Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who has called on the fossil fuel industry to “drive, not obstruct” the transition to renewable energy. The comments conflict with the recommendations of climate scientists and U.N. “And before we are able to let go of that, we need to make sure that we have developed the energy systems of the future - and we are not yet, collectively, moving at the pace (required for) that to happen.”
“The reality is, the energy system of today continues to desperately need oil and gas,” Sawan said. In an interview with the BBC released Thursday, Shell CEO Wael Sawan also refused to rule out moving the company’s headquarters and stock market listing from Britain to the United States. “Get on the ground!” he can be heard shouting as he pins her down with his knee on her neck and shoulder.LONDON (AP) - The head of global energy giant Shell says it would be “irresponsible” to cut oil and gas production at a time when the world economy is still dependent on fossil fuels. One deputy is seen tackling the woman to the ground. The body-cam video shows the man sitting on a large rock outside the store and holding a cake before deputies handcuff him as the woman stands a few feet away filming the encounter. The couple, whose names were not released, reportedly matched the descriptions of robbers targeting a grocery store in Lancaster, 72 kilometers (45 miles) northeast of Los Angeles, the sheriff’s department said.
That agreement settled federal allegations that deputies in the Antelope Valley, including Lancaster, had engaged in excessive use of force and racially-biased policing that included disproportionately stopping or searching Blacks and Latinos. The sheriff said his department has opened an investigation into the deputies’ use of force and had notified the county’s Civilian Oversight Commission and also federal monitors, who are overseeing reforms that the department agreed to in 2015. The Associated Press’ efforts to reach the bystander Wednesday were not immediately successful.
There’s no ifs and buts about it,” the sheriff said. Luna said he had seen the body-camera video as well as bystander video that spread on social media. The department released footage from the deputies’ body-worn cameras on Monday.
Luna said he didn’t learn about the encounter until six days after it occurred. It’s also testing the reform efforts of the new sheriff, Robert Luna, a former Long Beach police chief who has vowed to overhaul the nation’s largest sheriff’s department since taking it over in December after defeating incumbent Alex Villanueva.īoth officers were pulled off field duty, Luna said during an afternoon news conference, and could face discipline ranging from letters of reprimand all the way up to dismissal if misconduct is found. The June 24 incident in the city of Lancaster follows several cases that have drawn scrutiny to the department amid allegations of excessive use of force by its deputies. LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles County sheriff says a bystander’s cellphone footage showing a deputy violently tackling a woman while she filmed a man being handcuffed, then pepper-spraying her in the face, is “disturbing,” and community groups on Wednesday called for the department’s new chief to hold his agency accountable.
