Police in Scotland have charged two people over allegations they tried to enter a UK nuclear submarine base.
The 34-year-old Iranian man and 31-year-old Romanian woman were arrested after reports that people were trying to enter Faslane naval base, on the west coast of Scotland.
Police Scotland said it was told of the attempt at around 5pm on Thursday and the suspects were arrested the following day.

Faslane, on the Gare Loch, is home to the core of the UK's attack submarine fleet and the Trident nuclear deterrent.
A Royal Navy spokesperson confirmed two people "who unsuccessfully attempted to enter HM Naval Base Clyde [Faslane] on Thursday 19 March" had been arrested and charged, adding it would not comment further as an investigation was under way.

Sky's defence and security analyst Michael Clarke said Faslane was "the biggest military base in Scotland", with around 6,000 to 7,000 people there, "both civilians and military".
"Faslane is probably Britain's most important single installation", he added. "We have seven attack submarines. And if they're all out of maintenance, then this is where they operate from."
