:01:57. > :02:01.counts of domestic abuse against three of his former wives and
:02:01. > :02:06.stepdaughter over 28 years. This morning, he learned his fate. The
:02:06. > :02:11.Sheriff told Walker that however incredible is he may be at the
:02:11. > :02:15.verdict, it was her duty to sentence him. She said that she had been
:02:15. > :02:20.unable to detect any evidence, either during the trial or from
:02:20. > :02:25.background ports, of any remorse for anyone or anything other than
:02:25. > :02:28.himself. She said with regard to the gravity of offences, his extreme
:02:28. > :02:35.denial and complete absence of remorse, her only option was the
:02:35. > :02:40.custodial sentence. She sentenced him to the maximum of 12 months in
:02:40. > :02:43.prison. His second wife is the mother of his three children and
:02:43. > :02:48.stepdaughter. Walker beat her, punched her, frightened her during
:02:48. > :02:53.their marriage in the 70s and 80s. I don't really have any feeling or
:02:53. > :02:57.anything like that. -- feeling of elation. In fact, I feel quite sad
:02:57. > :03:04.it has had to come to this. The first time he really battered me,
:03:04. > :03:07.when Douglas was in a pram, and I said he was not worthy of the
:03:07. > :03:14.labelled father. Were you frightened? Years. Still? I am
:03:14. > :03:22.frightened that when he gets out, yes. Diana was Bill Walker's third
:03:22. > :03:26.wife, he punished and beat her also. I think it is true what the
:03:26. > :03:30.Sheriff said. Things that happen to you, especially where violence is
:03:30. > :03:35.involved, they don't go away. They are in here, they don't go away. It
:03:35. > :03:42.doesn't matter the time span or time lapse, they are always there. Bill
:03:42. > :03:46.Walker was elected to the Scottish Parliament for Dunfermline in 2011.
:03:46. > :03:50.He was expelled from the SNP with the charges were brought but carried
:03:50. > :03:54.on as an independent until almost two weeks ago, when he resigned,
:03:54. > :04:00.blaming the media. His lawyer said this had cost him his reputation and
:04:00. > :04:09.financially. He still protests his innocence. Clearly he is
:04:09. > :04:13.disappointed at outcome. He is still maintaining his innocence. Has he no
:04:13. > :04:16.more subtle? He is mentioning his innocence. You cannot fill rewards
:04:16. > :04:21.that something you say you did not do. He has been sentenced to 12
:04:21. > :04:29.months but could be out earlier. Tonight, he spends his first night
:04:29. > :04:32.in prison. There's a warning that hundreds of
:04:32. > :04:35.children are being blackmailed into performing sexual acts online by
:04:35. > :04:39.paedophiles, who threaten to send obscene images of the victims to
:04:39. > :04:42.their families. The Child Exploitation and Online Protection
:04:42. > :04:47.Centre says children as young as eight are being targeted. In recent
:04:47. > :04:51.months, the death of a teenager from Fife has been linked to this issue.
:04:51. > :04:55.Well, our reporter Laura Maxwell is here now. What more can you tell us,
:04:55. > :05:01.Laura? Sally, as with many internet crimes,
:05:01. > :05:04.no-one really knows the full extent of this problem, but what CEOP has
:05:04. > :05:07.revealed today is that it's definitely on the increase. They've
:05:07. > :05:11.identified at least 184 victims in the UK over the last two years. The
:05:11. > :05:17.most serious case - that of 17-year-old Daniel Perry from
:05:17. > :05:24.Dunfermline, who died in July. He killed himself. He befriended an
:05:24. > :05:29.American girl his own age and sent her explicit images. -- he thought
:05:29. > :05:32.she was his own age. When the blackmailers threatened to send
:05:32. > :05:35.those to his family unless he gave them money, he killed himself. What
:05:35. > :05:39.the problem is with this sort of crime is that a lot of parents feel
:05:39. > :05:44.particularly helpless because they're teenagers are more
:05:44. > :05:47.technically aware than they are. The police as saying the easiest way to
:05:47. > :05:52.protect children is by talking to them. As children get older, they
:05:52. > :05:57.want their own study time and privacy and you cannot be present in
:05:57. > :06:02.the same way. It is the earliest that you can get the message across
:06:02. > :06:07.that if you are speaking to somebody online, don't reveal anything to him
:06:07. > :06:11.that you wouldn't be happy for your other friends to see. -- to them.
:06:11. > :06:16.Don't go into any private environment on the Internet with
:06:16. > :06:20.someone that you don't know. It is an extension of the old-fashioned
:06:20. > :06:26.don't go with streamers but online. -- strangers. For any young people
:06:26. > :06:28.who have shared sexual images or are being threatened, the advice is to
:06:28. > :06:35.who have shared sexual images or are tell someone. But the police say
:06:35. > :06:39.that criminals in these iterations rely on fear - fear of getting into
:06:39. > :06:42.trouble, fear of being laughed at. The the only way to stop this is to
:06:42. > :06:45.speak out. Thank you very much.

:07:17. > :07:20.In the past hour, the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has said that if his
:07:20. > :07:23.party wins the next election it will abolish the so-called "bedroom tax".
:07:23. > :07:27.Speaking ahead of the Labour conference, which begins on Sunday,
:07:27. > :07:37.Mr Miliband said he believed it was the right thing to do.
:07:37. > :07:41.We are abolishing the unfair tax which is hitting tens of thousands
:07:41. > :07:45.of families across Scotland, causing misery to disabled people and is
:07:45. > :07:50.frankly wrong. We are going to pay for it by scrapping hedge fund tax
:07:50. > :07:53.breaks for companies in the city that George Osborne introduced.
:07:53. > :07:56.There could be nothing fairer or more right than that. It is all part
:07:56. > :07:59.of what the conference is going to be about, tackling the cost of
:07:59. > :08:01.living which is facing so many families.
:08:01. > :08:09.Well, our correspondent Tim Reid joins me now from Westminster. How
:08:09. > :08:12.significant is this? It is certainly a significant policy commitment from
:08:12. > :08:15.a party that does not have any at the moment. Labour has been under
:08:15. > :08:19.pressure to be whether it would scrap one of the coalition's most
:08:19. > :08:25.unpopular policies. Ed Miliband said he would pay for it through cracking
:08:25. > :08:32.down on tax loopholes in boardrooms. It is clearly unpopular. Remember
:08:32. > :08:35.there was a protest outside the Lib Dem conference in Glasgow last
:08:35. > :08:39.weekend. Even then, we were told that the welfare spokesman, Jackie
:08:39. > :08:43.Baillie, when she said that they would scrap it had gone too far.
:08:43. > :08:46.There was no change in policy. Clearly, Ed Miliband wants to
:08:46. > :08:49.announce what he thinks will be popular policy on the eve of the
:08:49. > :08:53.conference. We have already been told by the Government that they
:08:53. > :08:57.believe that how he is going to pay for it is not thought through and
:08:57. > :09:02.that most taxpayers believe that welfare reforms are right. This will
:09:02. > :09:06.be a recurring theme at Labour's conference in Brighton where they
:09:06. > :09:10.will talk a lot about the living standards of people having dropped
:09:10. > :09:13.under the current coalition. Esther Miliband is speaking on a day when
:09:13. > :09:20.claims abound about old divisions in the party, involving senior figures

:10:02. > :10:05.in the papers that he wanted his sister, windy, removed as a Scottish

:11:10. > :11:13.weekend. More than 100 paintings - many from private collections - have
:11:13. > :11:16.been gathered together for the show in Kelvingrove Art Gallery. And
:11:16. > :11:20.while his art continues to divide the critics, the show is expected to
:11:20. > :11:23.be one of the gallery's most popular. Our arts correspondent

:11:42. > :11:49.others more modestly. Many an theme by the public or artist since he
:11:49. > :11:55.left his studio. This has always been a very important painting
:11:56. > :12:02.because I have always been drawn to drifting. For a self-taught artist
:12:02. > :12:06.who once wandered these galleries, it is a site he never thought he
:12:06. > :12:09.would see. I was overwhelmed. I have looked at these images over the
:12:09. > :12:15.years but never dreamt that I would see them brought together as a
:12:15. > :12:22.collection and have a retrospective dedicated to me. This is an artist
:12:22. > :12:25.whose most iconic work has sold more than 10 million prints worldwide.
:12:25. > :12:33.His paintings are owned from everyone -- by everyone from Robbie
:12:33. > :12:37.Coltrane to Sir Alex Ferguson. Many dismisses work and although this is
:12:37. > :12:42.one in the eye for them, it turns out that Jack Vettriano is his own
:12:42. > :12:44.biggest critic. I was genuinely concerned by some of the earlier
:12:44. > :12:51.work because I thought that people will look and think, "he can't
:12:51. > :12:54.paint." And they were right. All I was doing with the best I could and
:12:54. > :12:58.this is what I found so charming about the retrospective. I can look
:12:58. > :13:01.at some of the early stuff and I can pick holes in it and other artists
:13:01. > :13:10.will pick holes in it, the public will pick holes in it. But what this
:13:10. > :13:16.is is my journey. At 61, it is a journey he hopes has some way to go.

:22:17. > :22:27.I could not see that the report but I just hope he was not dancing at
:22:27. > :22:30.the start of that. It's hard to believe now, but
:22:30. > :22:33.Dumfries used to be one of the country's leading shipping ports. To
:22:33. > :22:37.highlight its maritime past a yacht race will tomorrow bring boats into
:22:37. > :22:42.the centre of Dumfries for the first time in perhaps 150 years. Willie
:22:42. > :22:48.Johnston reports. Catamaran sailor snore may get some
:22:48. > :22:56.practice in. It is one of the biggest boats entered in the race.
:22:56. > :23:01.The aim is to recreate a glorious period of Dumfries's past when the
:23:01. > :23:07.tone and its neighbouring villages comprised the fifth wealthiest port
:23:07. > :23:10.in the UK. You had grain and livestock and ironmongery then the
:23:10. > :23:16.African coast and across to America and then brought back tobacco. The
:23:16. > :23:26.prosperity of Dumfries was built on these things. Commerce from America.
:23:26. > :23:31.The race starts here and at one time you could get a passage to America

:23:37. > :23:43.Navy, was born along this coast. It is to the furthest navigable point
:23:43. > :23:49.of the river in Dumfries. It is a real obstacle course. Not one but
:23:49. > :23:54.three bridges which at high tide offered very little clearance. The
:23:54. > :24:01.smallest boats should be able to drop their boats but this man plans
:24:01. > :24:08.a much more appealing approach. I am planning to capsize it. I will float
:24:08. > :24:17.underneath the bridge and, again for the finish. The event's curator says
:24:17. > :24:19.it should be a great spectacle. The prospect of Dumfries being full of
:24:19. > :24:28.sailing boats will be a wonderful site. The race celebrates the
:24:28. > :24:35.maritime history. Robert Burns patrolled here as an excise officer.
:24:35. > :24:45.Let's hope the race itself does not prove to be a bridge too far.
