:00:07. > :00:15.Good evening. The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has urged people in

:00:16. > :00:18.Scotland to help change the UK for the better by rejecting

:00:19. > :00:22.independence. However, his claims are being dismissed by the Yes

:00:23. > :00:25.campaign, who say he can't guarantee change because it's becoming less

:00:26. > :00:27.likely that he'll win the next general election. Steven Godden

:00:28. > :00:32.reports. Enough time for a photo and a quick

:00:33. > :00:38.chat. Ed Miliband's referendum tour stops briefly in Livingston. The

:00:39. > :00:43.day's tone was set in Edinburgh. The Labour leader set out his vision

:00:44. > :00:47.for a Scotland that votes No and is instead at the forefront of

:00:48. > :00:52.radically changing the UK. Together, we can change our country

:00:53. > :00:55.and go on to improve our world. Not a Scotland outside the United

:00:56. > :01:01.Kingdom, but leading the way within it. Friends, that is why I ask you

:01:02. > :01:06.to vote No in the referendum. And say Yes to changing Britain.

:01:07. > :01:11.Underpinning the message, the detail. A higher minimum wage, an

:01:12. > :01:16.end to zero hours contracts, a 50p tax rate. All set out last month as

:01:17. > :01:20.part of a proposed contract with the Scottish people. Edinburgh's

:01:21. > :01:23.historic Old Town offered Ed Miliband a fresh backdrop for his

:01:24. > :01:30.well rehearsed vision of Scotland's future within the UK. But away from

:01:31. > :01:36.these famous cobbles, there were some revealing insights. At lunch,

:01:37. > :01:39.he told parliamentary journalists that, if an independent Scotland

:01:40. > :01:42.pursued a looser policy on immigration, a Labour government

:01:43. > :01:50.would look at the issue of border posts. Look at Ireland say his

:01:51. > :01:54.opponents. A border with no guards within a Common Travel Area. Typical

:01:55. > :01:58.of a message, they say, that ignores Scotland's needs. The trouble with

:01:59. > :02:01.anything Ed Miliband says is he cannot guarantee change. It is

:02:02. > :02:08.looking less and less likely he can win a UK general election. And I

:02:09. > :02:12.think what people in Scotland will reflect on is the fact that we have

:02:13. > :02:16.ended up with this highly unequal, highly unfair society is as much the

:02:17. > :02:19.product of the years of New Labour government as it is the years of

:02:20. > :02:22.Conservative government. For both sides, a ticking clock equals a

:02:23. > :02:27.squeeze on subtlety. 12 weeks today, voters will have had the final say.

:02:28. > :02:31.Scotland's most wanted tax fugitive has been jailed for a total of 11.5

:02:32. > :02:34.years at the High Court in Edinburgh. Michael Voudouri admitted

:02:35. > :02:38.cheating the taxman out of ?11.6 million, before fleeing to Cyprus to

:02:39. > :02:44.avoid going to jail. He was extradited back to Scotland last

:02:45. > :02:47.month. A man has appeared at Haddington

:02:48. > :02:49.Sheriff Court charged in connection with online threats against

:02:50. > :02:53.Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond. 43-year-old Steven Thomson

:02:54. > :02:58.from Renfrew made no plea during the hearing. He has been charged with

:02:59. > :03:02.threatening or abusive behaviour. He was released on bail and will be

:03:03. > :03:11.expected to appear in court again at a date which is yet to be set.

:03:12. > :03:14.Tunnocks and Lees of Scotland are in line for a combined tax rebate of

:03:15. > :03:17.?2.8 million, after winning an appeal against a claim from Her

:03:18. > :03:21.Majesty's Revenue and Customs which defined Snowballs as confectionary.

:03:22. > :03:24.After sampling the products, judges at the First Tier Tax Tribunal ruled

:03:25. > :03:29.they should be characterised as a cake, which means they're exempt

:03:30. > :03:32.from VAT. Andy Murray is through to the last

:03:33. > :03:35.16 at Wimbledon after a straight sets win over the 27th seed, Roberto

:03:36. > :03:38.Bautista Agut. The defending champion is yet to drop a set in

:03:39. > :03:42.this championship. Kheredine Idessane reports from the All

:03:43. > :03:52.England Club. Yes, Andy Murray's somewhat serene

:03:53. > :03:57.progress continued with a game that went according to plan against

:03:58. > :04:00.Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut. The server was broken as early as the

:04:01. > :04:10.third game and after that it was pretty much plain sailing, the first

:04:11. > :04:15.set 6-2, then 6-3, and built up a 4-0 lead in the third set then did

:04:16. > :04:23.not look back he needed four match point, sealing it out in one hour

:04:24. > :04:30.and 36 minutes. Terrific stuff, through to the fourth round on

:04:31. > :04:35.Monday, playing South Africa's Kevin Anderson for a place in the

:04:36. > :04:41.quarterfinals. In a boost of the Commonwealth

:04:42. > :04:44.Games, Usain Bolt says he's available for selection for Glasgow.

:04:45. > :04:47.But the Jamaican is injured and, if he does make it, he'll only be

:04:48. > :04:50.competing in the relay. Catriona Renton reports.

:04:51. > :04:55.We get the chance, perhaps, to see history in the making...

:04:56. > :05:01.He holds the world records for 100 and 200m. But a Commonwealth medal

:05:02. > :05:04.is one he has yet to achieve. Usain Bolt says he's received lots of

:05:05. > :05:11.requests, invitations and messages of support from his fans in Scotland

:05:12. > :05:16.to take part in Glasgow 2014. And in a message on his website, he says he

:05:17. > :05:21.is available for selection. Final preparations are being made here for

:05:22. > :05:24.the track and field events. And imagine the Hampden roar from more

:05:25. > :05:30.than 50,000 fans if the fastest man on earth whizzes by.

:05:31. > :05:36.This is where Usain Bolt would take his mark. He can reach speeds of

:05:37. > :05:44.almost 28mph. And in the time it's taken me to get here, he would have

:05:45. > :05:49.crossed the finishing line. I think the fact that he has put his

:05:50. > :05:53.hand up and said I want to be there and, please consider me part of the

:05:54. > :05:56.team if I can add value. Well, we all know he is an absolutely

:05:57. > :06:01.fantastic athlete. The fastest man in the world. And in Glasgow today,

:06:02. > :06:08.it seems he's an inspiration. He's the fastest man in the world.

:06:09. > :06:11.He is a world-record holder. So maybe that will bring a bit more

:06:12. > :06:15.excitement to the Commonwealth Games. So if he does join names like

:06:16. > :06:18.Mo Farah and Sir Bradley Wiggins, the man who is as quick as

:06:19. > :06:20.lightning, and quite a character to boot, could be a star attraction at

:06:21. > :06:33.the games. Now for the weather. Generally dry across most of the

:06:34. > :06:37.country, some light showers around, but fairly cool especially across

:06:38. > :06:42.the West Highlands and parts of Argyll. Mostly dry this weekend,

:06:43. > :06:46.north-east breeze pushing thicker cloud across the Northeast and

:06:47. > :06:51.Easter and side of the country. Best sunshine in the west and south-west.

:06:52. > :06:55.Through mid-afternoon, for a clog the warmest part of the day, up to

:06:56. > :07:00.maybe 19 degrees across the south-west, cooler along the east

:07:01. > :07:05.coast including Edinburgh and Dundee, some light showers here,

:07:06. > :07:11.decent spells of sunshine inland. A breeze across the northern Nile is

:07:12. > :07:14.adding to the cool feel. -- Northern Isles stop late sunshine in the

:07:15. > :07:21.evening, especially where you see the sunshine in the day. Cool on

:07:22. > :07:25.Sunday. Sunshine through the central belt and southern uplands.

:07:26. > :07:30.Temperatures may be 18 or 19 degrees.

:07:31. > :07:31.Thank you, Chris. Have a good weekend. Good

:07:32. > :07:35.move towards Sunday. The top temperature again 20. Fewer showers.

:07:36. > :07:39.Most out towards the east. That's the way it is looking.

:07:40. > :07:47.Good evening. For some the weather put on a show today - lightning and

:07:48. > :07:53.hail. For others more of a no-show. Showers at Wimbledon stayed away.

:07:54. > :07:54.They were further west. Torrential downpours with the
