:09:52. > :09:55.next? Well, one of the things the MOD says, or that David Mundell
:09:56. > :09:59.says, is the future of the Black Watch itself is not under threat
:10:00. > :10:04.because no cap badges are scheduled to go. It's merely the estate, the

:10:13. > :10:16.are out. But clearly campaigners have already got the bit between

:20:31. > :20:33.World Championships in the same city next August.
:20:34. > :20:37.COMMENTATOR: He finished so strongly. Well done to him. His
:20:38. > :20:42.hopes for Callum are even greater. Assuming he stays healthy and
:20:43. > :20:48.injury-free, he can improve on his ninth place. John Brown finished
:20:49. > :20:55.fourth in two Olympics, British guy. His personal best was 2: 9. Callum's
:20:56. > :20:59.is 2: 10. I think he can get into that ballpark. If things went right
:21:00. > :21:04.on the day, there's an outside chance of a medal.
:21:05. > :21:09.COMMENTATOR: Callum Hawkins of Great Britain in the front of the men's
:21:10. > :21:13.Olympic marathon. Callum Hawkins's rice to prominence has been swift.
:21:14. > :21:19.From his first marathon less than a year ago to a top ten in Rio. If
:21:20. > :21:23.that progress continues, he could yet be the first Brit to win a
:21:24. > :21:26.marathon medal since 1994. The quota of international players
:21:27. > :21:29.in the British Elite Ice Hockey league has risen again
:21:30. > :21:31.for the new season. Scotland's four teams have all met
:21:32. > :21:34.the full import numbers. But it means Scottish players
:21:35. > :21:49.are being squeezed out. Preparations are well underway for
:21:50. > :21:53.the new season. That means the arrival of signings from overseas.
:21:54. > :21:58.The import player numbers are up again this year to 14. That may
:21:59. > :22:01.raise the bar for sport here in the UK, it's not all good news for
:22:02. > :22:11.will make the cut at the top level. will make the cut at the top level.
:22:12. > :22:17.. And for Fife Fliers in Kirkcaldy, it's no different. Giving kids hope
:22:18. > :22:20.to play in this league is becoming a difficult thing for them to believe
:22:21. > :22:25.or buy into. They're not seeing the chances. They're not getting the ice
:22:26. > :22:30.time and games which they need to develop. When I put a British kid on
:22:31. > :22:36.the ice or a Scottish local kid out on the ice, they get louder and
:22:37. > :22:41.they're rooting for 'em. But that's a lot farther in between. Fife
:22:42. > :22:46.aren't the only up withes facing this dilemma. Not all are happy
:22:47. > :22:54.about the number creeping up once more. I'm disappointed we keep
:22:55. > :22:57.increasing the import levels. I've calm through the junior development
:22:58. > :23:03.system in the UK. Made it to the top level of the game. Our ethos as a
:23:04. > :23:06.clip, you want to see more kids come through development system. What
:23:07. > :23:11.about the young players' themselves? Not only do they have to earn a
:23:12. > :23:16.player in the side but they have to keep it. I managed to do it. Not
:23:17. > :23:20.smoothly but it was still a big jump. Some of these guys coming
:23:21. > :23:26.across, it's prettyity scary playing with these guys. I watch them,
:23:27. > :23:29.especially the defenders. Pick bits of their games up, try to copy them.
:23:30. > :23:32.These guys know what they're doing. Fancy doing a loop-the-loop
:23:33. > :23:36.in a vintage fighter plane? We've sent our reporter
:23:37. > :23:38.Laura Maxwell to Ayrshire, where final preparations for
:23:39. > :23:40.the Scottish International Airshow are underway, to take a spin in one
:23:41. > :23:53.of the display aircraft. It's not every day I need a harness,
:23:54. > :23:57.parachute and full safety briefing when I go to the office. But then
:23:58. > :24:09.it's not every day I deb flying in one of these. It's a 1966 Nanchang.
:24:10. > :24:14.Built by the Chinese people's Liberation Army. It is Lawrence's
:24:15. > :24:19.plane. He is one of the pilots who will put on a display at the
:24:20. > :24:23.airshow. It's a wonderful pleasure to fly. A wonderful thing to be able
:24:24. > :24:27.to share with other people. Let them see the aeroplanes we have the
:24:28. > :24:31.pleasure to fly. Let them enjoy it. I hope they do enjoy the aeroplanes.
:24:32. > :24:44.When I went up, I wasn't just quite so sure! Argh! Oh, my goodness, I
:24:45. > :24:50.feel like I'm going at 100m ph! No, you're going about 200m ph. There
:24:51. > :24:53.were trips to Prestwick to see the airshow as a boy which sparked
:24:54. > :24:59.Lawrence's love of all things aviation. I didn't know any pilots
:25:00. > :25:02.where I was brought up. Being at Prestwick, seeing the pilots,
:25:03. > :25:06.talking to them, watching the aeroplanes, it gave me a treatment,
:25:07. > :25:10.really. I was fortunate to eventually get there after many
:25:11. > :25:14.years of pursuing the dream. It's hoped the display he and others put
:25:15. > :25:19.on this weekend will help to inspire the next generation. We want to
:25:20. > :25:27.leave a legacy at Prestwick airport. We're running a week of stem,
:25:28. > :25:34.science, technology and mast. To launch the Lawrence's of the future.
:25:35. > :25:41.It's certain theless unusual ride in an aeroplane I've ever had!
:25:42. > :25:50.Maintainer her composure, just about! Not great weather for flying
:25:51. > :25:55.though, is it? Up and down and same over the next few days. Autumn
:25:56. > :25:59.started on a decent note with brightness and some sunshine too.
:26:00. > :26:03.During the day, it's been a going downhill type of day with most of us
:26:04. > :26:09.seeing some cloud and outbreaks of rain. Certainly that theme continues
:26:10. > :26:12.this evening. Heavy pulses of rain through Dumfries and the borders for
:26:13. > :26:15.a time. During tonight, that rain clears into the North Sea. Behind
:26:16. > :26:18.it, largely dry conditions with some clears into the North Sea. Behind
:26:19. > :26:22.clear spells. Just a few showers across the north-west primarily
:26:23. > :26:27.being pushed in on south-westerly winds. Not a cold night to come.
:26:28. > :26:32.Temperatures generally around 12-14 Celsius. Something just that bit
:26:33. > :26:36.chillier for some shellered rural areas. Tomorrow, a mixture of
:26:37. > :26:40.sunshine and showers. The showers primarily across the north and
:26:41. > :26:43.north-west. Fairly frequent and, at times, heavy showers here. Fewer
:26:44. > :26:47.showers to come over central, southern and eastern areas with more
:26:48. > :26:51.in the way of sunshine here. Indeed, in the sunshine tomorrow afternoon
:26:52. > :26:55.here, temperatures will peak around 18 or 19 Celsius. Not feeling too
:26:56. > :26:59.bad at all. Across much of the north however, we'll continue to see
:27:00. > :27:04.shower tomorrow afternoon. Perhaps the odd rumble of thunder and a
:27:05. > :27:08.fairly fresh feel again with highs of 16 or 17 Celsius. Towards
:27:09. > :27:12.evening, that sunshine and showers theme continues. The showers again
:27:13. > :27:17.heavy and fairly frequent across the north and north-west. Especially.
:27:18. > :27:22.Into Saturday. Open to a degree of doubt at this stage. We've various
:27:23. > :27:26.frontal systems sitting in the western Atlantic. Tropical air in
:27:27. > :27:31.the mix too. Some heavy rain expected at this stage it looks like
:27:32. > :27:35.that rain will primarily affect end land and Wales. In Scotland, another
:27:36. > :27:41.day of bright spells, some sunshine and also some showers and highs of
:27:42. > :27:45.18 or 19 Celsius. We may just see a longer spell of rain pushing into
:27:46. > :27:48.the south later. For Sunday, again, low pressure in charge. Sunshine and
:27:49. > :27:50.some showers. That's the forecast. Graham.
:27:51. > :27:52.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news:
:27:53. > :27:55.More than 1,900 offences of possessing indecent images
:27:56. > :27:57.of children have been recorded by Police Scotland
:27:58. > :28:06.I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm and the late bulletin just
:28:07. > :28:10.Until then, from everyone on the team, right across the country,
