Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. The future of Grangemouth. The Unite | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
union claims a majority of its members have rejected the deal on | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
offer from management. An age old girl is recovering in | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
hospital after being attacked by two bulldogs, parents are still in | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
shock. One minute she was out being, then she was screaming, help me. | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
That is all I remember. Also tonight, getting ready for winter, | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
remember these scenes? The Scottish Government wants us to make sure we | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
are prepared for anything in the coming months. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Dutch champions Ajax arriving Glasgow ahead of tomorrow night's | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
Champions League match against Celtic. I have let my country down, | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
I have let everyone I have trained with down. And from an Olympic low, | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
to gold at the European Judo Open, Euan Burton sets his sights on the | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
Commonwealth Games. In the last half-hour, that deadline | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
has passed for workers at the Grangemouth refinery to accept or | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
reject sweeping changes to their pay and conditions. The company that | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
owns the plant insists radical cost-cutting measures are needed, or | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
it will close. Within the last few minutes, the Unite union has claimed | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
that most union members have rejected the company's offer. For | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
the union members on-site, city 5% of them have rejected this offer. -- | :01:42. | :01:52. | |
65%. 665 opt out forms came to us direct, rejecting the offer. It is a | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
clear message, to go back to the company and say the workforce has | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
spoken, they have expressed their views. David Henderson is at | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Grangemouth. Is the situation any clearer? Well, what is clearer is | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
that the management have not won the first round of this battle, by a | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
knockout. In the last half are, at deadline expired, it was a deadline | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
that was set by management for the 1350 staff here at Grangemouth, and | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
it was along these lines. It said, you must accept major changes to | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
your pay and pensions, otherwise this plant does not have a future. | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
300 or so members of staff, it seems, have got back in touch with | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
the company and accepted the need for major changes, however, the | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
union have now said that 65 said of their membership, around half of all | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
the staff -- six to 5%, have rejected a plan, they say the union | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
and management should know sit down and have more talks. -- 65%. It is | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
up to the owners of Grangemouth to make up their minds about what they | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
now plan to do about this. In the meantime, the plant remains closed | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
and it is losing tens of thousands of pounds every day. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
The stakes are high and with every hour, they are rising. Today, we | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
took to the air, to see for ourselves the effects of this | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
shutdown. The flame stacks may still burn, but do not be fooled, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Grangemouth is not working. From up here, you can see the sheer scale of | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
the complex and what is at stake. The refinery produces up to 9 | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
million litres of fuel every day, that is enough for the forecourts of | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland combined. The | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
petrochemical plant produces up to 2 million tonnes of chemicals every | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
year. For workers at Grangemouth like Scott Sibson, this is a | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
difficult moment, choice, perhaps, the dream a loss of pay and the | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
threat of redundancy. I have been quite downbeat. A lot of people are | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
quite worried, understandably. The choice between signing a contract in | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
45 days or losing your job. So what does the future hold for the plant | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
at its workforce? The owners warn that I must pay and pensions change, | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
there is no future and the plant will close in a few years time. What | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
we are looking for is for the employees to give a real message | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
both to the shareholders and also to the unions, they do not want to | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
strike, we want the plan to be up and running and they want a sensible | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
period of discussion between now and the end of the consultation. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Tomorrow, the owners will decide their next step, but both sides want | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
progress, on their own terms, and that has already created a crisis. | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
Well, our business and economy editor Douglas Fraser joins me now. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
What is the process now? It goes over to the company to counter | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
responses, they are not really looking for majority. They are | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
looking for which part of the complex have voted either way, how | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
many from the refinery and also across the road in the petrochemical | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
plant. Then tomorrow, the shareholders will consider the | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
results, whether they think opinion is shifting their way, it will take | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
advice and hear from bondholders, who funded the expansion of INEOS, | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
it is a Chinese company, they have half the refinery, they have half | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
the say in that. I am told this group may not decide tomorrow, the | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
could take several days to reach a decision. -- they could. They have | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
widened their options, it is important to note that over the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
weekend, the threat level increased. Jim Ratcliffe, who controls INEOS, | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
said if the petrochemical plant closes, and that has been under | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
threat for a couple of weeks, the neighbouring refinery is likely to | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
also do so. If the shutdown continues, the owners of the plant | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
may not be willing to continue funding it. This is an entrenched | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
and increasingly bitter dispute, who is driving it? The key figure is Jim | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
Rash Cliff, who set up INEOS just 15 years ago, -- Jim Rash Cliff. He is | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
already a billionaire with a lot of debt. He has grown at to ?27 billion | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
per year. He is based in Switzerland, for tax reasons. He has | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
shown himself to be pretty ruthless about cost-cutting. Clearly, | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
Grangemouth is a big deal for Scotland and the Scottish economy, | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
it is a big plant for him as well, with very high stakes. He wants to | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
persuade unions he is not afraid to abandon them. | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
An eight-year-old girl who was attacked by two bulldogs will have | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
to spend eight weeks in hospital to recover from serious facial and leg | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
wounds. Broagan McEwing was mauled when she was playing in government. | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
-- McCuaig. When Broagan went to play with her | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
friends in her own garden, she thought she was safe and secure. But | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
she was subjected to a ferocious attack neighbour's to American | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
bulldogs. Her got there in time to see the dog striking Broagan along | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
the ground. The worst day of my life. It was terrible. It was | :07:44. | :07:58. | |
horrible. Just think, one minute she was screaming, help me! That is all | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
I remember. Broagan has had two operations over the weekend and | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
doctors say she now faces an eight week stay in hospital to recover. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Her facial injury is healing well, but she will need more muscle and | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
skin grafts on her leg. Her mum says she has been traumatised. She keeps | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
asking if the dogs are away. She thinks they are still in that house. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
We have to reassure her there is nothing there. That they had been | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
taken away by the police. She just keeps... Obviously, she is getting | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
flashbacks. Is terrified. We are just getting her through it. Her mum | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
and dad are disgusted and angry that their daughter has had to go through | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
all this. I am really angry. Nobody should have these dogs, they are for | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
farms, but people -- for people with fields. These dogs are to bring down | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
beers and cattle. Not for a block of flats. -- bears. The flat belonging | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
to the owners of the dogs have been boarded up and neighbours say they | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
have moved out. The lease have confirmed a man and a woman have | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
been charged. But for Broagan's family, the just concentrating on | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
helping her get better. She was being a bit cheeky to me, so I think | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
she is coming back, slowly. She is getting there. I am really proud of | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
her, she is so brave. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on the programme... | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
The loneliness of the long-distance swimmer, still three weeks to his | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
destination. In sport, we will hear from the Celtic and Ajax camps ahead | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
of the Champions League cash in Glasgow, and a year on from his | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
emotional exit at the Olympics, Euan Burton is back on the podium and | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
ready to represent the Scottish judo team at the Commonwealth Games. | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
In the last week, we told you how councils need to make further | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
savings and could cut hundreds of jobs. Instead of just curtailing | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
services, many local authorities are looking at how they can change the | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
way these services are provided. Jamie McIvor has been assessing some | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
of the options. There is more to making savings than simply making | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
cuts. We know the austerity for councils will continue for several | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
more years, and most expect to have to make substantial savings. These | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
are just some. The challenge is a big one and there are a couple of | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
reasons for that, the squeeze on public spending is set to continue | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
while the UK Government tackles the deficit, and demand for some | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
services is set to keep on rising, for instance, because the population | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
is growing older. As well as cuts, many councils are also looking at | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
how to reform social -- local services. Afternoon tea for some | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
pensioners, provided by a charity, helped and supported by the council. | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
It is great, because it is something to look forward to. We do not fully | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
get out much. -- really. I used to be able to do things and I -- and | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
now I can't. The idea of schemes like this is the | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
keep healthy and more active. Regardless of | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
They see their friends and get involved | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
keeps them mentally and physically well. Most people agree that | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
so-called early intervention is a good thing, the problem is, councils | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
cannot abandon the people who need urgent help now, so savings take | :11:50. | :12:00. | |
time. A few miles away, there is another big plan for change. To | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
councils in Ayrshire are set to merge the roads departments. -- two | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
councils. This will take ten years, we will reduce management costs and | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
admin costs, so we will be able to deliver the services be currently | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
deliver, and these will be done at a lesser cost. It will not be the | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
have shared just one roads agency, but across the country, there has | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
been far less progress towards dazzles sharing services than some | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
have predicted. -- towards councils. Where | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
see several is that several councils in the West work closely | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
simply fizzled out. While changing the way local services are delivered | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
might prove to be better money over time, the problem is, | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
councils need to save cash quickly. It can take years for reforms to | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
bring about big savings, but now. | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
Now a word about a special evening with Gary Robertson. | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
The Dunfermline by-election Thursday. Tonight I will hear from | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
the candidates Dunfermline's next MSP. What to do | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
about Grangemouth, Cannes of cuts, local schools and your | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
opinions about the referendum. -- council | :13:22. | :13:58. | |
Proposed changes to teachers' working conditions have been | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
rejected by members of Scotland's largest teachers' union, the EIS. | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
Members voted against the proposals by 59% to 41%. The union says it'll | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
seek talks with employers and the Government before it decides what | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
happens next. One of the Royal Navy's Sea King | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
search and rescue helicopters had to be rescued at the weekend. The crew | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
made an emergency landing in just over a week ago. A Chinook | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
helicopter Glencoe village before it was taken | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
back to its Ayrshire base A four-day Public Local Inquiry | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
starting today into a ahead because the development is | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
unlawful, say campaigners. Last Session ruled a proposed wind farm | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
in Shetland was unlawful electricity generating licence. | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
Some whisky distillers in Scotland are bringing in | :14:48. | :15:21. | |
area, and all the latest news, 24 hours a day on BBC Scotland's | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
website. Pellet only be seven months since Arran and Argyllshire were cut | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
off by skilful? The nights are drawing in and ahead of the clocks | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
going back this weekend, the Scottish Government has launched its | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
Ready for Winter campaign. Cameron Buttle reports. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
When Scotland looks this majestic, it is hard to think of deals, | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
storms, snow and subzero tempters. But when the leaves start falling, | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
winter is calling. It is easy to forget that only a few months ago, | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
some parts of Scotland looked like this. One predictable thing is that | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
it will be unpredictable. We have to prepare for the worse, whether that | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
is high winds, the extreme low temperatures which stayed with us | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
for a long period of time, things like the snow train which cleared | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
snow from the lines of the icebreaker for the roads, making | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
sure we have the salt stocks in place, all these things have been | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
learned from previous years. It is hard to plan for whether this | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
severe, but flooding buzzes misery and millions of pounds worth of | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
damage. In the Borders, a new scheme offers cheaper protection. We have a | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
disposable sandbag, when water reacts with it, it turns into gel. | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
We use that inside a property. We have the event or is, different | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
types of them. We can stop what are entering. Finally, we have the | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
floodgate, which we can use to prevent what are entering through | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
the front door. The message from the experts is that simple steps can | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
save a lot of grief later. The biggest tip would make sure your | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
tyres are legal. Make sure you can see where you're going, make sure | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
your windscreen wipers are in good working order and the clear the | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
windscreen Poly. If you must travel when the weather is broke, have the | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
right equipment and plan ahead. You can have what in the house, you can | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
have a radio, portable radio you can listen to with spare batteries, and | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
you can have a torch and a mobile phone available, just to make sure | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
you will not be at risk. Now is the time to take those simple steps, | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
before winter takes hold. Now, it is a truly incredible | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
journey, an adventurer from Gloucestershire is more than 100 | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
days into his bid to be the first person to swim from Land's End to | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
John O'Groats. Today, Sean Conway is off the Sutherland coast. As soon as | :18:07. | :18:20. | |
people to me I was going to die, I thought I would prove them wrong. A | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
veteran of Iron Man events, Sean Conway clearly has adventurer in his | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
blood. But a saltwater swim more than 1000 miles was a tall order, | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
even for him. I am not naturally a strong swimmer, so doing swimming | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
challenge was quite tough for me. I am not really good with the call. | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
All those things came together. No one else has tried it. Because of | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
the effect of sea water on his mouth, Sean cannot chew any more and | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
has to liquidise most of his food. The rigours of days afloat are a | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
challenge for his support team as well. Physically it has been OK, | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
because I am not going at a really fast pace. But my back and arms from | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
paddling everyday, I can feel it, but you cannot complain when there | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
is summing -- someone swimming next year. Sean admits he has found | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
Scotland bigger than he thought. Today he is close to the coast of | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
Sutherland. But even the odd injury will not stop his charity swim. The | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
doctors say I should not lose this to. I have to watch if the blue | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
starts going up my leg! You will sell more books if your total falls | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
off, write? -- if your total falls off. Time for the sports news. | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
Celtic will be without Chris, and for tomorrow night's Champions | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
League match against Ajax in Glasgow. Celtic are bottom of group | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
H. There is a lack of creativity within the squad when it comes to | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
Champions League level. Unlike training session ahead of tomorrow | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
night's games. With no points so far, does manager Neil Lennon feel | :20:11. | :20:21. | |
when it's crucial? No, we must not get beat. I am confident this team | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
can perform away from home as well. Winning the game would put us in a | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
good position in the group. Losing the game would lose our aspirations | :20:33. | :20:47. | |
for trying to qualify. Bobby Petta feels there is something missing in | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
creating opportunities at Champions League level. I think they lack | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
creativity in my opinion. In midfield, and perhaps on the wing as | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
well. Just that bit of magic. Players cost a lot of money. But we | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
are doing our best with the personnel that we have two not only | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
create chances, but not throw them away. We created plenty on Saturday, | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
we should have won the game. The Dutch giants arrived in Glasgow this | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
lunchtime in confident mood. Celtic fans will be hoping it is their | :21:33. | :21:41. | |
players who rise to the occasion. Well, Ajax are, as we speak, | :21:42. | :21:44. | |

manager Frank De Boer spoke to the media. To be in the second place, | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
you want to play for a second place, and the best is to win this game. | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
Two maybe not secure, but to have a good position for the third-place, | :21:59. | :22:04. | |

Heather Dewar. 15 months ago, his world was | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
shattered with defeat at the London Olympics. I let my mum and dad and | :22:29. | :22:39. | |
my brother down. I have been working for this for over quarter of a | :22:40. | :22:45. | |

has moved up a weight level. It is providing positive results. He is in | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
contention for Commonwealth selection now. If they see fit to | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
select me know, I would love to go and put on the judo kit for | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Scotland, for the first time in my career. It has been Great Britain | :23:18. | :23:23. | |

performances will help them kick on in the league. Despite defeat to | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Perpignan yesterday, they've shown an improvement in form. We have | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
enjoyed our two weeks in the Heineken Cup. It is always an | :24:06. | :24:07. | |
exciting time playing European cups. But we have got a point to prove in | :24:08. | :24:14. | |

Commonwealth Games tickets as those who missed out last time have | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
another chance to try again. Organisers are asking for patience. | :24:35. | :24:38. | |

Let's get the weather now. Nothing wintry in the weather this | :25:09. | :25:18. | |
week, but autumn is giving us a lot of food for thought. A lot of | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
whether going on this week. Very wet and very windy. It was a mild start | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
and it will be mild once again to model. But really wet and windy. | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
Let's take a look at the satellite picture. A blanket of cloud across | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
the country. There is a band of rain just to the north of the Forth Clyde | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
Valley. We do have a Met Office yellow warning in force. We can see | :25:49. | :25:54. | |

times to give longer spells of rain. The further east you are, it is not | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
exactly dry, but the showers will not be as frequent honours heavy. | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
Breezy at times. Temperatures of 13 or 14 degrees. Dryer for Thursday, | :27:18. | :27:40. | |
