:02:11. > :02:14.weeks. This campaign is moving very fast with claims and counterclaims
:02:15. > :02:20.by the politicians being scrutinised by an increasingly well-informed
:02:21. > :02:25.electorate in Scotland. In less than two weeks Scotland's future will be
:02:26. > :02:29.settled. Two small words, yes and no, reflecting the momentous
:02:30. > :02:34.decision ahead. For those out campaigning no moment is wasted.
:02:35. > :02:38.Both sides are all too aware that this race is increasingly too close
:02:39. > :02:43.to call. Today for the first time one poll predicted the union is
:02:44. > :02:49.about to end. It made headlines, set the political agenda, the Chancellor
:02:50. > :02:52.offering this if the Scots vote no. You will see in the next few days a
:02:53. > :02:56.plan of action to give more powers to Scotland, more tax powers, more
:02:57. > :03:02.spending powers, more plans and powers over the welfare state. And
:03:03. > :03:05.that will be put into effect, the timetable for delivering that will

:03:15. > :03:18.more powers to Scotland, so what example is if they are going to lay
:03:19. > :03:22.on the table week? Downing Street tell me this is all about delivering
:03:23. > :03:26.the next stage of devolution, giving a guaranteed to Scotland of more
:03:27. > :03:31.powers and setting out a process through which those powers will be
:03:32. > :03:35.delivered. Those campaigning for independence say the pro union offer
:03:36. > :03:40.is a panicky bribe, which contains nothing new, and does not stand up
:03:41. > :03:44.to scrutiny. If this was a significant new offer, as opposed to
:03:45. > :03:47.a panic measure, because the Westminster elite are losing this
:03:48. > :03:51.campaign, then wouldn't we have heard about it before hundreds of
:03:52. > :03:54.thousands of people of Scotland have already cast their ballots by post?
:03:55. > :04:00.This is a ridiculous position being put forward by the No campaign in
:04:01. > :04:04.terminal trouble. Up until now the polls suggested a majority favoured
:04:05. > :04:07.the union. Today's is the first to indicate more voters seem to want
:04:08. > :04:15.independence. So is momentum shifting? It looks as though the yes
:04:16. > :04:17.side is in a strong position as it has been at any point in this
:04:18. > :04:21.campaign but whether there has been the kind of dramatic swing YouGov
:04:22. > :04:28.suggests we need other polls to confirm or deny it. There are now
:04:29. > :04:32.just ten full days of campaigning left. With so much at stake, both
:04:33. > :04:33.sides are now pushing harder than ever to bring voters into their
:04:34. > :04:41.fold. We can speak to Lorna live now. To
:04:42. > :04:44.what extent do we know about the detail of these extra powers the
:04:45. > :04:48.Chancellor has indicated would be on offer in the event of the No vote?
:04:49. > :04:54.Is there any agreement in Westminster on this? We know that
:04:55. > :05:00.all three prounion parties are keen to devolve more powers to Scotland,
:05:01. > :05:05.at what they are offering varies greatly from party to party. It has
:05:06. > :05:08.been a very confusing few hours. Watch the Chancellor appears to be
:05:09. > :05:12.setting out is a timetable for devolving those additional powers to
:05:13. > :05:16.Scotland, but it seems there are unlikely to be additional powers
:05:17. > :05:20.beyond those that have already been promised. He seems to be talking
:05:21. > :05:25.about the process of devolution, rather than the detail. The Yes
:05:26. > :05:28.campaign say this points to a No campaign which is in disarray. They
:05:29. > :05:33.have a spring in their step because of that and also because of this
:05:34. > :05:39.poll, which for the first time shows them ahead. But of course caution is
:05:40. > :05:43.needed when dealing with polls, and another poll today showed the pro
:05:44. > :05:46.union side still ahead. I think we are in uncharted territory here when
:05:47. > :05:52.it comes to this referendum. Both sides say there is no time for
