pleasant in the south-west where the winds are that bit lighter. That is

it. Goodbye. Murdered by his former friends

in a row over drugs. Three men are jailed

for 25 years each for the shooting The First Minister sets out his

vision of how to re-industrialise Scotland under independence. The

lovely thing about this award... Tributes are paid to the actor,

producer and writer David Plans to preserve a key World War I

naval site in the Cromarty Firth. The site itself is quite fast

including a network of underground bunkers and tunnels, some of which

were used as recently as the Cold War.

They are expecting a tougher meeting in Canada on their summer tour.

It was a feud between rival drug gangs that ended

in a car chase through a quiet Edinburgh neighbourhood and a man

Today three drug dealers were jailed for a minimum of 25 years each,

after pleading guilty to killing 25-year-old Mohammed Abdi in May

It is normally a quiet, residential area but the peace was shattered by

machine-gun fire. The victim shared Somalian roots with his killers,

they had been friendly, working together as part of the UK wide drug

dealing network but CCTV pictures capture the moment is a feud boiled

over and a game of cat and mouse becoming a high-speed chase through

the city. The victim 's car pursued by two others. The dramatic

conclusion is featured in this 3-D image built up by police, a chaotic

picture, that witnesses compared to a scene from the films. The freshly

painted railings Mark the spot where the violence reached its peak. The

people carrier crashed through the fence leaving those inside trapped.

They began attacking it with knives and baseball bats, not knowing that

inside the vehicle was a submachine gun, fully loaded, and ready to be

fired. The red lines show the path of the bullets, the fatal shot

piercing the victor's chest. Gang members scattered hiding in nearby

sheds and gardens. The investigation that followed saw detectives

travelling as far as Kenya, building a case that ended abruptly with

guilty pleas from three men. It is concerning that the public

should take reassurance Police Scotland and the Crown Office and

Procurator Fiscal service can and straight through the result we have

today that regardless of who these individuals are, we will track them

down with public support and mature they face justice.

At the High Court in Glasgow they were told they would spend at least

25 years in prison. One of the victim 's father said he was

relieved they wouldn't be allowed to hurt anybody else. It is hoped the

sentence marks the end to the neighbourhood's brush with

information. The First Minister has set out

a plan to boost manufacturing in Scotland

by 30% over the next 16 years. Alex Salmond said that with the full

powers of independence, Scotland could offer tax breaks and capital

investment to boost the economy. But Better Together's Alastair

Darling said independence would put up barriers to trade,

whereas being part of the union helped Scottish industry because it

was part of a bigger market. Here's our political editor,

Brian Taylor. This company in Dunfermline employs

85 people Manufacturing metal components for buses and much more.

They are looking to expand, a further 65 jobs, a model, says Alex

Salmond, for the 30% plan he has. I say manufacturing is the future. The

type of manufacturing changes, life sciences, environmental, renewables

skilled engineering, but the opportunity is there.

Unbelievers he would deploy our tax bricks for companies, targeted

skills relevant to industry, and a Scottish trade network with up to 90

offices around the world. These are the men who are carrying on the

tradition of fine work. Scotland was once heavily reliant

upon manufacturing but large-scale ship building, steel and textiles

declined and key elements of were retained. It has thrived under

devolution. The full powers of independence he believes innovation

and exports could be boosted as well adding ?5 billion to Scottish

revenues. Alistair Darling, during this distillery in Ayrshire, says

Scotland is better in the union and the forecasts are unreliable. He

blocks figures out of the air. Everybody wants Scottish business to

do well, we all want but good -- productivity to increase, but what

would help this process? One of the things is if Scottish businesses are

uninterrupted access to a bigger market.

For distillery staff for factory workers, for all of Scotland, the

choice is yours. There has been in intervention today in the debate by

Hillary Clinton. What has she been saying?

She was saying she would hate to see Britain lose Scotland, hate to see

the union broken up. Alistair Darling says this underlines the

message offered already by President Obama, the union is advantageous not

just to those who live here but also those globally. Alex Salmond says he

welcomes the fact Hillary Clinton stresses this is a call for Scotland

to make. Alex Salmond says Scotland is not a nation to be lost, but a

nation to determine its own future he also wonders whether a similar

message would have been given to George Washington in 1776.

Detectives investigating the murder of a woman near her home

in Glasgow's East End have made a fresh appeal for information.

It's exactly six months since Jean Campbell was attacked in Cranhill

Despite several public appeals and a BBC Crimewatch reconstruction,

At about 1030 on Friday the 13th of December Jean Campbell was working

her dog to cry Hill Park, her last known sighting. The next morning her

husband came home from his night shift. He went to look for her, he

found his wife's body in the park. She was so close to her home, she

lived in the flats there, yet her family still do not know who killed

her. They are naturally devastated to

have a family member taken away from them. They need an answer and they

deserve an answer. Six months on, I would renew my appeal to any member

of the public who has any information who can assist us. It

may well be that somebody knows something they haven't told to the

place up till now because they don't think it is important or relevant. I

would urge anybody with that kind of information to come forward.

There has been a massive investigation, the BBC's Crimewatch

has told her story twice. In April they broadcast a reconstruction of

her last known movements. There is also a social media campaign on

Facebook and Twitter to help find her killer. It is exactly six months

since her body was found in this park, since then police officers

have done extensive house-to-house enquiries, over 1500 DNA samples

have been taken. Crimestoppers have offered a reward of ?5,000 for any

information that leads to a conviction. But still this case

remains unsolved. This was her shopping the day before she died.

Police say in maybe six months on, but the case is very much still

active and there has been a good response so far four. They are

confident that with the publics help somebody will be brought to justice

for her death. You're watching Reporting Scotland

from the BBC. Still to come

on tonight's programme: A musical world first takes place

in Glasgow this weekend. We'll hear from Scotland head coach

Vern Cotter in Toronto on the eve Our women prepare to face one

of the world's best teams. The Scottish writer,

actor and producer David MacLennan A driving force in theatre, he

co-founded the ground-breaking 7:84 He was also

behind the hugely successful "A Play, A Pie and A Pint" event at

Glasgow's Oran Mor, which has Our Arts Correspondent,

Pauline McLean looks back at I have always been known as a man

who enjoyed a dram but on this occasion, if my life is -- if my

voice is a little slurred it is nothing to do with that. I have been

diagnosed with motor neurone disease. And I am stone cold sober.

Honesty and humour where his trademarks, and the reason so many

people chose to work with him. He wanted to bring theatre to as many

people as possible, whether during around the country or served up at

lunch times. He was a fantastic bridge between an older generation

of data makers and a new generation. He was as happy with a young theatre

maker as Bill Paterson. That was his massive strength. He didn't really

care about that, he just wanted it to happen and put the right people

together which is what a really good producer does.

He and his sister along with her husband were founding members of the

theatre company 7:84 which produced some of the most radical, political

drama ever seen in the UK. Not least the ground-breaking show. He set up

another new company with his close friend, Dave Anderson. He has always

been the one to say I will do this will top that is how it works. I

just say, all right, and I find I am the founder member. By default. The

company suffered a huge blow when after 25 years its arts Council

funding was withdrawn. But he bounced back with a new project

funded by a bar project. It has become one of the most accessible

theatre seasons in the country, exported internationally and loved

by loyal audiences. Glasgow audiences are known for being tough,

but fair. As soon as the play starts, David would stand up, here

is the play, and that was it, total silence. Still working on shows

until just a few weeks ago, when his health prevented him being there in

person, he was in touch by phone and e-mail. Today's show went ahead as

planned. A look at other stories from across

the country: A woman has been taken to hospital

with serious injuries after she was hit by a car which

mounted a pavement in Aberdeen. The accident happened

near the city's Beach Boulevard. The woman, in her 40s, is

described as having serious Detectives

investigating the theft of more than ?1 million worth

of jewellery from an Edinburgh store last week have put on extra patrols

around the area today. Eight designer watches were

among the items taken from Hamilton and Inches in George Street

by an armed gang. We have offices in the area to

reassure the public and identify other witnesses. -- offices.

The site served as a vital anchorage for the British

These lookouts and gun emplacements played a vital defensive role as

hostilities were ramped up from 1914. They guarded the mouth of the

Cromarty Firth, which can provide a safe haven for the entire British

fleet. Confusing us say the crumbling site should be saved and

opened to the public. We learned so much about war from the European

perspective and what happened in the trenches or in Normandy but we do

not see so much about what happened at our own front door. Know the

architects have brought Delbert draw up plans. -- now the architects have

drawn up plans. The site is quite fast, including a whole network of

underground tunnels, some of which were used as recently as the Cold

War. The project raises serious issues about the preservation of

wartime sites here in Scotland. May be 100 years on it is a national

issue. What do we want to preserve? If we were looking at what was worth

preserving in Scotland, certainly the fortifications of the Cromarty

Firth should be continued. Building a visitor centre may be a bridge too

far but some public access may be possible in the future, allowing a

dramatic insight into this area's contribution to both world wars.

The Commonwealth Games baton arrives in Scotland tomorrow

and will be crisscrossing the country over the next 40 days.

Today it was travelling through the Northeast of England,

arriving at Alnwick Castle this afternoon.

It will cross the border at Coldstream.

Our reporter Cameron Buttle explains how we'll be covering its progress.

This vehicle is going to be running just ahead of the baton. There are

loads of cameras all over it. It will take you directly to the heart

of the action anywhere in Scotland. Those cameras feed directly into

this complicated broadcasting system, which eventually feeds them

up to the BBC Scotland dedicated web page. Of course, we will not be the

only ones following the baton across Scotland. The entire weather team

will be out on the road, too. We will bring you the latest weather

forecasts on certain nights of the week as the baton continues its

journey around the country. And there will be some prices Delbert

surprises in store. -- some prices in store.

Scotland head coach Vern Cotter expects Canada to provide

a step up from the challenge of facing the USA last weekend.

Cotter and his players have been preparing for his second match

And as our reporter Alasdair Lamont's been finding out, their

hard work has been supplemented by the odd chance to cool off.

Canada has much to offer its many visitors. Not least the spectacular

sight of the Niagara Falls. So on a rare day off, it seemed only right

for the Scotland rugby team to get up close and personal with this

natural phenomenon. In the somewhat more prosaic surroundings of this

training ground, these players were hoping to prove the main attraction

tomorrow. The boys like coming away and doing different things. They are

100% focused. It is important to get a wing and continue through the rest

of the summer. Most of the players involved will then head home, having

had their chance to play with the new head coach. He wants to leave

nothing to chance. The gang will be a tougher gang and the conditions.

We will be playing in better conditions. Playing as the team that

lost last week, they will be angry. We are expecting a lift from this,

and they will play right to the end. So it is a good challenge and a step

up. We are looking forward to it. Talking of a step up, Toronto has

more than a few of those as well. Scotland will hope to be scaling the

heights on Saturday. The former Rangers and Scotland

captain Barry Ferguson will soon be He's taking over as player-coach

of League Two club Clyde. Ferguson is due to sign

a three-year deal. His most recent job was

as caretaker-manager of English There are no Scots to cheer on

at this year's World Cup but Scotland's women are very much

in with a chance of qualifying They top group four and are

so far unbeaten. They face the biggest match of

their campaign tomorrow, though,when As Heather Dewar reports, the

rivalry extends beyond the players. Meet Sweden's first lady of

football. At 54, no pushover by anyone's standards. She has already

tasted a World Cup final, had a stamp in her honour and guided team

USA to two gold medals. This Scotland star who plays in Sweden

says she's a coach to be reckoned with. She is a bit of a legend. The

national team was made for her. They welcomed her with open arms. She was

doing laps of honour and the crowd were really behind her. She was as

big a star as the players were. Starting tomorrow will be another

top Swede, who just happens to be the head coach of Scotland. My

friend has done a fantastic job. She works every day and does it for the

sake of football. If you look just a couple of years ago, and compare how

the play was then to today, she is a smart woman. She has a big heart.

She loves football. That is why they play some really good football. That

Scotland's Swedish supremo says friendship will count for nothing on

the day. We are competitive and want to go out and win the game. And they

will be hoping that their superb form in the competition so far

continues tomorrow. Come, Scotland! 17,000 Rangers season tickets

have been renewed for next season. Last year the club sold

34,000 by the end of july. Some groups are urging fans

not to buy them, in protest I would encourage the fans who have

not renewed yet not to be bullied into doing so.

Hearts have signed the former Hamilton striker James Keatings.

The ex-Dundee United midfielder Morgaro Gomis has also joined up

Ross County have signed 23-year-old Northern Irihsman Liam Boyce.

On the eve of the Rally For Bally event to remember Elena Baltacha,

the late tennis star's husband has praised her bravery

She had so many amazing things at her feet. And then we were up

against this fight. As I say to this day, she never once ever complained

through the whole ordeal. Read all about Vern Cotter

of a world premiere of music The cool quartet is used to playing

cutting edge music, but this composition is more challenging than

most. Composed for strings and bikes. Tiny microphones amplify

every clank, click and squeak, then it is looped and layered over more

conventional sounds. You know that kind of comforting click as you are

freewheeling, or the squeal of breaks and that kind of thing. It is

those everyday things, bringing them into a musical context. Amplifying

them a bit, showing them to people in the new light, almost. It is a

one of the number of playful performances taking part this

weekend at Glasgow University. This one, Ping! , commissioned for the

Olympics, was commissioned for strings and table tennis players. It

is performed with table tennis players and a string quartet and

they pick up the rhythms from each other. The whole piece gathers

momentum. It is a very exciting piece. And it all moves up a gear on

Sunday with another bike -based performance, this time played an 111

bicycles. The weekend weather is looking good.

We did see some rain today. A few showers across parts of eastern

Scotland to content with. Dry tonight.

Mist and the fog developing in western areas. A mild but muggy

night. Tomorrow morning, Dawn is cloudy, with mist and low cloud and

especially towards western coastal areas. But it brightens up nicely

and you should see some sunny spells. For most of us,

predominantly dry. Good spells of sunshine coming through for the

likes of the South West, into a shy, can delegate entire -- Ayrshire and

Kintyre. Good spells of sunshine up towards the open area. Cloud tending

to come in across the outer Hebrides and Orkney but some sunshine coming

in for Shetland. If you are thinking of heading into the hills tomorrow,

in western rages, fog. Wind will be light. Very pleasant conditions.

Some fog for Eastern Rangers, two, but like wings for the peaks. The

coastal waters of Scotland will see some sea fog towards western coastal

areas but wind will be light and variable across-the-board. For the

East Coast, any mist will lift so we have good visibility here. Wind

light and variable. For the rest of Saturday, just a few showers. Find

sunshine to end the day. Bright skies are holding the conditions

overnight. We are looking at this area of high pressure staying but

for a few days, bringing in a lot of dry weather. Also holding onto some

warm temperatures, too. Sunday Dawn is fairly bright. A mild start to

the day as well. Maybe the odd shower breaking out but they will be

fleeting in nature and wind will stay on the light side. Next week

predominantly dry and getting warmer.
