Afternoon, Newsround fans!

Leah here today, live on CBBC.

Stick around for some of this brilliant stuff on the way.

We've got reaction from the US President -

not that, one this one - on his big decision

about climate change.

There is a general election on the way in the UK,

so Whitney has all you need to know about voting.

But first, President Donald Trump could be about to make a big

decision on climate change.

Whitney's been finding out more.

Back in 2015, almost 200 world leaders made an agreement in Paris

to take action on climate change.

One of them was Barack Obama, who was the US president at the time.

But now the new president, Donald Trump, might be

about to pull America out.

There are only two other countries who haven't signed the agreement.

Mr Trump promised to cancel the Paris deal during his election

campaign last year, saying it was bad for US business and jobs.

We are going to cancel the Paris climate agreements.

So does it matter if American leaves?

Well, apart from China, the US produces the most greenhouse

gases of any country in the world.

These are the gases that cause climate change,

so if America pulls out, this could have a real impact.

If you want to know more about climate change

or the Paris Agreement, head to Newsround online.

Next, there is just one week to go until a big vote

to decide who runs the UK.

Although you guys can't vote in the general election,

the decisions made will have a big impact on your lives.

But with so many different political parties competing with each other,

we're giving you the lowdown on the main ones.

Here's Ricky with a quick look at the Conservative Party.

The Conservatives in 60 seconds.

The Conservative Party - you may have heard them

called the Tories.

This is their symbol.

They are the oldest party in Europe and the largest party in parliament.

Past leaders include Winston Churchill, who won World War

II, and Margaret Thatcher, the first female Prime Minister.

Now it's Theresa May.

She has been Prime Minister for nearly a year.

She lives at times 10 Downing Street with husband Philip

She lives at 10 Downing Street with husband Philip

and a cat called Larry.

The Conservatives think that people should have more opportunities

and control over their own lives.

Traditions such as the Royal family and the church are seen as very

important and should be left alone.

But opponents say the party only care about helping the rich.

Whoever wins the election will start talks with other leaders

about the UK leaving a club of country called

about the UK leaving a club of countries called

the European Union.

Theresa May will be hoping that the Conservatives can get a big

victory on election day.

She says that will help make those negotiations bit easier.

Thanks, Ricky.

You can find out about the UK's other main political parties

with our quick guides at Newsround online.

It's also where Ricky explains what all those words you might be

hearing about the election mean.

So, that's one of the parties hoping to be elected,

but how does that bit happen?

Here's Whitney.

Follow me.

I'm about to take you on a journey to vote.

And this is how you do it.

So on the 8th of June on election day, your school might have

one of these signs up saying polling station.

And what that means is that adults can vote there.

They are also in churches and community centres like this one.

Want to find out more?

Why not come inside?

First off, adults get their name checked off the list.

Hi, I'm Whitney Henry.

There you go.

Thank you very much.

And I am handed a piece of paper like this.

It's called a ballot paper and lists all the names

of the people I can vote for.

They are all from different political parties and all want to be

an MP in your area.

But first we've got to head to a super-secret booth so that

no-one can see how I vote.

It's all got to be done in private.

You've got to go!

I grab the pencil.

Scroll down the list and put an X by the name I want to win.

No emojis, though.

They might not be counted.

Then you fold your paper, put it in the ballot box and job done.

At 10pm all across the UK, doors at polling stations will shut.

The boxes will be whisked off.

All the votes will be counted and the person

with the most votes wins.

That's all from me.

Newsround is back tomorrow morning with Ayshah.

Goodbye for now!

BOTH: Hey, guys!

We just wanted to say we love

The Next Step and we can't wait for the new episode to come out.
