:00:28. > :00:43.They have met before, but this time the First Minister
:00:44. > :00:47.wants the EU commission president to know she is prepared to consider
:00:48. > :00:49.all options to maintain Scotland's relationship with the EU
:00:50. > :00:59.But by the time of their meeting, the Spanish Prime Minister had

:02:13. > :02:15.Of course, but we are at the very early stage of the process,
:02:16. > :02:19.and we will have to work our way through this, but we are not yet
:02:20. > :02:22.a week on from the referendum, and in this early stage my priority
