:00:07. > :00:16.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. The Queen formally names the largest
:00:17. > :00:21.warship ever built in the UK and assembled at Rosyth.
:00:22. > :00:26.Also on the programme tonight. The Motherwell tower block evacuated
:00:27. > :00:30.after an asbestos alert. Residents will have to stay away from their
:00:31. > :00:36.homes until Monday. The Scottish Formula 1 driver
:00:37. > :00:40.who's made history by becoming the first woman in two decades to drive
:00:41. > :00:45.in a Grand Prix weekend. Hundreds turn out to see the
:00:46. > :00:50.Commonwealth Games baton as it passes through the Highlands and
:00:51. > :00:52.Perthshire. And shaken but not stirred - Fort
:00:53. > :01:10.William is struck by the strongest earthquake for years.
:01:11. > :01:14.The Queen has given her name to the largest warship ever built
:01:15. > :01:20.HMS Queen Elizabeth took seven years to build and cost over ?6 billion -
:01:21. > :01:27.The great and the good were joined at Rosyth dockyard by 3500 people
:01:28. > :01:30.who have been involved in the design and construction of the
:01:31. > :01:43.Our political correspondent Glenn Campbell joined them.
:01:44. > :01:51.In all, and with the new. It is the largest British warship ever built,
:01:52. > :01:55.dwarfing the ageing carrier HMS illustrious dogs alongside. --
:01:56. > :01:59.docked alongside. The Queen came to formally lend
:02:00. > :02:01.the carrier her name. But first, a Royal Air Force salute
:02:02. > :02:20.for the pride of the Royal Navy. It will be a national instrument of
:02:21. > :02:25.power. That means she will be a national symbol of authority, and
:02:26. > :02:32.that means she will be a national icon too. All the while, helping to
:02:33. > :02:35.keep the great in Great Britain and the Royal in the Royal Navy.
:02:36. > :02:38.Watched by shipyard workers and their families,
:02:39. > :02:50.Naval officers and crew, the Queen performed her formal task.
:02:51. > :02:56.I name this ship the Queen Elizabeth. May God bless this ship
:02:57. > :02:59.and all who sail in her. Malt whisky from Bowmore
:03:00. > :03:01.distillery was used rather than champagne adding a Scottish flavour
:03:02. > :03:08.to this very British celebration. The Royal Navy has chosen
:03:09. > :03:15.American Independence Day to name Yet this ceremony marks the UK's
:03:16. > :03:20.intention to continue to independently project power around
:03:21. > :03:34.the world for decades to come. It is a long-term investment in
:03:35. > :03:36.Scotland's security. This will help to keep us safe, and that is a vital
:03:37. > :03:39.investment. But if Scotland votes
:03:40. > :03:40.for independence the current Scottish government
:03:41. > :03:53.would make no claim on the aircraft I think we will concentrate on the
:03:54. > :03:58.North Atlantic and fulfilling that gap in the defences at the moment,
:03:59. > :04:00.which will be one of the prime responsibilities of an independent
:04:01. > :04:02.Scotland as part of the NATO alliance.
:04:03. > :04:05.Many of the leading lights in the "no" campaign turned out today.
:04:06. > :04:08.As did Mr Salmond and his father - a 92-year-old Royal Navy war
:04:09. > :04:10.veteran who he says is definitely voting "yes".
:04:11. > :04:12.The big choice that Scotland faces has loomed large at the naming
:04:13. > :04:24.And we'll have more from Glenn in a moment - But first
:04:25. > :04:26.our economics correspondent Colletta Smith joins me now.
:04:27. > :04:28.Colletta, this is certainly a ship with some
:04:29. > :04:35.At 65,000 tonnes it is Britain's biggest ever aircraft carrier.
:04:36. > :04:38.Looking at the dimensions it's 920 ft
:04:39. > :04:43.in length, which is more than twice the size of the hydro in Glasgow.
:04:44. > :04:47.It has 12 decks with thousands of cabins inside.
:04:48. > :04:50.On the top there's four and a half acres of space on the flight deck,
:04:51. > :04:55.and that's room for 40 joint strike fighter jets to land and take-off.
:04:56. > :04:57.The Queen Elizabeth ship has been a lifeline to
:04:58. > :05:03.the Scottish staff and companies involved in the construction.
:05:04. > :05:08.From the first cut of metal to the final touches, this aircraft carrier
:05:09. > :05:19.has been responsible for halting the decline in Scotland's ship building.
:05:20. > :05:24.May God speed to her and all who sail in her.
:05:25. > :05:27.The Govan yard was, in it's heyday, the busiest shipyard in the world.
:05:28. > :05:29.Even now BAE's shipbuilding business still keeps 3000 people
:05:30. > :05:33.The contracts to build these two giant aircraft carriers that have
:05:34. > :05:40.Everyone should be proud of what we've managed to do here,
:05:41. > :05:46.this is an engineering and construction programme
:05:47. > :05:49.of a massive scale, probably one of the biggest that we've done in
:05:50. > :05:52.the country, and it involves this ship and the second ship as well.
:05:53. > :05:55.The fact that two ships were commissioned over a longer time
:05:56. > :05:57.period has been the perfect opportunity to develop the skills
:05:58. > :06:03.of the future, with 400 apprentices involved in construction.
:06:04. > :06:06.I'm really looking forward to the new ship getting built because
:06:07. > :06:09.I'll be more involved, get to see it from the ground up, getting built
:06:10. > :06:12.to obviously getting named and sent off again, it'll be very exciting
:06:13. > :06:18.I've been really fortunate to have 3 placements within the QEC.
:06:19. > :06:21.I've worked with the assembly team for queen elizabeth, I've worked
:06:22. > :06:24.in the engineering team for queen elizabeth, and I now currently work
:06:25. > :06:26.with the manufacturing team for Prince of Wales, which is really
:06:27. > :06:28.exciting to see it from a completely different angle.
:06:29. > :06:32.But while the mood is bouyant today and staff here in Govan are shifting
:06:33. > :06:37.their focus to the second of the two giant ships, the prospects further
:06:38. > :06:55.Despite today's celebrations, those working in the industry now that the
:06:56. > :06:58.future is far from certain. Well, before we came
:06:59. > :07:00.on air I spoke to our political correspondent Glenn Campbell and I
:07:01. > :07:03.asked him how much the future of shipbuilding on the Clyde might
:07:04. > :07:12.depend on how Scotland votes These carriers are supposed to last
:07:13. > :07:17.so long that it will be a very long time, if ever, before another
:07:18. > :07:22.aircraft carrier is built in the UK, regardless of what happens in
:07:23. > :07:26.the referendum, but those who want Scotland to stay inside the union
:07:27. > :07:32.think that you are disliked this will depend on that for future
:07:33. > :07:37.orders. The Scottish Government says there is no reason why the Clyde
:07:38. > :07:42.could not prosper with orders from both the UK and the Scottish
:07:43. > :07:45.ministries of defence in the event of independence. This is the sort of
:07:46. > :07:52.battle that will continue right up to the referendum. Who is winning?
:07:53. > :07:54.It is hard to say. A reminder that no politician, no political idea is
:07:55. > :07:57.universally popular. 120 tenants evacuated
:07:58. > :08:00.from a Motherwell tower block will not be allowed back
:08:01. > :08:02.into their flats until Monday. They were moved from
:08:03. > :08:04.their homes yesterday, after workers North Lanarkshire Council has
:08:05. > :08:19.arranged accommodation It was during work yesterday that
:08:20. > :08:23.was being undertaken by ScottishPower contract is on the
:08:24. > :08:28.mains cable at the flats that a wall was disturbed that is lined with
:08:29. > :08:32.asbestos. Monitoring and test took place and it was decided that the
:08:33. > :08:37.best thing to do was to evacuate all the residents, more than 100 who
:08:38. > :08:43.stayed in the flats. Some have gone to stay with relatives, others have
:08:44. > :08:47.been put up in hotels. This tenet came back this morning to see if
:08:48. > :08:52.there was any news of getting back on. It doesn't matter where you are
:08:53. > :08:57.staying. You still want to go home as soon as possible. I know the
:08:58. > :09:01.people I am in the hotel with will want to get home. The council has
:09:02. > :09:06.decided these people will not be getting back into night or this
:09:07. > :09:11.weekend. We have decided that the residents cannot go back in until
:09:12. > :09:15.Monday. We need to carry out a full clean-up operation on the tower and
:09:16. > :09:20.to the common areas within the tower. Our primary concern is the
:09:21. > :09:24.welfare of our tenants. The delay will come as a disappointment to
:09:25. > :09:28.residents, many of whom are elderly and left with very little loathing
:09:29. > :09:34.and personal belongings. There will be an investigation into how the
:09:35. > :09:37.work disturbed it as here. -- disturbed asbestos here.
:09:38. > :09:40.Two men were taken to hospital this evening in Edinburgh following
:09:41. > :09:42.an armed struggle in the city centre Princes Street was brought to
:09:43. > :09:45.a standstill after police tasered a man who'd been wielding a knife.

:10:08. > :10:09.youngsters treated by paramedics for the effects of alcohol and drugs.
:10:10. > :10:18.Catriona Renton has been following the story.
:10:19. > :10:23.These fans haven't let the weather put them off as they arrived at
:10:24. > :10:30.Ingliston earlier this evening. This was what happened when this DJ came
:10:31. > :10:35.to Belfast. The Ambulance Service described the scene as a major
:10:36. > :10:39.incident. More than 100 people had to be treated or drinking too much
:10:40. > :10:45.alcohol and in some cases were taking drugs. He had been meant to
:10:46. > :10:52.perform just two days later, but the council and police cancelled it due
:10:53. > :10:55.to safety concerns. There is a significant police presence here
:10:56. > :11:00.tonight. We will have a number of police officers within the venue
:11:01. > :11:05.itself, along with a number of plain clothes officers out there. There
:11:06. > :11:08.are also drug dogs who will be going up and down the lines around the
:11:09. > :11:16.venue, so if you have anything you should not have, you will be cot.
:11:17. > :11:21.The DJ is a Dutch producer and positions. He is known for his live
:11:22. > :11:27.set at music festivals. The doors are just opening just now. These are
:11:28. > :11:33.the early, as. Around 11,000 people are expected here this evening. The
:11:34. > :11:39.music will go on until 4am this morning. These fans have been
:11:40. > :11:43.thinking about safety. We are not going to be alone. It was cancelled
:11:44. > :11:47.last time. It should be better this time I to Mac police say that if
:11:48. > :11:50.people follow their advice it will be an enjoyable event.
:11:51. > :11:53.Now time for a look at some other stories from across the country.
:11:54. > :11:56.A man has died after falling more than 600 feet
:11:57. > :11:59.The accident happened this lunchtime in Glen Einich near Rothiemurchus.

:12:13. > :12:16.Three liners are set to arrive there tomorrow.
:12:17. > :12:20.Between them, they're due to bring 7000 visitors to the town.

:13:01. > :13:03.In less than three weeks, the Commonwealth Games will be upon
:13:04. > :13:10.us and more than 6000 competitors and officials will have taken up
:13:11. > :13:12.residence in the Athletes' Village in Glasgow.
:13:13. > :13:15.Big names like Usain Bolt, Mo Farah and Tom Daley will be here,
:13:16. > :13:17.alongside first time competitors from all over the world.
:13:18. > :13:20.Our Commonwealth Games reporter, Lisa Summers, is getting the chance
:13:21. > :13:33.These houses here are going to be used by athletes from all different
:13:34. > :13:36.countries during the games. They are the most accessible and after the
:13:37. > :13:40.games are over, they will be turned into a care home. Tonight, people
:13:41. > :13:47.are staying in the village testing the facilities. With me is the man
:13:48. > :13:51.in charge of putting on the commonwealth games. It really does
:13:52. > :13:56.feel at that things are about to kick off? It is such an exciting
:13:57. > :14:02.time for us. One week to go until we start to open our doors for the
:14:03. > :14:07.athletes. This will be their home from home. We are absolutely
:14:08. > :14:15.excited, and tonight is about making that everything is good for them
:14:16. > :14:19.when they come. There will be over 6000 athletes and officials here.
:14:20. > :14:23.What sort of things do you have to put in place? We need to make sure
:14:24. > :14:27.the village is comfortable and that people can relax. At the same time,
:14:28. > :14:32.we want the athletes to be able to get to know each other better and
:14:33. > :14:36.celebrate their success. Thank you very much. There will also be
:14:37. > :14:41.medical facilities and a gym. An enormous canteen with 2000 dishes on
:14:42. > :14:44.the menu. All we need now are the athletes.
:14:45. > :14:45.And staying with the Commowealth Games,
:14:46. > :14:48.the Queen's baton has headed down from the Highlands into Perthshire.
:14:49. > :14:51.These were the scenes as hundreds of people turned out on the streets
:14:52. > :14:54.Earlier in the day, our reporter, Cameron Buttle, caught up with
:14:55. > :15:01.the relay as it passed through the centre of Aviemore.
:15:02. > :15:10.There you go, the Queen's Baton is working its way through Aviemore
:15:11. > :15:14.this morning. As you can see, a fantastic turnout here this morning.
:15:15. > :15:20.They love their outdoor life here. A great reception as the Queen's Baton
:15:21. > :15:24.works his way down the Main Street here. What did you think of the
:15:25. > :15:28.Queen's Baton coming through, then? I think it is a great thing for the
:15:29. > :15:37.community, it brings everyone together. And you are involved with
:15:38. > :15:41.active Scotland, what is that about? It is all about helping the
:15:42. > :15:49.community and kids, and giving people easier access to sports. What
:15:50. > :15:54.did you think of that? I was up late last night thinking about it, it is
:15:55. > :15:59.an amazing feeling to reality with so many people and who have so much
:16:00. > :16:04.support. It is great for the community. We are at about the
:16:05. > :16:05.halfway stage now, and we are still waiting for the Queen's Baton to get
:16:06. > :16:08.to Glasgow for the opening ceremony. Well he's had to be prised away
:16:09. > :16:12.from the World Cup to do some work But he's here now with
:16:13. > :16:14.all tonight's sport. Scots driver Susie Wolff is
:16:15. > :16:18.the first woman in more than twenty years to take
:16:19. > :16:21.part in a Formula One racing event. She was part of the Williams
:16:22. > :16:26.practice team at the British Grand didn't all go to plan though
:16:27. > :16:38.as Alasdair Lamont reports. It was a practice day like any other
:16:39. > :16:44.at Silverstone. All of the British favourites were in attendance, as
:16:45. > :16:48.well as a new kid on the block. There was plenty of support for the
:16:49. > :16:54.31-year-old from open as she completed the first lap of the
:16:55. > :16:58.famous circuit. Going out onto the track was the best feeling, because
:16:59. > :17:04.hello there has been a lot of media around it, when you are in the car,
:17:05. > :17:07.it is the best. It is just you and the car. As soon as I left,
:17:08. > :17:18.everything felt good and I had a good feeling out there. And day got
:17:19. > :17:23.even better. For the six women in history to take part in a race
:17:24. > :17:26.weekend, that was as good as it got. A problem with oil pressure soon
:17:27. > :17:31.brought her day to an end. She looked on the bright side. It was
:17:32. > :17:40.good to get that first run on an actual base that Mac -- actual race
:17:41. > :17:47.in the bag. It was good to know exactly how it will feel. She hopes
:17:48. > :17:50.this will be another step towards her dream role as a teen driver.
:17:51. > :17:59.Now, a look at what else is happening across Scottish sport.
:18:00. > :18:20.In man has died while climbing in the Cairngorms. Some fans have been
:18:21. > :18:24.quick to criticise it. The manager wants them to be patient when
:18:25. > :18:29.judging him. It would be very easy to bring in ten or 15 players, but
:18:30. > :18:37.they would not necessarily be the right ones who I could take them to
:18:38. > :18:42.where I wanted them to go. If it means waiting a few extra days, I am
:18:43. > :18:46.prepared to do that. Aberdeen's manager says he is delighted with
:18:47. > :18:50.their first win in the Europa League qualifier. They took a five
:18:51. > :18:56.millilitres to Latvia for the second leg. Lindsay Sharp has become the
:18:57. > :19:01.second woman ever to run 800 metres in under two minutes. She did it in
:19:02. > :19:08.a race in Switzerland that was won by a Kenyan woman. Stephen Gallacher
:19:09. > :19:12.has dropped down the leaderboard at the French Open. Six under par
:19:13. > :19:27.yesterday. He is now three under. Read all about our sports news on
:19:28. > :19:32.the BBC website. If you are watching from the Fort William area, are you
:19:33. > :19:37.aware there was an earthquake yesterday evening? To date, the
:19:38. > :19:42.British geological survey says that it had a magnitude of three. Some
:19:43. > :19:48.residents reported hearing a large bang, while another said it had
:19:49. > :19:54.caused her teacups to rattle. Seismic impact of the great Glen
:19:55. > :20:00.fault made itself felt last night. The epicentre of the quake was near
:20:01. > :20:06.Fort William. The tremors were felt as far apart as open and Sabine
:20:07. > :20:11.Bridge. It was little more than a neat trembler, but talking to people
:20:12. > :20:15.in Fort William, it seemed the earth had moved for most of them. It
:20:16. > :20:23.sounded a bit like a thunderstorm, but I knew it wasn't. I didn't
:20:24. > :20:27.really know what to make of it. It felt like a train was coming
:20:28. > :20:31.through. That was my initial reaction. I think I gave some of the
:20:32. > :20:37.people in the library a bit more of a skier with my shouting rather than
:20:38. > :20:40.the actual earthquake. We are going to Turkey next week, is it is the
:20:41. > :20:44.kind of thing you would expect there. You are looking at the
:20:45. > :20:51.biggest earthquakes in the world, that would be a nine, so a magnitude
:20:52. > :20:57.of three would be strongly felt, but it wouldn't do any damage. There are
:20:58. > :21:03.around 300 earthquakes in the UK each year. The one must night was
:21:04. > :21:09.certainly more unexpected than the traditional summer rain and make
:21:10. > :21:19.cheese. -- and flies. It let people slightly shaken but only a little
:21:20. > :21:23.stirred. Meanwhile, a mini tornado has been spotted in Glasgow. A
:21:24. > :21:29.viewer spotted it whipping up dust and rubbish on Bedford Street. He's
:21:30. > :21:33.dust devils are caused by a rising column of hot air that begins to
:21:34. > :21:43.rise as it stretches, throwing up degree. They are pretty unusual
:21:44. > :21:50.here. We don't get too many of them in Scotland. Now for the weather.
:21:51. > :22:00.There will be some sunshine and also some showers. We have had a band of
:22:01. > :22:04.rain tracking east, but note the skies are brightening across the
:22:05. > :22:08.East. Cloudy conditions for eastern Scotland and some patchy rain, which
:22:09. > :22:13.will clear, although we will see rain returned to the Borders in the
:22:14. > :22:17.early hours. Otherwise, it will be dry overnight, with some clear
:22:18. > :22:23.spells and some light winds. It will be colder than last night, with
