. >> thank you very much indeed, fiona. a great pleasure to be here at brookings and a great pleasure to see so many people here. we're indeed representing a broad program research what is happening in the scotland and the rest of the u.k. called future of the u.k. and scotland. if you type future, u.k., scotland into google you will find us. what we're looking at is the big question. should scotland be an independent country, yes or no? that is what scott voters will have before them next week as they enter the polling booths. that's a momentous decision by any standard. it's a decision which could end what is generally seen as one of the most successful union of nations in world history. if we do end it, there will be immense domestic and international implications. so quite rightly the eyes of the world are on scotland. we will have in scotland by the end of this weekend some 400 camera crews in edinburgh. i think thousands of the print journalists covering events of the next week which is quite extraordinary. what they

[laughter] >> she meets adam. her in the is before and shert in london does a slightly a regular thing. she suspends the court london in a crosses cab and goes and sits at the boy's bedside. rather7 years old, intelligent, determined to die. she sees right through him in many ways. at the same time, he stirs her. this is the child she might have had. then down to the gardens. >> paradoxically, for a boy thinking about death, she is learning to play the violin. she recognizes the irish lament. she tells him that it is by the poet yates. he's one of the elements of the new life that comes flooding in for him, the life of poetry and music. she'

>> thank you, fiona. and thank you to your colleagues here for inviting us and letting us talk about these issues today. i'm going to briefly talk about foreign policy and then i'll conclude by challenging a couple of asuchgsumptions on both side this debate. scotland is the most distinct area of change. it is foreign affair that is would give scotland considerable new powers. the yes side has outlined some directions, although not completely specific that it would take a scottish foreign policy. and i'd like to characterize state's foreign policies in terms of four pillars. profi profits, protections independents and pride. we would see continuity in economic foreign policy, although with a much smaller economy. there could be a big difference if scotland gets in the e.u. and the u.k. votes to leave the e.u. this and a scottish defense force would be the corner stones of scotland's protection. its military would focus on its integrity. its defense budget focuses on maritime forces. rejects the trident su

i'm sure that if douglas and fiona or nick and sarah have things to say they can, too. john, i'm going to start with you in the front row. you're from southwest scotland, correct? >> yes. >> you're an entrepreneur? >> yes. >> i think you're a yes supporter? >> i am indeed, yes. >> we've established that. can we talk about the campaign, maybe not in terms of specific issues but the nature of the campaign and what you've made of it and how it's engaged you. >> actually when the campaign began i was living in london at the time. so when i started looking at the difference between a yes and no i was kind of in the background of a london setting. at the very beginning i was very much a no supporter. but as i read the different arguments, i looked at what other people were saying online and i realized actually that a lot of the arguments of the yes campaign made an awful lot of sense. then towards the end we started seeing more and more messups by the no campaign -- >> what would you call a messup? >> things like earlier in the month, the problem with rbs where they actually
