On Tonight, on Reporting Scotland: Sold-off cheap.

:00:14.:00:19.

Alex Salmond says Royal Mail shares were sold for less than they're

:00:19.:00:22.

worth and that it'd be renationalised in an independent

:00:22.:00:26.

Scotland. Workers at Grangemouth oil refinery

:00:26.:00:28.

and petro-chemical plant plan a 48-hour strike.

:00:29.:00:33.

How Professor Higgs only found out he'd won the Nobel Prize when a

:00:33.:00:37.

woman stopped to tell him on an Edinburgh street.

:00:37.:00:47.

A lady in her 60s or 70s got out and congratulated me on the news and I

:00:47.:00:51.

said, what news? Also on the programme, we're in

:00:51.:00:55.

Delhi. As it takes the Glasgow 2014 baton, find out how the last

:00:55.:00:58.

Commonwealth Games changed the Indian capital.

:00:58.:01:01.

And Europe's premier rugby competition kicks off with Glasgow

:01:01.:01:04.

and Edinburgh both facing tough opening matches.

:01:04.:01:10.

Alex Salmond, has accused the UK Government of undervaluing Royal

:01:10.:01:15.

Mail in setting the price for its sell off. Share prices for the

:01:15.:01:19.

company rose by more than a third on their first day of trading. The

:01:19.:01:23.

First Minister, who's pledged to renationalise Royal Mail if Scotland

:01:23.:01:26.

votes for independence, said UK ministers had got their sums wrong.

:01:26.:01:29.

Here's our business correspondent, David Henderson.

:01:29.:01:39.

For 500 years Royal mail has been owned by the nation. Tonight it is

:01:39.:01:43.

in private hands after a share offer which saw people scrambling to

:01:43.:01:47.

invest. For the lucky ones like this postman from Glasgow who was

:01:47.:01:51.

allocated shares, that means a tidy profit. I will put it in savings,

:01:51.:01:58.

maybe spend it on a holiday. I am paying off a holiday just now. Could

:01:58.:02:02.

just be that of. Courtesy of the Royal mail.

:02:02.:02:10.

From -- for Ian Boyd from in living there has been disappointment. I

:02:10.:02:18.

have been told I will only receive £750 worth of shares, a negligible

:02:18.:02:23.

amount. Amid the scrabble for shares there is a question, did the UK

:02:23.:02:29.

government get the price right? When trading opened this morning shares

:02:29.:02:35.

were priced at 300 and 30p each. Before lunch their price had

:02:35.:02:41.

soared. -- 300 and 30p. Workers are the Grangemouth oil refinery are to

:02:41.:02:45.

strike for 48 hours in a dispute over the treatment of a union

:02:45.:02:48.

covenor. Good luck to the folk who have got the shares, if it is not a

:02:48.:02:51.

success for the public as a whole assets have been sold at an under

:02:51.:02:55.

priced level. This is speculation. This happens always in the stock

:02:55.:02:59.

market. Particularly when you have a big flotation might this. What

:02:59.:03:02.

really matters in terms of value is what it looks like in three months,

:03:02.:03:06.

six months, in years to come. The way Royal Mail is set up is changed

:03:06.:03:15.

but customers still have a guarantee of regular postal deliveries and the

:03:15.:03:20.

cost of that must be uniform and affordable right across the UK.

:03:20.:03:25.

Today's move should divide much-needed investment for Royal --

:03:25.:03:38.

Royal Mail. Workers at the Grangemouth refinery

:03:39.:03:50.

are to strike for 48 hours. Whiteley escalation in this dispute?

:03:50.:03:57.

There was a work to rule and overtime ban which began last

:03:57.:04:04.

Monday. The company that owns the plant and operated, they are also

:04:04.:04:10.

protesting at the use of contract workers. The head of that action,

:04:10.:04:13.

the company said the petrochemical plant will close if management don't

:04:13.:04:20.

get cuts to cost including jobs, but particularly pension costs. The

:04:20.:04:24.

unions ballot the members and gave backing for strike action. That is

:04:24.:04:28.

what is being planned. It would start at 7am, a week from the Sunday

:04:28.:04:33.

morning, and lost 48 hours until Tuesday, the 22nd. The unions

:04:33.:04:37.

attacking the company for wrecking this -- reckless behaviour. The

:04:37.:04:43.

company strongly denounced the union for tactics which serves are seeking

:04:43.:04:48.

to discourage customers from trading with Grangemouth. You can see the

:04:48.:04:51.

temperature in this dispute has gone up a lot today. And whenever it is

:04:51.:04:54.

mentioned we think about fuel supplies, will it have any impact?

:04:54.:04:59.

Union are saying it could disrupt fuel supplies throughout Scotland

:04:59.:05:03.

and the North of England. The blame should lie with management.

:05:03.:05:07.

Management has want if it has closed down the petrochemical plant and

:05:07.:05:12.

warm it up again which would take weeks, it is already losing £10

:05:12.:05:16.

million per month so may not start all the assets again. As we have

:05:16.:05:23.

seen with refinery stoppages before, it doesn't necessarily mean fuel one

:05:23.:05:27.

out unless that is panic buying. Ed Davey, the energy Secretary, has

:05:27.:05:32.

said tonight there will be robust alternative supply routes which are

:05:32.:05:34.

being put in place by the UK and Scottish governments, they are being

:05:34.:05:38.

planned. It is worth stressing this is seven days away, the legal

:05:38.:05:43.

requirement for the union to give that notice. Clearly a trial of

:05:43.:05:47.

strength between makers and management will stop it remains a

:05:47.:05:50.

threat. -- between workers and management.

:05:50.:05:57.

Professor Peter Higgs has revealed that he was told he'd won the Nobel

:05:57.:06:01.

Prize for Physics by a woman who was passing him on an Edinburgh street.

:06:01.:06:05.

In his first public appearance since the announcement was made, the

:06:05.:06:08.

84-year-old said it had been a long time coming but he says he's now

:06:08.:06:11.

nervous about how he's going to handle his celebrity status.

:06:12.:06:16.

For Professor Peter Higgs a lifetime in particle physics has been no

:06:16.:06:20.

preparation for the attention of the world 's press. Notoriously

:06:20.:06:23.

publicity shy it was a former neighbour who stopped them in the

:06:23.:06:26.

street to tell them he had won the Nobel Prize. A former neighbour, a

:06:26.:06:33.

widow of a judge who died recently, congratulated me on the news and I

:06:33.:06:43.

said, what news? She told me that her daughter had phone from London

:06:43.:06:48.

to alert her to the fact that I had got this price. The world 's biggest

:06:48.:06:54.

machine was built to prove the existence of the particle he

:06:54.:06:57.

predicted 50 years ago known as the Higgs boson. It is rather accidental

:06:57.:07:02.

my name is attached to the particle, but I about simply because

:07:02.:07:07.

I drew attention to it, have a stronger connection and the others.

:07:07.:07:14.

-- than the others. Getting rid of the name will be difficult. For this

:07:14.:07:18.

modest man who loves nothing more than a quiet beer he views his

:07:18.:07:20.

modest man who loves nothing more celebrity status with trepidation.

:07:21.:07:27.

I think I faced the immediate future with some foreboding, I will have

:07:28.:07:31.

difficulty in the next few months, having any of my life to myself.

:07:31.:07:36.

The news should have sent in by the time he collect his prize in Sweden

:07:36.:07:44.

in December. You are watching reporting Scotland.

:07:44.:07:49.

Still to come, the pensioners who say they are disgusted after

:07:50.:07:52.

learning their daycare centre is to move because it is unsafe stop.

:07:52.:08:01.

Rugby 's European cup begins tomorrow, find out what music legend

:08:01.:08:03.

Frankie Miller is doing in the tomorrow, find out what music legend

:08:03.:08:08.

sports news. The Commonwealth Games baton has

:08:08.:08:20.

arrived in Delhi. They were met with a delegation from the Indian batsmen

:08:20.:08:25.

team this afternoon. -- bat on. How have the games changed the city?

:08:25.:08:36.

I am near the presidential palace, that is the statue of the 11 Freedom

:08:36.:08:42.

Fighters with Mahatma Gandhi obviously recognisable that other

:08:42.:08:46.

front. It is under double he is a man who left a legacy for India.

:08:46.:08:50.

That is the buzzword that has been attached to pretty much every recent

:08:51.:08:57.

major sporting event. What has changed here since three years ago

:08:57.:09:00.

last remark I have been assessing the infrastructure legacy of Delhi

:09:00.:09:05.

2010 three years on? It is a country of colour, contrast

:09:05.:09:14.

and chaos. Most Western visitors It is a country of colour, contrast

:09:14.:09:21.

leave astounded by the congestion on the city 's roads. For many Indians

:09:21.:09:26.

the introduction ten years ago of this £2 billion Metro network

:09:27.:09:32.

brought the relief they sought. It was expanded in preparation for the

:09:32.:09:35.

Commonwealth Games, their commuters are thankful for that alone.

:09:35.:09:41.

Driving and help -- driving is hell in Delhi. It is difficult. But with

:09:41.:09:47.

the metro it is so easy, you don't have to worry about traffic,

:09:47.:09:51.

accidents. We use it most frequently, the most convenient and

:09:51.:09:59.

comfortable way to commute in Delhi. It is the lifeline of Delhi.

:09:59.:10:03.

The construction work on this project has been flawless, and

:10:03.:10:08.

reliability exceptional. The Metro hasn't brought harm to this chaotic

:10:08.:10:13.

city. Although it carries around 2 million passengers every day the

:10:14.:10:18.

roads here are still hectic. A reflection perhaps of why wider

:10:18.:10:25.

society here. The 2010 games have been mired with problems throughout,

:10:25.:10:30.

from worries the village would be ready to the subsequent prosecution

:10:30.:10:32.

of the organising committee 's chairman for corruption.

:10:32.:10:37.

Improvements have come in the main business and retail district,

:10:37.:10:41.

Connaught Place were supposed to be transformed in time for the games.

:10:42.:10:45.

It was no shock to tenants here the work started late and is still going

:10:45.:10:52.

on. I wasn't surprised, the end result is substantially better than

:10:52.:10:54.

what we had before. There is a lot result is substantially better than

:10:54.:10:59.

that can still be done. It is about being better tomorrow than today,

:10:59.:11:04.

and as long as we keep making improvements I have got no reason to

:11:04.:11:07.

complain. Petitions are not exactly throwing

:11:07.:11:11.

themselves in front of cars to speak about 2010, with an election coming

:11:11.:11:13.

themselves in front of cars to speak up they would prefer to create some

:11:13.:11:16.

distance from it. Business leaders are less shy. This sports pod is one

:11:16.:11:21.

end but more than 90% of the funding actually went into improving the

:11:21.:11:28.

city infrastructure, large 25 flyovers, what ways, a brand-new

:11:28.:11:34.

airport -- walkways. All of it has been a tremendous boost.

:11:34.:11:39.

Seen through the apparent chaos may be difficult, but for people in

:11:39.:11:45.

Delhi this is normal, people can see clearly the legacy of the games

:11:45.:11:46.

left. A man from Port Glasgow has been

:11:46.:11:50.

formally arrested in Pakistan in connection with the murder of his

:11:50.:11:53.

wife. Abdul Sattar is in custody in Pakistan. His wife Mumtaz was killed

:11:53.:11:57.

in Lahore almost three weeks ago. Catriona Renton reports.

:11:57.:12:08.

In happier times with her family, this is her on the left with her

:12:08.:12:12.

sisters. It is almost three weeks ago when the 38 world travelled to

:12:12.:12:17.

Pakistan with her husband, but hours after her arrival she was dead. A

:12:17.:12:22.

big part of her -- of our family life is gone. No more visiting each

:12:22.:12:28.

other, phoning each other. No more text in each other. No more going

:12:29.:12:40.

out. No more big sister. All we are asking for is justice. That is all

:12:40.:12:48.

we are asking for. They lived in Port Glasgow. Abdul Sattar runs the

:12:48.:12:54.

shop. He said they were going to visit his parents in Pakistan's

:12:54.:12:57.

Punjab province and they were attacked during a shared taxi ride

:12:57.:13:03.

from the airport. He said he and his wife were drugged and pushed out of

:13:03.:13:06.

the moving car. It is claimed this was not a taxi but a car. Abdul

:13:06.:13:11.

Sattar and his wife were seen on CCTV from the airport greetings and

:13:11.:13:16.

at the car. After her death he contacted his wife's family. They

:13:16.:13:18.

say they were suspicious of his version of events. At a media

:13:19.:13:24.

conference today her family lawyer said Abdul Souter has been -- Abdul

:13:24.:13:30.

Sattar has been arrested. He has been formally arrested as a murder

:13:30.:13:35.

suspect by the Pakistani police, with three other suspects who are

:13:35.:13:39.

linked to a white car, that picked up a couple at the airport. It is

:13:39.:13:45.

understood he will now be detained for a 14 day period and it is

:13:45.:13:50.

expected formal charges will then be brought against him. Until they get

:13:50.:13:54.

answers the family will not be able to grieve properly. Other stories

:13:54.:14:03.

from across Scotland. A man who murdered a pensioner in

:14:03.:14:07.

his home in West Lothian has been jailed for life. 22-year-old Keiryn

:14:07.:14:10.

Nisbet denied the killing which took place in October last year. The

:14:10.:14:14.

judge described Nisbet's assault on 67-year-old Robert Simpson in

:14:14.:14:16.

Armadale, as "a horrific and sustained attack."

:14:16.:14:21.

A woman and a child were airlifted to hospital in Aberdeen with

:14:21.:14:23.

suspected serious injuries after their can and a van were in

:14:23.:14:26.

collision near Inverurie this morning. Three other members of the

:14:26.:14:30.

family were unhurt, as was the van driver.

:14:30.:14:35.

Administrators have been appointed to run a troubled pharmaceutical

:14:35.:14:38.

plant in Dumfriesshire. 30 staff at the Bakhu Pharma factory near Annan

:14:38.:14:41.

are understood to have been laid off. It comes two years after the

:14:41.:14:45.

plant was rescued from closure when former owners Phoenix Chemicals also

:14:45.:14:49.

went into administration. Fresh concerns have been raised

:14:49.:14:52.

about the impact of American signal crayfish that have infested the Loch

:14:52.:14:56.

Ken area. The non-native crustaceans have been found in winter cattle

:14:56.:15:00.

silage, because they can cross land. Locals want the law changed to allow

:15:00.:15:06.

them to be culled. Scotland's only festival exclusively

:15:06.:15:08.

for contemporary dance gets underway in Aberdeen today. DanceLive is in

:15:08.:15:12.

its eighth year and runs until the end of the month.

:15:12.:15:19.

It has grown in size, this year it is 21 days and there is a packed

:15:19.:15:29.

programme including five premiers, which is very exciting.

:15:29.:15:31.

And there are more stories from your area, and all the latest news, 24

:15:31.:15:35.

hours a day on BBC Scotland's website.

:15:35.:15:46.

Disgusted and depressed is how a group of Asian pensioners say they

:15:46.:15:49.

are feeling after being told their daycare service is being moved. The

:15:49.:15:52.

lunch club has been run for more than 20 years in a building attached

:15:53.:15:56.

to a Sikh temple in Glasgow. After an inspection, the city council say

:15:56.:16:00.

the building is unsafe and the pensioners will be transported

:16:00.:16:02.

instead to a council centre. Aileen Clarke has been finding out more.

:16:02.:16:05.

For more than 20 years, pensioners from various amenities in Glasgow

:16:05.:16:10.

have met up here for food and friendship. The city council will

:16:10.:16:14.

close the daycare centre later this month. Earlier this week, some who

:16:14.:16:19.

attend have this -- had this photo taken to register their protest. The

:16:19.:16:23.

council would not let us film in the centre, so next door the pensioners

:16:24.:16:29.

explained why they are so upset. Once we come here, it brightens up

:16:29.:16:36.

your face. To me, it is a jewel in the crown. It is disgusting and

:16:36.:16:46.

depressing. Going there will be longer and the older people won't be

:16:46.:16:51.

able to sit on the bus for so long. The council is concerned -- its

:16:51.:16:56.

concerns will be addressed say those who run the temple. We are hoping

:16:56.:17:02.

they reconsider. That seems unlikely. In an ideal world, we

:17:02.:17:08.

would have made this decision earlier. Maybe the work could have

:17:08.:17:12.

been done earlier, but two weeks is not enough time and we have a

:17:12.:17:15.

responsibility to our elderly people. In ten days time, the

:17:15.:17:22.

daycare service here.. But the elderly people who come here can't

:17:22.:17:31.

help but feel is that the council is threatening the friendship and

:17:31.:17:33.

companionship that the pensioners hold so dear.

:17:33.:17:40.

A big weekend for rugby. Europe's premier rugby competition,

:17:40.:17:43.

the Heineken Cup, kicks off this weekend with both Scottish sides

:17:43.:17:47.

facing tough opening matches. Glasgow are away in France to face

:17:47.:17:50.

defending champions Toulon while Edinburgh, semifinalists two seasons

:17:50.:17:57.

ago, are at home to Munster. Our rugby reporter Phil Goodlad looks

:17:57.:18:04.

ahead. There may have been an extra edge to

:18:04.:18:08.

training this week. At stake, playing in the European Cup and for

:18:08.:18:13.

the Warriors, the aim was clear. The club has never made that stage

:18:13.:18:17.

before, so it is always the aim whether you are in the rabble or the

:18:17.:18:22.

Heineken Cup, get out and get into the knockout situation. Toulon are

:18:22.:18:28.

favourites to win the group. With the six group winners being joined

:18:28.:18:32.

by the two best runners-up, the Warriors are confident. It's going

:18:32.:18:41.

to be tough, but if we can get something out of these first two

:18:41.:18:46.

games, we can move from there. It is a different story at Murrayfield.

:18:46.:18:50.

Edinburgh continue to struggle with only one win this season. If they

:18:50.:18:54.

were looking for relief, the Heineken Cup group does not offer

:18:54.:19:03.

it. Two-time winners Munster are there and the French team are also

:19:03.:19:07.

riding high. We are in a tough group. It is a tough competition. We

:19:07.:19:13.

are performance-based and we have to look to improve our performance per

:19:13.:19:18.

week by week. What they lack in form, they make up for in

:19:18.:19:19.

experience. The quest of making new European

:19:20.:19:39.

memories is about to begin. The future of Dunfermline Athletic

:19:39.:19:41.

became clearer this afternoon after a ruling at the Court of Session in

:19:41.:19:45.

Edinburgh denied former owner Gavin Masterton an interdict that would

:19:45.:19:48.

have stopped a fan-based group taking over. Masterton has a lease

:19:48.:19:51.

with Fife Council for the training ground at Pitreavie, but Pars

:19:51.:19:53.

United, the preferred bidders, wanted this to end. The deal for

:19:53.:19:57.

Pars United to takeover should now be completed early next week. It has

:19:57.:20:00.

been a difficult couple of days, I am glad it has been run -- result.

:20:01.:20:06.

We can now move this forward with more certainty. There are a few

:20:06.:20:10.

things we have to get sorted out with the legal team and sit down and

:20:10.:20:16.

hopefully get this thing over the line.

:20:16.:20:22.

Something a wee bit different now. Because he's one of Scotland's most

:20:22.:20:25.

successful song writers. Some of the biggest names in the music business

:20:25.:20:29.

have recorded his tunes. But what is Frankie Miller doing in the sport

:20:29.:20:32.

section of the programme? You're about to find out. This is Frankie

:20:32.:20:35.

Miller in 1978 performing his number one hit. These are a couple of the

:20:35.:20:45.

artists he has written four, Ray Charles and Rod Schuett. -- Rod

:20:45.:20:53.

Stewart. Now meet his latest collaborators, the Scotland rugby

:20:53.:20:54.

team. My wife was watching a film, she was

:20:54.:21:07.

yawning and as they came in, I listened to it and I found this

:21:07.:21:15.

song. You played the song. MacGowan to learn a song together. Never

:21:15.:21:19.

thought it would come to this, but it did. Frankie had a brain

:21:19.:21:23.

haemorrhage 20 years ago and is unable to sing. Despite the efforts

:21:23.:21:37.

of a Scotland player, Kelly Brown. The finished article was launched

:21:37.:21:42.

today, although most of the squad were otherwise engaged, preparing

:21:42.:21:46.

for this weekend's matches. What does the great man make of the new

:21:46.:21:48.

version? All of the proceeds go to charity.

:21:48.:22:09.

Rod Stewart once said that Frankie Miller was one of the few singers

:22:09.:22:13.

that made him cry. He obviously hasn't heard rugby players, has he?

:22:13.:22:24.

It's 20 years since the Glasgay festival was first established. One

:22:24.:22:27.

of the first public celebrations of gay culture, it's now one of the
