Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
In a minute we will be discussing everything that is in the morning 's | :00:19. | :00:31. | |
newspapers. With me are Richard Walker, | :00:32. | :00:32. | |
editor of the Sunday Herald and of Alex Massie, journalist | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
and blogger for the Spectator. Many | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
of the front pages are already in. And tomorrow's referendum dominates, | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
the Financial Times talks about a moment of truth as a divided | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
nation heads to the polls. A special edition of the Scottish | :00:48. | :01:04. | |
express. It says that Scots are being urged to reject narrow | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
nationalism and save the union. The Union | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
and Saltire flags occupy the Independent which calls the whole | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
campaign, a carnival of democracy The message from the Daily Mirror is | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
clear, don't let the sun set The map | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
of Scotland dominates the Guardian Finally, the daily record lets the | :01:19. | :01:41. | |
younger generation reflect both sides of the campaign and the paper | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
quotes a poem from our greatest son, Robert Burns. | :01:46. | :01:56. | |
Let us turn to our guests. Good evening to you. We should start with | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
the Financial Times, and yours is the paper that has said yes, | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
formerly. We have. That will help people understand where the | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
conversations might go. What are your thoughts about the Financial | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Times this morning? We have been hearing more and more about this | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
nonsense about a divided country and families torn apart and it is | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
nonsense. It is a country engaged in a hugely important debate that is | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
electric at the moment and the population is incredibly politicised | :02:33. | :02:33. | |
and it has been following and turns of the debate and everyone | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
is talking about it. We are grown up and we can disagree and still be | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
friends in the morning. A divided nation is what the FT calls it, is | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
that fair? It is because the nation will vote one way or the other by | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
the narrowest of margins tomorrow. They talk about beauty and terror | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
which is a reference to the lines by W 8 Yate `` Dudley B Yeats on the | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Easter rising and no one can complain `` claim it is anything | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
like as divisive and violent as Irish history. Scotland and Ireland | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
a very different places and their journeys about whatever | :03:17. | :03:16. | |
constitutional settlement they end up with have been very different and | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
although it is a lovely line to quote him it is not applicable in | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
this circumstance. I love the reference to the fog of | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
into nationalist is obvious. It is incredible. Although the fog | :03:28. | :03:39. | |
descended over Edinburgh disabling. Indeed! We had a splendid backdrop | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
with Edinburgh Castle. It has well and truly descended. The Independent | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
has a beautiful image on the front page. The 307 year itch. Who knew | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
that Marilyn Munro was appearing in this referendum as well! The | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Independent is perhaps not the most significant newspaper in Scotland in | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
terms of readership but just like Richard's paper it is beautifully | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
designed. In some ways it gets to the heart of the matter here and in | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Samways this is a risk `` an argument that has been going on in | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
hearts if not mine is for 300 years. Something was lost in 1707, even if | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
much was gained and even if Scotland votes yes tomorrow it is quite | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
plausible that something will be gained even if correspondingly | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
something would also be lost. A carnival of democracy is | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
interesting. That is exactly what it has been. I was in George Square | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
earlier and it was a party atmosphere. It'll weekend the | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
streets were full of people on the stalls and there were bands | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
discussing the referendum and all sorts of aspects to it. It has been | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
an absolute joy. It has been a fantastic campaign. The Scottish | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Daily Express talks about the Sun setting on our union with beautiful | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
pictures of flags. The express make it very clear what its thoughts are. | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
The great crusader, as it has always wanted to characterise itself as. I | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
think it is pretty much a front page that people would express from `` | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
expect from the Sunday express. It is a nice image but I do not think | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
it is particularly spectacular or a front page that stirs the emotions | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
either way. It is not a classic front page. This one refers in the | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
story to narrow nationalism and a complete misunderstanding of the | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
debate here but it suits their agenda. Next I think we will go to | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
the mirror if I can find it. Don't leave us this way. Just one flag | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
this time. Yes, the blue has all been taken out. That is clearly a | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
good message to take away tonight. It is not so advisable to take the | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
blue out of the flag and if you are going to do with photo shop you | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
might do it a little bit better! I cannot really disagree with that. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
This front page seems to be a photo shop of the same chap holding up the | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
flag that is on the Daily Express front page which suggests a degree | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
of, well, a lack of creative thinking on the part of these art | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
directors. This has the union flag with the blue of Scotland taken out | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
of it and it is a union flag with no room for Wales which is a little | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
unfair. Presumably the fact the blue was taken out is supposed to terrify | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
us so we know that it mustn't look like that so we must vote no. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
The Guardian has a very simple front page, pictorially, talking about | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
Scotland's 4.2 million voters with 15 hours to decide. A helpful | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
reminder of what Scotland looks like. Indeed. That is a front page | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
which says, we don't know what to say. Here is a map of Scotland. Day | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
of destiny. I am not saying that you couldn't get more cliched and | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
stereotypical, but he would have to work quite hard to do so. Perhaps | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
there is a bit more inside. You would hope so. From their own point | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
of view, if nobody else's. Right. Well, we will go through the front | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
pages and the interiors in somewhat more depth later on. Thank you for | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
now. We will have much more on that in the next hour, and also, I should | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
say that we will be talking to YouGov later on as well about the | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
latest opinion polls. Now, let's head to Sportsday. | :07:55. | :08:10. | |
Good evening. Let's start with football. Manchester City faced the | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
tougher of the two matches involving the two English teams competing in | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
the Champions League tonight. They are playing the German champions, | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Bayern Munich, in the opening match of the group stages. The English | :08:22. | :08:22. | |
champions at | :08:23. | :08:23. |
