Hi, I'm Jenny with your Newsround update. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Coming up. Scotland's shipbuilding heritage in Greenock... | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
And the supersize squid that's causing a stir. | :00:11. | :00:27. | |
There's just 24 hours before voters go to the polls to decide | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
if Scotland will become independent from the rest of the UK. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Both sides are trying to persuade people who haven't made up | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
So as part of Newsround's road trip around Scotland to find out what | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
people think about the big vote, Martin's been to historic Greenock - | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
an industrial town by the Firth of Clyde - | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
where shipbuilding's fallen dramatically. | :00:46. | :00:46. | |
Martin went to find out what life is really like there. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Shipbuilding has long been a part of Scottish history. It became | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
important in the 19th century when steam power began to replace sail | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
powered. Ships were made out of Ireland for people all around the | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
world in Greenock. It is a town famous for the ship holding. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Companies need ships to carry food and cloth to other countries. But | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
during the 1960s and 1970s, ship building went into decline from | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
during the 1960s and 1970s, ship competition -- through competition | :01:22. | :01:22. | |
from other countries. Many people lost their jobs. Today some ships | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
are still built here. I wanted to find out what it is like growing up | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
in an area like this. So I came to meet some of the children. I play in | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
the garden or go to my friends house, or play video games because | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
that is not much I can do. We have a park at the end of the road. What do | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
you think could be improved in the area you are from? Better looking | :01:48. | :01:56. | |
buildings, because some of them have cracked bricks and look ugly. What | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
about things to do? I would like a park nearby because there are only a | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
couple of parks I can go to, but they are far away from my house. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
This area has seen a lot of changes over the years, but still plays a | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
part in the ship building industry, but it can be a battle to keep | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
part in the ship building industry, shipyards open, and one was almost | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
closed last month. The future is still uncertain for areas like this. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Well, with so little time left before the | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
polling stations open, you sent in your questions about independence | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
and we got our political reporter Chris Mason to answer them. | :02:34. | :02:44. | |
What money would rattle around in your pocket? The yes campaign say it | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
would still be pounds and pence, just as no. Others say that would | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
not be possible, and Scotland could have its own currency or join the | :03:02. | :03:02. | |
euro. And other controversial issue. This is a big question. There are | :03:03. | :03:14. | |
the Olympic Games in a couple of years, and under which flag would | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
Scotland's stars perform? It looks as if they could either perform for | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
Team GB or team Scotland, because it is not easy to sort out a team in | :03:30. | :03:40. | |
time. Uncertainty around that one. Those who want an independent | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Scotland say that the Queen would stay, and she would become the Queen | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
of Scots, just as she is the Queen in England and Northern Ireland and | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
Wales and many other countries around the world. There is an | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
acceptance that if it is a yes vote, the Queen will stay. This one is | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
ahead scratcher. I had no idea. I picked up my phone, phone some | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
experts, they have no idea either. There is nothing in the rules to | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
determine what would happen if there is an absolute dead heat. | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
And you can see all the latest information about | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
Now, look at this rare giant squid - it's female, has eight arms, | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
it's over a meter long and weighs more than 55 stones. | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
Now, experts in New Zealand are examining it, watched online | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
They say its tentacles could have been twice | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
And you can see all the results from the Champions League, | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
including how Liverpool and Arsenal got on, on our website. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Newsround is back right here in about half an hour. | :04:52. | :04:55. |
