:03:52. > :03:56.climate and more about other countries gaining a financial
:03:57. > :04:06.advantage over the United States. The rest of the world applauded when
:04:07. > :04:11.we signed the Paris agreement, they went wild, they were so happy. For

:09:45. > :09:49.But for trurm Trump, what matters is the plight of the US coal

:09:55. > :09:57.Americans working in coal is dwarfed by those with jobs in the solar and
:09:58. > :10:03.the wind industries. So what does this decision by Donald

:11:58. > :12:01.promised to do? Yes. People like Barack Obama are saying this is
:12:02. > :12:07.President Trump rejecting the future. He says he hopes that cities
:12:08. > :12:14.and states and businesses will step. He said in the last few minutes a

:13:05. > :13:07.the Europeaning leaders? Europe is in a defiant mood. In Paris, the
:13:08. > :13:12.Town Hall has been lit up in green in support of the environment. We
:13:13. > :13:16.have had a joint statement from Germany, Italy and France, saying
:13:17. > :13:23.that they regret Donald Trump's decision, that contrary to what he

:13:27. > :13:32.the fight against climate change will continue without the United
:13:33. > :13:38.States. As luck has it for the EU, tomorrow is the annual EU China
:13:39. > :13:43.summit so that gives them the chance to stand side by side with the
:13:44. > :13:49.biggest polluter and to give a joint statement on the accord. The
:13:50. > :13:55.decision of Donald Trump comes hot on the heels with the meetings with

:19:02. > :19:04.with the EU that will be needed if they are to succeed.
:19:05. > :19:07.That's partly because as soon as you dig down a bit into Brexit,
:19:08. > :19:10.it doesn't fit into neat election slogans.

:28:55. > :28:56.Two big trends in the new world of work - the huge growth
:28:57. > :29:00.in the number of zero-hours contracts and the huge growth

:29:28. > :29:34.The changing world of work may be positive for some,

:29:40. > :29:41.Flexibility can be great if it's a genuine choice
:29:42. > :29:44.and it's genuinely a two-way street between the boss and the worker.
:29:45. > :29:49.The problem is when all the power is in the hands of the boss,
:29:50. > :29:52.and we've seen too many bad bosses getting away with treating
:29:53. > :29:55.workers badly, having them at their beck and call.
:29:56. > :29:58.It's not so much flexibility, it's more a very old form
:29:59. > :30:05.Whoever cashes in on June 8th, one of the first reports

:30:58. > :31:03.Dr Ibrar Majid, who works at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital,
:31:04. > :31:06.said he was angry that a man who claimed to share his Muslim faith

:31:09. > :31:11.Dr Majid spoke to our correspondent Martin Bashir.
:31:12. > :31:16.It was the front line in treating the youngest victims
:31:17. > :31:21.and soon welcomed the Queen, who offered support and comfort.

:31:24. > :31:27.The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital has won widespread praise

:31:36. > :31:37.What we saw was essentially war wounds.
:31:38. > :31:44.Yes, so the kind of wounds you would see on a battlefield.
:31:45. > :31:47.We were operating from probably about one o'clock in the morning
:31:48. > :31:49.all the way to just before eight o'clock.
:31:50. > :31:56.then there was a pecking order of what needed to be done.
:31:57. > :31:59.So the life-saving surgery had to be done before the limb-saving surgery.
:32:00. > :32:01.And were there several children where there
:32:02. > :32:06.Yes, and even to this day we're continuing
:32:07. > :32:08.to operate on some children, and some of these children
:32:09. > :32:11.will continue to need surgeries going into next week.
:32:12. > :32:16.Fortunately, that night in theatre, we didn't lose any patients.

:32:20. > :32:23.managing a team of nurses and consultants.
:32:24. > :32:27.The clinical challenge for Dr Majid was only compounded by the knowledge
:32:28. > :32:31.that the attacker claimed to be a Muslim.
:32:32. > :32:36.I don't understand how somebody who professes to have that same
:32:37. > :32:40.faith has such a discordant view of life.
:32:41. > :32:43.How do you feel about individuals who claim to be Muslims
:32:44. > :32:49.I can understand why people are angry - I am angry.
:32:50. > :32:51.I am angry that someone would do this,
:32:52. > :32:58.After eight hours of nonstop surgery,
:32:59. > :33:02.he finally went home to his family.
:33:03. > :33:06.What did you tell your wife when you got home?
:33:07. > :33:09.I couldn't really talk to her much at all,
:33:10. > :33:15.I think the words I used were, "It was horrific,"
:33:16. > :33:18.and I said I needed to rest, and I just went upstairs.
:33:19. > :33:21.I slept for about two hours, I was woken by my son,
:33:22. > :33:24.he'd just come back from nursery, and I can remember giving him
