into the alleged "state capture."


An independent judicial commission would help get to the bottom of these rumours, reports, and allegations, Ramaphosa said.


"We must act to stop all forms of capture Air Force 1 Womens , corruption, and cronyism," Ramaphosa noted.


As part of these efforts, the Financial Intelligence Centre Amendment (FICA) bill must now be actively implemented, in particular as it relates to so-called "politically exposed persons," to ensure that there is no space for illicit financial activity Air Force 1 Suede , said Ramaphosa.


The bill is aimed at further strengthening the transparency and integrity of the South African financial system in its objectives to combat financial crimes, which include tax evasion, money laundering and the financing of terrorism and illicit financial flows.


In April, Zuma signed the bill into law.


Ramaphosa also said the ruling African National Congress (ANC) must fight rampant corruption and narrow personal enrichment.


Ramaphosa warned that South Africa faces the risk of becoming a mafia state.


"If we are to counter this grave threat, if the ANC is to recover its leadership role in society, then it is absolutely imperative that we act with urgency and purpose Air Force 1 White ," he said.


The ANC must ensure that South Africa does not become a mafia state "because once you reach that state, all the wheels have come off," said Ramaphosa.


The ANC, he said, must implement lifestyle audits of all those in leadership structures.


"We must introduce, as has been proposed by the ANC this week Air Force 1 Black , transparency into party political funding. All of these steps must be implemented without fear or favour. They must not be guided by factional interests," Ramaphosa added.
