Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on the programme....

A jury takes less than two hours to find that Craig Roy did murder his

schoolmate, Jack Frew. Jack's family are demanding the maximum

sentence. The verdict could not have been anything apart from her

door, because the roads what it was. We hear the emergency call that

alerted police to the events that that evening in May 2010. Some one

has murdered him. In other news this evening...

Demands grow for a Scottish public inquiry into the breast implants

scandal. Nikica Jelavic says he would have

stayed with Rangers, if he had been asked.

And just why the Forth Bridge was given a coveted Blue Peter Badge.

The family of East Kilbride schoolboy Jack Frew have called for

his murderer Craig Roy to be given the maximum possible sentence. 19-

year-old Roy was convicted at the High Court in Glasgow today and now

faces a life term for stabbing Jack 20 times and slitting his throat.

In a statement, Jack Frew's family described him as a happy, loving

and vibrant boy, whose life had been snatched and whose good name

had been tarnished by Roy. The trial was no worse. The family of

Jack Frew left court, having seen the killer convicted of murder.

verdict could not have been anything apart from murder. That's

what it was. His good name was also tarnished by Craig Roy. These lies

where unfounded. The family can only take comfort in the fact that

people who knew Jack really knew what he was like. I at the centre

of this was Jack Frew, an exuberant 16-year-old. He had a brief sexual

encounter with one teenager, who then went on to have a relationship

with Jack Frew. Repeatedly, to police and in court, Craig Roy said

that Jack Frew was blackmailing him, threatening to tell of their

relationship. In May 2010, he agreed to meet him outside this

church. But he went armed with a knife. This was the cupboard that

the taking the knife from here and then hiding it again, showed that

the attack had been planned. He wanted to be stopped pester, but he

said he did like the attention he received from Jack Frew. They went

into the woods, where he claims that Jack Frew exposed himself. We

do not know what else happened, but he was found with 20 stab wounds

and with his throat slit open. Craig Roy says he cannot remember

what happened. The prosecutor called this lack of memory a

convenience. Unbelievably, Craig Roy said he was trying to help Jack

Frew. But he did not phone the police, but thinking of himself, he

phoned his boyfriend. When Chris Hannah arrived on the scene he saw

the body and called the emergency services. Someone has murdered and.

What do you mean that someone has murdered and? What has happened?

has had his throat cut. Outside, he barged into a television reporter

and then hit out at a photographer. Any police interview, this was

Fresh flowers this week, near to where he died. This is my first

blog on mutual. The family said he loved life and of fun into every

situation. 60 Scottish women who received sub-

standard breast implants are calling on the Scottish government

to hold an inquiry. The Westminster government has already announced a

review of the circumstances surrounding PIP implants, but the

women say Scotland should lead the way with a full public inquiry.

This report contains some flash photography. Five women who have

found out there at the centre of the medical scandal. Patricia heard

about the problem with her in plants through it the radial and

Janie went for a scan yesterday. I am going to have my end plants

removed next Wednesday. Nobody knows what this is doing to our

bodies. A lot of people are going for operations and do not have any

symptoms, but after the operation, the seemed to have a lot of

symptoms. People who are victims of the PIP scandal. Last week, there

was a consultation with some of the victims. One of the company stopped

using the end plans made by World It may have identified problems

with the PIP in plants earlier on. By many of the issues are come

nationwide, so why are the Scottish government been asked to foot the

bill? It is in the remit of the Scottish government. These Scottish

government says it is sympathetic to the cause, but is insisting on a

United Kingdom review. The Health Minister has, however, agreed to

meet them. You are watching Reporting Scotland

from the BBC. Still to come on the programme...

On the lash - an insight into how some women respond to the gloomy

economic situation. And in sport, did Jelavic jump or

was he pushed? The former Rangers striker contradicts the club owners

account of the player's Ibrox departure.

And meet Pat's People. Well, some of them. Are these the men to

reverse Hibs fortunes? All that and more to come.

Political leaders at Holyrood have been trading insults over who was

to blame for the failure at the Royal Bank of Scotland. Labour said

the First Minister Alex Salmond had himself become "the Fred Goodwin of

Scottish politics", but Mr Salmond dismissed the attack. Once Fred

Goodwin had honours heaped upon him, but now politicians take turns to

heap insult so on. In 2007, he was asked for help in the takeover of

the Dutch bank, which prove disastrous. I really do not think

Fred Goodwin is the Labour Party's strongest approach. After all, it

was then who nominated him for a knighthood. And he was also an

economic adviser to the former Labour Prime Minister and

Chancellor of the Exchequer. Unionists, it is the chance to

claim the skull and cannot afford independence. She argued that the

First Minister's judgment was forward. He is unable to make an

economic case for independence and is the First Minister not in danger

of becoming the Fred Goodwin of Scottish politics? Alex Salmond

said Scotland would thrive under independence and said that the

economy had struggled under a Labour nationally. Ed Balls was in

Edinburgh, visiting a spicy food centre. He was taking an even-

handed approach as to who was to blame over the Royal Bank of

Scotland fiasco. Alex Salmond is playing politics backing Fred

Goodwin. I think it is a pretty big error of judgment. In all, a spicy

mix indeed. Appeal judges have rejected legal

action brought by a tobacco firm which was challenging the Scottish

government's plans to stop the open display of cigarettes in shops and

ban the use of cigarette vending machines. The challenge was brought

by Imperial Tobacco, who claimed the measures were beyond the

legislative competence of the Holyrood Parliament. However,

judges ruled that the measures are not outside the scope of the

parliament's powers. A man will find out next month if

he is to be jailed for posting a picture of Neil Lennon covered in

bullet wounds on a social networking site. David Craig also

posted abuse about the Celtic manager and Rangers slogans on his

Facebook page, after the Old Firm's so-called "shame game" in March

last year. At Glasgow Sheriff Court, he

admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner likely to cause

fear and alarm. The 24-year-old was released on

bail and sentence was deferred until March.

A look now at what else has been happening across the country this

Thursday... A man died and a woman was flown by air ambulance to

Aberdeen Royal Infirmary after a crash between a car and a tractor

near Keith this morning. The crew of the Peter Head fishing boat has

been safely escorted to Shetland. The alarm was raised after the

bought, with five people on board, began taking on water. Tayside Fire

Brigade has been criticised for keeping their station staffed

overnight. Highland councillors being gorged to employ a special

pot holes hit squad. Critics say should bring in more staff to stop

the rot. The decision on a energy from waste incinerator plant will

be decided upon tomorrow. The decision for the Perth development

was first rejected and 2009. In the Borders, low carbon economy will be

discussed. The group from the Aberdeen University have discovered

strange sea life underneath the waters of New Zealand. They seem to

thrive where pressure is 1,000 times greater than at sea level.

would find them in the deepest parts of the auction. However, on

the last trip, from 7,000 metres, we found this, which is called Sid

the super giant one. There is more on these and other stories on the

People all over Scotland have been tightening their belts in the

economic downturn. But one area that seems to be expanding is the

beauty sector, with evidence that demand for treatments is on the

increase. Laura Bicker has been investigating. From Cox and collars

to caressing does cuticles. In these times of cutbacks, the beauty

business is holding its own. People are spending money on getting their

faces done. They are also getting massages, lots of waxing as well.

To tell you the truth, the recession has not hit the beauty

business in this area. In due are looking nice, it makes you feel

better and that keeps you going. The British Retail Consortium have

no official figures, but they say the health and beauty sector is

doing brother well. They say people would spend money on big items, but

they do like their small luxuries. This entrepreneur spotted a fad for

false eyelashes. You attach at the outer edge. With some help, she

started her own company. In January when you think it would be quiet,

we saw a sharp rise in sales. People obviously wanted to cheer

themselves up with new eyelashes. Others are seizing the opportunity

to start a new business. Here at the Scottish beauty school there

has been a number -- and increase in the number of students. It is

achievable because you can come into this industry relatively

cheaply in the sense that you can set up a business without spending

a fortune. Women who feel pampered, feel good. BT may only be skin deep,

but economically it seems as if it is giving us all of a boost.

And now for the sport. Did Nikica Jelavic want to leave

Rangers or was he forced out? The striker signed for the English

Premier League club Everton on Monday. Rangers owner Craig Whyte

says the Croatian's mind was made up to go, but the player's account

contradicts that story. Here's our senior football reporter Chris

McLaughlin. Nikica Jelavic getting used to his

new surroundings and team-mate. His move from Rangers has lessened

attacking options, but it seems he could have stayed in Glasgow.

not force my transferred. I spoke to my manager and said if they want

me to leave, I will. If they want me to stay idle. That seems to be

at odds with what this man was saying on Tuesday, responding to

criticism. So who is right and he is wrong? This afternoon I posed

that question to the medium of Twitter. As ever, some interesting

responses. Peter says, I would not believe either of them. Another

tweak said he might have thought it was best to sell. One man who has

not had his say so far is the manager. Ally McCoist will address

the media tomorrow. In the last few minutes Rangers have denied

Jelavic's claimed that he was forced out of the club.

No-one could accuse Hibs of being idle during the transfer window.

Their manager Pat Fenlon made more changes than any other SPL boss.

Yes, Fenlon's Easter Road revolution would appear to be

underway. His new look team's first challenge is against Kilmarnock in

the Scottish Cup on Saturday, but the priority is to get the club out

of the Premier League relegation zone. A new squad at Hibs. There

will be no hiding place for these players. In all, they have been

eight new players that have joined since the start of the transfers

window. So how confident is Pat fenland that he has a squat to lift

him away from the bottom of the table? We had been all over the

place looking for players. We had brought in at some quality and a

lot of experience. One of the new recruits has suffered relegation at

two of his previous clubs. He says he is keen to make sure the Easter

Road fans are rewarded. We need results desperately. The players

that have come in are eager to play and are willing to work hard and

climb up the table. It is the Scottish Cup Hibs will be

concentrating on one Saturday, but their winning record is dismal.

need to win some football matches and get ourselves ticking over.

eight new team and may be the 110 year wait for glory is about to end.

The Motherwell striker Henrik Oyama has agreed a new contract with the

club. He was due to leave at the end of this season when his short

term deal was up. But the Estonian has accepted a two year extension.

He's scored four goals so far for the club in just five games.

Scotland's rugby players now know the exact make up of the England

team they will face in the Six Nations opener on Saturday.

England's interim coach Stuart Lancaster has named three uncapped

players in a relatively inexperienced starting 15. Full

details are on our website. In fact, seven of his starting 15 have fewer

than ten caps, but the man in charge doesn't think it will be a

problem. The players we have selected have experience of playing

in big club and European games. It will be interesting to see how that

translates, but equally, eight of our starting side were at the World

Cup as well. Paul Lawrie's fine start to this

year's European tour golf is continuing. He's two shots off the

lead after the opening day of the Qatar Masters. The 1999 Open

champion shot a three under par first round of 69, three behind the

leader Gonzalo Fernandez Castanyo of Spain. Were it not for a

succession of missed putts toward the end of his 18 holes, his score

could have been even better. And that is the sport.

Tell me, did you get a Blue Peter badge?

I didn't. I used to watch Matt Prior on the other side. -- Magpie.

The Queen's got one, JK Rowling's got one and now one of Scotland's

best-known feats of engineering is the proud owner of one. Normally a

Blue Peter gold badge is awarded to people for exceptional achievement

or acts of bravery, but now it's gone to the Forth Bridge. Lisa

Summers has been finding out why. A world famous landmark. Eight

remarkable feat of engineering. A very useful means of transportation.

The Forth Bridge is famous for many things, but now another coveted

accolade. It gives me great pleasure to present the Gold Blue

Peter badge to the Forth Bridge. Yes, the Forth Bridge has been

awarded a gold Blue Peter badge. It joins other famous Scots, such as

Ewan McGregor. It was a great thing to happen. We know of Blue Peter,

they have been on the bridge before. Blue Peter said the award was

recognition for the thousands of workers who built the bridge and

those who have maintained it. So what will it mean for this 121

year-old bridge? It will get free entry to a range of visitor

attractions and it will be the envy of many a school child. Quite

jealous because I'm really want one and I have wanted on for quite a

while. The it looks really nice and most people know about it. I think

it is different, but it still deserves it. So the Forth Bridge

joins a list of less than 1,000 blue Peter Gore badge holders. Next

on the list though it is heritage status. Those discussions are under

way. -- Blue Peter Gold badge. Before we go to the weather, let me

tell you that our money man Fergus Muirhead will be here a week on

Wednesday and he will be answering questions on negative equity. So If

you're worried that your home is worth less than your mortgage and

that this will restrict your ability to move, do contact him. It

has been very cold. Let us see what the weather is going to do next.

England is going to get snow. Will Another cold and frosty night

tonight. You will be used to that this week. A lot of cloud working

into the south-west, keeping places like Strathclyde a little less

colder than last night. Further north, temperatures around minus

five. Tomorrow, there is a high- pressure we have had all week,

bringing settled conditions. There will be dry and bright conditions

again in the south-west. Hopefully for Orkney and Shetland there will

be more sunshine then you saw today. Going into tomorrow evening, it is

much of the same. However, there is a weather front coming in tomorrow

night. A lot of mild air associated with it. We could see for a time

some snow to lower levels on the southern part of the borders. But

for most, it will be wet and windy. Notice the temperature difference

between the north and east. Sunday, the brain will clear a way.

Temperatures much higher than they have been of late. Tonight, cold

and frosty again. The summary of tonight's top

stories. The family of the East Kilbride school boy who was

murdered has called for his murderer to be given the maximum

sentence. Prince William has flown into the

Falkland Islands amidst the worst diplomatic row between Britain and

Argentina since the two countries went to war. He's there as an RAF

search and rescue pilot, but the Argentines say the deployment is a

provocative act. 60 Scottish women who received sub-

standard breast implants are calling of the Scottish government

to hold an inquiry. The Westminster government has already asked for an
