:00:43. > :00:47.Hours earlier and Nicola Sturgeon had been with other readers in the
:00:48. > :00:53.grand and dry Hopetoun house. One issue sparked the most heated
:00:54. > :00:57.exchanges, the question of a second independent referendum. It is not
:00:58. > :01:01.good for our country, economy or encouraging jobs and growth that all
:01:02. > :01:04.of the things we want to see. Seeing and respecting the results does not
:01:05. > :01:12.mean that we all need to crawl away and shut up about it. Do they not
:01:13. > :01:15.get the message? We want to stay in the UK. You are into different
:01:16. > :01:20.papers today saying yes we might have won and now you're seeing now

:01:31. > :01:35.lips of the Scottish people today and the blame game over who wants to
:01:36. > :01:39.keep the debate going. It is the side that won that referendum who

:01:51. > :01:56.seem infuriated at the notion that Scotland will ever consider this

:02:00. > :02:03.determined to keep us in those are the means of the past. Let's focus
:02:04. > :02:09.on the future and how we can use the new powers of Parliament to ask the
:02:10. > :02:13.richest 1% to pay their fair share. The Conservatives and Liberal
:02:14. > :02:16.Democrats argue it is the SNP serving uncertainty. It is not

:02:48. > :02:53.electoral weather for another vote to be held. She said it is others
:02:54. > :02:55.who keep returning to the issue. The other parties want to talk about
:02:56. > :03:00.independence more than I have been doing in the selection. Everybody
:03:01. > :03:05.knows I support independence, it is no surprise, but Scotland will only
:03:06. > :03:09.become independent if that is what a majority of people want. There are
:03:10. > :03:12.many issues for voters to ponder ahead of the election, we have heard
:03:13. > :03:17.a lot about tax and education and other issues but this will be the

:04:17. > :04:19.suggests there is no link between Friday's crash and two
:04:20. > :04:35.in the North Sea in 2012. The aftermath of Friday's helicopter
:04:36. > :04:39.crash off the coast of Norway. The emergency services arrived to find
:04:40. > :04:46.survivors among the burning debris, but there were none from the 13
:04:47. > :04:48.occupants. One of those killed was 41-year-old Ian Stewart from
:04:49. > :04:54.Aberdeenshire. His family called him a loving husband and devoted father,

:05:04. > :05:08.every year. Their temporary grounding has led to some logistical
:05:09. > :05:12.headaches. Offshore workers are now being ferried to the North Sea using
:05:13. > :05:16.other helicopter models, but the company which owns the crash
:05:17. > :05:20.helicopter CHC said it is too early to assign blame. It is a little
:05:21. > :05:24.early to speculate on the reasons for the accident, I would say that
:05:25. > :05:29.we will continue to work very closely with the regulators and the
:05:30. > :05:32.manufacturers to ensure that we find, hopefully the root cause of
:05:33. > :05:38.the incident and hopefully learn from it. The two to five is now

:06:52. > :06:55.some sunshine but overnight tonight the breezy and chilly conditions
:06:56. > :06:58.continue and that is how we start things tomorrow. Fairly frequent
:06:59. > :07:03.showers but the further east you are the more likely to see some dry
:07:04. > :07:09.spots and sunshine. Temperatures at ADL are five and 6 degrees, you
:07:10. > :07:13.could get a shower in areas with it is not so chilly. The further west
:07:14. > :07:18.the heavy showers could come with hail and the odd rumble of thunder,
:07:19. > :07:22.too. As we head to the course of Tuesday those showers will extend
:07:23. > :07:25.elsewhere across the country, but actually the general trend across
:07:26. > :07:30.the course of tomorrow is for those showers to ease off and from many
:07:31. > :07:33.areas to turn that bit drier, that bit sunnier. Across Northern Ireland
:07:34. > :07:38.and improvement, too, but south of the border most of England try and
:07:39. > :07:46.bright, similar to four here with temperatures in the mid-teens. By
:07:47. > :07:52.mid-afternoon those showers much lighter than the morning, and really
:07:53. > :07:54.starting to fade away so some late sunshine for many but the cloud
:07:55. > :07:59.thickens in the West ahead of a band of rain, which is a weather front
:08:00. > :08:03.you can see at the chart coming in on Wednesday. We have this area of
:08:04. > :08:09.high pressure in the near continent stalling the progress somewhat.

:08:17. > :08:23.Coast with temperatures at 14 degrees. Looking to Thursday, it is
:08:24. > :08:28.a bit drier but still fairly cloudy at the with temperatures continue to
:08:29. > :08:31.go on the up. So the vast plenty of sunshine at temperatures up to
:08:32. > :08:34.around 20 degrees in London but it does not stop there because as we
