:01:26. > :01:28.This is needed to strengthen response to major incidents,
:01:29. > :01:36.including terrorism. The announcement was made before this
:01:37. > :01:40.afternoon's link of MP Jo Cox. Scotland has been working on
:01:41. > :01:44.increasing its armed capability since last year. Counterterrorism is
:01:45. > :01:49.a top priority. A review in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks
:01:50. > :01:53.in Paris and Brussels raised concerns about ability to respond to
:01:54. > :01:58.a major incident. It prompted an increase in numbers. Scotland is to
:01:59. > :02:03.follow suit. We need to go back to when Scotland was created. We had a
:02:04. > :02:09.model based on a lower threat level. Since that time the whole world has
:02:10. > :02:12.changed, both with terrorism and capabilities of organised crime
:02:13. > :02:13.groups working in Scotland and residing in Scotland and those
:02:14. > :02:21.travelling into the country. At the residing in Scotland and those
:02:22. > :02:27.moment 275 officers of full-time. That will increase to 365. This is
:02:28. > :02:28.only 3% of the total number of police officers.
:02:29. > :02:31.The organisation representing police officers cautiously welcomed the
:02:32. > :02:39.news. The fight against terrorism is very
:02:40. > :02:43.much born in our communities. If we have to take police officers out of
:02:44. > :02:45.our communities taking on additional duties, we can be
:02:46. > :02:50.seen to be working against ourselves of that that is why it is important
:02:51. > :02:55.that officers have the capability and the ability to be able to
:02:56. > :02:59.undertake other policing duties when they arise. The attacks in mainland
:03:00. > :03:00.Europe and Orlando cause shock and grief
:03:01. > :03:12.around the world. this was a measured response to a
:03:13. > :03:15.changing global circumstances. After the major controversy two years ago
:03:16. > :03:19.that saw armed officers attending routine incidents, some MSPs wanted
:03:20. > :03:27.reassurances. It was around the way some of the officers were
:03:28. > :03:32.deployed in communities. There was a step taken back from that. I believe
:03:33. > :03:36.the way the officers are patrolling now is acceptable to the public. It
:03:37. > :03:40.is obviously about the ability of police Scotland to respond.

:03:56. > :04:02.to respond appropriately to any terrorist incident.
:04:03. > :04:06.Our home affairs correspondent joins us now. What is the significance of
:04:07. > :04:16.this announcement? The assessment of the risk of a
:04:17. > :04:17.terrorist attack in the UK has been at
:04:18. > :04:20.its second-highest level, severe, since August of 2014. That is on
:04:21. > :04:26.this two years. In that time, the number of
:04:27. > :04:31.dedicated firearms response officers in Scotland has remained static at
:04:32. > :04:33.that figure of 275. Think what has happened in that
:04:34. > :04:38.time we have had Paris, Brussels and Orlando. Who knows? We might even be
:04:39. > :04:39.looking at a terrorist Jo Cox and her murder. We do not
:04:40. > :04:46.know whether it is a terrorist act but it
:04:47. > :04:51.is an act of brutality involving firearms. Police
:04:52. > :04:57.Scotland say there is not the specific threat to Scotland
:04:58. > :05:02.at this time that they have to be in a state of readiness. But severe
:05:03. > :05:09.level of threat identified by the security services suggests that an
:05:10. > :05:14.attack is imminent. We do not know where it would come from but it is
:05:15. > :05:18.comforting to note however that the number of police carrying arms on
:05:19. > :05:22.our streets would be fewer than 3% of the total police strength and
:05:23. > :05:23.they would not be deployed to routine incidents while they are

:06:29. > :06:30.Kezia Dugdale says she knew Jo Cox, as she'd been chair
:06:31. > :06:47.of the Labour Women's network Deeply, deeply sad. Jo Cox is a
:06:48. > :06:52.41-year-old woman with a young family. She has devoted her life to
:06:53. > :06:56.public service, not just here in the UK but around the world. She went to
:06:57. > :07:01.work to do her job today, representing her constituents in a
:07:02. > :07:03.library, and she has faced a Byland act that has taken her life away. We
:07:04. > :07:07.are devastated. Earlier though, the First Minister
:07:08. > :07:16.confirmed that the Scottish Government is preparing contingency
:07:17. > :07:18.plans, in case Britain votes to leave the European Union
:07:19. > :07:20.in the referendum next week. Nicola Sturgeon told MSPs
:07:21. > :07:22.it was sensible to prepare for every eventuality,
:07:23. > :07:24.and THAT included the prospect of a second Scottish
:07:25. > :07:26.independence referendum. Miss Sturgeon insisted that Scotland
:07:27. > :07:39.benefits from membership of the EU. There are right now in Scotland more
:07:40. > :07:43.than 300,000 jobs that are associated directly or indirectly
:07:44. > :07:49.with Scotland's access to the single market. In addition, more than 40%

:08:04. > :08:09.the unfettered free movement of people will deeply damage the
:08:10. > :08:14.economy and our public services. To point out, as the fifth largest
:08:15. > :08:20.economy in the world, and the talented and innovative people, the
:08:21. > :08:24.UK is more than capable of surviving outside the EU.
:08:25. > :08:26.To the capital now and our political editor Brian Taylor.
:08:27. > :08:28.And Brian, there was a row over those exchanges
:08:29. > :08:32.during First Minister's Questions at lunchtime?
:08:33. > :08:39.There was. We should stress again that these exchanges, the comments,
:08:40. > :08:43.the back and forth arguments took place before the shooting of Jo Cox.
:08:44. > :08:46.The First Minister has issued a statement expressing her view these
:08:47. > :08:52.are utterly shocking and tragic events. That view is shared across
:08:53. > :08:56.all of the political parties at Holyrood and Westminster. With
:08:57. > :09:02.regard to the controversy, strictly speaking a public money and
:09:03. > :09:06.resources are not to be spent on campaigning one way or the other.
:09:07. > :09:12.Kezia Dugdale push the boat out and asked the question about the current
:09:13. > :09:17.state of Scotland relations with the European Union. It was said it was
:09:18. > :09:19.advantageous to Scotland. Both are careful not to mention the
:09:20. > :09:23.advantageous to Scotland. Both are referendum and the specific
:09:24. > :09:26.question. It was ruled in order by the presiding officer, Ken
:09:27. > :09:34.Macintosh. That is why Margaret Mitchell got up to make her point.
:09:35. > :09:36.She was protesting against that. How serious are those contingency plans
:09:37. > :09:43.that the Scottish Government mentioned? It is a big call, a big
:09:44. > :09:47.decision. If Britain leads the European Union there will be years
:09:48. > :09:50.of negotiations. The European government and the devolved
:09:51. > :09:55.government would have to prepare for that. Nicola Sturgeon simply
:09:56. > :09:57.confirming common-sense that Scottish Government civil servants,
:09:58. > :10:00.as indeed their counterparts in Whitehall would be doing, are
:10:01. > :10:05.preparing for the contingency, looking at prospects. She said every
:10:06. > :10:11.eventuality would be considered. I looking at prospects. She said every
:10:12. > :10:15.asked an adviser later whether that included an independence referendum.
:10:16. > :10:20.The reply was, you bet. Do I think that means the referendum is
:10:21. > :10:25.guaranteed in the event of British exit? I do not. I think it is
:10:26. > :10:28.significant that she chose to stress every eventuality and it was
:10:29. > :10:31.stressed later on her behalf that it did include the prospect of a second
:10:32. > :10:34.independence referendum. As I mentioned, all campaigning

:11:14. > :11:22.after EU campaign events across the UK were suspended.
:11:23. > :11:25.As we've been hearing that came after the shooting of the Labour MP

:11:29. > :11:30.five largest parties - the SNP, Conservatives,
:11:31. > :11:32.Labour, Greens and the Liberal Democrats - shared a platform
:11:33. > :11:51.at a rally in Edinburgh. Nick Clegg is among the speakers. He
:11:52. > :11:56.said, the attack on Jo Cox was an attack on democracy in the UK. We
:11:57. > :12:00.have heard in the last few minutes that the Remain campaign will not
:12:01. > :12:06.hold any further campaign events tomorrow. I would be very surprised

:13:08. > :13:11.biggest export, food and drink. W, seafood, lamb and cheese for the
:13:12. > :13:17.three of the top five destinations are in the European Union. A single
:13:18. > :13:22.open European market means goods, services and people can cross
:13:23. > :13:28.boundaries with limited hassles and costs. That makes it easier for us
:13:29. > :13:34.to buy German cars. The free trade ought to benefit everyone, each
:13:35. > :13:38.country should be better off. The openers to low-cost competition can
:13:39. > :13:43.be painful. If Britain votes to come out of the European Union open

:14:07. > :14:10.businesses within the textiles industry. We do not want to make it
:14:11. > :14:19.more difficult for ourselves if we can help it. We would rather stay
:14:20. > :14:26.in. Up the Tweed Valley, at Valentines, the boss does not think

:14:37. > :14:40.to trade through middlemen, distributors, wholesalers, has
:14:41. > :14:46.disappeared. We can now trade as a small company right around the
:14:47. > :14:49.globe. It seems to fit really big companies, multinationals, people
:14:50. > :14:53.with lobby groups push hard and speak to Brussels directly. For
:14:54. > :14:59.little guys like us, they seem increasingly irrelevant. In and out

:18:28. > :18:31.Murray had not faced a compatriot in a decade. After switching from
:18:32. > :18:34.Slovenia, could Aljaz Bedene boost his British profile? If the first
:18:35. > :18:40.point was any indication, there would be no upsets today. But Bedene
:18:41. > :18:48.could soon be a top 50 player. It is not hard to see why. Some things,
:18:49. > :18:54.however, were hard to see. UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately
:18:55. > :18:57.we can't show you the image of the big screen. If the technology wasn't
:18:58. > :19:04.working smoothly, Andy Murray's plan was. A single break of serve secured
:19:05. > :19:08.the set 6-3. Breaks of serve were swapped in a scrappy second set, but
:19:09. > :19:12.the Scot was simply too strong. It wasn't vintage, but victory was his
:19:13. > :19:16.in under 90 minutes, and he will have another Battle of Britain
:19:17. > :19:20.tomorrow. I am happy there are more Brits around in the big events now.
:19:21. > :19:25.I actually had a feeling I was going to play one here when I spoke to my
:19:26. > :19:30.team, I said I thought I would play one, so it was good. Not just one

:20:34. > :20:37.improve on is my defence. Richard Freeman is a journalist, who has
:20:38. > :20:43.been covering rugby here in Japan for 20 years. I think it is a huge
:20:44. > :20:46.game, despite the problems off the field, there is talk about revenge
:20:47. > :20:50.from the World Cup, and just keep that interest going. It is very
:20:51. > :20:56.important Japan put in two good performances. The last time Scotland

:21:55. > :21:58.heading to the Olympics in Rio? In recent Olympics, Scots have been
:21:59. > :22:05.fairly well represented in the British judo team. For years on, in

:22:11. > :22:16.among the 13 Commonwealth Games medallist in Glasgow. COMMENTATOR:
:22:17. > :22:21.That was superb and he wins the gold medal! Suggesting all was well
:22:22. > :22:27.within Scottish judo. Just two years on, can the same be said? The health
:22:28. > :22:33.of judo in Scotland is growing and growing. A lot of silver medallists
:22:34. > :22:39.in Glasgow have since retired. There was very much an awareness, and in
:22:40. > :22:45.Glasgow, that we had an old team. We have a funeral young Scots training.
:22:46. > :22:49.We would fully expect some of them and some of the guys training to be
:22:50. > :22:54.in and around the mix for the Tokyo cycle, when we come to that, in four
:22:55. > :22:59.years' time. So only one Scot at the Olympics in Rio, but the message is
:23:00. > :23:04.clear: no need to panic. And that is me finished.
:23:05. > :23:06.The actor Angus MacFadyen has long harboured a desire to play
:23:07. > :23:15.A 30 foot stretch limo, to be precise.
:23:16. > :23:18.Now with a little help from his friends, and American
:23:19. > :23:19.film students, he's made Macbeth Unhinged -
:23:20. > :23:22.which will be premiered tonight, at the Edinburgh
:23:23. > :23:32.Our arts correspondent Pauline Mclean reports.
:23:33. > :23:42.Many different actors have reinvented Macbeth over the years,
:23:43. > :23:49.but this one sees the scheming king in a car, rather than a castle. Out,
:23:50. > :23:53.out, brief candle. On my budget, I would have had to have built a
:23:54. > :24:02.castle made out of cardboard and painted those stones. So I figured I
:24:03. > :24:06.would do the next best thing. I found a stretched limousines are
:24:07. > :24:13.$5,000, I bought that and set the whole thing inside that. For Scots
:24:14. > :24:25.actor, Angus McFadyen, filmed during I have done a fair amount of
:24:26. > :24:29.Shakespeare in my career. Actually Angus stars as for stuff in a
:24:30. > :24:37.production of mine called H four, which will be the fourth parts, one
:24:38. > :24:40.and two. He plays., -- he plays how staff, I play Henry.
:24:41. > :24:48.Film students also gave their help for free in exchange for training on
:24:49. > :24:54.a real film set. A far cry from Angus's own experience as a student.
:24:55. > :24:57.We got one day in the third year where we showed up with a video
:24:58. > :25:04.camera and we got 15 minutes each, where they taught us how to be an
:25:05. > :25:09.actor on film. I remember wishing, I would have killed to have had the
:25:10. > :25:17.experience which these students were able to have. Of actually working
:25:18. > :25:22.with professional actors, and of course the real cameras and all of
:25:23. > :25:26.this stuff. Just like Macbeth, Angus is back on home turf of the film's
:25:27. > :25:29.European premiere at the Edinburgh International film Festival tonight.
:25:30. > :25:31.Now just before the weather forecast, here's Shelley,
:25:32. > :25:43.Tonight, EU campaigning is suspended, and tributes pour in for
:25:44. > :25:49.Labour MP Jo Cox, who died earlier today after an attack near her
:25:50. > :25:54.constituency office. Join me for reaction and analysis of the day's
:25:55. > :25:56.other news over on BBC Two at a past ten.
:25:57. > :26:00.The forecast now - with Christopher.
:26:01. > :26:07.Another disappointing day of whether for many of us. Tonight, the cloud
:26:08. > :26:12.continues, as does the rain for some. Here is the satellite feature,
:26:13. > :26:15.a sheet of cloud covering the country, also quite windy around
:26:16. > :26:19.north and north-western coasts. Low pressure to the south of us, around
:26:20. > :26:23.its northern flank, dragging in those fresh, occasionally strong
:26:24. > :26:27.north, north-easterly winds. Through the course of the evening, staying
:26:28. > :26:32.cloudy, most of the persistent rain confined to areas to the north and
:26:33. > :26:40.north-east of the country, Grampian. Perhaps one or two further outbreaks
:26:41. > :26:44.of rain further south. Some mist and Merck around North Sea coasts.
:26:45. > :26:48.Tomorrow, that wet weather in the East still with us, down towards the
:26:49. > :26:50.Borders. Further west, reasonably dry, and some brightness coming
:26:51. > :27:01.through around the south-west. Further east, the cloud is thicker,
:27:02. > :27:06.and the rain with us, particularly through the borders in towards the
:27:07. > :27:10.capital. And the north-east through Aberdeenshire and Angus. The
:27:11. > :27:13.north-west hopefully for the Western Isles, some sunshine, still quite
:27:14. > :27:16.windy once again with that north-easterly continuing to blow.
:27:17. > :27:20.As we head through the rest of the afternoon into the evening, the wet
:27:21. > :27:23.weather finally clears off, good news for the weekend, if you are
:27:24. > :27:29.hoping for something a good bit try and brighter. The culprit,
:27:30. > :27:34.high-pressure, keeping this weather front at bay and keeping us try and
:27:35. > :27:37.settled. Saturday looks set fair. Some dry weather, some sunshine
:27:38. > :27:41.coming through at times, and the wind is still from the north but
:27:42. > :27:47.lighter, so temperatures around 16 to 18 degrees for central and
:27:48. > :27:50.southern parts. We were hoping the two full dry days but Sunday means
:27:51. > :27:53.we could see some spots of rain in the West will stop the best of the
:27:54. > :27:56.sunshine will be in the east, thankfully after what has been a
:27:57. > :27:57.dismal few days around the north coast.
:27:58. > :28:00.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news...
:28:01. > :28:03.The Labour MP Jo Cox has died after being attacked by a man
:28:04. > :28:09.EU referendum campaigning has suspended throughout the UK,
:28:10. > :28:23.I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm, and the late bulletin just
:28:24. > :28:24.Until then, from everyone on the team, right
