Nicola Sturgeon has accused the Prime Minister of acting | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
as a "road block", preventing Scotland from having a real choice | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
But the First Minister's critics said she would use | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
anything as "an excuse" to promote independence. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
The exchanges came during the first day of debate, over a demand | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
for Theresa May to concede a second referendum on Scotland's future. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
This from our political editor, Brian Taylor. | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
It is about time, timing, complex, political interplay. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
Theresa May is about to signal the start Britain's | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
She doesn't want to contemplate a Scottish referendum | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
But that strikes Nicola Sturgeon as unfair. | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
She says Scotland should be given a choice | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
before or just as Britain leaves the European Union | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
between autumn 2018 and spring the year after. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Nicola Sturgeon said it weighed heavily | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
upon her to call a referendum, which many didn't relish. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
But she blamed the Prime Minister for | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
refusing to compromise on continuing Scottish links with the EU. | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
It will simply not be acceptable for the UK | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
Government to stand as a roadblock to the democratically expressed will | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
For the UK Government to stand in the wake of | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Scotland even having a choice, would be, | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
in my view, wrong, unfair and | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
But union supporters harked back to the | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
Edinburgh Agreement, which paved the way for the independence | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
They said the SNP had broken its pledge to respect the | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
Most people in Scotland are sick to death | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Most people in Scotland don't want another | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
referendum any time soon, three years after the last one and most | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
people in Scotland see the common-sense | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Which is a second independence referendum shouldn't even be | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
contemplated until Brexit is resolved. | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
Labour's leader said she hated Tory rule, but... | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
They want to replace Tory austerity with | :02:31. | :02:31. | |
Because the truth of the matter is, separation | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
would mean ?15 billion worth of cuts. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
Willie Rennie said those against the referendum had faced a | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
torrent of abuse from Independence supporters. | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
A second referendum would only make that worse. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
It is nice to be given such a warm welcome. | :02:51. | :03:11. | |
Ironic groans greeted Patrick Harvie. | :03:12. | :03:12. | |
Critics said the Greens have ruled out a referendum unless there was | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
public demand, but Mr Harvey brushed that aside. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
It is, Presiding Officer, absurd to suggest we should | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
not respond to and react to the situation and the fundamentally | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
changed circumstances we find ourselves in. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Outside Parliament, the attendant media, observing, | :03:36. | :03:36. | |
There is sound, there is light and tomorrow, there is a | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
vote on whether Holyrood demands another independence referendum. | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
Meanwhile, it's understood MPs have delayed a final decision | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
on whether to debate the issue of a future Scottish | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
An E-petition calling for a ban in Westminster | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
on the matter has attracted more than 200,000 signatures. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
The commons Petitions Committee failed to make a formal decision. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
The expectation is that a debate will go ahead, | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
but linked to a counter petition in favour of a second | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Voters in Scotland have demanded answers to key questions on Scottish | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
During a live BBC debate earlier tonight they raised concern | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
about issues including future of EU nationals living in the UK. | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Our reporter Andrew Black was watching. | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
Debating before twilight audios... Won at the Prime Minister due to | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
officially begin the process of leaving the EU next week, voters say | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
there are many unanswered questions. What impact for Brexit have on EU | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
nationals working in the UK? Should Theresa May be allowed to deliver | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Scottish referendum because Brexit? On that, the Prime Minister says now | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
is not the time to authorise the legally binding referendum because | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
Brexit talks, so when the Scottish Government go-ahead one anyway. Were | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
one of action which is to take the will of the people of Scotland is | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
democratically exercised through this and... We have eight days to go | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
and none the wiser of the content of the Brexit letter that is going to | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
drag Scotland out of the EU against our wishes. Won the Conservatives | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
have said no to another referendum before April 2019, but could they | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
strike a deal to hold it in the in between? The principle of the thing | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
is the same as it was in 2012, and that it would be unfair to ask the | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
people of Scotland whether they want to be in an independent state remain | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
in the United Kingdom while at the UK relationship to the rest of the | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
European Union is unclear. Won the comments provoked a strong response. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
I'm getting sick of hearing Scotland voted to stay in. As she said that. | :06:10. | :06:19. | |
62% said it. The vote was not a Scottish vote, it was United Kingdom | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
votes. Brexit is a sham. It was sold on a lie. Sold a total lie. On the | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
whole thing is the whole point is it is part of the Tory power grab for | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
agriculture and fisheries in Scotland. You can shake your head | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
all you want, there is a reason. There was concern about the future | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
of EU in the UK. My husband is French and has lived a full 27 years | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
and we have been married for eight years. I am British, and if Theresa | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
May does not accept that EU residents are here, he would have to | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
go. I am Bulgarian and there's been lots of negative and distressing | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
things coming out. I teach at the University there is a lot of | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
international students and there is real distress and worry. We have | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
been called bargaining chips, citizens of nowhere... Won on that, | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
the two sides agreed respect their rights was vital, but with a | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Hollywood vote tomorrow expected to back Scottish calls for the legal | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
powers to hold another referendum, there is plenty of division head. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
Scotland's First Minister has paid tribute to Martin McGuinness, | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
the former deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, who died today. | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
Nicola Sturgeon says without his "hard and brave work" | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
to bridge the divide, peace would not have been achieved. | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Ms Sturgeon got to know Mr McGuinness through their work | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
She said he was optimistic about the future but also | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
understood the "fragility" of the peace process. | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Martin McGuinness' death has brought intense reflection both on his role | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
as former IRA commander and as one of the architects of | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Tonight, while he received praise from a former Scottish MP who served | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
at the Northern Ireland Office, the family of a soldier murdered | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
by the IRA said they hoped Martin McGuinness would be | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
remembered as a terrorist and not a statesman. | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
This man was killed by the IRA in March 1971. | :08:21. | :08:34. | |
He'd only been in the province a few weeks. | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
It was a honey trap, along with two other Scottish soldiers, | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
teenagers John and Joseph McCague, her was lured to a remote spot and | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
It was a pivotal moment and shattered their families. | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
His cousin David was just three | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
No one has been convicted of the murders and an inquest returned | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
But David said the scar on his family has never healed. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
He is convinced that as an IRA commander at the time, Martin | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
McGuinness must have known who was responsible. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
Martin McGuinness played a part in the republican | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
If anything happened on the streets, Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness | :09:08. | :09:18. | |
Today, some of those who worked with Martin McGuinness | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
during the peace process say he played | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
a crucial role in forging the | :09:27. | :09:27. | |
There was a good Martin McGuinness and a bad | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
He fought the bad fighter but then went on to fight | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Because of that, we have the situation in Northern | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
There is a peace process there and he is a big feature of that. | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
46 years on, still campaigning for a public inquiry into the deaths of | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
the soldiers, David says he remains convinced that Martin McGuinness | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
People will look on him as a statesman, other people will look | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
Moves are under way to extradite a retired priest from Canada | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
to Scotland in connection with child abuse claims. | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
The Crown Office has been granted a petition warrant for the arrest | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
of Father Robert MacKenzie, who lives in Saskatchewan. | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
Fort Augustus Abbey School before moving to Canada in 1988. | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
Papers are now being prepared in the Crown Office to submit | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
an extradition request to the Canadian authorities. | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
A plumber is to face trial accused of causing a gas explosion in 2013 | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
which saw the owners of this home buried in the rubble. | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
Craig Hall is alleged to have failed to properly install a boiler | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
at Robin and Marion Cunningham's house in Callander. | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
Rugby and Scotland's third most-capped player is to bring | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
an end to his 17-year career at the end of the season. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Sean Lamont - seen here scoring against Italy - | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
The 36-year-old also helped Glasgow Warriors to their first ever | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Well, it started out with snow for many of us this morning. | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
Let's go to Christopher now for the weather | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
It is cold and frosty tonight. Icy patches, too. Largely dry central | :11:18. | :11:34. | |
parts of the country, but you can see we have this trough in the North | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
producing wintry showers. And also, this low pressure bringing snow | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
across the Pennines. That could edge into the southern parts of Scotland | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
tomorrow morning. At 8am, you can see it is fairly cloudy in southern | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
parts, patchy rain, perhaps lead and snow even to lower levels. It is a | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
fine run of Scotland tomorrow morning. At 8am, you can see it is | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
fairly cloudy in southern parts, patchy rain, perhaps lead and snow | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
even to lower levels. It is a fine run thing. Generally, the central | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
Lowlands get a dry and cold start. Sunshine in Argyll and Western | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Aberdeenshire and in toward the far North. Still a fewer showers in | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Orkney and Shetland. With the north-east breeze, quite chilly. | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
Through the day, cloudy in the south, wet weather tending to fade | :12:21. | :12:31. | |
away. South of the border, the low-pressure means cloudy and down | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
day of the good parts of the North of England and Wales and insert East | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
Anglia and the south-east. Hampshire and daughters, showers and bright | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
spells. 9-10 C. We will have 6-7 C and even with sunshine in the | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
north-east breeze it will feel cold. Showers fading away as we head | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
through to this time tomorrow night. That signals a change as we head to | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
Thursday. Largely dry, fine and bright. Winds much lighter. | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Temperatures 9-10 C. Showers for Shetland. High-pressure stretching | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
up to us here in Scotland. That will be with us through the weekend and | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
it will be largely fine, dry, bright and sunny, mild by day and chilly by | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
night. That is over now. Our next update is during Breakfast | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
at 6.25am tomorrow morning. But, from everyone on the late | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
team here in Glasgow | :13:30. | :13:32. |
