Now A BBC Scotland investigation has | :00:00. | :00:14. | |

And this is his wife, Dawn. -- Noel Smith. | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
We also managed to capture on camera the latest deception tactic. The | :01:35. | :01:45. | |
transfer of adult female dogs which they will later pass off as the | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
mother. They are called show pitches. They will pass that dog off | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
as the mother. Every step we make to combat that activity, they change | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
their activity to second-guess us. Such are the profits to be made in | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
the dock trade, that the scale of some breeding businesses is now | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
causing animal welfare agencies serious concern. We filmed this | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
puppy farm in the Republic of Ireland. Inside one barn, a growing | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
room. These boxes, we are told, are illegal. Many of the puppies inside | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
are bound for the UK market. The Scottish SPCA is leading an | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
operation to tackle the trade. They are turning dog smugglers back in | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
the ports and taking those who they suspect have smuggled them into the | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
the ports and taking those who they country. And a new task force has | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
been setup target those dealing illegally with dogs. We have dogs | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
being introduced on a massive scale, an industrial scale and being sold | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
for enormous profits. Our investigations have identified a | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
number of individuals and groups who are earning hundreds of thousands of | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
pounds per year. When you take that across the whole of the UK, we are | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
looking at a multi-million pound business. It is that big? | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
Absolutely. There are growing calls for a change in animal welfare | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
legislation to further protect those who used to consider man's best | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
friend stop -- we used to. The Foreign Office has confirmed | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
that a judge in Peru has granted an order expelling Melissa Reid | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
from the country. She was jailed in 2013 | :03:40. | :03:40. | |
for attempting to smuggle cocaine to Spain, and was jailed for six | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
years and eight months. But it is understood | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
22-year-old Reid from Lenzie in East Dunbartonshire may not be | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
able to travel home until later this week, as the Peruvian prosecutor has | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
three working days to contest In Scotland, most children go at | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
five or even four, which is amongst But a group of parents | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
and educationalists has launched a national campaign to raise the age | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
at which our youngsters Letting off steam after a day in the | :04:07. | :04:24. | |
classroom. Seven-year-old Conrad, on the left, is now in primary two. His | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
parents delayed his start for a year. He just wasn't ready to sit | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
down and concentrate. The longer days are just too exhausting. Conrad | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
was nearly six when he started. He was exhausted and starting then. If | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
he was younger, I think we would have had trouble. The campaign is | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
campaigning for a play based concept. The social and emotional | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
advantages of a later start beginning to become clear. There is | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
a great deal of long-term evidence on the value of its. Again, I think | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
in Scotland we do not see it as something you take seriously. Up to | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
the age of seven, it is the most serious thing it can do. In many EU | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
countries, children are six when they start. On his start at seven, | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
and they have impressive they start. On his start at seven, | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
Here, it is five or four and a half. It can be younger. The Scottish | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Government says the curriculum for excellence encourages play and | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
active learning in the early years. Some experts say it is not just | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
about age. Yes, we can learn from other countries, but I do not think | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
we can take the full transfer of what has happened in another country | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
into Scotland. But Upstart once more debate on the issue. The Upstart | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
campaign is building a tower of evidence from around the world, | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
which supports the idea of starting education later, it says. It wants | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
us to see the educational opportunities are all around us and | :06:08. | :06:08. | |
not just in the classroom. Total's new gas processing | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
plant in Shetland has The project is part of a massive | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
investment to bring commercial gas It'll eventually provide around 8% | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
of the UK's gas demand. A new dawn for the UK's energy | :06:18. | :06:37. | |
industry. It has taken five years to build the gas plant and the offshore | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
pipelines. The cost, ?350 billion. It is a positive statement of | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
companies who are still willing to invest in the UK. Even though we are | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
going through difficult times. At lunchtime, the industry came | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
together to celebrate the achievement. It is a chance for the | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
area and the United Kingdom. It is an investment which is great for the | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
local community and the country on a whole. It is also about energy | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
security. This site could provide around 8% of the UK gas. It is a | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
major investment. The first commercial gas started flowing | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
ashore back in February. The plant is now running at full production. | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
The gas equivalent of 90,000 barrels a day are being piped ashore. That | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
can heat around 2 million homes. He fields that defeat the plant life in | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
deep waters around 80 miles off of Shetland. It has been a technical | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
challenge. We are pushing the boundaries of technology to bring | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
gas all the way from 125 kilometres west of Shetland right through the | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
British network into the UK. That is impressive. At the peak of | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
construction, more than two and a half thousand contractors were | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
working on site. Cruise ships and accommodation barges were brought to | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Shetland to house them. It has been boom times for the island. Local | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
marine engineering firms have also secured work from the project. The | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
structural steel workers, mechanical technicians. Riggers, pipefitters. | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
With nearly one fifth of the UK's mailing oil and gas reserves lying | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
to the west of Shetland, this project is seen as key to opening up | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
the region for further development. The world-famous steam locomotive, | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
Flying Scotsman, made a triumphant return to Scotland this weekend, | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
despite a controversy which almost scuppered plans for special | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
services from Edinburgh And, for the thousands who turned | :08:48. | :08:48. | |
out to line the route, Our Transport Correspondent, | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
David Miller, was on board. Engine number 601 03 stokes the | :08:56. | :09:14. | |
passions of steam enthusiasts the world over. It's not hard to see why | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
this Scotsman still has pulling power. | :09:19. | :09:40. | |
After its tours of Fife and the Borders, the locomotive's Scottish | :09:41. | :09:52. | |
bands had another chance to get up close and personal with flying | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
Scotsman today. That was here at the Heritage Railway. The history behind | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
it. Yes, nostalgia. You see the scale of it when you are right up | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
next to it. What you think of it? It is fantastic. It beats the trains we | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
these days. It can go, how many miles per hour? 134. For the man in | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
charge, it was a good day. A very good day. Flying Scotsman is an | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
icon. People have anticipated it being here and suddenly it is here. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
And you can see that by the crowds. You have been on the train you have | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
seen it. It is absolutely marvellous. The flying Scotsman is | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
now being refuelled, checked over and washed down. Ready to return to | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
the National Railway Museum in York tomorrow. We are overjoyed that the | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
powers that be decided to make it tomorrow. We are overjoyed that the | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
happen. We were really pleased for the people of Scotland that they got | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
to see the people's engine where it belongs. The warmth of the welcome | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
it has received has helped ensure it will be back. Everyone clearly loves | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
this Scotsman. -- Flying Scotsman. Let's see what the | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
weather has in store. A fairly unsettled spell of weather | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
on the way. Low pressure firmly in charge. Tonight, we hold onto mostly | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
dry conditions. Some very light rain across the far north of the country. | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Otherwise, clear spells. Perhaps some grassed frost. A fine note for | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
tomorrow morning. Plenty of brightness and fun trying. Across | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
the Northern Isles, some might patchy rain. And for the Western | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
Isles and western coastal areas, cloud thickening tomorrow morning. | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
Some rain around. Otherwise, dry and plenty of brightness and sunshine. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
Temperatures of around nine or ten. South and south-westerly winds. As | :12:08. | :12:16. | |
we go through the day, cloud will increase in the West. Heavy and | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
persistent rain following it. East, we hold onto the driest weather. 15 | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
or 16 Celsius there. Across the rest of the UK, bright and sunny spells | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
for Northern Ireland. More rain arriving here in the afternoon. Item | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
patchy rain across Wales and sat worst of England. Further east, | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
largely dry with some sunshine. For Scotland into the evening, that rain | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
continues to much sway eastwards. Item patchy in nature. A drier and | :12:54. | :13:05. | |
brighter interlude for the West. For Wednesday, low pressure as firmly | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
parked across the UK. Weather front of spiralling their way around the | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
area of low pressure. Showers and longer spells of rain especially in | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
England. For Scotland, dry and bright weather for the West. Central | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
and eastern areas will see some heavy and slow moving showers. | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
Our next update is during Breakfast at 6:25am tomorrow morning. | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
But, from everyone on the late team, goodnight. | :13:30. | :13:33. |
