from the Atlantic. Thank you very much. That's it from us. On BBC

:00:00.:00:13.

Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. A blow to this year's Commonwealth

:00:14.:00:20.

Games in Glasgow. Jessica Ennis is the Olympic

:00:21.:00:25.

Champion. Jessica Ennis-Hill, one of the

:00:26.:00:27.

world's best-known athletes, is pregnant and will not compete. Ennis

:00:28.:00:32.

is not the first high-profile athlete to withdraw. We'll assess

:00:33.:00:34.

the impact of her absence. Also on the programme. An inquiry

:00:35.:00:38.

hears of problems detected in this helicopter's gearbox days before it

:00:39.:00:45.

crashed into the sea killing 16 men. This man was enjoying a night out

:00:46.:00:48.

when he was knocked down and killed by this drunk driver who has been

:00:49.:00:54.

jailed for five years. If you are aware of anybody about to drive

:00:55.:00:59.

after drinking alcohol, please do everything in your power to stop

:01:00.:01:03.

them. Also this evening. The full story of

:01:04.:01:08.

a Glasgow family's appeal for the release of their father who is being

:01:09.:01:11.

held in a Pakistani prison. And we're in Melbourne with Andy

:01:12.:01:15.

Murray as he prepares for the first Grand Slam event of the tennis

:01:16.:01:16.

season. She was the star of the Olympics and

:01:17.:01:26.

is an ambassador for the Commonwealth Games but Jessica

:01:27.:01:28.

Ennis-Hill won't be coming to Glasgow this summer because she is

:01:29.:01:34.

pregnant. Ennis-Hill is the first big name athlete to pull out of the

:01:35.:01:37.

competition, and with other stars hedging their bets, could this be a

:01:38.:01:40.

blow for organisers? Our Commowealth Games reporter Lisa Summers has

:01:41.:01:43.

more. The big names that made the

:01:44.:01:48.

Olympics, but are they coming to Glasgow? Jessica Ennis-Hill is the

:01:49.:01:53.

first star to say she will not be coming to the games, but there are

:01:54.:01:58.

doubts about Mo Farah who has said the London Marathon is his priority.

:01:59.:02:05.

And Usain Bolt is keeping very quiet about whether we will see him

:02:06.:02:10.

competing this summer. Sir Chris Hoy declared his retirement early on.

:02:11.:02:15.

Jessica Ennis-Hill is an ambassador for the Commonwealth Games and says

:02:16.:02:19.

it is hard to know she will not compete. This will be a big blow for

:02:20.:02:25.

organisers, although they were quick to say congratulations. Most of the

:02:26.:02:37.

venues are up and running and the tickets are sold, but it is the

:02:38.:02:41.

opportunities for global business and tourism. Every very small number

:02:42.:02:50.

of viewers would have tuned in just to see those particular elite

:02:51.:02:53.

athletes. People who are going to watch the Commonwealth Games will

:02:54.:02:58.

watch it because it is on the television enemy. The absence of

:02:59.:03:05.

megastars, or potential absence, I am not sure it will make a

:03:06.:03:13.

significant difference. Lee McConnell has started back in

:03:14.:03:15.

training just nine weeks after her baby was born. It is an important

:03:16.:03:20.

event for athletes. Any major championship is. Every year,

:03:21.:03:29.

athletes like a goal. The Commonwealth games this year is that

:03:30.:03:34.

goal. The man in charge of the Scottish team says that a major

:03:35.:03:40.

event must not rely on big names to make it a success. Athletes will

:03:41.:03:50.

respond to the home crowd. It is one of the great things about sport, you

:03:51.:03:54.

turn up, you think you know what is going to happen, but you never

:03:55.:04:01.

know. It will be a great games. It may be a worry for the games

:04:02.:04:06.

organisers, but it could be an opportunity for someone else to

:04:07.:04:11.

shine. The gearbox of a helicopter which

:04:12.:04:15.

crashed into the North Sea killing 16 men was almost fully replaced a

:04:16.:04:18.

year before the accident. A fatal accident inquiry has been hearing

:04:19.:04:21.

that the gearbox failed on April the first 2009 causing the Super Puma to

:04:22.:04:26.

crash. Kevin Keane is at the Town House on Aberdeen where the inquiry

:04:27.:04:29.

is taking place. This came from the maintenance

:04:30.:04:38.

manager at Bond helicopters who was giving evidence this afternoon. He

:04:39.:04:42.

was asked to take the enquiry through a series of complex

:04:43.:04:47.

documents about the maintenance history of this particular flight.

:04:48.:04:52.

It showed that between the ninth and 11th of April 2008, missed all of

:04:53.:04:58.

the main gearbox on the helicopter was replaced. The final component

:04:59.:05:02.

which was not replaced was swapped about six months later. All other of

:05:03.:05:13.

the gearbox is expected to have a life of about 2000 hours. We know

:05:14.:05:17.

that it was the main gearbox that was at fault when the crash

:05:18.:05:20.

happened. He was asked whether he could tell whether it was replaced

:05:21.:05:25.

by a new gearbox or one that had been overhauled, but he said he

:05:26.:05:29.

could not help the information given. We also heard from another

:05:30.:05:34.

engineer who was on duty around the time just before the crash happened

:05:35.:05:40.

when a fault was discovered in that mean gearbox. A computer system had

:05:41.:05:56.

flagged it up. -- that main gearbox. They checked over the helicopter

:05:57.:06:00.

when it returned, it was clear to fly, but then crashed.

:06:01.:06:06.

A compensation claim has been lodged against the operators of a police

:06:07.:06:09.

helicopter which crashed in Glasgow last year. Ten people died when the

:06:10.:06:19.

Eurocopter EC 135 fell onto the roof of the Clutha Bar in the city centre

:06:20.:06:24.

on November the 29th. An inquiry into the cause of the crash is

:06:25.:06:28.

continuing. Gavin Fulton was on his way home to

:06:29.:06:32.

his family after a Christmas night out with friends. As he walked down

:06:33.:06:35.

Dundas Street in Edinburgh, a car driven by a drunk driver mounted the

:06:36.:06:39.

pavement and ran him down. He was pronounced dead a few hours later.

:06:40.:06:43.

Today the man at the wheel of the car was jailed for five years.

:06:44.:06:46.

Cameron Buttle reports from the High Court in Edinburgh.

:06:47.:06:49.

Keith McCardle had had four drinks on the night he killed Gavin Fulton,

:06:50.:06:55.

but they had put him 1.5 times over the legal drink drive limit.

:06:56.:06:59.

Witnesses said he was out of control when he swerved across the road and

:07:00.:07:06.

mounted the pavement. Today, McArdle was sentenced to five years in jail.

:07:07.:07:14.

If you are aware of anybody about to drive after drinking alcohol, please

:07:15.:07:22.

do everything in your power to stop them. Remember, if you do nothing,

:07:23.:07:32.

you must share the responsibility. We believe the sentence properly

:07:33.:07:37.

punishes the offender, but it also publishes his family and friends so

:07:38.:07:42.

this sickening carousel of misery punishes a widening group of people.

:07:43.:07:49.

One year on, tributes so mark the spot where Gavin Fulton was killed.

:07:50.:07:54.

He was a popular man, a man with two young daughters, a man always

:07:55.:07:59.

willing to help other people. He was a man walking along the pavement,

:08:00.:08:04.

walking home to his family after a night out. His family seat they

:08:05.:08:11.

accept the sentence handed down by the judge. His father said he had no

:08:12.:08:21.

feelings about McArdle. We hope that you do's sentence. Someone somewhere

:08:22.:08:26.

from drinking and driver. -- that today's sentence. And save another

:08:27.:08:33.

innocent family from the trauma we have had to endure this year and for

:08:34.:08:37.

years to come. I beg you, do not drink and drive. McArdle was also

:08:38.:08:44.

banned from drinking and dry dash from driving for a further eight

:08:45.:08:46.

years. You're watching Reporting Scotland

:08:47.:08:55.

from the BBC. Still to come on the programme. The full weekend weather.

:08:56.:08:59.

In sport, we're in Melbourne assessing Andy Murray's Australian

:09:00.:09:02.

Open prospects with a previous winner. And we'll hear from both

:09:03.:09:05.

managers ahead of tonight's match in the Scottish Premiership. See you

:09:06.:09:07.

soon. A man accused of murdering his

:09:08.:09:10.

mother told police she was hard work and a difficult person. Seamus

:09:11.:09:17.

Dunleavy reported his mother missing on third July last year. Her remains

:09:18.:09:24.

were found on Corstorphine Hill in Edinburgh on 6th of June. Catriona

:09:25.:09:27.

Renton was in court. Philomena Dunleavy had been staying

:09:28.:09:32.

with her son at his Edinburgh flat. She went into Portobello police

:09:33.:09:38.

station asking about finding a cheap room for the night. She said her son

:09:39.:09:47.

had had an episode and she walked away from her son when he did this.

:09:48.:09:53.

She was fined in a confused state by the police later that day. James

:09:54.:09:59.

Dunleavy is accused of murdering his mother and burying her body on

:10:00.:10:02.

Corstorphine Hill last year. The court heard from a shopkeeper below

:10:03.:10:13.

the flat. James Dunleavy came into his shop and commented on the image

:10:14.:10:19.

on the front of a newspaper. He said, it's nothing like that person.

:10:20.:10:32.

He reported his mother by -- missing. A police officer came to

:10:33.:10:40.

his flat to take a statement. James Dunleavy said that his mother was

:10:41.:10:44.

hard work and difficult to look after. He said he got up one morning

:10:45.:10:52.

and she was gone and had not left a note. Police searched his flat.

:10:53.:10:59.

Despite a careful scientific examination, over a period of days

:11:00.:11:05.

using up-to-date scientific equipment, nothing was found other

:11:06.:11:11.

than a couple of blood sports. James Dunleavy denies murdering his

:11:12.:11:21.

mother. Police are investigating the

:11:22.:11:24.

discovery of human remains near a village in Argyll. The remains were

:11:25.:11:27.

discovered near Arrochar at the north end of Loch Long yesterday.

:11:28.:11:30.

Inquiries are at an early stage and it is not known whether the badly

:11:31.:11:34.

decomposed body is a man or woman. BBC Scotland understands that the

:11:35.:11:37.

remains are not those of murdered Edinburgh woman Suzanne Pilley.

:11:38.:11:41.

A scheme to protect our national dram from fake products has been

:11:42.:11:44.

launched by the Government and the whisky industry. Anyone involved in

:11:45.:11:47.

producing Scotch whisky will have to sign up to a new set of quality

:11:48.:11:50.

standards enforced by Government inspectors. Craig Anderson reports.

:11:51.:12:00.

Want to call your dram Scotch whiskey? Then prepare yourself for a

:12:01.:12:04.

visit from the W police. Every stage in the production process musty meet

:12:05.:12:16.

-- must meet strict guidelines. It is all about combating fraud, fakers

:12:17.:12:19.

and counterfeit whiskey sold here and abroad. This scheme will make it

:12:20.:12:30.

much easier to prove that Scotch whiskey is Scotch whiskey. There was

:12:31.:12:42.

already a measure of legal protection in Europe for Scotch. The

:12:43.:12:51.

new regulations are designed to reinforce that protection and

:12:52.:12:54.

standards of production from the still to the glass. Even blenders

:12:55.:12:59.

and bottlers abroad will have to sign up. It is a significant problem

:13:00.:13:03.

in places because Scotch is an aspirational brand. People want to

:13:04.:13:11.

make money out of it. If they can do that without using the genuine

:13:12.:13:23.

article, but will happen. It is the impact it will have on your

:13:24.:13:25.

reputation for the future. This scheme could extend towards Irish

:13:26.:13:31.

whiskey produced in Northern Ireland and Somerset cider. It is designed

:13:32.:13:45.

to cut down on the counterfeiters. The family of a British man arrested

:13:46.:13:49.

in Pakistan for posing as a Muslim say they want the government to help

:13:50.:13:52.

bring him back to the UK. 72-year-old Masood Ahmad is an

:13:53.:13:55.

Ahmadi Muslim, a sect that considers itself a part of Islam but has been

:13:56.:13:59.

declared non-Muslim by the Pakistani government. Mr Ahmad has now twice

:14:00.:14:02.

been refused bail and his family, who live in Glasgow, want further

:14:03.:14:05.

help from the British Government to get him released. Athar Ahmad

:14:06.:14:08.

reports. This is the moment that got Masood

:14:09.:14:13.

Ahmad thrown into jail. He's speaking to people he thinks are

:14:14.:14:17.

patients in his homoeopathic clinic in Pakistan, but the whole thing is

:14:18.:14:20.

a setup to trick him into reading a verse from the Koran. He is then

:14:21.:14:28.

reported to police and arrested. He is a member of the minority Ahmadi

:14:29.:14:32.

community. The sect have been persecuted in Pakistan. In 2010,

:14:33.:14:38.

more than 90 people were killed in two mosque attacks in Lahore.They

:14:39.:14:40.

believe they have been targeted since being declared non-Muslim by

:14:41.:14:44.

the Pakistani government. Under Pakistan's blasphemy laws, Ahmadis

:14:45.:14:47.

can face three years in jail for calling themselves Muslims or

:14:48.:14:53.

reading the Koran. His children in Glasgow want the British government

:14:54.:14:56.

to do more and bring their father back to the UK. His son and daughter

:14:57.:15:00.

are distressed by what has happened to their father. I was shocked. How

:15:01.:15:07.

could that happen to my father? He is a very kind person. I feel, one

:15:08.:15:17.

side very hopeless and also angry. I want the British government to look

:15:18.:15:20.

at the matter and do anything for us because my father is in a very bad

:15:21.:15:28.

condition, his life is at risk. In a statement, the foreign office

:15:29.:15:30.

told us... Despite this, his family want the

:15:31.:15:45.

foreign office to put further pressure on the Pakistani

:15:46.:15:49.

government. They hope their father will be reunited with them in the

:15:50.:15:51.

UK. Other stories from Scott -- from

:15:52.:16:04.

across Scotland this Friday. Aberdeen's Craiginches prison is

:16:05.:16:06.

closing its doors for good today. Opened in the 19th century, it

:16:07.:16:10.

witnessed the last man to be executed in Scotland in 1963.

:16:11.:16:12.

Prisoners will be transferred to other jails, before the new HMP

:16:13.:16:15.

Grampian in Peterhead opens this year.

:16:16.:16:19.

Two members of staff at an Edinburgh leisure centre, where a teenager

:16:20.:16:23.

died, have been suspended. 13-year-old Jamie Skinner was

:16:24.:16:25.

playing for Tynecastle Football Club's under-14s, when he collapsed

:16:26.:16:28.

at Saughton sports complex last month. An investigation is being

:16:29.:16:33.

carried out into the centre's emergency response.

:16:34.:16:38.

Low numbers of salmon, returning to Scotland's rivers to breed, is

:16:39.:16:41.

prompting calls for none to be killed before the middle of May.

:16:42.:16:44.

This year's fishing season opens soon - but the Association of Salmon

:16:45.:16:48.

Fishery Boards wants anglers to let fish escape.

:16:49.:16:52.

A Dundee scientist has been recognised for his studies on

:16:53.:16:56.

declining bee numbers. It's feared pesticides and parasites are

:16:57.:16:58.

threatening populations around the world. Dr Chris Connolly has been

:16:59.:17:03.

honoured with an award named after the actor Stephen Fry. It's really a

:17:04.:17:14.

prize not just for me but for the stakeholders who we worked with, the

:17:15.:17:17.

Scottish beekeepers Association have been fantastic in helping us try to

:17:18.:17:20.

get to the bottom of the bee decline.

:17:21.:17:22.

A young couple from Tain in the Highlands have scooped more than

:17:23.:17:25.

?500,000 on the lottery. The couple - who're due to get married this

:17:26.:17:29.

year - matched five numbers and the bonus ball last Saturday. When they

:17:30.:17:32.

first checked their ticket they thought they'd only won a few

:17:33.:17:38.

hundred pounds. We checked the ticket. I was shaking, so she took

:17:39.:17:44.

the phone and she said, which one 500 native ?6. I thought, brilliant,

:17:45.:17:47.

it will pay for the wedding photographer, then I noticed the

:17:48.:17:52.

photographer -- that I noticed that, and the world changed, brilliant.

:17:53.:17:57.

And you can find more stories from across Scotland - as always - on our

:17:58.:18:03.

website. The Hollywood by-election contest in

:18:04.:18:08.

Cowdenbeath is under way. The four largest parties have all launched

:18:09.:18:11.

their campaigns. Labour is defending a majority of more than 1200 votes.

:18:12.:18:16.

Here is our political correspondent Glen Campbell.

:18:17.:18:19.

The Cowdenbeath constituency who is to be one of Scotland's industrial

:18:20.:18:24.

heartlands. But mining it in the past. Today, unemployment is

:18:25.:18:29.

endemic, new jobs elusive so what does the next MSP need to deliver?

:18:30.:18:36.

Shops, people, customers. There's nothing happening here, everything

:18:37.:18:41.

is shutting down. Why? I don't know, there's nothing in Cowdenbeath any

:18:42.:18:46.

more. It's dismal now, shops shutting down, jobs, the whole place

:18:47.:18:56.

needs a lift. Not for nothing that bus is a deep shade of red. Once,

:18:57.:19:00.

Cowdenbeath elected communist promised. These days, Labour runs

:19:01.:19:10.

here and they want everyone to help. It should be directed towards how we

:19:11.:19:15.

support families who need to get work. The SNP, in power at Holyrood,

:19:16.:19:20.

say they are making a difference locally. Getting folk back to work

:19:21.:19:24.

and helping family budgets through the council tax freeze, the school

:19:25.:19:28.

meals initiative. That success could be much greater if we have the full

:19:29.:19:34.

powers of an independent Scotland. Conservatives say they would push

:19:35.:19:37.

for new investment. We are fighting it primarily on local issues, issues

:19:38.:19:44.

like bringing in the town centre regeneration fund. Why bother

:19:45.:19:49.

Liberal Democrats say they have the public's priorities at heart. I know

:19:50.:19:54.

what they are interested in is cutting tax, increasing pensions,

:19:55.:20:01.

getting good quality services. This by-election was caused by the sudden

:20:02.:20:06.

death of MSP Helen Eadie. Voters here and will decide who should take

:20:07.:20:10.

place in Parliament in just under a fortnight's time.

:20:11.:20:15.

You can find details of all the candidates standing in the

:20:16.:20:20.

by-election on our website. Let's go to sunny climes for news of Andy

:20:21.:20:24.

Murray. Andy Murray is just back from three

:20:25.:20:31.

months off after injury but the coach of one of his main rivals

:20:32.:20:34.

thinks he can win the Australian Open. His first opponent is

:20:35.:20:37.

little-known Japanese player Go Soeda, but tougher matches lie

:20:38.:20:40.

ahead. # Advance Australia fair #.

:20:41.:21:13.

Yes, Australia and Melbourne in particular have been happy hunting

:21:14.:21:16.

grounds for Andy Murray. He has already had a taste of the main show

:21:17.:21:21.

court here, practising in the heat of the Rod Leiva arena, where he is

:21:22.:21:26.

contested three out of the last four finals. The problem is he keeps

:21:27.:21:30.

running into this guy. Novak Djokovic just won't let the trophy

:21:31.:21:34.

go. The defending champion has won it for the last three years, beating

:21:35.:21:38.

Andy Murray each time along the way. And he clearly enjoys the company of

:21:39.:21:47.

ladies' champion Victoria Azarenka. Djokovic's new coach watched the

:21:48.:21:50.

draw and expect Andy Murray to do well despite just returning from

:21:51.:21:54.

back surgery. He knows exactly how to play well in this tournament. He

:21:55.:22:01.

loves Australia. I am sure he will be well prepared. Do you think he

:22:02.:22:05.

can win it having been out so long? Whoever has won an open or the

:22:06.:22:11.

Australian -- or Wimbledon can win the Australian Open, yes. The

:22:12.:22:17.

Wimbledon champion warmed up for his opening match by playing exhibition

:22:18.:22:24.

match against Lleyton Hewitt. He lost 7-6, 7-6, but the time on court

:22:25.:22:32.

will help him greatly. Friday night football hits Aberdeen tonight and

:22:33.:22:36.

so do Hibernian. The Terry Butcher Hibs have lost just once in nine

:22:37.:22:40.

matches and have climbed into the premiership's top six. The Dons are

:22:41.:22:44.

going well, winning seven of their last eight and sitting second in the

:22:45.:22:47.

league. Both managers are predicting it could be a night to remember. The

:22:48.:22:52.

biggest compliment I can pay Terry Butcher and his team is there is no

:22:53.:22:56.

surprise they have improved. He finds ways to win games, Terry, and

:22:57.:23:04.

his players, they are well school. It is a great test to go up there

:23:05.:23:09.

and play. It was a good game against Inverness Caley Thistle and I expect

:23:10.:23:15.

more of the same. It is two clubs with good support. Hopefully both

:23:16.:23:18.

sets of supporters come out in good numbers and make the game that bit

:23:19.:23:22.
