The process that will change the United Kingdom's

:00:08.:00:10.

But just what will that mean for Scotland?

:00:11.:00:15.

The Prime Minister insisted she wanted to agree

:00:16.:00:17.

a deep and special partnership with Europe.

:00:18.:00:20.

But in response the SNP's Westminster leader Angus Robertson

:00:21.:00:23.

called again for a vote on independence,

:00:24.:00:25.

Our political correspondent Nick Eardley reports

:00:26.:00:29.

Another day of history in Westminster. Today's vote will that

:00:30.:00:46.

I commence will change the course of the United Kingdom. It will open a

:00:47.:00:50.

relationship that alter our relationship with Europe

:00:51.:00:54.

fundamentally. Will Brexit be good for Scotland? You think so, but

:00:55.:00:59.

these got his Government disagrees passionately. The Prime Minister

:01:00.:01:03.

arriving in Parliament, one of the most important statements she will

:01:04.:01:06.

ever deliver here, time to coincide with the divorce letter arriving in

:01:07.:01:12.

Brussels. Statement, the primary stuff. A message of unity and a

:01:13.:01:18.

pledge of more powers. It is the expectation of the Government that

:01:19.:01:21.

the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

:01:22.:01:24.

will see a significant increase in their decision-making power as a

:01:25.:01:28.

result of this process. Horseback still no specifics. But also this

:01:29.:01:33.

promise. When I sit around the negotiating table, and will

:01:34.:01:36.

represent every person in the UK, young and old, rich and poor, city,

:01:37.:01:41.

town, country, and the villages in between. ? The SNP said a duty wide

:01:42.:01:48.

agreement had not been delivered. The Prime Minister promised an

:01:49.:01:53.

agreement, there is no agreement. She has broken her promise. If she

:01:54.:01:57.

remains intransigent, and if she denies Scotland a choice in our

:01:58.:02:01.

future, she will make Scottish independence inevitable. And here it

:02:02.:02:10.

is, the letter that was delivered to present task LA today. It says the

:02:11.:02:15.

top should be constructive and respectful and admitted task ahead

:02:16.:02:18.

is momentous, but says it she be within the grasp of the UK and EU

:02:19.:02:24.

defied a deal within two years. If the message today from the

:02:25.:02:29.

Government one of optimism? It is very positive, we what to form a new

:02:30.:02:34.

relationship with the EU, and confirming that we will be European

:02:35.:02:37.

but not part of the youth, that we be looking to take these

:02:38.:02:41.

negotiations followed in a constructive fashion, get a deal

:02:42.:02:44.

that works for Scotland and the whole of the UK. Some disagree. They

:02:45.:02:49.

think today is a bad one, to make Scotland was. It is a sad day for

:02:50.:02:55.

Scotland and the rest of the UK and Europe, for a long time we have

:02:56.:03:00.

become wealthier, healthier, fairer and safer as a result of our

:03:01.:03:07.

partnership with the U. Enormously bad news, not just for Scotland but

:03:08.:03:11.

for businesses and people's jobs right across the length and breadth

:03:12.:03:16.

of the United Kingdom. We can't get off this boss, but we need to do is

:03:17.:03:20.

engage with this process, make sure that what we want is included in the

:03:21.:03:25.

negotiations and we are holding the Government to account. The Brexit

:03:26.:03:28.

process has begun. Where it takes the UK and Scotland, those questions

:03:29.:03:33.

will be answered in the coming years.

:03:34.:03:36.

The First Minister has warned that Brexit is a dangerous

:03:37.:03:38.

And Scottish Ministers say the Article 50 timetable makes

:03:39.:03:42.

the case for an independence referendum even more compelling.

:03:43.:03:45.

The call came as the UK Government turned down proposals

:03:46.:03:47.

But Conservatives insist a referendum would be

:03:48.:03:52.

This from our political editor Brian Taylor.

:03:53.:04:02.

Nicola Sturgeon says she wishes the Prime Minister well in her efforts

:04:03.:04:08.

to secure the best possible Brexit deal. Good luck. By visiting a

:04:09.:04:15.

Glasgow currently creating 300 jobs to do the links she wants that

:04:16.:04:19.

Brexit will be damaging. There's no doubt that what is happening does

:04:20.:04:22.

represent something of a leap in the dark, some nine months after the EU

:04:23.:04:27.

referendum, albeit article 50 has been triggered, the Prime Minister

:04:28.:04:31.

still cannot answer basic questions about what Brexit will mean for

:04:32.:04:36.

businesses, the economy. The First Minister had urged a distinctive

:04:37.:04:39.

deal involving Scottish access to the European single market, but

:04:40.:04:44.

David that David Davis says that is unworkable. Any letter to Mike

Russell, his Scottish counterpart, he stresses shared ground and shared

:04:49.:04:52.

goals for the talks. Applicant is clearer than ever that Scotland will

:04:53.:04:57.

need very strong voiced standing up for Scottish interests. At the end

:04:58.:05:01.

of the process, which is not clearly delineated, will require to make a

:05:02.:05:06.

choice. We can put Scotland's future in Scotland by the hands are can be

:05:07.:05:10.

dragged along with a Tory high Brexit. We deserve that choice. The

:05:11.:05:16.

Conservatives say they would even conflict that I contemplate an

:05:17.:05:19.

independence referendum until Brexit has not fully side but settle down.

:05:20.:05:22.

We might we have been quite clear that now is not the time to be

:05:23.:05:24.

putting a second independence referendum back on the table. Now is

:05:25.:05:32.

not the time to be taught about a second independence referendum.

:05:33.:05:39.

Labour's Kezia Dugdale in Wales today set a plague on both houses.

:05:40.:05:44.

What do people want is not to be forced between two gymnast listens,

:05:45.:05:47.

and that is what we have got to get back to. Iron majorities quite

happy. I've seen it for years. More and more blame. A play about Brexit

:05:53.:05:57.

text to the stage in Glasgow. But after lengthy rehearsals, the

:05:58.:06:00.

political drama has no open for real.

:06:01.:06:02.

Formal negotiations with Brussels aren't expected to begin

:06:03.:06:04.

So what do EU politicians and officials think about Scotland's

:06:05.:06:08.

Our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell reports from Brussels.

:06:09.:06:18.

There is no guide to the EU's capital city expert enough to say

:06:19.:06:29.

what Brexit will bring. I suppose it will not be a good thing and I hope

:06:30.:06:34.

that the Scottish lead the UK and then they can remain with us. I hope

:06:35.:06:39.

that the Scottish lead the UK and so. Because a majority in Scotland

:06:40.:06:42.

voted Remain, the First Minister wanted to keep ours, if not the

:06:43.:06:50.

whole UK, inside the EU. In a Norway style arrangement. But Norway's

:06:51.:06:54.

minister for the single market says membership isn't sure such a deal is

:06:55.:07:02.

possible. It could be both a part of the EU and part of the agreement. We

:07:03.:07:10.

are open for all solutions. When Scotland vote for independence,

:07:11.:07:13.

would it be welcomed into Norway style membership of the single

:07:14.:07:17.

market? That is the same answer. We would be open-minded. Cooperation

:07:18.:07:23.

between countries and Europe is important. Scottish ministers will

:07:24.:07:27.

be pleased to hear that opened my Guinness, because they are coming to

:07:28.:07:30.

think of a Norway style deal as a staging post to fuel EU membership.

:07:31.:07:37.

Scotland votes for independence after the UK has left the European

:07:38.:07:41.

Union. Theresa May once Brexit debate in before any fresh vote on

:07:42.:07:45.

independence, Nicola Sturgeon thinks we don't know enough in 18 months to

:07:46.:07:53.

two years. In Brussels, which is not the shape of any Brexit deal should

:07:54.:07:57.

be clear by then. I hope we will be able to manage to come to a

:07:58.:08:03.

compromise a deal that will cover the divorce Bill and also the future

:08:04.:08:07.

relationship. Nicola Sturgeon has put lots of effort and expanding our

:08:08.:08:10.

position on Brexit to European leaders. There is understanding

:08:11.:08:14.

here. But most senior figures are reluctant to be drawn into our

:08:15.:08:18.

debate. As far as Scotland is concerned, or those who voted to

:08:19.:08:23.

stay, of course they feel unhappy and that they consider racers were

:08:24.:08:28.

not taken into account, but it is totally up to the UK. It is not up

:08:29.:08:38.

to the people of Scotland,... Organising future live. Back in

:08:39.:08:42.

Brussels main square, a visiting leader who is decided his country

:08:43.:08:47.

should eventually join the EU will stop to get closer and closer to our

:08:48.:08:52.

family, where we feel we belong. Do you think it is funny that Georgia

:08:53.:08:55.

is try to get anywhere in the UK is coming out? One might think it is

:08:56.:09:00.

funny but there's nothing funny. It is a decision of the UK which you

:09:01.:09:06.

need to respect. Different countries, different choices.

:09:07.:09:09.

The opening of the new Queensferry Crossing has been delayed again.

:09:10.:09:11.

It's being blamed on bad weather affecting the construction work.

:09:12.:09:15.

The bridge now won't be open to traffic

:09:16.:09:18.

until July or August, as Morag Kinniburgh reports.

:09:19.:09:26.

Weather is blamed for the delay. Scottish Government's flagship

:09:27.:09:34.

projects was the open before and it now. Now it will be July or August.

:09:35.:09:39.

What is important we have an iconic structure which can't properly see

:09:40.:09:42.

today, we have to have it completed safely to the correct standards. The

:09:43.:09:45.

contractor faces fines for these delays. We took the effect of

:09:46.:09:51.

whether immediately leading up to it, and added some additional

:09:52.:09:57.

factors. What we have found especially in the last two or the

:09:58.:10:00.

monster that weather has been far greater than we expected. The

:10:01.:10:03.

Scottish Government tested it will be no extra cost to the public purse

:10:04.:10:08.

because of this further delay. It says a six-year project will come in

:10:09.:10:13.

at around a quarter of the billion pounds below budget. Opposition

:10:14.:10:17.

politicians are critical. They wonder if the timetable is where

:10:18.:10:20.

ever realistic. Why wasn't the Scottish Parliament told earlier?

:10:21.:10:26.

When exactly did they know about this situation, and was it regarded

:10:27.:10:31.

by the Scottish garment as a good day to bury bad news because the was

:10:32.:10:36.

elsewhere? Lorries on the existing bridge cost closes this winter, but

:10:37.:10:43.

drivers will be hoping there's no further disruption to either

:10:44.:10:43.

crossing. A report into an outbreak

:10:44.:10:45.

of Ecoli O157, in which a three-year-old child died,

:10:46.:10:48.

has concluded Dunsyre Blue 17 people required hospital

:10:49.:10:51.

treatment as a result of the outbreak between July and

:10:52.:10:56.

September last year. It led to further investigations

:10:57.:10:59.

of cheese produced by Errington Cheese in Lanarkshire,

:11:00.:11:02.

and of the production processes The company said there

:11:03.:11:05.

was nothing found linking their cheese

:11:06.:11:08.

to the outbreak, and that more detailed investigations

:11:09.:11:10.

into the cause were needed. Well, It's over to Christopher now,

the central belt by lunchtime, but that every of rain is likely to

:12:39.:12:42.

from the south, and that moves its way across the country as we head

Most of the rain on Friday will be in the west and a little further
