:00:18. > :00:21.Welcome to Reporting Scotland. On the programme tonight: Guilty of a
:00:21. > :00:26.multi-million-pound scam. We have the story of the skippers
:00:26. > :00:33.he ran an industrial scale fraud, breaking quota rules and secretly
:00:33. > :00:35.landing illegal catches. The power of Scotland. The
:00:35. > :00:38.country's second-biggest company warns that uncertainty over the
:00:38. > :00:45.independence referendum is threatening investment.
:00:45. > :00:49.Later in the programme, in search of the God particle. The world's
:00:49. > :00:53.best brains look to unlock the secrets of the universe and we
:00:53. > :00:58.speak to Peter Higgs. Also tonight, the latest on the
:00:58. > :01:08.challenges facing Rangers. Ally McCoist talks about a week of
:01:08. > :01:14.startling revelations. My reaction was shock, but not surprised.
:01:14. > :01:17.17 fishing boat skippers have been fined more than �700,000 in their
:01:17. > :01:21.part in the �63 million fraud in Shetland and the North East. The
:01:21. > :01:25.High Court in Glasgow heard that the scam involved land in black
:01:25. > :01:29.fish, that is fish caught above the quota they are allowed under
:01:29. > :01:33.European rules. Three factories were also part of the fraud. The
:01:33. > :01:39.judge said they had carried out a cynical and sophisticated scheme
:01:39. > :01:47.motivated by money. Have you got anything to say about
:01:47. > :01:50.today's case? Leaving court after being fined. The skippers at the
:01:50. > :01:55.centre of the multi-million-pound scam had little to say. Are you
:01:55. > :01:59.going to carry on fishing? These are the so-called trawlers at the
:01:59. > :02:02.centre of the scam. All but one of them indeed Shetland fleet was
:02:02. > :02:11.involved in a racket along with other boats from the mainland.
:02:11. > :02:16.scale of the investigation was staggering. The skippers on board
:02:16. > :02:19.were landing illegal fish on an industrial scale. They were
:02:19. > :02:23.offloading thousands of tons of fish, much more than they were
:02:23. > :02:28.allowed under European fishing rules to protect stocks. The fraud
:02:28. > :02:33.was widespread and sophisticated. Every single landing that was made
:02:33. > :02:37.by all of those skippers was actually fraudulent. It is not a
:02:37. > :02:44.victimless. The reality is that there are only so many fish in the
:02:44. > :02:48.sea. That is why these quotas are in place. So who was involved?
:02:48. > :02:52.These are the skippers who carried out the scammed scented ins
:02:52. > :03:01.Shetland. They landed more than �47 million worth of illegal fish. They
:03:01. > :03:08.have been forced to pay back more than �3 million of profits they
:03:08. > :03:11.earned in the racket. How did they do it? The skippers
:03:11. > :03:17.falsified their logbooks as they landed their catches. They lied
:03:17. > :03:22.about how much fish was on board. They catch was pumped ashore to the
:03:22. > :03:26.factory to be processed, but the scale weighing the fish was right.
:03:26. > :03:30.Officers were looking at the wrong weight in the hall. The true weight
:03:30. > :03:35.was on a screen hidden in the loft. In Peterhead, they had a different
:03:35. > :03:39.technique. When police raided the factory, they found that fish was
:03:39. > :03:43.pumped ashore underground, but staff were able to divert the black
:03:43. > :03:49.fish along a different pipe. The official catch was pumped to the
:03:49. > :03:54.left, the black fish was diverted, diverting the weighing scale. These
:03:54. > :04:01.are the pipes discovered by police hidden underground. How were they
:04:01. > :04:04.caught? Officers and police raided the factories in 2005 after an
:04:04. > :04:09.investigation into the company's accounts. It is known throughout
:04:09. > :04:13.the industry that illegal black fish were being landed. It was
:04:13. > :04:19.widespread. I'm not only talking about the UK, but about the whole
:04:19. > :04:23.of northern Europe. This industry is now squeaky clean, and we have
:04:23. > :04:27.independent certification in 98% of our stocks. The factory at the
:04:27. > :04:30.centre of this scam is still waiting To hear its fate. It was
:04:30. > :04:33.through pipes like this that the fish was illegally landed. It now
:04:33. > :04:41.faces having to pay back the profits is made from the racket
:04:41. > :04:45.along with a hefty fine. For Scotland's second biggest
:04:45. > :04:49.company SSE has warned that the uncertainty about Scotland's
:04:49. > :04:55.constitutional future will increase the risk it -- it attaches to
:04:55. > :04:58.investment projects. The statement from the energy company is being
:04:58. > :05:04.seen as a blow to the Scottish government's claims that the
:05:04. > :05:10.economy will be unaffected by independence plans. What, in
:05:10. > :05:19.essence, is the argument that SSE is making? SSE is based in Perth
:05:19. > :05:23.and is known to most of us as Scottish Hydro. It is saying there
:05:23. > :05:26.are risks, there are uncertainties, both in the prospect of
:05:26. > :05:30.independence and also in the delay that there will be until that vote
:05:30. > :05:34.is taken. They are saying that the regulation of markets, which is
:05:34. > :05:40.important to be power industry, may change subsidies particularly for
:05:40. > :05:46.renewables. Subsidies could be cut if you cannot turn to customers
:05:46. > :05:52.South of the border to support them. It is unclear even whether Scotland
:05:52. > :05:58.will remain in the European Union. Any business investment has risk
:05:58. > :06:04.attached to it. In this case it is political risk. They are saying it
:06:04. > :06:07.will be a premium rates which will be added to future proposals. That
:06:07. > :06:11.cuts costs up and makes proposals less likely to go ahead. They may
:06:11. > :06:16.not be said about to make a Littlecott -- Point, but there are
:06:16. > :06:20.political implications. Indeed. They are not saying they are for
:06:20. > :06:23.against independence, but this matters a lot to debate around the
:06:23. > :06:27.referendum. Opponents of independence have warned for a
:06:27. > :06:33.while but the prospect will put off investors. They struggle to find
:06:34. > :06:37.any evidence for that. They now have evidence. The SNP, meanwhile,
:06:37. > :06:41.has pointed to a lot of big companies to continue to invest in
:06:41. > :06:45.Scotland knowing what proposals are on the table for constitutional
:06:45. > :06:48.change. The First Minister today, talking specifically about the
:06:49. > :06:54.power markets, said that after independence he wants Scotland to
:06:54. > :06:58.remain heavily integrated with the rest of the British Isles. The idea
:06:58. > :07:06.of a market throughout these islands, that has already been
:07:06. > :07:10.endorsed, not just in Britain, but in Ireland as well. That has been
:07:10. > :07:13.endorsed by all administrations. On the point of Europe, I think most
:07:13. > :07:18.people realise that Scotland is part of the European Community and
:07:18. > :07:26.will remain so. On that, he is in agreement with SSE, which wants
:07:26. > :07:31.integrated markets across the British Isles. The economy really
:07:31. > :07:36.matters to the depend -- debate about independence. It will shape
:07:36. > :07:40.people's views and ultimately their votes. And you.
:07:41. > :07:44.You are watching Reporting Scotland. Still to come: Calls for more
:07:44. > :07:48.affordable homes for families in rural areas, as they are priced out
:07:48. > :07:52.of the market. And in sport, we hear from Ally
:07:52. > :07:56.McCoist, who admits to being shot at the recent ranges revelations.
:07:56. > :08:01.Can Scotland cut out their silly mistakes when they play France on
:08:01. > :08:06.Sunday? We look ahead to the big match at Murrayfield.
:08:06. > :08:09.Stirling Council has become the only local authority in Scotland to
:08:09. > :08:15.cut its council tax. The 1% reduction means the average bill
:08:15. > :08:19.will fall by just �12 every year. We councils across Scotland already
:08:19. > :08:22.tried to make substantial savings, how can Stirling justify its
:08:22. > :08:25.decision? Our correspondent has been finding out.
:08:25. > :08:31.It looks like the people of Stirling will soon have a little
:08:31. > :08:39.bit more money in their pockets, but not much. A council tax could
:08:39. > :08:48.well hardly bring a shopping bonanza. You could perhaps by a
:08:48. > :08:53.some iron brew or a pot noodle every now and again. His 20p a week
:08:54. > :08:58.a reduction you would welcome? is hardly worth it. It has to be a
:08:58. > :09:03.good thing. Every little helps. the party that proposed the could,
:09:03. > :09:06.it was symbolic as much as anything else. It is �160 more expensive to
:09:06. > :09:10.live in Stirling and it is to live in Dumfries, and there is no
:09:10. > :09:14.inherent reason for that, so we want to try to bring the burden of
:09:14. > :09:19.taxation down for the families of Stirling. The SNP, which runs the
:09:19. > :09:26.council without a majority, are angry. They say the tax cuts will
:09:26. > :09:29.leave them �145,000 worse off. this time, we do not need to cut
:09:29. > :09:33.tax. This will affect the poorest and most vulnerable people in
:09:33. > :09:37.Stirling, and it is a sad day that the Labour Party have jumped into
:09:37. > :09:41.bed with the Tories. Because it's got through as Labour and the
:09:41. > :09:51.Conservatives voted together to defeat the administration. Today,
:09:51. > :09:52.
:09:52. > :09:57.the Labour -- Labour party argument has bitten the dust. Other Scottish
:09:57. > :10:03.councils already have their budgets in the back. No-one else will be
:10:04. > :10:08.cut in council tax this year. The Labour MP for Falkirk, Eric
:10:08. > :10:13.Joyce, has been charged with three counts of assault after a fracas in
:10:13. > :10:18.a Commons bar. The former soldier left a police station in London
:10:18. > :10:23.late last night after being held for 24 hours. We understand that Mr
:10:23. > :10:28.Joyce was suspended from the Labour Party by Ed Miliband, not by the
:10:28. > :10:33.Scottish leader, Johann Lamont. Detectives investigating the murder
:10:33. > :10:37.of Jenny Methven say they are narrowing down the time her killer
:10:38. > :10:43.struck. The 80-year-old was found dead by her son on Monday evening
:10:43. > :10:47.in a cottage they shared near the village of Forteviot. A trawl of

:11:00. > :11:04.thousands of years. Recently, scientists have turned their
:11:04. > :11:08.attention away from the stars into the internal workings of the atom.
:11:08. > :11:12.For the past 40 years, they have been hunting for the Higgs boson
:11:12. > :11:16.particle. Its existence was proposed by Professor Peter Higgs
:11:16. > :11:21.of Edinburgh University. Today, the 82-year-old physicist was honoured

:12:04. > :12:10.Peter Higgs could. He is characteristically modest about it.
:12:10. > :12:20.It is something I have lived with for a long time. It is down nearly
:12:20. > :12:21.
:12:21. > :12:27.48 years since I did this work in 1964. It was another 12 years until
:12:27. > :12:34.it was suggested that it was time experimentalists started taking an
:12:34. > :12:39.interest in what I actually pointed out in an added paragraph to a
:12:39. > :12:46.paper, which in its first version, had been rejected. I pointed out
:12:46. > :12:52.that a characteristic of these theories was the residual particles,
:12:52. > :12:57.and that is what became known as the Higgs boson. This is what they
:12:57. > :13:01.think a Higgs event could look like. Professor Higgs has been waiting to
:13:01. > :13:11.be proved right for 50 years. Has he ever doubted that the bosun
:13:11. > :13:17.particle exists? I am about three standard deviations confident, but

:14:10. > :14:13.fishery controls away from Brussels and back to the UK without major
:14:13. > :14:17.changes to treaties. They say the next move is up to the UK

:14:20. > :14:24.Isle is spearheading the drive to develop locally owned small-scale
:14:24. > :14:28.wind energy projects across the Highlands. They will encourage
:14:28. > :14:37.farmers and local communities to work together. The most common
:14:37. > :14:39.obstacle is that neighbours object. That might overcome, if they are
:14:39. > :14:44.involved in the scheme and are getting the benefit of the money
:14:44. > :14:49.from the scheme. The world's oldest surviving

:19:13. > :19:18.cash is now? I have asked it already... I have asked it in front
:19:18. > :19:22.of members of staff, some of the administrators, who have again done

:20:27. > :20:31.of us in front of millions of television viewers but a succession
