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 | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
in custody charged with immigration offences after 18 Albanians | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
were rescued from a boat off the coast of Kent in the early | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
hours of Sunday morning. The incident has raised | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
questions about the security of the UK's borders - | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
with new Border Force powers coming into effect tomorrow, | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
intended to crack down 20 people rescued in | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
the English Channel, packed onto what the BBC understands | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
was this small, inflatable boat. The alarm was raised after some | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
on board phoned relatives in Calais The search and rescue helicopter | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
and lifeboats were dispatched. One of them from here, | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
the station at nearby Dungeness. Trevor Bunney was working | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
on Saturday night We didn't get close enough to see | :06:26. | :06:36. | |
the people. We just could see it was a small vessel with lots of people | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
on board. He said the conditions at sea | :06:39. | :06:39. | |
were moderate to rough that night and that the inflatable boat | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
was taking on water. They were cold, they had been at sea | :06:42. | :06:53. | |
a long time. The English Channel is a very unforgiving place at the best | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
of times. They were a bit dishevelled. Today, two British men, | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
Robert Stilwell from Dartford, and Mark Stribling from Farningham, | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
appeared in front of Medway Magistrates' Court charged with | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
immigration offences. Tomorrow, the Government will give new powers to | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
border force officers to allow them to make arrests more easily and over | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
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 | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
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. | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Otherwise, what we see in the Mediterranean is soon going to be | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
happening across the Channel. The two men charged in connection | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
with this weekend's incident They will next appear in court | :07:45. | :07:45. | |
towards the end of June. Simon Jones, BBC News, | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Chatham. Iraqi government forces say | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
they have begun their operation to reclaim Fallujah from so-called | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Islamic State amid fears that the 50,000 civilians trapped | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
inside the city may be used Our correspondent Jim Muir has sent | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
this report from Baghdad. This latest phase in the offensive | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
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 | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
by heavy artillery bombardments Jets from the American-led coalition | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
and the Iraqi Air Force also carried out airstrikes in support | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
of the advancing ground forces. So far, the latest phase of attack | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
still seems to be pressing in around Fallujah, not penetrating yet | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
into the actual centre As the battle moves closer | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
to Fallujah itself, there is huge concern for the civilians trapped | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
there, perhaps the best guess They have already been through nine | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
months of siege, a very tight blockade so they have been drinking | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
filthy water and had very little by way of food and | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
medicine coming in. Some hundreds of families have | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
managed to escape to safety. They are being taken to camps | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
to the south and the west of Fallujah where at least they can | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
find shelter and food. TRANSLATION: Thank God we were able | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
to get away from They let us starve and left us | :09:17. | :09:18. | |

but they didn't send them The capital Baghdad was hit by three | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
big explosions, two of them carried It seemed to be an attempt | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
by IS to strike behind its enemy's lines to distract the forces | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
from the battle for Fallujah. Militia commanders in the field | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
who are taking part in the attacks say that once the city itself | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
is tightly surrounded, there could be a pause | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
before the final assault, to allow as many civilians | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
as possible to escape, but IS is reported to be stopping | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
them from fleeing, accused The chief negotiator of Syria's main | :10:01. | :10:03. | |

referendum approaches, one of the most intensely debated | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
issues is whether agriculture The National Farmers' Union wants | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
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 | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
community and divided it. Let's look first at access | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
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 | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
36% were sent to the rest Mark Williams is a sheep farmer | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
in Wales and he wants Britain Farmers who want to leave say the EU | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
market is too restrictive, I think it would be scaremongering | :11:55. | :12:06. | |
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 | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
of subsidies under the In 2014, UK farmers received | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
just over ?3 billion. Bruce Udale and his daughter | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
Isabel Moseley are arable Despite the payments, | :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 | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
of payments is wrong because it A lot of people would be amazed | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
to hear that you'd be happy to give up the thousands of pounds | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
you get in subsidy. I'm prepared to give up what I think | :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, | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
they say, come red tape I think for our children's future, | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
we should take things back in hand, make our own rules and regulations | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
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 | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
in to keep things going. At the height of the season, | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
he employs about 350 foreign workers, mostly | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
from Bulgaria and Romania. It's a huge risk to our business, | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
to any horticultural business, whether that be fruit, | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
horticultural plants or vegetables, the whole industry relies on this | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
labour coming into the country. Although farmers are relatively | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
small in number, this decision may shape how we get our food, | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
how many farms thrive, The former president of Chad, | :14:35. | :14:37. | |

described the statement as medieval. England captain Alastair Cook has | :15:15. | :15:27. | |
become the youngest cricketer to make 10,000 Test runs | :15:28. | :15:28. | |
in his career. He scored 47 in his side's second | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
innings as they beat Sri Lanka Our cricket correspondent, | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
Jonathan Agnew, reports. In the age of the fast | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
and the immediate, Alastair Cook is the finest of throwbacks, | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
with more Test runs It is something which, you know, | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
has certainly driven me personally. You do have little things personally | :15:44. | :15:53. | |
that you get driven by and to score 10,000 runs is one of those little | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
goals you want to achieve. In this situation, the stats | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
definitely don't lie. It is a phenomenal achievement | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
by a phenomenal cricketer, who will always go down as one | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
of England's greats. Cook has never fully | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
outgrown his youthful looks but through his time with Essex, | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
then England, he has developed a reputation | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
as a fierce competitor. Last year, not only did he pass | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
the country's Test run record, he also put together the longest | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
innings in England's history. He has done it with a smile | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
on his face and with a huge I am very proud to have played | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
in the same team as him. I know that in 20 years' time I can | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
sit with a glass of red and tell my kids that | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
I played with Alastair Cook. Genius is said to be 1% | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
inspiration, 99% perspiration. But Cook is notorious | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
for not sweating. Rarely worried, rarely hurried, | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
but with great effect. You can see more on all of today's | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
