:00:07. > :00:14.Tonight on Reporting Scotland: 100 days to go until the independence
:00:15. > :00:18.referendum. Both sides in the debate had been putting forward their
:00:19. > :00:26.arguments, as the campaign hots up to try to persuade the voters. We
:00:27. > :00:31.should definitely go for it. We have a lot to gain from staying together.
:00:32. > :00:38.We will be assessing how both campaigns are doing, with the vote
:00:39. > :00:41.approaching. Allegations that babies and adults
:00:42. > :00:46.were cremated together at this Aberdeen crematorium.
:00:47. > :00:49.After another sex attack on a woman in Glasgow, a midnight protest is
:00:50. > :00:54.being held to highlight growing concerns.
:00:55. > :00:58.And she was a champion in her own right, but can Andy Moray's new
:00:59. > :01:09.coach inspire him to win more grand slam titles.
:01:10. > :01:13.It's a sigificant date among a host of significant dates, but
:01:14. > :01:17.today the sides in the independence debate used the 100-days marker to
:01:18. > :01:21.There was an unexpected intervention from the former prime minister
:01:22. > :01:24.Gordon Brown, who accused his fellow pro-union parties
:01:25. > :01:30.We have a series of reports, incuding an analysis
:01:31. > :01:35.of the most recent polling surveys, but first to our political
:01:36. > :01:44.correspondent Glenn Campbell. Tell us about Gordon Brown's remarks.
:01:45. > :01:55.In a briefing not here at Holyrood but when spinster, Gordon Brown
:01:56. > :02:01.suggested that some of the Treasury plans to persuade Scots to vote
:02:02. > :02:07.Unknowingly referendum had been patronising. -- at Westminster. He
:02:08. > :02:13.said it could turn it into a versus Britain battle and that was a losing
:02:14. > :02:18.ticket. He also said it would be a good idea if his successor as prime
:02:19. > :02:22.minister, David Cameron, agreed to a head-to-head debate with First
:02:23. > :02:24.Minister Alex Salmond. That delighted Mr Salmond. It will
:02:25. > :02:34.probably go down less well in Downing Street. They have been
:02:35. > :02:39.trying to subcontract the debating to the leader of the Better Together
:02:40. > :02:43.campaign. The 100 independence supporters who
:02:44. > :02:47.gathered to create this image know exactly how they are voting. They
:02:48. > :02:53.want to persuade a majority of Scots to join them. Yes Scotland campaign
:02:54. > :03:01.is know they have work to do if they are to win, but they say support is
:03:02. > :03:04.growing. Today we are close to 800,000 people signing the Yesterday
:03:05. > :03:11.declaration. That is fantastic. We believe we will get to the 1 million
:03:12. > :03:18.target. In Edinburgh, female members of the Scottish Cabinet, seeking to
:03:19. > :03:23.reassure women voters, who tend to be more sceptical about independence
:03:24. > :03:28.than men. We will always have the security of being in control of our
:03:29. > :03:33.resources. We will have the job -creating powers we need an economic
:03:34. > :03:37.policy that puts Scotland first. At a rival event in Glasgow, better
:03:38. > :03:41.together supporters from across Scotland claimed to represent a
:03:42. > :03:47.viewpoint shared by the majority of Scots. I know that sometimes we are
:03:48. > :03:50.not as loud as the people campaigning for independence. We are
:03:51. > :03:54.just everyday Scottish people who believe that the best future for
:03:55. > :04:00.Scotland is as part of the UK. APPLAUSE
:04:01. > :04:07.The leader of their campaign insists that a no vote would not be a vote
:04:08. > :04:12.for no change. It is clear that a No vote will bring more powers to
:04:13. > :04:18.Scotland within the United Kingdom. Now all three of the Scottish party
:04:19. > :04:22.is backing a No vote has put forward broadly similar proposals for more
:04:23. > :04:26.powers. They hope that this will persuade most voters to politely
:04:27. > :04:31.declined the possibility of making Scotland a fully independent
:04:32. > :04:36.country. It is the puts of up to 4 million Scottish residents that will
:04:37. > :04:40.settle this question and the rival campaigns now have just 100 days
:04:41. > :04:45.left to help those who are still decided make up their minds. -- it
:04:46. > :04:49.is the votes of up to 4 million Scottish residents.
:04:50. > :04:52.Our political editor Brian Taylor has spent the day in Dundee.
:04:53. > :04:56.Brian, both sides in the campaigns, then, making that big push for votes
:04:57. > :05:06.Yes, down the decades Dundee Square has seen political battles, but
:05:07. > :05:10.nothing as big as this one. We are talking about the future of
:05:11. > :05:17.Scotland. I am joined by my two guests. Your key off is the really
:05:18. > :05:27.industrialisation of cities like Dundee, but that was your offer in
:05:28. > :05:30.the 2011 manifesto, wasn't it? Independence will mean having
:05:31. > :05:36.control over our own vast resources that Scotland has, to be able to be
:05:37. > :05:43.industrialised Scotland. Without the key levers of economic powers we can
:05:44. > :05:47.do some things... This city has been transformed under the SNP, but we
:05:48. > :05:51.need the economic levers of control to be able to transform Scotland.
:05:52. > :05:56.You are arguing that there can be change brought about by a Labour
:05:57. > :05:59.Government at the UK level. You say you can change the nation without
:06:00. > :06:04.changing the nationality, but Scotland alone cannot in that
:06:05. > :06:10.about? They can vote for way, Labour, but may end up with a Tory
:06:11. > :06:16.Government when the votes elsewhere are counted? I did with one change
:06:17. > :06:21.in our communities and by blending Labour powers at Scottish level, we
:06:22. > :06:24.can do that. Alex Salmond has been saying for years, I cannot do
:06:25. > :06:30.anything because I do not have the full powers. He has a lot of power
:06:31. > :06:35.he's not using at the moment. Two years ago he promised 750 renewables
:06:36. > :06:40.jobs in Dundee and he has not put his money where his mouth is. This
:06:41. > :06:46.comment by Gordon Brown, he says there can be something as eight
:06:47. > :06:52.patronising tone -- something of a patronising tone. It is hardly great
:06:53. > :06:56.for the Better Together campaign. I Think Gordon Is An Excellent Leader.
:06:57. > :07:00.He Has Brought A Lot To This Debate. I Would Like To See Alistair Darling
:07:01. > :07:05.Debating David Cameron Over This Question.
:07:06. > :07:11.Isn't He Pointing Out A Good Point, That This Is A Decision For The
:07:12. > :07:15.People Of Scotland To Take? I think there should be a debate and perhaps
:07:16. > :07:21.now Alistair Darling will think again. But Jenny Marra makes her
:07:22. > :07:34.case for us because what we need is a control over the energy policy to
:07:35. > :07:38.have the job creation powers. There is no evidence that there is a
:07:39. > :07:42.greater tax take in an independent Scotland to deliver these... Thank
:07:43. > :07:45.you both very much indeed. That is the view of the political leaders
:07:46. > :07:54.here in Dundee but it is the people who have the vote and the decision.
:07:55. > :07:57.I have been to the streets of my native Dundee to find out what
:07:58. > :08:01.people are saying. This has long been a city of
:08:02. > :08:06.choices. You can arrive in Dunblane by the rail bridge or the road
:08:07. > :08:10.bridge. In the city you can choose Dundee University or Abertay
:08:11. > :08:15.University. Two bridges, two universities, one football team.
:08:16. > :08:21.Only joking. There is another one of the road. Over the centuries, this
:08:22. > :08:28.ancient city has known conflict and dilemma. Now its citizens, like all
:08:29. > :08:34.across Scotland, face a big choice. That is why my old school there, the
:08:35. > :08:37.High School Of Dundee traces its history back to 1239. It is said
:08:38. > :08:42.that one of the earliest pupils was William Wallace, the great Father of
:08:43. > :08:48.Scotland. Scottish independence still appeals to a fair number of
:08:49. > :08:54.them Dhoni ends. It is a great chance for a change. I think we
:08:55. > :09:01.should definitely go for it. We are able to take care of ourselves. The
:09:02. > :09:08.future lies... I want to change it on behalf of my grandchildren.
:09:09. > :09:17.Dundee is famous for its foodstuffs. At this baker's shop, based in union
:09:18. > :09:24.Street... Political union has its advocates in Dundee. I feel that I
:09:25. > :09:29.am British. I think we all have a lot to gain from staying together.
:09:30. > :09:34.If there have been 300 years of peace between two nations, why can't
:09:35. > :09:45.that piece continue? I would rather keep it the way it is. Before he was
:09:46. > :09:51.Conservative Prime Minister, Winston Churchill was Dundee's Liberal MP
:09:52. > :09:55.for 14 years. Here he is at the 1922 election am carried into the city
:09:56. > :10:03.because of illness. His mood scarcely improved when he lost his
:10:04. > :10:08.seat to this man, a prohibitionist. A small plaque was erected to the
:10:09. > :10:16.great man, but not the statue. That was reserved for other heroes.
:10:17. > :10:26.Dundee remained ambivalent. In the current contest, some are still
:10:27. > :10:31.unsure which bound to follow. Nothing is swaying me towards either
:10:32. > :10:35.side. I do not know enough about it yet. I need to do my own research.
:10:36. > :10:41.It could be up to the last week or so before I make a decision. Now,
:10:42. > :10:47.the Dundee, for Scotland, the long view is shortening. 100 days.
:10:48. > :10:50.I'm joined now here by polling expert Professor John Curtice.
:10:51. > :10:53.So, 100 days to go, and what's your assesment of
:10:54. > :11:01.We have had 56 opinion polls since the referendum poll in question was
:11:02. > :11:05.set in the three last year. Of those, only one has ever put the Yes
:11:06. > :11:11.side ahead, a criticised commission by the SNP. The Yes side have
:11:12. > :11:14.acknowledged they are behind. If you take the average of all the opinion
:11:15. > :11:26.polls that were done in April and May, and take out the people who
:11:27. > :11:36.don't -- who do not know or will not say, 57% is, no and 43% is Yes. But
:11:37. > :11:42.Yes are in a better situation that they were before Christmas, when it
:11:43. > :11:46.was 39%. But if Yes are going to win this referendum, they have to make
:11:47. > :11:53.progress at a much faster rate than they have done so far.
:11:54. > :12:00.How significant are the People who do not know at the moment?
:12:01. > :12:05.It is often uncounted. Most opinion polls, though, are only finding
:12:06. > :12:13.about 15% of people are saying they have no idea at all. Many of those
:12:14. > :12:19.people, in fact, are probably not going to vote. But there is a lot of
:12:20. > :12:23.body of people who say they have an idea of what they are going to do
:12:24. > :12:28.but they are not quite decided yet, 15%. And then another 15% say, I
:12:29. > :12:32.think I have made a decision but I admit I might change it. So there is
:12:33. > :12:38.not simple it a group of people who have not decided and those who have
:12:39. > :12:42.decided, we are all summer on a spectrum of indecision from the
:12:43. > :12:48.absolute to no idea at all. -- we are on a spectrum of indecision. It
:12:49. > :12:51.is the group in the middle, the people who have some idea but who
:12:52. > :12:58.might be persuaded to change their minds, that is to the two camps have
:12:59. > :12:59.got to appeal to. Not those who are wholly undecided, those who might
:13:00. > :13:09.change. Is there one issue that can swing
:13:10. > :13:14.it? Either camp has two persuaded people
:13:15. > :13:18.that it is their side that will bring the economy improvements.
:13:19. > :13:22.Well, there will be much more on the referendum, and where both
:13:23. > :13:24.sides are in their campaigns, on Scotland 2014 tonight.
:13:25. > :13:40.I will ask Alistair Darling tonight why he thinks that No Thanks is a
:13:41. > :13:45.better phrase than Yes Scotland. And we have got a special report on
:13:46. > :13:51.happiness. So if you need cheering up, June into Scotland 2014.
:13:52. > :13:53.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.
:13:54. > :13:55.Still to come on tonight's programme:
:13:56. > :13:58.Reclaiming the city - women prepare for a midnight march in protest
:13:59. > :14:12.Andy Moray says he does not care what other people think, he's happy
:14:13. > :14:39.with his new coach. And the Glasgow Warriors.
:14:40. > :14:42.An investigation has begun into allegations that babies and adults
:14:43. > :14:44.were cremated together at Aberdeen's Hazelhead Crematorium. It comes amid
:14:45. > :14:47.scrutiny of crematoria across Scotland and the issue of baby
:14:48. > :14:50.ashes. Aberdeen Council chief executive Angela Scott said the
:14:51. > :14:53.findings of an earlier independent audit would now have to be
:14:54. > :15:05.I have advised the commission of this development.
:15:06. > :15:08.Kevin Keane is at the crematorium for us tonight. What are parents
:15:09. > :15:23.This is potentially the biggest development of the scandal. You may
:15:24. > :15:27.remember that it was discovered in Edinburgh that the bee 's ashes had
:15:28. > :15:34.been scattered in the grounds without the knowledge of the
:15:35. > :15:37.parents. That's shown the spotlight on crematorium is around Scotland.
:15:38. > :15:45.Aberdeen has remained the main focus because it was discovered that
:15:46. > :15:50.parents of babies is of a certain age were not being offered any
:15:51. > :15:53.ashes. They said that the burners on the building operator at such a high
:15:54. > :16:00.temperature that there are no ashes left to offer the parents. There was
:16:01. > :16:04.an independent enquiry launched which backed up that case and the
:16:05. > :16:14.authority maintained throughout. They also said that this was being
:16:15. > :16:18.investigated but was never in doubt, and this has been followed by a
:16:19. > :16:25.variety of parents who are taking legal action against the City
:16:26. > :16:32.Council. The families we represent are just broken. They are absolutely
:16:33. > :16:36.devastated. It is the worst situation that could have come out.
:16:37. > :16:45.There will be countless families who are impacted by this. This covers
:16:46. > :16:52.away the area and I can only assume this is a widespread situation. This
:16:53. > :16:54.leaves many questions unanswered. There is no statement as to what
:16:55. > :16:58.timescale this covers. A new drug for people with Hepatitis
:16:59. > :17:02.C will be available on the NHS. The manufacturers say it cures around
:17:03. > :17:06.90% of cases, but at a cost of least ?36,000 per patient. A panel of
:17:07. > :17:09.experts said that was justified by the drug's effectiveness. The
:17:10. > :17:12.Hepatitis C Trust welcomed the decision as a ?step in the right
:17:13. > :17:31.direction? for the complete Midnight matches taking place in the
:17:32. > :17:35.south side of Glasgow tonight in protest at the number of sex attacks
:17:36. > :17:44.in the city. They will demonstrate their concerns over their worries
:17:45. > :17:50.over this situation. In the early hours of May, a woman was raped in
:17:51. > :17:57.Tory glen. Nine years later, a young woman was raped in Govanhill. They
:17:58. > :18:01.have released two images of the many wish to trace. Yesterday, at 130 in
:18:02. > :18:05.the morning, another young woman raped in the city centre. Using
:18:06. > :18:14.social media, these residents of Govanhill have organised the march
:18:15. > :18:21.to show their disgust at this race and the claim. People are getting
:18:22. > :18:25.scared to leave their homes. Something needs to be done. We need
:18:26. > :18:31.to show the authorities that they need to do more on the streets of
:18:32. > :18:40.Glasgow. We felt we needed to do something. The response has been
:18:41. > :18:46.overwhelming, not surprisingly. See rates in the city in the past month
:18:47. > :18:51.and the police are also looking at three other sexual assaults. Not the
:18:52. > :18:56.sort of news the city once in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games.
:18:57. > :19:02.What I would say is that there is no evidence that there's a link between
:19:03. > :19:07.these investigations. We have a number of highly trained officers
:19:08. > :19:12.dedicated to these investigations. We will dedicate that until we find
:19:13. > :19:16.those people responsible and bring them to justice. Police have
:19:17. > :19:19.increased patrols in the areas where these attacks have happened. But the
:19:20. > :19:28.women said the police presence is not as visible as would like to see.
:19:29. > :19:29.A large section of masonry has fallen from a

:19:35. > :19:40.Road in Glasgow. It is understood no one was injured. The Fire Service
:19:41. > :19:42.have checked the building. A look at other stories
:19:43. > :19:44.from across the country... A murder inquiry is underway
:19:45. > :19:48.after the death of a 68-year-old man He was injured when he was involved
:19:49. > :19:52.in an altercation with another man at the Montgomerie Arms
:19:53. > :19:55.and died later in hospital. Police say the suspect left
:19:56. > :19:58.the pub on foot and have appealed A man who drowned in the River Nairn
:19:59. > :20:03.at the weekend has been named locally as Alexander Fraser. Police
:20:04. > :20:06.were called late on Saturday evening and found two men in the water, with
:20:07. > :20:10.one trying to help the other. Police divers recovered a body on Sunday.
:20:11. > :20:13.It is believed the 19-year-old died after going for a swim following a
:20:14. > :20:28.beach party. It is just so unexpected. It is not
:20:29. > :20:30.something we are used to as the community. We live round the water
:20:31. > :20:34.all the time. It is just a tragedy. There are fresh proposals for
:20:35. > :20:37.secondary education in Shetland. More than 600 people marched through
:20:38. > :20:40.Lerwick on Saturday in support of rural education. The Islands Council
:20:41. > :20:43.is now to consult on pupils staying at the Junior Highs until the end of
:20:44. > :20:47.secondary three and on a proposal to Children from a Glasgow primary
:20:48. > :20:51.school helped Commonwealth Games organisers announce the route the
:20:52. > :20:54.Queen's Baton will take through the host city before the opening
:20:55. > :20:57.ceremony. The baton will visit every community in Glasgow and several of
:20:58. > :21:17.its landmarks. It will go all around the city and
:21:18. > :21:20.every night, Frears stops, there will be a party. They will be a
:21:21. > :21:26.massive party in Glasgow next month. Andy Murray's new coach Amelie
:21:27. > :21:29.Mauresmo arrives in London tomorrow to start working with her new
:21:30. > :21:31.charge. It's an appointment that's got the whole of tennis, and indeed
:21:32. > :21:35.many other sports talking. Murray says he likes her calmness, and
:21:36. > :21:38.hopes she'll provide direction and structure. Kheredine Idessane
:21:39. > :21:59.reports from Team Murray at the Back on the green, green grass of
:22:00. > :22:06.home. As usual team keeping a watchful eye, but the next
:22:07. > :22:09.generation on hand courtside to 11. One adviser to practice as his new
:22:10. > :22:14.coach does not arrive until tomorrow. The appointment of the
:22:15. > :22:26.Frenchwoman has been the talk of the locker room. It is interesting to
:22:27. > :22:34.see how that will work for Andy. He has chosen this person. That is the
:22:35. > :22:39.right way. From other players point of view, I do not really care what
:22:40. > :22:48.they think. It is time to whether it works well for me. So what do we
:22:49. > :22:52.know about Amelie Mauresmo? She has won two major championships. She is
:22:53. > :22:57.France's answer to Judy Murray and is now the captain of the Federation
:22:58. > :23:07.cup team. I just want to be able to help him. That is about it. The rest
:23:08. > :23:17.is the story for you to write, I guess. His first match in the
:23:18. > :23:19.championship, fittingly, as against a Frenchman.
:23:20. > :23:22.It was another impressive try from Stuart Hogg for the Scotland rugby
:23:23. > :23:26.team against the USA and now he says he is staying at Glasgow to fight
:23:27. > :23:30.for his place. Hogg had looked on his way out at the Warriors, but
:23:31. > :23:33.having repaid the new Scotland coach Vern Cotter's faith in him, the
:23:34. > :23:37.fullback is ready to show Gregor Townsend at Glasgow what he has been
:23:38. > :23:55.Scotland's first match under the new coach may have been a redemption of
:23:56. > :24:00.sorts for Stuart Hogg. Sent off in a humiliating defeat by Wales, he came
:24:01. > :24:07.into this tour with something to prove. I have had the coaching staff
:24:08. > :24:14.there to help me along the way. I will continue to work hard and
:24:15. > :24:24.hopefully take my chances. That is all I can ask for. Are you going to
:24:25. > :24:32.be a Glasgow player next season? Definitely. Reasons for him to smile
:24:33. > :24:37.and same for another comeback man. There was an acknowledgement that
:24:38. > :24:42.things can still improve. We are always looking at basics. We are
:24:43. > :24:49.looking at a strong defence and building on that. We need to be
