Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
We are into the last hour of voting in the UK's referendum on whether to | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
leave or remain in the European Union. The US Supreme Court blocks | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
President Obama's plan to reform the migration system. Meanwhile, | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
Democrats in Congress have staged president of process. -- and | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
unprecedented processed. Farc rebels and the Colombian government have | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
held a ceremony to mark the ceasefire. There are now more | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
millionaires in Asia than any other region in the world, despite slowing | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
economic growth. We will find out what is happening there. And the | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
1000 people in place for Glastonbury Festival. The weather has been | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
terrible, but nobody seems to bother about that -- under 1000. | :01:07. | :01:21. | |
We aren't of the last hour of voting in the UK's referendum on membership | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
of the European Union. -- we are into the last hour. These pictures | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
have come in today, showing senior politicians are rising polling | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
stations to cast their votes. There is Prime Minister David Cameron, | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Michael Gove the Justice Secretary there. This is Nicola Sturgeon, the | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
First Minister of Scotland. These are pictures of Nigel Farage, the | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
leader of the UK Independence Party. And in common with other | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
broadcasters, the BBC is very limited on what we can report while | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
polls are open. But once they are close at 10pm here in the UK, in | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
just under an hour, there will be special coverage from the BBC on | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
this referendum. Now, we know that this many people are entitled to | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
take part, 46,499,530 is. That is according to provisional figures | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
from the Electoral Commission. This is the ballot paper, with rotors | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
asked one question - shut the United Kingdom remain a member of the | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
European Union or leave it? There are no complicated electoral systems | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
at play here. The option that gets the most votes will be declared the | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
winner will of the people. Over the last week, I've been | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
travelling around the country. We have been to Tunbridge Wells, | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
Edinburgh, London for the BBC's big debate. We also went to Manchester, | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
because it is going to play a crucial part in this referendum | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
result. Let's have a look. Voting in the UK's friend on EU | :02:59. | :03:11. | |
membership ends at 10pm. Then, the counting begins at Manchester Town | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
Hall. The counting will be done at 382 local centres, who will pass | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
their results on to 12 regional centres. They in turn will | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
communicate with the chief accounting officer, who will be | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
right here in Manchester -- chief accounting officer. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
There are not going to be any public exit polls. If you want an | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
indication of what way this is going, you are either going to have | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
to stay up very late or set an early alarm. There will be a role total as | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
results will be announced. We are expecting that by for a we should | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
have a very good idea of who has won. -- foray on. -- foray. Our best | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
estimate that the result will be announced at 7am. Though, as with | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
many aspects of this referendum, we should add a caveat as Mac if the | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
vote is tight, 7am May be a little optimistic. What we can be certain | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
of is Manchester's place in the history of the UK's membership of | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
the European Union. Whenever the result is announced, it will be done | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
here, in Manchester Town Hall. Next on Outside Source we will bring you | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
up-to-date on a busy day in Washington, DC. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
This is the lower house, and Democrats are staging a sit-in | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
The group was led by Congressman John Lewis - | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
he was a major figure in the civil rights movement in the 60s. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
That featured many non-violent protests like sit-ins at segregated | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
restaurants - and he's doing it again. | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
He called other Democrats to begin the process. I ask that all of my | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
colleagues join me on the floor. For months, even four years, through | :05:04. | :05:27. | |
several sessions of Congress, I wondered, what would bring this body | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
to take action? What would finally make Congress do what is right, what | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
is just, what the people of this country have been demanding, and | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
what is long overdue. We have lost hundreds and thousands of innocent | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
people to gun violence. Now, what has this body Don? Mr Speaker, | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
nothing. Not one thing -- what has this body Don. John Lewis speaking | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
earlier. Well, Republicans adjourned | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
the House early on Thursday to try to end the protest - | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
the TV cameras even got But TV's not the only | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
broadcast option these days. Stream their speeches using apps | :06:11. | :06:30. | |
such as Periscope. One Democrat, Scott Peters, has been talking about | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
how he had to download an app, Periscope, so that he could stream | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
what is happening. He said... I should tell you that the protest has | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
now ended. As I was mentioning, Katya cake, lovely to speak to you. | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
Thanks for coming by. Let's start with this, it generated a lot of | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
publicity, I guess that was one of the goals. But realistically they | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
are not going to get the vote that they want, are they? No, the reason | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
they are doing it is what you suggested, this is to stomach than | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
political posturing. Democrats feel that in this election year they have | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
the public on their side. They are trying to force a Republican | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
congressmen to go back to their district and say they would not even | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
have a vote on gun control measures. 90% of Americans support some form | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
of expanded background checks, the majority of Republican support that. | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
They feel that after the attack in Orlando. But realistically, this | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
will not get them anywhere, and probably a bill that was in the | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Senate, just put to the Senate today, it is unlikely that is going | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
to get very far either. If 90% of Americans want some form of action, | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
all politicians have I am not being re-elected -- on being re-elected, | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
why is there not political momentum by Republicans shifting their | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
position? For some people in the United States, voting against gun | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
control is probably the only issue vote on. It is the most important | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
issue for them. They will be their members of Congress if those members | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
of Congress tried to vote in favour of gun control. That gives the gun | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
lobby, the NRA, an extremely valuable weasel is. Let's quickly | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
play a clip of Barack Obama earlier. The plan is to allow many illegal | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
immigrant is to stay in the US, but now the Supreme Court of America is | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
blocking those measures. Here is the President'sreaction to that. In the | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
end, it is my firm belief that immigration is not something to | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
fear. We don't have to wall ourselves off from those who may not | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
look like us right now or pray like we do or have a different class | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
name, because being an American is about something more than that. What | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
makes us American is our shared commitment an ideal, that all of us | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
were created equal, all of us have a chance to make of our lives what we | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
will. This is a battle the president is going to want to win before he | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
leaves the White House. Can he take on the Supreme Court? It looks like | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
this one is not going to pass either. What President Obama | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
specifically wanted to do was to give immigrants who are in America | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
illegally but who have children who are born in America and therefore | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
legally US citizens, he didn't want those families broken up. He tried | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
to get it through than executive order, the Supreme Court is missing | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
one of its members so it had a tight decision. The Supreme Court should | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
never have had that, there should be nine members of the Supreme Court | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
but there are actually eight. In the case of a tie, the lower court's | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
ruling stands, so he is not going to get this one through. Donald Trump | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
sacked his campaign manager on Monday. He is coming to Scotland | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
because he is going to be attending one of his new golf resorts. Do you | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
think that in the end looks like a good strategic move for Trump? | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
People are already saying, what is he doing is bending three days in | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Scotland? He is opening a golf course. It is not unusual for | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
presidential candidates to make a foreign trip touring the cause of | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
the campaign. It is generally to Israel, or to a major European | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
capital, not with Scottish golf resort. Between his financial woes, | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
the campaign shake-up, being out of the country for three days, there | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
are a lot of Republicans even scratching their heads at this one. | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
He is doing that consciously. He knows the advice is that this is not | :10:28. | :10:39. | |
a normal thing to do. He knows the advice. Donald Trump's plan is to be | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
Donald Trump act by his own. So far, his rules have gotten much further | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
than anybody would have predicted. His argument to those saying, the | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
presidential, tone it down, is to say, I wouldn't be the nominee if I | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
had done it by your rules. Good to see you, thank you very much. If you | :10:52. | :10:56. | |

The longest civil war in history has ended. A ceremony is taking place to | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
mark the end of five decades of conflict in Colombia. The deal has | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
been done between the government and Farc rebels. Our correspondent was | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
there, we will hear from her. Teachers in England are to stage a | :11:15. | :11:26. | |
one-day strike on the 5th of July over pay and conditions. The new TZ | :11:27. | :11:30. | |

million people. Potentially be awful, the turnout for this ballot | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
for strike action was quite low, less than a quarter of teachers | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
returned their ballot papers. So it could be the case that headteachers | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
are somehow able to keep their schools are either fully open using | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
staff who not members of this particular union, or partially open. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
But for lots and lots of parents, there will be disruption ahead. | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
Well come back to the BBC newsroom, this is Outside Source. Our lead | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
story is that voters in the UK are going to the polls. They have just | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
45 minutes left Kosovo on whether Britain should leave or remain in | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
the European Union. -- to cast a vote. Let's pick-up some of the main | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
stories from the BBC World Service. The medical charity, MSF, | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
says nearly 200 people in Nigeria who fled the Islamist group | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
Boko Haram have died of starvation and dehydration in the past month | :12:59. | :13:01. | |

extreme weather in 78 people have been | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
killed in hailstorms, Many other were injured, and many | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
homes have been totally destroyed. More than 300,000 people have signed | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
a petition urging Apple not to ditch the headphone socket | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
from the version of the iPhone Online reports suggest Apple | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
plans to omit the socket Though given how secretive Apple is, | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
exactly what it plans This is quite an opening line | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
to a story - the world's longest civil war is officially set | :13:28. | :13:43. | |
to end any minute. The Colombian government and leftist | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
guerrilla army, the Farc, have agreed a full bilateral | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
ceasefire, that will be After three years of peace | :13:48. | :13:49. | |

camp deep in the jungle before they talk. -- heavily armed do realise. | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
Despite an impending peace deal, they are still considered an enemy | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
of the state until they lay down their weapons. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
GUNFIRE Five decades of Civil War pitted the | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Farc and several other militant groups against the government and | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
each other. Partly inspired by the Cuban revolution, the Farc say they | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
represent the rights of the raw poor. Columbia blood. -- auroral | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
poor. More than 227,000 people were killed, and millions more displaced. | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
The Farc became embroiled in the drugs trade, financing its | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
relentless war through cocaine. Meanwhile, billions of American | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
dollars will forward in to bolster the military. The water gets toll on | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
the country's youngest and most vulnerable. Children were killed and | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
forced to kill. Finally, talks were established on neutral territory, | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
Havana. And lessons from the Northern Ireland peace process were | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
used. The Farc in the 21st century is a strange beast. Most of its | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
original leaders have been killed, and after the Cold War, many | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
ordinary Colombians rejected their radical ideology. For decades, these | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
two rulers have been primed and ready for war. But the truth is now | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
they are preparing for peace. And many have their doubts about exactly | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
where they fit into a post-conflict Tom Beere. -- Colombia. Some are | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
worried the fighters will refuse to give up their guns. But their | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
leaders are busy briefing the rank and file, and insist they will | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
disarm. TRANSLATION: They know what they | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
must do. We have a high rocky in the Farc and we comply with orders from | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
our superiors. -- hierarchy. We know we are about to take a very | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
important step. Breakfast before dawn. The discipline and rules, the | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
constant mud and rain. Many are ready to trade the monotony of the | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
camp for new horizons. Now 27 years old, Camille joined the Farc as a | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
teenager knows no other reality. TRANSLATION: I'd like to be a | :16:35. | :16:39. | |

emerge from the jungle, these young people may finally rejoined | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
Colombian society. But some of them feel life outside and the threat of | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
retribution from their former enemies once the world's longest | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
civil war is over. If you want additional information | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
on the Civil War in Colombia you can find it right now online. Just go to | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
the front page of the BBC News website and put Colombia civil war | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
into the search box. Let's begin business by turning to France. | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Thousands of people have been marching impervious, they are | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
protesting, not for the first time, against these changes to French | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
label laws -- marching in Paris. These pictures have come in. Over | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
2000 police kept a close eye on proceedings, as you can see. -- | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
labour laws. The protests were led by unions, 85 people were arrested | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
even before marchers got underway. These reforms will change how | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
employers can treat employees, that is the dispute that is going on. | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
Francois on and called for all of those to stop, it has fallen on deaf | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
ears -- Francois Hollande. The Government is the weak Government. | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
President Hollande and Manuel Valls have certainly said that they will | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
see this law through to the end. But the reason there is this long | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
drawn-out campaign against it, which hasn't dwindled or gone away, is | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
this the unions feel like the government does not know its own | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
mind. It is a socialist government on paper, left-wing, and the | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
left-wing movement in France is split down the middle on this. If | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
anything, split more against this new proposal. There is a terribly | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
strong opinion, which you will hear everywhere on the street among | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
left-wing voters, that they have been betrayed. This idea of betrayal | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
by President Hollande and Manuel Valls is what gives the Orme and | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
impetus to the protest, because they detect that really the government | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
doesn't have the backbone in the long run to stick by this reform. | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
They have already had watered down quite a bit already. And they are | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
confident, I don't know whether they are right in their confidence, but | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
they feel confident, that the government can give more. Outside | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
Source will be back in Paris for the last week of Euro 2016, a couple of | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
weeks away. The annual consumer Electronics week event is underway | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
in the US. One of the big things we are told the gadget industry this | :19:10. | :19:19. | |
year is pushing the idea of the Smart home. To be honest, I feel | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
like we are expecting a fridge to order milk for us for quite some | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
time. Apparently the Smart home is finally coming. Here is a taste of | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
what it could be like. The camera actually captures | :19:27. | :19:54. | |
everything from ceiling to floor, wall-to-wall, without any blind | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
spots. That is really a shortcoming of home security in general. | :19:58. | :20:17. | |
In five to ten years, most appliances and products at home will | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
be smart. An extra report from Steve | :20:23. | :21:00. | |

Russia. He is a controversial man. He presents Russian state TV's | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
flagship news programme, he doesn't give very many interviews, but he | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
has given on to the BBC. In it, he hits back at his critics and levels | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
accusations against the foreign media, including us. He has been | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
speaking to the Rosenberg. He is one of the most controversial presenters | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
on Russian state television. He anchors a show called news of the | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
week. It is usually bad news about the West, and good news about Russia | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
and its president. He also heads the state news agency. Its job - to | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
spread Moscow's message to the world. Critics call him the | :21:50. | :21:50. | |
Kremlin's chief propagandist. In the words of him, Vladimir Putin | :21:51. | :22:12. | |
works from the good of his country from morning till might. And he has | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
pointed out that Russia is capable of turning America into radioactive | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
ash. You said today, which was interesting, that the year of | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
neutral journalism was over. What do you mean by that -- the era? | :22:27. | :23:13. | |
So you are saying that the BBC is not neutral in its journalism? What | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
about your journalism, is that neutral? | :23:21. | :23:32. | |
Blunt, and band. He is the only Russian journalist on the EU | :23:33. | :23:42. | |
sanctions list against Moscow, for being a central figure of Russian | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
government propaganda. He says that as an attack on freedom of speech. | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
And it hasn't changed his approach to reporting the news. | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
Let's go from Russia to the US. Do you remember the story from a few | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
weeks ago, a trial over who came up with the melody of the guitar riff | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
in Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant and Jimmy | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
Page were accused of plagiarism by a representative of the band Virat. | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
Well, a jury in Los Angeles has decided that they didn't rip off a | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
track by Spirit. First of all, this is their way to Heaven, which was | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
released in 1971. -- Stairway To Heaven. | :24:31. | :24:42. | |
And clearly it goes on for quite a lot longer than that, that is just | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
the beginning. This is a track called Taurus released by Spirit, | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
released three years beforehand. Well, since the verdict we have | :24:54. | :25:10. | |
heard from Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. This is some of what they | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
have been saying. Well, a reminder, we are into the | :25:13. | :25:34. | |
last 35 minutes of voting in the UK's referendum on whether to stay | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
in the European Union or not. At the moment, the BBC and other | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
broadcasters are banned a very strict rules on what we can report. | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
When the polls close in 35 minutes' time, then the BBC's coverage of | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
those referendum results will begin. And of course you will get that | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
whether you and -- are in the UK or outside it. | :25:59. | :26:02. |
