UK's Cameron "nervous" ahead of Scotland referendum

ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION
British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Wednesday (September 17) that he was "nervous" about Thursday's Scottish referendum on independence, but that he was confident that 'No' campaigners had done enough to persuade Scottish voters of the benefits of staying in the union.
Voters will be asked to answer "Yes" or "No" to the question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
A "Yes" vote would spell the end of the 307-year-old union with England and the break-up of the United Kingdom.
British political leaders have promised greater autonomy for Scotland if people decide to stay in the union. But independence supporters say it is time for Scotland to choose its own leaders and make its own decisions free of rule from London.
