Referendum battle lines are drawn over the health service - | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
and the chances of Turkey joining the EU. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
With controversy over what future migration levels might be, | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
David Cameron clashes with one of his own ministers | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
on whether Britain could veto Turkish membership. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
The head of NHS England says the health service would be | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
affected if a UK exit caused an economic slowdown. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
We'll be exploring the latest arguments from the two sides - | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
The drone strike on a Taliban target - Afghanistan confirms the militant | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
The SNP's Deputy leader - Stewart Hosie - says he won't be | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
seeking re-election after reports of an extra-marital affair. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
And on his way - Louis Van Gaal leaves the Manchester United hotel - | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
but still no official word on Jose Mourinho's appointment. | :00:53. | :01:16. | |
The two sides in the EU referendum campaign have clashed over | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
the chances of Turkey joining the European Union. | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
David Cameron has accused those campaigning to leave - | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
including one of his own ministers - of making misleading claims. | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Defence Minister Penny Mourdant said the UK was powerless to prevent | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
countries like Turkey becoming full EU members, but the Prime Minister | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
insisted Britain would be able to block such a move. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Here's our political correspondent Alex Forsyth. | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
Sitting on Europe's south-east flank, Turkey is now centre of the | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
referendum battle. Its role in tackling the migrant crisis has | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
renewed calls for it to join the EU, and that has allowed those who want | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
the UK to leave to raise questions about immigration and security. Like | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
this minister who today wrongly claimed the UK had no power to stop | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Turkey joining. We are not going to be able... I thought taxation was | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
something each country could veto if it wants to? No, I do not think the | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
EU is going to keep Turkey out. Her boss David Cameron said such | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
assertions dented the Leave campaign's credibility. If you | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
consider this as their whole argument about why you we should | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
leave, that really calls into question their judgment. We have a | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
veto, every country has a veto, and let's be clear, as Boris himself | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
said, Turkey joining the EU is not remotely on the cards. But rewind | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
six years, David Cameron was in Ankara promoting Turkey joining. I | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
will remain your strongest advocate for EU membership. As was the Leave | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
campaign Boris Johnson in this documentary. What are we saying if | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
we keep Turkey out because it is dominantly Muslim? Turkey first | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
applied for full membership in 1987. Talks have stalled, but because the | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
EU needs Turkey's help in tackling the migrant crisis, accession talks | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
will be read energised. Turkey has to meet a whole series of criteria | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
and address concerns about press freedom, human rights and tensions | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
about Cyprus. And even then, any country can veto membership which | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
also needs approval from their national parliaments. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Turkey's biggest supporter when it comes to mention, has historically | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
been the UK. We think pushing for membership because increasing the | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
size of the market will be good. It is in fact some way off but it is | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
being talked about, not least in a referendum campaign, where migration | :04:04. | :04:04. | |
issues really matter. The health service was also part | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
of today's EU referendum arguments with the head of NHS England | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
expressing concerns about how its funding might be affected | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
if a vote to leave the EU Our political correspondent, | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Ellie Price, reports. It is a central issue in this EU | :04:15. | :04:29. | |
referendum debate. Will our health service be better if we remain in | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
the European Union or if we vote to lead it? Now the man in charge of | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
the NHS in England has given his assessment about what a vote to | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
leave might entail. When the British economy sneezes the NHS catches a | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
cold. This would be a terrible moment for this to happen, add | :04:47. | :04:58. | |
precisely the time the NHS is going to need extra investment. His | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
intervention comes less than a fortnight after the governor of the | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Bank of England said leaving the EU could lead to recession. It could | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
have economic effects. That led to calls for his resignation from some | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
key Leave campaigners who accused him of overstepping the mark. But | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
Simon Stevens said he took Mr Carney's forecasts very seriously. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
He said 100,000 doctors could quit the service. As chief executive of | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
the NHS in England, Simon Stevens is in charge Briton's biggest employer. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
There is no doubt his intervention today is highly significant. It is | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
highly political. And for some like Mark Carney before him, it is highly | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
unwelcome. He is an individual, he has a view on the European Union, | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
that is fine, but his basic job is looking after the NHS and he is | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
currently making a very considerable mess of. The Vote Leave campaign | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
released this video today to illustrate how it believed the NHS | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
would be better off if Britain left the EU. Every week the UK pays ?350 | :06:03. | :06:15. | |
million to be part of the EU. That is a figure Remain campaigners say | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
is inaccurate when you factor in the rebate from contributions. Both | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
insist the feature of the NHS depends on the outcome of the | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
referendum but both have very different visions about how to | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
achieve it. And the BBC's Reality Check team has | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
been looking at the claims on Turkish membership - | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
as well as other issues You can find their analysis | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
at bbc.co.uk/realitycheck. Officials in Afghanistan have | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
confirmed that the leader of the Afghan Taliban - | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
Mullah Mansour - has been killed His car was targeted yesterday | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
in a remote area of Pakistan. US officials believed him to be | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
behind much of the Our correspondent | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
Caroline Hawley reports. Several drones were apparently used | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
in the strike, said to have been In the burnt out car which had been | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
travelling close to Pakistan's border with Afghanistan were two | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
men, among them Mullah Mansour. He has been the official leader | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
of the Taliban since last summer, he has been busy trying | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
to tighten his grip on the movement. Mansour posed a continuing, | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
imminent threat to US personnel in Afghanistan, Afghan civilians, | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Afghan security forces. Since he took over, there has been | :07:31. | :07:40. | |
an increase in violence This was the aftermath | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
of a suicide bombing The Americans said Mullah Mansour | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
had been actively involved The Afghan government said he had | :07:46. | :08:01. | |
rebuffed repeated calls to end the war. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
TRANSLATION: He was a barrier for the peace talks, | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
and from the date he was announced as the Taliban leader, | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
he was behind lots of violence against the Afghan people. | :08:09. | :08:18. | |
Mullah Mansour took over when it was announced Miller Omar had died three | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
years earlier. His deputy has a ?3.5 million bounty on his head and is | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
seen as more hostile and hard line. But it is not clear who will succeed | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
Mullah Mansour and what direction the Taliban will take. Under his | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
leadership, the Taliban have expanded their territory, but the | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
group are likely to be caught up in a battle for succession and the | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
theories that could give militants from the so-called Islamic State a | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
chance to increase their influence. The question for war weary Afghans | :08:53. | :09:02. | |
is what impact his death will ultimately have on their desperate | :09:03. | :09:03. | |
hopes for security. Votes are being counted in Austria | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
after a closely fought presidential election that could result | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
in victory for the far-right Exit polls say he is running neck | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
and neck with his rival. Let's join our correspondent | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
Jenny Hill who's in Vienna. Given how close it is, how soon | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
might we have a result? This is so close we may not have a result until | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
tomorrow. Opinion polls suggest the electorate is split right down the | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
middle between two candidates. One, a far left politician, the other, | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
younger candidate from the far right. His name is Norbert Hofer. He | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
represents the Freedom party. It is antiestablishment, anti-EU, | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
anti-migrant. It has been doing very well in Austria for some time but it | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
has received a substantial boost among the electorate following the | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
refugee crisis. If you look around, it really feels the eyes of Europe | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
are on Austria tonight, and that is because they are. That is because Mr | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
Hofer represents the success of the rise of far right parties across the | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
EU. There are similar parties in France, Germany, Poland and Hungary, | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
the list goes on. There are some of those comments which keep coming up | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
again and again right at the heart of the EU. This is about populism | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
versus the establishment, nationalist interests versus those | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
of the European Union. We will have to wait until tomorrow to find out | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
who is victorious, but Mr Hofer has succeeded in one respect, he has | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
exposed once again the fault lines running through the EU. Thank you. | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Egypt's President - Abdel Fattah al-Sisi - | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
has warned the investigation into the EgyptAir plane crash | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
Some wreckage, but not the black boxes, has been found and a | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
The Airbus jet carrying 66 people crashed into the sea while flying | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
The SNP deputy leader Stewart Hosie has announced | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
he'll step down in the autumn, after widespread allegations that | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Our Scotland correspondent, James Shaw, is in Glasgow. | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
How much more do we know? In his letter to his boss, the leader of | :11:24. | :11:32. | |
the SNP, Stewart Hosie apologises for what he described as the hurt | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
and upset, caused by the stories about him in the papers, stories | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
about an extramarital affair with a journalist. He apologises for that | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
and says the stress caused by the scrutiny on his private life, | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
combined with health problems, he does have high blood pressure, those | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
things mean he feels he cannot carry on with his job. Nicola Sturgeon has | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
accepted his resignation. She has thanked him for the work he has | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
done. But it does leave her with a problem. This summer, the SNP is | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
supposed to be launching an initiative to boost support for | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
independence, and Stewart Hosie was supposed to be a big part of that | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
plan. Thank you. There's no official word as yet | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
from Manchester United about the replacement of its manager | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Louis Van Gaal - with Jose Mourinho - | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
formerly of Chelsea. Today Louis Van Gaal left the team's | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
hotel in London apparently without any formal notification | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
from the club, a day after victory Here's our sports correspondent | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
Katie Gornall. His weight is nearly over. Five | :12:36. | :12:47. | |
months after he was sacked by Chelsea, Jose Mourinho is set for a | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
sensational return to management. It might be news to the man he will | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
replace. This morning, Louis van Gaal left Manchester United's London | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
hotel, without being told by the club but it was time to say goodbye. | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
12 hours earlier he was celebrating victory in the FA Cup, a trophy that | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
will now be a parting gift. Despite spending millions on players, they | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
failed to qualify for the Champions League. While this unfolded, | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Mourinho was watching boxing at the O2. It is understood an agreement | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
with Manchester United had already been reached. It is quite exciting, | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
especially with Pep Guardiola being at Manchester City. I think it | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
needed change and with a manager at this time, I think Mourinho is the | :13:40. | :13:48. | |
best person for the job. Sir Alex Ferguson won several trophies during | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
his time at the club. Rooney's record is not suggest that longevity | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
but he will be trying to step out from Ferguson's shadow. Mourinho won | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
three Premier League titles during spells with Chelsea. He has also won | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
trophies with Inter Milan and Real Madrid. He is an exceptional manager | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
and he will make the Premier League very exciting. This season since he | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
has gone, press conferences as being a bit dull. If nothing else, it | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
gives us something to talk about. Mourinho left Chelsea in December | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
after a spectacular slump in fall and public fallouts with medical | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
staff. United have decided he is a risk worth taking. | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
We have still had no comment or confirmation. In the coming days | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
Jose Mourinho will be confirmed as Manchester United's manager. There | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
will be a real challenge to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City next | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
season. He will face questions about his behaviour but it will be a | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
positive thing for supporters who have grown tired of the Louis van | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
Gaal regime. Thank you. | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
England's footballers are playing Turkey at the Etihad Stadium | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
in Manchester as part of their preparations for this | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
They went in front early on through Harry Kane, although | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
And we return to the forthcoming EU Referendum. | :15:26. | :15:40. | |
The decision over whether to stay in or leave the EU has led to many | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
questions about what it would mean for Northern Ireland. | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
It's the only part of the UK to share a land border | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
And with the debate focusing on issues like immigration, | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
security and trade there are many asking if there would have | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
Here's our correspondent Chris Buckler, whose report contains | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
Fermanagh sits at the edge of the UK. | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
There is a point in this land where Northern Ireland ends | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
But could that invisible border soon mark the line | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
What looks like a haphazard red line on that map is actually the border | :16:13. | :16:26. | |
and on this one road come as you are travelling down it, | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
you move in and out of the Republic of Ireland | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
In fact, coming up here we're just going back | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
But during the violent years of Northern Ireland's Troubles, | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
there was huge security whether two countries met and some are asking | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
whether checkpoints would return if the UK | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
We have such good relations now that we will be able to build | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
on that and I don't foresee watchtowers going back | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
in South Armagh, if that is what the question is. | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
Nobody means watchtowers, but we need some kind | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
of checkpoints that says there's a physical border there? | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
There are borders all across Europe and those things will be negotiated | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
Northern Ireland's First Minister is a supporter of the Leave campaign. | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
But other parties at Stormont worry about the potential impact | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
of an exit on the economy here, and the government in the Republic | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Approximately ?1 billion of goods and services is traded | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
between the UK and Ireland every week. | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Towns along this shared border have benefited from European peace money. | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
It's helped to build among other things this sports facility | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
The town's most famous son is former world boxing champion | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
In the fight over Europe, he's not sure which corner to be in. | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
The south has benefited enormously from being part of Europe. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
I'm still relatively undecided about whether I now live in the UK | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
or whether they should be part of Europe or not, | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
and none of the politicians have convinced me, | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
that's the interesting thing, but my gut feeling tells me | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
that the UK should be part of Europe. | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
Politically and practically, checkpoints on Irish roads | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
might not be an option, but if Britain was outside of EU | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
and the Irish Republic within, migration controls be necessary. | :18:21. | :18:32. | |
Currently, you don't need a passport to travel between these islands. | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
But with modern security concerns some have suggested that | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
I think you should have to show passports regardless. | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
You're on a ferry, it could be anybody getting on this ferry. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
It could be terrorists getting on the ferry. | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
But other travellers, used to crossing seasoned borders, | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
don't like the idea of new restrictions. | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
Where we live borders is completely insane. | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Britain and Ireland have always sat apart from the rest | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
of Europe geographically, but this referendum is about where | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
the UK sits politically, and the final decision will make | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel, | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
we are back with the late news at 10.30pm. | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
Now on BBC One it's time for the news where you are. | :19:26. | :19:26. |
