Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news... | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
New claims about the Rangers owner Craig Whyte. A BBC Scotland | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
investigation has found he may have lied in court over his business | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
history. We have a special report from | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Afghanistan, where Scots soldiers are preparing to hand over security | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
:00:42. | :00:43. | ||
to local forces. It is the local people stepping up to take charge, | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
that is what they need to do. Later in the programme, 60 years | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
after she visited Scotland for the first time as monarch, a �100,000 | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:04. | ||
whisky is launched to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. He is a | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
chance! A try for England! And why did Scotland get it so | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
wrong against an inexperienced England side? Rangers owner Craig | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Whyte may have lied to a court over his business history. The | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
businessman gave evidence at Glasgow Sheriff Court in December | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
last year over an alleged unpaid bill to a roofing company. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
But a BBC Scotland investigation has unearthed documents relating to | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
his seven-year director disqualification which casts | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
serious doubt on his testimony, given under oath. More evidence | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
about Mr Whyte's alleged criminal past has also emerged. Mr Whyte | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
described the claims as defamatory and said the BBC was pursuing a | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
witch hunt against him and Rangers Football Club. Our investigations | :01:49. | :01:57. | |
correspondent Mark Daly has this exclusive report. Dundee United | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
:02:07. | :02:11. | ||
have come to Glasgow and beating Rangers! Club creche out of the | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
Scottish Cup in front of less than 18,000 fans. This was an arriving | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
in court at the end of last year regarding an unpaid debt. Just | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
weeks prior to that, the BBC had revealed that Craig Whyte had been | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
subject to a seven-year director disqualification. Craig Whyte | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
refused to discuss the reasons behind it, dismissing it as the | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
technicality. Craig Whyte says he could not remember what the ban was | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
for, but we sure it was nothing to do with his treatment of creditors. | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
:03:08. | :03:19. | ||
Nothing to do with creditors? That does not appear to be true. We have | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
abstained at a transcript from the judgment of his disqualification | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
hearing, he erred in London. It concerns one of his past companies. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
The judge was scathing about Craig Whyte apparent attempts to shift | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
the assets away from the failing company in order to leave his | :03:39. | :03:49. | |
:03:49. | :03:54. | ||
creditors behind. The register Their jobs were deliberately | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
failing to be truthful under oath is perjury. In response, a | :04:00. | :04:10. | |
:04:10. | :04:22. | ||
These are dark times for the club. With a reported �10 million funding | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
shortfall, a �49 million tax tribunal outstanding, the Ibrox | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
club does not have its problems to seek. But it is Craig Whyte's | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
business history which is once again under the spotlight. After | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
the BBC documentary in October revealed allegations that he had | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
committed a kept criminal offence while disqualified, Craig Whyte | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
said he would launch legal action and withdrew co-operation from the | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
broadcaster. The BBC has yet to receive a writ from his lawyers. We | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
have now obtain more details about this matter. These detailed these | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
documents, detailed after his disqualification, say that he not | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
only controlled 85 % of the company's shares, but that he was | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
also been consulted in relation to get another Shia or four, which she | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
had offered to underwrite to the tune of �500,000. The maximum | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
sentence for controlling the company will disqualified his two | :05:31. | :05:41. | |
:05:41. | :05:57. | ||
years in prison. The spokesman Craig Whyte pointed out that he has | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
never been subject to a criminal investigation. He remains under | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
investigation by the Scottish Football Association over its fit | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
and proper person guidelines and by the Stock Exchange over failure to | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
produce audited accounts. And you can see Mark Daly's full | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
investigation tonight on Newsnight Scotland on BBC Two from 11.00pm. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Scottish soldiers are at the forefront of the handover of power | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
in Afghanistan as the timetable for pulling out British troops is | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
accelerating. They have begun closing checkpoints and | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
transferring control to Afghanistan security forces. British forces are | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
due to withdraw by 2014, but many of the 10,000 soldiers deployed | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
there may be brought home in little more than a year. Cameron Buttle | :06:41. | :06:51. | |
:06:51. | :06:52. | ||
has been embedded with 3 Scots, The Black Watch in Helmand. Helicopters | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
still take the same flights and precautions that the ever did. But | :06:58. | :07:08. | |
:07:08. | :07:08. | ||
on the ground, things are different. Here in the South, the is beginning | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
to look and feel as if it made when troops were not there. In this part | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
of Helmand, this is becoming an increasingly rare sight it - | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
British troops out on patrol. The number of incidents have decreased | :07:25. | :07:33. | |
by 86 %. Now the main task is preparing the situation for the | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
Afghans. This used to be a Black Watch position, but now they have | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
pulled back. It is now looked after by Afghan national security forces. | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
It is good in that it it is the Afghans who are stepping up to take | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
charge. They are now the security for the people. If they're going to | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
do that, they have to be able to do it themselves. I resemble a you're | :08:07. | :08:17. | |
:08:17. | :08:23. | ||
happy with that? The death and life. It is their home now. The soldiers | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
visit there will checkpoints and talk to the locals. As the | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
Afghanistan city, more security, the Black Watch have to do less. | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
The number of patrols has been more than her aft. We are been working | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
closely with them for a long time. We are now seen on a day-to-day | :08:44. | :08:54. | |
basis their ability to patrol themselves. It will see them | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
looking after their own people. It is the powerful combination. This | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
has set the success will depend on people like this. His brother was | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
killed by the Taliban. He says his men no longer feel the insurgents. | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
But with this transition comes the moment of danger. As the Black | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
Watch step back, the Afghan forces have to fill the gap. They know | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
this is when the insurgents will try and destabilise the situation. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
You are watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
programme... A new exhibition pays tribute to | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
the Scots who fought Franco during the Spanish Civil War. | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
And in sport, Rangers' difficulties off the pitch are being reflected | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
on it, as they crash out of the Scottish Cup. And what now for | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Scotland's Six Nations campaign, after a desperately disappointing | :09:53. | :10:03. | |
opening encounter against the Auld A man has been found guilty for the | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
second time of murdering his four- month-old daughter. Craig Jamieson | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
was today convicted of killing baby Abbie at the family home in Glasgow. | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
His original conviction was overturned due to the way the judge | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
:10:24. | :10:25. | ||
at the first trial gave legal directions to the jury. The baby, | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
shortly after been born in September 2007. The father appears | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
here as the doting father, but the jury today found him guilty of | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
murdering his daughter. She suffered what was described as the | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
catastrophic head injury. On the day the baby died, she was a warm | :10:48. | :10:58. | |
:10:58. | :10:59. | ||
with him. His wife had left the 0 with in describing how to look | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
after the child. The prosecutor says only he would know what really | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
:11:14. | :11:20. | ||
He was sentenced to life with the minimum of 16 years. That was two | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
years ago, but was overturned last year on the grounds that there had | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
been this direction of the jury from the trial judge. The unanimous | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
guilty verdict was returned today. Tonight, the calculator for school | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
says the conviction for the brutal murder of his daughter shows the | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
commitment of the Crown that people who are guilty of murder and | :11:47. | :11:56. | |
serious offences Act hit against children will not escape justice. | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
Today marks the 60th annivesary of the Queen's accession to the throne. | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
In Scotland, it has been marked by a 21-gun salute at Edinburgh Castle | :12:03. | :12:13. | |
:12:13. | :12:14. | ||
and the launch of a very rare and expensive dram. Not the 1 o'clock | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
gun, but the 21 guns. Fired from the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle. | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
There were guns to end the pride Park in London. They are more where | :12:27. | :12:35. | |

they were launching a very special whisky. It will go to charity as | :13:21. | :13:29. | |
the �100,000 bottle. It is the very special whisky. A old whiskies can | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
be very idiosyncratic, but this one is lovely. There is some frit, some | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
gentle smokiness. At what hundred �1,000 a bottle, a wee nip like | :13:46. | :13:56. | |

company to the Office of Fair Trading, reporting huge fare rises | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
and saying they have almost a monopoly. We have the highest fares | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
in the country and they have a virtual monopoly. The travelling | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
public here think enough is enough and I have referred it to the | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
Office of Fair Trading. Scottish salmon company says its | :14:34. | :14:37. | |

More job losses look certain at Borders College after cuts in | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
teacher funding across Scotland. The last round of cuts saw 22 | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
redundancies. One of the largest Scots law firms | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
is to merge with London based firm, Pinsent Masons. McGregor's name | :15:14. | :15:19. | |

Scotland's young traditional musician of the year. More than | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
those stories from the BBC Scotland website. | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
A funeral limousine has been issued with a parking ticket as it waited | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
for people to leave a church service in their number. Funeral | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
directors say it is the first time in their history they have never | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
had a ticket. The local council have no cancelled it. | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
You can imagine the scene. Inside the church, relatives and more | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
mothers are paying their last respects. Outside, I three-car | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
funeral court has. Just at the moment when the undertakers left | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
the cars, the Blue meanies decided to stick. We usually have somebody | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
waiting with their vehicles at all times until we have somebody going | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
to the church to bring the coffin out. We had reached the stage when | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
everybody was inside and ready to bring the coffin out, when one of | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
my colleagues happened to poke his head out of the Church to notice at | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
traffic warden placing a ticket on the last car, the second limousine. | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
He looked as if he was moving up the line to the next limousine to | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
do the same. It is the first time this funeral | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
directors has ever had a ticket and they have been in business for 124 | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
years. Traffic restrictions in George Street have changed because | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
of the tram works but the council have apologised and say they have | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
cancelled the ticket. It goes to show what that even on your last | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
journey, you cannot escape the wrath of a traffic warden. | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
The sacrifices of 500 Scottish volunteers who fought Franco during | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
the Spanish civil war are being marked -- matched by an exhibition. | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
Short of weapons and training, the Scots who joined the International | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
Brigade suffered heavy losses in their fight against fascism. | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
They are all veterans. The photograph may be fading but the | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
memories and the pride are still strong. This man's grandfather, | :17:48. | :17:56. | |
Thomas, left Dundee in 1926. Thomas Curran was one of thousands of | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
volunteers from across Europe and beyond who made their way to Spain | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
to fight Franco and his troops. As they sought, a fight for freedom. | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
You could turn up to war without any training. You have to admire | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
their steel and the brass that is holding them together, to make them | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
do it. Remember, it was their beliefs. This plaque commemorates | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
the men from Dundee who died in Spain. 60 went from the city alone, | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
17 would never return. From us cross Scotland, more than 500 men | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
left behind family and friends to join the battle. The they were part | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
of that 2500 and volunteer army from Britain and Ireland. This | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
exhibition and in the Central Library tells its story, told for | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
the first time in Scotland. After the first three days, there | :18:57. | :19:05. | |
was only 150 left in a line of 600. In July 1937, there was only about | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
40 who had survived and were still fighting out of about 400. | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
International Brigade were ultimately defeated in Spain, with | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
many soon finding themselves back in battle as the fight against | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
fascism engulfed Europe for the next six years. | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
Let's get to make's sports news. As you may have heard, the BBC has | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
uncovered documents that show Rangers owner Craig White may have | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
lied under oath. On the park, life after the sale of striker Nikica | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
Jelavic does not look great and the Scottish Cup defeat was watched by | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
the smallest crowd of the season at Ibrox. | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
As the Rangers fans poured out of Ibrox, the downbeat at this fear | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
could not simply be attributed to an early Scottish Cup exit. These | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
supporters know a wider malaise is present. Tonight was ridiculous. | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
The club is going down to mediocrity. It breaks my heart. | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
Rubbish, disgraceful. It was embarrassing to watch the team. | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
That is life. We will still win the league. Well-placed optimism are | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
simply blind faith? Either way, the club more than ever needs the | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
backing of the fans. Fewer than 18,000 turned up for the club tie - | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
- Cup tie, and although there were mitigating factors, it is another | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
sign all is not well. Craig Whyte says he is confident he will lead | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Rangers through this tough time but it means another reduction on | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
player spending. That could then lead to fewer trophies and to | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
complete their vicious circle, a less competitive Rangers will be | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
less attractive to the fans. Billy Davies with a member of an | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
:21:08. | :21:09. | ||
early -- 1980s Rangers side for him silverware was scarce. What I do | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
know is that finance is in football are very difficult. Difficult for | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
many clubs. Hopefully over the next year or so we will see things | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
settling down and clubs getting themselves in better positions. | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
That may be the best case scenario for Rangers, who faced trying times | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
both on and off the park. The draw for the quarter-finals of | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
the William Hill Scottish Cup took place this afternoon and Dundee | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
United will have to do it a hard way. Rangers conquerors were paired | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
with Celtic in the last date. Hearts will play either Ross County | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
or St Mirren. Mother all, who defeated Morton, will be home to | :21:50. | :21:59. | |
Queen Of The South of Aberdeen. -- mother well. Those ties will be | :21:59. | :22:04. | |

Scotland international, John Beattie. This came after the | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
opening match in the Six Nations campaign ended in crushing | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
disappointment. This was the moment that sealed | :22:25. | :22:35. | |
:22:35. | :22:37. | ||
Scotland's fate. Than parks fails to Clear and England get a try. -- | :22:37. | :22:47. | |

Dan. Scotland came off second best again, why? I think he is the easy | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
option to make into a scapegoat and that would be very unfair. We have | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
to focus on a lack of prize at what happened in the other 39 minutes. - | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
- tries. It is also about not making mistakes like this. | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
pressure of their guys are under, they find it difficult to execute | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
simple stuff. There is almost a monkey on their back about scoring | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
tries, and that is becoming an issue. The opportunities are there | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
but the team lack a finisher, someone who can score for Scotland. | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
What needs to change? criticisms aimed at Robinson are | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
normally from people who do not know. He is a great man and a great | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
coach and was a great player. He is maybe just too loyal to some | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
players who should not be forced up let's get behind Scotland, it says | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
on the poster here at Murrayfield. On Saturday, thousands dead, but | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
the left disappointed, watching Scotland squander the majority of | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
the possession and great chances to score. Once again, Scotland lose in | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
the Six Nations. Former Scotland rugby international | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
Thom Evans are hopes to launch a new career in athletics later this | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
month. The 26-year-old will compete in the 60 metres in Glasgow's | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
Kelvin Hall. He had to retire from rugby two years ago after breaking | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
his neck in the Six Nations match against Wales. Great to see him | :24:22. | :24:31. | |
back doing something. For the weather forecast. Some | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
cracking spells of sunshine across this country and the freezing fog | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
has not really budged. Tonight, it will become more widespread | :24:42. | :24:50. | |
particularly through the central belt. Quite a dramatic contrast in | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
temperatures tonight, as low as- seven Celsius in parts of the East | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Highlands. That could be some patches of ice where it is still | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
wet. For most places tomorrow, a cold start and a frosty one. If | :25:06. | :25:16. | |
:25:16. | :25:18. | ||
anything, that all his law to clear than today. -- saw to clear. There | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
may still be patchy fog for the Glasgow built into Edinburgh and | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
into Fife. Where you do have that Falk, it will be called with | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
temperatures no higher than two Celsius. More typically, five | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
Celsius in the sunshine. Mild over the Hebrides with Becker cloud. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
Through the rest of the afternoon, winds will pick up along the west | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
coast and around Aberdeenshire. Those strengthening wind back are | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
linked to a weather front which will push in of the Atlantic on | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
Wednesday. To start the day on Wednesday, much of central and | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
eastern Scotland will be dry and bright but as the day goes on, | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
cloud will increase from the West, bringing with it outbreaks of rain, | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
some snow on the high ground and temperatures of three Celsius. With | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
that strong wind, it will feel quite raw. Into Thursday, high | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
pressure takes control over Scotland and that will settle | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
things down a bit. Still a lot of cloud around and the best of | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
limited brightness over the Highlands but temperatures are | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
edging up. We will have lost most from one mac so a better seen in | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
Before 7pm, the top stories - BBC Scotland can reveal that the | :26:40. | :26:45. | |

Network Rail bosses have said they will not accept bonuses this year. | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
