Controlling immigration across the Channel -

:00:00.:00:07.

France warns there will be consequences if the UK decides

:00:08.:00:10.

At a summit with David Cameron - Francois Hollande says relations

:00:11.:00:16.

between the two countries would change.

:00:17.:00:21.

TRANSLATION: There is the question of consequences

:00:22.:00:22.

if Britain were to leave the European Union.

:00:23.:00:24.

free trade and also relations between people.

:00:25.:00:31.

His warning comes as hundreds of small business say it would be

:00:32.:00:35.

better for them if the UK voted to leave.

:00:36.:00:39.

For our business, the biggest problem is all the regulations

:00:40.:00:43.

and the inability to get the kind of skilled workers from outside

:00:44.:00:46.

the EU that we need to maintain our business.

:00:47.:00:49.

We'll be looking at the latest arguments for and against.

Don't come to Europe in search of a better life -

the plea from Brussels to illegal economic migrants.

Clamping down on so-called internet trolls - lawyers are told

:01:06.:01:10.

they should face criminal charges for creating fake profiles

:01:11.:01:12.

I want everybody out there on TV to know it.

:01:13.:01:24.

And we give some heavyweight consideration to a new exhibition

In the sport, Great Britain will begin the defence of their Davis Cup

title without Kyle Edmund, he is ruled out of the matches at the

:01:41.:01:42.

weekend with a back injury. Good evening and welcome

:01:43.:02:01.

to the BBC News at 6. The French President,

:02:02.:02:03.

Francois Hollande, has warned of what he called "consequences"

:02:04.:02:06.

for immigration and the economy It comes after a French minister

:02:07.:02:08.

suggested a No vote could mean France would withdraw UK border

:02:09.:02:16.

controls in Calais - potentially allowing many more

:02:17.:02:18.

migrants to cross the Channel. But Leave campaigners say it's

:02:19.:02:24.

all just scaremongering. At the summit in Northern France,

:02:25.:02:26.

David Cameron announced an extra ?17 million to help the French

:02:27.:02:31.

authorities deal with the migrants Our correspondent Ben Wright

reports from Amiens. Solidarity, commemorating the sun,

:02:34.:02:46.

France and Britain standing together. David Cameron has a

:02:47.:02:50.

political fight on his hands and France seems to keen to help. David

:02:51.:02:58.

Cameron use the summit to trumpet areas he says UK benefits from

:02:59.:03:04.

security to jobs. Campaigners for Britain to leave the union, they say

:03:05.:03:14.

you are scaremongering, are you? It is hardly surprisingly is France

:03:15.:03:20.

echoing your views? When it comes to security and our borders, I'm

:03:21.:03:23.

convinced we are better off and stronger in side a reformed union

:03:24.:03:31.

European Union. I will not make hypothetical claims, I would do with

:03:32.:03:35.

the reality. Could France Terre a deal which keeps border guards in

:03:36.:03:41.

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

:03:42.:03:48.

scare you, but I just want to say the truth, there will be

:03:49.:03:53.

consequences if the UK is to leave the EU, there will be consequences

:03:54.:04:02.

in many areas. A more guarded answer than this French minister gave in a

:04:03.:04:08.

newspaper interview, he was marked at an agricultural show after

:04:09.:04:14.

suggesting France could let migrants cross the Channel to Britain if it

:04:15.:04:19.

left the EU. This is Calais, where 4000 migrants are stuck, hoping to

:04:20.:04:27.

find a way to Britain, but for 13 years the UK and France have had a

:04:28.:04:33.

deal. It is not a EU agreement, and leave campaigners rubbished the idea

:04:34.:04:38.

that it would be scrapped if Britain left the EU. That was agreed by an

:04:39.:04:43.

international treaty between Britain and France three years ago and has

:04:44.:04:48.

nothing to do with the EU and there is never reason why that should

:04:49.:04:53.

be... You have to wonder about the timing, this is part of a project to

:04:54.:04:57.

try and scare people into wanting to stay in the EU when the arguments

:04:58.:05:02.

are in favour of us taking back control and being big enough to

:05:03.:05:09.

stand on our own two feet. France and Britain have disagreed on many

:05:10.:05:14.

things, but now Paris has joined the state campaign, as with other

:05:15.:05:17.

countries, but will France's warning about consequences cause concern or

:05:18.:05:22.

incredulity amongst British voters. Our France Correspondent Lucy

:05:23.:05:27.

Williamson is in Paris for us now. Lucy, the French Finance Minister

:05:28.:05:30.

today suggested that should Britain leave the EU, the migrant

:05:31.:05:33.

camp would be relocated across the channel -

:05:34.:05:35.

is this government policy? Could that happen? It is hard to

:05:36.:05:43.

pinpoint French government position, especially from their public

:05:44.:05:47.

statements, but the mood around Calais is changing and we've been

:05:48.:05:54.

speaking to those quite close to the Cabinet and they have seen

:05:55.:05:56.

discussion going on in government about what would happen to the

:05:57.:06:01.

agreement if Britain withdrew from the EU and there are those that

:06:02.:06:08.

believe that he was given authorisation to give the warning to

:06:09.:06:12.

the UK and if you look at France's prospects over the next 18 months,

:06:13.:06:16.

they are going into a presidential election and the parties are worried

:06:17.:06:20.

about the growing popularity of the far right, France has a big stake in

:06:21.:06:24.

not seeing Britain pave the way to leave the EU. When it comes down to

:06:25.:06:35.

the nitty-gritty of policy decisions, no one is giving any

:06:36.:06:38.

detail yet. Lucy, thanks for joining us.

:06:39.:06:42.

In contrast to the French President - the head of the British Chambers

:06:43.:06:45.

of Commerce today said he believes the UK's long-term economic future

:06:46.:06:48.

But John Longworth described the EU referendum as a choice

:06:49.:06:51.

between the "devil and the deep blue sea" and said it would

:06:52.:06:54.

Here's our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed reports.

:06:55.:06:59.

What a difference, get rid of that. Aisne Gold remembers the last and

:07:00.:07:05.

Britain voted on membership of what was then the member of the EEC, he

:07:06.:07:12.

voted yes 40 years ago, but this time he will be dancing to a

:07:13.:07:17.

different children. EU membership in the early years definitely help, but

:07:18.:07:23.

now there is so much regulation and difficulties, that is why,

:07:24.:07:27.

unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion it would be in the

:07:28.:07:30.

interest of our business to leave the EU. When it comes to the

:07:31.:07:34.

question of the European Union business is split. At today's

:07:35.:07:43.

conference of leading smaller firms the tone was sceptical, the majority

:07:44.:07:48.

were in, but out might not be a disaster. What the Prime Minister

:07:49.:07:54.

came back with was inadequate, far short of what BBC see wanted and on

:07:55.:08:00.

the balance of probabilities now, Britain could have a bright future

:08:01.:08:04.

outside of the European Union just as it would have done had we stayed

:08:05.:08:10.

in with a truly reformed Europe. Both sides in the referendum debate

:08:11.:08:13.

would love to grab the business vote for themselves. But although there

:08:14.:08:21.

have been sceptical voices, other businesses the tone is very

:08:22.:08:26.

different. Carmaking in the UK employs 800,000 people and today the

:08:27.:08:33.

trade body said 77% of their members back to Britain remaining in the EU.

:08:34.:08:39.

We think being part of a reformed Europe and play a role in that

:08:40.:08:45.

Reformation is important for Europe and for the UK in Europe. In London,

:08:46.:08:52.

the German finance minister, he was asked for his reaction, should the

:08:53.:09:09.

UK leave. We would cry. LAUGHTER But I hope we will not. It is a

:09:10.:09:16.

decision of the British people, of course. Business leaders left a

:09:17.:09:22.

night after a day dominated by Europe, and they are, of course,

:09:23.:09:27.

voters, and they will have their say on the 23rd of June, just like the

:09:28.:09:29.

rest of us. Don't come to Europe

:09:30.:09:32.

in search of a better life - the stark warning to illegal

:09:33.:09:36.

economic migrants from the President Donald Tusk is visiting Greece

:09:37.:09:38.

and Turkey to try to secure agreement on reducing the flow

:09:39.:09:43.

of migrants travelling west. Our correspondent Danny Savage

:09:44.:09:46.

is on the Greek-Macedonia border - At the border camp where Greece

:09:47.:09:48.

meets Macedonia, a growing number They want to move on, but can't,

:09:49.:10:04.

so today they protested. Ever since the tear-gassing incident

:10:05.:10:08.

on Monday it has been fairly quiet when it comes to protests,

:10:09.:10:11.

but today they have flared up again, the migrants blocking the main

:10:12.:10:14.

railway track and calling for a greater flow of

:10:15.:10:16.

people across the border. This could go a couple of ways,

:10:17.:10:19.

it breaks up peacefully, or the police will move

:10:20.:10:22.

in and shift them. Because I sleep in

:10:23.:10:25.

the middle of nowhere. Most here are Syrians and Iraqis,

:10:26.:10:39.

who say they are refugees fleeing But these mainly Moroccan men I met

:10:40.:10:42.

at a service station are described by EU leaders as economic migrants,

:10:43.:10:51.

who were told today not to waste their time and money

:10:52.:10:53.

trying to get to Europe. They agreed, this 26 year old wanted

:10:54.:10:58.

to remain anonymous. I said to the people

:10:59.:11:02.

who would like to come You will lose your money, your job,

:11:03.:11:04.

your family, your time. Back at the border,

:11:05.:11:11.

the demonstration ended peacefully, but the primitive

:11:12.:11:16.

living conditions here Children are falling sick,

about 40% of people This Syrian family have

but this crush developed when we were at the border this

afternoon, with children caught Discouraging economic

:11:44.:11:45.

fall into that category, they are Europe's problem

and current plans to deal with them The South African athlete

Oscar Pistorius will not be allowed The ruling - by South Africa's

:12:04.:12:12.

Constitutional Court - means he will now be

:12:13.:12:16.

sentenced next month. In February 2013 he killed his

:12:17.:12:18.

girlfriend Reeva Stenkamp - when he fired his gun four times

:12:19.:12:25.

through a locked toilet door. A prisoner has been convicted

:12:26.:12:29.

pressure to explain why it continued to allow Adam Johnson to play

while he awaited trial Police have told the BBC that bosses

:13:12.:13:13.

were made fully aware of the allegations

:13:14.:13:19.

against the England player The 28 year-old midfielder was found

yesterday of one count of sexual But the club says they allowed him

:13:22.:13:27.

to play because he Mr Johnson, you have never

:13:28.:13:42.

apologised to this girl, will you do it now? Pressure is growing, who

:13:43.:13:48.

knew Adam Johnson had groomed and kissed a child? He said in court he

:13:49.:13:53.

told Sunderland everything. The club has denied this. Today it was left

:13:54.:13:59.

to Sunderland's manager Sam Allardyce to answer the questions.

:14:00.:14:09.

You played Adam Johnson week after week, what we were whereof? -- what

:14:10.:14:18.

were you aware of? I was aware of his plea to be not guilty to all

:14:19.:14:22.

charges and just before the trial started, when we heard he had

:14:23.:14:26.

pleaded guilty, that was a massive shock to everyone at the club, and

:14:27.:14:32.

we took swift and direct action to dismiss him immediately. After his

:14:33.:14:40.

arrest Adam Johnson was suspended by Sunderland football club and after

:14:41.:14:45.

he was charged with child sex offences he was allowed to return to

:14:46.:14:50.

the pitch the club say they had no idea he would plead guilty to any of

:14:51.:14:55.

the charges. That was the 2nd of March, the day he was arrested.

:14:56.:15:00.

Speaking to BBC News the detective who led the investigation into Adam

:15:01.:15:04.

Johnson as revealed details of a first meeting with Sunderland

:15:05.:15:09.

football club. At that point he was under arrest for sexual activity

:15:10.:15:12.

with a child and that is what was disclosed to the club, they were

:15:13.:15:16.

given a bit more detail in terms of the fact he had met the girl and

:15:17.:15:19.

there had been sexual activity taking place when they met. At the

:15:20.:15:25.

time, was it known that Adam Johnson had met the girl and kissed her? At

:15:26.:15:32.

that moment, yes. Was it known at the time that the pair were sending

:15:33.:15:38.

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

:15:39.:15:42.

centre of this who was an avid Sunderland supporter and an avid fan

:15:43.:15:45.

of Adam Johnson and she will want to know why he was allowed back onto

:15:46.:15:49.

the pitch. So who knew what? Campaigners want answers. We need to

:15:50.:15:54.

hear from Sunderland that they are going to undertake an inquiry into

:15:55.:15:57.

this matter to get to the bottom of what happened. No talk of inquiry

:15:58.:16:02.

yet, but Sunderland said they had known he was guilty they would have

:16:03.:16:04.

sacked him on the spot. The French President Francois

:16:05.:16:08.

Hollande tells David Cameron there will be consequences for Britain

:16:09.:16:14.

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

the sort of people who go online to provoke and abuse

:16:51.:16:53.

are being advised to prosecute so-called "trolls" who use fake

prosecutions should be considered withlieser offences, when offensive

or false information's posted online. Today's proposals are about

ensuring the law is used. We are ensuring people are being

prosecuted. They are pleading guilty, going to prison and

:19:05.:19:08.

receiving sentences. That should be a deterrent. I think people

:19:09.:19:12.

sometimes don't recognise what they do online is an offence. It is so

quick and immediate. You perhaps don't have the same thought

processes if you have to do it not online. However, prosecutors are

A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories.

:19:36.:19:37.

The final results from last week's General Election in Ireland have

:19:38.:19:40.

confirmed the uncertainty over who is to form the next government.

:19:41.:19:43.

Fine Gael, led by Enda Kenny, suffered heavy losses but remains

:19:44.:19:45.

There'll now be weeks of inter-party talks to see whether Mr Kenny can

:19:46.:19:50.

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham has been told it must

:19:51.:19:55.

send weekly reports showing the results of heart surgery

:19:56.:19:57.

operations after investigators found death rates were too high.

:19:58.:20:01.

The Care Quality Commission is monitoring the hospital.

:20:02.:20:05.

A team from the Royal College of Surgeons is also

A court has heard how a teenager accused of stabbing a fellow pupil

to death at an school in Aberdeen sobbed and said,

Bailey Gwynne - who was also 16 - died after being stabbed

A man who raped five women he'd met through the online dating agency -

:20:46.:20:49.

Match.com - has been sentenced to life in prison.

:20:50.:20:53.

Jason Lawrence was told he was a danger to women -

:20:54.:20:56.

a man who would rape again given the chance.

:20:57.:21:00.

Our correspondent, Sian Lloyd, is at Derby Crown Court.

:21:01.:21:05.

Tell us what happened in court, Sian? Jason Lawrence, a married

:21:06.:21:15.

father of three, was described in court as a prolific serial rapist.

:21:16.:21:21.

He'd contacted thousands of women on the online dating site match.com. He

:21:22.:21:27.

raped five of them and subjected others to serious sexual assault.

:21:28.:21:32.

These women were vulnerable, lonely and naive. He subjected them to

:21:33.:21:36.

terrible ordeals. One rape took place in the back of a van. Another

:21:37.:21:42.

in the victim's home as her sons slept nearby. Sentencing him to life

:21:43.:21:47.

imprisonment with a minimum term of 12-and-a-half years, the judge said

:21:48.:21:52.

he'd shown no remorse. He said he clearly enjoyed raping women and

:21:53.:21:54.

begin the chance you would rape again. Four of his victims had

:21:55.:21:59.

complained to match.com in a statement today, the company said

:22:00.:22:02.

that procedures have changed and they now have a zero tolerance

:22:03.:22:08.

policy towards reports of serious offences whether they take place on

:22:09.:22:12.

the site or elsewhere. The judge suppose spoke of his concerns about

:22:13.:22:19.

internet safety? Yes, the judge, Gregory Dick on son QC said such was

:22:20.:22:25.

the seriousness of this case it showed the need and opportunity for

:22:26.:22:29.

all sites to learn from this and look at how they can better protect

:22:30.:22:34.

women. Match.com said they agreed and something all within the

:22:35.:22:38.

industry should do. The judge said mercifully, these cases are rare.

:22:39.:22:39.

Thank you. A man of many words

:22:40.:22:41.

and many knockouts - Muhammad Ali is arguably

:22:42.:22:43.

the greatest sportsman Well, tomorrow an exhibition

:22:44.:22:46.

celebrating his extraordinary career Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz has

:22:47.:22:54.

been along for a look. If I get my way confused. He's up to

:22:55.:23:12.

his old tricks, floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee. That

:23:13.:23:17.

was when he was in his prime. He's still fighting. Might come back and

:23:18.:23:24.

save the whole earth. The Parkinson's disease has rendered him

:23:25.:23:29.

too poorly to travel but the Muhammed Ali show goes on in the

:23:30.:23:34.

shape of memorabilia. His wife gave me a tour. This is a robe. Had you

:23:35.:23:42.

mam add had a huge affection for Elvis. He presented him with this he

:23:43.:23:50.

robe in Las Vegas. He had it specially made for Muhammad. There's

:23:51.:23:56.

the belt and photos aplenty. And the gloves from the Henry Cooper fight.

:23:57.:24:02.

Muhammad is a symbol of hope and inspiration. Not just African

:24:03.:24:06.

Americans. It was his special duty to take his celebrity and try to use

:24:07.:24:11.

it for the betterment of those who could not lift themselves up

:24:12.:24:15.

regardless of colour. It is as much for the public stance he's taken as

:24:16.:24:21.

his remarkable achievements in the ring which prompted a British

:24:22.:24:26.

heavyweight to start a campaign for him to receive an honorary

:24:27.:24:29.

knighthood. He's the greatest in his field as a boxer, as a man. I don't

:24:30.:24:35.

believe there's any other sportsman who's on his level in any way, shape

:24:36.:24:40.

or form. What he believed in. Done inside and outside his sport. The

:24:41.:24:43.

amount of people he's touched around the world. The amount of people he's

:24:44.:24:49.

inspired. And entertained. I said, mother, when we dodo we go to

:24:50.:24:54.

heaven. She aid naturally. I said what happened all the black angels

:24:55.:24:59.

they took in the pictures? What would it mean to him to be given a

:25:00.:25:05.

knighthood? He would be would be ecstatic.. But happened alley has

:25:06.:25:12.

transcended his sport to Mcan icon. As famous for his oratory and his

:25:13.:25:17.

glovework. He is a man who always likes to have the last word. I'm

:25:18.:25:22.

going to get running, chop some more trees!

:25:23.:25:33.

For many that involves coming up with elaborate costumes of favourite

:25:34.:25:41.

characters for their children to wear to school.

:25:42.:25:46.

the theme of magic can never be far away.

:25:47.:25:50.

Here we have eight-year-old Kyle as that most famous of wizards,

:25:51.:25:53.

No problem locating this character from the Where's Wally series

:25:54.:25:57.

as illustrated by five-year-old James Underwood.

:25:58.:26:00.

Dylan Walton's depiction as the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz

:26:01.:26:02.

was created from a Fireman Sam outfit

:26:03.:26:04.

and funnel ingenuity the name of the game.

:26:05.:26:07.

Five-year-old Amelia Whitaker is dressed as the central character

:26:08.:26:09.

Olly and Izzy are the Ace Of Spades and A Talking Flower.

:26:10.:26:15.

And finally, Alina Iman is dressed as Princess Elsa from Frozen.

:26:16.:26:21.

Some of the many pictures we've been sent.

:26:22.:26:22.

the amount of effort that's gone into World Book Day.

:26:23.:26:28.

Nikki MacKay from Glasgow told us she spent four hours

:26:29.:26:31.

While Graeme Haddon from Surrey acknowledged it had been a bit

:26:32.:26:37.

of a hassle but if it encouraged his kids to get

:26:38.:26:39.

off their iPads and pick up a book, it was well worth it.

:26:40.:26:44.

Time for a look at the weather. Here's Tomasz Schafernaker.

:26:45.:26:51.

Some snow on the way? That's right. We're sliding down that slippery

:26:52.:27:00.

weather hill. Wintry weather on the way for tonight and tomorrow

:27:01.:27:04.

morning. Initially rain, sleet and pockets of heavy snow potentially in

:27:05.:27:09.

one or two areas. This is what it looks like through this evening.

:27:10.:27:12.

Sleet and snow from southern parts of Scotland through the Pennines,

:27:13.:27:16.

into the north of Wales, the North Midlands too. The south of the

:27:17.:27:19.

country will escape this wintry weather. It will be rain through the

:27:20.:27:24.

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

:27:25.:27:27.

areas first thing in the morning from northern parts of England.

:27:28.:27:30.

Southern Scotland too. Wales and into the Midlands. This is what it

:27:31.:27:37.

looks like across the central swathe of the country in the rush hour. For

:27:38.:27:42.

most, a couple of centimetres of snow. Most will fall over the hills.

:27:43.:27:48.

In one or two areas around the Peak District, upland areas and Pennines,

:27:49.:27:54.

we could see 10-15 cms the that's rather a lot of snow. There could be

:27:55.:27:57.

problems with the Trans-Pennine routes. For most of us, a mix of

:27:58.:28:01.

rain and snow. Not really settling much. The south of the country

:28:02.:28:05.

completely different story in the morning and afternoon. Sunshine from

:28:06.:28:09.

Portsmouth to London. The north of the UK, Scotland and Northern

:28:10.:28:15.

Ireland, also some sunshine around. Wouldn't be surprised if we get

:28:16.:28:21.

sleet and snow showers. On Saturday, not a pretty picture across East

:28:22.:28:24.

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

:28:25.:28:28.

Many western areas on Saturday not looking bad. A similar picture on

:28:29.:28:32.

Sunday. Those arrows are still coming from the north. A chilly day

:28:33.:28:36.

on the way. Temperatures only briefly touching 6 or 7. Most of the

:28:37.:28:42.

day around 5 Celsius. That's it from us. Huw Edwards will be here at

:28:43.:28:44.

10.00pm.

:28:45.:28:46.
