:00:22. > :00:30.Bow welcome to Reporting Scotland. Scotland no more for Craig Levein.
:00:30. > :00:32.After weeks of speculation about his future. I am at Hampden Park
:00:32. > :00:36.where the Scottish Football Association are due to speak in the
:00:36. > :00:40.next half an hour. We will look at some of the runners and riders to
:00:40. > :00:44.replace him as Scotland manager. An officer dies after a shooting
:00:44. > :00:48.incident at this Glasgow police station. An investigation is under
:00:48. > :00:51.way. The family of this man killed in a
:00:51. > :00:56.New Zealand mine disaster at say they are angry and disappointed to
:00:56. > :00:59.hear the accident was preventable. We report on the clampdown on the
:00:59. > :01:07.unofficial bonfires as the authorities urged people to go to
:01:07. > :01:11.organised displays. Craig Levein is no longer the
:01:12. > :01:15.Scotland football manager. He leaves less than three years into a
:01:15. > :01:19.five-year contract. And after a string of bad results. Despite
:01:19. > :01:22.weeks of speculation the Scottish Football Association have refused
:01:23. > :01:28.to say whether or not he had been sacked or whether he left with a
:01:28. > :01:32.pay-off reputed to be around �700,000. Let's go to Hampden Park
:01:32. > :01:37.and our reporter there. Only a few days ago he said he
:01:37. > :01:42.wanted to stay. Did he have a change of mind or was he pushed?
:01:42. > :01:46.I think we can say with some certainty he has not had a change
:01:46. > :01:52.of heart. The board has been deliberating over the last week
:01:52. > :01:57.also as to whether he did indeed have a future as Scotland manager.
:01:57. > :02:01.They might say in the next half-an- hour they have announced a news
:02:01. > :02:06.conference for 7pm. It does mark the final day of his Scotland
:02:06. > :02:10.tenure. Almost three years ago Craig Levein
:02:10. > :02:17.was seen as the man who could restored respectability to the
:02:17. > :02:19.national team. Now having failed to do so he will be replaced. I am
:02:19. > :02:24.more disappointed than anybody because I was behind his
:02:24. > :02:28.appointment. It is sad it has come to this. But at the end of the day
:02:28. > :02:33.football is football, everything is a result striven, and that is what
:02:33. > :02:37.has been his downfall. -- results driven. He was a popular
:02:37. > :02:43.figure in the dressing room but player-power couldn't save him.
:02:43. > :02:45.players have got to take responsibility. The players we have
:02:45. > :02:51.are not world class players. We have got good players that work
:02:51. > :02:55.well together but it hasn't worked out since the campaign started. It
:02:55. > :03:04.is results that count on the grass. He hasn't got those results and it
:03:04. > :03:09.backfires on the manager. This is the record that cost and so delay.
:03:09. > :03:18.-- cost him so Dili. One of the highlights was this winner against
:03:18. > :03:22.lowly Liechtenstein. Then there was the defeat in Prague. He played a
:03:22. > :03:30.striker Les formation which has haunted him ever since. A fall-out
:03:30. > :03:35.with Stephen Fletcher led to a lengthy stand-off. Nothing has
:03:35. > :03:39.changed on the Stephen Fletcher front. We are here to talk about
:03:39. > :03:44.people involved in that squad for the game against Slovenia. If you
:03:44. > :03:50.don't mind we will stick to that. The Euro 2012 campaign ended
:03:50. > :03:59.controversially. A late check penalty meant despair for the Scots.
:03:59. > :04:06.-- Czech. The campaign quickly fell to pieces. Last month defeating
:04:06. > :04:10.Belgium the final straw, ending his time in charge -- defeat in Belgium.
:04:10. > :04:15.They will be a news conference at 7pm, just as we can offer. There
:04:15. > :04:23.have been five Scola man-eaters in the past decade. Who is in the
:04:23. > :04:27.running -- Scotland managers. People like Gordon Strachan, the
:04:27. > :04:33.former Celtic manager, he is out of a job and will come under
:04:33. > :04:39.consideration. Walter Smith, a former Scotland manager. These are
:04:39. > :04:43.questions I will put to the chief- executive Andy president in a short
:04:43. > :04:47.time. We will have a go best in a bit more detail later.
:04:47. > :04:51.-- have a look at this. A police officer has died in a shooting
:04:51. > :04:55.incident at a police station in Glasgow. Nobody else is understood
:04:55. > :05:01.to have been involved which happened at one of the city's main
:05:01. > :05:05.police stations. It is not clear exactly what
:05:05. > :05:12.happened here this morning. What we do know is that at 11am an
:05:12. > :05:15.ambulance was called. It left some time later without a casualty.
:05:15. > :05:20.Strathclyde police have subsequently said an officer died
:05:20. > :05:25.following what is says was the discharge of a firearm. We do know
:05:25. > :05:29.it wasn't a crime. We are not sure whether it was an accident, perhaps
:05:29. > :05:33.when an officer was handling a firearm. This is where all of the
:05:33. > :05:38.officers who of firearms train to in the division which covers the
:05:38. > :05:43.north and east of Glasgow are based. Strathclyde police have so far
:05:43. > :05:48.issued no details of the officer, his name or rank. They will not do
:05:48. > :05:51.that until his family have been informed. The assistant chief
:05:51. > :05:56.constable say the force is thoughts are with the officers family,
:05:56. > :06:02.friends and his colleagues -- forced's thoughts. As is usual in
:06:02. > :06:05.cases like this an outside force has been appointed to oversee an
:06:05. > :06:11.investigation. Officers from Lothian and borders Constabulary
:06:11. > :06:13.will be here in the morning. The family of a young man from five
:06:13. > :06:18.he died in a mining disaster in New Zealand say they hope lessons will
:06:18. > :06:21.be learnt. Malcolm Hampden -- Malcolm Campbell and Pete Rodger

:06:35. > :06:40.home near St Andrews. Today they have been studying the report into
:06:40. > :06:44.the disaster that took their son's life. They simply cannot believe

:07:03. > :07:06.Royal Commission report is scathing about safety standards at the Pike
:07:06. > :07:10.River Mine. We know accidents happen and we have got to do
:07:10. > :07:18.whatever we can to make it safe and prevented, but this has been a

:19:28. > :19:33.for that was due to be named tomorrow. That has been put back

:19:44. > :19:49.Under 21 Scotland manager, will step up. Those working alongside
:19:49. > :19:57.Craig Levein will not be stepping into the breach. The Luxembourg
:19:57. > :20:01.game is next Wednesday. But beyond that, we will be asking at a news

:21:33. > :21:37.home soil since winning the US Open, but it was a battle from the start
:21:37. > :21:41.for Andy Murray at the season- ending ATP Tour finals. After
:21:41. > :21:44.losing the first set to Tomas Berdych, Murray finally found his
:21:44. > :21:48.rhythm in the second set and was able to ease over the finish line
:21:48. > :21:55.he in just over two hours. Job done, but he is taking nothing for
:21:55. > :21:59.granted. You need to try and treat it like a knockout event. If you
:21:59. > :22:03.have won your first two matches, you have a good chance of
:22:03. > :22:09.progressing, so you need to adjust focus like it is the end of a major
:22:09. > :22:13.event. I got the wind today, but I have also won two matches here and
:22:13. > :22:20.not gone through a few years ago. It happened with del Potro. Every
:22:20. > :22:23.game counts. Remember, remember the fifth of
:22:23. > :22:27.November - but in a good way. That is the hope of the emergency
:22:27. > :22:32.services tonight. Usually, Guy Fawkes' Night sees a rise in anti-
:22:32. > :22:40.social behaviour and violence, so police have come up with them an
:22:40. > :22:44.unusual method of monitoring what is going on.
:22:44. > :22:49.The party atmosphere is building here at Glasgow Green. Around
:22:49. > :22:53.50,000 people are expected to come here. This is one of the organised
:22:53. > :22:57.events we are being encouraged to go to. Why? Because they are
:22:57. > :23:01.designed to be safe and fun for all the family. But there is another
:23:01. > :23:07.side to Bonfire Night. We went out on patrol today to see how
:23:07. > :23:11.unofficial bonfires are dealt with. Community enforcement officer Mark
:23:11. > :23:21.Harvey and police officer Nicola Brown are working together, finding
:23:21. > :23:22.
:23:22. > :23:30.unsafe bonfires. By removing its unofficial bonfires, there is a
:23:30. > :23:34.possibility of preventing anything serious. If people gather around an
:23:34. > :23:40.unofficial bonfires, there is a chance of under-aged drinking as
:23:40. > :23:46.well. First stop. This bonfire has already been dismantled. It was
:23:46. > :23:52.made up of 100 doors from a disused properties. Back in the van, a few
:23:52. > :23:58.minutes down the road, our next call. Another bonfire, about four
:23:58. > :24:04.metres high. Nicola and Mark contact the council to clean up.
:24:05. > :24:13.is close to their houses and built on uneven ground. The bonfire could
:24:13. > :24:19.topple and if anyone was in the vicinity, it would be dangerous.
:24:19. > :24:22.Substances can give off toxic fumes. Young people build unofficial
:24:22. > :24:26.bonfires, which can have dangerous consequences. These is
:24:26. > :24:31.traditionally one of the busiest nights of the Year for emergency
:24:31. > :24:36.services. We are taking some of the pressure of police and fire
:24:36. > :24:41.services tonight by identifying and removing hazards. But the patrol
:24:41. > :24:46.carries on. There are events all around the
:24:46. > :24:51.country. There is a sell-out at Edinburgh. There is going to be a
:24:51. > :25:01.theme night on Aberdeen Beach. The fireworks start here at 7:30pm. The

:25:06. > :25:11.It is certainly keep him off. Here is the Guy Fawkes weather forecast.
:25:11. > :25:18.It is a tale of two halves. Starts off dry and cold, but turns out wet.
:25:18. > :25:23.What a gorgeous day it was across Scotland. We saw glorious sunshine.
:25:23. > :25:27.Mind you, it was a cold start. Under the clear skies, it is
:25:27. > :25:34.turning cold again. If you have not set out yet to go to an event, it
:25:34. > :25:40.will be dry and cold, perfect conditions. After midnight, we see
:25:40. > :25:49.cloud, wind and rain spilling into the north and west. This advances
:25:49. > :25:53.down across the country. It will turn milder through the course of
:25:54. > :26:02.the night. That sets up a change for the coming week. Tomorrow
:26:02. > :26:08.morning starts off on a grey, damp and drizzly note. Around the middle
:26:08. > :26:18.part of the afternoon, we hold on to those cloudy skies across the
:26:18. > :26:19.
:26:19. > :26:28.south-west. Glimmers of brightness for Tayside. There is a lot more
:26:28. > :26:32.rain across the north-west Highlands. To end the day, it stays
:26:32. > :26:36.cloudy. Rain continues across the north and west and it remains windy.
:26:36. > :26:43.The pressure chart shows a mixture of low pressure systems coming in
:26:43. > :26:53.off the Atlantic on Wednesday. The first one will bring in strong
:26:53. > :26:55.
:26:55. > :27:01.winds and heavy rain. It will be drier further east. A brief ridge
:27:01. > :27:09.of high pressure set in on Thursday. It will be drier before the next
:27:09. > :27:13.weather system moves in. It is a mild unsettled week to come. Enjoy
:27:13. > :27:17.this evening Andy safe. We will watch the fireworks from the office
:27:17. > :27:21.window. Craig Levein has been sacked as
:27:21. > :27:25.this column football manager. The SFA confirmed the decision, saying
:27:25. > :27:28.it was taken primarily due to disappointing results in the World
