. >> the polling booths have opened and voting in the independence referendum has begun and anna edwardsat is the process, laid out here for us. >> a rather murky thursday morning as the sun just comes up . voting as you say has started and the polls are opening in scotland at 7 a.m. this morning. anyone who is registered to vote over the age of 16 can go to the polls. anyone who is british or from the commonwealth of if they're living in scotland and they are registered are able to vote. embers of the scottish nationalist party will be voting at 7:30 a.m. be voting inwill aberdeen. the better together campaign also voting. we have live pictures for you of the polling stations just opening up. 14,000 people have applied. a number of people perhaps already having applied. a simple majority will win either way. that is how the voting works here. the first place to report should be the western isles and you can imagine the places with smaller populations might report first. anything from 2:00 a.m. friday we will get results from the isles. and will come in gaelic english. the big metropolit

anna edwards. let us talk about constitutional reform. how big a headache is it for labor?an definitely argue that one. we are looking ahead to the election and it is a bit of a headache. institutional form has been put from a on the agenda not only scotland that across the u.k.. put on a david cameron on friday the labours later, party opens up in manchester. it seems that constitutional reform is like the elephant in the room. let us remind ourselves why it is such h rookie situation. it isf people are saying fine. -- let us remind ourselves why it is such a tricky situation. [indiscernible] he even came around to answering the question that he does not think we need an english parliament. favor of a new parliament. i do not think that is the answer. i am in favor of one house of commons. goodness, we fought to end at nell over the last -- we fought tooth and nail over the last year. >> the westminster parliamentary seat and that is why it means so much to labor. thatdepend on those mp's represent scottish constituencies when they vote in westminster. >> there is no getti

. >> we will check in with anna edwards in edinburgh. my question is -- why do the polls get so confusing? it indicated that it would be so tight, when the end result wasn't? >> good to see you. we talked the other day about the silence. they referred to this phenomenon where it came on a little embarrassing to admit that you might have the status quo -- you just do not want to admit to pollsters that you want to go for a. it seems that that is what happened here. the silent no vote was underestimated here. and that is something that will be debated. we have a lot to learn about how the feedback and voting intentions factored into decisions. this victory salvage the cameron prime minister? >> doesn't what? >> does it -- >> yes, sorry, yes. yes if there had been a vote for independence, he was not going to step down. there had been rumblings from the parties that if there had been a yes vote -- if he had been the prime minister who let the union fall he would have been asked to go. there could have been a vote of no-confidence. perhaps th

anna edwards has more. the vote was not as close as some expected. yes, the poles were suggesting we would see something very close just a week or two ago. in the days running up to the vote, things have gotten calmer in the polls and we were seeing some coalescing around the number 52% for now. it turned out to be a stronger no turnout. the later poll suggested the final number was 55% no and 45% yes. it was a strong turnout, a british record-breaking turnout which is why many people are talking about this being a victory for democracy. the u.k. will not be the same place again after this. david cameron had to reaffirm divulgeitment to further powers to scotland but he had to go further and talk to the rest of the united kingdom. he called the english the silent voices in all of this. the english and the rest of the u.k. and wales and northern ireland had no say in what was going on in scotland. that left the feeling of instability. in some parts of the u.k. can we saw expressions of discontent. perhaps we needed to have more de-evolution of power.

anna edwards. -- this smartphone year's loss will be bigger than expected. and what should pro sports leagues do about player misbehavior? we will talk more with bruce ratner. ♪ >> nfl sponsors are speaking out against the league for its handling of the ray rice domestic abuse case. and the adrian peterson child-abuse scandal. mcdonald said in a statement that it had communicated concerns to the league and inspected to take strong and necessary action to address the issues. , a radisson hotel chain sponsor of the minnesota vikings, also distance itself from the league, saying, "we are closely following the situation. radisson is suspending its limited sponsorship of the minnesota vikings while -- of the minnesota vikings while we evaluate the facts and circumstances." bruce ratner is the minority owner of the brooklyn nets backs ball team. we have seen these issues around the nfl and sports teams. owners have spoken out about this. when you see this happening and the league is as powerful as this, what are your thoughts? >> i get angry at the lack of a stron

. >> anna edwards, thank you. ian bremmer, i don't know where to go with this story. start with the basic idea. it seems to have an infection across europe. in thebarcelona northeast area of spain getting a bit of the scottish disease. with what we're seeing september 18, ken has spread to europe? >> sure, it can come if they vote yes. i don't think they will and we can talk about why, but there's no question if you are spain, for example, in the scots vote yes, the impact that is going to have on the ground, catalano will be huge. that means they cannot allow the scots to actually get into the eu. the response against scotland would be sharp. >> why will they take the day? >> cameron is doing every thing possible. they will actually dumped bucket of haggis on his head if they decide to stay the union. i'm lying about that. they've done ever think short of that. they understand -- the brits are taking this seriously. a few weeks ago, they were going to the motions, but they did not believe a yes what was possible. this secession would of been an economic disaster. the

, whaterg's anna edwards is the mood like on the ground?> braving the mist, olivia, it is kind of moody here, isn't it? the is a nice metaphor for entity that has been forged here. both british and scottish, behind me, cd monument to a famous scottish philosopher, a big name and scottish enlightenment, just out of our shop, there is another monument to the naval hero that led britain to victory. both of those identities reflected on this one hill at the heart of edinburgh, the capital scotland. that is essentially what people are voting on today. for 4.3 million people going to the polls today, 97% of the potential electorate voting to have their say as to whether scotland should remain part of that united kingdom or go it alone. --you are living in the u.k. if you are living in scotland, over 16nd you are come if you are from britain or the commonwealth, you are able to vote in this election. people as young as 16 are able to vote. that is unprecedented and british history certainly. we will not get the result of this boat until about 2:00

. >> anna edwards will get those results later tonight. investors anxiously awaiting alibaba's final offer price. for the next 24 hours, can you take it? to bring in my guest host for this half-hour, you already heard from him, sir martin sorrell the founder and ceo of wptur. one of the largest ad firms. martin, you are much more than that. give me your opinion on alibaba. is this going to be the most important ipo? >> on a alibaba we tend to miss it. here in america maybe we don't like the idea of the chinese catching up. alibaba is symbolic of china's -- more than their mergers. it is a technology path. we used to say that the chinese steel many of us, we is to say that about the japanese, hong kong or south koreans. if they do at the beginning, they catch up. what you're seeing it alibaba is that they have effectively cut up to america. it will go through $200 billion in market caps. same size as facebook. this is one of the world's leaders. i got this morning an e-mail about what the distributors of the internet were doing, and samsung
