:33:11. > :33:18.that CO2 emissions increased temperature, they are looking at

:33:28. > :33:28.
:33:28. > :33:36.forecast, 3% for this century. A professor at Leeds University claims
:33:36. > :33:42.that the higher temperatures are unlikely. Another from Oxford, they
:33:42. > :33:52.look unlikely. The Georgia Institute of technology, the models are too
:33:52. > :33:59.hot. Temperatures could remain flat for another two decades. My point to
:33:59. > :34:02.you as do you not want to step back and reconsider policy? If our
:34:02. > :34:11.policies were as expensive as you suggested we would obviously want to
:34:11. > :34:19.look at them. But you said it put �112 on peoples bills. I will give
:34:19. > :34:29.you the breakdown. The vast majority of that is tackling fuel poverty.

:34:30. > :34:37.Reducing energy bills long term. Only a small part of that �112 you
:34:37. > :34:47.mentioned, only a small amount is in subsidising renewable and low carbon

:34:48. > :34:56.energy. We are taking a rational, sensible, moderate approach. I do
:34:56. > :35:00.not deny that climate change will not follow the central forecast. But
:35:00. > :35:09.there is a range of scenarios. Just like forecasting inflation of
:35:09. > :35:18.growth. But lots of scientists are now saying that perhaps the more
:35:18. > :35:28.range is more likely. That is still scary. What would be the
:35:28. > :35:30.
:35:30. > :35:40.consequences for the UK of a rise in the one Celsius? Many people think
:35:40. > :35:42.
:35:42. > :35:50.that is down to claim it change. central forecast that you have
:35:50. > :35:59.proceeded on has been the IPC C forecast of 3%. Climate scientists
:35:59. > :36:09.are now claiming it would be 1%. What would be bad for Britain?
:36:09. > :36:10.
:36:10. > :36:18.few scientists are saying that. A tiny main oddity. -- minority. The
:36:18. > :36:21.vast majority are concerned that we will not hit the two degree target.
:36:21. > :36:28.All the projections that you are often about would go up of that.
:36:28. > :36:35.Frankly, two degrees would be a real step forward and reduce the amount

:37:15. > :37:22.the basis of forecast that may prove to be wrong you are continuing with
:37:22. > :37:30.an expensive and costly programme. disagree that it is as costly as you
:37:30. > :37:39.say. But we are developing energy storage to knowledge use. Not just
:37:39. > :37:49.batteries, but water, hydrogen. We have a whole range of policies and
:37:49. > :37:49.
:37:49. > :37:59.the idea that we are simply about offshore wind is a nonsense. If the
:37:59. > :37:59.
:37:59. > :38:04.plateau is still there by 2020, what will you say to me? I still think

:38:16. > :38:23.oceans, the icecaps, rising sea levels... I am saying that you have

:40:33. > :40:35.
:40:35. > :40:45.sport a two Way St? The answer is usually about legacy. Sport Scotland
:40:45. > :40:53.recently announced a �5.8 million in tennis. Not a bandwagon in this
:40:53. > :40:57.state, according to the sports minister. You do not come up with
:40:57. > :41:07.this in a few days, I can guarantee you will stop it has been a while in
:41:07. > :41:17.the planning. But there is nothing wrong in saying that we want a
:41:17. > :41:18.
:41:18. > :41:21.legacy from Andy Murray's victory at Wimbledon. He is a one-off. He has
:41:21. > :41:27.created a great environment for Scotland to build on but nothing
:41:27. > :41:35.more than that. Hard work remains to be done. That is where the
:41:35. > :41:45.government money is a start, but only a start. Alex Salmond was
:41:45. > :41:45.
:41:45. > :41:53.promoting club golf at the Scottish open. A sport in which another Scot
:41:53. > :41:58.has scaled the heights. 14 years after winning the open championship,
:41:58. > :42:08.does Paul Lawrie think that has ever very prompted sustained commitment
:42:08. > :42:15.to grassroots golf? Yes, to a certain extent. But it is difficult
:42:15. > :42:22.to keep going, to keep putting in money, whatever. But I think it is a
:42:22. > :42:32.lot better than it was. One former limping as more sceptical. --
:42:32. > :42:39.Olympic athlete. We must be certain that the fantastic venues, the use
:42:40. > :42:44.the as, that it is maximised. -- the enthusiasm. But we do not have that
:42:44. > :42:54.ability with the current system. There is more we could do to
:42:54. > :42:58.
:42:58. > :43:08.maximise things. Inspiring long-term change was as dated -- was the
:43:08. > :43:18.stated plan for the games. I am joined now by Brian Whittle, who we
:43:18. > :43:19.
:43:19. > :43:23.saw in the film. Andy Murray's victory was the end of 18 your
:43:23. > :43:33.journey. How do you characterise the relationship between politics and
:43:33. > :43:35.
:43:35. > :43:40.sport? -- a ten year journey. need politicians because they often
:43:40. > :43:50.find sport but they do not understand it quite as well as they
:43:50. > :44:00.should. -- fund. We need to be looking at decades long lines
:44:00. > :44:03.whereas politicians think in four-year cycles. -- plans. They
:44:03. > :44:13.know that they will not often be there to see things come to
:44:13. > :44:15.
:44:15. > :44:25.fruition. You were sceptical about the Olympic legacy. You said it was
:44:25. > :44:29.not working in the current system. What is the picture at the moment?
:44:29. > :44:35.am classed as being sceptical, but there are lots of fantastic things
:44:35. > :44:44.happening. But the Olympic legacy was to get so many millions of
:44:44. > :44:48.people involved in sport. The trouble is that the time came when
:44:48. > :44:55.the Olympics ended and these people tried and we did not have the actual
:44:55. > :45:00.capacity. We need to allow for children to come and at the ground
:45:00. > :45:10.level and get to where they get to. They are limiting factor should not
:45:10. > :45:10.
:45:10. > :45:14.be the systems that we have. -- the limiting factor. It is quite
:45:14. > :45:21.difficult for politicians to plan. Inspiration should come from parents
:45:21. > :45:28.and teachers. Absolutely true. Political intervention is not the
:45:28. > :45:35.only answer, it is a multifaceted answer. Parents are even more
:45:35. > :45:42.important than in my day because of the decline in sport at schools
:45:42. > :45:49.since the 1980s. Andy Murray typifies what is required to get to
:45:49. > :45:53.the very top. I had the great pleasure of chatting to his mother.
:45:53. > :46:03.The amount of commitment that the parents have, that is incredibly
:46:03. > :46:03.
:46:03. > :46:11.important. It took him ten years to become an overnight success! We need
:46:11. > :46:17.a multifaceted approach. If we are to help teachers inspire young
:46:17. > :46:27.people, you referenced the 80s, the teachers strike, do we need to put
:46:27. > :46:33.more money into school sports? think we do. I made a flippant
:46:33. > :46:38.comment last year, why don't we take all that money and teach teachers to
:46:38. > :46:46.do extracurricular sport? My introduction to sport was through
:46:46. > :46:53.school. That happens a lot less now. No, I know we cannot do that, but it
:46:53. > :46:59.was a thought just to start some debate. Sport in schools is not
:46:59. > :47:09.happening as much as you think at the moment. Andy Murray went away
:47:09. > :47:10.
:47:10. > :47:17.and fifth in the two practice sport. -- at 15. If there are other talents
:47:17. > :47:27.like that, as they are the capacity within Scotland to Hamas? I don't
:47:27. > :47:27.
:47:27. > :47:33.think so. -- to harness that. address that balance requires a
:47:33. > :47:39.long-term commitment. And the other reality is that you cannot get away
:47:39. > :47:49.from the weather. Some tournaments of that level, over here, would have
:47:49. > :47:50.
:47:50. > :47:56.to be endorsed. -- indoors. Do you think there are children who could
:47:56. > :48:05.be the next Andy Murray, who are not being spotted? Wasted opportunities,
:48:05. > :48:11.not being spotted by coaches? Without question. I have said this
:48:11. > :48:21.before, not forgetting that in recent times Scotland produced the
:48:21. > :48:23.
:48:23. > :48:30.Olympic 100 metres champion, we just have not moved on since Alan Wells.
:48:30. > :48:37.There are of there who could run as fast, we just have not taken
:48:37. > :48:46.advantage. It is the whole picture, parental intervention, etc. Andy
:48:46. > :48:56.Murray has eight calibre instinct that helped him rise to the top. --
:48:56. > :48:58.
:48:58. > :49:06.killer instinct. Is there anything that is in the national psyche that
:49:06. > :49:11.prevents that kind of success? don't think so. I think we have a
:49:11. > :49:19.chip on both shoulders! Given the opportunity, fantastic amount of
:49:20. > :49:27.talent in Scotland. School is out for summer. Holyrood has shot up
:49:27. > :49:32.shop. The referendum campaigns started just over one year ago. Both
:49:32. > :49:39.will work hard over this summer. Concept Ember, the one year
:49:39. > :49:49.countdown is on. So let's review a spectacular sunny finish. -- come
:49:49. > :49:58.
:49:58. > :50:03.for the wicked. Alex Salmond and Alistair Darling both made keynote
:50:03. > :50:10.speeches pushing positivity and criticising each other. Perhaps that
:50:10. > :50:16.encapsulate were the debate has set the summer. We gathered some views,
:50:16. > :50:25.two from each side, and this Conservative MP has warning about
:50:25. > :50:35.negativity. I said what I said because I believed it. We have two
:50:35. > :50:37.
:50:37. > :50:41.focus on issues of substance. I guess my concern is that we have led
:50:41. > :50:48.people to believe they will have all the facts before them before they
:50:48. > :50:53.vote but it is very clear they will not. One Labour MP is emphasising be
:50:53. > :51:02.positive about his campaign. It has been a great start to the campaign
:51:02. > :51:07.for the role UK side with the lead extended in the polls. There has
:51:07. > :51:12.been a recruitment of ambassadors for the UK case and that have been
:51:12. > :51:20.local groups set up around the country. Still a long way to go only
:51:21. > :51:27.there is no complacency but we have had good year. Good news in the
:51:27. > :51:33.polls for them. The Green Party are bedfellows in Yes Scotland than the
:51:33. > :51:38.palling is not yet raising any alarm bells. Many people are unconvinced
:51:38. > :51:45.but open-minded. The kinds of things that will inspire people to change
:51:45. > :51:50.their position is a debate dominated by big ideas and by a vision about
:51:50. > :51:59.the future of our society and what we want Scotland to be, rather than
:51:59. > :52:06.empty assertions on both sides. Perhaps a lack of certainty on both
:52:06. > :52:16.sides. A key moment in the autumn will be the prospectus for the
:52:16. > :52:17.
:52:17. > :52:20.independents. There will be a lot of arguments. The prospectus can lay at
:52:20. > :52:26.the detail of what an independent Scotland can achieve and from my
:52:26. > :52:30.point of view, once the white paper is published as the real starting
:52:30. > :52:38.point for the campaign because only then can we say this is what defence
:52:38. > :52:41.and wealthier band so one will look like. More arguments will give way
:52:41. > :52:45.to more arguments and the cycle will continue.
:52:45. > :52:48.If politicians lacks the summer, enjoy the break. With me now for the
:52:48. > :52:54.Yes Scotland campaign is Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh and for the other side,
:52:54. > :53:01.Better Together, is the Scottish Conservative MSP Annabel Goldie.
:53:01. > :53:06.Thank you for joining us. I want to look at positivity and negativity
:53:06. > :53:13.first of all. Two speeches this week board reported to be positive but
:53:13. > :53:19.were critical of each other. Alex Salmond was talking this week about
:53:19. > :53:23.the parcel of rogues on the other side. I believe that projects a year
:53:23. > :53:30.has been exposed and it started with mobile phone roaming charges and now
:53:30. > :53:36.it has moved on to the billions it would cost to get rid of Trident and
:53:36. > :53:43.again that has been exposed. It would cost less than to keep
:53:43. > :53:48.Trident. These tactics do not sit well with the people of Scotland and
:53:48. > :53:53.people do not like being frightened into adopting a certain position.
:53:53. > :54:00.People deserve the facts from all those involved in the campaign and
:54:00. > :54:03.we have been relentlessly positive and will continue to do so. Alex
:54:03. > :54:10.Salmond has constantly been critical of Westminster. We the positivity
:54:10. > :54:16.there? Westminster this completely out of touch with Scottish politics
:54:16. > :54:20.and despite the fact we have MPs at Westminster, when they bought their
:54:20. > :54:30.views are not taken into consideration. We have policies
:54:30. > :54:34.imposed on us without a will. -- oh well. We can be sure of two things
:54:34. > :54:37.in a Scottish parliament, that we always get the government we vote
:54:37. > :54:45.for and we will always act in the best interests of the people of
:54:45. > :54:50.Scotland. Too much negativity and scaremongering. We have even had
:54:50. > :54:55.that from one of your colleagues talking about how some stories were
:54:55. > :55:03.silly. It looked like Alistair Darling made a bit of a change
:55:03. > :55:06.trying to be positive? He made an important speech outlining positive
:55:06. > :55:14.aspects of what the pressures partnership actually means for many
:55:14. > :55:20.people in Scotland. That was a very good agenda to be pursuing. Just a
:55:20. > :55:25.back-up on what was just said they are, the figure about Faslane, that
:55:25. > :55:28.I believed to be the beer cost of creating the state and nothing
:55:28. > :55:34.whatsoever to do would be the beer cost of creating the state and
:55:34. > :55:40.nothing whatsoever to do with the enormous cost you cannot take one
:55:40. > :55:45.fact in isolation. There is this constant negativity particularly
:55:45. > :55:50.from Better Together but even when Alistair Darling was trying to be
:55:50. > :55:58.positive, he was characterising a national list interpretation of
:55:58. > :56:02.history as childish. They Trident caricature Better Together as
:56:02. > :56:08.projects via which is not something I recognise. It is more to do with
:56:08. > :56:16.public perception and I was campaigning as recently as Tuesday
:56:16. > :56:20.evening. Public reaction is positive with people from diverse political
:56:20. > :56:27.backgrounds who regard Better Together as presenting a positive
:56:27. > :56:37.case for the United Kingdom. We saw Patrick Harvie talking about a real
:56:37. > :56:37.
:56:37. > :56:46.vision. Do you think the leaders room for a big overarching vision on
:56:46. > :56:52.your side? Can I please clarify, Project sphere was a term borne out
:56:52. > :56:57.of the Better Together campaign and was exposed, not made up by others.
:56:57. > :57:02.We have always spoken of Scotland as something more fear and more
:57:02. > :57:08.democratic and that is something we take to the people of Scotland. We
:57:08. > :57:15.have found that when we give people the facts and when they are real but
:57:15. > :57:19.I really informed, they are much more disposed to vote yes. Our job
:57:19. > :57:25.is to make sure that every possible venue and every possible community
:57:25. > :57:32.be given the facts. The facts should be accurate. What is the big
:57:32. > :57:37.version? We are not used to having a vision but for the first time we
:57:37. > :57:42.will have control of what happens in our country and we can move beyond
:57:42. > :57:46.party politics and look at our vision. Because it transcends party
:57:46. > :57:54.politics and because people in Yes Scotland are from all parties and
:57:54. > :57:57.none, we can take everything they have to offer to the campaign. But
:57:58. > :58:05.allows us to take the campaign forward and take everyone's views
:58:05. > :58:13.into consideration. Is it hard for your side to Philly vision when it
:58:13. > :58:17.is the status quo? I think she reveals the difficulty. Everyone can
:58:17. > :58:23.have a vision but we need specifics and the specifics are what is
:58:23. > :58:32.missing. Alex Salmond's speech recently up north was very
:58:32. > :58:36.revealing. He has clearly stung by the yes campaign awareness that an
:58:36. > :58:44.awful lot of people in Scotland not only value the partnership but they
:58:44. > :58:54.like it and want to continue. He then said, that social union will
:58:54. > :59:01.remain along with the NATO union and the EU union. That is arrogant
:59:01. > :59:06.nonsense. In an independent Scotland your relationship with NATO will
:59:06. > :59:13.change. We no longer control the environment which determines levels
:59:13. > :59:18.of public spending and borrowing. It is pagan nonsense and a cynical ploy
:59:18. > :59:24.to cover up what the yes campaign is profoundly aware of, which is that
:59:24. > :59:30.they need to raise its game but it can't. Better Together when all is
:59:30. > :59:40.said and done has a better story to tell. The big story will be in the
:59:40. > :59:40.
:59:40. > :59:45.White Paper this autumn. There will be a lot of answers needed in that?
:59:45. > :59:54.And those answers will be forthcoming. Will be shredded to
:59:54. > :59:59.bits by your opponents? independence referendum includes
:59:59. > :00:02.everybody and it is right to the bait. We should not be afraid of
:00:02. > :00:08.having conversations and I have to take issue with Annabel Goldie's

:09:41. > :09:42.
:09:42. > :09:51.has come to fruition? No, but it cannot in just 12 months. But talk
:09:51. > :10:01.of legacy is a nonsense, really. Andy Murray as a one-off in many
:10:01. > :10:06.respects. In the same way that Roger Federer is a one-off. Doubtless more
:10:06. > :10:11.people in Switzerland play tennis, and doubtless more people will take
:10:11. > :10:17.it up in Scotland, but the notion that we will suddenly start

:10:22. > :10:28.to suggest politicians can have any kind of impact on these things. Yes,

:10:34. > :10:40.than some of the other things it is spent on, and it would be a good
:10:40. > :10:44.thing if young children exercised more school, but if you want to talk
:10:44. > :10:52.about legacy, that is what is important. Not about a programme
:10:52. > :11:00.which will churn out champions. Maybe politicians do not have much
:11:00. > :11:04.impact, it is down to teachers and parents? I totally agree with that.
:11:04. > :11:11.Politicians can only look at the overall picture, which must be in
