:00:22. > :00:28.Good evening. Rangers fans want cancers and now there is a call or
:00:28. > :00:36.Craig Whyte's finances to be investigated. The taxpayer is on
:00:36. > :00:42.the hook. Football clubs must realise they must comply with
:00:42. > :00:50.regulations. The First Minister has revealed he was talking to Rangers
:00:50. > :00:57.and the taxman. Unemployment is up again with
:00:57. > :01:02.16,000 more people seeking work. A Scots woman told us how her
:01:02. > :01:06.breast implant ruptured leaking silicone.
:01:06. > :01:12.Britain's most senior Catholic was snubbed over an official Vatican
:01:12. > :01:16.visit. There is a call tonight for the
:01:16. > :01:26.Financial Services Authority to investigate Craig Whyte's financing
:01:26. > :01:29.
:01:29. > :01:36.of Rangers Football Club. It has emerged that Rangers have held back
:01:36. > :01:41.�9 million in taxes since he took control.
:01:41. > :01:46.Craig Whyte cut a lonely figure last night in Heathrow airport.
:01:46. > :01:53.is sad day. Hours earlier, it was revealed �9
:01:53. > :02:00.million in VAT deducted from his staff had not found its way to the
:02:00. > :02:07.taxman. This left fans wondering where the money went. It does not
:02:07. > :02:13.look too good. I blame David Murray. Craig Whyte is just out for the
:02:13. > :02:23.money. He claims to have injected �33 million of his own money to pay
:02:23. > :02:26.
:02:26. > :02:34.off debts. Going on previous seasons, Rangers' income should be
:02:34. > :02:44.around �26 million. There has been cash injections in the form of a
:02:44. > :02:45.
:02:45. > :02:54.�24 million loan from a finance firm. �5 million has come from the
:02:54. > :03:04.transfer of a player. That is �55 million. The cost according to Mr
:03:04. > :03:11.
:03:11. > :03:18.Whyte is �3.5 million a month. That should lead �21 million. After tax,
:03:19. > :03:24.the �9 million that should have been paid is added to that figure.
:03:24. > :03:30.In theory, this should still be available. The club is in
:03:30. > :03:36.administration. There has been a call from that form or House of
:03:36. > :03:46.Commons secretary. At the end of the day, the taxpayer is on the
:03:46. > :03:48.
:03:48. > :03:58.hook. Football clubs must realise we must comply with regulations.
:03:58. > :04:01.
:04:01. > :04:08.HMI C... The case for a renewed investigation is something that
:04:08. > :04:18.supporters should look at. Was it Craig Whyte's plan to take the club
:04:18. > :04:20.
:04:20. > :04:30.into administration? This man works for Duff and Phelps. The BBC has
:04:30. > :04:33.
:04:33. > :04:43.obtained these e-mails showing Mr Grier was involved in the takeover.
:04:43. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:54.If there was evidence of a prior relationship, that would be cause
:04:54. > :05:20.
:05:20. > :05:25.for concern. The independence may Mr Whyte had no comment when he
:05:25. > :05:33.arrived at the miniature -- administrators.
:05:33. > :05:39.The First Minister gave his first comment about the events.
:05:39. > :05:47.The most important thing is to get an agreement between Regis and
:05:47. > :05:57.intimacy. The most important thing is that Rangers can continue as a
:05:57. > :05:58.
:05:58. > :06:06.football club. Are you suggesting they get more time? Over the last
:06:06. > :06:11.few weeks, I have been in contact with Bowles. There is tribunal
:06:11. > :06:21.which will make a judgment in a few weeks' time. It may have to wait
:06:21. > :06:21.
:06:21. > :06:29.until that judgment has been made. The priority is to examine how much
:06:29. > :06:39.is reasonably Ord and have a sensible agreement over a realistic
:06:39. > :06:41.
:06:41. > :06:45.period of time. That would be right for the taxpayer and Rangers. If we
:06:45. > :06:55.keep an eye on what is best for Rangers the club and Scottish
:06:55. > :07:05.football, that is a sensible thing to do. I am asking Rangers and the
:07:05. > :07:05.
:07:05. > :07:14.taxman to settle these add agreeably. The administrators have
:07:14. > :07:22.only had 24 hours to make an assessment. They have spent the day
:07:22. > :07:32.taking stock. They released a statement. It begins by saying they
:07:32. > :07:35.have made very good progress. The thank their clubs'' business
:07:35. > :07:40.partners for going the extra mile to make sure the game against
:07:40. > :07:46.Kilmarnock goes ahead. The understand that this is up
:07:46. > :07:56.difficult period. There is reassurance that Rangers will
:07:56. > :07:57.
:07:57. > :08:01.continue as a football club. This is not about Rangers. The
:08:01. > :08:08.applications are widespread. That is reflected in the number of
:08:08. > :08:18.people queuing up to speak to the administrators. Dunfermline arrowed
:08:18. > :08:20.
:08:20. > :08:27.�80,000. The administrators say they will continue to work West
:08:27. > :08:37.those involved. It was not long ago that we were talking about crowd of
:08:37. > :08:38.
:08:38. > :08:42.less than 20,000 for a Scottish Cup tie. Unemployment has risen in
:08:42. > :08:52.Scotland with the latest figures showing 16,000 more people seeking
:08:52. > :08:55.
:08:55. > :09:05.work. The number of people in employment has fallen. It is not a
:09:05. > :09:18.
:09:18. > :09:26.surprise that unemployment is on its way up. Look at it from the
:09:26. > :09:36.other point of view, how many Scots in work? The rest of the UK saw
:09:36. > :09:46.rise in unemployment. The jobless rate is a bit higher. There is some
:09:46. > :09:50.hidden unemployment. This woman is not an unemployment statistic. She
:09:50. > :10:00.has a cleaning job but she is one of millions of part-time workers
:10:00. > :10:08.
:10:08. > :10:18.who want to go full-time. Here was are not there for me. A part-time
:10:18. > :10:28.
:10:28. > :10:32.wage gets stretched. Bills, food shopping. It is not all manageable.
:10:32. > :10:37.Our understanding is that the labour market is tight. People are
:10:37. > :10:41.looking for work and they will take what is on offer. Many people are
:10:42. > :10:51.in low-paid work and part-time work when they would prefer to be in
:10:52. > :10:52.
:10:52. > :11:00.full-time work. One response to part-time work is looking overseas.
:11:00. > :11:10.The situation we're in now has been building for a while. We're seeing
:11:10. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:20.more redundancies. In Nova Scotia, things have been levelled and they
:11:20. > :11:30.have had shipbuilding contracts. It is more positive. In these sectors
:11:30. > :11:31.
:11:31. > :11:36.facing high unemployment was construction. Another sector under
:11:36. > :11:46.pressure is Retail. Scottish shop- owners said January saw the
:11:46. > :11:56.sharpest drop in sales. The lack of confidence about jobs means people
:11:56. > :11:57.
:11:58. > :12:01.are looking for discounts. For an animal charity condemns a
:12:01. > :12:07.decision not to prosecute a gamekeeper who batters close to

:12:13. > :12:21.hear from were an Ibrox star. All the joy and heartache of
:12:21. > :12:25.Valentine's Day Scottish Cup replay. The Catholic Church in Scotland
:12:25. > :12:32.says it is disappointed Cardinal Keith O'Brien has not been invited
:12:32. > :12:37.to join a delegation to the Vatican. Government ministers had an
:12:37. > :12:43.audience with the Pope today. The Archbishop of and Westminster was
:12:43. > :12:47.there. Despite being the most senior, there was no place for

:13:02. > :13:12.2010, it was Scotland and Britain's most senior cleric who to coast.
:13:12. > :13:16.One would have thought he would be invited. He is ahead of the
:13:16. > :13:22.Catholic Church in England and Wales but not the UK. Is this a
:13:22. > :13:29.snob? It is an oversight but it is easy to understand why people would
:13:29. > :13:36.think it was a snub. It is not long ago the Scottish Government was
:13:36. > :13:45.deeply involved in the planning for the people visit. He played a
:13:45. > :13:50.leading role in this. This is a historic visit. It included the
:13:50. > :13:55.Secretary of State for Scotland Michael Moore. He said it was the
:13:55. > :14:03.decision of the Catholic Church. The BBC understands it was Baroness
:14:03. > :14:11.ba said he asked arch bishop Nichols to accompany the delegation.
:14:11. > :14:21.This has upset the church. There is a feeling Cardinal Brian should
:14:21. > :14:24.
:14:24. > :14:31.For the Scottish government, it was not just the cardinal but Scotland
:14:31. > :14:36.there was overlooked. They talk about respect when they are making
:14:36. > :14:40.these decisions, but they do not demonstrate that. This oversight
:14:40. > :14:49.will be embarrassing for the government, not least of all
:14:49. > :14:51.because the card and all is one of Michael Moorer's constituents.
:14:51. > :14:56.An Edinburgh woman who received substandard breast implants has

:15:34. > :15:39.me. As you can see, this one is intact, but this one has completely
:15:39. > :15:44.ruptured. The clinic which did the original surgery said there was
:15:44. > :15:48.nothing wrong with her in plants. It was only after she sought a
:15:48. > :15:58.second opinion that the rupture was discovered. Her advice for other
:15:58. > :16:03.
:16:03. > :16:07.women? Have they think about it. I did not have any symptoms, so if
:16:07. > :16:13.you have had breast implants, I would advise you to get them

:16:23. > :16:25.
:16:25. > :16:30.happening across the country this Wednesday. Inverness hospital has

:20:34. > :20:37.The Rangers players will be going through hell right now. That is
:20:37. > :20:40.what a former player is saying, as the current roster of Rangers
:20:40. > :20:47.players face up to the uncertainty of administation. So far, there has
:20:47. > :20:55.been very little comment from the Rangers employees. A at the
:20:55. > :21:05.training ground, it was a deal from regular training. When the manager
:21:05. > :21:07.
:21:07. > :21:11.arrived, he did not want to talk to the BBC. So, something of a wall of
:21:11. > :21:17.silence that Murray Park today. The players and staff of the club's
:21:17. > :21:27.seemingly have been told not to speak to the media. For the moment,

:21:36. > :21:41.Twitter to thanking the fans for all their support. They will be
:21:41. > :21:47.going through absolute hell. There is a process before where they're
:21:47. > :21:51.not sure it is going into administration. I am sure the
:21:51. > :22:00.administrators are spoken to them as a grip and possibly told them
:22:00. > :22:09.not to speak to the press. Even though it is a bigger institution
:22:09. > :22:11.than Dundee, they will be facing the same sort of thing that we were.
