We're at the Camp Nou ahead of tonight Champions' League match. | :00:52. | :01:13. | |
The way schools in Scotland are run could be set | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
The Scottish Government says it wants to give as much power | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
as possible to individual schools, and headteachers. | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
It's also planning to create new regional bodies which will work | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Between them, this means local authorities are likely to have | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
far less control over the education service. | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
In a moment we'll be talking to our education | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
correspondent Jamie McIvor, but first, let's hear from the | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
Our guiding principle for the way schools is run are simple. Decisions | :01:39. | :01:48. | |
should be taken at school level. That will be the presumption and we | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
will place it at the heart of the review. We want to empower teaches | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
to make the best decisions for children and young people. They have | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
the expertise. There will be new educational regions operating above | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
local authorities. Would the cabinet Secretary accept this looks like | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
centralisation of education? Well our education correspondent | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Jamie McIvor is at the Scottish Jamie just how radical could these | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
changes to schools be? It could be significant. Let's talk | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
about the things which John Swinney ruled out. He said there will be no | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
moves to selective education or grammar schools or formally allowing | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
schools to opt out of local authority control. But don't be put | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
off by the moderate language of John Swinney, we could be talking about | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
radical changes. Especially when it comes to the role of councils. The | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Scottish government would see this as a form of devolution to schools | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
and say that by empowering teachers they're more likely to do what is | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
best for the school and raise attainment. What is right for one | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
school may not be right for a school somewhere else. But there is a | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
school may not be right for a school question of the regional education | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
school may not be right for a school boards to encourage schools in | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
different areas to co-operate and work together. The question is what | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
role is left for local authorities? And in this review that will be | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
carried out it is going to be for councils to make the case for the | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
powers they need to retain. What sort of powers could schools and | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
head teachers get and what will it Plean for parent -- mean for | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
parents? It is up for discussion. It would be that head teachers could | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
take more decisions about what subjects should be available in a | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
particular school and about opening hours. That sort of thing may be up | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
for discussion now. With that goes the important question of just how | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
to ensure that schools remain accountable to parents and the | :04:04. | :04:04. | |
community. Thank you. A man has told a court | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
that his uncle confessed to the 1998 stabbing of restaraunt worker | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Surjit Singh Chhokar, in Wishaw. Andrew Coulter said Ronnie Coulter | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
told him what he had done the night Andrew Black reports | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
from the High Court in Glasgow. This was Andrew Coulter's second day | :04:16. | :04:30. | |
of evidence. He had said he and his uncle were involved in the theft of | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
a giro cheque belonging to Surjit Singh Chhokar. He said his uncle and | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
another man went to see Surjit Singh Chhokar in November 1998. The court | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
heard a scuffle broke out in which Andrew Coulter hit Mr Surjit Singh | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Chhokar with a bat. Andrew Coulter said later that night he was at his | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
uncle Ronny's flat. The prosecution asked how did he appear. He said, I | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
don't know, shaken. He was asked, did your uncle say anything to you, | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
he said, aye, that he had stabbed Surjit Singh Chhokar. Referring to | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
the bat, the defence QC put to it Andrew Coulter he had gone to see M | :05:21. | :05:32. | |
Chhokar. He said that he had killed Mr Chhokar. Mr Coulter said he | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
didn't and if he had he would have put his hands up to it. Ronny | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
Coulter denies murder. The trial continues. | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
The disciplinary hearing against nurse Pauline Cafferkey | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
who survived Ebola has ruled she did not act | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
'dishonestly' by allowing her temperature to be mis-recorded | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
during screening at Heathrow airport. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
But the 40-year-old nurse still faces charges of misconduct | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
Lisa Summers is at the hearing in Edinburgh. | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Lisa, what's been said about Pauline Cafferkey's actions? | :06:04. | :06:18. | |
Pauline calf ackee arrived back home and the screening room was described | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
as chaotic. Although her temperature was enough to warrant medical | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
attention, somebody in her team has had written it as being 37 degrees. | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
After that she said she was feeling unwell and had taken paracetamol. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
But when she went back to the screening area, a doctor cleared her | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
to return home to Scotland. Now, the panel here, the conduct hearing has | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
agreed she didn't act dishonestly in not declaring her attempt. But | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
representatives argued she should be found guilty of misconduct, because | :07:03. | :07:03. | |
she did put the public at risk. And what has Miss Cafferkey's | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
lawyer been saying? Her lawyer said she should have been | :07:08. | :07:17. | |
treated as a patient from the moment she arrived back at Heathrow and it | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
was up to officials to make sure the temperature checks were done | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
properly. She said despite the chaos of everything that was going on, she | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
had disclosed to medics that she was feeling unwell and had taken | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
paracetamol. She said her unblemished record demonstrates her | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
judgment was impaired because of the symptoms of Ebola. But the panel | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
have retired to consider the arguments made by both sides and the | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
hearing will continue tomorrow. Thank you. | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
Scotland is ahead of the rest of the UK in tackling | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new report from | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
But it says the reductions were largely down to the relatively | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
warm weather last winter, and adds that in some areas, | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
schemes are "largely failing to deliver." | :08:08. | :08:08. | |
Our environment correspondent Kevin Keane reports. | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
They're run on hydrogen and create no damaging emissions. But these | :08:18. | :08:26. | |
bussings are four times more expensive than conventional ones. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Aberdeen has the UK's biggest fleet of hydrogen buses, but without | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
grants, this quieter technology would not be viable. It uses an | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
energy recovery system, so as long as you're planning ahead for a | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
traffic light, I can slow the bus down, the passengers won't feel | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
anything and I pull smoothly away. This is one way of tackling | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
emissions from transport. But with just ten buses, it is a small scale | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
answer to a big problem. The report says there has been good progress in | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
deploying renewable electricity, but emission from transport are | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
unchanged from 1990 and in agriculture the changes have been | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
slow. We are aiming at cutting our emissions in the UK by 80% by 2050 | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
and the Scottish Government has taken this seriously in making its | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
contribution. What we have got to do is concentrate particularly on | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
transport, where we do have to reduce our emissions. Hydrogen | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
transport is good for vehicle emissions, but one problem is | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
getting people out of their cars and on to buses like this in the first | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
place. So ministers are being urged in the report to better promote | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
policies to achieve that aim. It is a global challenge and we are taking | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
on the challenge here in Scotland. a global challenge and we are taking | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
I'm pleased the fact that we are leading the rest of the UK has been | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
recognised, but it makes it tough to keep it going. Scotland is doing | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
better than the rest of the UK in tackling climate change, but | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
ministers acknowledge more needs to be done and a climate change plan | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
will be published over the winter. You're watching BBC | :10:27. | :10:29. | |

in the Shettleston area of Glasgow has been named. | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
He was Lennon Toland, who lived at Easterhill Place in Tollcross. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
The accident happened yesterday afternoon. | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
The child was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
The 62-year-old driver of the transit van was not injured. | :11:36. | :11:47. | |
The squeeze on Holyrood's budget is likely to dominate | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
the council elections next May, as the amount councillors have | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
to spend could be cut by as much as ?1 billion over | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
That's one of the findings of a report into Scotland's | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
It warns that MSPs face tough decisions on what can | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
no longer be afforded, while health and other | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
priorities take a larger share of the money available, | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
Our business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser, joins me now. | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
That was before the Brexit referendum made them much more | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
Economists at Strathclyde University have set | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
out their reckoning on what might happen to Holyrood's budget next | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
They've looked at the money that might be | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
with spending power falling by 4% over four years. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
At Westminster, the new Chancellor Philip Hammond says he'll 'reset' | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
the budget, due to lower growth expected. | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
than planned, Holyrood could still see a fall | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
Or if he sticks to previous plans, with lower growth, the spending cut | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
falls over the next four years by 6%. | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
Whichever way you look at it, it's a cut. | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
On balance, although the uncertainty is there, we can say with some | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
confidence about what the outlook will be for the Scottish budget over | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
the next four o' five years. It will be a tough settlement. | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
This report looks at the SNP's manifesto at the election | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
It promised to increase NHS spending, with more for childcare, | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
Together, that's more than half the budget. | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
With less available in total, that means a tighter squeeze | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
on spending that is not protected, including local councils. | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
They could see a cut of at least 10% and up to 17%, | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
when they've already seen reduced grants and years of | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
With elections in eight months, that ought to focus minds on how | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
The school budget reforms set out today by the Scottish government | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
demonstrate just how significant that change could be.And along | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
The Scottish Government will be responsible for 50% of its budget | :14:09. | :14:23. | |
with new commitments and challenges. So pulling this together the context | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
of uncertainty around the economy a fragile Scottish economy, relative | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
to where it was a couple of years ago and a transfer of new powers, | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
make it a challenging time to go through this change. | :14:39. | :14:53. | |
To get its Budget approved, the SNP has to gain support | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
There's a blame game, perhaps a rough wooing, | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
but after this warning, there have to be choices. | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
The Chancellor should support the economy, rather than undermine it | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
and in terms of Scottish Government, they will have new powers and the | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
new powers will be used in a balanced way to grow the economy and | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
deliver public service reform and protect households. The onus is on | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
the Scottish Government to have measures to grow the economy and tax | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
revenues so that public services don't fear the severe cuts they warn | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
about in this report. A lot of this depends | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
on what Philip Hammond does. His Autumn statement | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
is on November 23. Derek Mackay's draft Scottish budget | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
should be in the following month. Legislation has to be moved swiftly | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
through Parliament, with new powers coming to Holyrood with the start | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
of the financial year next April. And those council | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
elections are in May. about the shape and reach | :15:54. | :15:54. | |

Brendan Rodgers' side take on Barcelona at the Nou Camp. | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
Our senior football reporter Chris McLaughlin is there. | :19:14. | :19:25. | |
Now the last time Celtic were here in 2013, Barcelona won 6-1. Much has | :19:26. | :19:34. | |
changed since there. New players, new manager but it seems the Catalan | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
giants are looking for a similar scoreline tonight. In a city known | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
for its culture, its cathedral, and its football, Celtic are back. | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
It is the best feeling in the world. Superb. After a two-year wait. These | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
fans have that Champions' League feeling once again. For the team | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
they've come to see, it's a familiar foe. They have played Barcelona five | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
times in this competition but never won at the new camp We are at the | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
early stages working together, but what I have seen with the team since | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
I have worked with them is they have a real hunger and desire to do well | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
in every single training session in every game. We expect this will be a | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
in every single training session in very, very difficult game. But these | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
are the types of games you want to be involved in. | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
The team is scoring goals. This one of the five that helped rout Rangers | :20:36. | :20:43. | |

three good reasons why. Nemar, and Suarez and Messi make up a | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
formidable front row and this is from one who knows. A huge victory. | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
It is champion, Champions' League. The glamor. And in Europe and in the | :21:05. | :21:14. | |
war. You know I think Barca wants a little goals as possible. Worrying | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
news for the 2,000 fans that have travelled. Well, it seems they are | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
worried enough already. It'll be hard. It is Barcelona. But give it a | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
G you never know, you never know. A draw would be a bonus, honestly. We | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
all know. They are the best team on the planet we are playing tonight. | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
And when that happens, sometimes it's best, just to kick back and | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
enjoy the show. Yes, one of the many street performers here in Barcelona. | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
And Celtic need a huge performance of their own, but there is hope, | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Sally because the mighty Barcelona were defeated here at the weekend, | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
2-1 by newly-promoted side Alavez, although the journalist I spoke in | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
my piece says he thinks it might work against Barcelona. | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
The athletics season came to a close at the weekend. | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
A memorable one for 23-year-old Laura Muir. | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
She became the first Scot to win a Diamond League series. | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
But she admits she reached a low point at the Olympic Games. | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
The vet student from Glasgow University says | :22:19. | :22:19. | |
despite the challenges of life at the top of world athletics, | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
her profession will always be part of her life. | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
Rhona McLeod has been to meet her on a brief visit home. | :22:27. | :22:35. | |
From the festivities and fireworks, Laura Muir was crowned winner of the | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
Day Monday Series of race overs 1,500. A prize only claimed by the | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
elite in each discipline of athletics. At her home, it is a rare | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
visit of just 24 hours, at the end of what has been a season mostly of | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
highs, but one significant low. Yes. It has to be Rio, I'm afraid. | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
Probably the only low point of the whole season but I'm really happy I | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
ran the race, I went for that gold. COMMENTATOR: She's getting chased | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
down Laura Muir. Americans are coming as well. Had I ran the last | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
part of the race more conservatively, I think I definitely | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
could have come through from bronze to silver but I never would have | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
known could I have got gold? I would always be thinking. Look how much it | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
means, poor Laura Muir gave everything there. And then, Diamond | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
League, to win that, are you the first Scot to have won? I think so. | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
A lot of the people who win them are Olympic or world medallists, so to | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
win the overall thing at the end is surreal. I can't believe it. So you | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
are at the very top of that world and then you have another world you | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
live in. What is happening with your vet studies? I finish fourth year | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
just before Rio. I did my full-time fourth year and taking a gap year | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
next year for the World Championships before finishing my | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
fifth year. Not too many world class athletes also have a career. I think | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
it is so, so important. I never dreamed of being a fall-time | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
athlete. I need to keep my mind busy. I think it is the reason why I | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
can switch off when I'm doing busy. I think it is the reason why I | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
sessions and train so hard, because I'm not thinking about it all Dane | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
not tiring myself out, overanalysing a session, as it were. I'll keep on | :24:24. | :24:32. | |
going but I love what I do. There is little time to relax. She's now off | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
for a two week vet placement in a dog santurary. | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
Time to get the latest on the weather now. | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
Christopher we've missed out on the high temperatures | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
they've been enjoying in the south of England - | :24:44. | :24:45. | |
No. Incredible for the middle of September. | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Ask a silly question! We will see a few thunderstorms | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
developing, though, all connected with that heat. There was some | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
sunshine for us today. You can see on the satellite picture up the west | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
coast, but for most of us, this band of cloud was the order fted day with | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
outbreaks of rain moving northwards. And now our focus is on some under | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
thisry downpours developing across the north of England and likely for | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
the borders over the next few hours. Difficult conditions on the roads. | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
The yellow be aware from the Met Office. Heavy outbreaks in the | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
south-west by the end of the night most of which will have cleared | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
away. It is largely dry and mild a. Across central belt and south, | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
temperatures in the teens and quite misty and murky around North Sea | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
coasts which will drift inland throughout the night and for | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
tomorrow morning. To start the day tomorrow, a few showers across the | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
north of the Grampians pulling away. Elsewhere, largely dry but | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
elsewhere, fairly cloudy. There will be some sunshine on offer but you | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
need to be in the south-west really to see it, and here we will see | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
temperatures of a 23, 24. South Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway. | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
Further east, the borders, the Lothians, cloudy, misty and murky. | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
Across the North west, some sunshine coming through, for the Hebrides and | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
west coast, albeit with a few showers and brightness for Orkney | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
and Shetland but cooler compared with else where. The rest of the | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
afternoon into the evening, that low cloud, the mist and murk, fairly | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
extensive, as we head overnight into Thursday. That means, Thursday will | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
be a murky start for eastern Scotland, through the central part | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
of the country, some early brightness and pleasantly warm by | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
the afternoon. But you will notice in the west coast, some outbreaks of | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
rain. So a bit of a three-way split really, come Thursday. If you get | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
the sunshine, pleasant. Elsewhere, less so. Friday, the weather will | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
have cleared towards the North Sea. Hynd it, most of us into the | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
fresher, brighter conditions, probably the best of the week with | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
sunshine for many but still wet for Shetland. That's the forecast, for | :26:51. | :26:52. | |
now. Thank you. Now a reminder of the | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
main stories: Schools could be given substantial new powers under plans | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
unveiled by the Scottish Government. It wants it devolve as much power as | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
possible to individual schools and headteachers. It means local | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
authorities are likely to have far less control over education. | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
The two hosts of the Great British Bake Off, Sue Perkins | :27:15. | :27:16. | |
and Mel Giedroyc will quit the programme when it leaves the BBC | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
after the current series to go to Channel 4. | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
BBC News understands the corporation would have had to spend an extra | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
?10 million a year to keep one of its most popular programmes. | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
And that's all from Reporting Scotland. | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
I'll be back with the headlines at 8. | :27:31. | :27:31. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team - right | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
across the country - have a very good evening. | :27:37. | :27:41. |
