:03:08. > :03:12.echoed many of Nicola Sturgeon's arguments about what it would mean
:03:13. > :03:17.for Scotland. We are a European country and we will stay a European
:03:18. > :03:22.country. If that means we have to have an independence referendum is

:04:07. > :04:14.maintain the links with the European Union. A short time ago I spoke to
:04:15. > :04:18.the Scottish minister for Europe. You have been meeting members of
:04:19. > :04:21.European nations in Scotland today. What have they told you? I have the
:04:22. > :04:27.chance today to meet with mems of the Polish committee in Scotland and
:04:28. > :04:31.also people from the Portuguese community. In both cases, the main
:04:32. > :04:37.theme arising was uncertainty. People were uncertain about their
:04:38. > :04:42.future, their right of residency, their ability to hire staff, about
:04:43. > :04:46.what would happen to the freedom of movement of people. Would I
:04:47. > :04:49.continue? Would access to a free European market continue? These are
:04:50. > :04:53.all questions they were and sink and unfortunately, there are questions
:04:54. > :04:58.the UK Government has not offered answers to. And we died of racist
:04:59. > :05:08.incidents down south. Any similar thing happening here in Scotland? --
:05:09. > :05:14.we heard of racist incidents. No. I think it is fair to say that members
:05:15. > :05:23.of the EU nation communities within Scotland feel hurt and distressed in
:05:24. > :05:28.some cases by what has been going on and by the tone of the debate. I do
:05:29. > :05:35.not see any evidence at the moment of outbreaks of real unpleasant
:05:36. > :05:38.behaviour, but we are not complacent about that, we don't imagine
:05:39. > :05:43.Scotland is immune from this in any way. Certainly, it is not something
:05:44. > :05:48.we want to tolerate in a way. We know Scotland wants to try to
:05:49. > :05:53.maintain its links with the European Union and there's been an
:05:54. > :05:58.interesting approach from brought and they want to maintain some kind
:05:59. > :06:02.of link with the EU. What has been happening there? What exactly could
:06:03. > :06:07.be planned? It is too early to anticipate. The approach was made I
:06:08. > :06:12.their chief minister to the Scottish Government and that is something I
:06:13. > :06:17.know they will respond to. But there is no formal Scottish response to
:06:18. > :06:21.that situation. What I understand from the point of view of the
:06:22. > :06:24.residents there, but difficult stash might be the vote has been
:06:25. > :06:28.difficult. I think the theme that was coming through today though was
:06:29. > :06:31.that people were volunteering information to me that they wanted
:06:32. > :06:36.to stay in the European Union, that they wanted Scotland to stay in the
:06:37. > :06:40.European Union for their businesses, families and their future. To that
:06:41. > :06:45.end, Nicola Sturgeon says she wants to maintain those links. Will she
:06:46. > :06:48.have some with. Tour of European capitals like David Cameron did when
:06:49. > :06:54.he was trying to have that renegotiation? , Certainly engaging
:06:55. > :06:59.at all levels. Today, I met the consular call in Edinburgh and had a
:07:00. > :07:03.frank discussion with them about some of the issues we were talking
:07:04. > :07:08.about. I am sure there will be a Government engagement with
:07:09. > :07:12.representatives of European countries in Scotland. I am sure
:07:13. > :07:17.there will be a programme of events. We are in early days, but this is
:07:18. > :07:21.all being planned. So you are proactively seeking these types of
:07:22. > :07:26.talks? The Government has made it clear we want to keep up every
:07:27. > :07:29.possible channel of medication whether consular, diplomatic or
:07:30. > :07:33.Government to Government. We want to make sure that in the coming months,
:07:34. > :07:36.all channels of communication are kept up with our European partners
:07:37. > :07:41.and with the European Union. D within the First Minister will want
:07:42. > :07:44.to meet with the president of the commission as well? I can't
:07:45. > :07:47.speculate what will go in her diary, but I do note that the First
:07:48. > :07:53.Minister herself is committed to this process, this conversation. As
:07:54. > :07:56.part of the conversation, the Cabinet Secretary for the rural
:07:57. > :08:08.economy was meeting ministers in Luxembourg today. He named their
:08:09. > :08:12.money was speaking to Reuters. He says that over the past 24-hour,
:08:13. > :08:17.senior officials in Europe have said they'd like to see Scotland as the
:08:18. > :08:21.28th member states. Is that they are planning to give names. Would you
:08:22. > :08:25.like to give us some names of these officials who may want to see an
:08:26. > :08:31.independent Scotland in the EU? You won't be surprised to know I'm not
:08:32. > :08:35.going to speculate and named names of individuals further than has been
:08:36. > :08:40.talked about so far. I'm not into position to do that. But the
:08:41. > :08:46.Scottish Government has shown leadership in this matter and the
:08:47. > :08:49.situation in which the UK Parliament is in disarray with pretty much
:08:50. > :08:54.everything, but the Scottish Government has, I think, been
:08:55. > :08:58.praised for the fact we have a clear stands on Europe which is that we
:08:59. > :09:02.value the contribution of people from other countries who have made
:09:03. > :09:04.Scotland at their home and we want Scotland to remain in the EU and
:09:05. > :09:10.that the Government will keep open every option to discuss ways to find
:09:11. > :09:14.a solution that will ensure that happens. The people I've been
:09:15. > :09:17.speaking to today, people are running businesses in Scotland,
:09:18. > :09:22.people who've made Scotland their home are unambiguous that they see
:09:23. > :09:25.the solution to their problems as being Scotland remaining within the
:09:26. > :09:31.European Union. But the outlook for this diplomatic mission is maybe not
:09:32. > :09:35.terribly good in a way and I suppose you've got the referendum as the
:09:36. > :09:39.last resort as the First Minister was saying yesterday. And I suppose
:09:40. > :09:43.that is maybe what you are looking at, a referendum, at the end of the
:09:44. > :09:47.day? The First Minister has made plain that we need to defend
:09:48. > :09:52.Scotland's interest and everything we do will be based around that. We
:09:53. > :09:56.recognise the skull and's interests are being served by the European
:09:57. > :10:04.Union and therefore as the First Minister said, everything is on the
:10:05. > :10:08.course of this week with Parliament meetings to reach out across as
:10:09. > :10:11.miniature additional political divide in Scotland as we can to make
:10:12. > :10:16.clear everything is on the table and up for discussion. The aim and hope
:10:17. > :10:20.we all share is that Scotland remains entering the connection and
:10:21. > :10:25.benefits from a connection we have with Europe. You mention Parliament
:10:26. > :10:27.and that emotion on Europe will be debated tomorrow and you're looking
:10:28. > :10:32.at support from Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens. Does that add to
:10:33. > :10:36.your case? I think it strengthens the argument we are making, that
:10:37. > :10:43.Scotland has clearly voted to remain in the EU. That is not some position
:10:44. > :10:47.that has just been arrived at by one political party. It is a cross-party
:10:48. > :10:50.consensus. I hope it is building around the position that Scotland
:10:51. > :10:56.has a voice, they have expressed their view, not only did 62% of
:10:57. > :10:59.people in Scotland vote to remain in the European Union, but
:11:00. > :11:04.impressively, every single region in Scotland voted to Remain. I hope
:11:05. > :11:13.that is reflected in the tone of what we debate in Parliament this
:11:14. > :11:16.week. Speaking of tone and away you go about this, the First Minister
:11:17. > :11:18.gave an interview yesterday and there were differing views about
:11:19. > :11:21.what she was trying to say. Perhaps the clearest thing was she was
:11:22. > :11:23.looking to frustrate Brexit legislation in the Scottish
:11:24. > :11:28.parliament is coming from Westminster. Do you think you are
:11:29. > :11:31.looking maybe at those delaying tactics? Some of the questions asked
:11:32. > :11:40.at the weekend were around specific things to do with letters of consent
:11:41. > :11:44.Motion is to use the jargon... But addition that the Scottish
:11:45. > :11:48.Parliament has to have its consent sought when legislation is put
:11:49. > :11:51.through by Westminster that affect the rights and responsibilities of
:11:52. > :11:56.the Scottish parliament and affect areas that are under devolved
:11:57. > :11:59.combatants. There's a whole legal and constitutional debate to be had
:12:00. > :12:04.around that. It is right that we raise the issue, that the Scottish
:12:05. > :12:08.parliament will have a view in this and even the Prime Minister has
:12:09. > :12:11.access to the Scottish Government and other devolved governments will
:12:12. > :12:12.have a view in this and they have a right to be heard and they will be
:12:13. > :12:14.heard this week. So many questions
:12:15. > :12:16.following the vote. David Bell, professor of economics
:12:17. > :12:32.at the University of Stirling. Good evening. Thank you for joining
:12:33. > :12:38.me. Have you ever seen a shot like this? No, this is unprecedented. In
:12:39. > :12:45.my reasonably long lifetime I've seen nothing like this. We have had
:12:46. > :12:52.a big hit on domestic stocks which hits People's pension funds. We have
:12:53. > :12:58.had the US dollar pound at the exchange rate and drop by 11%. We've
:12:59. > :13:06.also lost our triple-A rating as far as bonds and Government that is
:13:07. > :13:09.concerned. We've seen Boris Johnson trying to make light of what has
:13:10. > :13:14.been happening on the stock markets. Should he be listened to in that
:13:15. > :13:19.sense? Not particularly. The stock market is a mixture of companies
:13:20. > :13:29.which work mostly overseas and some of which do quite well when the
:13:30. > :13:31.pound falls. But the domestic companies, their valuations have
:13:32. > :13:36.been falling and that affects peoples pensions. If you had one
:13:37. > :13:45.before, it is likely it is worth less now. You mention premonitions,
:13:46. > :13:46.what about mortgages and general prices in the shops, petrol prices
:13:47. > :13:57.and so on? The foreign exchange rate will come
:13:58. > :14:01.through quite quickly. More slowly into food prices. We will see a rise
:14:02. > :14:07.in the rate of inflation compared with where it has been the past few
:14:08. > :14:12.years. That may be an opportunity for businesses in Scotland and
:14:13. > :14:17.elsewhere, because British, Scottish goods will be cheaper relative to
:14:18. > :14:20.those from overseas. You were watching Alasdair Allan from the
:14:21. > :14:25.Scottish Government, trying to maintain link with the European
:14:26. > :14:30.Union, the Scottish Government, maybe keeping trade links if there
:14:31. > :14:36.is Brexit, how possible do you think that is? It will be tricky, I am not
:14:37. > :14:41.an expert in constitutional law, but my reading is it will be difficult.
:14:42. > :14:48.There is a precedent, the Greenland, Denmark case and so on. But quite
:14:49. > :14:54.different from the Scottish case. It remains to be seen but my guess is
:14:55. > :14:59.it will be difficult. I said to Alasdair Allan, last resort, if the
:15:00. > :15:02.attempt does not work, another referendum on independence, which
:15:03. > :15:09.was clear in the manifesto. Looking at the economy of Scotland, how
:15:10. > :15:13.might an independent Scotland fare under Brexit, but being able to stay
:15:14. > :15:20.in the EU if possible? It would be tricky. We are in a difficult fiscal
:15:21. > :15:27.situation because of the fall in the oil price. Last year the deficit was
:15:28. > :15:34.14.9 billion. 9.7% of Scottish GDP. If you go into the EU, the rules say
:15:35. > :15:39.generally that you have to commit to joining the euro and if you commit
:15:40. > :15:46.to joining the euro, you have to pay what is called the Maastricht
:15:47. > :15:52.criteria -- ovate. The deficit must be no more than 3% of GDP. It would
:15:53. > :15:59.mean Scotland has to find a ground ?10 billion worth less public
:16:00. > :16:06.spending it currently has. Some of the imputed stuff like defence,
:16:07. > :16:11.which is not really happening in Scotland, 3 billion of that.
:16:12. > :16:17.Scotland by not have defence forces. It is not a real cost at the minute.
:16:18. > :16:22.We might refuse to take any debt, which would have consequences. It
:16:23. > :16:29.would save another 2.7 billion. If you are looking for ?10 billion in
:16:30. > :16:36.total, in terms of a cut, to put it in perspective, that is worth 70% of
:16:37. > :16:40.the welfare budget, all spending on state pensions, unemployment
:16:41. > :16:45.benefits, these issues. I suppose it depends on timing whether Scotland
:16:46. > :16:50.could be independent in the EU or whether it would have to reapply but
:16:51. > :16:56.if Scotland was independent in the EU, there could be benefits in terms
:16:57. > :17:01.of financial services. One thing to say is the oil price might recover
:17:02. > :17:07.which would make the finances of Scotland look better but it is true
:17:08. > :17:11.if Scotland was part of the EU, it might, and England not, there might
:17:12. > :17:15.be an opportunity to attract business from south of the border
:17:16. > :17:22.into a comparable business climate in Scotland. That is the key for
:17:23. > :17:28.Scotland, the oil price. If this had been three years ago we would have
:17:29. > :17:30.looked at a positive scenario? Yes, and the fall in the exchange rate
:17:31. > :17:39.should help the North Sea because its costs are mainly in Stirling and
:17:40. > :17:46.they have fallen relative to output price. Oil is always priced in
:17:47. > :17:51.dollars. The fall in sterling should give encouragement to the Grampian
:17:52. > :17:56.area and North Sea in general. I suppose nobody knows what will
:17:57. > :18:01.happen but what are the future prospects for the UK and the rest of
:18:02. > :18:06.the EU? How much of an impact will Brexit have on the rest of the EU? I
:18:07. > :18:15.suspect it will have a negative impact. Erecting barriers to trade,
:18:16. > :18:20.even to movement of people, will tend to make economies less
:18:21. > :18:29.efficient and over the long run, I would expect, and a lot of other
:18:30. > :18:33.commentators have seen, or forecast, is diminished prospects, both for
:18:34. > :18:41.the EU as a whole, maybe not that much of the change, but a small
:18:42. > :18:44.change, and some reduction in the UK's economic prospects. Professor
:18:45. > :18:46.David Bell, we will have to leave it there. Thanks.
:18:47. > :18:48.As we've been hearing, it's been another turbulent day,
:18:49. > :18:50.to put it mildly, for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
:18:51. > :18:54.He faces a vote on a motion of no confidence by his MPs tomorrow.
:18:55. > :18:56.More than two thirds of his Shadow Cabinet have
:18:57. > :19:03.now resigned, including the Shadow Business Secretary Angela Eagle.
:19:04. > :19:10.She explained her decision to the BBC. By ink Jeremy in the best
:19:11. > :19:16.interests of the party needs to stand down. We don't serve our party
:19:17. > :19:20.or the interests of some of the poorest in our communities by being
:19:21. > :19:30.a Labour Party that cannot win an election. You are finding this very
:19:31. > :19:38.difficult? Yes. I feel I have served in the best way I can and today I
:19:39. > :19:45.had to go. If there are members of Parliament,
:19:46. > :19:49.or members of the party, who disagree with Jeremy and his
:19:50. > :19:57.policies upon which he was elected, it is open to them under our
:19:58. > :20:04.Constitution to seek another election. But let me make it clear.
:20:05. > :20:07.If there is another leadership election, Jeremy Corbyn will be
:20:08. > :20:09.standing again and I will be supporting him.
:20:10. > :20:12.The Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell there, defending Jeremy Corbyn

:20:16. > :20:20.Joining me are Stewart Paterson, who's political correspondent
:20:21. > :20:27.And the political commentator David Torrance.
:20:28. > :20:40.Good evening. A lot to talk about after a busy weekend. Labour, let's
:20:41. > :20:45.pick up on that. What on earth is happening, why is Jeremy Corbyn may
:20:46. > :20:51.be thinking he can stay on still? He had a huge majority of members when
:20:52. > :20:55.elected, over 60%. No one came near him in the last election and he is
:20:56. > :21:02.thinking he can win it again. He knew this day was coming, maybe a
:21:03. > :21:07.year or two down the line, but with the prospect of a general election
:21:08. > :21:12.sooner that is why people have gone against him. He will let the members
:21:13. > :21:17.make the decision again. Looking at the seams. Fire Brigade 's union
:21:18. > :21:22.fire engine outside Westminster, utterly defiant. John McDonnell was
:21:23. > :21:27.perhaps mortified. He said today in the House of Commons, which was
:21:28. > :21:31.quite remarkable and strange, at the same time trying to attack the
:21:32. > :21:36.Tories, having a go at the people behind him were plotting against him
:21:37. > :21:40.when at that point you should keeping his fire for the
:21:41. > :21:45.Conservatives. He knew it was coming and he is ready, whether he can
:21:46. > :21:49.survive is another matter. I can't see him stepping down soon.
:21:50. > :21:54.Backbenchers shook their heads when he made the comment alluded to. Some
:21:55. > :22:00.wonder whether he would be allowed to stand. I think there is little
:22:01. > :22:04.argument. It has come to a pretty pass when the Leader of the
:22:05. > :22:08.Opposition has to consult lawyers about his position. There seems to
:22:09. > :22:12.be a dispute between whether he would be automatically on the ballot
:22:13. > :22:16.and Labour has a similar system to the Conservatives with the
:22:17. > :22:20.Parliamentary party selecting candidates and it is put to the
:22:21. > :22:24.membership. Remember he only got on the ballot last time because some
:22:25. > :22:28.Labour MPs who did not support him thought it a good idea to have a
:22:29. > :22:37.debate, it was an accident. If he does not end up on again, he cannot
:22:38. > :22:41.be elected and grassroots support becomes irrelevant. If people think
:22:42. > :22:48.they have been deprived of the leader they like you have an issue.
:22:49. > :22:54.One was saying to Corbyn's supporters, if you don't like it you
:22:55. > :23:01.should look elsewhere. There will be the vote of no confidence. That is a
:23:02. > :23:05.sign the Parliamentary Labour Party don't get what is happening in the
:23:06. > :23:12.wider country. A small band of MPs think they can overturn the
:23:13. > :23:15.democratic result of the grassroots party membership. They want to hold
:23:16. > :23:22.a secret ballot to force Jeremy Corbyn out, this is what is
:23:23. > :23:26.happening in the past years in politics the way the public are not
:23:27. > :23:33.happy. They do not seem to be listening. The Conservatives having
:23:34. > :23:40.their problems stop when it comes to leadership. Briefly on that. A
:23:41. > :23:43.similar situation. Boris Johnson does not have strong support in the
:23:44. > :23:51.Parliamentary party but clearly potentially large support in the
:23:52. > :23:54.grassroots. The Stop Boris movement coordinated one suspects by the
:23:55. > :23:57.Prime Minister and possibly the Chancellor. Again that a similar
:23:58. > :24:04.situation if the membership in the country feel their preferred
:24:05. > :24:11.candidate is taken away, they won't be happy. And there could be added
:24:12. > :24:16.election, the new leader, the 1922 Committee decided a timetable, new
:24:17. > :24:22.leader by September. Could there be an October election? I think it is a
:24:23. > :24:26.bit quick to have an election. If not October, probably into the New
:24:27. > :24:29.Year and looking at the spring. They would have to call it straightaway
:24:30. > :24:35.as soon as a new leader was announced. That would probably the
:24:36. > :24:39.right thing to do if there is a new Conservative leader and you are
:24:40. > :24:43.Prime Minister, especially after the EU referendum, you should get a
:24:44. > :24:48.mandate for what proposals you want to take forward to take Britain out
:24:49. > :24:55.of the EU, or even if they want to keep Britain in the EU. Nicola
:24:56. > :24:59.Sturgeon, as we spoke to Alasdair Allan about, maybe she will have
:25:00. > :25:03.that charm offensive around the constant looking for support for
:25:04. > :25:10.Scotland to maintain links with the EU. How likely is that on the road
:25:11. > :25:14.perhaps to a referendum? This is the $1 million question. There is no
:25:15. > :25:20.model as the First Minister said, it is uncharted territory. I do not
:25:21. > :25:26.think it is a runner, the Scottish Parliament and a veto of Brexit. She
:25:27. > :25:30.did not use that word. We will only know where we speak to the
:25:31. > :25:34.commission president and president of the Council in Brussels and that
:25:35. > :25:40.will happen. I don't think these fringe noises from the former
:25:41. > :25:43.Belgian Prime Minister, an Irish politician, making positive noises,
:25:44. > :25:48.are significant. It is what the member states think. Fergus Ewing
:25:49. > :25:53.was in Luxembourg and was hearing positive things from some officials
:25:54. > :25:58.he was speaking to. They were even saying they would welcome Scotland
:25:59. > :26:02.as the 28 state. You can probably pick and choose who you speak to who
:26:03. > :26:07.will give favourable noises but they have to get the agreement of all 27
:26:08. > :26:12.members for Scotland to either remain or come back in if we are
:26:13. > :26:23.independent. You may get one or two. You need 100%. Catalonia is now more
:26:24. > :26:28.of a live constitutional situation in Spain and Spain is reluctant to
:26:29. > :26:32.create a precedent, might be greater than two years ago. Back to
:26:33. > :26:36.Westminster, when it comes to whether there is Brexit or not, what
:26:37. > :26:44.kind of a model do you think we might end up with. It is difficult
:26:45. > :26:51.to predict. It is uncharted waters. Nobody knows what will happen. There
:26:52. > :26:55.is no plan for Brexit. There is no plan for how the UK will look once
:26:56. > :26:57.we have these negotiations. Nobody seems to know what country we will
:26:58. > :27:08.have stop that is the problem. There was anger among pro-Brexit
:27:09. > :27:17.people there was no plan if they vote went for Leave. They are
:27:18. > :27:22.catastrophically unprepared. Rolling back on unrealistic promises made.
:27:23. > :27:26.Boris Johnson in a newspaper column, it is remarkable, floating the idea
:27:27. > :27:31.or most of the European economic area, which is a group that includes
:27:32. > :27:37.Iceland and Norway so you retain access to the single market. But
:27:38. > :27:42.there might be a quid pro quo in terms of freedom of movement. Most
:27:43. > :27:47.people who voted Leave rather suspected they were getting away
:27:48. > :27:55.from that, I think. Do you think that people may be new the impact.
:27:56. > :27:59.Project Fear, the campaign, some people called it. Has it come to
:28:00. > :28:04.pass? Do you think some people are thinking, maybe things are not quite
:28:05. > :28:10.as bad as was said by the Chancellor. There is no emergency
:28:11. > :28:15.Brexit budget? We are also hearing that some people on the Leave side
:28:16. > :28:23.did not expect this. They did not expect the country would vote to
:28:24. > :28:25.leave. It has all been about the Conservative Party leadership.
:28:26. > :28:31.Nobody expected to be in this situation. Nobody anticipated the
:28:32. > :28:36.mess that could be created. Which is grossly irresponsible politics! We
:28:37. > :28:40.will have to wait and see what happens. Thank you both very much.
:28:41. > :28:47.Shelly will be here tomorrow night, at the usual time.
:28:48. > :29:15.Oh, God! Argh! HE COUGHS AND SCREAMS
:29:16. > :29:22.BBC Four unmasks Britain's controversial
:29:23. > :29:25.I genuinely thought it was going to be...quite mild.
