US President Barack Obama has urged Britain to stay in the European Union, on a visit to the UK.

He says he encourages the British people 'as a friend' to vote for EU membership as a way of strengthening the Transatlantic Relationship as well as the fight against terrorism.

It comes ahead of an in-out referendum on Britain's EU membership in June.

The President insisted the UK would find it difficult if it left the EU and tried to negotiate its own trade deals with the US.

UN urges countries to act on climate change

A record number of countries are signing the climate change agreement

Over 170 nations are inking the deal - the largest number to sign an
international treaty in a single day.

But those countries will then need to ratify the agreement, a process
