Here on BBC ONE it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:07.

The chancellor George Osborne is warning that leaving the EU

:00:08.:00:11.

would wipe out tens of thousands of Scottish jobs.

:00:12.:00:14.

Rivals say his numbers are made up to scare people into voting Remain

:00:15.:00:17.

Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

:00:18.:00:32.

And there is plenty of hard work ahead for the Chancellor has this

:00:33.:00:37.

referendum campaign enters its final fortnight. Visiting a farm in the

:00:38.:00:45.

Borders, George Osborne once you to feel more than a little nervous

:00:46.:00:50.

about the impact if the UK votes to leave the youth. Here in Scotland

:00:51.:00:56.

alone, 43,000 jobs could be at risk. People should be scared of the

:00:57.:00:59.

consequences of leaving the European Union because it will hit incomes,

:01:00.:01:04.

cost jobs, damage pensions, and cause house prices to fall. In

:01:05.:01:11.

Glasgow, the official Leave campaign accused the Chancellor of making up

:01:12.:01:16.

scary numbers. These are just fairy tale figures. It has no credibility

:01:17.:01:22.

whatsoever. And people are getting sick of this kind of thing. Stop

:01:23.:01:26.

giving us numbers, start explaining how within the EU we can have the

:01:27.:01:32.

reforms we need. The Chancellor's forecasts are based on analysis by

:01:33.:01:37.

the Treasury, the same Treasury that predicted dire economic consequences

:01:38.:01:41.

if Scotland for independence. And it is for that reason that what he is

:01:42.:01:44.

saying today is not easily endorsed by the SNP. But this SNP Stallworth

:01:45.:01:50.

believes the UK would prosper outside the EU because it would be

:01:51.:01:54.

in the interests of both to keep trading freely. Tonight, Mr Sellers

:01:55.:02:02.

spoke in Glasgow in support of the Scottish left leave campaign.

:02:03.:02:06.

Nearby, two former Labour leaders made the case for a Remain thought.

:02:07.:02:09.

The economy and immigration have once again dominated an ITV

:02:10.:02:12.

televised debate on whether the UK should quit the European Union,

:02:13.:02:14.

The panel included the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon,

:02:15.:02:20.

on the Remain side, and the former mayor of London, Boris

:02:21.:02:23.

Our Political Correspondent watched the proceedings.

:02:24.:02:29.

Nicola Sturgeon's support for remaining within the US is well

:02:30.:02:36.

known within Scotland and well documented. But tonight in this

:02:37.:02:39.

debate she have the chance to put her arguments to the UK audience.

:02:40.:02:45.

She said she wanted to make what she called a positive case for remaining

:02:46.:02:50.

within the U. She said the EU gave Scotland and the UK a market of more

:02:51.:02:55.

than half a billion people which is vital for trade and growing trade.

:02:56.:02:59.

She said it protected workers' writes and helped the environment.

:03:00.:03:04.

She said it protected workers' As expected, she clashed frequently

:03:05.:03:07.

with the Conservative and senior Leave campaign Boris Johnson. It is

:03:08.:03:12.

perfectly true unviable, there are slightly more than ?350 million a

:03:13.:03:19.

week that we do not control. You're not actually perpetuating this mess,

:03:20.:03:26.

argue? Perpetuating this mess, argue? -- this mess. It is rich to

:03:27.:03:37.

you have a man saying we should charge to use the NHS pretending to

:03:38.:03:44.

be the defender. I'm staggered that Boris Johnson is still defending

:03:45.:03:48.

this ?350 million a week figure, it is a scandal that are still

:03:49.:03:52.

emblazoned across the campaign bus, because it is an absolute whopper.

:03:53.:03:56.

The House of Commons select committee says so. Everybody knows

:03:57.:04:02.

so. Tonight's debate comes on the day that two former prime ministers

:04:03.:04:03.

so. Tonight's debate comes on the have entered the debate saying that

:04:04.:04:07.

leaving the EU could cause serious problems and risks putting up the

:04:08.:04:12.

United Kingdom. Sir John Major and Tony Blair joined forces in Northern

:04:13.:04:14.

Ireland where they warned that the peace process could be put in

:04:15.:04:18.

jeopardy, but they also said that a vote for Brexit could bring about a

:04:19.:04:23.

second referendum vote on independence in Scotland. John Major

:04:24.:04:28.

said the unity of the outer kingdom was in effect on the power paper in

:04:29.:04:32.

a fortnight. The League side have said that as irresponsible and

:04:33.:04:34.

untrue. Lawyers representing families

:04:35.:04:36.

of some of the victims of the Glasgow bin lorry crash

:04:37.:04:38.

will find out in the autumn if they can proceed

:04:39.:04:41.

with a private prosecution. Six people died and 15 were injured,

:04:42.:04:43.

when driver Harry Clarke lost control of the lorry,

:04:44.:04:46.

after blacking out at No criminal prosecution

:04:47.:04:48.

was brought against him. Today the Court of Session

:04:49.:04:53.

in Edinburgh said a decision on whether a private prosecution

:04:54.:04:55.

could go ahead would be made But new figures show a drop

:04:56.:04:58.

in the number of 18-year-olds from Scotland's poorest

:04:59.:05:14.

communities who're going. The government says

:05:15.:05:16.

this is concerning. Their opponents say

:05:17.:05:17.

the government is to blame. Helping more youngsters overcome

:05:18.:05:27.

disadvantage and go to university has been the of many politicians for

:05:28.:05:31.

decades, but for the current Scottish Government it is a top

:05:32.:05:35.

priority. So the latest figures are both a disappointment for the SNP

:05:36.:05:38.

had an opportunity for their opponents. There is evidence that

:05:39.:05:43.

because of the statistics there are fewer students from poorer

:05:44.:05:44.

backgrounds applying to university, fewer students from poorer

:05:45.:05:49.

and fewer of those genes being accepted at university, and even if

:05:50.:05:52.

they get in the more likely to drop out. The number of 18-year-olds from

:05:53.:05:56.

disadvantaged areas who got to university fell last year, down 90

:05:57.:06:05.

on 2014. The number applying last year also got. We have seen an

:06:06.:06:11.

improvement on the number of 18-year-olds applying to university,

:06:12.:06:15.

getting to university since 2010, but obviously the Pipe has been a

:06:16.:06:19.

decline in the last year is a matter of concern. I think it is part of an

:06:20.:06:25.

overall approach we have to take to improve and strengthen attainment

:06:26.:06:29.

within our education system. The figures for 18-year-olds only tell

:06:30.:06:33.

part of the story. Last year the number of new undergraduates of all

:06:34.:06:37.

ages from disadvantaged areas still went up. The rule colleges play may

:06:38.:06:43.

help explain this. Many universities have been working hard to widen

:06:44.:06:49.

their appeal. Events like this one are reaching out to young children

:06:50.:06:53.

in poor areas may be the students of the future. When you see a release

:06:54.:06:57.

strong trend of improvement in people from the most challenging

:06:58.:07:01.

backgrounds going to university, obviously if you see a blip in that

:07:02.:07:05.

kind you want to look at it. One set of disappointing figures in

:07:06.:07:07.

isolation is not evidence that things are going wrong way, but this

:07:08.:07:12.

is certainly a reminder of the very big challenge.

:07:13.:07:16.

The family of a Scots Commonwealth Games medallist,

:07:17.:07:18.

who's been in a coma for a month, say she's making huge progress.

:07:19.:07:21.

Stephanie Inglis was given a 1% chance of survival,

:07:22.:07:24.

after suffering head injuries in a motorbike accident in Vietnam,

:07:25.:07:28.

but, as Andrew Black reports, she's been opening her eyes.

:07:29.:07:42.

Winning silver at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games was a proud

:07:43.:07:49.

moment for Stephanie Inglis. 27-year-old judo player from

:07:50.:07:51.

Inverness travelled to Vietnam to teach English, it was there she was

:07:52.:07:55.

injured in a motorbike accident almost a month ago. Doctors gave

:07:56.:07:59.

Stephanie a slim chance of survival, but now in hospital in Bangkok with

:08:00.:08:04.

her parents at her bedside, she has been showing signs of recovery. It

:08:05.:08:09.

has been positive for the last couple of days. We are just praying

:08:10.:08:14.

that it remains constant as in positive news coming through. We're

:08:15.:08:18.

trying not to get overly excited. My mum was speaking to her and trying

:08:19.:08:21.

to get some response from her, and she has spoken to my dad and told my

:08:22.:08:26.

dad to go and hold her hand. And I she said that she lifted her hand

:08:27.:08:29.

ever so slightly up and down as if to reach for my dad's hand, so it is

:08:30.:08:35.

really, really positive news. But things did not always live is

:08:36.:08:40.

hopeful. With our travel insurance deemed invalid and hospital bills

:08:41.:08:42.

mounting up, a childhood friend Wanstead appeal for donations which

:08:43.:08:46.

is now exceeded its original fundraising target. When we got the

:08:47.:08:51.

campaign up and running and posted it out there, the whole judo

:08:52.:08:55.

community gathered together, and her friends, people she went to school

:08:56.:08:58.

with, they all just spread the word. It was not for them we would not be

:08:59.:09:03.

where we are now and she would not get the care she is receiving. It is

:09:04.:09:07.

thanks everybody she has met in her sport and in her childhood that she

:09:08.:09:14.

has a chance of life again. Stephanie's family hope to have home

:09:15.:09:17.

as soon as they can. They know there is a long road to recovery, but says

:09:18.:09:21.

she is a fighter in every sense of the word.

:09:22.:09:25.

Neil Lennon says he'll be out to change the "soft

:09:26.:09:28.

The new manager has been speaking to the media after signing a two

:09:29.:09:32.

year deal to succeed Alan Stubbs at Easter Road.

:09:33.:09:36.

A familiar face in familiar colours, but it is all change for the former

:09:37.:09:46.

Celtic boss. It is one of the biggest clubs in Scotland. I think

:09:47.:09:50.

it is probably punching below its weight in the last couple of seasons

:09:51.:09:53.

and I think the potential here is huge to get going again. This is not

:09:54.:09:58.

a short-term thing for me. And like to be your frog while affected.

:09:59.:10:04.

There are no guarantees, obviously. But I want to drive his club forward

:10:05.:10:10.

and I think it is a good fit for me. But will a man used to spending

:10:11.:10:14.

millions get the cash he wants to make that happen? We need to add

:10:15.:10:18.

players. I think we are realistic about that. Neil has been given

:10:19.:10:23.

assurances will be able to do that. There will be some priority areas he

:10:24.:10:26.

wants to identify, and we want to do that as quickly as we can.

:10:27.:10:30.

wants to identify, and we want to do retaining a Scottish cup winning

:10:31.:10:33.

squad is also on the wish list. But there is a no-nonsense message from

:10:34.:10:39.

the new manager already. They have to prove themselves. I think they

:10:40.:10:42.

have the ability and the talent and the potential. The temperament is a

:10:43.:10:46.

different thing that we need to work on, because I always feel that has

:10:47.:10:49.

been a little bit of a soft mentality with hips in the last

:10:50.:10:53.

10-15 years. And we have to change that. It is a site that a few years

:10:54.:10:59.

ago would have seemed unthinkable, but two years after leaving Celtic,

:11:00.:11:02.

Neil Lennon is back in Scottish football, and his brief is clear,

:11:03.:11:07.

get Hibs back-up and mixing it with the big boys. I get the feeling you

:11:08.:11:13.

are excited? I am! I am a 44-year-old big kid!

:11:14.:11:15.

Let s get the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow.

:11:16.:11:20.

Some sunshine around today, but we can see this big bank of cloud

:11:21.:11:27.

coming our way from the Atlantic. That is tomorrow's weather. If we

:11:28.:11:29.

coming our way from the Atlantic. look at this picture from Clydebank

:11:30.:11:34.

you can see that cloud already starting to build. Overnight cloudy,

:11:35.:11:38.

dry for many but there will be patchy epics of rain around Tayside

:11:39.:11:43.

they will still be with us tomorrow morning and on the north-east coast.

:11:44.:11:47.

For many it is cloudy start. Some mist and low cloud around

:11:48.:11:57.

temperatures mid-teens. Some brighter moments towards the

:11:58.:12:00.

north-west coast, but the best of the sunshine tomorrow best and the'

:12:01.:12:10.

in the Northern Isles. It will be a cloudy day then today with some

:12:11.:12:14.

showers developing, isolated, and not as many as we had thought

:12:15.:12:19.

earlier. Across the UK some showery outbreaks for the North of England

:12:20.:12:23.

and towards the south-west. A good part of England and Wales is dry. It

:12:24.:12:28.

will be cloudy and reasonably dry in Scotland. It averages up towards the

:12:29.:12:33.

high teens in the West. And in the evening the sherry outbreaks of rain

:12:34.:12:38.

becoming more widespread. Do the weekend, and unsettled. Weather

:12:39.:12:44.

fronts bringing cloud and outbreaks of rain. And quite geeky midfield at

:12:45.:12:50.

times. Here is the story for Saturday, a band of wet weather for

:12:51.:12:53.

central and northern parts, the brighter spell. For the North of

:12:54.:12:57.

England some cloud and sherry outbreaks of rain. The South is

:12:58.:13:02.

largely dry, some brightness coming through, but cooler than what we

:13:03.:13:08.

have seen this week. For Sunday, fairly cloudy, some sherry and

:13:09.:13:11.

breaks of rain, and by mid-afternoon we are looking at temperatures low

:13:12.:13:17.

to mid teens. The driest weather likely across the far north.

:13:18.:13:18.

From everyone on the late team here in Glasgow and around
