:01:50. > :01:55.They have been called supercharged fruit machines, the crack cocaine of
:01:56. > :02:00.gambling. The pay-outs can be big, but so are the stakes, to ?100.
:02:01. > :02:05.People with a gambling problem, to be able to spend ?100 every 20
:02:06. > :02:11.seconds, you know, ?300 a minute, that becomes ludicrous to think that
:02:12. > :02:15.someone would do that, but there are compulsive gamblers. People with a
:02:16. > :02:20.gambling problem, who just have a control. Glasgow council has been
:02:21. > :02:25.researching the impact of fixed odds machines. It reckons people in the
:02:26. > :02:30.city may be losing ?31 million a year on them. The evidence here in
:02:31. > :02:35.Glasgow is that people are actually gambling, on average, ?12 on the
:02:36. > :02:39.press of a button every 35 seconds. You can see how people could get
:02:40. > :02:42.into difficulties very quickly. One of the concerns of the council is
:02:43. > :02:46.the number of betting shops in some areas, possibly making it worse for
:02:47. > :02:50.people with a gambling problem. This is one of the busiest streets in the
:02:51. > :02:55.centre of Glasgow, and within a few feet of each other here, there are
:02:56. > :02:59.one, two, three, four High St betting shops, and the council wants
:03:00. > :03:02.power from the Scottish Government to try to stop more clusters like
:03:03. > :03:06.this from building up, either in the city centre or anywhere else. One
:03:07. > :03:11.High St betting chain has reservations about some of
:03:12. > :03:15.Glasgow's research, but insists it wants to tackle problem gambling of
:03:16. > :03:18.any sort. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that machines
:03:19. > :03:26.are any more less addictive than any other gambling product, and
:03:27. > :03:29.Ladbrokes' view is that we prefer to focus on helping those customers who
:03:30. > :03:33.present themselves to as is having a potential problem. We see our role
:03:34. > :03:37.as helping customers to help themselves. Tonight, the Scottish
:03:38. > :03:40.Government told the BBC it has listen to concerns a number of
:03:41. > :03:41.betting shops and will respond to them in a new planning policy
:03:42. > :03:43.shortly. There's renewed controversy tonight
:03:44. > :03:46.over the costs of setting up The Scottish government has
:03:47. > :03:49.advertised internally for staff to work on
:03:50. > :03:51.the transition to independence. Critics say it's a rushed move
:03:52. > :03:54.after the recent row. But Ministers insist
:03:55. > :03:56.it's prudent planning. This from our political editor
:03:57. > :04:07.Brian Taylor. Yesterday and for the past
:04:08. > :04:12.fortnight, opposition leaders have demanded to know the cost of setting
:04:13. > :04:16.up a new state. Is he going to give the answer key macro Alex Salmond
:04:17. > :04:21.said he ready had, in the White Paper. There is no precise sum, and
:04:22. > :04:25.ministers say that depends on how UK assets are carved up. It emerged
:04:26. > :04:29.today that the Scottish Government has internally advertised to civil
:04:30. > :04:32.service jobs, one dealing with the transition to independence, assuring
:04:33. > :04:37.and collating information on financial aspects of constitutional
:04:38. > :04:41.change. The second involves researching and locating asset
:04:42. > :04:45.registers of public sector bodies, analysing bodies' financial
:04:46. > :04:48.accounts, and drawing together information on assets and
:04:49. > :04:53.liabilities. The adverts are clear. They are people to work out how much
:04:54. > :04:56.it will cost from going to being part of the UK to being an
:04:57. > :05:00.independent and separate country. At any point in the last seven years,
:05:01. > :05:03.this SNP government whose stated aim is independence could and should
:05:04. > :05:06.have done this work, and the people of Scotland should know how much
:05:07. > :05:10.independence is going to cost them. Instead, we have panic measures out
:05:11. > :05:13.today, which point to shambles at the heart of the Scottish
:05:14. > :05:17.Government. Ministers say the jobs are about preparing for independence
:05:18. > :05:27.after a yes vote, and claim their critics are simply trying to deflect
:05:28. > :05:29.attention from exaggerated cost estimates by the Treasury. This is
:05:30. > :05:32.prudent planning. In the event of a yes vote, we will need a transition
:05:33. > :05:34.team. These are internal appointments to establish a small
:05:35. > :05:38.team ready for the transition that will take place, so it is a
:05:39. > :05:41.transition team, internal appointments, and I think Better
:05:42. > :05:45.Together are getting overexcited and should possibly pay a bit more
:05:46. > :05:48.attention to the comments of the permanent Secretary about the
:05:49. > :05:53.Treasury's figures, rather than criticising anybody else. This
:05:54. > :05:54.controversy may persist, but ministers resolutely deny they are
:05:55. > :05:57.trying to keep any costs secret. Students who lost work
:05:58. > :06:00.in the recent fire at Glasgow School Around a third of the 102 fine art
:06:01. > :06:04.students lost their work in the fire which swept through the
:06:05. > :06:07.Mackintosh building four weeks ago. But today they celebrated their
:06:08. > :06:10.achievements, as well as honouring the firefighters who fought to save
:06:11. > :06:12.the building and its contents. Our arts correspondent
:06:13. > :06:26.Pauline McLean reports. For weeks on from the darkest day in
:06:27. > :06:33.Glasgow School of Art's history, and a much more joyful gathering. Hannah
:06:34. > :06:38.Blackwell. Among those graduating today, 102 fine art students who had
:06:39. > :06:44.to abandon their studios and four years' work when the fire broke out.
:06:45. > :06:49.It was bittersweet for Alec, who won the top award for his year, despite
:06:50. > :06:54.losing all his work in the fire. Pretty much everything, but
:06:55. > :06:57.something good has come of it, so that is a huge positive, I think,
:06:58. > :07:01.despite everything that has happened. We all graduated on the
:07:02. > :07:05.day we were suppose to graduate, and everything has gone ahead, so that
:07:06. > :07:09.is very pleasing. The new Barry Medel is named after the founder of
:07:10. > :07:13.the school, the man who commissioned McIntosh to build on the first
:07:14. > :07:18.place. This is to honour the bravest act for which Glasgow School of Art
:07:19. > :07:23.will always be thankful. It was apt that a second medal was awarded to
:07:24. > :07:27.those who helped save it. The flow of gratitude to us has taken us by
:07:28. > :07:31.surprise. This is a culmination of all the accolades, to be invited to
:07:32. > :07:35.the actual graduation day, and the week of the fire was the graduation
:07:36. > :07:39.week, so we were extremely sympathetic. But to be here today
:07:40. > :07:43.and receive an honorary medal is absolutely outstanding. Now,
:07:44. > :07:47.thoughts turn to rebuilding both the students' work and the building
:07:48. > :07:51.itself, and some high-profile names are already backing the appeal. I
:07:52. > :07:59.was at Art School with Peter Capaldi, so that was easy! And we
:08:00. > :08:03.knew Brad Pitt was a huge Macintosh fan, and a friend of a friend, so we
:08:04. > :08:08.grovelled. We did not have to grovel very much, we phoned him up and he
:08:09. > :08:12.said yes immediately. Graduation day is normally the end of studies at
:08:13. > :08:16.any school, but for the class of 2014, this is just beginning. Many
:08:17. > :08:21.fine art students will return in the next term to recreate the work they
:08:22. > :08:23.lost in the fire, and almost all of them are expected to return for a
:08:24. > :08:26.special degree show next spring. You're watching Reporting Scotland

:09:40. > :09:42.restructuring the locations of various squadrons around the air
:09:43. > :09:49.force, a decision was taken to bring in essence all of the aircraft from
:09:50. > :09:52.RAF Leuchars up to Lossiemouth, and the six Squadron arrival's at
:09:53. > :09:56.Lossiemouth marks the start of a transfer. The Typhoon is said to be
:09:57. > :10:00.some to be finest fast jet in the world, combining ground and air to
:10:01. > :10:05.air combat roles. Its arrival here in Moray was crucial to the area. In

:11:16. > :11:19.taking questions from members of the public. There are social media
:11:20. > :11:23.reporters there as well, and the idea is, after 15 minutes, the young
:11:24. > :11:27.people will move from one table to another. They call that world cafe
:11:28. > :11:34.style, but really, it is more like speed dating. Everyone is now moving
:11:35. > :11:39.from table to table. Let's go and have a word with some people and see
:11:40. > :11:42.how they were getting on. Excuse me. You are moving on to your next

:12:12. > :12:17.about to sit and speak to another minister, who is waiting here. What
:12:18. > :12:21.is your view so far? I believe we have the best of both worlds, and I
:12:22. > :12:26.want to keep it that way. So you have a tough job on your hands now.
:12:27. > :12:30.Equally from no and yes side, this is a chance to talk and discuss. The
:12:31. > :12:34.ministers coming in and open to the young people is great, because we
:12:35. > :12:39.are often neglected in society. Can I ask you if you're persuaded one of
:12:40. > :12:43.the? I am a strong yes. Some young people here are even filming the
:12:44. > :12:46.event. They have taken over the Scottish Government's YouTube

:16:28. > :16:40.Back at the scene of his greatest triumph, a warm Wimbledon welcome
:16:41. > :16:46.awaits. It was a bit of a nailbiter at the practice courts, what would
:16:47. > :16:50.the draw throw up? It plotted this potential par-4 Andy Murray. He will
:16:51. > :16:57.open on Centre Court on Monday against David Coffin, before
:16:58. > :17:01.possibly facing two Spaniards. Medel Monday could see a rematch with his
:17:02. > :17:05.Davis Cup conqueror, before a tricky run to the final which could involve
:17:06. > :17:10.matches against David Ferrer air and the world's top two, Novak Djokovic
:17:11. > :17:14.and Rafael Nadal. This is where it all begins at one o'clock on Monday
:17:15. > :17:18.afternoon. Of course, it is over three quarters of a century since a
:17:19. > :17:21.British man last walked onto Centre Court of the defending Wimbledon
:17:22. > :17:27.champion, so how does Andy Murray feel about the prospect? I would
:17:28. > :17:33.expect to feel pride, but also pressure, and some nerves as well. I
:17:34. > :17:37.am looking forward to it. It is something I have never experienced
:17:38. > :17:42.before. I don't know how I will handle the situation. No one does,
:17:43. > :17:49.but it will be interesting for me to see how I deal with it on Monday. It
:17:50. > :17:56.will be music to many years if Andy Murray can produce his best again
:17:57. > :17:58.here, and expect Henman Hill to be much busier on Monday lunchtime.

:18:03. > :18:05.Head coach Vern Cotter will field an almost totally changed team
:18:06. > :18:09.And as Alasdair Lamont reports, a win might help us get over
:18:10. > :18:26.This stadium in Cordoba, Argentina, may at first glimpse seem
:18:27. > :18:34.unremarkable. But the mole observant amongst you might just feel a shiver
:18:35. > :18:39.down your spine. It was here in 1978 that Scotland's World Cup dream was
:18:40. > :18:44.extinguished, as first we lost to Peru, then stumbled to a draw
:18:45. > :18:49.against Iran. The Scottish pain is long forgotten by the people of
:18:50. > :18:53.Cordoba, a city where in some respects it feels like 1978 never
:18:54. > :18:58.ended. Here, the World Cup is again on everybody's minds, but for
:18:59. > :19:02.tonight at least, it is rugby that takes centre stage. A different
:19:03. > :19:07.Scotland team is in town, different from 1978, but also different from
:19:08. > :19:13.the last two tests. Fern Cotter is looking to examine all have his
:19:14. > :19:16.options. The primary objective is to give players an opportunity, so we
:19:17. > :19:20.looked at some of those things we tried to put in place that didn't
:19:21. > :19:23.work, and we are going to try it this week with another group of
:19:24. > :19:27.guys. One man with more of a reason than most to be positive is Grant
:19:28. > :19:34.Gilchrist. At just 23, he has been given the captain. There are a lot
:19:35. > :19:38.of guys that have been performing well at club level, and are now
:19:39. > :19:42.getting a chance to show that on the international stage. It is an
:19:43. > :19:45.exciting team, and one that can get a result, I believe. Previous
:19:46. > :19:48.Scottish teams have come to Cordoba with confidence as well. Perhaps
:19:49. > :19:50.this time round, that confidence will not be misplaced.
:19:51. > :19:55.Now, a look at what else is happening across Scottish sport.
:19:56. > :20:02.Rangers are speaking to former player Kristian Nelis get about

:20:40. > :20:42.A lot of the boys work together, plumbers and electricians, all in
:20:43. > :20:47.the same job, so there will be some bragging rights to whoever comes out

:21:03. > :21:05.That is all from me for now. A few miles off the coast between
:21:06. > :21:08.East Lothian and Fife lies the Isle of May - one of the best places
:21:09. > :21:11.in Scotland to watch seabirds. This is the live view from the
:21:12. > :21:15.mainland on a spectacular evening. Our environment correspondent
:21:16. > :21:19.David Miller is on the isle for us. David, more people will be headed
:21:20. > :21:38.onto the island, with That is the plan, certainly, Sally,
:21:39. > :21:41.and what a spectacular place, as you say, to spend a summer day. Let me
:21:42. > :21:46.talk you through the view. From here, I can see right the way across
:21:47. > :21:50.to North Berwick and the Pentland Hill is, further up the Firth of
:21:51. > :21:54.Forth. To my left, the southern coastline of five, stretching all
:21:55. > :21:59.the way down there to the beautiful East Neuk. This place, as you say,
:22:00. > :22:01.famous for its sea bird colonies and of five, stretching all the way down
:22:02. > :22:04.there to the beautiful East Neuk. This place, as you say, famous for
:22:05. > :22:06.its sea bird colonies and other wildlife. That is all the more
:22:07. > :22:11.remarkable when you consider just how close we are to big cities like
:22:12. > :22:17.Edinburgh and Dundee. So near, and yet so far. The Isle of May and its
:22:18. > :22:21.spectacular sea bird colonies are easy to reach from our big cities,
:22:22. > :22:26.but it feels like a world apart. From the charismatic and colourful
:22:27. > :22:32.puffins to be noisy and aggressive arctic terms, this little island has
:22:33. > :22:36.a lot to offer, including a brand-new visitors' centre to
:22:37. > :22:40.provide shelter when the weather is less than kind. Scotland is such a
:22:41. > :22:45.lucky place to have really outstanding showcases for nature, if
:22:46. > :22:49.you like, on the doorstep of some of its major conurbations, and this is
:22:50. > :22:53.one of the best. What you find when you get here is an extraordinary
:22:54. > :23:01.place with 200,000 breeding sea birds. So what you have here are
:23:02. > :23:05.really happy, aggressive turns? They are defending their nests against
:23:06. > :23:08.us, thinking we are predators. At the height of the breeding season,
:23:09. > :23:14.it is the Arctic turns that make the biggest impression, an occupational
:23:15. > :23:17.hazard for scientists. This is an outdoor, natural laboratory, so we
:23:18. > :23:23.are spending a lot of our time looking at the birds, recording
:23:24. > :23:28.their behaviour, recording how many birds are breeding, how many are
:23:29. > :23:32.surviving. Food shortages and the changing climate have been
:23:33. > :23:35.identified as the two biggest threats to Scotland's sea birds, and
:23:36. > :23:43.their future may be uncertain, but their appeal endures. There are
:23:44. > :23:47.other attractions here, of course, like Stephenson's lighthouse and the
:23:48. > :23:51.wartime defences, so the Isle of May, well worth thinking about with
:23:52. > :23:56.the summer holidays on the way. Actor you. Thank you much. Glad you
:23:57. > :24:06.survived with your hair in tact! And now, the weather. What a week it has
:24:07. > :24:09.been for most of us. Still a lot of fine weather on the cards. This has
:24:10. > :24:15.been the picture for most of this week, with high-pressure anchored
:24:16. > :24:18.out to the west. To the far north, fairly weak weather fronts bringing
:24:19. > :24:25.something cloudier and damper to the northern and Western Isles. This
:24:26. > :24:31.also includes Aberdeenshire. Elsewhere, dry with clear spells.
:24:32. > :24:35.Not a cold night, ten or 11 Celsius in towns and cities. Seven or eight
:24:36. > :24:38.in central highland glands. In central highland glands. Into
:24:39. > :24:42.tomorrow, more of the same. Still the emperors is and dry, bright
:24:43. > :24:46.weather, with good spells of sunshine across most of the country.
:24:47. > :24:50.Cloudy for Orkney, the Northern Isles, the northern islands in the
:24:51. > :24:55.north-east. The best of sunshine to the south, and if we look around
:24:56. > :24:59.four o'clock, a lovely afternoon for Dumfries Galloway, the Borders,
:25:00. > :25:04.through the central belt, into Argyll and the central highlands.
:25:05. > :25:08.Temperatures into the high teens. Here, cloudier once again. If you
:25:09. > :25:10.spots of rain for Orkney, the north-west coast and Lewis. Shetland
:25:11. > :25:16.Shetland gets away with a decent day. Decent sunshine, but a bit on
:25:17. > :25:20.the cool side. And in the hills tomorrow, a cloudier prospect across
:25:21. > :25:24.more northern regions. The best of the sunshine across the Galloway
:25:25. > :25:29.hills on the border hills, but mild temperatures, six to eight Celsius
:25:30. > :25:33.across the summits. For the Queen's Baton relay tomorrow, it is East
:25:34. > :25:37.Ayrshire's turn, and it looks fine, blue skies, some sunshine, Tunbridge
:25:38. > :25:41.is eventually up to 17 Celsius in the afternoon. For the rest of the
:25:42. > :25:53.afternoon, not much changes tomorrow. Mainly dry, some evening
:25:54. > :25:56.sunshine on offer. Still if you spots of rain in the far north. Into
:25:57. > :25:59.Sunday, the high stars to pull away, allowing this fronts to push on from
:26:00. > :26:01.the North West. Some more in the way of showery rain put the Highlands,
:26:02. > :26:04.the north-east of the mainland, with central and southern Scotland mainly
:26:05. > :26:08.dry, but a bit cloudier. That is the forecast.
:26:09. > :26:12.I'll be back with the headlines at 8 and the late bulletin just
:26:13. > :26:16.Until then, from everyone on the team - right across the
