:00:00. > :00:00.Misleading, confusing and bogus - the verdict of an influential group

:00:07. > :00:09.of MPs on the claims made by politicians

:00:10. > :00:15.The Treasury Select Committee says the public is rightly fed up

:00:16. > :00:20.of the exaggerated arguments made by the Leave and Remain campaigns.

:00:21. > :00:23.What we've got is an arms race of claim and counterclaim.

:00:24. > :00:25.It's not just confusing the public, it's impoverishing

:00:26. > :00:30.But so far, little sign that the tone of the debate

:00:31. > :00:32.will change, despite the committee's scathing criticism.

:00:33. > :00:38.Barack Obama embraces a survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bomb,

:00:39. > :00:44.as he becomes the first sitting US President to visit the city.

:00:45. > :00:50.We're not bound by genetic code to repeat the mistakes of the past.

:00:51. > :01:01.Jailed - the driver who swerved into the path of an approaching car

:01:02. > :01:05.and left the two young girls inside it paralysed.

:01:06. > :01:08.The wife of Hollywood actor Johnny Depp obtains

:01:09. > :01:10.a restraining order against him after she accuses him of hitting her

:01:11. > :01:21.And teenage sensation Marcus Rashford becomes the youngest

:01:22. > :01:25.ever player to score on his England debut.

:01:26. > :01:27.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News,

:01:28. > :01:30.Alastair Cook falls short of his 10,000 test runs,

:01:31. > :01:33.out for just 15 as England close day one of the second Test

:01:34. > :01:59.What's been called an arms race of ever more lurid claims

:02:00. > :02:01.and counterclaims about the benefits of leaving or staying in the EU

:02:02. > :02:06.has been strongly criticised by an influential group of MPs.

:02:07. > :02:09.The Treasury Select Committee says the public are thoroughly fed up

:02:10. > :02:12.of misleading and, at times, bogus claims,

:02:13. > :02:15.and that a few grains of truth accompany a mountain of exaggeration

:02:16. > :02:19.and unqualified assertion by politicians on both sides

:02:20. > :02:27.Here's our Economics Editor, Kamal Ahmed.

:02:28. > :02:29.The home you live in, your weekly shop, your monthly bills.

:02:30. > :02:40.Why are we sending ?10 billion a year

:02:41. > :02:42.net to Brussels, some of which is spent on Spanish bull-fighting?

:02:43. > :02:45.Common sense says they sell us more than we sell them.

:02:46. > :02:48.It builds up to a profound economic shock.

:02:49. > :02:52.Common-sense, facts, a threat to our livelihoods.

:02:53. > :02:56.Whether it's how much the UK supposedly pays to the EU

:02:57. > :03:01.every week or how much worse off we might

:03:02. > :03:05.European Union, today's highly critical report gets to the heart of

:03:06. > :03:11.We have concluded that there are too many

:03:12. > :03:13.misleading claims and counterclaims being made by campaigners in this

:03:14. > :03:18.What we really need is an amnesty on this arms race, and

:03:19. > :03:22.bringing the debate back to something the public can understand.

:03:23. > :03:30.It's not just misleading the public, it's impoverishing political debate.

:03:31. > :03:39.The committee pointed out two main figures it said were flawed.

:03:40. > :03:41.The first is the Leave campaign claim that ?350

:03:42. > :03:43.million a week is sent to the

:03:44. > :03:46.EU and that if Britain left the EU, that money could be sent on

:03:47. > :03:50.The committee described the claim is highly

:03:51. > :03:53.misleading, saying it did not take into account the rebate the UK

:03:54. > :04:02.The claim by those backing staying in

:04:03. > :04:06.the EU that three million jobs are dependent on EU trade

:04:07. > :04:11.and that those jobs could be at risk if the UK left the EU.

:04:12. > :04:13.The committee says this could give the public a mistaken impression.

:04:14. > :04:16.Their report makes it clear it hasn't seen evidence to

:04:17. > :04:22.Trying to get the voters' attention is not easy,

:04:23. > :04:27.and both sides make big claims to grab headlines.

:04:28. > :04:30.It doesn't appear that that will be changing any time soon.

:04:31. > :04:39.The Treasury Select Committee has been clear that our

:04:40. > :04:43.economic shock, causing job losses and price rises, is right, but they

:04:44. > :04:45.reserve their strong criticism for the Vote Leave campaign, calling

:04:46. > :04:48.their claims that Britain sends 350 million to the EU misleading.

:04:49. > :04:54.I don't think it is misleading to say

:04:55. > :05:00.that is the amount of money we are paying into the EU.

:05:01. > :05:03.Yes, you get half back, but it comes back with

:05:04. > :05:05.strings attached and all sorts of other issues with EU auditors.

:05:06. > :05:09.A group of politicians here at Westminster

:05:10. > :05:11.has accused another group of politicians, also here at

:05:12. > :05:17.Westminster, of peddling a blizzard of lurid claims.

:05:18. > :05:19.But wade through this report, and it becomes clear that

:05:20. > :05:22.the committee believes there are some argument in this

:05:23. > :05:24.controversial area that are more reliable than others.

:05:25. > :05:27.It says there are some grains of truth, if you know where

:05:28. > :05:31.For this man, some support from the committee, which says there

:05:32. > :05:36.could be a short-term economic shock if the UK leaves the EU.

:05:37. > :05:42.We are going to flatten our opponents.

:05:43. > :05:46.Leaving the EU could reduce red tape and lead to new trade deals.

:05:47. > :05:49.Those points might be reliable but the

:05:50. > :05:52.question is, are they being drowned out by politicians overplaying their

:05:53. > :05:57.Let's talk to our Political Correspondent, Alex Forsyth,

:05:58. > :06:12.Where does this leave voters? How are we to make sense of it all in

:06:13. > :06:17.all the claims can't be trusted? Both campaigns are trying to ram

:06:18. > :06:21.home their key messages. For the Leave campaign, it's about taking

:06:22. > :06:26.back control, as they see it, or public finances and borders and, for

:06:27. > :06:32.the Remain camp, it's about the economic risks to the UK. Both sides

:06:33. > :06:36.will push those messages, almost regardless of criticism of the

:06:37. > :06:40.figures they use. That leaves voters trying to pick through the rhetoric

:06:41. > :06:45.and find the facts, which are there but not always front and centre.

:06:46. > :06:49.There is a risk that all of this turns people off from this debate.

:06:50. > :06:53.There is another danger. Public trust in politics right now is low.

:06:54. > :06:59.If people feel they are being misled on this crucial issue, it might fuel

:07:00. > :07:00.disillusion and distrust in Westminster politics well beyond

:07:01. > :07:02.this campaign. If you want to find out more

:07:03. > :07:06.about the claims being made by both sides in the campaign,

:07:07. > :07:08.you can visit the Reality Check section of the BBC website

:07:09. > :07:13.at bbc.co.uk/realitycheck. Barack Obama has become

:07:14. > :07:15.the first sitting American president to visit Hiroshima,

:07:16. > :07:19.where a US atomic bomb killed at least 140,000 people

:07:20. > :07:24.at the end of World War Two. Mr Obama didn't apologise,

:07:25. > :07:28.but said the memory of what happened He stood shoulder to shoulder with

:07:29. > :07:37.the Japanese Prime Minister. After he laid a wreath at the city's

:07:38. > :07:41.memorial, he hugged one of the few Our Correspondent John Sudworth

:07:42. > :07:44.is in Hiroshima tonight. John, this has been

:07:45. > :07:52.a highly symbolic visit. For more than seven decades, this

:07:53. > :07:57.building has stood as a monument to the world's first atomic attack. It

:07:58. > :08:01.is, there has been the reconciliation. America and Japan

:08:02. > :08:06.are firm allies. But the two competing narratives about the

:08:07. > :08:08.rights and wrongs of what happened here have remained an unbridgeable

:08:09. > :08:10.gap until now. 71 years ago, a US President sent

:08:11. > :08:13.a single bomb to destroy Today, a holder of that

:08:14. > :08:17.same office came here for the first time, standing next

:08:18. > :08:20.to the Japanese Prime Minister On a bright, cloudless morning,

:08:21. > :08:33.death fell from the sky A flash of light and a wall of fire

:08:34. > :08:49.destroyed a city, and demonstrated that mankind possessed

:08:50. > :08:54.the means to destroy itself. It's impossible to deny,

:08:55. > :08:56.of course, the deep The huge media presence

:08:57. > :09:01.are here to see the leader of the only country ever to have

:09:02. > :09:05.used an atomic weapon paying his respects in Hiroshima,

:09:06. > :09:09.a city that has come to symbolise From the instant

:09:10. > :09:17.of the first blast... President Obama has made it clear,

:09:18. > :09:20.though, that he is not here to offer an apology

:09:21. > :09:24.for an act his predecessors have But for many survivors,

:09:25. > :09:32.recognition of their suffering Today, they got that in an image

:09:33. > :09:40.that will resonate across Japan. I said to my friend, "Look,

:09:41. > :09:43.beautiful, aeroplane looks As she pointed, the bomb exploded

:09:44. > :09:53.in the sky above her. She still suffers the effects

:09:54. > :09:59.of the serious burns today. What do you think about the visit

:10:00. > :10:03.by President Obama to Hiroshima? I was very happy to hear that,

:10:04. > :10:08.because that is one But, as always, a short distance

:10:09. > :10:17.from the President stands an officer carrying America's

:10:18. > :10:21.nuclear launch codes. It's a reminder of the reality,

:10:22. > :10:39.on a day strong on symbolism There is, of course, Fiona, an

:10:40. > :10:44.element of strategic calculation about all of this, the two leaders

:10:45. > :10:52.reaffirming their own nuclear alliance in a region beset with

:10:53. > :10:55.security concerns. A rising Chinese nuclear superpower, and emerging,

:10:56. > :11:01.fledgling nuclear North Korea. Despite this strong gesture of

:11:02. > :11:06.peace, the risks of nuclear mischief or miscalculation in to be rising.

:11:07. > :11:08.-- appear to be rising. A driving instructor who crashed his

:11:09. > :11:11.car in a road rage incident, leaving two young girls paralysed,

:11:12. > :11:13.has been jailed for Andrew Nay was seen laughing

:11:14. > :11:17.and smiling just moments before he swerved his car into the oncoming

:11:18. > :11:20.vehicle carrying the two girls, Our correspondent

:11:21. > :11:25.Sangita Myska reports. Last October, Andrew Nay

:11:26. > :11:28.was the lead off-road driving instructor and manager

:11:29. > :11:32.at Jaguar Land Rover. Tonight, Nay is behind bars

:11:33. > :11:36.because his dangerous driving left Five-year-old Katrina

:11:37. > :11:41.and eight-year-old Karlina Raiba were in their parents' car

:11:42. > :11:47.when it was hit by Nay. This is the footage from the camera

:11:48. > :11:49.mounted on the dashboard It captures them driving along

:11:50. > :11:54.the A509 in Northamptonshire. Nay, in his company

:11:55. > :11:58.Land Rover Discovery, swings out at speed,

:11:59. > :12:04.headlong into the family's path. Andrew Nay turned so fast into that

:12:05. > :12:07.junction because he was chasing and bullying another driver he'd

:12:08. > :12:12.come across earlier in his journey. Witnesses at this court case say

:12:13. > :12:16.that they saw him laughing and smiling just seconds

:12:17. > :12:21.before the crash. The girls both suffered

:12:22. > :12:24.severe spinal injuries. Their parents, too, sustained

:12:25. > :12:27.multiple broken bones. Throughout the last eight months,

:12:28. > :12:33.they've helped nurse their children. Asking lots of questions

:12:34. > :12:43.about everything. I will spend all my life to give

:12:44. > :12:53.them the best of care. This is probably one of the most

:12:54. > :12:56.tragic cases I've had to deal This will go on for years

:12:57. > :13:02.and will affect them for years. Those involved with the Raiba family

:13:03. > :13:05.describe their plight It's unclear at this stage

:13:06. > :13:10.whether Karlina or Katrina A brief look at some

:13:11. > :13:26.of the day's other news stories. The UN says it believes people

:13:27. > :13:28.are dying of starvation The city is under siege

:13:29. > :13:31.as government forces try to recapture it

:13:32. > :13:33.from Islamic State fighters. There are reports that

:13:34. > :13:35.residents trying to flee David Cameron says Britain will send

:13:36. > :13:41.another warship to bolster Libyan attempts to staunch the flow

:13:42. > :13:43.of migrants across Once its mission is approved

:13:58. > :14:02.suggest that 23 athletes More than 250 samples

:14:03. > :14:05.from the 2012 Games have been re-examined

:14:06. > :14:07.using new techniques. The athletes' identities

:14:08. > :14:11.have not been revealed. More than 100 leading scientists

:14:12. > :14:14.say the Rio Olympics should be moved or postponed

:14:15. > :14:18.because of the Zika virus outbreak, The group says new findings

:14:19. > :14:23.about the virus make it "unethical" In an open letter, they call

:14:28. > :14:33.which bathrooms transgender students can use in schools

:14:34. > :14:37.continues to escalate. A 12th state has announced it's

:14:38. > :14:41.to sue the Obama administration after the White House told schools

:14:42. > :14:44.that transgender students should be allowed to use bathrooms based

:14:45. > :14:46.on the gender they believe The government move was in response

:14:47. > :14:52.to a law passed in North Carolina Aleem Maqbool reports

:14:53. > :14:56.from Fort Worth in Texas, which has become the latest

:14:57. > :15:01.transgender rights battleground. If you have male private

:15:02. > :15:02.parts, you should go

:15:03. > :15:04.to the boys' rest room. If you have female private

:15:05. > :15:06.parts, you should go

:15:07. > :15:09.to the girls' rest room. Parents at this meeting don't agree

:15:10. > :15:12.with the White House. They feel strongly that transgender

:15:13. > :15:15.school students should not be allowed to go

:15:16. > :15:19.to the bathroom of their choice. When officials here said schools had

:15:20. > :15:24.to allow that, many were outraged. If three girls are in the bathroom

:15:25. > :15:26.putting their lipstick on and all that kind of stuff

:15:27. > :15:31.and a trans...gender girl walks in then the three children that

:15:32. > :15:36.are talking about boys and putting

:15:37. > :15:39.on their lipstick have to walk out. And that infringes

:15:40. > :15:41.upon their freedom. I don't want to see any young man,

:15:42. > :15:45.15 or 16 years old, able to enter a girls' rest room.

:15:46. > :15:52.I can see that being a train wreck. this family took years to come

:15:53. > :15:57.to terms with the fact who was born male,

:15:58. > :16:02.identified as female. Ten-year-old Catherine,

:16:03. > :16:04.whose face we are not showing to protect her privacy,

:16:05. > :16:07.began the process of transition Do you feel any different to

:16:08. > :16:12.your friends? It changed a little bit

:16:13. > :16:20.during the first bit of school, but after that, it really

:16:21. > :16:24.went back to normal. Our daughter would love to be

:16:25. > :16:27.as discreet as possible, that the bathroom becomes something

:16:28. > :16:30.where, just like any of us, we don't think about,

:16:31. > :16:33.we just go, don't talk to anyone while we're in there,

:16:34. > :16:36.and come right back out and then we're done and we go

:16:37. > :16:39.about our lives. But some in positions of power

:16:40. > :16:46.clearly do think it matters. This man is leading an action

:16:47. > :16:49.by a growing number of states suing the Obama administration

:16:50. > :16:51.for telling schools transgender students can use bathrooms

:16:52. > :16:54.matching their gender identity. being able to go into girls' locker

:16:55. > :17:00.rooms and take a shower. I don't like the idea

:17:01. > :17:03.of boys being able to go I don't think it's good policy,

:17:04. > :17:09.but that's not my job. This is definitely a social change,

:17:10. > :17:14.and we are seeing them without without going

:17:15. > :17:20.through the proper process. The Attorney General insisted that

:17:21. > :17:23.when people look back he would be seen to be on the right

:17:24. > :17:30.side of history. But beyond the political back

:17:31. > :17:32.and forth are around 700,000 transgender

:17:33. > :17:36.Americans like Catherine The fear is that in an election

:17:37. > :17:42.year, this is one issue that is going to become

:17:43. > :17:45.all the more polarising, Aleem Maqbool, BBC News,

:17:46. > :17:52.in Fort Worth, Texas. A court in Los Angeles has ordered

:17:53. > :17:56.the actor Johnny Depp to keep away from his estranged wife,

:17:57. > :17:58.Amber Heard, after she The court was shown a picture

:17:59. > :18:04.of Ms Heard's face which she claims shows bruises inflicted by Depp

:18:05. > :18:07.after he allegedly threw a mobile Our North America Correspondent,

:18:08. > :18:21.Laura Bicker, sent this report. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard said

:18:22. > :18:27.their marriage was based on aid the connection, but now, after just 15

:18:28. > :18:31.months, it is over. And Amber Heard is not just filing for divorce, she

:18:32. > :18:36.is filing a restraining order. This was one of the photos given in

:18:37. > :18:39.evidence to the court. She claims it was taken after the actor through

:18:40. > :18:43.his mobile phone at her during a fight. She says he hit her and

:18:44. > :18:49.grabbed her face, and claims he was high and drunk at the time. Her

:18:50. > :18:54.sworn declaration states, I live in fear that Johnny will return to our

:18:55. > :18:57.house unannounced to terrorise me physically and emotionally. The

:18:58. > :19:00.Oscar-nominated actor, seen here at a charity event in Portugal, has

:19:01. > :19:08.been ordered to stay away from his wife. The couple's married life was

:19:09. > :19:13.mired in court appearances in Australia over a controversy that

:19:14. > :19:16.earned the nickname the war on terror is. Amber Heard's two dogs

:19:17. > :19:22.were staying at their holiday home on the Gold Coast, despite them not

:19:23. > :19:25.been declared disease-free. There are strict quarantine laws in the

:19:26. > :19:29.country. The couple eventually apologised. I am truly sorry that

:19:30. > :19:38.they were not declared. The dating Australia is important. Declare

:19:39. > :19:44.everything when you enter Australia -- protecting Australia is

:19:45. > :19:47.important. Johnny Depp's lawyer accused Amber Heard of filing the

:19:48. > :19:53.complaint in response to recent negative media attention. For a

:19:54. > :19:55.Hollywood couple who tried to shun the limelight, this is a very public

:19:56. > :19:57.break-up. Now, four weeks from today,

:19:58. > :19:59.we'll know the answer. Will the UK be staying in or leaving

:20:00. > :20:03.the European Union? All this week, we have been hearing

:20:04. > :20:06.people's views across the UK Tonight, we're focusing on England

:20:07. > :20:10.and Englishness. Our Home Editor, Mark Easton,

:20:11. > :20:17.reports from Knowsley on Merseyside. There's nowhere in Britain as white,

:20:18. > :20:22.English and Christian as Knowsley. Immigration has barely

:20:23. > :20:26.touched this area. Only 2% of residents were born

:20:27. > :20:28.outside the British Isles. But it's also the second most

:20:29. > :20:31.deprived neighbourhood in England, Experts have looked at all

:20:32. > :20:40.the numbers and concluded that this area should be among

:20:41. > :20:42.the most Eurosceptic I personally think we should

:20:43. > :20:49.stay in. The country is getting

:20:50. > :20:55.a bit too overpopulated. Pull up the drawbridge?

:20:56. > :21:00.Yeah, 100%, that's the word. I'm going to vote

:21:01. > :21:02.stay in. Really? Yes.

:21:03. > :21:07.Purely for security reasons. You will get a vote in a few weeks,

:21:08. > :21:15.which way do you think It's only a snapshot,

:21:16. > :21:24.but it does seem opinions are more nuanced than simple analysis

:21:25. > :21:29.of the polls suggests. The referendum issues

:21:30. > :21:32.are complicated and disputed, far removed from the realities

:21:33. > :21:37.of people struggling to get by in one of the poorest
