Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news... | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Six times stronger than normal - a warning that a deadly batch of | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
:00:28. | :00:29. | ||
ecstasy tablets may have killed two men in Ayrshire. Alex Salmond the | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Scottish first Minister in front of John Major... | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Unionism versus nationalism - we hear what the English think about | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
Scottish independence in a new poll. I think we're happy where we are | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
too. It is up to them to decide whether they want to break away or | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
not. Also in the programme... | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Welcome to Scotland - the giant sculpture chosen to be built as a | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
landmark for the border at Gretna. And Whitaker and McGregor pledge | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
their long term future to Rangers as they both sign new contracts. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
The deaths of two young men who died after taking ecstasy tablets | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
at the weekend has prompted police officers to warn recreational drug | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
users to stay away from the drug. It's claimed the tablets Lee | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Dunnachie and Steven Kelly swallowed were six times stronger | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
:01:23. | :01:28. | ||
that normal ecstasy tablets. That Facebook page of one of the | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
men who died after taking super- strong ecstasy at the weekend. His | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
cousin's page carried tributes from friends and family and expressions | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
of disbelief at her cousin's death. It has been reported that will be | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
attended a house party at this building on Friday night. It is not | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
known whether he had the ecstasy tablet with him when he arrived or | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
whether he bought it here. He became unwell in the early hours of | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Saturday morning. Hours earlier, an ambulance was called to a house in | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
the street only 12 miles away. Steven Kelly, the father of a one | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
month-old baby, was found dead. Both had taken ecstasy tab was | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
described by police as six times stronger than normal. If I do not | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
know whether it was a bad batch, but anecdotal information we are | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
receiving is that it appears much stronger than normal ecstasy. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Ecstasy is linked to around 20 deaths every year in Scotland. It | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
is seen as one of the safer illegal drugs by partygoers. An expert in | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
the chemical composition of illegal drugs says Ecstasy has changed. The | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
tablets now contain new ingredients which are more powerful. The drugs | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
have an effect like amphetamines and cocaine would. But they will | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
raise blood pressure and increased heart rate. They might cause heart | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
failure. They raised body temperature. As the temperature | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
raises very high, you start to get the muscles dissolving, the | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
component of the muscles going into the bloodstream and you can get | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
liver and kidney failure. Police are warning drug users to stay away | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
from Ecstasy. Contaminated batches are often on sale around the | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
country. Meanwhile, police in Fife say the | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
death of two men in a house in Dunfermline could be related to | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
drugs or substance misuse. The bodies of the men, who were both in | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
their 30s, were found at a property in the town's Law Road. Detectives | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
say a definitive cause of death won't be clear until they get the | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
results of post mortems. If the Scots vote for independence, | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
would the English say good riddance? Well, a BBC poll suggests | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
that fewer than one in five of English people think England would | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
be better off without Scotland. And just about a third of them want to | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
see an independent England. Our political correspondent is outside | :03:51. | :04:01. | |
:04:01. | :04:04. | ||
the Scottish Parliament now. This was a pall of over 860 English | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
adults. They were asked several key questions, the first of which Das | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
should Scotland be independent? 36% said yes. 48% said no. 15% were not | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
sure. Another key question - whether or not England should be | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
independent regardless of any Scottish side,. There was a more | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
resounding result their. 36% said yes, 57% said no and the rest were | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
not sure. It is a myth that the English simply want rid of us. It | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
was something the First Minister chatted to an Auld enemy about at | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Wimbledon yesterday. At least there was one Scott at the Wimbledon | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
final this weekend, even if he had to sit courtside with a former | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
Prime Minister who fought so hard for the union. Still, firm friends | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
and to equal partners. That is how Alex Salmond would have cross- | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
border relations. We ask the English in Edinburgh if they would | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
accept his brave new world. different people would come up with | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
a different answer for Scottish independence. 50% of them were just | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
shout prefer to! We're happy. It is up to the Scots to decide whether | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
they want to break away, not us. it would be to the benefit of | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
England to have the Scottish. would be to the benefit of the | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
Scottish to have us, as well! union, even on its happiest days, | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
has tips over inequality. But Scotland and England have fought | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
over more than China patterns. There are persistent claims that | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Scots get a better deal from the union than England does. 51% of | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
people thought it would make no difference to England if Scotland | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
became independent. Just under one fifth thought England would be | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
better off. Just over one-fifth thought England would be worse off. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
If the Scots and the Welsh and the Irish knew how to be British... The | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
English will learn that! I hope it will be a Britishness of the 21st | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
century and not of the 18th century. Scottish independence is no longer | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
a talking point in the UK. It is a real possibility. The key for the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
Scottish Government will not just be how they handle the referendum, | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
but how they deal with our neighbours. There are accused -- | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
two key things to come out of this. There needs to be far more | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
education in Scotland and England about what independence would mean | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
for both neighbours. The other one was that, after speaking to people | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
today, they seemed very happy to allow Scottish people to define and | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
decide their own version of independence if and when we get | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
that referendum in the next few years. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland on the BBC. Still to come before | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
7.00pm... No mean city - how the police are | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
working with gang members to bring down violence in Glasgow. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
And 50 racing pigeons are killed in Edinburgh in what appears to be a | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
bitter family feud. In sport, we have some big signing | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
news tonight as champions Rangers hold on to two of their biggest | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
stars. And the new Wimbledon Champion has | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
some words of advice for Anday Murray. Well worth hearing, so stay | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
tuned. A rape victim has told Reporting | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Scotland she hopes recent changes in the law will give women more | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
confidence their attacker will be convicted. In her first broadcast | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
interview since her attacker was jailed last week, Sarah Scott says | :07:34. | :07:44. | |
:07:44. | :07:49. | ||
her life has been ruined and she feels it was she who was on trial. | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
Mentally, physically, everything. It has had such a horrible effect. | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
She is trying to move on, but it is hard. She has waived her right to | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
anonymity to tell her story to encourage other women to come | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
forward. Because I was drinking and wearing a short skirt, I was | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
continuously blaming myself, thinking it was my fault because I | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
was drunk and dressed in a short skirt. Now I have realised it was | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
not my fault. Society tends to blame the woman. You have been | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
drinking, it is your fault. You're inviting this. It is not true. You | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
are allowed to go out and get drunk. You should not expect a man to | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
break you just because you're drunk. At the end of last week, Adrian | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
Ruddock was sentenced to eight Mach years. He had raid Sarah in this | :08:40. | :08:49. | |
flat and Aberdeen street. -- ripped Seraph. -- ripped Seraph. Many | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
women do not come forward to report rate. It is the first you | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
conviction under the new sexual offences Act. I hope the police are | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
changing their attitude towards it and more women will come forward. | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
:09:12. | :09:13. | ||
The woman is on trial. Her past and character is on trial. The whole | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
process is SVRs really long. There is a trial and giving statements on | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
medical samples - I can understand why women do not reported. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Hopefully this new legislation will make women more confident in | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
knowing that their attacker will be convicted. In Scotland, only about | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
one-third of rate charges end in conviction. Sarah's trauma may | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
improve conditions for others, but she now has to rebuild her life as | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
best she can. I still suffer from flashbacks. I cannot quite at night | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
by myself. Every day is based on what he did. One day I hope I can | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
wake up and not even think about it. But that will be a long time away. | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
One day I hope I can move on with my life. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
An investigation has been launched after nine people had to be rescued | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
when they were trapped on a rollercoaster at Strathclyde Park | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
in Lanarkshire. The group, aged between nine and 49, was stranded | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
about 60 feet off the ground when the ride broke down yesterday | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
afternoon. The last person was eventually pulled free by | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
firefighters at 12.45 this morning. First, it cracked gang crime in the | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
American city of Boston, now it is being credited with a big drop in | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
violence in Glasgow. In fact, a community initiative in Scotland's | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
biggest city has seen violent offending fall by almost 50% | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
:10:38. | :10:39. | ||
amongst gang members who are co- operating with the police. | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
There are estimated to be more than 300 gangs in Glasgow for that means | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
thousands of members. Their numbers replenished generation after | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
generation. Here are two of the newer recruits. If I see somebody | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
in another gang that I don't like, it could cause a fight. Your | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
friends did, so you want to do it with them. You do not even think | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
about it at the time. You just think you're being normal. But you | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
end up in all sorts of trouble. These two would once have been | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
enemies. Now, they're being given help to leave their past behind. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Police, teachers and social workers have all come together to try and | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
get them off the streets and into jobs. This course has helped a lot. | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
It has broken down the barricades between people. The idea comes from | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
Massachusetts. In the 1990s, police their offered gang members a choice | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
- spend longer in jail or get help to find work. Into 0.5 years, there | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
were no teenage murders. It was called the Boston miracle. So how | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
does it work in Glasgow? We have shown there is an alternative. If | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
we have provided it. Because that has happened, the trust has been | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
raised and we have engaged a lot of young people. A lot are still on | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
the programme and a lot are now out of violence completely. In Boston, | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
the miracle ended when the money ran out and the crime rate went | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
back up. But the lesson lingers. Here in Glasgow, the authorities | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
are determined to learn it in the long term. Here, 400 gang members | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
have joined the Glasgow scheme. For police say the violent behaviour | :12:23. | :12:32. | |
has fallen 46%. But it costs around �12,000 per gang member. It is 40 | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
grand prix here to put somebody into prison. Whatever course it | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
makes, it is cheaper than the cost of imprisonment and the cost of a | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
community and day in life. So, jobs instead of jail time. But even | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
supporters think it will take a generation before gangs are gone. | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
Some of the other stories across Scotland this Monday evening... | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
The future of threatened airbases at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray and | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Leachars in Fife should soon be clearer. The Defence Secretary, | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
Liam Fox, says a number of decisions have been made over the | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
weekend and he hoped ''to make progress very shortly". | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
The family of missing Turriff teenager Jake Miller have been | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
informed after the body of a man was found on the shoreline near | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
Whitehills. The 18-year-old vanished after the boat he was in | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
capsized off the Banffshire coast two weeks ago. His two companiions | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
managed to swim to safety. Grampian Police say it is too early to | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
confirm the man's identity. A teenager who fatally stabbed a | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
man in Glasgow city centre last October was insane at the time, a | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
murder trial has heard. A psychiatrist told the High Court he | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
believed the attack was "illness driven". 19-year-old Tianhui Zhan | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
admits the incident, but pleads not guilty to murder and has lodged a | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
special defence of insanity. Michael Davies died in the attack | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
on the city's West Campbell Street Dozens of racing pigeons worth | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
�30,000 have been killed in an attack which police are describing | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
as a "sickening act of animal cruelty". Chicks as well as mature | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
birds died in the incident which happened over the weekend. Julie | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
Peacock's been speaking to the pigeon's owner. | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
Pigeons have been a passion of Brian's four years. He has around | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
200. This weekend he made a gruesome discovery. Inside one of | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
the sheds, more than 60 of his racing pigeons were dead. They had | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
been the victims of a violent attack. You can see the damage, | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
they killed all of these pigeons in the loft. Not a pigeon left except | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
two babies. The two babies have been shifted into that box with | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
another mother and father. It was a break-in, like in a house. Police | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
are called it sickening animal cruelty. The dead birds were worth | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
around �30,000 but for Brian the most upsetting part is losing the | :14:58. | :15:07. | |
birds in a mindless attack. They broke the backs of the birds. To | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
see them in front of me and see what they have to say. Give me a | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
reason why they have come here and killed them. It is just spite. | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
of the dead pigeons were racing champions. Brian has spent years | :15:25. | :15:35. | |
:15:35. | :15:35. | ||
breeding and training them. Isles and France last week. 500 | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
miles it flew, for someone to go and kill them like that. Terrible. | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
Police are investigating and asking for anyone who saw anything | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
suspicious nearby to contact them. Well, what do you think? Hope you | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
like it because in a few years' time this giant starburst sculpture | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
will mark the gateway to Scotland from England. It'll be built right | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
on the border at Gretna and it's hoped it'll become a landmark to | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
rival the Angel of the North in Gateshead. Well, Willie Johnston is | :16:07. | :16:15. | |
in Gretna for us now. Willie. Tell us more. | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
Let's start with a geography lesson. Behind me is the bridge over the | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
River Sakka which marks the boundary between Scotland and | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
England. You can see the back of a retail centre which was nominated | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
for one of those carbuncle awards for lack of architectural merit. In | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
a few years' time, no one will be looking at that, they will be | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
looking at this field of boats because in this field will be a | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
gigantic sculpture of international importance. For the past five | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
months it has been subject of a design competition. The winner was | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
announced today. And this is how it might work. 60 metres high, 40 wide. | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
An icon in the making, the designer hope so. For me, the symbolism is | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
about creativity of Scotland and the power of innovation. I was | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
thinking about the symbols of the Thistle and the cross of St | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
Andrew's. That is the Scotland we know but I wanted to project a | :17:18. | :17:27. | |
power and energy and the brains of Scotland. It was immense. The power, | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
inventive power of Scotland. start will dominate, to the right | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
of the and 74. It will sit on a raised land form designed by the | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
award winning international landscape artist he was also the | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
creative director. The one we chose related to the land forms and I | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
related its to the land form. At the end of the day, it was more | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
experimental, it was more open and much more exciting. It had multiple | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
meanings. We wanted something open, we did not want Scotland finished, | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
we wanted the future. This said it with energy and exuberance. | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
project was conceived a decade away -- ago to regenerate an area | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
affected by foot and mouth. The project leader was in The Thick Of | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
It. A farmer who lost his cattle. It was a body-blow to agriculture. | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
To tourism and economic activity in the south Scotland as well. A group | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
of us got together and we were determined to get back up and one | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
of the things we identified that could have a tremendous | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
regenerative effect was an internationally significant iconic | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
piece of artwork on the border. What I have not mentioned his money. | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
It will cost �3 million to bring to fruition. The money is not in place. | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
The public and private sector will be in felt. The Angel of the North | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
has helped to regenerate the economy of Gateshead and Newcastle. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
They say Scotland cannot afford not to back this because they say like | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
this field you only reap what you sow. | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
Thank you. Scotland's respite centre for MS sufferers has secured | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
its future. A high-profile campaign to save it was launched after the | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
MS Society withdrew funding. It relaunched as an independent | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
charity. Those with MS and their carers said there was a sense of | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
relief it was saved. It gets relief for him and me away | :19:44. | :19:54. | |
:19:54. | :19:56. | ||
from him. I think we need to, a lets him play golf or whatever. He | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
knows I am well cared for. Now if this good weather you is | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
putting you in the mood for a move to the seaside, you might be | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
interested to know that Buckhaven in Fife is the most affordable | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
seaside town. On average, house prices there are just over twice | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
that of local earnings. St Andrews, also in Fife, is the least | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
affordable. Average house prices there are almost TEN and a half | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
times local average earnings. Now over to David for the day's sports | :20:21. | :20:31. | |

news and some long-term contracts signed at Rangers David. Rangers | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
could be about to sign a new player. The player has been at the training | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
ground. A busy day with Allan MacGregor signing a new contract | :20:42. | :20:51. | |
and Steven Whittaker signing a five-year contract. And another | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
Ibrox star could also be about to commit his long-term future to | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
Rangers, as Alasdair Lamont reports. Two of the key men behind the | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
league titles have signed new deals. It is an appetite for more of the | :21:02. | :21:10. | |
same, they say. I want to keep winning. I love the feeling of | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
winning for this club. I wanted to continue. It would be naive to | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
ignore the improved financial incentives to both players to sign | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
their deals. But eat could have run down the contracts and one or moves | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
elsewhere. The Turkish club were keen to make Whitaker a rich man so | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
was he tempted? No, I spoke to the manager and he was fully aware of | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
them. I was not the Serb, there was no intention of me going and I was | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
happy and a science the deal. Encouraging news for Rangers fans. | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
They are now keen for new faces. Mid- field up front would be good. | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
The main concern is at the back. What they should go to good | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
replacement. It is good retaining the players we have but get better | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
quality into the squad because it needs more quality and more back-up | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
in this court and a present. Before any new arrivals they could be | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
another Kiwi signing, Stephen Davies has been offered a new five- | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
year deal to stay at Ibrox. Andy Murray says he'll be back | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
stronger than ever after his third semi final defeat in a row at | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Wimbledon. Murray- ranked fourth in the world is still seeking his | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
first grand slam championship having come close on a number of | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
occasions in recent years. Now the British number one is hoping the | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
example of a proven winner can inspire him to make that | :22:38. | :22:48. | |
:22:48. | :23:16. | ||
It is Nadal again! On Friday he was at a loss to explain another semi- | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
final defeat but today it Andy Murray says this man's example can | :23:21. | :23:30. | |
spur him on to make it less likely to happen again. Djokovic bounced | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
back from semi-final defeat in the competition last year to win this | :23:34. | :23:42. | |
year's final. He has gone from being one of the best players in | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
the world to the best player. People are wondering why Andy | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
Murray has not been able to do that. Andy has proven he has the quality | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
to be one of the best in the world. He has been in the finals so he | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
needs to make the final step. For three weeks, the week before you | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
need to prepare, you are mentally going through all this pressure and | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
expectation. You need to overcome that and it is the ultimate | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
challenge in sport. Advice from a champion who has another reason to | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
celebrate today. He has become world No. 1. Another reason perhaps | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
there taking note. Scotland's David Millar is still | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
second overall in the Tour De France cycle race. That's despite | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
finishing well down the field in today's third stage. It was won by | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
Tyler Farrar of The United states. But Millar remains behind Garmin- | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
Cervelo team-mate Thor Hushovd by a mere split second in the battle for | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
the yellow jersey. That is tonight's sport. | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
I hope you have made the best of the weather. It will not last. | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
Sadly not. If we had such a lovely weather over the weekend and what a | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
cracking day it was, fantastic temperatures. Top temperature of 24 | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
Celsius. Lots of places around 23 degrees. A lovely day across all | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
parts and a fine end today with many places seen late sunshine. | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
Time for the barbecue. This evening and many places seeing a fine ends | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
today with a late sunshine and staying dry overnight. Some misty | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
patch is developing on the coast. A mild tonight with lows falling to | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
11 or 12. For most, the odd cooler spots in rural areas. Try morning, | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
a bright and dry start for much of the country but we begin to see a | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
change. Clouds thickening in the West bring a band of rain. That | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
will push eastwards through the day. Rain will be heavier in the West | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
later and patchy. Temperatures, much cooler than a over the last | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
few days. Most places with 17 Celsius. A little bit warmer in the | :26:00. | :26:09. | |
Quite a change today's top temperatures we have been having. | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
Tomorrow evening, the rain will gradually pushed towards the east | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
and the East will be affected by the rain banned overnight on | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
Tuesday into Wednesday where it will linger. A frontal system | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
brought rain into the country. That will linger in the east and north | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
overnight on Tuesday and into Wednesday. Many places see a wet | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
start on Wednesday but gradually brighter. A mixture of sunshine and | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
showers. That is what we will see on Thursday. A mixture of sunshine | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
and showers. Some will be heavy and thundery. The temperatures will be | :26:47. | :26:57. | |
:26:57. | :26:58. | ||
closer to average, around 17 or 18. Now, a summary. | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
