Bomb blasts in the Syrian cities of Homs | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
and Damascus leave more than 100 people dead. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
London mayor Boris Johnson announces he will back the campaign | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
for Britain to LEAVE the European Union - | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
pitting him against the Prime Minister David Cameron. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
I will be advocating vote leave or whatever the team is called, I | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
understand there are many of them. And that is basically - because I | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
want a better deal for the people of this country. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
A big win for US Republican Presidential frontrunner | :00:46. | :01:05. | |
Donald Trump as he secures antoher victory in the South | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
And meet the cat who lost his Syrian family, only to be reunited | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
The Syrian capital, Damacus, has been hit by a series | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
The attacks came just hours after 46 people were killed in a double bomb | :01:15. | :01:29. | |
A large number of people are said to have been woundedThe target | :01:30. | :01:40. | |
The violence comes day afrs is ceasefire was supposed to have come | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
into effect. Two bombs have exploded | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
and gradually the scale of the destruction | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
is becoming clear. For some, it's hard | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
to believe they've survived. Homs is a city that has seen much | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
violence over the past five years but even by its standards, | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
this was a huge attack, carried out in the suburb | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
that is a bastion of support The Islamic State group says | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
it was behind the bombings. There is now, though, | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
at least some hope that some of the fighting in | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Syria might be halted. The US Secretary of State, | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
John Kerry, was speaking in Jordan. We have reached a provisional | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
agreement, in principle, on the terms of a cessation | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
of hostilities that could begin It is not yet done, and I anticipate | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
that our presidents, President Obama and President Putin, | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
may well speak somewhere in the next days or so, in order to | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
try to complete this task. People all across Syria | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
will desperately hope that a ceasefire will be worked out | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
but they may well wonder if agreements reached on paper can | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
be turned into reality Whether deals done by diplomats | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
in far away capitals really can silence the guns on Syria's | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
many battlefields. Meanwhile, President Assad has said | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
he is ready for a ceasefire, but only if the "terrorists" - | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
as he called them - Speaking in an interview | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
with a Spanish paper, he added that Syrian refugees | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
would be welcomed back and shouldn't Of course they can come. I mean this | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
is their right to come back, unless somebody who is a terrorist or a | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
killer. And some of them - and I think a good number of them, is a | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
government supporter, who didn't leave because they were afraid of | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
the government, but as I said, because of the standard of living | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
that has been deteriorating drastically during the last few | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
years. So, of course they can come back without any action taken by the | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
government against them. We want people to come back to Syria. | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson has finally announced | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
he will back the campaign for the UK to leave the European Union. | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
His decision is a major blow to Prime Minister David Cameron | :04:23. | :04:32. | |
who has been urging members of his party to back | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
Britain's continued membership in a referendum in June. | :04:36. | :04:36. | |
The BBC's political editor Laura Kunnesberg has more. | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
Breaking the habit of a lifetime, he has for days kept his | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Now one of the few politicians in the country known | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
by only his first name, Boris has made a big decision. | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
He'll argue against his friend and rival, and it could set | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
I have a chance actually to do something. | :04:52. | :05:04. | |
I would like to see a new relationship based more | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
But, as I say, much less of this supranational element. | :05:10. | :05:19. | |
That is why I've decided after huge amount of heartache | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
because I did not want to do anything... | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
The last thing I wanted was to go against David Cameron | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
But after a great deal of heartache I don't think there's anything else | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Boris, if that is what you have thought all along, why have | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
you kept your party waiting for such a long time? | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Because the truth is that it has been agonisingly difficult. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
And I think for many of us, what I said over a couple of years | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
now is, I would like to be in a reformed EU. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
An EU that is based more on free trade, fundamental treaty change. | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
Anyone would think he might seek attention. | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
Love him or loathe him, you cannot ignore him. | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
Boris Johnson has just taken a huge political jump that | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
It has been more and more likely in recent days that the Mayor | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
of London would take the plunge. | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
A dream for those campaigning to leave, a character | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
who could make the difference. | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
Despite this last minute, rather frank appeal from the Prime Minister | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
I will say to Boris what I say to everyone else, | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
which is that we will be safer, stronger, better off inside the EU. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
I think the prospect of linking arms with Nigel Farage | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
and George Galloway and taking a leap into the dark is the wrong | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
care about being able to get things done in our world, | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
then the EU is one of the ways in which we get them done. | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
But today has been show time for Tory ministers who disagree | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
European Union, I've said this many times and been quoted, | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
they spend money that comes from British taxpayers. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Even if relatively polite, the clash of principles is profound. | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
And Iain Duncan Smith in what he said was his first | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
interview on Europe in a decade, believes the Prime Minister | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
Clearly a big moment for many people who have never had a say | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
on whether they want to stay in the European Union, | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
it's only in the UK that we play this silly game of pretending | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
It is a political union that has some market elements attached, | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
The Prime Minister said details on the benefit plans need to be | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
worked out, if this emergency brake on limits and child benefit go | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
forward, much of it would have to be worked out with your department. | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
The Prime Minister has secured a deal, a deal very much | :07:52. | :08:02. | |
in principle because a lot of the detail won't be thrashed out | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
until after the UK decides to stay or leave. | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
The big issue is not really around welfare, | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
where they spent ages planning and plotting, | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
so who is to say it's not beyond the wit of man that those | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
might already be thinking about that. | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
So staying in the EU, in your view, makes us more vulnerable | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
The present status of the open borders we have now, | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
many of us feel it leaves that door open. | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
Would you have the power to insist that European countries share | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
with us their border information so we know what terrorists | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
You have an illusion of sovereignty, you wouldn't | :08:41. | :08:51. | |
In a way it is quite simple, you boil it down to, | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
if you love this country, and I love this country so much, | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
you want what's best for it and I want to make sure | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
The campaigns are sketched out now in primary colours | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
with personalities as well as policies mattering. | :09:08. | :09:08. | |
But only the end result will tell us if all this attention was really | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Well our political correspondent Alex Forsythe is in Westminster. | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
Perhaps this decision by Boris Johnson isn't exactly a surprise but | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
explain why it is so significant? No, it is not a huge surprise. There | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
has been much speculation in recent days about which way he would go. We | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
thought likely that he would join the leave campaign. The reason this | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
really matters is because Boris Johnson in the UK is a big figure. | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
He is one of those rare politicians that cut through beyond Westminster | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
and reaches out to the voters. Whether that's a good or bad thing. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
That's what he does. So those who are wanting the UK to leave the | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
European Union are thrilled he is on board because he will inject some | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
energy, some enthusiasm, a bit of charisma into the campaign. And it | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
is disappointing to David Cameron because he had hoped to persuade | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
Boris Johnson to back him on the side of the UK remaining in the EU. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
There was a meeting in Downing Street about it last week. Even this | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
morning, the Prime Minister was issuing messages to Boris Johnson | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
saying we are stronger within the European Union, back us. So, it is a | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
bit of a blow to the Prime Minister and a bit of a boost to the "leave" | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
campaign because he is such a familiar character. We saw in | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
Laura's piece, politicians really talking with their hearts. This | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
issue is absolutely fundamental to some, isn't it? It is and | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
particularly within the Conservative Party, this is an issue which really | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
dominated much of the debate there for many years. The party has | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
traditionally been quite with divided on Europe and we are seeing | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
that now coming to play again. There are six Cabinet ministers who said | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
that they'll campaign to leave the European Union, which is in direct | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
contradiction to the official Government stance and the stance of | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
the Prime Minister. So you are seeing people who are sat around the | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
same kab knelt table taking different sides in this argument | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
which is why it is such a profound moment politically and the big | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
challenge for the Conservative Party here is how they can unite once this | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
debate is finished after the referendum. At the moment they are | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
being polite, considerate and respectful and they want to keep the | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
tone of the debate like that but that will be tested as this campaign | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
gets more and more intense. Four months to go, quite a long time in | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
the world of politics. This campaign could get ugly, couldn't it? Well, | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
we are only two days in, really, since the Prime Minister was in | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Brussels and negotiated that final deal. It was only yesterday when he | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
finally announced the date of this referendum, June 23rd and as you say | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
there are still four months to go but already today, on the first full | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
day of campaigning, we are seeing key figures lining up to make | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
arguments against each other and a few earlier on today did become | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
quite personal. There was one Alan Johnson, the Labour lead for the | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Labour "in" campaign, who was saying that some of those in the Cabinet | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
who were backing out weren't really superstar quality. So, yes, it is | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
likely that it will become intense. On all sides they'll want to keep | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
the debate about policy, not personality. They'll want to focus | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
on the big issues and be seen to run positive campaigns but on something | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
of such importance that people really do care about at Westminster, | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
A Hindu priest has been hacked for you: | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
At least two other people who tried to help him were injured. | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
Police say three attackers fired shots at a monastery run | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
The so-called Islamic State group say they carried out the attack. | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
In India, protestors from a caste group in Haryana state | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
have partially lifted their blockade of highways. | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
It's after the state government agreed to table a bill that | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
would grant them the quotas they've been demanding. | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
12 people have died in three days of violent riots. | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
It's severely affected water supplies to neighbouring Delhi, | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
as water treatment plants have been damaged and a canal blocked. | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
Australia has announced that a baby born to asylum seekers - | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
who was being treated for burns in a Brisbane hospital - | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
will be allowed to remain in the country. | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
Protesters have been blockading the hospital to prevent the child | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
The immigration minister said the child and her mother would now | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
be released into community detention in Australia. | :13:24. | :13:59. | |
The former Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, has pulled out | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
of the Republican presidential race, after another win | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
for Donald Trump, in the South Carolina primary. | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
Once regarded as the Republican favourite, Mr Bush finished fourth. | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton won in Nevada, overcoming a strong | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
The former Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, has pulled out | :14:11. | :14:21. | |
First, the uneasy anticipation at Trump HQ. | :14:22. | :14:22. | |
There is nothing easy about running for president. | :14:23. | :14:32. | |
It's tough, it's nasty, it's mean, it's vicious, it's beautiful. | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
We're gonna do the wall, and by the way, | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
who's gonna pay for the wall? | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
Donald Trump has won South Carolina, following on from his victory | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
He is clearly established as the frontrunner now. | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
The question is, how many other Republican candidates have the money | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
The person who had the biggest war chest and family connections | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
last night bowed to the inevitable | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
But the people of Iowa and New Hampshire have spoken, | :14:58. | :15:24. | |
So tonight, I am suspending my campaign. | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
Jeb Bush was crushed by Trump in the debates. | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
And on the stump, he didn't seem one of life's natural campaigners. | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
...to get back in the business of creating a more peaceful world. | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
In the Democratic race in Nevada, Hillary Clinton scored | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
an important win over her socialist rival Bernie Sanders. | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
After emphatic defeat in New Hampshire, her victory speech | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
I am so, so thrilled and so grateful to all of my supporters out there. | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
Some may have doubted us, but we never doubted each other. | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
Hillary Clinton has renewed momentum, | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
but Bernie Sanders has money and support, and in this race, | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
on both Democrat and Republican sides, | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
Stay with us. Still to come: We'll look at all the main sport, | :16:05. | :16:20. | |
including the latest football action. Force | :16:21. | :16:31. | |
And up to 20,000 residents have been left | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
without water after a large underground pipe collapsed near | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
The water main burst in the village of Epperstone. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
A car drove into the flooded hole but the driver was unhurt. | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
Severn Trent Water have apologised for the disruption and said repairs | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
Two boys aged two and three have died in a house fire in Huddersfield | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
Firefighters were called to the property in the Fartown area | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
The boys, believed to be brothers, were rescued from a bedroom | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
inside the home, but later died in hospital. | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
Investigations are under way into the cause of the blaze but it's | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
One of Britain's most famous pilots, captain Eric "Winkle" Brown, | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
He was the Royal Navy's most decorated | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
pilot and held three Guiness World records. | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
Including landing more planes on an aircraft carrier - | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has announced that he will campaign | :17:22. | :17:38. | |
for Britain to leave the European Union. | :17:39. | :17:47. | |
Police in the US state of Michigan say a gunman has killed at least six | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
A suspect has been arrested he drove around the town | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
of Kalamazoo targeting people late on Saturday night. | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
It was, said police, their worst nightmare. | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
apparently shooting people at random. | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
For several hours, the city of Kalamazoo was locked down | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
as officers tried to find and stop the killer. | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
We had several shootings here tonight in the city of Kalamazoo. | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
They all appear to be related. We have multiple people dead. | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
In summary, it looks like we have somebody just driving around, | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
finding people and shooting them dead in their tracks. | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
It started in the early evening, when a woman was shot multiple times | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
outside an apartment complex and seriously wounded. | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
For six hours, the shootings continued. | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
Two men were shot dead outside a car dealership. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
Four women were killed in the car park of a Cracker Barrel restaurant. | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
Police say a 14-year-old girl is seriously injured. | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
In the early hours of today, it was brought to an end. | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
45-year-old Jason Dalton of Kalamazoo County was arrested. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
He didn't resist and police didn't fire their weapons. | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
Kalamazoo's police chief described the attacks | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
as senseless, random acts of violence. | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
