:00:16. > :00:30.We would not be able to take part in the decisions that frame the sharing

:00:31. > :00:34.of data which is a crucial part of counterterrorism and countless other

:00:35. > :00:40.work that we do these days. We have by far the best and intelligence

:00:41. > :00:44.services in Europe so there is no reason we could not negotiate a

:00:45. > :00:45.perfectly satisfactory agreement if we leave.

:00:46. > :00:48.We'll be looking at the debate on security and the EU ahead

:00:49. > :00:50.of a speech tomorrow by the Prime Minister.

:00:51. > :00:53.Canada's wildfires continue to rage but cooler temperatures are raising

:00:54. > :00:55.hopes of bringing them under control.

:00:56. > :00:58.We report from North Korea as Kim Jong-un addresses a rare

:01:04. > :01:12.Prince Harry on his public role and his private life.

:01:13. > :01:34.A good night for the BBC at the television BAFTAs.

:01:35. > :01:39.Two former heads of Britain's intelligence and security services

:01:40. > :01:42.have said the UK's ability to protect itself could be

:01:43. > :01:46.undermined by a vote to leave the European Union.

:01:47. > :01:49.Sir John Sawers, who stepped down as the head of MI6 in 2014,

:01:50. > :01:51.and Lord Evans, who led its domestic counterpart MI5 until three years

:01:52. > :01:54.ago, say a British exit could damage intelligence sharing and destabilise

:01:55. > :02:02.But the Vote Leave campaign says the UK would be safer

:02:03. > :02:09.Here's our security correspondent Frank Gardner.

:02:10. > :02:12.Out of the shadows and into the debate,

:02:13. > :02:15.two top former intelligence chiefs said today that Britain

:02:16. > :02:22.Jonathan Evans ran MI5, John Sawers ran MI6,

:02:23. > :02:28.They say sharing datasets on terror suspects between EU

:02:29. > :02:36.If Britain left, it would receive less data.

:02:37. > :02:39.The former MI6 spy chief said Britain could no longer shape

:02:40. > :02:44.the debate on balancing privacy with security.

:02:45. > :02:47.We have built the structures over the last 30 or 40 years.

:02:48. > :02:52.And we in Britain have played an important role,

:02:53. > :02:54.in making sure the security dimension is properly considered

:02:55. > :02:58.and integrated into the EU decisions that are taken.

:02:59. > :03:02.If we walk away from it, we will lose a lot of those gains.

:03:03. > :03:08.But others say cross-border co-operation would continue,

:03:09. > :03:10.EU governments would still feel morally obliged to pass

:03:11. > :03:13.on intelligence that could save lives, and they need

:03:14. > :03:18.Europe's borders and EU laws are being quoted by both

:03:19. > :03:25.The two former spy chiefs say worries over border controls

:03:26. > :03:29.are exaggerated as the UK is not part of the Schengen

:03:30. > :03:34.And that the European Arrest Warrant has led to over 5000

:03:35. > :03:36.people being extradited to European countries.

:03:37. > :03:45.But another former MI6 chief, Sir Richard Dearlove,

:03:46. > :03:47.says Brexit would give Britain greater control over migrants coming

:03:48. > :03:51.Today a previous Home Secretary welcomed the chance to be rid

:03:52. > :03:54.of the European Court of Justice, which hands down rulings on EU law.

:03:55. > :03:57.The European Court of Justice interferes in all sorts of ways

:03:58. > :04:08.It's even considering at the moment a case involving the surveillance

:04:09. > :04:10.agreements that we recently put in place in this country

:04:11. > :04:12.which the Home Secretary said are absolutely critical

:04:13. > :04:16.to protect our people and to make this country safe.

:04:17. > :04:25.The former MI6 and MI5 chiefs say Europe's long period of postwar

:04:26. > :04:28.stability would be in jeopardy if a Brexit led to

:04:29. > :04:35.Vote Leave say Britain's security is hitched to Nato, not the EU.

:04:36. > :04:39.The people who work in this building, MI6, and their colleagues

:04:40. > :04:46.down the river at MI5, have been careful not to get

:04:47. > :04:50.drawn into the public debate on the EU referendum.

:04:51. > :04:53.But Sir John Sawers and Lord Evans both left secret intelligence

:04:54. > :04:55.in the last three years, so they are free

:04:56. > :04:59.And the intervention they have made today makes them probably the most

:05:00. > :05:01.authoritative voices so far in the world of intelligence

:05:02. > :05:03.to express their opinions on whether Britain is safer

:05:04. > :05:10.When you have prominent people from the intelligence apparatus

:05:11. > :05:13.talking about Brexit, it is important and significant.

:05:14. > :05:16.But, equally, there are a lot of people who have served

:05:17. > :05:19.in intelligence and police who have said it will have no

:05:20. > :05:25.Both men insist their views are independent of Downing Street,

:05:26. > :05:27.but what they have said today will undoubtedly be

:05:28. > :05:29.welcomed by David Cameron and the Remain camp.

:05:30. > :05:36.One of the leading campaigners for Britain to leave

:05:37. > :05:39.the European Union, the Justice Secretary, Michael Gove,

:05:40. > :05:44.has confirmed that he also wants the UK to leave the single market.

:05:45. > :05:46.He said a post-Brexit UK should negotiate access to the market,

:05:47. > :05:51.But the Chancellor, George Osborne said leaving the single market

:05:52. > :05:59.Our political correspondent, Vicki Young, reports.

:06:00. > :06:02.Britain's economy and our prosperity are at the heart of the argument

:06:03. > :06:04.over whether we should stay in the EU.

:06:05. > :06:07.Across manufacturing, retail and financial services,

:06:08. > :06:13.how we trade with other countries has an impact on jobs and prices.

:06:14. > :06:17.For those making the case to leave, there's one very important question.

:06:18. > :06:22.Do you want us to stay inside the single market, yes or no?

:06:23. > :06:24.We should have access to the single market,

:06:25. > :06:27.but we should not be governed by the rules the European Court

:06:28. > :06:31.of Justice imposes on us, which cost business and restrict freedom.

:06:32. > :06:34.This is how the single market works at the moment.

:06:35. > :06:37.It allows goods, services and money to be bought and sold freely

:06:38. > :06:41.around the European Union, but there are rules which come alongside that.

:06:42. > :06:45.Free movement is one of them, which is why people can come

:06:46. > :06:53.Remain campaigners think Michael Gove's words

:06:54. > :06:59.We have just had the Leave Campaign admit this morning that Britain

:07:00. > :07:03.the largest free trade area in the world.

:07:04. > :07:06.That would be catastrophic for people's jobs,

:07:07. > :07:09.and their incomes and their livelihoods.

:07:10. > :07:12.Some people might think wrecking the economy is a price worth paying,

:07:13. > :07:17.But Lance Foreman, who runs a salmon smoking firm in East London,

:07:18. > :07:21.says small businesses are weighed down by EU red tape.

:07:22. > :07:25.Last year, we had to spend thousands of pounds printing new packaging

:07:26. > :07:29.so that a packet of smoked salmon could have a warning sign

:07:30. > :07:32.printed on the back which said "Contains fish".

:07:33. > :07:40.Just a huge, huge waste of unnecessary expenditure.

:07:41. > :07:42.Leading business figures, though, insist the existing arrangements

:07:43. > :07:45.we have with the EU are crucial to the UK economy.

:07:46. > :07:49.It is a cloud cuckoo land world to imagine we would be able

:07:50. > :07:52.to have the same trade deals with the European Union having left

:07:53. > :07:59.that the Vote Leave campaign is making.

:08:00. > :08:01.Trade deals are very difficult to do.

:08:02. > :08:07.And the Government has warned that it is not just businesses

:08:08. > :08:08.that will suffer from a British exit.

:08:09. > :08:10.The Chancellor has said house prices will fall

:08:11. > :08:16.causing a significant shock to the housing market.

:08:17. > :08:18.Let's join Vicki now live from Westminster.

:08:19. > :08:21.And now that last week's elections are over, the EU referendum will be

:08:22. > :08:32.That's right and tomorrow we will hear the Prime Minister move on to a

:08:33. > :08:35.new stage come away from the economic arguments and making what

:08:36. > :08:42.we are told is a patriotic speech, the case for staying in. Looking at

:08:43. > :08:46.history and talking about Churchill saying it shows us that we need to

:08:47. > :08:50.be a part of the EU because it keeps us safe and we have to have an

:08:51. > :08:55.influence rather than being dictated to. On the other Saab -- aside the

:08:56. > :08:59.argument, Boris Johnson will rejoin the fray and I'm told he will make

:09:00. > :09:05.the liberal case for leaving, saying the risk of staying -- is staying in

:09:06. > :09:08.because there has been no reform. Mr Johnson will be unleashed on the

:09:09. > :09:12.nature and later in the week taking part in a tour visiting towns and

:09:13. > :09:16.cities around the country. Those who want to leave says he have a more

:09:17. > :09:19.positive reaction from the public than any other politician and they

:09:20. > :09:24.want to use that to their advantage in the coming weeks. Thank you.

:09:25. > :09:26.The authorities in Canada have said tonight that a huge

:09:27. > :09:28.wildfire is spreading less quickly than feared.

:09:29. > :09:31.However, it is still expected to be the most costly natural disaster

:09:32. > :09:36.80,000 people have already been evacuated from the town

:09:37. > :09:39.of Fort McMurray, many fleeing south to Edmonton.

:09:40. > :09:45.Our correspondent Laura Bicker has the latest from the affected area.

:09:46. > :09:48.After the panic and the fear, there is quiet in Fort McMurray,

:09:49. > :09:58.They are still fighting to save what they can,

:09:59. > :10:02.and they may have finally reached a turning point, but it is taking

:10:03. > :10:14.I don't consider myself a hero. But I've met more heroes in this

:10:15. > :10:22.experience than I've ever thought existed. Sorry. Nature is finally

:10:23. > :10:27.lending at hand and cooler weather conditions are beginning to help but

:10:28. > :10:30.strong winds are fanning the flames towards the neighbouring province of

:10:31. > :10:36.Saskatchewan and officials believe this wildfire could burn for weeks

:10:37. > :10:41.to come. We are about 20 kilometres from the edge of Fort McMurray on

:10:42. > :10:46.day eight after these fires started and still they are battling the

:10:47. > :10:50.flames. They say they need prolonged rainfall but that is something they

:10:51. > :10:54.have not had here for over two months. The last evacuees had been

:10:55. > :10:58.airlifted from the city with the help of the Army. This strategy has

:10:59. > :11:02.been one of containment as conditions made it too difficult to

:11:03. > :11:08.control. 80,000 people had to abandon their homes. The mass

:11:09. > :11:13.evacuation but the main roads and two people were killed in a car

:11:14. > :11:17.accident as they fled. Our hearts go out to their families. This is

:11:18. > :11:27.Mother's Day and I'm hoping in this crisis to spend a few minutes with

:11:28. > :11:32.my own children today. That not all of us can do that is definitely an

:11:33. > :11:37.awful tragedy. So many have lost so much, this is likely to be the most

:11:38. > :11:40.expensive natural disaster in Canadian history and insured losses

:11:41. > :11:45.alone will be billions of dollars. For those who once lived here, they

:11:46. > :11:50.must be asking how and when they will ever get a chance to rebuild.

:11:51. > :11:52.Laura Bicker, BBC News, Fort McMurray.

:11:53. > :11:54.Police and protestors have clashed outside the Greek parliament,

:11:55. > :11:56.as MPs vote on controversial new austerity measures.

:11:57. > :11:59.Thousands demonstrated peacefully but some threw petrol bombs

:12:00. > :12:01.and other objects at officers, who responded with tear gas.

:12:02. > :12:03.Eurozone finance ministers are due to meet tomorrow

:12:04. > :12:09.to try to restart stalled talks on Greece's debt repayments.

:12:10. > :12:13.Police are investigating the death of a soldier in Powys.

:12:14. > :12:16.The man, who has not been identified, was found injured

:12:17. > :12:18.and unconscious on a street in Brecon at around 1

:12:19. > :12:23.The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that he was a member

:12:24. > :12:28.A 23-year-old has been arrested and is being held in custody

:12:29. > :12:35.The new Mayor of London, Labour's Sadiq Khan,

:12:36. > :12:38.has warned that his party can win elections only if it reaches

:12:39. > :12:44.He says it's vital for Labour to be what he called a "big tent",

:12:45. > :12:47.and emphasised its aim should be to improve people's lives.

:12:48. > :12:49.Our political correspondent, Eleanor Garnier, is at

:12:50. > :12:57.After his decisive victory, how will Sadiq Khan use his

:12:58. > :13:10.It was a significant victory. Sadiq Khan took the job of London Mayor

:13:11. > :13:14.and with it city hall lit up in yellow, from the Conservatives,

:13:15. > :13:19.winning more than a million votes. Arguably he now has a bigger

:13:20. > :13:23.personal mandate than his party leader. Labour suffered historic

:13:24. > :13:29.losses in Scotland last week and it failed to make progress in the local

:13:30. > :13:32.elections across England. Fresh from his victory and speaking at a

:13:33. > :13:34.Holocaust Remembrance Day event, said Khan offered his colleagues

:13:35. > :13:36.some advice. What is important for

:13:37. > :13:39.the Labour Party is to get back We can only improve people's lives

:13:40. > :13:42.and improve our society by being in office and that means

:13:43. > :13:45.winning elections, winning Mayoral elections,

:13:46. > :13:46.winning general elections. The Labour movement has improved

:13:47. > :13:49.people's lives when we have been in government and I'm hoping

:13:50. > :13:52.we speak to more and more people who didn't vote Labour last time

:13:53. > :13:54.to persuade them to lend us their votes so we can be again

:13:55. > :14:05.a Labour government. These remarks are being seen as a

:14:06. > :14:09.clear message to the party's leader that they cannot rely on the core

:14:10. > :14:16.vote alone to win that there was also a warning to Jeremy Corbyn's

:14:17. > :14:20.critics to resist focusing on internal party problems. All sides

:14:21. > :14:26.in this know they need to present a united party but the difficulty is

:14:27. > :14:30.that Labour MPs are divided on key issues so finding that agreement and

:14:31. > :14:32.presenting that unity is not easy. Thank you.

:14:33. > :14:35.The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has told a gathering

:14:36. > :14:37.of his country's political and military elite that its nuclear

:14:38. > :14:39.weapons will not be used for a first strike.

:14:40. > :14:42.He was addressing a rare meeting of the Workers Party Congress,

:14:43. > :14:45.which has taken place for the first time in 36 years and

:14:46. > :14:51.which he is thought to be using to consolidate his power.

:14:52. > :14:56.From Pyongyang here's our correspondent John Sudworth.

:14:57. > :15:03.This is the North Korea on display to foreign journalists.

:15:04. > :15:10.The reality, in a country with chronic food shortages,

:15:11. > :15:14.And so, too, with the Workers' Party congress, an event

:15:15. > :15:22.in which propaganda is the primary purpose.

:15:23. > :15:25.For domestic audiences, it's a show of strength.

:15:26. > :15:30.For the outside world, though, a different message.

:15:31. > :15:35."We won't use our nuclear weapons unless we are attacked first",

:15:36. > :15:40.the supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, told the delegates.

:15:41. > :15:45.Outside the congress, the media bandwagon

:15:46. > :15:50.We are taken to this show home, a picture of comfort far removed

:15:51. > :15:59.And to a model factory, a symbol of industrial

:16:00. > :16:02.self-sufficiency at odds with the antiquated

:16:03. > :16:09.Of course, North Koreans know the reality, so they are

:16:10. > :16:19.Some countries have nuclear weapons and they threaten us.

:16:20. > :16:29.So we must have nuclear weapons and develop it

:16:30. > :16:34.North Korea has long been a master of nuclear brinkmanship.

:16:35. > :16:37.The leadership openly says it has learnt the lessons of other rogue

:16:38. > :16:42.For the end of this party congress, in the city behind me,

:16:43. > :16:45.we have heard the sound of thousands of people preparing to celebrate

:16:46. > :16:48.what is seen as the defining victory, the simple fact of regime

:16:49. > :16:55.survival, underwritten by a nuclear weapons programme.

:16:56. > :16:57.As those preparations continue tonight, there are reports that

:16:58. > :17:01.North Korea's fifth nuclear test may be imminent.

:17:45. > :17:47.to the BBC about his involvement and about what he called

:17:48. > :17:50."unnecessary" media intrusion into his private life.

:17:51. > :18:00.Let's join our correspondent Aleem Maqbool in Orlando.

:18:01. > :18:07.Excitement is building here, the hope of Disney World which is right

:18:08. > :18:12.next door to where these games are taking place. All of these people

:18:13. > :18:17.are streaming in for the opening ceremony of the games which will

:18:18. > :18:21.happen in just a couple of hours, attended not just by Prince Harry

:18:22. > :18:27.but Michelle Obama as well. Those looking forward to this the most are

:18:28. > :18:29.those taking part, more than 500 extraordinary athletes from 14

:18:30. > :18:32.countries and we had a chance to meet some of them.

:18:33. > :18:34.A very Disney welcome for competitors at the Invictus Games,

:18:35. > :18:37.an event for injured or sick members of armed forces from Britain

:18:38. > :18:42.It is all the vision of Prince Harry, who has been

:18:43. > :18:45.spending time with athletes as they prepare for competition.

:18:46. > :18:48.He created the first games in 2014, after wanting to do

:18:49. > :18:53.something for those he had served with in his own time in the Army.

:18:54. > :18:55.Josh from Salisbury has hopes of a gold medal.

:18:56. > :19:04.He lost both legs and an arm after stepping on an explosive

:19:05. > :19:08.In London in 2014, we thought it was just going to be a big sports

:19:09. > :19:11.day and the public would just feel sorry for injured soldiers and,

:19:12. > :19:15.I will give you a big hug or something.

:19:16. > :19:18.But the level of competitiveness was great, and you come to a place

:19:19. > :19:23.We all know the Americans like to put on a show, don't they?

:19:24. > :19:26.Well, as happy an event as this is, the reminders of the costs of war

:19:27. > :19:29.are all around, and Invictus isn't just about veterans with physical

:19:30. > :19:31.injuries, but those with psychological trauma as well.

:19:32. > :19:33.American Tino suffered PTSD after several tours in Iraq.

:19:34. > :19:39.It is clear what he feels Prince Harry has done for him.

:19:40. > :19:45.It gives me the drive, gives me ambition to still accomplish things,

:19:46. > :19:54.But Prince Harry himself says he is frustrated his private life,

:19:55. > :19:59.not his charity work, is still what some people are interested in.

:20:00. > :20:02.There is this sort of incessant need to find out every detail about

:20:03. > :20:09.It's unnecessary, I hope that people get to see me here in this Invictus

:20:10. > :20:12.role, cracking on with the guys and mucking in and having a good

:20:13. > :20:15.time with them, and this what is I enjoy doing.

:20:16. > :20:19.But the the private life has to be private.

:20:20. > :20:23.For the next five days, Prince Harry says he hopes

:20:24. > :20:34.it is the remarkable athletes here who are the focus.
