:00:08. > :00:16.campaign as Labour's Gordon Brown sets out a new timetable to give

:00:17. > :00:18.The former prime minister, backed by the Conservatives and

:00:19. > :00:25.Lib Dems, says a new law could be in place within months.

:00:26. > :00:28.The Yes and No campaigns are fighting for every vote.

:00:29. > :00:31.The latest polls suggest it's now just too close to call

:00:32. > :00:34.It means nothing less in my view than the destruction

:00:35. > :00:38.of Britain because Britain is England and Wales plus Scotland.

:00:39. > :00:43.You cannot lop Scotland off and expect Britain to survive.

:00:44. > :00:46.I think those kinds of interventions from Boris Johnson

:00:47. > :00:56.will probably only fuel support for the Yes campaign.

:00:57. > :01:04.Five-year-old Ashya King arrives in Prague for the cancer treatment

:01:05. > :01:10.And the women who were looking for love online,

:01:11. > :01:16.but ended up being tricked out of ?250,000 by fraudsters.

:01:17. > :01:19.Alice Gross, the missing teenager last seen

:01:20. > :01:23.Tonight, two men are still being questioned.

:01:24. > :01:26.And a promise that next year bus and tube fares will only go up

:01:27. > :01:52.Good evening from Edinburgh at the start of the last full week

:01:53. > :01:56.of campaigning in the Scottish referendum on independence.

:01:57. > :02:00.The campaign has been energised, to put it mildly, by one poll over

:02:01. > :02:05.the weekend indicating the Yes campaign might be heading for

:02:06. > :02:09.victory and led to some nervousness on the financial markets.

:02:10. > :02:14.The former prime minister, Labour's Gordon Brown, is setting out

:02:15. > :02:18.his response in a short while with details of a proposed new Scotland

:02:19. > :02:20.Act, allocating comprehensive new powers to the Scottish Parliament.

:02:21. > :02:23.He's calling it a modern form of Scottish home rule within

:02:24. > :02:28.But the SNP has already dismissed as a last-minute bribe.

:02:29. > :02:31.First this evening, our political editor, Nick Robinson, reports on

:02:32. > :02:40.the greater powers being considered for the Scottish Parliament.

:02:41. > :02:46.Ten days to go before Scottish voters must decide between

:02:47. > :02:50.independence and keeping Britain together. On the morning after the

:02:51. > :02:59.poll before, the 1 that showed Yes in the lead, the pound fell 1%. ?3.7

:03:00. > :03:07.billion was wiped off the market value of five companies with

:03:08. > :03:11.Scottish business interests. No but get something better, that is what

:03:12. > :03:16.the Westminster parties are saying in an effort to rescue the

:03:17. > :03:21.referendum. Gordon Brown will say tonight he wants to see a new draft

:03:22. > :03:26.Scottish home rule Bill agreed by the end of November. And draft laws

:03:27. > :03:33.to be ready to be tabled by Burns Night at the end of January. We can

:03:34. > :03:39.have the best of both worlds, a strong Scottish Parliament, without

:03:40. > :03:43.leaving the UK. It is not the first time Labour, the Tories and the Lib

:03:44. > :03:47.Dems have promised to give more power to the Scottish parliament as

:03:48. > :03:51.an alternative to independence. Bespoke opportunity was back in

:03:52. > :03:58.June. What is new is the promise of a new law -- this vote was back in

:03:59. > :04:03.June. People have heard this before. Hundreds of thousands of people have

:04:04. > :04:06.voted already in the postal ballot. If we want a guarantee of real

:04:07. > :04:11.powers and real control for Scotland, we have got to vote yes

:04:12. > :04:15.powers and real control for the referendum. This man is actually

:04:16. > :04:19.the Prime Minister. But as an English Tory, he was not thought to

:04:20. > :04:27.be the right man to pledge more powers to Scotland if there is a No

:04:28. > :04:31.vote. Today David Cameron relied on symbolism, welcoming athletes from

:04:32. > :04:38.the Special Olympics team who he said were... All competing together

:04:39. > :04:44.as Team GB. D3 Westminster parties all agree Scotland should have more

:04:45. > :04:48.powers even if people vote no to independence -- D3 big Westminster

:04:49. > :04:52.parties. They agree Scotland should control more taxes. The Tories say

:04:53. > :04:59.the whole of income tax, Labour say a part of it. They could the league

:05:00. > :05:02.agree the Treasury should carry on running UK economic policy from

:05:03. > :05:12.London -- they agree that the Treasury should carry on running UK

:05:13. > :05:19.economic policy from London. Pension policy would stay in Westminster. A

:05:20. > :05:22.power that all three big parties say should stay in Whitehall is the

:05:23. > :05:27.responsibility for the defence of the nation, the power to wage war

:05:28. > :05:35.exercised at the Ministry of Defence. A promise like today's of

:05:36. > :05:38.more powers if you vote no helped swing the independence referendum in

:05:39. > :05:47.Quebec when a poll lead for leaving Canada was transformed into the

:05:48. > :05:52.narrowest of no votes. 35 years ago, Scots were told they would get

:05:53. > :05:57.something better, devolution, it took 18 long years to arrive. In

:05:58. > :06:00.just ten days time, Scottish voters now must decide whether to vote yes

:06:01. > :06:10.or know with that promise. -- yes or Our Scotland political editor,

:06:11. > :06:17.Brian Taylor, is here. no. This intervention, speech, call

:06:18. > :06:23.it what you will, what is significant about it? What is not

:06:24. > :06:28.significant is the prospect of more powers. We have the offer on the

:06:29. > :06:32.table from the Conservatives, Lib Dems and Labour. It is a carefully

:06:33. > :06:36.choreographed attempt to persuade the people of Scotland that there is

:06:37. > :06:40.a detailed timetable to implement changes and that they will be

:06:41. > :06:43.significant. Gordon Brown will speak tonight but tomorrow here in

:06:44. > :06:47.Edinburgh the leaders of the parties in Scotland will come together and

:06:48. > :06:51.say they back his timetable. His timetable is consultation by the end

:06:52. > :06:55.of October, a white paper on the end of November, his opponents say it is

:06:56. > :07:00.very ambitious. And draft legislation in January. General

:07:01. > :07:07.election follows too closely on that for legislation to go through.

:07:08. > 6:01:37Gordon Brown and the others on the pro union side are saying it is a

6:01:38 > 8:40:42guarantee, a banker of pro union side are saying it is a

8:40:43 > 8:40:42alternative to independence. The supporters of independence say it is

8:40:43 > 8:40:42a late bribe and is being overheated by its proponents and they say the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42people of Scotland should be underwhelmed. Thank you. More later.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42More on the campaign in Edinburgh in a short while. In the meantime, back

8:40:43 > 8:40:42to you, Sophie. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

8:40:43 > 8:40:42have announced that they are The Duchess who is still

8:40:43 > 8:40:42in the very early stages of pregnancy is suffering once

8:40:43 > 8:40:42again from acute morning sickness. This time she is being treated

8:40:43 > 8:40:42by doctors at Kensington Palace where we can join our royal

8:40:43 > 8:40:42correspondent, Nicholas Witchell. I think the fact that she is being

8:40:43 > 8:40:42treated for this sickness at home suggests that everyone is fairly

8:40:43 > 8:40:42relaxed about things at the moment. I do not think we would have known

8:40:43 > 8:40:42anything about this pregnancy if it had not been for a scheduled public

8:40:43 > 8:40:42appearance today that Kate could not attend.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42William was at a long planned visit to Oxford today. But Catherine could

8:40:43 > 8:40:42not make it. Kensington Palace realised it would have to explain

8:40:43 > 8:40:42the reason for her unexpected absence. She was pregnant with the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42couple's second child, the palace said, but suffering from acute

8:40:43 > 8:40:42sickness. William was asked, how is she feeling? OK. It has been a

8:40:43 > 8:40:42tricky few days. Immensely thrilled. Great news. Early days. We are

8:40:43 > 8:40:42hoping that things will settle down and she feels better. It is

8:40:43 > 8:40:42important we focus on the big news and the big international and

8:40:43 > 8:40:42domestic things going on. But is were my thoughts are. In 2012 early

8:40:43 > 8:40:42in her pregnancy with George, she was hospitalised for a couple of

8:40:43 > 8:40:42days. On this occasion, with this pregnancy yet to reach the 12 week

8:40:43 > 8:40:42stage, it is hoped the sickness can be managed at home and it will pass

8:40:43 > 8:40:42relatively quickly. George was a summer baby, born in July. The

8:40:43 > 8:40:42chances are his younger brother or sister will be born in the spring,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42perhaps next April or May. They will automatically become fourth in line

8:40:43 > 8:40:42to the throne fulfilling William and Catherine's obligation to ensure the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42line of succession is secure. The Queen at Balmoral at the weekend,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42she is said to be delighted at the news, as is uncle Harry. Would he be

8:40:43 > 8:40:42offering any advice on how to cope with an older brother? I think

8:40:43 > 8:40:42George will be over the moon. He will be thrilled to have another

8:40:43 > 8:40:42younger brother, sister. We will wait and see.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42younger brother, sister. We will to grow. Your prospects of becoming

8:40:43 > 8:40:42King are reduced. Great! News of the pregnancy is making headlines around

8:40:43 > 8:40:42the world. Another royal baby is on the way. The international

8:40:43 > 8:40:42fascination with Britain's royal family shows no sign of abating.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42What of the mother to be? In less than two weeks, she is due to make

8:40:43 > 8:40:42her first solo overseas visit to Malta. I am told the situation is

8:40:43 > 8:40:42being assessed on a day to Malta. I am told the situation is being

8:40:43 > 8:40:42assessed on a day-to-day basis. The chief executive of Rotherham

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Council is stepping down after the report that exposed the scale of

8:40:43 > 8:40:42child sexual explication in the town. A report published last month

8:40:43 > 8:40:42that at least 1400 children in Rotherham were sexually exploited

8:40:43 > 8:40:42over a period of 16 years, mainly by men from the Pakistani community.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Thousands of people have had travel plans thrown into chaos after a

8:40:43 > 8:40:42alert at Luton airport. No flights were allowed to take off or land

8:40:43 > 8:40:42after the discovery of a suspicious item in the security area. A bomb

8:40:43 > 8:40:42disposal team was sent to the airport. The airport is expected to

8:40:43 > 8:40:42reopen shortly after it carried out a controlled explosion.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42The TUC conference has got under way today. They say the recovery has

8:40:43 > 8:40:42The TUC conference has got under way been built on a big increase in the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42number of low paid jobs which is hurting families, despite economic

8:40:43 > 8:40:42growth. The Government said it would not take readers of its policies

8:40:43 > 8:40:42from union leaders earning 6-figure salaries.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Our industry correspondent reports. Janet and her daughter are having to

8:40:43 > 8:40:42move house. A nurse, this year she received a 1% pay rise. Now she is

8:40:43 > 8:40:42taking drastic action to cut her outgoings. It is a smaller house. It

8:40:43 > 8:40:42is not in the area I would choose to be in particularly. It is convenient

8:40:43 > 8:40:42for work. I have moved to cut costs with petrol and childcare. Was there

8:40:43 > 8:40:42no other option? I did not see any other option. With the rising costs

8:40:43 > 8:40:42of everything, I was unable to afford the rent I was playing. I am

8:40:43 > 8:40:42saving ?200 a month. Unions meeting in Liverpool say millions of workers

8:40:43 > 8:40:42in the public sector and elsewhere desperately need a pay rise. The

8:40:43 > 8:40:42economy may be on the mend, but the head of the TUC said there was no

8:40:43 > 8:40:42sign of that in workers' wages and any quality Kholi-macro -- and

8:40:43 > 8:40:42inequality was growing. Are we going to settle for a nasty and poor

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Britain? They don't abbey style society in which the living

8:40:43 > 8:40:42standards of the vast majority are sacrificed to pay for the high

8:40:43 > 8:40:42living of the world to do? -- a downturn abbey style society.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Initially workers in the private sector saw pay settlements fall but

8:40:43 > 8:40:42they have since bounced back to 2.5%. Pay deals in the public sector

8:40:43 > 8:40:42fell even lower. They are now capped at 1%. That has kept them below

8:40:43 > 8:40:42inflation for years, hence all the talk of a cost of living crisis.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Some who work in the private sector, like this union rep, have not fared

8:40:43 > 8:40:42so well. She is a part-time shop worker but her plate has not kept up

8:40:43 > 8:40:42with the cost of living. We have had a payroll is this year. It has

8:40:43 > 8:40:42turned out but it was 11p per hour from the -- we have had a pay rise

8:40:43 > 8:40:42this year. When the cost of the bills have gone up, I do not even

8:40:43 > 8:40:42notice it. The Government insists it is taking tough decisions to address

8:40:43 > 8:40:42the budget deficit and that pay restraint has protected public

8:40:43 > 8:40:42sector jobs. It has left people like Janet facing difficult choices.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42The former prime minister, Gordon Brown, has set out plans to give

8:40:43 > 8:40:42comprehensive new powers to the Scottish Parliament in the event of

8:40:43 > 8:40:42The fake identities used by fraudsters who tricked women

8:40:43 > 8:40:42using a dating website out of nearly ?250,000.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42has arrived in the Czech Republic to receive the form of treatment

8:40:43 > 8:40:42He's being examined by doctors at a hospital in Prague.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Brett and Naghmeh King were detained by Spanish police

8:40:43 > 8:40:42after taking their son from a hospital in Southampton where proton

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Our Correspondent Jenny Hill reports from Prague.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Another hospital, another country. The little boy whose parents

8:40:43 > 8:40:42travelled across Europe to get the treatment that they want for him.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42For the next five weeks, this is Ashya King's home. He is expected to

8:40:43 > 8:40:42spend some time in intensive care at one of Europe's largest hospitals.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42It has been proven that this treatment will help and my son has a

8:40:43 > 8:40:42better chance of not being in a vegetative state. We are happy.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42There is a small percentage of children who need our help, that is

8:40:43 > 8:40:42all. Doctors will assess Ashya King before he can begin the therapy. For

8:40:43 > 8:40:42that, he will need to travel to a private clinic, daily basis. The

8:40:43 > 8:40:42proton therapy centre opened two years ago. Few Czechoslovakian

8:40:43 > 8:40:42children have access to the treat in. -- treatment. It looks expensive

8:40:43 > 8:40:42and it is. The therapy will cost tens of thousands of pounds. This is

8:40:43 > 8:40:42what is behind the treatment room. This machine focuses the protons

8:40:43 > 8:40:42into that very precise beam. The treatment which divides medical

8:40:43 > 8:40:42opinion in this case targets cancer cells, but destroys less healthy

8:40:43 > 8:40:42tissue than conventional radiotherapy. We will be targeting

8:40:43 > 8:40:42the whole brain, and the spinal-cord. In the second phase, we

8:40:43 > 8:40:42will be targeting the tumour directly. It has been a long journey

8:40:43 > 8:40:42for Ashya King and his family. The treatment for which they have fought

8:40:43 > 8:40:42so desperately is expected to start next week.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42The EU says it is imposing further sanctions on Russia after his

8:40:43 > 8:40:42continued involvement in the Ukraine. Despite Friday's fragile

8:40:43 > 8:40:42cease-fire, people in eastern Ukraine are continuing to suffer.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Fergal Keane is in Marriot Paul. This is where water leads, to the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42coffins of Taji and APPLAUSE children. To the neighbours, who

8:40:43 > 8:40:42watched them grow up. The family want the story of Catalina, six, and

8:40:43 > 8:40:42her disabled brother, ten, to be known. Shell fire killed them both

8:40:43 > 8:40:42on the day that the cease-fire was declared. Their grandmother

8:40:43 > 8:40:42arrived. She was taking care of them when they were killed. She cries,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42God, why have you taken them? 23 children have died in this war. Like

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Nikita and Catalina, they lived in places where land became something

8:40:43 > 8:40:42men were willing to kill for. Children face death and displacement

8:40:43 > 8:40:42with their families, driven to makeshift camps like this Soviet

8:40:43 > 8:40:42holiday resort. The propaganda pictures of the forgotten heroes

8:40:43 > 8:40:42yellowing outside the bunk rooms. The war has distorted their lives,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42disrupted normality. I'll want to go home but there is now home to go

8:40:43 > 8:40:42to, she says. A shell wrecked our house. In the crowded bunk rooms,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42medical aid is being provided. Including the help of psychologists,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42for traumatised children. They have been traumatised by the conflict,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42keirin bombs and fleeing their homes, not being in their own

8:40:43 > 8:40:42keirin bombs and fleeing their keirin bombs. It is a serious

8:40:43 > 8:40:42situation. If the conflict continues, it will definitely

8:40:43 > 8:40:42worsened. The cease-fire is supposed to end the random cruelty that

8:40:43 > 8:40:42destroys the lives of children like Nikita Ankara Li Na. But for their

8:40:43 > 8:40:42parents, it is a truce empty of meaning. -- Nikita and Catalina.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42They were women who were looking for love online.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Instead they found themselves being scammed out of nearly a quarter

8:40:43 > 8:40:42of a million pounds by men they'd supposedly met on

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Today two men were found guilty of money laundering

8:40:43 > 8:40:42and tricking around 12 women who responded to a false profile.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42The women who used match.com had hoped to find friendship, not

8:40:43 > 8:40:42fraud. But instead of meeting a partner for life, they were

8:40:43 > 8:40:42exploited financially and emotionally. The fraud operated by

8:40:43 > 8:40:42creating fake profiles of men including this one and James

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Richards. He did not exist as many women thought that he did. They

8:40:43 > 8:40:42produced these documents, asking women to pay fictitious legal bills

8:40:43 > 8:40:42in India. Among those targeted, Suzanne Hardman, on the left. She

8:40:43 > 8:40:42lost ?174,000 after the nonexistent Richards lured her into believing

8:40:43 > 8:40:42they were falling in love. His private e-mails to her showed how

8:40:43 > 8:40:42the fraudster cynically tried to entrap women like her. He

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Using romantic language like that, fraudsters, posing as real people,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42would often spend weeks playing with the emotion of the women. In all,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42around a dozen were tricked into handing over nearly a quarter of ?1

8:40:43 > 8:40:42million. Sarah Jane Johnson was not involved in this trial but was

8:40:43 > 8:40:42subject to an identical scam on match.com. I feel stupid. How could

8:40:43 > 8:40:42I be conned by someone who is not a real person? It is a group of people

8:40:43 > 8:40:42creating a fantasy. For someone to believe in. And I'd totally got

8:40:43 > 8:40:42caught up in it because it was what I wanted to believe. Match.com told

8:40:43 > 8:40:42us that people who use the site should be careful about giving out

8:40:43 > 8:40:42their private contact details. Police say that this is the type of

8:40:43 > 8:40:42con that has left women feeling used and embarrassed, tricked in the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42pursuit of love. and embarrassed, tricked in the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42As we have heard they are, with slightly ahead for the first time.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42markets, and days slightly ahead for the first time.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42campaign, our special correspondent has joined those who have been out

8:40:43 > 8:40:42on the campaign trail. At campaign headquarters, they are

8:40:43 > 8:40:42undaunted by the value of the At campaign headquarters, they are

8:40:43 > 8:40:42or shaky share prices. Here, you say that Dundee is yes city, so great

8:40:43 > 8:40:42has been the defection of Labour voters to the independent scores.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42But what difference has yesterday's poll, giving them a narrow lead

8:40:43 > 8:40:42But what difference has yesterday's the first time, made? Would give yes

8:40:43 > 8:40:42voters pause? Might be a last-minute loss of nerve? I would say the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42contrary. As people are starting to realise that we cannot do this, they

8:40:43 > 8:40:42are starting to find the nerve. People who might have been sitting

8:40:43 > 8:40:42on the fence before, not totally convinced that we would do it, now

8:40:43 > 8:40:42they understand that we can do this and they are finding their nerve.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42What will win it or lose it for the yes campaign is the ability to

8:40:43 > 8:40:42maximise the boat in places like this on working Scotland, where

8:40:43 > 8:40:42people's natural inclination in the past has been to vote for Labour. To

8:40:43 > 8:40:42do that, they will have to reassure people that negative reaction in the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42international markets and the global economy will be short lived. The yes

8:40:43 > 8:40:42campaigners say that it is Westminster that is stalking

8:40:43 > 8:40:42uncertainty and nervousness. If there is uncertainty here, the blame

8:40:43 > 8:40:42for that has to lie with the UK government. They are refusing to

8:40:43 > 8:40:42have sensible discussions with the Scottish government about a currency

8:40:43 > 8:40:42union and the kind of things that would help give reassurance to those

8:40:43 > 8:40:42markets. Yesterday's Paul gave the yes campaign a 2-point lead. The

8:40:43 > 8:40:42first time they have forged ahead since the beginning of the campaign.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42An aggregate of recent polls suggest that the once commanding lead of the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42prounion site has almost vanished. I think we are winning the argument.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42We will win the referendum next week because people will see that the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42stakes could not be higher as we approach polling day. We do not have

8:40:43 > 8:40:42to break up the country to make Scotland better and stronger. Are

8:40:43 > 8:40:42they reassured by that in the other Scotland, the Scotland that still

8:40:43 > 8:40:42feels British? At Kelso, in the Borders, some are dismayed that the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42no campaign seem to have lost their lead in a month. I'm worried about

8:40:43 > 8:40:42what will happen. If Scotland goes independent, what will happen to my

8:40:43 > 8:40:42pension and my health care? And also, what will happen to my family

8:40:43 > 8:40:42who live here? It is a worrying time. It is a huge decision. It is

8:40:43 > 8:40:42the biggest that we will ever make. You can change the government from

8:40:43 > 8:40:42time to time, if you wish, but this, this is forever. But the momentum is

8:40:43 > 8:40:42with the yes campaign now. Prounion leaders must hope that action on

8:40:43 > 8:40:42more powers for the Scottish Parliament, however late in the day,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42will halt that. Picking up on Alan's last point, in just over half

8:40:43 > 8:40:42an hour, Gordon Brown will be making that speech not far from Edinburgh.

8:40:43 > 8:40:42A new timetable for legislating, very soon, to propose new powers for

8:40:43 > 8:40:42the Scottish Parliament. What is the significance of that? Nick

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Robinson, your thoughts? Significance, first and foremost, is

8:40:43 > 8:40:42that it is being made by Gordon Brown, not the Prime Minister. Why

8:40:43 > 8:40:42not? He is to English and to Tory. But not Ed Miliband, the leader of

8:40:43 > 8:40:42the Labour Party, who was shown to be as little trusted as Mr Cameron

8:40:43 > 8:40:42by voters in Scotland. And not by Alistair Darling, who has had a bad

8:40:43 > 8:40:42couple of weeks when he confronted Alex Salmond. But like Gordon Brown,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Scottish, labour, trusted more than any other figure on that side of the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42campaign. The promise of new powers to the Scottish Parliament is far

8:40:43 > 8:40:42from new. The no campaign has been saying it repeatedly. They are

8:40:43 > 8:40:42trying to energise it by making a timetable. Voters have a choice. Do

8:40:43 > 8:40:42they believe the Westminster parties will deliver on the promise, reach

8:40:43 > 8:40:42agreement and passed new laws sometime soon, or do they say, no,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42we want a complete guarantee and therefore we will vote yes to

8:40:43 > 8:40:42independence? Nick Robinson, thank you very much. A quick reminder that

8:40:43 > 8:40:42there will be coverage on the BBC News Channel of that speech by

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Gordon Brown. Back to you, Sophie. Time for a look at the weather. It

8:40:43 > 8:40:42is looking pretty good over the next few days. A large area of high

8:40:43 > 8:40:42pressure dominating things. It will be dry all week long with very

8:40:43 > 8:40:42little cloud and some sunshine. Here is the area of high pressure

8:40:43 > 8:40:42drifting in from the Atlantic. Through the day, it will become

8:40:43 > 8:40:42firmly established. Plenty of opportunities for getting out and

8:40:43 > 8:40:42about. Will we see the sunshine, clear skies overnight and with clear

8:40:43 > 8:40:42skies, we will sea mist and fog forming. North-western areas the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42most prone to that. Turning cold in major towns and cities. In rural

8:40:43 > 8:40:42spots, down to three and four. In rural spots, it could get close to

8:40:43 > 8:40:42freezing. Chilly to start the day. The fog is most likely to be found

8:40:43 > 8:40:42in north-western parts of the UK visibility could get low. -- but

8:40:43 > 8:40:42visibility. Poor visibility, so bear that in mind if you are heading out

8:40:43 > 8:40:42on the roads or to the airport. The fog will lift readily through the

8:40:43 > 8:40:42morning with good spells of sunshine to be found. For the southern half

8:40:43 > 8:40:42of the UK, more cloud around that if you see more cloud, it will be

8:40:43 > 8:40:42bright and that. Still lengthy spells of sunshine. It looks like a

8:40:43 > 8:40:42decent day across the board. Light wind, and temperatures getting into

8:40:43 > 8:40:42the low 20s. Feeling pleasant. Probably warmer in the North of

8:40:43 > 8:40:42Scotland. Chilly to start the day on Wednesday with mist and fog. The

8:40:43 > 8:40:42best of sunny spells further north and west. Thursday and Friday, dry

8:40:43 > 8:40:42and bright with variable amounts of cloud. Where you get the sunshine,

8:40:43 > 8:40:42it will feel pleasantly warm. That's all from the BBC News at Six.

8:40:43 > 8:40:43So it's goodbye from me,
