:00:08. > :00:12.In the last weekend before the referendum, each side
:00:13. > :00:23.What they will hear from the Yes campaign is a positive vision about
:00:24. > :00:28.the future of Scotland. On that ground we stand, and on that ground
:00:29. > :00:32.we're winning. I'm confident of victory but I'm not complacent. I'm
:00:33. > :00:35.working as hard as everybody in the campaign. We are all doing an
:00:36. > :00:39.immense amount of work up and down the country.
:00:40. > :00:42.We'll be looking at the latest opinion polls which this evening
:00:43. > :00:49.Ukrainian government troops say they've repelled an attack

:01:00. > :01:24.There's been a frenetic round of campaigning for votes in the last

:01:28. > :01:32.Today, a rally in Edinburgh in support
:01:33. > :01:35.of the Union was joined by thousands of people from all over the United
:01:36. > :01:39.Kingdom - while campaigners for a Yes vote started delivering leaflets
:01:40. > :01:45.We'll take a closer look at the polls in a moment,
:01:46. > :01:48.but first with just five days left before Scotland decides, here's
:01:49. > :01:59.On Scotland's streets, politics has come alive. Westminster
:02:00. > :02:06.politicians... They'll make a better job of it. So they are better than
:02:07. > :02:10.us now? Are they? Passion aplenty, as a nation debates its future. Go
:02:11. > :02:18.out and persuade one more of our fellow citizens to join this great
:02:19. > :02:22.Yes campaign. Will you do that? Yes. Yes campaigners, for so long the
:02:23. > :02:25.underdogs, are now fired up. The First Minister, Alex Salmond, is
:02:26. > :02:29.touring town after town this weekend. He continues to dismiss
:02:30. > :02:35.concerns about the cost of independence, insisting voters are
:02:36. > :02:40.being turned off by his opponents' negative images. -- messages What
:02:41. > :02:44.people will hear from the Yes campaign is a positive vision on the
:02:45. > :02:48.future of Scotland. On that ground we stand and on that ground we are
:02:49. > :02:53.winning. From the Highlands to the lowlands, Scotland today is a nation
:02:54. > :02:56.frantic with political activity. This is the busiest day's
:02:57. > :03:01.campaigning in this country's history, as it tries to decide Yes,
:03:02. > :03:06.or No. In the heart of Glasgow, campaigners
:03:07. > :03:11.against independence were out in force. Their message - we're at
:03:12. > :03:21.patriotic as the next Scot and we don't want disruption and disunity.
:03:22. > :03:26.How are you? There was no missing the same message in Edinburgh, it
:03:27. > :03:29.was hammered home by thousands of Orangemen, marching through the
:03:30. > :03:31.city, in support of the union. This campaign has brought political
:03:32. > :03:37.friend and foe together, to campaign for the same cause. Well, I'm
:03:38. > :03:40.confident of victory, but I'm not complacent. I'm working as hard as
:03:41. > :03:44.everybody in the campaign. We are all doing an immense amount of work
:03:45. > :03:48.right up and down the country. It is clear that the silent majority is
:03:49. > :03:52.finding its voice as we enter the closing stages. I am looking forward
:03:53. > :03:57.to polling day and to the result, confident but still a lot of work to
:03:58. > :04:00.do between now and then. For Scotland, the stakes are getting
:04:01. > :04:04.higher, the referendum ever-closer. Well, today there have been further
:04:05. > :04:06.warnings about the possible negative consequences
:04:07. > :04:09.of Scottish independence. Deutsche Bank said
:04:10. > :04:12.a Yes vote would be comparable to the mistakes that led to the
:04:13. > :04:15.Great Depression of the 1930s. It's a claim rejected
:04:16. > :04:31.by the Business for Scotland group, It's been a week of bleak head Lynx
:04:32. > :04:35.and dire warnings from big business. Banks said they moved south and
:04:36. > :04:39.retailers said prices would go up, now another, possibly the most
:04:40. > :04:42.pessimistic of all It would be catastrophic economically for
:04:43. > :04:45.Scotland, bordering on the depression in Scotland that would
:04:46. > :04:49.last a number of years. A few reasons for that. First up is
:04:50. > :04:52.Scottish national institutions, mainly banks would lose access to
:04:53. > :04:56.bore ying from the Bank of England, a Central Bank. The Deutsche Bank
:04:57. > :05:00.report also said that companies and Scottish shoppers would stop
:05:01. > :05:06.spending, due to the uncertaintive a Yes vote. That was echoed by a
:05:07. > :05:08.letter from large retailers including B and Marks and
:05:09. > :05:12.Spencers, who warned today that families would have to spend even
:05:13. > :05:15.more on their weekly shop as prices would rise. But that was dismissed
:05:16. > :05:17.by companies in favour of independence, who said Scotland
:05:18. > :05:22.would be one of the richest new countries in the world. The point to
:05:23. > :05:28.this is it is bluff and bluster. They are talking really an economic
:05:29. > :05:32.tsunami that would affect Scotland on the basing of independence. But
:05:33. > :05:36.this is being superceded because the banks have said they would move
:05:37. > :05:40.their registered offices under certain circumstances to London so
:05:41. > :05:45.they would have the protection of the lender of the last resort in
:05:46. > :05:49.England. What has changed is the sudden realisation in financial
:05:50. > :05:54.centres that Scottish independence would have massive ramifications.
:05:55. > :06:00.Over the past weeks some of Britain's largest companies, mostly
:06:01. > :06:05.based here in London have warned of the consequences of a Yes vote but
:06:06. > :06:07.they will not be deciding. It will be decided by the Scottish people on
:06:08. > :06:11.Thursday. #12k3w4r
:06:12. > :06:14.Well, tonight many of the Sunday newspapers have details
:06:15. > :06:17.The latest Poll of Polls suggests support for the No
:06:18. > :06:20.campaign stands at 51%, with 49% for Yes, indicating that it
:06:21. > :06:23.Well, let's go now to our Political Correspondent,
:06:24. > :06:33.Iain, is really is on a knife-edge now, isn't it? It is. Let me
:06:34. > :06:38.underline why it is too close to call. One poll is showing the No
:06:39. > :06:44.campaign up at 54% but it was commissioned by the No campaign.
:06:45. > :06:50.Another puts the Yes campaign, at 54% but, it talked to you fooer
:06:51. > :06:55.voters than many other pollsters. It is against it backdrop where we are
:06:56. > :07:00.seeing political trunch warfare with the big guns being wheeled out. Tony
:07:01. > :07:04.Blair said it wouldn't be sensible economically or emotionally to rip
:07:05. > :07:11.up the UK. Gordon Brown said if an independent Scotland failed to pay
:07:12. > :07:16.its share of UK debts, it could end up as the Germany that contributed
:07:17. > :07:20.to the rise to Hitler. So we are seeing strong rhetoric in the run-up
:07:21. > :07:27.to this referendum during the course of the week. And I think we are also
:07:28. > :07:32.seeing, potentially, Reeta, conventional political wisdom turned
:07:33. > :07:35.on its head. If you are getting big businesses and big beasts saying
:07:36. > :07:38.here are dire warnings, if it was a Westminster election, would you
:07:39. > :07:42.expect any particular political party under that kind of criticism
:07:43. > :07:44.to be losing votes but here, the Yes campaign are trying to turn these
:07:45. > :07:49.interventions to their own advantage. They are saying - we are
:07:50. > :07:53.the plucky underdogs standing up against the bullies and as we have
:07:54. > :07:57.seen, their vote share is holding up. Tomorrow on the Andrew Marr
:07:58. > :08:03.programme on BBC One, the leaders of the Yes and No campaigns, Alex
:08:04. > :08:07.Salmond and Alistair Darling will be devoting the issue, with the future
:08:08. > :08:12.of the UK on a knife edge. Thank you very much. A 36-year-old man has
:08:13. > :08:21.been charged with the murder of mother of five, penny Davies in New
:08:22. > :08:25.Hampshire. The accused will appear in court on Monday.
:08:26. > :08:26.In eastern Ukraine, there's been heavy fighting
:08:27. > :08:30.That's despite the ceasefire agreed a week ago between the government
:08:31. > :08:33.Ukrainian soldiers say they've repelled an attack
:08:34. > :08:36.by rebels who control much of the rest of the city.
:08:37. > :08:43.From Donetsk, our World Affairs correspondent, Paul Adams, reports.
:08:44. > :08:51.Deserted streets on the way to Donetsk Airport. Rebels said to be
:08:52. > :08:54.mounting an assault. We make the final approach on foot, through an
:08:55. > :09:04.area that's seen plenty of fighting in recent weeks.
:09:05. > :09:11.Cl Most of what we are hearing at the moment is machine gun and small
:09:12. > :09:14.arms fire. Every now and again an artillery round. The airport is just
:09:15. > :09:19.over this bridge here. We are not very har from it at all. At the last
:09:20. > :09:23.-- far from it. At the last checkpoint before the airport, the
:09:24. > :09:30.soldiers seem relaxed but now the gunfire is close.
:09:31. > :09:35.Tank rounds are landing behind the trees, on the far side of the
:09:36. > :09:40.bridge. The airport is somewhere beyond. This has been a flashpoint
:09:41. > :09:48.for months, but today's fighting seems more intense. It's not the
:09:49. > :09:54.only part of the city where the ceasefire feels like a fiction. In
:09:55. > :10:02.this suburb, buildings are scarred, nerves shredded. "Why are they doing
:10:03. > :10:07.this to me, I'm Ukrainian", this woman says.
:10:08. > :10:11.Nearby, another volley of shells sends people running for an air raid
:10:12. > :10:13.shelter. Some have been living here for months. They don't know when it
:10:14. > :10:25.will be safe to leave. The Premier League returned today
:10:26. > :10:29.after the iternational break. All the goals are on Match
:10:30. > :10:32.of the Day after the news. It's on slightly later
:10:33. > :10:34.if you're watching in Scotland. But if you want the results now,
:10:35. > :10:37.then here they come. Diego Costa scored a hatrick
:10:38. > :10:39.for Chelsea against Swansea It finished 4-2 at Stamford Bridge
:10:40. > :10:45.to make it four wins out of four and Newcastle are bottom of the table
:10:46. > :10:49.after a 4-0 defeat at Southampton. Manager, Alan Pardew,
:10:50. > :10:52.failed to attend the post-match news conference with his position
:10:53. > :10:55.looking increasingly precarious. Saints move
:10:56. > :10:59.into the top four with the win. Elsewhere the Champions Manchester
:11:00. > :11:01.City got a late equaliser Burnley had a penalty saved in their
:11:02. > :11:07.goalless draw at Crystal Palace. Gabby Agbonlahor's winner
:11:08. > :11:09.at Liverpool moved Aston Villa up Leicester's first win
:11:10. > :11:12.of the season came at Stoke. Sunderland and Spurs drew 2-2
:11:13. > :11:15.and West Brom lost 2-2 There was relief for the
:11:16. > :11:23.Scottish Champions Celtic. After failing to win
:11:24. > :11:25.in their last four matches, Kris Commons scored
:11:26. > :11:28.their second goal. They are now three points
:11:29. > :11:30.behind the new leaders Hamilton There were also wins for Kilmarnock,
:11:31. > :11:36.Partick, Motherwell and Dundee. Rory Mcilroy is one of five players
:11:37. > :11:40.in Atalanta who can win the richest If he claims the Tour Championship,
:11:41. > :11:45.he would also win the overall Fedex title and with it
:11:46. > :11:48.a ?6 million pound bonus. He's nearing the end
:11:49. > :11:56.of his third round he is currently joint leader at
:11:57. > :12:02.9-under. Now, a new motorsport series started
:12:03. > :12:05.today and there are some familiar drivers involved, Prost, Piquet,
:12:06. > :12:07.Senna, sons and relatives of the Formula One greats,
:12:08. > :12:09.but there the simlarity ends. The cars in Formula E are powered
:12:10. > :12:11.by batteries. The 10 race series ends in London
:12:12. > :12:13.next summer. Today's Beijing opener was marked
:12:14. > :12:21.by a spectacular crash Jeremy Betts These the dramatic final scenes to a
:12:22. > :12:25.race that had been far from electrifying. It is an Grand Prix
:12:26. > :12:30.Championship but not as we know it. The roars, fumes and high octane
:12:31. > :12:37.replaced by high voltage. Beijing provided the iconic setting and a
:12:38. > :12:41.familiar name occupied pole, Nico Prost, son of Alain led the way. The
:12:42. > :12:45.cars can reach top speeds of around 140 miles per hour. But the
:12:46. > :12:47.batteries have a short life span forcing drivers to change to a
:12:48. > :12:52.second vehicle half way through. Once Prost had, it seemed the
:12:53. > :12:57.Frenchman was on course to claim a maiden victory. A nervous dad and
:12:58. > :13:00.team owner looked on but nick Heidfeld was closing the gap. It
:13:01. > :13:07.narrowed to the point where this happened. Fortunately Heidfeld
:13:08. > :13:15.wasn't hurt so the opening race was wondy default by Lucas di Grassi. It
:13:16. > :13:19.may be heralded as a cleaner motor sport but not one for pushovers.
:13:20. > :13:22.Two Cycling tours finish tomorrow, Alberto Contador should win
:13:23. > :13:24.his third Vuelta Espana as he leads Britain's Chris Froome

:13:34. > :13:44.That's all the sport. Thank you very much. You can see
:13:45. > :13:46.more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel but that's all
:13:47. > :14:02.from me. Good night. Good evening. Well, Saturday
:14:03. > :14:07.promised to be quite a fine day across the country and we did see
:14:08. > :14:09.some good spells of sunshine, a top temperature of 23 Celsius in
:14:10. > :14:11.Southampton. Through the course of the overnight period it stays fine
:14:12. > :14:13.and settled across the
