two weeks' time. That | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Are Good evening. The Scottish Government insists the country will | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
be still able to remain in the European Union, even if there's a | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
vote in favour of independence. It was responding to the President of | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, who said an application | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
from Scotland to join the European Union would need the approval of all | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
member states. Andrew Kerr reports. A lack of unity in the European | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
union could be a block to an independent Scotland's membership. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
The president of the European commission has already said that | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
Scotland would not automatically be a new member. He seemed to go even | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
further today on the Andrew Marr show, talking about the possibility | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
of other states having a veto over a new membership. It is a new country. | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
I believe it is going to be a truly difficult, if not impossible, a new | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
member state coming out of another member country, getting agreement of | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
the others. That is for the British people and the Scottish people, of | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
course to decide about that. He made particular reference to the | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
Government of Spain, who have opposition to independence movements | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
in Catalonia and the bask country. His intervention was dismissed by | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
the Scottish Government. Jose Manuel Barroso was preposterous this | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
morning. He's compared the situation in Scotland to that of Kosovo. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Scotland has been an EU member for 40 years. But the comments from Jose | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Manuel Barroso were music to the ears of those opposed to Scottish | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
independence. Of course it is an advantage to the EU to have members | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
within it, but what Jose Manuel Barroso was saying was that the | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
discussions that will take place will be anything but plain sailing. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
They could drag on for years. As the president said, it is up to the | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Scottish people to decide their future, but his comments are, as | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
ever, fuelling the debate, as Scots pour over what he said. -- pore | :02:08. | :02:17. | |
over. A 78-year-old cyclist has died after being involved in a collision | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
with a car on the outskirts of Edinburgh. It happened on the road | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
from Kirkliston to South Queensferry just before ten o'clock this | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
morning. At the Winter Olympics, David Murdoch's team lost their | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
penultimate match in the round robin stage of the curling, to Norway. The | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
defeat leaves team GB on five wins and three defeats, and facing a | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
crucial match against China tomorrow. The Scottish athletes | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
competing at the Sochi Olympics have had to contend with subtropical | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
temperatures. The weather there is unprecedented, and a number of | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
competitions have had to be brought forward to avoid the afternoon heat. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Jackie O'Brien reports. Sochi is scorching with temperatures over 14 | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Celsius in the mountains making it the warmest winter games on record. | :02:52. | :03:01. | |
Athletes did not bargain for the balmy temperatures reaching the | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
competition slopes. So what. It clouded over a bit summit was not as | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
sunny as it was earlier, but not used to skiing when it is 15 | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
degrees. And the snow is so wet and sticky. Organisers have thousands of | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
tonnes of snow stop wild if a major flaw threats in, but the man who | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
came up with this most touring concept is confident that it will | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
not be required. Snow cannot melt in a second. Even in subtropical | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
temperatures, we are still mountains, and mountains at this | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
level, you have freezing temperatures, so don't worry about | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
the thaw. The temperatures are not going to pose a threat to the future | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
of Scotland's scheme industry, but the man in charge of snow storage | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
believes that his concept could work in our mountains. Well, what's the | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
weather going to be like here for the start of the week? Gillian has | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
the forecast. Good evening. It was blue skies for many, but the cloud | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
is creeping in, bringing outbreaks of rain, tracking novels. We have a | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
wintry mix with snow above 200 metres. Frosty conditions ahead of | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
that, with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Tomorrow, a | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
cloudy, damp prospect, as low pressure once again takes charge, | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
and that rain heads northwards. It is no longer mainly confined to the | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
hills, but we will see some at lower levels in Inverness and across the | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Highlands. A cold day, quite misty towards the East Coast, with | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
temperatures around five or six Celsius at best. And that's all from | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
Reporting Scotland tonight. There are updates from 6.25am tomorrow | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
morning. From all Good evening. In the midst of any | :05:01. | :05:11. | |
normal winter weather for the week ahead would be fairly unremarkable. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Some rain in places, some strong winds at times, but of course we are | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
in the midst of no normal | :05:19. | :05:20. |
