:00:13. > :00:23.Time -- Hello and welcome to the programme.
:00:23. > :00:27.The headlines: Celtic could be in more trouble with you's football
:00:27. > :00:31.authorities after fans unveiled this banner and set off smoke bombs
:00:31. > :00:34.in Italy. I do not think they are supporters. They are not supporting
:00:34. > :00:40.the club. They are not doing the club any good.
:00:40. > :00:44.Also, the teenage army cadet who drowned stuck under a boat. She was
:00:44. > :00:49.trapped for 90 minutes before anyone noticed she was missing. Her
:00:50. > :00:53.family welcome news that a man will face criminal charges.
:00:53. > :00:57.Join me in Glasgow where the Christmas party season is well
:00:57. > :01:00.underway. It is the big -- busiest night of the year, and the
:01:00. > :01:08.emergency services are worried we will overdo it.
:01:08. > :01:11.And it shouldn't happen to a vet. and James Herriott, and I am a vet.
:01:11. > :01:15.Scollan's role in shaping the life of James Herriott.
:01:15. > :01:19.Neil Lennon has launched a scathing attack on a group of Celtic fans
:01:19. > :01:25.after incidents at the club's East Europa League match in Italy last
:01:25. > :01:30.night. After being a finger in -- thing on Monday for an earlier
:01:30. > :01:34.instead, some supporters unfurled an obscene banner wells up others
:01:34. > :01:40.watched small flowers. They now need to wait to see if UEFA will
:01:40. > :01:44.impose further sanctions. Celtic flew back into Glasgow just
:01:44. > :01:50.a couple of hours ago. Straight into an unwanted storeman caused in
:01:50. > :01:56.part by the Spanish. This and the setting off of fire -- flares are
:01:56. > :02:02.will be included in Uefa's report. These actions have not gone down
:02:02. > :02:06.well. One or two or three silly little boys doing what they did is
:02:07. > :02:11.unacceptable to the club. What can you do to try and stand beside?
:02:11. > :02:16.are going to go on the front foot. We're going to beat these guys out,
:02:16. > :02:20.we know who they are and we will deal with them. We will involve the
:02:20. > :02:22.fans' organisations to get the fans to self discipline. Celtic
:02:22. > :02:28.supporters have enjoyed a previously good relationship with
:02:28. > :02:32.Uefa, winning awards for their behaviour in Seville. What the club
:02:32. > :02:37.feel as a renegade minority has recently become more visible and
:02:37. > :02:41.audible. Despite continued pleas from within. I do not think they
:02:41. > :02:45.are supporters, really. They are not supporting the club. They are
:02:45. > :02:50.certainly not doing the club any good. They're not doing the team
:02:50. > :02:53.any good. I would hope that there are a group who will police these
:02:53. > :02:58.guys, and make them think again before they do stupid things like a
:02:58. > :03:02.dead last night. Celtic feel that those fans actions detract from a
:03:02. > :03:09.credible performance which none the less ended with Celtic exiting the
:03:09. > :03:14.new rock elite. But how do these matters set with fellow supporters?
:03:14. > :03:18.I do not know. They should not be allowed to do it, but I do not
:03:18. > :03:22.think there is much they can do about it, really. If we get another
:03:22. > :03:27.fine for that, what is the point of travelling all of that way just to
:03:27. > :03:32.do stupid things like that? I do not take any offence to it. I think
:03:32. > :03:37.they are right to express their opinion. Celtic have already acted
:03:37. > :03:45.to band -- to ban for life Ross Connolly, the man they see is
:03:45. > :03:48.responsible for the banner and assaulting a steward.
:03:48. > :03:52.An army major is to appear in court charged in connection with the
:03:52. > :03:57.death of a teenage girl four years ago. Cadet Kaylee McIntosh from
:03:57. > :04:00.Aberdeen Show was 14 when she drowned in a boating accident while
:04:00. > :04:06.on a training exercise on South Uist. Her family have welcomed the
:04:06. > :04:09.news that George McCallum is to face criminal charges.
:04:09. > :04:16.Cadet Kaylee McIntosh was just 14 when she died on a training
:04:16. > :04:19.exercise. It happened in South Uist in August 2007. She was trapped
:04:19. > :04:23.under the boat for 90 minutes before it was noticed that she was
:04:23. > :04:29.missing. She had been wearing the wrong type of white jacket and was
:04:29. > :04:31.pinned beneath the boat. The report blamed poor planning and bad
:04:31. > :04:34.equipment and human error for her death. The findings of a fatal
:04:34. > :04:38.accident inquiry have outlined a range of failures.
:04:38. > :04:40.The boat was overloaded and in weather conditions at the time,
:04:40. > :04:43.operating beyond its design capacity.
:04:43. > :04:45.There was no head count or roll- call.
:04:45. > :04:49.call. There was no safety adviser for the
:04:49. > :04:53.duration of the camp. There were no duration of the camp. There were no
:04:53. > :04:58.reliable radios on any of the vessels on the track. We believe
:04:58. > :05:02.there must be criminal charges to give our daughter the justice he
:05:02. > :05:06.deserves. We also have to make sure that the Army duly does will learn
:05:06. > :05:10.the lessons, and most of all, to make sure that nothing like this
:05:10. > :05:18.can ever happen again. And no other parents have to go through what we
:05:18. > :05:24.are suffering. There was a massive turnout for Tiley's funeral. The
:05:24. > :05:29.army has apologise for their feelings. -- a large turnout for
:05:29. > :05:33.cadet Kaylee McIntosh's field. The Mackintosh family's lawyer say
:05:33. > :05:40.they welcome news of a court appearance. They have been through
:05:40. > :05:44.a lot, the Abbey's remaining accident investigation report, and
:05:44. > :05:49.a two-week fatal accident inquiry. They have been through several
:05:49. > :05:53.legal proceedings, so I think they very much view this as a further
:05:54. > :05:58.step towards justice, and hope like a step towards the end stage as far
:05:58. > :06:04.as they are concerned. Today, the Crown Office would only say that a
:06:04. > :06:10.51-year-old man is to appear at the sheriff court next week.
:06:10. > :06:15.Tomorrow, the Scottish Labour Party will elect its new leader. Joe and
:06:15. > :06:18.Lamont, who is expected to win the contest, says she will beat Alex
:06:18. > :06:22.Salmond. Ken Mackintosh says that Labour needs to start listening to
:06:22. > :06:31.the people and not themselves, well the third candidate, Tom Harris,
:06:31. > :06:36.admits he has no chance of winning. It was the stuff of a Labour
:06:36. > :06:42.nightmares. Last May's Holyrood elections saw constituency after
:06:42. > :06:45.constituency turn from red to SNP yellow. Labour lost in the cities,
:06:46. > :06:50.the towns and villages. They lost in the schemes and the shires
:06:50. > :06:54.amongst Women, men and young and old, rich and poor, Catholic and
:06:55. > :07:01.Protestant. Little wonder they were trashed. The job of the new leader
:07:01. > :07:05.is not so much recovery as resuscitation. The current deputy
:07:05. > :07:09.leader, Johann Lamont, is a favourite to win. Is she someone
:07:09. > :07:13.that Alex Salmond and the SNP should fear? I can beat Alex
:07:13. > :07:17.Salmond. I would not stand for this job if I did not believe that. I
:07:17. > :07:20.believe that the Labour Party want to serve the people of Scotland and
:07:20. > :07:27.have a very strong message about building the economy and insuring
:07:27. > :07:34.people about prosperity. Macintosh was a rare Labour success
:07:34. > :07:37.story in May. He won what seemed to be a safe Conservative seat. If the
:07:37. > :07:42.party are to succeed in the future, he believes it is time to start a
:07:42. > :07:47.new conversation with the people. A BT is trying to, not just trust
:07:47. > :07:54.ourselves but to get the Scottish public to trust us once more.
:07:54. > :08:01.about their weight, their futures. As an MP, Tom Harris has always
:08:01. > :08:05.been the outsider in this contest. Can he win? My guess is no. But we
:08:05. > :08:09.need to re-examine what we are here for. We need to say something that
:08:09. > :08:13.is relevant to the Scottish people. We have not been saying anything
:08:13. > :08:18.relevant for years. All contenders represent seats in or around
:08:18. > :08:22.Glasgow. This traditional stronghold voted SNP, too. The
:08:22. > :08:30.captain the political momentum from Alex Salmond would be the greatest
:08:30. > :08:39.challenge for the new Labour leader. You are watching Reporting Scotland,
:08:39. > :08:42.still to come: as Edinburgh Zoo's new pan doesn't go on public
:08:42. > :08:46.display, be asked why so many people are fascinated by this
:08:46. > :08:51.potential killer. And since board, we are talking to
:08:51. > :08:54.the Hearts director about the club's financial problems.
:08:54. > :08:57.Do not miss that exclusive interview. He will also hear up
:08:57. > :09:03.from the world's number one golfer about his love for the Scottish
:09:03. > :09:07.Open. Pubs, clubs and restaurants across
:09:07. > :09:11.Scotland will be keen to next when workers the length of the land let
:09:11. > :09:15.their hair down at the office party. The volume of people and quantity
:09:15. > :09:20.of alcohol expected to be drunk bring obvious pressures from every
:09:20. > :09:26.one to beat an odyssey services to taxi firms. Our correspondent is in
:09:26. > :09:30.Glasgow city centre now. Around 150,000 people are expected
:09:30. > :09:34.to hit the streets of Glasgow this weekend as part of their annual
:09:34. > :09:38.Christmas bash. For most of them, the worst they will do is perhaps
:09:38. > :09:44.in sold their boss, perhaps than sunny bar table or even embarrass
:09:44. > :09:47.themselves at karaoke. -- insulted their boss. However, there is a
:09:47. > :09:51.serious message. There is the fear that too much alcohol will be too
:09:51. > :09:54.much to handle. This is the start of the night that
:09:55. > :09:59.can fuel office gossip for at least the next year, and it is just
:09:59. > :10:05.getting dressed up. We will head down the town and go for a few
:10:05. > :10:11.drinks. We are going to a cocktail bar for a few drinks. There are
:10:11. > :10:18.those to benefit from this annual booze up. The buzz is so good, I
:10:18. > :10:23.cannot even express it. We are all dedicated for around 600 people.
:10:23. > :10:33.In Edinburgh's George Street, the party is also well underway. We are
:10:33. > :10:37.going to get plastered exclamation points we're going for a meal.
:10:37. > :10:40.Special chef just for tonight. It will be a good night.
:10:41. > :10:50.It is a night to have fun, but some people just do not know when to
:10:50. > :10:55.stop. That is what makes it the busiest night of the year four hour
:10:55. > :10:58.emergency services. That is where this SOS bus comes in. It will hit
:10:58. > :11:02.the streets of Glasgow tonight for the first time to help drum or
:11:02. > :11:08.injured people. It will allow us to deal with people who might become
:11:08. > :11:12.victims, who need a bit of help. It will allow us to get immediate
:11:12. > :11:15.access to other agencies who can help them. It will allow it her
:11:15. > :11:19.officer to get on with telling people -- dealing with people who
:11:19. > :11:24.may be breaking the law. It will be staffed by volunteers from the Red
:11:24. > :11:28.Cross who can deal with minor injuries. We're hoping that people
:11:28. > :11:33.who may have had an injury from a trap or fall can be treated without
:11:33. > :11:37.going to the local hospital. Hundreds of thousands of people
:11:37. > :11:42.across Scotland will hit the town tonight. For those who overdo it,
:11:42. > :11:46.the emergency services will be on hand. The men -- the message is,
:11:46. > :11:52.have fun but you know your limits. The emergency bus you saw in the
:11:52. > :11:56.film is part of a four-month pilot project. It will be based in the
:11:56. > :12:01.city centre from around 10pm till 4am. It is not just for people who
:12:01. > :12:04.have had too much to drink, but also for those who are perhaps
:12:04. > :12:08.emotional distress or even victims of domestic abuse. Strathclyde
:12:08. > :12:13.police say they will have extra officers on the streets to keep
:12:13. > :12:16.people safe. They say they do not want to spoil the party, but just
:12:16. > :12:21.want us to enjoy ourselves are sensibly.
:12:21. > :12:24.Some of the other stories across Scotland this Friday: and 84-year-
:12:24. > :12:28.old woman suffered serious injuries after the ambulance in which she
:12:28. > :12:32.was taken to hospital crash on the outskirts of Aberdeen.
:12:32. > :12:37.She is in a stable condition after the accident. One of the paramedics
:12:37. > :12:42.suffered a cut to his head while his colleague had been no injuries.
:12:42. > :12:46.A group of Shetland fishermen have been ordered to pay back almost �3
:12:46. > :12:50.million in proceeds of crime. They admitted their part in a multi-
:12:50. > :12:55.million-pound fishing scam. The 17 men admitted illegally landing the
:12:55. > :12:59.mackerel and herring by evading EU legislation on fishing quotas.
:13:00. > :13:05.The street in Galashiels was closed for almost four hours today after a
:13:05. > :13:11.bus and a car collided. The 38? Female car driver was freed by
:13:11. > :13:21.firefighters and taken to hospital. The vested in the town's Mill was a

:13:27. > :13:31.have at last been allowed in to see Edinburgh Zoo's giant pandas. But
:13:31. > :13:41.what is it about these massive, and extremely dangerous animals, that
:13:41. > :13:44.
:13:44. > :13:50.makes so many of us see them as cute and cuddly toys?
:13:50. > :13:58.My name is Andy Maclean. I cannot say why I love them. They're just a
:13:58. > :14:03.beautiful animals. Andy officially opened the new
:14:03. > :14:13.enclosures to the public today. His affection for the animals have ever
:14:13. > :14:14.
:14:14. > :14:23.is a far from rare. They're fantastic.
:14:23. > :14:29.I just absolutely adore them. Why are they so popular with
:14:29. > :14:34.humans? After all these are potential Keller's.
:14:34. > :14:44.Yes, you forget that they are back, feels bails. You would not under

:14:58. > :15:06.for some reason we tend to forget that.
:15:06. > :15:12.Wonderful looking, very playful when young, not that feels to begin
:15:12. > :15:16.with, all these things are stacked in their favour.
:15:16. > :15:25.Thousands of people have already booked in to see the bails before
:15:25. > :15:29.the end of the Year. -- see the pandas.
:15:29. > :15:36.It is a traditional Christmas feature but pantomime is also a
:15:36. > :15:44.part of the cultural economy. For many theatres it is a way to build
:15:44. > :15:50.up interest and plan. The tradition dates back centuries. It is a
:15:50. > :15:55.regular festive retreat for many families. But it is also a vital
:15:55. > :16:01.investment for theatres like the pavilion. Jim Davidson a used to
:16:01. > :16:07.run the biggest production company in the country.
:16:07. > :16:11.For some theatres it is their only income during a four-week period.
:16:11. > :16:17.Here at the Pavilion it runs for seven and a half weeks. It is very
:16:17. > :16:22.popular but it is organised chaos. But it is a chance for theatre
:16:23. > :16:28.owners to recoup a lot of money. You can do two show was paired Dave.
:16:28. > :16:35.You cannot do that with stand-up comedy.
:16:35. > :16:42.The problem for smaller theatres is that even when they sell out they
:16:42. > :16:48.do not make money. We are always completely packed out.
:16:48. > :16:51.It is an opportunity for families. What is important is that it is
:16:51. > :16:55.often the very first of theatre experience for young children - so
:16:55. > :17:01.we wanted to be magical and for them to remember it for the rest of
:17:01. > :17:06.their lives. That is why hopscotch theatres take
:17:06. > :17:10.their shows into schools. The sets are far from lavish and they keep
:17:10. > :17:19.it simple but they can introduce pantomime to a new audience for as
:17:19. > :17:23.little as �2 per head. You can tell which ones are
:17:23. > :17:27.terrified and which ones are having a great time! Two young boys the
:17:27. > :17:33.other day told us it was the funny thing had ever seen. It is quite a
:17:33. > :17:37.compliment! That is the ultimate goal - an
:17:37. > :17:46.audience which falls in love with theatre at a young age and keeps
:17:46. > :17:50.coming back again and again. Heart of Midlothian players have
:17:50. > :17:56.lodged a complaint with the Premier League over of the repeated late

:18:01. > :18:06.One club director however has broken the club's media ban to

:19:12. > :19:18.at the situation. Serious business people?
:19:18. > :19:22.We have had chance of discussing with many people. Some of whom were
