:01:44. > :01:45.a further referendum appeared "all but inevitable."
:01:46. > :01:53.This from our political editor Brian Taylor.
:01:54. > :01:59.Theresa May spoke to Nicola Sturgeon before delivering her speech today,
:02:00. > :02:04.but she already knew the First Minister's terms. Nicola Sturgeon
:02:05. > :02:08.would be fairer second independence referendum if Britain stayed in the
:02:09. > :02:13.single market or helped Scotland stay at a special deal. To
:02:14. > :02:19.strengthen the precious union between the four nations of the
:02:20. > :02:24.United Kingdom. The Prime Minister categorically ruled out option one -
:02:25. > :02:27.Britain would not hold onto bits of EU membership will stop what I am
:02:28. > :02:32.proposing cannot mean membership of the single market. So, downfall
:02:33. > :02:38.sturgeon option one. What about option two, a special deal for
:02:39. > :02:41.Scotland? Theresa May said she would consider a plan put forward by the
:02:42. > :02:45.Scottish Government, but there are clear limits. We won't agree on
:02:46. > :02:50.everything, but I look forward to working with the administration 's
:02:51. > :02:52.in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to deliver a Brexit that
:02:53. > :02:57.works for the whole of the United Kingdom. As we do so, our guiding
:02:58. > :03:03.principle must be to ensure that as we leave the EU, no new barriers to
:03:04. > :03:07.living in doing business within our own union are created. Nicola
:03:08. > :03:12.Sturgeon concedes that doesn't sound like a special deal for Scotland is
:03:13. > :03:17.on, but she says she will persist, arguing that Theresa May's overall
:03:18. > :03:22.approach is wrong. It is clear that Theresa May wants to take the UK
:03:23. > :03:26.after a hard Brexit cliff edge. The direction she set the day has not
:03:27. > :03:29.been driven by the rational best interests of the country. It's clear
:03:30. > :03:35.it has been driven by the obsessions of Ukip and the hard right of our
:03:36. > :03:40.own party. Given what you say, does it bring an independence referendum
:03:41. > :03:44.closer? Yes, undoubtedly. I said on the 24th of June that I thought it
:03:45. > :03:50.was highly likely. I have tried to compromise ever since, I put forward
:03:51. > :03:52.options in line with what I I would do, examined the options, and I
:03:53. > :03:55.remain committed to exhausting those, but I am not prepared to
:03:56. > :04:00.allow Scotland's interests simply to those, but I am not prepared to
:04:01. > :04:05.be cast aside. Does it make a second independence referendum all but
:04:06. > :04:10.inevitable? Well, I... I think that is very likely the case. What I have
:04:11. > :04:17.heard today from the Prime Minister is an inability to engage in
:04:18. > :04:21.discussions that further compromise. There comes a point of democratic
:04:22. > :04:25.principle, I think, and that is that if there is going to be such a
:04:26. > :04:29.fundamental change to the kind of country we are going to be, and
:04:30. > :04:33.we're looking as if we're going to be taken down a path that wasn't
:04:34. > :04:37.what was contemplated in 2014, then it may be that the Scottish people
:04:38. > :04:41.want to do that, but they shouldn't be forced to do that without having
:04:42. > :04:47.the ability to choose between that and what I would think is a future.
:04:48. > :04:52.But more bargaining to come first, and that Hollywood tonight, MSPs
:04:53. > :04:53.voted to endorse ministerial efforts to preserve Scotland's plays in the
:04:54. > :04:55.single market. To try to make sense
:04:56. > :04:58.of where this leaves us, I'm joined now by Brian at Holyrood,
:04:59. > :05:01.David Porter is in Westminster, and our Business and Economy
:05:02. > :05:08.editor Douglas Fraser First, Brian, the rhetoric has been
:05:09. > :05:12.ramped up about a second referendum at every stage of this Brexit debate
:05:13. > :05:23.- is it really all but inevitable? That is the phrase I put her, and
:05:24. > :05:30.she agreed with it. You know what, I That is the phrase I put her, and
:05:31. > :05:35.really do think it is looking that way. Left in peace, Nicola Sturgeon
:05:36. > :05:37.I don't think would be contemplating an independence referendum at this
:05:38. > :05:43.stage, but Brexit changes everything. Just as Theresa May. She
:05:44. > :05:47.supported the European single market, not least in the most recent
:05:48. > :05:52.Conservative manifesto, but now sounds assured in saying there could
:05:53. > :05:55.be advantages to a global route. Today, we saw a fundamental
:05:56. > :06:03.division, if you like, in Scottish and UK politics. If you can't -- if
:06:04. > :06:07.you support the Conservatives, Theresa May is saying, we listen to
:06:08. > :06:09.the people and a chair. Nationalists will say, which people?
:06:10. > :06:11.David, how likely is this renewed talk of an independence referendum
:06:12. > :06:22.Jackie, I think the short answer is, no, it will not. UK ministers and
:06:23. > :06:30.Theresa May herself are at pains to say they want to involve and engage
:06:31. > :06:32.with Eddie both administrations as the Brexit negotiations get
:06:33. > :06:35.underway, and they want to hear what the Scottish Government has the
:06:36. > :06:43.same. Listening to someone is not the same as saying you agree. Before
:06:44. > :06:45.her speech this morning, Theresa May spoke on the phone to Nicola
:06:46. > :06:48.Sturgeon and would have been perfectly aware of the First
:06:49. > :06:52.Minister's reaction when Theresa May will have told our it was her
:06:53. > :06:56.intention that she was going to leave the single market. The view
:06:57. > :06:59.from Downing Street is that talk of a second independence referendum is
:07:00. > :07:07.a distraction. They say it was all sorted out in 2014, and now we are
:07:08. > :07:11.in 2017, moving towards Brexit, and they argue that the decision to
:07:12. > :07:15.leave the European Union was taken by the whole of the UK. Therefore,
:07:16. > :07:16.it will be sorted out by the whole of the UK as well.
:07:17. > :07:20.Douglas, what has business been making of today's
:07:21. > :07:34.We have been told that Brexit means uncertainty. Businesses after more
:07:35. > :07:39.clarity about what a Brexit could look like. They have got that today,
:07:40. > :07:43.more of it than they expected from today's prime ministerial speech.
:07:44. > :07:48.They also wanted, certainly exporting businesses, to retain
:07:49. > :07:51.access to the single market, or at least a customs union, access to
:07:52. > :07:55.recruit workers from elsewhere in Europe. They haven't got any of
:07:56. > :08:00.that, but they have heard the Prime Minister set out plans for what she
:08:01. > :08:03.thinks could be at least as good, acknowledging their concerns, and
:08:04. > :08:06.other deals been struck with countries around the world. There
:08:07. > :08:10.was some scepticism about how much of that can be achieved through
:08:11. > :08:13.negotiation. This is a starting point of what Theresa May would like
:08:14. > :08:18.overtime. The other question is, how fast can this be achieved? That is
:08:19. > :08:23.the main concern, that there is a cliff edge, that after two years of
:08:24. > :08:29.negotiation we go over the edge. They want plans in place soon, and
:08:30. > :08:35.that is their main concern. They could seek out opportunities under a
:08:36. > :08:39.new regime. They have clarity, but in Scotland, they have another
:08:40. > :08:42.concern, because if we are moving towards another independence
:08:43. > :08:46.referendum in Scotland, there was less clarity for those that operate
:08:47. > :08:49.in Scotland. Douglas, thank you. And thank you to David and Brian.

:09:47. > :09:53.she was incapable of consenting because of her alcohol consumption.
:09:54. > :09:57.The judge found her to be cogent, and compelling. In a statement,
:09:58. > :10:02.Denise Claire said she is delighted but feels let down by a justice
:10:03. > :10:06.system that dropped the criminal case last year. The Crown Office
:10:07. > :10:10.says there was not sufficient evidence for a criminal prosecution.
:10:11. > :10:14.Experts say the threshold is different. If the Crown are going to
:10:15. > :10:19.take a case forward, they have to ask the question, have we got enough
:10:20. > :10:26.evidence to prove to a jury beyond reasonable doubt that this happened?
:10:27. > :10:31.The other option is our balance of probabilities, so it is not the same
:10:32. > :10:35.question being asked. Experts say that today's result could lead to
:10:36. > :10:41.far more victims of rape coming forward. We know that most rape
:10:42. > :10:43.cases reported to the police never come to court, which can be
:10:44. > :10:47.devastating for the person reporting the crime. This gives another
:10:48. > :10:52.option. It is the first civil case in living memory for rape will stop
:10:53. > :10:55.I think people will see this case anything, there is another way that
:10:56. > :11:00.I can get justice and validation that what happened to me was raped
:11:01. > :11:04.and was wrong. Goodwillie currently plays for Plymouth Argyle, and
:11:05. > :11:07.Robertson for Cowdenbeath. Both clubs said today they are examining

:14:15. > :14:17."eye-opening" accounts of unclear guidance and mistakes
:14:18. > :14:21.in exam papers. The agency is promising
:14:22. > :14:24.improvements. Here's our education
:14:25. > :14:37.correspondent, Jamie McIvor. It was the biggest story to come out
:14:38. > :14:40.of the exam results for years. Tonight, it has emerged that the new
:14:41. > :14:45.higher maths exam was so difficult that the pass mark was love to 34%.
:14:46. > :14:54.A badly misjudged exam, adding to the worries some teachers had about
:14:55. > :15:00.the SQA. -- the pass mark was lowered to 34%. They have to make
:15:01. > :15:03.sure that things are smooth, transparent and easy to the
:15:04. > :15:05.teachers. At the end of the day, we are here to help the teachers to
:15:06. > :15:11.help the children, and to make sure it is easy for teachers to get the
:15:12. > :15:14.information they require. The SQA oversaw a shake-up to
:15:15. > :15:18.qualifications, most of which went smoothly, but there were big
:15:19. > :15:23.concerns - bureaucracy, workload and other mistakes, such as problems in
:15:24. > :15:26.a computing exam last year. We are pleased that the committee has
:15:27. > :15:30.recognised a very real pressure that schools, teachers and pupils have
:15:31. > :15:35.been under in the last few years with the changes to qualifications.
:15:36. > :15:39.We hope that their voice being added to the pressure will see some change
:15:40. > :15:44.moving forward. The committee wants improvements in the way the SQA
:15:45. > :15:52.communicates with teachers, and fresh efforts to avoid problems with
:15:53. > :15:55.exam questions. We offered the SQA the opportunity to be interviewed
:15:56. > :15:58.today, but they declined. They pointed us to a statement they
:15:59. > :16:00.already get, in which they say they will study the committee's

:17:15. > :17:18.policy. This tram... The latest extension to Nottingham's tram
:17:19. > :17:24.network opened last year and it's being paid for by car drivers.
:17:25. > :17:30.Drivers like Tim, whose business is charged almost ?400 for each parking
:17:31. > :17:34.space. Some firms passed the levy on to drivers. Others, like this

:17:39. > :17:42.being anti-car and cities who are think there is a danger of cities
:17:43. > :17:49.not anti-car I think will have an edge. We like our cars. The
:17:50. > :17:52.Workplace Parking Levy is almost universally disliked by the
:17:53. > :17:57.businesses which pay it and, in some areas, it's creating problems which
:17:58. > :18:03.didn't exist, as drivers park on the roadside instead of the car park.
:18:04. > :18:06.Tomorrow is our meeting... John Townsend runs a firm which doesn't
:18:07. > :18:11.have any spaces. He found it to be such of a problem he moved part of
:18:12. > :18:15.his business out of Nottingham. People who work for larger
:18:16. > :18:18.companies, who don't want to pay the levy, have parked here. People who
:18:19. > :18:22.run businesses take up the spaces early in the morning. By the time my
:18:23. > :18:27.staff get here there is absolutely nowhere to park at all. The levy
:18:28. > :18:32.raced more than ?34 million in revenue in the first four years of

:18:47. > :18:50.approach. It's certainly about providing good options for people
:18:51. > :18:54.that are not just simply using their cars, but I think it's about
:18:55. > :18:59.recognising that in a inner city, not just now, in 10 years, 20 years
:19:00. > :19:04.or 30 years time you have to put a premium on car usage and car parking
:19:05. > :19:10.spaces. If you don't do that you end up with a gridlocked city. The

:21:06. > :21:10.had an amazing time. We are moving some of our other projects to
:21:11. > :21:15.Scotland because of our - how much we enjoyed working here. That, say

:21:23. > :21:26.They come for lots of specific things. They are staying and they
:21:27. > :21:32.are doing more and we have some big films coming in this year, but you
:21:33. > :21:37.know that would be the norm, not the exception, if we had a proper
:21:38. > :21:43.industry-sized stage to retain those projects here. As for Karen, whose
:21:44. > :21:51.career began as Doctor Who's assistant, Amelia Pond, it's set to
:21:52. > :21:55.be a busy year with three films in the can and she will bring back her
:21:56. > :21:59.character Nebula, which will be the can and she will bring back her

:22:08. > :22:12.hope so. I fear it will be sod's law but it will happen in Atlanta where
:22:13. > :22:16.the rest of the filming is happening. We'll see.

:22:36. > :22:40.12 years would be leaving them. Nothing is for ever, you know, when
:22:41. > :22:43.you work in sport and when you are coach. That is eventually what is
:22:44. > :22:51.going to happen. I think this is a good way of ending. I think it's
:22:52. > :22:55.also good opportunity for me, too. To continue with another job. The
:22:56. > :22:59.women's game in Scotland looks very different since Signeul first
:23:00. > :23:03.arrived in 2005. She has played a key role in introducing an Academy
:23:04. > :23:07.system to support the development of talented players. The former
:23:08. > :23:14.Scotland skipper, Julie Fleeting, was one of the first to welcome
:23:15. > :23:19.Signeul when she arrived? 12 years ago, as a player, you trained twice
:23:20. > :23:22.a week and played your game on a under is. There wasn't a great deal
:23:23. > :23:26.of focus on how you lived your life away from football.
:23:27. > :23:30.COMMENTATOR: Thought required from Signeul. Signeul inherited a team
:23:31. > :23:34.with a poor international record, but she refused to turn her back on
:23:35. > :23:38.the long game. She developed her squad and in the autumn Scotland
:23:39. > :23:44.qualified for their first major torn wment this victory over Iceland. Now
:23:45. > :23:47.in Cyprus, they face a friendly double-header against Denmark.
:23:48. > :23:49.Signeul says she is determined her announcement to leave for Finland
:23:50. > :23:56.will not impact their preparations. You may have heard of Mack the Knife
:23:57. > :24:00.? well, meet Macie the knife. Macie is a 15-week-old Staffordshire
:24:01. > :24:02.bull terrier who swallowed a large kitchen knife and lived
:24:03. > :24:05.to tell the tale. The Pdsa who treated her say it's
:24:06. > :24:08.not unusual for dogs to eat all sorts of objects they shouldn't,
:24:09. > :24:22.but this case is among the most Macie a 15-year-old old staffy was
:24:23. > :24:26.looking for treats today. Late one night in December, her owner thought
:24:27. > :24:30.this playful pup was shoebg choking on a toy. I thought there was
:24:31. > :24:35.something in her throat. I thought she was oaking on the part, the
:24:36. > :24:39.squeezy part of the toy. She made a choking sound - like, this squeal
:24:40. > :24:46.came. I knew something was hurting her. That's how I phoned the vet.
:24:47. > :24:50.X-rays clearly showed up it wasn't a toy she had swallowed but an eight
:24:51. > :24:54.inch kitchen knife. I was absolutely shocked. Shocked. I couldn't believe
:24:55. > :24:59.that she'd managed to swallow an entire knife. It was a knife I used
:25:00. > :25:05.to peel the potatoes I don't know how she managed to get it out of the
:25:06. > :25:09.dish water because it has a black plastic handle which the vet said
:25:10. > :25:14.would have been appealing to her. The Pdsa who took care of her said
:25:15. > :25:18.it's an amazing case and she's a lucky dog. If it had been the
:25:19. > :25:22.opposite way round and it had been this end first, it would have been
:25:23. > :25:27.fatal. She wouldn't be here to tell the tale. The only sign of the
:25:28. > :25:33.puppy's trauma is the scar where vets operated to remove the knife.
:25:34. > :25:41.I'm so thankful that she's actually... Survived. Macie is not
:25:42. > :25:46.the only dog who is curious about what is in the dish washer. As this
:25:47. > :25:57.family found out, that can be very dangerous indeed. Let's get the
:25:58. > :26:01.weather now from Christopher. If you are in the west the forecast may be
:26:02. > :26:04.difficult to swallow over the next few minutes! Sorry. It will be
:26:05. > :26:08.cloudy across most of the west of the country over the next few days.
:26:09. > :26:13.Fairly gloomy at times as well. High pressure in charge keeping things
:26:14. > :26:17.cloudy, mostly dry and also milded with that south-westerly. Some
:26:18. > :26:24.sunshine today across the north-east and the east in general. That will
:26:25. > :26:27.continue tomorrow. For many, fairly ledden skies. Tonight largely dry,
:26:28. > :26:31.cloudy and mostly mild. Here is the chart, there are a few spots of
:26:32. > :26:35.light rain or drizzle in the west and north-west where the cloud is
:26:36. > :26:38.thickest. Murk around the south-west and across the north-east, here some
:26:39. > :26:42.clear spells. Temperatures falling away. A touch of frost. For many, no
:26:43. > :26:46.lower than around Steven or eight overnight. It will be windy for
:26:47. > :26:52.Shetland. Elsewhere the winds will be light. Tomorrow morning a breezy
:26:53. > :26:58.start to the far north, the Western Isles and the northern isle Seb. The
:26:59. > :27:03.best of the sunshine across the north-east. By mid afternoon, around
:27:04. > :27:07.3.00pm, largely dry and cloudy across most of central and southern
:27:08. > :27:11.Scotland, nine maybe ten Celsius. Winds light. Brighter moments to
:27:12. > :27:17.East Lothian in towards the eastern borders. Further north, more
:27:18. > :27:20.guaranteed through Angus, Aberdeenshire in towards Inverness
:27:21. > :27:24.shire. Elsewhere fairly cloudy and a few spots of rain most likely up
:27:25. > :27:27.towards Shetland. The winds will continue to ease through the course
:27:28. > :27:30.of the day. Little change as we head through the rest of Wednesday in
:27:31. > :27:36.towards Wednesday night. Come Thursday, we do it all again. It's
:27:37. > :27:42.mostly cloudy, mostly dry and mostly mild. Where the cloud is thickest,
:27:43. > :27:46.light drizzle. Something brighter to the west. That is because, come
:27:47. > :27:51.Friday, we still have high pressure and the winds around it in a
:27:52. > :27:55.clock-wise motion, we are dragging in colder, but dryer air. It travels
:27:56. > :27:58.around the high and hopefully that means across western parts should be
:27:59. > :28:01.a little brighter by Friday. That's the forecast for now. . it Thank you
:28:02. > :28:06.very much. That's all from us. Goodbye.
