Finance ministers from the world's leading industrialised nations warn | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
of a threat to the global economy if Britain leaves | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
George Osborne says the G20 nations are right to warn of a worldwide | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
'economic shock' if there's a British exit, but tonight, | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
a former Tory Chancellor says the idea is "absurd". | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
A temporary ceasefire in Syria seems to be holding. | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
The sacked DJ Tony Blackburn claims he was offered the chance to resign | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
from the BBC, but refused, because he had "nothing to hide". | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
And in the Six Nations, it's victory for Eddie Jones' | :00:42. | :00:43. | |

Finance ministers from the world's leading economies have warned | :00:51. | :01:14. | |
of a "shock" to the global economy if Britain leaves | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
It came in a statement at the end of a G20 summit | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
in Shanghai, attended by the Chancellor, George Osborne. | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
But tonight, one of his predecessors - Lord Lawson - | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
George Osborne put a commitment to an EU referendum | :01:28. | :01:45. | |
he said they agreed with him, the idea of Britain leaving the EU | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
The financial leaders of the world's biggest countries have | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
given their unanimous verdict and they say that a British exit | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
from the EU would be a shock to the world economy. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
And if it's a shock to the world economy, imagine what it | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
And he said - don't just take his word for it, | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
in charge of the world's biggest economy believe. | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Our view is that it's in the national security | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
and economic security of the United Kingdom, of Europe, | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
and of the United States for the United Kingdom to stay | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
The Chancellor will undoubtedly think that his trip to the Far East | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
Because whilst he has been arguing that leaving the EU | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
is an unnecessary risk, two former Conservative leaders | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
and a couple of previous occupants of Number 11 Downing Street say | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
So getting the backing of those who currently hold the purse strings | :02:43. | :02:55. | |
weapon in the forthcoming referendum campaign. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
But one of those former Conservative Chancellors, | :02:59. | :02:59. | |
will not be told what to do by those who run the global economy. | :03:00. | :03:19. | |
This is mates helping each other out. | :03:20. | :03:20. | |
Big banks, big business, big government, all scratching | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
I think voters are realistic and we understand that the world | :03:23. | :03:36. | |
is changing fast and that Europe is declining. | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
And 'perfect' is probably the Chancellor's verdict on this | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
But time will tell whether global summits will prove more profitable | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
The United States and Russia have hailed a temporary truce in Syria, | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
The ceasefire, agreed by 97 military groups, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
The UN says it's the best hope of peace | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
There have been reports of only sporadic violence | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Our correspondent, Mark Lowen, sent this report close | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
This is what five years of hell has done to Syria. | :04:10. | :04:23. | |
Homs, once a historical jewel, now a ghost town. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
But as the ceasefire came into effect, a rare moment | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
to breathe and play and it is largely holding, for now. | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
There have been some incidents today, this a car bomb near Hama, | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
blamed on the Islamic State group, killed two. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Other clashes were sporadic, so on the streets, hope, | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
TRANSLATION: We don't believe the Assad regime | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
We've had so many disappointments from them in the past. | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
We all wish for the best and that national unity returns. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Everybody was waiting for the ceasefire. | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
Today, the streets are busy and people are relieved. | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
The truce doesn't apply to the Al-Qaeda linked Nusra front | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
These pictures showing another recent strike by coalition jets. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
But if the other sides ceasefire, aid deliveries will start | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
and new peace talks should begin on the 7th March. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Now, we're not under any illusions, there are plenty of reasons | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
for scepticism and, even under the best of circumstances, | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
the violence will not end right away. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
But everyone knows what needs to happen. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
All parties must end attacks, including aerial bombardment. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Humanitarian aid must be allowed to reach areas under siege. | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
Near the Turkish border, IS continued its advance today | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
A reminder that this war has so many factions and so many fronts. | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
Well, five years of war have crushed that, but at least there is relief | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
from the daily barrage of bombing and hope that this might provide | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
a window of opportunity for all the players to come together | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
But even if the ceasefire holds, there are still no long-term plans | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
of how to end this war and how a broken country can | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
BBC News, near the Turkey-Syria border. | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
The DJ Tony Blackburn, who was sacked by the BBC this week, | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
claims he was offered the chance to resign | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
He says he turned down the offer because he had nothing to hide. | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
According to the BBC, it sacked Mr Blackburn | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
because the evidence he gave to an inquiry into sex abuse | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
at the corporation fell short of the standards required. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Tony Blackburn strenuously denies any wrong-doing. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
48 hours after his sacking by the BBC, Tony Blackburn has | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
given his first broadcast interview, setting | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
Both at Dame Janet Smith's enquiry and at the time | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
of allegations against him in 1971. | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
Welcome along to the Tony Blackburn Show... | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
Dame Janet's report concluded that Mr Blackburn had been questioned | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
by the BBC about a complaint made against him by a teenage girl. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Mr Blackburn has consistently denied the allegations, | :07:20. | :07:20. | |
He insists there was no meeting at that time with BBC executives. | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
I can only say that I told the truth. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Now, it's, I suppose, my word against a judge. | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
You go in there, in front of lawyers and things like that. | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
But the BBC's Director General Lord Hall said Mr Blackburn's evidence | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
to Dame Janet's enquiry fell short of the standards required. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
When we are having an enquiry, which you want to be open and lead | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
to proper conclusions that people can learn | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
from and the organisation can learn from, | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
it is really important that everybody behaves in the proper way | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
In the interview to be broadcast tomorrow, | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Mr Blackburn claims he was only sacked after he refused to leave | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
They gave me the chance to resign, saying that | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
you do not cut off all ties with the BBC. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
And we could probably bring you back in a few months. | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
The probblem is, if it is true that he was offered a deal | :08:26. | :08:44. | |
and he was told that if he resigned, | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
in a couple of months, then that's no longer a firm line. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
It makes Tony Hall's very principled, very firm stance | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
In a statement, the BBC said the corporation and Mr Blackburn | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
The BBC's position had not changed and | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
since the matter was now potentially subject to a legal process, | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
there was nothing to add at this stage. | :09:12. | :09:12. | |

There's political turmoil in Ireland tonight, after what seems to be | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
an inconclusive result in yesterday's general election. | :09:18. | :09:18. | |
The votes are still being counted, but it looks as if no one party | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
will be able to secure a majority, and the current ruling coalition may | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
From Dublin, our Ireland Correspondent, | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
The votes are still being counted across Ireland. While it is not | :09:28. | :09:40. | |
clear who the winners are, and Irish Prime Ministers knows his party Fine | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Gael is in danger of losing its grip on power. Really, the option of a | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
majority of government is gone, the option of a Fine Gael Labour | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
government has gone, we do not know the figures for the other parties | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
and groupings yet, I need to know those before I decide what is the | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
best thing to do given my responsibility and duty. At the | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
centre of his campaign was the improvement of Ireland's economy | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
after years of crisis but faced with tax increases and spending cuts, the | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
public have punished the two parties in Ireland's coalition government. | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
You are not happy with the government? No, no. There has been a | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
significant protest boat and this has been a day of success for | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Independent, anti-austerity and colourful candidates. I tell you one | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
thing, some of them in Dublin might have been picking on me before, they | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
have to pick on him first before they get to meet! Sinn Fein has | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
become the third force in politics in the Republic. This is another | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
step in politics in this state and across this Ireland. The main | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
opposition party Fianna Fail, whose support collapsed at the last | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
election, has done better than expected. But with the vote divided | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
between old rivals and new candidates, it is not clear how this | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
new government can or will be formed. | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
The Liberal Democrat leader, Tim Farron, has accused | :11:17. | :11:17. | |
the Prime Minister of showing "a failure of leadership" on both | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
the refugee crisis and the referendum on Britain's | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
Mr Farron, speaking at his party's Scottish spring conference | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
in Edinburgh, told delegates it was what he called a "no-brainer" | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Given that this is a dangerous and uncertain world, | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
are we safer and more secure by staying alongside our closest | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
friends and neighbours or turning our backs upon them? | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
The answers to each of those questions is a no-brainer. | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
If you want a Britain that is prosperous, secure, | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
a Britain that matters, then you're voting to keep | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
Thousands of people have marched in cities and towns, | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
across Russia, in memory of the opposition politician | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
Boris Nemtsov, who was killed a year ago today. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
The former Deputy Prime Minister, who'd been an outspoken critic | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
of President Putin, was shot dead whilst walking near the Kremlin. | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
His family claim the murder was politically motivated. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
They came out in their thousands today. | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
Friends, family and supporters of Boris Nemtsov, marching | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
He was a fierce critic of the Kremlin. | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
And this crowd believe he was murdered for his political views. | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
These were the last images of Mr Nemtsov before he was killed. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
He was on the radio, calling on Russians to protest | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
against the policies of President Putin. | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
His daughter has left Russia, fearing for her own safety. | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
In London, she blamed President Putin for the political | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
Putin is an authoritarian ruler of Russia. | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
And it's a very important feature of such kind of regimes to oppress | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
people if they show their disloyalty. | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
In the opinion of this regime, that can pose a threat. | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
This is a murder that shocked Russia and it's why so many people have | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
turned out to remember Boris Nemtsov. | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
But they have also come calling for a full investigation | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
Because there are plenty of people here who fear that investigation | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
won't dig deep enough and are worried there | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
The suspected hit men are from Chechnya and some have ties | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
who ordered this killing have been refused. | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
And over the past year, opposition activists say | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
the harassment and intimidation have intensified. | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
The nationalists who surrounded us see critics as traitors. | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
The new party leader we were due to meet felt so threatened, | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
and to make me worried about security. | :14:19. | :14:20. | |

In rugby, England are top of the Six Nations Championship | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
after a 21-10 win over Ireland at Twickenham. | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
There was good news too for Scotland, ending a losing streak | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
Our Sports Correspondent, Joe Wilson, has this report. | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
Grab your beer and head for the seats. | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
In truth, would you like to be an Irish defender facing up to | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
It often took several men to do that job. | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
James Haskell laid high and off for ten minutes. | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
Conor Murray got up to make his own impression on the scoreline. | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
If keeping your head means stretching the opposition, | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
By the time Mike Brown went over, the score was 21-10 | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
Was Ireland's Josh van der Flier a try scorer here? | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
No, eventually, was the official response. | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
'A step up' was how England's coach described the win. | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
So with three wins from three, England's sights remain | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
But in Rome, there were other issues at stake. | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
Scotland knew enthusiasm only stretches so far. | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
Twice in the first half, they stretched Italy. | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
18 minutes left, Scotland player in the sin bin, | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
an Italian try, suddenly just six behind. | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
dream hands from Hogg Six Nations defeats, | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
Like a crack in a mountain, even coach Vern Cotter smiled. | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
Joe Wilson, BBC News, at the Six Nations. | :16:22. | :16:31. | |
Good evening. A quick look into the Atlantic. This weather system is | :16:32. | :16:50. | |
lurking and will bring wind and rain across our shores late Monday and | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
into Tuesday. Ahead of that, a lot of cloud across the UK to date but | :16:58. | :16:58. |
