:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight at Ten - the strongest warning yet

:00:00. > :00:10.It claims that leaving the EU could provoke a recession.

:00:11. > :00:12.With six weeks to referendum day, the Bank claims that

:00:13. > :00:14.growth could weaken, while unemployment and

:00:15. > :00:18.inflation could rise - if the vote was to leave.

:00:19. > :00:20.It's a controversial intervention by Mark Carney,

:00:21. > :00:23.the Bank's governor, who insists he's right to point out

:00:24. > :00:29.If there were a vote to leave, that would have material

:00:30. > :00:33.consequences for both growth and inflation.

:00:34. > :00:36.But the credibility of the Bank's economic predictions has been

:00:37. > :00:40.called into question - and so has the governor's judgement.

:00:41. > :00:43.The governor ought to be very careful with what he says.

:00:44. > :00:48.There's a real danger he could create a self-fulfilling crisis.

:00:49. > :00:51.We'll have more on the governor's warning, and the furious reaction

:00:52. > :00:56.of those campaigning for Britain to leave the EU.

:00:57. > :00:59.A new government blueprint for the BBC's future -

:01:00. > :01:04.but critics say the Corporation's independence is under threat.

:01:05. > :01:06.Public support for Dilma Rousseff, President of Brazil,

:01:07. > :01:09.who's been suspended from office after senators voted

:01:10. > :01:15.Off the Italian coast, thousands of migrants have been

:01:16. > :01:21.We report from a ship in the central Mediterranean.

:01:22. > :01:23.And on the final day of the Invictus Games,

:01:24. > :01:30.Prince Harry receives a gift for doctors and nurses in the UK.

:01:31. > :01:33.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: Roberto Martinez

:01:34. > :01:37.He leaves less than halfway through a six-year contract -

:01:38. > :02:01.with the club 12th in the Premier League.

:02:02. > :02:04.The Bank of England has delivered its strongest warning

:02:05. > :02:08.to date about the risks to the UK economy as it sees them if Britain

:02:09. > :02:11.The Bank's governor, Mark Carney, said a vote to leave

:02:12. > :02:14.in the referendum in June could lead to the economy falling

:02:15. > :02:18.Mr Carney's comments were embraced by David Cameron,

:02:19. > :02:22.but there's been an angry response from those campaigning to leave

:02:23. > :02:25.the EU, accusing Mr Carney of overstepping the mark.

:02:26. > :02:30.Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed reports.

:02:31. > :02:41.Today, the Bank of England said that if Britain left the European Union

:02:42. > :02:46.In his strongest warning yet, Mark Carney said

:02:47. > :02:48.that all nine members of the Bank's Monetary Policy

:02:49. > :02:53.Committee spoke with one voice about the risks of Brexit.

:02:54. > :02:56.Material slowdown in growth, notable increase in inflation,

:02:57. > :03:03.It's a judgment not based on a whim, it's a judgment based on rigorous

:03:04. > :03:10.Given the gloominess of your forecast and the data,

:03:11. > :03:12.can you rule out Britain's economy being tipped

:03:13. > :03:18.into recession if we were to leave the European Union?

:03:19. > :03:21.Of course there's a range of possible scenarios

:03:22. > :03:25.around those directions, which could possibly include

:03:26. > :03:29.a technical recession, could possibly include that.

:03:30. > :03:31.It's official - Britain is in recession and it's

:03:32. > :03:38.The last recession was in 2009, sparked by the financial crisis.

:03:39. > :03:42.Could a referendum crisis have a similar result?

:03:43. > :03:46.The Bank's warning on the risk of an EU exit come in three parts.

:03:47. > :03:50.Inflation could rise, meaning higher prices,

:03:51. > :03:55.and unemployment could increase as investment falls.

:03:56. > :03:57.The Bank also said the value of sterling could fall

:03:58. > :04:00.sharply as markets reacted to the referendum result.

:04:01. > :04:04.Many economists agree with the Bank's gloomy prognosis.

:04:05. > :04:08.A recession is plausible if the UK leaves the EU.

:04:09. > :04:13.In the short term you would have quite a lot of uncertainty

:04:14. > :04:19.and we advise clients at the moment to factor in between 0.5-1.5

:04:20. > :04:26.percentage lower growth in the event of an exit in the first few years.

:04:27. > :04:29.The Bank of England governor has certainly moved significantly today.

:04:30. > :04:33.The warnings about the risks of Britain leaving the EU far

:04:34. > :04:38.The use of the "recession" word significant and I'm told

:04:39. > :04:42.For Mark Carney, he knows it's controversial territory -

:04:43. > :04:45.a central bank governor in the spotlight.

:04:46. > :04:48.His response, that the Bank of England governor has

:04:49. > :04:56.We have a responsibility, if we have done analysis,

:04:57. > :04:59.if it has been top of mind, if it has been a preoccupation of

:05:00. > :05:03.the MPC, if it is in its judgment - which it is - the biggest risk

:05:04. > :05:07.to the forecast, to talk about it, and that's what we've done.

:05:08. > :05:12.Blue skies over the Bank but storm clouds for the governor as Leave

:05:13. > :05:15.campaigners accused him of making hysterical comments.

:05:16. > :05:18.One MP called for his resignation and a former Chancellor

:05:19. > :05:22.warned him against intervening in the EU debate.

:05:23. > :05:25.I think the governor ought to be very careful with what he says.

:05:26. > :05:28.There's a real danger he could create a self-fulfilling

:05:29. > :05:33.crisis, warning of a crisis that needn't be.

:05:34. > :05:39.Britain can trade, Britain can prosper, just like any other

:05:40. > :05:45.It is not Mark Carney's first warning on the risks of leaving

:05:46. > :05:48.the EU and it's unlikely to be his last.

:05:49. > :05:51.The question - what influence today's strong words

:05:52. > :05:56.from the governor will have on the referendum outcome.

:05:57. > :06:05.You were telling us about the controversial remarks today by the

:06:06. > :06:09.governor, but what about the broader economic argument that's going on

:06:10. > :06:15.about our future in Europe? The Bank of England's warnings today really

:06:16. > :06:20.come as part of a series of big warnings from large, important

:06:21. > :06:24.institutions, the OECD, the Treasury itself, its economists have brought

:06:25. > :06:28.out warnings about if we left the European Union, the London School of

:06:29. > :06:33.Economics, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, all saying a similar

:06:34. > :06:38.things, a big weight of opinion in their mind is that if we left the

:06:39. > :06:42.European Union it would be bad for the economy. Now, that might be a

:06:43. > :06:47.big weight of opinion. That's not to say that on the other side there

:06:48. > :06:50.aren't people who have at least legitimate for the Leave campaign

:06:51. > :06:55.opinions on the economic future which would be better out of the

:06:56. > :06:58.European Union. Professor Patrick Winford, the former economic adviser

:06:59. > :07:03.to Margaret Thatcher, says if Britain left the European Union it

:07:04. > :07:06.would be far better for the richest economy. Now, we're going to have a

:07:07. > :07:09.lot more of this tomorrow. The IMF is going to come out, the

:07:10. > :07:13.International Monetary Fund, with a very gloomy report on what would

:07:14. > :07:16.happen if Britain left the European Union. The Treasury has another

:07:17. > :07:20.report coming out. What is fascinating about this whole debate,

:07:21. > :07:25.one person in polls comes out as the most influential to the public on

:07:26. > :07:31.the issue of the European Union and the referendum, and that person is

:07:32. > :07:34.Mark Carney. That is why his words today are so important, because it

:07:35. > :07:39.appears from the polling evidence that the public to listen to him.

:07:40. > :07:42.Thanks very much, Kemal Ahmed, the economic senator. -- economic

:07:43. > :07:44.senator. The government White Paper

:07:45. > :07:47.on the future of the BBC has been published, setting out plans

:07:48. > :07:50.to change the way the Corporation John Whittingdale,

:07:51. > :07:52.the Culture Secretary, is proposing a new board to run the BBC -

:07:53. > :07:55.replacing the BBC Trust - with the majority of its members

:07:56. > :07:57.appointed independently The BBC's Director-General,

:07:58. > :08:00.Lord Hall, broadly welcomed the plans, but he raised concerns

:08:01. > :08:03.that not enough had been done to safeguard the BBC's independence,

:08:04. > :08:05.as our political editor The BBC's been everywhere

:08:06. > :08:23.for all our lifetimes. Changes in how it works and you'll

:08:24. > :08:29.know what its top stars get paid. You could get a lot of people

:08:30. > :08:32.to host them and the shows would still be successful

:08:33. > :08:34.because the base product You know, this is not

:08:35. > :08:40.rocket science, you know, if I was in charge I would

:08:41. > :08:43.definitely have a word The Culture Secretary,

:08:44. > :08:48.who once said he was tempted to abolish the BBC, sounded

:08:49. > :08:53.rather different today. Mr Speaker, the BBC is and must

:08:54. > :08:55.always remain at the very We want the BBC to thrive, to make

:08:56. > :09:01.fantastic programmes for audiences, and to act as an engine

:09:02. > :09:05.for growth and creativity. The BBC Trust will be replaced

:09:06. > :09:12.with a new independent board. As many as half of its members

:09:13. > :09:16.will be appointed by the government. There will be new rules on diversity

:09:17. > :09:21.and impartiality, and Ofcom, the broadcasting watchdog,

:09:22. > :09:23.will regulate the BBC But the government won't stick

:09:24. > :09:29.its nose into schedules and the 93 year old licence fee survives

:09:30. > :09:33.for at least a decade. On the big issues, the future

:09:34. > :09:36.of the licence fee, the future of how the BBC competes

:09:37. > :09:39.with its rivals, you have ducked No, I think the changes we're

:09:40. > :09:44.making are substantial. I think they will have

:09:45. > :09:46.a significant effect. I think they will ensure

:09:47. > :09:50.that the BBC excels even more at the things the BBC does

:09:51. > :09:54.which are prized by audiences across the country, and also we put

:09:55. > :09:57.in place a completely It will be a much stronger

:09:58. > :10:02.board, much more involved Why should half of them be

:10:03. > :10:05.government appointees? The BBC benefits from ?3.7 billion

:10:06. > :10:09.of public money and I think the government is entitled

:10:10. > :10:13.to have its representation. But there's a fear the BBC

:10:14. > :10:17.would have to doff its cap This is not a state

:10:18. > :10:21.broadcaster, like you get This is an independent

:10:22. > :10:26.element of free speech. Why does the government have any

:10:27. > :10:30.right to put anyone on that board? But if you get your drama fix

:10:31. > :10:34.only through iPlayer, And for new services

:10:35. > :10:40.there might be a subscription. I think the White Paper's main

:10:41. > :10:44.message about distinctive, high-quality programming is exactly

:10:45. > :10:48.what I think the BBC If you're being really honest

:10:49. > :10:54.with yourself do you have even a tiny inkling that somehow

:10:55. > :10:57.the BBC got away with it? I don't think the BBC

:10:58. > :10:59.got away with it. I think if you look back

:11:00. > :11:03.at where we were a year ago the debate and discussions,

:11:04. > :11:08.which have been had involving the DCMS and other parts

:11:09. > :11:11.of government, some of this has been public, some of this has been behind

:11:12. > :11:14.closed doors, are exactly the discussions and

:11:15. > :11:19.debates you should have. For months there have been all sorts

:11:20. > :11:22.of suggestions round here that really might have changed

:11:23. > :11:26.what you see and hear on screen, In the end, today's plans

:11:27. > :11:32.will change how the BBC is run, but it's more tinkering under

:11:33. > :11:36.the bonnet of the organisation itself than a radical

:11:37. > :11:39.rethink for the future. But with the days of huddling around

:11:40. > :11:46.the set disappearing fast, shouldn't the BBC change

:11:47. > :11:49.more quickly too? There will be disappointment

:11:50. > :11:52.in the commercial sector that the BBC hasn't been reduced

:11:53. > :11:58.in scope and size. But the emphasis on innovation

:11:59. > :12:03.and risk taking is good This, my sweet, is a letter

:12:04. > :12:09.from my solicitor. At times it seems the BBC could have

:12:10. > :12:12.been served an ultimatum. But these talks have come

:12:13. > :12:19.to a less dramatic end. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC

:12:20. > :12:33.News, Westminster. Lets talk to our media

:12:34. > :12:35.correspondent, David Sillitoe, who is outside Broadcasting House. Let's

:12:36. > :12:38.talk about regulation and independence in the light of this

:12:39. > :12:44.white paper. What is your reading of it? Well, overall it's certainly not

:12:45. > :12:48.as drastic as any thought it was going to be. We can look at some of

:12:49. > :12:52.the details. There are going to be big changes. For instance, programme

:12:53. > :12:55.making. Every programme outside of news and current affairs will be

:12:56. > :12:59.open to competitive tender for an outside company to make. Of course,

:13:00. > :13:03.those governance issues, those are big changes and the key phrase was

:13:04. > :13:07.from John Whittingdale, the government is entitled to

:13:08. > :13:12.representation because this is after all ?3.7 billion of public money.

:13:13. > :13:16.But there are many who disagree. For instance, Norman Fowler, a former

:13:17. > :13:22.Conservative minister, says no, this is ?3.7 billion of licence payers'

:13:23. > :13:25.money. He feels the directors should be absolutely independent. So why

:13:26. > :13:29.does the board matter so much more than the trust, which after all

:13:30. > :13:33.almost all its members are appointed by the government? Well, the trust

:13:34. > :13:37.is largely a Watchdog and if you read the White Paper there is a key

:13:38. > :13:42.phrase in there, the board will be setting the editorial direction of

:13:43. > :13:45.the whole of the BBC. This is a great deal of clarity now about

:13:46. > :13:50.where control is and it's right with the board, it's why it matters and

:13:51. > :13:53.it's why these discussions are far from over. David Sillitoe, our media

:13:54. > :13:57.correspondent. The President of Brazil,

:13:58. > :13:59.Dilma Rousseff, has accused senators of mounting a coup after their vote

:14:00. > :14:02.to suspend her from her duties. They voted to impeach her

:14:03. > :14:04.for allegedly concealing the size But the President denies any

:14:05. > :14:08.wrongdoing and she's warned of dangerous instability

:14:09. > :14:11.unless she's reinstated. Let's join our correspondent

:14:12. > :14:28.Wyre Davies in the This saga has been tremendously

:14:29. > :14:32.damaging for Brazil, one of the world's biggest economies and

:14:33. > :14:36.democracies. Dilma Rousseff insists she can return as President after an

:14:37. > :14:41.impeachment trial, but that is unlikely. There has already been a

:14:42. > :14:44.new cabinet sworn in and a new President, promising a government of

:14:45. > :14:46.national salvation. "Dilma, a Brazilian warrior",

:14:47. > :14:48.was the chant from her staff and colleagues as Brazil's first

:14:49. > :14:51.female President faced the cameras, minutes after being formally told

:14:52. > :14:57.of her suspension from office. Defiant until the end,

:14:58. > :14:59.Ms Rousseff said Brazil's In an emotional defence

:15:00. > :15:03.of her record, the former political prisoner said she had faced

:15:04. > :15:06.adversity before and TRANSLATION: I have suffered

:15:07. > :15:15.the unspeakable pain of torture, And now once again I am suffering

:15:16. > :15:25.the unbearable pain of injustice. The President's fate was sealed

:15:26. > :15:29.when after 21 hours of debate the Senate voted overwhelmingly

:15:30. > :15:35.in favour of an impeachment trial. The charge is that Ms Rousseff had

:15:36. > :15:38.illegally concealed Dilma Rousseff's opponents

:15:39. > :15:45.celebrated the news in the capital. Their anger with her,

:15:46. > :15:47.not so much the formal charges, The new leader is former

:15:48. > :15:55.Vice President, Michel Temer, centre right, business friendly

:15:56. > :16:00.and promising national unity. His first move was to appoint

:16:01. > :16:05.an all-male, all-white cabinet. Arms aloft, as if in victory,

:16:06. > :16:07.despite the humiliation Dilma Rousseff left the presidential

:16:08. > :16:13.palace by the front entrance, still a heroine to

:16:14. > :16:18.Brazil's working classes. What is happening today in Brazil

:16:19. > :16:21.is important, because of the size of this country's economy

:16:22. > :16:23.and its past history The interim President might find

:16:24. > :16:27.favour with the money markets and big business,

:16:28. > :16:30.but to many he will be a usurper, and will find it hard

:16:31. > :16:36.to unite this vast country. While she won't be remembered

:16:37. > :16:39.as a great leader, Dilma Rousseff was beaten by a broken,

:16:40. > :16:41.corrupt political system Wyre Davies, BBC News,

:16:42. > :16:49.Brasilia. A brief look at some

:16:50. > :16:52.of the day's other news stories. An inquiry has found

:16:53. > :16:55.that the Youth Justice Board ignored at least 35 complaints going back

:16:56. > :16:57.seven years about how G4S, the private security

:16:58. > :16:59.company, managed three The details emerged in a report

:17:00. > :17:04.published into failures at the Medway Secure Training Centre,

:17:05. > :17:07.where BBC Panorama secretly filmed The Justice Secretary has confirmed

:17:08. > :17:13.that G4S's contract to run The NHS in England has

:17:14. > :17:25.recorded its worst performance Figures show that 1.2 million more

:17:26. > :17:27.EU migrants have received National Insurance numbers

:17:28. > :17:29.in the past five years than have Ministers said the gap

:17:30. > :17:33.could "largely be accounted for by short-term EU

:17:34. > :17:35.migration to the UK". Those campaigning to leave the EU

:17:36. > :17:37.said the National Insurance figures were "closer

:17:38. > :17:44.to the truth" on immigration. The Conservative Party has produced

:17:45. > :17:46.documents about its spending during the general election,

:17:47. > :17:47.after the Electoral Commission This morning the Commission said it

:17:48. > :17:52.had applied to the High Court to force the Conservatives

:17:53. > :17:54.to disclose the documentation as part of an investigation into

:17:55. > :17:57.an alleged breach of spending rules. The Commission says it has now

:17:58. > :17:59.received the documents For the first time, foreign

:18:00. > :18:08.companies that already have, or want to buy, property in the UK

:18:09. > :18:11.will have to reveal David Cameron announced the measure

:18:12. > :18:15.at today's summit in London on fighting corruption,

:18:16. > :18:19.attended by more than 40 countries. But campaigners say more should be

:18:20. > :18:22.done to increase transparency, especially around tax havens,

:18:23. > :18:23.as our diplomatic correspondent Tonight on Panorama,

:18:24. > :18:33.we expose the secret The leak of the so-called

:18:34. > :18:38.Panama Papers revealed that financial corruption is nothing

:18:39. > :18:41.if not global, with illicit money So today, presidents and ministers

:18:42. > :18:48.gathered in London to discuss how they could tackle a problem that

:18:49. > :18:51.David Cameron said has Corruption is the cancer

:18:52. > :18:58.at the heart of so many problems If we want to defeat

:18:59. > :19:02.terrorism and extremism, we have to recognise that corruption

:19:03. > :19:06.and lack of access to justice can often be the way that people

:19:07. > :19:14.are driven towards extremism. The Prime Minister began

:19:15. > :19:16.by promising to deal with London's reputation as a haven for money

:19:17. > :19:19.laundering, announcing that he would force all off-shore

:19:20. > :19:22.firms that own property in England and Wales to reveal their ultimate

:19:23. > :19:25.owners in a publicly Foreign firms bidding

:19:26. > :19:29.for Government contracts By being more transparent it

:19:30. > :19:36.will deter people who want to park The second is that if you have money

:19:37. > :19:40.already there, you will be exposed and you will know if your neighbour

:19:41. > :19:42.is Colonel Gaddafi's That would not have

:19:43. > :19:45.been clear before. But campaigners want

:19:46. > :19:51.the Prime Minister to go further and put pressure on Britain's

:19:52. > :19:54.overseas territories and Crown Dependencies

:19:55. > :19:59.to be more transparent. Today, some of those territories,

:20:00. > :20:01.like the Cayman Islands, agreed to share more information
