Voting to leave the EU would trigger a year long recession - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A warning from both David Cameron and George Osborne - | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
at least half a million jobs could go. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
This could be, for the first time in history, | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
As I stand here in B, it would be a DIY recession. | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
The Leave campaign hit back - they're calling it propaganda. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
There could have been economic catastrophe for this country if we | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
left the European exchange rate mechanism, that's what the Treasury | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
It was a liberation for this economy. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |

Rory McIlroy says his concerns over the Zika virus | :01:29. | :01:30. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
With exactly a month to go to the EU referendum, the Remain campaign has | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
warned that leaving the EU could trigger an "immediate | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Using analysis produced by the Treasury, George Osborne warned | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
that at least half 1 million jobs could be lost, | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
The Chancellor also said real incomes and wages could be cut. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
But many campaigning for Britain to leave said that was a "deeply | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
biased view of the future," ignoring all the advantages of leaving. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Here's our Economics Editor, Kamal Ahmed. | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
One month to go until the referendum on David Cameron and George Osborne | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
are on the road again, warning voters against what they call a leap | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
in the dark. They chose the head office of B in Hampshire to | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
deliver a joint message - leaving the EU would hit growth. The shock | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
to our economy after leaving Europe would tip the country into | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
recession. This could be, for the first time in history, a recession | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
brought on ourselves. As I stand here in B, it would be | :03:00. | :03:18. | |
a DIY recession. This is the latest in a long line of gloomy assessment | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
from the Treasury, the IMF and the Bank of England. Aren't you simply | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
trying to scare people into voting to remain? I think if you look at | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
this forecast and take it together with other forecasts, you can see it | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
is far from being the most pessimistic. Indeed we are assuming | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
in this document a deal is done in two years between Britain and the | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
European Union after we have left which I think is very optimistic. So | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
what does the Treasury's shock scenario look like? Let's start with | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
GDP, our national income. The document suggests that could fall by | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
6%. It also talks about real incomes, saying they could fall by | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
4% and George Osborne suggested that could be ?800 for someone on average | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
income. It also talks about unemployment and says that could | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
rise by 820,000 in the next two years if Britain decides to leave | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
the European Union. Why? If trade slows and economic uncertainty | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
increases, many believe the whole economy will slow. They try to look | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
at the effects of increased uncertainty which would arise if we | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
were to vote for leaving the European Union. That very likely | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
does reduce economic output, reduces income relative to what they would | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
have been. They come up with a set of forecasts which are not | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
dissimilar to those that a lot of other people have come up with so on | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
the whole this looks robust. Boris Johnson, also out on the stump. For | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Leave campaigners, they say that forecasts can be wrong. They said | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
that we couldn't leave the European exchange-rate mechanism, they said | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
it would be a disaster, they said interest rates would rise, they said | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
it would be an economic catastrophe for this country if we left the | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
European exchange rate mechanism. That's what the Treasury said, and | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
it was a liberation for this economy. Even they -- for the | :05:13. | :05:23. | |
Allies, there was a warning not to overcook it. It can have a negative | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
effect. I don't have complete control over how George Osborne | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
chooses to campaign, I hope you will choose to campaign positively in the | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
weeks to come. The Government is warning voters to the cautious, but | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
for Leave this is about a brighter future, free from the shackles as | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
they see them of the EU. I have lost count of the number of | :05:49. | :05:58. | |
forts there have been, what's different about this one? There | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
seems to be a direct relationship between the importance that the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Government puts on the economic arguments related to the European | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Union referendum and the amount of pages produced by the Treasury on | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
the subject. Last month was the long-term economic impact, 200 pages | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
of pretty grim news. Today the short-term economic impact, 100 | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
pages of pretty grim news. Why is this so important to the Government? | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
They believe the economy is the issue that will sway undecided | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
voters as they approach June the 23rd. When you get in the booth with | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
your pencil, if you are worried about the economy you are more | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
likely, the Government hopes, to vote for Remain than Leave. For | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
Leave, their big counterargument is that forecasts can be wrong, and | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
also that if we left the European Union that would be a huge boost to | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
us. Freed from the shackles of the European Union single market, as | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
they see it. This is ultimately for the voters to decide. This will be | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
the last attempt by the Treasury to convince them, it is whether the | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
public thinks this will sway my vote. Thank you. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
The BBC's Reality Check team has been examining the claims | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
in the Treasury document, and many others from both sides | :07:21. | :07:22. | |

In a legal first, a restaurant owner has been jailed for six years | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
after ignoring a customer's request for a nut-free meal. | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
Paul Wilson died within minutes of eating a takeaway he bought | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
at the Indian Garden restaurant in Easingwold | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
Mohammed Zaman, who owned the restaurant, was found | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
This is Paul Wilson, about to order a meal | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
He knows he has a severe nut allergy and tells the waiter. | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
It is even written on the chit - "No Nuts". | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
But the meal that 38-year-old walked out with did have nuts in. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Just before he ate it, he called his mum. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
He was home, he'd got his curry and his last words were, "I love | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
The restaurant owner, Mohammed Zaman, was today convicted | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
With large business debts, he'd cut corners and swapped | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
expensive almond powder for cheaper ground nut powder | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
And it wasn't the first time a customer with a nut allergy had | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
As soon as I tasted it, I could feel my lips swelling up | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Student Ruby Scott ordered a supposedly nut-free meal from one | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
of Zaman's other restaurants a few weeks earlier, but it | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
I don't know whether they just don't know how severe a peanut allergy is. | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
I think a lot of people think it is just a stomach ache, | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
but it is actually very life-threatening. | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
On the night Paul Wilson died, police were quickly round here | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Zaman's food had again caused a severe allergic reaction. | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
Then, astonishingly, the day afterwards, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Trading Standards came here to buy a meal which apparently had no nuts | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
in it, but when they tested it they found it had enough peanuts | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
to potentially kill someone with the allergy. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
Police say the case sends out a warning. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
The message goes out that if anybody else operates their business | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
in a similar sort of way, they could possibly face prosecution | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
Paul Wilson's parents say their only son was their whole world. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
His dad says Paul was his best friend. | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
The restaurant owner responsible for his death repeatedly lied | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
during his trial and was utterly indifferent to the health | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
More than 80 people have been killed in a series of explosions | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
on Syria's Mediterranean coast in government-held areas | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
that had so far escaped the worst of the conflict. | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
Four blasts have been heard in the city of Jableh and a further | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
The monitoring group the Syrian Observatory | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
for Human Rights also says 200 people were wounded in the attack. | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Five employees of the private security firm G4S working | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
in the control room of Lincolnshire Police have been | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
suspended after an investigation by its anti-corruption unit. | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
It's claimed the G4S staff were making 999 calls themselves | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
in an attempt to make sure they met targets on response times. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
Our correspondent Daniel Sandford is here. | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
What exactly were these people doing? When Lincolnshire Police | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
privatised their 999 call service, it set a target and that was that | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
92% of calls should be answered within ten seconds. The staff now | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
working for G4S started getting behind on those targets towards the | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
end of last year so they started dialling 999 themselves so they | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
could answer it very quickly and improve the ratio of calls being | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
answered within ten seconds. They made around 700 extra calls to 999 | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
themselves and five staff have now been suspended. This is important | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
because this contract was supposed to be paving the way for | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
privatisation of other police jobs. G4S was hoping to get many more | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
contracts but now its reputation is very badly damaged. If it wasn't bad | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
enough, after allegations that staff had assaulted people in Medway | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
training centre and that G4S was pulling the Ministry of Justice for | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
monitoring people on tykes who were either dead or had already been | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
returned to prison. It's been the worst-kept | :12:02. | :12:02. | |
secret in football - today Manchester United confirmed | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
that manager Leading the club to FA Cup glory | :12:05. | :12:05. | |
at Wembley over the weekend Now all eyes are on the man who's | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
likely to replace him - former Katie Gornall is at Old Trafford | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
for us this evening. We have still had no confirmation | :12:15. | :12:24. | |
from the club, but we know the players are aware that Louis van | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
Gaal has been sacked and has paid the price for two underwhelming | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
seasons at Old Trafford, despite arriving with such promise and being | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
given more than ?250 million to spend on new players. He arrived | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
with a big reputation and a record that boasted success, but even | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
adding the FA Cup to that resonate was not enough to save Louis van | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Gaal. This morning he arrived alone at the training ground, not to plan | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
for the future but to discuss his departure. How different his mood | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
was just 36 hours earlier. Manchester United have taken the | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
lead in extra time in the cup final. He celebrated as United won their | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
first FA Cup in 12 years but his fate had already been decided. For | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
the majority of clubs, winning the FA Cup would be the springboard to | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
the next season, fourth us it has been the finale. Treat Louis van | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
Gaal right, he has had a great career and I'm only sorry it has | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
ended this way for him. It all started to seriously unravel for | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
Louis van Gaal when United suffered their worst run of form for 26 | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
years. They failed to qualify for the Champions League, missing out on | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
goal difference. Now they will turn to former Chelsea manager Jose | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
Mourinho. Today in London he gave no hint he was about to step into one | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
of the biggest jobs in world football. He is a very intelligent | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
manager and tactically he's very good. He manages to get the best out | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
of every player. Jose Mourinho can be controversial but his methods | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
brings excess. This time Manchester United hope they have a manager who | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
is the right fit. The Prime Minister | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
and the Chancellor warn of a self-inflicted year long | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
recession if we vote And I am at the Chelsea Flower Show | :14:21. | :14:33. | |
which has been wishing one of its regular visitors, the Queen, very | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
happy 90th birthday. Brendan Rodgers says he plans | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
to continue Celtic's domination of Scottish Football, | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
as he's appointed as Over the last few weeks we've | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
reported on how people are making up their minds about the EU | :14:45. | :14:58. | |
Referendum. One factor that seems to influence | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
the decision is age. Recent polls suggest that 70% | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
of those aged under 25 It's very different | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
for those over 65 - nearly said 60% said they'd | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
vote to leave. Our home editor Mark Easton is in | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
Eastbourne for us this evening. Bit of a generation game? It is | :15:18. | :15:31. | |
indeed, welcome to Eastbourne with its view out across the Channel to | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
our continental neighbours. How people react to that view really | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
does depend on their generation. The generation which voted us into | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
Europe back in 1975 now largely say they want us to leave and the | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
generation which has never known anything different once asked to | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
stay. I have been trying to find out why. | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
On England's southern shore, Eastbourne is | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
Some parts of the town are full of student digs. | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
In others the average age is over 70. | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
This week I would like to talk about... | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
At an over 50s club, a creative writing class where every | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
single member tells me they will be voting to leave the EU. | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
Where you live I think 80 odd people, overwhelming | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
I think basically they want to get the England that they knew | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
We are diminishing with our say, we are just one, first | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
of all we were one in eight or nine, now we are one in 32, we are going | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
I think it's ridiculous that the EU are dictating | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
to us over immigration, that we have no control | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
So many immigrants are coming in, many of them illegally. | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
Across town students dance to a different tune. | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Among these trainee physical education teachers every single | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
person tells me they will be voting to stay in the EU. | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
I think your generation appears to be more comfortable | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
with diversity, people moving around? | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
Times have changed from our grandad and grandmas generation, | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
I think diversity has become more accepted. | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
I don't do the things that my grandma used | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
to do back in the day, I just get on with it. | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
I'm very proud Brit, but I'm very comfortable | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
There is an argument that huge numbers of Europeans coming | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
to the United Kingdom will change our identity somehow. | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
I can't think of one British thing that we have to lose. | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
You do have immigrants who can cause problems and everyone is worried | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
about but then again you have the immigrants who come | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
in who have contributed to our country so much. | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
With such different views on Britain's relationship | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
with its neighbours across the water, we decided | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
to invite representatives of both groups to meet | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
We took the search for common ground to the pier's tearoom. | :17:56. | :18:10. | |
These Europeans are taking thousands, billions of money, why | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
I think it's a matter of accessibility for us, | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
a lot of us here who are training to be teachers would like to go | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
and teach abroad and we feel that if we do come out then our chance | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
of that will be jeopardised and it wouldn't be as accessible. | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
They are interfering with our way of life. | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
We didn't ask them to but they are doing it. | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
If everyone keeps coming over to us and you keep going over to them, | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
I don't mean to sound rude but we are going to be here a little | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
bit longer than you are, so therefore surely we should have | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
more say on it because we are the ones who like to go to Europe | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
and travel Europe and might study in Europe so therefore I believe | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
that our views are a little bit more valid than yours. | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
But actually older people are much more likely to vote | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
in the referendum than the young, so their voice will be louder. | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Young or old it's who takes part which may well decide Britain's | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
future relationship with its neighbours over the water. | :19:05. | :19:07. | |

Fat doesn't make you fat - or at least it's not as bad for us | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
That's according to the National Obesity Forum, | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
which has criticised official dietary guidelines. | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
It says the promotion of low-fat food has had 'disastrous | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
But Public Health England has accused the charity | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
Our Health correspondent Sophie Hutchinson reports. | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
Fat, low fat, meat, vegetarian, carbs, no carbs, there is so much | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
advice on what not to eat it can be confusion. Today's report has blamed | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
dietary guidelines for a rise in obesity and diabetes but said that | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
is not the problem. So what are the existing guidelines? May recommend | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
meals should be made up of one forward starchy carbohydrates, a | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
smaller proportion of fat and protein and the largest proportion | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
should be put and vegetables. But new suggested guidelines say whilst | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
protein should remain the same, starchy carbohydrates should be | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
banished and even more controversially low-fat product to | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
be replaced with full fat food such as milk, butter and cheese. Eating | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
full fat dairy whilst cutting out carbs like bread and potatoes seems | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
to have worked for Chris, he has type two diabetes, before the diet | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
he was on the maximum medication but his blood sugar, blood pressure and | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
cholesterol are now down and he is off all the drugs. I have felt | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
better than I have for many years, the bassist mac weight I have been | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
all my adult life. People don't recognise me if they haven't seen me | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
for a long time. I have more energy. His GP won and award because so many | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
of his diabetic patients don't need medicine and it has meant huge | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
savings. It should be this hard to know what to eat but scientists just | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
can't agree. For decades they have been locked into an increasingly | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
bitter row over what is worse, fat like this cheese or carbohydrates, | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
and the mainstream view is that limiting fat is vital. We have very | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
good evidence that eating too much fat contributes to an increased risk | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
of obesity. It's also true of course that eating too much sugar, eating | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
too much of anything will contribute to obesity. Public Health England | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
has described recommendations for a low carb, high-fat diet as | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
irresponsible. But with predictions of possible soaring rates of obesity | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
in the next few decades it's clear getting our diet right is essential. | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
Councillors in North Yorkshire will vote tonight on whether to allow | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
fracking for shale gas to take place in England for the first | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
The company involved, Third Energy, wants to use | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
the controversial process at one of its existing drilling | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
sites, near the village of Kirby Misperton. | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
John Moylan is in Northallerton for us now. | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
This has been very controversial locally? It is controversial and | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
that is why councillors here for two days on Friday and today have been | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
hearing from dozens of people, most of them speaking against but some | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
speaking for. It is being relayed by Tannoy and a decision is due soon. | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
Vast amounts of shale gas in rocks across the north of England, in | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
America where they have exploited it it has led to lower prices which has | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
helped industry but it's been controversial among people concerned | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
about the environmental effects. Here are the government is backing | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
franking but things are getting held up at a local level. We expect a | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
decision very soon and if we get approval it will set an important | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
precedent and it could mean this company Third Energy is cracking in | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
the north Yorkshire countryside by the end of the year. | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
It's the high point of the British horticultural calendar. | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
The Chelsea Flower Show is blooming into life today - | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
with organisers urging what they're calling a "lost generation" of under | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
but this evening some Royal visitors have had a sneak preview - | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
with the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh taking a look around | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
Our correspondent Sarah Campbell is there too. | :23:23. | :23:34. | |
Indeed, the Queen was here just a few minutes ago and had a birds eye | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
view of some trees and emerging hedges. Only at Chelsea or more | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
specifically only at the show gardens. This is the show garden of | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
Dermot Gallagher on and it has been inspired by British eccentricity. | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
There has been more security than normal this year but there are | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
around 30 gardens competing for medals on subjects as diverse as | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
mathematics and modern slavery and Juliet is the designer of that. How | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
do you reflect such a difficult subject in a garden? I wanted to | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
concentrate on the fact that modern slavery is ahead in crime, it's | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
behind closed doors. As we walk along the streets in our own towns | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
we have no idea that people are being held captive and forced to | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
work in every major town in the country. It's a beautiful garden, as | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
a designer you meet some headlines because in its 103 year history you | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
are the first black garden designer to ever short here. Are you | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
surprised by that? I had no idea, it never occurred to me. It is | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
surprising, I think work is being done to increase diversity and that | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
cannot be anything but a good thing. Thank you. That is a theme, trying | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
to encourage as many people as possible to get back into garden, | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
there is a squeaky coming from the roof lifting of the garden. It's all | :25:11. | :25:11. | |
going on here. We started off bright and sunny as | :25:12. | :25:24. | |
the temperatures rose, the cloud bubbled up and through the day it | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
got a bit thicker and deeper. Some showers, some thunderstorms in the | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
south-east of England and around Northampton. Showers stretching from | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
Scotland to the south-east which will slowly fade away. Should become | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
dry and clear overnight, maybe a bit chilly in the countryside with mist | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
and fog for north-east England and Northern Ireland. Tomorrow starts | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
bright and sunny, we will see the cloud billed as temperatures rise | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
but this time there are very few showers, most of us will have a dry | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
day with sunny spells. For Scotland, central and eastern parts will be | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
dry tomorrow, any showers in Scotland will be a risk in the South | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
West, maybe coming into Northern Ireland. For many parts of England | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
and Wales it will be dry. It will be warm when the sunshine comes | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
through. Some isolated showers across Wales on the South West but | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
very hit and miss. Into Wednesday we will draw in more cloud from the | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
North Sea and maybe some white rain or drizzle. On the whole | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
temperatures will be quite a bit lower but you will get sunshine in | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures recovering by the end | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
of the week, for Northern parts it should be fine with sunshine but in | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
the south some heavy showers. That's all from the BBC News at Six | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
