:03:45. > :03:47.Scottish people to ask them to make that decision when the facts aren't

:03:51. > :03:54.to make sure we get the best possible deal for the UK, including
:03:55. > :03:59.the people of Scotland. A majority of voters in Scotland opted to

:04:08. > :04:12.has met a brick wall of intransigence in the negotiations to
:04:13. > :04:16.protect Scotland's place in Europe. If Theresa May didn't want the union
:04:17. > :04:19.to become looser she isn't going good way about it. She needs to

:04:24. > :04:26.the will of the people of Scotland when it becomes to a future
:04:27. > :04:31.relationship with Europe. The Scottish Government sought
:04:32. > :04:35.compromise with the UK Government, it is now up to them to respond to

:04:39. > :04:43.Greens are expected to vote in favour of the right to call a second

:04:50. > :04:50.as far apart as ever. Little sign yet on how this constitutional
:04:51. > :04:57.disagreement will be resolved. STUDIO: Let's go live to Lorna in
:04:58. > :05:04.Glasgow. In terms of this meeting between them, how cordial bore the
:05:05. > :05:08.talks be? Number 10 say they hope the talks will be constructive but
:05:09. > :05:13.it's hard to see where the consensus will be. A spokesperson from the
:05:14. > :05:16.Scottish Government this morning was talking about Article 50 and we are
:05:17. > :05:23.just two days away from the start of the triggering of that process of
:05:24. > :05:27.the UK leaving the EU. He said, as of just now, the Scottish Government
:05:28. > :05:33.isn't aware of its role, there will be no discussion about its role in
:05:34. > :05:36.the start of the process, no discussion about how Scotland's
:05:37. > :05:39.interests will be represented, no discussion about what role the
:05:40. > :05:43.Scottish Government will play in those negotiations. They are unhappy
:05:44. > :05:48.about the process surrounding Article 50. They are unhappy about
:05:49. > :05:52.the position Theresa May has taken over the timing of any possible
:05:53. > :05:57.second independence referendum. She is saying now isn't the time.
:05:58. > :06:02.Downing Street are saying they will engage on the issues surrounding
:06:03. > :06:05.Article 50 but they will not, this afternoon, be discussing the
:06:06. > :06:08.possibility of a second independence referendum. I think the Prime
:06:09. > :06:13.Minister will really be pressed on this issue by the First Minister
:06:14. > :06:17.Nicola Sturgeon. And it's really at this point quite hard to see where
:06:18. > :06:20.the compromised position will be. Lorna, thank you.
:06:21. > :06:22.Labour's Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer says the party won't support

:06:33. > :06:41.The six tests are? Most of them are really not that controversial or own

:06:45. > :06:48.They are bing is like ensuring the final deal protects national
:06:49. > :06:53.security, delivers the every part of the UK. It ensures we still have
:06:54. > :06:57.strong constructive relations with Europe. But there is one condition
:06:58. > :07:03.which is viewed as a killer condition. That is the deal Mrs May
:07:04. > :07:08.gets must ensure we get exactly the same benefits outside the EU as we
:07:09. > :07:12.get inside the EU. Many people are saying how is this possible? If you
:07:13. > :07:16.leave a club you can't expect to have all the benefits of remaining
:07:17. > :07:21.in the club. What is going on? The view of many people in Westminster
:07:22. > :07:24.is Labour is looking to toughen its stance on Brexit, after facing
:07:25. > :07:29.accusations it had just gone along with Mrs May and is now seeking to
:07:30. > :07:34.position itself so it can vote against any final deal reached by
:07:35. > :07:37.Mrs May. As part of that, tough words from the shadow Brexit

:08:03. > :08:20.down these Brexiteers. Is there any risk this could
:08:21. > :08:28.actually derail Brexit in the long run? Simon, I think politicians from
:08:29. > :08:33.all parties will be very wary of the derailing Brexit. I think we are now
:08:34. > :08:38.entering the hard yards of Brexit. The past six months have almost been
:08:39. > :08:41.the easy part. Yes, we've had rows and revolts and showdowns with the
:08:42. > :08:46.House of Lords. We've had clashes with judges. That was just get to
:08:47. > :08:50.the starting to trigger Article 50, to begin the whole process. Now we

:09:00. > :09:03.difficult part. If you think we've had plenty of confrontation and rows
:09:04. > :09:05.and revolt so far, I suspect there's going to be an awful lot more from
:09:06. > :09:08.here on in. Thank you. There will be special edition
:09:09. > :09:10.of Question Time tonight, Live this evening from 8:30pm
:09:11. > :09:15.til 10:00pm on BBC One. The family of Kurt Cochran -
:09:16. > :09:19.the American tourist who was killed in last week's attack in Westminster
:09:20. > :09:22.- have said he would not have borne He and his wife Melissa
:09:23. > :09:26.were on holiday in London to celebrate their 25th wedding
:09:27. > :09:29.anniversary when they were struck on Westminster Bridge by a car
:09:30. > :09:32.driven by Khalid Masood. Our correspondent
:09:33. > :09:44.Richard Lister reports. It was the last afternoon of their
:09:45. > :09:50.wedding anniversary tour of Europe. Kurt and Melissa Cochrane were due
:09:51. > :09:54.to fly home the next day but in an instant he was killed and she was
:09:55. > :09:59.badly injured. Today their families were in London, paying tribute to
:10:00. > :10:02.the man they lost. He was an amazing individual who loved everyone, and
:10:03. > :10:09.tried to make the world a better place. He left a legacy of
:10:10. > :10:15.generosity and service, that continues to inspire us. We are
:10:16. > :10:22.deeply saddened to lose him but grateful that the world is coming to
:10:23. > :10:26.know him, and be inspired by him. When Khalid Masood began his
:10:27. > :10:31.murderous drive across Westminster Bridge, the two Americans were his
:10:32. > :10:35.first victims. Kurt was thrown over the bridge rail. The family said
:10:36. > :10:41.they were determined not to hate his killer. Last night we were speaking
:10:42. > :10:46.as a family about this. It was a unanimous that none of us harbour
:10:47. > :10:53.any ill will or harsh feelings towards this. We love our brother,
:10:54. > :11:00.we love what he brought to the world, and we feel like the
:11:01. > :11:06.situation is going to bring many good things to the world. A lot of
:11:07. > :11:10.inspiration, a lot of love. That remarkable sentiment was echoed
:11:11. > :11:14.today by another of Khalid Masood's victims. I don't want to blame
:11:15. > :11:19.anyone. I want us to make sure we are thankful for what we have, for
:11:20. > :11:23.the people that are still alive and the people currently recovering. And
:11:24. > :11:28.we should try and unified through that, through love and compassion,
:11:29. > :11:33.rather than through our hatred and anger about what happened. As the
:11:34. > :11:38.investigation progresses, this chilling image has emerged of Khalid
:11:39. > :11:42.Masood's profile, showing hit sent a message just minutes before he set
:11:43. > :11:46.off across the bridge. The debate over the issue of secure messaging
:11:47. > :11:49.continues but for those talking about the attack today, the focus is

:12:35. > :12:37.are one of the biggest investors in the UK. I've just interviewed the
:12:38. > :12:44.finance minister and he made it clear that the Brexit issues,
:12:45. > :12:50.Britain leaving the EU had really no effect on decisions to invest in the
:12:51. > :12:54.UK. Sterling has fallen in value which makes UK assets more
:12:55. > :12:59.attractive for foreign investors. But just as you say, this will be
:13:00. > :13:06.seen as an important signal, that outside investors are still looking
:13:07. > :13:13.to the UK in a favourable light. Also, I think that as Theresa May
:13:14. > :13:16.looks to trigger Article 50, there is still confidence in the UK
:13:17. > :13:21.economy. Which is going to be an important part of her message, this
:13:22. > :13:25.isn't all about Europe, it's about other countries around the world.
:13:26. > :13:30.Whether it's the Middle East, China, America. What will they fund? They

:16:36. > :16:40.assembly was meant to meet at midday today, that didn't happen. It is at
:16:41. > :16:43.four o'clock as you rightly say the Deputy First Minister are supposed
:16:44. > :16:47.to be elected by the politicians. It seems clear that not going to

:16:52. > :16:55.problems of power-sharing, frankly it's been described as one
:16:56. > :16:58.politician today as a shambles. What happens next? It's up to the
:16:59. > :17:10.Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire but
:17:11. > :17:12.really he has a limited number of options. The first is to call
:17:13. > :17:15.another election and that would be the third vote in just over a year.
:17:16. > :17:18.That's something the government don't want. They could play for time
:17:19. > :17:20.because he is only supposed to call back within a reasonable time
:17:21. > :17:22.period, so ultimately they could have talks while that takes place
:17:23. > :17:25.and they bluff that time for a while. The other option is to go to
:17:26. > :17:27.direct rule where Westminster would effectively take over the running of
:17:28. > :17:30.Northern Ireland, that's something they don't want either. Ultimately
:17:31. > :17:34.at the moment that leaves us in a kind of limbo and that has practical
:17:35. > :17:39.circumstances. Budgets have not been set for public spending, so as far
:17:40. > :17:42.as health, public spending, all sorts of public services are
:17:43. > :17:46.concerts earned, that becomes a worry. Getting out of that limbo
:17:47. > :17:49.will not be easy because politicians here are simply pointing at each
:17:50. > :17:53.other, blaming each other for the fact that these negotiations have
:17:54. > :17:56.not been successful, and the gap between them on all of the big
:17:57. > :18:00.issues that they are disagreeing about, it does not seem to have been

:20:56. > :20:59.It's hard to imagine that just a few weeks ago,

:22:06. > :22:11.owes all, the humanitarian situation deteriorates. Just behind me in that
:22:12. > :22:15.for Quorn is where the front-liners. Just below that other buses bringing
:22:16. > :22:20.people from the West to this camp for the internally displaced. This
:22:21. > :22:25.is a place where it has now become home for tens of thousands of people
:22:26. > :22:31.who were fleeing the intensity of this battle. We are currently
:22:32. > :22:34.standing here on a former Isis headquarters. This is one of the
:22:35. > :22:38.first places that was liberated and there was heavy bombardment here in
:22:39. > :22:43.the area. And if we just pan round we can see some of the children who
:22:44. > :22:47.are now sitting amongst this destruction, this rubble. And it
:22:48. > :22:51.really has become a playground for them. They just sit here for hours
:22:52. > :22:55.on end. It's difficult for them to know when this operation will end,
:22:56. > :22:59.when the fighting will end. The outcome of this battle is not in
:23:00. > :23:06.dispute. Iraqi forces are determined to take back West Mosul but they are
:23:07. > :23:10.up against an enemy willing to fight to the very end. What now needs to
:23:11. > :23:16.be looked at is what happens next, what happens to Mosul after it falls
:23:17. > :23:19.back into the hands of the Iraqi government? This is an incredibly
:23:20. > :23:20.divided city and country, and it's about bringing these people back

:24:10. > :24:14.Our correspondent Danny Savage reports.
:24:15. > :24:21.A protest outside the company which supplies cement to the fracking
:24:22. > :24:36.industry, and it's about to get ugly. Hey, get out of your car! Get
:24:37. > :24:41.out! The man at the wheel of the four by four was last week fined for
:24:42. > :24:47.his driving. The aim of the protest was to persuade the business to stop
:24:48. > :24:51.selling to a fracking company. Were going to be visiting every business
:24:52. > :24:54.that has out to do with fracking or facilitating it and we're going to
:24:55. > :24:59.do exactly the same things everywhere we go. This is where the
:25:00. > :25:02.demonstration took place. Protesters say as a result the number of
:25:03. > :25:06.companies have now agreed to stop supplying the fracking industry here
:25:07. > :25:10.in Lancashire. None of those companies would comment to us when
:25:11. > :25:14.we approached them. But the local Chamber of Commerce say what's
:25:15. > :25:18.happened amounts to a campaign of intimidation and harassment. I think
:25:19. > :25:21.the real concern is that it could escalate very easily. So we could go
:25:22. > :25:28.from intimidation and harassment, and we could see confrontation and
:25:29. > :25:31.aggression escalate towards, you know, physical violence. And he
:25:32. > :25:36.fracking protests are regular appearances. This was outside the
:25:37. > :25:41.main site near Blackpool last week. Get out my way, stop it. A group
:25:42. > :25:46.called reclaim the power is planning direct action against companies in
:25:47. > :25:49.the fracking supply chain. Direct action is a campaign tactic, it is
:25:50. > :25:53.normally to stop or disrupt things and cause economic destruction. It's
:25:54. > :25:57.usually the last resort. If somebody turns up with their face covered and
:25:58. > :26:02.hood up, they look like an anarchist, that's quite
:26:03. > :26:08.intimidating. I agree, but it we have a strict policy of not
:26:09. > :26:12.intimidating. We are here to concentrate on saying, if you remove
:26:13. > :26:19.the supply ten, fracking cannot go ahead. Pro fracking people living
:26:20. > :26:22.near a site in Ryedale are watching events in manga should closely. I
:26:23. > :26:25.didn't like it when over in Lancashire the companies were
:26:26. > :26:29.backing down and capitulating to the bullies and the anarchists. Over in
:26:30. > :26:33.Yorkshire I hope we have more grit, more determination, and that we will
:26:34. > :26:38.not back down to these bullies. And he fracking people say they've spent
:26:39. > :26:43.years following protocol and protest is the only option left. They claim
:26:44. > :26:46.public opinion is overwhelmingly against fracking. It's hard to see
:26:47. > :26:47.anything but a growing sense of conflict over the issue. Danny

:27:52. > :27:53.money, it's funny. The new coin's shape
:27:54. > :27:55.and structure make it harder It is thought that 3%
:27:56. > :28:00.of the old pound coins were fake but it's thought the total

:28:03. > :28:06.vending machine, shopping trolley, everywhere you put a pound coin
:28:07. > :28:09.in will need to be changed The industry did not know

:30:52. > :30:55.beginning to respond to sunshine as well. If you are trapped underneath
:30:56. > :30:59.the layer of low cloud with an onshore breeze as well then the
:31:00. > :31:03.temperatures really are struggling. It was that way at the weekend. When
:31:04. > :31:10.you have the sunshine it was fairly chill around eastern shores. Nine,
:31:11. > :31:16.ten, 11, 12. Well on into the mid-teens, possibly a 19 somewhere
:31:17. > :31:22.but time will tell. Through the evening and overnight the low cloud
:31:23. > :31:26.becomes quite extensive yet again. And there will be some fog. Word to
:31:27. > :31:30.the wise, you may not necessarily find that in the same place as was
:31:31. > :31:33.the case last night. Not just as cold for some reason, four to eight
:31:34. > :31:38.will cover it for many. Off and running into Tuesday and a heads up,
:31:39. > :31:41.doesn't look like much but this is the first signs of change that will
:31:42. > :31:44.really come into play as we get on into the middle part of the week. A
:31:45. > :31:51.lot of dry weather around. Watch out. First up. Showery burst in
:31:52. > :31:56.Wales and part of the south-west in the first part of the day. Elsewhere
:31:57. > :32:00.they dry start. Not overly warm but five, six, seven, England and
:32:01. > :32:04.Scotland. Enough clout across the north-east of the mainland 's. The
:32:05. > :32:09.odd bit of drizzle but nothing to write home about here. As we get
:32:10. > :32:12.onto the day, the chance of something a little bit wetter than
:32:13. > :32:16.you've been used to over the past few days falling from the skies just
:32:17. > :32:20.increases. Gradually pushing out of the south-west and Wales up through
:32:21. > :32:23.Northern Ireland. Some sharp showers come the afternoon with some heat
:32:24. > :32:27.coming through, this band of whether getting into the borders. Many into
:32:28. > :32:30.double figures. Only the north-eastern corner of Scotland
:32:31. > :32:36.still has that sort of cool something out of the east about it
:32:37. > :32:39.with breeze. That's the first signs of this predominance of the low
:32:40. > :32:45.pressure easing away the weekend's hi. Coming a long way from the
:32:46. > :32:49.south. If you get a wee bit of sunshine, temperatures still popping
:32:50. > :32:53.away. Got a dry start but it will not stay that way but if you do get
:32:54. > :32:54.some sunshine even into the second half of the week, temperatures could
:32:55. > :32:55.be soaring. A reminder of our main
