:00:13. > :00:15.Welcome to Monday's Reporting Scotland. Tonight:
:00:15. > :00:19.English students, Scots universities and plans to charge
:00:19. > :00:24.tuition fees. Human rights lawyers say they'll take the SNP Government
:00:24. > :00:27.all the way to the Supreme Court. Also this evening:
:00:27. > :00:37.As the flying doctors rescue their 1,000th patient, we hear from one
:00:37. > :00:41.
:00:41. > :00:44.boy who owes them his life. thought I had died. I woke up and I
:00:44. > :00:47.was sick. One in nine shops now lies empty.
:00:47. > :00:49.What's happened to our high streets and can anything be done to reverse
:00:49. > :00:52.the trend? And in sport:
:00:52. > :01:02.Flying the flag, all the way to New Zealand. Full details of the
:01:02. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:06.Scotland squad for next month's An English law firm says it is
:01:06. > :01:11.prepared to take a challenge to the Scottish Government's plans to
:01:11. > :01:15.charge tuition fees to students south of the border all the way to
:01:15. > :01:20.the Supreme Court. It believes the SNP proposal to charge students
:01:20. > :01:24.from England up to �9,000 a year amount to discrimination but the
:01:24. > :01:33.Education Secretary says it is not about where you were born, it is
:01:33. > :01:40.where you live. In the run-up to the new term,
:01:40. > :01:44.funding and fees on the minds of most. But some are conscious of the
:01:45. > :01:50.price-tag on of tuition. For English students, a bill of up to
:01:50. > :01:54.�36,000. It is definitely not fair. We are very privileged as Scottish
:01:54. > :02:00.students not to have to pay. English students will have to pay
:02:00. > :02:04.whether they stay in England or go to Scotland. So it did not sway me
:02:04. > :02:07.to England or Scotland. It is unfair that people who are not from
:02:07. > :02:12.Scotland have to pay where as Scottish people do not have to pay
:02:12. > :02:15.anything. Mixed feelings at Edinburgh University but for an
:02:15. > :02:21.English legal firm, the differential fees are unfair and
:02:21. > :02:25.unlawful. It is a great thing that Scotland does not charge education
:02:25. > :02:29.to its students but it is also unfair that it does charge to
:02:29. > :02:34.English students full price for its higher education when it does not
:02:34. > :02:37.charge for Greek or French students. It seems that there is clear
:02:38. > :02:42.discrimination there. discrimination, says the Scottish
:02:42. > :02:46.Government. What matters is where you live in the three years before
:02:46. > :02:50.you become a student, not where you were born. This has been tested.
:02:50. > :02:55.This issue has been tested by the European Parliament. There have
:02:55. > :03:00.been petitions on the matter. They have all failed. So in this
:03:00. > :03:04.instance, there is no possibility of succeeding. EU rules say it all
:03:04. > :03:11.the students have to be treated the same by all member states. The
:03:11. > :03:17.Scottish Government argues Scotland is not currently a states.
:03:17. > :03:20.English legal team insists this is discrimination, as the policy
:03:20. > :03:29.affects students who are English. It says that if necessary it is
:03:29. > :03:33.ready to take this case all the way to the Supreme Court.
:03:33. > :03:38.The Flying doctors service which was rolled out to the whole of
:03:38. > :03:45.Scotland last year has rescued its 1,000 ath patient. One of its
:03:45. > :03:49.recent rescues was to Skye to pick up a boy with a severe head injury.
:03:49. > :03:56.Still sporting an impressive scar, Ross MacRae is a very lucky young
:03:56. > :04:01.man. He was cycling when he hit a bump and knocked himself out.
:04:01. > :04:08.thought I had died, actually. And then I woke up and I was really
:04:08. > :04:15.sick. My neck was really sore and I had to hold my head up. I was
:04:15. > :04:19.scared. He was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital, on Skye.
:04:19. > :04:22.Staff there immediately realised it was more than just concussion.
:04:23. > :04:26.could sort of sense from the medical staff that they were really
:04:27. > :04:30.concerned about him. They started cutting his clothes off and were
:04:30. > :04:36.talking about ventilating him and I heard somebody say they were going
:04:37. > :04:40.to call the crash team. They work saying his pupils had blown and
:04:40. > :04:44.that sort of thing. In Glasgow, the Flying Doctor service had already
:04:44. > :04:50.been alerted. Ross needed specialist treatment but the
:04:50. > :04:56.helicopter flight back to Glasgow would be dangerous. Ross was very
:04:56. > :05:01.unwell when we got to see him. He had a serious head injury that the
:05:01. > :05:06.doctors on Skye had started treatment for. But on the flight he
:05:06. > :05:10.became quite unstable. His heart when did to an abnormal rhythm
:05:10. > :05:15.which required urgent treatment. Within hours, Ross was having
:05:15. > :05:19.emergency surgery to remove a potentially fatal blood clot but he
:05:19. > :05:25.has made a remarkable recovery and he and his mother have just one
:05:25. > :05:30.thing to say to the Flying Doctor Service. Thank you so much. Yes.
:05:30. > :05:36.And as we filmed at the helipad, the emergency phone rang. And that
:05:36. > :05:40.is it. They have gone. The emergency call came in, the 1001th
:05:40. > :05:44.patient. Two St Andrews University students
:05:44. > :05:48.have gone on trial accused of racially aggravated behaviour
:05:48. > :05:54.towards a Jewish student. You rest the National, Hanan Reetblat, here
:05:54. > :05:58.in the middle, told Cooper at cherish 1/4 -- Cupar Sheriff Court
:05:58. > :06:05.that Samuel Colchester and Paul Donnachie called him a terrorist
:06:05. > :06:11.and violated his Israeli flag. You are watching Reporting Scotland.
:06:11. > :06:15.Still to come before 7pm: Changing tales. 1001 nights opens in
:06:15. > :06:18.Edinburgh but it is nothing like Ali Baba.
:06:18. > :06:22.And we are opening a Scottish recipe book that is about to become
:06:22. > :06:25.part of an edible archive. In sport, with less than three
:06:25. > :06:31.weeks until the start of the will be World Cup, Andy Robinson
:06:31. > :06:34.announces his squad of 30, saying the process was not too difficult.
:06:34. > :06:40.And Craig Gordon has a long fight to get back to fitness but still
:06:40. > :06:44.will not give up the battle for Scotland's number one jersey.
:06:44. > :06:48.One shop in nine in Scotland is lying empty according to research
:06:48. > :06:51.published today. Where economic problems in recent years may have
:06:51. > :06:56.made things worse, in many parts of the country, barren high streets
:06:56. > :07:01.have long been a bright on entire communities. Our Government
:07:01. > :07:05.correspondent has been finding out that there are innovative Skuce --
:07:05. > :07:10.schemes to bring new life to old shops.
:07:10. > :07:15.In Motherwell, in parts of Glasgow and in Dumbarton, a site that
:07:15. > :07:19.saddens many. This cross Scotland, one in nine shops are empty. --
:07:19. > :07:27.across Scotland. There was every sort of shop you could have thought
:07:27. > :07:30.of. Now there is nothing. I do not think it is just here. In fact, in
:07:30. > :07:35.Dumbarton, there is a new scheme to help, the first of its kind in
:07:35. > :07:39.Scotland. Two derelict shop fronts have been dressed up to look more
:07:39. > :07:45.appealing. It may seem superficial but already, a national retailer is
:07:45. > :07:49.in talks to occupy one of the units. Meanwhile, in part of Aberdeen,
:07:49. > :07:55.budding entrepreneurs have been given empty shops Renfree for a
:07:56. > :08:00.year. Photographer Steven Bedford snapped up the opportunity. If this
:08:00. > :08:04.project had not come about, there would be no chance we would even
:08:04. > :08:09.contemplate being in a shop unit, so this has advanced our business
:08:09. > :08:19.plan by at least three years, to think about what we do in Dorrans
:08:19. > :08:19.
:08:19. > :08:24.studio and how that can benefit our business. The future of the high
:08:24. > :08:28.street does not lie in taking us back to the 19th century, frankly.
:08:28. > :08:36.The way we live and shop has changed dramatically in the last
:08:36. > :08:40.100 years, in the last ten years. We have to adapt and move forward.
:08:40. > :08:44.In some places, the number of empty shops reflects the state of the
:08:44. > :08:51.local or national economy. But individual businesses are always
:08:51. > :08:54.going to fail and in some places, the problem is the way out-of-town
:08:54. > :08:59.shopping centres and supermarkets took the trade away from the town
:08:59. > :09:04.centre. But the economic situation is not helping. Habitat is the
:09:04. > :09:08.latest famous name to go under. Another hole in the high street to
:09:08. > :09:11.fill. Some of our the other stories this
:09:11. > :09:16.evening: A man who carried out a sex attack on a retired nurse in
:09:16. > :09:19.her seventies is being warned he could face a life sentence. Ryan
:09:19. > :09:23.Liddell, who survived the Dunblane massacre, appeared at the High
:09:23. > :09:27.Court in Edinburgh. A judge told the 20-year-old that befall --
:09:27. > :09:29.before he passed sentence a full risk assessment on him would be
:09:29. > :09:33.done. House prices have fallen back in
:09:34. > :09:37.the last quarter according to Lloyds TSB. The survey suggests
:09:37. > :09:41.despite an upward trend generally in Scotland, between April and July,
:09:42. > :09:45.prices fell back to the level they were at four and a half years ago.
:09:45. > :09:51.It also shows a number of sales well below half the level they
:09:51. > :09:55.reached before the recession began. The body representing local
:09:55. > :10:01.authorities in Scotland, Cosla, is accusing the Scottish Government of
:10:01. > :10:11.refusing to enter into the debate on the future of Scotland's police
:10:11. > :10:14.
:10:14. > :10:20.Old-fashioned policing has been credited with reducing antisocial
:10:20. > :10:24.behaviour and youth crime on a housing estate near Helensburgh.
:10:25. > :10:28.The Churchill estate has been blighted by vandalism, petty crime
:10:28. > :10:36.and youth drinking on streets. So how did the authorities managed to
:10:36. > :10:42.turn things around? This was the Churchill estate in
:10:42. > :10:49.2007. Graffiti, broken windows. One of navy wife told the BBC she was
:10:49. > :10:52.too scared to go out. What were you doing yesterday? Four years on and
:10:52. > :10:56.things are very different. They call it old-fashioned policing,
:10:56. > :11:04.Bobby's back on the beat have coughed crime on the estate by over
:11:04. > :11:09.80%. -- have cut crime. They say your name, hello, P C White. We
:11:09. > :11:15.know them by their first names. It helps build relationships and in
:11:15. > :11:20.the future they will have a trust in us and hopefully vice versa.
:11:20. > :11:26.Ministry of Defence Holt discos for young people. The money raised is
:11:26. > :11:33.used for activities. They know 14 year-olds like Craig by name.
:11:33. > :11:37.have got to know us and have kept us off the streets. They have made
:11:37. > :11:41.the cage down there for football and basketball. It is a carrot and
:11:41. > :11:46.stick approach. Reward good behaviour and were with the parents.
:11:46. > :11:49.I think parents deserve a bit of credit for that and it is something
:11:49. > :11:53.not often highlighted, when you have a success stories such as this
:11:53. > :11:58.one. But for the people here on the Churchill estate is not all good
:11:58. > :12:02.news. The Ministry of Defence have announced they are facing a
:12:02. > :12:05.significant cut in their numbers. There is no suggestion the
:12:05. > :12:11.Helensburgh scheme will be one of those clubs but it does mean its
:12:11. > :12:15.long-term future is uncertain. The Ministry of Defence says it will
:12:15. > :12:22.maintain effective security at all sites, even as spending is scaled
:12:22. > :12:25.back. But at least, naval families heading to this estate for know now
:12:26. > :12:30.officers have found something that works.
:12:30. > :12:33.Trade unions representing workers at Scottish Water -- the Scottish
:12:33. > :12:38.Water have put forward proposals as part of pay negotiations. Talks
:12:38. > :12:42.took place between Scottish Water and unions after GMB and Unite
:12:42. > :12:46.members rejected a pay increase earlier this month. Scottish Water
:12:46. > :12:56.has now agreed to consider a package of measures on pay and
:12:56. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:12.With events in the Arab world In a statement, one of the
:13:12. > :13:22.candidates possibly for the Republican nomination has said that
:13:22. > :13:25.
:13:25. > :13:28.if With events in the Arab world dominating the international news,
:13:28. > :13:31.it is perhaps appropriate that this week should see the opening in
:13:31. > :13:33.Edinburgh of the classic tale A Thousand And One Nights. The cast
:13:33. > :13:36.is drawn from Syria, Egypt, Morocco and Algeria. But don't expect
:13:36. > :13:38.stories of Aladdin or Ali Baba. Here's our arts correspondent,
:13:38. > :13:40.Pauline McLean.The cast is drawn from Syria, Egypt, Morocco and
:13:40. > :13:49.Algeria. They are amongst some of the most
:13:49. > :13:55.famous - - famous stories ever told. But if you're thinking Ali Babak
:13:55. > :14:02.under London, think again. Most of us know the Western version of the
:14:02. > :14:08.stories, but the original stories are much darker and more adults.
:14:08. > :14:14.think people think of them having genies and fantastical characters.
:14:14. > :14:18.But even if the genies have very human qualities and the don't offer
:14:18. > :14:24.you three wishes, they offer you three ways of dying, you know? It
:14:24. > :14:30.is very dark and fascinating. Getting to show stage has been a
:14:30. > :14:40.five-year project for the director, using a caste from across the Arab
:14:40. > :14:44.world. The work is heavily centred in many countries. The Arab spring
:14:45. > :14:50.has affected her practical plans. We were due to rehearse in Egypt at
:14:50. > :14:56.the time when the revolution took place. We had to change to Morocco.
:14:56. > :15:02.We have been dealing with much greater difficulties getting Mark
:15:02. > :15:07.Hunt - - our company visas for the USA, and I'm sure that is a result
:15:07. > :15:09.of the turbulence. The company is determined that the show will go on
:15:09. > :15:15.an Edinburgh and says with continuing turbulence in the Arab
:15:15. > :15:18.world, these are stories that need to be told.
:15:18. > :15:28.Sport now, and it was a case of come on down and join the Scottish
:15:28. > :15:30.rugby squad, Dougie? It was a very flamboyant ceremony!
:15:30. > :15:34.Scotland's head coach, Andy Robinson, has named his 30-man
:15:34. > :15:44.squad to take part in 2011 Rugby World Cup. The Sunderland and
:15:44. > :16:05.
:16:05. > :16:15.Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon Johnnie Beattie is the most
:16:15. > :16:17.
:16:17. > :16:20.For the rugby fans, the whip was finally over. The players were
:16:20. > :16:25.unveiled at the National Museum in Edinburgh, and for once the
:16:25. > :16:31.incidents had to take second place. Was there a sense of relief that
:16:31. > :16:34.the decision-making was over? not relieved at all. I knew today
:16:34. > :16:43.was going to beat the day. The players played very well at the
:16:43. > :16:48.weekend. There were some pleasing performances. So these are the 30
:16:48. > :16:51.men who will go to the World Cup in New Zealand, but just how
:16:51. > :16:56.successful that team be? Scotland will play their first match against
:16:56. > :17:01.Romania, followed by Georgia, Argentina and then the big one
:17:01. > :17:08.against England in Auckland. have got to look at women are group.
:17:09. > :17:14.I don't think it is wrong for me to say that I believe we can do that.
:17:14. > :17:18.After that, anything can happen. One man will be making his 4th
:17:18. > :17:27.appearance at the World Cup and he believes that the Scots can mount a
:17:27. > :17:30.serious challenge. We want to play a quick, open, fast game. We enjoy
:17:30. > :17:37.each other's company and it is a close squad because we have been
:17:37. > :17:43.through such a hard pre-season fears. Hopefully we can make people
:17:43. > :17:51.proud. So, their choices for Andy Robinson have been made its, and
:17:51. > :17:53.the players have to live up to their billing.
:17:53. > :17:57.The Sunderland and Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon admits he
:17:57. > :18:00.has no idea how much longer he will be out of action. He has not played
:18:00. > :18:03.since February because of a knee injury. But Gordon is confident
:18:03. > :18:08.that when he does return he can regain his place both at club and
:18:08. > :18:12.international level. Alasdair Lamont reports.
:18:12. > :18:15.Back at Hampden Park, at the scene of some of his finest moments.
:18:15. > :18:23.Craig Gordon was helping to encourage potential stars of
:18:23. > :18:28.tomorrow. Gordon believes Scotland are producing good players. Perhaps
:18:28. > :18:36.our league is losing some of the players to the championship, mainly
:18:36. > :18:42.due to financial reasons. It is a bigger draw for players to go down
:18:42. > :18:46.to the second year of English football than playing day at SPL. I
:18:46. > :18:49.think the national team has done pretty well in recent times and it
:18:49. > :18:55.think we can be fairly confident the we're heading in the right
:18:55. > :18:59.direction. On a personal level, the direction is less clear. Out for
:18:59. > :19:05.six months with a knee injury, Gordon is positive that he can get
:19:05. > :19:10.back to his best. The first thing is that got to try to returned
:19:10. > :19:14.action! I have got to put myself under position to play some games.
:19:14. > :19:19.Once I'd do that and a field that my body is in the right position to
:19:19. > :19:24.get back, I am still confident in my abilities to play at club and
:19:24. > :19:30.international level. He is in the final year of his contract with
:19:30. > :19:34.Sunderland, and despite being linked to a move to Celtic, he says
:19:35. > :19:37.any decision will have to wait until he is back to full fitness.
:19:37. > :19:39.Uefa have dismissed Rangers appeal against Steven Whittaker's ban for
:19:39. > :19:42.his sending off against Malmo. He has already missed the first-leg
:19:42. > :19:44.against Maribor and will now be suspended for another two European
:19:44. > :19:47.matches. Andy Murray says victory in the
:19:47. > :19:50.Cincinatti Masters tennis gives him real heart going into next week's
:19:50. > :19:52.US Open. Murray secured this rather fetching trophy for the second time,
:19:52. > :19:55.beating the world number one Novak Djokovic in the final. Djokovic
:19:55. > :20:05.retired through injury as he trailed the Scot by a set to love
:20:05. > :20:07.
:20:07. > :20:10.and three games to love. In tennis it is and 11 months year,
:20:10. > :20:20.and that will probably the only match that he pulls out of the hold
:20:20. > :20:25.year. You play most of the you're not feeling perfect. I am hoping
:20:25. > :20:30.that I feel perfect going into the Grand Slams, that is my goal for
:20:30. > :20:35.this year. You need a big mantelpiece for that trophy! This
:20:35. > :20:41.could be his year, couldn't it? With the Novak Djokovic being
:20:41. > :20:46.injured, that is a good thing for him. Andy Murray likes a fast
:20:46. > :20:55.courts. He plays well at the US Open, likes it. Of course it could
:20:55. > :21:00.be his ear. Now we have jinxed him! You may well have had dinner, but
:21:00. > :21:03.how about some sheep's head broth or cormorant soup? You might not
:21:03. > :21:06.find them on today's supermarket shelves, but they were part of
:21:06. > :21:16.menus past and they are about to be revived as part of Scotland's first
:21:16. > :21:20.edible archive. Lisa Summers explains. In the kitchens of some
:21:20. > :21:30.of her trendy restaurants it is becoming quite fashionable. We have
:21:30. > :21:31.
:21:31. > :21:35.got pork faggots on the menu today, which is said traditional dish.
:21:35. > :21:44.the more adventurous diner. But it wasn't long ago that things like
:21:44. > :21:52.sheep's head were regular fare. have got a recipe book that uses a
:21:52. > :22:02.whole sheep! You can imagine the size of the kitchens. How about
:22:02. > :22:08.
:22:08. > :22:15.Take out the brains and allow them to lie all night. We don't think
:22:15. > :22:20.that is for me. Turtle. Cut off the Finn's first, then cut off their
:22:20. > :22:26.head. Not too close to body to prevent the sauce from running out.
:22:26. > :22:33.Seasoned with butter and wine. That sounds disgusting. These are just
:22:33. > :22:36.some of the recipes collated by their Scottish Council on Archives.
:22:36. > :22:46.They are documenting the culinary history of the country. It is the
:22:46. > :22:51.
