:00:00. > :00:09.Everyone knows that Scotland has chosen to stay in the UK.
:00:10. > :00:13.Actually, he?s right, because Diane and Kenny Andrew here
:00:14. > :00:38.They are about to find out the result live on The One Show.
:00:39. > :00:41.Hello and welcome to the united One Show with the wonderfully
:00:42. > :00:45.The emphatically English Chris Evans.
:00:46. > :00:51.Our Northern irreplaceable Irish assistant producer, Sarah Carson.
:00:52. > :01:01.And let's cut to the chase - the sublimely Scottish John Hannah!
:01:02. > :01:14.I -- John did not get to vote. Nobody who does not live in Scotland
:01:15. > :01:23.got to vote. I felt very annoyed at the people don't live in Scotland
:01:24. > :01:31.got to tell people how to vote. What about the rest of your family? They
:01:32. > :01:37.are in Lanarkshire. We never really talked about it. We had a disaster
:01:38. > :01:43.with my dad on Monday. He fell down the stairs. That superseded anything
:01:44. > :01:49.else. Did they get to the polling stations? I don't know. We only
:01:50. > :02:00.talked about my dad. East Kilbride is part of South Lanarkshire. They
:02:01. > :02:10.voted resoundingly No. 45.3% was the Yes vote -- No vote. That surprises
:02:11. > :02:16.me. It surprised me to be honest! Alex Salmond has resigned. How do
:02:17. > :02:20.you feel about that? It would be nice of David Cameron to follow
:02:21. > :02:23.suit. One of the things we have learned about this is that 97% of
:02:24. > :02:30.the electorate in Scotland voted because they were not happy with
:02:31. > :02:34.Westminster. We all right being together but Westminster is really
:02:35. > :02:40.bugging everybody. It is corrupt, it is bloated, it is just wrong. If the
:02:41. > :02:44.English electorate, if the Welsh electorate had the chance to vote on
:02:45. > :02:47.change in how we were governed by Westminster, everybody would say
:02:48. > :02:54.let's get rid of them all. Just dissolve the Government. We should
:02:55. > :02:58.all go independent. I had an idea coming in here were thought they
:02:59. > :03:02.could just take a lottery worth 500 random people get picked the year to
:03:03. > :03:10.become politicians. They could not do any worse than this lot, could
:03:11. > :03:15.they? If you are brand-new as an MP, or a member of the cabinet, or Prime
:03:16. > :03:19.Minister, you are following somebody who has been doing it for a 4 years
:03:20. > :03:23.and you have never done before. A complete beginner gets to learn on
:03:24. > :03:28.the job. They work within the system. They are working at having a
:03:29. > :03:32.career. That is where politics is lost its way. There are people in
:03:33. > :03:37.there who are having their career. They're looking after their self
:03:38. > :03:40.interests. They are self-serving are they there because they want to do
:03:41. > :03:45.good, or are they there because it is a pretty decent job? You get
:03:46. > :03:52.expenses, you can pay off your mum's house, your house. It is your
:03:53. > :04:03.opinion, and you are entitled to it. Weir thank you very much.
:04:04. > :04:07.Welcome to Newsnight! We have two passionate Scottish voters who still
:04:08. > :04:12.do not know the result. One voted Yes and one voted No. They are
:04:13. > :04:17.married. They are Diane and Kenny Andrew. They travelled down from
:04:18. > :04:21.Glasgow to London last night and have been in complete isolation
:04:22. > :04:26.since. They were in the Langham Hotel across the road last night. No
:04:27. > :04:30.TV, radio or mobile phones. Then they were escorted to the The One
:04:31. > :04:47.Show HQ. Throughout the day they were kept entertained with board
:04:48. > :04:51.games and music. Rock 'n' roll does not work in isolation. It needs to
:04:52. > :04:57.be Wembley Stadium. Not in isolation. Later in the show we are
:04:58. > :05:00.going to take them out of isolation and ask them what they think has
:05:01. > :05:06.happened and then tell them what has happened. It was Diane who voted Yes
:05:07. > :05:08.for independence, which is against the overall female trend, and Kenny
:05:09. > :05:13.who voted No. Angela Rippon was up at the crack of
:05:14. > :05:16.dawn this morning to board the 05:00 train from Manchester to Glasgow,
:05:17. > :05:19.as bleary-eyed travellers waited to discover the news
:05:20. > :05:28.the whole country was waiting for. I would not normally relish being
:05:29. > :05:39.booked onto a 5 AM train but on such a historic day, who could resist? As
:05:40. > :05:44.this train hurtles towards Scotland and a decision which, whichever way
:05:45. > :05:53.it goes will change the future of the country forever, there is an air
:05:54. > :05:56.of sleepy cam. What verdict are travellers anticipating? Which way
:05:57. > :06:02.are you hoping the vote will go? I am hoping yes. It is the whole
:06:03. > :06:09.independence thing. You think it would be a great future for
:06:10. > :06:12.Scotland? Yes. I am Welsh. We have our own Parliament. I think it is a
:06:13. > :06:18.good idea that they govern themselves. What sort of reaction do
:06:19. > :06:22.you think you will get from people? I have been told there would be a
:06:23. > :06:27.lot of partying tonight. I think it will be a Yes. We're over the
:06:28. > :06:36.border. The train is filling up. Let's go find out what people are
:06:37. > :06:42.thinking. You know what the decision is.
:06:43. > :06:52.Scotland has voted No. You wanted Yes. You disappointed? A wee bit. I
:06:53. > :06:55.voted Yes. When you look at a lot of the poverty and people relying on
:06:56. > :06:59.food banks and things like that, in terms of things like that it was
:07:00. > :07:10.time for a change. I'm quite relieved, actually. You voted No?
:07:11. > :07:15.Yes. I thought they were too many risks. Not being able to have a job.
:07:16. > :07:20.Not being able to have the NHS and things like that. I am happy to
:07:21. > :07:27.still be part of the union. It is the best for Scotland.
:07:28. > :07:31.It is disappointing. I have been active in the Yes campaign since the
:07:32. > :07:40.start. It has given the establishment a shake. I am proud of
:07:41. > :07:45.how involved everybody has become. It has really got me into politics.
:07:46. > :07:49.There would have been a lot of hard work ahead of us if we were to be
:07:50. > :07:55.successful. I am disappointed to not have the chance to be able to pick
:07:56. > :08:05.up the shovel and start working on that. Disappointed with the result.
:08:06. > :08:11.James, how about you? I voted No. You voted against each other and
:08:12. > :08:16.your friends? We are not friends any more. It is a muted arrival in
:08:17. > :08:20.Glasgow. There are some who say it was the right decision. Others are
:08:21. > :08:23.bitterly disappointed. Overriding that is the feeling that we in this
:08:24. > :08:25.together from here on in. Indeed.
:08:26. > :08:29.But now let?s throw live to Sarah Mack, who is live for us in Glasgow.
:08:30. > :08:31.Sarah, the majority of people in Glasgow voted for independence.
:08:32. > :08:34.And along with the news that Alex Salmond has resigned,
:08:35. > :08:47.Well, the mood is slightly tense this evening. You join me in George
:08:48. > :08:51.Square. Emotions are running high. It has become a bit of a hub for
:08:52. > :08:56.both campaigns. We have witnessed a couple of classes. There has been
:08:57. > :09:03.some hustle and bustle. Hopefully we will not have to run. The yes voters
:09:04. > :09:06.did not get the result they wanted. They are dejected and disappointed.
:09:07. > :09:12.Last night I spent the night with voters in Edinburgh.
:09:13. > :09:16.So the polls have just closed and while most people have gone home to
:09:17. > :09:20.catch the results, some dedicated Scots, and I am about to join them,
:09:21. > :09:30.have decided to spend all night witnessing Scotland's future unfold
:09:31. > :09:35.in the local pub. What strikes me immediately is that the Yes voters
:09:36. > :09:44.are out in force. Why have you come macro to the pub? To see the vote.
:09:45. > :09:49.If it was a No, how will you react? I don't want to think about it right
:09:50. > :09:58.now. Disillusioned. It will be tough to take. The first results are in.
:09:59. > :10:05.What was a very lively pub is now very subdued. I think the Yes
:10:06. > :10:12.campaigners hope a result goes their way quite soon. And our later and
:10:13. > :10:19.Dundee and Glasgow do go their way. Now it has gone back the other way.
:10:20. > :10:24.It is real edge of the seat stuff. I started off with a bit of
:10:25. > :10:30.anticipation. I will stick with it. Where were the no voters? Which way
:10:31. > :10:41.did you vote? That is secret. I voted Yes. 100% Yes. Nearly half the
:10:42. > :10:49.population of Scotland do want change. That cannot be ignored.
:10:50. > :10:53.So the majority of votes have decided to stay with the union. We
:10:54. > :10:59.are in George Square. It is getting quite tense. Both sides of the
:11:00. > :11:04.campaign are fronting up to each other. Just speaking to some people
:11:05. > :11:07.standing around, one girl said she came down because she heard it was
:11:08. > :11:13.going to be a celebration and a demonstration. She is feeling quite
:11:14. > :11:16.frightened. Another lady says she finds this scene heartbreaking.
:11:17. > :11:21.People are very passionate about this issue. We have been told we
:11:22. > :11:25.have two men, recover, unite and move on. Hopefully we can do this
:11:26. > :11:31.and this will all end peacefully this evening.
:11:32. > :11:36.We're sorry about the guy in the background. Nothing we can do about
:11:37. > :11:41.that. Earlier in the show John said he was not allowed to vote. This
:11:42. > :11:49.film would suggest otherwise. I have been inside but I cannot
:11:50. > :11:55.decide. Who are you voting for? You cannot overthink it. When I go into
:11:56. > :12:01.a restaurant and look at the menu, I make up my mind. Tiramisu. Then the
:12:02. > :12:16.waiter comes over and a golfer sticky toffee pudding.
:12:17. > :12:21.-- I go for. You are not going to tell us how you voted. But would you
:12:22. > :12:28.have been in any kind of dilemma? Was straight choice? Yes, I party
:12:29. > :12:34.didn't go that far because I did not have a vote and it was not a debate
:12:35. > :12:37.I followed in any depth. In your heart you wanted to be an
:12:38. > :12:42.independent country. You want to be able to feel as if it can move
:12:43. > :12:50.forward and not necessarily be governed by the corrupt, bloated
:12:51. > :12:55.cops of Westminster. We will move on to check off in a moment! Which is
:12:56. > :13:06.half as dramatic as this. -- Chekhov. Moving swiftly on to
:13:07. > :13:10.Chekhov, you would think... Your back on stage for the first time in
:13:11. > :13:19.six years. You are back in Uncle Vanya. The first time you did
:13:20. > :13:24.Chekhov was about 20 years ago? You were 22. We have the programmer
:13:25. > :13:29.here. You are the same age as the guy who has written a new adaptation
:13:30. > :13:33.of what you are doing. This was part of the Royal Scottish Academy of
:13:34. > :13:35.music and drama. At the bottom of this programme there is a footnote
:13:36. > :13:44.saying that the School of drama wardrobe welcomes donations of
:13:45. > :13:50.clothing. So does The One Show's wardrobe, by the way. How has it
:13:51. > :13:55.changed for you? I cannot remember. It was 30 years ago. I don't
:13:56. > :13:59.remember what happened last week. I have a preconception of Chekhov.
:14:00. > :14:03.Straw hats and linen suits, swinging around with middle-class angst. This
:14:04. > :14:11.is the first week and I don't really know that much. It is not what I
:14:12. > :14:20.expected. It is so dark. Everybody is so depressed! Everybody is so
:14:21. > :14:25.desperate. And it is a comedy! It is a brilliant suicide and murder
:14:26. > :14:33.comedy. You love Chekhov, don't you? I do. This is brilliant. I have only
:14:34. > :14:38.done a week. It is brilliant. I have loved it. You were 22 doing your
:14:39. > :14:43.first Chekhov, and the girl who has adapted it is also 22. She has
:14:44. > :15:15.brought it up to date and there is talk about modern technology.
:15:16. > :15:24.Go to work or stay at home and get beaten up.
:15:25. > :15:29.You can see John in Uncle Vanya at the Saint James 's Theatre in London
:15:30. > :15:33.from October the 8th. In just a moment we will meet a man called
:15:34. > :15:37.Mark Pollock, paralysed from the waist down four years ago and has
:15:38. > :15:41.since gone on to hold the record for the most steps taken using an
:15:42. > :15:48.exoskeleton. First, Michael Mosley and Sarah Morgan, sorry, Sophie
:15:49. > :15:57.Morgan, went to meet some pioneers aiming to give more people the
:15:58. > :16:01.ability to walk again. As I became older I became more
:16:02. > :16:06.aware of the fact they were part of my body I could not feel. Sophie had
:16:07. > :16:10.broken her spine. There is that time between sleeping and waking up and I
:16:11. > :16:17.forget that I'm paralysed. I go to stand up and walk. People with a
:16:18. > :16:21.spinal injury as severe as Sophie's, would expect never to walk
:16:22. > :16:42.again. I am walking again but not as I imagined. This is Rex. It is
:16:43. > :16:45.wonderful being able to look at UI to live. Is lovely to be able to
:16:46. > :16:47.talk to somebody at the right height and be able to feel myself, I
:16:48. > :17:22.suppose. I do hope one day that I will be
:17:23. > :17:31.standing here and you would not even know. It might appear slow but just
:17:32. > :17:36.getting this robber bride and walking required extraordinary
:17:37. > :17:40.engineering. The thing is, we humans are inherently unstable. We are
:17:41. > :17:47.top-heavy. Fortunately we have centres all over our bodies. We even
:17:48. > :18:00.have centres in our legs. All of it is about keeping us balance. Has a
:18:01. > :18:03.proven more difficult for easier? To much more difficult. We had to
:18:04. > :18:48.design and build every part ourselves.
:18:49. > :18:59.Richard and the team have developed this robot. It constantly monitors
:19:00. > :19:07.and readjusts its position. It is always balanced. But this robot is
:19:08. > :19:10.not just made for walking. The biggest problem with being in a
:19:11. > :19:16.wheelchair is the physical access. An evening with steps and stairs, I
:19:17. > :19:20.cannot do it. Today they are preparing Sophie and her robot for
:19:21. > :19:38.her greatest challenge yet. Push the joystick forward and lean across
:19:39. > :19:59.that side. Up the stairs. Oh, my God! Hang on. That is it. Simple.
:20:00. > :20:06.Oh, my God! My chair is stuck down there. I want to keep going up.
:20:07. > :20:10.Richard is already working on ways to control his exoskeleton is using
:20:11. > :20:14.thought alone. In the future they will inevitably get smaller, lighter
:20:15. > :20:17.and faster. Spending time with Sophie made me really appreciate
:20:18. > :20:22.what an extraordinary thing it is every time we walk up and down
:20:23. > :20:26.stairs. Thank you so much to Michael and
:20:27. > :20:31.Sophie. Amazing to see Sophie taking her first steps. All good news. We
:20:32. > :20:40.are joined by Mark Pollock. What happened to you? How did you become
:20:41. > :20:43.paralysed? Four years ago I fell from a second story window in the
:20:44. > :20:48.place where I was staying in England, and landed on the concrete
:20:49. > :20:53.below, fractured my skull, leads on the brain, massive internal
:20:54. > :21:00.injuries. I broke my back in two parts. I damaged the spine in two
:21:01. > :21:06.parts. I cannot feel or move anything from my stomach down. The
:21:07. > :21:08.eco-Skeleton system is very different to what we saw in the
:21:09. > :22:14.film. steps so far. What the very first
:22:15. > :22:19.step feel like? Nerve wracking. I was in America. There were three
:22:20. > :22:29.physiotherapists. A harness going to the ceiling. The physios were
:22:30. > :22:34.controlling it. I was strapped into the device. I held onto the
:22:35. > :22:37.harness, pressed a button, I leaned forward. The motors of the knees and
:22:38. > :22:45.hips pushed me into a standing position. Just that movement alone,
:22:46. > :22:50.after sitting down or lying down for nearly two years, was so exciting.
:22:51. > :22:56.It was like crossing the finish line in any race I have ever done. Then I
:22:57. > :23:03.got onto walking. That was a blast. That was all of the adrenaline
:23:04. > :23:13.rush. There are sensors in the feet. When I move on to the left leg and
:23:14. > :23:22.forward the right leg nose to take a step. These things are first
:23:23. > :23:26.generation. Like a first generation mobile phone. Mark, when you take
:23:27. > :23:31.your 1 million step, Willie come back? To it is going to be soon
:23:32. > :23:41.because I am getting quicker and quicker! Even if it is Monday, you
:23:42. > :23:46.come back! We will have a party. The only true Scots who don't know
:23:47. > :23:51.the result of yesterday's referendum don't know because we lock them
:23:52. > :23:57.away, not against their will. Diane and Kenny from Glasgow are married.
:23:58. > :24:03.However, the Yes and No divide in their house is called -- course also
:24:04. > :24:09.sorts of problems. Kenny voted No against his wife. I want an
:24:10. > :24:15.independent Scotland. I want to remain part of the United Kingdom.
:24:16. > :24:21.Since the debates came about, we had to agree not to talk about it in the
:24:22. > :24:30.house. I feel the level of risk associated is too great. It is
:24:31. > :24:34.irreversible. I work in the defence industry, which benefit greatly from
:24:35. > :24:40.being part of the United Kingdom. I work for the NHS. If we were
:24:41. > :24:43.independent, the Government would decide themselves what they wanted
:24:44. > :24:47.to spend their money on. We would have a bigger budget.
:24:48. > :24:59.Let's bring them over. Take their headphones offer. Come over here.
:25:00. > :25:08.Quick as you can! Quick as you can! Meet John Hannah. You are out of
:25:09. > :25:21.isolation. How was it to be in isolation? Was there a sense of
:25:22. > :25:30.freedom? We love that. So relaxed. It has just been Scottish music all
:25:31. > :25:39.day! We did not know what to do. Which result will cause most
:25:40. > :25:45.problems? A No. That is probably the only thing that will make any
:25:46. > :25:53.difference is Diane's enduring grudges. You are smiling about it,
:25:54. > :25:58.which is good. Maybe the sense of togetherness has thawed the result
:25:59. > :26:09.between you. Can you sense anything? No idea. I would like to know. So
:26:10. > :26:28.yesterday in the referendum Scotland voted... No against independence.
:26:29. > :26:33.passionate voters would react the second they found out. What's your
:26:34. > :26:41.initial feeling? Devastated. I can see tears in your eyes. Kenny, how
:26:42. > :26:47.do you feel? Um... I don't feel elated. You look quite deflated
:26:48. > :26:51.actually Kenny. I just hope it is a catalyst for change. I just hope
:26:52. > :26:56.that the promises and commitments that have been made in the run-up to
:26:57. > :27:03.this... By the way, Alex Salmond has resigned as well. While Diane and
:27:04. > :27:08.Kenny digest the news... I think cuddles are required, Kenny.
:27:09. > :27:14.APPLAUSE You've got a John Hannah cuddle as well! Let's meet some more
:27:15. > :27:23.Scottish people who've some making up to do. In the early hours of this
:27:24. > :27:27.morning I was here at the Glad Cafe in Glasgow where supporters of the
:27:28. > :27:32."Yes" and "No" campaigns were waiting to see if history would be
:27:33. > :27:36.changed forever. Scotland has by a majority decided not to, at this
:27:37. > :27:42.stage, to become an independent country. The sad fact is that where
:27:43. > :27:46.there's a winner there is also a loser. What does that mean for the
:27:47. > :27:50.future relationships between the two opposing camps? There's not going to
:27:51. > :27:55.be too much of a problem moving forward. It is not like we are not
:27:56. > :28:00.friends any more or whatever. There's hurt and pain, but we'll get
:28:01. > :28:06.on with it. Can we wake up this morning and be part of a United
:28:07. > :28:10.Kingdom? Yes. We definitely can. I really fight against that idea of
:28:11. > :28:14.division and I'm very sure that we are going to be able to go ahead and
:28:15. > :28:18.do some very interesting things in the next couple of months. I think
:28:19. > :28:22.those wounds, if you like, will heal. The difficulty will be for
:28:23. > :28:26.some politicians. I think it will be much harder for them to be forgiven.
:28:27. > :28:30.If you promise something you should deliver on it, otherwise it makes a
:28:31. > :28:34.mockery of everything that people have strived for on both sides. This
:28:35. > :28:40.could be the catalyst that could create a more up to date and
