:03:10. > :03:17.The other team, arriving one by one but with a single position to defend
:03:18. > :03:22.and the audience, all dressed up with a debate to go.
:03:23. > :03:26.Six of the main campaigners from both sides of the EU referendum
:03:27. > :03:30.debate will go head-to-head. Immigration, the obvious first
:03:31. > :03:34.subjected... Which decision, Leave or Remain, allows us to put in place
:03:35. > :03:40.the appropriate controls to ensure that we have immigration that only
:03:41. > :03:44.improves and adds to our country? I'm massively pro immigration, I'm
:03:45. > :03:49.the descendent of Turks and proud of it, too, but there has to be
:03:50. > :03:53.democratic concept of the scale of the flows we are seeing Australia is
:03:54. > :03:56.a massive country with a small population. They choose because they
:03:57. > :04:00.have a controlled system. If we have a controlled system, we can choose.
:04:01. > :04:05.Within minutes, Boris Johnson, the obvious political target for the
:04:06. > :04:08.other side. I want to do what Boris once said he would do, make the case
:04:09. > :04:13.for immigration and the contribution it makes. This is a complex problem.
:04:14. > :04:18.There isn't a silver Bullet. I know that's what Boris and his team would
:04:19. > :04:22.like to have. But we need to look at the numbers. I fear the only number
:04:23. > :04:27.bore sis interested in, is the one that says Number Ten. Then a vicious
:04:28. > :04:33.spat over the disputed claim by vote Leave that EU membership costs ?3
:04:34. > :04:39.#r50 million a week. It doesn't cost ?350 million to be a member of the
:04:40. > :04:43.EU and you know that's not true and you have emblazoned it across your
:04:44. > :04:48.bus. It is a bit rich, to hear the man who used to say we should be
:04:49. > :04:52.charged for using the NHS, pretend he is now the deferned of the NHS.
:04:53. > :04:55.I'm staggered that Boris Johnson is standing here tonight still
:04:56. > :05:00.defending this ?350 million a week figure. It is a scandal that's still
:05:01. > :05:04.emblazoned across the campaign bus, it is an absolute whopper. Boris
:05:05. > :05:10.Johnson, again, drawing the most fire from the other side.
:05:11. > :05:16.Get that lie off your bus. What we are going to do is repaint that bus.
:05:17. > :05:24.A leprechaun on one end a rainbow on one side and a pot of gold at the
:05:25. > :05:28.end. It is true and verifiable there is slightly more than ?350 million a
:05:29. > :05:33.week we do not control. Huge sums of it go to Brussels and never come
:05:34. > :05:36.back. Then to the nub of it all - would we be richer or poorer? What
:05:37. > :05:41.would the economy look like f we left? If the country votes, in 14
:05:42. > :05:46.days, and we have no idea, whatsoever, from the Leave campaign,
:05:47. > :05:50.what would be happening if... No idea from the Remain campaign No
:05:51. > :05:53.idea what would be happening with our trade. You cannot tell us
:05:54. > :05:57.whether you would do a deal or wouldn't. You have said you would
:05:58. > :06:01.come out of the single market but haven't said what you would replace
:06:02. > :06:04.it with. Can we stop this as Nicola Sturegon rightly said, a miserable
:06:05. > :06:10.negative fear-based campaign. People will see through it.
:06:11. > :06:16.This is not about any of us here on the panel. This is not about the
:06:17. > :06:20.current Government. This is a once in a generation choice as to who you
:06:21. > :06:25.think should have control over the majority of the money which we
:06:26. > :06:29.spend. Boris, you don't seem to care about the millions of jobs that will
:06:30. > :06:35.be at risk if we leave the EU. I think you only care about one job, a
:06:36. > :06:38.and that's your next one. I don't think that you care...
:06:39. > :06:42.APPLAUSE Again and again, outers brought it
:06:43. > :06:47.on to immigration. On the seats of our city, on the streets of London,
:06:48. > :06:50.because of European judges there are terrorists and murders and very
:06:51. > :06:53.serious criminals we cannot deport because the European Court is taking
:06:54. > :06:58.control over that kind of question, and I think we should take that
:06:59. > :07:04.control back. Thank you. Again and again, the intrio took the
:07:05. > :07:07.fight to Mr Johnson. Boris Johnson is not interested in your job or
:07:08. > :07:13.your position, he is only interested in David Cameron's job. Thank you.
:07:14. > :07:18.Labour has still to produce a woman leader of the party - although maybe
:07:19. > :07:23.Angela Eagle will sort that out at some stage. Boris, beware of the
:07:24. > :07:26.blonde bomb shell. There wasn't quite a six-person shouting match
:07:27. > :07:29.but... How account public really trust what any of you are saying?
:07:30. > :07:34.Think about whether it is actually going to make us stronger, safer and
:07:35. > :07:38.better-off by being in it. I ask you to think more about what we have
:07:39. > :07:44.gained. The longest, uninterrupted period of peace in modern history.
:07:45. > :07:48.The world's biggest single market of ?500 million people, to sell our
:07:49. > :07:50.goods and services into. There is a contrast between this side of the
:07:51. > :07:54.argument that's offering hope, and that side of the argument that is
:07:55. > :07:58.offering nothing but fear about life outside. They say that we can't do
:07:59. > :08:04.it on our own, they say that we can't leave the EU. We say that we
:08:05. > :08:09.can. This referendum is not a debating society event. Tonight's
:08:10. > :08:10.clashes part of a brutal campaign that could change our country for
:08:11. > :08:12.good. Laura Kuenssberg is outside
:08:13. > :08:21.the London studios where It was heated and frank at times,
:08:22. > :08:24.Laura, what impact do you think tonight may have on the referendum
:08:25. > :08:28.debate? Well, Clive, as is inevitable at these kind of events
:08:29. > :08:32.within the last couple of minute, both sides in this big argument have
:08:33. > :08:36.claimed victory N truth, I don't think there was a slam dunk or a
:08:37. > :08:39.hands-down show for either of the two trios, the clashes were mainly
:08:40. > :08:44.on immigration and the economy, as you would expect. What I do think
:08:45. > :08:48.was notable was two things -- just how bad-tempered it was, really
:08:49. > :08:52.throughout the two hours. Actually on every subject and almost between
:08:53. > :08:57.every politician. Also notable was what seemed to be an entirely
:08:58. > :09:01.deliberate strategy from the Remain side, to go after Boris Johnson,
:09:02. > :09:04.again and again. And essentially accuse him of putting his ambition
:09:05. > :09:11.before anything to do with this referendum. Accusing him time and
:09:12. > :09:14.again, even his own Tory Cabinet colleague, amber Rudd saying he is
:09:15. > :09:17.only in the fight because he is after David Cameron's job. I think
:09:18. > :09:21.the performances by individual politicians, when there are six of
:09:22. > :09:24.them, inevitably, was probably pretty patchy. I think overall this
:09:25. > :09:28.hasn't necessarily shifted the momentum of this campaign, but this
:09:29. > :09:32.was a big, important revent. The fist chance for many viewers to have
:09:33. > :09:36.a good look and a good listen to some of the arguments. Undoubtedly,
:09:37. > :09:40.some people will have been influenced by what they have seen
:09:41. > :09:46.and heard, but in terms of changing the dynamics of this campaign, I'm
:09:47. > :09:48.not sure much has changed. Thank you for that, Laura.
:09:49. > :09:51.And two former Prime Ministers, John Major and Tony Blair,
:09:52. > :09:53.have set aside their political differences to issue a stark
:09:54. > :09:55.warning about what they believe would happen, if Britain
:09:56. > :10:09.They said the UK could be torn apart, speaking in Londonderry.
:10:10. > :10:11.But there was swift reaction from Northern Ireland's First
:10:12. > :10:13.Minister Arlene Foster, who wants the UK to leave the EU.
:10:14. > :10:15.She called the intervention "disgraceful".
:10:16. > :10:16.Our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar reports.
:10:17. > :10:19.Two retirees on a morning stroll except John Major and Tony Blair
:10:20. > :10:21.were in Northern Ireland on business, walking the famous
:10:22. > :10:28.They'd agreed an identical warning - the European Union and the gains
:10:29. > :10:31.of a peace they both brokered could be lost, and the UK
:10:32. > :10:36.If they'd been ageing rock stars, they'd have called
:10:37. > :10:39.The school-age audience was too young to vote, too
:10:40. > :10:45.The unity of the United Kingdom, itself, is on the ballot
:10:46. > :10:51.Don't let them take risks with Northern Ireland's future.
:10:52. > :10:57.Don't let them undermine our United Kingdom.
:10:58. > :11:01.Was he saying peace itself was at risk?
:11:02. > :11:05.No-one is saying the peace process is going to break apart the day
:11:06. > :11:07.after if you vote to leave but one of the elements fundamental
:11:08. > :11:17.to that peace process, which is Republic of Ireland,
:11:18. > :11:20.UK, both in the European Union, no border between North and South,
:11:21. > :11:25.A familiar scene at the height of the Troubles,
:11:26. > :11:27.but it's been peaceful for years and Northern Ireland's leavers hit
:11:28. > :11:31.In my experience, the commitment of people in Northern Ireland
:11:32. > :11:35.to the political settlement, and to exclusively peaceful
:11:36. > :11:38.and democratic means to determine Northern Ireland's future,
:11:39. > :11:42.I think that commitment is rock solid.
:11:43. > :11:45.To say that it would somehow waver or become less resolute
:11:46. > :11:48.if there was a democratic vote to leave the EU, I think is not
:11:49. > :11:53.only unjustified but, actually pretty irresponsible.
:11:54. > :11:56.I do find it rather disgraceful, for two Prime Ministers,
:11:57. > :11:59.who know full well the importance of the peace process
:12:00. > :12:04.here in Northern Ireland, to come over here and suggest that
:12:05. > :12:07.a vote in a particular direction is going to undermine that,
:12:08. > :12:10.That wasn't all, though, Sir John Major was saying Scots
:12:11. > :12:14.might want out of the UK, if the UK wanted out of the EU.
:12:15. > :12:15.Hadn't Downing Street said one referendum was enough?
:12:16. > :12:18.If the country demanded that, it would be politically impossible
:12:19. > :12:23.You can't keep people in a country by force.
:12:24. > :12:25.If demand was sufficient, one would have to
:12:26. > :12:31.Today's young audience, like so many others, were split.
:12:32. > :12:34.I don't feel like any of the problems that they presented
:12:35. > :12:36.in there couldn't be dealt with by our community
:12:37. > :12:43.I just think they were trying to scare us.
:12:44. > :12:48.They made some really, really fair points about staying in the EU.
:12:49. > :12:51.I think I would, if I could vote, to stay in the EU.
:12:52. > :12:55.Here, as across the UK, it is about the economy, borders,
:12:56. > :12:59.migration and the high stakes in play and the fact
:13:00. > :13:01.it is impossible to call the outcome has made it brutal.
:13:02. > :13:04.The wounds being inflicted back and forth may be impossible to heal
:13:05. > :13:07.Just now the voters in Northern Ireland
:13:08. > :13:09.and across the United Kingdom have a more immediate problem,
:13:10. > :13:14.deciding their and their country's future for decades to come.
:13:15. > :13:17.So, two former Prime Ministers were here today, back
:13:18. > :13:20.in the front line of politics, to defend their legacy and try,
:13:21. > :13:24.once more, to persuade voters to share their vision of the country
:13:25. > :13:40.No one from MI6 will face prosecution, after the alleged
:13:41. > :13:42.detention and torture in 2004, of an opponent of the former Libyan
:13:43. > :13:47.Abdel Hakim Belhadj is one of two men, who claim the British
:13:48. > :14:03.intelligence service played a significant part in his rendition,
:14:04. > :14:09.Our Security Correspondent Gordon Corera has more.
:14:10. > :14:13.The man who says he was sent by Britain to Libya to be tortured.
:14:14. > :14:15.With his wife, speaking for the first time on TV,
:14:16. > :14:19.They are angry at today's decision that no-one will face
:14:20. > :14:22.TRANSLATION: I'm very disappointed that individuals responsible
:14:23. > :14:24.If there is political interference with the courts,
:14:25. > :14:28.Abdel Hakim Belhadj is an Islamist who fought to overthrow
:14:29. > :14:34.When Tony Blair embraced Colonel Gaddafi in 2004,
:14:35. > :14:36.as relations were warming up, British spies were helping
:14:37. > :14:39.the Libyan leader get hold of his opponents.
:14:40. > :14:42.It was only when Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011 that details
:14:43. > :14:54.first publicly emerged, suggesting MI6 had worked
:14:55. > :14:57.with the CIA to send Belhadj and another man to Libya.
:14:58. > :14:59.Documents were found in Gaddafi's ram sacked intelligence
:15:00. > :15:07.Belhadj is referred to as a terrorist in letters
:15:08. > :15:09.allegedly written by Sir Mark Allen, then MI6's head
:15:10. > :15:12.One document reminds the Libyans that the intelligence
:15:13. > :15:14.behind his capture by the CIA was British.
:15:15. > :15:17.Though it says the Americans paid for what's called the "air cargo".
:15:18. > :15:20.That air cargo included Belhadj's wife, six months' pregnant
:15:21. > :15:27.at the time and strapped on to a stretcher for the journey.
:15:28. > :15:30.My hands and legs were tied and my eyes were covered.
:15:31. > :15:40.I was so scared that I was going to die.
:15:41. > :15:42.She was released after four months but her husband was held
:15:43. > :15:48.for six years and says he was tortured by the Libyans.
:15:49. > :15:52.The emergence of the documents led to a police investigation into MI6
:15:53. > :15:56.which produced 28,000 pages of evidence.
:15:57. > :15:59.But, today the Crown Prosecution Service said witnesses could not
:16:00. > :16:03.recall sufficient detail, and it thought the evidence
:16:04. > :16:05.was not strong enough to secure a prosecution.
:16:06. > :16:09.We don't understand how the CPS can say, on the one hand,
:16:10. > :16:11.British officials were definitely involved in rendition,
:16:12. > :16:14.and on the other hand, nobody is going to stand
:16:15. > :16:19.The real question for all of us is - is MI6 subject to the law
:16:20. > :16:24.There will be relief inside MI6 that no former officers face prosecution.
:16:25. > :16:26.Those who have worked inside acknowledge that
:16:27. > :16:29.mistakes were made, though, in the early years of the war
:16:30. > :16:32.on terror but critics will say that today's decision will mean no-one
:16:33. > :16:44.President Obama has formally endorsed Hillary Clinton as his
:16:45. > :16:47.successor for the White House, saying he was fired up and couldn't
:16:48. > :16:53.She became the Democratic party's presumptive nominee this week,
:16:54. > :16:57.though her rival, Bernie Sanders, is continuing his campaign.
:16:58. > :16:59.In a video message, President Obama praised Senator Sanders,
:17:00. > :17:01.but confirmed support for his former Secretary of State.
:17:02. > :17:04.I know how hard this job can be, that's why I know Hillary
:17:05. > :17:08.In fact, I don't think there's ever been so qualified
:17:09. > :17:28.Jon Sopel is at the White House. Jon, this is clearly a moment to
:17:29. > :17:33.savour? Yes, savouring the timing and the tonne. It builds on the
:17:34. > :17:37.momentum she achieved on Tuesday night with the victory party and the
:17:38. > :17:41.tone as Barack Obama could not have been more full-throated in his
:17:42. > :17:46.support for her, talking about her courage, compassion, and heart to
:17:47. > :17:51.succeed. And as you say, saying he was raring to go, to start
:17:52. > :17:55.campaigning with her, which he does in Wisconsin. Hillary Clinton has
:17:56. > :18:01.said: We have gone from being fierce competitors to true friends. It begs
:18:02. > :18:05.the question, what about the fierce competitor from this race, Bernie
:18:06. > :18:09.Sanders? He was here at the White House earlier on, he stopped short
:18:10. > :18:14.of endorsing her but gave signs he may well do in the coming days. That
:18:15. > :18:17.will do a great deal for the democratic party unity.
:18:18. > :18:20.The Northern Ireland Police ombudsman, has found there
:18:21. > :18:22.WAS collusion between the officers and loyalist paramilitaries,
:18:23. > :18:25.in the murder of six Catholic men at a pub in County Down in 1994.
