This is Breakfast on Friday the 2nd of June. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
The main headline this morning: | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
International condemnation for President Trump | :00:13. | :00:13. | |
after he pulls America out of the Paris agreement | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
Theresa May has told the President she's disappointed | :00:16. | :00:28. | |
with his decision, while European leaders said there'd | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
We all share the same sponsor ability. Make our planet great | :00:31. | :00:46. | |
again. Good morning. There are just six | :00:47. | :01:10. | |
days to go until the general election and we have bought the sofa | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
to Scotland's ancient capital, Dunfermline. What does the politics | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
mean for the money in our pockets and how does that affect how people | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
vote in six days' time? We have come to meet local voters and local | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
businesses to find out what it means for them. Matt is also here with the | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
weather. Good morning. I am in the grounds of Dunfermline Abbey finding | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
out what place it plays in the town's history. Brighter and fresher | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
conditions on the way and that lasts into the weekend. I will tell you | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
what that means for you in 15 minutes. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
We are in the historic surgery of Dunfermline in the Kingdom of Fife. | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
Let me set the scene will be here all morning with the sofa talking to | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
voters and politicians about the issues that matter to them six days | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
ahead of the general election. You will see in the background, Lars, a | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
historian. You'll be teaching us about Robert the Bruce who is buried | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
here. Also this was home to Charles I. Charles I, Charles VI, I will | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
explain later. He will take us through the history. We will | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
hopefully guide you through the issues that matter to people here. | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
Then is in the batty van. He will be cooking up, I think, Sam Lorne | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
sausage and Sam tattie scorns, later. -- butty van. One of the | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
reasons we are here, over the last three elections glad this | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
constituency has seen a Lib Dem leadership, a Labour leadership and | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
the SNP leadership. It is constituencies like this that could | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
make such a closely fought election. We'll be talking about migration. We | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
will be talking about Scottish independence and we will hear what | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
it is like for everyday folk and what they are like ahead of the | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
general election. Also some music. We want to hear what issues matter | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
to you and what we should be talking about. You can get in touch on the | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
website, or you can get in touch with us on Twitter and Facebook. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Time for the news from Charlie. I will be with you all morning as | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
well. I think the sun will shine. Matt will keep us updated as well. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Theresa May has expressed her disappointment over | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
President Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
In a phone call with Mr Trump, the Prime Minister stressed that | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Britain remains committed to the agreement. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
Our North America correspondent, David Willis, has more. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
He had promised this to the people who voted him into office. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Nonetheless, it was a momentous announcement and one | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
which drew swift condemnation from around the world. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
As president, I have one obligation, and that obligation | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
President Trump believes in a nutshell that the powers Accord | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
impedes his ability to restore jobs to parts of the American heartland, | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
blighted by the move away from fossil fuels, | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
Time, in his view, to put America first. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
A philosophy summed up in one short phrase. | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris. | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
Pittsburgh's mayor, Bill Peduto, swiftly responded, saying his city | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
considered the heart of the American steel industry, actually | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
Donald Trump had previously said global warning was a hoax | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
He is now saying he'd be willing to renegotiate the Paris Accord, | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
albeit on terms more favourable to the US, European leaders want | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
France will not give up the fight. I reaffirm that the Paris agreement | :05:15. | :05:34. | |
remains irreversible and will be implemented. Not just by France, but | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
by all the other nations. Those gathered outside | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
the White House to protest President's decision believed | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
the departure of the second largest polluter on the planet | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
will have a dramatic impact Donald Trump believes his decision | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
represents an assertion of American sovereignty whilst his critics | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
believe it is precisely Let's get some reaction. Now our | :06:00. | :06:16. | |
political correspondent. It is not that often that a British Prime | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Minister is so publicly and directly opposed to a US president. That is | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
right. Downing Street said President Trump called Theresa May and that is | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
when she expressed her disappointment at his decision. She | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
said the UK remains committed to Paris, which she said was the right | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
framework. There has been criticism from opposition parties that Theresa | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
May was not more forceful in her condemnation. Labour says, this is a | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
derelict of duty on the part of Theresa May not to try to persuade | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Donald Trump to think again. They are calling it an act of global | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
generational vandalism. The Lib Dems are saying if the special | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
relationship means anything, this is exactly the time when Theresa May | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
should be able to use her influence over President Trump to try to | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
persuade him to make a different decision. The Government says we are | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
taking a different approach to how we express our opinion. Now for the | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
response from China. Very publicly, China is on board with this project. | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
What has the reaction been? Beijing has not explicitly criticise Donald | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Trump yet for pulling out of the Paris deal but said, you want to | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
pull out of it, we will stand by Europe and other nations and will | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
charge ahead with it. Having a look at the newspapers here... Same | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
images, very different to the images of Donald Trump at the Nato summit | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
last week. If anyone is under any illusion as to the wider impact of | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
this, you can see there could be greater geostrategic changes in | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
terms of China taking on leadership change, alongside Europe, Britain, | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
Australia, other nations and pushing ahead with this climate deal. Thank | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
you very much. More on that story throughout the programme. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
The Conservatives have denied their immigration | :08:31. | :08:31. | |
policy is in confusion, after Theresa May suggested | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
she wanted net migration to be reduced to under a hundred | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, said it was no more than an aim. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Our Political Correspondent, Gary O'Donoghue reports. | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
Cutting the overall immigration numbers to the tens of thousands has | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
been Conservative policy for seven years. | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
But it's proved incredibly hard to achieve. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Last year, the population increased due to immigration went up by almost | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
With around 175,000 of those people coming from outside the EU, | :08:55. | :09:06. | |
the group over which Britain already has full control. | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
The tens of thousands targeted again in the Conservative manifesto. | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
Yesterday, a Home Office minister appeared to put one on it. | :09:11. | :09:30. | |
You are saying tens of thousands in five years' time? | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
Over the course of the Parliament, yes. | :09:34. | :09:34. | |
EU and non-EU, down to tens of thousands? | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
We want to see migration levels coming down to sustainable levels, | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
of thousands, over the course of the next Parliament. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
Those comments were put to Theresa May while she was out campaigning. | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
She was asked the question whether the target would be down | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
to tens of thousands in five years, to which she said that's | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
But there was a different emphasis from the Brexit | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
Are you saying it is Tory Party policy if you're re-elected | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
as the Government next Thursday to get it down to 100,000 within | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
We can't promise within five years, that's the thing. | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
Downing Street has denied there is any confusion | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
or disagreement over the timetable but, even the appearance | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
of a different is not what Mrs May needs in her last | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
Campaigning in York, Jelly called also the Labour government will pump | :10:19. | :10:35. | |
?250 million into industry. Vince Cable believes both Labour and the | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Tories have turned their backs on business and warns trade could drop | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
by a third following Britain's to force from the EU. | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
The Met Police say they have so far found no records of any calls | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
to the Anti-Terrorist hotline in relation to the Manchester | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
bomber, despite a number of people saying they had reported concerns | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
It comes as Greater Manchester Police have released new CCTV | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
footage, showing Abedi in the city in the four days leading | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
Detectives say they're now concentrating their investigation | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
on the Rusholme area and are appealing for witnesses | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
More than 30 people are reported to have died at a casino | :11:09. | :11:18. | |
in the Philippines, where a gunman opened fire before killing himself. | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
The attacker also set fire to gaming tables. | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
Authorities say most of the people who lost their lives | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
Police had feared the attack was terrorist related, | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
but now suggest the motive was robbery. | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
The number of patients waiting from more than six months for routine | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
operations and treatment has tripled. | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
That's according to The Royal College of Surgeons which analysed | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
data from March 2013 - a time when targets were being met. | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
NHS England declined to respond directly to the six-month figures. | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
But a spokesperson has said "the NHS has cut the number of patients | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
waiting more than a year for treatment by nearly 13,000 | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
The Bulgarian linesman who failed to spot Diego Maradona's infamous | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
"hand of God" goal in the 1986 World Cup has died. | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
Many of you will remember how the Argentinan leapt to punch | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
the ball past Peter Shilton into the net, during the side's | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
Bogdan Dochev, who died at the age of 80, said | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
the incident stayed with him, his whole life. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
He described Maradona as a great footballer, but a small man - | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
With less than a week to go until the general election, | :12:35. | :12:52. | |
Our focus is on Scotland. The art in Dunfermline and Naga is there for | :12:53. | :13:04. | |
us. It is a rather lovely morning. We | :13:05. | :13:15. | |
crossed the Forth Bridge to see this historic home, the ancient capital | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
of Scotland. Also, home to goal. St Andrew's is just up the road. Two | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
men came from here, John Reid and Robert Lockhart. They first took the | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
game to the United States will do you know I was like to play a bit of | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
golf when I'm up there. See, one for each... Not bad at all. Two years in | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
Scotland was a political landslide. 56 of the 59 seats in Westminster | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
were won by the SNP. The Conservatives Lib Dems had one seat | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
each. Why are we here in Dunfermline in East Fife? It is a constituency | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
that has had the SNP, the Lib Dems and the Labour Party all rain over | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
the last three elections. Some history as wealth in May have | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
spotted this man dressed as Robert the Bruce was that this is where he | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
was buried. A history lesson for you as well for people very concerned | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
about what is happening. There are six days to the general election. We | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
have been asking what people feel strongly about. Butty van went to | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
Edinburgh and that is where we got some views. Let's talk about the | :14:31. | :14:44. | |
general election. My concern, and I am sure this is not uncommon, I | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
would rather have a Labour government than a Conservative | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
government. But I'm not comfortable endorsing Mr Corbyn as Prime | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
Minister. I prefer strawberry. I feel like the power is shifting away | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
from the Tories. Not everyone will fight that. I think I may be orange | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
this time. I prefer their environmental policies to those of | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
the others on offer. And also because I am not convinced that | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
Brexit is the right way to go. I have always been a socialist, a | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
Labour supporter, but I am definitely not a Jeremy Corbyn fan. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
How are you going to go to? Which bit of fruit fits you? The | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
strawberry. Even though you are not a Jeremy Corbyn found. I am not a | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
Jeremy Corbyn fan but I am even less of a Diane Abbott fan but I'm going | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
to vote for the party. I am a banana. I kind of believe what they | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
believe in. The SNP has faults but they do have a solid voice and they | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
speak for the majority people up here. I am not all about the | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
independence but supporting Scotland and looking after Scotland, I think | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
they are the right people. I would say the straw poll has been | :16:10. | :16:10. | |
fruitful. This is all about what you think as | :16:11. | :16:22. | |
an election. We are joined by a host of voters. Good morning. Let's find | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
out some views. Good morning to you from what are you passionate about? | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
Independence is a really big issue. How's that influenced your vote at | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
all? Have you changed party you might be voting for? Are you | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
undecided? I have considered voting Labour but I will vote SNP. We will | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
talk to the politicians from all the main parties. What is on your mind | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
ahead of the general election? I am on the same subject but with a | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
different point of view. The prospect of an independent | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
referendum is a big worry. We have had the referendum and made a | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
decision. The polls say that people don't want it. I want Mrs Sturgeon | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
to take it off the table. We will talk a lot more about independence. | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
It is a big issue in Scotland. And the whole idea of the independence | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
vote. What is going on in your mind? Any social issue. Social collusion | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
is a massive issue. Anything that affects social cohesion and the | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
impact of Brexit on small business. When you say that, you talking about | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
migration? I am talking about everything that influences how well | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
we get along as a group of people. It could be poverty or mental | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
health. Any issue that creates social unrest. Good morning. What is | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
playing on your mind ahead of the election? The key issues for me are | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
equality and the impact of poverty. I am a teacher at a local high | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
school. We are seeing every day pupils who are affected by | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
government cuts. As teachers, we are having to manage that and tried to | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
remove all barriers regarding education. It is a tricky job. We're | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
up for it. Others like to see what the other parties can offer to try | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
to help. Lots of views to get through, lots of issues to talk | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
about throughout the programme. Good morning. Certainly, this | :18:29. | :18:45. | |
morning, it is very peaceful. I am in the surroundings of Dunfermline | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
Abbey, a centrepiece to the city and a centrepiece to Scottish history. | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
It is the final resting place of Robert the Bruce. If we have a look | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
at this latest addition to the abbey, you can see his links to the | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
city are well and truly in place. There are grey skies overhead. A bit | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
of a dull start but things have brightened up. We have fresher | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
weather coming in from the West. Still humid in the east. To get from | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
one to the other we need a weather front. That stretches from eastern | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
Scotland done through north-west England and Wales will do this is | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
where we have rain in the next few hours. It is slowly pushing | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
eastwards. A fine start in western Scotland and Northern Ireland. The | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
rain will ease over the coming hours full bill be wet for a while across | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
north-west England. The rain pushing across the Pennines. Not only is it | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
drives start with low cloud and mysterious, it is a humid and murky | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
start. Temperatures approaching 20 degrees. It will not last all day | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
long. As we go through to the western half of the country, you can | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
see the rain is starting to pushing. That fragments as it goes eastwards. | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
As it comes into contact with rising temperatures in the south and east | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
we could see some nasty thunderstorms. Minor risk of | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
flooding. We could see temperatures reach 26-28. Much pressure and to | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
the day but pleasant enough in the sunshine. Into tonight, we will | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
continue to see a few showers across parts of central and eastern | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
England. The odd rumble of thunder across East Anglia and parts of | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
Kent. Most places will become dry. Pressure than the night just gone. | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
Temperatures down into single figures as you start the weekend. | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
Still muddy in the South east corner. Full Saturday, it looks like | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
some of the driest and brightest weather will be across parts of | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland will see frequent | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
showers develop. In between a bit of sunshine around. Is it enough when | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
the sunshine is out. Temperatures are down on recent days, probably | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
high teens at best. Same temperatures as we go into Sunday. | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
Recreate a chance in England and Wales seeing a few showers from west | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
to east parts of northern England and North Wales will get away with | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
the largely dry day on Sunday. Showers. In. We move into fresh | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
conditions as we go into the weekend and the start of next week. A | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
reasonable amount of sunshine as well. That is how it is looking. | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
Back to you. Not too much rain here in Durham | :21:39. | :21:50. | |
firm then. When voting in a Westminster election you must think | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
about devolution. Some of the powers to decide on the issues are down to | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
Holyrood. Those are the big issues that will affect people's lies. How | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
should devolved issues matter. Lorna Gordon has been to Stirling and has | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
been finding out. Sterling is a place | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
which is at the heart of the story of Scotland and a constituency | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
which reflects the history Over the last three decades, | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
people here went from sending a Conservative MP to Westminster, | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
to favouring Labour. Then, at the last election, | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
there was a big swing to the SNP. So, what issues do the hairdressing | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
students at Raploch Community Campus think that for them in this election | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
are cutting through? The working class, like I feel | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
the rich get richer Education and the National Health | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
Service has got to be stepped up. Next week's election will be | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
the seventh time Scots have gone Mark, who owns a bike shop believes | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
the question of what you are voting for and when and wheather the issues | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
are devolved or reserved, It's more complicated certainly | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
than it is in England. In England, basically you've got one | :23:12. | :23:25. | |
centre, here we have two. A lot of people aren't quite sure | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
where the power lies - either So you've got to know really exactly | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
where everything is before Have you made up your mind | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
about which way you are going Yes, I have and I shall be | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
voting Conservative. I seem to think that it's the party | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
for small businesses, So I feel more comfortable | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
with their policies. My heart has always been | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
more towards the Labour For many in Scotland, the choice | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
of independence or the Union But it's not always | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
as clear-cut as you'd think. I think I'm a mass of contradictions | :24:05. | :24:13. | |
because I am actually a member of the SNP, | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
but I'm not pro-independence. I'm an instinctive belonger, | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
I want to belong to the UK, Yeah, I'm slightly different in that | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
I am pro-Europe and I would rather Stirling is not a marginal, | :24:21. | :24:30. | |
the SNP has a big majority here. But this is a constituency | :24:31. | :24:39. | |
where the electorate has shown it's open to changing its mind and if, | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
and that's a big if, the seat changed hands again, | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
it might indicate yet another shift in Scotland's political | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
allegiances is underway. Lorna is with me now. How will | :24:52. | :25:10. | |
devolution affects the way that people vote? Strictly speaking, it | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
should not. Issues like health and education are decided at Holyrood | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
was whoever is elected to Westminster does not really have a | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
say about how those areas are run on the ground. Inevitably these areas | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
are cared about by voters. They influence the way they think. | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
Unionist parties in Scotland are, to a degree, using this general | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
election to try and attack the SNP on its record in government at | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
Westminster. The SNP, for their part, so there is much to be proud | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
of their record in this area. One issue we were talking about to | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
voters, we spoke to people in Edinburgh and all over. Migration | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
and Brexit. These will play quite highly in peoples lives. There are | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
elements of the argument that play in Scotland. I think it is more a | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
political argument than one that is uppermost in most voters minds. | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
Certainly Brexit is an issue. Up here, everyone I spoke to in | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
sterling, in that BT, had thoughts on it. The parties are positioning | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
themselves on it as well. The parties had strong views on it. | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
There are the three main Unionist parties who are very much opposed to | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
a second independence referendum. They are making it a campaigning | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
issue. Particularly the Conservatives and SNP saying, what | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
we would like, the SNP argues, is the second independence referendum | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
on the terms of the Brexit deal alone. You can hear them, can't you? | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
It is the Dunfermline and district hidebound. Dash pipe band. Now the | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
news, travel and weather where you are. | :27:10. | :30:33. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt here | :30:34. | :30:45. | |
in the studio, and Naga Munchetty is in Dunfermline. | :30:46. | :30:52. | |
Our focus is on Scotland and the general election campaign there. | :30:53. | :30:58. | |
We'll be back out there soon, but first a summary | :30:59. | :31:00. | |
Theresa May is disappointed with Donald Trump withdrawing America | :31:01. | :31:08. | |
from the Paris Accord. Our political correspondent, | :31:09. | :31:13. | |
Leila Nathoo, is in Westminster We have a phone call made by Donald | :31:14. | :31:23. | |
Trump to Theresa May in what appears to be a relatively frank discussion? | :31:24. | :31:28. | |
Theresa May told Donald Trump she was disappointed with his decision | :31:29. | :31:34. | |
and she stressed the UK was committed to remaining signed up to | :31:35. | :31:37. | |
Paris and about was the right framework. Although there was a | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
difference of opinion, there has been some criticism of Theresa May | :31:43. | :31:46. | |
that she wasn't more critical of Donald Trump's decision and didn't | :31:47. | :31:51. | |
try to use what influence she may have over Donald Trump to try to | :31:52. | :31:56. | |
persuade him to change his mind. Labour said it was a dereliction of | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
duty on her behalf and they are causing Donald Trump's decision an | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
act of global environmental vandalism. They say we have a | :32:06. | :32:11. | |
special relationship and we should be able to tell Donald Trump like it | :32:12. | :32:19. | |
is. Labour say Theresa May cannot stand up to Donald Trump when she | :32:20. | :32:23. | |
said because of the need to stay close to the USA after Brexit. But | :32:24. | :32:30. | |
America said they did not join up today letter of condemnation. We'll | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
have more on that decision later in the programme. | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
The Conservatives have denied their immigration | :32:39. | :32:40. | |
policy is in confusion, after a minister played down Theresa | :32:41. | :32:42. | |
The Prime Minister appeared to signal her aim was to reduce net | :32:43. | :32:46. | |
migration to under 100,000 in the next five years. | :32:47. | :32:48. | |
But her Brexit Secretary David Davis sounded a more cautious note, | :32:49. | :32:51. | |
The Met Police say they have so far found no records of any calls | :32:52. | :32:56. | |
to the Anti-Terrorist hotline in relation to the Manchester | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
bomber, despite a number of people saying they had reported concerns | :33:00. | :33:01. | |
It comes as Greater Manchester Police have released new CCTV | :33:02. | :33:09. | |
footage, showing Abedi in the city in the four days leading | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
Detectives say they're now concentrating their investigation | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
on the Rusholme area and are appealing for witnesses | :33:18. | :33:19. | |
More than 30 people are reported to have died at a casino | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
in the Philippines, where a gunman opened fire before killing himself. | :33:25. | :33:27. | |
The attacker also set fire to gaming tables. | :33:28. | :33:30. | |
Authorities say most of the people who lost their lives | :33:31. | :33:33. | |
Police had feared the attack was terrorist related, but now | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
The number of patients waiting more than six months for routine | :33:39. | :33:46. | |
operations and treatment has nearly tripled over four years in England. | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
That's according to The Royal College of Surgeons, which analysed | :33:50. | :33:52. | |
data from March 2013, a time when targets were being met. | :33:53. | :33:55. | |
NHS England declined to respond directly to the six-month figures. | :33:56. | :33:57. | |
But a spokesperson has said "the NHS has cut the number of patients | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
waiting more than a year for treatment by nearly 13,000 | :34:02. | :34:03. | |
A ten month old boy has crawled to victory to be crowned | :34:04. | :34:17. | |
The competition, held every year in the capital Vilnius, | :34:18. | :34:26. | |
sees babies scramble across a five metre long red carpet, | :34:27. | :34:30. | |
It was touch and go for a while, but here is young Mykolas Pociunas | :34:31. | :34:38. | |
emerging victorious, with his mum waving a box of lego. | :34:39. | :34:48. | |
The question is, where was Mike Bushell when that competition was | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
going on? You should have been there. I love the fact that little | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
girl just sat down halfway through. The winner came storming through. | :35:00. | :35:07. | |
They were trying to entice them at the end with mobile phones and | :35:08. | :35:13. | |
remote controls. But is a sign of the times. | :35:14. | :35:20. | |
After an early set back, England's batsmen showed why | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
they are tipped to win their first global, 50-over trophy. | :35:25. | :35:27. | |
Joe Root made 133 not out against Bangladesh in this | :35:28. | :35:29. | |
opening match at the Oval, as the bookmakers' favourites | :35:30. | :35:32. | |
for the tournament, reached their target of 306 with 16 | :35:33. | :35:34. | |
Victory on Tuesday against New Zealand should secure a place | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
We're not the finished article, we're not a perfect team, | :35:39. | :35:41. | |
but we're definitely striving to get better all the time | :35:42. | :35:44. | |
and you know, it's a really enjoyable team to bat | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
So hopefully we can take a lot of confidence from today | :35:48. | :35:51. | |
And England should find out this morning if all-rounder | :35:52. | :36:10. | |
Chris Woakes will miss the rest of the tournament, | :36:11. | :36:11. | |
after he left the field after two overs yesterday, with a side strain. | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
It was a good day for Britain at the French Open yesterday, | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
with world number one Andy Murray, and Kyle Edmund, both booking | :36:19. | :36:20. | |
Murray had a tough battle, with the world number | :36:21. | :36:23. | |
He had to fight back after losing the opening set, | :36:24. | :36:29. | |
He'll face Huan Martin Del Potro, next. | :36:30. | :36:32. | |
He's obviously been very unfortunate with injuries | :36:33. | :36:34. | |
through his career and this year, he's had a lot of | :36:35. | :36:37. | |
If you look at the matches he's lost, it's been mainly | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
against the top guys very early on in the tournaments. | :36:42. | :36:44. | |
You know, I think deserves to be ranked higher than what he is, | :36:45. | :36:47. | |
so I'm expecting it to be very, very tough. | :36:48. | :36:54. | |
Edmund beat Argentine, Renzo Olivo, in straight sets | :36:55. | :36:56. | |
to progress into round three, in Paris for the first | :36:57. | :36:58. | |
He'll be up, against South African Kevin Anderson next. | :36:59. | :37:04. | |
While good sportsmanship was also flowing in Paris. | :37:05. | :37:06. | |
Nicolas Almagro was almost inconsolable, after he was forced | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
to retire with injury, and so opponent, Juan Martin Del | :37:11. | :37:12. | |
A man who knows a thing, or two about injuries. | :37:13. | :37:21. | |
Del Potro will play Andy Murray in the next round in a rematch | :37:22. | :37:25. | |
It was the goalkeepers who decided the women's Champions League in | :37:26. | :37:38. | |
Cardiff. It went to sudden death penalties. Well but Paris | :37:39. | :37:43. | |
Saint-Germain keeper put hers wide, she was then in goal as Lyon showed | :37:44. | :37:56. | |
how it was done. They have now done but trouble for two seasons running. | :37:57. | :38:03. | |
-- treble. President Trump has been widely | :38:04. | :38:08. | |
condemned by leaders around the world, after announcing | :38:09. | :38:10. | |
the United States is to withdraw from the Paris | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
agreement on climate-change. He made the decision despite several | :38:14. | :38:14. | |
appeals from the United Nations, arguing he wanted a deal that | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
didn't punish America. As president, I have one | :38:18. | :38:21. | |
obligation and that obligation The Paris Accord would | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, | :38:26. | :38:33. | |
weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risk | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries | :38:37. | :38:42. | |
of the world. But we will start to negotiate | :38:43. | :38:46. | |
and we'll see if we can Kate Andrews is a Republican | :38:47. | :38:58. | |
supporter based in the UK. She joins us now from our | :38:59. | :39:10. | |
Westminster studio. You could have condensed that speech | :39:11. | :39:25. | |
simply. I was elected to represent Pittsburgh and not Paris. He said | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
this was about the economy and the money in America? It was a good | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
line, but you could condense it down further because he has been saying | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
America first. That is what Donald Trump is going for, but is who he is | :39:39. | :39:44. | |
appealing to. He did a lot of polling in the state he had his | :39:45. | :39:50. | |
surprise winds, he couldn't have won without Wisconsin, Michigan, | :39:51. | :39:54. | |
Pennsylvania. Where those jobs are on the line. Independent reports | :39:55. | :39:57. | |
have suggested a few million jobs could be lost due to the Paris | :39:58. | :40:00. | |
agreement going from the West to different parts of the world. That | :40:01. | :40:04. | |
will be his perspective and that is the line he's trying to take. The | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
backlash against this has been huge and in many ways, quite rightly. | :40:09. | :40:14. | |
America choosing to pull out of an agreement 195 countries have signed | :40:15. | :40:20. | |
into has taken an isolationist attitude, one we haven't seen for | :40:21. | :40:23. | |
many decades. Over role in terms of the worldview, it makes America look | :40:24. | :40:29. | |
weaker. But to not understand where he's coming from and whether voters | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
are coming from is a big mistake because it relates to making changes | :40:35. | :40:39. | |
in the future to better protect the environment. To be a fly on the wall | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
in the phone call between Donald Trump and Theresa May. I understand | :40:44. | :40:49. | |
the words I am disappointed, came into it. Donald Trump doesn't care, | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
this is a bold decision, the always knew that most of the rest of the | :40:54. | :40:58. | |
world, outside of a couple of countries, would say, you have made | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
the wrong call? Yes, but coming from Britain in particular will go to his | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
heart a bit more. The special relationship is so key, not just to | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
Donald Trump, because he needs an ally somewhere, but historically, to | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
have the Prime Minister say she is disappointed in the president is a | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
tough blow. Then the other criticisms from France, Germany and | :41:22. | :41:24. | |
Italy play in the Donald Trump's HANS. Donald Trump has said I would | :41:25. | :41:32. | |
like to negotiate a better deal for America in his rhetoric. These | :41:33. | :41:36. | |
countries pushing back and saying, no more negotiations does play into | :41:37. | :41:41. | |
his hands and he said it is a bad deal for America. I am not fully | :41:42. | :41:45. | |
convinced it is a bad deal for America, much of the agreement | :41:46. | :41:51. | |
wasn't legally binding and the US did have more room to play than he | :41:52. | :41:55. | |
is letting on. I am disappointed to see him make this move. It is | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
incredibly isolationist when he should be reaching out across the | :42:01. | :42:07. | |
world. On these Pittsburgh miners come he kept going back to those | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
people, that he represents, it may be a little harder to explain to | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
them this doesn't kick in for four years, which time he will be a | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
pre-election. The reality of this decision isn't quite as easy as the | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
rhetoric? You are right, during the next election cycle, which is so | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
horrible to think about, this'll be a big deal. You can be certain the | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
Democrat candidate will be using it say we need to get back into this | :42:38. | :42:42. | |
agreement. Donald Trump will have to convince his voter base he will | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
deliver. It will not happen right away. Donald Trump likes to get big | :42:46. | :42:56. | |
winds quickly. It will be a sticking point him. Thank you very much. We | :42:57. | :42:58. | |
will be talking more about that decision throughout the programme | :42:59. | :42:59. | |
this morning. With less than a week | :43:00. | :43:00. | |
until Britain goes to the polls, Breakfast is on the road talking | :43:01. | :43:03. | |
to voters across the UK. The Bertie van, going over the Forth | :43:04. | :43:22. | |
Bridge in Scotland. Good morning. You caught me practising. This is | :43:23. | :43:29. | |
the home of golf. Scotland's ancient capital, this is Dunfermline, | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
steeped in history. Who better to tell us more than Lars cup, | :43:34. | :43:40. | |
historian. You dress up as Robert the Bruce. Why is he so important | :43:41. | :43:45. | |
here? He is buried here. This is his last resting place. He wanted to be | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
buried in the last resting place of many of Scotland's kings. | :43:52. | :43:59. | |
Dunfermline to history is one of the most important places. It is the | :44:00. | :44:06. | |
last resting place of Andrew Carnegie. Why is he important. He | :44:07. | :44:11. | |
was born here and went to America when he was 12. It is a typical lab | :44:12. | :44:19. | |
that when good and became a leading industrialist in America. In | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
America, he is revered because he led the American dream. I do enjoy | :44:24. | :44:30. | |
my history lessons, Kings were born here as well? Charles the first. His | :44:31. | :44:38. | |
father James the sixth went to become James the first. The place is | :44:39. | :44:44. | |
steeped in history. Lots of kings and queens buried here as well. And | :44:45. | :44:49. | |
at the cathedral where the weather is being done fun, lots of history? | :44:50. | :44:55. | |
Yes, it was founded by Saint Margaret, she brought the European | :44:56. | :44:58. | |
Christianity to Scotland when she fled from those horrible people down | :44:59. | :45:09. | |
south. Her son, David the first founded a number of monasteries | :45:10. | :45:13. | |
throughout Scotland. That probably being the centrepiece. How warm is | :45:14. | :45:21. | |
it in that costume? It is very warm. Let's see how the weather is. Dreek. | :45:22. | :45:42. | |
Anyway, let's get on with where we are at the moment. Just been hearing | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
about Dunfermline Abbey. Two sections fused together, the old and | :45:49. | :45:52. | |
then the slightly more modern. Just over my shoulder this is the Sao | :45:53. | :45:56. | |
Paul and the gatehouse of the palace, which stretches all the way | :45:57. | :46:04. | |
back to the 11th century. But to put this into perspective, where we are | :46:05. | :46:08. | |
in relation to the rest of Scotland, over my left shoulder you can see | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
the road bridges and the latest one coming on. Slightly misty this | :46:14. | :46:19. | |
morning and grey overhead. A weather front clearing away. But it is | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
crucial because it separates the forecast from west to east. Some | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
eastern areas are humid at the moment but there is fresh air in the | :46:28. | :46:30. | |
West and that will be moving across all parts during the rest of the | :46:31. | :46:35. | |
day. Looking at the wider shot as far as the weather is concerned, the | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
weather front stretches across eastern Scotland down through | :46:40. | :46:42. | |
western part of England and Wales, moving slowly eastwards. Right | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
conditions already into Northern Ireland and Boston Scotland which | :46:47. | :46:49. | |
will see one or two showers during the day. Cloudy across eastern | :46:50. | :46:55. | |
Scotland in the rush-hour. But the drizzle becoming more confined to | :46:56. | :47:02. | |
Shetland. Becoming wet in north-west England, Wales. Sunniest driest and | :47:03. | :47:10. | |
warmest towards the south. We have sunshine at times across parts of | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
the Midlands, East Anglia and the South East but it will cloud over | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
and it is here we could see some heavy and maybe thundery showers. | :47:19. | :47:21. | |
Potentially tarantula is well across part of East Anglia and the South | :47:22. | :47:27. | |
East. To the west, one or two showers and where as we can hit 28 | :47:28. | :47:34. | |
degrees in East Anglia today, temperatures back down to where they | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
should be, 17 or 18 degrees. The fresh air will be slowly trying to | :47:40. | :47:42. | |
push into the south-eastern night but showers around eastern England | :47:43. | :47:47. | |
in particular. Maybe the odd heavy and thundery one, East Anglia and | :47:48. | :47:52. | |
the likes of Kent. But isolated showers elsewhere and temperatures | :47:53. | :47:55. | |
down into single figures away from towns and cities. In the South East | :47:56. | :48:01. | |
Corner, we see the driest and brightest whether to start the | :48:02. | :48:07. | |
weekend. One or two isolated showers and the worse. In Northern Ireland, | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
it showers more frequent, some could be heavy with thunder and hail mixed | :48:12. | :48:16. | |
in. Sunny spells in between. Gone are the mid to high 20s, all others | :48:17. | :48:21. | |
generally around the mid to high teens, may be low 20s at the best. | :48:22. | :48:26. | |
We continue with those temperatures into Sunday. Sunday, greater chance | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
of showers across England and Wales, particularly the further south you | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
are. There will be some areas of showers altogether. Looks like North | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
Wales, North Midlands, it should be a largely dry day. We continue with | :48:39. | :48:42. | |
the fresher team into next week with a mixture of sunshine and showers. | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
That is how you weather is looking into the Firth of Forth. | :48:47. | :48:57. | |
I think you were supposed to be doing the cooking. I think that is | :48:58. | :49:06. | |
your turn. I wanted a slightly healthier | :49:07. | :49:12. | |
Breakfast. You are not doing this very well, a lot of smoke. | :49:13. | :49:18. | |
I am expecting a sandwich after all of this. | :49:19. | :49:19. | |
Expect away! We are talking about what it means | :49:20. | :49:27. | |
that the economy here. In six days, people go to the polls. They will be | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
voting in the election. How does it figure when it comes to the economy, | :49:33. | :49:36. | |
how does Scotland fit in with the rest of the UK and what does it mean | :49:37. | :49:41. | |
for voters here? Two people can explain, Chris and Stephanie, good | :49:42. | :49:46. | |
morning. Chris, you run an international business, talk me | :49:47. | :49:49. | |
through some of the biggest issues for voters? I think currency and | :49:50. | :49:56. | |
Brexit has a major impact. We pay a lot of our bills in Euros and we | :49:57. | :50:02. | |
have seen a 20% increase on those. We have two members of staff who are | :50:03. | :50:06. | |
European citizens. They are highly skilled people so it has caused some | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
concerns. Stephanie, the challenge at the moment is we are feeling the | :50:12. | :50:15. | |
squeeze on incomes. Less money in our pockets because prices are | :50:16. | :50:18. | |
rising. No exception, you are feeling it? I work 20 hours a week. | :50:19. | :50:25. | |
Even with things like child care, half of my wage goes to childcare. | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
At the end of the month, the rises of prizes is making a struggle, even | :50:31. | :50:36. | |
to buy a weekly shop. So it definitely... Things like wages, | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
living wage and childcare is a big thing and people all over the | :50:41. | :50:45. | |
country like myself. I know you want to go back to university, but there | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
are some things that have devolved to Scotland, education is one of | :50:50. | :50:56. | |
them. Free tuition fees... How will that figure in your decisions? Free | :50:57. | :51:03. | |
tuition fees will be good for me, but what will I do with my son when | :51:04. | :51:08. | |
I am at university? Free childcare isn't until three years old, my son | :51:09. | :51:13. | |
is 18 months. How does it work for people like myself? It is quite | :51:14. | :51:20. | |
difficult, free tuition fees, free childcare, big things when it comes | :51:21. | :51:24. | |
to my decision and who I will vote for. Brexit is a big issue in this | :51:25. | :51:29. | |
election, how does it play out in Scotland? We saw the results of the | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
referendum and Scotland voted Remain. Do you fill your part of | :51:36. | :51:38. | |
Europe as an international business? I travel to London every week and | :51:39. | :51:45. | |
inward investment is important and double taxation questions come into | :51:46. | :51:54. | |
play. If it is an independence reference, that comes into the | :51:55. | :52:00. | |
equation. For now, thank you. We will talk more later. What does it | :52:01. | :52:05. | |
mean as far as the wider economy is concerned and how can it affect | :52:06. | :52:12. | |
voters here. Professor, from the University of Stirling, welcome. We | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
have talked about issues and how it might affect how they vote in six | :52:17. | :52:21. | |
days, I want to talk about oil because it is an important part of | :52:22. | :52:25. | |
the Scottish economy. We have seen oil prices since the independence | :52:26. | :52:28. | |
referendum nearly halving and that has affected revenues for the | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
Scottish economy? It does, it has a substantial effect on the revenues | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
on an independent Scotland so the taxation and spending would be more | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
difficult. At the moment, it doesn't look like oil price will go up any | :52:43. | :52:47. | |
time soon, for a variety of reasons. It does make the case for | :52:48. | :52:52. | |
independence more difficult. When we look at where Scotland figures in | :52:53. | :52:56. | |
the whole UK picture, economic growth is a big problem, because it | :52:57. | :53:03. | |
affects how much people have in their pockets. Growth is shrinking, | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
if we get another quarter of economic growth shrinking, we fall | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
into a recession? The Scottish economy has grown markedly less | :53:12. | :53:19. | |
slowly down the UK. Part of the money the Scottish Government gets | :53:20. | :53:22. | |
now comes from its own income tax revenues, so that is a worry. | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
Clearly, for the last two, three quarters has been falling behind the | :53:29. | :53:35. | |
UK. Let's talk about income. We all feeling the squeeze, prices are | :53:36. | :53:39. | |
rising, wages are not keeping up and it is an issue as voters go the | :53:40. | :53:45. | |
polls. Yes, in many ways, the labour market in Scotland is similar to | :53:46. | :53:50. | |
that in the UK, employment is at a high level, unemployment is very | :53:51. | :53:54. | |
low, but incomes aren't much bigger than they were in real terms seven | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
or eight years ago. So that is a big worry, meeting the weekly bills is | :54:00. | :54:04. | |
becoming more and more difficult. A picture that is brighter is | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
unemployment. Lower than the national average, lower than the UK | :54:10. | :54:13. | |
average. So a healthier picture as far as the job market is concerned? | :54:14. | :54:18. | |
It is at the margin, it is a bit better. The Scottish economy has | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
been better at creating jobs but not creating the productivity that | :54:24. | :54:26. | |
generates the higher incomes in terms of the tax revenues and so on. | :54:27. | :54:31. | |
But is why a lot of people are feeling stretched, even though they | :54:32. | :54:35. | |
are in jobs. For now, David, thank you very much. How are you getting | :54:36. | :54:46. | |
on? I see a lot of smoke. How do you like your sausage in the | :54:47. | :55:01. | |
morning? Chris B. Yay! Maps, who is in the park behind, we will send him | :55:02. | :55:05. | |
a goodie bag. -- Mafi. He did say you wanted | :55:06. | :55:10. | |
Breakfast, now you will never ask for it again. | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
I think you need to get out of the band. You have been talking to | :55:16. | :55:20. | |
people about the economic impact and we will be talking about immigration | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
and the issues here and cohesiveness. And of course the | :55:25. | :55:28. | |
economy and independence. Lots of views coming here from Scotland. | :55:29. | :55:33. | |
What is it time to do now? Get the news, the travel and weather | :55:34. | :59:27. | |
This is Breakfast on Friday the 2nd of June. | :59:28. | :59:33. | |
International condemnation for President Trump after he pulls | :59:34. | :59:37. | |
America out of the Paris agreement on climate change. | :59:38. | :59:45. | |
We will see if we can make a deal that's barefoot if we can, that's | :59:46. | :59:51. | |
grateful to if we cannot, that's fine. | :59:52. | :59:54. | |
the President she's disappointed with his decision, while European | :59:55. | :59:59. | |
leaders said there'd be no renegotiation. | :00:00. | :00:04. | |
We all share the same responsibility. Make our planet | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
great again. Good morning. There are six days to | :00:10. | :00:35. | |
go until you cast your vote in the general election. We have brought | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
ourselves to Dunfermline. What does the politics mean for many in our | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
pockets and what does it mean for voters here? I thought the butty van | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
to find out what could affect the vote in six days' time. Matt is also | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
here with us. He has the weather. Good morning. I am in the grounds of | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
the Abbey and the powerless. Find out what role it plays in Scottish | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
history. The weather is rather grave. We have bright and fresh | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
weather in for the weekend. The full forecast details in the next 15 | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
minutes. See you then. We are in the historic town of | :01:18. | :01:29. | |
Dunfermline, steeped in history. Also a constituency that has seen | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
Lib Dem, labour and SNP leadership. It is constituencies like this that | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
make the general election so close and could be very crucial when votes | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
are part -- cast in six days. We are talking about migration, | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
independents and Brexit. Tenancy issues that matter to you. -- tell | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
us the issues. Get in touch via Twitter and on social media. We are | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
getting their history. We have Robert Bruce over there to tell us | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
the history of this place and getting views on what election | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
issues matter most to you. Now for the news from Charlie. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Theresa May has expressed her disappointment over | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
President Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
In a phone call with Mr Trump, the Prime Minister stressed that | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Britain remains committed to the agreement. | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
Our North America Correspondent, David Willis, has more. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
He had promised this to the people who voted him into office. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Nonetheless, it was a momentous announcement and one | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
which drew swift condemnation from around the world. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
As president, I have one obligation, and that obligation | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
President Trump believes in a nutshell that the Paris Accord | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
impedes his ability to restore jobs to parts of the American heartland, | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
blighted by the move away from fossil fuels, | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
Time, in his view, to put America first. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
A philosophy summed up in one short phrase. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris. | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
Pittsburgh's mayor, Bill Peduto, swiftly responded, saying his city | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
considered the heart of the American steel industry, actually | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
Donald Trump had previously said global warning was a hoax | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
He is now saying he'd be willing to renegotiate the Paris Accord, | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
albeit on terms more favourable to the US, European leaders want | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
I reaffirm that the Paris agreement remains irreversible and will be | :03:42. | :03:55. | |
Not just by France, but by all the other nations. | :03:56. | :04:08. | |
Those gathered outside the White House to protest | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
President's decision believed the departure of the second largest | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
polluter on the planet will have a dramatic impact | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
Donald Trump believes his decision represents an assertion of American | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
sovereignty whilst his critics believe it is precisely | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
What we know now is there was a phone call late last night. What has | :04:23. | :04:53. | |
been said about the call? Downing Street said Theresa May told Donald | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Trump she was disappointed with the decision. She's said she believed | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
that Paris was the right framework and the UK would continue to sign up | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
to it. There has been joint condemnation from France, Germany | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
and Italy. All signed a letter condemning Donald Trump for the | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
decision. There has been criticism of Theresa May not signing up to it. | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
All being forceful of their criticism and not trying to | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
influence him to persuade him to try to think again. Labour said it was a | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
dereliction of her duty and called Donald Trump's actions and act of | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
global generational vandalism. Saying this is time that the special | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
relationship should matter. We should be able to tell President | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
Trump to use our influence to try to persuade him to change our mind. The | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Conservatives are very clear they are taking a different approach. | :05:54. | :06:06. | |
China was mentioned many times. It has recently been reaffirming its | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
commitment through the accord. Beijing has explicitly criticise | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
Donald Trump for pulling the United States at the Paris agreement that | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
it is saying when you want out but we will stand by Europe and other | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
nations push ahead on climate measures. It is interesting, China's | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
number to leader will meet senior figures from the EU and sign a | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
statement reaffirming their commitment to the Paris measures. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Have a look at the local newspapers. Here is Angela Merkel. Here is an | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
English language daily with the same sort of images. What a contrast to | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
Donald Trump at the Nato summit recently! They'll be geopolitical | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
ramifications well beyond climate change in terms of the US pulling | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
out of the Paris deal. They could see China getting a leg up on the | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
world stage in terms of becoming something of a leader in terms of | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
tackling climate change. The Conservatives have | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
denied their immigration policy is in confusion, | :07:18. | :07:18. | |
after Theresa May suggested she wanted net migration to be | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
reduced to under a hundred The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
said it was no more than an aim. Our Political Correspondent, | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Gary O'Donoghue reports. Cutting the overall immigration | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
numbers to the tens of thousands has been Conservative policy | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
for seven years. But it's proved incredibly | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
hard to achieve. Last year, the population increase | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
due to immigration went up by almost With around 175,000 of those people | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
coming from outside the EU, the group over which Britain already | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
has full control. The tens of thousands target is | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
again in the Conservative manifesto. Yesterday, a Home Office minister | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
appeared to put one on it. You are saying tens of thousands | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
in five years' time? Over | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
the course of the Parliament, yes. EU and non-EU, down | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
to tens of thousands? We want to see migration levels | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
coming down to sustainable levels, of thousands, over the course | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
of the next Parliament. Those comments were put to Theresa | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
May while she was out campaigning. She was asked the question | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
whether the target would be down to tens of thousands in five years, | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
to which she said that's But there was a different | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
emphasis from the Brexit Are you saying it is Tory Party | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
policy if you're re-elected as the Government next Thursday | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
to get it down to 100,000 within We can't promise within five | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
years, that's the thing. Downing Street has denied | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
there is any confusion or disagreement over the timetable | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
but, even the appearance of a different is not | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
what Mrs May needs in her last Elsewhere in the campaign, | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Labour is promising to create a million new jobs, | :09:02. | :09:14. | |
while the Liberal Dems are warning of economic | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
uncertainty post Brexit. Jeremy Corbyn will say today that | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
a Labour government would pump ?250 million into industry | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
through a new National But the former Lib Dem Business | :09:22. | :09:22. | |
Secretary, Sir Vince Cable, believes both Labour and the Tories | :09:23. | :09:26. | |

for routine surgery and treatment The head of NHS England, | :10:36. | :10:44. | |
Simon Stephens recently said that performance would be allowed to slip | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
because of other urgent The Royal College of Surgeons argue | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
this will mean increasing numbers The college, using NHS England data, | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
says around 126,000 people had waited more than 26 weeks | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
for non-urgent treatment in March, up 180% on March 2013, | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
a time when targets were being hit. The biggest increases | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
were for dermatology, ear, nose and throat | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
and urology patients. We know we need to have more | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
facilities for planned surgery. We need to have better planning | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
for planned surgery and we need to make sure that the pressures | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
on the health service don't interfere with patients | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
who could legitimately expect their surgery to be done | :11:37. | :11:37. | |
within 18 weeks of presentation. Labour said it would increase NHS | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
funding and restore the 18 week treatment target, | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
which it says has been abandoned, The Conservatives said there had | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
been a sharp drop in the number of patients waiting more than a year | :11:47. | :11:55. | |
for treatment, and only their plans to grow the economy | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
would support the NHS. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
have seen increases in totals waiting long periods for operations, | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
so they have different NHS England said the number | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
of patients waiting more than a year for treatment has fallen over | :12:06. | :12:18. | |
the past five years. The Bulgarian linesman who failed | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
to spot Diego Maradona's infamous "hand of God" goal in the 1986 | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
World Cup has died. Many of you will remember how | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
the Argentinan leapt to punch the ball past Peter Shilton | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
into the net, during Bogdan Dochev, who died | :12:34. | :12:34. | |
at the age of 80, said the incident stayed with him, | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
his whole life. He described Maradona as a great | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
footballer, but a small man - It's less than a week | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
until we go to the polls So - as you can see behind me - | :12:48. | :12:57. | |
Breakfast has been back on the road. Sampling in opinion and talking to | :12:58. | :13:10. | |
people about what are the big issues. | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
You know when we go through the papers and sometimes we get a little | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
bit scrunched up because it is all awkward when we are holding them? | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
Remember that? This is the answer. I have the Dunfermline and district | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
pipe band with me. You had earlier and we'll hear from them again for | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
the let's take a look at the papers. The Guardian is taking a look at the | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
lead story that United States and Donald Trump has rejected the | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
climate change called. The president is claiming American jobs are being | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
put at risk by the Paris deal to curb emissions and the news that | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Nigel Farage is a person of interest as the FBI is an amateur -- | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
examining Russian links to Donald Trump. Labour wanting to use the SNP | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
to form a minority government in the event of a hung parliament. A | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
picture that of Donald Trump on the front page. The Scotsman is taking a | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
look for is that there is a picture of Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May, | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Saint Theresa May is coming for a fresh message as the polls on the | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
harrowing. -- saying Theresa May. Also looking at the popularity of | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
Nicola Sturgeon at the moment. Saying she is in denial about the | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
decision for wanting a second independence referendum causing the | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
decline in her popularity. Good morning. On the front page of the | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
Daily Mirror, remember those tickets went on sale for the tribute concert | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
after the author events in Manchester. Saying people have been | :15:03. | :15:12. | |
lying about being at the original Ariana Grande concert and claiming | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
free tickets. Thank you for helping out with the papers. With me are | :15:16. | :15:24. | |
John and Pat. Musician and campaigner for Scottish | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
independence. You are forgiven for a slight stumble. What do you think is | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
the biggest issue question we're talking about independence was | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
debilitating a look at the fall in popularity of Nicola Sturgeon. Also | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
the timing of another referendum being behind the fall in her | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
popularity. How much is independence is playing into people's minds? It | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
is a perverse election when Nicola Sturgeon has said she does not want | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
to talk about independence. It is always the other party leaders who | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
talk about it. That has had an interesting effect. The focus of the | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
election, especially with regard to Question Time and debates, they | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
focus on health and education. Nicola Sturgeon very effective as a | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
politician has been in power for ten years. That legacy, the weight of | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
that government and the weather stays is beginning to have a drag on | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
her ratings. Down 18 points. The real paradox for the SNP is to show | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
how well they govern. There is a limit on the amount of things they | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
can do any amount of resources they have control over. What is | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
interesting is whether there Ann anti-politics vote going around up | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
and down the country with people fed up with the political classes. The | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
way that is panning out in Scotland, no more firsts and no more | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
referenda. Which party will benefit? It is an interesting spread. The | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
Tories will benefit, I think. Ruth Davidson has completely targeted her | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
campaign to deal with the anti-political settlement. We are | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
all exhausted with politics at the moment. How that is being expressed | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
is not another referendum where we have to have arguments. As someone | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
who supports independence, I would quite like those energies to be | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
stoked up again. It might require a period of calm stop there are | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
general issues here about disillusionment with politics and | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
exhaustion with politics. It is true that the Tories have very much | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
presented themselves like that. Labour has also got into that game. | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
Kezia Dugdale is riding forward. There is a problem. She is running | :17:59. | :18:11. | |
away from to recent me's manifesto. She repudiates fox hunting. She | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
tries to carve off the winter fuel allowance to be different for | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
Scotland are not to have the cut. It seems to me, amongst Labour and | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
Conservatives, about how the leader in Westminster in London is | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
reflected in the influence they are having in Scotland as well. Whether | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
or not there should be some detachment from the messages coming | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
from the party from Westminster. Is that fair? It is funny. On the side | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
of independence, the centre-left, when you look at some might Corbyn | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
and think, that guy probably expresses about 80%. The 20% he does | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
not express is to do with Trident. They're not very enthusiastic about | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
constitutional reform. There are a lot of people on the yes side in | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
Scotland wondering what will happen with the election. If it is a hung | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
parliament and there is a progressive majority emerging, it | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
could be an interesting number of years. If Corbyn wants to get rid of | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
Trident and reform over the House of Lords, his power over SNP is where | :19:21. | :19:29. | |
it has side. With regard to the Progressive alliance, it depends on | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
the idea of a confident of vote with the SNP. It is spending all of its | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
time to campaign to leave that arrangement. That does not give you | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
a stable government. It could be an unstable proposition. When you look | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
what happened with Callaghan, it would be even more when the SNP | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
walked out. Go forward to the 20 20s. It is not in the interests of | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Scotland, it is not in a good state and we want to be in a good state. | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
It stays to go to vote and the passion is rising. Thank you so much | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
real time. Just behind me, the two-minute walk away is Dunfermline | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
Abbey. Matters inside the Abbey, ready to give us the weather for | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
today. Good morning. -- Matt is inside. | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
This stunning Romanesque architecture inside. The Abbey was | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
established by Queen Margaret. Behind the doors at the back is | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
somewhere near where Robert the Bruce was buried. Here Edward I of | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
England held court in the 14th century. When he left a lot was | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
burned to the ground. I am sheltered away from the weather. Not too bad | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
across Dunfermline this morning. Rain overnight clearing its way | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
towards the east. The brain is the dividing line between humid air | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
across eastern parts of the UK this morning and fresh air moving in from | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
the West. Taking a look at the UK scene for the breakfast period that | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
you can see the line of rain extending through the East of | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
Scotland through parts of England and Wales. Into the fresh air | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
already in Northern Ireland and western Scotland, fairly cloudy and | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
the odd spot of rain. Wet across northern England, parts of Wales and | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
the south-west. The rain steadily pushing eastwards. In parts of | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
southern and eastern England, this is where not only there is a humid | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
start but also some of the brightest conditions to begin the day. | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
Temperatures were ready approaching 19, 20. The rain band fragments into | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
clusters of showers. There is very humid air in East Anglia and the | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
South East and there could be intense thunderstorms. The small | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
risk of flash flooding and light showers. Note the temperatures this | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
afternoon. A big contrast. 26-28 potentially across south-east | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
England and East Anglia. Through tonight, the humid air made just | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
about hold on across East Anglia and the South East. Still some showers | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
to come. Further west, some isolated showers. Lots of dry and brighter | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
weather but it will fill cooler going into the start of the weekend. | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
Temperatures in rural figures down to single figures. Overnight, the | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
cloud should then an break. Across good parts of England and Wales | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
Saturday's looking dry with sunshine. One or to isolated | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
showers. It will feel fresher than recent days. Sunshine in Scotland | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
and Northern Ireland will be interrupted by some showers. Some of | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
those could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures still in the late to | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
high teens. The mid to high teens. Those temperatures go into Sunday. | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
The greatest risk of showers in Scotland and Northern Ireland. A few | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
more showers in England and Wales compared with Saturday. Stick with | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
the sunshine and temperatures after what has been into the 20s over the | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
past few days, hovering around the mid to high teens for many. That is | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
how it is looking in the surroundings of Dunfermline Abbey. | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
We are here in Dunfermline, the ancient capital of Scotland. You can | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
see breakfast is beautifully delayed out on the table. I am with our | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
voters. A few minutes ago we were talking about the issue of | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
independence. It has been three years since we had the independence | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
referendum. There is still talk about whether another referendum | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
should be held. Rachel has her exam later this afternoon to Saubers is | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
commitment. This is an interest in politics. You are too young to vote | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
last time around. You are interested in independence. I definitely think | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
it is the only way that Scotland can control their own country. Last | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
time, there were 56 MPs and we still can't get listened to. They will | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
either be outvoted by the Labour government, the Conservative | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
government. You can't win either way. Have you decided how you're | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
going to vote? Are you happy to say? I will be voting SNP. We spoke to | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
Alan earlier. You previously voted SNP, strongly in favour of Scotland | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
staying part of the UK. You have changed your mind. I have changed my | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
mind. I voted for them because I thought they would be a competent | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
government. Now we have seen how incompetent they are. The other | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
reason for voting for independence, not me but others, is because they | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
want to be free. The opinion polls continue say the majority don't want | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
independence. I would like that to be respected. Do you know how you | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
are voting? Absolutely. I'm going to vote Conservative. Stefanie... You | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
are a mum. You have a baby boy. You intend to go back to university next | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
year. Give me some background. You want your little boy to grow up in | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
an Independent Scotland. I feel it is the only way we can control our | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
own country and take back... Have our own legislation. I know a lot of | :25:45. | :25:53. | |
issues are devolved. In Brexit, Scotland voted overwhelmingly to | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
stay in the new. How is that fair that we are being taken out of the | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
EU? I think Scotland would benefit from having their own legislation, | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
taking over their own control and access to the single market as well. | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
Jonathan, a restaurant and used to work in the oil industry. Very much | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
mindful of business and economy first of you think Scotland would be | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
better off in the UK. Scotland would be better off in the UK. It does | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
serve to have its independence. It needs to put a plan together we can | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
see and view and agree with. We do not want to be a country on its own | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
which is highly taxed against everyone else in Europe. I am on the | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
fence at the moment with two parties. I am not sure which way I | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
will go at the moment stop you saw the Dunfermline and district pipe | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
band earlier. They were helping me with the papers. They are back to | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
doing what they are really good at. Hello, this is Breakfast In your | :27:00. | :30:38. | |

the US and threatened American jobs. World leaders have reacted | :31:05. | :31:09. | |

to signal her aim was to reduce net migration to under 100,000 | :31:27. | :31:34. | |
in the next five years. But her Brexit Secretary David Davis | :31:35. | :31:37. | |
sounded a more cautious note, The Met Police say they have so far | :31:38. | :31:39. | |

opened fire before killing himself. The attacker also set | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
fire to gaming tables. Authorities say most of the people | :32:21. | :32:22. | |
who lost their lives Police had feared the attack | :32:23. | :32:24. | |
was terrorist related, but now The number of patients waiting more | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
than six months for routine operations and treatment has nearly | :32:29. | :32:36. | |
tripled over four years in England. That's according to The Royal | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
College of Surgeons, which analysed data from March 2013, | :32:40. | :32:41. | |
a time when targets were being met. NHS England declined to respond | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
directly to the six-month figures. But a spokesperson has said "the NHS | :32:46. | :32:47. | |
has cut the number of patients waiting more than a year | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
for treatment by nearly 13,000 Our concern is that it is extremely | :32:51. | :32:53. | |

the rest of the tournament, after he left the field after two | :34:53. | :34:54. | |
overs yesterday, with a side strain. It was a good day for Britain | :34:55. | :35:00. | |
at the French Open yesterday, with world number one Andy Murray, | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
and Kyle Edmund, both booking Murray had a tough battle, | :35:04. | :35:05. | |
with the world number He had to fight back | :35:06. | :35:09. | |
after losing the opening set, He'll face Huan Martin | :35:10. | :35:15. | |
Del Potro, next. He's obviously been very | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
unfortunate with injuries through his career and this year, | :35:21. | :35:21. | |
he's had a lot of If you look at the matches he's | :35:22. | :35:24. | |
lost, it's been mainly against the top guys very early | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
on in the tournaments. You know, I think deserves to be | :35:30. | :35:31. | |
ranked higher than what he is, so I'm expecting it to be | :35:32. | :35:34. | |
very, very tough. Edmund beat Argentine, | :35:35. | :35:42. | |
Renzo Olivo, in straight sets to progress into round three, | :35:43. | :35:45. | |
in Paris for the first He'll be up, against | :35:46. | :35:48. | |
South African Kevin Anderson next. While good sportsmanship | :35:49. | :35:52. | |
was also flowing in Paris. Nicolas Almagro was almost | :35:53. | :35:55. | |
inconsolable, after he was forced to retire with injury, | :35:56. | :35:58. | |
and so opponent, Juan Martin Del A man who knows a thing, | :35:59. | :36:02. | |
or two about injuries. Del Potro will play Andy Murray | :36:03. | :36:10. | |
in the next round in a rematch It was the goalkeepers | :36:11. | :36:13. | |
who decided, the women's After a goalless two hours, | :36:14. | :36:21. | |
it went to sudden death penalties, and while Paris Saint-Germain keeper | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
put hers wide, her despair was compounded when Lyon | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
counterpart Sarah Bouhaddi, So Lyon's European | :36:30. | :36:32. | |
dominance continues. They lifted the trophy | :36:33. | :36:38. | |
for the second year in a row, and with it, have completed a double | :36:39. | :36:40. | |
treble, for the second You do feel for the Paris keeping | :36:41. | :36:57. | |
the end. Lots of motion in your bulletins lately. It is the time of | :36:58. | :37:02. | |
year when season is coming to an end. We will talk to you later on. | :37:03. | :37:08. | |
Theresa May has informed Donald Trump of her disappointment | :37:09. | :37:10. | |
after the President announced he would be withdrawing | :37:11. | :37:12. | |
the United States from the Paris climate-change accord. | :37:13. | :37:15. | |
Under the agreement, countries pledged to cut | :37:16. | :37:16. | |
The aim - to limit the rise in average global temperature to two | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
With the promise of $100 billion a year to help poorer | :37:21. | :37:26. | |
America will join Nicaragua and Syria as being the only | :37:27. | :37:34. | |
countries not to sign up to the Paris deal. | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
Defiant reaction came in thick and fast from leaders across Europe | :37:38. | :37:40. | |
and around the world, following President | :37:41. | :37:42. | |
This is what the French President, Emmanuel Macron, had to say. | :37:43. | :37:49. | |
I can assure you, France will not give up the fight. | :37:50. | :37:51. | |
I reaffirm clearly, that the Paris agreement remains irreversible | :37:52. | :37:54. | |
Not just by France, but by all the other nations. | :37:55. | :37:57. | |
Because where ever we live, where ever we are, we all share | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
Richard Black is the Director of the Energy and Climate Change | :38:01. | :38:16. | |
I imagine, you were watching last night, your initial reaction? | :38:17. | :38:31. | |
Combined a lot of emotion with quite a few numbers. It was going back to | :38:32. | :38:40. | |
an America built on coal and steel with real men in hard hats doing | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
real jobs. They spoke of massive economic losses and massive job | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
losses in the future. Basically he was saying we need to pull out of | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
this agreement in order to rebuild those industries such as coal and | :38:53. | :38:59. | |
steel on which America became great. The world has moved on. The number | :39:00. | :39:04. | |
of people employed in coal mines in America has halved in 20 years. That | :39:05. | :39:08. | |
wasn't because of the Paris climate agreement, it is because better | :39:09. | :39:13. | |
things came along like natural gas, renewable energy and ways of | :39:14. | :39:16. | |
stopping wasting so much energy, which are better for society. Help | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
me with a couple of thoughts. I heard from quite a few experts in | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
this field, in some ways, his decision won't make much difference, | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
meant has changed and so many countries are signed up, | :39:32. | :39:34. | |
symbolically hugely important, but in practice, maybe not so much. I | :39:35. | :39:41. | |
think it is right. In a large part, agreements like the Paris agreement | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
reflect what a lot of countries are doing anyway and what they see as | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
their national interests. Even before the Paris agreement was | :39:49. | :39:54. | |
signed, China revealed massive plans for renewable energy, India are | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
following suit. They have intensified their pledges and | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
commitments, particularly with regard to closing coal fired power | :40:03. | :40:06. | |
stations. There is no reason for those countries to change course. | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
The balance of world power is shifting towards Asia. Asia has half | :40:10. | :40:17. | |
of the world's population already. That is driving things forward. In | :40:18. | :40:20. | |
Europe we have seen incredible successes through cutting climate | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
change. In the UK, per capita of wealth is growing by 45% in the 25 | :40:26. | :40:31. | |
years since the Rio Earth Summit started this. The real-world | :40:32. | :40:36. | |
evidence is controlling carbon emissions and getting richer, do go | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
hand in hand. Some states in America, California leading | :40:43. | :40:45. | |
discharge, they say we will do what we want to do anyway. In a way, what | :40:46. | :40:51. | |
President Trump has decided for the nation will not change the way we | :40:52. | :40:56. | |
operate. California's output is like the fifth largest in the world. Can | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
they carry on and the effect be almost as if America hasn't pulled | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
out? There was a new alliance launched straightaway between the | :41:06. | :41:10. | |
governors of California, Washington and New York and they count for 20% | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
of US carbon emissions. California has ambitious targets, half of | :41:16. | :41:21. | |
renewable sources by 2030, doubling the rate at which stop wasting | :41:22. | :41:29. | |
energy. They want to change motoring to electric vehicles. They can do | :41:30. | :41:33. | |
it, the only thing that might stop them is if the White House decides | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
to impose new regulations that have an impact nation wide. If they tried | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
to block The States. But we know how lawyers in court would react to | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
that. We will see, Richard. Thank you for your time. | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
By this time next week, we're likely to know the result | :41:54. | :41:56. | |
So, with just days left until the polls open, | :41:57. | :42:01. | |
Breakfast has been hitting the road and talking to voters about | :42:02. | :42:04. | |
Naga is in Dunfermline for us this morning, | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
discussing everything from immigration to independence. | :42:10. | :42:15. | |
Good morning to you, Naga. Good morning, it is Breakfast time and we | :42:16. | :42:23. | |
are feeding our voters this morning. Is it good? Excellent. One of the | :42:24. | :42:30. | |
issues we are talking about and an issue that is quite important is | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
migration. Thinking attitudes perhaps could be different here, | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
compared to the rest of the UK. Graham Satchel will explain why. He | :42:40. | :42:44. | |
went west of here, about 30 miles away to take a look to see how | :42:45. | :42:47. | |
voters are thinking about migration. The people who make Glasgow today | :42:48. | :42:56. | |
come from all over the world. I like Glasgow, I've been living | :42:57. | :42:59. | |
here for over four years. Glasgow styles itself | :43:00. | :43:10. | |
as a friendly, welcoming city, but like the rest of the UK, | :43:11. | :43:12. | |
it's seen record levels of immigration in the last | :43:13. | :43:15. | |
decade and for some, There's an awful lot | :43:16. | :43:17. | |
of asylum seekers coming in. I think every country has | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
to curtail the amount The standard of this area has | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
gone rapidly downhill. As immigration goes, | :43:25. | :43:27. | |
economically, I don't know but for living here, | :43:28. | :43:30. | |
you know, the standards have That kind of concern | :43:31. | :43:32. | |
about immigration is probably, in the end, the main reason that | :43:33. | :43:40. | |
England and Wales voted for Brexit. Immigration here is a much more | :43:41. | :43:43. | |
subtle, complicated nuance issue After World War II, | :43:44. | :43:49. | |
but until around 2000, Scotland We have more deaths than births | :43:50. | :43:58. | |
in Scotland, the only way the labour force is growing and has been | :43:59. | :44:10. | |
growing over the last 15, 20 years is through | :44:11. | :44:12. | |
the cause of net migration. This is the Maryhill integration | :44:13. | :44:15. | |
network and help session for newly The Scottish Government has actively | :44:16. | :44:18. | |
encouraged immigration, So, 40% of the Syrians who come | :44:19. | :44:20. | |
to the UK, for example, Scotland needs more people | :44:21. | :44:28. | |
here and Syrian people, as you know, they are very active | :44:29. | :44:39. | |
and they can do something This man has been | :44:40. | :44:41. | |
here for four years. The Syrians can help | :44:42. | :44:44. | |
the Scottish people? Many of them have skills | :44:45. | :44:47. | |
and they can do something here. The food that we cook here | :44:48. | :45:05. | |
is Punjabi food, totally authentic. This man runs one of the biggest | :45:06. | :45:08. | |
curry houses in Scotland But he says, Brexit | :45:09. | :45:11. | |
and you tighter immigration rules But he says, Brexit | :45:12. | :45:18. | |
and new tighter immigration rules from Westminster are already | :45:19. | :45:20. | |
threatening his business. It's now nearly impossible | :45:21. | :45:21. | |
to recruit Indian chefs from abroad. Basically, what we are seeing is, | :45:22. | :45:24. | |
to the rest of the world, And I think that is | :45:25. | :45:27. | |
commercial suicide. Can migration be managed to suit | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
the needs of business on one side and the worries many have | :45:32. | :45:34. | |
about social cohesion? Getting the balance right will be | :45:35. | :45:36. | |
a challenge, whoever winds We are around 30 miles from the home | :45:37. | :45:56. | |
of golf, St Andrews. So I couldn't resist. The gold bowls, representing | :45:57. | :46:07. | |
all different parties. Wonderful morning, we are getting views from | :46:08. | :46:11. | |
voters and we will be speaking to politicians later on. Now the | :46:12. | :46:15. | |
weather. We are in the grounds of Dunfermline | :46:16. | :46:30. | |
Abbey, now we have Robert the Bruce himself. Good morning. Thanks for | :46:31. | :46:42. | |
joining us. Amazing getup. I grew up in Scotland and I am only learning | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
out the significance Dunfermline has in Scottish history? It has been | :46:47. | :46:53. | |
overshadowed by Edinburgh, but Dunfermline is where the royal seats | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
were. Robert the Bruce is buried here, Malcolm Campbell is buried | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
here, most of his sons are buried here. This is where Robert the Bruce | :47:03. | :47:09. | |
is known, an icon for Dunfermline. He was a king that really sort of | :47:10. | :47:15. | |
United Scotland. He united the Highlands, he united the lowlands. | :47:16. | :47:21. | |
Dunfermline is an important part of that. Why Dunfermline? Why is it so | :47:22. | :47:28. | |
important? There has been a site here since we think 500 A.D.. But | :47:29. | :47:34. | |
this is where the church became strong. The church as we know it, | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
the medieval church, this is where it all began when Margaret came up. | :47:40. | :47:46. | |
So Robert felt this was important, this was sanctified ground, the seat | :47:47. | :47:52. | |
of the Scottish church. Fantastic. This is the costume Robert the Bruce | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
for when he went into battle? Yes. This chain mail is very heavy? It is | :47:58. | :48:08. | |
about two and a half stone. This is very heavy, I cannot believe they | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
went into battle with this. I will give that back to you. | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
Thanks for joining us. Fine morning in Dunfermline, grey skies but it | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
will be a dry day, I think here and across the UK, bit of a split. | :48:23. | :48:27. | |
Eastern areas humid worm or western areas are fresher. There is a | :48:28. | :48:32. | |
dividing weather front bringing rain, as they always do. Sitting | :48:33. | :48:37. | |
across parts of eastern Scotland, into western England and Wales. | :48:38. | :48:43. | |
Nudging eastwards. Brighter weather already but for eastern Scotland, | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
patchy rain across western England and Wales. The weather front will | :48:50. | :48:52. | |
push its way eastwards. Far south-east of the UK is where we | :48:53. | :48:55. | |
have the humid air. Temperatures climbing rapidly. Sunny spells but | :48:56. | :49:01. | |
it will cloud over into the afternoon. The weather front | :49:02. | :49:04. | |
fragments, showers becoming heavy and fragmented. Where you start with | :49:05. | :49:11. | |
the club further west, sunshine comes out and only one or two | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
showers. Tebbit is back to where they should be for the time of the | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
year. But in East angrier and the South East Corner we could get 26 to | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
28 Celsius. That humidity sparking off storms. Into the night, the | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
storms will continue to rumble around for a short while across the | :49:31. | :49:34. | |
East Anglia and the south-east. There will be further showers | :49:35. | :49:39. | |
overnight. Further west, isolated showers and clear whether around. It | :49:40. | :49:43. | |
will be cooler than last night. Temperatures away from towns and | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
cities will be dropping into single figures but in the South east corner | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
of the country, this is where we have the showers to begin with and | :49:51. | :49:54. | |
things are drier later on and temperatures will hold up. 16 cells | :49:55. | :50:00. | |
is potentially in and around the London area. We go into the weekend | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
with some humid air in a South East Corner but that will be replaced by | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
the fresh conditions experienced elsewhere. Tomorrow, it looks like | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
England and Wales will be dry, good, long spells of sunshine and a few | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
isolated showers in the West but the Scotland and Northern Ireland, | :50:18. | :50:20. | |
showers every now and again. Some on the heavy side. Cannot rule out the | :50:21. | :50:26. | |
odd rumble of thunder. But across the UK, high teens, maybe low 20s in | :50:27. | :50:33. | |
the South East Corner. Fresh conditions continue. One or two more | :50:34. | :50:38. | |
showers around on Sunday compared to Saturday. That is how it is looking | :50:39. | :50:46. | |
from the gorgeous ground here from Dunfermline and I hand you back to | :50:47. | :50:47. | |
the centre of town with Naga. They say a good worker never blames | :50:48. | :51:05. | |
his tools, but I am this morning. I set you the task of cooking | :51:06. | :51:10. | |
Breakfast earlier, which he failed miserably. Not only cooking for me, | :51:11. | :51:16. | |
but you have to cook 15 Breakfast for the pipes bang. | :51:17. | :51:24. | |
-- band. Given you burns my Breakfast this morning, did you | :51:25. | :51:26. | |
write the sign this morning? Maybe. While Naga is cooking 15 | :51:27. | :51:34. | |
Breakfast, if she does that, I will be amazed. | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
In Scotland, one of the big issues will be the money in our pockets. We | :51:38. | :51:43. | |
have specific issues when it comes to Scotland. Not least, the fall in | :51:44. | :51:49. | |
the price of oil which means revenues in Scotland, but were | :51:50. | :51:52. | |
substantial have fallen significantly. The price of oil has | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
halved since the referendum. Let's find what it could mean for some | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
voters. Louise and Sinead are here. You guys have a shop in town. It is | :52:03. | :52:08. | |
fair to say it is the centre of the community, you get a lot of people | :52:09. | :52:12. | |
talking about all sorts of things. Albee, what are the issues for you? | :52:13. | :52:20. | |
What do you have to contend with? Our business is focused on economics | :52:21. | :52:26. | |
and social issues. Social issues shapes the economics. It is a social | :52:27. | :52:29. | |
enterprise that has to provide us with an income. We are not really | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
worried about the size of the income, as long as it is enough. The | :52:35. | :52:39. | |
social part of it is much more important. It is about getting books | :52:40. | :52:44. | |
into the hands of children, improve literacy and to provide a forum for | :52:45. | :52:52. | |
open debate as well. If it is a debate in the shop, what are people | :52:53. | :53:00. | |
talking about? Most people are struggling everyday to get by. NHS, | :53:01. | :53:06. | |
education and people want to know they have got supports. At the | :53:07. | :53:11. | |
moment, we feel that isn't there. It is important people go out and vote | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
for what they really, really feel are the issues important to them. We | :53:16. | :53:21. | |
always hear there is apathy and voting will not change anything. Do | :53:22. | :53:26. | |
you think it will make a difference, the people you speak to, do they | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
feel it will make a difference? Yes, everyone we speak to, they are | :53:32. | :53:36. | |
positive about going out and voting. Sinead, we talk about younger voters | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
getting out and voting and changing things, specific things like | :53:42. | :53:53. | |
education fees? It is important for young people to vote and our voices | :53:54. | :53:56. | |
will be heard. So things like tuition fees are things we don't | :53:57. | :54:00. | |
need to worry about in Scotland. Do you feel there are more of your | :54:01. | :54:05. | |
friends, of your colleagues that will go out and vote because they | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
feel this is the time to do it? It is so important that we go out and | :54:11. | :54:14. | |
make our voices heard. Everyone I know definitely wants to vote. Great | :54:15. | :54:16. | |
tit talk to you all. That is some of the issues affecting | :54:17. | :54:25. | |
people here in Scotland but what about the wider economic problem and | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
how does it affect people how they vote. With me to talk about that, | :54:30. | :54:35. | |
Professor David Bell from the University of Stirling. Let's talk | :54:36. | :54:38. | |
about the wider economic picture. A lot of similarities with the rest of | :54:39. | :54:43. | |
the UK, but Scotland has some big differences. I want to start with | :54:44. | :54:47. | |
oil, big fall in the price of oil has an impact on how much the | :54:48. | :54:50. | |
government has to spend here? Yes, at the moment, effectively, | :54:51. | :54:56. | |
virtually no revenues are being raised from oil. About five years | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
ago there was ?11 billion a year being raised. It does make a huge | :55:02. | :55:07. | |
difference to revenues. That is affecting economic growth and we | :55:08. | :55:09. | |
have seen the figures from the end of last year. Economic growth | :55:10. | :55:18. | |
struggling here. Power that affect people? Oil industry jobs are | :55:19. | :55:24. | |
well-paid jobs. That has a knock-on effect through the economy. People | :55:25. | :55:28. | |
have less to spend, their real incomes are lower than they were | :55:29. | :55:32. | |
five or six years ago. As a result of that, less money to spend | :55:33. | :55:37. | |
effectively because partly affected by inflation at the moment. People | :55:38. | :55:42. | |
have less spending power than they have than before. Let's talk about | :55:43. | :55:47. | |
Brexit because this has dominated this election campaign. How has it | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
been in Scotland? Scotland doesn't export huge amount to the rest of | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
Europe so that is less important to the migration issues. We have low | :55:58. | :56:06. | |
skilled and high skilled from the rest of Europe. David, thank you and | :56:07. | :56:14. | |
good to see you. So let's see how Naga is getting on. 15 breakfasts | :56:15. | :56:17. | |
have been caught, but I am not seeing many. It didn't go well. They | :56:18. | :56:26. | |
are slightly burnt underneath. I did promise I would serve Breakfast to | :56:27. | :56:32. | |
the pipe band, deny? This is one she prepared area. I'm | :56:33. | :56:39. | |
sorry I burnt the Breakfast, but this is healthy stuff, do you like | :56:40. | :56:47. | |
fruit? Yes. Great, we can have this. Who says I don't deliver. | :56:48. | :56:52. | |
We will be talking about the issues affecting voters six days to the | :56:53. | :56:56. | |
general election. Now it is time for the news, | :56:57. | :00:51. | |
This is Breakfast on Friday the 2nd of June. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
International condemnation for President Trump after he pulls | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
America out of the Paris agreement on climate change | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
We will see if we can make a deal that's fair and if we can, that's | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
great. And if we can't, that's fine. Theresa May has told | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
the President she's disappointed with his decision, | :01:16. | :01:16. | |
while European leaders said there'd Whoever we are, we all share the | :01:17. | :01:32. | |
same responsibility - make our planet great again. | :01:33. | :01:51. | |
Good morning. We've brought the sofa to Dunfermline, Scotland's ancient | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
capital. There are just six days to go until you cast your vote in the | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
2017 general election. Away from all the politics, how will | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
the economic affect the money in our pocket and what difference can make | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
when voters go to the polls in just six days? Well, I've brought the | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Butty Van to meet some voters and local business to find out. Matt is | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
here with the weather. Good morning. I'm in the grounds of | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
the Abbey and the palace, a place of huge historical significance to | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Dunfermline and Scotland. Weather-wise, pretty humid and later | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
ran thundery towards the south of the country. Fresher weather moving | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
into the West and we weekend of sunshine and showers. All the | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
details in the next 15 minutes. Good morning. We're here in | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Scotland's ancient capital, Dunfermline. The constituency of | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Dunfermline and West Fife over the past three elections has been with | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
the Liberal Democrats, SNP and Labour and his constituencies like | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
this that make the general election, or close calls in the general | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
election, so interesting. We have been talking to voters and are going | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
to be talking to politicians. They are talking to each other and voters | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
to get their views, six days away from the general election, from when | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
we all go to the polls. Ben is with the Butty Van and is going to be | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
taking a look at what voters are thinking and also the economic | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
issues that are affecting Scotland at the moment and, let me tell you, | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
we are not far from the home of golf. St Andrews is about 30 miles | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
away to talk match will have the weather for us in Dunfermline Abbey. | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
Plenty going on. We're going to be talking about migration, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
independence and the economy. You can talk to us by getting in touch | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
on social media or e-mailing us. I will have plenty more coming up. | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Let's go to Charlie for the latest news. | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Theresa May has expressed her disappointment over | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
President Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
In a phone call with Mr Trump, the Prime Minister stressed that | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Britain remains committed to the agreement. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Our North America correspondent, David Willis, has more. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
He'd promised this to the people who voted him into office. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Nonetheless, it was a momentous announcement and one that drew swift | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
As president, I have one obligation and that obligation | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
President Trump believes, in a nutshell, that the Paris Accord | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
impedes his ability to restore jobs to parts of the American heartland | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
blighted by the move away from fossil fuels such | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Time, in his view, to put America first, a philosophy summed up | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris. | :04:45. | :04:58. | |
Pittsburgh's mayor Bill Peduto swiftly responded, saying his city | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
considered the heart of the American steel injury | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Donald Trump had previously said global warming was a hoax | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
He is now saying he'd be willing to re-negotiate the Paris Accord, | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
albeit on terms more favourable to the US, but European leaders want | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
France will not give up the fight. I reaffirm clearly that the Paris | :05:21. | :05:38. | |
agreement remains irreversible and will be implemented, not just by | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
France but by all the other nations. Those gathered outside | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
the White House to protest the President's decision believe | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
the departure of the second-largest polluter on the planet will have a | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
dramatic impact But Donald Trump believes his | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
decision represents an assertion of American sovereignty, | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
whilst his critics believe it's Let's get some reaction | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
from home and abroad. We'll talk to Damian Grammaticas | :06:01. | :06:12. | |
in Brussels in a moment, but first our political | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
correspondent Leila Nathoo We know there was this late-night | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
phone call, Donald Trump calling Theresa May. What do we know about | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
what was said? Theresa May expressed her disappointment at President | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Trump's decision. She said that she continued to stand by the Paris | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
agreement and she believed it was the right framework. Win over | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
France, Italy and Germany have signed this joint letter of | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
condemnation but Britain hasn't there has some criticism of Theresa | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
May for not taking a more forceful stance against President Trump's | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
decision. I think it will revive allegations that she is not able, or | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
unwilling to stand up to President Trump when she wants or needs to | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
because of the desire to stay close to America after Britain leads the | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
EU. Labour accusing Theresa May of a dereliction of duty for not trying | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
to persuade President Trump to think again. The Liberal Democrats are | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
saying this is exactly the point of a special relationship - we should | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
be able to commence President Trump to think differently. The government | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
is very clear, though, that they are taking a different approach. Let's | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
go to Damian Grammaticas in Brussels. Looking at President | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
macron's rather pointed use of words, we want to make the planet | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
great again, how is that reflected among other EU leaders? The | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
sentiments are shared right across the European Union. What was really | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
striking last night was that as soon as that announcement came from | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
Washington, we had a whole slew of announcements from across the EU all | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
saying the same thing, all coordinators, all obviously | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
prepared, saying this was a sad day, they did not share the same opinion, | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
they regretted the decision from the US. We heard about the joint | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
statement from France, Germany and Italy, saying this could not be | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
renegotiated. What we are going to see today now is here in Brussels | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
the Chinese premier, the Chinese Prime Minister, in Brussels for a | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
prescheduled summit, at which one of the key declarations will be that | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
both the EU and all its countries and China remain committed to the | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Paris Accord and will continue to meet their obligations under that, | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
so what they wish to signal here is that there will be no turning back, | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
because they do not want any fraying of what they call historic | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
achievements, under the Paris Accord, to result from Donald | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
Trump's decision in America. So a very strong signal here that Europe | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
and China will work together to remain committed to that. Thank you. | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
Thanks to Damian Grammaticas in Brussels and Leila Matthew in | :09:03. | :09:03. | |
Westminster. The Conservatives have | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
denied their immigration policy is in confusion, | :09:10. | :09:10. | |
after a minister played down Theresa The Prime Minister appeared | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
to signal her aim was to reduce net migration to under 100,000 in | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
the next five years. But her Brexit Secretary, | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
David Davis, sounded a more cautious note - | :09:20. | :09:20. | |
saying it was no more than an aim. Elsewhere in the campaign, | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Labour is promising to create a million new jobs, | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
while the Lib Dems are warning Jeremy Corbyn will say today that | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
a Labour government would pump ?250 billion into industry | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
through a new National But the former Lib Dem business | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
secretary, Sir Vince Cable, believes both Labour and the Tories | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
have turned their backs on business, and will warn trade could drop | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
by a third following Britain's Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
will face questions from a studio audience tonight in a special | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
edition of Question Time. Our reporter Danni Hewson is in York | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
ahead of the event - but if viewers were hoping to see | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
the pair go head-to-head, Absolutely right. This is the first | :10:07. | :10:21. | |
time Theresa May has taken part in a debate format but if you are | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
expecting her to go head-to-head with Jeremy Corbyn, you are going to | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
be disappointed. Instead, it is going to be the audience that are | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
going to be grilling the leaders and if you remember what happened two | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
years ago down the road in Leeds, it was pretty ferocious. Of course, | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
there has been a lot of criticism of Theresa May, about her decision not | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
to attend the debate on Wednesday after Jeremy Corbyn changed his mind | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
and showed up. So expect those questions to come thick and fast. | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
Everything is ready. There is tight security, the police are doing | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
last-minute checks around the area, and as those polls narrow, there | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
really is everything to play for, so expect some heated debate, some | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
tough questions and some very interesting answers. Thank you for | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
that. Question Time is on BBC One | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
from 8.30pm this evening. The Met Police say they have so far | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
found no records of any calls to the anti-terrorist hotline | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
in relation to the Manchester bomber, despite a number of people | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
saying they had reported concerns It comes as Greater Manchester | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
Police have released new CCTV footage, showing Abedi in the city | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
in the four days leading Detectives say they're now | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
concentrating their investigation on the Rusholme area | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
and are appealing for witnesses More than 30 people | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
are reported to have died at a casino in the Philippines, | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
where a gunman opened fire The attacker also set | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
fire to gaming tables. Authorities say most of the people | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
who lost their lives Police had feared the attack | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
was terrorist related, but now The number of patients waiting more | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
than six months for routine operations and treatment has nearly | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
tripled over four years in England. That's according to the Royal | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
College of Surgeons, which analysed data from March 2013 - | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
a time when targets were being met. NHS England declined to respond | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
directly to the six-month figures. But a spokesperson has | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
said, "The NHS has cut the number of patients | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
waiting more than a year for treatment by nearly 13,000 | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
over the past five years". The Bulgarian linesman who failed | :12:29. | :12:38. | |
to spot Diego Maradona's infamous "hand of God" goal in the 1986 | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
World Cup has died. Many of you will remember how | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
the Argentinan leapt to punch the ball past Peter Shilton | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
into the net, during Bogdan Dochev, who died | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
at the age of 80, said the incident stayed | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
with him his whole life. He described Maradona as a great | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
footballer, but a small man - All through the morning, | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
Naga has been in Dunfermline talking about the issues affecting | :13:01. | :13:19. | |
voters in Scotland. We have been crisscrossing the UK | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
getting reaction ahead of the election. | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
We have ended up in Dunfermline, the ancient capital of Scotland, not far | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
from the home of golf. I wonder why I got sent it! We're talking to the | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
politicians. Two years ago there was a political shock wave when the SNP | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
won 56 of the 59 seats in Westminster. Labour was almost wiped | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
out as the Lib Dems, the Conservatives and Labour were left | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
with one seat each. Can the Tories, Labour and Lib Dem group back of | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
those seats? Joining us is someone from all other four main parties, | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Christine Jardine, Liberal Democrat candidate, Dean Lockhart, | :14:11. | :14:23. | |
Conservative, and Labour and SNP candidates. Welcome to breakfast. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
Let's start off with the SNP. We were looking up the newspapers | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
earlier and on the front pages, it focused a lot on Nicola Sturgeon's | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
approval ratings, at the lowest ever point, the papers are saying, | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
according to the polls, and they are suggesting that the reason is that | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
she is at her least popular moment because of a push or the quest for | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
independence. Do you think this has turned off voters? | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
I do not. People realise it is a Westminster election with big issues | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
decided over pensions, over Europe. Nicola Sturgeon remains popular. | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn... She remains popular with voters, as do | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
SNP policies and the policies we will pursue to draw back on | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
austerity and holds the Tories to account and work on having a | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
positive relationship with European partners that benefits jobs, | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
economy, education, research and the Food Drink industry. And you have | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
made a U-turn? We have always said... The Lib Dems want a | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
referendum that we have said at the end of the negotiation with the rest | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
of Europe, people in Scotland should be given a choice, given Scotland | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
voted overwhelmingly to remain part of the EU. And also we offered a | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
compromise, putting aside the independence referendum, a | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
substantial set of detailed proposals to remain in the single | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
market and maintain freedom of movement and the relationship with | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
European partners. You have not changed on the independence | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
referendum? We said we would give people a choice at the end of the | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
Brexit negotiations. Let's take a look at a story that made the front | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
page of The Times newspaper with the Labour Party saying they will use | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
the SNP to give us power. There seems to be a conflict. Emily | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
Thornberry saying no coalition is planned with the SNP. The | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
implication Jeremy Corbyn is keen to work with the SNP. What is your | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
message? The message is clear in the manifesto. Opposition to a second | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
independence referendum. I asked you about a coalition with the SNP. We | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
are working towards a Labour majority government. Any talk before | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
then is frankly speculation. You do not think the party is preparing to | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
have a coalition with the SNP? Not to my knowledge. Emily Thornberry is | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
talking about a minority government. You need to ask Emily about that. I | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
am campaigning for a Labour government, majority government, | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
because that is the best way we can deliver a strong set of proposals in | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
the manifesto. The Conservatives. Interesting what is happening at the | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
moment. Decision made on the referendum. I was talking to a | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
journalist earlier and he said Ruth Davidson is running away from | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
Theresa May's manifesto. Talking about the fox hunting U-turn, winter | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
fuel allowances and the disparity and how that relationship is going. | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
Do you accept she is running away from the party leader's message? I | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
do not. Devolution means we can have different policies. There is | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
difference and there is clashing. With winter fuel payments, we said | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
we have a different climate here and different needs. We have two strong | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
leaders in Theresa May and Ruth Davidson and I do not think there is | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
a difference in emphasis. There is a slight difference in policy but that | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
is not an issue. Ruth Davidson is not running away from Theresa May's | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
policies? No. Devolution is devolved powers to the Scottish Parliament | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
and using them where relevant in a different fashion for the needs of | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
Scottish people. Let me say, the SNP asked standing on a manifesto saying | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
they are stronger for Scotland and ten years in government in Scotland | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
shows they are not stronger for Scotland. Christine, let me talk | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
about the Liberal Democrats. A decision has been made on the | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
Scottish referendum. You said there is no need for another referendum | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
yet the decision was made on Brexit and you want another EU referendum. | :19:09. | :19:18. | |
Two very different decisions were made and different starting points | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
and end points. To give the S credit they gave a White Paper that | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
laid out the deal and it was rejected and once you have rejected | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
the deal there is nowhere else to go. With Europe, we never saw | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
anything except a bus with figures on it. People said no. We have no | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
idea what the deal is. Once we get the deal, which is where we were | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
with the SNP, then the British people have the right to say we are | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
better off where we are. I believe we are better off where we are and | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
as we see how bad the deal is going to be. There will be no good deal. I | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
said the Lib Dems, labour and Conservative have one seat. Are you | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
strong enough going on the anti-Brexit policy? That is not the | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
only thing we have. We have strong policies specifically for Scotland, | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
wanting to invest in health care, education, which the SNP have | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
forgotten about. The only thing they have given is legislation on a | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
referendum that took 44 days. The mental health strategy was 15 months | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
late and that we want to focus on. Christine, thanks. Thank you very | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
much all for your time. We will leave them to talk amongst | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
themselves. Matt has the weather. He has been at the Abbey. Where are | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
you? I am a little bit closer. I can see | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
the butty van. We have come into the park. Known locally as the glen. | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
This stowed on the residents of Dunfermline by Andrew card needy, | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
the world-famous philanthropist. He was born in Dunfermline -- Andrew | :21:09. | :21:19. | |
Carnegie. We are in here and it is beautiful surroundings. Grey skies | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
at the moment. The forecast is not the same everywhere. The rain is | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
separating humid air in eastern parts and something fresher further | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
west. Over the next hour we have rain clearing. Continuing to move | :21:37. | :21:45. | |
eastwards. To the west of that, across parts of Northern Ireland and | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Scotland, rain has cleared with sunny spells and one or two showers. | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
Still cloudy through much of eastern Scotland with rain. Lingering in | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
Shetland. Over the next two hours, rainy at times in northern England. | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
Down through western areas. Further south and east, starting dry. | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
Already feeling humid. Temperatures rocketing up where you have the | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
sunshine. The best of the sunshine through the morning. As it moves | :22:23. | :22:32. | |
into the humid air, we could see storms. 26-28d possible. Some storms | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
will be torrential in places. Further west, fresher. Many will | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
have an afternoon of sunshine with isolated showers. Tonight, showers | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
across eastern parts. Isolated showers in the west. The big story | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
will it will be cooler than the last few nights. Down into single figures | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
in parts. The south-east holding on to humidity but it will not last | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
long. Into Saturday and we will see humid air cleared away. England and | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
Wales probably enjoying the best of the sunshine on Saturday. Isolated | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
showers in the west. Scotland and Northern Ireland will have sunshine | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
interrupted by showers, some on the thundery side. Sunday, we do it all | :23:26. | :23:35. | |
again. Maybe more showers across England and Wales. The bulk of | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
showers in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The next days, UV levels | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
will be high. That is how it is looking. | :23:49. | :23:58. | |
Back to you. We are here with our Scotland correspondent. You have | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
avoided the food so far, very wise! I was talking to politicians, | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
questioning what they are tackling now. Six days until the polls. What | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
are they focusing on? A couple of big themes. The Unionist parties in | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
Scotland, they are trying to attack the SNP which remember was a party | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
of opposition at Westminster and a party of government in Scotland. | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
They are trying to attack the SNP record in government at Holyrood. | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
These are devolved issues and strictly speaking you should not be | :24:37. | :24:44. | |
voting on those in an general election. The S say they have a | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
lot to be proud of and are robustly defending their record but it is one | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
area of attack in the general election. The other is the Unionist | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
divided. That is a big issue. The parties that have the clearest | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
position constitutionally seem to be the ones cutting through. Looking at | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
the lie of the land at the last general election. The SNP are a very | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
big party, winning all but three seats at the last general election. | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
It would be hard for them to do any better this time. They are trying to | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
defend a large number of seats. They may lose some, but they will try to | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
keep the momentum and mood and they are fighting for them. How is Brexit | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
playing into the parties? The SNP said they want a seat at the | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
negotiating table over Brexit. They say a vote for them will strengthen | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
their hand in negotiations. It is an issue playing out on the doorstep. | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
People care greatly about this. The majority of people in Scotland voted | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
in favour of remaining in the EU. When you speak to people they are | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
concerned about the issue, be it they want to remain in the EU or | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
they want to they think is the best person to carry forward | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
negotiations, which is a big part of the Conservatives' strategy. It is | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
an issue people care about but when it comes to referendums, the one | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
uppermost is the possibility of a second independence referendum on | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
the doorsteps. The hats that is the one people are talking about more | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
and certainly the one the Unionist parties are talking about more. The | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
Unionist parties are saying no to a second referendum and making it part | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
of their campaign. We will speak to voters and politicians later. | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
That is the Dunfermline and district piping band. They will play you out | :26:54. | :27:06. | |
ahead of your getting big use where you are. | :27:07. | :30:28. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt here | :30:29. | :30:44. | |
in the studio,and Naga Munchetty is in Dunfermline. | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
Some wonderful shots from above the city. We have been all across the UK | :30:48. | :30:54. | |
as part of our general election coverage and this morning we are in | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
Scotland. This time next week we will know the result of the general | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
election. We will be going back to Dunfermline in a few minutes time. | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
Theresa May has expressed her disappointment over | :31:08. | :31:09. | |
President Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from | :31:10. | :31:11. | |
Mr Trump said the deal disadvantaged the US | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
World leaders have reacted with dismay to the move, | :31:16. | :31:22. | |
with Chinese and EU leaders meeting in Brussels to make a joint | :31:23. | :31:25. | |
The Conservatives have denied their immigration | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
policy is in confusion, after a minister played down Theresa | :31:32. | :31:33. | |
The Prime Minister appeared to signal her aim was to reduce | :31:34. | :31:46. | |
net migration to under 100,000 in the next five years. | :31:47. | :31:48. | |
But her Brexit Secretary, David Davis, sounded | :31:49. | :31:50. | |
a more cautious note - saying it was no more than an aim. | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
Elsewhere in the campaign, Labour is promising to create | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
a million new jobs, while the Lib Dems are warning | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
Jeremy Corbyn will say today that a Labour government | :32:01. | :32:06. | |
would pump ?250 billion into industry through | :32:07. | :32:08. | |
But the former Lib Dem Business Secretary, Sir Vince Cable, | :32:09. | :32:13. | |
believes both Labour and the Tories have turned their backs on business, | :32:14. | :32:15. | |
and will warn trade could drop by a third following Britain's | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn will face questions from a studio | :32:19. | :32:26. | |
audience tonight in a special edition of Question Time. | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
Our reporter, Danni Hewson, is in York ahead of the event, | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
but if viewers were hoping to see the pair go head-to-head | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
The set is up and the podium is ready. All it takes is for the | :32:37. | :32:48. | |
shrink wrap to come off, and of course, the leaders. There is a | :32:49. | :32:51. | |
great deal of anticipation ahead of the event tonight because this is | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
the first time Theresa May has faced a debate style format. She has faced | :32:55. | :32:59. | |
criticism for deciding not to attend the Leaders' Debate on Wednesday | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
when Jeremy Corbyn decided he would go along. If you are expecting a | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
head-to-head between Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May, you will be | :33:09. | :33:12. | |
disappointed. Instead, the audience will be asking the questions. It | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
will be chaired by David Dimbleby, his tenth election. A couple of | :33:18. | :33:23. | |
years ago in Leeds, it is the audience that makes it. Two years | :33:24. | :33:28. | |
ago they certainly brought the fireworks. With the poll in | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
narrowing, expect some pretty tough questioning tonight because there is | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
all to play for here. Six days of campaigning left to go before the | :33:38. | :33:39. | |
election on June eight. Question Time is on BBC One | :33:40. | :33:44. | |
from 8:30pm this evening. The Met Police say they have so far | :33:45. | :33:47. | |
found no records of any calls to the Anti-Terrorist hotline | :33:48. | :33:50. | |
in relation to the Manchester bomber, despite a number of people | :33:51. | :33:52. | |
saying they had reported concerns It comes as Greater | :33:53. | :33:55. | |
Manchester Police have released new CCTV footage, | :33:56. | :34:01. | |
showing Abedi in the city in the Detectives say they're now | :34:02. | :34:03. | |
concentrating their investigation on the Rusholme area | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
and are appealing for witnesses At least 36 bodies have been | :34:09. | :34:24. | |
recovered after an armed robber opened fire at a casino in the | :34:25. | :34:25. | |
Philippines. The attacker also set | :34:26. | :34:30. | |
fire to gaming tables. Authorities say most of the people | :34:31. | :34:31. | |
who lost their lives An attempt will be launched today | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
to oust Len McCluskey Gerard Coyne - who tried | :34:35. | :34:42. | |
and failed to defeat Mr McCluskey in an election | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
earlier this year - will ask the trade union regulator | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
to rule the contest was invalid. He says he was the victim | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
of repeated harassment by union employees, when he challenged | :34:52. | :34:53. | |
Unite's general A Unite spokeswoman said the union | :34:54. | :34:55. | |
had conformed with the law. A ten month old boy has crawled | :34:56. | :35:01. | |
to victory to be crowned The competition - held every year | :35:02. | :35:04. | |
in the capital Vilnius - sees babies scramble across a five | :35:05. | :35:12. | |
metre long red carpet, The toddler's trial. The parents | :35:13. | :35:23. | |
getting animated like Chelsea's Antonio Conte. But the early | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
frontrunners go off to a early. But it's taken by a nappy. | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
It was touch and go for a while, but here is young Mykolas Pociunas. | :35:35. | :35:40. | |
Was there a plan, did he hold back? He did sit at the start waiting for | :35:41. | :35:46. | |
the other babies to spend themselves out. Looking on the left of the | :35:47. | :35:57. | |
screen, we saw the winner. The others went off too fast and then | :35:58. | :36:00. | |
stopped within touching distance of the line. A fantastic sprint. He | :36:01. | :36:07. | |
seizes his chance to burst through. It shows you the power of support. | :36:08. | :36:13. | |
It was the support on the sideline. The dangling of the character. | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
Mobile phones and remote controls are used to lure the babies. And now | :36:19. | :36:21. | |
for the real world of sport... England are now billed as the | :36:22. | :36:32. | |
favourites to win their first over 50 over global tournament, the | :36:33. | :36:37. | |
Champions Trophy. Today is New Zealand against Australia at | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
Edgbaston. The other two teams in England's group looking to follow | :36:43. | :36:43. | |
the hosts great start. Joe Root made 133 not out | :36:44. | :36:46. | |
against Bangladesh in this opening match at the Oval, | :36:47. | :36:48. | |
as the bookmakers' favourites for the tournament reached | :36:49. | :36:51. | |
their target of 306 with 16 We're not the finished article, | :36:52. | :36:53. | |
we're not the perfect team, but we are definitely striving | :36:54. | :37:03. | |
to get better all the time. It's a really enjoyable team to bat | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
in and be a part of. Hopefully we can take a lot | :37:07. | :37:13. | |
of confidence from today And England should find out this | :37:14. | :37:15. | |
morning if all-rounder Chris Woakes will miss the rest | :37:16. | :37:23. | |
of the tournament, after he left after he left the field after two | :37:24. | :37:28. | |
overs yesterday with a side strain. It was a good day for Britain | :37:29. | :37:32. | |
at the French Open yesterday, with world number one Andy Murray | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
and Kyle Edmund both Murray had a tough battle, | :37:36. | :37:37. | |
with the world number He had to fight back | :37:38. | :37:41. | |
after losing the opening set, He'll face Juan Martin | :37:42. | :37:44. | |
Del Potro next. He has obviously been very | :37:45. | :37:54. | |
unfortunate with injuries through his career. This year he's also had | :37:55. | :38:00. | |
a lot of tough draws as well. Looking at the matches he has lost, | :38:01. | :38:04. | |
they have mainly been against the top guys early on in tournaments. I | :38:05. | :38:08. | |
think he deserves to be ranked higher than he is. I'm expecting it | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
to be very tough. While good sportsmanship was also | :38:12. | :38:14. | |
flowing in Paris, Nicolas Almagro was almost inconsolable | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
after he was forced to retire Smiling through his tears and really | :38:18. | :38:20. | |
frustrated. And so opponent | :38:21. | :38:28. | |
Juan Martin Del Potro A man who knows a thing, | :38:29. | :38:30. | |
or two about injuries, And Del Potro versus | :38:31. | :38:33. | |
Murray is a rematch Edmund beat Argentine Renzo Olivo | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
in straight sets to progress into round three in Paris | :38:37. | :38:40. | |
for the first time in his career. He'll be up against South African | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
Kevin Anderson next. What's on tomorrow morning including | :38:45. | :38:55. | |
the first match for the British and Irish Lions in their tour. It's an | :38:56. | :39:00. | |
invitation team they're playing against. The first taste of the New | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
Zealand crowd. Warren Gatland facing a team that includes his son, very | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
interesting. Looking forward to that. We will hear from Warren | :39:11. | :39:12. | |
Gatland about that tomorrow. Throughout the general election | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
campaign Breakfast has been crisscrossing the country to find | :39:17. | :39:18. | |
out about the issues Crossing the Forth Bridge, sticking | :39:19. | :39:20. | |
close to the speed limit. The van has been travelling across | :39:21. | :39:43. | |
the country and we have brought it here to Dunfermline. The ancient | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
capital of Scotland. The team is with me, Ben will be speaking to | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
voters this morning about their views and we are just six days from | :39:52. | :39:57. | |
the general election and casting our faults. Matt will deliver the | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
weather from the van. We have left the cooking to him. We have decided | :40:02. | :40:05. | |
I'm not a safe pair of hands. I have some politicians here this morning. | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
We were talking earlier but I will introduce you again. Christine | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
Jardine, candidate for Lib Dems in Edinburgh West. Dean Lockhart of the | :40:14. | :40:22. | |
mid-Scott Fife conservatives. Daniel Johnston, former MSP for Labour. And | :40:23. | :40:38. | |
the SNP candidate for Fife. What has perked our interest this morning, | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
The Times has a picture of Donald Trump after pulling out of the | :40:44. | :40:47. | |
climate change accord. The headline here it is, we will use the SNP to | :40:48. | :40:53. | |
give us Power says Labour. Jeremy Corbyn's plan for minority | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
government revealed, so says the Times. This morning Nicola Sturgeon | :40:58. | :41:00. | |
has spoken again to the BBC and she says if there is a hung parliament | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
then I would want the SNP to be part of a progressive alternative to the | :41:06. | :41:11. | |
Conservatives and not a coalition. Interesting she is working towards | :41:12. | :41:14. | |
this kind of partnership now. Is this what you expected? What I find | :41:15. | :41:19. | |
interesting, and we do have colleagues here from the Scottish | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
parliament, is that this old-fashioned idea that a party gets | :41:24. | :41:26. | |
a third of the vote and then has a majority, which happened to the | :41:27. | :41:32. | |
Tories last time, why can't parties have to work together? No political | :41:33. | :41:36. | |
party has a majority of the wisdom or a monopoly on wisdom. We see it | :41:37. | :41:41. | |
in other European countries and with the Scottish parliament where | :41:42. | :41:44. | |
parties have to work together. That doesn't mean coalition, it can mean | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
minority government and parties having priority. But if you have a | :41:49. | :41:54. | |
strong voice with the SNP, then Scotland has a stronger voice at | :41:55. | :41:59. | |
Westminster. Daniel, we were talking about whether or not Labour is | :42:00. | :42:02. | |
looking for a coalition with the SNP. The front page of The Times | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
says Jeremy Corbyn is, but Emily Thornberry says it will not work. | :42:08. | :42:11. | |
Nicola Sturgeon says she doesn't want one. The thing all political | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
parties have to look at in the lead up to an election is winning votes. | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
That's what Labour will try to do. It's interesting for Stephen Gethin | :42:20. | :42:28. | |
is with the prospect that only Labour can form a government in | :42:29. | :42:35. | |
England. The reality is, to gain influence in the UK Government, | :42:36. | :42:38. | |
that's the only way the SNP would do it. The reality is you will either | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
have a Conservative government or a Labour led government. Those are the | :42:43. | :42:48. | |
broad choices the public has. But Nicola Sturgeon doesn't want a | :42:49. | :42:50. | |
coalition and Jeremy Corbyn says he's to have one. We will see what | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
result we have in a week. In advance of that, I don't think... Any | :42:57. | :43:02. | |
politician can't predict what the result will be. You are shaking your | :43:03. | :43:09. | |
head stuck in it shows the chaos we would have if these two parties | :43:10. | :43:12. | |
formed a coalition together. If you vote for Labour you will get SNP, | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
and it also shows the only party you can trust with the union is the | :43:18. | :43:22. | |
Conservative Party. If there is a coalition between Labour and the | :43:23. | :43:26. | |
SNP, the SNP would demand another independence referendum as part of | :43:27. | :43:35. | |
that coalition. This line about the Conservatives making the union safe, | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
and the only party that can do that, is nonsense. We have to move on to | :43:41. | :43:50. | |
the voters soon. You say you disagree. We are 100% against | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
another Scottish referendum and against independence. The | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
Conservatives not the only party against independence. The SNP and | :44:01. | :44:03. | |
the Green party are the only ones who are for it. Dean is still | :44:04. | :44:09. | |
shaking his head. What's your right to reply. There are liberal | :44:10. | :44:14. | |
candidates in the election who have supported independence in the past. | :44:15. | :44:20. | |
There is a candidates sitting in Dundee in this election who has | :44:21. | :44:24. | |
campaigned for independence. It was in the newspapers yesterday. I think | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
the Lib Dems have a chequered history when it comes to being 100% | :44:29. | :44:37. | |
behind the union. The voters are listening to how you are talking and | :44:38. | :44:41. | |
what you are saying and the messages coming across. Ben is taking a look | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
at that. The great and good joining us for | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
breakfast this morning. A lot of debate already this morning over the | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
breakfast table about what the politicians have said and the | :44:54. | :44:56. | |
biggest issues when we go to the polls in six days' time. Brexit is | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
one of the big issues on the minds of voters. We can hear those | :45:02. | :45:08. | |
opinions. You have a shop in town. It's the heart of the community, a | :45:09. | :45:13. | |
law come to your shop, but you had a reaction on the morning of the | :45:14. | :45:14. | |
Brexit vote. 'S house on the morning of the vote | :45:15. | :45:25. | |
my initial reaction was to cry. I have never cried at a political | :45:26. | :45:30. | |
decision before. I have been angry but I haven't cried. The thing that | :45:31. | :45:36. | |
made me cry wasn't the Brexit, it was the bile and racism and vitriol | :45:37. | :45:42. | |
and misinformation seems to have swayed enough people to make that | :45:43. | :45:47. | |
decision. Not the perfectly legitimate people who want to exit | :45:48. | :45:50. | |
the European Union for other reasons. That is what upset me. I | :45:51. | :45:56. | |
thought that it made Britain a worse place to be. How does that affect | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
your voting intentions in six days? That in itself does not shake my | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
voting intentions. I am living the Brexit vote every day. The industry | :46:07. | :46:13. | |
that I am involved in, the UK comic book industry, has been brought to | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
its knees by the collapse of the pound because it is entirely import | :46:18. | :46:22. | |
based. Does it make things more expensive? Absolutely. There is a | :46:23. | :46:26. | |
finite amount of money in the economy and that is not money people | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
can afford to spend. There are comic shops closing every week. And real | :46:31. | :46:36. | |
people are losing their livelihoods and communities that have been built | :46:37. | :46:41. | |
up over decades. Jonathan, your view is very much the opposite. When it | :46:42. | :46:46. | |
comes to cost it about spending money? Yes, I think it would be good | :46:47. | :46:54. | |
to separate but I was hoping that when we did separate it increases | :46:55. | :46:57. | |
more home industries. We are a country of consumers, not | :46:58. | :47:02. | |
manufacturers. So I was hoping it would encourage people from farming | :47:03. | :47:08. | |
to manufacturing to everything, industries would increase rather | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
than decrease. I think that will happen. They have nowhere else to | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
go. The big supermarkets can't go to Spain or Europe. It might encourage | :47:17. | :47:23. | |
the small shops. It could be local rather than from overseas. Really | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
interesting. More from you guys later. You can see the difference in | :47:29. | :47:32. | |
debate over the breakfast table. Back to you, Nagata. | :47:33. | :47:37. | |
There is a difference of opinion here as well. We are going to get | :47:38. | :47:41. | |
your view about what the voters are saying about Brexit. Matt has been | :47:42. | :47:46. | |
put in charge of the cooking because I failed miserably at it. And he is | :47:47. | :47:51. | |
also really good at telling us about the weather as well. | :47:52. | :47:56. | |
Good morning, Matt. Thank you. I have taken it into my own hands. I | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
have been here several hours and I have not had breakfast yet. | :48:01. | :48:05. | |
Weather-wise, it is all dry. Lovely view of the park behind me. Should | :48:06. | :48:12. | |
stay dry through much of the day. Across the UK, it is an east-west | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
split. Eastern areas humid. Western areas turning fresher. In between we | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
have a weather front. That weather front is a cross is in Scotland at | :48:23. | :48:29. | |
the moment. Some outbreaks of rain. Confined to the likes of Shetland as | :48:30. | :48:31. | |
far as Easter in Scotland is concerned. To the west of the front, | :48:32. | :48:37. | |
fresh conditions. Some showers later on. The sunshine is coming through | :48:38. | :48:45. | |
and boosting the temperatures. The heat will really build into the | :48:46. | :48:48. | |
afternoon. As the weather front pushes eastwards during the day, it | :48:49. | :48:52. | |
does fragment a little bit into showers. Some people will not see | :48:53. | :48:55. | |
the rain across England and Wales. It interacts with that air in the | :48:56. | :49:03. | |
south-east and East Anglia, we could see temperatures of 28 degrees this | :49:04. | :49:06. | |
afternoon. Also some nasty thunderstorms. Most part of UK 17 to | :49:07. | :49:16. | |
19 degrees. And showers for the weekend. Showers most frequent in | :49:17. | :49:19. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland. Thank you, Matt. I'm so pleased that | :49:20. | :49:31. | |
we got the rain not coming here today. There was a concern about | :49:32. | :49:42. | |
that. It is all good. The weather is always glorious in Fife. We were | :49:43. | :49:47. | |
listening to the voters earlier talking about Brexit. I wanted to | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
get your thoughts on their concerns, Christine? The gentleman talking | :49:51. | :49:56. | |
about the effect on the comic book industry because of the collapse of | :49:57. | :49:59. | |
the plant, that is just the start of the problems we are going to face | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
because Brexit -- because of Brexit. We have 80,000 jobs in Scotland at | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
risk at the moment, which is why so many of us might find it frustrating | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
that Conservative representatives who were part of the campaign have | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
flipped and are telling people Brexit is fine. People are wondering | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
what is going on. I was a shopkeeper before I became an MSP. People think | :50:24. | :50:30. | |
of things in terms of currency. Small businesses get quite badly | :50:31. | :50:35. | |
affected. Costs go up immediately. They are buying things from the | :50:36. | :50:40. | |
continent. The cost of Brexit being borne by small shopkeepers down the | :50:41. | :50:45. | |
country. Small businesses are affected. Think about university | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
jobs, research jobs, food and drink industry. I was in Westminster MP of | :50:51. | :50:54. | |
the last parliament. What I frown frustrating was the lack of answers. | :50:55. | :50:58. | |
Freedom movement, doctors and nurses who work in the NHS. We weren't | :50:59. | :51:03. | |
getting these basic answers. I will agree with Daniel and Christine. | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
There is a human element. It is all very well debating this at this | :51:08. | :51:13. | |
level. But folk who don't know whether or not they can stay in the | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
UK, these are the answers they expect from us as politicians. We | :51:18. | :51:24. | |
should be able to give them. The attack is on a lack of clarity from | :51:25. | :51:31. | |
the Conservatives? That is work in progress. I voted to remain but I'm | :51:32. | :51:35. | |
a Democrat. I will respect the result. We need to make the best of | :51:36. | :51:42. | |
it. What we have tried to do is expedite a discussion on how we | :51:43. | :51:46. | |
protect EU citizens in the UK, because we value the contributions | :51:47. | :51:49. | |
they make. I'm very confident that we will get a good deal during the | :51:50. | :51:55. | |
negotiations. Because economically Europe exports more to the UK than | :51:56. | :52:01. | |
vice versa. So economically, it's in the interest of Europe to have a | :52:02. | :52:07. | |
good trade agreement with the UK. In the last Parliament iPod down along | :52:08. | :52:13. | |
with my party to give EU nationals certainty. Try to give the food and | :52:14. | :52:18. | |
to and the university sector that certainty as well. While I got | :52:19. | :52:22. | |
cross-party consensus, it was the Tories who blocked it. You could | :52:23. | :52:25. | |
have given people the certainty. You have that power. You can do it. I | :52:26. | :52:31. | |
don't think it is good enough to say it is work in progress. Brexit is | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
coming in 18 months. To say they will come up with a plan is not good | :52:37. | :52:44. | |
enough. The cost of not having access to people will be ?6 billion | :52:45. | :52:47. | |
to the economy. We need answers and how we are going to deal with these | :52:48. | :52:53. | |
is is now. Massive frustration. The voters are not sure now. It is | :52:54. | :52:58. | |
affecting them now. The Prime Minister has set out 12 objectives | :52:59. | :53:03. | |
in the negotiations. In the next 18 months what we will see our concrete | :53:04. | :53:06. | |
steps towards putting in place a strong trade agreement. Every single | :53:07. | :53:11. | |
European country outside of the EU has a free-trade agreement with the | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
EU. And I think we will enter up after this process having strong | :53:17. | :53:19. | |
agreement. Let me make one thing clear. In Scotland, 16% of our | :53:20. | :53:27. | |
exports go to the European Union. 65% of our trade is with the rest of | :53:28. | :53:33. | |
the UK. The SNP want to take us out of that single market with the UK | :53:34. | :53:36. | |
and prioritise the European markets. That is your party 's policy. The | :53:37. | :53:42. | |
Conservatives are not coming up with the big answers. Theresa May was | :53:43. | :53:49. | |
talking last night about immigration and encouraging people to come to | :53:50. | :53:52. | |
universities. Well actually, Hanukkah universities are now | :53:53. | :53:57. | |
included in the immigration figures. She has not guaranteed places for | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
European nationals who are here. Our universities are facing a situation | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
where they are going to be hit very hard by the Conservative policies. | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
We will lose foreign students, lose income and they are already | :54:10. | :54:17. | |
struggling. The voters have been listening to what you are insane. | :54:18. | :54:20. | |
We're have added talk about immigration and migration shortly. | :54:21. | :54:27. | |
Let's find out what the voters are saying. | :54:28. | :54:35. | |
I want to introduce you to Rachel. Let's talk about Brexit. What are | :54:36. | :54:44. | |
your concerns? Scotland voted to remain in the EU. Northern Ireland | :54:45. | :54:47. | |
did as well. It is really important we get the best deals. Some of you | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
will stand the up for Scotland and Northern Ireland in the | :54:53. | :54:55. | |
negotiations. When you vote, how will that figure? I will still be | :54:56. | :55:03. | |
voting SNP. Because they will stand up for Scotland. Chris, I want to | :55:04. | :55:12. | |
come. Brexit is one of those issues that is so divisive but will form | :55:13. | :55:17. | |
such an important part. How does it affect your business? I think it | :55:18. | :55:21. | |
affects it in many ways. I am pro-immigration. For me, anything | :55:22. | :55:28. | |
that creates instability and uncertainty creates a vacuum. Where | :55:29. | :55:32. | |
there is a vacuum, people make things up. It is not healthy. One of | :55:33. | :55:39. | |
the issues we talk about with regard to Brexit is free-trade. How does | :55:40. | :55:46. | |
that play out in Scotland? Geographically a little bit further | :55:47. | :55:50. | |
removed from the mainland of Europe. But exports still an important part | :55:51. | :55:54. | |
of the economy? It is a huge part. Going back to the point about | :55:55. | :55:57. | |
manufacturing, we need to manufacture more to help the export | :55:58. | :56:03. | |
balance from GDP perspective. It is certainly uncertain. The future will | :56:04. | :56:08. | |
be interesting. We live in interesting times. Albee, we talked | :56:09. | :56:14. | |
about the effect it has a new. When you hear from Chris saying there is | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
a very different view of what Europe means and what it stands for. That | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
is absolutely valid. A debate is what we are here for. It doesn't | :56:25. | :56:30. | |
affect me in that way. I don't agree that those opportunities are more | :56:31. | :56:32. | |
important than the opportunity within Europe. That is the only area | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
we differ on. It is an area of opportunity within or opportunity | :56:39. | :56:47. | |
out with, I favour within. When you get to the ballot box you will vote | :56:48. | :56:52. | |
in different ways? Yes, for me the shadow economy was one of the | :56:53. | :56:54. | |
reasons I voted. The economic reasons. Huge taxation that has not | :56:55. | :57:02. | |
been taken back from the population. We are subsidising that. I found | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
that personally distasteful. Fundamentally I'm very much | :57:07. | :57:08. | |
pro-immigration. We need immigration. It is a positive | :57:09. | :57:14. | |
political situation to be in. There was no middle ground. It was one or | :57:15. | :57:18. | |
the other. A perfect example of how things are so different, even in the | :57:19. | :57:25. | |
sent down, the same city, the same circumstances people vote very | :57:26. | :57:28. | |
differently. More from those voters later. We will find out what it | :57:29. | :57:31. | |
means on all sorts of different issues. | :57:32. | :57:33. | |
I am here with the politicians. We are going to be talking about | :57:34. | :57:36. | |
migration shortly. Another interesting topic. And how the views | :57:37. | :57:41. | |
in Scotland could be quite different from the rest of the UK when it | :57:42. | :57:45. | |
comes to migration. I'm also going to explain why that person, Robert | :57:46. | :57:51. | |
the Bruce, is over my right shoulder. He is buried in | :57:52. | :57:58. | |
Dunfermline Abbey. We will tell you a little story as well. It is time | :57:59. | :58:02. | |
to get a last brief look at what is happening where you are. We | :58:03. | :59:35. | |
to get a last brief look at what is The risk of a heavy downpour later | :59:36. | :59:38. | |
and top temperatures of 26. We will be back at 1:30pm. | :59:39. | :59:49. | |
Welcome back. You're watching breakfast and were coming to you | :59:50. | :59:55. | |
from Dunfermline. The ancient capital of Scotland. Robert the | :59:56. | :00:02. | |
Bruce is buried here. The place is steeped in history, the home and | :00:03. | :00:05. | |
birthplace of kings and queens and the resting place of Robert the | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
Bruce. We are talking about migration at the moment and we are | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
taking a look at how the issue which was really pertinent in the run-up | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
to the EU referendum, across the UK, but for many different reasons. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
Perhaps they were relevant in Scotland. Graham Satchel has been | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
looking at how voters in Scotland are addressing the issue and how it | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
plays into their mind ahead of the general election vote in six days. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
The people who make Glasgow today come from all over the world. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
I've been living here for over four years. | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
Glasgow styles itself as a friendly, welcoming city. | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
But, like the rest of the UK, it's seen record levels | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
of immigration in the last decade, and for some it's too much. | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
There's an awful lot of asylum seekers coming in, I have to admit. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
I think every country has to curtail the amount | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
The standard of this area has been rapidly downhill. | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
Economically, I don't know, but for living here, | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
the standard has gone right downhill. | :01:20. | :01:20. | |
That kind of concern about immigration is probably | :01:21. | :01:31. | |
in the end the main reason that England and Wales voted for Brexit. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Immigration here is a much more subtle, complicated and nuanced | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
issue than it is in the rest of the UK. | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
After World War II, up until around 2000, Scotland | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
We have more deaths than births in Scotland. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
The only way the labour force is growing, and has been growing | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
over the last 15 or 20 years, is through positive net migration. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
This is the Maryhill integration network, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
and a help session for newly arrived refugees in Glasgow. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
The Scottish Government has actively encouraged immigration | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
So 40% of the Syrians who have come to the UK, for example, | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
Syrian people, they are very active and they can do | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
So Syrians can help the Scottish people? | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
Many of them have skills and they can do something here. | :02:30. | :02:40. | |
The food we cook here is Punjabi food. | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Ajmal runs one of the biggest curry houses in Scotland | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
But he says Brexit and new tighter immigration rules from | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Westminster are already threatening his business. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
It's now nearly impossible to recruit Indian chefs from abroad. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
Basically, what we're saying to the rest of the world is, | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
we are closed for business and you are not welcome here. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
Can migration be managed to suit the needs of business on one side | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
and the worries many have about social cohesion? | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
Getting the balance right will be a challenge, | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
Some of the issues in Graham's report. Let's find out what some of | :03:24. | :03:40. | |
the voters this morning make of those issues. You have been working | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
and living in Scotland 16 years. How important is migration to Scottish | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
society? I think it's very important. Living in a society, I'm | :03:51. | :04:01. | |
working in health and social care, and we face the challenge of an | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
ageing population. Immigration adds to the young and skilled workforce | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
in this country. There was a decline in Scottish population. It adds to | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
the positive image of Scotland, opening up the door to migrants. We | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
are open to cultural diversity, it adds to learning about other | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
country's languages and customs and how to integrate. It also shows that | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
this country cares for the world, for the people who are suffering in | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
this world. It creates a positive image. I think immigration is a very | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
positive thing for the country and I'm very much in favour. It has | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
opened doors for me and my children. There is better education and better | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
health. I think immigration will add to the society was the all aspects, | :04:57. | :05:06. | |
the economy and cultural diversity. You're making the case for all the | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
benefits of migration. Alan, we have discussed whether you think the | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
system needs to be reformed. It's one of the big issues in the | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
election, as well as Brexit. What reform do you think there needs to | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
be to the system? Just before I answer that, I associate my feelings | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
of immigration being a positive thing. The reform I would like to | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
see is that I believe current immigration policy is | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
discriminatory, driven by 274,000 net migration of mainly white people | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
from Europe. It's very difficult for brown people from the Indian | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
subcontinent, black people from the Caribbean and Africa, to come to | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
Britain. I think that's almost racist, it needs fixing and we need | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
to welcome people to Scotland based on their skills, education and | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
abilities, not the colour of their skin. We'll come back to that point. | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
We will speak to Jonathan about the skills issue. You want to see the | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
immigration system based on skills, not anything else, but a need for | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
workers in the country. The country to develop on its own needs to bring | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
in skilled people to develop industries to help those industries | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
and then Scotland will grow by itself. If you bring in people | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
without skills you don't have the ability to train them when you can | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
train your own people. How'd you identify what skills are needed? | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
Scotland has an engineering background, the oil industry, | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
shipyards, IT. There is more we can do, especially if we come out of | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Brexit. We need to develop industry, even farming. Sheep and cattle, | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
whatever. Skills are required to support all industries. We don't | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
have the work staff to do that and there is a real shortage. You moved | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
here in 2003 from Poland. Your family is here. Have attitudes in | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
Scotland changed to immigration? There has always been a different | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
landscape in Scotland with regards immigration. I have to say we are | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
very lucky here and very proud to live and contribute in Scotland. | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
People in Scotland have noticed that contribution, that positive | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
contribution, that migrants make to the Scottish economy, culture, and | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
socially as well. Therefore it's been very different here than down | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
south. I think it's also due to the fact that our politicians in | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Scotland have had a very civilised debate about immigration. For a | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
number of years. Especially in the context of Brexit. Post the EU | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
referendum, we haven't noticed an increase in race crime in Scotland | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
that we have noticed down south in the UK. I think we have to thank our | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
politicians for that, across all the main political parties. With the | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Scottish Government being so progressive and openly talking about | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
positive impact of migration in Scotland, we are obviously very | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
grateful, as migrants, for this. Politicians are listening to that, | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
and we can head back to them now. They are taking diligent notes. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Dean, last night we heard Theresa May talking about targeting | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
migration. We have heard that before from the Conservatives, down to the | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
tens of thousands over the next five years, by 2022, over the course of | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
the next Parliament. It was failed to be delivered after the general | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
election of 2010. Why should voters have faith in you and your party and | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Theresa May in doing this? I think it's across the board, the value of | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
migrants and what they had to the economy in Scotland and across the | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
UK. -- what they have added to the economy. There is a real consensus | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
there. There is a skills shortage in Scotland and we need access to | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
global talent from Europe and elsewhere around the world. Can we | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
talk about your party leaders promise to reduce net migration to | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
the tens of thousands which hasn't been achieved by the Conservatives | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
yet. It wasn't possible within the context of free movement within the | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
European Union. That was one of the key pillars of the EU. Depending on | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
the negotiation with the EU, we can now have more flexibility with where | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
we take migrants from to fill the skills gaps. In terms of Brexit, the | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
key question in this election is who we want at the negotiating table to | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
negotiate the best deal for the UK. Do we want Jeremy Corbyn or Theresa | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
May? But we are talking about migration. We have already spoken | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
about... I think some myth busting needs to go on. First and foremost, | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
only about half of net migration comes from Europe, the other half is | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
from the rest of the world, where we do have controls. The government has | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
failed to make a dent in that. I think Dean started his comments | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
talking about the positive impact of migration and then pivots to the | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
same arguments about what we can get out of migrants. I think that's | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
completely the wrong attitude. We need to have a positive and | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
welcoming attitude. Frankly, we need those skills. We need them in the | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
health service and key industries. You have heard what the voters have | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
said about migration. Scotland is a country built on migration. I don't | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
think there are any of us at this table whose ancestors all come from | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
Scotland. They come from Ireland, Italy, and other countries. We value | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
migrants in this country. The thought of limiting to tens of | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
thousands, that something not popular in Scotland because we need | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
the influx of population. As one of the voters mentioned, the | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
demographic, we will have an older population and we need younger | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
people coming in, foreign students coming to our universities. There is | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
a real fear that the economy and economic growth could be damaged. By | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
this Conservative policy that seems to be aiming for a small sector of | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
the population who don't support immigration. People are still | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
concerned about migration. It was a huge issue ahead of the EU | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
referendum. You are not in, they are concerned, but they are disappointed | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
because they didn't get what they wanted when it Conservatives | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
promised to reduce it to the tens of thousands. Migration has been a good | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
thing. The food and drink sector, farms, universities bringing in | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
skilled people. It's a two-way process. I benefited from freedom of | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
movement and working overseas. One of the young people you are speaking | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
to is sitting higher politics today. That's very brave coming on first | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
and good luck. But I want to see young people have the same | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
opportunities I had. That means a two-way process on migration. It's | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
good for the economy and for young people to give them opportunities. | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
With young people, we have youth unemployment of 12% in Scotland. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
This is an opportunity that has been recognised by your colleagues in the | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Scottish Parliament, we have the opportunity to skill up unemployed | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
youth and bring them into the workforce because that's essential | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
for young people. We also need to recognise there have been committees | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
where there have been the consequences of immigration. We need | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
to make sure there is investment, especially in housing, because that | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
is where we have seen in fact. Politicians have not been good at | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
addressing the impact on infrastructure. I would love to talk | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
more, but I'm grateful for you joining us. We are grateful to the | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
voters as well. Thank you all very much for your time. We have been in | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
Dunfermline this morning, the ancient capital of Scotland. Thank | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
goodness the rain has stayed away. We have been speaking to voters and | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
getting their opinions. Good luck in your politics exam this afternoon! | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
It is so appropriate. The Dunfermline and district pipe band | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
has been keeping us company all morning. We hope you have enjoyed | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
our company. Have a good weekend and goodbye. | :13:26. | :13:46. | |
In the countryside, the air is filled with birdsong, | :13:47. | :13:51. |
