Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news, a | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
family's grief at the brutal murder of a son. Stewart Walker was beaten | 0:00:15 | 0:00:24 | |
0:00:25 | 0:00:25 | ||
and burnt in what police say wasn't a random attack. One of the best | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
and most fun guys I've ever had the chance to meet in my life. Every | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
Monday morning it was a pleasure going into work. We'll be in | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Ayrshire tonight with the latest. Also in the programme, get ready | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
for severe weather. The government campaign to give advice and help - | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
just in case this winter turns out to be as bad as the last one. An | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
inquest opens into the death of this 84-year-old women, killed when | 0:00:44 | 0:00:54 | |
0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | ||
a high-speed train came off the rails in Cumbria. And later... Why | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
some of the most beautiful women in the world are hitting the high | 0:00:58 | 0:01:07 | |
Detectives investigating the murder of a 28-year-old Ayrshire man at | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
the weekend are trying to piece together his final few hours. There | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
was speculation that the killing of Stuart Walker was motivated by | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
homophobia, but police say there is nothing to indicate that is the | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
case. This afternoon some of Stuart's family visited the spot | 0:01:18 | 0:01:28 | |
0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | ||
where his body was found. Aileen This afternoon, Stewart Walker's | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
family came to lay flowers the where he was found. The grief and | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
pain almost too much to bear. Stewart was 28 years old, and the | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
life and soul of any party. But that zest for life was cruelly and | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
brutally cut short in the early hours of Saturday morning. I am | 0:01:48 | 0:01:55 | |
stunned that something like this could happen. To somebody like him. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:02 | |
I can only speak as I find. very polite boy. He used to come to | 0:02:02 | 0:02:09 | |
the House with my grandson, very polite boy. Couldn't have got a | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
nice a boy than him. Amongst those laying tributes, one woman recalled | 0:02:13 | 0:02:22 | |
that he had been beaten up before. He got battered the last time. His | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
mum went to rescue him and got an ambulance. He was found lying on | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
this roadside just before 5am. He was badly beaten, there were burn | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
marks on his body and he was pronounced dead shortly after being | 0:02:35 | 0:02:41 | |
found. Just last week he had started a new job at this far in | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
Kilmarnock. The manager told me that he had a really good | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
personality and was really good with the customers. This friend had | 0:02:50 | 0:02:58 | |
a text message from him on Wednesday. Laugh out loud, awesome. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:04 | |
Telos and Rona and them all that I am asking for them. Was he a fun | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
person to be around? One of the best, fun guys I've ever had the | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
chance to meet in my life. Know what matter what, every Monday | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
morning it was a pleasure going into work. He'd have the music on | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
and be on top of the world all the time. Thousands of people have now | 0:03:19 | 0:03:25 | |
logged on to a special Facebook tribute page for him. He was gay, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
but the police are not convinced that this stage that this was a | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
homophobic attack. There's an element of violence which is | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
uncommon. The motive for that we have yet to establish. Suffice to | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
say, a young man who had everything to live for has had his life | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
cruelly snatched away. We will do everything to bring those to book | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
who are responsible for this horrible crime. The police know | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
that Stewart was out on Friday night. He was last seen at around | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
2:30am beside the fire station in Cumnock. Where he was between there | 0:03:58 | 0:04:06 | |
and when he was found at 4:50am is what they are trying to find out. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:12 | |
It is an absolute and utter shock. Nobody can comprehend what has | 0:04:12 | 0:04:21 | |
happened to him. Nobody can believe this would happen. Our police any | 0:04:21 | 0:04:27 | |
nearer finding a motive for this killing? It's interesting because | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
the police are saying tonight that they are optimistic that they will | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
be able to solve this fairly soon. They say they write a number of | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
leads they are following up. Among those leaves may be the possibility | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
that Stewart actually knew his killer. Look at where we are | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
standing. This is a very lonely industrial estate. If you think | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
about this place in the early hours of a Saturday morning, it was | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
probably very lonely indeed, very quiet. It's not the kind of place | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
you would cut through to go to anywhere. Was it perhaps that he | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
came here to meet someone? The police are saying that they believe | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
his injuries that went on to kill him, those dreadfully violent, | 0:05:08 | 0:05:14 | |
brutal injuries, were inflicted here. That will be one line of | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
inquiry that the police will be following up tonight. It's | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
interesting that they are optimistic that they will manage to | 0:05:20 | 0:05:27 | |
solve this fairly soon. A majority of Scots say they don't feel | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
prepared for adverse weather conditions, such as the heavy snows | 0:05:29 | 0:05:35 | |
and prolonged freezes which have marked the last two winters. Today | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
the Scottish Government launched a campaign giving advice to help | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
reduce the risks if we're hit by another severe winter. Cameron | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
Buttle is at Edinburgh Airport for us tonight. Explain to us why you | 0:05:46 | 0:05:56 | |
0:05:56 | 0:05:56 | ||
are there, Cameron. These machines have been the backbone of the fight | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
to keep Edinburgh airport open every winter. There are five of | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
them. The past couple of winters have been so severe, they haven't | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
been enough. That's why Edinburgh airport is investing �2 million in | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
people and equipment, equipment like these state-of-the-art snow | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
blowers. That can shift more snow than ever before. So much snow fell | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
last winter, it was still lying about here in piles in May. This | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
machine is designed to smack through those hard-packed snow | 0:06:25 | 0:06:30 | |
drifts. The staff here aren't going to close again because of | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
severe weather. They are saying that if they have to clear it, they | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
can clear it twice as quick as before. It may be hard to think of | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
Arctic conditions already, but these pictures are sure to send a | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
shiver down your spine. It was a near constant battle to keep the | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
runway of Scotland's busiest airport open. Sometimes it was | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
simply not possible. Hopefully this year the fight will be a bit more | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
even. It was the continual snowfall, it was very challenging. One of the | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
biggest things, safety is paramount. With the amount of snow for we had | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
come a lot of aircraft can't perform in that level. It's about | 0:07:06 | 0:07:12 | |
being able to clear the runway quicker. In December be unthinkable | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
happened. The M8 was closed. It was chaos on the roads, thousands were | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
trapped in their cars all over central Scotland. It cost the | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
minister his job, it cost the economy. Huge parts of Scotland | 0:07:26 | 0:07:32 | |
near ground to a halt. These are space blankets, used in an | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
emergency to keep people warm - potential life-savers. These are | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
going to be distributed all over Scotland by the Red Cross. For | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
those caught in the chaos on the M8, it's enough to make sure that they | 0:07:45 | 0:07:51 | |
and hopefully others are prepared. I was in my car for about 15 hours | 0:07:51 | 0:07:58 | |
in the end. My phone battery died, my car battery diet -- died. It | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
wasn't the most pleasant experience. Do they, the Scottish Government | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
launched a campaign to encourage us all to get ready for whatever this | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
winter might throw at us. We know there is a willingness for people | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
to do what's necessary, to look after themselves and look after | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
their neighbours. We want to make sure that they know what it is they | 0:08:15 | 0:08:22 | |
have to do. Winter is coming in at Scotland. We are probably going to | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
see the likes of this again. You may hope for the best, but the | 0:08:25 | 0:08:32 | |
message is we should plan for the worst. There is lots of advice and | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
information out there now. The advice is to have a look at it now, | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
make your plans because the advice is doing now why you cannot you've | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
got time before it might be too late. Hopefully it won't be too | 0:08:43 | 0:08:48 | |
late, maybe we won't have that bad a winter. Scotland midfielder Barry | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
Bannan has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving. The 21- | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
year-old was travelling in a car which struck the central | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
Sunday morning. The Aston Villa player was also arrested on | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
suspicion of failing to stop at the scene of an accident. No other | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
vehicles were involved and no-one was injured. You're watching | 0:09:07 | 0:09:13 | |
Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come before seven, we look | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
at the little-known links between Scotland and modern-day weather | 0:09:15 | 0:09:22 | |
forecasting. And why more than 100 of the world's best-looking women | 0:09:22 | 0:09:28 | |
gathered in Perthshire field. In Sport, we can get the better of | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
Celtic's shaky defence, so says a Hibs striker. Jody Morris rules | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
himself out of the running for the St Johnstone job. And in good hands | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |

An inquest opened today into the death of an elderly woman from | 0:09:48 | 0:09:53 | |
Glasgow killed when an express train travelling at 95 mph derailed. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
Margaret Masson was travelling home with her daughter and son-in-law | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
when the train came off the tracks in Cumbria in 2007. A short time | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
ago we spoke to our correspondent Danny Savage, who has been at the | 0:10:04 | 0:10:13 | |
0:10:14 | 0:10:14 | ||
inquest. It was a dark winter's evening in February 2007, a Friday | 0:10:14 | 0:10:19 | |
night, when the 1715 service from London Euston to Glasgow came off | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
the tracks here in the embankment behind me, near Kendal in Cumbria. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |
It went over a set of points, causing the train to derail. It | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
stayed at break for some 300 metres before it came off the track, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
leaving the carriages scattered across a wide distance. The reason | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
we've been hearing about this today is its the inquest into the only | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
person who died that night, 84- year-old Margaret Masson. We heard | 0:10:43 | 0:10:48 | |
from her relatives who were on the train with her. Her daughter was | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
with her shouting, mum, mum! She was trying to help their elderly | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
mother. We also heard from her late husband, Richard Langley, who | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
described being thrown the 6 ft into the air during the crash. He | 0:11:01 | 0:11:07 | |
ended up wedged in by a table. Scenes of people being wedged under | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
seats and scattered across carriages in the moments that | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
followed the crash. The inquest also heard from the train driver, | 0:11:13 | 0:11:19 | |
Iain Black from Dumbarton. What were his recollections? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:24 | |
He took over as service drive that at Preston station. He described to | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
the court that the journey should have been easy. Driving at various | 0:11:28 | 0:11:34 | |
different speeds up to 125 mph. As he went over the points here and | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
the train began to do rail, he told the court without a shadow of a | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
doubt, I knew what I was in Big Bopper. The train jumped into the | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
air. He said he lost consciousness in the moments that followed, but | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
he then woke up again. He was wedged on top of the dashboard | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
under the windscreen looking back at my seat in the cab. I heard | 0:11:53 | 0:11:59 | |
screaming, I knew I was badly injured. But he still had the | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
presence of mind to pick up his mobile phone and place a call to | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
warn that there had been an accident and to get the line closed. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
He has finished giving evidence, but other people will be heard from | 0:12:08 | 0:12:17 | |
0:12:18 | 0:12:19 | ||
throughout his inquest, which is Amman is to stand trial in January | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
charged with the murder of his four-month-old baby daughter. 32- | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
year-old Craig Jamieson is alleged to have killed his daughter at a | 0:12:28 | 0:12:34 | |
flat in Glasgow on Dumbarton Road in February 2008. It is claimed he | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
inflicted blunt force trauma or her head and body weaving her so | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
ensured that he died later at Glasgow's Yorkhill Hospital. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
The trial has heard details of how a businessman was shot dead at a | 0:12:47 | 0:12:53 | |
flat in Kirkcaldy last year. Mohammed Nadeem Siddique died in | 0:12:53 | 0:12:59 | |
the flat owned by his brother. Mohammed Azam Siddique is one of | 0:12:59 | 0:13:06 | |
those charged. A tall ships event in Greenock this year generated | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
millions of pounds for the Scottish economy according to a recent | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
independent report. �10.4 million of revenue was | 0:13:14 | 0:13:20 | |
brought into heck -- Inverclyde, with a further �8.8 million going | 0:13:20 | 0:13:27 | |
to the West of Scotland. Memories of a nice day. 11 the | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
programme, we were telling you about the campaign to prepare us | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
for another harsh winter. But how do we know just how cold, windy or | 0:13:35 | 0:13:41 | |
wet it has been in comparison to rather years? Our correspondent has | 0:13:41 | 0:13:48 | |
been taking a look behind the weather map. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:54 | |
Snow, rain, wind and occasionally even warmth. He then Scotland we | 0:13:54 | 0:14:01 | |
are used to the ups and downs of the weather. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:06 | |
A stronger and gusty south-easterly breeze. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:11 | |
It is a complicated business predicting the future. It relies on | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
supercomputers crunching vast amounts of data. And to get it | 0:14:15 | 0:14:24 | |
right, we need to know how likely it is. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:32 | |
This monitoring station has a lot of history behind it. The | 0:14:32 | 0:14:39 | |
observatory stood quiet for many years. Its inhabitants took note of | 0:14:39 | 0:14:46 | |
Mother Nature's mood swings. The superintendent here started | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
work in the 1920s and produced a book about weather prediction, and | 0:14:51 | 0:14:57 | |
it is still the system we use today. In some ways, it could be described | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
as the birthplace of modern weather forecasting. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:08 | |
Today it is computers rather than pencils that recall the weather. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
Measurements are taken at scores of weather stations across Scotland | 0:15:12 | 0:15:18 | |
and new daytime is updated every minute. It has changed dramatically | 0:15:18 | 0:15:24 | |
in my 40 years. You did go out every hour to beat the thermometers | 0:15:24 | 0:15:32 | |
and so on, but nowadays, you just start checking the automatic | 0:15:32 | 0:15:40 | |
equipment is working properly. Nowadays, the humble balloon still | 0:15:40 | 0:15:47 | |
plays an essential role. This is a standard five inch copper ring | 0:15:47 | 0:15:53 | |
gauge. We pour the contents into this measuring cylinder. Predicting | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
the weather is never going to be easy and we will never get it right | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
all of the time. One thing is certain, it will always keep | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
changing. The Scottish Government is being | 0:16:06 | 0:16:12 | |
asked to establish a fund to support the video games industry. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
The industry association says a creative content fund would provide | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |
incentives for companies to stay in Scotland. The Scottish Government | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
says millions of pounds has already been provided. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:31 | |
Rangers have taken the Swedish international striker Jo Sise on | 0:16:31 | 0:16:38 | |
trial. He is out of contract with Swedish club Halmstads. Meanwhile, | 0:16:38 | 0:16:43 | |
Celtic captain Charlie Mulgrew says it is win at all costs. Victories | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
for the Old Firm yesterday means there is still 10 points between | 0:16:46 | 0:16:51 | |
the teams. For Celtic, today was about giving | 0:16:51 | 0:16:58 | |
and asking the fans to get behind their remembrance gesture. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:07 | |
Yesterday was all about taking. Three point was all that matter. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:12 | |
We do not think about the critics we just concentrate on our cells. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:21 | |
Hopefully we can keep winning, no matter how we do it. Charlie | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
Mulgrew's winner came after the Celtic defence had again been | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
penetrated rather be easily. That did not to detract from the | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
manager's admiration for his skipper. His improvement since | 0:17:33 | 0:17:39 | |
coming back here has been huge and it is a credit to him. He played | 0:17:39 | 0:17:45 | |
down south and then came back and never gave up on it. It is a great | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
achievement for him. Do not ask Charlie Mulgrew about personal | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
glory. Do you feel you have a chance of | 0:17:53 | 0:17:59 | |
being in Craig Levein's squat? is up to him and I will just keep | 0:17:59 | 0:18:06 | |
playing and concentrating on Celtic. Their rivals Rangers continue | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
undefeated at the top of the SPL table. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
St Johnstone captain Jody Morris has ruled himself out of the | 0:18:13 | 0:18:21 | |
running for the vacant manager's job at -- at McDiarmid Park. He has | 0:18:21 | 0:18:26 | |
made it clear he would like to carry on playing and a player | 0:18:26 | 0:18:35 | |
manager appointment is not a core. The Hibs striker Junior Agogo says | 0:18:35 | 0:18:40 | |
the Easter Road side could not Celtic out of the Community's leak | 0:18:40 | 0:18:46 | |
Cup because their defence is shaky. Junior Agogo says that head spore | 0:18:47 | 0:18:54 | |
into the game confident after a win over St Mirren on Saturday. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:59 | |
scored two goals. Coming back in the manner that we do it will give | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
us confidence. We will go into this game on Wednesday confident that we | 0:19:04 | 0:19:11 | |
can do a job. Before that League Cup tie, Second Division East Fife | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
are in action tomorrow night looking for another SPL scalp. They | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
go to Kilmarnock in their quarter final and after knocking out on | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
farmland and Aberdeen in previous rounds, all eyes are on them and | 0:19:24 | 0:19:34 | |

their goalkeeper, who has a knack Not one, not two, but three penalty | 0:19:41 | 0:19:50 | |
saves from East Fife goalkeeper Mark Bridges. What is his secret? | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
bit of a guessing game. I am a big lad, so I hoped that if I went the | 0:19:54 | 0:20:04 | |
0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | ||
right way, I would get something on them. He is on loan at the club | 0:20:07 | 0:20:14 | |
from Hearts. His manager, himself a former Tynecastle player, says that | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
the experience he is gathering will serve him well when he returns to | 0:20:18 | 0:20:23 | |
Edinburgh. It will stand him in good stead because he is going back | 0:20:23 | 0:20:28 | |
to challenge some very good goalkeepers there. There might be | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
an opening for Mark. The Hearts goal keepers are in for a challenge | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
of when he goes back. The East Fife strikers have also | 0:20:37 | 0:20:43 | |
had their shooting boots on. They are confident they could take | 0:20:43 | 0:20:49 | |
another SPL scalp. We know that if we play well on the day, anything | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
could happen, so hopefully come Tuesday night, we can repeat what | 0:20:54 | 0:21:00 | |
happened at Pittodrie. Scenes of joy from the East Fife faithful in | 0:21:00 | 0:21:10 | |

the last round, with dreams of a More than 100 of the best-looking | 0:21:14 | 0:21:19 | |
women in the world gather in Crete today. You can imagine there was | 0:21:19 | 0:21:24 | |
little reticence among my male colleagues to cover this story | 0:21:24 | 0:21:29 | |

them are struggling with the temperatures. That was the main | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
question I got, will Scotland be called? | 0:22:16 | 0:22:23 | |
The competition has been going for many years. At its peak, more than | 0:22:23 | 0:22:30 | |

studying for a degree, many of them are already have a degree, and half | 0:22:50 | 0:22:55 | |
of them speak three or more languages. The woman at the helm of | 0:22:55 | 0:23:01 | |
the Miss World competition insists that the competition is keeping up | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
with the times. We do not get caught up in the weather we are | 0:23:05 | 0:23:10 | |
more important than men. We should respect each other. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:16 | |
Those taking part today looked like they were enjoying themselves. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
It is a bit cold that you cannot see that in the photos. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:27 | |
