The Catholic Church in Scotland apologises for three decades of

:00:07.:00:13.

abuse at a boarding school, calling it bitter, shaming, and distressing.

:00:13.:00:18.

The apology follows a BBC investigation which uncovered

:00:18.:00:23.

evidence of assault by monkses at the school. Spain considers new

relieved after an exciting fourth Good evening. The Catholic Church in

:01:16.:01:20.

Scotland have apologised for three decades of abuse at a boarding

:01:20.:01:26.

school run by monks in the high land. The bishop of Aberdeen call it

:01:26.:01:30.

bitter, shaming and distressing. His apology follows a BBC

:01:30.:01:33.

investigation which uncovered evidence of fiscal violence and

:01:33.:01:37.

sexual assault by monks at the Fort Augustus Abbey School and its feeder

:01:37.:01:41.

school. Both have since closed, the cases of abuse are being

:01:41.:01:47.

investigated by the police. This report from James Shaw. The

:01:47.:01:54.

parish church at Fort Augustus where the bishop apologised today for

:01:54.:01:59.

decades of abuse suffered by boys at a boarding school run by the

:01:59.:02:04.

Benedictine order of monks It a most bitter, and distressing and shameful

:02:04.:02:13.

thing, that in this former Abbey school there were a small number of

:02:13.:02:18.

bap tied, consecrated, ordained Christian men who physically or

:02:18.:02:23.

sexually abused those in their charge. In the village of Fort

:02:23.:02:26.

Augustus people expressed their outrage, about what has happened at

:02:26.:02:31.

the school. Nothing is getting down about it.

:02:31.:02:39.

It seems to be swept under the table. The allegations stretch from

:02:39.:02:44.

the 1950s, all the way to the 90, when the school closed. Five former

:02:44.:02:52.

pupils, identify one monk in particular, who they accuse of

:02:52.:02:56.

sexual abuse including rapement more than 20 men claim abuse by at least

:02:56.:03:01.

ten monks. This former pupil says he was a victim of abuse, and has

:03:01.:03:05.

waited a long time for the church to address what happened to him

:03:05.:03:12.

I have had nearly 60 years of having to deal with this, on a daily basis.

:03:12.:03:17.

On a daily basis I have had to swallow anger and fear and regret

:03:17.:03:23.

for a lost childhood. So my reaction is the apology is thin and has only

:03:23.:03:27.

come because their have their arms up their back. One of the priests

:03:27.:03:34.

facing allegations of abuse was tracked down in Australia, by a BBC

:03:34.:03:37.

Scotland investigation's team off my property or I will call the

:03:37.:03:42.

cops. Back in Scotland, the church is still dealing with the fall out

:03:42.:03:48.

from the resignation of Cardinal Keith O'Brien who stood down after

:03:48.:03:51.

allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour towards priests. This has

:03:51.:03:57.

been a bad year for the Catholic Church in Scotland. One scandal has

:03:57.:04:01.

followed another. This autumn the church will begin publishing a full

:04:01.:04:06.

audit of sexual abuse allegations against priests. But as the bishop

:04:06.:04:13.

acknowledged today, the problems could run far deeper than that.

:04:13.:04:18.

Spain has ramped up the rhetoric over Gibraltar, warning its

:04:18.:04:22.

considering retaliatory measures in a dispute over fishing ground, the

:04:22.:04:26.

Spanish foreign might be minister say the government are considering

bringing in a fee and closing airspace to planes coming in the

:04:30.:04:34.

land this the British territory. Our political correspondent is with us

:04:34.:04:38.

now. The Foreign Office raising concerns over this, they have issued

:04:38.:04:42.

a statement It is calmer in tone. They talk about many common

:04:42.:04:47.

interests with Spain, with the UK and Spain, a strong relationship on

:04:47.:04:50.

the issue of who will control Gibraltar, the Prime Minister making

:04:50.:04:55.

it clear no compromise on sovereignty. What we have seen, over

:04:55.:05:00.

recent week, a an escalation in ten hen between Madrid and London over

:05:00.:05:03.

Gibraltar, we had the Foreign Minister saying the party is over

:05:03.:05:08.

for the people of Gibraltar, so what I think it mean means for the people

:05:08.:05:11.

more inconvenience, the threat of a charge at the border as they try to

:05:11.:05:15.

move from one country to another, perhaps some uncertainty but

:05:15.:05:20.

nonetheless on the fundamental issue over sovereignty, the UK Government

:05:20.:05:24.

clear discussions about that are not on the table.

:05:24.:05:28.

Now to Zimbabwe, where African and western countries remain at odds

:05:28.:05:32.

over what to do about Robert Mugabe's disputed election victory.

:05:32.:05:36.

Germany and Australia have joined Britain, America and the European

:05:36.:05:40.

Union in expressing concern about allegations of vote rigging, but the

:05:40.:05:43.

South African President and the African Union have urged all sides

:05:43.:05:47.

in Zimbabwe to accept the results. In Harare attention is turning to

:05:47.:05:53.

what the ruling party will do with its majority.

:05:53.:05:55.

This report contains some flash photography.

:05:55.:06:01.

The people have spoken. But no-one is celebrating here.

:06:01.:06:06.

President The result is very shocking. Unexpected results.

:06:06.:06:11.

don't have a party I am supporting because it never works in Zimbabwe.

:06:11.:06:17.

Memories of the economic collapse and hyper inflation four years ago

:06:17.:06:20.

are still... This This is what people fear, they are going to have

:06:20.:06:24.

to do a lot to reassure people that the same ZANU-PF Government that

:06:24.:06:28.

brought the economy and the country to its knees, 15 years ago is not

:06:28.:06:32.

the same ZANU-PF that will be in control now.

:06:32.:06:37.

The power-sharing Government formed in 2008 has now ended.

:06:37.:06:42.

Congratulations are pouring in, and now questions too about the conduct

:06:42.:06:47.

of the selection. So, no more unhappy power-sharing, the

:06:47.:06:51.

responsibility for repairing this country's damaged economy lies

:06:51.:06:57.

squarely with ZANU-PF. But all the coffers are empty. But

:06:57.:07:01.

should Zimbabweans be worried? don't believe so. I think that can

:07:01.:07:07.

only come I think from opponents who would like to see us fail and create

:07:07.:07:10.

this impression that we are doomed the fail economically, but that is

:07:10.:07:15.

not the case. Robert Mugabe will soon be sworn in as President. His

:07:15.:07:19.

party now holds a two thirds majority in Parliament, which will

:07:19.:07:24.

enable them to change the constitution.

:07:24.:07:28.

Zimbabwe's opposition say they will challenge the result but the

:07:28.:07:31.

country's ageing leader has proved he still has plenty of fight left in

:07:31.:07:37.

him. The classicist Mary Beard says she

:07:38.:07:42.

has received more threats on Twitter today, including one of rape. It

:07:42.:07:46.

comes as some users have taken part in a boycott of the website to

:07:46.:07:50.

protest against so-called internet trolls who send about Eboue Si and

:07:50.:07:54.

threatening messages. The United States has congratulated Hassan

:07:54.:07:58.

Rouhani on his inauguration as Iran's new President. It said it

:07:58.:08:03.

would be a willing partner to his anticipated reforms. The cleric said

:08:03.:08:09.

the people of Iran had voted yes to moderation and hope his promise to

:08:09.:08:13.

advance women's rights and freedoms and to are deuce the government's

:08:13.:08:18.

interference in people's lives. Britain's biggest bank HSBC has

:08:18.:08:22.

asked more than 40 embassies Consulates and High Commissions to

:08:22.:08:26.

close their accounts. It is part of a programme by the bank to reduce

:08:26.:08:31.

business risk following a fine by US authorities last year for failing to

:08:31.:08:37.

prevent money-laundering. Despite diplomatic community, some

:08:37.:08:42.

consuls are struggling to open a bank account. HSBC, according to the

:08:42.:08:46.

Mail on Sunday has asked almost 40 embassies and High Commissions to

:08:46.:08:50.

find another bank. HSBC said that it had been applying

:08:50.:08:54.

a rolling programme of assessments to all its businesses, and that its

:08:54.:08:57.

services for embassies were no exception.

:08:57.:09:02.

Last year, it emerges that Mexican drug cartels had been using the bank

:09:02.:09:07.

to launder money. That earned HSBC a reprimand from

:09:07.:09:13.

the US Senate, a fine of 1.3 bl. The man who should have spotted the

:09:13.:09:18.

problem terned his resignation. is the appropriate time for the bank

:09:18.:09:22.

for someone new to service the head of group cop Palestines. The Papua

:09:22.:09:26.

New Guinea is one of the diplomatic missions that HSBC has told to

:09:26.:09:30.

basically take their business elsewhere. Other Others include

:09:30.:09:33.

Benin and the Vatican, to make matters worse some of the places are

:09:33.:09:37.

struggling to find banks elsewhere that will accept them. So much so

:09:37.:09:41.

that the Foreign Office has issued a letter of introduction to help them

:09:41.:09:46.

find a new bank. But that might be causing diplomatic

:09:46.:09:51.

havoc for innocent customer, some banks will feel that is a price

:09:51.:09:54.

worth paying as they clampdown on suspected worldwide

:09:54.:10:01.

money-laundering. Now, they are faces that have helped

:10:01.:10:06.

to define generations, the various incarnations of Doctor Who. TV

viewers have cheered or perhaps peered from behind the sofa as they

regeneration. He will take over from Matt Smith who is hanging up his

:10:20.:10:25.

sonic screwdriver. Let us take you to Lizo.

:10:25.:10:30.

Yes, it has been something fans have been desperate to discover since

:10:30.:10:34.

Matt Smith announced he was leaving the show in June. And, in a first

:10:34.:10:38.

for the programme, the identity of the 12th doctor was announced live

:10:38.:10:44.

in the studio, in front of an audience of especially invited fans.

:10:44.:10:47.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is the end... The host gave the news so

:10:47.:10:52.

many have been waiting to hear. Please welcome the 12th doctor, a

:10:52.:11:02.

hero for a whole new generation. It's... Peter Capaldi.

:11:02.:11:08.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE He spoke about how he has dreamed of

:11:08.:11:11.

playing the Time Lord since childhood. Even though I am a

:11:11.:11:17.

lifelong fan I haven't played Doctor Who since I was nine, so a as an

:11:17.:11:24.

adult actor I have never worked on it. I downloaded some old scripts,

:11:24.:11:29.

from the internet and practises those in front of the mirror.

:11:29.:11:33.

Peter Capaldi will be seen as a brave choice. He is 25 years older

:11:33.:11:38.

than the current doctor, and is of course best known for a very

:11:38.:11:41.

different role, the foul mouth spin-doctor Malcolm Tucker in The

:11:41.:11:46.

Thick Of It. I have more on my plate than a spinster at a wedding. That

:11:46.:11:50.

wasn't a ref ren to to your daughter. He is a fan of the show.

:11:50.:11:57.

When he was is a the Radio Times published a letter he wrote praising

:11:57.:12:02.

the show. Then he appeared in it with David Tennant. An invitation

:12:02.:12:06.

that has taken on a greater significance, as he prepares for the

:12:06.:12:10.

challenge of taking on a part that is not like any he has played in the

:12:10.:12:14.

past and which carries a greatest weight of expectation than anything

:12:14.:12:20.

he has done before. Of course this is a busy year for

:12:20.:12:24.

the programme, celebrating its 50th anniversary then 2014, it will be

:12:24.:12:28.

Peter Capaldi's chance to take over the controls of the TARDIS.

:12:28.:12:33.

Very exciting. Thank you. And a good day at the, with all the sport as

:12:33.:12:41.

well. Good evening. Rain and bad light held up Australia's push for

:12:41.:12:47.

victory against England in the Third Ashes Test. Australia were 122 for

:12:47.:12:52.

seven and overall lead of 331 run, they have to win the match to keep

:12:52.:12:58.

the series alive. England only need a draw to retain the Ashes.

:12:58.:13:01.

Australia had two opponents, of course England stood against them,

:13:01.:13:05.

but always in the background, that nagging ticking clock, it takes time

:13:05.:13:10.

to win a Test Match. Under blue morning skies Australia needed rapid

:13:10.:13:14.

wicket, instead England attacked. This four had added significance

:13:14.:13:18.

because it cut Australia's lead to below 200. No follow on, Australia

:13:19.:13:22.

would have to worry about batting again.

:13:22.:13:28.

The crowd knew it. By the time England's innings ended, Australia

:13:28.:13:33.

were 159 ahead. David Warner took the catch and ran off to put on his

:13:33.:13:41.

pads. As drizzle danced round the ground, Warner did some legitimate

:13:41.:13:46.

big hitting. England were determined to push them back. It was cricket's

:13:46.:13:51.

sparring. For those who recall Warner's attempt to hit Joe Root

:13:51.:13:56.

there was a delicious touch to his demise. Caught in the deep by Root.

:13:56.:14:03.

Let us call it a technical knock out. Yes, hooked another one.

:14:03.:14:10.

Out of all the people on the field, it is comical now. I will wait to

:14:10.:14:15.

read Twitter later. Australia were desperate to score quickly. How long

:14:15.:14:18.

before Australia had had enough? They needed to declare to give

:14:18.:14:22.

themselves time to bowl England out again. The umpires took the decision

:14:22.:14:27.

away from the captain, to Michael Clarke's fury they said the light

:14:27.:14:32.

was unsafe to continue. Suspended play with Australia 331 ahead. The

:14:32.:14:38.

bad light turned to serious rain, and the spectators were heading one

:14:38.:14:43.

way, home? More of this on Monday and England will retain the Ashes

:14:43.:14:47.

with a damp draw. No amount of creativity will ever beat the

:14:47.:14:51.

weather. Fran Halsall has won Great Britain's
