:00:09. > :00:11.the threat of a second independence referendum - but she refused to be
:00:12. > :00:15.drawn on whether the UK Government would block one.
:00:16. > :00:17.Theresa May was speaking in a wide-ranging interview

:00:26. > :00:56.Jackie Bird asked Theresa May first about the aftermath of the EU vote.
:00:57. > :01:00.But when we look at what we want to do in the future in terms
:01:01. > :01:02.of the UK and its access to the single market
:01:03. > :01:04.and the European Union I want a comprehensive free-trade deal.
:01:05. > :01:07.I want to be able to see the best possible trading arrangement
:01:08. > :01:11.From Scotland's point of view, the single market that matters most
:01:12. > :01:13.in terms of trade for Scotland is the single market
:01:14. > :01:17.In recent days, Sir John Major and Tony Blair have both warned
:01:18. > :01:19.that this hard Brexit makes a second Scottish independence
:01:20. > :01:23.I am sure you have heard that Nicola Sturgeon describes it
:01:24. > :01:26.The question isn't whether there could be a referendum
:01:27. > :01:30.I think in 2014 the people of Scotland voted to
:01:31. > :01:34.It was described by the SNP as a once in a generation vote that
:01:35. > :01:37.I don't think people want a referendum today.
:01:38. > :01:43.It's about delivering for people on the issues that matter to them
:01:44. > :01:47.I can't help but feel that SNP has tunnel vision about independence.
:01:48. > :01:49.I think people want the SNP Government to get on with dealing
:01:50. > :01:52.the issues they want to see addressed day-to-day, the state
:01:53. > :01:55.Education used to be such a great flagship for Scotland,
:01:56. > :01:59.but sadly in recent years we've seen that deteriorating.
:02:00. > :02:01.These are the issues that matter to people day-to-day.
:02:02. > :02:07.They want the SNP Government to get on with the day job.
:02:08. > :02:10.We know what the SNP Government thinks and they are saying a second
:02:11. > :02:14.independence referendum is all but inevitable.
:02:15. > :02:18.You have the power to grant that or not.
:02:19. > :02:21.If they ask for it, if there is a vote in the Scottish
:02:22. > :02:23.parliament and they say, we demand a second
:02:24. > :02:29.independence referendum, will you give permission?
:02:30. > :02:32.I think the SNP needs to move away from the tunnel vision
:02:33. > :02:36.of independence and focus on the issues that matter
:02:37. > :02:41.You are saying that the Scottish Government has tunnel vision
:02:42. > :02:48.You have the power to stop that by saying, you may want a second
:02:49. > :02:53.but it isn't going to happen, focus on running Scotland.
:02:54. > :03:00.Are you saying you are not going to do that?
:03:01. > :03:03.At the moment, I think people in Scotland are clear
:03:04. > :03:10.I think the SNP is exhibiting tunnel vision.
:03:11. > :03:13.I think people want an SNP government getting
:03:14. > :03:22.So why was your clarion call, looking ahead to the local council
:03:23. > :03:26.elections, that if you vote for the Conservative Party,
:03:27. > :03:30.you are voting against a second Scottish independence referendum?
:03:31. > :03:34.In that case, you are playing the same game.
:03:35. > :03:40.No, we are saying something simple that I think is resonating
:03:41. > :03:43.with people, which is that actually I think people want to see people
:03:44. > :03:48.elected, as councillors, as MSPs, who are focusing on the issues that
:03:49. > :03:50.matter to them, and the message of the Conservative Party
:03:51. > :03:56.is that we will focus on those issues day-to-day.
:03:57. > :03:59.Do you believe the SNP Government has a mandate to call a second
:04:00. > :04:07.Obviously, significant powers have been devolved to Scotland.
:04:08. > :04:10.The SNP government have the opportunity to use those powers
:04:11. > :04:15.to improve the day-to-day life of people in Scotland.
:04:16. > :04:21.In recent days, there has been talk of powers being taken
:04:22. > :04:22.from the Scottish Government post-Brexit.
:04:23. > :04:27.I am clear, we are not going to take powers away.
:04:28. > :04:34.We need to look at those powers that currently reside in Brussels,
:04:35. > :04:37.when they come back, when the UK leaves the EU,
:04:38. > :04:43.In some areas, we will need to ensure there is a UK framework
:04:44. > :04:47.to make sure that the single market of the UK that matters for Scotland
:04:48. > :04:53.What we are talking to all of the devolved
:04:54. > :04:58.administrations about is, when we do that, when we bring
:04:59. > :05:02.powers back from Brussels, what should stay at a UK level
:05:03. > :05:07.and what should be further devolved to the devolved administrations.
:05:08. > :05:09.So no powers that are currently there will be taken away.
:05:10. > :05:18.Our political editor Brian Taylor joined me earlier from Holyrood
:05:19. > :05:21.when I put it to him that the Scottish Government had
:05:22. > :05:25.some hard-hitting words of its own tonight.
:05:26. > :05:28.You won't be surprised to know that the First Minister takes a
:05:29. > :05:41.First of all saying that the Conservative UK
:05:42. > :05:43.Government have no mandate to govern Scotland, no mandate to take
:05:44. > :05:46.Scotland out of the EU and the single market
:05:47. > :05:48.against the professed will of the Scottish people but, as
:05:49. > :05:51.you mentioned, that argument that, in the discussions that have taken
:05:52. > :05:52.place over Scotland's contribution and role
:05:53. > :06:01.Scotland of Brexit, Nicola Sturgeon argues
:06:02. > :06:03.that she has offered consensus and compromise and has been met
:06:04. > :06:05.by a brick wall of Tory intransigence.
:06:06. > :06:07.It might suit both governments to maintain
:06:08. > :06:10.discussions at some level and in some fashion for a wee while.
:06:11. > :06:12.It might suit the UK Government as they
:06:13. > :06:15.seek to find some way, any way, of pre-empting a second
:06:16. > :06:20.independence referendum and it might suit Nicola
:06:21. > :06:23.Sturgeon as she seeks to demonstrate to the people of Scotland that she
:06:24. > :06:32.has sought every avenue, pursued every potential by way within the
:06:33. > :06:35.ambit of the UK, short of moving instantly to that referendum.
:06:36. > :06:37.Do I think there is likely to be a referendum on independence?
:06:38. > :06:42.Fans and major figures from the world of football have been
:06:43. > :06:44.paying tribute to the former Celtic defender and Lisbon Lion
:06:45. > :06:49.Tommy Gemmell, who has died at the age of 73.
:06:50. > :06:53.He scored one of the goals in Celtic's 2-1 victory in the 1967

:07:27. > :07:28.Inter Milan in the European cup final in Lisbon.
:07:29. > :07:30.Nobody could see us winning the match.
:07:31. > :07:33.We had a couldn't care less attitude and we played with the class
:07:34. > :07:35.and style that we played with throughout the season.
:07:36. > :07:38.As I say, we didn't have any pressure at all.
:07:39. > :07:41.Tommy Gemmell's goal that day was one of the great iconic moments
:07:42. > :07:49.It is imprinted on the mind, not just because of its significance
:07:50. > :07:53.but because of the spectacular nature of the goal.
:07:54. > :07:55.He had a long stride, covering the ground quickly,
:07:56. > :08:00.tremendous leg strength and a superb shot, and that all came distilled
:08:01. > :08:13.At Celtic Park today, two of Tommy Gemmell's former
:08:14. > :08:16.team-mates shared memories of a friend and former Lisbon Lion.
:08:17. > :08:18.He was one of the best fullbacks in Europe at the time.
:08:19. > :08:25.The most important thing for us was the dressing room,
:08:26. > :08:28.because he was so close to each of us.
:08:29. > :08:32.I know he looked like him, but he believed he was.
:08:33. > :08:40.As well as a career with Celtic, Tommy Gemmell played
:08:41. > :08:49.18 times for Scotland, with mixed results.
:08:50. > :08:51.COMMENTATOR: Oh, that was uncalled for.
:08:52. > :08:54.Everybody feels sorry for him but at the time it's
:08:55. > :08:56.just a sort of thing, you can't stop yourself doing it.
:08:57. > :08:59.It's on the spur of the moment and that's it.
:09:00. > :09:03.The undeniable fact is that Tommy Gemmell will be remembered
:09:04. > :09:10.mainly for his Celtic performances and as a Lisbon Lion.
:09:11. > :09:15.For us, in this particular year, the 50th anniversary, it's so sad.
:09:16. > :09:25.Although we are mourning Tommy, I would hope we can celebrate
:09:26. > :09:28.some way as well, celebrate who Tommy was and what
:09:29. > :09:33.he did for this club and what that team did for Celtic.
:09:34. > :09:35.A report into the death of a fisherman from Newton Stewart

:10:21. > :10:26.for hopefully the next half century at least, it can play a major
