first British champion. That is it for now.

Good evening. Police in Fife are investigating the

death of a two-year-old boy in Thornton. Officers were called to a

house in the village last night, and are treating the death as

unexplained. Aileen Clarke reports. The ambulance service was called to

this house just before 8pm last night. They then alerted the police.

The two-year-old had been found dead in a bedroom by a member of the

family. Lisa see no one has been arrested or detained but other local

parents should not be alarmed. It is tragic and devastating circumstances

for the family, we have a family lives on officers working with the

family to establish what has occurred. We are not looking for

anyone else at this stage of the operation. Neighbours say the family

including the two-year-old twin brothers had been seen earlier in

the day. Yesterday my sons had went to the shops, around three or four,

and seen the family all at the shops, all looked happy and like a

normal family. We sincerely are currently treating the death as

unexplained and will not speculate as to just how this little boy lost

his life. ? The world's biggest investment fund manager, Blackrock,

has said Scottish independence would bring "major uncertainties, costs

and risks". But, in response, Yes Scotland says

the credit agency Standard and Poor's highlighted the

attractiveness of an independent Scotland for business. Meanwhile, an

economics professor has said the Treasury's case against a possible

currency union does not stand up to scrutiny. A spokesman for the First

Minister says the report from Leslie Young "totally demolishes" the

Whitehall analysis. The Better Together campaign insists the

professor's work is flawed. And the SNP should tell voters its plan B on

currency. The President of the local

government umbrella organisation, Cosla, has urged Labour councils to

think again about plans to end their membership. David O'Neill delivered

his plea at the Labour conference in Perth. From there, our political

editor Brian Taylor reports. The conference has backed plans to

give local authorities more power in future, but right now Labour

councils are unhappy with the umbrella properly -- umbrella

organisation. Kozlov's president urged a rethink. Only cohesive and

powerful voice for local government across Scotland has any chance of

success. Seeking to damage that voices short-sighted because the

long-term impact will be felt by those in our communities that we

represent and who need our help. In a question session party leaders and

sympathise with Labour councillors who feel Kozlov is not standing up

for them. They also acknowledged the benefits of unity. Closing the

conference the deputy leader said the wider choice facing the people

Scotland was clear. 's devolution versus separation. Social justice

versus nationalism. I am confident that with your help devolution and

social justice will win. Supporters of independence is the it will offer

a route to social justice. Thousands of Aberdeen football club

fans have seen the Scottish League Cup trophy being paraded through the

city centre by the team on an open-top bus. Last week the Dons

beat Inverness in a penalty shoot out. Kevin Keane reports.

This was the fans stay. And thousands of them see the silverware

twinkle in the sun. For the film mile of union Street, crowds lined

both sides, eager to groups that elusive trophy. And simply to bask

in the city's gaudy. It is good to remember that when I was a kid, you

can ever it being like this. It is amazing. We waited 19 years but it

is unbelievable. I have never seen so many people in my life, it is a

brilliant atmosphere. The open top bus was taking the team to a civic

reception hosted by the City council. An opportunity for people

to enjoy the club's success and for loyal fans to be rewarded with this

site. We were hoping for a big crowd but I think this is beyond our

expectations. As last Sunday was, 43,000 at Parkhead last Sunday was

an amazing sight. A site the city was once used to. Many hoped this

would be a one off. Time for the weather.

It has been a lovely day for many of us, but with those blue skies we see

clear skies and eight the cold night as you can see by the frosty cold

behind me. It could be cold the slate we have seen this year, the

widespread frost meaning we will already see temperatures reaching

freezing and certainly that will be the case the night. -1 or minus two

degrees. It will be a drowning, possibly minus five degrees or minus

six degrees. Tomorrow will be cold, frosty and with lovely sunshine from

first light. Dry cold the although we will see some change with the

cloud increasing towards the West Coast, the afternoon. Some rainbow

with an alternate, but the strengthening southerly wind. --

some rain moving in overnight. For the rest of the week we see rain on

Tuesday but from Wednesday onwards it is predominantly dry with a

lighter winds. That's Reporting Scotland for now.

We are back to late. Just after the BBC 10pm news. Goodbye.

Hello. Following today's showers, tonight is going to be much colder.

Clear skies, light winds, a recipe for a widespread frost. Sharp

showers for the next couple of hours. From East Yorkshire to the

south-east. Hail and thunder. Skies will clear across many areas.
