THINGS THAT HAPPENED WHIL= YOU ATE LEFTOVERS

Immigration updates

The Story

The chaos at the US-Mexico border is reaching a new high.

In what way?

For weeks, thousands of Central American migrants hav= been traveling through Mexico to seek asylum in the US. More than a week =go, many reached the border city of Tijuana, where they've been held in a makeshift shelter. Tijuana=officials reportedly say the shelter (a converted sports complex) is at le=st 1,500 people over capacity and they lack the resources to provide bette= help. The mayor is calling this a humanitarian crisis. This weekend, Trum= tweeted that if needed, he'll close the entire southern border. And said =hat all migrants will stay in Mexico while their asylum claims go through =S courts. This would break from current US immigration policy – wh=ch allows migrants to stay in the US while their claims are processed. Mex=co's incoming gov says it hasn't signed off on this change just yet.

So what's new?

Yesterday, hundreds of migrants protested in Tijuana over how slowly the asylum=process was going. The protest got out of control when some broke past a M=xican blockade and ran toward the San Diego border. The secretary of Homel=nd Security says the protesters threw things at US border agents. US borde= agents fired back at the crowd with tear gas. The gov temporarily closed the border crossing. And M=xico says it'll deport so=e migrants who tried to rush the border.

theSkimm

The Trump admin's immigration crackdown just kicked i=to high gear, graduating from deportations and family separations to actua= clashes and tear gas as hundreds of migrants stormed the border. Now, bot= the US and Mexico are figuring out their next move on a migration crisis =hat doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon.

Climate change report

The Story

On Friday, more than a dozen federal agencies dropped a report saying 'climate =hange is bad…very, very bad.'

How bad?

It could lead to the US economy losing hundreds of billions of dollars by the e=d of the century, apparently more than double the losses of the Great Rece=sion. Farmers in the Midwest could see a serious decline in their soybean =nd corn yield. Dairy and fishing industries are also expected to be hit. T=ings like higher temperatures and more wildfires could lead to the deaths =f thousands of Americans. The report seems to undermine President Trump's approach of getting rid of=environmental regulations to try to help the US economy.

So how'd this report happen?

It's required under a law from 1990. The NOAA and a d=zen other federal agencies drop a report at least every four years on how =limate change is impacting the US. It was scheduled to come out next month= But the Trump admin released=it on Black Friday, when the main news Americans are focused on is dea=s on deals on deals.

theSkimm

President Trump has often shrugged off concerns about=climate change. Now, over a dozen federal agencies are pointing out what c=uld go wrong with that approach. But the report states that doing things l=ke cutting greenhouse gas emissions ASAP might help avoid some of their wo=st predictions.

REPEAT AFTER ME...

What to say when your friends convince you to make Ne= Year's Eve plans…

I'm on board. Yesterday, EU leaders backed UK PM Theresa May's Brexit deal. Yes= that sound is May breathing a huge sigh of relief after months and months=of fighting. You've been hearing about the mess across the pond: there's b=en a lot of back and forth between the UK and the EU kids on the bloc over=specifics like a border in Ir=land. But they've come up with a fix. And now, the remaining EU countries are giving it the thum=s up – more than a week after May's cabinet did the same. Here's <= href="https://link.theskimm.com/click/15211731.2798595/aHR0cHM6Ly9za2lt=XRoLmlzLzJyMzF5MDk/5bae7b412ddf9c633bb801b8B38479fb2" target="_blank" st=le="color:#00b2a9;text-decoration:none;">what happens next: UK parli=ment is expected to vote on it next month. Lawmakers are pretty divided on=all of this, so it's TBD how that'll go. If they say 'aye,' then the Europ=an Parliament votes on it. And if they're both down, the divorce deal is a=go starting in March. If they aren't, Brexit could still start in March wi=hout a deal – and with a lot of chaos.

<=a>

What some people are upset about…

France's . Over the weekend, thousands turned out for the eigh=h day of protests against them. French President Emmanuel Macron has upped=fuel taxes as part of his plans to ditch fossil fuels and invest in renewa=le energy. Hundreds of thousands started protesting earlier this month aga=nst paying more taxes – and two people have reportedly died since.=Meanwhile in Spain, tens of thousands of people protested to stop violence against women. This issue=made headlines earlier this year, after five men accused of gang raping a =een were cleared of the most serious rape charges and found guilty only on=a lesser charge. The protests yesterday marked an international day to com=at violence against women. People chanted, held signs and apparently calle= on the government to better address these issues.

What people are watching…

Syria. A in Aleppo appears to have injured more than =00 people. The Syrian gov has carried out chemical attacks in the past. This time, the gov and its a=ly Russia say rebel forces are behind this. The rebels deny it, and say th=t the gov is trying to get out of a ceasefire. Speaking of conflicts Russi='s involved in, there's this<=a>. Ukraine has accused Russia of firing at and seizing several of its shi=s. This is about the Kerch Strait – it connects the Azov and Black=Seas off the coast of Crimea. A 2003 treaty says both Ukraine and Russia c=ntrol the strait, but Russia's been trying to play bouncer after it annexe= Crimea in 2014. Yesterday, Ukraine said it gave a heads up that its ships=were headed to the strait, but Russia still shot at them and injured at le=st six sailors. Russia said Ukraine trespassed and intentionally tried to =tart a conflict. Today, Ukraine's parliament is set to decide on whether t= introduce martial law – and the UN Security Council's holding a m=eting on all this.

Who you'll be hearing about today…

George P=padopoulos. A federal judge denied the former Trump campaign adviser's=request to hold off on his prison sentence for lying to the FBI in the Rus=ia probe. He's starting his 14 days behind bars today.
