:00:15. > :00:18.Maybe at some point down the line, there might be a UK-US trade deal,

:00:19. > :00:20.but it's not going to happen any time soon,

:00:21. > :00:24.with the big block of the European Union to get

:00:25. > :00:28.And the UK is going to be in the back of the queue.

:00:29. > :00:30.Barack Obama gives the EU Referendum debate both barrels.

:00:31. > :00:32.In Downing Street today, standing shoulder to shoulder

:00:33. > :00:34.with David Cameron, he charmed but he also threatened.

:00:35. > :00:37.Could our trade with America suffer if we left the EU?

:00:38. > :00:41.I'll be asking the pro-Brexit former Defence Secretary, Liam Fox.

:00:42. > :00:44.Next week sees the first all-out strike by junior doctors in England

:00:45. > :00:47.since the founding of the NHS as part of an ongoing dispute over

:00:48. > :00:50.a new contract that's due to be imposed on them this summer.

:00:51. > :00:53.But, are the junior doctors as united as you might think?

:00:54. > :00:55.And the next stop on our Referendum Road:

:00:56. > :00:58.Katie Razzall heads to the most northern part of the UK -

:00:59. > :01:06.where they voted No to EEC membership in 1975.

:01:07. > :01:11.It did reinforce my belief that we didn't want anything to do with

:01:12. > :01:15.Europe, if that was what it was - no free speech and throwing people into

:01:16. > :01:17.cars. You have changed your mind? Totally, yes.

:01:18. > :01:24.On the eve of his 400th anniversary, we celebrate Shakespeare's

:01:25. > :01:26.continuing relevance by illustrating each of tonight's stories

:01:27. > :01:32.Let's purge this choler without letting blood:

:01:33. > :01:34.This we prescribe, though no physician;

:01:35. > :01:37.Deep malice makes too deep incision; Forget,

:01:38. > :01:53.Our doctors say this is no month to bleed.

:01:54. > :01:59.Turn him to any cause of policy,

:02:00. > :02:01.The Gordian knot of it he will unloose,

:02:02. > :02:05.that, when he speaks, The air,

:02:06. > :02:09.And the mute wonder lurketh in men's ears,

:02:10. > :02:18.To steal his sweet and honey'd sentences.

:02:19. > :02:21.Our house actor, Akiya, there, with tonight's first

:02:22. > :02:27.Barack Obama's honey'd sentences were heavily fortified today

:02:28. > :02:30.when he made an astonishingly full throated intervention into the EU

:02:31. > :02:37.He warned - as a friend, he said - that Britain would be at the back

:02:38. > :02:40.of the queue for a future trade deal if it left the EU -

:02:41. > :02:44.more of a threat than a friendly nudge?

:02:45. > :02:47.This is all rank hypocrisy say the Brexiters from a country

:02:48. > :02:48.with tightly closed borders and heavy restrictions

:02:49. > :02:59.But in a battle between the Remain and Leave

:03:00. > :03:02.campaigns that is increasingly centred on the economy, will this

:03:03. > :03:06.There have only been rumours about what she

:03:07. > :03:07.thinks about Brexit, but

:03:08. > :03:11.The Royal breakfast table may well have

:03:12. > :03:14.been graced by the President's views written in the precise prose of an

:03:15. > :03:18.After lunch with the Queen, conversation unrecorded, it

:03:19. > :03:22.was talks in Downing Street with the Prime Minister.

:03:23. > :03:25.As the vehicle they call The Beast attempted a 3-point

:03:26. > :03:29.turn, the President unleashed a multi-point beasting on the case

:03:30. > :03:43.The United States wants a strong United Kingdom as a partner, and

:03:44. > :03:45.the United Kingdom is at its best when it's helping to

:03:46. > :03:51.It leverages UK power to be part of the European Union.

:03:52. > :03:53.Where in the past some have doubted Mr Obama's

:03:54. > :03:56.affection for the UK, today he laid it on with a presidentially crested

:03:57. > :04:03.But lest we all start feeling all warm and fuzzy about our

:04:04. > :04:06.international BFF, the President warned us not to expect any special

:04:07. > :04:11.Some of the folks on the other side have been

:04:12. > :04:16.ascribing to the United States certain actions we'll take if the UK

:04:17. > :04:23.They say, for example, we will just cut our own trade

:04:24. > :04:29.So they are voicing an opinion about what the United States is going to

:04:30. > :04:31.do, and I figured you might want to hear

:04:32. > :04:33.it from the President of the

:04:34. > :04:36.United States what I think the United States is going to do.

:04:37. > :04:38.And on that matter, for example, I think

:04:39. > :04:43.it's fair to say that maybe at some point down

:04:44. > :04:49.UK-US trade agreement, but that isn't going to happen any time soon,

:04:50. > :04:53.because our focus is in negotiating with the big block of the European

:04:54. > :05:00.And the UK is going to be in the back of the queue.

:05:01. > :05:05.And who knows, perhaps they even helped write it.

:05:06. > :05:08.It was certainly very obliging of the president to

:05:09. > :05:21.use the British would 'queue' rather than the American world 'line'.

:05:22. > :05:27.use the British word 'queue' rather than the American word 'line'.

:05:28. > :05:34.We don't have a trade deal with the US at the moment and we have been in

:05:35. > :05:37.the European Union for 43 years. We have had difficulty in exporting

:05:38. > :05:45.some products such as beef to the US. The forget, the non-EU trade

:05:46. > :05:51.that we do, 73% of it doesn't involve any trade deal at all. --

:05:52. > :06:00.don't forget. We are trading globally, as we always used to.

:06:01. > :06:05.But what effect will it have on undecided voters?

:06:06. > :06:10.I felt it was a bit sugar-coated, because it came down to -- it wasn't

:06:11. > :06:19.sugar-coated, because it came down to the iniquity -- nitty-gritty of a

:06:20. > :06:22.trade deal. Having listened to none other than the president of the

:06:23. > :06:26.United States saying that in any kind of trade deal, the United

:06:27. > :06:31.Kingdom is going to be at the back of the queue, I take it seriously. I

:06:32. > :06:35.am still undecided. In some ways, it is good that he is saying what he

:06:36. > :06:42.is, but we could feel like we're being badgered. In many ways, he has

:06:43. > :06:45.probably done more to push me in a certain direction than David Cameron

:06:46. > :06:52.ever could audit in what he said today. We have a cool relationship,

:06:53. > :06:55.we are friends and so on. All of a sudden, if we leave, we are at the

:06:56. > :07:08.back of the queue and the friendship is gone. He said eventually... It is

:07:09. > :07:17.kind of like a veiled threat. It is put quite politely. We are as

:07:18. > :07:25.important -- we are not as important to America as they are to us. They

:07:26. > :07:30.will scrap deals with -- they favour deals with other countries over

:07:31. > :07:38.those with their friends. Who thought the president was right to

:07:39. > :07:43.give us his views? Who thinks that their decision on the 23rd of June

:07:44. > :07:53.will be influenced in one way or another by what you heard today? Who

:07:54. > :07:58.is more likely to vote to remain cos of what they heard today? So, the

:07:59. > :08:02.three people who say they were influenced, all three of you think

:08:03. > :08:09.towards remaining rather than leaving? Yes. There is a mixed

:08:10. > :08:12.reaction in terms of the impact and influence President Obama will have.

:08:13. > :08:17.People find it difficult to recognise what will influence their

:08:18. > :08:23.own vote. You have another important voice for many people, particularly

:08:24. > :08:28.those who might be wavering. It won't be that they will think in two

:08:29. > :08:35.months, what did Obama say? But it is one thing to reaffirm the story

:08:36. > :08:41.of stability and reinforce the idea partnership. This evening, President

:08:42. > :08:46.Obama went to dinner with the younger royals. One suspects that

:08:47. > :08:47.the Prime Minister was grinning too. Whether it will change things on

:08:48. > :08:53.polling day, that is another matter. Joining me now is the Eurosceptic

:08:54. > :08:56.former Defence Secretary, Liam Fox. From Chicago, we also

:08:57. > :09:06.have the former US Ambassador First, you are close to Barack

:09:07. > :09:11.Obama. People are saying that he brought a gun to a knife fight and

:09:12. > :09:17.that American interests are at play, not British ones. First, let me say

:09:18. > :09:23.that Liam Fox is going to be on the programme, and he is a good friend

:09:24. > :09:27.and we work together. Obviously, we are agreeing to disagree. I don't

:09:28. > :09:33.think the president came with a gun to a knife fight, I think he was

:09:34. > :09:37.trying to say that he thought it was in the best interests of America and

:09:38. > :09:42.he believes it's the best interest in the UK that they remain in the

:09:43. > :09:48.EU. There are many reasons for this. You can list them, they go on. Every

:09:49. > :09:52.country, as the Prime Minister said, that we know of, including the

:09:53. > :09:56.Commonwealth, doesn't want them to leave. I don't know one country that

:09:57. > :10:01.thinks it's a great idea that they should leave. The president feels

:10:02. > :10:05.very strongly that the UK is our closest and best ally. We work

:10:06. > :10:11.together on everything puzzled when I was ambassador, if there was an

:10:12. > :10:17.issue, it was the first call. To have the UK not be at the table in

:10:18. > :10:21.the EU will be not good. Thank you. I will stick with you for a bit,

:10:22. > :10:25.Liam Fox, because I understand, first of all, that you were going to

:10:26. > :10:30.be the ringleader to get a letter together to stop Barack Obama's

:10:31. > :10:35.intervention. Did you think it was because it would be as powerful as

:10:36. > :10:39.this, right or wrong? We have a referendum at the end of June and

:10:40. > :10:43.the presidential election is in November, so whoever is at the helm

:10:44. > :10:49.in the United States, it won't be Barack Obama, so whatever he says

:10:50. > :10:53.today, it is irrelevant. The second thing is, why do we get trade

:10:54. > :10:57.agreements? We get them because it is to be mutual benefit of both

:10:58. > :11:06.parties. We have a roughly balanced trade. The US export of $57 billion

:11:07. > :11:13.worth of goods and services and we did the same to them. The United

:11:14. > :11:17.States has trade relationships with countries such as Australia, who are

:11:18. > :11:25.much trading -- smaller trading partners than we are.

:11:26. > :11:30.Is there a single major American figure who favours Brexit cosmic

:11:31. > :11:36.Marco Rubio, in The Times, said just that.

:11:37. > :11:41.There are people who demur from your position. Sticking with Liam Fox,

:11:42. > :11:45.you talked about the fact that there is an American election in November

:11:46. > :11:48.and that it won't be Barack Obama. Actually, the European bloc will

:11:49. > :11:53.still be the largest one for goods and services. It will be right,

:11:54. > :11:58.won't it, that it is more important for America to do a trade deal with

:11:59. > :12:03.500 million consumers rather than just with the UK. They don't just do

:12:04. > :12:07.one trade agreement at a time. They are capable of walking and chewing

:12:08. > :12:14.gum, as they say. They are able to do more than one agreement at a

:12:15. > :12:22.time. Let us point out the difficulties of TTIP, which is why

:12:23. > :12:29.it has so long to take -- White has taken so long to an agreement. It

:12:30. > :12:34.will be determined by American interest as much as ours.

:12:35. > :12:38.For your own career, Liam Fox, you have always looked to America for

:12:39. > :12:43.inspiration, and euro, Britain and the US trust one another because we

:12:44. > :12:49.look at the world the same way. Do you change your opinion now? I think

:12:50. > :12:54.we look at the world as being globalised. We need to take

:12:55. > :12:58.advantage of agility and flexibility in our international relations. We

:12:59. > :13:02.are built on the same values and the. My problem with the EU at the

:13:03. > :13:08.moment is that it is not a successful union, has mass youth

:13:09. > :13:11.unemployment, rising ethnic and international tensions, a growing

:13:12. > :13:22.rise of political extremism - that is my worry, that that is not

:13:23. > :13:28.reflecting what the UK stands for. Louis Sussman, the big accusation of

:13:29. > :13:33.American hypocrisy, Ebola saying you are one to talk about sharing

:13:34. > :13:39.borders and sovereignty. Let's be clear: The sovereignty issue has not

:13:40. > :13:48.been an issue with any other country that I have heard of in the EU. I

:13:49. > :13:55.worry deeply that the consequences of the UK leaving our immense. You

:13:56. > :14:03.have a situation where investors and business will be insecure. The Bank

:14:04. > :14:10.of England says that the pound sterling will suffer. We have a long

:14:11. > :14:14.timing period where, if it leaves, there are two years before you can

:14:15. > :14:19.get out. If you read the treaty, you will find out on the exit, the other

:14:20. > :14:20.people decide what the terms are, and you either have to accept them

:14:21. > :14:40.or turn it down. Let me ask Liam Fox something. We

:14:41. > :14:49.had Boris Johnson writing in the Sun today about Barack Obama being part

:14:50. > :14:55.Kenyan. Do you defend his language today? I defend his right to say

:14:56. > :15:01.anything he likes. And he will say it in his own style. In the debate

:15:02. > :15:04.we heard the Downing Street tune. The same tune from Francois

:15:05. > :15:08.Hollande, you are our best friend, we are weak if you go, but there

:15:09. > :15:12.will be dire consequences if you do. Today we had you are our best

:15:13. > :15:16.friend, we have a special relationship, and you will get a

:15:17. > :15:19.beating if you leave. It is the same Downing Street refrain. Exactly what

:15:20. > :15:28.I would have expected to hear and that is exactly what we did hear.

:15:29. > :15:30.Thank you both. Let's purge this choler

:15:31. > :15:32.without letting blood: This we prescribe,

:15:33. > :15:34.though no physician; Deep malice makes too

:15:35. > :15:35.deep incision; Forget, forgive; conclude and be agreed;

:15:36. > :15:37.Our doctors say this Well, there is a danger

:15:38. > :15:45.of malice entering There have been three

:15:46. > :15:49.partial strikes by junior doctors in England since January,

:15:50. > :15:52.and on Tuesday they will walk out of A units in the first of two

:15:53. > :15:55.planned days of total strikes in protest at the imposition

:15:56. > :15:58.of a new contract in the summer. However leaked emails suggest that

:15:59. > :16:00.future action over the contract One email from a member of the BMA

:16:01. > :16:06.junior doctors' committee reads, "Maybe if it gets really

:16:07. > :16:08.bad, all the juniors But how much support

:16:09. > :16:13.is there for an all-out strike? I'm joined now by two junior

:16:14. > :16:15.doctors - Chris Kane, who works in palliative

:16:16. > :16:17.medicine in West Yorkshire, and Roshana Mehdian,

:16:18. > :16:28.who works in trauma We should also say that junior

:16:29. > :16:33.doctors, all the way up to consultant grades. You are a

:16:34. > :16:43.registrar, and you too. How far are you prepared to go? In the big

:16:44. > :16:47.picture? Yes. As far as we need to go to ensure that the contract which

:16:48. > :16:53.comes in for us is safe for us and our patients. Unfortunately we are

:16:54. > :16:56.not being listened to. Jeremy Hunt and the Department of Health don't

:16:57. > :17:00.really want to listen to reason so we are forced to take action like

:17:01. > :17:08.this which is unprecedented, as you say. It is. We know that consultants

:17:09. > :17:12.will cover on Tuesday. Will you actually want to take a member of

:17:13. > :17:17.your family into hospital on Tuesday? I wouldn't have a problem

:17:18. > :17:23.with that. The important point is to contextualise this. The best way I

:17:24. > :17:29.can describe it is my own situation. In my department, on a bank holiday

:17:30. > :17:33.come on a weekend, there would be three, four doctors covering

:17:34. > :17:36.emergency care. In the strike there will be ten consultants covering

:17:37. > :17:41.emergency care. That is twice as many doctors and the most highly

:17:42. > :17:46.trained doctors. Are you comfortable with this approach? From the

:17:47. > :17:59.argument she is making about safety, then yes, AMD -- A departments

:18:00. > :18:03.will be covered. But at what cost? To provide the cover they have had

:18:04. > :18:09.to cancel clinics and operations. Some of those clinics will be

:18:10. > :18:12.routine and can wait. But some are chemotherapy clinics. Patients are

:18:13. > :18:18.seeing if they are ready to get their next dose of chemotherapy. For

:18:19. > :18:22.me, I'm not sure I can justify taking away my labour so consultants

:18:23. > :18:29.have to come away from dealing with those situations. What would the

:18:30. > :18:34.impact of this be on the debate? I think very clearly Jeremy Hunt has

:18:35. > :18:38.tried very hard to paint the BMA as left wing, militant, and hardline.

:18:39. > :18:42.To some extent this plays into his narrative that we are unreasonable,

:18:43. > :18:47.that we are not listening, that we are not talking, when actually we

:18:48. > :18:50.are very breezy little people. All of us go into medicine because we

:18:51. > :18:59.like our patients and we want to care for people. -- reasonable

:19:00. > :19:05.people. Going on all of that strike really feeds into Jeremy Hunt's

:19:06. > :19:11.narrative that we are not reasonable. It isn't all junior

:19:12. > :19:17.doctors who want to take the line of going on an unprecedented strike.

:19:18. > :19:21.Other doctors have different views. There is a difference in assessment

:19:22. > :19:28.of the situation. Chris is looking at it from the point of view of

:19:29. > :19:37.palliative care. You see patients who have regular care. But you know

:19:38. > :19:40.each other's jobs. Absolutely. Chris is saying that the BMA will come out

:19:41. > :19:48.of this badly either way because it plays into come he would say, Jeremy

:19:49. > :19:57.Hunt's hands because you might be withholding care from people. Sure.

:19:58. > :20:01.I would like to say that I have actually seen a press release from

:20:02. > :20:07.NHS England which will come out on Monday. I have seen it in advance.

:20:08. > :20:12.It says priority has been given to oncology and palliative care

:20:13. > :20:16.patients. They have had absolute plans from every trust in the United

:20:17. > :20:24.Kingdom to look at specifically the urgency of those patients. May ask,

:20:25. > :20:29.if these e-mails have been leaked, and that the junior doctors

:20:30. > :20:37.committee have said that the policy is indefinite action, what is your

:20:38. > :20:41.reaction? -- may I ask. I cannot countenance that. I don't think we

:20:42. > :20:48.can justify that. It makes us look unreasonable. We are not. I would

:20:49. > :20:51.like to address the point about NHS England Saint palliative care has

:20:52. > :20:56.been prioritised. My job is to build a relationship of trust with my

:20:57. > :21:00.patients. It takes time. People are vulnerable. Even if my consultants

:21:01. > :21:06.come in, and they are amazing at their job, I have still lost that

:21:07. > :21:10.position... I wouldn't agree with that. The conversations I have with

:21:11. > :21:14.my patient in my clinics, when we talk about this, and they bring it

:21:15. > :21:19.up, not a single patient told me they would lose trust in me. In fact

:21:20. > :21:21.the opposite. I will assess things after the next strike. Thank you

:21:22. > :21:22.very much. Now, let's get Shakespeare to help

:21:23. > :21:31.us back to the Referendum. Upon a pleasing

:21:32. > :21:37.treaty, and have hearts Inclinable to honour and advance The theme

:21:38. > :21:40.of our assembly: the people Must have their voices; neither

:21:41. > :21:42.will they bate One jot of ceremony. but it's closer to the Arctic Circle

:21:43. > :21:47.than it is to London. The Shetland Isles make up the UK's

:21:48. > :21:50.most northerly outpost. Now, the last time we had

:21:51. > :21:52.a referendum on our relationship with Europe -

:21:53. > :21:55.that was in 1975 when we voted on membership of the EEC -

:21:56. > :21:57.Shetland was one of only But these remote islands,

:21:58. > :22:01.with their 22,000 inhabitants, have We sent Katie Razzall

:22:08. > :22:32.with only 15 inhabited. It's the Shetland

:22:33. > :22:42.name for the puffin. There is a Scandinavian twang

:23:38. > :23:40.since that time is the onset of the oil industry,

:23:43. > :23:47.for jobs up here. Many people for a long time

:24:35. > :24:37.interesting, what is going I can see exactly why they voted

:24:38. > :24:41.no last time. That was purely down

:28:59. > :29:00.more of a global outlook. We have an oil industry,

:29:01. > :29:10.which is a global industry. We have fishing industries right

:29:11. > :29:14.across the globe. Looking at little Europe it's not

:29:52. > :29:55.that we didn't want anything to do with this Europe place,

:29:56. > :29:57.if that is what it was. I can see the benefits, and I also

:29:58. > :30:12.feel a sense of belonging. I have gone as far north as it's

:30:13. > :30:16.possible to drive in the UK. And reached one end

:31:12. > :31:16.by death's sharp sting! And falls, through wind,

:31:17. > :31:26.before the fall should be. Our thanks to the

:31:27. > :31:32.actress Akiya Henry. Our Shakespeare quotes,

:31:33. > :31:37.selected by the Shakespeare scholar Jonathan Bate,

:31:38. > :31:40.were from Henry V for Barack Obama, from Richard II for the junior
