Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The First Minister says fundamental issues about Scotland's future have | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
been raised by the Supreme Court ruling, that Holyrood does not need | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The court found that MPs should have a say | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
on triggering Article 50 - but ministers are not legally | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
compelled to seek approval from the devolved administrations. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
In a moment we'll ask whether this takes us closer to a second | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
But first, our Westminster correspondent Nick Eardley has this | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Time to find out who has the power to fire the starting gun on Brexit. | :00:35. | :00:49. | |
This morning, all eyes were on the Supreme Court as it delivered a | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
landmark ruling on the legal basis for triggering Article 50. By a | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
majority 8-3, the Supreme Court rules that the government cannot | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
trigger Article 50 without an act of Parliament authorising it to do so. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
On the devolution issues, the court unanimously rules that UK ministers | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
are not legally compelled to consult the devolved legislatures before | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
triggering Article 50. This case was never Brexit whether that read about | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
whether Brexit happens, but how. The Prime Minister showed last week pass | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
towards the hardest of hard Brexit is. I do believe there is a majority | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
for that in the House of Commons, and certainly not across the | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
country. This is an opportunity for a House of Commons to assert itself | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
and have a say, but not just on the narrow question, but the board are | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
of negotiation as well. The Scottish parliament will still vote on | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
article 54 political pressure still matters. Legally, it will be in | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Westminster that they all have joined a shredder and article -- on | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
Article 50. We will within days introduce legislation to give the | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
government legal power to trigger Article 50 and begin the formal | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
process of withdrawal. Other parties won't make that simple. The SNP | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
wants unanimous agreement from devolved governments. Without that, | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
it will vote against Article 50. Scotland's Labour MP says he's | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
prepared to vote against the government, too. The Labour leader | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
says his party will... Support Article 50 being triggered, we have | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
made that clear. That is a result of the referendum we have to respect | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
that. It doesn't mean we have deep debt and we abdicate the field, it | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
means we pressure on the long-term direction this country wants to go. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
This implies that the process will be backed. With your depth possibly | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
voting against two, it means just perhaps one of Scotland's MPs will | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
vote for. I believe the people of Scotland want the two governments to | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
work together and get on with ensuring we can negotiate with a 27 | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
other countries that best possible deal for leaving the EU. The UK | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Government hopes it can get approval to start the process, and quickly. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
The legal questions over Article 50 are over. It's back to politics. And | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
that politics continues this week. It is expected on Thursday that the | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
government will publish the legislation it hopes will allow it | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
to trigger Article 50. It then hopes that it can get that through the | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
House of Commons within a fortnight. As we have heard, there will be | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
amendments. The SNP alone say they could table up to 50, Labour and the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
S agree the UK Government needs to provide more detail. Whatever | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
happens in the building behind me, the tensions between the Scottish | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Government and UK Government -- and the SNP. Over Brexit show no signs | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
of abating. We are still at the start of the process of finding out | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
what the ramifications of a Brexit vote are. And what the future holds. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
The First Minister has repeatedly warned that a second independence | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Andrew Black has been trying to find out. | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
Just before the last Westminster election, Nicola Sturgeon revealed | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
what it might take to call a second independence referendum. I don't | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
know. Perhaps if the Tories wanted to drag is out of the European Union | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
against our will, for example. APPLAUSE | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
After most of Scotland voted to stay in the EU, she said this... I think | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
an independence referendum is now highly likely. She then said that | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
staying in the single market would remove the short-term prospect of a | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
second independence referendum. If we can find a way of protecting | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Scotland's economic interest, protecting our democratic interest | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
within the UK, I'm up for trying to do that. And taking independence of | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
the table in the short-term? In a Brexit, that is what I have been | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
clearer about. When the PM it out, she hit back. Some regard make a | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
second referendum all but inevitable for independence? I think that is | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
very likely the case. Why likely and not definitely? The S never wanted | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
a referendum under the circumstances. -- the SNP. The rest | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
of the UK's outside Europe, you've got a single market, a European hard | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
boundary between England and Scotland, which we wouldn't have had | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
last time. So there was -- they wanted a referendum with both | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
countries inside the EU. The polls are showing support for independence | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
pretty much where it was in 2014. I have made it very clear that that | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
option is very much on the table, and as I have said before, I think | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
with every day that passes right now, it's becoming clear that | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Scotland's voice cannot end is not able to be heard within the UK on | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
this question. Nicola Sturgeon says she will ever get what -- give up on | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
independence in the long term. The question of when we might get | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
another referendum remains unanswered. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Earlier our political editor Brian Taylor was at Holyrood, | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
and we asked Why doesn't Nicola Sturgeon call | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
Nicola Sturgeon doesn't want to hold a referendum, she wants to win one, | :06:28. | :06:37. | |
and these are not particularly good circumstances, nor the time of her | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
choosing. If she is to hold one, and I think she will, then there has to | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
be preparing the ground beforehand. I think she wants to several things. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
First, she is genuinely seeking in discussions with the UK Government | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
to get concessions towards Scotland's interests as she sees | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
them. Second, she wants to prolong those discussions in order to enable | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
the late. Third, if there is to be a referendum, she was to be able to | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
say to British people, the Scottish people, I did everything in my power | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
to try and strike a deal within the UK, and it proved impossible. She | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
wants to set the grounding for that referendum if and when it occurs. | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
How to keep Scotland's lights on, as our energy demands increase. | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Today the Scottish Government published its vision | :07:23. | :07:23. | |
for the transition away from oil and gas, towards an emphasis | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
on renewable sources - and its most ambitious target yet. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
But a return to coal could be on the cards. | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Our environment correspondent Keven Keane reports. | :07:34. | :07:42. | |
It was the end of an era as Scotland's last | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
coal-fired power station was finally shut down. | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
But now this and other locations could be reborn from the | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
ashes as ministers propose repowering some infrastructure. | :07:59. | :08:11. | |
This site is due for demolition, but is the location which is of value, | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
right in the middle of a power line network. | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
If carbon capture can be revived, ministers are not ruling | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
When it comes to carbon capture and storage, | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
we may trial in Scotland, but we have enough resource with the | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
technology we have today to meet our carbon emissions within this | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
Many of today's announcements were in last week's | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
climate plan, but a new target was set, creating half of our energy | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
needs from renewables by the end of the decade. | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
It is ambitious and it will be challenging, but the | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
modelling we have done suggests that we are | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
in the right ballpark between | :08:51. | :08:51. | |
With the initiatives we put in our climate change plan, we | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
The target is a tough one, not least because of | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
a drive to rely more on | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
electricity for our heating and to power | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
our cars, so the demand is | :09:03. | :09:03. | |
And there is still no intention to extend the lives of | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
our nuclear power stations at Torness and Hunterston, | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
This could have been written on the back of a beer mat. | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
It is not going to tackle the issue of where our | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
industry in Scotland gets its energy from. | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
It is not going to tackle how we keep the lights on and the | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Scottish Government admit we have a problem with how we produce | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
It is not going to with fuel poverty. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
In the 1970s, this was the future, and would change our lives. | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
Ministers are to explore replacing the natural gas in our | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
pipes with hydrogen, but that's a long way into the future. | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
An Aberdeenshire restaurant manager who killed a chef in a row over | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
a takeaway order has been jailed for 32 months. | :09:50. | :10:04. | |
Hidayet Ozden repeatedly punched Shahzad Shah | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
at the Mirchi Indian takeaway in Mintlaw in April last year. | :10:07. | :10:09. | |

Lifescan's parent company Johnson and Johnson announced | :10:18. | :10:18. | |
it is reviewing its options and it could sell the business. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Lifescan currently employs 1,100 people in the Highland capital. | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
The public watchdog Transport Focus says there's been | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
a big fall in customer satisfaction with train services in Scotland - | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
however levels remain higher, than in the UK as a whole | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
ScotRail continues to face pressure over late and cancelled services. | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
More than 1300 passengers were interviewed | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
towards the end of last year, as part of a UK-wide survey. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
Its publication comes a day after ScotRail announced it had | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
appointed Alex Hynes as its new boss. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |

Well, It's over to Judith now with the weather outlook | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
Good evening. We haven't seen much rain so far this month, and not much | :11:17. | :11:29. | |
in the forecast over the next few days either. We did see the sun | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
breaking through, here is a lovely sunset. Red sky at night, Shepherd's | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
delight, it will be largely die leg dry day. The ever brings fairly | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
cloudy and -- Friday. We'll see extensive freezing fog across the | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
south-east of England, just be aware of that, because the fog will cause | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
travel disruption tomorrow morning if you're heading down towards | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
Gatwick, Heathrow or other airports down south. Tomorrow morning starts | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
cloudy, breezy. A few spits and spots of rain, perhaps. It'll be a | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
mild start, too. Temperatures rising to 7-9 C first thing tomorrow | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
morning. I think we'll see 10 degrees. Thing are really shifting | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
either. Gales over Shetland at some point during the day, too. This | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
Lazarus of the morning is concerned, the cloud will thin and break. | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
Something brighter tomorrow, Northern Isles not faring too badly | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
either. As was the rest of UK's concerned, a similar story across | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
the best of some trend towards Wales, staying cloudy and cold | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
across south-east England. Temperatures here struggling, | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
really, and that cloud. Come further north, you will see those values | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
rising, as you can see. In Scotland, there is a potential tomorrow to see | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
temperatures of 13 Celsius along here, widely reaching ten sources as | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
well. Range is pushing into the Western Isles by the end of the | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
afternoon. The rain leaves towards the north to ride, then dry with | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
clearing skies tomorrow. The winds start to back into the south-east, | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
drawing in colder air from the near continent. It has been very cold | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
this winter so far. A window day -- windy day. Temperatures | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
around five successes. That is your forecast. | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
