Pledge to fully implement the paris deal, saying it is the responsibility of nations to tackle Climate Change. Here is a look at the international reaction. To say they are angry, the french have an expression, being green with outrage. It is with that color, also the symbolizing efforts to fight claimant change that paris protested against the u. S. Decision to drop out of the deal negotiate here in the french capital. For the french president emmanuel macron, donald trump made a mistake, and he chose to say so in english. Friends, we will not give up the france will not give up the fight. I reaffirm that the Paris Agreement remains irreversible. We all share the same responsibility. Make our planet great again. France and its European Partners are clear there will be no renegotiation of the climate deal. They are determined to make even greater efforts to save the planet. This decision cannot and will not stop those of us who feel obligated to protect our earth. On the contrary, we in germany, in europe and the world will band together to take more Decisive Action than ever to confront and successfully surmount major challenges to humanity such as Climate Change. The United Nations set that by quitting accord, the u. S. Would be losing out. It is not only the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do. And those who are honoring the agreement are the ones that will have a leading role in the economy of the 21st century. Many vowed to press ahead with their effort to curb global warning. China has called the u. S. Withdrawl a reckless set back. For more we speck to Professor John sturmon from the Massachusetts Institute of technology. Just so we are clear, you are not part of the small minority of scientists that believe Climate Change is a hoax . Certainly not. 97 of science suggests it is changing, caused by human activity and poses great risk to our health, our prosperity and lives. While doing my homework, i read and article in the New York Times in which you seem to have predicted this was going to happen, that donald trump was going to make this decision. That article is dated november of last year. You also said if the u. S. Dont live up to its responsibilities, that other countries wont either. Do you think that is now likely . Well, so far, and fortunately, all the other major meeting nations in the e. U. , china and many others, have stated forcefully as you just reported that they intent to fully comply with their paris commitments, and we very much hope they will. However, there is a risk that this reckless action by the nited states will lead to an unraveling of the agreement. Donald trump will not put anymore money into the fund. Other countries are going to pressure to cut back. If the u. S. Wont contribute, why should we . The developing world may say we no longer have the funding we need to leapfrog the damaging fossil economy to green Renewable Economy in the same way they jumped land lines to mobile there was. There is a risk here of unraveling, and it is particularly important for folks in france and europe. We know there are nationalist and populist pressures that have become very powerful, and they are likely to argue that the e. U. And other countries should not invest in the developing world but keep that money at home. So even if the current leaders pledge to stay the course, which we very much hope that they will, we could be looking at increased strength among the populist factions in a year or two or three down the road, you could have different leadership that might pull back on the Paris Agreement in the same way that we just experienced in the United States. The lesson for folks in europe is to start making the case today that the agreement is not something that hurts your economies, it is not something that helps only the developing world, but it protects the lives, prosperity and health of your citizens. Just another piece that i read you quoted in last year saying that the Paris Agreement doesnt really go far enough anyway towards reaching the necessary goals. Could someone argue that President Trump is right and that we should actually scrap the Paris Agreement and get back to the drawing board . Well, it is perfectly obviously that he has no intention of renegotiating a stronger agreement that would require the deeper and earlier cuts in emissions from all nations that are required to limit warming to no more than two degrees. But you are quite right. Our analysis, which we published in paris and have updated continuously since then shows that the Paris Agreement would get us not quite from half way from doing nothing to the twodegree limit. That is a huge impact, and nobody should say it doesnt matter. But it doesnt get us all way. And Everybody Knows this, and everybody acknowledged it in paris, which is why the paris greement includes a variety of mechanisms designed to increase the agreements for earlier deeper cuts. The maryland century strategy provision and the stock provision that begins in 2018. So it is not news to anybody that the Paris Agreement does not get us all the way to where we need to be, but it is the best agreement we have ever had as a global community. 200 nations signed on, nearly. The on nations that have not signed on, syria and nicaragua. By pulling out of the accord, the United States is putting itself in the company of russia, iran and yemen and these other countries that have not yet ratified. So again, its the best agreement we have ever had. It creates a framework for getting where we really need to go. And by pulling out, what the United States has done is to threaten that agreement. Supposing the agreement still stands for the rest of the world and everyone except the United States goes ahead with meeting the obligations of the paris deal. What would be the scale of damage done by americas nonparticipation in such a scenario . The good news is that dozens and dozens, now nearly 100 mayors, many states in the United States, and dozens and dozens of companies have pledged to continue their efforts to cut their ee miguels at least as much as the paris a agreement calls for. These actions, and especially actions by companies, by the state of california, by cities all over the country, are potentially very important and could cause u. S. Emissions to continue to deadline. But they arent going to get us all way to the United States commitment under the Paris Agreement, with 26 to 28 reductions in emissions relative to 2005. We have made a lot of progress, but getting the rest of the way is going to be extremely dull with local and state action alone. But it is good news. Now on the bad news side, our assessment is that if all the other nations of the world fully comply with their commitments you said paris and all the mid Century Strategies they have announce, but the United States does nothing and goes back to business as usual, that that would increase the erage global temp in 2100 by. 3 degrees. That may not sound like a lot, but it is a big deal. We are already more than half way from preindustrial temperatures to the two degree limit. So there is only one more degree of warming that we can have without going over that twodegree limit. 3 is a big chunk of that. I say,. 3 is not the likely outcome. It is going to be less than that based on what cities and states may do here and baylessed on what happens in our midterm elections and our 2020 president ial elections. But it certainly moves us in the wrong direction, and if other nations cut back their commitments and funding, you uld see a bigger impact than. 3. Shanghai you for sharing that. Professor john sterman, thank you again. You are welcome. Investigators in the philippines are trying to get to the bottom of a deadly attack at a casino in manila, which left 36 killed and 50 injures. The Islamic Group says it was behind the attack, but they dismissed that claim as false propaganda. It was actually a botched robbery. Setting the premises aplays, the begun man killed himself, and it was suffocation that killed most of the people there. Authorities said it was probably a robbie gone wrong and wasnt terror relied. But now a claim of responsibility. The Islamic State group says it carried out an attack on manilas resort casino after a masked man entered the facility armed with our automatic rifle. He approached our Security Point with his firearm forward. He unloaded a number of shots. He was in military attire. The secure guard who was at the door for xray screening tried to take him down. Unfortunately he could not do so. According to eyewitness, the event unfolded rapidly. The begun man shot a television screen, filled his backpack with gambling chips and set the place ablaze before committing suicide. He wasnt shooting anyone. So we went to the fire exit that was here, and the four of us were stuck in the basement for about an hour and a half. My come pan conference broke the glass Win Companies on the side. We let the women go first. We used the curtains and tied them to go down. The attack on the manila casino comes as the fill means is waging a war against islamist militant on an island. Clashes are ongoing in a city 800 kilometers south of the capital. So far, at least 175 team have been killed. 17 people have been killed. Wednesdays deadly bomb attack in the Afghan Capital in which 80 were killed have sparked violent protests. Those taking to the streets in kabul are demanding that the government of the president resign. Riot police used water common he is and tear guys at protestors, who hurled stones back at them. Here is the latest from kabul. The Police Actually were using tear gas as well as water. We saw some riot police, but then we saw some Police Firing live rounds. We saw military police, part of the kabul compare son. I think it is quite embarrassing and shameful that after 17 years, after billions of dollars of investment in the buildup of Afghan National security forces, this is what you witness in kabul. The United Nations, for example, i in kabul have called on the government to protect those protesting, but they have also called on the protestors to abide by the law. We have also heard from amnesty special. And another chief officer, saying that those shootings will be investigated. That is our report from kabul. The venezuelan president is promising to hold a referendum on constitutional reforms. They say it is a desperate attempt by him to hang on to power. More than 70 people are reported to be killed in the unrest. Simon harding has this report. After two months of protests, Nicolas Madura has seemingly reached out to the opposition. At the end of the process for sure, and i will propose it explicitly, openly and exhaustively, the new constitution will go to a referendum, so that it is the people who say whether they are in greenbeckham or not with the new reinforced in agreement or not with the new run forced constitution. The new constitution must first be written by a constituent assembly, which is due to be elected by the end of july. The opposition are boycotting these elections saying this system is rigged. Ne of the few quitics critics in government has filed a motion to block it. They intend to violate the progression of human ritola through a constitutional process where popular participation has been reduced to its minimum expression. Ortega also stated that the current 1999 constitution was put forward by hugo chavez andd approved by referendum. The government maintaining pressure on the opposition and have threat he wanted to arrest the governor. What is left for the people . They must take to the streets and defend their rights. That is what is happening. You take away their food, medicine, economy and the right to vote, what do people do . Do they give in and accept it . No. We need to fight for our constitution and that our rights are respected to gain peace and stability. The opposition are clamoring or new elections, accusing madura being behind the crisis engulfing the nation. After spending half a year at the International Space ation, a capsule carried the Thomas Pesquet and novitskiy are in good shape. One other astronaut is staying for three monday. Safely back down to earth after spending almost 200 days aboard the International Space station. After spending so long in a weightless environment. The astronaut can no longer stand. It will take him days to reaat that time. The portland has changed since Thomas Pesquet was awade. The United States and france have new people in challenge. Emmanuel macron was one of first to welcome him home. We are all very proud of you. That is very kind. Thank you for taking time to call me. How do you feel . Very well, although ive got to get used to being back in gravity. It is even a little difficult to hold up this phone. A few hours earlier, Thomas Pesquet had been in orbit 400 kilometers above the earth. After taking one last family photo with his colleagues, the 39yearold waved goodbye to the iss. He boarded the spacecraft that would take him and novitskiy down to their landing zone in kazakhstan. After detaching, the men faced a three and a half hour decent back to earth. They entered the atmosphere at more than 27,000 kilometers per hour. The outside of the craft heated up to more than two million degrees. He capsules massive parachute deployed and floated them back to gend. He is welcomed when he gets back to france, and will meet many of the people who followed him on his journey. The soyuz is back on earth with novitskiy and Thomas Pesquet. Earlier i spoke to a ecialist in space in the coverage. I asked him how long before pesquet is back on his feet. If you see him tomorrow, you will see he is lble going to be walking. He will have a wide stance, and looking like he had a couple of drinks. That is how he would fastball. The gravity in the inner here is deconditioned from being in space. He will be wobblely, dizzy and uncoordinated, but he will be walking by tomorrow. It will be about six weeks of water based training, moving on to resistance exercises, before we see him get back to normal. One thing to look out for tomorrow, if you see him walking into the astronaut center. Look for his spine. He probably will not stand upright, and will have a forward lean. His balance in general will be quite poor. There is usually about a sixweek training period before he is going to be back to normally. We have several exercises that the astronauts do aboard the space station lyle whiffing in space. They have a treadmill. They have a cycle machine and a resistance exercise machine all working in weightlessness to prevent the prisons. Bones are the main thing we focus on. It is more than balance and spinal problems that they will be focusing on in the next six. The latest on Thomas Pesquet getting back to shape now that he is back on earth. A check of the top business stories. Kate is here with me. Lets start by looking at the u. S. Labor market . The monthly jobs report came out friday and it was minxed. Job creation fell far below expectations. Official physician for march and april were revised downward. 138,000 not farm jobs were added to the economy last month. That is about 50,000 short of expect takes. Wages stagnated at a flat 2. 5 year on year growth rate. That 138,000 falling short of the 174,000 created in april. It antiall bad news. The overall unemployment raid did continue to drop, hitting just 4. 3 . That is the lowest jobless rate since 2001, but many analysts warn there is still significant slack in the labor market with wage growth and large numbers of people under employed. The reserve is expected to race Interest Rates by about a quarter of a percent later this month. Improving the labor mark was one of President Donald Trump stated goals in with drawing from the paris climate agreement. Renewables could create more jobs. 2. 7 million jobs lost by 2025. At was one of Donald Trumps biggest arguments for pulling out of the paris accords. Analysts are saying not so fast. There is nothing to be gained in terms of employment. Trump is talking about putting coal miners back to work, but that is not going to happen. It is too expensive. Environmental activists say the coal industry has been damaged by renewable injury. The figure acknowledges the study does not take into account the potential benefits from emissions. The number of jobs linked to solar energy increased by 25 in 2016 and by an addition 32 in wind. Combined, the wind and Solar Industries employed more than three times that of the coal industry in 2016, but still less than oil. It was about the president sticking to his word. Keeping a promise that they were going to help get the coal jobs back and get people back to work. That is what we need anywhere in this country. Leaving the Paris Agreement was one of trumps most vocal campaign promises. But many say the tide is against the coal industry he vowed save. Did ropean unand china not agree. The union and many of chinas other trading partners have been debating whether to treat beige as a market economy, which would be harder to impose dumping duties.
