:00:15. > :00:20.Tonight on your national news: Pressure grows on Alex Salmond over

:00:20. > :00:26.what his independence plans mean for European Union membership. Next

:00:26. > :00:29.stop, the courts. Building on success: Andy Murray calls for a

:00:29. > :00:34.national tennis centre amid claims that the stars of the future have

:00:34. > :00:37.to go elsewhere. Also tonight: Hands off our land as

:00:37. > :00:40.one of our remotest communities stands up to the Ministry of

:00:40. > :00:44.Defence. And he can't stop scoring but it

:00:44. > :00:49.won't be in the blue of Scotland - no way back for Steven Fletcher

:00:49. > :00:51.despite the player's change of heart.

:00:51. > :00:56.The row over whether an independent Scotland would automatically be

:00:56. > :00:59.granted membership of the EU intensified today. It's been

:00:59. > :01:03.revealed there will be an urgent hearing at the court of session

:01:03. > :01:09.later this week over Alex Salmond's refusal to say whether he has had

:01:09. > :01:12.any legal advice over the matter. Labour say that's because there is

:01:12. > :01:14.something that the First Minister doesn't want people to know. The

:01:14. > :01:24.First Minister says he's only abiding by the rules of the

:01:24. > :01:29.ministerial code. 4th or relationship with Europe has become

:01:29. > :01:33.one of the most controversial car issues in the debate. The Scottish

:01:33. > :01:43.government argues that ex-cop and became independent, it would

:01:43. > :01:43.

:01:43. > :01:47.automatically remain part of the year. The SNP's political opponents

:01:47. > :01:52.have called on the Scottish government to provide legal advice.

:01:52. > :01:54.In July, or Scotland's information commissioner upheld a request from

:01:54. > :01:59.at a Labour MEP and ordered that the Scottish government confirm

:01:59. > :02:04.whether or not ministers had confirmed -- received advice on

:02:04. > :02:12.this issue. The government went to the courts to argue that any such

:02:12. > :02:18.advice should remain undisclosed. If they tell me I cannot reveal

:02:18. > :02:21.legal advice, that is the ministerial court. If I would break

:02:21. > :02:27.that, I would be in breach of the Ministry of code. That has been the

:02:27. > :02:29.case they every UK government from time immemorial. Scotland's

:02:29. > :02:34.information commissioner believes is in us in the public interest to

:02:35. > :02:39.reveal whether or not the government has run race -- received

:02:39. > :02:43.advice on their membership of the European Union. She will get to

:02:43. > :02:47.make her case at a preliminary hearing here on Thursday.

:02:47. > :02:51.Opposition parties want to go further, saying the Government

:02:51. > :02:54.should publish the content of any advice as soon as possible. I would

:02:54. > :02:59.suggest that it means there is something there that he doesn't

:02:59. > :03:07.want us to know. If Scotland was an independent country, separate from

:03:07. > :03:11.the UK, we would have to apply for membership. The Scottish government

:03:11. > :03:14.says the position of Europe consistent with legal advice will

:03:14. > :03:22.be published in a white paper towards the end of next year.

:03:22. > :03:25.Political pressure to publish the advice in full will grow.

:03:25. > :03:27.Andy Murray is calling for a new national tennis academy in Scotland

:03:27. > :03:30.to encourage the country's promising young players. Thousands

:03:30. > :03:39.of people lined the streets of his home town of Dunblane yesterday to

:03:39. > :03:44.see him after his triumphs in the US open and the Olympics. Andy

:03:44. > :03:51.Murray first played on these courts 15 years ago, coached by his mum.

:03:51. > :03:55.The rivalry between the two it is still as fierce as ever. The Andy

:03:55. > :03:59.Murray effect has encouraged over 100 juniors to play in Dunblane.

:03:59. > :04:02.The club has several coaches to have put in hours of the time, but

:04:03. > :04:07.it is not the same all over Scotland. Andy Murray believes that

:04:08. > :04:13.is now time for a national academy. It would be nice if we could have

:04:13. > :04:18.the quality. A National Tennis Centre does not need to cost a

:04:18. > :04:23.fortune, it would cost much less than the Royal Hunt and one. If we

:04:23. > :04:28.could have something like that it would make it big difference --

:04:28. > :04:32.Walhampton. Tennis Scotland run this National Centre in Stirling,

:04:32. > :04:36.but once the players reached a certain age, they need more

:04:36. > :04:41.facilities. When the players get to a Capel-le-Ferne roundabout 15 or

:04:41. > :04:45.16, if they are really pushing on, they have to move. And he went to

:04:45. > :04:49.Barcelona. This is one of the challenges facing 16-year-old

:04:49. > :04:53.Isabel Wallers. She is living and playing in Australia, where her

:04:53. > :04:58.parents feel to is getting the coaching she needs. But she wants

:04:58. > :05:02.to come home. Thousands of miles away in Inverness, her parents run

:05:02. > :05:08.a bakery. They have remortgaged their home, worked seven days a

:05:08. > :05:11.week and spent over �30,000 a year on their daughter's dream. We feel

:05:11. > :05:19.we are scratching the surface at the moment. For the next two years,

:05:19. > :05:25.a lot of money will be spent even more. Physios, coaches on the road

:05:25. > :05:33.with her all the time, we need put her forward now. It is a lot of

:05:33. > :05:37.pressure and stress on family. It is not glamourous, it is tough.

:05:37. > :05:42.Isabella's committed to playing tennis for Australia instead of

:05:42. > :05:49.Scotland for the next to my ideas in return for her coaching. -- for

:05:49. > :05:52.the next two years. The size of the crowd is indication of just how

:05:52. > :05:56.long we have waited for a tennis champion. The Scottish government

:05:56. > :06:00.says it will look at the idea of the Scotch Academy in the next few

:06:00. > :06:08.months. Andy Murray says there is more talent out there. Not only do

:06:08. > :06:11.we have to find it, but we have to keep it.

:06:11. > :06:13.Still to come on the programme: Swept overboard but lived to tell

:06:13. > :06:15.the tale. A lucky escape for one hardy sailor.

:06:15. > :06:18.And the Paisley-born man many regard as the father of

:06:18. > :06:21.photojournalism and some of the remarkable images he produced.

:06:21. > :06:24.Sport, who to play up front for Scotland? A question made a little

:06:24. > :06:29.more complicated for Craig Levein after one says he wants back and

:06:29. > :06:37.another's manager says he's ready. Plus, Rangers rocked by an injury

:06:37. > :06:39.to one of their key players. Templeton out but for how long?

:06:39. > :06:42.Scotland's leading the world in developing computer science to

:06:42. > :06:45.improve medical care. Health experts from around the world are

:06:45. > :06:48.this week meeting in Forres to discuss how advances in digital

:06:48. > :06:58.technology can enhance patient care while keeping people out of

:06:58. > :07:02.

:07:02. > :07:07.hospital. Ian Cameron has it severe respiratory problems. Fortunately

:07:07. > :07:11.for him, a simple wireless pad attached to his body is relaying

:07:11. > :07:19.details of his condition needed -- minute by minute his doctor's

:07:19. > :07:23.surgery. When we see a patient, we see a snapshot of a patient. The

:07:23. > :07:27.Technology, we can see what has happened hours beforehand and the

:07:27. > :07:30.hours after treatment. We can see and anticipate something going

:07:30. > :07:35.wrong and hopefully see an improvement on the treatments we

:07:35. > :07:39.have given him. This technology is being developed by commute --

:07:39. > :07:43.computer scientists at Edinburgh University. It means Ian is being

:07:43. > :07:47.monitored just as if he was in hospital. Last time I was in

:07:47. > :07:56.hospital, I was in for about a week and there was nothing done in the

:07:56. > :07:59.hospital that couldn't have been done at home. If we can keep

:07:59. > :08:04.patients out of hospital, their health benefits for the patient

:08:04. > :08:11.themselves but also, economic benefits for the NHS. It helps us

:08:11. > :08:14.to deliver services to patients close to the point of care in the

:08:14. > :08:18.patient's home itself. challenge for health authorities

:08:18. > :08:22.around the globe is to find smarter ways of caring for an ageing

:08:22. > :08:27.population. The kind of technology being developed here is pointing

:08:27. > :08:30.the way. Soldiers from The Royal Scots Borderers 1 Scots are leaving

:08:30. > :08:33.their base at Dreghorn Barracks in Edinburgh for a six month

:08:33. > :08:35.deployment to Afghanistan. They will perform a variety of

:08:35. > :08:39.roles including advising on operational issues throughout

:08:39. > :08:44.Helmand Province and training the Afghan National Army. The

:08:44. > :08:47.battalion's last tour of Afghanistan was in 2010.

:08:47. > :08:50.The Crown Office has refused to comment on press reports in Malta

:08:50. > :08:53.that a secret court hearing was held there to gather new evidence

:08:53. > :08:57.about the Lockerbie bombing. The Times of Malta newspaper says

:08:57. > :08:59.several witnesses gave evidence at the hearing. Malta was key to the

:08:59. > :09:07.Lockerbie trial, because it was there prosecutors said the bomb

:09:07. > :09:16.which exploded over the town was put into a suitcase. A look now at

:09:33. > :09:40.increase our production 10 times. It will probably take us about

:09:40. > :09:44.three years to get to that stage. Proposals for Dundee's Museum go

:09:44. > :09:49.before city councillors tonight for formal approval. The landmark

:10:13. > :10:17.plight of the species. It is really exciting. You only need a tiny

:10:17. > :10:23.proportion of people to come away from seeing them thinking, yeah, I

:10:23. > :10:30.want to do something about pandas. But as a lot of people whose minds

:10:30. > :10:38.and -- have been changed. A new work by Alasdair Gray has

:11:07. > :11:13.half-a-century. Originally, we didn't know what we had. Even Sean

:13:51. > :13:55.sure Cape Wrath was more than just a name on the shipping forecast. It

:13:55. > :14:00.has been argued that Cape Wrath also helps attract thousands of

:14:45. > :14:48.

:14:48. > :14:57.battered by a force eight gale off the Butt of Lewis. These pictures,

:15:03. > :15:13.toying report of Gerry Beard back to port. He was swept off the boat

:15:13. > :15:19.

:15:19. > :15:26.in a Force 8 gale into the Atlantic Ocean. The boat was swinging

:15:26. > :15:34.underneath any and I'd shot into the little space between their

:15:59. > :16:07.knocked down and I was able to signal and have then or later, the

:16:07. > :16:11.cavalry arrived. He is still in Stornoway and plans to go home as

:16:11. > :16:16.soon as possible, but says he plans are more adventures. There is

:16:16. > :16:20.always something that you can learn at any age and I have just done

:16:20. > :16:28.that! Now what has been happening in the

:16:28. > :16:31.world of sport? Dougie can tell us. The Scotland strikers debate

:16:31. > :16:35.rumbles on a week after the World Cup qualifying campaign began with

:16:35. > :16:38.two home draws. But anyone hoping for imminent change by the manager

:16:38. > :16:42.Craig Levein looks like being disappointed. That is despite one

:16:42. > :16:52.player opening the door for a call- up and the club manager of another

:16:52. > :16:54.

:16:54. > :17:01.making a case for his inclusion. He is a chance, Steven Fletcher has

:17:01. > :17:07.made the run and there it is. Three goals in two games for name at six,

:17:07. > :17:13.but there will be no immediate return to Scotland for the player.

:17:13. > :17:23.But that is despite in posting on his Twitter account yesterday, when

:17:23. > :17:25.

:17:44. > :17:50.Another prolific striker is on good terms with the Scotland manager.

:17:50. > :17:57.But the Scotland manager has been not wanting to start the Blackburn

:17:57. > :18:01.striker. What are his thoughts? am just going to carry on doing my

:18:09. > :18:18.best that I can. He his club manager is a bit more forthcoming.

:18:18. > :18:24.It is not my decision. I can only advise this column can if they get

:18:24. > :18:31.in touch and ask me how he has done. It is the decision of Craig Levein.

:18:31. > :18:37.But you get an intelligence and a play that you do not get much of in

:18:37. > :18:40.the game. Particularly if you are the Scotland manager.

:18:40. > :18:42.Rangers will be without David Templeton for up to five weeks

:18:42. > :18:46.after the winger damaged ankle ligaments at the weekend. Ally

:19:16. > :19:25.something we will have to handle and get on with. Range as did great

:19:29. > :19:38.More a matter what Leek or what competition we are in, we are

:19:38. > :19:43.expected to win games. It is that simple. It it is not a disaster,

:19:43. > :19:49.but I do accept that we should be doing more with the ball at the

:19:49. > :19:53.moment. We should be turning these jaws into victories. Rangers now
