hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. reports suggest the conservative party is yet to to find more than 100 candidates across the uk, with 48 hours to go. the un secretary—general antonio guterres said today "we are at a moment of truth" when it comes to the climate targets we have set.

his comments came in response to new figures that reveal the world is rapidly burning through its carbon budget. provisional data from the eu's climate service copernicus shows that for each of the past 12 months temperatures have broken the respective monthly record. the sequence started injune 2023 with the hottestjune, all the way through to may 2024 as the hottest may. most of the heat is due to climate change, with a small contribution from the el nino weather pattern. we the peoples versus the polluters and the profiteers. together, we can win. but it's time for leaders to decide whose side they are on. tomorrow, it will be too late. now is the time to mobilise. now is the time to act. now is the time to deliver. this is our moment of truth. and i thank you. but across europe, we are experiencing

something of a "greenlash". there is resistance to the transition wherever you look. the parties that make up the greens/european free alliance are currently the fourth—biggest group in the european parliament, but ahead of this weekend elections most polls suggest they could lose as many as 30% of their seats. the debate over climate is pretty lukewarm here in britain, with confusion over whether labour is still truly committed to its green investment plan and what all that might cost. yesterday, the labour leader insisted he does have a plan to make britain energy independent, through investement in renewable sources. a transition is coming. that's very important when it comes, for example, to energy, a transition to renewables. i don't think we should just see that as a challenge. it's a huge opportunity, because if we go to renewable energy, that means cheaper bills. renewables are cheaper, not just for the short term but for the long term. it gives us energy security. so it means that putin can't put his boot on our throat and the result you've all been

feeling for the last two years. but it also gives us the next generation ofjobs. other countries have realised renewables is the future. they're in the race. i want the uk to be in the race. i want us to win the race. labour is pledging a �*proper�* windfall tax in line with the secretary generals demands. which will help fund some of its other pledges. but they have been attacked by the conservatives and on monday night, by the snp leaderjohn swinney, whose party has also been rolling back its previous green commitments. full tax on the oil and gas giants to make sure we're putting more money into people's pockets to lower the bills, as well as investing in the clean energy of the future so we can lower bills for good. danger of your position on us is that that is going to lead to the loss of tens

of thousands ofjobs in the north east of scotland. now that, i'm afraid, is a price that is not worth. fast tracking the transition to renewables and low carbon sources, where they differ is how fast that should happen. it is where they differ is how fast that should happen-— where they differ is how fast that should happen. it is weird how and how fast we _ should happen. it is weird how and how fast we did _ should happen. it is weird how and how fast we did carbonized - should happen. it is weird how and how fast we did carbonized is - how fast we did carbonized is probably going to be one of the big dividing lines of the next parliament is not necessarilyjust along party lines but it is not being discussed is much as many opinion polls suggest people would like it to be in there something weird about the selection. if you look forward, climate change and decarbonization in reaching that zero by 2,050 is the law of the land of the moment. they'll probably be the biggest challenge he faces a country in the next 20 years in the stopping discussed as we look forward and what's the big things cover the start of the last 1a years? with the european union and brexit is stopping discussed either, just give a short term in the moment cost election which is not looking back to the big decisions which have

been may be crucially is looking forward to the big ones we need to make in the future either. and the bye election last year, labor seems a little hesitant to go out talking about climate change what is required. i out talking about climate change what is required.— out talking about climate change what is required. i don't think they want to remind _ what is required. i don't think they want to remind people _ what is required. i don't think they want to remind people of - what is required. i don't think they want to remind people of having . what is required. i don't think they| want to remind people of having to downscale — want to remind people of having to downscale the original plan of $20 billion_ downscale the original plan of $20 billion a _ downscale the original plan of $20 billion a year and create investment which _ billion a year and create investment which is _ billion a year and create investment which is not — billion a year and create investment which is not been with a significantly downscaled and that is one of— significantly downscaled and that is one of the — significantly downscaled and that is one of the few really big plans that the labour— one of the few really big plans that the labour party has or says they had and — the labour party has or says they had and there's a residency there. and we _ had and there's a residency there. and we know that he is not to climate — and we know that he is not to climate change very seriously and he had to _ climate change very seriously and he had to he _ climate change very seriously and he had to be dragged kicking and screaming because borisjohnson was --oin screaming because borisjohnson was going there and he sees anything to do with— going there and he sees anything to do with climate change is a culture

frankly, you're misinformed. they said that at all the elements of climate denial, it is not real, it is not us, it is not bad, we can fix it, it's too late. but there might be palatable to a lot of people out there. you cannot put the cost of this on the back of people, can you? cost of this on the back of people, can ou? ., , ., ., ., can you? the uk has done more than most countries, _ can you? the uk has done more than most countries, if _ can you? the uk has done more than most countries, if not _ can you? the uk has done more than most countries, if not the _ can you? the uk has done more than most countries, if not the vast - most countries, if not the vast majority — most countries, if not the vast majority of _ most countries, if not the vast majority of countries - most countries, if not the vast majority of countries and - most countries, if not the vast . majority of countries and moving towards — majority of countries and moving towards that _ majority of countries and moving towards that zero. _ majority of countries and moving towards that zero. we _ majority of countries and moving towards that zero. we have - towards that zero. we have drastically _ towards that zero. we have drastically cut _ towards that zero. we have drastically cut our- towards that zero. we have drastically cut our carbon . towards that zero. we have - drastically cut our carbon emissions and this— drastically cut our carbon emissions and this is— drastically cut our carbon emissions and this is one _ drastically cut our carbon emissions and this is one place _ drastically cut our carbon emissions and this is one place where - and this is one place where genuinely— and this is one place where genuinely a _ and this is one place where genuinely a world - and this is one place where genuinely a world leader. l and this is one place where - genuinely a world leader. there's a question— genuinely a world leader. there's a question here — genuinely a world leader. there's a question here of— genuinely a world leader. there's a question here of what _ genuinely a world leader. there's a question here of what should - genuinely a world leader. there's a question here of what should we i genuinely a world leader. there's a i question here of what should we pay more _ question here of what should we pay more costs— question here of what should we pay more costs to — question here of what should we pay more costs to cover— question here of what should we pay more costs to cover the _ question here of what should we pay more costs to cover the backs - question here of what should we pay more costs to cover the backs of- more costs to cover the backs of countries — more costs to cover the backs of countries like _ more costs to cover the backs of countries like china _ more costs to cover the backs of countries like china which - more costs to cover the backs of countries like china which are i more costs to cover the backs of. countries like china which are much more _ countries like china which are much more power— countries like china which are much more power plants _ countries like china which are much more power plants and _ countries like china which are much more power plants and people, - countries like china which are much more power plants and people, thej more power plants and people, the cost of— more power plants and people, the cost of heat — more power plants and people, the cost of heat pumps _ more power plants and people, the cost of heat pumps and _ more power plants and people, the cost of heat pumps and it _ more power plants and people, the cost of heat pumps and it is - cost of heat pumps and it is connected _ cost of heat pumps and it is connected to— cost of heat pumps and it is connected to energy - cost of heat pumps and it is connected to energy bills, i cost of heat pumps and it is - connected to energy bills, energy bills have — connected to energy bills, energy bills have gone _ connected to energy bills, energy bills have gone up _ connected to energy bills, energy bills have gone up and _ connected to energy bills, energy bills have gone up and he - connected to energy bills, energy bills have gone up and he might. connected to energy bills, energy - bills have gone up and he might come down if— bills have gone up and he might come down if you _ bills have gone up and he might come down if you start _ bills have gone up and he might come down if you start doing _ bills have gone up and he might come down if you start doing things - bills have gone up and he might come down if you start doing things like - down if you start doing things like tracking _ down if you start doing things like tracking step _ down if you start doing things like fracking step cracking _ down if you start doing things like fracking step cracking down - down if you start doing things like fracking step cracking down on . down if you start doing things like

to hold two contradictory perspectives simultaneously. one is the most people go along with the narrative the climate change is happening and that it is man—made and it's very bad thing and measures are to be taken against it. but on the other hand, when it comes to actually changing their own lifestyles, they are much more resistant to it and i know people who if you had a conversation with them would be sounding off about the need to combat climate change and yet they walk out of the pub and jumped in a four by four and drive home. ~ ., , jumped in a four by four and drive home. ~ . , ., ., home. were all guilty of that, our 20? i don't _ home. were all guilty of that, our 20? i don't have _ home. were all guilty of that, our 20? i don't have a _ home. were all guilty of that, our 20? i don't have a car. _ home. were all guilty of that, our 20? i don't have a car. will- home. were all guilty of that, our 20? i don't have a car. will be - 20? i don't have a car. will be burned at _ 20? i don't have a car. will be burned at home, _ 20? i don't have a car. will be burned at home, and - 20? i don't have a car. will be burned at home, and some i 20? i don't have a car. will be . burned at home, and some minor lifestyle, were all guilty of that. we are and what is made about energy costs and the uk government has been reluctant to try to impose the punitive measures on energy

companies that been profiting very strongly if you compare the cap which we had in britain and the captain we had in france, the companies have not been able to charge nearly as much for it and it is a consequence of government decisions and the cost of living crisis feeds into this very greatly and i would imagine that the focus groups that the parties rely on have really told them not to be as emphatic about climate change is perhaps some of them would want to be. ~ ., perhaps some of them would want to be. . . . , ., perhaps some of them would want to be. . , ., be. what about the scramble to fill the seats, be. what about the scramble to fill the seats. the _ there are reports tonight that the conservative party is yet to to find more than 100 candidates across the uk, with 48 hours to go. but there are concerns within the party that some seats have been kept empty until it is too late to run a selection process, so that the conservative leadership can hand—pick their own candidates. point in case the constituency of basildon and billericay in which the tory mpjohn baron had

a majority of 20,000. he announced in october he would be leaving parliament. the local association were told they would get a choice of three hopefuls from the national party. but the hq rang last night to say "you're just getting one". and that would be conservative chairman richard holden who lost his nw durham seat in this years boundary changes. political commentator michael cricks says all parties have a case to answer on their methods of selection. let me just remind you that basildon billericay, the sitting mp there, john barron, announced his retirement not last week, not last month. he announced it last october. you know, nine, eight, eight or nine months ago, they could have they could have chosen 100 candidates in that time. and it was you know,

it was clearly being held back in the same way the labour trick. what they did and this is even worse because it's corrupt. they persuaded mps who plan to announce their retirements to leave it till the last moment, and they dangled in front of these mps the possibility of getting a peerage. is this where democracy is usually decided by those who the candidates in place? it is decided by those who the candidates in lace? ,. ., , decided by those who the candidates in lace? ,. . , ,., in place? it is certainly where us a form or another _ in place? it is certainly where us a form or another to _ in place? it is certainly where us a form or another to bring _ in place? it is certainly where us a form or another to bring him - in place? it is certainly where us a form or another to bring him who | form or another to bring him who becomes labor candidate and the conservative candidate in many seats in the electorate have no role in that and sometimes, as we see, very few people in the parties. and in an ideal world, few people in the parties. and in an idealworld, it few people in the parties. and in an ideal world, it would be great at constituency mp is a genuine local roots and we know the knocking on doors and getting the vote out, volunteering is all part of being part of a local party and you can understand the frustration in some quarters where people are parachuted in but it's notjust the

conservatives and the chairman of the party, there are several members of the national executive committee who have been parachuted into constituencies that is suspected of only seen before on the map and when there's a snap election where people expect of the end of the autumn, there are plenty of seats that are to be filled in the last minute and this bit of an unseemly scramble. it this bit of an unseemly scramble. it doesn't seem to bother rishi sunak because this is 391 constituencies that didn't have a candidate is in their 89 in london that don't have one and are looking to fill it stop . some times a lot of people are willin: to . some times a lot of people are willing to and — . some times a lot of people are willing to and perhaps _ . some times a lot of people are willing to and perhaps less - . some times a lot of people are - willing to and perhaps less winnable and a _ willing to and perhaps less winnable and a reflection _ willing to and perhaps less winnable and a reflection of _ willing to and perhaps less winnable and a reflection of the _ willing to and perhaps less winnable and a reflection of the fact - willing to and perhaps less winnable and a reflection of the fact that - willing to and perhaps less winnable and a reflection of the fact that i - and a reflection of the fact that i think— and a reflection of the fact that i think a _ and a reflection of the fact that i think a lot — and a reflection of the fact that i think a lot of— and a reflection of the fact that i think a lot of conservatives - and a reflection of the fact that i think a lot of conservatives have j think a lot of conservatives have given—

giving an in—house interview before their legal challenge became public, the city chairman was asked about the alleged 115 breaches. and that's all the sport for now. hello. today has brought a rather chilly feel to the weather across many parts of the uk, particularly when you consider we are now intojune. that said, a bit of sunshine did make it feel relatively warm — the sun is strong at this time of year. there have been lengthy sunny spells, particularly down towards the south. further north, you can see a few more shower clouds on the satellite picture. those showers feeding in from the north—west on quite a brisk wind, which is also bringing us this supply of relatively chilly air

and temperatures certainly dropping away as we go through tonight. although, this zone of cloud here sliding its way eastwards across england and wales, that mightjust hold the temperatures up a little bit. where we have the clearest of the skies, northern england, northern ireland up into scotland will be down into single digits, maybe close to freezing in one or two sheltered spots in the countryside. now we start tomorrow morning with a bit more cloud in the mix for some central and eastern parts of england, maybe the odd shower. that should tend to break up and then we're back to sunshine and showers. the showers most plentiful across northern areas. the odd heavy thundery one again across scotland. still quite windy in the far north, but further south, not as breezy as it has been today. those temperatures still a touch below the average for the time of year — 12 to 17 degrees covers it for most of us. now, as we move out of thursday into friday, we've still got low pressure to the north of us and this little frontal system here working its way southwards. a band of rain with that moving across scotland, northern ireland, down into northern england as we go through the day, tending to break up into something more showery. further showers racing

into the north—west of scotland, where again, it will be quite windy and a bit more cloud around down towards the south. temperatures, though, a little bit higherfor some of us — 19 degrees in london, stilljust 11 for lerwick and for stornoway. this area of high pressure out towards the west, it is making some attempts to build its way in, but not making an awful lot of progress, so saturday, still dominated by low pressure, bringing showers or perhaps longer spells of rain across scotland. the odd shower into northern ireland, northern england, further south, not as many showers, more dry weather, some spells of sunshine. those temperatures, though, pretty much stuck in that range between 11 and 19 degrees. similar temperatures for the second half of the weekend on sunday. the showers mostly across the north, drier weather further south.

when we were passing the white cliffs of dover, the sergeant passed and said, "take a good look, boys." he said, "many of you will never see that again."
