:06:12. > :06:15.fear among the in camp, as the debate grinds towards the end. So
:06:16. > :06:21.there has been a squeeze on to push the party's leader to speak loud and
:06:22. > :06:26.proud. We, the Labour Party, are overwhelmingly for staying in,
:06:27. > :06:29.because we believe the European Union has brought investment, jobs
:06:30. > :06:34.and protection of workers, consumers and the environment. But many Labour
:06:35. > :06:37.voters think that has also come with too much immigration, acknowledged
:06:38. > :06:42.more clearly than ever by Mr Corbyn today. But some communities can
:06:43. > :06:46.change dramatically and rapidly and that can be disconcerting for some
:06:47. > :06:51.people. That doesn't make all of them little Englanders, xenophobes
:06:52. > :06:54.or racists. One of your biggest supporters, the leader of the GMB,
:06:55. > :06:58.has told the BBC that Labour has failed to get its message across. I
:06:59. > :07:03.think the message has been very, very clear, that we are campaigning
:07:04. > :07:07.to defend and extend workers' rights and trade union rights in Britain as
:07:08. > :07:10.we would across Europe, working with others, and also pointing out that
:07:11. > :07:18.it is the British government does not economic austerity measures that
:07:19. > :07:25.have caused many of the problems. What is loud and clear at this
:07:26. > :07:28.Labour club in Preston, an overwhelming sense that this group
:07:29. > :07:34.at least want to take the chance of leaving. It is immigration, the
:07:35. > :07:40.number one priority is immigration. It is a small island, we are overrun
:07:41. > :07:46.by people. I am undecided, all of my family is voting out. It is about
:07:47. > :07:53.taking England back. They don't call us great Britain for nothing, do
:07:54. > :07:57.they? I'm with Boris. LAUGHTER And Labour's official campaign to
:07:58. > :08:03.stay in isn't always receiving, shall we say, the warmest of
:08:04. > :08:08.welcomes. Go back to London with all of you yuppie friends and your bank
:08:09. > :08:11.appends, we are Cornish fishermen. In Cornwall, it seemed there were
:08:12. > :08:17.more placards than members of the public turning out to listen. What
:08:18. > :08:20.we are about is to ensure that Cornwall continues to benefit from
:08:21. > :08:27.an incredible level of EU funding. One powerful union leader worries
:08:28. > :08:34.that the inside may lose because Labour dead villages their vote dump
:08:35. > :08:38.-- don't feel it is their fight. We have tens of thousands of GMB jobs
:08:39. > :08:42.directly reliant on Europe, and it leaves those jobs from rubble in the
:08:43. > :08:46.least and downright going down the toilet in the worst-case scenario.
:08:47. > :08:50.Only a clutch of Labour MPs believe we should leave the EU, but they
:08:51. > :08:54.claim they have the air of party supporters. They want to take
:08:55. > :08:57.control back to own country, and I'm afraid the leadership of the Labour
:08:58. > :09:02.Party is very much out of touch with the rank and file Labour supporter.
:09:03. > :09:08.Jeremy Corbyn's promise in the next few week, days will become more
:09:09. > :09:14.intense, but what is striking listening to him today is the listed
:09:15. > :09:19.almost as many downsides as good sides at the union. He wants you to
:09:20. > :09:24.vote to stay in, but he is also pushing for a very different
:09:25. > :09:27.European Union. An ovation here, but to help keep Britain in the EU,
:09:28. > :09:29.Labour needs more than applause. Jeremy Corbyn wasn't the only
:09:30. > :09:32.person pressing the case The German chancellor Angela Merkel
:09:33. > :09:35.has also been expressing her hopes Let's speak to Laura
:09:36. > :09:48.who's at Westminster now. Rita, thanks very much. What voters
:09:49. > :09:51.are not suffering from right now is a shortage of politicians getting
:09:52. > :09:55.involved in this whole date. In the last 34 hours we have the Spanish
:09:56. > :09:59.leader, the Dutch leader, and now this afternoon Angela Merkel,
:10:00. > :10:03.arguably the most powerful politician in Europe saying a bit
:10:04. > :10:10.more diplomatically than this simply we would be crazy if we were to vote
:10:11. > :10:15.to leave the European Union. TRANSLATION: In my experience over
:10:16. > :10:18.the last few years, you will never get really good results in
:10:19. > :10:23.negotiations, particularly on very important issues, when you are not
:10:24. > :10:27.in the room and giving input to the decision. It is no great surprise
:10:28. > :10:30.that we have known that for a while, what matters is that she has chosen
:10:31. > :10:35.to intervene at a really sensitive time for the campaign. The actors
:10:36. > :10:41.show David Cameron is panicking and getting his mates from the EU
:10:42. > :10:45.involved, but it is also tricky for the out campaign, because she warned
:10:46. > :10:50.very directly that life for the economy outside the EU could be very
:10:51. > :10:52.chilly indeed. The out campaigners have consistently said common-sense
:10:53. > :10:57.dictates that we would be able to trade with our European partners,
:10:58. > :11:02.even outside the EU. What Angela Merkel did in that comment was for a
:11:03. > :11:06.cold bucket of Walker over that, and I think we can expect the remain
:11:07. > :11:07.side to remind voters of that again and again in the days to come.

:26:34. > :26:39.days. This picture is from Cornwall, absolutely stunning. Temperatures in
:26:40. > :26:43.western areas have been in the 20s, very warm in the West of Scotland as
:26:44. > :26:47.well. In the eastern half and closer to the North Sea coast, completely
:26:48. > :26:52.different story. Cloudy, cold, feels like November. At lunchtime in
:26:53. > :26:57.London, temperatures between 11 and 13 degrees. The sunshine in the

:27:36. > :27:41.Yorkshire and down into East Anglia and the London area as well, bits of
:27:42. > :27:45.drizzle. Through Saturday more sunshine, temperatures rising. We
:27:46. > :27:53.are going to see showers. Hit and miss when developing apart parts of
:27:54. > :27:58.Wales. Looking better on Sunday for many of us. More clear blue skies,
:27:59. > :28:02.temperatures recovering. North Sea coasts, with wind coming in from the
:28:03. > :28:07.chilly North Sea, it will feel cold in Newcastle down into East Anglia.
:28:08. > :28:11.Here's a hint from next week. These winds coming from the south, you

:28:18. > :28:30.thunderstorms. BHS is to close with the likely loss
:28:31. > :28:35.of 11,000 jobs. That's all from all of us on the team at the BBC News at
