:00:53. > :01:00.I am angry at the way the British people are being misled.
:01:01. > :01:02.I think their campaign is verging on the squalid.
:01:03. > :01:06.What they have said about leaving is fundamentally dishonest.

:02:29. > :02:31.You join or you don't join, but it isn't true, is it?
:02:32. > :02:33.That is what John Major was talking about.
:02:34. > :02:35.Frankly, I don't mind whether Turkey joins the EU, provided
:02:36. > :02:41.Turkey is bound up with the issue of immigration, and the Leave
:02:42. > :02:43.campaign says outside the EU, total net migration to Britain
:02:44. > :02:46.could be cut to the tens of thousands, a pledge

:02:53. > :02:55.wages for working people, it is also a case that they put

:03:32. > :03:33.We have a short time to go until the referendum,
:03:34. > :03:37.and what people want to hear are the arguments.
:03:38. > :03:41.What we're setting out on the Leave side of the campaign is an agenda
:03:42. > :03:44.for the Government to take back control on June the 23rd of a lot
:03:45. > :03:49.of things that really matter to the people of this country.
:03:50. > :03:52.There is a huge choice in front of voters,
:03:53. > :03:54.the biggest in a generation, and in Leeds today the rival
:03:55. > :03:56.campaigns were trying to clinch the undecided.
:03:57. > :03:58.The arguments are fierce because the vote is getting close.
:03:59. > :04:13.With me now is BBC political correspondent Tom Bateman.
:04:14. > :04:20.We were seeing that the acrimonious incredible. How will this party
:04:21. > :04:24.govern after the vote? What is really interesting is that you have
:04:25. > :04:27.a former Prime Minister, Sir John Major, who during his time in office
:04:28. > :04:34.was characterised and often caricatured as being rather monotone
:04:35. > :04:35.and Dell, and yet what you had here was an incredibly spiky,
:04:36. > :04:39.uncharacteristically brazen intervention into the referendum
:04:40. > :04:45.campaign in which he was not only criticising those who want it in to
:04:46. > :04:50.leave the European Union, but these are senior members of his own party.
:04:51. > :04:53.He is a grant the figure of the Conservative Party, really laying
:04:54. > :04:57.into people who sit around the government table here in the UK. It
:04:58. > :05:04.shows you the heat this campaign is generating and the trouble they will
:05:05. > :05:08.have tried to stick themselves back together after the referendum. If
:05:09. > :05:11.one thing is clear, whoever wins the referendum, there will still be the
:05:12. > :05:16.same government running the UK. And it is being run by people who are
:05:17. > :05:21.now in open warfare. This is openly hostile behaviour between members of
:05:22. > :05:26.the governing party in the UK. That will present a clear challenge after
:05:27. > :05:31.the referendum. Just over two weeks to go. Do we have any indication
:05:32. > :05:35.which way this vote is going to go? Well, there is a cause polling
:05:36. > :05:40.evidence, as you would expect. However, it is important to say that
:05:41. > :05:44.recent experience in the UK, there was a general election last year in
:05:45. > :05:46.which the polls got things disastrously wrong and predicted an
:05:47. > :05:51.outcome that didn't bear fruit at all. A lot of the campaign then was
:05:52. > :05:53.spent discussing the possible permutations of a college in
:05:54. > :05:57.government, because that was what the polls at the time was adjusting.
:05:58. > :06:03.Lots of people have tried to learn the lessons from that and not put
:06:04. > :06:08.too much emphasis on what the polls are suggesting. They have tended to
:06:09. > :06:12.be around neck and neck, with perhaps a bit more emphasis on the
:06:13. > :06:16.Remain side. However, more recent polls have suggested that Leave
:06:17. > :06:20.might be pulling ahead. But it is important to treat those with a
:06:21. > :06:24.pinch of salt. We also had another lesson recently in British political
:06:25. > :06:26.history, which was the Scottish referendum campaign, Scotland
:06:27. > :06:31.answering the question over whether it wanted to become independent. One
:06:32. > :06:34.of the campaigning sides did very loud and energetic. You couldn't
:06:35. > :06:38.miss their campaigners in the streets, and yet the result went the
:06:39. > :06:42.other way towards the quiet majority who knew how they were going to
:06:43. > :06:46.vote. So it is hard to tell in these binary decision referendums, which
:06:47. > :06:48.way it will go. That is why you are seeing so much heat generated, as
:06:49. > :06:51.the pressure is on. Thank you. The United States has been stepping

:08:44. > :08:46.he tells us he dropped a 1000lb bomb We had no preplanned target,
:08:47. > :08:51.as it were, and then we talked on the radio with some of our forces
:08:52. > :08:54.and we found out what our target So you're talking to US
:08:55. > :08:58.people on the ground? It's not just US air power helping
:08:59. > :09:10.in the push towards Raqqa. Nor is America the only outside

:10:27. > :10:33.So that is huge, what Muhammad Ali did. He was a man of strength, a man
:10:34. > :10:37.of courage. Everyone admires him now, but there was a time when
:10:38. > :10:41.nobody liked him when he made an unpopular stance. But the message in
