:00:21. > :00:23.Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news...
:00:23. > :00:33.Pressure mounts on this MSP to quit parliament, following claims of
:00:33. > :00:34.
:00:34. > :00:38.domestic abuse. One of his former wives speaks out. He got in the
:00:38. > :00:43.left and he just whacked me one. How can a man like that do that job
:00:43. > :00:46.when he has a history of abuse behind 10?
:00:46. > :00:48.Bill Walker has already been expelled from the SNP, but insists
:00:48. > :00:51.he is staying on as an independent nationalist.
:00:51. > :00:54.Also this evening, 100 days until the Olympics come to Hampden. But
:00:55. > :01:04.with very few tickets sold, should we be worried about a lack of
:01:05. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:08.interest? By a more popular now, so I am not complaining.
:01:08. > :01:11.Seeing the big picture - why this young man found his portrait on the
:01:11. > :01:14.side of a three-storey building. And we look back at the semifinal
:01:14. > :01:22.goals which set up the first Edinburgh cup final since 1896. It
:01:22. > :01:26.is Hearts versus Hibs on May 19. A former wife of an MSP at the
:01:26. > :01:29.centre of allegations of domestic abuse has claimed he is not fit to
:01:29. > :01:32.be a member of the Scottish parliament. In an interview with
:01:32. > :01:35.BBC Scotland, she makes a number of allegation of domestic violence
:01:35. > :01:39.against Bill Walker. Mr Walker denies all the claims made against
:01:39. > :01:49.him by ex-wives. He has already been expelled from the SNP, but
:01:49. > :01:57.says he is considering appealing that decision. Together, we can
:01:57. > :02:00.make Scotland better. Bill Walker a member of the Scottish Parliament.
:02:00. > :02:09.He has been thrown out of the Scottish National Party after being
:02:09. > :02:18.abused of -- accused of domestic abuse. Tonight, one ex-wife reveals
:02:18. > :02:28.what she endured. As soon as we got into the room, he just started.
:02:28. > :02:28.
:02:28. > :02:37.Nightmare. He punched me all over my face, slapped me, kicked me, p
:02:37. > :02:44.with metal tongs. I was screaming I was crying. She says it was not the
:02:44. > :02:53.first time he attacked her. We got in the left and he just Witney. A
:02:53. > :02:58.big slap on the side of the face. He did it twice. We went back to
:02:59. > :03:03.the amount I said what are due to that. He was completely and a rage.
:03:03. > :03:10.I think he slapped me another couple of times and he never said
:03:11. > :03:20.sorry, never said why he had done it. To day, Bill Walker refused a
:03:21. > :03:23.
:03:23. > :03:27.work request for an interview but Another former wife has accused him
:03:27. > :03:31.of domestic abuse and police are now looking into another claim made
:03:31. > :03:38.against him. He denies any wrongdoing and although it expelled
:03:38. > :03:43.from the party, he needs the member of the Scottish Parliament. Why can
:03:43. > :03:47.a man like that stay on and do that job when he has this history of
:03:47. > :03:51.abuse behind him? He has got away with it. He seems to think it is
:03:51. > :03:56.normal behaviour. I do not think a person like him should be in a
:03:56. > :04:01.position of trust and representing the every day people of the
:04:01. > :04:08.constituency. Bob is Russian parties save water should have more
:04:08. > :04:10.power to our stores the opposed in Parliament.
:04:10. > :04:12.Strathclyde Police is investigating whether a health board deliberately
:04:12. > :04:15.covered up the circumstances surrounding the deaths of more than
:04:15. > :04:18.20 patients. In February, we exclusively revealed how NHS
:04:18. > :04:24.Ayrshire & Arran had been ordered to release documents relating to
:04:24. > :04:31.deaths and serious incidents at its hospitals. Our health correspondent
:04:31. > :04:37.Eleanor Bradford joins me now. Why have police become involved? It is
:04:37. > :04:44.that a request of a nurse who turned whistleblower. To recap, she
:04:44. > :04:47.realised that the NHS Health Board was not releasing details of
:04:47. > :04:54.serious incidents. These reports should always be release all
:04:54. > :04:59.lessons can be learned. This nurse submitted a Freedom of Information
:04:59. > :05:03.request and the Information Commissioner writ forced the NHS
:05:03. > :05:09.Trust to release the information. At first, they said it did not have
:05:09. > :05:14.the information, but in some cases, they appear to have creation dates
:05:14. > :05:20.days before the released when they should have been written up months
:05:21. > :05:30.before. Today, I asked the nurse why they continue to pursue their
:05:30. > :05:34.case. It is usually important case. There are 54 incidents, but no one
:05:34. > :05:42.seems to have been held to account and no one has been investigated or
:05:42. > :05:47.suspended. If it is proved that there is criminality here, then the
:05:47. > :05:57.law should take its course. What has the health board had to
:05:57. > :05:58.
:05:58. > :06:04.say? The vigorously refute any notion of the cover-up. They also
:06:04. > :06:09.criticise the original report, which says that although they are
:06:09. > :06:15.guilty of poor record keeping, it says they were not guilty of the
:06:15. > :06:20.cover-up. They say it was unfounded and untrue that the chief executive
:06:20. > :06:25.retired early because of this or the current medical director is
:06:25. > :06:29.planning to leave early because of this decision.
:06:29. > :06:32.You are watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the
:06:32. > :06:37.programme... Seeing the big picture - why young
:06:38. > :06:42.men are appearing on three-storey buildings across the capital.
:06:42. > :06:46.And could Hampden be empty when the Olympics rolls into town? With only
:06:46. > :06:49.100 days to go, less than 10% of the tickets have been sold.
:06:49. > :06:53.In sport, we will have exclusive news of a proposal that could have
:06:53. > :06:57.ramifications for all involved with football in Scotland. Plus, capital
:06:57. > :07:05.gains, as Edinburgh's top two prepare to go head to head in the
:07:05. > :07:08.final of the Scottish Cup. A fatal accident inquiry has heard
:07:09. > :07:13.from one of the nurses who cared for a woman who died shortly after
:07:13. > :07:16.her dentures became impacted in the roof of her mouth. Betty McGaw was
:07:16. > :07:20.admitted to hospital after swelling spread across her throat and she
:07:20. > :07:30.was not allowing anyone at her Glasgow care home to feed her. The
:07:30. > :07:31.
:07:31. > :07:35.inquiry started last year, but resumed today. 87-year-old Betty
:07:35. > :07:42.McGaw died some time after any danger became impacted and embedded
:07:42. > :07:46.into the roof of her mouth. Doctors described her mouth as filthy and
:07:46. > :07:50.believe the danger could have been in four weeks. Betty McGaw was
:07:50. > :07:57.cared for at heather bank care home in Glasgow before being admitted to
:07:57. > :08:02.hospital. Today, a fatal accident inquiry hear from staff nurse. He
:08:02. > :08:07.was responsible for the care of between 17 and 35 residents with
:08:07. > :08:13.the main share each day. The inquiry heard that care assistants
:08:13. > :08:18.had to ensure that personal and oral care where carried out for the
:08:18. > :08:27.patients. That involves brushing teeth and that it is down to the
:08:27. > :08:37.staff nurse to ensure that work is done. During her time there, he was
:08:37. > :08:43.
:08:43. > :08:52.the staff nurse. The Deputy Fiscal The inquiry has already heard from
:08:52. > :08:56.a care assistant. It says that she was fed through a straw at the care
:08:56. > :09:00.home. The staff nurse was asked if he was aware of this and he said he
:09:00. > :09:02.was not. The inquiry continues tomorrow.
:09:02. > :09:06.A multi-million pound investment by Japanese company Mitsui could see
:09:06. > :09:09.the creation of 4,500 jobs in Scotland. Mitsui's deal with Global
:09:09. > :09:12.Energy Group will see the acceleration of the redevelopment
:09:12. > :09:15.of the Nigg fabrication yard in the Highlands. Finance Secretary John
:09:15. > :09:20.Swinney said it was evidence of confidence in the Scottish energy
:09:20. > :09:23.and renewables sector. There is just over a fortnight to
:09:23. > :09:26.go until the council elections and campaigning is stepping up a gear.
:09:26. > :09:28.Today, the Liberal Democrats were highlighting their record in local
:09:28. > :09:31.government and promising to try their best to deliver for
:09:31. > :09:33.communities across Scotland, despite tough council budgets. And
:09:33. > :09:43.as our local government correspondent Jamie McIvor reports,
:09:43. > :09:44.
:09:44. > :09:48.voters have questions for which they want answers. Leader, fitter,
:09:48. > :09:55.healthier - it is what every council would claim it is trying to
:09:55. > :10:02.become. But there is no room for excess flab when budgets are being
:10:02. > :10:08.squeezed. I certainly would not have fought for some of the people
:10:08. > :10:16.who are simply part of the apparatus. I am more likely to vote
:10:16. > :10:20.for borderline candidates to have the conscience. It is very
:10:20. > :10:27.important that we look at their history and what they are planning
:10:27. > :10:32.to do in the future. These Scottish Liberal Democrats hope to persuade
:10:32. > :10:38.people their party has the best that ideas. He claims they are more
:10:38. > :10:43.committed to local decision-making and any other major party. A others
:10:43. > :10:49.will say they're in favour of local decision-making. But they are
:10:49. > :10:57.centralising the police across the five services. That says everything
:10:57. > :11:03.about the other parties. Bury is 0 national manifesto been published.
:11:03. > :11:09.Instead, they are publishing with local issues for different parts of
:11:09. > :11:17.the country. These are investing in jobs and growth, investing in
:11:17. > :11:21.education and responding to the needs of an ageing population.
:11:21. > :11:25.Winnie to make sure communities have control and the have
:11:25. > :11:33.opportunities. These are the principles of the Scottish Liberal
:11:33. > :11:37.Democrats. There are can let part of 13 coalition councils across the
:11:37. > :11:43.country, but are all too aware that of the poor results in the last
:11:43. > :11:48.year elections. Only the results in the elections well short of their
:11:48. > :11:50.optimism is well placed. Meanwhile, the Scottish Green Party
:11:50. > :11:53.has also been busy launching its council election manifesto. The
:11:53. > :12:00.party has councillors in three administrations across Scotland and
:12:00. > :12:07.is hoping to break through in other local authorities. It people give
:12:07. > :12:13.their first preference vote for as his what they will get his
:12:13. > :12:18.councillors dedicated to a more fair and sustainable society. We
:12:18. > :12:24.will have the opportunity to put into practice the practical
:12:24. > :12:29.measures we have, such as using public assets and public land and
:12:30. > :12:34.buildings to produce cleaner in revenue and produce the Revenue for
:12:34. > :12:42.better services. A look now at what else has been
:12:42. > :12:46.happening across the country this Monday. I had the wind farm
:12:46. > :12:54.protesters have picketed the meeting of the shell and trust. The
:12:54. > :12:59.meeting was abandoned. The Applecross community come make it
:13:00. > :13:03.says it is struggling to bring plans for a hydro scheme to
:13:03. > :13:11.fruition. They have been spending three years tried to get the scheme
:13:11. > :13:21.running. Finance Secretary John Swinney is travelling to Japan and
:13:21. > :13:23.
:13:23. > :13:27.South Korea to promote Scotland's renewable energy. The this is about
:13:27. > :13:36.long-term investment in the economy and to find out how we can
:13:36. > :13:42.contribute to the renewables market in the Asian market. Firefighters
:13:42. > :13:52.had been tackling a major delays in Wigton Shire. But one point, the
:13:52. > :13:53.
:13:53. > :14:02.blaze was on the four-mile front, fanned by a breeze. The Airport is

:14:32. > :14:34.than the stories on the BBC George Galloway has taken his seat
:14:34. > :14:37.in the Commons after winning the Bradford West by-election last
:14:38. > :14:40.month. It was considered a safe Labour seat, but Mr Galloway,
:14:41. > :14:43.standing for Respect, won it with a 10,000 majority. Previously he was
:14:43. > :14:49.the Labour MP for Glasgow Hillhead and then its successor constituency
:14:49. > :14:55.Glasgow Kelvin. Mr Galloway was expelled from the Labour Party in
:14:55. > :14:59.2003 because of his strident public opposition to the Iraq War.

:15:43. > :15:48.Young men up constantly portrayed negatively. These guys have the
:15:48. > :15:53.same aspirations and anyone else and deserve to be recognised.
:15:53. > :16:01.local teenager in question seemed to shock to see himself so precise.
:16:01. > :16:05.It's pretty cool. I more popular now so I'm not complaining.
:16:05. > :16:13.project is part funded by the city council and police. It quickly drew
:16:13. > :16:18.attention. I think there should be more of the sort of stuff. Has it
:16:18. > :16:24.been painted on or paper machine gun? It is incredible. A lot of
:16:24. > :16:27.skill and talent. Further images of young men from the City are to be
:16:27. > :16:30.put up across the capital over the next few days.
:16:30. > :16:34.In exactly 100 days' time, the Olympics will be here in Scotland.
:16:34. > :16:37.Organisers are promising a multi- million pound boost for the economy.
:16:37. > :16:42.Hampden Park hosts eight Olympic football matches, and it all kicks
:16:42. > :16:44.off two days before the London opening ceremony. But as our
:16:44. > :16:54.Olympics correspondent Kheredine Idessane reports, ticket sales are
:16:54. > :16:58.
:16:58. > :17:08.poor, and many people don't even know Glasgow is a host city at all.
:17:08. > :17:13.He is excited. She is excited. And even he can't wait for the Olympics.
:17:13. > :17:17.In exactly 100 days, the games are coming to Glasgow. Few in the city
:17:17. > :17:23.seemed to know. Do you know what role Glasgow's playing in hosting
:17:23. > :17:29.the Olympics? I have no idea. idea at all. Probably fitting the
:17:29. > :17:34.bill. Not really, not at all. don't know exactly what we're doing
:17:34. > :17:38.for the Olympics. Is it not more London's? Eight football matches
:17:38. > :17:44.are to be hosted at hand in bringing a this to the local
:17:44. > :17:51.economy. One of the benefits for Glasgow is around the �6 million
:17:51. > :17:56.mark. Quite a lot of good construction work has been done by
:17:56. > :18:00.Scottish companies. The education programme has been picked up by
:18:00. > :18:04.hundreds of schools all around Scotland. The Olympic torch will
:18:04. > :18:10.Gordon 95% of the population of this country when it comes here in
:18:10. > :18:15.May. People will get behind it. Former champions Japan could be
:18:15. > :18:17.headed to Glasgow as the draw is made next week as five of the eight
:18:17. > :18:21.matches here are in the women's tournament. The eyes of the world
:18:21. > :18:24.will be on the national stadium when Olympic football takes off but
:18:24. > :18:30.it will not look good if there are thousands of empty seats here at
:18:30. > :18:38.Hampden. With just 100 days to go, 90% of the tickets remain unsold.
:18:38. > :18:42.Those who have bought them cannot wait. I ordered my tickets for the
:18:42. > :18:46.Olympic football here at Camden. I am looking forward to it immensely,
:18:46. > :18:50.it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It will be obvious
:18:50. > :18:56.when the Games come to Glasgow. George Square will house 30 ft
:18:56. > :18:59.Olympic rings. Only four or overseas countries will have
:18:59. > :19:02.training camps and Scotland beforehand.
:19:02. > :19:05.And More sport now and Dougie's got the latest. The Scottish Football
:19:05. > :19:08.Association is considering setting up a National Football League to
:19:08. > :19:12.replace the SPL and the SFL. The governing body may act as
:19:12. > :19:15.frustration grows over the failure to agree new league structures.
:19:15. > :19:23.Chris McLauchlin is at Hampden for us, Chris, we've heard about league
:19:23. > :19:30.reconstruction in the past, how does this differ? Basically, what
:19:31. > :19:34.you have here is what has transpired because the clubs cannot
:19:34. > :19:40.agree on league reconstruction. These are the bodies running a game
:19:40. > :19:45.in Scotland. You have the SPL - a collection of a top clubs and the
:19:45. > :19:53.top league. You have the ESFA which oversees all of Scottish football
:19:53. > :19:58.including licensing. We also have the SFL which runs Leagues One, Two
:19:58. > :20:06.and Three. There has been recent infighting over voting structure
:20:06. > :20:09.and the ESFA are becoming more and more frustrated. There will be a
:20:09. > :20:13.meeting on 30th May of the SPL clubs to get some consensus on
:20:13. > :20:19.voting structures. The Old Firm have the power on things like
:20:19. > :20:25.broadcasting rights and the smaller clubs want a bigger piece of the
:20:25. > :20:29.pie. The ESFA and acting as exasperated parents saying, if you
:20:29. > :20:39.cannot play nice, we will move in and take your game away. It will be
:20:39. > :20:42.interesting to see if this wraps up the pressure for the SPL.
:20:42. > :20:45.Now, for the first time in almost 120 years this season's Scottish
:20:45. > :20:48.Cup final will be an all Edinburgh affair. Hibs and Hearts will both
:20:48. > :20:51.be back at Hampden next month after winning their respective semi-
:20:51. > :20:59.finals there at the weekend. And as Alasdair Lamont reports, the
:20:59. > :21:05.excitement is already building in the capital.
:21:05. > :21:12.It is not too often both have as an Edinburgh and equally elated. This
:21:12. > :21:17.weekend was an exception. Things were a little calmer on the streets
:21:17. > :21:23.of the capital today. Both sets of fans are looking forward with some
:21:23. > :21:28.optimism to the final on 19th May. If they win it, it will be a big
:21:28. > :21:32.Downer for us. Everyone will be up for it. We will beat them no
:21:32. > :21:39.problem at all. Very confident. will be the greatest derby match
:21:39. > :21:45.there has ever been. A veteran of the fixture agrees, saying victory
:21:45. > :21:49.in the final would supersede all that has gone before. Whoever wins,
:21:49. > :21:54.it will be the best bragging rights ever. This fixture has not come
:21:54. > :21:59.round for so long and it may take that long again for the next one.
:21:59. > :22:04.It will be, for one set of fans, the greatest day of their lives to
:22:04. > :22:08.have witnessed their team beat their rivals in the Cup final.
:22:08. > :22:12.may not have the hallmarks of a historic sporting venue but that
:22:12. > :22:17.was in a saviour in 1896 when Hearts last played heads and a
:22:17. > :22:22.Scottish Cup final. Hearts won on that occasion by three-to-one. Will
:22:22. > :22:32.this occasion be when heads end their 110 you wait for Scottish Cup
:22:32. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:36.final victory? Maybe it is our year, we don't know. They will have to
:22:36. > :22:46.wait another couple of years because this is our Cup and we have
:22:46. > :22:47.
:22:47. > :22:51.to wind. These Hearts fans will hope rudest actual is right. The
:22:51. > :22:55.Hibernian counterparts have other ideas and have five weeks to debate
:22:55. > :22:58.the matter. Neil Lennon will have to wait until next week to find out
:22:58. > :23:01.the ramifications of his rant at referee Euan Norris because of a
:23:01. > :23:04.backlog of cases at the SFA. Lennon was furious when Norris awarded a
:23:04. > :23:07.penalty for Hearts in the closing stages of the Scottish Cup semi-
:23:07. > :23:12.final. The Celtic boss then took to Twitter stating this and other
:23:12. > :23:14.decisions going against his team were personal. Lennon will have to
:23:14. > :23:17.wait until the SFA's compliance officer reviews Norris's report

:23:28. > :23:31.a British team of five slalom canoeists at the London Olympics.
:23:31. > :23:34.Florence, who won silver in Beijing four years ago, earned selection in

:23:46. > :23:51.Lee Valley this weekend. I knew that it was really down to me to
:23:51. > :23:55.stop the Olympic team. I am trying to keep that focus on a run won the
:23:55. > :24:02.at a time and it has not sunk in yet. I can't believe I'm going to
:24:02. > :24:05.the London Olympic Games now. Amazing.
:24:05. > :24:07.That looked like good fun and a canoe.
:24:07. > :24:10.Our financial adviser Fergus Muirhead joins us a week on
:24:10. > :24:13.Wednesday to cast some light on your concerns over pensions and the
:24:13. > :24:20.tax implications surrounding them. So as usual questions can be sent

:24:33. > :24:36.A dramatic change coming our way tonight with a lot of rain and wind.
:24:36. > :24:41.It is all part of this Atlantic low-pressure moving towards us
:24:41. > :24:45.bringing rain and stronger one mac. At the moment, that rain is
:24:45. > :24:49.touching western peripheries of the country. It will extend fairly
:24:49. > :24:53.quickly and sweep across the country. What will happen is as the
:24:53. > :25:01.rain hits colder air across areas north of the central belt, it will
:25:01. > :25:07.turn to snow over the higher ground. The Met Office have a yellow
:25:07. > :25:11.awareness Warning For travel disruption. I think it will be the
:25:11. > :25:16.rain and wind which is more noticeable for us tonight with
:25:16. > :25:21.strong south-easterly wind back. It will stay dry in Shetland and quite
:25:21. > :25:24.chilly with temperatures of around two Celsius. Tomorrow gets off to a
:25:24. > :25:28.wet and windy start but quite quickly we'll see the main clearing

:25:32. > :25:38.southern and central Scotland. The brain becomes quite static across
:25:38. > :25:43.northern parts. We will she showers across Kintyre and parts of the
:25:43. > :25:47.Galloway coast. Some decent spells of sunshine breaking through.
:25:47. > :25:54.Highest temperatures in the south of around 11 Celsius. A bit more in

:26:15. > :26:19.the showers will die away leaving a dry evening. Stays when the in the

:26:29. > :26:31.unsettled with some showers and stories.
:26:31. > :26:35.Anders Breivik, the man accused of Norway's worst atrocity of modern
:26:35. > :26:38.times, has gone on trial. The 33- year-old said he killed 77 people
:26:38. > :26:41.as an act of self-defence. Last July, Breivik first planted a car
:26:41. > :26:47.bomb in the centre of Oslo, before shooting 69 young people at a youth

:26:50. > :26:53.abuse has claimed he's not fit to be a member of the Scottish

:26:58. > :27:02.denies all the claims made against him by ex-wives. He's already been

:27:07. > :27:09.covered up the circumstances surrounding the deaths of more than
:27:09. > :27:12.20 patients. In February, BBC Scotland exclusively revealed how
