many but still some disturbed weather. Not a wash-out but stay | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
tuned for the details. A report says voting Yes in | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
September would give Scotland new Thousands of civil servants go on | :00:08. | :00:47. | |
strike. Also: The baton Relay has arrived in Orkney. | :00:48. | :01:04. | |
Independence would give Scotland new powers to tackle fuel poverty | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
and high energy costs, according to a government commissioned report. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
The most recent official figures suggest that around a quarter | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
of Scots are unable to afford the cost of heating their house. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
With energy prices forecast to rise further in coming years, | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
But campaigners for the union say there's no guarantee | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
that an independent Scotland would be able to continue to share | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
And that could lead to higher costs for power supplies. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
Our Environment Correspondent, David Miller, | :01:32. | :01:32. | |
Aberdeen Harbour is a key hub for the industry at the heart of | :01:33. | :01:51. | |
Scotland's energy capital. It is easy to see why the future off the | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
industry has played a key role in the debate. But today it is the size | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
of the energy bills we have to pay, and the question of who subsidises | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
the renewable industry, that have taken centre stage. That is thanks | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
to the publication of this report. The independent expert commission on | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
energy regulation said that consumers across the UK should help | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
pay for Scottish wind farms like this one, even after independence, | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
arguing that cooperation across borders works elsewhere in Europe. | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
We looked at comparative situations overseas. Spain, Portugal, the north | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
and south of Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and we have said, you can | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
make these things work across such restrictions. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
The First Minister visited a technology company today and said | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
that maintaining a single murky would be best for everyone. It is | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
vital for the people of England who face a shortage and electricity. It | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
will be extremely tight, according to off game, in a couple of years | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
time. -- Ofgem. But the Westminster government claimed that energy bills | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
could rise by ?189 in Scotland if England look elsewhere. | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
We import more from France and the Netherlands than we do Scotland. We | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
have cables that go from here to Belgium, Norway, to import low | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
carbon energy. Expect much more controversy as the referendum | :03:52. | :03:52. | |
approaches. And there's more on that tonight | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
in Scotland 2014. We will discuss the report into how | :03:59. | :04:09. | |
the energy market might work after independence. And we will ask if the | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
taxman destroyed Rangers. HMRC have lost their huge tax case. Did their | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
case cause the destruction of the club? | :04:24. | :04:46. | |
Radioactive particles were first found and are getting be almost a | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
quarter of a century ago. In the aftermath of the Second World War | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
hundreds of planes were dismantled and buried here. The radio and was | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
in landfill used when the shore was reclaimed. Erosion of the coastline | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
exposed the contamination. The scale became apparent in 2011. The MoD | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
recommend actions including: Politicians and locals have long | :05:14. | :05:31. | |
campaigned to get the beach decontaminated. The MoD have now | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
accepted that they must pay ?10 million to clean up this area. They | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
dumped 800 planes here 50 years ago. As a result of coastal erosion of | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
the radiator particles have reached the surface. We must clean up the | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
area and remove the particles then in case the area. -- in case. The | :05:53. | :06:06. | |
consequence is to not leave a legacy for future generations. The | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
community should know this is finally resolved. Knowing that there | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
is radioactive contamination on the beach is something that people have | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
had to live with nearby for years. The question now is will the | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
publication of the report put their consents to rest? -- concerns. The | :06:24. | :06:33. | |
workers due start next spring. If they do everything they have | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
proposed in the report than all the restrictions can be lifted and will | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
return to being a normal beach. The work is expected to be complete by | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
2018. Protective measures will remain in place until then. | :06:47. | :07:05. | |
In sport we'll be live at Aberdeen for the first round of the | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
And the Jamaicans are in town for the Diamond League. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
But why are their big stars not committed to | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Thousands of civil servants across Scotland have been on strike | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
Museums, courts and driving schools were all affected as members | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
of the Public and Commercial Services Union walked out. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
From tax collectors to court staff. Gallery attendants to secretaries. | :07:29. | :07:44. | |
28,000 civil servants walking out in Scotland today. The strike was not | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
as wide-ranging as the industrial action south of the border but the | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
PCS union say that 95% of its members took part and they hope it | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
will send a strong message to both Scottish and UK governments. Listen | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
to your staff. Public sector workers are paid less than private sector | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
equivalents. When 40% of the people delivering universal credit will be | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
dependent on it themselves, then something is wrong. Not everybody | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
was happy. Strike action closed the National Museum and some tourists | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
were disappointed. Hopefully I can get in tomorrow. We will come | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
tomorrow, I guess. There's plenty to in Edinburgh. -- to see. We support | :08:37. | :08:46. | |
higher wages for people so we understand. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
The passport office remained open in Glasgow but with a 95% staff walk | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
out there was inevitable disruption. Likewise at the job centres. Some | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
driving tests were cancelled when test centres in Aberdeen and | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
Peterhead closed. Both governments are playing down the impact of the | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
strike saying only a small percentage of employees took part. | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
We know there will be singing, and dancing, and thousands | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
of children - but we don't know much else about the opening ceremony | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Tonight the BBC has gained exclusive access to Celtic Park | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
It is a 24-hour operation to get this place ready. You can see the | :09:32. | :09:48. | |
track behind me. It will be used by athletes coming into the stadium. | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
The South stand has been transformed to a giant screen. It will bring the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
world to the opening ceremony. Here's a little hint of what is | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
included. So much to do, so little time. The | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
stage is not quite yet set but definitely feels like something is | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
around the corner. Elsewhere, a secret location, frantic rehearsals. | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
Only a hint of the performance music. The volunteer cast members | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
are all wearing headphones. We cannot tell you much really because | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
we don't want to spoil the surprise. If you have watched many ceremonies | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
in your life you will know the rhythm of it. And have mixed it up. | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
3500 volunteers have come from all walks of life. Each and everyone is | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
giving powers of the time to be part the show. They are saying, just tell | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
us a tiny bit. I cannot! It is a blast. The experience and the | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
passion is coming out of people. You don't want to be the one person that | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
the world media looks at and says, they are out of time! It is about | :11:12. | :11:21. | |
attitude. Hello, how are you doing? You know? With just 13 days to go | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
but time that the spectacle is pure dead brilliant. -- lets hope that | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
the spectacle. I'm joined by the man in charge. Give us a hint. This is | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
absolutely amazing. We are delighted with where we are and where we are | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
going. On the night I imagine it will be a spectacle. We are very | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
much looking forward to it. The delegations have already started to | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
arrive. It will be a fantastic location to get the party started. | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
This is the place where the party will start in just under a | :12:11. | :12:11. | |
fortnight. A lifeboatman has been speaking | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
about how he jumped into the North Sea to save | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
a child who'd been swept away. John Chalmers - who was only | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
on his second emergency call-out - managed to get a teenage boy to | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
safety after going into the water. Two other children were also | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
involved in the drama at Fraserburgh Conditions similar to yesterday when | :12:26. | :12:39. | |
the three children were swept out by the current. This picture shows a | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
lifeboatman chomp into the freezing water to rescue one of the children. | :12:47. | :13:00. | |
-- jump. I have a young boy myself so know how hard we have anything | :13:01. | :13:10. | |
happened. After entering the water John concentrated on saving the boy. | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
It was only his second call out since joining the crew. It is my | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
job, what I am trained to do. We do lots of training for this scenario | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
and it kicked in. The lifeboat arrived just in time, the children | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
exhausted and suffering from hypothermia. If we had been held up | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
any further it would have been a totally different outcome. John is a | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
modest hero happy to know that after a night in hospital the children | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
involved are now back home and well. Large numbers of police are | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
attending an ongoing situation at and Edinburgh hospital where access | :14:03. | :14:03. | |
has been restricted. A look at other stories | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
from the across the country. Glasgow has become the first city | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
in Scotland to launch a council-led scheme offering free | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
access to the internet. The Urban Wireless programme, | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
delivered by BT, is a network of 50 Wifi spots covering the city | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
centre and parts of the east end. It gives free 24-hour internet | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
access for the duration of the council's contract - a minimum | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
of eight years. The former Labour MP Mohammad Sarwar has received an | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
honorary degree from the University of the West of Scotland | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
at a graduation ceremony in Paisley. Deacon Blue singer and | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
songwriter Ricky Ross also received an honorary doctorate of arts | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
from Abertay University in Dundee. To be recognised as a songwriter, I | :14:37. | :14:55. | |
do not feel worthy of it. But it is a great honour. | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
Etihad Airways has announced that it is to launch its first service | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
The national airline of the United Arab Emirates will start a direct | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
daily flight from Edinburgh to its home base of Abu Dhabi in June. | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
A million pound lottery grant has been awarded to an ambitious | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
community project in the village of Johnstonebridge in Dumfriesshire. | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
Villagers have already developed children's sports and play areas. | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
Now, faced with losing their village hall, they're going to | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
build a hub to house a shop and post office, a sports and | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
And after that, tennis courts and a bowling green. | :15:24. | :15:35. | |
We need the facility to ensure that people move in. They want to have | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
the recreation facilities in the village. The idea of the new centre | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
is to do with that. What's claimed to be | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
the biggest bar in Scotland opened The pop-up pub, operated by CAMRA, | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
the Campaign for Real Ale, offers more than 150 beers | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
at the Corn Exchange venue, Scottish athlete Eilish McColgan | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
says she's not going to let a recent heart scare hamper her | :15:57. | :16:09. | |
running career. McColgan, who'll compete in | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, suffered an irregular heartbeat | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
three months ago while abroad. She says she knew instantly that | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
something wasn't right, Our Commonwealth Games reporter | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
Jane Lewis has more. Back on track after a heart scare. | :16:18. | :16:31. | |
She says that she suffers heart palpitations since the age of 12 but | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
in April, whilst visiting her mother in the Middle East, she had a | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
different experience. I thought it was just a normal palpitation. I | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
have had hundreds over the years. But I knew instantly this was | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
different. It was initially scary. You don't know what is happening or | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
how long it will last. Medics say that the condition is actually quite | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
common. It is caused by abnormalities in the electrical | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
signal. The top chambers of the heart received blood from the body | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
and longs, if the electrical are abnormal, it was not pomp openly, it | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
wiggles and relates rather than pumping efficiently. That leads to a | :17:17. | :17:25. | |
regular, often fast heartbeats. McColgan is not alone in suffering | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
from the condition. Michael Jamieson's heart went into an | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
irregular beat after a strenuous training session. Other sufferers | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
include an American tennis professional and Irish rugby player. | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
It is reassuring to know other athletes have gone through the same | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
experience and come out the other side to be more successful. McColgan | :17:49. | :17:57. | |
did not have her heart restarted to correct the beat and after receiving | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
medication was soon back competing. She will do so this weekend in front | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
of a home crowd and then weeks later during the Commonwealth Games. | :18:09. | :18:22. | |
It has been glorious weather for the golf in Aberdeen. Have they been | :18:23. | :18:32. | |
burning up the course? One man has. When we came here this | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
morning we had on our minds Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Justin | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
Rose, which big-name might give us a headline? Rory McIlroy has given us | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
an answer. A course record 64. The wind was a stiff test but the | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
Northern Irishman was more than up to the task. If you thought Aberdeen | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
was in for just another normal day think again. The story is all about | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
Rory. Michael Roy says that he is here for a real test of links golf, | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
but why? He makes it look so easy. In scintillating form, this one of | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
six birdies in seven holes. The rest struggled to stay with him including | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
defending champion, Phil Mickelson. Marc Warren lift the Scottish | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
charge. If you goes out there and shoot the lights out, we know he | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
will run away from the field. Michael Roy just about left the | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
lights on but a seven under round in breezy conditions was a real | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
statement of intent. I like this course, it gives you chances to be | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
aggressive as well the strategic. I played well and I controlled my ball | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
flight well, that was the most pleasing thing. They were going in | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
for Stephen Gallacher on the practice green, a different story | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
out on the course. But the opening day belongs to Rory McIlroy. So much | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
for a stiff test. He is making light of the course and the blustery | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
conditions. Ricardo and sellers of Argentina said that he was inspired | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
by his countrymen in the football last night, he shot a round of 65. | :20:28. | :20:39. | |
-- Gonzales. Amongst the Scots, Russell Knox is on three under, | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
incidentally the same as Phil Mickelson. Stephen Gallacher is one | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
over. Paul Lawrie, three over. All eyes on Rory McIlroy again tomorrow. | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
Football and Aberdeen are currently playing a Europa League first | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
qualifying round match, the second leg against the Latvian opponents. | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
They lead 5-0 from the first leg and are currently 3-0 ahead, 8-0 on | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
aggregate. Adam Rooney with a hat-trick. Very comfortable indeed. | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
The double Olympic medallist Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce, and her | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
Jamaican team mate Yohan Blake were in Glasgow today, getting set to | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
compete in tomorrow?s lucrative Diamond League match at Hampden. | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
But the Jamaican sprint stars, including Usain Bolt will be | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
missing from the individual events at the Commonwealth Games which | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
Getting an answer why was no easy task! | :21:34. | :21:45. | |
This is the moment that Blake refused to answer and asked his | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
agent to explain why he is not competing. It is not in his best | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
interest. We have three hard years ahead of us. The World | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Championships, Olympics, another World Championships. I am sorry I | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
won't be here. I think people understand, lowering the level I'm | :22:12. | :22:23. | |
competing. I am sorry, you know? White as you seen Bolt only taking | :22:24. | :22:37. | |
part in the relay? -- Why is Usain? I am not sure. Is there a level not | :22:38. | :22:46. | |
high enough for him? I don't know. It is up to him and his coach. | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
Shelly Ann Fraser Price was injured in trials. Do you think the | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
Commonwealth Games are valued either Jamaican team? -- by the. Everything | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
is valued. We take nothing for granted. It is a huge honour. You | :23:11. | :23:20. | |
might not see too much of them are Commonwealth Games but you will see | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
them at the Diamond league tomorrow night. | :23:24. | :23:35. | |
Cameron Buttle has been following its progress. | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
We have not even arrived in Orkney yet and the party has started on | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
board. They simply could not wait. Traditional music. Photos. Cheers | :23:50. | :24:00. | |
and excitement. Pipe band. Children from the island sports court, all | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
aboard to welcome the baton. It is not often you would volunteer but | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
this is a special occasion. The kids were delighted. We have lots of | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
opportunities here despite being an island. We trained really hard, | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
young age. What is unusual about Orkney is that we have children who | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
are representing Orkney and loads of different sports. Ancient ceremony | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
and celebration go back thousands of years here. The first stop was the | :24:36. | :24:45. | |
standing stones. This is a very appropriate place to be, at the very | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
beginnings of neuropathic Orkney. And now towards the beginnings of a | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
great big ceremony coming up. The baton has been brought into Kirkwall | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
