Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
We're live in Edinburgh with three days to go until the UK votes | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
in a referendum over whether it wants to be in - | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Campaigning has resumed after the death of Jo Cox. Today Parliament | :00:25. | :00:42. | |
was recalled. She spoke truth to power. Nigel Farage is the leader of | :00:43. | :00:54. | |
Ukip and a significant figure in the Leave campaign. He has criticised | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Prime Minister David Cameron for politicising the death of Jo Cox. | :00:59. | :01:07. | |
They are using these faults circumstances to say that the | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
motives of this deranged individual are similar to that of perhaps half | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
the country who want to leave the EU. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
We'll look at what a vote to leave would mean in Scotland - | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
especially if the majority of people here want to remain. | :01:26. | :01:37. | |
We will also be live in Washington, DC because Donald Trump has sacked | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
his campaign manager. Welcome to Outside Source | :01:42. | :01:57. | |
live from Edinburgh. We are towards the end of a blast of | :01:58. | :02:12. | |
the summer 's day that there is still light because this is one of | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
the longest days of the year and in the next hour we will be | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
concentrating on three of the nations inside the UK. Northern | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Ireland, Wales, and in particular Scotland. We have highlighted the | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
centre of Edinburgh. That's where I am talking to you from. All day long | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
the street has been bustling with tourists and locals going about | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
their work. Most of the Judas will not be voting in the referendum but | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
most people who call Edinburgh home certainly will be. -- most of the | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
tourists will not be voting in the referendum. | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
To put this in the context of the UK the Scottish electorate makes up 8% | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
of the UK electorate. So which way it goes will have an impact on the | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
outcome. But it could be about more than just numbers. Let us speak now | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
with a correspondent from The Times newspaper. For the outside world is | :03:17. | :03:27. | |
looking in, most people today have not mentioned it. The issue is | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
twofold. We had elections for the devolved Government recently which | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
took up a lot of attention. And we had the Scottish Independence | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Referendum two years ago and that hangs over everything in Scotland | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
and preoccupies people to the extent that the EU referendum has not done. | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
What is driving how people vote? There is a strong message from | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Nicola Sturgeon to vote to remain in the EU and she has the biggest | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
proportion of supporters in Scotland so that is driving at Remain vote. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
We will be talking again later. Thank you. | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
More on what is happening in a moment. We must talk about what has | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
been happening in Westminster today because Parliament was recalled to | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
pay tribute to Jo Cox who was killed on Thursday. She was a member of the | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
Labour Party, the main opposition party. Its leader Jeremy Corbyn said | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
her life had been spent serving and campaigning for others. Prime | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Minister said she was a loving determined and Progressive MP. Let | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
us also see what Nigel Farage has been saying. He is the leader of the | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
UK Independence Party, a significant voice in the Leave campaign, and he | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
sees the Remain campaign has been implying that there was a link | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
between the death of Jo Cox and how the Leave campaign has conducted | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
itself. Here he is talking to the BBC. The Remain campaign are using | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
these awful circumstances to dry to say that the motives of one deranged | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
and dangerous individual was similar of half the country, perhaps more, | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
we believe we should leave the EU. Who is saying that? Every single | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
one. The Prime Minister, the Chancellor, all talking about the | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
politics of hate. There is a clear implication that somehow a bad | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
atmosphere has been whipped up. One of the stories on the referendum | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
today has been the former chairman of the Conservative Party announcing | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
that she was no longer going to be supporting the Leave campaign and | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
that in part that was related to the tone of the Leave campaign. And this | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
post are played into that decision. It is a Ukip poster released by | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Nigel Farage which sparked huge controversy in the UK. | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
Those of us at the outset with that clear, moderate, | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Brexit have over time been taken over by a message which is divisive, | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
inward looking, xenophobic and unfortunately it is creating deep | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
Let us speak to a couple of younger voters who we have been speaking to | :06:44. | :07:04. | |
during the day. Thank you for being with us. What do you make of this | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
discussion around the tone of the campaign, both campaigns? With Nigel | :07:10. | :07:22. | |
Farage's poster, as Michael Gove said, it's made me sick to my | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
stomach. In terms of Grassroots Out, that has been disgusting, but | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
thought Leave has been more positive, we have not been jumping | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
on the death of Jo Cox, which a lot of the Remain campaign have been. I | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
think Leave have been extremely negative in their campaign. Long | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
before producing posters they have been suggesting that millions of | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Turkish people will come across here. In respect of if that is the | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
case or not quite as big attempting to demonise hundreds of thousands of | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
people that have moved. That is not to say that Remain has not been | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
negative but the Remain campaign has been positive, addressing social | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
justice issues such as climate change. Anybody that says you have | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
made a positive campaign, with the scaremongering of David Cameron and | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
George Osborne saying what is going to occur, that families would spot, | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
that households would evaporate, that is what is wrong with politics | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
now. There are problems with the Leave campaign. We have had certain | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
negative quotes but it is actually a warning that Turkey could come. It | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
is informing the British people but that is a possibility. But that is | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
lies. That is not going to happen. The myth has been dispelled and yet | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
the Leave campaign. In 2013 there was a memo leaked at the British | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
Embassy which said it was their policy. Let me ask you both. You are | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
both interested in getting votes for your site. Do you accept that being | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
negative often delivers faults in a way that being positive buzz not? It | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
might do. It certainly did for Better Together. But that is not the | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
way to campaign. Positive campaigning is the way forward. | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Bernie Sanders is a good example of that. I am making a positive case | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
for staying in the European Union. Peace and prosperity across the | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
entire continent of Europe and also making sure that we have | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
opportunities. I worry about young people missing out on opportunities | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
to work and study and live abroad. Those opportunities could be taken | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
away and made more competent at. Thank you for talking to us. We will | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
talk again later with a larger group. Now we will talk to a | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
correspondent from Washington because Donald Trump has sacked his | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
campaign manager. Two months ago he was charged with battery. That was | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
related to grabbing a female porter. A senior adviser to Donald Trump has | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
tweeted: Let us get another analysis from our correspondent in | :10:36. | :10:36. | |
Washington. How do we understand what has | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
happened here? On the one hand it is a shift from | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
one kind of campaign to another kind of campaign. The campaign manager | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
was the right man for the primaries. He was sharp elbowed anti-pools | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
Donald Trump from being an outsider to the presidential candidate. He | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
lied on the strategy of letting Donald Trump be himself, let his | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
personality big thing that would draw the crowds and dominate the | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
media. It was a lean, mean team. Now you are shifting to a general | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
election. You are up against a well oiled machine. You have to bring a | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
party behind you, get donors behind you. A different approach was | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
needed. On the one hand that is the shift. The other thing is, by all | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
accounts, the previous manager was quite aggressive in many ways, and | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
there was an internal power struggle going on within the campaign after | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Donald Trump brought in some other advisers to negotiate this shift. | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
That was creating a lot of dysfunction in the campaign which | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
was distressing Republican officials and that seems as if Donald Trump | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
finally made the decision to let his loyal campaign manager goal. Thank | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
you. More analysis on that should you want it. | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
In a few minutes we will go back to United States, this time to focus on | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Orlando, because the FBI has been telling us about some of the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
conversations it had with the man who carried out the nightclub | :12:11. | :12:11. | |
killings. There was a bomb in the city centre. | :12:12. | :12:30. | |
Army bomb experts were examining a suspect van when there was a huge | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
explosion. The population registration act has | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
been abolished, which classified each citizen according to race. | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
Germany's parliament has voted to move the seat of Government to their | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
loan. The decision was greeted with shock in Bonn. The focus of | :12:57. | :13:08. | |
attention today was on the first female cosmonaut. It is a wonderful | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
achievement. We are on the Royal Mile in | :13:12. | :13:31. | |
Edinburgh for today's Outside Source. We will be focusing on the | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
EU referendum in the UK. We are in Edinburgh today, London tomorrow, | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
Tunbridge Wells on weight and stay, Thursday everyone is voting, Friday | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
we will be live from Westminster. The lead story in the BBC newsroom | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
at the moment is that Donald Trump has sacked his campaign manager. It | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
is seen as a shift towards a bigger operation, getting him ready for a | :14:06. | :14:06. | |
general election. The United Nations says the number | :14:07. | :14:36. | |
of people around the world displaced by conflict is now | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
more than 65 million - It's being caused by conflict in | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
places like Syria and Afghanistan. There's a potential | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
new lead in the search Campaigners have released | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
photographs of personal belongings which have washed up | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
on a beach in Madagascar. Relatives are being asked to see | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
if they recognise the items. Just to give you an idea of how | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
Scots may be thinking of voting let us look at one survey. 51% of people | :15:01. | :15:10. | |
saying they want to stay in the EU, 21% staying out and the rest saying | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
they are not sure. Surveys across the UK are much closer. Since last | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
year's general election in the UK we take all opinion polls with a pinch | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
of salt. One of the interesting factors in Scotland is the idea that | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
there may be a second referendum on Scottish independence. Nicola | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
Sturgeon of the Scottish National Party, First Minister in Scotland | :15:38. | :15:38. | |
has this to say. That is counterintuitive because | :15:39. | :15:51. | |
some people think if there is a Brexit then Scotland, the majority | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
of Scots have voted to remain, it would trigger a referendum. This | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
requires context. We have got this report. | :16:02. | :16:11. | |
It had looked as though Scotland's political landscape had been fixed | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
for the foreseeable future when less than two years ago its people | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
rejected independence by a comfortable margin of 10%. | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
The current referendum on EU membership | :16:20. | :16:20. | |
has barely caused the Scottish to break stride or stir their | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
But could the result of the EU vote change all that? | :16:24. | :16:37. | |
We are very clear we want both Scotland and | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
the rest of the UK to remain in the European Union. | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
But in the scenario that the rest of the UK | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
wanted to leave and Scotland wanted to remain that would cause a | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
constitutional issue that would be of serious | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
concern and we would have | :16:51. | :16:51. | |
to think about the consequences of that. | :16:52. | :16:52. | |
The specific consequence that | :16:53. | :16:53. | |
is being threatened as a second referendum. | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
Pro-union politicians insist the chance for independence has | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
The Scottish people of course knew that there would be an | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
EU referendum at that point when they were voting. | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
If they were really that bothered they might have voted | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
But even if there were surging demand | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
for a second referendum, and that is far from certain, | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
Edinburgh would need approval to hold one from London, | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
and for Brussels to make clear it would accept an independent | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
Ultimately though the decision will be a political one. | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
The Scottish National Party won't call | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
another referendum unless they are absolutely sure of winning it | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
but here we enter the realm of uncertainty as no one can say | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
for sure the effect of Brexit on | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
Scottish voters as it's never happened before, | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
outcome of the vote in a few days' time of course, we may never know. | :17:41. | :17:58. | |
I joined by the Scottish correspondent for The Times. It can | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
feel confusing trying to understand the position the SNP on this issue, | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
Europe, then you also consider, it has an ambition to get a second | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
referendum. The position of the First Minister has changed | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
throughout the course of this campaign. The reason she is having | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
to say what she said earlier that people who support independence | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
should support Remain is that her manifesto suggests something | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
different. She seems to say in that manifesto, she did say, if there was | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
a material change in circumstances in the constitution such as Scotland | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
voting to remain in the EU but being dragged out against its will, that | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
could trigger a second Independence Referendum. You can see by her | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
supporters and supporters of independence are confused and she | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
has had to clarify. It is all about the timing. They do not want to call | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
a referendum if they are not certainly can win. They do not. We | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
have talked about triggers for independence referendums. There is | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
one trigger and it is a succession of service coming out strongly in | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
favour of Scots backing independence, that is the only time | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon will call a second Independence | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
Referendum. Two years ago the economy and how Scotland would fear | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
was one of the big issues that drove the debate around Independence | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
Referendum, is it the same note, is that one of the key drivers? Oil | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
prices are down. Three of the main things that we talked about in 2014 | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
were the economy and the price of oil and who will Scotland would fear | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
of going it alone. The second was a guarantee of EU membership for | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
Scotland. The third was the currency which Scotland with use, would it | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
retain the pound, would it introduced the usual, would it have | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
its own currency? All of those three factors are more completed than they | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
were two years ago. The oil prices dropped. Public sector finances are | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
not looking as good as they were in 2014. The issue of EU membership | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
obviously because of the referendum on Thursday, what would that mean | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
for Scotland as a continuing state or otherwise? And also the currency. | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
If we are talking about a Scot and which was leaving the UK which is | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
the EU, what currency do we use? I want to ask you about the tone. We | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
have heard sharp exchanges between politicians based in Westminster, | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
the English politicians, but in terms of the debate within | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
Scotland's political sphere has been more civil? In this case it has | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
been. There is a lot more support for Remain up in Scotland. It is | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
less divided. There is less the tree. It has been better. However I | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
would suggest we are still suffering at Hanover from 2014. | :20:49. | :21:02. | |
-- hangover from 2014. It is beyond dispute that more | :21:03. | :21:13. | |
business leaders have come out in favour of staying in the European | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
Union that have come out in support of leading and that has continued | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
today. Sir Richard Branson has said: We have also heard from the chairman | :21:19. | :21:31. | |
of the English Premier League who sees: | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
That as ever there are two views on any issue. When it comes to this EU | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
referendum campaign this if those are areas of debate one | :21:45. | :22:01. | |
thing we can be certain of is that the pound is as strong as it has | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
been for years. Let us bring in our correspondent from New York. Can we | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
say this is connected to how the campaign is going? Absolutely. If | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
you look at the markets, even on this side of the Atlantic we are | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
seeing a lot of volatility. That volatility has to do with the | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
changing direction of the opinion polls. Last week we saw that the | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
opinion polls showed the possibility of a Brexit actually happening. We | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
saw that many investors were fleeing to what we call safety, goals, | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
Government bonds. This week, perhaps Brexit may not happen if you look at | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
the opinion walls and as a result the markets in the United States | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
have just closed and we concede that the markets have shot reading some | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
of the losses that we saw at the end of last week. And the pound is | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
strengthening and the dollar is strengthening. I sense that perhaps | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
on Thursday we may see an outcome that is more favourable to markets | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
and business leaders. Thank you. If you are just joining me this is | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
Outside Source. We have left the warmth of the BBC newsroom and we | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
have come out into what I would not describe as a balmy summers evening, | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
there is a brisk wind, but it has been a beautiful day. We are talking | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
about the EU referendum campaign. The voters on Thursday. We have | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
reported already from Washington and New York. Let us go back to the | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
United States and talk about what the FBI has been saying with | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
relation to that attack on the nightclub in Orlando. 49 people lost | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
their lives on June 12. They all died because of the actions of one | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
man, Omar Mateen. The FBI have been telling as about the DRC 's that | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
Omar Mateen maintained inside that nightclub and the fact that he was | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
talking to the police during those three hours. | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
As Orlando continues to come together in its grief more | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
information is coming to light about the horrific events that led to so | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
much loss of life. The night of the attack, it is now | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
known police were negotiating for nearly 30 minutes with Omar Mateen. | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
The FBI has released partial transcripts of those calls. Omar | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Mateen identifies himself as an Islamic soldier saying America must | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
stop bombing Serbia. At one point he threatens to detonate explosives in | :24:59. | :25:08. | |
a vehicle outside the club. -- stop bombing Syria. | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
He did so in a chilling and deliberate manner. The FBI says it | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
is still looking into the motives of the killer, issues surrounding his | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
mental health, his own sexual orientation, and the reason which he | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
may have been radicalised. -- the ways in which he may have been | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
radicalised. In your all 2016, an extraordinary | :25:38. | :25:47. | |
second-half between Wales and Russia. 3- 02 wheels. And no score | :25:48. | :26:02. | |
between England and Slovakia. -- | :26:03. | :26:04. |
