:01:15. > :01:19.Good Evening. The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said that a no
:01:20. > :01:22.vote in the independence referendum is not a vote for no change. In his
:01:23. > :01:25.address to the Scottish Conservative conference he said that he and the
:01:26. > :01:28.Tories' Scottish leader, Ruth Davidson, believe giving Holyrood
:01:29. > :01:35.greater responsibility for raising the money it spends is the "right
:01:36. > :01:44.thing to do". From the conference in Edinburgh, here's our political
:01:45. > :01:49.correspondent, Glenn Campbell. It's becoming an old political joke
:01:50. > :01:56.that the more pandas in Scotland than Conservative MPs. The party is
:01:57. > :01:59.not universally popular here. The Prime Minister of the United
:02:00. > :02:04.Kingdom, David Cameron. At least David Cameron can count on a welcome
:02:05. > :02:08.from his Scottish party, and he says they have the character to overcome
:02:09. > :02:15.adversity. It is about having a stout heart, and unwavering gaze,
:02:16. > :02:21.and skin has thick and impenetrable as the SNP's White Paper on
:02:22. > :02:26.independence. The independence debate dominated his speech. It will
:02:27. > :02:31.be the last Scottish Conservative conference before the referendum. It
:02:32. > :02:34.will decide whether Scotland becomes an independent country or sticks
:02:35. > :02:41.with the union. There will be no going back, no second chances. We
:02:42. > :02:45.face a monumental battle to keep our United Kingdom together. The
:02:46. > :02:49.referendum he said was a life changing decision for which voters
:02:50. > :02:56.must be fully informed. Voting no, he said, was not a vote for no
:02:57. > :03:06.change. Vote yes, that is total separation. But no, that can mean
:03:07. > :03:08.further devolution, more power. But with the crucial insurance policy
:03:09. > :03:15.that comes with being part of the United Kingdom. Earlier, he visited
:03:16. > :03:21.insurance workers at one of Edinburgh's financial firms. He want
:03:22. > :03:27.him voters to listen to business bosses who have questioned
:03:28. > :03:31.independence. Back at conference, confectionery. Mr Cameron hopes that
:03:32. > :03:37.what some will see as his referendum sweetener to get Holyrood the power
:03:38. > :03:41.to raise more of the money it spends will prove a popular alternative to
:03:42. > :03:44.independence. In response, the Yes Campaign said
:03:45. > :03:51.that Mr Cameron's speech had actually been good for their cause.
:03:52. > :03:54.This is the Prime Minister of a Government that we did not vote
:03:55. > :03:59.for, imposing policies on Scotland that we don't like and that he
:04:00. > :04:03.consistently reject. It is useful for the Yes Campaign to have a
:04:04. > :04:06.constant reminder from Cameron and his other ministers of why we need
:04:07. > :04:09.to be independent. Our political editor Brian Taylor
:04:10. > :04:12.joins me now from Edinburgh. We've heard the Prime Minister talking
:04:13. > :04:20.about more tax powers for the Scottish Parliament. How firm an
:04:21. > :04:24.offer does this sound to you, Brian? It is being discussed. You heard of
:04:25. > :04:29.air that the Prime Minister said can, not a will, with regard to more
:04:30. > :04:32.devolution. That has led his opponents, those who advocate
:04:33. > :04:38.independence to say there is wriggle room. It is not a firm offer. Aides
:04:39. > :04:43.to the Prime Minister are adamant that this is not the case, that this
:04:44. > :04:47.is a firm offer that can means well and it was choreographed, if you
:04:48. > :04:53.like, to set out that offer. It would work like this, we are
:04:54. > :04:57.expecting the Strathclyde Commission in May, she said to me in an
:04:58. > :05:02.interview that she is firmly in favour of more tax powers for the
:05:03. > :05:07.Scottish Parliament, allowing her to offer credibly a reduction in
:05:08. > :05:12.taxation and we heard from the Prime Minister the formula he uses, he
:05:13. > :05:17.says Ruth Davidson wants the powers and I do, too. One, it bolsters the
:05:18. > :05:20.position of Ruth Davidson and at counters are those in the party who
:05:21. > :05:27.did not fancy devolution much in the first place and may not fancy going
:05:28. > :05:32.further. The stress here is that this is definitely all definitely
:05:33. > :05:37.will be about a firm offer of new powers coming. They say to one
:05:38. > :05:43.further thing, if you have more tax powers, then you can begin to
:05:44. > :05:49.squeeze the relevance of the Barnett formula perhaps to the advantage and
:05:50. > :05:56.with the support of those in the Conservatives in the south. Thank
:05:57. > :05:59.you very much. 20 British soldiers, killed in
:06:00. > :06:03.action during the First World War, have been laid to rest with full
:06:04. > :06:07.military honours in France, almost 100 years after they died. Nine of
:06:08. > :06:10.them were Scots, but only one has been identified. He was Private
:06:11. > :06:12.William McAleer, from Fife, who was serving with the Royal Scottish
:06:13. > :06:20.Fusiliers. He died with the others during the battle of Loos in 1915.
:06:21. > :06:23.Steven Godden reports. To the strains of a Piper 's
:06:24. > :06:28.lament, a young Scottish soldier is at last carried towards his final
:06:29. > :06:34.resting place, following the 1915 Battle of Loos, Private William
:06:35. > :06:40.McAleer was amongst the many missing and so it remained for nearly one
:06:41. > :06:45.century until a chance discovery allowed his sacrifice and that of 19
:06:46. > :06:55.others to be fully recognised. We remember before him our brothers
:06:56. > :07:00.whose names are known only to God. The bodies were discovered four
:07:01. > :07:04.years ago. Only ten could be identified out of 20 by regiment,
:07:05. > :07:10.but in one case a set of metal tax pointed the way from northern France
:07:11. > :07:14.to fight. Private William McAleer was just 22 when he was killed on
:07:15. > :07:21.the battlefield in France. He had been born in Lieven, and here there
:07:22. > :07:28.is no record of his name among those etched in stone. Attending this
:07:29. > :07:34.morning's ceremony, a distant relative from Fife, himself a former
:07:35. > :07:44.soldier. Yellow it is a closure in a sense when you do not have a body to
:07:45. > :07:49.bury. All of these years later, the officer doesn't have any this family
:07:50. > :07:58.left, but his descendant, me, it's you. It is an honour to come along.
:07:59. > :08:01.A parting salute for the unknown soldiers and the Private William
:08:02. > :08:08.McAleer a lasting reminder of a young life lost far from home.

:08:21. > :08:24.And it's all about this old trophy this weekend, the League Cup Final
:08:25. > :08:28.is at Celtic Park on Sunday, and it's almost turned into a battle of
:08:29. > :08:36.the bands. But which side will be singing come Sunday night?
:08:37. > :08:41.It's been a long campaign with many setbacks, but today plans for a
:08:42. > :08:44.Scottish film studio received official backing from a report
:08:45. > :08:48.commissioned by Scottish Enterprise. It follows a recent surge of
:08:49. > :08:55.interest in filming here. Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean
:08:56. > :09:01.reports. Last summer, David Tennant is on
:09:02. > :09:07.location near Loch Lomond. It is lovely to film in Scotland. At all,
:09:08. > :09:11.it is particularly nice when the weather is fine and we are in a
:09:12. > :09:16.beautiful location like this. It is hard to beat. Today's report
:09:17. > :09:21.suggests that more than nice locations are needed, they need a
:09:22. > :09:26.studio. The time is right. I am ambitious for Scotland. I want to
:09:27. > :09:29.see this as a significant step forward and I think everyone is
:09:30. > :09:32.anxious to see the studio built in Scotland. It identifies four
:09:33. > :09:45.possible locations. New buildings at , or expanding existing facilities
:09:46. > :09:49.in Cumbernauld. It is home to film city, a
:09:50. > :09:55.production centre that lady has plans to expand. Before, you had
:09:56. > :10:00.people disappearing off round the world. What you have here is Film
:10:01. > :10:04.City, we're been here for ten years and we have been driving this. We
:10:05. > :10:09.have stayed with it. I think that is why it is about to happen. This is
:10:10. > :10:14.the latest Scottish film to be released in cinemas today. Its
:10:15. > :10:24.producer believes a studio would attract other big names and budgets.
:10:25. > :10:35.He is co-producing Star Wars at the moment, it being Glasgow. Under The

:12:55. > :13:01.They are planning for a greener future on Mull and a more problems

:13:08. > :13:13.It might It might not look much but harnessing the power of these
:13:14. > :13:17.waters, will allow islanders to generate electricity and cash. Cash
:13:18. > :13:20.to be spent on much-needed community projects.
:13:21. > :13:25.And all of that is only possible because of the innovative way this
:13:26. > :13:30.scheme is being funded. We can sell shares to the public, but those
:13:31. > :13:34.shares are at a fixed value, so you are investing in the scheme rather
:13:35. > :13:39.than donating in the scheme. Your investment will have a return rate
:13:40. > :13:42.of about 4% a year, so your money will earn a better rate than if it
:13:43. > :13:47.was in the bank or building society at the moment. The scheme here on
:13:48. > :13:53.Mull is far from unique. Communities elsewhere in Scotland are developing
:13:54. > :13:58.similar projects. We are talking about community scale, maybe 100 to
:13:59. > :14:05.500 kilowatts which is quite small. They work by generating power
:14:06. > :14:08.through the passage of water, through turbine, and then by and
:14:09. > :14:13.large selling, County Counciling and selling that to the National Grid.
:14:14. > :14:18.Islanders are already discussing how to invest the cash. It is a play
:14:19. > :14:22.park but it is not in very good condition, it could do with new
:14:23. > :14:25.equipment and stuff, things like that, to give people stuff to do.
:14:26. > :14:32.Tourists when they come up. Blue skies are good news for visitors.
:14:33. > :14:39.But it will be wet summers which help the hydroscheme generate more
:14:40. > :14:43.cash for islanders. Despite HIV willing in one of best
:14:44. > :14:47.seasons for downhill skiing it has been one of the worst for Nordic or
:14:48. > :14:53.King's Cross skiing, the biggest centre for the sport in Scotland, at
:14:54. > :15:00.Huntly has had just 23 ski days this year, compared with over 100 last
:15:01. > :15:06.year. For the down hill resorts, this has been a bumper season, as
:15:07. > :15:11.early as January, the Glencoe centre was reporting one of the best
:15:12. > :15:17.winters for years. But here in Aberdeenshire, it is not
:15:18. > :15:22.so good. These tracks are normally busy with cross-country skier, but
:15:23. > :15:26.as you can see, there is one vital ingredient missing. One, two, three.
:15:27. > :15:31.Here they have the next best thing. This season, they have had just 23
:15:32. > :15:35.snow days. Compared with more than 100 in three
:15:36. > :15:39.of the last five years. It allows potential Olympians to
:15:40. > :15:43.continue training. But it is still disappointing. The last couple of
:15:44. > :15:47.years where we have had a lot of snow, it has been more exciting for
:15:48. > :15:53.everybody, the coaches are able to do more and the kids get maybe a bit
:15:54. > :15:59.more out of it, being on snow, but, yeah, we experienced no snow years
:16:00. > :16:07.before. Here is Andrew pus grave. The programme at Huntly has done the
:16:08. > :16:10.town proud. Team GB's four cross-country skiers all came from
:16:11. > :16:16.the town and remember it fondly I remember skiing round in the
:16:17. > :16:20.forests, where we used to go skiing outside Huntly and wouldn't have
:16:21. > :16:27.been able to see that we are going to the Olympics when you looked at
:16:28. > :16:32.us when we were 12. Poll those following Hizb ut-Tahrir tracks it
:16:33. > :16:37.is necessary We will put on roller ski races on the Tarmac track here,
:16:38. > :16:41.and skiers from recreational, through to the elite skiers will use
:16:42. > :16:45.the facilities for training on. Unless the sun disappears it looks
:16:46. > :16:48.like this will be the most skiing they get.
:16:49. > :16:53.--. Following his tracks. Let us get the
:16:54. > :16:58.weekend sport now from Jonathan. Here we go. It will be an exciting
:16:59. > :17:02.weekend, that is for sure. It has been two decades since Aberdeen

:17:06. > :17:09.Caledonian Thistle in the final of the League Cup. Ahead of the game
:17:10. > :17:13.good news for dons fands. Derek McInnes has signed a two-year

:17:23. > :17:28.Business has been brisk at the FC shop, Sunday's final can't come
:17:29. > :17:32.quick enough. It is my first game. I don't know what to expect. I am
:17:33. > :17:38.looking forward to it. Deservedly we are in the final, hopefully we will
:17:39. > :17:41.win it. Too many years Glasgow has dominated the football scene. It is
:17:42. > :17:47.about time we got Aberdeen back up there again. Dyed-in-the-wool Dons
:17:48. > :17:52.fan Paul pulled out of the Morroccan open to make sure he was at Celtic
:17:53. > :17:58.Park I love my football. I go to away games and Pittodrie as much as

:18:37. > :18:45.a prematch booster. Derek McInnes extending his stay at Pittodrie.
:18:46. > :18:48.Aberdeen expects. Well Inverness expect as well. They
:18:49. > :18:52.have been cast as underdogs in the final, they trail Aberdeen in the
:18:53. > :18:57.Premiership, plus they will have far fewer fans in the stadium, but Caley
:18:58. > :19:01.Thistle are in no doubt they can win. Cup Final fever has gripped the
:19:02. > :19:06.high land capital. Into their first major Cup Final,
:19:07. > :19:09.courtesy of a last minute goal against Hearts and a penalty
:19:10. > :19:12.shoot-out is a fitting achievement for Inverness Caledonian Thistle on
:19:13. > :19:15.this, their 20th birthday. The largest collection of their fans
:19:16. > :19:19.will be heading down to Glasgow, including one who has come all the
:19:20. > :19:24.way from Australia. It is a once in a lifetime. They won't have a first
:19:25. > :19:28.major final again, I would be kicking myself if I didn't. The
:19:29. > :19:34.occasion is being marked in a number of way, including the lighting up of
:19:35. > :19:39.landmarks in Inverness Caledonian Thistle colours and a football song
:19:40. > :19:42.has been recorded The song has that modern feel as well. That
:19:43. > :19:46.encapsulates that feeling at the club and the youth of the club and
:19:47. > :19:50.the vigour of the club. As well as having rock on their side they also
:19:51. > :19:56.have roll, well, at least a maker of rolls. It is a sugar fix, you know
:19:57. > :20:00.and the players could consider having one on Sunday, and help them
:20:01. > :20:04.on their way to winning the cup. Give them some real energy.
:20:05. > :20:09.Caley Thistle got through to the final despite having two players
:20:10. > :20:12.sent off and there is a perception other decisions is often seem to go
:20:13. > :20:17.against them. I don't think a lot of people want us in that Cup Final,
:20:18. > :20:21.because we are not glamorous enough. We don't have enough supporters but
:20:22. > :20:29.we are there. We will turn up and give it our best shot. Hopefully we
:20:30. > :20:32.can do a giant killing act and with autothe massive odds against it and
:20:33. > :20:35.bring the cup back to Inverness # You speak of past glories of your

:22:37. > :22:43.sure the trophy will be heading north somewhere. Reasonable
:22:44. > :22:47.prediction! What is described as the world's largest collection of Willy
:22:48. > :22:52.Wonka and the Chocolate Factory memorabilia goes on display, from
:22:53. > :22:57.golden eggs to ever lasting gobstopper, fans of the 1971
:22:58. > :23:03.children's classic are being promised a Willy Wonka experience.
:23:04. > :23:08.Hold your breath. Make a wish. Count to three.
:23:09. > :23:13.Willy Wonka's magical chocolate factory sparked many a childhood
:23:14. > :23:17.fantasy. But this fan has taken that fantasy further than most. Buying up
:23:18. > :23:23.thousands of items from the 1971 film. It is the chance for the fans
:23:24. > :23:29.to come and meet the cast, see the props up close, because they have
:23:30. > :23:34.never been on display, and just have a fun, fun night, with as I say the
:23:35. > :23:39.cast members of the movie and they get to try the lickable wallpaper,

:23:51. > :23:53.For fans without a sweet tooth original scores can and scripts add
:23:54. > :23:58.historical substance. This is the first time any of this has been seen
:23:59. > :24:03.in the UK. Stars from the film are also gathering to share their
:24:04. > :24:07.memories. Working with Charlie, in the home and the relationship with
:24:08. > :24:14.the mother and the son, I enjoyed that a lot, that was fun to do, and
:24:15. > :24:18.that was meaningful to me, to do, because he, that time it was about
:24:19. > :24:23.the age of one of my girls. One of these ever lasting gobstoppers will
:24:24. > :24:28.set you back round 50,000 $, but in terms of rarity value, this is the
:24:29. > :24:39.last surviving bar. Let us move on to the weather.
:24:40. > :24:44.Good evening, well it was a fairly cloudy day in most of the country,
:24:45. > :24:49.and also a fairly breezy day, across the north coast and the northern
:24:50. > :24:53.isle, in excess of 60, 70mph. Even through the central belt 53mph this
:24:54. > :24:56.afternoon. And the reason why, well, if we look at the pressure chart we
:24:57. > :25:01.can see high pressure in the south-west, and a relatively deep
:25:02. > :25:05.low up to the North East, in between a squeeze on the isobars indicating
:25:06. > :25:09.the strong winds we have seen. And as we head through the rest of the
:25:10. > :25:14.afternoon, this oeuvrening and overnight it stays windy and cloudy
:25:15. > :25:16.with rain, nothing too heavy and clearer skies in the north, as we
:25:17. > :25:20.head through the first part of the night, but the cloud and the wet
:25:21. > :25:24.weather extends to reach most place, it won't be a cold night.
:25:25. > :25:27.Temperatures for most round about five to eight Celsius. So what about
:25:28. > :25:32.the weekend? Looking to Saturday and it is a bit of a cloudy one,
:25:33. > :25:35.certainly across most of the country, with wet weather in western
:25:36. > :25:40.area, the further east you are generally drier and brighter here,
:25:41. > :25:44.and still a bit breezy but not as windy. As we head through to the
:25:45. > :25:47.afternoon, central southern and eastern part, it will be that bit
:25:48. > :25:52.drier, with holes developing in the cloud and where the bright or sunny
:25:53. > :25:56.skies develop we could see highs of 13 or 14 degrees. The further west
:25:57. > :25:59.you are with the cloudier condition, temperatures round ten or 11 and
:26:00. > :26:03.continued outbreaks of light and patchy rain through the high land
:26:04. > :26:08.and islands. Damp for Orkney and Shetland but not as windy as we have
:26:09. > :26:12.seen. So, if you are hill walking or climbing, the common notable theme
:26:13. > :26:16.will be the wind. Those are the steady speeds coming from the west
:26:17. > :26:19.or the north-west round 60mph, but at times gusting much stronger then
:26:20. > :26:24.that, and certainly in the eastern range, through the Cairngorms we
:26:25. > :26:28.could see gusts round 100mph on the summit, and elsewhere on the eastern
:26:29. > :26:30.range, the further south and east you are the drier and brighter
:26:31. > :26:35.conditions hopefully. So, the rest of the afternoon into the evening
:26:36. > :26:39.and overnight, and you can see it stays similar really, fairly cloudy
:26:40. > :26:43.for most with the damp conditions in the north-west, still breezy too
:26:44. > :26:47.from the west or the north-west. And looking ahead to the second half of
:26:48. > :26:51.the weekend on Sunday, the high pressure still with us to the
:26:52. > :26:55.south-west, a bit too far away to exert any influence, we still see a
:26:56. > :26:58.fair amount of cloud round, the further east you are, drier,
:26:59. > :27:03.brighter, sunshine coming through, and in that sunshine, we could well
:27:04. > :27:07.see 16 degrees through some parts of Aberdeenshire, so for some it will
:27:08. > :27:12.be pleasant. Elsewhere cloudy and damp.
:27:13. > :27:14.Now the main news. The Prime Minister has told the
:27:15. > :27:20.Scottish Conservative conference that if there is a no vote in the
:27:21. > :27:23.Independence Referendum Holyrood are could get more tax powers and
:27:24. > :27:26.tributes have been paid to Tony Benn, the leading voice of the
:27:27. > :27:32.radical left for more than 50 year, he has died at the age of 88.
:27:33. > :27:36.And that is Reporting Scotland. I will be back with the headlines at
:27:37. > :27:41.eight and the late bulletin just after the Ten O'Clock News. Until
:27:42. > :27:44.then, have a very good evening. Goodbye.
