That is all from the BBC's news at six, so it is goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:24. | |
90-year-old woman murdered in a drunken attack because her killer's | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
mobile phone had broken. A drunken hooligan. An animal. Also in the | :00:30. | :00:39. | |
programme: The Scottish economy is doing better, with analysts saying | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
it is growing better this year than previously thought. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
This is usually one of the busiest roads out of Glasgow city centre at | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
night a burst water main has burst apart of the road causing chaos for | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
commuters. Celtic Park will be the venue for | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
next year's Scottish Cup final, but how fair will it be if Celtic get | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
there? And they were at the dancing in the | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
1950s and 1960s. Now they are back as part of a show creating that | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
heyday. Georgina Barnett was 90 years old | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
and under five feet tall. To date Thomas Brogan was sentenced to life | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
for murdering the widow chewing a drunken rage over his broken mobile | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
phone. Georgina Barnett's nephew, relieved | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
justice had been done. His aunt died five days after the attack. A | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
drunken hooligan. He was an animal. What words can describe the | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
injuries? Unemployed Brogan had been extremely drunk last June when he | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
went to her Kirkaldy home. He blamed his friend next door to Mrs Barnett | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
for breaking his mobile phone, but vented his anger on her. The judge | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
said he utterly lost control and committed eight sustained attack on | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
a defenceless old lady. Upstairs neighbours had called the police | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
when they heard shouts and crushes below. They thought he had been | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
fighting his friend and was shocked to hear Mrs Barnett pleading for him | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
to stop. Later he confessed to police but he has never offered | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
defence or explanation. She was a friend to Thomas Brogan for almost | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
two years. She opened her house to him. They shared meals and drinks. | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
For him to turn on her is beyond belief. Georgina Barnett is | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
remembered as a lovely, friendly woman. Her family say that | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
tragically she paid for that kindness with her life. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
A sixth person, a man, has been arrested in Scotland over alleged | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
terrorism offences. Last week four men and a woman were arrested in | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
various locations and appeared in court yesterday charged with | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
conspiracy to murder and terrorism offences. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
The prospects are improving for the Scottish economy, according to a new | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
report but the Fraser Of Allander Institute also warns that the | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
recovery is based too heavily on credit rather than investment and | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
export. So what can we learn from companies that have weathered the | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
downturn and are looking to the long-term? Here is our business and | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
economy editor. Here in East Kilbride it is one | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
place the economy is picking up. This firm has grabbed hold of future | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
market, selling two overseas. This manipulator is bound for China. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
Investing in new ideas and exporting is a sustainable future for the | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
economy. A future controlled by the workers here because they own their | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
company. Living on services, taking a percentage of financial business | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
is the model for the future. We have a very unbalanced economy at the | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
moment and if we learn these things, a very unbalanced economy at the | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
be a slow improvement. Much of the growth we are seeing is from | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
consumers gaining confidence and spending more, often by borrowing. | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
The Fraser Of Allander Institute, the economic Institute at | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
Strathclyde using adversity, has raised its forecast for economic | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
growth this year. But it is still short of the trend we saw before | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
this great crash of roughly 2% per year. They reckon also that there | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
will be an improvement in the number of people in work this year. But | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
they also reckon that unemployment will keep rising through to the end | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
of next year, as things continue to look fragile. The Scottish economy | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
has grown for the last five quarters and we do see that growth | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
continuing. What we are worried about is the extent to which the | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
growth will continue. I am concerned that the basis of this recovery may | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
not be sustainable, because it seems to be predicated upon are being | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
rather than rising real incomes. We are not yet seen widespread business | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
confidence to start investing to increase capacity and export | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
markets, except across some industries which are enjoying quite | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
a strong performance such as the whiskey industry. It may just be a | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
footnote in today's report but it is important, if you look at two last | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
week they looked at the cost to the economy had Grangemouth closed. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
Workers are repairing a burst water main which cut off supplies to | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
thousands of homes in Glasgow and left a huge crater in one of the | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
main roads to the south of the city. The burst, on Bridge Street | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
near the River Clyde, is on the same place as a similar 17 years ago. Our | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
reporter is at the scene. You join me in what is usually one | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
of the busiest routes out of the city centre. Normally this would be | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
absolutely packed full of traffic but that big hole in the road behind | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
me means it is closed from Jamaica Street bridge all the way as far up | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
as Bridge Street tube station. There are diversions in place but it has | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
meant delays. But the real headache yesterday was for people dealing | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
with the flood water. This is the water main part caused | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
all the problems. A large crack where water came spewing out onto | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
the street is clearly visible. It left thousands of homes without | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
water for a few hours. It is similar to what Happened in 2006 but | :07:03. | :07:16. | |
Scottish Water says it has spent thousands on new water mains. We | :07:17. | :07:26. | |
looked at bus routes. We certainly recognise that this is a main | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
arterial route for Glasgow. We need to look at the root course and | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
investigate and then understand what lessons we may learn. Scottish Water | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
says everyone who lost their water supply was reconnected within hours | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
and those evacuated from their homes were allowed back Taiwan 30 AM. But | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
for one local pub, the effects of the flooding will be more long | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
lasting. The staff here were too upset to speak on camera but they | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
letters in to see the damage. At one point, the floodwater reached almost | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
the top of this cooker and the fridges in there were almost | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
completely submerged. Most of their stock is ruined and they say it will | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
take tens of thousands of pounds to fix this mess. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
Scottish Water has apologised for any problems. It has now begun an | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
investigation into the cause of the leak. Engineers say they have almost | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
completely fixed the pipe here but it will be another few days before | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
this road is reopened again for commuters. | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
You are watching reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come: A | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
council apologises for threatening letters sent to thousands of people, | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
claiming council tax discount. And in sport, the venue for this year's | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
Scottish Cup final is announced. Not everyone approves. | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
And how the Scots tackled the Tongans at rugby league's World Cup. | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
More later. The leader of the Unite union has | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
called on David Cameron to apologise after he appeared to blame a union | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
official for the near collapse of the Grangemouth refinery last week. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
At Prime Minister 's questions, Mr Cameron said a rogue trade unionist | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
at Grangemouth had nearly brought Scotland's petrochemical industry to | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
its knees. Where unions are lay a positive role, I will respect them | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
but we have a problem with a rogue trade unionists at Grangemouth who | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
nearly brought the industry to its knees. We need to have a proper | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
enquiry. Our political correspondent is at Westminster. What did Unite's | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
remnant plus a -- Len McCluskey have to say? The decision to close the | :09:48. | :10:01. | |
site at Grangemouth was reversed. Stevie Deans this week has resigned | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
from his position at Ineos and at the weekend we saw planes in the | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
Sunday Times that there were allegations that he had undermined | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
Labour's investigation into the full cut vote rigging fiasco. Today we | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
saw this response from Len McCluskey. The Prime Minister was | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
disgraceful today. He demeaned his office of prime minister. To attack | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
an individual worker, a shop steward, and refer to him as a rogue | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
operator that almost brought the petrochemical industry to a | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
standstill is quite disgraceful. Labour is under immense pressure | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
both about full kirk and to reopen the enquiry into those vote rigging | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
allegations. McCluskey says there was no wrongdoing by Unite union or | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
any individual. But Labour's links with the unions are under huge | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
pressure as well. Ed Miliband has said there should be an overhaul of | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
their financial links but people like David Cameron, Labour's | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
opponents, are not any time soon going to stop piling the pressure on | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
them. They see Len McCluskey and the issue sparked as a huge thorn in Ed | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
Miliband's side. I think the pressure will be kept up certainly | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
by the Prime Minister any time he speaks in the Commons. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Scotland's newest MST has been sworn in at a mere route. -- at Holyrood. | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
Cara Hilton became the MSP for Dunfermline after winning the | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
by-election last week with a majority of almost 3000. Dumfries | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
and Galloway Council has apologised unreservedly for letters sent to | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
thousands claiming the council tax single person's discount. | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
The letters challenged them to prove they were entitled to the discount. | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
It is very intimidated in its tone. This man lived alone in a bedsit in | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
Dumfries and gets a single person's 25% council tax discount. He expects | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
to be asked periodically if he circumstances have changed, but not | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
to be told that they have when they have not. When I have gone on to | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
view website which they instruct me to go onto here, I find I am | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
supposed to be cohabiting with someone. The woman concerned lived | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
across the landing in flat four. The BBC is aware of many people left | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
angered and distressed by this letter. One woman had been a | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
stalking victim and feared she was under surveillance again. The | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
letters were sent out by a company based in Lancashire, an agency which | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
some councils use for this kind of work. But the logo at the bottom | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
makes it look like it has come directly from the council. Today the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
council has admitted the letters were wrong and it will apologise. | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
The letter in itself contained some unfortunate times and regrettably it | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
may have caused offence or concern to some people. For that, the | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
council will apologise unreservedly. It is not the way the council does | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
its business with its constituents and distressed is regretted. 3500 | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
people got letters doubting their status. They will now get another | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
one saying sorry. Other stories from across the | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
country this Wednesday: Plans for a flood-alleviation scheme for | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
Stonehaven have gone on show to the public. | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
The Aberdeenshire town has been hit three times in recent years by | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
serious flooding. These proposals today outline the physical defences | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
we propose. They showed the walls and defences we will build to | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
increase protection in that area. In the face of concerns over the | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
timescale for repairing Lossiemouth's damaged sea defences, | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Moray Councils says the decision should be left to the contractor. | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
The town's harbour was one of several places hit by a freak storm | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
surge last December. Ballintore Harbour in Easter Ross was also | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
badly affected. Work on permanent repairs could be held up until the | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
worst of the winter weather has passed. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
The next Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
has been named as Reverend Dr Angus Morrison from Orwell and Portmoak | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
Kirk in Perth. He will take up the office at the Assembly next May. | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
?3 million of Lottery money has been given to Coigach in Assynt to help | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
conservation. The remote area is home to species such as golden | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
eagles, wildcats, and freshwater pearl mussels. It is an area | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
covering over 600 square kilometres and it will work towards a vision to | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
replant woodland that has been destroyed in the past. | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
Scottish Natural Heritage says it's making it easier for people to | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
report potential bird strikes at wind turbines. It's created a | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
dedicated email address for people to post details of incidents. The | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
move follows the death of a rare white throated needle-tail - which | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
flew into a turbine after migrating all the way from the Himalayas. And | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
there are more stories from your area - and rolling news and analysis | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
on BBC Scotland's website. In the days before we spent hours | :15:31. | :15:43. | |
Saturday nights watching celebrities and sing, tens of thousands of Scots | :15:44. | :15:52. | |
is used to go out themselves. If you spent your Saturday nights at the | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
dancin', a new theatre show could be for you. | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
Dancing was a way of life in the 1950s and 1960s. It was how the boys | :16:06. | :16:16. | |
met the girls. When this festival commissioned unusual about dance | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
hall days who better to ask than those who danced there? I have been | :16:23. | :16:32. | |
going to afternoon tea dances, evening dances, and meeting people | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
and seeing the joy and the love they have for dancing. While the dance | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
halls may have gone, the dancing continues. The project showed -- the | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
project had no shortage of volunteers. They are very good for | :16:54. | :17:12. | |
us elderly folk. Not just dancers but musicians also. | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
Once upon a time I was the resident vocalist. This was where many of my | :17:21. | :17:29. | |
generation met their spouses. I met my wife there. It was a great place | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
to be. That ballroom may be long gone but | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
this show will hopefully keep the music and the memories alive. | :17:43. | :17:53. | |
I bet David carry knows his way around a dance floor. -- David | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
Currie. For the first time in over a century | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
the Scottish Cup may not be held at a neutral venue. The National | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
Stadium in Hampden will be closed as it is made ready to host athletics | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
at the Commonwealth Games. The Scottish FA has decided that the | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
2014 cup final will be held at Celtic Park, even if Celtic take | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
park -- take part. The team had their hand on the real | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
thing earlier this year. If they reach the final this year -- this | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
season they will defend it on their home ground. The allocation of | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
tickets would make it fairer than our home ground. The SFA have a | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
choice to make. It is going to move somewhere. The decision is based on | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
the size. This is the view of sets of players will have as they come | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
out for the Scottish Cup final next May. But if Celtic are involved how | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
fair is that on their opponents? It is not fair if Celtic get to their | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
cup final. I would rather it was at Murrayfield. How do you feel about | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
it? I would love to beat Celtic at Celtic Park. Very unfair. Why make | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
the decision now. The SFA says: the last time the final was held at | :19:30. | :19:49. | |
Celtic Park was a good day for higher -- was a good day for Heart | :19:50. | :19:55. | |

in the World Cup finals. -- Scotland's Rugby League players. | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
This pre-match ritual is that he aggressively. It did not intimidate | :20:12. | :20:23. | |
the Scots. Scotland stormed to a lead at | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
half-time. In the second half Tonga scored four | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
tries and took the lead. Could the Scots recover? Yes. This try squared | :20:38. | :20:47. | |
the match. This conversion secured a memorable victory. | :20:48. | :20:57. | |
Tonga thought they had nicked it at the end, but the referee disagreed. | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
Scotland have triumphed. Inverness and the first team through | :21:01. | :21:13. | |
to the League Cup semifinals defeating Dundee United 2-1. Credit | :21:14. | :21:27. | |
to our players for keeping going. Scotland's women footballers hope to | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
make it four victories out of four when they play Poland tomorrow. It | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
is a very difficult game. We cannot take anything for granted. If we | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
want to win this game we need to work hard. Rangers will face Raith | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
Rovers at Easter Road in the final of the Ramsden 's cup. They defeated | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
Stenhousemuir last night. Graham. Us through to the last eight | :21:53. | :22:08. | |

We are surrounded by sport. Here is the weather. | :22:28. | :22:40. | |
Classic autumnal conditions. The rain was heavy. It was wet and windy | :22:41. | :22:53. | |
across many parts of the country today. This evening there is a | :22:54. | :23:08. | |
legacy of showers, but also clearer skies. | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
Fairly dry that a rash of showers in the Highlands and Islands. Tonight | :23:17. | :23:30. | |
will not be as cold as last night. Looking ahead, low pressure | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
continues to dominate conditions. At times the wind will be deal force on | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
the West coast. Perhaps some clearer skies across | :23:47. | :23:56. | |
