Tonight on your national news: Pressure grows on Alex Salmond over

:00:15.:00:20.

what his independence plans mean for European Union membership. Next

:00:20.:00:26.

stop, the courts. Building on success: Andy Murray calls for a

:00:26.:00:29.

national tennis centre amid claims that the stars of the future have

:00:29.:00:34.

to go elsewhere. Also tonight: Hands off our land as

:00:34.:00:37.

one of our remotest communities stands up to the Ministry of

:00:37.:00:40.

Defence. And he can't stop scoring but it

:00:40.:00:44.

won't be in the blue of Scotland - no way back for Steven Fletcher

:00:44.:00:49.

despite the player's change of heart.

:00:49.:00:51.

The row over whether an independent Scotland would automatically be

:00:51.:00:56.

granted membership of the EU intensified today. It's been

:00:56.:00:59.

revealed there will be an urgent hearing at the court of session

:00:59.:01:03.

later this week over Alex Salmond's refusal to say whether he has had

:01:03.:01:09.

any legal advice over the matter. Labour say that's because there is

:01:09.:01:12.

something that the First Minister doesn't want people to know. The

:01:12.:01:14.

First Minister says he's only abiding by the rules of the

:01:14.:01:24.

ministerial code. 4th or relationship with Europe has become

:01:24.:01:29.

one of the most controversial car issues in the debate. The Scottish

:01:29.:01:33.

government argues that ex-cop and became independent, it would

:01:33.:01:43.
:01:43.:01:43.

automatically remain part of the year. The SNP's political opponents

:01:43.:01:47.

have called on the Scottish government to provide legal advice.

:01:47.:01:52.

In July, or Scotland's information commissioner upheld a request from

:01:52.:01:54.

at a Labour MEP and ordered that the Scottish government confirm

:01:54.:01:59.

whether or not ministers had confirmed -- received advice on

:01:59.:02:04.

this issue. The government went to the courts to argue that any such

:02:04.:02:12.

advice should remain undisclosed. If they tell me I cannot reveal

:02:12.:02:18.

legal advice, that is the ministerial court. If I would break

:02:18.:02:21.

that, I would be in breach of the Ministry of code. That has been the

:02:21.:02:27.

case they every UK government from time immemorial. Scotland's

:02:27.:02:29.

information commissioner believes is in us in the public interest to

:02:29.:02:34.

reveal whether or not the government has run race -- received

:02:35.:02:39.

advice on their membership of the European Union. She will get to

:02:39.:02:43.

make her case at a preliminary hearing here on Thursday.

:02:43.:02:47.

Opposition parties want to go further, saying the Government

:02:47.:02:51.

should publish the content of any advice as soon as possible. I would

:02:51.:02:54.

suggest that it means there is something there that he doesn't

:02:54.:02:59.

want us to know. If Scotland was an independent country, separate from

:02:59.:03:07.

the UK, we would have to apply for membership. The Scottish government

:03:07.:03:11.

says the position of Europe consistent with legal advice will

:03:11.:03:14.

be published in a white paper towards the end of next year.

:03:14.:03:22.

Political pressure to publish the advice in full will grow.

:03:22.:03:25.

Andy Murray is calling for a new national tennis academy in Scotland

:03:25.:03:27.

to encourage the country's promising young players. Thousands

:03:27.:03:30.

of people lined the streets of his home town of Dunblane yesterday to

:03:30.:03:39.

see him after his triumphs in the US open and the Olympics. Andy

:03:39.:03:44.

Murray first played on these courts 15 years ago, coached by his mum.

:03:44.:03:51.

The rivalry between the two it is still as fierce as ever. The Andy

:03:51.:03:55.

Murray effect has encouraged over 100 juniors to play in Dunblane.

:03:55.:03:59.

The club has several coaches to have put in hours of the time, but

:03:59.:04:02.

it is not the same all over Scotland. Andy Murray believes that

:04:03.:04:07.

is now time for a national academy. It would be nice if we could have

:04:08.:04:13.

the quality. A National Tennis Centre does not need to cost a

:04:13.:04:18.

fortune, it would cost much less than the Royal Hunt and one. If we

:04:18.:04:23.

could have something like that it would make it big difference --

:04:23.:04:28.

Walhampton. Tennis Scotland run this National Centre in Stirling,

:04:28.:04:32.

but once the players reached a certain age, they need more

:04:32.:04:36.

facilities. When the players get to a Capel-le-Ferne roundabout 15 or

:04:36.:04:41.

16, if they are really pushing on, they have to move. And he went to

:04:41.:04:45.

Barcelona. This is one of the challenges facing 16-year-old

:04:45.:04:49.

Isabel Wallers. She is living and playing in Australia, where her

:04:49.:04:53.

parents feel to is getting the coaching she needs. But she wants

:04:53.:04:58.

to come home. Thousands of miles away in Inverness, her parents run

:04:58.:05:02.

a bakery. They have remortgaged their home, worked seven days a

:05:02.:05:08.

week and spent over �30,000 a year on their daughter's dream. We feel

:05:08.:05:11.

we are scratching the surface at the moment. For the next two years,

:05:11.:05:19.

a lot of money will be spent even more. Physios, coaches on the road

:05:19.:05:25.

with her all the time, we need put her forward now. It is a lot of

:05:25.:05:33.

pressure and stress on family. It is not glamourous, it is tough.

:05:33.:05:37.

Isabella's committed to playing tennis for Australia instead of

:05:37.:05:42.

Scotland for the next to my ideas in return for her coaching. -- for

:05:42.:05:49.

the next two years. The size of the crowd is indication of just how

:05:49.:05:52.

long we have waited for a tennis champion. The Scottish government

:05:52.:05:56.

says it will look at the idea of the Scotch Academy in the next few

:05:56.:06:00.

months. Andy Murray says there is more talent out there. Not only do

:06:00.:06:08.

we have to find it, but we have to keep it.

:06:08.:06:11.

Still to come on the programme: Swept overboard but lived to tell

:06:11.:06:13.

the tale. A lucky escape for one hardy sailor.

:06:13.:06:15.

And the Paisley-born man many regard as the father of

:06:15.:06:18.

photojournalism and some of the remarkable images he produced.

:06:18.:06:21.

Sport, who to play up front for Scotland? A question made a little

:06:21.:06:24.

more complicated for Craig Levein after one says he wants back and

:06:24.:06:29.

another's manager says he's ready. Plus, Rangers rocked by an injury

:06:29.:06:37.

to one of their key players. Templeton out but for how long?

:06:37.:06:39.

Scotland's leading the world in developing computer science to

:06:39.:06:42.

improve medical care. Health experts from around the world are

:06:42.:06:45.

this week meeting in Forres to discuss how advances in digital

:06:45.:06:48.

technology can enhance patient care while keeping people out of

:06:48.:06:58.
:06:58.:07:02.

hospital. Ian Cameron has it severe respiratory problems. Fortunately

:07:02.:07:07.

for him, a simple wireless pad attached to his body is relaying

:07:07.:07:11.

details of his condition needed -- minute by minute his doctor's

:07:11.:07:19.

surgery. When we see a patient, we see a snapshot of a patient. The

:07:19.:07:23.

Technology, we can see what has happened hours beforehand and the

:07:23.:07:27.

hours after treatment. We can see and anticipate something going

:07:27.:07:30.

wrong and hopefully see an improvement on the treatments we

:07:30.:07:35.

have given him. This technology is being developed by commute --

:07:35.:07:39.

computer scientists at Edinburgh University. It means Ian is being

:07:39.:07:43.

monitored just as if he was in hospital. Last time I was in

:07:43.:07:47.

hospital, I was in for about a week and there was nothing done in the

:07:47.:07:56.

hospital that couldn't have been done at home. If we can keep

:07:56.:07:59.

patients out of hospital, their health benefits for the patient

:07:59.:08:04.

themselves but also, economic benefits for the NHS. It helps us

:08:04.:08:11.

to deliver services to patients close to the point of care in the

:08:11.:08:14.

patient's home itself. challenge for health authorities

:08:14.:08:18.

around the globe is to find smarter ways of caring for an ageing

:08:18.:08:22.

population. The kind of technology being developed here is pointing

:08:22.:08:27.

the way. Soldiers from The Royal Scots Borderers 1 Scots are leaving

:08:27.:08:30.

their base at Dreghorn Barracks in Edinburgh for a six month

:08:30.:08:33.

deployment to Afghanistan. They will perform a variety of

:08:33.:08:35.

roles including advising on operational issues throughout

:08:35.:08:39.

Helmand Province and training the Afghan National Army. The

:08:39.:08:44.

battalion's last tour of Afghanistan was in 2010.

:08:44.:08:47.

The Crown Office has refused to comment on press reports in Malta

:08:47.:08:50.

that a secret court hearing was held there to gather new evidence

:08:50.:08:53.

about the Lockerbie bombing. The Times of Malta newspaper says

:08:53.:08:57.

several witnesses gave evidence at the hearing. Malta was key to the

:08:57.:08:59.

Lockerbie trial, because it was there prosecutors said the bomb

:08:59.:09:07.

which exploded over the town was put into a suitcase. A look now at

:09:07.:09:16.

what else has been happening across the country this Monday.

Every Doris it is anything to -- benefiting from half-a-million

:09:20.:09:24.

pounds in Scottish funding. It is one of 32 companies sharing �9

:09:24.:09:29.

million under the latest round of food and drink funding. It will

:09:29.:09:33.

increase our production 10 times. It will probably take us about

:09:33.:09:40.

three years to get to that stage. Proposals for Dundee's Museum go

:09:40.:09:44.

before city councillors tonight for formal approval. The landmark

:09:44.:09:49.

building is due to open in 2015 as a centre for contemporary Scottish

Sunshine and Sweetie, a at the centre of campaign to preserve the

:10:01.:10:08.

species in the world. They will travel the world to highlight the

:10:08.:10:13.

plight of the species. It is really exciting. You only need a tiny

:10:13.:10:17.

proportion of people to come away from seeing them thinking, yeah, I

:10:17.:10:23.

want to do something about pandas. But as a lot of people whose minds

:10:23.:10:30.

and -- have been changed. A new work by Alasdair Gray has

:10:30.:10:38.

been unveiled in Glasgow. The mural was at the specially created for

Hillhead station. It the first at Bond girl has

:10:46.:10:52.

travelled to this castle, one of the a number of iconic locations

:10:52.:10:57.

used in the Bond movies. We had no idea this was going to go on. It is

:10:57.:11:07.

half-a-century. Originally, we didn't know what we had. Even Sean

:11:07.:11:13.

Connery didn't know. And there are more stories from malaria on BBC

Scotland's website. -- from your area.

An investigation has been launched after a laptop containing details

of vulnerable children was stolen from a fostering and adoption panel

:11:24.:11:27.

member in Edinburgh. It was taken from the home of the independent

:11:27.:11:30.

consultant last month. The computer contained a number of minutes from

:11:30.:11:33.

meetings of fostering and adoption panels. Edinburgh City Council said

:11:33.:11:41.

it had contacted almost all of the families involved. Rebecca

A Sutherland community is threatening to take on the might of

:12:02.:12:05.

the military to prevent it taking over land in one of Scotland's last

:12:05.:12:08.

great wildernesses. It's feared that the MOD intends buying the

:12:08.:12:11.

last remaining ground available for sale at Cape Wrath to expand its

:12:11.:12:20.

bombing range there. As listeners to the shipping forecast no, it is

hearted. Occasionally, Gail eight at Cape Wrath. Rain at times. You

:12:37.:12:40.

would be forgiven for thinking you were entering a battleground at

:12:40.:12:45.

first, as the striking wilderness is also home to end MoD bombing

:12:45.:12:54.

range. It is about 3.5 acres in size. There is very its machinery

:12:54.:12:58.

which are used for targets. But a real-life battle for land is

:12:59.:13:01.

getting under way here following the news that the military plans to

:13:01.:13:06.

buy the last remaining piece of ground around the prominent Cape

:13:06.:13:11.

Wrath lighthouse. If successful, the only to residents on the

:13:11.:13:20.

peninsula believe public access would be restricted to -- only two.

:13:20.:13:26.

The land seems to have been sufficient for the mark to today.

:13:26.:13:36.

It is 75 square miles, and it is just this one last mile. With the

:13:36.:13:39.

North Pole the next stop that way it and Canada 3,000 miles over

:13:39.:13:46.

there, many may ask, why fight over this post? But locals say they are

:13:46.:13:51.

sure Cape Wrath was more than just a name on the shipping forecast. It

:13:51.:13:55.

has been argued that Cape Wrath also helps attract thousands of

:13:55.:14:00.

people -- to the near by a village of Dennis each year, where most

:14:00.:14:06.

businesses are dependent on the tourist trade. They employ local

:14:06.:14:15.

people. A local development group is spearheading a campaign to buy

:14:15.:14:20.

the land from the Northern Lighthouse Board for the community,

:14:20.:14:29.

and they're urging the Ministry of A pensioner who was swept overboard

:14:29.:14:32.

off his yacht but lived to tell the tale has been recovering at the

:14:32.:14:35.

Fishermens' Mission in Stornoway. 72-year-old Gerry Beard's boat was

:14:35.:14:45.
:14:45.:14:48.

battered by a force eight gale off the Butt of Lewis. These pictures,

:14:48.:14:57.

a film by East, waylay Bourke wrote, shot a very lucky Rescue. They are

:14:57.:15:03.

toying report of Gerry Beard back to port. He was swept off the boat

:15:03.:15:13.
:15:13.:15:19.

in a Force 8 gale into the Atlantic Ocean. The boat was swinging

:15:19.:15:26.

underneath any and I'd shot into the little space between their

:15:26.:15:34.

guard wire. He was close to completing an a living day trip

:15:34.:15:41.

from Iceland back to his home at Meir Lewis. He was swept abort on

:15:41.:15:49.

Saturday afternoon. I can remember a lot. I was injured from been

:15:49.:15:59.

knocked down and I was able to signal and have then or later, the

:15:59.:16:07.

cavalry arrived. He is still in Stornoway and plans to go home as

:16:07.:16:11.

soon as possible, but says he plans are more adventures. There is

:16:11.:16:16.

always something that you can learn at any age and I have just done

:16:16.:16:20.

that! Now what has been happening in the

:16:20.:16:28.

world of sport? Dougie can tell us. The Scotland strikers debate

:16:28.:16:31.

rumbles on a week after the World Cup qualifying campaign began with

:16:31.:16:35.

two home draws. But anyone hoping for imminent change by the manager

:16:35.:16:38.

Craig Levein looks like being disappointed. That is despite one

:16:38.:16:42.

player opening the door for a call- up and the club manager of another

:16:42.:16:52.
:16:52.:16:54.

making a case for his inclusion. He is a chance, Steven Fletcher has

:16:54.:17:01.

made the run and there it is. Three goals in two games for name at six,

:17:01.:17:07.

but there will be no immediate return to Scotland for the player.

:17:07.:17:13.

But that is despite in posting on his Twitter account yesterday, when

:17:13.:17:23.
:17:23.:17:25.

he said that if main fivemack asked him back, he would do so. -- Craig

:17:25.:17:35.
:17:35.:17:36.

Levein. First and foremost, he asked to speak to the manager first.

:17:36.:17:44.

Another prolific striker is on good terms with the Scotland manager.

:17:44.:17:50.

But the Scotland manager has been not wanting to start the Blackburn

:17:50.:17:57.

striker. What are his thoughts? am just going to carry on doing my

:17:57.:18:01.

best. It has been made a bonus for me to go up each time and do the

:18:01.:18:09.

best that I can. He his club manager is a bit more forthcoming.

:18:09.:18:18.

It is not my decision. I can only advise this column can if they get

:18:18.:18:24.

in touch and ask me how he has done. It is the decision of Craig Levein.

:18:24.:18:31.

But you get an intelligence and a play that you do not get much of in

:18:31.:18:37.

the game. Particularly if you are the Scotland manager.

:18:37.:18:40.

Rangers will be without David Templeton for up to five weeks

:18:40.:18:42.

after the winger damaged ankle ligaments at the weekend. Ally

:18:42.:18:46.

McCoist says it is a bitter blow as the team try to turn around a run

:18:46.:18:56.
:18:56.:19:02.

of poor away form. 10 Bolton. What started as a poor day began with an

:19:02.:19:09.

injury to David Templeton. A it is a bitter blow for us, but it is

:19:09.:19:16.

something we will have to handle and get on with. Range as did great

:19:16.:19:25.

chances, but were thwarted again and again by a resilient defence.

:19:25.:19:29.

More a matter what Leek or what competition we are in, we are

:19:29.:19:38.

expected to win games. It is that simple. It it is not a disaster,

:19:38.:19:43.

but I do accept that we should be doing more with the ball at the

:19:43.:19:49.

moment. We should be turning these jaws into victories. Rangers now

:19:49.:19:53.

face Queen Of The South in the quarter-final of the Ramsden's

:19:53.:19:57.

Challenge Cup. Aberdeen manager Craig Brown has

:19:57.:20:00.

confirmed that the club will appeal against Russell Anderson's red card

:20:00.:20:02.

against Inverness Caledonian Thistle. The Dons captain was given

:20:02.:20:05.

his marching orders for bringing down Shane Sutherland inside the

:20:05.:20:07.

box during the 1-1 draw at Caledonian Stadium. The club will

:20:08.:20:11.

now ask the SFA to review the incident.

:20:11.:20:14.

If you fancied a party at the weekend, Tighnabruich was the place

:20:14.:20:17.

to be on Saturday night, as Kyles Athletic took the Camanach Cup back

:20:17.:20:24.

there for the first time in 18 helped to overcome Inveraray in the

:20:24.:20:27.

first all-Argyll final of Shinty's biggest prize. Kyles trailed 4-2 at

:20:27.:20:30.

half time, but managed a tenacious second half display to finally win

:20:30.:20:40.
:20:40.:20:42.

second half display to finally win the match 6-5.

:20:42.:20:45.

After the most successful year ever for British cycling, the Tour of

:20:45.:20:48.

Britain was won by a cyclist riding for a Scottish team. Jonathon

:20:48.:20:50.

Tiernan-Locke, from Livingston based Team Endura took the gold

:20:50.:20:53.

jersey at the end of the eight- stage race. World champion Mark

:20:54.:20:56.

Cavandish won the final stage between Reigate and Gilford, but it

:20:56.:20:58.

was Tiernan-Locke who prevailed overall, becoming the first British

:20:58.:21:07.

winner of the race in the modern era. That is all the sport.

:21:07.:21:09.

He has been called the father of photo-journalism. Paisley-born

:21:09.:21:12.

Alexander Gardner was the first photographer to capture images of

:21:12.:21:16.

fallen soldiers in the American Civil War. 150 years later, a

:21:16.:21:26.
:21:26.:21:26.

special BBC Scotland documentary looks back on his work. 150 years

:21:26.:21:35.

ago, photographs taken by Alexander Gardner changed the understanding

:21:35.:21:40.

of water and modern America. It was as if the world had turned upside

:21:40.:21:45.

down. No one had ever seen at battlefield before and they had

:21:45.:21:49.

certainly never seen the way at battlefield looked after the battle

:21:49.:21:58.

was over. Alexander Gardner also captured the final four years of

Scotland, he had edited the Glasgow's Sentinel newspaper and

:22:19.:22:26.

moved to America in 1850. His photographs of the famous American

:22:27.:22:33.

President are now regarded as masterpieces. This photograph is

:22:33.:22:40.

regarded as the more nellies that of a or collection. It was taking
