Rivals Clash in Scottish Independence Debate

Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond and Better Together leader Alistair Darling took part in the second live televised debate on Scottish Independence. They clashed over currency, the NHS and defence issues such as Trident.

During the debate Salmond said Trident should be scrapped with Faslane becoming the HQ of Scottish Defence Forces. Darling warned that doing so could lead to job losses and damage to the Scottish economy.
