:00:20. > :00:24.Welcome to Reporting Scotland. In the last 30 minutes it has been

: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

:00:52. > :01:01.educated constituency in the UK - one person in three has not a

:01:01. > :01:07.single qualification. Four of the worst 10 areas are in

: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

:03:51. > :03:58.information cross-referenced with Glenn Mulcare's list, on which

:03:58. > :04:01.Tommy Sheridan bus feature. And now it has been confirmed that

: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

:04:17. > :04:22.

: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

:11:46. > :11:50.weekend of the new SPL season as the Hibernian manager has a stark

:11:50. > :11:56.warning for his supporters and a Celtic new boy it reveals why he

:11:56. > :12:01.opted for Parkhead over the English Premier League.

: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

:13:06. > :13:12.are educated to degree level in the City but for many others graduation

:13:12. > :13:16.the is something they will never see. In the West of Scotland six

: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

:13:29. > :13:39.at all. In Glasgow North East, the number is even higher at 35% -

:13:39. > :13:46.

:13:46. > :13:51.Who there are more than 110 schools in the region and the council say

: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

:14:39. > :14:44.Scotland is to compete globally, experts say it is something we

:14:44. > :14:48.cannot afford to ignore. Some other stories across Scotland

:14:48. > :14:51.this Friday. Police investigating the murder of

:14:51. > :14:54.a woman near Dundee are examining mobile phone pictures of a road

:14:54. > :14:57.crash which left her husband seriously injured. 40 year-old Jane

:14:57. > :15:01.Cumming was found dead at her home in the village of Longforgan a week

:15:01. > :15:04.ago today. Police are waiting to question her 45 year-old husband in

:15:04. > :15:08.connection with the death. The future of the UK's largest

:15:08. > :15:11.missile range is secure for the next five years at least. The

:15:11. > :15:14.Ministry of Defence has confirmed it will be investing in new

:15:14. > :15:18.equipment and facilities for the Hebrides range, which employs 200

:15:18. > :15:21.people. Air defence weapons being tested there currently include

:15:22. > :15:25.those being used on operation in Libya.

:15:25. > :15:27.One of the world's leading firms of architects has been named as a

:15:27. > :15:32.finalist in the design competition to transform Aberdeen's Union

:15:32. > :15:35.Terrace Gardens. Foster and Partners of London are among six

:15:35. > :15:38.teams to compete to design the new square. The proposal to raise the

:15:38. > :15:40.level of the Victorian gardens has been controversial - more than half

:15:40. > :15:44.of the respondents to a consultation rejected the plans.

:15:44. > :15:48.A rescue operation is underway to save at least 15 pilot whales which

:15:49. > :15:52.have come ashore at Kyle of Durness on the north coast of Scotland. The

:15:52. > :15:56.whales are part of a pod of as many as 60. They were spotted this

:15:56. > :16:05.morning just west of the village of Durness. A Royal Navy bomb disposal

:16:05. > :16:09.team training in the air has offered to help. One of Scotland's

:16:09. > :16:14.most distinctive music festivals - the Wickerman Festival celebrates

:16:14. > :16:20.its 10th anniversary. The event was inspired by the cult 1970s horror

:16:20. > :16:25.film of the same name. Our reporter is there for us tonight, how is the

:16:25. > :16:35.atmosphere? Began his fear is building nicely indeed - watched

:16:35. > :16:40.over by the giant wicker statue. -- the atmosphere is building nicely.

:16:40. > :16:43.There has been a lot of religious February about what a festival

:16:44. > :16:48.celebrating and movie which depicted paganism and a sacrificial

:16:48. > :16:58.ending - what that would entail. But those fears have been allayed

:16:58. > :16:58.

:16:58. > :17:06.over-the- years. It now has an established niece's -- niche. It

:17:06. > :17:10.has an eclectic music next - from Welsh rappers last year to ashore

:17:10. > :17:19.and -- sharp-suited Northern crooner. And there is iconic image

:17:19. > :17:25.of. The torch the image at the climax to the festival. -- the

:17:25. > :17:30.torch. This man directed the original movie. I came here and lit

:17:30. > :17:34.the Wicker man nine years ago. There was so much movement and life

:17:34. > :17:40.in the sculpture that I thought it was going to walk away, blazing

:17:40. > :17:48.across their hills. The 10th birthday has been reached against

:17:48. > :17:53.considerable odds. They Fell of paganism and a horrific ending

:17:53. > :17:59.caused churches to protest the festival originally. There was

:17:59. > :18:06.outrage and fears of sabotage. police said that people from local

:18:06. > :18:11.churches might come to protest before the festival. I got hold of

:18:11. > :18:17.an old van and I slept in the van for a week on constant duty in case

:18:18. > :18:23.someone turned up with a torch. Wicker man could -- survived to

:18:23. > :18:28.grow up in stature. It has been recognised as one of the most

:18:28. > :18:33.family-friendly festivals in the country. It is also a year round

:18:33. > :18:39.business for the farmer who decade ago provided his home as he sought

:18:39. > :18:44.to diversify in the aftermath of the foot-and-mouth Ed -- epidemic.

:18:44. > :18:48.It turns over 10 times the amount of the farm in the whole year. The

:18:48. > :18:54.potential of loss from the festival is very much greater than the

:18:54. > :18:58.potential from the FA and, so it is incumbent on me to make sure that

:18:59. > :19:05.does not happen. So that means hands-on and a total commitment to

:19:05. > :19:10.the Festival. The Wicker man will burn as always at midnight tomorrow

:19:10. > :19:15.but before then lots of good music to come. Then no assets are

:19:15. > :19:21.currently on the stage behind me. James, Feeder and the Coral are

:19:21. > :19:28.still to come up along with Echo and the Bunnymen. Fabulous music

:19:28. > :19:33.and great music. Sport now. Weeks after the end of

:19:33. > :19:38.the last campaign, football fans are getting ready for another SPL

:19:38. > :19:42.season. It will kicks off with Rangers against Hearts tomorrow.

:19:42. > :19:45.Chris McLoughlin has been to visit Dunfermline to see how it will play

:19:45. > :19:54.out. It has been a four year wait for

:19:54. > :20:04.this club but for everyone else it has been a matter of weeks.

:20:04. > :20:12.

:20:12. > :20:19.The new SPL season is upon us and once again weekends are complete.

:20:19. > :20:26.They say it is tough at the top, and this year will be no exception.

:20:26. > :20:33.It is a passionate Lennon at Parkhead. If we can get out and

:20:33. > :20:41.unfurled the flak which the players and supporters deserve, as soon as

:20:41. > :20:46.that is done it his business. not think I have an X jet age,

:20:46. > :20:56.there are two good teams. It should be interesting to watch. -- extra

:21:08. > :21:16.

:21:16. > :21:22.- clever signings. The pressure will not be reserved for managers

:21:22. > :21:31.and players. It is unlikely to be an easy ride for referees after

:21:31. > :21:35.their strike. You stumble through season to

:21:35. > :21:41.season but it would be terribly damaging if we had another season

:21:41. > :21:46.with the same problems as last season. I do not know if they

:21:54. > :21:58.gentlemen, start your sells them for their new season. -- strap

:21:58. > :22:02.yourselves end. Hibs manager says success for his

:22:02. > :22:07.side this season would be qualifying for a European place but

:22:07. > :22:12.he has warned his players they will need to improve to get there. Hibs

:22:12. > :22:19.take on Celtic on Sunday. Calderwood has urged the fans to

:22:19. > :22:24.have realistic expectations about the forthcoming season. I cannot

:22:24. > :22:31.see us starting the season in the type of form that will take us to

:22:31. > :22:35.that. The start is tough. I see scope in the group to improve. We

:22:35. > :22:39.will have to ride out one or two storms in the first half of this

:22:39. > :22:44.season. Celtic new signing Victor Wanyama

:22:44. > :22:51.has revealed he chose to join Celtic over Aston Villa who made

:22:51. > :22:58.him an offer. He opted to sign a four-year deal with Celtic instead

:22:58. > :23:08.and is relishing the prospect of life in the SPL. Yes, I really

:23:08. > :23:14.wanted to join the SPL. Celtic is an historic club. It was really

:23:14. > :23:19.nice and I think it was an easy choice for me to choose Celtic

:23:19. > :23:25.because it is a great club. So this season kicks off tomorrow

:23:25. > :23:29.but already one Scottish Cup is out of European condition --

:23:29. > :23:37.competition. Dundee United lost out to Slask Wroclaw in the second

:23:37. > :23:42.qualifying line -- qualifying rounds of the Europa a league. It

:23:42. > :23:50.was a noisy second half. Dundee were trailing 1 nil from the first

:23:50. > :23:57.leg. Two minutes then and a goal for work Dundee United's. It was

:23:57. > :24:02.not long before Dundee United doubled their lead. David Gill --

:24:02. > :24:07.David Goodwillie the scorer this time. Despite losing two early

:24:07. > :24:15.goals, Slask Wroclaw were not about to give up and scored an vital away

:24:15. > :24:22.goal. Just before half-time, David Goodwillie was sent sprawling and

:24:22. > :24:28.Dundee converted the penalty. United were back in its high. The

:24:29. > :24:35.Polish side had other ideas. They've ruined the European party

:24:35. > :24:44.for United. The SPL season has yet to begin but already Dundee United

:24:44. > :24:49.are out of Europe. It of gets underway this weekend. -

:24:49. > :24:54.- it all gets underway. Let us get the weekend weather. He

:24:54. > :24:56.promises great things. Hello there. It was a day of

:24:56. > :25:00.showers and sunny spells but not showers and sunny spells but not

:25:01. > :25:05.for all because it was chilly in Aberdeen. It will be dry and cool

:25:05. > :25:12.across most parts of the country. Showers will start to fade away

:25:12. > :25:19.with late sunshine for some of us. Overnight - a dry story. Some cloud

:25:19. > :25:25.but cleared as well. Temperatures around 6 or seven Celsius. Cooler

:25:25. > :25:31.spots in Highlands. In to tomorrow, fine and dry and bright. The wind

:25:31. > :25:36.is coming in from the north and down the east coast. Strong winds
