:03:36. > :03:47.The Labour Party cannot stand by on the sidelines. You believe it should

:03:55. > :03:57.us, the politicians are already out on the campaign trail for the next

:03:58. > :03:59.big national vote. The referendum on the United

:04:00. > :04:01.Kingdom's place in or out of the European Union is just over

:04:02. > :04:04.six weeks away. The battle's been raging

:04:05. > :04:06.within the UK government, and today, Whitehall and Westminster stepped it

:04:07. > :04:08.up in Scotland. Our business and economy editor,

:04:09. > :04:11.Douglas Fraser, reports One campaign done, three days later,

:04:12. > :04:14.the politicians are back fortifying Those sightings of

:04:15. > :04:24.Whitehall ministers Liz Truss visited this

:04:25. > :04:27.whiskey distillery in East Lothian, meeting bosses

:04:28. > :04:30.and emphasising the role What the Out campaign have said

:04:31. > :04:39.is they want separate regulations here in

:04:40. > :04:41.the UK than Europe. to follow UK regulations,

:04:42. > :04:46.then they would have to follow EU regulations which we

:04:47. > :04:51.would have no say over. It would mean extra hassle,

:04:52. > :04:53.more red tape, not less red tape, and it

:04:54. > :04:56.means there would be less whiskey exported and fewer

:04:57. > :05:02.jobs here in Scotland. The way the campaign has been

:05:03. > :05:05.going on Westminster and across England has not impressed the SNP's

:05:06. > :05:08.foreign affairs spokesman. The former First

:05:09. > :05:14.Minister took his case for remaining in the EU

:05:15. > :05:18.to Brussels today. The Remain campaign has

:05:19. > :05:28.been very dispiriting. You cannot galvanise or motivate

:05:29. > :05:35.people on negatives. 21 months on from that referendum,

:05:36. > :05:38.there will not need to be much One Tory MP was keen to emphasise

:05:39. > :05:47.the benefits of small Have you looked at what is

:05:48. > :05:53.happening in Iceland, for The Icelandics, a small country,

:05:54. > :05:59.they are selling their fish They are global traders

:06:00. > :06:08.because they are As for the whiskey

:06:09. > :06:11.industry, its appeal crosses boundaries and

:06:12. > :06:19.political divisions. The reason Scottish whiskey does

:06:20. > :06:22.so well and sells on the continent, is because it is

:06:23. > :06:24.a very good product. In France, they sell more bottles

:06:25. > :06:26.than they do of If we come out of the EU,

:06:27. > :06:30.they will still want to buy There are six weeks until this

:06:31. > :06:34.result is uncorked. Scotland's focus turns

:06:35. > :06:38.to a new campaign this week, with questions to be distilled

:06:39. > :06:44.around the identity. We can expect more

:06:45. > :06:47.politicians to head north of the border but we cannot expect them

:06:48. > :06:51.to agree with each other. A friend of two women accused

:06:52. > :06:54.of murdering Liam Fee has told a court they "knew

:06:55. > :06:58.they were going to jail". Sean Catherall said Rachel

:07:23. > :07:39.been googling injuries He said they all went to a pub

:07:40. > :07:43.to chat about what had He said both women were distraught

:07:44. > :07:47.and some crazy things had He said there was not much chat

:07:48. > :07:51.about Liam, but they used horrible words to describe

:07:52. > :07:53.the other young boy, pretty much saying he

:07:54. > :07:54.was Mr Taylor said that the women said

:07:55. > :08:01.they would go to jail for neglect. He said Rachel asked would they get

:08:44. > :08:47.the figure for the rest of the UK. Their report says arrears could rise

:08:48. > :08:50.even further, as volatility in the oil industry

:08:51. > :08:51.increases unemployment 75 years ago tomorrow,

:08:52. > :08:54.one of the strangest episodes of the Second World War

:08:55. > :08:56.took place in Scotland. Late in the evening,

:08:57. > :08:58.a German plane crashed The pilot turned out to be Hitler's

:08:59. > :09:02.deputy Rudolph Hess, who was on a secret mission,

:09:03. > :09:04.the details of which have He flew from Bavaria

:09:05. > :09:09.straight to Scotland, With the plane out of fuel,

:09:10. > :09:34.Rudolf Hess bailed out just before A farmer detained him before

:09:35. > :09:37.the Home Guard took him to Glasgow. There, Hess asked for and was

:09:38. > :09:43.granted a meeting with the Duke of Hamilton, a senior RAF officer

:09:44. > :09:46.who Hess believed wrongly He gave a false name to everybody

:09:47. > :09:53.else but revealed his true identity to my father and when my father

:09:54. > :09:55.reported to Churchill, 40 years ago, James Douglas

:09:56. > :10:08.Hamilton's book was regarded as the definitive

:10:09. > :10:17.account of the incident. He believed Hess came without

:10:18. > :10:19.Hitler's knowledge to try and get Britain out of the war,

:10:20. > :10:22.not for the sake of peace, but because Germany planned

:10:23. > :10:24.to attack Russia and Hess did not believe they could

:10:25. > :10:26.win an two fronts. A version of events Hess

:10:27. > :10:28.did not deny. It was put to him, points made

:10:29. > :10:31.in my book about him, and he did not deny what I had said,

:10:32. > :10:35.which is he wanted to get Britain out of the war before

:10:36. > :10:37.Germany attacked Russia. And he also accepted that he had

:10:38. > :10:40.never met my father before The book is republished

:10:41. > :10:51.for the 75th anniversary, with additional information released

:10:52. > :10:59.under a Freedom of Information request, but other

:11:00. > :11:02.documents remain secret. Hess was convicted of war crimes

:11:03. > :11:05.at Nuremberg and spent the rest The Duke of Hamilton

:11:06. > :11:08.described his meeting with a Nazi as a four-day wonder,

:11:09. > :11:27.but the mystery surrounding it has After a glorious day, let's get the

:11:28. > :11:34.weather. Glorious for most of the country, in fact, the warmest day of
