:00:22. > :00:25.Shell admits more than 200 tonnes of oil spilled into the North Sea.
:00:25. > :00:28.It means it is Britain's biggest oil spill for a decade.
:00:28. > :00:31.How this teenager was given a helping hand by a Scots electronics
:00:31. > :00:33.firm and a Formula One racing team. Also tonight: Main Street USA,

:00:43. > :00:46.
:00:46. > :00:53.just a home from home. Their going to cut American flags up. It is all
:00:53. > :00:56.they like home. And in sport: A financial silver lining for Celtic.
:00:56. > :01:01.The cup holders' debt is down but a lack of European action means their
:01:01. > :01:05.income was as well. More than 200 tonnes of oil have
:01:05. > :01:10.now spilled into the North Sea after a leak at a platform off the
:01:10. > :01:13.Aberdeen coast. It is one of the biggest spills in a decade.
:01:13. > :01:23.Conservationists say they are hugely concerned about the threat
:01:23. > :01:24.
:01:24. > :01:30.to sea birds. Our reporter is in Aberdeen. This leak happened near
:01:30. > :01:35.the Alpha Gannet at platform. 112 miles of the coast here. It was
:01:35. > :01:39.first spotted last Wednesday but details did not emerge until Friday.
:01:39. > :01:44.Initially, the company could not tell us how much oil was pouring
:01:44. > :01:50.into the sea or what kind of oil a was. This afternoon Shell confirmed
:01:50. > :01:54.some 200 tonnes of oil has now entered the sea. In the past half
:01:54. > :01:59.hour main Scotland has released a picture of the or oily sheen
:01:59. > :02:03.snaking into the distance. Conservationists have criticised
:02:04. > :02:08.Shell for a lack of transparency. Young seabirds had been leaving
:02:08. > :02:11.their nests along this stretch of coast for the past few weeks.
:02:11. > :02:15.Conservationists fear that some will be heading straight for the
:02:15. > :02:20.site of the spell. Birds are spreading out across the sea at
:02:20. > :02:25.this time of year. There leaving the nesting colonies. Many of the
:02:25. > :02:32.youngsters cannot grow properly. They cannot fly away from the oil.
:02:32. > :02:35.It will cause serious damage to their plumage if they hit this like.
:02:35. > :02:41.This morning RSPB Scotland demanded to know the extent of the leak and
:02:41. > :02:49.accused Shell of secrecy. The company confirmed around 216 tons
:02:49. > :02:53.of crude had poured into the water - twice the original estimate.
:02:53. > :02:58.incident is amounting to hundreds of tons of ore oil, there is no
:02:58. > :03:04.evidence of any impact on the wildlife because it is find out at
:03:04. > :03:08.sea. It is expected to disperse quickly. Around half a million
:03:08. > :03:13.tonnes of oil gushed into the sea during the disaster at the Gulf of
:03:13. > :03:19.Mexico. Spills that have been reset -- recorded in the past have been
:03:19. > :03:24.less than a ton. This one is clearly much bigger. It will have
:03:24. > :03:27.more impact because it is a bigger spell, you have to remember that
:03:27. > :03:36.oil despairs is naturally in the main I environment and normally
:03:36. > :03:39.quite quickly. Shell says the leak has slowed significantly. -- marine
:03:39. > :03:46.environment. Conservationists say it will be some time before the
:03:46. > :03:54.impact of this Bill becomes clear. It is too early to say what the
:03:54. > :03:59.final result will be. RSPB Scotland points to an incident in 2007 when
:03:59. > :04:05.a ship ran aground off the English coast. Around 100 tonnes of oil
:04:05. > :04:09.spilled into the sea but more than 2000 birds were affected. So while
:04:09. > :04:14.Shell insists that their impact will be minimal, critics say it is
:04:14. > :04:17.too early to say that for sure. Thank you.
:04:17. > :04:19.The BBC understands that the Chief Constable of Strathclyde, Stephen
:04:19. > :04:22.House, is the front-runner to become the new Metropolitan Police
:04:22. > :04:24.Commissioner, to succeed Sir Paul Stephenson who quit in the wake of
:04:24. > :04:34.the News International phone hacking scandal. Our political
:04:34. > :04:34.
:04:34. > :04:40.correspondent joins me now. deadline for applying to be the
:04:40. > :04:49.next chief is next Wednesday. We understand, having had a home
:04:49. > :04:54.office approaches, Stephen House will be applying for the job. He
:04:54. > :04:58.has a couple of advantages. We know following the riots in London - a
:04:58. > :05:02.big priority will be dealing with gang criminality and Strathclyde
:05:02. > :05:07.have had a lot of praise for how they have handled that over the
:05:07. > :05:12.last few years. He has experience, having served with the Met
:05:12. > :05:17.previously, this will help him. Also, he has not been down there in
:05:17. > :05:22.recent years when the Met has been in trouble. What will this mean for
:05:22. > :05:30.plans for a single national police force here? We expect details of
:05:30. > :05:34.them soon. He has been a strong advocate of this one for us. If he
:05:34. > :05:39.becomes the Met boss, he will not have that job. The question will be
:05:39. > :05:44.who will be in charge of reforming Schon's police force?
:05:44. > :05:49.You are watching reporter has gone from the BBC. Still to come - the
:05:49. > :05:54.Scottish government is to launch a consultation on how to reduce the
:05:54. > :05:59.use of plastic carrier bags. Could do it yourself programming at
:05:59. > :06:02.home be the saving grace for Scotland's video games industry?
:06:02. > :06:06.Celtic release a positive set of financial figures but warned that
:06:06. > :06:09.success at home and abroad is essential to keep balancing the
:06:09. > :06:13.books. Not on top of the world yet but
:06:13. > :06:20.heading in the right direction - Imogen Bankier says world
:06:20. > :06:24.championship silver could lead to Olympic gold.
:06:24. > :06:27.The 14-year-old boy has been given a helping hand - literally by a
:06:27. > :06:31.unique collaboration between a Livingstone electronics firm and a
:06:31. > :06:35.Formula One racing team. Matthew James from Berkshire was born
:06:35. > :06:39.without a left hand. But after appealing for sponsorship from the
:06:39. > :06:45.Mercedes F1 team, he has been given the most advanced artificial hand
:06:45. > :06:48.in the world, designed in West Lothian.
:06:48. > :06:53.Matthew James and his sister used their consoles to play a racing
:06:53. > :06:58.game. It is the first time that she has been able to do so since he
:06:58. > :07:04.received a new electronic hand. He can use the controller easily now.
:07:04. > :07:08.It makes a massive test it -- difference already. Just when using
:07:08. > :07:14.it around the house, I am suddenly able to do things I could not do
:07:14. > :07:21.before. Every day Dass are now so much easier. A bionic hand has not
:07:21. > :07:25.come cheap. He wrote to the boss of F1 Mercedes seeking sponsorship.
:07:25. > :07:29.They could not give cash but helped him raise money. They entered into
:07:29. > :07:34.a technology sharing arrangement with the Scottish company who were
:07:34. > :07:42.building vet bionic hand. This is the style of hand that Matthew
:07:42. > :07:50.has... That you's own muscles controlled hand. They translate --
:07:50. > :07:55.it translates movements into hand. It contracts and open hands and
:07:55. > :08:00.then closes it. The idea therapists that they hand exactly to give the
:08:00. > :08:05.patient maximum control. We needed to understand how he would use the
:08:05. > :08:10.hand for certain tasks and we would lookout and position which would
:08:10. > :08:14.make those specific tasks easiest for him and avoid too much elbow
:08:14. > :08:21.movement and shoulder movement to compensate for that reduced wrist
:08:21. > :08:27.movement. Back in Berkshire, Matthew's father is seeing the
:08:27. > :08:31.benefits in ants -- unexpected ways. He is starting to do things that
:08:31. > :08:36.young adults do - cook for themselves, for all their clothes,
:08:36. > :08:43.that sort of thing. So we're trying to get in more involved in home
:08:43. > :08:47.chores. His hand will probably need replacing in a few years as he
:08:47. > :08:52.grows. By that time designers in Livingston promise it will be
:08:52. > :08:58.capable of doing even more. And 90-year-old man has appeared in
:08:58. > :09:02.court in connection with, is posted on a social network site, allegedly
:09:02. > :09:06.inciting people to riot. Stephen Nisbet from Kirkcaldy appeared at
:09:06. > :09:10.the town's sheriff court charged with breach of the peace and was
:09:10. > :09:14.remanded in custody. What are you more likely to see on
:09:15. > :09:24.the streets of Glasgow? Zombies or Brad Pitt? He would get a chance to
:09:25. > :09:25.
:09:25. > :09:31.see both. Work started today on his latest film - World War dead. Any
:09:31. > :09:37.sign of Brad Pitt or the zombies yet? No zombies and no Brad Pitt
:09:37. > :09:42.just yet. We have a major operation to turn Glasgow into a film set.
:09:42. > :09:47.There had been made the producers and executives trying to organise
:09:47. > :09:53.everything today. We have had hundreds of groundstaff who had
:09:53. > :09:58.been painting and repaying this region behind me here. We have had
:09:58. > :10:05.lighting equipment and cameras put across the skyline, alter film a
:10:05. > :10:15.small part of the multi- million movie would work Z. This is an
:10:15. > :10:20.invasion. Hollywood has set up camp. -- World War Z. The natives do not
:10:20. > :10:26.seem to mind the work. I had not seen this before in Glasgow, it is
:10:26. > :10:31.very good. It is very exciting, I love films and I love to see it all
:10:31. > :10:38.coming together. I look forward to seeing it on the screen. Hopefully,
:10:38. > :10:43.I can get to see brands Pitt. It is really exciting to see how it is
:10:43. > :10:48.getting transformed into Philadelphia. Street signs have
:10:48. > :10:53.been replaced by American alternatives. Over 100 cards have
:10:53. > :10:57.been shipped in. This city centre will become the mean streets of
:10:57. > :11:03.Philadelphia where battle between humans and zombies will be played
:11:03. > :11:09.out. Expect car chases and explosions. This is quite unusual
:11:09. > :11:16.for Glasgow. His career as is a curious sight - especially if you
:11:16. > :11:21.actually come from Philadelphia. -- this chaos. It is very amusing for
:11:21. > :11:27.us. They are bringing the facts down and putting up American flags.
:11:27. > :11:33.It is like home. Glasgow is playing his part in his �18 million movie.
:11:33. > :11:38.It is hoped all this effort will reap its own rewards. It is not
:11:38. > :11:47.Glasgow will make around �2 million from having all this film set here.
:11:47. > :11:57.Two questions remain - is the world work is dead or Rob were his see? -
:11:57. > :12:04.
:12:04. > :12:08.- is it world work said? He is something we do not want to see on
:12:08. > :12:14.our streets - free carrier bags could be a thing of the past. The
:12:14. > :12:23.government wants to cut the number of plastic bags been used. We had
:12:23. > :12:29.been encouraged to be used bags. What would we do without them?
:12:29. > :12:34.-- to re-use carrier bags. cupboard is full of a carrier bags.
:12:34. > :12:38.Numbers have dropped in recent years, from 78 million a month in
:12:38. > :12:44.2006 to 38 million a month two years ago. That number has been
:12:44. > :12:50.creeping up again, so what are we doing with all the carrier bags?
:12:50. > :12:57.What he do it these carrier bags when she gets home? -- what do you
:12:57. > :13:05.do with these carrier bags when you get home? We recycle them. They go
:13:05. > :13:12.into the blue Ben. What could persuade you to use a back for
:13:12. > :13:18.life? Nothing really, because the always break. If my mum was here,
:13:18. > :13:23.it would be bags for life. Some other customers are just like her
:13:23. > :13:29.mum and keep their disposable carriers. I always bring carrier
:13:29. > :13:36.bags with me because I might need some more. I do not throw them away.
:13:36. > :13:40.I just keep adding them end there. A lot of the people I've spoken to,
:13:40. > :13:44.already have a back for life but do not always managed to use it. For
:13:44. > :13:49.instance, if I pop into the supermarket on my way home from
:13:49. > :13:59.work but it's more of us were to use our backs for life more often,
:13:59. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:04.Some of the other stories this Monday: the more people are finding
:14:04. > :14:10.jobs according to a Bank of Scotland report. Aberdeen the lead
:14:10. > :14:17.the way according to the bank. But it also stated that the trains may
:14:17. > :14:21.be difficult to maintain in future. Heart of Midlothian claim that any

:14:49. > :14:56.What about our industrial future? It is one a year since the collapse
:14:56. > :15:00.of one of the biggest video-games club -- companies in the country.
:15:00. > :15:08.Can the sector are be saved by a new breed of developer building
:15:08. > :15:18.simple games and selling them cheaply on the internet? Caird Hall
:15:18. > :15:24.is a round with a video games fans. -- packed with. It contrasted
:15:24. > :15:29.sharply with the Ghulum infecting the industry one the year ago. --
:15:29. > :15:35.gloom. A new breed of games producers are injecting life into
:15:35. > :15:39.the sector. Mainstream budgets just do not work
:15:39. > :15:44.any more. People have the technology in their bedroom to
:15:44. > :15:50.build something over the course of a weekend and post it on line
:15:50. > :15:57.without a publisher or funding. People can play it, pay for it,
:15:57. > :16:07.enjoy it. It is perfect. They go budget Console Games are a
:16:07. > :16:09.
:16:09. > :16:16.bad risk. They cost millions and take years. -- large budget.
:16:16. > :16:23.Increasingly games are available online or cheap. Experts claim that
:16:23. > :16:27.the game's developers can make a good living out of it.
:16:27. > :16:31.There have been countless examples of one or two people making a game
:16:32. > :16:36.in their bedroom and becoming millionaires of the back of it.
:16:36. > :16:41.Even though they are selling it for just a couple of pounds, it goes to
:16:42. > :16:46.millions of people, and they get all the money themselves.
:16:46. > :16:50.There is still a demand for Blockbuster titles but the dream of
:16:50. > :17:00.many graduates entering the industry today has shifted away

:17:38. > :17:44.They wear a young girls but they had endured so much before coming
:17:44. > :17:49.to America. -- they were young girls. They came with the dream of
:17:49. > :17:56.a better life. But the dream turned sour when fire
:17:56. > :18:04.ripped through the building. Many of the women were trapped.
:18:04. > :18:08.The workers on the 9th floor were trapped. To the dismay of their
:18:08. > :18:15.fellow New Yorkers they stood on the window ledges with the flames
:18:15. > :18:21.coming at them. Many of them chose to jump. Many chose to hold hands,
:18:21. > :18:26.some of them three or four at a time.
:18:26. > :18:32.146 people died but it shocked the City into action. National
:18:32. > :18:37.legislation was shaped for ever after.
:18:37. > :18:43.I wanted to support the production because in their death these people
:18:43. > :18:51.were held. That is a universal cry for everybody's sense of dignity.

:19:31. > :19:35.-- Hooper. Figures released today show at the club had reduced their
:19:35. > :19:45.dead but also of their income had fallen a due to a lack of European
:19:45. > :19:50.action. The year leading up to the end of June saw Celtic reduce their
:19:50. > :19:57.debt from �6 million to about half a million pounds. Revenue however
:19:57. > :20:04.fell by around �10 million. They turned up last year's loss into a
:20:04. > :20:08.profit this year of 100,000. There was no European action beyond
:20:08. > :20:14.qualifiers here last season. That leaves a yawning gap in the
:20:14. > :20:20.finances of any club. But the sale of Aiden McGeady for �9 million
:20:20. > :20:24.made up for that in large part. The club desperately want to return to
:20:24. > :20:32.league and European success. But the chief executive today suggest
:20:32. > :20:38.that they would continue to invest in youth. There is an obvious
:20:38. > :20:40.example to follow. We have been drawn against
:20:41. > :20:47.Barcelona and they are the benchmark that ourselves and other
:20:47. > :20:52.clubs want to judge ourselves against. It is a utopia for youth
:20:52. > :20:59.football. There is little doubt Celtic would
:20:59. > :21:06.hope their youngsters can help them air on Champions League football
:21:06. > :21:11.rather than depart the club in order to pay for missing out.
:21:11. > :21:21.Bolton have made a bad to Rangers for Greg Wylde who has yet to agree

:21:30. > :21:34.-- made a bid. Celtic are interested in the former Hearts
:21:34. > :21:38.goalkeeper Craig Gordon. But there is considerable work to be done. He
:21:38. > :21:42.is no longer first-choice keeper at Sunderland after a string of

:23:10. > :23:13.
:23:13. > :23:18.for the sport in Scotland. -- big lift.
:23:18. > :23:22.It is a huge boost to the sport in this country and to the coaches who
:23:22. > :23:32.have worked with youngsters over the years. We are reaping the
:23:32. > :23:33.
:23:34. > :23:43.dividends of changes to the structure mate 10 years ago.

:24:12. > :24:20.And now the weather. This evening we will see rain are pushing him.
:24:20. > :24:25.But most places will see a dry end to the day. Looking at the bottom
:24:25. > :24:34.of the screen you can see a band of rain pushing in. That will reach
:24:35. > :24:39.most parts of the country. Patchy, but with heavier bursts. The
:24:39. > :24:48.Northern Isles will remain largely dry overnight but it will be milder
:24:48. > :24:53.than last night. Tomorrow morning the band of rain will push
:24:53. > :24:57.northwards and continue throughout the day. The Northern Isles will
:24:58. > :25:03.stay largely dry with sunny spells, the North and North East will start
:25:03. > :25:09.off dry and bright but quickly see the rain approach, cooler, with
:25:09. > :25:14.highs of around 16 Celsius. Then towards the south, the rain will
