The end of a high street era - BHS is to close, with the likely

The store has been a feature of Britain's town centres

:00:08.:00:12.

for nearly 90 years - where did it go wrong?

:00:13.:00:14.

We'll be looking at the questions being asked of its former owners.

:00:15.:00:22.

It wasn't the cheapest, it wasn't the coolest, it wasn't the most

as a giant of the High Street - BHS - is to be wound

:01:42.:01:45.

down by administrators. The news emerged this afternoon

:01:46.:01:50.

after efforts to find a buyer Altogether some 11,000 people make

:01:51.:01:52.

up the workforce of BHS. They will now hold "Closing Down

:01:53.:02:00.

Sales" over the coming weeks. It ends and 88 year history for the

:02:01.:02:15.

firm that was last year sold for a pound by Sir Philip green.

:02:16.:02:18.

Here's our Business Editor Simon Jack.

:02:19.:02:21.

A desperate last-ditch campaign to get the public behind a 90 year high

:02:22.:02:28.

Street veteran today ended in failure. With no buyer found, the

:02:29.:02:32.

company will be liquidated, its assets sold off and its 11,000

:02:33.:02:37.

employees will be out of a job. It is the biggest high-street collapse

:02:38.:02:41.

since Woolworths went bust in 2008. Shoppers around the country

:02:42.:02:46.

expressed their shock today's news. I'm sad to see it go, yes, it is a

:02:47.:02:51.

shame. We are losing an awful lot of retail shops in the clothing. I

:02:52.:02:57.

think it's terrible for the country. Woolworths went, now British Home

:02:58.:03:02.

Stores. What's next? I am a bit angry as well that despite having so

:03:03.:03:06.

many millionaires in this country, we couldn't save a British tour. And

:03:07.:03:11.

yet maybe it should not have come at such a surprise will stop retail

:03:12.:03:14.

experts say BHS has been losing touch with its own customers for

:03:15.:03:20.

years. Great retail these years is about destination, people do

:03:21.:03:23.

research online and they go for a reason. There was no reason to come

:03:24.:03:27.

here, it was in the cheapest, not the most innovative, it didn't have

:03:28.:03:29.

an extraordinary shopping experience, it didn't have a

:03:30.:03:32.

brilliant food offer, and it never led the way in anything, and

:03:33.:03:35.

therefore it fell by the wayside. Simple as that. But this was no

:03:36.:03:43.

normal retail failer, it is as much about it owners. Billionaire tycoon

:03:44.:03:47.

Sir Philip green owned BHS for 15 years and at first profits rolled in

:03:48.:03:50.

and then straight out again as he took hundreds of millions of pounds

:03:51.:03:55.

in dividends. In later years, BHS was propped up by the rest of Sir

:03:56.:03:59.

Philip green's empire, until finally he sold it last year for just ?1 to

:04:00.:04:03.

this man. Former racing driver and former bankrupt Dominic Chappel, a

:04:04.:04:10.

man with no retail experience whatsoever. He took millions out of

:04:11.:04:14.

the company in fees and loans before it collapsed into administration in

:04:15.:04:19.

April. Despite multiple expressions of interest, no credible buyer was

:04:20.:04:23.

found and the plug was pulled today. My reaction is little compared with

:04:24.:04:28.

the 11,000 workers who now face the dole queue. And the 20,000 people

:04:29.:04:36.

who built up and expect if not already drawing to draw a pension.

:04:37.:04:41.

They must feel very deserted, and we know other people in this whole

:04:42.:04:46.

terrible 's saga have been able to walk away taking quite a bit of

:04:47.:04:50.

money with them. As the doors close tonight, those issues and many more

:04:51.:04:51.

remain open. In many ways, that is economic life.

:04:52.:05:04.

Companies that don't give up the time, don't adapt to a changing

:05:05.:05:07.

customer needs, they perish, other ones thrive, that is just life but

:05:08.:05:10.

this is more than that. This is really a story about the owners, how

:05:11.:05:14.

much money they took out of the business and did they put it in and

:05:15.:05:18.

in the border states it had very little chance of surviving? Those

:05:19.:05:23.

are the questions that will asked of Philip green and Dominic Chappel,

:05:24.:05:26.

who face MPs, including Frank Field who you saw in that piece. They will

:05:27.:05:29.

want to know how much did you take out, how much did you know, did

:05:30.:05:34.

Philip green Celek two and irresponsible new owner -- did

:05:35.:05:39.

Philip green sell it to an irresponsible new owner.

:05:40.:05:43.

The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said the EU can deliver positive

:05:44.:05:46.

change on a wide range of issues - and that there is an "overwhelming

:05:47.:05:49.

Mr Corbyn insisted that he IS getting his pro-EU message across -

:05:50.:05:54.

despite criticism from a union leader that his support so far

:05:55.:05:56.

He also addressed fears over EU immigration,

:05:57.:05:59.

saying it could be a 'disconcerting' issue for many Labour supporters.

:06:00.:06:02.

Here's our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg.

:06:03.:06:04.

Has Labour just been looking on as the Tories fight it out? That is the

:06:05.:06:11.

fear among the in camp, as the debate grinds towards the end. So

:06:12.:06:15.

there has been a squeeze on to push the party's leader to speak loud and

:06:16.:06:21.

proud. We, the Labour Party, are overwhelmingly for staying in,

:06:22.:06:26.

because we believe the European Union has brought investment, jobs

:06:27.:06:29.

and protection of workers, consumers and the environment. But many Labour

:06:30.:06:34.

voters think that has also come with too much immigration, acknowledged

:06:35.:06:37.

more clearly than ever by Mr Corbyn today. But some communities can

:06:38.:06:42.

change dramatically and rapidly and that can be disconcerting for some

:06:43.:06:46.

people. That doesn't make all of them little Englanders, xenophobes

:06:47.:06:51.

or racists. One of your biggest supporters, the leader of the GMB,

:06:52.:06:54.

has told the BBC that Labour has failed to get its message across. I

:06:55.:06:58.

think the message has been very, very clear, that we are campaigning

:06:59.:07:03.

to defend and extend workers' rights and trade union rights in Britain as

:07:04.:07:07.

we would across Europe, working with others, and also pointing out that

:07:08.:07:10.

it is the British government does not economic austerity measures that

:07:11.:07:18.

have caused many of the problems. What is loud and clear at this

:07:19.:07:25.

Labour club in Preston, an overwhelming sense that this group

:07:26.:07:28.

at least want to take the chance of leaving. It is immigration, the

:07:29.:07:34.

number one priority is immigration. It is a small island, we are overrun

:07:35.:07:40.

by people. I am undecided, all of my family is voting out. It is about

:07:41.:07:46.

taking England back. They don't call us great Britain for nothing, do

:07:47.:07:53.

they? I'm with Boris. LAUGHTER And Labour's official campaign to

:07:54.:07:57.

stay in isn't always receiving, shall we say, the warmest of

:07:58.:08:03.

welcomes. Go back to London with all of you yuppie friends and your bank

:08:04.:08:08.

appends, we are Cornish fishermen. In Cornwall, it seemed there were

:08:09.:08:11.

more placards than members of the public turning out to listen. What

:08:12.:08:17.

we are about is to ensure that Cornwall continues to benefit from

:08:18.:08:20.

an incredible level of EU funding. One powerful union leader worries

:08:21.:08:27.

that the inside may lose because Labour dead villages their vote dump

:08:28.:08:34.

-- don't feel it is their fight. We have tens of thousands of GMB jobs

:08:35.:08:38.

directly reliant on Europe, and it leaves those jobs from rubble in the

:08:39.:08:42.

least and downright going down the toilet in the worst-case scenario.

:08:43.:08:46.

Only a clutch of Labour MPs believe we should leave the EU, but they

:08:47.:08:50.

claim they have the air of party supporters. They want to take

:08:51.:08:54.

control back to own country, and I'm afraid the leadership of the Labour

:08:55.:08:57.

Party is very much out of touch with the rank and file Labour supporter.

:08:58.:09:02.

Jeremy Corbyn's promise in the next few week, days will become more

:09:03.:09:08.

intense, but what is striking listening to him today is the listed

:09:09.:09:14.

almost as many downsides as good sides at the union. He wants you to

:09:15.:09:19.

vote to stay in, but he is also pushing for a very different

:09:20.:09:24.

European Union. An ovation here, but to help keep Britain in the EU,

:09:25.:09:27.

Labour needs more than applause. Jeremy Corbyn wasn't the only

:09:28.:09:29.

person pressing the case The German chancellor Angela Merkel

:09:30.:09:32.

has also been expressing her hopes Let's speak to Laura

:09:33.:09:35.

who's at Westminster now. Rita, thanks very much. What voters

:09:36.:09:48.

are not suffering from right now is a shortage of politicians getting

:09:49.:09:51.

involved in this whole date. In the last 34 hours we have the Spanish

:09:52.:09:55.

leader, the Dutch leader, and now this afternoon Angela Merkel,

:09:56.:09:59.

arguably the most powerful politician in Europe saying a bit

:10:00.:10:03.

more diplomatically than this simply we would be crazy if we were to vote

:10:04.:10:10.

to leave the European Union. TRANSLATION: In my experience over

:10:11.:10:15.

the last few years, you will never get really good results in

:10:16.:10:18.

negotiations, particularly on very important issues, when you are not

:10:19.:10:23.

in the room and giving input to the decision. It is no great surprise

:10:24.:10:27.

that we have known that for a while, what matters is that she has chosen

:10:28.:10:30.

to intervene at a really sensitive time for the campaign. The actors

:10:31.:10:35.

show David Cameron is panicking and getting his mates from the EU

:10:36.:10:41.

involved, but it is also tricky for the out campaign, because she warned

:10:42.:10:45.

very directly that life for the economy outside the EU could be very

:10:46.:10:50.

chilly indeed. The out campaigners have consistently said common-sense

:10:51.:10:52.

dictates that we would be able to trade with our European partners,

:10:53.:10:57.

even outside the EU. What Angela Merkel did in that comment was for a

:10:58.:11:02.

cold bucket of Walker over that, and I think we can expect the remain

:11:03.:11:06.

side to remind voters of that again and again in the days to come.

taking up arms. Although both kinds of jihad

:12:47.:13:02.

are taught on the course, experts say too much emphasis

:13:03.:13:05.

is on the fighting kind. It prepares people for violence,

:13:06.:13:10.

if I put it that way. And it could turn people,

domain roaming around freely able to manipulate minds.

:14:16.:14:32.

The Ministry of Justice says it is already doing

:14:33.:14:34.

understands it will now investigate the allegations raised

:14:35.:14:37.

It's been reported in the US that the singer Prince died

:14:38.:14:42.

The 57-year-old star was found dead in a lift

:14:43.:14:45.

As part of their investigations, detectives have questioned a doctor

:14:46.:14:49.

who saw Prince twice in the weeks before he died.

:14:50.:14:54.

The Foreign Secretary Phillip Hammond has met the first contingent

:14:55.:14:56.

of British troops who will be deployed to Somalia in the coming

:14:57.:14:59.

months to support missions there by the United Nations

:15:00.:15:01.

He arrived the day after a bomb blast hit a hotel

:15:02.:15:06.

From Mogadishu, Alastair Leithead reports now on a city attempting

:15:07.:15:09.

to live life normally, despite the outbreaks of violence.

:15:10.:15:16.

Patrolling the dangerous streets of Mogadishu.

:15:17.:15:21.

We joined a checkpoint, manned by Somali police and troops

:15:22.:15:28.

from other African nations supporting them on the long road

:15:29.:15:30.

Mogadishu, like much of Somalia, still isn't safe.

:15:31.:15:35.

The risk here is car bombs, suicide attacks.

:15:36.:15:39.

Al-Shabbab, although they have been driven from many cities, still

:15:40.:15:41.

Security isn't good, but with regards to businesses

:15:42.:15:45.

opening up and politics, it is a bit more optimistic.

:15:46.:15:48.

And so Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond met the president,

:15:49.:16:02.

Far from fully democratic, but a big step towards rebuilding

:16:03.:16:06.

a new federal-state after 25 years of civil war, as long

:16:07.:16:09.

So let me start off by introducing yourself...

:16:10.:16:11.

At a hip rooftop pizza place that has just opened, we were preparing

:16:12.:16:14.

to interview Marian Hassan, born and bred in London,

:16:15.:16:17.

but as of January, permanently living and working here.

:16:18.:16:19.

It was a suicide attack on a hotel, followed by gunfire.

:16:20.:16:32.

Al-Shabbab militants then went inside, killing at least 15 people,

:16:33.:16:38.

including two British Somali MPs, who, like Marian, had

:16:39.:16:40.

In London, I have almost been mugged three times.

:16:41.:16:46.

That hasn't happened to me in Mogadishu.

:16:47.:16:49.

The Somali security forces are the key to the country's stability.

:16:50.:16:52.

British-trained police put on a demonstration for

:16:53.:16:57.

What's happening here now is addressing our security concerns,

:16:58.:17:02.

it is addressing our migration concerns, and having a stable

:17:03.:17:05.

and secure Somalia is good for Britain,

:17:06.:17:06.

And more troops will soon be joining the mission in Mogadishu.

:17:07.:17:12.

BHS is to close, with the likely loss of 11,000 jobs.

:17:13.:17:23.

Separated at birth, the couple who took a DNA test to prove they'd

:17:43.:17:45.

Marcus Rashford to make an impression.

:17:46.:18:02.

The final design for the new plastic Bank of England five pound note

:18:03.:18:05.

featuring Sir Winston Churchill has been unveiled at Blenheim Palace -

:18:06.:18:08.

The use of thin, see-through polymer is a first for the Bank.

:18:09.:18:12.

Our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed is at Blenheim Palace

:18:13.:18:14.

Yes, so here it is. The first plastic note printed by the Bank of

:18:15.:18:28.

England. The public won't be able to use this note until the autumn but

:18:29.:18:34.

the bank has already printed 440 million of these banknotes. The

:18:35.:18:40.

plastic is made in Cumbria. These banknotes are going to be printed in

:18:41.:18:45.

Essex. This is a very British palace, and this, it seems, is a

:18:46.:18:51.

very British note. A long and noble history, the humble fiver, launched

:18:52.:18:57.

in 1973 and today receiving its most significant makeover. From paper to

:18:58.:19:02.

plastic and a new face to join the Queen, Sir Winston Churchill. The

:19:03.:19:05.

governor of the bank of England launched the note today at Blenheim

:19:06.:19:09.

Palace, Sir Winston's birthplace. He told me this new note will be a

:19:10.:19:14.

whole lot better. With polymer we can add a whole bunch of jazzy

:19:15.:19:19.

security features which means the British public can continue to use

:19:20.:19:22.

them with confidence. And it's stronger. It lasts at least two and

:19:23.:19:28.

a half times as long as they existing ?5 note, so it is better

:19:29.:19:36.

for the environment. Here is the new ?5 note. It cost the Bank of England

about 35mm is to research, develop and bring this note. The big

:19:41.:19:48.

question? What happens if you dunk it in a cup of tea? Not bad at all.

:19:49.:19:54.

Still can't Paire at, and it wipes clean. But what about the ultimate

:19:55.:20:01.

test, a washing machine? Scotland launched its own plastic note last

:20:02.:20:06.

year and in this not overly rigorous scientific test the BBC put the new

:20:07.:20:10.

fiver through the hot cycle. Compared to the old paper note it

:20:11.:20:15.

turned out pretty well. Acid test, the public, who will be using the

:20:16.:20:19.

new note in the autumn. This isn't going to tear and crumple and get

:20:20.:20:23.

dirty the same way as the old ones. They get an awful lot of use. Surely

:20:24.:20:29.

you will be using Apple pay, electric payments, this stuff is a

:20:30.:20:33.

bit old-fashioned, isn't it? It is, but there are certain times when

:20:34.:20:38.

money is useful. Electronic payments, mobile, all are pushing us

:20:39.:20:42.

towards a cashless society, but with over ?300,000,005 notes in situation

:20:43.:20:50.

it will be a long time before cash, even plastic cash, isn't king.

:20:51.:20:53.

Northern Ireland is to end its lifetime ban

:20:54.:20:55.

The Health Minister Michelle O'Neill announced the move on a visit

:20:56.:20:59.

A similar ban was lifted in England, Scotland and Wales in 2011.

:21:00.:21:07.

It was replaced with rules that allowed gay men to give blood 12

:21:08.:21:10.

months after their last sexual relationship with another man.

:21:11.:21:14.

France is about to declare a state of natural disaster in the areas

worst hit by flooding over the last few days.

:21:18.:21:21.

The move will free up funds to help towns in central France

:21:22.:21:24.

which are suffering their severest floods in decades.

:21:25.:21:26.

10,000 homes are without electricity.

:21:27.:21:30.

Heavy rains across Europe have left at least 10 people dead,

:21:31.:21:33.

More downpours are forecast for the weekend.

:21:34.:21:38.

The footballer Lionel Messi, who's on trial for alleged tax fraud

:21:39.:21:42.

in Spain, has told the judge he has no involvement in the management

:21:43.:21:45.

The five-times World Footballer of the Year and his father both deny

:21:46.:21:50.

defrauding the Spanish tax authorities of millions of dollars -

:21:51.:21:53.

by concealing earnings from image rights.

:21:54.:21:57.

A British father and his wife who were given the wrong baby

:21:58.:22:00.

by a hospital in El Salvador have finally been allowed to return home

:22:01.:22:03.

Richard Cushworth, who's from Bradford but lives in America,

:22:04.:22:12.

and his Salvadoran wife Mercy, had DNA tests carried out to prove

:22:13.:22:15.

the child they were given last May wasn't theirs.

:22:16.:22:17.

Now, a year later they've finally got a birth certificate

:22:18.:22:19.

It was only when they landed in Dallas that it sank in.

:22:20.:22:28.

A year after their son had been taken from them, nine months

:22:29.:22:34.

after they had been reunited, they were finally back home

:22:35.:22:39.

We are overwhelmed, we are happy, we feel safe.

:22:40.:22:45.

She had given birth in her native El Salvador to this child

:22:46.:22:49.

but he was taken to the hospital nursery and the next day the wrong

:22:50.:22:53.

The child did not look like them and four months later she took

:22:54.:23:01.

It was impossible that that was your son?

:23:02.:23:07.

And how did you feel at that moment?

:23:08.:23:12.

The thought that the baby I had been nursing, taking care of,

:23:13.:23:22.

loving him, bathing him, that he was not mine.

:23:23.:23:30.

Then I had another thought which came with it -

:23:31.:23:36.

He was in El Salvador with another family.

:23:37.:23:57.

The children were switched back last year.

:23:58.:23:58.

It has taken the Cushworths since then to get Moses' birth

:23:59.:24:01.

Taking nine months to get paperwork for this child has been probably

:24:02.:24:05.

the most painful part of the entire process.

:24:06.:24:07.

It has forced our families to be separated for nine months.

:24:08.:24:09.

It has almost bankrupted us financially.

:24:10.:24:11.

They still want answers as to why the babies were swapped

:24:12.:24:15.

Over the past few weeks we've been hearing from a range of voices

:24:16.:24:28.

across the UK about how they'll vote in the forthcoming referendum

:24:29.:24:33.

and what issues are helping to guide their decision.

:24:34.:24:35.

Tonight it's the turn of Graham Prior, a biker

:24:36.:24:37.

I work for my local builders merchant.

:24:38.:24:46.

And I'm actually a member of the Deal and District Motorcycle

:24:47.:24:52.

I feel that I really want to vote out.

:24:53.:24:56.

The British taxpayer's money is now just been given over to the Europe,

:24:57.:24:59.

We should really be putting our own money

:25:00.:25:03.

into our own country and making Great Britain great again.

:25:04.:25:09.

Well, they reckon it cost ?53 million a day to keep in the EU.

:25:10.:25:12.

Imagine what that could do for our own NHS system

:25:13.:25:15.

I am getting rather annoyed with the amount of literature

:25:16.:25:20.

Just trying to brainwash the British public into staying

:25:21.:25:28.

I think we should leave Europe to stop the immigration system

:25:29.:25:34.

because we are getting far too many over now.

:25:35.:25:37.

It's obviously going to have a knock-on effect

:25:38.:25:39.

We should have more control over our own borders

:25:40.:25:49.

And if they are immigrants they should have to go

:25:50.:25:53.

through the right channels to apply to come over to England.

:25:54.:25:55.

Great Britain was fine before they joined the EU.

:25:56.:25:58.

So you come out of the EU, OK, it might have a slight change

:25:59.:26:02.

But eventually it will all balance itself out, settle down again,

:26:03.:26:06.

and we can actually start spending the money on our own country.

:26:07.:26:09.

I think it will be the best for the British economy

:26:10.:26:11.

Graham Prior from Deal in Kent there with his views

:26:12.:26:15.

It's very difficult to pick one headline for the weather, we have

:26:16.:26:29.

both extremes across the country, we've had that for the past few

:26:30.:26:33.

days. This picture is from Cornwall, absolutely stunning. Temperatures in

:26:34.:26:39.

western areas have been in the 20s, very warm in the West of Scotland as

:26:40.:26:43.

well. In the eastern half and closer to the North Sea coast, completely

:26:44.:26:47.

different story. Cloudy, cold, feels like November. At lunchtime in

:26:48.:26:52.

London, temperatures between 11 and 13 degrees. The sunshine in the

:26:53.:26:57.

West, thick cloud across eastern areas of the UK. Very much what we

:26:58.:27:03.

call an east-west split across the UK, and that will continue through

:27:04.:27:07.

the course of and into tomorrow as well, and wherever you are across

:27:08.:27:10.

the country tonight temperatures more or less the same. Low grey

:27:11.:27:15.

cloud, missed in places. It might start cloudy tomorrow morning in

:27:16.:27:19.

places that have sunshine right now. Cloud should break up in central

:27:20.:27:23.

part of the UK. Eastern areas noticed this wriggling weather front

:27:24.:27:27.

which will be dilly-dallying towards the west through the course of the

:27:28.:27:33.

day. That spells rain for North and West Scotland, Newcastle, East

:27:34.:27:35.

Yorkshire and down into East Anglia and the London area as well, bits of

:27:36.:27:41.

drizzle. Through Saturday more sunshine, temperatures rising. We

:27:42.:27:45.

are going to see showers. Hit and miss when developing apart parts of

:27:46.:27:53.

Wales. Looking better on Sunday for many of us. More clear blue skies,

:27:54.:27:58.

temperatures recovering. North Sea coasts, with wind coming in from the

:27:59.:28:02.

chilly North Sea, it will feel cold in Newcastle down into East Anglia.

:28:03.:28:07.

Here's a hint from next week. These winds coming from the south, you

:28:08.:28:11.

know it is worn down there, not so warm here, so from warmer climes we

:28:12.:28:16.

see that air heading our way but with that comes the threat of

:28:17.:28:17.

thunderstorms. BHS is to close with the likely loss

:28:18.:28:30.

of 11,000 jobs. That's all from all of us on the team at the BBC News at

:28:31.:28:35.

six, goodbye from me, and on BBC
