When a sporting event turned to tragedy.

This is the moment a rally car careered off track during a race in

Anybody does one today help, they were there for you. That is the type

of man he was. We'll also hear eyewitness

claims that spectators Six years after it raised concerns

about NHS dementia care, a health watchdog says

the standard is still unacceptable. Norwegian authorities criticise

changes to helicopter safety in Roy Keane knocks back Celtic to

stay at international level. And two Highland men are finally

honoured for tackling one of Britain's most wanted men, almost a

century after a notorious shooting. It's being claimed that spectators

were told to stand at the spot where three people were killed at

a weekend car rally in the Borders. As police appeal

for any footage or photographs of the incident an eyewitness has

told the BBC spectators were moved Meanwhile, tributes have been paid

to the three people who died when Just after four p.m., the Jim Clark

Rally was well under way, these two cars were on the stretch heading for

the bridge at Little Swinton. Here, the second car seems to lift up,

losing contact with the tarmac. Moments later, it leaves the road.

Tommy Tait says he was in standing near those who were killed. We were

told to shift by the marshals. We went to wear their marshals told us

to go and we said to them, if we stand there, there's more chance of

getting hurt. Seven cars in, and that is when the incident happened.

Len Stern, 71, was a motorsport fan. In the double garage at his home, he

had worked on Rally cars. His friends and neighbours struggle

today with the news. Such a genuine person. You could trust him. Always

carried out what he said he would. Anybody wanted a hand, he was there

for you. That is the type of man he was. Ian from Barrhead ran a

motorsport website, he died alongside his partner Elizabeth

Allen. Their neighbours are shocked. Very surprised and shocked and

saddened for the family. When you go to an event like that, you don't

expect that you won't come home again. The Lord Advocate visited the

police team investigated after investigating the deaths. It is a

popular spot for spectators. Clearly, a rally has inherent risk,

but it is a main part of the investigation to establish the steps

that were taken to mitigate those risks.

What is happening in terms of an investigation?

As you can see, the police remain here and the road is closed and I

understand it won't open until well into tomorrow. The accident took

place about half a mile down the road and the police have been here

all day trying to gather evidence that answer the questions of why the

car crashed and why the spectators were standing where they work? A

horrendous outcome to what should have been an enjoyable weekend.

Three people are dead, and one other person remained in Scotland. And

there was an accident early on those two axles, one man raids in hospital

iteration to that. Early on in the police inquiry. It is effectively up

to them to gather together the body of evidence needed.

People with severe dementia still aren't getting acceptable care

from the NHS in Scotland, according to a mental health watchdog.

The Mental Welfare Commission says there are huge variations

in standards of care, six years after it first raised concerns.

Today there are nearly 88,000 people with dementia in Scotland.

It's estimated it costs about ?2.3 billion a year to care for them.

And Alzheimers Scotland says that with an ageing population the number

of people with dementia is expected to double over the next 25 years.

Here's our Health Correspondent, Eleanor Bradford.

82-year-old Bill Oliver had cancer and dementia when he was admitted to

Allen 's Glen hospital. His daughter was warned that it was

understaffed, but nothing prepared her for what she saw. We found him

in a distressed state, partially dressed, with liquid spilled all

in a distressed state, partially dressed, with liquid spilled over

him and a table next to him with everything he needed, but he could

not reach it. We saw staff running from room to room, when we spoke to

them, without exception, they were all in tears saying, we feel we have

let you down. Our hearts went out to them. Understaffing was one of a

range of problems the commission found when it visited units. It

found stark rooms, some with no windows, poor care plans, one of

which included as an emergency contact a spouse who had been dead

for 30 years, and sedation being used as a first not last resort.

That is after two documents and standards of care. One day that will

be me or you with no one. No one to look after you. Something has to

change. Care doesn't have to be buried. Here we have our telephone

box. Year, local people helped conduct community Hospital build a

dementia friendly garden. In the 13 years since opened, they have never

had a single complaint. By having outdoor space, it helps people to

move between one area and another and make people,. It can make

behaviours that distressed people less. --,

transfer much more power to Holyrood if Scotland rejects independence

full independence will grant Here's our political editor

Brian Taylor. At clay-court HQ, this is a

conservative counter to independence. Lord Strathclyde

explained the thinking. Meat of the glue that binds the union. The

Tories says that Hollywood should control income tax. It will enable

the Tories to offer a tax cut in Scotland. I think this will have a

knock-on benefit, but we're doing this because we think there is a

problem, the fiscal gap, but it is not in charge of how the money is

raised. We want MSPs to think about the taxpayer before they spend

money. The Tories once to devolve housing benefit, while allowing to

top up benefit if it can afford it. This is the latest in a series of

powers to increase Holyrood power. The Liberal Democrats go further

giving Scotland control income tax, Capital Gains Tax and inheritance

tax. The big decision for people is whether they want to rely on limited

proposals from the Tories, a party that has a track record of broken

promises, or whether they want to guarantee the full range of powers

that Scotland needs and the only way to get back is to vote yes. The plan

much the same companies that operate on both sides, but the framework

they do it in is different in both countries. Many feel that operating

here is more expensive. The Museum charts the reason, unions have a

greater say survey, the and the regulator or have too agreed changes

would worry about operating in the UK. The risk of accidents, I think

One of the big questions around the Referendum is what life along a

border would look like. So our economics correspondent Colletta

Smith is at the UK's only current border, Northern Ireland. All this

week she'll be exploring the border economy, and tonight she's in

Strabane looking at where people spend their money.

They are working hard on their promotions here.

We are right on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic.

It is that proximity to the border that means that businesses here do

so well. I am joined tonight by the manager of this store. Tell me about

the kind of people that cross over the border. What do they spend their

money on? We generally get people coming in once a week across the

border to do shopping and bulk up on non-food item. Baby products,

alcohol, things they can find cheaper here.

You have seen a lot of change over the years. When do things work well

for you? A strong euro is advantageous for the customer

because they come in bigger numbers when the euro is stronger because

they get more value. The customer is always keen for value.

There is an ebb and flow across the border of people travelling north

and south. I got in the car earlier today to find out why people are

crossing from Northern Ireland into the Republic. It is not far to the

border, but today is the bank holiday in the Republic and that

means a lot of traffic. There is a lot of northern traffic crossing

into the South. As the blunted petrol station, it is obvious why.

We live close to the border so it is all passing trade. I always fill up

on this side. Usually there is a big difference in the price. It is

usually cheaper on this site. It is 25% cheaper here. Shopping is

cheaper in the North. You get good deals but it is easier just to go

there for shopping. They can pay in sterling or euros.

One of the reasons... As you have heard, people are crossing the

border on both sides. Today I have done an experiment. I bought the

same things both North and South of the border. Bread, milk, orange

juice, sausages... This is the back from Northern Ireland. ?9.41.

Exactly the same shop in the Republic, and it was ?12.59. That is

the kind of difference we are talking about. Back in the

difference for families. Join me tomorrow when I will talk about how

businesses operate around a border. Fascinating.

Celtic's loss is the Republic of Ireland's gain.

Roy Keane has said he does not want to be considered for the Celtic

manager's job, and will instead remain as Martin O'Neill's assistant

with the Republic. That's come as a surprise to one former Celtic number

2, and a relief, it would seem, to some fans.

It seems Irish eyes are smiling. Roy Keane is clearly happy at the

Republic of Ireland's assistant manager and is in no hurry to

leave, taking himself out of the running for the Celtic job. It was

left to the Football Association to confirm that Roy Keane will travel

to the United States after deciding not to pursue talks with Celtic any

further. One man is surprised that Roy Keane has pulled out but said

the club is not short of candidates. Malky Mackay, or in coil, are both

candidates for the job. So much good experience between them. -- Owen

Coyle. I am not too disappointed. Not my first choice.

I am looking for a coach, someone who is a student of the game.

phone call has been made to Vienna where there is a meeting of European

Andy Murray is through to the quarter-finals of the French Open.

The World number eight overcame Spain's Fernando Verdasco in

straight sets to win his fourth round tie. Murray had to come from

two sets down to win the last time they met. This time it was not so

Andy Murray has won nine of the previous ten meetings with this

opponent and is determined to add to that tally. The full resident yellow

shirts copy I am dead and the money's touch. Although the Spaniard

broke back, his coaching team looked concerned as Andy Murray regained

the edge and tied up the first set. The second set went with serve until

Murray broke in the 11th game and in the third set point, the Scot

delivered. It was a frustrating day for the Spaniard. At one stage,

money's body was in the line of fire. The third set went to a

tie-break, but Murray withstood the pressure to clinch the victory. He

will now face Frenchman Gael Monfils in the quarterfinal.

Now, a look at what else is happening across Scottish sport.

Falkirk manager Gary Holt has quit to become first team coach at

Norwich City. He'll assist Canaries manager Neil Adams. The pair

previously worked together at the Norwich youth academy.

Former Hearts defender Jamie Hamill has signed for Kilmarnock. Hamill

began his career at Rugby Park, making nearly 150 appearances for

Killie before moving to Hearts. He returns on a 3 year deal.

Anna Signeul has named her squad for Scotland's Womens World Cup double

headers against Sweden and Northern Ireland. First up Sweden at Fir Park

- The Scots are top of the group having won all 6 of their games, but

They are physically strong, fast, I think there technical ability is

also very high. So, to get something out of the game we need to do a very

good job, but I think we can do it. We can perform well against them.

Stephen Gallacher increased his money and Ryder Cup team chances at

the Nordea Masters in Sweden. A missed birdie in the first hole of

the play-off meant the Scot tied for second place.

The winner was Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand.

And there are more sports stories - plus all the latest news, 24 hours a

Two men have been honoured for their bravery in tackling Britain's most

wanted man - almost a century after they were injured in a notorious

shooting. The pair, a police constable and a local farmer, were

shot by Percy Toplis, a fraudster and murderer known as the monocled

mutineer. Craig Anderson has the story.

Bravery commendation is being handed to the grandsons of PC George Greig

and farmer John Grant. 94 years ago they were shot and injured after

investigating an uninvited guest at this bothy. The man was Percy

Toplis. He was. He was doubly Monocled Mutineer, passing himself

off as a top Army officer. He fled to the Highlands after shooting dead

a cab driver in England. He spoke with the fake American

accent and used a false name. He said he was a recently demobbed

soldiers from the American army. A bit of theatrics went on before he

was found. The story of his life was made into

a BBC series in the 1980s but that was a largely fictionalised

account. In reality, he was a conman and desperate killer.

He had already moderately taxi driver and shot other people by the

time he came here. So he was not a good person. A murderer.

After shooting the men, he rode off to Aberdeen on his bicycle. He was

tracked down and shot dead in Penrith.

That was merely bulleted the wall. The men's actions almost certainly

hastened the Monocled Mutineer's MIs.

It is a fairly grisly souvenir I have here. The last desperate days

on the run of the Monocled Mutineer. It has been a disappointing start to

June for most of us. But it has been mild. Not many of us have seen any

sunshine. Plenty of cloud across the country. Some bits and pieces of and

patchy rain. We will keep that going this evening. A lot of cloud will

become misty and murky. Some heavier stuff in Argyll later in to the

night. Around 12 Celsius. That is how we start the day tomorrow. Low

cloud and mist with outbreaks of rain. In the afternoon, we see sky

brightening from the West with good spells of sunshine getting through.

As that Sun gets going and temperatures start to rise, we will

see showers triggered off and some will be heavy, especially in the

east. The Borders could experience a rumble of thunder. Some showers will

be heavy and slow moving. Across the West, pure showers. Temperatures for

most 16 degrees. Cooler and staying misty on the East Coast. Through the

rest of the afternoon tomorrow, showers persist, some heavy, and

tomorrow night most of those will clear and it will be a dry start on

Wednesday. Low pressure still dominating. A more unsettled

datacom. Early brightness for the North, but then they climbed

steadily increases, rain pushing in from the south-west and spreading

across all parts during the day. On Thursday, weather fronts arrive

bringing more rain. A much better day to come on Friday.

Now, a reminder of tonight's main news. It's being claimed that

spectators were told to stand at the spot where three people were killed

at a weekend car rally in the borders. As police appeal for any

footage or photographs of the incident an eyewitness has told the

And that's Reporting Scotland. Have a very good evening.
