:00:00. > :00:08.With a month to referendum day, a new warning of big job losses

:00:09. > :00:14.David Cameron and George Osborne step up their campaign,

:00:15. > :00:17.citing a Treasury report predicting dire economic consequences

:00:18. > :00:23.This could be, for the first time in history, a recession

:00:24. > :00:33.As I stand here in B, it would be a DIY recession.

:00:34. > :00:35.But for Boris Johnson and his Leave colleagues,

:00:36. > :00:38.campaigning in Yorkshire, the latest warnings are deeply

:00:39. > :00:43.I think that they're rattled on the Remain side of the campaign,

:00:44. > :00:47.because they're putting out more propaganda.

:00:48. > :00:50.We'll be examining the latest claims produced by the Treasury,

:00:51. > :00:53.and we'll have the latest on the campaign.

:00:54. > :00:56.Also tonight - In Syria, Islamic State say they were

:00:57. > :00:59.responsible for bombings in cities controlled by President Assad.

:01:00. > :01:05.Paul Wilson died of a nut allergy, after eating an Indian meal.

:01:06. > :01:08.Today restaurant owner Mohammed Zaman has been

:01:09. > :01:15.Protests in North Yorkshire, as the council approves

:01:16. > :01:20.the first fracking operation in the UK since 2011.

:01:21. > :01:23.And as Louis Van Gaal confirms he's been sacked by Manchester United,

:01:24. > :01:30.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: Andy Murray

:01:31. > :01:33.fails to find his range, as he battles back from two sets

:01:34. > :01:36.down, before bad light forced an early end to his first-round

:01:37. > :02:04.Just a month to the EU referendum, and there's a new intensity

:02:05. > :02:07.to the debate between those who want to remain and those

:02:08. > :02:11.From David Cameron and colleagues came the starkest warning

:02:12. > :02:14.yet of the potential economic effects of leaving.

:02:15. > :02:16.They said it would be a self-destruct option.

:02:17. > :02:19.But the response from the Leave campaign has been dismissive.

:02:20. > :02:22.They say the warnings are blatant propaganda.

:02:23. > :02:25.And the SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon, who supports staying in, also warned

:02:26. > :02:27.that overblown Government warnings could alienate voters.

:02:28. > :02:34.Our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed, has the story.

:02:35. > :02:37.A month to go until the referendum, 30 more days for David Cameron

:02:38. > :02:40.and George Osborne to warn voters against what they call

:02:41. > :02:45.They chose B's head office in Hampshire to deliver both

:02:46. > :02:48.a pretty bad joke and a warning, leaving the EU would cost jobs,

:02:49. > :02:54.The shock to our economy after leaving Europe would tip

:02:55. > :03:00.This could be, for the first time in history, a recession

:03:01. > :03:07.As I stand here in B, it would be a DIY recession.

:03:08. > :03:10.This is the latest in a long line of gloomy assessments,

:03:11. > :03:13.from the Treasury, the International Monetary Fund

:03:14. > :03:18.Aren't you simply trying to scare people into voting to remain

:03:19. > :03:21.and given that you want to remain Prime Minister, whatever

:03:22. > :03:24.the outcome of the referendum, can you point to one economic

:03:25. > :03:27.benefit of Britain leaving the European Union?

:03:28. > :03:32.I think if you look at this forecast and take it together

:03:33. > :03:34.with other forecasts, you can see it is far

:03:35. > :03:41.Indeed, we're assuming in this document that a deal is done

:03:42. > :03:45.within two years between Britain and the European Union

:03:46. > :03:49.after we've left, which I think is very optimistic.

:03:50. > :03:52.In terms of your specific what are perceived advantages

:03:53. > :03:55.of leaving, that's obviously for those who leave to make

:03:56. > :03:58.the argument, I would say so far they have failed pretty dismally

:03:59. > :04:07.What does the Treasury's severe economic shock scenario look like?

:04:08. > :04:11.Let's start with GDP, our national income.

:04:12. > :04:15.The Treasury document suggests that could fall by 6%.

:04:16. > :04:19.It also talks about real incomes, saying they could fall by 4%

:04:20. > :04:23.and George Osborne suggested that would be at least ?800 for someone

:04:24. > :04:29.It also talks about unemployment and fears that could rise by 820,000

:04:30. > :04:32.within the next two years, if Britain does

:04:33. > :04:36.decide to leave the European Union.

:04:37. > :04:41.Well, if trade slows and economic uncertainty increases

:04:42. > :04:44.as the Treasury predicts, many believe the whole

:04:45. > :04:50.What the Treasury have essentially tried do is look at the effects

:04:51. > :04:52.of increased uncertainty, which would arise if we were to vote

:04:53. > :04:57.That very likely does reduce economic output,

:04:58. > :05:00.does reduce incomes relative to what they would have been before.

:05:01. > :05:03.They've come up with a set of forecasts which are at the upper

:05:04. > :05:06.end of, but not dissimilar to, those which a lot of other people

:05:07. > :05:11.So on the whole, this looks pretty robust.

:05:12. > :05:14.But will the economy suffer as much as this,

:05:15. > :05:16.the 1980s recession, which the Government claims could be

:05:17. > :05:21.The Chancellor from the time is dismissive, pointing out

:05:22. > :05:24.the Treasury has been wrong in the past.

:05:25. > :05:27.What they've done is they've assumed a disaster and then

:05:28. > :05:33.They've done this in order to scare the pants off the British people

:05:34. > :05:35.because they can't find anything positive to say

:05:36. > :05:40.They think that numbers are somehow more convincing than words,

:05:41. > :05:43.so if they make up the numbers, that is more convincing

:05:44. > :05:49.Even for fellow backers of the EU, there was a warning not

:05:50. > :05:54.I think we only have to look at the Scottish referendum to know

:05:55. > :05:57.that kind of fear-based campaigning starts to insult people's

:05:58. > :05:59.intelligence, can have a negative effect.

:06:00. > :06:02.I don't have complete control over how George Osborne

:06:03. > :06:07.I hope he and others will choose to campaign positively

:06:08. > :06:11.The Government is urging voters to be cautious,

:06:12. > :06:14.not to start on dangerous, do-it-yourself projects that

:06:15. > :06:16.could end, according to the Treasury, in disaster.

:06:17. > :06:19.But for Leave, this is about a brighter future,

:06:20. > :06:21.free from the shackles, as they see them, of the EU.

:06:22. > :06:29.As David Cameron and George Osborne stepped up their warnings today,

:06:30. > :06:31.their Conservative colleague Boris Johnson took the Vote Leave

:06:32. > :06:34.campaign bus to Yorkshire, insisting that the Treasury had been

:06:35. > :06:37.hopelessly wrong in previous forecasts and that there were very

:06:38. > :06:42.good economic reasons for Britain to leave the EU, with its stifling

:06:43. > :06:49.Our political correspondent, Vicki Young, reports from York.

:06:50. > :06:52.It's full throttle for the Leave campaign.

:06:53. > :06:55.Boris Johnson's critics say his views on the European Union

:06:56. > :07:01.But at a sports car factory in Leeds today, he insisted the EU

:07:02. > :07:09.Mr Johnson has accused his opponents of pumping out

:07:10. > :07:14.There's no doubt he can draw a crowd.

:07:15. > :07:24.I think that they're rattled on the Remain side of the campaign.

:07:25. > :07:26.In the centre of York he told onlookers it would be

:07:27. > :07:29.liberating for the UK to leave the EU and returned to one

:07:30. > :07:33.There are four directives of bananas.

:07:34. > :07:37.Do you think we need to be told by the EU what sort of bananas

:07:38. > :07:40.Putting Boris Johnson face to face with voters brings energy

:07:41. > :07:43.to the Leave campaign, but are people persuaded

:07:44. > :07:57.I just see a stronger Britain outside the European Union.

:07:58. > :07:59.Tonight, there was more pressing the flesh and a serious message

:08:00. > :08:05.If we vote leave, on June 23, I believe we will galvanise this

:08:06. > :08:09.country, our economy and our democracy, and we,

:08:10. > :08:14.in this country, will prosper and flourish and thrive

:08:15. > :08:21.With the headlines full of dire warnings about Brexit,

:08:22. > :08:26.the Leave campaign has struggled to set the agenda, but by sending

:08:27. > :08:30.Boris Johnson out to towns and cities across the country,

:08:31. > :08:32.they're hoping instead to generate enthusiasm amongst their supporters.

:08:33. > :08:44.Live to Westminster and talk to our political editor. With a month to

:08:45. > :08:49.go, let's talk about the tone of these campaigns, not least because

:08:50. > :08:52.you had Nicola Sturgeon today saying that overblown rhetoric, overblown

:08:53. > :08:57.warnings can back fire. I think there are doubts on both sides, to

:08:58. > :09:00.be honest. Whatever Nicola Sturgeon says about the Remain campaign,

:09:01. > :09:06.whatever some outers say about the mistakes or not of the vote leave

:09:07. > :09:09.official campaign, none of what we are seeing is happening by accident.

:09:10. > :09:13.It's all been carefully crafted, both sides believe that they are

:09:14. > :09:17.playing to their strengths. Day after day, we've seen the Prime

:09:18. > :09:21.Minister and the Chancellor side by side at shiny podiums, clutching

:09:22. > :09:26.official documents. They're trying to convey authority. Then we see

:09:27. > :09:31.again, day after day, Boris Johnson leaping off a battle bus, grabbing a

:09:32. > :09:35.microphone and jumping onto a soapbox. That side is trying to

:09:36. > :09:38.convey excitement, hoping to get their supporters fizzing with energy

:09:39. > :09:41.and dragging their friends along to the ballot box with them next month.

:09:42. > :09:46.They're doing that because both sides are trying to manage what we

:09:47. > :09:50.might call the enthusiasm gap. Private research I've seen suggests

:09:51. > :09:55.more than ten million people are very enthusiastic about the idea of

:09:56. > :10:00.leaving the EU, on the other side, only around five million people

:10:01. > :10:04.might be enthusiastic about actually staying in. That is a very

:10:05. > :10:08.significant gap, when it comes to motivation. Although they are ahead

:10:09. > :10:13.in the polls, you can see why George Osborne and David Cameron, day after

:10:14. > :10:17.day, want to make this feel like it really, really matters. Because in

:10:18. > :10:20.politics you can win all the arguments that you like, you can

:10:21. > :10:24.have all sorts of people on your side, but if you can't get your

:10:25. > :10:30.voters out to the polls, then you're sunk in. A month's time those polls

:10:31. > :10:32.will just have closed. My goodness, it's going to be tight. Thanks very

:10:33. > :10:35.much, Laura. And a reminder that you can get more

:10:36. > :10:38.analysis of the claims and counter claims around today's Treasury

:10:39. > :10:50.figures on our website: There have been a series of car

:10:51. > :10:53.bombings in Syria in two coastal cities controlled

:10:54. > :10:55.by President Assad. The group calling itself Islamic

:10:56. > :10:57.State said it was responsible. Syrian state media said at least 78

:10:58. > :11:00.people were killed in Tartous and Jableh, but activists

:11:01. > :11:03.put the number of dead Our security correspondent,

:11:04. > :11:14.Frank Gardner, reports. Syria, struck today in places

:11:15. > :11:24.many thought were safe. Four bombs sent by the so-called

:11:25. > :11:30.Islamic State ripped through the coastal towns of Tartous and Jableh,

:11:31. > :11:32.killing dozens, mostly civilians. TRANSLATION: The explosion happened

:11:33. > :11:36.as I was parking. I was standing here. The car behind me got burnt

:11:37. > :11:43.and I saw martyrs on the ground. This is not destiny. These are

:11:44. > :11:48.terrorist acts. This is significant. This is the

:11:49. > :11:51.heart land of Syria's President Assad's support base.

:11:52. > :11:53.The towns are also close to the Russian

:11:54. > :11:58.There are fears that this attack could even

:11:59. > :12:01.intensify the Syrian Civil War to the advantage of Islamic State, also

:12:02. > :12:06.We will obviously continue efforts to destroy Daesh in

:12:07. > :12:09.the region, we understand that Daesh represents a threat that is palpable

:12:10. > :12:15.Islamic State is coming under pressure on the battlefield.

:12:16. > :12:19.It is still a long way from being defeated.

:12:20. > :12:22.You can see here where they are active in the Middle East,

:12:23. > :12:25.they have certainly lost ground in the last 12 months.

:12:26. > :12:29.Most recently they had to retreat from Palmyra.

:12:30. > :12:33.Their control of the Syrian Turkish border has shrunk dramatically.

:12:34. > :12:37.But these latest attacks show that Islamic State is still capable of

:12:38. > :12:48.In Fallujah, the jihadists are now digging in for a long fight.

:12:49. > :12:54.The Iraqi government has sent its forces to try and retake that city

:12:55. > :12:59.from IS. But it won't be easy. If IS, also known as Isis, does lose

:13:00. > :13:05.Fallujah, then it's likely to lash out elsewhere, including in Europe.

:13:06. > :13:11.Isis today isn't as strong as it used to be in 2014, when it declared

:13:12. > :13:15.the caliphate and took over most of Iraq's city. However, it's able to

:13:16. > :13:16.claim attacks in places like Yemen and Libya, which we haven't heard of

:13:17. > :13:26.before. The fight for Fallujah could take

:13:27. > :13:27.months, while it rages, IS is likely to continue striking in unexpected

:13:28. > :13:45.places unexpected The owner of an Indian restaurant

:13:46. > :13:49.in north Yorkshire has been jailed of peanut, despite being warned

:13:50. > :13:51.that the customer, 38 year-old Mohammed Zamman was found

:13:52. > :13:57.guilty of manslaughter. It's thought the case

:13:58. > :13:59.will set a legal precedent for all food suppliers,

:14:00. > :14:06.as our correspondent, Paul Wilson knows he has a severe

:14:07. > :14:10.nut allergy, and tells the waiter, it's written down, "No nuts".

:14:11. > :14:13.But the meal the 38-year-old walked out with did have nuts in.

:14:14. > :14:17.Just before he ate it he called his mum.

:14:18. > :14:20.He was home, he'd got his curry and his last words were, "I love

:14:21. > :14:24.The restaurant owner, Mohammed Zaman, was today convicted

:14:25. > :14:32.With large business debts, he'd cut corners and swapped

:14:33. > :14:36.expensive almond powder for cheaper ground nut powder

:14:37. > :14:43.And it wasn't the first time a customer with a nut allergy had

:14:44. > :14:49.As soon as I tasted it, I could feel my lips swelling up

:14:50. > :14:54.Student Ruby Scott ordered a supposedly nut-free meal from one

:14:55. > :14:58.of Zaman's other restaurants a few weeks earlier, but it

:14:59. > :15:05.I don't know whether they just don't know how severe a peanut allergy is.

:15:06. > :15:08.I think a lot of people think it's just a stomach ache,

:15:09. > :15:13.but it is actually very life-threatening.

:15:14. > :15:19.On the night Paul Wilson died, police were quickly round here

:15:20. > :15:24.Zaman's food had again caused a severe allergic reaction.

:15:25. > :15:28.Then, astonishingly, the day afterwards,

:15:29. > :15:31.Trading Standards came here to buy a meal which apparently had no nuts

:15:32. > :15:34.in it, but when they tested it they found it had enough peanuts

:15:35. > :15:37.to potentially kill someone with the allergy.

:15:38. > :15:41.Police say the case sends out a warning.

:15:42. > :15:44.The message goes out that if anybody else operates their business

:15:45. > :15:47.in a similar sort of way they could possibly face prosecution

:15:48. > :15:53.Paul Wilson's parents say their only son was their whole world.

:15:54. > :15:56.His dad says Paul was his best friend.

:15:57. > :16:00.The restaurant owner responsible for his death repeatedly lied

:16:01. > :16:03.during his trial and was utterly indifferent to the health

:16:04. > :16:15.North Yorkshire County Council has taken the significant step

:16:16. > :16:21.of allowing fracking for shale gas to take place.

:16:22. > :16:24.It's the first time permission has been granted in England since 2011,

:16:25. > :16:27.following two minor earthquakes near Blackpool.

:16:28. > :16:40.The company, Third Energy, has applied to use fracking

:16:41. > :16:44.Our industry correspondent, John Moylan, is in Northallerton,

:16:45. > :16:45.where the planning meeting took place.

:16:46. > :16:51.Here in North Yorkshire campaigners have been fighting this

:16:52. > :16:54.plan for two years and today there was anger and disappointment that

:16:55. > :16:56.fracking in England has been given the green light.

:16:57. > :16:58.I'm devastated because I feel like our council has

:16:59. > :17:12.There has been a large probably Tory block vote where they

:17:13. > :17:15.didn't stand up and say why they are voting against what seems

:17:16. > :17:16.like eminently sensible reasons to refuse

:17:17. > :17:19.It was the most controversial application these councillors have

:17:20. > :17:23.In the end it passed with a show of hands.

:17:24. > :17:29.This is a landmark moment which put this well

:17:30. > :17:32.and this site at the forefront of the fracking debate in Britain.

:17:33. > :17:38.Now this decision could yet face a legal

:17:39. > :17:40.challenge but in theory they could be producing

:17:41. > :17:41.shale gas from here in

:17:42. > :17:45.the North Yorkshire countryside by the end of the year.

:17:46. > :17:49.The well at Kirby Misperton was drilled in 2013,

:17:50. > :17:53.fracking will take place at depths of 7000-10,000 feet.

:17:54. > :18:01.Sand, water and chemicals will be injected at high pressure which

:18:02. > :18:04.opens up fractures in the shale rocks allowing gas to

:18:05. > :18:06.escape and be pumped back to the surface.

:18:07. > :18:08.But in the village which is also home to one of

:18:09. > :18:14.the region's top attractions, there are concerns.

:18:15. > :18:17.We get 150 coaches a day in summer to Flamingo Land, where I

:18:18. > :18:21.So you tell me, how are we going to cope with the extra

:18:22. > :18:24.Concerns about health and the risks to health,

:18:25. > :18:26.particularly air pollution, although there is noise

:18:27. > :18:31.Third Energy could now be fracking by the end of the year.

:18:32. > :18:33.We are relieved and glad that we have

:18:34. > :18:42.That and the work that has gone into it should

:18:43. > :18:45.assure people that we will execute the work safely and without any

:18:46. > :18:49.Tonight the government welcomed the decision.

:18:50. > :18:51.Friends of the Earth said it was considering a judicial

:19:00. > :19:01.The United Nations says it wants to investigate evidence

:19:02. > :19:03.of civilian deaths - at the hands of Turkish

:19:04. > :19:04.security forces - fighting Kurdish militants

:19:05. > :19:16.Local people say up to 160 civilians have been killed

:19:17. > :19:19.in the town of Cizre - including 100 in a single incident.

:19:20. > :19:21.The deaths allegedly happened earlier this year -

:19:22. > :19:25.during a military campaign targeting the armed Kurdish group the PKK.

:19:26. > :19:27.Turkey, the European Union and the United States classify

:19:28. > :19:33.dismissed the allegations of civilian casualties.

:19:34. > :19:38.Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen sent this report from Cizre.

:19:39. > :19:43.In a beautiful place, these are dark times.

:19:44. > :19:44.War has come back to the

:20:16. > :20:18.three basements, looking for traces of at least 100 men, women and

:26:12. > :26:20.As Louis van Gaal left the training ground this afternoon there were no

:26:21. > :26:23.words, just a wave goodbye. His final act as Manchester United

:26:24. > :26:27.manager. Tonight, then made and that it was all over, Edward Wood

:26:28. > :26:33.congratulated van Gaal on his excellent work in the past few

:26:34. > :26:37.years. Adding that he had behaved with professionalism and dignity.

:26:38. > :26:44.Van Gaal said it had been an huge honour to manage a magnificent club.

:26:45. > :26:47.I believe that the foundations are firmly in place to enable the club

:26:48. > :26:54.to move forward and achieve even greater success. How different his

:26:55. > :26:59.mood was on Saturday, here at Wembley he celebrated as United won

:27:00. > :27:04.their first FA Cup in 12 years. The club had already decided his time

:27:05. > :27:07.was up. For the majority of clubs winning the FA Cup would be a

:27:08. > :27:13.springboard to the next season but for us it's been the finale. I want

:27:14. > :27:16.Manchester United to act in the best interests of the club, treat van

:27:17. > :27:21.Gaal right, he has had a great career, I'm only sorry it has ended

:27:22. > :27:25.this way for him. It started to seriously unravel for van Gaal in

:27:26. > :27:30.December when the club in George their worst form in 26 years. The

:27:31. > :27:34.team struggled to score and managed only 49 goals all season which meant

:27:35. > :27:39.they failed to qualify for the Champions League, missing out on

:27:40. > :27:42.goal difference. Now they turn to former Chelsea manager Jose

:27:43. > :27:45.Mourinho, today in London he gave no hint he was about to step into one

:27:46. > :27:50.of the biggest jobs in world football. He's a very intelligent

:27:51. > :27:55.manager, tactically very good and he gets the very best out of every

:27:56. > :27:59.player. Mourinho can be controversial but his methods bring

:28:00. > :28:05.success. This time United hope they have a manager who is the right fit.

:28:06. > :28:08.There have been further developments tonight, we understand that the

:28:09. > :28:11.announcement was delayed to allow Louis van Gaal to leave the country,

:28:12. > :28:15.they have made an offer to Ryan Giggs to stay and he will think

:28:16. > :28:19.about it, and the hierarchy will meet with the agent of Jose Mourinho

:28:20. > :28:22.tomorrow and that is when we think a deal will be agreed. Thanks very

:28:23. > :28:26.much, Katie. With just a month to go

:28:27. > :28:28.to the EU referendum - we're asking about the factors that

:28:29. > :28:31.are likely to influence the way people vote -

:28:32. > :28:34.and one of those factors is age. Recent polls suggest that 70

:28:35. > :28:37.per cent of those aged under 25 - It's very different

:28:38. > :28:41.for those aged over 65 - nearly 60 per cent said they'd

:29:03. > :29:06.how people react to their neighbours really depends on their generation.

:29:07. > :29:12.It's interesting, the generation that voted us into Europe, the EC

:29:13. > :29:15.back in 75 now wants to vote out and the generation that has never known

:31:20. > :31:21.on Britain's relationship with his neighbours across the water we

:31:22. > :31:23.decided to invite representatives of both groups to meet here

:31:24. > :31:25.on Eastbourne's historic pier. We took the search for common ground

:31:26. > :31:35.to the pier's tearoom. These Europeans are taking billions

:31:36. > :31:39.of money, why would you want to stay I think it is a matter

:31:40. > :31:43.of accessibility for us. A lot of us are training to be

:31:44. > :31:46.teachers and would like to be able to go

:31:47. > :31:49.and teach abroad and we feel that if we do come out then our chance

:31:50. > :31:52.of that would be jeopardised and it

:31:53. > :31:54.would not be so accessible. They are interfering

:32:16. > :32:17.and travel in Europe and might study in Europe

:32:18. > :32:18.and therefore I believe our views
