in Rio. That's it from the BBC newsroom. Time to join our

Olympic champions again - Heather Stanning and Helen Glover

:00:12.:00:14.

defend the rowing title they won at London 2012.

:00:15.:00:16.

We put a lot of pressure on ourselves as.

:00:17.:00:21.

As we talk it down. It means so. To us.

:00:22.:00:26.

We'll have all the latest from the Games in Rio

:00:27.:00:29.

RBS no more - after the bail out and huge losses,

:00:30.:00:35.

the bank rebrands itself as Royal Bank of Scotland.

:00:36.:00:39.

Two Turkish men convicted of smuggling more than three tonnes

:00:40.:00:42.

of cocaine are jailed for a total of 42 years.

:00:43.:00:44.

Another milestone for the Queensferry Crossing,

:00:45.:00:57.

as the North Tower is connected to Fife.

:00:58.:01:01.

Piping hot in the pouring rain, the World Championships come to Glasgow.

:01:02.:01:12.

It's been another great day at Rio for the Scottish

:01:13.:01:16.

Lossiemouth's Heather Stanning, along with her partner,

:01:17.:01:18.

Helen Glover, have taken Gold in rowing in the Women's Pairs.

:01:19.:01:21.

Our reporter, Jane Lewis, is in Rio and can tell us more.

:01:22.:01:30.

Another sensational day here at the Rio Olympics. Yesterday it was all

:01:31.:01:35.

about Katherine Grainger on the rowing lake. Today the focus turned

:01:36.:01:42.

to Heather Stanning. Defending Champion from London 2012. Unbeaten

:01:43.:01:47.

with her partner Helen Glover since 2011. They were going for 39 wins in

:01:48.:01:51.

a row for the Gold medal and they made it. It was an understandably

:01:52.:01:57.

relieved, if tired, pair who spoke to us afterwards. We put an awful

:01:58.:02:02.

lot of pressure on injure selves a. As we talk it down. I'm so emotional

:02:03.:02:06.

this week. This is not me at all. It means so.

:02:07.:02:11.

To us. More than London. London was a home Games, there was nothing more

:02:12.:02:19.

special. This is defending a title. This is like, we raced for the last

:02:20.:02:25.

four years. It means so much with the pressure we put on ourselves. We

:02:26.:02:33.

said - no pressure. Inside we are dying. What about defending,

:02:34.:02:40.

defending a title? We have to say thank you to all our families and

:02:41.:02:43.

friends. Sglp we have to get you married? Now I have to think about

:02:44.:02:46.

friends. Sglp we have to get you wedding. Less than a month. Talk

:02:47.:02:50.

about it later. Terrific stuff from Heather Stanning

:02:51.:02:57.

and Helen Glover. A marvellous Gold medal. Let us talk Rugby Sevensment

:02:58.:03:05.

the fooirs time it was at the Olympics. It was invented in

:03:06.:03:10.

Scotland. It's right the Scots should do well. Look at these very

:03:11.:03:17.

heavy, but wonderful Silver medals. The two Marks, Bennett and

:03:18.:03:21.

Robertson. What does it feel to have the medals wrapped around your

:03:22.:03:25.

necks? It's a pretty surreal experience. Coming in 10 weeks ago

:03:26.:03:29.

we didn't know what to expect because we are such a new group.

:03:30.:03:36.

It's been an incredible experience. One that we're absolutely loving.

:03:37.:03:40.

Obviously, to win that Silver yesterday and the number of messages

:03:41.:03:44.

we have had and the support from family and friend it has been an

:03:45.:03:50.

awesome experience so far. Glasgow Warriors and Scottish Ken

:03:51.:03:52.

Livingstone international, highlight of your career so far It's been some

:03:53.:03:58.

journey, that is for sure. We game together 10 weeks ago. We didn't

:03:59.:04:03.

know any of the other players. 10 weeks down-the-line we got a Silver

:04:04.:04:08.

at the Olympics, it's incredible. What does it do for Rugby Sevens and

:04:09.:04:17.

the game? For us, we really did want to showcase it to the world. Show

:04:18.:04:22.

how exciting a game it is. It has reached a whole new audience now.

:04:23.:04:28.

Also for the kids to see after the game how close we are with other

:04:29.:04:33.

teams. Teams.you make awesome friends along the way. The big thing

:04:34.:04:38.

is, like, we're really, really enjoying what we do. Can see that on

:04:39.:04:43.

the pitch. It's a lot of fun. The crowd enjoy it, too. We're hoping it

:04:44.:04:49.

grows and grows over the next few Tell us about years. This Rio 2016

:04:56.:05:01.

Golds with Heather Stanning and Katherine Grainger and David

Florence on the water. What is it like being part of this Awesome.

:05:05.:05:09.

It's incredible. Walking through the Village last night the number of

:05:10.:05:14.

people stopping us and congratulating us was incredible.

:05:15.:05:18.

It's not over yet. We have a few days to experience some other

:05:19.:05:22.

sports. Enjoy the other sports. Enjoy the Silver medals. Fantastic

:05:23.:05:27.

from the two Rugby Sevens guys. We had a Gold for a Scottish athlete in

:05:28.:05:32.

Team GB last night, Callum Skinner doing a Chris How. He was mentored

:05:33.:05:40.

by Kiss Hoi. Anchoring the Team Sprint guys home to an excellent

:05:41.:05:45.

Gold medal. A narrow win over New Zealand. We caught up with Callum

:05:46.:05:49.

Skinner afterwards. Also with his mum. We are outsiders. Previous

:05:50.:05:58.

World Championships we struggled to put a ride together sometimes. We

:05:59.:06:03.

wanted an Olympic result. Amazing we game away with it. Olympic record,

:06:04.:06:08.

beating the world champions and a Gold medal couldn't be happier. He

:06:09.:06:12.

got into a habit with the big medals he won of sending them to his

:06:13.:06:18.

granny. I haven't spoken to my mum yet. I got an email from her this

:06:19.:06:22.

morning saying - tell Callum not to send the medal in the post. So if

:06:23.:06:30.

you pick this up - don't send the medal in the post.

:06:31.:06:35.

Murray is on Centre Court. Andy Murray, a ding-dong battle he took

:06:36.:06:47.

the first set. It was level at 6-4. It's 4-4 in that decisive third set.

:06:48.:06:50.

This is a quarter-final of the Olympics remember. Tomorrow's

:06:51.:06:56.

semi-final, 4-4 in the third set. We will bring you the news on that this

:06:57.:07:01.

on. Final to finish with pictures you might find odd. Take a look at

:07:02.:07:09.

this. This should be the green diving pool. We had algea problems.

:07:10.:07:16.

Grace Reid will have to dive into that lart on in the 3m Diving.

:07:17.:07:23.

Rather her than me. We are assured it's perfectly safe. It's to do with

:07:24.:07:30.

PH levels and algae. Good luck to her and Andy Murray. Callum Skinner

:07:31.:07:34.

will go in the Velodrome later on. It's the first day of athletics.

:07:35.:07:38.

There was aened woerful world record on the track for the Ethiopia

:07:39.:07:43.

athlete. 14 seconds off the world record. Lauren Muir is the British

:07:44.:07:55.

record holder she goes in the heats in the small hours of tomorrow

:07:56.:07:58.

morning am we will bring you all the news tomorrow. Thank you very much.

:07:59.:08:03.

Speaking from a windy Rio de Janerio there. Apologies for any loss of

:08:04.:08:05.

sound quality. Two Turkish men, convicted

:08:06.:08:11.

of smuggling ?500 million worth of cocaine on board a ship

:08:12.:08:14.

in the North Sea, have been jailed Mumin Sahin and Emin Ozmen

:08:15.:08:17.

were found guilty after more than three tonnes of the drug

:08:18.:08:21.

were discovered inside the vessel after it was intercepted

:08:22.:08:23.

off the Aberdeen coast. Aberdeen Harbour in April last year

:08:24.:08:35.

and the search was on for a particularly valuable cargo hidden

:08:36.:08:41.

aboard the foreign tug the MV Hamal. 3.2 tonnes of cocaine with an

:08:42.:08:47.

estimated street value of ?500 million was removed from a specially

:08:48.:08:53.

adapted tank deep down in the tug. It took the search team days to find

:08:54.:08:58.

it and get it out. It's a black bin bag material. A layer of latex.

:08:59.:09:06.

128bales of cocaine. Thought to be 70% pure. The largest seizure in the

:09:07.:09:11.

UK. Today the Turkish captain of the tug and his second command were

:09:12.:09:16.

jailed for the smuggling and supply of that Coe kale. The Judge told the

:09:17.:09:19.

two men that though they were not at the top end of the drugs hierarchy,

:09:20.:09:24.

the quantity of cocaine in this case was not only significant, but

:09:25.:09:27.

massive and they had both played important roles. He jailed the

:09:28.:09:34.

captain, Mumin Sahin for 22 years and his First Officer Emin Ozmen for

:09:35.:09:43.

20 years. I'm hoping it will send out the message that the courts in

:09:44.:09:48.

Scotland will not tolerate anyone using our waters for international

:09:49.:09:52.

drug smuggling. What about people watching that case in Scotland? What

:09:53.:09:56.

would the impact of that consignment been here, any? Yes. 3.2 tonnes of

:09:57.:10:01.

koef cane destined for mainland Europe. The UK is a large user, the

:10:02.:10:07.

largest user of cocaine in Europe. A large quantity of that would have

:10:08.:10:11.

found itself into the UK and the streets of Scotland. The entire 3.2

:10:12.:10:16.

tonnes of cocaine made it as far as the High Court in Glasgow. A

:10:17.:10:19.

high-level security operation was put in place to bring it in for the

:10:20.:10:26.

jury to see. That cargo had been on an international voyage. Loaded in

:10:27.:10:33.

South America and tracked to the Pentland Firth. The UK Border Force

:10:34.:10:38.

and the Royal Navy were involved acting from a tip-off from the

:10:39.:10:43.

French authorities. 100 miles east of Aberdeen the Hamal was boarded

:10:44.:10:47.

and brought into harbour. The criminal investigation to find those

:10:48.:10:51.

higher up in this sophisticated smuggling operation continues.

R-B-S - three letters still able to enrage people, all these years

:11:24.:11:26.

after the bank collapsed and had to be bailed out by the taxpayer.

:11:27.:11:29.

Today, BBC Scotland has learned that these three letters

:11:30.:11:31.

are being consigned to the back office.

:11:32.:11:33.

Here, it'll be strictly Royal Bank of Scotland, while RBS

:11:34.:11:36.

in England and Wales will become NatWest,

:11:37.:11:37.

The rebrand was announced, as the bank's chief executive

:11:38.:11:41.

visited staff and customers in the Highlands.

losses. Its head has been spotted near here. Here he is. The Chief

his customers, a wildlife monitoring firm who has stayed with RBS through

:12:08.:12:11.

choppy waters. When they are bailed out to that tune anyone would be

:12:12.:12:15.

naturally concerned about their banking affairs. I was, but I didn't

:12:16.:12:28.

feel that I had to jump ship. Ross usually views his bank operations on

:12:29.:12:34.

are spreadsheets, he can now get to meet staff and customers including

:12:35.:12:41.

those at this Highland branch and address persistent negative

:12:42.:12:43.

perceptions. You have announced a loss for the first half of the year

:12:44.:12:48.

?2 billion, there is more to come, perhaps worse yet to come. Your

:12:49.:12:52.

shareholders, the public, is asking shareholders, the public, is asking

:12:53.:12:56.

- is this ever going to end? Two years to restructure the bank and

:12:57.:13:00.

bring it back here to the UK and the Republic. We set aside the two years

:13:01.:13:02.

to do as. As we could with the conduct and

:13:03.:13:07.

litigation issues so that the bank could move forward a lot faster.

:13:08.:13:14.

Then we set out the next phase of our strategic plan as 2017 through

:13:15.:13:19.

to 2020, which is around full focus of all of our parts of the business

:13:20.:13:24.

on the customer itself. Launching a new programme for Highland start-up

:13:25.:13:28.

businesses, the RBS is looking for its own new beginning. The brand is

:13:29.:13:32.

not only being rebooted, it's getting the boot, at least from the

:13:33.:13:38.

high street. The bank became a global brand and RBS became the

:13:39.:13:44.

global brand. We no longer have global aspirations we have local

:13:45.:13:47.

aspirations. The individual brands should stay. Ulster Bank for

:13:48.:13:56.

Ireland. The Royal Bank of Scotland for Scotland NatWest for England and

:13:57.:14:00.

Wales. Each one will stand for something different in their own

:14:01.:14:04.

communities. Asked if they would recommend Royal Bank of Scotland

:14:05.:14:11.

fewer Scottish customers say they would not thait rather than would.

at St Ninian's in Fife Our home affairs correspondent,

:15:30.:15:32.

Reevel Alderson, reports. It was a school which should have

:15:33.:15:43.

been a haven for Children in Need of care. But St Ninians was where a

:15:44.:15:50.

number of vulnerable youngsters were subjected to gross physical and

:15:51.:15:55.

sexual abuse. Paul Kelly, whose 64 and lives simpler method, was

:15:56.:15:59.

convicted of seven offences and received a ten year sentence. He

:16:00.:16:05.

continues to deny charges. Former headmaster John Farrell, later a

:16:06.:16:07.

continues to deny charges. Former parish priest, was convicted of four

:16:08.:16:12.

charges and jailed for four years. Jailing the pair, Judge Lord

:16:13.:16:15.

Matthews told them, the vulnerabilities to which the victims

:16:16.:16:17.

were already subject... Today's sentences marked the end of

:16:18.:16:34.

a 13 year campaign by one of Farrell's victims, Joe. He didn't

:16:35.:16:38.

want to give a recorded interview but said while there can never be

:16:39.:16:42.

closure in cases like this, at least he's seen justice done today.

:16:43.:16:46.

Prosecutors originally charged seven men with more than 100 offences

:16:47.:16:49.

dating back more than three decades and involving 35 alleged victims.

:16:50.:16:55.

They admit it was a complex case. There is no doubt that the victims

:16:56.:16:59.

for whom a conviction has not been secured will feel disappointed in

:17:00.:17:03.

the result. However the Crown's responsibility is to listen to these

:17:04.:17:08.

victims, take what they are saying seriously, consider whether or not

:17:09.:17:12.

there is sufficient evidence for the case to be indicted, and thereafter

:17:13.:17:15.

present the case to the court in the hope of securing a conviction. As

:17:16.:17:20.

the men were taken to the cells, a woman shouted "May God do to you

:17:21.:17:22.

what you did to others". The Scottish Qualifications

:17:23.:17:27.

Authority is investigating why an entire class of 20 students

:17:28.:17:29.

failed a course. They received no award

for the Higher media course at Inverness College UHI,

:17:32.:17:33.

part of the University The college says the usual quality

:17:34.:17:35.

assurances were in place for the course, and have asked

:17:36.:17:42.

the SQA to investigate. Services have returned to normal

at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley after the building

was affected by a water The issue forced dozens

:17:49.:17:51.

of operations to be postponed. Water supplies had been affected

by a build up of sediment Engineers working on the new Forth

to be completed since the opening 222 metres, 6000 tonnes, inch by

inch they pushed it out from Fife. For such a huge structure the final

:18:27.:18:30.

connection to the north tower was the most delicate of operations. Win

:18:31.:18:36.

and just plant movements on the north tower caused quite a lot of

:18:37.:18:39.

movement and the bridge was fluctuating up and down about 100

:18:40.:18:43.

millimetres. So this is the north tower of the bridge, and 700

:18:44.:18:48.

millimetres over here, we are now in Fife. In these blustery conditions

:18:49.:18:53.

in the middle of summer, you get a sense of how challenging it has been

:18:54.:18:56.

at times to work on this construction. Today is a significant

:18:57.:19:01.

milestone, measure of progress after the news that its completion date

:19:02.:19:04.

has been pushed back. The economy secretary visited the crossing

:19:05.:19:09.

today. He says he's confident it will open on time. Of course it's

:19:10.:19:14.

disappointing, we would like it done by the end of the year, but it will

:19:15.:19:17.

be done within its contract completion date, June next year.

:19:18.:19:21.

People can appreciate the scale and complexity of the challenges of a

:19:22.:19:26.

project like this. Strong gusts mean no dead lifting can take place

:19:27.:19:30.

today. Piece by piece 110 sections will be lifted into place and

:19:31.:19:35.

attached to the towers. There are 24 to go. It's a very sequential

:19:36.:19:38.

operation building a bridge like this. Once we are in the situation

:19:39.:19:42.

where we did get some delays pushing closure back, we are into a

:19:43.:19:46.

different weather pattern. As you appreciate from being up here today,

:19:47.:19:50.

once you are into difficult winter weather, that causes a knock-on

:19:51.:19:56.

effect. The joining of post to Tower marks further progress. In the next

:19:57.:20:01.

few months, the expectation, to see this stretching right across the

:20:02.:20:02.

Forth. Another day, another festival gets

:20:03.:20:06.

underway in Edinburgh. This time it's the international

:20:07.:20:08.

book festival which will play host to 800 writers, politicians,

:20:09.:20:11.

actors and scientists over Our arts correspondent

:20:12.:20:13.

Pauline McLean is in Pauline. Sally, you wouldn't think

:20:14.:20:25.

they'd be able to squeeze another festival into this city with so much

:20:26.:20:29.

going on already, it's bustling. As you can see they are ready to go for

:20:30.:20:33.

tomorrow, tense up, chairs out, they just need visitors to arrive. Nick

:20:34.:20:38.

Farley is the director. Fair to say you are taking on the world this

:20:39.:20:42.

year? We always try to take on the world but particularly this year in

:20:43.:20:45.

the light of recent events we will try to take on the world, yes. I

:20:46.:20:49.

think it's vital that we have a look at where Scotland is going now in

:20:50.:20:53.

light of the Brexit vote. We've also got to remember there is a big

:20:54.:20:56.

migration crisis going on out there and got to try to work out how on

:20:57.:21:01.

earth society will react to that. Serious discussion going on, plenty

:21:02.:21:05.

of other events as well. Julia Donaldson just passed us, setting up

:21:06.:21:09.

for her first show tomorrow. Lots of events like that? That's right,

:21:10.:21:14.

Julia kicks off the festival in the main theatre tomorrow. We've also

:21:15.:21:17.

got Michael Moore Pogo doing a fantastic performance in the

:21:18.:21:20.

children's programme. And people like Billy Bragg, the singer,

:21:21.:21:24.

talking about how he writes songs. So plenty of fun as well. Sarah Howe

:21:25.:21:31.

is here, you are a poet. Reading is traditionally a solitary pursuit,

:21:32.:21:34.

poetry in particular, yet its profile here is pretty high? I like

:21:35.:21:39.

wandering lonely as a cloud as much as the next poet but for me poetry

:21:40.:21:42.

is all about communicating, touching and meeting eyes with people.

:21:43.:21:48.

Whether one-to-one on the page or with the excitement and magic to

:21:49.:21:51.

live performance that I think nothing else can beat it, really.

:21:52.:21:57.

Yours is one of a number of events, I know Jackie Key is curating a

:21:58.:22:01.

whole string of events, the profile is really up for it? , It's so

:22:02.:22:05.

exciting. I'm so glad that festivals like Edinburgh are making for

:22:06.:22:11.

poetry. I think it's a really exciting moment when poets are

:22:12.:22:14.

reaching audiences that they would never have reached before. People

:22:15.:22:19.

are sort of coming to live events who would never have thought to even

:22:20.:22:23.

pick up a poetry book on a shelf but who didn't know that they need poems

:22:24.:22:28.

but love them. Sarah and Nick, thank you very much. Outside these gardens

:22:29.:22:31.

the International Festival and the fringe continue. We have one of the

:22:32.:22:40.

most anticipated shows, it has been cancelled Jude to the ill-health

:22:41.:22:45.

Richard Wilson. We wish him a speedy recovery.

:22:46.:22:47.

The 2016 World Pipe Band Championships have begun in Glasgow.

:22:48.:22:49.

More than 230 bands from across the world are competing

:22:50.:22:52.

in the hope of securing the ultimate piping prize.

:22:53.:22:54.

It's now almost 70 years since the world's pipe band Championships were

:22:55.:23:09.

first held at Glasgow and the contest is as popular as ever. Today

:23:10.:23:13.

first held at Glasgow and the here in Glasgow 's George Square

:23:14.:23:15.

members of the public were treated to a number of small number of the

:23:16.:23:20.

bands performing this weekend. In all some 8000 pipers and drummers

:23:21.:23:24.

are coming to the city in the hope of being crowned the next world pipe

:23:25.:23:31.

band champions. 234 bands from all over the world are taking part from

:23:32.:23:36.

as far afield as the US, New Zealand and Zimbabwe. Very excited. It's

:23:37.:23:43.

amazing. All the pipers. And we've learnt a lot. When you come down

:23:44.:23:48.

here, this is the home of piping. There's always so much that you

:23:49.:23:51.

learn. Despite some traditional Scottish weather to go with the

:23:52.:23:54.

music, spirits weren't dampened. And Scottish weather to go with the

:23:55.:23:57.

organisers are delighted with the standard eventually is. People who

:23:58.:24:02.

go and see these competitions and have been for years are telling me

:24:03.:24:06.

that the standard is now higher than it has ever been. Much of the focus

:24:07.:24:13.

this year will be on the defending champions. Last time they became the

:24:14.:24:16.

first Scottish band to win the contest in more than a decade.

:24:17.:24:22.

They'll face strong competition. We'll find out what happens when the

:24:23.:24:23.

winner is declared on Sunday. Some fine looking umbrellas, there.

:24:24.:24:34.

Tell us it is going to get better. It is going to get better. It's been

:24:35.:24:39.

a thoroughly miserable couple of days of whether especially across

:24:40.:24:42.

much of the West of Scotland. As we go through this weekend we can offer

:24:43.:24:47.

a gradual improvement. However this evening we hold onto a lot of cloud

:24:48.:24:52.

and some fairly heavy pulses of rain across much of the country leading

:24:53.:24:56.

to poor driving conditions. Through the night we will see rain clearing

:24:57.:25:00.

away to the north-east and to the south. Behind it a legacy of cloud

:25:01.:25:06.

and some bits and pieces of drizzle, especially for western Scotland.

:25:07.:25:09.

Mild night to come with temperatures company holding up into double

:25:10.:25:13.

figures and the winds will continue to ease. So a fairly cloudy start

:25:14.:25:18.

tomorrow. We will continue to see some bits and pieces of drizzle. As

:25:19.:25:22.

we go through the course of the day, much of the country will become dry,

:25:23.:25:26.

and we could see brightness and some sunshine. Here is the picture around

:25:27.:25:33.

4pm tomorrow. A couple of showers across south-western coastal areas.

:25:34.:25:37.

For much of southern, central and eastern Scotland it does look dry,

:25:38.:25:42.

there will be brightness, perhaps sunshine most likely for eastern

:25:43.:25:47.

areas. Cabbages may well peek around 20 Celsius. Across the Northern

:25:48.:25:54.

Ireland 's -- Northern Isles, cloudy conditions, spells of rain but

:25:55.:25:58.

generally not as wet for these areas as it has been over the last couple

:25:59.:26:03.

of days. A westerly breeze for western coastal areas, highs of 14

:26:04.:26:07.

to 16 Celsius. If going hill walking and climbing tomorrow, showers and

:26:08.:26:12.

longer spells of rain, extensive low cloud, winds from the West gusting

:26:13.:26:18.

around 45 to 55 mph. And furthermore southern ranges tomorrow, just a few

:26:19.:26:23.

showers across the Galloway hills. Winds here from the West gusting

:26:24.:26:29.

around 35 to 45 mph. And for the world pipe band Championships in

:26:30.:26:33.

Glasgow tomorrow, it's looking largely dry. Perhaps the odd shower,

:26:34.:26:37.

some bright spells, highs of 16 or 17 Celsius and a gentle breeze from

:26:38.:26:43.

the West. Into tomorrow evening we will see a scattering of showers

:26:44.:26:47.

continuing for the West, otherwise mainly dry. And for Sunday this area

:26:48.:26:52.

of high pressure just beginning to establish itself. So for Sunday

:26:53.:26:58.

itself we hold onto a fair amount of cloud, one or two showers across the

:26:59.:27:03.

North, mist, low cloud, highs of 18 or 19 degrees. Into Monday more in

:27:04.:27:07.

the way of sunshine and warm. Thank you. A reminder of tonight 's main

:27:08.:27:15.

news. Another great day at Rio for the Scottish athletes in Team GB.

:27:16.:27:20.

Helen Glover and Heather Stanning have taken gold. Two Turkish men
