Campaigning intensifies for the EU referendum -

:00:00.:00:00.

with key figures for each side fighting for every vote.

:00:07.:00:13.

It's beer, batting and Botham for Boris Johnson -

:00:14.:00:15.

revealing the newest backer of the Leave campaign.

:00:16.:00:18.

Meanwhile it's from foe to friend - David Cameron and the Labour Mayor

:00:19.:00:20.

of London campaign together for a Remain vote.

:00:21.:00:25.

Two British men are charged with immigration offences

:00:26.:00:27.

after a boat carrying migrants was rescued in the Channel

:00:28.:00:30.

The Iraqi army says it has begun an operation to oust so-called

:00:31.:00:35.

Islamic State from Fallujah - amid fears for trapped civilians.

:00:36.:00:41.

And Alastair Cook becomes the first England player -

:00:42.:00:47.

and the youngest ever - to score 10,000 Test runs.

:00:48.:01:08.

David Cameron and Sadiq Khan, the Labour Mayor of London,

:01:09.:01:13.

have set aside party rivalries to make a joint appeal

:01:14.:01:16.

They unveiled a pledge card, listing what voters will get

:01:17.:01:21.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson revealed a new high-profile backer

:01:22.:01:26.

for the Leave camp, and urged people to choose to take back control

:01:27.:01:29.

Here's our political correspondent, Ben Wright.

:01:30.:01:34.

He bowls like someone who likes to win, showing

:01:35.:01:37.

Boris Johnson led Vote Leave to a Cumbria cricket club this

:01:38.:01:43.

evening, with the message he hopes can clinch this referendum.

:01:44.:01:48.

Fundamentally, it is about democracy.

:01:49.:01:50.

This is about people being able to control

:01:51.:01:52.

No-one objects to the idea, if they want to build

:01:53.:01:57.

a United States of Europe, that's fine by me, they can,

:01:58.:02:01.

if other people in the rest of the EU want to do that.

:02:02.:02:03.

People in this country want a different approach and we can do

:02:04.:02:06.

With him, some "beefy" support from a cricketing great.

:02:07.:02:12.

We have a chance to govern ourselves again, look after our own borders,

:02:13.:02:16.

I just think that we are losing identity, we are suddenly

:02:17.:02:20.

Both sides in this referendum are keen to reach younger voters

:02:21.:02:27.

who are far less likely to turn out for elections than older players.

:02:28.:02:32.

In a South London cafe, I met young voters

:02:33.:02:35.

A lot of my flatmates and my friends are thinking in.

:02:36.:02:46.

And, yeah, and so therefore I'm very torn.

:02:47.:02:50.

We are the generation that will really impact the future

:02:51.:02:53.

and I think it is very important that they are given the full

:02:54.:02:56.

story as to what happens, whether we stay or

:02:57.:02:58.

And at a university around the corner, a striking

:02:59.:03:03.

Political foes have become campaign comrades.

:03:04.:03:09.

Just four weeks' ago, David Cameron was warning

:03:10.:03:11.

about the risks Sadiq Khan would pose to London at the end

:03:12.:03:14.

of a bitter mayoral contest but today the Conservative Prime

:03:15.:03:17.

Minister merrily shared a stage with London's New Labour Mayor.

:03:18.:03:22.

The Remain campaign launched a guarantee card, listing

:03:23.:03:31.

what they say voters will get if the UK stays in the EU, including

:03:32.:03:35.

The pledges were dismissed by Vote Leave.

:03:36.:03:41.

The London Mayor also appealed to younger voters.

:03:42.:03:44.

Make sure you make a decision that will affect your future and future

:03:45.:03:53.

This EU Referendum is bridging political differences,

:03:54.:03:58.

while David Cameron's own party remains very divided.

:03:59.:04:01.

This is a symbol of how much the referendum is reshaping politics

:04:02.:04:04.

With less than four weeks to go, the core messages are being

:04:05.:04:10.

boiled down and repeated, to capture the undecided.

:04:11.:04:16.

It is quite something seeing David Cameron and Sadiq Khan sharing a

:04:17.:04:25.

platform together? It is extraordinary. Has a political

:04:26.:04:28.

hatchet ever been buried this quickly? It was the beginning of the

:04:29.:04:33.

month when David Cameron was warning Sadiq Khan had shared platforms in

:04:34.:04:38.

the past with extremists and this made him unfit to be Mayor of

:04:39.:04:43.

London. Sadiq Khan retaliated. Today, it was smiles and solidarity.

:04:44.:04:48.

They have disagreed on a lot in the past. But Sadiq Khan has become the

:04:49.:04:52.

most senior Labour figure to join the Prime Minister on a platform.

:04:53.:04:56.

Jeremy Corbyn has said he won't do this. It is a big step. The Prime

:04:57.:05:02.

Minister thinks it shows a unity of purpose in the campaign. They

:05:03.:05:06.

clearly think it is going to cut through and appeal to voters. Vote

:05:07.:05:09.

Leave said it looked a bit desperate. It was also interesting

:05:10.:05:14.

today that David Cameron and Boris Johnson avoided doing anything to

:05:15.:05:18.

pour fuel on the increasingly fractious, angry, bitter row going

:05:19.:05:21.

on within the Tory Party around this referendum. They sidestepped any

:05:22.:05:25.

possibility of talking about that. They wanted to focus on the issues

:05:26.:05:30.

and avoid any talk of Tory civil war. As we enter the last

:05:31.:05:34.

three-and-a-half weeks that, is what we will see, a narrowing down on the

:05:35.:05:39.

core issues. Ben Wright, thank you. Two British men have been remanded

:05:47.:05:49.

appeared in front of Medway Magistrates' Court charged with

immigration offences. Tomorrow, the Government will give new powers to

the summer, they will set up three new hubs to tackle the problem of

:07:20.:07:23.

illegal immigration in the Channel which some believe is a growing

issue. We must not be complacent. We are already hearing from the

:07:29.:07:32.

Government and various Conservative MPs that this is the safest border

:07:33.:07:36.

in Europe. I'd like to hear it is the most secure border in Europe.

this report from Baghdad. This latest phase in the offensive

got under way at dawn. Exactly a week after

:08:13.:08:14.

the whole campaign to oust so-called Islamic State

:08:15.:08:18.

from Fallujah was launched. The renewed assault was preceded

by heavy artillery bombardments Jets from the American-led coalition

issues is whether agriculture The National Farmers' Union wants

the UK to stay in - but many farmers say

:10:56.:11:00.

they're not so sure. Our science editor,

:11:01.:11:03.

David Shukman, reports. The delicate patchwork of farmland

:11:04.:11:07.

across the United Kingdom is now caught up in the turbulent

:11:08.:11:11.

debate over Europe. There isn't one single opinion

:11:12.:11:14.

on staying in or getting out. With so many different kinds

:11:15.:11:17.

of farming, farms in the uplands, farms in the lowlands,

:11:18.:11:23.

large and small, it's no surprise there's a great range of very

:11:24.:11:26.

strongly held opinions It's gripped the farming

community and divided it. Let's look first at access

to markets, including Over the past five years,

:11:35.:11:37.

just over 63% of UK agricultural exports went to the EU and just over

to suggest that we're not going to be able

:12:07.:12:11.

to trade with the EU. Obviously, a trade deal

:12:12.:12:14.

will be negotiated. We don't know how long that trade

:12:15.:12:16.

deal is going to take to negotiate. What's going to happen

:12:17.:12:23.

in the interim? Then there's the question

of subsidies under the In 2014, UK farmers received

:12:40.:12:47.

they both want to leave the EU. They accept that some farmers depend

:12:48.:12:53.

on subsidies more than others. But they say the whole system

of payments is wrong because it A lot of people would be amazed

:13:06.:13:10.

the subsidy is worth and it is not If we don't have any subsidy at all,

:13:11.:13:13.

I believe our costs will come down. Land values will probably come down,

:13:14.:13:19.

rents will certainly come down. And with the subsidies,

we should take things back in hand, make our own rules and regulations

relevant to this country, But what about the people working

:13:33.:13:37.

on the farms and where they're from? About 24,000 have moved

:13:38.:13:44.

here from other EU countries and of 67,000 seasonal labourers,

:13:45.:13:48.

many are thought to be from Eastern Europe, though there

:13:49.:13:51.

are no official figures. Eric Drummond is a fruit farmer

:13:52.:13:57.

in Herefordshire and he says he needs Britain to stay

definitely don't lie. It is a phenomenal achievement
