Good afternoon. In a no-holds-barred attack on the

:00:08.:00:11.

SNP's defence plans, UK Defence Secretary Phillip Hammond is warning

:00:12.:00:13.

an independent Scotland could not maintain the country's current level

:00:14.:00:18.

of protection. Speaking at the Conservative Party Conference in

:00:19.:00:20.

Edinburgh he described SNP defence plans as deluded and said that an

:00:21.:00:23.

independent Scotland could not support a warship building industry.

:00:24.:00:27.

Our Political Correspondent Glenn Campbell reports.

:00:28.:00:33.

The Defence Secretary said that the scale of the UK's Armed Forces

:00:34.:00:36.

benefits Scotland in terms of defence. The scale of UK defence

:00:37.:00:41.

spending benefits Scotland's economy. More than 12,000 people

:00:42.:00:45.

work in defence industries in Scotland. Some of those jobs in the

:00:46.:00:51.

Clyde and Rosyth are supported directly by Royal Navy contracts. At

:00:52.:00:55.

no point did the Defence Secretary say that those contracts would dry

:00:56.:00:59.

up or be withdrawn in the event of independence, although he did say

:01:00.:01:03.

that he thinks the SNP are deluded or seeking to delude when they

:01:04.:01:08.

suggest that a warship building industry can be maintained after

:01:09.:01:12.

independence. That have been suggestions from the unions at

:01:13.:01:15.

Rosyth this week that Royal Navy orders from the rest of the UK would

:01:16.:01:21.

not come after independence. The SNP say there is no reason why those

:01:22.:01:25.

contracts could not be won by Scottish firms, and of course there

:01:26.:01:29.

will be others from an independent Scottish navy, also. The Defence

:01:30.:01:33.

Secretary does not believe the promises and is confident that the

:01:34.:01:36.

best route for the defence industries in Scotland was for

:01:37.:01:41.

Scotland to remained part of the UK.

A man in his late 20s has died following a disturbance in a house

:01:47.:01:49.

in the North East of Glasgow. The incident happened at about 1:45am in

:01:50.:01:52.

Conisborough Road. Police are treating the man's death as

:01:53.:01:55.

suspicious. It's understood they're following a definite line of

:01:56.:01:56.

inquiry. A man in his 20s has died after

:01:57.:02:00.

being hit by three vehicles on the M73 near Gartcosh. The man was hit

:02:01.:02:04.

while he was walking on the carriageway at about 5:15 this

:02:05.:02:07.

morning when he was struck by an Audi A3, a Vauxhall Vectra and a

:02:08.:02:10.

Volkswagen Scirocco. In Rugby, Scotland kick off their

:02:11.:02:13.

final Six Nations match against Wales at 2:45pm. Edinburgh's Douggie

:02:14.:02:17.

Fife will make his debut in the match, which is live on the BBC. The

:02:18.:02:21.

Scots have only won six times in Cardiff since the Second World War.

:02:22.:02:24.

It's interim coach Scott Johnson's last game in charge.

:02:25.:02:27.

Football, and there was one match played in the Premiership last

:02:28.:02:31.

night. Celtic beat Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, 3-0. All three goals

:02:32.:02:35.

were scored in the second half by Kris Commons. Celtic are now just

:02:36.:02:38.

seven points away from clinching a third consecutive league title

:02:39.:02:42.

championship. Now, let's have a look at the

:02:43.:02:45.

weekend weather. Here's Judith Ralston.

:02:46.:02:51.

Good afternoon. The emphasis for this afternoon will be on a lot of

:02:52.:02:57.

dry weather. We are close to this area of high pressure but it is not

:02:58.:03:02.

close enough to keep these areas of low pressure away and we will see

:03:03.:03:08.

some results. The cloud thick enough to bring rain in western areas and

:03:09.:03:13.

into the north, but there will be dry areas in between. The best of

:03:14.:03:17.

the driest conditions are in the East. We might even see some

:03:18.:03:21.

brightness elsewhere through the thick cloud and rubbing my old

:03:22.:03:25.

everywhere, highs of 30 Celsius, quite breezy. -- 13 Celsius. It was

:03:26.:03:37.

a breezy and on the mild side for tomorrow's. More drizzle towards the

:03:38.:03:44.

West Coast, drier conditions inland and the best of the conditions in

:03:45.:03:49.

the East. High-temperature is of 15 Celsius for Aberdeenshire.

:03:50.:03:53.

And that's Reporting Scotland. Our next update's later than usual, at

:03:54.:03:56.

7:10 this evening. Until then, from everyone on the team here in the

:03:57.:04:00.

Glasgow, enjoy the rest of your Saturday

:04:01.:04:01.

Following on from what has been largely dry and settled week with

:04:02.:04:14.

high pressure in charge, the weekend weather continues on that theme,

:04:15.:04:18.

too. Things are looking largely dry, not everywhere, but there will

:04:19.:04:22.

be some warm sunshine on offer, particularly through the afternoons.

:04:23.:04:25.

It will be feeling fairly
