because of the the economic burdens imposed by the treaty. his predecessor, barack obama, whose administration signed the accord, said it was a decision to reject the future. mr trump made the announcement despite several appeals from the united nations to respect the future of the planet. our correspondent nick bryant has more details. june the 1st, 2017, it is a day that will be talked about for years, maybe decades to come. it was such a momentous decision from donald trump. he showed today for him, america first, means america first. the white house rose garden, the most fragrant of settings for what environmentalists will see as a toxic presidential decision. 0ne

that affects ecosystems all over the planet from donald trump's back lawn, to the mightiest of oceans and ice sheets. in order to fulfil my duty to protect america and its citizens, the united states will withdraw... from the paris climate accord. he slammed this global agreement, a legacy of barack obama, claiming it gave china and other countries an unfair competitive advantage and penalised american workers. from the first word to its last, this was an america first address. this agreement is less about the climate and more about other countries gaining a financial advantage over the united states. the rest of the world applauded when we signed the paris agreement, they

went wild, they were so happy. for the simple reason that it put our country, the united states of america, which we all love, at a very, very big economic disadvantage. at what point does america get demeaned? at what point do they start laughing at us as a country? we want fair treatment for its citizens and we want fair treatment for our taxpayers. we don't want other leaders and other countries laughing at us anymore and they won't be. they won't be. i was elected to represent the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris. for donald trump it is all about the art of the deal. he said he wants to negotiate a better one for america. but he didn't seem that worried if

the rest of the world doesn't agree to one. in negotiations to renter, either the paris accord, or in really entirely new transactions, on terms that are fair to the united states, its businesses, its workers, its people, its taxpayers, so we're getting out but we will start to negotiate and we will see if we can make a deal that's fair and if we can, that's great, and if we can't, that's fine. climate change is an american problem too. vert florida, a floodline, rising sea levels risk turning miami beach into a modern day atlantis. a city sub#34er7b8ged by water. even on sunny days it can get water—logged as the tides bring

the water up to the doorsteps. further up the coast, the estate here of the president, it is estimated that a quarter of it could be under water in a decade. no wonder the local residents are alarmed. 0ur so—called president think it is isa 0ur so—called president think it is is a chinese hoax. i mean, i can't believe it. i live right in the middle of climate change every day. we are so affected here. how dare the leader of this great country say it doesn't exist! travel to the mist west coal and rust belt, there is a different view. here, the paris agreement is seen as a killer of americanjobs but agreement is seen as a killer of american jobs but head further west to california, a state that long set the pace on green issues on america, there is a democratic governor who promised to conduct his own climate change negotiations with the president of china.

donald trump has gone awol. now it is up to the president of china and for california to work with him and other countries to do whatever we can to off set the negative pathway chosen by president trump. this is a decision of enormous planetary and geopolitical significance. critics claiming america has abdicated leadership on the world's biggest problem, that america first, means aamerica alone. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. the european commission said it deeply regretted the decision by the united states to withdraw from the paris climate agreement, saying it would seek new alliances to combat climate change. "the eu deeply regrets the unilateral decision by the trump administration to withdraw the us from the paris agreement," the european commission said after us president donald trump announced his country's withdrawal from the deal. one of the first to respond to the annoucecment was mr trump's predecessor, barack obama, whose administration signed the treaty. mr 0bama accused the president of rejecting the future. 0ur science editor, david shukman, considers the response and the likely impact

of the president's decision. with new records for temperatures set around the world, and scientists warn being the raising ice and sea levels, nearly ercountry in the world had agreed to try to cut the greenhouse gases that are heating the atmosphere. they came together amid jubilant scenes, ushering the atmosphere. they came together amidjubilant scenes, ushering in the paris aagreement, negotiated in 2015, the first global attempt to tackle climate change, a landmark deal that america has now dealt a major blow. this is a terrible day for international efforts to combat climate change, the biggest issues that the world faces. 195 countries signed the paris climate agreement and for the second largest polluter in the world, to say that we don't ca re in the world, to say that we don't care anymore is in the world, to say that we don't care anymore is a gesture in the world, to say that we don't care anymore is a gesture of co nte m pt to care anymore is a gesture of contempt to the rest of the world. under the agreement, the countries pledged to cut emissions of carbon dioxide. the aim to limit the rise in global average temperature to 2 celsius but the promise of $100

billion a yearfor the celsius but the promise of $100 billion a year for the poor countries to cope with the effect. so with america pulling out, how will other countries react? china is forging ahead with a huge push for renewable energy. a partnership between china and america, the two biggest polluters was the foundation stone of the paris agreement but today, the chinese government was clear. translation: china will continue to implement promises made in the paris agreement, to move towards the 2030 goals step by step, steadfastly. but we hope to do this in co—operation with others. but for trurm trump, what matters is the plight of the us coal industries. he wants to revive it. but as things stand, the number of americans working in coal is dwarfed by those with jobs in the solar and the wind industries. so what does this decision by donald trump mean? well, leaving the paris

agreement is a four—year process. but there will be a halt to us funding for un climate projects. $2 billion due by 2020. on the other hand, donald trump has spoken of renegotiation, offering the prospect of reentering the agreement, though it will not be easy given the criticism of big players such as china and india this evening. on the tiny islands of the pacific, threatened with the rising seas, the paris accord was seen as a salvation, tonight they are critical of what donald trump has done. certainly this is difficult for our country which is low—lying and at the forefront of the climate impact. in the maldives we have been going through these challenges constantly. last year america played a leading role in tackling climate change. but then, the secretary of state, john

kerry brought his granddaughter to the signing of the paris agreement. the president is not in fact making america great again in this, he is weakening america, he is losing jobs, he is exposing americans to worst climate change. so will the deal survive? well the key may lie in renewable technologies likes solar and wind which have tumbled in cost. so with or without the agreement, a low carbon future may make sense boxing day. david shuckman, bbc news. in the statement made in the past couple of hours and more reaction but first we go back to nick there in north america. the reaction there, nick. after all, this is the president doing something he promised to do? yes. people like barack obama are saying this is president trump rejecting the future. he says he hopes that cities

and states and businesses will step. he said in the last few minutes a green alliance forged between the green alliance forged between the green states. and the new york city mayor slammed this decision as immorale. but this is what they are saying on the west coast and the east coast but it is not what is said in the american heartland says donald trump. it is there it took hold. that the paris accord was a job killer and the reduce and coal states are the important electoral region of america. donald trump has angered many people around the world but pleased the people that put him in the white house. nick, thank you. we are going brussels. qatar is there. the president is talking of renegotiating in some form. but what is the response in brussels among the europeaning leaders? europe is

ina the europeaning leaders? europe is in a defiant mood. in paris, the town hall has been lit up in green in support of the environment. we have had a joint statement from germany, italy and france, saying that they regret donald trump's decision, that contrary to what he suggested that the paris climate accord is not renegotiable and that the fight against climate change will continue without the united states. as luck has it for the eu, tomorrow is the annual eu china summit so that gives them the chance to stand side by side with the biggest polluter and to give a joint statement on the accord. the decision of donald trump comes hot on the heels with the meetings with the leaders here at the g7 commit. but i urge caution, in the end the eu has a lot more in common with the us than it does with china. this is

a tense and difficult moment in a close relationship but it is not the end of it. thank you katya adler and nick brya nt thank you katya adler and nick bryant in the white house for us in washington. the european union says it wants to start brexit negotiations on the 19th ofjune just 11 days after the election. on the campaign trail today, both conservatives and labour insisted they would be ready for the challenge if they formed the next government. theresa may told supporters that britain would be more prosperous outside the eu, whilejeremy corbyn accused mrs may the european union says it wants to start brexit negotiations of creating a toxic climate in talks with european partners. our politica editor, laura kuenssberg, has the latest. you can see who seems to be enjoying it more, but whoever‘s in charge next week, taking us out of the european union is their biggestjob, their biggest opportunity, and the biggest danger too. i am confident that we can fulfil the promise of brexit together and build a britain that is stronger, fairer and even more prosperous than it is today, because the promise of brexit

is great, the opportunities before us enormous. we in labour understand that getting the right deal, one that secures our country's interest for the long—term, will be challenging. a matter of serious planning and negotiations, not hectoring and threats. labour is ready. ready to deliver a deal that gives british business and british society the chance to thrive in a post—brexit world. beyond those big claims, though, there's a lot we just do not know, about how the next occupant of this place would approach everything once in charge when whitehall really has to get down to work to make brexit happen. both main parties say freedom of movement would come to an end, the prime minister claims it would make hitting her immigration target easier. we will be able to control our own borders, ensuring that we continue to attract the brightest and the best to work or study in this country,

but ensuring that we have control of that process so that it's managed properly. but neither the tories nor labour will be explicit about the kind of new system they'd introduce. what about eu citizens here and brits abroad? well, the tories say they will be generous but won't guarantee their rights until the same promises are made for uk citizens. but labour... we will start by giving a fair commitment to every eu national we will start by giving a clear commitment to every eu national who lives here and works here who contributes a huge amount to our society, they will be guaranteed their existing rights and remain in this country. we're out of the single market, a huge european free trading area under both of the main parties‘ plans who say they'd negotiate good terms instead, but the scottish national party want a different deal for scotland. we need to try to stay in the single market to protect jobs and investment and living standards and we need strong snp mps in the

house of commons arguing for that. but leaving the eu means huge changes to the law and who's in charge? theresa may declared that it will be our supreme courts and not the european courts that will be in overall charge. but it might not be that straightforward because the continentaljudges oversee some things like the european arrest warrants that we might still want to be part of. labour says it's open to discussions. the lib dems, though, remember, promise whatever the brexit deal, they'd give you another say. the british people have the right to either accept that deal, and in that case we leave the european union on the 1st of april 2019 or to reject it and remain. i will be very clear as i have been over the last 12 months, i cannot see us any chance of us getting a better

deal than the one we have now. there'd be no second vote under labour butjeremy corbyn says he wouldn't walk away until there was an eu deal. the tories insist, though, no deal is better than a bad one and she might walk out. yet theresa may is a long way from closing the deal with you. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. so talk today from the parties on their brexit plans, but how much detail did we actually get? so here's our reality check correspondent chris morris. thanks, huw. it is striking that there has been so little debate during this election campaign, even today, about exactly how the brexit negotiations will be conducted. both the conservatives and labour are saying, in effect, "trust us to get it right." but neither party has really discussed the difficult compromises with the eu that will be needed if they are to succeed. that's partly because as soon as

you dig down a bit into brexit, it gets incredibly complicated, it doesn't fit into neat election slogans. let's just take a couple of examples. the european court ofjustice — the union's top court. the conservatives say it will no longer play a role in british life after brexit. but the eu insists that the ecj must continue to protect the rights of eu citizens here in the future. that's got to be negotiated. and what about the huge issue of immigration? labour says it accepts that free movement of people will come to an end. but it also says it wants to maintain tariff—free access to the single market. the eu says you can't really have both at the same time, so that's got to be negotiated too. both the tories and labour say that under their leadership, the uk will be more prosperous after brexit. maybe it will be, but the government's independent forecaster, the office for budget responsibility, says that, for a few years at least, growth is likely to be lower and inflation is

likely to be higher. there's nothing wrong with being optimistic. but critics ask if we've had an honest debate about whether "taking back control" might come with a cost. what it means is that a week before an election that was called specifically because of brexit, at a time when the eu is setting out its plans in detail, we know remarkably little about how the uk will approach the most complex and most important negotiations this country has faced in decades. chris, thanks very much, chris morris, with our reality check. there has been a new development on immigration this evening, we can go to westminster and talk to laura kuenssberg, what have you learned? many of our viewers will remember that he may decided to stick with her ambition of reducing net migration, the difference between the number of people who move away and the number of people who settle

here permanently, to under 100,000 when she published her manifesto. it was controversial, because the target has been missed by miles by the tories since 2010. but she has resolutely refused to give a timetable, to give herself a deadline. when asked by reporters this afternoon whether that might been by the end of the parliament, by 2022, she said that is what we are working for, although it won't be easy. now, that significant, because it is the first time she has gone anywhere near setting out a timetable, but also slightly awkward, because the brexit secretary, david davis, has told question time, we cannot promise it within five years. tonight, tory sources are playing this down, saying they have always been clear there isn't a strict deadline, that is not what theresa may was saying, they have told me there is no disagreement, and that the tories in their view the only party in this election committed to getting immigration down significantly. but it matters because this is a huge

issue for millions of voters around the country, and also because right now it feels like tories are having a choppy campaign, and on any issue, let alone one of their central promises, they can't afford to have confusion. laura, again, thanks very much for the update, laura kuenssberg with the latest on the campaign from westminster. the mother of the youngest victim who was killed in the manchester arena bombing has been taken off a life—support machine and now knows about her daughter's death. eight—year—old saffie roussos, from leyland in lancashire, was with her mother and sister at the concert when she was killed as they left the building. flowers and balloons have been placed outside the family's fish—and—chip shop. mrs roussos and saffie's sister, ashley, are now said to be recovering and out of danger. security forces in the philippines say they are now in full control of one of the country's biggest hotel resorts after reports of gunfire and explosions.

ican hear i can hear gunshots, oh my god! people fleeing the resorts world complex in the capital, manila, said a masked gunman had opened fire in a casino. police say nobody has been shot, there are no hostages, and the motive may have been robbery rather than terrorism. recently, president duterte declared martial law in part of the country where the army is fighting militants linked to the islamic state group. pakistan has rejected allegations by the government of afghanistan that it was involved in a massive attack in kabul yesterday. 90 people died, and at least 400 were injured, in the bombing in the capital, which happened during rush hour. the attack, which was launched from a lorry packed with explosives near zanbaq square, created a massive crater in the ground. it also blew out windows across the heavily fortified green zone which houses several foreign embassies. our correspondent secunder kermani sent this report from kabul. this man hasjust identified his brother's remains at the morgue.

the victim worked as a security guard in front of the german embassy. translation: there were dozens of bodies in the morgue, and they were all burned beyond recognition. we've onlyjust found him after searching for him for two days. the blast left a huge plume of smoke hanging over the city. authorities believe a suicide bomber detonated 1500 kg of explosives hidden in a sewage tanker. attacks are common in kabul, but this is one of the largest ever. abdul rashid worked in an office directly opposite the site of the blast. our office was three floors. all three floors are goes down. all the people were injured. today, construction workers were filling in the huge crater left behind by the blast. this area really is the heart of kabul. the wall you can see marks the boundary of what's known as the fortified green zone,

in which most of the international charities and the foreign embassies, like the partially destroyed german embassy over there, are based, and there are questions about how an attacker could reach into such a sensitive part of the city. security in afghanistan has been steadily deteriorating. last year saw the highest ever recorded number of civilian casualties. no—one's claimed responsibility for this attack. the afghan authorities have blamed pakistani sponsored militants. pakistan denies this. for those waiting outside this emergency hospital to see injured relatives, the focus of their anger was their own government. the government's completely asleep, they were just sleeping, nothing else. their own daughters and sons, they were in foreign countries, and only the poor people they are destroying here and they are killing, no—one else. the united states is due to decide shortly on whether to send an extra 3500 troops into afghanistan,

but almost everyone here expects more violence in the coming weeks and months. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. the ulster unionist party has published its election manifesto, which includes a promise to reform the nhs in northern ireland, merging the five health—care trusts to create a single body. the party leader robin swann, also rejected the idea of northern ireland being given special status during the brexit negotiations. he described it as "an attempt to create a united ireland by the back door." there can be no border up the middle of the irish sea. there can be no passport checks for citizens of northern ireland arriving on cairnryan or heathrow. all our energies should be focused instead on the brexit negotiations and getting the best deal for our people. during the election campaign, bbc news is looking in more detail

at aspects of policy, and this week we're focusing on working lives — how fulfilling arejobs, how are those jobs changing, how well do they pay, and what are people's ambitions? our economics editor, kamal ahmed, has been looking at the controversy surrounding zero—hours contracts and the prospect of enhancing workers' rights. it was the everyday insult for poorly paid, dead—end employment — the mcjob, it became part of our vocabulary. it even makes an appearance in the oxford english dictionary. for those who work in mcdonald's, it's an outdated view rich with the whiff of snobbery. liz stephenson has been with mcdonald's her whole career, starting in the kitchens when she was at school, though she has never flipped a burger. i remember my brother saying to me, you know, "why are you still working in mcdonald's?" and i think there's always been that stigma. almost like an insult, wasn't it? almost, and i think even to the point where people weren't proud to say that they worked at mcdonald's. two patties. yeah.

it takes less than two minutes to make a big mac — unless you're not absolutely sure what you are doing. it's complicated. this is a company built on flexibility — zero—hours contracts are common. the chief executive talks about a new world of work where there is no contradiction between nontraditional employment and traditional values. people want flexibility. in some ways, they have been demonised, but it was time we moved forward and made sure that we offered the contracts that our people wanted in mcdonald's. after controversies over zero—hours abuses at other firms, mcdonald's offered offered its staff the chance to change onto fixed hours. only 20% have done so. this is a company that has certainly been on a journey. thanks very much. from mcjob to a chief executive who says he wants to see that term removed from the oxford english dictionary. two big trends in the new world of work — the huge growth in the number of zero—hours contracts and the huge growth in the number of self—employed, both raising big challenges for the government and for business.

whoever wins the next general election will have to contend with the new world of work. in 2007, there were 143,000 people on zero—hours contracts, which do not guarantee any hours of work. by 2016, that figure had risen to 905,000. in the same period, the number of people who are self—employed rose by 25% to 4.8 million. the changing world of work may be positive for some, but there are still serious questions. flexibility can be great if it's a genuine choice and it's genuinely a two—way street between the boss and the worker. the problem is when all the power is in the hands of the boss, and we've seen too many bad bosses getting away with treating workers badly, having them at their beck and call. it's not so much flexibility, it's more a very old form of casualisation and exploitation. whoever cashes in onjune 8th, one of the first reports

on number ten's desk will be on the new world of work. the government commissions study is likely to call for an overhaul of zero—hours contracts and the status of the self—employed in the gig economy. the new prime minister will be expected to respond, making the rules fit for people who have moved on from mcjobs. kamal ahmed, bbc news. the actor roy barraclough, who's best known for playing the landlord alec gilroy in coronation street, has died at the age of 81. he was also known for his double act with les dawson, playing lancashire housewives cissie and ada. his death comes following a short illness. a surgeon who operated on many of the young victims of the manchester bombing last week has said the injuries he saw were like those sustained in war zones. dr ibrar majid, who works at royal manchester children's hospital,
