A first today as shale gas arrived on our shores, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
But what part will it play in Scotland's energy future? | :00:00. | :00:28. | |
The controversial process known as fracking was used to extract | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
What questions does that raise for Scotland's energy policy? | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
Kezia Dugdale wins the struggle for more autonomy | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
We speak to Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill about the return | :00:44. | :00:57. | |
It's not quite made it to its intended destination | :00:58. | :01:09. | |
of Grangemouth yet due to high winds but for the importers of that | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
first shale shipment, the chemical giant INEOS, | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Shale is extracted by fracking or hydraulic fracturing. | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
It's a controversial practice which is currently not allowed | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
The delivery comes as the annual report on the health | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
of the oil and gas sector points to more job losses. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
So what questions does the arrival of American shale raise | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Shale gas for manufacturing, that is the message of the first ever | :01:37. | :01:51. | |
shipment to arrive in Scotland from the US. Here, eating is taken from | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
the gas and used to produce plastic pellets. That means jobs. There are | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
not raw materials to operate Grangemouth. So this is all about | :02:08. | :02:19. | |
securing those 10,000 jobs. Today's shipment is a product of fracking in | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
the US but could it take place here in Scotland? INEOS says we should | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
seriously consider it. The Scottish Parliament narrowly voted to ban it | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
with the SNP abstaining. The Scottish Government has a moratorium | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
in place until it. They have the impact is complete. The issue about | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
importation or production of unconventional gas is hugely | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
controversial. There is debate around the signs around it and that | :02:47. | :03:00. | |
is why we have commissioned research. The UK Government is | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
pro-fracking but Labour say they would impose a ban if elected. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
Critics fear it could have a detrimental impact on the | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
environment and communities. Well, joining me now to discuss | :03:06. | :03:06. | |
that are, in Edinburgh, Friends of the Earth Scotland's | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
director, Dr Richard Dixon, in Dundee, Dr Stuart Paton, | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
who's an adviser to the oil and gas industry, and former chief | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
executive of Dana Petroleum and here in Glasgow, | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Professor Karen Turner, who is director of the Centre | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
for Energy Policy at Strathclyde Richard Dixon, I will come to you | :03:18. | :03:32. | |
first. What did you make of the day and how do you feel about this first | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
shipment arriving in Scotland? There are a number of interesting things | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
today. The First Minister and energy Minister were both invited but they | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
turned out to be too busy. The ship did not manage to block suitors | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
languishing in the fourth. But this is something that INEOS are using to | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
reignite the debate about weather we should have fracking but they are | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
not even using it very well. He thought that probably fracking will | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
never happen in Scotland. INEOS may frack in the North of England if | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
they get their way but he thinks Scotland is a lost cause. We are | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
getting very close signals from ministers and the government and | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
even from INEOS wrote that fracking will probably never happen here. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
There is still a lot we do not know about fracking. We are awaiting the | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
results of investigations you carried out and that is why there is | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
a moratorium on it at the moment. Or do you think about studies be done | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
safety here in a way that does not damage the environment? There are a | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
couple of different aspects. We do not know what the potential in | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Scotland is the shale gas development and until we do, we | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
really will not understand the potential that we have got here. But | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
if we don't do that and decided to go ahead, it would be very important | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
for Scotland. But we will not see it on the scale of the United States | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
but it could be very important in terms of domestic gas supply which | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
we use in our homes and electricity and also chemical production which | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
is hugely important to the Scottish economy. This is just the first | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
step. This shipment will only be used for manufacturing. We're not | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
even looking ahead to energy policy yet. Within this complex issue comic | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
are we asking the right questions about if and when we will need shale | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
gas and whether we should be using it? We need to ask, what is it we | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
use gas for? This is a nice example. It is not our heating or lighting | :05:49. | :05:58. | |
all transport. This is the use of energy and manufacturing processes | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
and it is petrochemicals so ultimately, the deodorant UU 's, the | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
shampoo you use, so it shows this complex mix of energy demand | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
requirements we have. Then there is the big question of how we meet | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
those demands and servers this energy needs. How do you feel about | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
the debate so far? Are we looking at the right places? So far, it has | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
been very polarised. It has focused on the environmental issues or | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
talking about renewables versus taking hydrocarbons out of the | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
ground but this is a good example because the use of gas and | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
manufacturing processes, there is not eight clear renewable | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
alternative. It is industrial energy use. So I think we need to set and | :06:50. | :06:59. | |
think about the wider set of questions. The first one is, what do | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
we use gas for and where will we get it from? All the questions that have | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
come into focus like environmental damage and health concerns, we need | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
to think about whether we have looked at these properly, for the | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Scottish case. Then there is a wider set of questions. We're talking | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
about energy prices. The biggest impact on your wallet comes from | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
movement and energy prices. I do not know what shale gas can offer the | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
fuel property but these are questions we need to ask. It has led | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
to a lowering of energy prices and the US. I am wondering whether you | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
might be able to accept some of that argument, that perhaps if this was | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
proven to be a cheaper alternative to renewable energy, it would make | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
sense to have a bit of even within our energy system. There are two | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
things. First of all, what would the price be? The industry needs to do | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
lots of testing and searching the work-out even if there is a viable | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
industry. They have said that in the UK and have also said that shale gas | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
will not reduce energy prices. So it is not cheap, even if there is | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
plenty of it there. On the bigger picture, we need to keep 80% of the | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
oil, gas and coal on the ground if we are to meet the climate targets | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
agreed at the Paris climate conference before Christmas so | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
adding more carbon to that mix is the last thing we need to do. What | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
do you think of that idea and the concept that by 2020, we could be | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
completely using renewables? I think we very much need a mixture. One of | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
your other interviewees has said that energy and electricity is part | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
of this and another big part is the chemical process and there, we | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
definitely need gas. Within electricity, we need gas for the | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
foreseeable future and we would be better off having that gas is | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
produced locally. We produced a lot of gas from the North Sea. We are | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
sitting on potentially very valuable gas resources right on our doorstep. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
It seems wrong not to explore and see how much of that we have got an | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
use that locally. The value of that to the local Scottish economy in | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
terms of jobs, tax revenue for the government, it could in principle be | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
very important for us. It's wrong not to Lee's considered as part of | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
our energy mix. In terms of the decline in the North Sea, is enough | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
planning ahead being done to consider what might happen when the | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
North Sea gas in particular runs out? We have obviously had very | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
troubled times in the last 2-3 years with the drop in oil price and gas | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
price and obviously a number of companies are struggling with that. | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
The offshore industry is definitely taking steps to reduce its cost base | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
and increase the economic viability. That will be a challenge for | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
onshore. But what the North Americans have shown in shale gas, | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
the cost has come down substantially in the last 2-3 years, very active | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
supply chain and very active industry that has driven down costs | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
and has shown it can be economic, even as the oil and gas prices | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
lower. I would be very excited by the opportunity to work within the | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
shale gas industry in Scotland and find out what we have got there and | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
use that valuable resource on our doorstep. What do you make of the | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
Scottish Government's offshore all and gas industry, and its reluctance | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
to support fracking at the moment? We are in a transition. I would | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
defend the Scottish Government's policy and I would think about oil | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
and gas from the North Sea declining much faster than the government | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
would but we are in a time of transition, meaning we're getting | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
out of oil and gas. It is declining anyway and we need to leave some of | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
it where it is. But the last thing we need to do is get more of it out | :11:30. | :11:38. | |
in the form of shale gas. That is where we should not be going. On the | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
manufacturing point, energy is very important to the economy, and we do | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
need feedstocks for our chemical processes, but we need to look at | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
the future of those and the transition they should be going | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
through. One of the things the French have just done is declared | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
they will have a ban on disposable plastic cups and cutlery and plates. | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
That will save 5 billion cups a year. We use lots of plastic in a | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
terrible wasteful way. We need to turn that around so that the amount | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
of plastic we produce in the smaller. That is a small part of | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
what we need to do with the remaining fossil fuels. But do you | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
think the North Sea industry should now be left alone? We need a planned | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
transition. We are seeing terrible chaos in the industry. We are seeing | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
120,000 people losing their jobs and that is a disaster for individuals | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
and families. A planned transition so we face out the North Sea oil and | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
gas industry in a way that transfers those people skills into something | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
useful, whether that is insulated and all renewables, rather than let | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
it collapse and try and pick up the pieces, which is what we did with | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
the coal industry in Scotland. Let's learn from that terrible disaster | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
and plan for a real transition of sensible period. Is there something | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
immoral to you think about the fact we are willing to import this gas | :13:09. | :13:19. | |
but not extracting ourselves? This is the wider footprint question. | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
Everybody is familiar with the term carbon footprint. What is our gas | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
footprint? What is our call footprint? There always is a tension | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
in that. The UK and Scottish Government... There are regulations | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
that can be put in place to make sure things are done safely. Rules | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
are adhered to. That will be different to the United States. It | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
could be the Scottish industry would be better for the environment, I | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
don't know. Regulations in mining tend to be more stringent in the UK | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
that they are elsewhere so if you're thinking about the wider global | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
picture, it is how things balance out. Our government does not have | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
control of our processes or regulatory practices in other | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
countries. Thank you so much for coming in. | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
The Labour Party conference continues in Liverpool. | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
And today, delegates gave their backing to proposals | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
for greater autonomy for the party in Scotland. | :14:22. | :14:34. | |
Our Westminster correspondent, Nick Eardley, sent us this report. | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
Leaving Labour's conference, a first voting member. | :14:42. | :14:53. | |
Just two hours after her victory on the conference floor on reforms to | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
the relationship between Scottish Labour and Labour. It took a bit of | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
a fright. We'll gerrymander the NEC and allow | :15:04. | :15:14. | |
the decision-makers at the weekend to be vetoed by parliamentarians who | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
are not accountable to this movement. This time more than ever | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
we need to remove the top of our democracy and avoid more damaging | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
publicity. This man's supporters were against part of the package. | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
Giving more power to Scotland was an controversial. Senior figures in | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
Scottish Labour argued passing reforms could be the start of a | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
revival. Today you have an opportunity to | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
help us. To bring to an end a decade-long debate over Scotland's | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
place in the Labour Party. Opportunity to close the door on our | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
opponents who make the accusation that Scottish Labour cannot speak | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
for Scotland. An opportunity to help buyers write | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
a new chapter as we build our party to be a electoral force in the | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
future. 8% of those who voted backed changes | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
will stop Mr Taylor was deleted. Daschle Promis Dugdale was | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
delighted. I'm delighted we've got the result that we have because it | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
puts beyond any and all doubt that the Scottish and Labour Party stands | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
up for Scotland and put Scotland's first. | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
Some people think that featured have been elected. | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
What is your message to them? It's clear that the constituency members | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
of the Labour Party across the country are left to their own | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
delegates. That's been the case for a long time. What we have been in | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
four years is that the labour of Welsh and Scottish Labour should sit | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
on that body. I've got a 72% mandate for members in Scotland to speak for | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
the Scottish Labour Party. That voice should be taken to the NEC. | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
Today's wrote was about more than who sits on which body. The Scottish | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
party has been trying for years to shake off the idea that it is | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
subservient to London. Now Kezia Dugdale gets the autonomy she craves | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
and more of a say in how the party is run. Tomorrow is Jeremy Corbyn's | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
two. It is his first speech since his real action. His main message | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
will be we need to stick together if we are to take the fight to the | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Tories. As the sun sets on this Labour | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
conference that remains to be seen whether the Scottish party takes a | :17:36. | :17:36. | |
whether the Scottish party takes a different path than Mr Corbyn's. | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
It's the kind of gathering normally reserved for Hollywood. | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
A hundred thousand people applied for tickets for three special | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
screenings of the first episode of the new series of Still Game. | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
Tonight, the lucky few got a preview of the show, | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
which is returning to the BBC after a nine year absence. | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
At its heart, two Glasgow pensioners Jack and Victor, | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean has been to meet | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
the duo behind them, actors Ford Kiernan | :18:06. | :18:06. | |
So Jack and Victor still 75 but everything has changed, hasn't it? | :18:07. | :18:35. | |
We have these discussions with the set designer. What kind of TVs would | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
they have, would they have mobile phones? It was financing those | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
questions. Pensioners do have flatscreen TVs now and mobile | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
phones. The world changes. But because we made it clear from the | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
beginning we weren't going to make the many older you just have to let | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
the world get older. Hold that. Watch. But it's there. Shut my door. | :19:03. | :19:21. | |
Who is it, please? Basically we sort have said who would have the | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
Internet. And the neighbour was Google before Google, she knew | :19:28. | :19:36. | |
everybody, you know? A lot of what we were talking about before with | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
the reaction to the Show, 21 nights at the Hydro, that big outpouring of | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
love, I guess for the character rugby show. That couldn't have | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
existed ten years ago. No, you couldn't have got that many people. | :19:50. | :19:59. | |
Stuffs change. Twitter, the amount of conversations about the Show | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
coming back on twitter have been in their hundreds and thousands. You do | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
feel old when you consider that we did for the first time in 1989 and | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
we used to meet up and say eight taxi driver told me that he liked | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
this sketch, that's how you got your feedback. That makes you seem like a | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
dinosaur now. Quilted toilet roll. You usually buy the cheap stuff that | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
you put your fingers through. You've got a guest visiting. | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
I think the Show and the characters have heart. People have their | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
favourites. They love sitting characters meanness, maybe they love | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
the way they all interact. We are fans of shows that make you feel | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
good, rather than, you know are cynical or whatever. We like sitcoms | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
that are... Like Cheers, stuff like that where you lose yourself for | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
half an hour with people you feel like you know. Just like the song at | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
the beginning of Cheers. We had a good idea all those years ago that | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
there was something that could travel. We took it to Canada and | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
Dublin. England. We've never looked beyond the series we just written, | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
you know. We're sitting here tonight and were waiting for the next few | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
weeks to see what the audience responses. They decide the life | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
span. They would have done. So we could see more series yet? No | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
make-up, were going to take all the make-up and put it in our pockets. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
We could even get dressed in the house! | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
Pauline McLean there, speaking to Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill. | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
And the new series of Still Game starts on Friday 7th | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
of October on BBC One. Now, joining me to discuss the day's | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
big stories are Catriona Stewart from The Herald and the Editor | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
Good evening to you both. Looking forward to Still Game? Yes, I love | :21:53. | :22:07. | |
Still Game. They are Scotland's answer to Brad and Angelina, aren't | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
they? From still game to shale gas, let's talk about that. The first | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
shipment arriving at Grangemouth today. Well, not quite arriving. | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
Quite a show on the first of force today and this has reignited the | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
debate about fracking. I think as your guests said earlier the central | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
issue here is that we need gas to produce things. We need gas | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
domestically. And it's got to come from somewhere. You're riding the | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
horns of this band, where is it going to come from? If there are | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
questions about the dangers of extracting it from the ground, it's | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
easy to brush that away by bringing it from somewhere else. I think the | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
reason why there is so much attention is because it is such a | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
hard thing to resolve. Do you think it's become too much of a political | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
argument, almost to be rational and reasonable about it now? I think | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
when you've got something that so, almost emotive, there's the | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
environmental campaigners on one hand who are very against it, | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
there's moral issues around, you know, how moralism, really, that we | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
are against fracking in Scotland but we're taking gas at the | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
environmental expense of another country. Then you've got a | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
government, it's very sort of tempting in that regard, jobs, | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
money, as Paul says, we need energy to come from somewhere. Is it then | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
looking at increasing renewable energy which, personally, I think is | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
the way we should be going. On the question of politics in the US last | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
night saw the first televised debate of the presidential campaign. He is | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
a flavour of how they got on. She doesn't have the looks. She | :24:09. | :24:20. | |
doesn't have the stamina. To be president of this country you need | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
tremendous stamina. As soon as he travels to 112 countries and | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
negotiate a peace deal, a ceasefire, a release of dissidents and opening | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
of new opportunities and nations around the world, or even spend 11 | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
hours testifying in front of a congressional committee he can talk | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
to me about stamina! I wonder what you made of that? Did you see the | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
whole thing? I was watching it like this a little bit. The cognitive | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
dissonance is almost too much to handle. You got a former secretary | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
of State oozing gauging in a presidential debate with a cartoon, | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
essentially. -- who is engaging. And on the other hand it's a really | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
event. You've got a high number of undecided voters and Hillary is | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
having to come in and take those people with her. Last night Donald | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
handed to her on a plate. Some of the stuff he was coming out with was | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
nonsensical. He was talking about her anti-terror plans, saying that | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
she was tipping off Isis. She suggested that he wasn't paying his | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
federal taxes and he said, that makes me smart. At the end of its | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
CNN was the largest poll and they said that 62% were backing Hillary. | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
Whether that translates into votes we can only wait and see. We're like | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
to more debates to come. Certainly, it was cringeworthy from Donald's | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
side. But, Paul, we keep hearing he won't make it to the next stage. He | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
won't win, and he's charging on. What you think the possibility is | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
that he could... He's a man with Teflon here, nothing really sticks | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
to him. He'll keep going because there's nobody else. But it does | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
look as though the wheels are starting to come. He's like a | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
football manager, blaming everything except his own performance. He said | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
his was picking up his sniffles. He's starting to look for excuses. | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
Perhaps this is the moment that thing is to learn. He was getting | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
riled towards the end. She stayed very cool. What did you make of the | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
body language? I watch it with the volume down and I thought the facial | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
expressions were interesting. She states smiling at Camwy has his face | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
was... It's that we had hand gesture he does. There is a comedian who | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
does a voice-over who mocks trump's online with his originals. All he | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
does is repeat jump's words but in a ridiculous accent. He shows how we | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
did is what he says is. Watching that last night you can see exactly | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
what he zoned in on. If you are looking for body language, Trump | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
lost it. He had a complete meltdown towards the end as well. He was | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
shouting. He was doing this bizarre stream of consciousness free | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
association thing, pointing and being aggressive. He just wasn't | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
presidential at all. It's very clear that if you support Donald Trump you | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
The great Brexit debate continues and today in London, | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
the First Minister gave a speech to Institute of Directors | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
in which she linked the vote to leave the EU with the UK | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
How does that adds to the debate? I find it a book you say. If that is | :27:38. | :27:51. | |
the case then Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP have frequently | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
said that they bore the brunt of austerity. They should have voted | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
for Brexit then, that would have propelled them towards Brexit. But | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
it had the opposite effect. Scotland was for remaining in the EU so I | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
thought that it was just sort of scrambling around a bit to look for | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
an excuse that wasn't there. Do you think the fact that it was in London | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
she was maybe talking about the vote in England rather than its | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
resonating here. Moray was our closest road and that's not a | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
deprived part of Scotland. Certainly. When you look at the | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
breakdown the statistics and student's hypothesis don't quite | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
stack up. She's certainly not the first person to say that. But Brexit | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
is a bit like the parable of the blind men and the elephant. The man | :28:40. | :28:46. | |
holding the Taylor thinks he has a rope. There is no multifaceted | :28:47. | :28:52. | |
answer. It's really easy to protect your own thoughts on to it and that | :28:53. | :28:55. | |
is exactly what the surgeon has done today. Thank you. It's been good to | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
talk to you both. I'm back again tomorrow | :29:02. | :29:02. | |
night, usual time. You can keep up-to-date with all the | :29:03. | :29:13. | |
Scottish News online. In the meantime please join me tomorrow. | :29:14. | :29:15. | |
Goodbye for now. | :29:16. | :29:20. |
