4 Nov 02:30 ET / 07:30 GMT CLIMATE-CHANGE/NEW YORK-TRUMP (PIX)

Climate reality and politics collide in conservative New York City neighborhood imperiled by climate change New York's Broad Channel neighborhood stands out for many reasons – both because its low-slung homes on stilts stand over Jamaica Bay and because the police officers, firefighters and other residents of the solidly working-class area are a rare bastion of support for Republican President Donald Trump in a largely liberal city.

The low-lying community is also the part of the city most imperiled by climate change – it was nearly wiped out by Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and many residents had to rebuild their homes. The New York City Panel on Climate Change predicts that the area will see even worse flooding in the coming decades. As the Trump administration prepares to formally withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement on Nov. 4, interviews with a dozen residents reveal a changing neighborhood where climate and politics often don't go hand in hand. 4 Nov 06:00 ET / 11:00 GMT

USA-HOMELESS/LOS ANGELES (PIX) (TV) (GRAPHIC) Los Angeles tries to stem overflow of homeless encampments with new permanent housing

Only a fraction of the estimated 36,000 homeless people in Los Angeles have been housed three years after voters in November 2016 approved a ballot measure that raised $1.2 billion to build housing for street denizens and poor people. The sheer cost of building permanent homes with social services in one of the priciest real estate markets in the United States is one of the biggest obstacles. There is also opposition from homeowner groups to building such homes in their neighborhoods. Some homeless people have their own apprehensions about living among strangers and having to follow rules in shelters.

The number of homeless people increased16% in Los Angeles last year, but city officials are trying to turn the tide. 4 Nov 06:00 ET / 11:00 GMT
