The convicted drug smuggler Melissa Reid has returned | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
to Scotland from Peru after being freed from jail in Lima. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The 22-year-old, who's from Lenzie near Glasgow, was expelled under | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
an early release scheme for first time drug offenders. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
She was caught with 11 kilos of cocaine in her luggage in 2013. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Just before 10pm tonight, her plane touched down at Glasgow Airport. | :00:24. | :00:35. | |
Aileen Clarke now has more on the story. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Her report contains flash photography from the start. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
The centre of media attention as she leaves Lima. | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
Out of jail through an early release scheme | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
Every step taking her closer to | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Leaving her drug smuggling sentence behind her. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
Her father, Billy, was in Peru once more but | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
this time to bring his daughter home. | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
At the family house, this'll be a much hope for homecoming. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
It is almost three years since Melissa | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
Reid was stopped at Lima airport with that consignment of cocaine. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
That is a situation that no parent wants to face. | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
And this has been a very difficult episode | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Mr Reid took part in an anti-drug smuggling film | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Laying bear the heartache of the family. | :01:26. | :01:38. | |
Events such as Christmas are nonexistent for us, | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
It was in August 2013 that his daughter was stopped with friend | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Michaella McCollum from Northern Ireland | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
with 11 kilos of cocaine in their luggage. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Hidden inside food packets, they were heading for | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
At first she protested her innocence, saying they were forced | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
to carry the drugs but they later pled guilty, and receiving a | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
sentence of six years and eight months. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Today, at home, a range of views on her early release. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Six years should be six years because all it will do is give | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
people the incentive to think, well, if I | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
can get three years, it is worth it for the risk. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
I hope she has learned her lesson and she makes | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
up to her parents for all the distress she has caused them. | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
In 1993, Sandra Gregory from Aberdeenshire was in the headlines | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
for trying to smuggle heroin out of Bangkok. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
She served sentences in Thailand and Britain and using that | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
experience, she visits schools to educate young women and says | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
that Melissa Reid needs to come to terms with what she did and move on. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
My only advice to her would be to be honest. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Apologise to the people you need to apologise to and maybe use | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
it for other people, I am getting the truth to be | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
going around schools so perhaps Melissa can do that | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Whatever Melissa Reid decides to do in Scotland, because her crime | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
was committed abroad, she will have no official criminal record. | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
Scotland's first ministers past and present | :03:12. | :03:12. | |
have issued a joint statement backing a Remain vote | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
But on this final day of campaigning, | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell. | :03:19. | :03:33. | |
A late surge of energy in an otherwise lacklustre | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
A Remain dance at Holyrood, but Vote Leave say it is | :03:36. | :03:46. | |
too early to party because UK opinion polls are close. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
So, on the last day, In campaigners gathered in | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
Glasgow and a statue of Donald Dewar as his deputy and all of his | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
successors as first Minister confirm support to remain. | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
The current first Minister said that leaving the EU would make | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
I want people to remain in the EU tomorrow | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
with passion to protect the jobs and investment that come | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
with being part of the single market, to protect | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
freedom of travel but also to protect our place in the world. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
To remain a country that is outward-looking. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Remain campaigners like the first Minister think that continued | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
membership of the EU, with access to its single market, | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
those on the Leave side believe that outside the European Union, the UK, | :04:39. | :04:49. | |
including Scotland, could trade more freely around the world. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
The EU is an important market but not the most | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
into the single market, we would not have to burden every | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
single company in Scotland with a regulation that | :05:05. | :05:05. | |
To give the UK more control over fishing, farming | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
The EU is a catastrophe, it is undemocratic, | :05:14. | :05:23. | |
commissioners ruling the bureaucracy, or that has no power, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
We are not ruled by Parliament, we are ruled by property. | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
Fresh from her television clash with Boris | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Johnson, a Scottish Tory leader argued this | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
was not a referendum on border control. | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
You are more likely to be treated at hospital by | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
somebody from the EU then be behind them in the queue, you don't solve | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
Coming out of the EU will damage the economy. | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
Tomorrow is not the date to cast a protest vote. | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
In London, a final plea from Labour while on the | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
doorsteps in former Scottish Labour heartlands, the last push to trade | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Whichever side wins, in this referendum the public | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
If you're thinking Scotland has heard a lot from its politicians | :06:13. | :06:23. | |
over the past couple of years, you're right. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Voters are being asked to make a choice for the fifth time | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
With another trip to the ballot box tomorrow, here's our political | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
correspondent Andrew Kerr with a summary of the main issues | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
It has been a tough fight with some controversial elements. | :06:39. | :06:50. | |
The campaign has been characterised by some well-worn arguments. | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
Those wishing to remain in the EU have focused on the | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
economy, they say a quarter of a million Scottish jobs are linked | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
with EU trade and voting to leave, they say, | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
would be catastrophic for the economy. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Those who wish to leave take the opposite view, | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
calling the EU's system failing and dysfunctional, saying UK trade | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
and jobs will thrive after a vote to leave. | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
You will be familiar with the phrase "Take back control". | :07:17. | :07:30. | |
The belief is that we will not be able to control our borders | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
or the level of immigration by staying in the EU and a number of | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
people coming to the UK is putting a strain | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
But the Remain camp says immigration is | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
good for the economy and a new deal means in-work benefits for a new EU | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
migrant worker will be limited for the first few years. | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
For us in Scotland, this vote has a constitutional dimension. | :07:49. | :07:56. | |
The Prime Minister urges vote to Remain to | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
save the UK, while the First Minister, who wants independence, | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
backs that vote also, but she has warned that | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
could be triggered if the rest of the UK votes to leave | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
However, some who advocate Brexit want Scotland to | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
remain in the UK while others want the UK out of the EU and | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Votes will be cast tomorrow, but as we have seen | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
in Scotland, it might be up for debate whether a referendum actually | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
An offshore oil and gas company has announced up to 430 | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Subsea Seven expects most of them to be from its Aberdeen operations, | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
It plans to axe 1,200 roles worldwide. | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
The company is cutting more than ?200 million | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
from its costs, and taking some ships out | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
The footballing world is talking about Euro 2016 in France, | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
including the Scotland manager, Gordon Strachan. | :09:02. | :09:02. | |
He says his team is better than some of the sides at the finals. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
That's even though the Scots didn't qualify. | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
He's already looking forward to the challenge of reaching | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
He'd rather be in France, but his team didn't | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
make it to Euro 2016, so Gordon Strachan was in Aviemore | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
promoting a novel sport of 'foot golf' and putting a positive spin | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
on Scotland's absence from the main event. | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
At that tournament we are as are as good as the ones that are | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
I know that if we got there, between the fans and | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
ourselves and the players, we can make it a better tournament than it | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
The captain of the national team is also doing | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
homework, this time for Celtic's pre-season match against Leicester. | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
On our day, we have played Germany and Poland | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
Ireland and Northern Ireland, we have given them | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
great games in the last couple of years. | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Scotland will have a chance to prove themselves | :10:10. | :10:19. | |
against two teams who qualified for Euro 2016 when the World Cup | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
On the whole, I've probably got the best goal of | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
Maybe Spain, France, Slovakia a few times. | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
It's going to be a heck of a tournament. | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
We'll find out how good Scotland are when the Russia 2018 campaign | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
That's the football, not the foot golf. | :10:53. | :11:05. | |
Well, It's now time for the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
It has been largely dry so far this evening, especially towards the | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
south and east, but have been heavy showers across the north and West. | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
As we head through the night, those showers or is often fade back to the | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
Western Isles, elsewhere, largely dry with clear spells developing for | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
central and eastern parts. Low pressure is not far away, but it is | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
gradually shifting across the country. Heavy downpours across the | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
south-east of England and there is a Met Office Amber were the in force | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
as some of the showers could become quite lively over the next few days | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
and could cause some disruption. But as we head to the cause of the | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
morning, a good deal of sunshine. One or to by Chris Carter Charles, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
but for the most part, largely dry. Tomorrow morning, defined by | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
weather. Sunshine and temperatures already 14-15d. One or to showers | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
across the west coast and the north-west as well. Temperatures | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
towards the north will tend to rise to the low 20s as we head through | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
the day. A bit of Mr crossed Shetland on the coastal as well. -- | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
mist. The amber Met Office be prepared weather warning in the | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
foreseeable also see showers across Northern Ireland and western parts | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
of Scotland, but elsewhere, dry with sunshine. Across Scotland, | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
temperatures of 20-21d, further south, 20-23dC so warm for all. | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
Tomorrow evening, decent service polls, clear spells, but those | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
showers continued towards the north and west and become a bit more | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
widespread across the West Coast. Thursday into Friday, an area of low | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
pressure moves across others and with it some further showers. Some | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
of the showers on Friday could be quite lively across Scotland. Across | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
the West at first but gradually shifting east as we had through the | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
day, the risk of thunder and hail mixed in as well, but winds will be | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
lights but showers slow-moving and temperatures in the hit -- mid to | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
high teens. Our next update is during Breakfast | :13:19. | :13:19. | |
at 6:25am tomorrow morning. But from everyone on the late team | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
here in Glasgow and around | :13:23. | :13:26. |
