The United Kingdom will be permanently poorer -

:00:00.:00:00.

says the Chancellor - if voters decide to leave the EU.

:00:07.:00:10.

George Osborne says wages would be lower, prices higher

:00:11.:00:12.

There is a price to be paid if we leave.

:00:13.:00:21.

A ?4300 price that families will pay year after year.

:00:22.:00:27.

But tonight, Leave campaigners have dismissed the Treasury's analysis

:00:28.:00:32.

We are a huge market for German cars, dairy products and even French

champagne and I hope we are going to be drinking a lot more than that --

:00:43.:00:46.

of that after the 23rd We'll be analyzing the Treasury's

:00:47.:00:50.

facts and figures and asking Also tonight - still searching

for survivors after Ecuador's worst earthquake in decades -

Leicester City. That's the equivalent - it claims -

:01:23.:01:50.

of ?4,300 a year, per household. And the Treasury says you'd need

:01:51.:02:15.

to increase the basic rate of income tax by 8p to cover the shortfall

:02:16.:02:18.

in public finances. calling it "deeply flawed",

:02:19.:02:24.

"absurd" and "useless". Here's our political

:02:25.:02:26.

editor Laura Kuenssberg. This product is exported all over

:02:27.:02:41.

Europe. Their work, the country's wealth, maybe his job too, are they

:02:42.:02:45.

all on the line if we vote to leave the European Union?

:02:46.:02:48.

all on the line if we vote to leave brought three Cabinet colleagues

:02:49.:02:52.

along to make a big claim this morning. We would be worse off

:02:53.:02:58.

along to make a big claim this ever if we choose to leave. Britain

:02:59.:02:59.

would be permanently ever if we choose to leave. Britain

:03:00.:03:04.

left the European Union. Under any alternative we would trade less, do

:03:05.:03:08.

less business, there would be less investment. And the price would be

:03:09.:03:12.

paid by British families, wages would be lower, prices would be

:03:13.:03:15.

higher, and that means that Britain would be poorer by ?4300 per

:03:16.:03:22.

household. That is ?4300 worse off every year, a bill paid year after

:03:23.:03:28.

year by the working people of Britain. What he means, if we leave

:03:29.:03:32.

the economy could be 6% smaller than if we stay. That's the same amount

:03:33.:03:37.

of cash as if each household was more than ?4000 poorer. And the loss

:03:38.:03:41.

of trade could mean big spending cuts or tax rises too. But how can

:03:42.:03:47.

he be so sure? In the past Treasury forecasts have

:03:48.:03:50.

proven about as reliable as licking your finger and sticking it in the

:03:51.:03:53.

air to tell you what is going on with the weather. Can you admit at

:03:54.:03:57.

their very best this is an educated guess?

:03:58.:04:01.

Our analysis has been supported by a host of very credible independent

:04:02.:04:05.

organisations. Let's hear from the other side what their plan is, where

:04:06.:04:10.

is their analysis? Where is their assessment of the costs and benefits

:04:11.:04:14.

of leaving the European Union? I don't hear anything from them. Thank

:04:15.:04:19.

you. The political aim is clear, crush the other side's case with

:04:20.:04:23.

heavy economic evidence, whether it is project fear or a reality check.

:04:24.:04:27.

There are many moving parts in these arguments and there will always be

:04:28.:04:30.

quibbling over the numbers, but this is one of the biggest moves from the

:04:31.:04:36.

In Campaign. An Official Warning From The Government Department That

:04:37.:04:39.

If We Vote To Leave We Would Be Worse Off For Ever And Ministers

:04:44.:04:48.

Voters To Choose To Stay. Do The Warnings Change Anyone's Mind? In

:04:49.:04:52.

The Business Canteen Colleagues Richard And Nicky Agreed That Their

:04:53.:04:57.

Families Don't. I Don't Think We Will Be Poorer, I Think We Will

:04:58.:05:03.

Still Survive As A Country. I'm living in a divided household, and

:05:04.:05:06.

I'm with Richard because I very much want written to have its

:05:07.:05:10.

independence again, we were self-sufficient only a few years

:05:11.:05:13.

ago, my husband is a net importer, he works in the music industry and

:05:14.:05:17.

he will vote to stay. Richard Hawkins is sure he wants to leave,

:05:18.:05:22.

Wendy is not so sure. I think we've lost some of our sort of identity

:05:23.:05:26.

and I'd like to get that back. The Chancellor is making a big statement

:05:27.:05:29.

today about the economic risk but do you believe him? No. But tonight

:05:30.:05:36.

something you thought you might never see or hear, a Conservative

:05:37.:05:41.

Cabinet minister making nice with Nigel Farage. Both dismissing the

:05:42.:05:46.

government's one in zombie economy and both committed to make the

:05:47.:05:49.

referendum a real fight. Saying to them you can't sell your

:05:50.:05:54.

cheese in Britain anymore, it's not going to happen. The German

:05:55.:05:57.

car-makers in Bavaria selling their cars, selling their BW is in

:05:58.:06:01.

Britain, does anybody seriously think the German government is going

:06:02.:06:05.

to say to them, you cannot sell your cars in Britain anymore, it is a

:06:06.:06:09.

nonsense, we are a huge market for German cars, French dairy products

:06:10.:06:13.

and even French champagne and I hope we will drink a lot more of that

:06:14.:06:17.

after the 23rd of June as we celebrate. Unusual times turn rivals

:06:18.:06:22.

into friends. The oddments turning ?2 and pence. With both camps trying

:06:23.:06:26.

to convince you that they have right on their side.

:06:27.:06:30.

So do the claims laid out in the Treasury document stand up?

:06:31.:06:34.

Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed has been examining the

:06:35.:06:36.

ARCHIVE FOOTAGE: It's a flying car. It has a 50 horsepower motor.

:06:37.:06:44.

Predicting the future is not always easy.

:06:45.:06:47.

Floating cars didn't quite make it, but today the Treasury made a more

:06:48.:06:51.

serious analysis about what it saw as the economic costs of leaving

:06:52.:06:53.

Billions of pounds in extra taxes and in a small economy.

:06:54.:07:01.

The Treasury said its analysis was cautious.

:07:02.:07:05.

Estimating what is going to happen in the future is very difficult

:07:06.:07:07.

but the way think of this and all of these estimates is that

:07:08.:07:10.

whatever happens in the future, whether things are better or worse,

:07:11.:07:13.

if we leave the EU we will be poorer than we otherwise would have been.

:07:14.:07:17.

The big claim, that leaving the EU will cost every family ?4300.

:07:18.:07:21.

Dividing the national economic impact of billions of pounds worth

:07:22.:07:29.

of losses the Treasury claims by the UK's 26.7 billion households.

:07:30.:07:32.

It does not mean any families actually paying out a cheque

:07:33.:07:35.

The Treasury document looks at three scenarios if the UK leaves the EU.

:07:36.:07:41.

The first, Britain makes a Norway-style deal,

:07:42.:07:46.

gaining access to the single market and paying a contribution

:07:47.:07:48.

The Treasury says this would be the least bad option,

:07:49.:07:52.

The second scenario, the Canada option, is a free-trade deal

:07:53.:08:02.

That could lead to an economy 6.2% smaller according to the Treasury.

:08:03.:08:11.

The final option is a deal under the World Trade Organisation's

:08:12.:08:14.

free-trade rules, similar to Brazil or Russia.

:08:15.:08:15.

That could lead to an economy 7.5% smaller.

:08:16.:08:17.

The question is, why would the economy suffer?

:08:18.:08:22.

The report says leaving would increase trade barriers making

:08:23.:08:27.

the UK's products harder to sell in the EU, our largest market.

:08:28.:08:30.

It also claims it would lead to low investment as businesses relocate

:08:31.:08:33.

to the rest of the EU to take advantage of the single market.

:08:34.:08:37.

And a small economy means lower tax income for the Government.

:08:38.:08:40.

Reports suggest ?36 billion a year less tax.

:08:41.:08:53.

And to fill that financial hole the Government says it could mean

:08:54.:08:56.

This long-term forecast is just that, a forecast.

:08:57.:08:59.

And by 2030 a lot of things might change for the better,

:09:00.:09:02.

A lower value of the pound could boost exports and the EU

:09:03.:09:12.

could want a good trade deal with the UK, the world's

:09:13.:09:15.

And, in any case, the EU already has its own trade barriers.

:09:16.:09:20.

The main problem for us being in the EU is it stops us being

:09:21.:09:24.

We have to have the EU's tariff wall, tax wall,

:09:25.:09:30.

against producers in the rest of the world, which raises the cost

:09:31.:09:33.

The report is full of equations about how the economy

:09:34.:09:49.

would be affected if the UK left the EU.

:09:50.:09:51.

They only need one of those equations to be wrong for a very

:09:52.:09:55.

The interests of farmers are best served by remaining in the EU -

:09:56.:10:00.

that's the conclusion from the National Farmers Union

:10:01.:10:02.

Farmers have, historically, received huge benefits from Brussels -

:10:03.:10:05.

but not all are keen on staying in the EU.

:10:06.:10:07.

Our environment correspondent Claire Marshall reports.

:10:08.:10:09.

The animals reared, the crops planted and the subsidy cheques paid

:10:10.:10:14.

to farmers are all influenced by rules that have their

:10:15.:10:16.

But should this European landscape stay the same?

:10:17.:10:26.

Hours of heated debate today among Council members

:10:27.:10:28.

An overwhelming majority are in favour of staying in the EU.

:10:29.:10:39.

We can have market access, labour availability

:10:40.:10:43.

and we want to operate on a level playing field

:10:44.:10:48.

Because that evidence highlights that at the moment it's better

:10:49.:10:51.

Here in Northern Ireland, reliance on EU farm subsidies

:10:52.:10:55.

is four times higher than in England.

:10:56.:10:57.

William Taylor is a livestock farmer in Coleraine.

:10:58.:11:02.

He believes that the EU is the only way that farmers will ever be able

:11:03.:11:06.

to get a better price from supermarkets for their produce.

:11:07.:11:08.

At the minute, we have found a way forward in which farmers can get

:11:09.:11:12.

properly rewarded for their work, and that involves legislation

:11:13.:11:15.

So in effect, for us to stay in Europe is the difference

:11:16.:11:24.

between our farm being able to survive and not being

:11:25.:11:30.

The Ulster Farmers Union says it will not take a position.

:11:31.:11:33.

NFU Scotland has declared in favour of Remain.

:11:34.:11:38.

And today NFU Wales confirmed its pro European stance.

:11:39.:11:40.

So let's have a look at some of the figures about this.

:11:41.:11:43.

Some 40% of the EU's budget goes on supporting farmers.

:11:44.:11:48.

In many cases, this can make up half of a farm's income.

:11:49.:11:53.

If we look at exports from the food and agricultural processing

:11:54.:11:58.

Farming and agriculture are a core part of the European project.

:11:59.:12:03.

Farmers who back leaving the EU say they're being overwhelmed

:12:04.:12:05.

They expect the Government to support them in place of subsidies.

:12:06.:12:09.

Colin Rayner farms 2,500 acres beneath the Heathrow flight path.

:12:10.:12:17.

Each year, we lose a bit more of our sovereignty.

:12:18.:12:19.

We don't seem to have any control over what is happening on our farms.

:12:20.:12:22.

I want people managing my farms to be in London, not in Brussels.

:12:23.:12:26.

The NFU Council has given its opinion.

:12:27.:12:29.

It's now up to farmers to decide where their future will flourish.

:12:30.:12:32.

Claire Marshall, BBC News, in Warwickshire.

:12:33.:12:38.

Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, is at Westminster.

:12:39.:12:41.

Will those campaigning to stay in the EU feel

:12:42.:12:43.

I think they are feeling pretty punchy tonight, one Government

:12:44.:12:55.

source told me they believe they have their outers on the ropes.

:12:56.:13:00.

Government official machine has unleashed is full forces today

:13:01.:13:03.

making serious warnings about what might happen to the economy if we

:13:04.:13:07.

vote to leave will stop that is not as because they believe, they've got

:13:08.:13:11.

the economic arguments on their side, it's also because that's the

:13:12.:13:15.

absolute core of the argument that they are trying to make in this

:13:16.:13:19.

campaign. That's their strategy, to plant a seed of doubt in the minds

:13:20.:13:22.

of undecided voters and make them focus on the risks of the risks to

:13:23.:13:28.

their wallet, if we vote as a country to leave. Now, within the

:13:29.:13:32.

campaign there are some Conservative ministers and the First Minister of

:13:33.:13:35.

Scotland Nicola Sturgeon expressing privately and publicly on her side a

:13:36.:13:42.

bit of unease about all this negativity, suggestions this isn't

:13:43.:13:45.

the kind of positive argument they would like to see but perhaps what

:13:46.:13:51.

matters right now is not necessarily whether it's too negative, but

:13:52.:13:55.

whether it will be effective. And remember, in the Scottish referendum

:13:56.:13:58.

those who were making the arguments about economic warnings would decide

:13:59.:14:04.

who ultimately won. Of course, it is early in this campaign, those who

:14:05.:14:07.

want us to leave will argue passionately and repeatedly that we

:14:08.:14:11.

could be more prosperous if we leave. But right now, as each day it

:14:12.:14:16.

seems the Government adds more and more establishment voices to their

:14:17.:14:20.

side, the Outers are starting to look like rebels with a cause,

:14:21.:14:24.

without many heavyweight friends. Laura Kuenssberg, thank you.

:14:25.:14:27.

And the BBC's Reality Check team has been going through the claims

:14:28.:14:30.

in today's document in more detail on our Reality Check pages.

:14:31.:14:33.

The death toll from Saturday's earthquake in Ecuador has risen

:14:34.:14:44.

to 350 with more than 2,000 people injured.

:14:45.:14:47.

The President, Rafael Correa, has visited some of the worst

:14:48.:14:50.

affected areas in the north of the country, and described it

:14:51.:14:52.

Our correspondent, Katy Watson, has travelled to the disaster zone

:14:53.:14:56.

Nearly two days after the earthquake hit, it is a race against time to

:14:57.:15:08.

A rescue worker calls out, if anyone hears me,

:15:09.:15:15.

The town of Pedernales was one of the hardest hit.

:15:16.:15:30.

Many buildings here have been completely flattened, a town reduced

:15:31.:15:32.

TRANSLATION: Actually, it has been horrible, horrible.

:15:33.:15:39.

The only thing I can say is we are alive, we are alive.

:15:40.:15:43.

We are asking passers-by to give us water, so at least we can survive.

:15:44.:15:51.

TRANSLATION: I was about to eat with my kids.

:15:52.:15:53.

We hid under a table and it

:15:54.:15:55.

stopped the rubble from falling on us.

:15:56.:15:58.

I do not know how we did manage to get out.

:15:59.:16:00.

Among the dead, Sister Claire Teresa Crockett,

:16:01.:16:07.

She was killed with five others when a stairwell collapsed in

:16:08.:16:11.

The hope is that some people are still

:16:12.:16:17.

alive under collapsed buildings but the death toll

:16:18.:16:18.

The president said it was the biggest

:16:19.:16:31.

The president said it was the biggest tragedy to hit Ecuador

:16:32.:16:33.

Rescue workers have flown in from Latin

:16:34.:16:36.

America as well as Switzerland and Spain to help.

:16:37.:16:38.

Nearby communities are also doing their bit, here they

:16:39.:16:41.

are sending bananas and water to communities down the road.

:16:42.:16:43.

But help hasn't got to everyone who needs it.

:16:44.:16:45.

The extent of the damage is still unclear and some committees are

:16:46.:16:48.

A bomb blast on a bus in Jerusalem has injured at least 16 people.

:16:49.:16:56.

The explosion took place on board an empty vehicle but wounded people

:16:57.:16:59.

more than a decade ago - but they've been rare since then.

:17:00.:17:06.

Two children have appeared in court charged with the murder

:17:07.:17:08.

of a woman and her 13-year-old daughter in Lincolnshire.

:17:09.:17:11.

The boy and girl - who are both 14 - are accused of killing

:17:12.:17:14.

Elizabeth and Katie Edwards at their home in Spalding.

:17:15.:17:17.

What were the events which led to the deaths of this

:17:18.:17:23.

Two children are accused of murdering 49-year-old Liz Edwards

:17:24.:17:27.

Police want to hear from anyone who observed any comings and goings

:17:28.:17:35.

from their home in Spalding between Wednesday lunchtime

:17:36.:17:37.

and Friday afternoon, when the bodies were discovered.

:17:38.:17:40.

The school is absolutely devastated, and the total neighbourhood.

:17:41.:17:49.

I think everybody is just gobsmacked, just speechless, really.

:17:50.:18:01.

People here have been left shocked that two teenagers have

:18:02.:18:03.

been charged with murder after what happened here.

:18:04.:18:06.

The two 14-year-olds appeared here at Lincoln Crown

:18:07.:18:09.

The boy and girl were flanked by security guards and spoke only

:18:10.:18:13.

They were remanded into secure youth accommodation,

:18:14.:18:18.

and a provisional trial date was set for October.

:18:19.:18:22.

The two teenagers were transported in separate cars with

:18:23.:18:25.

Because of their age, they cannot be publicly identified.

:18:26.:18:32.

Outside the scene of the killings, people have continued to leave

:18:33.:18:35.

messages and tributes to a popular mother and daughter.

Danny Savage, BBC News, Lincolnshire.

:18:41.:18:44.

The Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has made a surprise visit to Libya

:18:45.:18:47.

where he announced ?10 million of support for the new

:18:48.:18:49.

The Government of National Accord is operating from a heavily guarded

:18:50.:18:55.

But there's already one government in Tripoli and another rival

:18:56.:18:59.

administration in the city of Tobruk, in the east.

:19:00.:19:03.

And there are fears so called Islamic State could benefit

:19:04.:19:06.

from the instability and gain ground after establishing a foothold

:19:07.:19:08.

in Colonel Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte.

:19:09.:19:13.

Our Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen, reports from Tripoli.

:19:14.:19:18.

The Foreign Secretary had to come to the heavily-guarded Tripoli Naval

:19:19.:19:20.

So far, after almost three weeks in the

:19:21.:19:25.

capital, the base is all it controls.

:19:26.:19:29.

It is early days for the Government and for the band.

:19:30.:19:42.

showed Mr Hammond the new patrol boat that brought the

:19:43.:19:52.

One of Libya's militias, who had been the real power

:19:53.:19:56.

here in the last five violent years have blocked their aircraft.

:19:57.:19:58.

Across the dock was a Libyan frigate, sunk by the RAF in

:19:59.:20:01.

2011, as Nato helped to destroy the Gaddafi dictatorship.

:20:02.:20:04.

President Obama has said his biggest foreign policy disappointment

:20:05.:20:06.

is the failure by the US and Britain and France to

:20:07.:20:09.

stabilise Libya after dropping so many bombs.

:20:10.:20:15.

We can always look back with the benefit of hindsight and

:20:16.:20:17.

say we could have done this differently, we could have done

:20:18.:20:20.

If you look at conflicts like this, which have

:20:21.:20:23.

happened historically around the world, there is always

:20:24.:20:26.

a period of confusion after a change of regime.

:20:27.:20:31.

There is always a period of instability.

:20:32.:20:33.

Gradually, from that period, a new order emerges.

:20:34.:20:38.

The Libyan Prime Minister talked up his government.

:20:39.:20:40.

Many people thought we would not be able to come back, he said.

:20:41.:20:44.

This is why the West is suddenly interested in Libya again.

:20:45.:20:51.

The jihadists of IS have moved into the

And there is the pressure coming from the desperate of Africa.

These migrants were captured by a militia.

One estimate is 300,000 others could arrive in

hundreds more migrants leaving here have drowned.

Britain's Foreign Secretary said building security was how Libya

But he said Britain was not offering combat troops and

Prime Minister Saraj does not have an army.

The plan they have his full of potential weaknesses,

:21:29.:21:32.

particularly because it depends on the consent of

But it is the only plan they have on the

:21:36.:21:40.

table, here in Libya, and outside as well.

:21:41.:21:45.

If it does not work, that means more chaos,

:21:46.:21:47.

more danger in Libya but also just across the Mediterranean

:21:48.:21:51.

Britain hopes Libyans are exhausted enough to talk, not fight.

The Court of Appeal says an injunction which banned the media

:22:05.:22:13.

from reporting details of a celebrity's private

:22:14.:22:16.

The Sun on Sunday had challenged the order after the information was

:22:17.:22:22.

Our media correspondent, David Sillito, here.

:22:23.:22:27.

But we still can't report the details?

:22:28.:22:33.

At least in some parts of the UK. The Court of Appeal says the

:22:34.:22:40.

injunction should be lifted but not yet because it should go to the

:22:41.:22:45.

Supreme Court. For the next 48 hours it should remain in force. Why

:22:46.:22:50.

should anyone care? It was said in court this was essentially a battle

:22:51.:22:53.

between the rule of law and the rule of the press. What has happened in

:22:54.:22:58.

the last two weeks, news has seeped out in those places where the

:22:59.:23:03.

injunction is in force. The judges said today that essentially the

:23:04.:23:10.

legal landscape had shifted. If, at the end of the day, this injunction

:23:11.:23:13.

is lifted, we have effectively now a new recipe to undermine any similar

:23:14.:23:18.

judgment. Many believe this would be the end of the celebrity injunction

The worlds of comedy and entertainment have been

As Brazil prepares to host this summer's Olympic Games,

the country has descended into political turmoil.

MPs have voted to begin a move to impeach President Rousseff.

:24:01.:24:13.

It raises the possibility that the leftist leader could be

Our correspondent, Wyre Davies, is in Brasilia for us

And Dilma Rousseff has been giving her reaction

Yes, after losing that dramatic vote on impeachment, she has announced

this as an assault on the truth, democracy and the rule of law was

that this is a critical year for Brazil, a country welcoming the

A routine changing of the guard in Brasilia.

Not yet a metaphor for a change of government

Many congressmen, including the powerful Speaker, Eduardo Cunha,

:25:36.:25:38.

For some protesters, ousting the president is just the start.

:25:39.:25:46.

First, we want Cunha out of the Government

:25:47.:25:49.

and then a lot of leaders who are involved in corruption.

:25:50.:25:59.

In this modernist capital, institutions of power -

:26:00.:26:02.

Congress and the presidency - are locked in a bitter battle.

:26:03.:26:19.

Tonight, the president vowed to fight on, insisting she had done

:26:20.:26:23.

nothing illegal. The President's failure to recognise

:26:24.:26:25.

the scale of Brazil's crisis was a big mistake,

says one former aide. I think the main problem was not
