:06:02. > :06:04.any option but to go for a second referendum.
:06:05. > :06:06.I think people should get time to come down and think about it
:06:07. > :06:09.properly so not straightaway but definitely in the near future.
:06:10. > :06:15.We had enough of referendums and votes.
:06:16. > :06:19.We run likely to be asked to cast another vote on independence unless
:06:20. > :06:23.We run likely to be asked to cast SNP ministers are convinced the
:06:24. > :06:25.result would be different second time round.
:06:26. > :06:28.Earlier, I spoke to the Deputy First Minister,
:06:29. > :06:31.John Swinney, and asked him if he believed his party could win
:06:32. > :06:36.another independence referendum within two years.
:06:37. > :06:41.The priority of the Scottish Government is to make sure that we
:06:42. > :06:45.honour the votes that people in Scotland exercised in the referendum
:06:46. > :06:48.yesterday when they clearly and decisively said they wanted to
:06:49. > :06:52.remain members of the European Union. And the Scottish permit will
:06:53. > :06:56.use the opportunity we have two implements that negotiating process,
:06:57. > :07:00.to ensure that the interests of Scotland and our membership of the
:07:01. > :07:04.EU is protected. That is what the people asked us. I think it is very
:07:05. > :07:08.obvious as the First Minister said today, that given the fact that
:07:09. > :07:13.Scotland voted so decisively to stay in the European Union and the UK did
:07:14. > :07:16.the reverse, that the question of a further referendum on independence
:07:17. > :07:18.is very much on the table and must be considered as part of that
:07:19. > :07:19.process of protecting a remember ship of the EU.
:07:20. > :07:22.So, the process is beginning to enable another referendum
:07:23. > :07:25.on independence - how have Nicola Sturgeon's plans gone
:07:26. > :07:34.Our political correspondent Nick Eardley is outside Number Ten.
:07:35. > :07:41.It is quieting down here run Downing Street tonight. Perhaps time for
:07:42. > :07:44.reflection after what has been a frantic, historic day here at
:07:45. > :07:48.Westminster. Some fundamental questions remain tonight over what
:07:49. > :07:52.this means for the economy, for the future political direction of the
:07:53. > :07:56.UK, and of course what it means for the future of the United Kingdom
:07:57. > :08:00.itself. We have stated can on the street behind the earlier saying
:08:01. > :08:05.that he wants the Scottish Government to be involved in any
:08:06. > :08:09.future Brexit talks. We know that the UK and Scottish governments have
:08:10. > :08:13.future Brexit talks. We know that held dialogue over what exactly this
:08:14. > :08:17.result means. But there will be questions for whoever takes over
:08:18. > :08:21.from David Cameron. How they choose to engage with Nicola Sturgeon on
:08:22. > :08:25.that amount for a second independence referendum should she
:08:26. > :08:30.wants to call one. As we mull over the answer to the referendum that we
:08:31. > :08:33.got in the early hours of this morning, many new questions
:08:34. > :08:35.emerging. Some of which will take some time to answer.
:08:36. > :08:39.At her news conference this morning, the First Minister reassured EU
:08:40. > :08:42.citizens, stressing that they remain welcome and valued in Scotland.
:08:43. > :08:44.But for the thousands of EU nationals working and studying here,
:08:45. > :08:50.As our political correspondent Lucy Adams reports, it also raises
:08:51. > :09:01.questions about how Europe views Scotland.
:09:02. > :09:09.Cafe culture. One of the many things the UK has borrowed from the
:09:10. > :09:14.continent. With 173,000 EU nationals currently living in Scotland, the
:09:15. > :09:19.referendum result has far wider ramifications and raises concerns
:09:20. > :09:27.and questions for them but also for Scotland's position overall Europe.
:09:28. > :09:32.There is a message sent out that we don't want immigrants here. I think
:09:33. > :09:35.students will take that to mean the UK does not want people to go there.
:09:36. > :09:41.I don't know the consequence top from users like jumping in the dark.
:09:42. > :09:46.There was not a clear plan about how things are going to be managed.
:09:47. > :09:49.I think people see it as a rejection, unfortunately, at least
:09:50. > :09:55.from my friends, from what I observed. For me personally, no, but
:09:56. > :09:58.Scotland because the majority voted remain, this is why I think people
:09:59. > :10:02.see Scotland in a very kind of positive way. And still see it as a
:10:03. > :10:07.very welcoming place for studying and for the thing.
:10:08. > :10:11.For those jetting off to foreign climes, the result raises questions,
:10:12. > :10:15.not just about the cost of foreign currency, visas and holidays, but
:10:16. > :10:21.of Europe. of Europe.
:10:22. > :10:27.-- Scottish people. We might need a reason to get into certain
:10:28. > :10:32.countries. -- a visa. I am more worried about the impact on us here
:10:33. > :10:36.in Scotland and in the UK, people not being able to travel to work and
:10:37. > :10:39.live. We managed beforehand and we can
:10:40. > :10:44.manage now. It will change a lot of things.
:10:45. > :10:50.They could will change holidays. Our favourite imports continue but free
:10:51. > :10:54.University study, and the ability of EU nationals and Scots to work in
:10:55. > :10:58.any of the EU's 27 countries could all change. Not today or tomorrow,
:10:59. > :11:04.Not today or tomorrow, but another two years down the line.
:11:05. > :11:06.The billionaire businessman Donald Trump has voiced his support
:11:07. > :11:08.for Britain's decision to leave the European Union.
:11:09. > :11:12.He was speaking at the opening of Trump Turnberry -
:11:13. > :11:15.his golf resort on the Ayrshire coast.
:11:16. > :11:28.Donald Trump, touching down at Turnberry and flying into a
:11:29. > :11:32.political storm as Britain votes to sever ties with the European Union.
:11:33. > :11:38.It is a great thing. It is going to be great.
:11:39. > :11:45.I think it is a fantastic thing. The billionaire businessman brought
:11:46. > :11:49.all his usual pizzazz to open the resort he spent millions to improve
:11:50. > :11:57.and named after himself. But amid the media scrum security was tight.
:11:58. > :11:59.As presidential candidate he is controversial, sometimes hard-line
:12:00. > :12:04.views like a blanket ban on Muslims entering America. And those guards
:12:05. > :12:09.soon had a job to do as this protester eight crash the party. In
:12:10. > :12:14.his hand a set of golf balls emblazoned with a swastika. Donald
:12:15. > :12:17.Trump has made a habit of taking what's media to his golf courses as
:12:18. > :12:24.he tries to become American resident. But his timing, arriving
:12:25. > :12:28.here today is hugely significant. He thinks the Brexit campaign one
:12:29. > :12:33.because it led on issues like immigration. Which are the focus of
:12:34. > :12:38.his campaign for the White House. On the votes to leave the EU, Donald
:12:39. > :12:42.Trump was crystal clear. People want to take their country
:12:43. > :12:44.back and they want to have independence in a sense. You've got
:12:45. > :12:47.to let people that you want into independence in a sense. You've got
:12:48. > :12:51.your country and people that you don't want people that you don't
:12:52. > :12:53.think will be appropriate for your country are good for your country,
:12:54. > :12:58.you don't have to take. But on the prospect of another
:12:59. > :13:00.referendum on Scottish independence, for once, he was sitting on the
:13:01. > :13:05.fence. That is up to the people of
:13:06. > :13:08.Scotland. We have been through this. And really, again, I leave it up to
:13:09. > :13:15.the people. I love the people of Scotland.
:13:16. > :13:19.But some of them don't love him. These protesters came to Turnberry
:13:20. > :13:26.to waste all tyres and Mexican flags to say what they think. -- to waive
:13:27. > :13:32.sold higher flags. We all have to make a stand against
:13:33. > :13:36.individuals seek to exploit crisis and fear to push a horrible agenda.
:13:37. > :13:41.It would not thing for ordinary people. So with this golf resort now
:13:42. > :13:44.finished, the current campaign heads are plenty will try to achieve an
:13:45. > :13:48.upset on the scale of Britain's Brexit about on the other side of
:13:49. > :13:51.There were demonstrations in both Edinburgh and Glasgow
:13:52. > :13:55.More than 100 people gathered in the centre of Glasgow,
:13:56. > :13:57.some denouncing Donald Trump, others campaigning
:13:58. > :14:00.for migrants' rights following the EU referendum.
:14:01. > :14:02.Outside St Giles Cathedral in the capital, there were protests
:14:03. > :14:08.against the UK vote for Brexit, and against racism.
:14:09. > :14:10.Our political correspondent Andrew Kerr joins me now.
:14:11. > :14:19.So, how do you sum up the events of the past 24 hours?
:14:20. > :14:25.What a night. And then what a day. A joyous event for some, a shocking
:14:26. > :14:29.tragic event I suppose for others. Now to look at the ramifications of
:14:30. > :14:34.wrecks it. There was another British Prime Minister John Major who
:14:35. > :14:38.advocated a wait and see approach to the single currency and other big
:14:39. > :14:43.European problems. We will have to have a wait-and-see approach to the
:14:44. > :14:48.big Brexit issues. Will there be an economic shock? What about the big
:14:49. > :14:52.issue for us here in Scotland and other independence referendum? When
:14:53. > :14:57.might that be? That is the million dollar question. Will yes car that
:14:58. > :15:03.enough support this time around? The big question is, that there are so
:15:04. > :15:07.many of these questions that are just unanswerable at the moment. The
:15:08. > :15:09.motto is wait and see. You are very good at saying that.
:15:10. > :15:10.Thank you very much. Just time to get the forecast
:15:11. > :15:18.for the weekend - here's Kirsteen. Good evening. We've had some really
:15:19. > :15:20.quite lively weather today. We've seen some sunshine. We have seen
:15:21. > :15:26.some really quite hefty thundery seen some sunshine. We have seen
:15:27. > :15:29.downpours. Tonight we will continue to see some showers especially
:15:30. > :15:33.across eastern and central areas. Some list, some low cloud across
:15:34. > :15:36.much of the North and north-east. For the north-west Highlands holding
:15:37. > :15:41.onto dry weather with some clear spells. And it quite mild muggy
:15:42. > :15:45.night once again with temperatures holding up into double figures. Into
:15:46. > :15:48.tomorrow a fine start to the day across the north-west was some
:15:49. > :15:54.spells of brightness and sunshine. Elsewhere more in the way of cloud,
:15:55. > :15:58.some showers continuing and they will become heavier as we go through
:15:59. > :16:01.the afternoon. I think the main focus of the showers tomorrow will
:16:02. > :16:06.be across southern, central and eastern areas. The showers really
:16:07. > :16:10.quite heavy and nature. Again the odd rumble of thunder not out of the
:16:11. > :16:13.question. At with the showers we will see some sunshine and it will
:16:14. > :16:17.feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine with highs of 20 Celsius. Across the
:16:18. > :16:21.Northwest we will hold onto largely dry conditions with some spells of
:16:22. > :16:25.sunshine. That bit cloudy across the north-east at times although perhaps
:16:26. > :16:30.fewer showers in the afternoon and the mist and low cloud. Somewhat
:16:31. > :16:34.reluctant to clear from the Northern Isles and the far north coast.
:16:35. > :16:37.Across the UK as a whole, tomorrow afternoon, we will continue to see
:16:38. > :16:42.showers spreading from west to east. They really get going in the
:16:43. > :16:46.afternoon again. Heavy and thundery in nature. Some sunshine at with the
:16:47. > :16:50.showers and highs of around 21 Celsius. Into the evening in
:16:51. > :16:53.Scotland the showers will gradually ease and as we head into Sunday we
:16:54. > :16:57.will have a weather front approaching from the west with
:16:58. > :17:00.central and eastern areas holding onto the driest, brightest weather
:17:01. > :17:02.longest. Thank you.
:17:03. > :17:06.There's more on the fallout from the referendum
:17:07. > :17:08.on Good Morning Scotland from 8:00am tomorow morning over
:17:09. > :17:11.From everyone on the late team here in Glasgow
:17:12. > :17:22.and around the country - goodnight.
