:02:26. > :02:29.It's a clear sign, according to Alex Salmond,
:02:30. > :02:32.the First Minister, that the Better Together campaign is in absolute

:03:06. > :03:10.but is the hoisting of the Saltire over Downing Street also a sign of
:03:11. > :03:15.growing desperation, even panic? For Westminster has woken up late in the
:03:16. > :03:19.data the possibility Scotland might just vote for independence. It has
:03:20. > :03:23.brought the three party leaders together to set their differences
:03:24. > :03:29.aside and show a united front. There is a lot that the political leaders
:03:30. > :03:33.disagree about, but one thing all agree about passionately is that the
:03:34. > :03:38.UK is better off if we stay together. Tomorrow the right place
:03:39. > :03:43.to be is not at Westminster, it is being in Scotland, listening and
:03:44. > :03:47.talking to people. The greatest pressure is on Ed Miliband. In
:03:48. > :03:51.Liverpool today he also flew the cross of St Andrew. He has to
:03:52. > :03:55.demonstrate to increasingly sceptical Labour voters in Scotland
:03:56. > :04:01.that his party still represents traditional Labour values, and that
:04:02. > :04:06.he offers a real and credible alternative to David Cameron. A vote
:04:07. > :04:10.for no is not a vote for no change, it is a vote for change in terms of
:04:11. > :04:15.more devolution of power and a vote for change as far as I am concerned
:04:16. > :04:20.in the way our economy and country works because we have heard the call
:04:21. > :04:23.for change from the voters of Scotland. In Edinburgh the three
:04:24. > :04:28.Scottish party leaders appeared together to reinforce the impression
:04:29. > :04:31.of party unity. They agreed on the timetable to deliver more powers to
:04:32. > :04:35.the Scottish Parliament, their difficulty is that they still don't
:04:36. > :04:40.agree on what the powers should be. They agree on a combination of new
:04:41. > :04:46.powers over welfare, borrowing and tax. Labour want to give Holyrood
:04:47. > :04:50.the power to vary income tax by up to 15p in the pound. The
:04:51. > :04:54.Conservatives want to grant the Scottish Parliament full control
:04:55. > :05:00.over all personal income tax accrued in Scotland. The Lib Dems are the
:05:01. > :05:03.most radical, offering to devolve most tax raising powers to
:05:04. > :05:06.Edinburgh. This intervention is a risk for all three party leaders.
:05:07. > :05:10.David Cameron and Nick Clegg know that they are unpopular in Scotland
:05:11. > :05:15.and that interventions can often make things worse here by alienating
:05:16. > :05:19.more people than they persuade, but it is a particular risk for Ed
:05:20. > :05:23.Miliband. The polls show it is Labour voters who have been crossing
:05:24. > :05:28.to the yes side in such large numbers that the polls have drawn
:05:29. > :05:32.level. He needs to win some of them back. Is standing shoulder to
:05:33. > :05:37.shoulder with an unpopular Tory prime minister the best way to do
:05:38. > :05:40.that? Or will it play into the hands of the Nationalists who have been
:05:41. > :05:46.arguing there is no real difference between any of the free Westminster
:05:47. > :05:49.parties? We have the most unpopular Conservative prime minister in
:05:50. > :05:53.Scottish political history joined at the hip with the most mistrusted
:05:54. > :06:00.Labour leader of the opposition ever in Scottish politics, coming to
:06:01. > :06:04.Scotland together, with the entire Westminster establishment in a total
:06:05. > :06:09.panic. If I thought they were coming by bus, I would send them their bus
:06:10. > :06:14.fare. Gordon Brown, who announced the timetable for transferring more
:06:15. > :06:19.powers to Scotland last night, has seemed highly reluctant to appear in
:06:20. > :06:22.public throughout the campaign with Conservative members of Better
:06:23. > :06:26.Together. His allies say he knows the damage that such displays of
:06:27. > :06:31.unity can do to Labour 's reputation and its message in traditional
:06:32. > :06:35.Labour strongholds. Strongholds like his own constituency in Kirkcaldy.
:06:36. > :06:44.Today I found few here whose minds had been changed by the promise of
:06:45. > :06:48.greater powers after a no vote. Do you not believe them about
:06:49. > :06:53.transferring specific powers to Holyrood? No, because they do a
:06:54. > :06:57.U-turn every time. No one believes it. If that were the case, there
:06:58. > :07:02.would have been devolution max on the ballot paper from the start. I
:07:03. > :07:07.am not SNP but Alex Salmond encouraged that and they no. I know
:07:08. > :07:11.that people say it is too little, too late, but at the same time,
:07:12. > :07:17.people are quite anxious because there are a lot of anxious people
:07:18. > :07:21.about. That might be a reassurance to them. The three leaders won't
:07:22. > :07:29.appear together tomorrow but they are mounting an unprecedented show
:07:30. > :07:33.of unity, aimed at keeping Scotland inside the British fold. We will
:07:34. > :07:38.have more on the campaign in just a moment but before that let's go to
:07:39. > :07:42.Westminster and speak to our deputy political editor, James Landale.
:07:43. > :07:47.What do you make of the announcement today and what can we expect
:07:48. > :07:51.tomorrow? The party leaders at Westminster have been focusing on
:07:52. > :07:55.facts and figures and today we are seeing an attempt to appeal more to
:07:56. > :07:59.the hard to the head. That is why they are rushing to Scotland
:08:00. > :08:04.tomorrow, that is why high above me the Saltire is flying above Downing
:08:05. > :08:07.Street and other government departments. They are trying to
:08:08. > :08:14.inject passion and emotion into their argument, their claim that
:08:15. > :08:18.they want Scotland to remain part of the UK. Not surprisingly there are
:08:19. > :08:23.risks involved in this, they know they are very unpopular in Scotland.
:08:24. > :08:27.Tonight Alex Salmond said he was delighted they are coming up because
:08:28. > :08:32.he believes this is gesture politics and a last-minute panic measure, but
:08:33. > :08:36.the three party leaders believe that somehow by putting aside party
:08:37. > :08:41.differences they can convince Scottish voters that they are
:08:42. > :08:45.serious about this. One of the big campaign themes so far has been
:08:46. > :08:49.currency and what kind of currency Scotland would use as an independent
:08:50. > :08:54.country, and with that in mind the governor of the Bank of England has
:08:55. > :08:58.been saying something today. Yes, Mark Carney was at the Trade Union
:08:59. > :09:03.Congress today, and he was asked about the currency. He said that you
:09:04. > :09:07.can only really have currency union if you have the free movement of
:09:08. > :09:12.capital goods, some kind of banking union, some kind of shared tax
:09:13. > :09:16.arrangements, and today he said with all that in mind, that currency
:09:17. > :09:22.would be incompatible with Scottish sovereignty. Downing Street and
:09:23. > :09:26.others are saying this is a toughening of his position. In the
:09:27. > :09:30.past when he was asked about this, he simply said currency union would
:09:31. > :09:35.require some seeding of national sovereignty, now he is saying it is
:09:36. > :09:38.incompatible. You have the no campaign summed up, on the one hand
:09:39. > :09:42.the party leaders trying to put out a positive message, but equally
:09:43. > :09:47.there was continued warnings of what they see as the negative
:09:48. > :09:52.implications of independence. Thank you. Both sides in this campaign
:09:53. > :09:57.managed to agree on one thing, that there are hundreds of thousands of
:09:58. > :10:00.voters who are undecided, and of course they will be voting next
:10:01. > :10:08.week, and the factors involved are variable.
:10:09. > :10:10.Our Scotland correspondent Lorna Gordon has been talking to
:10:11. > :10:21.They may not have a vote but it is their future being debated, fought
:10:22. > :10:25.over, and will soon be decided. The mothers at this toddler group are
:10:26. > :10:29.focused on their children but also listening closely to the arguments
:10:30. > :10:35.and promises being made, and both sides know that the female vote may
:10:36. > :10:39.be key. I am voting yes at this referendum because I see it as an
:10:40. > :10:44.opportunity to protect our vulnerable people - the elderly,
:10:45. > :10:56.disabled and children. I am still undecided. I was going to vote no
:10:57. > :11:00.but now I am undecided. I find it all quite sad and I think we should
:11:01. > :11:05.stay together. Recent polling suggests support for independence is
:11:06. > :11:08.increasing amongst women voters. Both sides have been targeting their
:11:09. > :11:14.messages towards key groups of the electorate in Scotland, those voters
:11:15. > :11:18.still think they have a chance to sway in the final few days of the
:11:19. > :11:23.campaign. Central now to this campaign are the views of that one
:11:24. > :11:27.third or so of people in Scotland, most of whom have an inclination of
:11:28. > :11:33.what they are going to do but have not definitely made up their mind.
:11:34. > :11:48.These folk are disproportionately women and younger people. There is
:11:49. > :11:56.another part of society in which it is strong, the elderly. Better
:11:57. > :12:01.Together are appealing to the shared history and the security of the
:12:02. > :12:07.larger UK, so are the views of older voters firm and fixed? I like the
:12:08. > :12:11.idea of the United Kingdom, and having come through the war when
:12:12. > :12:16.there was so much camaraderie, that is just the way I am. If you had to
:12:17. > :12:22.vote today, which way would it be? I am inclined to vote yes. I think the
:12:23. > :12:26.traditional parties have had their chance and not made a very good job
:12:27. > :12:34.of it in the past. This referendum is neck and neck.
:12:35. > :12:40.With me is our Scotland political editor, Brian Taylor.
:12:41. > :12:50.After today's events, is it right to say that for so many people after
:12:51. > :12:55.such a long campaign, not much will change their mind now? It is coming
:12:56. > :13:03.to a close. We talk about the undecided as a distinct group, but
:13:04. > :13:11.many people may go from yes to know or no to yes. The no camp have
:13:12. > :13:16.recalibrated their campaign. We have had three offers previously, one was
:13:17. > :13:20.the idea of more powers, one was the idea of emotion, a patriotic link,
:13:21. > :13:24.and the third was on the issue of risks saying there was a challenge
:13:25. > :13:29.involved in independence. They are taking that third one and parking it
:13:30. > :13:34.for a moment, stressing the upside, the offer of more powers and an
:13:35. > :13:43.enhanced position for the Scottish Government. Alex Salmond is saying
:13:44. > :13:51.it isn't sufficient, it isn't what Scots need. People have only just
:13:52. > :13:54.over a week to make up their mind. We'll be back a little later
:13:55. > :13:57.in Edinburgh and we'll be exploring views on Scottish independence
:13:58. > :13:59.in the north of England. The police chief who ran
:14:00. > :14:05.South Yorkshire during the time of the Rotherham sex abuse scandal
:14:06. > :14:09.says he had no idea of the scale or scope of child abuse in the town
:14:10. > :14:12.during the period he was in charge. The former chief constable
:14:13. > :14:15.Meredith John Hughes has told the Home Affairs Select Committee he
:14:16. > :14:18.had no idea it was going on and is embarrassed
:14:19. > :14:20.at the failure to stop it. But the committee's chair said he
:14:21. > :14:23.found his evidence unconvincing. Our Social Affairs Correspondent
:14:24. > :14:38.Alison Holt reports. The scandal of what happened here in
:14:39. > :14:43.Rotherham of 1400 children sexually exploited over 16 years has left
:14:44. > :14:47.deep scars but also many questions. Today MPs challenged those in
:14:48. > :14:52.authority in the town of why so many were failed for so long. First
:14:53. > :14:58.before the Home Affairs Select Committee was the former Chief
:14:59. > :15:03.Constable of South Yorkshire. Facing hostile questions under oath, he
:15:04. > :15:09.maintained he had no idea of the scale or scope of exploitation in
:15:10. > :15:15.Rotherham. I have had a 32 year police career and yet on this issue
:15:16. > :15:22.I have failed the victims of these criminals, and it hurts. It is
:15:23. > :15:26.something that I loathe, but to say that I am either misleading or lying
:15:27. > :15:31.to this committee, I can only answer by saying I welcome the fact there
:15:32. > :15:34.will be an independent inquiry. And for this father who doesn't want to
:15:35. > :15:38.be identified, that inquiry will also have to explain why police
:15:39. > :15:44.officers arrested him when he tried to get his missing daughter back. He
:15:45. > :15:48.says they threatened to charge him with harassment. They have left
:15:49. > :15:52.children and families at risk and devastated, and this is still
:15:53. > :15:57.affecting all of us now. All we are asking for now is for somebody in
:15:58. > :16:03.authority to admit what they have done. The anger of families is also
:16:04. > :16:09.directed at the head of Rotherham's child protection services. This file
:16:10. > :16:13.was passed to you containing a huge amount of information. The committee
:16:14. > :16:20.was told Joyce Thacker had regular briefings on child sexual
:16:21. > :16:25.exploitation dating back to 2006. Why have you not resigned? I worked
:16:26. > :16:29.hard with colleagues to make sure we had a good offer today. I take my
:16:30. > :16:35.responsibilities seriously and I don't intend to resign. The scrutiny
:16:36. > :16:40.is far from over for those in power in Rotherham. Tomorrow another group
:16:41. > :16:44.of MPs will close the council's chief executive, who yesterday
:16:45. > :16:48.announced he was standing down, and the director of children's services
:16:49. > :16:53.will face yet more difficult questions. But the victims of
:16:54. > :16:56.exploitation in this town have waited a long time to find out why
:16:57. > :17:04.for so many years they didn't get the protection they needed.

:22:37. > :22:44.dochl others think it's madness. The debate is as bitter as ever. Born
:22:45. > :22:50.over night, these twin calves, their father, earny, tested mostive for TB

:23:02. > :23:07.better than most what culling is about. I understand people get upset
:23:08. > :23:11.about culling badgers. It's an essential part of controlling TB in
:23:12. > :23:15.cattle and wildlife. We must get our countryside free of TB. To do that,
:23:16. > :23:20.you have to take the disease reservoir out being which is, in
:23:21. > :23:23.this area, badgers. Last year 1,800 badgers were killed in the pilot
:23:24. > :23:27.areas. It wasn't effective or humane, according to the
:23:28. > :23:32.Government's own independent panel. Apparently, though lessons have been
:23:33. > :23:37.learned. Many protesters believe there is another way. They point to
:23:38. > :23:41.Wales, the number of cattle slaughtered due to bovine TB has
:23:42. > :23:47.dropped to almost half down to increased cattle. Sick cattle are
:23:48. > :23:50.identified and not moved around. It's a hideous disease. A lot of us
:23:51. > :23:57.live in rural communities. A lot of people from the cull zone. We see
:23:58. > :24:03.every day what happens to farmers whose cattle come down with BTB.
:24:04. > :24:07.Killing badgers isn't the way to deal with it. So what it? People
:24:08. > :24:10.still can't agree. More now on the referendum campaign,
:24:11. > :24:14.with Huw, in Edinburgh. Just nine days to go until the
:24:15. > :24:18.referendum on independence, there's a real sense of momentum in this
:24:19. > :24:21.campaign, both sides fighting to win But the campaign is also raising
:24:22. > :24:26.questions for tens of millions of people in England, Wales
:24:27. > :24:29.and Northern Ireland, who won't have a say next week, on whether
:24:30. > :24:32.the United Kingdom survives. My colleague, Reeta Chakrabarti,
:24:33. > :24:45.has been talking to people It's not just people who have the
:24:46. > :24:49.vote who have strong views on Scottish independence. Here in
:24:50. > :24:53.Chesterfield, people have been both emotional and engaged about what the
:24:54. > :25:04.vote might mean for them, despite being many miles outside Scotland.
:25:05. > :25:07.Chesterfield market bustling beneath's the Crooked Spire. No-one
:25:08. > :25:11.living here can vote in the Scottish referendum, but they have strong
:25:12. > :25:15.political leanings when the issue is discussed. Three generations out
:25:16. > :25:19.shopping. The adults don't want Scotland to leave the UK and wish
:25:20. > :25:22.they had the vote. They are part of us. Part of the United Kingdom.
:25:23. > :25:29.Therefore, we should have a say in what happens. It years to come it
:25:30. > :25:33.will affect him and his future children and on and on as not having
:25:34. > :25:37.the United Kingdom as a whole. Market trader Nick says it's up to
:25:38. > :25:40.the Scots to decide their own future. He is strongly against
:25:41. > :25:44.offering them more powers if they vote No. I don't think they have a
:25:45. > :25:48.bad deal, as things go. Why should they get more because they are
:25:49. > :25:52.threatening to break away from us. Why should they be given cherries on
:25:53. > :25:58.the cake, so to speak? This is the deal, either they want in or want
:25:59. > :26:02.out. The tourist village in the Peak District attracts people from all
:26:03. > :26:05.over the country, among them Ian Whitehead from Nottingham who
:26:06. > :26:12.sympathies with Scots who want independence. I see the centre of
:26:13. > :26:15.gravity, the political establishment, the political elite
:26:16. > :26:20.favouring the south. Where can we go to create a fairer and more just
:26:21. > :26:24.society? If the Scots decide to take that into their own hands, I will
:26:25. > :26:31.take my hat off to them, to be honest. Others bemoan the exclusion
:26:32. > :26:37.of the rest of the UK from the debate. English people have been
:26:38. > :26:40.largely ignored, their opinions. I personally think that Scottish
:26:41. > :26:44.people don't really care what English people feel. Or what Welsh
:26:45. > :26:48.people or people from Northern Ireland what they feel about going
:26:49. > :26:53.their own way. This is untrodden territory for both Scotland and the
:26:54. > :26:58.other nations of the UK. Those powerless to influence events can
:26:59. > :27:08.only watch and wait. Reeta Chakrabarti, BBC News, Chesterfield.
:27:09. > :27:10.There's more coverage of the referendum campaign on the BBC News
:27:11. > :27:14.Don't forget there's plenty of analysis and latest developments
:27:15. > :27:17.on the BBC News website, bbc.co.uk/scotlanddecides.
:27:18. > :27:25.Now it's time for the weather with Jay Wynne.
:27:26. > :27:32.A lovely day across most parts of the United Kingdom. This large area
:27:33. > :27:36.of high pressure has become firmly established. It will stick around
:27:37. > :27:41.well on into the weekend. It will keep things fine and settled. A lot
:27:42. > :27:44.of dry weather in the forecast. Variable amounts of cloud. Most of
:27:45. > :27:49.us will see sunshine in the coming few days. Over night dry virtually
:27:50. > :27:53.every where. Rain to the north of Scotland. Elsewhere, dry with clear
:27:54. > :28:00.spells. We will see mist and fog forming, mainly in the north and
:28:01. > :28:04.west. 11-12 degrees, in the countryside two or three degrees.
:28:05. > :28:10.The north of Scotland will have rain in the morning to the far north. The
:28:11. > :28:14.mainland, patches of fog, it could be misty and murky for the morning
:28:15. > :28:17.commute. Patches of fog in northern England, Northern Ireland, through
:28:18. > :28:22.Wales and the south-west. They are patches of fog. Not everywhere will
:28:23. > :28:25.see them. The Midlands, East Anglia and south-east will be clear of fog.
:28:26. > :28:30.A dry, bright start to the day with light winds and sunshine. There will
:28:31. > :28:33.be subtle differences compared with today, the eastern side of England
:28:34. > :28:37.will see more cloud around. It will be fine and dry. Here there will be
:28:38. > :28:43.spells of sunshine. The north-will see less cloud. With light winds and
:28:44. > :28:47.sunshine the temperatures will be up 20 degrees in Glasgow, 21 for
:28:48. > :28:52.Cardiff and London. Thursday looks like a decent day for most areas.
:28:53. > :28:56.Cloud for eastern parts of England, staying dry. North and west lots of
:28:57. > :29:00.sunshine, light winds and 20 degrees for Belfast and Glasgow. Friday and
:29:01. > :29:05.Saturday a bit more in the way of cloud, it should stay fine and dry.
:29:06. > :29:07.Even if it is a bit cloudy we should see sunshine coming through. All in
:29:08. > :29:10.all looking pretty good. Sophie. Thank you very much indeed. That is
:29:11. > :29:15.it from Edinburgh we will be back good.
