Finance ministers from the world's leading economies have warned

:00:19.:00:23.

of a "shock" to the global economy if the UK left the European Union.

:00:24.:00:27.

They've issued a statement raising their fears at the end

:00:28.:00:32.

of a G20 summit in Shanghai, attended by the Chancellor,

:00:33.:00:34.

Here's our Political Correspondent, Eleanor Garnier.

:00:35.:00:41.

They are in charge of the world's biggest economies, with lots to talk

:00:42.:00:49.

about. Volatile mar Cabinets, the plummeting price of oil and how to

:00:50.:00:55.

speed up growth in China's economy. But as the G20 machines ministers

:00:56.:00:59.

meet in Shanghai, there are fears too about what happens next in the

:01:00.:01:04.

UK. One, two, three, cheers! Good.

:01:05.:01:09.

Perfect. For the Chancellor, arguing for Britain to stay in the EU, it

:01:10.:01:15.

has given him something to smile about.

:01:16.:01:18.

The financial leaders of the world's biggest countries have given their

:01:19.:01:23.

unanimous verdict, saying that a British ex-out from the EU would be

:01:24.:01:26.

a shock to the world economy. If that is a shock to the world

:01:27.:01:30.

economy, imagine what it would do to Britain.

:01:31.:01:35.

It is an unusual move to highlight the risks but those voting for

:01:36.:01:40.

Britain to leave, say we would be a more powerful player in the world

:01:41.:01:44.

stepping out of the union. I'm not surprised that the big

:01:45.:01:46.

government gets together to back David Cameron. But the reality of

:01:47.:01:50.

life is that there is a great big world outside of Europe, by

:01:51.:01:54.

life is that there is a great big divorcing ourselves, can we enter

:01:55.:01:57.

into our own trade deals with the world.

:01:58.:02:01.

To stay or leave it is not long until the UK gets to have its say,

:02:02.:02:05.

the world and its economic leaders will be watching.

:02:06.:02:08.

The first major temporary halt to the fighting in Syria appears

:02:09.:02:11.

97 groups signed up to the two-week cessation of hostilities -

:02:12.:02:15.

but there have been reports of sporadic clashes

:02:16.:02:16.

Our correspondent Mark Lowen is close to the Turkey-Syria border

:02:17.:02:20.

Mark, is this pause in fighting largely holding?

:02:21.:02:28.

It seems largely to be holding but there have been some incidents, as

:02:29.:02:36.

you say, a car bomb in Hama, blamed on the so-called Islamic State. A

:02:37.:02:42.

regime attack close to the city of Latakia, that killed three rebels

:02:43.:02:47.

and reporting of fighting close to Idlib. But if this holds for two

:02:48.:02:54.

week, it will provide much-needed humanitarian relief, to parts of

:02:55.:02:59.

Homs, that has seen huge devastation, and also to areas like

:03:00.:03:05.

Aleppo, and hopefully to bring together fresh peace talks for the

:03:06.:03:13.

7th of March. It depends also on how Russia conducts itself. It

7th of March. It depends also on how continued to strike the opposition,

:03:17.:03:22.

and if it does so, it could break the ceasefire.

:03:23.:03:25.

and if it does so, it could break fighting on so many different

:03:26.:03:26.

fronts, there was fighting on so many different

that this could hold fighting on so many different

couple of days, let alone of evidence he gave

:03:33.:03:47.

to an inquiry into sexual abuse Mr Blackburn strenuously

:03:48.:03:50.

denies any wrong-doing. Tony Blackburn was sacked by the BBC

:03:51.:04:03.

over evidence he had given to Dame Janet Smith's inquiry on sex abuse

:04:04.:04:10.

at the corporation. The BBC's director-general, Lord Hall said

:04:11.:04:15.

that the standards fell short. Tony Blackburn said he had been hung

:04:16.:04:20.

out to dry, strength Ouseley denying doing anything wrong. In this

:04:21.:04:23.

broadcast, he has claimed he was offered the chance to resign and was

:04:24.:04:27.

sacked after he refused to stand down.

:04:28.:04:31.

They gave me the chance to resign, saying that way you don't cut off

:04:32.:04:36.

all ties from the BBC and we could probably bring you back in a few

:04:37.:04:39.

months. I don't think people knew that. But I said "no", I would not

:04:40.:04:48.

do that. I have nothing to hide. Dame Janet Smith's inquiry,

:04:49.:04:54.

concluded that the DJ was questioned in 1971, about a complaint made by a

:04:55.:04:56.

teenage girl. in 1971, about a complaint made by a

:05:02.:05:05.

insists he was not questioned by the corporation at the time. He says he

:05:06.:05:10.

is baffled by the sacking. I can only say that I told the

:05:11.:05:15.

truth. Now, I suppose it is my word against a judge. I have no idea. The

:05:16.:05:20.

whole thing, to be honest with you, Paddy, it baffles me. You go in

:05:21.:05:25.

there in front of lawyers, I was by myself. I told the truth.

:05:26.:05:28.

The BBC said that clearly myself. I told the truth.

:05:29.:05:32.

:05:33.:05:38.

and that as matters are subject to a legal process, it had nothing
