:01:40. > :01:44.Grainger in the women's pairs, along with her partner Vicky Thornley,
:01:45. > :01:48.Grainger's fifth Olympic medal. They gave it their all in the double

:02:02. > :02:06.Overwhelming pride, that offers one to win out of all five medals. I'm
:02:07. > :02:11.still proud. There are not many people who would have expected us to
:02:12. > :02:16.lead the race of that calibre of finalists. It shows you the depth of
:02:17. > :02:23.belief we had in each other, and the boat. Of course we were going to go

:03:33. > :03:39.the University of Edinburgh that Katherine Grainger's rowing career
:03:40. > :03:43.began. And jubilation at such a phenomenal achievement, even if it
:03:44. > :03:47.wasn't to be gold. They are going away Olympic silver medallist.
:03:48. > :03:51.We are really lucky to have people to look up to like that. I know
:03:52. > :03:55.other clubs look up to Catherine as well. Everyone tries to grab a bit
:03:56. > :03:59.of Catherine. She went to St Andrews, but have someone like her
:04:00. > :04:03.out there is inspiring for everyone. Last time Katherine Grainger was
:04:04. > :04:06.here it was to open the gym in her name. At the University's rowing
:04:07. > :04:11.club there were plenty of early morning shifts honing her skills.
:04:12. > :04:15.This is where Katherine Grainger learned to row. The union Canal in
:04:16. > :04:20.Edinburgh. It is no wider than the lane that she has just been rowing
:04:21. > :04:23.in in Rio, but this is where she did all the hard graft that turned her
:04:24. > :04:28.into the most successful female Olympian we've ever had.
:04:29. > :04:36.Back in 2012 Katherine Grainger took hold with partner Anna Watkins. Add
:04:37. > :04:41.to that three silvers from Sydney, Athens and Beijing, her record equal
:04:42. > :04:47.to Rebecca Adlington. Today's medal with new partner Vicky Thornley made
:04:48. > :04:51.it one better. It's fantastic, what she's managed to achieve, to
:04:52. > :04:55.basically go into retirement, take two years off and then fight her way
:04:56. > :05:02.back into the team. Five weeks ago she was basically out, and actually
:05:03. > :05:07.get a silver medal is some achievement.
:05:08. > :05:10.At 40 and with an armful of Olympic medals, Katherine Grainger will
:05:11. > :05:13.undoubtably be an inspiration for young and old.
:05:14. > :05:16.Well there are more Scots in action in Rio tonight.
:05:17. > :05:18.Let's cross to Rio and our Olympics reporter Kheredine Idessane.
:05:19. > :05:31.Yes, it's been quite a day for Team GB and Scotland on the water. Where
:05:32. > :05:36.hoping it's going to continue just now. I am at the Whitewater Centre

:06:02. > :06:03.again, fabulous chance for her to get a medal in that final after
:06:04. > :06:09.again, fabulous chance for her to seven o'clock. It is a hectic day of
:06:10. > :06:15.action here in Rio because Andy Murray right now is on Centre Court.
:06:16. > :06:21.The news from there is... We can have a look at him taking the first
:06:22. > :06:31.set from Italy's Fabio Fognini. 6-1 to Andy Murray. Superb stuff for
:06:32. > :06:35.him. Things not going quite so smoothly in the second set. Fabio
:06:36. > :06:41.Fognini has just broken Murray and it is for- two in the second set. A
:06:42. > :06:45.breakdown in the second set. Best-of-3, Olympic tennis. Just

:07:35. > :07:37.started that run with Richard Hounslow. Fingers crossed for them.
:07:38. > :07:43.Hopefully they have a medal performance in them. It was silver

:21:01. > :21:05.13, they would engage more in football. They would get some fun
:21:06. > :21:09.from the game, and we would get more opportunity with people going into

:21:38. > :21:46.This is in Miami. The Beatles came from the Ed Sullivan show... Harry
:21:47. > :21:50.Benson arrived in America with the Beatles in 1964, but he wasn't
:21:51. > :21:55.convinced it was the story for him. I wasn't that happy. I went back to
:21:56. > :22:01.my car for something. Went back into the hall, the Beatles were starting
:22:02. > :22:06.to play All My Loving and I thought, I'm on the right story! Throughout
:22:07. > :22:11.the 60s he found himself at the heart of some of the biggest stories
:22:12. > :22:14.in American politics, from the civil rights campaign to the assassination
:22:15. > :22:23.of Robert Kennedy, a man he got to know as a friend. Don't fail now,

:22:33. > :22:36.since Eisenhower. And I know you have taken the candidates as well,
:22:37. > :22:43.Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in there. Will you take a photo of the
:22:44. > :22:48.next president do you think? I think I've already got it. It will either
:22:49. > :22:54.be Donald or Hillary Clinton. If they become president for one week,
:22:55. > :22:58.it will make them. The opening of his latest exhibition at the
:22:59. > :23:00.Scottish parliament, it was an interesting and daunting

:23:11. > :23:15.Watergate, to be the fifth person off the plane on the tarmac in New
:23:16. > :23:20.York from the Beatles' first visit to America. He's such a personable
:23:21. > :23:25.man as well. That's reflected in his work. And he gets on with people. At

:24:00. > :24:02.Florence in the last few minutes in the double canoe with Richard
:24:03. > :24:07.Hounslow. A wonderful performance from them. It was a really good run,
:24:08. > :24:11.they were going third last, so they not only executed their performance
:24:12. > :24:15.superbly but when they got to the bottom they had a bit of a nervous
:24:16. > :24:22.wait to find out if the two teams behind them would bump them out of
:24:23. > :24:26.second position. The Slovak team were too good for anyone else, but
:24:27. > :24:29.it was second place for Florence and Hounslow at the bottom of their run,
:24:30. > :24:33.and they had a nervous wait to see if anybody would take that precious
:24:34. > :24:38.silver medal away from them. That didn't happen, and for the second
:24:39. > :24:44.consecutive Olympic Games, these two, England's Richard Hounslow and
:24:45. > :24:47.Aberdeen's David Florence, he grew up in Edinburgh, superb from them,
:24:48. > :24:53.the second time in consecutive Olympics they have silver medals,
:24:54. > :24:59.silver in London and silver in Rio. What a day for Scottish athletes in
:25:00. > :25:07.Rio, Katherine Grainger earlier, and David Florence today, alongside

:25:15. > :25:19.event. Could she upgrade silver to gold? All we need now is some good
:25:20. > :25:32.weather for Scotland. It is coming! The pressure chart explains a lot.
:25:33. > :25:37.Initially we have to get the weather front out of the way, this rain and
:25:38. > :25:46.murky condition and Waugh air. When that clears away on Saturday we will
:25:47. > :25:51.be looking at the high building. A fairly dreich picture across western
:25:52. > :25:57.Scotland before that. Still a Met Office yellow warning for the North
:25:58. > :26:01.West. Further east, a drier picture with brightness across Aberdeenshire
:26:02. > :26:05.with rain confined to the north-west and Northern Isles tonight. Missed

:26:16. > :26:19.fairly cloudy, brightness in the east, rain across the Northern Isles
:26:20. > :26:24.and the north. You can see it sink South as we head through the day.
:26:25. > :26:28.For the likes of Dumfries Galloway and into Lanarkshire and the western
:26:29. > :26:32.borders we will see some heavy deposits of rain. The rain is
:26:33. > :26:36.lighter to the coast. Some rain around the Glasgow area but even
:26:37. > :26:40.though temperatures are 17 it will still feel warm. Rain for the inner
:26:41. > :26:45.Hebrides but getting brighter all the time. Hopefully brighter for
:26:46. > :26:51.Caithness and becoming dry for the Northern Isles. Sunny spells
:26:52. > :26:56.developing eventually for the north-east with highs of 20 Celsius
:26:57. > :26:58.towards the eastern coast areas. The East coast generally holding onto

:27:17. > :27:20.weekend, Saturday has showers in the north and west, mainly dry
:27:21. > :27:25.elsewhere. Sunday, mainly dry and the good news is it will get warmer.
:27:26. > :27:27.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news.

:27:47. > :27:49.on the Western Isles on Sunday. But coastguards say they don't
