:03:29. > :03:34.If there has been a breach of the law in Scotland, or whether or not
:03:34. > :03:38.that was sourced by investigators in London, I do not think that
:03:38. > :03:42.matters. If there has a been a breach of the law in Scotland, it
:03:42. > :03:46.should be investigated by the Scottish police and people will be

:04:30. > :04:33.boorish -- a categorical assurance that the medical records were not
:04:33. > :04:38.accessed in any way by the newspaper. They say they discussed
:04:38. > :04:47.it with Mr colleague -- Mr Brown and colleagues and that there was
:04:47. > :04:51.no complaint at the time. They say they did not request -- they say
:04:51. > :04:56.they implore Mr Brown to give them more allegations -- more
:04:56. > :05:00.information about the allegations that he is making. With regards to
:05:00. > :05:09.the Sunday Times, they say they did nothing wrong and they say Mr Brown
:05:09. > :05:13.is wrong when he says that criminal activity has taken place.

:05:17. > :05:22.few days. As things unfold, no one is coming out of this well, are
:05:22. > :05:26.they? There is an old phrase that a week is a long time in politics.
:05:26. > :05:31.This has been an extraordinary seven days. We have allegations
:05:31. > :05:36.coming a day by day. In journalistic terms, this story is
:05:36. > :05:40.continuing to give, it is every day that we have new revelations about
:05:40. > :05:44.antics of certain sections of the press which most of us would not
:05:44. > :05:48.have believed. As they say, this story is going to run and run.
:05:48. > :05:54.Tomorrow we will have a bigger boat at Westminster. The story is not
:05:55. > :05:57.going away. -- a big vote. The body of Scots are just Scott

:08:28. > :08:34.asked them to come back till our little town in happier
:08:34. > :08:38.circumstances. It is a really bad day for them. I feel for them. They
:08:38. > :08:41.did that say that coming down here and seeing all of the people turn
:08:41. > :08:47.out, it meant a lot to them and it helped them with the grieving

:09:31. > :09:34.industry faces a shake up but how much or will it cost us? The

:09:37. > :09:41.in Edinburgh talk about the impact of his death.

:09:57. > :10:01.There is good news and there is bad news for electricity customers
:10:01. > :10:05.tonight. There is going to be a radical shake-up of the industry
:10:05. > :10:09.which should avoid huge increases in electricity prices in the future.
:10:09. > :10:12.The bad news it will cost billions and it is going to be added to our
:10:13. > :10:20.bills. Our environment correspondent looks at what the
:10:20. > :10:25.plans mean for Scotland. We all rely on it, now we have all
:10:25. > :10:29.got to pay more for it. Britain's electricity industry is facing a
:10:29. > :10:34.revolution. In the next decade, a quarter of the UK's generating
:10:34. > :10:38.capacity will be lost as old power stations are closed. Meanwhile,
:10:38. > :10:43.demand could double before the middle of the century. That means
:10:43. > :10:47.that the UK's government has got a big problem. It has to find
:10:47. > :10:51.billions of pounds of investment to pay for new power stations and to
:10:51. > :10:55.develop the country's renewable energy sector. The UK government
:10:55. > :10:59.says that Britain must protect itself from massive price hikes,
:10:59. > :11:03.triggered by volatility on the international oil and gas markets.
:11:03. > :11:09.The sensible approach is to get the insurance in their, protect
:11:09. > :11:13.ourselves, as an economy, as a people, to give ourselves the
:11:13. > :11:17.security to keep the bills down and the lights on. The winds of change
:11:17. > :11:22.may be growing but massive investment in renewable energy and
:11:22. > :11:29.a new power stations will come at a cost. There has not been, as far as
:11:29. > :11:33.we are concerned, enough focus on consumers' bills. It is something
:11:33. > :11:38.that we need to move towards but we cannot do it without taking
:11:38. > :11:42.consumers with us. Bills are likely to rise by an average of �160. It
:11:42. > :11:46.is estimated that doing nothing would add �200 to bills. The
:11:46. > :11:52.Scottish Government is adamant. Renewable energy is the best way
:11:52. > :11:56.forward. Nobody who has seen the energy price rises as a result of
:11:56. > :12:01.fossil fuel price increases can be in any doubt that the way forward
:12:01. > :12:05.is renewables. The bottom line, we are all going to pay more for
:12:05. > :12:08.Britain's electricity revolution but we are told we have no
:12:08. > :12:18.alternative if Scotland and the rest of the UK is to keep the
:12:18. > :12:21.Cases of sexually transmitted infections have tripled in a decade
:12:21. > :12:26.according to Scottish Government figures attained by the
:12:27. > :12:31.Conservative Party. The sharpest increase showed that play Medea
:12:31. > :12:35.diagnoses rose from 5000 to 18,000. The number of cases of syphilis and
:12:35. > :12:45.gonorrhoea have also risen it substantially. The number of HIV
:12:45. > :12:46.
:12:46. > :12:49.There's rarely been a better time to buy a home, according to some
:12:49. > :12:52.experts. Scotland's surveyors say June has been the quietest month of
:12:52. > :12:55.the year, as demand in the housing market all but disappeared. But the
:12:55. > :13:01.number of people trying to sell their homes remains high - which
:13:01. > :13:07.means there are bargains out there. Aileen Clarke's been taking a look.
:13:07. > :13:09.The signs are up but there are few buyers. At the latest report from
:13:09. > :13:15.Scotland's Surveyors says that traditional a dip in the Scottish
:13:15. > :13:19.housing market started earlier this year. A number of people are
:13:19. > :13:25.resigned to tightening their belts. There are fewer sellers and more
:13:25. > :13:30.buyers, and we have a situation where property prices may have to
:13:30. > :13:35.readjust accordingly. This top- floor flat in Glasgow's West End
:13:35. > :13:39.has been on the market is the beginning of May. The seller has
:13:39. > :13:44.made sure it looks the part, but after a flurry of activity, June
:13:44. > :13:48.was quieter. You can prepare the house, get it looking as nice as
:13:48. > :13:51.you can possibly make it, but at the end of the day you need that
:13:51. > :14:00.one viewer who will fall in love with the property. You cannot force
:14:00. > :14:04.that. Fingers crossed? Were the little nerve-racking, a
:14:04. > :14:09.housing market like this can be a bonus for first-time buyers. At
:14:10. > :14:14.this estate agents, they describe it as a more stable market. It is
:14:14. > :14:19.more predictable. If you are trading up, you could be better off.
:14:19. > :14:24.Once you realise where the market is, and you have achieved a fair
:14:24. > :14:28.price for your house, the next step is not as large as it once was.
:14:28. > :14:31.you sell your house now, you may not make as much money as three of
:14:31. > :14:36.four years ago, but you may not have to pay out as much for your
:14:36. > :14:40.next property. What you lose on the swings, you may gain on the
:14:40. > :14:42.roundabouts. Some of the other stories across
:14:42. > :14:44.Scotland this Tuesday: Tonight BBC's Crimewatch programme
:14:44. > :14:49.will reconstruct the last-known movements of a Greenock teenager
:14:49. > :14:52.who went missing 25 years ago after attending a disco in the town. 16-
:14:52. > :14:57.year-old Elaine Doyle was last seen saying goodbye to friends, just
:14:57. > :15:00.after midnight on Monday 2nd June, 1986.
:15:00. > :15:03.Scottish food exports have passed the billion pound mark for the
:15:03. > :15:07.first time. Salmon and potatoes were the major success story in
:15:07. > :15:10.figures for last year compiled by HM Revenue and Customs. The wider
:15:10. > :15:18.food and drink market continues to be dominated by whisky, with

:15:28. > :15:31.Parliament to raise money and awareness of the victims of crime.
:15:31. > :15:38.Webster was jailed for a minimum of 30 years last week for killing his
:15:38. > :15:41.wife Claire Morris. Two years ago, Ewan Williamson
:15:41. > :15:44.became the first firefighter in the history of Lothian and Borders Fire
:15:44. > :15:46.and Rescue to be killed as he tackled a fire. Yet, despite
:15:46. > :15:52.several investigations, his colleagues still don't know how the
:15:52. > :16:01.35-year-old lost his life. They've been speaking to Gavin Walker about
:16:01. > :16:04.the impact Ewan's death still has on them.
:16:04. > :16:10.It's been hundreds of days since the firefighter Ewan Williamson
:16:10. > :16:14.lost his life. At the Tollcross fire station, he is far from
:16:14. > :16:19.forgotten. There is a brass plaque on the wall with an image of his
:16:19. > :16:25.face which is a lasting reminder. Everyone who attends that station
:16:25. > :16:31.will pass that. It is a reminder of his presence and impact. It is
:16:31. > :16:37.poignant to pass him on the way out. He is still a part of his, and it
:16:37. > :16:42.is like he is coming with us. has been exactly two years since he
:16:42. > :16:47.lost his life trying to save others in a fire. His colleagues have yet
:16:47. > :16:52.to speak publicly about his death, until now. I think at the end of
:16:52. > :16:58.the shift we were on a state of disbelief. Being in the service a
:16:58. > :17:03.long time, this had not happened personally before. It was all quite
:17:03. > :17:07.surreal. I remember when they eventually got home, all I wanted
:17:07. > :17:16.to do was hug my family and the great live as for myself. I'm sure
:17:16. > :17:21.everyone else was the same. On the second anniversary of his death, it
:17:21. > :17:28.continues to affect us day-to-day. It is shake the whole service over
:17:28. > :17:33.the last couple of years to a great degree. In the mess room here, but
:17:33. > :17:38.there is an unusual but poignant memorial. We have a table up the
:17:38. > :17:44.stairs, a rather larger than life solid table, which matches his
:17:44. > :17:50.characteristics. On the night shifts, weak recently set and have
:17:50. > :17:54.a meal when we are able to. That helps with the bonding of a watch,
:17:54. > :18:01.and we worked well together and eat well together. That is for Ewan
:18:01. > :18:05.Williamson's memory. Ewen's colleagues may always remember him,
:18:05. > :18:10.but his death casts a professional shadows well as a personal one. Two
:18:10. > :18:17.years on, none of the investigations as to why and how he
:18:17. > :18:21.died has yet been published. routinely turn out to any number of
:18:22. > :18:27.emergencies. We asked to do a professional job, one we're proud
:18:27. > :18:33.of, but that brings dangers. We want to understand why and how we
:18:33. > :18:38.keep ourselves and other say. still enjoy going to my work, and I
:18:38. > :18:41.know my colleagues do as well. That will never Galway. It is tinged
:18:41. > :18:48.with sadness, but we have to put that at the back of our minds and
:18:48. > :18:53.carry on doing what we do. It's a famous photograph that
:18:53. > :18:56.encapsulated an era. This snap of a couple of post-war Glasgow street
:18:56. > :19:00.urchins became a Scottish favourite. But now the last surviving link
:19:00. > :19:04.with the famous Gorbals boys has ended. Les Mason, the child on the
:19:04. > :19:08.left, has died at the age of 70. His friend George Davis passed away
:19:08. > :19:14.nine years ago. Mr Mason's family say he was proud of his link with
:19:14. > :19:17.Glasgow's past. Now with news of someone who could
:19:17. > :19:20.be coming back to Glasgow, let's get the latest sports news from
:19:20. > :19:24.David. The Rangers manager Ally McCoist
:19:24. > :19:27.says he's hopeful of signing a big name before the start of the season.
:19:27. > :19:30.One that will capture the imagination of supporters. However,
:19:30. > :19:33.McCoist isn't naming any names yet, but he has confirmed an interest in
:19:34. > :19:43.bringing a former Rangers star back to Ibrox for a third time, just six
:19:44. > :19:46.
:19:47. > :19:51.months after the player left the club.
:19:51. > :19:56.That's a fantastic equaliser from Kenny Miller. He was the Premier
:19:56. > :19:59.League's top scorer last season with 21 goals, good going
:19:59. > :20:08.considering he quoted Scottish football in January. He got quite
:20:08. > :20:12.the reception when he went to Turkey. Now, he wants to come home,
:20:12. > :20:22.but his employers want to recoup some of the �400,000 be spent on
:20:22. > :20:28.
:20:28. > :20:35.him. That is not fitting the I imagine I'll be speaking to him
:20:35. > :20:40.again the next couple of days. If Miller returns to Rangers it
:20:40. > :20:46.will be for a third spell at the club. Rangers fans at least seem
:20:46. > :20:55.keen to welcome him home. He was obviously the top goalscorer last
:20:55. > :20:59.season playing half a season. quite angry because I got my name
:20:59. > :21:05.on the back and if he comes back I would have got in his name on the
:21:05. > :21:10.back. Third time lucky? That would be excellent. He's a great player.
:21:10. > :21:12.She fancies him as well. The Celtic manager Neil Lennon is
:21:12. > :21:16.still keen on Sunderland's Scotland international goalkeeper Craig
:21:16. > :21:18.Gordon despite him unlikely to be fit before October. But as the
:21:19. > :21:21.Parkhead club look to strengthen the goalkeeping department, they've
:21:21. > :21:31.taken the Croatian international Stipe Pletikosa on trial. The
