:02:32. > :02:37.The union and administrators were once again involved. So far, the

:03:39. > :03:46.the same tomorrow. Restrains me now from Ibrox. Do we
:03:46. > :03:55.know what the players are proposing? It is my understanding
:03:55. > :03:59.that the final proposal, the final throw of the dice for the Rangers
:04:00. > :04:04.players. Administrators say they are not interested in deferrals,
:04:04. > :04:08.they say they can defer wages but they cannot defer tax on that so
:04:08. > :04:13.they have said in the past that they are not interested in
:04:13. > :04:17.deferrals. My understanding is that this final proposal does have an
:04:17. > :04:25.element of wage deferrals in it. Tomorrow morning if the
:04:25. > :04:29.administrators do not go for it there will be redundancies at Ibrox.
:04:29. > :04:33.Tributes continue to be paid today to the prominent lawyer Paul
:04:33. > :04:37.McBride who was found dead in Pakistan yesterday. The 47-year-old
:04:37. > :04:42.QC was on a business trip and had begun to feel unwell. The trial of
:04:43. > :04:47.two men accused of plotting to murder him was postponed for the

:05:31. > :05:35.security guards broke down his door they found him dead. They have

:06:00. > :06:04.speaking to them, because he was greatly loved and that building and
:06:04. > :06:10.will be sadly missed. He was a guy who did not stand on his dignity,
:06:10. > :06:14.he wasn't impressed by titles or anything like that. He treated
:06:14. > :06:20.everyone the same. You could be a president of the Court of Session
:06:20. > :06:24.or the guide who parked his car. He treated everyone equally. He would
:06:24. > :06:30.never turn anyone away or turn anyone down who wanted help, friend
:06:30. > :06:34.or foe. Before Paul McBride's body is returned home from Pakistan,
:06:34. > :06:40.tests will be carried out to discover how he died. Whatever the
:06:40. > :06:44.result, the justice system here has lost one of its strongest voices.

:07:57. > :08:01.defence after he was punched by Alasdair McCaig in a nightclub.
:08:01. > :08:05.His defence team said he was a decent, polite and reasonable young
:08:05. > :08:10.man. The prosecution had said that the red mist had descended when he
:08:10. > :08:13.was provoked in an Edinburgh nightclub. But a jury said that the
:08:13. > :08:18.Scotland rugby international was not guilty of assault. He had been
:08:18. > :08:23.charged with assaulting property developer Alasdair McCaig to his
:08:23. > :08:27.Sofia injury and permanent impairment at Edinburgh's Lulu's
:08:27. > :08:31.nightclub in August to 2010. During the trial, the injured man,
:08:31. > :08:35.Alasdair McCaig, said he had been drinking at a bar when a man
:08:35. > :08:40.appeared at his side and hit him in the face with a glass. Max Evans
:08:40. > :08:44.said he was being provoked all night, assaulting him and his
:08:45. > :08:49.brother. Mr Evans said he was trying to get away from the bar
:08:49. > :08:54.when the attack happened, he said that Alasdair McCaig hit him first.
:08:54. > :08:59.He was with a woman who was holding his right hand, he struck out with
:08:59. > :09:05.his left hand. He said he struck out in self-defence and having a
:09:05. > :09:08.glass in his hand was at unintentional. In a statement, Max
:09:08. > :09:13.Evans said it had been a challenging time but that he was
:09:13. > :09:19.putting it all behind him and focusing on his rugby. He he is
:09:19. > :09:22.part of the Scotland squad but will face a Ireland this weekend.
:09:22. > :09:26.The cyclist has died after a collision with a taxi on
:09:26. > :09:30.Corstorphine Road in Edinburgh this morning. The man, believed to be in
:09:30. > :09:38.his forties, suffered serious head injuries and was pronounced dead at
:09:38. > :09:41.the scene. This is the second citing death this year. There are
:09:41. > :09:45.now calls for his summit to look into cycling safety.
:09:45. > :09:51.A BBC investigation has revealed how millions of pounds of public
:09:51. > :09:55.money is being paid out to billionaire farmers in an abuse of
:09:55. > :09:58.the agriculture system. The Scottish government has confirmed
:09:58. > :10:04.it is handing out money to companies that are not doing any
:10:04. > :10:10.farming in return. As part of the investigation, a report was able to
:10:10. > :10:14.register as a farmer and was able to buy eligibility for subsidy.
:10:14. > :10:17.This is a property developer in Edinburgh, his normal business is
:10:17. > :10:25.doing a properties like this town house but he has a surprising
:10:26. > :10:31.sideline. I own a farming subsidy which are bought in 2006. On an
:10:31. > :10:38.annual basis I claim that farming subsidy. Although it seems a little
:10:38. > :10:45.odd officially, I am legally if, as well. Do you own a farm? No, I'm
:10:45. > :10:49.clearly not rule in any way. loophole he is using allows
:10:49. > :10:54.speculators to buy the right to claim subsidy, rent land and
:10:54. > :10:57.claimed money. Profits can be as much as 30% a year, well in excess
:10:57. > :11:03.of stock market returns. We have established that the Scottish
:11:03. > :11:07.government is paying anywhere between three and �30 million a
:11:07. > :11:12.year to people who are not farming. You can get non- farmers to buy
:11:12. > :11:18.these entitlements and rent land that produces very little. They
:11:18. > :11:22.gain or on the subsidy. The to test the system, I registered as a
:11:22. > :11:28.farmer and bought the right to claim subsidy. The man responsible
:11:28. > :11:32.for the system agrees it is a major problem. This is exactly how it can
:11:32. > :11:35.be abused. This is where put so much effort into trying to persuade
:11:35. > :11:40.Europe to change the legislation. The man in charge and Brussels told
:11:40. > :11:44.us that Scotland could have changed the loophole using existing rules.
:11:45. > :11:50.The Scottish government have a possibility to have a definition of
:11:50. > :11:55.the farmer and to eliminate the right of payments to people who
:11:55. > :12:00.have the land but do nothing on it. This is way the responsibility is
:12:00. > :12:03.split between the commission and local governments. The Scottish
:12:03. > :12:11.government says it could not find a way to use those rules but the
:12:11. > :12:16.system itself is due to be reviewed completely in two years' time.
:12:17. > :12:20.You can see more on that story up on BBC One Scotland at 8:30pm.

:22:42. > :22:49.awake. This neighbour's cabbage Patch has been the latest victim.
:22:49. > :22:58.put up a wire mesh French -- fence but they damaged it and got through.
:22:59. > :23:04.They are very heavy birds so they do a lot of damage. All attempts to
:23:04. > :23:09.scare them off have not so much as ruffled a feather. Water pistols
:23:09. > :23:14.are no match for these birds. give them a squirt to dissuade them
:23:14. > :23:18.from coming back, almost always unsuccessful. They pop up again at
:23:18. > :23:23.the next day. It is thought that this flock started life as a pair
:23:23. > :23:28.from a local country house and nature took its course and the
:23:28. > :23:34.flock is in double figures. Nobody has claimed ownership so they are
:23:34. > :23:41.free to roam. They have an attitude probably -- problem. They look at
:23:41. > :23:47.you and I think if they had hands that would be giving U2 fingers.
:23:47. > :23:52.The birds can't be destroyed or captured so and less a new home can
:23:52. > :23:55.be found for them the town will have to put up with the new
:23:55. > :23:58.neighbours. Now, if you are thinking about
:23:58. > :24:01.buying your first home, you might have a question for our money
:24:01. > :24:04.expert, Fergus Muirhead. He will be on our lunchtime programme a week
:24:04. > :24:14.on Wednesday, looking at how changes to stamp duty are likely to
:24:14. > :24:21.
:24:21. > :24:25.It is turning a bit more unsettled. Good evening. Yesterday was
:24:25. > :24:31.probably the best of the week in terms of sunshine. It is turning a
:24:31. > :24:39.bit downhill from tomorrow but from tonight the sunshine is giving well
:24:39. > :24:45.-- giving way to clear Spark -- clear skies. Mainly dry with some
:24:45. > :24:50.mist and fog. Temperatures down to minus one Celsius, a bit colder in
:24:50. > :24:55.Aberdeenshire and the Borders. We will have a freshening southerly
:24:55. > :25:00.wind and some spots of rain tomorrow. But most places it is
:25:00. > :25:04.frosty but dry, but rain pushing across western Scotland through the
:25:05. > :25:11.day. By the middle part of the afternoon quite a damp picture for
:25:11. > :25:16.parts of Dumfries and Galloway. Some more persistent rain through
:25:16. > :25:20.parts of Argyle and over the Isles. Much of eastern Scotland will hold
:25:20. > :25:25.on to dry weather but there will not be much sunshine by the end of
:25:25. > :25:29.the afternoon, but no more than a few patches of rain. Temperatures
:25:29. > :25:35.tomorrow's seven or eight Celsius for most of us but the other main
:25:35. > :25:44.factor will be the wind, strong everywhere with gales in exposed
:25:44. > :25:49.areas. Gusts in excess of 60 miles an hour in the north, and that will
:25:49. > :25:56.continue as it marches eastwards. Behind the rain we have a cold or
:25:56. > :26:03.air mass and so on Wednesday the brain moves away from the east and
:26:03. > :26:08.the Heinz -- behind it things will brighten up. Later recall be cold
:26:08. > :26:14.enough to bring wintry mist even down to low levels. -- later it
:26:14. > :26:19.will be. Temperatures eight Celsius in the sunshine but in the West it
:26:19. > :26:29.will feel or in the winds. Thursday, and other weather front heads our
:26:29. > :26:35.
:26:35. > :26:38.Now, just before seven o'clock, a summary of tonight's top stories.
:26:38. > :26:41.Civilians fleeing the Syrian city of Homs have accused the army of
:26:41. > :26:44.committing atrocities when they re- entered the city last week.
:26:44. > :26:46.Families that have managed to escape have said that men and boys
:26:46. > :26:48.have been killed in front of them. Negotiations between Rangers
:26:48. > :26:51.players and the club's administrators over their future
:26:51. > :26:54.ended a short time ago without agreement. The players are being
:26:54. > :26:56.asked to take substantial wage cuts. They have asked the administrators
:26:56. > :26:59.to consider alternative proposals, which will be discussed when talks
:26:59. > :27:02.resume tomorrow. Tributes continued to be paid to
:27:02. > :27:05.the prominent lawyer Paul McBride, who was found dead in Pakistan
:27:05. > :27:09.yesterday. The 47-year-old QC was on a business trip and had begun to
:27:09. > :27:12.feel unwell during a night out. The Deputy Prime Minister Nick
:27:12. > :27:16.Clegg says ministers are to rethink how they introduce plans to cut
:27:16. > :27:19.child benefit to higher rate taxpayers. There was an outcry when
:27:19. > :27:29.it was discovered that some families on a single salary with
:27:29. > :27:34.stay-at-home parents would be worse off than others with two incomes. -
