The murder of a Glasgow couple in Pakistan - police there confirm

their treating it as an honour killing. Scotland's head in

disability - how the number of epilepsy cases is higher than

:00:30.:00:36.

previously thought. It needs to be less of a taboo subject. People do

:00:36.:00:43.

not know enough and it is like, let us not talk about it, then.

:00:43.:00:47.

And hence unveil their new manager - Irishman Pat Fenlon says he is

:00:47.:00:51.

looking forward to the challenge. And the man who single-handedly

:00:51.:00:55.

built a road on the Isle of Raasay with his bare hands. And you play

:00:55.:01:02.

tells his story. Police in Pakistan have confirmed

:01:02.:01:05.

they are treating the murder of a couple from Glasgow as an honour

:01:05.:01:11.

killing. Saif Rehman and his wife Uzma Naurin were on a shopping trip

:01:11.:01:14.

when their car was ambushed and they were both shot.

:01:14.:01:19.

They were shot dead and left by the side of the road. Police in

:01:19.:01:24.

Pakistan say they are treating the murders as honour killings. They

:01:24.:01:29.

say tensions over this marriage is a line of inquiry in the

:01:29.:01:34.

investigation. Police say they want to speak to Uzma Naurin's father,

:01:34.:01:44.
:01:44.:01:56.

who left for America two days after Saif Rehman's family say that his

:01:56.:01:59.

wife's family had been unhappy with the marriage but that he had

:01:59.:02:03.

attended the wedding ceremony and that the Cup and it -- another

:02:03.:02:09.

couple appeared to have resolved their differences with Uzma

:02:09.:02:15.

Naurin's family. There are a lot of unanswered questions. Why was the

:02:15.:02:19.

father not there at the funeral? Why did he not claim the body in

:02:19.:02:29.
:02:29.:02:36.

Pakistan? Why did he not contact Saif Rehman's family if? I spoke to

:02:36.:02:42.

her father on the phone and he said that he was very sad about the

:02:42.:02:48.

death. Police are investigating claims

:02:48.:02:54.

that a hospital cleaner contacted a female patient on Facebook after

:02:54.:03:03.

she was treated at the Royal Infirmary. Today, NHS Lothian say

:03:03.:03:06.

they are confident that the man did not access medical records.

:03:06.:03:10.

It is believed the women came to an accident and emergency for

:03:10.:03:15.

treatment after breaking her fingers. And an exchange of

:03:15.:03:25.
:03:25.:03:36.

messages, the man is reported to The women reported the exchange to

:03:36.:03:41.

NHS Lothian and they have carried out a review of their security

:03:41.:03:51.
:03:51.:03:53.

It is thought the cleaner got the name from a floor plan. It shows

:03:53.:03:58.

how easy it is to use social networking to contact you buy just

:03:58.:04:03.

knowing your name. The implications in a hospital are worrying. And

:04:03.:04:08.

social media experts say that more probably, it is a reminder for

:04:09.:04:12.

anyone working in a professional pass could -- capacity to think

:04:13.:04:18.

twice about what the post. It is very difficult to delete after you

:04:18.:04:23.

have posted it. It could spread, it could have gone beyond. You do need

:04:23.:04:27.

to think before you speak and perhaps more so than you do

:04:27.:04:31.

normally. The hospital cleaner remain suspended and the police

:04:31.:04:41.

investigation is ongoing. Still to come... We will be live at

:04:41.:04:45.

Gordon Castle, which is about to open its doors on more than 500

:04:45.:04:49.

years of history. And in sport, Hibernian have a new

:04:49.:04:53.

manager, we will be hearing from him. And couldn't Aberdeen should

:04:53.:04:57.

junior side pull off the upset of the football season so far? --

:04:57.:05:03.

could they? The number of people suffering from

:05:03.:05:07.

epilepsy in Scotland is much higher than previously thought. Figures

:05:07.:05:12.

obtained by BBC Scotland reveal that there are now 54,000 people in

:05:12.:05:18.

Scotland living with the condition, up from 39,000 in just six years.

:05:18.:05:23.

At one time, when I was really bad. I thought I was a curse to

:05:23.:05:28.

everybody. My family included and my mother. I said to a doctor, I

:05:28.:05:33.

will call from every hospital from here to John o' Groats and I were

:05:33.:05:39.

getting somewhere. That was 50 years ago. Now, it is one person in

:05:39.:05:46.

97. But some of the stigma still remains. This girl feels there is

:05:46.:05:50.

not enough support available. would like to see more learning and

:05:50.:05:56.

more support about epilepsy. People need to learn and it needs to be

:05:56.:06:04.

less of a taboo subject. The more you know about it, the more you'll

:06:04.:06:08.

be able to support someone who has epilepsy. The school children are

:06:08.:06:13.

being taught the fact about the condition. The last couple of years

:06:13.:06:19.

have seen a huge rise in the number of epileptics. The reasons are

:06:19.:06:29.
:06:29.:06:32.

Epilepsy charity's sake services are already overstretched. We have

:06:32.:06:36.

half the number of epilepsy specialist nurses that they want to

:06:36.:06:42.

have. We have 33 in post at the moment. They are not all full-time.

:06:42.:06:47.

It is the equivalent of 29 full time. To cover 54,000 across

:06:47.:06:53.

Scotland, that is not enough. BBC has found that only to health

:06:53.:06:57.

boards in Scotland say they are currently meeting national

:06:57.:07:00.

guidelines that say that patients should be referred to a specialist

:07:00.:07:04.

within two weeks of their first seizure. I would like to reassure

:07:04.:07:09.

patients that there is a very good level of clinical care. There is

:07:09.:07:13.

clearly more progress that we need to make in order to make sure that

:07:13.:07:20.

those services at a higher standard that possibly can be. Epilepsy is a

:07:20.:07:25.

difficult diagnosis to get right. Up to 30% of people are wrongly

:07:25.:07:32.

diagnosed. This cost 20 warm it -- this cost �24 million in Scotland

:07:32.:07:34.

last year. Campaigners know it is not a good

:07:34.:07:39.

time to ask for extra cash but they argue that the money saved through

:07:39.:07:44.

properly diagnosing epilepsy could be targeted in future to providing

:07:44.:07:48.

services to those who really need them.

:07:48.:07:58.
:07:58.:08:03.

The Scottish Secretary, Michael Moore, says that �100 million will

:08:03.:08:07.

be made available in Scotland to encourage employers to take on

:08:07.:08:14.

young people as part of the UK's government's initiative to target

:08:14.:08:20.

young people. Politicians here are giving it a guarded response.

:08:20.:08:26.

These people are looking for full- time paid work. There is a helping

:08:26.:08:29.

a community project to transform a derelict building, but they also

:08:29.:08:34.

want to be earning a living. It is fair enough been trained, but if

:08:34.:08:37.

you are being trained in not getting a job at the end of it,

:08:37.:08:42.

there is no point in it. It is making it harder for you. He had

:08:42.:08:49.

spent all those years training but there is nothing at the end of it.

:08:49.:08:54.

100,000 Scott between 18 and 24 are looking for work. Today's

:08:54.:09:03.

announcement will see Westminster provide money to target the young

:09:03.:09:10.

player -- young people. We hope that thousands of young Scots will

:09:10.:09:18.

see the benefits of this directly. Either through going into jobs or

:09:19.:09:22.

through work experience. Scottish government will get an

:09:23.:09:28.

extra �6 million per year. It says this is welcome, but limited. It

:09:28.:09:31.

already has schemes to help young people into work. These include

:09:31.:09:36.

modern apprenticeships and I guarantee that teenagers can get

:09:36.:09:44.

training or education. Unions here are being guarded in their response

:09:44.:09:49.

to Westminster's initiative. Anything that will stop young

:09:49.:09:56.

people are spending a long time unemployed will be beneficial. But

:09:56.:10:02.

a long-term difference will come when we get the economy moving,

:10:02.:10:08.

creating full-time, decent jobs. Whenever jobs are hard to find, I

:10:08.:10:13.

can be especially tough for young people. Training, work placements

:10:13.:10:17.

and the short term jobs can be a real help, but permanent jobs have

:10:17.:10:23.

to be there before young people can find them.

:10:23.:10:28.

Some of the other stories across Scotland. Motorists in Ireland

:10:28.:10:33.

communities will save 5p on a litre of petrol from next March. Danny

:10:33.:10:38.

Alexander has announced he has finally received European Union

:10:38.:10:43.

clearance to operate the proposed rural fuel rebate. It will apply to

:10:43.:10:48.

petrol retailers on all of Scotland's Islands and the will be

:10:48.:10:52.

able to claim the rebate in advance. Work has started on the first of

:10:52.:10:58.

six huge bunkers which will be used to store radioactive material in

:10:58.:11:06.

the decommission Dounreay site. They will be packed into drums and

:11:06.:11:09.

buried in concrete while the radioactive material decays over

:11:09.:11:13.

the next 300 years. The Scottish footballer Barry

:11:13.:11:18.

Bannan has been banned from driving for the next 18 months and fined

:11:19.:11:22.

three-and a-half -- for a have �1,000 after admitting drink and

:11:22.:11:27.

driving last month. The court heard he was almost twice the legal

:11:27.:11:31.

alcohol limit as he crashed his car into a barrier on the M1.

:11:31.:11:36.

It is 50 years since thalidomide was taken off the shelves. The drug

:11:36.:11:40.

was withdrawn after thousands of women who took it gave birth to

:11:40.:11:44.

disabled children. One academic in Scotland is researching links

:11:44.:11:50.

between thalidomide and Nazi Germany.

:11:51.:11:56.

When a spate of deformed children were first-born in the 1950s, no

:11:56.:12:00.

one guessed because could be a drug given to pregnant women to ease

:12:00.:12:10.
:12:10.:12:10.

morning sickness. Stephen's mum took it just once. She took them,

:12:10.:12:14.

they did not make much difference and did not go back for any more.

:12:14.:12:18.

She just put up with the morning sickness. Three polls and she has

:12:18.:12:25.

lived with the guilt all these years. -- three pills. He was born

:12:25.:12:32.

with one problems and has had over 40 major operations. When I look at

:12:32.:12:37.

my friends and I think what I could have done with my life, this

:12:37.:12:43.

appointed as a good way to put it. 50 years on, an academic at Glasgow

:12:43.:12:49.

University is looking into the drop's passed. It was tested on

:12:49.:12:54.

concentration-camp inmates. Did the manufacturer know more about the

:12:54.:12:58.

drop's effects than it was prepared to admit in a court case in the

:12:58.:13:08.
:13:08.:13:09.

Declaimed the taster did drugs only on mice and that they had lost all

:13:09.:13:16.

the results. If you look at the patent, it gives a level of detail.

:13:17.:13:23.

It is implausible that they did not know something about the effects.

:13:23.:13:33.
:13:33.:13:43.

It says that it can pay -- campaigns against the Nazi movement.

:13:43.:13:53.
:13:53.:13:55.

After 50 years and a catastrophe, More than 500 years of history will

:13:55.:13:59.

soon be on public view for the first time. Gordon Castle in

:13:59.:14:09.
:14:09.:14:09.

Fochabers will throw its doors open for the first time. A well, and a

:14:09.:14:18.

homely estate on a cold day. -- welcome. This is the ancestral home

:14:18.:14:25.

of the Duke of cordon. A private place for the last 600 cheers. Next

:14:26.:14:30.

week the front doors will be open to the public for the very first

:14:30.:14:38.

time. It has been hidden from view for hundreds of years. But now

:14:38.:14:45.

Gordon Castle is welcoming visitors. For the Lennox family who live is

:14:45.:14:53.

here the decision to open his about connecting with the locals.

:14:53.:14:56.

We would like it to continue to be part of the local community. This

:14:56.:15:02.

is part of the process. Events, but the celebrations, we would like

:15:02.:15:09.

people to know that the house is open.

:15:09.:15:14.

The original house from the 14th century was close to half a mile-

:15:14.:15:22.

long but most of it has gone. A victim of age and neglect.

:15:22.:15:27.

The roof's all came down in the main house and there was dry rot.

:15:27.:15:36.

It was beyond repair. This model shows the original size.

:15:36.:15:42.

But 30 rooms and the central tower still remain. And of course the

:15:42.:15:51.

Bank of the River Spey. This is the place to come true to relax. -- to

:15:51.:16:01.
:16:01.:16:01.

come to. 300 people have so far booked a guided tour. They began on

:16:01.:16:11.
:16:11.:16:15.

dusty next week. -- the begin on Hibernian have a new manager, Pat

:16:15.:16:19.

Fenlon. The chairman claimed that he got the job because he is a

:16:19.:16:27.

winner. He joins from Irish side Bohemians. He claims he is ready

:16:27.:16:31.

for our -- for the biggest challenge of his career. A new dawn

:16:31.:16:38.

for Hibernian. And a boss who is ready for the challenge.

:16:38.:16:43.

This is a massive football club and a great opportunity for me to

:16:43.:16:50.

improve. He is the club's eight manager in

:16:50.:16:54.

10 years. The chairman says he will continue to hire and fire if he

:16:54.:17:04.
:17:04.:17:05.

believes it is right for the club. The key performances -- key

:17:05.:17:09.

performance indicators are Cup semi-finals, finals, playing in

:17:09.:17:14.

Europe, that all features higher than the number of managers there

:17:14.:17:23.

have been. Supporters say the new man has a

:17:23.:17:33.
:17:33.:17:35.

large job on his hands. He has a lot of work to do.

:17:35.:17:39.

The last time we played good football was as far back as Alex

:17:39.:17:46.

McLeish. This new man knows that to keep the

:17:46.:17:55.

job his team must start winning. If you do not succeed it is like

:17:55.:18:04.

any job. You do not stay in it. He will be in the stand for the

:18:04.:18:11.

weekend but his first day in charge will be Monday.

:18:11.:18:16.

Neil Lennon claims he regrets reacting angrily to a supporter

:18:16.:18:20.

after the final whistle after his club's victory over Dunfermline. He

:18:20.:18:26.

admits that the comments of some supporters can be hard to take.

:18:26.:18:32.

I am annoyed that myself. It was something I should not have done.

:18:32.:18:35.

But I am also annoyed that the comments that were coming in the

:18:35.:18:44.

direction of the players. People suffer from amnesia sometimes.

:18:44.:18:49.

Rangers have taken to Indian internationals on trial. They are

:18:50.:18:55.

Sunil Chhetri and Jeje Lalpekhlua. -- two Indian internationals. They

:18:55.:18:59.

will train with the club for the first time on Monday. Rangers

:18:59.:19:03.

attempting to establish themselves as a brand on the Indian sub-

:19:03.:19:13.
:19:13.:19:13.

continent. Aberdeen-based junior side Cooter

:19:13.:19:18.

will be in Glasgow at the weekend hoping to create the biggest upset

:19:18.:19:24.

of the Scottish Cup competition so far. They will take on Partick

:19:24.:19:31.

Thistle. Few gave the team a chance when they took them on her lair.

:19:31.:19:38.

But after nine minutes -- her lair. After nine minutes, Partick Thistle

:19:38.:19:48.
:19:48.:19:50.

took the lead. But then Cooter equalised.

:19:50.:20:00.
:20:00.:20:02.

I was over the moon. It was a good finish.

:20:02.:20:08.

The players have trained for two nights this week ahead of the

:20:08.:20:16.

Barrhill replay. Their manager is a former Partick Thistle player. --

:20:16.:20:26.
:20:26.:20:26.

the Fair Hill replay. We are not just making up the

:20:26.:20:32.

numbers. We will try to upset them, unsettle them. If we get an early

:20:32.:20:37.

game then their supporters might turn on the team. That is what the

:20:37.:20:46.

plan to do. Scotland are up just one shot off

:20:46.:20:54.

the lead at the World Cup of Golf in China. Martin Laird and Stephen

:20:54.:21:02.

Gallagher went four under par for their second round. Had this part

:21:02.:21:12.
:21:12.:21:13.

gone in they would have been joint leaders with Australia and Ireland.

:21:13.:21:17.

He battled local authorities for years and when they would not build

:21:17.:21:23.

a wrote to his island home, Calum MacLeod picked up a shovel and

:21:23.:21:28.

built the road himself. He has since inspired songs and books, and

:21:28.:21:33.

now a new play which will be performed on his home island of

:21:33.:21:43.
:21:43.:21:45.

Raasay. You cannot get here. How long have

:21:45.:21:54.

you petition for a road? Calum MacLeod was single-minded in

:21:54.:21:57.

his determination and when the authorities would not build a road

:21:57.:22:04.

he did so himself. But it is more than just a story. This is the

:22:04.:22:08.

actual road. Now the National Theatre of Scotland will bring that

:22:08.:22:14.

story back to his home island of Raasay. His daughter was in the

:22:14.:22:19.

audience today. He built the road to enable her to get back from

:22:19.:22:26.

school from neighbouring sky. The others at school could return

:22:26.:22:36.
:22:36.:22:38.

home every weekend. I could not. It took him two years to build up

:22:38.:22:46.

the two mile stretch with just basic equipment.

:22:46.:22:51.

There was no way you could think that any person on his own could

:22:52.:23:01.
:23:02.:23:04.

build that road. Part of the fascination of the

:23:05.:23:09.

story is find the out of what motivated a man in his 60s and 70s

:23:10.:23:14.

to navigate some of the most unforgiving terrain in Europe to

:23:14.:23:23.

build a stretch of road. Today there are people living at

:23:23.:23:27.

the north end of the island linked by a road which continues to

:23:27.:23:37.
:23:37.:23:39.

And now the weather. Here are pictures of this no arriving in the

:23:39.:23:48.

north-east. But is at the end of the snow? Forget snow, wind will be

:23:48.:23:54.

the main thing this weekend. The wet weather will continue and there

:23:54.:24:00.

is an amber warning from the Met Office for severe gales. Tonight,

:25:13.:25:18.

you are a hell walking or climbing, these are wind speeds say it all.

:25:18.:25:23.

In excess of 90 miles per hour in some places. You can barely stand

The top stories: police in Pakistan are treating the killing of a

:26:30.:26:34.

couple from Glasgow as an honour killing. They were on a shopping

:26:34.:26:40.

trip when their car was ambushed and they were both shot. Heathrow

Airport has warned of gridlock next Wednesday when immigration officers
