:00:00. > :00:15.details throughout the evening. Thank you very much.
:00:16. > :00:22.Tonight on Reporting Scotland: Dark times at Grangemouth oil refinery. A
:00:23. > :00:26.planned strike is called off, but owners Inoes say the plant is shut
:00:27. > :00:34.and will remain shut until at least Tuesday, as the dispute escalates.
:00:35. > :00:40.The reason that the site is shutdown at the moment is a clear result of
:00:41. > :00:46.the action taken by the Unite union. It is holding people hostage. It is
:00:47. > :00:49.holding the Scottish economy hostage and that is outrageous. We'll be
:00:50. > :00:51.live at Grangemouth and we'll be assessing the impact of the shutdown
:00:52. > :00:54.on the economy. Also tonight: Calls for an inquiry
:00:55. > :00:59.into food poverty as an increasing number of people turn to food banks.
:01:00. > :01:06.Coming home - the works of pioneering wildlife photographer
:01:07. > :01:10.Fredrick Walter Champion go on show. Out on a high - as Scotland ends its
:01:11. > :01:17.World Cup campaign with a win, Gordon Strachan says he can cope
:01:18. > :01:20.with a nation's raised expectations. The dispute at the Grangemouth
:01:21. > :01:24.refinery took a dramatic turn today when unions called off a planned
:01:25. > :01:27.strike, and its owners shut it down until Tuesday at least. Unions
:01:28. > :01:30.described the move as economic vandalism, while Ineos said it
:01:31. > :01:33.wanted guarantees the site - which supplies most of Scotland's fuel
:01:34. > :01:39.supplies - wouldn't face further industrial action over the winter.
:01:40. > :01:49.Our reporter Catriona Renton has been following developments and
:01:50. > :01:53.joins us now from Grangemouth. There are 1400 people employed
:01:54. > :01:59.directly here by Ineos, the company that runs Grangemouth, as well as
:02:00. > :02:06.2000 contract workers. Tonight, their futures are uncertain. Ineos
:02:07. > :02:08.has been running down Grangemouth in anticipation of the strike that was
:02:09. > :02:12.threatened for the weekend. Early this morning, the strike was called
:02:13. > :02:19.off, but Ineos says they will not be firing the plant up again. Until at
:02:20. > :02:25.least Tuesday. They said the Grangemouth is shutdown and will
:02:26. > :02:28.remain shut down. Unions and management had been trying to
:02:29. > :02:33.resolve their dispute since Monday, but even after their talks at the
:02:34. > :02:37.arbitration service Acas started, they were briefing against each
:02:38. > :02:40.other. Yesterday they talked for 16 hours right through the night but at
:02:41. > :02:44.six o'clock in the morning, they broke up. The strike was off but
:02:45. > :02:48.relations between both sides were worse than ever. Then this. The
:02:49. > :02:54.reason that the site is shutdown at the moment is a clear result of the
:02:55. > :02:58.action taken by the Unite union. This site is a distressed site and
:02:59. > :03:04.has been for some time. The action that has been taken this week has
:03:05. > :03:08.further posted that read performance of the site. The dispute was over a
:03:09. > :03:12.union convenor who works at the site but seems to have become more than
:03:13. > :03:15.this. Ineos said the deal breaker came when the union would not agree
:03:16. > :03:20.that there would be no further strikes this winter. The union said
:03:21. > :03:26.that is ludicrous and it guaranteed no action for three months to work
:03:27. > :03:30.on a survival plan for the plant. It is holding people to hostage,
:03:31. > :03:38.holding the Scottish economy to hostage and that is outrageous. This
:03:39. > :03:39.is economic vandalism. The union is calling on the Scottish and
:03:40. > :03:45.Westminster governments to intervene. We have indicated that we
:03:46. > :03:49.will do everything we can to facilitate investment in the plant
:03:50. > :03:53.but that depends on there being an investment plan to back because we
:03:54. > :03:57.want to see a long-term future for Grangemouth and we want both the
:03:58. > :04:04.Unite union and Ineos to back that future. Learn that the best people
:04:05. > :04:09.to conduct negotiations are Acas. But if there is a role that the
:04:10. > :04:14.government can play, then both the UK and the Scottish Government is
:04:15. > :04:17.stand ready to do so. Tomorrow workers will hear the company's
:04:18. > :04:23.proposals. Whether they buy into this will determine how quickly this
:04:24. > :04:28.place is back up and running. The shareholders will hear their
:04:29. > :04:31.feedback on Tuesday. Our Business and Economy editor
:04:32. > :04:36.Douglas Fraser is with me now. This has been a turbulent 24 hours.
:04:37. > :04:40.What's going on? The owners of the plant want to get
:04:41. > :04:47.their costs down. That is pay, pensions, perhaps jobs cuts. They
:04:48. > :04:50.say they will permanently shutdown the petrochemical part of the plant
:04:51. > :04:55.within three years if they do not get it. If they do get it, they will
:04:56. > :04:58.invest long term. After shutting it down, until next Tuesday no one is
:04:59. > :05:04.willing to promise that petrochemicals will start up again.
:05:05. > :05:07.The refinery looks certain but not petrochemicals. This is an assertive
:05:08. > :05:11.management tactic that appear to have put the Unite union on the back
:05:12. > :05:14.foot. It has pulled out of the strike without getting what it set
:05:15. > :05:25.out to achieve and they did not want to take the blame for the shutdown
:05:26. > :05:27.and says it is not necessary. The pressure is on the workers. They
:05:28. > :05:30.will get a proposal tomorrow which they have to think about over the
:05:31. > :05:32.weekend. The management want a response by Monday. And then the
:05:33. > :05:34.stakeholders, including a Chinese company, will take a decision on
:05:35. > :05:42.when it opens up again. In the meantime, the impact of the shutdown
:05:43. > :05:46.will be on the wider Scottish economy. Yes. People are concerned
:05:47. > :05:51.about the forecourt petrochemical supplies. That looks secure. There
:05:52. > :05:54.are arrangements for shipping in petrol and diesel but the
:05:55. > :05:58.significant long-term concern is about roughly 1500 people who
:05:59. > :06:03.operate in the petrochemical part of this plant and this is a vital plant
:06:04. > :06:07.for supplying chemicals and fuels throughout the whole Scottish
:06:08. > :06:14.economy. It does not look like a plant Scotland can afford to see
:06:15. > :06:17.shutdown. There's been a significant rise in
:06:18. > :06:20.the number of people in Scotland receiving emergency food aid. The
:06:21. > :06:24.charity the Trussell Trust says 23,000 people used its food banks in
:06:25. > :06:27.the first half of this year compared to just 4,000 in 2012. It's also
:06:28. > :06:30.claimed that three-quarters of those in need of food were forced to
:06:31. > :06:33.because of cuts to the benefits system. Jackie O'Brien reports.
:06:34. > :06:35.Food banks like this one in Inverness have never been in such
:06:36. > :06:38.demand. As modern day Scotland faces an unprecedented rise in the number
:06:39. > :06:42.of people left humiliated by the fact that they cannot afford to feed
:06:43. > :06:48.themselves. It makes you feel so small. You are grateful to
:06:49. > :06:55.everything the food bank helps you with. Last week, when I came round
:06:56. > :07:01.and went home, they took the stuff it, I stood there and cried. Janet
:07:02. > :07:06.Murray is one of the 23,000 Scottish people, a quarter of them children,
:07:07. > :07:10.who need emergency food aid from the Trussell Trust's food banks in the
:07:11. > :07:14.past year. A food parcel will contain enough supplies to last
:07:15. > :07:18.someone three days, its contents will depend on what has been donated
:07:19. > :07:23.but typically it will include you heat the milk, pasta, they are
:07:24. > :07:29.coffee and of course tinned beans. The Trussell Trust charity found
:07:30. > :07:34.that the majority of those using a food bank did so because of changes
:07:35. > :07:38.to the benefit system. -- UHT milk. We are seeing a lot of people who
:07:39. > :07:42.are being sanctioned for all sorts of reasons. People are being faced
:07:43. > :07:48.with a lot of confusion about the benefit system and the changes that
:07:49. > :07:52.are being made. The one man we met today, tracking down food was the
:07:53. > :08:00.easy part. Cooking it while sleeping rough was his next challenge. I am
:08:01. > :08:06.sleeping in different places, then she's -- benches. I cannot afford a
:08:07. > :08:12.bed and breakfast. I am really desperate.
:08:13. > :08:15.Employment in Scotland has reached its highest level for five years,
:08:16. > :08:19.according to the latest official figures. Employment rose by 37,000
:08:20. > :08:22.over the three months to August, and now stands at just over two and a
:08:23. > :08:25.half million. The number of unemployed Scots fell by 3,000 to
:08:26. > :08:28.201,000 over the summer period. Meanwhile, the latest retail figures
:08:29. > :08:34.suggest growth was subdued during September, with sales up by only
:08:35. > :08:38.1.8%. You're watching Reporting Scotland
:08:39. > :08:41.from the BBC. Still to come on the programme: The ground-breaking work

:08:48. > :08:52.display in Dumfries. In sport: Why the Scotland manger
:08:53. > :08:57.says the win over Croatia was beyond a dream. And why a Dunfermline
:08:58. > :09:04.Athletic legend says it's been a momentous day for the Fife club.
:09:05. > :09:08.That and more later. A murder trial has heard that the
:09:09. > :09:12.victim left a medical lecture to go to the toilet, and never returned.
:09:13. > :09:15.The High Court in Glasgow was also told that Khanokporn Satjawat
:09:16. > :09:18.complained to her friend that her conference badge had been checked on
:09:19. > :09:37.many occasions the day before she was killed. Aileen Clark reports.
:09:38. > :09:40.The T-shirt told the court that she had known their for ten years and
:09:41. > :09:43.that Khanokporn Satjawat had been working as a product manager for the
:09:44. > :09:48.same pharmaceutical company as her for 18 months. They travelled to
:09:49. > :09:51.Glasgow last of Emperor with ten doctors for an HIV conference at the
:09:52. > :09:55.SEC C. After the first day of the conference, the group had dinner at
:09:56. > :10:00.this restaurant. Khanokporn Satjawat told the court that Khanokporn
:10:01. > :10:04.Satjawat complained to her that she had had her conference ID badge
:10:05. > :10:10.checked many occasions. The next day, the group returned to the
:10:11. > :10:13.conference that the SEC C. Khanokporn Satjawat and her friend
:10:14. > :10:18.went to the Clyde Auditorium for a top. Khanokporn Satjawat's friend
:10:19. > :10:21.told the court that Khanokporn Satjawat went to the toilet but when
:10:22. > :10:24.she did not return after 20 minutes, she became worried and went to look
:10:25. > :10:30.for her and found out from the police later that Khanokporn
:10:31. > :10:35.Satjawat was dead. Security guard Clive Carter admits killing
:10:36. > :10:40.Khanokporn Satjawat but denies murdering her by hitting her
:10:41. > :10:44.repeatedly with a fire extinguisher. The SNP conference will open in
:10:45. > :10:48.Perth tomorrow - with a claim that the independence referendum is there
:10:49. > :10:51.to be won. But party leaders will insist that the campaign is about
:10:52. > :10:58.empowering the people of Scotland - and not the SNP. This from our
:10:59. > :11:06.political editor Brian Taylor. Nightfall. As yes campaigners spread
:11:07. > :11:13.the message in Musselburgh. Should Scotland be an independent country?
:11:14. > :11:16.No I am not 100% sure. SMP is by far the prime mover in advocating
:11:17. > :11:24.independence. But they insist it is not about them. Let's do it a few
:11:25. > :11:33.sums. When FNP first gained power in 2007, this was the share of the
:11:34. > :11:40.vote. 32.9%. Skip forward to 2011, and overall majority for the SNP,
:11:41. > :11:44.their share of the vote, 45.4%. Even in that larger figure, not all of
:11:45. > :11:48.those can be relied upon to vote yes in the referendum, to vote for
:11:49. > :11:53.independence. The SNP cannot bank up on that. What they require for the
:11:54. > :12:03.referendum victory is 50% of the people in Scotland to boot yes. Plus
:12:04. > :12:07.one person. As the Perth venue prepared for the
:12:08. > :12:12.SNP conference, party leaders played down their personal pitch. Vote in
:12:13. > :12:16.the referendum is not able for me or the SNP, it is able to principal to
:12:17. > :12:20.make sure that Scotland is independent so that the people of
:12:21. > :12:31.Scotland, for every election thereafter, get to choose their own
:12:32. > :12:38.government. On a scale of one to ten, where would you place yourself
:12:39. > :12:45.on that scale? It would be five. So where do the waverers lie? Of the
:12:46. > :12:49.party supporters, it seemed a Labour Party supporters are those who are
:12:50. > :12:53.most one over and we know that people are... Who are less well off
:12:54. > :12:56.are willing to vote for independence. The second group will
:12:57. > :13:00.be the body of people who are not strongly committed to a political
:13:01. > :13:03.party. Union supporters say people want concrete cancer is mainly on
:13:04. > :13:10.the economy but are not getting them. Nationalists say they can and
:13:11. > :13:12.will address those concerns. At party conferences, the message is
:13:13. > :13:17.generally pretty straight forward, it is vote for us and we will do
:13:18. > :13:21.good things. But I've SNP get ready for this conference, it is slightly
:13:22. > :13:24.different. It is, but for independence and then you, the
:13:25. > :13:28.people of Scotland, will be able to select your own list of policies. It
:13:29. > :13:39.is less about political power and more about popular potency. And more
:13:40. > :13:44.conference footage tomorrow morning when Deputy Leader Nicola Sturgeon
:13:45. > :13:51.will be interviewed. Other stories from across Scotland
:13:52. > :13:55.this Wednesday: private rents in Aberdeen are now averaging more than
:13:56. > :14:09.?1000 a month, according to figures from letting website Citylets.
:14:10. > :14:12.That's up 11.5% on last year. Average rents in Edinburgh are ?820
:14:13. > :14:14.a month, and Glasgow ?618. Police investigating the theft of a
:14:15. > :14:18.Henry Moore sculpture from Dumfriesshire want to speak to the
:14:19. > :14:21.three occupants of a Ford Transit style van in what's described as an
:14:22. > :14:25."unusual shade of blue". The three men were seen looking at the statue
:14:26. > :14:28.before it was stolen. The bronze sculpture is valued at ?3 million,
:14:29. > :14:31.but would fetch only a few hundred pounds if, as suspected, it was
:14:32. > :14:35.stolen for scrap. A further appeal is being made to
:14:36. > :14:38.the company behind plans for a 31 turbine wind farm on the edge of the
:14:39. > :14:41.Cairngorms National Park to withdraw its application. The firm RWE's
:14:42. > :14:44.plans for the Allt Duine wind farm in the Monadhliath Mountains are
:14:45. > :14:48.currently being considered by Scottish Ministers following a
:14:49. > :14:51.public local inquiry. Scotland's Fisheries Secretary
:14:52. > :14:54.Richard Lochhead has asked the UK government to allow him to lead
:14:55. > :15:01.negotiations at EU quota talks. The UK Fishing Minister George Eustace
:15:02. > :15:05.only took up his job last week. Mr Lochhead claims it would be unfair
:15:06. > :15:13.to ask him to lead tomorrow's talks in Brussels just days into the post.
:15:14. > :15:17.And there are more stories from your area, and all the latest news, 24
:15:18. > :15:18.hours a day on BBC Scotland's website.
:15:19. > :15:21.The boardroom upheaval continues at Rangers football club. Chief
:15:22. > :15:26.Executive Craig Mather left his position today amid a row over
:15:27. > :15:29.proposed board members. So what does the continuous turmoil mean for the
:15:30. > :15:35.team and its management? Heather Dewar reports.
:15:36. > :15:39.He has been in the position less than six months and today, his
:15:40. > :15:45.tenure at Rangers came to an abrupt end. A statement on the club 's
:15:46. > :15:51.website insisted Craig Mather had agreed to step down to help calm
:15:52. > :15:56.speculation over the governance and executive management of Rangers. So
:15:57. > :16:00.with the latest upheaval at Ibrox, the question must be, what happens
:16:01. > :16:05.now? They will but we were to appoint a new Chief Executive as
:16:06. > :16:10.soon as possible, likely before the club 's annual general meeting next
:16:11. > :16:18.month. The club has just one executive the and one nonexecutive
:16:19. > :16:22.director. The resignation of Craig Mather comes two days after former
:16:23. > :16:28.director Paul Murray won a court battle to postpone the annual
:16:29. > :16:31.general meeting in a row over proposed new directors. But in any
:16:32. > :16:38.other business, what would this turbulence and ward level mean?
:16:39. > :16:42.It is unusual to see that level of movement at board level and
:16:43. > :16:47.executive level in any sort of business and one thing I am sure the
:16:48. > :16:53.club, fans, board and chair holders will be looking to see is some level
:16:54. > :17:00.of continuity and consistency. And that is what fans want. We just
:17:01. > :17:04.want it settled down and I do not know what the right expression is,
:17:05. > :17:10.but we want to make on the field had lines and to see the club on a
:17:11. > :17:13.stable financial footing -- headlines.
:17:14. > :17:17.Rangers will be hoping the focus soon is on the football.
:17:18. > :17:24.Now to sporting matters on the field, here is David. We might not
:17:25. > :17:32.be on the road to Rio, but it was pretty good! It will be true beach
:17:33. > :17:36.for me! -- Troon. The Scotland manager
:17:37. > :17:39.Gordon Strachan says he is confident the team can cope with the nation's
:17:40. > :17:42.raised expectations after beating Croatia. The 2-nil win at Hampden
:17:43. > :17:45.means the failed 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign ended with a
:17:46. > :17:49.bang and not a whimper. Robert Snodgrass! He has done it
:17:50. > :17:55.again! Penshaw selves, this really did happen.
:17:56. > :18:01.-- hinge yourselves. A chance for a second goal, it is saved.
:18:02. > :18:06.Scotland beating a team rated as the eighth best in the world. They were
:18:07. > :18:12.in the manager describes as, be on and a dream. But how did he help
:18:13. > :18:18.make it a reality? -- beyond a dream. No idea, I do what I do and
:18:19. > :18:24.my staff do what they do. At the moment, we are happy with
:18:25. > :18:28.what we are doing. The campaign as a whole was a failure, Scotland
:18:29. > :18:30.finishing fourth behind Belgium, Croatia and Serbia in the qualifying
:18:31. > :18:35.group. The damage done before Gordon
:18:36. > :18:39.Strachan took over from Craig of lead halfway through the process.
:18:40. > :18:44.Under Gordon Strachan, results and performances have improved.
:18:45. > :18:49.He has got us approaching the game the right way, we believed we could
:18:50. > :18:54.beat Croatia and not many times she would have said that, so delighted.
:18:55. > :19:01.So perhaps the nation can look forward to the Euro 16 -- the Euro
:19:02. > :19:06.2016 qualifiers, because things are getting better, aren't they?
:19:07. > :19:10.I think there is an obvious and succumbing to your way. Yes!
:19:11. > :19:13.A direct answer. Dunfermline Athletic Supporters
:19:14. > :19:16.Group Pars United have taken control of the club. They say it is a
:19:17. > :19:20."momentous occasion," but are warning the hard work has just
:19:21. > :19:23.begun. A deal to buy the stadium and the club could lead the Pars out of
:19:24. > :19:28.administration, as Steven Godden reports.
:19:29. > :19:34.After months of gloom, something for supporters to smile about, at client
:19:35. > :19:37.-- at times, a club appeared destined for liquidation but a deal
:19:38. > :19:44.was confirmed tonight but in the power in the hands of those wearing
:19:45. > :19:47.the Scots. With a club of unbroken history, it is good to have another
:19:48. > :19:53.chapter about to start because we are about to write another chapter
:19:54. > :19:56.in the history of Dunfermline Athletic football club. It has been
:19:57. > :20:03.difficult so it is great and the future is in our own hands.
:20:04. > :20:07.They may like the spectacle of highlights like the 1961 Scottish
:20:08. > :20:13.Cup win. But the fans takeover is just a
:20:14. > :20:21.significance, according to a legend. He is a member of the new
:20:22. > :20:23.board task with making Dunfermline a sustainable business, plenty to be
:20:24. > :20:29.done and he welcomes a shift in focus. The future is about the
:20:30. > :20:36.players. We can start talking about sport back row and how well the boys
:20:37. > :20:41.are doing. -- talking about the game. Getting us focused to win
:20:42. > :20:46.points on a Saturday. With fans now in charge of the stage and the club,
:20:47. > :20:50.they have set themselves the challenge of returning to the top
:20:51. > :20:54.flight in Scotland again, a journey that continues here on Saturday
:20:55. > :21:02.against East Fife. A quick look at what else is happening against -- in
