23/06/2014 Reporting Scotland

An Aberdeen man is one of those who appears in a video released

The BBC can exclusively reveal that he was brought up in the city and

People who knew him say they're shocked.

And we will have an exclusive report and hear from the BBC's security

correspondence. Also on the programme,

we have the latest from Wimbledon as Andy Murray makes a convincing

start to the defence of his title. New hope for people coping with

chronic pain as plans for a national 185 plays in a day - the ambitious

project being staged by What do you say? We have nothing

in, next macro. 185 plays in a day - the ambitious

project being staged by And I am awaiting the Queen's baton

as it spent its day in North Lanarkshire. It is a lovely day here

in Strathclyde Park. Join me for a full weather forecast before the end

of the programme. BBC Scotland has learned that a

third British man in a recruitment video for the Islamic militant

group, Isis, is from Aberdeen. The man has been named locally

as Raqib. Tonight, there's shock

in the city that someone who grew up on its streets could be pictured

with a gun, urging others to fight. Steven Duff joins us now

from Aberdeen. Yes, the man Raqib, in his mid-20s,

is a third-generation British jihadist. He grew up in this area of

Aberdeen, and his family came from here. Someone who knew him say they

were shocked to find him in this billionaire declaring ins the

jihadist. Forget everyone. Read the Koran, the destruction of life, and

you will find out what a Jihad is. A recruitment video for the terrorist

group ISIS, in an undisclosed location. This is the man named

today as Raqib from Aberdeen. He is surrounded by other British

jihadist. Allah does not need you to fight for him. You need to fight.

Raqib moved to Aberdeen from Bangladesh as a child, and attended

school in the city. In recent years, he and some of his family are

believed to have moved to Leicester. Someone who knew Raqib while he

lived in Aberdeen says the video has shocked the community. He came here

when he was a younger child. He went to primary and secondary school

here. After that, he was around in Aberdeen. He was a bit aggressive,

perhaps something to prove. He ended up in a lots of fights. To learn he

has accepted religion in such an extreme way is quite shocking,

because he is a youth from Aberdeen new has ended up somewhere like

that. The end of afternoon prayers at one of two mosques in Aberdeen

today. The city has a growing Muslim population. Raqib is said to have

been an infrequent visitor. We as Muslim community in the city of

Aberdeen are shocked like everybody else, and we are cooperating with

the authority as we usually do. It is estimated that around 500 Britons

are fighting in the conflict in Syria, among the jihadists, two men

from Cardiff, in the same video as Raqib, pictured here in his

terrifying new role. The word shark is used a lot. So

what are people saying to you tonight? Well, it will be shocking

for the very close-knit Muslim and Bangladesh communities in Aberdeen,

but also the wider community. This is someone who went to a primary

school and secondary school in the city. He was known as a bit of a

troublemaker in his late teenage years, but the person we spoke to

who knew him said before he moved away to England in recent years, he

became a softer, more subtle, humble person, apparently accenting his

faith, but there will be genuine shocked that someone from Aberdeen,

who grew up in Aberdeen, has ended up somewhere in the Middle East in

this video, asking other people to join him in the war in the Middle

East. Thank you very much. Well, before we came on air,

I spoke to the BBC's Security He told me that the individual

fitted the picture of a susceptible It is a depressingly familiar

story, I'm afraid. Very often, young Britons who go out to fight jihad

have got into trouble in the past with the law, with their parents,

with school. They have been quite rebellious, often involving petty

crimes, some of them have got police records. And they see this as a way

of cleansing, purging, turning over a new leaf, and they tend to swing

very much the other way, thinking they are absolving their previous

misdemeanours by going to fight jihad in what they see as a

righteous cause. Of course, where these people come from, there is no

relation to where they end up, but people across Aberdeen and Scotland

and I will be wondering, how big a danger does this pose? The violence

that we are seeing going on, conducted by ISIS and the people

fighting it over in the Middle East, is anathema to most Muslims.

They share nothing in common with it, and the Muslim community all

around Britain are waking up in horror as seeing these videos, and

Paul in most cases that their young man sneaking off, often without

telling their parents, and going off to fight in a war where many of them

don't come back, some of them do come back radicalised, some of them

come back probably pretty traumatised, but in many cases, they

are not even actually getting to fight Assad's forces, and this is

what imams and Muslim community leaders are saying. They are begging

people not to go out there. They are saying, you are not helping the

people of Syria by doing this. So, it is a phenomenon. The numbers are

getting bigger. They are still relatively small. It is estimated

500 Britons including those from Scotland and Wales have gone out

there to join extremist groups in Syria. Why is there a worry about

this? Is there a worry about this? Isn't on one hand, the government is

saying, we should support the rebels fighting Assad, and that is exactly

what they are doing. The reason they worry about it is because the group

that many are going to join, ISIS, the same people taking over in

Iraq, so bloodthirsty, so extreme and so brutal that even Al-Qaeda has

disowned them. They have been chopping off had left, right and

centre in Syria. They have crucified people alive, done amputations, and

on executions in cold blood on a massive scale, and the fear is that

people who hang around people like that are going to come back here and

wants to carry out some pretty unpleasant practices in this

country. And is it this extremism then that is causing such concern to

the UK Government and security services? It is causing a lot of

concern, because apart from anything else, Syria is a really easy jihad

for people to get to. They make contact online through internet

forums, in some cases being radicalised online. It is a very

compelling message, instead of sitting around, going to be given up

shop on Friday night, why do you not do something for your people, come

and fight. It is a very glamorous, charismatic message, which frankly

isn't really being challenged very effectively by anybody. So they

hopped on a cheap flights down to a neighbouring country, get a bus to

the border, walk across, and suddenly, you are in the middle of a

whole jihad, and the next thing, you pop up in a video with a Kalashnikov

and a black flag behind you, or you are dead. Frank Gardner, thank you.

When you can see more on that tonight in Scotland 2014.

We will have the latest from Aberdeen, and we will discuss how

much address home-grown jihad ease pose to Scotland, as well as looking

a wider foreign policy. How would pose to Scotland, as well as looking

a wider foreign policy. this be given tin an independent Scotland,

and how much cloud would we wield? Andy Murray has made a convincing

started his defence of his title. Today, he received a sending

ovation. We're having a lovely time! The wine

and drink was flowing at the All-England Club. Spirits were high

and Henman Hill. Even if glasses were low. They had all come to see

the return of the champion, and were in confident mood. Come on, Andy! He

is a great competitor, and I would hope that he can come through

unscathed again. I think you will manage to win today, he will come

through. And as he warmed up for his big curtain call, support from a man

who has also walked back out onto the big stage. It is a good time to

start winning a title, in 2014, winning Wimbledon. It is possible.

He has won two grand slams, the Olympics, and won Wimbledon, so he

has won so much already. He doesn't have the pressure any more. There

was some pressure, walking out as Britain's first men's defending

champion since 1936, but he took it all in his stride. The same goes for

the first set, as he whizzed through 6-1, is too strong for his Belgian

opponent. His opponent but at some resistance in the second set, and

Murray had to up his game to Take That 6-4. And then in the decider,

the momentum swung first towards the Belgian, before the Scot strongly

reasserted himself as he finally broke the serve. He saw out the

match in style in just over two hours. I thought it was a very high

standard match. He was maybe a little bit nervous at the beginning,

but when the second and third sets came round, the level was very high

and we played some great rallies. I am glad to finish it in three,

because he was playing really well. A straight sets win is exactly what

Andy Murray would have scripted himself for this historic day, 78

years after Fred Perry's Wimbledon defence of his title, Murray got off

to a flying start and will expect to continue in a similar vein on

Wednesday. And more from our reporter later in

the programme. It's estimated that around 15% of

the Scottish population are affected Today, we learn that a new hospital

to treat it will be based guard navel. Our Reporter has more.

During the birth of her child, Susan Archibald was given an epidural, but

it went wrong, causing nerve damage. He's now in constant pain. I explain

like, if you are being burned with a cattle or something like that. If

water or the wind or nothing goes near it, it is there all the time,

but it is a lot worse now. -- a cattle. At one point, Susan even

contemplated suicide, but instead decided to fight or better services

for hundreds of thousands of people like her in chronic pain. Susan

Archibald. Last year she gave evidence to the Scottish

Parliament's health committee. I didn't realise exactly how emotional

I would feel today. I think it is... It is taking me back to a

place that I may be forgot about, actually. But for more than a

decade, the Scottish Parliament has been dithering, saying something

must be done about chronic pain, while services have got worse. But

now, it seems there will be a change for the better. A new centre for

treating chronic pain is to be set up here at Glasgow's Gartnavel

hospital. It won't be able to always provide a cure, but it will help

people with their conditions. Susan received a personal call from the

health minister this morning. She said it was a surprise, but not

entirely unexpected. I am quite a determined individual, and I just

keep slogging away behind the scenes, talking to whoever I can

talk to. And she is still fighting, for better care locally as well.

The National Theatre of Scotland has opened its most

The "Great Yes No Don't Know Five Minute Theatre Show"

kicked off at five o'clock today and will stage 185 different plays -

all on the subject of independence - over the next 24 hours.

Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports.

Hey, girls! What are you talking about? The referendum. From talking

sheep to historical drama, just some ways these writers have approached

the subject of Independence. All of them are five minutes long and can

be performed anywhere. I need more than that. We have one that is being

performed on a beach in Prestwick, one at the end of the pier in St

Andrews, and others that are being performed on a bridge, in a green

room, in a school, in somebody's house, in a park.

Playwright David Gray, along with reducer David MacLennan came up with

the idea of a political variety show. One was already a committed

Yes, the other committed to No, but the majority of submissions would do

not know. You're feeling watching is the country in a giant state of

"don't know", but a creative don't know. Agonise, but they don't know

of thoughtfulness, of thinking. Victoria's play will kick off the

24-hour marathon. It is a personal project for her. Any time you meet

someone, the minute they find out you are Scottish, that is what they

want to talk about. Our nation's mind is focused on the future at the

moment stop and also for me, I am an expectant parent, and there's any

expectant parent will tell you, the future is a big part of what you are

thinking, and it's seemed like a nice fit. A personal project for

everyone involved. The cocreator, David MacLennan, died just ten days

ago. This, it turns out, was his final play.

Grameen is the biggest international financial institution you've

probably never heard of, and now it's up and running in Scotland.

The intention behind it, to transform lives by lending tiny

amounts of cash to people normal banks aren't interested in because

This hairdresser in the East End of Glasgow is one of the first

borrowers from Grameen in the UK. It is simple, it is easy to go about,

and so I thought, if it is something that easy, why not? The interest is

so minimal. Compare to the bank or any other lending body. The

organisation was set to transform communities by transforming the

lives of people normal banks and interested in. A lot of people do

favours for friends and do unpaid work for people, and I realise that

work has a value. So to turn it from just doing favours and to people, we

are turning it into a business. Grameen was founded in Bangladesh

nearly 40 years ago by turning banking rules upside down. They go

to the rich, I go to the poor. They do it in the city centre, we go to

remote villages. They concentrate on men, we women. They concentrate on

collateral, we said forget about collateral. We are the only lawyer

free bank and the whole world. Back in Parkhead, this is one small

business needing grow. It doesn't matter how you start the business,

it is the spirit with which you do it. If you get ?1000 from Grameen

and use it wisely and by what people want, and your products are not too

expensive, you will get people to buy, and they can build a business

that is very big. The first step leads to 1000 mile journey.

Grameen hopes to expand into the rest of Scotland and the rest of the

UK in future years. Now a look at what else has been

happening across the country today. Two elderly women who died

when a car smashed into a tree They were sitting in the back

of a car which crashed yesterday afternoon on the Colpy to

Oldmeldrum Road near Tocher. The two people in the front -

a husband and wife - The RNLI is reminding

the public over the dangers A swimmer was airlifted to hospital

in Orkney yesterday after getting into difficulties

off the island of Egilsay. Kirkwall lifeboat and the

Shetland-based rescue helicopter An historic Edinburgh landmark is

set for a wider audience as Parliament Hall becomes

a venue for this year's Fringe. Home of the pre-Union

Scottish Parliament and Scotland's Supreme Courts,

a ?60 million upgrade of Parliament An exhibition showcasing

the renovation was launched today This year's Royal Highland Show

welcomed almost 180,000 people That's an increase

of more than 8,000 on last year. The event, which ended on Sunday,

showcases Scottish farming, food and rural life over four days at

Edinburgh's Ingleston showground. Dozens of brightly painted

life-sized dolphins have gone on on The 50 fibreglass mammals are being

positioned across Each is painted with

a different theme. This one, historic fighter planes,

will live at Aberdeen airport. In fact, several have been designed for

the places where they will live, but there is a rich array of designs and

colours here which means every one of these dolphins unique.

Crowd had gathered to greet the Queen's Baton Relay. All the bearers

of the bat and have been invited, and any minute, we're expecting it

to be brought by the last bearer of the day, I poked onto the stage

here. It has been a brilliant day, and the battle has been warmly

welcomed throughout North Lanarkshire. -- the bat on. There

were plenty of hands on the bat on. There were plenty of hands on the in

Wishaw, they get behind a great honour, they have come to our

school. The fact we know someone who is actually carrying it is a really

great opportunity for our local community. Eight-year-old Oscar

brought his own. I got some pipe, and I got a lid off a Chinese box,

and wrapped it around. Then I got chicken wire and put it in there.

Plenty of people lined the streets of the bat on travel to North

Lanarkshire. A dedicated team of police officers or accompanying the

bat on, among them, a familiar face, two-time Commonwealth medallist Tom

Keane. It has been a fantastic experience. I cannot stop smiling.

Even my wife and children say it, I am still that happy. A second

journey on a tram, before the bat on a rise in Strathclyde Park stop

here, a chance to try out a triathlon of sorts before the real

Games begin. The triathlon will take lace in Strathclyde Park, the day

after the opening ceremony. Today has been a wonderful day for the

Queen's baton, and we will have to hope for the same during the Games,

but the person who knows about that is Judith, who will have it for

Fulwell forecast later. And now, the sport.

It really was the most straightforward

The defending Wimbledon Champion beat the Belgian David Goffin

Well, Kheredine Idessane was on centre court watching for us.

It all looked to go exactly to plan, Kheredine?

It did indeed. It was very much a case of job done, and first hurdle

Satan and negotiated. Andy Murray admits he was a bag of nerves as he

walked out on centre court at 1pm this afternoon, the first British

male defending champion and 78 years. But he was all smiles just

after two hours later, after a straightforward, straight sets win

over his Belgian opponent, 6-1, 6-4, 7-5. Good stuff from Andy Murray

today, and afterwards, I got the thought of someone who is very well

acquainted with the pressure of playing at Wimbledon. I thought it

was a fantastic start to the tournament, because you can imagine

them is very well acquainted with the pressure of playing at

Wimbledon. I thought it was a fantastic start to the tournament,

because you can imagine a must of Championship, but he gained through

it with flying colours. What you think is possible for him? Is he in

the care and shape that we can think he is a real serious contender? It

has been a very difficult, mixed year for Andy. He has really taken

quite a time to get going after his back surgery, and then I think we

really started to see what he was capable of once again, and I think

we saw the form that won him the championship last year when he

played through to the semifinals of the French Open, but the defeat that

he suffered at the hands of Rafael Nadal was one of the heaviest

defeats we have seen of them in a grand slam championship, so I think

everyone was wondering how he would respond to that defeat. He lost

earlier queens, but of course, he has quite a good draw here at

Wimbledon, and I think he's going to build his level as the Championship

progresses. We are thinking he is probably going to be a safe bet for

the second week, for the last 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, that sort

of thing. I think Andy will get tougher and tougher as the

Championship goes on, anything his level will build. Everyone is

looking at a potential semifinal with Novak Djokovic. We don't want

to get too excited on the first day of the championship, but that is

what everyone is looking forward to at the moment. If you compare his

daughter Rafael Nadal's, Nadal has absolute nightmare draw. Andy Murray

said he played well today. He wants to maintain that, and another

straight sets win would do nicely, thank you very much.

Back to you. Thank you. Celtic are in discussions with KR

Reykjavik over the possibility of swapping the legs of the UEFA

Champions League second qualifying round tie. Celtic, who'll play

their home leg at Murrayfield, want play the first leg in Iceland.

Motherwell could also travel to Iceland in the Europa League.

Aberdeen are up against Latvian opponents while St Johnstone head

for Switzerland. John Barnes After finding out who they will

face, Celtic could not hang about getting their manager to promote the

tide. But what do we know of Celtic's opponents? Recce of it are

the oldest and most successful Icelandic club, having won the

championship 26 times. Their crown has a capacity of just under 2800.

Notably, the club has never got past this stage of the Champions League.

So it looks promising for Celtic. It could, of course, be worse, and a

good the better, but I think it is an OK draw. Recce of it is a good

team, Icelandic football has improved over the last few years, so

we have to treat them with respect, but of course, we are favourites,

and we will do everything to win that game. In the Europa League,

Aberdeen face the Latvian club Riga in the first round, and if they win,

they will take on chronic, a Dutch team, in the second row. Motherwell

will play an Icelandic side or Bangor City from Wales, whereas the

Swiss side lucerne take on Scottish cup winners St Johnstone.

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

Bradley Neal has won the championship at Portrush. He now has

the chance to go to the US open. There was a final round of 66, with

six birdies and an eagle for former open champion Katrina Matthew. This

meant a top ten finish at the US women's open. Obviously delighted,

66, a great score. You know, I just am I played well every day, but I

got a few lucky breaks today. I believe you fortunate bounce is that

perhaps ran up to the ball little bit today. It looks unlikely that

the Commonwealth Games fans will be getting their hands on Usain Bolt in

Glasgow. Reports from Jamaica say he has not entered the championships

for selection, and he is injured. Catch up on those stories and so

much more 24-hour is a day on the BBC sport Scotland website.

Judith's never one to miss on a celebration,

so no surprise she's in Strathclyde Park in North Lanarkshire

As far as the bat and relay has been concern, we have been very lucky,

and our luck is staying. We're looking at dry weather, across most

of the country, if showers in the East. Across the North, clear spells

over Shetland and Orkney, temperatures fine, quite low, around

six Celsius, but further south, mild, and we'll see more in the way

of cloud. A fairly cloudy start initially tomorrow for most parts,

although from first light, lovely sunshine across the far north,

Shetland and Orkney, but that cloud gradually thins and breaks as we

head towards the afternoon. Come the afternoon, some bright and sunny

spells for Lothian and Borders, temperatures 18 or possibly 19

degrees, cloud possibly lingering a bit but lifting, the odd shower in

the Southern uplands. Any showers tomorrow will be overly higher

ground. In the north-west, the Western Isles farewell, and of

course, the Northern Isles as well. Those conditions are similar for the

likes of Grampian, Murray, and with the Angus area as well. Temperature

is widely to 17 Celsius. As we had through to the evening time, it

stays predominantly dry, so clear spells in the North. It could be

quite take cold night. If we look at the pressure chart, we see out

towards the Atlantic, there is low pressure trying to make inroads

across Scotland, but thankfully, an area of high pressure to the North

stars two building and actually bothered to those weather fronts

trying to have our way. So for Wednesday morning, we start of dry

and bright, some sunny spells, especially across eastern Scotland.

We see cloud thickening up in West, and some rain pushing into the inner

Hebrides, Argyll, and down towards the south-west corner. That

eventually dies away, and ever it is up to around 17, 18 or 19 Celsius.

On Thursday, a lot of dry, bright weather in the forecast. It looks

fairly present and average is not too bad. That is your forecast.

Thank you very much. Thanks. Now,

a reminder of tonight's main news. The US Secretary of State John Kerry

has called on Iraq's leaders to come
