It's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's

:00:00.:00:00.

In an unguarded moment, the Prime Minister David Cameron

:00:00.:00:12.

claims the Queen purred down the line, when he told her

:00:13.:00:14.

It comes as Alex Salmond addressed the Scottish Parliament

:00:15.:00:17.

for the first time since the referendum and his resignation.

:00:18.:00:23.

The port operator on the Clyde admits breaching health

:00:24.:00:26.

and safety laws over the deaths of three crewmen seven years ago.

:00:27.:00:30.

The golfing world descends on Perthshire, ahead of the Ryder

:00:31.:00:33.

And ever wondered why some snow manages to survive

:00:34.:00:47.

Join me for an insight into the world of Scotland's snow hunters.

:00:48.:01:08.

The First Minister, Alex Salmond, has described the referendum

:01:09.:01:10.

as "the greatest democratic experience in Scotland's history."

:01:11.:01:12.

However, opposition parties called for him to respect the result.

:01:13.:01:16.

In a moment, we'll have a full report on that,

:01:17.:01:18.

but first to our political editor, Brian Taylor, who's at Holyrood

:01:19.:01:21.

tonight with news of an unguarded comment from the Prime Minister.

:01:22.:01:23.

The Prime Minister was in New York, he was catting with the former mayor

:01:24.:01:39.

Michael Bloomberg, he was caught on camera talking about his delight at

:01:40.:01:44.

the referendum outcome but also sharing with former mayor Bloomberg

:01:45.:01:48.

the moment that he, David Cameron, alerted the Queen to the fact that

:01:49.:01:52.

the vote had gone for the Ewing I don't know. Here is what he had to

:01:53.:01:55.

say. It is not every day in truth you

:01:56.:02:17.

hear a description of the Queen purring. It is unlikely we will be

:02:18.:02:25.

able to say whether the Queen did offer feline felicitation, the

:02:26.:02:30.

Palace is declining to comment. David Cameron said it was close, he

:02:31.:02:35.

says he is considering, think he was joking suing the opinion polling

:02:36.:02:38.

companies for giving him ulcers. Let us turn to the Scottish Parliament,

:02:39.:02:42.

turn to Holyrood Parliament, not Palace. There was a debate here at

:02:43.:02:45.

the Scottish Parliament on the aftermath of the referendum, of

:02:46.:02:49.

course there was talk about the independence offer, there was talk

:02:50.:02:54.

about the causes of the defeat for that independence offer, but the big

:02:55.:02:58.

focus here at Holyrood today, was on gaining more powers for the Scottish

:02:59.:03:05.

Parliament. Alex Salmond had hoped to be coming

:03:06.:03:11.

to Holyrood to announce independence but the presiding officer reminded

:03:12.:03:16.

MSPs that Scotland would change. It cannot and it must not be business

:03:17.:03:21.

as usual. The First Minister opened by extolling the huge turn out in

:03:22.:03:27.

the referendum. This has been the greatest democratic experience in

:03:28.:03:31.

Scotland's history and brought it great credit, nationally and

:03:32.:03:35.

internationally. Now the talk is of more devolved power, in the gallery

:03:36.:03:39.

Lord submit of Kelvin tasked with that challenge. The SNP will join

:03:40.:03:44.

that search and Alex Salmond laid down his aims. The jobs test in

:03:45.:03:49.

particular, genuine job creating powers are important. They should

:03:50.:03:53.

allow us to build a fairer society, we need to address the deep lying

:03:54.:03:57.

causing of unequality in Scottish society. And it should enable

:03:58.:04:01.

Scotland to have a stronger and clearer articulated voice, on the

:04:02.:04:05.

international stage. Johann Lamont offered to work with Scottish

:04:06.:04:09.

ministers on every day issue, arguing that support for the union

:04:10.:04:14.

was now settled I don't speak for the 45%. I don't speak for the 55%.

:04:15.:04:21.

I speak for the 100% of the people in this country, who want politics

:04:22.:04:25.

to be about their lives, their concern, their families, and their

:04:26.:04:28.

future. On social media, there have been

:04:29.:04:32.

complaints of vote-rigging, dismissed by the authority, for the

:04:33.:04:37.

Tory, Ruth Davidson said such talk was futile. We need acknowledgement

:04:38.:04:41.

that the process was not flawed. Not just the mechanics of the process,

:04:42.:04:48.

but the process itself. Friday was clear, legal and decisive. I am sure

:04:49.:04:52.

no-one in this chamber will dispute that. Two million people decided we

:04:53.:04:59.

were Better Together. Patrick Harvie said the people must be consulted

:05:00.:05:05.

over any new powers If this is a deal done inside the political

:05:06.:05:09.

bubble it will fail to give effect to that groundswell appetite and

:05:10.:05:13.

enthusiasm. For genuine democratic reform.

:05:14.:05:18.

A challenge for our MSPs. All our MSPs.

:05:19.:05:26.

One more thing tonight, John Wilson has resigned from the SNP whip. He

:05:27.:05:30.

was very unhappy about the party's policy switch when they endorsed

:05:31.:05:34.

NATO membership in the vent of independence. He was pre-Prince of

:05:35.:05:39.

Waled upon to stay. He has now gone. It cuts the SNP's majority behind me

:05:40.:05:45.

to just one. -- prevailed. Despite that the SNP are wishing him well in

:05:46.:05:51.

his future and are taking wit a degree of sang froid. They are

:05:52.:05:59.

saying that is one MSP, 20,000 new members in the past few days.

:06:00.:06:02.

how to channel the political energy the referendum campaign unleashed.

:06:03.:06:06.

Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

:06:07.:06:12.

Nay queued to vote. The turn out was record-breaking and many of those

:06:13.:06:20.

drawn into politics by the referendum want to stay involved.

:06:21.:06:24.

The political parties behind the Yes campaign have reported a membership

:06:25.:06:30.

surge, last Thursday, the Scottish greens had 1800 member, by lunchtime

:06:31.:06:34.

today that trebled to 54 hundred. The SNP fought the referendum with

:06:35.:06:40.

more nan 25,000 members. By three this afternoon that had more than

:06:41.:06:45.

doubled to 51 50 making the nationalists the third largest

:06:46.:06:50.

political party in the UK. The aspirations that were embodied in

:06:51.:06:55.

the Yes campaign are still there. They are not been extinguished by a

:06:56.:07:00.

No vote. So they are looking for an avenue, a home. At Holyrood the

:07:01.:07:06.

First Minister's aspiration for 16 and 17-year-olds to be allowed to

:07:07.:07:10.

vote in future election, having given them a say on independence.

:07:11.:07:14.

There is not a shred of evidence for arguing now that 16 and 17-year-olds

:07:15.:07:21.

should not be allowed to vote. The Labour leader Ed Miliband supports

:07:22.:07:24.

lowering the voting age but young people in Edinburgh have mixed

:07:25.:07:28.

feelings I just voted in the referendum, so I don't think, don't

:07:29.:07:32.

see a problem in like, why we shouldn't be allowed to vote. I

:07:33.:07:38.

don't think they should. Why? There is a lot of people who don't have

:07:39.:07:42.

enough knowledge. The current Westminster Government doesn't

:07:43.:07:44.

support votes for 16-year-olds, what the UK Government, the Scottish

:07:45.:07:47.

Government, all the political parties agree on is that the No vote

:07:48.:07:53.

was not a vote for no change. There now needs to be further devolution

:07:54.:07:57.

of power from Westminster, to Holyrood.

:07:58.:08:01.

The man trying to get all sides to agree a specific package of extra

:08:02.:08:04.

devolution met Scottish party leaders today. My message to the

:08:05.:08:09.

political parties today, is that Scotland is expecting us to arrive

:08:10.:08:14.

at consensus, so we would ask them to enter into this in the spirit of

:08:15.:08:18.

good will. Persuading those who voted yes and those who voted no to

:08:19.:08:24.

agree on the way forward for Scotland, is no mean feat.

:08:25.:08:29.

The Labour leader has accused the Prime Minister of learning

:08:30.:08:31.

the wrong lessons from the outcome of the Scottish referendum.

:08:32.:08:34.

In his speech to the party's conference, Ed Miliband

:08:35.:08:36.

said David Cameron was seeking to divide, not unite the UK.

:08:37.:08:39.

Our Westminster correspondent David Porter reports from Manchester.

:08:40.:08:45.

Five days on from that referendum result, and still the politicians

:08:46.:08:52.

are coming to terms with how things have changed forever. For the Labour

:08:53.:08:56.

leader a mixture of relief and satisfaction. Our country nearly

:08:57.:09:01.

broke up. A country that nearly splits apart is not a country in

:09:02.:09:08.

good health. I want to start by thanking all of Labour's Team

:09:09.:09:12.

Scotland, for the part they played in keeping our country together.

:09:13.:09:17.

APPLAUSE Using the theme together for his

:09:18.:09:22.

speech, he recalled a woman he met in the referendum campaign, her

:09:23.:09:26.

concerns should provide a less for all politicians. -- lesson Her maim

:09:27.:09:31.

was Josephine, she worked as a cleaner in the building. She didn't

:09:32.:09:34.

want to leave, but she thought it might be the best thing to do. That

:09:35.:09:41.

wasn't just the referendum question. That is the General Election

:09:42.:09:47.

question. A promise of extra money for the NHS

:09:48.:09:52.

but it is plain the referendum, political truce is now over. If

:09:53.:09:56.

David Cameron cares so much about the union, why is he seeking to

:09:57.:10:02.

divide us? He is learning the wrong lessons from Scotland. And from

:10:03.:10:07.

delegates a warm welcome for those promised extra powers. We have got

:10:08.:10:11.

to deliver what has been promised to Scotland. He recognised the

:10:12.:10:16.

importance of England and the other nations within the union. We have to

:10:17.:10:20.

put the referendum behind us and fight to get Labour into the

:10:21.:10:24.

Government. Scotland is the first promise to keep and the rest have to

:10:25.:10:31.

follow. Ed Miliband knows he will be held accountable for those

:10:32.:10:32.

devolution promises. You're watching Reporting Scotland

Reevel Alderson reports. The aftermath of a tragedy. In dense

:11:14.:11:29.

fog, the Clyde tug Flying Phantom capsized while towing a larger

:11:30.:11:32.

vessel. The rescue effort went on through the night but three of the

:11:33.:11:41.

crew drowned. Skipper Steven Humphreys, engineer Bob Cameron, and

:11:42.:11:47.

Eric blackly all died. A fourth crew member swam to safety. A black was

erected on the river bank near where the tug foundered. It struck the

relatively narrow stretch of river in thick fog. Initially collide port

doing so, they have delayed the possibility of holding a fatal

A 16-year-old has been taken into custody, after a suspected firearms

The teenager, thought to be carrying a gun, had been seen earlier leaving

Residents in parts of Lerwick were warned to stay indoors.

A ban on new admissions has been placed on a Dumfries care home

branded unsatisfactory. Alan bank got the lowest possibly grading from

:14:06.:14:10.

the care inspectorate. Owners say they are working to address the

:14:11.:14:15.

issues raised. The beds are block booked by the NHS and social worker

:14:16.:14:21.

authorities. We as the health port have stopped any transfers of our

:14:22.:14:25.

patients into the home, either on mental health side or on the older

:14:26.:14:30.

adult side and we won't be reinstating those until we are

:14:31.:14:34.

assured of improvements. By contrast a council run activity and resource

:14:35.:14:39.

centre in Newton Stewart has been awarded excellent status. The centre

:14:40.:14:45.

which provides support for adults with learning disabilities has the

highest ratings for care, staffing, management and leadership. They

:14:50.:14:53.

found examples of excellent practise.

:14:54.:15:01.

An inspection report carried out a Greenock prance has praised the way

:15:02.:15:04.

staff deal with prisoners with drug or alcohol problems. It is a good

:15:05.:15:09.

report but the inspection, the first for five years highlights problems

:15:10.:15:14.

with the building, and dampness in one accommodation hall. Plans for a

:15:15.:15:21.

new clubhouse at an Aberdeenshire golf course have been approved

:15:25.:15:29.

or a second course until proposals to build and offshore windfarm

Andy Murray says he has no regrets over the comments he made,

:15:37.:15:39.

supporting independence on the eve of last week's poll.

:15:40.:15:41.

But he says he wasn't happy about the wording

:15:42.:15:43.

of the tweet he sent, which he described as uncharacteristic.

:15:44.:15:45.

I don't regret giving an opinion, I think everyone should be, should be

allowed that, the way I did it, yes, wasn't, wasn't something I would do

:16:08.:16:13.

again. I think, you know, there is very, it was an emotional day for a

:16:14.:16:18.

lot of Scottish, Scottish people, and the whole country, and that the

:16:19.:16:24.

whole of the UK, it was a big day, yes, the way it was worded, the way

:16:25.:16:29.

I sent it, that is not really my character, I don't formally do stuff

like that, so, Yes, I was a bit disappointed so it is time to move

of the world's top sporting events, Our reporter Lisa Summers

What I want to say, very very specifically, as, is there is no

specific threat against the Ryder Cup or any person participating or

anything. And not playing too much table tennis! You know, so, Yes, it

:19:45.:19:49.

is just a case of enjoying all the surroundings, getting used to the

PGA sentry course. The sight proving almost too much for some. Go USA! It

is fun to have a home crowd, have 37,000 fans be cheering for the USA,

:20:22.:20:28.

but an away game never hurt. The Galleries here are of a particular

persuasion. Come on Europe! Par tan Tuesday, encouraging fans to revel

The Celtic manager Ronny Deila says Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp

The Norwegian says the ability of the Arsenal manager and

Deila's been speaking to our senior football reporter

:21:14.:21:16.

Alasdair Lamont about life around, and away from football.

:21:17.:21:25.

Ronny Deila's introduction to Scottish football has in his own

:21:26.:21:30.

words had a few ups and downs, the Norwegian was brought to Celtic

:21:31.:21:34.

partly because of a track record of developing young talent. And that is

:21:35.:21:39.

a trait of those holds in highest regard Of course I have big respect

:21:40.:21:45.

for Arsene Wenger, the way he has brought up good football player,

young player, world class players is unbelievable. And Knights of

things turn chilly, so heavy rain in the north-west high land, the

Northern Isles too, but clearing through at three o'clock in the

morning we are looking at drier, clearer skies and showers in the far

north and down to Galloway too. Temperatures and towns and cities,

:26:29.:26:32.

nine or ten degrees but in sheltered glens maybe a few degrees cooler. It

:26:33.:26:37.

means for tomorrow morning a few showers round but it is improving.

:26:38.:26:40.

We are looking at things drying up. More in the way of sunshine,

especially in seven central and southern area a bit of cloud round.

So for tomorrow afternoon, if we take a closer look, drier condition,

reaching up to 16 degrees in the south and south-east.

Temperatures again 15 degrees at best. So, then for tomorrow clear

skies and sunshine, but the cloud continues to thicken. As a weak
