:01:10. > :01:12.tomorrow evening, to be attended by the Prime Minister, after
:01:13. > :01:16.the electoral commission warned it could be breaking the law.
:01:17. > :01:18.The commission, which monitors referendum rules,
:01:19. > :01:23.says it is a campaign event and so could break spending limits.
:01:24. > :01:25.Let's cross to our political editor Brian Taylor.
:01:26. > :01:39.The CBI Scotland regularly attracts really big-name political speakers,
:01:40. > :01:45.Prime Minister 's, member of Cabinet, etc. This is so normal, the
:01:46. > :01:49.snag is, these are not normal times. We are in the middle of an
:01:50. > :01:53.incredibly tight fought referendum campaign. The electoral commission
:01:54. > :01:56.has ruled that the dinner due to be addressed by the Prime Minister
:01:57. > :02:01.counts as a campaign event, because the Prime Minister intends to make a
:02:02. > :02:04.strong rallying call for the union and an attack upon independence. In
:02:05. > :02:07.those circumstances, they say, the Electoral Commission are having to
:02:08. > :02:11.scrutinise the expenditure very closely, it is understood. The CBI
:02:12. > :02:16.have confirmed that they have had to scale down their event as a
:02:17. > :02:19.consequence, with few guests attending, perhaps a less lavish
:02:20. > :02:23.affair generally, in order to stay within spending limits and avoid
:02:24. > :02:26.problems with the Electoral Commission, because the commission
:02:27. > :02:30.are saying they are scrutinising in advance and they will want to see
:02:31. > :02:34.the books, see the cost of this event, and if not satisfied, they
:02:35. > :02:42.can report matters to the Crown Office or the Procurator Fiscal.
:02:43. > :02:47.This is serious stuff. Yes, the CBI say they are adamant
:02:48. > :02:50.they will be within spending rules, and they have contained their
:02:51. > :02:56.proposals. But in April, they announced they were intending to
:02:57. > :02:58.register in general as a campaigner in the referendum against
:02:59. > :03:02.independence. They withdrew that plan following protests from some of
:03:03. > :03:06.their members. If you like, this is almost a backwash of that. The Prime
:03:07. > :03:09.Minister, I am sure, will try to brush his tomorrow and move on to
:03:10. > :03:13.the positive arguments as he sees it for the union. Otherwise, it has
:03:14. > :03:19.been a really busy day today on the campaign trail.
:03:20. > :03:22.In government, they had their differences, but Alistair Darling
:03:23. > :03:25.and Gordon Brown are now firmly on the same side. They shared a
:03:26. > :03:29.platform in Dundee, arguing for the union. With them, football
:03:30. > :03:35.commentator Archie MacPherson are speaking, he said, on behalf of
:03:36. > :03:40.pensioners. Agreements all-round? As we see today... Rubbish! Absolute
:03:41. > :03:47.rubbish! A heckler takes Gordon Brown to task. As the former Prime
:03:48. > :03:56.Minister persists, other audio 's members condemned the protest.
:03:57. > :04:01.After a lifetime in politics, Gordon Brown has seen it all, and so he
:04:02. > :04:06.carries on, arguing that UK wide funding protect pensions, welfare
:04:07. > :04:12.and the health service in Scotland. Our pride in being Scottish is also
:04:13. > :04:15.to defend our own institutions, support our Scottish Parliament, but
:04:16. > :04:19.also recognise that we are stronger and Better Together by sharing our

:04:39. > :04:43.while telling critics that reform is already in motion. She said Shetland
:04:44. > :04:46.and Scotland stood to gain from independence. This is about taking
:04:47. > :04:50.control of the future of our country. It is a fantastic
:04:51. > :04:53.opportunity, and I think the momentum is very firmly with the yes
:04:54. > :05:00.campaign, and I am very confident it will be a yes vote in three weeks'
:05:01. > :05:03.time. And more on the NHS. Scottish Health Secretary Alex Neil says

:05:28. > :05:31.Here's our political correspondent Tim Reid.
:05:32. > :05:36.The nation's future rests in the hands of Scottish voters, voters
:05:37. > :05:40.like Daniel Graham, who this afternoon in Peterhead became one of
:05:41. > :05:46.the first to post his vote. It is a very important part of the next
:05:47. > :05:50.couple of years. I just decided to do a postal vote, because I have a
:05:51. > :05:53.bad back, and I was not sure if I would be OK on the day of the
:05:54. > :05:56.referendum. I did not want to miss it. More people will post their
:05:57. > :06:05.votes than ever before. So far, there have been more than
:06:06. > :06:09.680,000 applications, a total of 16% of the electorate. Those figures
:06:10. > :06:12.will rise as people continue to register. We have more people
:06:13. > :06:14.applying for a postal vote. They are always more likely to
:06:15. > :06:19.actually cashed their vote than people who are not postal voters. We
:06:20. > :06:23.have the largest electorate, so I think it is safe to say we will have
:06:24. > :06:26.the largest number of postal votes to handle.
:06:27. > :06:31.Those in charge one tip your boat is to count, it is just one cross, yes

:06:40. > :06:42.18th. My work is offshore, I did not know whether I would be here or
:06:43. > :06:46.offshore. So this was too important to leave, to say, in four years, I
:06:47. > :06:52.will get another chance. This is it. This is the one chance Scotland will
:06:53. > :06:56.get to vote one the other. However you vote, whether in post or
:06:57. > :06:59.in person, the question remains the same and the ballot they do very
:07:00. > :07:02.much like this. Despite the large number of postal voters in this
:07:03. > :07:05.referendum, the vast majority will visit the polling booth and cut
:07:06. > :07:10.their vote in a ballot box much like this.
:07:11. > :07:15.And if you do have a postal vote, there is a warning to night to avoid
:07:16. > :07:19.taking a photograph of your boat and then posting it online. Scotland's
:07:20. > :07:23.chief returning officer says while it is not necessarily a criminal
:07:24. > :07:27.offence to photograph a completed ballot paper, it is strongly
:07:28. > :07:30.discouraged as it could violate the secrecy of the ballot, which is
:07:31. > :07:31.fundamental to the integrity of the process.
:07:32. > :07:33.Senior figures in Scottish business have clashed
:07:34. > :07:36.In an open letter, 130 leading business people warned
:07:37. > :07:39.that leaving the UK would threaten jobs and investment.

:08:05. > :08:10.of some of the country's biggest known brands, like Famous Grouse and
:08:11. > :08:15.Toner's Teacakes spelled-out today why they will vote no. They stress
:08:16. > :08:18.they speak only for themselves, but they claim the business case for
:08:19. > :08:22.independence has not been made. What currency do we trade in? That is a
:08:23. > :08:30.very fundamental question for business. As we look at the options,
:08:31. > :08:34.whichever route is adopted by an independent Scotland, there will be
:08:35. > :08:38.additional costs for Scottish business. In an open letter, the
:08:39. > :08:43.business figures point to uncertainty about regulation,
:08:44. > :08:47.taxation, and they say, uncertainty is bad for business.
:08:48. > :08:51.Different firms have different priorities. The company bosses who
:08:52. > :08:54.have signed this open letter today are looking to trade across the
:08:55. > :08:58.border with the rest of the UK, but other firms have different
:08:59. > :09:06.customers. They may take a different view.
:09:07. > :09:11.Campaigners on both sides of the debate have been reaching out to
:09:12. > :09:15.Scottish firms. And some business leaders here say a
:09:16. > :09:20.yes vote would give a boost to Scotland's trade overseas and grow
:09:21. > :09:26.market at home as well. I don't think there is any greater
:09:27. > :09:29.risk at this moment. I think it is exactly opposite, I think we will
:09:30. > :09:32.see great opportunity for an independent Scotland. We can promote
:09:33. > :09:36.ourselves around the world and attract inward investment by
:09:37. > :09:39.promoting our best interests. With the campaign hotting up and the
:09:40. > :09:45.referendum just weeks away, this may not be the last intervention of its

:13:26. > :13:33.Heckling, booing and a heated debate, and I was just the first
:13:34. > :13:37.five minutes. The exercise on the 18th of September is forever. This
:13:38. > :13:41.was a husband with a difference. Many people here do not have a home
:13:42. > :13:44.or can afford food, but they certainly have a view on
:13:45. > :13:48.independence. Politicians started off by urging them to vote. For too
:13:49. > :13:53.long, disadvantaged people have not had a say. This is a day you can
:13:54. > :14:00.have a say. This is Scotland's time. Please, use your vote. Take Kirsty
:14:01. > :14:01.and Tracey. One is Yes, the other No.
:14:02. > :14:07.Kirsty now has a flat, but has been homeless and she was 16. Tracey is

:14:14. > :14:18.which I do not agree with it all. I doubt we could do it England. I

:14:26. > :14:30.This group of people traditionally have the lowest turnout of any voter
:14:31. > :14:34.group. There is a suspicion of the system, and a feeling that they do
:14:35. > :14:36.not count. People sometimes become
:14:37. > :14:40.disillusioned when they try to engage with local authorities or
:14:41. > :14:45.with government, or with the system. They seem to struggle, and nothing
:14:46. > :14:48.seems to change, and often, they shrug their shoulders and give up,
:14:49. > :14:51.and say, nothing will change No matter how I vote, and we are trying
:14:52. > :14:56.to engage with people and say, it really matter that you vote. And you
:14:57. > :14:59.can do that by filling out a declaration of local correction.
:15:00. > :15:03.You don't have to have a home, it could be a bust up, shelter, or a

:15:08. > :15:10.essentially a private event, and many people use the mission say they

:15:16. > :15:18.voices are being heard. To sport now
:15:19. > :15:23.and David has the latest. The Celtic manager Ronny Deila says
:15:24. > :15:27.his team simply aren't good enough They were knocked out
:15:28. > :15:30.in the final qualifying round last night by Maribor of Slovenia,
:15:31. > :15:33.who beat them at Celtic Park. But Deila is promising that
:15:34. > :15:49.his team will get better. A dangerous run into the six yard
:15:50. > :15:53.box. It comes back! Oh, No! Grim viewing for Celtic fans, grim
:15:54. > :15:57.reading today as well. But No excuses.
:15:58. > :16:00.IN the end, there is only one thing to say. We have not been good enough
:16:01. > :16:04.and we did not deserve to go to Champions League. That is the level
:16:05. > :16:07.now, and that is where we have to work up front. After the match last
:16:08. > :16:11.night, some supporters staged a protest. Those at Celtic Park
:16:12. > :16:18.today, less angry was still disappointed. Terrible. Awful. He's
:16:19. > :16:23.obviously not getting the support, moneywise. He has got to get support
:16:24. > :16:28.from the board. They have dropped down. Their level so for now, that I
:16:29. > :16:32.think a lot of people lost interest. There can be many who expect Celtic
:16:33. > :16:35.to win the greatest club competition in Europe.
:16:36. > :16:38.Things have changed since they did in 1967, and they have qualified
:16:39. > :16:44.just twice for the Champions League the last five years. So, our
:16:45. > :16:49.expectations simply high? It is a tall order, because everything has
:16:50. > :16:51.to be in place. You must have the right players, a manager. This year,
:16:52. > :16:55.it has been difficult with a new manager coming in and some players
:16:56. > :16:59.leaving. So maybe you are right, maybe we are setting bar very high,
:17:00. > :17:03.but that is what the fans expect. Maryland law at the second got to
:17:04. > :17:08.knock Celtic out of the competition this season. Warsaw did it as well,
:17:09. > :17:13.the four UEFA reinstated them. This time, there is No reprieve, just a
:17:14. > :17:15.place in the less prestigious Europa League.
:17:16. > :17:18.Celtic have completed the loan signing of Rubin Kazan
:17:19. > :17:20.winger Wakaso Mubarak on a one-year deal, with the option
:17:21. > :17:23.The deal to bring the 24-year-old to Scotland could make

:17:29. > :17:33.to qualify for next month's Ryder Cup at the final ranking event.
:17:34. > :17:36.He's in Turin for the Italian Open where nothing short
:17:37. > :17:40.of a very good week will leave him sweating on a captain's pick.
:17:41. > :17:48.Also in Turin is our golf reporter Phil Goodlad.
:17:49. > :17:55.Here in Turin, it is clear to say the Italian open is a two and for
:17:56. > :17:59.those players not usually in the spotlight. It is a little different
:18:00. > :18:03.this year, however, because of this man chasing his Ryder Cup dream.
:18:04. > :18:07.It has been my goal since I started playing golf, really, side and up I
:18:08. > :18:11.can get any higher than that. With just one automatic qualifying place
:18:12. > :18:14.still up for grabs, Stephen Gallagher needs to win here or
:18:15. > :18:18.finish second to make the European team. If he does not, it is an
:18:19. > :18:22.agonising wait for one of Captain Paul McGinley's three wild cards. A
:18:23. > :18:25.Scot trying to get is the Ryder Cup in Scotland.
:18:26. > :18:29.I want to get in it. I think the public would like it. Again, that is
:18:30. > :18:33.not a thing I can control, and until I can, it is up to someone public
:18:34. > :18:39.opinion. We will wait and see. Marc Warren also tees off here with
:18:40. > :18:43.Ryder Cup hopes. They are much slimmer than Gallagher's, however.
:18:44. > :18:47.If I win this week, I don't know what could happen, but I still think
:18:48. > :18:51.personally it is an outside chance. So, more than a decade after it was
:18:52. > :18:54.chosen to host the Ryder Cup, and after a year of team qualifying, the
:18:55. > :18:58.last few steps towards Gleneagles are about to take place.
:18:59. > :18:59.We are about to find out whether Scotland's Ryder Cup will finish any
:19:00. > :19:02.of our own hours on the course. Andy Murray says he's recovered
:19:03. > :19:05.from the severe cramp that affected him during his opening match
:19:06. > :19:07.at the US Open. He's been out
:19:08. > :19:09.on the practice court with his hitting partner, and is feeling
:19:10. > :19:27.good ahead of tomorrow's match. And. In our website, and if you more
:19:28. > :19:32.to catch. You will get the League Cup draw on our website as well.
:19:33. > :19:37.And now, the weather. Thank you. Good evening. Another day of
:19:38. > :19:41.summer, some sunshine. Don't be surprised, as it is still August.
:19:42. > :19:46.However, a change in the way. This weather front moves his way in as we
:19:47. > :19:50.head into this evening, so turning cloudy overnight tonight, and
:19:51. > :19:56.indeed, a bit wet. The chart from seven o'clock, and we can see the
:19:57. > :19:59.rain and cloud spreading his way in, accompanied by strengthening winds,
:20:00. > :20:01.potentially gale force around the south coast and inner Hebrides. But
:20:02. > :20:07.overnight, because of the cloud, rain and wind, not as cold as last
:20:08. > :20:11.night. Further north, where the rain and cloud isn't quite reaching a
:20:12. > :20:14.little bit cooler. Tomorrow, the rain continues its journey
:20:15. > :20:18.northwards. At daybreak, some rain around through the central belt, but
:20:19. > :20:23.it quickly clears. Behind it, drying up, with some bright or even sunny
:20:24. > :20:27.skies developing as we had through the day. By mid-afternoon, it is
:20:28. > :20:30.brighter and sunnier, but as the temperatures rise, we will see a
:20:31. > :20:40.number of showers being sparked off. One or two could well be quite
:20:41. > :20:43.heavy, but with winds from the South, temperatures not too bad, to
:20:44. > :20:46.19 degrees again, and certainly a better day for Dundee and Aberdeen.
:20:47. > :20:50.Mid to high teen temperatures. Further north, rain in the islands,
:20:51. > :20:54.but decent spells of sunshine by the end of the day. The rain continues
:20:55. > :20:58.its journey northwards, some late evening sunshine, but more rain on
:20:59. > :21:03.the way. Waiting in the wings, an area of low pressure, which will
:21:04. > :21:06.work in overnight as we had towards Friday, and the wind strengthens
:21:07. > :21:10.again from the South or Southwest, possibly touching gale force up the
:21:11. > :21:14.West Coast. For Friday, fairly unsubtle. Some bright sunny skies,
:21:15. > :21:19.but a number of blustery showers around, and the wind is quite strong
:21:20. > :21:23.at times. Temperatures OK, but to 19 degrees, but at the strength of the
:21:24. > :21:26.wind, and it will not feel that one. By Saturday, winds are lighter and
:21:27. > :21:33.showers less frequent. Mostly in the north and north-west. Any brighter
:21:34. > :21:35.skies up towards the high teens. Sunday looks good at the moment.
:21:36. > :21:36.That is the forecast. I do very much.
:21:37. > :21:38.In the aftermath of his commonwealth success, gold medal
:21:39. > :21:40.winning swimmer Ross Murdoch has been busy training, competing...
:21:41. > :21:42.and trying to track down a five-year-old fan.
:21:43. > :21:46.The little boy wrote to Ross - the letter was addressed simply to
:21:47. > :21:47.Ross Murdoch, Commonwealth Champion, Balloch.
:21:48. > :21:50.It found its recipient, and now Ross wants to meet his young fan.
:21:51. > :21:58.Catriona Renton has been helping out.
:21:59. > :22:05.It was these images of Ross Murdock winning gold that have turned him
:22:06. > :22:13.into an inspiration. Ross Murdock is going to take legal. And. Ross could
:22:14. > :22:16.hardly believe it himself when he won the Best Rogat Glasgow 2014, and
:22:17. > :22:24.now he has got a new biggest fan, but it is a mystery. Who is
:22:25. > :22:28.five-year-old Brian? I got this in the post. It got posted to my
:22:29. > :22:31.parents' address, but it was not actually the correct address. It got
:22:32. > :22:42.there eventually, so the Royal Mail did a great job of getting this out
:22:43. > :22:46.there! It says, Ross Murdoch, swimming pool, Balloch. Ross put out
:22:47. > :22:51.an appeal on Twitter to try to find him, but there is a Glasgow
:22:52. > :22:55.postmark, among few clues. He has had a great time doing it. He
:22:56. > :23:00.has put some Norton crosses, drawn a couple of pictures, he says, I am
:23:01. > :23:04.your biggest fan, and that he hopes that I really like it.
:23:05. > :23:05.Ross is delighted that Brian has seen him swimming and has got in
:23:06. > :23:09.touch. I think it is really good, the fact
:23:10. > :23:15.I have supporters from such a young age. It makes doing all this sort of
:23:16. > :23:19.stuff worthwhile, because I have always wanted to be that person that
:23:20. > :23:22.can inspire the next generation. Ultimately, this boy could be the
:23:23. > :23:27.future of Scottish women, and there are lots of children out there that
:23:28. > :23:31.could also be. So, if Ross finds Brian, what can he expect to matter
:23:32. > :23:35.I'd love him to come here to Sterling, show him the pool, maybe
:23:36. > :23:39.get him in the pool and have a bit of a swim, show him the gang that I
:23:40. > :23:43.train with. Just show him the whole setup here.
:23:44. > :23:48.That would be a massive tree for him, wouldn't it? I think it could
:23:49. > :23:54.be! I assume he would enjoy it. Tonight, a potential lead.
:23:55. > :23:57.A lady has contacted Ross' Twitter, thinking the letter is from her son
:23:58. > :24:07.Brian, so hopefully, he will meet his hero soon.
:24:08. > :24:13.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news.
:24:14. > :24:18.The CBI has had to scale down a dinner to be held tomorrow night in
:24:19. > :24:22.Glasgow, after the electoral commission warned it could be
:24:23. > :24:26.breaking electoral spending law. The first people to vote in the
:24:27. > :24:28.referendum did so today, well polling day may not be until
:24:29. > :24:32.September the team, postal ballots began dropping across doormats Homs
:24:33. > :24:35.in Scotland this morning. There are increasing calls for
:24:36. > :24:38.people in positions of responsibility to be held to account
:24:39. > :24:41.following the report into widespread sexual abuse in Rotherham. The
:24:42. > :24:46.police, the council, and social services have been decided but
:24:47. > :24:49.knowing about the abuse but failing to stop it.
:24:50. > :24:52.And that is Reporting Scotland. I am back with the headline that they do
:24:53. > :24:55.cry, and the late bulletin is just after the Ten O'Clock News. Until
:24:56. > :24:56.then, from everyone here, good evening.
