:01:23. > :01:26.David Cameron has accused those campaigning to leave -
:01:27. > :01:28.including one of his own ministers - of making misleading claims.
:01:29. > :01:32.Defence Minister Penny Mourdant said the UK was powerless to prevent
:01:33. > :01:37.countries like Turkey becoming full EU members, but the Prime Minister
:01:38. > :01:40.insisted Britain would be able to block such a move.
:01:41. > :01:48.Here's our political correspondent Alex Forsyth.
:01:49. > :01:55.Sitting on Europe's south-east flank, Turkey is now centre of the
:01:56. > :02:00.referendum battle. Its role in tackling the migrant crisis has
:02:01. > :02:04.renewed calls for it to join the EU, and that has allowed those who want
:02:05. > :02:08.the UK to leave to raise questions about immigration and security. Like
:02:09. > :02:12.this minister who today wrongly claimed the UK had no power to stop
:02:13. > :02:20.Turkey joining. We are not going to be able... I thought taxation was
:02:21. > :02:28.something each country could veto if it wants to? No, I do not think the
:02:29. > :02:33.EU is going to keep Turkey out. Her boss David Cameron said such
:02:34. > :02:35.assertions dented the Leave campaign's credibility. If you
:02:36. > :02:39.consider this as their whole argument about why you we should
:02:40. > :02:44.leave, that really calls into question their judgment. We have a
:02:45. > :02:49.veto, every country has a veto, and let's be clear, as Boris himself
:02:50. > :02:56.said, Turkey joining the EU is not remotely on the cards. But rewind
:02:57. > :03:01.six years, David Cameron was in Ankara promoting Turkey joining. I
:03:02. > :03:07.will remain your strongest advocate for EU membership. As was the Leave
:03:08. > :03:13.campaign Boris Johnson in this documentary. What are we saying if
:03:14. > :03:18.we keep Turkey out because it is dominantly Muslim? Turkey first
:03:19. > :03:22.applied for full membership in 1987. Talks have stalled, but because the
:03:23. > :03:29.EU needs Turkey's help in tackling the migrant crisis, accession talks
:03:30. > :03:34.will be read energised. Turkey has to meet a whole series of criteria
:03:35. > :03:38.and address concerns about press freedom, human rights and tensions
:03:39. > :03:42.about Cyprus. And even then, any country can veto membership which
:03:43. > :03:47.also needs approval from their national parliaments.
:03:48. > :03:53.Turkey's biggest supporter when it comes to mention, has historically
:03:54. > :03:57.been the UK. We think pushing for membership because increasing the
:03:58. > :04:03.size of the market will be good. It is in fact some way off but it is
:04:04. > :04:04.being talked about, not least in a referendum campaign, where migration
:04:05. > :04:07.issues really matter. The health service was also part
:04:08. > :04:09.of today's EU referendum arguments with the head of NHS England
:04:10. > :04:12.expressing concerns about how its funding might be affected
:04:13. > :04:14.if a vote to leave the EU Our political correspondent,
:04:15. > :04:29.Ellie Price, reports. It is a central issue in this EU
:04:30. > :04:33.referendum debate. Will our health service be better if we remain in
:04:34. > :04:37.the European Union or if we vote to lead it? Now the man in charge of
:04:38. > :04:43.the NHS in England has given his assessment about what a vote to
:04:44. > :04:46.leave might entail. When the British economy sneezes the NHS catches a
:04:47. > :04:58.cold. This would be a terrible moment for this to happen, add
:04:59. > :05:01.precisely the time the NHS is going to need extra investment. His
:05:02. > :05:04.intervention comes less than a fortnight after the governor of the
:05:05. > :05:06.Bank of England said leaving the EU could lead to recession. It could
:05:07. > :05:11.have economic effects. That led to calls for his resignation from some
:05:12. > :05:16.key Leave campaigners who accused him of overstepping the mark. But
:05:17. > :05:20.Simon Stevens said he took Mr Carney's forecasts very seriously.
:05:21. > :05:28.He said 100,000 doctors could quit the service. As chief executive of
:05:29. > :05:33.the NHS in England, Simon Stevens is in charge Briton's biggest employer.
:05:34. > :05:38.There is no doubt his intervention today is highly significant. It is
:05:39. > :05:43.highly political. And for some like Mark Carney before him, it is highly
:05:44. > :05:48.unwelcome. He is an individual, he has a view on the European Union,
:05:49. > :05:55.that is fine, but his basic job is looking after the NHS and he is
:05:56. > :05:59.currently making a very considerable mess of. The Vote Leave campaign
:06:00. > :06:02.released this video today to illustrate how it believed the NHS
:06:03. > :06:15.would be better off if Britain left the EU. Every week the UK pays ?350
:06:16. > :06:20.million to be part of the EU. That is a figure Remain campaigners say
:06:21. > :06:25.is inaccurate when you factor in the rebate from contributions. Both
:06:26. > :06:28.insist the feature of the NHS depends on the outcome of the
:06:29. > :06:29.referendum but both have very different visions about how to
:06:30. > :06:32.achieve it. And the BBC's Reality Check team has
:06:33. > :06:34.been looking at the claims on Turkish membership -
:06:35. > :06:36.as well as other issues You can find their analysis
:06:37. > :06:41.at bbc.co.uk/realitycheck. Officials in Afghanistan have
:06:42. > :06:44.confirmed that the leader of the Afghan Taliban -
:06:45. > :06:47.Mullah Mansour - has been killed His car was targeted yesterday
:06:48. > :06:53.in a remote area of Pakistan. US officials believed him to be
:06:54. > :06:55.behind much of the Our correspondent
:06:56. > :07:03.Caroline Hawley reports. Several drones were apparently used
:07:04. > :07:05.in the strike, said to have been In the burnt out car which had been
:07:06. > :07:12.travelling close to Pakistan's border with Afghanistan were two
:07:13. > :07:18.men, among them Mullah Mansour. He has been the official leader
:07:19. > :07:25.of the Taliban since last summer, he has been busy trying
:07:26. > :07:27.to tighten his grip on the movement. Mansour posed a continuing,
:07:28. > :07:30.imminent threat to US personnel in Afghanistan, Afghan civilians,
:07:31. > :07:40.Afghan security forces. Since he took over, there has been
:07:41. > :07:42.an increase in violence This was the aftermath
:07:43. > :07:45.of a suicide bombing The Americans said Mullah Mansour
:07:46. > :08:01.had been actively involved The Afghan government said he had
:08:02. > :08:04.rebuffed repeated calls to end the war.
:08:05. > :08:06.TRANSLATION: He was a barrier for the peace talks,
:08:07. > :08:08.and from the date he was announced as the Taliban leader,
:08:09. > :08:18.he was behind lots of violence against the Afghan people.
:08:19. > :08:27.Mullah Mansour took over when it was announced Miller Omar had died three
:08:28. > :08:32.years earlier. His deputy has a ?3.5 million bounty on his head and is
:08:33. > :08:37.seen as more hostile and hard line. But it is not clear who will succeed
:08:38. > :08:41.Mullah Mansour and what direction the Taliban will take. Under his
:08:42. > :08:44.leadership, the Taliban have expanded their territory, but the
:08:45. > :08:48.group are likely to be caught up in a battle for succession and the
:08:49. > :08:52.theories that could give militants from the so-called Islamic State a
:08:53. > :09:02.chance to increase their influence. The question for war weary Afghans
:09:03. > :09:03.is what impact his death will ultimately have on their desperate
:09:04. > :09:06.hopes for security. Votes are being counted in Austria

:09:09. > :09:11.in victory for the far-right Exit polls say he is running neck
:09:12. > :09:20.and neck with his rival. Let's join our correspondent
:09:21. > :09:29.Jenny Hill who's in Vienna. Given how close it is, how soon
:09:30. > :09:35.might we have a result? This is so close we may not have a result until
:09:36. > :09:39.tomorrow. Opinion polls suggest the electorate is split right down the
:09:40. > :09:43.middle between two candidates. One, a far left politician, the other,
:09:44. > :09:51.younger candidate from the far right. His name is Norbert Hofer. He
:09:52. > :09:54.represents the Freedom party. It is antiestablishment, anti-EU,
:09:55. > :09:59.anti-migrant. It has been doing very well in Austria for some time but it
:10:00. > :10:06.has received a substantial boost among the electorate following the
:10:07. > :10:09.refugee crisis. If you look around, it really feels the eyes of Europe
:10:10. > :10:16.are on Austria tonight, and that is because they are. That is because Mr
:10:17. > :10:21.Hofer represents the success of the rise of far right parties across the
:10:22. > :10:26.EU. There are similar parties in France, Germany, Poland and Hungary,
:10:27. > :10:31.the list goes on. There are some of those comments which keep coming up
:10:32. > :10:36.again and again right at the heart of the EU. This is about populism
:10:37. > :10:40.versus the establishment, nationalist interests versus those
:10:41. > :10:46.of the European Union. We will have to wait until tomorrow to find out
:10:47. > :10:50.who is victorious, but Mr Hofer has succeeded in one respect, he has
:10:51. > :10:54.exposed once again the fault lines running through the EU. Thank you.
:10:55. > :10:56.Egypt's President - Abdel Fattah al-Sisi -

:11:08. > :11:11.The SNP deputy leader Stewart Hosie has announced
:11:12. > :11:15.he'll step down in the autumn, after widespread allegations that
:11:16. > :11:23.Our Scotland correspondent, James Shaw, is in Glasgow.
:11:24. > :11:32.How much more do we know? In his letter to his boss, the leader of
:11:33. > :11:38.the SNP, Stewart Hosie apologises for what he described as the hurt
:11:39. > :11:45.and upset, caused by the stories about him in the papers, stories
:11:46. > :11:50.about an extramarital affair with a journalist. He apologises for that
:11:51. > :11:54.and says the stress caused by the scrutiny on his private life,
:11:55. > :11:58.combined with health problems, he does have high blood pressure, those
:11:59. > :12:04.things mean he feels he cannot carry on with his job. Nicola Sturgeon has
:12:05. > :12:09.accepted his resignation. She has thanked him for the work he has
:12:10. > :12:13.done. But it does leave her with a problem. This summer, the SNP is
:12:14. > :12:17.supposed to be launching an initiative to boost support for
:12:18. > :12:20.independence, and Stewart Hosie was supposed to be a big part of that
:12:21. > :12:22.plan. Thank you. There's no official word as yet
:12:23. > :12:25.from Manchester United about the replacement of its manager
:12:26. > :12:27.Louis Van Gaal - with Jose Mourinho -
:12:28. > :12:30.formerly of Chelsea. Today Louis Van Gaal left the team's
:12:31. > :12:32.hotel in London apparently without any formal notification
:12:33. > :12:35.from the club, a day after victory Here's our sports correspondent
:12:36. > :12:47.Katie Gornall. His weight is nearly over. Five
:12:48. > :12:52.months after he was sacked by Chelsea, Jose Mourinho is set for a
:12:53. > :12:56.sensational return to management. It might be news to the man he will
:12:57. > :13:00.replace. This morning, Louis van Gaal left Manchester United's London
:13:01. > :13:06.hotel, without being told by the club but it was time to say goodbye.
:13:07. > :13:13.12 hours earlier he was celebrating victory in the FA Cup, a trophy that
:13:14. > :13:16.will now be a parting gift. Despite spending millions on players, they
:13:17. > :13:20.failed to qualify for the Champions League. While this unfolded,
:13:21. > :13:25.Mourinho was watching boxing at the O2. It is understood an agreement
:13:26. > :13:31.with Manchester United had already been reached. It is quite exciting,
:13:32. > :13:39.especially with Pep Guardiola being at Manchester City. I think it
:13:40. > :13:48.needed change and with a manager at this time, I think Mourinho is the
:13:49. > :13:54.best person for the job. Sir Alex Ferguson won several trophies during
:13:55. > :13:58.his time at the club. Rooney's record is not suggest that longevity
:13:59. > :14:05.but he will be trying to step out from Ferguson's shadow. Mourinho won
:14:06. > :14:11.three Premier League titles during spells with Chelsea. He has also won
:14:12. > :14:15.trophies with Inter Milan and Real Madrid. He is an exceptional manager
:14:16. > :14:21.and he will make the Premier League very exciting. This season since he
:14:22. > :14:26.has gone, press conferences as being a bit dull. If nothing else, it
:14:27. > :14:32.gives us something to talk about. Mourinho left Chelsea in December
:14:33. > :14:38.after a spectacular slump in fall and public fallouts with medical
:14:39. > :14:47.staff. United have decided he is a risk worth taking.
:14:48. > :14:52.We have still had no comment or confirmation. In the coming days
:14:53. > :15:00.Jose Mourinho will be confirmed as Manchester United's manager. There
:15:01. > :15:04.will be a real challenge to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City next
:15:05. > :15:12.season. He will face questions about his behaviour but it will be a
:15:13. > :15:14.positive thing for supporters who have grown tired of the Louis van
:15:15. > :15:17.Gaal regime. Thank you.

:15:46. > :15:48.It's the only part of the UK to share a land border
:15:49. > :15:51.And with the debate focusing on issues like immigration,

:16:13. > :16:26.What looks like a haphazard red line on that map is actually the border

:16:33. > :16:35.In fact, coming up here we're just going back
:16:36. > :16:39.But during the violent years of Northern Ireland's Troubles,

:18:14. > :18:16.Politically and practically, checkpoints on Irish roads
:18:17. > :18:20.might not be an option, but if Britain was outside of EU
