Berkshire. Now it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
On tonight's Reporting Scotland: Trump is teed off. The American | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
billionaire loses a legal challenge to stop the construction of this | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
wind farm near his golf resort. Join me to discover what this Basque | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
power station built inside a Spanish mountain can teach us about the | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
future of electricity generation in Scotland. Find out how much of your | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
tax is spent on paying motorists whose cars are wrecked by potholes. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Everyone gets attached to their cars as well as the practical purpose of | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
getting us to work and so when it gets damaged it feels sore. Fewer | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
than half of parents have spoken to their children about the risks of | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
internet bullying, but will more talking do any good? And ups and | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
downs on the Olympics slopes. We bring you an eventful day for the | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Scots in Sochi. Good Evening. The American | :01:02. | :01:18. | |
billionaire, Donald Trump, has lost a legal challenge to prevent the | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
construction of an offshore wind farm within sight of his Scottish | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
golf resort. He claimed the eleven turbine scheme off the Aberdeenshire | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
coast would spoil the view and the Scottish government's approval of it | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
was unlawful. But today that was rejected by the Court of Session. | :01:34. | :01:45. | |
Kevin Keane reports. It is the ultimate sea battle. In one corner, | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
the billionaire businessman who wants the view from his golf course | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
is kept clear of obstructions. Donald Trump has threatened to walk | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
away from Scotland if he does not get his way. The turbine research | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
facility that says it will provide enough power for 16,000 homes and be | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
the backbone of Scotland's renewable industry. The American tycoon has | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
lost in the courts. This is welcome news for us, it is a major milestone | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
in our project but they still have the of hard work to do. This huge | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
hotel was to bring jobs and investment but it is now on hold | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
with Donald Trump threatening to pull the plug. It has not said | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
explicitly today that it will walk away but he says he will now focus | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
all his investment and energy on another project. In a statement, the | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
Trump Organisation said we are reviewing Lord Doherty 's decision | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
and will pursue the legal options available to us. Despite today's | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
decision the proposal has numerous economic and legal obstacles. A new | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
substation has been rejected by Aberdeenshire planners. The | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
developers still expect to be connected to the gate by 2017. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
Today's ruling brings neither side's case crashing down. Both | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
teams will now be considering their next move and countermove. | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
ScottishPower says it's considering a massive investment in a hydro | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
power scheme near Oban which would double the amount of electricity it | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
produces. The First Minister says the possible expansion of the | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Cruachan pump storage station could be part of a renaissance for the | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
sector. He was speaking as he visited Europe's largest hydro power | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
scheme near the Spanish city of Valencia, From there our environment | :03:51. | :04:02. | |
correspondent, David Miller. This is the massive hydroelectric scheme | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
near Valencia. It is a long way from Argyll but this place gives us a | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
glimpse of what the future could have in store for Scotland's all | :04:13. | :04:25. | |
mountain. -- Hall mountain. It has been helping keep our lights on | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
since the 1960s. When there is a surplus of electricity and water is | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
pumped from the lock into a reservoir on the side. Then it is | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
released, generating electricity from turbines down below. It sits | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
very nicely too complimentary likes of wind turbines. If the wind comes | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
and goes we can fill in the gaps. It is dwarfed by schemes like this one | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
in Spain. The first minister came to see for himself. Clearly impressed, | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
he believes Scotland has the opportunity to go back to the | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
future. Hydropower and the combination with wind power provide | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
the cleanest, greenest and most cost-effective way to produce carbon | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
power. Let's mobilise the great power of the Highlands of Scotland | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
and bring that electricity to people at a competitive cost. There are | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
many major hurdles to overcome, technical challenges and the | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
planning process among them. There is one issue that does not seem to | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
be troubling the boss of the Spanish organisation. That is independence. | :05:51. | :06:07. | |
We do not worry about that. It will be several years before our scheme | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
can rival the one in Spain but one thing is for sure, it schemes like | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
these will have an important role to play in our future energy mix. The | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
driver of the car that knocked down and killed three young women any | :06:28. | :06:38. | |
city centre was unresponsive. It was in 2010 when he hit the 18-year-old | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
and 20-year-old. He was driving at speed on the pavement, keypad | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
blackouts for three years before the incident. There's a race against | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
time to bring a badly burned baby from Pakistan to Scotland for | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
life-saving treatment. The Glasgow-based uncle of | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
three-month-old Mohammad Suda has been campaigning to bring him here | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
for weeks after he was injured in a gas explosion that killed his | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
family. Now the Scottish Government has stepped in to speed up the visa | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
process. You may find some of the pictures in Suzanne Allan's report | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
upsetting. This is the beautiful baby born last October, he had less | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
than two months of family life before his father, brother and | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
mother were killed when gas ripped through their apartment last | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
September. This is him now. Horrific burns scar his body. He has | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
breathing problems and the spectre of infection is never far away. | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Today, his uncle is applying for a Beazer to bring him to Scotland. It | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
could mean the difference between life and death. He has a lot of | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
third-degree burns, there were infections, his face as been | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
affected. They were other complications because he inhale gas. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
Their are a lot of complications with his health. His uncle has been | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
campaigning and lobbying for the past few weeks to get his nephew | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
brought you to Scotland. He has raised thousands of pounds through | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
this website but last week the Scottish Government gave the green | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
light and he could be here within days. For this man, the child is all | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
that is left of his brother. You'll macro we really want him to live, it | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
is difficult, I know that one day we all die out to die in these | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
circumstances is very difficult. We had three people taken away from us | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
within a week. I do not know how to say thank you to the Scottish people | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
for responding very quickly and efficiently. The hope is that the | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
trial will be issued a Beazer which is what his uncle calls a second | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
chance at life. Still to come on on tonight's programme: No more traffic | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
wardens in the Borders in two weeks time, but will there be parking | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
chaos? In Sport: a real cliffhanger involving our curlers at the winter | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Olympics, and a first for this Scots skier - so why is he so | :09:17. | :09:29. | |
disappointed? We'll tell you later. Apologies for our pictorial | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
technical problems. Hopefully things will settle down. How much is your | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
local council paying out in pothole compensation? Last year Scotland's | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
local authorities spent a total of more than half a million pounds, but | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
the individual amounts differed greatly. Glasgow paid out ?360,000, | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
others paid nothing. Julie Peacock reports. There is no doubt about it, | :09:45. | :09:58. | |
drivers and Scotland have been experiencing a bumpy ride these past | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
few years. Cold winters and tighter council budgets have created | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
difficult conditions for potholes. This man's garage bill was ?650 | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
after he hit a pothole on the way to work. It just got bigger and you | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
could not drive around it. I got here and had to flat tyres, a local | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
mechanic said one of my fields was actually buckled by it. He was paid | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
compensation but he does not see the compensation getting better. Some of | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
the roads in the city are just atrocious. New potholes spring up at | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
night and you think they'd is another one. When you drive the same | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
route you noticed how long the potholes are bare. The extent of the | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
problem depends greatly on query you are driving. In Orkney the paid out | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
no money to drivers but in Aberdeenshire at the paid out | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
?34,000 last year. Glasgow paid out almost ?360,000 in compensation for | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
damage caused to cars by portals like this. Even the heel and snow | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
has not stopped the drive to get rid of portals in Glasgow. The council | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
says it is spending more on fixing them and has paid out less than a | :11:33. | :11:43. | |
third as a result. The patching breaks up and leads to more portals | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
but in doing so they are putting more money into long-term work. I | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
think we will see a lot more portals and the need for compensation. I'd | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
macro the potholes and the damage could be where fires for years to | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
come. -- could be with us for years to come. A group of Edinburgh | :12:08. | :12:21. | |
teenagers has been talking about their experience of the dangers of | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
the internet and cyberbullying. It comes as parents and carers are | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
being urged to talk more to youngsters about online safety. A | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
poll found fewer than half of parents have spoken to their | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
children about the risks. Morag Kinniburgh reports. When Internet | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
safety breaks down the effect on young people can be felt greatly. It | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
can be embarrassing when photos or comments about you have been made | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
public. Teenagers are being made aware of potential Internet | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
pitfalls. Individual bullying is bad enough but cyber billing can be seen | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
in papers, people have taken their own lives because they cannot handle | :12:59. | :13:15. | |
it. -- bullying. And in the adult. -- many feel they cannot talk to an | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
adult. I would go to a friend first. Then an adult after that, like a | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
guidance teacher. Many parents feel they are not up-to-date with the | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
technology. Experts say it is best to speak about the issue early | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
before problems emerge. We're not trying to say you would get a row. | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
But if you can deal with it, become more confident, you are better at | :13:49. | :13:59. | |
dealing with technology in future. Rather than try to keep up with | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
technology, which is the wrong place to be looking, it is keeping up with | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
the principles of how to be safe and how to use technology, however it | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
evolves. The onus is on parents and carers to find out about the risks. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
And to learn what to do if there is a problem. | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
Farmers would get a better deal from the European Union if Scotland was | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
independent, according to the rural affairs secretary, speaking to the | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
NFU today. But recent UK government calculations suggest Scotland would | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
lose more than it gains in the event of a Yes vote. We have looked at | :14:41. | :14:52. | |
those competing claims. The rural affairs secretary believes | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
that farmers are not getting the best possible deal. He looks at the | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
issue of direct farm payments and said that if Scotland was already | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
independent it would get an extra 1 billion euros between now and 2020. | :15:06. | :15:18. | |
He is not saying that the deal and the Common agricultural policy would | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
be reopened, but is saying that an independent Scottish government | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
could secure a better deal, next time. I'm struck by the number of | :15:25. | :15:34. | |
farmers who now say they are voting yes because they see what a bad deal | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
they get from the UK government. We are more pro-agriculture. | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
He reckons we're getting the lowest rate in the European Union at the | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
moment. The UK government has said it will stage a review in 2016. But | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
they have also looked at the share of funding for Scotland more | :16:01. | :16:12. | |
generally and in an analysis paper it concluded that Scotland could | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
have raised more money as an independent country, but cancelled | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
it out by losing access to the UK rebate. It said that Scotland would | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
be, at best, 2 billion euros worse off. At worst, twice as much. We | :16:31. | :16:45. | |
have heard this before. There is no escaping from the truth that by | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
being independent Scotland would be out of the European Union. The | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
Scottish government disputes the UK figures, saying an independent | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
Scotland could keep a share of the rebate. The problem for the voters | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
is that you only find out what deal Scotland can negotiate following a | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
Yes vote. There are no negotiations in advance. | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
The boss of Barclays bank has told the BBC his bank can make it work in | :17:24. | :17:35. | |
the event of independence. It is a matter for the Scottish | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
people. We can make it work either way. You have no view about it being | :17:41. | :17:54. | |
good or bad? I don't, no. And we will have a programme about what | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
people think are the most important issues in the debate, tonight, at | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
9pm. Some of the stories making the news | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
now. Two people were killed when their car was involved in a | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
collision with a fan in Aberdeen child, named as Dennis Morris and | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
Margaret Watson, from Fraser Boro. -- Aberdeenshire. | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
Two young men have been verbally abused, chaste, and hit with rocks | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
in an apparent racist attack in Edinburgh. -- chased. The memory of | :18:32. | :18:41. | |
Pakistani and Arabian ethnicity. -- the men were. | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
Equipment to block mobile phone signals being sent or received in | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
jails is about to come on stream. Pilot schemes will take place from | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
April. The number of people visiting the | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
Outer Hebrides has risen by 30% in six years. A visitor survey said | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
more than 280,000 people visited the aisles and spent more than ?53.5 | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
million between October 2012 and ten to 2013. -- September. | :19:16. | :19:24. | |
The numbers of grey like these have grown rapidly over the years causing | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
problems for crofters and farmers. -- geese. | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
Engineers constructing the new forefront crossing say they have | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
overcome difficulties but insist major challenges lie ahead. These | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
new images have been released as the project approaches its halfway | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
stage. -- for road crossing. -- Forth. | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
Traffic wardens have never been the most popular legal enforcers. But | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
soon there will be none whatsoever in the Borders. There are claims | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
there will be chaos in the high Street. This is Bill Anderson's last | :20:10. | :20:21. | |
week on the beat. His job is going as police Scotland withdraw all | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
wardens. Soon there will be none left in the Borders. The police will | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
continue to deal with serious parking issues. But in places like | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
this there is growing concern. The main high street. One way. You are | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
only allowed to park for half an hour at a time. And it is highly | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
unlikely the police will monitor that. Local businesses say they | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
already have a problem with people breaking the rules. It will be | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
jam-packed, people will just leave their cars and forget about it. I | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
don't think it will be policed. We want to see a steady flow of | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
traffic. One way of achieving that is having a steady flow of traffic | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
wardens. So this will be a blow to the high street when it needs all | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
the help it can get. In many parts of Scotland wardens are run by local | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
councils and have been for years. In the Borders, the police service | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
stops at the end of next month, there is nothing to replace them. We | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
had very limited cover to begin with. We will work with the police | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
and... But nobody ever knew where the wardens with the, so there was a | :21:40. | :21:49. | |
deterrent. -- would be. We will look very carefully to see what actions | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
we can take. Any solution remains months away. | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
And now the sport. It has been a mixed bag at the Winter Olympics. | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
Hopes were high for several Scots. Andrew Musgrave showed early promise | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
by becoming the first footage competitor to reach the | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
quarterfinals of a cross-country ski sprint. But that was as good as it | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
got. -- the first British competitor. The family arrived early | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
to support their son, and daughter, both competing. The sprint race was | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
the best medal chance for Andrew Musgrave, but he failed to make the | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
semifinals. He was defeated by Norwegians who had previously | :22:49. | :22:49. | |
defeated in the national championships they are. As soon as | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
we got to the long hill, I felt I was not having a good day, sometimes | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
you have those bad days. It sucks that it happened at the Olympics. | :23:07. | :23:20. | |
It wasn't the day for snowboarder Ben Kilmer, who crashed out in 16th. | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
I felt myself coming away from the wall. I tried to get my shoulder | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
cross but the impact was too heavy. A lots of mistakes. I have good days | :23:35. | :23:44. | |
and bad days. Today was a bad day. After all the hope, Scotland has | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
failed to win a medal on snow today. But the skiers will be back in | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
action before the end of the week. We all have good and bad days. | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
Better luck in the curling? Well, there was a traumatic finish to the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
game between Great Britain and Germany. Poised at 6-6, the German | :24:06. | :24:14. | |
team had a shot to win the match. Here is what happened. The last | :24:15. | :24:24. | |
stone. Chance to take the final. Just needs a good job here to | :24:25. | :24:36. | |
replace that British stone. This is not taking the pool. My word! | :24:37. | :24:47. | |
Exciting. So the men have two victories. The women's team had lost | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
their opening match before playing the United States today. Not a | :24:53. | :25:05. | |
cliffhanger, they won 7-1. If that is not enough excitement, here's the | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
rest of the day 's sports news. The world and Olympic marathon | :25:12. | :25:21. | |
champion, Steven Kiprotic, has pulled out of the Commonwealth Games | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
to concentrate on the London Marathon. But you will be able to | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
see the cycling road race for free. It will take in Buchanan Street and | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
Argyle Street and the route has been made public. Terry Butcher says | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
Hibernian must finish in the top half of the premiership. They were | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
defeated in the Scottish cup by Raith Rovers on Saturday. We can | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
still salvage something from this season and it is well within the | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
capability of the players. Stephen Gallacher of Linlithgow is | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
the European tour golfer of the month for January after winning the | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
Desert classic. More stories, plus the latest news, | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
on our website. That is all for now. | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
And now the weather. Not pleasant. The unsettled weather continues, the | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
wintry theme, and as a result, a yellow warning from the Met Office. | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
You are likely to see some snow between tonight and tomorrow. | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
Showers continue tonight, especially in western areas. They will tend to | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
be confined to north-western areas by the end of the night. Elsewhere, | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
dry with a widespread frost and the risk of ice. Around freezing tonight | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
for most. In some rural spots, minus three Celsius. A settled start | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
tomorrow, although we are watching out for this weather system from the | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
south. Tomorrow morning, we continue with wintry showers. Elsewhere, dry | :27:20. | :27:29. | |
and clear. It will turn cloudy and wet in the South. Snow over the | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
higher ground of southern and central areas. Moving to the north | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
during the course of the afternoon. We could see snow at low levels for | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
a brief time, especially in the Glasgow area, but very brief. A more | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
detailed look at tomorrow afternoon. More in the way of showers. Snow | :27:51. | :27:56. | |
will turn back to rain for southern and central parts. North of the | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
central belt, we continue to see snow primarily over high ground, | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
leading to hazardous driving conditions. In some areas will stay | :28:06. | :28:15. | |
largely dry until light afternoon. Looking ahead to the evening, the | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
rain and snow continues its journey to the North. Wintry showers into | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
the West. Very windy in the South. | :28:22. | :28:25. |
