:00:00. > :00:00.The United Kingdom will be permanently poorer -

:00:07. > :00:10.says the Chancellor - if voters decide to leave the EU.

:00:11. > :00:12.George Osborne says wages would be lower, prices higher

:00:13. > :00:21.There is a price to be paid if we leave.

:00:22. > :00:27.A ?4300 price that families will pay year after year.

:00:28. > :00:32.But tonight, Leave campaigners have dismissed the Treasury's analysis

:00:33. > :00:42.We are a huge market for German cars, dairy products and even French

:00:43. > :00:46.champagne and I hope we are going to be drinking a lot more than that --

:00:47. > :00:50.of that after the 23rd We'll be analyzing the Treasury's

:00:51. > :00:52.facts and figures and asking Also tonight - still searching

:00:53. > :00:56.for survivors after Ecuador's worst earthquake in decades -

:00:57. > :00:58.as the death toll The mother and daughter found

:00:59. > :01:01.dead in their home - two children have appeared in court

:01:02. > :01:04.charged with their murder. Trying to bring

:01:05. > :01:12.stability to war-torn Libya - Britain pledges ?10 million to help

:01:13. > :01:15.the new UN-backed government. And in the week the Queen turns 90

:01:16. > :01:18.a look back at the reign of Britain's

:01:19. > :01:19.longest-serving monarch. And coming up in Sportsday on BBC

:01:20. > :01:22.News, we'll see if Spurs can close the gap on Premier League leaders

:01:23. > :01:50.Leicester City. That's the equivalent - it claims -

:01:51. > :02:15.of ?4,300 a year, per household. And the Treasury says you'd need

:02:16. > :02:18.to increase the basic rate of income tax by 8p to cover the shortfall

:02:19. > :02:24.in public finances. calling it "deeply flawed",

:02:25. > :02:26."absurd" and "useless". Here's our political

:02:27. > :02:41.editor Laura Kuenssberg. This product is exported all over

:02:42. > :02:45.Europe. Their work, the country's wealth, maybe his job too, are they

:02:46. > :02:48.all on the line if we vote to leave the European Union?

:02:49. > :02:52.all on the line if we vote to leave brought three Cabinet colleagues

:02:53. > :02:58.along to make a big claim this morning. We would be worse off

:02:59. > :02:59.along to make a big claim this ever if we choose to leave. Britain

:03:00. > :03:04.would be permanently ever if we choose to leave. Britain

:03:05. > :03:08.left the European Union. Under any alternative we would trade less, do

:03:09. > :03:12.less business, there would be less investment. And the price would be

:03:13. > :03:15.paid by British families, wages would be lower, prices would be

:03:16. > :03:22.higher, and that means that Britain would be poorer by ?4300 per

:03:23. > :03:28.household. That is ?4300 worse off every year, a bill paid year after

:03:29. > :03:32.year by the working people of Britain. What he means, if we leave

:03:33. > :03:37.the economy could be 6% smaller than if we stay. That's the same amount

:03:38. > :03:41.of cash as if each household was more than ?4000 poorer. And the loss

:03:42. > :03:47.of trade could mean big spending cuts or tax rises too. But how can

:03:48. > :03:50.he be so sure? In the past Treasury forecasts have

:03:51. > :03:53.proven about as reliable as licking your finger and sticking it in the

:03:54. > :03:57.air to tell you what is going on with the weather. Can you admit at

:03:58. > :04:01.their very best this is an educated guess?

:04:02. > :04:05.Our analysis has been supported by a host of very credible independent

:04:06. > :04:10.organisations. Let's hear from the other side what their plan is, where

:04:11. > :04:14.is their analysis? Where is their assessment of the costs and benefits

:04:15. > :04:19.of leaving the European Union? I don't hear anything from them. Thank

:04:20. > :04:23.you. The political aim is clear, crush the other side's case with

:04:24. > :04:27.heavy economic evidence, whether it is project fear or a reality check.

:04:28. > :04:30.There are many moving parts in these arguments and there will always be

:04:31. > :04:36.quibbling over the numbers, but this is one of the biggest moves from the

:04:37. > :04:39.In Campaign. An Official Warning From The Government Department That

:04:40. > :04:43.If We Vote To Leave We Would Be Worse Off For Ever And Ministers

:04:44. > :04:48.Believe It Is One Of Their Most Powerful Tools To Persuade Undecided

:04:49. > :04:52.Voters To Choose To Stay. Do The Warnings Change Anyone's Mind? In

:04:53. > :04:57.The Business Canteen Colleagues Richard And Nicky Agreed That Their

:04:58. > :05:03.Families Don't. I Don't Think We Will Be Poorer, I Think We Will

:05:04. > :05:06.Still Survive As A Country. I'm living in a divided household, and

:05:07. > :05:10.I'm with Richard because I very much want written to have its

:05:11. > :05:13.independence again, we were self-sufficient only a few years

:05:14. > :05:17.ago, my husband is a net importer, he works in the music industry and

:05:18. > :05:22.he will vote to stay. Richard Hawkins is sure he wants to leave,

:05:23. > :05:26.Wendy is not so sure. I think we've lost some of our sort of identity

:05:27. > :05:29.and I'd like to get that back. The Chancellor is making a big statement

:05:30. > :05:36.today about the economic risk but do you believe him? No. But tonight

:05:37. > :05:41.something you thought you might never see or hear, a Conservative

:05:42. > :05:46.Cabinet minister making nice with Nigel Farage. Both dismissing the

:05:47. > :05:49.government's one in zombie economy and both committed to make the

:05:50. > :05:54.referendum a real fight. Saying to them you can't sell your

:05:55. > :05:57.cheese in Britain anymore, it's not going to happen. The German

:05:58. > :06:01.car-makers in Bavaria selling their cars, selling their BW is in

:06:02. > :06:05.Britain, does anybody seriously think the German government is going

:06:06. > :06:09.to say to them, you cannot sell your cars in Britain anymore, it is a

:06:10. > :06:13.nonsense, we are a huge market for German cars, French dairy products

:06:14. > :06:17.and even French champagne and I hope we will drink a lot more of that

:06:18. > :06:22.after the 23rd of June as we celebrate. Unusual times turn rivals

:06:23. > :06:26.into friends. The oddments turning ?2 and pence. With both camps trying

:06:27. > :06:30.to convince you that they have right on their side.

:06:31. > :06:34.So do the claims laid out in the Treasury document stand up?

:06:35. > :06:36.Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed has been examining the

:06:37. > :06:44.ARCHIVE FOOTAGE: It's a flying car. It has a 50 horsepower motor.

:06:45. > :06:47.Predicting the future is not always easy.

:06:48. > :06:51.Floating cars didn't quite make it, but today the Treasury made a more

:06:52. > :06:53.serious analysis about what it saw as the economic costs of leaving

:06:54. > :07:01.Billions of pounds in extra taxes and in a small economy.

:07:02. > :07:05.The Treasury said its analysis was cautious.

:07:06. > :07:07.Estimating what is going to happen in the future is very difficult

:07:08. > :07:10.but the way think of this and all of these estimates is that

:07:11. > :07:13.whatever happens in the future, whether things are better or worse,

:07:14. > :07:17.if we leave the EU we will be poorer than we otherwise would have been.

:07:18. > :07:21.The big claim, that leaving the EU will cost every family ?4300.

:07:22. > :07:29.Dividing the national economic impact of billions of pounds worth

:07:30. > :07:32.of losses the Treasury claims by the UK's 26.7 billion households.

:07:33. > :07:35.It does not mean any families actually paying out a cheque

:07:36. > :07:41.The Treasury document looks at three scenarios if the UK leaves the EU.

:07:42. > :07:46.The first, Britain makes a Norway-style deal,

:07:47. > :07:48.gaining access to the single market and paying a contribution

:07:49. > :07:52.The Treasury says this would be the least bad option,

:07:53. > :08:02.The second scenario, the Canada option, is a free-trade deal

:08:03. > :08:11.That could lead to an economy 6.2% smaller according to the Treasury.

:08:12. > :08:14.The final option is a deal under the World Trade Organisation's

:08:15. > :08:15.free-trade rules, similar to Brazil or Russia.

:08:16. > :08:17.That could lead to an economy 7.5% smaller.

:08:18. > :08:22.The question is, why would the economy suffer?

:08:23. > :08:27.The report says leaving would increase trade barriers making

:08:28. > :08:30.the UK's products harder to sell in the EU, our largest market.

:08:31. > :08:33.It also claims it would lead to low investment as businesses relocate

:08:34. > :08:37.to the rest of the EU to take advantage of the single market.

:08:38. > :08:40.And a small economy means lower tax income for the Government.

:08:41. > :08:53.Reports suggest ?36 billion a year less tax.

:08:54. > :08:56.And to fill that financial hole the Government says it could mean

:08:57. > :08:59.This long-term forecast is just that, a forecast.

:09:00. > :09:02.And by 2030 a lot of things might change for the better,

:09:03. > :09:12.A lower value of the pound could boost exports and the EU

:09:13. > :09:15.could want a good trade deal with the UK, the world's

:09:16. > :09:20.And, in any case, the EU already has its own trade barriers.

:09:21. > :09:24.The main problem for us being in the EU is it stops us being

:09:25. > :09:30.We have to have the EU's tariff wall, tax wall,

:09:31. > :09:33.against producers in the rest of the world, which raises the cost

:09:34. > :09:49.The report is full of equations about how the economy

:09:50. > :09:51.would be affected if the UK left the EU.

:09:52. > :09:55.They only need one of those equations to be wrong for a very

:09:56. > :10:00.The interests of farmers are best served by remaining in the EU -

:10:01. > :10:02.that's the conclusion from the National Farmers Union

:10:03. > :10:05.Farmers have, historically, received huge benefits from Brussels -

:10:06. > :10:07.but not all are keen on staying in the EU.

:10:08. > :10:09.Our environment correspondent Claire Marshall reports.

:10:10. > :10:14.The animals reared, the crops planted and the subsidy cheques paid

:10:15. > :10:16.to farmers are all influenced by rules that have their

:10:17. > :10:26.But should this European landscape stay the same?

:10:27. > :10:28.Hours of heated debate today among Council members

:10:29. > :10:39.An overwhelming majority are in favour of staying in the EU.

:10:40. > :10:43.We can have market access, labour availability

:10:44. > :10:48.and we want to operate on a level playing field

:10:49. > :10:51.Because that evidence highlights that at the moment it's better

:10:52. > :10:55.Here in Northern Ireland, reliance on EU farm subsidies

:10:56. > :10:57.is four times higher than in England.

:10:58. > :11:02.William Taylor is a livestock farmer in Coleraine.

:11:03. > :11:06.He believes that the EU is the only way that farmers will ever be able

:11:07. > :11:08.to get a better price from supermarkets for their produce.

:11:09. > :11:12.At the minute, we have found a way forward in which farmers can get

:11:13. > :11:15.properly rewarded for their work, and that involves legislation

:11:16. > :11:24.So in effect, for us to stay in Europe is the difference

:11:25. > :11:30.between our farm being able to survive and not being

:11:31. > :11:33.The Ulster Farmers Union says it will not take a position.

:11:34. > :11:38.NFU Scotland has declared in favour of Remain.

:11:39. > :11:40.And today NFU Wales confirmed its pro European stance.

:11:41. > :11:43.So let's have a look at some of the figures about this.

:11:44. > :11:48.Some 40% of the EU's budget goes on supporting farmers.

:11:49. > :11:53.In many cases, this can make up half of a farm's income.

:11:54. > :11:58.If we look at exports from the food and agricultural processing

:11:59. > :12:03.Farming and agriculture are a core part of the European project.

:12:04. > :12:05.Farmers who back leaving the EU say they're being overwhelmed

:12:06. > :12:09.They expect the Government to support them in place of subsidies.

:12:10. > :12:17.Colin Rayner farms 2,500 acres beneath the Heathrow flight path.

:12:18. > :12:19.Each year, we lose a bit more of our sovereignty.

:12:20. > :12:22.We don't seem to have any control over what is happening on our farms.

:12:23. > :12:26.I want people managing my farms to be in London, not in Brussels.

:12:27. > :12:29.The NFU Council has given its opinion.

:12:30. > :12:32.It's now up to farmers to decide where their future will flourish.

:12:33. > :12:38.Claire Marshall, BBC News, in Warwickshire.

:12:39. > :12:41.Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, is at Westminster.

:12:42. > :12:43.Will those campaigning to stay in the EU feel

:12:44. > :12:55.I think they are feeling pretty punchy tonight, one Government

:12:56. > :13:00.source told me they believe they have their outers on the ropes.

:13:01. > :13:03.Government official machine has unleashed is full forces today

:13:04. > :13:07.making serious warnings about what might happen to the economy if we

:13:08. > :13:11.vote to leave will stop that is not as because they believe, they've got

:13:12. > :13:15.the economic arguments on their side, it's also because that's the

:13:16. > :13:19.absolute core of the argument that they are trying to make in this

:13:20. > :13:22.campaign. That's their strategy, to plant a seed of doubt in the minds

:13:23. > :13:28.of undecided voters and make them focus on the risks of the risks to

:13:29. > :13:32.their wallet, if we vote as a country to leave. Now, within the

:13:33. > :13:35.campaign there are some Conservative ministers and the First Minister of

:13:36. > :13:42.Scotland Nicola Sturgeon expressing privately and publicly on her side a

:13:43. > :13:45.bit of unease about all this negativity, suggestions this isn't

:13:46. > :13:51.the kind of positive argument they would like to see but perhaps what

:13:52. > :13:55.matters right now is not necessarily whether it's too negative, but

:13:56. > :13:58.whether it will be effective. And remember, in the Scottish referendum

:13:59. > :14:04.those who were making the arguments about economic warnings would decide

:14:05. > :14:07.who ultimately won. Of course, it is early in this campaign, those who

:14:08. > :14:11.want us to leave will argue passionately and repeatedly that we

:14:12. > :14:16.could be more prosperous if we leave. But right now, as each day it

:14:17. > :14:20.seems the Government adds more and more establishment voices to their

:14:21. > :14:24.side, the Outers are starting to look like rebels with a cause,

:14:25. > :14:27.without many heavyweight friends. Laura Kuenssberg, thank you.

:14:28. > :14:30.And the BBC's Reality Check team has been going through the claims

:14:31. > :14:33.in today's document in more detail on our Reality Check pages.

:14:34. > :14:44.The death toll from Saturday's earthquake in Ecuador has risen

:14:45. > :14:47.to 350 with more than 2,000 people injured.

:14:48. > :14:50.The President, Rafael Correa, has visited some of the worst

:14:51. > :14:52.affected areas in the north of the country, and described it

:14:53. > :14:56.Our correspondent, Katy Watson, has travelled to the disaster zone

:14:57. > :15:08.Nearly two days after the earthquake hit, it is a race against time to

:15:09. > :15:15.A rescue worker calls out, if anyone hears me,

:15:16. > :15:30.The town of Pedernales was one of the hardest hit.

:15:31. > :15:32.Many buildings here have been completely flattened, a town reduced

:15:33. > :15:39.TRANSLATION: Actually, it has been horrible, horrible.

:15:40. > :15:43.The only thing I can say is we are alive, we are alive.

:15:44. > :15:51.We are asking passers-by to give us water, so at least we can survive.

:15:52. > :15:53.TRANSLATION: I was about to eat with my kids.

:15:54. > :15:55.We hid under a table and it

:15:56. > :15:58.stopped the rubble from falling on us.

:15:59. > :16:00.I do not know how we did manage to get out.

:16:01. > :16:07.Among the dead, Sister Claire Teresa Crockett,

:16:08. > :16:11.She was killed with five others when a stairwell collapsed in

:16:12. > :16:17.The hope is that some people are still

:16:18. > :16:18.alive under collapsed buildings but the death toll

:16:32. > :16:33.The president said it was the biggest tragedy to hit Ecuador

:16:34. > :16:36.Rescue workers have flown in from Latin

:16:37. > :16:38.America as well as Switzerland and Spain to help.

:16:39. > :16:41.Nearby communities are also doing their bit, here they

:16:42. > :16:43.are sending bananas and water to communities down the road.

:16:44. > :16:45.But help hasn't got to everyone who needs it.

:16:46. > :16:48.The extent of the damage is still unclear and some committees are

:16:57. > :16:59.The explosion took place on board an empty vehicle but wounded people

:19:04. > :19:06.And there are fears so called Islamic State could benefit

:19:07. > :19:08.from the instability and gain ground after establishing a foothold

:19:09. > :19:13.in Colonel Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte.

:20:16. > :20:17.We can always look back with the benefit of hindsight and

:20:18. > :20:20.say we could have done this differently, we could have done

:20:21. > :20:23.If you look at conflicts like this, which have

:20:24. > :20:26.happened historically around the world, there is always

:20:27. > :20:31.a period of confusion after a change of regime.

:20:32. > :20:33.There is always a period of instability.

:20:34. > :20:38.Gradually, from that period, a new order emerges.

:28:29. > :28:31.devoted to service. She was ten when she discovered that

:28:32. > :28:35.one day she would be Queen. Through the Second World War

:28:36. > :28:38.and the years that followed, she watched and learned from her

:28:57. > :29:03.between the qualities required of a monarch

:29:04. > :29:10.and those of a priest. I think when she was, as it were,

:29:11. > :29:13.called to this office when her father died, I think

:29:14. > :29:16.from that sprang her awareness that she had to

:29:17. > :29:20.serve her people, which she said in her opening words,

:29:21. > :29:22."I'm here to serve you," and she's done so, some people

:29:23. > :29:26.say it in a priestly fashion, I would certainly say it springs

:29:27. > :29:29.from her Christian values, her sense of

:29:30. > :29:35.calling for the office. She was there as a

:29:36. > :29:37.golden thread running Now, on the threshold

:29:38. > :29:44.of her 90th birthday, has there been any change in the Queen's

:30:11. > :30:18."Might the Queen retire and hand the throne to Prince Charles?",

:30:19. > :30:21.there is an emphatic answer. She has made it perfectly
