Tonight on your national news programme: Under fire. Alex Salmond | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
accused of deceiving the Scottish people over European membership. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
We are live in George Square as Glasgow prepares to celebrate the | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
success of Scotland's Olympians and Paralympians. | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
And how this baby was welcomed to the world in a roadside lay-by. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
And and plans to get more of us to take up residence on Scott and's | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
canals. The First Minister has insisted | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
that an independent Scotland would remain part of the EU. But his | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
opponents have accused him of hiding crucial details from the | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
public. It is reported that substantial progress was made in | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
talks this afternoon between the Scottish and UK governments | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
regarding the independence referendum. | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
Face to face and down to me it -- down to business. No deal yet on | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
what will be on the ballot paper. One question or two? Still, | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
optimism all round. None of us should be operating here on what | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
might or might not be in our narrow and partisan interests. We should | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
be allowing the people stop and to get started in this debate. We are | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
honouring the mandate of key SNP. We don't think it can work in any | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
other basis, so we're working to get a referendum which will be | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
decisive. The Scottish Parliament was founded by a Westminster block. | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
The Scotland Act of 1998. That made clear which Paras were reserved to | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
Westminster in schedule five. Top of that list is the constitution. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
That means Holyrood could face a legal challenge if it tries to hold | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
an independent -- a referendum on independence. But section 30 allows | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Westminster to transfer extra powers to Holyrood. Michael Moore | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
is offering to transfer the legal power to hold a referendum, | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
provided it is as a straight yes or No to independence. If there is a | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
deal on Europe, for example. Unionists say it Scotland would | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
have to apply for European membership, meaning a possible | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
foetal. Scotland would have to reapply to the EU and join the euro | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
with all the disastrous economic consequences that would have. | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
problem, says the First Minister. Scots are already inside as EU | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
citizens, not new applicants. Scotland is not an accession state. | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
We have been members of the European Union for 40 years. For 40 | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
years, Scotland is part and will remain part of the European Union. | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
We will remain so as an independent country. Just one of the many | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
issues which will be discussed in the referendum if, make that when, | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
the roles are settled. Where does this go from here? | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
A further meeting next week between the two participants. I expect the | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
outcomes of the talks to be that de Scottish Government will withdraw | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
their possible proposal for a second question on enhanced powers | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
for devolution and it will be a straight yes or No to independence, | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
but the details of that will be worked out here at Holyrood where | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
the Bill will go through. Then it is on to the debate itself about | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
the concept of independence. Alex Salmond promised again today there | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
will be a full white paper, a full prospectus, published by the | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
Scottish Government next October. That will include the answers to | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
all those issues, including the European issue that has been | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
debated today. That sprang from different interpretations of | :04:39. | :04:49. | |

remarks by Jose Melk -- Jose Manuel Barroso. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Sir Chris Hoy has been unveiled as the first official ambassador of | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Sir Chris, who is | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Britain's most successful Olympian, will appear in promotional | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
campaigns and support the organising committee. He said after | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
the Olympics that he was proud to lend his support to the next great | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
sporting event on home soil. Sir Chris will be taking part in | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
tomorrow's homecoming parade of Scottish Olympians and Paralympians | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
through Glasgow city centre. It starts at 4pm at Kelvingrove Museum | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
and heads east along Sauchiehall Street, which is one of the best | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
Street, which is one of the best vantage points for spectators. It | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
then heads towards the city centre before winding its way through the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
main shopping area and finishing at George Square at about 6pm tomorrow | :05:32. | :05:41. | |
George Square at about 6pm tomorrow evening. It gives the athletes the | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
chance to say thank you to everyone in Scotland. They could not do it | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
without ever won backing them. It will be great. | :05:49. | :05:58. | |
Our reporter is in George Square tonight. Let's get the bad news | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
over with first. Andy Murray? We have heard that Andy Murray will | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
not be taking part in the parade tomorrow. In a statement, he says | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
he is very sorry but he cannot make it. He has also said that he hopes | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
to make it back to Scotland within the next week. However, he does | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
thank all his fans across Scotland for their support. That is the bad | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
news. However, let's keep some of the excitement because we do have | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
Sir Chris Hoy. We also have Katherine Grainger. We have | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
Glasgow's very own Michael Jamieson, our silver medallist swimmer. And | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
we have Neil Fachie from the Paralympics. Organisers are hoping | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
there will be a big party. How are preparations going? | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
The stage is pretty much underway. It is kicking off tomorrow at | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
5:30pm when the athletes arrive. They will show off their medals on | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
the stage. As you heard, one of the reasons they are doing this is to | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
give athletes the chance to thank their supporters. It is hoped there | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
will be a real party atmosphere. As for the crowds, they are not sure | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
how many people will -- how many will turn out. But many people | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
turned up for the torch relay. And we will be live in George | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Square from 6:30pm tomorrow night as our Olympians and Paralympians | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
come home. Then, from 7pm on BBC Two, join us for a Reporting | :07:36. | :07:39. | |

programme: Breathing new life into a classic Scottish novel. | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
In sport, Scott Brown tells us when he expects to be back in action. We | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
will hear from the Scott and rugby coach, Andy Robinson, and we look | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
ahead to the short event in the calendar of our other national | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
event. An Aberdeenshire couple have been | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
describing the heart-stopping moment when their baby son was | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
delivered in a lay-by. Denise Middler and Darren Farquharson were | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
just a few miles from Aberdeen Maternity Hospital when tiny Owen | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
was born in the backseat of their car. The couple flagged down a | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
passing police patrol to help them. Our reporter has been to meet the | :08:33. | :08:43. | |
:08:43. | :08:44. | ||
family. All-in was blissfully unaware of | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
the drama which surrounded his entry into the world. After four | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
gruelling years of fertility treatment, Denise and Darren were | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
delighted to finally make the journey to hospital for the birth. | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
We got as far as the town centre at and he started to make his | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
appearance. He was breached, feet first. That was a slight | :09:11. | :09:20. | |
complication and a bit of a worry. It was very surreal. I got out and | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
was fawning for the ambulance. It felt like forever. My father-in-law | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
had flagged down a police car. One came with me and one went with | :09:36. | :09:45. | |
Denise. And this was the cavalry. Come to visit their numerical. | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
asked our control to contact an ambulance. Then we put a rubber | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
gloves on and got stuck in her! him now compared to the last time | :09:57. | :10:06. | |
we saw him, it is unbelievable that it really happened. It is amazing. | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
Back home, he is thriving. His parents cannot stop smiling. It was | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
:10:24. | :10:25. | ||
our third try with IVF. Our final chance. He was our little miracle. | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
A multi-million pound system to manage NHS appointments in Scotland | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
is in meltdown, according to the Scottish Conservative leader. Ruth | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
Davidson told the Scottish Parliament that more than 100,000 | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
patients in Ayrshire and Arran have had appointments cancelled since | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
the system was introduced 15 months ago. Ayrshire and Arran Health | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
Board admitted that their 12% cancellation rate is unacceptable | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
but insisted it had nothing to do with the new appointment system. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
A look now at what else has been happening across the country this | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
Thursday. Edinburgh City Council say they | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
have taken steps to address concerns from residents in the west | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
end, concerning the adverse environmental impact of diverting | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
traffic during tramworks. The move comes after UN lawyers in Geneva | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
upheld the complaints of householders. | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
Scottish wildcats could be extinct within months, according to the | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
Scottish Wildcat Association. Some research has revealed as few as 35 | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
pure bred felines in the wild. Other estimates suggest there are | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
fewer than 400. Bogus callers who target the | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
elderly are in turn being targeted by Strathclyde Police. Posters are | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
being distributed and stickers are being given to vulnerable people in | :11:31. | :11:41. | |
:11:41. | :11:43. | ||
case they become victims. Not everyone is who they appear to | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
be. If you are not happy with someone at your door and they have | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
not made an appointment to come, if they should not be there as far as | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
you are or where, don't let them inside. Ask for identification. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
Up to eight libraries could close in Aberdeen to cut costs. Some | :11:58. | :12:07. | |
could be merged. The council say no decision has been made and are | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
promising public consultation. There are so many benefits to | :12:10. | :12:19. | |
libraries. I came to use the internet. It would be a very bad | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
decision if libraries were close. - closed. | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
The impact of the recession is being felt in Sutherland with | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
concerns raised about the number of shops closing in the village of | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
Brora. Locals want development trusts formed to boost the economy. | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
Rural villages in the Highlands have unique challenges. In common | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
with other villages, we're having to look at ways to adapt to these | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
challenges. And there are more stories from | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
your area and all the latest news, 24 hours a day on BBC Scotland's | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
House boats may be trendy in London and Amsterdam, but not many people | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
here have been attracted. Now, Scottish Canals is running a trial | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
to see if more of us can be encouraged to live on the water. | :13:07. | :13:16. | |
Laura Maxwell is on the Union Canal in Edinburgh. | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
If you often somewhere different to live, how about a place like this? | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
In the centre of the capital, sitting on a commuter link to | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
Glasgow? I am told can now living is more relaxed, greener and | :13:30. | :13:40. | |
:13:40. | :13:41. | ||
cheaper way of living. Is it all plain sailing? | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
Hello, we are on this narrowboat I had been living and working on for | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
the past nine months. We have an open fire to keep us warm in winter. | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
A kitchen. All mod cons, even a washing machine. My office. Through | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
the tight squeeze, you have to walk sideways, is the bathroom. And the | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
bedroom. I am lucky that my business is a mobile business. I | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
use my phone for internet, all my calls come in through that. I don't | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
need to be tied to one place. We got the vote nine months ago. We | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
paid for it through a personal loan, we didn't need a mortgage. It was | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
probably a third the price of a flat this size. It was affordable. | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
It is not all plain sailing. The toilet needs emptying. You can | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
break down. You don't usually have to put your hand down into the | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
canal. I absolutely love living on the water. It is such a nice | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
environment, except for getting way you have left the boat when you | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
wake up, looking out the window and wondering where you have stayed | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
overnight. A very traditional narrowboat. This | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
one has been newly refurbished. Once you are inside, you see how | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
close you are to the water where you are living. | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
The Katie, everyone will want to know how much a boat like this will | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
cost? A newly refurbished boat will cost about �60,000. If you wanted | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
it bigger, it will be more. A second-hand boat would be about | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
�25,000. In terms of moorings, as a guide, you can look at England, the | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
:15:56. | :15:57. | ||
average price is �2,000 a year. services included? That is included. | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
What sort of people are you aiming this scheme at? Living on the water | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
it is an alternative lifestyle, it could appeal to pretty much anybody. | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
In terms of affordability, it will appeal to young people. | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
Alternatively, people working in the City, a holiday home, and also | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
it will appeal to retired people. There are places available on the | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
Caledonian Canal, and later this year, up on the 4th canal in | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:46. | ||
Glasgow. Let's take a look at the sport now, | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
with David. The Celtic captain Scott Brown says the couple of | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
weeks' enforced rest he's just had could allow him to return to action | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
this weekend. He's been struggling with a hip injury, but could be | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
available for the game against St Johnstone. He's also hoping to make | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
it for Scotland's next World Cup qualifying double header. Here's | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
our senior football reporter, Chris McLaughlin. | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
He led his side to the title last season, but for the Celtic captain | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
this campaign has been frustrating. A hip injury meant he has played no | :17:11. | :17:21. | |
:17:21. | :17:21. | ||
part in domestic matches. It is wear and tear and information. | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
There was a suggestion the manager might keep you for European games | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
only? That is up to the manager what he does. Whenever I can play | :17:32. | :17:42. | |
in a game, I feel I could start and get back into training. He has also | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
been one of the key players missing from Scotland's disappointing start | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
to the World Cup qualifying campaign. Two points from a | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
possible six has kept pressure on the squad and manager. There is | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
always pressure on Scotland, everyone expects us to win every | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
game, and we know that is not going to be the case. There are a lot of | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
hard teams in the group. But I have a lot of faith in the manager and | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
myself. The Celtic captain is aiming to be back, to make sure the | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
Brazilian -- the dream lives on. Andy Robinson says Scotland must | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
get used to beating the best, if they're to win next year's World | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
Cup. That's the target being set by the international coach, following | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
a successful summer tour. The first match of the autumn Tests sees | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
Scotland host current world champions New Zealand, followed by | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
games against South Africa and Tonga. | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
You want to go against the very best, to challenge yourself against | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
the very best, and come through with a victory. If you look at the | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
last four games we have had, Against the top three sides, we | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
have won three of those sides. We all going with confidence and | :18:58. | :19:07. | |
belief. -- will go in. It's our other national game, and its big | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
showpiece event takes place this weekend. | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
I'm talking about shinty, and the Camanachd Cup final. It's in Oban, | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
and it's between Inverary and Kyles Athletic.. Now, if you don't know | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
much about the sport, this brief introduction might just do the | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
trick. You want to know all about the | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
magic of shinty? Why did you pick a card? All right, I'll do it. First | :19:28. | :19:38. | |
:19:38. | :19:42. | ||
one. In shinty, this stands for stake. -- stick. The Camanachd Cup | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
is the most prestigious in the sport. Moving on to the next letter. | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
This stands for history. There's a strong relationship between shinty | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
and football, particularly in England. Stamford Bridge, Old | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
Trafford, were used as a shinty pictures. In the 19th century. | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
this letter, it is for Inverary which will contest this year's | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
Camanachd Cup against Kyles. Ever since I have picked up a shinty | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
stick I have wanted to win the Camanachd Cup. This letter is for | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
national sport. Billy Connolly suggested a few years ago we make | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
the shinty our national game, because we are not very good at | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
football! What does this better stand for? Team? It is all about | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
teamwork, it is not about individuals. The strongest team at | :20:47. | :20:52. | |

Scottish literature. But, while The Cone Gatherers is still taught in | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
schools, it's rarely seen on stage and screen. However, this week | :21:32. | :21:35. | |

Everyone I meet, taxi drivers, they say it is their favourite book. I | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
