:06:04. > :06:07.Federation says in the event of a Paris style attack here, the first
:06:08. > :06:11.officers on the scene would be powerless to take on the attackers
:06:12. > :06:18.and the armed response vehicles which were coming to be able to

:06:23. > :06:26.officers to carry arms routinely so they can deal with incidents like
:06:27. > :06:30.this. The general secretary says when we look at the tactical
:06:31. > :06:35.capabilities of the French police and the speed at which they were
:06:36. > :06:40.deployed, it is clear in his words that Scotland equipped, under
:06:41. > :06:44.resourced and underprepared. The events in Paris have caused police
:06:45. > :06:49.forces across the world to assess their own response to terrorism and
:06:50. > :06:54.its clear that if Scotland were to kind of attack, not only do we not
:06:55. > :06:58.have the capability to respond to it effectively, we don't even have the
:06:59. > :07:03.ability to contain it, and so we believe more police officers should

:18:17. > :18:20.Philadelphia. One stadium under consideration. A little too far for

:20:14. > :20:18.I think we are all ready to go. Now,
:20:19. > :20:20.as golf's rule makers look at ways to speed the game up to make it more
:20:21. > :20:23.attractive, one Scottish golfer says a four-hour time limit on completing
:20:24. > :20:26.a round could be the answer. The Royal Ancient are currently
:20:27. > :20:29.hosting a two-day conference on how best to improve the game and shorten
:20:30. > :20:41.the time it takes to play a round. It should take between three and
:20:42. > :20:45.three-and-a-half hours to go around an 18-hole golf course. At the
:20:46. > :20:50.professional level these day it is's taking five-hours or more. How can
:20:51. > :21:00.the game's ruling body speed things up? This golfer has spent 15 years
:21:01. > :21:05.on the European Tour. He feels extreme measures are required to
:21:06. > :21:09.punish or rectify slow play. For me to make a big difference something
:21:10. > :21:12.radical like you have four-hours. If you are not round the course in
:21:13. > :21:15.four-hours you don't finish the round. Harsh. Is it going to take
:21:16. > :21:20.something like that? Will that make people speed up? People are doing
:21:21. > :21:23.other things as well. We can't spend all day playing golf. We are trying
:21:24. > :21:29.to get more kids into the game. Do they want to come and stand on a
:21:30. > :21:32.golf course waiting to play every shot, taking four-and-a-half hours
:21:33. > :21:38.to get round? I don't think they do. The issues of the day involving golf
:21:39. > :21:45.are regularly debated. Where else the 19th hole. When I started
:21:46. > :21:49.playing they were marking the ball as many times as three times on one
:21:50. > :21:54.green. You shouldn't have to mark your When you are ball. Playing for
:21:55. > :22:01.that kind of money, maybe there is some justification for the pace
:22:02. > :22:05.slowing. There should be punishment, particularly professionals, who take
:22:06. > :22:14.long times to play. Whether it is a shot penalty or something like that.
:22:15. > :22:18.Yeah, why not. If they are going to make golf quicker, they will have to
:22:19. > :22:22.hit a few ideas around before arriving in a solution. John Barnes
