:05:20. > :05:24.during his election campaign, this is something he says he's promised.
:05:25. > :05:28.That's exactly right. It was a campaign promise to bring back jobs,
:05:29. > :05:32.especially coal mining jobs as we heard, the coal industry has been
:05:33. > :05:36.targeted by environmental regulations. It is a key part of his
:05:37. > :05:41.voting based, so that is the strongest argument for pulling out
:05:42. > :05:44.of the agreement by his advisers in the White House. There are other
:05:45. > :05:48.advises those who are making the other argument, saying the United
:05:49. > :05:52.States needs to keep the seat at the table, if it pulls out its going to
:05:53. > :05:57.damage credibility, and diminish its leadership. Also, that business is

:06:02. > :06:04.says he is listening to both sides and later today we will hear what he
:06:05. > :06:09.decided. It's worth bearing in mind that if he decides to withdraw from
:06:10. > :06:13.the agreement, that is a long process that could take 3-4 years.
:06:14. > :06:18.By that time we might have someone else in the White House who can

:06:47. > :06:51.President Obama, America and China together provide the nucleus, the
:06:52. > :06:54.twin pack at the middle of the Paris climate agreement. If one of those
:06:55. > :06:59.is to leave, it's bound to have an effect and the risk would be that
:07:00. > :07:03.other countries who are a bit wobbly about it, like Russia for example,
:07:04. > :07:11.could think it's time for them to leave as well. But actually in
:07:12. > :07:16.practical terms what might it mean? For some of the countries taking
:07:17. > :07:19.part, like China, they have their own logic for taking part in
:07:20. > :07:24.disagreement. In China, the middle class are fed up with dirty air. The
:07:25. > :07:28.obvious answer to that is to move to renewables. One of the consequences
:07:29. > :07:33.is that renewables are now far cheaper than they used to be. For
:07:34. > :07:36.many countries it makes sense to go green, regardless of the Paris
:07:37. > :07:43.agreement. I think even in America you're seeing more people employed
:07:44. > :07:46.industry than the coal industry, you're starting to see a shift
:07:47. > :07:50.regardless of the Paris agreement. Some people say it doesn't matter

:08:33. > :08:37.out of the whole of last night's debate no-show, and on to the safer
:08:38. > :08:42.ground of Brexit. A brighter future awaits, she says, but only she can
:08:43. > :08:47.get us there. I want us to work together to fulfil the promise of
:08:48. > :08:52.Brexit too. Because if we get Brexit right, then together we can do great
:08:53. > :08:57.things. We can build a Britain beyond Brexit, that is stronger,
:08:58. > :09:01.fairer and even more prosperous than it is today. But the Liberal
:09:02. > :09:06.Democrats think she would be taking Britain down the wrong path. They
:09:07. > :09:09.claim the economy has already suffered, and there would be worse
:09:10. > :09:13.to come. I think what people want to know is why on earth the
:09:14. > :09:17.Conservatives want to pursue such an extreme version of Brexit, which
:09:18. > :09:21.will not just take account of the EU but also harm our economy by taking

:09:26. > :10:21.approaches to Brexit compare? After last night's debate, Labour
:10:22. > :10:25.also want to talk about Brexit today. Jeremy Corbyn says Theresa
:10:26. > :10:30.May's approach would risk a jobs meltdown. I'm very clear that we
:10:31. > :10:34.will negotiate tariff free trade access to European markets so our
:10:35. > :10:38.manufacturing industry jobs are defended unsupported, and we have a
:10:39. > :10:41.growing economy as a result of that. Brexit is the backdrop to this
:10:42. > :10:44.election and we've had plenty of sound bites and slogans from all the
:10:45. > :10:48.parties about what they would do. But there are still a number of
:10:49. > :10:53.unanswered questions on all sides, like how much of a divorce bill we

:11:04. > :11:12.political editor Norman Smith. A sense that Theresa May is really
:11:13. > :11:18.trying to get her key message across here? The area she is feeling
:11:19. > :11:22.comfortable within Brexit? There is no surprise Mrs May wants to crank
:11:23. > :11:27.this election back to Brexit. But I think is significant about today is
:11:28. > :11:31.a very different tone and approach from Mrs May, a more optimistic,
:11:32. > :11:36.confident, upbeat vision of what life in Britain will be like after
:11:37. > :11:40.Brexit. Suggesting will be better off and more prosperous, there will
:11:41. > :11:44.be more jobs, there will be more opportunities and we will be set
:11:45. > :11:49.free to become a great global trading nation again, and suggesting
:11:50. > :11:53.we will be a nation more at ease with ourselves. We'll be more
:11:54. > :11:58.confident, more united, a country she says life with opportunities.
:11:59. > :12:03.What is going on? I think Mrs May wants to give people a sense of
:12:04. > :12:10.better times ahead. Of sunlit uplands beyond Brexit. To date, her
:12:11. > :12:16.campaign has been a bit dour, there's been a lot of talk of hard
:12:17. > :12:19.choices, difficult decisions, huge challenges. Inevitably people's
:12:20. > :12:24.shoulders tend to slump. It sounds as if we are going to have to spend
:12:25. > :12:28.time in the salt mines. Now, Mrs May trying to walk on the sunny side of
:12:29. > :12:33.the street. One other thing, almost no mention in her speech of Jeremy
:12:34. > :12:38.Corbyn. In previous speeches there has always been a remorseless focus
:12:39. > :12:42.on his lack of leadership qualities, or his personality or his past
:12:43. > :12:48.political affiliations. Today, almost nothing. What does that tell

:23:53. > :23:56.have a sense of self and to give our skills back into the workforce.
:23:57. > :24:00.Small creative businesses like this one may often start on the kitchen

:24:48. > :24:53.department and I don't know the head of the Department. That is a bit
:24:54. > :24:56.unusual. I've had the office job and I'm just not interested any more, I

:25:12. > :25:16.need to adapt and he runs an online marketplace for small businesses,
:25:17. > :25:20.which has grown 50% in the last ten years. These are life choices. Last
:25:21. > :25:24.year we had 20 businesses that made more than ?1 million with us and 17
:25:25. > :25:30.of them were founded by women so this is a genuine way to make a

:25:41. > :25:43.status to Northern Ireland He said such a move would be a "back

:25:56. > :26:08.for a border poll as "nonsense". I nor my party will tolerate any
:26:09. > :26:15.attempt to undermine the principle of consent. There can be no border

:30:20. > :30:30.who's died at the age of 81. Let's turn our attention to the
:30:31. > :30:33.weather now at Tomasz Schafernaker. The weather has turned across
:30:34. > :30:38.north-western parts of the UK, the great sky behind me is coming in
:30:39. > :30:41.from our weather watcher in the Highlands in Nairn. Gloomy skies on
:30:42. > :30:46.and off through the day and there is rain around. The weather is not so
:30:47. > :30:51.bad across Wales, some sunshine here, a bit hazy, though, the best
:30:52. > :30:58.of the weather clear blue skies in Essex. Today, the 1st of June, marks
:30:59. > :31:03.the first day of meteorological winter, we start sooner. The weather
:31:04. > :31:06.front running in our direction, two things happening I mentioned
:31:07. > :31:09.yesterday, fresher weather in the north-west but warmer air wafting in
:31:10. > :31:14.from France and will continue to do so through the whole day. That means
:31:15. > :31:20.that across most of England and Wales it is a very pleasant and warm
:31:21. > :31:25.day. Temperatures get up to 25 or 26, two hot for some. Fine weather
:31:26. > :31:28.across Yorkshire, 21 degrees, but look at Northern Ireland, south-west
:31:29. > :31:33.Scotland, western Scotland, and it is only in the teens, outbreaks of
:31:34. > :31:38.rain, bit of a breeze there as well. Big contrasts across the country
:31:39. > :31:42.today. This weather front will move sluggishly through this evening. By
:31:43. > :31:46.the time we get to Friday morning it is only just nibbling on western
:31:47. > :31:52.parts of Wales and just about nudging into the Lake District. The
:31:53. > :31:55.bulk of England is dry and warm, 15, 16 degrees this coming night.
:31:56. > :31:59.Finally the weather front makes a move, shimmy and further towards the
:32:00. > :32:03.east and fresher air comes in behind but ahead of it still the warm air
:32:04. > :32:08.wafting in from France meaning temperatures could get up to about
:32:09. > :32:11.26 or 27. You saw some flashes of lightning, so they could be storms
:32:12. > :32:15.around across the south-east and East Anglia and they may rumble on
:32:16. > :32:21.into the evening as well. That corner here feeling more stormy and
:32:22. > :32:24.humid. The rest of us will be in the fresher at Atlantic air force as we
:32:25. > :32:28.head into the weekend, here is Saturday, the low pressure pretty
:32:29. > :32:32.much stays where it is in the North Atlantic, but what it is doing is it
:32:33. > :32:36.is pushing weather fronts ever so further towards the East. That means
:32:37. > :32:40.by the time we get to Saturday we are all in this oceanic air mass,
:32:41. > :32:43.fresh conditions, quite a few showers and maybe the odd crack of
:32:44. > :32:47.thunder across north-western parts of the country and a similar day on
:32:48. > :32:51.Sunday, spot the difference. The best of the weather probably eastern
:32:52. > :32:56.and south-eastern areas during the weekend. Let's summarise this. Your
:32:57. > :32:59.plans for the weekend: fresher breeze, some sunshine certainly, the
:33:00. > :33:02.weather will probably look like this picture behind me. Back to you.
:33:03. > :33:06.Thank you, Tomasz Schafernaker. A reminder of our main
