:01:28. > :01:31.The Bank of England has issued its strongest warning yet

:01:35. > :01:36.Its Governor, Mark Carney, said a vote to leave
:01:37. > :01:41.The remarks were seized on by the Chancellor,
:01:42. > :01:44.who argued that it was further evidence that quitting the EU
:01:45. > :01:47.would be what he called a lose-lose for Britain.
:01:48. > :01:49.But Leave campaigners have accused Mr Carney of bias,
:01:50. > :01:53.with one of them, the former Chancellor, Lord Lamont,
:01:54. > :01:58.Our Economics Editor, Kamal Ahmed, has more.
:01:59. > :02:14.Today, the Bank of England said that if Britain left
:02:15. > :02:16.the European Union, things could become worse.
:02:17. > :02:18.In his strong warning yet, Mark Carney said that all nine
:02:19. > :02:20.members of the bank's Monetary Policy Committee
:02:21. > :02:21.spoke with one voice about
:02:22. > :02:24.Material growth slowdown and growth, notable
:02:25. > :02:26.increase in inflation, that
:02:27. > :02:31.Not on a whim, it is based on rigorous analysis and
:02:32. > :02:42.Given the gloominess of your forecast and the
:02:43. > :02:45.data, can you rule out Britain's economy being tipped into recession?
:02:46. > :02:48.If we were to leave the European Union?
:02:49. > :02:57.Of course, there is a range of possible scenarios around those
:02:58. > :03:00.directions. Which could possibly include a technical recession, it
:03:01. > :03:07.could possibly. A warning on the risks of an EU exit, 3-part stash
:03:08. > :03:09.growth could be substantially lower, inflation could rise and
:03:10. > :03:14.unemployment could increase as investment falls. The bank said the
:03:15. > :03:19.value of sterling could fall sharply as markets reacted to the referendum
:03:20. > :03:24.result. Many economists agree with this gloomy prognosis. A recession
:03:25. > :03:29.is possible if the UK leaves the European Union, in the short term
:03:30. > :03:36.you would have a lot of uncertainty and we advise clients at the moment
:03:37. > :03:42.to factor in between .5 and 1.5% lower growth in the event of an exit
:03:43. > :03:47.in the first few years. The Bank of England Governor has certainly moved
:03:48. > :03:51.significantly today. The warnings about the risks of leaving the
:03:52. > :03:55.European Union far stronger than before, the use of the recession
:03:56. > :04:00.word significant and I am told deliberate. Mark Carney knows it is
:04:01. > :04:06.controversial territory. A central bank Governor in the spotlight. His
:04:07. > :04:11.response, that the Bank of England Governor has a duty to be
:04:12. > :04:17.transparent. We have a responsibility, if we have done
:04:18. > :04:22.analysis and if it has been a preoccupation, and if it is in our
:04:23. > :04:24.judgment the biggest risk to the forecast, to talk about it. And that
:04:25. > :04:30.is what we have done. Blue skies over the bank at storm clouds for
:04:31. > :04:34.the Governor as leave campaigners accuse him of making hysterical
:04:35. > :04:36.comments. One MP called for his resignation and the former
:04:37. > :04:41.Chancellor warned him against intervening in the European Union
:04:42. > :04:47.debate. The Governor ought to be very careful with what he says. Is a
:04:48. > :04:50.real danger he could have a self fulfilling crisis, warning of a
:04:51. > :04:56.crisis that need not the but there is no need for any crisis. Britain
:04:57. > :05:00.can trade and prospered just like any other independent country
:05:01. > :05:04.outside the EU. It is not Mark Carney's first morning on the risks
:05:05. > :05:07.of leaving the European Union and it is likely to be his last. The
:05:08. > :05:09.question is what influenced today's strong words will have on the
:05:10. > :05:11.referendum outcome. Let's go live now to our Political
:05:12. > :05:17.Correspondent, Alex Forsyth. Alex, the Governor's comments have
:05:18. > :05:29.sparked controversy. This is a highly charged political
:05:30. > :05:31.debate. The intervention of Mark Carney is undoubtedly a boost to
:05:32. > :05:37.those who want the UK to remain in the EU. A senior, credible figure
:05:38. > :05:42.once again warning in no uncertain terms of the economic risks of
:05:43. > :05:47.leaving. This plays into the central theme of the remaining campaign that
:05:48. > :05:52.we're better off in but the Governor is independent and should be outside
:05:53. > :05:56.of politics. Number 10 say he is within his remit to one of economic
:05:57. > :06:02.risks but this intervention has left those who want the UK to leave
:06:03. > :06:05.incensed. They say he has overstepped the mark, he is
:06:06. > :06:08.venturing into political territory and they have called his claims
:06:09. > :06:11.hysterical, one said he has undermined the reputation of the
:06:12. > :06:17.Bank of England and another even called for him to be sacked. It is
:06:18. > :06:23.six weeks today until this crucial vote and both sides of this campaign
:06:24. > :06:25.have taken the gloves off. Thank you.
:06:26. > :06:27.The Government has announced plans for a major shake-up
:06:28. > :06:31.The Culture Secretary, John Whittingdale, wants to scrap
:06:32. > :06:33.the body that oversees the BBC and replace it with a board
:06:34. > :06:36.on which several members would be government appointed.
:06:37. > :06:38.That's led to concerns that the BBC's independence
:06:39. > :06:41.Our Political Editor, Laura Kuennsberg, reports
:06:42. > :06:43.on a proposal that could have far reaching consequences
:06:44. > :06:52.for the BBC's future and the content of its programmes.
:06:53. > :07:05.On the pitch... In the bag. -- bake. On the dance floor. On air. The BBC
:07:06. > :07:10.has been everywhere for all of our lifetimes but what is coming up?
:07:11. > :07:15.Changes and you will know what the top stars get paid. This is not
:07:16. > :07:21.rocket science, if I was in charge I would have a word about what we get
:07:22. > :07:28.paid! The Culture Secretary, who once said he was tempted to abolish
:07:29. > :07:31.the BBC, sounded different today. Mr Speaker, the BBC is and must always
:07:32. > :07:35.remain at the heart of British life. You want the BBC to thrive and make
:07:36. > :07:41.fantastic programmes for audiences and act as an engine for growth and
:07:42. > :07:47.creativity. What has changed? The BBC Trust will be replaced with a
:07:48. > :07:50.new, independent board. As many as half of the members will be
:07:51. > :07:55.appointed by the government. There will be new rules on diversity and
:07:56. > :08:00.impartiality. And Ofcom, the broadcasting watchdog, will regulate
:08:01. > :08:04.the BBC for the first time. The government will not stick its nose
:08:05. > :08:09.into schedules and the 93-year-old licence fee survives for at least a
:08:10. > :08:13.decade. One of the big issues, the future of the licence fee and how
:08:14. > :08:18.the BBC competes with rivals, you have ducked the big questions? I
:08:19. > :08:21.think the changes we are making are substantial, they will have a
:08:22. > :08:26.significant effect. I think they would ensure the BBC excels even
:08:27. > :08:30.more on the things that the BBC does, which are prized by audiences
:08:31. > :08:35.across the country. And we put in place a completely different
:08:36. > :08:38.government doctor. It will be a stronger board, more involved in
:08:39. > :08:42.day-to-day running, why should half of them be appointed by the
:08:43. > :08:46.government? The BBC benefits from ?3.7 billion of government money and
:08:47. > :08:51.I think the government is entitled to have representation. But there is
:08:52. > :08:55.a fear of the BBC would have to doff its cap to the government. The idea
:08:56. > :09:01.that the government of the day, whichever it is, can put six
:09:02. > :09:07.political supporters onto the editorial board of a Public Service
:09:08. > :09:10.Broadcasting is anathema to me. But if you get your drama fix only
:09:11. > :09:14.through iPlayer, you will have to pay the licence fee. And for new
:09:15. > :09:20.services, there might be a subscribe share. I think the main message of
:09:21. > :09:25.the White Paper about distinct of, high-quality programming is exactly
:09:26. > :09:31.what I think the BBC is about and should be doing. If you are honest
:09:32. > :09:35.with yourself, do you have any tiny inkling that somehow the BBC got
:09:36. > :09:40.away with it? I don't think the BBC got away with it! If you look back
:09:41. > :09:47.at where we were one year ago, the debate and discussion is which have
:09:48. > :09:51.been had involving the CMS and other parts of government, some in public
:09:52. > :09:55.and some behind closed doors, are exactly the discussions and debates
:09:56. > :09:59.you should have. This is BBC television... But with the days of
:10:00. > :10:04.huddling around the television set disappearing fast, should the BBC
:10:05. > :10:09.change more quickly? There will be disappointment in the commercial
:10:10. > :10:15.sector that the BBC has not been reduced in scope and size. This, my
:10:16. > :10:20.sweet... Is a letter from my solicitor. At times it seemed that
:10:21. > :10:24.the BBC could have been served and ultimate. It will face more
:10:25. > :10:30.pressure. Happy Christmas! That these talks have come to a less
:10:31. > :10:33.dramatic end. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.
:10:34. > :10:36.For the first time, foreign companies that already have,

:10:43. > :10:47.But he's faced criticism for failing to take stronger action
:10:48. > :10:49.against tax havens in British Overseas Territories
:10:50. > :10:59.Our Diplomatic Correspondent, James Landale, reports.
:11:00. > :11:05.Tonight on Panorama, we expose the secret world of tax havens...
:11:06. > :11:09.Belleek of the so-called Panama Papers revealed that financial
:11:10. > :11:14.corruption is nothing if not global. With the illicit money flowing
:11:15. > :11:17.unchecked around the world. Today, presidents and ministers gathered in
:11:18. > :11:23.London to discuss how they could tackle a problem that David Cameron
:11:24. > :11:26.said how so many consequences. Corruption is the cancer at the
:11:27. > :11:32.heart of so many problems we need to tackle in our world. If you want to
:11:33. > :11:35.defeat terrorism and extremism, we have to recognise that corruption
:11:36. > :11:41.and lack of access to justice can often be the way that people are
:11:42. > :11:45.driven towards extremism. The Prime Minister began by promising to deal
:11:46. > :11:49.with London's reputation as a haven for money-laundering. Announcing
:11:50. > :11:53.that he would force all sure firms that own property in the NUT Wales
:11:54. > :11:56.to reveal their ultimate owners in a publicly available register. Foreign
:11:57. > :12:01.firms bidding for government contracts would have to be just as
:12:02. > :12:05.open. By being more transparent it will deter people who want to park
:12:06. > :12:09.corrupt money in London property and if you have money there, you will be
:12:10. > :12:12.exposed and you will know if your neighbour is the son of Colonel
:12:13. > :12:18.Gaddafi, for example. That would not have been clear before. But
:12:19. > :12:22.campaigners want the Prime Minister to go further and put pressure on
:12:23. > :12:27.Britain's overseas territories and Crown Dependencies to be more
:12:28. > :12:31.transparent. Today, some of those territories, like Cayman Islands,
:12:32. > :12:33.agreed to share more information about company ownership amongst
:12:34. > :12:37.themselves and the authorities but crucially, not the public. They
:12:38. > :12:43.think they have been treated unfairly. Those countries with real
:12:44. > :12:48.political clout on the world stage, if they continue to focus on
:12:49. > :12:52.jurisdictions that smaller in size while ignoring obvious jurisdictions
:12:53. > :12:58.which ought to be part of the conversation, the result will be
:12:59. > :13:01.continued failure. If you were countries at the conference did
:13:02. > :13:06.agree to follow the lead of Britain and set up public registers of all
:13:07. > :13:10.company ownership. But crucially, the United States was not one of
:13:11. > :13:14.them. Even if it did agree that something had to be done.
:13:15. > :13:22.Corruption, writ large, is as much of an enemy because it destroys
:13:23. > :13:26.nation states as some of the extremists we are fighting. The test
:13:27. > :13:30.for this summit will be how many countries and organisations follow
:13:31. > :13:33.the lead. It has not gone without notice that Panama, the British

:14:25. > :14:27.worst since records began more than one decade ago. One of the reasons

:14:37. > :14:40.year compare to the previous financial year. That gives you some
:14:41. > :14:44.indication. As to the reasons, a lot of different ones have been offered,

:26:40. > :27:07.Not too dissimilar. We were talking of temperatures of 25 in Porthmadog.
:27:08. > :27:13.But it has been cloudy in the Channel Island and showers have been
:27:14. > :27:17.developing in the south. In fact not just showers, thunder storms!
:27:18. > :27:23.They're range down in parts of Hampshire, Dorset and heading into
:27:24. > :27:28.Devon. But to show you the sunshine, this was Chatsworth in Derbyshire. A
:27:29. > :27:33.fine evening and a fine night and we change the weather script and pick
:27:34. > :27:39.up a northerly breeze and some rain in the far north. The clearest
:27:40. > :27:46.weather to the west. Not cold. Not just yet any way. Not as muggy as
:27:47. > :27:52.recent nights. But on Friday there is still a lot of dry weather, but
:27:53. > :27:56.behind the cold front, colder air. Ahead of it more cloud first thing
:27:57. > :28:02.tomorrow. More cloud in Scotland and some showers. The temperatures will
:28:03. > :28:05.drop. From 23 more like 13 tomorrow. Sunshine in Northern Ireland, so we
:28:06. > :28:09.start to get higher temperatures the further south we come, with the
:28:10. > :28:15.legacy of the warm air is still with us. Still some cloud and there some
:28:16. > :28:20.rogue showers. A lot of dry weather and strong sunshine. Unusually
:28:21. > :28:31.strong this early in the season. In Northern Ireland we are into the
:28:32. > :28:36.high cot Gair. So -- category. High pressure builds again and that means
:28:37. > :28:39.with clear nights will be chilly and we could have some ground frost
:28:40. > :28:42.towards the weekend. But otherwise the weekend does look like largely
