:00:10. > :00:11.Downing Street says Leave campaigners in the EU referendum,

:00:12. > :00:14.are trying to distract voters from the real economic cost

:00:15. > :00:19.It comes after two senior Conservatives told David Cameron,

:00:20. > :00:22.he must admit he can't cut immigration, while Britain

:00:23. > :00:27.A group of 18 Albanians including two children,

:00:28. > :00:33.are rescued adrift off the Kent coast.

:00:34. > :00:41.Hopefully, you know, somebody will try and put a stop to it because

:00:42. > :00:44.it's people's lives, right. . We are all concerned.

:00:45. > :00:48.On the front line in Fallujah, a special report on the battle

:00:49. > :00:56.The heart stopping moment a child is at the mercy of a gorilla,

:00:57. > :01:03.And drinks all round, as Lewis Hamilton wins his first

:01:04. > :01:28.Downing Street has dismissed claims by two senior Conservatives,

:01:29. > :01:32.that David Cameron will never be able to meet his pledge to cut

:01:33. > :01:35.immigration to tens of thousands, as long as Britain remains

:01:36. > :01:40.Number Ten says an open letter to the Prime Minister

:01:41. > :01:42.from the prominent Vote Leave campaigners Boris Johnson

:01:43. > :01:45.and Michael Gove, is a 'distraction' because they're unable to counter

:01:46. > :01:49.the economic arguments for remaining inside the European Union.

:01:50. > :01:51.But in a further sign of division in Conservative ranks,

:01:52. > :01:55.some backbench MPs have suggested the Prime Minister could face a vote

:01:56. > :02:01.Here's our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar.

:02:02. > :02:05.A moment of unity before the referendum.

:02:06. > :02:09.Now there are bitter rivals in the ranks - the mood of triumph

:02:10. > :02:11.after last May's election victory seems long ago,

:02:12. > :02:15.and David Cameron is being confronted where he and the campaign

:02:16. > :02:18.to remain in the EU is most vulnerable - the issue

:02:19. > :02:24.Boris Johnson has been close to David Cameron, but both know

:02:25. > :02:26.he wants his job and Michael Gove has been even closer,

:02:27. > :02:32.Now they have combined to tell their PM openly the Tory

:02:33. > :02:34.pledge to cut migration into Britain isn't worth the paper

:02:35. > :02:49.A fellow campaigner to get out of the EU wants to calm

:02:50. > :02:51.the confrontation, but stands by the warning.

:02:52. > :02:54.This needs to be a campaign that is relentlessly reasonable,

:02:55. > :02:56.and what we're doing from the Vote Leave side today

:02:57. > :03:04.Everyone involved in this debate needs to accept if we vote to remain

:03:05. > :03:07.in the European Union, we cannot set limits on the amount

:03:08. > :03:10.of people who come to live and work in the United Kingdom.

:03:11. > :03:13.Away from Westminster's war games to people with better

:03:14. > :03:16.things to do on Sunday, this issue still matters.

:03:17. > :03:20.I don't know what's going to make me vote which way, and I don't know

:03:21. > :03:22.which way I'm going to vote, but immigration is one thing, yeah.

:03:23. > :03:26.The amount of people coming over now, I think it's...

:03:27. > :03:29.To a small country like ours, I think we need to have

:03:30. > :03:35.If you've got 200,000 people trying to get into Britain, say,

:03:36. > :03:38.if you're in the EU, or if you're out of it,

:03:39. > :03:42.Between warring politicians it's grown personal.

:03:43. > :03:45.Minister Priti Patel's suggestion - Remain campaign leaders,

:03:46. > :03:49.who include the PM, are too privileged to understand how mass

:03:50. > :03:53.Downing Street says the Leave side is losing arguments

:03:54. > :03:59.Big names of the Remain camp say the Laavers are just plain wrong.

:04:00. > :04:02.I'm completely sensitive to the issue of immigration, and you

:04:03. > :04:07.What I'm completely opposed to, is their answer to it -

:04:08. > :04:14.But among Tory MPs, the chat over coffee

:04:15. > :04:19.There's no sign it's spread out of control yet,

:04:20. > :04:20.but Eurosceptics feel it is David Cameron's side

:04:21. > :04:25.One of the most militant has broken cover and gone public.

:04:26. > :04:29.I think there is at least 50 colleagues who are dissatisfied

:04:30. > :04:32.with the way that the Prime Minister has put himself front and centre

:04:33. > :04:36.of a fairly outrageous Remain campaign.

:04:37. > :04:38.And they would demand a vote of no confidence, you're saying?

:04:39. > :04:41.I think that's probably highly likely.

:04:42. > :04:44.Either way, there may now be enough angry Tories to make

:04:45. > :04:51.Everything rests on the vote, and the Prime Minister will need

:04:52. > :04:54.a win for his Remain campaign, and a big one, to see off his

:04:55. > :05:02.Well, as the immigration debate continues, 18 Albanian migrants had

:05:03. > :05:05.to be rescued off the Kent coast, after getting into

:05:06. > :05:11.All are now being questioned in Dover, with the incident

:05:12. > :05:13.intensifying arguments over Britain's ability to

:05:14. > :05:23.Katriona Renton reports from Dymchurch on the Kent coast.

:05:24. > :05:26.Border Force officials removing a boat from the beach

:05:27. > :05:29.here at Dymchurch this morning, as part of their investigation.

:05:30. > :05:32.On another small dinghy last night, 18 Albanian migrants and two Britons

:05:33. > :05:36.Among them, a woman and two children.

:05:37. > :05:39.The boat was taking on water when the coastguard scrambled

:05:40. > :05:42.the search and rescue helicopter and lifeboats.

:05:43. > :05:44.Locals in Dymchurch witnessed the search.

:05:45. > :05:48.All of a sudden, this huge helicopter came down and basically

:05:49. > :05:54.We ran as fast as we could up there, and all of a sudden about 50 police

:05:55. > :05:56.officers came from nowhere and you could see this massive raft,

:05:57. > :06:01.The migrants were found after they called relatives

:06:02. > :06:04.in Calais, to tell them their boat was in trouble.

:06:05. > :06:07.They contacted the French authorities, who raised the alarm.

:06:08. > :06:10.The boat was found at 2 o'clock in the morning,

:06:11. > :06:16.Hopefully, you know, somebody will try and put a stop

:06:17. > :06:20.to it, because it's people's lives, right, that we're

:06:21. > :06:25.Some fear this could be a wider problem.

:06:26. > :06:31.It's a bit of a worry because you think we've got a huge

:06:32. > :06:34.coastline along here now and it's probably a matter of time before

:06:35. > :06:37.they start looking at different areas to try to get across.

:06:38. > :06:40.This is the latest incident on the UK's shores this week

:06:41. > :06:46.On Tuesday 17 people, also thought to be Albanian,

:06:47. > :06:51.It's said the weather conditions at sea last night were good.

:06:52. > :06:54.Had they been worse, or the boat not found,

:06:55. > :06:56.the outcome could have been very different.

:06:57. > :07:00.Recently, the National Crime Agency has warned that some organised

:07:01. > :07:05.criminal gangs are trying to smuggle migrants into the UK through less

:07:06. > :07:11.busy ports along the east and south coasts of England.

:07:12. > :07:15.Katriona Renton, BBC News, Dymchurch.

:07:16. > :07:18.Let's speak to our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar.

:07:19. > :07:22.Jon Downing Street say the vote leave arguments about immigration

:07:23. > :07:24.are distracting from concerns about the economic impact

:07:25. > :07:31.of a possible Brexit but incident like the one we've seen in Kent

:07:32. > :07:37.Mass migration is as much an emotive issue. The sight of the boats

:07:38. > :07:43.arriving on the beaches might fuel the fear that Britain will be more

:07:44. > :07:48.insulated outside the EU. Some feel migration is a raw nerve, that they

:07:49. > :07:54.can't bash hard enough or often enough, that there could be a price

:07:55. > :07:56.to pay in party unity, managing the daily business of government could

:07:57. > :07:59.be much more difficult after this turn in the mood inside the

:08:00. > :08:05.Conservative Party. And there are whisperics of a vote

:08:06. > :08:11.of no confidence possibly -- whisperings. Is he confident he can

:08:12. > :08:17.keep his backbenchers in line? They are angry. Depending tonne outcome,

:08:18. > :08:21.there may or may not be a vote of no-confidence for David Cameron and

:08:22. > :08:24.it takes only about nine or ten to stop the Government doing what it

:08:25. > :08:31.likes in the House of Commons, which is a problem for the Government. You

:08:32. > :08:34.know that the Labour Party, well, no party does suicidal indiscipline

:08:35. > :08:38.like the Labour Party except the Conservative Party when it's in the

:08:39. > :08:47.mood and right now the Euro-sceptics are in as much of a mood as I've

:08:48. > :08:50.seen like when John Major made their lives a misery. Thank you very much.

:08:51. > :08:54.The Iraqi Government says it's made significant advances,

:08:55. > :08:57.in efforts to drive out so called Islamic State extremists

:08:58. > :09:01.But there's growing concern for around 50,000 civilians

:09:02. > :09:06.Our correspondent Jim Muir, is travelling with Iraqi

:09:07. > :09:10.Around-the-clock, heavy artillery shells blasting

:09:11. > :09:15.Fighters from so-called Islamic State are still dug

:09:16. > :09:19.in there nearly a week into the campaign.

:09:20. > :09:21.The attack on the city itself still has not begun.

:09:22. > :09:28.This is the centre of the town of Garma, which until recently

:09:29. > :09:33.was held by IS, the militants from the so-called Islamic State,

:09:34. > :09:36.now firmly in the hands of Iraqi security forces and a strange

:09:37. > :09:39.mixture of Shia militia, mixed in with the government forces

:09:40. > :09:43.and so on, also some Sunni elements, so it is a whole coalition moving

:09:44. > :09:49.You can still hear gunfire here but that is celebration,

:09:50. > :09:54.The ground carpeted with spent cartridges.

:09:55. > :10:01.A suspected car bomb taken out by an air strike.

:10:02. > :10:06.The only sign that IS was here, a hastily-torn-down black banner.

:10:07. > :10:14.Safe enough for government ministers and top brass from Baghdad

:10:15. > :10:23.The interior minister said there had been only a limited number

:10:24. > :10:28.of civilians in what was a battle zone, but that some had

:10:29. > :10:31.made their way to safety with the security forces.

:10:32. > :10:35.Many of those who fled are clearly traumatised and terrified.

:10:36. > :10:41.The UN says more civilians are being executed by IS for trying to escape.

:10:42. > :10:45.TRANSLATION: We have been hiding from them for the past three days.

:10:46. > :10:48.If they had caught us, they would have killed us.

:10:49. > :10:52.Although camps have been set up to receive them,

:10:53. > :10:56.their ordeal is not over once they flee.

:10:57. > :11:00.Men of fighting age are separated out for interrogation

:11:01. > :11:06.as possible extremists, leaving their families worried.

:11:07. > :11:11.As the noose tightens around Fallujah, there is growing concern

:11:12. > :11:15.for an estimated 50,000 civilians still trapped in the centre.

:11:16. > :11:17.The IS fighters aren't letting them out.

:11:18. > :11:21.They have constructed tunnels and other defences.

:11:22. > :11:25.The battle for Fallujah could be long, hard and devastating

:11:26. > :11:37.Ceremonies have been taking place, to commemorate the 100th

:11:38. > :11:40.anniversary, of the longest single battle of the First World War.

:11:41. > :11:45.At Verdun, hundreds of thousands of French and German soldiers

:11:46. > :11:48.were killed, during the ten months of fighting.

:11:49. > :11:54.Today President Francois Hollande and Chancellor Angela Merkel,

:11:55. > :11:56.paid their respects at the German military cemetery, just north

:11:57. > :12:01.And hundreds of thousands of bikers have descended on Washington DC,

:12:02. > :12:05.to commemorate America's war dead at the annual Memorial Day event

:12:06. > :12:12.This year the rally was addressed by the Republican Presidential

:12:13. > :12:17.He said America wasn't fit for war veterans,

:12:18. > :12:19.with an ailing economy, and companies moving

:12:20. > :12:22.their operations to Mexico in search of cheap labour.

:12:23. > :12:24.Here's our North America Editor Jon Sopel.

:12:25. > :12:26.Washington is normally such a tranquil city.

:12:27. > :12:30.Because the memorial Bank Holiday weekend is when a million bikers

:12:31. > :12:33.from all over the US converge on DC to pay tribute

:12:34. > :12:38.Some even ride with their dog, suitable crash helmet of course.

:12:39. > :12:41.It's called Rolling Thunder, but the person whipping up a storm

:12:42. > :12:44.this weeked is Donald Trump who's come to address the rally.

:12:45. > :12:49.Not that he's adored, it's just they dislike his main

:12:50. > :12:58.What about Hillary, what do you think of her?

:12:59. > :13:07.That's immaterial, I don't like who his opponent is going to be.

:13:08. > :13:10.So because it's Hillary Clinton, you will be voting Donald Trump?

:13:11. > :13:26.Those people that live in our world don't have the freedoms

:13:27. > :13:31.A lot of our freedoms are being taken away and hopefully

:13:32. > :13:38.The organisers, many of them veterans from the Vietnam

:13:39. > :13:42.era, invited us to join the front of the parade.

:13:43. > :13:45.Rolling Thunder takes in the capital's most famous

:13:46. > :13:48.landmarks and huge crowds line the streets to salute

:13:49. > :13:53.Try to talk about solemnity when you have a row

:13:54. > :14:04.Except for today, Donald Trump is here symbolically connecting

:14:05. > :14:08.himself with patriotic blue colour Harley Davidson-loving America.

:14:09. > :14:11.Donald Trump played on the links when he took to the stage.

:14:12. > :14:13."These people are my people", he declared.

:14:14. > :14:19.And then came the pitch this audience wanted to hear.

:14:20. > :14:23.We are going to rebuild our military and we are going to take care

:14:24. > :14:31.Our veterans have been treated so badly.

:14:32. > :14:35.The crowds in Washington for today's rally were huge.

:14:36. > :14:39.Many more will have watched on television.

:14:40. > :14:43.Courting the bikers and veterans isn't pandering to a tiny minority,

:14:44. > :14:46.this vote is big and Donald Trump is determined to make it his own.

:14:47. > :14:54.A four-year-old boy is recovering in hospital after falling

:14:55. > :14:57.into a Gorilla enclosure and being dragged for several

:14:58. > :15:03.Staff decided to shoot the gorilla dead at the zoo, in the US

:15:04. > :15:07.city of Cincinnati, as Laura Bicker reports.

:15:08. > :15:11.These are the frantic screams of disbelief as a gorilla drags

:15:12. > :15:24.The boy crawled through a barrier and fell ten feet into the moat.

:15:25. > :15:30.The gorilla weighs almost 30 stone, but he moves fast.

:15:31. > :15:36.The staff at Cincinnati Zoo had a difficult decision to make.

:15:37. > :15:44.Our 17-year-old gorilla male who's a great big animal, 400 pounds,

:15:45. > :15:46.went down and got him, carried him into the moat,

:15:47. > :15:54.It seemed from the team that it was a life-threatening situation.

:15:55. > :15:57.The four-year-old was taken to hospital, he's not thought

:15:58. > :16:02.Zoo staff say a tranquilizer would have taken several

:16:03. > :16:08.They thought that was too long as the gorilla appeared agitated.

:16:09. > :16:12.The team did a good job, made a tough choice but the right choice.

:16:13. > :16:20.They saved that little boy eats life.

:16:21. > :16:26.The zoo hoped the gorilla would father other gorillas

:16:27. > :16:29.to help conserve this rare, endangered species.

:16:30. > :16:31.The Gorilla World enclosure will be closed until further notice.

:16:32. > :16:36.All this week we'll be looking at some of the key issues weighing

:16:37. > :16:39.on everyone's minds, as they decide how to vote in the EU

:16:40. > :16:46.Tonight in the first of our series of Issues Unpacked our

:16:47. > :16:48.Education Editor Branwyn Jeffreys, looks at what a vote in or out,

:16:49. > :16:55.800 years of academic research, Cambridge university still among

:16:56. > :17:04.The European Union a recent chapter in its history.

:17:05. > :17:10.Professor Derek Smith tracks infectious diseases,

:17:11. > :17:17.His research wins EU money but he says it's being

:17:18. > :17:28.Having the voice in that to set the agenda, as well as actually do

:17:29. > :17:31.the research is incredibly important because of course it's not just

:17:32. > :17:34.important to do research, it's important to do the right sort

:17:35. > :17:36.of research that can best protect us from these sorts of

:17:37. > :17:43.So universities argue that research funding helps drive

:17:44. > :17:47.collaboration at universities in other EU countries.

:17:48. > :17:51.But it's not just about the money, also the people.

:17:52. > :17:55.Every year, about 120,000 students come from other EU countries

:17:56. > :18:04.More than twice that number come from outside the EU.

:18:05. > :18:08.The Vice Chancellor here was born in Wales to Polish parents.

:18:09. > :18:11.He argues research creates jobs and opportunities

:18:12. > :18:17.For him, the biggest worry is global competition.

:18:18. > :18:21.It is China, it is the growing power of India, it's also North America

:18:22. > :18:28.That's where our graduates have to compete in the future.

:18:29. > :18:32.That's why I believe being in a wider grouping gives us

:18:33. > :18:37.the best opportunity to remain globally competitive.

:18:38. > :18:40.It's about building knowledge into the future they say.

:18:41. > :18:44.This research facility at Cardiff university will investigate diseases

:18:45. > :18:49.It's the first stage of the new project.

:18:50. > :18:52.Two more buildings are going to be built here,

:18:53. > :18:55.as part of a new innovation centre, being partly funded

:18:56. > :19:03.The university says it's an example of how research funding can trickle

:19:04. > :19:08.Just next door, a rare academic who thinks we should leave.

:19:09. > :19:17.Professor Kent Matthews tells me university is paid for by UK taxes

:19:18. > :19:21.Professor Kent Matthews tells me universities paid for by UK taxes

:19:22. > :19:24.would be more accountable and could still bid

:19:25. > :19:28.Turkey is in it, Tunisia is in it, Norway is in it.

:19:29. > :19:32.Now, why should you think that the EU has a monopoly

:19:33. > :19:37.The best academics come from all over the world,

:19:38. > :19:40.we have to be open to the rest of the world and not

:19:41. > :19:44.Our universities are some of the best in the world.

:19:45. > :19:48.Many with reputations much older than the European Union,

:19:49. > :19:50.leaving would affect them but how much no-one

:19:51. > :19:57.Now with all the sport, here's Katherine Downes

:19:58. > :20:03.Lewis Hamilton won his first race of the season -

:20:04. > :20:06.snatching the Monaco Grand Prix from Daniel Riccardo.

:20:07. > :20:09.The Red Bull driver had started in pole position,

:20:10. > :20:13.but a slow pit stop meant Hamilton could sneak past in

:20:14. > :20:20.Days away from summer, it felt much further in Monaco.

:20:21. > :20:22.This was weather to huddle and plot trouble.

:20:23. > :20:26.Here, the tight and twisting streets can make this race a game

:20:27. > :20:29.of follow the leader, the wet track meant it started

:20:30. > :20:41.With no margin for error, Britain's Palmer's Grand Prix was over.

:20:42. > :20:46.When the spray cleared, it revealed Lewis Hamilton had been

:20:47. > :20:49.allowed past his team-mate, Nico Rosberg, now only

:20:50. > :20:55.That is where the Red Bull driver could have stayed

:20:56. > :21:00.His team were off the pace and when he emerged, so was he.

:21:01. > :21:03.Now, Hamilton had the lead and on a track where overtaking

:21:04. > :21:06.is virtually impossible, Ricciardo couldn't find a way back.

:21:07. > :21:10.This was Hamilton's first win of 2016, after a difficult

:21:11. > :21:14.start to the season, could this be when his

:21:15. > :21:22.England look to be heading for victory in the Test

:21:23. > :21:26.They need just 5 wickets tomorrow to win the 2nd Test.

:21:27. > :21:30.At the close the tourists were 309-5 in their second innings.

:21:31. > :21:33.With two days left to play, that leaves Sri Lanka still 88 runs

:21:34. > :21:38.short of England's first innings score.

:21:39. > :21:41.Andy Murray is through to the quarter finals
