: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

: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
