:00:24. > :00:29.I believe the choice is between being an even greater

:00:42. > :00:45.And Ukraine makes a surprise choice for its representative
:00:46. > :01:04.Russia and the United States have agreed the terms of a temporary
:01:05. > :01:07.cessation of hostilities in Syria, which is now due to come into force
:01:08. > :01:19.President Putin says that the agreement is a real step to stop the
:01:20. > :01:21.bloodshed. The plan - which is deliberately not
:01:22. > :01:24.being described as a ceasefire - was agreed in Munich
:01:25. > :01:26.earlier this month. But Russia and the US have been
:01:27. > :01:28.quibbling over terms of the agreement
:01:29. > :01:30.including the start date. The truce does not include attacks
:01:31. > :01:41.on the so-called Islamic State group The White House spokesman Josh
:01:42. > :01:45.Ernest had this to say a while ago. Everyone can see what has been
:01:46. > :01:50.committed to. It is time for the signatories to step up and for the
:01:51. > :01:57.bloodshed to come to an end. I would be quite surprised if this is... If
:01:58. > :02:03.there aren't some bumps along the road as we try to implement this
:02:04. > :02:07.agreement. There will be obstacles. There will likely be setbacks but
:02:08. > :02:12.this is a moment of opportunity and we are hopeful that all of the
:02:13. > :02:15.parties will capitalise on that. After all, the stakes are high.
:02:16. > :02:18.Our Washington correspondent Barbara Plett-Usher gave me more
:02:19. > :02:24.I've got the terms here as they are set out.
:02:25. > :02:26.They seem to have dealt with one of the big sticking points,
:02:27. > :02:29.which is who qualifies to take part in the
:02:30. > :02:35.Any group aside from Islamic state and the al-Nusra front
:02:36. > :02:38.who signs up to the terms will be accepted.
:02:39. > :02:42.They have to accept a UN facilitated political process,
:02:43. > :02:44.cease all attacks with weapons, refrain
:02:45. > :02:53.from trying to acquire territory, allow full humanitarian access
:02:54. > :02:56.to their areas and use proportionate force in self defence.
:02:57. > :02:59.Those groups have until midnight on Friday to indicate to the UN
:03:00. > :03:02.and Russia and the United States that
:03:03. > :03:09.The Syrian army, the forces are going to be held to the same
:03:10. > :03:12.terms and the Russians are stated as being the ones who will seek
:03:13. > :03:19.So there is something on paper, steps to follow
:03:20. > :03:22.through and there is a target date, the cessation of hostilities
:03:23. > :03:26.is supposed to come into effect at midnight on Saturday.
:03:27. > :03:31.Do we understand why there is this reluctance to call it a ceasefire?
:03:32. > :03:35.I think the attempts to stop the violence in Syria have been
:03:36. > :03:37.so unsuccessful that they want to make
:03:38. > :03:40.sure that they keep the bar low in terms
:03:41. > :03:46.I think what they want to highlight is
:03:47. > :03:50.they have specifics on how this is going to work.
:03:51. > :03:52.One of the big problems in Munich after they agreed
:03:53. > :04:02.on the cessation of hostilities is that the Russians
:04:03. > :04:05.would continue with the Syrian army bombing Aleppo and trying to take
:04:06. > :04:07.territory to the north, to the Turkish border.
:04:08. > :04:09.The cessation of hostilities wasn't going anywhere.
:04:10. > :04:12.Now it looks like there are mechanisms to deal with that.
:04:13. > :04:15.For example, the Russians and Americans
:04:16. > :04:18.in this statement say that they are going to have a communications
:04:19. > :04:23.hotline set up so that they can distinguish parties who are being
:04:24. > :04:32.There is some sort of tribunal or task force to complain
:04:33. > :04:37.to and also that they're going to set out the territory
:04:38. > :04:38.which is excluded from the cessation of
:04:39. > :04:44.The Islamic state territory so that they know which
:04:45. > :05:09.I'm joined by my colleague from BBC Arabic. How meaningful is this? The
:05:10. > :05:15.superpowers are involved in this and one of them is involved directly in
:05:16. > :05:19.the fighting. The pro-Assad forces on the ground will face any
:05:20. > :05:29.difficulties achieving advances on the ground. The main issue is the
:05:30. > :05:37.al-Nusra front, that is close to the Al-Qaeda ideology, it is still
:05:38. > :05:44.considered as a terrorist group. This truce has excluded the Islamic
:05:45. > :05:48.State and the al-Nusra front from the cessation of hostilities. That
:05:49. > :05:57.means that the Russians can carry on bombing these two groups. So there
:05:58. > :06:06.has always been disagreement about who these groups are? Other groups
:06:07. > :06:14.are considered, such as the free Syrian army. The bombing of al-Nusra
:06:15. > :06:21.front will mean a total collapse of the truce. So there is a risk of
:06:22. > :06:28.business as usual on the ground. There is an opposition meeting going
:06:29. > :06:33.on in Saudi at the moment. Has there been any reaction? We spoke to one
:06:34. > :06:37.of the leaders taking part and we asked him what he thought of this
:06:38. > :06:41.announcement? He said that the United States and the Russians have
:06:42. > :06:45.announced something and are responsible for it but we haven't
:06:46. > :06:51.reached any decision yet and are still debating it. They don't expect
:06:52. > :06:56.to reach a decision before tomorrow. The pro-Saudi opposition is meeting
:06:57. > :07:02.in Riyadh tomorrow and they will meet their decision then. There are
:07:03. > :07:09.some improvements on the ground. Thereafter some humanitarian
:07:10. > :07:13.gestures that were welcomed by the opposition as a strong and solid
:07:14. > :07:19.basis for diplomatic efforts that may take place in the future within
:07:20. > :07:26.this Geneva talks. People have been watching what is happening in Syria
:07:27. > :07:33.with despair and will wonder what will change at midnight on Friday.
:07:34. > :07:37.In the next 48 hours we will hear more positions from the opposition
:07:38. > :07:40.at least. We will put these questions to all parties who are
:07:41. > :07:51.involved in the fighting and know what they consider al-Nusra. If each
:07:52. > :07:56.come with a final answer of how it is going to work on the ground, to
:07:57. > :08:01.exclude al-Nusra from the cessation of hostilities, how it's going to
:08:02. > :08:07.work, then it is going to be clearer. They are discussing this at
:08:08. > :08:08.the moment and we will know more in the next 48 hours. Thank you very
:08:09. > :08:12.much. The British prime minister has made
:08:13. > :08:15.an impassioned case for staying in the EU to a packed House
:08:16. > :08:17.of Commons in Westminister. David Cameron said he believed
:08:18. > :08:20.the choice was between being an even greater Britain inside a reformed EU
:08:21. > :08:23.or taking a leap into the dark. The Labour leader dismissed
:08:24. > :08:26.as "irrelevant" the deal struck by Mr Cameron in Europe
:08:27. > :08:28.but said Labour is overwhelmingly for remaining within
:08:29. > :08:31.the European Union. He was in the unusual position
:08:32. > :08:34.of needing not to persuade MPs on the opposition benches
:08:35. > :08:37.but many on his own side. So far more than 100
:08:38. > :08:39.Conservative MPs have said Our Political Editor Laura
:08:40. > :08:45.Kuenssberg watched the exchanges. Wherever he goes,
:08:46. > :08:50.chaos often follows. Boris Johnson revealed he wants to
:08:51. > :08:57.leave the European Union yesterday. Although the Prime Minister
:08:58. > :09:01.had tried to persuade him to join his side
:09:02. > :09:04.and campaign to stay. Is his decision
:09:05. > :09:12.about Britain's future? Are you losing the
:09:13. > :09:21.argument over the EU? It was David Cameron's job
:09:22. > :09:26.to set out the case to stay. And a test of how many of his own
:09:27. > :09:30.MPs back what he claims will be We are a great country
:09:31. > :09:38.and whatever choice we make, I believe the choice
:09:39. > :09:46.is between being an even greater Britain inside a reformed EU,
:09:47. > :09:49.or a great leap into the unknown. The Prime Minister seemed just
:09:50. > :09:53.as passionate about needling Boris Johnson, suspecting
:09:54. > :09:55.the London Mayor's decision is about ambition to take
:09:56. > :09:58.the Prime Minister's job. I have no other agenda
:09:59. > :10:07.than what is best for our country. I am standing here
:10:08. > :10:11.telling you what I think. My responsibility as Prime Minister
:10:12. > :10:13.is to speak plainly about what I believe
:10:14. > :10:23.is right for our country and that is what I will do
:10:24. > :10:26.for the next four months. The referendum is not just about two
:10:27. > :10:28.men, allegedly friends, May I ask my right honourable
:10:29. > :10:36.friend, the Prime Minister, to explain to the House
:10:37. > :10:40.and to the country in exactly what way this deal return
:10:41. > :10:47.sovereignty over any field of lawmaking to these
:10:48. > :10:52.Houses of Parliament? Seven ministers who sit
:10:53. > :10:55.at the Cabinet table are at odds Only one of them put himself
:10:56. > :11:01.in the front line today. But Tory backbenchers are split
:11:02. > :11:05.and would not shy of speaking out. For so much labour he has achieved
:11:06. > :11:08.so little that the European Union The security of Europe is dependent
:11:09. > :11:18.on Nato and not the EU. Those who advocate a no vote do not
:11:19. > :11:23.seem to know what a no vote means. Those who want to leave Europe
:11:24. > :11:27.are unable to agree on the terms Number 10 is not just trying to keep
:11:28. > :11:39.us in the EU but to keep This is the back entrance
:11:40. > :11:42.to Downing Street. On Saturday when the Cabinet met
:11:43. > :11:45.Eurosceptic ministers did not leave through the front door
:11:46. > :11:48.but snuck out instead. Now Tory divisions are
:11:49. > :11:52.in the wide open now. David Cameron hopes
:11:53. > :11:55.it can stay polite. Some of David Cameron's loudest
:11:56. > :12:04.cheers came from the Labour side. They will criticise him,
:12:05. > :12:09.but support staying in the EU. Labour believes the EU is a vital
:12:10. > :12:12.framework for European trade A vote to remain is in the interests
:12:13. > :12:20.of people not only on what the EU delivers today but as a framework
:12:21. > :12:23.through which we can achieve more I want Scotland and the rest
:12:24. > :12:29.of the UK to remain However, if we are forced out,
:12:30. > :12:36.I am certain the public in Scotland will demand a referendum
:12:37. > :12:39.on Scottish independence and we will protect
:12:40. > :12:45.our place in Europe. And the importance of this debate
:12:46. > :12:47.brought out old faces. Does he believe we have more
:12:48. > :12:54.influence in the EU or outside? Surely the answer is more
:12:55. > :12:58.influence inside the EU. This referendum is about the future
:12:59. > :13:03.of our country, not the future The six of us who stand here today
:13:04. > :13:11.are committed to campaigning They seem to shy to speak
:13:12. > :13:16.in the Commons today but you will hear plenty from these
:13:17. > :13:19.ministers who want to defy Their voices will influence
:13:20. > :13:27.the campaign for and against the EU, but it is yours that
:13:28. > :13:32.will really count. Britain would be more vulnerable
:13:33. > :13:36.to terror attacks and counter terrorism would be harder if the UK
:13:37. > :13:40.leaves the European Union. That's the warning today
:13:41. > :13:42.from director of Europe's But many campaigning for an exit say
:13:43. > :13:47.it's "laughable" to suggest Europe Our security correspondent
:13:48. > :13:53.Frank Gardner takes a closer look. Britain is a top
:13:54. > :13:57.target for terrorists. But in recent years it has stopped
:13:58. > :14:01.a large number of attacks on plots A key question now is whether that
:14:02. > :14:11.would change of Britain left the EU. Britain's border already differs
:14:12. > :14:13.from its neighbours. That is partly because we are
:14:14. > :14:17.an island and partly because we do not belong to
:14:18. > :14:28.Europe's Schengen borderless zone. That it means it's harder if not
:14:29. > :14:31.impossible to smuggle guns We do not have an open border
:14:32. > :14:37.with the EU, we are out You have to have a passport or visa
:14:38. > :14:41.to get into Britain and you have to be checked
:14:42. > :14:44.when you come into Britain. We do not have a right to stop
:14:45. > :14:52.people entering from other countries within the EU and if we to control
:14:53. > :14:56.numbers coming in it is difficult to do that unless we take
:14:57. > :14:59.back control of borders. The Paris attacks were a shocking
:15:00. > :15:03.reminder of what could happen here. So-called Islamic State already has
:15:04. > :15:11.sympathisers in this country. European intelligence
:15:12. > :15:14.failed last year. Britain's intelligence
:15:15. > :15:20.agencies like MI6 behind me, have their closest relationships not
:15:21. > :15:30.with Europe that the United States. They do share information
:15:31. > :15:33.and tip-offs with their European partners but tend to do it
:15:34. > :15:36.bilaterally, on a country by country basis and not through
:15:37. > :15:38.an EU wide mechanism. In many European countries,
:15:39. > :15:40.especially Belgium, the intelligence agencies are often reluctant
:15:41. > :15:42.to share what they know The head of Europol insists European
:15:43. > :15:51.intelligence helps Britain. UK gets considerable
:15:52. > :15:54.benefit every day. Thousands of cases I see
:15:55. > :15:58.at Europol every year, British police are given operational
:15:59. > :16:01.benefits and to target criminals and terrorists seeking
:16:02. > :16:05.to penetrate the UK. With diplomacy, the EU plays a big
:16:06. > :16:12.role in collective security. It has imposed sanctions
:16:13. > :16:24.on the resurgent Russia. But some say leave deterrence
:16:25. > :16:26.to Nato and not the EU. Remember Nato brings in the US
:16:27. > :16:29.and Canada and crucially in Europe, Norway and Turkey, not members
:16:30. > :16:36.of the European Union. The Nato population is 900
:16:37. > :16:38.hundred million, compared There are arguments on both sides
:16:39. > :16:44.but the truth is Britain's existing security arrangements are likely
:16:45. > :16:46.to remain unchanged if we stay Ten million people in the Indian
:16:47. > :16:54.capital Delhi are now without water, Protesters demanding job guarantees
:16:55. > :17:00.have sabotaged a key supply canal. The army has taken control
:17:01. > :17:03.of the waterway. But it will still take several days
:17:04. > :17:07.before the supply is fully restored because the canal
:17:08. > :17:10.needs to be repaired. For 10 million people in Delhi,
:17:11. > :17:16.this is how they now More than half of the population
:17:17. > :17:25.of Delhi now has no They depend on bottled water
:17:26. > :17:31.and the supply of water It is an extraordinary situation
:17:32. > :17:37.for any capital city to be in, and certainly a city
:17:38. > :17:42.on the scale of Delhi. And it has been caused by a battle
:17:43. > :17:48.over caste privilege. These people are part
:17:49. > :17:51.of an upper caste group. They have taken to the streets
:17:52. > :17:55.to demand it be reclassified as lower caste - that way
:17:56. > :17:59.they will get automatic rights The protestors badly damaged this
:18:00. > :18:06.canal, which supplies more than half The military has now taken control,
:18:07. > :18:12.but repairs are needed before That means millions in Delhi
:18:13. > :18:20.will have to continue to get There is no water.
:18:21. > :18:28.We are having no water. Myself, my two sons,

:20:40. > :20:43.container, or relocate to a migrant On the outskirts of the Jungle,
:20:44. > :21:02.a small village of containers. Mohammed moved his family of six
:21:03. > :21:05.here after five months The Jungle, this

:21:25. > :21:27.and his family still aim to join The whole camp will
:21:28. > :21:33.eventually be shut down. The southern half, where
:21:34. > :21:36.we are now, is to go first. This is the cultural and commercial
:21:37. > :21:39.heart of the Jungle. People come to stay warm
:21:40. > :21:41.and socialise in the restaurants Clear this area, it is not just
:21:42. > :21:51.dwellings, but it is a sense of community that is
