:01:01. > :01:03.we speak to. The BBC has learned tonight that
:01:04. > :01:05.a British man pictured in a recruitment video
:01:06. > :01:07.for the Islamic militant group ISIS The man has been named locally
:01:08. > :01:10.as Raqib. In the video, he is seen wearing a
:01:11. > :01:14.white turban with a Kalashnikov in his lap and he is heard preaching
:01:15. > :01:17.the joys of jihad and urging other Read the Koran, you will find out
:01:18. > :01:28.what is jihad. Our correspondent James Cook has
:01:29. > :01:39.spent the day in Aberdeen. People here are shocked. They are
:01:40. > :01:43.shocked to see someone who they knew and remembered as someone who
:01:44. > :01:49.perhaps caused trouble but always, I was told, with his this is rather
:01:50. > :01:54.than anything else, he was not any more violent than that. This man who
:01:55. > :02:01.has been named locally as Raqib. But he was not regarded as a radical.
:02:02. > :02:06.So, there is a sense here that people are shocked, they are shocked
:02:07. > :02:09.at the video, when they see him walking in with the other fighters,
:02:10. > :02:17.when they see them sitting down and talking about radical Islam, urging
:02:18. > :02:22.people to take up arms and to fight for Allah. So, it has undoubtedly
:02:23. > :02:26.been a shocking experience for people in Aberdeen and particularly
:02:27. > :02:29.people in the Muslim community. They insist that they knew nothing about
:02:30. > :02:34.this and they were surprised about it, they say he was last seen he --
:02:35. > :02:37.your couple of years ago, they think he moved to Leicester, but they say
:02:38. > :02:41.they do not know how or where he might have been radicalised. Is
:02:42. > :02:44.there any reason why we should be particularly shocked that some of
:02:45. > :02:47.years ago, they think he moved to Leicester, but they say they do not
:02:48. > :02:49.know how or where he might have been radicalised. Is there any reason why
:02:50. > :02:52.we should be particularly shocked that somebody than any other part of
:02:53. > :02:57.the UK? I don't know. I suppose if there are young Muslim men who feel
:02:58. > :03:00.angry in England, there may well be young Muslim men who feel angry in
:03:01. > :03:06.Scotland or indeed, as we have seen, in Wales. So I think there is a
:03:07. > :03:10.sense of shock, particularly here in Aberdeen, because it is such a
:03:11. > :03:14.tight-knit community. In that sense, it might be more shocking, more
:03:15. > :03:22.surprising, than in a big city like London. Red there, we asked Frank
:03:23. > :03:27.Gardner how big a security risk this poses for Scotland and the UK. --
:03:28. > :03:31.earlier. The longer it goes on, the bigger the threat will be. I think
:03:32. > :03:34.the reason why politicians and police officials are sounding the
:03:35. > :03:40.alarm, it is more an expectation that this is storing up trouble
:03:41. > :03:48.historically. -- historically, people who have gone to fight for
:03:49. > :03:50.jihad, roughly one in nine, when they have returned, have got
:03:51. > :03:55.involved in domestic terrorism. So, if you extrapolate that if 500
:03:56. > :03:59.buttons have gone to fight, there will be a fair number who may
:04:00. > :04:04.possibly somewhere down the line be so violently minded, so
:04:05. > :04:09.pathologically in Europe in the violence of what they have seen and
:04:10. > :04:11.done out there, getting involved in kidnappings and beheadings, that
:04:12. > :04:17.they will be a danger to society when they come back. But as we have
:04:18. > :04:21.heard over the weekend, you cannot monitor everybody. They will have to
:04:22. > :04:25.prioritise. Sooner or later, somebody will make a slip, they will
:04:26. > :04:32.think, actually, we do not have time to monitor him. We will forget about
:04:33. > :04:38.him. And that person is the one who is planning to do something. In
:04:39. > :04:43.terms of Scotland, this is not your first brush with this kind of thing,
:04:44. > :04:48.you had the attack on Glasgow airport, but these are a tiny
:04:49. > :04:53.minority of people, embedded in a peaceful community. So, it is well
:04:54. > :04:54.important not to demonise the rest of that community.
:04:55. > :04:57.An independent Scotland would have almost 100 international embassies
:04:58. > :05:00.Scottish politicians and diplomats would be free to pursue

:05:36. > :05:39.stage, that is the SNP's vision Scotland, but what is the reality
:05:40. > :05:45.for a small, new, independent nation? And are there areas where
:05:46. > :05:47.Scotland, despite its size, can punch above its weight on the
:05:48. > :05:56.International Arena between -- Arena? Scotland already spends ?9
:05:57. > :05:59.million a year on foreign aid, even though international development is
:06:00. > :06:07.reserved to Westminster. More than half goes to Malawi. The Scotland
:06:08. > :06:12.Mullally partnership says it is not just about money. If you were to
:06:13. > :06:16.draw up a list of major donors in Malawi, Scotland would be in the
:06:17. > :06:21.bottom half of the top ten. But looking at the impact that Scotland,
:06:22. > :06:24.the people of Scotland, can have in Malawi, it is far greater than that.
:06:25. > :06:29.I believe there are things you can do, almost because you have less
:06:30. > :06:34.money to put into it. If you can inspire civil society to be
:06:35. > :06:37.involved, if you can build on those long-standing historical and
:06:38. > :06:39.cultural links, if you have a position of genuine trust and
:06:40. > :06:45.friendship with Malawi, there is a lot you can do. Wood-mac what about
:06:46. > :06:49.climate change, area where Scotland sees itself as a world leader? The
:06:50. > :06:53.interesting thing about climate change is that it knows no
:06:54. > :07:01.boundaries. We need to work with other countries, irrespective, the
:07:02. > :07:04.Scottish climate act was set and could be met with the powers
:07:05. > :07:07.devolved to Scotland, but it required Scotland to work with the
:07:08. > :07:12.UK and within Europe to meet those targets. Some of the ways we will
:07:13. > :07:15.make them rely on others to act as well in unison. But will not change.
:07:16. > :07:22.Irrespective of the outcome of the referendum. Academics assessing the
:07:23. > :07:30.proposed foreign policy say it could bring rate of manoeuvrability but
:07:31. > :07:34.greater vulnerability. There's something about small estates being
:07:35. > :07:38.smarter states. If you think about international economy, a small
:07:39. > :07:42.economy, the crisis comes up, it is a smaller boat in the sea, so you
:07:43. > :07:45.can change direction and adapt to changing constraints and conditions
:07:46. > :07:49.a little bit more. On the other hand, if there is a tidal wave
:07:50. > :07:54.coming at you, the small states will get washed over more than a bigger
:07:55. > :07:58.state or a big ship. Without the UK, some warn that Scotland faces
:07:59. > :08:04.serious challenges internationally, in terms of resources, logistics and
:08:05. > :08:07.kudos. As a new nation, experts say Scotland would have to forge new
:08:08. > :08:13.alliances in order to exert influence abroad. Critics say
:08:14. > :08:18.Scotland cannot afford the cost of diplomacy. Yes Scotland say the
:08:19. > :08:20.reverse. I am going to see the diplomatic representative of a small
:08:21. > :08:25.country with a GDP per capita similar to Scotland. Like most small
:08:26. > :08:32.countries, Austria has no position on the Scottish referendum. I would
:08:33. > :08:35.imagine Scotland would be very concerned to make sure that it got
:08:36. > :08:40.the representation right and that it would not necessarily have consoles
:08:41. > :08:47.in every country of the world, it would have representation in many
:08:48. > :08:50.bases but I cannot recollect. Whether Scotland remains within the
:08:51. > :08:54.UK or chooses independence, constraints remain. The biggest will
:08:55. > :09:03.be the difference between what it wants to and can, in reality,
:09:04. > :09:06.deliver. The SNP talks about a do no harm policy. So it's foreign policy
:09:07. > :09:09.should do no harm to developing countries. That is a great principle
:09:10. > :09:14.and letting principles matter a lot, but sometimes your economic
:09:15. > :09:20.prosperity and your security may involve a trade-off. Those are the
:09:21. > :09:27.hard choices that leaders have and that is kind of the art of
:09:28. > :09:35.decision-making. Lucy Adams. I am joined by Humza Yousef, who is in
:09:36. > :09:40.Edinburgh, and Anas Sarwar. Can I ask you first, we may be shocked
:09:41. > :09:44.that this man known as Raqib lest -- left Aberdeen, where he grew up, to
:09:45. > :09:48.go and fight for ISIS, should we be surprised that young men are leaving
:09:49. > :09:52.Scotland to join the jihad? It is a huge surprise to have someone was
:09:53. > :09:56.brought up on freedom and democracy, one of our own, leave you
:09:57. > :10:00.to take part in a situation like that abroad, it brings immense hurt
:10:01. > :10:10.to us in Scotland and also immense concern. We should be practising the
:10:11. > :10:17.people -- the principles we live by. Humza Yousef, what was your reaction
:10:18. > :10:25.to that? Echoing what Anas Sarwar said. Being in and out of mosques in
:10:26. > :10:29.Scotland, I have never come across anyone who has had that kind of view
:10:30. > :10:37.before. It was a huge shock. But the one thing I am certain of is that
:10:38. > :10:39.incidents like this, the Scottish community has not demonised the
:10:40. > :10:43.Muslim community at all. What they have done is pooled around them and
:10:44. > :10:49.I am confident that will happen again. We will not use this as an
:10:50. > :10:53.excuse for any misbehaviour. Let's move on and talk about the idea of
:10:54. > :10:56.an independent Scotland's foreign policy and how it would be operated.
:10:57. > :11:00.Looking at some of the biggest challenges around the world today,
:11:01. > :11:05.in Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, how would an independent Scotland rose-mac
:11:06. > :11:10.policy differ from the UK's current one? Where we agree with the UK
:11:11. > :11:16.Government, instead of having one strong voice and opinion, there will
:11:17. > :11:21.be two of them. So, in Iraq, I was on the phone today to a Foreign
:11:22. > :11:25.Office, North Minister, there was not any difference in terms of how
:11:26. > :11:30.you approach the situation. Instead of having one country, you would
:11:31. > :11:36.have to countries making that contribution. Where we agree, there
:11:37. > :11:41.would be a stronger voice, but we disagree on the Iraq war, and many
:11:42. > :11:46.other situations. But we would have the chance to take a different path.
:11:47. > :11:49.You have to go back to 2003 divine something you disagree with? Where
:11:50. > :11:56.would you take a different line now? When I was Minister for axed --
:11:57. > :12:02.external affairs, I wrote to William Hague as the Foreign Secretary and
:12:03. > :12:05.suggested that when the vote for Palestinian statehood came up, the
:12:06. > :12:09.UK should support it but the UK choose to abstain, which I thought
:12:10. > :12:17.was wrong. So, there have been recent examples as well. IPod is
:12:18. > :12:20.full, when you disagree, we could charter on power and have
:12:21. > :12:24.Scotland's voice at the topple -- top of the table. Where we agree
:12:25. > :12:30.with the UK, you get two voices that are stronger, than mostly just one.
:12:31. > :12:36.Would anybody be listening to the voice of an independent Scotland? I
:12:37. > :12:38.think he oversaw the opposite. At the moment, people listen to
:12:39. > :12:42.Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland because together
:12:43. > :12:48.collectively, we have a much stronger voice in the world. We are
:12:49. > :12:54.a G20 country, we have a seat at the top table in NATO and the EU, in the
:12:55. > :12:57.UN Security Council, something we we won't not have this column was
:12:58. > :13:01.independent. And you talk about the challenges the world faces. Yes, we
:13:02. > :13:06.face immense challenges around climate change, that does not
:13:07. > :13:09.recognise borders. We face immense challenges around global poverty.
:13:10. > :13:17.Through the UK partnership we are part of the most successful
:13:18. > :13:21.partnership in the world. There is a budget of ?10 billion, that is
:13:22. > :13:26.Scotland not just being part of the UK, it is Scotland leading the UK
:13:27. > :13:30.and Scotland shipping the world, not showing away from it. That is the
:13:31. > :13:33.role I want Scotland to play, not a smaller role, but to lead the world
:13:34. > :13:38.and change the world like Scots have always done. It is tempting when you
:13:39. > :13:41.look at some of the more intractable problems on the world stage to look
:13:42. > :13:46.at going in with a clean slate. The UK Government said it was opening
:13:47. > :13:49.its in the -- its embassy in Iran. Scotland could be in there as an
:13:50. > :13:52.honest broker, dealing with countries without all the baggage
:13:53. > :14:00.that comes with generations of UK foreign policy. Mata-mac you talk
:14:01. > :14:03.about infrastructure, the more we share infrastructure, we share costs
:14:04. > :14:08.and benefits of having international embassies and consulates across the
:14:09. > :14:19.world. Why would we want to set up two separate ones? It would
:14:20. > :14:25.startling costs to the UK. Let's not try and pretend that Scotland is the
:14:26. > :14:29.victim of previous wrongs of the British Empire. Scotland was at the
:14:30. > :14:37.heart of the British Empire. Let's not pretend we are part of a protest
:14:38. > :14:41.vote. I opposed Iraq. I stood beside them protesting against Iraq. This
:14:42. > :14:44.is not about the right or wrong decision ten years ago it is about
:14:45. > :14:49.what is right for our children today and our children ten years ago. I
:14:50. > :14:54.genuinely believe that Scotland having a bigger voice in the world
:14:55. > :14:57.and not a diminished one, and we would be diminished, as would wheels
:14:58. > :15:03.and Northern Ireland, Scotland chose to walk away. Both of you say that
:15:04. > :15:06.you disagreed with the decision to invade Iraq but there will be
:15:07. > :15:12.occasions when Titans and spectators must be challenged. The cause of
:15:13. > :15:15.what they are doing and in their own countries and over their borders. An
:15:16. > :15:21.independent Scotland could not stand up to them as effectively as the UK
:15:22. > :15:26.can. That is incorrect. You operate under the security under a lot of
:15:27. > :15:33.little or the UN. I take a exception to what was said. He uses the words
:15:34. > :15:38.as being too small. I do not think Scotland is too small. Where the
:15:39. > :15:43.over simplify the matter is that he says Scotland has a voice at the top
:15:44. > :15:48.table. Scotland does not. In my over one year and a half in being the
:15:49. > :15:55.Minister for external affairs never once has the UK Government called me
:15:56. > :15:59.to ask what the people want. The reality as... I did not interrupt
:16:00. > :16:04.you so allow me to finish. Malcom Exocet been at the top table does
:16:05. > :16:08.not make you a diner, eating the food does. Adding your own voice, we
:16:09. > :16:16.would be a peaceful contribution. We agree with Yuki having a strong
:16:17. > :16:19.voice and being a global player for peace and you are correct in
:16:20. > :16:25.pointing out UK foreign policy over several years and it has been a
:16:26. > :16:31.foreign policy that has been accused of double standards. 20 years ago we
:16:32. > :16:37.were training people and giving them weapons in Afghanistan. Scotland
:16:38. > :16:41.could be in a position to not be loaded with this baggage.
:16:42. > :16:43.Film maker Anthony Baxter has spent years in pursuit
:16:44. > :16:45.of the controversial American billionaire Donald Trump.
:16:46. > :16:48.His first film about The Donald got him arrested before it won him
:16:49. > :16:52.Now, his sequel, A Dangerous Game, is about to premiere at the

:16:59. > :17:14.She made legal threat against the BBC when they showed the film and
:17:15. > :17:18.you said it was defamatory. It was. The tone was so one-sided and one
:17:19. > :17:26.reason I agreed to do the interview was that no one was available to
:17:27. > :17:33.speak up for our side. You never ask anyone from our side. Kill Matthew
:17:34. > :17:38.never let us speak to you. The police obviously had a good reason
:17:39. > :17:44.to do what they do. You have used your own private security force. No
:17:45. > :17:49.one from our side was asked for an opinion or give an opinion. I am
:17:50. > :17:52.sure it would not have been put in any way. I am sure that my answers
:17:53. > :17:57.will be cut short and highly inaccurate which is why I have the
:17:58. > :18:03.camera watching us. Anthony Baxter is with us now. You finally got to
:18:04. > :18:09.confront him after years of trying. How was it? It was important to be
:18:10. > :18:12.able to put to Mr Trump the questions I have been denied the
:18:13. > :18:17.opportunity to put to him. Questions local residents wanted to ask, they
:18:18. > :18:23.have spent years being the lead and harassed by his organisation. This
:18:24. > :18:28.was an opportunity to do that. It was disappointing making the film,
:18:29. > :18:32.we ask for an interview with Alexander as well and that was the
:18:33. > :18:37.night. It is important that we have these opportunities to put people in
:18:38. > :18:41.power, the rich and powerful and our politicians to hold them to account
:18:42. > :18:45.for decisions that have been very questionable. Double strong
:18:46. > :18:50.challenges you and says that your film making is one-sided. I
:18:51. > :18:55.understand it is a polemic but it does not represent the point of view
:18:56. > :19:00.of people who support what the is doing and the jobs that he has
:19:01. > :19:03.created would be to this and he has brought in. Is the correct in saying
:19:04. > :19:09.you are only taking one side of the our timid? Mr Trump promised 6000
:19:10. > :19:15.jobs. That was in my bod by the Scottish Government. In reality
:19:16. > :19:18.fewer than 200 jobs were created. It is very questionable, the amount of
:19:19. > :19:25.economic prosperity that has been brought to an area that has less
:19:26. > :19:28.than 1% of employment. We did work very hard to beat the other side of
:19:29. > :19:32.the story in the film and we did in the first film, but it is very
:19:33. > :19:38.difficult when the Scottish Government will not give you an
:19:39. > :19:43.interview. The Trump organisation did not do an interview. Here they
:19:44. > :19:49.finally did it. Has he seen the film? The accused you there, saying
:19:50. > :19:54.he did not think he would cut your interview fairly. He has not seen it
:19:55. > :19:57.as far as I know but as you saw the happy camera on the whole interview
:19:58. > :20:05.so he will no doubt but that online when the film comes out. Of course
:20:06. > :20:11.we will not run the whole interview of Mr Trump so we have to edit. He
:20:12. > :20:17.has announced that he will not build the second golf course. Is that the
:20:18. > :20:26.victory? The local people think it is a victory. Let's remember what
:20:27. > :20:32.was promised and what was delivered. The economic prosperity that was
:20:33. > :20:36.promised has not been delivered. He has essentially walked away from
:20:37. > :20:41.that development, he has recently announced since we finished the film
:20:42. > :20:44.that he is promising a ?100 million investment there but that figure has
:20:45. > :20:48.not been scrutinised by the journalists covering the story. It
:20:49. > :20:55.is time these kinds of numbers are questioned. Thank you very much.
:20:56. > :21:08.Let's hope that the next thing he is here that The Donald will come for
:21:09. > :21:11.an interview. France 24 reports a cease-fire in

:21:42. > :21:54.the Syrenians charity and Natalie Let's start with the Al Jazeera
:21:55. > :22:00.story. Al-Jazeera said the news by tweets themselves saying that
:22:01. > :22:05.journalism was under fire. Is this an important moment? It is crucial.
:22:06. > :22:09.The lifeblood of any democracy is the scrutiny of journalists and we
:22:10. > :22:12.have just seen an example of that in your previous section and it is very
:22:13. > :22:17.important that we make sure it is not only journalists fighting this
:22:18. > :22:23.campaign but all of us. And not just about what happens in injured but
:22:24. > :22:28.the world. The BBC treated a response saying that they regretted,
:22:29. > :22:34.devastated, dumbfounded and shattered. We care about this a lot
:22:35. > :22:36.because we know these people. We have worked with them and we can
:22:37. > :22:41.imagine being in their circumstances. Is this a media
:22:42. > :22:46.obsession or is it great that it matters when journalists are treated
:22:47. > :22:51.this way? It is not the media. It is the fact that democracy is under
:22:52. > :22:57.fire from the actions of the courts in Egypt. We must be very concerned
:22:58. > :23:01.about the distance between the judiciary and also the parliament
:23:02. > :23:08.and what is going on in the gym. Obviously the key to a democracy is
:23:09. > :23:10.being able to criticise and broadcast around the world what is
:23:11. > :23:15.happening in their own country. If that is not happening then we must
:23:16. > :23:17.be very concerned. You must be concern about the role that the West
:23:18. > :23:21.is playing in situations like this, we just found out in the last few
:23:22. > :23:24.days that America has almost restored normal international
:23:25. > :23:30.relations with Egypt's even aware of this trial has been ongoing. We are
:23:31. > :23:32.concerned that they are again rearming what was once a
:23:33. > :23:37.democratically elected government but which is showing itself to be
:23:38. > :23:43.using the same types of oppression in the media that has gone before.
:23:44. > :23:45.We must be concerned about the role that Western governments are taking
:23:46. > :23:53.and how they react to the situation. We must take a strong line and
:23:54. > :23:59.encourage the diplomatic restructuring. We will continue to
:24:00. > :24:06.die attention to us. The BBC intends to have one-minute silence and
:24:07. > :24:09.tomorrow. We hear a lot of protests from media organisations but less
:24:10. > :24:14.from the British government. The British and American governments
:24:15. > :24:20.must look at how they handle it. John Kerry announced have $1 billion
:24:21. > :24:26.in military aid. There is about ?50 million worth of militarily
:24:27. > :24:29.economics going on between Britain and Egypt's and we must challenge
:24:30. > :24:36.that. We must change the way in which we make our eight, pushed
:24:37. > :24:43.change. Particularly around developing civic democracy.
:24:44. > :24:49.Let's move on the topic here, there will be a debate between Alex
:24:50. > :24:51.Salmond and Alistair Darling. Salmond had an STV debates
:24:52. > :24:55.disappointingly with Alistair Darling on Scottish independence.
:24:56. > :25:01.This will be a great moment. Who will win? We must stop talking about
:25:02. > :25:05.the debate, although it is balanced of the BBC to advertise the STV
:25:06. > :25:09.debates, because the real debates have been happening not between
:25:10. > :25:16.individuals in a TV experience but right across the country. I chaired
:25:17. > :25:19.by yesterday. That was really good because he got to the nitty-gritty
:25:20. > :25:23.about what people were concerned about and I have seen them across
:25:24. > :25:26.the country. That is the positive thing that has come out of this.
:25:27. > :25:29.That is what we should celebrate as opposed to who will win one
:25:30. > :25:35.conversation between two particular figures. It will be a big moment.
:25:36. > :25:41.The Telegraph said that Alex Salmond is the firm favourite with Ladbrokes
:25:42. > :25:47.odds of 1-2 on Salmond and 6-4 on Alistair Darling. I am disappointed
:25:48. > :25:54.that there is a debate between two men at the top of their game because
:25:55. > :25:57.reading the yes part for the SNP has been Nicola Sturgeon has been
:25:58. > :26:02.excellent. I would have liked to have seen her go head-to-head with
:26:03. > :26:08.someone. In terms of Alistair Darling I think that better together
:26:09. > :26:11.have overplayed it, they did not believe that Alex Salmond would so
:26:12. > :26:15.to speak for himself to debate someone with no legislative power. I
:26:16. > :26:19.think the SNP have been clever about this. Darling is damaged by his own
:26:20. > :26:27.party at the moment, Gordon Brown has undermined some of his
:26:28. > :26:31.proposals. And within better together the Conservatives have
:26:32. > :26:35.kicked contemn as well. At this point in time it could be a clever
:26:36. > :26:47.move by the SNP to clear the deck and take out Alistair Darling in a
:26:48. > :26:54.debate. Takeout Alistair. That then read the situation where they can
:26:55. > :26:57.go, what is the next debate and can be Prime Minister avoids doing that?
:26:58. > :27:02.How will echo what UN has said and that's the big thing has been the
:27:03. > :27:06.democratisation of society. The yes camp has been very open to meetings
:27:07. > :27:10.right across Scotland and there have been many debates which have been
:27:11. > :27:14.some of the most enthusiastic that I have seen in the past two years.
:27:15. > :27:19.Could it be a turning point? I don't. The turning points will be in
:27:20. > :27:26.the individual conversations with people who say you think this and I
:27:27. > :27:29.think that. We cannot build a nation on a conversation between two
:27:30. > :27:33.high-profile figures we must build on building communities and building
:27:34. > :27:38.conversations at a local level. That will make the difference.
:27:39. > :27:40.I'll be back at the same time tomorrow night.
:27:41. > :27:43.In the meantime, you can keep an eye on all the latest developments
