Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news... | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Pressure mounts on this MSP to quit parliament, following claims of | :00:23. | :00:33. | |
:00:33. | :00:34. | ||
domestic abuse. One of his former wives speaks out. He got in the | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
left and he just whacked me one. How can a man like that do that job | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
when he has a history of abuse behind 10? | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Bill Walker has already been expelled from the SNP, but insists | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
he is staying on as an independent nationalist. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Also this evening, 100 days until the Olympics come to Hampden. But | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
with very few tickets sold, should we be worried about a lack of | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
:01:05. | :01:05. | ||
interest? By a more popular now, so I am not complaining. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Seeing the big picture - why this young man found his portrait on the | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
side of a three-storey building. And we look back at the semifinal | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
goals which set up the first Edinburgh cup final since 1896. It | :01:14. | :01:22. | |
is Hearts versus Hibs on May 19. A former wife of an MSP at the | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
centre of allegations of domestic abuse has claimed he is not fit to | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
be a member of the Scottish parliament. In an interview with | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
BBC Scotland, she makes a number of allegation of domestic violence | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
against Bill Walker. Mr Walker denies all the claims made against | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
him by ex-wives. He has already been expelled from the SNP, but | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
says he is considering appealing that decision. Together, we can | :01:49. | :01:57. | |
make Scotland better. Bill Walker a member of the Scottish Parliament. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
He has been thrown out of the Scottish National Party after being | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
abused of -- accused of domestic abuse. Tonight, one ex-wife reveals | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
what she endured. As soon as we got into the room, he just started. | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
:02:28. | :02:28. | ||
Nightmare. He punched me all over my face, slapped me, kicked me, p | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
with metal tongs. I was screaming I was crying. She says it was not the | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
first time he attacked her. We got in the left and he just Witney. A | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
big slap on the side of the face. He did it twice. We went back to | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
the amount I said what are due to that. He was completely and a rage. | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
I think he slapped me another couple of times and he never said | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
sorry, never said why he had done it. To day, Bill Walker refused a | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
:03:21. | :03:23. | ||
work request for an interview but Another former wife has accused him | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
of domestic abuse and police are now looking into another claim made | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
against him. He denies any wrongdoing and although it expelled | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
from the party, he needs the member of the Scottish Parliament. Why can | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
a man like that stay on and do that job when he has this history of | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
abuse behind him? He has got away with it. He seems to think it is | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
normal behaviour. I do not think a person like him should be in a | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
position of trust and representing the every day people of the | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
constituency. Bob is Russian parties save water should have more | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
power to our stores the opposed in Parliament. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Strathclyde Police is investigating whether a health board deliberately | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
covered up the circumstances surrounding the deaths of more than | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
20 patients. In February, we exclusively revealed how NHS | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Ayrshire & Arran had been ordered to release documents relating to | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
deaths and serious incidents at its hospitals. Our health correspondent | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
Eleanor Bradford joins me now. Why have police become involved? It is | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
that a request of a nurse who turned whistleblower. To recap, she | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
realised that the NHS Health Board was not releasing details of | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
serious incidents. These reports should always be release all | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
lessons can be learned. This nurse submitted a Freedom of Information | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
request and the Information Commissioner writ forced the NHS | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Trust to release the information. At first, they said it did not have | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
the information, but in some cases, they appear to have creation dates | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
days before the released when they should have been written up months | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
before. Today, I asked the nurse why they continue to pursue their | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
case. It is usually important case. There are 54 incidents, but no one | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
seems to have been held to account and no one has been investigated or | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
suspended. If it is proved that there is criminality here, then the | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
law should take its course. What has the health board had to | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
:05:57. | :05:58. | ||
say? The vigorously refute any notion of the cover-up. They also | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
criticise the original report, which says that although they are | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
guilty of poor record keeping, it says they were not guilty of the | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
cover-up. They say it was unfounded and untrue that the chief executive | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
retired early because of this or the current medical director is | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
planning to leave early because of this decision. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
You are watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
programme... Seeing the big picture - why young | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
men are appearing on three-storey buildings across the capital. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
And could Hampden be empty when the Olympics rolls into town? With only | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
100 days to go, less than 10% of the tickets have been sold. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
In sport, we will have exclusive news of a proposal that could have | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
ramifications for all involved with football in Scotland. Plus, capital | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
gains, as Edinburgh's top two prepare to go head to head in the | :06:57. | :07:05. | |
final of the Scottish Cup. A fatal accident inquiry has heard | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
from one of the nurses who cared for a woman who died shortly after | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
her dentures became impacted in the roof of her mouth. Betty McGaw was | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
admitted to hospital after swelling spread across her throat and she | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
was not allowing anyone at her Glasgow care home to feed her. The | :07:20. | :07:30. | |
:07:30. | :07:31. | ||
inquiry started last year, but resumed today. 87-year-old Betty | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
McGaw died some time after any danger became impacted and embedded | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
into the roof of her mouth. Doctors described her mouth as filthy and | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
believe the danger could have been in four weeks. Betty McGaw was | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
cared for at heather bank care home in Glasgow before being admitted to | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
hospital. Today, a fatal accident inquiry hear from staff nurse. He | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
was responsible for the care of between 17 and 35 residents with | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
the main share each day. The inquiry heard that care assistants | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
had to ensure that personal and oral care where carried out for the | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
patients. That involves brushing teeth and that it is down to the | :08:18. | :08:27. | |
staff nurse to ensure that work is done. During her time there, he was | :08:27. | :08:37. | |
:08:37. | :08:43. | ||
the staff nurse. The Deputy Fiscal The inquiry has already heard from | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
a care assistant. It says that she was fed through a straw at the care | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
home. The staff nurse was asked if he was aware of this and he said he | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
was not. The inquiry continues tomorrow. | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
A multi-million pound investment by Japanese company Mitsui could see | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
the creation of 4,500 jobs in Scotland. Mitsui's deal with Global | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Energy Group will see the acceleration of the redevelopment | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
of the Nigg fabrication yard in the Highlands. Finance Secretary John | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
Swinney said it was evidence of confidence in the Scottish energy | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
and renewables sector. There is just over a fortnight to | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
go until the council elections and campaigning is stepping up a gear. | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
Today, the Liberal Democrats were highlighting their record in local | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
government and promising to try their best to deliver for | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
communities across Scotland, despite tough council budgets. And | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
as our local government correspondent Jamie McIvor reports, | :09:33. | :09:43. | |
:09:43. | :09:44. | ||
voters have questions for which they want answers. Leader, fitter, | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
healthier - it is what every council would claim it is trying to | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
become. But there is no room for excess flab when budgets are being | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
squeezed. I certainly would not have fought for some of the people | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
who are simply part of the apparatus. I am more likely to vote | :10:08. | :10:16. | |
for borderline candidates to have the conscience. It is very | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
important that we look at their history and what they are planning | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
to do in the future. These Scottish Liberal Democrats hope to persuade | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
people their party has the best that ideas. He claims they are more | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
committed to local decision-making and any other major party. A others | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
will say they're in favour of local decision-making. But they are | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
centralising the police across the five services. That says everything | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
about the other parties. Bury is 0 national manifesto been published. | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
Instead, they are publishing with local issues for different parts of | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
the country. These are investing in jobs and growth, investing in | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
education and responding to the needs of an ageing population. | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
Winnie to make sure communities have control and the have | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
opportunities. These are the principles of the Scottish Liberal | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
Democrats. There are can let part of 13 coalition councils across the | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
country, but are all too aware that of the poor results in the last | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
year elections. Only the results in the elections well short of their | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
optimism is well placed. Meanwhile, the Scottish Green Party | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
has also been busy launching its council election manifesto. The | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
party has councillors in three administrations across Scotland and | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
is hoping to break through in other local authorities. It people give | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
their first preference vote for as his what they will get his | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
councillors dedicated to a more fair and sustainable society. We | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
will have the opportunity to put into practice the practical | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
measures we have, such as using public assets and public land and | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
buildings to produce cleaner in revenue and produce the Revenue for | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
better services. A look now at what else has been | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
happening across the country this Monday. I had the wind farm | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
protesters have picketed the meeting of the shell and trust. The | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
meeting was abandoned. The Applecross community come make it | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
says it is struggling to bring plans for a hydro scheme to | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
fruition. They have been spending three years tried to get the scheme | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
running. Finance Secretary John Swinney is travelling to Japan and | :13:11. | :13:21. | |
:13:21. | :13:23. | ||
South Korea to promote Scotland's renewable energy. The this is about | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
long-term investment in the economy and to find out how we can | :13:27. | :13:36. | |
contribute to the renewables market in the Asian market. Firefighters | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
had been tackling a major delays in Wigton Shire. But one point, the | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
:13:52. | :13:53. | ||
blaze was on the four-mile front, fanned by a breeze. The Airport is | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
planning to ask workers about the possibility of industrial action. | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
For spectators were taken to action to hospital after a crash in the | :14:09. | :14:18. | |
Scottish Rally. I am very lucky to have escaped with what I got. The | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
other three chaps are obviously seriously hurt. And there is more | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
than the stories on the BBC George Galloway has taken his seat | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
in the Commons after winning the Bradford West by-election last | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
month. It was considered a safe Labour seat, but Mr Galloway, | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
standing for Respect, won it with a 10,000 majority. Previously he was | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
the Labour MP for Glasgow Hillhead and then its successor constituency | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
Glasgow Kelvin. Mr Galloway was expelled from the Labour Party in | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
2003 because of his strident public opposition to the Iraq War. | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
It's 40 feet high and more than 20 feet wide, and it's designed to try | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
to challenge our attitudes towards our young men. The first of a | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
series of drawings of male teenagers has been unveiled in the | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
capital as part of an art project called Our Nation's Sons. Gavin | :15:09. | :15:18. | |
Walker reports. Towering above a Edinburgh's | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
Howgate, the three-storey Iron Age of local teenagers. This is the | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
first of a series about sized portrait been displayed across the | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
capital of young local male residents, designed to prompt | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
discussion about Scottish Society's relationship with its young men. | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
Young men up constantly portrayed negatively. These guys have the | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
same aspirations and anyone else and deserve to be recognised. | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
local teenager in question seemed to shock to see himself so precise. | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
It's pretty cool. I more popular now so I'm not complaining. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
project is part funded by the city council and police. It quickly drew | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
attention. I think there should be more of the sort of stuff. Has it | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
been painted on or paper machine gun? It is incredible. A lot of | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
skill and talent. Further images of young men from the City are to be | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
put up across the capital over the next few days. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
In exactly 100 days' time, the Olympics will be here in Scotland. | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
Organisers are promising a multi- million pound boost for the economy. | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
Hampden Park hosts eight Olympic football matches, and it all kicks | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
off two days before the London opening ceremony. But as our | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
Olympics correspondent Kheredine Idessane reports, ticket sales are | :16:44. | :16:54. | |
:16:54. | :16:58. | ||
poor, and many people don't even know Glasgow is a host city at all. | :16:58. | :17:08. | |
He is excited. She is excited. And even he can't wait for the Olympics. | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
In exactly 100 days, the games are coming to Glasgow. Few in the city | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
seemed to know. Do you know what role Glasgow's playing in hosting | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
the Olympics? I have no idea. idea at all. Probably fitting the | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
bill. Not really, not at all. don't know exactly what we're doing | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
for the Olympics. Is it not more London's? Eight football matches | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
are to be hosted at hand in bringing a this to the local | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
economy. One of the benefits for Glasgow is around the �6 million | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
mark. Quite a lot of good construction work has been done by | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
Scottish companies. The education programme has been picked up by | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
hundreds of schools all around Scotland. The Olympic torch will | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
Gordon 95% of the population of this country when it comes here in | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
May. People will get behind it. Former champions Japan could be | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
headed to Glasgow as the draw is made next week as five of the eight | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
matches here are in the women's tournament. The eyes of the world | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
will be on the national stadium when Olympic football takes off but | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
it will not look good if there are thousands of empty seats here at | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
Hampden. With just 100 days to go, 90% of the tickets remain unsold. | :18:30. | :18:38. | |
Those who have bought them cannot wait. I ordered my tickets for the | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
Olympic football here at Camden. I am looking forward to it immensely, | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It will be obvious | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
when the Games come to Glasgow. George Square will house 30 ft | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
Olympic rings. Only four or overseas countries will have | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
training camps and Scotland beforehand. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
And More sport now and Dougie's got the latest. The Scottish Football | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
Association is considering setting up a National Football League to | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
replace the SPL and the SFL. The governing body may act as | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
frustration grows over the failure to agree new league structures. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
Chris McLauchlin is at Hampden for us, Chris, we've heard about league | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
reconstruction in the past, how does this differ? Basically, what | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
you have here is what has transpired because the clubs cannot | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
agree on league reconstruction. These are the bodies running a game | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
in Scotland. You have the SPL - a collection of a top clubs and the | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
top league. You have the ESFA which oversees all of Scottish football | :19:45. | :19:53. | |
including licensing. We also have the SFL which runs Leagues One, Two | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
and Three. There has been recent infighting over voting structure | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
and the ESFA are becoming more and more frustrated. There will be a | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
meeting on 30th May of the SPL clubs to get some consensus on | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
voting structures. The Old Firm have the power on things like | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
broadcasting rights and the smaller clubs want a bigger piece of the | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
pie. The ESFA and acting as exasperated parents saying, if you | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
cannot play nice, we will move in and take your game away. It will be | :20:29. | :20:39. | |
interesting to see if this wraps up the pressure for the SPL. | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
Now, for the first time in almost 120 years this season's Scottish | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Cup final will be an all Edinburgh affair. Hibs and Hearts will both | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
be back at Hampden next month after winning their respective semi- | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
finals there at the weekend. And as Alasdair Lamont reports, the | :20:51. | :20:59. | |
excitement is already building in the capital. | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
It is not too often both have as an Edinburgh and equally elated. This | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
weekend was an exception. Things were a little calmer on the streets | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
of the capital today. Both sets of fans are looking forward with some | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
optimism to the final on 19th May. If they win it, it will be a big | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
Downer for us. Everyone will be up for it. We will beat them no | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
problem at all. Very confident. will be the greatest derby match | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
there has ever been. A veteran of the fixture agrees, saying victory | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
in the final would supersede all that has gone before. Whoever wins, | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
it will be the best bragging rights ever. This fixture has not come | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
round for so long and it may take that long again for the next one. | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
It will be, for one set of fans, the greatest day of their lives to | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
have witnessed their team beat their rivals in the Cup final. | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
may not have the hallmarks of a historic sporting venue but that | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
was in a saviour in 1896 when Hearts last played heads and a | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
Scottish Cup final. Hearts won on that occasion by three-to-one. Will | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
this occasion be when heads end their 110 you wait for Scottish Cup | :22:22. | :22:32. | |
:22:32. | :22:33. | ||
final victory? Maybe it is our year, we don't know. They will have to | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
wait another couple of years because this is our Cup and we have | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
:22:46. | :22:47. | ||
to wind. These Hearts fans will hope rudest actual is right. The | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
Hibernian counterparts have other ideas and have five weeks to debate | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
the matter. Neil Lennon will have to wait until next week to find out | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
the ramifications of his rant at referee Euan Norris because of a | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
backlog of cases at the SFA. Lennon was furious when Norris awarded a | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
penalty for Hearts in the closing stages of the Scottish Cup semi- | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
final. The Celtic boss then took to Twitter stating this and other | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
decisions going against his team were personal. Lennon will have to | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
wait until the SFA's compliance officer reviews Norris's report | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
which is likely to include the comments made on the pitch | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
immediately after the match plus a discussion held in the referee's | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
room at Hampden. Scotland's David Florence will lead | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
a British team of five slalom canoeists at the London Olympics. | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
Florence, who won silver in Beijing four years ago, earned selection in | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
the men's C1 and two-man, C2 categories on the Olympic course at | :23:34. | :23:44. | |
:23:44. | :23:46. | ||
Lee Valley this weekend. I knew that it was really down to me to | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
stop the Olympic team. I am trying to keep that focus on a run won the | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
at a time and it has not sunk in yet. I can't believe I'm going to | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
the London Olympic Games now. Amazing. | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
That looked like good fun and a canoe. | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
Our financial adviser Fergus Muirhead joins us a week on | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
Wednesday to cast some light on your concerns over pensions and the | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
tax implications surrounding them. So as usual questions can be sent | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
Now as ever at this time, let's see what the weather has in store and | :24:20. | :24:30. | |

A dramatic change coming our way tonight with a lot of rain and wind. | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
It is all part of this Atlantic low-pressure moving towards us | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
bringing rain and stronger one mac. At the moment, that rain is | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
touching western peripheries of the country. It will extend fairly | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
quickly and sweep across the country. What will happen is as the | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
rain hits colder air across areas north of the central belt, it will | :24:53. | :25:01. | |
turn to snow over the higher ground. The Met Office have a yellow | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
awareness Warning For travel disruption. I think it will be the | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
rain and wind which is more noticeable for us tonight with | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
strong south-easterly wind back. It will stay dry in Shetland and quite | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
chilly with temperatures of around two Celsius. Tomorrow gets off to a | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
wet and windy start but quite quickly we'll see the main clearing | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
from the south-west. These dire and better conditions extend across | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
southern and central Scotland. The brain becomes quite static across | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
northern parts. We will she showers across Kintyre and parts of the | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
Galloway coast. Some decent spells of sunshine breaking through. | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
Highest temperatures in the south of around 11 Celsius. A bit more in | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
the way of cloud towards northern parts. For Orkney, not looking too | :25:54. | :26:04. | |
:26:04. | :26:05. | ||
good a day. Becoming drier for the north-east in Moray. Edinburgh and | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
the Lothians, the odd passing shower. During the rest of the day, | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
the showers will die away leaving a dry evening. Stays when the in the | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
north but later went back in the south. The outlook is rather | :26:19. | :26:29. | |
unsettled with some showers and stories. | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
Anders Breivik, the man accused of Norway's worst atrocity of modern | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
times, has gone on trial. The 33- year-old said he killed 77 people | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
as an act of self-defence. Last July, Breivik first planted a car | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
bomb in the centre of Oslo, before shooting 69 young people at a youth | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
A former wife of an MSP at the centre of allegations of domestic | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
abuse has claimed he's not fit to be a member of the Scottish | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
Parliament. In an interview with BBC Scotland, she makes a number of | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
allegations of domestic violence against Bill Walker. Mr Walker | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
denies all the claims made against him by ex-wives. He's already been | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
expelled from the SNP but says he's considering appealing that decision. | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
Strathclyde Police is investigating whether a health board deliberately | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
covered up the circumstances surrounding the deaths of more than | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
20 patients. In February, BBC Scotland exclusively revealed how | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
NHS Ayrshire and Arran had been ordered to release documents | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
relating to deaths and serious incidents at its hospitals. | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
Charities who fear a drop in their income because of plans to cap the | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
amount donors can give tax free are to be consulted by ministers. The | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
proposal, contained in last month's budget, has led to criticism from | :27:27. | :27:32. |
