:00:22. > :00:25.Campaigning on the EU referendum has restarted

:00:26. > :00:28.after it was suspended following the death of MP Jo Cox.

:00:29. > :00:31.The warning today from the Prime Minister

:00:32. > :00:33.was that the UK faces an 'existential choice'

:00:34. > :00:38.For the Leave campaign, Michael Gove insisted the UK

:00:39. > :00:41.would be able to 'deal with whatever the world throws at us'

:00:42. > :00:48.Here's our political correspondent, Eleanor Garnier.

:00:49. > :00:55.Looming ever closer, the big question about our nation's future.

:00:56. > :00:59.Now overshadowed by the death of the MP Jo Cox. After glowing tributes to

:01:00. > :01:06.their former colleague the politicians were back to business as

:01:07. > :01:11.normal. Dominating the debate today this poster, unveiled last week by

:01:12. > :01:15.Ukip, but drawing criticism from fellow Leave campaigners. When I saw

:01:16. > :01:20.that poster I issuedered. I thought it was the wrong thing to do. Now, I

:01:21. > :01:23.am pro migration but I believe the way we secure public support for the

:01:24. > :01:28.continued benefits that migration brings and the way in which we

:01:29. > :01:32.secure public support for helping refugees is in need is for people to

:01:33. > :01:38.feel they can control the numbers coming here. Your colleague on the

:01:39. > :01:43.Leave side, Michael Gove, said this morning that when he saw that poster

:01:44. > :01:47.he issuedered. Have you seen their posters? They've been doing very

:01:48. > :01:53.strong posters, not only about Turkey but about the number of

:01:54. > :01:58.terrorists and criminals who come to country on current rules. It is a

:01:59. > :02:02.critical question of the debate, who and how many overseas should Britain

:02:03. > :02:06.be letting in. The Labour ladder was asked if there should be an upper

:02:07. > :02:11.limit. I don't think you should have one if you have the free moment of

:02:12. > :02:14.labour. It means you have is to balance the economy, so you have to

:02:15. > :02:17.improve living standards and conditions. And stark warn forensic

:02:18. > :02:21.examination the Prime Minister today, writing in the Sunday

:02:22. > :02:24.Telegraph he said we face an existential choice. This country has

:02:25. > :02:31.a big decision to make, he said, and there is so much at stake. The

:02:32. > :02:34.biggest risk, the Remain side argue, is that leaving would damage the

:02:35. > :02:39.economy. It is important for people to understand if we vote to leave

:02:40. > :02:45.there is no turning back. It is a one-way door to a much more

:02:46. > :02:49.uncertain world, where people's jobs and livelihoods are at risk. If we

:02:50. > :02:51.vote to remain we can have a prosperous and stronger economy

:02:52. > :02:56.going forward. Politics had been put on hold. The referendum paused on

:02:57. > :03:01.both sides of the debate. But with the vote just four days away this

:03:02. > :03:03.campaign will be fought hard right to the wire.

:03:04. > :03:05.Three 12-year-old girls are in a serious condition

:03:06. > :03:07.in hospital in Manchester after taking Ecstasy.

:03:08. > :03:09.Police say they took a type of the drug known

:03:10. > :03:27.Our correspondent Dan Johnson joins us live.

:03:28. > :03:35.This is Salford shopping precinct. Officers were called to reports that

:03:36. > :03:40.three 13-year-olds girls had taken ecstasy tablets. The pills were

:03:41. > :03:43.marketed as "Teddy Tablets". The three girls are in hospital in a

:03:44. > :03:49.very serious condition, the police say. They have warned about the

:03:50. > :03:53.risks of taking these pills, the contents of them can't be

:03:54. > :03:58.guaranteed, and that the risks can even be fatal. Greater Manchester

:03:59. > :04:01.Police referred to the death of 17-year-old Faye Allen. She died in

:04:02. > :04:05.Manchester last month after taking ecstasy pills after a night out

:04:06. > :04:10.clubbing. Detectives have appealed for anybody who has these pills in

:04:11. > :04:13.their possession to hand them in as soon as possible. They want to get

:04:14. > :04:17.information about who is distributing them in the area,

:04:18. > :04:21.saying these pills are very dangerous with potentially fatal

:04:22. > :04:27.consequences. They want to know how Class A drugs could have got into

:04:28. > :04:29.the hands of is 12-year-old girls. Dan, thank you.

:04:30. > :04:31.The MP Jo Cox has been remembered at church services

:04:32. > :04:34.at Birstall in West Yorkshire, where she was killed on Thursday.

:04:35. > :04:36.The Reverend Paul Knight, who led the service,

:04:37. > :04:39.described Jo as an "advocate for the poor and the oppressed".

:04:40. > :04:45.Our special correspondent Ed Thomas is in Birstall.

:04:46. > :04:52.Four days on and this place, the centre of Birstall, is still the

:04:53. > :04:56.focus for people to come down here, to stop, pause, see the flowers and

:04:57. > :05:01.read all of the messages for Jo Cox. Today services is not just here in

:05:02. > :05:07.Birstall but across the country to remember the MP. Here in her own

:05:08. > :05:10.town it was led by the Anglican Reverend Paul knight. He told the

:05:11. > :05:16.congregation that her humanity was powerful and compelling. He said she

:05:17. > :05:21.was a 21st century good samaritan. We've also heard more from Jo Cox's

:05:22. > :05:27.husband, Brendan. He sent out a tweet. He said Jo loved camp and

:05:28. > :05:32.last night the kids and I camped in her memory and remembered the last

:05:33. > :05:35.time we were woken by the down chorus. He thanked the thousands of

:05:36. > :05:39.people who've raised money in her memory. More than ?500,000 have been

:05:40. > :05:47.raised in this Memorial Fund. It is to help causes close to Jo's heart,

:05:48. > :05:52.to help Syrian refugees, to combat loneliness. Tomorrow a chance for

:05:53. > :05:56.MPs, colleagues from all sides, to go back to Parliament. Parliament

:05:57. > :05:58.will be recalled and in Parliament at Westminster the MP will be

:05:59. > :06:03.remembered there. Ed, thank you. Health unions have written

:06:04. > :06:06.to David Cameron urging him to halt a plan to scrap nursing

:06:07. > :06:08.and midwifery bursaries in England. The Government says a new system

:06:09. > :06:11.of loans would create more training places and it's promising 25%

:06:12. > :06:13.extra financial support Here's our health

:06:14. > :06:22.correspondent, Dominic Hughes. For months, nurses and other health

:06:23. > :06:25.workers have been protesting against plans to end bursaries,

:06:26. > :06:28.the means-tested allowance paid to some trainee nurses in England

:06:29. > :06:32.that goes towards living expenses. Nurse Ellie Archer is one of those

:06:33. > :06:35.who has joined the demonstrations defending the bursary that allows

:06:36. > :06:40.her to pursue her dream career. She believes the intensity

:06:41. > :06:42.of a nursing degree means Because of the time spent

:06:43. > :06:48.on placement, it is very difficult for them to pick up second jobs,

:06:49. > :06:51.so there isn't really any other way of getting an income other

:06:52. > :06:55.than having the bursary in place. Training nurses can be

:06:56. > :07:00.an expensive business. The Government argues that

:07:01. > :07:04.abolishing the bursary will allow the creation of an extra 10,000

:07:05. > :07:07.student nursing places each year, These student nurses being put

:07:08. > :07:13.through their places in Chorley hospital in Lancashire are among

:07:14. > :07:15.the first in England I think what that tells us is there

:07:16. > :07:28.really is the demand out there. This course is a potential model

:07:29. > :07:31.for a future when bursaries have been abolished and nurses have

:07:32. > :07:34.to pay for their own training. But some are concerned those changes

:07:35. > :07:37.could exacerbate an already serious We are concerned that we perhaps

:07:38. > :07:40.wouldn't get the same diversity of people into nursing

:07:41. > :07:44.that we have currently. That having to take out a loan

:07:45. > :07:49.will put people off. Currently, training courses

:07:50. > :07:52.are hugely oversubscribed. In 2014 there were more

:07:53. > :07:55.than 50,000 applicants, but the NHS in England

:07:56. > :08:02.could fund just 20,000 places. So the leaders of the universities

:08:03. > :08:04.that run the training courses This change actually

:08:05. > :08:06.enables universities At the moment they are capped,

:08:07. > :08:14.and really on the basis of affordability and estimates

:08:15. > :08:16.of what the NHS might need, which clearly have been

:08:17. > :08:20.wrong over many years. The Royal College of Nursing says

:08:21. > :08:22.two thirds of its members wouldn't have studied nursing if they had

:08:23. > :08:26.to take out a student loan, making an existing staff

:08:27. > :08:28.shortage even worse. But ministers say scrapping

:08:29. > :08:30.the bursary will remove an artificial cap on the numbers

:08:31. > :08:38.who could be trained. Tens of thousands of demonstrators

:08:39. > :08:41.have gathered on the Japanese island of Okinawa to protest

:08:42. > :08:44.against the heavy American The protesters are angry

:08:45. > :08:51.after a former US Marine employed as a civilian worker was arrested

:08:52. > :08:54.over the rape and murder The case has reignited calls

:08:55. > :08:58.for the 26,000 US troops to be moved British astronaut major Tim Peake

:08:59. > :09:04.has been reunited with his parents, for the first time since he landed

:09:05. > :09:07.back on Earth. He was greeted as he stepped off

:09:08. > :09:10.the plane at the European Space A news conference is scheduled

:09:11. > :09:15.for Tuesday, in which he'll talk about his six-month mission on board

:09:16. > :09:19.the International Space Station, but speaking earlier he said he'll

:09:20. > :09:23.need some time to adjust. Obviously it's going to take a few

:09:24. > :09:26.days before I feel normal again. I'm feeling a lot of dizziness

:09:27. > :09:29.and vertigo at the moment any time I move my head,

:09:30. > :09:31.which is to be expected. That's normal after

:09:32. > :09:34.six months in space. Those first few moments on the steps
