:00:20. > :00:24.An airport in Paris has been entirely evacuated and all flights

:00:25. > :00:27.redirected after a man was shot dead by security forces.

:00:28. > :00:30.He wrestled a soldier to the ground and took her rifle.

:00:31. > :00:36.Police said he was on a security watch list in a country that

:00:37. > :00:38.remains on high alert for terror attacks.

:00:39. > :00:48.Once again French security forces scramble to deal

:00:49. > :00:57.with an incident in the capital, this time at Orly Airport.

:00:58. > :01:04.These elite officers know that a man inside,

:01:05. > :01:06.who tried to grab a soldier's gun, has been shot dead

:01:07. > :01:09.but they don't know if there are any other suspects

:01:10. > :01:12.still on the loose in the terminal, or if there are explosives.

:01:13. > :01:14.Meanwhile, thousands of passengers poured out of the building

:01:15. > :01:16.after being ordered to evacuate and are now stranded.

:01:17. > :01:35.TRANSLATION: He was holding a soldier by the neck.

:01:36. > :01:37.And at the same time, he was holding on to her weapon.

:01:38. > :01:41.When we saw that, we realised it was really serious and reran away.

:01:42. > :01:45.The security forces have not found any other suspect but say the man

:01:46. > :01:47.who was killed was known to the intelligence agencies and had

:01:48. > :01:50.shot and lightly injured a police officer in the city earlier.

:01:51. > :01:53.Part of the airport may remain closed until this evening

:01:54. > :01:55.with anti-terrorism officials now dealing with the case.

:01:56. > :02:04.Gordon Brown has entered the debate on whether there should be a second

:02:05. > :02:06.referendum on Scottish independence by calling for a "third

:02:07. > :02:13.The former Prime Minister says it's possible to balance the call

:02:14. > :02:15.for autonomy with the need for continued

:02:16. > :02:18.He called for more powers to be devolved after Brexit.

:02:19. > :02:23.Here's our Political Correspondent, Iain Watson.

:02:24. > :02:27.This is everyone's flag. Everyone's country. Everyone's culture and

:02:28. > :02:29.everyone's streets. At the 2014 referendum

:02:30. > :02:33.he was credited Gordon Brown says voters in Scotland

:02:34. > :02:44.shouldn't have a stark choice between independence

:02:45. > :02:53.and the Conservative Under my proposals we keep the

:02:54. > :02:56.Barnett Formula and keep the fiscal transfers, but we bring the powers

:02:57. > :02:59.to deal with agriculture and fisheries back to the Scottish

:03:00. > :03:03.Parliament. So you have the powers and you have the resources, the

:03:04. > :03:04.Conservatives won't give you the powers, and the nationalists can't

:03:05. > :03:11.raise the resources, we can do both. His solution is to strengthen the

:03:12. > :03:13.Scottish Parliament after Brexit. It would take powers back

:03:14. > :03:16.from Brussels, get control of VAT rates and negotiate treaties

:03:17. > :03:23.with other European countries. So the world has changed, but it

:03:24. > :03:27.hasn't changed the way that the Scottish National Party want it to

:03:28. > :03:31.be. The world as changed in the sense that we've got to face up to

:03:32. > :03:36.the post Brexit realities, but it doesn't make the case for

:03:37. > :03:39.independence stronger. I'm afraid it makes the case weaker, but it does

:03:40. > :03:43.make the case for what I am proposing.

:03:44. > :03:47.Here at the SNP conference they are not too chuffed. They think Gordon

:03:48. > :03:51.brown is trying to overshadow Nicola Sturgeon's big speech, but they say

:03:52. > :03:57.even if his ideas were credible, Labour would simply have no means of

:03:58. > :04:00.delivering them. The Labour Party is in third place in Scotland. It's not

:04:01. > :04:04.even a political force. The Labour Party is divided in Westminster.

:04:05. > :04:10.Labour basically couldn't deliver a pizza!

:04:11. > :04:16.Nicola Sturgeon intends to keep her focus on full independence.

:04:17. > :04:18.Live now to our Scotland Editor, Sarah Smith, who is in Kirkcaldy.

:04:19. > :04:23.So Sarah, why is Gordon Brown intervening now?

:04:24. > :04:29.Well, he says that this third option, as he calls it, is an answer

:04:30. > :04:34.to Scotland's constitutional question. So he's speaking out now

:04:35. > :04:36.in the midst of this battle between Nicola Sturgeon and Theresa May over

:04:37. > :04:39.whether there will be another referendum on Scottish independence.

:04:40. > :04:42.Gordon brown says that can be avoided if more powers were

:04:43. > :04:46.transferred to the Scottish Parliament and people were to adopt

:04:47. > :04:50.his plan, but the problem for the Labour Party is it is very difficult

:04:51. > :04:54.to get voters to listen to them at a time when they are watching the

:04:55. > :04:58.battle between the SNP and the Tories play out and there is a

:04:59. > :05:02.credibility issue, Gordon brown is promising new powers for the

:05:03. > :05:06.Scottish Parliament during the 2014 referendum and there is a perception

:05:07. > :05:09.that they simply were not delivered so people may not believe him this

:05:10. > :05:13.time that more powers would be coming to Scotland if there isn't a

:05:14. > :05:16.referendum on independence. Sarah, thank you.

:05:17. > :05:19.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on the second day of their official

:05:20. > :05:22.visit to Paris, have been meeting survivors of the Islamist attacks

:05:23. > :05:25.Our Royal Correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, is in Paris.

:05:26. > :05:41.It is 16 months since those attacks in November 2015. This city has been

:05:42. > :05:47.reminded this morning of the nature of the threat and the need for

:05:48. > :05:50.vigilance by the incident at Orly. But the military hospital in Paris

:05:51. > :05:53.the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met two people caught up in the

:05:54. > :05:57.attack on the Bataclan and a restaurant in the city that night.

:05:58. > :06:00.They sat in a room with them. They heard about what happened that

:06:01. > :06:03.evening. They heard about their recovery which has been both a

:06:04. > :06:09.physical and a mental recovery from the trauma of those attacks. Also,

:06:10. > :06:13.William and Catherine met veterans of World War II and that's a

:06:14. > :06:15.reminder, you know, that Royal visits are about the bigger picture

:06:16. > :06:19.of the relationship between two countries and the message of this

:06:20. > :06:24.Royal visit, of course, is very much that the relationship between

:06:25. > :06:28.Britain and France is so multi-layered, is so robust that

:06:29. > :06:29.Brexit need make no material difference to it.

:06:30. > :06:32.Nick, thank you. You can see more on all of today's

:06:33. > :06:56.stories on the BBC News Channel. Hello there. A very good afternoon

:06:57. > :07:00.to you. It is a cloudy story out there for most of us for the rest of

:07:01. > :07:04.the day and if you're settling into take in some of the Six Nations

:07:05. > :07:08.action expect cloudy skies overhead at our matches in Edinburgh, Paris

:07:09. > :07:11.and Dublin. Could be just the odd spot of rain around as well. That

:07:12. > :07:15.really is the story for most of us this afternoon. This from one of our

:07:16. > :07:18.Weather Watchers in Worcestershire earlier on.
