Jenny here welcoming you to the week, with an epic dinosaur

:00:00.:00:00.

Plus we're live in Glasgow to chat to Scotland's youngest ever

:00:00.:00:10.

Let's go straight to Glasgow and Martin,

:00:11.:00:20.

with all the details of a brilliant night at the Commonwealth Games.

:00:21.:00:26.

It's been a big weekend of sporting action here in Glasgow,

:00:27.:00:31.

with loads of medals for the home nations in cycling and in the pool.

:00:32.:00:36.

But there's one 13-year-old schoolgirl who's got

:00:37.:00:39.

Swimmer Erraid Davies, who's from the Shetland Islands, is Scotland's

:00:40.:00:44.

Last night, she swam to a bronze medal in the 100 metres backstroke,

:00:45.:00:52.

She's the youngest athlete at Glasgow 2014, and she joins me now.

:00:53.:01:04.

Can you tell us what it was like winning that medal? I was really

:01:05.:01:13.

happy. I did not expect it. I heard you did not tell your friends you

:01:14.:01:17.

would be competing. I didn't really tell them, but they found out in the

:01:18.:01:23.

relay. Whatever they been sailing? Good luck. Tell us about that moment

:01:24.:01:31.

when you were swimming. We were watching you swim, and my ankle said

:01:32.:01:42.

-- uncle said that was a shame putting a young girl there. How does

:01:43.:01:48.

it feel that you are a global star after one day? I don't have to it

:01:49.:01:54.

all face back or anything, so I haven't seen anything. -- Facebook.

:01:55.:02:04.

My swimming pool is not as big as the pool here. We hope you enjoy the

:02:05.:02:06.

rest of the Games. And there were golds for England

:02:07.:02:09.

in the pool last night. England's Fran Halsall won her

:02:10.:02:11.

second title of the Games by winning the 50m butterfly,

:02:12.:02:14.

and 18-year-old Siobhan-Marie O'Connor also won the 200m

:02:15.:02:16.

individual medley for Team England. OK, in other news,

:02:42.:02:46.

by the University of Edinburgh says they would have survived

Martin went to Aberdeen to find out why oil rigs there, the large

:03:10.:03:14.

platforms used to get oil out from under the sea, will have a big

:03:15.:03:17.

impact on the choice voters make. You can't find a person in Aberdeen

who doesn't know someone Most of the people in my street,

:03:26.:03:28.

it is oil job, oil job, oil job. The oil found in the North Sea

:03:29.:03:36.

affects us in many ways. It is used to supply energy to

:03:37.:03:39.

businesses, heat homes, power transport,

:03:40.:03:42.

and it is also found in many items Oil is incredibly important to

:03:43.:03:46.

the UK and to Scotland. It employs 450,000 people

:03:47.:03:58.

in oil-related jobs in England So we know oil is a big deal, and

:03:59.:04:01.

both sides, those for and against, an independent Scotland know that

belong to Scotland. That means the billions

of pounds which currently go to the UK government for taxes will

:04:28.:04:30.

instead go to Scotland. That money will go into a kind

of savings account The Better Together campaign, who

:04:35.:04:37.

want Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom, say that Scotland

:04:38.:04:45.

needs the UK because the oil and gas market can change very quickly,

:04:46.:04:49.

meaning that small countries could lose lots of money if oil prices

drop, and as the amount of oil declines, we are better joining

forces to find more oil elsewhere. But how do young people here in

Aberdeen think they will be affected It gets sold all

around the country anyway. You don't think it will

:05:10.:05:16.

make much difference? Either way, we will still have

the oil industry here. There will be

an international border We would have to get

a passport to go over there. It would affect us,

two sides to it, definitely. And finally
