devices. Do two men who were intent on carrying out an act predicated

:00:08.:00:11.

by hatred. Two extremely dangerous individuals.

:00:11.:00:14.

We'll be looking at who their targets were and the police

:00:14.:00:16.

operation that snared McKenzie and Muirhead.

:00:16.:00:18.

Also tonight... Total say they knew a month ago

:00:18.:00:28.
:00:28.:00:29.

that there were problems on the abandoned Elgin platform. What is

:00:29.:00:32.

killing Scotland's Keys? Scientists believe they may have identified

:00:32.:00:35.

the culprit. And the Arbroath male voice choir

:00:35.:00:38.

that's celebrating a sell-out success, with a little help from

:00:38.:00:46.

Two men have been convicted of plotting to send parcel bombs to

:00:46.:00:49.

the Celtic manager Neil Lennon. Neil McKenzie and Trevor Muirhead

:00:49.:00:53.

were also found guilty of sending similar devices to the late QC Paul

:00:53.:00:58.

McBride and Trish Godman, a former Labour MSP. In a moment, we'll have

:00:58.:01:02.

the full background to this story. But first, to our reporter Catriona

:01:02.:01:05.

Renton, who's at the High Court in Glasgow. Catriona, what happened in

:01:05.:01:10.

court? The trial lasted more than a month,

:01:10.:01:14.

but it took the jury just two and a half hours to come to their

:01:14.:01:18.

decision. When they returned their verdict, it was guilty of

:01:18.:01:21.

conspiracy to assault the Celtic Manager, the late Paul McBride and

:01:21.:01:27.

Trish Godman. Originally, they'd been charged with conspiring to

:01:27.:01:32.

murder the three. Lord Turnbull told they pair they committed

:01:32.:01:37.

unusual but serious offences. As they were led, away Trevor

:01:37.:01:40.

Muirhead shrugged his shoulders and waved to his family, some of whom

:01:40.:01:47.

were in tears. Neil McKenzie blew a kiss to his family. One of them

:01:47.:01:52.

shouted, "You'll walk out of here." I spoke to Trevor Muirhead's wife

:01:52.:01:56.

shortly after the verdict. She said this had not been what she expected.

:01:56.:01:59.

Tonight, Trevor Muirhead and Neil McKenzie are back behind bars,

:01:59.:02:06.

where they've been since 13 May last year. They are due to return

:02:06.:02:09.

here to the High Court in Glasgow on the 27th of April, when they

:02:09.:02:14.

will be sentenced. One thing united Neil Lennon, Paul

:02:14.:02:17.

McBride and Trish Godman - their association with or support for

:02:17.:02:22.

Celtic Football Club. The manager, Neil Lennon, had become a figure of

:02:22.:02:25.

hate for many. The lawyer, the late Paul McBride QC, had represented

:02:25.:02:30.

the club and had been outspoken on its behalf. And the politician

:02:30.:02:34.

Trish Godman? Well, her crime had been to wear a Celtic shirt for a

:02:34.:02:38.

bet on her last day as an MSP. Our home affairs correspondent looks

:02:38.:02:41.

now at the background to the case and how the police tracked the

:02:41.:02:50.

bombers. It was a time of heightened

:02:50.:02:54.

tensions in Scottish football. For Arsene Old Firm Cup game, a very

:02:54.:02:58.

public altercation between senior club figures provoke the Scottish

:02:58.:03:05.

Government somewhat. Paul McBride, a close friend of Neil Lennon, made

:03:05.:03:10.

it clear what ethos of the football authorities. I just wish the

:03:10.:03:15.

Scottish Football Association that grow up and behave responsibly.

:03:15.:03:20.

Even veteran MSP Trish Godman made the news, choosing to wear a Celtic

:03:20.:03:24.

strip for last day in Parliament. All three became targets of

:03:24.:03:30.

packages sent to the work addresses. For the police, it became a

:03:30.:03:33.

desperate man hunt to find he was sending envelopes containing nails,

:03:34.:03:39.

wires and timing devices. In total, 5% and although none had reached

:03:40.:03:43.

its target saw exploded, police fears of a bombing campaign were

:03:43.:03:47.

heightened, because each was more sophisticated than the last. But

:03:47.:03:52.

where had the device has come from? This retail park in Ayrshire became

:03:52.:03:56.

the focus of the investigation after experts analyse the

:03:56.:03:59.

components and their packages. Police doing routine inquiries

:03:59.:04:03.

realised that many of the components used in the bonds could

:04:03.:04:10.

be bought in this store. It check of receipts and of CCTV footage

:04:10.:04:14.

revealed that a five envelopes, plastic travel bottles and a rubber

:04:14.:04:19.

watch had all been bought here at the same time. The CCTV footage

:04:20.:04:24.

proved crucial, as it showed Neil McKenzie buying the materials

:04:24.:04:28.

recovered from the devices. Buying the material all at once and from

:04:28.:04:33.

shops close to their homes was one of many mistakes made by a Trevor

:04:33.:04:36.

Muirhead and Neil McKenzie, who were described in court as

:04:36.:04:41.

Hillbillies. A police listening device was planted in Neil

:04:41.:04:44.

McKenzie's car as he drove around North Ayrshire. The pair were

:04:44.:04:49.

recorded talking. Were she planned one outside the police station. I

:04:49.:04:53.

think they will get the message. -- we should plant one outside the

:04:53.:05:01.

police station. We should put the evidence in the bin. Neil McKenzie

:05:01.:05:04.

claimed the packages were hoaxes and he had learnt to make fake

:05:04.:05:11.

bombs by watching the 18th. But experts say the chemical they were

:05:11.:05:17.

using is very unstable, particularly for amateurs. Hydrogen

:05:17.:05:21.

peroxide is a ferry me, material. The other is nail varnish remover.

:05:21.:05:25.

Once you start mixing them, you create a highly volatile mix that

:05:25.:05:30.

will cause ignition. It may have been amateurish, but for police,

:05:30.:05:36.

there was a clear intention to cause harm. Two men who were intent

:05:36.:05:42.

on carrying out a determined Act, predicated by hatred. Two extremely

:05:42.:05:46.

dangerous individuals who involved themselves in the manufacture of

:05:46.:05:51.

explosives substances and, for me, that identified a certain level of

:05:51.:05:53.

intellect was put them in the bracket of extremely dangerous

:05:53.:05:58.

people. During the trial, or one of the

:05:58.:06:03.

targets, Paul McBride, died. Neil Lennon was one of his pallbearers.

:06:03.:06:10.

The judge said SVRs Neil McKenzie had been convicted of serious but

:06:10.:06:14.

unusual offences and will be sentenced next month.

:06:14.:06:17.

The oil company Total says it knew a month ago that there were

:06:17.:06:20.

problems with a well on the now- abandoned Elgin oil platform. The

:06:20.:06:22.

installation was evacuated last Sunday when gas started leaking

:06:22.:06:26.

from a pipe 4,000 metres below the surface. Total have also been

:06:26.:06:35.

giving details of options to plug the leak. Steven Duff reports.

:06:35.:06:40.

This picture released by Total clearly shows gas escaping from

:06:40.:06:46.

Elgin platforms. It was taking just a hours after workers started to be

:06:46.:06:50.

evacuated on Sunday. It has been a long, difficult week for the French

:06:50.:06:58.

owned oil company. Firstly, I would like to stress the very deep regret

:06:58.:07:04.

that I personally and everyone in Total is feeling. Total revealed it

:07:04.:07:08.

was 25th February when the Troubles will mile -- troublesome well first

:07:08.:07:14.

became a problem. Control experts were in the process of putting it

:07:14.:07:18.

when the rupture on Sunday happened. Early indications are there was a

:07:18.:07:23.

mechanical failure some were in the wealth. There was a sudden no

:07:23.:07:26.

pressure increase followed by an escape of mud and gas. There was no

:07:26.:07:33.

evidence of any burning. I can see none on the picture. It is escaping

:07:33.:07:39.

towards the sea. The focus now is first of all dealing with the flair

:07:39.:07:43.

and actions to be taken on matter if it does not by itself burn-out.

:07:43.:07:47.

Secondly, it is so stopping the release of gas. Thirdly, the

:07:47.:07:51.

situation with regard to the other rebels on the platform.

:07:52.:07:55.

That flair above the platform, which was left on when the last

:07:55.:07:58.

workers left in the early hours of Monday morning, appears to be

:07:58.:08:02.

slowly burning itself out. But plans are in place to extinguish it,

:08:02.:08:07.

to remove any risk it could ignite the gas cloud.

:08:07.:08:11.

We are looking at whether it would be safety take aircraft in there

:08:11.:08:16.

and dice the flame itself. That is one that is being looked at. We

:08:16.:08:19.

have got fire fighting vessels on seen her looking at the capability,

:08:19.:08:23.

or where it has been saved to bring them closer to the platform. We're

:08:23.:08:30.

also looking at putting personnel back on board.

:08:30.:08:34.

Tonight, to drilling rigs are heading towards the Elgin platform

:08:34.:08:38.

to start work on two relief wells that will eventually stop the un

:08:38.:08:41.

controlled gas leak. That is likely to take months.

:08:41.:08:44.

You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the

:08:44.:08:46.

programme... George Galloway triumphs in a shock

:08:46.:08:53.

by-election victory over Labour in Bradford West.

:08:53.:08:58.

And the opera star hitting the high notes in Arbroath.

:08:58.:09:00.

In sport... Rangers administrators set a

:09:00.:09:04.

deadline for final bids to buy the club to be made. We'll have the

:09:04.:09:06.

details. And the future of the Scottish Open

:09:06.:09:09.

golf tournament has been secured for three years.

:09:09.:09:17.

All the details and a bit more There's been a remarkable decline

:09:17.:09:21.

in bee colonies across the globe in recent years. And that should be a

:09:21.:09:24.

worry for all of us because it's bees which help pollinate our fruit

:09:25.:09:27.

and vegetables. But researchers at Stirling University think they can

:09:27.:09:31.

shed light on the mystery of the bees' decline. Our environment

:09:31.:09:39.

correspondent, David Miller, is in Midlothian this evening.

:09:39.:09:44.

Sally, take a look at the fields behind the. You can see they are

:09:44.:09:48.

still fairly bare. But they will soon be bursting into life. We

:09:48.:09:52.

depend on bees to pollinate many of the crops we like to eat, even the

:09:52.:09:56.

cost and the like to wear. That is why this research is so important,

:09:57.:10:00.

research which is focusing on the use of a new generation of

:10:00.:10:06.

insecticides. But the humble Bumblebee - still a familiar sight

:10:07.:10:11.

in our parks and gardens, but these insects are under threat.

:10:11.:10:19.

Scientists want to know why. There are white tails, red tails...

:10:19.:10:24.

here shows exposure to a widely used insecticide lead to an 85%

:10:24.:10:28.

drop in the number of Bumblebee queens. Research in France has been

:10:28.:10:33.

studying the impact on honey bees. It seems that it interferes with

:10:33.:10:37.

their ability to navigate and find their way back to the nest. It does

:10:37.:10:41.

not kill them directly, but ever be gets lost and can find its nest, it

:10:41.:10:48.

is as good as dead anyway. Scotland's farmers say they rely on

:10:48.:10:51.

insecticides, but insist they are doing all they can to protect

:10:51.:10:56.

bumblebees and honey bees, too. bees are an essential part of

:10:56.:11:00.

everything we do in farming. We're not wanting to see them disappear.

:11:00.:11:04.

We want to see these pollinators continue. There are very useful in

:11:04.:11:09.

what they do. They create the seeds that we are this. We are as

:11:09.:11:12.

dependent on the bees as we offer on the sprays.

:11:12.:11:16.

But beekeepers want to see urgent action and say the UK should follow

:11:16.:11:20.

the example of our European neighbours.

:11:20.:11:24.

These studies can be added to all the evidence that points towards

:11:24.:11:29.

the urgent need to fall into line with those continental European

:11:29.:11:38.

countries which have taken these synthetic neonicotinoids pesticides,

:11:38.:11:42.

insecticides, be toxic products off the market.

:11:42.:11:46.

Whether it is in the city were the countryside, bees matter to all of

:11:46.:11:51.

us. The question is, how can we keep them buzzing?

:11:51.:11:56.

It is a difficult question with no easy answers. Habitat loss and

:11:56.:12:00.

climate change to a possibly two major factors here. This evening,

:12:00.:12:05.

this research means it is the use of neonicotinoids which has once

A 46-year-old man has appeared in court charged with murdering a

:12:14.:12:20.

pensioner at her cottage. 80-year- old Jenny Methven was found at her

:12:20.:12:25.

home in Forteviot. William Kean made a brief appearance in private

:12:25.:12:29.

at Perth Sheriff Court. It is alleged he murdered her by a

:12:29.:12:34.

hitting her with a blunt instrument. He was remanded in custody.

:12:34.:12:38.

The former Celtic midfielder and Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov

:12:38.:12:41.

has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia. The West Midlands club

:12:41.:12:48.

has announced that this afternoon. He joined the Birmingham side from

:12:48.:12:51.

Celtic for �6.5 million in 2006 after seven years in Glasgow. The

:12:51.:12:57.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon said the club was devastated by news of his

:12:57.:12:59.

illness. A look now at what else has been

:12:59.:13:06.

happy across the country. Public hearings for the official

:13:06.:13:11.

inquiry into patients given contaminated blood in the 19 some

:13:11.:13:15.

diplomats and 1980s have closed. The inquiry has heard from some of

:13:16.:13:20.

the hundreds of people who were infected with hepatitis C and HIV

:13:20.:13:24.

following NHS blood transfusions. Edinburgh City Council says it will

:13:25.:13:30.

pursue a local protest group fought �75,000 to cover costs incurred in

:13:30.:13:34.

their recent legal case against the operative. The action group had

:13:34.:13:39.

taken the council to court to try to halt plans to build a new high

:13:39.:13:42.

school. Shetland has the best quality of

:13:42.:13:46.

life of any rural area in the country. That is according to a

:13:46.:13:50.

report by the Bank of Scotland that looked into education, health and

:13:50.:13:53.

cost of living. Fortunately, they did not take into account levels of

land is now under control. They helicopter was brought into water

:14:01.:14:05.

bomb the area. Firefighters have been called out to dozens of fires

:14:05.:14:10.

in recent days. Fire chiefs have reiterated their warnings to people

:14:10.:14:15.

venturing into the countryside. They need to be very careful with

:14:15.:14:18.

regards to campfires, cigarettes. We would be very grateful for their

:14:19.:14:22.

assistance. Art is work for these apprentices

:14:22.:14:27.

from a college. They have been helping an artist build a large-

:14:27.:14:32.

scale installation for an exhibition. 6000 bricks will be the

centrepiece of a show opening next week.

He is one of the most colourful politicians of the age. He has

:15:00.:15:05.

bounced back from scandal, embarrassment and defeat and last

:15:05.:15:09.

like George Galloway, born in Edinburgh, brought up in Dundee,

:15:09.:15:12.

engineered one of the greatest political shocks of all time,

:15:12.:15:16.

humiliating labour in a by-election in one of their own English

:15:16.:15:21.

heartlands. It was a result that even George

:15:22.:15:28.

Galloway was not expecting. The new respect MP for Bradford West ending

a result in British by-election history barman -- this most

:15:40.:15:45.

sensational result. It represents the Bradford spring. What a

:15:45.:15:49.

difference a year makes. His career appeared to be on the wane. He had

:15:49.:15:52.

lost his Commons seat and failed to get connected to the Scottish

:15:52.:15:59.

Parliament. But the man who brought the word indefatigable to a wider

:15:59.:16:03.

audience has proved to be indefatigable. He is one of the

:16:03.:16:08.

finest wordsmiths of his generation. When he makes a speak on form in

:16:08.:16:12.

the House of Commons, he is well worth listening to. He has rarely

:16:12.:16:20.

been out of the limelight. salute your courage, your strength,

:16:20.:16:25.

your indefatigable nature. From the notorious meeting with Saddam

:16:25.:16:29.

:16:29.:16:35.

cap on the television. Expelled from the Labour Party in 2003, he

:16:35.:16:38.

has always been controversial, it never conventional. But his friends

:16:38.:16:42.

say he has the common touch. seems to have a tie with people up

:16:42.:16:48.

and down the country, working-class people, of whatever ethnic origin,

:16:48.:16:53.

identify with him. More importantly, he can identify with them. That is

:16:53.:16:56.

something the larger parties should take note of and try to learn his

:16:56.:17:01.

tricks. The result has been called a one off but he did it before in

Bethnal Green in 2005. Who knows what will happen next.

Rangers administrators have set a deigned line of Wednesday for best

:17:37.:17:46.

and final -- deadline for best and final offers. The Rangers manager

:17:46.:17:50.

Ally McCoist admitted he could understand why potential new owners

:17:50.:17:55.

would want to wind the clock back and start again debt free.

:17:55.:18:03.

-- wine to the club up debt free. Tonight's match against AC Milan is

:18:03.:18:08.

a virtual sell-out but still Rangers's future remains very much

:18:08.:18:14.

in the hands of others. One option is that of winding up the 140-year-

:18:14.:18:18.

old Club and reforming it as a new company. If I was sat here as a

:18:18.:18:22.

businessman, it might be different. But sat here as a supporter with a

:18:22.:18:29.

love of the club, it would not be the preferred options. But I can

:18:29.:18:33.

totally understand the business angle of it and it probably would

:18:33.:18:38.

support a lot of business-minded people, that option. What are the

:18:38.:18:42.

pros and cons of this so called Rick? The debts would remain with

:18:42.:18:48.

the old company but they would have to reapply with membership of the

:18:48.:18:52.

SDLP with the FSA also having a say. They would have to wait a minimum

:18:52.:18:55.

of three years before being eligible to play in Europe. What do

:18:55.:18:59.

the fans make of it? We have responsibilities to take care of at

:18:59.:19:05.

most Rangers fans want to pay off the debts. We do not want to do

:19:05.:19:13.

that. It is too easy a way out. This is Rangers. I would love for

:19:13.:19:17.

someone to come in and keep the club the same. If we can get more

:19:17.:19:21.

money to back it up, I would be quite happy. These fans should soon

:19:21.:19:26.

find their. The administrators have asked three parties to submit best

:19:26.:19:36.

and final offers by Wednesday. They include a Far Eastern consortium.

:19:36.:19:40.

Neil Lennon has written to the Scottish FA why you score described

:19:40.:19:46.

a refereeing decision in the FA Cup final defeat as criminal. The wrath

but Anthony Stokes for diving went Neil Lennon thought they should

have been awarded a pen ton of -- penalty. The Scottish FA gave hint

:19:54.:20:00.

dull today to explain the comments. His club captain defended him today

:20:00.:20:04.

saying that the FSA was over- sensitive. You cannot say anything

:20:04.:20:09.

about anybody. It is tough. If decisions go your way, you are

:20:09.:20:14.

upset. You have got to try and close off from that and not talk

:20:14.:20:19.

rubbish. The future of the Scottish Open golf tournament has been

:20:19.:20:24.

secured for the next three years. Aberdeen Asset Management have

:20:24.:20:28.

taken on the stump as -- taken on the sponsorship. The announcement

:20:28.:20:34.

was made today at Edinburgh Castle with Paul lorry in attendance along

:20:34.:20:43.

with the Scottish First Minister. Good shot! It is a great day for

Scottish golf, securing the Scottish Open at in the vital piece

:20:46.:20:52.

of scheduling, the week before the Open champion. They could not be

:23:29.:23:38.

We have been warned, the party is Do not be disheartened, it will be

dry. A cracking week of weather. Plenty of blue skies and warm

:23:44.:23:49.

sunshine. It is all coming to an end. Cold air coming down from the

:23:49.:23:57.

north. The temperatures can only go one way and that is down. We will

:23:57.:24:01.

be closer to average through the weekend, around ten degrees. Next

:24:01.:24:08.

week, perhaps a bit lower than average. Tonight, eight cloudy and

:24:08.:24:12.

dry. The cloud across the north- west Highlands could be fit enough

:24:12.:24:18.

for a little light rain. Generally dry and cloudy across the mainland.

Keeping temperatures mild. For Shetland, just into the colder air,

lows of around two and wintry showers by dawn. Saturday and

:24:28.:24:34.

Sunday, it will be dry and bright. Ordinarily, we would be saying the

:24:34.:24:38.

weekend is not too bad. But compared to the week we have had,

:24:38.:24:45.

you may be disappointed by the temperatures. There should be some

:24:45.:24:54.

sunshine here and there. Down the east coast, cooler. Shetland sits

:24:54.:24:59.

at just six degrees. Wintry showers could be continuing there. If you

:24:59.:25:03.

are out and about, walking and climbing, it will be dry but

:25:03.:25:09.

generally cloudy. Temperatures on the summits close to freezing. For

:25:09.:25:14.

the best of the sunshine will be on the southern up slopes. The

:25:14.:25:20.

temperatures in the Cairngorms will go down to around minus one. There

:25:20.:25:27.

could be some wind chill where the winds are stronger. A touch of

:25:27.:25:31.

frost. For Sunday, not too bad. They will be some rain across the

:25:31.:25:37.

north-west. Further south and east, dry and bright. Temperatures up a

:25:37.:25:42.

touch on Saturday. All in all, not too bad. Next week, it all changes.

:25:42.:25:47.

A cold front is sinking south on Monday. That will bring rain,

:25:47.:25:51.

widespread rain. Also, much coal their air in behind it. For the

:25:52.:25:59.

start of next week, it will be a wet story -- much colder air.

:25:59.:26:03.

Temperatures around 10 to 12 degrees at best. By Tuesday, we

:26:03.:26:06.

could be talking about seven degrees at best for Glasgow and

:26:06.:26:09.

Edinburgh. What a difference a week makes.

:26:09.:26:13.

But while it lasted. A summary of tonight's pop stories:

:26:13.:26:17.

two men had been convicted of plotting to send parcel bombs to

:26:17.:26:20.

the Celtic manager Neil Lennon. Neil McKenzie and Trevor Muirhead

:26:20.:26:24.

were also found guilty of sending similar devices to the late QC Paul

:26:24.:26:28.

McBride and Trish Godman, a former Labour MSP.

:26:28.:26:31.

The Fire Brigades Union has called for the government to make an

urgent public safety announcement about the danger of storing fuel

after this one and Diane Hill from York accidentally set herself

alight. Earlier this week, the government advised people to fill

:26:44.:26:50.

up jerry cans. The controversial ex-Labour MP George Galloway has

snapped a safe seat from his former party with a landslide victory. He

told -- he polled more than 18,000 votes. That was 10,000 ahead of the
