:01:25. > :01:51.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:52. > :01:54.The Culture Secretary is under pressure to withdraw from decisions

:01:55. > :01:56.about press regulation, after it emerged that he'd had

:01:57. > :02:00.a relationship with a woman who's a sex worker.

:02:01. > :02:03.Four newspapers knew about it back in 2014 - Mr Whittingdale

:02:04. > :02:06.was informed but the papers decided not to publish.

:02:07. > :02:08.Labour claims it left him "vulnerable" to pressure

:02:09. > :02:20.from the press while he was - and still is - overseeing

:02:21. > :02:23.Mr Whittingdale insists it has made no difference to his decisions about

:02:24. > :02:40.the press. Laura Kuenssberg reports. I've made a statement. The papers

:02:41. > :02:46.held one of his secrets. And the culture Secretary John Whittingdale

:02:47. > :02:50.knew all about it. Before he was in the Cabinet, he met a woman on a

:02:51. > :02:54.dating site in 2030 and then had a six-month relationship with her. He

:02:55. > :03:00.says he simply didn't know she was a sacks worker but others did. Mr

:03:01. > :03:01.Whittingdale said, at no time did give me any indication of her real

:03:02. > :03:10.occupation... Labour believes he should give up

:03:11. > :03:14.some of his powers over the press. possible upon him in his role in the

:03:15. > :03:22.Cabinet as the person who looks after press regulation. He

:03:23. > :03:26.really ought to accuse himself for making these decisions

:03:27. > :03:30.given these revelations. I still think that a sensible thing

:03:31. > :03:32.for him and the government to do. If

:03:33. > :03:34.they don't, the concern is that the press

:03:35. > :03:43.has something over him. It's awkward for number ten that the Prime

:03:44. > :03:44.Minister didn't know anything about this until

:03:45. > :03:50.embarrassing rather than career ending for a politician in the

:03:51. > :03:52.21st-century to be caught in this kind of relationship.

:03:53. > :03:57.Could the culture secretary be neutral in his dealings

:03:58. > :04:03.when he knew some newspapers had details of his private life? He's

:04:04. > :04:07.adamant that he was, yet the rules for government

:04:08. > :04:09.ministers say they mustn't just avoid

:04:10. > :04:12.conflicts of interest, but they must steer well clear of anything that

:04:13. > :04:17.looks that way. And politicians and the press have been battling in

:04:18. > :04:35.the aftermath of the Campaigners accused the government

:04:36. > :04:39.of having gone soft and there are suspicions, firmly denied. The

:04:40. > :04:41.newspapers might have used their knowledge of Mr Whittingdale's

:04:42. > :04:49.relationship to part of the letters and enquiry into

:04:50. > :04:51.press standards is on hold. Criminal cases are still going on. There

:04:52. > :04:54.still isn't an official press regulator, though the

:04:55. > :05:02.isn't yet being enforced. So Brian Everson's recommendations have been

:05:03. > :05:06.carried out to the letter. However, they've gone a long way to meeting

:05:07. > :05:12.his requirements. They've set up a new regulator, much more

:05:13. > :05:13.independent. But it's changed the climate, the culture, of Fleet

:05:14. > :05:19.Street. Number ten says John Whitaker Dale

:05:20. > :05:23.is a single man entitled to a private life. For now, the Prime

:05:24. > :05:25.Minister is content to keep him around this table.

:05:26. > :05:29.This has been tricky for the government. It's been personally

:05:30. > :05:35.embarrassing for John Whittingdale, who is at the center of this.

:05:36. > :05:38.Compared to the political problems the government has had to deal with

:05:39. > :05:38.in the last couple of weeks, it is an

:05:39. > :05:44.issue on a much smaller scale. It's not quite clear how determined the

:05:45. > :05:46.Labour Party really is in terms of doggedly pursuing this

:05:47. > :05:50.issue to its logical conclusion. I have to say what it

:05:51. > :05:55.maybe has done, slightly more Tripoli, is reopened some of the

:05:56. > :05:56.real questions about the relationship between politicians and

:05:57. > :06:02.the press. The UK's biggest supermarket,

:06:03. > :06:04.Tesco is back in the black. After the worst results

:06:05. > :06:07.in its history last year, it's announced pre-tax

:06:08. > :06:09.profits of ?162 million A drive towards lower prices

:06:10. > :06:12.and stocking fewer products Our Business correspondent

:06:13. > :06:25.Emma Simpson has more details. Tesco. It has been through some

:06:26. > :06:31.torrid times. Sales have been on the slide. Now they are on the up. With

:06:32. > :06:32.the first quarterly sales growth in three years. We're seeing more

:06:33. > :06:39.people simply choose to walk into a Tesco

:06:40. > :06:40.versus a year ago. So the number of visit is increasing. The

:06:41. > :06:48.number of transactions is increasing. And the number of items

:06:49. > :06:53.that they are buying as customers within Tesco is increasing. Was this

:06:54. > :06:56.a flash in the pan or is at the start of a sustained recovery.

:06:57. > :07:00.It's the culmination of a series of very deliberate things that myself

:07:01. > :07:06.and the team have done over the course of the year. What have they

:07:07. > :07:16.been up to Western Mark Tesco has been cutting prices, and increasing

:07:17. > :07:18.the range of its products. There used to be nearly 20% more products

:07:19. > :07:27.here on these shelves. Now, they've stripped back. The

:07:28. > :07:35.focus to give customers what they want. The prices are easier than

:07:36. > :07:38.they used to be, less than they used to be on certain items. I do a lot

:07:39. > :07:47.of comparison shopping. Tesco is slightly cheaper than

:07:48. > :07:53.Morrisons on some occasions. Not really, no. Still the same as far as

:07:54. > :07:58.I can see. This is new. They've taken flak for these fictional farm

:07:59. > :07:58.names. Tesco is trying to beat discounters

:07:59. > :08:01.like Aldi and little at their own game with these budget

:08:02. > :08:12.bags of everyday fruit and veg. -- Lidl. Four years ago, Tesco made

:08:13. > :08:22.nearly ?4 billion in annual pre-tax profit. Today, it was just 162

:08:23. > :08:24.million. They are only making 0.3 p for every pound spent at the tills

:08:25. > :08:24.in Tesco. Previously it could be as high as

:08:25. > :08:36.8p. It's a fraction of what was made

:08:37. > :08:39.previously. They have to drive more people into their stores. Not easy

:08:40. > :08:44.when these discounters are growing fast. The Tesco share price fell

:08:45. > :08:48.sharply today as it want profits would remain under pressure. It may

:08:49. > :08:49.be in better shape but the Tesco recovery needs all the help it can

:08:50. > :08:55.get. There has been an outcry

:08:56. > :08:56.after footage emerged on the internet of vigilante groups

:08:57. > :08:59.in Bulgaria rounding up migrants, forcing them

:09:00. > :09:01.to the ground and tying them up. The government had initially

:09:02. > :09:04.welcomed the help of such groups who were detaining migrants

:09:05. > :09:05.illegally crossing They've now reversed their position

:09:06. > :09:08.after the video was widely condemned - as Jenny Hill

:09:09. > :09:11.reports from Bulgaria. What happened in the seclusion

:09:12. > :09:14.of a Bulgarian forest has now been The men on the ground are thought

:09:15. > :09:20.to be Afghan refugees. The message from their assailants

:09:21. > :09:26.couldn't be clearer. The video emerged as round the same

:09:27. > :09:40.time as the Bulgarian Prime Minister publicly thanked citizens

:09:41. > :09:47.who round up migrants. The footage was taken just

:09:48. > :09:55.outside this village. it is close to the Turkish

:09:56. > :09:57.border, we saw dozens Even so, Bogdan tells us,

:09:58. > :10:02.90% of the migrants who get caught He says he gives refugees something

:10:03. > :10:14.to eat and drink before Everyone we met here

:10:15. > :10:20.condemned the video. But it is not the first time

:10:21. > :10:22.Bulgarians have taken the law Take this man, a self-styled migrant

:10:23. > :10:28.hunter, who recently restrained National television called

:10:29. > :10:40.him a superhero. It is illegal to detain migrants -

:10:41. > :10:45.or anyone for that matter. They had no knowledge these

:10:46. > :10:47.people were migrants. Physically, it is very

:10:48. > :10:51.difficult to say. Your Prime Minister has thanked

:10:52. > :10:54.people who have rounded up refugees, and taken the law

:10:55. > :10:56.into their own hands. Bulgaria has openly adopted one

:10:57. > :11:00.of the toughest stances on migrants, Its government says it has

:11:01. > :11:07.to protect the EU external borders, but it does so, critics say,

:11:08. > :11:14.at the expense of human rights. A man has been arrested

:11:15. > :11:17.over the video. And the Government's promised

:11:18. > :11:19.a crackdown on vigilantes, but still, many here wonder how far

:11:20. > :11:22.some will go to Vote Leave and Britain Stronger

:11:23. > :11:34.in Europe have been designated as the official Leave and Remain

:11:35. > :11:36.campaigns in the EU referendum. the Conservative Party's most

:11:37. > :11:40.prominent euro-sceptics - has been chosen to lead

:11:41. > :11:42.the campaign for to pull out Our political correspondent Vicky

:11:43. > :11:47.Young is at Westminster for us - this wasn't the only group

:11:48. > :12:00.campaigning for leaving the EU - been real divisions amongst those

:12:01. > :12:05.who all want to be the lead campaigners to leave the European

:12:06. > :12:09.Union. The Ukip leader Nigel Farage and the face of most associated with

:12:10. > :12:12.leaving the EU, he's always felt immigration was the key to winning

:12:13. > :12:17.the referendum campaign. Others didn't agree with him and he was on

:12:18. > :12:22.the losing side today. Though he says he won't disappear, he will

:12:23. > :12:26.continue to campaign. People like Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, they

:12:27. > :12:30.will be in the group that will get to spend the ?7 million of official

:12:31. > :12:34.money, get to write some of those official document that will come to

:12:35. > :12:36.our letterboxes. There is one group who are going to complain about the

:12:37. > :12:41.decision by the electoral commission today. They say they want to go to

:12:42. > :12:44.court. They even say it could delay the referendum. Realistically,

:12:45. > :12:48.everyone else is working towards June 23 as the date the British

:12:49. > :12:54.people get to make this pretty momentous decision.

:12:55. > :12:56.A paralysed man has been able to perform complex movements

:12:57. > :13:00.with his hand such as play a video game or swipe a credit card -

:13:01. > :13:04.The man's thoughts are interpreted by a computer which sends impulses

:13:08. > :13:12.Ian Burkhart is playing a guitar video game.

:13:13. > :13:14.Using the power of thought, his paralysed fingers can

:13:15. > :13:17.move as a result of commands from his brain fed

:13:18. > :13:19.into a computer, which then stimulates his muscles

:13:20. > :13:27.Ian was paralysed below the elbows in a diving

:13:28. > :13:29.accident six years ago, but is slowly relearning

:13:30. > :13:38.Now it's just something that's so fluid, kind of like it was before

:13:39. > :13:42.I had my injury, where I just think about what I want to do and then

:13:43. > :13:50.The key to this technology is a tiny computer chip which surgeons

:13:51. > :13:53.implanted on the area of the brain, the motor cortex

:13:54. > :13:56.When he thinks about moving his fingers and hand,

:13:57. > :13:59.those messages can't travel down his injured spinal cord,

:14:00. > :14:07.The computer interprets the signals and then send impulses

:14:08. > :14:14.Ian's movements are still slow and deliberate, but his dexterity

:14:15. > :14:20.He can demonstrate practical tasks, like swiping a bank card.

:14:21. > :14:28.Engineers hope he will eventually be able to use a keyboard.

:14:29. > :14:29.The biggest dream would be to get full

:14:30. > :14:34.You know, because that allows you to be a lot more independent

:14:35. > :14:37.and not have to rely on people for simple day-to-day tasks that

:14:38. > :14:47.Several more patients are lined up to receive the device in Ohio.

:14:48. > :14:50.This really provides hope, we believe, for many patients

:14:51. > :14:51.in future, as this technology involves and matures,

:14:52. > :14:54.to help people who have disabilities from spinal-cord injury or traumatic

:14:55. > :14:57.brain injury or stroke, to allow them to be more functional

:14:58. > :15:11.Four years ago, a paralysed woman controlled a robotic arm

:15:12. > :15:16.A different approach is spinal repair.

:15:17. > :15:19.This paralysed patient in Poland had a cell transplant and

:15:20. > :15:28.This latest research in the journal Nature is restricted

:15:29. > :15:32.But the team in Ohio hope the technology will eventually be

:15:33. > :15:41.wireless and allow patients greater independence.

:15:42. > :15:46.The Culture Secretary is accused of a conflict of interest

:15:47. > :15:50.after revelations about an affair with a sex worker.

:15:59. > :16:08.Coming up in sport, Britain's world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson

:16:09. > :16:12.Fury says he has suffered more races since winning his titles and that

:16:13. > :16:19.nobody wants to see a gypsy do well. -- more racism.

:16:20. > :16:21.What started as a decision by a small parish council in Bristol

:16:22. > :16:24.has become the focus of a protest by over 20,000 people,

:16:25. > :16:27.been condemned by some of Britain's best known Olympic athletes

:16:28. > :16:30.and criticised by the Sports Minister.

:16:31. > :16:33.Stoke Gifford Parish Council has voted to become the first

:16:34. > :16:36.in the world to charge the company Parkrun for organising free fun runs

:16:37. > :16:42.in the local park which attract hundreds of people.

:16:43. > :16:45.Jon Kay is in the park for us, this kind of run takes

:16:46. > :16:50.place in parks all round the country, doesn't it?

:16:51. > :16:55.Yes it does, it is junior football here tonight but the Parkrun which

:16:56. > :16:59.takes place at the weekend doesn't just happen nationally it happens

:17:00. > :17:04.internationally which explains why so many people have signed the

:17:05. > :17:08.petition today. The chair of the parish council has told us this

:17:09. > :17:12.afternoon that he alone has received hundreds of e-mails today, some of

:17:13. > :17:13.them aggressive and abusive, which explains how controversial this

:17:14. > :17:24.decision is. This place comes alive on Saturday

:17:25. > :17:32.mornings. When 300 people head to little Stoke Park. Like Sydney and

:17:33. > :17:38.Seattle, Cape Town and Copenhagen there is a weekly five kilometre

:17:39. > :17:43.Parkrun. But the parish council has voted to charge for the event, the

:17:44. > :17:48.first in the world to do so. Amateur athletes who packed to the meeting

:17:49. > :17:58.say it goes against their ethos of free, fun sport. It is devastating.

:17:59. > :18:04.Support, it is the people, it is not about the running, it is the people.

:18:05. > :18:10.In a time of limited budgets the Paris Council says it needs to cover

:18:11. > :18:13.the increased wear and tear, parish council. Repairing parts can cost

:18:14. > :18:18.tens of thousands of pounds and a football clubs have took pay to play

:18:19. > :18:24.matches here councillors ask why not the runners? 300 people pounding the

:18:25. > :18:27.path, of course there will be extra wear and tear and will have to pay

:18:28. > :18:33.extra funding for it, something has to pay for that. The decision has

:18:34. > :18:37.been criticised by many on social media from a government minister to

:18:38. > :18:42.sporting stars like Dame Kelly Holmes. Paula Radcliffe described it

:18:43. > :18:49.as short-sighted. It's a shame because it is encouraging fitness. I

:18:50. > :18:54.do my local Parkrun every Saturday and you are running against all

:18:55. > :18:59.shapes and sizes. The organisers of the event won't pay and the Parkrun

:19:00. > :19:01.here will come to an end. So far this is the only council to charge

:19:02. > :19:06.but will others now follow? More than 2,000 pupils

:19:07. > :19:08.in Edinburgh are back in classes today after their schools

:19:09. > :19:11.were closed on Friday over fears The council says practical exams due

:19:12. > :19:18.to take place this week at schools affected by the closure

:19:19. > :19:20.have been postponed. While migrants crossing

:19:21. > :19:24.the mediterranean from Syria have dominated the headlines,

:19:25. > :19:25.more migrants heading for the UK are coming

:19:26. > :19:27.from southern Europe. According to Oxford University's

:19:28. > :19:30.Migration Observatory, most are prompted by the lack

:19:31. > :19:33.of jobs in the Eurozone. In the last five years the number

:19:34. > :19:37.of EU nationals living in the UK has risen by almost 700,000 -

:19:38. > :19:40.and a quarter of them Our correspondent Danny Savage has

:19:41. > :19:45.been to meet some of those York - a city with a low

:19:46. > :19:52.unemployment rate and So it is a popular destination

:19:53. > :19:57.for workers from abroad This woman is from Romania,

:19:58. > :20:08.she has worked in the Lake District and France and knows why EU

:20:09. > :20:11.workers are drawn here. It is about the economic

:20:12. > :20:16.environment. I think from what I have seen that

:20:17. > :20:20.if they do decide to stay, for a longer time if not forever,

:20:21. > :20:22.it is down to the The Dean Court Hotel is now

:20:23. > :20:28.sponsoring her through university. The boss here says a mobile EU

:20:29. > :20:31.workforce has the right attitude. And then they have the view

:20:32. > :20:34.of the York Minster A lot of the EU people

:20:35. > :20:37.coming from overseas want And they see Britain, the UK,

:20:38. > :20:41.as a fantastic place to work, we reward them very well and look

:20:42. > :20:44.after them very well. More people from Italy,

:20:45. > :20:49.Portugal and Spain are now These are countries that actually

:20:50. > :20:55.have relatively high standards of living but unemployment is quite

:20:56. > :20:58.high there and that is likely to be one of the reasons people

:20:59. > :21:01.find the UK attractive. And that was reflected

:21:02. > :21:03.today in York. I think it is one of the best

:21:04. > :21:10.decisions I have ever taken I can see now, a decent future

:21:11. > :21:17.for me in a way that, I have got good English,

:21:18. > :21:21.I am studying something, I'm getting good experience,

:21:22. > :21:24.something that I don't really But others say money is not

:21:25. > :21:32.the only factor. It is not because we can't find

:21:33. > :21:44.a job back at home it's because we want to do

:21:45. > :21:47.something more. People will of course move

:21:48. > :21:50.from the weaker economies of the EU But those we met today are also

:21:51. > :21:54.here because they like The Duke and Duchess

:21:55. > :22:01.of Cambridge are on safari in India, as their tour
