:01:44. > :01:49.convenient for the Unite union at the plant. In the past week, the
:01:50. > :01:57.future of the planet and thousands of jobs where endowed. The owners
:01:58. > :02:02.had accused him of doing union work on company time and take action
:02:03. > :02:07.against them. The union threatened strike action and the owners
:02:08. > :02:20.reaction was to close down the plant. The union accused the owners

:03:23. > :03:32.the centre of this, but his resignation does not necessarily
:03:33. > :03:43.mean that the site can move on? Stephen Deans was left adrift by the
:03:44. > :03:51.situation last week. His advice was that the members should strike and

:03:58. > :04:02.terms, such as notes strike agreements and massive changes to
:04:03. > :04:07.the pay and conditions. Unite have suffered a huge blow to their
:04:08. > :04:16.influence at the plant and Stephen Deans, by the end, was pretty
:04:17. > :04:20.marginal. Many workers at Grangemouth was the struggling to
:04:21. > :04:24.keep up with events. They have had to accept huge changes to the terms

:05:14. > :05:20.dementia, she could tear him calling. He sounded really upset. I
:05:21. > :05:26.could hear him calling. He rushed to me and I said, it is all right, you
:05:27. > :05:32.are here voluntarily, you could come home if you want to. A voice behind
:05:33. > :05:35.me said, no, he can, he has been sectioned for 28 days and may not
:05:36. > :05:42.get out after that. The judge would seek own beer of the opening of the
:05:43. > :05:47.Scottish Parliament and now he was sectioned and the Duchess only got
:05:48. > :05:54.him released on condition he means 24-hour care for him. If that is

:06:12. > :06:18.interest. They should take into account the wishes of relatives and
:06:19. > :06:23.carers. The head of mental health watchdog says the law is good when
:06:24. > :06:26.properly followed. If you are detained under mental health
:06:27. > :06:29.legislation is that you are given the proper explanation as to why you
:06:30. > :06:36.are detained and what your rights are, such as the rate to appeal and
:06:37. > :06:41.the right to independent assessment. The law is being reviewed. The joke

:06:51. > :06:55.accused of murdering a conference delegate at the SECC in Glasgow has
:06:56. > :06:58.heard the closing speeches. The prosecution argues that Clive Carter
:06:59. > :07:02.is a cold-blooded man who has shown no remorse for the murder of the
:07:03. > :07:05.woman from Thailand. He admits the killing, but denies murder. His
:07:06. > :07:15.defence told the jury that culpable homicide should be the correct
:07:16. > :07:22.verdict. For the prosecution, they told the jury, Khanokporn Satjawat
:07:23. > :07:29.was a defenceless lady who was doing nothing more than going about her
:07:30. > :07:39.business, when she was attacked by a man being paid to make sure she was
:07:40. > :07:44.safe. Khanokporn Satjawat Was attending a conference on HIV at the
:07:45. > :07:50.SEC see in Glasgow. When she left, security guard Clive Carter
:07:51. > :07:53.bludgeoned her to death with the fire extinguisher. The advocate
:07:54. > :08:09.advocate depute said: the accused had failed to establish
:08:10. > :08:15.that a personality disorder had any beading on the attack and so, Clive
:08:16. > :08:31.Carter should be found guilty of murder. The defence started the
:08:32. > :08:36.delivery by saying that he should be accused of a diminished
:08:37. > :08:44.responsibility verdict. They said it was an impulsive act of violence for
:08:45. > :08:49.him to attack Khanokporn Satjawat. The defence added:
:08:50. > :08:57.he finished by saying that culpable homicide was not a lesser verdict,
:08:58. > :09:04.but is the correct verdict in this instance. The final deliberations
:09:05. > :09:06.will be done in the morning before the jury is sent out to do the date

:15:24. > :15:32.It is a thoroughly modern and very fast growing city but in the heart

:16:57. > :17:06.It means a lot of preparation. 100 kilos of rice and 100 chickens. I

:17:20. > :17:24.completely open to change but just not willing to do so at the cost of
:17:25. > :17:29.what is important, a sense of family and community. This village is

:18:13. > :18:26.reports, they're determined to keep their feet on the ground.

:18:46. > :18:56.that that the minute but we are still aware of how rarely it is in
:18:57. > :19:01.the season. -- early. The plan is to take them to a higher place finish
:19:02. > :19:05.than in any of the previous format years but they are just two points
:19:06. > :19:10.better off than this time last season. You cannot get carried
:19:11. > :19:17.away. You have won a few games and people think you will finish high
:19:18. > :19:25.but anything can happen. We will keep on an even keel and keep
:19:26. > :19:29.working and do what we are doing. Maybe previous false dawns are also
:19:30. > :19:34.keeping them in check. A definite sense of optimism, cautious or

:19:45. > :19:50.and Italy the other sides in Scotland's group. Now it's fair to
:19:51. > :19:53.say that Rugby League is a minority sport here and there are no

:21:03. > :21:07.realistic. People might put us down and not back us but we have a group
:21:08. > :21:11.that believes in us. Scotland are ready for their assault on the Rugby
