:00:00. > :00:00.sporting action at Saint Helen 's take on Castleford in super

:00:00. > :00:17.league's play`off. That is in 15 minutes, after the papers.

:00:18. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

:00:21. > :00:26.With me are James Miller of the Sunday Post and Kevin McKenna

:00:27. > :00:35.Let's take a quick look first of all at tomorrow's front pages.

:00:36. > :00:37.The Independent says the cross`party consensus over devolution has

:00:38. > :00:43.The Daily Mail leads on David Cameron's promise of "English votes

:00:44. > :00:52.The Express focuses on the Queen's call for reconciliation.

:00:53. > :00:55.Alex Salmond and his wife are on the front of the Daily Record,

:00:56. > :01:08.The FT says the vote will change the UK's political landscape

:01:09. > :01:10.The Queen's portrait dominates the front of the Telegraph, it also

:01:11. > :01:19.The Guardian says the political battle has now shifted to England.

:01:20. > :01:21.And the Times says political deadlock could mean new powers for

:01:22. > :01:37.Well, let's take a look through all of those. Plenty of reading awaits

:01:38. > :01:41.us for our Saturday. James, you could only put one story on the

:01:42. > :01:45.front pages? It is quite unusual that there is only one story in

:01:46. > :01:50.town. Slightly different ways of covering it, depending on the

:01:51. > :01:55.title. Is almost two halves of the same story, the English powers and

:01:56. > :02:00.Salmond resigning. It is how you balance it and the rest of it.

:02:01. > :02:05.The Independent has gone with a strange FrontPage, the picture

:02:06. > :02:10.of... Ed Miliband, Cameron and Alex Salmond. As you said, it could have

:02:11. > :02:15.come from any day in the last six months, almost. If you looked at

:02:16. > :02:19.that page on the newsstand, that could have come from last week.

:02:20. > :02:21.Three middle aged men. This United Kingdom.

:02:22. > :02:26.People were writing that for the last four weeks, that has featured

:02:27. > :02:32.in their headings, not very good front`page. The story itself is

:02:33. > :02:35.accurate enough. It is the way it has been laid out with those three

:02:36. > :02:41.pictures. Is that Westminster centric? Part of the whole debate.

:02:42. > :02:45.It is talking about the continued... Salmond is one of the three, but the

:02:46. > :02:50.continued fight. This is probably what we will be talking about.

:02:51. > :02:55.Normally on their front pages, they are elegant and well constructive. I

:02:56. > :02:58.don't think the novels of thought has gone into that. Even though that

:02:59. > :03:02.the debate has moved a bit more towards England, a very nice

:03:03. > :03:07.photograph of salmon `` I don't think even though the debate has

:03:08. > :03:11.happened, much thought has gone into that. Looking as if he is coming to

:03:12. > :03:13.his... The end of his 20 year Tanya.

:03:14. > :03:20.That sense of the end of an era you want to see reflected? Having said

:03:21. > :03:25.that, there hasn't been an obvious iconic image of the day. A massive,

:03:26. > :03:29.historic day. When you think about it, at the front pages show, no

:03:30. > :03:36.obvious image of no celebrating or indeed Salmond leaving. The union

:03:37. > :03:41.strikes back, the baby version, if you like, of the independent.

:03:42. > :03:46.Political consensus to give new powers to Scotland collapses within

:03:47. > :03:52.hours of the referendum verdict, says he I. Lots of people picking up

:03:53. > :03:55.on that. We talked about no visual image, that quote on a lot of

:03:56. > :04:01.papers, the dream shall never die. `` the i. Bat was from Alex Salmond,

:04:02. > :04:04.the news conference this afternoon. Interesting choice of quote. Given

:04:05. > :04:08.we have just had a referendum, which were supposed to kill the issue for

:04:09. > :04:13.at least a generation, and if it had been a yes vote, they would say it

:04:14. > :04:17.was the life. Salmond, today, has suggested it is maybe not for life.

:04:18. > :04:21.The dream will never die. In his speech this morning, he said, when

:04:22. > :04:27.he conceded, that Scotland had rejected I forget the exact

:04:28. > :04:30.words... Didn't he tell Andrew Marr on Sunday that it would be yet,

:04:31. > :04:35.there would not be another vote, if it went the way it has indeed gone.

:04:36. > :04:40.Yet he is saying the dream will never die. He is saying that knowing

:04:41. > :04:47.he will not be around for ever. He was only around another few days.

:04:48. > :04:50.Their `` therefore somebody else in the party, Nicola Sturgeon is, may

:04:51. > :04:53.think differently. Somebody people in the SNP may think they have a

:04:54. > :04:58.mandate, things go according to plan, over the next two years to

:04:59. > :05:03.bring back the referendum. The narrative of these front pages is

:05:04. > :05:08.the First Minister's resignation as leader of the party is how the

:05:09. > :05:12.promise that the three party leaders signed up to in the daily record on

:05:13. > :05:16.Wednesday, not only was it not worth the paper it was written on, it only

:05:17. > :05:23.lasted about four days. As we are seeing now. The i says it fell apart

:05:24. > :05:29.within hours, but it was minutes. Cameron was out, saying... Trying to

:05:30. > :05:33.take politics, if you like, get one over the Labour Party. The United

:05:34. > :05:39.front fell apart literally within an hour of the result. You say

:05:40. > :05:45.depending who replaces Alex Salmond, it is striking. Robbie deliberately

:05:46. > :05:48.visual, the i has a photo of Alex Salmond right next to a photo of

:05:49. > :05:54.Nicola Sturgeon. Some of the Scottish papers, we move on, the

:05:55. > :05:58.Accord. A photograph of Alex Salmond with his wife leaving. A lot of them

:05:59. > :06:07.come in small letters saying Nicola Sturgeon tipped to be the next

:06:08. > :06:14.leader. Is that a given? Supposing there are others who would the job.

:06:15. > :06:18.She is the only candidate in town. I don't know how you phrase it, when

:06:19. > :06:24.she is tipped to, or how you work it, but she will be the next leader

:06:25. > :06:29.of the SNP. A good choice? Bringing fresh people and ideas to the party?

:06:30. > :06:34.I think Nicola Sturgeon has grown in stature over the last few years as a

:06:35. > :06:42.politician. She is very, very well thought of and is held in a great

:06:43. > :06:49.deal of affection in the SNP. People remember her bounding onto the stage

:06:50. > :06:54.as a law student, more than 20 odd years ago, and if that embarrasses

:06:55. > :06:58.you, sorry, Nicola. The front page of the daily record, that is the

:06:59. > :07:06.best front page I have seen. Really well constructed. He looks genuinely

:07:07. > :07:13.happy. Not surprisingly. Over the course of the day, and lots of

:07:14. > :07:20.people have, it is quite striking photograph. It's a different side,

:07:21. > :07:26.the personal side. But that is him, and you rarely see his wife. Like

:07:27. > :07:39.all of the best because it gives you an insight into something else now

:07:40. > :07:46.then, home rule for England, and on! `` an exclamation mark. We were

:07:47. > :07:52.having a chat about this earlier, and you see the headlines, and you

:07:53. > :07:56.wonder, Scotland, having had its referendum, will somebody now call

:07:57. > :08:03.for a referendum on English independence from the rest of the

:08:04. > :08:07.UK. I wouldn't put it past them. It's always been raised, but the

:08:08. > :08:12.prediction, if you like, that UKIP, after this, it would start to become

:08:13. > :08:14.more of an English party and push the English agenda, and the Daily

:08:15. > :08:21.Mail might be playing into their hands a bit. The Daily Express

:08:22. > :08:28.picking up on the statement we heard from the Queen at Balmoral, reunite

:08:29. > :08:33.Britain, pleads the Queen. I don't know if Balmoral would say there was

:08:34. > :08:39.any pleading in it, that is not quite the way of Her Majesty, that

:08:40. > :08:44.that is their take on it. The Queen very rarely says the wrong thing and

:08:45. > :08:49.she would say something dignified and elegant and this is one of those

:08:50. > :08:54.moments, where she said the rest of the UK will abide and respect the

:08:55. > :09:01.decision of the Scottish people and that was entirely the respect ``

:09:02. > :09:07.correct line to take. What have you made of the mood and atmosphere

:09:08. > :09:12.around here today. 55/45, maybe a slightly bigger percentage gap than

:09:13. > :09:15.predicted, and I can only speak in Edinburgh, where we have been today,

:09:16. > :09:21.but it's been a bit more subdued than I thought. It's been kind of

:09:22. > :09:27.strange, because it was so obvious, so early on or likely that the no

:09:28. > :09:31.campaign would win, and it rather petered out over night. I was at the

:09:32. > :09:34.Better Together event and there was a lot of excitement because they

:09:35. > :09:38.knew they would win, but halfway through they knew they would, and

:09:39. > :09:41.they were waiting for results, but it was rubber`stamping what they

:09:42. > :09:48.knew would happen. It was not quite the big celebration that you might

:09:49. > :09:53.have expected. Similarly, the mood, and I was in glass go this morning,

:09:54. > :10:01.I'm in Edinburgh this afternoon, I'm not saying it that they are down, it

:10:02. > :10:06.sort of empty `` I was in Glasgow. If the sun had come out it might

:10:07. > :10:12.have been a different atmosphere. But it's sort of debt. In Edinburgh

:10:13. > :10:17.nobody knows if it is subdued or not, this is the default position

:10:18. > :10:20.because they only come out on the street of somebody's offered to buy

:10:21. > :10:26.a round of drinks. I was in Glasgow and that was the scene of quite a

:10:27. > :10:36.lot of the more colourful and dramatic outpourings of nationalist

:10:37. > :10:45.fervour `` further. But today it was eerily quiet. Of course, the divide

:10:46. > :10:48.between Glasgow and Edinburgh, that was before the local authorities who

:10:49. > :10:58.voted yes, and Edinburgh was the biggest margin on the night.

:10:59. > :11:02.Certainly one of. That emphasising the age old and fabled division

:11:03. > :11:06.between the cities. We will be talking more and talking about some

:11:07. > :11:10.of the other papers at 1130. Thank you for now. As I say, more coming

:11:11. > :11:11.up in the next hour. Coming up next, it's time for

:11:12. > :11:35.Sportsday. Hello and welcome, I'm Lizzie

:11:36. > :11:39.Greenwood`Hughes, the headlines this evening. Wembley wins the right to

:11:40. > :11:44.host the euro Twenty20 final and semifinals. Glasgow is given for

:11:45. > :11:45.games, but Cardiff misses out. Saint
