:00:22. > :00:27.Donald Trump's decision to take America out of the Paris
:00:28. > :00:29.climate treaty has provoked a row about the nature
:00:30. > :00:34.I spoke to President Trump again last night, I made it clear
:00:35. > :00:37.that the UK would have wanted the United States to have stayed
:00:38. > :00:40.within the Paris Agreement and that we continue to support
:00:41. > :00:47.Given the chance to present a united front from our international
:00:48. > :00:50.partners, she's instead opted for silence and - once again -
:00:51. > :00:55.And in another campaign development - the Conservative candidate
:00:56. > :00:58.in South Thanet has been charged over expenses claimed
:00:59. > :01:05.Also tonight - police investigating the Manchester bombing evacuate
:01:06. > :01:11.The bomb squad is sent in after a car is found -

:01:16. > :01:18.Prince William travels to Manchester to meet some of the police officers
:01:19. > :01:20.who were first on the scene after the suicide bombing

:02:02. > :02:04.and Jeremy Corbyn will take part in the BBC Question
:02:05. > :02:19.The audience, as we can tell, are already here. About 150 of them
:02:20. > :02:23.drawn from every part of the UK, representing different strands of
:02:24. > :02:29.public and political opinion. The event begins in 2.5 hours' time, at
:02:30. > :02:30.8:30pm, and chaired by David Dimbleby.
:02:31. > :02:33.And it takes place less than 24 hours after Donald Trump's decision
:02:34. > :02:36.to take America out of the Paris climate treaty.
:02:37. > :02:38.Mrs May has been accused by opponents of a 'pathetic'
:02:39. > :02:40.response, given her refusal to back a strongly-worded response
:02:41. > :02:44.The Prime Minister said she was 'disappointed'
:02:45. > :02:46.by the president's decision, which he said had been dictated
:02:47. > :02:50.Jeremy Corbyn said the decision was 'reckless and dangerous'.
:02:51. > :02:59.Our deputy political editor John Pienaar has more details.
:03:00. > :03:01.Putting America first, it's his slogan.
:03:02. > :03:03.But there is outrage Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the
:03:04. > :03:09.international treaty signed in Paris and tackle climate change.
:03:10. > :03:11.I was elected to represent the citizens of
:03:12. > :03:19.The backlash has been strong, not just on his doorstep.
:03:20. > :03:22.World leaders are united against him and it spilled into Britain's
:03:23. > :03:26.Theresa May, like many leaders, sees global warming
:03:27. > :03:34.Out campaigning today, she explained
:03:35. > :03:36.she told President Trump by phone of her disappointment.
:03:37. > :03:38.She has also defended her decision not to join
:03:39. > :03:45.European leaders in signing a statement condemning him.
:03:46. > :03:47.I made the UK's position clear to President
:03:48. > :03:51.Trump last week at the G7 meeting, as did the other G7 leaders, and I
:03:52. > :03:53.made the UK's position clear to President Trump last night.
:03:54. > :03:55.Canada and Japan have not signed that letter,
:03:56. > :03:59.neither has the UK, but we all have the same view at we remain
:04:00. > :04:02.neither has the UK, but we all have the same view that we remain
:04:03. > :04:06.That was more than enough cause for Jeremy Corbyn, also out in York
:04:07. > :04:19.Donald Trump's decision to pull the United States
:04:20. > :04:21.out of the Paris climate change deal is reckless
:04:22. > :04:25.And to depict the Prime Minister too weak to stand up
:04:26. > :04:28.She has instead opted for silence and once again
:04:29. > :04:32.It is a dereliction of both her duty to this
:04:33. > :04:37.What could you do as a British Prime Minister to materially change
:04:38. > :04:41.Would I meet and host Donald Trump in Downing Street?
:04:42. > :04:53.I would even offer him some Yorkshire tea!
:04:54. > :04:56.The Paris Treaty committed nations to work to cut
:04:57. > :05:03.It was seen by signatories, then including America as a breakthrough.
:05:04. > :05:05.Politicians from China to Europe are in step
:05:06. > :05:14.World leaders are speaking out strongly.
:05:15. > :05:16.TRANSLATION: The decision from the US to withdraw
:05:17. > :05:22.from the UN climate accord is very regrettable in dim thematic terms.
:05:23. > :05:27.The Paris agreement is a cornerstone among the nations of this world.
:05:28. > :05:31.After the announcement of the US administration, we have to look
:05:32. > :05:35.The US decision can't and won't stop all those
:05:36. > :05:44.of us who feel obliged to protect this planet.
:05:45. > :05:46.Here, the spat translated to wrangling between
:05:47. > :05:52.parties on either side of the divide opened by the US president.
:05:53. > :05:55.Unlike almost every other Western world leader including Theresa May,
:05:56. > :05:57.he sticks to what he promises he would do.
:05:58. > :06:00.Donald Trump needs to be condemned in the
:06:01. > :06:02.strongest possible terms for this reckless and frankly economically
:06:03. > :06:09.The set is nearly ready for the two contenders
:06:10. > :06:11.to head a freshly elected government after next
:06:12. > :06:12.Thursday to make their case to
:06:13. > :06:16.Climate change is obviously a huge issue, though the
:06:17. > :06:18.environment has never been the top priority of most voters
:06:19. > :06:24.Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn's rival claims to lead
:06:25. > :06:32.Britain will be tested here on the set of the BBC's Question Time
:06:33. > :06:35.Leaders' Special programme tonight in front of a live audience.
:06:36. > :06:38.Theresa May will be hoping that her credit
:06:39. > :06:41.with voters remains strong, after what has been an occasionally
:06:42. > :06:43.It is Jeremy Corbyn's opportunity to gain ground.
:06:44. > :06:46.A lot of people make up their minds in the final
:06:47. > :06:52.A point scored or lost here later tonight might,
:06:53. > :07:03.Let's stay with the response to President Trump's decision.
:07:04. > :07:05.Our science editor David Shukman is at the Thames Barrier,
:07:06. > :07:07.one of the largest flood barriers in the world.
:07:08. > :07:14.David, tell us about the science community and what they have said
:07:15. > :07:17.today? Yes, I am at the Thames Barrier, the great structure that
:07:18. > :07:21.keeps London safe from flooding. The concern here is that bit by bit,
:07:22. > :07:25.year by year, the level of the sea is rising because of global warming.
:07:26. > :07:28.It is one of many reasons why scientists here in Britain and
:07:29. > :07:33.around the world are so worried about what Donald Trump has done.
:07:34. > :07:37.They point to decades of research, all suggesting that in future rising
:07:38. > :07:40.temperatures will increase the risks Earth damaging weather events.
:07:41. > :07:47.Number droughts, severe heat waves and rising seas. So where does that
:07:48. > :07:50.leave us? Nobody says that the Paris Agreement is the answer to
:07:51. > :07:54.everything but say it is the start of a pathway, a journey towards the
:07:55. > :07:59.objective of sorting out the problem. Without America, that is
:08:00. > :08:06.clearly going to be very much harder and will take a great deal longer.
:08:07. > :08:11.David, thank you very much. David Shukman with his thoughts at the
:08:12. > :08:15.Thames Barrier. Earlier today, as Mrs May and Mr Corbyn were making
:08:16. > :08:18.their final preparations for tonight's event here at the
:08:19. > :08:29.University of yorked... that the Conservative candidate
:08:30. > :08:34.in South Thanet in Kent, Craig Mackinlay, along
:08:35. > :08:36.with two party workers , have been charged for allegedly
:08:37. > :08:38.filing false expenses , during the last election
:08:39. > :08:40.campaign , two years ago. The Conservatives say they believe
:08:41. > :08:42.the allegations are unfounded. Our home affairs correspondent
:08:43. > :08:48.Daniel Sandford is in Yes, the people of Ramsgate and the
:08:49. > :08:50.other Kent seaside towns that make up the constituency of South Thanet
:08:51. > :08:52.find themselves in an extraordinary position tonight. One of the main
:08:53. > :08:54.candidates is now facing criminal charges for allegedly breaking the
:08:55. > :09:06.rules in the previous campaign... In the 2015 general election, the
:09:07. > :09:08.voters of South Thanet were deluged by conservative campaigners,
:09:09. > :09:13.desperate to keep the seat from Nigel Farage. Their candidate posed
:09:14. > :09:21.with every member of the front bench that he could find. Craig
:09:22. > :09:25.Mackinlay... The Tories won, just. But today, Craig Mackinlay was
:09:26. > :09:30.charged with filing false expenses for the campaign. So was his agent,
:09:31. > :09:34.Nathan Gray, and senior campaigner Marion Little, OBE, has been charged
:09:35. > :09:38.with aiding and abetting them. This was the moment this morning when
:09:39. > :09:44.Nigel Farage heard the news. You are joking? My good lord. Right, that is
:09:45. > :09:48.big news. Thank you. Craig Mackinlay has just been charged. Once again it
:09:49. > :09:52.is bad judgment from Theresa May. Why on earth would you allow someone
:09:53. > :09:56.to go ahead as a general election candidate with this cloud that was
:09:57. > :10:00.clearly hanging over him? At the heart of the case is the thousands
:10:01. > :10:04.of pounds the Conservatives spent on hotels, like the Royal Harbour in
:10:05. > :10:07.Ramsgate. This was paid for by the National
:10:08. > :10:11.party but a police investigation as to whether they should have been on
:10:12. > :10:15.Craig Mackinlay's individual election costs has now led to these
:10:16. > :10:19.criminal charges. The Conservative Party continues to believe that
:10:20. > :10:23.these allegations are unfounded. Craig Mackinlay is innocent until
:10:24. > :10:24.proven guilty and remains our candidate. In a statement, Craig
:10:25. > :10:36.Mackinlay said... He will continue to campaign to be
:10:37. > :10:41.re-elected, though just being charged does not disqualify you from
:10:42. > :10:42.becoming an MP. His first court appearance is in July.
:10:43. > :10:51.Daniel Sandford, BBC News, Ramsgate. Here at the University of York Laura
:10:52. > :10:56.Kuenssberg joins me. Looking forward to Question Time this evening, a
:10:57. > :10:59.range of subjects could come up. The Trump issue on climate is one of
:11:00. > :11:05.them? That may well be raised, there has been a sharp attack from Labour
:11:06. > :11:09.on Theresa May already today in expressing disappointment in a phone
:11:10. > :11:12.call to the president rather than taking the firm public stand and
:11:13. > :11:17.joining in the anger on display from other world leaders. It's not really
:11:18. > :11:22.been an issue in the campaign but it is a subject important to a lot of
:11:23. > :11:26.voters. It feeds into some accusations levelled against Theresa
:11:27. > :11:30.May before, about cosying up to Donald Trump right at the start,
:11:31. > :11:33.when she took over as Prime Minister. Seen holding hands with
:11:34. > :11:36.him as they left a White House press conference, and I think it is that
:11:37. > :11:42.which makes her slightly vulnerable on this. These may be things put to
:11:43. > :11:46.the audience tonight. With six days to go, just some thoughts on what
:11:47. > :11:49.each of the leaders has in store tonight in terms of what they need
:11:50. > :11:53.to do? I think they need to do the same thing. Firstly, they cannot
:11:54. > :11:58.drop a terrible clanger! They are being put on the spot by members of
:11:59. > :12:02.the public, by voters and being seen by millions of voters, including
:12:03. > :12:11.undecided people, who have not made their minds up yet. The first goal
:12:12. > :12:13.is not to get through unscathed, get through looking confident and
:12:14. > :12:17.assured. Therefore, trying to send out a strong message to the public
:12:18. > :12:21.that they are, in different ways, ready for the job. Of course,
:12:22. > :12:26.particularly for Jeremy Corbyn who despite the more buoyant mood in
:12:27. > :12:36.the Labour camps, for him and for Theresa May, the ideal scenario is
:12:37. > :12:40.to put through a stellar performance that lifts the perception beyond
:12:41. > :12:42.where it currently lies. The stakes are high for both of them
:12:43. > :12:48.which is why they have been squirrelled away prepping with their
:12:49. > :12:53.teams for most of the day. Thank you. That is on at 8:30pm on
:12:54. > :12:58.BBC One, David Dimbleby will be chairing that Question Time special,
:12:59. > :13:02.the audience is settling in with a little over two hours to go.
:13:03. > :13:07.Looking forward to an interesting exchange when that happens. With
:13:08. > :13:09.that, from York, let's get back to the studio. STUDIO: Thank you.
:13:10. > :13:12.Police in Manchester have sent a bomb disposal unit into a street
:13:13. > :13:15.near the university campus after finding a car they say
:13:16. > :13:17.could prove to be a significant development in the investigation
:13:18. > :13:21.Detectives are still trying to trace the movements of Salman Abedi before
:13:22. > :13:23.he carried out the attack at Manchester Arena,
:13:24. > :13:27.Today, Prince William visited the city to meet some of the injured
:13:28. > :13:29.and the police officers who were first on the scene.
:13:30. > :13:36.Our Home Affairs correspondent June Kelly reports.
:13:37. > :13:42.A significant development in this terrorist investigation. It could
:13:43. > :13:47.be, say the police. This afternoon, the bomb squad were back in an area
:13:48. > :13:50.of South Manchester which has become a key location for detectives.
:13:51. > :13:54.Salman Abedi is said to have been here.
:13:55. > :13:58.Parked close to these trees is a white Nissan Micra, left here.
:13:59. > :14:03.Today, the car became a focus for police. A chord and went up, and
:14:04. > :14:15.people, including a lot of students, had to leave their homes. -- a
:14:16. > :14:18.police cordon. This morning, police came rushing in, evacuating us from
:14:19. > :14:21.the house, telling us there was a bomb scare. It was overwhelming. I
:14:22. > :14:24.have exams in two days. I have left everything in their. It is affecting
:14:25. > :14:30.my studies in a way. In the last couple of weeks, residents here have
:14:31. > :14:34.grown used to the police tape and offices outside of their doors.
:14:35. > :14:38.Detectives are trying to plot Salman Abedi's last days as he finalised
:14:39. > :14:44.his plan to kill and injure scores of concertgoers. New images of him
:14:45. > :14:49.have been released, as he moved around his home town, often with his
:14:50. > :14:54.blue suitcase, knowing that he was soon going to die. There is still a
:14:55. > :14:58.feeling of fullness in the city as it welcomes high-profile visitors.
:14:59. > :15:05.Today, the Duke of Cambridge met a police officer, Michael Buckley, who
:15:06. > :15:08.was off duty and tended to the injure -- injured while he tried to
:15:09. > :15:12.find his own daughter. William said it was horrendous, and
:15:13. > :15:14.away from the cameras, he made a private visit to see some of the
:15:15. > :15:19.injured. Manchester is now preparing for this
:15:20. > :15:23.weekend's benefit concert, where there will be stringent security.
:15:24. > :15:27.The appeal is firstly to not drive here. Use the facilities that we
:15:28. > :15:31.have put on for free. Secondly, do not bring a bag. If you
:15:32. > :15:35.can avoid it, do not bring a bag as it will slow procedures down.
:15:36. > :15:39.A massive security challenge for police on Sunday and a poignant
:15:40. > :15:43.return for many concertgoers. And a reminder this afternoon of all
:15:44. > :15:47.that has been lost, with the announcement that the inquest on the
:15:48. > :15:51.victims will open one week today. June Kelly, BBC News, Manchester.
:15:52. > :15:55.Final preparations are under way as Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn
:15:56. > :15:57.prepare to face a Question Time audience tonight.
:15:58. > :16:02.Why leading surgeons are warning that more and more patients
:16:03. > :16:04.will have to wait for an operation for long periods
:16:05. > :16:14.Nine-time champion Rafael Nadal had no trouble moving into

:16:37. > :16:38.the son of an Indian immigrant and Ireland's
:16:39. > :16:41.first openly gay minister - has been voted in as the new leader
:16:42. > :16:44.of Fine Gael - the biggest party in Ireland's ruling coalition.
:16:45. > :16:47.It means he will replace Enda Kenny as Taoiseach in the coming weeks.
:16:48. > :16:53.Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler is in Dublin.
:16:54. > :17:00.There are several stages of counts which have to take face in this
:17:01. > :17:04.election for the new Fine Gael leadership. However, the first count
:17:05. > :17:13.is in and we are expecting the final one to be announced in the next
:17:14. > :17:17.matter of minutes. They believe they can re-energise them and supporters
:17:18. > :17:31.say he is a very modern Taoiseach for a very modern Ireland. Leo
:17:32. > :17:36.Varadkar's name has long been linked with leadership of Ireland.
:17:37. > :17:39.Two years ago he came out as gay, ahead of a referendum on the
:17:40. > :17:41.introduction of same-sex marriage in Ireland.
:17:42. > :17:43.And he celebrated the yes vote on stage.
:17:44. > :17:45.A moment for him both personally and politically.

:17:49. > :17:49.Vadakar's father was an Indian immigrant,
:17:50. > :17:52.a doctor who married an Irish nurse, and he made his name
:17:53. > :17:56.in the difficult position of Health Minister.
:17:57. > :18:00.Many of you knocking on doors in the local elections had to trip
:18:01. > :18:03.over water meters to knock on doors to explain why the government had
:18:04. > :18:05.taken a medical card away from their disabled child.
:18:06. > :18:08.That will never happen under my leadership of Fine Gael.
:18:09. > :18:11.But becoming Taoiseach brings new challenges.
:18:12. > :18:19.Ireland's economy may have emerged from the time
:18:20. > :18:22.of bank crises and bailouts, however, it is preparing for Brexit,

:18:30. > :18:31.to the British government, on the EU side

:24:45. > :25:00.weather. In the last few hours, talking about
:25:01. > :25:04.showers, we have had some very nasty downpours, particularly across
:25:05. > :25:07.south-eastern parts of the UK. Really powerful thunderstorms have
:25:08. > :25:12.been developing with very heavy rain causing some flash flooding in
:25:13. > :25:15.places. Across this portion of the country, East Anglia and ethics
:25:16. > :25:20.northwards, north London Northwoods, we could seek further nasty weather.
:25:21. > :25:25.Take it steady if you are travelling. Through the evening and
:25:26. > :25:31.overnight these storms will die away. A few spits and spots of rain.
:25:32. > :25:36.Western areas of the UK will have clear skies. It will be chilly in
:25:37. > :25:41.the countryside. Here is Saturday, looking good for most of us. Lots of
:25:42. > :25:44.sunny spells around. Clear blue skies in places. There will be a
:25:45. > :25:49.sprinkling of showers here and there. Most of them across Scotland,
:25:50. > :25:53.Northern Ireland and towards Wales and the West. If you have got a
:25:54. > :25:58.barbecue planned, it is not looking bad for tomorrow afternoon and
:25:59. > :26:05.evening. Sunday, a fairly similar day, more showers on the horizon.
:26:06. > :26:09.Some affecting western parts of the UK. Temperatures typically around 17
:26:10. > :26:17.or 18 degrees. It is all change for next week. Monday, we could see a
:26:18. > :26:22.pretty nasty area of low pressure heading our way. There could be some
:26:23. > :26:27.very heavy rain and strong winds. For the next few days we have a
:26:28. > :26:30.relatively quiet weekend on the way. Then we are watching for the
:26:31. > :26:35.potential of some very heavy rain and strong winds sometime on Monday.
:26:36. > :26:45.With less than a week to go before the general election, Theresa May
:26:46. > :26:49.and Jeremy Corbyn prepared to face a Question Time audience. You can
