later, a bbc debate over whether scotland should be independent ahead of the independence referendumon such of her 18th it we spoke earlier with the reporter for a closer look. scottish voters go to the polls soon to decide whether to remain part of the u.k. correspondentand joins us. give us a background on some of the major players and some of the arguments. guest: the major players effectively are two governments and control in scotland, the scottish government which has control over domestic policy in ,cotland through the parliament led by alex hammond, and opposing him and opposing the smp is the u.k. government, a coalition of the conservative party and the liberal democrats that run the u.k. government from london. clustered around both the governments are other parties that have a major or perhaps minor say in the way scotland and the u.k. are run. the u.k. party is based on the number of people that vote, the largest party in scotland, is aligned with the u.k. government and opposing independence. alongside are some smaller center-left, scottish green party, couple of social

bbc news mexico. >>> now, in less than a month, all eyes will be on scotland where the future of the nation is to be. for the past month, it's been in the spotlight for different reasons. the large's arts festival. acts from 50 countries have been performing. dance, cabaret, musicals, stand up comedy. is humor the same around the world? bbc has been finding out. >> i don't speak very well english. my vocabulary is not huge. when i talk, i have to be careful where i go. it's a new challenge, a big challenge. this is in the past, okay? >> my style of comedy in russian is very language based. i have a lot of play of words and such things. unfortunately it was impossible to translate this. i had to write absolutely new material in english for english speaking audience. this means money in this country. in japan it means nothing. this kind of thing we change. >> i tried to make jokes in italy. i don't know why. references are important. maybe sometimes you just change something, and you're good. people aren't laughing. i really admiring the guys for trying to do this in another language. it's hard enough

u.k., scotland also benefits from our shared public institutions, the nhs, the bbc, the armed forces, job center plus. there are over 200 bodies in all. is a profound difference between how we share them now and sharing them within a neighboring but separate nationstate. can be taken for granted and there are no guarantees. the currency union is an example. the liability and exposure of lack of control such a union would levy on the european taxpayer makes it an obvious nonnegotiable position for the u.k. government. all of the major local parties and westminster have made it clear that sharing the pound will not happen. that is why we wanted to see what the scottish government alternative land would be. the absence of certainty for such a fundamental component of a commercial environment makes it extremely difficult for businesses to plan. this leads me onto questions around eu membership. it is already clear that as a new state, scotland would have to leave and then reapply to join the eu. it would have to negotiate terms of membership which would require the agreement from all 28 m

bbc. first question is on the economy from jean smith. jean? >> would we be financially safe in an independent scotland? >> alistair darling. >> a lot of that depends on the currency we use. the bedrock of our economy is the pound sterling. it belongs to the united kingdom as a whole. the bank of england stands behind that. and behind that, the u.k. government. from my experience as chancellor of the exchequer, when i had to deal with the collapse of the bank system in 2008, the security that comes from covering a country that was large enough to deal with a collapsing bank -- it meant i could do something about it. my irish counterpart, my icelandic counterpart, they were not so lucky because they were not big enough. that is one of the reasons why i believe scotland is better and stronger together, is by being part of the united kingdom, we have that greater security. if you look the wider economy, scotland has a lot of going for it. businesses are doing well, but i would argue that is because of the united kingdom, not despite the united kingdom. when i look at jobs for our children and grandchildren
