Stephanie is being treated in hospital in Edinburgh

Stephanie Inglis' parents, relieved to have brought her back home to

Scotland. She is stable. They have run a lot of tests and she is in

quarantine, coming from Asia, they have to make sure she's got no

disease or whatever, so we're waiting for the results of the

tests. She's quite sleepy and has been sedated. They say the past

month has been an absolute nightmare. We were scared to go to

seat. You are scared to wake up or do anything. It is just living in

fear, I've never felt the like this in my life. And then when you see

your daughter lying there, in fact, at one point, I had her hand and I

was kissing her hand and feet, and saying, "Come on, Stephanie, come

on", because he was a desperate. Representing Scotland, Stephanie

Inglis! The 27-year-old originally from the Inverness won silver at the

Commonwealth Games two years ago in Glasgow. Obviously, everyone is

delighted that she is back home, on Scottish soil. The fight she has

shown throughout this ordeal has been a testament to the Stephanie

Williams land love here and there is, hopefully she can just continue

in the same vein. -- we know and love. Stephanie had been teaching

children in Vietnam, one morning last month, her clothing caught in a

wheel of the motorbike taxi taking her to work and she sustained

serious head injuries. Doctors gave her a slim chance of survival. Her

insurance was still in date but not valid so friends set up an online

fundraising campaign to pave her care. Never by your insurance from

the Internet, ever. Go to the broker and say what you want, what you are

doing and where you are going and get them to sort it for you.

Stephanie was flown back into Scotland yesterday and is now being

treated at Edinburgh's Western General Hospital in a specialist

unit, having woken from a medically induced coma last week. I just can't

say thank you enough, from my wife and I and our family. I just can't

say thank you enough. and I and our family. I just can't

Scotland has surpassed its target on greenhouse gas emissions

The government set a goal to reduce emissions by 42% by 2020.

Figures published today show that it went beyond that

It was that a community hydro project that the new Environment

Secretary announced the news that Scotland is ahead of the game on

climate change. Figures out today are for greenhouse gas emissions

from 2014. After four years of failing to meet annual targets, they

showed things are moving in the right direction. What it is really

down to is concerted effort right across the board. We have reduced

emissions in every sector in Scotland. That is beginning to

really reflect itself in the Scotland. That is beginning to

figures. The base level for targets in Scotland was set in 1990. So far,

most of the improvements have come from a reduction in power stations

or big industry across Europe. And from a switch to renewable energy.

Scotland is also doing well when it comes to managing our waste. But

this, say environmental groups, is where the problem lies. There's been

very little change in the emissions from transport since 1990, when the

benchmark was set, whether that is land, sea or in the skies. It is a

similar picture when it comes to how we heat and insulates our homes.

There is concerned there is no bold government policy. Government has

blamed cold winters for missing targets because people put the

heating on. This time, they are saying we have met the targets

because we have had quite a warm winter and people have not put their

heating on. What we need to do is have policies that even that out.

The Greens say road traffic is back to where it was in 2007, with

emissions from aviation doubling its impact. At the moment, for many

people in Scotland, a private car is the main way of getting around and

unless we get those long-term investment in infrastructure, we're

not going to see carbon emissions reducing in Scotland. The government

would not be drawn on specifics but says it is committed to more

ambitious and tougher targets as it continues to tackle climate change.

A minute's silence has been held at Holyrood in memory of those

Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

People are also gathering Riverdale in Dundee's city Square this

evening. The rainbow of parties at Holyrood,

government and opposition, rarely stand together. Join me now in

offering a minute's silence to offer our respects to the people of

America. But they did today. The silence, followed by concern

over hate crimes recorded in Scotland, and renewed commitment to

action. I think we should all take the opportunity today to reaffirm

the kind of country and indeed, the kind of world we are determined to

live in, one where hate or hate crime, whether on the basis of race,

faith, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, will

simply not be tolerated. From all sides, sympathy and solidarity. In

Glasgow, London and cities across the world, we stood in solidarity

with Orlando last night and this Parliament stands in solidarity

again today. We have stood here too often in recent years, as such

extreme hate has shocked us all. This MSP said Scottish Muslims had

condemned the attack. They are saying loudly and peacefully, "Not

in our name". We will not allow your intolerance, we will not allow your

mindlessness, we will not allow your heartlessness to divide us or

indeed, to define us. Some struggled for words. I have only ever felt

joy, seeing the rainbow flag on occasion flown from the city

Chambers and I can't quite express how it felt to see it at half-mast.

Others said the struggle for equality must intensify. So let's

use this to accelerate those programmes so we can send the

strongest possible signal to these haters and terrorists, that we will

not be intimidated. Away from Holyrood, colourful tributes across

Scotland. In a show of support, the United States consulate said was

much appreciated. Glenn Campbell, Reporting Scotland.

A group of 50 deaf people from across Scotland have

organised their own search for a missing mother of four.

Kirsty Aitchison - who's deaf - disappeared after a night out

She hasn't been since the early hours of Sunday morning.

Huw Williams' report is signed for deaf viewers.

Kirsty Aitchison, dressed up for a night out in Glasgow, the last time

her friends and family saw her. And this is the last time anyone is

known to have seen Kirsty, captured on CCTV, walking through the city

centre at 3:15am on Sunday. Friends from the deaf community across

Scotland gathered this afternoon to from the deaf community across

search waste ground near Kirsty's home at Robroyston. They say her

disappearance is totally out of character. She is the kind of person

who would go straight home from a party. She would never go out or

wander around like that, she would always inform someone of where she

was going, it is not her character at all. Police Scotland have taken

the unusual step of releasing an appeal for information in British

sign language, the language Kirsty uses because of her deafness. Today,

they renewed that appeal. We have dedicated resources in place to

assist with the British sign language. If someone from the deaf

community has information they feel would be of assistance to the

enquiry, that information can still be brought to the police. Kirsty's

friends say they are desperate for anyone who knows anything and four

Kirsty herself to come forward. We want Kirsty to come home safe and

well. She has four children and they need her. They are missing their

money. It is important for her to come home safe and well. She comes

from a closed deaf community and we want, all that we ask for is to

please come home. Police Scotland have set up a dedicated e-mail

address for anyone who thinks they can help the enquiry. Huw Williams,

reporting Scotland, Glasgow. There's just over a week to go

until the EU referendum vote and tonight we're focusing on two

key areas of debate, European integration was established

after World War II, but does it Let's cross to our political editor

Brian Taylor, who's close Brian?

Indeed, you can see the dockyard behind me there, and you can

probably see the outline of one of the two giant carriers, being fitted

out for the Royal Navy. Defence and security really matter here, 4500

jobs depend on it at the yard. But defence and security matter

throughout the whole of the EU and they matter in this referendum and

you know what? They have mattered they matter in this referendum and

since the very origins of the European Union.

World interest focuses on Paris as six European nations including

western Germany meet their first working session on the Schuman plan

for pooling steel and coal. From that coal and steel community in

1950 grew today's European Union. From the outset, this was about

security strategy as well as a common market. Much of Europe had

security strategy as well as a been devastated by war. Here in

hamburg, and here, much closer to home in Clydebank. The early

advocates of European integration believed nations would not go to war

if their economies were closely entwined. Today's Europe faces

different challenges. Terror attacks in Paris and Brussels provoke

sympathy and solidarity here but also demands for action. EU states

sharing intelligence and operate a common arrest warrant. Migrant

convoys in the Mediterranean are policed partly by the EU. One of 30

peace missions undertaken since 2003. But even the secret

intelligence services, MI6 is divided. One former head said

Britain's border controls would be strengthened by leaving the EU.

Another said leaving would hamper security because vital information

and cooperation would be lost. Some security because vital information

say the terror threat requires greater EU defence collaboration.

Others say it is best left with Nato. It seems one thing has not

changed since 1950. But Britain, notable absentee, has not yet made

up her mind. Of course, Britain has to make up

her mind in the next few days as we lead up to that referendum on the

23rd of June. I'm joined by two who are doing on each side of the debate

in the question of defence and security, Braden Davie, first, on

the point of defence, you are arguing for Vote Leave but you also

a naval reservist. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon says no one more

sceptical than him about the European Union but he believes that

leaving would undermine the Western alliance. And Penny mordant, UK

defence minister, also argues that we should leave the EU for that

reason. Inside the EU, we don't have control of our borders and we can't

decide who can and cannot live here. There's a threat going forward over

Jean-Claude Juncker's plans for a common European army and EU

procurement law which added hundreds of cost of the aircraft carries

behind me. What do you make of that? It's important first to acknowledge

the lessons of history and we have peace among European states because

of the steps we have taken towards the European Union. At the moment,

being in the European Union and being in Nato are not mutually

exclusive. Nato is on the record, the general secretary wants the EU

to remain together. There's also the fact that people like President

Obama and Hillary Clinton are saying exactly the same. It is not a

mutually exclusive thing. Are they all wrong? Nato are backing Britain

to remain. You don't have to be in the new macro to have security and

the EU undermines security by trying to replicate a lot of Nato

structures and we don't have control of our borders. Inside the EU,

anyone with European passport can of our borders. Inside the EU,

come into the UK for whatever reason. People in Cyprus have been

selling passports... Leaving puts Europe in peril. To go on to the

issue you have raised about borders, we still have control of our

borders. It is a UK decision... Immigration is another thing. Let's

go straight to that since you ranged it, you were the director of

intelligence with Strathclyde Police and coordinated counterterrorism

activities for police across Scotland. Do you not accept the

argument advanced by Vote Leave that if Britain had full control of her

borders, it would be better at if Britain had full control of her

fighting terrorism? We do have border control, we have not really

wished it to the European Union, it is something different to free

travel. We have information sharing. We share data on people and we can

share DNA and fingerprints. All that information sharing is a very

powerful thing that we can do. Would that be lost? It's complete

scaremongering to vacate European allies would not tell us if a

crewman was coming to the UK. Which one of our European allies would not

share that information? If we leave the EU, we would have control of our

borders. What is your experience in this field? Mikes period is that

rate things have come from the European arrest warrant and

information sharing. They have European arrest warrant and

combated series organised crime and terrorism, rapists... How about

that? The issue of rapists and criminals, at the minute, we can't

reject someone who is a criminal and they hold the European passport. If

we take back control of the borders, we are in a much safer position to

control and white... We also sent our own hooligans abroad and

criminals abroad, so let's not have the pot calling the kettle black.

There's a balance somewhere and working in Europe, we have a lot of

intelligence sharing that works to the great benefit and safety and

security of this country. It would continue to happen if we leave but

we would also have our borders. Thank you for joining us. Back to

the studio. Andy Murray has opened his

grass court season - and it's under the guidance

of Ivan Lendl, the man who led him to Olympic,

US Open and Wimbledon titles. Jonathan Sutherland can tell us if

it has been a happy reunion so far. Back in the picture for Andy Murray,

his old coach, Ivan Lendl, back on board for the start of the grass

court season. Ivan Lendl was married's coach when Wimbledon was

conquered in 2013. Queen's Club is the traditional Wimbledon

preparation route and Murray is looking for a record fifth victory

at the tournament. He started it off with his opening match against

Nicolas Mahut of France in fine style. But like the weather,

married's form was suddenly changeable, Nicolas Mahut with an

early break of serve. -- married's form. Fine instincts from a hood.

Only for Murray to immediately quell the French resistance, fighting back

and parity regained. 6-6 in the first set, tie-break time. The grass

taking some getting used to. After a few close calls, it was Murray who

saw it out. But after his exploits on the continental plate, mastering

the green grass of England may take Murray a little time. -- continental

plate. Mahut with another break to take control of the second set.

Great final point. Andy Murray may well be on for longer than he hoped,

he is 5-3 down in the second. Now to a first for Scottish

motorsport and it's 20,000 spectators are expected

to turn up for a weekend of thrilling racing,

and perhaps to cheer for the only This little beauty has a 250

horsepower engine and is capable of travelling up to 70 mph but this is

as close as I will be coming to driving it because I can't get the

insurance! Never mind. Not a problem for the Scottish group taking part

in the first ever Scottish Grand Prix of the sea. You have to control

the boat and look at the conditions and the other boats. These boats are

quite prone to throwing people out of them if you get the conditions of

the Sea wrong or handle the boat the wrong way. What is the main skill of

the navigator? Clear communication, a good eye for looking out and

keeping an eye on the technical things in the boat. And it will be

plenty happening in the boat on the Clyde this weekend. It is great to

come to this lovely setting with the hills in the background and the

Esplanade, it will be a great platform for viewing, to get close

to the action. We are hoping for something like 20,000 spectators

across the two days. Describe what it's like on the water. Very fast,

it happens very quickly and there is it's like on the water. Very fast,

close contact. We do 20 laps and the course is about two miles. We are

out for about 20 minutes three races on a Saturday and three on Sunday.

Maybe some of us are not ready for that level of excitement just yet.

Wait, it's moving! Help! Staying with speed and skill

on the water, a Dumfries man has been crowned the first

European Flyboarding Champion. 24-year-old Sonnie Bean -

filmed here last year - took the title in the south of

faint-hearted! Thank you. A new choral work -

inspired by the fire which damaged Glasgow School of Art -

is to raise funds Light Through Tall Windows

was recorded yesterday in the Mackintosh Library

by the Glasgow School of Art choir. Our arts correspondent

Pauline McLean was there. Two years after the fire which

devastated Glasgow School of Art, the sound of hope. The song they are

singing, written especially for those who have studied here before

and who will study here again when the library is restored. This is not

about the library, it is about coming to an art school, opening

yourself to new ideas and enlightenment. The choir, formed

four years ago, has sung at some momentous occasions including the

opening of the Reed building just a month before the fire and is

performed inside the library is an important milestone. It is a more

solemn moment but equally if not more important as raising money for

the Mackintosh campus appeal which we have fought phenomenal results

and it is a different feeling. But GSA is a family and a family goes

through good and bad times and we are in it together. With the

performance record for release next year with proceeds going to the

appeal, it is even more of the moment. It is one of the most

exciting things we have done, it is really moving and incredible to have

exciting things we have done, it is been given permission to do it. It

was a pipe dream to begin with to do it in the library at after six month

in planning, to get to do it, I can't believe we have managed to fit

into the Restoration schedule! If all goes to plan, the choir will

be singing in the space again in three years' time when the restored

building reopens. Hard hats not required.

Time for the weather outlook now - and Christopher is here

There was some sunshine around with the cloud streaming in from the East

followed by some outbreaks of rain but look at this photo sent in

earlier. The airport on the beach in but look at this photo sent in

Barra. But tonight the cloud arrives along with the rain for some. It

slowly dress south overnight but a mild night, ten or 11 but quite

murky around the North Sea coast. Breezy in the north-west with the

winds whipping around that low pressure which is still with us

tomorrow. More cloud and rain and that slowly wet weather edging

southwards towards Glasgow and Edinburgh and perhaps further south

by the end of the afternoon. In the south-west, some sunshine which

could spark some hefty showers in South Ayrshire and towards Galloway

and they could be thundery. The many it is cloudy with outbreaks of rain

and still a bit murky on the coast. In the north-west, the driest area

with not quite the sunshine of today and fresh and occasionally strong

winds from the north-east. The thundery downpours clear in the

evening but most will still be damp and cloudy. Similar on Thursday,

some outbreaks of rain, not as heavy but still persistent and

temperatures in mid or high teens. Heading to the weekend, the low

finally clears with a ridge of high pressure building for the weekend

which will settle things down. Friday, still wet in the far north

and north Wiest, elsewhere cloudy but reasonably dry with winds from

the north and on Saturday, the low clears and there will be some

sunshine for most -- north and North East. By Sunday, the rain returns.

Until then, from everyone on the team - right

across the country - have a very good evening.
