:05:03. > :05:05.more than 150 targets have been hit Syrian activists say it's
:05:06. > :05:11.the heaviest assault against IS in Palmyra,
:05:12. > :05:14.in a three-week offensive. Our Middle East Editor
:05:15. > :05:25.Sebastian Usher reports. This has been the heaviest
:05:26. > :05:29.day of fighting so far in the Syrian Government offensive
:05:30. > :05:32.to drive IS out of Palmyra. Tanks and armoured vehicles
:05:33. > :05:33.have been pounding Syrian state media is making
:05:34. > :05:37.the most of the advance, which has provided

:05:43. > :05:48.destroying the terrorists using large convoys and driving
:05:49. > :05:59.away from the city. The battle for Palmyra
:06:00. > :06:01.has been fierce, with heavy losses
:06:02. > :06:04.reported on both sides. The government has called
:06:05. > :06:07.on its elite troops and other militias, including
:06:08. > :06:13.most notably Hezbollah. Devastating firepower has been
:06:14. > :06:15.provided by Russian The Army has taken most

:06:22. > :06:23.castle that overlooks the spectacular
:06:24. > :06:25.ancient ruins that once drew tens of thousands
:06:26. > :06:29.of tourists each year. The loss of that priceless site

:06:33. > :06:34.in horror as the jihadists Syrian media suggesting
:06:35. > :06:42.that the capture of Palmyra being imminent, the country's
:06:43. > :06:44.head of antiquities has promised TRANSLATION: I felt the greatest joy
:06:45. > :06:52.in my time as head of antiquities when I heard the freedom of the city
:06:53. > :06:57.had become a reality. But the city of Palmyra,
:06:58. > :07:00.ancient and modern, Recapturing it would open up
:07:01. > :07:07.an important new front against IS in its Eastern Syrian
:07:08. > :07:10.stronghold of Raqqa. This could be a decisive moment
:07:11. > :07:13.in the war against IS. Dr Joshua Landis is the Director of
:07:14. > :07:34.the Centre for Middle East Studies Thank you for being with us. We
:07:35. > :07:37.heard there, the head of the Syrian antiquities promising to repair the
:07:38. > :07:45.damage done. But will that be possible? Much of the city, the old
:07:46. > :07:50.city, the antiquities, are still standing. Palmyra is a vast, vast
:07:51. > :07:58.Roman relic. Two of the most beautiful shrines have been blown to
:07:59. > :08:03.pieces. But still, there is an extraordinary set of ruins in
:08:04. > :08:06.Palmyra, so it will still be a grand sight, even if much has been
:08:07. > :08:10.destroyed, so the choicest pieces have been destroyed. But this is
:08:11. > :08:15.clearly a big day for Assad, to fight Isis, take back the biggest
:08:16. > :08:22.city he has taken back from any rebel group so far. And that is
:08:23. > :08:28.going to make his job a lot easier, to sell himself as the saviour of
:08:29. > :08:32.Syrian history, antiquities and in a sense, civilisation, against Isis.
:08:33. > :08:37.Given what happened in Brussels earlier this week, resident Assad
:08:38. > :08:43.looks like he is in a good position in saying that he is fighting the
:08:44. > :08:46.terrorists here. Well, he is fighting the terrorists, and this
:08:47. > :08:54.puts the United States in a very embarrassing position in some ways.
:08:55. > :09:00.Just yesterday, there were questions about whether it was good that Assad
:09:01. > :09:06.had taken back Myra. But in a sense, this does put the United States and
:09:07. > :09:11.Assad's army on the same side, and they are in a sense partners, trying
:09:12. > :09:17.to take back ISAs territory. Given that this book -- this operation is
:09:18. > :09:24.showing results, why is it that Assad was able to let the city go in
:09:25. > :09:28.the first place? He lost Palmyra and the same time as rebel groups were
:09:29. > :09:35.being honoured by the US and Great Britain and the West were taking --
:09:36. > :09:42.armed, taking towns like Idlib, he was being pushed in by Saudi Arabia,
:09:43. > :09:45.and other groups were arming the Southern command, so he was pinned
:09:46. > :09:49.down all over the place and I guess he thought that antiquities would
:09:50. > :09:53.have to be sacrificed in order to maintain big centres. Thank you very
:09:54. > :09:55.much. Greece has begun moving migrants
:09:56. > :09:57.from the camp on the Macedonian border, where more than
:09:58. > :09:59.11,000 people are living. Buses were used on Friday
:10:00. > :10:02.to transport about 400 people to new shelters elsewhere
:10:03. > :10:05.in the country. A deal has come into force,
:10:06. > :10:07.meaning many migrants entering Greece from Turkey
:10:08. > :10:09.will be sent back, and other countries further north
:10:10. > :10:11.in Europe have imposed severe
:10:12. > :10:30.restrictions to block migrants. Children still managed to play here.
:10:31. > :10:34.But conditions in this sprawling camp are grim. It has become a
:10:35. > :10:39.makeshift home to thousands of migrants who arrived from Turkey,
:10:40. > :10:43.hoping to move north through Europe. Greece wants to move people from
:10:44. > :10:48.here, to other camps and reception centres so it can process their
:10:49. > :10:52.claims for asylum. So far, buses have taken around 400 people, mostly
:10:53. > :10:56.women and children, from the camp. But many here are reluctant to go.
:10:57. > :11:06.And they do not know what will happen to them if they are moved. I
:11:07. > :11:14.think, here, some of it is good but even if we go to another camp, it is
:11:15. > :11:18.the same. But maybe, nearer the Borders. Last week, the deal came
:11:19. > :11:21.into force meaning migrants hoping to reach Germany and other Western
:11:22. > :11:26.European countries will be sent back unless they claim asylum in Greece.
:11:27. > :11:29.Countries to the north have put up fences along their border to try to
:11:30. > :11:38.stop people making the journey further into Europe. On the Greek
:11:39. > :11:43.island of Lesbos, protesters showed that anger at the detention of
:11:44. > :11:44.migrants under the New Deal, and aid agencies have warned reception
:11:45. > :11:49.centres are already well overcapacity. But Greece is
:11:50. > :11:53.determined to push ahead with the plan and says the operation to
:11:54. > :11:54.remove people from this camp will intensify from Monday. Jonathan

:16:04. > :16:04.Farzana Baduel, founder of the London based
:16:05. > :16:18.Thank you both for being with us. Farzana, if we come to you first,
:16:19. > :16:26.tell me why Hugh added your name to this list. I was concerned about the
:16:27. > :16:31.dynamic. -- why you added. London is a global city, Britain is a trading
:16:32. > :16:34.nation and my business takes me outside of Europe, my officers are
:16:35. > :16:41.in New York, Delhi and Dubai outside London. My issue was, what impact
:16:42. > :16:44.will this have in terms of talent? Instead of being able to hire
:16:45. > :16:48.someone from outside the UK, there is a greater priority being given to
:16:49. > :16:53.workers from the EU, so therefore, my talent pool is reduced. At the
:16:54. > :16:57.moment I am trying to bring in somebody from South Africa and some
:16:58. > :17:01.of the US and it is more difficult for me to get them to come and live
:17:02. > :17:04.and work with the UK -- in the UK with me than to hire someone from
:17:05. > :17:09.the former Soviet Union. The other aspect is the red tape issue. I run
:17:10. > :17:14.a small business and I do not have these streams of lawyers working for
:17:15. > :17:19.me and lobbyists going to Brussels and dealing with all of the European
:17:20. > :17:23.in directives, introducing the maximum 48 hours etc, I do not have
:17:24. > :17:27.time to keep up with the increasing bureaucracy coming out of Europe.
:17:28. > :17:32.All I need to do is focus my business, hire the best talent,
:17:33. > :17:37.whether it is in Russia or in the EU. I need to be free as an
:17:38. > :17:43.entrepreneur to choose my talent and be free from bureaucracy. Lucy,
:17:44. > :17:51.Farzana says the talent pool is reduced and there is lots of red
:17:52. > :17:55.tape involved being part of the EU. Well, I think she should take that
:17:56. > :17:58.up with the UK Government because they set the visa restrictions and
:17:59. > :18:04.any other limits on non-EU migration. And actually, leaving the
:18:05. > :18:08.EU would do nothing to change that. There are those on her side of the
:18:09. > :18:12.argument who would want to retain free movement of people and
:18:13. > :18:16.actually, in order to continue to access the world's largest free
:18:17. > :18:21.trade single market, like we currently can, we would have to
:18:22. > :18:25.continue to take free movement of people from the rest of the EU so I
:18:26. > :18:30.am not sure how leaving would solve a problem. Secondly, on the red tape
:18:31. > :18:34.issue, again, if we were to continue to have that free access to the
:18:35. > :18:39.single market, like for example Norway and Switzerland do, who are
:18:40. > :18:44.not part of the EU but want to continue to trade, they accept the
:18:45. > :18:49.overwhelming majority of EU rules, but yet they have no say over them,
:18:50. > :18:52.so Britain would lose our seat at the table and would still have to
:18:53. > :18:58.accept those rules. Thinking specifically about employment rules,
:18:59. > :19:02.for example the working time directive, the UK as an opt out from
:19:03. > :19:06.that, so we are not bound by the working time directive. A number of
:19:07. > :19:13.the other employment rules which some businesses claim are too
:19:14. > :19:17.onerous, it is the UK Government which over and fermented them,
:19:18. > :19:22.so-called gold-plating, making it harder for businesses. So once again
:19:23. > :19:27.I think this question of leaving the EU solving some of these problems is
:19:28. > :19:31.something not true. OK, but going back to this list. These are not
:19:32. > :19:38.small figures, they are figures from the world of banking, sport, hotels.
:19:39. > :19:42.It is quite a credible list. What is striking is that every single one of
:19:43. > :19:46.them signed this in a personal capacity, they are not representing
:19:47. > :19:51.their business and the thousands of people employed. Unlike the list of
:19:52. > :20:00.businesses backing our campaign, released a few weeks ago, where it
:20:01. > :20:03.included a third of the FTSE 100 and not one FTSE 100 chief is included
:20:04. > :20:07.on this other list announced today. So there is a whole range of people
:20:08. > :20:12.and I do not doubt the credibility of Farzana and those who have
:20:13. > :20:15.signed, but I think the fact that people were not signing on behalf of
:20:16. > :20:20.their company, that there is no current serving FTSE 100 company,
:20:21. > :20:26.and indeed some of those who have signed at themselves that would have
:20:27. > :20:31.themselves talked about the huge uncertainty for the British economy.
:20:32. > :20:41.Farzana, what is your reaction to that? I would say first and
:20:42. > :20:44.foremost, if you look at immigration figures, the fact is that people
:20:45. > :20:48.from the EU are given preferential treatment of people from outside the
:20:49. > :20:53.EU, and there has been a recent clamp-down on people coming in from
:20:54. > :20:57.other countries. You may say that it has nothing to do with the European
:20:58. > :21:02.Union. From my perspective, I'm in the process of trying to bring in
:21:03. > :21:05.someone from the US and some from South Africa. I am unable to bring
:21:06. > :21:10.them in and my immigration lawyer told me it is because of all of the
:21:11. > :21:13.pressure coming in from the immigrants coming in from the
:21:14. > :21:21.European Union, and in order to ensure that the net migrants are
:21:22. > :21:25.meeting the political objectives of the current government, it is having
:21:26. > :21:30.a negative impact. That has a negative impact upon me, for I
:21:31. > :21:34.cannot hire according to talent, I have to hire according to the talent
:21:35. > :21:39.in the EU pool. Unfortunately, we will have to leave that there. Lucy
:21:40. > :21:43.and Farzana, thank you so much for being with us.
:21:44. > :21:45.And now, the sport. Some of the high profile
:21:46. > :21:47.teams looking forward to the European Championship
:21:48. > :21:49.in France later this year are beginning their preparations
:21:50. > :21:51.in earnest this weekend. None more so than
:21:52. > :21:54.the world champions. Germany are playing England
