:00:35. > :00:40.women's prison. But American tycoon the Donald Trump raises concerns

:00:47. > :00:49.Also on the programme... Where did we all come from? The

:00:53. > :00:56.And up as the search for a buyer for Rangers falters again, Ally
:00:56. > :00:58.McCoist says he is concerned about the time it is taking to secure the
:00:58. > :01:01.club's future. The demolition of the country's
:01:01. > :01:05.only women's prison is one of the recommendations of a special
:01:05. > :01:08.commission. It was asked to look at way women are treated in the
:01:08. > :01:10.justice system, Ahmed concern about the growing numbers being held in
:01:10. > :01:14.jail. -- amid concern. Our Home Affairs correspondent Reevel
:01:14. > :01:18.Alderson is here with more details. This is not a new problem. There
:01:18. > :01:21.have been ten reports in the UK in recent years into the way women are
:01:21. > :01:23.treated by the criminal justice system. Now, according to they all
:01:23. > :01:26.independent commission, it is the time to act.
:01:26. > :01:28.The investigation they carried out found women and men are treated
:01:28. > :01:31.differently by prosecutors and courts.
:01:31. > :01:34.25% of the women in jail are on remand, a higher proportion than in
:01:34. > :01:39.men's prisons, but 70% of them will not actually receive a custodial
:01:39. > :01:41.sentence when they come before the courts.
:01:41. > :01:43.The vast majority of female prisoners have mental health
:01:43. > :01:46.problems, which short prison sentences can actually exacerbate,
:01:46. > :01:49.while the commission bound 30% of children of women jailed will
:01:49. > :01:59.develop their own problems, including the risk of going to jail
:01:59. > :02:05.
:02:05. > :02:11.themselves. Soul, what is to be done? Not fit for purpose -
:02:11. > :02:16.Scotland's only women's problem does it should be demolished. Most
:02:16. > :02:23.women serve sentences of six months or less and did will say they get
:02:23. > :02:30.little help in preventing them returning. You go in and watch your
:02:30. > :02:36.particulars are taken, you get paid in a a man totally forgotten about.
:02:36. > :02:45.Unless you are needed for doctors or nurses, you are left to your own
:02:45. > :02:52.devices. Be a new project in Glasgow could be an alternative.
:02:52. > :03:02.Women come here to be educated and to learn to look beyond any life of
:03:02. > :03:02.
:03:02. > :03:07.crime. A you learn that yes, they are vulnerable, but you also find
:03:07. > :03:15.they have skills. What we are try to do is to try and turn their
:03:15. > :03:19.lives around and walk that the view society in a different way. Do the
:03:19. > :03:26.report has called for a vast change in the criminal justice system for
:03:26. > :03:31.women. 80 % of these women have severe mental health difficulties,
:03:31. > :03:37.drug addiction or alcohol problems. Unless this is a dress, they will
:03:37. > :03:42.be kept imprisoned continually, but any civilised society, we know that
:03:42. > :03:50.there is evidence that shows how it works. We have simply not been able
:03:50. > :03:54.to do it. Why do we need to do this? Well,
:03:54. > :03:57.consider this figure - over a ten- year period, the cost to society of
:03:57. > :04:06.each woman who commits further crime is �75,000. So any change
:04:06. > :04:09.which reduces reoffending could ultimately benefit us all.
:04:09. > :04:12.An Ayrshire teenager who killed a teenage girl and her parents after
:04:12. > :04:16.she spurned his advances has been jailed in Australia for at least 35
:04:16. > :04:19.years. Jason Downie, who is now 20,
:04:19. > :04:21.stabbed his victims dozens of times, having become obsessed with 16-
:04:21. > :04:31.year-old Chantelle Rowe after he emigrated from Kilmarnock with his
:04:31. > :04:38.
:04:38. > :04:43.mother. Jason Downie moved with his mother into 2010 and became
:04:43. > :04:48.obsessed with Chantelle Rowe. Then 18, he broke into the family warm
:04:48. > :04:55.and shan't stabbed Chantelle and her parents. Today at court, her
:04:55. > :05:01.brother Christopher was too upset to speak. And relatives spoke for
:05:01. > :05:07.him. A long we are thankful for today is that we have escaped the
:05:07. > :05:13.pain of a trial. I can only try and keep the memory alive of Chantelle
:05:13. > :05:20.and my mum and dad. A I would be cautious as to how to describe that
:05:20. > :05:25.crime scene. There are not adequate words to describe that. It is
:05:25. > :05:31.something that everyone will have nightmares about in the years to
:05:31. > :05:34.come. To tonight, Jason Downie knows he will be well into his
:05:35. > :05:36.fifties before he is eligible for parole.
:05:37. > :05:39.American billionaire Donald Trump claims Scotland is committing
:05:40. > :05:42.financial suicide by creating a wind farm landscape. It is apart of
:05:42. > :05:45.Mr Trump's submission to a Scottish Parliament inquiry into renewable
:05:45. > :05:48.energy, to which he is due to give evidence next week.
:05:48. > :05:51.Mr Trump is opposing plans for a wind farm off the coast of his

:05:59. > :06:05.Duff is there tonight. Strong words again from Mr Trump. The finishing
:06:05. > :06:09.touches are being put to the golf course here that they should open
:06:09. > :06:15.in the summer, but the Patel and holiday homes have been stopped.
:06:15. > :06:25.The reason is that Donald Trump is concerned about the future view out
:06:25. > :06:30.there. There is a win found went far turbine plant proposed that he
:06:30. > :06:34.is not happy about it. He said it would be financial suicide his
:06:34. > :06:42.column turned into a wind farm landscape. He will appear before
:06:42. > :06:47.the committee will next week. That should be a very colourful day.
:06:47. > :06:51.There will also be a rally against wind farms. He said it would be the
:06:51. > :06:58.equivalent of putting the six the story apartment block on the
:06:58. > :07:05.Prince's Gardens or Arthur's seat. A as the been a reaction from the
:07:05. > :07:10.Scottish parliament? The Scots his government have said today that
:07:10. > :07:16.they dispute what Mr Trump says, because tourism is growing and
:07:16. > :07:20.renewables are becoming heavily invested in. But they say they
:07:20. > :07:24.welcome the debate. You are watching Reporting Scotland
:07:24. > :07:27.from the BBC. Still to come on the programme...
:07:27. > :07:30.A slice of Highland history is saved, as Prince Charles helps

:07:33. > :07:36.catch up with the man behind this daring jump from Britain's highest
:07:36. > :07:39.cliff. And in sport, another twist in the
:07:39. > :07:45.Rangers story, as the club's administrators pursue Craig Whyte's
:07:45. > :07:49.lawyers for �25 million. All and Andy Murray starts the clay

:07:59. > :07:59.
:07:59. > :08:03.Labour has been spelling out how it believes councils can play a part
:08:03. > :08:06.tackling unemployment and poverty. At the launch of its local election
:08:06. > :08:09.campaign, the party has been stressing the vote on May 3 should
:08:09. > :08:19.not be about the independence referendum. Our local government
:08:19. > :08:24.correspondent Jamie McIvor reports. 16 days until the polls open and
:08:24. > :08:30.the local election campaign should be blossoming. But it is hardly the
:08:30. > :08:36.first thing on the minds of many people. Even those who say they are
:08:36. > :08:40.interested in politics. If think when it is the general election
:08:40. > :08:48.people think it is the government, but when it is local elections,
:08:48. > :08:57.people do not sure as much interest. I wanted a candidate who shows
:08:57. > :09:01.compassion for the community and is also realistic. The main theme was
:09:01. > :09:11.the putting out the message from the Labour Party about their
:09:11. > :09:18.intentions. Services, child protection and services for the old
:09:18. > :09:21.people in our society. That is what people are worried about. The man
:09:21. > :09:27.of vestal as some common themes, such as supporting families in
:09:27. > :09:32.tough times. We Labour says that councils will take action on jobs
:09:32. > :09:39.and training and the seat tackling fuel poverty and support for carers
:09:39. > :09:46.are also high on their agenda. They got the most first preference votes,
:09:46. > :09:51.but the Scottish National Party go there was councillors over all.
:09:51. > :09:54.years ago, it was a fantastic result, but not so much last year.
:09:54. > :10:00.I am committed to going out and making the case for the Labour
:10:00. > :10:04.Party. We are looking to connect with residence across the whole of
:10:04. > :10:10.Scotland added these tough times, we want local councils to work in
:10:10. > :10:16.the best interests of families and communities. The campaign is being
:10:16. > :10:20.seen as a crucial time for the new leader of Scottish Labour. They
:10:20. > :10:23.have to win back the voters who have gone elsewhere.
:10:23. > :10:26.A pedestrian has been killed after being struck by a lorry at

:10:34. > :10:36.old lorry driver was unhurt. The road was closed for accident
:10:36. > :10:38.investigations, but has since reopened. Police have appealed for
:10:38. > :10:46.witnesses. A look now at what else has been

:12:36. > :12:39.of these stories are all these stories 24 Raza day on the BBC
:12:39. > :12:43.Scotland website. 20,000 years ago, at the depth of
:12:43. > :12:47.the last Ice Age, Scotland looked something like this. The landscape
:12:47. > :12:51.was in deep freeze and it was too cold for human life. 10,000 years
:12:51. > :12:54.on, the country had thawed out and people had started to return. Now
:12:54. > :12:59.analysis of the DNA of 1,000 modern-day Scots has been able to
:12:59. > :13:07.trace where their ancestors came from. Seonag Mackinnon has been
:13:07. > :13:14.looking at what the researchers found. After the Ice Age, frozen
:13:14. > :13:21.landscapes retreated Neuss. The warmer climates attracted tribes
:13:21. > :13:30.from all over the globe. The I found my mother's DNA is from
:13:30. > :13:37.Cyberia. I am related to royalty, apparently. Considering I was
:13:37. > :13:45.adopted and did not know who my father was, that was amazing use.
:13:45. > :13:49.They DNA has been taken from 1,000 people. The most exciting thing has
:13:49. > :13:56.been how diverse the Scottish people are. We have seen hundreds
:13:56. > :14:02.of different types. I was not expecting that at all. Sort white
:14:02. > :14:12.so diverse? Researchers believe it is because Scotland was on the
:14:12. > :14:15.
:14:15. > :14:24.north of Europe. We think Our ancestors travel to up from Asia to

:14:38. > :14:45.has discovered links to Napoleon Bonaparte. The and this man was
:14:45. > :14:53.apparently captured by pirates. And there are more projects planned to
:14:53. > :14:58.answer the age-old question, who Prince Charles has stepped in to
:14:58. > :15:02.help save two tiny Caithness cottages. The prince who has been
:15:02. > :15:07.visiting the area since childhood has long seen in interest in the
:15:07. > :15:13.company's flagstone industry. House Trust are restoring the last stone
:15:13. > :15:17.homes of quarry workers. Memories of a bygone age when the
:15:17. > :15:21.flagstone industry brought hundreds of jobs to the Caithness village of
:15:21. > :15:24.Castletown and much-needed housing for employees and their families.
:15:25. > :15:31.These last surviving cottages built by quarry workers at the time are
:15:31. > :15:35.to be brought back to life. Right now we're in that what was the very
:15:35. > :15:41.day of. Just two rooms in every property and this room was where
:15:41. > :15:45.you eat and washed and cleaned. The front room was be good run. As you
:15:45. > :15:50.can see here, we have a box bed where people slept and probably a
:15:50. > :15:55.pull-out bed underneath depending on how many there where. Literally
:15:56. > :16:01.layers of history have been uncovered in the restoration. This
:16:01. > :16:06.shows what domestic life was like in the 19th century. A very hard
:16:06. > :16:13.life. An open fire in the small room where you diddle your cooking
:16:13. > :16:17.and that was it. No electricity in those days. You have to milk the
:16:17. > :16:21.cow and make-up that the butter occasionally. It was all hard work.
:16:21. > :16:25.It is also hope that the project led by the Prince of Wales
:16:25. > :16:31.Regeneration Trust will help preserve castle town's industrial
:16:31. > :16:38.past. Caithness's flagstone paid the world. For over 40 years from
:16:38. > :16:42.Miss Harbour it was sent to America, Australia and even India. Before
:16:42. > :16:48.the Flaxton Industry came, Castle 10 consisted of five houses. There
:16:48. > :16:52.was nothing before that. The fact that is now a thriving village and
:16:52. > :16:55.was in the 19th century a flourishing community and
:16:55. > :17:01.production area with a port, that is something that we have to
:17:01. > :17:06.preserve. The project and its past is of particular interest to Prince
:17:06. > :17:14.Charles himself who is a regular visitor to the area and is said to
:17:14. > :17:18.be keeping a close eye on progress. A 15-year-old Glasgow schoolboy
:17:18. > :17:21.said he is incredibly proud to have designed the official tartan for
:17:21. > :17:26.the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. This follows a nationwide
:17:26. > :17:30.competition. Their new creation was modelled at Shawlands Academy by a
:17:30. > :17:33.former World Highland Games champion. The tartan is expected to
:17:33. > :17:41.be received by over one million people worldwide when the Games
:17:41. > :17:45.come to Glasgow in two years' time. More pressing sporting matters now.
:17:45. > :17:51.Another development in the Rangers story. The club's administrators
:17:51. > :17:56.are seeking damage of �25 million from the legal firm Craig Whyte
:17:56. > :18:02.used when he was taking the club over Collyer Bristow. Chris,
:18:02. > :18:08.another legal case. A multi- million-pound one. What is it all
:18:08. > :18:14.about and what a Collyer Bristow saying about it? Just when we
:18:14. > :18:20.thought we wouldn't get a daily twist in this tale - a boom - at
:18:20. > :18:25.�25 million claim from the Rangers administrators. This is about that
:18:25. > :18:27.ill-fated takeover from last summer. There saying that that Collyer
:18:27. > :18:32.Bristow because their rights and obligations and that deal and are
:18:32. > :18:35.accusing them of professional negligence. Collyer Bristow are
:18:35. > :18:40.denying the claims saying that they are highly speculative and they
:18:40. > :18:44.will be vigorously contested. The administrators are due to release a
:18:44. > :18:48.statement this evening saying they had been in a further discussion
:18:48. > :18:52.with the two brothers - the US consortium and the Singapore
:18:52. > :18:57.consortium led by Bill Ng. They have been in discussions today and
:18:57. > :19:00.are hoping to announce a preferred bidder by the end of the week.
:19:00. > :19:06.may be music to the years of Ally McCoist who I gather was expressing
:19:06. > :19:11.concerns today regarding lack of clarity over the preferred bidder.
:19:11. > :19:18.He has not really said much in recent years -- recent weeks, the
:19:18. > :19:23.Rangers manager, so it shows how important a preferred bidder is. He
:19:23. > :19:28.says it is very worrying as he has plenty of planning to do forced up
:19:28. > :19:30.the manager has the pre-season to think about so as he looks to get
:19:30. > :19:37.things right on the part, the administrators look to get it right
:19:37. > :19:47.off the park. It has been described as a mess and a sadder, but a month
:19:47. > :19:47.
:19:47. > :19:52.this, a Rangers football club is fighting for its existence. -- saga.
:19:52. > :19:57.A panel was discussed -- convene today discuss seven charges against
:19:57. > :20:00.Craig Whyte. Craig Whyte is boycotting the hearings which
:20:00. > :20:05.relate to his fitness to run a club and charges of bringing the game
:20:05. > :20:10.into disrepute. The hearings could run until Friday.
:20:10. > :20:14.Andy Murray has started the clay- court tennis season in style. He
:20:14. > :20:18.beat the Serbian Viktor Troicki in state sets today in the second
:20:18. > :20:22.round of the Monte Carlo Masters. The clay-court season culminates in
:20:22. > :20:26.a French Open at Paris at the end of next month. A new-look Andy
:20:26. > :20:30.Murray said a good showing at Monte Carlo could be the key to a
:20:30. > :20:36.successful French Open. Monte Carlo - playground of the

:20:44. > :20:51.gentlemen, here it is also up his new haircut. The French are
:20:51. > :20:56.referring to it as a military cut. His new Barnet was well hidden by a
:20:56. > :21:03.baseball cap for the rest of the match. Andy Murray's tennis today
:21:03. > :21:08.was a cut above. The newly shorn Scott made short work of Serbia's
:21:08. > :21:18.Viktor Troicki, winning the first set 6-0 in less time than it takes

:22:14. > :22:18.Those were the days. It is called Base jumping. You're
:22:18. > :22:22.not to try this at home. It involves jumping from a great
:22:22. > :22:26.height and opening a parachute ideally just before you land. Simon
:22:26. > :22:32.Brentford had a goal and Orkney and that is the first time someone has

:22:36. > :22:42.Whatever the camera angle, it is plain to see this is not a place
:22:42. > :22:50.for the faint-hearted. This was the view at more than 1100 ft up. This
:22:50. > :22:56.was the view from across the way and this was the point of no return.
:22:56. > :23:00.I was nervous, very nervous indeed. It is an unknown, the first jump of
