BBC Tonight, on your national news. Day | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
1 of Glasgow's Commonwealth Games, and Team Scotland has already struck | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
gold. Local girl Kimberley Renicks brings the SECC crowd to its feet, | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
with success in the judo. And more medals are guaranteed there tonight. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
There's been cycling success too. Paisley's Aileen McGlynn and her | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
pilot take silver after losing to England in the para-sprint tandem. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Meanwhile, it's a huge night for Scotland here at Tollcross in the | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
city's east end. After making it through this morning's heats, no | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
fewer than seven Scots, including red hot favourite Michael Jamieson, | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
are in finals action this evening. And twelve sports, ten venues, | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
hundreds of thousands of visitors. We look at how the city's been | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
coping with this first day of Good evening from Tollcross where, | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
in half an hour's time 5,000 spectators will raise the roof of | :00:47. | :01:13. | |
this showpiece pool. The swimming finals are one of the hottest | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
tickets at these Games, certainly for the home support, and that's | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
because it's one of the events in which Scotland hopes to shine. This | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
evening Hannah Miley, Robbie Renwick and Michael Jamieson are among those | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
going for gold - more on their hopes The let us hear more about the judo. | :01:27. | :01:48. | |
Thank you. It is the first Gold medal four teams Scotland at these | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
Commonwealth Games. It happened just a few moments ago. Rapturous | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
applause for Kimberley Renicks in the judo. The 48 K category. Here is | :01:58. | :02:14. | |
how it happened. I think one of the problems is the Indonesian has had | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
it too easy throughout the day. It is not going as planned. Beautiful! | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
She has got it. Kimberley Renicks. Can she and her sister do the | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
double? That is the question. What a night it is for the family. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Kimberley Renicks is a part-time carer for her mum. In less than half | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
an hour, her sister will be going in a final as well. Louise Renicks is | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
in the final of the 52 K category. Hopefully we can update you on that | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
before the end of the programme. There is another chance of the Gold | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
medal tonight as Stephanie Inglis from Inverness has also reached the | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
final. The medals don't stop there. A bronze for John Buchanan in the | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
last few seconds. The chance of another two bronze medals for Connie | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
Ramsay and James Miller. From judo alone, the Meadowhall could be three | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
gold and at least three bronze. That would be good. Scotland has won | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
silver in the velodrome. Aileen McGlynn and Louise Haston | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
just lost out to England pairing of Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
in the paracycling sprint tandem Success in the judo but the first | :03:43. | :03:56. | |
medal for Scotland in these games came right here in the velodrome. It | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
was courtesy of Aileen McGlynn -- Aileen McGlynn and her pilot. The 17 | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
-- silver in the para-sprint tandem. It was the best of three races. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
England took the races to claim the gold. England just won the first | :04:15. | :04:25. | |
race by half the wheel. They won the secondary is more convincingly. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Still, a silver rip medal for Aileen McGlynn and her pilot. They have the | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
balls of being the first Scottish medallists at these Commonwealth | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
Games. Let us hope that success is catching. Hopes are high in the | :04:43. | :04:54. | |
swimming pool tonight. Here is the story of the swimming pool so far. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
There was a huge roar as Michael Jamieson went off on the 200 meter | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
breaststroke. Mike synchronised Scottish swim team, there was only | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
ever three in the race. Murdoch pulled away to win the heat, a | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
personal best. I am delighted with that swim. I have been swimming | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
really well when we were at the training camp in Aberdeen. I am in | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
great shop -- sheet. I am not a robot, it would not be natural if I | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
did not win occasionally. It is great to have their support, so many | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
people. Even the volunteers and the people in the village supporting | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
us. It is brilliant to have that behind us. The first race was the | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
women's 400 metres individual medley. Hannah Miley would like she | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
had work to do. She medley. Hannah Miley would like she | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
comfortable winner in the end. There was plenty to keep the crowds | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
entertained. More Scottish triumph and another one two, three in the | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
400 metres freestyle. I have had a good season of training so I know I | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
have a background for the 400. Dead chuffed to get one two, three with | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
these boys. The only disappointment was the failure to qualify for | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
Sophie McClatchy. It was a fantastic start for the Scottish swim team, | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
just as they promised. The sun is shining, lots of people standing | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
outside Tollcross tonight. We have Australians in the crowd. Who are | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
you supporting tonight? Michael. Do you hope he can deliver? Yes, | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
definitely. Another gold for Hannah Miley hopefully. Mixed feelings, we | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
obviously support England but we want Michael Jamieson to do well and | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
some English medals as well. Good luck tonight. High hopes for Michael | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Jamieson and Hannah Miley in the pool, but what else can the Scottish | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
team deliver? And here we have one of the best | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Scottish swimmers in history, David Wilkie, so many Scottish hopes in | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
the pool tonight? Yes, we have lots to choose from. Start off with | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
Hannah Miley, she will have tough race but she is on home territory | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
and she should just get it but it will be tight. The 400 freestyle, | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
three Scottish boys than that. Robbie Renwick is the defending | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
champion. He has made the finals so he has a chance but it will be tough | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
for him. The 200 breaststroke, who would've thought we would have been | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
the Scotus qualifiers. Michael Jamieson got a bit of a skier this | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
morning. -- three Scottish qualifiers. I think Michael has | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
enough to take it tonight. Michael Jamieson said nurse got to him. How | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
bigger danger is that that's so much pressure becomes a difficult thing | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
and gets to them? He would be nervous in the last few days. He has | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
admitted that. The breaststroke is a technical stroke. If you tense up, | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
you cannot relax. technical stroke. If you tense up, | :08:39. | :08:51. | |
this morning. He is capable of doing that tonight. Are you worried about | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
Scottish swimmer? Well, it is not an Scottish swimmer? Well, it is not an | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
Rio de Janeiro, we will talk again but until then, no. | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
Hopes are high here - but hopes have been dashed that the man who | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
was to be one of the Games' star performers has had to pull out. | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
The reigning Olympic 5,000 and 10,000 metre champion has | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
In a statement he said he would take a few more weeks | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Now we have the coach and father of Hannah Miley, what were your last | :09:28. | :09:57. | |
words to her? Just enjoy yourself. The work is done, just go out and do | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
your best. She is great, she is really happy. She has had a very | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
challenging season. I think she is in a really great place at the | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
moment. After the disappointment of London when she came second, you | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
have a point to prove tonight? I guess people want to see things like | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
that but ultimately it is about season to season and preparing as | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
best you can. That is all we can do and that is what she has done. She | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
started the season tremendously well. She still qualified a week | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
later and raced well. It is a remarkable story. We are a year | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
wiser and she is a tough girl and I have learned a lot from her. You | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
have been under a certain amount of pressure as well, the fact that you | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
still train in a local swimming pool in Inverurie, despite the lure of | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
going to bigger facilities. Why do you stay there? There is a lot more | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
to the swimming than the facilities. It is a combination of | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
things. She trust the environment and the coaching. It is a much more | :11:18. | :11:27. | |
comfortable environment. She is very trusting. The family environment | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
gives her a great basis. She also trains in the Aberdeen sports | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
village which has made a big difference. Look forward next two | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
years towards the Olympics. Will it be harder to watch the race as a | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
father or coach? Goodness me, as a father. I pretend to watch as a | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
coach but I am a father. I remember 2010 as the head coach. She was | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
about to swim. I said, do not expect anything year and she went out and | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
won it. The country is rooting for you and for her. Fingers crossed. | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
Thank you for joining us. That visit from eyes. The seats are filling up. | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
We have 15 minutes to go. Let's hope we get the glint of gold this | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
evening. Back to the studio. Thank you very much. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
The families of the four people killed | :12:33. | :12:33. | |
in a car crash near Polmont say they are devastated by their deaths. | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
A mother, father and their two young children | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
died when their car collided with a lorry on the A801 yesterday. | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
Police officers were back at the crash scene today searching for | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
evidence which may help them help -- which may help them find out how the | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
accident happened. Judges had been paid to 23-year-old Graham Lockhart | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
and Shauna Robb from Bathgate who died with their two children. Their | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
black Fiat was travelling north on the A801 near the lock Alan | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
roundabout when it was involved in a head-on collision with a lorry. This | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
is terrible. The circumstances are horrendous. To lose a family unit is | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
shocking. To lose to MAG appearance and two young children is a tragedy. | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
-- two young parents. Police are keen to speak to a silver people | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
carrier scene near the accident. The road is busy link load. Locals have | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
described it as notorious and safety concerns have been raised. As the | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
police continue their investigation, family and friends of those who died | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
struggled to come to terms with the loss of two young children and their | :13:59. | :14:17. | |
parents. . Following a hearing today, the Court of Session upheld a | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
decision denying to prisoners the right to vote in the independence | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
referendum. The two prisoners were saying that the Scottish referendum | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
is of such fundamental importance because it could change the way in | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
which their lives will be left where they are to be a yes vote. They | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
would be living in a new and independent country. That was one of | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
the arguments. They said that they should have been allowed to vote. | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
They said that into other EU countries only, are prisoners | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
blocked from voting. They were putting forward that argument as | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
well. But it was particularly on the referendum issue. The Independence | :15:13. | :15:21. | |
fought could have an impact on their lives, they said. What implications | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
could there have been if they had won the appeal? If the judges had | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
ruled in their favour, and there had been rulings in Europe forcing the | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
UK to allow prisoners to vote in domestic elections, the government | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
is not voting on that, but the implication could have meant that | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
prisoners would have been able to vote in a referendum in and out on | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
Europe which the Tories say they will offer after the next general | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
election. Thank you very much. Plans have been revealed to protect | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
Scotland's seas and the birds, whales and other species | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
which depend on them. A network of thirty | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
Marine Protected Areas is to be set Our environment correspondent, | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
David Miller, reports. Scotland's sees a rich with marine | :16:09. | :16:17. | |
life, but these are Scotland's sees a rich with marine | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
which can easily be damaged by human activity. Now they will have greater | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
protection than ever before. From West Coast to East Coast, from | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
Shetland to the Solway Firth and Berwickshire, today's announcement | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
means more than a fifth of Scottish seas are now in specially protected | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
areas. Fishermen's leaders have given the changes are cautious | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
welcome. They have helped shape the plans along with the environmental | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
groups and scientists. All the competing interests are now signed | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
up to protect overseas. We have a responsibility as a nation to look | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
after these habitats. Out here we have the Firth of Forth... The | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
warmest welcome have the Firth of Forth... The | :17:15. | :17:17. | |

conservationists who have campaigned Scottish seas. If these sites are | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
well managed, they can help our seas come back to health. That is the key | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
message today. Our fragile and beautiful marine echo systems can | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
help themselves if they are given the chance. -- ecosystems. | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
A funeral service for the renowned golf coach Bob | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
The father of former Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance, | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
he was best known for his work with the two-times Open | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
Champion Padraig Harrington - who described his tutor as "a genius". | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
Bob Torrance died last week of cancer, aged 82. | :17:58. | :18:13. | |
Archaeologists in Edinburgh say five years of work | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
has shed new light on the lives and deaths of people in Leith as | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
It follows a dig which unearthed hundreds | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
of bodies during preparation for the capital's Tram project. | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
Experts have been analysing details of their diet and lifestyle, and | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
even drafted in artists to recreate the faces of three of them. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
It gives them an identity which I personally would be very pleased | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
about after all these years. I got my face back in a way. | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
Now back to the Commowealth Games and thousands of spectators have | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
been watching the first day of competition in Glasgow. | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
Our reporter Aileen Clarke joined them. | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
Games fans don't come more of passionate than the family from | :18:51. | :19:00. | |
Australia's Gold Coast. Amazing, Scottish people have been so | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
friendly and welcoming. They are amazing. And though whether! We | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
thought it was going to be really cold. But apparently this is normal | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
for you guys in summer. What are you off to see today? Weightlifting. We | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
have our daughter weightlifting at three o'clock this afternoon. How | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
exciting? Just a little bit. Remember the name. They are far from | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
the only family on tenterhooks. The game is in family are looking | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
forward to swimming. I do not think enough people know how much work he | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
does. That is why we all get involved in is as much as he does. | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
We all feel the nervous and stuff like that. After all these years, it | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
comes down to this one night. I have butterflies. I could not keep it | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
together last night at the ceremony either. Spectators have engaged team | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
into the spirit of the games throughout the city. We have been to | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
weightlifting this morning. Our first experience, it was fantastic. | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
I really enjoyed it. Some had come prepared. We are you going? We were | :20:23. | :20:32. | |
in the gymnasts. The city centre is buzzing with visitors. It seems that | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
after the Opening Ceremony, the duke of Wellington is even more popular | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
with photographers today. The Highland Terrier is where the stars | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
of the show last night. These two seem to enjoy the attention. Hamish | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
took it in his stride. When I walked in I just thought, this is it. It | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
did not go to plan last night, Jock was a bit reluctant. He did not like | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
the courts. He does not we are courts. I'd is carried him and it | :21:15. | :21:27. | |
was fine. -- I just carried him. All around the venue, the Clydesiders | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
were trying to get smiles. Let us find out what the answer is like in | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
the merchant city. Plenty of people around? It is fantastic year. It is | :21:37. | :21:45. | |
only day one, but Glasgow has taken these games to its heart. We are | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
right in the middle of the merchant city. It has been taken over from | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
one big street party. The atmosphere is electric. There are more than | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
200,000 extra people in the city tonight. Many more people have come | :22:03. | :22:12. | |
a long, not just for the games. Perhaps that is because they saw the | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
Opening Ceremony last night on the television. It attracted more than 2 | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
million viewers in Scotland. Sport is not for everyone and the | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
organisers have thought of that. We are right in the middle of the | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
cultural festival which is carrying on throughout the games. We have | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
music playing at the moment. There is only one sure in town tonight and | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
that is the swimming. If you want to see the finest Scottish swimmers | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
appear tonight, you can on the big screen at Glasgow Green or at | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
specific key. Before we go, a reminder that Scotland has won its | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
first gold at judo. Our reporter is in Glasgow. Great news. Absolutely | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
fantastic news. Thank you very much. The gold medal came about half an | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
hour ago. It was won by 26-year-old Kimberley Renicks from Coatbridge in | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
the judo. It was an electric atmosphere. We wondered about the | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
benefit of the home crowd. Inside that hall, it was electric and I am | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
a veteran of these Commonwealth Games. The first Gold medal for | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
Kimberley Renicks. Her big sister, Louise Renicks, will be on the mat | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
any time now because she is also in a final. She is in the heavier | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
weight category. What a day for the family. There could be a third gold | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
medal also from Stephanie Inglis from Inverness. Six medals | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
guaranteed 14 Scotland on day one. We have all been talking about the | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
swimming, Michael Jamieson and Hannah Miley, several -- seven medal | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
chances there. It is all adding up to a fantastic day 114 Scotland. | :24:22. | :24:30. | |
Thank you very much Rona. Some fantastic weather as well. Let us | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
get the latest. Christopher is up on the roof. | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
Hello there. If you take a look behind me you can see where the | :24:42. | :24:50. | |
gymnastics is taking place. You can see down the river that it is | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
gymnastics is taking place. You can beautiful day here in Glasgow. | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
gymnastics is taking place. You can beautiful day across the | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
gymnastics is taking place. You can the country. 29 degrees. If you like | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
the heat, it has been a lovely day. It will stage I and sunny this | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
evening. It will stay dry, perhaps the risk of a shower in Inverness. | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
We will see the mist returning across the North Sea coast. It will | :25:20. | :25:29. | |
not be called. In the West, temperatures more like the mid | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
teens. A familiar start tomorrow, the mist in the East coast. Towards | :25:36. | :25:44. | |
lunch time, plenty of warm sunshine and blue skies. By mid-afternoon, | :25:45. | :25:53. | |
the warmest part of the day, we can see temperatures much like today. As | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
we go up the West Coast, it will be a touch cooler with degrees from the | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
sea, similar on the Hebrides with the mist burning off quickly. | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
Towards the Northern Isles, the mist will burn off. The list could return | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
in Inverness in the afternoon. Some list in the East during the day. | :26:18. | :26:29. | |
Into the evening, there is the risk of late afternoon showers across the | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
Highlands. You will be unlucky if you catch one. Here is the pressure | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
chart for the weekends. We have a change on the Wii, clouds and wet | :26:40. | :26:48. | |
weather coming. Cloud in the West with showers. That will cross the | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
country through the day. For now, from a beautiful rooftop, back to | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
you. Thank you very much. Alas look at the headlines. Scotland has won | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
its first gold in the at the headlines. Scotland has won | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
Kimberley Renicks. It is also a big night in the swimming pool. No fewer | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
than seven Scots, including Michael Jamieson are in the finals this | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
evening. Coming up soon. Kitchen for that. That's Reporting Scotland. -- | :27:23. | :27:32. | |
keep tuned for that. There is no eight o'clock headline tonight. | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
There is the swimming at Tollcross. I will be back with the main | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
bulletin at 10:25pm. Join me then. Good night. | :27:43. | :28:04. | |
Well, when did we start funding projects in Gaza? | :28:05. | :28:06. |
