Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight, the man jailed for | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
murdering an Asian waiter on Orkney appeals his conviction. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Troubled times ahead for this Scottish bank, as its owners review | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
operations. What will it mean for jobs and for call -- for customers? | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
And it's a try for England! Dan Parks quits international rugby | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
following Saturday's Calcutta Cup defeat. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
All and the sport of angling may be dominated by men, but we find out | :00:44. | :00:53. | |
why it is the women who land the biggest fish. We are very patient. | :00:53. | :01:02. | |
We will take a work time and we seemed to catch more fish away. | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
A former soldier, described as "vicious and evil" by a judge for | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
the murder of an Asian waiter, has begun an appeal against his | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
conviction. Michael Ross was just 15 when he shot Shamsuddin Mahmood | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
:01:22. | :01:23. | ||
at point-blank range in an Orkney restaurant in 1994. It was a summer | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
evening in 1994 in the Indian restaurant in Kirkwall was busy. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
Amass gunmen came in and shot Shamsuddin Mahmood at point blank | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
range. This scene-of-crime video shows a bowl at all on the wall. | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
This is the man convicted of the murder. Michael Ross was found | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
guilty in 2008. At the time of the killing, he was just 15. He was | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
sentenced to 25 years in jail, but at the end of the trial he tried to | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
escape court. Today, he is that the Court of Appeal in Edinburgh | :02:05. | :02:14. | |
challenging his conviction. It centres around come things out for | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
work at the original trial. He says that certain evidence put forward | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
by the police should not have been admitted and he was therefore | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
denied a fair trial. He it was 14 years after the death of Shamsuddin | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
Mahmood that he was convicted. Tutors at the original trial heard | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
he was a race is to sort out one of the few Asian people on the island. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
The tax authorities have taken Hearts Football Club to court again, | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
over an unpaid tax bill. The Edinburgh club has eight days to | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
respond or face the threat of liquidation. Our business | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
correspondent David Henderson is here with the latest. | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Yes, yet again, Hearts are slow in paying their taxes. And yet again | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
they are being dragged through the courts. If they cannot get the cash | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
together, the effect could be devastating. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
The tax authorities are threatening to liquidate the club. They say | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
this is the last resort and unless bills are paid within ten days, | :03:15. | :03:25. | |
:03:25. | :03:27. | ||
they could break up Hearts and sell off the pieces. Business-as-usual | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
question mark well, it is on the pitch, but off it, the players must | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
wonder what the future might hold. Time and again, their wages have | :03:39. | :03:49. | |
:03:49. | :03:51. | ||
not been paid and time and now it a tax bill threatens the very future. | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
The financial situation is as it is. It is then let that we do not know. | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
If someone had come in and told us the situation it would be much | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
clear. The club owner from Lithuania is a rich man, but he has | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
:04:22. | :04:22. | ||
had a habit of being hard to amount to pay his bills. He it is not a | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
good sign that things were not going well financially. Hearts are | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
not the only person feeling the pressure over tax. Tottenham | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
manager Harry Redknapp is in court just now accused of taking bungs | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
and avoiding tax. The Rangers' owner is also facing the same type | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
of questions. In a all days, football clubs were very much left | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
alone. But they are very much in the forefront now. They are now | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
looking into the arrangements as regards tax trusts. There are also | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
even looking down to the margins of we're cleaner's have been paying | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
their tax properly. Hearts have told the BBC they have | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
paid off part of this latest tax bill and plan to pay off the rest | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
of it before the deadline tenders from now. -- ten days from now. | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
They have done it before and are confident they can do it again. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
By all this is a high risk strategy and some will ask, if money is not | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
a problem, why are they leaving it so late? | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
You are watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
programme... Taking to the waves - how | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
Scotland's lifeboats rescued more than 800 people in 2011. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
And in sport, just days after losing their opening Six Nations | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
match to England, the man blamed by some for the defeat quits | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
international rugby. We will also catch up with Andy | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
Murray on a rare visit home to Scotland. | :05:52. | :06:02. | |
:06:02. | :06:04. | ||
And we are in Miami with an Olympic medal hopeful. All that coming up. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
The Australian owners of the Clydesdale Bank are launching a | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
radical review of the business. There are fears it could lead to | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
substantial job losses or even the sell-off of hundreds of branches. | :06:15. | :06:24. | |
Bosses say bad debts and zero growth have forced the move. | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
Founded a way back in 1838, the link has been central in Scotland. | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
Any trading statement, the owner said their frustration with banking | :06:37. | :06:47. | |
:06:47. | :06:53. | ||
The bank will need to be a smaller bank going forward. I think we | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
could expect to see some slimming down, some cutting of costs, like | :06:58. | :07:08. | |
what we have seen with many other banks. The Clydesdale and Yorkshire | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
banks have 340 branches and 8,000 staff throughout the UK. The | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
company say nothing is been ruled out at this review, it would appear | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
that job losses may be inevitable. Which do not know any of the facts | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
:07:38. | :07:41. | ||
yet. We do not really know what the review contains. The parent company | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
has enough problems of its own back home in Australia and it may seem | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
that they do not want the Clydesdale Bank to be dragging them | :07:50. | :08:00. | |
:08:00. | :08:10. | ||
down with it. Who put on a wig and make-up and posed as an elderly | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
woman to steal �11,000 from her bank account. It was part of an | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
elaborate fraud. It has been carried out by a very callous | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
individual who has preyed on am really vulnerable lady and robbed | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
her of a large sum of money. In the space of a few days, the thief went | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
into several different Royal Bank of Scotland branches withdrawing | :08:38. | :08:48. | |
:08:48. | :08:52. | ||
more than �11,000 in total. dressed up to do this? Yes, he did | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
this, presumably because he was holding a bank card which had a | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
woman's name on it. The rulers, do not take anything at face value and | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
double check everything. The police are keen to get any information | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
which may help them in this case are many other similar case. And | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
their messages, no matter how plausible someone appears, do not | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
ever give out your PIN number. A millionaire property developer | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
accused of assassinating his brother has been telling his trial | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
about how their business relationship began to sour. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Mohammed Siddique and two Bulgarian men all deny murdering Toby | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Siddique at a flat in Glenrothes which the brothers owned. The High | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Court in Edinburgh was told the brothers' business relationship | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
went bad after Toby became involved in illegal activities. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
Over the past decade, thousands of Scottish troops have fought in | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
Afghanistan. There are still more than 9,000 British troops based | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
there, but now they are responsible for a much smaller area. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
Now the emphasis is on developing the country in the run-up to the | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
:10:07. | :10:08. | ||
British withdrawal 2014. Military commanders have always talked about | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
teeth three-pronged strategy here. They want to push back the enemy, | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
all back the ground that you have already won and then bring back the | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
infrastructure. After years of fighting, they are saying that in | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
some parts of Helmand, that strategy is beginning to work. This | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
was once one of the most dangerous areas. The children have never | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
known Afghanistan without fighting or foreign trips. This is their | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
brand new school built within the last six months. Security is much | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
improved in this part of Afghanistan. Soldiers from the | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
Black Watch will patrol. The district governor talks about the | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
need to provide every three things to every be a people after years of | :11:01. | :11:11. | |
:11:11. | :11:12. | ||
fighting. In needs to be seen to come from the Afghan government. | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
The things that we are familiar with them a community level or been | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
:11:26. | :11:27. | ||
talked about. It is the average person is security for their family | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
and the ability to earn money to pay for food and other essentials. | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
When people see that quality of life beginning to happen, we're | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
hoping it will have that domino effect around the area. The units | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
will continue to patrol areas of damp of Afghanistan for another two | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
years, it only then be clear of the exit strategy has worked. | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
A look now at what else has been happening across the country this | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
Tuesday. Cannabis plants worth �100,000 have been found in a house | :12:14. | :12:23. | |
near Lyneham. These two recent incidents have led to the recovery | :12:23. | :12:33. | |
of more than �200,000 worth of cannabis. Special measures to | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
ensure that military personnel can adapt it back to civvy street are | :12:40. | :12:48. | |
being introduced in Dumfries and Galloway. A national campaign was | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
launched in Aberdeenshire against the number of vessels which are | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
fishing under a flag of convenience. The Inverness military tattoo is | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
ending after 60 years. They say that many military units are either | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
being disbanded it up or are on military duty. The theme of the | :13:14. | :13:23. | |
Edinburgh Science Festival lobby a mix of sport, technology and dance. | :13:23. | :13:29. | |

July. You can keep up-to-date with all these stories and the BBC | :13:56. | :14:02. | |

Scotland's lifeboats rescued more than eight hundred people last year. | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
According to the RNLI 2011 was one of the most demanding years on | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
record, with the recent storms forcing some crews to launch in | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
hurricane conditions. Our reporter Andrew Anderson has been out with | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
the busiest crew in Scotland. Patrolling the river, the lifeboat | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
crew were the busiest in Scotland last year called out more than 100 | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
tonnes. Books like these on the Scottish coast rescued more than | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
800 people in 2011. People like Stephen and his family. They found | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
themselves stranded on an island when the boat broke its anchor line. | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
They do not know until they get on the boat what they are going to. It | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
could be a major incident they are required for. It's a beautiful calm | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
day to day and the lifeboat crews have to be prepared in any | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
conditions. Those conditions can be horrendous. This kind of weather | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
has been a challenge for the lifeboat crews recently. Hurricanes | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
and gales will not stop them. were six or seven significant gales, | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
but Crewe go out in all weathers. People forget the wind is that | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
strong and it is very cold. course most of the crews of | :15:33. | :15:43. | |
:15:43. | :15:45. | ||
volunteers. On call every hour of every day. | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
102-year-old twin sisters from Fife have been recognised as the world's | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
oldest living twins by the Guinness Book of Records. Edith Richie and | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
"Evie" Middleton, were born on a farm in 1909, near Newburgh, when | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
King Edward the Seventh was on the throne. They now live together in a | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
care home in Ellon in Aberdeenshire. Edith says her secret to long life | :16:00. | :16:10. | |
:16:10. | :16:12. | ||
is "Simple living, hard work and a good husband." My wife is already | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
102! Big trouble now. Now tonight's | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
sport and the story behind Dan Park's shock retirement. Just three | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
days after losing their opening Six Nations match against England - the | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
man who's taken most of the flack for the defeat has quit. Stand-off | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Dan Parks is retiring from international rugby with immediate | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
effect. And the national team coach Andy Robinson says he's made the | :16:33. | :16:42. | |
right decision. Jane Lewis reports. Dan Parks last appearance in a | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
Scotland jersey, and fortunately it was not his best. Parkes won 67 | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
caps admits he was thinking about hanging up his boots before the Six | :16:52. | :17:02. | |
:17:02. | :17:09. | ||
On reflection, after the game and talking It Over, I have come to a | :17:09. | :17:18. | |
decision at now is the right time to retire. Coming down to that kick, | :17:18. | :17:26. | |
the phase before that and things leading up to it, the criticism he | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
has come under is pretty harsh. has scored 266 points in his | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
Scotland career but his decision to retire is the right one, says the | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
Scotland head coach. I think partly because of an Australian background | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
and partly because sometimes he had the odd howler, we all did, the | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
fans never have brought in to him. Robinson it names the team for | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
Sunday in Wales tomorrow. This man will not be part of it. | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
Andy Murray says his coach Ivan Lendl will make sure he doesn't hit | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
a form slump the way he did last year after the Australian Open. | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Murray got to the semis this year playing some of the best tennis of | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
his life. Last year he got to the final but then hit a real dip. He | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
spoke to our reporter a short while ago during a rare visit home to | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
Scotland. Good evening from Scotland where | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
Andy Murray and family will be quizzed by a live audience this | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
evening. Let's talk to the man himself. Have you had a chance to | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
reflect on your tournament at the Australian Open? Is your best | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
tennis? I think so. I have not watched the match but from the | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
reaction I have had from people, everyone has been very supportive. | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
It was a great match. It could have gone either way. It did not quite | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
go mind. Hopefully it will be a stepping stone. Your hopes for the | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
rest of the year, can you get the Grand Slam in 2012, you have a new | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
coach? It is a huge year. Lots to look forward to. The last the years | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
I started well and had a tough period. I will work hard in the | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
next few days and make sure I do not have a slump. I am looking | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
forward to the rest of the year. I even has been a great help so far. | :19:29. | :19:38. | |
It should be good. -- even Lendl. And you are trying to get kids | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
active in sport. Yes, it is something the whole family loves | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
sport since we were kids. Me and Jamie used to play everything from | :19:50. | :19:58. | |
golf, tennis, squash and rugby. I love boxing. It is something that | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
is really important for kids to stay active and my mum has lots of | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
experience in how to deal with kids that play sports to a high level. | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
She has done a good job with centre. Have fun with that and I had the | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
questions are better than mine. I have to its hand back to the studio. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
The first Scot to be selected for Great Britain at London twenty | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
twelve is being tipped as a possible gold medallist. The sailor | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
Luke Patience from Rhu in Dunbartonshire is having a | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
remarkable year - that's why The team GB sailing manager is | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
predicting great things for him and also why Rhona McLeod went to Miami | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
:20:44. | :20:48. | ||
This is Miami, famous for Art Deco, Centre's, dogs in costumes, beaches, | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
palm trees and more dogs in costumes. Miami is also a Necker | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
for sailing and it's here we find the future Olympian Luke Patience | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
he began his career in Dunbartonshire. This is my office, | :21:04. | :21:14. | |
:21:14. | :21:16. | ||
look at it. Fantastic. I do not take it for granted. Welcome to | :21:16. | :21:26. | |
:21:26. | :21:26. | ||
sailing. This is Stewart, this is my crew. She has performed well for | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
us. It is like Formula One on water. Built to go fast and race. It is | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
not about comfort or pleasure. It is a rough and fast ride. It is wet | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
and exciting. He is training in Miami for London 2012. Yes, the | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
first Scot to be selected. I had no idea. It's a great privilege. There | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
are not many of us in Scotland. We are a minority. To be one of the | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
few is fantastic. I am very proud. They have had a fantastic year. | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
Rarely have they been off the podium. They have a good chance of | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
delivering a medal in the summer Olympic Games. I am certain they | :22:14. | :22:23. | |
And if you liked that you'll love Sport Nation on BBC Two at seven | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
o'clock. You can always tape the one show. There's more Luke | :22:28. | :22:37. | |
Patience in Miami, Andy Murray in Melbourne and some rugby too. | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
Thank you very much. The sport of fishing is dominated by men. There | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
are relatively few women anglers. But some of the biggest salmon have | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
been landed by the fairer sex. Now a new name has been added to that | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
list. Colin Wight has been to meet her. | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
I have fished since I was very young, I have fished in most rivers | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
since I was young. Barber's 14 when I caught my first big salmon. I | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
love everything about fishing. I love being out on the river. I love | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
the birds and wildlife, everything. June it leads to being out on the | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
river. It is only a few yards from the home and casting school she | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
shares with her husband, Tom. They are so dedicated to the sport they | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
were married in their wages. Jane is an expert, she will be awarded a | :23:34. | :23:44. | |
:23:44. | :23:47. | ||
trophy for landing the heaviest Tom is not jealous. Not really. | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
There is bound to. There is bound to. I do not think it would get to | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
divorce stages. I do not know, if she keeps catching bigger fish! She | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
landed her fish in competition with three men and in the face of a | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
howling gale. The biggest salmon was landed by a woman, that was on | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
the River Tay by Georgina Ballantyne in 1922. Jane would like | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
to see more women anglers. Men are more aggressive, they need to cast | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
out as long a line as they can. Women are patient, they will fish | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
slower and take their time and watch the pool. -- Paul macro. We | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
catch more fish that way. ambition is to land a 40 pound fish. | :24:41. | :24:51. | |
