Tennis, and Andy Murray is through to the quarter-finals

Our reporter Kheredine Idessane is in Paris.

:00:46.:00:49.

We were warned pre-match that it would rain and sure enough, down it

:00:50.:00:56.

came so off came Andy Murray and John is. It was a shame as up until

:00:57.:01:01.

that point, it had been over an hour of cracking tennis with the Scott

:01:02.:01:04.

showing early intent but he could not break the John Isner serve. So

:01:05.:01:10.

into a first set tie-break we went with Murray forging ahead 3-1. Back

:01:11.:01:16.

came the six foot ten American who served at 6-5 but saw the set point

:01:17.:01:20.

:01:21.:01:26.

7-8 and 9-9 before Andy Murray struck again to put in the third of

:01:27.:01:32.

the way towards the quarterfinals. When the rain stopped, Andy Murray

:01:33.:01:36.

kept going, the last point properly the highlight of set two. Another

:01:37.:01:41.

straight sets victory means another place in the last eight on Tuesday.

:01:42.:01:44.

Coatbridge boxer Ricky Burns has made history by becoming Scotland's

:01:45.:01:47.

It came after he beat Italian Michele Di Rocco

:01:48.:01:53.

for the vacant WBA super-lightweight title at Glasgow's Hydro last night.

:01:54.:01:56.

ANNOUNCER: Ricky Burns! Having lost three of his previous six fights,

:01:57.:02:14.

this was a make or break match for Ricky Burns. The home crowd clearly

:02:15.:02:22.

behind him. And from the first round, he had Michele di Rocco on

:02:23.:02:27.

the back foot. By round eight, it was all over. Ricky Burns flawed

:02:28.:02:35.

Rocco leaving him unable to continue. Afterwards, the champion

:02:36.:02:40.

gave his reaction. The me, it was just another fight. I know him from

:02:41.:02:51.

when I was a young boy. When they are all winding me up, calling them

:02:52.:02:55.

better, calling at the three will titles. What is next to the new

:02:56.:03:01.

world champ? First, his summer holiday and straight onto planning

:03:02.:03:01.

the next match. A play celebrating the Dumfriesshire

minister who started the world's first savings bank has been staged

:03:05.:03:07.

in the church where he preached. Henry Duncan founded his "penny

:03:08.:03:10.

bank" in Ruthwell in 1810 to give impoverished parishioners access

:03:11.:03:13.

to savings and interest Within years, his model

:03:14.:03:16.

was adopted around the globe. Sorry to keep you waiting, Mrs

:03:17.:03:32.

Thompson, what can we give you? I am here to open an account. In

:03:33.:03:37.

19th-century rural Scotland, personal banking was beyond the

:03:38.:03:42.

means of most. Banks demanded ?10 to open an account, and imaginable

:03:43.:03:44.

savings. In Ruthwell, a country open an account, and imaginable

parish near Dumfries, Henry Duncan change that. I opened the Ruthwell

:03:51.:04:01.

bank in 1810. The cottage where he opened his savings bank has been

:04:02.:04:07.

changed into a museum. He took the money from Ruthwell and we deposited

:04:08.:04:11.

it into a commercial bank and got about 6% interest from then and he

:04:12.:04:17.

paid out between four and 5%. So all of a sudden, someone in Scotland was

:04:18.:04:20.

giving away free money and the word spread quickly. All the money is

:04:21.:04:26.

kept here in this box. Now, a play has been written, inspired by

:04:27.:04:30.

Duncan, the father of savings banks, and much more. He is one of

:04:31.:04:35.

Scotland's least known heroes, an incredible man. He was a newspaper

:04:36.:04:44.

publisher, a writer, philanthropist, artist, geologist. A fascinating man

:04:45.:04:47.

but not really well-known. I think you should be. Your savings are

:04:48.:04:51.

safe, secure and guaranteed. Let's get the weather

Eastern Scotland and the lowlands will see it tomorrow morning but

:05:43.:05:48.
