:00:15. > :00:17.Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news:
:00:17. > :00:21.Amid the chaos in Libya, the Scottish authorities say they've
:00:21. > :00:30.lost contact with the Lockerbie bomber. One victim's father says
:00:30. > :00:35.he's worried for Megrahi's life. think he's at great risk of being
:00:35. > :00:39.assassinated by the by the incoming rebels or perhaps being snatched by
:00:39. > :00:42.an American special forces team. The Deputy Prime Minister tells us
:00:42. > :00:43.he wants to see Megrahi back behind bars. Also ahead in tonight's
:00:43. > :00:47.programme: The calamitous modifications to
:00:47. > :00:50.this boat which led to the deaths of three fishermen.
:00:50. > :00:54.Rubbish reviews - just how well do festival shows clean up after
:00:54. > :00:58.themselves? And as Rangers' new Americans fly
:00:58. > :01:07.in and fly the flag, UEFA throw out a claim the club illegally fielded
:01:07. > :01:09.one of them in last week's Europa As fighting continues in the Libyan
:01:09. > :01:14.capital, Tripoli, Scottish officials are still trying to
:01:14. > :01:18.establish the fate of the Lockerbie bomber. Abdel Basset al-Megrahi has
:01:18. > :01:21.been in the city since the Scottish government freed him two years ago.
:01:21. > :01:26.Part of the terms of his release was that the local council where
:01:26. > :01:28.Megrahi's family last lived had to maintain contact. Our home affairs
:01:28. > :01:38.correspondent, Reevel Alderson, is outside the headquarters of East
:01:38. > :01:41.
:01:41. > :01:44.It does seem odd that one of Scotland's smallest local
:01:44. > :01:48.authorities should be tasked with keeping tabs on the country's
:01:48. > :01:53.biggest mass murderer, but al- Megrahi, although freed from prison
:01:53. > :01:57.just over two years ago, remains on life licence and subject,
:01:57. > :02:01.theoretically at least, to recall to prison if he breaches the terms
:02:01. > :02:08.of that licence, which do include keeping in regular contact with
:02:08. > :02:13.officials here. But it is clearly a far from easy task to keep in
:02:13. > :02:18.contact with a man like al-Megrahi in the chaos which is Tripoli.
:02:18. > :02:21.The situation in Tripoli remains far from stable. Forces loyal to
:02:21. > :02:26.Colonel Gaddafi are clashing with insurgents and there are now
:02:26. > :02:31.reports of looting and lawlessness. In the midst of this, a Scottish
:02:31. > :02:37.nurse is working in a clinic in the city. Over the last 24 hours we
:02:37. > :02:45.have probably had our worst experiences. Yesterday we had about
:02:45. > :02:52.10 victims of a gun battle, which was very unnerving. We had rebels
:02:52. > :02:56.using our compound. I have got a bullet hole in my bedroom window.
:02:56. > :03:00.In the calm of the West Lothian town of Linlithgow, Dr Jim Swire,
:03:00. > :03:04.who lost his daughter in the Lockerbie bombing, is now concerned
:03:04. > :03:08.about the man convicted of murdering her. I think he is at
:03:08. > :03:14.great risk of being assassinated either by the rebels or being
:03:14. > :03:18.snatched by an American special forces team. But if he escapes that,
:03:18. > :03:23.the question will be, how will the rebels, when they are victorious,
:03:23. > :03:27.deal with him? I fear they will hand him over to the Americans.
:03:27. > :03:30.Megrahi was last seen a month ago attending a pro-Gaddafi rally. East
:03:30. > :03:36.Renfrewshire council officials are supposed to keep in regular contact
:03:36. > :03:40.with him but they have not spoken to him since August VII and are now
:03:40. > :03:44.desperately trying to contact him. -- August 8th. We are satisfied he
:03:44. > :03:48.has been in Tripoli and up until now there has not been any problem,
:03:48. > :03:52.but clearly it is a war zone there and we will continue to try to
:03:52. > :03:56.reach him. The UK have no diplomatic presence in triply so
:03:56. > :04:02.they can't help trace him, but the Deputy Prime Minister insists that
:04:02. > :04:07.Libyan should never have been released. My personal view it is I
:04:07. > :04:11.would like to see al-Megrahi behind bars. Whatever you think, he was
:04:11. > :04:15.convicted in a court of law for one of the most atrocious terrorist
:04:15. > :04:19.acts this country has ever seen. But at the end of the day, this is
:04:19. > :04:22.an issue for the Scottish government and them alone.
:04:22. > :04:26.Scottish government says it was Westminster which sought to foster
:04:26. > :04:31.relations with the Libyan dictator. In was under Scottish government
:04:31. > :04:37.that was dealing with Colonel Gaddafi, it was the British
:04:37. > :04:40.government. It was British ministers who glad handed him with
:04:40. > :04:44.in the desert and elsewhere. The Scottish government followed the
:04:44. > :04:48.rules and regulations that would apply to any prisoner, up
:04:48. > :04:52.irrespective of their nationality and the crime they committed.
:04:52. > :04:55.the hunt for McGraw he continues, it is hoped the eventual fall of
:04:55. > :04:59.Gaddafi will lead to new information being discovered which
:05:00. > :05:04.may shed further light on the Lockerbie conspiracy.
:05:04. > :05:14.When we hear that al-Megrahi's family was in contact, of what was
:05:14. > :05:14.
:05:14. > :05:17.the extent of that? East Renfrewshire in last spoke to Mr
:05:17. > :05:22.McGahey on August 8th and over the last two years they have been in
:05:22. > :05:26.regular contact. I asked what this regular contact means, weekly,
:05:26. > :05:30.monthly, and the councils say it is up to them, he has to be available
:05:30. > :05:35.for them to speak to him. That is why they are relatively reactor --
:05:35. > :05:40.relaxed at this stage about his whereabouts. They understand the
:05:40. > :05:43.situation in Tripoli and so far, they say, he hasn't yet breached
:05:43. > :05:46.the conditions of his licence. Thank you.
:05:46. > :05:49.Police in Perth have detained a 36- year-old man in connection with the
:05:49. > :05:52.death of a 26-year-old, named locally as Sandy Kelly. Mr Kelly
:05:52. > :05:56.was found lying seriously injured with stab wounds in the town's Bute
:05:56. > :05:58.Drive last night. He was taken to Perth Royal Infirmary where he died
:05:58. > :06:03.a short time later. The 36-year-old was detained this afternoon and
:06:03. > :06:05.police inquiries are continuing. An inquiry has found that a string
:06:06. > :06:10.of "calamitous" modifications contributed to the deaths of three
:06:10. > :06:14.men in a fire on a fishing boat in Fraserburgh. Fire alarms had been
:06:14. > :06:24.switched off and a fire door left open on the Vision 2 when a heater
:06:24. > :06:24.
:06:24. > :06:28.set alight three years ago. Kevin The aftermath of the fire which
:06:28. > :06:32.killed three people and though nothing obvious can be seen from
:06:32. > :06:36.the quayside, on board the devastation was extensive. Today's
:06:36. > :06:40.report concludes it started when events in a fan heater became
:06:40. > :06:45.blocked. Many other failings were highlighted, but this industry
:06:45. > :06:49.representative says much has already been done to improve safety.
:06:49. > :06:55.We did several things immediately. We wrote a code of practice which
:06:55. > :06:59.we hope everybody will pay attention to. We placed the
:06:59. > :07:03.greatest emphasis on risk assessment and we have a new safety
:07:03. > :07:07.officer. These foreign workers were in Fraserburgh harbour when the
:07:07. > :07:12.fire happened. Sleeping on boats had become commonplace, but safety
:07:12. > :07:15.procedures did not reflect that. The report found a fire door on
:07:15. > :07:20.board the Vision 2, which would have slowed the spread of the fire,
:07:20. > :07:23.had been hooked open. It found an escape hatch had been seized up and
:07:23. > :07:27.there had been no it inspection programme to spot that and the
:07:27. > :07:32.power to the fire alarm system had been turned off. A routine practice
:07:32. > :07:35.when ships were tied up. The Vision 2 is at sea now with the skipper on
:07:35. > :07:40.board, but I spoke to him briefly this afternoon by satellite phone.
:07:40. > :07:44.He told me he felt he had done nothing wrong three years ago and
:07:44. > :07:49.had bought the boat in good faith. He described what happened as
:07:49. > :07:53.simply a tragic accident. In fact, both these organisations, the
:07:53. > :07:57.report says, had become confused about who was responsible for
:07:57. > :08:01.inspecting certain areas of the vessel which included heaters. As a
:08:01. > :08:06.result, neither was doing it, a situation we are now told has been
:08:06. > :08:11.rectified. The Vision 2 is now a very different boat with a fresh
:08:11. > :08:15.lick of paint and modifications inside. Modernisation which this
:08:15. > :08:18.industry says has happened across the fleet.

:08:43. > :08:48.for Hearts as they prepare to face some of these men after last week's
:08:48. > :08:51.5-0 drubbing by Spurs. Scotland's prosecutors and police
:08:51. > :08:55.forces are being criticised for failing to do more to stamp out
:08:55. > :08:58.racist hate crime. It follows the refusal by the crown office to
:08:58. > :09:02.investigate failures in a case involving the killing of an Asian
:09:02. > :09:05.delivery driver. Scotland's top policemen are also facing pressure

:09:48. > :09:54.last decade of the number of charges for race crime in Scotland.
:09:54. > :10:03.According to the Scottish government, between 2000 and 2001,

:10:16. > :10:19.driver Simon San to die. He attacked Mr San outside his Chinese
:10:19. > :10:23.takeaway. Tonight it has emerged the Crown Office and the family's
:10:23. > :10:28.lawyer have different account of exactly when he made racist
:10:29. > :10:31.comments about Mr San. The Crown Office says there was insufficient
:10:31. > :10:35.evidence to charge him with a racially motivated attack, which
:10:35. > :10:40.could have meant a longer prison sentence. The pressure is mounting
:10:40. > :10:43.on the Crown to make the details public. I think we need full

:11:11. > :11:15.fell badly and injured his head. It was at random and minor assault,
:11:15. > :11:19.although consequences were severe. But after the inquiry, it was
:11:19. > :11:24.forced to concede mistakes had been made. The concern tonight is that
:11:24. > :11:27.without having held its own investigation, how confident can
:11:27. > :11:35.the Crown Office believe that its processes don't also need updating
:11:35. > :11:38.to prevent others suffering like the family of Simon San.
:11:38. > :11:41.Public bodies such as the NHS, colleges and local authorities are

:11:43. > :11:47.The Scottish Public Services Ombudsman says it upheld too many
:11:47. > :11:53.complaints last year and the NHS is the worst offender. Our health
:11:53. > :11:58.correspondent, Eleanor Bradford, is here now.
:11:58. > :12:00.Specifically, what are the problems? The problem is that the
:12:00. > :12:04.Scottish public services ombudsman should be their last stop when you
:12:04. > :12:08.have a complaint. What you should do, what you have to do, is go to
:12:08. > :12:11.the relevant public service first, go through their complaints
:12:11. > :12:16.procedure. If they were handling these complaints correctly, you
:12:16. > :12:23.would expect very few to get as far as the Ombudsman. But the ombudsman
:12:23. > :12:27.told us today that unfortunately, that is not the case. We are up
:12:27. > :12:31.holding 34% of the cases that come to us and that is far too high. We
:12:31. > :12:36.are the last stage people come to with complaints and I would expect
:12:36. > :12:40.that number to be somewhere around 10% to and did cent and the most.
:12:41. > :12:45.That means far from getting things right first time, a lot of local
:12:45. > :12:51.authorities are getting things wrong first time. What can be done
:12:51. > :12:54.about this? If we take the worst offender, the NHS, of all the
:12:54. > :12:59.complaints that reached the ombudsman regarding the NHS, half
:12:59. > :13:02.of those were upheld. The ombudsman has recommended that in the case of
:13:02. > :13:07.the NHS and everyone else, they take these complaints more
:13:07. > :13:11.seriously so they can learn lessons. But with the NHS, there has been a
:13:11. > :13:14.debate for about a decade about whether it should move to a no-
:13:14. > :13:20.fault compensation scheme, the idea being that would speed up the
:13:20. > :13:24.complaints process and make the NHS less reluctant to say sorry. A
:13:24. > :13:34.report decided it was a good idea, but we are still waiting for the

:20:30. > :20:36.process and did all the right stuff to make sure an eligible to play. I
:20:36. > :20:43.cannot worry about that. I am confident with Rangers. It is not a
:20:43. > :20:48.big deal for me. Obviously, they SFA contacted UEFA up on Thursday
:20:48. > :20:53.to say that Carlos could play. We're happy with that. This
:20:53. > :20:58.afternoon UEFA throughout the complaint on a technicality - it

:21:24. > :21:29.leg against their tie against Sion. Their distinctive leisure wear made
:21:29. > :21:34.them easy to spot -- easy to spot amongst their holidaymakers at
:21:34. > :21:41.Glasgow airport today. He still could not score against enjoy is in
:21:41. > :21:46.a few days ago. But there assistant manager is not worried. We want to
:21:47. > :21:51.be an attacking team. If we do not score goals, we need to keep a
:21:51. > :21:55.clean sheet. Defensively we had not been bad. Even if we had not scored
:21:55. > :22:01.for a couple of games, we have the confidence to know we're good
:22:01. > :22:07.enough to go forward. Celtic's tie with Sion is delicately balanced
:22:07. > :22:15.but we cannot see the same for the hardest on him was burnt game.
:22:15. > :22:21.Spurs are up five nil up after the game yesterday. -- Hearts versus
:22:21. > :22:26.Tottenham Hotspur game. We did so well on the first leg, it has given
:22:26. > :22:31.me a chance to rest most of the players that I can rest. I have
:22:31. > :22:38.made lots of changes. Anyone who is fit and has not played it will play.
:22:38. > :22:44.I will try round up a few more bodies to play.

:23:14. > :23:23.have to avoid this one. The Italian a Eduardo Molinari is defending the
:23:23. > :23:29.crown he won their 12 months ago. He birdied the last three holes. He
:23:29. > :23:34.made Colin Montgomery's Ryder Cup squad. Last year there was a lot of
:23:34. > :23:38.pressure because of the tournament and because of the Ryder Cup, so
:23:38. > :23:44.this year and there is only the tournament to play for her. I am
:23:44. > :23:53.defending so there is a little bit more pressure. I really like this

:24:26. > :24:36.but it would be lucky -- lovely to contend again which means a top-ten
