Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight: Donald Trump tells MSPs

:00:18.:00:21.

that he was given assurances from two First Minister as there would

:00:21.:00:27.

be no offshore wind farms near his multi-million pound golf resort.

:00:27.:00:32.

What they did was the "lured" end, I spend this money and now I might

:00:32.:00:39.

regret it. We will have a full report from Holyrood and we will be

:00:40.:00:44.

analysing Donald Trump's alternatives to wind turbines.

:00:44.:00:49.

Rupert Murdoch is quizzed at the Leveson Inquiry over his

:00:49.:00:51.

relationship with the First Minister.

:00:51.:00:55.

Is it a sign of the times? Shoplifters are now targeting

:00:55.:01:02.

charity shops. And is it a bird? Is it an aeroplane? No, it is a

:01:02.:01:05.

supersonic car and the wheels are made in Glasgow.

:01:05.:01:10.

The American tycoon, Donald Trump, has claimed he was "lured" into

:01:10.:01:16.

investing in Scotland by two First Ministers. The businessman said he

:01:16.:01:19.

was first assured by Jack McConnell and then Alex Salmond that an

:01:19.:01:23.

offshore wind farm would not be built near his Aberdeenshire golf

:01:23.:01:28.

resort. The planning application has since been submitted. Donald

:01:28.:01:31.

Trump make the claims as he appeared before a Scottish

:01:31.:01:34.

Parliamentary committee, investigating the Government's

:01:34.:01:39.

renewable energy targets. There was plenty wounded Holyrood

:01:39.:01:49.

today. From those who love turbines... And from those, like,

:01:49.:01:56.

Donald Trump, do not. He arrived before the Devil's, a businessman

:01:56.:02:06.
:02:06.:02:07.

who turned showman to denouncement powerful so -- wind power. Scotland

:02:07.:02:13.

will go broke. Where is your clinical evidence? First of all, I

:02:14.:02:19.

am the evidence. Never known for an understatement, he went on to decry

:02:19.:02:25.

two First Ministers. I felt betrayed. The "lured" me in and now

:02:25.:02:30.

I might regret it. He said his golf resort all we went ahead because as

:02:30.:02:35.

First Minister, Jack McConnell, assured him there would be no

:02:35.:02:39.

nearby wind development. As Jack McConnell said it would not be

:02:39.:02:46.

built. His people told my people that it will not happen. And he

:02:46.:02:51.

claimed Alex Salmond had given him similar private assurances. Alex

:02:51.:02:57.

Salmond scoffed at the idea at a dinner we had in New York.

:02:57.:03:01.

claims were met with some scepticism. It would have been

:03:01.:03:05.

completely out rages and improper for a First Minister to give such a

:03:05.:03:09.

future assurance about the planning application on anything. I do not

:03:09.:03:14.

think so. Boss Alex Salmond and Lord McConnell denied giving

:03:15.:03:22.

guarantees. So the news conference that followed... I do have

:03:22.:03:28.

witnesses. It is not every day that an American tycoon gives evidence

:03:28.:03:32.

to a committee of the Scottish Parliament. This has been one of

:03:32.:03:35.

the liveliest and busiest sessions of any committee in this Parliament.

:03:35.:03:42.

It was more Hollywood than Holyrood and Donald Trump left amid their

:03:42.:03:50.

rival protests weaving controversy behind them. -- behind him.

:03:50.:03:55.

During today's hearing, Donald Trump suggested a number of

:03:55.:04:00.

alternatives to wind power. But do they make financial sense? And are

:04:00.:04:05.

the practical? David Nolan has been looking at his suggestions.

:04:05.:04:11.

The Scottish Government's goal is to generate 100% of our electricity

:04:11.:04:16.

demand from new -- from renewables by 2020. Ministers say wind farms

:04:16.:04:21.

will have a vital role to play in achieving that target. Present

:04:21.:04:31.
:04:31.:04:32.

sworn wind power is expensive, need subsidies and is unreliable. --

:04:32.:04:42.
:04:42.:04:48.

critics warned. The cost to the consumer onshore wind is about

:04:48.:04:55.

three times the normal cost of power and offshore, it is more than

:04:55.:05:01.

four. So are there alternatives to wind-power? Donald Trump told MSPs

:05:01.:05:05.

scholar should increase its use of hydropower. Industry experts say

:05:05.:05:10.

there is some remaining potential. But the vast majority a suitable

:05:10.:05:14.

big sites were developed decades ago. Donald Trump has spoken about

:05:14.:05:20.

the benefits of wave and tidal power. Ironically, these forms of

:05:20.:05:24.

generation will require higher subsidies than twin power and still

:05:24.:05:29.

-- are still a long way from being commercially viable. He says the

:05:29.:05:33.

Irish are thrilled because they will benefit from the damage wind

:05:33.:05:37.

farms will cause to Scotland's tourism industry. Last year

:05:37.:05:42.

Scotland generated almost 20% of his cellar trustee using wind. But

:05:42.:05:47.

Ireland was not far behind at 18% and it is also planning a major

:05:47.:05:54.

expansion. Expect more claims and counter-claims in the months and

:05:54.:06:01.

even years ahead. The media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has

:06:01.:06:06.

declared that his relationship with the First Minister Alex Salmond is

:06:06.:06:10.

warm, but all the publisher and the politician vigorously denied there

:06:10.:06:17.

was any deal to help advance Mr Murdoch's bid for the satellites --

:06:17.:06:21.

satellite broadcaster BSkyB. Mr Murdoch was giving evidence to the

:06:21.:06:26.

Leveson Inquiry into press standards.

:06:26.:06:31.

Rupert Murdoch has Scottish ancestry and that a influenced his

:06:31.:06:41.
:06:41.:06:43.

views over the Scottish Parliament. How would you describe your

:06:43.:06:49.

relationship with Mr Salmond? Is a warm or something different? Today?

:06:49.:06:56.

I would describe it is warm. I don't know Mr Salmond well. But I

:06:56.:07:04.

have three meetings here and he is an amusing guy. I enjoy his company,

:07:04.:07:11.

enjoyed talking. At the Scottish elections in 2007, the son of was

:07:11.:07:15.

their SNP. But four years they backed Alex Salmond to stay on a

:07:15.:07:22.

Scottish Minister. It is a little emotional, but I am attracted by

:07:22.:07:31.

the idea. But I am not convinced and died think we should stay

:07:31.:07:37.

neutral on the big issue. -- and I think we should. Of the publisher

:07:37.:07:41.

and Mr Salmond have firmly denied any trade-off between the Sun

:07:41.:07:47.

supporting the SNP and Mr Salmond backing Mr Murdoch's application to

:07:47.:07:52.

gain full control of BSkyB. E-mails indicate that the First Minister

:07:52.:08:02.
:08:02.:08:03.

was ready to intervene. It never happened, overtaken by events. That

:08:03.:08:13.
:08:13.:08:13.

day Mr Hunt approve it News Corporation's application for BSkyB.

:08:14.:08:22.

Mr Salmon said his concern was Scottish jobs. The reality is that

:08:22.:08:26.

this would lead to more jobs and more investment. That would be in

:08:26.:08:31.

the Scottish interest. I thought that as they should be taken into

:08:31.:08:38.

account. Do you think MSPs... Politics Scotland Today and the row

:08:38.:08:48.

continues. More a Holyrood tomorrow. You are watching Reporting Scotland.

:08:48.:08:54.

Still to come: Even shoplifters are falling on hard times as charity

:08:54.:09:00.

shops record a rise in thefts. In sport: More on the fall-out from

:09:00.:09:09.

that transfer ban. I will reveal the nominees for Manager of the

:09:09.:09:13.

Year. And what is prompting the second rugby started on, what is

:09:13.:09:19.

that a week on a hat?. A murder trial has heard that an

:09:19.:09:22.

Elgin woman planned to meet her lawyer to discuss getting a divorce

:09:22.:09:27.

on the day she disappeared 14 years ago. The High Court in Edinburgh

:09:27.:09:30.

heard that Arlene Fraser seemed quite happy when she told her

:09:30.:09:35.

friends about her plans. Her husband, Nat Fraser denies a murder

:09:35.:09:43.

and says his friend may be responsible. She vanished in April

:09:43.:09:47.

1998. This woman was a friend and said she was much happier after

:09:47.:09:52.

separating from her husband. Arlene Fraser told her that she was

:09:52.:09:56.

meeting a lawyer at the next day. But the following afternoon, she

:09:56.:10:01.

became concerned when she could not reach Arlene Fraser. She said it

:10:01.:10:06.

was a -- out of character for a not to be at home for her children

:10:06.:10:11.

coming back from school. She said that at 10 o'clock that night Nat

:10:11.:10:15.

Fraser came to her house, he was concerned about where the children

:10:15.:10:19.

were but was not worried about where Arlene Fraser was. Arlene

:10:19.:10:23.

Fraser has meant to me to a friend on the day she went missing. She

:10:23.:10:27.

said she had gone round to her home that morning and found the door

:10:27.:10:31.

open but no one at home. Arlene Fraser had been security-conscious

:10:32.:10:36.

and it was unusual for her to leave the home unlocked. Later in the

:10:36.:10:40.

evening as concern grew for the mother of two, she returned with

:10:40.:10:47.

the police. Arlene Fraser's League Cup was still there as were her

:10:48.:10:53.

close and other things. About a week before Arlene Fraser went

:10:53.:11:00.

missing, she had told Michelle how she had seen Hector's sitting in a

:11:00.:11:10.

car outside her house for an hour. She also remembered Arlene Fraser

:11:10.:11:15.

as a good mother who would leave -- never leave her children and

:11:15.:11:19.

attendant. Nat Fraser denies murdering his wife and the trial

:11:19.:11:23.

continues. I judge has ordered David Murray's

:11:23.:11:28.

company, MML, to provide Ranger as administrators with letters and e-

:11:28.:11:33.

mails about the sale of the club to Craig Whyte. Duff and Phelps argued

:11:33.:11:36.

that correspondence between the business and Mr White's lawyer's

:11:36.:11:41.

would help their investigation into the takeover. Lord Hodge said that

:11:41.:11:45.

although MML had no objection to the disclosure, a court order was

:11:45.:11:50.

necessary because of confidentially -- confidentiality clauses

:11:50.:11:54.

surrounding the sale. The number of companies going bust

:11:54.:11:57.

in Scotland has risen sharply, according to the most recent

:11:57.:12:01.

official figures. The Accountant in Bankruptcy to be issued figures

:12:01.:12:05.

showing 385 Scottish companies were declared insolvent in the first

:12:05.:12:09.

quarter of this year. That is more than 30% higher than over the same

:12:09.:12:14.

period last year. The figures also show a 13% rise in the number of

:12:14.:12:18.

personal bankruptcies. Could secondary-school teachers

:12:18.:12:22.

Rhine primary schools? That is a radical proposal from East Lothian

:12:22.:12:27.

and Midlothian council after years of low numbers of applications for

:12:27.:12:31.

head teacher posts. It would require applicants doing a one-year

:12:31.:12:35.

online course. But tonight the General teaching Council said it

:12:35.:12:45.
:12:45.:12:47.

was opposed to the plan. Coming in, not applications to be

:12:47.:12:50.

head teachers. Across Scotland the shortage is such, two council say

:12:51.:12:56.

it is time to look for a new pool of recruits. Promoted staff in

:12:56.:13:01.

secondary schools managing large numbers of staff and budgets, could

:13:01.:13:06.

be given the opportunity to apply. At the last count, fewer than five

:13:06.:13:10.

primary staff apply for each vacancy. And one in five needs to

:13:10.:13:16.

be re-advertised. Juggling budgets and staff is believed to deter some

:13:16.:13:21.

primary teachers from applying. Head teachers' leaders say the

:13:21.:13:28.

potential pay rise for her deputies there is the problem. It is not

:13:28.:13:32.

simply a prep -- financial matter, the situation could continue if it

:13:32.:13:42.

is not at all. Listening to problems about learning to read,

:13:42.:13:48.

food and toileting. But will families except secondary teachers?

:13:48.:13:54.

They have their qualified in specific subjects, primary teachers

:13:54.:13:59.

do a spectrum. I do not think it is a bad idea as long as teachers have

:13:59.:14:02.

experience working in primary schools are working with young

:14:02.:14:07.

children. Council leaders say they won you're online course and plenty

:14:07.:14:13.

of support would ensure the new head teachers make the grade.

:14:13.:14:16.

I look now at what else has won happening across the country this

:14:16.:14:22.

Wednesday. Nearly 1000 Postle packs were sent out in Dumfries and

:14:22.:14:27.

Galloway with no ballot paper inside. The region's returning

:14:27.:14:31.

officer says new packets are on the way to voters.

:14:31.:14:34.

Greenpeace says its own tests show little environmental impact from

:14:35.:14:39.

the gas leak on the elegant platform in the North Sea. The

:14:39.:14:45.

group's -- Group sent a researcher on to the scene.

:14:45.:14:48.

The Scottish Local authorities warning bracelets sold in this area

:14:48.:14:57.

could be poisonous. These contain a fatal toxins. Reports indicate that

:14:57.:15:01.

a small quantity, even a child chewing in getting access to the

:15:01.:15:07.

contents of one of these beans could be fatal. Sir Walter's got's

:15:07.:15:12.

former home, Abba's first house will be renovated after the council

:15:12.:15:18.

approved new plans -- -- approved plans. People who live near

:15:18.:15:22.

Aberdeen prison are being called -- has to call a special hotline to

:15:22.:15:26.

report suspicious activity. Last year more than 200 mobile phones

:15:26.:15:31.

were thrown into the jail. The man from Seattle is attempting

:15:31.:15:36.

to row from Stornoway to the Faroe Islands and then on to Iceland. It

:15:36.:15:41.

is his second attempt, bad weather forced them back last time. What I

:15:41.:15:44.

am waiting for are those ideal conditions and I trust the boat, I

:15:44.:15:50.

know how strong she is. I have brought her close to 500 miles now.

:15:50.:15:55.

So I know my abilities with her. And there are more stories from

:15:55.:16:05.
:16:05.:16:06.

your area and all the latest on the A week tomorrow, polling stations

:16:06.:16:10.

open for Scotland's local elections. Because of the voting fiasco back

:16:10.:16:16.

in 2007, last year's Holyrood votes were counted by hand. But now

:16:16.:16:21.

electronic counting is back. Kenneth Macdonald has been behind

:16:21.:16:31.
:16:31.:16:37.

the scenes with the machines. It is a sophisticated system which is

:16:37.:16:46.

meant it Taylor and election result fast. There could be a 100,000

:16:46.:16:53.

rejected ballot papers across Scotland. Tens of thousands of

:16:53.:16:58.

ballot papers were spoiled and most of these were rejected

:16:58.:17:02.

automatically by the counting machines. The question this time as,

:17:02.:17:10.

is it going to be accurate and secular and is it going to work?

:17:10.:17:18.

The process is under new management. His solution has been designed in

:17:18.:17:28.

conjunction with users and with the local authorities who will use it.

:17:28.:17:36.

So poor to say this will lead to a fair results and that the counting

:17:36.:17:42.

of votes by hand can take days. This way, the rewards can be

:17:42.:17:52.
:17:52.:17:53.

counted in Meier seconds. So, at the Fifth stage we not that this

:17:53.:18:00.

party will have three candidates. If and when it was a rejected, they

:18:00.:18:10.

will be by the returning officer, not the machine. You have a one for

:18:10.:18:14.

your first choice say to for your second choice and a 3 for your

:18:14.:18:20.

third choice. The system has already been used in smaller

:18:20.:18:26.

Scottish elections. They are one of them, there were 17 candidates on

:18:26.:18:29.

the ballot paper. Shelter Scotland say there has been

:18:29.:18:32.

a sharp increase in shoplifting in their charity shops, with more than

:18:32.:18:36.

a dozen incidents a week. The charity says thieves are now seeing

:18:36.:18:39.

them as a soft target, with the number of incidents rising faster

:18:39.:18:48.

than on the rest of the high street. Charity shops are very much part of

:18:48.:18:53.

the landscape these days. As well as attracting shoppers looking for

:18:53.:18:59.

real bargain, they are attracting shop Lister's looking for goods to

:18:59.:19:05.

pass on. Staff say the shop in the West End has been targeted several

:19:05.:19:13.

times a week. It is not a particular type of person, it is

:19:13.:19:19.

everyone. We have the type of people look for a certain item or

:19:19.:19:24.

label that they can sell on and make money from and then they will

:19:24.:19:28.

use the right moment to put it in their back or pitta and their

:19:28.:19:37.

jackets. Shelter is not the honour a charity feeling the pinch. Recent

:19:37.:19:43.

research shows that shot listing in charity shops has risen by one

:19:43.:19:49.

Firth and the last year. That compares to 14 % across the rest of

:19:49.:19:59.
:19:59.:20:01.

the highest rate. People say this type of theft is disgusting. By it

:20:01.:20:05.

is absolutely terrible. These operations are helping the most

:20:05.:20:15.
:20:15.:20:16.

vulnerable people in the society. It is shocking. Police say that

:20:16.:20:20.

thieves know fine now that most of these charity shops do not have

:20:20.:20:26.

sophisticated security systems. They think they are a very soft

:20:26.:20:32.

touch but the message we want to put across is that if people's

:20:32.:20:39.

steal from charity shops we're going to pursue them. Not all of

:20:39.:20:45.

that there will be no lover charity to those who carry out these crimes.

:20:45.:20:47.

Let us get the latest sport now, from Rhona.

:20:47.:20:50.

One of the members of the Scottish FA panel that imposed a 12-month

:20:50.:20:54.

transfer ban on Rangers has spoken to BBC Scotland. Rangers manager

:20:54.:20:59.

Ally McCoist says the transfer ban could kill the club. Our reporter

:20:59.:21:04.

Chris Mclaughlin is at SFA headquarters at Hampden Park now.

:21:04.:21:07.

Why has one of the members of the panel felt the need to comment and

:21:07.:21:17.

and what has he been saying? Ally McCoist Rangers manager had said

:21:17.:21:21.

that it was a decision which could kill off the club. He also said he

:21:22.:21:28.

was looking for clarity and names, in terms of those on this panel.

:21:28.:21:34.

Today, the names on that panel where late the via social

:21:35.:21:41.

networking site. As you said, one of the panel members has decided to

:21:41.:21:48.

speak to BBC One Scotland. Heath he cannot be named, but this is what

:21:48.:21:58.
:21:58.:22:07.

That particular member of the panel also told us that he is considering

:22:07.:22:12.

a his situation with regard to been the part of any future judicial

:22:12.:22:15.

panel. Rangers fans, spurred on by Ally

:22:15.:22:20.

McCoists comments yesterday, want to know who was on the panel. What

:22:20.:22:28.

is the SFA's objection to them being named? A bet remains to be

:22:28.:22:34.

seen why the Scottish Football Association demand confidentiality.

:22:34.:22:41.

The clubs voted for this and it never rains, but it just pause for

:22:41.:22:47.

Rangers, it would appear these days. The Scottish FA has announced a

:22:47.:22:51.

change of referee for Sunday's Old Firm match at Celtic Park. Craig

:22:51.:22:55.

Thomson is now unavailable, so Calum Murray has been drafted in.

:22:55.:22:58.

Mr Murray sent Neil Lennon to the stand at half time in the Old Firm

:22:58.:23:01.

match last month. The Celtic manager will have to watch from the

:23:01.:23:04.

stands again this time, as punishment for a separate incident.

:23:04.:23:07.

And the Celtic boss is on the shortlist for the Manager of the

:23:07.:23:10.

Year award. Under Lennon, Celtic won this year's SPL title, putting

:23:11.:23:14.

together a 21-match unbeaten run in the process. Ross County's Derek

:23:14.:23:18.

Adams is also nominated. His team have won the First Division and are

:23:18.:23:22.

32 games unbeaten. The third nominee is Motherwell's Stuart

:23:22.:23:26.

McCall, whose team are currently third in the SPL.

:23:26.:23:29.

Edinburgh Rugby are preparing for their European Cup semifinal this

:23:29.:23:33.

weekend against Ulster. But the pressure is all on the Irish,

:23:33.:23:38.

according to Edinburgh back row Dave Denton. He was on hand at

:23:38.:23:40.

Murrayfield today, colourful wig and all, to promote the semifinal

:23:40.:23:45.

match this Saturday. It is the biggest match in the club's history,

:23:45.:23:53.

but it seems not one to be feared. There is no doubt there is work

:23:53.:24:00.

more pressure on them. I would not say there is nothing for us to lose,

:24:00.:24:05.

but we want to get through to the final. We have got very strong

:24:05.:24:09.

ambitions. This is the first step for us.

:24:09.:24:12.

Former world snooker champion Graham Dott has been knocked out of

:24:12.:24:14.

this year tournament, suffering his heaviest ever defeat in the

:24:15.:24:17.

:24:22.:24:25.

that he would have conceded the match, were it not punishable by a

them! Now, what do you get if you cross a

:24:39.:24:43.

fighter jet, a formula one racing car and a rocket? The answer is a

:24:43.:24:46.

supersonic car that is, hopefully, capable of travelling at 1,000

:24:46.:24:49.

miles per hour. And one of the most vital components of the Bloodhound

car is being made in Scotland. The vehicle and its driver were in

looking at the business end of the supersonic car, the Bloodhound. The

:25:11.:25:16.

aim is to travel more than 1,000 miles per hour. You would think you

:25:16.:25:22.

needed a fighter pilot to drive something like that. You actually

:25:22.:25:30.

already had a record for the land speed record. Yes, we have the land

:25:31.:25:37.

speed record at 763 miles per hour. Why are we doing another one? Well,

:25:37.:25:47.
:25:47.:25:49.

we think the 1,000 mile an hour barrier is the next big mark. It is

schools to call and joiners on this Engineering and venture over the

Castle Engineering are making the most amazing 1,000 miles per hour

Edinburgh to Glasgow - not in three minutes, I should add, and you can

see it at during the next few days. I think we need on board that to

Now, you can see this rain has been pushed in by these easterly winds.

:27:11.:27:15.

You can see we have the yellow warning from the Met Office for

this continuing rain. Overnight, you can see this train pushing and

:27:29.:27:35.

a dry night should be in prospect, with temperatures staying up around

:27:35.:27:44.

five or six degrees Celsius. Overnight, very difficult driving

:27:44.:27:49.

on the east side of the country in particular, and from the east down

:27:49.:27:55.

to the Borders. Tomorrow, starting brighter in the West, with this

rain beginning to gradually spread from the East throughout the

:27:59.:28:05.

country. Many areas in the east and north-east having very heavy rain.

The best of the weather probably in the Western head a violence. -- at

localised flooding and there are flood alerts in parts of the

country. Overnight, Thursday to Friday, the rain will move further

towards the weekend, and improving picture for nearly all of us. There

will be plenty of dry and bright weather around, but tomorrow, wet

and windy. Britain is back in recession. The

:29:01.:29:04.

latest figures showed the economy shrunk by 0.2% in the last three

months. Labour leader Ed Miliband said this new period of recession

was "made in Downing Street". David Cameron acknowledged the figures

were disappointing, but said the government would stick to its plans

to reduce the deficit. American tycoon Donald Trump has

claimed he was lured into investing in Scotland by two First Ministers
