:02:23. > :02:39.No to this. No to this... No to this... And even no to talks about a

:02:44. > :02:46.pulling apart, we should be working together, to get that right deal for
:02:47. > :02:52.Scotland, that right deal for the UK, as I say that is my job as Prime
:02:53. > :02:58.Minister, and so for that reason, I say to the SNP, now is not the time.
:02:59. > :03:04.The Prime Minister's Westminster message deliberately timed to land
:03:05. > :03:07.in Edinburgh. Just moments after the First Minister's weekly grilling
:03:08. > :03:11.where Nicola Sturgeon's audacious vow to hold a second referendum was
:03:12. > :03:16.the main order of the day. We don't want it, we don't need it. Why won't

:03:22. > :03:25.Does she plan to spend the next few years leading a government or a

:03:37. > :03:42.can't it is bluster just again. ? The band is well and truly back
:03:43. > :03:47.together, isn't it. Tory and Labour combining again, to talk this
:03:48. > :03:50.country down. Number Ten's refusal to discuss
:03:51. > :03:55.another independence referendum for two years could well backfire.
:03:56. > :04:01.But these two tough normally cautious politicians are both taking
:04:02. > :04:05.gambles. I think it would be completely unacceptable, and
:04:06. > :04:09.outrageous, and almost anti-democratic for a Conservative
:04:10. > :04:12.Government with one MP to seek to block the democratic will of the
:04:13. > :04:20.Scottish Parliament. That seems to be like going back to the bad old
:04:21. > :04:23.days of Margaret Thatcher. Here is Number Ten's cam lacing, a majority
:04:24. > :04:28.of Scots voters chose this centre of power the last time out and private
:04:29. > :04:31.Tory focus groups over the last few months suggest their message of not

:04:40. > :04:42.thing again. But for others, it will be patronising, arrogant, even.
:04:43. > :04:45.Technically it is down to Westminster to say yes or no but
:04:46. > :04:50.telling the Scottish Government they can't even talk about another
:04:51. > :04:54.referendum for two years, risky doesn't begin to cover it. Only a
:04:55. > :04:59.week ago, expectations were that the SNP was getting a big move ready, as
:05:00. > :05:03.they prepare for their Spring Conference that will start this
:05:04. > :05:05.weekend. But before that stage is set, the drama whose ending will
:05:06. > :05:09.affect us all is well under way. Our Scotland Sarah Smith
:05:10. > :05:15.is at Holyrood in Edinburgh. What's the response
:05:16. > :05:25.in Scotland, and what is Well, Nicola Sturgeon's defiant
:05:26. > :05:29.response is she is not going to take no for an answer, and she thinks she
:05:30. > :05:33.can turn this battle with Theresa May to her advantage, the Scottish
:05:34. > :05:36.Government were fully expecting this response from Downing Street and
:05:37. > :05:40.they are ready with their next move, they will proceed with a vote in the
:05:41. > :05:44.Scottish Parliament on Wednesday, which is certain to vote for another
:05:45. > :05:48.referendum. And they will request formally from the Prime Minister
:05:49. > :05:52.that referendum, so that she has to officially deny it. Something they
:05:53. > :05:55.will say is a democratic outrage, defying the will of the elected
:05:56. > :06:00.Scottish Parliament. And the SNP could for now turn this into a
:06:01. > :06:04.debate that is not about the rights and wrongs of independence but
:06:05. > :06:07.rather about who is it that should get to decide when or if Scotland
:06:08. > :06:12.has another referendum. The Tories are well aware that two heavy-handed
:06:13. > :06:14.a response from Westminster could backfire, as Laura mentioned there,
:06:15. > :06:19.they have been conducting focus groups all over the country, trying
:06:20. > :06:23.to, who out what voters would think is a reasonable way to proceed. They
:06:24. > :06:27.obviously think they are on the right side of that line, but it is a
:06:28. > :06:31.tricky one and the SNP do still think that if Scots think they are
:06:32. > :06:34.being denied the right for a vote, maybe people who don't want a
:06:35. > :06:38.referendum at the moment, might think they shouldn't be denieded
:06:39. > :06:41.that vote and that could build support not just for a referendum
:06:42. > :06:45.The Conservative Party has been fined a record ?70,000
:06:46. > :06:47.for breaking spending rules during the 2015 general election,
:06:48. > :06:50.The Electoral Commission said there had been significant failures
:06:51. > :06:53.in the reporting of expenses, and that there was a "realistic
:06:54. > :06:55.prospect" the money had given the party an advantage.
:06:56. > :06:57.12 police forces have now asked the Crown Prosecution Service
:06:58. > :07:00.The Conservative Party insists any failures were due
:07:01. > :07:14.That vote and that could build support not just for a referendum
:07:15. > :07:20.but independence itself. Let us campaign. The South Thanet
:07:21. > :07:24.constituency in 2015, where the Conservatives were battling Nigel
:07:25. > :07:30.Farage. Desperate to stop him winning a seat. Any chance... They
:07:31. > :07:36.poured big names and resources into it. Now they have been given the
:07:37. > :07:40.biggest fine, ?70,000, for breaking the rules on recording election
:07:41. > :07:44.spending. Here, and elsewhere. We have never issued findings to
:07:45. > :07:48.that extent before, and I think they are some of the worst in the fact
:07:49. > :07:52.that they were unable to provide evidence when we needed it and the
:07:53. > :08:00.reports were inaccurate and the spending returns did not contain
:08:01. > :08:03.things they should have done. The Tory candidate won the seat, his
:08:04. > :08:06.official expenses after the campaign showed he was within the local
:08:07. > :08:11.spending limit, but the party's spending in the area is now under
:08:12. > :08:17.question. The Conservative Party spent thousands of pounds on hotels
:08:18. > :08:20.here in South Thanet, is a,000 in a single hotel on the hill here, in
:08:21. > :08:26.Ramsgate and the Electoral Commission says at least some of
:08:27. > :08:30.that money should have been included in the local candidate's election
:08:31. > :08:34.expenses. One of the local Ukip leading lights total me they felt
:08:35. > :08:40.the Conservative Party had cheated. Just the sheer number of bodies, the
:08:41. > :08:44.sheer number of full-time staff down here, the sheer number of buses that
:08:45. > :08:49.were bringing in volunteers, they were all fed and watered and had
:08:50. > :08:53.money spend on them. The Conservative Party also had battle
:08:54. > :08:57.buses of activists touring other marginal seats, again, the Electoral
:08:58. > :09:01.Commission says that some costs should have been put on local
:09:02. > :09:07.candidate's expense, possibly pushing them over spending limits.
:09:08. > :09:09.So far 12 police forces have sent files to the Crown Prosecution
:09:10. > :09:13.Service, Kent Police is not one of them. Then there was money missed
:09:14. > :09:19.off the Tory's national experiences all together. More than ?3800 for
:09:20. > :09:25.hotel rooms in Margate, over ?63,000 of spending on the battle bus tours
:09:26. > :09:31.and almost 105,00 pounds of other spending. We have complied fully
:09:32. > :09:33.with the Electoral Commission throughout their investigations,
:09:34. > :09:35.they have imposed a fine on the Conservative Party and the
:09:36. > :09:40.Conservative Party will be meeting that fine. We will pay that fine.
:09:41. > :09:45.If there are criminal prosecutions, they could lead to by-elections for
:09:46. > :09:49.in constituencies like South Thanet. Recently Labour and the Liberal
:09:50. > :09:51.Democrats have also been fined for illegal expenses returns, the
:09:52. > :09:55.Electoral Commission is worried that parties are starting to see the
:09:56. > :09:57.fines as a cost of doing business, rather than a way of keeping British
:09:58. > :10:07.elections fair. The leaders of France and Germany
:10:08. > :10:09.have hailed the result of the general election
:10:10. > :10:11.in the Netherlands, where the Prime Minister Mark Rutte

:10:30. > :10:32.been involved in a dispute It is not being treated
:10:33. > :10:35.as a terror attack. A 17-year-old student
:10:36. > :10:40.has been arrested. A former British cyclist has told
:10:41. > :10:43.the BBC that he broke the sport's rules by secretly injecting himself
:10:44. > :10:45.with vitamins when Josh Edmondson says he admitted it
:10:46. > :10:49.to Team Sky in 2014, Team Sky say they did not report
:10:50. > :10:53.the incident because Edmondson denied self-injecting,
:10:54. > :10:55.and because they were concerned Our sports editor Dan Roan has
:10:56. > :11:04.this exclusive report. He was one of British
:11:05. > :11:06.cycling's top young talents, a team-mate to legends,
:11:07. > :11:09.but beneath the surface, former Team Sky rider,
:11:10. > :11:11.Josh Edmondson was struggling to deal with the pressure
:11:12. > :11:13.and for the first time, the 24-year-old has broken his
:11:14. > :11:16.silence about the depression he suffered, telling me he linked it
:11:17. > :11:18.to the controversial painkiller Tramadol which he secretly took
:11:19. > :11:26.to get through training and races. The dangerous thing
:11:27. > :11:29.about it is you don't know when you are coming to your limit,
:11:30. > :11:31.so, I'd be pushing and pushing and pushing and normally
:11:32. > :11:34.you would just be - I can't keep going, but you just go
:11:35. > :11:37.a little bit further than that. It is not a performance-enhancing
:11:38. > :11:39.drug, it doesn't It feels like you are hungover,
:11:40. > :11:44.almost, so you need it I think the reason for all that,
:11:45. > :11:54.just immediately after a race, I was at the point where I didn't
:11:55. > :11:58.leave the house for two months. It doesn't really get
:11:59. > :12:00.much worse than that, While it's not banned, Team Sky have
:12:01. > :12:04.had a strict no Tramadol, policy since 2013 and there is no
:12:05. > :12:07.suggestion they were aware of Edmondson's use of the painkiller
:12:08. > :12:10.but he then says he went a step no-needle rule by self-injecting
:12:11. > :12:23.a cocktail of legal vitamins he bought from Italy in the build-up
:12:24. > :12:27.to a major race in 2014. I bought the butterfly clips,
:12:28. > :12:29.the syringes, the carnitine, folic acid,
:12:30. > :12:31.tab, and damiani composer and B12 and I would just inject that sort
:12:32. > :12:34.of two or three times Especially when I wanted to lose
:12:35. > :12:38.weight I would inject caritine more I would put the needle in before
:12:39. > :12:42.making sure there is no bubbles in the butterfly clip
:12:43. > :12:46.because if they are there, in there, it can give you a heart attack
:12:47. > :12:49.and people die that way, so it is a very daunting
:12:50. > :12:52.thing to be doing. But Edmondson was then reported
:12:53. > :12:54.to Team Sky when vitamins However Team Sky said Edmondson
:12:55. > :12:59.denied using the needle and bus of concerns over his mental health,
:13:00. > :13:01.their former clinical director told me he'd advised senior
:13:02. > :13:05.management not to report If I'd done, that I suppose I'm
:13:06. > :13:11.looking at safety issues, I did think there was a really big
:13:12. > :13:14.risk this lad would be He told us very clearly at the time
:13:15. > :13:18.he hadn't done the injection because he didn't know how
:13:19. > :13:21.to use the needle. He said "I've never used needles
:13:22. > :13:24.I've never seen the needles before." As I say, you've got to remember,
:13:25. > :13:32.without going into too much detail, I haven't got a person
:13:33. > :13:35.who is in a good place in front Edmondson, however, claims he did
:13:36. > :13:39.confess at the time, but that senior management
:13:40. > :13:41.covered it up. They would have had to say publicly
:13:42. > :13:44.that there was a kid, a young lad on our team injecting,
:13:45. > :13:47.injecting anything bad, it wasn't that they were banned substances,
:13:48. > :13:51.it is against the rules to inject, What are you suggesting,
:13:52. > :13:56.that the team covered up what had happened because they wanted
:13:57. > :13:58.to preserve the reputation I can see the interpretation and I'm
:13:59. > :14:09.sure the public can believe that. We did it in good faith and we did
:14:10. > :14:12.it on two counts, the team discussion was that we didn't think
:14:13. > :14:15.he had actually violated and the second, the most important
:14:16. > :14:18.one, he just wasn't in a good place. These revelations come with British

:15:55. > :16:05.second of every day. From the minute I walked
:16:06. > :16:07.into the classroom, I was beat up quite a few times
:16:08. > :16:14.in the space of a month. I'd come home with black eyes
:16:15. > :16:17.and things like that from what people had done
:16:18. > :16:22.to me at school. This is a story about
:16:23. > :16:24.a girl called Grace. Bullying from an early age has had
:16:25. > :16:29.a devastating impact It started at the age
:16:30. > :16:37.of seven and got worse. At eight I started
:16:38. > :16:39.over-eating through stress. By nine I'd started calorie counting
:16:40. > :16:43.everything that I was eating Quite frankly, the
:16:44. > :16:49.bullying ruled my life. What impact did the bullying have
:16:50. > :16:55.on your mental health? And it was, it got to the point
:16:56. > :17:03.where I was literally I would have nightmare
:17:04. > :17:07.after nightmare after nightmare about what was going on in the day
:17:08. > :17:10.and things like that and I used to scream in my sleep
:17:11. > :17:17.to try to get away from it. At 11 I was about to start high
:17:18. > :17:21.school and I was really excited about it but in the summer before
:17:22. > :17:24.high school I started being cyber bullied by one
:17:25. > :17:27.of my closest friends. At 13, Grace wanted
:17:28. > :17:29.to take her own life. She made a video saying
:17:30. > :17:36.goodbye to her family. Luckily Grace's mum Sarah found it,
:17:37. > :17:40.before it was too late. Only by default the video
:17:41. > :17:50.was found and when I watched And then I felt angry that I didn't
:17:51. > :17:55.know that she'd made it, I didn't But that's got to be one
:17:56. > :18:06.of the lowest, lowest moments because I didn't know
:18:07. > :18:09.what to do. There needs to be far
:18:10. > :18:19.more services out there, working with young people,

:19:02. > :19:09.for tourists on Mount Etna in Sicily, when it unexpectedly
:19:10. > :19:14.erupted - ten people were injured. A BBC news crew was filming
:19:15. > :19:28.there at the time. Molten rock was shot 200 feet
:19:29. > :19:31.into the air and the team was pelted with boiling rocks
:19:32. > :19:33.and engulfed in steam. It's the third time in just under
:19:34. > :19:36.three weeks that Etna has erupted. The BBC's science correspondent,
:19:37. > :19:49.Rebecca Morelle, was there. It was extremely terrifying. Etna is
:19:50. > :19:54.one of the world's active volcanos but we got first-hand experience of
:19:55. > :19:56.it. We were there filming the lava flow slowly snaking down the
:19:57. > :20:00.mountain. It is normally considered very safe. That's why there were
:20:01. > :20:03.tourists there, too, taking a look but all of a sudden there was a
:20:04. > :20:09.first explosion that went up as steam. That didn't seem too bad but
:20:10. > :20:14.the second explosion through up the boiling rocks, you have to remember
:20:15. > :20:17.that magna is more than 1,000 degrees Celsius in temperature.
:20:18. > :20:21.Boulders coming up and steam and everyone started to run but you
:20:22. > :20:25.couldn't see. It was almost a total wipe-out because of the scene in

:20:30. > :20:35.to take us safely back down the mountain. But there were injuries
:20:36. > :20:40.there, luckily not too serious, cuts, burns and some bruises, and a
:20:41. > :20:46.guide dislocated his shoulder. We were told we were extremely lucky.
:20:47. > :20:49.The volcanoologists who was with us, said it was the most dangerous he
:20:50. > :20:54.had seen in a 30-year career. We were lucky to get out, a narrow
:20:55. > :20:55.escape. You certainly were. Apologies for some of the break-up
:20:56. > :20:58.in that report there. Toyota is to invest almost
:20:59. > :21:01.a quarter of a billion pounds The Japanese car maker says it wants
:21:02. > :21:05.to improve its long-term Only last week Toyota said it
:21:06. > :21:11.could delay a decision on building its next generation
:21:12. > :21:13.Auris car here, depending Today the Government
:21:14. > :21:17.announced its providing ?21 million in funding for training,
:21:18. > :21:20.research and development Our Industry Correspondent,
:21:21. > :21:32.John Moylan, has more. This was Toyota's first plant in
:21:33. > :21:36.Europe. It has been making vehicles from here, near Derby for almost 25
:21:37. > :21:40.years. 4 million cars later an the company is investing again, laying
:21:41. > :21:46.the foundations for the future. We are determined to be competitive.
:21:47. > :21:49.That means building cars with quality, high-productivity, low-cost
:21:50. > :21:54.and this investment helps us, hugely, to be competitive for the
:21:55. > :22:00.long term. So, we think this is a huge part of preparing for the
:22:01. > :22:04.long-term future. Toyota will invest ?240 million to upgrade the
:22:05. > :22:10.Burnaston plant. In return, the Government is provided ?21 million
:22:11. > :22:14.for training and research. It's all good news for the 2,500 workers at
:22:15. > :22:18.this site. The truth is, this plant needed to be upgraded simply to be
:22:19. > :22:22.able to compete with Toyota's plants around the world to build new cars.
:22:23. > :22:27.Now they currently make the Auris and Aventis here. A decision on
:22:28. > :22:30.whether to bring a new vehicle to this plant is expected in the next
:22:31. > :22:35.year or two. This investment could make all the difference. But as we
:22:36. > :22:39.leave the EU, all UK car manufacturers face the prospect of
:22:40. > :22:44.higher costs, with tariffs on the components they import and on the
:22:45. > :22:48.cars they export. Despite assurances from the Government, Nissan has
:22:49. > :22:53.warned it'll re-evaluate its UK operations once the final Brexit
:22:54. > :23:01.deal is known. Today in Derbyshire, as the Business Secretary Greg
:23:02. > :23:04.Clarke toured the Toyota plant, the company warned that tariff-free,
:23:05. > :23:09.barrier-free access to Europe would be vital for its success. Some goo
:23:10. > :23:13.further If you look back at history, a naek 1972 and 1999 and big falls
:23:14. > :23:16.in investment. We don't want Brexit to be another one of those turning
:23:17. > :23:20.points and a hard Brexit ited, where we end up with tariff barriers, I
:23:21. > :23:24.think would threaten the viability of some of the plants in the UK and
:23:25. > :23:29.investment here. And investment has been falling. It was down last year
:23:30. > :23:33.amid the uncertainty around the EU referendum. So Toyota's decision
:23:34. > :23:35.today will be seen as a vote of confidence in a sector which is
:23:36. > :23:41.facing challenges ahead. The TV chef, Prue Leith, has been
:23:42. > :23:44.confirmed as the new judge alongside Paul Hollywood on Channel Four's
:23:45. > :23:46.the Great British Bake Off. Presenters Sandi Toksvig
:23:47. > :23:49.and Noel Fielding will host the new-look show, which has moved
:23:50. > :23:52.from the BBC after it was sold Leith replaces the long-standing

:24:04. > :24:10.sailors to socialites, like them or loathe them,
:24:11. > :24:12.tattoos have left an indelible mark Now an exhibition at the National
:24:13. > :24:16.Maritime Museum, Cornwall, seeks to dispel the bad boy image
:24:17. > :24:18.of tattoos and re-position Our Arts Editor, Will Gompertz,
:24:19. > :24:24.went to Falmouth to take a look. Tattoos, as you know,
:24:25. > :24:26.are all the rage nowadays. You have the geometric all-over
:24:27. > :24:33.design, the Star Wars' Stormtropper and, of course,
:24:34. > :24:36.your classic love heart. Do you know what, Lal,
:24:37. > :24:39.I'm as pleased as punch with that. Back in the late '70s,
:24:40. > :24:45.Lal Hardy made his living Today he's taking part
:24:46. > :24:50.in a major museum exhibition, I think the perception of tattoos
:24:51. > :24:58.has changed because there is so much I mean, every genre and subject
:24:59. > :25:03.is covered with tattooing now. There's so much beautiful stuff,
:25:04. > :25:06.you know there isn't a stigma like there used to be attached
:25:07. > :25:15.to it anymore. It's this shift in the perception
:25:16. > :25:17.of tattoos that the exhibition charts, as well as taking
:25:18. > :25:20.on what the curators feel, We start with disspelling the myth
:25:21. > :25:23.that is Captain Cook brought British people had been tattooed
:25:24. > :25:27.for hundreds of years before. We start to see evidence of that
:25:28. > :25:32.in the pilgram tattoos that people were going to have
:25:33. > :25:34.in the Middle East, when they were going out
:25:35. > :25:37.in the pilgramages in the 1600s. This is one of my favourite
:25:38. > :25:39.parts of the exhibition, we are trying to challenge the idea
:25:40. > :25:42.that tattooing is gender It's not just people that
:25:43. > :25:46.are getting tattooed but also Justine Knight, the tattooist,
:25:47. > :25:57.was once the target in a circus Now she's at the business end
:25:58. > :26:01.of the target no more. It must have been really
:26:02. > :26:03.hard for her tattooing in what was predominantly a man's
:26:04. > :26:06.world at the time, in as early as the '20s, '30s, '40s,
:26:07. > :26:09.but her art is so beautiful and it So the exhibition
:26:10. > :26:13.finishes with 100 hands. It's a snapshot of what's happening
:26:14. > :26:17.in Britain and I think it shows not just the diversity of styles,
:26:18. > :26:20.but the true beauty and artistic Not everybody will agree
:26:21. > :26:25.with that appraisal. Some see them as a symbol of moral
:26:26. > :26:29.decline, an image this exhibition seeks to alter by presenting them
:26:30. > :26:37.as an expression of Of course, mine
:26:38. > :26:40.wasn't a real tattoo. Lal Hardy said if I just rub it
:26:41. > :26:42.with this, it'll come... Will Gompertz there getting a little
:26:43. > :26:55.more than he bargained for... Perhaps.
:26:56. > :26:58.Time for a look at the weather with Jay.
:26:59. > :27:02.We saw big contrasts across the UK today. We have lovely sunshine inp
:27:03. > :27:07.Kent looking across the daffodil field. It wasn't like that for all.
:27:08. > :27:10.In north-west Scotland we saw a lot of cloud in the sky at times and
:27:11. > :27:13.showers moving through on a significant breeze. Put them on the
:27:14. > :27:16.map. You can see in between a lot of cloud but either side a big
:27:17. > :27:19.temperature contrast. It is that cooler, fresher air in the
:27:20. > :27:23.north-west that will win out in the next few days. In behind a weak
:27:24. > :27:27.weather front bringing rain southwards and eastwards. The colder
:27:28. > :27:30.weather following in behind as do showers for Northern Ireland and
:27:31. > :27:34.Scotland. Not just rain but wintry weather over higher ground W that a
:27:35. > :27:40.cold night. Much colder than recently. A touch of frost and even
:27:41. > :27:45.icy patches in northern Scotland. In the morning north-east Scotland
:27:46. > :27:48.getting off to a decent start. Elsewhere in Scotland cloud, snow
:27:49. > :27:51.showers over high grounds. Patchy rain over the Pennines but not too
:27:52. > :27:55.much gets across to the eastern side first thing. In Wales, patchy cloud,
:27:56. > :27:57.sunshine as you will find in the south-west but many southern
:27:58. > :28:01.counties getting off to a decent start. Colder than recently but it
:28:02. > :28:05.should be bright and breezy with early sunshine. Make the most of
:28:06. > :28:09.that. It'll cloud over from the north and west as rain continues to
:28:10. > :28:12.fall across much of Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north-west
:28:13. > :28:15.of the UK, generally speaking will be quite wet. Some eastern areas
:28:16. > :28:21.will be drier. Temperatures in the range of 7 or so in Aberdeen to
:28:22. > :28:24.12-13 in London area. Through the evening, on into
:28:25. > :28:28.Saturday morning, it is still pretty cloudy and grey, outbreaks of rain
:28:29. > :28:32.and a fair number of isobars in the chart. It'll be breezy to take us
:28:33. > :28:36.into the weekend. The wind will be a key feature of things through the
:28:37. > :28:41.weekend. A blustery breeze bringing rain. Most of the weekend rain will
:28:42. > :28:45.be out towards the west of the UK. So consequently the east should be a
:28:46. > :28:52.bit drier. A reminder of our main story:
:28:53. > :28:55.Theresa May has rejected the call for a second referendum on Scottish
:28:56. > :28:58.independence. And that's all from the BBC News at
:28:59. > :28:59.Six. Goodbye from me.
