:00:14. > :00:17.Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news -
:00:17. > :00:20.more fall-out from the News Of The World scandal. A day after a
:00:20. > :00:23.dossier of alleged victims is handed to police, prosecutors ask
:00:23. > :00:28.them to investigate specific claims of phone hacking by the paper in
:00:28. > :00:31.Scotland. Also coming up tonight:
:00:31. > :00:41.We're live around the country, as Scotland plays host to three big
:00:41. > :00:41.
:00:41. > :00:51.events this weekend. Join me at Balado, where the music is already
:00:51. > :01:00.
:01:00. > :01:03.underway at T In The Park. Up and Prosecutors have asked Strathclyde
:01:03. > :01:07.Police to examine specific claims of phone hacking by the News Of The
:01:07. > :01:10.World. It comes after a dossier was handed to the force yesterday,
:01:10. > :01:20.containing a list of names of people in Scotland who were
:01:20. > :01:21.
:01:21. > :01:25.allegedly targeted. David Henderson reports.
:01:25. > :01:29.For years, Andy Coulson put the rich and famous under the spotlight.
:01:30. > :01:33.Today, it has been his turn. Detectives arrived at his house in
:01:33. > :01:39.south London while he was under arrest over claims of corruption
:01:39. > :01:43.and phone hacking. He gave evidence at Tommy Sheridan's trial, and in
:01:43. > :01:50.court, said he knew nothing of payments made to corrupt police
:01:50. > :01:57.officers. Today, that claim would be challenged by detectives. Why?
:01:57. > :02:03.Will, in June e-mails were discovered at News International,
:02:03. > :02:07.showing journalists requesting payments of �130,000 being made to
:02:07. > :02:11.police the sensitive information. This was over a seven-year period,
:02:11. > :02:17.and for most of that time, Andy Coulson was editor of the News Of
:02:17. > :02:20.The World. Yesterday, Tommy Sheridan's lawyer and a senior MP
:02:20. > :02:24.presented a list of names to police of people they claimed had their
:02:24. > :02:30.phones hacked by the News Of The World. Today, the Crown Office
:02:30. > :02:34.ordered a fresh investigation. Of The World were up to their necks
:02:34. > :02:37.in it, and this has gone on for several years, we what a full-scale
:02:37. > :02:40.inquiry, north and south of the border. They should be held to
:02:41. > :02:44.account, we were told this was just an English thing, but it has been
:02:45. > :02:48.happening in Scotland for a long time. A public inquiry will now be
:02:48. > :02:52.held into the scandal. The Prime Minister, announcing the move in
:02:52. > :02:57.Downing Street this morning. Everything that happened is going
:02:57. > :03:03.to be investigated. The witnesses will be questioned by a judge under
:03:03. > :03:07.oath. And no stone will be left unturned. But does that include
:03:07. > :03:12.Scotland? There are concerns an inquiry by a judge in England may
:03:12. > :03:17.focus only on the News Of The World's activities of there, and
:03:17. > :03:21.not on what has happened here. seems like some people in Scotland
:03:21. > :03:25.have been drawn into this, even though it was centred in London,
:03:25. > :03:30.and therefore, it there has to be an appreciation that standards have
:03:30. > :03:34.to apply it to the press in Scotland as well as elsewhere.
:03:34. > :03:39.Tonight, detectives removed a computer from Andy Coulson's home,
:03:39. > :03:42.along with bags of files and papers. A major investigation is now
:03:42. > :03:46.gathering pace. A woman has been cleared of
:03:46. > :03:48.murdering her lover's wife. At the High Court in Edinburgh the judge,
:03:48. > :03:52.Lord Brailsford, ruled there wasn't enough evidence to convict Rita
:03:52. > :03:55.Heyster of killing Carol Jarvis. The mother-of-four was found dead,
:03:55. > :03:59.taped up in a blanket under the floor of her house in Bathgate in
:03:59. > :04:03.West Lothian. Rita Heyster had been having an affair with Carol's
:04:03. > :04:09.husband and lived in a hut in their garden. She still faces charges of
:04:09. > :04:11.trying to cover up the death. Ms Heyster denies the charges.
:04:11. > :04:15.Dozens of homes in Edinburgh have been flooded after heavy rain
:04:15. > :04:18.caused flash floods in the capital. Motorists were also caught out by
:04:18. > :04:28.the downpour, with up to three feet of water on some streets. Gavin
:04:28. > :04:48.
:04:48. > :04:57.A member of the public filmed the Flash floods hit across the City
:04:57. > :05:00.and beyond. Here, Edinburgh as but the worst affected area. This is
:05:00. > :05:06.the scene a couple of hours on. But earlier, things were much, much
:05:06. > :05:10.worse. This is the same area a couple of hours earlier. This
:05:10. > :05:16.picture, from a well known social network side, shows the whole area
:05:17. > :05:21.under water. Some residents arrive home to find fire crews trying to
:05:21. > :05:26.pump water from their homes, while other -- others simply let to stay
:05:26. > :05:31.with friends until the waters subsided. When they do, the damage
:05:31. > :05:35.is expected to be extensive. Many homes and businesses were inundated.
:05:35. > :05:39.This council charity had just finished refitting its office. It
:05:39. > :05:45.says its bill is expected to be substantial, they did know how they
:05:45. > :05:52.can pay. We had claims come in, we had to let them in the fire exit,
:05:52. > :05:57.we had to keep going. How do you pay for the repairs? That a very
:05:57. > :06:06.good question! Mini parked cars were inundated, too. And even
:06:06. > :06:12.public transport did not escape. A final total for damages to be
:06:12. > :06:22.collected, it is expected to be substantial. -- yet to be
:06:22. > :06:24.
:06:24. > :06:27.calculated. Still to come before 7pm, it has been a mixed day of
:06:27. > :06:30.weather, I will have the full forecast.
:06:30. > :06:34.And in sport, before the weather rolled in, the long putts were
:06:34. > :06:41.rolling in for the Scots at the Scottish Open. We'll be live at
:06:41. > :06:44.Castle Stuart - lightning permitted Tens of thousands of music fans
:06:44. > :06:52.have descended on Balado near Kinross for T in the Park, which
:06:52. > :06:57.got underway in past hour. Catriona Shearer is there for us tonight.
:06:57. > :07:01.Well, I hear you talking about flashlight in Edinburgh. We're so
:07:01. > :07:06.much luckier here at Balado, the sun is shining, it is fantastic. It
:07:06. > :07:11.is such a great atmosphere, and everybody is well and truly
:07:11. > :07:16.exciting. -- excited. There was even a pipe band to pipe in the
:07:17. > :07:25.thousands of people who made their way in here, and this is the 18th
:07:25. > :07:34.year of Mr ball, every year, it gets bigger and bigger. -- 18th
:07:34. > :07:39.year of best double. They will see the likes of fiancee, Tom Jones,
:07:39. > :07:45.and our reporter has been meeting some of the band. Turning
:07:45. > :07:49.attempting to a home isn't any easy task, but 1000 will be just that,
:07:49. > :07:54.turning this disused airfield temporary into the 5th biggest town
:07:54. > :07:59.in Scotland. Every year, I say I'm not camping, but I still come back.
:07:59. > :08:05.You can just have a nice drink and chill out. All my friends are
:08:05. > :08:08.coming every single year. You can't get a better weekend. You get the
:08:08. > :08:15.full experience from camping, apparently! I will tell you on
:08:15. > :08:25.Monday! Arctic Monkeys are among the 200 Act to appear here at the
:08:25. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:30.weekend, alongside Coldplay and Tom And a new direction, Scottish Opera,
:08:30. > :08:35.making their debut with a pocket- sized Rigoletto to win over pop
:08:35. > :08:40.fans. We just take opera to places where it is not normally heard. The
:08:40. > :08:46.idea is we reach out to the public, and it is a case of us going out to
:08:46. > :08:50.them and showing them what opera is all about, and it is not just some
:08:51. > :08:55.sort of ivory towers, something for posh people. It is for everyone.
:08:55. > :08:59.The event hasn't just grown, it has been extended, with fans arriving
:08:59. > :09:03.in the main arena this afternoon. Would this about a people in one
:09:03. > :09:08.place, it has its own problems, with drink and drugs are
:09:08. > :09:12.particularly. Police are concerned with a rogue batch of ecstasy
:09:12. > :09:17.tablets which have been linked with the death of up to people so far.
:09:17. > :09:23.Fortunately -- unfortunately, drugs are taken every day, and there are
:09:23. > :09:30.no people will be bringing drugs to this double, those people bring the
:09:30. > :09:35.mark by very nature unscrupulous, you don't know what their strength
:09:35. > :09:40.is, don't know the quality, don't go near them. Fans, they say, to
:09:40. > :09:49.play their own part in making sure Scotland's biggest musical this
:09:49. > :09:55.double its stake as well as on. -- musical best double. Somebody who
:09:55. > :10:04.has just come of the brain stage, I'm joined by the Boys From Big
:10:04. > :10:10.Country. It was fantastic. Jamie and I did this a few years ago, it
:10:10. > :10:18.was fantastic. What was the atmosphere like? Every year, it
:10:18. > :10:22.gets better and better. You come as a band -- Thanh? Al, yes. It busby
:10:22. > :10:31.said different playing at it. see my house from here, believe it
:10:31. > :10:38.or not! You played here, of course, at the very first as double. I was
:10:38. > :10:42.the opening act. It is amazing to see it grow. It is now so
:10:42. > :10:50.synonymous with Scotland, just like another Scottish city on the map it
:10:50. > :10:54.appears once. It still retains its sense of community. You have
:10:54. > :10:57.obviously not changed much in those 18 years, but has this place?
:10:57. > :11:02.think the organisers have kept their sense of identity, that is
:11:02. > :11:08.what brings everyone, not just from Scotland, but from what made the
:11:08. > :11:14.world. I could see people from all matters -- nationalities, at the
:11:14. > :11:18.front. It is not just locals, it is global. It does attract audiences
:11:18. > :11:24.from all over the world. But the Scottish audiences do have Arab
:11:24. > :11:31.addition to being some of the most the separate and enthusiastic.
:11:31. > :11:39.litter, in the old days come when we would play in Glasgow, up to
:11:39. > :11:43.Inverness, all places would be incredible atmosphere. Thank you
:11:43. > :11:47.are joining me. If you are watching at home, and you're a jealous, you
:11:47. > :11:51.can catch all the highlights on the BBC.
:11:51. > :11:54.As thousands of us prepare to fly off on holiday, Edinburgh Airport
:11:54. > :11:57.is attempting to speed up the process of getting through security.
:11:57. > :12:05.The airport wants passengers to be well prepared for their trips to
:12:05. > :12:10.cut down delays. Catriona Renton reports.
:12:10. > :12:13.So, you're nearly ready for the off. But there are still security to go,
:12:13. > :12:20.and if you're rude about long queues, being prepared can save
:12:20. > :12:26.literally hours. We estimate that at I'm prepared passenger can spend
:12:26. > :12:29.three or five minutes more than prepared passenger. When you think
:12:29. > :12:33.about the thousands of passengers, that can add up to a long time.
:12:33. > :12:41.What sort of things should not be wearing to get yourself rich
:12:41. > :12:45.security more quickly? Things like this bank or, -- bangle, your phone,
:12:45. > :12:52.coins come anything metallic. The water, we would have to dispose of
:12:52. > :12:59.here. Things in your handbag, fake tan, you would have to leave here.
:12:59. > :13:03.Perfume, it is too big to take three. Last year, almost come to
:13:03. > :13:08.two tonnes of waste were confiscated at security, mainly
:13:08. > :13:15.deodorant, alcohol and Per Kian. Is the message getting through? I know
:13:15. > :13:22.I went to Holland in May, forgot you can only take through 50 mill,
:13:22. > :13:27.you just forget. You put them in a plastic bag, you say about a hassle.
:13:27. > :13:34.We thought we would take something nice and Scottish. Apparently, a
:13:34. > :13:40.good set of the alarms. It will be interesting to see. People seem to
:13:40. > :13:44.be getting the message, largely, but look at this. This is that the
:13:44. > :13:48.number of sharp object that had been collected just this morning
:13:48. > :13:53.Edinburgh airport, then we have these bottle of expensive alcohol,
:13:53. > :13:57.it is going to be heartbreaking for people that have lost them, because
:13:57. > :14:03.they are going to be destroyed. Better just put the things you
:14:03. > :14:10.really want with you in your hold luggage. And other items like jam,
:14:10. > :14:20.snow globes, and... Would you be upset if the man says you can't
:14:20. > :14:22.
:14:22. > :14:28.take that route? Good luck with Some of the other stories across
:14:28. > :14:34.Scotland - a Scottish and Southern Energy is to abandon doorstep sales.
:14:34. > :14:39.It will put 9,000 jobs at risk. The move was made two months after an
:14:39. > :14:46.English court found its sales agents where misleading potential
:14:46. > :14:51.customers. It comes on the day Scottish Gas announced a steep rise
:14:51. > :14:54.in prices. A 47-year-old women has been
:14:55. > :15:01.arrested in connection with allegedly fraudulent activity
:15:01. > :15:11.whilst a fund-raising for Ed and bars are Hospital for Sick children.
:15:11. > :15:17.
:15:17. > :15:20.-- ed and there are hospital. -- Edinburgh Hospital.
:15:20. > :15:30.Two former astronauts were in Dundee today to work with
:15:30. > :15:35.
:15:35. > :15:38.Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to visit Greenock this
:15:38. > :15:48.weekend we have dozens of tall ships have been gathering this
:15:48. > :15:49.
:15:49. > :15:53.afternoon. I am on board a Russian ship. It is the largest here in
:15:53. > :16:03.Greenock. You can have a look around at the tall Ships Festival
:16:03. > :16:05.
:16:05. > :16:11.this weekend. This is, after all, a race. It is a chance for crews from
:16:11. > :16:16.across the world to show what they can do. The other story is on land.
:16:17. > :16:24.The festival was last here in 1999 and it generated �15 million for
:16:24. > :16:28.the local economy. Organisers hope for a repeat. It is described as
:16:28. > :16:33.the greatest show on water. These Colombian's like to put on a
:16:33. > :16:37.display. The weather may be more unpredictable than back at home for
:16:37. > :16:42.them but they are still glad to be here.
:16:42. > :16:48.It is the first time we have visited Scotland with our ship. It
:16:48. > :16:55.is a great opportunity for us to find out more about your country.
:16:55. > :16:59.But this is not just a festival. It is a race. And some are finding the
:16:59. > :17:04.conditions around Scotland challenging. This is one of the
:17:04. > :17:08.largest class of the tall ships. It has travelled from Waterford in
:17:08. > :17:13.Ireland. Despite the weather they are still hoping that Greenock will
:17:13. > :17:18.give them a very warm welcome. When the rain stops it is still a
:17:18. > :17:23.challenge to bring all the ships into the harbour.
:17:23. > :17:29.It is tough, I can assure you. We have container ships and all the
:17:29. > :17:35.other usual traffic. Oil tankers, ships to Glasgow. We have to carry
:17:35. > :17:42.on and manage all that business. It has been challenging.
:17:42. > :17:47.But the effort has been worthwhile. If you look at the ships which
:17:47. > :17:53.Carmen, the cruise ships, they bring in tourists, and now this, it
:17:54. > :18:00.has put Greenock on the map. The ships are fantastic. I cannot
:18:00. > :18:06.wait to see more. It is 12 E years since the tall
:18:06. > :18:12.Ships will last visited. They will be here for the next four days.
:18:12. > :18:15.This ship and 56 others will sail up the west coast of Scotland. They.
:18:15. > :18:25.At Stornoway. People across the country will get a chance to have a
:18:25. > :18:32.
:18:32. > :18:38.look. -- v will dock at Stornoway. Big open-air events all over
:18:38. > :18:45.Scotland today. Including the golfer. Yes, the Scots are storming
:18:45. > :18:55.to the top of the leader board. That is where they hope to remain
:18:55. > :18:56.
:18:56. > :19:03.after the storms have rolled back out. Play has been suspended for
:19:03. > :19:09.two owls this afternoon. Yes, it has been. -- two hours. Suspended
:19:09. > :19:14.because of the Risk of Thunder and Lightning. We have been in the
:19:14. > :19:19.company of the Eagles, double bogies, and thunderstorms.
:19:19. > :19:26.Everything that the Scottish Open can throw at you. But admit it all
:19:26. > :19:30.it has been a heart-warming Caledonian Challenge. Tiger Woods
:19:30. > :19:36.may be absent but the Celtic Tiger's are setting the heather on
:19:36. > :19:43.fire. Scott Jamieson from East Kilbride is on his first year of
:19:43. > :19:49.the European tour and if he hit two eagles. Former champion, Graham
:19:49. > :19:57.McDowell, of Northern Ireland, I joined him on 11 under.
:19:57. > :20:05.It was a dream start. I played some nice golf and took a few chances. A
:20:05. > :20:11.perfect morning for scoring. I started with a bogey again - that
:20:11. > :20:16.must be a good omen. I made four birdies in a row straight after it.
:20:16. > :20:20.Then a few eagles, that was a nice boost.
:20:20. > :20:26.As the morning session drew to a close another Scot joined them at
:20:26. > :20:32.the top of the leader water. Ideal preparation for his first major,
:20:32. > :20:37.the Open Championship. This is one of the best courses we
:20:37. > :20:42.will play all year. It eases you end to what will be a tougher test
:20:42. > :20:47.next week. The threat of lightning suspended
:20:47. > :20:52.play as the afternoon wore on but organisers claim they are delighted
:20:52. > :20:57.with the way the tournament is progressing on a new golf course.
:20:57. > :21:02.The players' comments have been overwhelmingly positive. They're
:21:02. > :21:09.like the course. Spectators have arrived in bed numbers. -- they
:21:09. > :21:16.like. With a worldwide television audience of over 400 million this
:21:16. > :21:24.is a showcase for Scotland itself. So that is how things stand at the
:21:24. > :21:30.moment. Paul Lawrie is also in the clubhouse at nine under. Padraig
:21:30. > :21:36.Harrington is eight under par. There may Els is seven under par.
:21:36. > :21:45.Colin Montgomery, at a crowd favourite, he is still in

:21:57. > :22:04.Glasgow has been gripped by Murray many her. Andy Murray is in action
:22:04. > :22:14.at the Braehead arena. Fans flock there keen to catch a glimpse of
:22:14. > :22:15.
:22:15. > :22:21.their hero. He is competing for Great Britain in the Davis Cup.
:22:21. > :22:26.Scotland's Paul Di Resta are was the 7th fastest at practice today
:22:26. > :22:32.ahead of the British Grand Prix on Sunday. He had to endure her rain-
:22:32. > :22:42.soaked conditions at Silverstone. He is describing the race as the
:22:42. > :22:45.
:22:45. > :22:51.biggest of his career so far. Good And now the weather. It has been a
:22:51. > :22:55.mixed day of weather across the country. There is a Met Office
:22:55. > :23:02.warming in place for continued heavy downpours throughout the
:23:02. > :23:11.central belt and East Coast. Showers will continue this evening
:23:11. > :23:18.particularly around the Borders and Lothian. Areas farther west are
:23:18. > :23:24.likely to see some dry skies but with all the rain and cloud around
:23:24. > :23:29.temperatures will still be around ten Celsius. Tomorrow, the showers
:23:29. > :23:35.will still be with us particularly down the east coast where they will
:23:35. > :23:41.be prolonged and heavy. There is an East/West split tomorrow. You will
:23:41. > :23:47.note is that as we go through the day tomorrow. Around mid-afternoon
:23:47. > :23:52.we can expect temperatures around the south-west to hit 19 Celsius.
:23:52. > :23:56.Walking our way up towards the Western Isles it, if you encounter
:23:56. > :24:02.the sunshine and some pleasant ones temperatures will be around 18
:24:02. > :24:12.Celsius. East however, here is where we are likely to see the
:24:12. > :24:12.
:24:12. > :24:16.showers. Out on the mountain's the East/West split is still in play.
:24:16. > :24:23.The breeze is coming from the north-west. It will be wet in the
:24:23. > :24:33.east and you could get caught in some heavy showers. Out on the
