:01:41. > :01:43.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
:01:44. > :01:45.Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England,
:01:46. > :01:48.finds himself accused of taking sides in the EU referendum debate.
:01:49. > :01:50.This morning, Mr Carney told a committee of MPs that leaving
:01:51. > :01:53.the EU would affect Britain's financial stability
:01:54. > :02:08.Our Economics editor Kamal Ahmed watched the exchanges.
:02:09. > :02:13.Had's the man charged with maintaining economic stability.
:02:14. > :02:16.Today the governor of the Bank of England said that stability could be
:02:17. > :02:21.at risk if Britain decides to leave the European Union. In evidence
:02:22. > :02:29.before MPs, Mark Carney made it clear this was a vital economic
:02:30. > :02:36.issue. The issue is the biggest domestic risk to financial stability
:02:37. > :02:40.because, in part, of the issues around uncertainty. But also, if I
:02:41. > :02:46.may just finish quickly, because it has the potential, potential,
:02:47. > :02:53.depending on how it's prosecuted and how these issues can be addressed,
:02:54. > :02:57.to amplify risks around the current account has discussed. Potential
:02:58. > :03:02.risks around housing and market funding which we are trying to
:03:03. > :03:06.mitigate. Sterling's value could fall, jobs could be lost, inflation
:03:07. > :03:11.could rise. Mr Carney also wrote to the Select Committee praising the
:03:12. > :03:14.Prime Minister's EU deal, saying it would improve competitiveness and
:03:15. > :03:19.reinforce the positive impact of EU membership. The list of reasons for
:03:20. > :03:23.staying in the EU was a long one. So long that MPs that back Britain
:03:24. > :03:30.leaving the EU revealed their displeasure. The statements you make
:03:31. > :03:35.about the dynamism of the country could he refer to the reforms
:03:36. > :03:42.introyou deuced by Margaret that thor. It's beneath the dignity of
:03:43. > :03:46.the Bank of England - I will not let that stand. Mr Carney making it
:03:47. > :03:52.clear there could be dangers remaining in a single market.
:03:53. > :03:57.Membership of the European Union brings risks as well. The principle
:03:58. > :04:01.risk, risks I should say, there are more than one, are associated with
:04:02. > :04:07.the unfinished business of European monetary union. After what were
:04:08. > :04:11.sometimes bad tempered exchanges with MPs, Mark Carney returned here,
:04:12. > :04:16.the somewhat safer environment much his office at the Bank of England.
:04:17. > :04:23.I'm told he's pleased with today's session. He thinks he got across two
:04:24. > :04:26.big points, firstly that, yes, there could be a short-term economic risk
:04:27. > :04:32.if Britain were to leave the European Union and, second, that no
:04:33. > :04:35.politicians lent on him to say that. Maybe not, but his critics said he
:04:36. > :04:40.was drifting into dangerous territory. I think this was entirely
:04:41. > :04:43.political. I think it is quite wrong for a governor of the Bank of
:04:44. > :04:48.England to enter the political fray in this way. Mr Carney said this
:04:49. > :04:50.would be his last substantial intervention in the referendum
:04:51. > :04:55.debate and the governor made it clear it wasn't his job to make the
:04:56. > :05:01.economic case for leaving or remaining in the EU. The decision on
:05:02. > :05:08.June 23rd is not his. It's for the voters to decide. Kamal is with me
:05:09. > :05:12.now. A very balanced statement there from the governor. What one think
:05:13. > :05:19.should our viewers take away from his statement?
:05:20. > :05:25.In the main the governor believes there are short-term risks to
:05:26. > :05:29.leaving the European Union and the short-term risks are significant.
:05:30. > :05:33.But he constantly made the point and I sat through all three hours of his
:05:34. > :05:37.session, he was constantly making the point that this is nuanced.
:05:38. > :05:44.There are lots of things we do not know. He was sending a signal to the
:05:45. > :05:48.voters. They need to sweat this a bit. They need to look at the
:05:49. > :05:53.arguments on both sides and make a judgment. People are constantly
:05:54. > :05:57.asking for a fact in this debate. The governor went through some of
:05:58. > :06:02.the negative about if Britain were to leave and said there were also
:06:03. > :06:06.risks to staying in. He said you could not come to any firm decision
:06:07. > :06:12.on this in the long term whether it would be better to be in or out.
:06:13. > :06:15.Very complicated, the need to look at both sides, but in the main the
:06:16. > :06:19.government seemed more pro-European union ban anti.
:06:20. > :06:20.And there's more about the EU referendum
:06:21. > :06:23.and the economic arguments on both sides on our
:06:24. > :06:32.Boris Johnson has been accused of hypocrisy after an e-mail leaked
:06:33. > :06:35.to the BBC revealed his office had warned his officials not
:06:36. > :06:39.to contradict him and speak out in favour of staying in the EU.
:06:40. > :06:42.Mr Johnson described the email as a "cock-up" but the rules remain
:06:43. > :06:45.in place, despite his calls for an open debate on the issue.
:06:46. > :06:55.Here's our Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg.
:06:56. > :07:01.Why have you gag members of your staff and speaking out?
:07:02. > :07:07.Boris Johnson is rarely known for keeping his views to himself. But on
:07:08. > :07:13.Europe is there one rule for him and another for his senior team? Nobody
:07:14. > :07:17.has been gagged. I was only made aware of this edict late last night
:07:18. > :07:21.and it sees to be operated as soon as I was aware of it. But the
:07:22. > :07:27.accusation followed him from home this morning all the way to
:07:28. > :07:30.Westminster. Because the London Mayor's office did warn his staff to
:07:31. > :07:38.keep quiet if they disagree with his view that we should leave the EU. So
:07:39. > :07:42.far as that edict was ever offered, it is countermanded. Mr Johnson's
:07:43. > :07:48.chief of staff, Sir Edward Lister, sent an e-mail on Friday to the
:07:49. > :07:52.senior advisers. He wrote, during the referendum campaign I would
:07:53. > :07:56.expect you either to advocate the Mayor's position or otherwise not
:07:57. > :08:00.openly to contradict it. When the very next day Boris Johnson was
:08:01. > :08:07.determinedly defending this man, John Longworth, bumped out of his
:08:08. > :08:11.job as leader of the business group, the British Chambers of commerce,
:08:12. > :08:16.because he argued to lead the EU. Mr Johnson called that a scandal and he
:08:17. > :08:21.stands accused of hypocrisy. With every week that passes, Boris's
:08:22. > :08:26.credibility not only as a Prime Minister, but somebody who wants to
:08:27. > :08:29.play a vocal part in the EU referendum campaign has diminished.
:08:30. > :08:34.They have ditched the e-mail advice and say his team can say whatever
:08:35. > :08:39.they want, but not when on official business. Boris Johnson has
:08:40. > :08:43.dismissed this e-mail as a blunder, but the official rules are still in
:08:44. > :08:48.place. It matters because all the big players in the arguments about
:08:49. > :08:54.the EU one you to believe them and back their case. What his office
:08:55. > :09:01.warned in Private sits comfortably alongside what the Mayor himself has
:09:02. > :09:07.said loudly in public. Boris Johnson famously said his policy on cake is
:09:08. > :09:11.pro having it and pro-eating it. But on the European Union might he have
:09:12. > :09:16.It's barely 24 hours since EU leaders said they'd found a way
:09:17. > :09:19.to end the migrant crisis and it's already under fire.
:09:20. > :09:23.The United Nations says yesterday's plan to send migrants back
:09:24. > :09:27.from Greece to Turkey would break international law.
:09:28. > :09:29.As Mark Lowen reports from Izmire in Turkey,
:09:30. > :09:33.any attempt to implement the expulsion proposal would face
:09:34. > :09:41.huge resistance from migrants themselves.
:09:42. > :09:50.Western Turkey, the waiting room for Europe. Doors may be closing, but
:09:51. > :09:55.their dreams of Sanctuary will not be crushed. As news that the EU is
:09:56. > :10:03.clamping down on migrant filters through, they are left confused but
:10:04. > :10:08.determined. Will Europe let us in, this family comes to ask? The tiny
:10:09. > :10:17.children tell me all they want is a boat to Greece. Those who have come
:10:18. > :10:22.this far have endured so much. Mohammed Muir was tortured in
:10:23. > :10:27.Damascus prison for opposing the Assad regime. Five of his children
:10:28. > :10:31.are already in Western Europe, so if he is stopped and sent back when he
:10:32. > :10:38.tries to join them, his family will split up. TRANSLATION: I am
:10:39. > :10:42.disappointed by the decisions in Brussels, but there are no other
:10:43. > :10:49.options for us but to leave. Either I succeed and live or die trying.
:10:50. > :10:53.Those profiting from the boat trips are still doing a roaring trade. It
:10:54. > :11:00.is a well practised routine for that migrants. Arrived in is mere, get
:11:01. > :11:04.kitted up and go. This is just one of the businesses catering for
:11:05. > :11:09.refugees. There are special bank accounts to play smugglers and
:11:10. > :11:14.hotels for Syrians. The industry of transporting migrants here is so
:11:15. > :11:18.established and widespread it seems inconceivable it could be dismantled
:11:19. > :11:22.or even halted by decisions in Brussels. It is not even clear if
:11:23. > :11:26.deporting migrants back to Turkey would be legal, so the whole
:11:27. > :11:31.European plan could still fall apart. Collective expulsion of
:11:32. > :11:35.foreigners is prohibited under the European Convention of human rights,
:11:36. > :11:42.an agreement that would be tantamount to a blanket return of
:11:43. > :11:48.foreigners to a certain country is not consistent with European law and
:11:49. > :11:51.international law. Success of any deal hinges on tackling the
:11:52. > :11:59.smugglers. A middleman we spoke to said he thinks any drop in numbers
:12:00. > :12:04.would be temporary. TRANSLATION: For the last six days I have not had any
:12:05. > :12:08.calls from customers. If they start sending people back, there might be
:12:09. > :12:14.fewer, but the smuggling will not end. When the Coast Guard shows up,
:12:15. > :12:19.we stop. But when people show up we organise their trip and that is
:12:20. > :12:25.that. There are so many unknowns. Will this deal be approved? How will
:12:26. > :12:29.it work? But there is one certainty, that those hoping for a new life
:12:30. > :12:33.across these waters will not give up trying.

:12:37. > :12:38.including the sports wear firm Nike, cut ties with the tennis star
:12:39. > :12:40.in the light of her failed drugs test.
:12:41. > :12:43.Yesterday, the five-times Grand Slam winner revealed she'd tested
:12:44. > :12:46.positive for a drug called Meldonium, saying she took it
:12:47. > :12:58.Our sports correspondent, Richard Conway, reports.
:12:59. > :13:06.It was the moment Maria Sharapova's life changed forever. Winning
:13:07. > :13:11.Wimbledon aged just 17 made her a global star. Now almost 12 years on
:13:12. > :13:20.her life has taken another dramatic turn. I made a huge mistake and I
:13:21. > :13:24.have let my fans down and I have let the spot down. Sharapova claims a
:13:25. > :13:29.family doctor legally prescribed her a drug called meldonium. But it was
:13:30. > :13:34.banned by the world anti-doping agency in January this year due to
:13:35. > :13:38.its ability to boost endurance in athletes. The current world number
:13:39. > :13:43.one who defeated Sharapova on the same day the Russian tested positive
:13:44. > :13:48.in January, today expressed admiration for her opponent's
:13:49. > :13:54.stance. I am surprised and shocked, but at the same time most people
:13:55. > :13:59.were happy that she was upfront and very honest and showed a lot of
:14:00. > :14:04.courage to admit to what she had done and how she had neglected to
:14:05. > :14:09.look at the letter. Sharapova insists she was unaware that
:14:10. > :14:14.meldonium was prohibited, but the former head of the world doping
:14:15. > :14:19.anti-agency says there should be no excuses. Leaving aside fair play, if

:14:29. > :14:34.that you have known about for four months, I am sorry, that is a big
:14:35. > :14:38.mistake. Maria Sharapova is the highest-paid women in sport and the
:14:39. > :14:43.reason is because she transcends tennis in a way few others do. She
:14:44. > :14:49.is a big name on the high street, but now her backers are distancing
:14:50. > :14:53.themselves, including the biggest. The five times grand slam winner has
:14:54. > :15:00.now lost a number of commercial endorsements. Porsche say they are

:17:01. > :17:06.mean more unsocial hours and patient care compromised. What I want is a
:17:07. > :17:10.fair contract. One that recognises the hours we work and the job we do.
:17:11. > :17:15.I want one that is safe for my patients. There is a strong body of
:17:16. > :17:18.junior doctors out there who are unhappy enough and who are concerned
:17:19. > :17:25.about our patients safety enough that we will hold this Government
:17:26. > :17:28.accountable. Rachel, back at home with her daughter today, after a

:17:46. > :17:48.imposition of the contract and given reassurances by the Scottish
:17:49. > :17:52.Government by that. When we compare ourselves to England morale is

:18:39. > :18:41.increase hospital staffing levels at weekends, that's hotly disputed by
:18:42. > :18:44.junior doctors. The question is - why has the Scottish Government,
:18:45. > :18:49.along with Wales and Northern Ireland, not opted to go down the
:18:50. > :18:53.same route? We think there is scope for making that more appropriate for
:18:54. > :18:57.modern-day working practices for the demographic of the doctors who are
:18:58. > :19:01.coming into our professions now. We don't think that we need to do that

:19:47. > :19:51.ever since their former player, Adam Johnson, was convicted. Tonight, the
:19:52. > :19:53.fallout, most certainlily, intensified when its Chief
:19:54. > :19:56.Executive, Margaret Byrne, resigned over her handling of the case. If I

:20:12. > :20:15.sacked when he suddenly changed his plea to guilty on two of those
:20:16. > :20:19.counts at the beginning of the trial last month. The club came in for a
:20:20. > :20:26.barrage of criticism over why they had allowed him to play on, 28 more
:20:27. > :20:31.matches, earn around ?3 million more despite those charges? A statement

:20:42. > :20:46.with her, but that she didn't share that information with anyone. She
:20:47. > :20:51.went on to say she accepted Johnson should not have been permitted to
:20:52. > :20:56.play on and it was a serious error of judgment on her part. The club
:20:57. > :21:01.said they were sorry a young fan had been badly let down and lessons had

:24:04. > :24:07.suburbs promised the rural idle close to the big city. Instead of
:24:08. > :24:12.leafy streets and beautiful gardens what we got was cars, cars and more
:24:13. > :24:21.cars. But maybe we've reached peak car. Maybe new technology, like
:24:22. > :24:25.driverless, electric vehicles and uber style taxi apps rather than
:24:26. > :24:29.having a car parked up 95% of the time you press a button and summon
:24:30. > :24:40.what you need far cheaper when you need it. Just think how that might
:24:41. > :24:47.change the places we live in? This is Harrow, a classic suburban
:24:48. > :24:52.street. Take the cars out of the picture, lay some grass, plant some
:24:53. > :24:56.trees, the cluttered road become as green space, a community resource
:24:57. > :25:01.where children can play and neighbours can meet. Instead of the
:25:02. > :25:05.private car, people only use a car when they need it. It's a model that
:25:06. > :25:10.politicians in London took a close interest in as a way of dealing with
:25:11. > :25:20.the housing crisis and the design consultancy behind the proposals has
:25:21. > :25:24.even come up with a name for it. It takes up much less space. Much
:25:25. > :25:28.safer, it's smaller and it's not there when you don't need it. People
:25:29. > :25:32.really like having their car just outside, just in case? And, when
:25:33. > :25:36.they get used to the new technologies it will be just like
:25:37. > :25:43.whistling for your dog. It will turn up immediately. We tried the idea on
:25:44. > :25:47.the residents. Could you give up your car? No. It's not possible. No,
:25:48. > :25:59.no, no. No! Do you really need a car? Yes, we need it. Every day?
:26:00. > :26:07.Every day. You like seeing it sit outside? Taking cars out of cities
:26:08. > :26:12.is hardly new. In southern Germany they started closing central streets
:26:13. > :26:17.to traffic in the 1950s. Now the idea has spread to residential
:26:18. > :26:21.neighbourhoods, a suburb to the south. You can have a car if you
:26:22. > :26:25.live here, it's just you can't park it outside your house. Have you to
:26:26. > :26:30.put it in the multi-storey on the edge of the estate where a space
:26:31. > :26:35.calls 20,000 euros. People moved here, thought they would need a car,
:26:36. > :26:39.quickly have just given it up. They realised after a while they don't
:26:40. > :26:46.need to own one. Actually, sometimes they really felt very much relieved.
:26:47. > :26:52.Kids go to school on their own, even to kindergarten. It's nice. It might
:26:53. > :26:55.seem a long way from the streets of Harrow today, but if technology can
:26:56. > :26:59.provide all the convenience and independence of a car whout having
:27:00. > :27:08.to own one, then perhaps suburban Britain is about to head down a new
:27:09. > :27:13.road. Mark Easton, BBC News. Time for the weather now with John
:27:14. > :27:16.Hammond. Up-and-down a roller-coaster thchl was the scene
:27:17. > :27:21.this morning in Henley-on-Thames. Very nice, too. This will not be the
:27:22. > :27:29.scene tomorrow morning, I can assure you. Things turning rough tonight
:27:30. > :27:32.and tomorrow. It is going down hill across Northern Ireland with a huge
:27:33. > :27:37.great bank of cloud pushing in off the Atlantic. This is the culprit
:27:38. > :27:40.for the wind and rain and snow over the next 24-hours. The rain across
:27:41. > :27:51.Northern Ireland will spill eastwards. Some snow to high ground,
:27:52. > :27:58.strong winds to South Western exposures. 8.00am gusts of
:27:59. > :28:03.60mph-70mph to exposed coasts. Inland strong gusts. Watch out for
:28:04. > :28:08.those. Rain will be an issue across many parts of England and Wales.
:28:09. > :28:13.Snow over the high ground of the Midlands. Shouldn't amount to much.
:28:14. > :28:17.Could see a brief covering. The rain of more concern more widely with an
:28:18. > :28:20.inch more in some places. Surface water and spray around. Brightening
:28:21. > :28:25.up across Northern Ireland. Improving picture to the west of
:28:26. > :28:29.Scotland, showery rain and hill snow easing eastwards. More of a struggle
:28:30. > :28:32.to improve across the more central and eastern parts of England though.
:28:33. > :28:37.Here the damp weather will continue through the day. Slow improvements
:28:38. > :28:40.out west. Brighter skies emerging across western parts of England and
:28:41. > :28:45.Wales and certainly Scotland picking up especially out west where it will
:28:46. > :28:50.be wet all day, it will be cold indeed. Thank you very much.
