Scotland's party leaders have been back on the campaign

:00:09.:00:11.

trail, after the last televised leaders' debate.

:00:12.:00:14.

It was the question of a second independence referendum that saw

:00:15.:00:17.

the liveliest exchanges, with each party accusing each other

:00:18.:00:21.

Here's our political correspondent, Nick Eardley.

:00:22.:00:33.

The campaigning continues, just days until the election, a little bit of

:00:34.:00:38.

rain was not going to get in the way.

:00:39.:00:42.

Hours earlier and Nicola Sturgeon had been with other readers in the

:00:43.:00:47.

grand and dry Hopetoun house. One issue sparked the most heated

:00:48.:00:53.

exchanges, the question of a second independent referendum. It is not

:00:54.:00:57.

good for our country, economy or encouraging jobs and growth that all

:00:58.:01:01.

of the things we want to see. Seeing and respecting the results does not

:01:02.:01:04.

mean that we all need to crawl away and shut up about it. Do they not

:01:05.:01:12.

get the message? We want to stay in the UK. You are into different

:01:13.:01:15.

papers today saying yes we might have won and now you're seeing now

:01:16.:01:20.

we want, try to pull the rollover peoples eyes. The no politician has

:01:21.:01:24.

the right to stand in the wake of the Democratic will the Scottish

:01:25.:01:27.

the right to stand in the wake of people. The question back on the

:01:28.:01:30.

lips of the Scottish people today and the blame game over who wants to

:01:31.:01:35.

keep the debate going. It is the side that won that referendum who

:01:36.:01:39.

seem to be continually raising its time and time again. Before that

:01:40.:01:43.

referendum and remember conservatives and Labour Party

:01:44.:01:46.

politicians say we have no fear of a referendum, bring it on. Now they

:01:47.:01:50.

seem infuriated at the notion that Scotland will ever consider this

:01:51.:01:56.

question again. It is Ruth Davidson and Nicola Sturgeon who seem

:01:57.:01:59.

determined to keep us in those are the means of the past. Let's focus

:02:00.:02:03.

on the future and how we can use the new powers of Parliament to ask the

:02:04.:02:09.

richest 1% to pay their fair share. The Conservatives and Liberal

:02:10.:02:13.

Democrats argue it is the SNP serving uncertainty. It is not

:02:14.:02:16.

acceptable for the First Minister to say she can wake up one morning, see

:02:17.:02:20.

an opinion poll she likes and take us back to the sort of debate and

:02:21.:02:28.

discord we had with a snap referendum. People are angry that 18

:02:29.:02:31.

months after the referendum, which was supposed to be the biggest

:02:32.:02:35.

democratic experience of our lifetime, the SNP do not think it is

:02:36.:02:39.

any good any longer and what another campaign starting in a few weeks'

:02:40.:02:44.

time. Nicola Sturgeon said there would have to be a change in the

:02:45.:02:47.

electoral weather for another vote to be held. She said it is others

:02:48.:02:53.

who keep returning to the issue. The other parties want to talk about

:02:54.:02:55.

independence more than I have been doing in the selection. Everybody

:02:56.:03:00.

knows I support independence, it is no surprise, but Scotland will only

:03:01.:03:05.

become independent if that is what a majority of people want. There are

:03:06.:03:09.

many issues for voters to ponder ahead of the election, we have heard

:03:10.:03:12.

a lot about tax and education and other issues but this will be the

:03:13.:03:17.

first Hollywood fought since the independence referendum. Last night

:03:18.:03:20.

's exchanges suggest it is an issue that still divides and excites the

:03:21.:03:21.

parties. A leading candidate for UKIP has

:03:22.:03:24.

said the party in Scotland stands 'on the brink of disintegration.'

:03:25.:03:27.

Alan Melville who tops UKIP's Lothian list wants

:03:28.:03:30.

a change in leadership. Yesterday, the West of Scotland

David Coburn, has dismissed Scotland's police watchdog has begun

into the circumstances leading up to the death of Steven Chesney

in Motherwell on Sunday. Airbus Helicopters has

:04:03.:04:10.

lifted its recommendation that a type of Super Puma

:04:11.:04:13.

helicopter be grounded. It claims initial evidence

:04:14.:04:16.

suggests there is no link between Friday's crash and two

:04:17.:04:19.

in the North Sea in 2012. The aftermath of Friday's helicopter

:04:20.:04:35.

crash off the coast of Norway. The emergency services arrived to find

:04:36.:04:39.

survivors among the burning debris, but there were none from the 13

:04:40.:04:46.

occupants. One of those killed was 41-year-old Ian Stewart from

:04:47.:04:48.

Aberdeenshire. His family called him a loving husband and devoted father,

:04:49.:04:54.

thousands of flights that ferry workers out to North Sea platforms

every year. Their temporary grounding has led to some logistical

:05:04.:05:08.

headaches. Offshore workers are now being ferried to the North Sea using

:05:09.:05:12.

other helicopter models, but the company which owns the crash

:05:13.:05:16.

helicopter CHC said it is too early to assign blame. It is a little

:05:17.:05:20.

early to speculate on the reasons for the accident, I would say that

:05:21.:05:24.

we will continue to work very closely with the regulators and the

:05:25.:05:29.

manufacturers to ensure that we find, hopefully the root cause of

:05:30.:05:32.

from the Premiership after being beaten two-one by city

a chance when Edward Ofere finished off a move in the fifty-fourth

some sunshine but overnight tonight the breezy and chilly conditions

:06:52.:06:55.

continue and that is how we start things tomorrow. Fairly frequent

showers but the further east you are the more likely to see some dry

spots and sunshine. Temperatures at ADL are five and 6 degrees, you

the heavy showers could come with hail and the odd rumble of thunder,

too. As we head to the course of Tuesday those showers will extend

elsewhere across the country, but actually the general trend across

:07:23.:07:25.

the course of tomorrow is for those showers to ease off and from many

areas to turn that bit drier, that bit sunnier. Across Northern Ireland

mid-afternoon those showers much lighter than the morning, and really

starting to fade away so some late sunshine for many but the cloud

thickens in the West ahead of a band of rain, which is a weather front
