Our environment correspondent, David Miller, reports. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Beavers have been reintroduced here as part of an official trial, | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
but there is another beaver population in Scotland, | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Four years ago the Scottish Government scrapped plans to trap | :00:38. | :00:40. | |

We now know beavers which were heavily pregnant or had | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
recently given birth are among those killed, | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
that has led to calls for a close season on animal welfare grounds. | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
And questions have been raised about long it would have taken | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
If somebody has used a gun to shoot and the animal has moved and moved | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
out of range and the animal has been wounded, that is sad but that, | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
unfortunately, is a product of a situation where a lack | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
of action by the authorities over the years has effectively left | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
being the only ones doing the management in that area. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
The beavers are here and the Scottish Government has | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
decided to tolerate them, so it is really up to them | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
to reflect public opinion and give them some protection. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |

It was a Scots against the Serbs. They dominated pre-match. And their | :03:38. | :03:49. | |
man dominated during it, Novak Djokovic taking the first five games | :03:50. | :03:54. | |

second which he lost, being broken after getting 25- -- 5-5. Two double | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
faults lost in the tie-break and before he knew it he was facing | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
