Tonight at Ten, Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
says Britain should vote to leave the European Union, | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
He calls the EU undemocratic, but says his decision to join | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
the out campaign came with a huge amount of heartache. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
I want a better deal for the people of this country - | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
to save them money and take back control. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
The move is seen as a severe blow to the Prime Minister, | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
who'd earlier issued a plea to the Mayor. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Linking arms with Nigel Farage and George Galloway and leaping | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
into the dark is the wrong thing to do for our country. | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
So, just how could Boris Johnson's decision influence | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
Donald Trump secures another victory in the Republican Presidential race, | :00:52. | :01:00. | |
while Jeb Bush decides to end his campaign. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Doctors in Venezuela accuse the government of hiding the extent | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
of the Zika crisis, in a country with a health service already | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
because they can't get access to basic drugs. | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
And the Royal Navy's most decorated pilot, | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown, has died at the age of 97. | :01:21. | :01:44. | |
After days of speculation, the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
has announced he'll back the campaign for the UK | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
He said the decision came with a huge amount of heartache, | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
and the last thing he wanted, was to go against the Government. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
His decision is a huge boost to the out campaign, | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
and a major blow to the Prime Minister, who maintained again | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
today, that leaving the EU would be a leap in the dark. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
This report from our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
He makes a good bird, you might say he likes to make an entrance. I can | :02:11. | :02:32. | |
see you're all in a great mass here and I apologise... Finally fessing | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
up to the waiting crowd he will campaign against his friend and | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
rival to leave. We have a chance to do something, I have a chance to do | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
something, I would like to see a new relationship based more on trade, on | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
cooperation, but as I said, with much less of this supranational | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
element, that is where I am coming from and why I have decided after | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
huge amount of heartache, because I did not want to do anything, the | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
last thing I wanted was to go against David Cameron or the | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
government. But after a great deal of heartache I don't think there was | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
anything else I could do. If that is what you have thought all along why | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
have you kept your party waiting for such a long time? Because the truth | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
is it has been agonisingly difficult. And I think for many of | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
us, what I said over many years, a couple of years now, is I would like | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
to be in a reformed EU, and that is Michael. One based more on free | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
trade and fundamental treaty change. -- and one that is far more based on | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Fiji. Cannot ignore him, he has taken a huge political jump that | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
could change this campaign. It is a dream for those campaigning to | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
leave. Not so much for his friend and rival in number ten. Mr Johnson | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
text is -- Centre takes to David Cameron 12 minutes he and instead. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
The primers don't know it was probably coming but don't make this | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
appeal on television. I would say to Boris what I say to everyone else | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
that we will be safer and stronger and better off inside the EU. I | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
think the prospect of linking arms with Nigel far as shown George | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Galloway and taking a leap into the DAC is a wrong step for the country. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
-- Nigel Farage. If Boris and others came about -- kilobyte getting | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
things done, the EU is one of the ways. Today has been short time for | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Conservative ministers who disagree with each other. The European Union, | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
and I have said this many times, they spend money that comes from | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
British taxpayers. I want what is best for Britain. Even if it is | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
relatively polite the clash of principles is profound but Iain | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Duncan Smith, campaigning for out, believes the primers that is just | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
plain wrong. It is clearly a big moment for many people who have | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
never had a say on whether they want to stay within the European Union, | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
and only in the UK will be played this game pretending it is something | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
else, it is a political union that has some market elements attached, | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
the big issue is about control of borders within the European Union to | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
those who are citizens of various countries in the European Union, and | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
those borders are absolutely wide-open and cause problems. We saw | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
what happened in Paris, we'll be spent it is planning and plotting. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
This those made already be thinking about... So staying in the EU makes | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
us more honourable to Paris style attacks? I think the present status | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
of the open border we have right now, many of us feel does actually | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
leave the door open. When you hear the Prime Minister and people who | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
want to stay in saying the most if -- saying they are more safe staying | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
in the European Union, but you see we are not, how is it possible for | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
the Conservative Party to stay together over these issues that are | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
so fundamental? They are strong opinions and views and we need to do | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
something to change these elements that exist at the moment and I | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
simply say that for those of us who want to leave we believe | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
fundamentally that a new relationship with the European Union | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
would allow us to control or own borders. Those arguments on Security | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
and sovereignty will be hotly disputed. Outlook at this. Campaigns | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
are sketched out by big personalities. Only the end result | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
will see whether the attention he attracts was really worth the wait. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Laura's in Downing Street for us now. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
One of the most recognisable faces in British politics, how influential | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
could one is Johnson's views be? The answers in your question, he is one | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
of the most recognisable faces in British politics. Frustration in | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Downing Street, not just what he has said, but taking so long to make it | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
clear. And suspicion across the whole political spectrum, amongst | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
the Tories and the Labour Party, but this is part of his ambition to be | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
in charge here, rather than political conviction. And Lord | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
Heseltine also said he liked Boris Johnson, but that he would like | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
David Cameron. He goes on to say his arguments do not add up. Many people | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
might argue what is the fuss? He is only one politician. But until today | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
be out campaign did not have a charismatic leader. Tonight they | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
have somebody with more panache. Probably also a good dose more | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
pantomime, someone who could indeed it really energised this campaign, | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
who could make it more playful and the referendum campaign is not a | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
political game. The questions facing us all a much more important than | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
any single location but when it comes down to it, this might be | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
close, so anything that could make at Fred of difference is significant | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
in itself. -- that could make any difference. Thank you. | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Well, the Prime Minister firmly believes the deal brokered | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
with the EU will help convince voters he's right | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
The agreement promises benefits for EU migrant workers can be | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
limited for the first four years, and that child benefit payments | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
The UK will be excused from a commitment to what Brussels | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
And countries that don't use the euro will be able force debate | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
through a safeguard mechanism on proposals they don't like. | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
But critics say the deal has fallen short in many areas, | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
with UK sovereignty still undermined by EU membership. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
Our Special Correspondent Lucy Manning has been to Leeds | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
to gauge opinion on how the deal has been received. | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
Her report does contain flashing images. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
The argument about Britain and the EU has gone round and round, | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
but now everyone will get a vote to decide. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
So will they follow the Prime Minister or vote to leave? | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
We're such a little country by ourselves, I think it's safer | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
Have you been persuaded by the deal the Prime Minister has done? | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
I'd already thought that I would vote to stay anyway. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
To be honest, I don't really see any point of the deal. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
There's lots for and lots against, really. | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Personally, I think we should leave it, become Great Britain again | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
If Boris Johnson goes for the out campaign, | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
I think Boris is a very interesting character, | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
but he wouldn't persuade me either way. | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
Last year, 6,000 people came from the European Union | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
So will the Prime Minister's new deal to restrict the benefits | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
and child benefits that those coming from abroad can claim make any | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
difference to those who want to come to work here? | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
Leeds' Polish community gathered after church. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
Have they had too big a portion of the benefits | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
Jimmy and Joanna have been here for ten years. | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
The Poles do not here to come claim benefits, | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
If someone is looking for benefits, they would go to other countries. | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
Dominic sends his child benefit back to Poland, | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
and thinks reducing it will be unfair, but he does back the plans | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
I think the idea of Prime Minister David Cameron of increasing | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
the period after which people will be entitled to four years, | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
I think this is a good idea, because this may stop people | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
who are purely coming to this country to claim benefits. | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
But for some Poles who came in, they now support out. | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
And with his newly-acquired British citizenship, | :11:00. | :11:00. | |
I think it is going to be better for the UK just to leave Europe. | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
I think it is about time, basically, this is my opinion. | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Even if it means that fewer Polish people can come to travel | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
to the UK to work? Absolutely. | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
I think we need to have some kind of restrictions, some limitations. | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
The politicians might be making up their minds, but it's | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
The former Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, has pulled out | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
of the Republican presidential race, after another win for Donald Trump | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton won a clear victory in Nevada, | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
overcoming a strong challenge from her rival, Bernie Sanders. | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Our North America Editor Jon Sopel is in Columbia South Carolina | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
history is to be any gaping Donald Trump has every reason to be... | :11:47. | :12:12. | |
Donald Trump has underlined-the doubly strong his position is and | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
also serving to show how difficult it's going to be for his dwindling | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
band of opponents to beat him. First, the uneasy | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
anticipation at Trump HQ. There is nothing easy | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
about running for president. It's tough, it's nasty, it's mean, | :12:27. | :12:40. | |
it's vicious, it's beautiful. We're gonna do the wall, | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
and, by the way, who's gonna pay | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
for the wall? Donald Trump has won South Carolina, | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
following on from his victory He is clearly established | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
as the frontrunner now. The question is, how many other | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
Republican candidates have the money The person who had the biggest | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
war chest and family connections last night bowed | :13:14. | :13:23. | |
to the inevitable But the people of Iowa | :13:24. | :13:24. | |
and New Hampshire have spoken, So tonight, I am | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
suspending my campaign. Jeb Bush was crushed | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
by Trump in the debates. And on the stump, he didn't seem one | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
of life's natural campaigners. ..to get back in the business | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
of creating a more peaceful world. In the Democratic race in Nevada, | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
Hillary Clinton scored an important win over her socialist | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
rival Bernie Sanders. After emphatic defeat | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
in New Hampshire, her victory speech I am so, so thrilled and so grateful | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
to all of my supporters out there. Some may have doubted us, | :14:10. | :14:21. | |
but we never doubted each other. Hillary Clinton has | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
renewed momentum, but Bernie Sanders has money | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
and support, and in this race, on both Democrat | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
and Republican sides, The Syrian city of Homs | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
and the country's capital Damascus have been hit by a wave of deadly | :14:34. | :14:45. | |
bombings, leaving more than 130 Human rights observers say dozens | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
died in twin bomb blasts in the central Zahra district | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
of Homs, a bastion of support for President Bashar al Assad, | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
while Syrian state media says more than 80 people died in four | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
explosions close to Our Middle East Correspondent Jim | :15:03. | :15:04. | |
Muir is in Beirut for us tonight. It is the so-called Islamic State | :15:05. | :15:16. | |
claiming responsibility for these attacks? That's right and really | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
deadly horrible, really I be discarded -- outrageous carnage, | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
especially in Damascus with Betty big car bomb and then two suicide | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
bombers blew themselves up amongst the rescuers. This was near a very | :15:33. | :15:43. | |
important Shia shrine. I would IS, so-called Islamic State, do it when | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
there are very intense international peace moves underway? Well, IS had | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
no interest in peace moves except if it was a victim of those peace | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
moves. It knows it will be the victim because Americans and their | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Western allies basically want to get all the other parties, the Russians, | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
the Syrian regime themselves, their own rebel clients as it were, to get | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
them all against IS on the ground. That is why I think IS is carrying | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
out those attacks. Thank you for that. | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
Police in the American state of Michigan have arrested a man, | :16:21. | :16:23. | |

As our correspondent Wyre Davies reports from the capital Caracas, | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
in a country with an already under-resourced health system, | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
many believe the government is deliberately hiding | :17:27. | :17:27. | |
At the University Hospital in Caracas, a group of concerned | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
junior doctors takes us to see something the Venezuelan government | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
is either deliberately ignoring or hiding. | :17:41. | :17:42. | |

that the government appears to be grossly under reporting | :18:13. | :18:14. | |

We know this because of the number of patients we are seeing | :18:26. | :18:36. | |
with tell-tale symptoms and those who go on to develop Guillain-Barre. | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
Venezuela is of course not the only country in the region trying to cope | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
with the Zika outbreak, but the crisis here is exacerbated | :18:45. | :18:46. | |

Medicines his family will have to pay for. | :19:07. | :19:08. | |

And especially patients with heart disease. | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
The Health Ministry didn't respond to repeated requests | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
But with hospitals delaying operations because they lack basic | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
equipment, its patients who continue to suffer. | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
In cricket, England's women won their Twenty 20 decider | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
against South Africa by four wickets. | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
But the men were hammered by nine wickets, as the hosts sealed | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
The South Africans chased down 172, with five overs to spare. | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
It was England's fifth defeat in succession in limited-overs | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
cricket, and comes little more than a fortnight ahead | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
of the Twenty20 World Championships in India. | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
The Royal Navy's most decorated pilot, Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown, | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
He flew more types of aircraft than anyone in history, 487 in all, | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
and held the record for the most landings on an aircraft | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
Nick Higham looks back on the life of the man who's been called | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
December 1945 and Eric Brown becomes the first man to land a jerk on an | :20:53. | :21:06. | |
aircraft carrier, the weather is so bad they tried to cancel the | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
exercise. He didn't get the message. In all, he made more than 2400 | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
carrier landings and aircraft ranging from by plagues -- biplanes | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
to Buccaneers, a record no one has come close to beating. He | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
transferred from the RDF to the fleet Abell arm and survived the | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
sinking of his ship to become a test pilot. A fluent German speaker he | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
helped interrogate high-ranking Nazis like Hermann Goering and | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
translated at some of their trials. And he flew captured German | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
aircraft, like this experimented -- like this experimental rocket | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
fuelled plane. Only one word for it, phenomenal. I felt that I was flying | :21:56. | :22:04. | |
in a tin coffin because your chances of bailing out were virtually nil. | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
Many test pilots died. He survived. It did become an exception. It was | :22:13. | :22:25. | |
something I felt I had to do, otherwise my soul, if you like, | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
would never be at peace. He was a driven man who simply had to fly. | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown, who has died at the age of 97. | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
