:01:50. > :01:51.away from respected. Today Barack Obama visited the Globe Theatre on

:01:52. > :01:57.the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare. Then it was on to

:01:58. > :02:03.meet the future great writers and leaders, a Town Hall meeting 500

:02:04. > :02:05.people and a sprinkling of stardust in Westminster. His tone at the

:02:06. > :02:07.start was light. I guess you all know

:02:08. > :02:09.why I came this week. Nothing was going to stop

:02:10. > :02:12.me from wishing happy And meeting George,

:02:13. > :02:35.who was adorable. Then he wanted the conversation with

:02:36. > :02:41.these young people, to make them feel everything was possible. When I

:02:42. > :02:45.speak to young people I implore them and I implore you to reject those

:02:46. > :02:51.calls to pull back. I'm here to ask you to reject the notion that we are

:02:52. > :02:56.gripped by forces we cannot control. I want you to take a longer and more

:02:57. > :03:00.optimistic view of history and the part you can play in it. He lauded

:03:01. > :03:03.the EU for the role it played in maintaining peace in Europe and that

:03:04. > :03:10.was as close as he got to the Brexit argument.

:03:11. > :03:12.Then a stream of questions which the President with his jacket off and

:03:13. > :03:23.sleeves rolled up, spent a good chunk of time answering. When your

:03:24. > :03:29.successor comes to you and she says... This has been an

:03:30. > :03:31.extraordinary event. The president took random questions from young

:03:32. > :03:36.people here in London and his message is up to eat. He seems to be

:03:37. > :03:40.saying there has never been a better time to be alive are no but cannot

:03:41. > :03:48.be solved without Caman and and hard work. Seven years in, he still

:03:49. > :03:52.believes in yes, we can. Then he went with David Cameron to play a

:03:53. > :03:56.game that is so often no, I cannot, the infuriating sport of golf, a

:03:57. > :03:59.strong passion of the President. After yesterday it make it gracious

:04:00. > :04:01.for David Cameron to that Barack Obama win.

:04:02. > :04:04.Jon, much is talked about Presidential legacies,

:04:05. > :04:08.but what will be the legacy of this visit?

:04:09. > :04:17.I think if you live in the United States of America the legacy will be

:04:18. > :04:22.the pictures of Prince George, the Duke of Edinburgh driving the couple

:04:23. > :04:26.on the Windsor estate, lunch with a clean the day after her 90th

:04:27. > :04:29.birthday and very much that kind of rather joyous kind of occasion that

:04:30. > :04:34.it has been between the President and first Lady from a republic and

:04:35. > :04:39.the ruling monarch of the United Kingdom. On the political front it

:04:40. > :04:43.is going to be undoubtedly the very firm, direct intervention in the

:04:44. > :04:49.Brexit debate which the White House calculated would be justified and

:04:50. > :04:53.was worth doing. At which has proved to be very divisive indeed. You

:04:54. > :05:00.speak to a lot of people today, ordinary people in central London

:05:01. > :05:03.asking what he thought he was doing telling people how to vote. He

:05:04. > :05:06.intervened in the debate and we do not know what the impact of that

:05:07. > :05:10.will be but the White House believe that the trip is gone well, they

:05:11. > :05:13.feel pleased he has come out and spoken directly to the British

:05:14. > :05:17.people and we will see the impact it has had in June.

:05:18. > :05:20.Junior doctors will take unprecedented strike action this

:05:21. > :05:23.week which will see them withdraw emergency care - in their first full

:05:24. > :05:28.NHS England says over 100,000 outpatient appointments

:05:29. > :05:32.and 13,000 elective operations have already been

:05:33. > :05:34.postponed with further disruption expected.

:05:35. > :05:44.Junior doctors during the last strike.

:05:45. > :05:46.Next week will see an unprecedented escalation when their emergency

:05:47. > :05:50.care colleagues join them on picket lines.

:05:51. > :05:55.NHS England says all hospitals are ready to face the full walk-out.

:05:56. > :06:00.Plans are in place, it says, to keep patients safe.

:06:01. > :06:04.It is concerning to have doctors withdrawing urgent emergency care,

:06:05. > :06:09.nevertheless hospitals have put in place arrangements

:06:10. > :06:11.to make sure that A and E, maternity services, intensive care,

:06:12. > :06:15.all of those critical services will be maintained

:06:16. > :06:20.Nevertheless, the NHS is warning over the two days

:06:21. > :06:27.Almost 113,000 outpatient appointments have been postponed.

:06:28. > :06:31.And almost 13,000 scheduled operations.

:06:32. > :06:33.That is more than twice the number during previous walk-outs,

:06:34. > :06:38.though these figures cover the two weeks period around the strike days.

:06:39. > :06:41.The dispute is about new contracts, working hours, and pay.

:06:42. > :06:43.The doctors union, the British Medical Association,

:06:44. > :06:55.but believes the changes will be bad for patients in the long run.

:06:56. > :06:57.They are overworked, you can see it in their eyes

:06:58. > :07:02.I mean I'm in there quite a bit because I have to call an ambulance

:07:03. > :07:04.every time and they look tired, some of those guys.

:07:05. > :07:07.And what the government is doing to them I think is all wrong.

:07:08. > :07:10.Personally I think it is morally wrong that doctors should strike.

:07:11. > :07:15.And I do not see why they shouldn't work weekends and difficult times

:07:16. > :07:19.The BMA says it will return to negotiations if the government

:07:20. > :07:21.lifts its promise to impose these new contracts without an agreement.

:07:22. > :07:25.But with the Department of Health calling this action irresponsible

:07:26. > :07:32.and extreme, it looks like the two sides are as far apart as ever.

:07:33. > :07:34.Consultants, staff doctors and other health care workers will be drafted

:07:35. > :07:38.in to help keep emergency care services running.

:07:39. > :07:46.The NHS says it has done all it can to minimise the risks.

:08:10. > :08:15.Humberside police say the deaths are being treated as

:08:16. > :08:22.Officers were called to the property yesterday evening.

:08:23. > :08:27.The Liverpool player Mamadou Sakho is being investigated

:08:28. > :08:30.by the governing body of football in Europe, Uefa, after

:08:31. > :08:33.It's thought the France international tested

:08:34. > :08:38.positive for medication that helps to reduce fat.
