A former head of the SFA says footballers may in future have | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
to sign disclaimers to prevent them suing over dementia | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
It follows the news that the former Celtic player and manager | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
Tonight, Alzheimer Scotland's announced it's holding a summit | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
on the possible links between football and dementia. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
A goal that set Kilmarnock on the way to their one | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
I think he got into trouble because he shouldn't | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
Success that day secured legendary status for | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
But in recent years, David's son says another shared | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
Frank Beattie had Parkinson's and dementia. | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
Jim had Parkinson's, and my dad, who's now suffering from dementia. | :01:04. | :01:16. | |
David's suspicion centres on a particular skill. | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
In training, the heading drills, these were every day. | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
You could argue that heading the heavy ball may have | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
had some form of influence on the disease he's got. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Billy McNeill's family have similar questions. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Having revealed the former Celtic captain is suffering from dementia, | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
Scientists at Stirling University analysed heading drills and found | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
small but significant short-term changes in brain function but that, | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
We cannot make decisions on the guidelines. | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
More science is needed, a better understanding | :02:11. | :02:20. | |
of what happens to the brain when heading a ball. | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
An issue some believe could have profound consequences for the game. | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
I'd still have wanted to play the game regardless of problems, | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
They might have to have a situation where in order that people cannot be | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
once you know that it can cause damage, they might have to sign | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
a disclaimer to not sue in the future and it's | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
everyone's choice to continue as a player or not. | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
As he approaches his 81st birthday, David Sneddon's family say it's not | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
about changing the game they all love. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Today's life is about informed choices. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
If you have the information, you can choose to play | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
With the amount of money in football, I'd reckon | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
most players would say, "I'll take the chance." | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
Scotland's Chief Medical Officer wants doctors to spend more time | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
listening to patients in a bid to avoid prescribing | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Catherine Calderwood argues that quality rather than quantity of life | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Here's our health correspondent, Lisa Summers. | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
Alistair doesn't know how much time he's got left. | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
But he's determined to make the most of it. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
There's nothing worse than getting towards the end of your life | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
and realising you've wasted day after day. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
As the sun comes up, I'm looking for something | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
He's already having treatment for a series of long-term | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
conditions, but after a conversation with his consultant, he decided not | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
I didn't fancy spending three days a week in the infirmary | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
when I could be out and doing things with my family. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
I want quality of life, not length of life particularly. | :04:22. | :04:31. | |
For some, dialysis is the right course of treatment. | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
And this is what realistic medicine is about. | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
The Chief Medical Officer is asking for the best treatment for patients. | :04:43. | :04:52. | |
I think doctors are fixers, they want to help. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
I think we've overestimated the benefits of some treatments | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
and maybe underestimated the risks and perhaps underestimated | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
the burden of health care, so visits to hospital and the GP | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
surgery, blood tests, monitoring, and now we're having open | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
At Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, they're open | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Dialysis is there for those who'll benefit and they'll support | :05:10. | :05:19. | |
We're making ageing medical, and death. | :05:20. | :05:29. | |
As doctors you believe you can solve everything, | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
you start believing you can solve everything and then realise | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
you can't, and what we need to do is help patients. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
It's too brutal to say you have however many weeks or months left. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
And we don't know the answer to that. | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
But we have to be honest about where you can make a difference | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
Doctors already struggle for time with patients and the Chief Medical | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
Officer says it's not about saving money but involving | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
patients and families in decisions about their care. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Downing Street has reiterated that there should not be a second | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
It follows renewed reports that the UK Government is concerned | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Brexit could bring about a second vote in Scotland. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
And tonight that was echoed by the former | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Prime Minister Sir John Major in a speech on the impact of Brexit. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
In Scotland, I believe a hard Brexit will encourage a second | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
This may seem improbable at this moment, but it would be reckless | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
As we saw last June, emotion and national pride can | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
If Scotland were to become independent, both Scotland | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
and the whole of the United Kingdom would be diminished. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
That cannot be ignored as Brexit evolves. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
A 42-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Julie McCash and David Sorrie died following an incident in the city's | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
It's alleged Robert Stratton struck them both with knives. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
He's also charged with the attempted murder of a third person. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
He made no plea at Dundee Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody. | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
Police officers are continuing to search for a teenager | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
believed to have fallen from cliffs at Arbroath. | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
18-year-old Ralph Smith has been missing since Saturday lunchtime. | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
The number of officers policing Scotland is likely to be | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
It's one of the proposals contained in a ten-year strategy. | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson reports. | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
Good morning, we'll start off with the pairings today. | :07:40. | :07:50. | |
Officers at Stuart Street Police Station receive their briefing | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
But once on the street, it's clear policing | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Increasingly, they deal with vulnerable people rather than crime. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Keeping in touch with businesses and residents, these officers | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
are part of the problem-solving team, a new approach | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
The idea is to engage with people and tackle them as best you can. | :08:06. | :08:16. | |
We've always had that with community policing but we're not | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
responding to calls as much as we were previously and the idea | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
behind that is so we can focus on the communities we're working in. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Crime is at a 40-year low and the nature of crime is changing. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
Just one in five calls to Police Scotland results | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
It deals with 57,000 mental health incidents and 30,000 | :08:37. | :08:47. | |
missing person inquiries a year, meaning they have | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
The journey of policing in the last 30 years is from one | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
where we only police public space to one where | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
Domestic abuse and child abuse are two good examples. | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
Now, as the world is changing quickly around us, people | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
are living their life online and we need to protect | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
The number of officers is likely to fall by 2020. | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
But the body that oversees the police service says as it | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
adapts, there will still be officers on the beat. | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
This is an essential part of policing and we believe we can | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
free up officers from administrative and other tasks that prevent them | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
We think in 2026 you will still see officers in their uniforms. | :09:31. | :09:40. | |
The Government welcomes the ten-year strategy and said it's concerned | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
about the right mix of skills, not just overall numbers. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Scotland's rugby team is now fifth in the world rankings, | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
It follows the weekend win over Wales in the Six Nations. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
Scotland's rejuvenation as a force in world rugby continues. | :09:55. | :10:06. | |
Also on the up is their world ranking. | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
The win over Wales takes them from eighth up to fifth, | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
How much of this is down to their implacable coach? | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
The players are playing for him and the team have a real identity | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
We've scored seven tries, six of them from outside channels. | :10:26. | :10:35. | |
In Paris, it was created in an outside channel | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
so it's the identity of how they try to play | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
The immediate future holds games against these two, | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
They will not treat the Scots as the fodder they have often been. | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
Coming into this, I would never have thought the game I would eagerly | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
We have a real prospect of a match at Twickenham and a real | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
Some wonderful performances and great individual players. | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
Regardless of how that match goes, Murrayfield will be fall | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
Regardless of how that match goes, Murrayfield will be full | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
again in three weeks, the first time a game | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
Another reflection of the upturn in Scotland's fortunes. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
It's over to Judith now for the forecast. | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
Good evening. A reminder that we're not quite out of yet. A settling of | :11:29. | :11:38. | |
snow across Scotland, as you can see from this picture sent in earlier | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
on. The pressure reaching us and bumping into cold air, bringing more | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
in the way of snow to the south, but that has moved away. This low moves | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
away but it is a largely dry, cold night across the UK. The risk of | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
ice, so beware of the ice across the UK in the morning. That will be a | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
concern. Cold and frosty to start and there is the low making its | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
presence felt with showers of rain. Anything inland will fall as rain. A | :12:13. | :12:22. | |
cold start to the day with temperatures around freezing for | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
inland parts of Scotland. Plenty of sunshine across eastern Scotland and | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
the wind starts to pick up across the Northern Isles at -- as we head | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
through the day. The rain, sleet and snow moves eastwards. Confined to | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
the south-west come the afternoon. The low pressure sinks southwards | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
over the rest of the UK, bringing showery outbreaks of rain, but again | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
something brighter and drier later. Feeling cold everywhere and back | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
home highs of around six or 7 degrees. Looking colder than we've | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
seen of late. Plenty of sunshine to end the day and we lose the rain in | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
the south. The wind moves to the north as we go into the evening, | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
producing wintry showers across northern Scotland. Elsewhere, drive. | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
Wednesday and Thursday is shaping up with showers and a cold northerly | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
wind but a lot of dry weather on both days. A cold frost by your | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
forecast. (Whatever happens, | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
stay close to me.) MUSIC: Perfect | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
