Welcome to Wednesday's Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national

:00:16.:00:19.

news: There are calls to investigate whether former News of

:00:19.:00:22.

the World editor Andy Coulson lied during the Tommy Sheridan perjury

:00:22.:00:32.
:00:32.:00:33.

trial. A senior MP says the verdict needs to be reconsidered. I think

:00:33.:00:38.

the Sheridan trial was unsound and may need revisited.

:00:38.:00:41.

The calls come amid fresh claims over phone hacking at the newspaper.

:00:41.:00:45.

Also coming up tonight: A man who stabbed a 21 year-old cleaner to

:00:45.:00:48.

death in a random attack is found not guilty of murder by reason of

:00:48.:00:57.

insanity. Welcome to the Moray Firth where

:00:57.:01:02.

the Scottish Open is due to start tomorrow. The rain is likely to

:01:02.:01:06.

ease off a bit. And Rangers land there man - Juan

:01:06.:01:10.

Manuel Ortiz becomes Alan McCoist's first new signing.

:01:10.:01:13.

Strathclyde Police will be asked to investigate whether the former News

:01:13.:01:16.

of the World editor Andy Coulson lied during the Tommy Sheridan

:01:16.:01:20.

perjury trial. In the witness box Mr Coulson denied he knew anything

:01:20.:01:22.

about payments to police officers by the newspaper. But new

:01:22.:01:27.

revelations questioned that statement. This afternoon a senior

:01:27.:01:30.

Labour MP told the Commons that he believed the trial had been unsound.

:01:30.:01:40.
:01:40.:01:45.

Here is our correspondent, Raymond Buchanan. This was a December day

:01:45.:01:50.

when Tommy Sheridan summoned Andy Coulson to Glasgow's High Court. He

:01:50.:01:54.

was in Scotland to answer questions about his time as editor of the

:01:54.:01:59.

News of the World. He was asked if the News of the World paid corrupt

:01:59.:02:04.

police officers. Not to my knowledge was the reply. But now it

:02:04.:02:09.

has been reported that e-mail sit - - exist which suggests Mr Coulson

:02:09.:02:13.

of rows payments to police. This afternoon that this evidence was

:02:13.:02:19.

raised in the Commons. They are currently people serving prison

:02:19.:02:24.

sentences in this country, like Tommy Sheridan, that successful

:02:24.:02:29.

prosecution was based on evidence from Andy Coulson. Now it seems

:02:29.:02:33.

that the jury did not get all the emails pertinent to that case. If

:02:34.:02:37.

that is the case, surely the appropriate authorities should

:02:38.:02:42.

revisit this case and ask Mr Coulson whether this invitation --

:02:42.:02:48.

this information was withheld deliberately. I think the Sheridan

:02:48.:02:53.

trial was unsound and may need revisited. Tommy Sheridan was

:02:53.:02:58.

convicted and sentenced to three years in prison. I have fought the

:02:58.:03:02.

power of News International all my political life and I make no

:03:02.:03:07.

apologies for taking on the might of Rupert Murdoch. Tomorrow Tommy

:03:07.:03:10.

Sheridan's lawyer will call for it Strathclyde Police to investigate

:03:10.:03:15.

whether Andy Coulson committed perjury. Mr Coulson has always

:03:15.:03:20.

denied he paid Police Board approved phones to be hacked.

:03:20.:03:25.

Raymond Buchanan is outside the High Court tonight. Art Tommy

:03:25.:03:29.

Sheridan's lawyers interested only in Mr Coulson or in questioning

:03:29.:03:35.

others as well? They are interested in questioning others as well. Tom

:03:35.:03:40.

Watson and his other lawyer, both of whom you saw in my report, will

:03:40.:03:44.

be in Glasgow tomorrow where they will hold a press conference at

:03:44.:03:49.

which they say they will release new information about the contact

:03:49.:03:55.

of other News International executives, including the chief

:03:55.:03:59.

executive - Rebekah Brooks. She has been under significant pressure in

:03:59.:04:02.

recent days since it was revealed that the newspaper had hacked into

:04:02.:04:07.

the telephone of the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler. Lots of

:04:07.:04:10.

questions about phone hacking scandal and lots of questions for

:04:10.:04:14.

those who would like to see the paper punished. We will find out

:04:14.:04:21.

more tomorrow. Many thanks, Raymond. There will be more on that story

:04:21.:04:24.

tonight on the Newsnight Scotland tonight.

:04:24.:04:27.

It was a random, unprovoked and frenzied attack on the young

:04:27.:04:30.

cleaner as he made his way between jobs in the centre of Glasgow. 21

:04:30.:04:32.

year-old Michael Davis was stabbed to death by nineteen-year-old

:04:32.:04:35.

Tianhui Zhan, a paranoid schizophrenic who has come to

:04:35.:04:38.

Glasgow from Canada because he said voices had told him to. Today

:04:38.:04:48.

Tianhui Zhan was found not guilty by reason of insanity. He will be

:04:48.:04:52.

held at a maximum security psychiatric unit. Tianhui Zhan,

:04:52.:04:58.

captured on CCTV pictures, buying a knife from the lake and store in

:04:58.:05:03.

the Canning galleries. It was just days before he used it to kill this

:05:03.:05:08.

man... His 21-year-old victim was chosen completely at random.

:05:08.:05:13.

Tianhui Zhan told a psychiatrist he started seeing blood over the faces

:05:13.:05:18.

of people and was convinced they were zombies. Michael Davis was

:05:18.:05:23.

walking along West Campbell Street in the city centre. He had left one

:05:23.:05:29.

cleaning job and was on the way to another, he was on his mobile phone,

:05:29.:05:33.

minding his own business. He was completely innocent. Tianhui Zhan

:05:33.:05:39.

attacked him with the knife, stabbing him three-time. Michael

:05:39.:05:43.

Davis's and cradled her nephew in her arms. He died the next day in

:05:43.:05:49.

hospital. Tianhui Zhan carried out the attack after flying from his

:05:49.:05:53.

home in Canada and flying to Scotland after hearing voices.

:05:53.:05:59.

After stabbing Michael Davis he fled to Amsterdam. Today a jury

:05:59.:06:03.

found him not guilty of murder by reason of insanity - a verdict

:06:03.:06:07.

which has upset his family. I would not like to see another family

:06:07.:06:12.

going through what happened to us. It would be a hard thing to see

:06:12.:06:21.

anybody going through this. Especially, you boy just walking to

:06:21.:06:26.

one job from another. Then something happens. It has destroyed

:06:26.:06:34.

the family. It is hard to say that the court has let us down. This guy

:06:34.:06:41.

should have been put away for life. To me is not insane. Everything was

:06:41.:06:46.

all about him, all about 10, saying zombies and doing this and that, at

:06:47.:06:53.

total rubbish. 19-year-old Tianhui Zhan is receiving treatment at the

:06:53.:06:58.

hospital in Carstairs for paranoid schizophrenia. It is likely he will

:06:58.:07:02.

never be released. You're watching Reporting Scotland.

:07:02.:07:06.

Still to come before seven: The royal visitor - the Queen is in

:07:06.:07:09.

Larbert to open the new Forth Valley Royal Hospital. And head

:07:09.:07:12.

over heels in - we speak to Scotland's first freestyle and ski

:07:12.:07:18.

snowboard teams. In sport - we hear from the Rangers

:07:18.:07:21.

manager Alan McCoist on who he has signed and two he still hopes to

:07:21.:07:28.

sign. And an outbreak of Murray mania - but the world No. Four has

:07:28.:07:36.

some harsh words for some of his critics. All that to come.

:07:36.:07:39.

The Prime Minister has paid tribute to a young Scots soldier who was

:07:39.:07:42.

found dead with gunshot wounds 17 hours after he disappeared from his

:07:42.:07:44.

base in Afghanistan. An investigation has been launched

:07:44.:07:47.

into why 20 year-old Scott McLaren of the Royal Regiment of Scotland

:07:47.:07:56.

left a Nato checkpoint in Helmand sparking a major search operation.

:07:56.:08:01.

Highlander Scott McLaren was on the 20 years old. 12 weeks ago he was

:08:01.:08:04.

sent to serve in Afghanistan but, early on Monday morning he

:08:04.:08:10.

disappeared on his own from a NATO checkpoint in Helmand, sparking a

:08:10.:08:15.

17 hour search. He was found dead with gunshot wounds. Today the

:08:15.:08:19.

Prime Minister led the tributes. This week I witnessed at first hand

:08:19.:08:24.

the sacrifice of our soldiers. I pay tribute to their bravery and

:08:24.:08:27.

dedication of this particular soldier who was lost in such tragic

:08:27.:08:32.

circumstances. It is unclear how he was killed and why he left his post

:08:32.:08:37.

alone. One report said he left to go swimming with Afghan soldiers

:08:37.:08:41.

but the Ministry of Defence says this is speculation. Our

:08:41.:08:47.

correspondent in Kabul says new information is coming forward.

:08:47.:08:52.

footage has emerged which shows him leaving the base. He was not under

:08:52.:08:58.

duress or pressure. He does not seem to be in a distressed state

:08:58.:09:02.

but there is confusion here as to why he took that action and a hat -

:09:02.:09:07.

- why it led to his death. Private Scott McLaren grew up here in the

:09:07.:09:14.

park Keddy area of the capital. He lived with his family. -- Park head

:09:14.:09:18.

area. The family are too upset to speak at the moment but they have

:09:18.:09:22.

issued a statement saying how proud they are of their dear son. They

:09:22.:09:28.

said he loved the Army. He made many friends in the army. Family

:09:28.:09:33.

and friends will always remember him. It is less than two years

:09:33.:09:37.

since he joined the Army. In that time colleagues said he had shown

:09:37.:09:42.

it true grit and determination. A full investigation is now being

:09:42.:09:50.

carried out to establish how and why he died.

:09:50.:09:55.

The Scottish Open gets underway tomorrow at the new Castle Stuart

:09:55.:09:59.

course in Inverness. Their event is expected to give their it Highland

:09:59.:10:06.

capital a major boost. Our reporter is there this evening.

:10:06.:10:11.

It doesn't read like a Who's Who of the top flight of golf. We have

:10:11.:10:17.

Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Rory McIlroy - all he get this new

:10:17.:10:23.

course. It is winning rave reviews. People locally have taken this

:10:23.:10:30.

event to their Hearts. You cannot go anywhere in Inverness without

:10:30.:10:36.

realising this is a special week. If you cannot play like it two-

times champion Ernie Els, at least you can enjoy his wine - specially

:10:41.:10:48.

shipped 10. I would not expect to sell a lot of it. I will not be

:10:48.:10:53.

disappointed to be left with some. It represents value in that it is

:10:53.:10:58.

quite unique. They do not make a lot of it and it is not regularly

:10:58.:11:04.

seen. You were getting more than just a Gatt # Glass of wine. There

:11:04.:11:09.

has never been such an array of golfing talent. There were some

:11:10.:11:14.

raised eyebrows when the European Tour chose this course to host such

:11:14.:11:20.

a huge event. They were slightly concerned about the potential lack

:11:20.:11:25.

of spectators. That has been mitigated because advance ticket

:11:25.:11:30.

sales have been phenomenal. If the weather holds up, we could see some

:11:30.:11:37.

fantastic crowds. The whole area is getting behind this event. When the

:11:37.:11:42.

competition starts for real tomorrow, the organisers expect up

:11:42.:11:47.

to 25,000 spectators a day. This be enough for the local economy is

:11:48.:11:52.

estimated at several million pounds. There is a real buzz in Inverness.

:11:52.:11:59.

People are excited about it and everyone has got behind it. We have

:11:59.:12:04.

all the hotel owners, taxi drivers involved in this. There is real

:12:04.:12:10.

ownership which you would not get elsewhere. World No. 1 Luke Donald

:12:10.:12:14.

and the West would have already been in action in an event today. A

:12:14.:12:20.

curtain raiser of what promises to be fantastic golf.

:12:20.:12:24.

The good news is that the forecast is that the torrential rain of

:12:24.:12:28.

today should ease off. Earlier today Colin Montgomery admitted

:12:29.:12:35.

this was his last chance saloon in terms of getting a place at the

:12:35.:12:39.

Open in England next week. He is hoping for a top-five finish and

:12:39.:12:44.

there will be a big home supporters hoping that he makes it.

:12:44.:12:51.

Thank you very much. You can see what the top golfers think of the

:12:51.:12:58.

event later in sport today. New figures show the value of

Scottish exports grew. They were up two. 2% on the same time last year.

charged with wasting police time, after claims a syringe was found in

:13:27.:13:30.

baby food bought at an Asda store in Elgin. An investigation was

:13:30.:13:34.

launched after it was alleged the syringe was found in a jar bought

:13:34.:13:38.

in May. The Queen has officially opened the

:13:38.:13:41.

new Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert. Her Majesty and the Duke

:13:41.:13:44.

of Edinburgh toured the new building which is one of the most

:13:44.:13:47.

modern in Europe. The facility boasts the first robotic system in

:13:47.:13:50.

the UK to deliver supplies such as linen and food, and an automated

:13:50.:14:00.
:14:00.:14:01.

robotic pharmacy. Aileen Clarke reports.

:14:01.:14:07.

There was much excitement about a very special hospital visitor today.

:14:07.:14:12.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh meets Bath and patients before

:14:12.:14:16.

performing the official opening ceremony. The Queen stopped off at

:14:16.:14:19.

the oncology unit is chat with those having chemotherapy and other

:14:19.:14:27.

cancer treatments. It's very nice. This is one treatment you would

:14:27.:14:32.

like to remember? Yes, I will remember this one. It is not just

:14:32.:14:36.

royalty popping in that patients appreciating. It is certainly more

:14:36.:14:46.

up-to-date. It is cleaner and more efficient. The treatment is a bit

:14:46.:14:51.

quicker but it is just so lovely, it is pleasant. That is perhaps

:14:51.:14:55.

partly because staff had an input into the design of the building.

:14:55.:14:59.

When we moved to Larbert, there is more petition the areas and that

:14:59.:15:05.

has created more privacy for patients, and it creates a sense of

:15:05.:15:11.

Cammack even when the unit is quite busy and active. The hospital was

:15:11.:15:16.

pioneering the use of robots to deliver food and living around the

:15:16.:15:20.

wards, and the automated pharmacy is running too. There has been a

:15:20.:15:24.

lot of talk about all the robot sat there used in this hospital, but

:15:24.:15:30.

they are simpler ideas too. This light is inside the glass, much

:15:30.:15:35.

easier to keep clean. This may be one of Europe's modern hospitals,

:15:35.:15:39.

but the royal party were shown how old-fashioned exercise as an

:15:39.:15:46.

important part to play. The Duke of Edinburgh may take some convincing.

:15:46.:15:50.

How would you feel if everything you wrote down at work was being

:15:50.:15:53.

analysed to gauge your emotional state of mind? A Scottish company

:15:53.:15:57.

has developed software which does just that. It's attracting interest

:15:57.:16:00.

from big business who want to know how happy and motivated their staff

:16:00.:16:09.

are. Our health correspondent Eleanor Bradford reports.

:16:09.:16:13.

Many of us spend a lot of our time at work writing, but how would you

:16:13.:16:17.

feel if what you're writing was being analysed, to see how happy

:16:17.:16:22.

you are? That is what this financial company debt, to find out

:16:22.:16:27.

some basic facts about the mood of its staff. What people like about

:16:27.:16:33.

the business, what they liked about working here. What they felt we

:16:33.:16:43.
:16:43.:16:47.

could do to make it a better place to work. Interest here, optimism,

:16:47.:16:52.

gratitude. Doing the analysis was a Scottish company. Its software can

:16:52.:16:55.

quickly pick out the emotions in our e-mails, messages and even

:16:55.:17:01.

tweets. The technology trawls over all the words they say and then

:17:01.:17:05.

looks at the emotions behind them, but also says, if their emotional

:17:05.:17:14.

about something, what is it? As a new a staff member it is

:17:14.:17:19.

interesting to see. I came from a company before and my mood it was

:17:19.:17:24.

like that slide there, the worst company to be wet. This definitely

:17:24.:17:30.

has to be the best company I have been with. Maintaining happiness

:17:30.:17:34.

and well this is big business. is a really good example of a

:17:34.:17:37.

company that has developed over the last few years and has grown

:17:37.:17:41.

through a recession. This is something that companies are

:17:41.:17:45.

catching on to, and in Scottish Enterprise in particular we want

:17:45.:17:49.

companies to be on the leading edge of the new Industry, and new

:17:49.:17:56.

markets. It is not just offices that are using this technology. The

:17:56.:17:59.

military has shown potential in it for monitoring the mood of

:17:59.:18:04.

potential terrorists. Health services are looking for it to be

:18:04.:18:10.

used with mental health services. A man who wears his heart on his

:18:10.:18:13.

sleeve: David Currie has the sport. The Rangers manager Ally McCoist

:18:13.:18:17.

has made his first new signing for the club and says he expects more

:18:17.:18:21.

new arrivals at Ibrox in the coming weeks. Spanish Midfield player Juan

:18:21.:18:23.

Manuel Ortiz joined the Premier League champions just in the nick

:18:23.:18:33.
:18:33.:18:34.

of time to join them on their pre- season tour of Germany. And I do

:18:34.:18:40.

mean just a minute of time. We will ensure if Juan Manuel Ortiz

:18:40.:18:42.

with a sign for Rangers intend to make their pre-season trip to

:18:42.:18:49.

Germany. Our Cameron spotted him tried to keep a low profile. But to

:18:49.:18:53.

no of Vail, a Rangers media officer was lacking ready to cajole him

:18:53.:19:03.

into a photo opportunity. That is about the extent of his English.

:19:03.:19:10.

Luckily, his new manager has plenty to say. We're delighted, there were

:19:10.:19:14.

one or two hiccups along the road. Done and dusted, we are all pleased.

:19:14.:19:18.

Tell us about the Blair, what attracted you to him? The fact he

:19:18.:19:23.

can play a number of positions was a big thing. He runs Steven

:19:23.:19:27.

Whittaker Close, I am not sure if he can play left-back, but he can

:19:27.:19:30.

play a few possessions. He has played a number of games at the top

:19:30.:19:36.

level. McCoist revealed he still wants to sign David Goodwillie,

:19:36.:19:43.

despite having a �1 million offer turned down. I haven't given up.

:19:43.:19:47.

cash windfall of close to �1 million is heading the way of their

:19:47.:19:52.

Premier League champions, thanks to a clause in former Rangers player

:19:52.:19:56.

Charlie Adam's transferred to Liverpool. Could that be used to

:19:56.:20:01.

fund an improved offer for David Goodwillie? Something for Ally

:20:01.:20:03.

McCoist are considered during the trip to Germany.

:20:03.:20:06.

Andy Murray says he will not be taking advice from former British

:20:06.:20:09.

tennis players because he works harder than they ever did. The

:20:09.:20:11.

world number four was visiting tennis courts Paisley today ahead

:20:11.:20:15.

of his Davis Cup matches this weekend and after a bit of a scrum

:20:15.:20:25.

he hit back at his beard critics. Chris Mclaughlin reports.

:20:25.:20:31.

It was almost standing room only in Paisley this morning. Media, fans

:20:31.:20:35.

and even the police were caught in a muddy mayhem. Wimbledon may be

:20:35.:20:39.

over but the attention remains on the freshly shaven British No. 1,

:20:39.:20:45.

so what is his take from comments from former British player David

:20:45.:20:50.

Lloyd that is scruffier paeans may have affected his game. I am

:20:50.:20:55.

concentrating on working hard and not listening to what all the ex-

:20:55.:21:01.

British Blairs have to say about my game, because they know no more

:21:01.:21:07.

about tennis, and I practise much harder than the dead. Andy Murray

:21:07.:21:11.

is now a global superstar and used to the attention, but Paisley seems

:21:11.:21:16.

a little unprepared. It has been absolutely phenomenal. I could not

:21:16.:21:19.

believe how many people turned out because it was pouring with rain

:21:19.:21:24.

for most of the morning. Luckily, the rain stopped and the reception

:21:24.:21:30.

for the team has been incredible. What a be made of the Paisley

:21:30.:21:37.

welcomed? Unbelievable. Have you been surprised by the mayhem?

:21:37.:21:43.

surprised by just how many people are here. Did he expect so many

:21:43.:21:49.

people today? I don't think so. What did you make a money mania?

:21:49.:21:53.

It's fantastic. I can't believe he came to Paisley. The thing one day

:21:53.:21:59.

you may be as good as an? Yes. I still like him even if he didn't

:21:59.:22:05.

win the big Cup. No big Cup yet, but the crowds continue to follow,

:22:05.:22:08.

whether clean-shaven or not. As you may have seen earlier some

:22:08.:22:11.

of the best golfers in the world are in Inverness for the Scottish

:22:12.:22:15.

Open at Castle Stuart. It is a new venue after 15 years at Loch Lomond.

:22:15.:22:18.

The tournament starts tomorrow but it seems it is a hit already with

:22:19.:22:26.

some really big hitters. I've always felt that playing links golf

:22:26.:22:32.

and the lead-up to the it open is good. So I'm looking forward to

:22:32.:22:38.

getting that feel back. We're here head of Loch Lomond and it is

:22:38.:22:41.

amazing to think that we're not in the central belt of Scotland where

:22:41.:22:44.

the central belt is, so all credit to people for having the vision to

:22:44.:22:51.

bring it here. So please guarantee sunshine in

:22:51.:22:54.

Inverness tomorrow because I have thinking of going up.

:22:54.:22:57.

Now we're experiencing unseasonal weather so why not a story about an

:22:57.:22:59.

unseasonal sport? It has been announced that Scotland is to get

:22:59.:23:02.

its own freestyle ski and snowboard teams. But can we expect any

:23:02.:23:12.
:23:12.:23:12.

international success? I'm 19 years old from Edinburgh and

:23:13.:23:22.
:23:23.:23:28.

I'm ready to represent Great The inclusion this week a further

prospects like Murray Buchan at target to help him rise to the top

:23:50.:23:54.

slopes across the country is transforming the sport. You can ski

:23:54.:23:58.

all year and that is exactly the same. The conditions are always the

:23:58.:24:03.

same. Since you get that from the dry slope, you can get more

:24:03.:24:07.

sponsors and get more support, which means you can then go out on

to the snow. Once you're on the snow, it makes things much easier.

:24:12.:24:15.

The principle is simple. Training to complete at the top of Alpine

:24:15.:24:20.

skiing requires mountains and season-long snow. In three sell,
