Police in Glasgow are investigating whether carbon monoxide might be

Their bodies were found at a flat in the city's east end.

The police arrived at the ground floor flat

here in Glasgow's Gallowgate area about midday.

They got into the property and found the bodies of the two women.

The police say the cause of their deaths is not yet known

but there doesn't appear to be suspicious circumstances.

One theory is that the women died of carbon monoxide poisoning

and gas engineers have been here all afternoon.

A number of neighbouring plots have also been evacuated.

Carbon monoxide is an odourless gas that can be produced

when gas appliances aren't working properly.

The police say their investigations are continuing.

Investigations will be carried out to find out the precise cause

The SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon says she's "almost certain"

there would be a second independence referendum if the UK votes to leave

Meanwhile, most of her rivals in the Holyrood election campaign

remain firmly opposed to revisiting Scotland's relationship

Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

For the first time in a Holyrood election, the SNP manifesto does not

include a firm commitment to hold an independence referendum. But Nicola

Sturgeon leaves open the possibility, in certain

circumstances, as she set out in a BBC interview. If we are taken out

of the EU against our will live or want to give the people of Scotland

an opportunity to protect EU membership by looking at

independence again. So would you have a referendum? I would judge the

circumstances of that at the time the situation arises. Nicola

Sturgeon is reserving the right to call another independence referendum

if she moraines First Minister. During the course of the election

campaign, the Labour leader, has been quoted as saying that it wasn't

inconceivable she could back independence in the UK voted to

leave the European Union and Scotland wanted to stay in. But on

the Sunday politics today, the Labour leader made clear she would

not support another referendum, never mind vote for independence. In

every scenario I would vote no again because I believe the economic case

for independence has fallen apart. I think the best way is to pull the

resources of Scotland and the UK together. The Conservative leader

thinks the SNP would have no right to demand a referendum rematch if

thinks the SNP would have no right they remain in power. There is no

mandate for a second referendum, it's not in the manifesto. And it

would not have been a trigger for it. I don't believe there will be

enacted, so I stand with the majority of people in Scotland and

save a decision we made to remain part of the UK. On the same

programme, the Liberal Democrat leader said talk of a second

referendum was depressing. People said very clearly that they wanted

to stay in the UK. The SNP said they would respect the result that they

to stay in the UK. The SNP said they are planning a new referendum

campaign after the summer. The Scottish Green party said a 1

million signature petition is a possible route to another vote on

independence. I think setting an arbitrary date now for a second

independence referendum would be a mistake and we should only have that

referendum when the people of Scotland are ready for it. There is

a range of ways of engaging that. Smaller Socialist party is, such as

Rise, go into the election demanding a referendum rerun as soon as

possible and reject the SNP caution and its earlier talk of independence

as a one -- once in a generation question.

Let's get the weather forecast for this evening

For many of us, dry day with us bit of sunshine and a lovely sunset sent

by one of the weather watchers from Edinburgh. Tonight, dry with clear

spells in the main body of the country and we will see wintry

showers feeding in and it is a sign of things to come. Over the next

couple of days we are seeing arctic air feeding in the UK and into

northern Europe as well with brisk, cold northerly winds. You will

really feel the difference. Tomorrow it's initially dry for the country,

spells of sunshine and maybe the showers feeding across northern

areas and they will become increasingly wintry. Gaels will

develop across the Northern Isles and towards the coast and we will

have cold and wintry weather here, with air feeding in across the

Northeast and in towards the rest of eastern Scotland as we had through

the day with Gaels developing across the East Coast. A lot of dry weather

for the West with bright sunny spells, and actually it is that same

pattern we will see over the rest of the UK with Northern Ireland dry,

north-west England seeing a few showers but into Wales in the

south-west, dry and sunny spells by a hefty showers across more eastern

parts with brisk winds across the East Coast. Look at the

temperatures, eight Celsius, maybe nine at best and the showers may be

more frequent across northern areas through tomorrow night with possibly

even snow at lower levels and it stays windy. That's the forecast.

Our next update is at 6.25 tomorrow morning.

Until then, from everyone on the weekend team, enjoy what's

Er, good looking, good sense of humour, smells nice.
