Tonight on Reporting Scotland: The First Minister claims leaving

the EU will cost the Scottish economy billions of pounds.

Opponents say independence is a greater risk.

Remove all these from the stock and I would power diluted Dettol with

could put them into Leaving the European Union

could cost the scottish That's according to

analysis published today But the Conservatives say

the figures are a smokescreen - and Ms Sturgeon should rule out

another independence vote Here's our political correspondent

Nick Eardley. What will leaving the EU mean for

Scotland's economy? For businesses and shoppers like these ones. Today,

the Scottish Government published analysis of how bad it thinks it

could be. Today's publication illustrates is that whatever the

final form of Brexit, whatever Brexit means, Brexit turns out to

actually mean in practice, the old argument that the UK somehow

delivers final security for Scotland no longer holds water. The figures

published today suggest the value of goods and services produced in

Scotland, known as GDP, could fall. But there is quite a range in how

much by. By 2030, the hit could be ?1. 7

billion per year, if we keep good trade links with the EU. But it

could be as much as ?11 billion in the worst case scenario. The amount

of tax coming in is also projected to fall.

By between 1. 7% and 3. 7 billion. We have put out a range of different

assessments and taken the Scottish impact of those assessments. I hope

they're all overblown but we have to be realistic about the situation we

find ourselves in in. The First Minister's clear she thinks Brexit

will be bad for Scotland. But she's also pre-empting figures tomorrow on

the state of our economy. It's expected opponents will use them to

say Scotland is better off in the UK even outside the EU. They're going

to show the significant challenges in the Scottish economy and they'll

also show the dividend that we have in Scotland from being part of the

UK. If she's talking today about security and stability, then she can

do one thing that will give us that security and stability in Scotland

and that's take a second referendum off the table, get back to the job

in hand. Thank you all very much. The First Minister says she will now

appoint a Brexit Minister and repeated her belief another

independence vote is highly likely. An oil rig that ran aground

on the west coast of Lewis has been re-floated and is now being towed

to the other side of the island. The Transocean winner was pulled off

rocks at high tide last night after spending two weeks stuck

on the shore at Dalmore bay. It's now been towed by two tugs

to Broad Bay near Stornoway Our reporter Huw Williams

is at Broad Bay for us tonight. Yes, after two weeks of waiting for

the rig to leave the West Coast of Lewis, tonight we are at Broad Bay

on the east side of the island waiting for it to arrive here. The

journey began at high tide almost exactly 20 hours ago, so it's on its

way. Under tow since last night, the

17,000 ton Transdgs ocean Winner being brought to a much more

sheltered anchorage on the east side of Lewis.

Two powerful tugs had been waiting in the dark until the rig floated on

the high tide off rocks that had kept it trapped for a fortnight.

Then the tow began. At last, the confirmation everyone

had been waiting for. We are under way...

Yeah, we are moving! We calculated the rig would come off

at exactly the same angle on the beach, that happened and yeah, we

are very pleased that all the hard work by lots of men and women to

calculate how we should do the work proved to be correct. But the rig is

still listing in the water, sorting that out is taking time, slowing

everything down. I spoke to the salvage master this

morning and there are still challenges. We still have a list on

the rig. That's up to ten degrees at times. This morning they've been

looking at pressurising the tanks, moving the ballast and trying to

reduce the amount of movement of the rig itself. It looks as though the

rig won't be at anchor until the early hours of tomorrow morning. The

main priority is to get her safely on the anchors and then it will be a

period of doing damage assessment. Teams of other people will come in

now, divers, people going into the water in that area trying to assess

how much damage there is and to see if we can do any temporary repairs

in the area. No answers yet on why the rig ran aground. That's the

subject of an independent inquiry by the marine accidents investigation

branch. The MAIB have been in touch with us

and asked us to provide them with, for example, part of the tow bridle.

We will do that once we get the BroadBay, it wasn't safe at Dalmore

beach so anything they ask us for, if we can, we will provide it. This

evening, preparations continue, setting out the anchorage points for

when the rig arrives. But that, of course, won'ting r be

Soldier from The Royal Regiment of Scotland has died. Our reporter is

there for us tonight. What more can you tell us about the circumstances

surrounding this. Ets Are sketchy. We do know

yesterday evening there was a night firing exercise here at the base.

Scheduled to last five hours t started at 9.00 and was due to end

2.00am. About quarter past 11 last night there was a report that a

soldier from the Royal Regiment of Scotland had suffered a severe head

wound as part of that live firing exercise and tragically he died at

the scene. One pretsunamis there will be an

inquiry into this. -- presumes there will be an inquiry into this. What

form will it take? We know it will be led by the local police force

here at Northumbria Police, but obviously the Ministry of Defence

will be involved, as well. We understand the Ministry of Defence

Safety Authority will be involved in that, as well. This is an absolutely

huge military base. It covers an area of 60,000 acres, beautiful

countryside in Northumbria, but of course it's a key part of the

British military's training. 30,000 soldiers a year will go through

their training at the base, partly including live firing training and

at any one time there are 1600 soldiers going through their

training at this base at the moment. We have had some response from the

Government. The armed forces Minister has said what happened here

last night is a tragedy. He said that deaths in training for the

military are rare but when they happen every death is a tragedy. We

should remind ourselves that it's only over a month since a Scottish

soldier died on military exercise in the Brecon Beacons, he was based at

the largest military base in western Europe. No doubt, more details of

what happened here will emerge in the next few hours and days.

Thank you very much. Britain's record breaking

Olympic Team arrived home from Rio today on a specially

chartered gold-nosed plane. They were met at Heathrow

by friends, family and fans. Our reporter Lisa Summers

was there too and caught up with some of the Scots

who were medallists at the Games. After all the hard work, the reward.

The tweets from some of our medallists speak for themselves as

they enjoyed the flight home. Shortly after 10.00am this morning

the plane touched down at Heathrow. As they filtered through, hub

hundreds of family, friends and fans lived the arrivals hall to greet the

record-breaking Olympic team. Of the 366 athletes who went out to Rio,

130 have returned with medals, it's an amazing achievement and as they

come home today time to bask in that success. It feels amazing. I think

it's sunk in more coming back here, everyone's been supportive and

excited. We live in a bubble over there for the last few weeks. It's

good to be back. It's been eight days since we finished racing, so

starting to feel a bit strange. I have not trained once. I am looking

forward to getting home and back in a routine. It was a Games when

history was made. There was a bronze in the 400 metres relay. Ellie was

only a year old when a Scottish track and field athlete last won a

medal. I was delighted with my Games and it was nice because afterwards

we found out that it was the medal that took us over the tally from

London and I found out it was the first medal from a Scottish athlete

for years. All these stats came out after that made it more special.

They're going away... It wasn't going to be gold for Katherine

Grainger, still, five medals in five consecutive Olympics, what's not to

like about that? But it had been a hard slog just to get there. Once

you are in the start line of the Olympics final everything is up for

grabs and I raced in the way that I only know how to and you go out and

take the race on and see what happens. One more question, have you

another one in you? I haven't said anything yet but it's probably

unlikely. For now, time to enjoy the glory as

-- glory as they come back down to earth. Before long the hard work

starts again with Tokyo in mind. You're watching Reporting

Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's

programme: The junior footballer whose hat trick's

made him an internet hit. And the band played

waltzing Matilda, singer Doctors have issued a warning

of the dangers of "bagpipe lung", after a piper died from a disease

thought to have been caused by mould and funghi

lurking in his instruments. They say the moist environment

inside bagpipes can lead to the growth of substances

which can harm human health. In full flow on Glasgow Green.

Competitors at the World Pipe Band Championships a few weeks ago. But

were those musicians inadvertently damaging their health?

Doctors say playing the pipes every day was probably fatal for one man.

In this particular case it was noted that the bagpipes were not

particularly clean. The cleaning brush had not been used that often.

So, I think that was the reason why the various parts of the bagpipes

were contaminated with yeast and mould. So, yes, clean your

instruments. Experts say it was a rare case.

But Craig who plays with the Red Hot Chilly Pipers says some need to

brush up on their cleaning technique. I would remove those and

I would power diluted Dettol with water down right into the bag, cork

off any open areas and give it a good swoosh around to get into the

bag. How worried should pipers be? We have been thinking about water

traps... Cleaning pipe bags is easier if they're synthetic, like

these on sale at Glasgow's College of Piping. Bagpipes have evolved

over centuries. Modern medicine now tells us that they may pose a

potential health risk. But it's a risk that's easily tackled through

good hygiene. A lorry driver, who shook a newborn

baby so violently it was left permanently brain damaged,

has been jailed for 25-year-old Damien Menzies

from Bathgate attacked the three-week-old at a dance show

in a Livingston high school He had denied harming the child,

who is unable to walk or talk, but was convicted

of attempted murder. Police Scotland has announced women

from Muslim communities may now wear It's part of an attempt to encourage

Muslim women to consider London's Metropolitan Police

approved a uniform Officers and police staff have

always had the option to wear religious headwear,

but today's announcement formally ratifies the use of the hijab,

a traditional covering Police Scotland says it currently

employs six female Muslim officers, none of whom wears the hijab either

on duty or outwith the force. Five men have been arrested by

police investigating the death of a man following a disturbance outside

a football ground in Glasgow. Gary Wear was injured along with three

other men near the Shettleston Juniors ground in August.

320-year-olds, as 19-year-old and a 21-year-old man are due in court

tomorrow. A look at other stories

from across the country. Emergency calls to the fire

and rescue service from the north-east will be handled

in Dundee from November the eighth. It's part of a phased move -

first announced more than two years ago -

which will eventually see the new centre in Dundee handle all

calls from the north of Scotland. The fire service says local

knowledge will not be lost A former priest at the Fort Augustus

Abbey School in the Highlands has denied assaulting pupils

using a cane, a hockey stick and a spiked golf shoe

while teaching there over 83 year old Thomas Seed taught

at the Loch Ness-side Catholic school where the incidents

are alleged to have happened Caledonian MacBrayne has formally

signed a 900 million pound contract to continue operating the Clyde

and Hebrides Ferries Network. State-owned CalMac competed with

private firm Serco for the Scottish Calmac was named the successful

bidder in May, giving it the right to run the services

for the next eight years. A thirty-nine year old woman has

died in a fire in Dumfries. The blaze broke out shortly before

eight o'clock last night in a flat on English Street

in the town centre. Firefighters took the woman

to hospital where she Plans for a new link road

in Inverness to connect the A9 The Scottish government has agreed

to fund the multi-million pound route between Inshes and Smithton

to improve traffic flow. But critics say it

is a waste of money. The Scottish Parliament says it

will try to fast-track an appeal brought by a group of independence

campaigners who have set up Last month a court ruled

that they should be evicted. The Parliament's Chief Executive

says he is disappointed by their appeal, which could

lead to further costs. The group set up camp outside

Holyrood last November. The Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers

believes the club shares a level of prestige with Barcelona,

Real Madrid and other He says it'll be an honour to be

back competing with such clubs if Celtic can reach

the Champions League group stage. The club's in Israel tonight

defending a 5-2 first leg lead. Brendan Rodgers and his

players stand on the brink of a place in the Champions League group

stage. Avoiding a 3-goal defeat tonight will secure a place among

the European elite. When you talk about the great clubs of European

football, you're talking about Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan,

and Celtic is synonymous with those clubs. If you are talking big clubs

historically in Europe and a team that has won the European Cup, you

talk about Glasgow Celtic soul to be back among the echelons of teams is

a great honour for Celtic. It is an honour that comes with great

financial rewards, just by getting through tonight, Celtic will have

earned ?2.6 million and for playing in the group stage they will get

another ?10.3 million and that is added to television money and gate

receipts in the region of ?7 million and Celtic are already looking at

banking nearly ?30 million. That is before you consider prize money of

?1.3 million for a group stage win but is there any danger that the

Israeli champions could deny them these pictures? There is always a

chance and Celtic will be aware of that, especially if they score early

and it will be a nervous time. Overall, there was enough there, I

saw Celtic last week, they can go there and score as well and

hopefully that will be the case, not just for Celtic but all of Scottish

football, we would all love to see a Scottish team in the Champions

League again. A promising outcome in the promised land and a return to

football's own promise land will be assured.

At the other end of the football spectrum a player from the junior

Tam Hanlon of Pollock Juniors has become an internet hit after scoring

It is a cup tie were Pollock will beat Nielsen by 5-1 but three of

them come from 34-year-old Tam Hanlon. The right back has been

playing junior football for 15 years and has one big chance at the pro

game was a season with Albion Rovers. So who has in fire --

inspired Tam. Steven Gerrard, David Beckham. I never really compare

myself with anyone. I will have a go at it. The gaffer ended up taking me

off. I was gutted. So what is the professional verdict of Hanlon's

goals. That is outrageous. Technically it was an unbelievable

hat-trick and he deserves so much credit for it. There are some very

good players in junior football without a doubt and you see a lot of

junior players now getting chosen by the smaller clubs in Scotland would

you have been happy with that? I would have been really happy. I

could not have scored it. I do not have the technique to do that. The

second goal was incredible. Heady praise indeed for Hanlon. He has

been unbearable in training and games. He wants nights off and

different things. He has been a little bit unbearable. So for the

big call-up to the professional game has eluded Hanlon but would he come

running? If Brendan Rodgers came calling, I would give him a hand.

Private jets can come and pick me up!

The singer-songwriter Eric Bogle left Scotland for Australia

There, he wrote two of the most famous anti-war songs of all time.

No Man's Land - also known as The Green Fields of France -

And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda.

They've now been performed and recorded so many times,

people assume they're traditional songs from the first world war.

Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports.

You may not know the singer, but you will know his songs and five back

row was written by Eric Bogle in 1971, not long after he arrived in

the -- Australia -- five Micro. The time was right for the song. I did

not set it in Vietnam -- And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda?. The

song has since been sung by many artists unlike another of his songs,

46 Micro, it is often mistaken as a traditional song. Written at the

time of the First World War not a Scottish songwriter -- No Man's

Land. People automatically assume it is traditional. I always sign my

name to it. All I want people to do is sing it. Any songwriter worth

their assault, that should be their main ambition further songs. I was

asked again in an interview a couple of days ago why people are still

singing it, it is because people are still killing each other and until

we stop. These days he is happy to leave the singing to other people. I

we stop. These days he is happy to could happily fit in my office,

which is a loose description, for the rest of my life, trying to write

songs and getting frustrated and angry and throwing things and then

getting uplifted. It is a wonderful experience. It is the best that Eric

Bogle can do. The winner of the funniest joke

of the Edinburgh Fringe It's a gag by the stand-up

Masai Graham and here it is - My dad has suggested that I register

for a donor card. He is a man after my own heart!

To the weather now and it's over Christopher...

That was not too bad, but the joke was on us today weather-wise. It was

rocked rather heart down south. Meanwhile under the cloud here in

Scotland, a rather different story, outbreaks of rain, there was

sunshine to be had across the outbreaks of rain, there was

borders and are weather Watchers managed to capture that elusive blue

sky. This evening, cloudy still for most of the country with further

outbreaks of light and drizzly rain across the and yesterday we were

talking about thundery showers pushing up the east, but they are

most likely to stay offshore but you will still hear the odd rumble of

thunder or see a flash of lightning. Overnight, it is dry and fairly

mild, temperatures holding in double digits for most. The overnight rain

still with us in Orkney and Shetland Webb missed but it is clearing away.

Meanwhile, look at the mainland, sunshine, a very different day in

store for us tomorrow, really quite pleasant conditions. It is dry, fine

and bright and feeling pleasantly warm. A little cloud in the

north-west with one or two showers through the Hebrides, but a

different day in store for many of us and in the warmest part of the

day, we are looking at temperatures around 17 or 20 degrees. With light

winds, that will feel good. There will be fairweather cloud at times,

which should not spoil things. In the north-west, the chance of

showers, mainly through the Hebrides, and also in the north-west

Highlands, and after cloudy start for the Shetlands, it will improve

for Orkney and Shetland. The rest of the afternoon interleaving, lovely

spells of evening sunshine to come, right across the board, one or two

light showers in the Northwest. Thursday, a lot of dry weather, a

bit more in the way of cloud compared with tomorrow and a few

showers in the north-west of the country, best of the sunshine in the

West with temperatures around 19 degrees, elsewhere they are down a

notch, but tomorrow it is looking good.

Now, a reminder of tonight's main news...

The Scottish Government says leaving the EU could cost the economy

But the Conservatives say another independence vote

should be ruled out, to ensure stability.

Team GB have arrived home from Rio to a heroes' welcome,

bringing with them a record-breaking haul of 67 medals - 27 of them gold.

And the oil rig that ran aground in Lewis has been told to the other

side of the island. It spent two weeks stuck on the shore.

Our late bulletin is just after the ten o'clock news.

Until then, from everyone on the team - right

across the country - have a very good evening.
