:00:24. > :00:30.confirmed that Strathclyde Police are investigating phone hacking in
:00:30. > :00:36.Scotland. And also the possibility that a witness committed perjury at
:00:36. > :00:41.the Tommy Sheridan trial. We reveal the celebrities who may be the
:00:41. > :00:47.victims of further news of the world's scandal. And fresh details
:00:47. > :00:52.of the cost of policing the Old Firm fixture. The most poorly

:01:07. > :01:13.Scotland. And we are also live on the sorely coast where the 10th
:01:13. > :01:19.anniversary of the Wicker man festival is being celebrated. --
:01:19. > :01:25.the Wickerman Festival. Strathclyde Police have launched a
:01:25. > :01:29.formal investigation into phone hacking and breaches of data
:01:29. > :01:33.protection. The investigation also uncover evidence given at the Tommy
:01:33. > :01:39.Sheridan trial. The inquiry began after a dossier alleging hundreds
:01:39. > :01:42.of people had been targeted by News International was handed to
:01:42. > :01:49.Strathclyde Police. Our correspondent has seen that dossier
:01:49. > :01:54.and brings us this report. It was this press conference a fortnight
:01:54. > :01:58.ago by Tom Watson, and the lawyer of Tommy Sheridan, which brought
:01:58. > :02:03.the news of the world scandal to Scotland.
:02:03. > :02:13.There is a dossier which we will be handing to Strathclyde Police.
:02:13. > :02:18.Reporting Scotland has obtained at least part of the dossier. It
:02:18. > :02:25.contains segments released from the disgraced private investigator of -
:02:25. > :02:29.- private investigator, Steve Whitton more. Many of the requests
:02:29. > :02:35.for data with than this a legitimate public we sourced
:02:35. > :02:40.requests. But some of them are far more sensitive, private information,
:02:40. > :02:45.like ex directory phone numbers or criminal records. F that
:02:45. > :02:52.information has been achieved by deception or blacking, that would
:02:52. > :02:59.be illegal. Which celebrities are on the list? Kenny Logan and his
:02:59. > :03:09.television presenter wife. Andy Jethro Tull Leeds singer, Ian
:03:09. > :03:10.
:03:10. > :03:18.Anderson. The News of the world was only the
:03:19. > :03:23.5th biggest customer of the private investigator concerned.
:03:23. > :03:29.It is in the public interest if we're talking about wrong doing,
:03:29. > :03:36.something illegal, unethical. If it is just for titillation then that
:03:36. > :03:41.is not in the public interest. It has to be about genuine wrong doing
:03:41. > :03:47.which is being exposed. The last it does not contain
:03:47. > :03:51.evidence of phone hacking but they it loyal of Tommy Sheridan once the

:04:01. > :04:07.Strathclyde Police is formally investigating the allegations along
:04:07. > :04:17.with allegations of poor -- police corruption, and perjury, by for

:04:22. > :04:27.more news of the world employees. - - four. -- former. And the last few
:04:27. > :04:33.minutes have also been dramatic. Up until now it had been a preliminary
:04:33. > :04:38.assessment with a huge amount of paperwork to go through. Not least,
:04:38. > :04:46.11,000 pages formerly belonging to Glenn Moore care which I believe is
:04:46. > :04:55.now in the possession of Strathclyde Police. -- Glenn
:04:55. > :04:58.Mulcaire. Strathclyde Police will be acutely aware of the alleged a
:04:58. > :05:04.bungled investigation at the Metropolitan Police. They will not
:05:04. > :05:09.want to repeat that mistake. I understand that 40 detectives have
:05:09. > :05:15.been deployed to help sift through the paperwork. There is much more
:05:15. > :05:22.to come. The cost of policing last year's
:05:22. > :05:32.Old Firm matches have been obtained by the BBC. They reveal that the
:05:32. > :05:40.
:05:40. > :05:50.clubs contributed less than 16 of the cost. -- one sixth. The cost is
:05:50. > :05:50.
:05:50. > :05:59.almost �2.4 million. That works out at more than �320,000 per game.
:05:59. > :06:08.Comparing that with other matches shows the difference. Just over
:06:08. > :06:12.�16,000 for a typical Celtic against Hearts match. There are
:06:12. > :06:22.just over 140 violent crimes on the average Saturday. But when there is
:06:22. > :06:23.
:06:23. > :06:26.an Old Firm game their average of 382. The club's pay for the cost of
:06:26. > :06:36.policing the matches but the majority of incidents take place
:06:36. > :06:37.
:06:38. > :06:47.after work. -- afterwards. On the day of a very Old Firm fixture
:06:48. > :06:53.
:06:53. > :06:56.extra police are drafted and. -- every Old Firm fixture. Match
:06:57. > :07:03.commander's and football intelligence teams add to a huge
:07:03. > :07:07.cost at a time when budgets are being squeezed.
:07:07. > :07:11.Speaking for my colleagues across Scotland we would rather spend the
:07:11. > :07:16.money assisting communities in the way that the public want us to do.
:07:16. > :07:22.Keeping people safer in a wider setting. Rather than spend an awful
:07:22. > :07:27.lot of money on one day. For any event.
:07:27. > :07:32.Last season the clubs paid more than �300,000 for policing the
:07:32. > :07:37.games but that is a fraction of the total cost of the bad behaviour
:07:37. > :07:45.surrounding the fixture. And the impact is not just financial.
:07:45. > :07:49.Domestic violence also increases. Women and children watched the game
:07:49. > :07:53.because they are terrified that if their partner's team loses, all
:07:53. > :07:58.hell will break loose when he comes home.
:07:58. > :08:03.The Government claims to be tackling the violence. The clubs
:08:03. > :08:07.claim they're doing all they can. But the police claimed that fans
:08:07. > :08:13.must police themselves and act responsibly. Policing these games
:08:13. > :08:16.may cost a lot of money but the matches do have positive effects. A
:08:16. > :08:22.recent study by the Fraser of Allander Institute found that over
:08:22. > :08:28.a season both clubs contributed �120 million of added value to the
:08:28. > :08:33.Glaswegian economy and support more than 3,000 jobs.
:08:33. > :08:39.New measures to tackle knife crime came into force today. Anybody
:08:39. > :08:45.caught carrying one in a pub, a bus, or train, will be automatically
:08:45. > :08:50.jailed for up to four years, even if it is a first offence.
:08:50. > :08:53.Previously the maximum sentence was one year. And the new law will
:08:53. > :08:59.focus on the so-called hot spots which are notorious for gang
:08:59. > :09:05.violence. An all too familiar scene. Knife crime often has deadly
:09:05. > :09:10.consequences. Convictions have dropped in the last five years but
:09:10. > :09:16.individual tragedies still resonate deeply. In February, more than
:09:16. > :09:22.1,000 people marched in memory of a teenager stabbed to death in plant
:09:22. > :09:28.hire. Feelings remain strong. These are young leaves which are
:09:29. > :09:34.lost. I work in a youth centre in plant
:09:34. > :09:40.hire and use public transport during the day. And I just do not
:09:40. > :09:50.trust some people at night. The Lord Advocate has adopted a
:09:50. > :09:56.tougher approach and is focusing on specific areas. In the city centre
:09:57. > :10:00.you have Pops, buses, taxis, trains stations, and if you are now caught
:10:00. > :10:06.carrying a knife in any of these places you will face tougher
:10:06. > :10:12.sanctions. And the same goes for designated hot spots which police
:10:12. > :10:17.and prosecutors are believed are a magnet for violence. A maximum four
:10:18. > :10:22.year sentence can be imposed. I hope this will be a strong
:10:22. > :10:26.deterrent for people who believe it is acceptable to carry a knife. And
:10:26. > :10:33.I hope it has an effect and people will ban the knife, leave it at
:10:33. > :10:38.home. Pub landlords and the police are
:10:38. > :10:42.pleased with the new emphasis on first time offenders.
:10:42. > :10:48.In the past a first-time offender could be dealt with in a less
:10:48. > :10:52.serious way. This time around, a first-time offender in these
:10:52. > :10:59.circumstances, in these areas, will be dealt with.
:10:59. > :11:04.It is estimated that 360 cases a year would fall under the new laws.
:11:04. > :11:09.The aim is to blunt the influence of blades on Scottish society.
:11:09. > :11:14.A man who killed the landlord of his local pub by driving over his
:11:14. > :11:22.body has been found guilty of murder. Lee McNamara killed the
:11:22. > :11:26.Steven Curran outside a pub last year. CCTV footage of him was shown
:11:27. > :11:33.to the jury in which the actual murder took place. It proved
:11:33. > :11:38.critical to the conviction. Still to come - save the whales. A
:11:38. > :11:41.rescue operation to rescue 15 which have a ran ashore on the Sutherland
:11:41. > :11:46.coast. We will look ahead to the opening

:12:01. > :12:05.People in parts of Glasgow are the most poorly educated in the entire
:12:05. > :12:10.UK. Figures show that more than one-third of people in the Glasgow
:12:10. > :12:15.North East constituency have no qualifications, the highest
:12:15. > :12:22.proportion anywhere in the UK. For some, living here can be a bleak
:12:22. > :12:28.prospect. Without qualifications it is likely to stay that way. Did you
:12:28. > :12:33.get any qualifications? Standard grades, but not many.
:12:33. > :12:40.What about mum? No, not many.
:12:40. > :12:50.And you gotta? I hope she will go to university.
:12:50. > :12:51.
:12:51. > :12:56.How difficult is it to get a job? I was easily led and if I knew now
:12:56. > :13:02.what -- if I knew that then I would have done more.
:13:02. > :13:06.Glasgow has the largest number of graduates in Scotland. One of up

:13:16. > :13:21.constituencies around the bottom 20 across the whole of the United
:13:21. > :13:29.Kingdom. In Glasgow East, one in three people have no qualifications

:13:52. > :13:54.they have invested in key workers and coaches to get young people
:13:54. > :14:01.into further education and apprenticeships, so what is going
:14:01. > :14:07.wrong? There is a real history of unemployment. There is perhaps a
:14:07. > :14:11.mind set of young people that do not expect to achieve anything. You
:14:11. > :14:16.only need to look at India and China, where they believe that the
:14:16. > :14:20.knowledge economy is the key to prosperity. The Scottish government
:14:20. > :14:25.says achievements should not be about where you live. We should
:14:25. > :14:30.make sure that everyone in Scotland aspires to having a job and to
:14:30. > :14:35.education and to making sure we overcome the huge historic
:14:35. > :14:39.inequalities in Scotland. This problem is not going away and a
