:09:11. > :09:15.here every year, ?40,000 worth of business done in two hours, it is
:09:16. > :09:19.fast and furious. What do the people who come here think about the

:09:28. > :09:32.are not good. I am not voting. I am not going to vote. It is my
:09:33. > :09:36.right not to vote. You do not believe in the
:09:37. > :09:43.politicians? One is as bad as another, to be honest.
:09:44. > :09:44.So if the SNP did secure an independent Scotland, what would you
:09:45. > :09:49.want to see? More fish quotas in Scotland because
:09:50. > :09:55.the sea is full of fish. It depends what happens with fish. A lot of
:09:56. > :10:01.this is going to England. So the exports, whether you are a
:10:02. > :10:07.member of the European union? Yes, it will go South, the fish and
:10:08. > :10:10.the prawns will go abroad. We can handle that being Scotland but I am
:10:11. > :10:16.not sure about the fish because the English will import them more and
:10:17. > :10:23.more, not from Scotland. What would you hope for in
:10:24. > :10:31.independence? I am saying nothing. Yes, not so much a No vote as no
:10:32. > :10:35.confidence in either side of the debate, so tough have conditions
:10:36. > :10:38.been for fishermen here. Alex Salmond says he will restore the

:10:48. > :10:52.says when it comes to hard fought negotiations over quotas, we are
:10:53. > :10:56.better negotiating together. Thank you very much. Let's assess

:11:14. > :11:18.This referendum may hinge on what happens to the seemingly crumbling
:11:19. > :11:22.Labour vote and what we have seen from Gordon Brown in the last 30
:11:23. > :11:25.minutes is a desperate attempt to claw back that Labour vote from the
:11:26. > :11:31.brink, to stop those droves of Labour supporters is appearing into
:11:32. > :11:37.the arms of the Yes campaign. By citing what is Labour's most emotive
:11:38. > :11:42.and iconic policy, the NHS, Gordon Brown is playing the NHS card to
:11:43. > :11:48.trump the independence card by saying, only if Scots remain part of
:11:49. > :11:52.the UK will be NHS be safe in Scotland and the SNP are the enemies
:11:53. > :11:57.of that. They could have increased funding for the NHS but they chose
:11:58. > :12:04.not to do that. And it was his language, this was like Gordon Brown
:12:05. > :12:08.of 15, 20 years ago. A speech in the fiery rhetoric of traditional Labour
:12:09. > :12:14.values to resonate in Labour's Scottish heartlands. The SNP say
:12:15. > :12:18.this is part of a panic project, a last minute and desperate effort by
:12:19. > :12:23.the No campaign and the only way to save at the NHS and services is for
:12:24. > :12:29.Scotland to have full control of their finances. But the one thing
:12:30. > :12:34.you can say is true is that Alistair Darling is no longer leader of the
:12:35. > :12:38.No campaign, it is not Ed Miliband and David Cameron, it is Gordon
:12:39. > :12:43.round, he has been charged with rescuing the Labour vote and trying
:12:44. > :12:48.to save the union. Thank you very much, very

:25:09. > :25:32.Tom Symonds reports. As the requests filed up during what
:25:33. > :25:36.MPs described as a summer of chaos, thousands stumped up to speed up the
:25:37. > :25:40.process. Today's report says they should now be compensated. The delay

:26:12. > :26:15.sure you have got a passport when you need one. But this report says
:26:16. > :26:17.there was complete management failure over the summer. It
:26:18. > :26:22.recommends the Government takes back control. One reason for the queues,
:26:23. > :26:27.according to MPs, was the decision to move the processors processing of
:26:28. > :26:31.overseas applications back to the UK, putting more pressure on the
:26:32. > :26:34.service. They are angry that applicants are charged more for a
:26:35. > :26:39.passport than it costs to supply one. The office has made a surplus
:26:40. > :26:45.of ?124 million, which means they are making a profit out of their own
:26:46. > :26:50.citizens. I think that it should be budget no,, and if they make the
:26:51. > :26:54.money, they should invest it back in the service. After the Government
:26:55. > :26:58.stepped in to avert the political risk of ruined summer holidays, the
:26:59. > :27:02.backlog of passport applications fell from half a million to 90,000.

:27:13. > :27:15.has left a legacy worth nearly ?5 million to the Teenage Cancer Trust.
:27:16. > :27:18.Nearly ?3 million will be invested in specialist cancer units

:27:30. > :27:34.Stephen's mother, Jane, talking exclusively to the BBC,

:27:53. > :27:58.pictures published, that he was actually doing a thumbs up in all of
:27:59. > :28:03.them. But then, in some ways, I am not surprised about that, because
:28:04. > :28:08.even as a child, Stephen was always doing something jokey in a
:28:09. > :28:11.photograph. Four months after her son's death, Jayne Nisbet king for
:28:12. > :28:16.the first time about his remarkable story. Stephen Sutton's thumbs up
:28:17. > :28:22.campaign went global after posting this photo. It inspired people to
:28:23. > :28:26.donate ?5 million to the Teenage Cancer Trust. It is extremely
:28:27. > :28:32.difficult to see your child going through cancer. But the fact that
:28:33. > :28:36.Stephen was genuinely happy with what he was doing... He always used
:28:37. > :28:41.to say, it was always about the fun in fundraising, and that is why he
:28:42. > :28:44.was happy, he was having great fun. At the same time, he was just
:28:45. > :28:50.raising all this money to help young people. When Stephen was diagnosed
:28:51. > :28:56.with bowel cancer aged 15, he wrote a bucket list of 46 things he wanted
:28:57. > :28:59.to do. His goal soon switched to fundraising, and through social
:29:00. > :29:04.media, he reached out to people from all walks of life. Stephen was
:29:05. > :29:09.treated at three Teenage Cancer Trust units in Birmingham. His
:29:10. > :29:14.legacy will fund two new centres like this one. For every young
:29:15. > :29:18.person that we help at the moment, there is another one we can't. That
:29:19. > :29:22.needs to change. Because of Stephen and all of his supporters, we will
:29:23. > :29:28.be much more confident about making sure we can help everyone sooner.
:29:29. > :29:31.Six existing units will be improved, including this ward in Liverpool,
:29:32. > :29:36.where facilities need to be updated. It makes me so proud, yes,
:29:37. > :29:39.yes, to know that Stephen will continue to help so many young
:29:40. > :29:44.people who are diagnosed with cancer in the future, and give so many
:29:45. > :29:47.young people the chance to have the same opportunities as Stephen did.
:29:48. > :29:51.Stephen Sutton lived life to the full. His legacy should help other
:29:52. > :29:54.young cancer patient reach their potential.
:29:55. > :30:02.Time for a look at the weather - here's Nina Ridge.
:30:03. > :30:09.It was another foggy start to the day to day, and the next couple of
:30:10. > :30:16.days will continue to have these misty, murky mornings. There will be
:30:17. > :30:20.some decent temperatures in the sunshine. The satellite picture
:30:21. > :30:25.shows the sunshine breaking through four southern counties of England
:30:26. > :30:27.and across Wales. But there is more cloud for eastern Scotland and
:30:28. > :30:33.north-east England. At four o'clock this afternoon, mainly fine and dry
:30:34. > :30:40.to the south-west. The small risk of an afternoon show here. Most places
:30:41. > :30:45.will miss them. Again, some cloud in the Midlands, and the small chance
:30:46. > :30:48.of a shower. Across Northern Ireland, some brighter skies down to
:30:49. > :30:54.the south and the east. For Scotland, with some patchy cloud
:30:55. > :30:58.around, the odd light shower. Cooler and cloudy along the Aberdeenshire
:30:59. > :31:03.coast line. Some rain affecting Shetland. This evening and overnight
:31:04. > :31:12.tonight, watch out for the return of the mist and Merck coming back in
:31:13. > :31:19.from the east. Temperatures, similar to the last couple of mornings. So,
:31:20. > :31:22.things tomorrow will be brightening up, especially along the south
:31:23. > :31:27.coast, through parts of Wales and into the north-west. But it does
:31:28. > :31:30.look like that cloud will continue to affect eastern Scotland and
:31:31. > :31:37.north-east England, producing some patchy, light rain and drizzle. But
:31:38. > :31:43.when we come into the sunshine, we are up in two the mid-20s. Later on
:31:44. > :31:48.in the day, the risk of some showers affecting the south-west corner. We
:31:49. > :31:52.will be watching out for showers on Thursday and Friday as well, tied in
:31:53. > :31:57.with that low pressure sitting in the Bay of Biscay. It looks likely
:31:58. > :31:59.that there could be some showers for England and Wales during the day on
:32:00. > :32:07.Thursday. Thunderstorms are possible. Still some mist and low
:32:08. > :32:15.cloud for the north-east of England as well as eastern Scotland.
:32:16. > :32:18.Increasingly humid on Thursday. Those showers potentially are with
:32:19. > :32:25.us on Friday, pushing their way northwards. Further north, we are
:32:26. > :32:26.more likely to stay dry, if a little bit overcast at times. More details
:32:27. > :32:30.online. Now a reminder
:32:31. > :32:39.of our top story this lunchtime... The three main Westminster parties
:32:40. > :32:43.have pledged to transfer extensive powers to Scotland, if there is a no
:32:44. > :32:47.vote in the referendum on Thursday. The yes campaign says it is too
:32:48. > :32:49.little, too late. That is all from us.
