:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me -
:00:00. > :00:14.Tonight on Reporting Scotland... . Ed Miliband says, "Elect a Labour
:00:15. > :00:17.government and reject independence." Yes campaigners say it's a guarantee
:00:18. > :00:21.he can't deliver, because it's becoming less likely that Labour
:00:22. > :00:25.will win the next general election. Lightning speed. The fastest man on
:00:26. > :00:34.earth says he hopes to compete in Glasgow at the Commonwealth Games.
:00:35. > :00:38.He is the fastest man in the world. Faster than a rocket! More
:00:39. > :00:43.excitement to the Commonwealth Games. Usain Bolt is recovering from
:00:44. > :00:45.injury, but hopes to be fit in time for the Games.
:00:46. > :00:48.Also on the programme... Scotland's most wanted tax fugitive
:00:49. > :00:53.has been jailed for a total of 11.5 years.
:00:54. > :00:57.I am at Bannockburn, I head off this weekend's re-enactments of Bruce's
:00:58. > :01:02.victory at the Battle of Bannockburn, 700 years on.
:01:03. > :01:04.And Andy Murray prepares to head onto Centre Court for his third
:01:05. > :01:17.round match. Good evening. The Labour leader, Ed
:01:18. > :01:20.Miliband, has urged people in Scotland to help change the UK for
:01:21. > :01:25.the better by rejecting independence. However, his claims
:01:26. > :01:28.are being dismissed by the Yes campaign, who say he can't guarantee
:01:29. > :01:32.change because it's becoming less likely that he'll win the next
:01:33. > :01:37.general election. Later, Mr Miliband also told
:01:38. > :01:39.journalists that a future Labour government would consider border
:01:40. > :01:46.controls with an independent Scotland.
:01:47. > :01:52.Enough time for a photograph and a quick chat, Ed Miliband's referendum
:01:53. > :01:56.to stopping briefly in Livingston. The tone was set in Edinburgh with
:01:57. > :02:00.the Labour leader setting out his vision for a Scotland that votes now
:02:01. > :02:07.and is instead at the forefront of radically changing the UK. -- votes
:02:08. > :02:11.No. We can change the country and change the world, not a Scotland
:02:12. > :02:17.outside the United Kingdom, but leading the way with in it. Friends,
:02:18. > :02:23.that is why I asked you to vote No in the referendum and say Yes to
:02:24. > :02:30.changing. Underpinning the message, the detail, a higher minimum wage,
:02:31. > :02:35.ended 20 hours contract, a 50p tax rate, set out last month as part of
:02:36. > :02:40.his proposed contract with the Scottish people. Edinburgh's
:02:41. > :02:44.historic old town offered a fresh background for the well rehearsed
:02:45. > :02:49.vision of Scotland's future within the UK, but away from these cobbles,
:02:50. > :02:54.there were some revealing insights. At lunch, he told parliamentary
:02:55. > :02:57.journalist is that, if an independent Scotland pursued a
:02:58. > :03:01.looser policy on immigration, a Labour government would look at
:03:02. > :03:06.border post, and he said to look at Ireland, a border with no guards
:03:07. > :03:12.within a Common travel area, typical of a message that ignored is
:03:13. > :03:16.Scotland's needs, they have said. He cannot guarantee change, it is
:03:17. > :03:20.looking less and less likely he can win a UK general election. And what
:03:21. > :03:25.people in Scotland will reflect on is where we have ended up with this
:03:26. > :03:30.highly unequal and unfair society is much a product of new Labour as it
:03:31. > :03:36.is the Conservative Party. For both sides, ticking clock, 12 weeks
:03:37. > :03:41.today, voters will have had the final say.
:03:42. > :03:45.He's the fastest man on earth. And now, in a boost for the Commonwealth
:03:46. > :03:48.Games, Usain Bolt says he's available for selection for Glasgow.
:03:49. > :03:52.But the Jamaican has a foot injury. And if he does make it, he'll only
:03:53. > :03:58.be competing in the relay. Catriona Renton reports.
:03:59. > :04:05.We get the chance, perhaps, to see history in the making. He holds the
:04:06. > :04:10.world records for the 100th and 200 metres, but a Commonwealth medal is
:04:11. > :04:15.one he has yet to achieve. Usain Bolt says he has received lots of
:04:16. > :04:20.requests, invitations and messages of support from his Scottish fans to
:04:21. > :04:26.take part in Glasgow 2014, and in a message on his website, he says he
:04:27. > :04:31.is available for selection. Final preparations are being made for the
:04:32. > :04:36.track and field events. Imagine the Hamdan Rohrer from more than 50,000
:04:37. > :04:43.fans if the fastest man out whizzes by. -- Hampden roar. This is where
:04:44. > :04:49.he would take his mark, and in the time it has taken me to get here, he
:04:50. > :04:53.would have crossed the finish line. There has been some doubt over
:04:54. > :04:57.whether he will compete. He says he is not ready to take part in the
:04:58. > :05:02.Jamaican Championships weekend and does not want to take the place of
:05:03. > :05:07.anyone who qualifies for an individual event, but is available
:05:08. > :05:13.for the four times 100m really. The fact that he wants to be there, and
:05:14. > :05:18.please consider me part of the team, that could add value, and we all
:05:19. > :05:23.know he is an absolutely fantastic athlete, the fastest man in the
:05:24. > :05:31.world. And in Glasgow, it seems he is an inspiration. He is the fastest
:05:32. > :05:36.man in the world. He is as fast as a rocket. A world record holder, maybe
:05:37. > :05:43.bringing more excitement to the Commonwealth Games. So if he joins
:05:44. > :05:49.names like Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mo Farah, the man who is as quick as
:05:50. > :05:54.lightning and quite a character, he could add some value to the games.
:05:55. > :05:59.Scotland's most wanted tax fugitive has been jailed for a total of 11.5
:06:00. > :06:02.years. Michael Voudouri admitted cheating the taxman out of ?11.6
:06:03. > :06:07.million, before fleeing to Cyprus to avoid going to jail. He was
:06:08. > :06:15.extradited back to Scotland last month. Julie Peacock reports.
:06:16. > :06:19.This man was once Scotland's most wanted tax fugitive and today, two
:06:20. > :06:24.years after fleeing to Northern Cyprus to avoid prison, he was
:06:25. > :06:27.jailed for a total of 11.5 years. Michael Voudouri was part of a
:06:28. > :06:33.complex money-laundering scheme which involved claiming back VAT on
:06:34. > :06:38.bogus transactions. He admitted conning the taxman out of ?11.6
:06:39. > :06:44.million. Then fleeing the country after admitting the crime in 2012.
:06:45. > :06:49.Today, he got ten years for the tax fraud and a further 18 months or
:06:50. > :06:54.going on the run. But so far, not 1p of the money stolen has been
:06:55. > :07:01.returned. Even though he enjoys a luxury lifestyle. Michael Voudouri
:07:02. > :07:06.spoke to the BBC five years ago about a previous conviction, which
:07:07. > :07:12.saw him go to jail for a ?3 million tax evasion. Then he appeared
:07:13. > :07:18.blatantly an awful. Yes, I stole ?3 million, went guilty and -- pled
:07:19. > :07:26.guilty and went to jail. We has the money gone? I spent it on a good
:07:27. > :07:31.life. 19 people were named as part of this money-laundering scam, but
:07:32. > :07:37.only three convicted. Today, Michael Voudouri's lawyer wanted to know why
:07:38. > :07:41.the others did not face justice. The crime will claim today I am finally
:07:42. > :07:48.facing justice, but at best, HMRC have turned a blind eye to millions
:07:49. > :07:51.of lines of tax fraud. An accusation HMRC refused, saying Michael
:07:52. > :07:58.Voudouri was a key player in the scam. We carried evidence from
:07:59. > :08:03.across the globe, it was complex, denies crime, but thankfully, to
:08:04. > :08:08.date, we see Michael Voudouri, who we believe was the mastermind behind
:08:09. > :08:16.this fraud, we see him behind bars. Revenue and Customs is now trying to
:08:17. > :08:19.get the money back from Mr Voudouri. A man has appeared in court in East
:08:20. > :08:21.Lothian, charged in connection with online threats against Scotland's
:08:22. > :08:24.First Minister Alex Salmond. Steven Thomson, who is 43-years-old and
:08:25. > :08:28.from Renfrew, made no plea during the hearing at Haddington Sheriff
:08:29. > :08:33.Court. He has been charged with threatening or abusive behaviour. He
:08:34. > :08:37.was released on bail and will be expected to appear in court again at
:08:38. > :08:40.a date which is yet to be set. You're watching Reporting Scotland
:08:41. > :08:48.from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's programme... A hint of
:08:49. > :08:51.menace as the Queen's Baton Relay visits Dundee.
:08:52. > :08:55.In sport, we're live at Wimbledon where Andy Murray is playing for a
:08:56. > :08:57.place in the last 16 of the men's singles.
:08:58. > :09:01.And surfs up. We're at the beach with the Scotland rugby team as they
:09:02. > :09:05.prepare to play South Africa. Stirling is preparing to host the
:09:06. > :09:10.annual UK Armed Forces Day. It's only the second time it's been held
:09:11. > :09:14.in Scotland. Visitors can expect the Red Arrows, Apache helicopters and
:09:15. > :09:16.parachute displays. Ahead of the celebrations, our Referendum
:09:17. > :09:19.Correspondent Laura Bicker assesses what impact independence would have
:09:20. > :09:28.on the forces and what an independent Scottish Defence Force
:09:29. > :09:33.might look like. This is a show of strength.
:09:34. > :09:38.Terrorists have captured hostages, these marines aimed to bring them
:09:39. > :09:44.home. It is the kind of situation UK forces face. But what would be the
:09:45. > :09:49.threat to an independent Scotland? In terms of evident threats, there
:09:50. > :09:54.really are not any. It is not exactly clear what would be a threat
:09:55. > :09:58.to the nation of Scotland. As its own independent state. This
:09:59. > :10:03.demonstration follows years of training and experience in the likes
:10:04. > :10:06.of Afghanistan and Iraq. But an independent Scottish Defence Force
:10:07. > :10:11.would focus more inwardly on its coastline and on a peacekeeping
:10:12. > :10:15.role. That is something this former lieutenant commander in the Royal
:10:16. > :10:19.Navy believes we do not do at the moment. We have lost amphibious
:10:20. > :10:25.capability, we do not have conventional warships, and the UK
:10:26. > :10:31.and Scotland no longer have a maritime patrol aircraft capability.
:10:32. > :10:35.We are wide open. UK forces have seized one round of redundancies
:10:36. > :10:41.after another. Just last week, these tycoons were moved to Lossiemouth,
:10:42. > :10:45.more changes to Scottish bases. But those against independence say the
:10:46. > :10:49.referendum adds further uncertainty. After 38 years in the reserves and
:10:50. > :10:54.regular army, one former major believes we would lose valuable
:10:55. > :10:59.expertise. We are country as the United Kingdom that punches way
:11:00. > :11:04.above our weight. And we do it well. I know from my time in Bosnia and
:11:05. > :11:08.Afghanistan how well-respected we are as unarmed forces unit. Many
:11:09. > :11:13.have wondered why an event of this magnitude has been placed in the
:11:14. > :11:17.shadow of Stirling Castle in the year of the referendum. Whatever the
:11:18. > :11:21.politics, this is a time to honour those who serve. They have just
:11:22. > :11:25.under three months to reflect on the choices they face on September the
:11:26. > :11:28.18th. Religious leaders in Scotland's
:11:29. > :11:31.Muslim communities have used the traditional Friday prayers to urge
:11:32. > :11:36.young men not to join the fighting in Syria. The message was in
:11:37. > :11:39.response to the appearance of a Muslim man from Aberdeen in a
:11:40. > :11:49.recruitment video for the extremist militant group Isis. -- ISIS.
:11:50. > :11:57.Traditional five-day players, the imam, condemning the radical actions
:11:58. > :12:01.of a man who used to play here. He urges others not to follow the same
:12:02. > :12:07.path and for elders to steer them away from extremism. Many channels
:12:08. > :12:18.on you Tube, Twitter, Facebook, Internet, and if you do not find as
:12:19. > :12:21.United, -- us united... This is a community which has become even more
:12:22. > :12:28.united in the last few days, they are together in their condemnation
:12:29. > :12:34.of this one urging Muslim men in the West to join him as a fighter for
:12:35. > :12:36.the Syrian militant group ISIS. Friday is the traditional news on
:12:37. > :12:41.holiday when the most number of people come here to the mosques. At
:12:42. > :12:46.this one in Aberdeen, the message from the imam has been helped by a
:12:47. > :12:53.couple of hundred people. It has been echoed to many thousands across
:12:54. > :12:57.Scotland. In Glasgow, the Muslim community offers the same message to
:12:58. > :13:03.its worshippers in terms it says are clear. It is not right, definitely
:13:04. > :13:08.wrong, just unfortunate that they have picked up the wrong message
:13:09. > :13:13.from somewhere. I can 100% stand on that and Muhammad, peace be on him,
:13:14. > :13:18.never practised anything like that. Muslim community here are still in
:13:19. > :13:23.shock at the path taken by one worshipper and they have worked hard
:13:24. > :13:24.to make sure this man does not cause reputational damage to Scotland's
:13:25. > :13:35.Muslims. A look at other stories from the
:13:36. > :13:38.across the country... A mid-air collision between an RAF
:13:39. > :13:41.Tornado and a helicopter over Grantown-on-Spey on the 30th of
:13:42. > :13:45.January was narrowly avoided, thanks to the action taken by the jet's
:13:46. > :13:48.crew. That's according to a report into the incident. The aircraft came
:13:49. > :13:53.within one nautical mile of each other, before the evasive action.
:13:54. > :13:56.Tunnocks and Lees of Scotland are in line for a combined tax rebate of
:13:57. > :14:00.?2.8 million, after winning their case for Snowballs to be defined as
:14:01. > :14:03.cakes and therefore exempt from VAT. The companies appealed a claim from
:14:04. > :14:07.Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs which defined Snowballs as
:14:08. > :14:10.confectionary. After sampling the products, judges at the First Tier
:14:11. > :14:17.Tax Tribunal ruled they should be characterised as a cake.
:14:18. > :14:21.Thousands of pipers and drummers descend on the town of Forres this
:14:22. > :14:25.weekend for the European Pipe Band Championships. The event will
:14:26. > :14:32.feature more than 115 bands and has attracted musicians from around the
:14:33. > :14:38.world. We have been competing several times in Switzerland and
:14:39. > :14:42.even in Scotland. And, well, this is kind of a highlight for everybody in
:14:43. > :14:48.the band to be here in Forres, one of the best pipe band competitions,
:14:49. > :14:52.I have heard, best organised, and an honour for us to be here.
:14:53. > :14:56.The ferry routes to Orkney's Outer North Isles have finally returned to
:14:57. > :14:59.a full roll-on, roll-off service. Bow doors on two of the three
:15:00. > :15:03.vessels have been out of operation for over a year now. It meant
:15:04. > :15:06.drivers had to reverse on and off the ferries at Kirkwall pier, at
:15:07. > :15:10.times leading to delays. Animal welfare officers were called
:15:11. > :15:15.to rescue a reptile from a tree in Thurso, only to find it was a cuddly
:15:16. > :15:20.toy nailed to a branch. A passer-by spotted what she thought was an
:15:21. > :15:23.iguana. SSPCA inspectors say the caller was shocked when she found
:15:24. > :15:30.out, because she thought she'd seen it blink.
:15:31. > :15:34.Final rehearsals are underway in Bannockburn for a re-enactment of
:15:35. > :15:39.the battle that saw the forces of Robert the Bruce defeat the English
:15:40. > :15:43.army 700 years ago. However, only two thirds of tickets for the event
:15:44. > :15:47.have been sold so far. Our reporter Willie Johnston is in Bannockburn
:15:48. > :15:54.tonight. Where are you?
:15:55. > :15:58.Yes, at Bannockburn, and medieval village has sprung up in the past
:15:59. > :16:02.few hours as followers and foot soldiers of Robert the Bruce and
:16:03. > :16:07.King Edward the second of England have set up camp ahead of this
:16:08. > :16:10.weekend's big Devon Hundred years commemoration. Living history, these
:16:11. > :16:14.people staying in character all weekend, very relaxed at the moment,
:16:15. > :16:20.but this is the calm before the storm.
:16:21. > :16:26.The Battle of Bannockburn, 2014, re-versioned by this trust. They
:16:27. > :16:32.have been choreographing and rehearsing for one year and today is
:16:33. > :16:36.the first time the group has come together in its bloodcurdling,
:16:37. > :16:41.terrifying entirety. 200 warriors taking the place of 20,000.
:16:42. > :16:49.Bite-size Bannockburn. What they are lacking in numbers, they can make up
:16:50. > :16:57.for in enthusiasm and velocity. Worked hard, no wind to aim low is.
:16:58. > :17:03.But it can be realistic. You are on the losing side? We came second. At
:17:04. > :17:09.the centre of it all, King Robert the Bruce and self, farmer Roy
:17:10. > :17:15.Ramsey fulfilling a lifelong dream to portray his personal hero.
:17:16. > :17:23.Something I wanted to do since I was a wee, wee lad. I wanted to be part
:17:24. > :17:27.of it. It is only part of a big festival incorporating culture, food
:17:28. > :17:33.and fine music. The music programme is stellar, one of the best line-ups
:17:34. > :17:40.of Celtic music, great names, two stages. We have discussions, book
:17:41. > :17:45.talk, huge clan village with over 40 clans from around the world. Ticket
:17:46. > :17:51.sales were slow when first going on the market, but organisers say they
:17:52. > :17:54.have picked up and expect around 15,000 to attend. Not far short of
:17:55. > :18:02.the number gathered on this field back in June 13 14.
:18:03. > :18:07.I think he lived to fight again. This is just part of a big weekend
:18:08. > :18:14.in Stirling. Tonight, starting at seven o'clock, and event called Pipe
:18:15. > :18:20.Fest, about 1600 pipers and dancers taking part. And tomorrow, to mark
:18:21. > :18:25.the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, Armed Forces Day, loads
:18:26. > :18:32.of events, with some highlights including displays by the red arrows
:18:33. > :18:37.and the parachuting team Red Devils. Thank you. And a big weekend from
:18:38. > :18:43.sport. Especially from Wimbledon. Indeed, yes. Andy Murray is on court
:18:44. > :18:46.at Wimbledon as I speak. He's playing Roberto Bautista Agut of
:18:47. > :18:49.Spain in the third round. Our tennis reporter Keheredine Idessane joins
:18:50. > :18:56.us now from the All England club. How's the defending champion doing?
:18:57. > :19:00.The news is good. We had to wait until half past six for a ball to be
:19:01. > :19:07.fit, because there was quite a long match earlier. -- to be hit. We can
:19:08. > :19:11.go live to some pictures and the news is good for fans of Andy
:19:12. > :19:17.Murray, because he has made a great start against Roberto Bautista Agut.
:19:18. > :19:23.He is leading by 3-1, he has broken the Spaniard 's serve. He then
:19:24. > :19:29.successfully held his own, a cracking start, because this is a
:19:30. > :19:35.big step up against opposition, two easy games so far, this against the
:19:36. > :19:40.world number 23. Andy Murray making an excellent start. The already
:19:41. > :19:45.knows who he will face in the next round on Monday if all goes to plan.
:19:46. > :19:53.Kevin Anderson of South Africa awaits. If all goes to plan for Andy
:19:54. > :19:56.Murray, and he gets through against Roberto Bautista Agut, he will play
:19:57. > :20:02.in the fourth round on Monday against the world number 18, Kevin
:20:03. > :20:05.Anderson. Great stuff though far, thing is crossed he can keep his
:20:06. > :20:10.form going. We have had some Scottish success, Colin Fleming,
:20:11. > :20:16.doing well in the mixed doubles, the gold winning duo, through to the
:20:17. > :20:20.next round. Fingers crossed, there will also be success for Andy
:20:21. > :20:26.Murray. If Andy Murray prevails, he will
:20:27. > :20:32.play a South African opponent. Scotland's rugby team play South
:20:33. > :20:38.African opponents tomorrow. The head coach thinks they can do it this
:20:39. > :20:43.time. Maybe. In a stadium named after South Africa's most iconic
:20:44. > :20:48.figure, Scotland's so far successful summer of adventure concludes with
:20:49. > :20:56.winning very much on their minds. There is a desire to do well and be
:20:57. > :21:01.competitive. As long as we stay concentrated, from start to finish,
:21:02. > :21:07.if we can keep the cord tight right to the end, we could give ourselves
:21:08. > :21:10.a chance. The tour started four weeks ago in Texas, they have been
:21:11. > :21:16.to Toronto, Argentina, ending here tomorrow in Port Elizabeth. And the
:21:17. > :21:22.players have been recuperating in the cool waters of the Indian Ocean.
:21:23. > :21:30.With stunning beaches close by, this was an opportunity just too good to
:21:31. > :21:34.miss. In Glasgow, you do not get to body surf and enjoy the waves as
:21:35. > :21:39.much as we have this week it has been really enjoyable. It has been
:21:40. > :21:44.their winter, but it is like summer back home. Dry ball, dry paddock,
:21:45. > :21:49.nice to throw the ball about in training and have a smile your face.
:21:50. > :21:55.IPod South Africa have not played in the stadium for three years. And the
:21:56. > :22:03.capacity crowd of 45,000 is expected. We need the bagpipes to
:22:04. > :22:09.keep us up. Hopefully we will see home support keeping the boys in the
:22:10. > :22:12.game. The team fly back to the UK on Sunday. As the sun goes down on
:22:13. > :22:21.another summer tour. And there's live coverage of South

:22:31. > :22:34.happening across Scottish sport. Kris Boys is back at Rangers. The
:22:35. > :22:37.striker signing a one year deal with the championship club. His first

:22:41. > :22:43.Michael Jamieson's won the 200m breast stroke at the British

:22:47. > :22:55.expecting tougher races at Glasgow 2014. It is going to be world-class
:22:56. > :22:58.and I will need to be in shape to break world records to be on the
:22:59. > :23:01.podium as well. Former world boxing champion Ricky
:23:02. > :23:03.Burns makes his comeback tonight. He fights unbeaten Motenegrin Dejan
:23:04. > :23:12.Zlaticanin in a WBC lightweight bout. He likes to come forward, and
:23:13. > :23:22.defeated in 18 fights with dirty knockouts, big puncher, -- 13
:23:23. > :23:24.knockouts. Need to give him that respect.
:23:25. > :23:26.England's Sir Bradley Wiggins will concentrate on track cycling at
:23:27. > :23:30.Glasgow 2014, preferring that to road events. The Tour de France
:23:31. > :23:32.winner isn't taking part in this year's tour.

:23:41. > :23:43.Thank you. The Commonwealth Games baton has
:23:44. > :23:47.spent the day in and around Dundee. Our reporter Graham Stewart has been
:23:48. > :23:52.following its progress. He is the last person you would
:23:53. > :23:57.trust with a baton, but Dennis the Menace on his best behaviour after
:23:58. > :24:01.he arrived by speedboat. Team Scotland's Doctor alongside to deal
:24:02. > :24:07.with any mishaps. He will play an important role in the nation's hopes
:24:08. > :24:11.for medal success. We work hard to keep the guys doing what they have
:24:12. > :24:16.to do, which is performed. How much are you looking forward to the
:24:17. > :24:22.games? Fantastic, great opportunity for the country. Injury is no
:24:23. > :24:26.barrier to playing sport, Dundee University student Elizabeth Ferris
:24:27. > :24:31.suffered a spinal-cord injury and has since gone on to find a local
:24:32. > :24:37.wheelchair rugby club. I am but sport is such a part of my life, it
:24:38. > :24:40.has been great. I wanted to share that with others. It does not matter
:24:41. > :24:45.which board, get out there and get on with it. Plenty of inspiration
:24:46. > :24:55.for young sports fans at this athletic stadium and one chance to
:24:56. > :25:02.join father as he held the baton. From its journey, this baton has
:25:03. > :25:08.wowed the crowds in the city of discovery and it reaches its peak
