The family of a shopkeeper killed in what police have described

as "a suspected religiously prejudiced attack," say they've been

moved beyond words by the public's response to his death.

Asad Shah, who was 40, died after being stabbed outside his

shop in Glasgow's Shawlands area, last Thursday night.

Our Home Affairs Correspondent Reevel Alderson reports.

Floral tributes to a popular member of the community. Newsagent Asad

Shah died last Thursday after being stabbed in the street near his shop.

The 40-year-old had run the business for several years and local people

were shocked by his death. His family issued a statement describing

him as one of their brightest lights. They went on...

I think, most of you are aware of the very sad incident... At the

mosque in Glasgow where he worshipped, members of his community

said that they have been trying to help his family through this

difficult time. We have been to meet them to offer our condolences and

our sympathy. His story is so sad that they have two repeat and talk

about it and it is very difficult for him. A 32-year-old Bradford man

has been charged with his murder. He will appear in court again next

week. The BBC has obtained secret video

footage of a fox hunt in the Borders, which has led

to two men being charged The law on hunting with dogs

in Scotland is under review, amid calls for the legislation

to be tightened. Our environment correspondent,

David Miller, reports. These hounds belong to one of

Scotland's ten remaining Fox packs. MSP 's voted to ban hunting with

dogs in 2002 but mounted pack still exist and insist that they hunt

within the law. The term fox hunting is a misnomer. It is illegal. There

is clear legislation. Fox control uses hounds to flush foxes to guns.

Riders would pursue foxes across the landscape and dogs would kill the

fox if found, in the past. Now, the foxes must be shot rather than

killed by the hounds. Supporters say it is a legitimate part of pest

control in our countryside. But the league against cruel sports has past

footage to as of the Jed Forest Hunt which they say shows illegal

hunting. A fox disappears but then another fox goes around. You will

see he runs in that direction. We another fox goes around. You will

were surprised to see him look back. He runs out of sight behind this

rich. Our cameraman was wondering what was going on. Then he sees a

pack of hounds chasing, again, out of sight. It goes back, the fox

comes back and into its earth. Then, about an hour later, the terrier man

is back at the hold and the hounds are waiting. There goes the fox. He

has released it. The hounds go after it. That is hunting. That is not

flushing with guns. We didn't see the fox again. We have done what we

can to check whether the footage is the fox again. We have done what we

genuine. It will be up to the courts to decide what it does and doesn't

show. Two men have been charged. The Jed Forest Hunt have said it would

be inappropriate to comment. The evidence has been passed to

be inappropriate to comment. The Scottish Government review of the

We have more on that story in a special report

It's available via the BBC Scotland news website.

Nicola Sturgeon stays she does not have the right to rule out a second

vote on independence in the next Parliament. From the Holyrood

campaign trail, here is Glen Campbell. A single ice cream but

what about an independent stubble take? A referendum rerun. The SNP

leader is not ruling it out in the next five years. Do you rule it out

for the course of the next Parliament? I don't have the right

to rule it out at all. It is down to the people of Scotland. If the

people wanted to be once in a generation or ten generations, that

is exactly what it will be. Equally, if they don't want that, then that

is exactly what it will be. Equally, is to people of Scotland. Can you

explain how that can possibly BC to be respecting the result of the

referendum? Applause in the TV debate for a conservative challenge

over a second referendum. Then the SNP leader once back. The future of

the country should be in the hands of the people of Scotland. In

Perthshire today, you will have had your referendum. The Tory leader

insisted it should be as the SNP said, a once in a generation event.

I think people are appalled that she says she is going to start a new

campaign in the summer to get is back on this again. I stand up

against this. I stand up for the no voters and the people who just want

to move on. A big minority of Labour supporters voted yes. The party

leader made her referendum clear. The answer was no and I think it

should be respected. I am ruling out a second referendum but I am

focusing on using the powers of the a second referendum but I am

Scottish Parliament to make a difference. We can do that now and

that is what the Labour Party is committed to. No need to stop these

Liberal Democrat presses. Their opposition to another vote on

leaving the UK has not changed. We don't support another referendum. We

have just had one. I think it is don't support another referendum. We

rather disrespectful when people decided that they wanted to stay

part of the UK, just as the SNP didn't like the answer, they want to

drag it open all over again. Elsewhere, in Glasgow, Nicola

Sturgeon is determined to keep our options open. Independence was

rejected in the referendum by 55% to 45%. But that yes coalition, the

45%, stuck with the party in the Westminster election securing them a

landslide. The SNP wants to keep that: coalition together. The

decision being made in five weeks' time is about the parliament that is

going to be elected at Holyrood, the decisions that MSP 's are going to

make and whether we have the boldness of heart to use the powers

at our disposal to make Scotland a better place. Health, education, and

tax and spend will dominate the debate. But the politics of

independence have not gone away. A debate. But the politics of

developing story out of last night's debate. Labour appear to have

changed tax policy. Labour wants to put 1p on all rates of income tax,

including the basic rate. The party leader Kezia Dugdale has always been

clear that she would protect those earning less than ?20,000 from

feeling the squeeze as a result of that. In the BBC debate last

Thursday she said she would do that using new powers to protect low

threshold burners. Last night when she was pressured by Nicola Sturgeon

she made reference to the raising of the personal allowance, the point at

which people qualify for the basic rate of income tax. A decision taken

by the Chancellor at Westminster. He has decided to raise the personal

allowance. Labour have decided that fixes their problem for them and

they will not go down the route of setting new thresholds at Holyrood

which might cost them revenue further up the scale. Labour's

opponents say they are all over the place but Labour insist this is the

right policy to generate new cash to help protect public services. Thank

you very much. Victims of violence

pass through the A at Glasgow Royal

Infirmary every day. But they aren't just treated

by doctors, they also meet so-called Navigators - who aim help them

to find ways to improve their lives and escape what can be

a cycle of violence. James Shaw has been to see

how it works. Checking in at the start of their

shift at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Their job title is

navigator because their role is to help people find ways out of lives

blighted by violence. As victims, perpetrators, sometimes both. When

we arrived the first place we come to is A itself. We then find out

from the staff who is here. We would find out what they they are in, pull

up a chair and invite people who might need some support. This young

woman has been at the tip with a minor injury. She had obviously been

involved in a violent incident earlier in the evening. We made her

aware that a revenge attack would not be the best idea for her own

health and the future, the repercussions of assaulting

somebody. Since the project started, many A staff have become converts.

It is one of the most important initiatives we have had in my time

in emergency medicine. We have had a revolving door process for these

patients in all my years of practice until this has happened. Now we have

something that can make a difference and pluck these people from hopeless

situations. Along side benefits for individuals are advantages for the

NHS. If NHS departments are not treating the same difficult cases

again and again. A complex head injury can cost ?30,000 to treat.

Potential savings could be significant.

Also most 30 years ago a catastrophic accident occurred

at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in northern Ukraine.

The explosion and fire killed 31 people, but some claim thousands

more have died as a result of radiation released

Our reporter Anne Lundon has been there to find out

about the continued impact of the disaster.

On entering the exclusion zone there is miles of wilderness. After 30

kilometres, you happen on a 1.5 billion euros project. This is the

new safety, Feynman which will be moved in the next year over reactor

number four. In Kiev, research on long-term health implications

continues. Victor was one of the people involved in the aftermath

clean-up. He suffered a stroke some years ago and goes three times a

year for testing. TRANSLATION: It was not until later we had to check

our radiation. We worked with enthusiasm but with no instruments

for checks. A quarter of a million people got a lifetime's radiation

dose in just three months. Only a quarter of them are alive today. A

reclassification of benefits from state to local government spending

has reduced opportunities for many people. TRANSLATION: Ukraine is

spending a lot of money in the east of the country on defence. This

could have been used to upgrade pension support for these people. As

of today, about 2 million people have suffered from Chernobyl or from

the clean-up work at the power plant in Ukraine. Within the exclusion

zone, homes lie empty. With them is the worry that those affected by the

disaster are being forgotten by the state.

And you can see more on that story on Eorpa at 8.30 tonight on BBC

Alba, it's repeated on BBC Two on Saturday at 6.

A strike at secondary schools in West Dunbartonshire has resumed,

with industrial action taking place today and tomorrow.

The stoppage is over a plan to cut the number of principal teachers

and run different school departments together as so-called faculties.

The local authority says the system is already operating

Two former top flight footballers are claiming that black coaches

aren't being given the same opportunities in Scotland

The pair hope to move into management

but say the colour of their skin is holding them back.

Here's our Senior Football Reporter, Chris McLaughlin

It's Scotland's national game. A game where results don't always

reflect popularity. But does our game at least reflect modern

Scotland? Not according to two former professional players who are

now trying to become managers. COMMENTATOR: A bit of a break here.

You look at Scotland in particular. From my knowledge, after John barns,

there hasn't been a black manager in the game. Personally, I've applied

for in Scotland at least ten jobs. I've had two responses back. I'm new

into it. I'm trying to get into it. I'm sitting my licence. But for only

to be responded to two, not even have an interview you know, there's

a real issue in that. It's something strongly disputed by the

organisation which looks after managers in Scotland. The coaches

and managers association says we don't recognise this as a problem.

Colour, creed or sexual orientation is never a consideration when clubs

appoint coaches or managers. The only consideration is ability. There

a no way to determine why so much coaches get jobs and others don't.

There's no proof of any racism within the boardrooms of Scottish

football. Given the seriousness of the claims, let's take a look at

some figures. Around 4% of Scotland's population is classed at

non-white. Of the 10,000 Scottish Football Association-registered

coaches about 6% are non-white. There are no non-white coaches in

Scotland's seniors 4 Clubs. The SFA say they've introduced diversity

coaches in a bid to attract more people to the game from ethnic

minority groups. The Scottish professional Football League say

they are committed to campaigns such as Show Racism The Red Card. I don't

want a job based on the colour of my skin. I want a job based on what a

chairman thinks I can bring to the football club.

They may have been surprised and grateful to be making

their Scotland debuts in the 1-0 win over Denmark last night,

but Kieran Tierney and John McGinn now aim to become regular members

The pair lit up Hampden Park with their performances

on a night captain Scott Brown reached another milestone

It has become a regular feature for Scott Brown leading out the team at

Hampden Park. This was his 5th cap for his country. A proud moment for

me and my family. We got a result again. It wasn't the greatest finish

to the Euros. We need to kick off. Brown had a hand in a goal with the

pass. So too did Danish captain. He allowed Richie to score his third

Scotland goal. For ground Strachan, it was his 10th 1-0 win at manager.

Good defending, good goal keeping. They are the better side. They are

at the top of their game. Result was good. What did we learn? I've a

wider spectrum of players I can pick from now. I've got a couple of young

players coming through we didn't have a couple of month's ago which

is great. Those youngsters were Kieran Tierney and Joan McGinn who

was Man of the Match. They now have a desire to be involved when the

World Cup campaign begins in the autumn. I have belief in myself. I'm

realistic as well. There's top players that are missing tonight.

They're sitting at home ready for the games in May. I have to

concentrate on what I'm doing with the club. If I get the shout, I'll

be ready. Not given it too much thought. It is a target for me. I

need to perform for Celtic. If I perform well enough, hopefully

need to perform for Celtic. If I Gordon gives me another chance. The

opposition had prays for Tierney. People on my team said this guy's

really good. I said yes, he's only 18. Good for Celtic and Scotland.

really good. I said yes, he's only Plenty for the manager to shout

about with two more friendlies to come against Italy and ferns in the

summer. He was Scotland's first undisputed

world boxing champion and is reckoned to be one of the

greatest fighters of all time. Now a touring exhibition has been

launched in his hometown of Glasgow to celebrate the achievements

of Benny Lynch. But there are calls from some

of his most devoted fans 70 years after his death, Benny

Lynch still draws a crowd. Today, looking at mementoes from his glory

days. Among the de votees, another champion. He showed everyone a wee

fella from Scotland could become champion of the world. Quite a few

have done it since. Benny is still the man. He's recognised as the best

boxer Scotland's ever produced. A tough man in tough times, Benny

boxed his way out of the poverty of Glasgow's garb else becoming

champion of the world in the mid-130s. -- 1930s. Lynch brings out

a punch, left to the solar plebs Is and down. But his fall was as

dramatic as his rise. Fighting alcoholism he retired at 25 and was

dead eight years later. Boxing fans are campaigning for a permanent

memorial. He was Scotland's first world champion on the boxing scene.

I quant' think of a world champion from Scotland even before that in

any sphere. Yes, it should be recognised. He was a man of the

people. Even if the statue isn't commissioned, Lynch's legend will

inspire local fightings. Being a fighter from here in my age group,

people compare me as the next Benny Lynch. Over the years as I've got

better and better, in the Commonwealth Games and going

professional, if I can achieve half of what he did, I'll be is a lucky

man. His career was shot but Benny Lynch still casts a long shadow over

Meet the unlikely star of a new ballet

to be performed in Edinburgh tonight.

It's creators promised a shape Pauline McLean can explain.

It's creators promised a shape shifting 21st Century magic carpet.

Diagrams of love, marriage of eyes is a collaboration between the

English artist Linder and makers at the do have cot studio in Edinburgh.

It was created for the British art show. This was not going to be a

household object which stays on the floor or the wall. The process of

constantly having to think about that this will be seen from every

angle. It will have a life of its own and a character of its own was

something that was always at the back of our minds when we were

making it. For this carpet, as well as being magical, has to move. It is

the centrepiece of a new ballet, We have the rug into the studio. She

did not behave herself. She was an eighth dancer that did what she

wanted to. She got the nickname, the diva. She choreographed us to some

degree. This performance in the space where it was made has

mid-quite a stir with tonight's show completely sold outs. 15 years on

after do have cot was revived it was a dream we would take it into this

cross-collaborative world. I never imagined we would have a dancing rug

here on the weaving floor. After the show, the carpet will be returned to

the national Galle ray of modern art where the British art show continues

until May. With more performances pencilled, this versatile carpet

will be on the move in months to come.

Now here's Andrew Kerr with details of Scotland 2016.

The new national living wage starts on Friday at ?7.20 an hour. Debate

with political parties, what that means for Scotland's employers and

employees. Also, the young Ukip candidate who's decided to leave the

party calling it be democratic. We'll hear from him and get Ukip's

response. That's at 10.30pm on BBC Two.

It was another day of sunshine and showers for many. Some showers

really potent with hail. A lovely picture from one of our weather

watchers. Tonight, still a few showers. Quite chilly conditions for

a few. You can see on the chart a line of showers courtesy of a

weather front singing southwards. Wintry over the hills. Rain for

most. Behind it, include and cold. Perhaps down to around minus 7

Celsius through some parts of southern and Caithness. Just a touch

milder in the Central Belt at 1 degrees. Tomorrow, residual showers

through the Central Belt. The focus of showers across the south-east.

Elsewhere, dry and bright with decent spells of sunshine. With

light winds if you get the sun really pleasant. 9 or 10 Celsius.

Most of the showers will be over parts of south Lanarkshire and the

borders, there is aness cham of seeing one or two light once

elsewhere. For most, a dry and bright day. The winds light for

many. Just starting to increase around the Western Isles and

Northern Isles as we head through the afternoon. For the rest of the

afternoon into the evening, still the risk of one or two showers

across the south. They go. Then largely dry and quiet overnight. All

change. As we head towards Friday a weather front arrives from the

Atlantic bringing thicker clouds, heavy rain and strengthening winds.

This is how Friday looks in western parts. Heavy. The further he east

lighter and patchy in nature. A strong southerly winds gusting to

galeforce around the west coast. Towards the weekend, that weather

front slips south of the border only to return. On Saturday, a fairly

cloudy and wet day at times. The driest, brightest weather likely

across the highly lands and islands. Elsewhere, cloudy and damp. The

winds lighter. Highs of 9 or 10. Staying unsettled through Sunday's

too. That's the forecast for now. Now, a reminder of

tonight's main news. The family of a shopkeeper killed

in what police describe as "a suspected religiously

prejudiced attack" say they've been moved beyond words by the public's

response to his death. Asad Shah died after being

stabbed outside his shop in Glasgow's Shawlands area,

last Thursday night. I'll be back with the headlines

at 8pm and the late bulletin just after

the News At Ten. Until then, from everyone on the

team, right across the country,
