:05:49. > :05:53.has been thought through th`t well, especially with borders. I think
:05:54. > :05:58.Berwick and the Borders are a bit of an anomaly with travel, with what is

:06:14. > :06:14.the first time 16`year`olds have been able to vote

:06:20. > :06:21.will impact on their lives. They're not short of
:06:22. > :06:29.opinions though. I would vote Now, because I have got
:06:30. > :06:35.a lot of friends over the border. I just think anyway of segreg`ting us
:06:36. > :06:43.from them would be a bad idda, because I can already feel there is
:06:44. > :06:45.a bit of tension may be. I would thought Yes because I feel what is
:06:46. > :06:51.going down in Westminster and London is very different to the situation
:06:52. > :06:55.in Scotland. Us together is better than it being separate. There is
:06:56. > :07:00.more force and numbers, and if we stayed together, we can makd life
:07:01. > :07:03.for the Scottish people better. Everybody feels frustrated `bout it
:07:04. > :07:05.because no one knows what is going to happen. Whatever happens we will
:07:06. > :07:07.be influenced by it. But all students here have had
:07:08. > :07:09.a vote on one issue. To stimulate debate, the school s
:07:10. > :07:12.having its own poll on whether Perhaps anything's
:07:13. > :07:20.possible these days. The vote in the school todax does
:07:21. > :07:24.not have a profound effect on what happens in Berwick. Unlike
:07:25. > :07:28.tomorrow's, which could change lives forever. These young people could be
:07:29. > :07:30.living with the consequences of the vote for many decades to cole.
:07:31. > :07:33.The polls open at 7am and close at 10pm.
:07:34. > :07:43.That is a good question! Thdre are 32 councils which will count
:07:44. > :07:48.individually. The first votds should be declared around 2am, the last
:07:49. > :07:52.until about 6am. If it is vdry close, we might not get a rdsult
:07:53. > :07:58.until that last vote, 6am, could be Aberdeen. I can bring you one
:07:59. > :08:02.result, in that Berwick opinion poll, 72% voted to stay in the
:08:03. > :08:07.union. At that is no indication of what will happen tomorrow. Heaven
:08:08. > :08:15.forbid! It is not the end of this, is it, the result? That is when the
:08:16. > :08:19.fun starts. The Yes side expect negotiations to begin this weekend
:08:20. > :08:25.if they win the independencd vote. If there is a No vote, therd is a

:09:15. > :09:18.at work, failing to protect the safety of one of its employdes. The
:09:19. > :09:22.prosecution outlined why thd charge was being brought, and it s`id there
:09:23. > :09:27.was, for example, insufficidnt risk assessment of the oven wherd the man
:09:28. > :09:31.died. There were no instructions not to enter that machine, no mdasures
:09:32. > :09:35.to prevent unauthorised accdss and no means of stopping working cycle
:09:36. > :09:39.from inside once it has started That is what the prosecution said.
:09:40. > :09:45.An opening was entered todax and the case will move to the Crown Court.
:09:46. > :09:51.Remind us what happened to the man? His death is something of a mystery.
:09:52. > :09:55.An inquest did real that it was accidental, but he died inshde what
:09:56. > :09:59.is basically a large pressure, steam pressure of used in the production
:10:00. > :10:03.of tyres. He may have been retrieving something when the door
:10:04. > :10:07.was accidentally closed. Th`t may not will be known. Once inshde, he
:10:08. > :10:10.would have very quickly been overcome by the heat. His body was

:10:18. > :10:22.say? Only a very short statdment saying it's not and condolences

:11:37. > :11:41.big opportunities. They said there are 300 jobs available for ` project
:11:42. > :11:44.on the harbour. I am hoping the company itself will be using local

:11:52. > :11:56.promising 1000 jobs. We'll local people like Kevin have the chance to
