:15:56. > :15:59.the social mobility commission applied the methods to Britain and
:16:00. > :16:03.on key measures, the results were a surprise. Parents helping their
:16:04. > :16:07.children with homework among graduate parents, the proportion has

:16:37. > :16:41.could expect 23 minutes a day of this kind of attention. Now, it is
:16:42. > :16:46.an average 80 minutes! Surprise! Surprise!

:21:26. > :21:28.continuing this week, the build-up to Euro 2016 has been
:21:29. > :21:31.a troubled one, but France 16 years ago a national team,
:21:32. > :21:40.symbolic of multiculturalism, won the World Cup and helped unify
:21:41. > :21:43.a nation riven by racial tension. The hope now that history
:21:44. > :21:46.can repeat itself. France actually is facing
:21:47. > :21:59.a little bit of problem, at the security level,
:22:00. > :22:02.at the level of economy, We need football to be there for us,
:22:03. > :22:07.to enjoy, to have hope and this Tonight, the first real test
:22:08. > :22:10.for the authorities 90,000 people expected at a concert marking
:22:11. > :22:13.the opening of the capital's fan park, proof that despite
:22:14. > :22:15.everything, the French public And with the referendum just two
:22:16. > :22:21.weeks away, many of you will still be making up
:22:22. > :22:25.your minds over how to vote. To try to help, some of our top
:22:26. > :22:27.Editors have been answering some of your questions
:22:28. > :22:34.about the upcoming vote. Harrison Taylor has asked
:22:35. > :22:36.would Britain still enjoy long-term economic growth,
:22:37. > :22:41.even if the country leaves the EU? Well, the short answer
:22:42. > :22:43.to that is probably yes. But I think it is the speed of that
:22:44. > :22:49.growth that is the important issue. A lot of major organisations have
:22:50. > :22:51.suggested there would be a short-term economic
:22:52. > :22:53.shock even a recession, if Britain were to leave the EU
:22:54. > :22:56.and over the longer term, But those that support Brexit argue
:22:57. > :23:01.that freed from the shackles of the European Union,
:23:02. > :23:05.and with the ability to sign new trade deals with countries
:23:06. > :23:08.like America and China, Of course, the longer you look
:23:09. > :23:21.into the future the harder it is to make any judgements
:23:22. > :23:24.about the shape of the UK economy. Beverley from Oxford asks,
:23:25. > :23:29."Is it true that the Commons might vote to stay in,
:23:30. > :23:32.even if the public wants out?" Well, it's true that MPs
:23:33. > :23:44.would have to pass new laws It is true most MPs want to stay in.
:23:45. > :23:48.It has been suggested that some of them might group together and try to
:23:49. > :23:53.keep us in the single market, the giant trade area, but that would be
:23:54. > :23:57.pretty controversial and perhaps not very democratic and the Prime
:23:58. > :24:07.Minister has always been clear. A vote to leave means leave.
:24:08. > :24:10.Tony asks if the minimum wage is one of the main reasons that we get so
:24:11. > :24:14.many immigrants, well I think from the EU, certainly yes. While there
:24:15. > :24:17.are jobs here, people will look around Europe and we do have one of
:24:18. > :24:22.the highest levels of minimum wage and that, I think, is something of a
:24:23. > :24:26.draw. The Living Wage coming in now, rising to ?9 an hour by 2020, that's
:24:27. > :24:32.also likely to have a significant impact. That said, more than half
:24:33. > :24:35.the EU migrants coming to the UK are graduates and are likely to be
:24:36. > :24:44.largely unaffected by the minimum wage.
:24:45. > :24:48.Next question, is remain a vote for a European superstate and
:24:49. > :24:53.uncontrolled migration? Well, you know, there is an element of crystal
:24:54. > :24:56.ball gazing about the Remain and the Leave campaigns, but the freedom for
:24:57. > :25:01.European citizens to live and work across the block, it is a core EU
:25:02. > :25:05.principle and it won't change, but is Turkey about to join? Would its
:25:06. > :25:10.people free to move to the UK, no? It is light years away from meeting
:25:11. > :25:14.the required criteria. What of that federal superstate? Well, some
:25:15. > :25:19.politicians still dream of that, but they are few and far between. The
:25:20. > :25:22.people of Europe, the voters, have never been so Euro-sceptic. They
:25:23. > :25:33.want more power for national parliaments, not Brussels.
:25:34. > :25:36.Anna from York wants to know what would happen to the price of food?
:25:37. > :25:40.Well, Europe protects its farmers and puts tariffs on food coming in
:25:41. > :25:45.from outside like this piece of New Zealand lamb. If we went outside the
:25:46. > :25:49.EU, we could import as much as we like. Good for consumers, but not
:25:50. > :25:56.good for British farmers. We couldn't stop the EU putting tariffs
:25:57. > :25:59.on our food exports. Others could go down and others go up. Like
:26:00. > :26:01.everything in trade, it is a trade-off.
:26:02. > :26:06.Our editors have been answering your questions throughout the day.
:26:07. > :26:08.You can find special coverage of that on our website:
:26:09. > :26:20.Hello. Some weather changes. Today, Here's Darren Bett.
:26:21. > :26:24.Hello. Some weather changes. Today, was a lovely sunny day for most of
:26:25. > :26:29.us. Temperatures 23 Celsius, 24 Celsius in light winds. That was the
:26:30. > :26:33.picture in Lincolnshire. We saw a few showers today. You could see
:26:34. > :26:37.them earlier on from the Wirral as well. Most of the showers, mid-North
:26:38. > :26:41.Wales, Northern England and one or two in Scotland. They will continue
:26:42. > :26:44.through the evening. Some could continue through the night. There is
:26:45. > :26:47.more cloud coming in from the Atlantic to give us a shower or two
:26:48. > :26:51.for Northern Ireland. A bit of rain in the far south-west of England. A
:26:52. > :26:55.warm and muggy night once again. A few mist and fog patches that will
:26:56. > :26:59.soon go tomorrow. Tomorrow looks different. There will be more cloud
:27:00. > :27:02.around for a start and there will be more showers. The showers developing
:27:03. > :27:06.more widely across the northern half of the UK as we run through the
:27:07. > :27:09.afternoon. So for Northern Ireland, and for Scotland, with more cloud,
:27:10. > :27:13.and more showers, some of which could be heavy, it will be cooler
:27:14. > :27:17.than today, particularly noticeable, I think, in Glasgow where we enjoyed
:27:18. > :27:20.a lot of sunshine today. It will be turning cooler as the showers become
:27:21. > :27:24.more widespread across Northern England. Fewer showers perhaps for
:27:25. > :27:28.Wales, rain in the far south-west, but through the Midlands towards the
:27:29. > :27:31.South East, it may stay dry during the day. Hazy sunshine, a lot of
:27:32. > :27:35.high cloud, but feeling quite warm too. Into the weekend though and
:27:36. > :27:39.very unsettled weather really. Not a wash-out by any means. There will be
:27:40. > :27:43.sunshine and rain at times, but it will feel a touch cooler as well. I
:27:44. > :27:46.think Saturday looks like it will be cloudy and damp across much of
:27:47. > :27:49.Scotland. Better on Sunday. Elsewhere, some sunshine and
:27:50. > :27:56.showers, but turning a little cooler during Sunday.
:27:57. > :27:59.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
