:04:28. > :04:35.Our political correspondent Lucy Adams joins me now.
:04:36. > :04:43.Why is this so important? Sounds as if it is a local health story but in
:04:44. > :04:48.fact it is a national story, because politically, this is the hospital
:04:49. > :04:52.that two previous health secretaries, Nicola Sturgeon
:04:53. > :04:57.included, promised to save. Back in 2007, Nicola Sturgeon as Health
:04:58. > :05:01.Secretary, reversed a decision from the previous Labour governments, to
:05:02. > :05:11.get rid of the accident and emergency at Monklands Hospital in
:05:12. > :05:14.Airdrie. Later, other parts of the hospital were campaign to about with
:05:15. > :05:17.regard to Alec Neill, the late Health Secretary. Now there is a
:05:18. > :05:21.decision by the health board. They say they have major staffing
:05:22. > :05:25.problems and they need to move the orthopaedic, that is not just to do
:05:26. > :05:29.with broken bones that all the muscular skeletal parts of the body,
:05:30. > :05:34.they have to move this away from Monklands. They say this does not
:05:35. > :05:39.signify a downgrade of the accident and emergency, but campaigners do
:05:40. > :05:42.not agree. The BBC has seen a letter from a number of Orthopaedic
:05:43. > :05:48.surgeons at the hospital, warning this will put patients at risk. They
:05:49. > :05:52.say moving patients around the country on stretchers is not the way
:05:53. > :06:05.to address the staffing problem. I was out earlier speaking to
:06:06. > :06:09.some of the local campaigners, including Peter Owens whose father
:06:10. > :06:11.was treated at the hospital who is very worried about what this means.
:06:12. > :06:13.To move those essential services out of the hospital essentially
:06:14. > :06:17.downgrade is off to a village hospital. It is unacceptable to the
:06:18. > :06:22.people of this area. In 2007, we fought a very good campaign to stop
:06:23. > :06:25.the downgrade, and shoulder to shoulder, we will fight that
:06:26. > :06:30.campaign again, along with members of staff who have campaigns about
:06:31. > :06:36.the downgrade. What a health board saying? The health board have said,
:06:37. > :06:41.the challenge they face is not just a staffing challenge, and following
:06:42. > :06:47.the changes they propose, 98% of patients attending A at Monklands,
:06:48. > :06:52.will continue to be seen there. 95% of trauma patients will also be seen
:06:53. > :06:55.there. They say their primary objective is patient safety. The
:06:56. > :07:01.Scottish Government have said they saved this accident and emergency
:07:02. > :07:04.department, and they are absolutely committed to A services remaining
:07:05. > :07:08.at Monklands. They say the Health Secretary has asked the board to
:07:09. > :07:10.draw up an engagement plan with staff and local residents before any
:07:11. > :07:18.long-term changes can be made. This really, broken bones, perhaps broken
:07:19. > :07:23.promises. It will come down to the semantics of that. Thank you.

:08:28. > :08:30.hot. It is nice to get a bit of sunshine. Even better if we were
:08:31. > :08:35.guaranteed it for a month or six weeks. It would be fantastic. I have
:08:36. > :08:41.been with my grandchildren in the sun, the freedom and fresh air,
:08:42. > :08:46.lovely. A bit of company. Business at this kayaking company was six
:08:47. > :08:58.times busier than normal. We have a very strong underlying business
:08:59. > :09:01.because we are located on Loch Lomond's side and we have a great
:09:02. > :09:04.outdoor environment, but when the sun shines, trade picks up and as
:09:05. > :09:06.you can see today, it is very busy indeed. This couple struck it lucky
:09:07. > :09:11.with the weather. We got engaged here a couple of years ago so it is
:09:12. > :09:15.very special which is why we are enjoying the sunny weather. When we
:09:16. > :09:18.come to Loch Lomond, it is usually very nice and it is the luck of the

:10:13. > :10:13.far. It has been hotter than Nigeria and Miami. But enjoyed it because
:10:14. > :10:15.tomorrow, the rain is back. And Kirsteen will be

:10:22. > :10:24.amid a slowdown in economic growth. According to consultants PWC,
:10:25. > :10:26.the coming months will be challenging, but the UK
:10:27. > :10:28.should avoid a recession. Consumer spending growth is expected
:10:29. > :10:32.to slow because of a weaker pound, and they predict property prices

:11:16. > :11:32.surgeon describes it Playtime for 13-month-old Sophie.
:11:33. > :11:37.She was born with a cleft lip and palate. For her mum and dad, that
:11:38. > :11:41.meant difficult decisions. We were not sure entirely what to expect.
:11:42. > :11:46.Although we had a lot of support from the cleft team and Doctor
:11:47. > :11:50.Henley during that period, so we were well informed, but as for any
:11:51. > :11:55.parent, it is always an anxious time about what lies ahead. One of the
:11:56. > :12:00.biggest worries was that surgery would leave their little girl with a
:12:01. > :12:05.scar. She would have to grow up with it and that was a concern. But
:12:06. > :12:18.having seen what can be done, we were quite happy to agree on what we
:12:19. > :12:23.perceived. Sophie's scar is barely noticeable. Other children are not
:12:24. > :12:27.so lucky. Here at Edinburgh's Royal Hospital for sick children, they
:12:28. > :12:31.carry out hundreds of operations on youngsters. Some are left
:12:32. > :12:34.unavoidably with scars. For the specialist teams to carry out
:12:35. > :12:41.operations without leaving a scar, it is the holy Grail. This doctor is
:12:42. > :12:47.backing a campaign launched today to achieve scar free healing. She
:12:48. > :12:51.believes it is possible and would transform the lives of patients
:12:52. > :12:57.suffering from burns and other major injuries. I think some of the really
:12:58. > :13:04.big exciting answers about scarring will come from a better
:13:05. > :13:11.understanding of why we scar and understanding it to allow how we
:13:12. > :13:15.tweak how we respond to wounds, to ensure we achieve perfect scar free
:13:16. > :13:20.wound healing. For children like Sophie and others, the prospect of
:13:21. > :13:23.scar free healing could transform lives.

:17:03. > :17:11.Thank you, a very good day for Scottish sport.
:17:12. > :17:14.This summer in Rio will see the largest contingent of Scots ever
:17:15. > :17:16.selected for team GB in an away Olympic Games.
:17:17. > :17:18.50 Scottish athletes will take their seats on the plane
:17:19. > :17:22.to Brazil for next month's Games, that's almost 14 % of the GB Team.
:17:23. > :17:24.And as Jane Lewis reports, there's belief the Scots
:17:25. > :17:30.will also play their part in Britain's medal tally.
:17:31. > :17:38.Athletics, swimming and rowing is where you will find the bulk of the
:17:39. > :17:41.Scots. There are 15 track and field athletics, while both the swimming
:17:42. > :17:45.and rowing squads contain eight. The other athletes are spread over 12
:17:46. > :17:53.sports, so Scots will compete in 15 out of the 42 sports in Rio. If you
:17:54. > :17:57.look at those 50 Scots on Team GB in the Olympics, I think we could have
:17:58. > :18:01.as many as 0% of them in serious medal contention. -- as many as 20%.
:18:02. > :18:04.We have nine or ten sports where we can seriously win medals from.
:18:05. > :18:08.That's another target we have set. We want a best ever away. We are
:18:09. > :18:11.looking for more than nine medallists and more than eight
:18:12. > :18:16.medals. I think we are on track to get ten. Many of the names in the
:18:17. > :18:20.team are familiar Great Britain delivers, Olympic champion. For
:18:21. > :18:26.Katherine Grainger, this will be her fifth Olympics. She is one of 17 who
:18:27. > :18:30.has prior Olympic experience but for 33 of the Scots, this will be their
:18:31. > :18:35.first Olympics. I mean, it is the biggest show on Earth. I'm so
:18:36. > :18:39.excited. If I go in confident and just believe in my ability in the
:18:40. > :18:44.training and the work I have put in, that's definitely enough to stand me
:18:45. > :18:49.in a good stead. Rugby Sevens is also making its Olympic debut. It
:18:50. > :18:53.was the final squad to be announced and Scottish pair Mark Bennett and
:18:54. > :18:56.Mark Robinson are in. It'll be massive for sport. So many different
:18:57. > :19:01.people watching, a different audience and hopefully it can push
:19:02. > :19:05.more people on to start playing. The Commonwealth games were a huge
:19:06. > :19:09.success in Glasgow. So 50 Scots going to Rio, beating the previous
:19:10. > :19:11.record of the number of Scottish athletes in Team GB in an away
:19:12. > :19:14.Olympics. That was in Beijing in athletes in Team GB in an away
:19:15. > :19:16.2008 when 31 Scots made the team. Brendan Rodgers says Celtic
:19:17. > :19:18.may need to be patient if they are to overcome
:19:19. > :19:21.Lincoln Red Imps tomorrow night The Gibraltar side lead 1-0
:19:22. > :19:26.from their first leg and the Imps captain says,
:19:27. > :19:28."they may be the underdogs but they are capable
:19:29. > :19:32.of causing another upset!" However if they do, it might not go
:19:33. > :19:42.down too well with their families. Well, Celtic will look to overturn
:19:43. > :19:45.their humiliating defeat in Gibraltar and continue to fly the
:19:46. > :19:48.flag for Scotland this season in the Champions' League.
:19:49. > :19:52.Before tomorrow's match, this flag would be unfurled to celebrate
:19:53. > :19:56.Celtic's domestic success last season. But their Gibraltar
:19:57. > :20:02.opposition aim to spoil the party. And this is' not to be sneezed at.
:20:03. > :20:06.If we didn't believe in them, we wouldn't be here. Obviously we know
:20:07. > :20:11.that it's almost impossible, but there is always a possibility, you
:20:12. > :20:16.know, it is 11 v 11 and again if we can frustrate them and if Celtic
:20:17. > :20:21.have an iffy game and we play the game of our lives, why not. Despite
:20:22. > :20:26.trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Celtic aim it hit back quickly but
:20:27. > :20:31.the watchword from manager is patience It might take one hour or
:20:32. > :20:34.70 minutes in any game before you break a team down then you can
:20:35. > :20:39.score, two, three, four, five goals in the last 20. So for the game, if
:20:40. > :20:44.it needs patience, I'm sure the Celtic support letters support the
:20:45. > :20:49.team in that. Lincoln players had not bargained for grossing into the
:20:50. > :20:54.next stage. A lot of them have holidays booked for next week, if
:20:55. > :20:59.the next round take place. I go on holiday on Friday. If we were to go
:21:00. > :21:03.through, I would have to cancel. My wife and kids wouldn't be happy.
:21:04. > :21:06.Something we sign up for. We are all living the dream and I wouldn't
:21:07. > :21:08.change it for the world. So, the incentive for Celtic is to make sure
:21:09. > :21:11.he gets that holiday. Elsewhere Rangers have signed

:21:27. > :21:31.tonight, plus updates as they happen It saw teams of engineers build
:21:32. > :21:46.battle-worthy robots which fought against each other, and were cheered
:21:47. > :21:49.on from the sidelines Now the show is being rebooted
:21:50. > :21:52.for a new generation, with the warning that "no
:21:53. > :21:55.machine is safe." Kevin Keane has been to a warehouse
:21:56. > :22:06.in Glasgow to find out more. They're big and they are out to
:22:07. > :22:13.destroy and after more than a decade, they are back on our
:22:14. > :22:21.screens. Feats of egg nearing ready to kill or be killed. But since the
:22:22. > :22:29.show was axed on 2004, these engineers haven't been in
:22:30. > :22:34.retirement, far from T Because the television camera cameras switched
:22:35. > :22:37.off, we didn't stop. There were different levels, we were just
:22:38. > :22:43.taking the cream off the top of it and sticking it on the TV. It's
:22:44. > :22:52.being filmed in a massive warehouse in Glasgow with bigger robots than
:22:53. > :22:55.ever, which fights behind Bullet-proof glass. There are 40
:22:56. > :22:59.different teams involved in this and the people here have waited ten
:23:00. > :23:03.years for this. Well, it is huge news. It was a childhood dream to be
:23:04. > :23:08.on the show. The opportunity to come here and actually build a machine
:23:09. > :23:13.and be on a show, it is absolutely, it is unreal. Two robots made to be
:23:14. > :23:17.like wimpering puppies. Most of the previous series was hosted by Craig

:23:21. > :23:24.from fans when its final series was aired.
:23:25. > :23:27.And the head judge, who has been with it since the beginning,
:23:28. > :23:31.believes those view letters like how it's changed. How much do you think
:23:32. > :23:35.this is an inspiration now to engineers of the future? I don't
:23:36. > :23:38.know about the future but in the past it's been a great inspiration.
:23:39. > :23:44.I continually get engineers coming up to me, all the time, still, and
:23:45. > :23:46.saying - when I was six years' old I watched robot wars and that's what
:23:47. > :23:49.got me into engineering. It is that watched robot wars and that's what
:23:50. > :23:56.excitement. That's what keeps me in the show, really. I didn't know how
:23:57. > :24:00.it would be. It's been incredible. A bit of a boys' programme? I think
:24:01. > :24:03.from based on the audience it probably is a bit of a boys
:24:04. > :24:08.programme, but it doesn't mean that girls can't come along and join N it
:24:09. > :24:15.is just as exciting for us, as it would be for them. Fans who have
:24:16. > :24:21.waited a decade for Ro bort Wars to return, are hoping it is here to
:24:22. > :24:27.say. Dab robot Wars. -- Rob ot Wars. Back to the weather
:24:28. > :24:32.now. Not every part of the country has enjoyed the sunshine but for
:24:33. > :24:37.those who have, it is about to come to an end.
:24:38. > :24:43.It was 29 in Prestwick today. Many other parts of Scotland enjoying
:24:44. > :24:47.very warm sunshine indeed. For tonight and tomorrow, though, we
:24:48. > :24:54.turn our attentions to some heavy rain forecast really across the bulk
:24:55. > :25:00.of Scotland. The Met Office has a yellowk be aware" warning in force.
:25:01. > :25:06.We are expecting heavy, thundery downpours, leading perhaps to
:25:07. > :25:10.localised flooding, hazardous driving conditions and potentially
:25:11. > :25:13.the loss of power for some areas. For this evening, though, hanging on
:25:14. > :25:18.to lovely warm sunshine. Tonight cloud will increase from the West.
:25:19. > :25:20.We will see heavy showers moving in from central and northern Scotland.
:25:21. > :25:24.Frequent thirned and lightning in the forecast, too, with some hail
:25:25. > :25:29.and across the south this next batch of very heavy rain beginning to feed
:25:30. > :25:34.in. So if the thunder and lightning doesn't keep you await tonight, then
:25:35. > :25:38.the humidity almost certainly will. Temperatures widely around 14-20.
:25:39. > :25:41.Some parts of the country have struggled to see these types of
:25:42. > :25:45.figures during the day over the last few weeks. So, into tomorrow then
:25:46. > :25:50.and quite a tricky commute for many of us as we see the next batch of
:25:51. > :25:53.heavy under thisry rain you are pushing in across southern, central,
:25:54. > :25:56.eastern and northern areas especially. As we go through the
:25:57. > :25:59.course of the day, though, it is somewhat an improving picture for
:26:00. > :26:03.many of us. So, into tomorrow afternoon, then, we hold on to the
:26:04. > :26:07.thundery, heavy rain across the Northern Isles, for much of the
:26:08. > :26:11.north-east, to across central and southern areas, an improving picture
:26:12. > :26:17.and fairly cloudy with some hint of brightness. Along western coastal
:26:18. > :26:21.areas, the Western Isles becoming drier although little in terms of
:26:22. > :26:26.brightness and heavy downpours across some parts of the north-west
:26:27. > :26:30.Highlands. A muggy, humid feel to come again tomorrow with highs of 22
:26:31. > :26:33.or 236789 into the evening period and tomorrow night, gradually we
:26:34. > :26:37.will see the showers becoming confined to the Northern Isles.
:26:38. > :26:42.Drier and brighter elsewhere and Thursday a much quieter day
:26:43. > :26:52.weather-wise. That's the forecast. Now a reminder of the main news: Two
:26:53. > :26:56.airline pilots have been remanded in custody after being charged with
:26:57. > :26:59.being drunk in control of an airport. They were arrested at
:27:00. > :27:03.Glasgow airport yesterday just before they were about to fly a
:27:04. > :27:08.plane with 350 to Canada. Flight took off this morning, almost a day
:27:09. > :27:11.late and with three weeks to go before the Olympics in Rio, the
:27:12. > :27:14.International Olympic Committee is seeking urgepent legal advice on the
:27:15. > :27:18.possibility of banning all Russian athletes from the games. It follow
:27:19. > :27:23.and report, detailing a state-run doping programme at the Winter
:27:24. > :27:34.Olympics in Russia in 2014. The IOC has ruled that all Russian
:27:35. > :27:38.athletes who competed in Sochi must now have their samples retested.
:27:39. > :27:43.That's all from us for now. We are back with the headlines at 8.00pm
:27:44. > :27:43.and just after the 10 owe clock news.
:27:44. > :27:46.Good evening.
