:00:08. > :00:10.Just 36 hours after the referendum result, politicians are already in
:00:11. > :00:16.The former Prime Minister Gordon Brown says the Westminster pledge
:00:17. > :00:18.to voters of further devolution will be honoured.
:00:19. > :00:27.But the SNP say that promise has already been broken.

:00:44. > :00:48.After defeat on Friday and the First Minister's departure, we examine how
:00:49. > :00:50.Scotland's party of government can get back to business as usual.
:00:51. > :00:52.And ugly scenes on the streets of Glasgow.
:00:53. > :00:56.We're live in the city with the story of how
:00:57. > :01:17.In the aftermath of the referendum verdict and
:01:18. > :01:19.the First Minister's resignation, we've got a specially extended
:01:20. > :01:26.Tonight, the SNP say promises of more
:01:27. > :01:29.devolution made by the Westminster parties ahead of Thursday's vote,
:01:30. > :01:36.But in a speech in Fife, the former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown
:01:37. > :01:39.said the tri-party pledge made during the campaign would be upheld.

:01:56. > :02:02.home to one of the key protagonists is now addressing question, what
:02:03. > :02:06.next? Gordon Brown's speech had a unifying theme, praise for Alex
:02:07. > :02:11.Salmond, a formidable opponent, he said, he has ordered debt of
:02:12. > :02:19.gratitude. He saluted both campaigns for their tenacity but argued Scots
:02:20. > :02:23.should now focus on United values and aspirations, setting aside the
:02:24. > :02:36.leaflets and stickers. Let us think of ourselves not as Yes Scots or No
:02:37. > :02:44.Scots, but simply as Scots, and United let us be a nation again.
:02:45. > :02:49.This timetable for more powers for the Scottish parliament emerged when
:02:50. > :02:53.there is no campaign or having your biggest wobble. It was backed by the
:02:54. > :02:58.three main UK parties but very much fronted by Gordon Brown, whose
:02:59. > :03:04.reputation hangs on its delivery. Civil servants, he said, are already
:03:05. > :03:09.at work. A debate is fixed on the calendar and he reiterated,
:03:10. > :03:12.proposals on powers by the end of that month, consultation and
:03:13. > :03:18.agreement by St Andrews Day, with draft legislation by the end of
:03:19. > :03:21.January this year. That is set in concrete, nobody can go back on
:03:22. > :03:26.that. That is something that all party leaders have agreed to. In my
:03:27. > :03:33.view, with the elections coming up soon, if leaders do not deliver this
:03:34. > :03:42.then they will have to face the Scottish electorate. The SNP see
:03:43. > :03:47.their already the first deadline -- say that already depressed deadline
:03:48. > :03:53.has been missed. They were meant to deliver it yesterday, it has not
:03:54. > :04:01.come. It is not devo max, what is on the table is a pale shadow of
:04:02. > :04:08.maximum devolution. Yes supporters today echoed those concerns. They
:04:09. > :04:12.have already missed the first promise on the timetable. The
:04:13. > :04:15.shortest marriage vows in history. Rail they are no fudging the issue
:04:16. > :04:24.by trying to make it about everyone else. Gordon Brown says that to be
:04:25. > :04:32.debate wider constitutional reform will not affect his timetable.
:04:33. > :04:36.Our Westminster correspondent is outside the Houses of Parliament.
:04:37. > :04:40.The focus seems to have shifted rather abrupt way to Westminster.
:04:41. > :04:51.What developments were there there today? The fallout and the wrangling
:04:52. > :04:56.continues. People are realising that it is quite easy to say yes, we will
:04:57. > :05:00.have constitutional reform, it might be a lot harder to actually deliver
:05:01. > :05:04.that. There are signs of tensions within the meaning Westminster
:05:05. > :05:11.parties about how they achieved that. David Cameron said that he
:05:12. > :05:15.wanted more devolution for Scotland but he also wanted to link that to
:05:16. > :05:21.policies affecting England. In effect, what he wanted to do was try
:05:22. > :05:26.to resolve the West Lothian question, whereby Scottish MPs can
:05:27. > :05:32.vote on health and education issues in England that does not affect
:05:33. > :05:36.them. It causes a lot of annoyance amongst English MPs. What David
:05:37. > :05:41.Cameron did was throw the equivalent of a political hand grenade at Ed
:05:42. > :05:44.Miliband. Ed Miliband says that he wants constitutional reform but
:05:45. > :05:47.extra power is going to Scotland need not be linked to looking at the
:05:48. > :05:54.whole devolution question in England. Why does he say that? Ed
:05:55. > :05:57.Miliband has 41 Labour MPs in Scotland. If he becomes Prime
:05:58. > :06:02.Minister next year he does not want a situation whereby those MPs cannot
:06:03. > :06:08.vote on all of the matter is that the haze -- the haze deals with. He
:06:09. > :06:14.may not be able to get them through because he would not have a
:06:15. > :06:19.majority. The timetable is incredibly tight. It is incredibly
:06:20. > :06:23.tight. Normally constitutional reform takes a long time, not just
:06:24. > :06:28.because you want to think about it very carefully, the MPs will want to
:06:29. > :06:35.think about it carefully, but also the House of Lords. If they exist
:06:36. > :06:38.for one thing it is discussing and looking at legislation and picking
:06:39. > :06:42.holes in it. They like to look long and hard at constitutional reform.
:06:43. > :06:46.There are many people in the House of Lords that would want to deal
:06:47. > :06:51.with this on a long-term basis. They will not want to be rushed. We may
:06:52. > :06:55.have a situation whereby we get a draft law put into place, but it
:06:56. > :06:59.will be for the government elected after the general election in May,
:07:00. > :07:04.2015, here at Westminster, which would then have to enact those
:07:05. > :07:09.powers. It is not going to be easy and it is not going to be speedy.
:07:10. > :07:12.So, what next for the party of government in Scotland, the SNP?
:07:13. > :07:14.After losing the referendum and their leader Alex Salmond
:07:15. > :07:17.in the same day, how does the party dust itself down and continue with
:07:18. > :07:21.Our Referendum Correspondent Laura Bicker is at the Scottish Parliament
:07:22. > :07:38.Laura, any suggestion from the SNP of a leadership race?
:07:39. > :07:44.At the moment everybody is getting some sleep after a long referendum
:07:45. > :07:49.campaign. But independence has been a common goal for the last however
:07:50. > :07:53.many years it has been here at the parliament. But what I can tell you
:07:54. > :08:00.is that they may have lost the referendum, but within the last 36
:08:01. > :08:05.hours they gained 5000 new members, swelling numbers to over 30,000, a
:08:06. > :08:09.sign of the legacy of the involvement within this referendum.
:08:10. > :08:15.I have been looking at what might be next for the SNP.
:08:16. > :08:20.A lifelong dream lost. The party at its heart placed so much emphasis on
:08:21. > :08:27.hope. So what next? Without independence at its core, what
:08:28. > :08:31.becomes of the SNP? I think that the role is now more important than
:08:32. > :08:33.ever. It might seem like a long time ago now, but just this week the
:08:34. > :08:38.three leaders from the mean parties were telling us that Scotland would
:08:39. > :08:42.get lots more powers, more devolution, that was their pledge as
:08:43. > :08:47.Beadle does. The SNP has a big job on their hands keeping them to that
:08:48. > :08:52.pledge and that phone. There is however the question of a new
:08:53. > :09:00.leader. Some believe that could be a simple and unchallenged process. I
:09:01. > :09:05.think that they will realise the need to avoid an internal
:09:06. > :09:10.conversation. A bit of leadership navel-gazing. That lends itself to a
:09:11. > :09:14.coronation rather than an open leadership contest. Given that
:09:15. > :09:20.although the party has a very wide range of views, they will realise
:09:21. > :09:24.that actually they can coalesce around Nicola Sturgeon and she would
:09:25. > :09:30.be the best option. The yes movement gathered such momentum at times it
:09:31. > :09:35.felt like an army of foot soldiers were clamouring for independence.
:09:36. > :09:43.Many supported other parties. Polls suggest that just over 30% of Labour
:09:44. > :09:47.voters opted to say yes. That pits the SNP and a strong position as it
:09:48. > :09:52.looks to the general election next year and the Holyrood elections in
:09:53. > :09:57.2016. It is the Labour Party that has all the problems. The SNP have
:09:58. > :10:02.had this massive disappointment, which is emotional as much as
:10:03. > :10:06.anything, but as a party they can look forward to being the party of
:10:07. > :10:11.government for another generation. The Jews will dry and the SNP will
:10:12. > :10:20.move on and it seems that even in defeat they may be seeking out new
:10:21. > :10:24.victories -- the tears will dry. It seems clear that there really is
:10:25. > :10:27.only one serious contender to replace Alex Salmond. The rara
:10:28. > :10:34.number of experienced politicians among the SNP frontbenchers. However
:10:35. > :10:39.it does seem that the odds-on favourite is Nicola Sturgeon. My
:10:40. > :10:44.colleague has been looking at the apparent. I want you to give the
:10:45. > :10:53.warmest of welcomes to the First Minister up of our country, Alex
:10:54. > :10:56.Salmond. Nicola Sturgeon introducing her mentors. For the last ten years
:10:57. > :11:02.as leader and deputy they have been an impressive double act. She says
:11:03. > :11:05.that he has helped and guided her through a political career which
:11:06. > :11:11.started well lost you didn't act Glasgow University and soon saw her
:11:12. > :11:15.marked out as one to watch. I am convinced that if the SNP were in
:11:16. > :11:20.power in an independent Scotland it would be a thriving Scottish steel
:11:21. > :11:23.industry. By the end of that decade she was a member of the Scottish
:11:24. > :11:30.Parliament and campaigning hard to stay there. I confirm that Nicola
:11:31. > :11:38.Sturgeon has been duly elected as a member of the Govan constituency.
:11:39. > :11:45.Tonight, perseverance, hard work never say die spirit has paid off.
:11:46. > :11:49.She became Deputy First Minister and Health Secretary. She is ready for
:11:50. > :11:55.the top job say everyone who know her well. She's a ready-made
:11:56. > :12:01.successor, she has been outstanding as Deputy First Minister. She has
:12:02. > :12:05.got, in my observation, better and better and better, year in, year
:12:06. > :12:11.out. She has never stopped improving and I think she is absolutely ready,
:12:12. > :12:17.should she choose to do so. Married in 2010, by her own admission she is
:12:18. > :12:22.no domestic goddess. She is the next potential First Minister, that would
:12:23. > :12:27.send a very good message to women here who have worked with her. She
:12:28. > :12:33.is an impressive woman in that she has a really strong analytical,
:12:34. > :12:36.forensics mind and a real attention to detail. I think that is very
:12:37. > :12:42.important in the lead role. But she is also someone who cares very much
:12:43. > :12:46.about the people that she represents and the job that she doesn't want to
:12:47. > :12:50.do a good job. She is the kind of role model that you would want to
:12:51. > :12:57.have. -- and she wants to do a good job. In her south side constituency
:12:58. > :13:05.today, summon courage and for the future. Quite pleased to be honest.
:13:06. > :13:11.I think she has done great in this constituency and she is a natural
:13:12. > :13:16.successor to Alex Salmond. I think she would be great. I hope that she
:13:17. > :13:20.wouldn't she would make a good job of it. It is expected that Alex
:13:21. > :13:24.Salmond's successor would be determined by a leadership election.
:13:25. > :13:28.But at this stage anyway who would bet against it being Nicola
:13:29. > :13:36.Sturgeon, he may move into Bute house by the end of the year. -- who
:13:37. > :13:39.may. The world's media has been camped
:13:40. > :13:46.outside Holyrood for the past week. They are now packing up, but for
:13:47. > :13:52.Scotland the story continues. How will those powers be delivered? A
:13:53. > :13:56.number of yes supporters remain outside the parliament singing very
:13:57. > :13:59.peacefully, as they have done for the last few days. As Alex Salmond
:14:00. > :14:12.fitted yesterday, for some the dream will never die -- put it yesterday.
:14:13. > :14:24.The former SNP member for our gale Ian McCormack has died. -- Argyll.
:14:25. > :14:28.He would have been 75 next week. Police say they expect to make
:14:29. > :14:31.further arrest is following disturbances overnight in the city
:14:32. > :14:39.of Glasgow. 11 people were arrested after clashes in the city's George
:14:40. > :14:47.Square. Our reporter is there for us this evening. What more can you tell
:14:48. > :14:52.us about what happened? You can see that there is a very heavy police
:14:53. > :14:57.presence here. There are police vans around the square and you can see
:14:58. > :15:01.officers in high visibility vest. But the atmosphere today has been
:15:02. > :15:08.very different from the one last night. Today the only gathering that
:15:09. > :15:11.I have seen is the one behind me, our protest for peace. Underneath
:15:12. > :15:24.those flags over there, people who have been attending that meeting
:15:25. > :15:32.have set up an impromptu food bank. Yesterday independence campaigners
:15:33. > :15:35.were having a party celebrating Glasgow voting yes to independence.
:15:36. > :15:40.But then some people with union Jack flags came along and there was
:15:41. > :15:44.trouble. Glasgow was one of the four local
:15:45. > :15:50.authorities in Scotland to vote yes. Some campaigners dubbed it
:15:51. > :16:00.independence square. But the scenes turned ugly. People waving union
:16:01. > :16:11.flags charged into the square and a flea was fired. -- flare was fired.
:16:12. > :16:15.This SNP councillor addressed the peace gathering today. People will
:16:16. > :16:24.get this now matter how they voted and say that that was a disgrace. He
:16:25. > :16:29.was subjected to abuse yesterday and filmed it on his phone. We have to
:16:30. > :16:33.make sure that everyone unites and tell people that this is
:16:34. > :16:42.unacceptable behaviour. Myself and every councillor in that building,
:16:43. > :16:48.every MSP, MP, they all have to see it is unacceptable. Wanted people in
:16:49. > :16:53.George Square today think of what happened last night? They were just
:16:54. > :16:57.idiots. The one night that the world's media is in town and we make
:16:58. > :17:05.a fool of herself. It's embarrassing. It is a disgrace. It
:17:06. > :17:09.sends out a bad message, if I am being honest. It boots and negative
:17:10. > :17:13.slant on the whole process we have just gone through. Perhaps mixed
:17:14. > :17:18.messages from different sides, I do not know who was to blame. Police
:17:19. > :17:24.say that they have already secured valuable CCTV and other evidence and
:17:25. > :17:33.they are confident that there will be further arrest in the coming
:17:34. > :17:36.days. Police say that if you were involved in criminality last night
:17:37. > :17:40.then you will be identified and you will be arrested. The atmosphere
:17:41. > :17:43.tonight is very good-humoured that there are a lot of police around.
:17:44. > :17:45.A movement of grassroots activism and community
:17:46. > :17:47.engagement, often among people who had never been involved with
:17:48. > :17:49.politics before, grew up around the campaign for independence.
:17:50. > :17:52.But what happens now to all that newly invigorated activism?
:17:53. > :18:03.Here's our political correspondent, Lucy Adams.
:18:04. > :18:12.There was so much hope and so much activity on the ground. For many it
:18:13. > :18:16.was the grassroots activists who elevated the campaign beyond the
:18:17. > :18:19.question on the ballot paper. The yes movement in the referendum has
:18:20. > :18:23.been one of the most inspiring things that I have witnessed in my
:18:24. > :18:27.life, and you see all of these various different autonomous groups
:18:28. > :18:29.that sprung up, sometimes very locally, sometimes to do with the
:18:30. > :18:37.culture or their trade or whatever, and they were across all of Scottish
:18:38. > :18:42.public life and it was a remarkable upsurge of political engagement and
:18:43. > :18:47.conversations. Grass roots campaigners have created yes grips
:18:48. > :18:52.for almost every profession, political persuasion and party. They
:18:53. > :18:58.have real weak and democratic engagement. But where does all of
:18:59. > :19:01.that energy go now? It was people in working-class communities. It was us
:19:02. > :19:06.that came out and went to vote and voted for change. That is what all
:19:07. > :19:08.of the breakdowns are showing. It would working-class people that
:19:09. > :19:14.voted for change and you cannot put that back in the bottle. You cannot
:19:15. > :19:20.allow that to dissipate. There is still a momentum there. We are going
:19:21. > :19:24.to keep going for it. As the results came in on Friday morning some of
:19:25. > :19:27.that energy fizzled out. But the record turnout levels were
:19:28. > :19:33.attributed to the ground campaign and many of the groups say that the
:19:34. > :19:36.ins and activism will remain. Some of them may change their names, they
:19:37. > :19:40.will stay together, most of them well. There will be some so
:19:41. > :19:44.disillusioned that they will not, but I hope that they do stay
:19:45. > :19:51.together and the ideas that they continue to advocate for, it is
:19:52. > :20:00.radical change that people want and holding the political class
:20:01. > :20:06.accountable. But now the vote is cast. The morning after is past. It
:20:07. > :20:07.is over to the guardians of this new activism as to whether it will
:20:08. > :20:09.continue. As we know, it's Lord Smith
:20:10. > :20:12.of Kelvin who will chair the new devolution commission aimed
:20:13. > :20:15.at delivering more powers to the He has until the start of next year
:20:16. > :20:21.to get consensus from all Apart from being the man who headed
:20:22. > :20:39.up this summer's Commonwealth Games, Having breathed a huge sigh of
:20:40. > :20:43.relief, David Cameron emerged yesterday to reiterate a promise of
:20:44. > :20:48.more powers for Scotland. I will announce today that Lord Smith of
:20:49. > :20:52.Kelvin, who so successfully led Glasgow's Commonwealth Games, has
:20:53. > :21:02.agreed to take over the process to honour these commitments.
:21:03. > :21:08.This, as you have probably heard, is a special claim to be in Glasgow. He
:21:09. > :21:12.was tasked with making it special. Can the man who lit up Scotland for
:21:13. > :21:15.the coming together of the Commonwealth bring together parties
:21:16. > :21:21.of a different kind? When David Cameron spoke to me about this last
:21:22. > :21:25.week I said, are you people sincere across all of the UK political
:21:26. > :21:29.parties about doing something here? He said yes and I am taking that at
:21:30. > :21:35.face value. If I know that I have that backing then I will deliver. A
:21:36. > :21:37.former director of the Bank of Scotland, here's the current
:21:38. > :21:42.chairman of Scottish Southern Energy. An order of the Thistle,
:21:43. > :21:47.here's also Chancellor of the University of Strathclyde. The right
:21:48. > :21:52.man for the job? I am not commenting other than to say that he did a
:21:53. > :21:59.great job on the Commonwealth Games. The timetable is somewhat ambitious.
:22:00. > :22:05.He will oversee the paper which will be cat giving Scotland more powers
:22:06. > :22:13.over tax, spending and welfare. From the defeated, however, warning.
:22:14. > :22:17.Scotland will expect these to be honoured and rapid course. Scotland
:22:18. > :22:30.expects, and with the clock ticking, Holyrood weights. -- awaits.
:22:31. > :22:56.And some football results from today.
:22:57. > :23:02.Ayr Gold Cup today. Jockey James Doyle won on Louie The Pious, at
:23:03. > :23:05.odds of ten to one. Amy Ryan was hoping to become the first female
:23:06. > :23:08.jockey to win Scotland's top flat race on the favourite, Blaine. But
:23:09. > :23:10.she came in third, behind Mon a Lisa.
:23:11. > :23:25.If we take a look at the satellite picture we can see what happened.
:23:26. > :23:33.The rain in the central belt pushed it through further south. Those
:23:34. > :23:37.clear skies will mean that it will be turning rather chilly tonight.
:23:38. > :23:44.The cold front is well away from us. I pressure working its way in. Some
:23:45. > :23:47.sunshine around at the moment, a lovely sunset for many. Those clear
:23:48. > :23:57.skies will mean that it will be quite cold. One or two light showers
:23:58. > :24:00.around. They're in mind -- bear in mind that temperatures have been
:24:01. > :24:05.getting lower than 13 or 14 degrees. Towns and cities will be seven or 8
:24:06. > :24:11.degrees. It could be cold in the rural parts. A cold, crisp, autumnal
:24:12. > :24:17.morning tomorrow. Any mist quickly lifting and the deer head dry and
:24:18. > :24:26.bright one, quite pleasant. -- the day ahead. With very little wind,
