That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00.:00:00.

Ronnie Coulter, convicted of stabbing to death an Indian

:00:00.:00:08.

Surjit Singh Chhokar was just 32 when he was killed in a row over

:00:09.:00:15.

His family have waited nearly 18 years

:00:16.:00:20.

It has been hard for us especially my mum and dad. This is the third

:00:21.:00:34.

trial, my dad died waiting for this trial date to come. Sadly he could

:00:35.:00:36.

not make it. We'll be looking at

:00:37.:00:37.

why it took so long. Ruth Davidson tells

:00:38.:00:39.

the Tory party conference the First Minister needs to stop

:00:40.:00:42.

picking fights with Westminster. Hibs prepare for their

Champions League match And the stars are out in St Andrews

:00:49.:00:49.

as Ronan Keating tees It's taken 18 years and three

:00:50.:00:55.

trials, but today a man was finally convicted of the murder of Indian

:00:56.:01:17.

waiter Surjit Singh Chhokar. The case resulted in wide-ranging

:01:18.:01:22.

changes to the police and prosecution service

:01:23.:01:24.

after mistakes were made by the Crown Office and there

:01:25.:01:27.

was found to be institutional racism within the police -

:01:28.:01:30.

particularly in how they dealt In a moment we'll look at why

:01:31.:01:33.

the conviction took so long to secure, but first our reporter

:01:34.:01:38.

Andrew Black reports on today's After an 18 year fight, the family

:01:39.:01:52.

of Surjit Singh Chhokar said that justice had finally been done. He

:01:53.:01:59.

was a loving son, father and brother who was lucky to have two stubborn

:02:00.:02:05.

parents refuse to be silenced as they fought for justice as a right

:02:06.:02:09.

and not a privilege. His late father always said until his very last

:02:10.:02:14.

breath, that he would have hoped for justice. Whilst the dead cannot cry

:02:15.:02:19.

out for justice, it is the duty of the living to do so for them. And

:02:20.:02:25.

that day has finally come after Ronnie Coulter was convicted of

:02:26.:02:31.

murder. Mr Chokkar was 32 when he died. He was working at this Indian

:02:32.:02:35.

restaurant and also claiming unemployment benefit. He had a flat

:02:36.:02:44.

here and Ronnie Coulter also lived in the same building. As did his

:02:45.:02:52.

nephew, Andrew. On the morning of the 4th of November 1998, Andrew

:02:53.:02:57.

Coulter, jobless and looking for cash to buy alcohol, broke into the

:02:58.:03:03.

flat of Mr Chokkar and still a giro cheque for ?100. After getting his

:03:04.:03:09.

uncle to forge the signature of Mr Chokkar he cashed it at a local post

:03:10.:03:16.

office. The partner of Mr Chokkar Elizabeth Bryce found out what had

:03:17.:03:18.

happened and threatened to call the police. It was a threat which ended

:03:19.:03:23.

in murder. Most of the time Mr Chokkar lived here with Elizabeth

:03:24.:03:31.

Bryce and on the night of the 4th of November Ronnie and Andrew Coulter

:03:32.:03:34.

and a third man, Dean Montgomerie, travelled here to meet Mr Chokkar

:03:35.:03:38.

coming home from work. There was a confrontation in the street that

:03:39.:03:41.

ended with Ronnie Coulter stabbing Mr Chokkar to death. Ronnie Coulter

:03:42.:03:47.

was tried and acquitted of murder in 1999. The following year Andrew

:03:48.:03:53.

Coulter and David Montgomerie were also found not guilty of the crime.

:03:54.:03:57.

Coulter and David Montgomerie were There was criticism of how the case

:03:58.:04:01.

was handled, one report found institutional racism within the

:04:02.:04:05.

police. Today officers said the lessons learned from the original

:04:06.:04:09.

case have vastly improved the way that things are done. We need to

:04:10.:04:13.

make sure these things never happen again. In terms of this type of

:04:14.:04:20.

dashed investigation, it is only the second case of double jeopardy. But

:04:21.:04:26.

also we need to learn how we deal with families. Ronnie Coulter once

:04:27.:04:30.

also we need to learn how we deal boasted of getting away with the

:04:31.:04:34.

perfect murder. Now he faces a life term when he is sentenced later this

:04:35.:04:35.

month. Ronnie Coulter's re-trial was only

:04:36.:04:38.

the second time that double jeopardy rules have been used to try someone

:04:39.:04:40.

previously acquitted of a crime. Our Home Affairs correspondent

:04:41.:04:44.

Reevel Alderson reports on the long journey to convict Ronnie Coulter

:04:45.:04:46.

and the toll it has taken on the family of Surjit Singh

:04:47.:04:49.

Chhokar. It has been very hard for us

:04:50.:05:03.

especially my mum and dad. This is the third trial, my dad died waiting

:05:04.:05:07.

for this trial date to come, sadly he could not make it. And he died

:05:08.:05:11.

last year in October. Almost a year before. Just over four months after

:05:12.:05:18.

his death, Ronnie Coulter was acquitted of the murder of Mr

:05:19.:05:23.

Chokkar, he had blamed his nephew Andrew and David Montgomerie. The

:05:24.:05:27.

trial judge Lord McCluskey, a former prosecutor, attacked the crime for

:05:28.:05:29.

not putting all three in the dock. He said I cannot begin to understand

:05:30.:05:33.

how it happened and shall be taking steps to see if I can discover what

:05:34.:05:37.

the reason was for the course that was taken. The Lord advocate

:05:38.:05:43.

insisted it had been correct to prosecute only Ronnie Coulter but

:05:44.:05:46.

legal experts said was a difficult decision. One reason why it was a

:05:47.:05:51.

failure was the police were criticised for not sufficiently

:05:52.:05:55.

investigating sufficiently rigorously. So this time with the

:05:56.:06:00.

passage of time there has been further police investigations and

:06:01.:06:02.

new witnesses coming forward which has allowed the conviction to be

:06:03.:06:06.

secured in this case. Two years after the murder of the other men,

:06:07.:06:10.

Andrew Coulter and David Montgomerie, were also acquitted of

:06:11.:06:13.

murder having faced a separate trial. In return they had blamed

:06:14.:06:18.

Ronnie Coulter. In 2001 a review of prosecution decisions in the case by

:06:19.:06:22.

senior Northern Ireland judge said all three men should have been

:06:23.:06:27.

indicted together. The Lord Advocate told MSP is the Crown had failed the

:06:28.:06:33.

family. The family have a genuine sense of grievance that justice has

:06:34.:06:38.

not been done. Of course no prosecution service can never

:06:39.:06:42.

guarantee a conviction. And as a society we must never expect results

:06:43.:06:46.

in individual cases. Nevertheless the fact is we did not give

:06:47.:06:50.

ourselves the best shot of prosecution. To that extent the

:06:51.:06:54.

family's grievance that justice was not done by the prosecution is well

:06:55.:07:00.

founded. It was another 14 years before Ronnie Coulter was again

:07:01.:07:03.

invited under new double jeopardy laws and today Ronnie Coulter was

:07:04.:07:06.

finally convicted despite having once more blamed his nephew and

:07:07.:07:09.

David Montgomerie for the killing. But there was no celebration for the

:07:10.:07:14.

family. It is not going to be a happy occasion for us, all we want

:07:15.:07:19.

is justice done for my brother and my family. That is all we're looking

:07:20.:07:24.

for. The person who murdered my brother, we would like to see him

:07:25.:07:28.

behind bars for the punishment he has done for his crime. That is all

:07:29.:07:34.

we want. There's no celebration, no happiness for us because we have

:07:35.:07:38.

lost a member of the family. All we are looking for is justice.

:07:39.:07:43.

The Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has warned the SNP

:07:44.:07:51.

government against picking fights with Westminster.

:07:52.:07:53.

She was speaking at her party's UK conference -

:07:54.:07:55.

immediately before the prime minister Theresa May.

:07:56.:07:57.

Our political correspondent Nick Eardley was there.

:07:58.:08:01.

She is something of a superstar at the Tory conference. Ruth Davidson

:08:02.:08:08.

used her keynote speech to say government must do more for ordinary

:08:09.:08:14.

people. She has been basking in the recent electoral success of Scottish

:08:15.:08:18.

Conservatives and told delegates what you would be urging Nicola

:08:19.:08:22.

Sturgeon to do. Instead of picking endless fights with Westminster,

:08:23.:08:27.

pick a fight with poor literacy and numerous these standards in Scottish

:08:28.:08:33.

schools. They can fight with the health chiefs. You are elected to

:08:34.:08:36.

improve the lives of people in our country. And a message on

:08:37.:08:41.

independence. You have seen Nicola Sturgeon on the television most

:08:42.:08:45.

weeks telling you Scotland is up in arms again. Threatening the break-up

:08:46.:08:49.

of Britain, asserting independence is closer now than ever before.

:08:50.:08:54.

Declaring that separation is somehow inevitable. Today speaking to people

:08:55.:09:00.

across the UK, I want to make this clear. Do not believe a word of it.

:09:01.:09:07.

Ruth Davidson has been given one of the most prominent slots are big and

:09:08.:09:10.

seven conference and although Brexit has been a key scene, there has been

:09:11.:09:15.

plenty of support for the union and opposition to another independence

:09:16.:09:19.

bill. A message that continues as Theresa May set out her vision for

:09:20.:09:24.

Britain. I will always fight to preserve our proud historic union

:09:25.:09:27.

and will never let divisive nationalists drive us apart. Nicola

:09:28.:09:34.

Sturgeon things Theresa May's vision for Brexit Britain is deeply upbeat,

:09:35.:09:39.

she branded immigration proposals hugely worrying. The Prime Minister

:09:40.:09:41.

insisted change would come but promised it would work for all. My

:09:42.:09:47.

vision is for Britain to be a great meritocracy, what I have always

:09:48.:09:50.

believed in, the cause of everything I have ever done in politics because

:09:51.:09:55.

a country based on merit and not privilege is a country that is fair.

:09:56.:10:02.

That is the message they hope will emerge from this conference. And one

:10:03.:10:05.

the Conservatives think people want to hear.

:10:06.:10:07.

Holyrood has taken the first steps towards increasing the top four

:10:08.:10:09.

The money raised will be invested in schools.

:10:10.:10:13.

Our political editor Brian Taylor joins me.

:10:14.:10:16.

Brian, it was endorsed by Holyrood's local government committee,

:10:17.:10:18.

Not without contention as you say. The greens for example wanted a

:10:19.:10:32.

full-scale revaluation of property with a more radical change to local

:10:33.:10:36.

authority finance systems. The Conservatives were unhappy that

:10:37.:10:38.

authority finance systems. The money raised locally would not stay

:10:39.:10:42.

with local authorities would be going directly to schools under this

:10:43.:10:50.

programme. But the Finance Secretary Derek Mackay took a cautious

:10:51.:10:54.

approach and said it was right and proportionate and balance. In

:10:55.:10:58.

practice this will mean that they have changed the rules, next year

:10:59.:11:03.

there will be a higher imposition on the top for council tax bands. In

:11:04.:11:14.

the top band it will cost ?570 more. And for the vast bulk of people they

:11:15.:11:18.

will not see any particular change permits Derek Mackay is many things

:11:19.:11:24.

but one thing he appears to be is a student of history. He knows a

:11:25.:11:28.

substantial overhaul of local government finance tends not to end

:11:29.:11:29.

well. Scots scientist Sir Fraser Stoddart

:11:30.:11:30.

is among three recipients of this It has been awarded for his work

:11:31.:11:33.

developing molecular machines. The machines are a thousand times

:11:34.:11:38.

thinner than a strand of hair. Sir Fraser was brought up

:11:39.:11:42.

in Midlothian and educated at Edinburgh University,

:11:43.:11:44.

where he also endows a prize He was back here in April and we had

:11:45.:11:59.

a very enjoyable ceremony and he always enjoys coming back. One of

:12:00.:12:03.

the things that came across from him is just how, what a nice individual

:12:04.:12:11.

he is. He is a very kind man. And he was inspiring, he gave a

:12:12.:12:14.

presentation to all postgrad students and researchers and they

:12:15.:12:16.

were inspired. The Scottish government's set

:12:17.:12:18.

out seven priorities They include resilience,

:12:19.:12:19.

responsiveness and adaptability. And will the fine words be met

:12:20.:12:23.

with action to cut crime and keep our communities safe

:12:24.:12:29.

at a time of financial efficiencies? Community support in West Lothian

:12:30.:12:43.

where more local policing is welcomed. I think in previous years

:12:44.:12:46.

we have seen a shift away from community policing and it is good to

:12:47.:12:48.

see it back. It is about prevention, community policing and it is good to

:12:49.:12:53.

if we have officers on the ground below the people and the community

:12:54.:12:57.

and people know them, they build up trust and that strengthens the

:12:58.:13:01.

relationship. They commit things in the bud. People know who they are

:13:02.:13:05.

and it gives them that opportunity. Judge Justice Minister the Met

:13:06.:13:13.

Police leaders to unveil seven new measures, the force is going to

:13:14.:13:17.

tackle developing threats such as cyber crime is one of community

:13:18.:13:21.

policing. The new priorities are to make sure we get the lid balance

:13:22.:13:28.

right. Local policing and also responding to new and emerging

:13:29.:13:31.

threats such as cyber crime which can be in someone's front room. But

:13:32.:13:35.

new priorities come with no new funding and there is already a

:13:36.:13:38.

period of cuts and efficiencies. We need to make the most of the money

:13:39.:13:42.

we have and spend it wisely. We can do more with what we've got. We have

:13:43.:13:46.

to make choices and that is the same in any part of the public sector. We

:13:47.:13:51.

will do that with people and not to them. To understand and agree with

:13:52.:13:58.

decisions being made. Seven promises, seven

:13:59.:13:59.

decisions being made. Seven volunteers hope that means the

:14:00.:14:01.

authorities are listening and responding to local needs.

Ronnie Coulter has been convicted of the 1988 murder of waiter

:14:09.:14:13.

Surjit Singh Chhokar after being tried for a second time

:14:14.:14:19.

following changes to Scotland's double jeopardy laws.

Hibs prepare for their Champions League match against

Construction work has begun on the new fleet of nuclear

:14:26.:14:41.

submarines which will carry the controversial

:14:42.:14:43.

Four of the Successor submarines are being built in Cumbria,

:14:44.:14:46.

but when they enter service, they'll operate from Faslane Naval

:14:47.:14:48.

Our business correspondent David Henderson is with me now.

:14:49.:14:52.

And this is part of the big investment for the Clyde. Yes, it

:14:53.:14:59.

is, the Royal Navy's next generation of nuclear submarines has been

:15:00.:15:03.

built, designed to carry Trident missiles, the UK nuclear weapons

:15:04.:15:07.

system and they will sail from the Royal Navy base on the Clyde. This

:15:08.:15:11.

is a long-term programme. The last of these subs will not be built

:15:12.:15:16.

until the 20 40s and they are designed to remain operational until

:15:17.:15:20.

around 50 years from now. Some of the technology on board will be

:15:21.:15:31.

built by companies in Scotland but the UK Government says what is most

:15:32.:15:32.

built by companies in Scotland but important is that this is part of a

:15:33.:15:35.

wider plan involving investment of half ?1 billion on the Clyde.

:15:36.:15:36.

We are investing in Faslane, all our submarines will be raised in

:15:37.:15:41.

Faslane, not just these successes brings but the astute class of which

:15:42.:15:46.

three have already been built and eventually the Trafalgar submarines

:15:47.:15:48.

that are moving from Portsmouth. Self has lain will become the base

:15:49.:15:54.

for all Britain's submarines in future. That is a

:15:55.:15:55.

The announcement was made at the Conservative Party Conference and it

:15:56.:16:06.

is highly political. No coincidence that it's happening today, there's

:16:07.:16:11.

always a lot of politics in these big announcements by the Ministry of

:16:12.:16:17.

Defence. We had this at the Tory party Conference, its just before

:16:18.:16:22.

the SNP Conference, it is sterling by big political row. We know SNP

:16:23.:16:28.

wants to scrap Trident, they say it is wrong militarily, immoral and

:16:29.:16:31.

wants to scrap Trident, they say it ridiculously expensive. The Tories

:16:32.:16:35.

say they are wrong and that Trident boosts our defence and our National

:16:36.:16:39.

security. And they stress that, once built, they will be based on the

:16:40.:16:43.

Clyde, it all means that when Scottish voters think of issues

:16:44.:16:47.

around Scottish independence that those nuclear submarines, the jobs

:16:48.:16:51.

that go with them and the sheer cost, we'll all be part of the

:16:52.:16:56.

political debate perhaps for decades to come. David, thank you.

:16:57.:16:58.

Police have released CCTV footage of missing Clydebank

:16:59.:17:00.

The 16-year-old has been missing for almost three weeks

:17:01.:17:07.

and police and his family are increasingly worried.

:17:08.:17:09.

Police have released two CCTV images of him walking through Dalmuir Park

:17:10.:17:13.

in Clydebank just before three o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday

:17:14.:17:18.

This is the last confirmed sighting of him and police are hoping others

:17:19.:17:23.

who were in the park, may remember seeing him and contact them.

An oil supply ship has been detained for a second time

:17:27.:17:29.

at Aberdeen Harbour for non-payment of seafarer's wages.

The Malaviya Seven was detained in June under

:17:32.:17:33.

Merchant Shipping regulations, but later released.

:17:34.:17:36.

The Maritime and Coastguard agency has confirmed it has been detained

:17:37.:17:39.

again and will remain in harbour until the workers are paid.

Now a look at other stories from across the country.

:17:46.:17:48.

A dog owner who admitted ordering her Staffordshire bull

terrier to attack another woman has been jailed for three years.

:17:51.:17:53.

Vickilee Galloway from Peterhead set her dog on Stacey Findlay

:17:54.:17:56.

Part of Ms Findlay's ear was torn off and a man was also attacked.

:17:57.:18:03.

The first five projects hoping to benefit

:18:04.:18:05.

for Inverness and the Highlands have been submitted.

:18:06.:18:11.

They include the redevelopment of Inverness Castle into a major

which runs for two weeks from the end of the month

:18:44.:18:45.

Themes will include medicine and health, animals

:18:46.:18:48.

We tried to work with our local community to create events tailored

:18:49.:19:01.

to suit their needs and interests. We make the event accessible so many

:19:02.:19:06.

events in community centres are free of charge and we pick themes that

:19:07.:19:09.

are important to Dundee in raising the profile of the work that happens

:19:10.:19:11.

here. Rangers midfielder Joey Barton has

:19:12.:19:12.

been charged with breaking rules relating to gambling

:19:13.:19:17.

on football matches. The 34-year-old is accused

:19:18.:19:18.

by the Scottish Football Association of placing 44 bets between 1st July

:19:19.:19:22.

and 15th September this year. The player has a week

:19:23.:19:26.

to respond to the charge. SFA rules ban players,

:19:27.:19:29.

coaches and club officials from betting on football anywhere

:20:24.:20:27.

experience of playing at that level to see where they are in relation to

:20:28.:20:34.

it and where we are as a club. Polished promotional videos tell

their own story about the opponents, women's football in Germany is

:20:39.:20:43.

thriving, successful and professional, just ask the Scot who

:20:44.:20:45.

made the switch their four years ago. This is one of the strongest

:20:46.:20:52.

leagues in Europe, I think I've said that before and I think Scottish

:20:53.:20:56.

football has definitely grown. You can see that in the way that our

:20:57.:21:00.

national team has developed and given that we've qualified for the

:21:01.:21:04.

Euro is ever the first time in history. Evidence of improvement

:21:05.:21:09.

perhaps but what of growth? According to Scottish women's

:21:10.:21:13.

football in 2014 there were 68 teams, that has now risen to 126.

:21:14.:21:19.

They say by 2020 they want that to rise further, to 431. Total players

:21:20.:21:28.

registered, over 10,000. There are so many countries playing

:21:29.:21:32.

professionally. But we need to keep our best talent here, and do more to

:21:33.:21:37.

do that, according to one experienced coach. The figure is

:21:38.:21:41.

more than 20 playing out of Scotland, in one sense it is great

:21:42.:21:44.

for the national team because those players are playing in a

:21:45.:21:47.

professional environment against the very best players. However

:21:48.:21:52.

domestically that can be problematic for our game because in essence it

:21:53.:21:56.

perhaps dilutes a bit of the quality. A balancing act in the

:21:57.:22:02.

search for success. Kris Laughlin, Reporting Scotland.

:22:03.:22:04.

Two young Scots golfers make their European Tour debuts tomorrow

:22:05.:22:07.

But as well as competing with some of the world's best players they'll

:22:08.:22:16.

be rubbing shoulders with stars of stage, screen

:22:17.:22:18.

The old course at Saint Andrews, one of the three venues in the next

:22:19.:22:30.

couple of days and game meets showbiz and where pop stars like

:22:31.:22:34.

rolling Keating play along sporting legends like Sir Ian Botham and

:22:35.:22:38.

golfers like the US Masters champion Danny Willett. But Michael Ronan

Keating. This year that two rookie Scots professionals taking part. The

:22:44.:22:48.

first is this 20-year-old from Glasgow. For the last ten years I've

:22:49.:22:53.

watched it on TV thinking I want to be there, I want to play against

:22:54.:22:57.

them. All of a sudden I am playing against them and it seems bizarre to

:22:58.:23:02.

be sitting beside them on the range. Also teeing up will be this

:23:03.:23:06.

23-year-old from East Lothian. Miz it's a big event to start your

:23:07.:23:10.

professional career on. You obviously hope to play well. Messi

:23:11.:23:13.

but the main thing is to go out and enjoy it and make the most of the

:23:14.:23:36.

experience. It is fair to say, however, there is a difference in

:23:37.:23:39.

the scale of the ambitions of our two Rockies. To be a top 50 player

:23:40.:23:42.

in the world and play on the PGA Tour and the European tour, all that

:23:43.:23:44.

stuff would be so call. Being there today is just making me hungry,

:23:45.:23:47.

making me want to be a European tour golfer full-time. I've got to school

:23:48.:23:50.

coming this year so hopefully I will walk out this season with a tour

:23:51.:23:52.

coming this year so hopefully I will card. If there are any nerves on the

:23:53.:23:54.

tee from the new boys at the Dunhill links they want to be alone.

:23:55.:23:58.

Practice and practice and get ready and as soon as you stand up and

:23:59.:24:02.

there's an audience it cripples you. That is the hardest part. If you can

:24:03.:24:06.

get over the nerves, the game is their but the nerves kill me. A

:24:07.:24:10.

decent shot but Ronan Keating will their but the nerves kill me. A

not be troubling the leading professionals in years to come but

details of Scotland 2016. Tonight Theresa May plants her tax firmly on

:24:34.:24:36.

Labour's lawn but does anyone really believe the Tories are now the party

of the working class? And after an 18 year wait for justice what

:24:44.:24:49.

lessons can be learnt from the case of Surjit Singh Chhokar? We'll be

:24:50.:24:50.

talking about that and other stories at 10:30pm. No time for the weather.

:24:51.:25:01.

A beautiful day for many, if we look at the satellite image we began with

:25:02.:25:05.

cloud and then it started thinning to allow more sunshine to end the

:25:06.:25:09.

day. The lion's share of the sunshine in the north-west, there

:25:10.:25:14.

wasn't a cloud in the sky for some areas, this beautiful weather

the evening with the strong south-easterly winds especially

:25:30.:25:32.

strong across the Galloway coast and up towards the Western Isles and the

Northern Isles, further inland, a bit lighter and more cloud across

the South and the East, here, temperatures of mine 10 degrees.

:25:43.:25:47.

Sheltered glens, where things should stick to five Celsius under clear

skies. A cloudy start tomorrow will once again the cloud will break and

:25:52.:25:55.

we will see much more sunshine developing especially by afternoon.

:25:56.:26:00.

The best of which again across the north-west of the country. The wins

will use a little. A lot of sunshine over Shetland, the wind still fresh

:26:06.:26:09.

for Orkney and the coast but elsewhere towards the north-west

:26:10.:26:15.

temperatures could reach 16 or 17 degrees a game. Elsewhere, 14

:26:16.:26:21.

Celsius as our hi, maybe 15 for Dumfries and Galloway. All this fine

:26:22.:26:26.

and it will be for the weekend as well, keeping areas of low pressure

weather systems at bay in the Atlantic. Although the winds become

:26:35.:26:37.

more easterly by Friday and we may see some show was coming through. So

:26:38.:26:44.

for Friday showers will be light, isolated, maybe towards the east and

:26:45.:26:49.

the best sunshine in the West again. 12-13d. Through the weekend it will

:26:50.:26:54.

stay fine and settled, a few showers and turning a little cooler. That's

:26:55.:26:56.

the forecast. Thank you. Record has been convicted
