Two former intelligence chiefs say Britain's security could be | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The ex-heads of MI6 and MI5 say intelligence sharing could be | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
We would not be able to take part in the decisions that frame | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
the sharing of data, which is a crucial part | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
of counter-terrorism and counter-cyber work | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
We have by far the best and most effective intelligence services | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
in Europe, so there every reason to suppose that we would be able | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
to negotiate a perfectly satisfactory agreement. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
We'll be looking at the debate on security and the EU ahead | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
of a speech tomorrow by the Prime Minister. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Also tonight: Canada's wildfires continue to rage - | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
but cooler temperatures are raising hopes of bringing | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
We report from North Korea - as Kim Jong-un addresses a rare | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
Ahead of the opening of the Invictus Games in Florida, | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Prince Harry on his public role and his private life. | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
A good night for the BBC at the television Baftas. | :01:13. | :01:35. | |
Two former heads of Britain's intelligence and security services | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
have said the UK's ability to protect itself could be | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
undermined by a vote to leave the European Union. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Sir John Sawers, who stepped down as the head of MI6 | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
in 2014, and Lord Evans - who led its domestic counterpart MI5 | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
until three years ago - say a British exit could damage | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
intelligence-sharing and destabilise the rest of Europe. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
But the Vote Leave campaign says the UK would be safer | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Here's our security correspondent, Frank Gardner. | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
Out of the shadows and into the debate, | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
said today that Britain is safer off staying in the EU. | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
Jonathan Evans ran MI5, John Sawers ran MI6, | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
They say sharing datasets on terror suspects | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
If Britain left, it would receive less data. | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
The former MI6 spy chief says Britain could no longer shape | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
the debate on balancing privacy with security. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
We have built the structures in the last 30 or 40 years. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
And we, Britain, have played a very important role, | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
especially in making sure the security dimension | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
and properly integrated into the EU decisions taken. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
If we walk away from it, we will lose a lot of those gains. | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
But others say cross-border co-operation would continue, | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
EU governments would still feel morally obliged to pass | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
on intelligence that could save lives - | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
and they need British intelligence in turn. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
Europe's borders and EU laws are being | :03:20. | :03:20. | |
quoted by both sides of the argument. | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
The two former spy chiefs say worries over border controls | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
as the UK is not part of the Schengen free movement zone | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
has led to over 5,000 people being extradited | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
But another former MI6 chief, Sir Richard Dearlove, | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
says Brexit would give Britain greater control | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
over migrants coming from the continent | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
and today, a previous Home Secretary welcomed the chance | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
to be rid of the European Court of Justice, | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
The European Court of Justice interferes in all sorts of ways | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
It is even considering at the moment a case involving the surveillance | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
agreements that we recently put in place in this country, | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
which the Home Secretary said are absolutely critical | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
to protect our people and to make this country safe. | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
The former MI6 and MI5 chiefs say Europe's long period | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
of post-war stability would be in jeopardy | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
if a British exit led to the EU disintegrating. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
Vote Leave, say Britain's security, is hitched to Nato, not the EU. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
The people who work in this building, MI6, | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
and their colleagues down the road at MI5, | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
have been careful not to get drawn into | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
the public debate over the EU referendum. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
But Sir John Sawers and Lord Evans both left secret intelligence | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
so they are free to speak their minds. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
And the intervention they have made today makes them probably | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
the most authoritative voices so far from the world of intelligence | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
to express their opinions on whether Britain is safer | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
When you have prominent people from the intelligence apparatus | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
talking about Brexit, it is important, it is significant | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
but then, equally, a lot of people that have served in intelligence | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
and police have said it will have no ramifications whatsoever. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Both men insist their views are independent of Downing Street, | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
but what they have said today will undoubtedly be welcomed | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
by David Cameron and the Remain camp. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
One of the leading campaigners for Britain to leave | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
the European Union, the Justice Secretary Michael Gove, | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
has confirmed that he also wants the UK to leave the single market. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
He said a post-Brexit UK should negotiate access to the market, | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
But the Chancellor George Osborne said leaving the single market | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Our political correspondent Vicki Young reports. | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
Britain's economy and our prosperity are at the heart of the argument | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
over whether we should stay in the EU. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Across manufacturing, retail and financial services, | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
how we trade with other countries has an impact on jobs and prices. | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
For those making the case to leave, there's one very important question. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Do you want us to stay inside the single market, yes or no? | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
No, we should be outside the single market. | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
We should have access to the single market, | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
but we should not be governed by the rules the European Court | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
of Justice imposes on us, which cost business and restrict freedom. | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
This is how the single market works at the moment. | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
It allows goods, services and money to be bought and sold freely | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
around the European Union, but there are rules which come alongside that. | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Free movement is one of them, which is why people can come | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Remain campaigners think Michael Gove's words | :06:46. | :06:59. | |
We have just had the Leave campaign admit this morning that Britain | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
That would be catastrophic for people's jobs, | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
and their incomes and their livelihoods. | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
Some people might think wrecking the economy is a price worth paying, | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
But Lance Foreman, who runs a salmon smoking firm in East London, | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
says small businesses are weighed down by EU red tape. | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Last year, we had to spend thousands of pounds printing new packaging | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
so that a packet of smoked salmon could have a warning sign | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
printed on the back which said "Contains fish". | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Just a huge, huge waste of unnecessary expenditure. | :07:34. | :07:47. | |
It is a cloud cuckoo land world to imagine we would be able | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
to have the same trade deals with the European Union having left | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
Trade deals are very difficult to do. | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
that will suffer from a British exit. | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
causing a significant shock to the housing market. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
Yes, that's right and tomorrow, we live from Westminster. | :08:16. | :08:29. | |
Yes, that's right and tomorrow, we will hear the Prime Minister move on | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
to a new stage, moving away from will hear the Prime Minister move on | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
economic arguments at making what we are told is a patriotic speech, the | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
case for staying in, looking at history, talking about Churchill, | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
showing us that World Wars, it means we should be part of the EU, it | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
keeps a safe rather than being dictated to. | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
keeps a safe rather than being Boris Johnson rejoins the fray, | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
making what I am told is the liberal case for leaving the EU, saying the | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
risk is staying in because there has been no reform despite what | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
risk is staying in because there has Prime Minister says. Then later in | :09:09. | :09:09. | |
the week, Mr Johnson will be unleashed on the nation, taking part | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
in a tour visiting towns and villages across the country and | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
those who want to leave say he has a more positive reaction from the | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
public than any politician and they want to use that to their | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
wildfire is spreading less quickly than feared. | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
However, it is still expected to be the most costly natural disaster | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
80,000 people have already been evacuated from the town | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
of Fort McMurray - many fleeing south to Edmonton. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Our correspondent Laura Bicker has the latest from the affected area. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
After the panic and the fear, there is quiet in Fort McMurray, | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
They are still fighting to save what they can, | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
and they may have finally reached a turning point, | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
but it is taking its toll on those on the front line. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
But I have met more heroes in this experience | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
Nature is finally lending a hand and cooler weather conditions | :10:11. | :10:20. | |
are beginning to help, but strong winds fanning the flames | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
towards the neighbouring province of Saskatchewan | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
and officials believe this wildfire could burn for weeks to come. | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
We are about 20 kilometres from the edge of Fort McMurray, | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
day eight after these fires started, | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
and still they are battling the flames. | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
What they say they need is prolonged rainfall, | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
but that is something they have not had here for over two months. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
The last evacuees have been airlifted from the city, | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
The strategy has been one of containment, as conditions made | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
80,000 people had to abandon their homes. | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
The mass evacuation blocked the main roads and two people were killed | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
I am hoping, in all of this crisis, | :11:06. | :11:14. | |
to spend a few minutes today with my own children. | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
That's not all of us can do that | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
This is likely to be the most expensive natural disaster | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
Insurance losses alone will be billions of dollars. | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
And for those who once lived here, they must be asking how | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
and when will they ever get the chance to rebuild? | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Laura Bicker, BBC News, Fort McMurray. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
Police and protestors have clashed outside the Greek parliament, | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
as MPs vote on controversial new austerity measures. | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
Thousands demonstrated peacefully, but some threw petrol bombs | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
and other objects at officers, who responded with tear gas. | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
Eurozone finance ministers are due to meet tomorrow to try to restart | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
stalled talks on Greece's debt repayments. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Police are investigating the death of a soldier in Powys. | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
The man, who has not been identified, was found injured | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
and unconscious on a street in Brecon at around one | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that he was a member | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
A 23-year-old has been arrested and is being held in custody | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
The new Mayor of London, Labour's Sadiq Khan, | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
has warned that his party can win elections only if it reaches | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
He says it's vital for Labour to be what he called a "big tent" - | :12:38. | :12:47. | |
and emphasised its aim should be to improve people's lives. | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier is at | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
After his decisive victory, how will Sadiq Khan use his | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
It was the significant victory, Michelle. Sadiq Khan took the job of | :12:56. | :13:10. | |
London Mayor and with it, City Hall, lit up in yellow behind me, from the | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
Conservatives, winning more than a million votes. Arguably, he now has | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
a bigger personal mandate than his party's leader. Labour suffered | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
historic losses in Scotland last week and it failed to make progress | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
in the local elections across England, so, fresh from his victory | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
and speaking at a Holocaust Remembrance Day event, Sadiq Khan | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
offered his colleagues some advice. What is important for the Labour | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
Party is to get back winning elections. We can only improve | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
people's lives and improve society by be in office, that means winning | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
elections, local elections, general elections. The Labour Government has | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
improved people's lives by being in Government and I'm hoping to speak | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
to people who voted Labour last time to persuade them again that we can | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
be a Labour Government. Of these remarks are being seen as a clear | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
message to the party's leader that Labour cannot rely on its core vote | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
alone to win, but there was also a warning from the Labour mayor to Mr | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
Corbyn's critics to resist focusing on internal party problems. All | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
sides on this know they need to present a united party. The | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
difficulty, Labour MPs are divided on some key issues so finding that | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
agreement, presenting that unity, is not easy. | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has told a gathering | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
of his country's political and military elite that its nuclear | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
weapons will not be used for a first strike. | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
He was addressing a rare meeting of the Workers' Party Congress, | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
which has taken place for the first time in 36 years and | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
which he is thought to be using to consolidate his power. | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
From Pyongyang, here's our correspondent John Sudworth. | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
This is the North Korea on display to foreign journalists. | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
The reality, in a country with chronic food shortages, | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
And so too with the Workers Party Congress, an event | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
in which propaganda is the primary purpose. | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
For domestic audiences, it is a show of strength. | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
For the outside world, though, a different message. | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
"We won't use our nuclear weapons unless we are attacked first," | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
the Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un told the delegates. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Outside the Congress, the media bandwagon | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
We are taken to this show home, a picture of comfort far removed | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
And to a model factory, a symbol of industrial | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
self-sufficiency at odds with the antiquated | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
Of course, North Koreans know the reality, so they are | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
Some countries have nuclear weapons and they threaten us. | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
and develop it for our country, our people. | :16:20. | :16:32. | |
North Korea has long been a master of nuclear brinkmanship. | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
The leadership openly says it has learned the lessons of other rogue | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
For the end of this party Congress, away in the city behind me, | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
we have heard the sound of thousands of people preparing to celebrate | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
what is seen as the defining victory - the simple fact of regime | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
survival underwritten by a nuclear weapons programme. | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
As those preparations continue tonight, there are reports that | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
North Korea's fifth nuclear test may be imminent. | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
John Sudworth, BBC News, Pyongyang. | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
To football and Sportscene follows this programme in Scotland, | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
so if you don't want to know what happened | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
in the Scottish Premiership today, look away now. | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Celtic have been crowned champions after victory | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
and they've lost just three league games all season. | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
Prince Harry is in Florida for the start of the Invictus Games, | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
the tournament for injured service personnel and veterans | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
Ahead of the opening ceremony the prince has been speaking | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
Ahead of the opening ceremony, the Prince has been speaking | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
to the BBC about his involvement - and about what he called | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
"unnecessary" media intrusion into his private life. | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
Let's join our correspondent Aleem Maqbool in Orlando. | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
Yes, well, excitement is certainly building here in Orlando, the home, | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
of course, Disney World, which is right next door to where the games | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
are taking place. All of these people streaming in for the Opening | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
Ceremony of the Invictus Games, which will happen in a couple of | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
hours' time, attended by Prince Harry, Michelle Obama as well, but | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
those really looking forward to this are those taking part, more than 500 | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
extraordinary athletes from 14 countries and we had the chance to | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
meet some of them. A very Disney welcome for | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
competitors at the Invictus Games - an event for injured or sick members | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
of the armed forces from Britain It is all the vision | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
of Prince Harry, who has been spending time with athletes | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
as they prepare for competition. He created the first games in 2014, | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
after wanting to do something for those he'd served | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
with in his own time in the Army. Josh Boggi from Salisbury has | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
hopes of a gold medal. He lost both legs and an arm | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
after stepping on In London in 2014, we thought | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
it was just going to be a big sports day and the public would just feel | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
sorry for injured soldiers But the level of competitiveness | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
was great, and you come to a place We all know the Americans | :19:12. | :19:16. | |

ambition to still accomplish things, But Prince Harry himself says | :19:43. | :19:52. | |
he is frustrated his private life, not his charity work, | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
is what some are interested in. There is this incessant need to find | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
out every little detail about I hope that people get to see me | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
here in this Invictus role, cracking on with the guys | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
and mucking in and having a good time with them, and this | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
what is I enjoy doing. But the the private life | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
has to be private. For the next five days, | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Prince Harry says he hopes it is the remarkable athletes | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
here who are the focus. The BBC has had a successful night | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
