:00:32. > :00:35.His warning comes as hundreds of small business say it would be

:00:36. > :00:39.better for them if the UK voted to leave.

:00:40. > :00:43.For our business, the biggest problem is all the regulations

:00:44. > :00:46.and the inability to get the kind of skilled workers from outside

:00:47. > :00:49.the EU that we need to maintain our business.

:00:50. > :00:51.We'll be looking at the latest arguments for and against.

:01:25. > :01:27.And we give some heavyweight consideration to a new exhibition

:01:28. > :01:40.In the sport, Great Britain will begin the defence of their Davis Cup

:01:41. > :01:42.title without Kyle Edmund, he is ruled out of the matches at the

:01:43. > :02:01.weekend with a back injury. Good evening and welcome

:02:02. > :02:03.to the BBC News at 6. The French President,

:02:04. > :02:06.Francois Hollande, has warned of what he called "consequences"

:02:07. > :02:08.for immigration and the economy It comes after a French minister

:02:09. > :02:16.suggested a No vote could mean France would withdraw UK border

:02:17. > :02:18.controls in Calais - potentially allowing many more

:02:19. > :02:24.migrants to cross the Channel. But Leave campaigners say it's

:02:25. > :02:26.all just scaremongering. At the summit in Northern France,

:02:27. > :02:31.David Cameron announced an extra ?17 million to help the French

:02:32. > :02:33.authorities deal with the migrants Our correspondent Ben Wright

:02:34. > :02:46.reports from Amiens. Solidarity, commemorating the sun,

:02:47. > :02:50.France and Britain standing together. David Cameron has a

:02:51. > :02:58.political fight on his hands and France seems to keen to help. David

:02:59. > :03:04.Cameron use the summit to trumpet areas he says UK benefits from

:03:05. > :03:14.security to jobs. Campaigners for Britain to leave the union, they say

:03:15. > :03:20.you are scaremongering, are you? It is hardly surprisingly is France

:03:21. > :03:23.echoing your views? When it comes to security and our borders, I'm

:03:24. > :03:31.convinced we are better off and stronger in side a reformed union

:03:32. > :03:35.European Union. I will not make hypothetical claims, I would do with

:03:36. > :03:41.the reality. Could France Terre a deal which keeps border guards in

:03:42. > :03:48.Calais if Britain left the EU? -- Terre. TRANSLATION: I don't want to

:03:49. > :03:53.scare you, but I just want to say the truth, there will be

:03:54. > :04:02.consequences if the UK is to leave the EU, there will be consequences

:04:03. > :04:08.in many areas. A more guarded answer than this French minister gave in a

:04:09. > :04:14.newspaper interview, he was marked at an agricultural show after

:04:15. > :04:19.suggesting France could let migrants cross the Channel to Britain if it

:04:20. > :04:27.left the EU. This is Calais, where 4000 migrants are stuck, hoping to

:04:28. > :04:33.find a way to Britain, but for 13 years the UK and France have had a

:04:34. > :04:38.deal. It is not a EU agreement, and leave campaigners rubbished the idea

:04:39. > :04:43.that it would be scrapped if Britain left the EU. That was agreed by an

:04:44. > :04:48.international treaty between Britain and France three years ago and has

:04:49. > :04:53.nothing to do with the EU and there is never reason why that should

:04:54. > :04:57.be... You have to wonder about the timing, this is part of a project to

:04:58. > :05:02.try and scare people into wanting to stay in the EU when the arguments

:05:03. > :05:09.are in favour of us taking back control and being big enough to

:05:10. > :05:14.stand on our own two feet. France and Britain have disagreed on many

:05:15. > :05:17.things, but now Paris has joined the state campaign, as with other

:05:18. > :05:22.countries, but will France's warning about consequences cause concern or

:05:23. > :05:27.incredulity amongst British voters. Our France Correspondent Lucy

:05:28. > :05:30.Williamson is in Paris for us now. Lucy, the French Finance Minister

:05:31. > :05:33.today suggested that should Britain leave the EU, the migrant

:05:34. > :05:35.camp would be relocated across the channel -

:05:36. > :05:43.is this government policy? Could that happen? It is hard to

:05:44. > :05:47.pinpoint French government position, especially from their public

:05:48. > :05:54.statements, but the mood around Calais is changing and we've been

:05:55. > :05:56.speaking to those quite close to the Cabinet and they have seen

:05:57. > :06:01.discussion going on in government about what would happen to the

:06:02. > :06:08.agreement if Britain withdrew from the EU and there are those that

:06:09. > :06:12.believe that he was given authorisation to give the warning to

:06:13. > :06:16.the UK and if you look at France's prospects over the next 18 months,

:06:17. > :06:20.they are going into a presidential election and the parties are worried

:06:21. > :06:24.about the growing popularity of the far right, France has a big stake in

:06:25. > :06:35.not seeing Britain pave the way to leave the EU. When it comes down to

:06:36. > :06:38.the nitty-gritty of policy decisions, no one is giving any

:06:39. > :06:42.detail yet. Lucy, thanks for joining us.

:06:43. > :06:45.In contrast to the French President - the head of the British Chambers

:06:46. > :06:48.of Commerce today said he believes the UK's long-term economic future

:06:49. > :06:51.But John Longworth described the EU referendum as a choice

:06:52. > :06:54.between the "devil and the deep blue sea" and said it would

:06:55. > :06:59.Here's our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed reports.

:07:00. > :07:05.What a difference, get rid of that. Aisne Gold remembers the last and

:07:06. > :07:12.Britain voted on membership of what was then the member of the EEC, he

:07:13. > :07:17.voted yes 40 years ago, but this time he will be dancing to a

:07:18. > :07:23.different children. EU membership in the early years definitely help, but

:07:24. > :07:27.now there is so much regulation and difficulties, that is why,

:07:28. > :07:30.unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion it would be in the

:07:31. > :07:34.interest of our business to leave the EU. When it comes to the

:07:35. > :07:43.question of the European Union business is split. At today's

:07:44. > :07:48.conference of leading smaller firms the tone was sceptical, the majority

:07:49. > :07:54.were in, but out might not be a disaster. What the Prime Minister

:07:55. > :08:00.came back with was inadequate, far short of what BBC see wanted and on

:08:01. > :08:04.the balance of probabilities now, Britain could have a bright future

:08:05. > :08:10.outside of the European Union just as it would have done had we stayed

:08:11. > :08:13.in with a truly reformed Europe. Both sides in the referendum debate

:08:14. > :08:21.would love to grab the business vote for themselves. But although there

:08:22. > :08:26.have been sceptical voices, other businesses the tone is very

:08:27. > :08:33.different. Carmaking in the UK employs 800,000 people and today the

:08:34. > :08:39.trade body said 77% of their members back to Britain remaining in the EU.

:08:40. > :08:45.We think being part of a reformed Europe and play a role in that

:08:46. > :08:52.Reformation is important for Europe and for the UK in Europe. In London,

:08:53. > :09:09.the German finance minister, he was asked for his reaction, should the

:09:10. > :09:16.UK leave. We would cry. LAUGHTER But I hope we will not. It is a

:09:17. > :09:22.decision of the British people, of course. Business leaders left a

:09:23. > :09:27.night after a day dominated by Europe, and they are, of course,

:09:28. > :09:29.voters, and they will have their say on the 23rd of June, just like the

:09:30. > :09:32.rest of us. Don't come to Europe

:09:33. > :09:36.in search of a better life - the stark warning to illegal

:09:37. > :09:38.economic migrants from the President Donald Tusk is visiting Greece

:09:39. > :09:43.and Turkey to try to secure agreement on reducing the flow

:09:44. > :09:46.of migrants travelling west. Our correspondent Danny Savage

:09:47. > :09:48.is on the Greek-Macedonia border - At the border camp where Greece

:09:49. > :10:04.meets Macedonia, a growing number They want to move on, but can't,

:10:05. > :10:08.so today they protested. Ever since the tear-gassing incident

:10:09. > :10:11.on Monday it has been fairly quiet when it comes to protests,

:10:12. > :10:14.but today they have flared up again, the migrants blocking the main

:10:15. > :10:16.railway track and calling for a greater flow of

:10:17. > :10:19.people across the border. This could go a couple of ways,

:10:20. > :10:22.it breaks up peacefully, or the police will move

:10:23. > :10:25.in and shift them. Because I sleep in

:10:26. > :10:39.the middle of nowhere. Most here are Syrians and Iraqis,

:10:40. > :10:42.who say they are refugees fleeing But these mainly Moroccan men I met

:10:43. > :10:51.at a service station are described by EU leaders as economic migrants,

:10:52. > :10:53.who were told today not to waste their time and money

:10:54. > :10:58.trying to get to Europe. They agreed, this 26 year old wanted

:10:59. > :11:02.to remain anonymous. I said to the people

:11:03. > :11:04.who would like to come You will lose your money, your job,

:11:05. > :11:11.your family, your time. Back at the border,

:11:12. > :11:16.the demonstration ended peacefully, but the primitive

:11:17. > :11:17.living conditions here Children are falling sick,

:11:18. > :11:21.about 40% of people This Syrian family have

:11:22. > :11:32.a nine-year-old who is diabetic and six-month-old twins they have

:11:33. > :11:34.been told should not A trickle of people crossing to move

:11:35. > :11:41.up the migrant trail is just about keeping hopes alive,

:11:42. > :11:43.but this crush developed when we were at the border this

:11:44. > :11:45.afternoon, with children caught Discouraging economic

:11:46. > :11:56.migrants is one thing, but nearly all of these people don't

:11:57. > :12:00.fall into that category, they are Europe's problem

:12:01. > :12:03.and current plans to deal with them The South African athlete

:12:04. > :12:12.Oscar Pistorius will not be allowed The ruling - by South Africa's

:12:13. > :12:16.Constitutional Court - means he will now be

:12:17. > :12:18.sentenced next month. In February 2013 he killed his

:12:19. > :12:25.girlfriend Reeva Stenkamp - when he fired his gun four times

:12:26. > :12:29.through a locked toilet door. A prisoner has been convicted

:12:30. > :12:31.of plotting armed robberies from his cell using

:12:32. > :12:33.smuggled mobile phones. Ian Ogden was behind bars

:12:34. > :12:36.when the robberies were carried out Designer watches worth

:12:37. > :12:40.more than ?600,000 were snatched in the raids,

:12:41. > :12:43.which were captured on CCTV. He'll be sentenced along

:12:44. > :12:52.with eight other men. Former SSI steelworkers have been

:12:53. > :12:57.awarded a share of ?6.5 million over a lack of consultation

:12:58. > :13:03.when their plant in Redcar closed. The Community Union took action

:13:04. > :13:06.on behalf of more than 1,000 members who lost their jobs

:13:07. > :13:08.when the site closed last year. Sunderland Football Club is under

:13:09. > :13:11.pressure to explain why it continued to allow Adam Johnson to play

:13:12. > :13:13.while he awaited trial Police have told the BBC that bosses

:13:14. > :13:19.were made fully aware of the allegations

:13:20. > :13:21.against the England player The 28 year-old midfielder was found

:13:22. > :13:27.yesterday of one count of sexual But the club says they allowed him

:13:28. > :13:42.to play because he Mr Johnson, you have never

:13:43. > :13:48.apologised to this girl, will you do it now? Pressure is growing, who

:13:49. > :13:53.knew Adam Johnson had groomed and kissed a child? He said in court he

:13:54. > :13:59.told Sunderland everything. The club has denied this. Today it was left

:14:00. > :14:09.to Sunderland's manager Sam Allardyce to answer the questions.

:14:10. > :14:18.You played Adam Johnson week after week, what we were whereof? -- what

:14:19. > :14:22.were you aware of? I was aware of his plea to be not guilty to all

:14:23. > :14:26.charges and just before the trial started, when we heard he had

:14:27. > :14:32.pleaded guilty, that was a massive shock to everyone at the club, and

:14:33. > :14:40.we took swift and direct action to dismiss him immediately. After his

:14:41. > :14:45.arrest Adam Johnson was suspended by Sunderland football club and after

:14:46. > :14:50.he was charged with child sex offences he was allowed to return to

:14:51. > :14:55.the pitch the club say they had no idea he would plead guilty to any of

:14:56. > :15:00.the charges. That was the 2nd of March, the day he was arrested.

:15:01. > :15:04.Speaking to BBC News the detective who led the investigation into Adam

:15:05. > :15:09.Johnson as revealed details of a first meeting with Sunderland

:15:10. > :15:12.football club. At that point he was under arrest for sexual activity

:15:13. > :15:16.with a child and that is what was disclosed to the club, they were

:15:17. > :15:19.given a bit more detail in terms of the fact he had met the girl and

:15:20. > :15:25.there had been sexual activity taking place when they met. At the

:15:26. > :15:32.time, was it known that Adam Johnson had met the girl and kissed her? At

:15:33. > :15:38.that moment, yes. Was it known at the time that the pair were sending

:15:39. > :15:42.messages to each other? Yes,. We have a 15-year-old girl at the

:15:43. > :15:45.centre of this who was an avid Sunderland supporter and an avid fan

:15:46. > :15:49.of Adam Johnson and she will want to know why he was allowed back onto

:15:50. > :15:54.the pitch. So who knew what? Campaigners want answers. We need to

:15:55. > :15:57.hear from Sunderland that they are going to undertake an inquiry into

:15:58. > :16:02.this matter to get to the bottom of what happened. No talk of inquiry

:16:03. > :16:04.yet, but Sunderland said they had known he was guilty they would have

:16:05. > :16:08.sacked him on the spot. The French President Francois

:16:09. > :16:14.Hollande tells David Cameron there will be consequences for Britain

:16:15. > :16:19.as a result of the EU referendum. And still to come: It's World Book

:16:20. > :16:23.Day - but does all this dressing up West Brom's Chris Brunt is ruled out

:16:24. > :16:33.for six months with a knee injury. It mean's he'll miss

:16:34. > :16:35.the chance to be part of Northern Ireland's Euro 2016

:16:36. > :16:47.campaign this Summer. They call them internet trolls -

:16:48. > :16:50.the sort of people who go online to provoke and abuse

:16:51. > :16:53.others on social media. Now lawyers in England and Wales

:16:54. > :16:56.are being advised to prosecute so-called "trolls" who use fake

:16:57. > :17:00.online profiles to harass others. Cases could also follow if fakers

:17:22. > :17:26.the condition which has made it hard for him to forget the abuse he's had

:17:27. > :17:32.from imposters on Twitter. People cloning my account, my boi, my

:17:33. > :17:36.description, changing it using disability hate speech and sending

:17:37. > :17:41.the most offensive Tweets out there. On that one there, it clearly says I

:17:42. > :17:50.can't get my words out. Drooling vegetable. That user has since been

:17:51. > :17:59.suspended. Kevin's desperate for his identity to be verified using a blue

:18:00. > :18:06.tick. Twiters says it wouldn't make a difference. As a human right, we

:18:07. > :18:10.are entitled to keep our own identity and not having that being

:18:11. > :18:16.stolen from us. And it's a very modern problem. Taste Ruth Palmer,

:18:17. > :18:22.her imposter stole her pictures and set up fake Facebook and instray

:18:23. > :18:25.gramme accounts. She called herself Leah Palmer and used the accounts to

:18:35. > :18:40.advantage of fake accounts, especially when credible threats are

:18:41. > :18:46.made, there's coercive behaviour, stalking or harassment, including

:18:47. > :18:50.revenge por, in. The Crown Prosecution Service says

:18:51. > :18:54.prosecutions should be considered withlieser offences, when offensive

:18:55. > :19:01.or false information's posted online. Today's proposals are about

:19:02. > :19:04.ensuring the law is used. We are ensuring people are being

:19:05. > :19:08.prosecuted. They are pleading guilty, going to prison and

:19:09. > :19:12.receiving sentences. That should be a deterrent. I think people

:19:13. > :19:16.sometimes don't recognise what they do online is an offence. It is so

:19:17. > :19:21.quick and immediate. You perhaps don't have the same thought

:19:22. > :19:26.processes if you have to do it not online. However, prosecutors are

:19:27. > :19:32.being told they must think carefully about their response to what's said

:19:33. > :19:35.online in case that damages our freedom of speech.

:26:45. > :26:51.Time for a look at the weather. Here's Tomasz Schafernaker.

:26:52. > :27:00.Some snow on the way? That's right. We're sliding down that slippery

:27:01. > :27:04.weather hill. Wintry weather on the way for tonight and tomorrow

:27:05. > :27:09.morning. Initially rain, sleet and pockets of heavy snow potentially in

:27:10. > :27:12.one or two areas. This is what it looks like through this evening.

:27:13. > :27:16.Sleet and snow from southern parts of Scotland through the Pennines,

:27:17. > :27:19.into the north of Wales, the North Midlands too. The south of the

:27:20. > :27:24.country will escape this wintry weather. It will be rain through the

:27:25. > :27:27.course of the night. We're talking about icy stretches in one or two

:27:28. > :27:30.areas first thing in the morning from northern parts of England.

:27:31. > :27:37.Southern Scotland too. Wales and into the Midlands. This is what it

:27:38. > :27:42.looks like across the central swathe of the country in the rush hour. For

:27:43. > :27:48.most, a couple of centimetres of snow. Most will fall over the hills.

:27:49. > :27:54.In one or two areas around the Peak District, upland areas and Pennines,

:27:55. > :27:57.we could see 10-15 cms the that's rather a lot of snow. There could be

:27:58. > :28:01.problems with the Trans-Pennine routes. For most of us, a mix of

:28:02. > :28:05.rain and snow. Not really settling much. The south of the country

:28:06. > :28:09.completely different story in the morning and afternoon. Sunshine from

:28:10. > :28:15.Portsmouth to London. The north of the UK, Scotland and Northern

:28:16. > :28:21.Ireland, also some sunshine around. Wouldn't be surprised if we get

:28:22. > :28:24.sleet and snow showers. On Saturday, not a pretty picture across East

:28:25. > :28:28.Anglia and the south-east. Cold, grey with rain on and so far off.

:28:29. > :28:32.Many western areas on Saturday not looking bad. A similar picture on

:28:33. > :28:36.Sunday. Those arrows are still coming from the north. A chilly day

:28:37. > :28:42.on the way. Temperatures only briefly touching 6 or 7. Most of the

:28:43. > :28:44.day around 5 Celsius. That's it from us. Huw Edwards will be here at
