A court hears that a teenager accused of fatally stabbing a pupil

:00:21.:00:24.

at an Aberdeen school wiped blood off his hands and sobbed

:00:25.:00:26.

People in the most expensive houses are to pay more,

:00:27.:01:11.

under the First Minister's plans for reform of council tax.

:01:12.:01:18.

There are calls for tackling to be banned in school rugby,

:01:19.:01:21.

but the sport says it would destroy the game.

:01:22.:01:24.

And we hear what Andy Murray thinks of being a dad,

:01:25.:01:28.

as he prepares to defend the Davis Cup.

:01:29.:01:29.

on a court has heard how a 16 -year-old boy accused of fatally

:01:30.:01:33.

stabbing a teenager at an Aberdeen school wiped blood

:01:34.:01:34.

off his teenager hands and sobbed the accused, who cannot be named for

:01:35.:01:48.

legal reasons dot-mac and emotional day for the family of Bailey Gwynne

:01:49.:01:52.

as they heard more details of the battle to save the 16 -year-old's

:01:53.:01:56.

light. The trial has already heard how he died after suffering a single

:01:57.:02:01.

penetrating stout wooden to the heart. Paramedic Gary Gillespie told

:02:02.:02:06.

how he found Bailey lying in a corridor at cults Academy. He

:02:07.:02:11.

described him as the nicest person he had ever seen. Mister Gillespie

:02:12.:02:16.

said as well as looking very pale, Bailey was gasping for breath. He

:02:17.:02:25.

had a wound and signs of a catastrophic loss of blood. He

:02:26.:02:31.

suffered cardiac arrest. Resuscitation attempts it continued

:02:32.:02:33.

until they reached Aberdeen Royal infirmary. But there were no signs

:02:34.:02:39.

of life. Asked if there was anything more that could've been done, Mister

:02:40.:02:42.

Gillespie said no. In the immediate aftermath of the incident, the 16

:02:43.:02:46.

-year-old boy who was accused of murdering Bailey Gwynne, whom we

:02:47.:02:49.

cannot name for legal reasons, was taken to the headteacher's office.

:02:50.:02:55.

Soon, 2-mac police officers arrived and the accused was handcuffed. The

:02:56.:03:08.

accused is reported to have asked if he was dead. He said it was just a

:03:09.:03:15.

moment of anger. The deputy teacher at Cults Academy dot-mac earlier, a

:03:16.:03:27.

number of child witnesses told they saw the accused with a knife and a

:03:28.:03:29.

knuckle-dusters in school. One friend of the accused said he didn't

:03:30.:03:34.

believe he was the type of person to engage in violent activity with

:03:35.:03:37.

weapons. A difficult day of evidence for Bailey Gwynne's family. The

:03:38.:03:41.

accused denies murder and other charges of possessing weapons.

:03:42.:03:52.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon wants to increase council tax for those in

:03:53.:03:58.

the most expensive houses if the SNP wins the Hollywood election in May.

:03:59.:04:02.

The Conservatives said it was right to keep the council tax. Labour said

:04:03.:04:06.

the SNP was breaking a promise to scrap it.

:04:07.:04:13.

Nicola Sturgeon's cooktop changes to council tax that should bring in an

:04:14.:04:20.

extra ?100 million a year for schools. Those living in the highest

:04:21.:04:23.

value houses in Scotland will pay more. How much more quiz-mac well,

:04:24.:04:29.

nothing in property bands letter A- D. It rises to ?207 in band F. 335

:04:30.:04:47.

in band G. There will be exemptions for those on low incomes, including

:04:48.:04:54.

pensioners. We are bringing changes to council tax in, asking those who

:04:55.:04:58.

live in more expensive houses to pay more. The vast majority of people

:04:59.:05:02.

will not pay any more as a result of these changes, and those with the

:05:03.:05:06.

lowest incomes will pay less. There was a time when the SMP wanted to

:05:07.:05:12.

abolish council tax rather than to reform it. But, after nine years in

:05:13.:05:18.

power, they have decided to keep it after all and to try and make it a

:05:19.:05:23.

bit fairer. I think we accept that the principle that in large property

:05:24.:05:29.

should pay a little bit more. But we have to be careful that we

:05:30.:05:33.

are not making more expensive properties more unaffordable. Nicola

:05:34.:05:39.

Sturgeon and the SNP have won-mac not one but two elections on a

:05:40.:05:44.

promise to abolish the council tax. They have broken that promise. The

:05:45.:05:48.

only thing they have abolished is the council tax freeze. If the SNP

:05:49.:05:52.

avoids rejection at the election, the freeze will be lifted in 2017.

:05:53.:05:58.

That would let councils raise more for local councils by putting up tax

:05:59.:06:02.

across all bands. Any increases would be capped at 3% by the

:06:03.:06:08.

Scottish Government. The SNP seem more determined to take control away

:06:09.:06:12.

from local communities and authorities. They think they know

:06:13.:06:16.

best in this place over my shoulder. I think local communities know

:06:17.:06:22.

better. These plans are Intel -- insulting and timid. We believe in

:06:23.:06:25.

autonomy and strengthening local democracy. We believe that means

:06:26.:06:30.

giving them powers to raise money they want to on local services. In

:06:31.:06:36.

future, councils may be able to tax law -- derelict land and develop it.

:06:37.:06:42.

A reformed council tax that makes those in bigger houses pay a bit

:06:43.:06:47.

more is the centrepiece of the SNP's plan.

:06:48.:06:54.

The SNP plan to reform council tax isn't as radical as some had hoped

:06:55.:07:00.

for. In 2007, the party planned to replace the tax entirely with a

:07:01.:07:05.

local income tax. Last year, a major report examined several turn atoms.

:07:06.:07:14.

As Jamie McIvor reports, those who wanted big changes are disappointed.

:07:15.:07:18.

Council tax pays for all sorts of services, such as this gem. Whether

:07:19.:07:24.

it should be reformed or replaced as exercise minds for years. The SNP is

:07:25.:07:31.

proposing something well short of the radical campaign -- change that

:07:32.:07:36.

some campaign for. The body that represents most councils isn't

:07:37.:07:39.

happy. I am really surprised there has been so little announced will

:07:40.:07:43.

stop from the point of view of adjusting the bands, it is tinkering

:07:44.:07:49.

around the edges. If it is to deliver quality, that could have

:07:50.:07:53.

been done a number of years ago. Last year, a commission set up by

:07:54.:07:57.

the government and Coors light studied local taxation carefully. --

:07:58.:08:07.

COSLA. The commitments were not binding but some are still surprised

:08:08.:08:11.

that the changes have not been bolder. It did a good job, collected

:08:12.:08:15.

vast amounts of information and evidence, consulted with people

:08:16.:08:19.

around Scotland, and concluded that, although they didn't come up with a

:08:20.:08:22.

around Scotland, and concluded that, specific, that council tax should

:08:23.:08:28.

end anyway. It was an unfair scheme of taxation. What we have is the

:08:29.:08:33.

council tax with a few bells and whistles on it. The SNP says the

:08:34.:08:37.

money raised will go on education, may be helping the children here

:08:38.:08:42.

when they are older. Most people will not pay significantly more

:08:43.:08:46.

council tax under the SNP's plans. The bigger impact will be on those

:08:47.:08:50.

who live in the -- more expensive properties. Any pressure on the

:08:51.:08:54.

budget will be difficult. At the same time, we appreciate that the

:08:55.:08:57.

councils have been cash-strapped in the last two years. I don't have a

:08:58.:09:02.

problem paying tax, but I think that everything needs to be justified.

:09:03.:09:08.

When it comes to big change, they say, no pain, no gain. Is reforming

:09:09.:09:11.

the council tax and easy option or is it the better one quiz-mac voters

:09:12.:09:14.

get their say in May's elections. Still to come called on their calls

:09:15.:09:35.

to ban contact in rugby, but some say it will spoil the game.

:09:36.:09:46.

We will hear from Andy Murray on the joys of parenthood and tennis.

:09:47.:09:54.

The Scottish Government is being accused of depriving the rule

:09:55.:09:58.

economy of hundreds of millions of pounds because of a delay in

:09:59.:10:01.

administering EU payments to farmers. A new computer system is

:10:02.:10:05.

being blamed, but farmers say it has left them with cash flow problems.

:10:06.:10:09.

They want ministers to go back to Brussels to agree new payment

:10:10.:10:13.

arrangements. Livestock prices may have been

:10:14.:10:18.

holding their own at the Dingwall market today, but farmers were in no

:10:19.:10:26.

mood to celebrate. Many are running out of funds and patience with the

:10:27.:10:30.

Scottish Government, which has been unable to pay them outstanding

:10:31.:10:32.

subsidies due to them since last September. Our business is

:10:33.:10:37.

suffering, but I am hearing horrendous noise from people who are

:10:38.:10:44.

struggling to pay bills, just the day-to-day cash payments. The

:10:45.:10:49.

Scottish farming industry is entitled to ?400 million from this

:10:50.:10:57.

particular EU subsidy popped. -- pot. But so far less than half of

:10:58.:11:05.

the farmers have been paid. The delay is jute or problems with a new

:11:06.:11:10.

computer system. The system is working, just not fast enough, and

:11:11.:11:15.

we accept that. We want to get payments out before the end of the

:11:16.:11:20.

month. We want to get as many payments as we can out to farmers

:11:21.:11:23.

and crofters because we understand the serious cash flow problems. I

:11:24.:11:27.

think Richard Lochhead has lost the confidence of rural Scotland. So

:11:28.:11:31.

many payments have not been made that would have been in others

:11:32.:11:34.

years, people are really struggling to make ends meet. This is a mistake

:11:35.:11:39.

to stop it is a ?200 billion computer system that is not working.

:11:40.:11:42.

The Scottish Government could be fined by Europe if it does not

:11:43.:11:45.

administer the money by the end of June, and it is being urged to pay

:11:46.:11:51.

up, in line with France and Ireland. They are trying to make sure

:11:52.:11:54.

everything is right so that they don't get penalties, but they will

:11:55.:11:59.

fall of the other end and get a penalty anyway. We should do what

:12:00.:12:03.

they do in Ireland - pay the money out, you will get a penalty anyway.

:12:04.:12:08.

This comes amid fears that farmers and crofters in some Scotland's most

:12:09.:12:13.

disadvantaged areas are the next to have their subsidy stall. --

:12:14.:12:25.

subsidies stalled. Should tackling be banned in rugby?

:12:26.:12:31.

Doctors have written to minister saying that tackling can have

:12:32.:12:36.

lifelong consequences for children. Some schools and children are

:12:37.:12:39.

questioning the calls. George Watson 's College in

:12:40.:12:42.

Edinburgh, the game of rugby goes hand-in-hand the history of the

:12:43.:12:48.

school. Tackle, present. It is not compulsory, but the full contact

:12:49.:12:52.

game begins in primary. Teachers say they follow strict guidance on

:12:53.:12:56.

game begins in primary. Teachers say injuries, particularly concussion.

:12:57.:13:01.

If we suspect an injury, we follow the concussion guidelines, which

:13:02.:13:04.

would be in practice for any sport in Scotland. We would remove the

:13:05.:13:08.

child from play, liaise with parents, making sure the parent knew

:13:09.:13:13.

exactly what happened. We would then follow it up with the medical team

:13:14.:13:16.

at the school. Increasingly, questions are being asked about the

:13:17.:13:20.

long-term health implications of tackles in rugby, and that has led

:13:21.:13:24.

to these health experts calling for an outright ban in schools. They say

:13:25.:13:29.

it is responsible for way more injuries and concussions than any

:13:30.:13:35.

other part of the game. There are problems with learning, memory loss,

:13:36.:13:39.

depression, seizures, visual impairments, even hearing

:13:40.:13:42.

impairments. In the long term, we know there is an association with

:13:43.:13:46.

long-term repeat concussions, with depression and mental health

:13:47.:13:51.

problems, but also with serious neurological disorders. Big

:13:52.:13:56.

crunching tackles have become part of the modern game. Just last week,

:13:57.:14:00.

Blair Cullen was taken off after a of the modern game. Just last week,

:14:01.:14:04.

clash of heads against Wales. Those at the top of the game say that

:14:05.:14:08.

taking tackles out of the youth setup would be detrimental. If you

:14:09.:14:12.

learn the basics and you learn properly and you are taught properly

:14:13.:14:16.

from a young age, it means you can harness your techniques from a young

:14:17.:14:20.

age and you will progress along and get bigger and more physical. It is

:14:21.:14:25.

not like, all of a sudden, you are trying to tackle a big man running

:14:26.:14:29.

at you like a train. Culture at grassroots level argue

:14:30.:14:33.

there is an element of risk in all sports. James Adam is coach and

:14:34.:14:37.

parent of an eight-year-old son who plays. Every week, you get thousands

:14:38.:14:42.

of people playing rugby, thousands of people leaving the field with no

:14:43.:14:46.

injuries. Yes, there is inherent risk in all contact sports, but as a

:14:47.:14:52.

guy who played rugby for years, 20 odd years, I never once got injured

:14:53.:14:56.

tackling somebody. Last year, the Scottish Government issued new

:14:57.:15:00.

guidelines for rugby and said, if in doubt, sit it out. Campaigners will

:15:01.:15:05.

push for a clearer picture of the future of this high impact sport.

:15:06.:15:11.

UK counterterrorism measures make it more difficult for Muslim leaders to

:15:12.:15:14.

compact extremism in their communities. That is the view of the

:15:15.:15:19.

Muslim Council of Scotland. The organisation today held

:15:20.:15:23.

a counter-extremism seminar in Glasgow, attended

:15:24.:15:24.

by the Justice Minister, It looked at the threat extremism

:15:25.:15:26.

poses to the public, and how to better work

:15:27.:15:30.

with the wider community. This confusion between community

:15:31.:15:43.

relations and Security. When you put these together there are problems.

:15:44.:15:49.

As many people have expressed here, they will not talk openly because

:15:50.:15:54.

they think it will be taken as a security issue, whereas we want to

:15:55.:15:56.

build community relations. Fifty-six pupils at a primary in

:15:57.:16:11.

Milngavie are off school with symptoms of norovirus. Parents and

:16:12.:16:15.

carers of children at Clober Primary School have been sent a text by East

:16:16.:16:18.

Dunbartonshire Council to alert them about the outbreak. They have been

:16:19.:16:20.

told if their child exhibits symptoms they are to be kept off

:16:21.:16:23.

school for forty-eight hours. The school is being deep cleaned this

:16:24.:16:24.

school for forty-eight hours. The evening and will be open tomorrow.

:16:25.:16:27.

Two men and a woman have been charged in connection

:16:28.:16:29.

with an alleged wilful fire-raising incident at Dyce police

:16:30.:16:31.

It happened just before half past seven yesterday morning.

:16:32.:16:35.

Police say a 41-year-old woman, and two men,

:16:36.:16:48.

It's believed an unexploded torpedo found in Scapa Flow in Orkney

:16:49.:16:52.

at the weekend was fired during the attack on HMS

:16:53.:16:55.

The ship was sunk by a German U-boat in one of the greatest naval

:16:56.:16:59.

The torpedo was discovered on the seabed during

Dog owners are being reminded they must have their pets

:17:03.:17:11.

microchipped from the start of next month.

:17:12.:17:13.

Dogs that haven't been chipped could land their owners with a fine

:17:14.:17:18.

They'll also have to register their details,

:17:19.:17:22.

and keep them up to date on a database.

:17:23.:17:25.

I think it is something that responsible dog owners have been

:17:26.:17:28.

I think it is something that doing for a long time anyway but

:17:29.:17:31.

this is raising the profile and it makes it easier for lost dogs to be

:17:32.:17:36.

reunited with owners, and for dogs that are causing a problem to have

:17:37.:17:38.

action taken against the owner. Centenary celebrations are to be

:18:27.:18:48.

Murray says that parenthood has been great and hopes it can be a

:18:49.:18:51.

beneficial impact on his sporting career but if it does not, it does

:18:52.:18:55.

not. The world number two returns to action in the next few days

:18:56.:18:58.

following the birth of his daughter, Sophia, last month. He will play for

:18:59.:19:01.

Team GB against Japan in the Davis Cup but it seems whatever happens,

:19:02.:19:05.

he will not lose sleep over the outcome.

:19:06.:19:08.

VOICEOVER: He looks the same but since we last saw him on court, Andy

:19:09.:19:14.

Murray has changed a little, he is now a father. I hope that I can

:19:15.:19:18.

continue to train hard and be motivated with my tennis, I hope it

:19:19.:19:22.

has a positive impact but if not, that is fine, as well. Fatherhood

:19:23.:19:27.

had an impact on the 90s aces star, John McEnroe, he did not win another

:19:28.:19:31.

grand slam after becoming a dad. -- on the 1980s star. Add that was down

:19:32.:19:37.

to sleep deprivation, which usually accompanies being a parent. --

:19:38.:19:42.

perhaps. These researchers at Stirling University are exploring

:19:43.:19:46.

the impact of a lack of sleep on sporting performance. It affects

:19:47.:19:50.

reaction time, reaction time is increased, there is also been a

:19:51.:19:54.

recent study, a few years ago, that says it affects motor function as

:19:55.:19:58.

well. They did a study looking at tennis

:19:59.:19:59.

players, they sleep restricted them, they found that the tennis serve was

:20:00.:20:06.

not as accurate when they had normal sleep. Nothing wrong with Stuart

:20:07.:20:10.

Hogg's reactions against Italy at the weekend... Look at the deftness

:20:11.:20:16.

of touch from the Scotland star to set up the try, he is a new father

:20:17.:20:21.

as well. I think that I have improved a little, you do not want

:20:22.:20:25.

to let the little man down! I play for him as much as anywhere else. It

:20:26.:20:29.

is always thinking, what would Archie think? I

:20:30.:20:31.

think I have become a little more professional. That sporting father

:20:32.:20:38.

has some advice for this one, where getting a good nights sleep is

:20:39.:20:39.

concerned. to the Mrs! Perhaps that is a

:20:40.:20:50.

strategy employed by Novak Djokovic, the best tennis player in the world

:20:51.:20:53.

has won four of 11 grand slam title since becoming a father. There are

:20:54.:20:58.

some important matches in the premiership tonight, the outcome of

:20:59.:21:02.

the game between Dundee United and Aberdeen will have implications for

:21:03.:21:06.

the title race and the fight to avoid relegation. United are eight

:21:07.:21:10.

points adrift at the bottom, Aberdeen are six points behind

:21:11.:21:16.

Celtic at the top. We have a couple of special guests joining us, at

:21:17.:21:17.

Tannadice. These two teams in the past became well-known, two men who

:21:18.:21:20.

played many of these fixtures, Hamish

:21:21.:21:29.

McAlpine and Willie Mullins. After the defeat for Kilmarnock last

:21:30.:21:32.

night, and United winning the last two games, it must give the whole

:21:33.:21:34.

club a huge lift. They have got to keep battling for

:21:35.:21:39.

every ball. They have given himself a real

:21:40.:21:59.

chance. The Motherwell game was abysmal. Right out of the blue,

:22:00.:22:05.

obviously, getting big 3-0, we hoped it was Motherwell and them, but they

:22:06.:22:07.

will take anything, kill mana going down, that is better than United

:22:08.:22:27.

going down. -- kill mana. -- Kilmarnock.

:22:28.:22:28.

Losing that late penalty equaliser, that was a big problem. That was a

:22:29.:22:31.

shame. We were bitterly disappointed,

:22:32.:22:35.

because they thought they had the three points in the bag.

:22:36.:23:38.

Well this hazardous back-pass by Caley Thistle's Greg Tansey

:23:39.:23:40.

helped Nigerian striker Abiola Dauda seal a 2-0 win

Five times Scottish Rally Champion David Bogie is turning his back

:24:05.:24:06.

on his home championship this season for a crack at the British title.

:24:07.:24:09.

The 28-year-old from Dumfries heads to Wales this weekend for the first

That looks good. That looks good, yeah. New car, new team, new

:24:26.:24:33.

company to contest the 2016 championship.

:24:34.:24:33.

Mechanics are busy repairing his ?200,000 car for this weekend's mid

Wales Rally. It is the car's first competitive outing, although he won

:24:43.:24:47.

a practice event in it last month. It was the first time this model has

:24:48.:24:52.

won in the British stages. The car was good, absolutely no complaints.

:24:53.:24:56.

I think if you more miles and I will be right on top of it. My initial

:24:57.:25:02.

thoughts are very good. This was David in 2013, storming his way to

:25:03.:25:06.

his fifth Scottish title. In 2011 he won broad that and the British

It is a good bit longer. Any shorter round is between 75 and 120 miles.

get away with a spin or a puncture, for example. This year, it will be a

fast pace from start to finish. His main rivals are the... He heads the

keen for more. We are therefore a good competition. There will be a

lot of that. That is the sport. Now just before the weather

10:30pm on BBC Two. Now, the weather.

:26:34.:26:39.

The cold theme will continue for the next couple of days. This bit of a

:26:40.:26:44.

picture from Kinross looks like something out of Doctor Finlay 's

:26:45.:26:48.

casebook. As far as tonight is concerned, we have a yellow warning

:26:49.:26:54.

for ice in coastal areas in the West and in the Northern Isles. Be aware

:26:55.:26:58.

of that. We have a number of showers in the north, wintry in nature.

:26:59.:27:03.

Showers in the south of die out overnight. One will linger in parts

:27:04.:27:08.

of Aberdeenshire and the Northern Isles. A widespread frost will set

:27:09.:27:15.

in. Heading into tomorrow, it will be the same situation - the risk of

:27:16.:27:21.

ice first thing. A beautiful day on the cards for much of Scotland with

:27:22.:27:24.

crisp winter sunshine. More showers in northern ages -- areas. There may

:27:25.:27:34.

be some cloud coming in towards East Lothian and the Eastern board -- --

:27:35.:27:41.

eastern borders. Some cloud will come into five towards Angus. Lovely

:27:42.:27:46.

sunshine in the Highlands, up towards the Grampian area. The

:27:47.:27:49.

Northern Isles will see one or two showers. As we head towards dusk, we

:27:50.:27:57.

will continue to -- with the same weather. There is a bit of doubt

:27:58.:28:04.

about this front coming into the West. Rain, sleet or snow. It clears

:28:05.:28:12.

away quickly. Look at the pressure chart - quite interesting. It means

:28:13.:28:21.

a lot of dry, cold weather. Showers for North and East of Scotland. In

:28:22.:28:25.

the weekend, high-pressure building in nicely, a very settled look. One

:28:26.:28:32.

or two wintry showers on Friday, towards the south-east initially.

:28:33.:28:40.

Now, a reminder of tonight's main news...

:28:41.:28:43.

A court hears that a teenager accused of fatally

:28:44.:28:45.

stabbing Bailey Gwynne at an Aberdeen school wiped blood

:28:46.:28:47.

off his hands and sobbed after the incident.

:28:48.:28:51.

I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm, and the late bulletin just

:28:52.:28:55.

Until then, from everyone on the team - right

:28:56.:28:58.

across the country - have a very good evening.
