Hundreds of mourners gathered in Helensburgh this morning for the | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
funeral of Thomas and Bridget Sharkey, the brother and sister who | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
were murdered when their home was deliberately set on fire. Bridget | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
was eight and Thomas was 21 when they died at the end of July. Their | :01:16. | :01:26. | |

Fair rived in their hundreds. Lining the streets once the church | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
was filled. All here to pay their respects to a brother and sister | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
who played such a large part in this town. Their mother Angela, the | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
sole survivor of the fire, was composed, as she and others | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
prepared to say goodbye. What you say to a mother who has lost two | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
children and a husband? Angela herself said, there are no words. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Actions speak louder than words and she got lots of action from homes | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
for people. They were wonderful in rallying round to help a. These | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
words and tributes have been some comfort to the family, but for some | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
friends, the burden of grief proved overwhelming. Those he knew | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Pritchett described her as a beautiful girl with a beautiful | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
personality. Everybody has been saying, she was lovely, she was | :02:27. | :02:32. | |

nonsense, she was never quiet. is that former family home which | :02:39. | :02:43. | |

when the killer is caught. Campbell Christie, the former | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
General Secretary of the Scottish TUC, has died at the age of 74. He | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
headed the organisation from 1986 to 1998 and led them through | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
probably the most challenging period in Scotland's industrial | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
history. But he also became a respected and popular figure right | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
across Scottish civic life. Reevel Alderson looks back at the life of | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
Campbell Christie. Campbell Christie became leader of | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
the STUC as Scottish industry underwent radical changes. Titanic | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
institutions like the Ravenscraig steelworks were under threat, the | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
miners' dispute had ended. whole episode could and should have | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
been handled better by us all. was a pragmatist, capable of | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
delivering tough messages to colleagues and industry leaders. | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
Scotland has lost a giant. He fought as stem the tide of | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
industrialisation in Scotland, but he also sought political progress | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
through a Scottish parliament. He was instrumental in the building up | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
of civic support for that concept. Campbell Christie saw his role | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
wider than industrial relations. He led opposition to the poll tax. And | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
the celebrated of the Yes vote in the devolution referendum, which | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
she played a significant role in achieving. He was willing to talk | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
to political enemies, addressing the Tory national council meeting, | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
the first STUC leader to do so for a generation. I got on with them | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
very well. I like him, he was amusing. He could oppose you | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
without any acrimony. I was very keen to listen to what he had to | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
say. He will be sadly missed convey our big boots to flow. Last year, | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
Campbell Christie return to political life to share an | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
independent commission to make recommendations for the delivery of | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
public services. It was a final example of is on public service. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
all but Campbell did, the overwhelming objective was to put | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
the STUC at the heart of Scottish political life. He achieved that, I | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
think. Away from politics, Campbell Christie was chairman of Falkirk | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
Football Club. Reset enough to be played in the Scottish Cup final. | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
There will be a minute's silence at tomorrow's home game. Within the | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
last hour Police in Ayrshire have arrested a man in connection with | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
the death of Stuart Walker, the 28- year-old man whose mutilated body | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
was found in Cumnock in the early hours of Saturday morning. Catriona | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Renton is there for us now. Catriona, bring us up-to-date with | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
developments tonight. We have just heard that an 18-year-old man has | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
been charged in connection with the death of Stuart Walker. We're on | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
their industrial estate where his body was found just before or 5 | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
o'clock on Saturday morning. Police described his injuries as | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
absolutely horrific. He was badly beaten and bound. Stuart Walker was | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
openly gay. There has been speculation that he was the victim | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
of a homophobic crime. Police have said that while they were not | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
ruling that out, there was no reason to believe that was the case. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
It emerged yesterday that Stuart Walker had been investigated by | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
staff out police over an alleged indecent assault of a 12-year-old | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
boy back in August. Our report was sent to the Procurator Fiscal. But | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
police are saying there is no reason to link this incident with | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
his death. The 18-year-old who has been charged is expected to appear | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
in the Sheriff Court on Monday morning. You're watching Reporting | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Scotland from the BBC. Still to come before seven... The Labour | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Party here faces years in opposition unless it learns from it | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
defeat by the SNP, warns a candidate in the Scottish | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
leadership contest. In sport: showdown talks are | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
planned between Dundee United's manager and chairman. Details to | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
follow. And is it shinty - or is it hurling? It's a bit of both - and | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
Scotland are playing Ireland The clocks go back an hour this | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
weekend, which means the nights will get darker. But could they get | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
even darker than usual this winter? Well, they might, because some | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
councils, in an effort to save cash, will be dimming their street lights | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
in the wee small hours or even turning some off altogether. Our | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
local government correspondent Jamie McIvor ought to be able to | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
shine some light on the subject. Jamie. Well as Glasgow grows dark, | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
the lights are coming on all across the city just as they're coming on | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
all across Scotland just now. We take the streetlights for granted - | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
most of us have come to expect them to be shining out all through the | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
night. But when councils face cuts - they're bound to look for savings | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
:08:32. | :08:32. | ||
wherever they can. From space, it is clear how a man can turn night | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
into day. Urban areas are a sea of light. As darkness falls, tens of | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
thousands of street lights flick into life, but at a cost to | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
councils. In some parts of the Western Isles, money has been saved | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
by turning the lights off at midnight. Last year through | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
consultations with communities over the budget, there was general | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
agreement that there were areas of street lighting Burry could cut | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
around the times they were on. There has been at high except as a | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
having unnecessary lighting on was not an efficient use of resources. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
The complete overnight blackout would be out of the question in | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
most of the country, but in this village close to neo- and every | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
second light has been turned off and other ideas have been trailed | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
across the Highlands. Where switching all the lights off in | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
some locations between midnight and 6 o'clock and the morning. We heard | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Domingo some of the lights and we are actually switching off every | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
will turn it light, so three trials to try and understand which is | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
going to be best for us. In Angus, some lights are dimmed after | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
midnight. In the Borders, they could consider in dimming in the | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
future. But what is right in one place may cause concern in other | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
places, as we discovered in Inverness. People are out late at | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
night, so it is important they should keep the lights going. | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
People will be getting mugged and attacked. You're thinking of the | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
safety of people rather than money. You cannot put a price on someone's | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
life. Just to make the point - there are no plans to turn off | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
lights in any major urban areas. In fact - the amount that can | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
realistically be saved by reducing street lighting is a relatively | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
small part of any council's budget. But as well as saving cash - the | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
argument is that cutting the energy bill or investing in more efficient | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
lighting systems is also good for the environment. Scottish Labour | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
faces years in opposition unless it learns the lessons of its | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
disastrous election defeat at the hands of the SNP last May. That's | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
the message from all three of the contenders to replace Iain Gray as | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
leader of the party. Our political reporter Andrew Black has been | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
:11:08. | :11:12. | ||
speaking to all of them. Andy care, 12,410. Election night and as the | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
SNP won by a landslide, key Labour figures lost their seats and while | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
party the debt Ian Gray managed to hang on, he knew his leadership was | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
over. Today, the first of his would-be successors launched his | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
leadership bid. Ken Mackintosh says Labour must be honest with itself. | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
I think our party needs to change. We have had a disastrous election | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
results in May this year. If we continue like that, we will | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
continue to lose votes and consign ourselves to years of opposition. | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
We need to start talking positively about what we believe in. Quiet and | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
told people about the lives and how we can make a difference. Joanna | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Lamond is currently the Deputy Leader and she has announced her | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
intention to stand. The former minister says how party cannot go | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
on as it is. In 2007, there was a sense that we had not really lost. | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
Over a period of time, people have lost faith in us. Get is a third | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
candidate. MP Tom Harris has to win at Quarry Road seat if he becomes | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
the winner. I really want to grab the Labour Party by the scruff of | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
its neck and shake some sense into it. We have let down the Scottish | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
people. Be delivered devolution, which was fantastic and then more | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
are less walked away from it. We gave it evolution no more thought. | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
The Scottish people are not daft. The contest will take a step | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
forward this weekend when the candidates come to the concert hall | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
for the hustings debate. Labour hopes it will be an important step | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
forward in the healing process of the party, but with the SNP | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
currently in high spirits and a referendum around the corner, | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
:13:17. | :13:17. | ||
Labour knows it has a tough road Scotland is to have a new airline | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
close to Aberdeen. The price is understood to be more than �20 | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
million. A consortium has plans for a rebrand of BMI with the new | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
Scottish name and expansion of the network. | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
A modern investigation is underway in East Renfrewshire after a man | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
was shot dead last night. 48-year- old John Finnigan was approached by | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
a man and shot. He was taken to the southern general but died. Police | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
believe he may have been targeted deliberately. | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
A murder inquiry has been launched after a 36-year-old woman was found | :13:56. | :14:06. | |
:14:06. | :14:06. | ||
dead in her flat in Thornliebank. Lynne Small was found there on | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Thursday evening. Police are appealing for anybody who saw her | :14:10. | :14:19. | |
between the 24th and 26th October. A group of crime writers have | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
swapped the best seller list for an unusual popularity contest - having | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
a new mortuary named after them. The morbid prize is part of a | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
campaign to raise money for a new facility in Dundee. A warning, this | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
report contains images you may find unsettling. A typical scene in the | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
life of Professor Sue Black. She is demystifying DEFRA this group of | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
anatomy students. For this for inject anthropologist at the more | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
to it is her place of work but also a gateway to the parallel universe | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
of crime fiction. -- the mortuary. She has a rare ability to put | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
:15:13. | :15:16. | ||
things in lay persons of terms. The million for a more campaign is | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
:15:26. | :15:26. | ||
a chance for crime writers to give something back. -- Million For a | :15:26. | :15:35. | |
Morgue. The winner will have the mortuary named after them. | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
I am not sure I want it named after me? If I get close eye might dip | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :15:55. | ||
into my own pocket to have it named after one of my colleagues! | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
Some body the other day said this is the most important thing | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
happening to anatomy in the UK. I do not think that is an over | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
exaggeration. The opportunities we have in research and training and | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
education are limited only by the imagination. | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
The shell of the new mortuary is already taking place thanks to | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
money provided by university. If the campaign matches that the hope | :16:24. | :16:31. | |
is that the new laboratories will be running by next March. | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
The First Minister has been criticised by a judge for comments | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
he made about a campaign are opposing the Aberdeen by pass. An | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
appeal by campaigners will go ahead luck next month after it was agreed | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
that their costs would be covered when a loose. But Judge Osborne | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
said that Alex Salmond was in very thin ground when he said that a | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
protester was holding Scotland to ransom. | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
The Dundee United manager Peter Houston says that he will meet the | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
club chairmen to discuss his future after their Premier League match at | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
the weekend. Yesterday he said that he wanted his chairman to back him | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
publicly after newspaper reports claimed he was facing the sack. Two | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
sees as a got the silver where was shining and all in the Dundee | :17:20. | :17:27. | |
United garden was rosy. -- two seasons ago. Now it appears the | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
manager's job is on the line. I will be chatting to the chairman. | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
I'm sure he will want to chat with If all is not well then the BBC has | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
learned that it will cost the club almost �200,000 for Peter Houston | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
to shake hands and walk away. My record is decent. | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
But decent enough to save his job? The record suggests perhaps not. If | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
he lost at the weekend to Dunfermline, which he have a real | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
problem? You will need to ask the chairman. | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
But what do you think? That you need to ask him. | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
Neil Lennon says that he enjoys the stresses and strains of being a | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
football boss. Here he as at training today. After a dip in form | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
of the club have won their last couple of matches. Neil Lennon says | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
he has no problem dealing with the pressure. | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
I really enjoy it. I do not take notice of criticism. I am aware of | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
it. But they do not take it personally. We are not through the | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
woods yet. There is work to be done. But I enjoy seeing the team attempt | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
to turn things around. A novel sporting event now. A mash | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
up between shinty and hurling. Scotland will play Ireland in an | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
international in Inverness. It is the second leg of a challenge match | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
and Scotland must overcome a five. Deficit from bit first leg in | :19:14. | :19:23. | |
County Kildare. Weaving together rules from both sports means that | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
it will be an interesting contest. Results are suggesting that the | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
compromise rules do work with honours fairly evenly matched. A | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
goal is three points and a shot between the Rugby like post means a | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
point. But the Irish have had their wings clipped elsewhere. | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
In our game we can pick it up and catch it. But we have disadvantaged | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
by the fact we cannot in this game. Another disadvantage is that if we | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
kept the ball it is deemed a technical three. Whereas here we | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
must prevent that. Comparing the clubs gives you an | :20:05. | :20:15. | |
:20:15. | :20:19. | ||
indication of the difference in the Games. Shinty is nowhere near as | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
popular as hurling is in Ireland. But both sets of players regard | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
