:00:08. > :00:11.The chancellor George Osborne is warning that leaving the EU
:00:12. > :00:14.would wipe out tens of thousands of Scottish jobs.
:00:15. > :00:17.Rivals say his numbers are made up to scare people into voting Remain
:00:18. > :00:32.Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.
:00:33. > :00:37.And there is plenty of hard work ahead for the Chancellor has this
:00:38. > :00:45.referendum campaign enters its final fortnight. Visiting a farm in the
:00:46. > :00:50.Borders, George Osborne once you to feel more than a little nervous
:00:51. > :00:56.about the impact if the UK votes to leave the youth. Here in Scotland
:00:57. > :00:59.alone, 43,000 jobs could be at risk. People should be scared of the
:01:00. > :01:04.consequences of leaving the European Union because it will hit incomes,
:01:05. > :01:11.cost jobs, damage pensions, and cause house prices to fall. In
:01:12. > :01:16.Glasgow, the official Leave campaign accused the Chancellor of making up
:01:17. > :01:22.scary numbers. These are just fairy tale figures. It has no credibility
:01:23. > :01:26.whatsoever. And people are getting sick of this kind of thing. Stop
:01:27. > :01:32.giving us numbers, start explaining how within the EU we can have the
:01:33. > :01:37.reforms we need. The Chancellor's forecasts are based on analysis by
:01:38. > :01:41.the Treasury, the same Treasury that predicted dire economic consequences
:01:42. > :01:44.if Scotland for independence. And it is for that reason that what he is
:01:45. > :01:50.saying today is not easily endorsed by the SNP. But this SNP Stallworth
:01:51. > :01:54.believes the UK would prosper outside the EU because it would be
:01:55. > :02:02.in the interests of both to keep trading freely. Tonight, Mr Sellers
:02:03. > :02:06.spoke in Glasgow in support of the Scottish left leave campaign.
:02:07. > :02:09.Nearby, two former Labour leaders made the case for a Remain thought.
:02:10. > :02:12.The economy and immigration have once again dominated an ITV
:02:13. > :02:14.televised debate on whether the UK should quit the European Union,
:02:15. > :02:20.The panel included the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon,
:02:21. > :02:23.on the Remain side, and the former mayor of London, Boris

:02:30. > :02:36.Nicola Sturgeon's support for remaining within the US is well
:02:37. > :02:39.known within Scotland and well documented. But tonight in this
:02:40. > :02:45.debate she have the chance to put her arguments to the UK audience.
:02:46. > :02:50.She said she wanted to make what she called a positive case for remaining
:02:51. > :02:55.within the U. She said the EU gave Scotland and the UK a market of more
:02:56. > :02:59.than half a billion people which is vital for trade and growing trade.
:03:00. > :03:04.She said it protected workers' writes and helped the environment.
:03:05. > :03:07.She said it protected workers' As expected, she clashed frequently
:03:08. > :03:12.with the Conservative and senior Leave campaign Boris Johnson. It is
:03:13. > :03:19.perfectly true unviable, there are slightly more than ?350 million a
:03:20. > :03:26.week that we do not control. You're not actually perpetuating this mess,
:03:27. > :03:37.argue? Perpetuating this mess, argue? -- this mess. It is rich to
:03:38. > :03:44.you have a man saying we should charge to use the NHS pretending to
:03:45. > :03:48.be the defender. I'm staggered that Boris Johnson is still defending
:03:49. > :03:52.this ?350 million a week figure, it is a scandal that are still
:03:53. > :03:56.emblazoned across the campaign bus, because it is an absolute whopper.
:03:57. > :04:02.The House of Commons select committee says so. Everybody knows
:04:03. > :04:03.so. Tonight's debate comes on the day that two former prime ministers
:04:04. > :04:07.so. Tonight's debate comes on the have entered the debate saying that
:04:08. > :04:12.leaving the EU could cause serious problems and risks putting up the
:04:13. > :04:14.United Kingdom. Sir John Major and Tony Blair joined forces in Northern
:04:15. > :04:18.Ireland where they warned that the peace process could be put in
:04:19. > :04:23.jeopardy, but they also said that a vote for Brexit could bring about a
:04:24. > :04:28.second referendum vote on independence in Scotland. John Major
:04:29. > :04:32.said the unity of the outer kingdom was in effect on the power paper in
:04:33. > :04:34.a fortnight. The League side have said that as irresponsible and
:04:35. > :04:36.untrue. Lawyers representing families
:04:37. > :04:38.of some of the victims of the Glasgow bin lorry crash
:04:39. > :04:41.will find out in the autumn if they can proceed
:04:42. > :04:43.with a private prosecution. Six people died and 15 were injured,
:04:44. > :04:46.when driver Harry Clarke lost control of the lorry,
:04:47. > :04:48.after blacking out at No criminal prosecution
:04:49. > :04:53.was brought against him. Today the Court of Session
:04:54. > :04:55.in Edinburgh said a decision on whether a private prosecution
:04:56. > :04:58.could go ahead would be made But new figures show a drop
:04:59. > :05:14.in the number of 18-year-olds from Scotland's poorest
:05:15. > :05:16.communities who're going. The government says
:05:17. > :05:17.this is concerning. Their opponents say
:05:18. > :05:27.the government is to blame. Helping more youngsters overcome
:05:28. > :05:31.disadvantage and go to university has been the of many politicians for
:05:32. > :05:35.decades, but for the current Scottish Government it is a top
:05:36. > :05:38.priority. So the latest figures are both a disappointment for the SNP
:05:39. > :05:43.had an opportunity for their opponents. There is evidence that
:05:44. > :05:44.because of the statistics there are fewer students from poorer
:05:45. > :05:49.backgrounds applying to university, fewer students from poorer
:05:50. > :05:52.and fewer of those genes being accepted at university, and even if
:05:53. > :05:56.they get in the more likely to drop out. The number of 18-year-olds from
:05:57. > :06:05.disadvantaged areas who got to university fell last year, down 90
:06:06. > :06:11.on 2014. The number applying last year also got. We have seen an
:06:12. > :06:15.improvement on the number of 18-year-olds applying to university,
:06:16. > :06:19.getting to university since 2010, but obviously the Pipe has been a
:06:20. > :06:25.decline in the last year is a matter of concern. I think it is part of an
:06:26. > :06:29.overall approach we have to take to improve and strengthen attainment
:06:30. > :06:33.within our education system. The figures for 18-year-olds only tell
:06:34. > :06:37.part of the story. Last year the number of new undergraduates of all
:06:38. > :06:43.ages from disadvantaged areas still went up. The rule colleges play may
:06:44. > :06:49.help explain this. Many universities have been working hard to widen
:06:50. > :06:53.their appeal. Events like this one are reaching out to young children
:06:54. > :06:57.in poor areas may be the students of the future. When you see a release
:06:58. > :07:01.strong trend of improvement in people from the most challenging
:07:02. > :07:05.backgrounds going to university, obviously if you see a blip in that
:07:06. > :07:07.kind you want to look at it. One set of disappointing figures in
:07:08. > :07:12.isolation is not evidence that things are going wrong way, but this
:07:13. > :07:16.is certainly a reminder of the very big challenge.
:07:17. > :07:18.The family of a Scots Commonwealth Games medallist,
:07:19. > :07:21.who's been in a coma for a month, say she's making huge progress.
:07:22. > :07:24.Stephanie Inglis was given a 1% chance of survival,
:07:25. > :07:28.after suffering head injuries in a motorbike accident in Vietnam,
:07:29. > :07:42.but, as Andrew Black reports, she's been opening her eyes.
:07:43. > :07:49.Winning silver at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games was a proud
:07:50. > :07:51.moment for Stephanie Inglis. 27-year-old judo player from
:07:52. > :07:55.Inverness travelled to Vietnam to teach English, it was there she was
:07:56. > :07:59.injured in a motorbike accident almost a month ago. Doctors gave
:08:00. > :08:04.Stephanie a slim chance of survival, but now in hospital in Bangkok with
:08:05. > :08:09.her parents at her bedside, she has been showing signs of recovery. It
:08:10. > :08:14.has been positive for the last couple of days. We are just praying
:08:15. > :08:18.that it remains constant as in positive news coming through. We're
:08:19. > :08:21.trying not to get overly excited. My mum was speaking to her and trying
:08:22. > :08:26.to get some response from her, and she has spoken to my dad and told my
:08:27. > :08:29.dad to go and hold her hand. And I she said that she lifted her hand
:08:30. > :08:35.ever so slightly up and down as if to reach for my dad's hand, so it is
:08:36. > :08:40.really, really positive news. But things did not always live is
:08:41. > :08:42.hopeful. With our travel insurance deemed invalid and hospital bills
:08:43. > :08:46.mounting up, a childhood friend Wanstead appeal for donations which
:08:47. > :08:51.is now exceeded its original fundraising target. When we got the
:08:52. > :08:55.campaign up and running and posted it out there, the whole judo
:08:56. > :08:58.community gathered together, and her friends, people she went to school
:08:59. > :09:03.with, they all just spread the word. It was not for them we would not be
:09:04. > :09:07.where we are now and she would not get the care she is receiving. It is
:09:08. > :09:14.thanks everybody she has met in her sport and in her childhood that she
:09:15. > :09:17.has a chance of life again. Stephanie's family hope to have home
:09:18. > :09:21.as soon as they can. They know there is a long road to recovery, but says
:09:22. > :09:25.she is a fighter in every sense of the word.
:09:26. > :09:28.Neil Lennon says he'll be out to change the "soft
:09:29. > :09:32.The new manager has been speaking to the media after signing a two
:09:33. > :09:36.year deal to succeed Alan Stubbs at Easter Road.
:09:37. > :09:46.A familiar face in familiar colours, but it is all change for the former
:09:47. > :09:50.Celtic boss. It is one of the biggest clubs in Scotland. I think
:09:51. > :09:53.it is probably punching below its weight in the last couple of seasons
:09:54. > :09:58.and I think the potential here is huge to get going again. This is not
:09:59. > :10:04.a short-term thing for me. And like to be your frog while affected.
:10:05. > :10:10.There are no guarantees, obviously. But I want to drive his club forward
:10:11. > :10:14.and I think it is a good fit for me. But will a man used to spending
:10:15. > :10:18.millions get the cash he wants to make that happen? We need to add
:10:19. > :10:23.players. I think we are realistic about that. Neil has been given
:10:24. > :10:26.assurances will be able to do that. There will be some priority areas he
:10:27. > :10:30.wants to identify, and we want to do that as quickly as we can.
:10:31. > :10:33.wants to identify, and we want to do retaining a Scottish cup winning
:10:34. > :10:39.squad is also on the wish list. But there is a no-nonsense message from
:10:40. > :10:42.the new manager already. They have to prove themselves. I think they
:10:43. > :10:46.have the ability and the talent and the potential. The temperament is a
:10:47. > :10:49.different thing that we need to work on, because I always feel that has
:10:50. > :10:53.been a little bit of a soft mentality with hips in the last
:10:54. > :10:59.10-15 years. And we have to change that. It is a site that a few years
:11:00. > :11:02.ago would have seemed unthinkable, but two years after leaving Celtic,
:11:03. > :11:07.Neil Lennon is back in Scottish football, and his brief is clear,
:11:08. > :11:13.get Hibs back-up and mixing it with the big boys. I get the feeling you
:11:14. > :11:15.are excited? I am! I am a 44-year-old big kid!
:11:16. > :11:20.Let s get the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow.
:11:21. > :11:27.Some sunshine around today, but we can see this big bank of cloud
:11:28. > :11:29.coming our way from the Atlantic. That is tomorrow's weather. If we
:11:30. > :11:34.coming our way from the Atlantic. look at this picture from Clydebank
:11:35. > :11:38.you can see that cloud already starting to build. Overnight cloudy,
:11:39. > :11:43.dry for many but there will be patchy epics of rain around Tayside
:11:44. > :11:47.they will still be with us tomorrow morning and on the north-east coast.
:11:48. > :11:57.For many it is cloudy start. Some mist and low cloud around
:11:58. > :12:00.temperatures mid-teens. Some brighter moments towards the
:12:01. > :12:10.north-west coast, but the best of the sunshine tomorrow best and the'
:12:11. > :12:14.in the Northern Isles. It will be a cloudy day then today with some
:12:15. > :12:19.showers developing, isolated, and not as many as we had thought
:12:20. > :12:23.earlier. Across the UK some showery outbreaks for the North of England
:12:24. > :12:28.and towards the south-west. A good part of England and Wales is dry. It
:12:29. > :12:33.will be cloudy and reasonably dry in Scotland. It averages up towards the
:12:34. > :12:38.high teens in the West. And in the evening the sherry outbreaks of rain
:12:39. > :12:44.becoming more widespread. Do the weekend, and unsettled. Weather
:12:45. > :12:50.fronts bringing cloud and outbreaks of rain. And quite geeky midfield at
:12:51. > :12:53.times. Here is the story for Saturday, a band of wet weather for
:12:54. > :12:57.central and northern parts, the brighter spell. For the North of
:12:58. > :13:02.England some cloud and sherry outbreaks of rain. The South is
:13:03. > :13:08.largely dry, some brightness coming through, but cooler than what we
:13:09. > :13:11.have seen this week. For Sunday, fairly cloudy, some sherry and
:13:12. > :13:17.breaks of rain, and by mid-afternoon we are looking at temperatures low
:13:18. > :13:18.to mid teens. The driest weather likely across the far north.
:13:19. > :13:28.From everyone on the late team here in Glasgow and around
