usual time of 6:40 this evening. Stay with us

Good afternoon. The Chancellor and Treasury Secretary have dismissed a

:00:10.:00:14.

newspaper report suggesting the UK Government would share the pound

:00:15.:00:18.

with an independent Scotland. The Scottish government has welcomed the

:00:19.:00:21.

report in The Guardian, which quotes an unnamed minister saying a deal

:00:22.:00:34.

would be reached. The Chancellor formally ruled out a currency union

:00:35.:00:40.

with Scotland in the event of a yes vote in the referendum. Today, The

:00:41.:00:53.

Guardian courts and a minister seeing "of course there would be a

:00:54.:01:02.

currency union. The United Kingdom wants to keep nuclear weapons are

:01:03.:01:09.

Faslane and the Scottish government does not. You could see the outline

:01:10.:01:16.

of a deal. The Scottish cup meant welcomes the news. This report shows

:01:17.:01:24.

that the no campaign is laughing when it comes to the currency union.

:01:25.:01:38.

It is all a campaign tactic. But at the Liberal Democrat conference, the

:01:39.:01:40.

chief Secretary to the Treasury ruled out a currency deal. It is not

:01:41.:01:45.

going to happen. You have to ignore this report. The reality is

:01:46.:01:54.

different if we vote for independence. This is a key element

:01:55.:01:59.

of the campaign to keep Scotland within the United Kingdom. Those who

:02:00.:02:05.

have worked hard to hold the message are few days that it may have been

:02:06.:02:08.

undermined from within. A memorial service was held earlier

:02:09.:02:12.

for those who died or were injured when a helicopter crashed into the

:02:13.:02:15.

Clutha pub in Glasgow city Centre last November. Three people on board

:02:16.:02:19.

the aircraft and seven of the pub's customers were killed. The service

:02:20.:02:27.

has helped here at the Cathedral of Saint Andrews, just a few yards from

:02:28.:02:37.

the bar. Friends and family gathered today for months on and were joined

:02:38.:02:42.

by members of the emergency services. Ten candles were lit as

:02:43.:02:49.

part of this multi-faith service led by the Archbishop of Glasgow. Those

:02:50.:02:54.

affected by the tragedy still did not know why it happened. We know

:02:55.:02:58.

the engines of the helicopter were starved of fuel, but not why. The

:02:59.:03:03.

result of that enquiry is still to come.

:03:04.:03:06.

Time now for a look at the weather with Chris.

:03:07.:03:12.

Cloudy this afternoon across much of the country. The best of the

:03:13.:03:20.

sunshine in the north-west and the Murray first. Feeling quite chilly,

:03:21.:03:32.

seven or eight Celsius. Actually, this afternoon, once the cloud

:03:33.:03:36.

clears and the sun comes out, we could see the temperatures rising to

:03:37.:03:44.

13 Celsius. Today, largely dry and cloudy. Some low cloud tomorrow and

:03:45.:03:49.

mist and fog, but the father rest tomorrow, the drier and brighter.

:03:50.:03:54.

Just remember tonight, the clock is go forward one hour.

:03:55.:03:59.

Thanks, Chris. And that is Reporting Scotland. Our next update is at 6.50

:04:00.:04:01.

this evening. Until then, from Good afternoon. The clocks go

:04:02.:04:13.

forward by one hour tonight, British Summer Time begins. Hard to believe

:04:14.:04:17.

that this was the scene exactly one year ago in North Wales when we were

:04:18.:04:21.

in the grip of one of the coldest springs for many a decade. A

:04:22.:04:26.

different story this weekend, of course, with warm air

:04:27.:04:27.
