Radio Scotland for the U.K. Has voted to leave the European Union search will to get out at 11 pm on Friday the 29th of March. 2019 as Britain code stone to breaks it to been embarking on a whistle stop tour across the country began by visiting textile fights in Isha was she rejected claims that breaks that will result in a Westminster power grab a Westminster correspondent Nic joins us now neck what stories are maybe in seeing them today about the future of the you keep your spokes well in a nutshell Bill she's optimistic the push bricks at world can be a break place for the U.K. She's returning to a theme we ferreted revisit a number of times as prime minister defense of the Union between the nations of the U.K. She thinks it was the most successful in the world and a Plage to work for all parts of the U.K. In the final breaks it deal but as we know as we've discussed at great length the governments of the U.K. Haven't always seen eye to eye on the details are for us not least their continuing row where those powers coming back from Brussels Gaul now Mrs May set out Harvey rarely are denying claims she's mounting a power grab we are not taking back any of the powers that are currently devolved to the Scottish Government indeed the Scottish Government will be receiving more powers as a result of us leaving the European Union what we're discussing with the Scottish Government is how we can do that and ensure that we still maintain the ability for Scottish farmers for Scottish businesses to trade freely across the whole of the United Kingdom just as with the agreement to ensure they can continue to trade freely with the rest of the European Union So what reaction as they're being you will be surprised to hear that there's significant divisions that we've seen over the past year are still on Shorty from passionate break City years optimistic about the future to those who think this will be a colossal mistake Edinburgh fast this. Scottish government continue to have concerns far slee are not idea of a power grab we were just discussing more broadly ministers in Edinburgh want to stay in the single market and the Customs Union and we heard from 1st Minister Nicola Sturgeon earlier this she still has concerns about uncertainty of what the U.K. Government wants we have nor more clarity to be than we did on referendum day or than we did on the day Article 50 was triggered and that is disgraceful and it matters to people the length and breadth of this country it matters to people in a rural economy matters to people in a financial services sector that matters to people in our national health services labor aren't impressed with teaser means approach either this morning their shadow chancellor John McDonald said his party's view of the year to go so we're saying to them get serious now get down the data we're halfway through but actually we're more than halfway through because and do you have to be negotiator effectively by the autumn so it's almost September October we've literally only a few months to go now they're nowhere near in a deal that protects our jobs in our economy others Bill are considerably more hopeful than John McDonnell and Nicholas stuck in there some are far more despairing this issue just continues to divide political parties it continues to divide parts of the cut parts of the country as well and still plenty of debate to come in the year before we officially leave Yes absolutely I mean this to be at times has been quite relentless over the past year has in it and deed back to the referendum campaign itself that isn't going to stop why because there are still huge divisions as we were just discussing there are still different aspirations for what the world will look like in a year's time and most importantly there are still massive questions that need to be answered things like What will our immigration system look like how will the question of the Irish border be solved what will the future trading arranged. It's worth the E.U. Look like so firstly there will be significant battles here in Westminster in parliament many of them leading up to a vote on any final deal negotiated with Europe which the government wants to have done by the autumn so that parliament can fully discuss it before that there will be significant battles in Brussels where the utopian Union about what that trade arrangement looks like the prime minister said the B.B.C. Interview this afternoon with my colleague Laura Coombs bug the U.K. Would be a different place after breakfast but we're still working out exactly how different and what exactly that pushed Britain will look like it was most of thank you. Well she was an ear the prime minister knows the U.K. Government will begin talks for your soul growth deal a threesome A says will significantly boost the local economy and create jobs council team behind the multi-million pound plans for regeneration see it's a major step forward in their proposals I spoke to the leader of North earshot Council Joel Kalani Cullinan Cullinane. They pay ministers been in your city and U.K. Government will know what quest The Scottish Government and if the local authorities to discuss taken for what the initial growth you know that we've been working on for a number of years less is this a divorce another radius of the country that clearly doesn't have are involved in this so it's been called the the actual cost you know what can very hard to try and get support what sort of difference will it make a huge staff instead the idea. Before you should be induction to clain over a number of decades we've seen a number of really bank employees leave in a lot of about P.T. The never really haven't been replaced so we absolutely see the ocean growth the was our opportunity for some transformational change in the ocean economy this cross part what can is where we have definitely a part is in charge of this the. Core forty's and we're hoping what can together over and on but a year stand to get to that stage but as a brain in course of growth to your show separately in a high quality job sent in the ocean economy back on the market does about so is a question of whether the should be separate authorities in different parts of years or whether indeed that would be better with a unitary authority for the whole of the current or former county. But I think that is to take a discussion it really that we haven't at this moment in time what we're talking about the economy and we are. In. Pathfinder pilot scores government Israel so we are what can across the field shows to try and make sure that the economy as a whole starts the season Real change over the next few years so we have what can across if the US is why I don't think it's a discussion of. A unitary instead of 40 as far as this money is concerned clearly it will be a boost to be able to use some of that for and just real growth and expansion but actually it's going to be a sort of leveling of the playing field isn't it because more and more years are going to get these city deals or see that other areas that are on the cards are stolen quite Monisha the T. Cities as well as board Alliance doesn't actually feel as if everybody's going to be brought to the same same level playing field so it's just a case of starting again in competition with them where will I think our concern over the last few years or is that we've been working really hard to get to that stage to the. Other areas. The announcement that we had to the earlier on so. We can show the as part of us who will say to you go off the 0 Taipei again that was really important for us what I would caution is that we are no get to the stage where we discuss the funding that I snore funding. To me from the prime minister through the or indeed from the support that we've gotten from the Scottish Government to date but what we can only do is start that discussion about what projects and what can one can go forward in how that is going to be funded but as. An economy back on the mop recognising that your show has the potential to help provide economic off across scrolling down the U.K. And we've certainly been what can to make sure that you know Sugarloaf the well aims where the economic priority is and a Scottish government and the U.K. Government and nice while we're looking it over the next few years as Joe Cullen in the leader of North assure Council. The hospital treating the daughter of former Russian spy a surrogate sickly Paul says the tar condition is no longer critical and she's improving rapidly Yulia Schiphol was attacked and Soulsby along with her father with what's been identified as a nerve agent Well reporter Christopher Mace is outside the script home we can speak to him No Christopher just set the scene for us tell us what you can see. Hi Bill I'm on India Avenue which is just really at the top of the road where this cripples live us Kristie Miller Road there's a police cordon in place at the top lots of media attention 2 policemen standing guard neither of whom are from our own native Wilcher force they've both been brought in it which is that you're really good indication of the actual support that police have had here in Wiltshire ever since attack took place on on the 4th of March and now you're point out rightly that you are scruples condition is improving and they say it's improving rapidly she's no longer critical she's stable but we've not heard any news about any improvement for her father Sergey at this stage bill and what a boat the actual site of the poisoning do we know no clear where that now of agent was well we already know that it's widely believed the Scriptures 1st came into contact with a nerve agent Novacek here their home that was that was found out fairly recently but last night the Metropolitan Police said they found the highest concentration of nerve agent so far on the script house door around 250 counterterrorism officers working on the case at the moment examining thousands and thousands of hours of C.C.T.V. Footage and offices are going to continue working here over the next few weeks and according to the deputy assistant commissioner Dean Hayden that could potentially tens of months and the Russian foreign minister had been holding a news conference I gather what were they saying. Really they stuck to their guns as you might expect them to bill they would they were saying that they resolutely deny any involvement or real knowledge of how the poisoning happened on the 4th of March just as Britain is saying without definitive proof that Russia was behind the attack Russia is saying that Britain must also prove that it did not poison the script files in the same way they also say the U.K. Is breaking international law by not sharing information about the script howls particularly about Yulia.
