David cameron made a final plea for no vote. His opposition leader, edward miliband, its set to do the same thing. Alan crawford joins us. You have got to say, it was a lastditch impassioned plea by the Prime Minister. Well, the first indication we had is the herold newspaper has come out for no. In that sense, she has of the result, but yes, and impassioned plea. Anythingd to imagine like this. The Prime Minister pleading with scottish voters to stay with the union. Very much a heartfelt message. At one point said even if you do not like me, i will not be here forever. If you do not like the conservatives, they will not be here forever. If you vote for independence, there is no going back. He said it was no each trial a divorce. What it was impassioned to be followed by the opposition, ed miliband today. What is the latest on the campaign trail . I watched salmond and his counterpart darling and they were talking about is being a very dirty moment. There was a split between the parties. Certainly, there has been rather ugly accusations of internet of bullying and so on. My experience in edinburg a which is [indiscernible] very peaceful demonstration foryes. At the same time, there were groups of people, vigorously debating the issue. Ye re acutely aware they are acutely aware that in the eyes of the world are on a them. We just heard a Government Official in spain. If it was a quiet resolution of building behind, it is hard to predict. Certainly, the yes campaigners are in the worst course today or the vast majority of the population lives in discounting. Allen, thank you very much. Alan crawford in edinburg. Minutes, my conversation with i financial author. He said an independent scholar could become one of the richest nations on earth. Why . Well look at that question.

We have to keep moving forward and do new things at have innovation. And we create something we believe in, so our customers get excited. Is of the pressure to take risks growing on the catwalk . It is always the same. To have basically 12 minutes inspire people. Sometimes that means you may do something unexpected and sometimes the feeling is it you want to do something more familiar. This business is about feeling and emotion and that has to then turn into something very tangible. Which is what . Emotion that turns into something tangible. Bit part ofy is a something we are doing. Instagram, everything. In terms of the story. Is it turning into an arms race . Is burberry known for its technology . It is indistinguishable today. A company cannot just live in a little siloed world. Technology is hugely important for a is as is music and craftsmanship. It is about being curious and making sure you are part of things happening and make sure partnerships and build longlasting ones. It can be with craftspeople or Technology Companies or musicians. If you ever wanted what standing by the ceo like that is getting a nervous. Caroline hyde joins us now. Interesting that the bailey, he personifies molding.

When you talk about buying is the risk. They had a fire warehouse. Whether it is a profit warning. Personifying the volume play online, doesnt it . It shows the amount of money we have to invest. Do not have toou put cash into brick and mortar. When you get as big as asos, you have to invest in a way of getting that clothing out of your Distribution Center. It had a terrible fire june 20th. 20 of the inventory was over went. Clearly, that issue. Wasr 20 of the inventory uin was ruined. They are trying to push into china. You have to be clever trying to push into these markets. [no audio] they have to not just look at when you on the runway do is a u. K. , have to see eight or nine or 10 different ways of viewing the products was that they want to touch it and feel it. They have to be novel and of the ways of that are looking at different markets and penetrating and investing. That is why profit is not going to go up next year. Look at therefore a share price. A 5 drop. Millionis more than 3 3 billion pounds wiped off. It has been a poor red 2014 but a great decade for asos. 2014, but a great decade for asos. Would you buy that new burberry trench coat with the new colors or the traditional . The butterfly colors . I am still going the traditional. Maybe a little bit of gold. And the black nail varnish. It is on facebook. Black nail varnish. Yes campaign. That is the argument. Find out why our next guest think an independent scholar scotland could become one of the richest nations on the earth. Time to our big focus. Less than 40 eight hours a goal, scotland decides. They will decide to become an independent country or stick with the union. Our next guest said it has all of the hallmark, all of the hallmark of the characteristics to be, the richest country in the world. The richest country in the world. Scotland is going to become over this road, all of the ingredients to become the richest country. If you look at the richest countries on per capita, the cia all havend world bike a list each year in at the top the likes of brunei, norway, singapore, luxembourg, switzerland. Some of these countries have gotten their wealth because they of they as some because have turned themselves into Financial Centers. And the regulatory options that were chosen to turned themselves into Financial Centers are available to other countries but the one overriding characteristic of the all of the top 10 has is a theyre all small. Populations of less than a 5 million except with the United States which is ninth. Lookcotland, if you take a of scotland, it is small. Of less than 5 million. Second, it has some oil and third, the opportunity to take on the same regulatory decisions as singapore or luxembourg and one of the other countries. There is no other country in the world that has of that. No other country has the oil and financial. Countries you cited are geographically small and the infrastructure and technology as the cost of setting up his left for scotland to compete on the same leveling phil. You have to devalue the currency and Corporate Tax rate. They would have to learn to live off of their tax. It is a big problem. Probably will not be up to spend as much money. An issue that salmond has avoided. If it were to achieve i am talking in a theoretical i know. W, if it was to achieve this, it would have to make hard decisions. One thing i noticed, i may be wrong about this, i think it is quite left wing dominated. I described is quite a kind of small state right wing kind of model. Finally, it might contradict the politics of salmond. You are saying yes or would it mean spend less . That would mean that alex m a has a misrepresented salmond has a misrepresented the yes campaign. He has not said what his tax structure will be or if he said to me. Is not clear we had a guest from Oxford University and he said going back looking at the numbers, you have independence a you was cease to have a transfer but you would have oil reserves but we do not know the price of oil. Be400 tizen would each citizen would be 400 pounds worse off. You do not have the money for the promises salmond is a making. Of my book isme that Government Spending gets in at the way and i think it is good. It needs a bit of tough love. If we look at the big debate, it is currency. Say the currency issue not that i like to interrupt. I would really dispute that it with you. Nobody is saying they cannot have sterling. What is very, very clear is that alex salmond does not have a plan b. He thinks everyone will roll over on friday get from sterling. Englands governors have made it clear you have to give up some power if you want a currency. You have to give up a bit more. I am of the view theres a great deal of misinformation being put out about of the panel. Nobody can stop scotland from using the pound. There was something going around the scotland could not use the pound and of course, they can. I was kind of ok, ok. What they would not have is if people do not mellow on their positions, they would not have monetary policy. At the door is the fastestgrowing economy in south america and it is using the of the ecuador is fastestgrowing economy in south america and it is using the dollar. May be we will see that dean national is a de nationalization. It is pretty obvious to me that if it makes isy, to you is where the world is going. Crypto currencies is much more efficient. Do we not trust currency anymore . Do i not trust the euro . Toyou have no choice but trust it because it is the law that you use it. If you think about how many times you cross of the border per year, maybe 10 or 20 times a year and few think about how meantime to cross online, it could be hundreds of times. Scotland has an opportunity to be the first to blaze a trail to be the first promising that of the first government currency based on bloc technology. I do not think that salmond is thinking that. He is carefully he probably has ideas in place hope they yes a few more things and ideas. Dominic frisby, life after the state. We are back in 2. Welcome back to the pulse. Thank you.
