BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00.:00:07.

Maritime patrol aircraft will once again be based

:00:08.:00:10.

in Scotland, five years after the Nimrod fleet was scrapped.

:00:11.:00:12.

But the UK Government says fewer new warships will be built on the Clyde.

:00:13.:00:16.

Also on the programme: SNP MP Natalie McGarry is being

:00:17.:00:24.

investigated over financial discrepancies at the campaign group

Uncovering a century's worth of history which had wounded Great War

heroes. What do you think

:00:44.:00:43.

about that new Scotland strip? If a guy can carry off pink and

:00:44.:00:54.

where it could, would be scared. The pink one? It's quite nice, you know.

:00:55.:00:59.

I would wear it for football. Would you wear it on a night out? LAUGHTER

:01:00.:01:14.

There's mixed news for Scotland in the UK Government's Defence Review.

:01:15.:01:18.

The Prime Minister has announced that nine new maritime patrol

:01:19.:01:20.

aircraft will be based at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray.

:01:21.:01:24.

But the SNP has criticised an apparent reduction

:01:25.:01:26.

in the number of Type 26 warships due to be built on the Clyde.

:01:27.:01:31.

In a moment, we'll have a report from Lossiemouth with reaction

:01:32.:01:34.

from the community there, but first from Westminster

:01:35.:01:36.

Immense speed and strength and safety and all the world knows it.

:01:37.:01:54.

It was once the proud shipbuilding capital of the world. At its peak at

:01:55.:01:58.

the beginning of the last century, Glasgow's yards have now reduced in

:01:59.:02:05.

size. But they are still a mainstay of Scotland significant parts of the

:02:06.:02:09.

two new aircraft carriers being assembled were fashioned on the

:02:10.:02:15.

Clyde. But, just how much future work can the yards expect? At the

:02:16.:02:20.

moment, these ships only exist on a computer animation. But, ministers

:02:21.:02:27.

say at Type 26 frigates will definitely be built on the Clyde.

:02:28.:02:30.

The problem is, that's not as many as some had first thought or had

:02:31.:02:36.

hoped for. Voters in Scotland were promised 13 T206 vessels, just along

:02:37.:02:42.

with people voted no in the independence referendum. It was a

:02:43.:02:46.

clear promise. It's just over one year since the referendum. And no

:02:47.:02:53.

voters or shipyard workers are being betrayed with a 40% cut. The Prime

:02:54.:02:58.

Minister insists Scotland is doing well out of this review. The fact

:02:59.:03:03.

is, Scotland now has the opportunity to build more than 13 frigates.

:03:04.:03:08.

Because of the changes that we are making. There will be at the Type

:03:09.:03:14.

26s and at least another five of the new type of frigates, probably more.

:03:15.:03:18.

And they can be built in Scotland, if the conditions are right. For

:03:19.:03:23.

Labour, there are also concerns about how things will work in

:03:24.:03:27.

practice. Can you promise to confirm, as he was talking just now,

:03:28.:03:32.

that the reduction in the number of Type 26 frigates we are producing

:03:33.:03:36.

from 13 to eight will not impact on the Navy's ability to protect the

:03:37.:03:41.

carriers? Can the Prime Minister gives them reassurance to workers on

:03:42.:03:45.

the Clyde? Last year they were told 13 ships were being built, now it is

:03:46.:03:49.

at Foster also revealed, a rise in the cost of replacing the Trident

:03:50.:03:56.

nuclear submarines. The bill has now been put at ?31 billion. ?6 billion

:03:57.:04:01.

more than previous estimates. That will only increase the temperature

:04:02.:04:03.

of that political controversy. The decision to reinstate

:04:04.:04:07.

the fleet of maritime patrol aircraft comes just five years

:04:08.:04:10.

after the scrapping of the Nimrods Our reporter Craig Anderson has been

:04:11.:04:12.

to Lossiemouth, where they'll based, to find out what impact the decision

:04:13.:04:18.

might have on the Moray community. Nine Poseidon Maritime patrol

:04:19.:04:32.

aircraft will be based here at Lossiemouth and which ever way you

:04:33.:04:36.

look at it, that is an astonishing turnaround for a government which

:04:37.:04:39.

five years ago decided it didn't need specialist aircraft of this

:04:40.:04:42.

type. The decision to scrap the new Nimrod fleet before any of the

:04:43.:04:46.

planes had flown in anger was taken with the project years late and

:04:47.:04:50.

hundreds of millions of pounds over budget and its sound of pounds over

:04:51.:04:53.

budget and it sounded just some miles from Lossiemouth. Today's

:04:54.:04:58.

U-turn has delighted local politicians. In some ways it is

:04:59.:05:02.

regrettable it has taken this long to realise that we need to have

:05:03.:05:07.

replacement for Nimrod. And I am glad that that realisation has

:05:08.:05:12.

percolated. I am delighted that they are coming back here. We had an

:05:13.:05:17.

ideal base for them that is now used by the engineers, but we will take

:05:18.:05:21.

them to Lossiemouth, where they are going. With no maritime patrol

:05:22.:05:25.

aircraft to its name, Britain has had to rely on Nato allies like

:05:26.:05:29.

France and Canada. Even with in recent days, to send out claims to

INAUDIBLE They will use up the houses the

Arias have got already. As an island nation it is a good idea. It will be

:05:59.:06:02.

good for Moray. Introducing rescue services, we could probably do it.

:06:03.:06:07.

They have taken enough away, give something back. We can guarantee

:06:08.:06:10.

that Lossiemouth will continue to exist, it is good. The UK will buy

:06:11.:06:16.

the new planes from blowing in the United States, but we don't know the

presumably more jobs and an economic boost outside the wire. The decision

has been warmly welcomed here in Moray.

bit like a curate it reinforces the old adage that

:07:01.:07:08.

defence is big in Scotland and Scotland is big for defence. As

:07:09.:07:13.

regards, the aircraft is going to Moray, most people will be very

:07:14.:07:16.

pleased and they will see it as writing

:07:17.:07:19.

pleased and they will see it as the 2010 Defence Review when the

Nimrods aircraft were scrapped and moved to nearby Kinloss. The yards,

there will be some relief that they will hope for more in the future.

:07:33.:07:35.

The SNP says there should have been far more. The workers on the Clyde

:07:36.:07:38.

and people of Scotland far more. The workers on the Clyde

:07:39.:07:42.

betrayed. That is what they say. This is as much about politics as it

:07:43.:07:44.

is about pure defence procurement. An SNP MP has been named

:07:45.:07:47.

as the person being investigated by police over financial

:07:48.:07:49.

discrepancies from a campaign fund Natalie McGarry's lawyer says she is

:07:50.:07:52.

confident there is no wrongdoing on her part and is prepared to meet

:07:53.:07:57.

with police. Our reporter Catriona Renton is

:07:58.:08:00.

in the newsroom now. What's

:08:01.:08:04.

the background to this, Catriona? She was one

:08:05.:08:14.

of the founder members of Women for Independence, a group founded in

:08:15.:08:21.

2012 by a group of activists with the intention of promoting women's

:08:22.:08:24.

voices in the referendum debate. Concerns were first raised

:08:25.:08:29.

during the summer that there were discrepencies

:08:30.:08:34.

in the organisations accounts. The group's national committee,

:08:35.:08:36.

on which McGarry sits, was informed of this at a meeting

:08:37.:08:38.

on Sunday afternoon. In a statement issued this morning

:08:39.:08:41.

the organisation said: "Women for Independence said for

You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.

Still to come on tonight's programme:

:10:11.:10:12.

Why staff at this ice cream shop are taking

:10:13.:10:15.

In sport, Andy Murray and Team GB have arrived in Belgium,

:10:16.:10:22.

Davis Cup organisers say they have a close eye on security.

:10:23.:10:25.

Eilish McColgan on fighting injury, and losing her funding!

:10:26.:10:31.

But the McColgan spirit drives her on for Rio.

:10:32.:10:41.

Hidden archives and artifacts, unearthed at a servicemen's hospital

:10:42.:10:45.

near Glasgow are shedding new light on how First World War veterans were

:10:46.:10:48.

The hoard of documents, mementos and pictures was only

:10:49.:10:53.

uncovered at the Erskine Hospital when staff started exploring

:10:54.:10:55.

The old Princess Louise Hospital for limbless sailors and soldiers opened

:10:56.:11:11.

in 1916. It evolved into the Erskine Hospital looking after amputees and

:11:12.:11:13.

inventing and manufacturing prosthetic limbs using the skills

:11:14.:11:18.

honed in the shipyards at the Clyde and the manpower of the

:11:19.:11:21.

ex-servicemen themselves. When the hospital moved into a more modern

:11:22.:11:25.

building, anything which wasn't needed was boxed up and forgotten.

:11:26.:11:29.

For decades, it remained locked away in the room and stashed away under

:11:30.:11:34.

the floorboards until this man kicked the door down. We were

:11:35.:11:36.

looking for memorabilia across the whole estate and we came to this

:11:37.:11:39.

building which was flat in the 1950s. This tour was locked and we

:11:40.:11:43.

couldn't find a key so I broke down the door. -- this door. The

:11:44.:11:49.

extensive award wasn't just in the locked room. This is a tale of

:11:50.:11:52.

treasure found. Under the floorboards were found documents and

:11:53.:11:57.

artefacts that were diaries, medals, all sorts of things. Sorting through

:11:58.:12:01.

will still take time, but it is already starting to shed new light

:12:02.:12:08.

on the origins Erskine Hospital. Experts on the University of them

:12:09.:12:10.

have sifted through the collection to learn what they can about what

:12:11.:12:13.

life was like at the hospital. I'm very interested in Erskine

:12:14.:12:19.

Hospital's ground-breaking work on healing the body and the mind. Some

:12:20.:12:24.

of those papers will shed new light on what the philosophy was from the

:12:25.:12:29.

outset and what so Willie McEwan, the founder, had in mind when he put

:12:30.:12:31.

together this incredible institution. The findings can soon

:12:32.:12:34.

be viewed online and exhibitions are planned for next year. The charity

:12:35.:12:39.

which took over the hospital's work may also auction off some of the

:12:40.:12:42.

found items but the surprise discovery is already giving a rare

:12:43.:12:46.

insight into life here, 100 years ago.

:12:47.:12:51.

A look at other stories from across the country:

:12:52.:12:56.

Police are continuing a search around a Glasgow music venue after

:12:57.:13:01.

reports of gunfire on Saturday night. Loud bangs were heard, just

:13:02.:13:06.

before 10pm. A team investigated the scene and enquiries are continuing.

:13:07.:13:11.

The wave energy company aquamarine power has been forced to stop

:13:12.:13:14.

trading after it failed to find a buyer, despite talks with a number

:13:15.:13:18.

of interested parties. The Edinburgh-based company called in

:13:19.:13:22.

administrators at the end of October. A grant of ?1 million has

:13:23.:13:26.

been awarded to the Ferguson shipyard on the Clyde. From Scottish

:13:27.:13:30.

enterprise, it will fund 100 jobs and safeguard existing 150 posts. It

:13:46.:13:48.

wherever we can. The beauty of the announcement is that it will support

:13:49.:13:51.

employment growth at Featherstone. The creation of new jobs and many

:13:52.:13:55.

apprenticeships. Great opportunities for the young people of this area.

:13:56.:14:01.

People in Applecross are celebrating after reaching their investment

:14:16.:14:18.

upgrade on Britain's highest mountain gets underway this week.

:14:19.:14:23.

The project to stabilise and approve over three kilometres of the Ben

:14:24.:14:27.

Nevis mountain path, is part of a ?1 million project led by net this

:14:28.:14:32.

:14:36.:14:39.

Can reading for just six minutes during

:14:40.:14:41.

So say the organisers of Scotland's Book Week who're are calling

:14:42.:14:45.

on businesses to set up special reading spaces for their staff.

:14:46.:14:47.

Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean has been to

:14:48.:14:49.

an ice cream parlour where they're taking up the challenge.

:14:50.:14:54.

From the heat of the kitchen, to the chill of the factory floor.

:14:55.:15:02.

From the heat of the kitchen, to the ice-cream business is a place of

:15:03.:15:05.

contrasts. But when it cops to chilling out, staff are united about

:15:06.:15:10.

the best way. We want our staff to be happy and motivated. We find if

:15:11.:15:15.

we can give staff time to get away from the hustle and bustle of the

:15:16.:15:20.

factory and the shop, it gives them a nice space to sit, relax and enjoy

:15:21.:15:28.

a book. So they have set up a reading space and the Scottish book

:15:29.:15:36.

trust want others to follow suit. It redresses stress by huge amounts,

:15:37.:15:41.

over 60%, just a short time reading, I is great for your social skills

:15:42.:15:48.

and thinking and great fun. People love great stories. Staff here don't

:15:49.:15:53.

need much convincing about the power of reading. Normally if you go for

:15:54.:15:56.

your break you have to make do if of reading. Normally if you go for

:15:57.:16:03.

you can find a seat and there is other people there and there is no

:16:04.:16:04.

place to go and just sit other people there and there is no

:16:05.:16:09.

and read a book. It is nice to escape from it all for even 15

:16:10.:16:13.

minutes. Anything that gives people that sort of first spark is a good

:16:14.:16:21.

thing. There is so much of the time you spend just, I will just put the

:16:22.:16:26.

telly on, watch a film, books make you think and make you do the

:16:27.:16:32.

building of the picture yors. -- yourself. So reading isn't just a

:16:33.:16:38.

treat, it is good for you and recommended every day of the week.

:16:39.:16:44.

Let's get the latest sports news from Rhona.

:16:45.:16:47.

Amidst the tightest possible security, Andy Murray and Team GB

:16:48.:16:51.

have arrived in Ghent for Friday's Davis Cup Final against Belgium.

:16:52.:16:54.

Brussels is on the highest level of alert over fears

:16:55.:16:59.

of a Paris-style terrorist attack - although the rest of Belgium is

:17:00.:17:01.

Both tennis authorities and fans travelling from Scotland, are

:17:02.:17:05.

When Team dpchlt B qualified, the mood was one of tell bracing.

:17:06.:17:21.

When Team dpchlt B qualified, the celebration. But now schools and

:17:22.:17:25.

When Team dpchlt B qualified, the metro are closed in the nation's

:17:26.:17:29.

capital and the police patrol the streets. The event will go ahead as

:17:30.:17:36.

planned. But it will be monitored. The British Davis

:17:37.:17:37.

planned. But it will be monitored. a day later than planned and they

:17:38.:17:43.

have avoided Brussels airport, landing at Flanders. Most fans will

:17:44.:17:49.

arrive at Brussels at the airport or train station and make the journey

:17:50.:17:52.

to the north-west and some will fly train station and make the journey

:17:53.:17:58.

to the south before driving to Ghent. For the moment, preparations

:17:59.:18:04.

continue for the supporters, but the group of student fans have made some

:18:05.:18:09.

changes to their plans. Initially we had planned to travel and stay in

:18:10.:18:13.

Brussels for the night. But we have changed our plans over the weekend

:18:14.:18:16.

as a result of the information that we have taken on board. But we are

:18:17.:18:20.

hopeful that things remain safe as they are at the moment in Ghent and

:18:21.:18:26.

everything goes off as planned. But others have decided against travel.

:18:27.:18:30.

Including the former British No 1 Tim Henman. He said he has cancelled

:18:31.:18:41.

plans to attend. The barmy army are following up dates. We have to trust

:18:42.:18:44.

the authorities know better than anyone as to how safe it is. I would

:18:45.:18:49.

hope that if the event does go ahead, it is because they're sure

:18:50.:18:52.

there is nothing to be concerned about.

:18:53.:18:55.

The Scottish middle distance runner Eilish McColgan says more

:18:56.:18:57.

support should be given to athletes who're coming back from injury.

:18:58.:18:59.

McColgan competed at London 2012 and last year's Commonwealth Games,

:19:00.:19:02.

but has been out injured for the last 10 months.

:19:03.:19:05.

As a result, the daughter of the former world

:19:06.:19:08.

champion Liz McColgan, has lost her British Athletics funding.

:19:09.:19:10.

Ten months on from breaking her ankle and Eilish McColgan is back on

:19:11.:19:30.

the track. But it is not any old track. This is where it started for

:19:31.:19:38.

the 25-year-old in Dundee. A lot of fitness has been lost over the ten

:19:39.:19:42.

months, but I still love the sport and that is what I want to do. I'm

:19:43.:19:47.

excited by it. It is an exciting prospect to be almost starting at

:19:48.:19:54.

the bottom. After numerous attempts to allow the injury to heal

:19:55.:19:58.

naturally, she had surgely five months ago. -- surgery five months

:19:59.:20:08.

ago. It feels good. Eilish McColgan being cheered on... And she is

:20:09.:20:12.

determined to get back to form, even if it means making changes. I want

:20:13.:20:17.

to make the Olympics and if that means not running my desired event I

:20:18.:20:22.

will do it. But it will take a lot of hard work and a long slog to get

:20:23.:20:26.

to that point. But I'm sure, if I make the team, it will be worth it

:20:27.:20:31.

in the end. If not, I have tried everything I could. If she is there,

:20:32.:20:37.

she will have done it without help from UK Athletic lettics. When

:20:38.:20:44.
