murdering a Glasgow shopkeeper Tanveer Ahmed drove from Bradford | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
to Glasgow to kill Asad Shah at his shop in the Shawlands area | :01:19. | :01:27. | |
of the city. Aileen Clarke was at | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
the High Court in Glasgow. Asad Shah, a friendly local | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
shopkeeper, much loved by all of the community he served in Glasgow. In | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
person, you was chatty and upbeat, a personality that also found an | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
outlet on social media, posting his thoughts on Islam, is humanity and | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
religion. Tanveer Ahmed from Bradford became aware of some of | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
these postings on a trip to Glasgow. He believed Asad Shah was | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
disrespecting the Prophet Muhammad. He travelled back to Glasgow a few | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
days later, telling Fred, "This needs to be nipped in the bud". The | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
judge were shown CCTV footage taken from a camera behind the counter of | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
Asad Shah's shop and 90 was attacked. Ahmed is seen talking to | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
him, he stand aside to let another customer be served and then comes | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
back and continues the conversation. Reaches into his robes, pulled out a | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
knife, comes around to Mr Shah's side of the counter and start | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
stabbing him repeatedly. Mr Shah flees into the road. More CCTV | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
footage there shows him being repeatedly attacked, stabbed, | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
stamped on, punched, way beyond the point he was able to do anything to | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
defend himself. There was a huge public outpouring of shock and | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
sympathy in Glasgow in the days following the murder. He was very | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
friendly and morning we shook hands and said, "Good day, have a nice | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
day", just a person, lovely lad. Very sad, everyone is very sad. We | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
could not believe when we heard the news. Very upset and last night, | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
when we heard it. Vigil was quickly organised and very well attended but | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
the grief became all the more acute for Asad Shah's wife and family, | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
left devastated, shaken and scared. It has split the family apart since | :03:19. | :03:30. | |
the incident. Some members of the family have you they have left | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Scotland or are in the process of leaving. When the police arrived | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
that night, Mr Shah was dying on the pavement, despite the best efforts | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
of a doctor and nurse who came across the scene. Ahmed sat quietly, | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
praying in a bus stop, waiting for the police to arrest him, even | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
showing them where the knife was lying. It was clear Tanveer Ahmed | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
was motivated by his own religious beliefs but that is not an excuse to | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
conduct the actions he has. A sentiment echoed by the judge who | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
told Ahmed he was facing a very lengthy prison sentence for this | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
truly despicable and shocking crime. The shop where Mr Shah shook hands | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
with his customers and enquired about their families stays tightly | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
shuttered. His family said he can't face the prospect of running it | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
without him. Aileen Clarke, Reporting Scotland, Glasgow. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
As we've seen, the murder prompted an outpouring of grief | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
from the community in the south side of Glasgow. | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
But the killer of Asad Shah has shown no remorse. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
The court heard that Tanveer Ahmed set out purposefully | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
to carry out the murder, driving from his home in England. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
Andrew Kerr reports now on what may have motivated him. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
His report contains comments that you might find upsetting. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
The city of Bradford in West Yorkshire. Those limbs make up a | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
quarter of the population. This was home for Tanveer Ahmed, and where he | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
first heard about Asad Shah. He had moved here from Pakistan in 2001 and | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
lived with his wife and family. There was no hint of his capacity | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
for violence. Preceding the act of the crime, there was a calmness but | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
the act itself was four minutes of extreme violence, the likes of which | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
we have not seen before. This is unique event in terms of where it | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
has happened and why it has happened. So why did the religious | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
musings of a Glasgow newsagent prompt this crime? Ahmed has been | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
quite clear, in his highly unusual court statement from April. He said, | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
"Asad Shah disrespected the messenger of Islam, the Prophet | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Muhammad. Mr Shah claimed to be a prophet. If I had not done this, | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
others would and there would have been more killing and violence in | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
the world". Ahmed, who is 32, worked for the taxi firm Uber and set off | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
from Bradford on the Thursday before for the taxi firm Uber and set off | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
Easter weekend, his destination Glasgow South side. After arriving | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
here, Tanveer Ahmed stabbed Mr Shah in his shop, the punishment for what | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
he saw as blasphemy. He made no attempt to escape and was detained | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
by police at the scene. His Volkswagen remained abandoned | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
industry. Tanveer Ahmed's hard-line views do have some mainstream | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
support in his home country of Pakistan, which has some of the | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
strictest blasphemy laws in the world. Insulting the majority | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
religion of Islam can be punished by death. The BBC spoke to Tanveer | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
Ahmed's brother in Pakistan, who did not denounce his brother's actions. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Some viewers may find his remarks offensive. TRANSLATION: Our profit | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
is the last prophet but Asad Shah negated that by telling lies to | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
is the last prophet but Asad Shah everyone in a very wrong way. There | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
was no other way to stop him, until his tongue was made silent. Mr Shah | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
was and Ahmadiyya Muslim, his tongue was made silent. Mr Shah | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
sect within Islam who have faced persecution in Pakistan. Peace and | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
blessings on you. But it was his videos, posted online, that made him | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
a target for Tanveer Ahmed. He was claiming to be a profit. If someone | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
says, "I am God", you don't just go and kill the person on that ground. | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
This extreme thinking has caused this murder. Asad Shah was | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
confronted with extreme thinking and extreme violence. One man would | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
simply not tolerate the views of another. Andrew Kerr, Reporting | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
Scotland, Glasgow. Before we came on air, | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
I spoke to the BBC's I began by asking Shaima | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
Khalil about the issue It is an extremely sensitive issue | :07:41. | :07:53. | |
here, and issue that provokes a lot of violence and a lot of fear among | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
people. And the reason for that is that blasphemy, firstly, officially, | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
is a capital crime in Pakistan. Someone accused of blasphemy can | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
stand trial and possibly get the death sentence. Despite no one | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
actually having been executed for it, dozens of people were killed | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
outside court, they were killed before their cases even made it to | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
court. And the reason for that is, many people get quite provoked that | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
someone, who they see has insulted the profit and Islam, or the | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
Prophet's family in any way, take it upon themselves to defend Islam, as | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
they say, or defend the honour in the name of the profit, and as a | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
result of that, there are many cases of violence -- of the Prophet. There | :08:41. | :08:51. | |
are instances of people being killed or injured having just been used | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
blasphemy. There have been many calls the laws to be changed and | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
many people have spoken against it because they said mainly targets | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
religious minorities. But it is a very sensitive subject which is | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
often quite life-threatening to the people who talk about it. So many | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
people, especially politicians, avoid talking about it. What can you | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
tell us about the specific background to this case? To | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
understand what inspired Tanveer background to this case? To | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Ahmed to do what he did, we have do talk about a man in Pakistan who has | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
become the symbol, if you make of the kind of islands that the issue | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
of blasphemy inspires and provokes. This is a man who killed the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
governor of the Punjab province five years ago because the governor spoke | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
out against the blasphemy law and he was imprisoned for five years and | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
subsequently hanged. But too many of his supporters, they think of him, | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
still, as a hero, the man who defended the religion and the | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
Prophet. It is not just Pakistan where he enjoys support. He also | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
enjoys support in the UK. The religious leader of a mosque in | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
Glasgow, risotto, expressed regret about his execution but also Tanveer | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Ahmed himself was quite inspired, and we spoke to Mumtaz Khadri's | :10:08. | :10:16. | |
brother in Pakistan who said Tanveer Ahmed was in close contact with him | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
when you was in prison and even had dreams about him, saying that Mumtaz | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
Khadri had said he was chosen for a certain duty. According to Mumtaz | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Khadri's brother who was also in touch with Tanveer Ahmed, Ahmed was | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
very much inspired by what Mumtaz Khadri did and subsequently went | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
ahead to Glasgow and kill Asad Shah. Thank you for joining us. Shaima | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
Kalil, speaking from Islamabad. Investigations are continuing | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
into a fatal crash in Argyll yesterday, in which two | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
young children died. A car skidded off the road | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
into a loch just north of Kilmelford It was here at Loch nan Druimnean, | :10:50. | :11:03. | |
on the outskirts of the small village of Kilmelford that the | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
tragedy occurred at around 4pm yesterday afternoon. A car skidded | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
off the road and into the water, and 36-year-old woman managed to free | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
herself. Was treated in hospital in Oban and later released. But two | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
toddlers remained trapped within the vehicle. Eyewitnesses on the scene | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
shortly afterwards said they could see no sign of the submerged car and | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
a full-scale emergency operation was then launched. We just noticed a lot | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
of emergency vehicles gumming up the hill and an hour or so later, a | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
helicopter turned up, did not seem to stay long. And then they shot the | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
road, the road was blocked by the police. -- shut the road. The | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
emergency services recover the car in the early hours of this morning | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
but unfortunately, the two children were dead. Local people say that | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
this stretch of road is notoriously dangerous and there have been | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
several accidents here in the past. Yesterday's events have started this | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
village community, whose population numbers less than 200. This | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
afternoon, police named the two children as Leia McCorrisken and her | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
brother Seth and issued a plea for anyone who may have witnessed the | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
events surrounding the accident to contact them as their investigations | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
into the crash continue. Craig Anderson, Reporting Scotland, | :12:26. | :12:26. | |
Kilmelford. Survivors of child abuse met the | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
Scottish Government today and John Swinney said the remit into the | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
inquiry into historic child abuse would be reconsidered and assured | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
them it will be independent of government. It comes after the | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
resignation of the inquiry's chair earlier this week. Lisa Summers | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
reports. Right from the start, a cloud of | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
controversy has hung over this enquiry by the greeting was civil as | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
John Swinney met some of the abuse survivors and campaigners today. It | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
is fair to say that bus far, they've not been impressed. This was billed | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
as the most extensive inquiry commissioned by the Scottish | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
Government but it could also prove to be one of the most costly. No | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
budget has been set, although the government says it does have a duty | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
to ensure it does not incur any unnecessary costs. Since then, the | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
government has become increasingly under pressure over concerns about | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
its scope, limited to children abused in residential care but not | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
in use groups or judges, for example. Questions of government | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
interference and the resignation of key players. I accept that we are at | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
a difficult period of the inquiry entirely. I've worked hard this | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
afternoon with the benefit of a long amount of time with the survivor | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
community, which irony welcome, to try to address those issues and I | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
will continue to work on that to get us to a stronger position in | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
relation to the progress of the enquiry. In the main, it seems the | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
Cabinet Secretary provided assurances during today's three-hour | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
meeting. Today was the first positive meeting I've attended with | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
the Scottish Government. The inquiry now has to basically get rebooted | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
and they are seriously looking at changing the remit, including the | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
terms of reference and where we go now. A commitment to review the | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
scope of the enquiry was cautiously welcomed. -- inquiry. It's | :14:16. | :14:25. | |
upsetting. I represent a group of former Quarriers were eight people | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
were convicted, including my own former Quarriers were eight people | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
abuse and we are still seeking justice. Survivors will meet John | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Swinney again in the next three to four weeks as the government begins | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
the process of getting this troubled inquiry back on track. Lisa Summers, | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
Reporting Scotland, Edinburgh. Scottish Conservative leader, | :14:42. | :14:42. | |
Ruth Davidson, says she's backing Theresa May to be | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
the next Prime Minister. Conservative Party members | :14:45. | :14:46. | |

to go to university is not The public spending watchdog, | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
Audit Scotland, says that while more people are applying, | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
more are also being turned down. Our education correspondent | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
Jamie McIvor is here. So Jamie, is it now more | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
difficult for Scots to get Certainly, Sally, the proportion of | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
applicants who don't get offered a place has gone up from 15% in 2010, | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
to 19% last year. But that isn't the whole is Tory. The number of places | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
overall has gone up in the past few years but the number of applications | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
has gone up even faster, so by implication, more applications are | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
going to be unsuccessful. This is one of the figures in a wide-ranging | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
health check of universities by the public spending watchdog, Audit | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
Scotland. It says universities are in good shape but they face a number | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
of issues going forward and crucial amongst those is just what happens | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
to make sure that there is a sustainable way of helping more from | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
disadvantaged areas get a place which of course is one of the | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Scottish cot and's top priorities. Talking about big issues, this | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
report was written before the EU vote and universities are already | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
saying they are feeling the impact of that. Indeed, there are very big | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
worries in universities about the practical consequences of Brexit. | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
Universities say it is leading to instability and serious levels of | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
risk, not least when it comes to research funding. A significant | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
chunk of that comes from EU wide funding bodies. Whether the money | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
can be replicated or whether some means can be found of maintaining | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
these arrangements is going to be a big issue in the months and years | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
ahead. As for students from other parts of the EU, though, their | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
position does not change for now. The Scottish Goffman has made that | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
very clear. Thank you for joining us. -- Scottish Government. | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
Thousands of people are heading to the T In The Park music | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
festival in Perthshire, where music fans are busy setting up | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
Everyone hoping there is not going to be the same problems getting in | :16:55. | :17:04. | |
and out of the camp as there was last year. That's right, Sally. Last | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
year was the first time that T in the Park has held here at strath | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
Allen castle. Although the music side of things wept well, there was | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
chaos when people tried to leave on the final evening. Hundreds of | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
people were trapped for several hours, either if they were trying to | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
drive out or waiting to be picked up by family and friends. Well, a lot | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
of thought has gone into the organisation of this year's event. | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
The question is, will it be enough to make sure there is no repeat of | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
last year's scenes. 70,000-strong and looking forward to a weekend of | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
mud and music. Well, if they can beat the queues, first. This is the | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
23rd year of it. In the Park, Scotland's preeminent music | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
festival. But only the second time it has been held here in Srathallen | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
festival. But only the second time Castle in Perthshire. There were | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
serious problems last year. The traffic management plans didn't | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
work. It wasn't fit for purpose. Looking back with hindsight, the | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
first year in and communication could have been better. Those | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
returning this year are hoping for the best We are coming on the | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
Monday. The buses all came and they got jammed in. We ended up waiting | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
out here in the mud for about seven, eight hours. You have come back this | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
year Come back this year because of the other days. They were good. The | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
acts and atmospheres were good. It is worth coming to. Because you have | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
two entrances and different car parks it should be a lot better. | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
Shouldn't be a problem. The venue's new bus station is part of the | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
Shouldn't be a problem. The venue's solution. We had to create this from | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
a grass field that looks like the round about into a fully-functioning | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
almost like city centre bus station. Of course, it is not about buses, it | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
is about music and what the organisers call a party weekend, | :18:52. | :18:52. | |
like no other. Let's get all the sport | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
now, from Jane. Blustery conditions have made life | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
difficult for the players on the opening day of golf's | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Scottish Open at Castle Stuart. Gusts of up to 35mph hampering some | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
of the world's best from scoring From the course near Inverness, | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
here's Phil Goodlad. Castle Stuart in the wind is a tough | :19:13. | :19:27. | |
owe Pope epted. Blustery swirling conditions makes playing here | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
anything but plain sailing. -- opponent. | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
This South Korean showed us he was more than up to the challenge. | :19:35. | :19:43. | |
Home favourite Mark Warren also went along well early on, before | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
eventually finishing on 1-over. Despite bogeying the last, Chile's | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
Aguilar was an early-club house leader in 3-over. A man well-dressed | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
for the occasion. It is really windy. You have to be able tow swing | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
the ball with several layers on you. It is not very comfortable for us. | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
It is playing long today. I hit a 2-iron and 4-iron and barely made it | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
in front of the green. If the wind is up, the other way, sometimes you | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
play five irons into the green. So striky conditions for the opening | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
morning here and with no Scot on the leaderboard, could Russell Knox | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
change that in the afternoon? The answer was yes. Shots like this | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
helping him birdie his opening two holes. Look at this. He says he has | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
been waiting years. Finding things less straight-forward, though, | :20:46. | :20:46. | |
five-time Major champion, Phil less straight-forward, though, | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Mickelson. While it is fair to say not everybody is finding the | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
blustery conditions offputing, it has so far stopped anybody | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
dominating the leaderboard and with similar weather forecast for | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
tomorrow, that could become a familiar theme here at Castle | :21:03. | :21:03. | |
Stuart. Andy Murray's preparing to face | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
Tomas Berdych in the Wimbledon semifinal tomorrow afternoon, | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
and says he'll have to be at the top of his game if he wants | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
to make Sunday's final. 1.00pm today and already back on the | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
practice court. Well after 8 owe clockpm last night and a fab | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
five-setter against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was being settled by the | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Scot. COMMENTATOR: Murray. What a return. Tomas Berdych now blocks | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
Andy Murray's path to a third Wimbledon final. A man he knows very | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
well. We have never played on grass before, though, but he has made the | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
final here, and beaten Djokovic and Federer on the grass and he's | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
obviously playing some good entennis this week. I have only seen a little | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
bit of his match in the fourth round against Vesely which he came through | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
in four sets. He is a big guy. Hits the ball hard. I will need to be on | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
my game, for sure. At 30, tomorrow's opponent is a year older than Andy | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
miles per houry. He is the world number 9 but was once ranked fourth. | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
-- Andy Murray. His form against Murray, played | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
four, lost four. He has to be aggressive and go for the shots. He | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
has been waiting for the chance to win a Grand Slam his whole tennis | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
life. When he has a chance like this, he used to be more careful. He | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
didn't go for the shots, he didn't risk it and I think he found that | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
this is not the way to win the big title. | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
For Andy Murray, it is a case of five down, two more to g as he | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
targets another Wimbledon win. -- two more to | :22:46. | :22:46. | |
G Kheredine | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
Idessane joins us now And Kherdine, no love lost | :22:52. | :22:52. | |
between these two, if last year's Australian Open was | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
anything to go by! Yes, it got Tatsy between them in | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
Melbourne last year, even in the stands, there were some verbals from | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
the future Mrs Murray, prompting Kim to wear that famous T-shirt - | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
explicit lyrics. I think there will be more decorum in the royal box. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
Talk of the royals, the Duchess of Cambridge was here and our | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
wheelchair star Gordon Reid got to meet her and that inspired him to a | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
win today. He is through to the semifinals. He is in doubles action | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
tomorrow in that wheelchair event and be Andy Murray is in action, we | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
are expecting around about 4 owe clockpm. Thank you. And football | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
news: Aberdeen are in action | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
as we speak against Fola Esch of Luxemborg in the second leg | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
of their Europa League match. But Dons are not getting | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
things all their own way. Samir Hadji scoring just before half | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
time to give them a 1-0 Aberdeen still lead 3-2 on aggregate | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
though. And there will be more tennis | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
tomorrow night. Thank you very much. There's nothing unusual | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
about replacement buses But what about replacement trains | :24:06. | :24:06. | |
when there are no buses? That's what's happening this week | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
between two remote villages in the Southern Uplands and, | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
as Willie Johnston reports, Scotland's highest village, | :24:13. | :24:28. | |
Wanlockhead a mile away from its nearest neighbour, Headhill, people | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
travel between them for work and services but if the road is closed | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
for repairs, the detour is 50 miles. Rattling to the rescue, Clyde, a now | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
engaged locomotive which normally takes tourists from one village to | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
the other on summer weekends. It is takes tourists from one village to | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
about a mile-and-a-half in length. When they heard about the road | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
closure, the heritage railways volunteer operators stepped up to | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
the plate. We devised a timetable and recruited some volunteers from | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
the village as well. We have had a lot of passengers in the last couple | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
of days. It's been quite useful getting people that are commuting up | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
between the two villages. The seven daily round trips just the ticket | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
for passengers like Annie Gough I cook the breakfast in a hotel in | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
Ledhills, I need to get back to Wanlockhead to go to work at the Led | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
Mining Museum which is difficult when the road is closed. Heading the | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
other way is Margaret. For when the road is closed. Heading the | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
necessity, going to the doctors and to pick up prescriptions and things | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
like that. It will be used, yes and getting to work. To the museum, at | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
Wanlockhead, also. The weekday service will run only as long as the | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
road closure lasts and then it is back to weekends only. Some might | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
miss it. It gives you more time it play about on trains snoochl oh, | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
gosh, yes. That's the best bit, isn't it? | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
Let's see what we can expect from the weather. | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
Well, the beginning of the working week I thought the weather was going | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
to be changeable T stayed that way. We saw rain and dry weather. That | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
will be the case through the weekend. Here is one of our weather | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
will be the case through the watchers, who sent in this lovely | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
picture. 'S Khiam tour meteorologist. He will be 90 later | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
on this month. Happy birthday. As for as this evening is concerned, | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
fineshine to end the day for south and east but rain pushing in from | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
the Atlantic coming our way tonight. Gathering force across the West. It | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
will become persistent as it extends across the country, heavy bursts | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
anywhere but the main focus of anything heavier will be North | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
Argyll up towards Skye. Temperatures on the mild side around 10-14. A | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
fresher, strong south-westerly wind over the Western Isles and Northern | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
fresher, strong south-westerly wind Isles. A rather wet start early on | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
tomorrow, but quickly improving that. Rain pushes away into the | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
North Sea and cloud breaks up and we'll see brighter, sunny spells | :27:04. | :27:05. | |
coming through. One or two showers developing but the emphasis will be | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
on a lot of dry weather come the afternoon. For the Northern Isles, | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
some cloud but also some bright or sunny spells coming or going. We | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
could see 18 or Orkney up towards Caithness. We will see some cloud | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
lapping into the Atlantic on the westerly breeze towards western | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
coastal areas. More in the sunshine here during the day. 1 in the west. | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
The best of the sunshine in the east and highest temperatures, too, | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
widely reaching 20, even 21. We have had a lot of parents requiring about | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
it. In the Park. Not folks going there. Here is the forecast. A | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
general look. Dry warm and sunny to. Rain moving in tomorrow night. Rain | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
for a time on Saturday. Sunday showers but warm and winds will be | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
light. So a fine end to the day for Friday. Good spells of sunshine but | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
here is the weekend weather. This Atlantic low moves in tomorrow night | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
bringing outbreaks of rain and then we see this feature coming up into | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
the south, some sharp showers developing Saturday night. So it | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
the south, some sharp showers will wet across the northern half of | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
the country, that rain becoming confined to the far north-west where | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
it gets stuck. Brightening up else where. That's your forecast. | :28:13. | :28:16. |
