:02:31. > :02:36.Craig Mackinlay. It was one of the big Conservative wins in the last
:02:37. > :02:42.general election, stopping Nigel Farage in South Thanet. Their
:02:43. > :02:48.candidate, Craig Mackinlay, won by just under 3000 votes after talking
:02:49. > :02:52.during the campaign of all the support he had had from Big Ben

:03:37. > :03:44.allow someone to go ahead as a general election candidate when this

:05:59. > :06:14.In the fight against global warming, and just hours after Donald Trump
:06:15. > :06:19.retreated, enter new leaders, the EU and China. Apart from the US, these
:06:20. > :06:24.are the world's other two economic heavyweights, prompted by President
:06:25. > :06:27.Trump to act in concert. What we are seeing here, with this joint
:06:28. > :06:31.reaction to Donald Trump's statement, is striking not just for
:06:32. > :06:35.the swiftness, but also for the message it sends at a time when the
:06:36. > :06:40.US under President Trump is withdrawing from global leadership
:06:41. > :06:44.on climate change. Instantly, the EU and China are stepping in to take up
:06:45. > :06:50.that mantle. It's a striking global change that could herald a decline
:06:51. > :06:54.in US influence. So at this special summit in Brussels, the EU and China
:06:55. > :06:59.are making a joint declaration. They will not abandon the Paris agreement
:07:00. > :07:03.- the opposite, they are committed to it. When President Trump
:07:04. > :07:08.announced his decision last night, he said Paris was a bad deal for the
:07:09. > :07:13.US. But this deal-maker won't be able to renegotiate, said EU
:07:14. > :07:16.countries, who have issued their own coordinated condemnation, a single
:07:17. > :07:24.statement signed by Germany, France and Italy. Angela Merkel today
:07:25. > :07:28.called the US decision regrettable, but she was holding back her real
:07:29. > :07:35.feelings. TRANSLATION: The decision can and will not stop all of us are
:07:36. > :07:39.protecting our decision to protect planet Earth. Quite the opposite. We
:07:40. > :07:44.in Germany, Europe and the world are more determined than ever to pull
:07:45. > :07:47.our strength to face one of the challenges for humankind. Theresa
:07:48. > :07:52.May did not sign the joint letter with Europe's other G7 members. That
:07:53. > :07:57.prompted this scathing attack from Jeremy Corbyn today. Given the
:07:58. > :08:01.chance to present a united front with our international partners, she
:08:02. > :08:04.has instead opted for silence and once again subservience to Donald
:08:05. > :08:11.Trump. It's a dereliction of both her duty to this country and our
:08:12. > :08:15.duty to our planet. Downing Street says the Prime Minister did not act
:08:16. > :08:18.together with other European nations because she spoke directly to
:08:19. > :08:23.President Trump last night to tell him she supports the Paris deal. I
:08:24. > :08:26.have made the UK's position on the Paris agreement clear. We remain
:08:27. > :08:29.committed to the Paris agreement. It is an important international
:08:30. > :08:33.agreement on climate change. I made the UK's position clear to President
:08:34. > :08:37.Trump last week at the G7 meeting, as did the other G7 leaders, and I
:08:38. > :08:42.made the UK's position clear to President Trump last night. Canada
:08:43. > :08:46.and Japan have not signed that letter, neither has the UK. But we
:08:47. > :08:50.all have the same view that we remain committed to the Paris
:08:51. > :08:55.agreement. In Brussels, the EU and China have been prompted to take a
:08:56. > :09:00.stand because they share the belief that fighting climate change makes
:09:01. > :09:04.both environmental and economic sense and, the EU says, put it on
:09:05. > :09:06.the right side of history. Damian Grammaticas, BBC News, Brussels.
:09:07. > :09:09.President Trump said the Paris agreement "punished" the US
:09:10. > :09:12.and cost American jobs, and he has the backing
:09:13. > :09:14.of many Republicans and the US coal industry.
:09:15. > :09:17.But some of America's largest corporations have joined EU
:09:18. > :09:19.countries and China in condemning the President's move.
:09:20. > :09:20.Our environment analyst Roger Harrabin looks now

:09:26. > :09:31.In the slums of Bangladesh, water levels are rising
:09:32. > :09:40.partly thanks to carbon emissions from America.
:09:41. > :09:43.The reaction of poor nations to President Trump is no surprise.
:09:44. > :09:45.He has effectively made the US a rogue state.
:09:46. > :09:50.The rest of the world has already said that we will carry
:09:51. > :09:55.Condemnation stretches far beyond Bangladesh.
:09:56. > :10:01.There has been a worldwide chorus of anger.
:10:02. > :10:04.Wherever we live, wherever we are, we all share the same
:10:05. > :10:06.responsibility. It is inspiring to see China,
:10:07. > :10:14.India, Brazil taking Donald Trump needs to be condemned
:10:15. > :10:20.in the strongest possible terms for this reckless and frankly
:10:21. > :10:29.economically illiterate decision. Our message to you, Mr President,
:10:30. > :10:33.is that as a public servant, especially as your first and most
:10:34. > :10:35.important responsibility But in America's coal states,
:10:36. > :10:40.there's strong support for the President's championing
:10:41. > :10:42.of fossil fuels. This is a man who gets up every day
:10:43. > :10:46.to keep the promises he made And by withdrawing today
:10:47. > :10:52.from the Paris Climate Accord, the president has demonstrated his
:10:53. > :10:57.commitment not just to keep his word, but to
:10:58. > :10:59.put American workers, American consumers, American energy
:11:00. > :11:02.and the American people first. But renewables like solar and wind
:11:03. > :11:04.are now outcompeting coal on price So the president may have caused
:11:05. > :11:12.an international row And imagine the next
:11:13. > :11:19.gathering of these guys, President Trump shamed
:11:20. > :11:22.them into paying more Now he is saying America won't pay
:11:23. > :11:29.to defend our planet. Our correspondent Jane O'Brien
:11:30. > :11:40.is in Washington for us. He's a president who's controversial
:11:41. > :11:53.in everything he does. It has certainly inflamed passions
:11:54. > :11:57.on both sites. You have the base, who are delighted. They thought it
:11:58. > :12:00.was a lousy deal. They debate the existence of climate change. For
:12:01. > :12:06.them, this was the right move. But it has inflamed anger on the part of
:12:07. > :12:11.the Liberals, on the left-leaning part of the country, who are
:12:12. > :12:15.absolutely furious, so much so that we are now seeing three states,
:12:16. > :12:19.California, Washington and New York, the governors of those three states
:12:20. > :12:23.have formed their own alliance to fight climate change, saying that
:12:24. > :12:27.even as the administration leaves the Paris agreement, they will gang
:12:28. > :12:32.together and uphold its principles. And we are seeing this kind of
:12:33. > :12:35.sentiment across the country. It's important because states and local
:12:36. > :12:38.governments are actually responsible for imposing their own regulations
:12:39. > :12:43.independent of anything the administration does. So they have
:12:44. > :12:47.real power in this. Another interesting division we are also
:12:48. > :12:51.seeing emerge even more strongly is the division within the White House.
:12:52. > :12:55.We know that the Secretary of State Rex Tillerson supported staying in
:12:56. > :12:59.the Paris agreement. Ivanka Trump, the President'sdaughter and her
:13:00. > :13:02.husband, Jared Kushner, also supported it. They were nowhere to
:13:03. > :13:04.be seen in the rose garden when Donald Trump made his announcement
:13:05. > :13:06.yesterday. Jane, many thanks. With me is our Science
:13:07. > :13:08.Editor David Shukman. What will the US decision mean
:13:09. > :13:18.practically for the Paris accord? Under the rules, America has to stay
:13:19. > :13:21.in for the best part of four years. It can't leave for that length of
:13:22. > :13:25.time. In practical terms, President Trump has said he. Immediately any
:13:26. > :13:32.payments that America was due to make under the agreement. So there
:13:33. > :13:34.is probably at least $2 billion promised by President Obama that now
:13:35. > :13:38.will not be paid towards poorer countries try to cope with the
:13:39. > :13:42.effects of climate change. Beyond that, there are some key meetings of
:13:43. > :13:46.the agreement coming up in the autumn. So will America send a
:13:47. > :13:50.delegation to those? Particularly if Donald Trump wants to raise the idea
:13:51. > :13:54.of renegotiation, will he send a team to do that or will there be an
:13:55. > :13:58.empty chair where the Americans used to sit? And beyond the Paris deal,
:13:59. > :14:02.what will it mean for efforts to tackle climate change more
:14:03. > :14:05.generally? It is enormously significant that this morning, we
:14:06. > :14:09.have had the EU and China standing firm about the Paris agreement and
:14:10. > :14:13.declaring their support for it. Other countries have done the same
:14:14. > :14:17.since the news broke. The risk is that one or two, maybe Russia or
:14:18. > :14:21.Saudi Arabia, might look at the American example unsafe they be we
:14:22. > :14:28.will leave or stay in but do nothing about it. Beyond that, Roger
:14:29. > :14:30.mentioned the fall in the price of renewable energy. There is now a
:14:31. > :14:34.logic for many people in moving to wind and solar, with or without the
:14:35. > :14:40.Paris agreement. So that trend will continue. And key to this is the
:14:41. > :14:43.role of big business. A number of business leaders have come out in
:14:44. > :14:49.support of the Paris agreement and have been critical of the move last
:14:50. > :14:51.night. Their involvement will help deliver a low carbon future. David,
:14:52. > :14:53.thank you. And let's speak to our Assistant
:14:54. > :15:04.political editor Norman Smith - Jeremy Corbyn was scathing about
:15:05. > :15:08.Theresa May in her response to President Trump's move. How much
:15:09. > :15:11.pressure is she and the? Mrs May is under pressure perhaps not just
:15:12. > :15:16.because of the environmental arguments, but because this row
:15:17. > :15:20.really cuts to two of the core issues in this election, namely
:15:21. > :15:23.leadership and Brexit. Leadership, because Mrs May's critics say at a
:15:24. > :15:27.time when so many other worldly goods including our closest allies
:15:28. > :15:31.in Europe are prepared to publicly confront Donald Trump over his
:15:32. > :15:36.decision to an effective either rest of the world and go it alone, Mrs
:15:37. > :15:40.May has publicly remained silent. They point to other instances where
:15:41. > :15:43.Mrs May has been reluctant to publicly criticise the President,
:15:44. > :15:49.such as after his introduction of that ban on Muslim refugees into the
:15:50. > :15:52.United States. Downing Street said in private, Mrs May was clear with
:15:53. > :15:55.the president last night when she spoke to him on the phone. She
:15:56. > :16:00.underlined her complete support for the Paris accords and opposition to
:16:01. > :16:04.his decision. They say the only reason she didn't sign this letter
:16:05. > :16:08.was because it was drawn up before she had a chance to talk to the
:16:09. > :16:12.president. This is also about Brexit, because the claim of critics
:16:13. > :16:16.is that Mrs May has deliberately prioritised relations with Donald
:16:17. > :16:22.Trump above those with our closest allies in Europe, preparing for the
:16:23. > :16:25.post-Brexit world. Their fear is that other EU countries, seeing
:16:26. > :16:31.this, will be even less likely to cut us a decent deal. They note Mrs
:16:32. > :16:34.Merkel's remarked at the weekend, saying that Europe could no longer
:16:35. > :16:37.rely on Britain and America. Norman, thanks.

:18:41. > :18:46.We are seeing a tremendous pressure on
:18:47. > :18:51.access on those beds because emergency admissions are

:20:18. > :20:29.A potentially significant development in this investigation
:20:30. > :20:34.say the police. They focus on a Nissan Micra found in Rusholme.
:20:35. > :20:38.People have been moved out of the area including an accommodation
:20:39. > :20:42.block part of Manchester Royal Infirmary. A visit to the hospital
:20:43. > :20:49.by Prince William has gone ahead. New images have been released as
:20:50. > :20:52.Salman Abedi moved around the city he was preparing to attack. He was
:20:53. > :20:57.back in Manchester four days before he committed mass murder. He has
:20:58. > :21:02.been captured on CCTV with the blue suitcase police are still searching
:21:03. > :21:06.for. Two cousins have been released after being questioned a week. They
:21:07. > :21:13.younger brother is still being held. It is not easy being connected to 22
:21:14. > :21:18.lost innocent lives. The fact that the person that did it is related to
:21:19. > :21:23.us by blood is something will stay with me the rest of my life will
:21:24. > :21:29.stop looking at the relationship with him, it was a close
:21:30. > :21:34.relationship will stop for him to betray the family. In that way,
:21:35. > :21:40.involving 22 innocent people traumatised by it, to be honest. It
:21:41. > :21:45.is shocking. The barbershop was one of the number of addresses searched.
:21:46. > :21:50.Salman Abedi was here in February for a haircut. The brothers say they
:21:51. > :21:57.had not seen him since that time. Early this week a bomb squad was at
:21:58. > :22:01.a house in the area now owned. They say Salman Abedi came to the house
:22:02. > :22:05.in the days before the attack. A lot of arrests have been made and more
:22:06. > :22:11.are anticipated. There is a long way to go. When it comes to warnings
:22:12. > :22:13.about Abedi, police say they can find no record of calls to the
:22:14. > :22:16.anti-terrorist hotline. Prince William has been
:22:17. > :22:17.meeting officers from Greater Manchester Police
:22:18. > :22:33.who were among the first to respond He spoke to an off-duty constable
:22:34. > :22:40.who was at the arena waiting for his daughter when the bomber struck.
:22:41. > :22:43.Arriving at Greater Manchester Police headquarters. The force at
:22:44. > :22:49.the centre of the investigation into the terror attack. Prince William
:22:50. > :22:52.beating officers who were some of the first on the scene to hear about
:22:53. > :23:06.the incredible work they carried out. In 11 of us got into a carrier
:23:07. > :23:12.that seated nine to get as many officers down there. Even on the way
:23:13. > :23:17.down, driving down Stockport Road, we had a feeling it would be a hoax
:23:18. > :23:25.and we would turn around and go back. As more and more calls came
:23:26. > :23:28.in, you realised it is what it is. Next stop, Manchester Cathedral,
:23:29. > :23:38.talking to people from the community who went above and beyond to help
:23:39. > :23:40.those injured. His Royal Highness attending a service and signing the
:23:41. > :23:47.book of condolence to show his support to those affected. And here,
:23:48. > :23:51.crowds are gathering as his Royal Highness is meeting ten children
:23:52. > :23:56.seriously wounded in the attack and who are still being treated will
:23:57. > :24:00.stop meters away, parts of the hospital have been evacuated as the
:24:01. > :24:08.investigation continues and a police search is going on nearby. It is
:24:09. > :24:12.just one week after the Queen's visit, beating others affected by
:24:13. > :24:16.the attack. Another royal boost to a place dealing with the aftermath of
:24:17. > :24:25.a tragedy that killed dozens and injured many more.
:24:26. > :24:28.Many key policy areas, such as health and education,
:24:29. > :24:32.are devolved in Wales, which means they are dealt
:24:33. > :24:39.So what are the big issues which may affect how people
:24:40. > :24:41.in Wales vote in the general election?
:24:42. > :24:44.On a sunny day, Newport in Pembrokeshire could be described
:24:45. > :24:47.as one of the most picturesque places in the country.
:24:48. > :24:50.It is a rural county where 23% of the population
:24:51. > :24:56.Given that so many key issues, such as health and education,
:24:57. > :25:03.are devolved, which issues are most important to the people
:25:04. > :25:05.in this seaside town in this general election?
:25:06. > :25:08.I think getting a good deal with Brexit definitely.
:25:09. > :25:11.In terms of local issues, I don't think they are really
:25:12. > :25:16.The policies, I think, at the end of the day,
:25:17. > :25:26.I think you've got to think of someone who will be strong enough
:25:27. > :25:28.to get us through different times, but the policies stand strongest
:25:29. > :25:33.Pembrokeshire is an agricultural heartland and a sector,
:25:34. > :25:35.like several others in Wales, that benefits from European funding.
:25:36. > :25:37.Political parties have said they would replace
:25:38. > :25:39.the shortfall when we leave, but there are worries
:25:40. > :25:41.about what could happen if the money is not replaced.
:25:42. > :25:44.It would be very damaging to the red meat sector,
:25:45. > :25:54.The statistics show that without that support payment,
:25:55. > :25:58.they would be losing a lot of money and you would see them disappear.
:25:59. > :26:01.Here at Gwent urban centre, what is most important
:26:02. > :26:05.and what will win the vote come June 8th?
:26:06. > :26:08.It is the leaders that are going to change people's votes, I think.
:26:09. > :26:16.My biggest concern is Wales gets the money that we would have been
:26:17. > :26:19.paying the EU and to help people in Britain because in Newport
:26:20. > :26:26.Business rates are another devolved issue.
:26:27. > :26:29.However decisions on and financing large-scale projects are not.
:26:30. > :26:32.So which infrastructure would benefit the economy in Newport
:26:33. > :26:37.Certainly the electrification, given it would run straight
:26:38. > :26:44.That means that Newport is brought closer to London and markets
:26:45. > :26:46.in the south-east of England, which are crucial and lucrative
:26:47. > :26:52.So will the choice be based on Brexit, the leadership battle,
:26:53. > :26:56.or will something else sway the vote in Newport on polling day?
:26:57. > :27:01.This evening, as part of the election coverage,
:27:02. > :27:04.Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn will both take part in a BBC
:27:05. > :27:08.Here's our Chief Political Correspondent Vicki Young
:27:09. > :27:23.This is where Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn will be standing as they face
:27:24. > :27:25.questions from 150 voters. The last-minute preparations are under
:27:26. > :27:32.way making sure the important microphones work. In the past, this
:27:33. > :27:36.format has proved tricky. Last time, David Cameron face difficult
:27:37. > :27:40.questions on welfare cuts and Ed Miliband struggled to answer whether
:27:41. > :27:45.Labour had spent too much. This format is different to where you
:27:46. > :27:49.have seven party leaders arguing and shouting over each other. Here the
:27:50. > :27:54.politicians have to deal with people'sexperiences and it can be
:27:55. > :27:56.harder to fob them. Sound bites will not do. Many thanks.
:27:57. > :27:59.That Question Time Special is tonight and kicks off at 8.30pm
:28:00. > :28:09.Thousands of football fans will be in Cardiff this weekend
:28:10. > :28:11.for the final of this season's Uefa Champions League .
:28:12. > :28:13.Italian side Juventus will play Real Madrid.
:28:14. > :28:16.Organisers say they expect an audience of 100s of millions
:28:17. > :28:23.Our Correspondent Richard Conway is in Cardiff.
:28:24. > :28:32.Cardiff is the home of champions this week. Last night Leon were
:28:33. > :28:36.crowned winners for the fourth time in the women's showcase final but
:28:37. > :28:44.only after a nervy penalty shoot out. -- Lyon. On Saturday the men's
:28:45. > :28:48.final sea Juventus and Real Madrid going head-to-head to lift the top
:28:49. > :28:55.prize in European football. For Gareth Bale of the Druid a
:28:56. > :28:59.homecoming to savour. -- of Real Madrid. He is facing up to the
:29:00. > :29:03.prospect of not starting this match, given his recent return from injury.
:29:04. > :29:09.I have been working hard on fitness. I am not match fit. Whether the
:29:10. > :29:13.manager thinks that might be a problem, it may be so, and if I have
:29:14. > :29:19.to be on the bench and come off the bench to make an impact that is what
:29:20. > :29:23.I will have to do. The final will be played amidst tight security after
:29:24. > :29:28.the Manchester attack that killed 22 concert goers. The roof will be
:29:29. > :29:33.closed as a precaution and organisers remind fans to arrive
:29:34. > :29:36.early and not to bring bags. The wafer president is confident
:29:37. > :29:43.everything is being done to ensure a safe environment. The problem is
:29:44. > :29:47.that the stadiums are secured and safe. There are many people in the
:29:48. > :29:55.street. We have to be cautious about it. We have to be connected to the
:29:56. > :30:01.police, local police, intelligence agencies, and we are doing that.
:30:02. > :30:04.He's our teams with fan bases that stretch beyond national borders. It
:30:05. > :30:11.seems the world is looking to Wales this weekend. It is going to be hard
:30:12. > :30:16.for Real Madrid but I hope they win and to have a good experience. I
:30:17. > :30:19.think both will score but Juventus will get it in the end.
:30:20. > :30:24.Opportunities to host the Champions League final do not come around
:30:25. > :30:26.often and Cardiff is determined to make every moment count on its own
:30:27. > :30:36.big day. Mostly good news this weekend. A lot
:30:37. > :30:46.of fine weather around if you do not mind a shower or two. This is a
:30:47. > :30:50.useful picture from Scotland. A wetter picture from Manchester.
:30:51. > :30:54.There is rain around today with a weather front crossing the UK. This
:30:55. > :30:59.is the weekend summary. Sunshine and showers. This is the satellite
:31:00. > :31:05.picture. This is low-pressure sending fresh air in our direction.
:31:06. > :31:10.This is the weather front crossing the UK and it has brought fresh
:31:11. > :31:15.whether to many parts of the country with spots of rain. This is where we
:31:16. > :31:20.have the Atlantic air. The south-east and East Anglia holding
:31:21. > :31:30.on to the warmth from yesterday. Today, still humid with temperatures
:31:31. > :31:35.up to 26. They could be thunder and lightning on the way. Further north,
:31:36. > :31:40.the Northwest, Scotland, Northern Ireland, temperatures some 10
:31:41. > :31:45.degrees lower, but overall a fine day with sunshine and scattered
:31:46. > :31:50.showers. This evening a couple of showers. Later tonight they could be
:31:51. > :31:54.rain in East Anglia and maybe East Yorkshire and as far north as
:31:55. > :32:02.eastern Scotland. Western and far north Scotland, pretty cold tonight
:32:03. > :32:08.and in some rural areas as cool is 5 degrees. Tomorrow we have fresh
:32:09. > :32:13.Atlantic air. Almost across all of the UK. The south-east in the
:32:14. > :32:20.morning and afternoon may be warm and humid. For most, high teens.
:32:21. > :32:27.Sunny spells and some showers. Most showers on Saturday and Sunday will
:32:28. > :32:31.be across western areas. Showers getting into Scotland and Northern
:32:32. > :32:35.Ireland. The best weather will be in eastern areas. There will be a
:32:36. > :32:41.breeze during the weekend. We will change gear completely. This does
:32:42. > :32:48.not look pretty, early next week. We are watching potentially a nasty
:32:49. > :32:52.low-pressure reaching the British Isles. Unusual for the time of year.
:32:53. > :32:59.That means heavy rain and very strong winds during Monday. Let's
:33:00. > :33:02.enjoy the weekend of sunshine and showers and bear in mind that early
:33:03. > :33:08.next week there could be rough weather on the way.
:33:09. > :33:18.A reminder of the main story. The Conservative candidate for South
:33:19. > :33:21.Thanet has been charged with overspending in the 2015 general
:33:22. > :33:27.election campaign. Craig Mackinlay has said he has done nothing wrong
:33:28. > :33:30.and is confident of being acquitted.
