Critics argue this proposal 00:06:12.259 --> 00:06:15.800 disregards scientific consensus and could lead 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.800 to a rise in high -polluting vehicles.

The sequel will continue the 00:09:39.529 --> 00:09:42.850 story of Julianne and Michael, originally played 00:09:42.850 --> 00:09:46.049 by Julia Roberts and Dermot Mulroney, who made 00:09:46.049 --> 00:09:50.429 a pact to marry if still single at 28.

And today, 00:10:10.929 --> 00:10:13.809 our quote comes from the French writer and philosopher, 00:10:14.169 --> 00:10:19.429 Albert Camus. And he said, A happy person is 00:10:19.429 --> 00:10:21.870 not a person in a certain set of circumstances, 00:10:22.190 --> 00:10:25.129 but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.519 And that's a wrap for this morning.
