With a month to referendum day, a new warning of big job losses | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
David Cameron and George Osborne step up their campaign, | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
citing a Treasury report predicting dire economic consequences | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
This could be, for the first time in history, a recession | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
As I stand here in B, it would be a DIY recession. | :00:24. | :00:33. | |
But for Boris Johnson and his Leave colleagues, | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
campaigning in Yorkshire, the latest warnings are deeply | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
I think that they're rattled on the Remain side of the campaign, | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
because they're putting out more propaganda. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
We'll be examining the latest claims produced by the Treasury, | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
and we'll have the latest on the campaign. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Also tonight - In Syria, Islamic State say they were | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
responsible for bombings in cities controlled by President Assad. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Paul Wilson died of a nut allergy, after eating an Indian meal. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
Today restaurant owner Mohammed Zaman has been | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Protests in North Yorkshire, as the council approves | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
the first fracking operation in the UK since 2011. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
And as Louis Van Gaal confirms he's been sacked by Manchester United, | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: Andy Murray | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
fails to find his range, as he battles back from two sets | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
down, before bad light forced an early end to his first-round | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Just a month to the EU referendum, and there's a new intensity | :01:37. | :02:04. | |
to the debate between those who want to remain and those | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
From David Cameron and colleagues came the starkest warning | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
yet of the potential economic effects of leaving. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
They said it would be a self-destruct option. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
But the response from the Leave campaign has been dismissive. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
They say the warnings are blatant propaganda. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
And the SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon, who supports staying in, also warned | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
that overblown Government warnings could alienate voters. | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed, has the story. | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
A month to go until the referendum, 30 more days for David Cameron | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
and George Osborne to warn voters against what they call | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
They chose B's head office in Hampshire to deliver both | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
a pretty bad joke and a warning, leaving the EU would cost jobs, | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
The shock to our economy after leaving Europe would tip | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
This could be, for the first time in history, a recession | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
As I stand here in B, it would be a DIY recession. | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
This is the latest in a long line of gloomy assessments, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
from the Treasury, the International Monetary Fund | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Aren't you simply trying to scare people into voting to remain | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
and given that you want to remain Prime Minister, whatever | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
the outcome of the referendum, can you point to one economic | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
benefit of Britain leaving the European Union? | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
I think if you look at this forecast and take it together | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
with other forecasts, you can see it is far | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Indeed, we're assuming in this document that a deal is done | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
within two years between Britain and the European Union | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
after we've left, which I think is very optimistic. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
In terms of your specific what are perceived advantages | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
of leaving, that's obviously for those who leave to make | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
the argument, I would say so far they have failed pretty dismally | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
What does the Treasury's severe economic shock scenario look like? | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
Let's start with GDP, our national income. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
The Treasury document suggests that could fall by 6%. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
It also talks about real incomes, saying they could fall by 4% | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
and George Osborne suggested that would be at least ?800 for someone | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
It also talks about unemployment and fears that could rise by 820,000 | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
within the next two years, if Britain does | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
decide to leave the European Union. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Well, if trade slows and economic uncertainty increases | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
as the Treasury predicts, many believe the whole | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
What the Treasury have essentially tried do is look at the effects | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
of increased uncertainty, which would arise if we were to vote | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
That very likely does reduce economic output, | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
does reduce incomes relative to what they would have been before. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
They've come up with a set of forecasts which are at the upper | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
end of, but not dissimilar to, those which a lot of other people | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
So on the whole, this looks pretty robust. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
But will the economy suffer as much as this, | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
the 1980s recession, which the Government claims could be | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
The Chancellor from the time is dismissive, pointing out | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
the Treasury has been wrong in the past. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
What they've done is they've assumed a disaster and then | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
They've done this in order to scare the pants off the British people | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
because they can't find anything positive to say | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
They think that numbers are somehow more convincing than words, | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
so if they make up the numbers, that is more convincing | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Even for fellow backers of the EU, there was a warning not | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
I think we only have to look at the Scottish referendum to know | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
that kind of fear-based campaigning starts to insult people's | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
intelligence, can have a negative effect. | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
I don't have complete control over how George Osborne | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
I hope he and others will choose to campaign positively | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
The Government is urging voters to be cautious, | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
not to start on dangerous, do-it-yourself projects that | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
could end, according to the Treasury, in disaster. | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
But for Leave, this is about a brighter future, | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
free from the shackles, as they see them, of the EU. | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
As David Cameron and George Osborne stepped up their warnings today, | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
their Conservative colleague Boris Johnson took the Vote Leave | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
campaign bus to Yorkshire, insisting that the Treasury had been | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
hopelessly wrong in previous forecasts and that there were very | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
good economic reasons for Britain to leave the EU, with its stifling | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Our political correspondent, Vicki Young, reports from York. | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
It's full throttle for the Leave campaign. | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Boris Johnson's critics say his views on the European Union | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
But at a sports car factory in Leeds today, he insisted the EU | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
Mr Johnson has accused his opponents of pumping out | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
There's no doubt he can draw a crowd. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
I think that they're rattled on the Remain side of the campaign. | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
In the centre of York he told onlookers it would be | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
liberating for the UK to leave the EU and returned to one | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
There are four directives of bananas. | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
Do you think we need to be told by the EU what sort of bananas | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Putting Boris Johnson face to face with voters brings energy | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
to the Leave campaign, but are people persuaded | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
I just see a stronger Britain outside the European Union. | :07:44. | :07:57. | |
Tonight, there was more pressing the flesh and a serious message | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
If we vote leave, on June 23, I believe we will galvanise this | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
country, our economy and our democracy, and we, | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
in this country, will prosper and flourish and thrive | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
With the headlines full of dire warnings about Brexit, | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
the Leave campaign has struggled to set the agenda, but by sending | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Boris Johnson out to towns and cities across the country, | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
they're hoping instead to generate enthusiasm amongst their supporters. | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
Live to Westminster and talk to our political editor. With a month to | :08:33. | :08:44. | |
go, let's talk about the tone of these campaigns, not least because | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
you had Nicola Sturgeon today saying that overblown rhetoric, overblown | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
warnings can back fire. I think there are doubts on both sides, to | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
be honest. Whatever Nicola Sturgeon says about the Remain campaign, | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
whatever some outers say about the mistakes or not of the vote leave | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
official campaign, none of what we are seeing is happening by accident. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
It's all been carefully crafted, both sides believe that they are | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
playing to their strengths. Day after day, we've seen the Prime | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
Minister and the Chancellor side by side at shiny podiums, clutching | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
official documents. They're trying to convey authority. Then we see | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
again, day after day, Boris Johnson leaping off a battle bus, grabbing a | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
microphone and jumping onto a soapbox. That side is trying to | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
convey excitement, hoping to get their supporters fizzing with energy | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
and dragging their friends along to the ballot box with them next month. | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
They're doing that because both sides are trying to manage what we | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
might call the enthusiasm gap. Private research I've seen suggests | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
more than ten million people are very enthusiastic about the idea of | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
leaving the EU, on the other side, only around five million people | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
might be enthusiastic about actually staying in. That is a very | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
significant gap, when it comes to motivation. Although they are ahead | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
in the polls, you can see why George Osborne and David Cameron, day after | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
day, want to make this feel like it really, really matters. Because in | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
politics you can win all the arguments that you like, you can | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
have all sorts of people on your side, but if you can't get your | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
voters out to the polls, then you're sunk in. A month's time those polls | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
will just have closed. My goodness, it's going to be tight. Thanks very | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
much, Laura. And a reminder that you can get more | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
analysis of the claims and counter claims around today's Treasury | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
figures on our website: There have been a series of car | :10:39. | :10:50. | |
bombings in Syria in two coastal cities controlled | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
by President Assad. The group calling itself Islamic | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
State said it was responsible. Syrian state media said at least 78 | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
people were killed in Tartous and Jableh, but activists | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
put the number of dead Our security correspondent, | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
Frank Gardner, reports. Syria, struck today in places | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
many thought were safe. Four bombs sent by the so-called | :11:15. | :11:24. | |
Islamic State ripped through the coastal towns of Tartous and Jableh, | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
killing dozens, mostly civilians. TRANSLATION: The explosion happened | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
as I was parking. I was standing here. The car behind me got burnt | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
and I saw martyrs on the ground. This is not destiny. These are | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
terrorist acts. This is significant. This is the | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
heart land of Syria's President Assad's support base. | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
The towns are also close to the Russian | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
There are fears that this attack could even | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
intensify the Syrian Civil War to the advantage of Islamic State, also | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
We will obviously continue efforts to destroy Daesh in | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
the region, we understand that Daesh represents a threat that is palpable | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Islamic State is coming under pressure on the battlefield. | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
It is still a long way from being defeated. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
You can see here where they are active in the Middle East, | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
they have certainly lost ground in the last 12 months. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Most recently they had to retreat from Palmyra. | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
Their control of the Syrian Turkish border has shrunk dramatically. | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
But these latest attacks show that Islamic State is still capable of | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
In Fallujah, the jihadists are now digging in for a long fight. | :12:38. | :12:48. | |
The Iraqi government has sent its forces to try and retake that city | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
from IS. But it won't be easy. If IS, also known as Isis, does lose | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
Fallujah, then it's likely to lash out elsewhere, including in Europe. | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
Isis today isn't as strong as it used to be in 2014, when it declared | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
the caliphate and took over most of Iraq's city. However, it's able to | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
claim attacks in places like Yemen and Libya, which we haven't heard of | :13:16. | :13:16. | |
before. The fight for Fallujah could take | :13:17. | :13:26. | |
months, while it rages, IS is likely to continue striking in unexpected | :13:27. | :13:27. | |
places unexpected The owner of an Indian restaurant | :13:28. | :13:45. | |
in north Yorkshire has been jailed of peanut, despite being warned | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
that the customer, 38 year-old Mohammed Zamman was found | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
guilty of manslaughter. It's thought the case | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
will set a legal precedent for all food suppliers, | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
as our correspondent, Paul Wilson knows he has a severe | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
nut allergy, and tells the waiter, it's written down, "No nuts". | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
But the meal the 38-year-old walked out with did have nuts in. | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Just before he ate it he called his mum. | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
He was home, he'd got his curry and his last words were, "I love | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
The restaurant owner, Mohammed Zaman, was today convicted | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
With large business debts, he'd cut corners and swapped | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
expensive almond powder for cheaper ground nut powder | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
And it wasn't the first time a customer with a nut allergy had | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
As soon as I tasted it, I could feel my lips swelling up | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
Student Ruby Scott ordered a supposedly nut-free meal from one | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
of Zaman's other restaurants a few weeks earlier, but it | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
I don't know whether they just don't know how severe a peanut allergy is. | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
I think a lot of people think it's just a stomach ache, | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
but it is actually very life-threatening. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
On the night Paul Wilson died, police were quickly round here | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
Zaman's food had again caused a severe allergic reaction. | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Then, astonishingly, the day afterwards, | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
Trading Standards came here to buy a meal which apparently had no nuts | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
in it, but when they tested it they found it had enough peanuts | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
to potentially kill someone with the allergy. | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
Police say the case sends out a warning. | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
The message goes out that if anybody else operates their business | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
in a similar sort of way they could possibly face prosecution | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
Paul Wilson's parents say their only son was their whole world. | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
His dad says Paul was his best friend. | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
The restaurant owner responsible for his death repeatedly lied | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
during his trial and was utterly indifferent to the health | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
North Yorkshire County Council has taken the significant step | :16:04. | :16:15. | |
of allowing fracking for shale gas to take place. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
It's the first time permission has been granted in England since 2011, | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
following two minor earthquakes near Blackpool. | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
The company, Third Energy, has applied to use fracking | :16:28. | :16:40. | |
Our industry correspondent, John Moylan, is in Northallerton, | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
where the planning meeting took place. | :16:45. | :16:45. | |
Here in North Yorkshire campaigners have been fighting this | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
plan for two years and today there was anger and disappointment that | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
fracking in England has been given the green light. | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
I'm devastated because I feel like our council has | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
There has been a large probably Tory block vote where they | :16:59. | :17:12. | |
didn't stand up and say why they are voting against what seems | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
like eminently sensible reasons to refuse | :17:16. | :17:16. | |
It was the most controversial application these councillors have | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
In the end it passed with a show of hands. | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
This is a landmark moment which put this well | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
and this site at the forefront of the fracking debate in Britain. | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Now this decision could yet face a legal | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
challenge but in theory they could be producing | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
shale gas from here in | :17:41. | :17:41. | |
the North Yorkshire countryside by the end of the year. | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
The well at Kirby Misperton was drilled in 2013, | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
fracking will take place at depths of 7000-10,000 feet. | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
Sand, water and chemicals will be injected at high pressure which | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
opens up fractures in the shale rocks allowing gas to | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
escape and be pumped back to the surface. | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
But in the village which is also home to one of | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
the region's top attractions, there are concerns. | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
We get 150 coaches a day in summer to Flamingo Land, where I | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
So you tell me, how are we going to cope with the extra | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Concerns about health and the risks to health, | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
particularly air pollution, although there is noise | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
Third Energy could now be fracking by the end of the year. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
We are relieved and glad that we have | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
That and the work that has gone into it should | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
assure people that we will execute the work safely and without any | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
Tonight the government welcomed the decision. | :18:46. | :18:49. | |

The United Nations says it wants to investigate evidence | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
of civilian deaths - at the hands of Turkish | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
security forces - fighting Kurdish militants | :19:04. | :19:04. | |
Local people say up to 160 civilians have been killed | :19:05. | :19:16. | |
in the town of Cizre - including 100 in a single incident. | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
The deaths allegedly happened earlier this year - | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
during a military campaign targeting the armed Kurdish group the PKK. | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
Turkey, the European Union and the United States classify | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
dismissed the allegations of civilian casualties. | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen sent this report from Cizre. | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
In a beautiful place, these are dark times. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
War has come back to the | :19:44. | :19:44. | |
The long fight between Turkey and the PKK, the armed | :19:45. | :19:54. | |
For 78 days from December to March, the focus was Cizre, | :19:55. | :20:08. | |
When the Turks lifted the curfew and pulled | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
back local people went into | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
three basements, looking for traces of at least 100 men, women and | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
Only a few charred bone fragments were left, | :20:19. | :20:30. | |
local people believe Turkish security forces massacred | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
On the 30th of January Kurdish MPs were on the phone promising | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
When Turkish forces stormed into one of | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
Before the troops left they bulldozed flat the ruins of the | :20:46. | :21:04. | |
areas wrecked in the fighting, they had been PKK strongholds. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
No crime scene investigators were able to get | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
to the basements before they were filled with rubble. | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
The army took bodies away, Human Rights Watch | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
This man took me to the site of the basements, his | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
He says Turkey's European allies are letting | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
Turning a blind eye to get Turkish help with | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
Europe is blatantly watched all those atrocities because of the | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
I'm not bothered about Europe any more, what they did or | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
didn't do, the whole world is responsible | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
The UN wants to send human rights investigators to this wasteland. | :21:51. | :22:03. | |
There's no physical trace left of the lives that thousands of | :22:04. | :22:13. | |
civilians, Kurdish civilians, lived in this part of the town. | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
This is about more than personal tragedies. | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
It's deeply involved in the war in Syria | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
The EU hope that Turkey will be a big | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
part of the solution to the | :22:25. | :22:25. | |
So, instability in Turkey is a problem | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
for Europe, and it's a problem for the Middle East. | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
In Ankara, the capital, the government denies any | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
In March a suicide bomber from a PKK splinter group | :22:37. | :22:46. | |
The government blames the PKK for civilian deaths. | :22:47. | :22:55. | |
They did not allow people to leave their homes. | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
While we were there not one person complained | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
While we were there not one person complained to me | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
Well, Turkey would not kill its own citizens. | :23:12. | :23:24. | |
Turkey's military operations have moved on. | :23:25. | :23:33. | |
This is near the borders of Syria and Iraq. | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
The Turks say they are going to finish the PKK once and for all. | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
This woman isn't listening, her 20-year-old son was killed in | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
In Austria, an independent candidate and former | :23:45. | :24:02. | |
Green Party leader has won the country's | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
presidential election - narrowly defeating his far-right | :24:05. | :24:05. | |
Alexander van der Bellen was neck-and-neck with Norbert Hofer | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
after the initial count - but today after including postal | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
ballots - he was declared the winner with 50.3% of the vote. | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Our Europe editor Katya Adler is in Vienna. | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
The far right came very close here to winning and of course the | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
migration crisis has been a very big factor in the campaign so what will | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
the rest of the EU be reading into that? Of course Austria took one of | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
the highest numbers of asylum seekers in Europe last year and it | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
is struggling to integrate. Tipped to win was a candidate from the | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
right-wing populist Eurosceptic, Islam questioning Freedom party. Was | :24:58. | :25:07. | |
Austria returning to the far right? Could this be a taste of things to | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
come in the rest of Europe? In Denmark, Italy and France where | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
right-wing nationalists are gaining influence. The reality is less | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
black-and-white. Just over half Austrian 's chose a pro-EU | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
president, more than 2 million voters for the defeated Freedom | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
party wouldn't dream of calling themselves far right but rather | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
angry and scared about mass migration and economic uncertainty. | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
They say traditional parties and bigwigs in Brussels are listening | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
and a former Austrian Vice Chancellor said to me today, for the | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
trend to be reversed in Europe and in Austria, the window of | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
opportunity is closing. Thank you very much. | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
After two years in charge at Old Trafford, | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
Louis van Gaal has been sacked as manager of Manchester United - | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
despite winning the FA Cup on Saturday. | :26:00. | :26:01. | |
The former Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho, is expected to be | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
Our sports correspondent Katie Gornall reports from Manchester. | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
As Louis van Gaal left the training ground this afternoon there were no | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
words, just a wave goodbye. His final act as Manchester United | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
manager. Tonight, then made and that it was all over, Edward Wood | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
congratulated van Gaal on his excellent work in the past few | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
years. Adding that he had behaved with professionalism and dignity. | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
Van Gaal said it had been an huge honour to manage a magnificent club. | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
I believe that the foundations are firmly in place to enable the club | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
to move forward and achieve even greater success. How different his | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
mood was on Saturday, here at Wembley he celebrated as United won | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
their first FA Cup in 12 years. The club had already decided his time | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
was up. For the majority of clubs winning the FA Cup would be a | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
springboard to the next season but for us it's been the finale. I want | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
Manchester United to act in the best interests of the club, treat van | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
Gaal right, he has had a great career, I'm only sorry it has ended | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
this way for him. It started to seriously unravel for van Gaal in | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
December when the club in George their worst form in 26 years. The | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
team struggled to score and managed only 49 goals all season which meant | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
they failed to qualify for the Champions League, missing out on | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
goal difference. Now they turn to former Chelsea manager Jose | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
Mourinho, today in London he gave no hint he was about to step into one | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
of the biggest jobs in world football. He's a very intelligent | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
manager, tactically very good and he gets the very best out of every | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
player. Mourinho can be controversial but his methods bring | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
success. This time United hope they have a manager who is the right fit. | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
There have been further developments tonight, we understand that the | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
announcement was delayed to allow Louis van Gaal to leave the country, | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
they have made an offer to Ryan Giggs to stay and he will think | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
about it, and the hierarchy will meet with the agent of Jose Mourinho | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
tomorrow and that is when we think a deal will be agreed. Thanks very | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
much, Katie. With just a month to go | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
to the EU referendum - we're asking about the factors that | :28:27. | :28:28. | |
are likely to influence the way people vote - | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
and one of those factors is age. Recent polls suggest that 70 | :28:32. | :28:34. | |
per cent of those aged under 25 - It's very different | :28:35. | :28:37. | |
for those aged over 65 - nearly 60 per cent said they'd | :28:38. | :28:41. | |
vote to leave. Our home editor Mark Easton | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
is in Eastbourne with more This is a town that likes to look | :28:45. | :28:58. | |
out at the pier and across the water to its continental neighbours. And | :28:59. | :29:02. | |
how people react to their neighbours really depends on their generation. | :29:03. | :29:06. | |
It's interesting, the generation that voted us into Europe, the EC | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
back in 75 now wants to vote out and the generation that has never known | :29:13. | :29:15. | |
anything different wants to vote in and I've been trying to find out | :29:16. | :29:17. | |
why. -- the EEC. On England's southern shore | :29:18. | :29:20. | |
Eastbourne is a mix of young and Some parts of the town full | :29:21. | :29:22. | |
of student digs and in others the At an over 50s club | :29:23. | :29:27. | |

they'll be voting to leave the EU. Where you live, 80-odd people, | :29:34. | :29:41. | |
overwhelming support for Out? I think basically they probably want | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
to get the England that they knew We are diminishing | :29:46. | :29:48. | |
with our say, we are just one in eight or nine, | :29:49. | :29:57. | |
now one in 32, we're I think it's ridiculous that the EU | :29:58. | :30:00. | |
have dictated to us over immigration, that we've got no | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
control over our borders. Across town students dance | :30:07. | :30:08. | |
to a different tune. Among these trainee physical | :30:09. | :30:19. | |
education teachers, every single | :30:20. | :30:21. | |
person tells me they'll be I think your generation appears | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
to be more comfortable with Times have changed from the way | :30:28. | :30:30. | |
that our grandads and grandmas' generation, diversity has | :30:31. | :30:37. | |
become more accepted. I don't do the same things as my | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
grandma used to do back in the day. There is an argument | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
that huge numbers of Europeans coming to | :30:46. | :30:52. | |
the I can't think of one British thing | :30:53. | :30:53. | |
that we have to lose. You do have immigrants who can cause | :30:54. | :31:01. | |
problems and everyone are worried about, but then again | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
you have immigrants who come in who have contributed | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
to our country so much. With such different views | :31:11. | :31:19. | |
on Britain's relationship with his neighbours across the water we | :31:20. | :31:21. | |
decided to invite representatives of both groups to meet here | :31:22. | :31:23. | |
on Eastbourne's historic pier. We took the search for common ground | :31:24. | :31:25. | |
to the pier's tearoom. These Europeans are taking billions | :31:26. | :31:35. | |
of money, why would you want to stay I think it is a matter | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
of accessibility for us. A lot of us are training to be | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
teachers and would like to be able to go | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
and teach abroad and we feel that if we do come out then our chance | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
of that would be jeopardised and it | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
would not be so accessible. They are interfering | :31:53. | :31:54. | |
with our way of life. We didn't ask them to | :31:55. | :31:56. | |
but they are Everybody keeps coming over to us | :31:57. | :31:58. | |
and we are going over to I didn't mean to sound | :31:59. | :32:06. | |
rude but we are going to be here longer | :32:07. | :32:09. | |
than you are so therefore we should have more say on it | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
because we are the ones who like to go to Europe | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
and travel in Europe and might study in Europe | :32:16. | :32:17. | |
and therefore I believe our views | :32:18. | :32:18. | |
are more valid than yours. Actually older people are much more | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
likely to vote in the referendum than | :32:22. | :32:23. | |
the young, so their voice will be Young or old, it's who takes part | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
that may well decide Britain's future relationship | :32:26. | :32:32. | |
with its neighbours over the water. A quick reminder that Newsnight is | :32:33. | :32:45. | |
coming on BBC Two, special programme asking what kind of country the UK | :32:46. | :32:47. | |
would be | :32:48. | :32:48. |
