:00:00. > :00:00.It's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's

:00:00. > :00:12.In an unguarded moment, the Prime Minister David Cameron

:00:13. > :00:14.claims the Queen purred down the line, when he told her

:00:15. > :00:17.It comes as Alex Salmond addressed the Scottish Parliament

:00:18. > :00:23.for the first time since the referendum and his resignation.

:00:24. > :00:26.The port operator on the Clyde admits breaching health

:00:27. > :00:30.and safety laws over the deaths of three crewmen seven years ago.

:00:31. > :00:33.The golfing world descends on Perthshire, ahead of the Ryder

:00:34. > :00:47.And ever wondered why some snow manages to survive

:00:48. > :01:08.Join me for an insight into the world of Scotland's snow hunters.

:01:09. > :01:10.The First Minister, Alex Salmond, has described the referendum

:01:11. > :01:12.as "the greatest democratic experience in Scotland's history."

:01:13. > :01:16.However, opposition parties called for him to respect the result.

:01:17. > :01:18.In a moment, we'll have a full report on that,

:01:19. > :01:21.but first to our political editor, Brian Taylor, who's at Holyrood

:01:22. > :01:23.tonight with news of an unguarded comment from the Prime Minister.

:01:24. > :01:39.The Prime Minister was in New York, he was catting with the former mayor

:01:40. > :01:44.Michael Bloomberg, he was caught on camera talking about his delight at

:01:45. > :01:48.the referendum outcome but also sharing with former mayor Bloomberg

:01:49. > :01:52.the moment that he, David Cameron, alerted the Queen to the fact that

:01:53. > :01:55.the vote had gone for the Ewing I don't know. Here is what he had to

:01:56. > :02:17.say. It is not every day in truth you

:02:18. > :02:25.hear a description of the Queen purring. It is unlikely we will be

:02:26. > :02:30.able to say whether the Queen did offer feline felicitation, the

:02:31. > :02:35.Palace is declining to comment. David Cameron said it was close, he

:02:36. > :02:38.says he is considering, think he was joking suing the opinion polling

:02:39. > :02:42.companies for giving him ulcers. Let us turn to the Scottish Parliament,

:02:43. > :02:45.turn to Holyrood Parliament, not Palace. There was a debate here at

:02:46. > :02:49.the Scottish Parliament on the aftermath of the referendum, of

:02:50. > :02:54.course there was talk about the independence offer, there was talk

:02:55. > :02:58.about the causes of the defeat for that independence offer, but the big

:02:59. > :03:05.focus here at Holyrood today, was on gaining more powers for the Scottish

:03:06. > :03:11.Parliament. Alex Salmond had hoped to be coming

:03:12. > :03:16.to Holyrood to announce independence but the presiding officer reminded

:03:17. > :03:21.MSPs that Scotland would change. It cannot and it must not be business

:03:22. > :03:27.as usual. The First Minister opened by extolling the huge turn out in

:03:28. > :03:31.the referendum. This has been the greatest democratic experience in

:03:32. > :03:35.Scotland's history and brought it great credit, nationally and

:03:36. > :03:39.internationally. Now the talk is of more devolved power, in the gallery

:03:40. > :03:44.Lord submit of Kelvin tasked with that challenge. The SNP will join

:03:45. > :03:49.that search and Alex Salmond laid down his aims. The jobs test in

:03:50. > :03:53.particular, genuine job creating powers are important. They should

:03:54. > :03:57.allow us to build a fairer society, we need to address the deep lying

:03:58. > :04:01.causing of unequality in Scottish society. And it should enable

:04:02. > :04:05.Scotland to have a stronger and clearer articulated voice, on the

:04:06. > :04:09.international stage. Johann Lamont offered to work with Scottish

:04:10. > :04:14.ministers on every day issue, arguing that support for the union

:04:15. > :04:21.was now settled I don't speak for the 45%. I don't speak for the 55%.

:04:22. > :04:25.I speak for the 100% of the people in this country, who want politics

:04:26. > :04:28.to be about their lives, their concern, their families, and their

:04:29. > :04:32.future. On social media, there have been

:04:33. > :04:37.complaints of vote-rigging, dismissed by the authority, for the

:04:38. > :04:41.Tory, Ruth Davidson said such talk was futile. We need acknowledgement

:04:42. > :04:48.that the process was not flawed. Not just the mechanics of the process,

:04:49. > :04:52.but the process itself. Friday was clear, legal and decisive. I am sure

:04:53. > :04:59.no-one in this chamber will dispute that. Two million people decided we

:05:00. > :05:05.were Better Together. Patrick Harvie said the people must be consulted

:05:06. > :05:09.over any new powers If this is a deal done inside the political

:05:10. > :05:13.bubble it will fail to give effect to that groundswell appetite and

:05:14. > :05:18.enthusiasm. For genuine democratic reform.

:05:19. > :05:26.A challenge for our MSPs. All our MSPs.

:05:27. > :05:30.One more thing tonight, John Wilson has resigned from the SNP whip. He

:05:31. > :05:34.was very unhappy about the party's policy switch when they endorsed

:05:35. > :05:39.NATO membership in the vent of independence. He was pre-Prince of

:05:40. > :05:45.Waled upon to stay. He has now gone. It cuts the SNP's majority behind me

:05:46. > :05:51.to just one. -- prevailed. Despite that the SNP are wishing him well in

:05:52. > :05:59.his future and are taking wit a degree of sang froid. They are

:06:00. > :06:02.saying that is one MSP, 20,000 new members in the past few days.

:06:03. > :06:06.how to channel the political energy the referendum campaign unleashed.

:06:07. > :06:12.Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

:06:13. > :06:20.Nay queued to vote. The turn out was record-breaking and many of those

:06:21. > :06:24.drawn into politics by the referendum want to stay involved.

:06:25. > :06:30.The political parties behind the Yes campaign have reported a membership

:06:31. > :06:34.surge, last Thursday, the Scottish greens had 1800 member, by lunchtime

:06:35. > :06:40.today that trebled to 54 hundred. The SNP fought the referendum with

:06:41. > :06:45.more nan 25,000 members. By three this afternoon that had more than

:06:46. > :06:50.doubled to 51 50 making the nationalists the third largest

:06:51. > :06:55.political party in the UK. The aspirations that were embodied in

:06:56. > :07:00.the Yes campaign are still there. They are not been extinguished by a

:07:01. > :07:06.No vote. So they are looking for an avenue, a home. At Holyrood the

:07:07. > :07:10.First Minister's aspiration for 16 and 17-year-olds to be allowed to

:07:11. > :07:14.vote in future election, having given them a say on independence.

:07:15. > :07:21.There is not a shred of evidence for arguing now that 16 and 17-year-olds

:07:22. > :07:24.should not be allowed to vote. The Labour leader Ed Miliband supports

:07:25. > :07:28.lowering the voting age but young people in Edinburgh have mixed

:07:29. > :07:32.feelings I just voted in the referendum, so I don't think, don't

:07:33. > :07:38.see a problem in like, why we shouldn't be allowed to vote. I

:07:39. > :07:42.don't think they should. Why? There is a lot of people who don't have

:07:43. > :07:44.enough knowledge. The current Westminster Government doesn't

:07:45. > :07:47.support votes for 16-year-olds, what the UK Government, the Scottish

:07:48. > :07:53.Government, all the political parties agree on is that the No vote

:07:54. > :07:57.was not a vote for no change. There now needs to be further devolution

:07:58. > :08:01.of power from Westminster, to Holyrood.

:08:02. > :08:04.The man trying to get all sides to agree a specific package of extra

:08:05. > :08:09.devolution met Scottish party leaders today. My message to the

:08:10. > :08:14.political parties today, is that Scotland is expecting us to arrive

:08:15. > :08:18.at consensus, so we would ask them to enter into this in the spirit of

:08:19. > :08:24.good will. Persuading those who voted yes and those who voted no to

:08:25. > :08:29.agree on the way forward for Scotland, is no mean feat.

:08:30. > :08:31.The Labour leader has accused the Prime Minister of learning

:08:32. > :08:34.the wrong lessons from the outcome of the Scottish referendum.

:08:35. > :08:36.In his speech to the party's conference, Ed Miliband

:08:37. > :08:39.said David Cameron was seeking to divide, not unite the UK.

:08:40. > :08:45.Our Westminster correspondent David Porter reports from Manchester.

:08:46. > :08:52.Five days on from that referendum result, and still the politicians

:08:53. > :08:56.are coming to terms with how things have changed forever. For the Labour

:08:57. > :09:01.leader a mixture of relief and satisfaction. Our country nearly

:09:02. > :09:08.broke up. A country that nearly splits apart is not a country in

:09:09. > :09:12.good health. I want to start by thanking all of Labour's Team

:09:13. > :09:17.Scotland, for the part they played in keeping our country together.

:09:18. > :09:22.APPLAUSE Using the theme together for his

:09:23. > :09:26.speech, he recalled a woman he met in the referendum campaign, her

:09:27. > :09:31.concerns should provide a less for all politicians. -- lesson Her maim

:09:32. > :09:34.was Josephine, she worked as a cleaner in the building. She didn't

:09:35. > :09:41.want to leave, but she thought it might be the best thing to do. That

:09:42. > :09:47.wasn't just the referendum question. That is the General Election

:09:48. > :09:52.question. A promise of extra money for the NHS

:09:53. > :09:56.but it is plain the referendum, political truce is now over. If

:09:57. > :10:02.David Cameron cares so much about the union, why is he seeking to

:10:03. > :10:07.divide us? He is learning the wrong lessons from Scotland. And from

:10:08. > :10:11.delegates a warm welcome for those promised extra powers. We have got

:10:12. > :10:16.to deliver what has been promised to Scotland. He recognised the

:10:17. > :10:20.importance of England and the other nations within the union. We have to

:10:21. > :10:24.put the referendum behind us and fight to get Labour into the

:10:25. > :10:31.Government. Scotland is the first promise to keep and the rest have to

:10:32. > :10:32.follow. Ed Miliband knows he will be held accountable for those

:10:33. > :10:36.devolution promises. You're watching Reporting Scotland

:10:37. > :10:38.from the BBC. Still to come

:10:56. > :11:01.she's getting ready for Rio. The port authority Clydeport has

:11:02. > :11:04.admitted breaching health and safety laws, following the deaths

:11:05. > :11:06.of three crewmen when their tug sank Lawyers acting for

:11:07. > :11:10.the men's union have again called for a Fatal Accident Inquiry into

:11:11. > :11:13.the sinking of the Flying Phantom. Our Home Affairs Correspondent,

:11:14. > :11:29.Reevel Alderson reports. The aftermath of a tragedy. In dense

:11:30. > :11:32.fog, the Clyde tug Flying Phantom capsized while towing a larger

:11:33. > :11:41.vessel. The rescue effort went on through the night but three of the

:11:42. > :11:47.crew drowned. Skipper Steven Humphreys, engineer Bob Cameron, and

:11:48. > :11:53.Eric blackly all died. A fourth crew member swam to safety. A black was

:11:54. > :11:59.erected on the river bank near where the tug foundered. It struck the

:12:00. > :12:04.concrete slipway, before it could release its cable, the vessel it was

:12:05. > :12:09.towing, it had overtaken it. Pulling it over. Collide port admitted

:12:10. > :12:13.breaching health and safety laws. Among the charges were failing to

:12:14. > :12:17.have an adequate contingency plan for bringing a large vessel up this

:12:18. > :12:22.relatively narrow stretch of river in thick fog. Initially collide port

:12:23. > :12:26.denied all of the charges that it faced today there is anger that by

:12:27. > :12:31.doing so, they have delayed the possibility of holding a fatal

:12:32. > :12:36.accident inquiry into the tragedy. Families of the crew members were in

:12:37. > :12:39.court to hear the guilty plea which came almost seven years after that

:12:40. > :12:44.they lost their loved one. The union said it has been an unacceptable

:12:45. > :12:49.delay. That is important because it means that not only have lesson not

:12:50. > :12:52.been learned, but it also means there may well be some crucial

:12:53. > :12:56.health and safety matters that are still affecting those going about

:12:57. > :13:00.their daily business, working on the river Clyde. But Clyde port said it

:13:14. > :13:19.tragic. Coastguards agree things have improved I think lessons have

:13:20. > :13:24.been learned by everybody involved. Particularly, I think, that the way

:13:25. > :13:28.Clyde port has operated now, I understand is considerably different

:13:29. > :13:34.and much better. It is expected the judge will pass sentence on Monday.

:14:16. > :14:21.issues raised. The beds are block booked by the NHS and social worker

:14:22. > :14:25.authorities. We as the health port have stopped any transfers of our

:14:26. > :14:30.patients into the home, either on mental health side or on the older

:14:31. > :14:34.adult side and we won't be reinstating those until we are

:15:22. > :15:24.new clubhouse at an Aberdeenshire golf course have been approved

:15:40. > :15:41.supporting independence on the eve of last week's poll.

:15:42. > :15:43.But he says he wasn't happy about the wording

:15:44. > :15:45.of the tweet he sent, which he described as uncharacteristic.

:15:46. > :16:07.I don't regret giving an opinion, I think everyone should be, should be

:16:08. > :16:13.allowed that, the way I did it, yes, wasn't, wasn't something I would do

:16:14. > :16:18.again. I think, you know, there is very, it was an emotional day for a

:16:19. > :16:24.lot of Scottish, Scottish people, and the whole country, and that the

:16:25. > :16:29.whole of the UK, it was a big day, yes, the way it was worded, the way

:16:30. > :16:34.I sent it, that is not really my character, I don't formally do stuff

:16:35. > :16:37.like that, so, Yes, I was a bit disappointed so it is time to move

:16:45. > :16:46.of the world's top sporting events, Our reporter Lisa Summers

:16:47. > :16:59.has been finding out. The sentry course, a little sunshine

:19:50. > :19:53.is just a case of enjoying all the surroundings, getting used to the

:20:22. > :20:28.is fun to have a home crowd, have 37,000 fans be cheering for the USA,

:20:29. > :20:34.but an away game never hurt. The Galleries here are of a particular

:20:35. > :20:38.persuasion. Come on Europe! Par tan Tuesday, encouraging fans to revel

:21:35. > :21:39.partly because of a track record of developing young talent. And that is

:21:40. > :21:45.a trait of those holds in highest regard Of course I have big respect

:21:46. > :21:49.for Arsene Wenger, the way he has brought up good football player,

:24:40. > :24:45.want to spend their time studying patches of snow. But, when you get

:24:46. > :24:51.up close to these extraordinary formations, it is easy to see why

:24:52. > :24:56.they become a source of fascination. I moved o port Glasgow when I was

:24:57. > :25:00.nine. I could see Ben Lomond in the distance, every year the same patch

:25:01. > :25:05.of snow held on in the same place. This used to fascinate me. I thought

:25:06. > :25:10.why does it hole on there? Every year, I help to write a piper which

:25:11. > :25:14.appears in the royal meteorological society, where we chronicle how many

:25:15. > :25:18.patches of snow last from one winter to the next. That date is important

:25:19. > :25:23.because know patches have a vital role to play in the ecology of our

:25:24. > :25:28.mountain landscapes There are a group of plants that are associated

:25:29. > :25:32.with areas of is not just snow but long snow lie, like here. They have

:25:33. > :25:37.an ecological importance. Scientists will study the areas to see how the

:25:38. > :25:42.snow lie changes with climate change, and subsequently how those

:25:43. > :25:45.plant communities will be affected. Will this winter provide another

:25:46. > :25:58.record year for our summer snow hunters? We will find out soon

:25:59. > :26:02.enough. So snow on the mountains. There is no snow in the forecast for

:26:03. > :26:05.today. Some rain I am afraid. We have seen the cloud thickening in

:26:06. > :26:09.the north-west and we have seen rain there too. That will continue to

:26:10. > :26:12.spread eastwards across us as when he had through the night. Moving

:26:13. > :26:18.through swiftly, behind it clearer skies and under the clearer skies

:26:19. > :26:21.things turn chilly, so heavy rain in the north-west high land, the

:26:22. > :26:24.Northern Isles too, but clearing through at three o'clock in the

:26:25. > :26:28.morning we are looking at drier, clearer skies and showers in the far

:26:29. > :26:32.north and down to Galloway too. Temperatures and towns and cities,

:26:33. > :26:37.nine or ten degrees but in sheltered glens maybe a few degrees cooler. It

:26:38. > :26:40.means for tomorrow morning a few showers round but it is improving.

:26:41. > :26:45.We are looking at things drying up. More in the way of sunshine,

:26:46. > :26:50.especially in seven central and southern area a bit of cloud round.

:26:51. > :26:54.So for tomorrow afternoon, if we take a closer look, drier condition,

:26:55. > :26:57.sunshine in store, temperatures generally round the mid teens for

:26:58. > :27:01.all, round average for the time of year, some sunshine too in the

:27:02. > :27:04.north-west, one or two showers still round for the Northern Isles, but

:27:05. > :27:07.like today, for tomorrow, the best of the sunshine across the eastern

:27:08. > :27:12.half of the country and here we will see the best of the warmth, maybe

:27:13. > :27:15.reaching up to 16 degrees in the south and south-east.

:27:16. > :27:22.Temperatures again 15 degrees at best. So, then for tomorrow clear

:27:23. > :27:26.skies and sunshine, but the cloud continues to thicken. As a weak

:27:27. > :27:30.weather front approaches, bringing some rain. It will be light and

:27:31. > :27:33.patchy and as we head through into Thursday, the weather fronts will

:27:34. > :27:38.clear through overnight. But the tightening of the isobars show the

:27:39. > :27:43.strengthening wind, so for Thursday we are looking at a cloud cancer

:27:44. > :27:47.day. The winds could even touch up to gale force across the Hebrides

:27:48. > :27:51.and temperatures round the mid teen, but further to the east we will see

:27:52. > :27:55.the best of any brightness and warmth. Temperatures generally round

:27:56. > :28:00.19 or 20 degrees, and for Friday, well, a drier brighter day, more in

:28:01. > :28:03.the which of sunshine, but the winds still strong and temperatures round

:28:04. > :28:08.15 or 16 degrees. Thank you. One headline for you.
