:00:19. > :00:24.Leaving the European Union would give the UK an "illusion
:00:25. > :00:26.of sovereignty" but not full control, according to the Prime
:00:27. > :00:32.David Cameron made the comments to the BBC this morning
:00:33. > :00:34.as he fleshed out his case for staying in the EU.
:00:35. > :00:36.Meanwhile Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has
:00:37. > :00:39.given his first interview since announcing he would campaign
:00:40. > :00:45.He's warned that staying in the EU makes the UK more vulnerable
:00:46. > :00:59.Our political correspondent Iain Watson reports.
:01:00. > :01:04.Yesterday he told his Cabinet where Britain would be better off
:01:05. > :01:09.remaining in EU. Today the Prime Minister took to the airwaves to try
:01:10. > :01:14.to tell the whole country. I think we'll be stronger in the world,
:01:15. > :01:18.getting things done, making sure our country and people are safer, and
:01:19. > :01:22.we'll be safer inside the EU because we are able to work with our
:01:23. > :01:28.partners. Strength in numbers in a dangerous world. We said he helped
:01:29. > :01:33.reform the EU but what did he get for his renegotiation. He wanted a
:01:34. > :01:39.four-year ban on benefits paid to migrant. Instead these would be
:01:40. > :01:42.phased in over four years. He wanted migrants' benefits to be stopped
:01:43. > :01:49.from being sent to their own country. But he's got an exemption
:01:50. > :01:54.for Britain from further reintegration. But he'll publish
:01:55. > :01:59.proposals on this soon and he had this message for those opponents
:02:00. > :02:04.that say we can't be an independent sovereign nation inside the EU. If
:02:05. > :02:08.suddenly a ban was put on for some bogus health reasons on one of our
:02:09. > :02:13.industries, would you be able to insist that ban was unpicked? No you
:02:14. > :02:18.wouldn't, so you have an illusion of sovereignty. Downing Street today
:02:19. > :02:22.looks much the same as it always has, but don't be fooled, this isn't
:02:23. > :02:25.politics as usual. When it comes to the referendum, David Cameron will
:02:26. > :02:28.be voting the same way as Labour's Jeremy Corbyn, and with the Prime
:02:29. > :02:33.Minister argues that our national security and prosperity will be
:02:34. > :02:37.threatened by leaving the EU, he's making that argument to half a dozen
:02:38. > :02:40.Ministers who sit round the Cabinet table with him. And frankly they
:02:41. > :02:46.don't believe him. One of those Ministers who wants the leave the EU
:02:47. > :02:50.warned that we are in more danger of a Paris-style terrorist attack if we
:02:51. > :02:55.stay in. We have had a lot of threats coming from those who want
:02:56. > :02:59.to stay in that somehow this is to be less safe because we rely on
:03:00. > :03:04.security with the European Union. This open border doesn't allow us to
:03:05. > :03:08.check and control people who may come. We saw what happened in Paris,
:03:09. > :03:10.where they spent ages planning and plotting. Who is to say
:03:11. > :03:13.where they spent ages planning and beyond the wit of man to say they
:03:14. > :03:17.are going to do beyond the wit of man to say they
:03:18. > :03:19.joined by the most famous Conservative politician apart from
:03:20. > :03:23.the Prime Minister, and today David Cameron made this appeal to Boris
:03:24. > :03:27.Johnson. I would say to Boris what I say to everybody else, which is that
:03:28. > :03:34.we'll be safer, we'll be stronger, we'll be better offer inside the EU.
:03:35. > :03:38.Tinge prospect of linking arms with Nigel Farage and George Galloway and
:03:39. > :03:43.taking a leap into the dark is a wrong step for this country. But is
:03:44. > :03:48.this man ready to link arms with the London Mayor? Absolutely. He is one
:03:49. > :03:54.of those has dozen people who reaches out to voters. It will be
:03:55. > :03:59.just great. In or out of the EU it is the biggest decision British
:04:00. > :04:01.voters will make in a generation. Today we saw how dramatically the
:04:02. > :04:13.campaign will be fought. Boris Johnson, in or out? In out.
:04:14. > :04:17.He's been veering around like a shopping trollry. We get the
:04:18. > :04:21.definitive tenancy from Boris Johnson but not until tonight.
:04:22. > :04:25.Certainly the widespread expectation at Westminster is he'll vote to
:04:26. > :04:29.leave. He'll be joining Iain Duncan Smith and those half dozen other
:04:30. > :04:32.Ministers who sit round the Cabinet table. Why does this matter? Partly
:04:33. > :04:38.because he's a well-known politician. Partly because he is one
:04:39. > :04:44.of those who can influence people. He became Mayor in a city that voted
:04:45. > :04:48.Labour in the last elections had. He may be able to sway people in a way
:04:49. > :04:52.that less well known Ministers aren't. David Cameron has made it
:04:53. > :04:56.clear this first decision in 40 years is far more important than a
:04:57. > :05:00.future of a here today gone tomorrow politician. We've got a sneak review
:05:01. > :05:04.of how he'll fight this campaign today, not just on the economy but
:05:05. > :05:06.security too. Jeb Bush has pulled out of the race
:05:07. > :05:09.to become the Republican candidate The latest vote, in South Carolina,
:05:10. > :05:13.was won by Donald Trump. For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton
:05:14. > :05:16.won the delegates' votes in Nevada, overcoming a strong challenge
:05:17. > :05:18.from her rival, Bernie Sanders. Our North America correspondent
:05:19. > :05:31.Laura Bicker is in Columbia in South This extraordinary race is now
:05:32. > :05:37.beginning to take a real shape. At the front for the Republicans is
:05:38. > :05:40.Donald Trump. A thrice-married casino-owning billionaire who in the
:05:41. > :05:45.week that he took on the Pope has won here in a state full of
:05:46. > :05:50.predominantly evangelical Christian voters. So who can take it on?
:05:51. > :05:52.There's only really two names in the frame.
:05:53. > :06:01.As the billionaire himself would say, this win is huge.
:06:02. > :06:05.Not just because of the number of people who voted
:06:06. > :06:07.for Donald Trump, but because of where those votes are coming
:06:08. > :06:10.from and how it places him going forward.
:06:11. > :06:19.Let's put this thing away and let's make America great again.
:06:20. > :06:27.South Carolina is usually the state which chooses the eventual
:06:28. > :06:36.In the buckle of the Bible Belt, this man, Senator Ted Cruz,
:06:37. > :06:43.Instead he's locked in a battle for second place with Marco Rubio.
:06:44. > :06:45.There is only a handful of votes between the Florida Senator
:06:46. > :06:52.A return for Rubio, who must now be the party's favoured candidate,
:06:53. > :06:57.but the man who was his former mentor, who had the money
:06:58. > :07:01.and the name in this campaign, has had to concede.
:07:02. > :07:03.It's all over for Jeb Bush, who never looked comfortable in this
:07:04. > :07:10.Out west it was a close fight for Hillary Clinton.
:07:11. > :07:12.She didn't expect a tough contest in Nevada, but this win
:07:13. > :07:21.Some may have doubted us, but we never doubted each other.
:07:22. > :07:32.In this remarkable race, candidates are now positioning
:07:33. > :07:34.themselves for the endurance test ahead,
:07:35. > :07:44.with over 20 states to declare in the next two weeks.
:07:45. > :07:48.Syrian activists say at least 46 people have been killed in twin bomb
:07:49. > :07:56.in the explosions, which are reported to have been

:08:11. > :08:12.Police in the US state of Michigan have named a man suspected
:08:13. > :08:15.of killing six people in a series of apparently random shootings
:08:16. > :08:26.A woman and a 14-year-old girl were also wounded in the attacks.

:08:31. > :08:35.For several hours the city of Kalamazoo was locked down
:08:36. > :08:37.as officers tried to find and stop the killer.
:08:38. > :08:40.We've had several shootings here tonight in this county and city
:08:41. > :08:49.In summary, what it looks like is we had somebody just driving
:08:50. > :08:53.around finding people and shooting them dead in their tracks.
:08:54. > :08:56.It started in the early evening when a
:08:57. > :08:58.woman was shot multiple times outside an apartment complex
:08:59. > :09:03.For six hours the shootings continued.

:09:57. > :10:16.Good afternoon. Quite a variety of weather across the United Kingdom
:10:17. > :10:21.this weekend. Quite a range in temperatures as well. Very mild in
