men's final at Flushing Meadows as well. We will find out how a spat

:00:00.:00:00.

led to two riders being disqualified.

:00:00.:00:38.

Our joy of baby number two. The words dominating the front page of

:00:39.:00:51.

the Daily Express. The Independent asks the pioneering treatment the

:00:52.:00:55.

five`year`old receives will ever make it to Britain. The Daily

:00:56.:01:00.

Telegraph claims the Queen is being urged to speak out over Scotland.

:01:01.:01:05.

The Guardian has Gordon Brown as the saviour of the union campaign. And

:01:06.:01:07.

another royal baby headline. Very clever, the chaps at the Metro.

:01:08.:01:27.

We will start with the Financial Times, though. This is your paper,

:01:28.:01:34.

your take on what has happened. One poll! How can that be? Suddenly,

:01:35.:01:43.

everyone has that Scotland could vote for

:01:44.:01:51.

independence in ten days time and I think the markets and politicians in

:01:52.:01:56.

Westminster, the polls had been wide, they did not appear to narrow

:01:57.:02:04.

dramatically, so there was a sort of view that, this will not happen. And

:02:05.:02:11.

suddenly, nervousness. Some of the retail barons are talking about

:02:12.:02:15.

people moving deposits away from Scotland, so now,

:02:16.:02:20.

to see the reality that if Scots do vote to leave the United Kingdom,

:02:21.:02:25.

whether there would be a flight of capital away from Scotland. One

:02:26.:02:29.

analyst says here, the issue will not keep Scotland in the pound, but

:02:30.:02:36.

keep the pound in Scotland. These institutions will be tested. As you

:02:37.:02:42.

said, it was all the financial institutions, such as The Royal Bank

:02:43.:02:46.

of Scotland and Lloyds banking group, with big domiciles in

:02:47.:02:49.

Scotland, that with the big losers today. The other point is what the

:02:50.:02:57.

international implications are an investors are worried because of

:02:58.:02:59.

Scotland votes for independence, what does that mean about Spain in

:03:00.:03:10.

Catalonia? The markets are concerned about wider ramifications. This is

:03:11.:03:17.

rubber hitting the road, isn't it? For 18 months`1 year, we have had a

:03:18.:03:22.

discussion about the principles. What the poor has suggested is that

:03:23.:03:27.

they could well decide to leave the union and as a result, we need

:03:28.:03:33.

details. The markets have no details on exactly what this might mean. You

:03:34.:03:42.

hit the no `` nail on something which is actually not correct. When

:03:43.:03:47.

you say we, it depends who we is and where you are. Well, certainly in

:03:48.:03:55.

Scotland. But in England, everybody been asleep. Including David

:03:56.:04:04.

Cameron? There is nobody to vote in England, and nor should there be,

:04:05.:04:10.

but the ramifications for the rest of the UK, for England plus or

:04:11.:04:16.

whatever else it will be called, are enormous. And also, the

:04:17.:04:26.

ramifications, it is not like... Say it is a No vote. They are already

:04:27.:04:52.

scrambling to increase the powers for Scotland, devolution becomes

:04:53.:04:58.

Devo Max. You could almost call independence light. You have still

:04:59.:05:03.

got the flag, the Queen, but once you start giving considerably more

:05:04.:05:17.

powers, which are still unclear, new pension powers, welfare powers,

:05:18.:05:23.

powers to raise old change tax regimes, what does that mean for the

:05:24.:05:28.

rest of British politics? What does it mean for the MPs sitting in

:05:29.:05:39.

Scottish constituencies? There will be no reason to have them, apart

:05:40.:05:44.

from the defence issue. Even if there is a No vote, the Constitution

:05:45.:05:51.

of the UK changes dramatically. Let's go to the Guardian. Brown to

:05:52.:05:59.

the rescue. It was Brown who was called, not Ed Miliband, not the

:06:00.:06:07.

Eden`educated Prime Minister. It was a man who was out of power for a

:06:08.:06:11.

number of years now who is seen as the saviour of the union. Ed

:06:12.:06:18.

Miliband's 's problem in Scotland as he is deeply unpopular there and so

:06:19.:06:23.

is David Cameron. The Tories are toxic and Scotland. There is no way

:06:24.:06:28.

the Conservative Party can lead this fight and there are no plans, even

:06:29.:06:36.

in these final stages, but to Scotland and Scotland and try and

:06:37.:06:41.

make the case. Alistair Darling. It is not him? It looks like the Yes

:06:42.:06:49.

campaign... Sorry, the No campaign is panicking and it has realised

:06:50.:06:56.

they have not produced the goods. It is partly also a head and heart

:06:57.:07:01.

thing. If you say no to anything, they are relentlessly negative

:07:02.:07:04.

measures. It's like saying to your children, don't do this! There

:07:05.:07:11.

hasn't been, which has been one of the major flaws in this campaign,

:07:12.:07:17.

there has been no sort of compelling, romantic reason, no

:07:18.:07:24.

passion. Watching Gordon Brown tonight, it's interesting, you

:07:25.:07:30.

showed passion up there. Some of the other members of the No campaign

:07:31.:07:36.

perhaps lacked it. There were stories knocking around. We did a

:07:37.:07:42.

story on December about concerns within senior Tory circles about

:07:43.:07:47.

Alistair Darling, was he the right guy to do this? He won the first

:07:48.:07:56.

debate. When he won that first debate... It didn't really affect

:07:57.:08:07.

the polls. But he won it on a very sort of technical discussion about

:08:08.:08:11.

the fate of sterling which Alex Salmond got himself hooked on. If

:08:12.:08:18.

you learn from your mistakes after one debate, you make sure it you do

:08:19.:08:25.

it differently second time around, and as soon as he made sure that, he

:08:26.:08:32.

wiped the floor against Alistair Darling against a much more

:08:33.:08:36.

emotional basis which, after all, is the way the vast majority of voters

:08:37.:08:43.

vote. The starting position was that the No campaign had a 45`50% polling

:08:44.:08:50.

at the beginning, a year ago or something, and the Yes campaign was

:08:51.:08:55.

kind of languishing around 20%. It was always going to narrow. As

:08:56.:09:00.

Nicola Sturgeon said, we have momentum. They always started with a

:09:01.:09:03.

big block that would get chiselled away. But the surprising thing has

:09:04.:09:10.

been the way it is not chipping away, it is just collapsing. Getting

:09:11.:09:19.

Gordon Brown... It is now, let's try anything. Nick Clegg had a press

:09:20.:09:23.

conference where they were launching manifesto things and it felt like

:09:24.:09:26.

the politicians in Westminster really do not know what else to

:09:27.:09:31.

throw the Scots to try and entice them to stay. The Telegraph is

:09:32.:09:37.

talking about the Queen being urged to intervene. Let's go on to the

:09:38.:09:43.

Daily Express. Jihadist is planning carnage on the streets of Britain.

:09:44.:09:49.

Isn't it interesting, before the poll on devolution, that for the

:09:50.:09:56.

last month or two, it has been foreign stories that have

:09:57.:10:01.

dominated, whether Iraq /Syria and the new caliphate as planned by ISIS

:10:02.:10:13.

or whether it was Israel /Gaza or Russia/Ukraine. Those were the only

:10:14.:10:17.

stories in town. This is a kind of British end to it which is a British

:10:18.:10:25.

`based jihadist is not only employing terrorist methods and

:10:26.:10:32.

beheading journalists and aid workers, but according to this take

:10:33.:10:36.

on David Cameron's statement, they are planning bombings and other

:10:37.:10:43.

terrorism campaigns in the UK. The only sort of cautionary note is that

:10:44.:10:48.

you can never prove a negative, particularly when it comes to

:10:49.:10:58.

terrorism. So it is quite easy for journalists, partly pandering to

:10:59.:11:05.

security services, to say, be very scared. Something could happen all

:11:06.:11:06.

the time. It is the Prime Minister is saying

:11:07.:11:15.

this. This is all about his statement in the House of Commons

:11:16.:11:18.

about the NATO summit, there is nothing new in this. We have known

:11:19.:11:26.

for a few weeks, they have increased the security level, what is

:11:27.:11:32.

interesting, maybe 500 of these, what they think of as British

:11:33.:11:37.

jihadists in Iraq and Syria, and the question is, when they come back,

:11:38.:11:41.

are they a threat? The government have been very clear that they think

:11:42.:11:49.

is it `` that there is a threat, but they have not said what their actual

:11:50.:11:52.

plan is to deal with these people, and whether you go revoke their

:11:53.:12:01.

passport, make them stateless, should you even do that? President

:12:02.:12:07.

Obama is making the statement is Mara about his broad`based placidly

:12:08.:12:09.

to deal with `` strategy to deal constrained with that. Thanks for

:12:10.:12:33.

joining us. At the top of the Alp we are going to have much more on the

:12:34.:12:43.

timetable that Gordon Brown and `` at the top of the hour we are going

:12:44.:12:47.

to have much more on the timetable that Gordon Brown has set out for

:12:48.:12:51.

further Scottish devolution. And now we have the sports
