champions his legacy hangs in the balance. Dan Rowan,

:00:00.:00:00.

On Election Reporting Scotland tonight:

:00:00.:00:09.

Going head to head just over a week before polling day,

:00:10.:00:12.

And the Scottish Lib Dems launch their manifesto,

:00:13.:00:15.

Just over a week to go until polling day and one of the biggest debates

:00:16.:00:45.

of the election campaign has just taken place.

:00:46.:00:49.

Theresa May refused to take part in the BBC debate,

:00:50.:00:52.

but Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn did decide to take part,

:00:53.:00:54.

announcing his decision earlier today.

:00:55.:00:56.

Lets go live to Cambridge and our Political Correspondent

:00:57.:00:58.

That's right. Good evening from the Senate house here in Cambridge where

:00:59.:01:14.

the debate has taken place just over an hour ago. 19 minutes of

:01:15.:01:19.

discussion in which the dynamics of the debate changed when Jeremy

:01:20.:01:22.

Corbyn announced at lunchtime today that he would, after all, take part

:01:23.:01:27.

in today's debate. Theresa May made it plain that she would not come,

:01:28.:01:31.

despite the fact that Jeremy Corbyn decided he would attend the debate.

:01:32.:01:38.

It meant that at times it was six against one, the opposition parties

:01:39.:01:43.

against the Conservatives, and making great play as to why Theresa

:01:44.:01:46.

May was not here. As you say, no Nicola Sturgeon either. The SNP was

:01:47.:01:55.

represented by Angus Robertson. Officials say he is the man that has

:01:56.:02:00.

been at Westminster and is used to dealing with the Westminster

:02:01.:02:03.

situation, and is used to challenging Westminster politicians.

:02:04.:02:08.

If Theresa May had decided to turn up, the SNP would have had a hard

:02:09.:02:15.

thing, and the possibility that Nicola Sturgeon would have taken

:02:16.:02:19.

part in tonight's debate. That did not happen. It was one of those

:02:20.:02:23.

debates where all of them will be quite happy with the way things

:02:24.:02:26.

went. They were able to get across the key points they wanted. There

:02:27.:02:31.

was no gaffe from any of the seven politicians, to cause problems, and

:02:32.:02:36.

with a week ago, they also to perhaps win over some of the

:02:37.:02:39.

undecided voters. It was fairly heated

:02:40.:02:41.

at moments, particularly on

:02:42.:02:42.

the subject of immigration? It was a very passionate 90 minutes.

:02:43.:02:52.

It was noisy, it was shouting at times. It seemed as though it was

:02:53.:02:56.

hard to control the politicians, because they were going at it hammer

:02:57.:03:02.

and tongs on a range of issues. But as you mentioned, immigration proved

:03:03.:03:07.

to be quite a passionate issue. In the Scottish context, no one seemed

:03:08.:03:12.

to disagree as far as Scotland was concerned, immigration and the

:03:13.:03:15.

number of people coming to Scotland were a problem. The argument was

:03:16.:03:20.

very much the reverse, that Scotland had been losing its population. It

:03:21.:03:24.

was said that immigration was not a problem in Scotland. The problem

:03:25.:03:27.

with Scotland was emigration. In other parts of the UK, a slightly

:03:28.:03:33.

different view on that one. Of all the subjects discussed tonight,

:03:34.:03:36.

social care, security matters, Brexit, immigration was one of the

:03:37.:03:41.

topics that raised the temperature. David, thank you so much.

:03:42.:03:46.

Now, the Scottish Lib Dems have launched their manifesto today,

:03:47.:03:49.

with leader Willie Rennie telling BBC Scotland that his party

:03:50.:03:51.

is set to make "great progress" in the election.

:03:52.:03:53.

Here's our political editor Brian Taylor.

:03:54.:04:00.

Scotland's capital, reefs in sunshine as if it weren't tough

:04:01.:04:05.

enough already to get people to focus on politics. But easing

:04:06.:04:09.

through the lunchtime crowds, Willie Rennie thinks he has found the

:04:10.:04:14.

formula. Picking apart his party's logo, he says the final Brexit deal

:04:15.:04:19.

must be put to another referendum. The option of staying in the EU. Is

:04:20.:04:26.

there another bit? But a second referendum on Scottish independence,

:04:27.:04:31.

it's a bird that won't fly. The SNP need to focus on the day job. That's

:04:32.:04:36.

why the Liberal Democrats are saying clearly, we are against a second

:04:37.:04:39.

divisive independence referendum, 4- stop. The

:04:40.:04:50.

MPs can't alter income tax, because that is devolved. Among other

:04:51.:04:58.

things, the Lib Dems would end the 1% pay cap, affecting public-sector

:04:59.:05:01.

employees. They would keep the triple lock on pensions, and provide

:05:02.:05:08.

guarantees to EU residents already in Scotland. Largely aimed at

:05:09.:05:14.

helping the universities. Post-oil, they would help the north-east

:05:15.:05:20.

economy to diversify. They paint a picture of a struggling economy,

:05:21.:05:23.

promising to boost growth, while eliminating the day-to-day deficit

:05:24.:05:26.

by 2020. They say they will make a positive case for immigration, but

:05:27.:05:30.

can they gain ground in Scotland? Lib Dems, it is a direct contest

:05:31.:05:38.

between us and the SNP. I know we are going to make great progress and

:05:39.:05:44.

grow in the election, because we are crucial to stopping that second

:05:45.:05:46.

divisive independence referendum before it even starts. But of

:05:47.:05:52.

course, the UK wide elections are fought street by street. Liberal

:05:53.:05:55.

Democrats hope that pavement politics will work for them once

:05:56.:05:56.

more. we've got the former

:05:57.:06:00.

Scottish Lib Dem policy convenor, Siobhan Mathers, Angela Haggerty,

:06:01.:06:06.

the editor of Common Space website; and the Political Editor

:06:07.:06:11.

of the Daily Record, David Clegg, Good evening to you all. Let's start

:06:12.:06:20.

off with the debate, because it is fresh this evening. What did you

:06:21.:06:24.

make of it, was it an easier watch than the ITV debate? At parts, the

:06:25.:06:29.

politicians were remarkably well-behaved. Something got the

:06:30.:06:33.

passions running, and it went back to talking over each other. But it

:06:34.:06:38.

was interesting, if you take away from it. Theresa May didn't come out

:06:39.:06:41.

of it looking very well. There was a question at the end about what each

:06:42.:06:47.

leader had in leadership qualities that should make them the Prime

:06:48.:06:50.

Minister. Of course, everybody took the opportunity to have a go at

:06:51.:06:55.

Theresa May for not turning up. That went on for minutes. Jeremy Corbyn,

:06:56.:07:02.

I think, it was a bit risky for him to turn up at the last minute,

:07:03.:07:05.

because there was a risk that the other party leaders might round up

:07:06.:07:09.

on him, but I think he dealt with that as well as he could have done.

:07:10.:07:13.

And I think, again, he seems to have, judging by social media at

:07:14.:07:17.

this stage, it seems to have gone down quite well. Another you got

:07:18.:07:21.

Paul has come out tonight, and it is putting the difference between the

:07:22.:07:27.

Tories and Labour at three points. The Jeremy Corbyn effect is what we

:07:28.:07:32.

are talking about, and we expect to be talking about Angus Robertson for

:07:33.:07:38.

the SNP. He is always competent and delivers well. Whether he will have

:07:39.:07:41.

the same impact as Nicola Sturgeon, I'm not quite sure. Sherborne, what

:07:42.:07:47.

did you make of Jeremy Corbyn's performance, given that it was a

:07:48.:07:51.

last-minute decision to join the debate? Jeremy Corbyn looks like he

:07:52.:07:55.

is having fun in this campaign. He is warming up, he has nothing to

:07:56.:07:59.

lose. He is entering into the spirit of it. That is really showing. The

:08:00.:08:05.

fact he is there, making an effort, it was basically him saying, "Where

:08:06.:08:10.

is Theresa May?" That went down very well, and it looked like he was

:08:11.:08:14.

enjoying it. It wasn't perfect, but not bad. David Clay, how much was

:08:15.:08:19.

Theresa May's absence and issue? It was referred to. It absolutely was.

:08:20.:08:25.

The most memorable moment of the debate didn't take place during the

:08:26.:08:28.

debate, it happened earlier when Theresa May was asked in an

:08:29.:08:32.

interview about it, and gave a pathetic answer about why she wasn't

:08:33.:08:35.

there because she was concentrating on Brexit. I think it undermined

:08:36.:08:40.

what is, after all, the central message of the Conservative

:08:41.:08:47.

campaign. Theresa May was not strong and stable enough to turn up at a TV

:08:48.:08:51.

debate. Jeremy Corbyn made the right position to capitalise on that. He

:08:52.:08:55.

has had the momentum in the last few days, the polls are narrowing will

:08:56.:09:03.

to turn up and take that home, the one disappointing thing for him may

:09:04.:09:07.

be, once he got onto the debate, he didn't make that much hay regarding

:09:08.:09:12.

Theresa May being there. I think it was Angus Robertson that made more

:09:13.:09:16.

of that. That go to the other story today, the Scottish Lib Dems

:09:17.:09:21.

launching their manifesto. They, like the UK wide party, would put a

:09:22.:09:25.

penny on income tax. Here, that would be used for mental health and

:09:26.:09:29.

education. Down south, it will beat NHS and social care, why the

:09:30.:09:35.

difference? The Lib Dems have always had the capacity to make policy

:09:36.:09:38.

separately, and we are quite proud of that. It is where the greatest

:09:39.:09:44.

need is. Up in Scotland, the priorities we have our education, it

:09:45.:09:49.

is dropping down the rankings. That is what we hear on the doorsteps.

:09:50.:09:53.

And mental health is shocking. There is a real opportunity to make a

:09:54.:09:57.

difference in Scotland. So that is why. What did you make of the

:09:58.:10:03.

Scottish Lib Dem manifesto? Actually, I was quite surprised

:10:04.:10:05.

about how it really struggle to break through. Again, judging by

:10:06.:10:12.

social media, at manifesto launches, they picked up traction, and I saw a

:10:13.:10:16.

bit more about the Scottish Ukip manifesto launch, than the Scottish

:10:17.:10:22.

Lib Dem one. It reflects how the Lib Dems, much like Scottish Labour, are

:10:23.:10:25.

struggling still to find where they fit within the constitutional

:10:26.:10:31.

debate, and that is the thing dominating the general election in

:10:32.:10:34.

Scotland. It is tricky for Willie Rennie as well, because he is

:10:35.:10:39.

backing this manifesto, and a referendum on Brexit terms, but they

:10:40.:10:44.

are mentally opposed to a second Scottish independence referendum. It

:10:45.:10:47.

is a conflict for the Lib Dems that they will have to keep explaining.

:10:48.:10:50.

Willie Rennie will find it quite tricky. Onto the Ukip manifesto,

:10:51.:10:55.

which was also launched today in Scotland, what did you make of... It

:10:56.:11:02.

was 32 pages, it was number light, if you like, if you give and policy

:11:03.:11:06.

things, but what now, post Brexit, can Ukip offer? Ukip are offering

:11:07.:11:13.

almost nothing across the UK, even more heightened in Scotland where

:11:14.:11:17.

they are hamstrung by a leader that is effectively a joke to Angela may

:11:18.:11:21.

have seen a lot about the Ukip manifesto being launched on Twitter

:11:22.:11:25.

today, but almost all of it will have been mockery. It has not been

:11:26.:11:29.

taken seriously by anyone except for the three people who launched it, I

:11:30.:11:35.

think. There is really no chance of any Ukip breakthrough. Everybody

:11:36.:11:39.

knows they are entirely irrelevant to the political debate here, and I

:11:40.:11:42.

don't think it will be going anywhere. OK. Thank you, all, for

:11:43.:11:45.

joining us this evening. More from the campaign

:11:46.:11:48.

trail coming up. But first, Anne Lundon has

:11:49.:11:49.

the rest of today's news. The Scottish child abuse inquiry has

:11:50.:11:54.

heard a succession of apologies, from a variety of organisations,

:11:55.:11:59.

that provided residential care. Our reporter Morag Kinniburgh

:12:00.:12:02.

was there as the public hearing phase of the investigation

:12:03.:12:05.

got underway. in memory of victims of child abuse

:12:06.:12:15.

who have died. Survivors want justice and action to protect

:12:16.:12:23.

children now. I was ignored in 1998. Over the years, I met and heard of

:12:24.:12:27.

many survivors who were the same. Once have changed. Scotland's

:12:28.:12:35.

changed. Child abuse has changed. Reporting and recognising child

:12:36.:12:39.

abuse has changed. I welcome you to the first day of phase one of our

:12:40.:12:44.

public hearings. The enquiry has suffered a series of resignations

:12:45.:12:47.

and criticism on the scope of its remit. Many children in Scotland

:12:48.:12:52.

have, over the years, been abused whilst in residential care. They

:12:53.:12:59.

suffered some terrible treatment, inflicted by those to whom their

:13:00.:13:03.

care was entrusted. That is a matter of grave concern. So far, 69

:13:04.:13:10.

institutions here have been investigated, from private boarding

:13:11.:13:14.

schools and hospitals, to counsel, church and charity care homes. It is

:13:15.:13:18.

thought thousands suffered abuse as well as neglect by those who were

:13:19.:13:24.

meant to be looking after them. In the first public hearings, churches

:13:25.:13:27.

and charities said sorry to children abused in their care. The Catholic

:13:28.:13:30.

community in Scotland has an overwhelming sense of shame that

:13:31.:13:34.

these abhorrent crimes occurred in the context of the church. And we

:13:35.:13:38.

are doing our utmost to ensure these things cart occur again. Kate Waugh

:13:39.:13:45.

seven when she was taken from Glasgow to Northern Ireland and was

:13:46.:13:49.

abused. She has come back to testify. Most people have got a

:13:50.:13:58.

right to justice. They need to have their voice heard. Don't be

:13:59.:14:04.

frightened to come forward because it's a great feeling afterwards, the

:14:05.:14:08.

feeling of peace within. Survivors are due to give evidence in the

:14:09.:14:11.

months ahead, they are urging thousands more to break their

:14:12.:14:15.

silence to help protect children in care now. Ukip has published its

:14:16.:14:24.

Scottish general election manifesto. It says its priorities are to

:14:25.:14:29.

encourage Scots to stay in Scotland, build their businesses and employ

:14:30.:14:32.

their fellow Scots. The party is fielding ten candidates in Scotland.

:14:33.:14:37.

The message is we want taxes now higher than the rest of the UK to

:14:38.:14:41.

make sure we are competitive. We want to stay in the UK and get out

:14:42.:14:46.

of the EU single market so we can make trade treaties with the world

:14:47.:14:51.

so we can get more jobs because we can do business with the growing

:14:52.:14:55.

areas of the world instead of having to refer to 27 other states and

:14:56.:14:59.

creative treaty that doesn't suit us. Staying with the election

:15:00.:15:07.

campaign and health think tank has warned that tens of thousands of UK

:15:08.:15:13.

pensioners living abroad could come home for NHS treatment unless the

:15:14.:15:17.

Brexit deal secures continued access to EU health care for expats. The

:15:18.:15:25.

Nuffield trust says there are 190,000 UK pensioners living in

:15:26.:15:30.

other EU countries. The UK Government contributes around ?500

:15:31.:15:35.

million a year towards their health care costs. Nuffield estimates it

:15:36.:15:39.

would cost the NHS another ?500 million to look after them if Brexit

:15:40.:15:46.

forced them to return home. On the campaign trail and five, the SNP say

:15:47.:15:52.

health care is a snapshot of Brexit problems to come. We have a

:15:53.:15:56.

government that still can't answer basic questions on what they are

:15:57.:15:59.

seeking to achieve in the law stations and how they're going to

:16:00.:16:03.

help our public services -- negotiations. And our economy deal

:16:04.:16:07.

with it implications. Liberal Democrats said if there is a bad

:16:08.:16:12.

Brexit deal, voter should get the chance to rejected. There are no

:16:13.:16:17.

easy fixes according to Labour's Scottish leader campaigning in

:16:18.:16:21.

Glasgow. This is a sorry mess caused by the Tories's gabble on hard right

:16:22.:16:26.

wing Brexit. If you vote for Labour you have a party focused on jobs,

:16:27.:16:30.

investment in the economy up taking the NHS, that's the difference

:16:31.:16:33.

between Labour and the Tories and that is the real choice in this

:16:34.:16:36.

selection. An Angus, the Conservative leader insisted her

:16:37.:16:40.

party is best placed to negotiate with the EU. This report shows we

:16:41.:16:44.

have to get the Brexit deal right and the election will decide who sit

:16:45.:16:48.

across the table from 27 other European countries to try to get

:16:49.:16:52.

that good deal for Britain. Do you want it to be Theresa May Jeremy

:16:53.:16:57.

Corbyn? Whoever ends up negotiating for UK's citizens living in the EU

:16:58.:17:00.

will probably have to guarantee similar rights to those from EU

:17:01.:17:05.

countries who choose to move to the UK. Time to speak to some

:17:06.:17:11.

politicians in Edinburgh. We have Alex Cole Hamilton and Iain McGill.

:17:12.:17:18.

With me in the studio is Patrick Grady from the SNP and Andy Hilland

:17:19.:17:22.

for Scottish Labour. Good evening to you all and thank you for joining

:17:23.:17:27.

us. What was behind Jeremy Corbyn's change of heart today over the BBC

:17:28.:17:32.

TV debate. Was it a last-minute U-turn on a plan to put pressure on

:17:33.:17:37.

Theresa May? Jeremy Corbyn didn't call this general election but I

:17:38.:17:40.

think it's a challenge he is relishing. He attended to's debate

:17:41.:17:44.

and Theresa May called the general election and is running away from

:17:45.:17:48.

it. Labour is going from strength to strength and underlined Scotland's

:17:49.:17:54.

candidates, it is only Labour candidates that can the Tories. Mr

:17:55.:18:01.

copper face criticism yesterday for not knowing the cost of Labour's

:18:02.:18:07.

pledge for free childcare -- Mr Corbyn. Do you know what the cost

:18:08.:18:11.

is? It doesn't make him look disorganised, I actually think

:18:12.:18:15.

Jeremy Corbyn has put forward a bold and radical manifesto. Should he not

:18:16.:18:18.

know the numbers in his own manifesto? It interesting that

:18:19.:18:22.

Theresa May gives figures mixed up and there is no highlighting of it.

:18:23.:18:26.

Jeremy Corbyn has put forward a manifesto and the majority of people

:18:27.:18:30.

in Scotland can unite behind it, it is investment in public services,

:18:31.:18:34.

skills and the NHS and it addresses poverty which is at shocking levels.

:18:35.:18:38.

Do you know what the childcare is? Not for England. ?2.7 billion. Iain

:18:39.:18:45.

McGill of the Scottish Conservatives, is confidence in

:18:46.:18:49.

Theresa May falling. Some of the polls suggest that there is? Polls

:18:50.:18:54.

are often going to tighten up as elections come closer. In Scotland

:18:55.:19:02.

the polls are tightening and it's within 10% of the SNP. Paul is

:19:03.:19:06.

always tighten as elections come closer. We are very happy and

:19:07.:19:10.

confident in Theresa May and the country that they will make the

:19:11.:19:14.

choice whether they are confident in Theresa May to deliver the Brexit

:19:15.:19:17.

deal the country needs on whether there was a coalition of case

:19:18.:19:20.

wobbling with each other in this debate. Do you trust the coalition

:19:21.:19:27.

of chaos to deliver a strong Brexit on Theresa May? Did that make

:19:28.:19:35.

Theresa May look weak to not turn up? She has been up and down the

:19:36.:19:39.

country, taking questions from the public, more so than Jeremy Corbyn,

:19:40.:19:46.

question Time this week, the sky and Channel 4 debate. We don't need more

:19:47.:19:49.

debates for the country to be deciding who they are going to vote

:19:50.:19:53.

for. She would have a more access to people across the country by being

:19:54.:19:56.

in that debate tonight than she did today. There have been debates, she

:19:57.:20:01.

has done debate and we don't need more debates to see who the country

:20:02.:20:05.

is going to be confident to deliver the Brexit negotiations. We will see

:20:06.:20:12.

next week if they are confident in Theresa May or the rabble that was

:20:13.:20:17.

on the debate tonight. But Scott Alex Cole Hamilton and pick up on

:20:18.:20:22.

one bit in your manifesto which the clarification that you want a

:20:23.:20:26.

referendum on the final terms of the Brexit deal that you continue to

:20:27.:20:29.

oppose a Scottish independence referendum. Why has it changed, what

:20:30.:20:34.

is the difference between the two just because you don't like the

:20:35.:20:38.

answer to one of them? In 2014, the SNP provided detailed manifesto of

:20:39.:20:41.

whatever is vision of independence looked like. The borders of Scotland

:20:42.:20:46.

rejected that. On the 23rd of June last year we saw the Leave camp a

:20:47.:20:50.

manifesto evaporate within hours. A pack of lies. The process started by

:20:51.:20:55.

the British people can only be finished by the British people. We

:20:56.:20:58.

want to give people the option that if it is a bad deal or no deal that

:20:59.:21:02.

they can reject that than have the option to remain in the European

:21:03.:21:07.

Union. There is nothing wrong with that. The changed circumstances this

:21:08.:21:11.

column, why not an opportunity to vote once again on the different

:21:12.:21:14.

circumstances, particularly when it's come from the Scottish

:21:15.:21:19.

Parliament? The Scottish National Party set itself a very high bar and

:21:20.:21:22.

said that actually it would bring forward a second independence

:21:23.:21:32.

referendum. successive opinion polls say it is the last thing that people

:21:33.:21:41.

want. That's the last thing we want to put Scotland through. The

:21:42.:21:46.

Scottish Liberal Democrats are opposing another device of

:21:47.:21:49.

independence referendum but we want to give people a say on the final

:21:50.:21:52.

terms of the Brexit deal because we can't trust that throughout Tubau of

:21:53.:21:58.

politicians. Patrick Grady for the SNP. Your manifesto yesterday stated

:21:59.:22:03.

an easing of the timetable on the second vote. Nicola Sturgeon says it

:22:04.:22:07.

won't happen until the end of the Brexit process. She didn't use those

:22:08.:22:11.

words before, she talked about the date but not those words at the end

:22:12.:22:14.

of the Brexit process. It's always good to be at the end of the Brexit

:22:15.:22:21.

process. That was what Theresa May said the end of the Brexit process

:22:22.:22:25.

would be. Once the Brexit process has come to an end on the terms of

:22:26.:22:28.

the final Brexit settlement are known, it's only right that the

:22:29.:22:31.

people of Scotland should have their say, that they should have a choice.

:22:32.:22:35.

Every other Parliament in Europe will have a final say on the Brexit

:22:36.:22:39.

deal, the House of Commons will have a final say, we think the people of

:22:40.:22:43.

Scotland, who voted 62% to remain in the European Union should have

:22:44.:23:02.

that say. Your manifesto says that winning at least 30 of Scotland 59

:23:03.:23:06.

seats give this triple mandate that you talk about foreign independence

:23:07.:23:08.

referendum. The popular vote in 2015 for the SNP was 50%, what if it

:23:09.:23:11.

falls below that this time? In our system in this country, the party

:23:12.:23:14.

with the most votes and the most seats are the winner of the election

:23:15.:23:16.

and if the SNP wins the election and we are taking nothing for granted.

:23:17.:23:19.

If we win the election next week, it gives us a mandate to take forward

:23:20.:23:22.

proposals in our manifesto to stand up against Tory austerity and

:23:23.:23:24.

against an extreme Tory Brexit and protect and strengthen the powers of

:23:25.:23:29.

the Scottish Government. That's not a mandate.

:23:30.:23:37.

Uefa south of the 50%. You haven't had the 50% mandate in the Scottish

:23:38.:23:46.

parliament. Even with the combined force in the Scottish parliament you

:23:47.:23:51.

haven't got the 50%. It's not a referendum the country once. Noises

:23:52.:23:55.

from the Liberal Democrats, we saw from Angus Roberts, the SNP have

:23:56.:23:59.

been the strong opposition to Tory austerity in the House of Commons.

:24:00.:24:05.

What kind of mandate would be needed? The SNP began this general

:24:06.:24:10.

election campaign saying it wasn't about independence at all but we saw

:24:11.:24:12.

with the launch of the manifesto that there has been a U-turn and

:24:13.:24:17.

they say if they gain a certain number of MPs that will be a mandate

:24:18.:24:22.

for a referendum. I actually think that in this general election, the

:24:23.:24:26.

voters in most consistencies across Scotland have a choice to vote for

:24:27.:24:30.

the SNP and that will be a vote for another independence referendum. You

:24:31.:24:34.

still oppose an indie referendum regardless? The Liberal Democrats

:24:35.:24:40.

pretending to be the party of protecting the union. Jeremy Corbyn

:24:41.:24:45.

said the first thing he would do as Prime Minister is speak to the First

:24:46.:24:48.

Minister about another independence referendum. We are running right out

:24:49.:24:52.

of time, thank you for joining us. Back tomorrow night at 10:30pm. From

:24:53.:24:55.

all of us here, good night. Hello there, good evening, the last

:24:56.:25:12.

day of the meteorological spring today and it was a cracker. Plenty

:25:13.:25:18.

of sunshine and blue sky but tonight the cloud rolling in. It will stay
