Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight: all smiles for Alex | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
Salmond as he tells his conference independence is closer than ever. | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
But what of his controversial plans to stick with NATO? How Scotland's | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
high street is changing with the closure of one shop every day. | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
economy is very bad right now. I can really afford to shore as much | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
as I did last year. And under pressure - Craig Levein was on | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
holiday with no decision on his future. And the Scots film-maker | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
:01:10. | :01:11. | ||
risking his life to bring dangerous Alex Salmond has opened his party | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
conference in Perth telling delegates that the nonsense will | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
end in 2014. He said only independence will protect country's | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
social fabric, under attack from Westminster. But there is a | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
controversial change to their NATO policy of the party. This, from our | :01:33. | :01:43. | |
:01:43. | :01:46. | ||
The foreign ministers enter the auditorium to sign it be an | :01:46. | :01:56. | |
:01:56. | :01:57. | ||
Then, as now, an attack on one member of Malawi is an attack on | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
all. But most of the 28 members have no capacity of their own. -- | :02:04. | :02:14. | |
:02:14. | :02:15. | ||
an attack on one member of the NATO. Within the SNP, supporters of NATO | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
say it offers a defensive shield, reassume so. They are adamant an | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
independent Scotland will only join if Trident goes. Critics say that | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
is hypocrisy. Banishing Trident yet continuing to shelter under the | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
:02:45. | :02:45. | ||
nuclear umbrella of NATO. The Cold War is over. What is it for? It is | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
a fair question to pose. The answer is, it does not have a core purpose. | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
In fact, it could potentially be destabilising. Faez Lane was chosen | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
because it is secluded with fast access to the North Atlantic. But | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
SNP leaders insist that they remain fervently anti- nuclear. They say | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
and you Scottish constitution would ban Trident. -- a new Scottish | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
constitution. This way we can literally get the best of both | :03:29. | :03:39. | |
:03:39. | :03:39. | ||
worlds. Be armed yet be a good neighbour and ally. The SNP's eyes | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
are forced on a bigger prize. -- forecasts. Not just over the years | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
of our history as a party, but the last 300 years, change awaits the | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
people of Scotland in two years time. SNP leaders say the country | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
can build on the demolition to create further powers for | :04:06. | :04:16. | |
:04:16. | :04:18. | ||
independence, including defence. -- As ever, or the SNP, everything is | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
seen through the prism of the forthcoming independence referendum. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
And a proposal for same-sex marriage endorsed by the Government | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
was the topic of a fringe meeting. Gordon Wilson, the former party | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
leader said he believed it was a blunder from the party and would be | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
damaging in the independence referendum. He called same-sex | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
marriage a nonsense. -- the policy of same-sex marriage. But ministers | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
believe it is a matter of justice and will be seen as the right | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
:05:04. | :05:05. | ||
One shop every day closes for good on Scottish high streets. One of | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
the pack is retail centres outside of London is seen the largest | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
number of closures. But is that down to the recession or online | :05:12. | :05:22. | |
shopping? To let. An increasingly familiar sign. In Glasgow, you see | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
more than most. Over 100 shops closing between January and August. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Glasgow clearly has more to lose in terms of the effect on retail. | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Looking at some of those retailers who have closed their doors, they | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
have multiple units within Glasgow. That has led to a negative effect | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
:05:54. | :05:56. | ||
on the city. 250 shops disappear, or only 175 Open. Of course, on any | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
high street, there are winners and losers. Retailers who thrive on | :06:02. | :06:12. | |
:06:12. | :06:13. | ||
theft are bucking the trend. -- thrive on thrift. There should be | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
more help for shop's. Councils should cut their rates. The economy | :06:21. | :06:30. | |
is very bad and I cannot afford to shop as much as I did last year. | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
am a nurse with a two-year pay freeze. I have to watch my pennies. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
The style of shopping is changing. The way people shop is changing and | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
will continue to do so. High streets must reinvent themselves. | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
We must look at community functions, coffee shops, the arts. It is not | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
the end of October and already retailers are thinking about | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
Christmas and hoping for an end-of- year flurry. But with a hike in | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
energy prices and the continuing increase in the cost of food, that | :07:06. | :07:16. | |

And a waiting game, as the future of Craig Levein hangs in the | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
balance. As for the women, things look a bit more relaxed as they | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
prepare for a crunch European tie The radical shake-up of the college | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
sector has been challenged by Audit Scotland. They want government | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
ministers to clarify exactly what the exercise will achieve and how | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
it will be paid for. Ross Turnbull from Edinburgh is working towards a | :08:01. | :08:05. | |

it will lead to a job and a future. But cuts have led to concerns over | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
part-time courses and more. You can hardly get a job these days. We are | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
just trying and her best. We just hope that funding keeps coming. | :08:25. | :08:34. | |
Otherwise, what future have I got? Revenue cut by 24%, capital | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
building costs, by 46%. All of this, in the space of just three years. | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
Rapid and radical restructuring - for Edinburgh colleges merging into | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
one. -- four Edinburgh colleges. Seismic changes are underway. The | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
watchdog is concerned that colleges are so tied up with the changes | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
that they lose sight of their other agenda, which is making sure that | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
courses are consistently good. Like this course in the railway | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Engineering, they should be about the skills employers want. But | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
there is a fear that changes will shock change the students. There | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
could be less contact time with lecturers, the Education Quality | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
:09:33. | :09:33. | ||
could suffer. Never fear, say ministers. We recognise the need | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
for a strategic grip of colleges. We want to make sure the case is | :09:38. | :09:48. | |

as this. Doug Allan's big break was filming penguins in Antarctica. | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
Normally, we would not be like this. Since then, not all his animal | :14:43. | :14:47. | |

Now, before the sport, an update on a story we brought you last night. | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
Royal Navy divers from Faslane has successfully recovered the last | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
remaining Scottish boat involved in the Dunkirk landings. Skylark 9 | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
helped save more than 600 troops during Operation Dynamo in May 1940. | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
It sank in the River Leven near Balloch two years ago. | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
Jonathan Sutherland is here with sports news. | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
Craig Levein's future as Scotland manager will not be discussed until | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
he returns from a week long holiday. It is understood the SFA will | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
review the World Cup campaign with him on his return. Pressure is | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
mounting on Levein after defeats to Wales and Belgium, but the Scotland | :17:24. | :17:34. | |
:17:34. | :17:34. | ||
boss has been getting some support from a colleague at the SFA. | :17:34. | :17:43. | |
The Scotland stars of the future. The next generation are overseen by | :17:43. | :17:51. | |
SFA performance directors. While at the 23rd -- while at the World Cup | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
dream of 2014 is over, there is always the future. It is important | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
to have continuity. In professional football, the manager is always | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
responsible, but you have to reflect why results are not so good. | :18:07. | :18:15. | |
Scottish fans might just have to accept that other nations are just | :18:15. | :18:25. | |
:18:25. | :18:25. | ||
better. We are not better than Belgium, Croatia are a decent side. | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
Currently, the hopes and dreams of Scotland fans outstrip the | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
realities on the pitch. For now, the waiting game over Craig | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
Levein's future continues. Scotland's women will get to play | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
at Hamdpen for the very first time this Saturday as they face Spain in | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
the first leg of their Euro 2013 play-off. Manager Anna Signeul says | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
reaching the tournament next summer would be massive for the women's | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
game, and for sport as a whole in Scotland. Jane Lewis has spent some | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
time with the squad as they prepre for the tie. | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
Scotland's women are aiming to reach their first ever major finals | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
and today's training sessions attracted some interested | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
spectators. How is everyone ahead of Saturday? | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
Everyone is fit and excited. It was good to get training today, to look | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
at Spain and see what they are going to be like against us on | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
Saturday. We are just working on our shape. But yes, a good session. | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
We are excited for Saturday. After training, it was back to the team | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
hotel and lunch. What is it like spending time in the will tell with | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
the girls? He it is good. It is good to come together and prepare a | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
proper live. Everyone gets on well together. It is a good team spirit. | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
In the afternoon, while some headed for the treatment table, others | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
find time to relax. No such luxury for the women up trying to | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
mastermind a win over Spain. This is the room per you will be giving | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
your team talk. What will you be telling your players about Spain? | :20:07. | :20:16. | |
We will say that Spain is a very skilful team. They want to keep the | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
ball. They are very technical. We will tell them as much as we think | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
the players should know, sometimes we do not tell them everything. | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
no doubt, she will be telling her players that the team can win this | :20:32. | :20:42. | |

Glasgow Warriors winger Tommy Seymour will miss his club's | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
Heineken Cup match against Ulster tomorrow night. Seymour has been | :20:49. | :20:51. | |

Preparations are underway for tomorrow one night's much. Warriors | :21:01. | :21:07. | |

professional probably. -- at Rugby. You have to win your home games. | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
And that is something that we need to do on the Park this week. This | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
will be Glasgow's first Heineken Cup match here at Scotstoun stadium | :21:36. | :21:45. | |
in Glasgow. The Warriors hope that a capacity crowd will cheer them on. | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
It is always good to play in front of your home fans. It adds to the | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
occasion. We were disappointed last week against Northampton. We are | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
looking to put things right against Ulster. These stands will be full | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
tomorrow right. Glasgow's fans hoping that the European dream | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
remains intact. BBC Scotland are looking to reward | :22:17. | :22:27. | |

people generally take up the guitar or even would work. -- woodwork. | :23:27. | :23:35. | |
But Kirk Watson decided to make a horror movie after seeing a script | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
written by a doctor. He knows what the injuries would look like, what | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
their blood would look like. We were looking with children's body | :23:47. | :23:57. | |
