the Open begins, the debate over whether women should be allowed to | :00:23. | :00:32. | |
be members of Muirfield intensified. You cannot be locked in the 1950s | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
forever. We are also live with the latest on the golf. | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
And the heat is on on day one of the Open Championship here in Muirfield. | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
Who has been burning up the course and who has crashed and burned? | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
And unions stage protests against plans to re-privatise the East Coast | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
Main Line. And much of Scotland basks in | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
another hot summer's day. Join me to find out why Scotland is | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
at the very centre of the warm weather for once. A full forecast | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
later in the programme. The row over sexism in Gulf | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
threatened to overshadow player as the Open got under way at Muirfield | :01:20. | :01:29. | |
this morning. The Scottish Government has urged the golf | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
authorities to stop posting championships at clubs which prevent | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
women from being members. A perfect day for the start of the | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
tournament but as the golfers and spectators tried to focus on | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
today's play at Muirfield, the row over the D choice of host is heating | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
# The row over choice. It was raised in the House of | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Commons today and later the Conservative sports minister called | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
on golf's governing body to rethink its position. When a privately club | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
fulfils a public function it will be open to this type of criticism. I | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
would like the authorities to allocate the Championships to equal | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
opportunities golf clubs. Earlier the culture secretary announced she | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
:02:32. | :02:34. | ||
would boycott the event. Her Labour counterpart waded in. She could do | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
more, take action. I am challenging Maria Miller to end the exemption in | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
the equality act which allows men only clubs. Many who travelled far | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
to soak up the atmosphere had their own thoughts. I think things will | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
:03:00. | :03:01. | ||
change. They can take a leak out of Augusta National assessment book. | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
is archaic. Golf's governing body said it will not be making any | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
further comment at the Scottish Women's Golf, union did not appear | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
too concerned. It really has to come from within the game and that is the | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
best way to get change. The rough may have been giving some of the | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
golfers a headache on the first day of the open here at Muirfield but | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
for the sport iss governing body, the long grass is exactly where they | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
would like to see the debate stay. A rail union is protesting against | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
plans to re-privatise the East Coast Main Line, which runs from Edinburgh | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
to London. The RMT union says the service is well run and profitable | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
since been put into public ownership. | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
The views of the rail workers union work laid out in black and white for | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
commuters this morning. The East Coast Main Line has been in public | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
ownership for four years and the RMT union says it has been a success, | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
providing a better service and generating millions of pounds of | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
profit for the taxpayer. Something they say private ownership has | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
failed to do. They are apps in the robbing the public blind, the | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
private companies. We believe the way forward is to keep the railways | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
in the public domain. -- they are absolutely robbing the public mind. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
That is something that is unlikely to happen. The UK Government says it | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
is committed to getting the service back into private hands, even though | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
the last two franchises ended badly. GME are collapsed and National | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
Express handed back. For passengers though, the main concern is seeing | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
the trains run on time. I travel a lot on the east coast. In terms of | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
the future, it is a good service. is a step backwards. People should | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
not be privatising things more and more. We should beginning more and | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
more to the public instead. I just want a good service. I do not care | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
who it is owned by. The Government has its own ideas for improving the | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
East Coast Main Line. It has just ordered these new high-speed trains | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
in a �1.2 billion deal. They promised to bring more capacity and | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
shaved 18 minutes of the travel time from London to Edinburgh by 2019. At | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
every turn to the days of nationalisation is not a journey the | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
Government is prepared to make. We can cross now to Westminster | :05:52. | :06:01. | |
correspondent for more. What is the UK Government saying about this? | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Ministers will not deny there have been some catastrophes in terms of | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
franchises both on the East coast mainline and the West Coast Main | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
line in recent years but they also say the best deal for passengers, | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
the best way to get better investment and point to an | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
independent review which say so is for private operators to continue to | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
run the railways. That means the UK Government will continue to run the | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
East Coast Main Line until debris 2015. The Scottish Government would | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
like to have all Scottish railways under its control. That may depend | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
on the outcome of the 2014 referendum. While Westminster still | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
has control, the UK Transport Secretary says those who want state | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
ownership are simply wrong. BBC Scotland can reveal that | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
investigators are now including a fourth victim in the ad break of | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
Legionnaires' disease in Edinburgh last summer. Until now only three | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
deaths have been linked to the outbreak but the Crown Office has | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
confirmed a 64-year-old woman also died. Our correspondent joins me. To | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
be clear, we are talking about an outbreak a year ago. That is right. | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
This was the outbreak thought to have been spread from paper released | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
from cooling towers in Edinburgh. -- vapour. We are still waiting to see | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
whether there will be prosecutions. The Crown Office have told us today | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
they are now treating the death of a fourth person as part of this | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
enquiry. That fourth big team was a woman who was aged 64. She died six | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
weeks after the first death. The other three deaths which are | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
included were all men, aged 56, 47 and 65. Also today, NHS Lothian gave | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
me a new total of the number of people infected in the outbreak as a | :07:52. | :08:02. | |
whole. That is 92. That is made up of 60 feet -- 65 confirmed cases and | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
some suspected cases. The solicitors for many of the victims and their | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
families say they are frustrated that we still do not know who is to | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
blame. Initially, our clients were simply concerned about what had | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
happened to them. A little bit bewildered. Then they became | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
concerned about the amount of time given to -- taken to give them | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
answers. Now some of them are very annoyed. We, as solicitors, shared | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
that concern and frustration that it has taken so long and despite our | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
various attempts to get further information we are still largely in | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
the dark. So why have the investigations taken so long? | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
not know. The Crown Office said it would be inappropriate to comment. | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
NHS Lothian is due to release a report next week. That is purely | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
into how this outbreak was handled why health officials. Also, the | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
Edinburgh outbreak seems slightly less serious than an outbreak that | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
happened in Quebec, the game from paper released from cooling towers. | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
In that outbreak there were more deaths and more infected. That | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
occurred a month after Edinburgh's outbreak, yet in Quebec they already | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
know who was to blame. A 14-year-old has been killed after | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
he was not of his bike by a car in Aberdeenshire. -- knocked off. It | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
happened on the Newburgh to Cruden Bay road at 6pm yesterday. Connor | :09:36. | :09:41. | |

injuries. It is the third fatal road accident in the North East in as | :09:45. | :09:51. | |

where things are heating up on and off the course. We will have the | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
story of the day so far and I will be speaking to a golfing great of | :10:11. | :10:20. | |
yesteryear. Join me later. A dog is being used to rehabilitate | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
prisoners in Scotland's largest jail. But the boxer visits Bellini | :10:24. | :10:31. | |

behaviour since. Visiting time. Pepper and her owners | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
have been volunteering at Barlinnie for the last five years. Once a | :10:41. | :10:49. | |

Barlinnie several times for minor offences, Peter is due for release | :10:52. | :11:02. | |

and you concede and talk to her and give her wee treats and that. It | :11:08. | :11:16. | |
relieves you a bit. Instead of being stressed out, you just sit with the | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
dog and forget about things. Is her visits began, episodes of self harm | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
have reduced, suicide are Darren and there has been less abusive | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
behaviour. -- suicide attempts are down. Written is a hard environment, | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
one where any sign of full ability could be open to abuse. Pepper is a | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
welcome distraction to that. She allows the inmates are here to show | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
care and affection without any form of ridicule or judgement. One guy | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
came and spoke to me and told me he had confided in the dog, told the | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
dog he had been set to be abused in the past. I asked him why he told | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
the dog. He said because the dog could not tell anyone. That then | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
gave him the courage to come and talk to me. That is valuable. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
the years, Pepper has had such an impact on some of the inmates that | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
they have even stayed in touch with her owners. For some of them it is | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
the only club they have in their life. It is very sad. It is very | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
moving. They obviously think a lot of her and when she is not there | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
they think of her, because they are doing things for her. Pepper is | :12:38. | :12:42. | |

He was one of the generation known as the New Glasgow Boys. But artist | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
Ken Currie has always shied away from the limelight, despite | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
creating some of the country's best known images. Now he's unveiling | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
his first solo exhibition in Scotland for more than ten years. | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
Our arts correspondent, Pauline McLean, has been to meet him. | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
When you strip it all back, we are all the same... Life and death have | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
always been central to his work and this latest for the Scottish | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
National Portrait Gallery is no exception. Like his eikon EST -- | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
iconic image of three oncologists, they were too busy to sit for him | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
so he made these masks. People who have done things and achieved | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
things in society and so they get their portrait painted. But when I | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
look back at all of my work, there has always been a human presence | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
and that has been a central preoccupation of mind. Ken Curry | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
was one of a string of artists to emerge from Glasgow School of Arts | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
in the late 80s. Dubbed the New Glasgow Boys, they were hugely | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
successful and very different but it had its downside. The artists I | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
admired in the past haven't had shows until they are 40 years old | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
and things like that. They do stated and developed their work. So | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
we had to develop in the full public glare which was an added | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
pressure. That is why I decided to keep away from the media spotlight | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
as much as I possibly can. For many, it is a rare glimpse of an artist | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
who let -- prefers to let his work do the talking. | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
Sport now and straight to David at Muirfield. | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
Yes, it is hot, hot, hot here. I have been topping up a holiday tan | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
and some of the best golfers have been crashing and burning. Rory | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
McIlroy, a double Major winner, finished 8-over par. A winner of | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
the Open in 1999 finished on 10- over par with a round of 81. 15 | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
shots behind it earlier leader, Zach Johnson of the United States. | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
Here is a take on the story so far. With weather like this you have a | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
choice, go to the beach or the golf. At Muirfield there is really only | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
one winner. For some, but they did not know where they were meant to | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
:19:33. | :19:46. | ||
Rory McIlroy was also moving, but Literally in some cases. Not that | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
Johnson cared. A 5-under Power rout -- 5-under par round saw him top of | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
the leaderboard. There was time in the afternoon to be shown what | :20:00. | :20:07. | |
others could do. Especially this man. Not a lot early on. Tiger | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
started with a whimper at the first. Martin Laird gave the home gallery | :20:13. | :20:22. | |
something to shout about briefly. By then, the attention was on Shiv | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
Kapur. On a day when you had to be cool at your work, many of the | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
world's top golfers failed to do so. You know what, some have been | :20:34. | :20:41. | |
having a right old whinge. The golfers are complaining about some | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
of the pin places on the course and also the surfaces on the greens and | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
fairways, saying they are too hard fairways, saying they are too hard | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
and fast. Earlier, I spoke to a golfing great about the state of | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
the course and a few other things. You can't attack the course the way | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
it is playing today. You have to treat it respectfully and get the | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
ball on the beat -- green. The greens are getting away from these | :21:11. | :21:19. | |
guys. We are seeing three putts from 10 feet if you get the wrong | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
side of the hole and bear patches and if you pitch on menu bounce on | :21:24. | :21:32. | |
hard. It is a real juggling act. anyone you would -- is there anyone | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
you would tip? Mickelson is in good form. Somebody with his pedigree | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
who can deal with these conditions and he understands that everyone | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
will get punished for bad shots sometimes. It is tough to put | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
behind you and it is the guy who can do that this week who will come | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
out the victor. There has not been a Scottish winner in 99. Ken you | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
see us sneaking it? It is the word Open. It is more relevant this week | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
because it is right Open. Anyone who can handle these conditions, | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
the golf course playing as it is and, as I say, this mental | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
exercise... These guys I used to getting rewarded after good shots | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
but it is not happening here all the time. Just a bit and it is how | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
they deal with that. It will be exciting to see how it unfolds at | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
the weekend. Yes, maybe after Andy Murray | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
winning at Wimbledon, it would be too greedy to hope for a Scottish | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
winner here. The leading Scott so far is Martin Laird, finishing on | :22:46. | :22:55. | |
1-under par and is just four shots behind sacked Johnson of the USA. - | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
- Zach Johnson. Let me tell you about the football. The Europa | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
League action under way in the qualifiers. Two Scottish teams in | :23:04. | :23:12. | |
action. St Johnstone are in Norway and they are leading 1-0. That is | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
just about it from me. Back to basking in the rays. I will bring | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
my factor 50 tomorrow! It has been another cracking day | :23:24. | :23:34. | |
:23:34. | :23:35. | ||
for many across the country. Here, it reached 26 degrees. A Highland | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
cows and others were enjoying the sun in a Glasgow park. And in | :23:40. | :23:50. | |
:23:50. | :23:57. | ||
Glasgow, people were taking a dip At least you must be getting a bit | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
of a breeze there? Yes, it is probably one of the few | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
places in the country way you are guaranteed to get some relief from | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
the heat because it has been a very warm day once again across the | :24:10. | :24:20. | |
:24:20. | :24:21. | ||
This evening, it is a picture of warm sunshine and the reason is | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
high-pressure anchored right across us and it is not often we can say | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
Scotland is the centre of the warm weather. This weekend we certainly | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
will be. This evening, settled and largely dry with clear spells. | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
Spits and spots of rain for the northern and western Isles and | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
misty and murky conditions here. Overnight some of that will spill | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
down the coasts of the mainland. Not as he made as recent nights so | :24:49. | :24:58. | |
more comfortable for sleeping in -- not as humid. | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
The cloud will burn right back and it will be in other very warm day | :25:02. | :25:11. | |
tomorrow. Plenty of sunshine and temperatures getting up to 26 | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
Celsius. For Argyll and the West Highlands, 27 or 28 degrees Celsius. | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
Even the Western Isles will get good spells of sunshine tomorrow. | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
Later in the afternoon, some of the mist and roll -- low cloud will | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
roll down into Aberdeenshire. Cooling down here. Tomorrow evening, | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
at the low cloud becoming more expensive and some will spill | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
inland through the central belt overnight. For the weekend, a | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
slightly different feel for Saturday and Sunday. Saturday will | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
start with misty and murky conditions, burning back to the | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
east coast but it will linger for much of the day so that could cause | :26:00. | :26:08. | |
issues for the golf at Muirfield. For Sunday, is similar looking date | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
with a low cloud and mist burning back to the east coast and it will | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
hang around there so peg their if you want a break from the heat. | :26:17. | :26:27. | |

Warmest in the West. If you enjoy A reminder of tonight's news: A | :26:29. | :26:38. | |

field and the Open got started today. | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
As temperatures remain high across much of Scotland and the rest of | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
the UK, a heatwave there lurked in England has been extended to two | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
more region's. The south-west and the West Midlands have now be | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
issued with a level three warning by the met Office, joining the | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
south-east and London. Forecasters say this July could be the driest | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
on record. A rail union is protesting against | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
plans to re privatise the East Coast main line which runs from | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
Edinburgh to London. The RMT union says the service is well run | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
unprofitable since been put into public ownership. | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
That is Reporting Scotland. I will be back at 8 o'clock and the late | :27:30. | :27:34. |
