:01:29. > :01:37.Prime Minister travelled to Perth to make another appeal to the people of
:01:38. > :01:39.to vote no in September's referendum. Here's our political
:01:40. > :01:52.Scotland Editor Brian Taylor. It would break my heart to see our
:01:53. > :01:56.United Kingdom break apart. A touch of emotion from the Prime Minister
:01:57. > :02:01.in Perth this evening. He said the union benefits from Scotland from
:02:02. > :02:08.security to economy. He urged voters to reject independence. Say no to
:02:09. > :02:13.the noisy nationalists. Say no, you have not made your case, now you
:02:14. > :02:18.have not answered my questions, now you have not told me what currency
:02:19. > :02:23.we would have any separate currency, now you have not really convinced
:02:24. > :02:28.anybody that there are benefits to going it alone, no to a separate
:02:29. > :02:32.Scotland, yes to our United Kingdom. But in doing indeed today, it was
:02:33. > :02:37.argued that independence would give Scotland the leaders it the country
:02:38. > :02:41.needs to grow the economy. It is only with independence, that we can
:02:42. > :02:45.give real hope and prospects to individuals within Scotland and
:02:46. > :02:48.ensure that we have strong public finances, so independence opens up
:02:49. > :02:53.for Scotland the opportunities to flourish and develop as an economy,
:02:54. > :02:59.and that is the proposition we are bidding to people on the 18th of
:03:00. > :03:03.September. Self evidently the economy is central to the economy
:03:04. > :03:05.and to the choice facing the people of Scotland.
:03:06. > :03:08.One project which will be revisited as a result of the one billion
:03:09. > :03:11.pounds of new funding is the rail link to Glasgow airport, which was
:03:12. > :03:14.cancelled four years ago as part of the public spending cuts.
:03:15. > :03:16.Our local government correspondent, Jamie McIvor, has been assessing
:03:17. > :03:26.It has been on, then off, and now it could be on again. A real link to
:03:27. > :03:31.Glasgow airport is now firmly on the cards. It is a concept many people
:03:32. > :03:36.in the local business community are keen on. If you think of any
:03:37. > :03:41.European city, a traveller arriving would expect to catch a train into
:03:42. > :03:43.the principal city which is Glasgow. We also see it as
:03:44. > :03:51.beneficial to Renfrewshire, particularly to two risen --
:03:52. > :03:57.tourism, and bringing more industry and housing to the area. The cash
:03:58. > :04:02.for the link is from a big funding deal, which was created jointly by
:04:03. > :04:05.the UK Government and seven councils in the West of Scotland led by
:04:06. > :04:07.Glasgow. We have been running city deals in other parts of the United
:04:08. > :04:11.Kingdom. Glasgow City Council approach the UK Government in the
:04:12. > :04:15.first half of last year to say they would like to see if we could work
:04:16. > :04:18.with them on a city deal. We left at the chance, because Glasgow is such
:04:19. > :04:22.an important city in the United Kingdom. It is one of the major
:04:23. > :04:25.cities that can drive our economy forward. The deal has been welcomed
:04:26. > :04:29.by the councils involved, coming just weeks before the independence
:04:30. > :04:33.referendum some critics are bound to see this as something of a bribe
:04:34. > :04:39.from the UK Government. The Scottish Government was quick to say that
:04:40. > :04:44.they would match Westminster's contribution, bringing the value up
:04:45. > :04:50.to ?1.1 billion. The guarantee that it will continue its Scotland
:04:51. > :04:55.becomes independent. This funding is the work by the current investment
:04:56. > :04:59.made by the Scottish Government. If you look at the Commonwealth Games,
:05:00. > :05:04.the improvements to the subway alone, and these projects are meant
:05:05. > :05:08.to more investment by the Scottish Government in Glasgow now. As well
:05:09. > :05:12.as the real link, several other projects may benefit. Like the area
:05:13. > :05:17.around Inverkip power station, which was demolished last year. But if the
:05:18. > :05:21.airport rail link does happen, there will be critics. It was
:05:22. > :05:34.controversial scheme. The precise proposals for any new link have yet
:05:35. > :05:40.to be published. The campaigning has just been about money, has it? No.
:05:41. > :05:44.You are talking about a decision on whether Scotland remains a nation,
:05:45. > :05:49.or whether it becomes a fully fledged state. That is always about
:05:50. > :05:53.more than statistics, sums, what has been called the dismal science of
:05:54. > :05:59.economics. When you look at today's debate, over the local city deal,
:06:00. > :06:02.that is about persuasion from David Cameron you hear that this is about
:06:03. > :06:06.economic clout, from Nicola Sturgeon you hear that this is about
:06:07. > :06:10.calculation and cunning and manipulation, but all of this
:06:11. > :06:14.argument is about more than that. We heard tonight from David Cameron
:06:15. > :06:17.about his passion for the union, we heard Ruth Davidson introducing him,
:06:18. > :06:21.saying that this was early about the heart as well as the head,
:06:22. > :06:26.sentiments that we would expect to hear from Conservative and Unionist
:06:27. > :06:30.party members here in Perth, but equally from the SNP usually the
:06:31. > :06:33.argument that the people who are best placed to decide the future of
:06:34. > :06:38.Scotland are the people who live and work your. This is going to be in
:06:39. > :06:40.these last 77 days of this referendum, about the motion as well
:06:41. > :06:43.as intellect. Thank you, Brian. And we'll have more of that
:06:44. > :06:52.on Scotland 2014. Who does the Prime Minister mean
:06:53. > :06:55.when he talks about the silent majority? Are there really people
:06:56. > :07:00.who think that they can't speak up question mark we're been trying to
:07:01. > :07:03.find them. Also. As the UK Government announces more funding
:07:04. > :07:08.for Glasgow, but only if we vote to stay part of the union, we will be
:07:09. > :07:12.asking if this is not just a bribe to vote no. And why should we keep
:07:13. > :07:15.the Queen in an independent Scotland? Especially when many yes
:07:16. > :07:18.supporters are also Republicans. We will find out BBC Two at 10:30pm
:07:19. > :07:21.tonight. The budget airline, Ryanair,
:07:22. > :07:24.has confirmed it's to begin It plans to move several
:07:25. > :07:32.of its flights from state-owned Prestwick, but the Irish carrier
:07:33. > :07:34.insists it remains committed to Here's our transport correspondent,
:07:35. > :07:44.David Miller. Ryanair is crucial to Prestwick. It
:07:45. > :07:49.is the only scheduled airline which still uses the airport. Falling
:07:50. > :07:53.passenger numbers and heavy losses led to the Scottish Government to
:07:54. > :07:58.buy Prestwick last year in a last ditch bid to avert closure. Now
:07:59. > :08:04.Ryanair is switching services to Glasgow. Resnick's big rival. It's
:08:05. > :08:09.popular Dublin service is among them. There will also be new
:08:10. > :08:14.Stansted services for Glasgow and Edinburgh. Still Scotland's busiest
:08:15. > :08:18.airport. That will leave seven Brits at Prestwick this winter, all
:08:19. > :08:23.serving sunshine destinations in mainland Spain and the Canary
:08:24. > :08:30.Islands. We are delighted by this announcement. It is a big investment
:08:31. > :08:34.from Ryanair, it is more than 1 million in ticket sales, and that
:08:35. > :08:41.should translate into 800,000 passengers. Today's news means that
:08:42. > :08:45.Prestwick will now handle 300,000 fewer passengers than Glasgow. But
:08:46. > :08:49.the airline, which also has maintenance facilities at Prestwick,
:08:50. > :08:53.says it will not turn its back on Ayrshire. We are very committed to
:08:54. > :08:56.Escher. We will continue to talk to the airport and the Scottish
:08:57. > :09:02.Government about future growth at Prestwick, and we are very committed
:09:03. > :09:06.to passenger traffic overall in Scotland. Despite assurances,
:09:07. > :09:10.today's announcement has already led to renewed scrutiny of the Scottish
:09:11. > :09:16.Government's plans to turn around the feet of Prestwick. But they are
:09:17. > :09:22.adamant that passenger services at Prestwick must and will survive. We
:09:23. > :09:25.must make sure that this is a successful and vibrant operation in
:09:26. > :09:30.the long term, for the local economy, and for jobs. The Scottish
:09:31. > :09:34.Government says it will now work with Ryanair and other airlines to
:09:35. > :09:39.win new routes for Prestwick, but competition is fierce.

:18:11. > :18:17.dismissing those stories, but others have a different TV. If he wanted a

:18:44. > :18:49.to ten in the world, his lowest ranking since 2008. He has not had
:18:50. > :18:54.the easiest six months with the back surgery, but the way he has played
:18:55. > :18:59.in Paris and what I have seen here, there is no reason he could not have
:19:00. > :19:03.a really good end to the year. For that to happen, Andy Murray says big
