:01:23. > :01:25.set up a new state, including embassies and defence forces.

:01:28. > :01:30.between Edinburgh and London on carving up existing assets,
:01:31. > :01:35.and accused his rivals of inventing figures to suit their agenda.
:01:36. > :01:42.This from our political editor, Brian Taylor.
:01:43. > :01:48.On the streets, Alistair Darling promotes the claim that independence
:01:49. > :01:52.would cost you dearly. In Parliament, Alex Salmond says the
:01:53. > :01:58.claim is undermined as Treasury estimates of start-up costs have

:02:04. > :02:09.work was used. What is the costing of setting up a new state? I find it
:02:10. > :02:13.worrying that the First Minister has no intention of telling the people
:02:14. > :02:20.of Scotland how his paperclip economics add up. Alex Salmond said
:02:21. > :02:27.he would go with around 250 million, the revised version. When the two

:02:59. > :03:04.there is no way back. Alex Salmond focused instead on the games of
:03:05. > :03:10.independence. A 0.3 increase on productivity. A better balance of
:03:11. > :03:13.the working age population, increasing employment by 3.5%. His

:03:22. > :03:27.Where does this leave us? It goes into a period of
:03:28. > :03:32.evangelising, evangelising their competing visions right up to the
:03:33. > :03:37.September deadline. The critics of Alex Salmond say he must know the
:03:38. > :03:43.start-up costs and they claim there must be a secret documents. Alex

:03:55. > :04:01.This talks about the costs being dependent on the negotiations with
:04:02. > :04:04.London. It is argued again in the First Minister that this could be
:04:05. > :04:09.done reasonably moderately and he accuses his opponents of making up
:04:10. > :04:13.figures in the Treasury documents. This has been a significant fight,
:04:14. > :04:16.but a significant step on the way to the referendum.

:05:02. > :05:07.considering a career in the Air Ambulance service. He wasn't giving
:05:08. > :05:11.anything away. His interest was at, but he obviously cares for people
:05:12. > :05:19.and you can see that in the way he was asking questions, so who knows?
:05:20. > :05:23.I think he would be a great asset. On the other side of the playing

:06:50. > :06:53.Our Commonwealth Games reporter, Lisa Summers, is with me now.
:06:54. > :07:00.Lisa, what do we know about what happened last night?
:07:01. > :07:07.It was an elderly man that made the call to paramedics. He lives on the
:07:08. > :07:12.state upset the Athletes' Village. In recent days, the street has been

:07:18. > :07:21.The paramedics turned up and security officials redirected them
:07:22. > :07:27.into another entrance, the ambulance service said to me this evening that
:07:28. > :07:32.it did not result in any delay to the man's treatment and the man is
:07:33. > :07:36.in a stable condition, but talking to local people in Dalmarnock, there
:07:37. > :07:39.seems to be a growing frustration about getting closer to the games
:07:40. > :07:46.and that their needs are getting overlooked. How do we get them into
:07:47. > :07:53.our community? They seem to be... They did a dummy
:07:54. > :07:59.run, with fire engines, they let them in, but they did not let in the
:08:00. > :08:06.ambulance. People cannot get out to do their shopping just now as there
:08:07. > :08:12.are no amenities here. People cannot access people. The council needs to

:10:27. > :10:36.cannot get past the sadness and the shock. The park is peaceful now, a
:10:37. > :10:42.place for people to enjoy. But in May 2008, Moira Jones' body was
:10:43. > :10:47.found in the bushes. The park became a crime scene. Less than a year
:10:48. > :10:52.later, the man from Slovakia was convicted and jailed for at least 25
:10:53. > :10:57.years. Now the family wants to celebrate Moira's life, they are
:10:58. > :11:02.organising a charity run in the park and are hoping that the community
:11:03. > :11:07.will join in. Moira's death was such a tragedy for a family and so many
:11:08. > :11:12.people in the community felt they owned part of it. They felt it was
:11:13. > :11:16.such a dreadful thing to happen in a park they love. People are often
:11:17. > :11:23.very fearful when these things happen, but it is rare and so we
:11:24. > :11:27.wanted to take the park back. For now, as Bee Jones Ramblers Moira,

:15:55. > :16:00.impulses and her love for both parents, and where she wanted to go.
:16:01. > :16:04.That kind of exciting idea of something new and magnificent. The
:16:05. > :16:10.latest act is that Molly is now back in Scotland, living with her mother.
:16:11. > :16:15.We finish each other's sentences. We know what each other is thinking. We

:17:25. > :17:28.New ride on the edge but within your limits. Here you have all the mud
:17:29. > :17:35.everywhere so you have to let the bike move. The skill level has to be
:17:36. > :17:44.high. Every race is different. Here we are in Scotland at them go to
:17:45. > :17:46.France, Italy, America, Canada... For the 600 elite riders who have
:17:47. > :18:00.travelled here, there is a unique challenge. It is not as muddy for
:18:01. > :18:05.us. France... This one is going to be fun. Different and exciting. It
:18:06. > :18:09.is challenging. The weather made it very challenging. The speed is not
:18:10. > :18:14.that high because of the mud. But other than that it is a good
:18:15. > :18:18.challenge downhill here. Mountain biking at this level is big
:18:19. > :18:22.business. This is one trailer for one of the teams. These bikes are
:18:23. > :18:27.worth several thousand pounds each. There is an area for the rider, a
:18:28. > :18:33.kitchen, bedroom, an area for the sponsors as well. Seeing some of the
:18:34. > :18:40.best riders in the world is just one of the reasons why the TweedLove is
:18:41. > :18:44.now the biggest in the UK. Next stop after all of this, the Alps. But

:18:55. > :18:58.The national side are unbeaten in six matches after last night's
:18:59. > :19:19.Good touch there! Right from the start, Scotland's attacking intent
:19:20. > :19:23.was clear. Much of the talk before the game centred on match fixing
:19:24. > :19:27.allegations. Not sure how you could fix an effort like this for the
:19:28. > :19:33.first goal, despite Charlie Mulgrew's clever flick, he was not
:19:34. > :19:38.wholly satisfied. A lot of positives but we can do better. We have passed
:19:39. > :19:43.the ball better than that. We have passed it good at times but we can
:19:44. > :19:47.pass it better. Scotland's luck could have been better. This was one
:19:48. > :19:51.of two disallowed goals. Nigeria are off to the World Cup soon and did
:19:52. > :19:57.not want to go on the back of a defeat, but a big deflection was
:19:58. > :20:04.needed here to get past Allan McGregor in goal. Scotland were
:20:05. > :20:07.level at half-time but ahead again shortly afterwards, when there was
:20:08. > :20:19.an own goal from the Nigerian defence. And it was a lead that
:20:20. > :20:22.lasted right until the end of the match, when Uche Nwofor denied
:20:23. > :20:27.Scotland another victory. It was pretty good. Better than pretty
:20:28. > :20:39.good. They're terrific performance. Great imagination. Good play against
:20:40. > :20:42.a big, good side. It has been a great journey in the last year. We
:20:43. > :20:49.are starting to look more like a club side. Scotland is in good

:24:25. > :24:30.is a lot of affection for it. People were keen to see it brought back
:24:31. > :24:34.into active use. Abandoned and derelict, it has taken years to

:24:45. > :24:48.big names lined up to play there this summer. They have been closely
:24:49. > :24:57.involved in the campaign, but others took some convincing. We have had to
:24:58. > :25:03.send to some of the agents pictures to explain what it is. One of the
:25:04. > :25:06.managers sought a rich online of the old dilapidated Bandstand and said,
:25:07. > :25:14.we're not playing there! We had to explain. The venue will also be used
:25:15. > :25:19.during the Commonwealth Games and as before in the local community. Some
:25:20. > :25:24.will remember this place from pop gigs in the 1970s, others from

:25:33. > :25:39.Let's see how the weather is shaping up.
:25:40. > :25:45.Things settling down nicely for the weekend as we see this area of high
:25:46. > :25:52.pressure already pushing across northern Scotland. Pushing any cloud
:25:53. > :25:57.away to the side at the moment. This weather front is approaching,
:25:58. > :26:04.bringing outbreaks of rain. A lovely evening across northern parts of the
:26:05. > :26:08.country. Cloud across southern parts, which will break up. Mist and
:26:09. > :26:15.low cloud pushing into the Northern Isles. Also the northern coastal
:26:16. > :26:22.areas. Temperatures are bit cooler than we have seen of late.
:26:23. > :26:29.Potentially even down to two Celsius across rural parts. Tomorrow starts
:26:30. > :26:32.drive, and bright. The mist and cloud across northern parts burns
:26:33. > :26:39.off. It may take longer across the Northern Isles. The sunshine becomes
:26:40. > :26:46.more hazy. Cloud filling in a little during the course of the day. The
:26:47. > :26:51.cloud will burn off eventually across the Northern Isles.
:26:52. > :26:57.Across-the-board, a fairly pleasant day. The best of the sunshine for
:26:58. > :27:04.coastal areas and across the North East, too. Temperatures pretty much
:27:05. > :27:08.around the seasonal average. Very little changes through the rest of
:27:09. > :27:12.the daylight hours. Holding on to the daylight conditions. Possibly
:27:13. > :27:15.more sunshine through the evening. Dry overnight with clear spells as
:27:16. > :27:19.well and mist returning to northern parts, too.
:27:20. > :27:25.Saturday starts off similar to tomorrow. Once again we will see
:27:26. > :27:31.cloud building up during the course of the day, maybe producing the odd
:27:32. > :27:35.light shower. Starting off dry and bright on
:27:36. > :27:36.Sunday and the rain in the West pushing across the western part of
:27:37. > :27:48.the country. The headlines: Campaigners for the
:27:49. > :27:50.union have challenged the First Minister to set out how much it will
:27:51. > :28:00.cost to set out a new state. Back at 8pm and just after the ten
