:04:04. > :04:07.effectively Scotland is being offered two futures coming future
:04:08. > :04:12.within the UK and separate from it. I don't have even in this. You are
:04:13. > :04:17.here to talk to the Scottish people about it. Why don't you debate with
:04:18. > :04:23.the man who everyone knows is your main opponent? The main opponent to
:04:24. > :04:28.the Yes campaign is to the No campaign led by Alistair Darling. I
:04:29. > :04:33.can understand why humans to talk about the process issue rather than
:04:34. > :04:37.the issue of jobs and had everyone will be better off and stronger.
:04:38. > :04:45.Alex Salmond wants to talk about this because he does not want to
:04:46. > :05:11.tackle the real issues. He was to be between both of us. He said you are
:05:12. > :05:14.scared. Not at all. I think Alistair is doing an
:05:15. > :05:17.excellent job. They are making a positive case for Scotland to remain
:05:18. > :05:22.in the United Kingdom. But also, they are quite rightly warning of
:05:23. > :05:25.the risks of separation and I do not think we would be doing our job as
:05:26. > :05:30.politicians if we did not warn of those risks.
:05:31. > :05:33.I am sorry to press you on this and I do not want to make it personal,
:05:34. > :05:38.that it is a personal issue in terms of Alistair Darling?s leadership and
:05:39. > :05:42.whether he is actually doing a good enough job for the Better Together
:05:43. > :05:49.Campaign. Many of your MPs feel that...
:05:50. > :05:53.That is not what I hear from my MPs. Alistair Darling is absolutely the
:05:54. > :06:00.right person to lead the campaign. And what I have said is that they've
:06:01. > :06:07.is a real need to get behind this very clear and positive campaign. We
:06:08. > :06:12.want to talk about the issues of whether the United Kingdom is safer
:06:13. > :06:17.and better and more secure with all of the countries remaining in it.
:06:18. > :06:21.And clearly it says. We have heard from many companies and industry
:06:22. > :06:26.addressing the issues of whether Scotland will be better off inside
:06:27. > :06:30.the United Kingdom. Those are the things we need to highlight.
:06:31. > :06:36.Was it a smart move of your Chancellor to threaten us with our
:06:37. > :06:41.banknotes being taken away? That can come across as bullying and tends to
:06:42. > :06:47.push Scots the other way. I do not agree with that. There is a
:06:48. > :06:51.great advantage of being in the United Kingdom and that is that we
:06:52. > :07:02.share a currency. This currency is a success and with... You have heard
:07:03. > :07:13.from many eminent people that the way to retain the single currency is
:07:14. > :07:18.to remain in the United Kingdom. If you leave the UK, they leave the
:07:19. > :07:24.pound sterling. That is a clear position and we would not be doing a
:07:25. > :07:29.job properly if we did not explain both the advantages of remaining in
:07:30. > :07:33.the UK and working together but also the risks and dangers of separation.
:07:34. > :07:37.From everything I hear, people in Scotland want information and facts
:07:38. > :07:41.and evidence and then they will make their decision.
:07:42. > :07:45.They will also want to know what would happen after a potential No
:07:46. > :07:48.vote. If the people Scotland reject independence, how would you make
:07:49. > :07:52.devolution work better? Able be producing the Strathclyde
:07:53. > :07:57.commission report. That is the Conservative Party?s ideals for
:07:58. > :08:03.devolution and other parties will put in the ideas for devolution.
:08:04. > :08:09.So, in the event of a No vote, that is not the end of the devolution
:08:10. > :08:17.road. The way to end the devolution would would be separation. I want to
:08:18. > :08:24.work with the other parties. There's a strong case for further
:08:25. > :08:28.powers to be devolved but we have to wait for the Strathclyde commission
:08:29. > :08:33.which will advise about the correct steps to take. I think the people
:08:34. > :08:38.Scotland can get the best of both worlds by remaining within the
:08:39. > :08:43.United Kingdom, stronger, safer, more prosperous, a better world. And
:08:44. > :08:46.also the extra advantage of more self-government here in Scotland,
:08:47. > :08:51.making decisions about their future. It is the best of both worlds.
:08:52. > :08:55.And you commit to more powers for Holyrood in your next Queen 's
:08:56. > :09:02.speech? I cannot guarantee anything in the
:09:03. > :09:05.Queen's speech because whoever wins will want to talk to other parties
:09:06. > :09:11.and build cross-party consensus for further devolution but I say to
:09:12. > :09:16.people Scotland that as I said before we will go ahead with further
:09:17. > :09:19.devolution. I have delivered on devolution in Scotland and Northern
:09:20. > :09:22.Ireland and Wales. I really do believe in the United Kingdom where
:09:23. > :09:26.we should have proper respect for the constituent nations of that
:09:27. > :09:31.family of nations as one of the important ways that we remain
:09:32. > :09:35.together in this modern world. You're talking about getting
:09:36. > :09:38.together with other parties after the vote, would not be better to
:09:39. > :09:47.have a union Alliance before the vote? You have not agreed what you
:09:48. > :09:54.want to do. That is a fair point. You will have
:09:55. > :09:58.ideas from the Conservatives and other parties in the next few weeks
:09:59. > :10:01.and I think that people in Scotland will see that those who feel
:10:02. > :10:07.passionate about keeping our family of nations together are also
:10:08. > :10:13.passionate about further devolution. So people will get the
:10:14. > :10:16.best of both worlds. The best deal for Scotland while remaining part of
:10:17. > :10:20.this family of nations that has achieved great things in the past
:10:21. > :10:24.and can do so in the future. One last point, I come here as the prime
:10:25. > :10:28.Minister of the United Kingdom and passionate our country. But also
:10:29. > :10:32.with a clear message from the other countries of the United Kingdom,
:10:33. > :10:40.from England and Northern Ireland and Wales:
:10:41. > :10:43.disinterested in this. We want you to stay. That is the clear message I
:10:44. > :10:51.get up and down the country. You are here to woo us?
:10:52. > :10:54.The rest of the country absolutely cares about this referendum and we
:10:55. > :10:57.want you to stay. That is the clear message.
:10:58. > :11:01.Who do you fancy for the Scottish cup this weekend?
:11:02. > :11:06.I am told that your political correspondent is Dundee United van!
:11:07. > :11:10.I do not know that the pygmy in history books or not. That is
:11:11. > :11:14.another contest that Aston Villa will not be involved in! So I will
:11:15. > :11:21.stay out. Thank you for joining us.
:11:22. > :11:22.Thank you. Tomorrow we will hear from Alex
:11:23. > :11:28.Salmond. Now look at other news. A priest at the centre of child

:11:41. > :11:45.Mullen abused him from age nine. I am still in shock. I did not think
:11:46. > :11:54.this would happen. I did not think I I am still in shock. I did not think
:11:55. > :11:59.would get people believing me. This man is now in his early 30s. He
:12:00. > :12:05.says he was sexually abused by Thomas Mullen when he was just nine
:12:06. > :12:08.years old until he was 15. It was a slow process, he worked his
:12:09. > :12:13.way in and make me feel so It was a slow process, he worked his
:12:14. > :12:18.but on the other end of it he was worming his way into my mother and
:12:19. > :12:22.father?s Hearts. He's been trying to get the Catholic
:12:23. > :12:28.Church to acknowledge what happened to him but in the process, his life
:12:29. > :12:33.apart. He almost took his own life. People say you should be happy that
:12:34. > :12:38.this has happened and I have managed to make a change in the chart?s
:12:39. > :12:45.aptitude. But how high? It was not me. I am pleased about any change
:12:46. > :12:49.and it is nice to see proactive action happening, but I cannot be
:12:50. > :12:57.happy about this. Thomas Mullen is now in his 70s. The
:12:58. > :13:02.case has been taken to the Vatican and he was found guilty of a number

:13:15. > :13:19.longer function as a priest, present himself as such, or celebrate the
:13:20. > :13:24.prominence. He says that he knows this was a harsh blow for many of

:24:14. > :24:18.Aberdeen for the event, organised by the winning Scotland foundation. It
:24:19. > :24:26.is really exciting because we got to meet Chris Hoy. Bwe are excited
:24:27. > :24:30.about how athletics work and how they became world champion. With the
:24:31. > :24:33.Commonwealth Games on the horizon, two top athletes with seven gold
:24:34. > :24:38.medals between them share their thoughts on what the games could
:24:39. > :24:41.mean for Glasgow. I think it will be a showcase for all the young

:24:46. > :24:49.athletics and swimming and cycling but the other sports that don't get
