:00:57. > :00:59.A 14-year-old boy has died while on an adventure holiday with the Scouts

:01:00. > :01:02.in Italy. Elliot Peacock from Newton Means near Glasgow had been taking

:01:03. > :01:06.part in an organised activity known as gorge scrambling which involved

:01:07. > :01:11.jumping into pools of water. He lost consciousness and died as he entered

:01:12. > :01:21.the water despite efforts to save him. Aileen Clarke reports.

:01:22. > :01:26.Flowers for a friend. This teenager was one of many who came back to

:01:27. > :01:34.this high school to remember their classmate. He was 14 years old from

:01:35. > :01:39.Newton Behrens and described as a popular boy, just being around him

:01:40. > :01:44.made you feel happy, said a friend. He was on an adventure holiday with

:01:45. > :01:51.a Scout unit, travelling from this church hall in East Renfrewshire to

:01:52. > :01:59.Italy. The trip was run by Akon Adventure. Elliott died yesterday

:02:00. > :02:06.afternoon while taking part in gorge scrambling in a national park. The

:02:07. > :02:10.company said that as this participant entered the water, it

:02:11. > :02:21.was obvious to instructor something was wrong.

:02:22. > :02:37.Elliott?s family has now flown to Italy. There is huge sympathy. This

:02:38. > :02:41.is a nightmare for the family. Every parent wants to be able to send

:02:42. > :02:46.their child on an adventure holiday. This will be of little comfort to

:02:47. > :02:51.the family in their time of grief. I can only hope that the fact that

:02:52. > :02:57.friends and neighbours are thinking of them is some small consolation.

:02:58. > :03:00.Social media posted at the weekend showed how pleased the group were to

:03:01. > :03:03.finally arrive. The Scout Association said they continue to

:03:04. > :03:07.support Elliott?s parents. Young people and leaders are part of the

:03:08. > :03:20.event. They said they will continue to work with the company.

:03:21. > :03:23.East Renfrewshire Council said they would provide counselling and

:03:24. > :03:31.support for the friends. One of the crew involved in a high

:03:32. > :03:34.speed crash between two RAF jets over the Moray Firth which killed

:03:35. > :03:37.three servicemen was suffering from a fear of flying. Accident

:03:38. > :03:39.investigators believe that was just one of seventeen factors that may

:03:40. > :03:44.have contributed to the high speed collision. Our Westminster

:03:45. > :03:56.correspondent Tim Reid reports. It was a routine training exercise

:03:57. > :04:01.which went fatally wrong. This was the wreckage of one or two vehicles

:04:02. > :04:07.destroyed in the crash. It emerged today that an instructor,

:04:08. > :04:14.36-year-old Samuel Bailey, suffered from a fear of flying but had been

:04:15. > :04:21.cleared for flight. He was one of three men who died. Anxiety was one

:04:22. > :04:25.of 17 factors which may be accident more likely. It was also no

:04:26. > :04:32.collision warning system on board. The report also lists were MOD

:04:33. > :04:39.procurement in effective supervision and poor visibility. The aircraft

:04:40. > :04:45.could both have come into close proximity but the warning system

:04:46. > :04:49.should have kicked in. Unfortunately we still do not have a collision

:04:50. > :04:56.warning system. We have nothing for the successor aircraft. We need a

:04:57. > :05:00.fatal accident enquiry. I track the MOD says a collision warning system

:05:01. > :05:05.should be operational by the end of the year and says lessons are being

:05:06. > :05:09.learned. Tonight, we caught up with the former Defence Secretary to

:05:10. > :05:17.cancel the project. I have not read the report. It was claimed this was

:05:18. > :05:22.a smoke screen used by politicians to score political points.

:05:23. > :05:26.Campaigners believe there are to be similarities between this accident

:05:27. > :05:34.and previous RAF crashes. They will keep up the pressure for a fatal

:05:35. > :05:39.accident enquiry. Andy Murray is through to his seventh successive

:05:40. > :05:51.Wimbledon final after a win over Kevin Anderson. A familiar sound of

:05:52. > :05:55.Murray mania on Henman Hill. His spokesman said it easy today

:05:56. > :05:59.programme because every time he has been here in the last six years, he

:06:00. > :06:06.has won at least to the quarterfinals. With another spot up

:06:07. > :06:09.for grabs, it was clear the defending champion would not just

:06:10. > :06:14.tap Scottish support. The best British player of all time in my

:06:15. > :06:22.opinion. I might have two support him. White is the only shade of

:06:23. > :06:27.Jersey allowed at Wimbledon but the question is how colourful with the

:06:28. > :06:30.tennis be this afternoon? Red-hot. It was a black day for Kevin

:06:31. > :06:35.Anderson, whose serve was broken early with money in fine fettle.

:06:36. > :06:46.Just the kind of smooth start Sarah Ferguson would appreciate. -- Sir

:06:47. > :06:50.Alex Ferguson. When your opponent is six, the ball comes from greater

:06:51. > :06:58.height, just as well Andy Murray is one of the best returners in the

:06:59. > :07:02.game. But with the Wimbledon weather be a worry? It would be time for

:07:03. > :07:10.Anderson to regroup while the roof was closed. Fortune for the

:07:11. > :07:16.underdog. However, not enough to prevent the favourite closing out

:07:17. > :07:21.the second set. Neither man flinched in the final set. That meant a

:07:22. > :07:33.tie-break settlement in the defending champion?s fever. I just

:07:34. > :07:37.have to do what I have to do and concentrate on my side of the court.

:07:38. > :07:48.If I play well, I make it tough for them. There will be yet another

:07:49. > :07:50.Wimbledon quarterfinal. We will have more from Wimbledon later in the

:07:51. > :07:54.programme. Also still to come on tonight's

:07:55. > :07:57.programme: How a dog is helping in the fight to protect red squirrels

:07:58. > :08:03.from the diseases carried by greys. There'll be no shale gas bonanza in

:08:04. > :08:06.Scotland. That was the message today, after scientists revealed

:08:07. > :08:09.deposits of shale gas and oil in the central belt are much smaller than

:08:10. > :08:12.those already discovered in the north of England. The news has been

:08:13. > :08:14.welcomed by anti-fracking campaigners, but the UK government

:08:15. > :08:20.says Scottish shale gas could still help meet Britain's energy needs.

:08:21. > :08:37.Here's our environment This is the birthplace of the shale

:08:38. > :08:43.oil industry in the 1850s, East Lothian. How big a role should shale

:08:44. > :08:48.gas and shale oil play in our energy future? It is a debate being

:08:49. > :08:52.followed closely in communities across central Scotland, which

:08:53. > :08:57.could, in the years ahead, find themselves in areas identified as

:08:58. > :09:03.possible sites for fracking. Coaxing oil or gas from shale rock involves

:09:04. > :09:11.pumping water and sand to factual rocks deep underground. Fracking is

:09:12. > :09:22.controversial but potentially lucrative. It has led to

:09:23. > :09:26.demonstrations south of the border. There is 80 cubic feet of shale gas,

:09:27. > :09:30.which shines like a large amount, but when you compare it to the North

:09:31. > :09:37.of England, where we think there is a resource of around 1300, becomes a

:09:38. > :09:41.rather small. The Scottish Government has vowed to protect

:09:42. > :09:45.communities those two potential fracking sites. The rail,

:09:46. > :09:50.environmental campaigners have welcomed today?s news. It is good

:09:51. > :09:56.news for climate change, because there is less fossil fuel to burn.

:09:57. > :10:00.But there are hotspots and it will begin unity still a threat of having

:10:01. > :10:03.this industry foisted upon them. On the streets of West Lothian today,

:10:04. > :10:08.strong support for anything that will bring jobs. We have lost enough

:10:09. > :10:15.companies in this area. So, yes, I agree with that. I want to care for

:10:16. > :10:19.the environment but we live in a sign that people need jobs. It is up

:10:20. > :10:25.to oil and gas companies to decide whether to push ahead.

:10:26. > :10:29.The UK government is making a fresh bid to overturn a US import ban

:10:30. > :10:31.lasting more than forty years on traditional Scottish haggis. The ban

:10:32. > :10:34.was put in place in 1971 because the country's food standards agency

:10:35. > :10:37.prohibits sheep lungs - a key ingredient of traditional haggis -

:10:38. > :10:47.A man who poured petrol over his ex-wife and then burned her to death

:10:48. > :10:50.has been jailed for life. Ahmad Yazdanparast will spend at least 19

:10:51. > :10:53.years in prison. His former wife Adieh suffered 95% burns in the

:10:54. > :10:56.attack at her hair salon in Stirling last October. She told a paramedic

:10:57. > :10:59.before she died that her ex-husband carried out the attack because she'd

:11:08. > :11:11.Subway workers in Glasgow have agreed a deal with Strathclyde

:11:12. > :11:15.Passenger Transport avoiding any threat of strike action during the

:11:16. > :11:18.Commonwealth Games. However First Bus engineers and drivers are still

:11:19. > :11:24.expected to ballot next week after their annual pay talks broke down.

:11:25. > :11:28.There's a warning that the future care of the most vulnerable is being

:11:29. > :11:30.put at risk - because of the economic environment in the North

:11:31. > :11:33.East. The community care group, Cornerstone, says the sector is

:11:34. > :11:35.becoming over-reliant on casual staff due to an inability to attract

:11:36. > :11:38.and retain permanent workers. Their average wage is one third that of

:11:39. > :11:50.A collection of 1.5 million aerial photographs of Commonwealth

:11:51. > :11:53.countries has been saved by a team from Scotland. Experts from the

:11:54. > :11:55.National Collection of Aerial Photography in Edinburgh rescued the

:11:56. > :12:01.records and are embarking on decades of digitising.

:12:02. > :12:04.A Viking tradition which hasn't been seen for a thousand years has been

:12:05. > :12:07.re-enacted on Kintyre. The Norse King Magnus Barefoot is said to have

:12:08. > :12:10.dragged his longboat across the peninsula to claim it as part of his

:12:11. > :12:22.domain. Enthusiasts who repeated it hope it may become an annual event.

:12:23. > :12:29.We hope to attract people from Scandinavia next year we have had

:12:30. > :12:33.interest from people from Sweden, Norway and Finland. This could be a

:12:34. > :12:36.great event next year. A project to protect the south of

:12:37. > :12:39.Scotland's native red squirrels is said to be paying dividends with

:12:40. > :12:42.numbers on the increase. Willie Johnston reports on the battle to

:12:43. > :12:44.keep the region free of disease-carrying grey squirrels -

:12:45. > :12:59.and the part played in it by a dog Richard Thompson is an estate

:13:00. > :13:07.gamekeeper in Dumfriesshire. Along with his dog, he looks after 100

:13:08. > :13:11.squirrel traps. These are designed to capture grey squirrels which

:13:12. > :13:21.carry pox. The cats cannot differentiate grief from red but the

:13:22. > :13:25.dog can. -- the traps. We have seen how animated and noisy the dog

:13:26. > :13:29.becomes when he encounters a trap with a grey squirrel inside. This

:13:30. > :13:36.one contains a red squirrel. His reaction should be different. Yes,

:13:37. > :13:42.this time no sound at all. He is effectively telling Richard if they

:13:43. > :13:47.will be releasing a red squirrel or the mainly despatching a great one.

:13:48. > :13:51.He has learned that the smell of the grey and red squirrels are

:13:52. > :14:01.different. He has been watching what we do. He understands which ones we

:14:02. > :14:04.look after. Killing some to protect others is controversial. But with

:14:05. > :14:09.the squirrels threatening both the native red population and the

:14:10. > :14:13.currently disease-free grey squirrels in the central belt,

:14:14. > :14:18.conservation workers say the end justifies the means. There is no

:14:19. > :14:21.other way. If we had not been doing this, the red squirrel in

:14:22. > :14:27.Dumfriesshire would be gone long ago. Ironically, the more red

:14:28. > :14:31.squirrels trapped, the better. It means the population is increasing.

:14:32. > :14:36.On this estate, the court only to red squirrels two years ago but more

:14:37. > :14:39.than 100 last year. Proof, they say, it is working.

:14:40. > :14:42.To the Queen's baton relay and its journey round Scotland. Today it has

:14:43. > :14:49.been in Aberdeen - and with it was our reporter Cameron Buttle.

:14:50. > :14:56.We're in Aberdeen Harbour, the heart of the oil and gas industry. Safety

:14:57. > :14:59.is vital. You are looking at a simulator which simulate the

:15:00. > :15:06.lifeboat being dropped off the side of the platform in an emergency.

:15:07. > :15:23.Insight that one is the 29-year-old baton bearer. -- inside. I wasn't?

:15:24. > :15:30.Brilliant. So much fun! I want to go again! He seems to have survived

:15:31. > :15:33.that pretty well and looks happy. He was one of the usual baton bearers

:15:34. > :15:39.that have been in and around Aberdeen today. Many inspirational

:15:40. > :15:43.people from the world of sport have been here. Quite surreal, to be

:15:44. > :15:54.honest. I was holding on to the Queen's Baton and moving through the

:15:55. > :15:57.water in a canoe. The vehicle is now making its way to a celebration in

:15:58. > :16:10.the centre of Aberdeen. Tomorrow, Shetland, the day after that, it is

:16:11. > :16:12.going offshore. A successful day for Andy Murray. He has booked his place

:16:13. > :16:18.in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. He saw off the challenge of his

:16:19. > :16:22.South African opponent. It was another comfortable victory for Andy

:16:23. > :16:30.Murray. Here is a man who knows him well. Is he looking on course to go

:16:31. > :16:35.all the way again this year? I do not see why not. Another impressive

:16:36. > :16:38.performance. Not a single set dropped. Kevin Anderson is a good

:16:39. > :16:48.player but Andy Murray saw him off in 2.5 hours. He was excellent in

:16:49. > :16:52.the first two sets. Murray, by his own admission, did not play

:16:53. > :17:00.particularly well. But he was, then Kevin Anderson and performed well. A

:17:01. > :17:03.lot of people have talked about a successful defence of his Wimbledon

:17:04. > :17:12.crowd but Andy Murray does not want to get too carried away. Yes, I am

:17:13. > :17:15.just trying to stay concentrated while I am on the court. I do not

:17:16. > :17:20.want to worry about everything else that is going on outside of that. I

:17:21. > :17:24.just tried to play tennis and not worry about the rest. When you're

:17:25. > :17:27.playing in front of the crowd like that it gives you a big lift and

:17:28. > :17:33.raises your intensity and makes it harder for the opponent. The crowd

:17:34. > :17:38.helps. What is the latest on who Andy Murray will face in the

:17:39. > :17:47.quarterfinals? In the last ten minutes, it has become clear Andy

:17:48. > :17:56.Murray will play on Wednesday against Grigor Dimitrov, the young

:17:57. > :18:02.Bulgarian. He is up to number 12 in the world already. I can tell you,

:18:03. > :18:06.one of those was in Acapulco when he beat Andy Murray at the semifinals

:18:07. > :18:10.of that tournament on the way to winning it. So, a really good

:18:11. > :18:14.player. This is far and away going to be Andy Murray?s stiffest

:18:15. > :18:21.competition. But he will raise his game once again, I would predict, on

:18:22. > :18:30.Wednesday. It should be fascinating. Grigor Dimitrov goes out with Maria

:18:31. > :18:37.Sharapova, another big name. Really good on the tennis court and we

:18:38. > :18:41.should be set for a cracking semifinal. Live on Wednesday on BBC.

:18:42. > :18:46.Thank you for that news. Now, a look at what else is

:18:47. > :18:49.happening across Scottish sport. David Millar's been denied the

:18:50. > :18:52.chance of taking part in a final Tour de France. The Scot will retire

:18:53. > :18:55.at the end of the season but has revealed he's just been dropped for

:18:56. > :18:58.the Tour by Team Garmin. He tweeted: ?so sad my team didn't

:18:59. > :19:01.believe in me.? A step up in weight and a third

:19:02. > :19:05.world title is the future predicted for Ricky burns by his manager. Alex

:19:06. > :19:08.Morrison says Burns definitely won't quit after his WBC title eliminator

:19:09. > :19:14.defeat. The Scotland rugby tourists arrived

:19:15. > :19:17.home today with 3 out of 4 victories. But it was a bruising

:19:18. > :19:20.defeat of 55 points to 6 against South Africa on Saturday. Despite

:19:21. > :19:22.that, Rob Harley says the squad It was gold, gold, gold at the

:19:23. > :19:30.British Championships for three of our Commonwealth Games medal hopes.

:19:31. > :19:32.Eilish McColgan, Lynsey Sharp and Eilidh Child all delighted with top

:19:33. > :19:35.spot, but will they enjoy the mounting pressure of being home

:19:36. > :19:51.favourites in Glasgow? I hope I can. It is such an amazing

:19:52. > :19:54.opportunity. Rather than let it overwhelm me, I want to embrace and

:19:55. > :19:59.enjoy it. I think I can do that. plus all the latest news, 24 hours a

:20:00. > :20:06.day on BBC Sport Scotland's website. Time for a reminder about Scotland

:20:07. > :20:12.2014 - tonight's programme is a special debate on the independence

:20:13. > :20:13.referendum. Here's Glenn Campbell to tell us

:20:14. > :20:25.more. We are bringing you a special

:20:26. > :20:29.edition of Scotland 2014 tonight. The political giants facing

:20:30. > :20:35.questions from more than 41st-time voters. As the way up the arguments

:20:36. > :20:42.for and against Scottish independence. That's on BBC Two

:20:43. > :20:51.Scotland at 10:30pm tonight. Now let's get the weather. Tomorrow is

:20:52. > :21:05.looking fine. Looking ahead, it will stay dry

:21:06. > :21:08.tonight. There will be long, clear spells. Perhaps one or two showers

:21:09. > :21:23.around for central and eastern areas. Temperature rise, around

:21:24. > :21:27.eight to ten degrees. A chilly night for a rural parts of Argyll and

:21:28. > :21:32.Dumfries and Galloway and winds will remain light. We start the day

:21:33. > :21:39.tomorrow on a dry note. There will be spells of sunshine from the word

:21:40. > :21:49.go. Through the day, more clout. Especially inland. -- cloud. Coastal

:21:50. > :21:57.areas will see the best of the sunshine. Temperatures of 21 degrees

:21:58. > :22:05.tomorrow. And with very little in terms of wind, it will feel rather

:22:06. > :22:11.pleasant. Further north, temperatures ranging from 16 degrees

:22:12. > :22:24.to 19. But in the Northern Isles it may feel cooler. It will stay dry

:22:25. > :22:29.with some cloud around inland. And one or two showers around. The best

:22:30. > :22:36.of the sunshine across coastal parts. The King ahead to Wednesday,

:22:37. > :22:38.this area of high pressure will pool away allowing this weather front to

:22:39. > :22:44.move into north-western parts, with strengthening winds. On Wednesday,

:22:45. > :22:48.we start the day on the dry and bright note. Some spells of sunshine

:22:49. > :22:57.here in the West, but green and strengthening winds across the

:22:58. > :23:03.Northwest. A reminder of tonight?s menus: A 14-year-old boy has died on

:23:04. > :23:09.an adventure holiday in Italy. He was Elliot Peacock from Newton

:23:10. > :23:12.Burns, near Glasgow. And the veteran entertainer and artist, Rolf Harris,

:23:13. > :23:16.has been found guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault against women

:23:17. > :23:20.and children. His youngest victim was just seven years old. Another

:23:21. > :23:25.was a close friend of his doctor. The first molested her when she was

:23:26. > :23:29.13 years old. That's Reporting Scotland. I am back with the league
