Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news: I | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
have been to a lot of war zones and famine camps. | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
The Scottish aid worker kidnapped at gunpoint in Pakistan. I think he | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
will try to remain as calm as possible, work with the people and | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
my only hope is they do not hurt him. His friends are hoping he'll | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
be safe. The police in Pakistan say they still don't know who the | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
kidnappers are. Later in the programme: | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Ambulance workers reject an offer to end a dispute about call-outs | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
during their meal breaks. Not quite plain sailing for the | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Royal Yacht, as Britannia springs a leak in Leith. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
And here come the giant-killers. Football's small fry are dreaming | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
:01:04. | :01:05. | ||
Police in Pakistan still don't know who kidnapped a Dumfries-based aid | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
worker near the country's border with Afghanistan or why he was | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
taken. Khalil Dale, a health programme manager with the Red | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Cross, was taken from a clearly marked Red Cross car in the city of | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Quetta. Friends here described the former nurse as a wonderful man, | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
who always wanted to help. Willie Johnston reports. | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
I have been to a lot of war zones, cholera camps... Khalil Dale is no | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
stranger to danger, his whole life was involved in humanitarian work | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
in the world's volatile spots. In this documentary, he recalled a | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
dramatic time in so much earlier. was overwhelmed, I have never seen | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
anything like it, bodies, people that have stopped of starvation, | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
shot wounds, young children, women, waiting to dive. For the past 11 | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
months, Khalil Dale worked for the Red Cross in Quetta, near | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Pakistan's Afghan border. Local police say he was snatched by on | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
the gunman who heard -- held up the car he was travelling in, only the | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
few yards from the safety of his office. He was 60, made an MBE in | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
1994. His Scottish-based was Dumfries where his mother lived | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
until her death for might years ago. Friends here are shocked by his | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
kidnapping. He once worked at Dumfries Infirmary and was known as | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
Ken before his conversion to Islam. Ken is a wonderful man. He always | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
wanted to help in situations and that is what drove him into to work | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
all over the world, where there was serious situations and people | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
needing help. I am more worried for him but I able hope and pray and | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
light a candle he will be fine but. He will come through this. | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
identity of Khalil Dale's captures is not yet known. -- captors. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
A little earlier, I got the latest from the BBC's correspondent in | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Islamabad, Aleem Maqbool. I began by asking whether there'd been any | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
progress today in tracking down the kidnappers. Unfortunately, publicly | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
at least, the police have given us nothing new in terms of where the | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
investigation has led them. We are still getting the statements from | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
them about what they believe happened when Khalil Dale was first | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
taken in the centre of Quetta. It was in the red zone, an area that | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
was supposed to be secure, but this is a big as part of Afghanistan and | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
most foreign aid workers have left that area and Khalil Dale was | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
snatched at gunpoint from his car a couple of hundred metres away from | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
the Red Cross offices and that he had been working there for some | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
time with the Red Cross. They say they are investigating, the High | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
Commission are also looking into it, but there are very few details. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Foreigners have been kidnapped already in this area, so what can | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
we learn from how these situations developed? That is right. A couple | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
of years ago now in 2009, the last high-profile aid worker was | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
kidnapped in Quetta, in a very similar area to Khalil Dale. That | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
was you when worker, and he was released after a couple of months. | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
-- that was a UN worker. They wanted money to raise funds for | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
their cause. That is what a lot of kidnappers want. A lot of | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Pakistanis get kidnapped around Quetta. But it could be a kidnap | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
for ideological reasons as well because the Taliban also operate | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
there. But this is all speculation because as yet we have not had | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
anybody come forward to say they are responsible and say what their | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
demands are. Ambulance workers have rejected a | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
second proposal designed to end a long-running dispute about meal | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
breaks. They've refused an offer of �100 every time they're asked to | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
work through a break, plus a one- off payment of �1,500. Our health | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
correspondent Eleanor Bradford reports. | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
It was the death of 33-year-old Mandy Matheson which first put | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
ambulance rest breaks into the public eye. She lived in Tom Intal, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
one of the highest villages in Scotland. Because of its remoteness, | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
they have their own ambulance station but when Mandy suffered a | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
heart attack, the ambulance technician was on a break, and | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
exercised his right not to respond. That was more than a year ago but | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
repeated attempts to find a solution have come to nothing. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
disappointed. This is the third time we have been in this position | :05:57. | :06:07. | |
:06:07. | :06:07. | ||
and we hope this would be resolved. Ambulance crews haven't always had | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
the right to uninterrupted breaks. They were introduced as part of | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
contract changes are a few years ago. The latest proposal from the | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
Scottish Ambulance Service was a one-off payment of �1,500 if | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
ambulance staff agreed to be available again during breaks and | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
�100 each time they were actually disturbed. Today, all three unions | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
representing crews rejected that offer. Our members have been used | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
to getting half an hour unpaid and on -- uninterrupted break and they | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
have the six years, the workload has increased hugely, much more | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
stressful, the public's response to them has not been as positive as we | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
would hope for. The Scottish Ambulance Service says it is | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
disappointed a good offer has been rejected. All sides go back to the | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
table on Monday but a resolution looks as far away as ever. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
programme: There's a warning that children's | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
lives could be at risk if Scotland follows Westminster's lead on | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
outdoor education. And before we go tonight, we look back on a | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
remarkable start to 2012, and the aftermath of Scotland's violent | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
storms. In sport: | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
The Hearts manager breaks his silence on the club's financial | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
problems. You can hear what he's got to say later. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
And it's the fourth round of the cup, but where could the upsets | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
:07:42. | :07:43. | ||
occur? Thoughts on that later, too. The Royal Yacht Britannia was at | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
the centre of unexpected drama today when it began taking on water | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
and listing to one side at its berth in Edinburgh. Firefighters | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
were called to stabilise the vessel, which was being moved to dry dock | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
for essential repairs. Lisa Summers was watching from the quayside. | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
It should have been plain sailing. Instead, it turned into an | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
emergency. Firefighters were called out, the iconic vessel was in | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
trouble. And it wasn't difficult to see the problem. She was listing to | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
one side so what we've been doing is moving water from the Star Board | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
side over to the port side to bring the ship to a vertical position. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
was a faulty door but at one point the list was seven degrees and | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
engineers were visibly nervous, understandable tension for those | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
who had a meticulously planned this crossing. We have been changing -- | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
we have been doing all this work, and if the listing had continued, | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
we would have to send in divers. But we have this this will be | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
inspected every year. It was all hands below deck and took | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
firefighters four hours to steady the ship. This afternoon, she was | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
finally ready to go. The final hulks were released and she began | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
her short crossing, travelling at three knots. Finally, after all | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
this morning's hitches, Royal Yacht Britannia is on the move. It has | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
travelled over one million miles across the world's Oceans, but | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
today's journey is not quite so glamorous. She will now be in dry | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
dock for a full might. We will survey the whole just to make sure | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
there has been no deterioration. And she will be Burwash and then | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
she will receive some coats of paint, and then she will come back | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
out and get back into her birth. are told the Royal family took a | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
keen interest in Britannia and they have been kept up-to-date in this | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
eventful day in the life of their old friend. | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Generators and emergency accommodation are being offered to | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
people still without power three days after Scotland was battered by | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
violent storms. During the peak of the gales on Tuesday more than | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
100,000 customers were cut off. Engineers have been working round- | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
the-clock to repair the damage. It's hoped the remaining few | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
hundred without electricity will be reconnected tonight. | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
And you can see a special programme about the aftermath of those storms | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
on Sunday. Storm Force Scotland, presented by Isobel Fraser, is on | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
BBC One Scotland at 5:35pm. We'll also be devoting next | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Wednesday lunchtime's consumer slot to your questions about any | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
financial fall-out from the storms. As ever, our money expert Fergus | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Muirhead is in the chair. Whether it's questions over insurance | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
claims, travel disruption or simply who is liable for what, he's your | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
:10:49. | :10:49. | ||
man. The details of how to contact Fergus are on your screen now. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
There's another warning that children's lives could be put at | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
risk if Scotland follows the Westminster government and | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
abolishes the quango which regulates adventure sports and | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
outdoor education. Scottish ministers have started a | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
consultation on whether the sector should police itself with a code of | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
practice, or whether a formal body is needed. Craig Anderson reports | :11:07. | :11:16. | |
from the Highlands. Treading carefully between | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
recreation and regulation, that is the Scottish Government's task in | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
deciding how outdoor sports should be governed. Since the UK | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
Government decided to abolish legal controls and inspections in favour | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
of a voluntary code of practice, Scotland has to choose which way to | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
jump and some experts argue that self-regulation by the operators | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
themselves will not provide adequate safety guarantee is. | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
are particularly concerned about self- declarations and so on | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
because we are not absolutely certain that will provide the | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
reassurance that local authorities and parents required. The legal | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
framework was set up in light of a canoeing tragedy where four | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
youngsters died in 1993, but some claim that it is so inflexible it | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
doesn't even cover skiing or climbing walls. Since 1995, since | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
the legislation was introduced, there has never been a prosecution | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
and the law has never changed, so when a new activity comes along, | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
the legislation cannot cope. Holyrood may have to negotiate a | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
middle route. We need a consultation, to balance the needs | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
of providers, that provide a safe level activities in Scotland, with | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
the needs of users, could lead to have confidence in those activities | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
being provided in a say Fermanagh. There is an increasing array of | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
ways to enjoy adventure sports in Scotland. The challenge now for the | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
government is to make sure that as many people as possible can get out | :12:54. | :13:03. | |
into the great outdoors but do so Some of the other stories across | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
Scotland. Four fishermen have admitted their | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
part in a black fish scam worth more than �8 million. The High | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Court in Edinburgh heard that James Duthie, Ian Buchan, John Macleod | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
and Michael Macleod made false declarations about their landings | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
of mackerel and herring at Peterhead between 2002 and 2005 in | :13:17. | :13:26. | |
a bid to evade quota rules. Sentence was deferred until March. | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
A 49-year-old man has appeared in court in connection with the sexual | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
assault of a 15-year-old girl in Aberdeen. Stephen Dickson is | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
charged with assault, abduction, theft and rape. It follows an | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
incident in the Torry area on Monday night. | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
The man convicted of murdering teenager Zoe Nelson and burning her | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
body in woods in North Lanarkshire has failed in a bid to have his | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
jail term cut. Robert Bayne attacked the 17-year-old, put a | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
plastic sheet over her face and set her on fire in May 2010. Bayne was | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
ordered to serve a minimum of 20 years. Judges at the Appeal Court | :14:01. | :14:11. | |
in Edinburgh today ruled the sentence was appropriate. | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
What do you do if you think you have got one of the biggest | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
collections of sporting memorabilia in the country and no where to put | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
it? A former police officer was sure he owned one of the biggest | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
collections of golfing souvenirs and has come up with an answer. | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
This man likes his golf. He is a keen player. But Gary now spends | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
more time away from the course then he would like. Much of his time is | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
spent here in his flat, sorting out his hoard of memorabilia. Every | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
single item is now online in his virtual golfer museum. A highly | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
personal tribute to the sport he loves. 15 years ago, I was on an | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
internet site and I saw a bid but that was signed. Because I'd played | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
golf and was keen are watching it, I could not believe the pieces of | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
memorabilia out there. I was successful to get it. When I got it, | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
I was ecstatic. From that, it opened up a new world to me. I | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
realised golf memorabilia was a area I could collect and from that | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
one of the up, it was a catalyst. Tony is one of Gary's heroes. He | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
has many of his cups and trophies. But the signature of this golfing | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
great, Ben Hogan, if his prized possession. Gary has no idea how | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
much he has spent over the years or how much it is worth. He just knows | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
he cannot stop and apart from the internet the need somewhere to show | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
it. The house is packed with a whole range of material. You'll | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
have to stop some time. I am still collecting. At the last count, I | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
had 100 golf bags. Somebody did say, it will be good if I collected | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
stamps! The hope is one day I will put the collection on permanent | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
display for the public. That way, it will clear the flat and it will | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
:16:30. | :16:34. | ||
give me some NASA. -- back. The Hearts manager Paulo | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
Sergio says his priority this season is helping to keep the club | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
in business. Paulo Sergio was speaking at his first conference | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
since October. Hearts players are banned from talking to journalists | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
but Paulo Sergio had plenty to say about the issues facing the club on | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
and off the field. It was a packed press conference. | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
Hearts have ended their media blackout. The manager says only one | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
thing matters between now and the end of the season. My aim is to not | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
go to second place or first place but to put the club in a good | :17:15. | :17:24. | |
position to survive. Midfielder Brian Stephenson walked out on half | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
last month because the club had not paid his December salary. Paulo | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
Sergio says he has had contact with the player. He says he wants to | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
:17:48. | :17:49. | ||
come back but yesterday things changed again. We had a meeting. He | :17:49. | :17:57. | |
said, no, he will not return. Striker Kevin Cahill has been | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
missing through injury for almost a year. The manager says the | :18:02. | :18:11. | |
prognosis does not look good for a return to action. He needs another | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
surgery. It is a big problem. you feel his career is over? Maybe. | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
Much for that Portuguese manager to ponder between now and the end of | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
the season. Beram Kayal's season could be over. | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
He will have an ankle operation on Monday. He was injured in this | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
challenge with Rangers midfielder Lee McCulloch. They could be | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
:18:48. | :18:51. | ||
ligament damage and a recuperation period of four months. It is no | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
coincidence. He is a pivotal player for us. The one area where we do | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
have strength and depth is the midfield. The transfer window has | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
only been open for a few days but it is already one in and one out a | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
Pittodrie. The Aberdeen captain Richard Foster has agreed terms | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
with the English Championship side Bristol City. He has been replaced | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
and the formal -- format Motherwell defender Mark Reynolds has come in. | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
It is the 4th round of the Scottish Cup when a premier clubs enter the | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
competition and smaller clubs have the chance to knock them out. There | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
are 16 ties and plenty of opportunity for Cup shocks will | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
stock and these players from lower league clubs will probably never | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
get their hands on the Scottish Cup again but they might just pull off | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
a 4th round upset. What would be this year's biggest | :19:44. | :19:54. | |
:19:54. | :20:02. | ||
shock? Down to test out my new meter. -- time to test will stop -- | :20:02. | :20:12. | |

for the Blue Time would have a shock value of nine out of 10. -- | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
Blue Town. A surprise win for Arbroath against Rangers. We will | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
give that a nine out of 10. Top of Division Two. They fancy their | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
chances against Hibs who are struggling. Aylott of people might | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
look at this one as being one of the most likely for an upset. | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
Hopefully, players can go out there and play the way they have been | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
playing. If we do that, we have a chance. He has got a point. That | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
would register a shock rating of six out of 10. The junior cup | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
holders are playing Hearts. What chance of an upset? I think it is a | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
case of enjoying it. If we do that, it will be OK. It will not be | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
embarrassing, they are all good players. Even he does not sound | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
convinced! It's a win would register a shock reading of 11 out | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
of 10. It would be the biggest shock in Cup history. I've just | :21:34. | :21:42. | |
noticed the meter goes up to 12. There will be plenty of Cup action | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
