of more flooding in Tayside, Angus and South Aberdeenshire has

on already sodden ground. Our reporter John McManus

is in Ballater on Deeside. The water has gone, the electricity

:01:28.:01:44.

is back on and many businesses in Ballater are open for business again

but some are not and many people who were flooded out of their homes last

:01:52.:01:56.

Ballater, one week ago, submerged by the River Dee, now the river water

:01:57.:02:02.

has gone and the town is getting back on its feet, but the evidence

:02:03.:02:06.

of the power of Storm Frank is everywhere. Scores of caravans at

:02:07.:02:12.

this holiday Park were destroyed. Today, the owners were back picking

:02:13.:02:17.

through the debris. For those still standing not much can be done. What

:02:18.:02:23.

about all of your furnishings, your sofa and table and chairs? It is all

:02:24.:02:30.

ruined. We have the loss adjuster here yesterday and he took one look

:02:31.:02:35.

and said sorry. Nearby work to get the fire station operational, though

:02:36.:02:40.

they still played a major part in the rescue effort. But its tourism

:02:41.:02:45.

this town relies on for its lifeblood and business owners want

:02:46.:02:47.

to see Aberdeenshire Council dig deep to help them. The future in the

:02:48.:02:54.

short term is pretty grim but I'm sure Ballater will come back again.

:02:55.:03:00.

We do need funding from the agencies to get the place back, because we

:03:01.:03:04.

are so dependent on tourists. As you heard a few minutes ago we got a

:03:05.:03:10.

booking from a holiday-maker for Hogmanay next year, so it is

:03:11.:03:13.

positive. Away from the towns farmers are also assessing the

:03:14.:03:17.

damage. David Wynter lost some of his livestock. As you can see around

:03:18.:03:24.

us the devastation, that has caused the fences to be taken away, we lost

:03:25.:03:30.

livestock, we have most of the sheep on the high ground who were OK. Most

:03:31.:03:39.

of them were inside for the winter. The sheep was a big problem. It will

:03:40.:03:47.

take some time to make good damage to this road. Is a start was made on

:03:48.:03:50.

a temporary road service Delhi surface today. This bridge will be

:03:51.:03:57.

open again in a fortnight. But there is no quick fix for historic

Abergeldie castle. Its owner is desperately trying to shore it up.

:04:01.:04:05.

The water is calmer now but its future is uncertain.

:04:06.:04:10.

There is some good news for Ballater this evening, Aberdeenshire Council

:04:11.:04:15.

says it is considering whether to temporarily drop council and some

:04:16.:04:18.

business rates to help people here get back on their feet. But of

:04:19.:04:23.

course, or eyes are on the Amber rain warning for tomorrow, which

:04:24.:04:28.

will affect South Aberdeenshire, Angus and Murray. Newton Stewart was

:04:29.:04:32.

another place affected by the flooding last week. My colleague

:04:33.:04:35.

Willie Johnston went back there to assess what is happening on the

:04:36.:04:36.

ground. You can from just about see the mark

get on, I can't let it beat me. The Riverside business premises and

homes and much of the main Riverside business premises and

:05:01.:05:04.

street. One week on and some folk are a pack up and running and many

:05:05.:05:08.

more are not. I'm really suffering financially, obviously not trading.

:05:09.:05:13.

I have got staff relying on me for wages. The best I can do is just get

:05:14.:05:21.

on. Along the street they are ripping out the ruined floorboards

:05:22.:05:24.

from the Riverside Day Centre, a social hub for hundreds of

:05:25.:05:27.

pensioners from Newton Stewart and all of the surrounding the latest.

:05:28.:05:31.

They have a meal here but they socialise and meet old school

:05:32.:05:34.

friends and make new friends here. It's a very important part, the day

centre. The impact on them will be loneliness.

:05:41.:05:43.

This whole building has been submerged in about two and a half,

:05:44.:05:48.

three feet of water, and everything is submerged and is ruined. Chris

:06:37.:06:40.

turning to what kind of flood defences may be required for the

:06:41.:06:43.

future here. Rebuilding the Riverside wall which collapsed and

:06:44.:06:48.

caused the current devastation is one thing. Rebuilding a community's

:06:49.:06:52.

confidence is something else again. Willie Johnston, Reporting Scotland,

:06:53.:06:53.

Newton Stewart. The giant boulder that led

:06:54.:06:55.

to the closure of the A83, the main route to Argyll,

:06:56.:06:57.

went out with a bang today - It was feared the rock could fall

:06:58.:07:00.

onto the road at the Rest and Be Thankful - but even though

:07:01.:07:07.

it's been broken up the route It's been a very long and difficult

:07:08.:07:19.

day for people here. The explosion was scheduled for ten o'clock this

:07:20.:07:22.

morning and then it was put off until early afternoon and then we

:07:23.:07:27.

were told it would not happen at all because visibility was so poor, then

:07:28.:07:30.

it was happening, and so finally around 4:30pm with a flash of light

:07:31.:07:35.

and a crack and a boom it happened. Yet we had time yesterday to assess

:07:36.:07:40.

it and the drilling continued today. We got the explosives ready but the

:07:41.:07:48.

visibility, we experienced low-lying cloud, and the visibility wasn't

:07:49.:07:53.

near to have the blast any earlier than we did. We've been here for the

:07:54.:07:57.

last couple of days and what we have heard is the sound of constant

:07:58.:08:01.

drilling. The geotechnical engineers who have been making small holes

:08:02.:08:04.

every half a metre along the bolder, and it's been bolder, four metres by

:08:05.:08:09.

four metres. They then covered it in netting so that any larger bits of

:08:10.:08:13.

debris would not go down the hillside. They then inserted a small

:08:14.:08:20.

explicit device and detonated it. Those running the operation are

:08:21.:08:25.

hoping to get the A83 running as soon as possible but they need to

:08:26.:08:29.

make it safe first. The old military road is still being used, but they

:08:30.:08:33.

are stressing they will try and open the Rest And Be Thankful as soon as

:08:34.:08:36.

possible. Suzanne Allan.

Still to come on tonight's reporting Scotland:

who are reviving Govan's proud tradition of bagpiping.

:08:41.:08:46.

Why the Dundee United chairman says the club should have been put

:08:47.:08:52.

And two defeats in a day down under for Andy Murray.

:08:53.:09:04.

US presidential hopeful Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw

:09:05.:09:06.

?700 million of planned business

:09:07.:09:08.

investment in Scotland over calls to ban him from entering the UK.

:09:09.:09:13.

Our reporter Andrew Black joins me - Andrew remind us of what sparked

:09:14.:09:16.

as everyone knows Donald Trump wants to be the next Republican President

:09:17.:09:27.

of the US. But during campaigning he called for Muslims to be banned from

:09:28.:09:32.

entering the US, citing terrorism concerns which has led to a huge

:09:33.:09:38.

backlash, especially in the UK and in Scotland in particular. He has

:09:39.:09:42.

been stripped of his honorary degree from Aberdeen's Robert Gordon

:09:43.:09:45.

University and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has dropped him as a

:09:46.:09:49.

Scottish business ambassador. Later this month MPs are going to be

:09:50.:09:53.

debating whether or not to ban Donald Trump himself from entering

:09:54.:09:57.

the UK in response to a public petition which has been backed by

:09:58.:10:02.

more than 500,000 people. Donald Trump, surprise, surprise, is not

:10:03.:10:05.

happy about that, and today threatened to withdraw plans for

:10:06.:10:09.

what he said was ?700 million of investment

:10:10.:10:13.

what he said was ?700 million of South Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire.

:10:14.:10:16.

If, as he puts it, there is any action to restrict travel. Is there

:10:17.:10:20.

any chance Donald Trump will be banned from coming to the UK?

:10:21.:10:24.

Absolutely not, but it does show you the strength of feeling involved

:10:25.:10:28.

when dealing with issues like terrorism, when he wishes to become

:10:29.:10:32.

the next US President. Thank you.

:10:33.:10:34.

In a short time the internet has become a necessity for businesses

:10:35.:10:37.

but a number of firms on Skye have been forced to go back

:10:38.:10:40.

to using the post because their internet service is so poor.

:10:41.:10:43.

Suppliers BT say they're working to improve broadband speeds -

:10:44.:10:45.

but a campaign group on the island is now almost 1,000 strong.

:10:46.:10:48.

For many of us a reliable Internet connection is as much a part of life

:10:49.:11:01.

as a lecture city and running water. In remote rural areas like Skye

:11:02.:11:05.

broadband communications have made a real difference, allowing businesses

:11:06.:11:09.

to flourish. And it's a service that many have come to rely on. But

:11:10.:11:13.

growing dissatisfaction with broadband speeds generally has

:11:14.:11:16.

deepened over the past few weeks with a series of total breakdowns in

:11:17.:11:20.

the service is prompting some users to resort to snail mail. It's

:11:21.:11:28.

imperative I get information to the client quickly and efficiently via

:11:29.:11:31.

the Internet but I had to resort to putting them onto disk and sending

:11:32.:11:34.

them through normal Royal Mail, which takes a couple of days, but it

:11:35.:11:38.

is invariably faster than trying to do it by broadband. But campaigners

:11:39.:11:43.

also claimed there is a wider problem in North Skye. While

:11:44.:11:45.

customers in most areas of the country and even other parts of Skye

:11:46.:11:49.

are being offered fast fibre broadband, they are being left with

:11:50.:11:52.

a second-class service. There isn't another industry in the

:11:53.:11:57.

world where it is the same cost to everybody but what you actually get

:11:58.:12:01.

us completely different. It's like paying for a Rolls-Royce and

:12:02.:12:08.

discovering you get a, that is just wrong. In a statement BT access that

:12:09.:12:14.

rainwater caused a recurring equipment fault at a relay station

:12:15.:12:19.

on Skye, and the company says engineers are planning to upgrade

:12:20.:12:22.

one of the main broadband routes between the north of the island and

:12:23.:12:26.

the mainland. Campaigners say any improvement cannot come 8 megabits

:12:27.:12:30.

to soon. Craig Anderson, Reporting Scotland.

:12:31.:12:34.

More details have been revealed of the Government's plans

:12:35.:12:36.

From next year, pupils across Scotland will sit the tests

:12:37.:12:39.

The idea's controversial - unions were worried the raw test

:12:40.:12:43.

But the Government say they won't publish that data.

:12:44.:12:48.

Those assessments will firstly give teachers and objective way of,

:12:49.:12:59.

amongst other things, making judgments about how a child is

:13:00.:13:02.

progressing against the required levels of the curriculum. And what

:13:03.:13:07.

we will publish from 2017 onwards are the percentage of children

:13:08.:13:12.

across the country who are meeting those required levels of the

:13:13.:13:16.

curriculum, and that will be broken down by local authority and by

:13:17.:13:17.

schools. Our education correspondent

:13:18.:13:18.

Jamie McIvor's is here. Jamie, what does the Government say

:13:19.:13:21.

is the aim these tests? It is to try to get better

:13:22.:13:27.

information to help show what schemes to raise attainment in

:13:28.:13:32.

schools are working. One of the policy aims of the Government is to

:13:33.:13:35.

close the gap between how well children from politically rich and

:13:36.:13:39.

poor backgrounds do at school, and it thinks better data might help. To

:13:40.:13:43.

remind you of the details of the proposed tests, children would go

:13:44.:13:46.

through the tests three times at primary school then again in the

:13:47.:13:51.

third year of secondary school, and in primary schools the tests might

:13:52.:13:54.

not actually be so radically different to the tests they replace,

:13:55.:14:02.

they vary from council area to council area but in secondary

:14:03.:14:05.

schools anecdotally at least there is concern among teachers.

:14:06.:14:09.

So why won't they be published? The unions were worried about

:14:10.:14:12.

publishing the raw data, they were not just worried about unofficial

:14:13.:14:15.

league tables, but the risk that the raw data being so readily available

:14:16.:14:19.

would lead to teachers simply putting their effort into teaching

:14:20.:14:24.

children to pass the test, undermining the changes in schools

:14:25.:14:27.

in receipt years that were designed to give teachers much more freedom.

:14:28.:14:31.

That is not such a concern with simply publishing the figures and

:14:32.:14:36.

how many students are at the expected standards in literacy and

:14:37.:14:41.

numeracy. We are pleased the First Minister confirm that teachers'

:14:42.:14:44.

professional judgment will be the yardstick used to measure young

:14:45.:14:48.

people's progress. The concern was that standardised assessments might

:14:49.:14:51.

replace teachers' professional judgment and that would have been a

:14:52.:14:55.

narrowing of the experience so that is welcome, the focus on teachers'

:14:56.:15:02.

judgment. There are still worries about the details of the tests and

:15:03.:15:06.

whether they will help children and teachers, or will they become some

:15:07.:15:10.

kind of bureaucratic burden. The idea of any serious confrontation

:15:11.:15:13.

between the teaching profession and the Government over the very risk of

:15:14.:15:17.

having them, over the very principle here, I think that risk has receded.

:15:18.:15:19.

Janey, thank you. Former Scottish First Minister Alex

Salmond is to host a live weekly radio phone-in show

:15:26.:15:27.

will be off limits" as listeners call, text, tweet or email

the SNP MP directly. A look at other stories

:15:33.:15:38.

from across the country. An Aberdeen man who admitted putting

:15:39.:15:43.

offensive messages on social media, including one about a disabled young

:15:44.:15:47.

Celtic fan, has been banned 20-year-old Ross Gibson was charged

:15:48.:15:50.

following a match between Celtic Gibson previously admitted

:15:51.:15:56.

causing fear or alarm. He was also ordered to carry out 200

:15:57.:16:01.

hours of unpaid work. Detectives are appealing

:16:02.:16:06.

for help tracing vandals who have desecrated

:16:07.:16:09.

graves in a Fife cemetery. 60 headstones were pushed down

:16:10.:16:15.

at Bennochy Cemetery in Kirkcaldy It's extremely distressing,

:16:16.:16:23.

particularly at this time of year, Christmas and New Year, when people

:16:24.:16:28.

come to visit their loved ones and finding damage like this is

:16:29.:16:29.

extremely upsetting. Members of the University

:16:30.:16:33.

and College Union at the University of Aberdeen have

:16:34.:16:34.

voted in favour of strike action. The ballot was called over fears

:16:35.:16:37.

of forthcoming redundancies. The union said 74% of those

:16:38.:16:40.

who voted backed strike action. The university said

:16:41.:16:42.

it was disappointed, and aimed to continue talks

:16:43.:16:44.

with union officials. The recent storms have blown

:16:45.:16:50.

dozens of Arctic birds It's very unusual to see auks

:16:51.:16:53.

in this part of the world, but high winds have

:16:54.:16:57.

blown them off course. Many have been found weak

:16:58.:17:00.

and thin and are being cared Obviously we are picking up and

:17:01.:17:10.

getting what we can and volunteers have been kind in picking them up on

:17:11.:17:14.

our behalf. The fact of the matter is this is only a fraction of the

:17:15.:17:19.

birds and if we get one in 50 or one in a hundred we are doing well.

:17:20.:17:26.

Sport now and not a great start to the year for Andy Murray.

:17:27.:17:31.

Andy Murray has tasted defeat down under as he continues his

:17:32.:17:33.

He lost twice this afternoon in the Hopman Cup, as he and British

:17:34.:17:36.

partner Heather Watson went down to the hosts,

:17:37.:17:38.

Murray was up against their number one player, Nick Kyrgios.

:17:39.:17:42.

Kheredine Idessane watched the action.

:17:43.:17:45.

The colourful curtain raiser to the New Year. The Hopman Cup is a useful

:17:46.:17:55.

way to untangle preseason knots was up against one of the top talent in

:17:56.:17:59.

Nick Kyrgios, Andy Murray had a solid enough start. But as his coach

:18:00.:18:06.

salutes all, the Canberra kid was playing well and forced an early

:18:07.:18:10.

break of the Andy Murray serve. It was an advantage that the big

:18:11.:18:14.

serving of the would not relinquish, securing the first set in style. How

:18:15.:18:20.

would Andy Murray react as much badly. He lost five points on the

:18:21.:18:24.

road to be broken again at the start of the second set. The world number

:18:25.:18:28.

two hit back straightaway to prevent someone consolidating, much to his

:18:29.:18:34.

annoyance. Some vintage Andy Murray after that. Even Nick Kyrgios seemed

:18:35.:18:42.

to enjoy this. As he did the second set tie-break, securing his first

:18:43.:18:46.

ever win against Andy Murray who needed his team-mate to keep great

:18:47.:18:52.

Britain in the tie. After an epic encounter with Daria Gavrilova, a

:18:53.:19:00.

trademark Heather Watson smile meant mission accomplished. That meant

:19:01.:19:04.

Andy Murray and Heather Watson could still win the tie but would have to

:19:05.:19:09.

beat Nick Kyrgios and Daria Gavrilova in mixed doubles. The

:19:10.:19:12.

first set went to the home team while the second went to a tie-break

:19:13.:19:17.

in which Murray and Watson came up on top. The outcome was decided by

:19:18.:19:21.

attention match tie-break which the home team eventually snatched 11-9.

:19:22.:19:27.

A couple of defeats in a day for Andy Murray. More to come against

:19:28.:19:30.

Germany on Friday. Dundee United's chairman

:19:31.:19:32.

Stephen Thompson has told the BBC the club should've been put

:19:33.:19:34.

into administration when his family He's also warning they won't prop

:19:35.:19:36.

the club up financially in the event But he says there will be money

:19:37.:19:41.

to spend this month as United Anguish is an ever more familiar

:19:42.:19:56.

feeling for Dundee United supporters. The spectre of

:19:57.:20:00.

relegation means they may have to brace themselves for even worse. But

:20:01.:20:03.

the chairman says he and his family cannot do more. The family cannot

:20:04.:20:09.

fund the club long term, no chance. It is impossible to do that.

:20:10.:20:16.

season. We will not have up until it is impossible to stay in the league.

We will bring in players and hopefully the right one. The players

Glasgow's Govan is famous for its shipbuilding but not so long

:22:24.:22:26.

The award winning Police Pipe Band which won

:22:27.:22:29.

the World championships 13 times began there.

:22:30.:22:33.

Now a documentary follows the fortunes of the area's

:22:34.:22:35.

Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports.

:22:36.:22:43.

Introducing Scotland's newest pipe band.

:22:44.:22:56.

At only ten and 11 years old, an international mix

:22:57.:22:59.

I did not think people would take it and there is a better chance

:23:00.:23:04.

There is a bit of a challenge sometimes but they are fun,

:23:05.:23:11.

Govan is famous for its shipbuilding and also its pipe bands,

:23:12.:23:18.

not least the award winning Greater Glasgow Police Band.

:23:19.:23:20.

Retired policeman Ian Watson plays with them, but now wants to create

:23:21.:23:23.

With so many different nationalities, religions,

and they are all here and all learning the Scottish

The programme follows their progress as well as giving them the chance

:23:44.:23:46.

to meet pipers making a career out of playing.

If I had not practised so much back in school then I would not be

:23:49.:23:58.

You can learn all sorts of instruments in school

:23:59.:24:14.

to the side, there are some great juvenile pipe bands but most of them

:24:15.:24:19.

I think it is a great chance if everyone gets the same

:24:20.:24:23.

As for Govern's pipe band you will have to watch

:24:24.:24:26.

the programme to see if they have what it takes to win a title

:24:27.:24:33.

but for Ian they are winners already.

:24:34.:24:41.

They really amaze me and if you do not want
