Scotland says 'No' to independence

Scotland votes to stay part of the United Kingdom - we have the business reaction. Plus, Chinese online giant Alibaba makes quite an impact on its Wall Street trading debut.

Scotland votes to stay part of the United Kingdom, but what next for the country's people and businesses? Lucy Burton is live in Glasgow, joined by Scott Reid, deputy business editor of The Scotsman newspaper. Our reporter Marie Keyworth hits the streets of Glasgow to get reaction from residents and companies, and we hear from a relieved Scotch Whisky Association. The referendum has been watched keenly all over the world - we get the international reaction from Canada, Spain and Australia. And Mike McDowall is in London, looking at Alibaba's blockbuster stock market flotation, the campaign to grant Cambodian garment workers a better minimum wage, and the slipperiness of banana skins. He's joined throughout by Alison van Diggelen, host of the Fresh Dialogues series.
