Commonwealth Nights

With Colin Paterson in Glasgow's Merchant Square. Ross Murdoch capped a stunning first day of Commonwealth Games action for Scotland as the hosts secured four golds in three hours.

Colin Paterson hears reaction from people in Glasgow's Merchant Square to day one of the Commonwealth Games. Ross Murdoch capped a stunning first day of Commonwealth Games action for Scotland as the hosts secured four golds in the space of three hours. Comedian Billy Connolly says the opening ceremony 'deeply moved' him. Elsewhere England's Alistair Brownlee won the men's Triathlon - his brother Jonny taking silver. In other news, at least thirteen people have died and more than two hundred were injured when a UN-run school, being used as a shelter, was hit during a bombardment. Meanwhile, an Air Algerie plane with one-hundred-and-sixteen people on board has crashed in northern Mali.
