The fall-out from the referendum continues - the First Minister has

:00:15.:00:17.

accused the pro-union parties of tricking voters into opting for No.

:00:18.:00:21.

But the Labour leader Ed Miliband said extra powers

:00:22.:00:25.

which he pledged for the Scottish Parliament, along with David Cameron

:00:26.:00:28.

and Nick Clegg, will go ahead. Here's Andrew Kerr.

:00:29.:00:38.

If Alex Salmond's planning to go as First Minister, but he's not leaving

:00:39.:00:46.

the debate. He is doubting the far more powers made by Better Together.

:00:47.:00:50.

It is the people who were persuaded to vote No who were misled, gold,

:00:51.:00:55.

tricked effectively. They are the ones who are really angry, so if Ed

:00:56.:00:59.

Miliband and David Cameron are watching this, then I would be

:01:00.:01:05.

worried more about the anger of the No voters than the opinion of the

:01:06.:01:10.

Yes voters on this matter. The Labour leader Ed Miliband said the

:01:11.:01:14.

vote was a wake-up call for the elite at his party's conference in

:01:15.:01:17.

Manchester. He said there should be a UK

:01:18.:01:21.

Constitutional Convention. There are clearly squabbles about the new

:01:22.:01:24.

powers, but there was a promise he would not draw back.

:01:25.:01:27.

We are going to deliver on this promise, and I know we have got a

:01:28.:01:32.

big job to do to reach out to those people who voted Yes, who are Labour

:01:33.:01:36.

voters, who were saying, I am so desperate to get rid of these

:01:37.:01:39.

Tories, I am so fed up with the way the country is run, that I want us

:01:40.:01:44.

to leave the United Kingdom. I really want to send a message to

:01:45.:01:48.

them. We are going to reach out, we are going to show we are going to

:01:49.:01:52.

make a difference was not Number ten has also dismissed Mr Salmond's

:01:53.:01:55.

claim. As the referendum fallout continues

:01:56.:01:59.

the SNP will also be kept occupied with installing a newly than picking

:02:00.:02:00.

a deputy. Our correspondent David Porter has

:02:01.:02:01.

been watching the story develop, as the Labour leader Ed Miliband

:02:02.:02:03.

arrived for the start of the party's Both Downing Street and the Labour

:02:04.:02:16.

Party have been at pains today to say there will be no backsliding,

:02:17.:02:22.

that Scotland will get more devolution. Here in Manchester, Ed

:02:23.:02:27.

Miliband said no efforts, nobodys, more power would be coming to

:02:28.:02:31.

Scotland. No one disputes that after last week's referendum that Scotland

:02:32.:02:35.

should get more power. The issue is whether it should be joined to

:02:36.:02:39.

changes in England. Labour say that can be dealt with separately, the

:02:40.:02:42.

Conservatives say what happens in Scotland must be linked to what

:02:43.:02:45.

happens in England as well. But the Westminster leaders are acutely

:02:46.:02:50.

aware that if, for any reason, devolution to Scotland is slowed up,

:02:51.:02:54.

there will be great anger in Scotland, and they know that they

:02:55.:02:57.

could suffer as a result at the ballot box.

:02:58.:02:58.

Political leaders have attended a special service of reconciliation at

:02:59.:03:00.

The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland,

:03:01.:03:04.

the Right Reverend John Chalmers, called for unity after

:03:05.:03:06.

the divisions of the referendum. Alexandra Mackenzie reports.

:03:07.:03:15.

This seemed unimaginable just days ago, yet this morning, differences

:03:16.:03:23.

were Kast aside by rival politicians. A handshake, symbolic

:03:24.:03:27.

of a coming together, at least for a moment.

:03:28.:03:34.

The First Minister and Deputy First Minister were absent, but others

:03:35.:03:40.

stood shoulder to shoulder. The arguments and debate, perhaps not

:03:41.:03:47.

forgotten, but left for another day. Post-referendum, there are those who

:03:48.:03:54.

are elated, or at least relieved, and there are those who are

:03:55.:03:57.

desperately disappointed. Feelings like these will take time to heal,

:03:58.:04:05.

and I want no one to think that I think there is a quick fix or an

:04:06.:04:09.

easy dusting down. The euphoria and the disappointment

:04:10.:04:15.

is raw, but in this service of reconciliation, symbolism and drew

:04:16.:04:19.

all parties together, as five flames became one.

:04:20.:04:27.

Followed by a further show of unity. The service was a welcome

:04:28.:04:31.

opportunity for all of Scotland to come together to reflect on the

:04:32.:04:35.

outcome of Thursday's referendum, which, although it was not

:04:36.:04:39.

personally to my liking, it was a triumph for democracy.

:04:40.:04:43.

I hope that that gesture will be replicated around kitchen tables and

:04:44.:04:47.

workplaces, pubs, clubs and school gates in the days ahead. There are

:04:48.:04:51.

no longer No supporters, there are no longer Yes supporters. It is just

:04:52.:04:56.

us. Our fellow Scots need to come together and build that better

:04:57.:05:04.

nation. Is this a symbolic gesture or the

:05:05.:05:07.

way forward for politicians as they enter it intense negotiations, or

:05:08.:05:09.

for the people of Scotland, who cast their votes just three days ago?

:05:10.:05:12.

Investigations are under way after shots were fired at a house and

:05:13.:05:14.

The first incident happened when the car was targeted at

:05:15.:05:19.

The Murrays Brae. A short time later,

:05:20.:05:21.

a firearm was also discharged at a house in Gilmerton Dykes Drive.

:05:22.:05:25.

There are no reports of any injuries, but the police are

:05:26.:05:28.

Football now, and in the Premiership's Dundee derby,

:05:29.:05:33.

there was joy for the Tangerine half of the city at Dens Park.

:05:34.:05:37.

Mario Bilate's penalty opened the scoring for United.

:05:38.:05:40.

By the time Keith Watson headed in, it was 4-0.

:05:41.:05:45.

Dundee managed an injury-time consolation goal, but it ended 4-1.

:05:46.:05:51.

And there was one other match, which ended Celtic 1, Motherwell 1.

:05:52.:05:56.

In rugby's Pro12, Edinburgh were thrashed 62-13

:05:57.:05:59.

The home side scored nine tries to Edinburgh's one.

:06:00.:06:05.

Let's get the weather forecast now, and it's Gillian

:06:06.:06:08.

Thank you. Good evening to year. A cracker of a day across much of

:06:09.:06:19.

central and southern Scotland. Clear skies will make for a chilly night,

:06:20.:06:24.

and there could be a touch of grass frost in rural parts. Some patchy

:06:25.:06:28.

mist and fog to start the day tomorrow. If you are heading out

:06:29.:06:31.

around eight o'clock, a chilly start. Low single figures in the

:06:32.:06:37.

countryside, more like ten or 11 in towns and cities. Dry pretty much

:06:38.:06:40.

across the board, and brightness developing where the mist and fog

:06:41.:06:44.

clears, but a thick belt of cloud for the north-west Highlands, some

:06:45.:06:47.

spots of rain in Lewis and Harris, and that rain band will edge

:06:48.:06:51.

eastwards, getting into the north-west Highlands, Orkney and

:06:52.:06:54.

Shetland by the end of the afternoon. Further south, we hang on

:06:55.:06:59.

to the dry, settled weather, with good spells of sunshine and a very

:07:00.:07:06.

similar story elsewhere across the UK, cloud tending to bubble up a bit

:07:07.:07:09.

across Northern Ireland, lovely sunshine for Wales and western

:07:10.:07:11.

England, and more cloud towards the east. Temperature wise, mid-to high

:07:12.:07:14.

teens for most of us. Tomorrow evening, that front sinks south and

:07:15.:07:18.

eastwards, affecting most part overnight. By Tuesday, it clears to

:07:19.:07:22.

the south, and a lot of dry weather once again, just a scattering of

:07:23.:07:24.

showers in the North later on.

:07:25.:07:26.
