Immigration and economic prospects feature prominently in the latest

televised exchanges ahead of the EU referendum.

Ukip's Nigel Farage said there was no possibility

of controlling immigation if Britain stayed in the EU.

If we have an Australian-style points system, rather than an open

door to 508 million people, then actually it'll be

better for black people coming into Britain,

who currently find it very difficult because we have this open door.

But David Cameron said the reforms he'd negotiated

meant this was no time to walk away from the EU.

People I'm sure will share many of my frustrations

about the European Union, but frustrations with an institution

or indeed a relationship are often not a justification

They're an argument for staying and fighting for what you need -

for jobs, for investment, for security for our country.

We'll have the latest on tonight's exchanges,

with just over two weeks to referendum day.

Also on the programme: The founder of Sports Direct, Mike Ashley,

admits it's unacceptable to paying some staff below the minimum wage.

Mourinho and Chelsea reach a settlement with the former team

Immigration and economic prospects have featured prominently

in the latest exchanges tonight ahead of the referendum on Britain's

Nigel Farage, who's campaigning to leave, and David Cameron,

who's campaigning to remain, have both been answering questions

from voters in a live television event on ITV.

Mr Farage rejected criticism, made earlier today by the Archbishop

of Canterbury, that the Ukip leader was guilty of legitimising racism.

Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg watched the exchanges.

He's waited years for this, so was never going to turn up discreetly. A

moment of visible nerves for the man who has made a career of being

blunt. He wants and needs to win. And despite his demeanour, the path

to the referendum is proving far from smooth.

Both politicians taking on the toughest challengers, not each

other, but the voting public. Without hesitation, the audience

demanded to know why believe him that the economy would be safe

outside the EU? 12% is exports to the European Union. The other 88%

This is specifically... It's also about jobs too. A report from the

Government, so get that around your head, 32 billion. The agency is in

London. It's all the medicines, all the ground-breaking ones for the

whole of Europe reviewed in London and Brussels listens to us. You

can't do that if you are not part of Europe. I am sorry...

APPLAUSE. This is entirely and utterly false. Before long, rather

than his warnings about immigration finding favour, several audience

members turned instead on him. You have basically suggested that a vote

to remain is a vote for British women to be subdued to the same

horrific assaults. Just calm down there a little bit. She asked a

perfectly... You know, sometimes in life, what it says at the top of a

newspaper page and what you have actually said can be slightly

different things. Look, I am used to be demonised. Are you not

embarrassed that Justin Welby today said you are legitimising racism. I

am sorry, I am not going to attack the Archbishop of Canterbury. You

are anti-immigration. You have used scaremongering and inflammatory

comments in your campaign that have gone against people that look

non-white. Non-white British people, how are they going to stop facing

discrimination about their identity in this country, that's what I

really want to know? APPLAUSE. I am sorry... Look what he

was ready to brandish when asked how leaving the EU would keep us safe.

This is, should be a British passport, it says European Union on

it. All right. I think, to make this country safer we need to get back

British passports so that we can check everybody else coming in to

this country. I really do. The project doesn't work. I want us to

get back our independence but to say we will be good Europeans, we will

trade with Europe. Co-operate with Europe, but govern ourselves. After

a hostile half hour, the Prime Minister walked on to more tough

demands. A damming verdict on the deal he brokered with the rest of

the EU. You wanted to remove the free movement of people so that we

could recruit skilled people from all over the world. Not baristas

from the EU. You were Huw mill mated -- humiliated on that. Why are you

saying the EU was wonderful, you were saying you would leave if you

didn't get those reform as soon as What I said in the reforms I sought,

I said we needed to be less of a single currency club so I wanted

garn fees for the pound and I got those. -- guarantees. I wanted it to

be less bureaucratic so I wanted targets to cut regulation, including

on small businesses and I got that. Again, the audience turned to

immigration. The Prime Minister pushed on the promises he made. I

voted for new the last election because one of the things on the

manifesto was to get immigration down. You haven't been able to do

that because you are not allowed to do that. That's the bottom line. So,

how are you - I can see my standard of living and my family's standard

of living going down because of this influx that we can't control. Now, I

am sorry to say but you are -- your closing statement last week was that

if we leave the EU, we are rolling a dice with our children's future. I

think quite the opposite, by you telling us to stay in you have

rolled that dice already. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE.

Obviously I don't agree with that. I think the biggest risk we can take

is to pull out of the EU, pull out of the single market. We need to be

in this organisation, fighting for British interests and for British

jobs. Leaving is quitting. I don't think Britain, I don't think we are

quitters. Which are fighters, we fight in these organisations for

what we think is right. Like the wider public, the audience wouldn't

swallow either side's case without complaint. Tonight's applause will

have faded long before the arguments are won.

Those exchanges ended about half an hour ago. Let's go to the Olympic

Park in east London and Laura is there for us.

What was your impression of the way that David Cameron and Nigel Farage

succeeded or didn't succeed in getting their cases over? Well, you

know, one man, Nigel Farage, came here tonight probably with not much

to lose. One man, David Cameron, came here tonight with pretty much

everything to lose. I think at the end of the debate really neither of

them were winners. This was a very hostile, intense hour of

conversation with the audience. The clashes were dominated by

immigration. In a sense, I felt the audience was rather frustrated by

what they heard from both of them. Nigel Farage was more or less

accused of stoking up racism. The Prime Minister was accused of

breaking his promises too. There was a sense, it's interesting and so

telling when the public gets hold of politicians on debates like this

that they somehow weren't satisfied with what they have been hearing,

either in the last few weeks or tonight here at the Olympic Park.

There is a sense that audiences and perhaps the wider voting public

wants more answers, more clarity, maybe even still more information

from their politicians. But we are hurtling towards this referendum now

and there is nothing at all certain about new or different answers being

provided. Thank you. People have until midnight

tonight to register to vote The Electoral Commission says

1.65 million people have applied for a vote since the campaign began

last month but millions more The Commission says it's the last

chance for people to take part. More than 200,000 registered online

yesterday, the largest number on any day so far, as our chief

correspondent Gavin Hewitt explains. My name's Harry and I am

not registered to vote. My name is John and I am

not registered to vote. My name's Emily and I have

registered to vote. At Reading College the great divide

between those who have registered to vote in the referendum

and those who haven't. The deadline is midnight tonight

and it's thought several million people have yet to register.

Jonny Venner is a trainee plumber. It probably does affect me but I am

not really interested Did you know that today

was the deadline if you want Emily Withers is

a trainee beautician. I mean, it's going to affect jobs

and our laws. So, I think everyone should vote,

if you have an opinion on it. These trainee chefs are certain

they've registered. Historically, black

and minority ethic groups have been under-represented

on the electoral rolls. No, I haven't registered

to vote at all. Have you thought about

registering to vote? I have heard a lot about it

but to me personally I don't feel it makes a big

difference whether we stay Yeah, I registered last night

because I knew the deadline was today and didn't

want to risk it. Personally, I think it's probably

the biggest vote I am ever Well, turnout could determine

the outcome of the referendum. Yesterday, 226,000 people

registered, many of them under But what's apparent here

is the widespread confusion surrounding the

registration process. What's relatively new is it's now

every single individual's responsibility to make sure

they are on the electoral They can't rely on a friend

or relative or university They also have to add

their national insurance number. Behind this battle for the votes

of young people is The Remain campaign believes that

a higher turnout with younger voters helps its cause more

than the Leave camp. And if you still haven't received

a polling card and want to vote you'll need to sign up

at www.gov.uk/register to vote. Remember, you only

have until midnight. The founder of Sports Direct,

Mike Ashley, has admitted that some workers at its Derbyshire warehouse

were paid below the minimum wage and that its policy of fining staff

for being late was unacceptable. Mr Ashley was giving evidence

to a parliamentary committee where he suggested that the company

was perhaps too big MPs are investigating working

practices, including claims of a culture of fear among staff,

as our business correspondent It's a journey he

didn't want to make. Mike Ashley, one of Britain's

richest men, the founder of REPORTER: Have you created

a culture of fear? After months of resisting,

he was finally on his way to face MPs and, to begin with,

he didn't have much to say. If I may start with the review that

you announced six months ago. What is the current status

of the review? But he soon acknowledged some work

practices needed changing. If you were a minute late,

you got docked 15 minutes' pay. He was also asked about long

security checks at the end of a shift, during which workers

were not paid. I am a little shocked at,

for example, stuff such as the bottlenecks at

security, to put it mildly. I don't think that is

even slightly acceptable. Do you accept that the company

was effectively paying workers On that specific point,

for that specific bit of time, yes. It all happened here

at Sports Direct's vast distribution centre in Derbyshire,

manned round the clock by thousands of temporary agency workers,

many from eastern Europe. But it is alleged this was more

of a workhouse than a warehouse. This BBC programme revealed

a culture of fear. Stuart Young was a

security guard here. It feels like something out

of Dickens, the way it's run, finding urine in bottles

in the warehouse because they have been told they can't go

to the toilet unless it Today, the union claimed it led

to people coming to work when they were not well

and countless ambulance You will see there

were strokes in there. You will see there were five births

or miscarriages or pregnancy-related issues in there, one

of which was someone giving birth in a toilet and the last one

happened in November of 2015. This was Mike Ashley on a recent

visit to the site. Today, he reckoned such a high level

of serious incidents was impossible here and last year Sports Direct

said its workers were free to use Mr Ashley told MPs he could not be

everywhere all the time. I'm not Father Christmas,

I'm not sitting there, I'm You just have to try to get

a balanced view and say, as an individual,

would you tolerate that? And if I honestly believe

it isn't, I change it. Do you think your company has

outgrown your ability to manage it? This chain has grown

incredibly fast. He said it went from a dinghy

to an oil tanker overnight but Mr Ashley relied on an army

of casual workers to do it. A business that now seems too

big for him to control. He left pledging to make

further changes if needed. He knows he now has to get himself

and his retail empire bombing in Istanbul.

in the city this year. Chelsea Football Club

and Jose Mourinho have reached a settlement with the former

first-team doctor Eva Carneiro, minutes before she was due to give

evidence at an employment tribunal. Dr Carneiro left the club last year,

after arguing with Mr Mourinho about the treatment of a player

on the pitch. The settlement is confidential,

but the club said it Our sports correspondent,

Richard Conway, has the story. This was supposed to be

Dr Eva Carneiro's day in court, but when Jose Mourinho,

the most famous manager in world football, unexpectedly

turned up at the hearing, it was a sign a settlement

was close to being agreed. The roots of the dispute stem back

to last August and Chelsea's first Premier League

fixture of the season. Mourinho was infuriated

when Dr Carneiro ran onto the pitch to treat an injured player,

leaving his team a man down She claims he called her

the daughter of a whore in Portuguese, something

which Mourinho and Chelsea deny. Within weeks, she had resigned

and launched legal proceedings. Today, Chelsea apologised

unreservedly, but it seems sorry really is the hardest

word for Jose Mourinho. As for their former manager, well,

he thanked Dr Carneiro for the excellent and dedicated

support she provided She had the courage

to defend what she did. She's trained for years

to get where she has. And it's good that she's

now cleared her name, It supports the fact that

what she did on the day was correct. On the opening day of this

employment tribunal, there was astonishing detail

about the particulars of Dr Carneiro's case

against Chelsea and Jose Mourinho. Court documents showed that the club

had offered ?1.2 million Today's agreement is confidential,

with all parties, it seems, now keen to draw a line under

the long-running saga. You know, Jose can go

and concentrate on the big job Obviously, the doctor, Eva,

she can look to progress in her career and possibly get back

into football or whatever A dramatic day for all concerned

and one that ended chaotically. The settlement now spares

Jose Mourinho a cross-examination and any potential further

embarrassment for himself Hillary Clinton is set to become

the first woman to be nominated by a major party as a candidate

for the US presidency. She's reported to have passed

the milestone number of delegates needed to win the

Democratic nomination. But supporters of her rival,

Senator Bernie Sanders, Let's join our North America

editor, Jon Sopel, Thank you very much and welcome to

the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Why here? Tonight Hillary Clinton is hosting a

victory party, six states are voting today from California to New Jersey

for the presidency. Although one of the news agencies called the victory

I would rather throw myself over the boat right now

I'm just not sure that this is as good as we can do.

You think you can do better than Hillary Clinton?

I think we can do better than all of them.

If I have to choose between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump,

That sounds like she's the least worst option.
