But for Scotland, the campaign continues. The dream shall never | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
die. Good evening from Berwick in | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
North Northumberland. The voters in, but now therd are | :00:08. | :00:17. | |
calls for more power to be given to us here in the North. We nedd more | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
powers for places like Newc`stle if a Tissier FERA settlement for the | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
country. `` if we are to sed a fairer settlement. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
A man is in jail for 12 years for setting fire to a ferry. And there | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
is a new manager for Carlisle United. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
It is nearly the weekend and I will be here with a full forecast . | :00:45. | :00:57. | |
Good evening from Berwick in North Northumberland. | :00:58. | :02:40. | |
giving powers, too. We have a Scottish Government which is still | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
part of the union today. Thdy have all sorts of strategic powers. There | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
is a problem there. It is a deficit for the North of England th`t needs | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
to be resolved. The power to take important decisions about transport | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
links and paid for them, rather than going captain had to Whiteh`ll, is | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
high on the devolution shopping list. `` cap in hand. | :03:02. | :03:14. | |
What we need is greater control over deciding on things like | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
infrastructure and creating jobs and new homes. At the moment, wd have to | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
go to Whitehall, we need to be given powers to make those decisions. That | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
is a wish list. Time for thd levers to deliver that for England, too. `` | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Our Political Editor Richard Moss is here. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Richard, a no vote from Scotland and a resounding no from our | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
leaders. We have been here `ll day. You will find people who ard from | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
north of the border, but yot come here for work and shopping. There | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
are emotional and economic connections. That led to thd strong | :04:02. | :04:15. | |
no vote in the Borders. Do you feel that there was ` real | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
worry here? There were real concerns about the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
border and currency. But just because this is over, doesn't mean | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
that other things aren't now coming up. Such as tuition fees. Free | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
prescription charges north of the border, here we have to pay and free | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
personal care in Scotland, not available here. And those | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
differences, the fear is thdy may get more stark as Scotland has been | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
promised more powers. As a result, many political leaders | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
have been calling for the north`east and Cumbria to have more powers But | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
as Mark Denton reports, even... Still a lot of support here. Even | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
after the vote, there has bden calls for Newcastle to get `` the North | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
East to get more powers over its own destiny. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
So it's a no vote, which me`ns if you want to get past Berwick | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
You will be able to use one of these. | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
No, because all the main parties have been falling over themselves | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
offering things to Scotland, things our region hasn't been offered. | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
There's a recommitment to the Barnett formula, | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
so additional expenditure pdr head, but also a further package of fiscal | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
measures, tax`raising powers, as well, as I think flexibilitx to | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
decide priorities, particularly in areas like welfare. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
But, hang on, if Scotland get all those powers, | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
even though it has been a no vote, what powers are we going to get | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
I think there's an opportunhty for the North East to prepare | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
a kind of case for the North East about what responsibilities it would | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
like to exercise in terms of the environment, infrastructure, | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
All this talk about devoluthon might remind you of this, the North East | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
Assembly referendum ten years ago ` it saw a massive no vote. | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
What form it may take is the question. | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
I think that some kind of radical devolution is both | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
possible and I think person`lly necessary to deal with | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
At the moment, the emphasis is on English votes for English laws, | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
a rejigging of the deckchairs in the Westminster bubble. | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
It would be terrible to allow the politicians and those advoc`ting | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
regional assemblies to distract us from more important issuds. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
What the North East needs is for the Government to turbo`charge | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
its city deals, to redirect more of the existing | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
24 times more is spent in London than in the North East | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
and we should have a greater proportion of existing spending | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
I say that we need to revisht the failed attempt | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
for regional government, because the cat is out of the bag, devolution | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
has happened and it will be strengthened in a case of Scotland. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
But the people here voted tdn years ago substantially against the idea. | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
They did, but I think if you really revisit their history, | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
if you want to bring togethdr a worse set of circumstances to get | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
a vote in that referendum, you probably couldn't have done so. | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
I'm afraid to say from my perspective the offdr | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
from the outset as soon as the White Paper was publhshed is | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
For the whole region, the no does not mean the status quo. | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
The politicians are making noises about changes elsewhdre. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
What it adds up to is more uncertainty here. | :08:02. | :08:15. | |
Earlier today, the overriding emotion here was that peopld felt | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
relief, really. Relief that Scotland has decided to stay in the tnion. I | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
have been talking to some of the people earlier. | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
The old city walls securing the town that has changed hands betwden | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
England and Scotland 13 timds. Today, the hope is for incltsivity. | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Many traders and workers live on both sides of the border. | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
Because of the way it went, I have a daughter who lives near Edinburgh | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
and she wanted to vote yes. But we are one country. A missed | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
opportunity. I cannot see it happening again for a long time We | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
are a border town, we have people working on both sides, living on one | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
or working on the other, chhldren at school on one side. I think it would | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
have caused a lot of diffictlties. The prospect of even guess that this | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
man would have driven him from his home. I and later. I am a n`tive of | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
Berwick, I come down here to look for a house, I was going to move | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
immediately. I am delighted. For now, the pressure is off for that | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
Some of the views there. And we have MP for Berwick here. | :09:44. | :10:01. | |
How concerned are you that powers north of the border might ilpact | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
here? I would have been mord concerned if we had had an | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
international frontier up the road, but I think we have two grabbed the | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
opportunity make clear that Scotland is getting extra powers, thd | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
north`east must be attended to. I think we have to put up a bht of a | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
fight. I am not happy to sed the Barnett formula continued... It | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
gives more money to the Scotland under north`east. Unless thd genuine | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
needs of the north`east are recognised. We cannot let the debate | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
be entirely about Scotland `nd it won't be. You have an opportunity to | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
put those points to the Prile Minister, you're chairing a | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
committee that meets with hhm in three weeks. I think you'll get some | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
pretty stiff questioning from some of his own MPs. I will be chairing | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
the meeting. It is devoted to how we govern in the United Kingdol after | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
this vote and key in that is what we will do about England, which has | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
been the afterthought with `ll of the devolution changes. It hs time | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
we answered some of the questions. And assembly was offered, it was | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
rejected, presumably that is off the table. I don't think we are ready to | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
go back to that yet. But we are in need of is evolution of mord power | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
and setting up of some kind of structure under which rural areas | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
and communities like this gdt their voice heard. This is not all about | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
giving more power to cities. Thank you very much. | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
Plenty more to discuss. That is the view from here. That go | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
West now to the border city of Carlisle. | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
Emily. It has been a tense few weeks here | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
in North Cumbria as the polls narrowed and it became a re`l | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
possibility that Scotland could vote for independence. We had reports on | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
estate agents getting enquiries about people buying houses hn | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
England. A number of people came across the border to open b`nk | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
accounts as anxiety grew about border controls and possibld | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
different currencies if there was a yes vote. But there was a no vote | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
and this morning I travelled north to find out what cross`borddr | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
commuters made of the result. This is the 745 from Dumfrids to | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
Newcastle. It carries commuters across`the`board. Passengers on the | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
string woke up to discover Scotland had voted against independence. What | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
do they think? I voted no. I think it is qtite | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
disappointing. I think it would have been interesting to have sedn what | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
happened. A good thing if they get more powers, but good that we are | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
united. I think it will bendfit us in the long run. Quite guttdd, | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
actually, I was a yes vote. But I think we did well. An absoltte | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
disgrace that Scotland has refused its own independence. Our ancestors | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
fought so hard to try and whn our freedom. Although the vote went | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
against independence, Scotl`nd has been promised more powers, leaning | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
life north of the border is still going to change. The daily commuter | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
England could begin this fidld different too. `` to feel dhfferent. | :13:40. | :13:52. | |
Here, I have a local MP. John, 5% voted no, how did that make you | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
feel? I think it was decisive and one that I was glad to see. I think | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
that the countries are bettdr together, I know there will be | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
changes in the union, but I think in the long run remaining together is | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
in the interests of all. David Cameron has said there will be more | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
powers to Scotland, but he said it would be more powers for England, | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
what does that mean? When you push the tax`raising powers? I h`ve | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
always been a advocate of localism and Scotland will get furthdr | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
powers, quite rightly, but ht is right that we look at the English | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
deficits, one level is giving devolution to places like C`rlisle | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
and Cumbria and addressing the question of English votes and | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
English laws. I am delighted that the Prime Minister is looking at | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
these issues. Dazzling talk about more powers for cities. `` there has | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
been talk. I would devolve powers to chties and | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
counties and they could be different packages. But I think we nedd to | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
move power away from London and into the regions. | :14:56. | :15:05. | |
One of your backbench colle`gues has said that they would like to scrap | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
the Barnett formula which allocates Scotland more public funding per | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
head, what do you think of that I think over time with greater | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
devolution that may cease to be an issue. Tax`raising powers go to the | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Scottish parliament and hopdfully some tax`raising powers to Dnglish | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
regions. I am not sure the Barnett formula would be such an issue. It | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
has been a big day here in Carlisle. Lots of relief, some disappointed | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
faces as people have disemb`rked from trains, but on the whole lots | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
of smiles. Imagine picture here, I think. `` a | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
similar picture here . Well, many businesses had | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
a spring in their step this morning A yes vote would have thrown up too | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
many questions, One particular sector, | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
that supports 65,000 people in our Our Business Correspondent Han Reeve | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
reports. The uncertainty is over | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
and business is relieved. The region's gas and oil sector | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
especially so, thanks to its This Teeside company can now plan | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
with certainty its bids to take apart redundant rigs from the | :16:14. | :16:18. | |

accept the new larger investors that And we will not only be abld to | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
build on existing business, but also An offshore worker who shuttles | :16:24. | :16:32. | |

work for Shell UK, so what xou are have certainty about where we're | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
going in the future, whereas there was uncertainty | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
about how things would work. At Newcastle Airport, | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
a little more wariness, Scotland may yet | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
see the abolition of air passenger We will be lobbying on behalf | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
of the North East region intensively over the next few weeks to `void it | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
going into the mix. In the main, though, | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
business and industry likes the certainty the no vote h`s given, | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
but the North East Chamber Of The extra powers promised to | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
Scotland in the referendum campaign could impact on North East | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
business confidence, it says. So maybe many people are saxing | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
the no vote isn't the end of the Here's Richard again. Richard, in | :17:25. | :17:45. | |
business terms, this no votd is not an end to uncertainty. No, there are | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
concerns about powers going to Scotland and jobs going to Scotland | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
that are leaking out of the north`east. This evening, an MP said | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
that he is concerned about this and is prepared to vote against any | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
extra powers for the Scottish parliament as he believes that they | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
have lots of money at her `` lots of money to throw at attracting | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
employers and here we do not have that power. He does not think that | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
money should just be handed an elected powers, so the only thing he | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
can do is they don't powers to try to stop them happening. But with the | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
Labour supporting them and the Liberal Democrats and David Cameron | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
pledging to, it'll probably an epidural against it. `` an dmpty | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
vote. Phil Carter was born and brdd | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
in Middlesbrough and is a lhfelong Boro fan, so what's he doing casting | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
his vote in Dunfermline? You have arrived at the polling | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
booth, why for you is it important In total, there are 400,000 English | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
people who live in Scotland and polling | :18:58. | :19:10. | |
before the vote has shown that the majority of them, like Phil | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
want to remain part of the tnion. I voted no, and I think it sounds | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
like a nice idea in principle, but there's too much risk of jobs | :19:16. | :19:24. | |

its leaders are staying anonymous so personalities don't get in the way. | :21:45. | :21:48. | |

to be a difficult environment if we have the atmosphere wd had | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
What I hope is that the protest comes quickly and goes as qtickly. | :22:29. | :22:44. | |
I think the worst scenario would be that we are still protesting | :22:45. | :22:47. | |

We have tough days, as well, this will be one of our toughest. | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
We have to try and take adv`ntage of that, of course we do. | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
We have to be mercenary enough to try and do that. | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
It is about being professional, going out there on Saturday, | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
being as strong as we can bd, and trying to win as many f`ns back | :23:17. | :23:19. | |

their trophy win of 2007, when he was there as a fan! | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
Yeah, I was in the stand, I was a development player at the time. | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
I remember getting a tingle down my spine as Michael Di Venuto and | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
Phil Mustard came out to bat and it was a tremendous day for thd club, | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
We did not start the one`day competition particularly | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
well, but the last three or four weeks, we have played some great | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
cricket and are winning gamds of cricket, which is import`nt. | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
And after their long bus jotrney south, the players loosened up this | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
Durham will be boosted by the news that Warwickshire's | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
England batsman Ian Bell can't play because of a broken toe. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
And you can follow all the `ction with commentary from Martin Emmerson | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
That hope for some good weather `` let us | :24:17. | :24:32. | |
It has been a gloomy and grdy week and there is more drizzly r`in to | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
come. Generally, it is a good news | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
headline for much of the rest of the weekend. We are expecting it to | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
brighten up from tomorrow afternoon. Overnight tonight, limited practice | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
at first, then mostly dry in the West, but gloomy and cloudy with | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
drizzle in the East, partictlarly for the side. `` the site. @ cold | :24:56. | :25:05. | |
front comes from Scotland to light. Overnight, temperatures as low as 11 | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
Celsius. Through tomorrow morning, that cold front brings drizzly rain | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
and cloud across much of thd north`east and parts of Cumbria It | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
is misty, as well, tomorrow morning, but slowly things starts to | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
improve. The temperatures through the afternoon will rise to `round 14 | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
or 15 Celsius, and for most parts of North Yorkshire tomorrow and is | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
bright. It will be just a lhttle bit cloudier, but warmer in Cumbria 18 | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
Celsius. Most parts dry with some sunshine towards the end thd day. | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
Let us look at the big picttre, the pressure sequence shows the cold | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
front slipping down across the UK, displaced by high pressure through | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
Saturday afternoon and into Sunday and Monday, possibly Tuesdax as | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
well. If you're waiting for a spell of rain, certainly know that | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
substantial rainfall `` no substantial rain. What will it mean | :26:13. | :26:20. | |
in the detail? After tomorrow, Cumbria we are expecting it to be | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
dry and fine on Sunday, best of the sunshine would be to the West. A | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
glorious day here. Monday looks like a good day, too, for being out and | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
about. Temperatures higher than the average. In the North East, cooler | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
on Sunday, Monday looks find and dry with some warm spells of sunshine. | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
The weather looks good. The cold fronts will clear after tomorrow | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
lunch time. High pressure then builds. | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
We'll hand you back to Carol, who's live in Berwick tonight. | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
It feels already like it has been quite a momentous day. | :27:01. | :27:11. | |
There has been a sense of rdlief here. One question has been | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
answered, but that raises a whole set of other questions that will | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
dominate debate over the next few months. | :27:21. | :27:20. | |
I'll be talking more about `ll these issues with MPs and council leaders | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
