:00:47. > :00:53.Like all political leaders, Nicola Sturgeon is now

:01:01. > :01:06.She is certain of one thing is, the Tories are to blame.
:01:07. > :01:08.The Conservatives have recklessly brought this country
:01:09. > :01:14.I will continue to do the job I was elected for and that is to

:01:20. > :01:27.Ruth Davidson regretted Brexit but said it was a mistake
:01:28. > :01:29.to contemplate independence as a response.
:01:30. > :01:32.Our exports to the EU are worth ?11.6 billion but our exports
:01:33. > :01:40.The UK single market is four times more important to us
:01:41. > :01:44.The Labour leader warned of economic decline.
:01:45. > :01:47.The economic experts are clear, we must prepare for the worst
:01:48. > :01:52.and that means more job losses and further austerity.
:01:53. > :01:57.The First Minister said she was seeking to keep Scotland
:01:58. > :02:03.in the EU and would look at all options, adding...
:02:04. > :02:05.My starting point in these discussions is not independence
:02:06. > :02:13.She sought to silent ironic Conservative laughter by arguing
:02:14. > :02:15.that those who backed the UK in the referendum had
:02:16. > :02:17.now ended up putting EU links in jeopardy.
:02:18. > :02:23.Willie Rennie of the Liberal Democrats piled in, he regretted

:03:45. > :03:51.And if it does, during the two-year Brexit negotiation period,
:03:52. > :03:54.he is not convinced there would be enough time for Scotland to secure
:03:55. > :04:02.I find it extremely difficult to envisage that those negotiations
:04:03. > :04:05.could be conducted to bring it to a successful conclusion
:04:06. > :04:16.by the time that final breach between the UK and the EU.

:04:29. > :04:32.Membership of the EEA, the European Economic Area,
:04:33. > :04:37.is what Gordon Brown has suggested for the whole of the UK.
:04:38. > :04:40.But the First Minister, on her visit to Brussels, did not seem keen.
:04:41. > :04:45.I think the best thing is for us to stay in the EU.
:04:46. > :04:48.What you get with the Norway solution is all the obligations
:04:49. > :04:50.of EU membership, the benefits of the single market,
:04:51. > :04:53.but you don't have a seat around the table trying to
:04:54. > :04:59.Norway and Iceland are in the EEA and Iceland's top diplomat
:05:00. > :05:04.in Europe told me it works for her country.
:05:05. > :05:09.It serves us well, it gives us access to the internal market
:05:10. > :05:14.of the EU but it does not include the Common Fisheries Policy
:05:15. > :05:19.which is very important for us, the common agricultural policy,
:05:20. > :05:22.and it is not a customs union which means we can negotiate
:05:23. > :05:26.free-trade agreement with countries outside the EU.
:05:27. > :05:30.In order to get access to the single market, do you have to accept
:05:31. > :05:36.Of course we do and we think that is beneficial for us.
:05:37. > :05:40.What works for Iceland may not suit Scotland or the wider UK but Brexit
:05:41. > :06:01.opened up new horizons and new uncertainties.

:06:34. > :06:37.many of them Scottish. Cameron Buttle has been to France,
:06:38. > :06:52.to assess the role they played. The battlefront stretched for miles
:06:53. > :06:53.and miles. On the evening of June 30, 1916, this trench and hundreds
:06:54. > :06:57.of others were filling with men. Men from every part of the country,
:06:58. > :07:00.crammed together, laughing, joking, Every one of Scotland's ten
:07:01. > :07:04.infantry regiments had moved up to the front,
:07:05. > :07:06.filing in, forming up The man sending them into battle
:07:07. > :07:16.was Earl Haig, the Edinburgh born He became known as Butcher Haig
:07:17. > :07:24.a donkey leading lions. But his late son said he did
:07:25. > :07:27.what had to be done. He had to fight, and he had
:07:28. > :07:29.to suffer casualties. No one was more aware and more
:07:30. > :07:33.suffered himself from having to give the orders,
:07:34. > :07:38.but orders had to be given. For seven days, the British had
:07:39. > :07:44.pounded the German lines. In the Scottish trenches,
:07:45. > :07:47.confidence was said to be high and there were even some
:07:48. > :07:53.cheers as the men walked, not ran, but walked
:07:54. > :07:56.toward the German lines. They had received
:07:57. > :07:59.their basic training. They were well armed,
:08:00. > :08:03.well equipped and well led. Besides everything else,
:08:04. > :08:04.they were absolutely certain But the Germans and the machine guns
:08:05. > :08:13.had survived the bombardment On its walls are the names of 72,000
:08:14. > :08:20.soldiers who died during Those are just the names

:08:49. > :08:50.of a woman who went missing. Kirsty Aitchison, a mother of four,
:08:51. > :08:53.disappeared after a night out in Glasgow. Mourners were asked where
:08:54. > :08:55.bright clothing. A judge is to issue a written
:08:56. > :08:58.judgement on whether a group of independence campaigners can stay
:08:59. > :09:00.in a camp outside the Lord Turnbull heard two days
:09:01. > :09:04.of arguments about whether evicting the IndyCamp group would breach
:09:05. > :09:08.their human rights. The campaigners say they'll stay
:09:09. > :09:11.until Scotland is independent - but the Parliament officials
:09:12. > :09:14.issued a legal challenge. The judge said he wanted
:09:15. > :09:16.to marshal his thoughts Andy Murray's through to the third
:09:17. > :09:25.round at Wimbledon. The world number two dropping just
:09:26. > :09:28.six games in a straight sets win Eight years ago, the world
:09:29. > :09:32.number 76 knocked Murray But as David Currie reports, this
:09:33. > :09:37.re-match didn't produce an upset. Unlike politics, in tennis,
:09:38. > :09:41.it's clear who's for you. In Andy Murray's case most
:09:42. > :09:43.of the Centre Court crowd. And who's against you,
:09:44. > :09:48.today, Yen Hsun Lu. In this power battle,
:09:49. > :09:50.the outcome was only Yen Hsun Lu taking a 3-1
:09:51. > :10:04.lead in the opening set. Murray winning the next five games
:10:05. > :10:09.on the spin to claim it. From then on, only one
:10:10. > :10:18.outcome looked likely. The second set won for the loss
:10:19. > :10:23.of just two games. Murray 6-1 to the good in
:10:24. > :10:34.the demrincher. Murray 6-1 to the good
:10:35. > :10:36.in the clincher. If you can win matches
:10:37. > :10:41.easily, it helps. You don't take so much
:10:42. > :10:43.out of yourself. Mentally the days are not
:10:44. > :10:45.so draining. If you get quick
:10:46. > :10:48.matches, that's good. For the world number two,
:10:49. > :10:53.revenge for an Olympic defeat eight years ago and on this occasion,
:10:54. > :11:01.no coup for Lu. Football - two Scottish clubs

:11:10. > :11:28.for tonight and tomorrow. For most of us quite a cloudy
:11:29. > :11:31.evening with showers continuing in the far north and west. Some late
:11:32. > :11:37.glimmers of sunshine, this for my weather watcher in Aviemore. For
:11:38. > :11:43.most, largely cloudy and we will see more outbreaks of rain because there
:11:44. > :11:46.is a weather front pushing into the south-west, north-west of England
:11:47. > :11:51.spreading eastwards overnight tonight and by tomorrow morning only
:11:52. > :11:56.the remnants across the coast line but some showers pushing into the

:12:01. > :12:06.widespread and heavy. A closer look at 8am, some dry weather but some
:12:07. > :12:10.scattered showers. The showers mainly towards the west, the
:12:11. > :12:14.Northwest and early brightness across the North East and the
:12:15. > :12:20.remnants of the rain across Shetland with temperatures around 11 or 12.
:12:21. > :12:23.Throughout the day, showers become widespread, spreading further
:12:24. > :12:27.eastwards and there may be a rumble of thunder across Scotland, Northern
:12:28. > :12:32.Ireland and the shower was quite heavy and slow moving across the
:12:33. > :12:36.North. Elsewhere, moving through quickly with a fresh breeze.
:12:37. > :12:42.Temperatures in the mid or high teens but feeling cooler in the
:12:43. > :12:46.showers. Tomorrow evening, showers are still with us, some could be
:12:47. > :12:50.quite heavy, some late brightness. For the weekend, Saturday is a
:12:51. > :12:54.similar day, showers spreading eastwards, they could be heavy at
:12:55. > :13:01.times with rumbles of thunder but breezy on Saturday so showers moving
:13:02. > :13:07.through swiftly. Temperatures around 15 to 16 degrees. In the showers, it
:13:08. > :13:11.will feel cooler and the best of the brightness is likely further east.
:13:12. > :13:16.If we look ahead to Sunday, it will be rather cloudy for many, fewer
:13:17. > :13:22.showers, showers in the north of the country, the best of the brightness
:13:23. > :13:24.will be further towards the east and temperatures in the mid-teens.
