:00:35. > :00:42.great day for their families too. Everybody is very proud. His dad is

:00:42. > :00:46.proud and his cousin and grandad. The phone has been ringing nonstop.

:00:46. > :00:49.Also in the programme. Anger after four years of faulty sewers -

:00:49. > :00:51.residents on this new housing development want to know why there's

:00:51. > :00:54.still a problem. Andy Warhol's politically inspired

:00:54. > :01:00.art goes on display at the Scottish Parliament.

:01:00. > :01:10.And ahead of this weekend's Great Scottish run we meet one of the

:01:10. > :01:13.world's greatest distance runners. The Elgin businessman, Nat Fraser,

:01:13. > :01:16.has lost an appeal against his conviction for murdering his

:01:17. > :01:20.estranged wife Arlene. Fraser, who's 54, has been convicted twice of

:01:20. > :01:26.hiring a hit man to carry out the killing. Arlene Fraser disappeared

:01:26. > :01:29.from her home in April 1998. She's never been found. Lisa Summers

:01:29. > :01:37.reports from the appeal court in Edinburgh.

:01:37. > :01:42.Arlene Fraser's family are all too familiar with Edinburgh's courts

:01:42. > :01:48.having spent 15 years attending hearings and trials but they believe

:01:48. > :01:54.this is the last time. I don't know what to feel. There have been that

:01:54. > :02:00.many times we have come out here and then are told there will be another

:02:00. > :02:07.appeal. It takes a while to sink in that that is it finally finished. He

:02:07. > :02:13.was first convicted in 2003. At the time of his conviction he said he

:02:13. > :02:17.would appeal. That process field in Scotland but he went to the Supreme

:02:17. > :02:23.Court who quashed his conviction and AV trial was ordered. Last year he

:02:23. > :02:31.was again found guilty but his lawyers brought about another appeal

:02:31. > :02:36.having let slip some information. It took a matter of minutes to reject

:02:36. > :02:43.his latest appeal as they did not believe comments made by witnesses

:02:43. > :02:49.would be prejudicial. His lawyers say they will now consider what to

:02:49. > :02:53.do next. Anyone convicted of a criminal offence can appeal to have

:02:53. > :03:01.the case sent back but they have two surely good reason to do that.

:03:01. > :03:06.Arlene Fraser's family hope they will not have to do this again and

:03:06. > :03:11.he will now have to serve 15 years in prison before being considered

:03:11. > :03:16.for parole. The family of a woman from Port

:03:16. > :03:19.Glasgow who was murdered in Pakistan last month have petitioned officials

:03:19. > :03:22.there, naming a single suspect. Mumtaz Sattar suffered a serious

:03:22. > :03:26.head injury while she was on a trip to the Punjab. Her family have asked

:03:26. > :03:34.the High Court in Lahore to review the police handling of the case.

:03:34. > :03:38.Laura Maxwell has more. Mumtaz Sattar travel to Pakistan two weeks

:03:38. > :03:47.ago and within hours she was dead. Her husband is in police custody. He

:03:47. > :03:53.told officers he and his wife were drugged and attacked by two men. He

:03:53. > :03:56.said they were thrown out of a moving car and his wife died from

:03:56. > :04:04.the serious head injuries she suffered. Now her family have asked

:04:04. > :04:09.the High Court there asking serious questions about the police

:04:09. > :04:13.investigation. There has been a serious allegation made of bribery

:04:13. > :04:16.of the officers involved in the case and that each and every time the

:04:16. > :04:24.family appears to have been obstructed. Magistrates have lodged

:04:24. > :04:28.an appeal in which they named one murder suspect and ask for the

:04:28. > :04:36.authorities to bring the police officer concerned to the High Court

:04:36. > :04:40.for questioning. Mumtaz Sattar's family are asking help from

:04:40. > :04:45.politicians here and in Pakistan. They say they will continue to fight

:04:45. > :04:52.for justice. It is having a devastating: Everybody but we are

:04:52. > :04:55.trying our best. Hopefully we can bring this matter to a close with

:04:55. > :05:01.the help of the authorities in Pakistan. At his shop in Port

:05:01. > :05:09.Glasgow, his family said they weren't shot but did not want to

:05:09. > :05:17.comment further. -- were shocked. You're watching

:05:17. > :05:21.Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the programme. The

:05:21. > :05:25.dream homes that have caused a stink - because of problems with sewage.

:05:25. > :05:28.Tonight's sport is graced by a true sporting legend. One of the greatest

:05:28. > :05:30.distance runners is in Scotland. Find out why.

:05:30. > :05:34.And after a spectacular fall from grace - a former Aberdeen manager is

:05:34. > :05:40.dreaming of Scottish Cup glory. Stay tuned for the details.

:05:40. > :05:43.With less than three weeks to go until polling day, the Dunfermline

:05:43. > :05:47.by-election strayed into referendum territory today as Alex Salmond and

:05:47. > :05:50.Ed Balls clashed over currency. Labour's Shadow Chancellor used a

:05:50. > :05:53.visit to the constituency to argue that it was unlikely that an

:05:53. > :05:56.independent Scotland would be able keep using the pound. But the SNP

:05:56. > :06:00.leader insisted that a sterling zone would be in the best interests of

:06:00. > :06:14.Scotland and the rest of the UK. Steven Godden reports.

:06:14. > :06:23.In the birthplace of Andrew Carnegie it is perhaps fitting that money is

:06:23. > :06:29.at the centre of the collision between constituency and

:06:29. > :06:34.constitutional politics. At a Dunfermline bank, Labour's

:06:34. > :06:39.by-election candidate was joined by Ed Balls whose message is that Alex

:06:39. > :06:47.Salmond is not being ahead -- state with voters. The idea that Alex

:06:47. > :06:55.Salmond can guarantee to Scotland that the rest of the UK will

:06:55. > :06:59.guarantee a eurozone style arrangement is risky. I think you

:06:59. > :07:05.would end up with a separate Scottish currency and that would be

:07:05. > :07:11.catastrophic. It is a view that cut little ice with the first Minister

:07:11. > :07:16.who was on by-election duty. We think sharing the pound, which has

:07:16. > :07:23.as much hours as anybody's, is in the interests of Scotland and in the

:07:23. > :07:28.interests of the rest of the UK. We are not trying to scare folk in a

:07:28. > :07:34.referendum. We will sit down and do what is best. Ed Balls could be at

:07:35. > :07:38.the forefront of any currency negotiations and Alex Salmond

:07:38. > :07:43.insists the Shadow Chancellor needs to get his story straight. He is at

:07:43. > :07:49.odds with Alistair Darling who is apparently meant to be the leader of

:07:49. > :07:57.the campaign who said it was logical and desirable earlier this year.

:07:57. > :08:02.Elsewhere in the constituency, the SNP's by-election and referendum

:08:02. > :08:06.opponents have their say. The benefits from the trade between

:08:06. > :08:11.Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom, why would you risk that?

:08:11. > :08:15.The best way to get the best bits of the UK is to stay in it. These

:08:15. > :08:21.things have to be negotiated and worked out and it is yet another

:08:21. > :08:24.example of Alex Salmond saying and doing anything without having done

:08:24. > :08:30.the workings in order to get more votes. The by-election makes this

:08:30. > :08:36.fertile ground for arguments aimed at the wider audience. For reporters

:08:36. > :08:40.here, the currency is just one of many issues to consider before they

:08:40. > :08:43.go to the polls in three weeks time. And a full list of all seven

:08:43. > :08:46.candidates standing in the Scottish Parliament by-election for

:08:46. > :08:54.Dunfermline is on-screen now. More details are available on BBC

:08:54. > :08:59.Scotland's website. The vaccination of schoolchildren

:08:59. > :09:03.against flu has been temporarily suspended after concerns from some

:09:03. > :09:08.Muslim parents that the vaccine contains products derived from Port.

:09:08. > :09:14.More than 200,000 children are being offered the vaccine this year by

:09:14. > :09:21.nasal spray but the scheme was delayed after some parents

:09:21. > :09:25.complained it contained gelatin. Scottish soldiers are among those

:09:25. > :09:28.being honoured for bravery today for acts of bravery while serving in

:09:28. > :09:31.Afghanistan. The awards include a George Medal for a bomb disposal

:09:31. > :09:34.expert who was working alongside Danish troops. For family and

:09:34. > :09:46.friends it's a proud day, as Aileen Clarke reports.

:09:46. > :09:54.Without doubt, he prevented further casualties. During a two and

:09:54. > :09:58.Afghanistan, the bomb disposal expert put his own life on the line

:09:59. > :10:04.to rescue a comrade badly injured by a head in improvised explosive

:10:04. > :10:13.device and lead others out of the area. Effectively what we had was

:10:14. > :10:18.the sergeant had landed on a device and there was a wire running

:10:18. > :10:23.underneath it. If I had removed him to treat him, the device would have

:10:23. > :10:29.functioned and killed and injured the rest of us. I got down and

:10:29. > :10:35.identified the circuit and took the most appropriate action. At his old

:10:35. > :10:41.school today, there is much respect for his selfless courage. He would

:10:41. > :10:46.have been willing to give everything for a comrade in battle and it is a

:10:47. > :10:50.great example to our young people. At this school in Lanarkshire they

:10:50. > :10:56.were talking about their role in local hero. First Battalion Royal

:10:56. > :11:04.Regiment of Scotland, he was mentioned in dispatches.

:11:04. > :11:11.On the Remembrance Day last year and Helmand province, while soldiers

:11:11. > :11:17.were playing football and Afghan soldier opened fire. The death toll

:11:17. > :11:23.would have been much higher where it not for the private who chased down

:11:23. > :11:30.that rogue Afghan soldier. His mother says he is -- she is only

:11:30. > :11:34.learning the details now. His dad and his whole family are proud and

:11:34. > :11:40.the phone has been ringing nonstop today. It is the kind of college I

:11:40. > :11:48.would like to be able to pass on when I joined the Army. -- courage.

:11:48. > :11:53.Among the other Scots honoured today, a distinguished service medal

:11:53. > :11:57.for the commander of task force Helmand.

:11:57. > :12:01.Home-owners in a new housing development near Wishaw want to know

:12:01. > :12:04.why they've had to cope with a faulty sewage system for more than

:12:04. > :12:07.four years. Some houses in the Bett homes and Stewart Milne development

:12:07. > :12:10.have regularly suffered from waste coming up through toilets and

:12:10. > :12:25.drains, making them unusable. Julie Peacock reports.

:12:25. > :12:27.When she brought her brand-new home in 2009, she had expected luxury and

:12:27. > :12:32.convenience but for years later, the sewage system still regularly breaks

:12:32. > :12:37.down. Nothing is going down. It keeps coming up the way. Have

:12:37. > :12:43.toilets become blocked and it is impossible to use the washing

:12:43. > :12:47.machine. When she complained they suggested using the toilet in her

:12:48. > :12:57.local supermarket. I have been told you can use it but not/ or I could

:12:57. > :13:04.go to my local Asda to use players. I am sure they would get trade! With

:13:04. > :13:11.a 15-month-old baby and another on the way she wants this resolved. I

:13:11. > :13:15.am quite disgusted because it is a disgusting situation to be left

:13:15. > :13:21.them. You cannot wash clothes or use the toilet and I have said this to

:13:21. > :13:27.the managing directors to ask how they would feel about this. The

:13:27. > :13:33.developers have found a temporarily way around the problem. Sewage is

:13:33. > :13:39.pumped into a tanker and driven up the roads. This has brought its own

:13:39. > :13:45.problems. Neighbours have been complaining about the noise and the

:13:45. > :13:49.smell. Residents have contacted Scottish water ran the council but

:13:49. > :13:54.have been told the responsibility lies with the developers. They see

:13:54. > :14:00.the sewage system has been built to the proper standards and lay blame

:14:00. > :14:06.foreign matter from outside the development causing the blockages.

:14:06. > :14:11.They are meeting later today to discuss how to solve the problem but

:14:11. > :14:16.residents are frustrated that has taken so long to get this far. She

:14:16. > :14:23.just hopes by this Christmas she will no longer have to send guests

:14:23. > :14:26.to Asda to use the toilet. Other stories from across Scotland this

:14:26. > :14:30.Friday evening. A care home in Inverness is being

:14:30. > :14:33.temporarily shut down and could lose its operating licence after failing

:14:33. > :14:37.an inspection. Clachnaharry House Nursing Home was found to have areas

:14:37. > :14:41.that posed a danger to elderly residents. 18 people will have to be

:14:41. > :14:45.resettled while the home is refurbished.

:14:46. > :14:48.A summit is being planned to help ensure children in Scotland get the

:14:49. > :14:52.best possible protection when using the internet. It follows a number of

:14:52. > :14:55.cases where young people have been blackmailed or threatened online. It

:14:55. > :15:00.will bring together Scottish government ministers and childrens'

:15:00. > :15:03.welfare organisations. The inhabitants of Colonsay have

:15:03. > :15:07.until today to vote on whether they favour a community buy-out of the

:15:07. > :15:11.island's only hotel. The business has been on the market for 18

:15:11. > :15:15.months, but there are fears it could be bought by someone looking for a

:15:15. > :15:18.large house and fall out of use as a hotel.

:15:18. > :15:21.Police have launched an investigation after the statue of

:15:21. > :15:27.Greyfriars Bobby in Edinburgh was vandalised. The statue was restored

:15:27. > :15:31.on Tuesday to turn his shiny nose back to its original black, but

:15:31. > :15:37.police said an abrasive material had been "intentionally used" to strip

:15:37. > :15:40.the repaired area. A £4.5m lottery grant has been

:15:40. > :15:45.awarded to transform Glasgow's Kelvin Hall into a major museum

:15:45. > :15:48.facility. The site will be revamped to provide public access to 1.5

:15:48. > :15:53.million pieces from the city's civic collection and Glasgow University's

:15:53. > :15:56.Hunterian Museum. The venue will also house the Scottish Screen

:15:56. > :16:00.Archive. And there are more stories from your

:16:00. > :16:08.area, and all the latest news, 24 hours a day, on BBC Scotland's

:16:08. > :16:12.website. He is better known for pop art than

:16:12. > :16:16.politics, but Andy Warhol's work will be centre stage at the Scottish

:16:16. > :16:28.Parliament from tomorrow. The 40 pieces show a political side to the

:16:28. > :16:37.American artist's work. So this is his portrayal of Andrew needed. You

:16:37. > :16:43.could hardly say that everyone merited Andy Warhol is 15 minutes of

:16:43. > :16:47.fame, but the ones here are merited. For the first time, this exhibition

:16:47. > :16:55.focuses on the political side to his work. I think seeing this

:16:56. > :17:01.exhibition, people will get an indication of his interest in

:17:01. > :17:05.politics. Andy Warhol was invited to the White House quite a few times.

:17:05. > :17:10.He was not greatly interested in who was sitting in the Playhouse, was

:17:10. > :17:19.interested in the position of power that the person held. He was never

:17:19. > :17:25.shoehorned anywhere. He was very much his own person. You can always

:17:25. > :17:30.have exhibitions about different things, such as the environment,

:17:30. > :17:36.celebrity, pop art and culture. There are loads of different

:17:36. > :17:41.exhibitions you can have when you could still be scratched the surface

:17:41. > :17:51.of what and who Andrew water hole was. -- Andy Warhol. This

:17:51. > :18:00.exhibition, which begins tomorrow, as part of a 16 week celebration of

:18:00. > :18:07.his legacy. Letters go to David now, with this poor. -- this poor.

:18:07. > :18:12.One of the greatest athletes of all time is here in Glasgow for the

:18:12. > :18:15.biggest mass participation event in Scottish sport, the Great Scottish

:18:15. > :18:18.Run, which takes place this weekend. He is double Olympic gold-medallist

:18:18. > :18:25.Haille Gebresellassie and Kheredine Idessane has been to meet him. You

:18:25. > :18:30.could tell they were pleased to see him. I find this for Glasgow

:18:30. > :18:38.schoolchildren from one of runnings all-time greats. Here to promote the

:18:38. > :18:42.great Scottish run, he says that next year, he believes that Glasgow

:18:42. > :18:49.will host one of the best ever Commonwealth Games. They will have

:18:49. > :18:58.learned a lot from the past and will put on extra. I believe it is going

:18:58. > :19:04.to be something very unique and good, like the Olympics in London.

:19:04. > :19:13.This he told me was his greatest achievement, his 10,000 metres title

:19:13. > :19:17.in Sydney. His running Kerry was shaped by running to school every

:19:17. > :19:24.day carrying his book is. I was always very active. I used to run to

:19:24. > :19:34.school and carry my book is. Every day I did it. Every day, it was 20

:19:34. > :19:41.kilometres, 12 males. At five foot five, he is a giant of world

:19:41. > :19:49.athletics, having set 27 world records, two Olympic gold titles and

:19:49. > :19:56.a further four world indoor titles as well as the outdoor world titles.

:19:56. > :20:06.Is this a great race that you could win? Of course, I have a chance.

:20:06. > :20:12.Around $20,000 will be under starter 's orders on Sunday. I would love to

:20:12. > :20:15.be one of them, but unfortunately, I am working.

:20:15. > :20:18.There is coverage of the Great Scottish Run on BBC Two Scotland

:20:18. > :20:21.from 10.30pm. It is the second round of the

:20:21. > :20:22.William Hill Scottish Cup this weekend, with Highland League

:20:22. > :20:28.high-flyers Formartine United It is another shot at the big time

:20:28. > :20:31.for Formartine United manager Steve Paterson, whose demons saw him

:20:31. > :20:36.tumble from the top of the Scottish professional game. Jonathan

:20:36. > :20:42.Sutherland has been to meet the man they call Pele.

:20:42. > :20:59.I have come north of Aberdeen to their home of United. Ten years ago,

:20:59. > :21:02.Steve Paterson was hot property, having masterminded Inverness

:21:02. > :21:07.Caledonian 's famous Scottish cup victory at Celtic Park. He became

:21:07. > :21:19.the Aberdeen manager, but was eventually sacked, amid an admission

:21:19. > :21:25.that he had problems with alcohol. It was really very lowest ebb of my

:21:25. > :21:33.life. These are much happier times. As well as a football manager, he is

:21:33. > :21:39.also a social worker. After some backing from local and foreign

:21:39. > :21:46.businesses, the unknown sitting second in the Highland league. I

:21:46. > :21:51.have been very lucky that I have had good financial backing. Unless you

:21:52. > :22:01.have a good setup, you really needed to win. That happens at any level.

:22:01. > :22:10.He was given the nickname Pele and Steve Paterson signed for Manchester

:22:10. > :22:18.United as a schoolboy in the 1970s. Given the battle he has already

:22:18. > :22:22.faced, who would put it past Steve Paterson engineering a victory at

:22:22. > :22:26.the weekend. Efe Ambrose has signed a new

:22:26. > :22:29.four-year deal with Celtic. The Nigerian defender, who was helping

:22:29. > :22:32.the club highlight a charity for guide dogs earlier, has committed

:22:32. > :22:42.himself to the Scottish champions until the summer of 2017. It is not

:22:42. > :22:44.often we end with something cute and cuddly, annual Lenin knows I am not

:22:44. > :22:53.talking about him! Today marks the 130th anniversary of

:22:53. > :22:56.the foundation of the Boys' Brigade. Just one company in Glasgow grew

:22:56. > :23:05.into an international organisation which has worked with millions of

:23:05. > :23:09.children and young people. The Boys Brigade is 20 years older than the

:23:09. > :23:16.Boy Scouts, but it has also moved with the times. It remains true to

:23:16. > :23:24.its founder, William Alexander Smith. It is very important that we

:23:24. > :23:34.shall the boys lyse gabled life skills, both in gnome and out side

:23:34. > :23:39.and the likes of first aid. The organisation grew from just one

:23:39. > :23:43.company in Glasgow to a major organisation. At the birthday party,

:23:43. > :23:52.one of the youngest members cut the cake. As Big brother and father were

:23:52. > :24:00.involved as well. I would say that when we play the games and lay

:24:00. > :24:04.things about Jesus is their best. The Boys Brigade has always been

:24:04. > :24:08.founded any Christian ethos but welcomes children from all

:24:08. > :24:13.backgrounds. Joyce has been a volunteer for 50-year 's. It taught

:24:13. > :24:18.me an awful lot about people and attitudes and has made me a much

:24:18. > :24:25.better person. The media less marching now, but the Boys Brigade

:24:25. > :24:31.hopes to continue being a positive influence for youngsters for another

:24:31. > :24:33.130 years. No, let us find out what good things we can expect at the

:24:33. > :24:42.weekend for the weather. This weekend is going to be rather

:24:48. > :24:53.The rain eventually cleared from the Borders today were some brightness

:25:14. > :25:20.Overnight temperatures between nine and 11 Celsius. To start the
