:01:42. > :01:48.worker was suffering from mental health problems to the extent their

:01:48. > :01:52.company, G4S, had been sent warnings not to employ him. Paul

:02:28. > :02:35.he was paid by the government to retrain as a private security

:02:35. > :02:45.contract there. In 2009, whilst working for G4S, he was shot dead,

:02:45. > :02:53.his killer was Danny fit Simons. was short, three times. Twice in

:02:54. > :02:58.the chest. The BBC has discovered that G4S had been sent e-mail

:02:58. > :03:03.warnings by a concerned employee. The e-mails which was sent days

:03:03. > :03:13.before the shootings listed his criminal convictions, and his

:03:13. > :03:16.

:03:16. > :03:20.unstable behaviour. G4S is still employed him on a contract. What if

:03:20. > :03:27.I told you that G4S had been warned about the killer before they

:03:27. > :03:35.employed him? These warnings came in the form of several e-mails.

:03:35. > :03:44.they still took him on? I would be so angry. I would be absolutely

:03:44. > :03:52.distraught. Do you have evidence for that? We have been Els. They

:03:52. > :03:59.need taking to task for that. families want justice. They know

:03:59. > :04:06.who they blame. The gun was put in his hand by G4S, I want them to be

:04:06. > :04:09.charged with corporate manslaughter, and to be held accountable.

:04:09. > :04:13.said they were aware of the allegations, but that an internal

:04:13. > :04:23.investigation showed and those such evils were received by their HR

:04:26. > :04:29.department. -- e-mails. Since 2003, the UK Government has spent almost

:04:29. > :04:34.�500 million employing armed security contract as. Instead of

:04:34. > :04:40.formal regulation, they have opted to set up a independent body to

:04:40. > :04:44.monitor them. There are some companies who will not uphold the

:04:44. > :04:51.best standards. It concerns me a great deal. We are trying to

:04:51. > :04:58.address that problem. What will he be able to do those companies? --

:04:58. > :05:07.what will you. Not much if they operate under the radar. In a

:05:07. > :05:11.And you can see more on that story with Samantha Poling tonight on BBC

:05:11. > :05:15.Two Scotland at 9 o'clock. Pretty awesome. Paul Lawrie's

:05:15. > :05:18.summing up of Europe's victory in the Ryder Cup. The Aberdeen golfer

:05:18. > :05:21.turned out one of the best performances of his career to play

:05:21. > :05:26.his part in snatching victory from the jaws of defeat in Chicago to

:05:26. > :05:28.retain one of the most pretigious prizes in the sport. And what

:05:28. > :05:37.better handover to Gleneagles which will host the competition in two

:05:37. > :05:47.years time. The decisive blow in an incredible

:05:47. > :05:49.

:05:49. > :05:52.piece of sporting theatre. In front of a disbelieving Chicago crowd,

:05:52. > :05:57.Europe complete a remarkable comeback. Paul Lawrie, flying the

:05:57. > :06:06.flag for Scotland was part of the early charge, setting the scene for

:06:06. > :06:13.a Ryder Cup victory. It was an achievement which demanded a party,

:06:13. > :06:18.and that the celebrations had a decidedly Scott is a theme as they

:06:18. > :06:26.handed over -- a decidedly Scottish appeal as they handed over the

:06:26. > :06:32.Ryder Cup to Scotland. After the Olympics and the World Cup, this is

:06:32. > :06:37.the biggest watch a dent in the planet. -- watched event on the

:06:37. > :06:43.planet. You can feel the atmosphere, it is going to be massive, huge, as

:06:43. > :06:50.they say in America, awesome. two years' time, this is where it

:06:50. > :06:59.will begin, the centenary course at Gleneagles, designed by Jack

:06:59. > :07:02.Nicklaus. Organisers know they have a tough act to follow. One has to

:07:02. > :07:09.construct a small town for people to come and visit and enjoy a, and

:07:09. > :07:13.look after themselves. It is a huge undertaking, and we have a sense of

:07:13. > :07:18.the scale of what we have to do. According to the Scottish

:07:18. > :07:27.government, that effort could be worth upwards of �100 million. It

:07:28. > :07:33.is a strong draw a golfing tourists. We thought we were taking Dales, --

:07:33. > :07:39.we were taking Gleneagles, it was unbelievable. We did not know that

:07:39. > :07:43.Europe is going to win, playing here is unbelievable. The backdrop

:07:43. > :07:47.is in place, now comes the hard bit for Gleneagles, producing a

:07:47. > :07:50.spectacle to rival that of this weekend.

:07:50. > :07:53.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the

:07:53. > :07:56.programme: The school dinners blogger Martha Payne is in Malawi,

:07:56. > :07:59.meeting some of the children she's helped through her website. And

:07:59. > :08:05.we're with the archaeologists on a site of huge national significance,

:08:05. > :08:08.in the Borders. And in sport Aiden McGeady tells us

:08:08. > :08:12.about his mixed emotions as he prepares to line up for Spartak

:08:12. > :08:15.Moscow against Celtic in the Champions League. And we look back

:08:15. > :08:23.at how Scotland's Paul Lawrie played his part in helping Europe

:08:23. > :08:26.stage that remarkable Ryder Cup comeback.

:08:26. > :08:31.More than 350 jobs are to go across Scotland following the collapse of

:08:31. > :08:40.the JJB chain of sports shops. Our business and economy editor Douglas

:08:40. > :08:48.Fraser, jobs going across the UK but how big a blow is this up here?

:08:48. > :08:55.It is a big blow, a big company. Right across the UK we learnt that

:08:55. > :09:00.2,200 people have lost their jobs. There were 26 stores in Scotland

:09:00. > :09:07.that have closed. 367 people, they have lost their jobs. There are

:09:07. > :09:12.some people helping with the wind down, so that number will crawl up.

:09:12. > :09:22.One of their rivals has bought 20 stores in the UK, only four of them

:09:22. > :09:23.

:09:23. > :09:32.in Scotland will be continued. That will sustain 60 jobs. The impact is

:09:32. > :09:42.a disproportionate, partly because of the link with Rangers. The

:09:42. > :09:47.

:09:47. > :09:53.Sports Division was at the core of the building up a -- of a big

:09:53. > :10:01.company. Do we know what went wrong? They got to be a, they got

:10:01. > :10:07.too much in debt. They did not keep their online market share. There

:10:07. > :10:14.has been a downturn in the economy, less cash coming in. Retail

:10:14. > :10:17.analysts are saying this is not a one-off. Those who want to survive

:10:17. > :10:25.are going to have to shed some of their high street shops if they

:10:25. > :10:28.want to get through this. A Police Constable who was accused

:10:28. > :10:31.of assaulting a prisoner at a police station in Saltcoats has

:10:31. > :10:33.been found not guilty. PC Peter Cullen had been accused of

:10:33. > :10:36.repeatedly knee'ing the prisoner in the head to his injury and

:10:36. > :10:46.permanent disfigurement, but he was aquitted today at Kilmarnock

:10:46. > :10:46.

:10:46. > :10:56.Sherrif court. PC Cullen, making no comment as he

:10:56. > :10:57.

:10:57. > :11:04.left court. The court heard that he needed a prisoner in the head, but

:11:04. > :11:08.in self-defence. The policeman told the court it was in self-defence,

:11:08. > :11:14.because he thought the prisoner was going to bite him, and he was

:11:14. > :11:20.worried about hepatitis and HIV. The jury came back, the eight women

:11:20. > :11:27.and seven men found him a not guilty by majority verdict. He

:11:27. > :11:30.nodded in the dock as the verdict was read out. The judge said to him

:11:30. > :11:37.that he had been found not guilty, and that they hope they could put

:11:37. > :11:45.this behind him. The man was taken to hospital for treatment, the

:11:45. > :11:53.Defence denied it was caused by a PC Cullen. It is pathetic, he

:11:53. > :11:58.should have gone to jail. defence counsel suggested that

:11:58. > :12:00.Peter Carlin had suffered enough because of a witch hunt.

:12:00. > :12:05.Strathclyde Police said their report would be presented to the

:12:05. > :12:07.Chief Constable. The taskforce fighting to save the

:12:07. > :12:10.threatened Halls of Broxburn food processing plant has met the

:12:10. > :12:13.company's board at its Dutch HQ in Eindhoven. A consultation period

:12:13. > :12:16.announced by the company on the future of the West Lothian site

:12:16. > :12:19.comes to an end on Wednesday. The Finance Secretary, John Swinney,

:12:19. > :12:24.says the meeting gave the taskforce a further opportunity to set out

:12:24. > :12:34.support available for the site. 1,700 jobs are at risk. A look now

:12:34. > :12:38.at what else has been happening across the country this Monday.

:12:38. > :12:42.A Highland castle described as the jewel in the crown of Scottish

:12:43. > :12:47.Youth hostelling may be closed indefinitely. Mounting bills have

:12:47. > :12:51.soared to around �6 million. Europe's bilious a military

:12:51. > :12:58.exercise has begun off the coast of Scotland. The operation involves a

:12:58. > :13:02.numerous jets, and an international flotilla of warships, and for the

:13:02. > :13:12.next 11 days a multinational force will train but combined operations.

:13:12. > :13:15.

:13:15. > :13:22.The charitable trust which owns the apple -- which owns an estate has

:13:22. > :13:29.rejected criticism of their plans. The major decisions are taken by

:13:29. > :13:34.the trust, there is no doubt about that, we can to our broadband, we

:13:34. > :13:42.can fight for our doctor services, but we can't do anything and with

:13:42. > :13:47.the land. A Scottish government fund dealing with wind farm

:13:47. > :13:52.applications has been described as a dropper the ocean. The �300,000

:13:52. > :13:58.fund has not been another according to a Scottish councillor. A new

:13:58. > :14:05.helpline for people with back pain has been launched by a -- the NHS.

:14:05. > :14:10.It will act as a first port of call. Firefighters were called out to

:14:10. > :14:13.rescue a man whose head was stuck in a public litter bin in Aberdeen,

:14:13. > :14:20.it is not known how or why he got into the predicament, but he was

:14:20. > :14:27.not injured. There are more stories from your area, and the latest news

:14:27. > :14:30.on the website. The Argyll school girl - whose blog

:14:30. > :14:34.about her school dinners - turned her into an internet sensation is

:14:34. > :14:37.in Malawi. Martha Payne's blog has now raised more than 100 thousand

:14:37. > :14:40.pounds for a charity providing food for children in Africa, and she's

:14:40. > :14:50.visiting to find out how that money is being spent. From Malawi, Laura

:14:50. > :14:53.

:14:53. > :15:01.This is what nine-year-old Martha Payne travelled over 5,000 miles to

:15:01. > :15:09.do. She was shy at first, showing family photographs and in return

:15:09. > :15:16.Ben took her to his school. Hello. The school is run by a Scottish

:15:16. > :15:21.charity, as well as lessons, the children are fed twice a day. Word

:15:21. > :15:26.about a visit spread and soon there were more children to play with.

:15:26. > :15:31.The clothes were dirty, full of holes, the kids were smiling,

:15:31. > :15:36.wonderful. Holmes was small and dark, no lighting, wood fires.

:15:36. > :15:41.Children sleeping on the floor in a thin blanket. And yet they get up

:15:41. > :15:48.every day, do their hard work, get firework and they go to school

:15:48. > :15:57.which is a good walk away. And so it is a different existence. It was

:15:57. > :16:02.an eye-opener for my children. What is it like making new friends? Fun.

:16:02. > :16:12.Then, time for Ben and his brother to do their chores. Children in

:16:12. > :16:14.

:16:14. > :16:19.Malawi carry water this way from the age of three. Martha was

:16:19. > :16:29.determined to give it a go. Was it fun? Yes. Putting water in the not

:16:29. > :16:31.

:16:31. > :16:35.carrying it! Martha and her family are from Holyrood. This is where

:16:35. > :16:43.they wanted to come. To see the effect is simple blog can have on

:16:43. > :16:45.the lives of others. The old Rangers Football Club owed more

:16:45. > :16:48.than �94 million in unpaid tax and penalties, according to its

:16:48. > :16:51.administrators. In its final report to creditors, Duff and Phelps is

:16:51. > :16:54.also claiming more than three million pounds in fees. Creditors

:16:54. > :16:57.have until the 12th of October to vote on the report. At the end of

:16:57. > :17:01.the administration period, the old Rangers will be placed in the hands

:17:01. > :17:04.of liquidators. Archaeologists have starting

:17:04. > :17:08.excavating a field in a Borders village where they believe an

:17:08. > :17:12.important mediaeval building was sited. The site is thought to be of

:17:12. > :17:20.huge national significance. Our reporter Cameron Buttle was there

:17:20. > :17:23.when the digging began. For centuries, Borderers have

:17:23. > :17:29.farmed this field, for generations there have been rumours there was

:17:29. > :17:34.once something hugely significant on this site. Experts believe they

:17:34. > :17:40.may have found it. Using the very latest technology, they have been

:17:40. > :17:45.able to look under the ground and they have seen the foundations of a

:17:45. > :17:50.building that dates back more than a 1000 years. I think it's a hugely

:17:50. > :17:57.significant. We are looking at effectively a bishop's palace on

:17:57. > :18:01.top of the hill with some subsidiary buildings down below.

:18:01. > :18:06.Bishops of Glasgow had this place for two to 300 years in the early

:18:06. > :18:13.medieval period. A very exciting find. Yes, very exciting. We knew

:18:13. > :18:17.it was here but after the geophysics we knew it was special.

:18:17. > :18:21.With each bucket load of turf lifted, excitement grows. As well

:18:21. > :18:26.as a bishop's palace, it was also rumoured to be a stronghold of the

:18:26. > :18:31.Knights Templar. The signs are this field was once at the centre of

:18:31. > :18:36.medieval religion and politics. When we did a geophysical survey,

:18:36. > :18:40.we saw a very large structure, dead straight lines at right angles. It

:18:40. > :18:45.seems to be a large stone-built structure and if we are talking

:18:45. > :18:50.about a medieval building, no medieval building would be built of

:18:50. > :18:55.stone of that size unless it was of considerable high-status. The

:18:55. > :19:02.possibility it is a medieval palace is good but we will not know until

:19:02. > :19:06.we get down into it. For the experts, this could be a site of

:19:06. > :19:16.national significance. For the locals, it is also a great chance

:19:16. > :19:17.

:19:17. > :19:20.to sniff around and seek who the neighbours used to be. The The

:19:20. > :19:23.president of the Scottish Football Association Campbell Ogilvie has

:19:23. > :19:28.admitted that he hasn't been able to do his job properly for the past

:19:28. > :19:33.six months. Ogilvie's had to take a back seat in discussions over

:19:33. > :19:36.Rangers - because of his previous connection with the club. For more

:19:37. > :19:40.on all this let's cross to our reporter Alasdair Lamont, who's at

:19:40. > :19:50.Hampden. Al, this seems to be a pretty frank admission from the

:19:50. > :19:52.

:19:52. > :19:56.president. Yes, it is. Let me put in context.

:19:56. > :20:01.Ogle the was a previous secretary and company director at Rangers

:20:01. > :20:06.Park during the time they operated employee benefit trust, a tax

:20:06. > :20:11.avoidance scheme of which he himself was the beneficiary to the

:20:11. > :20:19.tune of �95,000. As a result, he has not been involved in any of the

:20:19. > :20:23.discussions over the club's future. During the talks, the club were

:20:23. > :20:29.asked to accept the stripping of titles and a place for the Scottish

:20:29. > :20:33.First Division. He says his understanding is is because Green

:20:33. > :20:36.asked for potential scenarios and sanctions to be presented but the

:20:36. > :20:41.President has spoken of his frustration at not being able to

:20:41. > :20:44.address the issue more fully. am blunt, I believe the last six

:20:44. > :20:48.months, I have not been doing my job properly because they could not

:20:48. > :20:54.take part in the debate and its bothered me. There was no

:20:54. > :20:59.alternative to that. And now we are at where we are at and I would like

:20:59. > :21:06.to sit down and speak to Charles Green.

:21:06. > :21:12.Campbell Ogilvie has stated his conscience is clear in terms of his

:21:12. > :21:18.use of the tax avoidance. A tribunal give its verdict this

:21:18. > :21:23.month, I asked Campbell it will be a big decision is against Rangers

:21:23. > :21:30.and will it make his position untenable. You have to remember at

:21:30. > :21:34.the time they were clearly legal so I cannot... Let's see what comes

:21:34. > :21:38.out of it. Further down the line, we will have to wait and see and if

:21:38. > :21:45.there is a feeling it is causing an issue, I would discuss that with

:21:45. > :21:49.the association. The verdict is due this month. How

:21:49. > :21:56.that affects Campbell Ogilvie will be just a small part of the fall-

:21:56. > :21:59.out. Very interesting stuff. Now, the

:21:59. > :22:01.former Celtic winger Aiden McGeady admits that he'll have mixed

:22:01. > :22:04.emotions facing his old club in the Champions League. The winger now

:22:04. > :22:07.plays for Spartak Moscow, who host Celtic tomorrow evening. Celtic

:22:07. > :22:10.overcame Spartak five years ago to reach the group stages of the

:22:10. > :22:20.Champions League and McGeady was part of that Celtic team. Spartak

:22:20. > :22:21.

:22:21. > :22:28.signed the Irish international in 2010 for �9.5 million.

:22:28. > :22:35.Playing at time, the record has not been good at home. With the fans'

:22:35. > :22:45.backing, the chance is Celtic are not used at playing on the pitch.

:22:45. > :22:45.

:22:45. > :22:48.It will be tricky game for Celtic. It is going to be an exciting game.

:22:48. > :22:51.Well, as we heard earlier in the programme, it was a great comeback

:22:51. > :22:54.from Europe to win the Ryder Cup against the USA - and Scotland's

:22:54. > :22:58.Paul Lawrie more than played his part. The Aberdonian was the only

:22:58. > :23:08.Scot in Jose Marie Olazabel's team. And Lawrie played a crucial role in

:23:08. > :23:11.

:23:11. > :23:15.He is a marvellous chipper. Paul Lawrie played a pivotal role. He

:23:15. > :23:23.has seen a return to form, this effort really got the juices

:23:23. > :23:27.flowing. You a little gem. I've never seen him so excited. He was

:23:27. > :23:31.part of the European team which lost to Lee essay in Brooklyn in

:23:31. > :23:38.1999. His opponent this time Snedeker could not cope with the

:23:38. > :23:46.man from Aberdeen. The second point of the final day, five and three as

:23:46. > :23:53.Europe completed a comeback. A lot better than 99. That was pretty
