Prosecutors 2 in Los Angeles in San Francisco say Uber Technologies has agreed to pay 10 million dollars as part of a 25-million-dollar settlement to end a civil lawsuit 3 against it in California. The app-based taxi services faced accusations 4 of misleading customers about its checks on drivers. Dave Lee reports from San Francisco.

But to drive an Uber, that's not necessary as the company uses a different system to vet 6 its drivers. So when Uber advertised itself as the safest drive on the road, authorities cried foul 7. Prosecutors said Uber missed 25 people with prior convictions including several sex offenders 8 and a convicted murderer. Uber has agreed to change how it advertised its safety procedures, but the BBC understands it will not be adding finger printing to its vetting 9 process.

There is a growing consensus 10 that poorer countries would be more vulnerable to climate change than richer ones. So the Washington based Work Bank is raising special spending to 3.5 billion dollars by 2020 and it hopes to encourage even more from the private sector 11. Part of the plan envisages 12 boosting enough renewable energy to power 150 million homes. It also proposes an investment in what it calls climate smart agriculture for 40 countries and more spending on green transport.
