Tonight on Reporting Scotland: Police apologised to the family of

this delivery driver as an inquiry finds failings in their

:00:23.:00:27.

investigation into his killing. am sorry that we did not treat you

:00:27.:00:33.

in a way that made you feel like you mattered to us. I am sorry that

:00:33.:00:40.

we did not record and investigate the attack on Simon as a racist

incident when we should have done Also, the battle over the headstone

Malcolm Webster bought for the White he murdered. The council

:00:49.:00:57.

steps in and removes it. -- for the wife he murders.

:00:57.:01:00.

The BBC news would you wrote to Scotland.

:01:00.:01:04.

And I am live on the River Tweed, where concern is growing that they

:01:04.:01:12.

could be an alien species somewhere Lothian and Borders Police have

:01:12.:01:16.

apologised to the family of a Chinese delivery driver killed in

:01:16.:01:21.

Edinburgh last year by a gang of youths. Simon San's relatives

:01:21.:01:25.

believed his death was racially motivated but this would not SOC --

:01:25.:01:29.

was not investigated by the police. Today the force admitted the family

:01:29.:01:32.

had not received the service they deserved.

:01:32.:01:40.

The darkest moment of his life, Trieu Seng San betrayed, angry,

:01:40.:01:46.

insulted over his son's death. sorry that we did not listen to you

:01:46.:01:50.

when you told us you thought the attack on Simon was racially

:01:50.:01:54.

motivated. I am sorry that we did not treat you in a way that made

:01:54.:02:01.

you feel like you mattered to us. I am sorry that we did not record and

:02:01.:02:05.

investigate the attack on Simon as a racist incident when we should

:02:05.:02:13.

have done so. Simon San was 40 when he was killed. He was a Chinese

:02:13.:02:18.

takeaway delivery driver whose family was originally from Vietnam.

:02:18.:02:25.

He had been blogging here when he was attacked. The youths rocked his

:02:25.:02:29.

car. One punched him in the face. He suffered severe head injuries

:02:29.:02:34.

and died later in hospital. 16- year-old John Reid was sentenced to

:02:34.:02:38.

five years. Three other youths were convicted on lesser charges. The

:02:38.:02:43.

family is convinced they would have received a longer sentences if the

:02:43.:02:49.

Crown had been convinced this was a racist crime. Four times the family

:02:49.:02:54.

reported being assaulted. Some of those incidents were racist. The

:02:54.:02:59.

youths involved had a history of antisocial and raised his behaviour.

:02:59.:03:06.

But at the time, the family said they were deeply insulted because

:03:06.:03:13.

they felt the police had somehow it suggested... The consequences were

:03:13.:03:17.

severe. Several officers have been disciplined and police procedures

:03:17.:03:21.

and training have been changed. This is not the first time police

:03:21.:03:28.

have failed to tackle race hate crime. Following the Stephen

:03:28.:03:31.

Lawrence report a whole series of guidelines were implemented. It is

:03:32.:03:36.

unfortunate that again and again police officers on the ground

:03:36.:03:40.

failed to heed guidelines. That is unacceptable. It is a disgrace and

:03:40.:03:49.

a betrayal of the word justice. San family say they will never

:03:49.:03:52.

forgive the officers who ignored them simply because they were

:03:52.:03:56.

Chinese. The force they have made changes to ensure this can never

:03:56.:04:00.

happen again. We have had an apology from the

:04:00.:04:03.

police but there still seems to be some confusion surrounding this

:04:03.:04:08.

case. Yes, the police have been apologising profusely this

:04:08.:04:12.

afternoon for the mistakes they have made in terms of investigating

:04:12.:04:16.

and recording this as a racist crime. They say they accept the

:04:16.:04:19.

evidence was there. Those mistakes compounded further for the family,

:04:19.:04:25.

adding to their misery by the fact there were failures in the

:04:25.:04:31.

interpretation service offered to them at one stage. There were

:04:31.:04:38.

confusions. The family was asked to bring Mr San to court as the

:04:38.:04:45.

defendant. The police did not act upon evidence. The ground have

:04:45.:04:51.

issued a statement this evening to St that they have rejected calls to

:04:51.:04:56.

of the Lord Advocate to order an immediate and urgent inquiry into

:04:56.:05:01.

this case and how it was handled. - - the Crown. So yes, there does

:05:01.:05:06.

appear to be a different opinion between the police and the Crown

:05:06.:05:09.

Office on what constitutes race crime.

:05:09.:05:13.

The headstone of Malcolm Webster's murdered wife has been removed

:05:13.:05:18.

after pleas from her family. Early this year, Webster was convicted of

:05:18.:05:22.

killing Claire Morris. The relatives have been campaigning for

:05:22.:05:27.

the stone to be removed because it still bears her married name and

:05:27.:05:32.

refers to her as a dear wife. The headstone Malcolm Webster

:05:32.:05:37.

placed on Claire Morris's grave. The wife that he murdered. It has

:05:37.:05:42.

now been removed by the local council. A source of torment to her

:05:42.:05:47.

family, gone. As far as I was concerned, the headstone was not

:05:47.:05:52.

only a light. It was a monstrosity and some think I did not want to

:05:52.:05:57.

have associated with clout. Malcolm Webster is serving a minimum term

:05:57.:06:02.

of 30 years for killing Claire in a staged car crash in 1994. His

:06:02.:06:07.

crimes also included trying to kill his second wife in New Zealand.

:06:07.:06:11.

Aberdeenshire Council says it is happy that what it has done is

:06:11.:06:14.

legal and that given the circumstances, the wording on the

:06:14.:06:18.

headstone would consider a death has corrosion. -- would be

:06:18.:06:22.

considered a desecration. To remove that partially separates Malcolm

:06:23.:06:27.

from Clare. The next step is to try to get some other memorial erected

:06:27.:06:32.

to it. It may have to go on the wall behind the grave because I do

:06:32.:06:39.

not want to leave an unmarked grave. The headstone is being kept in

:06:39.:06:43.

storage. Webster could challenge its removal but Claire Morris's

:06:44.:06:47.

family hope he will remain silent and that Blair will finally be

:06:47.:06:55.

allowed to rest in peace. A schoolboy and two friends who

:06:55.:07:00.

killed a young mother after she aborted his baby have been jailed.

opponents complain to UEFA over the eligibility of Carlos Bocanegra.

:07:44.:07:49.

Plus another player crossing the pond and heading to Ibrox. And it

:07:49.:07:54.

will be a long fight for fitness for Motherwell's Steven Saunders

:07:54.:07:59.

but he is determined to step forward for the Steelmen once again.

:07:59.:08:03.

Mysteries friends the death of an Elvis fan from Aberdeenshire who

:08:03.:08:11.

went missing when visiting Memphis. Gerry lorry was a regular visitor

:08:11.:08:16.

and travel there alone. -- Gerrie Lawrie.

:08:16.:08:21.

She was celebrating the life of her hero but hours after these photos

:08:21.:08:26.

were taken, Gerrie Lawrie's own life appeared to be cut short. As

:08:26.:08:31.

police investigate her death inside his apartment, the friend who died

:08:31.:08:39.

with her says there are many questions. They are downplaying

:08:40.:08:49.

this right now. Her Facebook was deleted. The fact that they cannot

:08:49.:08:58.

find the role,... Gerrie's partner has flown out to search for answers.

:08:58.:09:02.

Police say an autopsy is on the way that there is no sign of violence.

:09:02.:09:10.

Gerrie was last St -- seen a week ago but the alarm was raised when

:09:10.:09:15.

she did not returned to Aberdeen on Saturday as planned. A report was

:09:15.:09:19.

failed and a body was found. From the first time she went over

:09:20.:09:24.

there she loved it and wanted to go back and spend as much time as

:09:24.:09:28.

possible there and possibly move over there. Police in Memphis say

:09:29.:09:36.

more details are likely to be released over the next few days.

:09:36.:09:39.

The hit BBC school drama Waterloo Road is moving to Scotland after

:09:39.:09:46.

six years set in Lancashire town. The move could bring up to 230 jobs.

:09:46.:09:49.

The Scottish Government has hailed the investment as a significant

:09:49.:09:55.

announcement for the media industry here.

:09:55.:09:58.

This troubled Rochdale comprehensive is in for a dramatic

:09:58.:10:03.

move. It's gritty storylines and troubled teachers are being brought

:10:03.:10:12.

to Scotland. There are dramatic storylines. It will see as opening

:10:12.:10:18.

up a new school. Some of our teachers and pupils will appear in

:10:18.:10:22.

their independent school in Scotland. The search for a location

:10:22.:10:25.

is under way. But won't Scotland's educational differences cause

:10:25.:10:30.

problems? We do not want to focus on the difference between the

:10:30.:10:34.

education systems. This is a network show for a network audience

:10:34.:10:38.

and it confuses people when you start saying we can do this but not

:10:38.:10:47.

that. Drama has become big business in Scotland. There was a new series

:10:47.:10:52.

based on James Herriot's student days and a second series of Lip-

:10:52.:10:58.

service is being filmed for BBC Three. It is said the relocation

:10:58.:11:04.

could bring in around �25 million. What it will give us, even more

:11:04.:11:08.

than we have got that the ban it, his credibility across the UK but

:11:08.:11:15.

also internationally. We can hopefully attract more companies to

:11:15.:11:20.

make Scotland their base for key Productions. This is the said of

:11:20.:11:27.

home-grown soap opera of the River City. -- the set. We cannot fill

:11:27.:11:31.

anything going on at the moment because the storyline is top secret.

:11:31.:11:36.

But experts say the future of drama like this one in Scotland is not

:11:36.:11:40.

about simply bringing the drama here to be filmed at nurturing the

:11:40.:11:44.

talent, the scriptwriters, so that drama can be commissioned here as

:11:44.:11:49.

well as films here. Some of the other stories across

:11:49.:11:53.

Scotland: A murder investigation has been launched after the death

:11:53.:11:57.

of a man in Greenock last night. Police were called to a flat in

:11:57.:12:01.

Neil Street just before midnight after a 49-year-old man was stabbed

:12:01.:12:07.

in a fight. Two other men, 40 and 45, are in a stable condition in

:12:07.:12:10.

Inverclyde Royal Hospital. Foreign Secretary William Hague

:12:10.:12:13.

says if you were a Scottish minister he would now be urgently

:12:13.:12:16.

reviewing the conditions which allowed the Lockerbie bomber to be

:12:16.:12:20.

released from prison. Abdel Basset al-Megrahi was freed from crew-neck

:12:20.:12:24.

jail two years ago after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Mr

:12:24.:12:29.

Hague says he would support calls from America for al-Megrahi to be

:12:29.:12:33.

extradited to the US. A student at St Andrews University has been

:12:33.:12:38.

found guilty of races and. Cupar Sheriff Court heard Paul Donnachie

:12:38.:12:42.

called a Jewish student a terrorist. He will be sentenced next month.

:12:42.:12:46.

His victim, Hanan Reetblat, told the court how he had also violated

:12:46.:12:55.

It's got a black tongue, a spotted tail and a hunchback, and anglers

:12:55.:12:58.

in the Borders are being urged to kill it onside. -- on sight. The

:12:58.:13:02.

pink salmon has been spotted in the River Tweed and is believed to be a

:13:02.:13:05.

threat to our world famous Atlantic salmon stocks. Our reporter,

:13:05.:13:12.

Cameron Buttle, is on the Tweed for us tonight.

:13:12.:13:21.

It looks like he is halfway Intuit! -- into it. This is the Tweed,

:13:21.:13:25.

people come from all over the world to fish here and not just because

:13:25.:13:30.

of the stunning scenery and beautiful waters but because of a

:13:30.:13:34.

very special Atlantic salmon people can catch. It is said to have been

:13:34.:13:39.

a fantastic season and people have caught big fish all over the

:13:39.:13:43.

borders, but concerns are growing fat underneath this fast-flowing

:13:43.:13:49.

water, they could be an alien species called the pink salmon.

:13:49.:13:54.

Does not sound particularly threatening, but look at this. A

:13:54.:14:01.

black Tong, spotted back and tail, Hunchback, vicious teeth. And it

:14:01.:14:08.

comes from warmer Pacific waters. It has colonised waters in Canada,

:14:08.:14:16.

Norway, and concern in Scotland is that it is here in the Tweed.

:14:16.:14:26.
:14:26.:14:27.

is strange would -- a strange is if we found two in at the Tweed. So to

:14:27.:14:32.

find two in one week was quite strange and what was alarming was

:14:32.:14:37.

they were mature and ready to breed, male fish, and we were concerned if

:14:37.:14:40.

there were female fish, that is when a breeding population could

:14:40.:14:49.

start. You have it in for this fish, white anglers are so concerned?

:14:49.:14:55.

-- why it off anglers. The pink salmon cannot mate with

:14:55.:15:00.

the Atlantic salmon, but this is about preserving and maintaining

:15:00.:15:03.

the natural environment. The pink salmon does not belong here, the

:15:03.:15:09.

Atlantic salmon does. So the message to anglers is, if you catch

:15:09.:15:14.

one of these pink salmon, it is not a raffish, and do not put it back

:15:14.:15:21.

in the water, it does not belong here. Eat it if you want to, but do

:15:21.:15:26.

not put it back. Thank you for that.

:15:26.:15:29.

A Celtic fan who admitted posting racist and sectarian comments on

:15:29.:15:31.

Facebook has avoided a jail sentence after writing letters of

:15:31.:15:33.

apology. 20-year-old Michael Bailey, from Paisley, was caught after

:15:33.:15:37.

March's Old Firm game. At Glasgow Sheriff Court, he was told to carry

:15:37.:15:40.

out 300 hours of community service and banned from all UK football

:15:40.:15:42.

grounds for the next two years. A Scottish network of Pilgrimage

:15:42.:15:45.

Routes is being proposed to take advantage of so-called "faith

:15:45.:15:47.

tourism." Places of religious significance such as Iona and

:15:47.:15:50.

Whithorn are already well-known destinations. But a multi-faith

:15:50.:15:53.

church group says other sites on the routes used by followers of

:15:53.:15:56.

ancient saints like St Columba and St Ninian are missing out. Willie

:15:56.:16:06.
:16:06.:16:10.

Johnston reports. In the footsteps of saints. Four

:16:10.:16:14.

years, pilgrims have been drawn to Whithorn where St Ninian is said to

:16:14.:16:18.

have founded Scotland's first Christian community. And pilgrimage

:16:18.:16:24.

tourism today, the town's Minister practises what he preaches -- and

:16:24.:16:33.

when it comes to pilgrimage tourism. We go up to Iona, through much of

:16:33.:16:39.

north-east England, and nastier I carried out eight cycle from Iona

:16:39.:16:45.

to Whithorn. Early pilgrims came for prayer, healing and sometimes

:16:45.:16:48.

punishment. Medieval so this could be sent to repent at the shrine of

:16:48.:16:54.

St Ninian. -- medieval singers. Now it is to do with heritage and

:16:54.:16:59.

exercise. It was revived in the 1980s by an archaeological dig and

:16:59.:17:06.

has been an economic boost. A bit of economic spending in the local

:17:06.:17:10.

shops -- extra spending in the local shops helps them to stay

:17:10.:17:15.

alive and that keeps the school life. So from a local community

:17:15.:17:20.

aspect, it can mean everything. attractions are not just

:17:20.:17:25.

destinations like Whithorn and Iona, but the churches and even caves

:17:25.:17:30.

pilgrims used along the way. Now it is hoped to identify all the

:17:30.:17:34.

ancient pilgrim routes across Scotland and mark them for use by

:17:34.:17:39.

walkers and cyclists. The volume of people undertaking these journeys

:17:39.:17:43.

is going on every year so I think it is right that we in Scotland

:17:43.:17:48.

think seriously now of creating a proper network which has the right

:17:48.:17:54.

kind of literature, infrastructure to back it up. This see Cavan is

:17:54.:17:59.

where St Ninian is said to have come to pray early in the 5th

:17:59.:18:06.

century -- this sea caverns. To walk here is rocky and to establish

:18:06.:18:12.

a network could be tough going but potentially more rewarding.

:18:12.:18:16.

That report from St Ninian's Cave. To sport now, and Dougie's got the

:18:16.:18:17.

latest. Rangers' Europa League opponents NK

:18:17.:18:20.

Maribor have lodged a complaint with UEFA over the eligibility of

:18:20.:18:23.

Carlos Bocanegra. The American defender signed for the Ibrox club

:18:23.:18:25.

last Wednesday just hours before Maribor beat Rangers 2-1 in the

:18:25.:18:30.

first leg of their qualifying tie. Our senior football reporter, Chris

:18:30.:18:37.

McLaughlin, has been following the story.

:18:37.:18:43.

For the Slovenians NK Maribor defeated Rangers last Thursday and

:18:43.:18:45.

hours before Carlos Bocanegra signed on the dotted line for

:18:45.:18:51.

Rangers, beating and 11pm deadline to be eligible for the match. He

:18:51.:18:56.

did not yet have a UK work permit and this is what NK Maribor of

:18:56.:19:04.

protesting about and they think they have a case. UEFA have issued

:19:04.:19:08.

a so get -- issued a statement saying that NK Maribor had

:19:08.:19:12.

protested against the eligibility of Carlos Bocanegra and the

:19:12.:19:16.

disciplinary body will deal with the protest in you course. No word

:19:16.:19:21.

as yet from Rangers, but we do believe that the club is fairly

:19:21.:19:24.

relaxed about the situation. Rangers have just issued a

:19:24.:19:27.

statement saying, "We are extremely surprised by the complaint of NK

:19:27.:19:30.

Maribor. As confirmed by the SFA, Carlos Bocanegra was deemed

:19:30.:19:33.

eligible to play at a domestic level within the UEFA deadline in

:19:33.:19:35.

accordance with the requirements of the UEFA Regulations."

:19:35.:19:38.

Well, one play he looks to be cleared and ready to play for

:19:38.:19:42.

Rangers is Alejandro Bedoya. -- one player who looks. The 24 year old

:19:43.:19:45.

from Florida published on his social networking site that his

:19:45.:19:48.

visa application has been granted and he can't wait to play in front

:19:48.:19:52.

of crowds of more than 50,000. He is expected to join his new team

:19:52.:19:54.

mates in Glasgow tomorrow. Motherwell defender Steven Saunders

:19:54.:19:57.

has told BBC Scotland he is determined to get back fitter and

:19:57.:20:00.

stronger now that he will miss the remainder of this season with what

:20:00.:20:05.

can be a career-threatening injury. The 20 year old is beginning his

:20:05.:20:07.

rehabilitation after undergoing surgery for a ruptured Achilles,

:20:07.:20:09.

sustained while on international duty with Scotland under-21s a

:20:09.:20:19.
:20:19.:20:21.

fortnight ago. John Barnes reports. Taking his first steps back on the

:20:21.:20:24.

road to recovery, Steven Saunders tells me he is coming to terms with

:20:24.:20:30.

an injury which in the past has brought the careers of some to an

:20:30.:20:35.

end. For me, I will come back stranger -- stronger. The doctors

:20:35.:20:40.

and the physiotherapist do everything, they are good guys. I

:20:40.:20:43.

was first told one month which is a worry because I am just back

:20:43.:20:50.

playing in the team. The incident where it happened is still fresh.

:20:50.:20:54.

heard something and I looked down and I saw, and I tried to step

:20:54.:20:59.

forward and there was nothing. It was just numb and I fell on VAT and

:20:59.:21:04.

knew right away. Amazingly at the age of 20, it is not the first

:21:04.:21:10.

serious injury he has had. A broken kneecap, a broken leg, cartilage

:21:10.:21:15.

damage, bad injuries but nothing serious. It sounds serious! If it

:21:15.:21:22.

sounds it, but it is not out for months. A key is one of a number of

:21:22.:21:31.

injured players this season. He is not alone it. It seems like there

:21:31.:21:36.

are a lot of bad injuries and that is unlucky for a lot of players.

:21:36.:21:41.

all seems to happen at once, you cannot blame the pitch got anything.

:21:41.:21:46.

It is all about being patient now for the young defender as he begins

:21:46.:21:49.

the long road back to fitness. Fraser Foster says there is no sign

:21:50.:21:52.

of panic at Celtic, despite some poor results recently. Celtic go

:21:52.:21:55.

into Thursday's Europa League match against FC Sion on the back of a

doesn't see what all the fuss is about.

:22:06.:22:12.

That is not a bad result after one game. If we go and score a goal,

:22:12.:22:16.

the pressure is on, so I do not think we are under too much

:22:16.:22:20.

pressure, to be honest. If we get an away goal, the game is well in

wrote a line it -- a knife has prevailed. And that he was not

given full credit. I bet you he wrote every note of that so low

:23:33.:23:38.

because that is what he was like. It was in the early days when he

:23:38.:23:43.

played the electric guitar himself. Back in the 1960s and into the

first taste of the nature of the music industry as a beast. In the

late 1980s, he was demonstrating his gift as a producer and friend

Billy Connolly says he will remember his wit as well as his

talent. I was text think melodies - - I was doing the melodies and
