:00:00. > :00:13.have been meeting a UK defence minister,
:00:14. > :00:15.to discuss the future of Fort George.
:00:16. > :00:18.The 250-year-old barracks, outside Inverness
:00:19. > :00:21.is among a number of bases in Scotland at risk of closure
:00:22. > :00:26.which is expected to report by the end of the year.
:00:27. > :00:29.Here's our Westminster Correspondent David Porter.
:00:30. > :00:34.Fort George, the army's most northerly barracks in mainland UK,
:00:35. > :00:40.For two and a half centuries the base has been an integral part
:00:41. > :00:48.Supporters insist its strategic military and economic importance
:00:49. > :00:55.Anything else would be short-sighted, they say.
:00:56. > :00:58.This is proven to be one of the most efficient army bases
:00:59. > :01:04.It has a great record of doing the kind of things
:01:05. > :01:08.we need in modern defence, and it makes no sense
:01:09. > :01:11.that after investing ?30 million in Fort George,
:01:12. > :01:17.that they would look to close it on financial grounds.
:01:18. > :01:20.Fort George's future will be decided here, at the Ministry
:01:21. > :01:31.The MOD is one of the biggest landowners in Scotland,
:01:32. > :01:34.with an estate more than eight times the size of Glasgow.
:01:35. > :01:37.Every penny made from the sale of sites will be invested back
:01:38. > :01:41.into defence on things like the new maritime
:01:42. > :01:56.We will be losing more jobs there then we've lost
:01:57. > :01:59.in the downturn in the oil and gas industry at the moment.
:02:00. > :02:01.So you put those two together, and you look at the uncertainty
:02:02. > :02:05.of exit, and it really would be a blow to Highlands
:02:06. > :02:13.We would be more than unhappy if the barracks and the people left
:02:14. > :02:16.us, but we were left with the bombing ranges
:02:17. > :02:19.and the nuclear submarines on our coast.
:02:20. > :02:24.This is part of a wider review of MOD sites across the UK,
:02:25. > :02:29.and just one big defence decision that will impact Scotland.
:02:30. > :02:34.The renewal of Trident, though controversial, would mean
:02:35. > :02:44.The manufacture of type 26 frigates for the Navy
:02:45. > :02:47.would bring cash to the Clyde, but there are already concerns that
:02:48. > :02:51.delays to that programme could put jobs at risk.
:02:52. > :02:55.Proof that defence is important to Scotland, and also that Scotland
:02:56. > :03:07.The new chair of the troubled Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry says
:03:08. > :03:10.she'll carry out her duties independently and thoroughly.
:03:11. > :03:15.Lady Smith took over in July after her predecessor resigned,
:03:16. > :03:21.Three people have been charged with drugs offences
:03:22. > :03:25.following the death of a teenager in Midlothian at the weekend.
:03:26. > :03:27.Police say 16-year-old Shellie Callaghan may have had
:03:28. > :03:31.access to "ecstasy type tablets" at the party in Newtongrange.
:03:32. > :03:34.She died in hospital after falling ill.
:03:35. > :03:37.A 42-year-old woman and two girls aged 16 and 17
:03:38. > :03:45.are expected to appear at court tomorrow.
:03:46. > :03:47.Representatives of Donald Trump claim there's been a surge
:03:48. > :03:50.in investment at his golf resort in Ayrshire to around ?150m.
:03:51. > :03:53.That compares with accounts filed with Companies House which showed
:03:54. > :03:56.the Trump organisation had spent just 18 million pounds
:03:57. > :04:05.As well as Turnberry, Donald Trump owns a course in Aberdeenshire.
:04:06. > :04:08.Our reporter Steven Duff has been to meet two people with very
:04:09. > :04:10.different opinions of the man who aims to be America's
:04:11. > :04:17.It's where my mother was born and raised,
:04:18. > :04:25.The presidential nominee no stranger to Scotland,
:04:26. > :04:29.the acquisition of Turnberry golf courses.
:04:30. > :04:32.Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire,
:04:33. > :04:37.his love of the Western Isles, from where his mother hails.
:04:38. > :04:42.Donald Trump is a real Marmite man and politician.
:04:43. > :04:46.Stamina, determination, grit to overcome whatever
:04:47. > :04:53.The most obnoxious man I've ever met in my life.
:04:54. > :04:56.So big headed, full of self, and all he talks about
:04:57. > :05:09.As the owner of a successful hotel chain, Charles Skene is an admirer
:05:10. > :05:13.He believes the American's golf course in Aberdeenshire
:05:14. > :05:18.We accommodate a lot of golfers coming to the north-east
:05:19. > :05:21.of Scotland, and they all say the same thing, the course
:05:22. > :05:32.He defied Mr Trump, who wanted to buy up his land.
:05:33. > :05:40.They built the road on top of it, they dug the pipe away,
:05:41. > :05:43.and we were drinking water off the road for five years.
:05:44. > :05:47.The Trump Organisation says that claim is untrue.
:05:48. > :05:51.The water supply was restored within hours.
:05:52. > :05:55.Both men have had their brushes with Donald Trump.
:05:56. > :05:59.Charles Skene bumped into him in New York.
:06:00. > :06:01.We had a chat for about five minutes.
:06:02. > :06:09.I went back, finished the meal, called for the bill,
:06:10. > :06:11.and the waiter said, the Donald has paid for it.
:06:12. > :06:13.I said, if I'd known that, I would have ordered
:06:14. > :06:26.My only regret is that I didn't knock him on his (BLEEPED).
:06:27. > :06:29.We will find out soon whether Donald Trump
:06:30. > :06:35.Andy Murray is catching up on Novak Djokovic
:06:36. > :06:44.behind the Serbian, as he bids to gain the top spot.
:06:45. > :06:51.A victory in Shanghai for Andy Murray.
:06:52. > :06:54.Valuable ranking points in the battle to be
:06:55. > :07:00.How can he reach the world's top spot
:07:01. > :07:12.He will play three events, Vienna, Paris and the season
:07:13. > :07:14.ending with the ATP World Tour finals in London.
:07:15. > :07:22.Andy Murray could win the 500 points in Vienna while Djokovic rests.
:07:23. > :07:25.Djokovic one Paris and the world finals last year so he has
:07:26. > :07:28.2300 points to defend or lose if he doesn't win the titles this year.
:07:29. > :07:34.Murray only won 800 last year so he has many to gain.
:07:35. > :07:43.In fact, he admits when there was a turning point
:07:44. > :07:48.that led to his current career's best form.
:07:49. > :07:53.Winning Wimbledon was a big boost my confidence after I'd had quite
:07:54. > :07:59.a few tough losses in a Slam in the last few years.
:08:00. > :08:03.Since the French Open, it's been the best three months
:08:04. > :08:12.It's a huge achievement to be world number one
:08:13. > :08:14.in any sport, not a feat achieved by many Scots.
:08:15. > :08:17.Takes a lot of hard work and determination and love for the
:08:18. > :08:22.I don't think Andy will have any problems if he
:08:23. > :08:31.Scotland's football team is 44th in the world.
:08:32. > :08:35.The rugby team fares better at eight.
:08:36. > :08:40.Russell Knox is the highest ranked golfer at 20th.
:08:41. > :08:43.In boxing, historically, we have
:08:44. > :08:46.punched above our weight with Ricky Burns the latest to be crowned
:08:47. > :09:00.So will Andy Murray add to that list?
:09:01. > :09:02.He's certainly mapping a path in his mission to succeed.
:09:03. > :09:04.Grey squirrels are among the most common woodland creatures.
:09:05. > :09:07.Their cousins - red squirrels are much rarer.
:09:08. > :09:10.But few of us have seen a squirrel that's completely white.
:09:11. > :09:14.Now a family of white squirrels has moved into a garden in Edinburgh,
:09:15. > :09:17.and our reporter Cameron Buttle has been along to try to get a glimpse.
:09:18. > :09:19.There are thought to be more than 2.5 million
:09:20. > :09:23.Cute, cuddly, fun to watch and mostly grey.
:09:24. > :09:29.It's incredibly rare to see one like this.
:09:30. > :09:33.So the chances of seeing this, two white squirrels are even rarer.
:09:34. > :09:36.This is a family of at least four that have made a corner
:09:37. > :09:44.The guys working here said that there were
:09:45. > :09:46.white squirrels but we were reluctant to believe them
:09:47. > :09:54.My friends wouldn't believe it either until they saw them.
:09:55. > :09:59.This is one of the white squirrels. There are three.
:10:00. > :10:01.Around the corner for nature lover Ronnie Stevenson,
:10:02. > :10:19.We've become so used to them that we take it for granted.
:10:20. > :10:21.Every day, about 8:30am in the morning they come.
:10:22. > :10:28.Ronnie had travelled around the North of Scotland
:10:29. > :10:31.in search of a white squirrel but never saw one.
:10:32. > :10:40.We travelled up to northern Scotland one Sunday to see them
:10:41. > :10:43.but we never saw them and now we see them every day.
:10:44. > :10:46.Conservationists say it is very rare to see even one white squirrel.
:10:47. > :11:00.That makes them easy targets for predators.
:11:01. > :11:04.But the Edinburgh white squirrels seem to be surviving fine.
:11:05. > :11:05.With neighbours looking out for them, hopefully,
:11:06. > :11:19.Time now for the latest weather forecast, with Kawser.
:11:20. > :11:28.We are already seeing some heavy rain across western parts of the
:11:29. > :11:33.country. One of our weather watchers managed to capture the building rain
:11:34. > :11:42.clouds. This evening, outbreaks of rain moving eastwards. Behind it,
:11:43. > :11:49.colder air. There could be some wet snow over the highest hills and
:11:50. > :11:53.mountains. The air is much colder behind it and temperatures could dip
:11:54. > :12:03.down to close to freezing or just below in the rural areas. Showers
:12:04. > :12:09.behind it. For tomorrow morning, and East - West split. The best of the
:12:10. > :12:15.sunshine in the east. Around 8am it will be fairly chilly with some
:12:16. > :12:21.showers. The best brightness across parts of Aberdeen share. Further
:12:22. > :12:30.north, some decent sunny spells as the day progresses. Plenty of the
:12:31. > :12:36.sunny spells through the day but showers could be quite heavy. The
:12:37. > :12:44.winds may touch gale force for a time in north-west coastal areas.
:12:45. > :12:46.Feeling much colder in the wind. Mid week onwards, high pressure tends to
:12:47. > :12:52.build. That low pressure moving week onwards, high pressure tends to
:12:53. > :12:58.towards the east. Dry weather with sunny spells, the winds will be
:12:59. > :13:05.lighter, it will make the difference in the feel of the weather. Showers
:13:06. > :13:09.along the east coast on Wednesday but across the UK plenty of
:13:10. > :13:13.sunshine. Temperatures a degree or two up. Similar for Thursday and
:13:14. > :13:19.Friday. Our next update is during Breakfast
:13:20. > :13:24.at 6.25 tomorrow morning. But, from everyone on the late team
:13:25. > :13:27.here in Glasgow and around Drama. Jeopardy.
:13:28. > :13:35.I just haven't been sleeping. Excitement. Tension.
:13:36. > :13:37.This is manic. Bakers. Passion.
:13:38. > :13:40.There's nowt wrong with that. BOTH: C'est la semaine de...
:13:41. > :13:44.patisserie.
