:00:20. > :00:30.McGaw died just weeks after she had to have her denture surgically
:00:30. > :00:36.
:00:36. > :00:41.removed. It was covered in green slime and fungus. It must have been
:00:41. > :00:44.so awful and she must have been in agony. As an inquiry opens into the
:00:44. > :00:47.old lady's death, campaigners say carers must be aware of the
:00:47. > :00:50.importance of oral hygiene for old people. Also tonight: Two children
:00:50. > :00:51.from the same family remain in hospital having contracted botulism
:00:51. > :00:53.after eating this brand of curry sauce.

:01:18. > :01:21.A woman has told a fatal accident inquiry how her elderly mother's
:01:21. > :01:25.false teeth were found covered in green slime and fungus and were so
:01:25. > :01:30.badly embedded in her mouth they had to be removed in hospital. 87
:01:30. > :01:34.year old Betty McGaw died eight weeks later. She had been a
:01:34. > :01:41.resident in a care home in Glasgow, which at the time was run by
:01:41. > :01:47.Southern Cross. Aileen Clarke's report contains some graphic images.
:01:47. > :01:50.Betty McGaw was a happy lady who left her family. She developed
:01:50. > :01:55.dementia and although the family cared for her themselves at first,
:01:55. > :02:00.it was thought best they should go into this care home. In December
:02:00. > :02:05.the following year, the family noticed she was starting to go
:02:05. > :02:10.downhill and her teeth were badly discoloured. Her teeth were blue
:02:10. > :02:15.and I said something to the carers about it. They said it was the
:02:15. > :02:19.tablets she was on. I told them that she was on these tablets at
:02:19. > :02:24.home and her teeth were not that colour. Her condition deteriorated
:02:24. > :02:29.over Christmas and she was taken into hospital where doctors removed
:02:29. > :02:34.her top denture which was impacted in her gum. It was in a dreadful
:02:34. > :02:39.state. He said he had never seen anything like it. It was covered in
:02:40. > :02:47.green slime and fungus. It must have been vile and she must have
:02:47. > :02:52.been in agony. The first thing the staff did was throat beach on them.
:02:52. > :02:57.Derek McGaw told the inquiry how after she died, his mother seemed
:02:57. > :03:02.to be terrified of anything or anyone touching her mouth. A after
:03:02. > :03:08.visiting her in hospital, she would recoil from us with terror on her
:03:08. > :03:15.face which was awful to see. can only manage -- imagine what she
:03:15. > :03:18.had experienced and been through to get that way. The Procurator Fiscal
:03:18. > :03:23.said to them that it might be suggested that their mother had
:03:23. > :03:28.died because of her dementia and not because of oral hygiene issues.
:03:28. > :03:36.Mrs Miller said absolutely not, mother wasn't eating or drinking
:03:36. > :03:41.because the state her mouth was in. She had been robust and strong
:03:41. > :03:47.before this. They hope this inquiry will result in better dental care
:03:47. > :03:53.in nursing homes. Older people should have an appropriate care
:03:53. > :03:56.plan in place. It should include things like oral hygiene.
:03:56. > :03:59.inquiry continues tomorrow. The emergency services are dealing with
:03:59. > :04:04.a leak of drainage water from an oil handling facility on the Firth
:04:04. > :04:07.of Forth in the South Queensferry area. The leak is in a pipe from
:04:07. > :04:12.BP's Hound Point Terminal. The company says the substance is
:04:12. > :04:22.primarily sea water and there is no danger of an oil leak. Our reporter
:04:22. > :04:24.
:04:24. > :04:29.Lisa Summers is there for us. Lisa, The first thing I noticed when I
:04:29. > :04:39.arrived was this power for a sulphur smell in the air. That is
:04:39. > :04:47.before we arrived just east of the rail bridge. They have vehicles on
:04:47. > :04:51.site. Fish from the Scottish Environment -- people are meeting
:04:51. > :04:56.with the emergency services to decide what to do next. They have

:05:02. > :05:06.work out what environmental impact it might have.
:05:06. > :05:11.And no details are sketchy. Is there any risk to people or the
:05:11. > :05:17.environment? It is too early to say what the
:05:17. > :05:21.outcome of this might be. They have assured us that it isn't an oil
:05:22. > :05:31.leak and it is likely to be it drainage that is used in the

:05:35. > :05:42.balancing of tankers when the... It is not going to be dangerous to
:05:42. > :05:45.public health but there has to be further information given. Two
:05:45. > :05:48.children from the same family remain in hospital after becoming
:05:48. > :05:51.ill with botulism caused by food poisoning. Doctors say the pair are
:05:51. > :05:58.in a stable condition. They're thought to have become infected
:05:58. > :06:03.after eating a Lloyd Grossman curry sauce.
:06:03. > :06:07.The two people with botulism came from the Forth Valley area. They
:06:08. > :06:14.are being treated at a hospital somewhere in Scotland and are
:06:14. > :06:19.stable and improving but face a long recovery. Botulism is a nasty
:06:19. > :06:25.form of food poisoning and very rare in this country. Probably only
:06:25. > :06:31.30 or so cases in the last 30 years. This is where the infection came
:06:31. > :06:35.from. The batch from which it came has been identified and only the
:06:35. > :06:41.jar consumed by the pair who contracted the illness was found to
:06:41. > :06:46.contain botulism. Once the botulism enters the body, it gets into the
:06:46. > :06:51.bloodstream -- bloodstream. It contains muscle movement and
:06:51. > :06:58.creates symptoms like blurred vision come difficulty swallowing
:06:58. > :07:02.and breathing problems. It can be fatal if untreated. It produces
:07:02. > :07:11.paralysis so the early symptoms of blurred vision and double vision,
:07:11. > :07:17.difficulty swallowing and talking. If caught early, the NT toxins are
:07:17. > :07:21.an effective treatment. If not treated, those symptoms go to
:07:21. > :07:30.paralysis of the limbs and if left untreated, death. The Food
:07:30. > :07:33.Standards Agency is asking public to be aware of certain batches.
:07:33. > :07:38.They are warning the public that if they find one, it should not be
:07:38. > :07:44.eaten. You're watching Reporting Scotland

:08:09. > :08:12.from UEFA and Strathclyde Police following an investigation into
:08:12. > :08:18.what's been described as "illicit chanting" by its fans at a recent

:09:15. > :09:22.clarification from Uefa and from the police about these specifics.
:09:22. > :09:27.It could be very damaging and embarrassing for a club that prides
:09:27. > :09:32.itself on the behaviour of its fans. Is there a growing problem with
:09:32. > :09:39.chants and Parkhead? They have a point. They are looking into it at
:09:39. > :09:44.the moment. There is no problem with Celtic Park was so whether.
:09:44. > :09:51.Celtic have people who will shout and say it offensive things about
:09:51. > :09:55.various topics. It happens at every ground. It is not time the first --
:09:56. > :10:02.is not the first time the club has been called to touch. Rangers have
:10:02. > :10:08.had fans banned from travelling. Now it is Celtic's turn to face the
:10:08. > :10:14.music. I think be chanting at Parkhead has been greatly
:10:14. > :10:20.exaggerated in some parts. It is there, there is a core of fans that
:10:20. > :10:29.sing it and until they sort it out, they will always have this problem.
:10:29. > :10:33.They have a heavy fan and they could also damage their reputation.
:10:33. > :10:35.A new driver who drove the wrong way down a dual carriageway has

:14:32. > :14:36.designs have been put on public display this month and the one you
:14:36. > :14:40.can see at the moment on your screen was voted the most popular
:14:40. > :14:47.by the 15,000 or so people who went through the exhibition. It is one
:14:47. > :14:50.or two on the -- one of two on the shortlist and people want more
:14:50. > :14:55.information on the cost of the designs. The final decision will be
:14:55. > :14:58.next month. A referendum could still be held on
:14:58. > :15:04.whether the project should go ahead at all?
:15:04. > :15:05.That is right. It is not popular with everyone. There is quite
:15:06. > :15:13.significant opposition so the Scottish Government raised the
:15:13. > :15:18.stakes a couple of weeks ago buys - - saying funding would only be
:15:18. > :15:25.given if there was a demonstration of public support. A referendum has

:15:29. > :15:37.a winning design how exactly they will show the public support if
:15:37. > :15:39.this project is to go ahead. There has been an 80% drop in the
:15:39. > :15:44.number of foreign language assistants in Scottish schools over
:15:44. > :15:49.the last six years. There are now just 59. The assistants are usually
:15:49. > :15:53.native speakers from Spain, Germany and France to help pupils learn
:15:53. > :16:02.their language. The authorities say the assistants are extras schools
:16:02. > :16:06.can no longer afford. Teaching the conversation and
:16:06. > :16:12.culture of another country. Sometimes through cooking, often
:16:12. > :16:18.pretty lively. Language assistants, a native speakers have, help
:16:18. > :16:28.children learn words that are up- to-date and sound right. Words like
:16:28. > :16:36.
:16:36. > :16:42.pancakes. Care. I used to pronounce it creep. -- crepe. Arts teachers

:16:55. > :17:00.pupils asked me, you are really French? And I reply, yes, I am! And
:17:00. > :17:07.sometimes they are surprised. It is as if they do not know that there
:17:07. > :17:16.is another country. But the number of assistance is in decline. In
:17:16. > :17:21.2006, 284 assistants. Now 59. Down 80%. The part-timers on some �8,000
:17:21. > :17:27.a year will help fully-trained teachers -- who help trained
:17:27. > :17:34.teachers was seen as an extra schools can do without. Took the
:17:34. > :17:38.week Government body that organises placements, it seems false economy.
:17:38. > :17:42.There is the risk we will miss out on business and contracts if we do
:17:42. > :17:46.not have the language and awareness to be able to engage with people in
:17:46. > :17:51.other countries. Learning the languages of the world, that is
:17:51. > :17:59.crucial, so local authorities. But they also say by law they have to
:17:59. > :18:04.balance their books. In tough times, something has got to give.
:18:04. > :18:09.All your sports news now. Scottish football have in did to

:18:22. > :18:27.Michael Viney, and for the first time ever, an Englishman.
:18:27. > :18:33.It is the first time I have been here without getting banned, joked
:18:33. > :18:38.the former England captain this morning. Terry Butcher was inducted
:18:38. > :18:42.into the Scottish Football Hall of fame. When you look at some of the
:18:42. > :18:46.people that were out front, Alex Ferguson for a start, European Cup
:18:46. > :18:50.winners with Celtic and some great Rangers players as well, it is just
:18:50. > :18:56.a marvellous feeling to be standing up there. To be the first
:18:56. > :19:01.Englishman as well as a massive honour. Richard came to Ibrox in
:19:01. > :19:06.1986, the third English import. But his introduction to Scottish
:19:06. > :19:14.football was anything but quiet. When I first came, it was
:19:14. > :19:18.unbelievable. I was suspended by September. Bookings in every Games.
:19:18. > :19:23.I do not think we really realised what it was all about until after
:19:23. > :19:29.we played the first round of games. The manager of Inverness Caledonian
:19:29. > :19:33.Thistle now, Butcher has spent 20 of the last 25 years in Scotland.
:19:33. > :19:38.You can debate whether or not an Englishman should be in Scotland's
:19:38. > :19:42.call a friend, but it cannot be denied that Butcher's contribution
:19:42. > :19:47.to the game in this country has been a colourful one. I have left
:19:47. > :19:53.my mark on Scottish football. Put it that way. One was one of the
:19:53. > :19:57.features on the Aberdeen stadium tour as well. And I have broken my
:19:57. > :20:02.leg, scored own-goals, that a criminal record, but apart from
:20:02. > :20:06.that it has been fantastic! Former Aberdeen player Sone Aluko
:20:06. > :20:09.has begun a trial with Rangers. He left Pittodrie in the summer,
:20:09. > :20:13.stating a desire to live near his family in the Midlands but has been
:20:13. > :20:16.without a club ever since. The Champions League of rugby,
:20:16. > :20:20.Heineken Cup, got under way at the weekend. Scottish teams have
:20:20. > :20:28.struggled in the past but there were signs that Glasgow and
:20:28. > :20:36.Edinburgh can mix with the big boys. Sometimes rugby can be decided by
:20:36. > :20:41.the bounce of the ball. And so it was yesterday as Glasgow beat
:20:41. > :20:46.English side Bath. On Saturday, it was Edinburgh's turn, as they beat
:20:46. > :20:52.London Irish by a point. The Heineken Cup is tough. Both
:20:52. > :20:58.Scottish sides have got off to the perfect start. We were battered for
:20:58. > :21:02.absolutely everything. We gave them too much ball, I do not think there
:21:02. > :21:06.is any doubt about that. They had far more ball than we did in the
:21:06. > :21:11.first of so we had to scramble. Edinburgh won there matched by a
:21:11. > :21:15.single point but victory beats confidence. The capital's side are
:21:15. > :21:23.on the up. All of the games were more or less really tight, bar one
:21:23. > :21:29.or two. Your defence has to be spot on to win games. So from that side,
:21:29. > :21:36.it was very pleasing for us. crowd at Glasgow yesterday played
:21:36. > :21:39.their part. Edinburgh on Friday night could be the catalyst to a
:21:39. > :21:44.winner over the French side. Hopefully I'll win last week will
:21:45. > :21:50.get a few more fans and people to come to support us because that is
:21:50. > :21:55.essentially how you do get in the grounds. So hopefully with that we
:21:55. > :22:00.can swell the numbers this week and hopefully that will help us get
:22:00. > :22:03.another win. Scotland had a disappointing would be World Cup.
:22:03. > :22:09.European wins like these could help banish the blues.
:22:09. > :22:19.News just in, Scotland and 20 ones are in action against Holland and
:22:19. > :22:22.they are 2-1 ahead. -- Under-21s. Well done. We admitted from our
:22:22. > :22:30.report their you receive your own back after last night.
:22:30. > :22:35.Well, not my own BAFTA! But the one for a programme made by the BBC in
:22:35. > :22:39.the summer. It was fantastic and to do. Seven-and-a-half Gallas of life

:22:58. > :23:04.the sea to begin the 2000 mile trip to find a mate. The eel, named Rip,
:23:04. > :23:12.needed a little gentle persuasion. This is Rip. For the past seven
:23:12. > :23:15.years, this tank at my death aquarium has been his home. Rip has
