:00:15. > :00:20.Tonight, on your National News. As talks begin to avert the planned 48

:00:21. > :00:24.hour strike at Grangemouth, there is hope of an agreement to keep fuel

:00:25. > :00:28.supplies running. The Church of Scotland minister

:00:29. > :00:38.whose relatives were murdered in a Pakistan massacre, and is prepared

:00:39. > :00:44.to forgive. I can't pray for them that may God give them with Don to

:00:45. > :00:47.understand and realise that they are doing wrong things.

:00:48. > :00:51.Also tonight, from this - to this. The hunt is on for the stolen Henry

:00:52. > :00:53.Moore sculpture worth millions of pounds.

:00:54. > :00:57.Unlocking the legacy - we're in Delhi to find out whether there was

:00:58. > :01:00.a sporting legacy from the last city to host the Commonwealth Games.

:01:01. > :01:04.And looking to the future - Scotland get ready for Croatia, with Gordon

:01:05. > :01:07.Strachan saying that a return to major tournaments may not be far

:01:08. > :01:10.away. Talks are underway to try to avert

:01:11. > :01:15.the planned 48-hour strike by workers at the Grangemouth refinery.

:01:16. > :01:19.Ineos, the company that runs the plant, says work has already begun

:01:20. > :01:24.to shut it down, but it's hoped that fuel supplies won't be affected. Our

:01:25. > :01:35.reporter Catriona Renton is at Grangemouth tonight. Catriona.

:01:36. > :01:38.Since the union announced its intentions for the strike, it has

:01:39. > :01:44.seen the relations between the union and the company getting worse and

:01:45. > :01:50.more acrimonious over the weekend, but talks have been going on since

:01:51. > :01:58.4pm today in Glasgow and I am told nobody has moved on or out from the

:01:59. > :02:02.site and they seemed hopeful of a resolution today. Here at

:02:03. > :02:05.Grangemouth, preparations are already underway to close down the

:02:06. > :02:16.plan ahead of the proposed strike set to begin on Sunday for 48 hours.

:02:17. > :02:21.At the weekend, Ineos wrapped up the stakes warning the strike could shut

:02:22. > :02:26.down most of Scotland and the war of words called the union completely

:02:27. > :02:32.irresponsible. They responded by accusing the company of gunboat

:02:33. > :02:38.diplomacy. This afternoon the two saves arrived in Glasgow for talks.

:02:39. > :02:43.We are looking for assurances from the union that they will support us

:02:44. > :02:53.and maintain the fuel supply to the people of Scotland. We certainly

:02:54. > :02:56.welcome the response and the decision to come here today so we

:02:57. > :03:03.will be approaching the talks with an open mind. We will be trying to

:03:04. > :03:07.look to have a resolution. The dispute centres on the treatment of

:03:08. > :03:12.a union convenor involved in the selection of a Labour candidate in

:03:13. > :03:22.Falkirk. It is also about the company's use of agency workers. The

:03:23. > :03:29.plant produces 220,000 barrels a day and provides most of Scotland's

:03:30. > :03:33.fuel. They say the site would cause by 2017 were both investment and the

:03:34. > :03:42.company says the plan is losing ?10 million a month.

:03:43. > :03:46.-- plant. The issue that people are concerned about is well there be an

:03:47. > :03:52.you're around to keep cars on the road. Ineos made it clear going into

:03:53. > :03:58.the meeting that they want an agreement that means fuel production

:03:59. > :04:03.will not be affected. The Scottish and UK governments are working on

:04:04. > :04:06.contingencies and they say that whatever happens, they hope

:04:07. > :04:09.retailers will have enough stock already to meet demands.

:04:10. > :04:12.The owner of a tug-boat which capsized on the River Clyde, killing

:04:13. > :04:15.three crew members, has admitted health and safety failures. The

:04:16. > :04:21.Flying Phantom sank in freezing fog in December 2007, while towing a

:04:22. > :04:23.cargo vessel near Glasgow. At the High Court in Glasgow, tug company

:04:24. > :04:29.Svitzer Marine Limited pleaded guilty to a series of health and

:04:30. > :04:31.safety breaches. 33-year-old Stephen Humphreys from Greenock, 57-year-old

:04:32. > :04:35.Eric Blackley from Gourock and Bob Cameron, was was 65 and from Houston

:04:36. > :04:41.in Renfrewshire, all died when the tug sank.

:04:42. > :04:45.A Church of Scotland minister, whose mother and and other close relatives

:04:46. > :04:50.were murdered in a suicide attack on a church in Pakistan, has said he

:04:51. > :04:53.forgives their killers. The Reverend Aftab Gohar's mother, nephew, niece,

:04:54. > :04:58.and other relatives and friends were among 122 people killed last month.

:04:59. > :05:01.The Grangemouth minister has just returned from the scene of the

:05:02. > :05:12.massacre in Peshawar. Joanne Macaulay reports.

:05:13. > :05:16.In the aftermath of the attack on the church where he was christened,

:05:17. > :05:23.the Reverend returns to Pakistan to mourn his loss and offer comfort to

:05:24. > :05:27.others. While the attack was happening, he was preparing his

:05:28. > :05:32.Sunday sermon for his own congregation in Grangemouth. Among

:05:33. > :05:38.the victims were his mother who was 79, his 11-year-old nephew also died

:05:39. > :05:46.and his niece who was nine years old. Uncles and cousins and many

:05:47. > :05:51.friends were killed as well. Here's earned by the events but says he can

:05:52. > :05:59.forgive the killers. I can pray for them, that may God give them wisdom

:06:00. > :06:06.to understand and realise that they are doing wrong things. The attack

:06:07. > :06:10.came without warning as the people of the Church gathered for the

:06:11. > :06:17.Thanksgiving feast. 122 were killed. His niece was paralysed from

:06:18. > :06:26.the waist down and he is attempting to raise money to help her. They

:06:27. > :06:33.will be paralysed for a long time and the people that have lost legs

:06:34. > :06:41.and arms, they cannot do their jobs, so there should be a long term plan

:06:42. > :06:47.to help them. He plans to resume his duties here on Sunday and says he

:06:48. > :06:50.has been greatly moved by the kindness and support of both the

:06:51. > :06:55.Christian and Muslim communities but he says those affected by the attack

:06:56. > :06:57.in Pakistan will need help for a long time to come.

:06:58. > :06:59.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the

:07:00. > :07:02.programme. Unlocking the legacy - What were the

:07:03. > :07:06.benefits of the last commonwealth Games? We're in Delhi to find out.

:07:07. > :07:09.And in sport, we've the latest from today's court room battle involving

:07:10. > :07:14.Rangers and a group of unhappy shareholders. We'll also hear from

:07:15. > :07:16.Gordon Strachan as the Scotland manager's already thinking ahead to

:07:17. > :07:18.the 'challenge' of the next qualifying campaign, and we've also

:07:19. > :07:28.rugby news. Police Scotland say the value of a

:07:29. > :07:31.statue stolen from a park in south west Scotland is about three million

:07:32. > :07:34.pounds. The 'Standing Figure' by Henry Moore was taken from the

:07:35. > :07:38.sculpture park at the Lincluden Estate at Shawhead between last

:07:39. > :07:41.Thursday and Friday. Three other valuable sculptures which had been

:07:42. > :07:51.on display have now been put into secure storage. Willie Johnston

:07:52. > :07:58.reports. A seven foot high sculpture by Henry

:07:59. > :08:04.Moore cast in bronze in 1950. Until last week it stood on this rock part

:08:05. > :08:13.of a large and unique collection of works displayed here. Beneath, torn

:08:14. > :08:21.metal shows it was removed very crudely but why? We suspect this was

:08:22. > :08:27.for obvious reasons. One is the high-value and the other as it was

:08:28. > :08:33.sold for scrap metal value. Two other Henry Moore statues have been

:08:34. > :08:38.vandalised here in recent years. The theft know of Standing Figure is a

:08:39. > :08:42.crime to far for its orders and the decision has been taken to remove

:08:43. > :08:48.the most high-value and accessible works for safekeeping. The statues

:08:49. > :08:56.have been here for 60 years and have been enjoyed by many people. I am

:08:57. > :09:03.sure that sadness will be tinged with anger that the actions of one

:09:04. > :09:08.or two people will affect so many. It is a blow to art lovers who come

:09:09. > :09:13.here from all around the world. I just cannot believe they are gone.

:09:14. > :09:17.It is so nice to think they were here in the countryside and to think

:09:18. > :09:25.someone has stolen one is just awful. If art is becoming a favoured

:09:26. > :09:30.target of metal thieves, the man behind many hope I profile more than

:09:31. > :09:35.sculpture than Scotland feels the consequences for his work. People

:09:36. > :09:41.are worried that the craft and skill that went into that, these days

:09:42. > :09:45.people can take it for granted. We take it as part of the furniture of

:09:46. > :09:49.everyday life but the skill that goes into these things is phenomenal

:09:50. > :09:55.and to have that snatched away is awful. If it has been taken for

:09:56. > :10:01.scrap, they will pocket a few hundred pounds but that is only a

:10:02. > :10:05.fraction of the stats you's value as a piece of art and how do you

:10:06. > :10:09.quantify the loss of public access to an important collection in such a

:10:10. > :10:12.stunning landscape. A former senior police officer has

:10:13. > :10:15.been convicted of a sexually assaulting three women. Ian Paterson

:10:16. > :10:23.was found guilty following a trial at Aberdeen Sheriff Court. He'd

:10:24. > :10:26.denied the charges. The complaints were made after the 62-year-old had

:10:27. > :10:29.left the police to take over as chief executive of an Aberdeen

:10:30. > :10:38.charity. He'll be sentenced next month.

:10:39. > :10:41.In ten days time, the people of Dunfermline will go to the polls to

:10:42. > :10:44.elect a new MSP. In 2011, four candidates stood for election. This

:10:45. > :10:48.time voters have seven to choose from giving them plenty to consider.

:10:49. > :10:50.Our reporter Steven Godden looks at the new names and faces on the

:10:51. > :10:55.campaign trail. In Dunfermline, these days there is

:10:56. > :11:02.no such thing as a simple trip to the shops. Will you be voting? A

:11:03. > :11:08.more congested ballot paper means a battle for candidates to get their

:11:09. > :11:12.message across. Scottish Green party candidate is our rackets and is one

:11:13. > :11:23.of the new names for voters to consider. People are very

:11:24. > :11:31.disillusioned by mainstream politics and often feel they are only two

:11:32. > :11:34.parties they can vote for. For us, it is really important to show

:11:35. > :11:48.people in Scotland that there is another way. You can add another new

:11:49. > :11:51.presence. -- UKIP. This candidate believes his stance against wind

:11:52. > :11:58.farms will find favour with the electorate. We are paying millions

:11:59. > :12:05.of pounds in subsidies and that is why we have pensioners trying to

:12:06. > :12:08.decide whether to eat or heat. The leader of the Scottish Jacobite

:12:09. > :12:15.party is standing as an independent candidate. There are lots of things

:12:16. > :12:23.wrong with society in Scotland and people have to demand better. Rain

:12:24. > :12:28.or shine, the next ten days will be a period of intense campaigning.

:12:29. > :12:33.Each of the candidates here will measure success differently but for

:12:34. > :12:37.all, the test of whether the message has hit home will come when the

:12:38. > :12:40.votes are counted on Thursday will stop And there are seven candidates

:12:41. > :12:43.in the Dunfermline by-election and you can find full details on BBC

:12:44. > :12:46.Scotland's news website. Other stories from across Scotland

:12:47. > :12:50.this Monday. Police investigating the death of a

:12:51. > :12:53.man who was hit by an HGV and then dragged underneath it for three

:12:54. > :12:56.miles have traced the vehicle's driver. Robert Finlayson was found

:12:57. > :13:00.dead on a road in Lanarkshire last month.

:13:01. > :13:03.The public spending watchdog has said that political instability at

:13:04. > :13:06.Argyll and Bute Council has made the local authority's problems worse.

:13:07. > :13:09.The Audit Scotland report was compiled before a new administration

:13:10. > :13:15.was formed last month. The council has had three different leaders

:13:16. > :13:17.since May 2012. The Health Secretary has told a

:13:18. > :13:21.conference in Edinburgh that more must be done to make sure the NHS is

:13:22. > :13:24.a seven-day service. Alex Neil outlined a pilot in five health

:13:25. > :13:36.board areas of international approaches to the problem. The

:13:37. > :13:42.safety of patients at the weekend is as good as during the week, so this

:13:43. > :13:48.is not driven by patient safety but for the need to improve the flow of

:13:49. > :13:52.patients through the hospital and more efficient use of resources and

:13:53. > :13:54.the need to make sure that kid at the weekend is as good as during the

:13:55. > :13:57.rest of the week. Designs for a new ?1 million mosque

:13:58. > :14:00.in Aberdeen have been revealed. Planning permission has already been

:14:01. > :14:02.granted for the building on Nelson Street.

:14:03. > :14:06.And there are more stories from your area - and all the latest news, 24

:14:07. > :14:16.hours a day on BBC Scotland's website.

:14:17. > :14:21.Elegant and easy asked unsung sports clubs have called on the Scottish

:14:22. > :14:27.Government to abandon plans to ban airguns. They say the new law will

:14:28. > :14:33.deter people from taking up shooting as a sport.

:14:34. > :14:39.Lucy enjoys target practice. Right now she does not need a licence to

:14:40. > :14:42.pursue her hobby but the Scottish Government has its sights set on

:14:43. > :14:47.changing that. A new law would require amateur shooters to pay for

:14:48. > :14:51.the right to hold a weapon after proving they had a good reason. Lucy

:14:52. > :14:59.worries that could force her out of the sport. If they consider my

:15:00. > :15:03.reason for having an air rifle not to be valid and I will not be able

:15:04. > :15:07.to continue with the sport. Enthusiasts petitioned the Scottish

:15:08. > :15:10.Parliament, calling on the Government to think again. They say

:15:11. > :15:19.a licensing scheme will not reduce intended targets and responsible gun

:15:20. > :15:22.users will be hit. The only people that will be affected will be those

:15:23. > :15:29.who have to apply and pay for a licence. Those wishing to avoid the

:15:30. > :15:36.law will continue to do so. Pressure came after the death of toddler

:15:37. > :15:40.Andrew Morton in Glasgow in 2005. Eggen users say existing laws

:15:41. > :15:46.already cover responsible airgun use. But the Scottish Government has

:15:47. > :15:51.said they think a scheme is necessary and they have no intention

:15:52. > :15:55.of changing their minds. There have been tragedies, lives lost and

:15:56. > :15:59.communities damaged so action has to be taken. We are aware that there

:16:00. > :16:04.are many responsible users and there is often need for the week use of

:16:05. > :16:13.these weapons for sport or vermin control so we have factored that in.

:16:14. > :16:16.I am cocking my rifle ready to load. Many of those are shooting for

:16:17. > :16:24.Scotland in next year's Commonwealth Games started with this. Users say

:16:25. > :16:29.that new licensing will stop new sports people getting into this port

:16:30. > :16:32.but the Government say that the new law has a correct balance.

:16:33. > :16:35.The Queen's Baton Relay has left Delhi, the city which staged the

:16:36. > :16:38.last Commonwealth Games. In the second of his special reports from

:16:39. > :16:46.India, Kevin Keane examines the sporting legacy left by the Games.

:16:47. > :16:51.Think of sport in this country and this is what springs to mind. In a

:16:52. > :16:56.residential part of Delhi, four separate cricket matches are crammed

:16:57. > :16:59.into one small park. It might not be the national sport but cricket is

:17:00. > :17:04.the national obsession. The high-end players get a lot of money and are

:17:05. > :17:10.household names but of course, with any sport, to get to those top

:17:11. > :17:15.players it has to start here at the grassroots. So that is what this

:17:16. > :17:20.port institute at Delhi University hopes to do. It is the only one in

:17:21. > :17:26.India and was kitted out using money from the Commonwealth Games. There

:17:27. > :17:32.was less awareness and there was opposition. Now people are

:17:33. > :17:37.considering that sports should be for all, maybe for competition, all

:17:38. > :17:41.for fitness and lifestyle. All these changes have taken place. Less than

:17:42. > :17:45.1% of people here are active in sport but brimming is one area which

:17:46. > :17:53.has seen a rise in participation. -- running. People always used to say

:17:54. > :18:04.what is he going to get from running the Mack now it is popular. We are

:18:05. > :18:10.running all the time. Ahead of 2010 new venues were built like the new

:18:11. > :18:13.velodrome. But nothing has happened here since the Games ended. The

:18:14. > :18:18.problem is the venues were built for a specific purpose and cycling is

:18:19. > :18:23.not terribly popular here in India. The velodrome has not been converted

:18:24. > :18:26.for use for anything else and so since Delhi 2010 it has stood empty.

:18:27. > :18:33.That said, the security guards have managed to find one unconventional

:18:34. > :18:37.use for it. Cricket bats are not the only ones which dominate in the

:18:38. > :18:42.capital. These creatures cast an eerie shadow over Delhi's streets.

:18:43. > :18:51.The games cast an even bigger shadow but sport is providing a new Ray of

:18:52. > :18:52.light in this largely inactive city. Let's hear about some sport nearer

:18:53. > :18:55.home. Rangers have been forced to postpone

:18:56. > :18:58.their annual general meeting planned for later this month after a court

:18:59. > :19:03.victory by shareholders seeking changes at board level. Former Ibrox

:19:04. > :19:07.secretary Paul Murray is leading the group and was at the court of

:19:08. > :19:11.session. They argued Rangers had broken the law by failing to ensure

:19:12. > :19:15.a motion to add four new members to their board was on their AGM agenda.

:19:16. > :19:23.The judge confirmed Rangers had committed an offence and ruled in

:19:24. > :19:26.the shareholders' favour. -- Rangers had not complied with all the

:19:27. > :19:31.regulations and ruled in the shareholders' favour. This is a

:19:32. > :19:38.football club and we are forced into court to get the club to comply with

:19:39. > :19:41.its legal obligations. It is legally obliged to put valid notices on to

:19:42. > :19:46.the AGM. They chose not to comply with that.

:19:47. > :19:49.As Scotland prepare to face Croatia in their final game of a

:19:50. > :19:52.disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign, the national manager is

:19:53. > :19:55.already thinking about their next chance to reach a major tournament.

:19:56. > :19:58.Gordon Strachan says he is relishing the challenge of leading his

:19:59. > :20:03.Scotland squad into the European Championships qualifiers in a year's

:20:04. > :20:07.time. The manager leading from the front

:20:08. > :20:10.for Scotland on the training pitch and after three wins in his opening

:20:11. > :20:16.seven matches Gordon Strachan is more than happy with the quality of

:20:17. > :20:20.player at his disposal. There has been some pleasant surprises. It has

:20:21. > :20:29.been nice. You expect them to do well and they do better than what

:20:30. > :20:32.you think, so that has been good. It is almost a generation since

:20:33. > :20:36.Scotland competed in a major tournament but there is hope for the

:20:37. > :20:45.future. Especially with a record number of teams a dual -- teams able

:20:46. > :20:51.to compete in France in 2016. It would be great to achieve that. But

:20:52. > :20:55.as I say, the home form is the thing. We have got to try to improve

:20:56. > :20:59.it. The captain has admitted mistakes were made but have been

:21:00. > :21:07.learned from during this campaign. We have learned a lot in the last

:21:08. > :21:11.few games. The manager has said how he wants us to play and what

:21:12. > :21:20.positions, went to press and not to press. We have learned a lot. It was

:21:21. > :21:23.this Robert Snodgrass goal that gave Scotland a 1-0 win over Croatia in

:21:24. > :21:27.June. A similar outcome tomorrow night would have the Tartan Army

:21:28. > :21:30.dreaming of France in three years time.

:21:31. > :21:32.The former British and Irish John Beattie believes Scotland's

:21:33. > :21:35.professional rugby team can make history by both reaching this

:21:36. > :21:38.season's European quarterfinals. Glasgow lost their first group match

:21:39. > :21:41.against Heineken Cup champions Toulon yesterday that Edinburgh had

:21:42. > :21:52.what a former Scotland captain says is a hugely significant win.

:21:53. > :21:59.This place has been a bit of rugby fortress for Glasgow this season.

:22:00. > :22:03.They are the pool 12 league leaders having one macro five out of five.

:22:04. > :22:10.But yesterday in France, they had to battle for European champions. And

:22:11. > :22:16.is a dazzling first half, they reminded us how they won the

:22:17. > :22:20.Heineken Cup, too long. But Glasgow fought back well. They lost 51-28 in

:22:21. > :22:27.the end but did enough to convince some they can regress to the

:22:28. > :22:31.tournament's latter stages. I think both Edinburgh and Glasgow could

:22:32. > :22:35.make it out of their groups. They could win their home games. They are

:22:36. > :22:39.up against some very good sides. If they play the way they did this

:22:40. > :22:46.weekend they will. Both teams in the quarterfinals would be a first.

:22:47. > :22:50.Edinburgh's defeat by Munster is viewed by some as hugely

:22:51. > :22:54.significant. You need to win your home games and pick up what you can

:22:55. > :22:59.away from home. So Edinburgh, to get that first big to be under their

:23:00. > :23:04.belt in that first game is great and what that gave them is huge

:23:05. > :23:11.confidence to take to Perpignan on. Edinburgh reached the semifinals two

:23:12. > :23:15.years ago but there will be many more Murrayfield celebrations if

:23:16. > :23:19.they can do it again. Elsewhere, in sport, there has been

:23:20. > :23:23.plenty happening involving Scots. Eilidh Child is among 12 Scottish

:23:24. > :23:28.athlete who have been given a funding boost from UK Athletics.

:23:29. > :23:33.They are being viewed as potential medallists at the Rio Olympics and

:23:34. > :23:37.Paralympics in 2016 and at the Games four years later. Striker Callum

:23:47. > :23:50.in their win. They will play Rangers or Stenhousemuir in the final.

:23:51. > :23:55.Edinburgh cyclist John Paul admits he was surprised to be tame his

:23:56. > :23:58.Scottish sprint track cycling title. The championships at the Sir Chris

:23:59. > :24:02.Hoy Velodrome do not guarantee Commonwealth Games places but he is

:24:03. > :24:08.delighted his form is returning. I have just come off from the

:24:09. > :24:12.championships and I have had a week and a half holiday. This is my first

:24:13. > :24:16.session back. I was feeling rusty and I was tired but I am really

:24:17. > :24:22.surprised. I am happy to come awake with a title.

:24:23. > :24:26.Show-jumping Olympics gold medallist won the series opener in Oslo.

:24:32. > :24:38.More sports stories plus all the latest news 24 hours a day on the

:24:39. > :24:43.BBC Sport Scotland website. It was a busy day and plenty more

:24:44. > :24:45.tomorrow, I am sure. Let's find out how the weather is

:24:46. > :24:54.looking this evening. A lot of us have seen a fair amount

:24:55. > :24:59.of cloud today, but not everywhere. Some lovely sunshine across southern

:25:00. > :25:07.Scotland and also the Western Isles. But that band of rain did produce

:25:08. > :25:11.some rain and we have more to content with in the North East

:25:12. > :25:15.tonight. Becoming lighter and patchy in nature as well. But across the

:25:16. > :25:19.South East some patchy rain edging in during the course of the night.

:25:20. > :25:25.Elsewhere, dry. Clear spells across western Scotland. Possibly some mist

:25:26. > :25:32.patches coming through here as well. Temperatures in the West about four

:25:33. > :25:37.Celsius but come inland to seven or eight Celsius. Excuse me, I have a

:25:38. > :25:42.frog in my throat. As we head into tomorrow, some patchy rain or

:25:43. > :25:45.drizzle initially across South East Scotland. And improving day for most

:25:46. > :25:53.of us. We will see some good spells of sunshine across western Scotland.

:25:54. > :25:59.Some lovely sunshine for the South West and a better day for the

:26:00. > :26:03.Glasgow area. Towards North Argyle we see some good spells. The Western

:26:04. > :26:10.Isles faring well once again, fair sunshine here. Blanket cloud for the

:26:11. > :26:13.Northern Isles may be producing the odd spot of rain or drizzle. Across

:26:14. > :26:18.the North East sunshine coming through. Maybe a few showers over

:26:19. > :26:23.the Cairngorms but nothing to write home about. Around Edinburgh and

:26:24. > :26:28.eventually into the Borders, just the odd shower. Very little changes

:26:29. > :26:33.as we head into the evening. Tomorrow night looks cold. Wind

:26:34. > :26:38.light for most of us. For the middle of the week on a change. This

:26:39. > :26:42.weather front brings out persistent and heavy rain across a good part of

:26:43. > :26:45.the country but high-pressure holds to the north keeping things drive.

:26:46. > :26:48.It starts off dry and bright on Wednesday but then the rain is

:26:49. > :26:53.gathering force across the country and it gets a little breezy as well.

:26:54. > :26:57.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news: Police investigating the

:26:58. > :27:01.disappearance of Madeleine McCann in Portugal six years ago say it's

:27:02. > :27:04.vitally important that they speak to a man seen by eye-witnesses at the

:27:05. > :27:09.time. They've issued two e-fit images of the suspect. The family

:27:10. > :27:15.who saw him say he was carrying a blonde child towards the harbour.

:27:16. > :27:18.Talks are under way to try to avert the planned 48-hour strike by

:27:19. > :27:21.workers at the Grangemouth refinery. Ineos, the company that runs the

:27:22. > :27:26.plant, says work has already begun to shut it down, but it's hoped that

:27:27. > :27:28.fuel supplies won't be affected. The investigation into Jimmy

:27:29. > :27:34.Savile's alleged abuse of patients is to be extended to include more

:27:35. > :27:37.NHS hospitals. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, says new information

:27:38. > :27:40.has come to light. At present the enquiry is focused on three

:27:41. > :27:43.hospitals, Broadmoor, Stoke Mandeville and Leeds General, and a

:27:44. > :27:45.further ten trusts. MINISTER A Church of Scotland minister whose

:27:46. > :27:49.mother and other close relatives were murdered in a suicide attack on

:27:50. > :27:52.a church in Pakistan has said he forgives their killers. The Reverend

:27:53. > :27:56.Aftab Gohar's mother, nephew, niece and other relatives and friends were

:27:57. > :28:00.among more than 100 people killed last month.

:28:01. > :28:10.And that is Reporting Scotland. I will be back with the headlines at

:28:11. > :28:13.8pm and the late bulletin just after the ten o'clock news. Good night.
