:01:35. > :01:37.entered the debate. The former Prime Minister
:01:38. > :01:39.called for the Holyrood to be given more powers,
:01:40. > :01:42.while balancing that with the need for continued
:01:43. > :01:45.co-operation with Westminster. Here's our Scotland

:02:56. > :03:01.and fishing, VAT rates and the right to conclude international trade
:03:02. > :03:05.treaties were devolved to Scotland, he thinks there wouldn't need to be

:03:11. > :03:16.next week to request a referendum, does he think the Prime Minister
:03:17. > :03:18.should give her consent? I think it's very difficult
:03:19. > :03:23.for a British Parliament now to deny the Scottish people their right,
:03:24. > :03:26.if they wish to vote for it, But look, I want to wait and see

:03:39. > :03:40.on independence and the Westminster Government denies that request,
:03:41. > :03:44.would that be a mistake? I don't think the Westminster

:03:47. > :03:50.is saying, at the moment, She seems to be saying
:03:51. > :03:54.that she cannot block I'm not so sure that she alone can
:03:55. > :03:58.be the person who sets the timing. Nicola Sturgeon says she's willing

:04:20. > :04:24.to the intelligence services. From Paris, Lucy Williamson
:04:25. > :04:29.sent this report. Paris has got used to seeing
:04:30. > :04:34.security forces everywhere. As passengers queued for early
:04:35. > :04:41.morning flights, here at Orly, a 39-year-old man attacked
:04:42. > :04:45.a military patrol, wrestling a female soldier to the ground,
:04:46. > :04:49.in a bid to grab her weapon. He was quickly shot
:04:50. > :04:54.dead by her colleagues. TRANSLATION: He was holding
:04:55. > :04:56.the soldier by the neck and at the same time,
:04:57. > :04:59.he was holding onto her weapon. When we saw that, we realise
:05:00. > :05:01.today was really serious. The man has been nailed
:05:02. > :05:08.as Ziyed Ben Belgacem As Special Forces searched his
:05:09. > :05:13.flat today, his father, brother and a cousin
:05:14. > :05:18.were being questioned by police. The Paris prosecutor tonight said
:05:19. > :05:22.Ben Belgacem was radicalised while in prison for theft and drug
:05:23. > :05:25.offences and had arrived at the airport today
:05:26. > :05:30.with a Koran in his bag. TRANSLATION: He grabbed the soldier
:05:31. > :05:34.and walked backwards several metres, He said, "Put your weapons down
:05:35. > :05:41.and your hands on your head. Before arriving at Orly this
:05:42. > :05:50.morning, Ben Belgacem was stopped during a traffic check,
:05:51. > :05:55.where he shot a police officer He then hijacked another car
:05:56. > :06:00.and headed for the airport. Tonight, the southern terminal
:06:01. > :06:03.here at Orly has re-opened, as antiterrorist investigators
:06:04. > :06:06.begin their work. The cordon of security,
:06:07. > :06:09.that's gone up across this country over the past two years,
:06:10. > :06:13.held firm today, but it's another reminder of the fear that
:06:14. > :06:18.still haunts France. America and China say tensions
:06:19. > :06:25.on the Korean peninsula are now The US Secretary of State Rex
:06:26. > :06:30.Tillerson issued the warning alongside his Chinese counterpart
:06:31. > :06:32.in Beijing on the final stop Mr Tillerson is the first senior

:06:38. > :06:44.Carrie Gracie reports. On North Korea, China and the US
:06:45. > :06:51.find it hard to see eye to eye. Only hours before Mr Tillerson's
:06:52. > :06:55.arrival in Beijing, his boss tweeted a complaint that North Korea had
:06:56. > :07:00.behaved badly, playing the US for years, with China
:07:01. > :07:06.doing little to help. North Korean missiles,
:07:07. > :07:10.armed with nuclear warheads, may soon be able to hit,
:07:11. > :07:13.not just American military bases in Asia, but American cities
:07:14. > :07:19.on the other side of the world. North Korean missiles,
:07:20. > :07:25.armed with nuclear warheads, The US wants China to persuade
:07:26. > :07:28.its ally to give up this arsenal, but in public
:07:29. > :07:30.Mr Tillerson was diplomatic. We share a common view and a sense
:07:31. > :07:34.that tensions on the peninsular are quite high right now and that
:07:35. > :07:37.things have reached a rather dangerous level and we've committed
:07:38. > :07:40.ourselves to do everything we can to prevent any type
:07:41. > :07:46.of conflict from breaking out. But how to prevent conflict,
:07:47. > :07:52.that's where the common ground end. China wants the US to stop
:07:53. > :07:57.threatening North Korea TRANSLATION: We could either let
:07:58. > :08:04.the situation continue to escalate, which will finally lead to conflict,
:08:05. > :08:09.or implement UN resolutions and try to reach a breakthrough
:08:10. > :08:15.on restarting dialogue. Dialogue with this man,
:08:16. > :08:19.North Korea's Kim Jong-un. The US says it can't happen
:08:20. > :08:24.until he dismantels nuclear weapons. China says, without
:08:25. > :08:27.dialogue, he never will. And while the big powers
:08:28. > :08:30.are deadlocked, he moves ever closer And Carrie is live for us
:08:31. > :08:40.tonight in Beijing. And so today Mr Tillerson is due
:08:41. > :08:51.to meet the chinese president? Yes. That's right. Dawn is breaking
:08:52. > :08:54.here. It's Sunday morning. In a few hours, Mr Tillerson will make a
:08:55. > :08:58.courtesy call on the Chinese president. It's a courtesy call with
:08:59. > :09:03.a purpose on this occasion. We believe they're going to formalise
:09:04. > :09:08.the ip I have tags from President Trump -- invitation from President
:09:09. > :09:15.Trump to visit Mr Trump's Florida resort next month for a summit. A
:09:16. > :09:18.lot will be at stake. There have been conflicting signals from the
:09:19. > :09:22.Trump administration on China. On the one hand, President Trump
:09:23. > :09:26.talking very tough on issues like North Korea, as we've just seen, but
:09:27. > :09:32.also on trade. On the other hand, backing down on some of his threats,
:09:33. > :09:36.for example, on re-examining the relationship with Taiwan. So
:09:37. > :09:41.no-one's really quite sure what the US policy on China is right now. Is
:09:42. > :09:48.it one of confrontation? Or is it one of engagement? So, it's very key
:09:49. > :09:51.To see how this summit goes and whether these two presidents can
:09:52. > :09:55.form of kind the personal trust which would enable them to overcome
:09:56. > :10:00.their natural rivalry. Thank you.
:10:01. > :10:03.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on the second day of their official
:10:04. > :10:06.visit to Paris, have met survivors of the Paris terror attacks in 2015,
:10:07. > :10:12.The couple heard their moving stories about the atrocity and
:10:13. > :10:14.praised them for their bravery. Our royal correspondent,
:10:15. > :10:16.Nicholas Witchell reports. Royal visits are all about the big
:10:17. > :10:19.picture and the shared experiences And so at Les Invalides,
:10:20. > :10:24.the military hospital in Paris, the Duke and Duchess met some
:10:25. > :10:29.of France's Second The will to stand together then
:10:30. > :10:35.remains strong today. On a morning when Paris was dealing
:10:36. > :10:39.with the incident at Orly airport, William and Katherine met two people
:10:40. > :10:42.who were victims of the Paris attacks in November 2015,
:10:43. > :10:47.when Islamist gunmen killed 130 people at the Bataclan theatre
:10:48. > :10:51.and other locations. They spoke to a fireman, who was in
:10:52. > :10:55.the audience at the Bataclan. Which is the hardest thing,
:10:56. > :10:58.the physical injuries They had both been
:10:59. > :11:04.a challenge, he said. Then they met a woman who was shot
:11:05. > :11:08.seven times that night. How is it for you re-adjusting
:11:09. > :11:12.to everyday life? Alongside personal encounters
:11:13. > :11:15.like these is the visit's overall purpose, and for once,
:11:16. > :11:18.as Brexit negotiations William and Katherine
:11:19. > :11:23.launched a programme called "les voisins",
:11:24. > :11:26.the neighbours, emphasising all those things from youth
:11:27. > :11:28.and sporting programmes to defence and economic issues which bind
:11:29. > :11:33.Britain and France together. The underlying message of a royal
:11:34. > :11:37.visit is often quite a subtle The message of this visit
:11:38. > :11:43.is that the relationship between Britain and France
:11:44. > :11:47.is so robust that Brexit need make Or as the Queen herself put it,
:11:48. > :11:55.in a message William read to a dinner at the British Embassy
:11:56. > :11:57.last night, "The ties which have stood the test
:11:58. > :12:00.of time will continue to prosper." England's dream of back-to-back

:12:16. > :12:18.from setting a world record of 19 There is flash photography in his
:12:19. > :12:28.report. They arrived here as champions, now
:12:29. > :12:32.England aimed to be record breakers. This team chasing history

:12:44. > :12:45.ideas the mood in Dublin At the end of a disappointing
:12:46. > :12:48.campaign, the hosts had a point to prove,
:12:49. > :12:50.especially here in a city In a game of shuddering intensity,
:12:51. > :12:58.the tone was set early on. English hopes of
:12:59. > :13:01.Grand Slams have been wrecked here before and sustained
:13:02. > :13:04.Irish pressure ended with Ian England 10-3 down at
:13:05. > :13:12.half-time and lucky not all of England's points
:13:13. > :13:19.came from the boot of Owen Farrell, the deficit cut
:13:20. > :13:22.to just four soon after the restart. It would be the Irish
:13:23. > :13:31.who continued to England turned to the bench for
:13:32. > :13:36.inspiration. This time it was lacking. The visitors never really
:13:37. > :13:41.threatening. Last year, Ireland ended New Zealand's 18-match winning
:13:42. > :13:45.streak. Now they've denied another bid for greatness. Chastened,
:13:46. > :13:50.England were at least champions. But they must now reflect on a first
:13:51. > :13:56.defeat in the Eddie Jones era. This was like a World Cup final. We got
:13:57. > :13:59.beat 13 hot 9. You -- 13-9. You come away with the Silver Medal. It
:14:00. > :14:05.doesn't taste good. It makes you want to get the Gold Medal. It was
:14:06. > :14:08.more about courage than class. In the first 20 minutes, that's where
:14:09. > :14:11.we built a bit of confidence in the game. This is not the way that
:14:12. > :14:15.England will have planned to celebrate winning the Six Nations.
:14:16. > :14:20.This side has come a long way in a short time. But today they failed to
:14:21. > :14:24.grasp a unique chance to do what no other international team has ever
:14:25. > :14:28.achieved. England's aim is to be the best in the world, but today showed
:14:29. > :14:31.there's still some way to go. A night of mixed emotions then for
:14:32. > :14:34.England. This will hurt, but it could just be the making of them.
