It is the campaign determined to capture the hearts and minds of the Scottish people. The battle for Scottish independence was launched today in Edinburgh. Alex Salmond set the party a target of enlisting the support of a million Scots for a declaration of Scottish Independence. The nationalists say their campaign will be the biggest community effort in Scottish history. The Arlene Fraser murder trial has been told she was killed because she was trying to leave her "possessive and controlling" husband. Jurors have been listening to the Crown's closing speech at the High Court in Edinburgh. A verdict in the case is likely next week. Auditors have been asked to look into a Clyde passenger ferry service after it emerged the crew operating the boat was not fully qualified. The Kilcreggan to Gourock ferry was restricted to carrying just 12 people because the skipper did not hold the correct licence. Operators say the issue has now been resolved, but locals say they're losing faith in the service. This episode has been edited for rights reasons.
