Scotland votes to stay in the EU as the UK decides to leave - | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
the First Minister says that makes a second independence | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
It is a significant and material change in circumstances, it is | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
therefore a statement of the obvious, that the option of a second | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
referendum must be on the table, and it is on the table. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
to the Deputy First Minister, John Swinney. | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
We analyse the impact of the decision on Scotland's | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
I was anxious, it is kind of bringing insecurity to the future. | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
to study and work here from other parts of the Europe. | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
And as presidential hopeful Donald Trump arrives at Turnberry | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
to reopen his golf resort he tells what he thinks about Brexit. | :01:07. | :01:29. | |
The First Minister says a second independence referendum | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
Despite Scottish voters polling 62% in favour | :01:34. | :01:46. | |
of remaining in the EU - UK-wide people voted 52% | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
The Scottish Government is beginning to draw-up legislation allowing | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
another independence referendum Nicola Sturgeon says Scotland faces | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
the prospect of being taken out of the EU against its will. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
And describes that as "democratically unacceptable". | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
Here's our Political Editor Brian Taylor. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
And so Britain heads out of the European Union and Scotland heads | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
into a coninstitutional quagmire. We must now prepare for a | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
negotiation with the European Union. As he resigned from office, the | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Prime Minister acknowledged the devolved dimension, arguing that | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Holyrood must play a part in forming a new relationship with the EU. | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
This will involve the full engagement with the Scottish, Welsh | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
and Northern Ireland governments, to ensure that the interests of all | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
parts of the United Kingdom are protected and advanced. | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Like most in Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, voted to remain. But | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
England and Wales said "no" and today she faced the consequences. | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
As things stand, Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of the | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
EU against our will. I regard that as democratically unacceptable... | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
She said she would seek any way of ensuring that Scotland remained | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
linked to the EU but failing that she would take steps now to prepare | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
for a possible independence referendum before Britain finally | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
exities the EU after two years of negotiations. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
I think a independence referendum is now highly likely but I also think | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
it important to take time to consider all steps and to have the | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
discussions not least to assess the response of the European Union to | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
the vote that Scotland expressed yesterday. | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
But the leave campaign's leading light, Boris Johnson, a possible | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
candidate for Downing Street, said there was no need now to fracture | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
the UK. This does not mean that the United | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Kingdom will be in any way less United. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
And Ukip Scottish leader, ridiculed talk of a further independence vote. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
Whatever nonsense Nicola is coming out with regards another referendum, | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
she is talking through her hat! But what will it mean in practice? At | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
the Royal Highland Show today, concern over farm subsidies, | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
although self evidently no details yet but division over the decision. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
We won the war, why did they have to tell us what to do? Gutted. Totally | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
gutted. Two, three years more of uncertainty and just... Just could | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
do without if it, to be honest. Just want to get on. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
I was shocked when I heard the news. But just need to get on with it. | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
Three-quarters of the voters in Edinburgh voted remain. Every | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Scottish area voted remain, clear, certain. London and Northern Ireland | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
followed suit, large swathes of Wales and England voted to leave. | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Devolved Scotland, deep uncertainty and disquiet. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
So are the circumstances right for another independence referendum? | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
Our Political Correspondent Glenn Campbell takes a look | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
It is less than two years since the last vote on Scottish independence | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
which some on the "yes" said was a once in a generation event. But | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Nicola Sturgeon thinks that a referendum re-run may be the best | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
way to keep Scotland in the EU. First Minister, if not an | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
independence referendum, what other options are available to you? I | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
think an independence referendum is now highly likely. | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
Indy re-II is opposed by political rank and files. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
We do not address the challenges of leaving the European Union, by | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
leaving the biggest market and our closest friends. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
prepared to offer support. prepared to offer support. | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
. If offer responsibilities emerge, let's debate and discuss | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
them, if the only possibility is to vote again for independence, that is | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
my own party's position. At heil rude, the greens and the | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
SNPs to call a referendum but some | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
experts believe it could be legally difficult. | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
The general view is that the Scottish Parliament requires | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Westminster's consent to hold a referendum on independence. If not? | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
This could be messy. It is possible to go ahead and prepare some | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
legislation but if that legislation were introduced to the Scottish | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Parliament, there is a duty on the presiding officer to make the call. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
It is possible it could end up in court. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
But the First Minister cannot afford hold ups if there is to be another | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
vote on independence, she wants it to take place during the negotiation | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
of the UK's ex-out were the EU to maximise the chance of an | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
independent Scotland being allowed to continue in the EU rather than | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
having to negotiate membership from the outside. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
But all of this depends on public appetite for another referendum. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Scotland has clearly voted based on the result that they want to remain | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
in Europe. So there is no option but to go for a second referendum I | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
think we need time to calm down and think about it. Not straight away | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
but definitely in the future. I've had enough of referendums and votes. | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
We are unlikely to be asked to cast another vote on independence, unless | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
SNP ministers are convinced that the result would be different the second | :07:43. | :07:43. | |
time around. I'm joined now from Holyrood by the | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Deputy First Minister, John Swinney. Another referendum, are you | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
convinced you can win it in two years? The priority of the Scottish | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Government is to ensure that we honour the votes that people in | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Scotland exercised in the referendum yesterday when they said that they | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
wanted to remain members of the European Union. The Scottish | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Government is to use the opportunity we have to influence that process to | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
ensure that the interests of Scotland and the membership within | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
the European Union is protected. That is what the people asked of us. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
But it is obviously as the First Minister said today, given the fact | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
that Scotland voted decisively to stay in the European Union and the | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
UK did the reverse, that the question of a further referendum of | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
independence is very much on the table and must be considered as part | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
of the process of protecting our membership with the European Union. | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
This time round you are asking people to choose between a union | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
with the rest of the UK and a union with the rest of Europe? But people | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
made it clear yesterday in Scotland that they wanted to ensure that our | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
country remained a member of the European Union. People in Scotland | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
country remained a member of the expressed the view more decisively, | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
frankly, than the opinion has been expressed in the reverse by the rest | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
of the United Kingdom about leaving the European Union. Given that in | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
the Scottish referendum in 2014, such emphasis was placed by the "no" | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
campaign on the fact if people wanted to protect the EU membership | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
in Scotland they had to vote "no", they voted "no" and now we have the | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
consequence of the referendum yesterday, of losing the membership | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
of the European Union. So the Scottish government will concentrate | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
efforts on making sure we can do what we can to use the influence in | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
the process to protect Scotland's membership within the European | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Union. That is what the public in Scotland expect us to do and that is | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
what we concentrate our efforts on when taking it forward. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Even if there is pressure on links with our biggest trading partner | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
Even if there is pressure on links over the border? It is important to | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
get the arrangements that the people of Scotland wanted. They expressed | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
yesterday a desire to remain an outward looking nation, to be | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
consected to the European Union, to participate in the activities with | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
the European Union, I don't think it should be a surprise that the | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Scottish Government wants to ensure that is what we use our influence to | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
deliver. But it should be equally clear, if unable to secure that, to | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
preserve Scotland's membership of the European Union, then a question | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
of a second referendum must be on the table to ensure that the people | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
of Scotland are able to have the democratic constitutional | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
arrangements that they have opted to have. | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
So the talk to maintain the links, what does it mean? The Prime | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
Minister said in his resignation statement this morning that the | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
Scottish Government would be fully involved in the process with | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
negotiating with the European Union. We want to ensure it is the case. To | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
have direct discussions with the European Union to advance Scotland's | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
interests. Our people expressed clearly and democratically, the | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
desire to maintain's Scotland membership with the European Union | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
and the Scottish Government will do everything we can do to ensure it is | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
effective as a consequence of the participation and the negotiations | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
around these arrangements. And briefly, Mr Swinney, what do you | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
say to more than 1 million people in Scotland who voted for Brexit? There | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
has been a democratic decision that the people of Scotland arrived at | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
yesterday. The majority, 62% of those who voted said that they | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
wanted Scotland to remain a member of the European Union. It is | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
important that the democratic view of the people of Scotland is taken | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
forward. It is a significant and a material change from the proposition | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
put to us in our own referendum in 2014. It is vital that the Scottish | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Government does all we can to protect the membership of the | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
European Union, that the people of Scotland asked us to protect. | :12:04. | :12:04. | |
Thank you very much. Let's go to Westminster | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
for the reaction there David, amid the maelstrom, | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
has there been any response to Nicola Sturgeon's suggestion that | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
another independence The first thing to say is that | :12:14. | :12:27. | |
people in the building behind me neither expected nor wanted to be in | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
the position they are tonight, but they are having to get used to the | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
new political realities. Instinctively, most MPs and the UK | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
Government do not want a second Scottish referendum, they hoped the | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
issue had been put to bed in 2014. But yesterday's voting utterly | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
changed that. England and Wales voted to leave, Scotland are | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
resolutely voted to remain. We heard Nicola Sturgeon saying that if | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
Scotland was forced to leave the EU, in her words that would be" | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
democratically unacceptable". If there was to be a second referendum, | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
Westminster would essentially have to give its permission for Scotland | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
to hold that. Therefore potentially there's an awful what of hard | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
negotiating to on between Westminster and Holyrood in the | :13:19. | :13:19. | |
days, weeks and months to come. I'm joined by our Political | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
Editor Brian Taylor. Nicola Sturgeon yearns for | :13:23. | :13:38. | |
independence, her party yearns for independence. If that is to come | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
about, it's come through a referendum, but not now and not in | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
these circumstances and at this time or in these conditions. They want to | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
drive the time and the agenda to make it of their own choice. For | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
example, they want to upgrade and update the White Paper, to not | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
include the European question, because that has now moved. | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
Questions like currency and broad economy and Scotland's standing in | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
the world. They want to do that in their own timescale. Two | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
possibilities for a referendum in a shorter timescale. One is that | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
people are so furious in Scotland about being taken out of the | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
European Union, as they would see it and as the SNP would argue, that | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
they might turn towards independence. The other perspective | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
is that people are so concerned and anxious about the uncertainty | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
already present in the UK body politics and consequently in | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
Scotland, that they don't wish to add to that turmoil with further | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
constitutional change. For that range of reasons, Nicola Sturgeon | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
wants independence and knows it requires a referendum, but not now. | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
Lots of political uncertainty - and for the economy, too. | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
There will have to be new rules negotiated about the movement | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
of goods and people between Britain and Europe. | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
That's sent shockwaves across markets. | :15:01. | :15:01. | |
Our Economy Editor, Dogulas Fraser, has the details. | :15:02. | :15:10. | |
Markets didn't expect this. They assumed the vote would be to remain. | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
The index of leading shares plunged this morning and recovered to end | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
the day 7% down. London wasn't the only one, stocks down across Europe, | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
Asia and America and markets closer to home were effected. Almost | :15:29. | :15:37. | |
business as usual in Glasgow today. The message from many big businesses | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
in Scotland, these firms wanted to remain in the European Union but | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
today said they respected the voters' decision and would have to | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
adapt. The world's stock markets were shocked and stunned and the | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
Bank of England was taking all necessary steps to support | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
stability. Business wants to hear that from the government as well. | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
The next step for Scottish business is to calm things down. There is an | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
uncertain environment at the moment but it's business as usual in terms | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
of products, services and people moving around Europe. The next | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
priority must be for the UK Government to responsibly and timely | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
manage the exit from the European marketplace. In this market many | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
were asking traders if prices would go up. The pound was at its lowest | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
point in three decades, pushing up the price of an imported car, a | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
foreign holiday, and an American visit just got 10% more costly. | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
Scottish biggest export, whiskey, could be helped by lower prices | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
overseas but distillers have more concerns. We used to benefit from | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
the free trade agreements that the EU has and the future benefits of | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
those are not clear. Access to the single market in future is not | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
clear. We need for this uncertainty to be dealt with as quickly as | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
possible. Offshore energy has plenty of problems already. More turmoil | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
will not help. It's a global industry, very involved globally and | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
investors are global. I don't think it will be a big impact on oil and | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
gas but I have more concerned about the impact in the medium-term on the | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
UK economy. That's where decisions in other areas will be important to | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
get the best deal we can. Apart from the fall in the pound, other changes | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
will not be immediate, more likely to come when firms face decisions on | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
investment and jobs. Many of these decisions affect firms across | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
Britain, those in Scotland have the added uncertainty that another | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
independence referendum could be on the way. | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
In her address this morning, the First Minister reassured EU | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
But for the thousands of EU nationals working and studying here, | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
the result means uncertainty and raises questions about how | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
Our Political Correspondent Lucy Adams reports. | :17:49. | :17:58. | |
Cafe culture, one of the many things the UK has borrowed from the | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
continent. With 173,000 EU nationals currently living in Scotland, the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
referendum result has far wider ramifications and raises concerns | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
and questions for them and also for Scotland's position overall in | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
Europe. A clear message sent out that we don't want immigrants here. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
It might be that we want certain immigrants here. But people might | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
think, the UK doesn't want people to go there. I don't know the | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
consequence. For me it's like jumping into the dark. There is no | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
clear plan about how things are going to be managed. I think many | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
people see it as a rejection, unfortunately, at least from my | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
friends and what I have observed. For me personally, not, but | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Scotland, because the majority voted to remain, I think that's why people | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
see Scotland in a very positive way and still see it as a very welcoming | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
place for studying and living. and still see it as a very welcoming | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
those jetting off to foreign climes, the result raises questions not just | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
about the cost of foreign currency, visas and holidays, but about how | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
Scottish people are welcomed by the rest of Europe. We might need a Visa | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
to go into certain countries. Maybe walls are put up to go into certain | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
countries. I'm more worried about the impact on us here in Scotland at | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
and UK people not being able to travel, not being able to travel | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
here to the UK to live and work. We managed before and I'm sure we will | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
manage again. It will change a lot of things but maybe not holidays | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
yet. Favourite imports will continue but freedom of movement and freedom | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
of study for EU students and the ability to live and work in any of | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
the EU's 27 countries might change, not today or tomorrow, but another | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
two years down the line. The billionaire businessman | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
Donald Trump has voiced his support for Britain's decision to leave | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
the European Union. his golf resort on the Ayrshire | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
coast. From there, our business | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
correspondent David Donald Trump touching down at | :20:10. | :20:22. | |
Turnberry. And flying into a political storm. As Britain votes to | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
sever ties with the European Union. I think it's a great thing. I think | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
it's going to be great. Are you worried? No, I think it's a | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
fantastic thing. The billionaire businessman brought all his usual | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
razzmatazz to open the golf course he spent millions to improve and | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
named after himself. Indymedia scrum, security was tight for Trump | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
the politician. As the presidential candidate he has spilled out | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
controversial and sometimes hard-line views, like a blanket ban | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
on Muslims entering America. And those guards soon had a job to do, | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
as this protester gate-crashed the party. In his hands were a set of | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
golf balls emblazoned with a swastika. Donald Trump has made a | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
habit of taking the media to his golf courses as he tries to become | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
American president. But his timing, arriving here today, is hugely | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
significant. He thinks the Brexit campaign won because it led on | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
issues like immigration, which are the focus of his campaign for the | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
White House. On the votes to leave the EU, Donald Trump was crystal | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
clear. People want to take their country back. They want to have | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
independence in a sense. You're going to let people you want into | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
your country, and people you don't want, or people you don't think | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
we'll be appropriate for your country, or good for your country, | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
you do not have to take. But on the prospect of another referendum on | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
Scottish independence, for once he was sitting on the fence. That's up | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
to the people of Scotland. We have been through this. I leave it up to | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
the people. I love the people of Scotland. Donald Trump is not | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
welcome here! But some of them, don't love him. These protesters | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
came to Turnberry to waive Sol tyres and Mexican flags and say what they | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
thought of Championship politics. In these troubled times in the world, | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
we need to take a stand against individuals who exploit crisis and | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
fears to push a horrible agenda that does nothing for ordinary people. | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
With this golf resort now finished, the Trump campaign heads off and he | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
will try to achieve an upset on the scale of Britain's Brexit result on | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
the other side of the pond. Time for the weekend weather | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
forecast. It very unsettled day of weather | :22:50. | :22:59. | |
across Scotland with some heavy and thundery downpours across much of | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
the country. This evening the showers will tent to ease somewhat | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
and there will be sunshine around for most of us. Into tonight and it | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
will be fairly cloudy across much of the East with showers working their | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
way into these areas. Missed and low cloud affecting the Northern Isles, | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
and coastal areas. Dry night in the West with clear spells across the | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
north-west allowing temperatures fall to around eight Celsius for | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
some sheltered Roel parts of the north-west Highlands. It will be a | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
fairly humid night with temperatures holding up in double figures. | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
Tomorrow we'll start with some dry and bright weather across the | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
central coastal areas. Drier in the East. Missed and low cloud turning | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
back from North Sea coasts. A mix of sunshine and potentially heavy | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
showers in the afternoon. Most of the showers in the afternoon will be | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
across southern and central Scotland. Heavy showers, thundery at | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
times. Western coastal areas holding onto dry conditions with plenty of | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
sunshine around. Across the North and north-east, easing in the | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
showers as we had through the afternoon and into tomorrow. Highs | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
of around 20 Celsius. The wind will remain light. If you are after the | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
Royal Highland show tomorrow, it's looking like a mixture of sunshine | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
and showers with highs of 17 Celsius. On Sunday, after a fairly | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
dry and bright start, we will see some rain moving in later. Saturday | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
evening across Scotland, the showers will tend to EE is with a lot of | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
sunshine around to end the day. Sunday, something of a change with a | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
weather front moving in from the Atlantic bringing rain. | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
Let's get one final thought from our Political Editor, Brian Taylor. | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
Brian, is there any way of explaining the difference between | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
I think a lot of it is to do with identity. Scotland is a very | :25:00. | :25:08. | |
unsettled view of their constitutional future but the sense | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
of identity and being Scottish is settled. South of the border is a | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
contrast. The good and sensible people of England are concerned on | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
three fronts. First they wonder what the Scots are up to. Second they are | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
very concerned about immigration and that came through strongly in this | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
referendum. Third, they are concerned about the European Union. | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
Whereas in Scotland it's seen as an integral part of Scottish identity, | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
in England it's not like that, it's seen as something to overwhelm the | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
sense of identity, and that difference is what has driven the | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
chains. Of course there are opinions both sides of the border, but in | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
terms of the preponderance of opinion, I think that sense of | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
English identity is driving the difference. | :25:57. | :25:58. | |
Now, a reminder of tonight's main news. | :25:59. | :25:59. | |
a second independence referendum is now "highly likely". | :26:00. | :26:11. | |
in the EU - UK-wide, people voted 52% in favour of leaving. | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
Nicola Sturgeon says Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
There have been scenes of jubilation among the Leave campaign alongside | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
calls for calm before the complicated process begins | :26:23. | :26:24. | |
David Cameron has announced he will step down and expects | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
to be replaced as Prime Minister by the Autumn. | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
There's no indication yet as to who the next inhabitant | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team, right | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
across the country, have a very good evening. | :26:39. | :26:43. |
