:00:39. > :00:47.Liftoff! Celebrations as Scotland blasted into the space race is less
:00:48. > :00:50.than a week ago. The first Scottish satellite successfully entered
:00:51. > :00:55.Earth's orbit. UKube-1 was carried by a rocket like this, launched from
:00:56. > :00:58.Kazakhstan. But Scotland could soon have its own launch site. The UK
:00:59. > :01:03.Government is looking at eight potential locations for a spaceport,
:01:04. > :01:07.and six of them are in Scotland. They include the former RAF base at
:01:08. > :01:11.Kinloss, now used by the army, but the runways have been retained.
:01:12. > :01:16.Another contender is RAF Lossiemouth, also on the Murray
:01:17. > :01:20.Coast. The former MoD base at Machrihanish and RAF Leuchars are
:01:21. > :01:24.also destined to be other possibilities. Those involved in
:01:25. > :01:28.Scotland's space industry say the country would be the ideal location
:01:29. > :01:32.for a satellite launching station. When you launch a satellite into
:01:33. > :01:37.orbit, there is a technical explanation, but basically, you want
:01:38. > :01:41.to go north, so ideally, in the UK, Scotland is placed well. You also
:01:42. > :01:44.want to see there are No people living nearby, because of something
:01:45. > :01:48.goes wrong, that could be bad, so you don't want any lives in
:01:49. > :01:51.jeopardy. A Scottish would be the first of its kind outside of the
:01:52. > :01:54.USA. An announcement is expected later this week.

:03:12. > :03:16.Esplanade. Local school pupil Shine Henderson handed over to Brown --
:03:17. > :03:24.Brownie leader Caroline McInnis. Do you have any tips on what to do with
:03:25. > :03:27.this? Just don't drop it! Then the bat on took to the water in the
:03:28. > :03:33.glorious sunshine. This is some way to travel with the bat on. We are
:03:34. > :03:37.making our way down the canal to Lochgilphead, and Willie Young is
:03:38. > :03:41.the bat and error. It is an honour. I can't describe it. I was involved
:03:42. > :03:45.in the 1970 Commonwealth Games of the volunteer, and that memory has
:03:46. > :03:48.stuck with me all these years, and this memory will stick with me for
:03:49. > :03:52.the rest of my life. It is just phenomenal. Many of his supporters
:03:53. > :03:58.jogged alongside. We jogged along the canal alongside the baton, and
:03:59. > :04:03.then we jogged back along next to the boat, watching Bill carrying the
:04:04. > :04:06.baton. It was great. I thought it was good, and I thought it was great
:04:07. > :04:15.that the Queen has let the baton come to our little town. Oh, the
:04:16. > :04:19.canal for me! I don't like the wild reading see! What a day for Bill and
:04:20. > :04:21.the baton as it continues its journey to Argyll Bute.

:04:35. > :04:45.Time now for the weather for tonight and tomorrow with Judith.
:04:46. > :04:51.Thank you, Alistair. Good evening to you all. It has been a pretty good
:04:52. > :04:57.day. T In The Park fared well, I'm glad to say. Warm as well. This
:04:58. > :05:00.evening, still some showers across eastern Scotland, which will
:05:01. > :05:03.continue to die away with clearing skies. Temperatures fresher or
:05:04. > :05:09.cooler than we have seen of late, which some might say is welcome. Ten
:05:10. > :05:12.in towns and cities, seven or eight in rural parts. Predominantly dry
:05:13. > :05:20.and bright, Miss clearing in the early parts, but not too soon, we
:05:21. > :05:23.will see outbreaks of rain showing their hand across western coastal
:05:24. > :05:27.areas. That rain will push inland during the course of the day,
:05:28. > :05:30.accompanied by a freshening southerly wind. Becoming breezy
:05:31. > :05:33.everywhere. The rain pushes across the country, and it stays dry during
:05:34. > :05:37.daylight hours for the eastern borders, Aberdeenshire, and indeed,
:05:38. > :05:41.the Northern Isles. Highs tomorrow of about 18 or 19 Celsius. I
:05:42. > :05:47.pressure on Tuesday, but that clears away, leaving a lot of dry, bright
:05:48. > :05:49.weather. Temperatures of 20 or 21 Celsius, and it is set to turn
:05:50. > :05:52.warmer as we get a flow from Iberia. Thanks, Judith.
:05:53. > :05:54.And that's Reporting Scotland. Until then, from everyone
:05:55. > :06:12.on the team here in Glasgow, enjoy Hello, most places are enjoying a
:06:13. > :06:17.fine end to the weekend with some sunshine. You might be firing up the
:06:18. > :06:21.barbecue ahead of the World Cup final but we have seen torrential
:06:22. > :06:23.storms in East Anglia and they still have showers. They will ease but
