dan roan, bbc news, paris. after crashing on the previous stage of the giro d'italia, geraint thomas made a remarkable comeback to finish second in today's 39km time trial. the welshman‘s chances of winning the race were effectively ruined by the crash, but he rode strongly on the lumpy terrain to move up to 11th in the overall standings. 0lympic silver medallist tom dumoulin won the stage and took huge time chunks out of his rivals too. he was 49 seconds quicker. he now leads the race by over two minutes. and in the us at the top of the screen there, the latvian rider tom skuijins had a nasty crash at the tour of california. he came off during the second dtage on a fast descent, the cannondale rider hit the ground hard, and tried to remount his bike but was clearly suffering from concussion. whilst he did attempt to rejoin the peleton, his team pulled him out of the race. he had also fractured his collarbone. he is in hospital recovering. he has posted some pictures on twitter giving the thumbs up saying he

the paris climate accord. as you know you are aware, there have been reporting today all day long that president trump is close to making a decision. and that he is leaning toward the united states pulling out of the accord. if that happened, what will the repercussions be? >> first of all, as we speak, we don't know what the decision will be. it's no secret we have been a staunch advocate of the paris agreement. we think it's a landmark achievement. it's almost universal agreement containing the global warming, fighting climate change. and we think it's so important that the u.s. stays on board in a leadership role. thanks to the u.s., this agreement was possible in the first place. now if the u.s. would leave, you know, it would be a kind of self-isolation and the u.s. would find itself in odd company just with syria and nicaragua, the only countries that are not part of the paris agreement. and we don't think that's a good option. >> woodruff: let me read you something that we just learned. this is the euro

first our top story live from paris. >> we'll start here in paris where france's new president, emanuel macron is set to name his new prime minister. it is a crucial choice for macron who ran as an independent is keen to join a very political left and right. he has to build his cabinet of key ministers ahead of the parliamentary elections next month. france 24's french parliament editor is on the set to talk more about this. mark, it's really a crucial choice for emanuel macron. mark: it's an unusual situation, whereby you have a president who only launched a political movement a year ago and just transformed into a litical party and upcoming parliamentary collections. he has to a point a prime minister to conduct his government, so the prime minister is going to be appointed today any time. the government will follow probably tomorrow but then he has to go to war, if you will, to win the parliamentary elections. if he doesn't get a majority, which is quite possible, given the fact he doesn't have an established party apparatus behind him, he could find himself in the position to appoin

rex tillerson is in favor of staying with the paris climate accord. he met with scott pruitt of the epa. scott pruitt is in favor of pulling out. and look, let's be clear. president obama circumvented congress on this as we did with so many other things. that puts this climate deal in the president's hands. if the president had gone through congress, then president trump would have to go through congress. if president obama had gone through congress. keep in mind also that president clinton signed on to the 1998 kyoto accord and a sense of the senate vote back then in '98 had zero votes in favor of the kyoto accord which has been roundly ignored by china and india. >> jenna: that was one of senator's issues with the paris climate agreement. he didn't like that president obama did go around congress and didn't like that way, managing this particular issue. i was reading an article in "the wall street journal" today, an op ed piece. this is written by the top national security adviser to the president. i'm curious about this particular point. this sort

la pen won less than 5% of the vote in paris. we'll see the final numbers, but i assume it's going to be very low again. this is where we are seeing our politics divide certainly here in the u.s. this was the fault line in this election. it is increasingly, that is becoming the more traditional dividing line of class, kind of the fault line that is reshaping politics in country after country. >> of course, french elections very meaningful to the u.s. david acelrod former campaign manager of obama -- will trump reach out? how would you answer that question, ron? >> he has to. president trump was very cautious in his language for most of the campaign, though he did at some point clearly put a thumb on the scale for la pen when he said that she was strongest on immigration, strongest on the things that have been happening in france and certainly steve bannon has spoken before. >> and then more recently he went more neutral by describing it as interest. >> he basically made clear, you know, that he was closer to la pen as in fact he

if we stay in the paris accords. but there are other economists who say, you know, you are talking about old industry jobs at a time we should be talking about building new industries. >> christine romans thanks so much. want to talk more about this now. joining us arol lewis, matt lewis and evo. guys, there are implications here, as well as implications for planet earth around hopefully we'll get to each and every aspect of it. first to you, president trump returns from a nieb-day overseas trip with nations who are going to look at this decision with great scorn, i think. >> yeah. i think this is a double whammy in some ways. first he goes to nato headquarters and refuses to commit the united states to the fundamental tenant of collective defense, article five of the nato treaty. then he pulls out of the paris agreement. this is a major national agreement. only venezuela and syria haven't signed it yet. and for the united states to walk away from this when the rest of the world is committed, in part because of ameri

it specifically notes the entry into the paris agreement. but looking specifically to the language relating to climate change, it states, and i will quote here, that the arctic is warming at more than twice the rate of the global average. note with concern that the pace and scale of continuing arctic warming will depend on future emissions of greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants, reiterate the importance of global action to reduce both greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants to mitigate climate change, and then calling for the arctic to undertake additional analysis. and so i think that is significant. i think that that is -- that is an important recognition. and while this administration has not yet determined where -- where they may end up when it comes to the paris agreement, i think it is telling to look to this document again that was not only signed by the united states but ultimately drafted by the united states as -- as an indicator of the realities that we face with climate change and particularly and most

in the paris accord. what would it the come a things like fossil fuel emissions and it is quite difficult to work out the science behind it though we wrote the story on it yesterday and today. enough to prevent catastrophic climate change. we are heading to three degrees warming by the end of the century. with the u.s. pulling out of paris, it does not sound like much but that could lead to rising sea levels, warming temperatures, and extinction of species which could be devastating to the planet. mark: other countries and limiting fossil -- limiting fossil feels? >> what we have seen in the last is galvanized by what trump has said about paris and they said we're sticking together and we saw the eu, china, and canada saying they will form impact on climate change, more committed than ever .o tackling climate change they seem to want to increase the pledges as much as before but how long can that last? maybe four years of trump? go buttrations come and eight years, people could really start to doubt wheth
