This is BBC World News Today, with me Philippa Thomas - | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
it's the eve of decision day for Scotland - the momentous vote | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
The Yes and No camps have been on the campaign trail for one last | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
push - before the future of Scotland - and the United Kingdom - | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
It is incredibly tense here in Scotland right now. The opinion | :00:19. | :00:35. | |
polls say it is simply too close to call. That means that soon every | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
single vote will count. And we'll be asking what lessons | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
might an independent Scotland learn from | :00:44. | :00:44. | |
the dissolution of Czechoslovakia President Obama says American troops | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
will not have a combat mission against Islamic State in Iraq - | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
despite a senior general suggesting I will not commit you and the rest | :00:51. | :01:05. | |
of our Armed Forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
An autopsy after more than five centuries - we'll tell you about new | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
research revealing just how King Richard III was killed in battle. | :01:14. | :01:25. | |
It's nearly decision time in Scotland where campaigners | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
for and against independence are making their final pitches to | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
Thursday will be an historic day with election | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
organisers saying 97% of eligible Scots are registered to vote. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
As you'd expect, leading politicians on both sides are frantically busy. | :01:42. | :01:54. | |
Alex Salmond says that this is the most empowering moment of voters | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
there will ever have. Gordon Brown says the union is too important to | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
lose. Nobody predicted even a few weeks ago that the polls would be | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
very close. Lucy Hockings is in Edinburgh | :02:09. | :02:08. | |
for us. Another remarkable day of what has | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
been an incredible referendum campaign. They are: Tomorrow | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Scotland's date with destiny. -- they are calling it. Whether or not | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
Scotland should be an independent country. The opinion polls are so | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
close. It is simply too close to call. With campaigning today, really | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
they are targeting those people who have not decided. The feeling people | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
get in Scotland is that if you are adamantly yes or no, that won't | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
change. But tens of thousands have still to make up their mind and that | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
is who the politicians have in speaking to today, with messages | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
about national identity, the future, and the economy. With the latest, | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
here is James Cook in Glasgow. Scotland tonight is a nation | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
divided. A country staring into its soul. For a after day, thousands of | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
activists have poured onto the streets. Many have taken time off | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
might work to fight for a vision of the future. | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
We want to control education, taxes, most of the levers we need. We get | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
pocket money from Westminster. We want control of our income and | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
expenditure. Our intellect brought us to this place... | :03:47. | :03:56. | |
Do not be confused. If you want real power, and you wanted to stay in | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
Scotland, organising your own government, taxes, and future, vote | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
yes. There is no doubt this campaign has | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
been divisive but it has also breathe life into politics in | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Scotland. The place is crackling with energy as the country reaches | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
the final hours of the campaign. And, for the hour,, the man. Those | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
battling to keep Scotland in the UK have not always matched the passion | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
of their opponents. What we have built together by | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
sacrificing and sharing, let nobody split asunder. Tell them this is | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
hours. This is not they are. Not their fly, not the country, not the | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
streets. The man who more than anyone has | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
brought Scotland to this place does not disagree. Alex Salmond insists | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
he wants to build a new country for all. Is he standing on the eve of | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
history? There have been fundamental | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
changes. We have seen a campaign of grass-roots empowerment. A festival | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
of democracy. Now it is in the hands of the Scottish people. There is no | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
place I feel more secure than in the hands of the people Scotland. They | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
know, and they sense and they sense an enormous opportunity to take | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Scotland's future into Scotland's Hants. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Both Alex Salmond and his opponents have tried to use unemployment | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
figures as a reason to vote their way. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Everybody who cares about are united and, I get passionate about our | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
United Kingdom, but I have set out how Scotland can have the best of | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
both worlds. Scottish unemployment is actually lower than in London. | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
The people of Scotland have one more night to ponder. One more night to | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
weigh up what to do. Whatever happens, a myth has been dispelled. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
They say people do not care about politics. They are wrong. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
They are so wrong, those people who say there is not an engagement with | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
politics. You can actually feel it in Scotland right now, everybody | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
feels so passionate about the referendum and we expect a high | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
turnout, possibly over 80%. Two men who have been involved since the | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
very beginning, and who have written a book about it, join me now. Alan | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
Cochrane, and George caravan. Can I start on the positive, the absolute | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
engagement with the Scottish people? It is what you said earlier. The | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
atmosphere is not like an election. It is a festival of politics. For | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
the first day in the entire history of Scotland, ordinary people have a | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
vote that counts. It feels like ringing politics back to the people. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
I have spoken to people all over the world who realise that Scotland is | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
leading the way. Are you surprised that has come down | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
to this? That we are so close? I am not sure the opinion polls will | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
be correct. The interesting thing about engagement is that people are | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
not engaging with the argument, the yes people are speaking to the yes | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
people, they know people are speaking to the gnome people. I am | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
not sure that there are many not sure that there are many | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
undecided. I have just not sure that there are many | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
interview with Chilean television. People around the world are | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
fascinated. But what they ask is why on earth is Scotland trying to break | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
away from the UK? You get that quite a bit, that | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
people who are voting now are too scared to say so. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
I sense that people have made up their minds. No fighting, no | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
rights... It has gotten a bit more | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
acrimonious. Everybody says that, but we argue, | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
we do not shoot each other. That is the lesson the world is taking. If | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
you can settle different and seek self-government in a peaceful way, | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
after that, there will be many more, other countries following us. | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
The day of the countries is gone. That is what the campaign is about. | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
I want to give you each a case to state your case. | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
I cannot understand why Scotland would wish to break away from a | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
successful country. A successful union. We have been together 300 | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
years. The UK is a brilliant growing economy. The envy of Europe. For all | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
the wrong reasons a leap in the dark is being proposed. We should not do | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
it. George? | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
It is not about nationality. It is about taking over your own life. | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
Ordinary people, organising things. Government is too far away. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
Everybody knows that people have turned off politics and politicians. | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
It is too far away. We want to bring it back to the people. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
What is this about them? Exactly. We want to make the | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
decisions here, not Westminster. How do Scots feel differently from | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
other people in the United Kingdom? Can I ask you, if there is a | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
difference, if the values are different? | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
It is not an ethnic thing, let's be clear for anybody watching. My wife | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
is English, my father was born there, my sister lives there, | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
500,000 people will vote in Scotland tomorrow who come from the rest of | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
the UK. It is not about ethnicity. 160,000 EU citizens here have the | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
vote tomorrow. What they are voting for his inclusive politics, seeking | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
social justice, we do not want to be thrown out of the EU, the way the | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Tories want to throw us out. Similarly I am a British mongrel. | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
And English wife, an Irish granny, children living in England, two | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
grandson exactly! But I don't want them to be | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
foreigners to one another. I want them all to be hits. If his will | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
when -- I want them all to be British. If his lot win, I cannot be | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
British anymore. We'll get you a special passport! | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
The undecideds will be crucial tomorrow and the opinion polls are | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
saying it will be too close to call. A momentous, historic day ahead. | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
Thank you very much. Spain's Prime Minister, | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
Mariano Rajoy, has said independence referendums | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
are bad for the European Union. He told the Spanish parliament | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
the EU had been built to integrate His remarks come as the Catalan | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
regional parliament prepares to vote on a resolution calling | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
for a Scottish-style referendum Mr Rajoy also warned that it could | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
take years for an independent Let's pick up that point with | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
Independent EU analyst Geoff Meade - Alex Salmond likes to say it is a | :11:42. | :11:58. | |
given that an independent Scotland would be part of the European Union. | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
How does it look to you? From the day this referendum date | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
was known, leaders of the EU have said, it is just not that simple. | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
You might think it should be. Scotland is obviously an active | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
member already so would not have to go through all the services you | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
might think. It is not just the Spanish prime minister who is | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
indicating it could take years to renegotiate. Lots of officials are | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
not turn their heads above the parapet publicly, they do not. But | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
behind the scenes, they say, it will take years. Scotland will need to | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
reapply. There is the complicated relationship already Scotland | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
believes the UK, because of course soon we will come up against a UK | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
referendum on EU membership, and there is a wonderful irony. The odds | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
are that if Scotland is out of the UK in Britain, the residual Britain, | :13:07. | :13:15. | |
microphone to leave -- might vote. But let's say that the UK stayed in. | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
And took Scotland years for membership. What Scotland wants more | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
than Westminster is EU membership and it would be a wonderful irony if | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
the romp was in the EU and Scotland had to wait. All we are getting here | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
is noises from the EU, the parliament, the commission, saying, | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
this will be a bureaucratic nightmare. To use the cliche, it is | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
uncharted territory. And yet, the SNP would say, hang on, | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
the Scots are keen Europeans. We provide a huge amount of the EU | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
energy. Oil. Fish stocks. How could you do without them? | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
It is a good question. But going back to the Catalan experience there | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
is no appetite in Spain to usher Scotland in quickly as an | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
independent member because what signal would that send to Catalunya? | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
It is chomping at the bit for a referendum. It has been denied. If | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
Scotland simply signed a bit of paper and came into the EU, or | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
stayed in the EU, and an independent and, Catalunya would say, if they | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
can, we can. There are movements in Italy, Flemish movements here in | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
Belgium, if they see that this is easy they will want to do it too. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
That is one reason why some member states. Want to make it easy. And | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
also it has to be, any formal application, to join separately, it | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
has to be ratified by all countries. That process alone, even | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
if they are willing, can take years. As I say, countries like Italy, | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
Belgium, France, certainly Spain, will not necessarily vote. If you | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
don't have all member states including the residual UK saying yes | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
they're never happen. Thank you very much. | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
Later on, we will hear how Czechoslovakia coped with its | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
separation into two halves. President Barack Obama has said | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
emphatically that he will not commit US troops to another ground war | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
in Iraq. Speaking after a military briefing, | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
Obama said the battle against Islamic State militants in Iraq and | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
Syria requires a broad coalition, with some nations assisting the US | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
with airstrikes, while others focus The American forces that have been | :15:44. | :15:57. | |
deployed to Iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. They will | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
support Iraqi forces on the ground. As they fight for their own country | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
against these terrorists. As your commander and chief, I will not | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
war in Iraq. After a decade of massive ground deployments, it is | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
more effective to use our unique capabilities in support of partners | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
on the ground so they can secure their own countries' futures. That | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
is the only solution that will succeed over the long-term. | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
The BBC's Barbara Plett-Usher is in Washington. | :16:42. | :16:42. | |
Barbara, only yesterday the most senior military officer | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
there General Martin Dempsey said he might recommend ground troops, | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
are there differences of opinion at the highest level about | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Not necessarily. What General Dempsey said is that he believed the | :16:53. | :17:03. | |
coalition that President Obama is assembling will be sufficient to | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
take on Islamic State but he also said that the president had asked to | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
be advised on a case-by-case basis and if he felt the coalition was not | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
adequate to the task he would make recommendations which might include | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
ground forces. That might be the Army signalling it should be on the | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
ground or it might not. One thing can be said, ground forces are the | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
weakest part of the strategy which is, for the Americans, to bomb | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
Islamic State from the air and for the | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Islamic State from the air and for Iraqi forces to be fighting them on | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
the ground. They need to be built up. General Dempsey said only half | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
the brigades are in a position to partner effectively with US troops. | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
There is a plan to train and equip them. Hundreds of advisers from the | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
US have been sent to Iraq to do that. No one can say for certain how | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
the war is going to evolve. Now a look at some | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
of the day's other news. Gunmen in northern Nigeria | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
have stormed a teacher training One student told the BBC that | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
he'd counted 17 dead bodies. The gunmen set off an explosion | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
and fired repeatedly on students. The Islamist militant group | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
Boko Haram has carried out similar Reports from Kosovo say that police | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
have arrested 15 people on suspicion of recruiting fighters for | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
the militant group Islamic State. Local media say that among those | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
arrested are prominent clerics. They were arrested | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
in a police operation spread Ukraine's prime minister has told | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
a cabinet meeting that one million civil servants will be screened | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
for loyalty under a new law which The government blames | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
the previous administration for fostering corruption | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
and serving Russia's interests. A new experimental vaccine for Ebola | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
is to be tested on humans Trials of the vaccine have been | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
fast-tracked to help stem the Ebola Results from animal trials are said | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
to have been promising and the drug will now be given to 60 | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
healthy volunteers in Oxford. Our Medical correspondent, | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
Fergus Walsh reports. Could this be what | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
finally stops Ebola? This vaccine has never been | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
tested on humans until today. Ruth Atkins heard the call | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
for volunteers on the radio while driving home from work | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
and became the first of 60 people It's that one step and I'm part | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
of that first step, and it gets that vaccine, | :19:32. | :19:40. | |
they know they've got the right And that's going to make | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
a difference to people's lives, That will become clear | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
in just a few weeks. Normally it would take years | :19:48. | :19:57. | |
of human trials before a completely But the research here | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
in Oxford is being fast tracked And all being well, by the end of | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
the year, around 10,000 doses of the jab will be available to immunise | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
health workers in West Africa. This is why the vaccine is | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
so desperately needed. In Liberia, the health service | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
has been overwhelmed. Men, women, children, the virus | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
has claimed the lives of all ages. A key question | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
for the scientist heading the Oxford There is absolutely no risk of | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
this vaccine giving anyone Ebola. Because nothing came out | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
of the Ebola virus and went We've used modern technology, we use | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
a carrier, that is another virus which is safe and has been used for | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
lots of vaccine types, and just put one DNA sequence, a tiny fraction | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
of the Ebola genome, into it. The vaccine can't come a moment | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
too soon for West Africa where communities and whole economies | :21:07. | :21:10. | |

the Czech side was Prime Minister, There was | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
a dispute over gold reserves. You are now using | :22:23. | :22:34. | |
the wrong argument. It is very easy to divide | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
the country. The number of people in the | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
Czech Republic and the That simple equation couldn't | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
be applied everywhere. A temporary currency union | :22:50. | :23:03. | |
collapsed after six weeks. The Slovak currency | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
devalued massively. But in Bratislava, despite a rocky | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
start, the Slovaks have caught up. The Slovak GDP per capita was | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
62% the Czech GDP per capita. Just now, a few days ago, | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
Eurostat announced that Slovakia has the same GDP per capita as the | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
Czech Republic now. Today, Czechs and Slovaks regard | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
their Velvet Divorce as a success, but that does not mean that there | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
is not nostalgia for Czechoslovakia. Of course, today everybody is | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
happy that it happened that way with no war or something. | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
A gentle way. Still, | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
there are a few things which are in Well, unlike the Czechs and Slovaks, | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
the voice of Scientists here in the UK have | :23:58. | :24:08. | |
discovered that King Richard III died in the thick of battle after | :24:09. | :24:20. | |
losing his helmet and receiving Richard III was the last English | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
monarch to die fighting, in the Battle of Bosworth more than | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
500 years ago. Scans of his bones suggest that | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
nine of 11 wounds, which were clearly inflicted in combat, were | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
directed to the sovereign's skull. His remains were found under a car | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
park in Leicester two years ago. The golden era of America's space | :24:40. | :24:58. | |
age may seem consigned to history but NASA is giving up to send rocket | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
into space. July 2011, and a moment in history. | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
The space shuttle Atlantis makes its final landing at the Kennedy space | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
Centre in Florida. The USA's manned missions to the stars comes to a | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
halt. At least for a while. Three, two, one. Zero. But now it is lived | :25:20. | :25:28. | |
off once again, and in a very American touch, it is the private | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
sector that is leading the way. NASA is signing a deal with Boeing to | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
build a new generation of craft, effectively space taxis, to carry | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
astronauts to the International space Station. They's announcement | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
sets the stage for what promises to be the most ambitious and exciting | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
chapter in the history of NASA and human space flight. From day one, | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
the Obama administration has made it very clear that the greatest nation | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
on earth should not be dependent on any other nation to get into space. | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Particularly when that nation is Russia, hardly America's best friend | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
at the moment, even if the astronauts to get along. It costs | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
the US around $70 million per astronauts for a trip to the | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
International space Station. This new deal may make quite a | :26:19. | :26:26. | |
difference. We will have so who knows how many orbiting facilities | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
which will be visited not only by government astronauts of every | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
country, but Private citizens or foreign sovereign nations or mixes | :26:33. | :26:41. | |
thereof. NASA planes the first -- planning the first mission to 2017, | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
and hope it is the first step to the next giant leap, a mission to Mars. | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
That is all from us, thank you for watching. | :26:52. | :27:00. | |
So far, September has been exceptionally dry. For Wales, less | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
than one millimetre of rain recorded. Most places will stay dry | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
but we have still got a problem with mist and fog in the morning and | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
persistent cloud in the east. There is the risk of some showers in the | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
next few days, the low in the Bay of Biscay is throwing up more moisture. | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
We could see some showers to south-west England | :27:21. | :27:22. |
