:00:00. > 3:59:59night of rugby union with five matches and rugby league to tell you

:00:00. > :00:28.about as well. The Daily Mail leads

:00:29. > :00:30.on a warning from the SNP's former deputy leader that

:00:31. > :00:33.Scottish banks will be broken up and oil giant BP nationalised to punish

:00:34. > :00:37.them for backing the No campaign. The FT reports that Better Together

:00:38. > :00:40.campaigners have seized on threats by Jim Sillars that banks

:00:41. > :00:43.would face a "day of reckoning" in the event of a Yes vote

:00:44. > :00:46.in the independence referendum. The Guardian highlights its new ICM

:00:47. > :00:48.poll which suggests that the union between Scotland

:00:49. > :00:51.and England hangs by a thread with the Yes vote just two percentage

:00:52. > :00:53.points behind those supporting No. The Scottish version of the

:00:54. > :00:56.Daily Telegraph has more warnings on the financial risks

:00:57. > :00:58.of independence and has a picture of two former rugby internationals

:00:59. > :01:01.who are campaigning for a No vote. The Independent carries

:01:02. > :01:04.a dramatic portrait of Ian Paisley, The Daily Record devotes part of

:01:05. > :01:10.its front page to Oscar Pistorius's conviction for shooting and killing

:01:11. > :01:12.his girlfriend but says the And finally, the Mirror leads on the

:01:13. > :01:19.news that animal lovers have raised over ?1 million for the dogs? home

:01:20. > :01:38.in Manchester that was badly damaged We will start with the Scottish

:01:39. > :01:47.referendum. Businesses face a day of reckoning. Nationalists issue a

:01:48. > :01:51.threat. Your paper suggesting that the Yes campaign has stalled and

:01:52. > :01:57.there would be a day of reckoning for businesses. What is interesting

:01:58. > :02:03.about this is the way the language is getting more and more apocalyptic

:02:04. > :02:08.around this issue. It is described here is the ugly side. That is

:02:09. > :02:16.increasingly becoming the case. This particular report is around a speech

:02:17. > :02:27.made by a politician, quite and at school one, `` quite an obscure one,

:02:28. > :02:37.former Deputy Leader of the SNP, coming out and saying, quite

:02:38. > :02:41.threatening language, saying... Threatening BP and other businesses

:02:42. > :02:52.would learn the meaning of nationalisation. This is being

:02:53. > :02:59.seized on as an example of really how appalling and scary the whole

:03:00. > :03:06.issue has become. It's an obvious gift to the union. I suspect it will

:03:07. > :03:24.be a one`day wonder because people will know that he's not in charge of

:03:25. > :03:33.the SNP, it's Alex Salmond. You wonder which of the campaigns this

:03:34. > :03:37.comment is designed to help. Nigel Farage has visited Scotland as well.

:03:38. > :03:41.Their headline here is that his visit is a gift to the Yes

:03:42. > :03:51.campaign. He has been up there this evening. He has been critical of the

:03:52. > :03:59.Prime Minister for calling him moronic and not putting diva Max on

:04:00. > :04:05.the ballot paper. `` diva Max. You wonder who he is trying to help. The

:04:06. > :04:12.idea is he trying to push Labour voters back towards the No camp.

:04:13. > :04:15.Somebody said this morning that if David Cameron looked like a fish out

:04:16. > :04:23.of water going to Scotland, then Nigel Farage made him look like Rob

:04:24. > :04:29.Roy! He is so out of character. It should've been a three pronged

:04:30. > :04:35.question. Lots of people think there should have been an option there but

:04:36. > :04:43.what Cameron wanted to do was kill it off altogether. He was confident

:04:44. > :04:47.there would be a strong no. To be fair, Nigel Farage is not the only

:04:48. > :04:54.one that is making this point. It turns that he had quite a small

:04:55. > :04:59.audience, it seems, 60 demonstrators and he was smuggled into a side

:05:00. > :05:05.door. He also suggested the Queen has a responsibility to speak out.

:05:06. > :05:12.Not going to happen in the next six days. Again, who knows. Hell could

:05:13. > :05:19.freeze over. He felt he had to be there as party leader with the other

:05:20. > :05:24.three. Maybe he's trying to stand alongside them. It would be

:05:25. > :05:28.fascinating to see what other scare stories emerge. The Daily Mail had

:05:29. > :05:41.Alex Salmond mocked up as the North Korean dictator. Let's look at the

:05:42. > :05:47.Guardian. Union hanging by a thread as Yes camp narrows gap. Suggests

:05:48. > :05:54.the No vote is just two percentage points ahead. But 17% undecided,

:05:55. > :06:01.huge number of people. Absolutely. Other papers are carrying this as

:06:02. > :06:05.well, including the Financial Times and the political editor of the

:06:06. > :06:14.Financial Times saying at this point, it is mad to try and cool

:06:15. > :06:22.it. We really can't. But if it did end up a very narrow margin, that

:06:23. > :06:29.could be as destabilising as the alternative. Alistair Darling was

:06:30. > :06:35.saying privately he wanted a 20% victory. That is what they needed,

:06:36. > :06:44.they thought to kill of the issue. Now he's hoping for 0.2%! Let's move

:06:45. > :06:48.away from the referendum discussion. Let's look at the

:06:49. > :06:53.Independent newspaper and the picture there. Extraordinary

:06:54. > :07:02.photograph of Ian Paisley. The holy warrior who made peace. I thought

:07:03. > :07:07.there might have been a bit more coverage. He is such a legendary

:07:08. > :07:12.figure. But I am sure there will be lots of comments inside. Such an

:07:13. > :07:18.amazing life to talk about at length. He got kicked out of the

:07:19. > :07:24.European Parliament for calling the Pope the Antichrist and went to

:07:25. > :07:30.jail. I never interviewed him myself and I'm he didn't because I read

:07:31. > :07:34.that he got reporters to sing hymns to him for the price of an

:07:35. > :07:39.interview. Who would have thought that when he died, nobody would have

:07:40. > :07:44.a bad word to say about him? During his life, most of his life, he was

:07:45. > :07:50.incredibly divisive. The only comments I have read that have

:07:51. > :07:56.veered away from positive tributes were from a former Alliance party

:07:57. > :08:02.leader who said that whilst he sympathises, he can't believe that

:08:03. > :08:11.the rewriting of Ian Paisley's role, prolonging the troubles of the

:08:12. > :08:19.many years. And so antagonistic in the beginning. Might take longer to

:08:20. > :08:36.write his legacy. It is a story of redemption. Including Martin

:08:37. > :08:41.McGuinness. The daily record, one of the main stories in Pretoria, with

:08:42. > :08:46.us finding out that the Paralympic and Oscar Pistorius has been found

:08:47. > :08:50.guilty of culpable homicide, which is more like manslaughter. The

:08:51. > :08:54.suggestion here he may never go to prison because there is quite a wide

:08:55. > :09:05.range of sentences that the judge could deliver. Yes. As I was coming

:09:06. > :09:11.over, I was listening to LBC and a big discussion point here and one

:09:12. > :09:17.thing came through: People are quite mystified, I think, about the

:09:18. > :09:24.workings of the South African court because... They are very different

:09:25. > :09:28.to British courts. Of course, in the UK, the chances are that he would

:09:29. > :09:40.not have been bailed in the first place. The verdict we got today will

:09:41. > :09:48.not overcome the disbelief that it was not a stronger verdict. It could

:09:49. > :09:52.just be a fine, it could be community service which is

:09:53. > :10:00.extraordinary. Maybe five years is the most accurate prediction, the

:10:01. > :10:07.best guess. Very quickly let's have a look at the Daily mirror. ?1

:10:08. > :10:11.million has been raised for the Manchester dog so my 50 dogs died in

:10:12. > :10:19.what is thought to have been an arson attack. `` dogs home. We both

:10:20. > :10:26.felt a bit uneasy about this one. The paper is calling for the dogs

:10:27. > :10:30.that survive to be adopted. I wonder if a children's home burned down and

:10:31. > :10:34.children needed to be adopted and is on the way home I cannot see them

:10:35. > :10:38.being given the same treatment which makes me uneasy. Money has been

:10:39. > :10:44.coming from Australia, America and Canada. It is not just the Brits.

:10:45. > :10:51.110,000 people have donated. It is in stark contrast to some of the

:10:52. > :10:58.other charity causes that are desperate for support. It is odd and

:10:59. > :11:01.it is on the front page of not just one national newspaper either.

:11:02. > :11:05.That's it for this hour but Sue and Rob will be back with us when they

:11:06. > :11:09.have enjoyed a bit of our hospitality at the back. Stay with

:11:10. > :11:14.us on BBC News. At 11pm tributes paid to one of the most prominent

:11:15. > :11:19.figures in Northern Irish politics. The Reverend Ian Paisley who has

:11:20. > :11:30.died at the age of 88. Coming up next, time for Sportsday.

:11:31. > :11:32.Hello and welcome to Sportsday ` I'm Lizzie Greenwood`Hughes,

:11:33. > :11:48.Yorkshire win their first county championship title for 13 years.
