Good afternoon and welcome to BBC News.

The Conservative Mayor of London Boris Johnson -

says reform on the key issue of sovereignty is not achievable

He told the BBC he'd been happy with a deal on the table that

would have returned powers of sovereignty from Brussels

to Britain and possibly swung him towards the in campaign.

But Government lawyers, he revealed, considered

Here's our political correspondent Alan Soady.

On the road and almost on the same side, but now Boris Johnson has

revealed worries over sovereignty drove him away. The Prime Minister,

he decided, hadn't got a good enough deal from the EU. The reason I have

come to this conclusion is I think staying in the European Union, as it

evolve towards an ever more central Federalist structure in order to

preserve the new row is the risky option. The best thing for us, we

are a great country, proud economy, pro-democracy, is to take control.

Jobs and the economy are at the heart of the EU debate. Business

leaders have been split over whether the UK's interests lie in or out of

the European Union. The former Bank of England Governor

Mervyn King thinks Europe would remain the UK's biggest trading

partner either way. Some European politicians can see problems.

TRANSLATION: You are either in the single market or you are not, and if

you are not, you have trade agreements. Of course there are

countries within Europe part of the single market, but they still had to

pay into the budget of the community and accept the free movement of

people. So they have all the disadvantages of the common market

and they are not involved in the decision-making process of the

internal single market. The campaign to win over voters is

hotting up. Both sides know many simply do not know what is best for

the country or who to believe. Both sides have got off to a very

bad start in terms of allowing this to develop into an issue around

personalities, about self-promotion, about what will happen to the

Conservative Party after the 23rd of June. Instead we should all be

concentrating on getting across messages about the real fact is.

When he went to Brussels David Cameron said he would walk the extra

mile to hammer out a good deal for the UK. Now Boris Johnson says on

the sovereignty issue the Prime Minister should have headed towards

with the two biggest states up for grabs in Saturday's contest,

because the Texas Senator Ted I would love to take on Ted

one-on-one, that would be Because Ted can't win New York,

he can't win New Jersey, he can't win Pennsylvania,

he can't win California. Mr Cruz wants a one-on-one

the best alternative for Republicans terrified that Mr Trump will lose

them the White House. Donald Trump is not the best

candidate to go head-to-head The odds are too high,

if he loses we lose the Supreme Court for a generation,

Florida Senator Marco Rubio, isn't ready to drop out even though

he had a very bad night. He's holding on for a crucial

contest in his home state. In the Democratic campaign,
