Thank you. With are back | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Good evening A group of eminent scientists has warned | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
that medical and scientific research in Scotland will suffer if | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
The heads of three major institutions made the claim in a | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
The Scottish Government says it would be fully committed to | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
maintaining existing collaborative research arrangements with | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
the rest of the UK. Willie Johnston reports. | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
Sir Paul Nurse, president of the Royal Society, is one of the | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
letter's signatories along with his counterpart at the British Academy | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
and the Academy of medical sciences. They claim scientific research | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
across the UK rates are at the Scotland went it alone. He told a | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
meeting of academics in Edinburgh that in research terms Scotland | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
punches above its weight internationally and in terms of UK | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Government research funding. The Scottish population is just over | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
8% of the total population of the United Kingdom but that 8% of tracts | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
over at 13% of research Council funding. | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
The difference is actually not huge, about ?35 million every year. I | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
think an independent Scotland could afford the different spending | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
priorities to close that gap. In a statement, academics for a yes | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Port Said independents would protect Scotland's universities and a low | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
research priorities to be determined. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
With 18 days to go, it's been a big day for the Commonwealth Games. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
The Scottish Team are now entering their training camps | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
and last night there was a test run of Athletes' Village. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
Our Games reporter, Lisa Summers, was there but first here's | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Aileen Clarke who has been following the Queen's Baton. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
At Gleneagles, host of the Ryder Cup, it was glittering sunshine. But | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
how would the baton make it onto the green? | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
They have been skydiving with the baton. | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
This team jumped from 8000 feet with it. The first time the baton has | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
been in freefall. I actually used a baseball bat as | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
the practice baton. But it was secured. | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
Picking up the baton, Katrina Matthew, savouring the moment with | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
her family. Very excited. I missed it when it | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
came through our home town so I was being told what to do. | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
This fund raiser for the Building Bridges charity had her own moment | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
of glory. I had a great day. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Are you looking forward to the Games? | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
Yes. There was a chance for the Apple leads to get a photo at the | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
training camp. It will be here at the Athletes' | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Village that the Scottish team will meet up again. It has the feel of a | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
Scandinavian town and with over 6000 competitors and officials arriving | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
soon it has to be ready. A small test run took place last night. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
Guests tried out the facilities. The structure is two and a half | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
times the size of an Olympic swimming pool. We will turn the seas | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
over three times in the mealtimes. We have a variety of food for | :03:42. | :03:51. | |
different dietary requirements. Any day now, that community will | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
come alive. In here, they will come to discuss | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
the highs and lows of the day. In just over one week' time they will | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
be here. We have had some sunshine and a fair | :04:06. | :04:23. | |
few showers but we will see those die out. Mainly confined to the West | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
Coast. Tomorrow, it looks like a repeat of today. We are going to see | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
a repeat of the sunshine but also widespread shares. It start slightly | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
dry and bright but we will see some shares quite quickly coming to the | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
north-west Highlands and they will come inland. Some of them could be | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
heavy and bundling. -- thundery. The winds will stay late across the | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
country so it will be pleasant if you manage to miss the showers. | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Our next update is tomorrow lunchtime during | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Until then, from everyone here, enjoy the rest | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
Good evening. It looks like for most of us the weather will be fairly | :05:07. | :05:20. | |
similar to what we saw today. The broad themes throughout this | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
weekend, sunny | :05:23. | :05:23. |
