$:/STARTFEED. It's Monday 15th October. This is Newsround. Coming

:00:07.:00:11.

your way today: We're live in Edinburgh on an

:00:11.:00:14.

historic day for Scotland and the rest of the UK!

:00:14.:00:17.

And also on way - more on the daredevil who jumped from the edge

:00:17.:00:24.

of space. And not quite as epic. The lucky

:00:24.:00:34.
:00:34.:00:45.

escape for teenage skydiver who got Hi guys - I'm Ricky. First up,

:00:45.:00:49.

today could be a defining moment in the history of Great Britain. A

:00:49.:00:52.

deal was signed just a few hours ago that takes the decision on

:00:52.:00:56.

whether Scotland stays part of the UK - out of the hands of

:00:56.:00:59.

politicians and leaves it up to the people. Hayley is in Edinburgh

:00:59.:01:06.

where it's all been happening and we can cross to her live.

:01:06.:01:09.

I'm here in Edinburgh, just round the corner from the parliamentary

:01:09.:01:16.

buildings. And today at one o'clock, Prime Minister David Cameron and

:01:16.:01:19.

the First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond, signed a deal

:01:19.:01:29.
:01:29.:01:30.

agreeing to let people in Scotland decide on their future. The two

:01:30.:01:38.

leaders shook hands just behind me. We have spoken about this a lot,

:01:38.:01:43.

and it can get quite confusing. You have got politicians, who are

:01:43.:01:53.
:01:53.:01:59.

fermenters, trying to convince the Independence will give us the

:01:59.:02:05.

opportunity to make Scotland the country and we know it can be.

:02:05.:02:12.

Something very special is in danger. Scottish politics is about a

:02:12.:02:20.

positive vision for the future. think we are better off together.

:02:20.:02:29.

just don't think it is necessary. Stand on its own two feet. We're

:02:29.:02:32.

not in the business of ripping things up, we are developing a new

:02:32.:02:36.

relationship. This is the right decision for Scotland and also

:02:36.:02:42.

right for the United Kingdom. People of Scotland, you will

:02:42.:02:52.
:02:52.:02:58.

decide! I think Scotland would be So the people of Scotland will be

:02:58.:03:04.

able to vote yes or no. But also, people aged 16 and 17 will be able

:03:04.:03:10.

to vote for the first time in British history. Thank you for

:03:10.:03:15.

joining us. A big question has been asked today, what other points that

:03:15.:03:19.

we know from this? At the big thing we know after today it is when this

:03:20.:03:25.

is going to happen. Autumn 2014, we don't know the exact date, but we

:03:25.:03:29.

will find out soon. It will be a straightforward question, yes or No

:03:30.:03:33.

to independence. There was some suggestion about to be more

:03:33.:03:38.

complicated, it will not be. People who are 14 and 15 now will be able

:03:38.:03:42.

to vote. It is not just the leaders, though it is going to be going on

:03:42.:03:50.

in the next two years? That right, perhaps some celebrities involved,

:03:50.:03:55.

Sean Connery, Alan Cumming, they are in favour of independence for

:03:55.:03:59.

Scotland. Not so many celebrities on the other side, but they know

:03:59.:04:02.

they need to get young people involved to persuade them to buy it.

:04:02.:04:09.

Thank you very much. What we are looking for is a decision from the

:04:09.:04:12.

public. The politicians can have their say, but at the end of the

:04:12.:04:22.

day, it comes down to the public. We have two years to wait for that.

:04:22.:04:25.

Stay with us, still to come we've got all those extraordinary

:04:25.:04:29.

pictures from the record-breaking skyfall on the way.

:04:29.:04:32.

A Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban has just arrived in the UK

:04:32.:04:37.

for life saving treatment. Malala Yousafzai, who campaigns for girls'

:04:37.:04:40.

rights in her country, was targeted as she was travelling on her school

:04:40.:04:49.

bus. Doctors operated on her last week. But we found out this morning

:04:49.:04:52.

that she'll soon be flown over here, where medical teams will spend a

:04:52.:05:00.

long time treating her, to get her fully better again. She has been

:05:00.:05:03.

unconscious and in a very serious condition since she was attacked on

:05:03.:05:07.

her way home from school six days ago. Doctors here say they have

:05:07.:05:11.

done everything they can to try and save her life, but she now needs

:05:11.:05:17.

more specialist treatment, that is why she's being sent to the UK. Her

:05:17.:05:21.

progress will be followed very closely indeed by millions of

:05:21.:05:27.

people across Pakistan and around the world. They have been shocked

:05:27.:05:31.

that extremists would target a schoolgirl just because she

:05:31.:05:38.

believed in education for girls and they didn't. She has just touched

:05:38.:05:45.

down in the UK and will be taken to a special hospital in Birmingham.

:05:45.:05:48.

Plans to build a new stadium for Liverpool Ffootball Club have been

:05:48.:05:51.

scrapped. The team's bosses had started working on a new ground,

:05:51.:05:57.

but have had to stop because of money worries. The Reds now will be

:05:57.:06:04.

staying at Anfield, which will getting a �300 million makeover.

:06:04.:06:11.

Were you one of the millions of people who were glued to the

:06:11.:06:20.

screen? The daredevil skydived a massive 24 miles from his floating

:06:20.:06:23.

pod way up in the statosphere to the solid ground back on earth.

:06:23.:06:26.

Felix said after last night's excitement, his daredevil days are

:06:26.:06:32.

over, but he'll remember the feeling forever!

:06:32.:06:37.

It looks like a trailer for a new super hero film. Expensive graphics

:06:37.:06:46.

and daredevil stunts. But this is real, and so good. We will show it

:06:46.:06:53.

to you again. With a salute, a false back to earth. He is free

:06:53.:06:58.

falling faster than the speed of sound, more than 830 mph. But then

:06:58.:07:02.

he runs into trouble, spinning head over heels, and that can be

:07:02.:07:12.
:07:12.:07:13.

dangerous. It too much blood rushes to his head, a can faint. Using his

:07:13.:07:16.

experience of more than 2,500 dives, though, he manages to regain

:07:16.:07:19.

control. Then something else goes wrong - you can hear him saying his

:07:19.:07:24.

visor is fogging up. That means he can't see his instruments to know

:07:24.:07:27.

how high he is and, vitally, when to pull his parachute. So he

:07:27.:07:34.

decides to play it safe and pull it early. With the hard bit over,

:07:34.:07:39.

mission control are ecstatic - and mum is very proud. From there it's

:07:39.:07:45.

plain sailing the rest of the way. I had tears in my eyes when I was

:07:45.:07:48.

coming back, because you are sitting there, and you thought

:07:49.:07:52.

about that moment so many times, how it would feel and how it would

:07:52.:07:58.

look like, and this is way bigger the night in dissipated. Felix was

:07:58.:08:01.

done in just under 10 minutes - falling to his knees in celebration

:08:02.:08:07.

and exhaustion. I expect we will see a film of this soon. I wonder

:08:07.:08:17.
:08:17.:08:22.

who could sing the theme tune? Now to another skydiver who had a

:08:22.:08:24.

pretty lucky escape. 18-year-old Liam Byrne crashed into a tree

:08:24.:08:34.
:08:34.:08:35.

after his parachute didn't open. He took it all in his stride. At first

:08:35.:08:40.

I was glad I didn't hit the church, I didn't hit the fence below, but

:08:40.:08:44.

it was a bit scary. I just made sure I grab on to the tree, I was

:08:44.:08:54.
:08:54.:08:54.
