There is more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. We are back | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
with the Good afternoon. A fighter on the | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
tennis court who used that determination to battle the disease | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
that was ultimately to end her life. That's how friends and family have | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
described Elena Baltacha, who's died of liver cancer at the age of 30. | :00:17. | :00:27. | |

in Glasgow this afternoon. Her loss is felt deeply here. Shipley B squad | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
as a teenager. At just 14 winning a Scottish cup medal. In more recent | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
years, she still remembered her winning partner will stop Elina came | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
up and spoke to me, and I hadn't spoken to her for a few years. She | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
was really nice. That was the type of person she was. She remembered | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
people and was a nice person, so I think it is sad when someone with so | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
much life in her. Won it was in Perth that Elina's talent was first | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
spotted. She took up tennis aged nine. Won this girl with big thick | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
spectacles came down to read tennis club, and as soon as she left, we | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
knew she had exceptional talent. Much is expected of her. This year, | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
I would like to be number one in Great Britain for my age group, and | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
in a couple of years, I would like to turn professional. By the age of | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
18 or 19, I would like to be number one in the world. She didn't | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
disappoint. In 2002, she was on centre court at Wimbledon. The man | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
who helped get their is courage to me. He says her passing is a | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
personal boss for him, and a great loss to tennis. She had a big | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
heart. Really competitive. A great athlete. No fear. One of those | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
things that most tennis players have is fear, but she would hit the ball, | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
miss it, and keep hitting the ball until it went in. Won establishing | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
herself as a young player on the circuit, she came under the wing of | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
Judy Murray, who she had beaten in the Scottish cup just years before. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Andy Murray said it was tough to understand the tragic loss. The | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
First Minister said she was as much a role model of the court as she was | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
dedicated and superb on it. Won and that Scotland has lost one of our | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
most well loved sports stars. Elena Baltacha, who has died at the | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
age of 30. An investigation is under way after | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
a 19-year-old woman was raped in an underpass in Stirling in the early | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
hours of the morning. Police are appealing for anyone with | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
information to come forward. The attack happened sometime between | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
4:30pm and 5:00pm at Customs Roundabout, near Laurencroft in the | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
town. A mobile crane has toppled over in | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
Aberdeenshire. No-one was injured in the accident at an industrial estate | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
in Peterhead earlier today, and an investigation is now under way. The | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Health and Safety Executive says it's making initial inquiries into | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
the incident. The Scottish Liberal Democrats | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
kicked off their European campaign in Edinburgh today. Senior figures | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
set out their stall, claiming they're uniquely pro-European and | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
that the other parties are timid. Our political correspondent, Lucy | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
Adams, reports. Fine malt whiskey. One of many | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
products but benefits from Scotland being part of the European Union. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
That was the Lib Dems message at this Edinburgh distillery, used to | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
mark the official start of the European campaign. To the sound of | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
chinking bottles, they explained they are the only party that will | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
keep Scott in Britain, in Europe, and in work. They are offering green | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
policies, more jobs and less crime. For the Scottish leader, it was down | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
to one simple question. Are you in or out? If you elect another | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
nationalist, all you will have is an extra nationalist to bang the drum | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
for independence. What we need is some like Joe Schlein, who will make | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
the case, the positive case, for Scotland being in Britain and the | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
EU. Won but the SNP are the only party eyeing up the seat. Others are | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
looking to extend their influence will get their first signal of the | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
border, and challenge the Scotland's running the Dem MP. We | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
have only party standing up with clear mandate of being positive | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
about staying in the UK and staying in the EU. UKIP want to take us out | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
as did the Tories. Labour are splitting, and we are standing up to | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
defend our membership of the EU. SNP plans for independence put at risk | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
our membership of the European Union. With six seats up for grabs, | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
questions remain as to how the strength of their message will | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
measure up. Aberdeen's new ?22 million aquatics | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
centre has opened to the public. The 50m Olympic-standard swimming pool | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
and diving area took three years to develop. It was built after a long | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
campaign to improve facilities in the north-east, and aims to attract | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
athletes from across the UK. Hundreds of Black Watch veterans are | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
returning to Scotland after a weekend honouring those who fell on | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
the battlefields of Belgium during the First World War. They also | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
unveiled a memorial to men from the regiment who held the line during | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
one of the earliest and bloodiest battles of the war. Our reporter, | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Andrew Anderson, was with the veterans. | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
The monument, where people pay respects to the fallen from Britain | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
and the Commonwealth. The Black Watch came here, veterans and | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
serving soldiers, to honour them. Helping keep his -- story from a | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
century ago a live for a new generation. And they came here as | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
Black Watch Corner will stop among them, the oldest of the veterans. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Unveiling a statue to those who fell holding the line in 1914. The Black | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
Watch Sergeant forever poised to go into battle. You make when you | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
consider that 100 years hasn't meant anything, it is important. Won lest | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
we forget. Won many people from villages nearby also paid their | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
respects. In the years ahead, it will be local people from this part | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
of Belgium who will look after the statue and turn to it. That is a | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
mark of respect for which the Black Watch is held in this part of | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
Flanders. The wiki in 1914 but also 1917 when the Scottish division | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
where her. They bore the brunt of the attack with lots of casualties. | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
The Black Watch were always here. Won these men are now back home. It | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
is Mission accomplished. A memorial to events a century ago that will | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
stand for centuries to come. Now let's get the weather forecast, | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
and Judith is at the map this evening. Have we mist much? | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
It has been mild, but a good evening to you. We have had mild conditions. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
It has not been too bad as far as Scotland's bank holiday weather goes | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
at this time of year. There was some rain, but also brightness. But see | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
how things shape up this evening. We see a band of rain pushing up. There | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
will be dry interludes. Query conditions feeding into the west by | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
the end of the night. Quite breezy over the Northern Isles. Overnight | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
lows generally around seven or eight Celsius. Tomorrow, a better day for | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
most of us. It will be dry at first light across much of Scotland, but | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
some overnight rain across the north-east. That will continue to | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
pour northwards. Eventually clearing from Shetland during the course of | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
the afternoon. A lot of dry weather for the morning. We will see a | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
future was developing coming afternoon. I think those showers | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
will mainly be a high ground feature. Most of its holding on to | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
drag conditions. Temperatures ranging from 16 in east to 14 in the | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
West. We will pick up a breeze during the day. This weather front | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
her coming and bringing heavy showers. We will see another front | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
approaching on Wednesday, bringing more in a way of showers. Low | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
pressure responsible, but it won't be too dramatic. There will be some | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
brightness on Wednesday, but also some showers. The main focus will be | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
across western Scotland. If you are in the east and south. Quite a windy | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
day. A brisk south-westerly wind. That is your very much. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
And that's all for now. Join me for the late bulletin at the earlier | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
