:00:00. > :00:08.This programme contains scenes of repetitive flashing images.

:00:09. > :00:11.Tonight at Ten, Boris Johnson the Mayor of London,

:00:12. > :00:13.says Britain should vote to leave the European Union,

:00:14. > :00:17.He calls the EU undemocratic, but says his decision to join

:00:18. > :00:23.the Out campaign came with a huge amount of heartache.

:00:24. > :00:26.I want a better deal for the people of this country -

:00:27. > :00:30.to save them money and take back control.

:00:31. > :00:33.The move is seen as a severe blow to the Prime Minister,

:00:34. > :00:37.who'd earlier issued a plea to the Mayor.

:00:38. > :00:39.Linking arms with Nigel Farage and George Galloway and leaping

:00:40. > :00:49.into the dark is the wrong thing to do for our country.

:00:50. > :00:51.So, just how might Boris Johnson's decision influence the referendum

:00:52. > :00:56.Donald Trump secures another victory in the Republican Presidential race,

:00:57. > :01:02.while Jeb Bush decides to end his campaign.

:01:03. > :01:07.Doctors in Venezuela accuse the government of hiding the extent

:01:08. > :01:10.of the Zika crisis, in a country with a health service already

:01:11. > :01:14.In Venezuela, people are dying because they can't get access

:01:15. > :01:20.And the Royal Navy's most decorated pilot,

:01:21. > :01:42.Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown, has died at the age of 97.

:01:43. > :01:47.After days of speculation, the Mayor of London,

:01:48. > :01:50.Boris Johnson, has announced he'll back the campaign for the UK

:01:51. > :01:54.He said the decision came with a huge amount of heartache,

:01:55. > :01:57.and the last thing he wanted was to go against the Government.

:01:58. > :02:00.His decision is a huge boost to the Out campaign, and a major

:02:01. > :02:02.blow to the Prime Minister, who maintained again today that

:02:03. > :02:05.leaving the EU would be a "leap in the dark".

:02:06. > :02:07.This report from our political editor Laura Kuenssberg

:02:08. > :02:22.He might say good good, or maybe even crikey. You might say that

:02:23. > :02:27.Boris Johnson likes to make an entrance. I thought I better say

:02:28. > :02:31.something because I could see you were all in a great, great mass

:02:32. > :02:35.here, and I apologise. Finally pheasantsing up to the waiting cod,

:02:36. > :02:39.he will campaign against his friend and rival and argue to leave We have

:02:40. > :02:46.a chance actually to do something, I have a chance to do something, I

:02:47. > :02:52.would like to see a new relationship based more on trade, on cooperation,

:02:53. > :02:56.but as I say, without, with much less of this supranational element.

:02:57. > :03:01.That is where I am coming from. That is why I have decided after a huge

:03:02. > :03:06.amount of heartache. I did not want to do anything, the last thing I

:03:07. > :03:09.wanted was to go against David Cameron, or the Government. But

:03:10. > :03:14.after a great deal of heartache, I don't think there is anything else I

:03:15. > :03:19.can do. If that is what you have thought all along why have you kept

:03:20. > :03:25.your party waiting? Because, the truth is, that it has been

:03:26. > :03:29.agonisingly difficult. I think for many of us, the, what I said over

:03:30. > :03:35.many year, well, couple of years now, is I would like to be in a

:03:36. > :03:40.reform EU. That is my hope. And EU that is based more on free trade,

:03:41. > :03:43.and fundamental treaty change. Anyone would think he likes the

:03:44. > :03:49.attention. Love him or loathe him row can't ignore him. Boris Johnson

:03:50. > :03:54.has taken a huge political jump that could change this campaign. How you

:03:55. > :03:58.doing? It is a dream for those campaigning to leave. Not so much

:03:59. > :04:03.for his friend and rival, in Number Ten. Mr Johnson texted his colleague

:04:04. > :04:06.David Cameron with his final decision, 12 minutes before he

:04:07. > :04:10.announced it. The Prime Minister knew it was

:04:11. > :04:15.probably coming, but still made this appeal this morning, on the. V I

:04:16. > :04:19.would say to Boris what I said to everybody else which is we will be

:04:20. > :04:23.safer, stronger, belter off inside the EU. I think the prospect of

:04:24. > :04:27.linking arms with Nigel Farage, and George Galloway and taking a leap

:04:28. > :04:31.into the dark, is the wrong step for our country, and if Boris and if

:04:32. > :04:36.others really care about being able to get things done, in our world,

:04:37. > :04:40.then, the EU is one of the ways in which we get them down done. Today's

:04:41. > :04:43.been show time for Conservative ministers who disagree with each

:04:44. > :04:49.other. The European Union and I have said this many times and have been

:04:50. > :04:54.quoted many times, they spend money that comes from British taxpayers. I

:04:55. > :04:58.want what is best for Britain. Even if it is relatively polite the clash

:04:59. > :05:02.is profound. But Iain Duncan Smith, campaigning

:05:03. > :05:06.for out, believes the Prime Minister is just playing -- plain wrong.

:05:07. > :05:10.There is clearly a big moment for many people who have never had a say

:05:11. > :05:14.on whether or not they want to stay within the European Union it is only

:05:15. > :05:18.in the UK we play this silly game of pretending it is something else. It

:05:19. > :05:22.is not it is a political union which has market elements attached. The

:05:23. > :05:26.big issues are round control of or border, within the European Union,

:05:27. > :05:30.to those who are citizens of various countries in the on your on your.

:05:31. > :05:34.Those borders are -- European Union. They cause problems. We see what

:05:35. > :05:39.happened in Paris where they spent ages planning, who is to say it is

:05:40. > :05:45.not beyond the wit of man that might happen. So you say it makes up more

:05:46. > :05:51.vulnerable to Paris-style attacks? I think the present status of the open

:05:52. > :05:53.border we have right now, many of us feel does leave that door open. When

:05:54. > :05:58.you hear the Prime Minister and people who want to stay in saying we

:05:59. > :06:02.are more safe, staying in in the European Union, and then you say we

:06:03. > :06:06.are more at risk from terrorism if we stay in, how is it going to be

:06:07. > :06:11.possible for the Conservative Party to stay together over these issues?

:06:12. > :06:16.They are so fundamental. I think they are strong opinions and view,

:06:17. > :06:20.we have to do something to change the elements that exist. For those

:06:21. > :06:23.of us who want to leave, we believe fundamentally a new relationship

:06:24. > :06:29.with the European Union would allow us to control our borders.

:06:30. > :06:34.Those arguments on security, on sovereignty will be hotly disputed.

:06:35. > :06:39.But look at this. Campaigns are sketched out by big personalities

:06:40. > :06:43.too. Only the end result will say if the attention he attracts was really

:06:44. > :06:47.Laura's in Downing Street for us now.

:06:48. > :06:49.Just how much of a blow to the Prime Minister

:06:50. > :06:54.is Boris Johnson's announcement today?

:06:55. > :07:00.The answer there, is in your question, he is one of the most

:07:01. > :07:03.recognisable faces in British politics, his frustration here in

:07:04. > :07:06.Downing Street, not just his eventual decision but how he has

:07:07. > :07:12.dilly-dallied and taken so long to make it clear. The suspicion two

:07:13. > :07:16.across the political spectrum among the Tory ranges and the Labour Party

:07:17. > :07:22.this is about his ambition to be in charge here than his real

:07:23. > :07:26.conviction, a pointed verdict from Lord Heseltine saying I like Boris

:07:27. > :07:30.he makes me laugh but I would back David Cameron over him any day. He

:07:31. > :07:33.go tonnes say his arguments don't add up. They are illogical. Many

:07:34. > :07:40.people might wonder what is the fuss. He is only one politician

:07:41. > :07:43.after all, but until today, the out campaign didn't have a charismatic

:07:44. > :07:48.leader. Tonight they have somebody with more panache. Probably a good

:07:49. > :07:53.dose more pantomime, but someone who could in theory really energise this

:07:54. > :07:56.campaign, who could make it more playful. The referendum campaign is

:07:57. > :08:00.is not a political game, the questions that face us all are much

:08:01. > :08:04.more important than any single politician, but when it comes down

:08:05. > :08:07.to it, this vote might be close, so anything that could make a shred of

:08:08. > :08:12.difference is significant in itself. of difference is

:08:13. > :08:13.significant in itself. Well, the Prime Minister firmly

:08:14. > :08:15.believes the deal brokered with the EU will help

:08:16. > :08:18.convince voters he's right The agreement promises benefits

:08:19. > :08:21.for EU migrant workers can be limited for the first four years

:08:22. > :08:24.and that child benefit payments The UK will be excused

:08:25. > :08:27.from a commitment to what Brussels And countries that don't use

:08:28. > :08:33.the euro will be able to force debate through a safeguard mechanism

:08:34. > :08:36.on proposals they don't like. But critics say the deal has fallen

:08:37. > :08:38.short in many areas, with UK sovereignty still

:08:39. > :08:40.undermined by EU membership. Our special correspondent,

:08:41. > :08:43.Lucy Manning, has been to Leeds to gauge opinion, on how

:08:44. > :08:45.the deal has been received. Her report does contain

:08:46. > :08:59.flashing images. The argument about Britain in the EU

:09:00. > :09:02.has gone round and round, but now everyone will

:09:03. > :09:04.get a vote to decide. So will they follow

:09:05. > :09:08.the Prime Minister or vote to leave? We are such a little

:09:09. > :09:10.country by ourselves, I think it is safer

:09:11. > :09:14.to stay together. Have you been persuaded by the deal

:09:15. > :09:17.the Prime Minister has done? I had already thought that

:09:18. > :09:21.I was going to vote to stay any way. To be honest, I don't really see any

:09:22. > :09:27.point of the deal. There is lots for and against,

:09:28. > :09:28.really. I think Britain should -

:09:29. > :09:30.personally, I think Bbecome Great Britain again

:09:31. > :09:39.and not be part of Europe. If Boris Johnson goes

:09:40. > :09:40.for the out campaign, I think Boris is a very

:09:41. > :09:43.interesting character, but he wouldn't

:09:44. > :09:45.persuade me either way. Last year 6,000 people came

:09:46. > :09:51.from the European Union So will the Prime Minister's

:09:52. > :09:55.new deal to restrict the benefits and child benefits those coming

:09:56. > :09:57.from abroad claim make any difference to those who want

:09:58. > :10:06.to come to work here? Leeds' Polish community

:10:07. > :10:08.gathered after church. Had they had too big a portion

:10:09. > :10:11.of the benefits the UK hands out? Jimmy and Joanna have

:10:12. > :10:14.been here for ten years. The Polish are not coming

:10:15. > :10:18.here to claim benefits. They are just coming

:10:19. > :10:21.for a better life. If someone is looking for benefits,

:10:22. > :10:26.they would go to other countries. Dominic sends his child benefit back

:10:27. > :10:29.to Poland and thinks reducing it will be unfair, but he does back

:10:30. > :10:36.the plans to limit other benefits. I think the idea of Prime Minister

:10:37. > :10:39.David Cameron of increasing the period after which people

:10:40. > :10:41.will be entitled to four years, I think this is a good idea,

:10:42. > :10:44.because this may stop people who are purely coming to this

:10:45. > :10:51.country to start claiming benefits. But for some Poles who came in,

:10:52. > :10:53.they now support out, and with his newly acquired

:10:54. > :10:55.British citizenship, I think it is going to be better

:10:56. > :11:03.for UK just to leave Europe. Even if it means that fewer Polish

:11:04. > :11:11.people can come to travel I think we need to have some kind

:11:12. > :11:16.of restrictions, so limitations. The politicians might be

:11:17. > :11:18.making up their minds, but it's the voters'

:11:19. > :11:27.views that count. The former Governor of Florida,

:11:28. > :11:29.Jeb Bush, has pulled out of the Republican presidential

:11:30. > :11:31.race, after another win for Donald Trump in

:11:32. > :11:33.the South Carolina primary. For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton

:11:34. > :11:37.won a clear victory in Nevada, overcoming a strong challenge

:11:38. > :11:39.from her rival, Bernie Sanders. Our North America editor,

:11:40. > :12:02.Jon Sopel, is in Columbia, Clive, if history is to be any guide

:12:03. > :12:07.Donald Trump has every reason... Every Republican, then in South

:12:08. > :12:10.Carolina has gone on to PROBLEM WITH

:12:11. > :12:13.SOUND. Donald Trump has done that. Underlying how strong his position

:12:14. > :12:18.is. And also serving to show how difficult it is going to be, for his

:12:19. > :12:19.dwindling band of opponents to beat him.

:12:20. > :12:22.First, the uneasy anticipation at Trump HQ.

:12:23. > :12:37.There is nothing easy about running for president.

:12:38. > :12:43.It's tough, it's nasty, it's mean, it's vicious, it's beautiful.

:12:44. > :12:48.We're gonna do the wall, and by the way,

:12:49. > :12:52.who's gonna pay for the wall?

:12:53. > :12:59.Donald Trump has won South Carolina, following on from his victory

:13:00. > :13:07.He is clearly established as the frontrunner now.

:13:08. > :13:09.The question is, how many other Republican candidates have the money

:13:10. > :13:20.The person who had the biggest war chest and family connections

:13:21. > :13:21.last night bowed to the inevitable

:13:22. > :13:27.But the people of Iowa and New Hampshire have spoken,

:13:28. > :13:30.So tonight, I am suspending my campaign.

:13:31. > :13:40.Jeb Bush was crushed by Trump in the debates.

:13:41. > :13:49.And on the stump, he didn't seem one of life's natural campaigners.

:13:50. > :13:52...To get back in the business of creating a more peaceful world.

:13:53. > :14:00.In the Democratic race in Nevada, Hillary Clinton scored

:14:01. > :14:02.an important win over her socialist rival Bernie Sanders.

:14:03. > :14:04.After emphatic defeat in New Hampshire, her victory speech

:14:05. > :14:14.I am so, so thrilled and so grateful to all of my supporters out there.

:14:15. > :14:17.Some may have doubted us, but we never doubted each other.

:14:18. > :14:22.Hillary Clinton has renewed momentum,

:14:23. > :14:25.but Bernie Sanders has money and support, and in this race,

:14:26. > :14:26.on both Democrat and Republican sides,

:14:27. > :14:42.The Syrian city of Homs and the country's capital Damascus,

:14:43. > :14:45.have been hit by a wave of deadly bombings, leaving more than 130

:14:46. > :14:47.dead, despite international efforts to secure a ceasefire

:14:48. > :14:51.Human rights observers say dozens died in twin bomb blasts

:14:52. > :14:54.in the central Zahraa district of Homs, a bastion of support

:14:55. > :14:56.for President Bashar al-Assad, while Syrian state media says more

:14:57. > :14:59.than 80 people died in four explosions close to a Shia shrine

:15:00. > :15:18.It is the so-called Islamic State who are claiming responsibility for

:15:19. > :15:21.these attacks? That is right. And really deadly horrible really

:15:22. > :15:26.outrageous carnage, especially in Damascus where they set off a very

:15:27. > :15:31.big car bomb and two suicide bomb suicide bombers blew themselves up.

:15:32. > :15:37.This in a very sensitive Shia neighbourhood, close to a very

:15:38. > :15:42.important shrine. Very provocative in sectarian terms, why would IS do

:15:43. > :15:47.it at a time when as you say there are intense international peace

:15:48. > :15:50.moves under way. Well IS has no interest in peace moves except in

:15:51. > :15:55.the sense it will be a victim of them, if there is a peace agreement

:15:56. > :15:59.in Syria, it knows that it will be the victim, because the Americans

:16:00. > :16:05.and their western allies, basically want to get all the other party, the

:16:06. > :16:09.Russians, the Syrian regime itself, their own rebel clients as its were

:16:10. > :16:11.in Syria to get them against IS on the ground. That is why I think IS

:16:12. > :16:18.is carrying out these attacks. Police in the American state

:16:19. > :16:20.of Michigan have arrested a man, after a series of shootings

:16:21. > :16:22.left six people dead, A father and son were shot

:16:23. > :16:26.outside a car showroom, while the other victims were killed

:16:27. > :16:29.in a restaurant car park. A 14-year old girl was

:16:30. > :16:31.also seriously injured. Jason Dalton, who's 45,

:16:32. > :16:39.was arrested after a police search. The Indian capital Delhi,

:16:40. > :16:41.is facing severe water shortages, after protesters sabotaged

:16:42. > :16:43.a canal supplying the city. The state government says some areas

:16:44. > :16:46.will run out of water completely, and have already closed

:16:47. > :16:48.a number of schools. The demonstrations, in which ten

:16:49. > :16:50.people have been killed, involve members of an

:16:51. > :16:52.underprivileged rural community, who want better access

:16:53. > :17:02.to jobs and benefits. As the Zika virus continues

:17:03. > :17:04.to spread across South America, countries like Brazil and Colombia
