:00:29. > :00:31.here said they wanted to stay in the European Union,
:00:32. > :00:34.the UK as a whole voted to leave. 62% of Scots voted for Remain,

:00:59. > :01:01.The UK wide vote was 48% for remaining and 52%
:01:02. > :01:07.While we wait for that media conference from the First Minister,
:01:08. > :01:09.let's remind ourselves of what the Prime Minister said
:01:10. > :01:20.We must prepare for a negotiation with the European Union. This will
:01:21. > :01:22.involve, the Scottish, Welsh, and the Northern Ireland governments to
:01:23. > :01:28.ensure that the interests of all parts of the United Kingdom are
:01:29. > :01:33.protected and advanced. But above all, this will require strong,

:01:40. > :01:43.Dugdale has been speaking to Political Correspondents, Glen

:01:46. > :01:54.vote. Edinburgh, 75%. So we have a It is significant. A strong Remain

:02:20. > :02:28.House. Our Political Correspondent, Andrew Kerr is there.
:02:29. > :02:38.Nicola Sturgeon will be coming into the room shortly. This was the room
:02:39. > :02:42.where Alex Salmond resigned, a very different political scenario. Today,
:02:43. > :02:45.the First Minister here, very defiant after that vote, after that
:02:46. > :02:49.result. She's been saying that the people of Scotland see their future
:02:50. > :02:55.as part of the European Union. How might that work out? Well, the
:02:56. > :03:00.former First Minister, Alex Salmond has been quick to suggest that the
:03:01. > :03:01.manifesto commitments will be implemented and a second
:03:02. > :03:05.independence referendum could be possible. We are to hear from the
:03:06. > :03:10.First Minister shortly. We are seeing what she will be talking
:03:11. > :03:16.about. Perhaps asking, asserting the right for Scotland to have new
:03:17. > :03:21.powers, the powers under the so-called section 30 order for
:03:22. > :03:25.Scotland to have that, those powers to hold another independence
:03:26. > :03:30.referendum. Of course, Holyrood does not have institutional powers to
:03:31. > :03:32.hold a referendum, those have to be granted from Westminster. We are
:03:33. > :03:36.about to hear from the First Minister. She is walking into the
:03:37. > :03:47.room just now. Let's hear from Nicola Sturgeon.
:03:48. > :03:52.Good morning. Thank you all very much for joining me this morning
:03:53. > :03:59.after a long night and a long few months for all of us.
:04:00. > :04:02.Yesterday Scotland, like London and Northern Ireland, voted
:04:03. > :04:08.overwhelmingly to remain in the European Union. We voted to protect
:04:09. > :04:13.our place in the world's biggest single market and the jobs and
:04:14. > :04:18.investment that depend on it. We voted to safeguard our freedom to
:04:19. > :04:25.travel, live, work and study in other European countries, and we
:04:26. > :04:29.voted to renew our reputation as an outward looking, open and inclusive
:04:30. > :04:35.country. It is significant, in my view, that we did so after a
:04:36. > :04:40.campaign that was positive about the EU, and about the benefits of
:04:41. > :04:46.migration. Indeed, I want to take the opportunity this morning to
:04:47. > :04:52.speak directly to citizens of other European countries living here in
:04:53. > :04:57.Scotland - you remain welcome here, Scotland is your home and your
:04:58. > :05:00.contribution is valued. Unfortunately, of course,
:05:01. > :05:05.yesterday's result in Scotland was not echoed across the whole of the
:05:06. > :05:10.United Kingdom. The UK-wide vote to leave the EU is
:05:11. > :05:15.one that I deeply regret. It remains my passionate belief it is better
:05:16. > :05:20.for all parts of the UK to be members of the European Union.
:05:21. > :05:29.But the vote across England and Wales was a rejection of the EU, it
:05:30. > :05:32.was a sign of die vergence between Scotland and large parts of the rest
:05:33. > :05:37.of the UK and how we see our place in the world. But the vote was not
:05:38. > :05:40.just about the EU but a clear expression of the disaffection with
:05:41. > :05:45.the political system felt in too many communities. Communities taken
:05:46. > :05:49.for granted by Labour for generations and punished with
:05:50. > :05:53.austerity cuts by the Tories for a financial crisis they did not cause,
:05:54. > :05:58.using this referendum to make their voice heard. The Westminster
:05:59. > :06:02.establishment has some serious soul-searching to do, I hope very
:06:03. > :06:04.much that it now does it. But as First Minister of Scotland, I
:06:05. > :06:11.have a duty to respond, not just to But as First Minister of Scotland, I
:06:12. > :06:17.the outcome across the UK but also and in particular to the democratic
:06:18. > :06:22.decision take been I the people of Scotland. As things stand, Scotland
:06:23. > :06:27.faces the prospect of being taken out of the EU against our will. I
:06:28. > :06:32.regard that as democratically unacceptable.
:06:33. > :06:36.Of course, we face that prospect less than two years after being told
:06:37. > :06:39.it was our own referendum on independence that would end our
:06:40. > :06:43.membership of the European Union, and that only a rejection of
:06:44. > :06:47.independence could protect it. Indeed for many people, the supposed
:06:48. > :06:52.guarantee of remaining in the EU was a driver in our decision to vote to
:06:53. > :06:57.stay within the UK. So there is no doubt that
:06:58. > :07:01.yesterday's result represents a significant and a material change of
:07:02. > :07:05.the circumstances in which Scotland voted against independence in 2014.
:07:06. > :07:13.My job now is to act responsible, voted against independence in 2014.
:07:14. > :07:17.and in the interests of ALL of Scotland, and that is what I intend
:07:18. > :07:23.to do. The Cabinet are to meet tomorrow morning to discuss our next
:07:24. > :07:28.steps in more detail but I want to set out now immediate priorities.
:07:29. > :07:32.Firstly, we have a job to do to provide as much reassurance and
:07:33. > :07:36.certainty as we can. I spoke a short while 50 to the governor of the Bank
:07:37. > :07:40.of England to discuss plans to reissue the markets and restore
:07:41. > :07:44.financial stability. Starting this afternoon, the ministers will be
:07:45. > :07:47.engaged in discussions with key stake holders, especially in the
:07:48. > :07:52.business community to emphasise that as of now we are still firmly in the
:07:53. > :07:56.EU, trade and business continue as normal. We are determined that
:07:57. > :08:02.Scotland will continue now and in the future to be an attractive and a
:08:03. > :08:05.stable place to do business. Our resilience committee to meet this
:08:06. > :08:10.afternoon to oversee the immediate actions.
:08:11. > :08:15.Secondly, I want to make it absolutely clear today that I intend
:08:16. > :08:21.to take all possible steps and explore all options to give effect
:08:22. > :08:25.to how people in Scotland voted. In other words, to secure our
:08:26. > :08:30.continuing place in the EU and in the single market in particular.
:08:31. > :08:35.To that end I have made clear to the Prime Minister this morning that the
:08:36. > :08:40.Scottish Government must be fully and directly involved in any and all
:08:41. > :08:45.decisions about the next steps that the UK Government intends to take.
:08:46. > :08:50.We also be seeking direct discussions with the EU institutions
:08:51. > :08:52.and its Member States including the earliest possible meeting with the
:08:53. > :08:56.President of the European Commission. I will be communicating
:08:57. > :09:00.over this weekend with each EU member state to make clear that
:09:01. > :09:05.Scotland has voted to stay in the EU. I intend to discuss all options
:09:06. > :09:12.for doing so. I should say I have also spoken this
:09:13. > :09:15.morning with Mayor Sadiq Khan, he is clear he shares the objective for
:09:16. > :09:19.London, so there is a clear common cause between us. The discussions
:09:20. > :09:25.that take place over the coming days and weeks will be led by government
:09:26. > :09:30.but I seek the support and ensure the involvement of the Scottish
:09:31. > :09:33.Parliament each step of the way and intend to speak to all-party leaders
:09:34. > :09:38.today and to make a full statement to the chamber on Tuesday. Also to
:09:39. > :09:45.make a further statement following the meeting of the Scottish Cabinet.
:09:46. > :09:49.Lastly, let me address the issue of a second independence referendum -
:09:50. > :09:53.the manifesto that the SNP was elected on last month said this: The
:09:54. > :09:58.Scottish Parliament should have the right to hold another referendum. If
:09:59. > :10:02.there is a significant and a material change in the circumstances
:10:03. > :10:07.that prevailed in 2014, such as Scotland being taken out of the EU
:10:08. > :10:11.against our will. Scotland does now face that prospect. It is a
:10:12. > :10:14.significant and a material change in the circumstances and it is
:10:15. > :10:18.therefore a statement of the obvious, that the option of a second
:10:19. > :10:23.referendum must be on the table and it is on the table.
:10:24. > :10:28.Clearly, though, there are many discussions to be had before a final
:10:29. > :10:31.decision can be taken. It would not be right to rush to judgment ahead
:10:32. > :10:37.of discussions on how Scotland's result will be responded to by the
:10:38. > :10:42.EU. However, when the Article 50 process is triggered in three
:10:43. > :10:47.months' time, the UK will be on a two-year path to the EU exit door.
:10:48. > :10:51.If Parliament judges a second referendum is the best or the only
:10:52. > :10:55.way to protect our place in Europe, it must have the option to hold one
:10:56. > :11:00.within that timescale. That means we must act now to
:11:01. > :11:04.protect that position. I can therefore confirm today that
:11:05. > :11:09.in order to protect that position we will be begin to prepare the
:11:10. > :11:12.legislation that would be required to enable a new independence
:11:13. > :11:18.referendum to take place, if and when Parliament so decides.
:11:19. > :11:23.To conclude this, this is not a situation that I wanted Scotland or
:11:24. > :11:28.the UK to be in today. My responsibility in a climate of
:11:29. > :11:32.uncertainty, is to seek to lead us forward with purpose. I know that
:11:33. > :11:36.there is a lot of thinking and talking to be done in the period
:11:37. > :11:43.that lies ahead and before final decisions are taken. The issues that
:11:44. > :11:49.we face are complex. There are many people who voted against
:11:50. > :11:53.independence in 2014, who are today reassessing their decision. Indeed,
:11:54. > :11:57.a very large number of them have contacted me already.
:11:58. > :12:02.However, I know that they will not want me to simply assume their
:12:03. > :12:06.support or to hear me talk about the challenges that we face if they are
:12:07. > :12:11.straightforward, they will want me be to straight and honest with them.
:12:12. > :12:14.Now is the time for me as the First Minister to do everything I can to
:12:15. > :12:19.bring people together in common cause, and to seek to lead our
:12:20. > :12:24.country forward as one. The need to act decisively must be
:12:25. > :12:28.tempered with the need to build consensus, it will be, that is my
:12:29. > :12:32.duty as First Minister. After a campaign characterised in the rest
:12:33. > :12:37.of the UK by fear and hate, my priority in the days, the weeks and
:12:38. > :12:41.the months ahead are to act at all times in the best interests of
:12:42. > :12:48.Scotland, in a way that unites, not to divide us. Let me be clear about
:12:49. > :12:50.this, whatever apts as a result of this outcome, England, Wales and
:12:51. > :12:54.Northern Ireland will be Scotland's closest neighbours and our best
:12:55. > :13:01.friends, nothing will ever change that but I want to leave no-one in
:13:02. > :13:07.any doubt about this - I ham proud of Scotland and how we voted
:13:08. > :13:11.yesterday. We prove proved we are a modern, outward looking and open
:13:12. > :13:16.country, we said clearly we do not want to leave the European Union. I
:13:17. > :13:21.am determined that we will do what it takes to make sure that these
:13:22. > :13:26.aspirations are realised. In closing, let me just say a word
:13:27. > :13:33.or two about the Prime Minister, David Cameron and I have very many
:13:34. > :13:40.political disagreements, not least over the conduct of this referendum.
:13:41. > :13:43.But as I am learning, every single day, leadership is not easy. David
:13:44. > :13:50.has been the Prime Minister of the UK for six years, it is a tough job.
:13:51. > :13:54.Whatever our disagreements, he deserves our thanks for his service.
:13:55. > :14:02.I wish him and his family well for the future.
:14:03. > :14:06.These comments now, I am happy to take questions.
:14:07. > :14:09.What other options are available to you if not an independence
:14:10. > :14:13.referendum? I think the independence referendum is highly likely but I
:14:14. > :14:19.think it is important to take time to consider all the steps and to
:14:20. > :14:23.have the discussions, not least to assess the response of the European
:14:24. > :14:29.Union, to the vote that Scotland expressed yesterday.
:14:30. > :14:33.I am absolutely determined in my responsibility to give effect to how
:14:34. > :14:37.Scotland voted yesterday and it is important that I take all steps to
:14:38. > :14:44.ensure we explore the options to do that.
:14:45. > :14:51.If that independence referendum, that you say is highly likely, will
:14:52. > :14:56.about go ahead with or without the consent of Westminster? I think in
:14:57. > :15:01.the circumstances with the Scottish Parliament deciding -- if the
:15:02. > :15:06.Scottish Parliament decides that is an option they want exercising, I
:15:07. > :15:10.think it would be inconceivable that the UK Government would seek to
:15:11. > :15:14.stand in its way. But these are some of the discussions we would be
:15:15. > :15:19.seeking to have in some of the days and weeks ahead. Peter. Vote-macro
:15:20. > :15:25.you so you want Scotland to remain in the EU, and that you are likely
:15:26. > :15:30.to propose a referendum. The rest of the UK will be out of the EU; that
:15:31. > :15:37.must mean a proper, real border between Scotland and England.
:15:38. > :15:41.These are issues we have to consider calmly and rationally, that is why I
:15:42. > :15:45.have said very, very clearly today that I am not going to stand here
:15:46. > :15:50.and return to anybody that the issues we face are straightforward.
:15:51. > :15:54.We face very complicated issues which is another reason why in
:15:55. > :15:59.addition to being determined about giving effect to how Scotland voted,
:16:00. > :16:02.I am going to take the time to make sure that all of Scotland considers
:16:03. > :16:11.all these issues and has the chance to move forward as one. That is of
:16:12. > :16:15.the art most -- utmost importance. Are you confident that in the
:16:16. > :16:20.potential turmoil that could follow Brexit, those are circumstances that
:16:21. > :16:24.Scotland will want to vote for independence? Can I say, I don't
:16:25. > :16:28.want to see turmoil affecting any part of the United Kingdom. I
:16:29. > :16:33.believe the decision taken yesterday across the UK was the wrong
:16:34. > :16:38.decision, a mistake, but I hope very much that some of the that we had
:16:39. > :16:45.about it or not realised because it would not be in the interests of
:16:46. > :16:49.anybody in the UK they are. But I'm not sure that is not more in hope
:16:50. > :16:52.than expectation. But it is exactly because of the uncertainty and
:16:53. > :16:57.potential turmoil that we face that I think it is in my responsibility
:16:58. > :17:03.to seek to bring Scotland together, to lead Scotland forward, into a
:17:04. > :17:07.position that allows us to continue with the stability and certainty
:17:08. > :17:10.that membership of the EU gives us. I'm not saying these issues are
:17:11. > :17:16.straightforward, but I do think that is the responsibility and the
:17:17. > :17:20.opportunity that lies before us. Presumably you don't want to risk
:17:21. > :17:24.losing another referendum. You will call it when the polls tell you you
:17:25. > :17:29.are almost certain to win it. What level of support do you need at the
:17:30. > :17:32.are almost certain to win it. What polls? My guiding visible in every
:17:33. > :17:38.decision I take over the -- over these next few weeks will be what I
:17:39. > :17:44.consider to be in the best interests of Scotland. That is the
:17:45. > :17:52.responsibility and that is how I will guide every decision I take.
:17:53. > :17:56.You have just said that the vote shows Scotland is forward looking.
:17:57. > :18:01.Our England and Wales backward looking? This was a decision taken
:18:02. > :18:06.democratically after much consideration. It is a decision I
:18:07. > :18:10.deeply disagreed with, but I said during the campaign that I believed
:18:11. > :18:14.it was important to protect our position in the EU and in the wider
:18:15. > :18:18.world as an outward looking, inclusive country, I think that's
:18:19. > :18:24.what voted -- Scotland voted for yesterday. One more question.
:18:25. > :18:30.Article 50, your predecessor said he thinks it is crucial that you stage
:18:31. > :18:39.a second referendum within two to two and a half years, before the UK
:18:40. > :18:42.leads the EU. Do you agree with him? Parliament would have to have the
:18:43. > :18:47.opportunity to hold a referendum if Parliament decides to do that within
:18:48. > :18:51.the timescale triggered by an article 50 process, that is why I
:18:52. > :18:54.said today that we will begin the preparations to make sure that
:18:55. > :18:59.position is protected, obviously from the Scottish Parliament we know
:19:00. > :19:03.this from past experience, for the Scottish Parliament to have that
:19:04. > :19:06.ability to hold a referendum, a legislative process has to be
:19:07. > :19:16.undertaken, that takes time, and that is why that process to protect
:19:17. > :19:18.their position as to begin now otherwise that option may close down
:19:19. > :19:20.for the Scottish Parliament. Thank you very much for your attendance
:19:21. > :19:24.this morning. That was the First Minister Nicola
:19:25. > :19:25.Sturgeon, giving her reaction to the EU referendum vote.
:19:26. > :19:30.Our business and economy editor Douglas Fraser is here.
:19:31. > :19:46.We will be discussing some more of this in detail in just a minute.
:19:47. > :19:53.Andrew care is in Bute House. -- Andrew Kerr. It -- Nicola
:19:54. > :19:57.Sturgeon said it was highly likely a second referendum could take place,
:19:58. > :20:06.and she was saying -- suggesting she was preparing legislation for it to
:20:07. > :20:11.take place, saying that IndyRef to those on the table following that
:20:12. > :20:14.vote last night. This was a significant and material change in
:20:15. > :20:19.circumstances, it had been laid out in the SNP's manifesto, and in fact
:20:20. > :20:23.Alex Salmond had said it was quite certain that it should take place
:20:24. > :20:30.actually within two years of that Article 50 being put into place,
:20:31. > :20:35.essentially when the UK begins those negotiations to leave in the autumn,
:20:36. > :20:40.under a new Prime Minister, the UK has two years before it actually
:20:41. > :20:43.leaves the European Union, an independence referendum would
:20:44. > :20:47.probably have to take place within that time frame. Nicola Sturgeon was
:20:48. > :20:51.saying it was the wrong decision, and she was saying she wanted to
:20:52. > :20:53.play a role in uniting communities, and saying Europeans here in
:20:54. > :20:58.Scotland are of course very welcome. and saying Europeans here in
:20:59. > :21:05.Back to you in the studio. I'm joined now by Douglas Fraser.
:21:06. > :21:10.Douglas, a second independence referendum must be and is on the
:21:11. > :21:16.table? Yes, we are back again, it was said in September 2014
:21:17. > :21:22.Everything has changed utterly, well, it has changed utterly again.
:21:23. > :21:27.And partly, in Scotland -- in terms of Scotland, it is the momentum that
:21:28. > :21:30.came out of having lost the referendum that the pro-independence
:21:31. > :21:34.movement has kept the pressure on, it thinks it may have lost that
:21:35. > :21:38.battle but there is a war still to be one. And these are precisely the
:21:39. > :21:43.circumstances that have been talked about for quite some time, of
:21:44. > :21:47.Scotland decisively voting to stay within the EU, the rest of the UK,
:21:48. > :21:52.well, England and Wales and particularly, voting decisively it

:21:58. > :22:01.do not change, a lot of volatility in the market spot an awful lot is
:22:02. > :22:06.not changing straightaway. People are worried about the position for
:22:07. > :22:10.their travel abroad, people who are foreign nationals working in the UK,
:22:11. > :22:17.things don't change straightaway. But something to add here, a
:22:18. > :22:22.statement that's come through from the three institutions in Brussels
:22:23. > :22:26.which are the key institutions, the Commission, the Council of ministers
:22:27. > :22:31.and the parliament, regretting the decision. They want talks with the
:22:32. > :22:36.UK Government to start swiftly, however painful they might be. Any
:22:37. > :22:41.delay would unnecessarily prolonged uncertainty. Meanwhile, the UK
:22:42. > :22:46.remains a member of the EU, and they UK will always be a close partner,
:22:47. > :22:51.they add. But the pressure is coming from Brussels to say "Get on with
:22:52. > :22:56.this, we don't want to delay this because it creates uncertainty for
:22:57. > :22:59.us." And indeed there has been discussions and comment already from
:23:00. > :23:05.the Parliament in Berlin, about Scotland's position. The
:23:06. > :23:08.parliamentary leader either of the social Democrats saying that
:23:09. > :23:13.Scotland could not simply replace the UK position within the EU, but
:23:14. > :23:19.it would be warmly welcomed if it were independent. So all of this is
:23:20. > :23:25.no influx. And there are additional convocations, because the notion of
:23:26. > :23:30.risk which we've talked about ahead of the referendum in September 2014
:23:31. > :23:34.has changed significantly. -- additional convocations. There is
:23:35. > :23:39.now a risk to the economy for the UK, given that it is now negotiating
:23:40. > :23:46.this very significant constitutional change. There is an expectation that
:23:47. > :23:50.growth will fall very rapidly, we may be into recession, because
:23:51. > :23:55.investment confidence is likely to fall fairly fast, consumer
:23:56. > :24:00.confidence likewise. And they recession's not a good time to have
:24:01. > :24:04.a referendum, that's good -- got to be a thing in the mind of the
:24:05. > :24:10.Scottish Cabinet when it meets tomorrow. And the border, the Tweed
:24:11. > :24:20.and achieve Yates, if Scotland were to become independent, that becomes
:24:21. > :24:25.a border in the EU. -- Cheviots. So many repercussions, but many calls
:24:26. > :24:29.today for calm. Angela Merkel's just spoken of the need for calm,
:24:30. > :24:34.although she also said she regretted the vote. Nicola Sturgeon mentioned
:24:35. > :24:41.it as well, the need for business in particular in Scotland to carry on
:24:42. > :24:45.as normal. Yes, business was very clearly in favour of remain. Some
:24:46. > :24:50.voices were relieved, but the majority of opinion, particularly
:24:51. > :24:55.international trading business was in favour of remain, and they will
:24:56. > :24:59.be very unhappy. But they are almost all saying, well, we deal with
:25:00. > :25:04.change, we will have to address this. We can work our way through
:25:05. > :25:08.this, and we look to the governments, the institutions in
:25:09. > :25:13.Brussels, the Bank of England, to ensure that there is financial,
:25:14. > :25:17.monetary stability. And to give us the time to adapt. I mean,
:25:18. > :25:22.everybody's making the point that there is time, things do not have to
:25:23. > :25:33.be rushed, whatever pressure there is from Brussels to get on with
:25:34. > :25:38.this. What happens now, the dreaded question? Nicola Sturgeon has spoken
:25:39. > :25:44.of the -- of wanting to negotiate herself with Europe. Yes, and David
:25:45. > :25:47.Cameron said the devolved administrations in Edinburgh,
:25:48. > :25:52.Cardiff and Belfast will all play a significant part in the talks. Which
:25:53. > :25:58.was probably a wise thing to do in terms of placating the rest of the
:25:59. > :26:02.UK, and also leaving his successor a complication that David Cameron
:26:03. > :26:09.might himself not have been that happy with. But yes, they will enter
:26:10. > :26:12.into talks. It becomes an enormously complex negotiation between these
:26:13. > :26:17.different administrations, including London we are hearing of course, the
:26:18. > :26:21.new mayor wants to get involved as well, and 27 members of the EU and
:26:22. > :26:24.the institutions within Brussels, doing something that is
:26:25. > :26:29.do this before, with the added copy do this before, with the added copy
:26:30. > :26:35.-- convocation that Nicola Sturgeon sounds pretty determined to
:26:36. > :26:41.recognise the majority of Scots wanting to stay in the EU. -- the
:26:42. > :26:45.added complication. That creates a hairy -- a whole new debate to be
:26:46. > :26:50.had, she needs to create a new policy of what independence would
:26:51. > :26:55.now mean. She will need to draw up some kind of replacement for the
:26:56. > :26:57.White Paper, Scotland's people, that there was in 2014.
:26:58. > :27:01.There's continuing coverage of the referendum throughout the day.
:27:02. > :27:04.I'll be back with Reporting Scotland at the later time of 1.45.
:27:05. > :27:07.Until then from everyone on the team here in the studio in Glasgow
