strongly attacked President Obama for suggesting that a separate trade | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, he said negotiations | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
could last a decade, and friends had to be | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
If the countries that are closest to you, those who you have a special | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
relationship with, are suggesting to you that you might be better off | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
staying in this relationship with Europe, it's worth paying attention. | :00:32. | :00:47. | |
The American President is coming out with the same rubbish | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
as David Cameron - basically the line is that Britain | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
could file for administration as early as tomorrow, | :00:56. | :01:05. | |
Leicester City move a step closer to the Premier League title, | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
And Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya wins the London Marathon in a course | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
record time, while compatriot Jemima Sumgong picked herself up | :01:19. | :01:41. | |
Campaigners who want the UK to leave the European Union have reacted | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
with anger to comments made by President Obama that it | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
could take several years for Britain to secure a trade deal with America, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Mr Obama | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
said it could be "five, maybe ten years". | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
But the leader of Ukip, Nigel Farage, dismissed | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
the President's comments as "utter tosh". | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
Before flying onto to Germany after his state visit to the UK, | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
Mr President, thank you very much very much for talking to us. | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
I think it is better to say that your visit, | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
even more than usual, has created a stir. | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
People saying, OK, we have a special relationship, and yet that special | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
relationship could involve going to the back of a queue - how | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Actually, the special relationship is not contingent on any | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
There are emotional and cultural and commercial and strategic bonds | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
between our two countries which aren't matched by any two | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
As a practical matter, what we're doing with respect | :02:44. | :02:54. | |
to trade is negotiating with big blocs of countries. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Because negotiating trade deals is a heavy lift, | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
they are challenging, they are difficult. | :03:02. | :03:02. | |
It is the phrase, isn't it, back of the queue, which has | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
I suppose offended some people and alarmed others, or scared them - | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
No, as I said, it wasn't simply a response to think the argument | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
that I have heard from others who are proposing to leave the EU, | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
that somehow America would be able to do things | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
more quickly with the UK than if they were in | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
And I was simply indicating that that would not be the case in this | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
The UK would not be able to negotiate something | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
with the United States faster than the EU. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
We wouldn't abandon our efforts to negotiate a trade deal | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
with our largest trading partner, the European market, | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
but rather it could be five years from now, | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
ten years from now, before we were able to actually | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
So maybe not right at the back of the queue, | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
maybe towards the back of the queue, is that right? | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
I think the broader point is that, if you're interested in trade, | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
we are on the cusp of getting a trade deal done with | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
If I am a business person or a worker in Britain and I'm | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
looking at the fact that I already have access, | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
seamlessly, with a massive market, one of the wealthiest | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
markets in the world, that accounts for 44% of my exports, | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
the idea that I'm going to be in a better position to export | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
and trade by being outside of that market, and not being in the room | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
setting the rules and standards by which trade takes place, | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
You've been very clear, the special relationship, | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
you have just said it, it is much more than trade. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
We have been focusing on lots of things, including | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
intelligence-sharing, given the very real threat | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
from terrorist groups around the world - is it possible | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
to say today that if there were an exit from the EU, | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
those elements of the special relationship wouldn't be affected, | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
They wouldn't be affected in the sense that our intelligence | :05:18. | :05:27. | |
teams work extremely closely, our militaries work | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
Our co-operation is not going to be changed, | :05:30. | :05:45. | |
our ability to do things together will not be changed. | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
What we do believe is that the United Kingdom will have | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
less influence in Europe, and as a consequence, | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
And since we rely heavily on the UK as a partner globally, | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
on a whole range of issues, we like you having more influence. | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
There will be some people watching, they put a much higher | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
price on the bond with the US than they do on the bond with | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
the EU. Sure. | :06:05. | :06:05. | |
And they will say, the president is very clear - | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
the special relationship is not going to be damaged by any decision | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
And if that's the case, we should not be concerned about coming out. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
That's how they will probably relay the argument - what | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
I guess, if the countries that are closest to you, that care | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
about you the most, the countries with whom you cooperate most | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
frequently, those who you have a special relationship with, | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
are suggesting to you that you might be better off staying in this | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
relationship with Europe, that's worth paying attention. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
My hope is that this is something that would have some influence | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
I don't anticipate that anything I have said will change the position | :06:44. | :06:53. | |
of those who are leading the campaigns in one | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
direction or another, but for ordinary voters, | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
I thought it would be relevant to hear what the President | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
of the United States, who loves the British people | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
and cares deeply about this relationship, has to say about it. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
Mr President, great honour to talk to you. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Well, Leave campaigners have branded Mr Obama "a lame duck President" | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
with just nine months left in the White House, and someone | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
who shouldn't have intervened in a British domestic debate. | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Our political correspondent Ben Wright is at Westminster. | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
How is the Leave campaign responding to the suggestion that a new trade | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
deal with America could take up to a decade? I think they will be pretty | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
glad that Air Force One has gone, because President Obama has given | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
them a tough time in the last few days, particularly on the question | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
of trade. Watching this interview, Roman and Leave supporters, like the | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
former Defence Secretary Liam Fox, say they noticed a change of tone | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
with regard to his comments about going to the back of the queue. Vote | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
Leave dismissed the idea it would take ten years to wrap up any | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
agreement, pointing out that the US have done them in two years with | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
other countries. And Ukip video Nigel Farage said that President | :08:16. | :08:16. | |
Obama was scaremongering. I think the American president | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
is coming out with the same rubbish that David Cameron is coming up | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
with - basically, the line is, Britain isn't capable | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
of negotiating its own deals Well, little countries | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
like Switzerland have more And if Australia, with | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
a tiny population in relative terms, can from start | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
to finish conclude a deal with America in ten months, | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
we can do even better Nigel Farage also said immigration | :08:42. | :08:56. | |
and border controls would be very important. Theresa May conceded the | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
obvious this morning, which is that the free movement of people made it | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
harder for the UK to curb immigration. That is what this | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
referendum is all about - all of these issues. We now know | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
emphatically what the president of the United States thinks. The | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
question is how that shapes the choice which voters make in two | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
months' time. BBC News understands the retailer | :09:15. | :09:24. | |
BHS could file for administration Sports Direct has been in talks | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
to buy some of its 164 stores, but a major sticking point has | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
been the huge deficit Here's our business | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
correspondent Joe Lynam. BHS has not exactly been lighting up | :09:37. | :09:47. | |
Britain's high street of late. Sharper and more nimble retailers | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
have stolen a march. Despite getting a number of major rent reductions | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
from its landlords last month, BHS has struggled to get other loans in | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
place with which to rejuvenate the brand. So, 13 months after it was | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
sold by Sir Philip Green for ?1, BHS looks like it could file for | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
administration as early as tomorrow. Problems at BHS didn't come as a | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
surprise to these shoppers in Leeds. The problem with BHS, who does it | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
appeal to? Maybe not to somebody of my age, or even younger ones. It is | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
stuck in no mans land. We like the trousers in there, that is all we | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
can say. It is a shame, because you always get really good customer | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
service in there. BHS opened its first shop in Brixton in 1928. In | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
the 1980s, it emerged with Mothercare and habitat. In 2000, Sir | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
Philip Green bought it for ?200 million. But he was not able to turn | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
the company around and he sold it for ?1 to an unknown consortium in | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
2015. One year later, the new owners have not been able to secure the | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
money to reinvent BHS and may be forced to call in the | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
administrators. Then there is the issue of the pension deficit, the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
difference between the money needed by BHS staff in retirement and what | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
has already been set aside. It currently stands at half ?1 billion. | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
They would probably be paid by the Government's pension protection | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
fund. That it raises the issue of how the company was run and whether | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
they will be able to find a new owner. The retail business in | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Britain is tough. It does not respect well-known brands. BHS may | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
find new owners, but it might just as easily disappear from our high | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
streets. Murder investigations have begun | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
into the deaths of two men found The bodies of Daniel Hatfield, | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
who was 52, and Matthew Higgins, who was 49, | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
were discovered on Friday. Two women and a man | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
have been arrested. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
has rejected a plan to try to avert the junior doctors strike due this | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Tuesday and Wednesday. The cross-party proposal, | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
backed by the Royal College of Surgeons, would see new contracts | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
tested at a limited number of hospitals, rather than being | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
imposed across the profession. With all the sport, here's | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes Leicester City's dream of a first | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Premier League title moved a step closer today after they thrashed | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
Swansea City 4-0 today. They're now eight points clear | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
with three games left. Our correspondent | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Andy Swiss reports. It is now or never, he said, | :12:28. | :12:44. | |
week. Claudio Ranieri's players emerged, without the suspended Jamie | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
Vardy, who was watching from the stands. Any fears that his team | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
might struggle without him did not last long. Ashley | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
might struggle without him did not an early gift, accepted by Riyad | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
Mahrez. Not a bad start, after ten minutes. And it got better come | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
thanks to Jamie Vardy's replacement. In a season of fairy tales, it | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
thanks to Jamie Vardy's replacement. the turn of Argentine Ulloa to ease | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
any nerves before the break. He then got number three after the break. | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
That is what euphoria looks like. In the closing minutes, Marc Albrighton | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
rounded off their perfect afternoon in suitably glorious style. | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
rounded off their perfect afternoon from the fans. Leicester now eight | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
points clear and a quite extraordinary title triumph is now | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
within touching distance. In the early kick-off, | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
Sunderland held Arsenal to a goalless draw to creep out | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
of the relegation zone. And there were wins | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
for Inverness and Hamilton Crystal Palace have | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
reached their first FA They beat Watford 2-1 at Wembley | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
to set up a repeat of the 1990 final Watford equalised, | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
but Connor Wickham scored The London Marathon | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
was won by Eliud Kipchoge The defending champion just missed | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
out on a world record. His Kenyan team-mate Jemima Sumgong | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
won the women's race The London Marathon is a fantastic | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
Joe Wilson reports. The London Marathon is a fantastic | :14:15. | :14:28. | |
expression of mass achievement, at a time of deep doubt in athletics. | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
Kenya's government has finally met anti-dumping standards, hoping to be | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
allowed to compete at the Olympics. There was nothing to doubt the | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
integrity of their runners here. Eliud Kipchoge was pushing up the | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
front, in the end, winning with ease, so smooth, he wondered if he | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
should have broken the world record. He missed it by some eight seconds. | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
The women's race was close. Jemima Sumgong another Kenyan, showed | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
extraordinary resilience to get to her feet after, win the race, | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
matching any feet of bravery in this event. David Weir, in white sleeves, | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
was trying again to win his record seventh London Marathon. But it was | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
taken by Marcel Hug. Dame Kelly Holmes extended herself with | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
Olympian strides to finish her first marathon in three hours 11 minutes. | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
For all competitors, the whole point of a marathon is to prove that | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
distance is no barrier. Well, this year, this race took that to | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
extremes. On the International Space Station, strapped to a treadmill in | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
the absence of gravity, Tim Peake ran the gruelling 26 miles 385 | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
yards, and finished where he had started. | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
While Leicester's football team are still on course for glory, | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
there was heartbreak for the city's rugby union side. | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
They missed out on the final of the European Champions Cup, | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
narrowly beaten by Racing 92 despite a late comeback. | :16:00. | :16:00. | |
19-16 the final score in Nottingham. | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel, | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
and we're back with the late news at Ten. | :16:11. | :16:12. |
