by the local council. We have never asked for money or | :00:36. | :00:52. | |
anything. We just feel that if they will be building new houses then | :00:53. | :00:53. | |
they could put us into one of them. With just hours until | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
the transfer deadline, it could be the first preseason where no club | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
has spent money signing a player. Both sides in the independence | :01:01. | :01:12. | |
referendum campaign are urging anyone who hasn't yet registered to | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
vote to do so before it's too late. More than 4 million people | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
here have already signed up. And with a high turnout | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
and close result expected, Our political correspondent Tim Reid | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
is here with more Just 17 days to go until polling | :01:24. | :01:33. | |
day, although some voters have If you are to take part at all in | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
this crucial vote on the nation's future and you haven't yet applied | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
to do so, you must have registered by midnight tomorrow to be eligible, | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
and most registration offices will be staffed and will let you hand in | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
your form right up until that point. And if you have registered, | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
or are going to apply to get a postal vote or a proxy vote - | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
that's allowing someone else to vote for you - then that has to be | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
done by 5pm on Wednesday. Very simple. Either contact your | :02:01. | :02:16. | |
local electrode registration officer and get a form. -- electoral | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
registration. Or go online, download the form and get it back to the | :02:25. | :02:34. | |
electoral registration officer. This campaign is keen to find the | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
so-called missing 1 million. Those who are eligible to take part, who | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
do not usually do so, but who could swing this vote. We're making sure | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
that people who may not have registered do register to vote in | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
this very important referendum. We are trying to ensure we have the | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
biggest turnout possible. We know that lots of people who have never | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
voted before I voting to register -- registering to vote in the | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
referendum, and we believe they are registering to vote yes. Today the | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
no camp sought to persuade undecided women voters by appealing to their | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
hearts and their heads. We are trying to get across to people that | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
this is the single biggest decision that people will make in their | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
lifetime. If we vote to leave then there is no going back, it is that | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
simple. I want to build a stronger, better Scotland within the strength | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
of the UK. Some have already made up their minds and faulted by post. | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
Many more will do so. -- voted by post. | :03:52. | :03:52. | |
There are over 4 million people so far registered to vote and more than | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Those numbers will be updated next week, and are expected | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Final turnout on September 18th is expected to be at record levels, | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
perhaps over 80% of the electorate - an estimate which shows, perhaps, | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
just how engaged Scotland is in deciding the nation's future. | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
It's the news that Edinburgh Zoo had been | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
dreading, but tonight it appears the female giant panda Tian Tian | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Our reporter Lisa Summers is at the zoo for us tonight. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
It might be pandas that we are talking about, but it feels like | :04:19. | :04:31. | |
Groundhog Day today at Edinburgh zoo, with the news that tests been | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
carried out on Tian Tian sure that she may have suffered some form of | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
miscarriage. It is three years since she arrived here. The first year, | :04:44. | :04:53. | |
the pandas failed to meet naturally. Last year Tian Tian lost her baby. | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
She is still in those kind of window where a pregnancy as possible. The | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
test that they have been using is very much new science and does seem | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
to indicate some anomalies over the weekend that she is now no longer | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
pregnant. We are watching how the Wall came to see how she behaves, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
and it will be another week or so and we will have much clearer idea | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
-- we are watching how the whole time. We have had some slightly odd | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
results over the weekend, and it could be because there has been so | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
much anticipation about a due date. DNAs that has prompted a backlash | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
with one animal welfare charity -- this announcement has prompted a | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
backlash. The day has said that they will not make any more decisions | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
about next year until they note the future of Tian Tian here for | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
certain. But they say that she is perfectly capable of having more | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
cubs in the future. Still to come: We followed to political mavericks | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
on the Independence trail. And in sport, transfer news from | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
across the country. The cash has not even following -- not been flowing | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
in Scottish football. And Andy Murray's fourth-round clash | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
in the U.S. Open in New York. A lorry driver who fell asleep | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
at the wheel, killing two charity cyclists in Cornwall, has been | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
jailed for eight and a half years. The pair, who worked | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
for the company Aberdeen Asset Management, had been raising money | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
in memory of a former colleague The two men were experienced | :06:40. | :06:49. | |
cyclists, but they did not stand a chance. They were all down morning | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
in Cornwall last July. They had set out on a red from lands end to John | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
O'Groats, when a lorry ploughed into them. One witness said that he took | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
no these that action, he did not even break. He had been seen driving | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
erratically, he had been text in through the night. -- sending text | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
messages through the night. The 32-year-old admitted two charges of | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
causing death by dangerous driving. He also pleaded guilty to driving | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
dangerously in relation to a similar crash ten weeks later. Toby Wallace | :07:31. | :07:44. | |
was based in the United States. Today the weather was issued a | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
statement saying that there were no words to describe their devastation. | :07:49. | :08:03. | |
Passing sentence, the judge said that it was clear that Palmer had | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
been suffering from extreme fatigue. He said that they were good men, the | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
kind of people who make the world a better place for the rest of us. | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
A father has been jailed for six years for culpable homicide | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
after killing a man who'd stolen his son's mobile phone. | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
The victim, Patrick Bradley, had robbed Derek Grant's son of his | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
The father then armed himself with a knife and demanded Bradley hand | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Bradley stabbed Grant in the eye, and Grant retaliated | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
A group of homeowners living in an almost derelict housing estate | :08:35. | :08:45. | |
in West Lothian say they're being left to rot by the local council. | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
The authority wants to knock down Deans South in Livingston, | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
and it says most tenants and householders have already moved. | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
But a small number of people claim they're not being | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
This woman and her family live in the house which they bought ten | :08:57. | :09:12. | |
years ago in Deans South. But most residents have been rehoused in most | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
able have reached a purchase deal with the local authority. It is not | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
a fear deal. We are receiving ?11,000 for the land, ?20,000 or | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
?30,000 for the property. That would leave me majorly in debt. I would | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
want the current market value of my property because there is nothing | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
wrong with it. Isabel Baxter also lives in the estate. We have just | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
asked for a head for a house. We have never asked for any money. If | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
they are building houses then they could put us into one of them. The | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
council has condemned the properties. In 2010, the council | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
failed in its bid to carry out a compulsory purchase order. So far | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
the response from the residence has been extremely positive, see the | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
council. The roofing is like a sheet of paper. It is cracking. Kerry | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
keeps a close eye on the derelict houses near her, but living in this | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
environment takes a toll on her. It makes me cry some days, it is so | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
bad, but I have got to be strong for my children and fight this to the | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
end. Homeowners fear for their properties as the ones around them | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
decline and I'm looking to the council to settle this long-running | :10:50. | :10:50. | |
dispute. A look at other stories | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
from the across the country. Cases of skin cancer in Scotland | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
have increased two-and-a-half-fold over the last 30 years, but survival | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
rates have also soared. The research is from the | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
Alan Lyell Centre for Dermatology in Glasgow, which says prevention | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
is still better than cure. There have been further calls | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
for new investigative powers to be given to the Scottish Society | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in a bid to | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
help police solve wildlife crime. The Scottish Government | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
is considering this move. Its consultation on wildlife crime | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
investigation comes to an end today. A new financial survey says up to | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
10,000 jobs could be created in Scotland's food and drink | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
industry over the next five years. According to the Bank of Scotland, | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
two thirds of companies in the sector are planning to take | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
on additional staff by 2019. The chief executive of | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
Aberdeenshire Council is to retire. Colin Mackenzie was appointed to | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
the post in 2008. He will remain as chief executive | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
until a replacement is appointed, Four photographs taken in Scotland | :11:46. | :11:48. | |

are socialists, but our own separate side of the independence debate. | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
Friday night in Wishaw and hundreds are awaiting the arrival of this | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
man. Tommy Sheridan. He is greeted like a hero. A celebrity. Despite | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
his recent spell in prison. Something that on stage she is happy | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
to joke about. We're not exactly in shackles and jeans, we are not in | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
prison, we are not even in handcuffs. Mac and I know a thing or | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
two about being in handcuffs. This is his 71st public meeting. He hopes | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
to do 100 before the 18th of September. Since 19 51 -- 1951 we | :13:27. | :13:36. | |
have not bought it for Tory Government, but since 1951 our | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
country has had to endure a 35 years of Tory government. But this | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
firebrand socialist has proved to be divisive. Some people might not be | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
my greatest fans, that is fine, we can still agree for the need for a | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
Yes vote, but disagree about other things. He is very high profile, | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
perhaps not always for the right reasons, but there is no denying his | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
passion and his belief in what he is saying. It came from there, but more | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
than that, it came right from here. It is a different class. From the | :14:19. | :14:30. | |
men in suits. When you knock on doors, people are not interested in | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
men in suits, they want to see this. It was a chorus of approval for him. | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
He denied he was preaching to the converted, but there is no denying | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
that he can still command a room. Tomorrow we will be hearing from | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
George Galloway, who has been campaigning to keep the union. | :14:53. | :15:06. | |
Yes, even by recent standards in Scotland, this has been a quiet | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
In some respects, the biggest story has been about this man, | :15:09. | :15:25. | |
Stefan Styepovic, a Serbian striker who performed a late U-turn having | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
Now reports have emerged in Spain that his favoured move to Getafe has | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
failed to materialise and that he may again be prepared to consider | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
I know Celtic were unhappy with the way events unfolded last night, | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
but that's one to keep an eye on over the next few hours. | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
Celtic fans are certainly keen to see some deadline-day activity, | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
but what they don't want is Virgil van Dijk to leave. | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
The Dutch defender has attracted interest throughout the summer, | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
with Southampton and Sunderland credited with particular interest. | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
He was left out of the squad for yesterday's match | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
against Dundee, but as things stand, the Dutchman is still a Celtic | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
player and, barring a remarkable late offer, will still be tomorrow. | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
Now, the biggest transfer fee involving a Scottish football player | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
today is likely to come, unsurprisingly, in England. | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
The former Hamilton Accies midfielder James McArthur is | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
in talks with Crystal Palace after Wigan accepted an offer | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
The good news for Accies if that one goes through is that they stand to | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
make about ?500,000 as part of a sell-on clause in his contract. | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
Back to the Scottish Premiership then, and a couple | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
Partick Thistle have signed the former Liverpool striker | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
Nathan Eccleston, and Michael Gardyne has joined Ross | :16:41. | :16:41. | |
Keep an eye on the BBC Sport website for any late deals being done. | :16:42. | :16:54. | |
Now, it's all about qualifying for the big events. | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
Here's the latest news on Scots from the worlds of football and golf. | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
Scotland are looking for success against World Cup Winners Germany in | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
The squad gathered today ahead of Sundays game. | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
Assistant boss Mark McGhee says they must not be intimidated by | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
I do not think there are any weaknesses. I think that there are | :17:15. | :17:28. | |
opportunities, things that we do that we feel that we can apply. At | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
some point in the game, we will have the ball. It is what we do with it | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
then. He came desperately close, | :17:38. | :17:38. | |
but Stephen Gallacher just missed automatic selection for the | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
European Ryder Cup team. He needed a first, second, | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
or tied-for-second spot He'll find out tomorrow if he's one | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
of Paul McGinley's wildcard picks. To come down to the last hole, it | :17:45. | :18:03. | |
was a tall order to start with. The guys were quite a lot ahead of me. I | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
nearly did it, but there is nothing more I can do. | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
And for all the build-up to the Ryder Cup team announcement, | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
all the latest transfer news till the deadline passes tonight, | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
and so much more, check out the BBC Sport Scotland website. | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
Now, Andy Murray faces a very stiff encounter tonight, | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
as he will try to book his place in the quarter-finals of the US Open. | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
Murray is ranked eighth for the event, and is taking on | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
The Scot lost their last encounter at the Toronto | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
Kheredine Idessane has this report from Flushing Meadows. | :18:31. | :18:42. | |
The world's test tennis players are pretty much still here as we look | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
forward to what she'd be a fascinating second week here at the | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
U.S. Open. Andy Murray kicked things up against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Andy | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
Murray said that he will have to step up a level against the talented | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
Frenchman. He is an exciting player to watch, he is very explosive | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
around the court and generates a lot of power, big serve. Basically what | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
you need to do against him is neutralised that. Of course Andy | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
Murray is now coached by a French woman, Amelie Mauresmo. So for those | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga make of his compatriot being in the opposite | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
camp? She is great, she will be a good coach, she is a good human | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
being. A good relationship. It will be sad to have her on the other | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
court will stop it is only natural that things will get a lot more | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
difficult. Andy Murray may have to get past the world number one Novak | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
Djokovic, and Roger Federer. First of all it is Jo-Wilfried Tsonga | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
tonight at around 8pm UK time. That's it, | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
but lots of tennis and transfer news Before the weather, | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
here's Sarah Smith with news I will be talking to the Better | :20:05. | :20:18. | |
Together leader Alistair Darling, about whether the Scottish NHS would | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
be safe after a No vote. Why do people think he is bluffing about a | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
currency union in the event of a Yes vote? And should she be running a | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
more positive campaign? Find out tonight. | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
Time for the weather. Find conditions for most, and | :20:36. | :20:49. | |
certainly this evening it stays dry. One or two exceptions. I will show | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
you what I mean. Some strong winds and thicker cloud. The chance of | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
some heavy drizzle at times. In the countryside, temperatures down to | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
six or seven Celsius. But in the towns, temperatures milder. Notice | :21:05. | :21:15. | |
