:00:46. > :00:48.You like these are always attended by people who already back
:00:49. > :00:54.independence, the challenge for organisers in future is to attract
:00:55. > :00:58.people who voted no in 2014 and perhaps now are thinking about
:00:59. > :01:03.changing their mind. The movement hopes to win the new support after
:01:04. > :01:09.Britain as a whole back to leaving the EU against a majority of voters
:01:10. > :01:13.in Scotland. The former SNP leader, Alex Salmond, has guessed that a
:01:14. > :01:20.second independence referendum might come in 2018. It is dependent, very
:01:21. > :01:24.much, and negotiations taking place with the UK Government and European
:01:25. > :01:29.union on the UK exit from the European Union. Those timescales are
:01:30. > :01:36.difficult to nail down at this stage. Prounion campaigners say that
:01:37. > :01:39.the SNP has blown the case. It is clear that their position is
:01:40. > :01:44.independence at any cost. The pretence that we had two years ago
:01:45. > :01:47.that somehow independence would be economically an official, that it
:01:48. > :01:53.could lead to prosperity, it has been abandoned. If there is another
:01:54. > :01:57.vote the result is now seen as too close to call. Nobody can be sure
:01:58. > :02:03.what the outcome of a second referendum would be if it were to be
:02:04. > :02:06.held in the next year or two but that the SNP therefore means that a
:02:07. > :02:10.second referendum looks indeed like a substantial risk. But the truth is
:02:11. > :02:17.that the Unionist side Scotland's position inside the UK does not by
:02:18. > :02:19.any means look secure. What ever the timescale, these independent
:02:20. > :02:22.supporters are already revving up their campaign.
:02:23. > :02:24.Police in Edinburgh are investigating a suspicious incident
:02:25. > :02:28.An object was thrown at the Central Mosque in Potterow,
:02:29. > :02:31.just after 2 o'clock this morning, which caused fire damage
:02:32. > :02:35.The Education Secretary John Swinney has told the BBC that
:02:36. > :02:37.the Scottish Government may seek to give funding

:02:53. > :02:54.final tie between Great Britain and Argentina at two all.
:02:55. > :02:57.But it was all in vain because Argentina won the deciding
:02:58. > :03:06.Our Sports Reporter Kheredine Idessane was there.
:03:07. > :03:12.Drained after two long days but determined to defend his Davis Cup,
:03:13. > :03:18.could Andy Murray fight the fatigue and keep Britain in the time? The
:03:19. > :03:25.equation was simple. Win or bust. A break of serve secure the start he
:03:26. > :03:30.wanted, the first set taken 6-3. Maintaining the momentum would take
:03:31. > :03:34.the overall score to 2-2 and force a decisive match. He was soon two
:03:35. > :03:38.thirds of the way there. Approval from all sides of the house with the
:03:39. > :03:43.Commons Speaker and the First Minister in attendance. It was not
:03:44. > :03:46.the void of drama, he hooked itself in the third set and needed
:03:47. > :03:52.treatment for nearly ten minutes. Playing through the pain was not a
:03:53. > :03:57.problem, duly delivering a straight sets win.
:03:58. > :04:04.How is the late? I don't know. I need a rest, I need now. No break
:04:05. > :04:06.for this man. On Dan Evans assured us rest of the hopes of a nation.
:04:07. > :04:14.The world number 53 against the us rest of the hopes of a nation.
:04:15. > :04:20.world number 114, surprisingly brought in in place of Juan Martin
:04:21. > :04:25.Del Potro. He started well, winning the first set, but his opponent came
:04:26. > :04:28.back to take the next three, meaning ultimate disappointment for Great
:04:29. > :04:33.Britain, Argentina go through to the final at the end of next month to
:04:34. > :04:35.play Croatia. Andy Murray's next big target will be the end of season

:04:39. > :04:40.Premiership matches today. Dundee lost at home
:04:41. > :05:01.to Aberdeen, 3-1. It is a largely dry. The reigning

:05:07. > :05:11.well be chilly in the countryside. Dry and bright start to the day for
