Good evening from Reporting Scotland. Tonight, unemployment is | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
up by 1,000. The first time it has risen since last autumn. The number | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
of people in work is also up. Full analysis ahead. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
For Brad Pitt is in Glasgow and Glasgow comes out for Brad Pitt. We | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
are live in the centre with the stargazers. | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
Still waiting, still believing. The face of a father 30 years to the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
day after his daughter was lost in the Himalayas. -- faith. I do | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
believe absolutely she will be found and I will see her. | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
Back to school and on your bike. We visit the town which has managed to | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
double the number of children cycling to class. | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Unemployment in Scotland has risen for the first time in nearly one | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
year. It has gone up by 1,000. There was a rise in the number of | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
people in work between May and June. Could this be a turn for the worse? | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
According to the job market survey in April, May and June 1,000 more | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
people were looking for work than during the previous three months. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
That takes the total up to 209,000 - the first rise since last autumn. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
To put it another way, the number claiming Jobseeker's Allowance, | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
that was up 2,600 last month to nearly 145,000. On both those | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
counts, the whole of the UK has seen surprisingly big rises in | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
today's figures. Scotland can take some hope from the increased number | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
of people in jobs - up by 24,000. That is in contrast with the fall | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
in employment south of the border. One sector that explains why there | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
is positive job growth in Scotland is energy, where big investment is | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
planned. Switching jobs and switching on to | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
an industry with a future. After 22 years in the RAF, this man has come | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
down to earth, training as an engineer with Scottish Power. | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
role I have now is a trainee engineer. I took a step down in | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
terms of knowledge of the Industry and Scottish Power provided a | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
training programme. That was the attraction. The company announced a | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
�3 billion of investment in the electricity grid across South | :02:33. | :02:43. | |
:02:43. | :02:44. | ||
Central Scotland. Over this decade, that means 1500 new recruits of all | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
ages. I applied for various apprenticeships. Luckily, I got | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
offered a job as a technician with Scottish Power. I have been with | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
them since then. I have been here for two years. The plan is to build | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
new links with turbines and customers. It means to deliver | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
capacity for exporting power to England and importing electricity | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
when the wind drops. We are going through an investment boom in this | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
industry. None of that will happen without investment in networks | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
because that is what is required to make it happen. Despite a weak | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
economy, energy is one of sector with strong prospects for the First | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Minister wants to see more action. There's a clear message I am | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
sending to the Chancellor, there has to be something about capital | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
investment, we need more of it. We need more access for smaller | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
companies and to grow economic security. We need to protect -- | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
protect people from high price rises. We cannot see the recovery | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
blown off course. There is a lot buffeting the economy this summer. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
Today, we get retail figures, still looking flat, only food sales on | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
the rise. The latest survey underlines on's debt problems, at a | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
failing to keep up with inflation and with government spending, | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
consumers and our trading partners battening down the hatches, it is | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
much less clear where growth and recovery will come from and when. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Shell has been giving details of how it plans to stop an oil leak in | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
the North Sea which has been flooding for one week. They plan to | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
raise her a -- blow up a section of pipeline to the seabed. There is a | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
risk 600 tonnes of oil could spell. -- Lola a section. We would wish to | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
stop the flow completely but from my point of view, I do not want to | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
do anything that will compromise the entire pipeline and go from a | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
situation where we have a quarter of a tonne to have a turn on the | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
surface. Our reporter is outside their headquarters in Aberdeen. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
What exactly does this plan to stop the leak involve? | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
At the moment, there is just a small amount coming out into the | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
North Sea. The plan is to take that one, to stretch of pipeline where | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
the leak is, that his four feet above the seabed, that has been | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
raised to that level, how, we do not know, and lower it back down. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Once it has been lowered, divers will go down there and they will | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
manually switched off that Duvall. That is a very risky operation | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
because a pipeline contains 600 tonnes of oil. The risk is there | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
that 600 tonnes, which is contained, and leaking out slowly, if it goes | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
wrong, it could all end up in the sea. The Government said the go- | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
ahead will be given once the risks have been minimised. When is this | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
likely to happen? Shell's plan is to do this over the next 24 hours. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
They do not have the final say. There is a risk assessment going on | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
at the moment. The Government's representative, when he is | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
satisfied the risk is minimised, will say, you can go ahead. If he | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
says no, they will have to go back to the drawing board and that leak | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
will continue to flow. Thank you. 30 years ago, a 19-year-old student | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
from the Highlands disappeared while on a backpacking trip in the | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
Himalayas. There has been no sign of Alison MacDonald since. Through | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
many years, her father has insisted one day he will see his daughter | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
again. That is even though he has lost his sight. | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
For 30 years, Kenny MacDonald has looked for his daughter. The girl | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
he remembers as a teenager would now be 49. The search goes on today. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
Even though he is 76 and his sight is almost gone. His belief is as | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
strong today as it ever was. He believes he will find her. I have | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
seen prayers in my search for Alison. Some would say it was a | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
coincidence that I know much better, it was the Lord's hand and | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
everything I can say about the whole business has been good. Apart | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
from Alison has not come home. vanished in 1981 on a backpacking | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
trip with a friend to Kashmir. No- one knows where she went and the | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
search has ranged across the world. That meant 17 visits to India, we | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
have been to Italy, Germany, Wales, England, all over the place. We | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
have been following clues and people who were there at the time | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
and people who were staying in the same guest house as her. We were | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
trying to catch up. They came to believe she was still | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
alive. They believed she is still with them. I remember her very | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
clearly. I remember different situations we were in growing up | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
and how she looked a what she did. She is not gone from our lives at | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
all. Kenny MacDonald still waits for his daughter and still believes, | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
even with a sliver of sight left, he will see her again. Alison has | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
never been lost to him. It will be a surprise to everybody, I know, | :08:23. | :08:32. | |
but I do believe, absolutely, that she will be found and I will see | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
her. You are watching Reporting Scotland. | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
Still to come: Why the start of term time it means a big problem | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
for this festival production. In sport, as birds arrive in | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
Scotland for tomorrow's night's game against Hearts. We will speak | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
to both managers. One is in good feeling. We will hear from Rangers | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
on the eve of the Europa League match. There is signing news from | :08:58. | :09:08. | |
them and some from Celtic. Brad Pitt fans have been out in | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
force in the centre of Glasgow all day trying to get a glimpse of him. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
He has been filming scenes for his latest movie, a zombie epic, which | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
I presume you have heard about. Our reporter is in the centre. There is | :09:22. | :09:31. | |
no sign of him? I would love to tell you I have been running from a | :09:31. | :09:39. | |
zombies all day or Brad Pitt but if only! I turned out to try and get a | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
glimpse of the man himself, I have to tell you the film crew have been | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
very helpful and have cut the generators so you could hear me | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
speaking to you from the edge of the set. I hope that has not dimmed | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
the lights on Brad Pitt. He is the man in the spotlight they want to | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
see. These girls came well prepared. The rare species they were looking | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
out for? One Holyrood star of the good-looking variety. Brad Pitt. -- | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
Holyrood. I think our chances are slim. Did you want to come down | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
here today, mum? A Yes. They were not alone. Cameras were clicked and | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
for the ladies, though the props were interesting, they really | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
wanted a glimpse of the star himself. I hoped to see Brad Pitt | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
and perhaps the children as well. What do you think your chances are? | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
Slim. He is busy filming. There is always a chance. You have to try. | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
worked in the centre. Hopefully this will be a lunchtime routine | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
for me. If you will be staking out? Absolutely. We believe this was | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
Brad Pitt to being whisked off for lunch a short time later. When | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
filming resumed, we managed to see a little of Philadelphia being shot. | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
No proper sighting of the man everybody wanted to see. Maybe I | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
could make it into the film myself? Then I would be bound to meet Brad | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
Pitt. They have got in use than. To think they might need a reporter? - | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
- do you think they might. It was a long shot. Any other ideas? | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
friends got a picture of him from their office. He has been here. | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
we have not found him. We were here last night about 2am. We heard he | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
was filming at 3am. He was not. you go down the road, you will | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
catch him. Hours of balancing on ladders finally paid off for the | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
professional photographers who flooded Glasgow's streets today. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
I am quite used to standing outside court houses. I have never been | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
stood here outside the United States' Cortes. That is part of the | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
:12:24. | :12:26. | ||
set they are filming. -- court house. I am not hanging about. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
Elgin businessman Nat Fraser is to face a retrial for the murder of | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
his wife 13 years ago. It follows a decision by the Supreme Court in | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
London which ordered his previous conviction for to be quashed. He is | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
a joy to appear at the High Court in Glasgow in October. | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
The Royal Bank of Scotland is to end access to cash machines owned | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
by his rivals for some of its account holders. It will affect one | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
million customers who have basic accounts. They will still get free | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
withdrawals from RBS, Tesco, NatWest, and Post Office machines. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
Scotland's police forces are still hoping with the gun going operation | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
in England following the riots. The Association of Chief Police | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
Officers confirmed these police vans from Grampian Police were | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
headed for London this morning. The association would not say how many | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
:13:24. | :13:25. | ||
officers were still involved in the It has been revealed Edinburgh has | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
the highest occupancy rates and hotels in Europe. Spurs are ride in | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
Scotland tonight. They cannot get aid remain the capital for their | :13:36. | :13:44. | |
game against Hearts tomorrow. As Morag Kinniburgh reports, amid | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
calls for her the building of more hotels, many locals are cashing in | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
on the shortages by renting out their spare rooms online. | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
But booking a big tent - Macbook -- booking a bed here is not easy. | :14:01. | :14:11. | |
was trying to -- it was hard trying to the Kieran in January. People | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
can have breakfast and dinner. Residents are cashing in. Renting | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
spare rooms by the night using a online system. I was looking for | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
something that I could do which was not a B&B. I am a full-time student | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
and I work as well. This was a great way to supplement my income. | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
I do not earn a great deal of money so this is tax free. It is a nice | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
way to meet people, people come from all the world. Accommodation | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
is almost at a premium in August. For the last two once, Edinburgh | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
has a past London. Not only the major capital cities in Europe as | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
well. There is a major investment opportunity year. Not only have | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
occupancy rates gone up but the room rates have gone up as well. | :15:04. | :15:14. | |
There is a major opportunity there for investment. There are still | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
beds available for many opting to stay out of town. As well as more | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
hotels being built, there are also website allowing people to campaign | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
in gardens. Thousands of children went back to | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
school today. How did they get there? By Stuart -- by a car, by | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
bus or bye-bye? For one primary, the use of bicycles as increased by | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
10 fault. Eleanor Bradford reports from Bishopbriggs. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
It is the first day of the new school term and you will not catch | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
this family taking the car. Even four-year-old James joins the daily | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
cycle to school. It started with my other son's first day at school. | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
The school was surprised to see a child so young riding to school. | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
They got behind it eventually and then they allowed him to cycle. | :16:11. | :16:21. | |
:16:21. | :16:23. | ||
Other kids wanted to learn as well. I like cycling. Here we set up a | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
club on Tuesdays at the school here. This YouTube video completing the | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
55 mile Edinburgh to Glasgow cycle ride persuaded the head teacher to | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
encourage children of all ages to cycle to school. Now Bishopbriggs | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
is becoming a town on two wheels. He came for home from school one | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
day and asked if he could join the Cycle Club. We thought he should | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
give it a go. We went along to their leisure centre. It was a full | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
day. I was not looking forward to it! I enjoyed it more than he did. | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
I cycled in Millport. Some are my friends did it last year. I cycle | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
to the Transport Museum. Nationwide, only 2% of children cycle to school. | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
But here in Bishopbriggs, it is on -- already three times that. And at | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
the school it is 10 times. But for many parents, dangerous roads are | :17:24. | :17:34. | |
the biggest worry. But he has even persuaded the council to lower the | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
speed. A lot of our schools have 20 mph zones. We would like to take it | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
further. Maybe parents will feel more confident that their children | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
can cycle safely to school. In most of Scotland, the Government is well | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
behind of getting more of us on bicycles. But Bishopbriggs issuing | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
the rest of the country how it is done. | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
Something different. An animal charity has rescued a cow in South | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
airshow which got its head stuck in a ladder. It was spotted in a field | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
beside the Troon to Barassie road last month. An inspector contacted | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
the farmer and which was returned unharmed. The farmer had no idea | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
how we got his head stuck in the ladder. | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
Sport now with David. FI found a ladder in a field, I | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
would put my head through it as well. As you may have seen earlier, | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
the stars and Spurs have arrived in Scotland ahead of their Europa | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
League game with hearts. Their manager insists they are taking the | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
tie seriously. So our hearts even though the sound of laughter was | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
echoing in their training ground today. | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
It is not as striking as capita Angelina Jolie, but Romanov turning | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
up at the training ground is unexpected. What was he doing? | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
:19:20. | :19:24. | ||
was a visit for us. He told me that he would like the players to play. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
Here is another Fannie one. Did you hear about these superstars who | :19:28. | :19:38. | |
:19:38. | :19:38. | ||
could not get a hotel room? festival is on this week. We could | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
not get a hotel anywhere near. We are 45 minutes away but it is not | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
the end of the world. It was a bit of a let-down battered baby shows | :19:48. | :19:58. | |
that Spurs is treating heart seriously. Despite -- but at least | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
it shows. While Harry Redknapp was talking, the other boss was keeping | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
an eye on his team. But will he go with the romance of suggested line- | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
up or on his own? No problem. He said... I always leave them | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
laughing. Rangers have signed the American midfielder Alejandro | :20:24. | :20:33. | |
Bedoya. He was up -- due to arrive in January. Rangers are in Slovenia | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
for their Europa League game against Maribor. It takes on its | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
extra significance because of the club's earlier disappointment. | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
is comportment. -- important. This is the best thing for us. It is the | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
same for the opposition as well. They are in the same boat. The | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
Europa League gives us an opportunity to continue playing. | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
Fraser Forster is back at Celtic and could even play in the euro by | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
League match against see on tomorrow. The Newcastle goalkeeper | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
who spent last year in Parkhead has signed another one year-long loan | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
deal, subject to registration. A possible start for him, but who can | :21:21. | :21:30. | |

Europa some of them cannot play. One man who falls into that | :21:37. | :21:42. | |

about the controversy. His opposite number would care for some clarity. | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
He may have to prepare for two things. You do not know what | :22:04. | :22:11. | |

back. We have worked hard to bring a men. We're very pleased. So as | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
signing ahead but who will turn out for this mess? | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
That is a mystery and so is the fact that it was a cow that got his | :22:54. | :23:04. | |
head stuck in a ladder? I thought it was a bullet. | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
