:00:46. > :00:48.I don't think I could do without it.

:01:16. > :01:20.The first minister, Alex Salmond, has faced fresh calls to spell out

:01:21. > :01:23.his plan B for the currency of an independent Scotland

:01:24. > :01:25.if the UK government won't agree a formal currency union.

:01:26. > :01:29.All three opposition leaders pressed him on the issue at Holyrood

:01:30. > :01:35.And the former SNP deputy leader, Jim Sillars, has urged him to opt

:01:36. > :01:40.But Mr Salmond insists we'll continue to share

:01:41. > :01:50.Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

:01:51. > :01:59.Yes Scotland say independence would offer people the opportunity to grow

:02:00. > :02:06.the economy. But a cloud, controversy over the currency.

:02:07. > :02:10.Labour again urged Alex Salmond to name his alternative in

:02:11. > :02:17.independence. Alex Salmond knew what to expect, as the issue had

:02:18. > :02:22.dominated the televised debate. Labour said he could not force rest

:02:23. > :02:27.of the UK into a currency union against their will.

:02:28. > :02:30.Is it not clear that while he may have a plan to break up the United

:02:31. > :02:34.Kingdom, he does not have a plan for Scotland or the future of families

:02:35. > :02:39.across this country. Alex Salmond said options included

:02:40. > :02:42.the euro, a Scottish currency or using sterling without agreement.

:02:43. > :02:47.That would mean the rest of the UK kept the Bank of England, but also

:02:48. > :02:50.all the debts, missing out on five billion pounds every year from

:02:51. > :02:57.Scotland. Tempting, he said, but wrong. It would be extremely

:02:58. > :03:01.attractive for Scotland. But it is not a reasonable position

:03:02. > :03:05.to put forward. That is why as part of a formal currency union, it is

:03:06. > :03:09.our apparent, and we intend to keep it.

:03:10. > :03:13.The Chancellor and his counterpart in Labour and the Liberal Democrats

:03:14. > :03:19.have all ruled out a currency union, which the Scottish Government

:03:20. > :03:22.regards as a bluff. By this leading independence

:03:23. > :03:29.campaigner thinks it is time to choose another currency option.

:03:30. > :03:33.We have a viable alternative, and that is a Scottish currency with our

:03:34. > :03:39.own central bank printing Scottish notes which we will peg completely

:03:40. > :03:44.disturbing so there is no difference whatsoever, and for the life of me,

:03:45. > :03:48.I cannot understand why Alex Salmond cannot say that the Scottish

:03:49. > :03:50.people. The First Minister says he remains

:03:51. > :03:52.convinced the UK will withdraw opposition to a formal union if

:03:53. > :03:55.there is a Yes vote in September. And Glenn joins us now

:03:56. > :03:57.from Holyrood. So, Glenn - is Alex Salmond

:03:58. > :04:07.sticking with his Plan A? It seems so. He used the phrase, "it

:04:08. > :04:12.is Scotland's pound and we're keeping it." And the more resolute

:04:13. > :04:17.he sounds on this, the more difficult it becomes for him to

:04:18. > :04:23.change tack down the line. There is the recipe of opinion within the Yes

:04:24. > :04:30.campaign. It is not just Jim Sellers, but also the Scottish Green

:04:31. > :04:32.party leader, and the chairman of Yes Scotland, Dennis Canavan, who

:04:33. > :04:39.would prefer a separate Scottish currency. The Yes campaign say this

:04:40. > :04:42.diversity is sign of strength. You can bet the opponents will try to

:04:43. > :04:47.exploit it as a sign of weakness and division, perhaps tomorrow when Ed

:04:48. > :04:48.Miliband joined the campaign in Scotland.

:04:49. > :04:50.And there have been further interventions into the independence

:04:51. > :05:05.Yes, 27 US Congressmen and Congresswoman have reflected the

:05:06. > :05:10.view that the United Kingdom should remain united. They say that is in

:05:11. > :05:14.the United States' national security interests. We have also had an

:05:15. > :05:18.intervention from the broadcaster Dan Snow who has collected

:05:19. > :05:25.signatures from 200 prominent figures, including Sir Mick Jagger

:05:26. > :05:31.and Dean Judi Dench, and they hope the celebrity currency will

:05:32. > :05:37.encourage Scots to vote no on September the 18th. Scotland say

:05:38. > :05:44.that all of those who Scotland's interest at heart will welcome

:05:45. > :05:46.Scotland becoming an independent country that is what the people of

:05:47. > :05:47.Scotland decides. The Palestinian flag is to be raised

:05:48. > :05:50.at Glasgow City Chambers tomorrow in support of people affected

:05:51. > :05:52.by the conflict in Gaza. But, the city's Jewish

:05:53. > :05:54.Representative Council says the move does "nothing to alleviate suffering

:05:55. > :06:10.on either side of the conflict". Today there was a lobby of

:06:11. > :06:15.Parliament at Holyrood for victims of the conflict in Gaza. Around 40

:06:16. > :06:18.MSPs keen to show support. Last month, the Scottish Government

:06:19. > :06:23.announced it is providing half ?1 million to help people affected. In

:06:24. > :06:29.recent weeks, the conflict has seen the deaths of almost 1900

:06:30. > :06:33.Palestinians and 67 Israelis. Glasgow is twinned with Bethlehem,

:06:34. > :06:37.part of Palestine, although not in the Gaza Strip. The two cities have

:06:38. > :06:42.had a long-standing relationship. The Palestinian flag is set to fly

:06:43. > :06:46.here tomorrow between it caught in the morning and five o'clock in the

:06:47. > :06:50.afternoon. In a letter to the Mayor of Bethlehem, the Lord Provost of

:06:51. > :06:54.Glasgow says that this is in solidarity with the people of

:06:55. > :06:57.Bethlehem and Palestine, and she offers her condolences to those in

:06:58. > :07:03.Palestine affected by this conflict. Some members of the Jewish

:07:04. > :07:08.community feel angered and hurt by the move.

:07:09. > :07:12.I think it is appallingly divisive, and I think it is a pity after such

:07:13. > :07:16.a successful Commonwealth Games which brought people together,

:07:17. > :07:20.Glasgow City Council are setting one side against another side.

:07:21. > :07:25.Glasgow Council says this is not about taking sides.

:07:26. > :07:29.We have no connection whatsoever with high Mass, and we have sympathy

:07:30. > :07:33.with victims on all sides of this conflict wouldn't be people from

:07:34. > :07:38.Israel, Palestine, Bethlehem, wherever.

:07:39. > :07:44.Glasgow is not the first local authority with a history of

:07:45. > :07:48.supporting the cause. Dundee's support cost protest in the nineteen

:07:49. > :07:52.eighties. Last week and is really show at the Edinburgh fringe was

:07:53. > :08:00.cancelled after just one performance following a protest by April Hamas

:08:01. > :08:02.group. Glasgow council says it is because of these images of

:08:03. > :08:05.devastation it will raise the Palestinian flag. Fife Council has

:08:06. > :08:07.similar plans. The nuclear power station

:08:08. > :08:10.at Hunterston in Ayrshire is receiving a multi-million pound

:08:11. > :08:12.overhaul, after the decision to The plant's operators say

:08:13. > :08:17.the project is delivering But anti-nuclear campaigners say

:08:18. > :08:21.it's time for Hunterston to close. Our environment correspondent,

:08:22. > :08:35.David Miller, reports. Hunterston B on the Ayrshire coast.

:08:36. > :08:40.It began operating in 1876 and has been helping to keep the lights on

:08:41. > :08:46.across Scotland ever since. This power station has already had its

:08:47. > :08:50.working life extended until 2023. Huge sums of money are being

:08:51. > :08:57.invested here to ensure it continues to operate safely and efficiently.

:08:58. > :09:01.The project is the result of two years of meticulous planning.

:09:02. > :09:06.Workforce here has more than doubled in size.

:09:07. > :09:11.Obviously as the plant ages we have to look at what is ageing and

:09:12. > :09:14.replace some components, and more importantly test and inspect

:09:15. > :09:18.components as you would with a vintage car.

:09:19. > :09:22.The replacement of this massive transformer unit is one of the

:09:23. > :09:28.biggest tasks. The overall cost is more than ?20 million. Businesses

:09:29. > :09:35.across the West of Scotland are benefiting.

:09:36. > :09:38.Our nuclear business is very important to sustaining jobs locally

:09:39. > :09:44.and investing in facilities like what you see here in Renfrew.

:09:45. > :09:48.For opponents of nuclear energy insist that Hunterston should be

:09:49. > :09:52.decommissioned. This thing is limping along, the

:09:53. > :09:56.spending a lot of money to keep it limping along when it could break

:09:57. > :10:00.down at any point, and we do not need it, in Scotland we are

:10:01. > :10:04.exporting electricity to England most days because we create so much

:10:05. > :10:08.electricity here. Hunterston and its sister station

:10:09. > :10:12.will require major investment in the coming years. Expect the sparks to

:10:13. > :10:14.keep flying in the debate on nuclear energy.

:10:15. > :10:15.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.

:10:16. > :10:18.Still to come on tonight's programme:

:10:19. > :10:21.We visit Little Sparta - a sculpture garden in the Pentland Hills and one

:10:22. > :10:28.no champions league for Celtic this year.

:10:29. > :10:30.Has a lack of investment in players cost Celtic dear?

:10:31. > :10:33.And the Scots swimmer who says gold at Glasgow's put her

:10:34. > :10:44.Could you live without your smartphone?

:10:45. > :10:47.Would you get withdrawal symptoms if you couldn't go online

:10:48. > :10:51.Research out today suggests that Scots are taking up smartphones

:10:52. > :10:54.at a faster rate than people in the rest of the UK.

:10:55. > :11:02.Our correspondent Jamie McIvor has been looking at the research.

:11:03. > :11:04.In a relatively short time phones with an internet connection have

:11:05. > :11:09.More than 6 out of 10 of us now have one.

:11:10. > :11:12.The number of us with one has gone up 17% in just a year.

:11:13. > :11:14.And it seems we've been starting to use

:11:15. > :11:19.our mobiles to go online wherever we are, at a faster rate than people

:11:20. > :11:35.Relaxing over coffee and the web. For many of us, tracking the

:11:36. > :11:41.Internet when we're out about has become an addiction.

:11:42. > :11:47.You get used to it, it just makes life easier.

:11:48. > :11:53.34-mac hours a day, probably. It is part of life. It is what we do.

:11:54. > :11:59.It is an addiction, yes, but I don't think I could do without it.

:12:00. > :12:07.This has been my replacement for a newspaper, and that is it.

:12:08. > :12:13.The typical Scott spends two and a half hours a day on the Internet.

:12:14. > :12:17.That is a little less than the UK average, but more are getting the

:12:18. > :12:21.habit. The more people go online, the more

:12:22. > :12:22.there will be buzz about the benefits and more people will want

:12:23. > :12:26.that experience. And more of us now have

:12:27. > :12:29.the internet at home too. More than three quarters of us -

:12:30. > :12:31.have broadband. There'd been some concern Scotland

:12:32. > :12:34.had been lagging behind when it came These fears now seem

:12:35. > :12:47.to be being allayed. Last month and upper tier tax

:12:48. > :12:52.tribunal dismissed in HMRC appeal against a first-year decision made

:12:53. > :12:55.on players and other employees of Rangers football club. Tax authority

:12:56. > :13:01.argued unsuccessfully that the payment should be taxable. The group

:13:02. > :13:04.which formerly owned Rangers argued that the money was loans.

:13:05. > :13:06.A statue of Clyde, Glasgow's Commonwealth Games mascot,

:13:07. > :13:09.has been stolen from a street in the Govan area of the city.

:13:10. > :13:12.Our reporter Aileen Clarke joins us now from Victoria Park where there

:13:13. > :13:27.This Clyde is still here, but not for long. If you look over there you

:13:28. > :13:32.will see a council team poised and ready to take this one to a place of

:13:33. > :13:40.safety, as soon as I am finished speaking. This is a very sad tale of

:13:41. > :13:43.modern life. The Clyde in Govan was happily standing on his plans last

:13:44. > :13:47.night, but when people turned up to work this morning we noticed that

:13:48. > :13:52.there Clyde, with the Finnieston Crane on his chest, was missing.

:13:53. > :13:56.When he was reported stolen, the City Council for the best thing was

:13:57. > :14:05.to gather in all the others that were out in the city just in case.

:14:06. > :14:08.It happened been their intention to gather the statues in when the

:14:09. > :14:12.children went back to school, so they are doing it a little earlier.

:14:13. > :14:17.That have been a few instances of the plaques being vandalised, so

:14:18. > :14:21.they thought they would give them a brush up. They are hoping to get

:14:22. > :14:26.them back out to public view once that has been done, but it seems

:14:27. > :14:32.that will not be in open spaces in parks like this, it will be inside

:14:33. > :14:35.buildings like sports centres. So if anybody comes up to you in a pub

:14:36. > :14:41.this weekend and asks if you want to buy a second-hand Clyde, the answer

:14:42. > :14:43.is just see no. Always good advice!

:14:44. > :14:46.For the last few weeks the media spotlight has been on Scotland for

:14:47. > :14:49.But that gaze will now refocus on the referendum.

:14:50. > :14:52.Our Referendum Correspondent Laura Bicker has been taking a look

:14:53. > :15:08.As the lone piper bead athletes farewell, it was time for the

:15:09. > :15:12.world's media to prepare for Scotland's next big contest. What

:15:13. > :15:18.have our visitors made of the independence referendum?

:15:19. > :15:24.Yes, yes, yes from the younger ones, and no from the oldies.

:15:25. > :15:29.I only found out about it when I got to the UK a few weeks ago.

:15:30. > :15:31.The only thing I know is it is a one-way decision, so it is a big

:15:32. > :15:37.decision. I think a lot of people want

:15:38. > :15:41.independence, I think so. Amongst the journalists we found

:15:42. > :15:46.Scott Russell from Canada. Qu?bec has twice asked its people if they

:15:47. > :15:51.want to become an independent state, and twice the answer has been no.

:15:52. > :15:56.Although, the last time, it was close.

:15:57. > :16:00.This is all about culture, it is all about self-determination. People

:16:01. > :16:04.tend to recall the history when the need to and when they want to, and I

:16:05. > :16:08.think this is what is going to happen in Scotland. If the

:16:09. > :16:14.referendum does not succeed this time, it will come back.

:16:15. > :16:18.ABC in Australia has made documentaries on the referendum.

:16:19. > :16:22.This correspondent was born in Uddingston but left in the nineteen

:16:23. > :16:26.nineties. I think Australians like the idea

:16:27. > :16:29.that Scotland might reject the English. There is such a rivalry

:16:30. > :16:36.between Australia and England in sport, the Australians love to call

:16:37. > :16:39.the English the palms. There is nothing more exciting for the

:16:40. > :16:54.Israeli and Zanon England - Australia sporting match. -- nothing

:16:55. > :17:00.more exciting for the Australians. The world's gaze has not left

:17:01. > :17:03.Scotland. We are still watching and waiting to see how we will vote.

:17:04. > :17:06.It was once voted Scotland's most important work of art.

:17:07. > :17:09.Yet Little Sparta, a sculpture garden in the Pentland Hills, is one

:17:10. > :17:25.It is in the middle of the countryside and you have to walk

:17:26. > :17:29.along path to get their. It feels like a pilgrimage, which is apt for

:17:30. > :17:34.one of the most special gardens in Scotland. Little Sparta is a six and

:17:35. > :17:39.a half acre garden containing almost 300 artworks. It was created by Ian

:17:40. > :17:44.Hamilton Finlay lived here until his death in 2006.

:17:45. > :17:48.One of the things important to Scottish art is the sense of culture

:17:49. > :17:52.in place. The landscape here is incredible in terms of how he

:17:53. > :17:56.interpreted and took universal themes, classical themes, themes of

:17:57. > :18:01.war, and put it in a specific place.

:18:02. > :18:06.Until recently Little Sparta has been run by a trust with limited

:18:07. > :18:12.access to preserve the artworks and the solitude. But now there has been

:18:13. > :18:16.a partnership to boost its profile and visitor numbers.

:18:17. > :18:21.I think more people to come and enjoy. It is perhaps too little

:18:22. > :18:24.known in Scotland. But you are right, it is a fragile place, and we

:18:25. > :18:28.could not have thousands and thousands of visitors, and we need

:18:29. > :18:32.to protect it. They are convinced little Sparta

:18:33. > :18:37.could be an international attraction without visiting in person.

:18:38. > :18:42.There are other ways in the world we live in today promoting the garden

:18:43. > :18:48.and its history. Through the web, through publication, and through

:18:49. > :18:52.very carefully managed visits. The new partnership hoped to draw up

:18:53. > :18:54.plans for the site shortly, and begin fundraising to share this

:18:55. > :18:58.garden of the lights with a worldwide audience.

:18:59. > :19:04.The former Celtic favourite Murdo Macleod believes a lack

:19:05. > :19:07.of investment in the team has cost the Parkhead club a place

:19:08. > :19:14.Celtic lost 2-nil to Polish side Legia Warsaw

:19:15. > :19:17.at Murrayfield last night to bow out of the tournament 6-1 on aggregate.

:19:18. > :19:20.That means they will now need to negotiate a play-off to get

:19:21. > :19:32.Trailing from the first leg it would oldies be tough for Celtic, but

:19:33. > :19:36.their opponents killed the tie before half-time. One former Celtic

:19:37. > :19:42.star believes no big-name signings prior to the qualifiers was a gamble

:19:43. > :19:46.too far. No Champions League, they have lost

:19:47. > :19:50.their ?10 million they have had for the last few years, so they will be

:19:51. > :19:53.really disappointed. They will be looking at themselves and saying,

:19:54. > :19:58.perhaps they should have moved quicker.

:19:59. > :20:03.In the last two seasons Celtic reap the benefits of progress in the

:20:04. > :20:14.Champions League. Celtic and eight ?18.8 million in season 2012. Even

:20:15. > :20:19.if they qualify for the Europa League, they will be lucky to earn

:20:20. > :20:24.?2 million from the competition. It is devastating, but we have to

:20:25. > :20:26.pick ourselves up quickly. Questions will be asked of the new

:20:27. > :20:32.manager after Celtic bowed out without a fight.

:20:33. > :20:39.We have a big job to do to improve as a team. We can win the league,

:20:40. > :20:43.and get into the Europa League, that is a good achievement for us.

:20:44. > :20:48.He said he wanted to rebuild the Celtic team. I don't think it needed

:20:49. > :20:54.rebuilding, it needed one or two quality players added to the squad.

:20:55. > :20:55.One way they could recoup some of that lost revenue is selling top

:20:56. > :20:59.stars like goalkeeper. St Johnstone are in Slovakia for the

:21:00. > :21:02.second leg of their Europa league The Saints trailing two one

:21:03. > :21:06.from the first leg. The latest score early

:21:07. > :21:12.in the first half of tonight's match Now, a look at what else is

:21:13. > :21:34.happening across Scottish sport. Use for their manager says they need

:21:35. > :21:40.to do to save the Thai. We need to try to get on the front

:21:41. > :21:45.foot and cause them problems. And there is coverage of the

:21:46. > :21:54.Aberdeen and St Johnstone matches on radio Scotland.

:21:55. > :21:57.The Finland international has re-signed for kill manic. He has

:21:58. > :22:02.committed himself for the coming season.

:22:03. > :22:08.Inverness say they have had no contact from an English club about

:22:09. > :22:15.selling the striker Mackay, who they do not want to sell anyway.

:22:16. > :22:26.Billy Mackay will be in the starting 11 come Saturday.

:22:27. > :22:33.Andy Murray plays in the third round tonight. You can keep up-to-date

:22:34. > :22:35.Scotland's gold medallist swimmer Hannah Miley says the Glasgow Games

:22:36. > :22:38.have given her "a massive confidence booster" ahead of the Rio Olympics,

:22:39. > :22:50.but the 24-year-old won?t commit to defending her title at the Gold

:22:51. > :22:55.It wasn't just winning the gold medal, it was the manner of the

:22:56. > :23:01.victory that has given Hannah Miley all the desire she needs to continue

:23:02. > :23:05.with her international career. The other big is in my side. This

:23:06. > :23:12.has given me a huge confidence booster. This has given me a

:23:13. > :23:16.breakthrough swim. I take my career in two year blocks, so I have to

:23:17. > :23:22.wait and see what happens after the Olympics. But who doesn't love

:23:23. > :23:25.Australia? At the next Commonwealth Games team

:23:26. > :23:31.Scotland has a hard act to follow. How does Scottish sport Bild the

:23:32. > :23:34.future? It is an opportunity, and the

:23:35. > :23:38.governing bodies will try to use it to their advantage. You have to

:23:39. > :23:42.grasp the iron while it is hard and make the most of it, because it will

:23:43. > :23:51.fade away and then the legacy will not be created. Coming back again,

:23:52. > :23:54.on the 20th of September for a Scottish gas swim. Hopefully it will

:23:55. > :23:57.be decked up for that event and encourage the public to come and

:23:58. > :24:04.swim in the same what are these champions swam in.

:24:05. > :24:07.So the message is clear from at least one gold medallist - the

:24:08. > :24:10.legacy will be lost if action is not taken.

:24:11. > :24:13.This week we've been remembering the men and women who fought

:24:14. > :24:17.But they weren't the only ones who served.

:24:18. > :24:27.For the first time, the British Army used dogs on the battlefield

:24:28. > :24:34.100 years ago as workloads gathered, dogs like these were being trained

:24:35. > :24:41.on this beach for a much more serious purpose. The soldier was

:24:42. > :24:44.living in Carnoustie in the years before World War I. He believed your

:24:45. > :24:50.deals have the right character for military service.

:24:51. > :24:55.They are very determined and single-minded. The go for what they

:24:56. > :24:58.want and there is no stopping them. That is the characteristic that is

:24:59. > :25:03.attractive to some people and not so attractive to others.

:25:04. > :25:06.The military and other countries such as France and Germany were

:25:07. > :25:13.already using dogs in a variety of roles. Eventually British high

:25:14. > :25:16.command were convinced that dogs had a role to play as messengers,

:25:17. > :25:22.carrying vital communications along the front line.

:25:23. > :25:27.Richardson also trained dogs as ambulance dogs to go into the field

:25:28. > :25:32.and find a wounded. In training here, each of the dogs carried a

:25:33. > :25:38.small bottle of spirits around their necks, and it is said those little

:25:39. > :25:43.bottles needed constant refilling. Some of the dogs even had their own

:25:44. > :25:46.gas masks, and it was dangerous work on the front line.

:25:47. > :25:53.There was one year deal who was shot in the job and his leg, went through

:25:54. > :26:00.the trenches, past the message over, and then drop dead. That is the

:26:01. > :26:05.determination of these dogs. Dogs have continued to play a role

:26:06. > :26:09.ever since. Their services also been remembered on this anniversary.

:26:10. > :26:11.As the weekend approaches, let's see how the weather is shaping up.

:26:12. > :26:25.Some sunshine around this afternoon. And some late evening

:26:26. > :26:38.sunshine across most parts of the country.

:26:39. > :26:47.A further feed of showers to come in the early hours. Things a touch

:26:48. > :26:54.cooler in the countryside. Perhaps a rumble of thunder or two in the

:26:55. > :27:01.West. And things will cloud over as we head into the afternoon. By

:27:02. > :27:07.mid-afternoon, in Lanarkshire and the Borders, the Lothian 's and

:27:08. > :27:11.five, expect a few showers. In the West those showers will be with us

:27:12. > :27:18.for a large part of the day. We might not reach Glasgow, Phil. As we

:27:19. > :27:23.head into the rest of the evening, those showers make their way for the

:27:24. > :27:29.eastwards. Some pretty torrential downpours to be had. Things look OK

:27:30. > :27:39.on Saturday, pleasant temperatures, light winds. And here I should issue

:27:40. > :27:46.a warning. We have a deep area of low pressure out to the east. It is

:27:47. > :27:51.pushing north between us and Scandinavia. It is offshore, so its

:27:52. > :27:55.position is questionable, and its position will mean the difference

:27:56. > :28:02.between a dry day and a wet day for the east. This area of low pressure

:28:03. > :28:05.pushing into the South of England is the remains of a hurricane, no

:28:06. > :28:13.longer a hurricane, but still wet and windy.

:28:14. > :28:19.I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm and the late bulletin just
