Alex Salmond tells David Dimbleby independence is not risk-free.

"Every country has problems, issues. Every country will make mistakes," he said.

"I think the difference with independence is it will give us the ability to overcome problems and to correct mistakes."

Humza Yousaf MSP and Danny Alexander MP have been answering the questions of young voters on a variety of issues including the armed forces and unity post-referendum.

Alex Salmond on the plans for more powers to the Scottish Parliament: "Nothing like home rule, it's nothing like devo-max, it's not even devo-plus.

"It is actually an insult to the intelligence of the people of Scotland.

"To re-hash these proposals last gasp in the campaign and hope beyond hope that people'll think it's anything substantial. It is not."

First Minister Alex Salmond tells David Dimbleby: "It is too early for congratulations of any kind, this campaign has got two days to go.

"We are working flat out, we are still the underdogs in my estimation because Westminster has a huge amount of ability to fling kitchen sinks, half the living room and probably some of the bedroom at us."

Gordon Brown on whether this was a last stand against independence: "I don't think so. I think tides of opinion rise and fall. We have had to modernise the United Kingdom and in particular Scotland's role in it for the 21st century.

"The United Kingdom has an ability to evolve and adapt."

Issues that have been discussed on the Radio 1 debate include tuition fees and the NHS. You can listen now, watch on the BBC News Channel, and take part in the discussion.

Gordon Brown tells David Dimbleby: "If you go independent you throw away something that is irreplaceable."

"It takes time for people to get the message that there is change coming, change is definitely coming," former PM Gordon Brown told David Dimbleby.

"It is a stronger Scottish Parliament that is part of the United Kingdom but we don't lose what we have got."

On the Radio 1 debate, Humza Yousaf from the Yes camp says: "Common sense will dictate."

The SNP MSP adds: "It doesn't matter if we have a currency union, we can create jobs, protect the NHS, increase the minimum wage - that is the power I want for your generation."

But Danny Alexander from Better Together says: "For the rest of the UK, you've got to think a currency union would mean taking a risk on Scotland without having control over policies. The only way to keep the pound is the keep the UK together."

Former PM Gordon Brown on the Scottish people: "They want change but, in the end, I don't think they want to break all the links.

"I am trying to persuade them that these links remain important to them."

On the Radio 1 independence referendum debate, young voters and politicians are discussing the issue of currency. You can watch it now.

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, speaking on The Dimbleby Interviews on BBC1, has outlined why he believes remaining in the union is the best way forward for Scotland.

"In every generation we've got to find a way of combining this strong sense of identity that exists in each nation with the desire, I believe the willingness, to share as part of a United Kingdom," he said.

"No set of countries in the world has managed to do what we have.

"It is the most successful multi-national partnership in history and that's why I want to keep it but I want to keep it because I know also it has got benefits for each of the nations."

Former prime minister Gordon Brown is being interviewed by David Dimbleby on Panorama.

Do you subscribe to the view Scotland can survive and prosper as an independent country?

Labour will address "under-funding" of the Welsh government if it wins next year's general election, First Minister Carwyn Jones has assured AMs.

The three main UK party leaders have pledged to keep the current funding system for the devolved governments.

In a letter in a newspaper they promised to keep the Barnett formula if there is a Scottish no vote this week.

But Mr Jones said Mr Miliband had "made it clear" he would deal with Wales' funding issue if he wins office.
