:04:32. > :04:38.Wstminister jetting up to Scotland for the day because they are

:05:28. > :05:35.being, well, the end of the world? Do you feel that this is
:05:36. > :05:38.a big deal or is it just...? Constantly thinking about it
:05:39. > :05:43.and how to vote I think it is a huge stab
:05:44. > :05:51.in the dark. Both are unimpressed
:05:52. > :06:02.by the pleas from Westminster. David Cameron raced out of Scotland
:06:03. > :06:07.just as he raced in. This is not about me, this is not
:06:08. > :06:13.about voting out the effing Tories. It is not about the next five years,
:06:14. > :06:27.it is for ever. Lucy Hockings is in Edinburgh, where
:06:28. > :06:45.the campaign has been heating up. What a remarkable day it has been.
:06:46. > :06:49.The momentum is building as is his sense of excitement. We are now
:06:50. > :06:54.hearing that turnout may be over 80% which would be massive. But also one
:06:55. > :07:01.of the thing that is crucial right now at this stage, eight days before
:07:02. > :07:05.polling day, is that 18% of Scottish voters remain undecided. So many of
:07:06. > :07:09.the messages are being targeted at them. We have yet to see how the
:07:10. > :07:17.visit of the Prime Minister will play out. Will voters here -- some
:07:18. > :07:20.of the people here say they don't want to be patronised and it won the
:07:21. > :07:25.leaders coming up from Westminster to tell us how to vote. It will be
:07:26. > :07:30.interesting to see how the visit of the three leaders has actually
:07:31. > :07:32.played out. Our correspondent has been talking to some voters to see
:07:33. > :07:46.where their opinion is tonight. It is known as the Kingdom of Fife.
:07:47. > :07:52.A bellwether area. How people vote next week may hold true for all of
:07:53. > :07:56.Scotland. We gathered people to watch the first televised debate.
:07:57. > :08:00.They all said they were undecided at the time. They are a snapshot of the
:08:01. > :08:04.people both sides are trying to win over. Among them are a brother and
:08:05. > :08:10.sister were both in their 20s and both solicitors. There was more
:08:11. > :08:16.substance there but there are still not enough. You say there was not
:08:17. > :08:20.enough information in the first debate, how are you feeling now? I
:08:21. > :08:26.still don't think information has come out. I'm still veering between
:08:27. > :08:34.yes and no. Voting yes is a leap in the dark but so is no. Lauren, you
:08:35. > :08:39.were undecided, how are you feeling? I think my vote will be yes. Various
:08:40. > :08:44.facts and figures that have come out as an influence me. I also feel that
:08:45. > :08:50.my vote is for me as well as my two children. This carer in her 40s was
:08:51. > :08:58.undecided and how she now made up her mind? I'm 60% yes -- I'm 60% no,
:08:59. > :09:05.40% yes. What factors are influencing your decision? I think
:09:06. > :09:10.it is the pound. The currency. If we keep the pound, we will not be in
:09:11. > :09:14.control of it. We will be set by the Bank of England or if we are in
:09:15. > :09:19.Europe, we will be ruled by Europe and the euro. That worries me. There
:09:20. > :09:23.is a big conversation going on not just here in Fife but across
:09:24. > :09:28.Scotland. Families and friends discussing what they want for this
:09:29. > :09:33.country's future. Engaged in politics in a way where least mean
:09:34. > :09:46.that in a grey dashing away rarely seen.
:09:47. > :09:55.So a lot of voters undecided. Are they expecting the turnout to
:09:56. > :10:01.increase? Everyone here is predicting a high turnout, possibly
:10:02. > :10:06.as high or more than 80%. Everywhere in Edinburgh, this is what people
:10:07. > :10:12.are talking about. Everybody has an opinion on this referendum and the
:10:13. > :10:15.future Scotland. Because this is a decision of a lifetime, probably the
:10:16. > :10:19.biggest political decision that many people will make. One of the most
:10:20. > :10:23.interesting things has been talking to some of the half a million people
:10:24. > :10:28.who live here in Scotland are foreign nationals. There are 35,000
:10:29. > :10:32.Polish people living here in Scotland and asking them what they
:10:33. > :10:37.think, it is interesting to note that they would vote yes. They want
:10:38. > :10:41.Scotland to be independent because they think that Westminster does not
:10:42. > :10:43.listen to the European Union and is not pro-European. So they think an
:10:44. > :10:47.independent Scotland not pro-European. So they think an
:10:48. > :10:53.when you look dashing when you look at some of those
:10:54. > :10:55.when you look dashing when you look well, it is interesting to see those
:10:56. > :11:02.debates. I spoke to members of the South Asian immunity. Some are on
:11:03. > :11:06.the yes campaign, some are on South Asian immunity. Some are on
:11:07. > :11:14.side. But the debate is firing in that community as well.
:11:15. > :11:19.What is the impassioned plea, the effect of it and the ramping up of
:11:20. > :11:20.emotion from the other major UK parties, what is the effect of
:11:21. > :11:27.those? In recent weeks, it has been parties, what is the effect of
:11:28. > :11:32.a debate about the economy and the emotional debate. We have not had

:11:47. > :11:50.Scotland. There is only one Tory Conservative MP here in Scotland.
:11:51. > :11:54.Most people actually dislike him. Coming up here and telling people he
:11:55. > :11:58.would be heartbroken has not gone down well with a lot of Scots who
:11:59. > :12:05.think it is just too little, too late. And some are saying they feel
:12:06. > :12:09.patronised, that he has sailed in so close to the referendum and told
:12:10. > :12:16.them what they should do. So I have to wait -- we have to wait and see
:12:17. > :12:20.what the polls will say with the effect of David Cameron. Ed Miliband
:12:21. > :12:24.and Nick Clegg were here as well, three Englishmen coming up to
:12:25. > :12:29.Scotland at a time of heightened emotion and they really worth just
:12:30. > :12:33.playing the emotional card. David Cameron saying don't break up our
:12:34. > :12:38.family. It a lot of people were saying they are not anti-English,
:12:39. > :12:42.they just want their own independent country. But those polls are still
:12:43. > :12:46.too close to call. There are plenty of people are still want to remain
:12:47. > :12:51.part of the United Kingdom. It is just not a voice I have been hearing
:12:52. > :12:58.much of today. Too close to call. Thank you very much.

:14:20. > :14:26.Many thanks for joining us. President Obama is due to make his
:14:27. > :14:36.major speech spelling out his plans, what you expecting to say?
:14:37. > :14:41.Certainly, he is going to upgrade the confrontation with Isis. Instead
:14:42. > :14:44.of simply dropping bombs, he will give a strategy. That strategy is
:14:45. > :14:54.supposed to include Alissa Cole, in terms of supporting the Iraqi
:14:55. > :15:04.government, -- include -- supporting the Iraqi government. I expect there
:15:05. > :15:09.will be more support for the Iraqi army. So it is a package. The White
:15:10. > :15:13.House now recognises the threat and the lead for the leadership to
:15:14. > :15:20.tackle that threat. Do you think such a strategy might include air
:15:21. > :15:25.strikes on Syria? That is a convex issue. I do not know. I know it will
:15:26. > :15:31.include more support to the Syrian opposition. It is most problematic.
:15:32. > :15:34.There are various players and they have different positions. Saudi
:15:35. > :15:44.Arabia has supported the opposition to bring down the ruler of Syria
:15:45. > :15:49.while he is now needed in the fight against Isis. So it is far more
:15:50. > :15:52.complex when it comes to Syria. Iraq is the easy part. I think Saudi
:15:53. > :16:01.Arabia and Syria will be more compensated. -- complicated.
:16:02. > :16:10.Will this new Iraqi government be in any fit state to put up effective
:16:11. > :16:15.resistance? It is a bit of a desired outcome, or I would call it wishful
:16:16. > :16:22.thinking, because the problem now is way beyond Iraq. ISIS has gained
:16:23. > :16:25.enough momentum to reverse that trend. It will really take
:16:26. > :16:31.collective, concerted efforts long time. The Iraqi government cannot do
:16:32. > :16:35.it. The Iraqi government can maybe regain some control over its main
:16:36. > :16:40.cities, but that is about it. It will not be able to control the
:16:41. > :16:47.borders, it will not be able to get rid of thousands of volunteers
:16:48. > :16:52.brought into the area to this very rich organisation today with its oil
:16:53. > :16:58.revenue. It is a very tough call and nobody should underestimate what is
:16:59. > :17:09.ahead. I am interested to know how US involvement, military involvement
:17:10. > :17:13.being viewed by Iraq and by Iraqi neighbours like Jordan and Saudi
:17:14. > :17:18.Arabia? Unfortunately there is a long track record of nearly ten
:17:19. > :17:24.years of intervention that has backfired in a big way and a lot of
:17:25. > :17:30.people in the press, you see it in organisations that are critical of
:17:31. > :17:35.US involvement. I think a lot of people would cautiously look at what
:17:36. > :17:39.does this mean? I think the Iraqi government is desperately needs that
:17:40. > :17:44.commitment, but a lot of political leaders, public opinion, it is
:17:45. > :17:48.critical of military intervention without checks and balances. The
:17:49. > :17:52.United States is leading multiple military interventions in the
:17:53. > :17:57.region, not with very clear policies in the eyes of the leaders in the
:17:58. > :18:03.region and in the eyes of the population, so even at that level,

:19:14. > :19:18.speculation, every country speculating on which job it would or
:19:19. > :19:22.would not get. Jean-Claude Juncker said today that he wanted to shake
:19:23. > :19:26.things up a bit. He certainly has done that, most notably through this
:19:27. > :19:31.creation of what you would describe as super commissioners, seven people
:19:32. > :19:37.in charge of broad areas of policy. And with other commissioners working
:19:38. > :19:41.under them. This is designed to do one key thing, to make sure that
:19:42. > :19:46.commissioners, which are often accused of doing too much into
:19:47. > :19:50.areas, he wants them to focus on priorities and he wants to make sure
:19:51. > :19:53.that the commission of the EU steps up to the plate when it needs to and
:19:54. > :19:58.sleeves other things to member states. I think this could be seen
:19:59. > :20:02.as a reflection, a reaction to what happened in the European elections,
:20:03. > :20:06.a strong signal from countries thinking that Brussels is doing too
:20:07. > :20:10.much. He wants to be big on the big things and small on the small
:20:11. > :20:15.things, as he said today. It can be confusing when you look at Brussels
:20:16. > :20:35.institutions from outside. How important are these new roles and
:20:36. > :20:36.how important is the commission is very important. It is like a
:20:37. > :20:39.national civil service, very important. It is like a

:20:51. > :20:53.to accusations that it keeps proposing new things. Jean-Claude
:20:54. > :20:58.Juncker is trying to move away from that. This new structure is quite
:20:59. > :21:02.complicated. How much power the super commissioners will have,
:21:03. > :21:04.nobody is using junior commissioners, that would be
:21:05. > :21:11.sensitive for countries who do not try to think they have a junior
:21:12. > :21:14.commissioner, they are talking about you will really have the power in

:21:39. > :21:42.major portfolio because they do not want them to leave. This was the
:21:43. > :21:46.area of major concern to Britain. Most of the financial regulation is
:21:47. > :21:50.done, so it is not that important, but the signal it senses that
