:03:41. > :03:44.look back to the Scottish referendum, everyone was complacent,
:03:45. > :03:51.thinking Scotland would vote to stay in the EU. There was that polling
:03:52. > :03:59.the Sunday Times and suddenly the polls had narrowed to a few points.
:04:00. > :04:03.And then that mad rush from David Cameron. Cameron started rushing up

:04:13. > :04:19.Scotland leaving the union and the dangers the Scottish consumers et
:04:20. > :04:23.cetera. What we see now is that regardless of what happens to the
:04:24. > :04:29.polls, both sides are going to fight this to the death. They are starting
:04:30. > :04:35.early and they are going to... We will have this campaign every day
:04:36. > :04:42.for four months until June 23. I have been involved in a few
:04:43. > :04:47.campaigns in my time but your worst position is complacency. If the
:04:48. > :04:51.polls show you are ahead, the danger is supporters get complacent and
:04:52. > :04:56.stone turnout. With the In campaign, which I support, they are ahead and
:04:57. > :05:06.it is in their interest to appear close. The Daily Telegraph. We are
:05:07. > :05:12.safer in Europe. The security element is being trotted out here.
:05:13. > :05:17.We are safer if we stay in Europe, apparently. This is going back to
:05:18. > :05:25.the point about having an orchestrated campaign. The
:05:26. > :05:32.government this morning... There was a letter from the FTSE to stay in
:05:33. > :05:38.Europe today. The Telegraph have -- has a letter saying they believe it
:05:39. > :05:41.is in the national interest to remain an EU member. The Out
:05:42. > :05:48.campaign will say that this is another example of Project Fiona,
:05:49. > :05:54.that actually our security interests are best represented within Nato,
:05:55. > :06:00.not within the European Union. And what the generals are doing probably
:06:01. > :06:06.pushed or encouraged by the government is to put fear into the
:06:07. > :06:13.public that we will be less secure if we leave the EU. But the fact is,
:06:14. > :06:19.if you have a bunch of people who want to run your Armed Forces that
:06:20. > :06:28.is quite a potent message, regardless of whether it is put in
:06:29. > :06:31.fact or not. I think it is fair to say that the remain campaign had the
:06:32. > :06:40.best of the media in the first few days of the referendum. Boris made a
:06:41. > :06:46.splash with his announcement, that was quickly undermined, the reasons
:06:47. > :06:51.why he was doing it, whether it was out of personal ad mission. David
:06:52. > :06:55.Cameron on strong form yesterday. -- admission. We have the economic
:06:56. > :06:59.argument made by the FTSE 100 companies. Now what we have the
:07:00. > :07:10.defence argument. I think Downing Street is determined that no -- the
:07:11. > :07:14.campaign should not be built up. It will be a long campaign. They can't
:07:15. > :07:21.sustain this all the way through. They are getting in pretty heavy
:07:22. > :07:24.blows early on. But there could be statistics and facts that are out of
:07:25. > :07:29.their control. Look at the Daily Telegraph. Migrant influx tops
:07:30. > :07:32.100,006 weeks. At the kind of headline that could make people
:07:33. > :07:42.think we need to control our borders, in their opinion. This just
:07:43. > :07:50.shows that the ripple effect... The cerium or -- the cerium crisis's
:07:51. > :07:56.effect. 110,000 migrants have travelled to the EU in the past six
:07:57. > :08:00.weeks, compared with 7500 in the same period last year. But there's
:08:01. > :08:06.nothing the EU can do about the in Syria. Our decision as to whether or
:08:07. > :08:13.not to stay in the EU could hinge on this. But this story, vis-a-vis
:08:14. > :08:18.Britain's membership of the EU, is a red herring. This is actually... The
:08:19. > :08:22.argument about whether we stay in or out of Europe is all about the free
:08:23. > :08:29.movement of people across the European single market. What this is
:08:30. > :08:35.is a refugee crisis stemmed by a wall, created by a wall, and the
:08:36. > :08:38.fact that 110,000 people arrive on the shores of Europe doesn't
:08:39. > :08:43.translate to a massive spike in migration into the UK because these
:08:44. > :08:49.people can't get access into the UK, apart from in a refugee
:08:50. > :08:54.programme. David Cameron has been quite tardy in the numbers of people
:08:55. > :08:59.he would take, 20,000 against 1 million for Germany. It is a red
:09:00. > :09:03.herring, you are right, in policy terms. At in terms of the impact on
:09:04. > :09:09.the referendum campaign it's a serious issue. -- but in terms. The
:09:10. > :09:14.question of migrants is so potent for 70 people in this country.
:09:15. > :09:18.People fear crime. -- for so many people. The fact that statistics
:09:19. > :09:22.tell a different story doesn't matter. It seems people fear the
:09:23. > :09:27.influx of immigrants, even if the fax say differently. Which is why
:09:28. > :09:30.David Cameron is having this referendum in June, ahead of the
:09:31. > :09:34.summer months when you will see a massive spike. The whole point of
:09:35. > :09:39.the winter is people don't make the journey because it is so
:09:40. > :09:44.treacherous. More than 400 people, including many children, have
:09:45. > :09:49.already drowned this year making the journey or trying to make the
:09:50. > :09:54.crossing. Guardian. Junior doctors declare fresh waves of strikes. They
:09:55. > :10:00.will be long enough, 48 hours, this is getting very nasty. Yes, the
:10:01. > :10:06.stakes are very high and clearly Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary,
:10:07. > :10:13.is hoping that the story will go away. -- Health Secretary. They will
:10:14. > :10:17.realise it wasn't so bad after all and they will go along with it,
:10:18. > :10:20.whether they like it or not. It seems from the position of the
:10:21. > :10:24.junior doctors that they are ready to go in for the long haul. But the
:10:25. > :10:30.last thing the government wants, because they will have a strategy --
:10:31. > :10:34.won't have a strategy, beyond hoping for the best, that junior doctors
:10:35. > :10:38.like in other industries will eventually lose the will to carry on
:10:39. > :10:43.the fight. At the moment they seem to have the will to go all the way.
:10:44. > :10:46.We had one junior doctors saying she was ready to go on and on in this
:10:47. > :10:50.dispute. What do you think this means for Jeremy Hunt? This story
:10:51. > :10:55.reminds me of what happened with Michael Gove. In the end, in the
:10:56. > :10:59.run-up to the election, he had such bad relations with the teaching
:11:00. > :11:06.community that effectively he was moved out of that department,
:11:07. > :11:11.because Lynton Crosby, the then Tory election chief, took the view that
:11:12. > :11:15.he was so toxic that it would affect their prospects at the polls. What
:11:16. > :11:21.would happen here is that Jeremy Hunt will be moved on from the
:11:22. > :11:29.department of health in the reshuffle that will happen. I think
:11:30. > :11:33.he will see this through, they will hope it will change when the
:11:34. > :11:40.contract kicks in and then he will move on. Because I think the medical
:11:41. > :11:49.community... Unless the judicial review decides the government can't
:11:50. > :11:54.impose a contract. Last attempt by President Obama. He hasn't been able
:11:55. > :12:01.to shut Guantanamo Bay. He probably won't still be able to do it is
:12:02. > :12:07.having a go and is really going for it. He has this visit to Cuba. Lots
:12:08. > :12:10.of controversial things. People who hate President Obama will hate him
:12:11. > :12:14.even more for attending to do all of this. Of course we know campaigning
:12:15. > :12:23.is going on to replace President Obama. We haven't seen any reaction
:12:24. > :12:28.yet from Donald Trump. You can see him turning around and saying the
:12:29. > :12:32.bill will be four times as big. It is a very inflammatory issue. The
:12:33. > :12:38.problem with President Obama is he doesn't have control over the
:12:39. > :12:41.Congress. It isn't good for his legacy, I suppose, that he said he
:12:42. > :12:46.would shut it and hasn't been able to. In the 2008 presidential
:12:47. > :12:49.election he described it as a sad chapter for American history and
:12:50. > :12:54.pledged to do something about it. He also pledged to do something about
:12:55. > :12:57.gun laws. There have been many things he wanted to do and the
:12:58. > :13:01.reality of when you actually get into the White House and you are
:13:02. > :13:07.gridlocked by your Congress it isn't possible. But he is really going for
:13:08. > :13:11.it in his final months. Even if he can't affect the change, he is
:13:12. > :13:18.putting these things back on the table, which is something. Yes. On
:13:19. > :13:23.the The Daily Mail. Most meat sold in restaurants and supermarkets is
:13:24. > :13:26.from animals raised on GM food. Basically there's been a whole
:13:27. > :13:33.debate about genetically modified crops in the UK. It is massive in
:13:34. > :13:37.the US. In the UK we have been very reluctant to have GM crops and we
:13:38. > :13:46.really only have GM crops for research centres. But obviously need
:13:47. > :13:49.imported is being fed on grain and maize that is GM. So it turns out
:13:50. > :13:54.that even though we have stringent rules in the UK about not having GM
:13:55. > :14:01.products on our food chain, the scale of the imported food means
:14:02. > :14:04.that we have loads of GM in our food chain, which tells you about the
:14:05. > :14:09.globalisation of food. Are people going to be bothered about this, do
:14:10. > :14:20.you think? The evidence suggests that they are not and that they tend
:14:21. > :14:24.to get not very excited about it. I think there's been a lot of hype
:14:25. > :14:28.about GM. It might be that after a while people think they have been
:14:29. > :14:34.consuming GM in one form or another for quite a long time, we haven't
:14:35. > :14:40.all fallen sick, and we will get used to the idea that actually GM is
:14:41. > :14:46.not the Frankenstein thing that some people try to suggest it is. It said
:14:47. > :14:50.here that big supermarkets said customers could avoid GM exposure if
:14:51. > :14:57.they bought organic food, because even UK bred animals might be fed
:14:58. > :15:03.food from overseas. But the thing is organic food is really expensive for
:15:04. > :15:09.so many people. So there are always trade-offs to these arguments.
:15:10. > :15:20.Finally, we have about one minute left, which chief is paid ?819,000
:15:21. > :15:29.for one year? This is your story in the Times. Yes. It is ironic. The
:15:30. > :15:33.chief exec of the consumer Champion has been paid such a big salary. He
:15:34. > :15:38.is probably the highest paid executive of a charity in the UK.
:15:39. > :15:42.The reason he has been paid such a big amount is that he had a full
:15:43. > :15:49.term incentive plan that paid out this fee and he was paid ?500,000 as
:15:50. > :15:53.a bonus. But the fact is... It will still be a surprise to a lot of
:15:54. > :15:58.people. Someone tweeted to me when I put this story out, she said, Which?
:15:59. > :16:04.should have a report into charities... they should investigate
:16:05. > :16:07.themselves. think they want to get the story out and be done with it.
:16:08. > :16:14.there's a new chairman in now and i don't think these sorts of paid --
:16:15. > :16:19.pay packets will be repeated, but it is damaging to the brand. exactly.
:16:20. > :16:28.we will have to end of there. it was the best story. let's not mention
