:00:09. > :00:16.The ex-heads of MI6 and MI5 say intelligence sharing could be

:00:17. > :00:23.We would not be able to take part in the decisions that frame

:00:24. > :00:25.the sharing of data, which is a crucial part

:00:26. > :00:27.of counter-terrorism and counter-cyber work

:00:28. > :00:32.We have by far the best and most effective intelligence services

:00:33. > :00:35.in Europe, so there every reason to suppose that we would be able

:00:36. > :00:41.to negotiate a perfectly satisfactory agreement.

:00:42. > :00:44.We'll be looking at the debate on security and the EU ahead

:00:45. > :00:46.of a speech tomorrow by the Prime Minister.

:00:47. > :00:50.Also tonight: Canada's wildfires continue to rage -

:00:51. > :00:52.but cooler temperatures are raising hopes of bringing

:00:59. > :01:04.Ahead of the opening of the Invictus Games in Florida,

:01:05. > :01:12.Prince Harry on his public role and his private life.

:01:13. > :01:35.A good night for the BBC at the television Baftas.

:01:36. > :01:39.Two former heads of Britain's intelligence and security services

:01:40. > :01:43.have said the UK's ability to protect itself could be

:01:44. > :01:46.undermined by a vote to leave the European Union.

:01:47. > :01:49.Sir John Sawers, who stepped down as the head of MI6

:01:50. > :01:53.in 2014, and Lord Evans - who led its domestic counterpart MI5

:01:54. > :01:56.until three years ago - say a British exit could damage

:01:57. > :02:01.intelligence-sharing and destabilise the rest of Europe.

:02:02. > :02:04.But the Vote Leave campaign says the UK would be safer

:02:05. > :02:11.Here's our security correspondent, Frank Gardner.

:02:12. > :02:13.Out of the shadows and into the debate,

:02:14. > :02:20.said today that Britain is safer off staying in the EU.

:02:21. > :02:23.Jonathan Evans ran MI5, John Sawers ran MI6,

:02:24. > :02:30.They say sharing datasets on terror suspects

:02:31. > :02:36.If Britain left, it would receive less data.

:02:37. > :02:39.The former MI6 spy chief says Britain could no longer shape

:02:40. > :02:43.the debate on balancing privacy with security.

:02:44. > :02:46.We have built the structures in the last 30 or 40 years.

:02:47. > :02:49.And we, Britain, have played a very important role,

:02:50. > :02:51.especially in making sure the security dimension

:02:52. > :02:57.and properly integrated into the EU decisions taken.

:02:58. > :03:02.If we walk away from it, we will lose a lot of those gains.

:03:03. > :03:05.But others say cross-border co-operation would continue,

:03:06. > :03:09.EU governments would still feel morally obliged to pass

:03:10. > :03:13.on intelligence that could save lives -

:03:14. > :03:19.and they need British intelligence in turn.

:03:20. > :03:20.Europe's borders and EU laws are being

:03:21. > :03:22.quoted by both sides of the argument.

:03:23. > :03:24.The two former spy chiefs say worries over border controls

:03:25. > :03:30.as the UK is not part of the Schengen free movement zone

:03:31. > :03:33.has led to over 5,000 people being extradited

:03:34. > :03:39.But another former MI6 chief, Sir Richard Dearlove,

:03:40. > :03:41.says Brexit would give Britain greater control

:03:42. > :03:44.over migrants coming from the continent

:03:45. > :03:47.and today, a previous Home Secretary welcomed the chance

:03:48. > :03:50.to be rid of the European Court of Justice,

:03:51. > :03:58.The European Court of Justice interferes in all sorts of ways

:03:59. > :04:05.It is even considering at the moment a case involving the surveillance

:04:06. > :04:10.agreements that we recently put in place in this country,

:04:11. > :04:12.which the Home Secretary said are absolutely critical

:04:13. > :04:16.to protect our people and to make this country safe.

:04:17. > :04:22.The former MI6 and MI5 chiefs say Europe's long period

:04:23. > :04:25.of post-war stability would be in jeopardy

:04:26. > :04:29.if a British exit led to the EU disintegrating.

:04:30. > :04:34.Vote Leave, say Britain's security, is hitched to Nato, not the EU.

:04:35. > :04:37.The people who work in this building, MI6,

:04:38. > :04:40.and their colleagues down the road at MI5,

:04:41. > :04:42.have been careful not to get drawn into

:04:43. > :04:45.the public debate over the EU referendum.

:04:46. > :04:47.But Sir John Sawers and Lord Evans both left secret intelligence

:04:48. > :04:51.so they are free to speak their minds.

:04:52. > :04:55.And the intervention they have made today makes them probably

:04:56. > :04:58.the most authoritative voices so far from the world of intelligence

:04:59. > :05:01.to express their opinions on whether Britain is safer

:05:02. > :05:09.When you have prominent people from the intelligence apparatus

:05:10. > :05:12.talking about Brexit, it is important, it is significant

:05:13. > :05:16.but then, equally, a lot of people that have served in intelligence

:05:17. > :05:20.and police have said it will have no ramifications whatsoever.

:05:21. > :05:23.Both men insist their views are independent of Downing Street,

:05:24. > :05:27.but what they have said today will undoubtedly be welcomed

:05:28. > :05:30.by David Cameron and the Remain camp.

:05:31. > :05:37.One of the leading campaigners for Britain to leave

:05:38. > :05:39.the European Union, the Justice Secretary Michael Gove,

:05:40. > :05:43.has confirmed that he also wants the UK to leave the single market.

:05:44. > :05:47.He said a post-Brexit UK should negotiate access to the market,

:05:48. > :05:52.But the Chancellor George Osborne said leaving the single market

:05:53. > :05:58.Our political correspondent Vicki Young reports.

:05:59. > :06:01.Britain's economy and our prosperity are at the heart of the argument

:06:02. > :06:04.over whether we should stay in the EU.

:06:05. > :06:07.Across manufacturing, retail and financial services,

:06:08. > :06:13.how we trade with other countries has an impact on jobs and prices.

:06:14. > :06:16.For those making the case to leave, there's one very important question.

:06:17. > :06:20.Do you want us to stay inside the single market, yes or no?

:06:21. > :06:22.No, we should be outside the single market.

:06:23. > :06:24.We should have access to the single market,

:06:25. > :06:27.but we should not be governed by the rules the European Court

:06:28. > :06:32.of Justice imposes on us, which cost business and restrict freedom.

:06:33. > :06:34.This is how the single market works at the moment.

:06:35. > :06:38.It allows goods, services and money to be bought and sold freely

:06:39. > :06:42.around the European Union, but there are rules which come alongside that.

:06:43. > :06:45.Free movement is one of them, which is why people can come

:06:46. > :06:59.Remain campaigners think Michael Gove's words

:07:00. > :07:05.We have just had the Leave campaign admit this morning that Britain

:07:06. > :07:07.That would be catastrophic for people's jobs,

:07:08. > :07:09.and their incomes and their livelihoods.

:07:10. > :07:14.Some people might think wrecking the economy is a price worth paying,

:07:15. > :07:18.But Lance Foreman, who runs a salmon smoking firm in East London,

:07:19. > :07:22.says small businesses are weighed down by EU red tape.

:07:23. > :07:27.Last year, we had to spend thousands of pounds printing new packaging

:07:28. > :07:30.so that a packet of smoked salmon could have a warning sign

:07:31. > :07:33.printed on the back which said "Contains fish".

:07:34. > :07:47.Just a huge, huge waste of unnecessary expenditure.

:07:48. > :07:50.It is a cloud cuckoo land world to imagine we would be able

:07:51. > :07:54.to have the same trade deals with the European Union having left

:07:55. > :08:02.Trade deals are very difficult to do.

:08:03. > :08:11.that will suffer from a British exit.

:08:12. > :08:15.causing a significant shock to the housing market.

:08:16. > :08:29.Yes, that's right and tomorrow, we live from Westminster.

:08:30. > :08:31.Yes, that's right and tomorrow, we will hear the Prime Minister move on

:08:32. > :08:35.to a new stage, moving away from will hear the Prime Minister move on

:08:36. > :08:40.economic arguments at making what we are told is a patriotic speech, the

:08:41. > :08:48.case for staying in, looking at history, talking about Churchill,

:08:49. > :08:53.showing us that World Wars, it means we should be part of the EU, it

:08:54. > :08:55.keeps a safe rather than being dictated to.

:08:56. > :08:57.keeps a safe rather than being Boris Johnson rejoins the fray,

:08:58. > :09:04.making what I am told is the liberal case for leaving the EU, saying the

:09:05. > :09:08.risk is staying in because there has been no reform despite what

:09:09. > :09:09.risk is staying in because there has Prime Minister says. Then later in

:09:10. > :09:13.the week, Mr Johnson will be unleashed on the nation, taking part

:09:14. > :09:18.in a tour visiting towns and villages across the country and

:09:19. > :09:21.those who want to leave say he has a more positive reaction from the

:09:22. > :09:28.public than any politician and they want to use that to their

:09:29. > :09:30.wildfire is spreading less quickly than feared.

:09:31. > :09:32.However, it is still expected to be the most costly natural disaster

:09:33. > :09:36.80,000 people have already been evacuated from the town

:09:37. > :09:39.of Fort McMurray - many fleeing south to Edmonton.

:09:40. > :09:45.Our correspondent Laura Bicker has the latest from the affected area.

:09:46. > :09:50.After the panic and the fear, there is quiet in Fort McMurray,

:09:51. > :09:55.They are still fighting to save what they can,

:09:56. > :09:58.and they may have finally reached a turning point,

:09:59. > :10:01.but it is taking its toll on those on the front line.

:10:02. > :10:10.But I have met more heroes in this experience

:10:11. > :10:20.Nature is finally lending a hand and cooler weather conditions

:10:21. > :10:24.are beginning to help, but strong winds fanning the flames

:10:25. > :10:28.towards the neighbouring province of Saskatchewan

:10:29. > :10:31.and officials believe this wildfire could burn for weeks to come.

:10:32. > :10:34.We are about 20 kilometres from the edge of Fort McMurray,

:10:35. > :10:38.day eight after these fires started,

:10:39. > :10:42.and still they are battling the flames.

:10:43. > :10:44.What they say they need is prolonged rainfall,

:10:45. > :10:47.but that is something they have not had here for over two months.

:10:48. > :10:50.The last evacuees have been airlifted from the city,

:10:51. > :10:55.The strategy has been one of containment, as conditions made

:10:56. > :11:02.80,000 people had to abandon their homes.

:11:03. > :11:05.The mass evacuation blocked the main roads and two people were killed

:11:06. > :11:14.I am hoping, in all of this crisis,

:11:15. > :11:22.to spend a few minutes today with my own children.

:11:23. > :11:25.That's not all of us can do that

:11:26. > :11:34.This is likely to be the most expensive natural disaster

:11:35. > :11:38.Insurance losses alone will be billions of dollars.

:11:39. > :11:41.And for those who once lived here, they must be asking how

:11:42. > :11:44.and when will they ever get the chance to rebuild?

:11:45. > :11:49.Laura Bicker, BBC News, Fort McMurray.

:11:50. > :11:51.Police and protestors have clashed outside the Greek parliament,

:11:52. > :11:54.as MPs vote on controversial new austerity measures.

:11:55. > :11:58.Thousands demonstrated peacefully, but some threw petrol bombs

:11:59. > :12:01.and other objects at officers, who responded with tear gas.

:12:02. > :12:05.Eurozone finance ministers are due to meet tomorrow to try to restart

:12:06. > :12:09.stalled talks on Greece's debt repayments.

:12:10. > :12:13.Police are investigating the death of a soldier in Powys.

:12:14. > :12:16.The man, who has not been identified, was found injured

:12:17. > :12:19.and unconscious on a street in Brecon at around one

:12:20. > :12:23.The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that he was a member

:12:24. > :12:27.A 23-year-old has been arrested and is being held in custody

:12:28. > :12:33.The new Mayor of London, Labour's Sadiq Khan,

:12:34. > :12:37.has warned that his party can win elections only if it reaches

:12:38. > :12:47.He says it's vital for Labour to be what he called a "big tent" -

:12:48. > :12:50.and emphasised its aim should be to improve people's lives.

:12:51. > :12:52.Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier is at

:12:53. > :12:55.After his decisive victory, how will Sadiq Khan use his

:12:56. > :13:10.It was the significant victory, Michelle. Sadiq Khan took the job of

:13:11. > :13:15.London Mayor and with it, City Hall, lit up in yellow behind me, from the

:13:16. > :13:20.Conservatives, winning more than a million votes. Arguably, he now has

:13:21. > :13:24.a bigger personal mandate than his party's leader. Labour suffered

:13:25. > :13:28.historic losses in Scotland last week and it failed to make progress

:13:29. > :13:31.in the local elections across England, so, fresh from his victory

:13:32. > :13:37.and speaking at a Holocaust Remembrance Day event, Sadiq Khan

:13:38. > :13:41.offered his colleagues some advice. What is important for the Labour

:13:42. > :13:45.Party is to get back winning elections. We can only improve

:13:46. > :13:49.people's lives and improve society by be in office, that means winning

:13:50. > :13:55.elections, local elections, general elections. The Labour Government has

:13:56. > :13:58.improved people's lives by being in Government and I'm hoping to speak

:13:59. > :14:02.to people who voted Labour last time to persuade them again that we can

:14:03. > :14:07.be a Labour Government. Of these remarks are being seen as a clear

:14:08. > :14:11.message to the party's leader that Labour cannot rely on its core vote

:14:12. > :14:16.alone to win, but there was also a warning from the Labour mayor to Mr

:14:17. > :14:21.Corbyn's critics to resist focusing on internal party problems. All

:14:22. > :14:26.sides on this know they need to present a united party. The

:14:27. > :14:30.difficulty, Labour MPs are divided on some key issues so finding that

:14:31. > :14:34.agreement, presenting that unity, is not easy.

:14:35. > :14:37.The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has told a gathering

:14:38. > :14:39.of his country's political and military elite that its nuclear

:14:40. > :14:41.weapons will not be used for a first strike.

:14:42. > :14:44.He was addressing a rare meeting of the Workers' Party Congress,

:14:45. > :14:48.which has taken place for the first time in 36 years and

:14:49. > :14:51.which he is thought to be using to consolidate his power.

:14:52. > :14:57.From Pyongyang, here's our correspondent John Sudworth.

:14:58. > :15:04.This is the North Korea on display to foreign journalists.

:15:05. > :15:07.The reality, in a country with chronic food shortages,

:15:08. > :15:18.And so too with the Workers Party Congress, an event

:15:19. > :15:22.in which propaganda is the primary purpose.

:15:23. > :15:31.For domestic audiences, it is a show of strength.

:15:32. > :15:34.For the outside world, though, a different message.

:15:35. > :15:36."We won't use our nuclear weapons unless we are attacked first,"

:15:37. > :15:40.the Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un told the delegates.

:15:41. > :15:43.Outside the Congress, the media bandwagon

:15:44. > :15:51.We are taken to this show home, a picture of comfort far removed

:15:52. > :15:58.And to a model factory, a symbol of industrial

:15:59. > :16:02.self-sufficiency at odds with the antiquated

:16:03. > :16:08.Of course, North Koreans know the reality, so they are

:16:09. > :16:19.Some countries have nuclear weapons and they threaten us.

:16:20. > :16:32.and develop it for our country, our people.

:16:33. > :16:36.North Korea has long been a master of nuclear brinkmanship.

:16:37. > :16:44.The leadership openly says it has learned the lessons of other rogue

:16:45. > :16:49.For the end of this party Congress, away in the city behind me,

:16:50. > :16:52.we have heard the sound of thousands of people preparing to celebrate

:16:53. > :16:55.what is seen as the defining victory - the simple fact of regime

:16:56. > :17:00.survival underwritten by a nuclear weapons programme.

:17:01. > :17:04.As those preparations continue tonight, there are reports that

:17:05. > :17:08.North Korea's fifth nuclear test may be imminent.

:17:18. > :17:19.so if you don't want to know what happened

:17:20. > :17:23.in the Scottish Premiership today, look away now.

:17:24. > :17:26.Celtic have been crowned champions after victory

:17:27. > :17:35.and they've lost just three league games all season.

:17:36. > :17:38.Prince Harry is in Florida for the start of the Invictus Games,

:17:39. > :17:41.the tournament for injured service personnel and veterans

:17:42. > :17:48.Ahead of the opening ceremony the prince has been speaking

:17:49. > :17:51.Ahead of the opening ceremony, the Prince has been speaking

:17:52. > :17:53.to the BBC about his involvement - and about what he called

:17:54. > :17:55."unnecessary" media intrusion into his private life.

:17:56. > :18:01.Let's join our correspondent Aleem Maqbool in Orlando.

:18:02. > :18:07.Yes, well, excitement is certainly building here in Orlando, the home,

:18:08. > :18:11.of course, Disney World, which is right next door to where the games

:18:12. > :18:15.are taking place. All of these people streaming in for the Opening

:18:16. > :18:20.Ceremony of the Invictus Games, which will happen in a couple of

:18:21. > :18:24.hours' time, attended by Prince Harry, Michelle Obama as well, but

:18:25. > :18:28.those really looking forward to this are those taking part, more than 500

:18:29. > :18:30.extraordinary athletes from 14 countries and we had the chance to

:18:31. > :18:32.meet some of them. A very Disney welcome for

:18:33. > :18:35.competitors at the Invictus Games - an event for injured or sick members

:18:36. > :18:38.of the armed forces from Britain It is all the vision

:18:39. > :18:43.of Prince Harry, who has been spending time with athletes

:18:44. > :18:46.as they prepare for competition. He created the first games in 2014,

:18:47. > :18:50.after wanting to do something for those he'd served

:18:51. > :18:54.with in his own time in the Army. Josh Boggi from Salisbury has

:18:55. > :18:58.hopes of a gold medal. He lost both legs and an arm

:18:59. > :19:02.after stepping on In London in 2014, we thought

:19:03. > :19:08.it was just going to be a big sports day and the public would just feel

:19:09. > :19:11.sorry for injured soldiers But the level of competitiveness

:19:12. > :19:16.was great, and you come to a place We all know the Americans

:19:17. > :19:21.like to put on a show, don't they? Well, as happy an event as this is,

:19:22. > :19:25.the reminders of the costs of war are all around, and Invictus isn't

:19:26. > :19:29.just about veterans with physical injuries, but those

:19:30. > :19:33.with psychological trauma as well. American Tino Uli suffered PTSD

:19:34. > :19:38.after several tours in Iraq. It is clear what he feels

:19:39. > :19:42.Prince Harry has done for him. It gives me the drive, gives me

:19:43. > :19:52.ambition to still accomplish things, But Prince Harry himself says

:19:53. > :19:56.he is frustrated his private life, not his charity work,

:19:57. > :20:00.is what some are interested in. There is this incessant need to find

:20:01. > :20:04.out every little detail about I hope that people get to see me

:20:05. > :20:11.here in this Invictus role, cracking on with the guys

:20:12. > :20:14.and mucking in and having a good time with them, and this

:20:15. > :20:17.what is I enjoy doing. But the the private life

:20:18. > :20:21.has to be private. For the next five days,

:20:22. > :20:23.Prince Harry says he hopes it is the remarkable athletes

:20:24. > :20:27.here who are the focus. The BBC has had a successful night

:20:28. > :20:36.at the TV Baftas in London tonight, winning more than half the awards -
