Will come to Reporting Scotland. Too late: -- tonight: two-and-a- | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
half years after he was sent home fresh claims that the Lockerbie | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
bomber was asked to drop his claims for an appeal in order to guarantee | 0:00:22 | 0:00:29 | |
his release. He is adamant that he would not have dropped the appeal | 0:00:29 | 0:00:34 | |
had it not been indicated that doing so would enhance his chances | 0:00:34 | 0:00:42 | |
of a compassionate release. Untrue. Here say, based on the fact a book | 0:00:42 | 0:00:50 | |
is about to be released. The men accused of plotting to kill Neil | 0:00:50 | 0:01:00 | |
Lennon go on trial. She is well connected - one of 300 children | 0:01:00 | 0:01:06 | |
getting a insulin plant to help manage the of diabetes. And signs | 0:01:07 | 0:01:16 | |
of improvement but still no wins in The Scottish Government has | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
categorically denied that it advised that the Lockerbie bomber | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
to drop his appeal against conviction days before release from | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
prison on compassionate grounds. Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, the only | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
man convicted of the atrocity, makes the claim and a biography | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
just published. He also says that new evidence from a BBC Scotland | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
investigation should help prove his innocence. The Lockerbie bomber are | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
says that he is dying but two-and- a-half years after his release from | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
prison on compassionate grounds he is convinced that new evidence will | 0:01:51 | 0:01:58 | |
impact -- prove his innocence. will be very good and it will help | 0:01:58 | 0:02:07 | |
clear my name. He dropped his appeal at days after being visited | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
by the Justice Secretary. Based later he returned it to will appear. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:19 | |
His biographer says that the two things are linked. He is adamant | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
that he would not have dropped the appeal had it not been indicated to | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
him that doing so would enhance his chances of gaining compassionate | 0:02:27 | 0:02:34 | |
release. The Scottish Government have issued a categoric denial that | 0:02:34 | 0:02:43 | |
any deal was done. Untrue. It starred hand here say based on the | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
fact that the book is about to be launched and promoted. -- powered | 0:02:48 | 0:02:54 | |
hand here say. My decision was not predicated, it was a matter for him | 0:02:54 | 0:03:03 | |
and his legal team. New evidence has emerged any BBC investigation | 0:03:03 | 0:03:10 | |
casting doubt on his involvement in the bombing. He was identified by a | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
shopkeeper in Malta or as having bought clothes later found in the | 0:03:13 | 0:03:19 | |
suitcase containing the bomb. But his identification could be suspect. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:25 | |
When he joined at the line-up just before his trial the shopkeeper had | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
recently seen a photograph of the Libyan in a magazine. He claims it | 0:03:29 | 0:03:38 | |
never affected his judgment. I have never seen this man until he came | 0:03:38 | 0:03:48 | |
0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | ||
to the court. I think he is a very simple man. But I do forgive him. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
Scotland's washed terraced atrocity continues to provoke uncertainty | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
but now opposition parties are demanding comment from the Justice | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
Secretary as regards his claims that he was given a deal to drop | 0:04:03 | 0:04:12 | |
The trial has begun of the men who plotted to kill Neil Lennon. -- | 0:04:12 | 0:04:19 | |
accused of plotting to kill. Along with two high-profile supporters of | 0:04:19 | 0:04:25 | |
the club, Paul McBride QC and Trish Godman. The package sent was | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
believed to be an improvised explosive device capable of causing | 0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | |
extreme injury or death. This was the incident in the mind of the | 0:04:34 | 0:04:40 | |
Post man who collected the Mail on 4th March, 1920 11. The 5th round | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
Scottish Cup replay, where Ally McCoist and Neil Lennon were | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
involved in what the jury heard was a scuffle. The spokesman said he | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
was empty net post box when he spotted a parcel addressed to Neil | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
Lennon at Celtic Park. He took it to the sorting office where his | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
manager called the police and evacuated the building. Royal Mail | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
manager, Andrew Easton, told the court that the package felt | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
suspicious, like a bag of nails. The jury were shown photographs of | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
what was contained within the parcel. A large quantity, | 0:05:16 | 0:05:22 | |
containing what around 100 meals. And a black wire attached to the | 0:05:22 | 0:05:30 | |
opening flapper. -- around 100 nails. There was a crude device and | 0:05:30 | 0:05:38 | |
a black party like substance with two meals stuck on to it. This | 0:05:38 | 0:05:48 | |
0:05:48 | 0:05:58 | ||
counter-terrorism policeman told The jury then heard about a second | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
parcel from Kirkintilloch post man, Martin Mulgrew. He said it was | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
addressed to Neil Lennon at the Celtic training-ground and | 0:06:06 | 0:06:16 | |
0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | ||
The jury were shown a photograph of the second parcel. It had a more | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
professional look and a printed label. Both men deny all the | 0:06:24 | 0:06:31 | |
charges and the trial continues. You are watching Reporting Scotland. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:37 | |
Still to come: parents in Scotland are paying more for childcare than | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
almost anywhere else in the United Kingdom. And a science-fiction | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
movie filmed in Glasgow which has been discovered more than 30 years | 0:06:45 | 0:06:50 | |
after it was made, but never released. Another disappointing | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
defeat in the Six Nations - what a Scotland have to do to avoid the | 0:06:54 | 0:06:59 | |
wooden spoon? And Alan MacGregor leaves Rangers's financial worries | 0:06:59 | 0:07:05 | |
to one side and vows to be fully focused in goal against Slovenia. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
The wife of the man accused of killing a missing Edinburgh office | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
worker, Suzanne Pilley, appeared in court today, but refused to testify | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
against him. Andrea Gilroy was called as a witness for the | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
prosecution but took up her right to decline evidence. David Gilroy | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
it denies the murder as well as assaulting his wife at their home | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
in Edinburgh on various occasions. Andrea Gilroy was called to the | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
trial as a prosecution witness. When she was led into the witness | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
box she smiled briefly at her husband sitting in the dock. The | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
judge explained, as the wife of the accused, you have the right not to | 0:07:46 | 0:07:51 | |
give evidence against a partner. He asked, do you wish to give | 0:07:51 | 0:07:58 | |
evidence? She replied, nor, I do not. Later today some of Abdelbaset | 0:07:58 | 0:08:04 | |
Ali al-Megrahi and David Gilroy's work colleagues give evidence. One | 0:08:04 | 0:08:10 | |
colleague said: - some of Suzanne Pilley and David Gilroy's | 0:08:10 | 0:08:20 | |
colleagues. Another colleague, -- another colleague told the court | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
that he had seen David Gilroy at 9am in the office where they worked | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
and said he looked shocked and had glazed eyes and dilated pupils. He | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
was asked to be noticed anything else and said that he had a mark on | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
his neck. Mr Gilroy said he had been cutting bushes and his garden | 0:08:36 | 0:08:42 | |
that weekend. David Gilroy's mother also gave evidence saying that her | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
son arrived that morning to collect keys to his house. She said he | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
appeared to be normal. He denies seven charges including the murder | 0:08:50 | 0:09:00 | |
0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | ||
of Suzanne Pilley. The trial Rangers have been fined �50,000 by | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
the Stock Exchange for failing to disclose that Craig Whyte had been | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
disqualified as a director. The club were just as having displayed | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
a reckless and negligent attitude to the rules. They have since gone | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
into administration. Police have been questioning bus passengers | 0:09:20 | 0:09:26 | |
about the death of an 80-year-old found one way to go at her home | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
near Perth. Detectives want to speak to some body -- a man seen | 0:09:31 | 0:09:39 | |
boarding the need as a stop to her All children who need an insulin | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
pumps are to get one in Scotland. Scotland has the world's but high | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
street of trial by BT's and it is hoped that new treatment will | 0:09:47 | 0:09:53 | |
prevent the chances of children developing long-term complications. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:59 | |
There are nearly 28,000 people with type 1 diabetes. 2,800 of them are | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
children. Type 1 diabetes develops when your pancreas cannot make | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
enough insulin to get energy from sugar. So people with this | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
condition have to inject themselves with insulin several times a day | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
and must plan ahead what the eat and how much energy they're going | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
to use and inject the right amount of insulin to match. A insulin pump | 0:10:20 | 0:10:25 | |
makes much life much easier. It continually releases small amounts | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
of insulin and you can just a pump if you need more a less than | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
expected. Some are even waterproof so that you can wear them swimming. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
I met the youngest child in Scotland to ever have one fitted. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:43 | |
With her new shoes and pretty outfit, five-year-old daisy is | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
happy to strike a pose for the cameras. This young model also | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
supports the latest fashion in diabetes treatment, and insulin | 0:10:51 | 0:11:01 | |
pump. She was on five injections a day, doing that is really | 0:11:01 | 0:11:07 | |
heartbreaking, now that we have the pump it is easier to control. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:16 | |
favourite playtime occupation is now catching the boys. Jackson is | 0:11:16 | 0:11:26 | |
0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | ||
the easiest to Pat -- catch. He is not very fast. Every child who will | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
benefit will now get an insulin pump but it is down to their health | 0:11:32 | 0:11:42 | |
0:11:42 | 0:11:48 | ||
boards to find the money. This is a step change that is needed. It will | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
take time for numbers to come through but we are convinced by a | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
commitment and certain that everyone who needs one in Scotland | 0:11:55 | 0:12:01 | |
will get one. It is thought that one in 10 diabetics could do with | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
one. But there is good news for adults as there will be funding for | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
2000 new pumps over the next three years which means that most adults | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
who need one will get one. A look at what else has happened across | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
the country: police are appealing for witnesses to a crash in Orkney | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
which killed two women and left a man seriously injured. The three- | 0:12:21 | 0:12:31 | |
0:12:31 | 0:12:31 | ||
car accident happened on the outskirts of Kirkwall last night. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:41 | |
0:12:41 | 0:12:47 | ||
Anyone who we have witnessed this should get in touch with the police. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
Dounreay has begun blasting work to create Scotland's biggest nuclear | 0:12:52 | 0:12:57 | |
dump. The underground store will have room for 240,000 tonnes of | 0:12:57 | 0:13:07 | |
0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | ||
low-level radioactive waste from Objectors to waste disposal have | 0:13:10 | 0:13:18 | |
lunched a protest at above major's councils offices. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
There have been refurbishment to both Kintyre hotels. It been truly | 0:13:23 | 0:13:30 | |
was the developer's dream, everything that money could buy, a | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
little money and TLC. The Scottish Maritime Museum, | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
current Borders of the Carrick clipper ship, say they have no | 0:13:38 | 0:13:44 | |
plans to forcefully remove a Sunderland man who has occupied it. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:49 | |
Peter Addison, who says the ship should be returned to where it was | 0:13:49 | 0:13:55 | |
built, is from Wearside. And the last Scottish volunteer in | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
the Spanish Civil War has died. He was a corporation bus driver in | 0:14:00 | 0:14:07 | |
Glasgow when he went to Spain in 1926 as part of the Scottish | 0:14:07 | 0:14:17 | |
Ambulance Service. Parents in Scotland with young families are | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
paying more for childcare than almost anywhere else in the UK. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:26 | |
That is if they can get it. As survey for the charity's day-care | 0:14:26 | 0:14:34 | |
Trust and children in Scotland found that parents here face prices | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
on a par with the south-east of England, and huge gaps in provision. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
They say it is a childcare what -- childcare lottery. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
This woman is about to return to work if she can get care for her | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
children. Attempts at finding an alternative have proved fruitless. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
If they do find a nursery, she and her partner are not sure they can | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
afford it. Before we knew the nursery would | 0:15:01 | 0:15:07 | |
shut, we were in a challenging situation. For two full-time nurses | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
in our position it would have cost more than 40% of our household | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
income. We were trying to juggle our two jobs and go for part-time | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
nursery places. Only one in five local authorities | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
has enough childcare for working parents. Only one in 10 can provide | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
childcare for those who work outside office hours or live in | 0:15:30 | 0:15:36 | |
rural region mights. Childcare provision can be sky high. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
Childcare for a week in the country's most expensive nursery | 0:15:40 | 0:15:46 | |
can be over �11,000 per year. Last April, the UK Government cut | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
support for childcare, leaving many families �500 per year worse off. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:59 | |
We cannot afford to a loud young children and their families to be | 0:15:59 | 0:16:06 | |
abandoned. -- we cannot afford to allow. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
Glasgow City Council has cut the number of places it will fund in | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
private nurseries. That means some parents pay for services, while | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
others get -- other people get the services for free. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:24 | |
It is a pity we could not get the service people get. Others get it, | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
but there is a percentage that do not get it here. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:33 | |
The charities say there is a legal obligation on charities to provide | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
-- on Government to provide childcare for parents. The new can | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
see more on that story on BBC One Scotland tonight on Panorama - The | 0:16:43 | 0:16:49 | |
Cost Of Raising Britain at 8:30pm. No for the sport. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
We start with the rugby. The Scotland winger, Rory Lamont, is | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
undergoing surgery which forced him off during yesterday's match at | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
Murrayfield. Once again, the Scots failed to win despite an improved | 0:17:02 | 0:17:12 | |
0:17:12 | 0:17:12 | ||
expecting a victory. The World Cup finalists against a team with no | 0:17:12 | 0:17:18 | |
wins so far in the Six Nations. But, it was the Scots who started | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
brighter, when that rarest of beasts turned up after seven | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
beasts turned up after seven minutes - a Scotland tried. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:31 | |
Do young players are stepping up to the plate. They came on for 30 | 0:17:32 | 0:17:33 | |
the plate. They came on for 30 minutes and played really well, so | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
that is really positive. The negative was the way in which | 0:17:36 | 0:17:42 | |
they lost their stranglehold on the they lost their stranglehold on the | 0:17:42 | 0:17:43 | |
French. What went wrong? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:48 | |
It is not what went wrong, it is what did they not do to really | 0:17:48 | 0:17:53 | |
close the game off. For me it was turning the pressure into points. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
They have to learn to be more They have to learn to be more | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
clinical, to create the chances and finish them off. There were enough | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
opportunities to score three or four tries. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
Despite this try from Lee Jones Scotland are without a win so far | 0:18:07 | 0:18:12 | |
in the championship. Is the head coach, Andy Robinson, to blame? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
The fans are happy with them, the players are happy with them, I | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
spoke with him after the game. You can see their performances were a | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
lot better than two or three years ago, before Andy came in. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
Performance is one thing - winning is another. It was the red, white | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
and blue which dominated yesterday. Scotland have to win one of their | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
Scotland have to win one of their next two matches to avoid a | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
whitewash. Scotland's trip to Slovenia could | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
be a welcome break for Alan McGregor, according to Craig | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
Levein's assistant, Peter Houston. With his club's future in doubt, it | 0:18:48 | 0:18:56 | |
could be a well needed to escape. The Allan McGregor, decked out in | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
green today. Rangers fans, fear not. The goalkeeper was modelling of the | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
national kit, at ease with his team-mates but not keen to discuss | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
life in administration at Rangers. How much of a welcome break is this | 0:19:08 | 0:19:14 | |
for you giving what is going on at club level. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
-- given what is going on at club level? | 0:19:16 | 0:19:21 | |
I think it is an honour. P pulsated shows your | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
professionalism, but you can put that behind you and take to the | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
field. As I say, every kind -- every time | 0:19:27 | 0:19:33 | |
I come away with Scotland, hopefully it is the same thing. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:39 | |
I Alan McGregor was part of a rampant Rangers side who fired four | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
past Inverness at the weekend. Just the tonic for players who could be | 0:19:42 | 0:19:48 | |
facing redundancy. For almost two weeks administrators have been | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
drawing up cost-cutting plans and those are fight -- close to being | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
finalised. The and has not mentioned anything | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
about last night. He was up eight because of their | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
fantastic performance yesterday. He will put it to the back of his mind. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
-- Alan has not mentioned it. At this particular time it is probably | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |

be pleased that no bike the corps which is out of the Dubai Duty Free | 0:20:27 | 0:20:33 | |

Novak Djokovic is already through. Film fans may be watching the | 0:20:49 | 0:20:55 | |
Oscars last night, but Scottish actors came close after a | 0:20:55 | 0:21:01 | |
successful run. Almost 35,000 visited the Glasgow Film Theatre on | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
first of all. The sci-fi thriller, Deathwatch, was made in 1980. Of | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
all it was never released in Britain it featured one of today's | 0:21:11 | 0:21:18 | |
big stars in his first big screen How many? | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
It has never been done, this kind of thing. He it was, at the time, | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
science fiction, our man in planted with a camera to film a dying woman | 0:21:27 | 0:21:34 | |
for a TV show. 30 years on, Deathwatch seems ahead | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
of its time with commit about reality TV. It was the first major | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
film to be made on location in the City, although, as its French | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
director recalls, he was not given much encouragement. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:52 | |
I had been warned by many people in London, do not shoot in Glasgow, | 0:21:52 | 0:21:59 | |
you are completely crazy, you will be robbed, murdered, attacked, your | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
life will be a nightmare. All the equipment will be stolen. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 | |
In fact, it was a successful shoot, employing a number of local actors | 0:22:08 | 0:22:14 | |
in their first screen roles. They had been doing Scottish | 0:22:14 | 0:22:19 | |
Television, but no British films. Among them, there was Robbie | 0:22:19 | 0:22:24 | |
Coltrane. I was impressed by his look. I thought, that is great, he | 0:22:24 | 0:22:30 | |
won't be the one running after the film's lead. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
A film was not released in UK cinemas, although it developed a | 0:22:35 | 0:22:45 | |
0:22:45 | 0:22:45 | ||
cult following. Its director, who regularly returns to Glasgow, says | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
he is delighted and may one day make another film here. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:55 | |
I would love to, because the sky, the light in Scotland is stunning, | 0:22:55 | 0:23:01 | |
beautiful, it is so beautiful, even when it is raining. The rain is | 0:23:01 | 0:23:10 | |
