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.

He's told there's not enough evidence to prosecute.

:00:56.:00:58.

: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

- 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

for nostalgia, it sounded The unity of the United Kingdom

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,

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.

says there are grounds for a judicial review

of the extension. The Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston

has quit the campaign to Leave the EU and says she'll now be

British spies were helping the Libyan leader get

hold of his opponents. It was only when Gaddafi

was overthrown in 2011 that details first publicly emerged suggesting

no former officers face prosecution. Those who have worked

at a care unit in Oxford. He drowned in the bath nearly

three years ago after suffering an epileptic

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

than 20 years ago. The men were killed at a pub

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

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

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

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

football take centre stage in a country that's still trying

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.

: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.

Our editors have been answering your questions throughout the day.

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.
