:00:14. > :00:15.Welcome to Wednesday's Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national
:00:15. > :00:18.news. The Lockerbie bomber's appearance
:00:18. > :00:23.on Libyan television prompts renewed criticism of the decision
:00:24. > :00:26.to release him. Helping victims of rape -- a
:00:26. > :00:32.leading prosecutor warns against changes that might affect improving
:00:32. > :00:35.conviction rates. Calls for a national smart
:00:35. > :00:39.ticketing system to encourage more use of public transport.
:00:39. > :00:48.And left in a spin - the kitten that survived an hour-long cycle in
:00:48. > :00:54.its owner's washing machine. I just grabbed a towel and held her close
:00:54. > :00:57.to me. She was totally shaking, totally shocked, I think.
:00:57. > :00:59.The decision to release the Lockerbie bomber has come in for
:00:59. > :01:06.renewed criticism after Libyan television broadcast pictures which
:01:06. > :01:08.appeared to show him at a pro- government rally in Tripoli. It's
:01:08. > :01:10.nearly two years since Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was freed from Greenock
:01:10. > :01:20.prison on compassionate grounds, after being diagnosed with terminal
:01:20. > :01:24.cancer. These are the pictures said they
:01:25. > :01:28.have been shown live on Libyan television yesterday. Do they
:01:28. > :01:35.appear to short Abdelbaset al- megrahi as up -- at a pro-
:01:35. > :01:39.government rally. They described his conviction as a result of a
:01:39. > :01:42.conspiracy, but it is very appearance that has ignited a
:01:42. > :01:46.controversy. This was absolutely the wrong thing to do. It shows the
:01:46. > :01:50.medical advice it was based on it was pretty much worthless. I think
:01:50. > :01:55.many people, particularly the families of those killed at
:01:55. > :01:59.Lockerbie, will feel anger and outrage at this release which will
:01:59. > :02:02.be further intensified by what we have seen. Abdelbaset al-megrahi
:02:02. > :02:12.had served nearly eight years of a 27 year sentence, after being
:02:12. > :02:15.
:02:15. > :02:18.convicted of killing 270 people. Almost exactly two years ago,
:02:18. > :02:22.Abdelbaset al-megrahi was released from Greenock prison on
:02:22. > :02:29.compassionate grounds, and allowed to return home to Libya. Today, the
:02:29. > :02:33.man who took that decision on his own, reiterated his position.
:02:33. > :02:38.Cancer is an inexact science. What is undeniable and what nobody
:02:38. > :02:42.disputes, is that he is terminally ill with prostate cancer. The date
:02:42. > :02:46.of death is beyond my powers to decide, but it is undeniable that
:02:46. > :02:50.he is terminally ill. He maintains he took his decision based on a
:02:50. > :02:54.report from the Scottish Prison Service's most senior medical
:02:54. > :03:00.officer. His clinical assessment at the time was that a reasonable
:03:00. > :03:03.prognosis for this patient would be about three months. With the second
:03:03. > :03:07.anniversary of Abdelbaset al- megrahi's release coming up,
:03:07. > :03:11.opposition politicians are once again demanding to see it
:03:11. > :03:16.Abdelbaset al-megrahi's personal records. It is clear the medical
:03:16. > :03:19.evidence on which decision was based was flawed. We need to see
:03:19. > :03:24.the medical evidence which we have never seen. This was a bad decision
:03:24. > :03:28.and a wrong decision, it was also badly taken at the time. The new
:03:28. > :03:34.pictures have affected the victim's families on both sides of the
:03:34. > :03:38.families on both sides of the Atlantic. Seeing him at essentially
:03:38. > :03:44.well and out in public almost two well and out in public almost two
:03:44. > :03:49.years after he had his death sentence is just disgraceful. The
:03:49. > :03:56.mother of another victim told me it she saw a relief to see that he was
:03:56. > :03:59.still being looked after. Only 3% of rape allegations leading
:03:59. > :04:02.to a conviction in court - that's the figure which led the last Lord
:04:02. > :04:05.Advocate to take action. That rate has begun to improve. Of 528
:04:05. > :04:08.reported rapes in the most recent year for which figures are
:04:08. > :04:13.available, 179 went to court, resulting in 56 convictions, a
:04:13. > :04:16.conviction rate of 10.6%. Now the man who's stepping down as the head
:04:16. > :04:18.of Europe's first specialist unit for the investigation of serious
:04:18. > :04:21.sex crimes says politicians must be cautious if they're considering
:04:21. > :04:31.changing the way rape is prosecuted. Our Home Affairs Correspondent,
:04:31. > :04:35.
:04:35. > :04:39.Reevel Alderson has this exclusive report.
:04:39. > :04:47.What I'd like to do first of all was talk about what we can do for
:04:47. > :04:50.you here but Mac reporting rape is always difficult. Not only does the
:04:50. > :04:54.victim have to relive the experience, there is always the
:04:54. > :04:59.fear they will not find justice. This man has sought a revolution in
:04:59. > :05:01.the way rape allegations are treated. I cannot make the trial of
:05:02. > :05:05.getting experience for them. They will always have to go back in
:05:05. > :05:12.their mind and think about what happened. What I can do is provide
:05:12. > :05:15.an environment which is respectful, and also dignified for them.
:05:16. > :05:21.Supportive and which allow them the best way possible to tell their
:05:21. > :05:25.story. The archway and Glasgow Scotland's only centre offering a
:05:25. > :05:32.one-stop shop for rape victims to tell their story, up to seven days
:05:32. > :05:36.after they were attacked. It is a safe environment for victims, who
:05:36. > :05:42.can receive treatment and counselling and also gather
:05:42. > :05:45.evidence. The number of cases here is up almost 60%, a measure of
:05:46. > :05:50.growing confidence that rape allegations will be believed.
:05:50. > :05:55.night, I saw a client and as she left she said, I can't believe I'm
:05:55. > :05:59.here but thank you for making it a bit more bearable. We get that kind
:05:59. > :06:03.of feedback quite a lot. Ministers are considering changing a lot
:06:03. > :06:10.further to improve the rape conviction rate, bike ending the
:06:10. > :06:14.requirement for corroboration. Appointed finger of sexual
:06:14. > :06:17.impropriety can destroy someone's livelihood, a reputation, even if
:06:17. > :06:23.the case ever got to court. You could be subject to vilification
:06:23. > :06:27.from the moment the accusation is made, and there is no anonymity. We
:06:27. > :06:31.take very seriously the responsibility we have before
:06:31. > :06:36.launching an allegation, a prosecution or asking the jury for
:06:36. > :06:38.a conviction. Prosecutors and doctors insist their working on
:06:39. > :06:43.making reporting a terrible crime less traumatic.

:07:11. > :07:15.In sport, we'll reflect on last night's disappointing European
:07:15. > :07:19.result for Rangers. Scotland head off to the rugby world cup minus
:07:19. > :07:21.one of their more experienced players. And the world's leading

:07:36. > :07:39.to back down on plans to hold marches close to Celtic Park just
:07:39. > :07:44.as football fans are leaving a match. Instead the Royal Black
:07:44. > :07:46.Institution is prepared to hold their parades earlier. The offer
:07:46. > :07:49.comes as councillors prepare to meet to discuss whether to allow
:07:49. > :07:54.the processions. Our local government correspondent Jamie
:07:54. > :08:04.McIvor is outside Glasgow Council's headquarters. What exactly did the
:08:04. > :08:05.
:08:05. > :08:09.institution want to do? August 13th this year is a big day
:08:09. > :08:13.for them. It is a day they hold a big match in Glasgow followed by a
:08:13. > :08:18.number of smaller marches as the people taking part make their way
:08:19. > :08:22.home. The issue was with four of these 29 smaller march is, because
:08:22. > :08:26.the it they would have taken would have gone through states close to
:08:26. > :08:31.Celtic Park, around the same time that the final whistle would have
:08:31. > :08:36.worn at the end of Celtic verses Dundee United. You were potentially
:08:36. > :08:39.talking about a situation where you had thousands of football fans and
:08:39. > :08:44.marchers in the same area. This could have led their extra pressure
:08:44. > :08:48.on the police and what was likely to be a busy police -- weekend for
:08:48. > :08:54.the place anyway. As things stood, the Council was expected to reject
:08:54. > :08:59.the proposals for these are thought marches. They moved for a
:08:59. > :09:03.compromise? The institution is offering to bring forward the
:09:03. > :09:07.timing of these marches by about an hour, so they will be taking place
:09:07. > :09:12.while the game is being played. The council has still not said whether
:09:12. > :09:16.or not they would accept that offer, but the institution is hope for
:09:16. > :09:20.that by bringing forward the timing, it deals with some of the concerns
:09:20. > :09:23.that did exist. If an amicable deal between the different parties is
:09:23. > :09:27.not stuck tonight, then the council is expected to reach a final
:09:27. > :09:30.decision tomorrow. A teenager has been arrested in

:09:33. > :09:37.from Metropolitan Police say they arrested the 19-year-old as part of

:10:05. > :10:14.broadcast a mayday message claiming someone had fallen overboard. Mike
:10:14. > :10:16.Grundon reports. On 3rd October last year, Shetland
:10:16. > :10:23.coastguard received a Mayday message saying someone had fallen
:10:23. > :10:27.into water off the coast. A rescue helicopter, a lifeboat and cliff
:10:27. > :10:32.rescue teams were all called out. It was an hour before it was
:10:32. > :10:36.identified as a hoax and had cost an estimated �13,000. In court
:10:36. > :10:40.today was 19-year-old David Williamson, the man responsible for
:10:40. > :10:43.the hoax call it. In a previous appearance, the court was told he
:10:43. > :10:46.had been drinking for 12 hours before making the call. He had been
:10:46. > :10:51.warned he would be sent to prison and he was back today for
:10:51. > :10:55.sentencing. His defence agent said Williamson had made a donation and
:10:55. > :10:59.had set up a standing order for �250 a month to the charity with
:10:59. > :11:02.the intention of paying off the cost of the operation. He also
:11:02. > :11:07.offered to do voluntary work for the lifeboats and made a public

:11:12. > :11:15.The local coastguard say the sentence is appropriate.
:11:15. > :11:19.implication is that taking away rescue teams and helicopters and

:11:32. > :11:36.by con them out to something. It was a stupid idea. The Sheriff said
:11:36. > :11:39.he did not want to give the impression someone could just buy

:12:22. > :12:24.
:12:24. > :12:28.There is a warning that Scotland's sporran industry is being
:12:28. > :12:31.threatened by China buying up raw materials. Kilt makers say
:12:31. > :12:34.increasing demand is driving up the price of sporrans and could lead to
:12:34. > :12:44.job losses in the industry. The rising price of pewter is also
:12:44. > :12:44.
:12:44. > :12:47.being blamed. Campaigners are calling for a
:12:48. > :12:51.national smart ticketing system, to encourage more of us to use public
:12:51. > :12:54.transport. They say the introduction of a Scottish
:12:54. > :12:57.equivalent to London's Oyster card would make it easier for passengers
:12:57. > :12:59.to use buses and trains without having to search for change or

:13:17. > :13:23.but worries about buying the cheapest ticket, or searching for
:13:23. > :13:27.the right change could soon be a thing of the past. To get to

:13:32. > :13:37.Campaigners say it should be much more easier and this could be the
:13:37. > :13:41.answer. London's Oyster card allows passengers to make journeys on all
:13:41. > :13:48.types of different transport. The cards are loaded with cash in
:13:48. > :13:53.advance and can be topped up automatically. As if you have the

:19:52. > :19:55.Scotland full-back Hugo Southwell will miss this autumn's World Cup
:19:55. > :19:57.due to injury. Southwell, who has 59 caps, has not played for

:20:00. > :20:03.injuring his knee in May while playing for his then employers
:20:03. > :20:13.Stade Francais. Southwell is now without a club and that coupled
:20:13. > :20:18.with his lack of fitness means he will miss the World Cup. Looking at
:20:18. > :20:23.his situation, he has not got a club at the moment, looking at his
:20:23. > :20:30.rugby career, we just felt that where we are as a club, where he is,
:20:30. > :20:40.he is improving. It was right for him. But we came to the decision
:20:40. > :20:48.
:20:48. > :20:53.rugby wise that he would not be part of the squad. We have been
:20:53. > :20:58.catching up with the British Women's Open. There are some strong

:22:51. > :22:54.Princess jumped in when her owner turned her back and ended up going
:22:55. > :22:58.for a spin with a load of laundry. The cat, from Aberdeen, was
:22:58. > :23:08.battered and bruised, but is now very much on the mend. We went to
:23:08. > :23:13.meet her. Princess, getting the Royal pampering treatment. She is
:23:13. > :23:18.back where she was brought when she was on the brink of death. It all

:24:15. > :24:20.bruising and inhalation of fluid. The soap had damaged her eyes. The
:24:20. > :24:25.main treatment was getting her on fluids and getting her warm and
:24:25. > :24:35.dried up again. We treated any pain and kept her comfortable. Is there
:24:35. > :24:36.
:24:36. > :24:39.a lasting fear of washing machines? Well, I always double-check!
:24:39. > :24:46.Princess is now off her painkillers and she has been given the all-
