He says it's the proper response to more devolution to Scotland in the aftermath of the independence referendum. His predecessor Gordon Brown, however, is accusing him of mimicking the SNP by 'driving a wedge between Scotland and England.' We're joined from Westminster by the Environment Secretary Liz Truss.

Events take place today in Turkey to mark 100 years since the Gallipoli Campaign, when Allied troops landed on the beaches of the Gallipoli Peninsula, hoping to invade what was then Constantinople and force the Ottoman Empire out of the First World War. It failed and tens of thousands died before the Allies withdrew nine months later. But it led to a new national spirit among the Australian and New Zealand troops who fought with the Allies, and inspired Turks to fight for their independence a few years later. Our Turkey correspondent Mark Lowen is in Gallipoli.

It's the fourth day of the trial of 93 year old former Nazi SS guard Oskar Groening for being an accessory to the murder of at least 300,000 Jews at Auschwitz. He has said he is "morally" guilty but had no direct role in the genocide. He is being tried in the German town of Lueneburg. 81 year old Eva Kor gave evidence at his trial earlier this week. She was subjected to live medical experiments along with her twin sister whilst they were held at Auschwitz. During her time on the witness stand she questioned Oskar Groening, asking him whether he knew what Josef Mengele had been doing to twins like her. Eva Kor is a survivor of Auschwitz who was experimented on by Josef Mengele along with her twin Miriam.

The series finale of Poldark airs this weekend. The period drama remake was an instant hit for ´óÏó´«Ã½1, pulling in some of the channel’s highest ratings in over a decade. A second series of the drama has been commissioned. So what is it about the series that’s attracted so many viewers? If the paper reviews are anything to go by, it's got very little to do with the history of the Cornish mining industry and everything to do with Aidan Turner, who has won over legions of fans as the brooding, scythe-wielding Cornish hero, Ross Poldark. Debbie Horsfield is a writer and executive producer of the series. Heida Reed plays Elizabeth, Poldark's first love.
