The Prime Minister has said a referendum on whether Britain

:00:20.:00:25.

should leave the EU could be held as early as this summer.

:00:26.:00:28.

He said he was hopeful of completing a deal to renegotiate the terms

:00:29.:00:31.

The Prime Minister indicated the vote could follow in the summer if

:00:32.:00:41.

an agreement was reached at the summit in February.

:00:42.:00:44.

What I would like to see is a deal in February and then a referendum

:00:45.:00:48.

But, you know, you are dealing with complex negotiations.

:00:49.:00:51.

I think some people think it is the migration bit

:00:52.:00:54.

that is the most difficult and the others are easy.

:00:55.:00:56.

Certainly migration is difficult, but the other areas are not

:00:57.:00:58.

But my aim is clear, best of both worlds for Britain,

:00:59.:01:02.

the massive prize of sorting out what frustrates us about Europe,

:01:03.:01:05.

Ian Watson is with us. He sounded pretty cheerful. The most striking

:01:06.:01:18.

thing was not just about how confident he seem to be about

:01:19.:01:22.

getting a deal, but how quickly he could get that deal, despite all the

:01:23.:01:28.

well-publicised problems he has had. What was interesting was that whilst

:01:29.:01:32.

he kept that proviso that he is not ruling anything out if he does not

:01:33.:01:36.

get a deal, both his body language and the actual interview was very

:01:37.:01:41.

positive. He used phrases like the best answer for Britain is to

:01:42.:01:46.

continue membership in a reformed EU. He said the reason he announced

:01:47.:01:49.

government ministers could campaign on either side of the debate was

:01:50.:01:53.

because he felt he was close to getting a deal. He made it clear

:01:54.:01:57.

that if he was on the losing side, he made it clear he would stay on as

:01:58.:02:02.

Prime Minister. He wants the vote week about EU membership, not his

:02:03.:02:06.

leadership, because there are big divisions in the Conservative Party.

:02:07.:02:12.

His preferred option is to have the vote sooner luck rather than later,

:02:13.:02:14.

it could just be months away. rather than later, it

:02:15.:02:16.

could just be months away. The Prime minister has also

:02:17.:02:18.

announced a ?140 million programme to either renovate or tear down

:02:19.:02:20.

and replace England's Mr Cameron pledged to end

:02:21.:02:22.

what he called "decades of neglect" with the initiative which he hopes

:02:23.:02:26.

will also help tackle drug abuse A panel of experts will be set up

he became Prime Minister. I think sink housing estates,

:02:46.:02:49.

many built after the war, where people can feel

:02:50.:02:51.

trapped in poverty, unable to get on and build a good

with Government money, but with massive private

sector and perhaps pension sector help, to demolish the worst

:02:59.:03:00.

of these and actually rebuild houses that people feel they can

:03:01.:03:05.

:03:38.:03:43.

scheme stretched over 100 estates would make

:03:44.:03:45.

little difference. And it is tenants who will judge

:03:46.:03:48.

this policy, by whether they see British detectives in Ghana have

been questioning the partner of the former Eastenders actress

:03:53.:04:01.

Sian Blake about her murder 48-year-old Arthur

:04:02.:04:03.

Simpson-Kent was arrested on a remote beach yesterday,

:04:04.:04:08.

following a tip-off. Our Africa correspondent

:04:09.:04:10.

Alastair Leithead is there. Perhaps you could talk us through

:04:11.:04:21.

some of the circumstances of this arrest. It was clear that Arthur

:04:22.:04:27.

Simpson-Kent had been in this beach resort for quite a while. People

:04:28.:04:31.

around town had been saying they met him around New Year, they had spoken

:04:32.:04:37.

to him and had coffee with him. A British woman who runs a cafe here

:04:38.:04:41.

said she was frustrated because she recognised when she saw the

:04:42.:04:44.

photograph on social media that this was the guy who had been sitting in

:04:45.:04:49.

her cafe every day, that she had been speaking to, and she tried to

:04:50.:04:55.

raise the alarm, but it was a couple of days before anything happened.

:04:56.:04:58.

Suddenly everything happened here up the coast just where I am standing

:04:59.:05:04.

yesterday when the police found him in a small cove, drinking coconut

:05:05.:05:08.

water. He did not resist arrest and he was taken to Ghana where he is

:05:09.:05:12.

being questioned by British authorities and he is expected to

:05:13.:05:15.

appear in court tomorrow and we may be hearing a press conference soon

:05:16.:05:18.

from the authorities about the arrest.

:05:19.:05:21.

It's emerged that the Hollywood actor Sean Penn was able

:05:22.:05:23.

to interview one of Mexico's most notorious drugs barons

:05:24.:05:26.

Joaquin Guzman, also known as El Chapo,

:05:27.:05:29.

was interviewed at a secret hideout by Penn for Rolling Stone Magazine.

:05:30.:05:32.

Police say his capture was made possible, in part,

:05:33.:05:34.

The Mexican drug baron now faces extradition to the United States.

:05:35.:05:42.

Two tickets scooped last night's record National Lottery jackpot,

:05:43.:05:44.

winning an estimated ?33 million each.

:05:45.:05:48.

It was the biggest prize pot in the competition's 21-year history

:05:49.:05:51.

The Lottery website crashed in the hours before the draw

:05:52.:05:54.

as people made a last-minute attempt to buy tickets.

:05:55.:06:01.

More than 100 members of the Church of England have written an open

:06:02.:06:04.

letter urging it to acknowledge that gay and transgender Christians have

:06:05.:06:06.

It comes ahead of a global meeting of the Anglican communion

:06:07.:06:11.

in Canterbury tomorrow, and there are fears differing views

:06:12.:06:13.

Our religious affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt reports.

:06:14.:06:19.

It welcomes, it loves, it serves, it teaches...

:06:20.:06:22.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, faces

:06:23.:06:24.

In his New Year's message, filmed at a school in Kent,

:06:25.:06:29.

he spoke of the need for love and welcome and of the liberal

:06:30.:06:32.

But some worry that's been in short supply within the church itself

:06:33.:06:37.

A letter signed by more than 100 senior church figures calls

:06:38.:06:42.

on the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to tell their fellow

:06:43.:06:45.

leaders that the time has come for the Anglican Church

:06:46.:06:49.

to acknowledge its failure to care for LGBTI Christians,

:06:50.:06:53.

for making them feel like second-class citizens,

:06:54.:06:56.

and for the church to repent for accepting and promoting

:06:57.:06:59.

discrimination on the grounds of sexuality.

:07:00.:07:03.

Jane Ozanne started the letter in the hope that the church can heal

:07:04.:07:06.

some of the hurt felt by gay Christians.

:07:07.:07:09.

She is a leading evangelical, who came out as gay and now

:07:10.:07:12.

It was time to stand tall and actually call the church back

:07:13.:07:16.

to its roots, to remind them about the fact that we are there

:07:17.:07:20.

to welcome and serve all, that actually we had not treated

:07:21.:07:24.

We have not loved them, we have vilified them.

:07:25.:07:30.

The Church of England says the archbishops

:07:31.:07:33.

will have an opportunity to discuss the letter when they meet.

:07:34.:07:36.

Bringing together all 38 primates from the Anglican Communion

:07:37.:07:39.

is a high-risk strategy that could result in much of the discord

:07:40.:07:43.

of recent years being brought out into the open.

:07:44.:07:46.

But nobody is quite sure what the end result will be

:07:47.:07:50.

and whether those rifts can be healed.

:07:51.:07:58.

A ceremony has been held in Paris ending a week of commemorations

:07:59.:08:01.

for the victims of the attacks on the satirical newspaper

:08:02.:08:03.

Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket a year ago.

:08:04.:08:06.

People gathered in the Place de la Republique, the site of defiant

:08:07.:08:08.

It was a small crowd gathered in the grey January morning

:08:09.:08:22.

to watch their President lay a wreath to the victims

:08:23.:08:24.

Beside him the Prime Minister and mayor of the city,

:08:25.:08:30.

the emotions of the past 12 months etched onto their faces.

:08:31.:08:35.

Earlier, under a giant tree of remembrance,

:08:36.:08:37.

President Hollande unveiled a simple memorial.

:08:38.:08:42.

The veteran French rock star Johnny Halliday sang

:08:43.:08:46.

about the nationwide protests that swept France in the wake

:08:47.:08:49.

And on a makeshift stage, two young people read

:08:50.:08:57.

a speech by French writer Victor Hugo.

:08:58.:09:06.

The words almost 150 years old, moving Parisians to tears.

:09:07.:09:13.

As the ceremony ended, France's national anthem,

:09:14.:09:16.

the country's most famous call to arms, rang out across the square.

:09:17.:09:22.

A year ago, it was packed with people angry at the latest

:09:23.:09:25.

Today it was a handful of participants, among them

:09:26.:09:31.

survivors and relatives of the victims, greeted

:09:32.:09:33.

This is the last in a series of commemorations across the city.

:09:34.:09:47.

During one of them there was another attempted attack, a reminder that

:09:48.:09:51.

the ending of so many lives here does not spell the end of France's

:09:52.:09:57.

own war. Lucy Williamson, BBC News, Paris.
