Hi, I'm Martin with your special Newsround update, live from Glasgow | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
in Scotland, with just 24 hours before people vote on whether | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Scotland will become independent or stay as part of the UK. | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
Good morning. I am live in a school in Glasgow. People aged 16 and above | :00:18. | :00:33. | |
will be able to vote tomorrow, but for children at the school, they are | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
getting the chance to get their say with their very own pretend | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
referendum vote. They have some polling station is here, and they | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
have got neighbours, and after they make their vote at the station, the | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
book their paper in the ballot box, which will get counted. What is your | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
role today? I am the polling officer, registering everyone and | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
giving them the ballot paper. What have you been getting up to in the | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
build-up? There have been crusted beats, speeches at assemblies, | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
people have been putting up posters and wearing badges. I have another | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
pupil, who is voting yes. Why are you voting yes? We have a chance to | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
build a better society, and we should take it. You are on the | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
opposite side. If we leave the UK, there is no going back, and that | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
scares me. We have got some people who are undecided. Why are you | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
undecided? They are both such strong sides with even points, so it is | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
hard to choose. Everyone is shouting at you what to vote, but you should | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
think before you take the chance. Thanks very much. Over the past two | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
weeks, I have been covering the length and breadth of Scotland | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
covering this referendum. My latest report comes from a ship will bring | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
town in Greenock, would I found out what kids thought there. -- | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
shipbuilding. Ship building has long been a part of Scottish history. It | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
became important in the 19th-century when steam power began sail power. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Ship builders made ships out of Ireland for people all around the | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
world. Companies in Greenock made ships to carry food and cloth to | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
other countries, but during the 1960s and 1970s, ship building went | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
into the claim because of competition from other countries. | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Life became difficult for people living in areas like this, as many | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
people lost their jobs. Today some ships are still built here. I wanted | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
to find out what it is like growing up in an area like this. So I | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
travelled up, to meet some of the kids. I play in my garden or go to a | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
friend 's house play computer games, because they'd is not very much I | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
can do. Bidders apart at the end of the road, -- there is a park at the | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
end of the road, so I play the. I would like some of the buildings | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
changed, because some of them are cracked and ugly. What would you | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
like to do? I would like a park nearby because there are only a | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
couple of parks I can go to, but they are far away from my house. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
This area has seen a lot of changes over the years but it still plays a | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
part in the shipbuilding industry, but it can be a battle to keep | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
shipyards open. With one almost having to be closed last month, the | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
future is still uncertain for areas like Greenock. We know that a lot | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
has been happening in the build-up to this referendum, so we got you | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
guys to send in your questions. Maybe there were some niggling | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
things you did not understand. So we sent your questions to the BBC's | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
political expert. The yes campaign say it would still | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
be pounds and pence, just as no. The yes campaign say it would still | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
be pounds and pence, just as now. Others say that would not be | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
possible, and Scotland could have There are the Olympic Games in | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
a couple of years, and under which It looks as if they could either | :04:23. | :04:39. | |
perform for Team GB or team Scotland, because it is not easy | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
to sort out a team in time. Those who want | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
an independent Scotland say that the Queen would stay, and she would | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
become the Queen of Scots, just as she is the Queen in England and | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
Northern Ireland and Wales and many There is an acceptance that if it is | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
a yes vote, the Queen will stay. I picked up my phone, phoned some | :05:12. | :05:22. | |
experts, they have no idea either. There is nothing in the rules to | :05:23. | :05:33. | |
determine what would happen Voting starts at 9am, so I'd better | :05:34. | :05:51. | |
get out of here. Don't forget, we will be live in Edinburgh, at | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
4:20pm. From all of us here, goodbye. | :05:58. | :06:12. | |
