:00:11. > :00:13.in a referendum on a question that will have an impact
:00:14. > :00:16.on everything from our economy to our national security.
:00:17. > :00:20.This time of course we'll be voting on the UK's place in Europe.
:00:21. > :00:23.So, as the campaign gets underway how are the sides stacking up here,
:00:24. > :00:27.More on that on a moment, but first to Westminster
:00:28. > :00:29.where our correspondant David Porter watched the prime minister take HIS
:00:30. > :00:49.So, what has the head to Mac ever done for Scotland? Supporters of
:00:50. > :00:53.remaining in point to examples like these, infrastructure projects build
:00:54. > :01:01.with the help of European cash. Those who want to leave are quick to
:01:02. > :01:04.cite Scotland, arguing the interests of the fishing industry have been

:01:11. > :01:13.defections the majority of his Cabinet support the Prime Minister.
:01:14. > :01:21.Keen to buy in Scotland into the wider argument. Statement, the Prime
:01:22. > :01:26.Minister. This afternoon David Cameron took that arguments directly
:01:27. > :01:30.to MPs. We will be in the part of Europe that work follows,
:01:31. > :01:34.influencing the decisions that affect us in the driving seat of the
:01:35. > :01:38.world's biggest single market and with the ability to take action to
:01:39. > :01:44.keep people safe but we will be out of the parts of Europe that do not
:01:45. > :01:49.work follows, out of the euro, out of the Eurozone bailouts, out of the
:01:50. > :01:53.passport free no Borders Schengen area and permanently as legally
:01:54. > :01:58.protected from ever being part of an ever closer union. I want Scotland
:01:59. > :02:03.and the rest of the UK to remain within the European Union, however
:02:04. > :02:08.if we are forced out of the EU I have certain that the public in
:02:09. > :02:13.Scotland will demand a referendum on Scottish independence and we will
:02:14. > :02:19.protect our place in Europe. If we are going to have a referendum on
:02:20. > :02:23.Europe I am excited on -- to make a positive case. Based on jobs and
:02:24. > :02:26.opportunities for young people across Europe. Because it is so soon
:02:27. > :02:32.we simply must get on with making the case for why you busy good thing
:02:33. > :02:37.for people here in Scotland. Not everyone in Scottish politics
:02:38. > :02:41.agrees. This is an argument that cuts across traditional party
:02:42. > :02:45.boundaries. It is simple, everyone our sovereignty back the good thing
:02:46. > :02:50.is it's got them get out of the European Union we will get a lot of
:02:51. > :02:57.power back from Brussels, things like fishing, agriculture,
:02:58. > :03:00.industry,... I think the political parties in Scotland should be
:03:01. > :03:04.connect with the electorate and listen to the millions of people who
:03:05. > :03:09.have had enough of Brussels corruption, incompetence and wasting
:03:10. > :03:12.our money. I believe that when it comes to the vote of the 23rd of
:03:13. > :03:18.June Scotland like England and the rest of the UK will actually vote to
:03:19. > :03:22.leave. The clock is ticking, with a referendum just four months away.
:03:23. > :03:26.Before then Scottish voters will be asked to choose the make-up of the
:03:27. > :03:30.new Scottish parliament. The two campaigns in the future of Scotland
:03:31. > :03:38.and more widely on the UK's relationship with Europe could
:03:39. > :03:40.become inextricably linked. At this early stage, what are
:03:41. > :03:42.perceived to be the key issues? Our political correspondent
:03:43. > :03:53.Nick Eardley has been out I feel like we have lost a lot of
:03:54. > :03:56.control and I think that with silly things, health and safety and that
:03:57. > :04:03.kind of thing, if they focused on the important matters it would make
:04:04. > :04:08.me more inclined to stay. If you are wanting to trade with others it is
:04:09. > :04:13.easier if you are in it, so there are things to be discussed. The fact
:04:14. > :04:17.that we rule the world as well as this point so we don't want to be
:04:18. > :04:23.bullied by other countries so I think we are strong enough to be on
:04:24. > :04:28.our own. We want more control over our own borders, that is one of the
:04:29. > :04:33.issues. There's not enough information for me to make full
:04:34. > :04:36.decision. That is the problem, a lack of understanding of the system
:04:37. > :04:42.and how it works. I don't really have a grey understanding of how it
:04:43. > :04:43.works was it is something that must be seriously addressed in the
:04:44. > :04:44.referendum. Earlier, I spoke to our political
:04:45. > :04:56.editor Brian Taylor A lot of variation in the issues and
:04:57. > :05:02.as we saw before many people wanting clarity. They want clarity, and
:05:03. > :05:07.uncanny echo particularly in the closing comments in Glasgow there,
:05:08. > :05:11.and uncanny echo for me of September 2014, people are understandably
:05:12. > :05:17.hoping that there is a formula that can calculate whether it is better
:05:18. > :05:21.to stay in the EU ought to read, but there isn't. People must determine
:05:22. > :05:26.what their own priorities are, security of the economy are
:05:27. > :05:28.sovereignty, what's important is the attached tools, and they must make
:05:29. > :05:33.their own calculations on that basis. We saw in this Robertson in
:05:34. > :05:38.the Commons, how likely is it that the result of the European
:05:39. > :05:45.referendum could lead to another referendum on independence year? You
:05:46. > :05:50.could call Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP say they are in favour of the EU
:05:51. > :05:53.in principle but even in that calculation, a British exit against
:05:54. > :05:57.Scottish wishers could trigger a demand for a further independence
:05:58. > :06:01.referendum. I do not believe it is guaranteed or automatic, there could
:06:02. > :06:05.be some who would say that in the event of British exit there is a
:06:06. > :06:12.climate of uncertainty, a huge climate of uncertainty and they
:06:13. > :06:17.would not want to add to that. Nicola Sturgeon was to know for
:06:18. > :06:23.certain as things can be, that folk are going to vote for independence.
:06:24. > :06:27.She does not want to hold the referendum, she wants to win one.
:06:28. > :06:29.Train services on the West Coast Main Line resumed today,
:06:30. > :06:32.almost two months after storm damage caused the closure of a bridge
:06:33. > :06:36.The Lamington Viaduct in South Lanarkshire
:06:37. > :06:38.was close to collapse following Storm Frank on Hogmanay.
:06:39. > :06:55.It is a sight for sore eyes, trains back on the West Coast mainline. At
:06:56. > :06:59.Glasgow Central they were -- there were a celebratory cupcakes for
:07:00. > :07:03.every passenger. Just before the end the northbound and Vanessa sleeper
:07:04. > :07:09.crossed the viaduct for the first time in seven weeks. I go down every
:07:10. > :07:15.week and come back every week so I have deleted it is back on. Very
:07:16. > :07:20.pleased but I did enjoy the travel at the other route. I got stuck
:07:21. > :07:26.during the floods and I was supposed to come back in the Sunday but do
:07:27. > :07:31.not get back till Wednesday. On Hogmanay the viaduct was damaged, it
:07:32. > :07:35.was the way -- the foundations were washed away. It has taken hundreds
:07:36. > :07:39.of people working 24 hours per day to repair the bridge. There are
:07:40. > :07:42.hundreds of engineers working around the clock to get the linebacker
:07:43. > :07:49.open, he difficult job given the nature of the location. Working
:07:50. > :07:54.under the waters of the River cloud. They have been lucky to get a break
:07:55. > :07:59.in the weather over the course of February, water levels have dropped.
:08:00. > :08:02.And this is where it is going to happen, here in the river bank
:08:03. > :08:08.barred rocks should help stop erosion. , The essential works have
:08:09. > :08:12.been completed but there are other works to be done upstream which will
:08:13. > :08:16.improve the flow of the river and that work involves placing rock
:08:17. > :08:28.armour on the river bank against the real whale in Abbey National offer
:08:29. > :08:31.protection. The work to the viaduct is complete, the West Coast Main
:08:32. > :08:34.line is open but teams will remain here to shore up the river bank to
:08:35. > :08:36.strengthen it and prevent it from eroding.
:08:37. > :08:38.A man has died in a two car crash in Dumfriesshire.
:08:39. > :08:41.It happened shortly after midday on the A701 Dumfries to Moffat
:08:42. > :08:44.Police say the driver of the second car taken to hospital
:08:45. > :08:48.The road was closed all afternoon for crash investigations
:08:49. > :08:53.He began his life in Leith and ended it as our most decorated pilot.
:08:54. > :08:56.Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown died at the weekend at the age of 97.
:08:57. > :08:59.In an extraordinary career he flew more types of plane than anyone
:09:00. > :09:01.else, survived being torpedoed and helped to liberate survivors
:09:02. > :09:19.Joanne Macaulay looks back at his life.
:09:20. > :09:26.Eric Brown was born in Leeds in 1919 and his passion began when he sat in
:09:27. > :09:31.a play with his father as a child. He flew to -- 487 different types of
:09:32. > :09:40.playing off endangers conditions. For example in aeroplane in Germany
:09:41. > :09:44.would crash in the United Kingdom, if it was not badly damaged we would
:09:45. > :09:48.put it together and I would fly at and be able to tell the boys in our
:09:49. > :09:54.squadrons what to expect when they come up against it. Eric Brown
:09:55. > :09:59.survived 11 plane crashes and eight Peter ship. He was known as twinkle
:10:00. > :10:03.because he was short but what he may have lacked in stature he made a
:10:04. > :10:08.foreign skill, knowledge and bravely. E-mail aviation safer
:10:09. > :10:14.because as a test pilot he did so much to understand what is cold the
:10:15. > :10:19.trans-sonic zone, going from below the speed of sound through the sound
:10:20. > :10:27.barrier at a time when nobody knew what was going on. Captain Brown and
:10:28. > :10:34.cloud the harrowing scenes at the Billson concentration camp and he
:10:35. > :10:39.interrogated and why. He answered everything precisely and never tried
:10:40. > :10:47.to avoid anything, and was really quite charismatic. In a horrid way.
:10:48. > :10:51.Eric "Winkle" Brown continued to write and give talks on aviation
:10:52. > :10:57.throughout his life and it was hard to give up flying in his 70s. I
:10:58. > :11:07.suspect it was rather like a drug addict having withdrawal symptoms. I
:11:08. > :11:12.was not good to live with for the next year. Just last month 100
:11:13. > :11:18.pilots joined him to celebrate his 97th birthday. He died yesterday
:11:19. > :11:21.after a short illness, ending a remarkable life is full of action
:11:22. > :11:28.and courage. What a man.
:11:29. > :11:34.Two sides of the coin this weekend, settled in nature and during the day
:11:35. > :11:41.a lot of dry weather and the other side of the coin, cold with
:11:42. > :11:46.widespread frost. Here is one of our pictures sent in from South Uist,
:11:47. > :11:51.the beautiful atmospheric scene. Tonight the forecast is to be cold
:11:52. > :11:56.and frosty, wintry showers in the North planning to snow in lower
:11:57. > :12:00.levels and ice risks. A cold start tomorrow with that Irish risk across
:12:01. > :12:04.northern Scotland, and those wintry showers piling in from first light.
:12:05. > :12:08.Tomorrow morning around the freezing mark across the board but good sunny
:12:09. > :12:14.spells, frosty start since chilly as you step out the door. He met offers
:12:15. > :12:22.you will be aware warning for ice and snow across Scotland tomorrow
:12:23. > :12:25.morning. As for the rest of the day there will be very little changes,
:12:26. > :12:31.the showers keep coming and there is a lot of dry and sunny weather in
:12:32. > :12:36.between the showers. As for the rest of the UK, one or two showers
:12:37. > :12:40.fringing the course of Northern Ireland, a lot of dry weather here
:12:41. > :12:44.and across the western side of England and Wales looking very good
:12:45. > :12:47.as well, dry and dusty further south you go the higher the temperatures
:12:48. > :12:50.will be. More in the way of cloud for Eastern areas with one or two
:12:51. > :12:55.showers peppering the east coast which will feel quite chilly with
:12:56. > :12:59.the brisk wind. Back in Scotland we are holding the dry conditions the
:13:00. > :13:03.self, or when the ratio was for the course of the afternoon and into the
:13:04. > :13:07.evening before northern Scotland get another ice risk with a widespread
:13:08. > :13:12.hard frost forming tomorrow night, temperatures falling well below
:13:13. > :13:16.freezing. We could see down to -10 for parts of the Highlands where
:13:17. > :13:20.snow continues to lie. Brotherly winds drive the cold air across
:13:21. > :13:26.Scotland but it is fresh and cleaner so not all bad. This good spells of
:13:27. > :13:28.sunshine for the South. When the showers in the North.
:13:29. > :13:32.Good night.
