:01:07. > :01:21.terrible, but nobody seems to bother about that -- under 1000.
:01:22. > :01:31.We aren't of the last hour of voting in the UK's referendum on membership
:01:32. > :01:37.of the European Union. -- we are into the last hour. These pictures
:01:38. > :01:41.have come in today, showing senior politicians are rising polling

:01:45. > :01:49.Michael Gove the Justice Secretary there. This is Nicola Sturgeon, the
:01:50. > :01:56.First Minister of Scotland. These are pictures of Nigel Farage, the
:01:57. > :01:59.leader of the UK Independence Party. And in common with other
:02:00. > :02:04.broadcasters, the BBC is very limited on what we can report while
:02:05. > :02:09.polls are open. But once they are close at 10pm here in the UK, in
:02:10. > :02:14.just under an hour, there will be special coverage from the BBC on
:02:15. > :02:21.this referendum. Now, we know that this many people are entitled to
:02:22. > :02:25.take part, 46,499,530 is. That is according to provisional figures
:02:26. > :02:29.from the Electoral Commission. This is the ballot paper, with rotors
:02:30. > :02:36.asked one question - shut the United Kingdom remain a member of the
:02:37. > :02:39.European Union or leave it? There are no complicated electoral systems
:02:40. > :02:41.at play here. The option that gets the most votes will be declared the
:02:42. > :02:45.winner will of the people. Over the last week, I've been
:02:46. > :02:53.travelling around the country. We have been to Tunbridge Wells,
:02:54. > :02:56.Edinburgh, London for the BBC's big debate. We also went to Manchester,
:02:57. > :02:58.because it is going to play a crucial part in this referendum
:02:59. > :03:11.result. Let's have a look. Voting in the UK's friend on EU
:03:12. > :03:20.membership ends at 10pm. Then, the counting begins at Manchester Town
:03:21. > :03:23.Hall. The counting will be done at 382 local centres, who will pass

:03:46. > :03:50.to stay up very late or set an early alarm. There will be a role total as
:03:51. > :03:54.results will be announced. We are expecting that by for a we should

:04:03. > :04:06.estimate that the result will be announced at 7am. Though, as with
:04:07. > :04:11.many aspects of this referendum, we should add a caveat as Mac if the
:04:12. > :04:15.vote is tight, 7am May be a little optimistic. What we can be certain
:04:16. > :04:20.of is Manchester's place in the history of the UK's membership of
:04:21. > :04:26.the European Union. Whenever the result is announced, it will be done
:04:27. > :04:29.here, in Manchester Town Hall. Next on Outside Source we will bring you
:04:30. > :04:32.up-to-date on a busy day in Washington, DC.
:04:33. > :04:35.This is the lower house, and Democrats are staging a sit-in
:04:36. > :04:43.The group was led by Congressman John Lewis -
:04:44. > :04:46.he was a major figure in the civil rights movement in the 60s.
:04:47. > :04:48.That featured many non-violent protests like sit-ins at segregated
:04:49. > :04:53.restaurants - and he's doing it again.
:04:54. > :05:03.He called other Democrats to begin the process. I ask that all of my
:05:04. > :05:27.colleagues join me on the floor. For months, even four years, through
:05:28. > :05:32.several sessions of Congress, I wondered, what would bring this body
:05:33. > :05:37.to take action? What would finally make Congress do what is right, what
:05:38. > :05:46.is just, what the people of this country have been demanding, and
:05:47. > :05:52.what is long overdue. We have lost hundreds and thousands of innocent
:05:53. > :06:00.people to gun violence. Now, what has this body Don? Mr Speaker,
:06:01. > :06:02.nothing. Not one thing -- what has this body Don. John Lewis speaking
:06:03. > :06:06.earlier. Well, Republicans adjourned
:06:07. > :06:07.the House early on Thursday to try to end the protest -
:06:08. > :06:10.the TV cameras even got But TV's not the only
:06:11. > :06:30.broadcast option these days. Stream their speeches using apps
:06:31. > :06:35.such as Periscope. One Democrat, Scott Peters, has been talking about
:06:36. > :06:40.how he had to download an app, Periscope, so that he could stream
:06:41. > :06:46.what is happening. He said... I should tell you that the protest has
:06:47. > :06:52.now ended. As I was mentioning, Katya cake, lovely to speak to you.
:06:53. > :06:56.Thanks for coming by. Let's start with this, it generated a lot of
:06:57. > :06:59.publicity, I guess that was one of the goals. But realistically they
:07:00. > :07:03.are not going to get the vote that they want, are they? No, the reason
:07:04. > :07:06.they are doing it is what you suggested, this is to stomach than
:07:07. > :07:11.political posturing. Democrats feel that in this election year they have
:07:12. > :07:14.the public on their side. They are trying to force a Republican
:07:15. > :07:20.congressmen to go back to their district and say they would not even
:07:21. > :07:25.have a vote on gun control measures. 90% of Americans support some form
:07:26. > :07:31.of expanded background checks, the majority of Republican support that.
:07:32. > :07:34.They feel that after the attack in Orlando. But realistically, this
:07:35. > :07:38.will not get them anywhere, and probably a bill that was in the
:07:39. > :07:43.Senate, just put to the Senate today, it is unlikely that is going
:07:44. > :07:48.to get very far either. If 90% of Americans want some form of action,
:07:49. > :07:52.all politicians have I am not being re-elected -- on being re-elected,
:07:53. > :07:56.why is there not political momentum by Republicans shifting their
:07:57. > :08:03.position? For some people in the United States, voting against gun
:08:04. > :08:06.control is probably the only issue vote on. It is the most important
:08:07. > :08:09.issue for them. They will be their members of Congress if those members
:08:10. > :08:11.of Congress tried to vote in favour of gun control. That gives the gun
:08:12. > :08:17.lobby, the NRA, an extremely valuable weasel is. Let's quickly
:08:18. > :08:22.play a clip of Barack Obama earlier. The plan is to allow many illegal
:08:23. > :08:26.immigrant is to stay in the US, but now the Supreme Court of America is
:08:27. > :08:30.blocking those measures. Here is the President'sreaction to that. In the
:08:31. > :08:35.end, it is my firm belief that immigration is not something to
:08:36. > :08:41.fear. We don't have to wall ourselves off from those who may not
:08:42. > :08:46.look like us right now or pray like we do or have a different class
:08:47. > :08:52.name, because being an American is about something more than that. What
:08:53. > :08:56.makes us American is our shared commitment an ideal, that all of us
:08:57. > :09:00.were created equal, all of us have a chance to make of our lives what we
:09:01. > :09:04.will. This is a battle the president is going to want to win before he
:09:05. > :09:07.leaves the White House. Can he take on the Supreme Court? It looks like
:09:08. > :09:11.this one is not going to pass either. What President Obama
:09:12. > :09:16.specifically wanted to do was to give immigrants who are in America
:09:17. > :09:20.illegally but who have children who are born in America and therefore
:09:21. > :09:24.legally US citizens, he didn't want those families broken up. He tried
:09:25. > :09:29.to get it through than executive order, the Supreme Court is missing
:09:30. > :09:33.one of its members so it had a tight decision. The Supreme Court should
:09:34. > :09:35.never have had that, there should be nine members of the Supreme Court
:09:36. > :09:40.but there are actually eight. In the case of a tie, the lower court's
:09:41. > :09:45.ruling stands, so he is not going to get this one through. Donald Trump
:09:46. > :09:49.sacked his campaign manager on Monday. He is coming to Scotland
:09:50. > :09:53.because he is going to be attending one of his new golf resorts. Do you
:09:54. > :10:00.think that in the end looks like a good strategic move for Trump?
:10:01. > :10:05.People are already saying, what is he doing is bending three days in
:10:06. > :10:08.Scotland? He is opening a golf course. It is not unusual for
:10:09. > :10:12.presidential candidates to make a foreign trip touring the cause of
:10:13. > :10:16.the campaign. It is generally to Israel, or to a major European
:10:17. > :10:20.capital, not with Scottish golf resort. Between his financial woes,
:10:21. > :10:23.the campaign shake-up, being out of the country for three days, there
:10:24. > :10:27.are a lot of Republicans even scratching their heads at this one.
:10:28. > :10:39.He is doing that consciously. He knows the advice is that this is not
:10:40. > :10:42.a normal thing to do. He knows the advice. Donald Trump's plan is to be
:10:43. > :10:44.Donald Trump act by his own. So far, his rules have gotten much further
:10:45. > :10:47.than anybody would have predicted. His argument to those saying, the
:10:48. > :10:51.presidential, tone it down, is to say, I wouldn't be the nominee if I
:10:52. > :10:56.had done it by your rules. Good to see you, thank you very much. If you
