Prosecutors who want to bring a fresh trial against a man cleared | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
of murdering a student more than two decades ago have begun | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The Crown Office wants to use recent Double Jeopardy legislation | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
to secure a re-trial of Francis Auld. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
In 1992, he was acquitted of the murder of Amanda Duffy in | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Amanda Duffy had been returning home from a night out on May 30 1992. | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
She was 19 years old when she was killed. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Her badly beaten body was discovered near car park in Hamilton. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Later that year, 19-year-old Francis Auld was acquitted | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
of her murder after a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
Almost 25 years later, her family were back in court. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Prosecutors have made an application for a retrial | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
We cannot report the detail of the case for legal reasons. | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
The grounds to make an application using double jeopardy legislation | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
are strict, prosecutors must show that compelling new evidence has | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
It is only the third time an application has been made | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
In November 2014, Angus Sinclair was convicted of the murder of two | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
And a man is due to stand trial later this year for the murder | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
Over the next two days, judges will consider the evidence | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
Only then will they decide if there are grounds for a retrial. | :01:40. | :01:52. | |
The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow has | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
had its worst waiting times since it opened in April last year. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Less than 76% of patients were seen within four hours | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
The Scottish Government target is for 95% of patients | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
The average figures for A departments that week | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
was that 88 percent of patients had treatment completed | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
The right for Scottish juries to return a not proven verdict | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
in criminal trials is a distinguishing feature | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
But it's long been controversial, dividing those in the legal | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
Now a Labour MSP is seeking to have it abolished | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
and a Holyrood Committee's looking into that. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
But the Government says it's not yet convinced. | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
For centuries, justice has been meted out here in the heart | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
Guilty and not guilty have echoed in the courtrooms. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
It has been under pressure for years and one MSP | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
I think not proven actually suggests there may have been some evidence | :02:55. | :03:08. | |
that they have done it but not enough to convict and I don't | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
believe that is what a trial is there to achieve, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
it is there to look at the evidence and arrived at a conclusion | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
There have been high profile cases where families of victims say not | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
proven has left them with no | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
The verdict is said to be confusing jurors. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
At the moment you need at least eight for a guilty verdict. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Michael McMahon wants to increase that to ten if not proven | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
The Justice Secretary is listening to the arguments. | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
I'm not upset unsympathetic to reform | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
and that is why we are undertaking the research but I'm mindful | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
of the fundamental nature that these areas have within our criminal | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
justice system and prior to undertaking any changes, | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
I think it is prudent and responsible to make sure | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
we are clear about the evidence base. | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
The wheels of justice turn slowly, as they do in politics. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
There are only a few weeks left in this parliamentary session before | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
the Holyrood election so not much more can be done. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
Lawyers have argued about this for years so no doubt MSPs | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
will continue to debate it further in the next Parliament. | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
Police investigating the murder of a Fife grandmother say | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
they believe she didn't leave her home on the day she died. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Mary Logie was killed a fortnight ago in her flat in Leven. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
Officers say she was still in her nightdress when her body | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
was discovered on the evening of the 5th of January | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
after she'd missed a number of appointments. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Tonight, the Celtic Connections festival has been celebrating | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
the true stories of more than 100,000 children | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
sent from Scotland to Canada, Australia and other | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
The Ballads of Child Migration were commissioned for | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
a new exhibition about the schemes run by charities, religious | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
Here's our arts correspondent, Pauline McLean | :05:12. | :05:33. | |
to Canada, Australia and other Commonwealth countries as part | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
A lot of great folk music comes from families, | :05:43. | :05:58. | |
These children had no families and not only that, | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
a lot were orphans and when they left, there was nobody to miss them | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
7,000 children went from this one village set up in the 19th century | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
He was one of the first to sign up to the migration programme believing | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
it offered a new life to children who had nothing. | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
He gave them a choice, they did not have to go. | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
There was a migration officer that came over from Canada to tell them | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
about life there and actually he kitted them out with all | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
their worldly goods, a trunk and suits and warm clothing | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
The ages of the children range from three months to 17 | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
when they leave to take up various occupations. | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
By the 1950s, Quarriers no longer sent orphans | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
abroad but other charities did and often they were not orphans. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Yvonne was just nine months old when she arrived at Nazareth | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
House and ten when she was sent to Australia. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
It was 30 years before she learned her mother and five | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
At that age you do what the nuns tell you. | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
It was something different, we were going on a | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
We had never heard of Australia, we had never been out of Glasgow. | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
They didn't tell you you weren't coming back. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
The concert tonight along with an exhibition in London at last | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
gives voice to those children's stories. | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
Previously unseen work by the late Scottish artist John Bellany have | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
gone on show at the Scottish Parliament in an exhibition | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
The hospitals were set up across Europe in the First World | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
War, with Scots women tending wounded soldiers, | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
they should stay at home and wait for the men to return. | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
A body of work never shown before in public. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
He had been seriously ill in hospital himself and died | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
This collection has been kept by his family in private until now. | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
He would be so pleased to see them on the walls here. | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
Because he was totally inspired by the knowledge he gained | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
when he was looking into the subject. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
He had no idea and he was in total awe of the courage and spirit | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
In the First World War the women were told to go home and wait | :08:21. | :08:30. | |
Undaunted and unpaid they put themselves in danger to help others, | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
setting up hospitals in the front-line in France, | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
Russia and Serbia where they are considered heroes. | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
What we are doing in Scotland is catching up on our own history | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
by recognising the wonderful work that was done by the women of | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Scottish football will not adopt strict liability laws to deal | :08:45. | :09:02. | |
with sectarian singing at football grounds. | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
That was the message from one SPFL board member today | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
after a meeting of all clubs at Hampden. | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
But clubs say there is an appetite to deal | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
with the problem, as well as the increasing use of smoke | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
The first all-club meeting of the new year. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Reports of sectarian singing are on the increase, | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
like this at a recent match between Rangers and Hibs. | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
As are the use of flares and smoke bombs. | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
In other countries, clubs are held to accountability by something | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
A zero-tolerance approach to unruly behaviour. | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
I think there's no chance whatsoever of the clubs agreeing | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Should clubs whose fans sing sectarian songs be punished? | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
Should clubs who don't take every reasonable step to improve | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
the experience for all of their fans ensure that inappropriate behaviour | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
financial assistance, crowd facial recognition technology. | :10:08. | :10:29. | |
Ultimately, if you want the supporters to behave | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
appropriately, you have to have the sanction of imposing | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
A tough punishment, but it's an issue many believe Scottish | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
football has been too soft on for too long. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Now to matters on the pitch, and Celtic extended their lead | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
at the top of the Scottish Premiership to six points | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
The champions recorded an 8-1 victory over the visitors. | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
Elsewhere, the Scottish Cup replay between Forfar Athletic | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
and Linlithgow Rose was abandoned after floodlight failure, | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
while Inverness Caley Thistle beat Stirling Albion 2-0 | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
to go into the next round of the tournament. | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
Now Christopher is here with the weather outlook | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
Last night was the coldest night of the winter so far. Ice on the | :11:16. | :11:30. | |
Last night was the coldest night of surface of the river that has broken | :11:31. | :11:40. | |
up. Pancake ice. A different type of ice in the forecast tonight. There | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
is a double be aware warning from the Met office especially on | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
untreated roads and surface. But across the UK, fork is probably a | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
bigger issue. Some freezing fog patches applied for us first thing | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
tomorrow. It will be a cold start, but largely dry. The wind is light, | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
and a few light showers in the north-east coast. Where we seek the | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
lowest temperatures tonight, it could well be cold them that. | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
Judging the body caught most of those fog patches were left. Some | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
sunshine at times coming through. It is a similar story across the UK. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
The best of the sunshine in the Midlands and the South, but | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
temperature is still struggling. A cold afternoon for us in Scotland. | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
Staying dry in the evening. Much cold afternoon for us in Scotland. | :12:40. | :12:51. | |
milder air coming our way on Friday, bringing with it some rain and some | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
pressure just about holding on, so pressure just about holding on, so | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
another largely dry day. Still quite chilly at times. The temperatures | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
started to creep up. On Friday, those weather fronts arrive. Then | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
comes the rain, and the wind strengthening from the south. Highs | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
of 10-11. That is all for now. And that's all from | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
Reporting Scotland tonight. We're back with regular | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
updates from 6.25 tomorrow From all of us on the late team | :13:24. | :13:24. | |
here in Glasgow and around | :13:25. | :13:30. |
