That's it. Minister made clear she would not

agree to the request. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she has no

plans to go to court in an attempt to break the deadlock. And during

her visit to America but she was asked if she ruled out having an

early Holyrood election. I also think it is right that at the right

time, Scotland does not have our future direction as a country

imposed on us but that we get to choose that. These kind of scenarios

which are put to me are not the ones I am thinking of, but I do have an

idea of how we progress the will of Parliament, but without teasing too

much on that, I will set it out to Parliament in due course. Never mind

the election pub I think the First Minister has to go even further, and

take the threat of an unwanted second referendum on Scottish

independence of the table. The people of Scotland Cindy do not want

it, they do not want to go through the division of yet another

referendum campaign. Meanwhile, the First Minister has announced a

collaboration between the US website First Minister has announced a

TripAdvisor and visit Scotland, which could generate ?150 million

for the economy. So what does this partnership actually mean? Visit

Scotland will be able to upload its content onto the website of

TripAdvisor directly. As a result, content onto the website of

Scottish tourism will potentially have a new audience of 70 million

people. The latest figures show just under 14.9 million overnight

visitors and 124 million day trips are made in Scotland, generating ?9

billion for the economy. For these people on holiday in Glasgow,

Scotland is well worth a visit. It's a beautiful place, the people are

very friendly, the facilities are very good. The architecture, it's

really... I like the contrast, basically. The people here in

Scotland are so kind. I've travelled more in Scotland in the last 30

years than I have done in the rest of the world.

Well, it's over to Kawser now, for the weather outlook

Good evening to you all. It has been a beautiful day for most of us, with

plenty of sunshine. Some lovely skies here in Lossiemouth earlier in

the day. Plenty of clear spells as we head into the evening for all

except for the very far north, the Northern Ireland is, still cloudy

and Dampier and breezy. Dexter is dipping down to around 4-7 C.

Tomorrow, it starts dry, especially further towards the east. But then

rain comes in from the north-west and some of it will be heavy at
