Tonight at Ten - President Obama spells out his reasons | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for wanting Britain to remain in the European Union. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Calling himself a close friend and ally, he insisted that British | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
influence in the world was enhanced by being in the EU. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
If one of our best friends is in an organisation that | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
enhances their influence and enhances their power | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
and enhances their economy, then I want them to stay in it. | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
And he warned that if Britain left, it would face problems | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
negotiating its own trade deal with America. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Our focus is on negotiating with a big bloc of the European union | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Our focus is on negotiating with a big bloc of the European Union | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
to get a trade agreement done, and the UK is going to be | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
As the president spent the day underlining the special | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
relationship, his message on the EU was not universally welcomed. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
It's very odd that the United States, which guards its sovereignty | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
so zealously and so jealously, should be giving us lectures. | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
We'll have details of the president's forthright | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
intervention, and the reaction, and we'll be asking how it might | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
Police investigating the sudden death of the pop star Prince say | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
it is too early to establish the cause - but don't | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
A landmark agreement to slow the pace of climate change has been | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
signed at a ceremony at the UN in New York. | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
And exploring Shakespeare's legacy on the 400th | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News - it's make | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
or break for Leicester City, in their bid for an historic first | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
In a forthright intervention, President Obama has set | :01:59. | :02:23. | |
out his reasons for opposing a British exit | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
He insisted it was in the interests of both the UK and America | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
Time and again, he underlined the economic benefits of membership, | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
as he saw them, and warned that if Britain left, | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
it would be at the "back of the queue" for an independent | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Mr Obama's intervention was dismissed as "perverse" | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
and "hypocritical" by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
This report by our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, does contain | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
Who takes a helicopter to a birthday lunch? The 54-year-old American | :02:51. | :03:09. | |
president and his wife. To meet the 90-year-old British monarch and her | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
husband and sometimes chauffeur. Even they did not seem sure of the | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
etiquette of who gets to sit in the front. But once the niceties were | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
done, the entourage sped from Windsor to Westminster. The pizzazz | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
of the presidency, the power of the office. The megawatt political | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
celebrity of the man himself. It could not be doing and by the | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
Downing Street rain, as Barack Obama arrived to add his pure force to the | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
Prime Minister's biggest ever fight. Even before the president delivered | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
his verdict, David Cameron looked like he could hardly believe his | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
luck - and his friendship. I am honoured to have Barack Obama as a | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
friend. He has taught me the rules of basketball, he has beaten me at | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
table tennis. We were actually partners in that ping-pong game, and | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
we lost to some schoolchildren. Jokes over, Mr Cameron has always | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
said, if you are tempted to leave the EU, don't kid yourself you would | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
be able to trade with the rest of the world. I figured you would want | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
to hear from the President of the United States as to what I thinks | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
the United States might do. On that matter, for example, I think it is | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
fair to say that maybe some point down the line, there might meet a | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
UK-US trade agreement, but it is not going to happen any time soon | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
because our focus is on negotiating with a big block, the European | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Union, to get a trade agreement done. And the UK is going to be at | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
the back of the queue. I am very proud to have had the opportunity to | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
be Prime Minister, and to stand outside the White House, listening | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
to this man, my friend Barack Obama, say that the special relationship | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
between our countries has never been stronger. But I have never felt | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
constrained in any way by the fact that we are in the European Union. | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
The American president warned of the risks of stitching Europe 's fabric. | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
Ultimately this is something the British voters have to decide for | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
themselves. But as part of our special relationship, part of being | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
friends is to be honest. And to let you know what I think. And speaking | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
honestly, the outcome of that decision is a matter of deep | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
interest to the United States, because it affects our prospects as | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
well. In the 21st century, the nations which make their presence | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
felt on the world stage are not the nations that go it alone for those | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
that team up to aggregate their power and multiply their influence. | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Are you also saying that our decades-old special relationship, | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
which has been through so much, would be fundamentally damaged and | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
changed by our exit? And do you have any sympathy with people who think | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
this is none of your business? We are so bound together but nothing is | :06:06. | :06:14. | |
going to impact the emotional and cultural and intellectual affinities | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
between our two countries. One of our best friends is in an | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
organisation which enhances their influence and power and economy, | :06:25. | :06:34. | |
then I want them to stay in it. David Cameron's enemies in the | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
European campaign branded Mr Obama a hypocrite for intervening. Their | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
biggest player, Boris Johnson, even questioned his motives. The American | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
leader removed this bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office. Mr | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Johnson wondered in print whether that was a symbol of the part Kenyan | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
resident's ancestral dislike of the British Empire. That was met by the | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
American president with a silky but deadly slap down. Prime Minister, if | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
I may, some of your colleagues believe it is utterly wrong that you | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
have dragged our closest ally into the EU referendum campaign - is it | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
appropriate for the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, to have brought up | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
President Obama's Kenyan ancestry in the context of this debate? | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Questions for Boris are not questions for me. I love Winston | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
Churchill. I love the guy! Now, when I was elected as President of the | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
United States, my predecessor had kept a Churchill bust in the Oval | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
Office. There are only so many tables where you can put busts, | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
otherwise it starts looking a little cluttered. And I felt it was | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
appropriate, and I suspect that most people here in the United Kingdom | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
might agree, that as the first African-American president, it might | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
be appropriate to have a bust of Dr Martin McShane king in my office. | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
So, what did the Out campaign's biggest character have to say in | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
response? The crucial thing that Winston Churchill stood for, and I | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
think the crucial thing which America stands for, is | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
representative democracy. And the problem with the EU is that nobody | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
knows who is in charge, nobody knows who is making these decisions. And | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
as I say, I think it is very, very weird that the United States should | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
be telling us to do something they would not dream of doing in a | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
million years themselves. The Prime Minister and President Obama do not | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
share the political intimacy of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
nor a, and controversial cause, like George W Bush and Tony Blair. But by | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
speaking so powerfully in favour of Britain staying in the EU, Barack | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
Obama has done David Cameron much more than a favour. He has said that | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
on the EU, he is right and his rivals are wrong. Politics over, it | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
was time for a private dinner at Kensington Palace. Cambridge's | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
probably do not have to worry if the champagne is being put on ice. It is | :09:15. | :09:26. | |
in No 10 that the corks might really pop tonight. Laura Kuenssberg, what | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
kind of impact could this intervention have on the campaign, | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
in your view? If Downing Street had written a script for President | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Obama, I don't think they would have dared write lines which were so firm | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
and clear in his conviction that we would be wrong to leave the European | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
Union. And particularly because jobs and the economy are right at the | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
centre of this debate. His suggestion that we would be sent to | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
the back of the queue if we left, looking for a trade deal, laid down | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
a very big challenge to the Out campaign, who also find themselves | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
real rebuke to one of their biggest real rebuke to one of their biggest | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
political players. President Obama, without even mentioning his name, | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
slamming Boris Johnson's comments. Now, the big question, which we do | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
not know the answer to, and we will not know until the end of June, is, | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
whether or not these kind of interventions will really shift any | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
votes? How many of us come in the privacy of the polling booth, with | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
the pencil hovering over the boxes, we'll really think back to the words | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
of President Obama, and that will be what makes up our mind? And | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
remember, there are another two months to go in this campaign, and | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
20 more noises and debate to come. Jon Sopel, do you think that the | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
president achieved what he set out to achieve today? So much of what we | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
do is to try to decipher and decode what politicians say. What did they | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
really mean? No need with Barack Obama. He could not have been more | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
blunt. There was deliberate calculation from the White House. | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
They thought that it would alienate some people, him being so direct, | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
but he wanted to say what he wanted to say very clearly indeed. That | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
said, I am picking up some unease this evening from senior White House | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
staff about that phrase, the back of queue fills -- the back of the | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
queue. I am told it was not in the script. Americans never say that, | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
they would say, back of the line. But Barack Obama wanted to put down | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
a marker on that. This was not about helping David Cameron. This was | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
about the American political and economic establishment wanting to | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
say that they think it would be ruinous and precarious for Britain | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
to leave the European Union. As for the American people, I suspect they | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
will be much more transfixed on the dinner this evening with the Duke | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
and Duchess of and lunch with the Queen at Windsor, and how on earth | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
the Secret Service allowed a man who is nearly 95 years old to be driving | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
the president up to the castle! A postmortem examination has been | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
carried out to determine what caused the death of the American pop star | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
Prince. He was found dead at his home | :12:22. | :12:22. | |
in Minneapolis yesterday. Local officials have been giving | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
details tonight about the emergency Our correspondent | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
James Cook is in Yes, that news conference was held | :12:29. | :12:45. | |
by the sheriff who is investigating. It finished in the last half an hour | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
or so. It revealed that the postmortem has been completed, the | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
body has been returned to Prince's family. We are told there were no | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
signs of trauma on Prince's body, no signs that he committed suicide. But | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
the sheriff was unwilling to discuss speculation that Prince may have | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
been taking prescription drugs in the days leading up to his death, | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
and that perhaps that might have contributed. It could be some time | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
before we know that. Ray. But this has been another difficult day for | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
Prince's family and his many admirers. | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
Fans have been mourning a lost icon and wondering why this remarkable | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
life was cut short. Today, police gave a little more detail, saying | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
there were no signs of trauma on his body. We have no reason to believe | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
that this point that this was a suicide, but this is early in the | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
investigation and it is continuing to investigate. The focus is his | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
Paisley Park home and studio. It appears the artist was already dead | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
when he was found slumped in a lift yesterday morning. | :13:59. | :14:09. | |
Exactly how Prince died here is still unclear and the county | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
coroner's office has warned it could be several weeks before the results | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
of toxicology tests are known. Meanwhile, he continues to be | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
celebrated in death, as he was in life. On Broadway, Jennifer Hudson | :14:28. | :14:31. | |

# Purple aim, purple Ayn Hend # | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
For his friends, his sudden, still unexplained death, is clearly raw. I | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
think I would probably break down if I do a song right now. But, you | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
know, he was incredible and I am just glad that I was able to say to | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
him, I love you, the last time I saw him. | :15:00. | :15:08. | |
In Minneapolis, where a star was born and where he died, they partied | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
all night, remembering a local hero who became a global superstar. | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
Across the United States and beyond, one colour said it all. Famous | :15:21. | :15:25. | |

he was psychotic, that he was doing the Devil's work | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
as he carried out his killings. But detectives say he had a much | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
more dangerous fixation. That was his obsession with serial | :17:00. | :17:05. | |

warming "well below" 2 degrees, The plan was due to come | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
into force by 2020. But China, one of the world's | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
biggest polluters, said today that it planned to ratify | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
the changes this year. From New York, our science editor | :18:09. | :18:10. | |

are on the United States, with the presidential elections | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
coming up, and Republican candidates who just don't | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
want any part of this. We don't know who is the next | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
president, and what standard the new | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
administration will take. Amid the uncertainty, Nasa has | :20:10. | :20:13. | |

fine after they admitted breaching health and safety laws when a roller | :20:31. | :20:34. | |

were in court to hear that staff procedures were "not as safe | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
as they should have been". Leicester started the season | :20:44. | :20:53. | |
as favourites to be relegated from the Premier League, but they've been | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
top of the table since January and currently have a five-point lead | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
with four games to go. Their Italian manager, | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
Claudio Ranieri, has so far been tight-lipped about their prospects, | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
but has now told the BBC that they're putting "heart and soul" | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
into winning the title. He's on the verge of masterminding | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
a true sporting fairy tale. So far, Claudio Ranieri has taken it | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
all in his stride, the Leicester City manager refusing | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
to get carried away. But today he told me | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
the Premier League leaders were intent on completing | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
a remarkable journey. Four matches to go, | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
we are straightaway Trying to win the title, | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
with all our strength, heart, soul. Try, because now | :21:29. | :21:37. | |
is the right moment. Having been 5000-1 to win the title | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
before the start of the season, Leicester City have defied | :21:43. | :21:53. | |
all expectations and now need just eight points to guarantee | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
one of the greatest Does it feel like a dream at | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
times, this? Because when I came here, | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
I said I hope to make But of course, never, | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
never, never come think Leicester City's squad cost | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
a fraction of some of the club's much wealthier | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
Premier League rivals. But Ranieri has forged a special | :22:23. | :22:23. | |
bond with his players. They have energy, | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
electricity inside. It is fantastic, | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
it's good, it's good. The charismatic Italian puts | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
the underdogs' success down to a host of factors, | :22:41. | :22:52. | |
among them the support of the club's But he believes whatever | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
happens this season, Leicester, a little team, | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
can fight against the biggest Ranieri's long managerial career has | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
taken him on a tour of some He's never won a league title, | :23:06. | :23:22. | |
but that could be about to change. Ranieri has already guided | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
Leicester City to the Champions Now all that remains is for them | :23:29. | :23:42. | |
to become champions and seal a place Tomorrow, the 400th anniversary | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
of the death of William Shakespeare will be marked with a series | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
of events across Britain, His works have been translated | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
into more than 80 languages, and Will Gompertz has been | :23:57. | :24:00. | |

creeps in this petty pace from day-to-day, | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
to the last syllable He is arguably more popular now | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
than he has ever been There is a school of thought that | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
thinks it is entirely constructed fame, isn't it, to do with cultural | :24:25. | :24:40. | |
pressures, the British Empire, English being spread | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
through the world. There are people who believe that | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
but I don't think he could have survived that kind of pressure | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
unless he was very, very good. This blessed plot, this earth, | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
this realm, this England. He writes characters | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
that you can Doing Hamlet, for instance, | :25:05. | :25:05. | |
the worst thing you can possibly do is worry about what previous | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
Hamlets did. You have to convince yourself, | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
and it is certainly true that your Hamlet will be unlike any | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
other Hamlet that's ever been. That's sort of true | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
for all of those parts, And with the very great parts | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
like Hamlet, they are limitless, and therefore cannot | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
be done "properly." Whether tis nobler in the mind | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take | :25:33. | :25:41. | |
arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
end them. Of course, nowadays, | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
Shakespeare's plays are taken around the world, you have taken | :25:49. | :25:58. | |
them around the world. Yes, you could probably go anywhere | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
in the world and say, "To be or not to be" and people | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
would recognise it. He must be, he must be the only | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
truly international writer. We are such stuff as dreams are made | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
on, and our little life I suppose the most obvious thing | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
about Shakespeare's plays is that they are imbued | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
with universal themes. Yes, absolutely, and | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
I'm sure that's why You have to go to the big boys | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
and girls for that, really. No, you unnatural hags, I will have | :26:30. | :26:42. | |
such revenges on you both that I will do such things, | :26:43. | :26:58. | |
what they are, I know not, but they shall be the terrors | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
of the Earth. But we'll leave you with some | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
of the lasting images of the presidential visit today, | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
which wasn't all about politics. It does contain some | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
flash photography. I have to say, I have never | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
been driven And I can report that it | :27:25. | :27:37. | |
was very smooth riding. The Queen has been a source | :27:38. | :27:47. | |
of inspiration for me, like so many She is truly one of my favourite | :27:48. | :27:55. | |
people. She is an astonishing person | :27:56. | :28:02. | |
and a real jewel to the world, | :28:03. | :28:06. |
