The First Minister says a second independence referendum is now

Despite Scottish voters polling 62 percent in favour

of remaining in the EU, UK-wide people voted 52%

The Scottish Government is beginning to draw-up legislation allowing

the EU against its will, and that is "democratically

Here's our political editor Brian Taylor.

And so Britain heads out of the European Union and Scotland heads

into a constitutional quagmire. We must now prepare for a

negotiation with the European Union. As he resigned from office, the

private Mr acknowledged the devolved dimension, arguing that Hollywood

must play a part in from the new relationship with the EU.

This will need to involve the full engagement of the Scottish, Welsh,

and Northern Ireland governments. To ensure that the interests of all

part of our United Kingdom are protected and advanced.

Like most in Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon voted to remain. But

England and Wales said no and today she based the consequences.

As things stand, Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of the

EU against our will. I regard that as democratically unacceptable.

She said she'd seek any way of ensuring that Scotland remained

linked to the EU, but failing that, she would take steps now to prepare

for a possible independence referendum. The four Britain finally

exits the EU after two years of negotiations.

I think a referendum is now highly likely. But I also think it is

important that we take time to consider all steps and to have the

discussions, not least to assess the response of the European Union to

the vote that Scotland expressed yesterday.

But the league campaign's leading light, Boris Johnson, a possible

candidate for back Downing Street said there was not needed now to

fracture the UK. This does not mean that the United

Kingdom will be in anyway less united.

And you can's Scottish leader ridiculed top of an independence

vote. Whatever nonsense she is coming out

with, another referendum, she is talking through her hat.

But what will it mean in practice Bergerac at the Royal Highland show

today concerns over subsidies but no details yet. But still, division.

We won the war. So why do they have to tell us what to do?

That totally gutted. Just two, three years more of uncertainty and we

could do without it to be honest. I was quite shocked when I heard the

news but that is it. Just need to get on with it. Three

quarters of voters in Edinburgh chose remain. Glasgow voted remain.

Every Scottish area voted remain. Clear, certain. But only London and

Northern Ireland followed suit. Wales and large swathes of England

voted to leave. Result in Scotland, deep, deep uncertainty and disquiet.

Result in Scotland, deep, deep uncertainty and disquiet.

So are the circumstances right for another independence referendum?

Our political correspondent Glenn Campbell takes a look

It is less than two years since the last vote on Scottish independence

which some on the yes side site was a once in a generation event. But

Nicholas surgeon thinks a referendum rerun might be the best way to keep

Scotland in the EU. If not an independence referendum,

what other options are available to you?

I think an independence referendum is now highly likely.

It is opposed by her little rivals. We do not address the challenges of

leaving the European Union by leaving our own union of nations,

our biggest market and our closest friends.

But the independent sporting greens may be prepared to offer support.

If other possibilities than independence can emerge less debate

and discuss them. As the only possibility that can be found is to

vote against for independence that remains my own party's position.

At Hollywood the Greens and SNP to have the votes needed to call a

referendum. But some experts believe that could be legally difficult.

The general view is that the Scottish parliament would require

Westminster's consent to hold a referendum on independence.

And it's not? This could be quite messy. This possible to go ahead and

prepare some legislation but if that messy. This possible to go ahead and

legislation were to be introduced the Scottish Parliament then there

is a duty on the presiding officer the Scottish Parliament then there

to make that decision. Is this within the power?

And it is possible this could end". But the breast minster cannot afford

hold-ups. If there is to be another vote on independence, she wants it

to take race during the negotiation of the UK's exit from the EU to

maximise the chance of an independent Scotland being allowed

to continue in the EU rather than having to negotiate membership from

the outside. But all this depends on public

appetite for another referendum. Scotland has clearly voted a similar

result that they want to remain as part of Europe's identity there is

any option but to go for a second referendum.

I think people should get time to come down and think about it

properly so not straightaway but definitely in the near future.

We had enough of referendums and votes.

We run likely to be asked to cast another vote on independence unless

We run likely to be asked to cast SNP ministers are convinced the

result would be different second time round.

Earlier, I spoke to the Deputy First Minister,

John Swinney, and asked him if he believed his party could win

another independence referendum within two years.

The priority of the Scottish Government is to make sure that we

honour the votes that people in Scotland exercised in the referendum

yesterday when they clearly and decisively said they wanted to

remain members of the European Union. And the Scottish permit will

use the opportunity we have two implements that negotiating process,

to ensure that the interests of Scotland and our membership of the

EU is protected. That is what the people asked us. I think it is very

obvious as the First Minister said today, that given the fact that

Scotland voted so decisively to stay in the European Union and the UK did

the reverse, that the question of a further referendum on independence

is very much on the table and must be considered as part of that

process of protecting a remember ship of the EU.

So, the process is beginning to enable another referendum

on independence - how have Nicola Sturgeon's plans gone

Our political correspondent Nick Eardley is outside Number Ten.

It is quieting down here run Downing Street tonight. Perhaps time for

reflection after what has been a frantic, historic day here at

Westminster. Some fundamental questions remain tonight over what

this means for the economy, for the future political direction of the

UK, and of course what it means for the future of the United Kingdom

itself. We have stated can on the street behind the earlier saying

that he wants the Scottish Government to be involved in any

future Brexit talks. We know that the UK and Scottish governments have

future Brexit talks. We know that held dialogue over what exactly this

result means. But there will be questions for whoever takes over

from David Cameron. How they choose to engage with Nicola Sturgeon on

that amount for a second independence referendum should she

wants to call one. As we mull over the answer to the referendum that we

got in the early hours of this morning, many new questions

emerging. Some of which will take some time to answer.

At her news conference this morning, the First Minister reassured EU

citizens, stressing that they remain welcome and valued in Scotland.

But for the thousands of EU nationals working and studying here,

As our political correspondent Lucy Adams reports, it also raises

questions about how Europe views Scotland.

Cafe culture. One of the many things the UK has borrowed from the

continent. With 173,000 EU nationals currently living in Scotland, the

referendum result has far wider ramifications and raises concerns

and questions for them but also for Scotland's position overall Europe.

There is a message sent out that we don't want immigrants here. I think

students will take that to mean the UK does not want people to go there.

I don't know the consequence top from users like jumping in the dark.

There was not a clear plan about how things are going to be managed.

I think people see it as a rejection, unfortunately, at least

from my friends, from what I observed. For me personally, no, but

Scotland because the majority voted remain, this is why I think people

see Scotland in a very kind of positive way. And still see it as a

very welcoming place for studying and for the thing.

For those jetting off to foreign climes, the result raises questions,

not just about the cost of foreign currency, visas and holidays, but

of Europe. of Europe.

-- Scottish people. We might need a reason to get into certain

countries. -- a visa. I am more worried about the impact on us here

in Scotland and in the UK, people not being able to travel to work and

live. We managed beforehand and we can

manage now. It will change a lot of things.

They could will change holidays. Our favourite imports continue but free

University study, and the ability of EU nationals and Scots to work in

any of the EU's 27 countries could all change. Not today or tomorrow,

Not today or tomorrow, but another two years down the line.

The billionaire businessman Donald Trump has voiced his support

for Britain's decision to leave the European Union.

He was speaking at the opening of Trump Turnberry -

his golf resort on the Ayrshire coast.

Donald Trump, touching down at Turnberry and flying into a

political storm as Britain votes to sever ties with the European Union.

It is a great thing. It is going to be great.

I think it is a fantastic thing. The billionaire businessman brought

all his usual pizzazz to open the resort he spent millions to improve

and named after himself. But amid the media scrum security was tight.

As presidential candidate he is controversial, sometimes hard-line

views like a blanket ban on Muslims entering America. And those guards

soon had a job to do as this protester eight crash the party. In

his hand a set of golf balls emblazoned with a swastika. Donald

Trump has made a habit of taking what's media to his golf courses as

he tries to become American resident. But his timing, arriving

here today is hugely significant. He thinks the Brexit campaign one

because it led on issues like immigration. Which are the focus of

his campaign for the White House. On the votes to leave the EU, Donald

Trump was crystal clear. People want to take their country

back and they want to have independence in a sense. You've got

to let people that you want into independence in a sense. You've got

your country and people that you don't want people that you don't

think will be appropriate for your country are good for your country,

you don't have to take. But on the prospect of another

referendum on Scottish independence, for once, he was sitting on the

fence. That is up to the people of

Scotland. We have been through this. And really, again, I leave it up to

the people. I love the people of Scotland.

But some of them don't love him. These protesters came to Turnberry

to waste all tyres and Mexican flags to say what they think. -- to waive

sold higher flags. We all have to make a stand against

individuals seek to exploit crisis and fear to push a horrible agenda.

It would not thing for ordinary people. So with this golf resort now

There were demonstrations in both Edinburgh and Glasgow

More than 100 people gathered in the centre of Glasgow,

some denouncing Donald Trump, others campaigning

for migrants' rights following the EU referendum.

Outside St Giles Cathedral in the capital, there were protests

against the UK vote for Brexit, and against racism.

Our political correspondent Andrew Kerr joins me now.

So, how do you sum up the events of the past 24 hours?

What a night. And then what a day. A joyous event for some, a shocking

tragic event I suppose for others. Now to look at the ramifications of

wrecks it. There was another British Prime Minister John Major who

advocated a wait and see approach to the single currency and other big

European problems. We will have to have a wait-and-see approach to the

big Brexit issues. Will there be an economic shock? What about the big

issue for us here in Scotland and other independence referendum? When

might that be? That is the million dollar question. Will yes car that

enough support this time around? The big question is, that there are so

many of these questions that are just unanswerable at the moment. The

motto is wait and see. You are very good at saying that.

Thank you very much. Just time to get the forecast

for the weekend - here's Kirsteen. Good evening. We've had some really

quite lively weather today. We've seen some sunshine. We have seen

some really quite hefty thundery seen some sunshine. We have seen

downpours. Tonight we will continue to see some showers especially

across eastern and central areas. Some list, some low cloud across

much of the North and north-east. For the north-west Highlands holding

onto dry weather with some clear spells. And it quite mild muggy

night once again with temperatures holding up into double figures. Into

tomorrow a fine start to the day across the north-west was some

spells of brightness and sunshine. Elsewhere more in the way of cloud,

some showers continuing and they will become heavier as we go through

the afternoon. I think the main focus of the showers tomorrow will

be across southern, central and eastern areas. The showers really

quite heavy and nature. Again the odd rumble of thunder not out of the

question. At with the showers we will see some sunshine and it will

feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine with highs of 20 Celsius. Across the

Northwest we will hold onto largely dry conditions with some spells of

sunshine. That bit cloudy across the north-east at times although perhaps

fewer showers in the afternoon and the mist and low cloud. Somewhat

reluctant to clear from the Northern Isles and the far north coast.

Across the UK as a whole, tomorrow afternoon, we will continue to see

showers spreading from west to east. They really get going in the

afternoon again. Heavy and thundery in nature. Some sunshine at with the

showers and highs of around 21 Celsius. Into the evening in

Scotland the showers will gradually ease and as we head into Sunday we

will have a weather front approaching from the west with

central and eastern areas holding onto the driest, brightest weather

longest. Thank you.
