Chinese President Xi Jinping has vowed to protect the landmark Paris agreement, which aims to curb climate change and fossil fuel emissions. He made the promise in a phone call with incoming French President Emmanuel Macron, the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement. US President Donald Trump is still deciding whether to withdraw from the accord - an election campaign promise. Climate experts worry such a move would throw the agreement into chaos. Global climate deal: In summary Trump shadow hangs over climate talks opening World v Trump on global climate deal? A White House meeting to discuss the topic on Tuesday has been postponed, amid reports of divisions among senior Trump advisers. It is the second time the meeting has been cancelled. No new date has been given. Grey line Team Trump divided: Analysis by Anthony Zurcher, BBC News, Washington The current disagreement within the White House over whether the US should withdraw from the Paris climate agreement is a prime example of the much-reported palace intrigue within the Trump administration spilling out into a policy debate. In one corner you have senior officials like strategist Steve Bannon and Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt, who are on record calling for an exit from the accord. Others, like Energy Secretary Rick Perry, have been noncommittal. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has said the US should keep a "seat at the table" and presidential adviser/daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner are pro-Paris. Donald Trump, while he did once tweet that global warming was a Chinese conspiracy, has largely avoided extended discussions on the subject. While his administration is steadily driving to roll back many Obama-era regulations, environmental issues as a whole seem of little interest to him. Any White House meeting to hash out a coherent policy on the Paris agreement is destined to be contentious and with a decidedly uncertain resolution. A battle no-one is convinced they will win is one that is ripe for delay - again. Grey line Mr Xi told Mr Macron China and France "should protect the achievements of global governance, including the Paris agreement", according to the Chinese foreign ministry. Under former President Barack Obama, the US and China issued several joint statements on climate change, even announcing together they would sign the Paris agreement. The two countries are the world's biggest polluters. For his part, when Mr Macron received his congratulatory phone call from the US president he told him he would also seek to defend the climate deal.

Emmanuel Macron took his first steps as France's president-elect on Monday but faces a tough task establishing a team that can govern effectively. His party has announced it is changing name from En Marche to La Republique En Marche (Republic on the Move). It must pick candidates quickly ahead of parliamentary elections on 11 and 18 June. It wants to be the biggest party but at the moment has no seats at all. Mr Macron beat the far right's Marine Le Pen by 66.1% to 33.9% on Sunday. But a low turnout and a record number of spoiled or blank votes showed disillusionment among many, particularly on the far left, at the choice they were given.

Ms Le Pen has also signalled there will be a change to her National Front party. There are suggestions from its officials, too, that it will change its name. But she has vowed to lead the "new force" into the parliamentary elections. Emmanuel Macron inherits one of the most powerful positions in Europe, and all the symbolism that comes with it. This morning at the Arc de Triomphe, he showed no sign of being awed by his new job. He walked alongside the outgoing President, François Hollande, as the two laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They then shook hands with veterans. Mr Macron appeared to take longer to make his way through one receiving line, stopping to talk to elderly men, leaving Mr Hollande to wait for him at the end. Emmanuel Macron now becomes France's youngest leader since Napoleon Bonaparte, whose battles are commemorated at the Arc de Triomphe. The new president will hope that his own fights are less bloody. How difficult could it be for Mr Macron to govern? He faces two main problems - a complete lack of representation in parliament and a deeply divided country.

The UK's richest 1,000 people "kept calm and carried on making billions" amid the Brexit vote of 2016, according to the Sunday Times Rich List. Their wealth rose by 14% over the past year to a record £658bn, it shows. Brothers Sri and Gopi Hinduja, who invest in property, healthcare and oil and gas, top this year's list with £16.2bn - up £3.2bn on 2016. The list includes a record number of British billionaires - 134 - with 14 new ones emerging over the last year. List compiler Robert Watts said: "While many of us worried about the outcome of the EU referendum, many of Britain's richest people just kept calm and carried on making billions." He said a revived stock market had been behind the surge in wealth for the super-rich. Six surprising ways to get rich 'Equities soared' "We expected to see a chilling effect in the run-up to the EU referendum, but that simply did not materialise," Mr Watts said. "A buoyant stock market usually drives the wealth of rich-listers higher, and since last June equities have soared." Of those in the top 20, only the Weston family - Guy, George and Galen Jr - lost money in the last year. They saw their fortune drop by £500m to £10.5bn because of a fall in the share price of Associated British Foods, in which they have a 20.8% stake. The largest increase in wealth went to steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, who added more than £6bn to his £13.23bn valuation. However, he remains a long way from his 2008 peak of £27.7bn - a Rich List record. Others on the list include: The Duke of Westminster - 26-year-old Hugh Grosvenor - is the only British-born billionaire in the top 10. He became the world's richest under-30 when he inherited the family estate last year Alisher Usmanov, who owns 30% of Arsenal Football Club, added more than £4bn to his £11.79bn fortune Brexit supporter Sir James Dyson, who last year became the first self-made Briton to break the £5bn barrier, this year increased his wealth to £7.8bn Zlatan Ibrahimovic, was the highest new entrant among sports stars with £110m after his move to Manchester United Adele consolidated her position as Britain's wealthiest ever female musician by earning £40m, bringing her assets to £125m Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are all on the list, with Radcliffe on £78m, Watson on £39m and Grint on £28m Mr Watts said: "We're seeing more and more diversity in the composition of the Rich List. "More women, more people from ethnic backgrounds, and more from surprising walks of life, with egg farmers and pet food makers lining up with hedge fund managers and private equity barons." Among those who lost money in this year's list were controversial businessmen Mike Ashley, the founder of Sports Direct, and Sir Philip Green, chairman of the Arcadia Group and the former owner of the collapsed chain store BHS. Ashley's wealth dropped by £270m to £2.16bn after shares in Sports Direct fell, while Sir Philip and Lady Green's wealth dropped by £433m to £2.78bn after he agreed to pay £363m to fund the pensions of former staff at BHS and the value of his stake in Arcadia lowered. It now takes assets of £110m to break into the ranks of the richest 1,000 people in the UK. The figure in 2016 was £103m. The top 20 in the list alone are worth a total of £191.77bn, increasing their wealth by £35.18bn over the past 12 months.
