It's time to join the BBC news teams where you are.

:00:00.:00:00.

With only one day of campaigning to go in the EU referendum both

:00:00.:00:10.

sides plead with their supporters to get out and vote.

:00:11.:00:14.

Disruption on the railways as the RMT union strikes

:00:15.:00:16.

And, it had swords, time-travel and Sir Sean -

:00:17.:00:25.

30 years on, Highlander is back in our cinemas.

:00:26.:00:45.

In the European referendum, both sides have appealed

:00:46.:00:51.

to their potential supporters to turn out when the polls

:00:52.:00:53.

Speaking in Glasgow tonight, the former Prime Minister,

:00:54.:00:58.

Gordon Brown, pleaded with working families to back Remain -

:00:59.:01:00.

warning that leaving the EU was a gamble with jobs.

:01:01.:01:03.

But the Leave campaign insist Britain's economy would prosper.

:01:04.:01:05.

This from our political editor, Brian Taylor.

:01:06.:01:12.

This was as message for all, an argument for EU co-operation and

:01:13.:01:18.

This was as message for all, an issues on climate change. It was

:01:19.:01:22.

particularly a message for anxious working families, arguing that the

:01:23.:01:26.

road to economic growth and jobs lies through Europe. If you want

:01:27.:01:32.

jobs to remain, vote Remain. If you want industries to remain, vote

:01:33.:01:33.

Remain. If you want investment to want industries to remain, vote

:01:34.:01:38.

remain, vote Remain. If you want companies to remain, vote Remain. We

:01:39.:01:42.

must get that message across to people over these next 36-hours. But

:01:43.:01:47.

in Aberdeen, Leave campaigners argued that European ruleses

:01:48.:01:51.

frustrated trade and that Britain could thrive outside the EU. I think

:01:52.:01:55.

that Leave voters are energised. We know we can affect change. I don't

:01:56.:02:00.

think the Remain argument of stick with what we've got and we don't

:02:01.:02:06.

know what the future is like in the E is resonating. We have arguments

:02:07.:02:09.

in the Leave campaign resonating with people around the country.

:02:10.:02:12.

Leave canvassers believe their campaign has the passion to get

:02:13.:02:19.

their vote out. Remain campaigners, like the First Minister, know the

:02:20.:02:24.

need to energise their supporters. With families in Edinburgh, Nicola

:02:25.:02:27.

Sturgeon warned that British exit from the EU could jeopardise women's

:02:28.:02:29.

rights. That's denied by her rivals. One day of campaigning to go,

:02:30.:02:33.

both sides urging us to vote, It's hugely important. 46 million

:02:34.:02:44.

voters registered across the whole of the UK. Nearly four million in

:02:45.:02:48.

Scotland. If you think of it this way, among those 46 million there is

:02:49.:02:52.

a majority, in terms of opinion for one side, but in terms of those who

:02:53.:02:58.

actually turn out to vote, it is the other side that holds sway. That's

:02:59.:03:02.

called differential turnout. That is what perhaps particularly the Leave

:03:03.:03:08.

side are relying upon. They believe the passion the zest is with them.

:03:09.:03:12.

Nigel Farage said his supporters would crawl over broken glass to

:03:13.:03:17.

vote to get out of the EU. The returning officers don't retire that

:03:18.:03:21.

any more as a condition for voting. This difficult reasonsal turnout

:03:22.:03:25.

question is absolutely key. How will it be won? I think what we are

:03:26.:03:32.

seeing today is people appealing to sectors, admittedly rather large

:03:33.:03:35.

sectors. The Leave vote appealing with those with an argument to take

:03:36.:03:38.

back control with regard to immigration. Gordon Brown tonight

:03:39.:03:43.

appealing to what would have been Labour strongholds, working families

:03:44.:03:47.

in Scotland. Warning them that the jobs route is through the EU. Nicola

:03:48.:03:52.

Sturgeon with an appeal to a large sectoror of women saying their

:03:53.:03:56.

rights will be jeopardised. You can seeing individual campaigners across

:03:57.:04:00.

all sides trying to energise their sector of the vote to turn out and

:04:01.:04:04.

turn out to vote their way. We'll wait and see. Brian, thank you.

:04:05.:04:15.

It's been a day of disruption for rail passengers as the first

:04:16.:04:18.

in a series of planned strikes by the RMT hit train

:04:19.:04:20.

The union's in dispute with ScotRail over the role of guards.

:04:21.:04:24.

Tonight, many commuters are trying to get home.

:04:25.:04:26.

Out on the picket line at Glasgow Queen Street this morning trying to

:04:27.:04:31.

convince commuters why the strike action would benefit them. ScotRail

:04:32.:04:33.

estimate 30% of its services were unable to runned and the frequent

:04:34.:04:37.

frequency of others was cut. Tens of thousands of passengers were

:04:38.:04:40.

affected. The RMT union says it's all about the driver operation of

:04:41.:04:44.

train doors. On long distance services there is a two-person crew

:04:45.:04:48.

of driver and guard with the guard operating the door. But on suburban

:04:49.:04:53.

services, with 59% of travellersers there is a ticket inspector, not a

:04:54.:04:59.

guard, the driver operates the door. As part of a modernisation

:05:00.:05:03.

programme, ScotRail wants more train drivers to be responsible for door

:05:04.:05:07.

operation, but the union says that's unsafe. It's all about safety on

:05:08.:05:11.

trains. They have already spotted problems. There has been a whole

:05:12.:05:17.

host, a catalogue, of incidents of driver only trains where there have

:05:18.:05:21.

been incidents where guards have not been on the trains. 15 routes were

:05:22.:05:29.

cancelled today. Commuters were forced to take replacement buses.

:05:30.:05:32.

Many passengers didn't seem to know what the strike was about. No idea.

:05:33.:05:39.

No. No. Sorry. I can't help you. I don't know actually. ScotRail say

:05:40.:05:45.

the RMT union is spreading misinformation and that safety isn't

:05:46.:05:50.

at risk. Nearly 60% of our customers, every day, on a normal

:05:51.:05:54.

day, trvl on services without a conductor. We have at no stage say

:05:55.:05:59.

we want to run train services without a second person either.

:06:00.:06:02.

Disabled passengers are concerned because guards help them on and off

the trains. Today's stoppage is just the first of several. Unless the two

:06:09.:06:12.

sides can resolve their differences, perhaps by giving some ground,

commuters will be hit again on Thursday and at the weekend and

proposition. Parts of it are outrageously ridiculous and in many

:07:51.:07:54.

places hard to watch. Parts of it are just so executive pert. You

:07:55.:08:02.

can't get more executive pert than Sean Connery delivering. He may be

the only actor who can say things and have them land and you'll

remember them forever. The same is true for the film which made little

of what is so gorge ghouls about it is the entire thing is shot?

:08:42.:08:45.

Scotland. It's the most beautiful part of the movie, as far as I'm

:08:46.:08:48.

Scotland. It's the most beautiful concerned. The most coherent part of

:08:49.:08:52.

the film. People connect with it emotionally the best. Despite its

:08:53.:08:58.

tag line - there can be only one - it seems a remake of the film could

:08:59.:09:01.

be on the cards. The original cast are happy to see it happen. I'd be

:09:02.:09:06.

much more interested in a reboot of than that than a reboot of Superman

:09:07.:09:13.

or Spider Man. I want to see something like a Highlander reboot.

:09:14.:09:16.

I don't care who they cast. I did my bit. It's time for somebody else to

:09:17.:09:19.

take a shot at it. He looks nicer with his hair on,

:09:20.:09:28.

doesn't he? In football, the managers

Falkirk. The Celtic manager was keen

:09:44.:09:44.

to stress however that it I think Aberdeen will be stronger

:09:45.:09:56.

this year, again. I think they did very well. They have signed some

:09:57.:10:05.

players, and Hearts who have signed Connor from England. The other teams

:10:06.:10:08.

will fight and make it very, very difficult.

:10:09.:10:10.

Let's get the weather forecast from Kawser.

:10:11.:10:14.

Good evening. It has been a cloudy day but brighter spells towards the

:10:15.:10:22.

east. From one of our weather watcher pictures taken across the

:10:23.:10:25.

Scottish Borders, lovely sunshine. As we head through the night it will

:10:26.:10:30.

be largely cloudy and mild out there tonight. Muggy towards the south. We

:10:40.:10:43.

Coast as well. Further towards the east some late sunshine for

:10:44.:10:47.

Aberdeenshire and the borders. Showery rain pushing eastwards

:10:48.:10:50.

across the night. For most it will be largely dry with some clear

:10:51.:10:54.

spells, perhaps for the borders and for Aberdeenshire. Temperatures

:10:55.:10:58.

dipping to only 12 of-13 degrees. A mild night in store and muggy as we

:10:59.:11:00.

higher than that, 22 degrees. There will be a risk of one or two

showers, temperatures 19-20 degrees. Cloud to Dumfries and Galloway.

:11:37.:11:40.

Wednesday, we are looking at a weather front, low pressure, that

:11:41.:11:44.

may bring outbreaks of rain later on on Thursday night. Thursday itself

:11:45.:11:47.

doesn't look too bad. We are drawing in air from the south, quite humid

:11:48.:11:52.

air. Thursday will feel much more muggier during the day, too.

:11:53.:11:56.

Temperatures could reach up to maybe 21 or 22 degrees further towards the

Temperatures could reach up to maybe east. The risk of one or two

showers. The showers could be heavy especially further towards the

north. Maybe with the risk of hail and some thunder. For the majority

:12:05.:12:09.

it will be largely dry and some decent sunshine, especially towards

:12:10.:12:12.

the south, with some light winds. That's the forecast. Thank you very

:12:13.:12:19.

much. If we have thrown you with the later time slot we will do it

:12:20.:12:23.

tomorrow. Join us tomorrow at 7.30pm. From everyone on the team,
