:00:10. > :00:16.gold. Local girl Kimberley Renicks brings the SECC crowd to its feet,
:00:17. > :00:20.with success in the judo. And more medals are guaranteed there tonight.

:00:39. > :00:41.are in finals action this evening. And twelve sports, ten venues,
:00:42. > :00:43.hundreds of thousands of visitors. We look at how the city's been
:00:44. > :00:46.coping with this first day of Good evening from Tollcross where,
:00:47. > :01:13.in half an hour's time 5,000 spectators will raise the roof of
:01:14. > :01:16.this showpiece pool. The swimming finals are one of the hottest
:01:17. > :01:20.tickets at these Games, certainly for the home support, and that's
:01:21. > :01:23.because it's one of the events in which Scotland hopes to shine. This
:01:24. > :01:26.evening Hannah Miley, Robbie Renwick and Michael Jamieson are among those
:01:27. > :01:48.going for gold - more on their hopes The let us hear more about the judo.
:01:49. > :01:53.Thank you. It is the first Gold medal four teams Scotland at these
:01:54. > :01:57.Commonwealth Games. It happened just a few moments ago. Rapturous
:01:58. > :02:14.applause for Kimberley Renicks in the judo. The 48 K category. Here is
:02:15. > :02:19.how it happened. I think one of the problems is the Indonesian has had
:02:20. > :02:28.it too easy throughout the day. It is not going as planned. Beautiful!
:02:29. > :02:35.She has got it. Kimberley Renicks. Can she and her sister do the
:02:36. > :02:40.double? That is the question. What a night it is for the family.
:02:41. > :02:47.Kimberley Renicks is a part-time carer for her mum. In less than half
:02:48. > :02:54.an hour, her sister will be going in a final as well. Louise Renicks is
:02:55. > :02:58.in the final of the 52 K category. Hopefully we can update you on that
:02:59. > :03:02.before the end of the programme. There is another chance of the Gold
:03:03. > :03:10.medal tonight as Stephanie Inglis from Inverness has also reached the
:03:11. > :03:16.final. The medals don't stop there. A bronze for John Buchanan in the
:03:17. > :03:22.last few seconds. The chance of another two bronze medals for Connie
:03:23. > :03:29.Ramsay and James Miller. From judo alone, the Meadowhall could be three
:03:30. > :03:34.gold and at least three bronze. That would be good. Scotland has won
:03:35. > :03:39.silver in the velodrome. Aileen McGlynn and Louise Haston
:03:40. > :03:42.just lost out to England pairing of Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott
:03:43. > :03:56.in the paracycling sprint tandem Success in the judo but the first
:03:57. > :04:01.medal for Scotland in these games came right here in the velodrome. It
:04:02. > :04:09.was courtesy of Aileen McGlynn -- Aileen McGlynn and her pilot. The 17
:04:10. > :04:14.-- silver in the para-sprint tandem. It was the best of three races.
:04:15. > :04:25.England took the races to claim the gold. England just won the first
:04:26. > :04:28.race by half the wheel. They won the secondary is more convincingly.
:04:29. > :04:36.Still, a silver rip medal for Aileen McGlynn and her pilot. They have the
:04:37. > :04:42.balls of being the first Scottish medallists at these Commonwealth
:04:43. > :04:54.Games. Let us hope that success is catching. Hopes are high in the
:04:55. > :04:59.swimming pool tonight. Here is the story of the swimming pool so far.
:05:00. > :05:08.There was a huge roar as Michael Jamieson went off on the 200 meter
:05:09. > :05:12.breaststroke. Mike synchronised Scottish swim team, there was only
:05:13. > :05:19.ever three in the race. Murdoch pulled away to win the heat, a
:05:20. > :05:24.personal best. I am delighted with that swim. I have been swimming
:05:25. > :05:30.really well when we were at the training camp in Aberdeen. I am in
:05:31. > :05:37.great shop -- sheet. I am not a robot, it would not be natural if I
:05:38. > :05:43.did not win occasionally. It is great to have their support, so many
:05:44. > :05:46.people. Even the volunteers and the people in the village supporting
:05:47. > :05:51.us. It is brilliant to have that behind us. The first race was the
:05:52. > :05:54.women's 400 metres individual medley. Hannah Miley would like she
:05:55. > :06:03.had work to do. She medley. Hannah Miley would like she
:06:04. > :06:08.comfortable winner in the end. There was plenty to keep the crowds
:06:09. > :06:14.entertained. More Scottish triumph and another one two, three in the
:06:15. > :06:20.400 metres freestyle. I have had a good season of training so I know I
:06:21. > :06:26.have a background for the 400. Dead chuffed to get one two, three with
:06:27. > :06:33.these boys. The only disappointment was the failure to qualify for
:06:34. > :06:39.Sophie McClatchy. It was a fantastic start for the Scottish swim team,
:06:40. > :06:45.just as they promised. The sun is shining, lots of people standing
:06:46. > :06:51.outside Tollcross tonight. We have Australians in the crowd. Who are
:06:52. > :06:57.you supporting tonight? Michael. Do you hope he can deliver? Yes,
:06:58. > :07:04.definitely. Another gold for Hannah Miley hopefully. Mixed feelings, we
:07:05. > :07:10.obviously support England but we want Michael Jamieson to do well and
:07:11. > :07:14.some English medals as well. Good luck tonight. High hopes for Michael
:07:15. > :07:22.Jamieson and Hannah Miley in the pool, but what else can the Scottish
:07:23. > :07:26.team deliver? And here we have one of the best
:07:27. > :07:32.Scottish swimmers in history, David Wilkie, so many Scottish hopes in
:07:33. > :07:37.the pool tonight? Yes, we have lots to choose from. Start off with
:07:38. > :07:42.Hannah Miley, she will have tough race but she is on home territory
:07:43. > :07:48.and she should just get it but it will be tight. The 400 freestyle,
:07:49. > :07:53.three Scottish boys than that. Robbie Renwick is the defending
:07:54. > :07:59.champion. He has made the finals so he has a chance but it will be tough
:08:00. > :08:05.for him. The 200 breaststroke, who would've thought we would have been
:08:06. > :08:10.the Scotus qualifiers. Michael Jamieson got a bit of a skier this
:08:11. > :08:19.morning. -- three Scottish qualifiers. I think Michael has
:08:20. > :08:24.enough to take it tonight. Michael Jamieson said nurse got to him. How
:08:25. > :08:29.bigger danger is that that's so much pressure becomes a difficult thing
:08:30. > :08:35.and gets to them? He would be nervous in the last few days. He has
:08:36. > :08:38.admitted that. The breaststroke is a technical stroke. If you tense up,
:08:39. > :08:51.you cannot relax. technical stroke. If you tense up,
:08:52. > :08:56.this morning. He is capable of doing that tonight. Are you worried about
:08:57. > :09:05.Scottish swimmer? Well, it is not an Scottish swimmer? Well, it is not an
:09:06. > :09:11.Rio de Janeiro, we will talk again but until then, no.
:09:12. > :09:15.Hopes are high here - but hopes have been dashed that the man who
:09:16. > :09:18.was to be one of the Games' star performers has had to pull out.
:09:19. > :09:24.The reigning Olympic 5,000 and 10,000 metre champion has
:09:25. > :09:27.In a statement he said he would take a few more weeks
:09:28. > :09:57.Now we have the coach and father of Hannah Miley, what were your last
:09:58. > :10:05.words to her? Just enjoy yourself. The work is done, just go out and do
:10:06. > :10:09.your best. She is great, she is really happy. She has had a very
:10:10. > :10:15.challenging season. I think she is in a really great place at the
:10:16. > :10:21.moment. After the disappointment of London when she came second, you
:10:22. > :10:26.have a point to prove tonight? I guess people want to see things like
:10:27. > :10:31.that but ultimately it is about season to season and preparing as
:10:32. > :10:35.best you can. That is all we can do and that is what she has done. She
:10:36. > :10:46.started the season tremendously well. She still qualified a week
:10:47. > :10:51.later and raced well. It is a remarkable story. We are a year
:10:52. > :10:57.wiser and she is a tough girl and I have learned a lot from her. You
:10:58. > :11:02.have been under a certain amount of pressure as well, the fact that you
:11:03. > :11:07.still train in a local swimming pool in Inverurie, despite the lure of
:11:08. > :11:13.going to bigger facilities. Why do you stay there? There is a lot more
:11:14. > :11:17.to the swimming than the facilities. It is a combination of
:11:18. > :11:27.things. She trust the environment and the coaching. It is a much more
:11:28. > :11:32.comfortable environment. She is very trusting. The family environment
:11:33. > :11:36.gives her a great basis. She also trains in the Aberdeen sports
:11:37. > :11:41.village which has made a big difference. Look forward next two
:11:42. > :11:47.years towards the Olympics. Will it be harder to watch the race as a
:11:48. > :11:58.father or coach? Goodness me, as a father. I pretend to watch as a
:11:59. > :12:05.coach but I am a father. I remember 2010 as the head coach. She was
:12:06. > :12:11.about to swim. I said, do not expect anything year and she went out and
:12:12. > :12:17.won it. The country is rooting for you and for her. Fingers crossed.
:12:18. > :12:23.Thank you for joining us. That visit from eyes. The seats are filling up.
:12:24. > :12:28.We have 15 minutes to go. Let's hope we get the glint of gold this
:12:29. > :12:32.evening. Back to the studio. Thank you very much.

:14:25. > :14:29.decision denying to prisoners the right to vote in the independence
:14:30. > :14:34.referendum. The two prisoners were saying that the Scottish referendum
:14:35. > :14:40.is of such fundamental importance because it could change the way in
:14:41. > :14:44.which their lives will be left where they are to be a yes vote. They
:14:45. > :14:52.would be living in a new and independent country. That was one of
:14:53. > :14:58.the arguments. They said that they should have been allowed to vote.
:14:59. > :15:07.They said that into other EU countries only, are prisoners
:15:08. > :15:12.blocked from voting. They were putting forward that argument as
:15:13. > :15:21.well. But it was particularly on the referendum issue. The Independence
:15:22. > :15:27.fought could have an impact on their lives, they said. What implications
:15:28. > :15:32.could there have been if they had won the appeal? If the judges had
:15:33. > :15:37.ruled in their favour, and there had been rulings in Europe forcing the
:15:38. > :15:45.UK to allow prisoners to vote in domestic elections, the government
:15:46. > :15:49.is not voting on that, but the implication could have meant that
:15:50. > :15:55.prisoners would have been able to vote in a referendum in and out on

:19:24. > :19:28.have our daughter weightlifting at three o'clock this afternoon. How
:19:29. > :19:37.exciting? Just a little bit. Remember the name. They are far from
:19:38. > :19:43.the only family on tenterhooks. The game is in family are looking
:19:44. > :19:47.forward to swimming. I do not think enough people know how much work he
:19:48. > :19:52.does. That is why we all get involved in is as much as he does.
:19:53. > :19:59.We all feel the nervous and stuff like that. After all these years, it
:20:00. > :20:04.comes down to this one night. I have butterflies. I could not keep it
:20:05. > :20:09.together last night at the ceremony either. Spectators have engaged team
:20:10. > :20:17.into the spirit of the games throughout the city. We have been to
:20:18. > :20:22.weightlifting this morning. Our first experience, it was fantastic.
:20:23. > :20:32.I really enjoyed it. Some had come prepared. We are you going? We were
:20:33. > :20:39.in the gymnasts. The city centre is buzzing with visitors. It seems that
:20:40. > :20:45.after the Opening Ceremony, the duke of Wellington is even more popular
:20:46. > :20:49.with photographers today. The Highland Terrier is where the stars
:20:50. > :20:58.of the show last night. These two seem to enjoy the attention. Hamish
:20:59. > :21:06.took it in his stride. When I walked in I just thought, this is it. It
:21:07. > :21:14.did not go to plan last night, Jock was a bit reluctant. He did not like
:21:15. > :21:27.the courts. He does not we are courts. I'd is carried him and it
:21:28. > :21:33.was fine. -- I just carried him. All around the venue, the Clydesiders
:21:34. > :21:36.were trying to get smiles. Let us find out what the answer is like in
:21:37. > :21:45.the merchant city. Plenty of people around? It is fantastic year. It is
:21:46. > :21:49.only day one, but Glasgow has taken these games to its heart. We are
:21:50. > :21:56.right in the middle of the merchant city. It has been taken over from
:21:57. > :22:02.one big street party. The atmosphere is electric. There are more than
:22:03. > :22:12.200,000 extra people in the city tonight. Many more people have come
:22:13. > :22:17.a long, not just for the games. Perhaps that is because they saw the
:22:18. > :22:25.Opening Ceremony last night on the television. It attracted more than 2
:22:26. > :22:28.million viewers in Scotland. Sport is not for everyone and the
:22:29. > :22:34.organisers have thought of that. We are right in the middle of the
:22:35. > :22:40.cultural festival which is carrying on throughout the games. We have
:22:41. > :22:46.music playing at the moment. There is only one sure in town tonight and
:22:47. > :22:53.that is the swimming. If you want to see the finest Scottish swimmers

:23:06. > :23:13.first gold at judo. Our reporter is in Glasgow. Great news. Absolutely
:23:14. > :23:20.fantastic news. Thank you very much. The gold medal came about half an
:23:21. > :23:24.hour ago. It was won by 26-year-old Kimberley Renicks from Coatbridge in
:23:25. > :23:32.the judo. It was an electric atmosphere. We wondered about the
:23:33. > :23:36.benefit of the home crowd. Inside that hall, it was electric and I am
:23:37. > :23:45.a veteran of these Commonwealth Games. The first Gold medal for
:23:46. > :23:49.Kimberley Renicks. Her big sister, Louise Renicks, will be on the mat
:23:50. > :23:56.any time now because she is also in a final. She is in the heavier
:23:57. > :24:03.weight category. What a day for the family. There could be a third gold

:25:07. > :25:13.the heat, it has been a lovely day. It will stage I and sunny this
:25:14. > :25:19.evening. It will stay dry, perhaps the risk of a shower in Inverness.
:25:20. > :25:29.We will see the mist returning across the North Sea coast. It will
:25:30. > :25:35.not be called. In the West, temperatures more like the mid
:25:36. > :25:44.teens. A familiar start tomorrow, the mist in the East coast. Towards
:25:45. > :25:53.lunch time, plenty of warm sunshine and blue skies. By mid-afternoon,
:25:54. > :26:00.the warmest part of the day, we can see temperatures much like today. As
