:00:00. > :00:10.Immigration and economic prospects feature prominently in the latest

:00:11. > :00:16.televised exchanges ahead of the EU referendum.

:00:17. > :00:18.Ukip's Nigel Farage said there was no possibility

:00:19. > :00:23.of controlling immigation if Britain stayed in the EU.

:00:24. > :00:27.If we have an Australian-style points system, rather than an open

:00:28. > :00:31.door to 508 million people, then actually it'll be

:00:32. > :00:37.better for black people coming into Britain,

:00:38. > :00:41.who currently find it very difficult because we have this open door.

:00:42. > :00:43.But David Cameron said the reforms he'd negotiated

:00:44. > :00:46.meant this was no time to walk away from the EU.

:00:47. > :00:51.People I'm sure will share many of my frustrations

:00:52. > :00:55.about the European Union, but frustrations with an institution

:00:56. > :00:57.or indeed a relationship are often not a justification

:00:58. > :01:02.They're an argument for staying and fighting for what you need -

:01:03. > :01:05.for jobs, for investment, for security for our country.

:01:06. > :01:07.We'll have the latest on tonight's exchanges,

:01:08. > :01:13.with just over two weeks to referendum day.

:01:14. > :01:17.Also on the programme: The founder of Sports Direct, Mike Ashley,

:01:18. > :01:22.admits it's unacceptable to paying some staff below the minimum wage.

:01:23. > :01:26.Mourinho and Chelsea reach a settlement with the former team

:01:27. > :01:32.doctor, who claimed she'd been victimised and forced to leave.

:01:33. > :01:36.Inside Aleppo, new images of the plight of the civilian

:01:37. > :01:46.population caught up in the Syrian conflict.

:01:47. > :01:53.We are on the brink of an historic, unprecedented moment.

:01:54. > :01:56.And, Hillary Clinton is now set to become the first woman to be

:01:57. > :02:02.Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: Ronald Koeman gets the green light

:02:03. > :02:05.to become the new Everton manager after compensation of around ?5

:02:06. > :02:32.Immigration and economic prospects have featured prominently

:02:33. > :02:35.in the latest exchanges tonight ahead of the referendum on Britain's

:02:36. > :02:41.Nigel Farage, who's campaigning to leave, and David Cameron,

:02:42. > :02:44.who's campaigning to remain, have both been answering questions

:02:45. > :02:47.from voters in a live television event on ITV.

:02:48. > :02:50.Mr Farage rejected criticism, made earlier today by the Archbishop

:02:51. > :02:53.of Canterbury, that the Ukip leader was guilty of legitimising racism.

:02:54. > :03:05.Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg watched the exchanges.

:03:06. > :03:11.He's waited years for this, so was never going to turn up discreetly. A

:03:12. > :03:17.moment of visible nerves for the man who has made a career of being

:03:18. > :03:21.blunt. He wants and needs to win. And despite his demeanour, the path

:03:22. > :03:30.to the referendum is proving far from smooth.

:03:31. > :03:39.Both politicians taking on the toughest challengers, not each

:03:40. > :03:41.other, but the voting public. Without hesitation, the audience

:03:42. > :03:46.demanded to know why believe him that the economy would be safe

:03:47. > :03:52.outside the EU? 12% is exports to the European Union. The other 88%

:03:53. > :03:58.This is specifically... It's also about jobs too. A report from the

:03:59. > :04:04.Government, so get that around your head, 32 billion. The agency is in

:04:05. > :04:07.London. It's all the medicines, all the ground-breaking ones for the

:04:08. > :04:11.whole of Europe reviewed in London and Brussels listens to us. You

:04:12. > :04:17.can't do that if you are not part of Europe. I am sorry...

:04:18. > :04:22.APPLAUSE. This is entirely and utterly false. Before long, rather

:04:23. > :04:28.than his warnings about immigration finding favour, several audience

:04:29. > :04:33.members turned instead on him. You have basically suggested that a vote

:04:34. > :04:37.to remain is a vote for British women to be subdued to the same

:04:38. > :04:41.horrific assaults. Just calm down there a little bit. She asked a

:04:42. > :04:44.perfectly... You know, sometimes in life, what it says at the top of a

:04:45. > :04:47.newspaper page and what you have actually said can be slightly

:04:48. > :04:52.different things. Look, I am used to be demonised. Are you not

:04:53. > :04:56.embarrassed that Justin Welby today said you are legitimising racism. I

:04:57. > :05:00.am sorry, I am not going to attack the Archbishop of Canterbury. You

:05:01. > :05:04.are anti-immigration. You have used scaremongering and inflammatory

:05:05. > :05:08.comments in your campaign that have gone against people that look

:05:09. > :05:11.non-white. Non-white British people, how are they going to stop facing

:05:12. > :05:14.discrimination about their identity in this country, that's what I

:05:15. > :05:19.really want to know? APPLAUSE. I am sorry... Look what he

:05:20. > :05:24.was ready to brandish when asked how leaving the EU would keep us safe.

:05:25. > :05:29.This is, should be a British passport, it says European Union on

:05:30. > :05:33.it. All right. I think, to make this country safer we need to get back

:05:34. > :05:38.British passports so that we can check everybody else coming in to

:05:39. > :05:43.this country. I really do. The project doesn't work. I want us to

:05:44. > :05:47.get back our independence but to say we will be good Europeans, we will

:05:48. > :05:50.trade with Europe. Co-operate with Europe, but govern ourselves. After

:05:51. > :05:56.a hostile half hour, the Prime Minister walked on to more tough

:05:57. > :06:00.demands. A damming verdict on the deal he brokered with the rest of

:06:01. > :06:05.the EU. You wanted to remove the free movement of people so that we

:06:06. > :06:13.could recruit skilled people from all over the world. Not baristas

:06:14. > :06:16.from the EU. You were Huw mill mated -- humiliated on that. Why are you

:06:17. > :06:19.saying the EU was wonderful, you were saying you would leave if you

:06:20. > :06:23.didn't get those reform as soon as What I said in the reforms I sought,

:06:24. > :06:26.I said we needed to be less of a single currency club so I wanted

:06:27. > :06:30.garn fees for the pound and I got those. -- guarantees. I wanted it to

:06:31. > :06:35.be less bureaucratic so I wanted targets to cut regulation, including

:06:36. > :06:38.on small businesses and I got that. Again, the audience turned to

:06:39. > :06:41.immigration. The Prime Minister pushed on the promises he made. I

:06:42. > :06:44.voted for new the last election because one of the things on the

:06:45. > :06:47.manifesto was to get immigration down. You haven't been able to do

:06:48. > :06:52.that because you are not allowed to do that. That's the bottom line. So,

:06:53. > :06:57.how are you - I can see my standard of living and my family's standard

:06:58. > :07:01.of living going down because of this influx that we can't control. Now, I

:07:02. > :07:07.am sorry to say but you are -- your closing statement last week was that

:07:08. > :07:10.if we leave the EU, we are rolling a dice with our children's future. I

:07:11. > :07:15.think quite the opposite, by you telling us to stay in you have

:07:16. > :07:20.rolled that dice already. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE.

:07:21. > :07:24.Obviously I don't agree with that. I think the biggest risk we can take

:07:25. > :07:28.is to pull out of the EU, pull out of the single market. We need to be

:07:29. > :07:32.in this organisation, fighting for British interests and for British

:07:33. > :07:36.jobs. Leaving is quitting. I don't think Britain, I don't think we are

:07:37. > :07:39.quitters. Which are fighters, we fight in these organisations for

:07:40. > :07:43.what we think is right. Like the wider public, the audience wouldn't

:07:44. > :07:47.swallow either side's case without complaint. Tonight's applause will

:07:48. > :07:54.have faded long before the arguments are won.

:07:55. > :07:58.Those exchanges ended about half an hour ago. Let's go to the Olympic

:07:59. > :08:02.Park in east London and Laura is there for us.

:08:03. > :08:07.What was your impression of the way that David Cameron and Nigel Farage

:08:08. > :08:11.succeeded or didn't succeed in getting their cases over? Well, you

:08:12. > :08:14.know, one man, Nigel Farage, came here tonight probably with not much

:08:15. > :08:17.to lose. One man, David Cameron, came here tonight with pretty much

:08:18. > :08:22.everything to lose. I think at the end of the debate really neither of

:08:23. > :08:26.them were winners. This was a very hostile, intense hour of

:08:27. > :08:30.conversation with the audience. The clashes were dominated by

:08:31. > :08:33.immigration. In a sense, I felt the audience was rather frustrated by

:08:34. > :08:36.what they heard from both of them. Nigel Farage was more or less

:08:37. > :08:41.accused of stoking up racism. The Prime Minister was accused of

:08:42. > :08:45.breaking his promises too. There was a sense, it's interesting and so

:08:46. > :08:48.telling when the public gets hold of politicians on debates like this

:08:49. > :08:52.that they somehow weren't satisfied with what they have been hearing,

:08:53. > :08:56.either in the last few weeks or tonight here at the Olympic Park.

:08:57. > :09:01.There is a sense that audiences and perhaps the wider voting public

:09:02. > :09:05.wants more answers, more clarity, maybe even still more information

:09:06. > :09:08.from their politicians. But we are hurtling towards this referendum now

:09:09. > :09:10.and there is nothing at all certain about new or different answers being

:09:11. > :09:18.provided. Thank you. People have until midnight

:09:19. > :09:20.tonight to register to vote The Electoral Commission says

:09:21. > :09:27.1.65 million people have applied for a vote since the campaign began

:09:28. > :09:30.last month but millions more The Commission says it's the last

:09:31. > :09:37.chance for people to take part. More than 200,000 registered online

:09:38. > :09:44.yesterday, the largest number on any day so far, as our chief

:09:45. > :09:46.correspondent Gavin Hewitt explains. My name's Harry and I am

:09:47. > :09:49.not registered to vote. My name is John and I am

:09:50. > :09:54.not registered to vote. My name's Emily and I have

:09:55. > :09:56.registered to vote. At Reading College the great divide

:09:57. > :10:00.between those who have registered to vote in the referendum

:10:01. > :10:04.and those who haven't. The deadline is midnight tonight

:10:05. > :10:12.and it's thought several million people have yet to register.

:10:13. > :10:15.Jonny Venner is a trainee plumber. It probably does affect me but I am

:10:16. > :10:20.not really interested Did you know that today

:10:21. > :10:24.was the deadline if you want Emily Withers is

:10:25. > :10:32.a trainee beautician. I mean, it's going to affect jobs

:10:33. > :10:39.and our laws. So, I think everyone should vote,

:10:40. > :10:45.if you have an opinion on it. These trainee chefs are certain

:10:46. > :10:48.they've registered. Historically, black

:10:49. > :10:56.and minority ethic groups have been under-represented

:10:57. > :10:58.on the electoral rolls. No, I haven't registered

:10:59. > :11:01.to vote at all. Have you thought about

:11:02. > :11:02.registering to vote? I have heard a lot about it

:11:03. > :11:06.but to me personally I don't feel it makes a big

:11:07. > :11:09.difference whether we stay Yeah, I registered last night

:11:10. > :11:17.because I knew the deadline was today and didn't

:11:18. > :11:19.want to risk it. Personally, I think it's probably

:11:20. > :11:23.the biggest vote I am ever Well, turnout could determine

:11:24. > :11:31.the outcome of the referendum. Yesterday, 226,000 people

:11:32. > :11:33.registered, many of them under But what's apparent here

:11:34. > :11:41.is the widespread confusion surrounding the

:11:42. > :11:45.registration process. What's relatively new is it's now

:11:46. > :11:47.every single individual's responsibility to make sure

:11:48. > :11:49.they are on the electoral They can't rely on a friend

:11:50. > :11:53.or relative or university They also have to add

:11:54. > :12:00.their national insurance number. Behind this battle for the votes

:12:01. > :12:04.of young people is The Remain campaign believes that

:12:05. > :12:10.a higher turnout with younger voters helps its cause more

:12:11. > :12:14.than the Leave camp. And if you still haven't received

:12:15. > :12:24.a polling card and want to vote you'll need to sign up

:12:25. > :12:31.at www.gov.uk/register to vote. Remember, you only

:12:32. > :12:43.have until midnight. The founder of Sports Direct,

:12:44. > :12:58.Mike Ashley, has admitted that some workers at its Derbyshire warehouse

:12:59. > :13:00.were paid below the minimum wage and that its policy of fining staff

:13:01. > :13:03.for being late was unacceptable. Mr Ashley was giving evidence

:13:04. > :13:05.to a parliamentary committee where he suggested that the company

:13:06. > :13:08.was perhaps too big MPs are investigating working

:13:09. > :13:10.practices, including claims of a culture of fear among staff,

:13:11. > :13:13.as our business correspondent It's a journey he

:13:14. > :13:16.didn't want to make. Mike Ashley, one of Britain's

:13:17. > :13:18.richest men, the founder of REPORTER: Have you created

:13:19. > :13:21.a culture of fear? After months of resisting,

:13:22. > :13:25.he was finally on his way to face MPs and, to begin with,

:13:26. > :13:29.he didn't have much to say. If I may start with the review that

:13:30. > :13:32.you announced six months ago. What is the current status

:13:33. > :13:36.of the review? But he soon acknowledged some work

:13:37. > :13:51.practices needed changing. If you were a minute late,

:13:52. > :13:54.you got docked 15 minutes' pay. He was also asked about long

:13:55. > :13:59.security checks at the end of a shift, during which workers

:14:00. > :14:01.were not paid. I am a little shocked at,

:14:02. > :14:04.for example, stuff such as the bottlenecks at

:14:05. > :14:10.security, to put it mildly. I don't think that is

:14:11. > :14:16.even slightly acceptable. Do you accept that the company

:14:17. > :14:19.was effectively paying workers On that specific point,

:14:20. > :14:24.for that specific bit of time, yes. It all happened here

:14:25. > :14:28.at Sports Direct's vast distribution centre in Derbyshire,

:14:29. > :14:32.manned round the clock by thousands of temporary agency workers,

:14:33. > :14:37.many from eastern Europe. But it is alleged this was more

:14:38. > :14:41.of a workhouse than a warehouse. This BBC programme revealed

:14:42. > :14:44.a culture of fear. Stuart Young was a

:14:45. > :14:48.security guard here. It feels like something out

:14:49. > :14:52.of Dickens, the way it's run, finding urine in bottles

:14:53. > :14:54.in the warehouse because they have been told they can't go

:14:55. > :14:57.to the toilet unless it Today, the union claimed it led

:14:58. > :15:08.to people coming to work when they were not well

:15:09. > :15:10.and countless ambulance You will see there

:15:11. > :15:14.were strokes in there. You will see there were five births

:15:15. > :15:18.or miscarriages or pregnancy-related issues in there, one

:15:19. > :15:21.of which was someone giving birth in a toilet and the last one

:15:22. > :15:26.happened in November of 2015. This was Mike Ashley on a recent

:15:27. > :15:32.visit to the site. Today, he reckoned such a high level

:15:33. > :15:35.of serious incidents was impossible here and last year Sports Direct

:15:36. > :15:38.said its workers were free to use Mr Ashley told MPs he could not be

:15:39. > :15:45.everywhere all the time. I'm not Father Christmas,

:15:46. > :15:48.I'm not sitting there, I'm You just have to try to get

:15:49. > :15:53.a balanced view and say, as an individual,

:15:54. > :15:54.would you tolerate that? And if I honestly believe

:15:55. > :15:59.it isn't, I change it. Do you think your company has

:16:00. > :16:02.outgrown your ability to manage it? This chain has grown

:16:03. > :16:09.incredibly fast. He said it went from a dinghy

:16:10. > :16:13.to an oil tanker overnight but Mr Ashley relied on an army

:16:14. > :16:16.of casual workers to do it. A business that now seems too

:16:17. > :16:19.big for him to control. He left pledging to make

:16:20. > :16:22.further changes if needed. He knows he now has to get himself

:16:23. > :16:25.and his retail empire bombing in Istanbul.

:16:26. > :16:42.seven policemen, have died in a car A bus carrying riot police

:16:43. > :16:45.was targeted during the rush hour. A bus carrying riot police

:16:46. > :16:48.was targeted during the rush hour. No-one has yet admittted

:16:49. > :16:50.responsibility for this morning's attack, the fourth

:16:51. > :16:52.in the city this year. Chelsea Football Club

:16:53. > :16:54.and Jose Mourinho have reached a settlement with the former

:16:55. > :16:56.first-team doctor Eva Carneiro, minutes before she was due to give

:16:57. > :16:59.evidence at an employment tribunal. Dr Carneiro left the club last year,

:17:00. > :17:02.after arguing with Mr Mourinho about the treatment of a player

:17:03. > :17:04.on the pitch. The settlement is confidential,

:17:05. > :17:06.but the club said it Our sports correspondent,

:17:07. > :17:17.Richard Conway, has the story. This was supposed to be

:17:18. > :17:21.Dr Eva Carneiro's day in court, but when Jose Mourinho,

:17:22. > :17:24.the most famous manager in world football, unexpectedly

:17:25. > :17:27.turned up at the hearing, it was a sign a settlement

:17:28. > :17:33.was close to being agreed. The roots of the dispute stem back

:17:34. > :17:36.to last August and Chelsea's first Premier League

:17:37. > :17:40.fixture of the season. Mourinho was infuriated

:17:41. > :17:44.when Dr Carneiro ran onto the pitch to treat an injured player,

:17:45. > :17:46.leaving his team a man down She claims he called her

:17:47. > :17:52.the daughter of a whore in Portuguese, something

:17:53. > :17:55.which Mourinho and Chelsea deny. Within weeks, she had resigned

:17:56. > :17:59.and launched legal proceedings. Today, Chelsea apologised

:18:00. > :18:02.unreservedly, but it seems sorry really is the hardest

:18:03. > :18:05.word for Jose Mourinho. As for their former manager, well,

:18:06. > :18:23.he thanked Dr Carneiro for the excellent and dedicated

:18:24. > :18:25.support she provided She had the courage

:18:26. > :18:32.to defend what she did. She's trained for years

:18:33. > :18:36.to get where she has. And it's good that she's

:18:37. > :18:40.now cleared her name, It supports the fact that

:18:41. > :18:47.what she did on the day was correct. On the opening day of this

:18:48. > :18:49.employment tribunal, there was astonishing detail

:18:50. > :18:51.about the particulars of Dr Carneiro's case

:18:52. > :18:55.against Chelsea and Jose Mourinho. Court documents showed that the club

:18:56. > :18:57.had offered ?1.2 million Today's agreement is confidential,

:18:58. > :19:04.with all parties, it seems, now keen to draw a line under

:19:05. > :19:07.the long-running saga. You know, Jose can go

:19:08. > :19:21.and concentrate on the big job Obviously, the doctor, Eva,

:19:22. > :19:27.she can look to progress in her career and possibly get back

:19:28. > :19:30.into football or whatever A dramatic day for all concerned

:19:31. > :19:38.and one that ended chaotically. The settlement now spares

:19:39. > :19:39.Jose Mourinho a cross-examination and any potential further

:19:40. > :19:42.embarrassment for himself Hillary Clinton is set to become

:19:43. > :19:54.the first woman to be nominated by a major party as a candidate

:19:55. > :19:57.for the US presidency. She's reported to have passed

:19:58. > :20:00.the milestone number of delegates needed to win the

:20:01. > :20:04.Democratic nomination. But supporters of her rival,

:20:05. > :20:06.Senator Bernie Sanders, Let's join our North America

:20:07. > :20:24.editor, Jon Sopel, Thank you very much and welcome to

:20:25. > :20:28.the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Why here? Tonight Hillary Clinton is hosting a

:20:29. > :20:33.victory party, six states are voting today from California to New Jersey

:20:34. > :20:37.and at the end of which she will be the presumptive Democratic nominee

:20:38. > :20:41.for the presidency. Although one of the news agencies called the victory

:20:42. > :20:43.yesterday, slightly marring the celebrations.

:20:44. > :20:47.In New York and across the US, Americans woke to the news this

:20:48. > :20:48.morning that was long awaited but is nonetheless historic.

:20:49. > :20:51.For the first time in this nation's history, a woman, Hillary Clinton,

:20:52. > :21:00.The Associated Press called the result for her.
