Two former intelligence chiefs say Britain's security could be | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
affected by a vote to leave the European Union. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
The ex heads of MI5 and MI6 say intelligence sharing could be | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
We would not be able to take part in the decisions that | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
frame the sharing of data, which is a crucial part | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
of counterterrorism and counter cyber work that we do | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
We have by far the best and most effective intelligence services | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
in Europe, so there's every reason to suppose that we would be able | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
to negotiate a perfectly satisfactory agreement. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |

Two former heads of Britain's intelligence and security services | :00:56. | :01:16. | |
have said the UK's ability to protect itself could be | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
undermined by a vote to leave the European Union. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Sir John Sawers, who stepped down as the head of MI6 | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
in 2014, and Lord Evans - who led its domestic counterpart | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
MI5 until three years ago - say a British exit could damage | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
intelligence sharing and destabilise the rest of Europe. | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
But the Vote Leave campaign says the UK would be safer | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Here's our security correspondent Frank Gardner. | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
Out of the shadows and into the debate, two top former intelligence | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
chiefs said today that Britain is safer off staying in the EU. | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
Jonathan Evans ran MI5, John Sawers ran MI6, so what are arguments? They | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
say sharing data on terror suspects between EU members is vital. If | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Britain left, it would receive less data. The former MI6 spy chief said | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
England could no longer shape the debate on balancing security | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
unproductive. We have built the structures in the last 30 or 40 we, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
Britain, have played an important role, making sure the security | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
dimension is properly considered an integrated into the EU decision is | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
taken. If we walk away from it we will lose a lot of those games. That | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
others say cross-border co-operation would continue, even if Britain | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
left. EU governments would still feel morally obliged to pass an | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
intelligence which could save lives and they need British intelligence | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
in turn. But the two former spy chiefs argue EU membership gives us | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
access to passenger records, alerting Britons to suspects before | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
they get here. The European Arrest Warrant has led to over 5000 people | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
being extradited to Europe, and that worries over border controls are | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
except rated since the UK is not part of the Schengen free movement | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
zone. But the leave camp point to extremist like Abu Hamza, it took | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
years to get him out of the country because of European legislation. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Another former MI6 chief says Brexit would allow Britain to dump the | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
European Convention on human rights and give it greater control over | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
migrants coming from the continent. A view shared by former Home | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Secretary. If the Home Secretary can't deport and can't refuse entry | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
to people who are suspected of terrorism, the people of our country | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
are less safe. And that is a direct result of the rulings of the | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
European Court of Justice, by which we are bound as long as we remain | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
members of the European Union. But then there is stability, the former | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
MI6 and MI5 chiefs say the postwar was that it would be in jeopardy if | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
it led to the EU disintegrating. Probably say Britain's security is | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
hitched to Nato, not the EU. The people who work in this building, | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
MI6, and their colleagues down the road at MI5 have been trying not to | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
get torn into the debate on the EU referendum. But John Sawers and Lord | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Evans both left secret intelligence in the last three years so they are | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
free to speak their minds, and the intervention may have made today | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
makes them probably the most authoritative voices so far in the | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
world of intelligence to express their opinions on whether Britain is | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
safer in or out of the EU. Both men insist their views are independent | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
of Downing Street, but what they have said today will undoubtedly be | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
welcomed by David Cameron and the Remain camp. Frank Gardner, BBC | :05:01. | :05:01. | |
News. One of the leading campaigners | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
for Britain to leave the European Union, | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
the Justice Secretary Michael Gove, has confirmed that he also wants | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
the UK to leave the single market. He said a post Brexit UK should | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
negotiate access to the market, But the Chancellor, George Osborne | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
said leaving the single market would be catastrophic, | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
as our political correspondent Britain's economy and our prosperity | :05:19. | :05:31. | |
up at the heart of the argument over whether we should stay in the EU. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Across manufacturing, retail and financial services, how we trade | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
with other countries has an impact on jobs and prices. For those making | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
the case to leave their is one very important question. Do you want us | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
to stay inside the single market, yes or no? No, we should be outside | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
the single market, we should have access to it but we shouldn't be | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
governed by the rules the European Court of Justice impose on us which | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
cost business and restrict freedom. This is how the single market works | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
at the moment. It allows goods, services and money to be bought and | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
sold freely around the European Union, but there are rules which | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
come alongside that. Free movement is one of them, which is why people | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
can come to the UK from all over Europe and lots of Britain's retired | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
to Spain. Remain campaigners think Michael Gove's worked at a | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
significant moment. You just had the leave campaign admit this morning | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
that Britain would leave the single market, the largest free trade area | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
in the world. That would be catastrophic for people's jobs, | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
incomes and livelihoods. Some people might think wrecking the economy is | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
a price worth paying, I absolutely reject that. Lance Foreman, who runs | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
a salmon smoking for Menez London, says small businesses are weighed | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
down by EU red tape. Last year we had to spend thousands of pounds | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
printing new packaging so that a packet of smoked salmon could have a | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
warning sign printed on the back which said contains fish. It is | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
completely mad. It is a huge, huge waste of unnecessary expenditure. | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Leading business figures insist the existing arrangements we have with | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
the EU are crucial to the UK economy. It is a cloud cuckoo land | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
world to imagine we would be able to have the same trade deals with the | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
European Union having left, than if we stayed in. It is one of the | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
fallacies the vote leave campaign is making. Trade deals are very | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
difficult to do. They take a long time. Part of this EU debate is | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
centred on Britain's sovereignty and place in the world, but the result | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
could hinge on whether people believe that their personal | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
prosperity is at stake, whether that's jobs or the cost of the | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
things that we buy in the shops. The EU campaign will spring back to life | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
this week, with security and living standards the main themes. Micky | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
Young, BBC News. The authorities in Canada | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
are warning that a huge wildfire is still spreading rapidly | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
and could take months Hot, dry and windy conditions | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
are hampering efforts by hundreds 80,000 people have already been | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
evacuated from the town of Fort McMurray - | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
many fleeing south to Edmonton. Our correspondent Laura Bicker | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
reports from the affected area. After the panic and the fear, there | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
is quiet in Fort McMurray, a city They are still fighting | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
to save what they can, but this fire is growing, and it's | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
taking its toll on those on the But I've met more heroes in this | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
experience than I've ever Strong winds are fanning | :08:34. | :08:43. | |
the flames towards the neighbouring province | :08:44. | :08:54. | |
of Saskatchewan. And officials believe this wildfire | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
could burn for months. In no way is this fire under control. At this | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
point we have approximately 500 firefighters, 15 helicopters, 80 85 | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Rangers, 12 pieces of heavy equipment and 14 air tankers at work | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
on the Fort McMurray wildfire. This is Canada. Canadians work together | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
in the face of a disaster like this. This is as far along the road to | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
Fort McMurray as anyone is allowed for now. They are constantly | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
reassessing because a strong wind is fanning the flames away from heavily | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
populated areas. The temperature has already dropped and has started to | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
rain a little, which is good news. The bad news is, it's simply not | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
enough if they are to put this massive fire out. This was one of | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
the last convoys to leave the city. They are safe, that Canada will be | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
looking at the cost of this natural disaster. Insurance bills alone | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
could be billions of dollars, and how and when will they ever get the | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
chance to rebuild? Laura Bicker, BBC News, Fort McMurray. | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
Police are investigating the death of a soldier in Carmarthenshire. He | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
was found on the street in Brecon and about one o'clock this morning. | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
His death is being treated as unexplained. | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
The new Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has warned that his party can win | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
elections only if it reaches beyond its own activists. | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
He said it was vital for Labour to be what he called a "big tent". | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
This morning he told the BBC he expects to have a meeting | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
with the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, tomorrow. | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
And he emphasised the party's aim should be to improve people's lives. | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
What's important for the Labour Party is to get back into the | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
election. We can only get -- improve people's lives by being back in | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
office, winning elections, general elections. I am hoping we speak to | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
more and more people who didn't vote Labour last time to persuade them | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
that we can again be the Labour government. Some football news now. | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
Celtic have beated their closest | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
challengers Aberdeen to win the Scottish Premier League title | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
They beat Aberdeen 3-2 this afternoon. | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
Here's our Sports Correspondent Patrick Gearey. | :11:18. | :11:18. | |
They think highly of their home at Celtic. | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
While it hasn't been a place of timeless harmony all season, | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
this was set out to be a day of celebration, congratulation. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
Realistically the title was theirs already, | :11:27. | :11:27. | |
If there was any doubt, it wasn't in Patrick Roberts' mind. | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
A 19-year-old on loan from Manchester City, who will be | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
Roberts seemed intent on sorting out the sums on his own - | :11:37. | :11:47. | |
another chance, another goal, another blow for Aberdeen. | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
Celtic Park's pleasant sunny afternoon went up a notch again | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
It seemed Mikael Lustig had started the lap of honour early, | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
but 3-0 down and knowing even victory wouldn't be enough, | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
It took them a surprisingly long way. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
First Niall McGinn got one back, then five minutes later | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
The comeback was never completed, though. | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
So this season, for the fifth time in a row, Celtic are champions. | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
And in the English Premier League,this afternoon there a vital | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
match in the race to secure a top four spot and a place in next | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
season's Champions League as Manchester City play Arsenal. | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
The home team went ahead in both halves, but each time Arsenal | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
equalised. The latest score at the Etihad Stadium is 2-2 with just a | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
few minutes of injury time left to play. | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
Prince Harry has criticised what he sees as "incessant" | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
and "unnecessary" intrusion into his private life. | :12:45. | :12:45. | |
He was speaking to the BBC's Andrew Marr ahead of tonight's | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
opening of the Invictus Games in Florida - a tournament | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
for injured service personnel and veterans. | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
From Florida Aleem Maqbool sent this report. | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
A very Disney welcome for competitors at the Invictus games. | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
An event for injured or sick members of armed forces from Britain | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
It is all the vision of Prince Harry, who has been | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
spending time with athletes, as they prepare for competition. | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
He created the first games in 2014, after wanting to do | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
something for those he served with in his own time in the army. | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Josh from Salisbury has hopes of a gold medal. | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
He lost both legs and an arm after stepping on an explosive | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
In London in 2014 we thought it was just going to be a big sports | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
day and the public would just feel sorry for injured soldiers and, | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
I will give you a big hug or something. | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
But the level of competitiveness was great and you come to a place | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
We all know the Americans like to put on a show, don't they? | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
Well as happy an event as this is, the reminders of the costs of war | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
are all around, and Invictus isn't just about veterans with physical | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
injuries, but those with psychological trauma as well. | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
American, Tino, suffered PTSD after several hours in Iraq. | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
It is clear what he feels Prince Harry has done for him. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
It gives me the drive, gives me ambition to still accomplish things, | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
But Prince Harry himself says he is frustrated his private life | :14:20. | :14:31. | |
not his charity work is still what some people are interested in. | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
There is this sort of incessant need to find out every detail about | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
It's unnecessary, I hope that people get to see me here in this Invictus | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
role, cracking on with the guys and mucking in and having a good | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
time with them and this what is I enjoy doing. | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
But the the private life has to be private. | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
For the next five days, Prince Harry says he hopes | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
it is the remarkable athletes here who are the focus. | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
We are back with the late news at 10. | :15:06. | :15:08. |
