0:00:12 > 0:00:16Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news:

0:00:16 > 0:00:19Schools out on St Andrew's Day, teachers vote to strike later this

0:00:19 > 0:00:24month in the first walk out for nearly a quarter of the century.

0:00:24 > 0:00:29Nearly every school in the country will be effective. Ruth Davidson is

0:00:29 > 0:00:33duly elected leader of the Scottish Conservatives and Unionist Party.

0:00:33 > 0:00:38So six months as an MSP and Ruth Davidson is tonight the new leader

0:00:38 > 0:00:40of the Scottish Conservatives. The Prime Minister offers his

0:00:40 > 0:00:45congratulations as we look at the task ahead of her.

0:00:45 > 0:00:53The family whose mother was killed in this train crash forgive the man

0:00:53 > 0:01:00whose mistake caused her death. is the only one there seemed to try

0:01:00 > 0:01:05and help. My family do not hold anything against him.

0:01:05 > 0:01:12And United for a quarter of a century. 25 or glittering years in

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Manchester. Most of Scotland's schools to be

0:01:15 > 0:01:20closed in the first strike by teachers in almost a quarter of the

0:01:20 > 0:01:27century. Members of the EIS have voted for the one-day stoppage on

0:01:27 > 0:01:32November 30th in a dispute over coast changes to pensions.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36-- proposed changes. In just over three weeks, the gates will shut in

0:01:37 > 0:01:41schools right across Scotland. Teachers don't in chalk over

0:01:41 > 0:01:47Government plans to change pensions. The dispute is very much over

0:01:47 > 0:01:50pensions which are part of the salary and remuneration package.

0:01:50 > 0:01:56Clearly, the Government thinks we should have to be greater

0:01:56 > 0:02:02contributions, work longer and get less at the end. Echoes of the

0:02:02 > 0:02:071980s, when teachers and later famous friends to to the streets in

0:02:07 > 0:02:11a dispute over pay. The staggered strikes lasted over a year. This

0:02:11 > 0:02:16time, top of just one day, but will parents hit by tough times

0:02:16 > 0:02:20themselves by it? I will have to miss going to university, it is

0:02:20 > 0:02:25quite important and I have no one else to look after the children.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30will be a nuisance at the time, provisions will have to be made,

0:02:30 > 0:02:37but I agree with it. I have four children, so my kids will miss out

0:02:37 > 0:02:42on education. This much last year in Glasgow, the first sign unrest

0:02:42 > 0:02:46was on the way back. Today, an overwhelming vote for strike. The

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Scottish Government says it is disappointed. We quite understand

0:02:49 > 0:02:53the concern, because the Scottish Government disagrees fundamentally

0:02:53 > 0:02:59with the UK Government about how they are going about the whole

0:02:59 > 0:03:04process of pension reform. But we very much regret that EIS members

0:03:04 > 0:03:08have decided take industrial action. Tens of thousands of primary and

0:03:08 > 0:03:12secondary teachers are set to take action. Even primary head teachers,

0:03:12 > 0:03:18once known for manning the barricades, have voted in principle

0:03:18 > 0:03:24for the strike. November 30th is shaping up to be a date to remember

0:03:24 > 0:03:27for Scottish schools. The former BBC journalist Ruth

0:03:27 > 0:03:32Davidson has been elected as the new leader of the Scottish

0:03:32 > 0:03:37Conservatives. Ms Davidson has only been an MSP since May. She was

0:03:37 > 0:03:41chosen to succeed Annabel Goldie after vigorously opposing Murdo

0:03:41 > 0:03:48Fraser's suggesting that the Tories in Scotland should be disbanded and

0:03:48 > 0:03:52relaunched as a new centre-right party. Glenn Campbell reports.

0:03:52 > 0:03:58The key contenders came to the count one by one. They brought in

0:03:58 > 0:04:03the ballot boxes. Party members had for MS Ps to choose from. To find a

0:04:03 > 0:04:07leader for the party at Holyrood and for the first time, someone to

0:04:07 > 0:04:14lead the wider party in Scotland. Rumours soon spread that Rhys

0:04:14 > 0:04:21Davids and was ahead. -- Ruth Davidson. After several hours,

0:04:21 > 0:04:25victory was indeed her as. declare Ruth Davidson the duly

0:04:25 > 0:04:30elected leader of the Scottish Conservatives and Unionist Party.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34Murdo Fraser was the first of her three defeated rivals to offer her

0:04:34 > 0:04:37a kiss of congratulation. His bold plan to break away from the British

0:04:38 > 0:04:43Conservatives to form a new centre right force for Scotland seems to

0:04:43 > 0:04:46have cost him the job and handed it to a political newcomer.

0:04:46 > 0:04:51campaigned on a platform of change, there is what I need to do to

0:04:51 > 0:04:54change the party to make it a modern fighting force, so we are

0:04:54 > 0:04:57equipped to take on the other parties in Scotland. But there is

0:04:57 > 0:05:01also lot to do in terms of changing the way in which we deliver the

0:05:01 > 0:05:11message as well to people, and that will involve bringing in other

0:05:11 > 0:05:14

0:05:14 > 0:05:18voices. He is the leadership result. -- here is. At this stage, Jackson

0:05:18 > 0:05:24Carlaw and Margaret Mitchell trailed in third and 4th places.

0:05:24 > 0:05:29When they dropped out of the race, and second preferences were

0:05:29 > 0:05:37redistributed, Bruce Davidson finished further ahead. -- Ruth

0:05:37 > 0:05:42Davidson. So, who is the new leader? She is a

0:05:42 > 0:05:47former BBC journalist. Inspired by David Cameron, she joined the

0:05:47 > 0:05:52Tories two years ago. Elected to Holyrood in May, her political rise

0:05:52 > 0:06:01has been rapid. Glenn Campbell joins me now from

0:06:01 > 0:06:06Edinburgh. What does this mean for the Conservatives in Scotland?

0:06:06 > 0:06:09It is surprising in that a few weeks ago, she was certainly not

0:06:09 > 0:06:15regarded as a front-runner and it is surprising in that Tory leaders

0:06:15 > 0:06:18tend to be a bit longer in the tooth. But Ruth Davidson now is the

0:06:18 > 0:06:23youngest leader of any main political party in Scotland, in

0:06:23 > 0:06:30fact, probably the youngest since devolution. And she has a big job

0:06:30 > 0:06:35to rebuild her party and to build a united team around her. Because

0:06:35 > 0:06:41only two of the 15 MSPs at Holyrood other than herself chose to back a

0:06:41 > 0:06:45campaign. I think she will reach out by offering Murdo Fraser a big

0:06:45 > 0:06:49job, he may have a big decision whether or not to take that or take

0:06:49 > 0:06:54a back seat, because he effectively said the party couldn't return to

0:06:54 > 0:07:00victory in its current form. One thing I think he will not do is

0:07:00 > 0:07:05break away, because he knows how hard it is to draw voters-1 centre

0:07:05 > 0:07:07right ballot, presumably it would be harder still if there were two.

0:07:07 > 0:07:12You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come before

0:07:12 > 0:07:16seven: Family and friends of the former trade union leader Campbell

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Christie celebrate his life to of service.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23And in sport, and Neil Lennon tries to get to the bottom of Celtic's

0:07:23 > 0:07:27injury crisis, could it have something to do with their multi-

0:07:27 > 0:07:30million-pound training complex? Ricky Burns weighs in for what he

0:07:30 > 0:07:38says is the biggest fight of his life. All that and Sir Alex

0:07:38 > 0:07:42Ferguson. The family of a Scottish woman

0:07:42 > 0:07:46killed in the D B a much of a high- speed train in Cumbria say they

0:07:46 > 0:07:50hold Network Rail responsible. 84- year-old Margaret Masson died when

0:07:50 > 0:07:55the Virgin Express from London to Glasgow came off the track near

0:07:55 > 0:08:00Grayrigg. Today, an inquest found that a badly maintained set of

0:08:00 > 0:08:06points had caused the crash. It was remarkable that more people

0:08:06 > 0:08:11were not killed. This train had been travelling at 95 mph when it

0:08:11 > 0:08:14derailed. Margaret Masson, and 84- year-old grandmother, died in the

0:08:14 > 0:08:24crash. More than 80 people were injured, including her daughter,

0:08:24 > 0:08:26

0:08:26 > 0:08:33who was at today's verdict. I miss my mother very much. What sort of

0:08:33 > 0:08:36woman was she? A happy woman. She loved her family. A badly

0:08:36 > 0:08:40maintained set of points has been blamed for the crash. The engineer

0:08:40 > 0:08:46who should have checked them, told the inquest he had forgotten to do

0:08:46 > 0:08:50it. David Lewis, seen here at the back of this group, said his team

0:08:50 > 0:08:54was understaffed and under pressure and that he had e-mailed his bosses

0:08:54 > 0:08:58the year before to say the inspection process was a shambles.

0:08:59 > 0:09:08Today, Margaret Masson's family say they did not hold him responsible.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10

0:09:10 > 0:09:16This man was sincere, he showed remorse, and he has more -- much

0:09:16 > 0:09:21respect in my family, we don't hold anything against him. Nobody

0:09:21 > 0:09:25listened to him. The coroner also praised the driver's courage and

0:09:25 > 0:09:29character. He stayed at the controls as it crashed. Weeks

0:09:29 > 0:09:34afterwards, he spoke to the BBC from his home in Dumbarton. There

0:09:34 > 0:09:40was nothing that was going to save the train. I have to try anyway. I

0:09:40 > 0:09:45could not do that sitting with the passengers. This inquest has been a

0:09:45 > 0:09:48chance for Margaret Masson's family to draw a line under what happened.

0:09:48 > 0:09:57Network Rail has apologised, but a family believes the company has a

0:09:57 > 0:09:59lot to answer for. The same network rail but many of her life. -- BBC

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Edinburgh and Aberdeen with Heathrow. BMI have already axed

0:10:45 > 0:10:49and the Cob 30%. A sea eagle has been rescued on the

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Aberdeen jocose. RSPB Scotland was called to a remote cove,

0:10:53 > 0:10:58inaccessible by a man, near police mac after reports of an injured

0:10:58 > 0:11:05bird needing help. The team managed to rescue the tired and wet but

0:11:18 > 0:11:23history. 45 men died when their Sion it crashed off the southern

0:11:23 > 0:11:26tip of Shetland. It was caused by mechanical failure but was an event

0:11:26 > 0:11:32which saw workers begin to stand up for the rights for the first time,

0:11:42 > 0:11:45crashed into the sea of Shetland on November 6th, 1986. These

0:11:45 > 0:11:50helicopters were immediately grounded, but Robert Maxwell tried

0:11:50 > 0:11:56hard to bring them back, even taking a flight himself to prove

0:11:56 > 0:12:02they were safe. We have no trepidation. The crash should not

0:12:02 > 0:12:06have happened. But all life is at risk. Perhaps unsurprisingly, those

0:12:06 > 0:12:13words angered workers. They came together to fight the cause against

0:12:13 > 0:12:17the use of the shindig, and they won. Maxwell was probably the best

0:12:17 > 0:12:24person the could have had to campaign against. It was seen as a

0:12:24 > 0:12:32publicity stunt. By a multi- millionaire. Cool on a day-to-day

0:12:32 > 0:12:38basis, had nothing to do with offshore. As we remember those who

0:12:38 > 0:12:43did not come home, so will we remember those who return. A

0:12:43 > 0:12:51service was held for the fortified man who died. But for the rescue

0:13:03 > 0:13:07a very good condition. We had to go and get them to hospital, but we

0:13:07 > 0:13:15had to wait to make sure there were no other survivors who would pop up

0:13:15 > 0:13:19to the surface. There were no more. 18 months later, came Piper Alpha.

0:13:42 > 0:13:52general secretary of the STUC until 1998, died last week at the age of

0:14:12 > 0:14:18rent and his union subscription. It was the start of a lifetime in the

0:14:18 > 0:14:28trade union movement. Then there it is time for all of us today to say

0:14:28 > 0:14:34goodbye. I want to take this opportunity to say we love and miss

0:14:34 > 0:14:41you delay. You were an inspiring man. He won a beloved grandfather

0:14:41 > 0:14:46and I will miss your loving presence always. Throughout the

0:14:46 > 0:14:53years, he battled to save industries such as Ravenscraig. He

0:14:53 > 0:14:59believed they could prosper if they were only given the opportunity.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05used to get upset at people who were big men in the steel industry

0:15:05 > 0:15:13in Lanarkshire. In their own locality they were big people. They

0:15:13 > 0:15:20were just cast on to the scrapheap. We Ravenscraig was lost and the

0:15:20 > 0:15:27trauma of seeing the heavy industries collapsed forced a way

0:15:33 > 0:15:39and courage to take the lead any civic coalition which transcended

0:15:39 > 0:15:44party structure. Were never great fixers of Scottish politics has

0:15:45 > 0:15:53gone, but Campbell Christie it will be remembered by his substantial

0:15:53 > 0:15:57legacy to public life. Bells ringing across the country, or

0:15:57 > 0:16:03relay runners taking film from cinema to cinema and an open-air

0:16:03 > 0:16:11concert in Stirling. It is just one of 40 events planned to celebrate

0:16:11 > 0:16:20the cultural impact of the London 2012 Olympics. Ringing out the

0:16:20 > 0:16:27start of the 2012 Olympics. That is what artist Martin Creed plants,

0:16:27 > 0:16:30using every bell in the United Kingdom. I do not know what are the

0:16:30 > 0:16:39best ones to play, so maybe it would be best to just ring up all

0:16:39 > 0:16:45of them. From a musical performance inspired by Glasgow's latest museum

0:16:45 > 0:16:53and a football pitch in the forest, there is no shortage of ideas or

0:16:53 > 0:16:58ambition. One of the great ideas is that the festival can come to local

0:16:58 > 0:17:02communities all round Scotland. We can create a programme with

0:17:02 > 0:17:07creative Scotland, in partnership with local communities, much of it

0:17:07 > 0:17:16three, which brings some of that excitement to Scotland to share it

0:17:16 > 0:17:23with the community and sell the country around the world. Not least

0:17:23 > 0:17:27in Stirling, where the children found that even a Venezuelan

0:17:27 > 0:17:32orchestra of which inspired them will come to Scotland. After

0:17:32 > 0:17:39working with the children for four days, they will stage a huge

0:17:39 > 0:17:45outdoor concert. They're coming to work with you. That is how much we

0:17:45 > 0:17:51believe in you. It is people coming to help us become the best

0:17:51 > 0:17:58orchestra we can be. For feels like this are being transformed across

0:17:58 > 0:18:00the country, not for sporting purposes, but for cultural events.

0:18:01 > 0:18:07This one that stuck below Stirling Castle will be one of more than 40

0:18:07 > 0:18:09events taking place across Scotland. No, let us see how the sport is

0:18:09 > 0:18:12looking this evening. Celtic's injury problem could be

0:18:12 > 0:18:15down to the club's training pitch, says manager Neil Lennon. According

0:18:15 > 0:18:19to Lennon, only four or five of his players have remained injury free

0:18:19 > 0:18:29this season. Heel is now faced with mustering a side to face second

0:18:29 > 0:18:32

0:18:32 > 0:18:39placed Motherwell on Sunday. Here is Hooper. He stays on say dance

0:18:39 > 0:18:47scores. Celtic defeated the French state on Thursday, but once again

0:18:47 > 0:18:52they had to do it it with the makeshift side. Looking at the

0:18:52 > 0:18:57surface here, it can be quite slippy when it gets wet. It might

0:18:57 > 0:19:07have contributed to a couple of soft tissue injuries we have

0:19:07 > 0:19:12

0:19:12 > 0:19:20received. It is a terrible back- pass. Inconsistency has been the

0:19:20 > 0:19:27problem for Celtic this season. Players think that the changing

0:19:27 > 0:19:32personnel has something to do with it. No such problems for the

0:19:32 > 0:19:40manager of the month, Motherwell manager Stuart McCall, who play

0:19:40 > 0:19:50host to Celtic on Sunday. Realistically, can we split Celtic

0:19:50 > 0:19:53and Rangers? Probably not. Can we win on Sunday? Yes, we can.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56After a delay of almost three weeks, the Hearts first team squad have

0:19:56 > 0:19:59finally received their wages for October. They had threatened to

0:19:59 > 0:20:02take their case to the Scottish Premier League, but after talks

0:20:02 > 0:20:04with the manager and their union they decided to allow the club more

0:20:04 > 0:20:07time. Ricky Burns has weighed in bang on

0:20:07 > 0:20:10the nine stone nine pounds mark for his WBO Interim World Lightweight

0:20:10 > 0:20:12title fight at Wembley Arena tomorrow night. It is the first

0:20:12 > 0:20:20time the former super-featherweight champion has stepped into the ring

0:20:20 > 0:20:27at his new weight. He takes on Australian Michael Katsidis.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31will be a very hard fight ahead of me. Michael is a great fighter, but

0:20:31 > 0:20:34I have always said that the bet and the opponent in front of me, the

0:20:34 > 0:20:36better I will be. The most successful Scottish

0:20:36 > 0:20:39manager of all time has another reason to celebrate this weekend.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Sir Alex Ferguson, the longest serving boss in the English Premier

0:20:42 > 0:20:45league, will have been charge of Manchester United for a quarter of

0:20:45 > 0:20:55a century. And he says he has no intention of slipping quietly into

0:20:55 > 0:20:55

0:20:55 > 0:21:00retirement. 1986 - Sir Alex Ferguson steps of the team bus for

0:21:00 > 0:21:09his first game in charge of Manchester United. 25 years on he

0:21:09 > 0:21:13is still in charge. It is his silver jubilee. It has been a

0:21:13 > 0:21:19fantastic spell for me. It is something you do not think is going

0:21:19 > 0:21:29to happen. It is amazing that it that has lasted so long and I

0:21:29 > 0:21:32

0:21:32 > 0:21:38appreciate that. He has led the club to a host of championships,

0:21:38 > 0:21:43including two Champions League trophies. Just look all the teams

0:21:43 > 0:21:50he has built. He has brought young players through the development

0:21:50 > 0:21:59programme. I think he is the best manager there has ever been. The he

0:21:59 > 0:22:06has had a few fall-outs with people along the way. He is just one of

0:22:06 > 0:22:11these people that you can never quite read. One day, he can be a

0:22:11 > 0:22:16brilliant worth and the next day, something might have upset him and

0:22:16 > 0:22:24he is completely different. But that is one of his strengths. You

0:22:24 > 0:22:29never quite know what you're going to get next. His reputation has

0:22:29 > 0:22:35given him a few imitators. A few years ago, he announced his

0:22:35 > 0:22:40retirement and then changed his mind. Can we look forward to his

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Golden Jubilee in 2036? Today marked a significant

0:22:43 > 0:22:49milestone for Scotland's only commando unit, as the final four

0:22:49 > 0:22:51marines from 45 Commando completed their latest tour of Afghanistan. A

0:22:51 > 0:22:55the Arbroath-based unit have emerged from the last six months

0:22:55 > 0:22:58without suffering a single fatality - a cause for relief at their RM

0:22:58 > 0:23:08Condor base, as locals were offered their first glimpse at a new

0:23:08 > 0:23:10

0:23:10 > 0:23:18memorial garden. A world away from the heat and dust of Afghanistan

0:23:18 > 0:23:25and, members of 45, and will give people at tour of the my new

0:23:25 > 0:23:29memorial garden. The timing is significant. More than six months

0:23:29 > 0:23:37after the Marines were sent to war, today mark the day the all where

0:23:37 > 0:23:44counted back home safely. We have that some men badly injured, but we

0:23:44 > 0:23:54have not had any fatalities. The fact that it has been a successful

0:23:54 > 0:23:54

0:23:54 > 0:23:59tour has allowed us to come back and reflect on what we have done.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02The cost of previous campaigns is never forgotten. The centrepiece of

0:24:02 > 0:24:12the memorial garden it is this memorial made of granite with the

0:24:12 > 0:24:13

0:24:13 > 0:24:21names of all the people from 45 Commando killed in service. For the

0:24:21 > 0:24:28commanding officer, many of the people where his friends. A very

0:24:28 > 0:24:34good friend of mine got killed in 2001. To see his name up there is

0:24:34 > 0:24:43the massive thing for myself personally. In July, it was

0:24:43 > 0:24:48announced that the command unit would leave their Arbroath visit. -

0:24:48 > 0:24:57- the or Arbroath days, as part of the spending review for the armed

0:24:57 > 0:25:06services. It is a fantastic place for the men to come as part of

0:25:06 > 0:25:14their recovery. For now, at the focus is on the official opening of

0:25:14 > 0:25:23the garden. It is the very fitting place to mark Remembrance Day.

0:25:23 > 0:25:28Let us see what kind of weekend we It is not looking too bad at all.

0:25:28 > 0:25:35We can expect pretty settled conditions over the next few days.

0:25:35 > 0:25:39That will start tonight, we should be clear and cool for most of us.

0:25:39 > 0:25:45For a time, some rain pushing into the Borders and pushing up the East

0:25:45 > 0:25:50Side of the coast. But for the bulk of us, clear and cool, with

0:25:50 > 0:25:55overnight temperatures down to four or five degrees Celsius. Looking

0:25:55 > 0:26:00ahead to tomorrow, we have this ridge of high pressure building

0:26:00 > 0:26:07over Ireland and that will bring us some dry and bright weather. In

0:26:07 > 0:26:13terms of the detail, there will be some mist and fog patches, but a

0:26:13 > 0:26:19pretty good day after that. Across the whole of the country, has

0:26:19 > 0:26:27plenty of sunshine on offer. 10 major ways, roundabout below them

0:26:27 > 0:26:33or 12 degrees Celsius. There will be some cloud around. Further north,

0:26:33 > 0:26:38it is the similar story. High temperatures of 10 are relevant

0:26:38 > 0:26:43degrees Celsius. If you're out hill-walking or claiming, you could

0:26:43 > 0:26:51see some showers to the far north of the region, but elsewhere, dry,

0:26:51 > 0:26:58bright and sunny. In the east, sunny again, but those temperatures

0:26:58 > 0:27:05will be a bit cooler on the top of these hills. If you're out on

0:27:05 > 0:27:15inshore waters, you can expect forced three to four north-westerly.

0:27:15 > 0:27:15

0:27:15 > 0:27:20Over in the East, similar conditions. And good visibility.

0:27:20 > 0:27:26Into the evening, it stays dry and Cam, but it will be a cold night,

0:27:26 > 0:27:31down to freezing for many places. If you're out and about on Saturday

0:27:31 > 0:27:37for Bonfire Night, it should be cool and clear, but you might want

0:27:37 > 0:27:44to wrap up, as it will be a bit chilly. On Sunday, again, dry and

0:27:44 > 0:27:49bright conditions. Temperatures similar to Saturday, eleven or 12

0:27:49 > 0:27:59degrees Celsius. Into next week, there is a low pressure in the

0:27:59 > 0:28:01

0:28:01 > 0:28:04Just before seven o'clock, a summary of tonight's top stories...

0:28:04 > 0:28:06President Obama has told the G20 Summit in France that he has

0:28:07 > 0:28:09confidence in the Eurozone's ability to solve its debt crisis.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12David Cameron is confirmed that he is willing to commit more British

0:28:12 > 0:28:15taxpayers' money to the International Monetary Fund. And a

0:28:20 > 0:28:24an EU rescue package. Most of Scotland's schools could be
