The evidence is overwhelming. Please hear our voice. | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
We have news of a major intervention by Gordon | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
And we speak to Motherwell's new general manager who tells us | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
his priority is to keep Stuart McCall at the club. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
A man is facing a life sentence tonight | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
for burning his ex-wife to death in the hairdressers where she worked. | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Today, a jury found Ahmad Yazdanparast guilty of murder. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
He and his ex-wife Ahdeih had recently divorced when he doused her | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
You may find some images in Morag Kinniburgh's report distressing. | :01:21. | :01:36. | |
Ahmad Yazdanparast takes a container from his car to buy petrol. He used | :01:37. | :01:51. | |
it to murder his ex-wife. He was known as Chico by many locals. This | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
was his takeaway, his ex-wife's beauty salon was below. He went down | :02:02. | :02:22. | |
to the beauty salon and through the view over his ex-wife and then set | :02:23. | :02:38. | |
fire to her. CCTV footage shows how the entered the salon. There was an | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
explosion, then he fled upstairs. Look at the top of the screen. Once | :02:44. | :02:44. | |
outside, he collapsed. Passers-by came to help. Despite their efforts, | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Ahdeih Khayatzadeh died later that day in hospital. I have never | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
experienced anything like this. It is particularly unusual. He attacked | :02:50. | :02:50. | |
his wife during the marriage. She told police he had threatened to | :02:51. | :02:50. | |
kill her and pour acid in her face. Her death left a huge void in their | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
lives. Too many young people are not | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
ready for the world of work. That's the finding of a major report | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
for the Scottish Government aimed at tackling the problem | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
of youth unemployment through Current figures show that 53,000 | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
Scots aged between 16 But, according to today's report, | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
the rate here is more than double that of the countries with | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
the best vocational education. Here's our education | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
correspondent Jamie McIvor. From fixing bikes to making cakes, at the | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
school, getting practical skills for a job I'd just as valuable as | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
academic subjects. Kieran's course includes childcare. Instead of going | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
to a call age or university -- college, you can stay in school and | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
gets some grades here. All of the students stay on for a fifth and | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
sixth year. Doing this has meant tailoring the range of subjects on | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
offer. We can young people don't have bounced higher English and | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
young people who are doing tactical craft skills. -- advanced higher. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Little wonder the craft skills. -- advanced higher. | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Little wonder school was picked for the launch of a wide-ranging report. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
A lot of recommendations the launch of a wide-ranging report. | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
A lot of build on what is already good practice. Better careers | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
education, close employers between schools and colleges and most | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
importantly to help companies take on young people. We have not been | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
good about businesses spending enough time and employing young | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
people, so we have made suggestions to build bridges. Scotland's economy | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
has changed and so has the way that young people gain skills for work. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Once, school leavers competed to get into the shipyards, now a college | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
where youngsters are learning a trade and getting jobs and | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
apprenticeships through the links between the college and local | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
employers. We work with a number of local employers and place students | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
in a range of apprenticeship programmes. They come to college | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
first and get a broad range of skills. It raises their | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
employability. Then employers can select from these students. The | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
Government says it is committed to cutting youth unemployment and will | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
give a full response to the report soon. | :05:43. | :05:43. | |
Still to come on tonight's programme: | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
How one of Scotland's best-known authors is turning her hand to | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
In sport, a step up for a familiar face at Motherwell. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
New general manager Allan Burrows reveals his number one priority | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
More on that, and the rest of the sport coming soon. | :05:55. | :06:06. | |
Around 1,500 women in Scotland receive mesh implants every year, | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
usually to treat a prolapsed bladder and relieve | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
But some have been left in constant pain after the implants hardened. | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
Today a group of women put their case for the procedure to be | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Our political correspondent Lucy Adams reports. | :06:22. | :06:34. | |
Karen Neal says doctors told her it was a routine operation. She awoke | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
screaming in agony and says the pain has not stopped. I am totally | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
incontinence, in constant pain. I do not have a break from it, I cannot | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
drive or work. I got signed on fit for work in March, I am 46 and it is | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
life changing. It is awful that they are still doing it. Karen is one of | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
around 1500 women in Scotland who undergo this procedure each year. | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
She says for her and hundreds of others, there has been serious, | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
irreversible complications. This is the mesh used to tie newspapers, | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
campaigners claim it is the same material causing devastating health | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
implications for hundreds of women across Scotland. They have called | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
for Holyrood to take urgent action. Their question is why is this | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
procedure still taking place question mark --? . An emotional | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
plea was made today. Please study the dossier, the evidence is | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
overwhelming. Please hear us. The Health Secretary has written to the | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
regulators, but says it is not up to the Government to suspend the use of | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
the implants. We are not a regulatory authority and it is not | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
our responsibility to do that. While a significant number of women, up to | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
a fifth of all women who've had these operations have had real | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
problems, the other 80% seem to be OK. The regulatory authority said | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
that while their own research found... | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Lawyers said that the 400 women already taking legal action are just | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
the tip of the iceberg. For them, any ban would come too late. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
A been ordered to improve | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
its cleaning procedures after inspectors found dried blood | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
on patient trolleys Unannounced inspections to | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Ayr Hospital in April uncovered issues with cleanliness in the | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
accident and emergency department. Managers say "immediate steps" | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
are being been taken. A review of spectator safety | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
at sporting events has been ordered Kenny MacAskill has asked police | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
to report back within four weeks. It follows the deaths | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
of three people at the Jim Clark Two people are still in hospital, | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
one in a critical condition. This week, new rules on helicopter | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
safety are being introduced. It follows a series of North Sea | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
crashes over the past few years. The changes will try to move | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
the industry closer to the Norwegian model, which has | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
a far better safety record. But trade unions there say any | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
replication won't work here, because unions have to be equally | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
involved in decisions. is described as Europe's wooden | :09:32. | :09:43. | |
city, but it is actually built on oil. Among the tourists are clues to | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
the industry that support it, this city service platforms in the | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
eastern half of the North Sea. An industry that looks similar to | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
Scotland's, apart from the fact they have not lost a helicopter since | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
1998. The big difference seems to be the power of the unions and there is | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
a feeling that if the unionisation would crumble, the safety record | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
would go with it. The Norwegian model for safety is built on the | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
unions, operators and having an equal say. Our regulations are built | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
on unions and strong safety delegates. Only by copying the | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
regulations will it work. You have to make solid, before you can change | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
the regulations. That would mean we strengthen in the UK unions. Yes. | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
This is what led to the current safety model. 123 people were | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
killed. It was the Norwegian Piper Alpha. This academic says a turning | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
point in oil exploration. We have establishment of a shift, a turning | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
point that more or less made the new rules about how to regulate safety | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
on normal region -- of the Norwegian sector. Unions feel helicopter | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
operators want to hear about potential problems. As a whole, I | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
think the industry now has moved to the point where they want to hear | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
solutions. We come with new points of view that they may not have | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
themselves as we are sitting on the ground level, doing the everyday | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
work. UK regulators are moving towards the Norwegian model by | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
creating the Forum For Safety. But here the discussions are grounded in | :11:49. | :11:49. | |
law. Until now, the opposition parties | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
supporting a no vote in the independence referendum have offered | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
different views of how devolution The former Prime Minister, | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
Gordon Brown, has told this programme he's willing | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
to work with other parties to agree a joint offer on more powers for | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Holyrood before September's vote. All three parties have now agreed to | :12:10. | :12:24. | |
change and all three parties will put it in their manifesto that they | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
will implement of these proposals for change, if we can get agreement | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
earlier, let's do it. If possible, before the referendum. At the same | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
time, you must recognise that every party is now committed to these | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
changes. Glen Campbell joins me now. How significant is this? Gordon | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
Brown does not lead the better together campaign, but here the | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
public face of Labour's campaign for a no vote in the independence | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
referendum and in that capacity he is making overtures to the | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, indicating a willingness to work | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
with them, to reach an agreement on what powers could come to the | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
parliament if voters reject independence, indicating a | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
willingness to work with them to achieve that in advance of the | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
referendum itself. The Liberal Democrats welcome that, they say it | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
is in line with their thinking, the Conservatives are more cautious. | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
Sceptical, even, of working within that time scale. Those who favour | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
independence says nothing less than independence will do. I don't think | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
Scotland needs a lowest common demand later agreements, Scotland | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
needs the full range of powers that will allow us to grow our economy. | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
-- the nominator. That is what Scotland needs. | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
I still think it is unlikely that Labour, the Conservatives and the | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
Liberal Democrats can reach a concrete is compromise in advance of | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
a referendum, but they may way -- may work closer together to stress | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
the areas where there is overlap between rival sets for proposals of | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
further devolution. In the run up to | :14:15. | :14:15. | |
the independence referendum, we've been touring the UK's only current | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
border in Northern Ireland looking Our economics Correspondent is | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
at one of the crossings there. Yes this is the border. You might | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
not notice it driving over the bridge between Strabane in Northern | :14:26. | :14:41. | |
Ireland and Lifford in the Republic of Ireland. The only way you can | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
tell which side you're on is the speed limit signs, in miles per hour | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
or kilometres per hour. For many businesses, that's how they operate | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
too- having one headquarters and doing business across the border in | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
both countries. Like many companies in Northern | :14:59. | :15:18. | |
Ireland, this bakery is a family business. It is run by six brothers. | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
It was set up by their parents. They now employ hundreds of others and | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
their products are being eaten much further afield. Our business has | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
always continued to grow. We have a foot in three markets. That gives us | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
a great platform. Once the food is made and packed, it | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
is sent off to three markets. Northern Ireland, the Republic of | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
Ireland and the rest of the UK. Although Dublin is a crucial | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
market, it is not all was straightforward to do business in | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
another country. We have to invoice in euros. That brings with it some | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
risk in terms of currency fluctuation. | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
The city of Derry is the north-west tip of Northern Ireland and is right | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
on the border. It is undergoing a regeneration at the moment but | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
during the troubles, when there was a physical barrier between the two | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
countries, Derry really suffered economic league. It utterly | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
decimated trade in this city. That is all gone now. | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
What kinds of issues you need to think through when they are dealing | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
with companies the other side of the border? It is an administrative | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
frontier so you have different rates of VAT. It is a bit of a pain but it | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
is not a barrier to trade. It is not always a smooth process to | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
trade across the border. For many companies, it is not the case of the | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
grass is greener on the other side, they think the grass is greener on | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
both sides of the border. And it is not just small companies operating | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
on both sides of the border. Coca-Cola have one distillery plant | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
which operates across the island. More than ?2 billion worth of trade | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
crosses the border between the Republic and Northern Ireland. Trade | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
flows freely despite the difficulties for businesses to | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
overcome. Join me tomorrow when I will be looking at ideas about | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
living on one side of the border and working on the other. As the Englund | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
revenue: Those people, frontier workers. Sarah Smith is here to tell | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
us what is on Scotland 2014 tonight. We have the two big reigns of the | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
referendum campaign. The Deputy First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, and | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
the shadow of Foreign Secretary, will debate. | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
Around a dozen calls were received by police following a BBC Crimewatch | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
appeal to help locate murdered Edinburgh woman Suzanne Pilley. 50 | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
year old David Gilroy was convicted of killing the bookkeeper in 2012 | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
but her body was never found. Detectives say some of the | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
information came from people who'd never contacted them before. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
Labour is to try to run a minority administration on Dumfries and | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
Galloway Council following the collapse of their coalition with the | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
SNP. The Nationalists pulled out of the deal yesterday over policy | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
differences. It leaves Labour trying to run the authority with just 15 | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
councillors - nine short of a majority. | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
Thousands of science and technology exhibits and items from the world of | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
art and design will be brought out of storage and given new space in | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. The Victorian building | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
has become the most visited attraction outside London. Evidence | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
of four thousand year old settlements has been found by | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
archaeologists on the site of a new park and ride near Aberdeen Airport. | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
More excavation work will be done before the car park can be built. | :19:08. | :19:18. | |
To see the fires and halves that they sat around, that is fantastic. | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
Really exciting to be that close to our predecessors. | :19:28. | :19:28. | |
Shetland's new ?5.1 million visitor centre at Sumburgh Head has been | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
opened by the Princess Royal. The attraction is based in renovated | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
lighthouse buildings and Princess Anne was invited to lead the | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
ceremony because of her role as patron of the Northern Lighthouse | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
A garage owner has apologised for staging a scene that looked like a | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
murder in Edinburgh, which was caught on Google Street View. Dan | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
Thompson had to say sorry after receiving a visit from the police. | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
The mechanic had lain on the road while his colleague stood over him | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
with a pick axe handle after spotting the Google camera car. | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
However, a web user saw the image and made a complaint. | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
Motherwell's new general manager says his top priority is to keep | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
boss Stuart McCall at Fir Park. Alan Burrows, one of the youngest to fill | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
such a role in football, knows other clubs are monitoring McCall's | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
progress after guiding Motherwell into Europe | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
for the third year in a row. John Barnes reports. | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
At the age of 31, Alan Burrows this week formally stepped through the | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
door as Motherwell's general manager. His previous role as head | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
of media and indications won him numerous awards. But it is one of | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
the club's priced assets, namely manager, Stuart McCall, he is keen | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
to hold onto. In terms of pre-season preparation, and everything you | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
would expect a manager to do, I'm hopeful that Stuart McCall beer. | :21:03. | :21:11. | |
He has replaced the previous manager who left for him early on. Who has | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
the most difficult job? I have a difficult job. I have been at the | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
club for seven years. This is a promotion for me so there is added | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
responsibility. If there is anybody in Scottish the ball who is capable | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
of taking a billion through this stormy period, it is Leanne. | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
Another important job is leasing players. The captain has signed a | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
new two-year deal and that means a majority of experienced players are | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
back on the books for next season. It has been a deliberate policy of | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
hours to demonstrate we mean business. We're hopefully confident | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
of tying up more players. He hopes the players will deliver on | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
the pitch just as he has often the pitch. | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
Scotland international Kenny Miller will join Rangers this week - for a | :22:12. | :22:14. | |

Texas and the New Zealander will take charge for his first game | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
He is a man of few words. That demands respect. He has a probe on | :22:49. | :23:03. | |
track record over the past few years. He will definitely bring | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
something good and a lot of knowledge to the part. | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
Scotland's two professional cricket teams have been facing up today in | :23:10. | :23:12. | |

Denise Minor is well-known for her novels. -- Denise Mina. She wanted a | :24:22. | :24:30. | |
new challenge and looked no further than her family. I often go to the | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
cinema and see the same film over and over and I thought it would be | :24:39. | :24:49. | |
great to get my relatives to do it. Sometimes I think that if she picks | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
up a cup... With a small Budget she decided to | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
use a mobile phone to make the film with her cousins. There was no | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
shortage of material with so many family members available. | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
We grew up in a storytelling family. It was meant to be a pet project but | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
Denise showed it to the whole family at a special screening at the | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
Glasgow film Theatre. That reaction became part of the final film. But | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
family is notoriously have different versions of events. Everybody's | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
memories have changed. Everybody steals everybody else's stories. | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
The film will be premiered at a festival in Inverness. | :25:39. | :25:45. | |

bringing rain to the East course. The best of the sunshine will be in | :26:48. | :27:00. | |
the West. Not a bad day at all. Through the rest of the afternoon, | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
rain pushing into the East really starts to make inroads into the rest | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
of the country. As we head into Thursday, not much improves. That | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
weather front just weaving its way slowly northwards. The focused for | :27:18. | :27:27. | |
the heaviest rain will change. Still, a lot of cloud and a damp | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
