:00:19. > :00:23.The First Minister has been on the campaign trail in Edinburgh

:00:24. > :00:29.supporting the No campaign in the Scottish referendum.

:00:30. > :00:32.He told Wales Today the current shape of the UK needed to change.

:00:44. > :00:49.Never before in Scotland's history has every vote counted for some

:00:50. > :00:52.much. The race is neck and neck at the momentum is very much with those

:00:53. > :00:59.on the other side of the independence debate. There is no

:01:00. > :01:03.doubt the No campaign is concerned over the developing pattern in

:01:04. > :01:06.opinion polls with support shifting to Yes, especially from Labour

:01:07. > :01:12.voters. So key Labour figures who will be

:01:13. > :01:16.visiting here include the First Minister, Carwyn Jones. He warned to

:01:17. > :01:20.avoid the risks of independence, calling for solidarity among the

:01:21. > :01:25.UK. But not everybody is willing to listen. This is the Welsh Labour

:01:26. > :01:28.leader's second visit to the campaign.

:01:29. > :01:31.Last November, he said he would try to block and dependent Scotland from

:01:32. > :01:36.sharing the pound for fear it would be detrimental to Wales. -- an

:01:37. > :01:41.independent. Scotland punches well above its

:01:42. > :01:46.weight despite its population, we 3.8 million and they are 4.8 million

:01:47. > :01:50.but they seem bigger because of the weight they carry in the UK. With

:01:51. > :01:55.Scotland gone, a lot of work will have to be done to ensure what is

:01:56. > :02:01.left is stable going forward. You talk about fixing the UK as it

:02:13. > :02:16.results, it is a settlement that is about to change.

:02:21. > :02:25.and evolving extra powers to the Scottish Parliament if independence

:02:26. > :02:30.is rejected. What about Wales? My view is that whatever is on offer

:02:31. > :02:34.to Scotland should be on offer to Wales. We have to assess which

:03:00. > :03:05.Minister, Scottish Labour or Better Together want Scotland to take but

:03:06. > :03:06.there are only nine days left as Scotland's future balances on a

:03:07. > :03:12.knife edge. Meanwhile, the Welsh Secretary has
