A warning from two former Prime Ministers - leaving the EU could | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
tear apart the UK and threaten stability in Northern Ireland. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Sir John Major and Tony Blair speaking in Belfast. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
They're from different parties, but had one message today. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
The plain uncomfortable truth is that the unity of the United Kingdom | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
itself is on the ballot paper in two weeks' time. | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
I do find it rather disgraceful for two Prime Ministers who know | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
full well the importance of the peace process | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
here in Northern Ireland to come over here and suggest that a vote | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
in a particular direction is going to undermine that. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |

Euro 2016 Sportsday as we get the latest from the England, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
Good evening, and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:30. | :01:54. | |
Sir John Major and Tony Blair set aside their political differences | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
today to issue a stark warning about what they think would happen | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Speaking in Derry, they said Northern Ireland's stability | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
could be threatened and the United Kingdom could be torn apart. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
But there was a swift reaction from Northern | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Ireland's First Minister, Arlene Foster, | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
who called the intervention "disgraceful". | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
Our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar reports. | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
It was striking to see two former Prime Ministers, one red, one blue, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
campaigning today in perfect harmony. They came here to Northern | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Ireland, which for both of them, is a scene of lasting achievement. They | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
were reaching out to hearts, minds, voters across the UK. Their warnings | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
were dark as they joined a campaign which, just at the moment, looks | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
very finely balanced. Two retirees on a morning stroll | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
except John Major and Tony Blair were in Northern Ireland | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
on business, walking the famous They had agreed an identical warning | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
- the European Union and the gains of a peace they both | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
brokered could be lost and the UK If they had been ageing rock stars, | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
they would have called young to vote, too young | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
for nostalgia, it sounded The unity of the United Kingdom | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
itself is on the ballot Don't let them take risks | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
with Northern Ireland's future. Don't let them undermine our | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
United Kingdom. Was he saying peace | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
itself was at risk? No one is saying the peace process | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
is going to break apart the day after if you vote to leave, | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
but one of the elements fundamental to that peace process, | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
which is Republic of Ireland, UK both in the European Union, | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
no border between north and south, A familiar scene at | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
the height of the troubles. But it has been peaceful for years | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
and Northern Ireland's leavers hit In my experience the commitment | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
of people in Northern Ireland to the political settlement | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
and to exclusively peaceful and democratic means to determine | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Northern Ireland's future, I think that commitment is rock | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
solid and to say that it would somehow waiver or become less | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
resolute if there was a democratic vote to leave the EU, | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
I think not only unjustified, I do find it rather disgraceful | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
for two Prime Ministers who know full well the importance | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
of the peace process here in Northern Ireland, | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
to come over here and suggest that a vote in a particular direction | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
is going to undermine. Sir John Major was saying Scots | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
might want out of the UK, Hadn't Downing Street said one | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
referendum was enough? If the country demanded that, | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
it would be politically impossible You can't keep people | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
in a country by force. If the demand was sufficient, | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
one would have to Today's young audience, | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
like so many others, were split. I don't feel like any | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
of the problems that they presented in there could be dealt | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
with by our community and by our generation | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
and I just think that They made some really, | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
really fair points about staying in the EU and I think | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
I would if I could vote Here, as across the UK, | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
it's about the economy, borders, migration and the high stakes | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
in play and the fact that it is impossible to call | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
the outcome has made it brutal. The wounds being inflicted back | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
and forth maybe impossible to heal, Just now, the voters | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
in Northern Ireland and across the United Kingdom, | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
have a more immediate problem, deciding their and their country's | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
future So two former Prime Ministers | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
were here today, back in the frontline of politics | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
to defend their legacy and try, once more, to persuade voters | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
to share their vision of the country A brief look at some other stories | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
on the EU referendum today. The chairman of JCB, | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
the construction equipment firm, has written to his 6,000 employees | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
in the UK explaining why he favours a vote | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
to leave the EU. Lord Bamford says he is very | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
confident the UK can stand on its own | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
two feet. A prominent Leave campaigner | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
is considering a legal challenge after the government extended | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
the deadline for voters to register Leave EU founder, Arron Banks, | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
says there are grounds for a judicial review | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
of the extension. The Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
has quit the campaign to Leave the EU and says she'll now be | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
voting to Remain. Dr Wollaston, who is chairman | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
of the Health Select Committee, said she didn't feel comfortable | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
about Vote Leave's claim that Brexit would free up | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
?350 million a week for the NHS. Senior MI6 officers will not face | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
charges over the alleged detention and torture of an opponent | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
of the former Libyan leader, Abdel Hakim Belhadj is one of two | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
men who claim that the British spy agency played a significant | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
part in his rendition - that's the illegal movement | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
of people from one country Our Security Correspondent | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Gordon Corera has the story. The man who says he was sent | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
by Britain to Libya to be tortured. With his wife speaking | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
for the first time on TV They are angry at today's | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
decision that no one TRANSLATION: I'm very disappointed | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
that individuals responsible But there is political interference | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
with the courts and it Abdel Hakim Belhadj had | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
fought to overthrow When Tony Blair embraced | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
Colonel Gaddafi in 2004, as relations were warming up, | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
British spies were helping the Libyan leader get | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
hold of his opponents. It was only when Gaddafi | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
was overthrown in 2011 that details first publicly emerged suggesting | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
MI6 had worked with the CIA to send Documents were found in Gaddafi's | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
ransacked intelligence headquarters, Belhadj is referred | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
to as a terrorist in letters, allegedly written by | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
Sir Mark Allen, then MI6's One document reminds the Libyans | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
that the intelligence behind Belhadj's capture, | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
by the CIA, was British. Though it says the Americans paid | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
for what is called the air cargo. That air cargo included Belhadj's | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
wife, six months pregnant at the time and strapped | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
on to a stretcher for the journey. TRANSLATION: My hands and legs | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
were tied and my eyes were covered, I was so scared that | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
I was going to die. She was released after four months, | :09:00. | :09:09. | |
but her husband was held for six years and says he was tortured | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
by the Libyans. The emergence Of the documents led | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
to a police investigation into MI6 which produced 28,000 | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
pages of evidence. But today, the Crown Prosecution | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
Service said witnesses could not recall sufficient detail and it | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
thought the evidence was not strong We don't understand how the CPS can | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
say on the one hand, British officials were definitely | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
involved in rendition and on the other hand nobody | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
will stand trial for it. The real question for all of us is, | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
is MI6 subject to the law There will be relief inside MI6 that | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
no former officers face prosecution. Those who have worked | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
inside acknowledge that mistakes were made in the early years | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
of the war on terror, but critics will say today's | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
decision will mean no one will be Southern Health Trust has | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
admitted causing the death of 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk, | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
at a care unit in Oxford. He drowned in the bath nearly | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
three years ago after suffering an epileptic | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
seizure. The Trust initially blamed natural | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
causes, but now says the death was the result of multiple systemic | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
and individual failures. Northern Ireland's police watchdog | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
has found there was collusion between some officers and loyalist | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
paramilitaries who killed six Catholics more | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
than 20 years ago. The men were killed at a pub | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
in County Down in 1994. The Police Service | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
of Northern Ireland And has apologised to the families | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
of the victims. The name of this quiet rural village | :10:45. | :10:57. | |
will forever be linked to a notorious attack, | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
murders that have become In June 1994, people had gathered | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
at the Heights Bar in Loughinisland COMMENTATOR: The Irish have taken | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
over the Giants Stadium in New York. The Republic of Ireland were playing | :11:12. | :11:20. | |
Italy in the World Cup. COMMENTATOR: Everywhere you look, | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
you see orange, white and green. And people were focused on the game | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
when gunmen entered the bar Six men who came here to be | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
with friends died together. And ever since, their families have | :11:31. | :11:40. | |
claimed that there was collusion Today, that was confirmed | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
by Northern Ireland's policing They colluded in the murder of my | :11:47. | :12:00. | |
father. Nobody cared he was dying on a bar floor. But I did. | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
REPORTER: Because the truth has come out? | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
Because the truth is out and they can't hide. | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
Five years ago, another ombudsman report into the killings | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
However, its findings were dismissed by the families of some of those | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
who died as a whitewash and they were eventually | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
In this new report, the ombudsman concludes that police informants | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
were involved in importing the guns used at Loughinisland, | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
but the killers had been involved in previous murders | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
and if properly investigated, could have been brought to justice | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
and may not have been involved in the Loughinisland attack. | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
And he says the investigation was characterised in too many | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
instances by incompetence, indifference and neglect. | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
The ombudsman stated collusion was a feature of these murders. They were | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
both wilful and passive acts carried out by police officers. That's | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
entirely unacceptable to me. Those people should be held to account | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Recall the police apologised to those who died. All know the passing | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
of time has made it unlikely anyone will ever be held accountable for | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
the mass murder committed in this village. | :13:18. | :13:20. | |

The educational gap between rich and poor children is narrowing. | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
That's according to a report from the Social Mobility Commission | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
Whether it's helping with homework or reading bedtime stories | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
parents in poorer families are doing more than they used to. | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
Our Home Editor Mark Easton has this exclusive report. | :14:19. | :14:27. | |
I would like some ice cream and strawberries, please? What chance do | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
these children have of fulfilling their potential? They live in one of | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
Sheffield's most deprived neighbourhoods, a city with some of | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
the widest inequalities in Britain. Across the UK, children from the | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
poorest fifth of households are already a year behind the richest | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
fifth by the age of five, but ambition is undimmed. Look what I | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
can do! What about you, what are you going to be when you grow up? A | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
hairdresser and a mermaid. A hairdresser and a mermaid. | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
Is the gap between the prospects for rich and poor children getting | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
wider? Or narrower? The social mobility commission has been looking | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
at a gloomy prognosis from America and wondering is it the same story | :15:26. | :15:34. | |
here. Robert Putnam offered an alarming assessment of social | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
mobility in the United States warning the American dream is in | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
crisis. Kids coming from well off backgrounds are doing better and | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
better. They are more likely to take part in extra Carrick collar | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
activities, kids from less educated homes are doing worse and worse. So | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
the social mobility commission applied the methods to Britain and | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
on key measures, the results were a surprise. Parents helping their | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
children with homework among graduate parents, the proportion has | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
fallen in recent years, among parents with low qualifications, it | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
has risen, turning up at parents evenings, a similar story, again the | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
gap narrowed. There is another measure of parental support. The | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
researchers call Gruffalo time. The Gruffalo will be familiar to most | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
British parents and it has become shorthand for adults reading with, | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
talking with, and playing with their children. Back in the 70s children | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
could expect 23 minutes a day of this kind of attention. Now, it is | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
an average 80 minutes! Surprise! Surprise! | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
Parenting support is no longer seen as something only for problem | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
families. In fact, schemes like families and schools to go run in | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
hundreds of schools by Save The Children are often over subscribed. | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
Spending time with Aaron and Sophia, we've just doing a bit of craft and | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
sometimes we don't always get the time to do it. Forces you to do it? | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
Which is out of my comfort zone at times! Stronger parental support is | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
thought to lie behind big recent falls in truancy, underage drinking | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
and smoking and crucially, a narrowing of the gap in the | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
experience of rich and poor. You name it, you can | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
probably buy it on Amazon, There was one exception - fresh food | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
but even that is about to change. In parts of London, the company | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
will now deliver groceries As our business correspondent | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
Emma Simpson reports it could mean extra competition | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
for the supermarkets. Amazon has built a retail juggernaut | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
with its one-stop easy shopping. There is not much it | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
doesn't do these days. It's already doing deliveries | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
Stateside with mixed success. Amazon Fresh, with thousands | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
of different products. Here's the interesting thing - | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
it's nearly lunchtime and Amazon says it can get this | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
order here to me between The logistics of fresh food | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
are far more complex. This speciality butcher | :18:15. | :18:25. | |
is one of the suppliers, who has to get his orders over | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
to the main warehouse The UK grocery market | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
is worth ?178 billion. Online sales are still only | :18:31. | :18:41. | |
a fraction of this at ?9 Set to nearly double | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
to ?17 billion by 2020, That's the last thing | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
the big supermarkets need. Amazon have disrupted every market | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
they've entered and food is by far I think there's going to be | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
a lot of waves made. But you have to pay for this | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
service, and will it All the supermarkets are struggling | :19:07. | :19:16. | |
to make online pay, but this company has deep pockets and patience | :19:17. | :19:26. | |
when it comes to making profits. The Euro 2016 football tournament | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
kicks off tomorrow. and half a million British football | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
fans will be heading to France The hosts, France, take on Romania | :19:37. | :19:39. | |

deployed. The eve of Euro 2016 | :19:47. | :19:48. | |

conducting a training exercise at a fan park in Lyon, | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
one of ten host cities preparing to welcome millions of fans told | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
to be vigilant amid warnings tournament venues could be a target | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
for terrorist attacks. I think it's reasonable to assume | :20:11. | :20:12. | |
that the threat is high. That what we know from | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
so-called Islamic State is that they have a taste | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
for the spectacular. That was clear from what they have | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
done in Paris and Brussels We can expect that they would try | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
to mount an attack. That's not the same as saying | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
the risk is high because what I have seen are enormous | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
security precautions. November's attacks began | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
with suicide bombings at the Stad de France which hosts | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
tomorrow's opening match. Anne Hidalgo, the Mayor of Paris, | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
represented the city as it tried to come to terms with the atrocity, | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
but she told me that Euro 2016 can TRANSLATION: This event | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
is so important to us, to inspire a mood of optimism in the entire | :20:46. | :20:55. | |
French population. It's also a way for us | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
to say to the world, "We are here and we will | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
be welcoming you." The best answer to give | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
to terrorists is that we will not The start of Euro 2016 will see | :21:03. | :21:03. | |
football take centre stage in a country that's still trying | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
to recover from what happened The hope is it will help bring | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
people together and heal some of the wounds caused | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
by recent terrorist attacks. But rarely before has such a big | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
international sports event taken place amid such | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
heightened security concerns. With protests and nationwide strikes | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
continuing this week, the build-up to Euro 2016 has been | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
a troubled one, but France 16 years ago a national team, | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
symbolic of multiculturalism, won the World Cup and helped unify | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
a nation riven by racial tension. The hope now that history | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
can repeat itself. France actually is facing | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
a little bit of problem, at the security level, | :21:47. | :21:59. | |
at the level of economy, We need football to be there for us, | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
to enjoy, to have hope and this Tonight, the first real test | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
for the authorities 90,000 people expected at a concert marking | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
the opening of the capital's fan park, proof that despite | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
everything, the French public And with the referendum just two | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
weeks away, many of you will still be making up | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
your minds over how to vote. To try to help, some of our top | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
Editors have been answering some of your questions | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
about the upcoming vote. Harrison Taylor has asked | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
would Britain still enjoy long-term economic growth, | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
even if the country leaves the EU? Well, the short answer | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
to that is probably yes. But I think it is the speed of that | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
growth that is the important issue. A lot of major organisations have | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
suggested there would be a short-term economic | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
shock even a recession, if Britain were to leave the EU | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
and over the longer term, But those that support Brexit argue | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
that freed from the shackles of the European Union, | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
and with the ability to sign new trade deals with countries | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
like America and China, Of course, the longer you look | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
into the future the harder it is to make any judgements | :23:09. | :23:21. | |
about the shape of the UK economy. Beverley from Oxford asks, | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
"Is it true that the Commons might vote to stay in, | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
even if the public wants out?" Well, it's true that MPs | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
would have to pass new laws It is true most MPs want to stay in. | :23:33. | :23:44. | |
It has been suggested that some of them might group together and try to | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
keep us in the single market, the giant trade area, but that would be | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
pretty controversial and perhaps not very democratic and the Prime | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
Minister has always been clear. A vote to leave means leave. | :23:58. | :24:07. | |
Tony asks if the minimum wage is one of the main reasons that we get so | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
many immigrants, well I think from the EU, certainly yes. While there | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
are jobs here, people will look around Europe and we do have one of | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
the highest levels of minimum wage and that, I think, is something of a | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
draw. The Living Wage coming in now, rising to ?9 an hour by 2020, that's | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
also likely to have a significant impact. That said, more than half | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
the EU migrants coming to the UK are graduates and are likely to be | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
largely unaffected by the minimum wage. | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
Next question, is remain a vote for a European superstate and | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
uncontrolled migration? Well, you know, there is an element of crystal | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
ball gazing about the Remain and the Leave campaigns, but the freedom for | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
European citizens to live and work across the block, it is a core EU | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
principle and it won't change, but is Turkey about to join? Would its | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
people free to move to the UK, no? It is light years away from meeting | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
the required criteria. What of that federal superstate? Well, some | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
politicians still dream of that, but they are few and far between. The | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
people of Europe, the voters, have never been so Euro-sceptic. They | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
want more power for national parliaments, not Brussels. | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
Anna from York wants to know what would happen to the price of food? | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
Well, Europe protects its farmers and puts tariffs on food coming in | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
from outside like this piece of New Zealand lamb. If we went outside the | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
EU, we could import as much as we like. Good for consumers, but not | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
good for British farmers. We couldn't stop the EU putting tariffs | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
on our food exports. Others could go down and others go up. Like | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
everything in trade, it is a trade-off. | :26:00. | :26:01. | |

Hello. Some weather changes. Today, Here's Darren Bett. | :26:09. | :26:20. | |
Hello. Some weather changes. Today, was a lovely sunny day for most of | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
us. Temperatures 23 Celsius, 24 Celsius in light winds. That was the | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
picture in Lincolnshire. We saw a few showers today. You could see | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
them earlier on from the Wirral as well. Most of the showers, mid-North | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
Wales, Northern England and one or two in Scotland. They will continue | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
through the evening. Some could continue through the night. There is | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
more cloud coming in from the Atlantic to give us a shower or two | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
for Northern Ireland. A bit of rain in the far south-west of England. A | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
warm and muggy night once again. A few mist and fog patches that will | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
soon go tomorrow. Tomorrow looks different. There will be more cloud | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
around for a start and there will be more showers. The showers developing | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
more widely across the northern half of the UK as we run through the | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
afternoon. So for Northern Ireland, and for Scotland, with more cloud, | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
and more showers, some of which could be heavy, it will be cooler | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
than today, particularly noticeable, I think, in Glasgow where we enjoyed | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
a lot of sunshine today. It will be turning cooler as the showers become | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
more widespread across Northern England. Fewer showers perhaps for | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
Wales, rain in the far south-west, but through the Midlands towards the | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
South East, it may stay dry during the day. Hazy sunshine, a lot of | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
high cloud, but feeling quite warm too. Into the weekend though and | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
very unsettled weather really. Not a wash-out by any means. There will be | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
sunshine and rain at times, but it will feel a touch cooler as well. I | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
think Saturday looks like it will be cloudy and damp across much of | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
Scotland. Better on Sunday. Elsewhere, some sunshine and | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
showers, but turning a little cooler during Sunday. | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
