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. | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
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 | :09:49. | :09:53. | |

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 | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
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 | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
Scotland's website. -- from your area. | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
An investigation has been launched after a laptop containing details | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
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 | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Adlington has been announced as unofficial ambassador for the | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. She joins Britain's no successful | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
Olympian, Sir Chris Hoy, who has also been given ambassador role. | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
She will appear in high profile campaigns. | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
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 | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
renowned for its weather, and the journey to the most mottled -- | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
north-westerly. On the British mainland is not for the faint- | :12:26. | :12:36. | |

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. | ||
