This is BBC World News Today with me, Tim Willcox. | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
The Headlines: Obama's body blow to Britain's Brexit campaign? | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
Our focus is hidden negotiating with a big block of the European Union to | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
get it trade deal done and the UK would be in the back of the queue. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
The President and the Prime Minister give a combative defence of staying | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
in the EU and underline the special relationship between | :00:30. | :00:31. | |

We ask you to protect it, or we and all living things | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Also coming up: An autopsy is carried out on Prince, | :00:47. | :00:56. | |

From Stratford upon Avon to Moscow - from Yorick to Yuri. | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
We meet an unusually devoted Russian fan of William Shakespeare. | :01:04. | :01:23. | |
As the debate over Britain's membership of the EU continues | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
to build, everyone was waiting to hear where President Barack Obama | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
His response today was explosive, as he urged Britain | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
in forthright terms to stick with the European Union. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
On his final visit to Britain as President, | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
he and the First Lady, Michelle, had lunch | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Before Mr Obama held talks in Downing Street with David | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Mr Obama's intervention in the EU referendum debate has brought sharp | :01:52. | :02:04. | |
Here's our Deputy Political Editor, John Pienaar, whose report contains | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
When the president comes calling, he starts at the top. Touchdown at | :02:13. | :02:24. | |
Windsor Castle for a private visit to the Queen. The one place, one | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
person to whom Barack Obama to fares. He is here not just as a | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
courtesy on his farewell tour, but to have his say on Britain's place | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
in the world before her subjects decide. Which head of state will go | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
in front? The royal welcome was warm enough, warmer than those wanting | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
out of the EU were about to feel about Barack Obama, especially after | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
the business end of his visit, the President's next stop. In Downing | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Street his welcome lift even warmer, not just because President and Prime | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Minister are quite good friends, but because the biggest star in world | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
politics was here to help David Cameron in the fight of his life, | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
keeping Britain in the EU and in the process saving the David Cameron | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
premiership from a messy and unhappy end. Then they were on. President | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Obama took his chance and he wasn't holding back. I figured you might | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
want to hear from the President of the United States what I think the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
United States will do. On that matter, for example, I think it is | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
fair to say that maybe at some point down the line thermite be a UK- US | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
trade agreement but it is not going to | :03:45. | :05:03. | |
happen it I have never felt constrained in any way but the fact | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
that we are in the European Union. Even before the president said a | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
word you knew that something big was coming. Maybe a game changer. What a | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
show with is when Barack Obama comes to time. In the net is all about | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
international diplomacy, high step politics. Here it feels like a cried | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
at a rock concert. Everyone has come to get a last glimpse of a president | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
that is more popular than any politician here, even in their | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
dreams. But can he win minds as well has hearts -- as well as hearts. | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
Their opponents are upset. Boris Johnson even doubted whether the | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
president he called part Kenyan had Britain's interests at heart. I | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
think it is perverse that we are being urged by the United States to | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
embroil ourselves ever more deeply in the system where our laws, 60% of | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
them are now emanating from the EU, when the United States would not | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
dream of subjugating itself in any way to any other international | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
jurisdiction. Side-by-side, shoulder to shoulder, Barack Obama has done | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
his part in more. The fright for Britain's future still lies in the | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
balance and that will decide if what Barack Obama has given him today is | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
a prized trophy or just a consolation. | :06:34. | :06:54. | |
World leaders have gathered at the United Nations in New York | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
to sign the Paris Agreement to slow climate change. | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
The UN hopes a record turn-out on the first day of signing | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
will spur nations to ratify the deal, opening the way | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
for the treaty to come into force much earlier than expected. | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
Actor Leonardo Dicaprio, who is an active environmental | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
campaigner and a United Nations ambassador, addressed leaders. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
He reminded delegates that they're the "last best hope" for saving | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
I thank you all for everything you have done to lay the foundation | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
of a solution to this crisis, but after 21 years of debates | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
and conferences it is time to declare no more talk, | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
no more excuses, no more 10-year studies, no more allowing the fossil | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
fuel companies to manipulate and dictate the science and policies | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
This is the body that can do what is needed - all | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
You will either be lauded by future generations or vilified by them. | :07:35. | :07:50. | |
For more, our environment correspondent Matt McGrath joins | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
175 have signed it. Does that mean it will come into force much quicker | :07:53. | :08:06. | |
than fault? There were certain other targets that need to be met, and | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
the? Indeed. The idea initially was by getting it signed it would come | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
into force by 2020. That is no longer the case because a clerical | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
error in the drafting of the agreement in Paris means that | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
visitors gets ratified 55 countries it will come into force 30 days | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
later. There is a big rush on as countries realise that it comes into | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
force and they haven't ratified it they may be left outside the door. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
The United States and China, the United States in particular wants to | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
get it ratified by the because he wanted as a legacy of his presidency | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
and he doesn't want the potential Republican successor on picking his | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
work. The belief is that if they could get all the countries to | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
ratify rapidly could come a into force next year. More likely, 18 | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
months to two years. There is a drive from the record number of | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
countries to get it happening. There is momentum now. Are we any clearer | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
about the sanctions that will be imposed on countries if they don't | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
meet these agreements? Yes, the sanctions can be summed up pretty | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
quickly. There aren't any. The Paris agreement is a compromise between a | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
top-down goal, but every country has to put forward its own plan on how | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
to get there. The only stick that the United Nations has his public | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
shaming. They will review over the next five years what countries have | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
done. I think there would be a public list published of what | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
countries have said and what they have done. It is that sense that no | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
country wants to be left behind when it comes to not living up to their | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
promises, they believe that will work. So far it does seem to be | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
working. They got 195 to sign in Paris, a to come here and put ink on | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
paper today. At the moment, the idea of public shaming seems to be | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
working on getting countries to live up to doing what they say they are | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
going to do. Thank you. Officials in the American state | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
of Ohio say several people have been found dead at a home in Piketon, | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
south of Columbus. The Ohio Attorney General's Office | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
could not provide the number of dead or how they were killed, | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
but a spokesperson for the office said they were not aware of any | :10:24. | :10:26. | |

compromised by an unprecedented leak of personal data | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
from 55 million registered voters. Officials say the automated vote | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
will be conducted using a separate computer server from the one | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
that was hacked. A hacking group is thought to have | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
been responsible for posting Let's go back to our top story, | :11:12. | :11:35. | |
David Cameron and Barack Obama, and the comments made by President Obama | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
about the EU referendum in June. Vicki Young is in | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
Westminster for us. Where people taken aback by just how | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
explosive the comments from the president where? I think the nature | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
and the strength of what he said, first of all in an article in one of | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
the newspapers here, making it very clear where he stood in all of this, | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
and defending his right to make the intervention at all, saying what | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
happens to Britain on what happens in the European Union has | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
repercussions for Americans, especially when it comes to | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
prosperity. It is interesting that he has focus of much on the economic | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
argument, that is the argument being pushed I Downing Street and all of | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
those campaigning to stay in. All those documents stating how much a | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
British family would be better off by staying in the European Union. He | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
has taken one of the very strong arguments coming from the other | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
side, the people who want to leave, saying you are talking Britain down. | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
Of course Britain can stand on its own two feet, if we left the single | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
market and the European Union we can do deals, bilateral deals with other | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
countries. The American President has come out today and said, no, get | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
to the back of the queue. That is a significant moment. There is a | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
response from that. We have been hearing from Nigel Farage, the | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
leader of Ukip, and from Conservative government ministers on | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
the opposite side of the art market -- argument to David Cameron. They | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
have been rude about Barack Obama, calling him a lame duck president | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
and he is on the way out anyway. Thank you. | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
A post mortem to establish why the pop superstar | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
His sudden death at the age of 57 has shocked the world of music. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
He was found at his estate in Minneapolis, where hundreds | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
of people have gathered to pay their respects. | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
In Minneapolis, where a star was born and where he died, | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
they partied all night - remembering a local hero | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
Across the United States and beyond, one colour said it all. | :13:45. | :13:58. | |
Famous landmarks glowing in tribute and everywhere singing and dancing | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
in memory of an artist who redefined music. | :14:01. | :14:11. | |

For his friends, Prince's sudden, still unexplained | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
I think that he was far more daring and as much as people | :14:23. | :14:37. | |
about his personal life", it is not important. | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
You don't need to know everything about people, but most of all | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
you need to know what he wants to do and what he is doing | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
That is the most important thing, that he wore his sincerity | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
At Prince's Paisley Park home and studio, an investigation | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
It appears that the artist was already dead when he was found | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
Exactly how Prince died here is still unclear | :15:01. | :15:14. | |
and the County Coroner's Office has warned that it could be several | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
weeks before the results of toxicology tests are known. | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
There are questions, too, about Prince's legacy. | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
His output was prodigious, but there are also | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
There is a song called Moonbeam Levels. | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
I am so happy that this beautiful song is going on this record!" | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
The man himself called it simply "inspirational". | :15:41. | :15:58. | |
Diane Warren is a songwriter and joins us now from Los Angeles. | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
He was only five foot two, but the giant in terms of music. Did he just | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
have everything, when you thought about his talent? E plates are any | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
instruments and everything else. He had everything. It started with | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
great songs. The songs were spectacular. They were fresh, | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
inventive, invented lyrically, musically. What a huge loss for our | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
industry, and an industry that we can't afford to lose our great | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
artists. Echoes of Jimi Hendrix, James Brown as well. Where do you | :16:39. | :16:47. | |
see the various trends that he picked up on and then experimented | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
with? Prince could do anything. He could write nothing compares to you, | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
then kiss. He was brilliant in all genres of music. That is so rare. | :16:59. | :17:10. | |
Not only could he do funk and played guitar on a level, or close to the | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
level of Jimi Hendrix, but right so many... He wrote manic Monday for | :17:15. | :17:29. | |
the bangles, vented kiss. It is remarkable how many genres he could | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
not only working but on a genius level. Did you know him very well? | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
And met a couple of times. I didn't know him at all. I wrote a song last | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
year and they heard that it was one of his favourite songs. He did a | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
cover of it and nobody could find it and now somebody has just find it | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
and they heard of the first time yesterday. He made it his own. It is | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
of amazing. It is nothing like the song I wrote, but it is such an | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
honour to hear that. But I never met him. I met him, but I didn't know | :18:12. | :18:21. | |
him. Stevie wonder talked about his sincerity and that was what came | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
through as an artist. Do you go along with that? I love that. He was | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
a real artist. He cared about his art, his creativity, his work. That | :18:31. | :18:40. | |
is all that mattered to him. As an observer, that is what you could | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
tell, that is what shines through. Thank you very much for joining us | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
Thank you very much for joining us on the programme. | :18:51. | :18:53. | |

There we take a look at his life in pictures, | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
you can see some of the many tributes from his fans and we talk | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
to the BBC's obituaries expert who tells us that, yes, | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
the number of celebrity deaths this year so far really | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
It's exactly one month since 32 people were killed | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Others are still being treated in hospital for serious injuries. | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
The city's economy has also been hit hard, with many tourists | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
Brussels Airport is only open for a limited number of flights, | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
and much of the transport network remains closed. | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
Our Europe reporter Gavin Lee has been looking at how the Belgian | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
capital has been affected by what happened on 22nd March. | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
This square is probably the most beautiful square in the world. | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
On a Brussels to, keep it calm and carrying on in the city a month on | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
from the attacks. carrying on in the city a month on | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
from the With noticeably fewer people that you were usual | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
attractions all quiet, many businesses are feeling the effects. | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
We are working as hard as ever. We're here twice a day, every day, | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
even if there are no people around. We tried to show that we're ready to | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
go back to normal. Officials here that -- say that Brussels is as safe | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
as any other European capital and you should not be afraid to come | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
here and the site of soldiers on the streets should be reassuring, but it | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
also feeds into the fear that terrorism, the fear of it, has not | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
diminished since the attacks on the go. Just out from central muscles is | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
the night notorious district of Molenbeek, where many of the | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
attackers had connections. For weeks on it is the centre of attention for | :20:41. | :20:50. | |
the Brussels police. I see much more police officers walking around on | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
foot. It is not that aggressive any more. It is much more talking to the | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
people. Even two minutes ago there were two officers just walking | :21:01. | :21:09. | |
around in the market without the big guns. That is what we need. 32 | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
people were killed in the bustle attacks, more than 50 are still | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
being treated in hospital. Sebastien was photographed after the blast at | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
Brussels airport, a photo that has become one of the iconic images. I | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
got my boarding pass. As I turned the corner to go towards the gate, I | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
heard of those -- heard the first explosion by me. A few seconds later | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
that is when the explosion went off. That is the one that got me. It has | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
been for weeks. How worried you recovering? Good. I have had four | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
surgeries so far and every of them has been successful and one of them | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
leads to the next step. But the final out, is that I get to keep | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
both my legs, I get to walk again, I am alive. Much better off than I | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
William Shakespeare died 400 years ago this Saturday, | :22:13. | :22:28. | |
but his works endure and have been translated into many | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
Our Moscow correspondent has met a very special Shakespeare fan and, | :22:32. | :22:35. | |

Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?" | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
Yuri lives around a two-hour drive north-east of Moscow and he has | :22:47. | :23:12. | |
built himself this underground home where he lives with all his books - | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
as you can see, he has a whole library stacked up | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
One of Yuri's favourite writers is William Shakespeare. | :23:21. | :23:39. | |
You have registered all of these books in a big global | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
And you send them around the world to other people to read. | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
I think Shakespeare maybe would have created a play about this! | :23:47. | :23:59. | |
"Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn, | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
and bake; Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
Macbeth, Act IV, Scene I... sort of. | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
So, Yuri, why are you cutting these things down? | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
This is a stage for Hamlet, for Shakespeare, for the world. | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
Somebody play, somebody look on this play. | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
Your own private Shakespeare Theatre. | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
On every page of Shakespeare I see the stamp of culture. | :24:46. | :25:01. | |
Next the weather, but, for now from me and the rest | :25:02. | :25:49. |
