You have the best of everything - lovely people, great opportunities. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Lovely landscapes and outdoor activities and green space. This | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
upward trend is set to continue at least as long as the baby boomers | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
continue to live a long life. By 2018, we could see the population | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
hit 5.3 6 million and it is expected to keep rising until | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
several years from now. A man who was jailed for life for | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
the racially-motivated murder of a Glasgow teenager has lost a final | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
bid to overturn his conviction. He killed a 15-year-old and set him on | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
fire in March 2004. In his appeal, the 34-year-old claimed that new | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
evidence would kill her -- would clear him. But there were claims | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
the evidence had been fabricated and calls for a investigation into | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
how it was obtained. A care group providing services to | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
800 people with learning difficulties has gone into | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
administration after suffering problems with cash flow. The group | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
employs 1,400 staff, providing support of living, home care and | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
residential services. Administrators say services are | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
continuing uninterrupted. Thousands of people have a right in | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
the capital for three weeks of theatre, comedy and entertainment | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
as the Edinburgh Fringe gets under way. Arts Correspondent is there | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
for us. What can people expect? What has been happening is that | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
venues have been springing up across the city, like this one, | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
which was a garden until last week. Thousands of performers have been | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
pouring in and these people have come from Cuba. There are about | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
20,000 performers in town for the next three weeks. Accommodation is | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
almost as capacity as the world's largest arts festival gets under | :10:45. | :10:54. | |
way. In August, the City of Edinburgh becomes the stage and the | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
world comes here. 2542 shows between now and the end of August. | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
We get performers from all over the world and media from all over the | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
world. People from the industry are looking to buy work and take it | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
back. The audience follows and the audience is international, too, and | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
that is a great combination. That is great for the people of Scotland. | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
It is not just one Festival - part of the appeal is that a relatively | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
small city plays host to so many festivals, or marching in time. | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
Together, they are worth eight Wapping quarter of a billion pounds. | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
The tattoo has just invested �16 million in a new stand. Anyone who | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
has come before will have great memories of the show, but the | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
seating has always been quite tight and if you had a particularly large | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
distance between your back and your knees, it has not been comfortable. | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
We were very keen to give the audience a better view, so there is | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
more room in each seat and more of a view. The sidelines are | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
considerably improved. The Fringe dwarfs it all and that is what | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
makes performers, new and established, keep coming back for | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
more. I came a long time ago and did my first show here. Nobody | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
could put any publicity up so we had to go round all night with blue | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
tack and put my pictures up. Somebody tore them down and we had | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
to put them back up. I am so in love with Edinburgh and the Fringe. | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
It is the greatest place to be. Today, I bumped into and chatted | :12:33. | :12:43. | |
:12:43. | :12:52. | ||
There are 41.1000 performances still to go. That is what is so in | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
unique about this festival, people choose to come here, they pay | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
parade themselves, they want to be here. He does not matter who you | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
are, you have to support your own show, whether you are John Markovic, | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
he was out handing flies himself. Thank you very much. | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
Some of the other story is that this evening. | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
A lorry driver who knocked down and killed a lollipop lady in the East | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
End of Glasgow has been found guilty of careless driving. He was | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
fined �125. Ian McEwan knocked down Catherine Gibson up on a pedestrian | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
crossing in January last year. A man has died, and three people | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
injured at a serious clash in Clackmannanshire. A ban and the | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
three cars were involved. It happened on the A876 just outside | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
Clackmannanshire bridge. The road was closed for several hours last | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
police investigated the cause. Part of the points of the lines at | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
Edinburgh Waverley where they trained at the Rail had been found | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
to be heavily worn. The train came off the tracks last | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
week. The train's driver and signalling scored -- signalling | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
staff have been played by the rail accident investigation of parity. | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
Hundreds of an Archer whale watchers and dolphin spotters will | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
be gathering around BC's of Scotland as they try and track the | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
various populations of the mammals in UK waters. | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
This is the 10th anniversary of Sea Watch in Scotland. Records of | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
sightings over the weekend will help build up a picture of the | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
animal's movements. Whale and dolphin Cruise are greatly excited | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
of sightings around the bay. The sightings will provide a | :14:53. | :15:01. | |
snapshot of the animals in our waters. People do not think they | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
are around here, people say I did not know they are here. They travel | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
from Florida, Australia, they do not know that they are here. This | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
is the 10 appear of this exercise, the build up a ball that data is | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
providing biologist with crucial -- crucial information. | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
The porpoise is the one that people are most likely to see. It is | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
something that I specialise in. The common dolphin, they are often seen | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
in mixed schools. We are seeing quite a lot of those. The bottle- | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
nosed dolphin is another one. The mean key whale is a well battle | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
feeding close to shore. He did not have to be on a boat like this to | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
join in with sea watch. Sometimes the best place to see it | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
is from the land. I have had better sightings from the land that I have | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
on the boats. I saw a basking shark from the land. You do not get to | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
see that on a boat. It is a great vantage point. Anyone can join me | :16:18. | :16:27. | |
in see watch. If you do not spot anything this we tend, do not worry. | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
Reports of what is not there is just as important. There has been a | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
side thing of the lesser spotted a David Currie Cup in the studio. | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
The beef three Scottish teams trying to qualify for the Europa | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
League have found that today will have to beat to get there. | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
Hearts have the most eye-catching draw, they face Tottenham Hotspur | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
of the Premier League. Rangers will have to have a comes Libyan | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
opposition, while Celtic are heading to Switzerland. Hearts are | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
swept aside these little known Hungarians to reach the final | :17:06. | :17:16. | |
:17:16. | :17:20. | ||
qualifying round. The Bay 14-1. -- Bay 14-1. The they | :17:20. | :17:29. | |
face tougher opponent to reach the group stage. | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
They have a very good place years, talented players. We are going to | :17:37. | :17:46. | |
prepare for them. There were be two games, I hope we're going to be | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
successful. It is all about the Europa League for the Scotland | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
representatives. Rangers and Celtic will also enter the competition. | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
Celtic will face a trip to Switzerland to play Sion. They have | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
won it two out of three in their league. As with all Swiss teams | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
they will be very fit, very athletic. Rangers consolation for | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
failing to make the Champions' League is a European League | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
qualifier against marry Boarhunt Slovenia. They face than a decade | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
ago -- a decade going a Champions' League qualifier. The same result | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
would do the trick. They will probably have to do it without | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
Madjid Bougherra, they have accepted an offer of �1.7 million | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
from Lekhwaiya in Qatar. They have signed Kyle Bartley from last on | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
line. They are Bids remain in for the Anderlecht defender Roland | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
Juhasz and the Den Haag winger Wesley Verhoek. Ally McCoist says | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
he has been frustrated in summer is a tense but, that is not down to | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
applaud a transfer policy. Everybody has a do prim value, and | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
are given a pin in the their value. There is no right or wrong. You let | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
the business people do what they have to do. In an ideal world you | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
get the players he wants, it is a simple as that. Scotland's rugby | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
players will find out if they're so summer has been well spent when | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
they play their match tomorrow. World Cup starts next month, but | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
coach Andy Robinson still has to make decisions over who will make | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
the trip to New Zealand. Won a World Cup a better run is close to | :19:49. | :19:59. | |
:19:59. | :20:00. | ||
him booking his place. -- a one world cup of veteran. The heat is | :20:00. | :20:07. | |
now on, the lead World Cup is close. We will have to be at a very best | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
to be want to win a game. We have to be at a very best. Tomorrow's | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
match against Ireland could be the last chance to impress the coach | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
before the plane leaves for New Zealand. For one player they could | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
:20:38. | :20:40. | ||
be a stepping-stone to a you need record. That man is Chris Paterson. | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
Last year he suffered serious injury, are a good game tomorrow | :20:44. | :20:53. | |
and he could be going into these the 4th World Cup. He's a really | :20:53. | :21:03. | |
good player to worker, a cracking person. We want every player going | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
out and play at his best, that is what Chris does. This time they | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
believe fans will see a new side is Scotland. We will do everything we | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
have to it to win. If Chris Paterson recaptures this kind of | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
format tomorrow a his match at Murrayfield, then his place on the | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
aeroplane is certain. Time for me to take a bow. | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
You are very good about. Thank you very much. | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
They call it the Olympics blockades, it is already under way in Scotland. | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
The 45th International Children's Games is being held in Lanarkshire. | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
It is attracting competitors from all over the world. They already | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
have won an Olympic champion in their midst. What is the connection | :22:05. | :22:13. | |
between this? And be this? Having inspired a generation other | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
black Americans with this salute, Tommy Smith was in Lanica share | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
today, inspiring the next generation of Scottish athletes. He | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
smashed the 200 metres world record in that games, he wants youngsters | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
:22:41. | :22:45. | ||
here to aim just as high. To make - - to me this step is the most | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
important, athletes all over the world, you do not see this, here | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
are kids from all over the world, different uniforms, different | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
backgrounds. How important are these games? They have been going | :23:00. | :23:09. | |
so in 1968, this edition of beaches told hundred and 50 athletes, 250 | :23:09. | :23:19. | |
:23:19. | :23:19. | ||
coaches, a cross for 33 countries worldwide. I have the of these | :23:19. | :23:28. | |
games since 1987, these gains will be the best one I had seen. This | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
has been the coolest one I have been too. The opening ceremony was | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
awesome. There were some strong Scottish performances on the track | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
this afternoon. As another step to Glasgow 2014 was taking, much of | :23:45. | :23:54. | |
the talk at the Children's Games was facing -- was focusing on 2014. | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
There is a big international team here, we are focusing more and more. | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
These games are not just about track and field. Medals will have | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
been decided in eight other sports, including swimming -- swimming and | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
judo. With three years to go until the Commonwealth Games, it seems | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
that Scotland's stars of the future that Scotland's stars of the future | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
are already in training. Let's go to the weather. | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
- it is beatable where they here for star. | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
:24:46. | :24:48. | ||
Dry and bright tonight. Late sunshine in Edinburgh. You can see | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
why not to spells developing. Generally tonight it will be dry | :24:52. | :25:02. | |
and cool. Temperatures in town around nine-10 Celsius. Into | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
Saturday, and a promising start, dry fine and bright. We will see | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
some cloud bubbling up. Further north, some showers. The Met Office | :25:15. | :25:24. | |
has issued a of the yellow warning. Summer thundery downpours. You can | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
see that Rana making its way south. Further north it will be a dry a | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
story, showers around, they could emerge to make longer spells of | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
rain. They could be quite persistent, with light wins. | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
Temperatures in the North a little cooler, up 17 degrees or so. If | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
you're out and about in the hills or mountains, the best conditions | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
will be in the north-west, some sunshine. The wins will be light | :25:54. | :26:04. | |
:26:04. | :26:04. | ||
coming from the south-east. -- will wind ups. The winds will be | :26:04. | :26:14. | |
slightly stronger. Good visibility, I bring the East conditions have | :26:14. | :26:23. | |
forced free, or for sport. The rest of the afternoon, we can track that | :26:23. | :26:31. | |
rain as it moves northwards, parts of Angus and Fife. It will come | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
back pretty much everywhere in the country. Low-pressure, it is | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
anchored over us over the weekend. On Sunday, some more rain | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
unfortunately, it continues to make its way northwards. The rain will | :26:48. | :26:56. | |
still be with us on Monday, the wind arrows are coming from the | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
North, a cooler deal to things. Some showers around, and some cloud | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
that, that for holding to Tuesday that, that for holding to Tuesday | :27:05. | :27:15. | |
as well. Just before seven no clock, the relatives of a family Kildare | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
last attack has said it is reported a family apart. | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
Two children were murdered in the attack. Fears about the global | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
economy are continuing to affect the global financial markets. They | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
have been sharper downturns in the last 24 hours due to the eurozone | :27:36. | :27:45. | |
debt crisis. Meanwhile, Edinburgh- based Royal Bank of Scotland which | :27:45. | :27:53. | |
is owned by taxpayers, has announced a loss of �1.4 billion. A | :27:53. | :27:56. |
