and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The trial begins of a teenager accused of the murder | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
of a 16-year-old boy at a school in Aberdeen. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
His head teacher tells the court about the efforts | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
which will handle the benefits that'll be devolved to Scotland. | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
It came from outer space. A meteor lights up Scotland's night sky. | :00:24. | :00:37. | |
-S the most surreal experience I've ever had. I looked to my son saying | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
what the hell was that. He said it might have been a meteor. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Claims that a company that provides housing to asylum seekers | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
is failing to follow guidelines on eviction procedures. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
And the long distance dedication of a teenage skating star who's | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
notching up the road miles to make her Olympic dreams come true. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
in Aberdeen after been stabbed in the heart during a fight. | :01:02. | :01:26. | |
16-year-old Bailey Gwynne was fatally injured at Cults Academy | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Today, another 16-year-old boy, who can't be named for legal reasons, | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
went on trial accused of the murder, which he denies. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Steven Duff reports from the High Court in Aberdeen. | :01:37. | :01:50. | |
The school Cults Academy should have been like any other on 20th October | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
last year. It ended as a day pupils and staff will probably never | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
forget. 16-year-old Bailey Gwynne strapped to death during the lunch | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
break. Today, a fellow 16-year-old pupil, who can't be named for legal | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
reasons, went on trial charged with his murder. Bailey's family were in | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
court when, for the first time, it was revealed how he died. In a joint | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
minute, that's an agreement of the facts between the prosecution and | :02:20. | :02:20. | |
minute, that's an agreement of the defence, it was revealed Bailey and | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
the accused had been fighting inside the school. Bailey was struck in the | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
body by a knife by the accused. The cause of death, a single penetrating | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
stab wound to the heart. The Cult Academy head teacher spoke of the | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
moment she saw Bailey Gwynne lying injured, bleeding and very pale. She | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
said the accused was distraught, gesturing towards Bailey indicating, | :02:49. | :02:49. | |
that was my fault. A boy who gesturing towards Bailey indicating, | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
witnessed the fight that led to the stabbing said it appeared to start | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
in a row over a biscuit. He said he remembered the boys' punching each | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
other, holding on to each other. He said the accused reached into his | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
pocket, pulled out a knife. He thrust it into Bailey, into his | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
tummy. The fight stopped and he departed. The accused denies murder | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
and having two weapons on school property. The trial continues. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Scotland is to get a new agency to handle 11 benefits | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
which are to be devolved to Holyrood. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
The benefits include support for carers, | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Ministers say the new agency will treat people with | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
The powers won't be transferred until after next year. | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
But already there's a political battle over the level of benefits | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
This from our Political Editor, Brian Taylor. | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
For more than 20 years, this voluntary centre in Glasgow has | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
provided helped and hope to people with disabilities. Always in the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
background, worries over benefits. They've cut my benefits right down. | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
That's a worry. You'll start worry about how to pay bills, buy food. | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
How am I going to live with the cuts? Pay my rent and my council | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
tax? Scottish ministers offer reassurance. They say benefits will | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
be paid promptly and in full by a new Scottish welfare agency. So, by | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
far the biggest budget to be devolved to Holyrood, a range of | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
benefits to help people with disabilities. Other benefits to be | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
devolved are the careers allowance, winter fuel payments and Sure Start | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
maternity grant. There's no change to the state pension and child | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
benefit. Those remain in Westminster control. What age is your father? | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
87. In Edinburgh, Alex Neil meets careers from ethnic minority | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
communities. He's promised to increase payment to careers and | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
scrap the bedroom tax. Social security is about gig knitty, | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
fairness, respect and entitlement. None of us know when we're going to | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
require the social security system to see us through a bad patch. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Labour will match the ministerial offer and plans to double maternity | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
grants. Visiting an east Lothian school, Kes ya promises a full grant | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
for pupils going from care into higher education. She's ready to | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
for pupils going from care into push up income tax by 1% and wonders | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
where the SNP will find the money. You can't make promises you can't | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
keep. The the SNP will have to explain how they will increase the | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
amount of revenues to increase these spending powers. On-Lamont for the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Conservatives warned any reforms must discourage dependency on | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
benefits. Willie Rennie said Scotland must work together to make | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
the new system effective. Back at the Glasgow voluntary centre, | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
they're listening closely for signs of change. Sometimes, disabled and | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
vulnerable people, you feel like sometimes you're walking around with | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
a bullseye on your back. For folk here, this isn't political, it's | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
personal. Brian, the Skollish Government is | :06:25. | :06:34. | |
looking to allow the Scotland I bill to be voted into law by SNPs in how | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
important is that? A very big deal. We're not quite there yet. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Parliament has to Dziwisz consent. We are perhaps nearing the end. This | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
started with the post referendum consideration, the Smith Commission, | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
those tax power we've been debating, welfare powers we've looked at | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
today. An accumulation of new powers for the Scottish Parliament. Giving | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
the go-ahead to the Scotland bill, the statute that puts that forward | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
at Westminster, that is a significant move indeed. After all | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
the debate, there hasn't been much of a bang but a sympathetic whimper | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
we're close to the policy debate. Tomorrow, we'll hear more on plans | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
to reform council tax? What can we expect there? It's been on the stock | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
for decades. Scottish ministers will set out their proposals tomorrow. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
They are looking to assign a share to local authorities. There will be | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
new bands, particularly at the top to local authorities. There will be | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
end. Perhaps those living in the largest properties paying more | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
proportionately than those down the largest properties paying more | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
ranks in terms of property prices. It is a very difficult decision. | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Each of the parties will have to come to that decision as to what | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
their proposals are to go to those elections here for the Holyrood | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Parliament in May. Big league, big politics, big choice. Thank you. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Inquests into the deaths of 30 British holidaymakers | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
killed in a terrorist attack on a beach in Tunisia | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
Two couples from Scotland, Jim and Ann McQuire from Cumbernauld | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
and Billy and Lisa Graham from Bankfoot in Perthshire, | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
were among those who died in the attack, in the resort | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
But at a hearing in London today, the judge who's been | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
appointed as coroner said there was still an enormous | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
amount of work required, before the inquest could get under way. | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. | :08:34. | :08:33. | |
Still to come on tonight's programme: | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Claims that a company that provides housing to asylum seekers | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
is failing to follow guidelines on eviction procedures. | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
In sport, the Dons boss Derek McInness | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
defends the mental attitude of his squad. | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
And we meet the Stirlingshire teenager, with the toughest | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
of regimes, hoping to go all the way to the Winter Olympic Games. | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
There were dozens of calls to the emergency services | :08:56. | :09:07. | |
across Scotland last night after a fireball lit up the night | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
As Jackie O'Brien reports, experts say it was likely to be | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
a meteor about the size of a tennis ball, burning up, | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Scotland saw the light just before 7.00pm last night. It only lasted | :09:22. | :09:32. | |
seconds but a number of people managed to capture it on their | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
dashboard cameras as they drove home from work. What's the hell's that? | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
What the hell was that? It was the most surreal experience I've ever | :09:44. | :09:44. | |
What the hell was that? It was the had. I looked at my son. I said, | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
what the hell was that? He just looked at me and went, I think a | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
meteor or something. Bright light then dark again straight after. It | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
was absolutely amazing to see. It wasn't until I stopped the car, | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
looked at my dash camfootage I realised it might have been a | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
meteor. The huge flash of bright light illuminated the skies right | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
across the north of Scotland. It was seen by thousands of people here in | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
the Highlands and spotted as far south as County Durham. Suddenly, | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
there was an enormous flash which lit up the sky. Of course, I knew it | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
wasn't something simple like a firework or lightning. It was | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
something very different. I called the police, 101, the officer I spoke | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
to said he'd had several calls around this. He was able to tell me | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
at the time it wasn't an aircraft but they were investigating. The | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
earth's atmosphere creates all kinds of different light. But experts are | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
convinced that this display was caused by a meteor. A small lump of | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
space rock heading towards Scotland. Millions of pieces fall on the earth | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
all the time. Most tiny. Every so often you get a larger chunk. The | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
one last night was probably about the size of a tennis ball, maybe a | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
bit bigger. We estimate something like half a million objects like | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
that urn about up in our atmosphere. It is uncommon to see them as Spock | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
tack laterally as last night. The identification of this flying object | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
does end some of the more identification of this flying object | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
far-fetched speculation that it could have been extra Terreest | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
reeling or even Tim peak trying to brighten up a long, dark, Scottish | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
night! A man has been arrested | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
following alleged "xenophobic The incident happened | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
at about 4.40pm on Saturday, during the SPFL game | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
at Tynecastle Stadium in Edinburgh. The incident happened just | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
before 7.30 this morning. It caused the closure | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
of a nearby primary school. Police Scotland said there was a | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
small fire but no-one was injured. They're trying to trace | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
a silver Volkswagen car, that was seen in | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
the area at the time. A new report's found Scottish | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
Government policies haves helped to cut the amount of alcohol people are | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
drinking. NHS health Scotland said the ban on multi-buy promotions such | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
as three for the priors of two, had the ban on multi-buy promotions such | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
helped tackle Cholet byes. But it warned more needs to be done, | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
including the introduction of a new minimum price for alcohol. | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Asylum seekers living in Glasgow may have had their locks changed to | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
remove them from their homes according to emails obtained by the | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
BBC. A former employee of Orchard and Shipman, which provides housing | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
to asylum seekers in Scotland told the beak the company failed to | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
follow agreed eviction procedures which could leave some people | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
homeless. It comes as politicians have called for an inquiry into | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
asylum accommodation in the UK. The Home Office gave Serco | :13:02. | :13:12. | |
contract to home asylum seekers in Glasgow. It was subcontracted to | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
orchard and Shipman. The company may have breached Government guidelines | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
by changing the locks of asylum seekers whose applications to remain | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
in the UK have been refused potentially leaving them homeless. | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
Internal emails abtaped by the BBC show staff have been issued about | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
lists of asylum seekers who needed to be removed of the one e-mail from | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
a manager provides a number of adryss and says staff needs to | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
advice them to leave. If they do no move, perform a lock change at the | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
first available opportunity. Make sure this is given absolute | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
priority. In another entitled lock changes, the same manager provides a | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
list of addresses. Ensure we bag and tag belongings at the same time as | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
performing lock changes. The company said none of the residents left the | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
properties within three months of that e-mail. Serco's agreement and | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
Home Office guidelines says when someone's application for asylum has | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
been refused they need to be begin 21 days to leave. We have learned | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
orchard and Shipman's never obtained an eviction order in the Scottish | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
courts. The company said under the asylum and immigration acted there's | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
no legal requirement for orchard and Shipman to... This man told us some | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
asylum seekers were removed when their applications were removed. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
They will look at a time to catch them when they are out so they can | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
change the locks. As simple and brutal as that. From their | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
perspective they want that flat cleared so they can move the next | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
paying customer in. But it does leads to these horrendous situations | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
where people that are extremely leads to these horrendous situations | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
vulnerable are getting evicted. The company said it routinely changed | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
vulnerable are getting evicted. The the locks after the vacation of | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
granted and refused asylum seeker departures because keys may be | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
duplicated. It said it followed all legislation and it was meeting its | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
duplicated. It said it followed all contractual obligations. The support | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
it provided excited Home Office requirements. The Home Office said: | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
If there was a requirement to to do so and all other avenues have been | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
exhausted, it is the responsibility of the provider to undertake legal | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
proceed us to evict the people from the property. We'll investigate any | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
complaint we receive that a contractor is falling short of these | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
standards. Today, politicians called for an inquiry before the | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
multimillion pound contract to house asylum seekers is renewed next year. | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
A look now at other stories from across the country. | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
Greggs is to close its bakery in Edinburgh. | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
However, the company said it was investing in its Clydesmill | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
Scotland's biggest fish farming company, Marine Harvest, | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
has confirmed that 80 jobs are going as part | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
Most of the redundancies are in Lochaber, including office | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
staff in Fort William, people working at the town's fish | :16:30. | :16:31. | |

Work is underway at an Arbroath boat yard on a pair of new masts | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
They're being shaped from the trunks of two Douglas Fir trees, | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
The masts, measuring up to 17 metres, will be fitted | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Nowadays it would be unusual. It's aluminium and steel mass nowadays. | :16:52. | :17:07. | |
The wooden masts are a thing of the past, really. But it keeps us in a | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
job. Scotrail's announced plans | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
to expand its Smartcard system for all season ticket holders | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
across every route in Scotland. Right now, it can only be used | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
on four routes in the central belt. But by the end of the summer, | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
it will be available Scotrail's also looking to introduce | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
the card to buses and ferries. It's going to help transform the way | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
people travel across Scotland. It will reduce the queueing time at | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
ticket offices. You will buy your products on the sofa and use them | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
the next day and get through the gates really quickly. | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
