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 | :00:33. | :00:42. | |
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 | :00:51. | :00:52. | |

a look back at the reign of Britain's | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
longest-serving monarch. And coming up in Sportsday on BBC | :01:19. | :01:19. | |
News, we'll see if Spurs can close the gap on Premier League leaders | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
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 | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Believe It Is One Of Their Most Powerful Tools To Persuade Undecided | :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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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 | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
vacuum left by the collapse of the Libyan state. | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
And there is the pressure coming from the desperate of Africa. | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
These migrants were captured by a militia. | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
One estimate is 300,000 others could arrive in | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
Europe this year from Libya and reports this week have said | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
hundreds more migrants leaving here have drowned. | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
Britain's Foreign Secretary said building security was how Libya | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
But he said Britain was not offering combat troops and | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Prime Minister Saraj does not have an army. | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
The plan they have his full of potential weaknesses, | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
particularly because it depends on the consent of | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
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. | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
Men with guns, not politicians, are used to | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
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 | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
that a major shift in what can or cannot be kept private. | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
The worlds of comedy and entertainment have been | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
paying their respects to Ronnie Corbett at his | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
The 85-year-old died last month after being diagnosed | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
with a suspected form of motor neurone disease. | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
The service was attended by family and friends near his | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
Sir Michael Parkinson, Jimmy Tarbuck, David Walliams and | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
As Brazil prepares to host this summer's Olympic Games, | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
the country has descended into political turmoil. | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
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 | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
Our correspondent, Wyre Davies, is in Brasilia for us | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
And Dilma Rousseff has been giving her reaction | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
Yes, after losing that dramatic vote on impeachment, she has announced | :24:24. | :24:36. | |
this as an assault on the truth, democracy and the rule of law was | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
that this is a critical year for Brazil, a country welcoming the | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
Olympics later this year. President Obama areas hanging on to power by | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
her fingertips. -- Rousseff is hanging onto power. | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
A routine changing of the guard in Brasilia. | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
Not yet a metaphor for a change of government | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
but there is a real clamour for reform in South America's | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
Thousands celebrated the moment that Congress voted to begin impeachment | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
proceedings against President Rousseff. | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
Clad in the national colours of green and gold, | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
opponents of the ruling Workers Party sense | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
Invoking God, their families and patriotism, few deputies | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
actually mentioned the charges of which the president | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
That she hid the scale of the budget deficit. | :25:25. | :25:35. | |
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, | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
says one former aide. I think the main problem was not | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
to face the true and hard situation of Brazil's economic situation, | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
to tell people the way things were. Rousseff remains in the presidential | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
palace, pending a full impeachment This crisis could | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
drag on for months. The removal of an unpopular | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
president will not necessarily solve the problems of a country | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
in recession with 10% inflation and facing | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
a huge corruption scandal. The President's working-class base, | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
preparing to leave Brasilia, after travelling halfway | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
across the country to support her. The fight is not lost, | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
says community worker Luisa Mariano. I want her to know we will continue | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
to be at her side and defend her social programmes in the streets, | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
if we have to. Others fear they have a lot to lose | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
if Rousseff is forced from office. The FA have charged Leicester City's | :27:21. | :27:29. | |
leading goalscorer, Jamie Vardy, with improper conduct | :27:30. | :27:37. | |
for his reaction to being sent off in yesterday's | :27:38. | :27:39. | |
game against West Ham. It means the striker's one-match | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
ban could be extended. And Vardy's day didn't get any | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
better, as Harry Kane overtook him as the Premier | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
League's top goalscorer. Kane scored twice this evening | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
to help second-placed Tottenham to a 1-0 win | :27:54. | :27:54. | |
at Stoke to close the gap with Leicester at the top | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
of the table to five points On Thursday, the Queen | :28:01. | :28:02. | |
will celebrate her 90th She is already Britain's oldest | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
and longest reigning monarch. In the first in a series | :28:10. | :28:17. | |
of reports this week, our Royal Correspondent, | :28:18. | :28:19. | |
Nicholas Witchell, considers the driving principles which have | :28:20. | :28:20. | |
marked her reign. It has been a long life, | :28:21. | :28:28. | |
devoted to service. She was ten when she discovered that | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
one day she would be Queen. Through the Second World War | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
and the years that followed, she watched and learned from her | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
father, King George VI. His death in 1952 placed Elizabeth | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
on the throne at The ancient rituals of coronation, | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
the swearing of the coronation oath, her anointment | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
with holy oil and her There are parallels, churchmen say, | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
between the qualities required of a monarch | :28:57. | :29:03. | |
and those of a priest. I think when she was, as it were, | :29:04. | :29:10. | |
called to this office when her father died, I think | :29:11. | :29:13. | |
from that sprang her awareness that she had to | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
serve her people, which she said in her opening words, | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
"I'm here to serve you," and she's done so, some people | :29:21. | :29:22. | |
say it in a priestly fashion, I would certainly say it springs | :29:23. | :29:26. | |
from her Christian values, her sense of | :29:27. | :29:29. | |
calling for the office. She was there as a | :29:30. | :29:35. | |
golden thread running Now, on the threshold | :29:36. | :29:37. | |
of her 90th birthday, has there been any change in the Queen's | :29:38. | :29:44. | |
capacity to continue? Her first cousin Margaret | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
Rhodes says there has So far she has shown no sign | :29:49. | :29:50. | |
of wilting in the job. She is asking other members | :29:51. | :29:57. | |
of family to step in and do a lot of You know it's something that is | :29:58. | :30:01. | |
happening gradually and almost And to the inevitable question, | :30:02. | :30:10. | |
"Might the Queen retire and hand the throne to Prince Charles?", | :30:11. | :30:18. | |
there is an emphatic answer. She has made it perfectly | :30:19. | :30:21. | |
plain that through age there is no possibilty | :30:22. | :30:23. | |
of her abdicating in favour of her I think she feels that she | :30:24. | :30:28. | |
was... The vows she made on her coronation | :30:29. | :30:38. | |
were ones that she wants She is Elizabeth II, a monarch | :30:39. | :30:42. | |
sustained by duty. There is one thing about | :30:43. | :30:51. | |
which we can be certain and it is this - even at the age | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
of very nearly 90, the Queen's commitment to her role as monarch | :30:55. | :30:58. | |
remains, as does she, Nicholas Witchell, BBC News, | :30:59. | :31:02. | |
at Buckingham Palace. Tonight, we have a special programme | :31:03. | :31:23. | |
