about patient safety at one of the country's August hospitals.

:00:15.:00:26.

-- biggest. 70 years later memories of the Scots who fought and died in

:00:27.:00:33.

the D-Day landings. You just wondered how many you would

:00:34.:00:44.

ever see, all those body bags. Celtic have a new manager. A warm

:00:45.:00:50.

reception for running style as he outlines his plans. -- Ronny Deila.

:00:51.:01:00.

I want to play offensive football with the game under control, on the

:01:01.:01:07.

ball, creating chances. Andy Murray is unhappy with his

:01:08.:01:10.

performance as humans is to Rafa Nadal in the French Open semifinal.

:01:11.:01:24.

-- he loses. Good evening. A doctors at one of

:01:25.:01:29.

Scotland's largest hospitals have warned that patient safety could be

:01:30.:01:37.

at risk because of a lack of staff. Senior consultant at Aberdeen

:01:38.:01:40.

infirmary say they may not be able to continue resuscitating seriously

:01:41.:01:43.

ill patients without an increase in the number of. Does. -- of doctors.

:01:44.:01:55.

Another patient arriving by helicopter, a genuine emergency. But

:01:56.:02:00.

an increasing number of people coming through the doors are locked

:02:01.:02:03.

and that is putting pressure on those who work here. -- and not.

:02:04.:02:13.

There is a doctor shortage in these consultants described as an

:02:14.:02:15.

increasing threat to emergency medicine.

:02:16.:02:23.

NHS Grampian were told that there is good evidence:

:02:24.:02:30.

and another said that: this problem must be addressed long term.

:02:31.:02:48.

It is a warning shot. But I can assure you we can cover the slots by

:02:49.:02:58.

August to keep people in safe. This emergency care centre is meant

:02:59.:03:03.

to provide round-the-clock cover but doctors are warning of an

:03:04.:03:05.

increasingly heavy workload and say their primary role is are at risk.

:03:06.:03:15.

Professor Graham Page has 30 years experience dating back to the Piper

:03:16.:03:20.

Alpha tragedy. Over the retired he said that there is a genuine concern

:03:21.:03:23.

about the pressures being placed on consultants.

:03:24.:03:30.

Such is the workload that they feel that on occasion naturally it is

:03:31.:03:38.

unsafe to work on. Long-standing consultants have recently resigned

:03:39.:03:41.

because they feel that on occasion it has been unsafe for them.

:03:42.:03:47.

The Health Secretary said the number of doctors working in emergency

:03:48.:03:50.

wards has increased but opponents say more action is needed.

:03:51.:03:57.

NHS Grampian say they have filled three vacancies and confident the

:03:58.:04:01.

rest will follow but describe this as a patchwork solution.

:04:02.:04:12.

Our health correspondent joins me. Is this an isolated problem?

:04:13.:04:19.

We know there is a national shortage because of long hours and heavy

:04:20.:04:26.

workload. This week in Glasgow managers had to personally apologise

:04:27.:04:29.

to patients left lying on trolleys overnight because of what they

:04:30.:04:35.

described as an unprecedented surge in demand. The same has happened in

:04:36.:04:41.

Aberdeen. We know that some departments have struggled for

:04:42.:04:45.

several years now and demand and waiting time targets. The Scottish

:04:46.:04:52.

government has been heavily investing, millions of pounds in A

:04:53.:04:57.

care. It has also put in place action plans to help cope with as he

:04:58.:05:04.

periods but this situation suggests something more fundamental must be

:05:05.:05:12.

done. The 51st Highland division was one

:05:13.:05:15.

of the first fighting forces into France on D-Day. Attempting to gain

:05:16.:05:23.

revenge for their surrender to the Germans for years earlier. And many

:05:24.:05:29.

more Scots in the merchant Navy and Navy forces ferrying the men across

:05:30.:05:34.

the Channel. It became known as the longest day.

:05:35.:05:52.

On a June day it was the greatest invasion force ever assembled. From

:05:53.:06:00.

the shore, German cameras witnessed the arrival of determined at the

:06:01.:06:06.

service. The 51st Highland division was forced to surrender at Dunkirk.

:06:07.:06:14.

Merchant Navy vessels from the Clyde brought them back after four years.

:06:15.:06:21.

A surprising number of men given that the hazard ahead of us was

:06:22.:06:24.

going to be so perilous, we knew this, we just wondered how many body

:06:25.:06:34.

bags we would see on the Clyde. Seven decades later Scots who

:06:35.:06:40.

survived the longest day were back in Normandy carrying their age with

:06:41.:06:48.

their medals and remembering those others.

:06:49.:06:55.

Give them the life that knows no age.

:06:56.:07:01.

On a hillside somewhere in Perthshire, a wartime secret.

:07:02.:07:06.

British surveillance created a replica of the German defences.

:07:07.:07:18.

Today, tourists gain understanding. The only way you could crack this is

:07:19.:07:25.

for infantry to get on top. Of course, they did, and drove the

:07:26.:07:35.

Germans back. 70 years on, a time for celebration and to remember

:07:36.:07:36.

those who did not come back. Simon McCoy has spent the day and

:07:37.:08:04.

are has this report. A mixture of formal and informal

:08:05.:08:07.

event to mark the anniversary of D-Day. A sense of celebration and

:08:08.:08:14.

pride in those who made the ultimate sacrifice, fighting and dying on the

:08:15.:08:18.

beaches of Normandy. World leaders have gathered here near beaches

:08:19.:08:27.

which became synonymous with the coverage of Allied forces landing on

:08:28.:08:34.

June six, 1944. Among the leaders here in France, Scotland's first

:08:35.:08:40.

Minister, Alex Salmond. The Queen laid a wreath. They met hundreds of

:08:41.:08:48.

veterans. Memories of the many thousands of Scottish troops who

:08:49.:08:51.

made the journey across the Channel to fight for their country on the

:08:52.:08:56.

north coast of France. The landings were the first stage in the invasion

:08:57.:09:06.

of Maxi occupied Europe -- Nazi, eventually helping to bring an end

:09:07.:09:11.

to the war. But it came at a heavy price with many Scots not coming

:09:12.:09:16.

home. After weeks of intense speculation

:09:17.:09:20.

Celtic have a new manager, Norwegian Ronny Deila.

:09:21.:09:31.

Yes, and the new man, he says he is proud to be in charge of the club.

:09:32.:09:43.

He described his move as fantastic. The Celtic chief executive described

:09:44.:09:46.

the new manager as the outstanding candidate. He certainly made an

:09:47.:09:54.

impact with a touch of theatre to his entrance.

:09:55.:10:01.

We will call this a rival act one. The new boss being driven to the

:10:02.:10:07.

stadium amidst the cheering supporters before entering Celtic

:10:08.:10:10.

Park with a friendly greeting. Act two, addressing the media.

:10:11.:10:18.

My philosophy is to play offensive football. I want the game under

:10:19.:10:25.

control with the ball, possession and creating chances. Especially at

:10:26.:10:31.

home games, we will give the supporters entertaining football.

:10:32.:10:38.

Celtic revealed why they appointed a young and relatively inexperienced

:10:39.:10:44.

manager. She has a fantastic track record in

:10:45.:10:48.

terms of winning, and developing players. Fitting perfectly with

:10:49.:10:54.

where we are as a club. And he explained why he did this

:10:55.:10:57.

after a match with his previous club!

:10:58.:11:06.

I said, if we stay up, I will strip! We stayed up, so I took Microsoft. I

:11:07.:11:11.

will do it again if we win the Champions League!

:11:12.:11:23.

Then a trip to the front of the stadium for photographs and a media

:11:24.:11:28.

scrum. He is in there somewhere! But emerged unscathed. Then he pressed

:11:29.:11:35.

the flesh with supporters. Are you surprised with this reaction?

:11:36.:11:41.

I am very happy, it feels really good.

:11:42.:11:48.

Act five, the exit. Just for now. Whisked off to the airport for a

:11:49.:11:54.

flight back to Norway. He will be back, and the drama will no doubt

:11:55.:12:01.

continue. And I will be back shortly with more on Celtic and also the

:12:02.:12:09.

rest of the day's sports news. Three men have appeared before

:12:10.:12:12.

appeal judges as the Crown attempts to retry them

:12:13.:12:27.

murder of waiter Surjit Singh Chhokar in 1998. David Montgomery,

:12:28.:12:45.

Ronnie Coulter, and Andrew Coulter were all cleared previously of Mr

:12:46.:12:47.

Chhokar's murder. Mr Chhokar was stabbed to death

:12:48.:12:50.

outside his girlfriend's house in Overtown in Lanarkshire. Prosecutors

:12:51.:12:53.

want to use changes in the law of double jeopardy, which open the way

:12:54.:12:56.

for a possible re-trial. There will be further court hearings before the

:12:57.:12:58.

judges announce their decision. for the a Labour MP has become the

:12:59.:13:08.

first to say that he would vote yes in independence referendum.

:13:09.:13:12.

Labour have distanced themselves from the comment. Given that he does

:13:13.:13:17.

not have a vote or represent a Scottish seat, does it matter?

:13:18.:13:23.

It has not gone down well with his Labour colleagues. Officially the

:13:24.:13:31.

party say that he is entitled to his views but they are not shared by the

:13:32.:13:35.

majority. In terms of the referendum I don't think it will have much

:13:36.:13:38.

like, most people in Scotland will not know whom George McGhee is, he

:13:39.:13:48.

was born and educated in Scotland, and is the first Labour MP to come

:13:49.:13:51.

out and say he supports independence, in that sense it

:13:52.:13:55.

sounds division in the ranks of Labour and the No campaign with just

:13:56.:14:00.

100 days to go. What do the SNP make of it?

:14:01.:14:07.

They have not said much, they just enjoy Labour's discomfort. Yes

:14:08.:14:14.

Scotland put out a statement, they used a former Labour Party chairman

:14:15.:14:19.

in Scotland who has joined Labour for independence to put out a

:14:20.:14:25.

statement saying that it was a boost to the Yes campaign. Mr Thompson

:14:26.:14:35.

said that he thought this showed more and more Labour supporters

:14:36.:14:43.

support independence. Incidentally, one SNP MP has suggested that more

:14:44.:14:47.

north of England Labour MPs to support the view of Mr McGee and he

:14:48.:14:51.

hopes that more of them come out in favour of independence. If that was

:14:52.:14:57.

to happen it would have a much more significant impact.

:14:58.:15:02.

Senior figures at the Royal Bank of Scotland have told the BBC that the

:15:03.:15:06.

time is right for the first move towards privatisation. They believe

:15:07.:15:10.

the government should sell off shares worth around ?5 million to

:15:11.:15:16.

test the market. Taxpayers still own and 80% stake in the bank. Police

:15:17.:15:20.

have released a CCTV image of a man they wish to trace in connection

:15:21.:15:27.

with a sexual assault on Sauchiehall Street on Friday, May 30.

:15:28.:15:35.

Air links between Dundee and London have been secured

:15:36.:15:38.

after funding was agreed between the city council and the UK government.

:15:39.:15:41.

The airport will receive a subsidy of nearly ?3 million to keep

:15:42.:15:44.

Plans for a Highland Games centre at the Braemar Gathering site have

:15:45.:15:49.

Costing ?2.5 million, it will replace the existing main

:15:50.:15:52.

A man from the Western Isles has set off from New York aiming to row more

:15:53.:15:59.

than 3,000 miles across the Atlantic to Stornoway.

:16:00.:16:01.

Niall Iain MacDonald estimates he'll take three months to complete the

:16:02.:16:04.

I am very aware of the dangers and the risks involved. I have done the

:16:05.:16:22.

right preparation, so open to other ocean quarters and the proper

:16:23.:16:27.

preparation for it. I am also aware of my own weaknesses, there is so

:16:28.:16:32.

much I can do. There is a lot of luck involved. You contribute as

:16:33.:16:35.

much as you can, but if you do not have the luck, you will not make it.

:16:36.:16:39.

The train arriving at Edinburgh's Waverley station this

:16:40.:16:41.

lunchtime was a spectacular chocolate cake - to mark the launch

:16:42.:16:44.

It'll take place at the end of platform two every Friday

:16:45.:16:49.

through the summer, with up to forty stalls selling

:16:50.:16:51.

A worldwide jam-making competition has been launched at a farm

:16:52.:16:55.

It's the fourth year of the Championships

:16:56.:16:58.

which attracts hundreds of entries from all over the globe.

:16:59.:17:04.

With the Commonwealth Games only six weeks away, our top Scottish

:17:05.:17:07.

athletes are entering the final phase of their training.

:17:08.:17:10.

And with a home crowd and high hopes for medals

:17:11.:17:12.

That's why many of those competing at elite level, are focusing on

:17:13.:17:20.

Our commonwealth games reporter, Lisa Summers has been looking

:17:21.:17:24.

at the role of psychology in the run up to the Games.

:17:25.:17:33.

Lap after lap, to after talent, Jack sports spends 30 hours a week

:17:34.:17:43.

training. He will have less than two minutes to get everything right if

:17:44.:17:48.

he's going to win a medal. It is the small margins which make a

:17:49.:17:54.

difference in elite sport. I get really nervous, what could happen,

:17:55.:17:57.

what will the four performance be like? Disappointing people is a

:17:58.:18:07.

massive factor in that. Like many of the athletes, he regularly meets a

:18:08.:18:15.

psychologist. We are talking about the optimum performance. Technical

:18:16.:18:20.

preparation is fundamentally important but without a clear mind,

:18:21.:18:24.

a calm and focused mindset for the race, all these elements can follow

:18:25.:18:31.

part. This is where the main games begin on competition day, the

:18:32.:18:35.

changing room. Imagine the apps here. All the other athletes in the

:18:36.:18:40.

room. You have to do what ever it takes to get in the zone. The crowd

:18:41.:18:45.

is waiting outside. All the training is worth nothing if you cannot get

:18:46.:18:49.

your mind on that medal. That is a lot of pressure in the training

:18:50.:18:56.

them. People are looking at each other anxiously. I put my music on

:18:57.:19:00.

and don't think about the rest of it, I focus on the race when that no

:19:01.:19:09.

turning back. When it comes to winning or losing a medal, the

:19:10.:19:21.

pressure is now on. Back to Celtic Park with David Currie.

:19:22.:19:25.

Where as we told you earlier in the programme - there's a new manager.He

:19:26.:19:30.

is 38- year-old Norwegian Ronny Diela.

:19:31.:19:33.

To discuss the appointment we're joined by former Celtic Assistant

:19:34.:19:36.

Thank you for joining us. Your thoughts on the new man. I do not

:19:37.:19:54.

know much about him. He has arrived in the last few days. It is a

:19:55.:19:58.

fantastic opportunity for him to take over a fantastic football club.

:19:59.:20:02.

He has to get up and running right away. He is not a big name like Roy

:20:03.:20:08.

Keane or Henrik Larsson, is that when a? I do not think so. He is a

:20:09.:20:16.

good manager, a good man manager, he can help the young players coming

:20:17.:20:22.

through. He has got three qualifiers coming up as well so he has to make

:20:23.:20:27.

sure he keeps the first-team squad intact. The top players cannot be

:20:28.:20:32.

allowed to leave. Will he be able to do that when big clubs come in for

:20:33.:20:37.

the likes of Fraser Forster? You has to be strong and the board has to be

:20:38.:20:43.

strong to resist it. They have to give this new chance and make sure

:20:44.:20:47.

the top players are still playing here. He is on the hunt for our --

:20:48.:20:53.

and Assistant Manager, Joan Collins is in the same. You will Scottish

:20:54.:20:59.

number two, does he need one? -- Joan Collins. You need someone

:21:00.:21:04.

locally -based who has the background to what is coming on.

:21:05.:21:10.

They will no what is going on. But I am sure he will bring a couple of

:21:11.:21:16.

coaches from Norway. I will give you his telephone number. Thank you for

:21:17.:21:17.

joining me. Andy Murray's bid for a first

:21:18.:21:20.

French Open title is over. The Scot demolished

:21:21.:21:23.

by defending champion Rafa Nadal And as Phil Goodlad now reports,

:21:24.:21:25.

Murray now heads to London for the start of the grass season on the

:21:26.:21:31.

back of one of his biggest defeats. Under the blue sky, Andy Murray had

:21:32.:21:46.

history on his mind, waiting to move into his first French Open final. It

:21:47.:21:52.

quickly became clear he would not be making history today. Broken early

:21:53.:21:58.

was a sign of things to come. Rafa Nadal has lost just once in nine

:21:59.:22:02.

years at the French Open. He believed through the first set. The

:22:03.:22:09.

eight time champion did not let up in the second set. Money was in the

:22:10.:22:19.

grip of a nightmare and there was no escape. -- Andy Murray. Andy Murray

:22:20.:22:30.

blown away in just one and 40 minutes. Recovering from such a

:22:31.:22:36.

crushing defeat may take a little longer. Perhaps this will cheer you

:22:37.:22:44.

up. The new Scotland rugby head coach

:22:45.:22:45.

Vern Cotter takes charge of his team for the first time tomorrow. The

:22:46.:22:49.

Scots are in Texas to play the USA. And as well as having to overcome

:22:50.:22:52.

improving opponents, there's another big obstacle, as Alasdair Lamont

:22:53.:22:55.

reports. Houston in June is hot, very hot.

:22:56.:23:10.

Any activity should be of the leisurely variety. Life should be as

:23:11.:23:20.

relaxing as possible. Try telling that to these men. The Scotland

:23:21.:23:23.

rugby team are here to take on their US counterparts in the ceiling Texan

:23:24.:23:31.

summer. The heat is just a side story. The main story revolves

:23:32.:23:41.

around this man. The new head coach has had precious little time with

:23:42.:23:48.

his players, but likes what he sees. We've got a big strong back line. A

:23:49.:23:58.

group within the team. We're just starting, as I said. It is very

:23:59.:24:05.

important to play well. Then challenge ourselves to play better

:24:06.:24:10.

the week after. It is in this arena stadium, where Vern Cotter and his

:24:11.:24:18.

men will do battle tomorrow night. Sweltering heat or not, there will

:24:19.:24:22.

be nothing laid-back about Scotland under Vern Cotter. That cheered me

:24:23.:24:33.

up a little bit. Back to you in the studio. Thank you very much. Now for

:24:34.:24:45.

the weather forecast. It seemed like the warmest day of the year. Thank

:24:46.:24:51.

you very much indeed. Sadly, the conditions will not last. It is a

:24:52.:24:57.

warm evening. Some hazy sunshine around and we will lose the cloud.

:24:58.:25:05.

Some must in the north-east and the Northern Isles. Not a male -- a mild

:25:06.:25:16.

night I should say. Some indications in the south-west that something

:25:17.:25:21.

lively is on the way. Low pressure and this weather front with humid

:25:22.:25:26.

here from the continent means a recipe for a potent thunderstorms,

:25:27.:25:29.

certainly across the south-west tomorrow. We have a Met Office

:25:30.:25:36.

yellow BoE a warning. Thunderstorms in the south-west working there we

:25:37.:25:40.

up through the South of Scotland and into Kintyre and Adam and perhaps

:25:41.:25:44.

Glasgow as well. Then the next band of rain pushes its way in. Wet in

:25:45.:25:51.

central and southern parts of the country. Further north, a different

:25:52.:25:58.

story. By mid-afternoon it will be wet and humid in central and

:25:59.:26:02.

southern regions. Difficult conditions on the roads and

:26:03.:26:05.

localised flooding. In towards Aberdeenshire, Perthshire in the

:26:06.:26:12.

Highlands, potentially 24 degrees. Colder in the Shetland. If you're

:26:13.:26:19.

hill walking or claiming in the north-west, favourable conditions.

:26:20.:26:22.

Further south, foundry rain and a similar story over eastern ranges.

:26:23.:26:30.

Further south, a bit wet and some thunder for the border hills.

:26:31.:26:36.

Windsor coming from the south-east. What it sees south-west, but as the

:26:37.:26:41.

rain pushes through it will pour occasionally. In eastern regions,

:26:42.:26:49.

good visibility but the rain is coming. Let us follow the rain up to

:26:50.:26:56.

tomorrow night. It will work its way north roads, so wet evening and

:26:57.:27:02.

night for Glasgow, Edinburgh and in towards Stirling, Dundee and carers,

:27:03.:27:06.

pretty much everywhere. The rain continues northwards. The mainland

:27:07.:27:13.

that sunshine and showers for the second half of the weekend. Some of

:27:14.:27:18.

those showers will be strong in some very wet weather for some of us

:27:19.:27:22.

tomorrow. Thank you very much.

:27:23.:27:25.

Now, a reminder of tonight's main news.

:27:26.:27:27.

Accident and emergency doctors at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary have warned

:27:28.:27:29.

the safety of patients could be at risk because of a lack of staff.

:27:30.:27:33.

NHS Grampian say they are trying to recruit more staff.

:27:34.:27:36.
