Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news: | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Proposals for same-sex marriage, now the Church of Scotland joins | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
the opposition to the legislation. Breaking news tonight, the SFA is | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
investigating Rangers chairman Craig Whyte after the club admitted | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
he'd been disqualified as a company director. How strong is your | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
average high street cup of coffee? A survey finds some have six times | :00:36. | :00:46. | |
:00:46. | :00:47. | ||
more caffeine than others. Fi have too much caffeine I do get a bit | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
shaky but in this one I do not find how strong it is. I cannot taste it, | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
I cannot tell. And later in the programme. Rescued after two days | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
stranded by the floods. We hear from the family whose home became | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
:01:14. | :01:15. | ||
an island. Good evening. BBC Scotland has learned that the SFA | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
are investigating Rangers owner Craig Whyte after the club admitted | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
yesterday that he had been disqualified as a company director. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
If they are not satisfied that Whyte falls into their fit and | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
proper person guidelines, they will take action against the club. Our | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
senior football correspondent Chris McLaughlan is here. Chris, what | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
:01:38. | :01:38. | ||
more do we know? He took over the club earlier this year. He is a | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
:01:48. | :01:50. | ||
controversial character. He had been disqualified after being in | :01:50. | :01:59. | |
charge of a company that went into administration. There are fit and | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
proper persons guidelines that the SFA work too. He could be in breach | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
of those if he has been disqualified as a company director | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
in the past five years. The SFA and investigating. The sea have been in | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
dialogue with Rangers and have requested clarification from the | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
:02:38. | :02:42. | ||
club. -- say. What has the reaction been so far? Nothing from Rangers. | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
In terms of possible sanctions there is nothing set in stone here. | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
At the moment this is still an investigation. If Craig Whyte is | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
found to be in breach of the fit and proper persons guidelines then | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
sanctions could be taken. The Fire Brigades Union has called for a | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
thorough investigation into the operation of hydraulic platforms | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
following mechanical failure of one machine during a big fire in the | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
centre of Glasgow earlier this week. A firefighter, suffering from smoke | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
inhalation, couldn't be brought down to safety and was forced to | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
climb down emergency ladders. Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Reevel | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
Alderson reports. It was one of the biggest buyers in Glasgow in recent | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
years. At its height, 100 firefighters were tackling the | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
blaze in a disused warehouse. One firefighter suffered the effects of | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
smoke inhalation but he could not be brought down because of a | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
technical problem. Union leaders say they are concerned. We are | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
concerned about the reliability and suitability of this vehicle. I | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
could take you back five or six years where there have been major | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
breakdowns with them. It is extremely concerning. Strathclyde | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Fire And Rescue Service says that the machines have been successful | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
in taking part in 70,000 incidents since they were introduced. The | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
cost half a million pounds and the Fire Service says they are used so | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
much that intermittent mechanical failures can be experienced but the | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
union is not convinced. The A have been complaining about the use of | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
these platforms since they were first introduced six years ago. | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
They said this could have been a disaster if the firefighter at the | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
top of the platform had collapsed because of the effects of smoke. If | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
that had happened they would have had to send up two more officers to | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
:04:56. | :04:58. | ||
rescue him. The machine in question is being looked at by a fire safety | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
officers and engineers. The Church of Scotland has told Scottish | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
ministers than the law in Scotland should not be changed to allow gay | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
marriages. This comes as the Kirk submits their formal response to | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
the Scottish Government's consultation on the issue. Aileen | :05:15. | :05:24. | |
Clarke has this exclusive report. The Scottish Government -- the | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Scottish Church Today told the Scottish Government it could not | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
support the proposals on the marriage. The believe that marriage | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
should be between a man and woman. We believe that is of supreme | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
importance. Same-sex couples are not disadvantaged legally or | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
financially by not being able to be married. There is therefore no need | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
to rush this forward without a much fuller debate. There are 198 | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
countries signed up to the United Nations and of those only a small | :06:01. | :06:09. | |
10 have explored the issue of same- sex marriage. A Church of Scotland | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
member was dropping in support of traditional marriage at a meeting. | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
The members of the Church of Scotland will be absolutely | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
delighted that the leaders of the Kerkow have given such a clear and | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
unequivocal response to this consultation. It is based on pure | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
biblical guidelines and endorses all the good that marriage has | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
brought traditionally two Scottish families. It is not pleasing | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
everyone in the Turf. One day Minister says he is disappointed | :06:44. | :06:54. | |
and there is a long way to go. The consultation period ends next week. | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland from BBBC. Still to come on the | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
programme: Post Offices are doubling up as florists, and even | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
butcher's shops, we look at how diversifying has helped their | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
survival. In sport: Neil Lennon defends the Celtic captain after | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
the Europa League defeat by Atletico Madrid. And find out why | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
these rugby players are what Shakespeare called marvellously | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
hairy about the face, all that later. The main road to Argyll | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
won't open again until at least tomorrow because of a landslide. It | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
happened this morning at the Rest And Be Thankful, west of Loch | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
Lomond. It's the third time in four years a landslide has hit the A83 | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
and it means long diversions. Our reporter is at the scene. How is it | :07:37. | :07:47. | |
:07:47. | :07:48. | ||
looking tonight? UC the-times in four years. I have been here every | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
single time it has happened. -- You say three times in four years. | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
There has been unusually heavy rain. About one-quarter of the average | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
monthly rainfall has fallen in 48 hours. 80 tons of rock and soil | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
fell down the mountainside. That is the concern now. The mat is being | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
cleared away. Emergency services can get through but safety is a | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
priority. Engineers will do a safety assessment at First Light | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
tomorrow and they will then decide whether the road is safe to open. | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
Diversions at the moment are up to 70 miles at the extreme. This road | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
is a local lifeline. The Scottish Government has spent �700 million | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
on it since the last landslip. Everyone has their fingers crossed | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
that the green light will be given tomorrow morning to get this road | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
reopened. BBC Scotland has learned that four staff at Edinburgh | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
council have been dismissed following uproar into a multi- | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
million-pound housing repair scam. -- Following approach. Around 14 | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
other members of staff have been suspended from work while | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
investigations are carried out. A separate police inquiry is also | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
continuing. At Holyrood de First Minister faced his opening round of | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
questions but with the Labour leadership contest entering its | :09:30. | :09:39. | |
final phase, who is best placed to counteract Salmond and the SNP? | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
know he is on the way out! He is indeed but who will replace the | :09:45. | :09:55. | |
:09:55. | :09:56. | ||
Labour leader to tackle Alex Salmond? Here are the main leaders. | :09:56. | :10:06. | |
To one Lamont counts union support among her advantages. -- Joanne | :10:06. | :10:16. | |
:10:16. | :10:17. | ||
Lamont. She says she is ready for Alex Salmond. It is not about | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
having a personal debate with Alex Salmond and to can be loudest and | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
strongest? It is about battling ideas and it is about two futures | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
for Scotland, either inside or outside the United Kingdom. | :10:33. | :10:43. | |
:10:43. | :10:45. | ||
Mackintosh says he can appeal to the next generation. -- Ken. He | :10:45. | :10:54. | |
says he will not get sidetracked by Alex Salmond. People are worried | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
about their jobs, pay freezes and employment. That means ignoring | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
Alex Salmond, it is not about them. Tom Harris at Westminster, he says | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
Labour need a complete overhaul to avoid their relevance. He will | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
confront Alex Salmond, albeit from a distance, for now. He idea of | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
that party being led from Westminster is not new, Alex | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
Salmond did it. I am eager to get stuck into Alex Salmond's nonsense | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
about independence. I think the majority of Scots want to believe | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
in a future for Scotland that is within the United Kingdom. There is | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
a board for union members and affiliates and one third will be | :11:47. | :11:57. | |
parliamentarians. A new ministerial post is being created by the | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
Scottish Government to tackle youth unemployment. The role will come | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
with �30 million to reduce the number of young people out of work | :12:08. | :12:16. | |
in Scotland. The new minister will not be a member of the Cabinet. The | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
amount of caffeine in the coffee from high-street coffee shops they | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
the sixfold according to research by Glasgow University. Some call | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
fees were so high in caffeine that just one Cup exceeded the amount | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
recommended for pregnant women in one day. Over the last decade or so | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
the number of coffee shops has exploded. There are now more than | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
14,000 of them in the UK. But do you know exactly what you are | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
drinking? Glasgow University researchers found a huge difference | :12:53. | :13:02. | |
in the caffeine hit you would get from 20 different coffee shops. It | :13:02. | :13:11. | |
is based on an espresso with 50 milligrams of caffeine. Starbucks | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
has 51 milligrams and cost a 157 milligrams. An independent | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
patisserie had a whopping 322 milligrams. Did the customers know | :13:22. | :13:32. | |
:13:32. | :13:35. | ||
Would it surprise you if I told you it was six times stronger than some | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
of the other coffees you could get around here? Really? That is good | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
coffee. I like it. So you do not mind it being very strong? No, I | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
like strong coffee. If I have too much caffeine I do get a bit shaky. | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
But this one, I do not taste how strong it is. You cannot sell. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
much caffeine is dangerous to unborn babies but researchers say a | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
pregnant women have no idea how much they are drinking. They should | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
not have more than 200 milligrams of caffeine per day, which is | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
supposedly four cups of coffee. Our data shows that if you went to a | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
certain coffee houses, you could get that and more with one shot of | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
espresso. Are the owners of this cafe told me there were surprised | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
by the high levels of caffeine, but did use a good quality been. Costa | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
said their analysis suggested caffeine levels were lower but | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
decaffeinated drinks were always available. | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
Some of the other stories: A fatal accident inquiry has heard that a | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
teenage girl who it fell to her death in an apparent suicide pact | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
was the victim will sustain bullying. 14-year-old Georgia Rowe | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
and Neve Lafferty, 15, died after falling from the Erskine Bridge in | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
2009. For both were residents at the good shepherd care home in | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
Renfrewshire. To order's key worker, Elizabeth Wilson, told the inquiry | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
the teenager may have felt that staff could not protect her. | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
The threat of strike action by ScotRail train drivers has been | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
lifted after a union reached an agreement on overtime working. | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
Trains have been cancelled. For ScotRail will employ an extra 32 | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
drivers next year and the union Aslef will allow its members to | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
continue working on their rest days. Susan Boyle is among the nominees | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
for next year's Grammy awards. The Blackburn born singer is nominated | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
at the -- in the best traditional pop vocal category in The Gift. The | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
winner will be announced at a ceremony in Los Angeles on February | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
12th. Post offices in Scotland are | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
becoming more scarce. If you want a stamp, you might end up looking in | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
a florist, a garage or even a butcher's shop. It is all part of a | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
strategy for to help post offices diversify and survive. | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
A bunch of flowers with your book of stamps. They are all for sale | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
under the same roof. This might seem an unlikely mixture but it is | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
proving popular. I have looked at the market conditions and like | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
every retailer, trade is not what it used to be. I do not think | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
traders can just relied on operating their core businesses. | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
This for me was an opportunity to reinvent my business to attract a | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
lot more retail. Shops like this can benefit from having a post of | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
is on site because it gets people through the door. Customers come | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
into use the post office and then have a look around to see what else | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
they might buy. Times are tough on the high street and every little | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
helps. Here in Sky this post of his doubles up as a garage. It is | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
working well for the business and the community it serves. But not | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
everyone is doing so well. Post offices are being forced to change | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
fast. It is deteriorating. People are using e-mails instead of | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
letters. Consequently, the postal service reduces. They are using | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
cash machines, not coming into the Post Office. Could we lost the TV | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
licences. The end result, a rapid fall in the number of post offices. | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
12 years ago there were almost 2000 across Scotland. By last year, it | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
was just over 1,400, a fall of about 50 each year. Now up | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
partnership is seen as the key to reversing that decline. We have | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
seen our customer profile changed. Customers are able to do so many | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
things in so many different ways now, rather than just go to the | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
Post Office. So it is vital we help to maintain post offices, whether | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
in rural villages or in high street locations. Back at the florists, | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
business is brisk and the postal service, in decline for years, may | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
have found a way to grow again. The sport. | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
Neil Lennon has sprung to the defence of the Celtic captain Beram | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
Kayal. Beram Kayal appeared to duck to avoid being hit by the ball in | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
last night's Celtic Europa League game against Madrid -- Atletico | :18:38. | :18:47. | |
Madrid. When it came, the strike that sank | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
Celtic has a duck to thank for finding the net. The strike was | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
made all the more clinical by Beram Kayal getting out of the way. | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
think it was misjudged. He could not do much about it. He did his | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
best, a split-second reaction. Ultimately that was the difference | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
between the two sides. The visitors came closest first. But buoyed by | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
recent domestic form, Celtic turned the screw. Samaras, though took the | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
best of the opportunity. He was not the only one with hair in hands, | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
his player was stretchered off after twisting his ankle. Early | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
indications are it is not as bad as first feared. Celtic chances kept | :19:34. | :19:44. | |
:19:44. | :19:44. | ||
coming. Just after Cooper thought he had levelled. But he was flagged | :19:45. | :19:54. | |
:19:55. | :19:56. | ||
offside. The replay showed he had no complaints. The result sends the | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
Spaniards through. Celtic must now travel to Italy in two weeks to | :20:01. | :20:10. | |
secured their place in the last 32. St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
will serve a one-match touchline ban after being found guilty of | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
misconduct. He was reported for an offensive gesture here in his first | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
game in charge against Rangers at Ibrox. | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
Scotland's head coach Andy Robinson is hoping to increase his headline | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
backroom staff by bringing in someone with international | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
experience, only after the Six Nations competition ends in March. | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
Robinson says he remains totally committed to the site though he is | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
one of the four runners to manage the British and Irish Lions on | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
their tour in 2013. It is hypothetical. One of my goals is to | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
create as many Scottish lines as possible. For the tour in 2013. -- | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
Scottish Alliance. So I am challenging players to become | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
British Lions. It is December 1st and lots of | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
sports men and men in general are breathing a sigh of relief because | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
they can at last shave off their moustaches. The facial hair they | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
have grown throughout the month of November to raise awareness of | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
men's health issues and raise cash, too. Glasgow Warriors even made | :21:27. | :21:37. | |
:21:37. | :21:56. | ||
sporting a moustache compulsory. We decided we were going to support | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Movember, a charity which tries to raise awareness for prostate cancer | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
and the general men's health issues. That is a brown moustache. Your | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
hair is red! I did not think Ginger facial hair was good. I used some | :22:11. | :22:20. | |
