Tonight, on Reporting Scotland: Fresh revelations from Australia -

the monks who formed a paedophile ring and sexually abused boys at a

school in the Highlands and East Lothian. Once again we confront a

monk accused of being part of a paedophile ring at a boys' school

in Scotland. They are supposed to be helping

fight against Scotland's record as the second fattest country, but a

BBC investigation suggests the healthy eating message isn't

getting through in some hospitals. Ready for the next battle - the

Tartan Army army are hoping Scotland-England games will again

be a regular event. Would you like to see the game come back as a

regular fixture? Yeah so, every couple of years. -- yes, every

couple of years. Also tonight, a Hollywood classic

comes to Edinburgh. One of the most popular films of all time, The

comes to Edinburgh. One of the most Shawshank Redemption, is

transformed for the festival stage. Good evening. Calls are mounting

for an independent inquiry into the deepening child sex abuse scandal

at a former Catholic boarding school in the Highlands. Yesterday

a former head teacher of the Fort Augustus Abbey school resigned from

a former head teacher of the Fort his post at Oxford University over

allegations he covered up abuse in the 1970s. Tonight, fresh

revelations have emerged about the Australian monks who formed a

paedophile ring and sexually abused boys over three decades at the

Abbey and its feeder school in East Lothian. Our investigations

correspondent Mark Daly is here with the latest.

We've heard a lot about the Benedictine monks who ran these

exclusive boarding schools in the past weeks, particularly about

these two Australian monks - Fatherr Aidan Duggan and Father

Chrysostom Alexander. But now we can reveal a third Australian Monk

was part of this paedophile ring - Father Fabian Duggan, the brother

of Aidan. All three Australians had arrived

at Fort Augustus in the early '50s. We've spoken to four former pupils

at Fort Augustus in the early '50s. who were abused, or witnessed abuse

by Father Fabian. Kees Vogt, who started at Carlekempe as an eight-

year-old in 1969, is one of them. Father Fabian Duggan, he had a long

narrow room and what he would do is he would attempt to port the

narrow room and what he would do is children in to talk to them. He

would then tend to go to the other side and he would be trapped inside

would then tend to go to the other the room and you could not get out

again. It was endemic. It happened the whole time and I knew for

myself that even though people, priests tried to do things to me,

there was no point really to report this two other priests or anything

like this because... And you would just be taught you were a liar.

Like the other Australians, Father Fabian had left Scotland in the

1970s. With no warnings given by the Benedictines about their

behaviour, he became a parish priest in Sydney. We submitted our

allegations to him and the Sydney Catholic church last Friday, but he

had died the same day, aged 83. His brother is also dead.

The last surviving Monk accused of sexual abuse is Father Chrysostom.

Yesterday we revealed fresh sexual abuse is Father Chrysostom.

allegations of abuse by him and pressure is now growing for him to

be brought back to Scotland to face his accusers. Our BBC colleague in

Australia takes up the main story. One of the main suspects in an

alleged paedophile ring is still refusing to face up to his past. We

delivered a letter to Father Chrysostom Alexander. He is still

refusing to talk to us. Get off my property. We have further

allegations made against you by a former student who alleges you

abused him in Scotland. We would very much like to hear your side of

the story, sir, please. Father Chrysostom Alexander has not come

to the door. We have just heard him shouting, ordering us off his

property. So no public comment from Father Chrysostom Alexander, who is

facing more allegations. Clearly, this is a man who is laying at low

at his home, here in suburban Sydney, but without question the

pressure on him at his mountain. He is being investigated by the

Catholic Church and the police in New South Wales. There is no

apparent obstacle to his extradition, assuming he is of good

health and the Scottish authorities are able to present their case

health and the Scottish authorities before the court. I don't see there

should be any obstacle to sending him back. Bicton save the abuse has

left a trail of destruction. The Catholic Church says it is fully

committed to uncovering the truth. And you can see Mark's updated

investigation Sins Of Our Fathers on BBC Two next Monday evening at

11.20pm. NATO has confirmed that a meeting

took place with Scottish Government officials last month to discuss

membership of the Alliance in the event of a yes vote in next year's

independence referendum. The meeting was held in Brussels in

early July and was facilitated by the UK delegation, who were present

for the discussion. Scottish civil servants met with

senior NATO officials in Brussels last month to discuss membership of

the alliance in the event of independence. Last year at the SNP

dropped its opposition to NATO. NATO officials refused to comment

and the SNP's political opponents save their policies do not add up.

They are desperate to join NATO because the people in Scotland are

desperate for the security that comes with that membership. What

they cannot do his disregard the central tenet of NATO and that is

the nuclear alliance. If Scotland becomes independent, it will be

viewed as a new state and will have to go through the standard

application procedures. Above all, it is argued that other NATO states

would not want Scotland to be interested. It is in the interest

of NATO and Scotland for Scotland to remain a member. We have always

made it clear that our membership of NATO it will be contingent on

getting rid of nuclear weapons from Scotland. Officials at NATO HQ say

the final decision on Scottish alliance membership will be down to

the member states. Until then, the Scottish people will have to make

their own decisions in the referendum next year.

You are watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the

programme: Remembering the last ever execution

by hanging in Scotland. In sport - after last night's

thrilling England Scotland match at Wembley, we ask what are the

chances of playing our oldest footballing foes every year?

And find out who's been declared preferred bidder for Hearts.

A BBC investigation is questioning how seriously hospitals are taking

the Government's healthy living campaign. Health boards have been

under pressure to improve the choices of food available to both

patients and visitors, yet secret filming reveals the message in some

hospitals is not getting through. Samantha Poling's exclusive report

contains some images of surgical procedures.

Is there any fruit? A patient trolley about to go on its ward

rounds in a Glasgow hospital. It doesn't go on the ward round? It

doesn't. Or would be a healthy option? My next stop is the

hospital canteen. It is only 11 o'clock, but the pizzas and chips

up there in abundance. Scotland is now the second fattest country in

the world. This a obesity epidemic cost the NHS in Scotland £200

million a year. Yet this hospital consultant says you need look no

further than a hospital reception areas to question the commitment of

help boards to -- in promoting healthy eating. A good example of

what we should not be given to patients is in hour vending

machines. A patient with heart problems was given macaroni and

mashed potato for lunch. This man had a bypass on the NHS. Without it

he believes he would be dead. My mother and my stepsister died from

being obese. That was really hard. You saw this happen and yet you

just carried on. If you had a had the gastric surgery, what would

have happened? A I would have died. I would have died. No doubt then?

None. I would have been no more. This consultant barrier tricks

surgeon says the toll of these This consultant barrier tricks

patients are taking -- says the toll of these patients are taking

on the NHS is immense. This is not a quick fix. It is a dangerous

surgery and very expensive. The Ministry for Health says that

health boards need to take responsibility. The industry needs

to recognise it has a part to play in causing the problem. They also

need to play a part in solving it. They are not doing enough at the

moment. The message from government is that it really isn't adequate.

We want to see them taking action and if they don't, we are prepared

to legislate when necessary. The government says more details of

that legislative framework will be revealed in the autumn.

And you can see more of Samantha Poling's investigation in tonight's

film Scotland The Fat on BBC One at eight o'clock.

A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a 59-year-old

man on a bus in the Yoker area of Glasgow on Monday. 46-year-old

Laurence Patrick from Clydebank appeared in private at Glasgow

Sheriff Court charged with fatally stabbing Alexander Glassford on the

bus in Dumbarton Road. Patrick made no plea and was remanded in custody.

Time now for other stories from across Scotland this evening:

Edinburgh's controversial tramway system, which is still under

construction, is to be integrated with other public transport

construction, is to be integrated services in the city. Edinburgh

City Council is to create a new organisation called Transport for

Edinburgh. The body will also have responsibility for buses and

improving facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. That is

aware first priority - how can we integrate? We need to make sure

people can move easily between the bus service and the new tram

service. The Aberdeen-based Stewart Milne

Group is to pay the city council £1 million in an out of court

settlement over a land deal. It follows a Supreme Court ruling

against the construction company involving the sale of land at

Westhill. The number of people living on

Scotland's islands has increased, according to the latest census

figures. Much of the rise is down to an 11% jump in the population on

Orkney in the ten years to 2011. Lewis and Harris have also seen an

increase. But other islands such as Arran, Bute, Tiree and Islay have

seen numbers of residents fall. The cancer charity Marie Curie is

to provide more nursing staff for Skye and Lochalsh to allow

terminally ill patients to die at home. Research suggests the numbers

of terminally ill people who want to spend their last days in their

own homes is increasing. A new global industry body which

represents salmon farmers has been launched in Norway. Most farmed

salmon is produced in Scotland, Norway, Canada and Chile and the

Global Salmon Initiative will unite 15 of the industry's leading

companies from all four countries. The group will look at ways of

expanding salmon farming and address environmental concerns.

And there are more stories from your area and all the latest news

24 hours a day on BBC Scotland's website.

50 years ago today the last ever hanging took place in Scotland.

Henry Burnett's execution for murdering his lover's husband was

Henry Burnett's execution for the only one to be held at

Aberdeen's Craiginches jail in its 123 year history.

This is the execution chamber in which Henry Burnett drew his last

breath. A trapdoor opened and he fell through. August 15, 1963, the

prison was said to be almost silent. A slight smile. He came through the

store accompanied by the executioner and the prison officers. I got a

momentary glimpse of him as he passed me and it was sufficient for

me to recognise him. Henry Burnett was found guilty of murder after the

three-day trial. Many felt the execution was harsh. The crowd

outside the jail failed to stop the punishment. Other the papers

followed this story with interest, there were no big sensational

headlines. On the day of the execution, it simply said, ETA clock

the fateful hour for Henry Burnett. Supporters viewed the crime as a

crime of passion. He was having an affair with a married woman, her

husband ended up dead. He thought she was going back to our husband so

he wanted to get the husband out of the way. He stole his brother's

scone and came here to get rid of the husband to protect his

relationship. As with anyone sentenced to death, the prisoner

never had any opportunity to leave the jail. He was buried on site, in

an unmarked grave, somewhere around here. With the jail due to close

next year, Henry Burnett will finally escape the prison walls.

Locks are being held with his family about what should happen to his

remains. -- talks. Time for the sports News now with

David Currie, back in the studio after the Wembley adventure.

The Scottish Football Association have held talks with their

counterparts in England about a possible return fixture against the

auld enemy. It's after Scotland were last night defeated 3-2 by England

at Wembley. But it was a memorable encounter, as Jonathan Sutherland

reports. Train. Tartan Army returning home after their missions

those with a buoyant mood generally. How heartened to you by

the performance? It was better than a has-been in recent years. The team

was brilliant. I thought the whole team was terrific. The girl from

Rickie Lambert to make it 3-2 meant glorious failure in terms of the

result. It was a performance which raised Scottish Hearts and continued

the sense that things are improving under manager Gordon Strachan. James

Morrison stand Wembley by pitting Scotland into the lead. England hit

back. Tom Cleverley's pash unleashing Theo Walcott to draw

level for England. Scotland were not finished. Kenny Miller push to

Scotland into the lead for a second time. England equalised again, this

time through Danny Welbeck. A brave showing, despite the end result.

Every two years I would say. How much did you enjoy the game? It was

amazing. As the Tartan Army returning home after their missions

south, the mission is clear. The oldest international fixtures should

return on a more regular basis, but is it practical? From a policing

perspective it is just another football match. We have more than

enough resources to deal with any event which was to feature in the

calendar. There's a lot of history involved in these fixtures. 14 years

has long time to wait since the last one. A biennial appearance could

work quite well. The SFA are keen on a return fixture and believe their

English counterparts who has seen. Fitting into the crowded fixture

list will be the trick. Once the draw for your 2016 is made, talks

might take place. The administrators at Hearts have

chosen the supporters group The Foundation of Hearts as preferred

bidders for the club. The Tynecastle side entered administration in June

with debts of about £28 million. They now have to reach some sort of

financial agreement with the club's main creditors who are based in

Lithuania. Brian McLauchlin has more. Less than one week after

saving a derby day success over their rivals. Paterson makes the

derby day breakthrough. Bands have been given the news they were hoping

for regarding potential ownership of the club. It is fantastic. We still

have a long way to go, but now we know that the foundation are the

preferred bidders, I think that is the news that myself and all the

playing staff and other staff are looking forward to hearing. It is a

big day for the football club and we hope we can move forward now. The

foundation plan to take money from the bank account of fans who have

pledged early next month but that is still some way to go. The secured

creditors are owed around £25 million. The foundation have around

3 million. How confident are the administrators that a deal can be

concluded? It is a very difficult situation we inherited, especially

about the cash flow situation. We have moved on quite positively,

having a preferred bidder is positive. We're in good

communication with the Lithuanian bank so I would say we're slightly

further on and I thought we might be. Still some way to go before the

deal was concluded, but progress has been made as the fans rallied to try

and save their beloved club. Scots hurdler Eilidh Child finished

fifth in the final of the world championships in Moscow. It was the

first time the Perth Athlete had qualified for the final. That's her

in the outside lane. After the race the Commonwealth Games silver

medallist said she could have done even better. My whole aim was to

come here and make the final. If you said I would be first, I would take

that. But seeing the times, I could have got a medal and I am a bit

disappointed. He led Europe's best golfers to a

Ryder Cup win over the United States in 2002. Now Sam Torrance has been

chosen to skipper Great Britain and Ireland against the rest of Europe

in the Sevvy Trophy. Named in honour of the late Sevvy Ballesteros.

That's not why he donned mortar board and robes though - he was in

the University town of St Andrews promoting the Seniors Open which

starts there tomorrow but he had time to reflect on his new job. The

trophy, yes it is fantastic and it was a surprise. To be honest, I

never thought if I would be capped and again it would be against the

Europeans, but it is a fantastic honour. Anything which is a memorial

for Seve Ballesteros is a joy to be part of.

Thank you. The Shawshank Redemption - set in an

American prison - is most famous as a Hollywood film. But in Edinburgh,

some of the festival's best known comedians have gone back to the

Stephen King book for a new stage version. Our arts correspondent

reports. A 6-figure budget, a cast of top

actors and comedians and a story best known from the 1995 film.

Bringing the Shawshank Redemption to the stage has not been without its

challenges. Everybody has an idea in their head of auditors but we were

not allowed to use anything from the movie. It was a challenge to try and

make it, what is the word? It is the latest in a long line of film

inspired Fringe shows. For one actor it is a chance to right a wrong

decision. I turned down a part in the movie. A skydiving movie

instead. So I am back. Ever since that day, eight years ago. It offers

a rare opportunity for Fringe regulars and newcomers. I am

slightly older. They asked me why I wanted to do this play and I said I

wanted to go to the festival. It does not seem a bad thing to be

doing. The play has proved to be a big hit with audiences but it is

still too early to tell whether this show will transfer once more to the

West End. Now we get the weather forecast.

Thank you very much. Good evening. Fairly cloudy across much of the

country tonight with heavy and persistent rain in central and

southern parts of Scotland. There as the rain just in towards the Central

Belt, but tends to pull away towards England overnight. 12 showers, but

generally confined to the far north so it will be dry for most of us

tonight. It is humid with temperatures at around 13 Celsius.

Tomorrow will be a fresher day. It stars of cloudy with showers in the

West, dry and bright in the East. Through the day it becomes sunshine

and showers. These showers being driven towards the east through the

day. Temperatures in the high teens and perhaps into the 20s in the

north and east. Thicker cloud across the Hebrides and also for Orkney and

Shetland. The rest of the afternoon and evening, we tend to lose the

showers and it turns drive the time. Out in the Atlantic, we can see this

area of low pressure coming our way. That is the weather for Saturday. It

brings heavy rain and some strengthening winds, potentially

deal forced up the West Coast. Saturday morning will see the

heaviest rain but it will improve by the afternoon, especially in the

West. Continued improvement by Sunday because this area of low

pressure. We are to the far north. It reaches Shetland on Sunday. The

mainland is not too bad on Sunday. Still a strong westerly breeze. One

to light showers. It should be dry. Sunday will be better than Saturday.

More details online. Thank you very much. I remainder of

the top news. Calls are mounting for an independent enquiry into the

deepening child sex abuse scandal at a former Catholic boarding school in

the Highlands. Fresh revelations have emerged about the Australian

monks who formed a suspected paedophile ring and sexually abused

boys over three decades. In Egypt that has been a sharp rise

in the official death toll from yesterday's clashes between the

security forces and supporters of the ousted president. At least 525

people are now known to have died. NATO has confirmed that a meeting

took place with the Scottish Government officials last month to

discuss membership of the alliance in the event of a yes vote in next

year's independence referendum. The former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee

Travis has been charged with 11 counts of indecent assault and one

count of sexual assault. It follows an investigation by detectives from

Operation Yewtree, the enquiry set up by Scotland Yard.

Enjoy your evening. Goodbye.
