:03:30. > :03:34.says immigration is not just too high but trashed his own party's
:03:35. > :03:37.plan, too. I think that they share the scandal of the promise made by
:03:38. > :03:40.politicians repeatedly that they can cut immigration to the tens of
:03:41. > :03:45.thousands, and then to throw their hands up in the air and say there is
:03:46. > :03:48.nothing we can do. You said it was cynical to make that promise and
:03:49. > :03:52.stay in the EU. That is a different thing, you are suggesting it was
:03:53. > :03:57.misleading people, that we can't do it? I think it is cynical to say
:03:58. > :04:03.that we can continue to control immigration from the EU when we
:04:04. > :04:08.can't. And he will use that to try to get you on side. The campaign has
:04:09. > :04:14.been a B in Westminster for weeks, but it is testing on the stump now,
:04:15. > :04:17.too. Believe it or not, this gorilla has complained to the police about
:04:18. > :04:20.allegedly being punched. One man ended up on the ground in the
:04:21. > :04:26.frenzy. The trouble for the government side is that they are
:04:27. > :04:30.miles of their immigration target. In 2010, they promised to get
:04:31. > :04:36.immigration under 100,000. Right now, it is more than three times
:04:37. > :04:40.that. But roughly half is from outside the EU. Reducing net
:04:41. > :04:44.migration to the sustainable levels that existed before Labour lost
:04:45. > :04:47.control in the 1990s remains absolutely the right focus because
:04:48. > :04:51.of the pressure on public services and the speed of rate of change.
:04:52. > :04:56.That remains the intent of this government. But campaigners who want
:04:57. > :05:02.to stay inside the EU say the outers are whipping up fear. This poster
:05:03. > :05:06.from Operation Black Vote controversially captures that
:05:07. > :05:09.concern. But the man he was Home Secretary when Eastern European
:05:10. > :05:15.countries joined says leaving would be no solution. The Leave campaign
:05:16. > :05:18.by talking in theory but not demonstrating in practice what they
:05:19. > :05:22.would do on something as crucial as immigration, I think they are
:05:23. > :05:25.misleading people. Did you imagine anything like the numbers of people
:05:26. > :05:30.coming from other European countries to this country when you were Home
:05:31. > :05:36.Secretary? There's no question in my mind that we did not anticipate back
:05:37. > :05:43.in 2004, the numbers who would come. A clear conclusion, with the benefit

:06:05. > :06:14.Done? George, Goole is a town with a

:06:18. > :06:22.nationals who have arrived in the last 15 years or so. When it comes
:06:23. > :06:27.to migration, opinion is divided. Some businesses see it as an issue
:06:28. > :06:30.-- Central bank and others try to see it as a positive thing but there
:06:31. > :06:34.are also lots of people who feel threatened and unsettled by it. So
:06:35. > :06:36.when it comes to the EU referendum, migration is a big deal here.
:06:37. > :06:39.Out in the Vale of York, a busy packing plant sees British

:08:08. > :08:10.Migration, good or bad? Bad.
:08:11. > :08:12.Why? There's too many of them.
:08:13. > :08:16.Do you think migration stops you and your friends getting jobs?
:08:17. > :08:21.Yes, I have seen that happen as well, like factory work,
:08:22. > :08:24.for example, you find a lot of migrants get the jobs easier,
:08:25. > :08:26.because they are willing to work for less.
:08:27. > :08:29.But because of migration? Or other things?
:08:30. > :08:34.Yes, because of other things as well but migration is a big problem.
:08:35. > :08:39.It feels like the issue of migration is at a crossroads.
:08:40. > :08:45.And the BBC's Reality Check team has been looking

:09:37. > :09:46.James? George, thanks very much. The clear
:09:47. > :09:50.weather has led to a recent surge in migrant journeys and rescues and
:09:51. > :09:53.migrant shipwrecks happen regularly. Normally, nobody witnesses them but
:09:54. > :09:58.this Italian rescue ship filmed one boat going down. Just a warning that
:09:59. > :10:03.you may find some of the images in this report distressing.
:10:04. > :10:08.Italy's Navy approaches the migrants' overcrowded boat. On deck,
:10:09. > :10:13.the migrants are desperate to see their rescuers. They crowd forwards,
:10:14. > :10:26.causing the boat to tilt. Then it capsizes. A handful find refuge on
:10:27. > :10:30.the overturned hull. Others have to swim to their lives. Many have no
:10:31. > :10:33.life jacket. They try to reach the rescue boats in front of them. The
:10:34. > :10:41.Navy has just minutes to save hundreds from drowning. The captain
:10:42. > :10:47.of the rescue ship orders his sailors to throw life jacket into
:10:48. > :10:52.the sea. Migrants swim towards them. The Navy dispatches a small rescue
:10:53. > :10:58.boat. Sailors drag this man from the sea. He is too exhausted to show any
:10:59. > :11:06.relief. More make it onto the overturned hull. Some managed to
:11:07. > :11:11.board life rafts. In the end, the Navy rescues almost everyone it
:11:12. > :11:17.finds. This afternoon, the rescue ship arrived here in Sicily. The
:11:18. > :11:21.survivors of the shipwreck are lucky to be alive. They will believe they
:11:22. > :11:26.owe their lives to the Italian rescuers who picked them from the
:11:27. > :11:32.sea and who have now brought them to dry land. The captain led the
:11:33. > :11:41.rescue. I asked him to describe what happened. We needed to throw into
:11:42. > :11:45.the water as much as we could, what ever was able to float, we sent into
:11:46. > :11:51.the water, so that people were able to catch it and grab it and stay
:11:52. > :11:57.alive. Italy will question the survivors further. Who, if anyone
:11:58. > :12:02.was steering the migrant boat? Might anyone still be missing? The
:12:03. > :12:07.country's Navy is still at work in the Mediterranean. These pictures,

:13:19. > :13:22.George, the idea of changing pensions of people who are already
:13:23. > :13:26.claiming his controversial, going from the higher retail to lower
:13:27. > :13:30.consumer prices index and said, we are told, up to ?2 billion but it
:13:31. > :13:34.would take a change in law. The whole idea is to lighten the load
:13:35. > :13:37.for any potential buyer, and maybe even after all of this process,
:13:38. > :13:39.enticed Tata Steel to stay in the UK but it could also have far reaching
:13:40. > :13:45.consequences. The government has given just four weeks the
:13:46. > :13:54.consultation to take place. One industry in crisis, two people whose
:13:55. > :13:59.livelihoods depend on it. Tony spent 44 years as a steelworker. Now he's
:14:00. > :14:03.a pensioner. You earned that when you are working, you paid into it
:14:04. > :14:07.and you deserve it. Jason is ebbing the Port Talbot plant can give him
:14:08. > :14:10.decades more employment. Those would be affected by today's proposed
:14:11. > :14:16.pension cut. Both are concerned about where it might lead. The job
:14:17. > :14:21.is first, it's the job we've got to look after. But as I've said, we're
:14:22. > :14:26.not about to jump in feet first and accept over the top cuts, which are
:14:27. > :14:29.too deep. This is going to make it more attractive to the buyers coming
:14:30. > :14:34.in but there's also got to be an element of fairness. It's OK to do
:14:35. > :14:37.it now, then ten years down the line, something else happens. Both
:14:38. > :14:41.belong to a pension scheme that dates back to the 1970s, when
:14:42. > :14:45.British Steel was one of our biggest employers. The name over the door
:14:46. > :14:51.has changed a few times by the British Steel pension plan rolls on.
:14:52. > :14:56.There are now 130,000 members, the vast majority no longer working in
:14:57. > :15:03.steel. At ?15 billion, the pension is worth more than all of Tata Steel
:15:04. > :15:07.UK but there's a deficit of ?485 million, with more money going out
:15:08. > :15:10.coming in. According to the government, that is putting off
:15:11. > :15:16.potential buyers, and endangering the jobs of 11,000 workers. We owe
:15:17. > :15:20.it to them, their families and their communities to do everything we can
:15:21. > :15:25.to secure the future of their industry. But what could it mean for
:15:26. > :15:29.other workers? We must also, Mr Speaker, ensure that it avoids
:15:30. > :15:32.setting a potentially dangerous precedent for the millions of other
:15:33. > :15:37.occupational pensioners who currently enjoy RPI indexation
:15:38. > :15:42.rights. The government insists the change would be unique to Tata but
:15:43. > :15:48.some in the industry are concerned it could signal a change for other
:15:49. > :15:52.defined benefit, or DBE, pensions. They need to be very gathered about
:15:53. > :15:55.not rushing in and not doing anything too hastily which could

:28:23. > :28:26.not such a great a risk of showers across the south-west. Greater risk
:28:27. > :28:31.of thundery showers in the far North West. They'll be fairly well
:28:32. > :28:35.scattered. Many places looking dry. Where it's cloudy only in the teens.
:28:36. > :28:39.For many of us the weekend looks half decent. There will be heavy
