For that in the driving seat for the first Six Nations as Andy | 0:00:44 | 0:00:51 | |
Robinson names his new captain. Good for Scotland, good for England | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
as well. That is the message the First Minister will deliver in a | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
speech and independence in London tonight. Alex Salmond will use the | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
occasion to argue that an independent Scotland was set the | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
standard for what he describes as progressive opinion south of the | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
border. In Edinburgh, he outlined his plans for an independence | 0:01:10 | 0:01:18 | |
referendum. A man with a message. In Scotland, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
Alex Salmond has been laying the foundations for his independence | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
referendum. This evening, the First Minister is in England preparing to | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
make a case souther the border. He says England should not be afraid | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
of Scotland going its own way. In fact, tonight he will tell an | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
audience in London it will be good for them. I thought coming to | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
England I would be positive about the future and about the future of | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
Scotland. I'm also say why I think it will also be good for England. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:55 | |
An entirely positive message. Salmond knows England and England | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
is now getting to know Alex Salmond. Politically, he now recognises what | 0:02:00 | 0:02:07 | |
appeals to an English electorate. Do not let these three parties ruin | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
your National Health Service. and west, we have been all over | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
England. We do not get a great deal out of them and they may as well be | 0:02:18 | 0:02:24 | |
independent of us. I would prefer them to stick with us. I think | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
English people should get a say on that is well because it affects us | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
just as much as them. The way things are these days, it is best | 0:02:32 | 0:02:39 | |
they stick together. Up Alex Salmond? I have no idea. This trip | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
to London as a return to familiar territory. He cut his political | 0:02:43 | 0:02:49 | |
teeth at Westminster. If England seems more relaxed than Scotland | 0:02:49 | 0:02:54 | |
about independence, why is he so keen to court opinion here? | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
starting gun has been fired on the referendum campaign even though it | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
is more than two years' away and minds are focused on the referendum | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
date north and south of the border. He has always seen himself as a UK | 0:03:06 | 0:03:12 | |
politician who has the court the UK public. Tonight, the First Minister | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
will talk of co-operation between England and Scotland. Behind the | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
warm words, battle-lines are already being drawn up on both | 0:03:19 | 0:03:28 | |
sides. That is the view from the south. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
The First Minister will be back in Edinburgh tomorrow launching his | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
consultation document on Scottish independence. What sort of detail | 0:03:37 | 0:03:43 | |
will be included in this document? A fair bet but it is a consultation | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
paper, not the final deal. There will probably be at draft bill | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
attached to the paper suggesting there will be one question and | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
independence but it also asked for views on whether there should be a | 0:03:55 | 0:04:01 | |
second back up question on the issue of devolution max. That is a | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
big controversy over the Scottish and UK governments. He has a firm | 0:04:06 | 0:04:12 | |
preference for the autumn of 2014. Some say it should be earlier. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
These are preferences and that is the beginning of serious | 0:04:15 | 0:04:22 | |
negotiation? It is exactly that. They want this to be accepted by | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
all and for the outcome of the process to be valid. At the moment, | 0:04:26 | 0:04:33 | |
the UK Government said would be illegal under present powers. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
This all be covered on Reporting Scotland tomorrow and the quick | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
mention of a special programme tomorrow night. This is on BBC | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
Scotland just after the news, Glenn Campbell will chair a debate | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
following the consultation. At court has heard that the | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
teenager accused of murdering the SCOPE Royd school boy, Jack Frew, | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
showed no sign of any mental health issues when he was examined by a | 0:05:00 | 0:05:07 | |
psychiatrist. Craig Roy admits killing the boy but denies murder. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
Was this teenager's death murder are culpable homicide? That is the | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
question put by the defence QC to the jury at the High Court in | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
Glasgow today. To help them decide, at they have been hearing evidence | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
about the accused's state of mind. 19-year-old Craig Roy who described | 0:05:25 | 0:05:31 | |
himself to a psychiatrist as shy and tenet. He admits stabbing 16- | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
year-old Jack Frew at in this we did they react in East Kilbride in | 0:05:35 | 0:05:42 | |
20th May 10, but denies murder. The forensic psychiatrist told the | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
court he first examined Craig Roy seven days after Jack Frew's death. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
Min 18-year-old told a psychiatrist that Jack Frew was a sex pest who | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
threaten to expose a brief affair they had had. He went on to tell | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
the doctor he had taken a kitchen knife from home as he felt he had | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
to threaten and intimidate him to show how he was strong himself. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
The psychiatrist told the court that he was called back to reassess | 0:06:08 | 0:06:14 | |
Craig Roy over the question of a personality disorder. He said he | 0:06:14 | 0:06:20 | |
was surprised by this. Having met him the first time, he said he | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
seemed like a nice young man who got on well with people. If he had | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
a personality disorder, it would be pervasive and problematic and | 0:06:29 | 0:06:38 | |
0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | ||
affect all areas of his life. He The court also heard that Craig Roy | 0:06:42 | 0:06:48 | |
was upset by what he had done and was haunted by Jack Frew's death. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:55 | |
Still to come: celebrating the legendary foxing or Woody Guthrie's | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
likes with Glasgow. His granddaughter retrace his steps in | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
the city. We will be heaving from the new | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
captain of Scotland's rugby team and the man who appointed him. We | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
also hear from Andy Murray and the man who he will have to beat to | 0:07:10 | 0:07:16 | |
reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:22 | |
One of Scotland's top businessmen has had his �3.5 million bonus | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
package withdrawn after shareholders objected. Sir Bill | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
Gammell, chairman of Cairn Energy, was hoping to be rewarded for | 0:07:30 | 0:07:38 | |
pulling off a multi-billion pounds oil deal. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Cairn Energy has been hugely successful drilling for oil under | 0:07:40 | 0:07:50 | |
the Indian desert. It is now worth �8.5 billion, most of that sort of | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
to another in the in form. Next week, shareholders get to vote for | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
a payout from a profit, but they're not happy about the payout to the | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
chairman, Sir Bill Gammell. He first made his name playing rugby | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
for Scotland. As he moved from Chief Executive to chairman last | 0:08:08 | 0:08:14 | |
year, he was paid a one-off �1.4 million. For sealing the deal and | 0:08:14 | 0:08:21 | |
India, company directors said he deserves more. At �2 million -- | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
�2.5 million payment plus a further �1 million payment. That proposal | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
has been withdrawn from next week's special shareholder meeting because | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
the shareholders Arran revolt, advised by a specialist watchdog on | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
executive pay. It is excessive in comparative | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
terms. It is partly to do with the fact he is being compensated for | 0:08:45 | 0:08:54 | |
effectively doing his job. The cases be made this week for curbing | 0:08:54 | 0:09:00 | |
executive payouts. There is a disconnect between top pay and | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
company performance. Something must be done. One of his criticisms is | 0:09:04 | 0:09:10 | |
that company bosses are too often rewarded for failure. Say what you | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
what about Sir Bill Gammell's proposed pay package, you cannot | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
say he has failed. Three family homes worth nearly �1 | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
million are to be seized and sold after a judge ruled their owners | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
were involved in drugs, extortion and money-laundering. Russell | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
Stirton and Alexander Anderson appeared in court but were never | 0:09:29 | 0:09:35 | |
convicted of those crimes. Police pursued the two using the proceeds | 0:09:35 | 0:09:41 | |
of crime legislation. Russell Stirton and Alexander | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
Anderson were arrested eight years ago by Strathclyde Police as part | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
of an operation into money- laundering and extortion. Police | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
raided a garage in the Glasgow Springburn district which was | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
operated by the men. They were arrested and appeared in court but | 0:09:56 | 0:10:02 | |
the case never went to trial. Russell Stirton's what Cherie house | 0:10:02 | 0:10:08 | |
in all guide was also raided. Prosecutors tried to seize it and | 0:10:08 | 0:10:16 | |
homes owned by their mothers. Russell Stirton and Alexander | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
Anderson argued they had bought their houses with cash from their | 0:10:19 | 0:10:24 | |
businesses, including this garage which has since changed hands. They | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
just said that their businesses involved unlawful conduct, | 0:10:29 | 0:10:36 | |
including the supply of drugs and an extortion racket. The men | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
claimed in court their businesses were legitimate but the judge did | 0:10:39 | 0:10:48 | |
not believe them. They said -- they said they had been importing drugs | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
and had fraudulently apply for mortgages on their properties. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
Another business owned by Anderson is also to be seized. The men have | 0:10:57 | 0:11:03 | |
three least to appeal against the order which is worth �922,000. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
A man has appeared in court following the death of James McCann | 0:11:07 | 0:11:12 | |
from Lesley in Fife who was hit by a car at the weekend. 25-year-old | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
Alastair Dick has been charged with culpable homicide and attempting to | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
pervert the course of justice. He made no plea and was remanded in | 0:11:20 | 0:11:25 | |
custody. Acid rain devastates - populations | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
but the long-term analysis of its impact on Scotland has revealed | 0:11:29 | 0:11:36 | |
only gradual improvement. The study found a loch to be recovering but | 0:11:36 | 0:11:42 | |
still chronically acidified. It may look clean and pure but the | 0:11:42 | 0:11:47 | |
pollution here is invisible. It should be ideal spawning territory | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
for salmon and trout but the water is too acidic for eggs to develop | 0:11:50 | 0:11:56 | |
properly. These eggs from a hatchery are being introduced to | 0:11:56 | 0:12:01 | |
see if it has improved. Thousands of eggs are dying and if that were | 0:12:01 | 0:12:07 | |
fish, it would not be accepted, but are the cars underneath the gravel | 0:12:07 | 0:12:14 | |
and nobody sees it. 200 kilometres of river is acidified. If it was | 0:12:14 | 0:12:23 | |
visual, people would find it completely unacceptable. This is | 0:12:23 | 0:12:28 | |
one of the UK's most important monitoring sites. This path, 1000 | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
ft up in the Galloway hills, is well worn by acid rain researchers. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
It has been the most comprehensively monitored site in | 0:12:36 | 0:12:42 | |
the country for 20 years but the improvement is slow. So far ride in | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
front air pollution has been arriving in making the water acidic. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
The soil behind this has become saturated and that is slowly | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
reaching out and the effects are still manifesting. Pollution caused | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
by industrial sulphur emissions is improving but only gradually and | 0:12:57 | 0:13:03 | |
that is good news. This loch remains chronically acidified. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
Nitrate levels actually increasing and scientists are also concerned | 0:13:06 | 0:13:12 | |
about the impact of climate change, particularly, increased rainfall. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:17 | |
These waters still have an important tale to tell. The next | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
chapter coincides with the expected designation of Galloway this summer | 0:13:20 | 0:13:27 | |
as a Unesco biosphere reserve. is important we managed to reverse | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
the mistakes made in the past. The more we understand, the more we can | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
improve the situation and improve the water quality and fish stocks | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
and the way fishermen can use it and tourists can come to the area. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:47 | |
These are all things that we will work with agencies to improve. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:57 | |
0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | ||
current evidence, improvement is But what beautiful scenery. Let's | 0:13:59 | 0:14:04 | |
look at what else has been happening across Scotland. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
NHS highland it says it may have to postpone some operations at | 0:14:08 | 0:14:15 | |
Raigmore Hospital because of her short bridge -- a shortage of beds | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
caused by an outbreak of C-diff. Murderer Malcolm Webster has been | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
given leave to appeal the length of his sentence. He was jailed for a | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
minimum of 30 years for the murder of his first wife in Aberdeenshire | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
and the second murder -- the attempted murder of a second. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:40 | |
His appeal to overturn his conviction has already been denied. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:47 | |
Orkney and Shetland should have the right to remain part of the UK if | 0:14:47 | 0:14:55 | |
the Scot went debts independence. More than 40 companies in the | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
Western Isles have called on the Scottish Government to reverse a | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
decision to cut very subsidies for haulage firms, which they say will | 0:15:02 | 0:15:08 | |
increase their costs. The there is to be changes, there has to be a | 0:15:08 | 0:15:13 | |
discount scheme that applies to large and small companies. I am | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
pleased that the Transport Minister has now agreed to meet with the | 0:15:17 | 0:15:23 | |
delegation. Policing of the new Cairnryan I | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
received a report could be strengthened. Police want the | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
Government to pay for four additional officers to make up for | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
those last year it -- last year after a funding cut. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:39 | |
St Andrews has been named as the most creative pace in Scotland, by | 0:15:39 | 0:15:45 | |
the arts body created Scotland, and awarded �150,000 to fund cultural | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
work. And a new tartan has been created | 0:15:49 | 0:15:55 | |
to commemorate the arrival of the pandas at Edinburgh zoo. | 0:15:55 | 0:16:03 | |
More on those and other stories on the BBC Scotland website. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
It is nearly as common as depression but getting the right | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
help for eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia can be | 0:16:11 | 0:16:16 | |
extremely difficult. Now a new specialist unit has opened at St | 0:16:16 | 0:16:23 | |
John's Hospital in Livingston to help the most acute cases. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
This was when I first joined the RAF in September. I was still quite | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
underweight. Nicole Blackie had just been accepted into the RAF. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:37 | |
Hersh future should have been brighter. Instead, something dark | 0:16:37 | 0:16:43 | |
was going on in her mind. All I'm would see was this huge figure in | 0:16:43 | 0:16:48 | |
the mirror, although my family had told me I was really thin. Nicole | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
was in the grip of anorexia. She was hiding food, deceiving her | 0:16:52 | 0:16:57 | |
family. She is 5 ft 7 but her weight plummeted to five stone. She | 0:16:57 | 0:17:06 | |
was admitted to hospital to weak to work. -- a walk. I wanted to get | 0:17:06 | 0:17:11 | |
better but the boys in my head, the owners, was wanting to kill me. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
Around 1000 people are diagnosed with eating disorders Eadie in | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
Scotland. This new unit at St John's Hospital will be used to | 0:17:18 | 0:17:24 | |
treat some of the most accused -- acute cases. It is the second most | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
common psychiatric disorder for young women and it is the most | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
dangerous. The death rate is higher for this disorder than any other | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
psychiatric disorder. So treatment for severe cases is really | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |
important. The unit brings together a specialist unit -- nurses, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
doctors and support workers, that aim to get more people on the road | 0:17:45 | 0:17:51 | |
to recovery. Nicole's family are simply Greipel she is still here. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:57 | |
We never thought we would see her back, ever, the state she was in. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
We thought that would be her, however long she was going to live, | 0:18:01 | 0:18:11 | |
0:18:11 | 0:18:12 | ||
but she has Pool 3 and his amazing. This year marks the anniversary -- | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
100th anniversary of Woody Guthrie. As part of the centenary | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
celebrations his granddaughter, Sarah Lee Guthrie, is in Scotland. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:29 | |
This morning she gave an impromptu tribute in a Glasgow are. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:34 | |
-- in a Glasgow pub. He was one of the most important | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
songwriters of the 20th century and Glasgow will stage the first | 0:18:38 | 0:18:43 | |
celebration of this, the 100th anniversary, of his birth. But | 0:18:43 | 0:18:48 | |
Woody Guthrie already has a connection to Glasgow. In the 1940s | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
he was Severn Bridge the US merchant navy and his ship was | 0:18:52 | 0:19:00 | |
torpedoed. He had leave in Glasgow Bahia. He spent his time meeting | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
other songwriters and gathering material in pubs like this one. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
think he would definitely have ended up in here because at the | 0:19:06 | 0:19:13 | |
Tara it was mainly French music that was played in here. It was a | 0:19:13 | 0:19:19 | |
real hub for folk music. -- at that time it was mainly folk music that | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
was played in here. Today it is his granddaughter who is making her way | 0:19:23 | 0:19:28 | |
there, ahead of performing in a special tribute concert. She says | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
she's proud her grandfather's songs have travelled the world and still | 0:19:32 | 0:19:37 | |
stand the test of time. What he represents, as far as his legacy | 0:19:37 | 0:19:46 | |
goes, is growing, and it is just this mass of idea of hope and | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
justice and all the things that he stood for, the little guy s the Big | 0:19:50 | 0:19:57 | |
Boris, and I think we need that more than ever. Now he is turning | 0:19:57 | 0:20:02 | |
100, we can celebrate. celebrate a will, in the pubs and | 0:20:02 | 0:20:10 | |
clubs as well as the concert hall. 100 years after his birth, Woody | 0:20:10 | 0:20:17 | |
Guthrie's songs are live on. Let's get the latest sport. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
Scotland's rugby team has a new captain. It is the Edinburgh | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
forward Ross Award. -- Ross Ford. He will skipper this calls for the | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
Six Nations. The national side's head coach says he has given the | 0:20:30 | 0:20:35 | |
job to fall because his first was, Kelly Brown, is injured. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:40 | |
Many a golfer has graced the famous bridge on the Old Course, but today | 0:20:40 | 0:20:49 | |
it was the turn of this man, the new Scotland rugby captain. Ross | 0:20:49 | 0:20:55 | |
Ford has it... For all of us, it is about developing leaders, and Ross | 0:20:55 | 0:21:01 | |
is an outstanding character, and an outstanding player. His next step | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
for him is becoming captain and becoming a leader and leading from | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
the front. I am really looking forward to him doing that. He will | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
do it in his way, as Ross Ford. He has been captain of Edinburgh a | 0:21:13 | 0:21:21 | |
couple of times. Ford is the latest man to lead Scotland Under Ross -- | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
under the current manager. Kelly Brown was supposed to be next in | 0:21:24 | 0:21:30 | |
line. He will not play any part in this year's Six Nations, as he is | 0:21:31 | 0:21:40 | |
having an operation on a leg injury. Ford has already been in the thick | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
of it against England, and next Saturday he will captain Scotland | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
against them at Murrayfield, as the Six Nations gets under way. It is a | 0:21:47 | 0:21:52 | |
massive game for us but I will do as a bridge it like I do any other | 0:21:52 | 0:21:57 | |
game. I just have a few decisions to make on a pitch at times but it | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
is just a massive honour to be asked to captain your country. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
Robinson says he is excited about seeing his new captain in action | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
and adds it is time Scotland delivered in the Six Nations. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
I Andy Murray plays for a place in the semifinals of the Australian | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
Open in the wee small hours of the morning. To make it through to the | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
last four he will have to beat one of the rising stars of the sport, | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
Kei Nishikori, and the young Japanese has already pulled off the | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
biggest upset of this year's tournament. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:33 | |
Kei Nishikori is becoming a first Japanese person to reach the | 0:22:33 | 0:22:39 | |
quarterfinals in Australia for 76 years. He beat the No. 6 seed Jo- | 0:22:39 | 0:22:48 | |
Wilfried Tsonga in five sets. To find out more, the Japanese 25th | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
seed is 22 years old and one of the smallest players in top-class | 0:22:52 | 0:22:58 | |
tennis, at five foot ten inches. But his -- he is on the rise. At | 0:22:58 | 0:23:03 | |
the start of last year he was ranked 98th, now he is 26th in the | 0:23:03 | 0:23:09 | |
world. Here is very good. For someone who is not the tallest guy, | 0:23:09 | 0:23:14 | |
but he creates a lot of power from the back of the court. He deals | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
with players well. His rides well. He is tough. He has won a few long | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
matches here as well so he is doing well. The pair have only played | 0:23:23 | 0:23:29 | |
once before. Murray won on that occasion. We played at the end of | 0:23:29 | 0:23:36 | |
last year and he kind of destroyed me, so... But I have no pressure | 0:23:36 | 0:23:41 | |
now. If Murray can destroy him again, or even get him out in five | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
sets, the Scot would be the underdog in the next round and he | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
could face world No. 1 and defending champion Novak Djokovic | 0:23:48 | 0:23:56 | |
for a place in the final. Scottish FC's compliance officer | 0:23:56 | 0:24:01 | |
has been a busy man today. He is offering a two-match ban for the | 0:24:01 | 0:24:09 | |
Hibs striker. It is his first such charges as many months. Motherwell | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
will appeal after Michael Higdon was offered a one-match ban for | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
this Geoff jet after his goal against Dundee United at the | 0:24:17 | 0:24:22 | |
weekend. -- this gesture. The FA's performance director says | 0:24:22 | 0:24:29 | |
he wants -- Scotland's young talent to develop here rather than being | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
dented by the English Premier League. He was asked about James | 0:24:32 | 0:24:37 | |
Forrest and links -- reports linking him to Tottenham Hotspur. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
For the time being it will be excellent for James if he can stay | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
playing with Celtic, try to do as good as possible and get | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
international appearances be the national teams. Maybe also with | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
Celtic next year. The worst thing that can happen to him is that he | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
signs for a Premier League club in England and ends up not playing. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:03 | |

As we head towards 7pm, here is the One a those disappointing drizzly | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
damp days. If you are hoping to see the Northern Lights tonight, you | 0:25:31 | 0:25:37 | |
would be very lucky indeed. Most of the heavy moderate break across | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
parts of Argyll and the north-west Highlands but for much of the | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
mainland it will be cloudy and damp. Wind is increasing at the West | 0:25:43 | 0:25:50 | |
Coast. A mild night. Suddenly in the West. Further is, perhaps, a | 0:25:50 | 0:25:55 | |
little milder than not. -- For the East. Into tomorrow, a windy day. | 0:25:55 | 0:26:00 | |
Severe gale force across parts of Shetland in the morning. Elsewhere, | 0:26:00 | 0:26:05 | |
strong and everyone of today. Lots -- like outbreaks of rain and | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
drizzle. Towards the afternoon, the difference is that it will be | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
pretty mild. Temperatures up to nine or ten degrees or so, though | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
there will be a lot of cloud around and some light rain and drizzle. So | 0:26:17 | 0:26:23 | |
even with those higher temperatures, not feeling that special. A glimmer | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
of brightness along the Moray coast and into Inverness but the rain | 0:26:26 | 0:26:31 | |
never far away. A mix back for Orkney and Shetland. Perhaps not as | 0:26:31 | 0:26:36 | |
much sunshine as we saw today for grip. Him to the evening, a cold | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
front from West to East. This time tomorrow it will be pretty wet. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
Especially across the central belt. Looking at the pressure chart, we | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
can see the cold front continuing to shovel away from us towards the | 0:26:49 | 0:26:59 | |
North Sea. Behind it, a band of, weather. For Thursday, bright with | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
showers. The showers will be wintery. We could see his little | 0:27:03 | 0:27:07 | |
hail. Temperatures back to where they should be. In between the | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
showers, some brightness. Friday looks the best day of the week, | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
with plenty of sunshine, dry bright conditions. Wind easing down. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:24 | |
