:01:49. > :01:55.message we expect to hear with as much unity as possible from inside
:01:56. > :01:58.that Parliament. Yes, but how? Inside the corridors of devolved
:01:59. > :02:04.power, Nicola Sturgeon is searching for answers. She said of Scotland
:02:05. > :02:10.could maintain you links, it could build an economic lead over the rest
:02:11. > :02:12.of the UK -- if it could maintain EU links. It is my intention to

:02:17. > :02:21.for Scotland. If Scotland does find a way to maintain a relationship
:02:22. > :02:23.with the EU, as I am determined we will, Scotland will become an even
:02:24. > :02:29.more attractive place to do business. The First Minister has
:02:30. > :02:33.asked the principle of Glasgow University to head an expert panel
:02:34. > :02:37.seeking ideas for sustaining EU links. Ms Sturgeon said today's
:02:38. > :02:43.debate was emphatically not about independence. But the Tories scented
:02:44. > :02:47.an emerging threat to another union, that of the UK. You do not dampen
:02:48. > :02:51.the shock waves caused by one referendum by lighting the fuse for
:02:52. > :02:54.another menorah by saying that the economic impact of leaving one union
:02:55. > :02:58.means you should sever ties with a greater union whose value to trade
:02:59. > :03:05.eclipses the former money times over. And Leave supporter Oliver
:03:06. > :03:08.Mundell went further. Behind the seemingly good intentions lie is a
:03:09. > :03:14.deliberate malice. If they were serious about building consensus and
:03:15. > :03:18.negotiating in good faith, they would have taken a second referendum
:03:19. > :03:24.off the table. In turn, Willie Rennie attacked the Tories. He said
:03:25. > :03:28.hard-working families would suffer. It is ordinary people on low and
:03:29. > :03:35.modest incomes who will lose. These are the victims of this crisis.
:03:36. > :03:38.Labour's Kezia Dugdale tried to understand why people voted Leave
:03:39. > :03:44.while condemning the leaders of that campaign. The Leave campaign
:03:45. > :03:51.contained some of the worst dog whistle racism and xenophobia I have
:03:52. > :04:01.heard in my life. But that does not make every Leave voter a xenophobe,
:04:02. > :04:06.or a right-winger. Yes, 92, no, zero, and 31 abstentions. The motion
:04:07. > :04:09.is therefore agreed. In the vote, Nicola Sturgeon secured her mandate
:04:10. > :04:10.to open direct talks with the EU, with only the Conservatives
:04:11. > :04:13.abstained in. Nicola Sturgeon will be in Brussels
:04:14. > :04:15.tomorrow to meet officials and canvass support for her case
:04:16. > :04:18.to keep Scotland within the EU. There was plenty of goodwill

:04:24. > :04:32.Campbell reports from Brussels. Coming together to work out how best
:04:33. > :04:37.to part. As David Cameron arrived in Brussels for Brexit talks with EU
:04:38. > :04:40.leaders, the European Parliament was debating the UK's decision to
:04:41. > :04:44.withdraw, with one Scottish representative highlighting the
:04:45. > :04:51.Remain vote in Scotland and appealing to MEPs for help to
:04:52. > :04:55.maintain Scotland's EU links. Colleagues, there are a lot of
:04:56. > :05:00.things to be negotiated. We will need cool head and warm hearts. But
:05:01. > :05:16.please, remember this. Scotland did not let you down. Please, I beg you,
:05:17. > :05:20.do not let Scotland down now. And outside the chamber, this former
:05:21. > :05:26.Belgian Prime Minister who is meeting Nicola Sturgeon tomorrow
:05:27. > :05:30.backed continuing EU membership for Scotland if it votes for
:05:31. > :05:33.independence. If they decide to be independent, they decide to be
:05:34. > :05:39.independent. And if they want to stay in the European Union, they
:05:40. > :05:45.can. It is their decision. Stay in, without having to join a queue to
:05:46. > :05:50.get in? Yeah. They are in for the moment, so there is no problem on
:05:51. > :05:54.that side. But this analyst who is now advising the Scottish Government
:05:55. > :05:58.on Brexit thinks some EU member states would be nervous about
:05:59. > :06:03.Scottish independence. Especially a country like Spain, with a
:06:04. > :06:10.secessionist movement in Catalonia and the Basque country, but also in
:06:11. > :06:13.other countries around Europe, where you have regions which at least have
:06:14. > :06:19.a tendency towards secession, for example, Belgium. The First Minister
:06:20. > :06:24.has made clear she is prepared to explore all options to protect
:06:25. > :06:26.Scotland's relationship with the European Union, including
:06:27. > :06:31.independence. She is seeking direct talks with the governments and
:06:32. > :06:35.institutions of the EU, and they will begin here in Brussels
:06:36. > :06:36.tomorrow, when Nicola Sturgeon comes to the parliament to meet its
:06:37. > :06:39.president, amongst others. I'm joined by our political
:06:40. > :06:43.editor Brian Taylor. Brian, while the EU aftermath
:06:44. > :06:46.is raging across the UK, it seems the situation
:06:47. > :06:48.is even more complex here, as it's enmeshed with
:06:49. > :07:01.the independence debate? It is. And to use the phrase that
:07:02. > :07:04.Nicola Sturgeon has been using, it is on the table. It remains on the
:07:05. > :07:08.table alongside whatever alternatives can be devised, either
:07:09. > :07:12.by Nicola Sturgeon's new expert group, or in direct talks with
:07:13. > :07:17.European institution or perhaps in cohort with the UK Government. I
:07:18. > :07:22.have spoken to a lot of people today in Holyrood in parliamentary
:07:23. > :07:28.positions and also within government, and I find very few who
:07:29. > :07:30.think that anything short of an independence referendum and ultimate
:07:31. > :07:32.think that anything short of an independence can secure the goals
:07:33. > :07:36.that Nicola Sturgeon has. She doesn't just want a vague
:07:37. > :07:41.association with the European Union, she wants to be in the European
:07:42. > :07:48.Union. What does she hope to achieve in Brussels tomorrow? It is very
:07:49. > :07:59.early days. At this stage, she says what she is hoping to do is simply
:08:00. > :08:03.to alert European leaders and put on their radar the fact that Scotland
:08:04. > :08:09.voted yes and wants to stay. She simply wants to emphasise that at
:08:10. > :08:15.this date and then move on to prolonged negotiations. She seeing
:08:16. > :08:18.the parliament's resident tomorrow. The president of the Council, Donald
:08:19. > :08:23.Tusk, has said he has no time tomorrow to see her. At this point,
:08:24. > :08:33.it is simply flagging up the point that Scotland voted yes and wants to
:08:34. > :08:34.stay in. At Westminster, the turmoil continues.

:08:48. > :08:50.this job around the same time that Jeremy Corbyn was elected the UK
:08:51. > :08:57.Labour leader. We have a similar mandate. If I had just lost 80% of
:08:58. > :09:01.my parliamentary colleagues, I simply could not do my job. I think
:09:02. > :09:02.it is now extremely difficult for Jeremy Corbyn to continue.
:09:03. > :09:04.Our correspondent David Porter is at Westminster.
:09:05. > :09:10.Physically and metaphorically, the pressure on Jeremy Corbyn?
:09:11. > :09:15.Physically and metaphorically, the storm clouds are gathering here at
:09:16. > :09:19.Westminster this evening, and in particular for Jeremy Corbyn. Those
:09:20. > :09:24.comments by Kezia Dugdale mean that she is the most senior Labour
:09:25. > :09:28.elected figure to publicly question whether Mr Corbyn can continue to do
:09:29. > :09:33.his job. Those comments by Kezia Dugdale were prompted by a vote at

:09:53. > :09:56.a challenge to him is inevitable. In the last couple of days, 40 or 50 of
:09:57. > :10:02.his front bench team have resigned. As far as Labour MPs are concerned,
:10:03. > :10:08.and it now seems a growing number of MSPs, he is unelectable and he is

:11:01. > :11:04.of tension, some survivors believing that its remit isn't wide enough.
:11:05. > :11:07.Today, we have had more trouble. A member of the independent panel,
:11:08. > :11:13.Professor Michael Lamb from the university of Cambridge, has
:11:14. > :11:16.resigned. He did so in a letter to the Education Secretary, John
:11:17. > :11:22.Sweeney. He accuses the Scottish Government of interfering, of
:11:23. > :11:27.delaying the opponent of staff and of questioning a supposedly
:11:28. > :11:30.independent panel. He says the Scottish Government's actions have

:11:44. > :11:47.comments. They say their primary focus is on supporting the inquiry,
:11:48. > :11:50.and they say that survivors have been invited to a ministerial

:13:28. > :13:31.the council have acted. They need to get in touch with the parents who
:13:32. > :13:36.are affected by this. They need to start answering the questions that
:13:37. > :13:40.have now been opened up, more by the result of the report. Yesterday, the
:13:41. > :13:43.council's chief executive Angela Scott offered an apology, but
:13:44. > :13:50.refused to answer the many questions still hanging. How complicit was the
:13:51. > :13:54.authority in the cover-up? Why weren't practices investigated
:13:55. > :14:00.fully? Why have parents been left so alone? The national investigation
:14:01. > :14:04.followed the scandal at the Morton whole cemetery near Edinburgh, where
:14:05. > :14:09.babies' ashes were scattered without their parents' knowledge. The report
:14:10. > :14:14.focused on 14 crematoria across Scotland, but Aberdeen was by far
:14:15. > :14:19.the worst. And this lawyer says their handling of parents' grief has
:14:20. > :14:22.been equally shocking. It is an entirely different attitude that
:14:23. > :14:26.Aberdeen City Council have taken to other councils and crematoria we are
:14:27. > :14:31.working with. They have taken a very shut down, drawbridge up, closed
:14:32. > :14:33.approach, which shows no empathy to our clients. We have tried again
:14:34. > :14:36.today to speak to the chief our clients. We have tried again
:14:37. > :14:42.executive of Aberdeen City Council, but were told she was out of town.
:14:43. > :14:47.Her predecessor, Valerie Watts, who now works in Northern Ireland, has
:14:48. > :14:52.not returned our calls. The elected leader says the chief executive
:14:53. > :14:57.enjoys her full confidence. She's also declined requests to speak to
:14:58. > :15:01.us. Under mounting pressure, the chief executive will face
:15:02. > :15:10.councillors tomorrow, after which we are told she will finally take
:15:11. > :15:17.questions. The Education Secretary has announced a radical plan for
:15:18. > :15:20.Scotland's schools, including national assessments for primary
:15:21. > :15:24.pupils. He said he would also be sending inspectors into every
:15:25. > :15:29.Scottish local authority to ensure improvements are made. Our political
:15:30. > :15:37.correspondent joins us now from Holyrood. How has this gone down?
:15:38. > :15:42.This was a nuanced speech, but it is essentially a power grab. He is
:15:43. > :15:46.talking about sending inspectors into each of Scotland's 32 local
:15:47. > :15:51.authorities. The new ones behind that seems to be that what you have
:15:52. > :15:55.done so far on your watch in terms of managing schools has not been
:15:56. > :16:01.good enough. There is a sweetener for teachers in that he talks about
:16:02. > :16:04.reducing paperwork and bureaucracy. But he also says they will plough on
:16:05. > :16:10.with national assessment, despite the threat of industrial action
:16:11. > :16:12.potentially from those teachers who are concerned that this will lead to
:16:13. > :16:17.potentially from those teachers who targets and league tables across
:16:18. > :16:20.schools. What we can expect from local authorities is that they will
:16:21. > :16:25.not be happy about this. Education falls within their remit, but the
:16:26. > :16:28.Scottish Government is saying that Scotland currently has an education
:16:29. > :16:32.gap in terms of the attainment of those from poorer areas as compared
:16:33. > :16:37.to those from wealthier areas. They say this is not acceptable. But
:16:38. > :16:40.Swinney said things are out of kilter. They looked at examples from
:16:41. > :16:45.across the world including schools in New York, where schools, parents
:16:46. > :16:52.and teachers are far more involved in the overall process. And that is
:16:53. > :16:56.something they are keen to use in Scotland. But the local authorities,
:16:57. > :17:02.this will not go down well and formerly in the education units,
:17:03. > :17:02.there will still be concerned about national assessment across the
:17:03. > :17:12.country. attention is inevitably turning
:17:13. > :17:15.to the role of the Scots Among the horrendous casualties,
:17:16. > :17:18.one Scottish division suffered the greatest losses -
:17:19. > :17:20.yet most of its men didn't even They were the men of

:17:50. > :17:54.the 4,000 men who joined the Tyneside Scottish was sent over the
:17:55. > :17:59.top in the Battle of the Somme. It was a disaster. 60,000 men killed in
:18:00. > :18:02.a day. The Scottish division suffered more casualties than any
:18:03. > :18:08.other, well over half their strength killed, injured or missing. Today,
:18:09. > :18:12.it is these cadets in Newcastle carrying the name of the Tyneside
:18:13. > :18:18.Scottish, a golden thread linking them to the men who fought at the
:18:19. > :18:22.Somme. Of all the volunteer battalions raised as part of Lord
:18:23. > :18:27.Kitchener's new army, only the Tyneside Scottish retained its name
