:07:13. > :07:16.further consent from Edinburgh airport and from environmental
:07:17. > :07:22.groups, but from the north-east, there has been long-time support for
:07:23. > :07:25.an extension of Heathrow. The feeling is that was the best way to
:07:26. > :07:31.maintain and improve connectivity, with London and abroad. The Grampian

:08:35. > :08:45.Kenneth Macdonald has this report. Scottish science punches above its
:08:46. > :08:50.weight. They get a far bigger share of the UK's science budget than the
:08:51. > :08:55.size of our population might suggest. Why? Because we are good at
:08:56. > :09:00.it. In European funding, as in the UK, Scottish research attracts more
:09:01. > :09:04.than our population's share, what is called the southern framework
:09:05. > :09:09.programme between 2007 in 2013 attracted the support of almost 730
:09:10. > :09:16.million euros. The current programme, a 2020, has brought us
:09:17. > :09:19.almost 300 million so far. -- Horizon 2020. So while Brexit
:09:20. > :09:23.meaning Brexit, what will it mean the Scottish research perhaps more
:09:24. > :09:28.than all those Euros? Universities in Scotland are a fantastic asset in
:09:29. > :09:34.this country, two in the top hundred, 45 in the top 200. That is
:09:35. > :09:40.an asset that we really don't want to lose and it could be imperilled.
:09:41. > :09:43.Of course it is one aim for us because science doesn't really
:09:44. > :09:48.respect borders. I know from my own research background, to push back
:09:49. > :09:51.the frontiers and to make real progress, much of it involves
:09:52. > :09:55.international collaboration. The Scottish Government says it is
:09:56. > :10:01.concerned about the uncertainty and points the finger at the UK
:10:02. > :10:05.Government. The Treasury says funding for specific projects will
:10:06. > :10:09.continue beyond the UK's departure from the EU but that may not be
:10:10. > :10:14.enough for a major scheme to improve skills. A large part of that will be
:10:15. > :10:19.funding higher level qualifications, including quite a substantial number
:10:20. > :10:23.of postgraduate places, doctorates. Fine, we know that a lot of that
:10:24. > :10:29.funding has been confirmed, in the short-term, but doctorate takes
:10:30. > :10:33.three and a half to four years. We cannot in all honesty start any of

:22:07. > :22:10.here at Murrayfield one fortnight on Saturday. Head coach Vern Cotter
:22:11. > :22:13.will need his strongest available squad. But because of the club
:22:14. > :22:18.versus country row, he's not sure whether his English -based players
:22:19. > :22:23.will be available to him. The five in question are the Saracens duo of
:22:24. > :22:28.Sean Maitland and Duncan Taylor. Fellow back Tim Visser of
:22:29. > :22:34.harlequins. Forward Moray Low of the Exeter Chiefs. And most crucially of
:22:35. > :22:39.all, Gloucester's Greg Laidlaw, the Scotland captain. You cannot have a
:22:40. > :22:42.Scotland test periods without the Scottish captain. Greg Laidlaw is in
:22:43. > :22:45.there as the Scottish captain for three games. He should not be
:22:46. > :22:48.deprived of the rights to play for his country. And he should not be
:22:49. > :22:50.used as a political pawn between a group of clubs and a nation?
:22:51. > :22:55.Absolutely. This is rugby politics group of clubs and a nation?
:22:56. > :22:57.gone wrong. This is so bad for the game. It's a distraction Vern Cotter
:22:58. > :22:59.gone wrong. This is so bad for the could do without as he prepares
:23:00. > :23:03.gone wrong. This is so bad for the his last autumn test with Scotland.
:23:04. > :23:04.He will be replaced next summer by the Glasgow Warriors head coach
:23:05. > :23:10.Gregor Townsend. If you're doing the Glasgow Warriors head coach
:23:11. > :23:15.something and you want to go somewhere and you've got objectives
:23:16. > :23:19.in mind, that's the deal that done. We just move on. Moving on this
:23:20. > :23:21.autumn will be less of an ordeal if key players like as captain can join
:23:22. > :23:25.the party. All this month the festival Luminate
:23:26. > :23:27.has been celebrating the creativity It shares stories of ageing and
:23:28. > :23:31.explores what growing older means. And for one film-maker,
:23:32. > :23:34.what began as a single film has inspired an entire festival -
:23:35. > :23:37.within the festival. Our Arts Correspondent,
:23:38. > :23:52.Pauline McLean, reports. For film-maker Duncan, this
:23:53. > :23:55.Edinburgh care home was a starting point for his latest film project.

:23:58. > :23:59.he wanted to persuade other older people to the same.
:24:00. > :24:02.Five residents took up the challenge and spent the last few months
:24:03. > :24:08.Choosing the direction of themselves has allowed them
:24:09. > :24:12.We have all opted for different styles of music, everyone
:24:13. > :24:15.has a least one form of story and then to tell.
:24:16. > :24:18.May is one of the newest residents and at the age of 86
:24:19. > :24:19.decided her family was the most interesting story
:24:20. > :24:27.My son seemed quite thrilled about it but they kept telling me
:24:28. > :24:29.that Hollywood would be here and all of this kind
:24:30. > :24:38.But in one week, it was quite exciting, in one way.
:24:39. > :24:48.The film has been commissioned at the Luminate Festival
:24:49. > :24:51.which encourages older people to continue to be creative and there
:24:52. > :24:57.One of the residents spoke about how she wanted to do things like this
:24:58. > :25:00.in her life but had not been given the opportunity and,
:25:01. > :25:03.you know, I do not think at the age of 90 she expected to have this
:25:04. > :25:11.opportunity to do this and dedicate this film that we made
:25:12. > :25:16.The films will be shown at a special screening in the home
:25:17. > :25:19.and it is all that it will reach a wider audience at
:25:20. > :25:25.Who knows, if successful, there could be a sequel.
:25:26. > :25:32.Now here's Shelley Jofre with details of Scotland 2016.
:25:33. > :25:37.Tonight we're arresting how much economic benefit the new runway at
:25:38. > :25:42.Heathrow would bring to Scotland. And at what cost to the environment.
:25:43. > :25:46.And the international debate on improving disability rights comes to
:25:47. > :25:48.Edinburgh. Join me over on BBC Two at 10:30pm.

:26:01. > :26:04.morning. Later this afternoon, beautiful blue skies through the
:26:05. > :26:08.capital. There is change afoot this week. The easterly that we have had
:26:09. > :26:11.which has been so predominant is changing to a westerly. That means
:26:12. > :26:17.we will see some weather fronts coming in off the Atlantic with more
:26:18. > :26:19.cloud and wind around. Through the course of this evening, the cloud
:26:20. > :26:24.that we've seen building today, you can see it on the satellite picture.

:26:33. > :26:39.breezy, much milder than last night. For some, a little bit damp. Here is
:26:40. > :26:43.the rain edging in across the north-west. Fairly light and patchy
:26:44. > :26:47.for many. The further south and east you are, the drier it will be. A dip
:26:48. > :26:51.in temperature in the east, but temperatures here will recover. In

:27:12. > :27:18.Scotland, cloudy with a few showers. Much milder than today. 13-14
:27:19. > :27:22.Celsius. Further north, spells of sunshine coming through but also a
:27:23. > :27:25.number of blustery showers. It will be a windy day tomorrow with a
:27:26. > :27:29.strong south-westerly wind around the west coast and across the
:27:30. > :27:33.aisles. Through the course of the evening, the showers seemed to fade
:27:34. > :27:38.away. Fairly breezy and certainly not too cold. Thursday we do it all
:27:39. > :27:41.again. A weather front in the north-west bringing outbreaks of
