:00:00. > :00:00.Scotland's First Minister issues a fresh warning

:00:07. > :00:08.to the Prime Minister, in the row over another

:00:09. > :00:12.Nicola Sturgeon says if Theresa May blocked the vote,

:00:13. > :00:15.it would "shatter beyond repair" the idea of the UK as

:00:16. > :00:27.Let the Prime Minister be in no doubt, the will of our Parliament

:00:28. > :00:30.must, and will, prevail. Elsewhere, Gordon Brown sets out his vision,

:00:31. > :00:33.with a third option Also tonight, chaos at an airport

:00:34. > :00:37.in Paris, as a suspected radical Islamist is shot dead

:00:38. > :00:43.after attacking a soldier. The crisis over North

:00:44. > :00:47.Korea and its missiles. America and China

:00:48. > :00:52.issue a joint warning. And England's Grand Slam bubble,

:00:53. > :00:55.bursts against a green wall. How Ireland shatter England's

:00:56. > :00:57.dream of back-to-back Scotland's First Minister,

:00:58. > :01:23.Nicola Sturgeon, has warned Theresa May not to block her plan

:01:24. > :01:26.for a second independence referendum, if it's endorsed by

:01:27. > :01:31.the Scottish Parliament next week. She was addressing the SNP

:01:32. > :01:34.conference today in Aberdeen. Elsewhere, Gordon Brown

: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

:01:46. > :01:50.editor Sarah Smith. And Nicola Sturgeon excited her

:01:51. > :01:55.party conference with a defiant message aimed directly

:01:56. > :02:00.at Theresa May and her refusal She has time to think again

:02:01. > :02:05.and I hope she does. If her concern is timing,

:02:06. > :02:09.then within reason, I am happy But let the Prime Minister be in no

:02:10. > :02:17.doubt, the will of our Parliament The Tories' reluctance to allow

:02:18. > :02:26.Scotland a choice isn't They are now terrified of

:02:27. > :02:33.the verdict of the Scottish people. So the First Minister is now locked

:02:34. > :02:38.in this battle with the PM. And a former Prime Minister has just

:02:39. > :02:41.invited himself right In a speech in Kirkcaldy

:02:42. > :02:46.here today, Gordon Brown says I fear for bitter,

:02:47. > :02:55.acrimonious debate. If new powers over agriculture

: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

:03:06. > :03:10.a vote on full independence. When the Scottish Parliament vote

: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

:03:27. > :03:32.what the Scottish Parliament does. I want to wait and see

:03:33. > :03:34.what the Conservative So to be absolutely clear,

:03:35. > :03:38.if the Scottish Government formally requests a referendum

: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

:03:45. > :03:46.Government is saying What the Westminster Government

: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

:03:59. > :04:02.to talk about when a referendum might happen but is determined

:04:03. > :04:05.there will be a vote A man's been shot dead at Orly

:04:06. > :04:14.international airport in France, after attempting to seize a gun

:04:15. > :04:17.from a soldier on duty. The incident forced

:04:18. > :04:19.the airport to close Police said the man was known

: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

:06:33. > :06:37.Trump administration From Beijing, our China editor

: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

:12:01. > :12:10.Grand Slams in the Six Nations have been shattered,

:12:11. > :12:11.after Ireland beat England had already won

:12:12. > :12:15.the championship, but today's defeat means they've been prevented

: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

:12:33. > :12:43.rather than a trophy. Ireland however had other

: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.

:14:35. > :14:44.Dan Roan, BBC News, Dublin. It has just been announced that the

:14:45. > :14:56.legendary musician Chuck Berry has died aged 90. Famed for those

:14:57. > :15:01.rock'n'roll classics, he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in

:15:02. > :15:02.1984. Police confirmed he passed away this afternoon in his home

:15:03. > :15:05.state of Missouri. You can see more on all of today's

:15:06. > :15:25.stories on the BBC News Channel. Good evening. There's been quite a

:15:26. > :15:30.bit of rain so far this evening across the north and the west of the

:15:31. > :15:32.UK. There's plenty more to come overnight. Strong winds too.
