It would be a "win-win for all" says Boris Johnson,

:00:00.:00:00.

In his first major speech since backing an EU exit,

:00:07.:00:11.

he urged voters to "hold their nerve and vote for freedom".

:00:12.:00:17.

The thing is 50 years old, going in the wrong direction.

:00:18.:00:19.

It's time for change, it's time for real reform.

:00:20.:00:21.

The only way to get that is to vote leave.

:00:22.:00:25.

David Cameron hit back, saying those who want an EU exit

:00:26.:00:28.

promoted a vision of the future that's "too good to be true".

:00:29.:00:31.

A leading doctor is found guilty of misleading courts

:00:32.:00:36.

in cases of so-called shaken baby syndrome.

:00:37.:00:40.

Questions tonight about the Government's plans to create

:00:41.:00:42.

One top boss says they won't address Britain's skills shortage.

:00:43.:00:50.

Japan remembers the thousands who died in the devastating

:00:51.:00:52.

earthquake and tsunami, exactly five years ago today.

:00:53.:00:57.

And the royal couple talk to some of those helping turn around

:00:58.:00:59.

the lives of thousands of troubled youngsters.

:01:00.:01:05.

Rafa in, McClaren out - it's all change at Newcastle United,

:01:06.:01:07.

as the Premier League club battle to fight relegation.

:01:08.:01:35.

The most prominent figure in the campaign to persuade voters

:01:36.:01:39.

to leave the EU, Boris Johnson, says the UK could "prosper

:01:40.:01:43.

and thrive as never before" if it chose a future outside the union.

:01:44.:01:48.

In his first speech since announcing he was backing the out campaign,

:01:49.:01:51.

he insisted the EU was an "anachronism which costs a huge

:01:52.:01:54.

amount of money" and that the UK could follow Canada's proposed trade

:01:55.:01:57.

But today David Cameron said those who want an EU exit

:01:58.:02:03.

were promoting a vision of the future that's

:02:04.:02:06.

Keen to get started and looking on the bright side.

:02:07.:02:14.

The man behind the wheel's Boris Johnson, but you knew that.

:02:15.:02:18.

This was his first big campaign trip since joining the fight to take

:02:19.:02:21.

As always, there was plenty of celebrity appeal,

:02:22.:02:28.

but also, finally, at least a taste of substance.

:02:29.:02:32.

He offered a vision of Britain's place in the world, a reason

:02:33.:02:35.

to leave the EU, not just a reason to be scared.

:02:36.:02:37.

I think it's time to ignore the pessimists and the merchants

:02:38.:02:41.

of gloom, and to do a new deal that would be good for Britain and good

:02:42.:02:46.

Britain could trade freely with Europe without opening

:02:47.:02:57.

its doors to every European looking for work.

:02:58.:02:59.

What I think we should do is strike a new free trade deal on the line

:03:00.:03:05.

They have taken out the vast majority of the tariffs.

:03:06.:03:12.

They have virtually unencumbered trade now.

:03:13.:03:15.

We want a relationship based on trade and cooperation.

:03:16.:03:19.

Not the one about his dream of becoming Prime Minister, though.

:03:20.:03:25.

The polls suggest that you are the man, after David Cameron,

:03:26.:03:30.

most likely to swing votes in this referendum.

:03:31.:03:32.

As well as being the man most likely to take over from David Cameron.

:03:33.:03:36.

So is it so unjust for some of your colleagues to say that

:03:37.:03:40.

you're in this for Britain, but also for Boris?

:03:41.:03:42.

How deeply disappointing it is that all you can ask about is this narrow

:03:43.:03:51.

People genuinely want to discuss the issue.

:03:52.:04:01.

And we did get an answer or two today, even if he is richer

:04:02.:04:05.

I'm still undecided and if I vote to leave it won't be

:04:06.:04:13.

David Cameron in Wales today wasn't impressed, though.

:04:14.:04:18.

Let's note for a moment that seven years on from the start of talks

:04:19.:04:26.

on a Canadian free-trade deal, that deal is still not in place.

:04:27.:04:28.

Recognisable from any angle he may be, but more facts needed.

:04:29.:04:41.

Boris Johnson's good at this kind of stuff but it's not enough.

:04:42.:04:44.

Ask who you like about this referendum and people want facts,

:04:45.:04:46.

hard information, not just slogans and spin and stunts.

:04:47.:04:49.

This is getting serious for Boris Johnson and for the country,

:04:50.:04:53.

Boris Johnson has given his version of what out looks like.

:04:54.:05:10.

He says we could have a similar trading arrangement to Canada. How

:05:11.:05:19.

credible is that? One criticism levelled at the out campaign is that

:05:20.:05:22.

they cannot describe what being out would look and feel like, it is a

:05:23.:05:26.

leap into the unknown. Boris is saying there are plenty of models

:05:27.:05:31.

out there. Norway, Switzerland, and the one he likes is Canada which is

:05:32.:05:36.

out there, it has been negotiated. It removes 98% of tariffs and looks

:05:37.:05:40.

and smells like the free-trade everybody wants to keep. But as

:05:41.:05:45.

David Cameron pointed out, it took seven years to negotiate and does

:05:46.:05:49.

not yet cover some things like services, in particular financial

:05:50.:05:52.

services. The financial service industry is a big part of the UK

:05:53.:05:57.

GDP, so it is close but a free-trade agreement is not quite the same as

:05:58.:05:59.

the single market we have now. A leading doctor who acted

:06:00.:06:04.

as an expert witness for parents accused of killing or harming

:06:05.:06:06.

their children, has been found to have misled some courts and given

:06:07.:06:09.

irresponsible evidence. A disciplinary panel

:06:10.:06:11.

found Dr Waney Squier, who disputes the diagnosis

:06:12.:06:12.

of so-called shaken baby syndrome, gave evidence outside her area

:06:13.:06:15.

of expertise and misrepresented Irresponsible, deliberately

:06:16.:06:19.

misleading and dishonest - that's how a disciplinary

:06:20.:06:34.

panel described the actions of Doctor Waney Squier

:06:35.:06:35.

an expert witness who's appeared in court on the side of parents

:06:36.:06:38.

accused of killing their children. Doctor Squier, a paediatric

:06:39.:06:41.

neuropathologist, gave evidence in cases relating

:06:42.:06:43.

to shaken baby syndrome. Today, she was found to have gone

:06:44.:06:47.

beyond her area of expertise, I have done my best

:06:48.:06:50.

to give an opinion based on my experience,

:06:51.:06:56.

based on the best evidence I can find to support my view,

:06:57.:07:01.

backed by many, many people who are cleverer than I am,

:07:02.:07:08.

who are scientists. So why does this hearing

:07:09.:07:14.

that took place today Well, it relates to

:07:15.:07:16.

an ongoing row within the scientific community

:07:17.:07:19.

about the symptoms that would be displayed by a baby that has been

:07:20.:07:22.

injured when it was badly shaken. To confirm a case of shaken baby

:07:23.:07:25.

syndrome, the majority scientific view is that a combination

:07:26.:07:28.

of three brain injuries must be present -

:07:29.:07:31.

swelling of the brain, bleeding between the skull

:07:32.:07:34.

and the brain, and bleeding We are now more confident that that

:07:35.:07:37.

so-called triad of symptoms, of signs - the bleeding behind

:07:38.:07:43.

the eyes, the bleeding of the heads and the sudden collapse -

:07:44.:07:47.

we are more confident about that as being caused

:07:48.:07:50.

by an abusive injury. Doctor Squier holds a minority view

:07:51.:07:53.

that these injuries can occur in other ways, but while the science

:07:54.:07:58.

might be disputed, some with direct experience have no doubt babies can

:07:59.:08:01.

be harmed or even killed I've seen first-hand

:08:02.:08:04.

what happens when a child People need to know what happens

:08:05.:08:09.

when you shake a child. We need awareness, we need people

:08:10.:08:14.

who know what to do to confirm shaken baby syndrome,

:08:15.:08:20.

and we need people who have shaken Doctor Squier used to appear

:08:21.:08:22.

as a witness for the prosecution. Having changed sides,

:08:23.:08:32.

her friends say she is now subject But an independent panel have found

:08:33.:08:35.

she overstepped the boundaries of what's expected

:08:36.:08:38.

of an expert witness. Dominic Hughes, BBC

on this story on Panorama - Shaken

:08:42.:08:43.

Babies: What's the Truth? Ahead of next week's budget,

:08:44.:08:45.

the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell says a future Labour Government

:08:46.:08:56.

would be credible on the economy. He says day-to-day spending

:08:57.:08:58.

would not exceed Government income, but there would be scope for

:08:59.:09:01.

borrowing for capital investment. Autumnal last year, the arrival of a

:09:02.:09:16.

new team at the top of Labour, Jeremy Corbyn and Shadow Chancellor

:09:17.:09:20.

John McDonnell, who said they were going to remake politics. Well,

:09:21.:09:24.

there is an iron law in politics. If you are not trusted on the economy,

:09:25.:09:28.

you are not trusted. Today, John McDonnell offered a solution to that

:09:29.:09:32.

trust problem, and economic policy overseen by the government watchdog.

:09:33.:09:38.

The fiscal rules says first of all we will balance current expenditure,

:09:39.:09:43.

day-to-day spending over a five-year period. That is a commitment.

:09:44.:09:49.

Secondly, we will invest. We will borrow, of course, but we will

:09:50.:09:54.

invest for the long-term for the basic infrastructure projects we

:09:55.:09:58.

need to grow our economy. What date would you bring day-to-day spending

:09:59.:10:03.

into balance? That would be determined by advice from the OBR on

:10:04.:10:07.

how deficit reduction programme is going. It would be a five-year

:10:08.:10:12.

rolling programme. Labour does not want a repeat of this moment. 2015,

:10:13.:10:18.

and Ed Miliband being attacked over Labour's economic record. You would

:10:19.:10:23.

accept that when Labour was last in power it overspent. No, I don't, and

:10:24.:10:29.

you may not agree. Many people saw it as a turning point in the

:10:30.:10:34.

election campaign. You must admit that with the public you have a

:10:35.:10:37.

trust deficit on the economy? Of course. That is why I said in my

:10:38.:10:42.

speech this is Labour's Battle of a generation. He spoke about cleaning

:10:43.:10:47.

up the mess in banking and on The Royal Bank of Scotland, you gave a

:10:48.:10:50.

hint about what he would do if the Tories do not sell it. We will see

:10:51.:10:55.

what happens with regard to the promotion of the sale by George

:10:56.:10:59.

Osborne. But if there is an element of RBS that remains, we want to

:11:00.:11:02.

build a state investment bank which would then help us fund the money

:11:03.:11:08.

for the infrastructure projects. If RBS is still there, it may be a

:11:09.:11:12.

vehicle. In that interview, John McDonnell has certainly made a

:11:13.:11:16.

passionate plea to the public. Trust me, trust Labour on the economy. I

:11:17.:11:22.

have been told internal Labour polling shows just how low that

:11:23.:11:25.

trust has fallen. He knows this is going to be a difficult and long

:11:26.:11:30.

road. Labour has given itself wriggle room. No firm date to

:11:31.:11:35.

balance the books, permission to borrow more friend vestment. But

:11:36.:11:38.

with this new fiscal rule, John McDonnell believes he can reassure

:11:39.:11:42.

the public that Labour can be trusted with the public's money.

:11:43.:11:46.

The police in Northern Ireland say they've foiled several murder plots

:11:47.:11:48.

by dissident republicans in the past week.

:11:49.:11:50.

Last Friday a bomb exploded under a van being driven by a prison

:11:51.:11:53.

One of Northern Ireland's most senior police officers today warned

:11:54.:11:57.

The authorities are on edge as we approach the 100th anniversary of

:11:58.:12:17.

the Easter uprising. Yes, it is a week since the explosion in Belfast

:12:18.:12:20.

and the police have been very clear that they have stopped further

:12:21.:12:24.

attacks, including attempts to murder. They blamed dissident

:12:25.:12:27.

republicans for that campaign of violence, which they believe is

:12:28.:12:30.

intended to coincide with commemorations for the centenary of

:12:31.:12:37.

the Easter rising. A senior officer made the specific point today of

:12:38.:12:40.

coming forward and giving an interview to say he believes other

:12:41.:12:43.

lives are in danger. He is specifically worried about prison

:12:44.:12:46.

officers, police officers and soldiers. What is heightening these

:12:47.:12:52.

concerns is the apparent ability of dissident republicans to carry out

:12:53.:12:55.

more sophisticated attacks in the last 18 months. If we look at the

:12:56.:13:01.

under car bomb attack last week, it is believed it contained Semtex, a

:13:02.:13:06.

commercial explosive. Detectives are concerned that dissidents have

:13:07.:13:11.

access to more explosives and more weapons. Thanks for that, Chris

:13:12.:13:13.

Buckler in Belfast. One of Britain's leading businessmen

:13:14.:13:19.

has expressed concerns about the Government's scheme to

:13:20.:13:21.

provide more apprenticeship places. A tax is being imposed on firms

:13:22.:13:23.

to pay for three million But Steve Holliday from

:13:24.:13:26.

National Grid is worried the move won't actually address

:13:27.:13:30.

Britain's skills shortage. I am going to demonstrate two

:13:31.:13:40.

products. Learning a skill while earning some dough. Trainees at

:13:41.:13:46.

Sainsbury's bakery College are on a one-year apprenticeship course. From

:13:47.:13:50.

bakers, to butchers and fishmongers, Sainsbury's has skills shortages.

:13:51.:13:55.

The plan is to recruit up to 1000 apprentices each year. You do on the

:13:56.:13:59.

job training, no break from your career. As well as teaching, you are

:14:00.:14:05.

using your skills to teach other colleagues. I love baking and I was

:14:06.:14:08.

given the opportunity by my line manager. The Government wants to see

:14:09.:14:15.

rising numbers of apprentices. It has a plan for 3 million more by

:14:16.:14:22.

2020. To fund this, it is imposing an apprenticeship Levy, a tax on

:14:23.:14:26.

businesses that will raise ?3 billion a year. Amy is one of around

:14:27.:14:33.

200 apprentices taken on by National Grid each year. Despite almost

:14:34.:14:39.

500,000 people starting such schemes in England annually, firms say there

:14:40.:14:44.

are also major skills shortages in engineering, IT and construction.

:14:45.:14:49.

The head of National Grid is worried the 3 million target will not solve

:14:50.:14:55.

the problem. Businesses worry about a number. Where did the number come

:14:56.:15:01.

from, 3 million? But an aspiration to get more apprenticeships is a

:15:02.:15:05.

good one. But they have to be quality. It can't be about numbers,

:15:06.:15:09.

it has to be about more people seeing the benefits of

:15:10.:15:13.

apprenticeships and the right quality of apprenticeships.

:15:14.:15:16.

Businesses do not like the new levy. They see it as another tax, but the

:15:17.:15:20.

man who thought it up is unrepentant. We are introducing a

:15:21.:15:24.

new levy on large employers that they will be forced to pay, and only

:15:25.:15:34.

be able to use the money to spend on apprenticeships. It is only by

:15:35.:15:36.

making these bold moves that we will finally fix our skills problem. Back

:15:37.:15:38.

at Sainsbury's, they are raising skills levels. But we won't know for

:15:39.:15:41.

years whether the Government's push for 3 million apprenticeships will

:15:42.:15:49.

serve up the skills the UK needs. soon army

Five years ago today, an earthquake and the tsunami it

:16:28.:16:30.

devastated communities along the northeast coast of Japan.

:16:31.:16:33.

Today commemorative events have been taking place, including a ceremony

:16:34.:16:42.

in Tokyo at the exact hour the earthquake struck.

:16:43.:16:46.

Our correspondent, Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, reports.

:16:47.:16:56.

Who can forget these pictures, and the sounds, of buildings

:16:57.:17:00.

being crushed, the terror of those watching, their homes and neighbours

:17:01.:17:04.

For far too many there was no time to escape.

:17:05.:17:22.

Today in the ravaged city of Rikuzentakata,

:17:23.:17:24.

the sirens sounded again, in memory of the 18,000 who died.

:17:25.:17:33.

This family are looking for the spot that their house used to stand on.

:17:34.:17:38.

When the sirens sounded that day, their father rushed to help evacuate

:17:39.:17:42.

TRANSLATION: I lost my father in the tsunami.

:17:43.:17:51.

I think it is our duty as survivors to tell the world how dear live is.

:17:52.:18:02.

But the 17-year-old son is clearly finding it hard,

:18:03.:18:07.

even with classmates who have also lost parents.

When the tsdunami waves swept in here nearly 2,000 people

:18:21.:18:29.

were killed in this one small town - that is nearly 10%

:18:30.:18:32.

Any government's first duty is to protect its people,

:18:33.:18:40.

so it is perhaps not surprising that this has been the response -

massive new walls like this will stretch for 250

:18:46.:18:47.

The whole landscape is being re-engineered to make it safe

:18:48.:18:55.

But, after five years, this woman is still waiting

:18:56.:19:02.

for a new plot of land with growing frustration.

:19:03.:19:07.

I sometimes think we would be much better off of we had left after teh

We have waited so long to rebuild our lives.

The world athletics governing body says Russia has not yet met all the

:19:43.:19:47.

conditions required to lift the global ban on its athletes. Its

to be made. This means Russia's athletes may not be able to compete

that it didn't happens in. Newcastle will run the relegation zone all

season. After they lost a Bournemouth at the weekend, everyone

:20:37.:20:40.

assumed he would be sacked. But he hung on all week, taking training

:20:41.:20:44.

every day while they searched for his successor. Steve McClaren said

:20:45.:20:47.

in a statement that he was disappointed with the decision and

:20:48.:20:50.

that he would have kept Newcastle in the league. With so much TV money on

:20:51.:20:58.

offer, it was as risk the club could not take. Cristiano Ronaldo arrived

:20:59.:21:05.

on a three-year deal. There may be an opt out deal on that if Newcastle

:21:06.:21:14.

go down. He may find that keeping Newcastle in the Premier League will

:21:15.:21:15.

be his toughest test yet. What can society do to help

troubled young people who are caught up in gangs,

the second time in 12 months Prince William and Catherine had visited

playground in a school in London. I am from eye gang-related

:22:18.:22:28.

you see how easy it is, it's difficult to change your mindset,

:22:29.:22:31.

and that's the biggest thing. Luckily for me, that is when I met

:22:32.:22:39.

up with XLP. For the first time in my life, I saw a group of people who

:22:40.:22:44.

were willing to show unconditional love. Also for the first time, I had

:22:45.:22:50.

something to lose. I mean, I had this group of people that I could

:22:51.:22:54.

actually call friends, and people that I look up to and people I don't

want to let down. to achieve, and I started

:23:08.:23:12.

back around from who I was as a young person,

:23:13.:23:21.

being broken down, to being I feel like I am back

:23:22.:23:23.

to being the person I was before the self harm, before,

:23:24.:23:27.

with school and problems. I feel like a better person,

:23:28.:23:30.

because I can help other I remember meeting a kid who wore

:23:31.:23:44.

rubble at proof vest under his school uniform who said he could be

dead by next week. The Duke and Duchess listened to challenging

stories, but for every one of these young people, there was a turning

Tomorrow the BBC's technology programme Click will premiere

:24:07.:24:08.

an entire programme made in 360-degree video.

:24:09.:24:09.

It's thought to be a world first, and another sign of the rapid

:24:10.:24:13.

development of virtual reality technology.

:24:14.:24:14.

This is the world's largest machine as it's never been seen before -

:24:15.:24:20.

Cern's Large Hadron Collider is spectacular in its size,

:24:21.:24:26.

and in the Click 360 special, viewers are transported deep

:24:27.:24:28.

underground to experience it for themselves.

:24:29.:24:35.

If you're wearing a VR headset, you can feel completely

:24:36.:24:37.

surrounded, as if you were really there.

:24:38.:24:42.

Even without the high-end kit, you can still get the VR

:24:43.:24:44.

You just need a motion sensitive smartphone.

:24:45.:24:48.

As you move it around, the viewpoint changes.

:24:49.:24:53.

Or you could slot it into one of these cheap and cheerful

:24:54.:24:55.

headsets for an even more immersive experience.

:24:56.:24:57.

And if all else fails, you can use your mouse

:24:58.:25:00.

or your finger to drag the shot around on a web page.

:25:01.:25:04.

Like the BBC, many broadcasters are now experimenting with 360

:25:05.:25:06.

cameras, which shoot in all directions at

:25:07.:25:08.

We actually started to do it 20 years

:25:09.:25:16.

ago, but it has taken this long to get the technology ready.

:25:17.:25:19.

When we did it in the past, it made you feel

:25:20.:25:22.

a bit queasy, a bit sick, but the headset now will teleport me

:25:23.:25:25.

I can take you to the jungle, to space and anywhere in between.

:25:26.:25:29.

Certainly, the big tech companies are getting in on the game.

:25:30.:25:32.

Adverts for Samsung's Gear VR are already on TV,

:25:33.:25:35.

and next week Sony is likely to outline the launch

:25:36.:25:37.

Virtual reality games will be the first market.

:25:38.:25:44.

But Facebook's boss, Mark Zuckerberg, outlined his VR

:25:45.:25:47.

vision as one where we work, interact and form relationships

:25:48.:25:50.

with people we never physically meet.

:25:51.:25:56.

It is a fascinating experience for early adopters,

:25:57.:25:58.

but there are still a few barriers to overcome before VR

:25:59.:26:00.

persuades mainstream audiences to do this.

:26:01.:26:07.

The devices aren't quite there yet, the content isn't quite there yet,

:26:08.:26:10.

and the experience isn't as compelling as it has to be

:26:11.:26:12.

This is certainly a new and challenging way

:26:13.:26:20.

to tell compelling stories, although if you're blessed

:26:21.:26:23.

with a spectacular location, it certainly helps.

:26:24.:26:25.

Amazing pictures. Will the weather be amazing?

:26:26.:26:44.

We had some real contrasts today. This picture was taken in Leeds. You

:26:45.:26:50.

can see the mist and Merck we had first thing this morning. For many

:26:51.:26:57.

of us, we had scenes like this one, taken in Shropshire earlier on. You

:26:58.:27:02.

can see the blue sky and sunshine. We have clear skies to end the day

:27:03.:27:05.

across much of England and Wales. Temperatures will drop Wrigley this

:27:06.:27:09.

evening and overnight. To the north-west, mower in the way of

:27:10.:27:13.

cloud. That brings some patchy outbreaks of rain across Northern

:27:14.:27:18.

Ireland and Scotland. Milder here. There could be dense patches of fog

:27:19.:27:23.

once again as we head into Saturday morning. Starting Saturday across

:27:24.:27:26.

the North West, that is where there will be fairly heavy rain. 15

:27:27.:27:32.

millimetres across parts of Scotland and some surface water issues. In

:27:33.:27:35.

the north-west of Ingham, a bit of patchy rain through the morning, but

:27:36.:27:42.

things should dry up later on. -- in the north-west of England. There

:27:43.:27:47.

will be fog for the site but not as expensive as this morning and it

:27:48.:27:53.

will clear by mid-morning. Dry conditions and light winds for much

:27:54.:27:56.

of England and Wales. It will feel pleasant in the sunshine. To the

:27:57.:28:00.

west, more of a breeze, patchy outbreaks of rain. For most places,

:28:01.:28:06.

we get into double figures. On Sunday, a similar sort of day, a lot

:28:07.:28:12.

of dry weather. Things look drier in the north-west. The rain in Northern

:28:13.:28:15.

Ireland and Scotland easing away. Temperatures could be up to 13

:28:16.:28:19.

Celsius. Settled conditions lasting through much of the week ahead, but

:28:20.:28:24.

do watch out for some locally dense fog patches tonight.

:28:25.:28:30.

That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me.
