:04:19. > :04:28.at the home tonight. This care home has been under
:04:29. > :04:31.scrutiny for months now. Last summer, the police launched an
:04:32. > :04:35.investigation following the deaths of four residents at Pentland Hill.
:04:36. > :04:38.They launched their investigation after the death of a six T
:04:39. > :04:43.seven-year-old, who was living here. The police sent their report
:04:44. > :04:46.to the Procurator Fiscal back in February. Pentland Hill was also
:04:47. > :04:50.severely criticised by the care Inspectorate. They said they had
:04:51. > :04:55.seriously considered requesting a sheriff to use his powers to close
:04:56. > :04:59.this hometown. That did not happen, but it was closed to new
:05:00. > :05:02.admissions. Tonight, Burke, who operate this home, one of the
:05:03. > :05:07.biggest providers of private care in the UK, said they will close the
:05:08. > :05:11.home. They said they have failed to recruit a sufficient number of
:05:12. > :05:15.skilled nurses. There are 61 frail and elderly residents living here,
:05:16. > :05:20.and a night, Edinburgh City Council says it is in talks with deeper to
:05:21. > :05:21.explore ways that this home could be kept open. It seems this story may
:05:22. > :05:23.have some way to go yet. The booming housing market in London
:05:24. > :05:26.may be the greatest threat to That's the warning from a group of
:05:27. > :05:30.experts here, who've urged the Bank of England not to raise interest
:05:31. > :05:33.rates to tackle the problem. Our business correspondent
:05:34. > :05:34.David Henderson is here Jackie, unless we're looking to move
:05:35. > :05:42.to London, most of us don't know, and don't care how much it costs to
:05:43. > :05:45.live there. But it seems the spiralling price of
:05:46. > :05:48.a home in the capital could have a major knock-on effect for all of us.
:05:49. > :05:50.Here's why. In the last year, London house
:05:51. > :05:54.prices soared by about 19%. At the same time,
:05:55. > :05:57.a typical house in Scotland rose So there are growing calls
:05:58. > :06:03.for the Bank of England to raise interest rates in an effort to
:06:04. > :06:08.prevent boom and bust in London. Interest rates have been stuck
:06:09. > :06:19.at a record low - just half a It is not cheap and they may not be
:06:20. > :06:25.cheerful. These would-be buyers know London's property marble is a
:06:26. > :06:28.daunting climb. Across the city, the average home costs half a daunting
:06:29. > :06:34.climb. Across the city, the average home costs rising by 100s of pounds
:06:35. > :06:39.every day. With prices soaring, some fear a housing bubble that could
:06:40. > :06:42.burst and harm the economy. So what will the Bank of England do? In his
:06:43. > :06:47.speech last week, the governor of the bank warned that interest rates
:06:48. > :06:50.might soon go up. There is already great speculation about the exact
:06:51. > :06:59.timing of the first rate hike, and this decision is becoming more
:07:00. > :07:04.balanced. It could happen sooner than financial markets currently
:07:05. > :07:10.expect. That could mean a rate rise later this year. Popular, perhaps,
:07:11. > :07:15.with savers, but borrowers could see rising costs. Today, one of the
:07:16. > :07:21.country's leading economists warned of the damage that could cause to a
:07:22. > :07:24.Scottish economy that is on the mend. A lot of people have taken out
:07:25. > :07:31.mortgages very low rates of interest, and so, if you get a
:07:32. > :07:36.small, even a 25.2% increase, that is still a high percent increase in
:07:37. > :07:40.the low rates of interest that people are paying, so it is a very
:07:41. > :07:45.high risk for the household incomes, and you cope with that by cutting
:07:46. > :07:50.spending elsewhere. There is a ray of hope, with firms like this when
:07:51. > :07:53.taking on staff, Scotland's economy is set to grow, but some fear a rate
:07:54. > :07:54.rise could blow that recovery of course.
:07:55. > :07:57.Interest rates have been stuck at a record low - just half a
:07:58. > :08:03.Now if they're to rise, the Bank of England want to see them go up in
:08:04. > :08:06.baby-steps, a quarter of a percent at a time, to limit their impact.
:08:07. > :08:10.But it's clear today the Bank faces growing pressure from outside London
:08:11. > :08:15.not to put up rates any time soon, and to find other ways to cool the
:08:16. > :08:24.housing market in the south-east. Jackie.

:08:56. > :09:07.Eleanor Bradford reports. Thank you. We will just get that for
:09:08. > :09:11.you today. From the day you are born, and you go to school, a health
:09:12. > :09:18.visitor is supposed to monitor your well-being. But health visitors say
:09:19. > :09:20.their numbers have been falling for years, and the government hasn't
:09:21. > :09:25.even been keeping records of staffing levels. But all that is
:09:26. > :09:30.about to change, as health Minister Alex Neill announced today at this
:09:31. > :09:37.neighbourhood centre in Edinburgh. Over the next four years, we are
:09:38. > :09:40.going to recruit another 500 health visitors throughout Scotland. All
:09:41. > :09:43.the evidence shows that if we give young children, particularly in
:09:44. > :09:49.their early months and years, the best possible start in life, then
:09:50. > :09:54.they grow up to be healthy citizens, well educated, with a good chance of
:09:55. > :09:59.employment. So why the sudden boost of staff? It is to do with this, the
:10:00. > :10:04.Children And Young Persons Act, which comes into effect this August.
:10:05. > :10:07.It says every child should have a named person, a scheme already in
:10:08. > :10:11.place in Highland. They will act as a point of contact for questions and
:10:12. > :10:18.offer help with any problems. The children at school will have a
:10:19. > :10:22.teacher as their names person, but usually, it will be a health
:10:23. > :10:25.visitor. Health visitors are really integral to supporting the
:10:26. > :10:30.government initiative, and that is why we were calling for an
:10:31. > :10:33.investment into significant training for other health visitors, because
:10:34. > :10:38.they are the people have the skills and qualifications to be able to
:10:39. > :10:42.support children and families and actually get them the care that they
:10:43. > :10:46.require. These plans have been welcomed, although they do span the

:11:26. > :11:29.Prestwick's problems. But we are told there are big opportunities
:11:30. > :11:33.here as well. Prestwick's main runway is huge, one of the longest
:11:34. > :11:39.anywhere in the United Kingdom. The airport supporters say that
:11:40. > :11:44.underlines this place's importance, not only to the Ayrshire economy,
:11:45. > :11:52.but to the economy of Scotland as a whole. The predicted costs of our?

:12:25. > :12:27.world. Prestwick is not being used to the fold by Eddie M in history or
:12:28. > :12:34.commercial interests. Prestwick has had tough times before, and always
:12:35. > :12:40.relied on strong public support in a ship. Passenger numbers were 2.4
:12:41. > :12:43.million before the recession struck, and I am optimistic that we will
:12:44. > :12:49.return to those figures at some point in the future, and perhaps

:14:15. > :14:19.quite eager to see how things are. I think there is interest on different
:14:20. > :14:23.levels. First, it is interesting, because it is a historical event. As
:14:24. > :14:28.well as international interests, there are interventions as well,
:14:29. > :14:31.most recently from China. When Chinese panda diplomacy sent to
:14:32. > :14:38.bears to Edinburgh, Alex Salmond was in Beijing to personally thank the
:14:39. > :14:44.then Vice Premier. He had already been hosted in Scotland by the First

:15:00. > :15:02.noting he had also promised to respect the choice that Scottish
:15:03. > :15:09.voters make. But this is not the first overseas intervention. The
:15:10. > :15:12.Premier's comments echo those of Barack Obama. Vladimir Putin of
:15:13. > :15:16.Russia was more cautious, stressing that the referendum is a domestic
:15:17. > :15:18.issue by the UK. Chancellor Merkel of Germany said it was a
:15:19. > :15:25.hypothetical question she did not want to answer. The president of
:15:26. > :15:29.Iceland said independence can be a road towards prosperity. So, does it
:15:30. > :15:33.matter what the rest of the world thinks? I think it is a reminder to
:15:34. > :15:37.voters that this is serious. This is probably the biggest decision we
:15:38. > :15:41.will ever take, and I guess it is a reminder that the world is watching,
:15:42. > :15:44.and we need to get this 100% right, because it is irreversible. I think

:20:40. > :20:44.The relay has been travelling from Duns to Hawick via Melrose,
:20:45. > :20:49.The baton will have travelled through 70 nations and territories
:20:50. > :21:01.before it reaches the opening ceremony at Celtic Park on July 23.
:21:02. > :21:04.Half and our main sports story focuses on the location. Over to
:21:05. > :21:05.you. The Celtic manager Ronny Deila says
:21:06. > :21:08.he's confident his newly appointed assistant manager John Collins
:21:09. > :21:10.and club captain Scott Brown will be able to sort out any differences
:21:11. > :21:13.they had in the past. Deila was a guest of honour today at
:21:14. > :21:23.a well established charity event. The Celtic manager wouldn't have
:21:24. > :21:29.been expecting this when he woke up this morning. But then, the Glasgow
:21:30. > :21:34.taxi fund's outing to Troon for sick children is usually a high spirited
:21:35. > :21:38.affair. Ronny Dai Lo was expecting to face questions from reporters,
:21:39. > :21:43.though, like was it his idea to appoint John Collins as assistant
:21:44. > :21:48.manager? It is, of course, my choice. We had a lot of options, but
:21:49. > :21:52.for me, it was important to get a guy who knows Scottish football, and
:21:53. > :21:55.is a good name for Celtic and the whole club. Collins was Hibs manager
:21:56. > :21:59.seven years ago, when there was a short lived player revolt. The
:22:00. > :22:03.current Celtic Captain Scott Brown was in the Hibs team back then.
:22:04. > :22:08.Could their relationship proved the gold? I talked with Scott about what
:22:09. > :22:14.I am thinking to do, and we are agreeing everything, so if they have
:22:15. > :22:20.something in the past, they are grown-up people, and I know that
:22:21. > :22:26.will be no trouble. Taxi drivers are seldom short of opinions, so what do
:22:27. > :22:31.Celtic minded cabbies make of a dealer/Collins double act? Hotdog
:22:32. > :22:35.and mustard. What a winning combination. John Collins and Ronny
:22:36. > :22:41.Deila, will that were? He knew we were coming today, so that is why we
:22:42. > :22:45.have dressed like this. Collins a lot of European experience, which
:22:46. > :22:54.Deila does not. His ceremonial duties over, the countdown is on to
:22:55. > :22:59.Ronny Deila's first so that would season as Celtic manager.
:23:00. > :23:01.Scotland have made eleven changes for Friday's international
:23:02. > :23:19.Grant Gilchrist will lead the side, becoming
:23:20. > :23:21.the youngest player to captain Scotland since Gregor
:23:22. > :23:24.Townsend 18 years ago. Now, a look at what else is happening across
:23:25. > :23:31.Andy Murray is third seed on Monday. It means you will avoid facing
:23:32. > :23:34.Djokovic on adult all the semifinals. The Ryder Cup at
:23:35. > :23:36.Gleneagles is just over 100 days away.
:23:37. > :23:40.European captain Paul McGinley has page view to those making plans
:23:41. > :23:44.behind-the-scenes. Every four years, we play at home, and I see them as
:23:45. > :23:48.part of the European success. The more fun that people are having,
:23:49. > :23:51.whether at be a chef or setting up the stands, whatever, they are
:23:52. > :23:55.setting the scene for us to come on stage in September and overly
:23:56. > :24:00.entertain everybody. Edinburgh Rugby have extended the contract of Sam
:24:01. > :24:05.Beard and another. They have signed until 2015 and
:24:06. > :24:07.2016. Scottish champion gymnast Amy Regan
:24:08. > :24:14.is making good progress recovering from a broken ankle. The 19-year-old
:24:15. > :24:17.is aiming for a medal at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Hopefully,
:24:18. > :24:23.I can qualify for the final, and qualify for the floor and vault
:24:24. > :24:31.final. Hopefully, I can medal on one of those. I can hopefully go wrong,
:24:32. > :24:37.if not three better. Read about Ronny Deila, the rugby and so much
:24:38. > :24:39.more on our website. That is it. I will never forget the
:24:40. > :24:45.day I interviewed a hotdog! Thank you.
:24:46. > :24:50.Coming up the show tonight - the Great Housing divide.
:24:51. > :24:53.We've been looking at what your money can buy in London
:24:54. > :24:56.and Glasgow and why one size fits all interest rates could hurt
:24:57. > :24:58.But would it be any different post-independence?
:24:59. > :25:01.And we've been to Spain to meet the Catalans who see our referendum
:25:02. > :25:04.as an inspiration and the politicians who say they might try
:25:05. > :25:20.So the weather now, things are looking up, because Judith is on the
:25:21. > :25:25.roof. Yes, that of a breeze blowing here, but a warm breeze. It has been
:25:26. > :25:29.a lovely one day. In fact, it looks like we have seen the highest bidder
:25:30. > :25:35.the year, 26.5 Celsius in Perthshire, and many places seen 25
:25:36. > :25:39.or 26 of these inland. As far as tonight goes, we are holding onto
:25:40. > :25:43.warm sunshine. Sharp showers across the Angus area will continue to die
:25:44. > :25:46.away. Dry overnight, although cloud will continue to thicken up across
:25:47. > :25:51.the north of the country. A much different feel to tonight. Last
:25:52. > :25:55.night was terribly humid, but tonight, around 12 or 13 Celsius, so
:25:56. > :26:00.a lot pressure than we have notice of late. Into tomorrow, we held onto
:26:01. > :26:03.quite windy conditions across the Northern Ireland 's. Try
:26:04. > :26:08.across-the-board. Cloudy in the North, and we have got pretty good
:26:09. > :26:13.spells of sunshine across southern part of the country. Into the
:26:14. > :26:16.afternoon, try, bright, sunny weather across south-west Scotland
:26:17. > :26:23.and the inner Hebrides. Temperatures not too bad, not as bad as today,
:26:24. > :26:27.but still 20, or maybe even 22 Celsius. Towards the north-west,
:26:28. > :26:31.thicker cloud. Things might be a little cooler, 16 or 17 Celsius.
:26:32. > :26:37.Cooler across the northern isles and breezy here as well. A cooler day
:26:38. > :26:39.here, but we should cease in good spells of sunshine, especially
:26:40. > :26:44.around the Edinburgh area, and inland parts of the Borders. Through
:26:45. > :26:47.the evening, we held onto drier conditions. Cloud will tend to
:26:48. > :26:49.thicken up across northern parts. The high-pressure responsible for
:26:50. > :26:55.the settled weather moves away slightly to the West, allowing some
:26:56. > :26:58.weather fronts to push in across northern Scotland as we head towards
:26:59. > :27:03.the weekend. That will bring thicker cloud to these parts, certainly
:27:04. > :27:08.across southern parts, we hold onto mainly dry, bright, sunny conditions
:27:09. > :27:11.across the South on Friday, although cloudy in the north. Breezy in the
:27:12. > :27:15.North as well, and a cooler feel across northern Scotland.
:27:16. > :27:20.Temperatures certainly on the cooler side than we have seen of late, but
:27:21. > :27:23.still 17, 18 degrees, pretty good for the time of year. That is your
:27:24. > :27:31.weather forecast. You can come down now. Thank you,
:27:32. > :27:36.Judith. And now, a reminder tonight's main news.
:27:37. > :27:38.Visitors to the Commonwealth Games are being duped into spending
:27:39. > :27:42.hundreds of pounds on accommodation that doesn't exist. Police are
:27:43. > :27:44.investigating a number of bogus online companies offering rooms in
:27:45. > :27:48.Glasgow. The Iraqi Prime Minister has urged
:27:49. > :27:52.Iraqis to unite against sunny militants who have taken control
:27:53. > :27:56.against their word of large parts of the north of the country, and have
:27:57. > :28:01.spent all day battling to control its largest oil refinery.
:28:02. > :28:05.The government in Baghdad has made a formal request to the US to launch
:28:06. > :28:09.formal air strikes against the militants. That on the news channel.
:28:10. > :28:15.And that is Reporting Scotland so far. There will be more in our main
:28:16. > :28:18.evening bulletin, at 10:35 p.m.. Until then, from everyone on the
:28:19. > :28:22.team, enjoy the rest of your evening. Goodbye.
