in the scottish question as you mentioned earlier when it comes to independence it is quite neck and neck still opinions. of the scots do you expect tensions within that to escalate as we move forward. i mean i tend not to think that i mean i think that twenty fourteen leave effort in them was hailed it represented probably one of the most successful referendum experiences that that's been hailed certainly far better than the brakes at referendum and there was a huge influx of young people into politics a huge enthusiasm regardless of what state you get on to debate and discuss the issues and i think that no matter what stage it on when it comes to the referendum debate the everyone will have it within their own interest to ensure that this debate and discussion is hailed as held in a as mannerly a way as possible jonathan shafi chairman of the radical independence campaign thank you so much for joining us on the program this sunday. that's our global news update for now for further details on those stories and many more head to our website r.t. dot com thanks for joining it. unfortu

in the who exactly the who case for a scottish independence if you have breaks it you do it how flood of semen catalonia as well just put the real attitude is of the e.u. leadership towards any country with a steet wanting independence i mean the we in which they backed up the spanish government for its illegally devotee i think is not a good omen for the e.u. being put to only prue independence or even staying neutral so your policy would be pro after the european three trade association will go to see the final deal to see what the options are but certainly i think the illogical position as things stand at the moment for scotland for an independent scotland would be to be a member of efta and the european economic area so that gives you the benefit of being in the european market with the don't side of being in the customs union a or an agricultural policy or the fishing policy no with a nice easy solution to this is still all one we all good and all bad but i think on balance that's a good way forward they wouldn't as the unionist parties would say would not cause problems on the s

in addition, chequers would be deeply damaging to the uk and the scottish economy.xports going to the eu. the uk has a trade deficit with the eu includes but it has a trade surplus in services. all of that leans it makes absolutely no sense at all for us to leave the single market in services, it's a market that brings huge benefits and also has enormous potential for growth in the future. chequers is unworkable because even if it was acceptable to the eu that appears to be no political majority for it at home. and yet the prime minister maintains that chequers is the only serious and credible option on the table. it is not a serious and credible option and the reason it's the only option is because the uk government has refused to come up with any others. let's be clear about this. a head in the sand approach will not make the chequers ostrich fly. so when it comes to a vote in the commons later this year it will not be chequers that mps are voting on. as of today it remains to be seen if a withdrawal agreement can be reached. alarmingly it seems doubtful that any
