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

Well come back to the BBC newsroom, this is Outside Source. Our lead

to a story - the world's longest civil war is officially set

:13:44.:13:45.

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

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

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

: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.

Rosenberg, an interview with one of the best-known journalists in

:21:01.:21:05.

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?

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

And clearly it goes on for quite a lot longer than that, that is just

released three years beforehand. Well, since the verdict we have
