$:/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. |
