and country. Police say they have received

:01:24.:01:29.

further claims of abuse at the hands of monks at the former Fort Augustus

:01:29.:01:35.

Abbey School in the Highlands. They will be liaising with other law

:01:35.:01:39.

enforcement agencies in other parts of the UK and abroad. It follows a

:01:39.:01:47.

BBC Scotland documentary last week into abuse at the school.

:01:47.:01:50.

It is 20 years since this Catholic boarding school in the Highlands

:01:50.:01:56.

close that door is but following last week's investigation alleging

:01:56.:02:00.

widespread physical and sexual abuse by the monks that granite, Police

:02:00.:02:06.

Scotland are investigating it. They have received new allegations in the

:02:06.:02:09.

last few days and in a last few days and then statements statement

:02:09.:02:19.
:02:19.:02:25.

Bishop of Aberdeen became the first senior member of the Catholic

:02:25.:02:31.

hierarchy to apologise for the abuse. All that can be done for the

:02:31.:02:40.

victims will be done. Boys at the prep school in East Lothian also

:02:40.:02:46.

suffered horrific abuse with survivors saying that promises by

:02:46.:02:50.

the church now to open its files relating to allegations over 50

:02:50.:02:59.

years is not enough. Years of real hell, horrible. That is with me all

:02:59.:03:05.

the time, so the church has to do something. They have set up this

:03:05.:03:11.

audit process. Am I a footnote on a page to satisfy real insurance

:03:11.:03:20.

company? It is about the public image. Retired academic Alan Draper

:03:20.:03:24.

violated abuse cases among the clergy 50 years ago and says it is

:03:24.:03:28.

becoming increasingly vital the church appoints an independent

:03:28.:03:34.

investigator. They have to do it otherwise there will be this

:03:34.:03:39.

approach with more allegations coming to the fore and it is

:03:39.:03:45.

alienating people. They are saying, enough to stop whatever the result

:03:45.:03:51.

of the police investigation and disclosure of church files, many

:03:52.:03:57.

people say they are now prepared to take legal action for damages.

:03:57.:04:01.

For the turmoil at Rangers Football Club tonight with news that chairman

:04:01.:04:05.

Walter Smith has resigned. It follows a period of bitter

:04:05.:04:12.

infighting in the boardroom and a weekend exits from the league cup.

:04:12.:04:19.

Why is Walter Smith going? Quite simply, he has had enough of the

:04:19.:04:26.

boardroom battles and infighting. This is a man who read the club to

:04:26.:04:31.

numerous titles and has only been the chairman for two months, brought

:04:31.:04:35.

back into the boardroom to try to bring some stability when Charles

:04:35.:04:40.

Green was the chief executive. It is not executive that Walter Smith has

:04:40.:04:46.

gone just a few days after Charles Green retiring as a paid

:04:46.:04:51.

consultant. It is understood they do not see eye to eye and Walter Smith

:04:51.:04:57.

opposed Charles Green's be calm and felt isolated on the board. He has

:04:57.:05:01.

felt he cannot work under those conditions and said he has to go.

:05:01.:05:07.

What is the chance of a return at some point in the future? He may

:05:07.:05:14.

come back at a later date depending on which it gets control of Rangers.

:05:14.:05:17.

They may want to have Walter Smith back with them whereas another group

:05:17.:05:25.

may feel it is time to move on. have does this leave Rangers?

:05:26.:05:31.

Gordon Smith was saying, they half two groups battling for control.

:05:31.:05:37.

There is not one person or one group in control. It is run by different

:05:37.:05:39.

groups of institutional investors with some of them battling for

:05:39.:05:49.
:05:49.:05:50.

control. Fans are looking for some kind of clarity. We could get some

:05:50.:05:55.

kind of statement or clarity at an extraordinary general meeting

:05:55.:06:00.

planned for sometime late September, but the fans are looking for answers

:06:00.:06:03.

and with everything that has happened over the last couple of

:06:03.:06:10.

years, only a fool would predict what happens next.

:06:10.:06:15.

You are watching Reporting Scotland, still to come. How Edinburgh's

:06:15.:06:23.

newest quire is turning complaining into an artform. The Scotland

:06:23.:06:27.

skipper Darren Fletcher says he will be back playing at the highest level

:06:27.:06:32.

again and never thought about quitting despite absence because of

:06:32.:06:37.

surgery due to a serious bowel condition. The Golden wave of

:06:37.:06:43.

Scottish swimming. No medals but the top talents say that is all they are

:06:43.:06:50.

chasing at Glasgow 2014. The waiting is nearly over for

:06:50.:06:54.

thousands of school pupils and their families. The exam results are due

:06:54.:07:00.

out tomorrow morning. Jamie McIvor has been at the exams hotline where

:07:00.:07:06.

they are preparing for a busy day. This is the place to call tomorrow

:07:06.:07:10.

if you do not get the results you are expecting, whether that is good

:07:10.:07:17.

or bad news. 150,000 students across Scotland getting better results

:07:17.:07:24.

including the last standard grade results. Just how many callers are

:07:24.:07:31.

you expecting to the helpline? What sort of things can be advisors help

:07:32.:07:37.

with? They are here to help young people who perhaps did not get the

:07:37.:07:42.

grades they are looking for. That will not just necessarily be bad

:07:42.:07:47.

marks but better marks than the expected? A number of young people

:07:47.:07:55.

find themselves getting different or even better results. They could be

:07:55.:07:59.

looking at different courses or different institutions, and

:07:59.:08:04.

alternatively options like modern apprenticeships. Thank you. The

:08:04.:08:08.

helpline will be open from eight o'clock tomorrow morning and more

:08:08.:08:14.

students will be getting exam results the traditional way, but

:08:14.:08:19.

nearly 40,000 have opted to receive an e-mail or text message instead

:08:19.:08:22.

and they should be getting them before nine o'clock tomorrow

:08:22.:08:27.

morning. Police in Glasgow say they have found the body of a woman who

:08:27.:08:32.

they believed to be the 44-year-old who went missing a week ago.

:08:32.:08:39.

Lucia Piacentini was last seen at her home in the Cathcart area of the

:08:39.:08:44.

city. Police say they do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances.

:08:44.:08:48.

The Law Society of Scotland is calling for Holyrood and Westminster

:08:48.:08:52.

to publish legal advice about an independent Scotland's EU

:08:52.:08:59.

membership. They say there's the for certainty. The organisation says

:08:59.:09:04.

Hollywood must spell out what happened if negotiations cannot be

:09:04.:09:12.

concluded quickly will stop let's round up other stories from across

:09:12.:09:15.

the country. More than 80 people have applied for

:09:15.:09:18.

teaching jobs in Aberdeen following the city council's offer of up to

:09:18.:09:21.

�5000 to try and attract new teachers to the city. But officials

:09:21.:09:25.

say it's unlikely any will be in place for the start of the new

:09:25.:09:28.

school term to cope with staffing shortages.

:09:28.:09:31.

A number of operations have been cancelled in Orkney after a burst

:09:31.:09:34.

water pipe flooded a theatre at Kirkwall's Balfour Hospital. It's

:09:34.:09:39.

hoped the facility will be back up and running later in the week.

:09:39.:09:42.

Approval has been given to Falkirk Council's plans to attract new

:09:42.:09:45.

businesses to the area, which it's hoped could create 6000 jobs. Public

:09:45.:09:55.
:09:55.:09:57.

cash will be used to try and bring in more private investment.

:09:57.:10:00.

Falkirk is the beating heart of the petrochemical sector so that is one

:10:00.:10:08.

sector that will benefit. Retail, the business sector, to those,

:10:08.:10:12.

economic activity will be enhanced. A tourism campaign to promote the

:10:12.:10:15.

Hebridean islands has been launched. Visit Scotland aims to capitalise on

:10:15.:10:18.

the BBC's Hebrides: Islands on the Edge series and boost visitor

:10:18.:10:28.
:10:28.:10:28.

numbers in the area this autumn. Four kittens found in an air

:10:28.:10:31.

conditioning unit in Aberdeenshire have been rescued by the Scottish

:10:31.:10:34.

SPS said. The kittens were dehydrated and are being treated for

:10:34.:10:36.

dry eyes. And there's more from your area, and

:10:37.:10:46.

all the latest news, 24 hours a day on BBC Scotland's website.

:10:46.:10:50.

Don't all rush to look at the curtains at once! As a Glasgow MP,

:10:50.:10:58.

Mohamed Salah Mohammed Sarwar had just over 50,000 constituents. After

:10:58.:11:04.

being sworn in as Governor of Punjab in Pakistan, he is responsible for

:11:04.:11:14.
:11:14.:11:14.

around 92 million people. This is Mohammed Sarwar being sworn

:11:14.:11:19.

into his new job as Governor of Punjab, home to more than half of

:11:19.:11:27.

Pakistan's population. I believe I served the people of Glasgow and

:11:27.:11:33.

Scotland with passion and dedication and commitment. No, I believe the

:11:33.:11:39.

experience I have gained in local government and education, that

:11:40.:11:45.

experience can benefit the people of Punjab and the people of Pakistan.

:11:45.:11:50.

Mohammed Sarwar was born in pin jab but spent most of his life in

:11:51.:11:58.

Scotland. He became Breton's first Muslim MP. He went on to represent

:11:58.:12:03.

this part of Glasgow for the next 13 years before he stepped down from

:12:03.:12:12.

Parliament in 2010. Elliott, he was involved in the campaign to elect

:12:12.:12:20.

the Prime Minister but there were allegations he wanted the job.

:12:20.:12:25.

People make sacrifices for the party over the last 20 years. Many of

:12:25.:12:33.

those were very much interested in the governorship of the province,

:12:33.:12:37.

and at the moment although there is a resentment in the party, no one

:12:37.:12:44.

will speak publicly because he is very powerful. It is said there are

:12:44.:12:48.

7 million people who have never been to school in Pakistan and Mohammed

:12:49.:12:52.

Sarwar says it will be his book is to get 1 million of them in

:12:52.:13:01.

education every year. From the spin doctor to Doctor Who. Glasgow born

:13:01.:13:08.

Peter Goldie has been elected as the next proprietor of the TARDIS. --

:13:08.:13:15.

Peter Capaldi. The 55-year-old said he was a lifelong fan of Doctor Who

:13:15.:13:18.

and even wrote to the Radio Times about the Daleks when he was a

:13:18.:13:23.

teenager. For Doctor Who fans, it was the

:13:23.:13:30.

event of the year. Please welcome the 12th Doctor Who, a hero for a

:13:30.:13:39.

whole generation. It is... Peter Capaldi! A lifelong fan of the show,

:13:39.:13:46.

Peter Capaldi said Easy Crew was almost impossible to keep. It is so

:13:46.:13:51.

wonderful not to keep the secret any longer. But it has been fantastic in

:13:51.:13:56.

its own way. So many wonderful things have happened. For a while, I

:13:56.:14:00.

could not tell my daughter, who would be looking on the internet and

:14:00.:14:03.

discovering people were saying, so-and-so should be Doctor Who, and

:14:04.:14:09.

she was upset no one ever said me. When Peter Capaldi made his acting

:14:09.:14:19.
:14:19.:14:22.

debut in the 1983 film, Local Hero. It is just like the model. From

:14:22.:14:27.

there, he has made his name on stage and screen including an Oscar, but

:14:27.:14:33.

most notably as Malcolm Tucker in BBC drama The Thick Of It. I have

:14:33.:14:40.

got more on my plate than a spinster at a wedding. There have been --

:14:40.:14:45.

there has been mixed reaction. Generally very positive from the

:14:45.:14:52.

older fans but some of the younger kids have a bit of trepidation about

:14:52.:14:59.

these old man coming in. I do not like the new doctor. I want Matt to

:14:59.:15:03.

come back. It is going to be exciting. It is different than

:15:03.:15:11.

usual. I think he will be good. I hope he has a different TARDIS.

:15:11.:15:17.

the moment the Doctor Who dolls are Matt Smith and Tom Baker but come

:15:17.:15:21.

Christmas Day when we get a first glimpse of the new Time Lord, they

:15:21.:15:26.

will be stocking these shelves with Peter Capaldi.

:15:26.:15:34.

Another male Doctor? Is signed sexist? Just a third of science

:15:34.:15:40.

undergraduates are female and only 9% of professors. Now a professor at

:15:40.:15:43.

Edinburgh University is launching a project called A Chemical Imbalance,

:15:43.:15:51.

using lessons from history to call for equality.

:15:51.:15:56.

In 1870, Edinburgh University witnessed a riot. The reason? This

:15:56.:16:01.

woman wanted to be a scientist. riots kicked off when Sofia and six

:16:01.:16:06.

of her friends, collectively known as the Edinburgh Seven, wanted to

:16:06.:16:11.

take the exams to study for medicine and were not allowed. The men did

:16:11.:16:17.

not want them to do it. But a riot was not the end. Three years later,

:16:17.:16:25.

a professor flatly refused to lecture female students. He did not

:16:25.:16:29.

want to give two lectures. After all, you could not have men and

:16:29.:16:33.

women sitting together. And by the standards of the day, he was

:16:33.:16:40.

enlightened. He taught Indian and Chinese students, provided they were

:16:40.:16:45.

male. But things have changed since then, haven't they? When I was

:16:45.:16:49.

inducted as president and given my medallion, a man from the audience

:16:49.:16:54.

came up to me and told me that the Royal Society of Chemistry had made

:16:54.:16:57.

me their president because as a woman I should have been at home

:16:57.:17:02.

rigging up my children. One in three science undergraduates is female but

:17:03.:17:09.

that drops to less than one in ten professors. Visitors to the A

:17:09.:17:17.

Chemical Imbalance website will see a book, a film. Rae we want to tell

:17:17.:17:22.

everyone it is not difficult to allow everyone to have access to

:17:22.:17:27.

being a brilliant scientific academic. Sides has a huge part to

:17:27.:17:34.

play in solving global challenges. -- science. We need everybody to buy

:17:34.:17:39.

into that, to be able to contribute to finding the solution. At the

:17:39.:17:43.

current rate, it will be 70 years before there is a gender balance,

:17:43.:17:47.

that this project's message is that science cannot afford to turn its

:17:47.:17:54.

back on women any longer. And before the watershed, to! The

:17:54.:18:01.

sport. Scotland captain Darren Fletcher

:18:01.:18:04.

says he fully believes he will be back playing at the highest level

:18:04.:18:09.

again and insist he never thought of quitting football. That is despite

:18:09.:18:13.

surgery and time out of the game because of a serious bowel

:18:13.:18:17.

condition. Today the Manchester United and fielder was meeting and

:18:17.:18:23.

inspiring new intake at the SFA's regional football schools.

:18:23.:18:27.

Darren Fletcher back at Hampden, although not in a playing capacity

:18:27.:18:32.

just yet. The Scotland captain had a bowel operation at the start of this

:18:32.:18:37.

year in a bid to ease the condition that forced him to take a break from

:18:37.:18:45.

football two years ago. The Low I am still in the hands of the surgeons.

:18:45.:18:49.

I have not started training yet. I am waiting for the surgeon to give

:18:49.:18:53.

me the go-ahead. Hopefully it will not be too far away in the too

:18:53.:19:01.

distant future. If it means a few extra weeks to get myself right then

:19:01.:19:08.

so be it. COMMENTATOR: Fletcher! The Manchester United midfielder

:19:08.:19:12.

says getting back to doing that excites him, although he admits at

:19:12.:19:18.

times it has been a hard struggle coping with his illness. It has been

:19:18.:19:20.

very frustrating but I have struggled for three years knowing

:19:20.:19:25.

that hopefully it is going to come to an end and I can get playing

:19:25.:19:29.

football to the level that I expect to be playing at and want to be

:19:29.:19:33.

playing at. It has never been an issue to give up. I have been

:19:33.:19:40.

through some tough times. Fletcher is not putting a timescale on his

:19:41.:19:44.

return but this month's friendly international against England at

:19:44.:19:49.

Wembley comes too soon. Celtic have closed a section of

:19:49.:19:53.

their ground for safety reasons. Section 111 is home to a group of

:19:53.:19:57.

fans known as the Green Brigade and in the past two weeks the club has

:19:57.:20:01.

warned of concerns of overcrowding, blocking aisles and ignoring safety

:20:01.:20:06.

officials. Fans in the section will now be offered a refund or given a

:20:06.:20:09.

chance to relocate. The Green Brigade say they are seeking legal

:20:09.:20:13.

advice. It was a disappointing World

:20:13.:20:18.

Championships for two of Scotland's top swimmers. Hannah Miley and

:20:18.:20:22.

Michael Jamieson say only gold at next year's Commonwealth Games will

:20:23.:20:28.

do. Both finished fifth in the finals at Barcelona. But promising

:20:28.:20:32.

results from two youngsters have a former champion describing the C

:20:32.:20:41.

Rask Scotland's Golden wave. -- describing this era as Scotland's

:20:41.:20:51.
:20:51.:20:58.

The Olympic park setting was stunning, and so was some of the

:20:58.:21:05.

swimming. Silver medallist two-year zygote Hannah Miley could only

:21:05.:21:10.

manage fifth in the 400s individual medley, the same as Michael

:21:10.:21:19.

Jamieson. They want Commonwealth gold next summer. We will hopefully

:21:19.:21:26.

bring home the medals. The main medal, that is the only one I will

:21:26.:21:31.

accept next year. I have maybe four years or so left in this sport and I

:21:31.:21:39.

want medals every year. There were two Scottish records. So our major

:21:39.:21:46.

medals coming at the Commonwealth? Absolutely. I do not think this

:21:46.:21:52.

little Golden wave of swimmers coming through is an accident. We

:21:52.:21:58.

are now doing it on purpose. It is not a flash in the pan, not an

:21:58.:22:03.

accident. So Scotland's best are heading home from Barcelona with no

:22:03.:22:06.

silverware but with less than a year until the Commonwealth Games, there

:22:06.:22:12.

were enough good performances here to suggest that the medal tally at

:22:12.:22:17.

Glasgow 2014 will look very different.

:22:17.:22:19.

Edinburgh's new disquiet makes its public debut this week and it is

:22:20.:22:27.

turning complaining into an artform. -- Edinburgh's newest choir.

:22:27.:22:35.

Edinburgh Complaints Choir allows people to air their gripes.

:22:35.:22:39.

Some people sing the praises of their city. Not the Edinburgh

:22:39.:22:44.

Complaints Choir, who have a lot to get off their chests. This number is

:22:44.:22:52.

about dog mess. Everyone has a need to complain. It is a fun project. It

:22:52.:22:57.

is not just people sitting around being miserable. Commissioned by the

:22:57.:23:04.

Edinburgh arts best, this follows a loud and proud history. Choirs have

:23:05.:23:11.

sprung up all over the world. heard about complaints choirs before

:23:11.:23:18.

and I thought it was a nice way to positively do something about things

:23:18.:23:23.

that are annoying in Edinburgh. there is no shortage of annoying

:23:24.:23:26.

things about Edinburgh, not least the disruption caused by the tram

:23:26.:23:33.

works. I thought it was a good way to become involved in the festival,

:23:33.:23:39.

rather than the festival being put upon you, which sometimes when you

:23:39.:23:42.

are in Edinburgh you feel you are not really part of it, so it was

:23:42.:23:52.
:23:52.:23:52.

good to become involved in it rather than just money at it. -- rather

:23:52.:24:02.
:24:02.:24:05.

about the festival which they will be performing out and about for the

:24:05.:24:13.

next few weeks. Not much to sing about in the

:24:13.:24:23.
:24:23.:24:24.

across most of the country to date but not across the Borders and the

:24:25.:24:29.

Lothians. We saw around 30 millimetres of rainfall in 12

:24:29.:24:33.

hours. Elsewhere, though, generally dry and the rain is clearing the

:24:33.:24:39.

way. So this evening, late sunshine for many parts of the country. The

:24:39.:24:45.

rain was part of this area of low pressure. Bright skies. One or two

:24:45.:24:50.

isolated showers but generally OK this evening. It will be dry with
