Leave and Remain Clash in UK EU TV Debate

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Voters in the UK now have little time left to make up their minds in how to vote in the referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union. Leading figures on either side have been putting forward their arguments in the biggest live television debate of the campaign - in front of a 6000 strong audience at Wembley Arena in North London. The campaign and its outcome is being watched closely across Europe - with other EU member governments and of course the people of Europe taking a keen interest in the British decision. The BBC's Rob Young has travelled to the German capital, Berlin. We also hear from one of the so-called 'economists for Brexit', Roger Bootle of Capital Economics, who thinks Britain and its economy would perform a great deal better outside the European Union. He explains how Britain might fare in dealing with its former European partners if it votes to leave. Instragram - the photo-sharing app owned by Facebook - has announced it has got half a billion monthly users. The BBC's North American technology reporter Dave Lee caught up with Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom and asks him what is behind the popularity of the app, whose users include Pope Francis. Our two guests throughout the show - Madhavan Narayanan is in the Indian capital Delhi, a columnist and tech writer on the Hindustan Times, and Sally Herships, a reporter for our partners at the US public radio programme Marketplace, is in New York.
