0:00:12 > 0:00:15Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight...
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Anger as a major review of Education says teachers need to
0:00:19 > 0:00:22spend more time in our schools. I think this proposal betrays a
0:00:22 > 0:00:27lack of trust in the teaching profession.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Also tonight... Former Regent -- Rangers Chief
0:00:31 > 0:00:37Executive Martin Bain once a court order to freeze �500,000 of the
0:00:37 > 0:00:41club's assets. I could hear, I couldn't speak, but
0:00:41 > 0:00:47I couldn't see anything. We meet Scottish soldiers injured
0:00:47 > 0:00:50in Afghanistan. And, Celtic or Sion? Who will be playing in the
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Europa League on Thursday night? We will have the latest.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Teachers have reacted angrily to a recommendation they should be on
0:00:58 > 0:01:01school premises from the first thing until the bell rings. It is
0:01:01 > 0:01:06one of the suggestions in the McCormac review into pay and
0:01:06 > 0:01:10conditions. At the moment, teachers can prepare lessons and mark exams
0:01:10 > 0:01:15at home if they have not classes schedule. Unions say changing that
0:01:15 > 0:01:20would show a lack of trust and the profession. The review also
0:01:20 > 0:01:24recommends career-long assessment and training.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29This is what the proposals are all about, insuring Scottish children
0:01:29 > 0:01:34do better at school. It is 3:30pm and the youngsters are
0:01:34 > 0:01:39leaving. Some teachers have been free to leave earlier if they have
0:01:39 > 0:01:430 classes to teach. Current conditions were set ten
0:01:43 > 0:01:51years ago in a landmark deal which gave teachers a significant pay
0:01:51 > 0:01:54rise and, on paper, or working week of 35 hours. Today, Bob -- and
0:01:54 > 0:02:02announced and proposes changes to current working conditions. The two
0:02:02 > 0:02:08is not about cost savings. This is an independent review and
0:02:08 > 0:02:14the recommendations reflect that. Our at the moment, 22.5 hours are
0:02:14 > 0:02:18in the classroom. Teachers spend the other 12.5 on other things like
0:02:18 > 0:02:23marking and preparing lessons, but they do not have to be in school to
0:02:23 > 0:02:32do these. Under today's proposals, the 350 week would become more
0:02:32 > 0:02:39flexible, with longer working some weeks. -- the 35 hour. The deal ten
0:02:39 > 0:02:46weeks ago banned teachers from undertaking routine tax -- tasks
0:02:46 > 0:02:50like photocopying and filing. Attitude -- a teaching union says
0:02:50 > 0:02:52making teachers stay in school for the whole school day is petty and
0:02:53 > 0:02:57mean-spirited. I think this betrays a lack of
0:02:57 > 0:03:01trust in the teaching profession. We built this into the 2001
0:03:01 > 0:03:05agreement that teachers do whatever work appropriate to the time and
0:03:05 > 0:03:11place that it is being done in. There are other tasks they do that
0:03:11 > 0:03:13do not require them to be in school. And this from a recently retired
0:03:13 > 0:03:18teacher with 30 years' classroom experience...
0:03:18 > 0:03:22From the children's point of view, I do not think much will change. I
0:03:22 > 0:03:27think kids will still be receiving high-quality lessons. I think
0:03:27 > 0:03:31teachers, though, the morale, which is already low, will plummet even
0:03:31 > 0:03:36further. This cannot be good in the long term.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39A teachers may well be upset by what is in the report. Some
0:03:39 > 0:03:44employers are upset by what is not. They lobbied for more dramatic
0:03:44 > 0:03:53changes. The extra training taking place during the school holidays,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57and teachers spending more time Martin Bain, the former chief
0:03:57 > 0:04:02executive of Rangers, has won a court order freezing almost
0:04:02 > 0:04:07�500,000 of the Ibrox club's money. He was suing Rangers for damages
0:04:07 > 0:04:11after being sacked by the new owner, Craig Whyte. The Court of Session
0:04:11 > 0:04:16judge said he was satisfied the club faced a real and and -- real
0:04:16 > 0:04:22and substantial risk of insolvency. What was heard in court?
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Mr Bain is claiming �1.3 million for loss of earnings after he was
0:04:27 > 0:04:32ousted when Craig Whyte took over control at Ibrox earlier this year.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37He wants to be sure there is money in the kitty to pay that if they
0:04:37 > 0:04:41are successful. He told the Court of Session that Rangers is
0:04:41 > 0:04:46practically insolvent or verging on it by not paying debts when they
0:04:46 > 0:04:51fall due. There is a claim that �2.3 million is already arrested in
0:04:51 > 0:04:55pursuit of the smaller of two tax bills. The response what -- from
0:04:55 > 0:05:01Rangers was to deny there was any problem with solvency. The runner
0:05:01 > 0:05:05up -- the ruling from Lord Hodge was that Rangers is not insolvent
0:05:05 > 0:05:12but there is a real and substantial risk of it. If that happens,
0:05:12 > 0:05:19Rangers could face a �49 million bill. With that possibility, Lord
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Hodge ruled �480,000 should be set aside while Martin Bain's case
0:05:23 > 0:05:28continues. A Glasgow law firm made similar claims that Rangers was
0:05:28 > 0:05:32unable to -- pay its bills in a successful court action to have its
0:05:32 > 0:05:39fees paid. Where does this leave Rangers?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43These are very destabilising claims for the club.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Craig Whyte says that turning the club's financial position is
0:05:48 > 0:05:52difficult because he is in a goldfish bowl. It is nothing new to
0:05:52 > 0:05:55say that the tax bills could force the club into administration. What
0:05:55 > 0:05:59did happen then is unclear, but the man with the controlling stake has
0:05:59 > 0:06:03been trying to reassure fans Rangers will continue to play at
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Ibrox for a long time to come. Police are launching an
0:06:06 > 0:06:13investigation into the death of a six-week-old baby more than 40
0:06:13 > 0:06:16years after he died. Colin Blair passed away and a Dundee tenement
0:06:16 > 0:06:22in 1968, and now Tayside Police are launching an inquiry after
0:06:22 > 0:06:26receiving fresh information. Our reported and us from dandy. What do
0:06:27 > 0:06:32we know about the circumstances surrounding the baby's death?
0:06:32 > 0:06:39We know that Colin Blair died from 10 at -- in a tenement flat not far
0:06:39 > 0:06:43from here back in November, 1968. Since then, his body has lain in an
0:06:43 > 0:06:47unmarked grave in this cemetery. Police officers and ambulance
0:06:47 > 0:06:54workers have been to that -- were called to the flat around 3pm, but
0:06:54 > 0:06:58were unable to save the infant's life. What has been described as a
0:06:58 > 0:07:01routine investigation was carried out at the time and the cause of
0:07:02 > 0:07:06death included leading with and the baby's skull.
0:07:06 > 0:07:12Why is it being reopened after all these years?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15After the original investigation, the case was closed. The file has
0:07:15 > 0:07:19remained untouched in that time, but it appears that some time in
0:07:19 > 0:07:23the last few months, Tayside Police received new information and have
0:07:24 > 0:07:27decided to reopen the case. They have handed it over to their major
0:07:27 > 0:07:31crimes review team, and it will be their job to decide whether there
0:07:32 > 0:07:36is anything suspicious involved in Colin Blair's death. That will not
0:07:36 > 0:07:42be an easy task, given the passage of time, but the tenement where
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Colin Blair's life ended is no longer there, it was -- it is now
0:07:47 > 0:07:51just an empty space, a landscaped area covered in trees. The officers
0:07:51 > 0:07:54are trying to track down those involved in the original
0:07:55 > 0:08:01investigation and trying to trace paperwork, such as the original
0:08:01 > 0:08:05witness statements. If it turns out there is evidence Colin Blair died
0:08:05 > 0:08:09in suspicious circumstances, it may be the will have to extreme his
0:08:09 > 0:08:13body for investigation, where it has lain undisturbed for the past
0:08:13 > 0:08:1740 years or so. You're watching Reporting Scotland,

0:09:09 > 0:09:12The is, this is great news for Ireland communities like Shetland,
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Orkney and the Western Isles. It will mean about a five pence
0:09:17 > 0:09:21reduction in the cost of diesel and petrol at the pumps. At the moment,
0:09:22 > 0:09:28the price of one leader is around �1.51, about 20p higher than the
0:09:29 > 0:09:32mainland, and just to get some reaction, the convenor of Shetland
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Islands council says it will make a big difference to the economy as
0:09:37 > 0:09:40the cost of fuel drive the cost of everything exported and imported.

0:10:02 > 0:10:07A former student convicted of racism for insulting the Israeli

0:10:12 > 0:10:16returned to Cupar Sheriff Court after being convicted of racism
0:10:16 > 0:10:19last month. Surrounded by reporters, Paul
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Donnachie emerges from Cupar Sheriff Court after -- having
0:10:24 > 0:10:28learned the full consequences of a drunken night that earned him the
0:10:28 > 0:10:36tag of racist. It is a labelled the former St Andrews University
0:10:36 > 0:10:39student is refusing to accept. I gave my opinions in a manner
0:10:39 > 0:10:45which was inappropriate, but that does not make it illegal or racist.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Last month, the court came to a different conclusion, after hearing
0:10:50 > 0:10:55evidence from Mick Napier. The Jewish student, who flew back from
0:10:55 > 0:11:00America for the trial, spoke of being violated and devastated when
0:11:01 > 0:11:07a drunken Paul Donnachie burst into his room and put his hand down his
0:11:07 > 0:11:12trousers before rubbing them on the Israeli flag on the wall. He said
0:11:12 > 0:11:17that Mick Napier was a terrorist. The judge said that nobody disputed
0:11:17 > 0:11:20his right to political protest, what he had done that night, the
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Sheriff told him, had harmed him and his cause.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27It also destroyed a friendship. I once called him a friend and they
0:11:27 > 0:11:33should have been solved with a handshake and bottle of wine,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37however... Paul Donnachie says he intends to
0:11:37 > 0:11:42appeal his sentence, which also include an order to pay his victim
0:11:42 > 0:11:47�300 in compensation. In a statement from New York, Mick
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Napier says he intends to donate that money to the families of
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Israelis killed on the West Bank. Some of the other stories across

0:13:00 > 0:13:07the signature injury of the Afghanistan war. It was a conflict
0:13:07 > 0:13:10sparked by the 9/11 attacked, remembered this month. I have been
0:13:10 > 0:13:16part of a small team given unique access to Scotland's only commando
0:13:16 > 0:13:22unit, to make a programme about the legacy of amputees. In this
0:13:22 > 0:13:28programme we meet Jay, a father of two, who is working to rebuild his
0:13:28 > 0:13:38life. There are scenes of injury in this report. Jay lives in Arbroath
0:13:38 > 0:13:38
0:13:38 > 0:13:46with his wife and two young daughters. He joined the Marines a
0:13:46 > 0:13:56year before 9/11. When he went to Afghanistan in 2008, he was an
0:13:56 > 0:14:01experienced corporal. On foot patrol, his life changed. It was
0:14:01 > 0:14:09unmistakable. The pain had not registered, it was just ringing. It
0:14:09 > 0:14:13was as if the world had slowed down. There was an echo, and the noise. I
0:14:13 > 0:14:21could not see anything, I could hear, and I could speak, but not
0:14:21 > 0:14:26see anything. Watching that footage, what goes through your mind? It was
0:14:26 > 0:14:32upsetting, but I was interested to see what the extent of my injuries
0:14:32 > 0:14:40were. To see what the lads had seen on the ground while I was lying
0:14:40 > 0:14:48there. I wanted to compare how I look them to how I look now. When I
0:14:48 > 0:14:55look at the injuries to my face, that was pretty horrific. Where
0:14:55 > 0:15:01would I start? 10 years ago, military hospitals in Britain were
0:15:01 > 0:15:05closing. This one was a former care centre for World War to pilots.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Today, it is the visual embodiment of what the decade in Afghanistan
0:15:10 > 0:15:14has cost in flesh and bones. All the servicemen and women who lost
0:15:15 > 0:15:19limbs and suffered life-changing injuries come through its doors.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24First they get their prosthetic legs and arms cast, then they
0:15:24 > 0:15:29learned to use them. Then they get routine check-ups. Since he was
0:15:29 > 0:15:37blown up, Jay has made various visits here. From his home in
0:15:38 > 0:15:45Arbroath, it is 1,000 mile round trip. This one is not so bad. It
0:15:45 > 0:15:49was one of the first ones. It is getting a bit loose. The story of

0:16:07 > 0:16:11first city to be involved in the effort to cut their own food waste.
0:16:11 > 0:16:20It used to be you could not leave the table if you did not finish
0:16:20 > 0:16:27your dinner. No we have become a wasteful nation. I do not like it

0:16:35 > 0:16:43not like the tuna fish. Food waste amounts to a staggering 566,000

0:16:50 > 0:16:55then bread. Food recycling already happens in many parts of Scotland,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59but today Edinburgh came on board. Residents here waste over 250
0:16:59 > 0:17:05plates of food and in it. For the first time, those living in
0:17:05 > 0:17:08tenements will be provided with veins. Society cannot afford to
0:17:09 > 0:17:18keep it in her waist in big holes in the ground. It is bad for the

0:17:26 > 0:17:32be recycled. All the waste will be brought to this recycling plant in
0:17:32 > 0:17:39Cumbernauld. It will be put into the shredder and it will decompose.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43It really smells, but eventually it will be put to use. Rather than
0:17:43 > 0:17:47creating a problem for the environment, we can get used two
0:17:47 > 0:17:54product, I'll fertiliser, which has the potential to be used on
0:17:54 > 0:17:57agricultural land, and the gas, which can make electricity and heat.

0:19:00 > 0:19:07have we finally got closer? According to Uefa, yes, according
0:19:07 > 0:19:14to Celtic, yes, according to FC Sion, no. As far as they are
0:19:14 > 0:19:19concerned, they not Celtic out of the Europa League with a 3-1 defeat.
0:19:19 > 0:19:25They appealed against the decision to reinstate Celtic. As far as they
0:19:25 > 0:19:31are concerned, they should be playing Atletico Madrid. I was
0:19:31 > 0:19:40speaking to some of the Celtic fans, who were buying their tickets for
0:19:40 > 0:19:46the games coming up against the the Europa League opponents. It was
0:19:47 > 0:19:54confirmed on the radio that Celtic are confirmed. Was it a worrying
0:19:54 > 0:20:00wait? You are always concerned, about the appeal. I did not think
0:20:00 > 0:20:09FC Sion were going to be successful in their appeal. Celtic are through,
0:20:09 > 0:20:14that is the way it will be. You cannot change it now. UEFA have
0:20:14 > 0:20:18said the game between Celtic and Atletico Madrid will go ahead. FC
0:20:18 > 0:20:24Sion have the option of going to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28We believe they have the option of looking for a provisional measure
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Ulin -- a ruling, which could prevent the game from going ahead.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37That remains unlikely, but having spoken to some of the players, they
0:20:37 > 0:20:40say they are ready to travel to Madrid, play the game. Let us hope
0:20:40 > 0:20:48they are not booked into the same hotel as Celtic. That could be

0:21:40 > 0:21:44Rugby Park. They may have a new challenge to come in -- a new
0:21:44 > 0:21:49challenge to contend with, the weather is closing in. The rain has
0:21:49 > 0:21:54not stopped, it is soggy underfoot, and the weather is coming in from
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Antarctica. Whatever the case, the Scots are in for a tough night.
0:21:59 > 0:22:05will not be unfamiliar with that weather. Rugby is a winter sport,
0:22:05 > 0:22:12so we have dealt with poorer conditions. We can still move
0:22:13 > 0:22:17around this Georgian team. We have to be smart. We must play with the
0:22:18 > 0:22:27wind. The Scots were keeping the ball in hand at training, or trying
0:22:27 > 0:22:32to. One man in particular could have a difficult time. The ball is
0:22:32 > 0:22:37definitely swirling round so it will be a difficult day. I would
0:22:37 > 0:22:47like to back myself in that situation. It will be a difficult
0:22:47 > 0:22:47
0:22:47 > 0:22:54night ahead for the Scottish fans. That is the sport. At least those
0:22:54 > 0:22:59youngsters were well-behaved. We are used to hearing about the Royal
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Bank of Scotland being bailed out. What about the story of how they
0:23:03 > 0:23:12bailed out Bonnie Prince Charlie? This man, John Campbell, kept a
0:23:12 > 0:23:16diary chronicling events in the Jacobite invasion of Edinburgh.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19From the vaults, a precious piece of history. There are vivid
0:23:19 > 0:23:26personal account of how the bank hid their wealth from the Jacobites,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30but then decided they must pay out. The news of the Highland army's
0:23:30 > 0:23:36approach, all the effects of the Bank were packed up, and taken to
0:23:36 > 0:23:41the castle. John Campbell had hidden gold and notes in the castle,
0:23:41 > 0:23:46but the Jacobites demanded payment. He ordered the funds despite a huge
0:23:46 > 0:23:53personal risk. We have an account in his diary walking up the Royal
0:23:53 > 0:24:00Mile waving a white flag. He got the money and gave it to the
0:24:00 > 0:24:07Prince's secretary. With the government holding the castle, John
0:24:07 > 0:24:15Campbell was a goal between, dodging gunfire and burying gold.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21His role was crucial. Without it, the army would not have been able
0:24:21 > 0:24:26to find their mark into England. Now his diary is being reported.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30There is a new interest in this part of our past. His portrait will
0:24:30 > 0:24:37go on display at the National Portrait Gallery, which opens on St
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Andrews Day. Just before the weather, if you were at the
0:24:42 > 0:24:49supermarket on Sunday, did you leave anything behind? Appeared bit
0:24:49 > 0:24:53-- a bearded dragon, type of lizard, was found in the toilets. It is
0:24:53 > 0:24:58being cared for by the SSPCA, who are urging the order to come
0:24:58 > 0:25:02forward and collected. Now the forward and collected. Now the
0:25:02 > 0:25:10weather. It is not as wild and windy. Tomorrow will be quieter.
0:25:10 > 0:25:17There is still some wind. Wet and windy across many central and
0:25:17 > 0:25:24southern parts of the country today, a wind gusting of 60 mph. The wind
0:25:24 > 0:25:29will ease for many of us tonight. The rain is drifting further south
0:25:30 > 0:25:37and easing all the while. Further north, we have an area of low
0:25:37 > 0:25:41pressure. That will produce wind gusts of 50 mph. You can see the
0:25:41 > 0:25:50swirling rain, that will be into Orkney and Shetland. For much of
0:25:50 > 0:25:56the mainland, try and calm. -- dry. In due tomorrow, it will be wet and
0:25:56 > 0:26:00windy across the North. In the south, some sunshine around. As we
0:26:00 > 0:26:07go through the day we have the north and south split. By mid-
0:26:07 > 0:26:14afternoon, say 4:00pm, not too bad. The wind will be much lighter and
0:26:14 > 0:26:21the temperatures higher. We have a legacy of cloud and rain around in
0:26:21 > 0:26:26parts of the Moray Firth. The rest of the afternoon and evening, rain
0:26:26 > 0:26:31across the North will fizzle away, leaving us with a dry night. There
0:26:31 > 0:26:34is a chance of grass frost. Continuing overnight into Thursday.
0:26:34 > 0:26:40We can see the ridge of high pressure building. That will mean
0:26:40 > 0:26:47unsettled conditions. Cast your eye out to the Atlantic, this area of
0:26:47 > 0:26:55low pressure will bring rain on Friday. It will not be too bad on
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Thursday. Very little in the reign of rain. -- in the way of rain. At
0:26:59 > 0:27:03high pressure is well and truly with us on Friday. It will be a wet
0:27:03 > 0:27:10end the week. Tonight, the wind and rain across central and southern
0:27:10 > 0:27:12parts easing, but it will stay windy across the North. Thank you
0:27:12 > 0:27:18windy across the North. Thank you very much for an update. Now the
0:27:18 > 0:27:22summary: the cost of living has risen once again, putting more
0:27:22 > 0:27:29pressure on household budgets across Britain. The rapidly rising
0:27:29 > 0:27:35price of clothes and shoes and energy bills push inflation up.
0:27:35 > 0:27:41Teachers in Scotland are reacting and Billy -- reacting angrily to a
0:27:41 > 0:27:45recommendation baby on premises first thing until the bell rings.
