Demonstrations have been held across the country ahead of a House

:00:08.:00:10.

of Commons vote on Monday on whether to renew

:00:11.:00:12.

The main anti-Trident protest was in Glasgow

:00:13.:00:16.

Several hundred protesters gathered in Glasgow city centre to voice

:00:17.:00:31.

their opposition to renewing the UK's Trident weapons system, and

:00:32.:00:35.

replacing before Clyde -based submarines that carry the warheads.

:00:36.:00:39.

We are backing up on the Scottish MPs will be saying on Monday, so

:00:40.:00:44.

almost all of them, with the exception of David Mundell, will be

:00:45.:00:47.

saying we are opposed nuclear weapons. This is ordinary people

:00:48.:00:55.

saying this, we are behind you. The lifetime cost of Trident replacement

:00:56.:00:58.

is estimated to be around ?200 billion. Including at least 31

:00:59.:01:05.

billion for the new submarines. The renewal of Trident represents 6% of

:01:06.:01:09.

the defence budget. The .1% of total government spending. That means it

:01:10.:01:14.

is affordable and ultimately is an investment in national security. We

:01:15.:01:19.

want rid of these and we want rid of them now. Scotland's MPs

:01:20.:01:26.

overwhelmingly disagree. Is pretty well mean how many MPs will be

:01:27.:01:31.

voting against it on Monday. The people on the steps here, and 32

:01:32.:01:35.

other demonstrations, are saying they don't want nuclear weapons in

:01:36.:01:39.

Scotland. The existing submarines can operate until about 2030, of the

:01:40.:01:43.

lead-in Times Square to build replacements means the decision of

:01:44.:01:47.

whether or not to press ahead must be taken now. This is likely to be

:01:48.:01:50.

the biggest of around 30 demonstrations taking place today.

:01:51.:01:56.

Designs to send a message to Westminster ahead of Monday's vote.

:01:57.:02:01.

The reality of the make-up of Parliament is that the arguments

:02:02.:02:03.

expressed here are unlikely to win the day.

:02:04.:02:06.

Tommy Sheppard has announced he will stand for the role

:02:07.:02:10.

The MP for Edinburgh East joins the party's Westminster

:02:11.:02:12.

leader Angus Robertson - and MEP Alyn Smith -

:02:13.:02:14.

The current deputy leader, Stewart Hosie, has said

:02:15.:02:17.

Members of the RMT working at Scotrail are striking again this

:02:18.:02:28.

Scotrail expects to operate three quarters of its normal timetable -

:02:29.:02:34.

despite the walkout - and says trains to and from the Open

:02:35.:02:37.

The rail operator is urging passengers to check its website

:02:38.:02:43.

for details of what's running and what's not.

:02:44.:02:45.

Golf and the 2013 Open champion Phil Mickelson is battling it out

:02:46.:02:47.

with the man who came second that year - Henrik Stenson.

:02:48.:02:50.

Our sports reporter Phil Goodlad sent this report from Royal Troon.

:02:51.:03:00.

We are seeing something of a dual here on the links, between Phil

:03:01.:03:08.

Mickelson and Henrik Stenson. It was tense and who started brightest of

:03:09.:03:13.

all. Three of his opening for holes. That helped him take the lead at 12

:03:14.:03:18.

under par. He has dropped back since then and it is Phil Mickelson who

:03:19.:03:23.

now believe the Open Championship on 11 under, playing a steady golf you

:03:24.:03:29.

would expect from the 2013 open champion. Steady golf is what is

:03:30.:03:32.

required with this weather. Gusts of up to 30 mph. Pretty wet conditions.

:03:33.:03:40.

They are leading by five shots from a group of players trying to chase

:03:41.:03:46.

them down. Scotland's leading golfer, Russell Marks, finished on

:03:47.:03:51.

four over par for his round. He is back to four over for the

:03:52.:03:54.

championship. As Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson or the

:03:55.:04:00.

Well, it's over to Judith for the forecast.

:04:01.:04:04.

good evening. This is what is happening at the moment. We are

:04:05.:04:11.

bringing our weather in from the Atlantic. Breezy conditions for

:04:12.:04:16.

western areas. By the time we reach the beginning of next week, the

:04:17.:04:20.

winds back into the south-west, introducing much warmer conditions

:04:21.:04:24.

for Monday and Tuesday. Thing is starting to hot up. As far as this

:04:25.:04:28.

evening, still some further outbreaks of radio courtesy of

:04:29.:04:33.

Atlantic weather fans. Continuing to affect parts of western Scotland as

:04:34.:04:37.

we had through the overnight period and first tomorrow. Gradually

:04:38.:04:45.

confined to the Highlands. For the Northern Isles tomorrow, a dry

:04:46.:04:48.

picture. Bright twists and spells of sunshine. In the South, pretty good

:04:49.:04:54.

sunshine coming through for the south-west. Temperatures climbing up

:04:55.:04:59.

to 20 Celsius for the out of Scotland. Elsewhere, 15 or 16.

:05:00.:05:02.

We're seeing some of the best and worst of what summer 2016 has too

:05:03.:05:21.

often today, no prizes for guessing what category you are in. If this
