A murder inquiry is underway after a body found in Clydebank

:00:00.:00:12.

near Glasgow was confirmed as missing local

:00:13.:00:14.

The 15-year-old, whose family home is in the Dunbartonshire town,

:00:15.:00:19.

Her body was discovered in a wooded area yesterday.

:00:20.:00:23.

The news that her family and friends had been dreading.

:00:24.:00:32.

Paige Doherty was reported missing on Saturday.

:00:33.:00:35.

This afternoon police said they were treating her

:00:36.:00:37.

Paige is being described as being a girl with a bright future he knew

:00:38.:01:00.

where she was going and had a future ahead of her, who arranged her own

:01:01.:01:03.

placement at the local hairdressers. Her body was found here

:01:04.:01:05.

yesterday afternoon. She had been staying at her friend's

:01:06.:01:08.

house on Friday night and left At about 8:20am, Paige was on her

:01:09.:01:28.

way to a Saturday job at a hairdressers, but please say this

:01:29.:01:34.

was the last known sighting of Paige.

:01:35.:01:35.

She was found about a mile away here by the main road into Glasgow

:01:36.:01:38.

Police say they want to know what happened to Paige,

:01:39.:01:42.

This is the main thoroughfare to Glasgow. What I need to ask is, if

:01:43.:01:58.

you were here and stored in this location and saw anything

:01:59.:02:01.

suspicious, anything out of the ordinary, please come forward.

:02:02.:02:03.

Paige's mother reported her missing on Saturday night and posters

:02:04.:02:06.

Her mother wrote on Facebook, we are all absolutely devastated,

:02:07.:02:10.

as will many people who know her will be.

:02:11.:02:18.

Throughout the day local people have being bringing flowers in memory of

:02:19.:02:27.

Paige. The local authority area that represents where Paige went to

:02:28.:02:30.

school said she was popular and bright with a good sense of humour.

:02:31.:02:35.

They are now working to support the young people who were at school with

:02:36.:02:40.

her at this sad time. A postmortem is being carried out to find out

:02:41.:02:44.

because of her death and the investigation here continues.

:02:45.:02:48.

The issue of tax is dominating Scottish politics, and the election

:02:49.:02:51.

campaign for Holyrood isn't even officially underway yet.

:02:52.:02:54.

The SNP have laid out their income tax plans, whilst Scottish Labour

:02:55.:02:57.

wants to scrap the council tax and introduce a new system.

:02:58.:03:01.

Here's our Political Editor Brian Taylor.

:03:02.:03:11.

Political ping-pong? No, the real thing at the Royal Hospital for

:03:12.:03:17.

children in Glasgow. The First Minister promises to fund vital

:03:18.:03:22.

services like this hospital. She also says that tax isn't a gain,

:03:23.:03:27.

it's real money from real households, and so caution. The SNP

:03:28.:03:33.

would freeze UK tax at levels, but block UK tax cut for higher earners.

:03:34.:03:38.

They would only raise the threshold by inflation. We would increase

:03:39.:03:44.

taxes for people at a time when many are still struggling to make ends

:03:45.:03:47.

meet, but equally we don't think it is right to give a hectic tax cut to

:03:48.:03:55.

those on highest incomes. Nicola Sturgeon said she looked hard at a

:03:56.:04:01.

new tax rate, but concluded that tax earners could avoid it. She said

:04:02.:04:05.

that her scheme will raise ?1 billion over five years, but that

:04:06.:04:10.

means higher earners paying more in Scotland and elsewhere. The

:04:11.:04:17.

Conservatives say that that is wrong and that tax in Scotland should be

:04:18.:04:21.

no higher than the rest of the UK. Scotland is going to be the highest

:04:22.:04:25.

taxed part of the UK if she gets back into office. Fundamentally, I

:04:26.:04:28.

don't think we should be taxed more then the UK. The Liberal Democrats

:04:29.:04:34.

say that it will be a one in 1% increase across all rates of zero

:04:35.:04:39.

rate tax band. They said that the SNP have bottled it. It is

:04:40.:04:43.

pathetically timid. They are not going to raise a single pound extra

:04:44.:04:47.

for public services. Kezia Dugdale going to raise a single pound extra

:04:48.:04:55.

also wants to pump up tax rates. She also backs the rate for the highest

:04:56.:05:03.

earners. She wants to replace the council tax with a new property tax.

:05:04.:05:08.

They would review all Scotland's houses full stop they would be a

:05:09.:05:17.

base rate of ?450. Above that value, the charge would be not for 9%. The

:05:18.:05:22.

maximum charge in the first year would be ?3000. After that, annual

:05:23.:05:27.

increases would be capped at 3%. They would be rebates for low

:05:28.:05:35.

earners. We would base income tax on the value of your property today. It

:05:36.:05:39.

percent of people would pay less than they do today. Labour would

:05:40.:05:46.

also allow council tax to pay a levy tax. It's about what you pay, about

:05:47.:05:51.

Scottish income tax. It's about council tax and it's your choice.

:05:52.:05:58.

The parliament here has dissolved tomorrow. It's the last day, but

:05:59.:06:02.

The parliament here has dissolved even as it closes, the campaign to

:06:03.:06:05.

re-elect a new parliament begins. It will be about the economy, but above

:06:06.:06:12.

all it will be about tax. Brian Taylor, reporting Scotland.

:06:13.:06:17.

Police have confirmed that a 45-year-old woman was killed

:06:18.:06:19.

when a bus and a four-by-four vihicle crashed

:06:20.:06:21.

Four other passengers and the drivers of both vehicles

:06:22.:06:26.

are being treated in hospital for their injuries.

:06:27.:06:28.

The accident happened on the A78 north of Ardrossan.

:06:29.:06:31.

New laws to support victims of domestic abuse have been

:06:32.:06:40.

The Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm Bill

:06:41.:06:43.

is being described as a landmark piece of legislation,

:06:44.:06:45.

but falls short of creating a specific offence of

:06:46.:06:47.

Barbara, as we have called her, survived an abusive marriage. Caught

:06:48.:07:02.

in a vicious cycle of physical, emotional and psychological harm.

:07:03.:07:05.

The feeling of isolation, the feeling of being trapped, of not

:07:06.:07:11.

being in control of my own life. She says the legislation is a welcome

:07:12.:07:16.

step to helping others. It identifies the behaviours other than

:07:17.:07:23.

physical violence are unacceptable in law. Therefore, they are

:07:24.:07:29.

unacceptable to society. The new Bill will expand the law. It sets

:07:30.:07:39.

out a new specific aggravation. It will make nonconsensual sharing of

:07:40.:07:49.

private images and offence. At the end of the case, if a person is

:07:50.:07:53.

found guilty of eight case and the court is satisfied that there has

:07:54.:07:58.

been psychological or physical harm, they must state that in court and

:07:59.:08:04.

the court must take that into account in sentencing. This may fall

:08:05.:08:08.

short on creating a specific offence for domestic and try abuse, but it

:08:09.:08:14.

will make the court process more transparent. Further legislation is

:08:15.:08:18.

being considered. Charities say that the legislation is in Dott an

:08:19.:08:25.

important step, but they must acknowledge that it is more than

:08:26.:08:30.

physical. Women have been telling us for years that the worst abuse is

:08:31.:08:34.

emotional and psychological entrapment that controlling domestic

:08:35.:08:44.

abuse looks like. This new Bill will lead the way for others tackling

:08:45.:08:46.

abuse. 100-year-old laws governing burials

:08:47.:08:49.

and cremations have been modernised The legislation will require

:08:50.:08:51.

councils to retain details of services, as well as creating

:08:52.:08:54.

a legal definition of ashes. It takes forward recommendations

:08:55.:08:58.

from Lord Bonomy's inquiry into the secret disposal of baby

:08:59.:09:00.

ashes without the parents' knowledge at Mortonhall Crematorium

:09:01.:09:05.

in Edinburgh. There were further cases

:09:06.:09:08.

in Aberdeen, Fife and Glasgow. A city-region deal has been agreed

:09:09.:09:14.

for the Inverness area, which will see ?315 million worth

:09:15.:09:17.

of public money being invested in a range of projects

:09:18.:09:19.

over the next ten years. The cash will help pay

:09:20.:09:23.

for improvements to roads, telecommunications coverage

:09:24.:09:25.

and tourism schemes. It's taken two years of

:09:26.:09:39.

negotiations, but today it finally became reality, with ministers from

:09:40.:09:43.

the UK and Scottish regiments, together with Highland Council,

:09:44.:09:47.

signing an agreement which will see more than ?300 million pumped into

:09:48.:09:52.

the economy of Inverness and the wider Highlands. One high-profile

:09:53.:09:56.

scheme is to transform Inverness Castle, currently the home of the

:09:57.:10:01.

city's Sheriff Court, into a central to research action. It will mean

:10:02.:10:06.

that there is a premier tourist attraction available to terrorists.

:10:07.:10:11.

One of the issues at the moment is the dwell time. People don't stay

:10:12.:10:16.

here. If you make an attraction like the castle, it will increase the

:10:17.:10:19.

amount of money being spent in this area. It is hoped that it will help

:10:20.:10:24.

money being invested in private accounts also. This will create

:10:25.:10:32.

thousands of jobs. We want to really encourage young people who are born

:10:33.:10:36.

in this region to stay here, but then attract new young people to

:10:37.:10:40.

come and make their life this year. That will transform the economy of

:10:41.:10:44.

Inverness and the Highland region. There is to be investment also in a

:10:45.:10:56.

new research and innovation have. -- hub. I'm not a patient were men. I

:10:57.:11:05.

want us to get on with it and I want us to think about what the next

:11:06.:11:09.

thing will be, how can we attract more to do more? The ultimate hope

:11:10.:11:13.

is that all of this economic investment will persuade young

:11:14.:11:17.

people in the Highlands that there are opportunities and a reason to

:11:18.:11:22.

stay. Craig Anderson, Reporting Scotland, Inverness.

:11:23.:11:22.

It's over to Kawser now for the weather outlook.

:11:23.:11:33.

A largely cloudy night so far and that will remain through the night.

:11:34.:11:42.

In Angus there was bright sunshine today. You can see from the

:11:43.:11:48.

satellite images there is lots of cloud. We will continue to see those

:11:49.:11:53.

cloudy conditions. High pressure has been dominating our weather and will

:11:54.:11:56.

continue to do so at least for the time being. For the rest of the

:11:57.:12:01.

night, largely cloudy conditions for staff in the Borders, temperatures

:12:02.:12:05.

may dip to two or three Celsius. We are likely to see a frost tonight.

:12:06.:12:09.

Tomorrow morning, a cloudy start. There may be some damp weather for

:12:10.:12:14.

the far north-west and Northern Isles, but elsewhere largely dry and

:12:15.:12:19.

maybe brighter spells across the south-eastern corner. Tomorrow

:12:20.:12:22.

morning, dry conditions for most of us. They may be some misty and murky

:12:23.:12:27.

conditions of the hills in Aberdeenshire, Tim butchers around

:12:28.:12:32.

six or 7 degrees, so quite cool. We will see a week weather front making

:12:33.:12:39.

its way across Northern Ireland, spreading in across western parts of

:12:40.:12:44.

Scotland. Temperatures around nine or 10 degrees. Elsewhere, holding

:12:45.:12:48.

onto the dry weather, needy 30 degrees here. That week weather

:12:49.:12:54.

front would continue to make its way across. Perhaps bringing some patchy

:12:55.:12:58.

weather across Glasgow and Edinburgh to end the day. It's not to last,

:12:59.:13:04.

because there is another weather front pushing in across the west

:13:05.:13:09.

bringing some wet and windy weather for Thursday. Quite wet and windy

:13:10.:13:16.

for Thursday, especially across the Northern Isles. Temperatures around

:13:17.:13:21.

nine or 10 degrees, is appealing cool. For Good Friday, that will

:13:22.:13:25.

clear through, so largely dry conditions. The best of conditions

:13:26.:13:27.

through the east.
