:01:26. > :01:29.returned to its home. Six Celtic supporters have appeared
:01:30. > :01:32.in court in Amsterdam after being accused of attacking a Dutch police
:01:33. > :01:37.officer before Wednesday night's game against Ajax. All six will
:01:38. > :01:42.appear in court again within two weeks. Earlier at the Celtic manager
:01:43. > :01:47.and Neil Lennon said he was disappointed but not surprised with
:01:48. > :01:53.what happened, given the level of provocation faced by the Celtic
:01:54. > :02:00.supporters. These were the violent scenes ahead of the game. Dutch
:02:01. > :02:02.police say that it started because some Ajax supporters took a flag
:02:03. > :02:08.from Celtic supporters who retaliated. Then they say things got
:02:09. > :02:14.worse as a large group of Celtic supporters attacked plainclothes
:02:15. > :02:19.police officers. Eight officers were injured and one of them left
:02:20. > :02:26.unconscious. 44 people were arrested in total, 28 Celtic fans, 16 from
:02:27. > :02:30.Ajax. Today, the Celtic manager said that if there was a reaction from
:02:31. > :02:37.the supporters, it was because of immense provocation. Disappointed
:02:38. > :02:40.but not surprised. If there were Celtic supporters of. Or. Then the
:02:41. > :02:48.club will take the appropriate action obviously. -- out of order.
:02:49. > :02:52.But there is a culture with Ajax. They caused problems for Manchester
:02:53. > :03:00.City and Manchester United fans. It is not exclusive to Celtic.
:03:01. > :03:04.The supporters are aged between 20 and 49 years old and are all charged
:03:05. > :03:09.with acts of violence against obese officers in a public space. It
:03:10. > :03:15.carries a maximum sentence of six years in prison and a bunch of. The
:03:16. > :03:23.six men will appear again. -- under Dutch law. Many Celtic supporters
:03:24. > :03:30.say the least were heavy-handed. -- the police. If there was trouble it
:03:31. > :03:36.should have been isolated and dealt with on its merit. Not an attack on
:03:37. > :03:38.1000 people because two people caused trouble. It was
:03:39. > :03:46.indiscriminate and out of proportion. Police in Amsterdam
:03:47. > :03:52.defended their tactics saying that they will use violence if somebody
:03:53. > :03:55.is resisting arrest. UEFA are already taking disciplinary action
:03:56. > :04:01.against Ajax supporters for throwing objects at Celtic Park. And they
:04:02. > :04:07.will now take further action over an offensive banner displayed at the

:04:24. > :04:30.politics of the job cuts and the closure of Portsmouth shipyards,
:04:31. > :04:33.that has cooled down a little bit. It was tangled up with the debate
:04:34. > :04:39.about Scotland's constitutional future. But there were more visitors
:04:40. > :04:43.today from the Scottish government, Nicola Sturgeon and John Swinney.
:04:44. > :04:48.They are keen to talk to the owners about finding new customers beyond
:04:49. > :04:54.the Ministry of Defence. Exports, building different types of ships to
:04:55. > :04:57.warships. But the main message was about support for Rhys killing and
:04:58. > :05:08.retraining the workforce for a move into the work -- new sectors. --
:05:09. > :05:12.reskilling. They are our engineering companies in this part of Scotland
:05:13. > :05:20.and other art of Scotland that have a demand for the types of skills
:05:21. > :05:25.employed on the Clyde. -- other parts of Scotland. There is no
:05:26. > :05:28.silver lining to the announcement that we heard of this week but
:05:29. > :05:36.nevertheless there is scope to work with the people affected. What
:05:37. > :05:39.happens next? There is detailed to be worked out about when the
:05:40. > :05:47.redundancies take place and how they are handled. There will be meetings
:05:48. > :05:51.with the workforce on Wednesday and Thursday from the union leadership,
:05:52. > :06:01.whose messages, stay focused on your current job. -- whose message is.
:06:02. > :06:08.The big problem for BAE Systems is a Portsmouth where management faced a
:06:09. > :06:11.stormy reaction. The boss of the naval ships division came north to
:06:12. > :06:20.Glasgow and founded a rather calmer place to be. You're watching
:06:21. > :06:24.reporting Scotland. Still to come: one year ago it looked like this,
:06:25. > :06:29.but residents are still trying to overcome the many problems after a
:06:30. > :06:36.deluge. And in sport Scotland stay they want to win big in their first
:06:37. > :06:39.autumn rugby union test. Meanwhile, unbeaten, but Scotland could be
:06:40. > :06:46.bowing out of the Rugby league World Cup.
:06:47. > :06:53.The funeral has taken place of Jack Alexander, from the enduring musical
:06:54. > :06:57.act, the Alexander Brothers. He did last weekend. He was 77. Figures
:06:58. > :07:08.from Scottish variety attended the service. The old Kirk of Ayr was the
:07:09. > :07:18.venue, to pay tribute to Jack Alexander. Jack, the singer and a
:07:19. > :07:22.showman, with his brother Tom on copying, the brothers entertained
:07:23. > :07:33.audiences for 54 years. They retired just 18 months ago. It has been a
:07:34. > :07:40.wonderful career. A great ride. I have loved it. Johnnie Beattie, who
:07:41. > :07:48.has shared many a stage with him, gave the eulogy. The wonderful thing
:07:49. > :07:59.about Tom and Jack was that they will not wield axe styles. -- they
:08:00. > :08:06.were not weird big stars. It was such a delight to work with them and
:08:07. > :08:13.know them. Thanks for the memories. It was like being at the theatre.
:08:14. > :08:18.Johnnie Beattie reminiscing, the audience applauding, it was a
:08:19. > :08:25.wonderful atmosphere. Jack would have loved that. His loss is felt
:08:26. > :08:30.most keenly by his wife and family. And of course his brother and the
:08:31. > :08:38.showbiz partner. But he had many friends in the business. There are
:08:39. > :08:42.very few of us left. But I never heard anybody say anything
:08:43. > :08:48.derogatory about him. That is saying something, in show business. Great
:08:49. > :08:55.to see the love of the people for them. It was wonderful. I have been
:08:56. > :09:04.all over the world with these two voice. I know them like the back of
:09:05. > :09:09.my hand. I loved Jack. A great tribute. Friends, supporters,
:09:10. > :09:10.followers all over the world. Represented today by a great feeling
:09:11. > :09:32.of love and affection. 12 months ago, people in Comrie walk
:09:33. > :09:38.to discover that floodwater had overwhelmed an entire neighbourhood.
:09:39. > :09:42.They are still counting the cost. Many premises remain empty and
:09:43. > :09:48.insurance premiums have spiralled. Residents are nervous about the
:09:49. > :09:52.future. At first glance, it may not seem like a town still in recovery.
:09:53. > :10:01.But look closely, the signs are there. More than 100 people had to
:10:02. > :10:08.be evacuated last November. This was Christine's Street. It was eight
:10:09. > :10:15.months before she could return home. Many people are very nervous, still,
:10:16. > :10:24.about the implications of flooding. It is a constant talking point.
:10:25. > :10:26.Practically one year on. Like many of her neighbours, flooding was just
:10:27. > :10:33.the start of the problems for Christine. ?10,000 of lead savings
:10:34. > :10:38.had to be spent on flood protection. The only way the insurance company
:10:39. > :10:42.would offer cover. People are struggling to find the money for
:10:43. > :10:50.high excesses. Dreamy prices have one up. Rocketed, really. -- premium
:10:51. > :10:56.prices have gone up. Many people cannot get any cover at all. A
:10:57. > :11:02.scheme to spend ?1 million on new flood defences has shored up last
:11:03. > :11:06.year's flooding but the villagers a meeting place for three Rivers saw
:11:07. > :11:12.they considering whether a larger prospect is affordable. It is
:11:13. > :11:15.difficult to source the funding we are looking for. And there are other
:11:16. > :11:19.areas across the whole of the country that will be competing for
:11:20. > :11:27.additional funding. The people are not alone. Here in Fife it is more
:11:28. > :11:31.than a year since flooding destroyed this house. It stands here untouched
:11:32. > :11:36.with many of the owner's belongings still inside, a monument to life put
:11:37. > :11:42.on hold long after the flood water recedes. The inescapable conclusion
:11:43. > :11:47.is that peace of mind comes at a cost.
:11:48. > :11:54.Some of the other stories from across Scotland this Friday: Police
:11:55. > :11:58.in the Western Isles are appealing for drivers to take extract here
:11:59. > :12:07.after 11 people were taken to hospital. -- extra care. The road
:12:08. > :12:11.accident happened near Stornoway. Divers have replaced the Royal Navy
:12:12. > :12:19.White Ensign on a sunken battleship. More than 800 crew did when it was
:12:20. > :12:24.to people by a German U-boat. The flag is replaced annually as a mark
:12:25. > :12:27.of respect. A study has found that Scotland's councils have made only a
:12:28. > :12:33.slight improvement overall in efforts to promote cycling. Cycling
:12:34. > :12:37.Scotland says that Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen have made
:12:38. > :12:42.the most progress, but say much more needs to be done. Some local
:12:43. > :12:47.authorities have already put in place of strategic plans. They have
:12:48. > :12:56.allocated large budgets. And large improvements in infrastructure. A
:12:57. > :13:01.new warning system to protect tidal surges on the Moray Firth is being
:13:02. > :13:05.developed. The Scottish environment protection agency started work on
:13:06. > :13:12.the project following major storms that damaged harbours and Caithness
:13:13. > :13:15.and Moray last December. The first of Scotland's five Snow sports
:13:16. > :13:20.centres to open for the winter season is preparing runs or
:13:21. > :13:26.tomorrow. Skiing and snowboarding could be possible. There are more
:13:27. > :13:28.stories from your area and the latest news, 24 hours a day, on the
:13:29. > :13:36.website. The Scottish government is
:13:37. > :13:39.abandoning its plans to hold elections to allow the public to
:13:40. > :13:44.choose who they want to run health boards. The policy was a 2007
:13:45. > :13:50.election pledge in response to public outrage. The government
:13:51. > :13:58.admits that simply advertising health will post more widely has
:13:59. > :14:03.been cheaper and successful. This was the setting for the Scottish
:14:04. > :14:07.Parliament elections of 2007. Several hospitals had been closed or
:14:08. > :14:13.earmarked for closure. The public felt that health bosses were not
:14:14. > :14:19.listening. The SNP promises elected health board members and 2010 in
:14:20. > :14:29.Dumfries a pilot began. This hospital is under threat, but it did
:14:30. > :14:37.not translate into votes. I do not use it often myself. But I know
:14:38. > :14:43.people who do. The ballot paper was a long one, very long. 16 and
:14:44. > :14:53.17-year-olds were allowed to vote for the first time, but were told
:14:54. > :15:02.off. Here is the ballot paper which has 61 candidates. The Scottish
:15:03. > :15:08.government has decided to advertise positions better. We were much more
:15:09. > :15:15.optimistic about the possibilities of these elections on voter turnouts
:15:16. > :15:19.and the cost has been higher than we can justify. What of that in the
:15:20. > :15:27.Jude species elected health board members? Thereafter a number of
:15:28. > :15:33.people coming to elections with single issues, wanting to save
:15:34. > :15:36.individual hospitals. Very commendable but not having a breadth
:15:37. > :15:44.of understanding of what the health board is all about. Mr Walls hopes
:15:45. > :15:48.to be reappointed next June but if the Scottish government 's new
:15:49. > :15:56.scheme really works he can expect stiff competition.
:15:57. > :15:59.The Church of Scotland has added its voice to calls for the armed forces
:16:00. > :16:03.to stop recruiting 16 and 17-year-olds. It wants the minimum
:16:04. > :16:05.age to be raised to 18. The Ministry of Defence says its young recruits
:16:06. > :16:11.receive valuable training and education and are not sent to
:16:12. > :16:17.battle. Rob Flett reports. The soldiers are packing up for a
:16:18. > :16:21.training exercise. As thoughts turn to the sacrifices borne by our armed
:16:22. > :16:28.forces, the Church of Scotland says it is too much to ask 16 and
:16:29. > :16:34.17-year-olds to sign up to a life as soldiers. Zimbabwe has moved its age
:16:35. > :16:41.up to 18. It is becoming more obvious that our children are the
:16:42. > :16:46.ones we should protect. The church has joined other groups backing the
:16:47. > :16:57.call to raise the minimum recruitment age to 18. It is an
:16:58. > :17:01.emotive issue. I believe they are not in the mainline of the rest of
:17:02. > :17:07.the battalions. They are totally separate. The number of 16-year-olds
:17:08. > :17:15.recruited has fallen three quarters in the last decade, but the system
:17:16. > :17:19.still has support. 16 and 17-year-olds are not going to the
:17:20. > :17:26.front line but alongside that, it is clear that while soldiers are
:17:27. > :17:31.selected, they need to be carefully selected. The Ministry of defence
:17:32. > :17:45.says it is proud of its record of educating young recruits. Now let's
:17:46. > :17:51.get the sport. Autumn is not just the season of mists and mellow
:17:52. > :18:00.fruitfulness. It is also rugby test matches. Scotland is against Japan
:18:01. > :18:06.tomorrow. Both teams think it will be much closer this time round.
:18:07. > :18:13.Thankfully there was no sign today of the parasites that are attacking
:18:14. > :18:21.the pitch. Not really a shock given they are microscopic. No one wants a
:18:22. > :18:27.shop around here. It has been very difficult. Each team has been
:18:28. > :18:33.getting better and better with great results but it matters what we do.
:18:34. > :18:44.The last text match against Japan saw a record pothole. A lot has
:18:45. > :18:49.changed though. Japan are one of the most improved sides in world rugby.
:18:50. > :18:56.They beat Wales earlier this year. And here at Murrayfield they are
:18:57. > :19:01.here. To just make up the numbers. We have a top league in Japan at the
:19:02. > :19:06.moment. We have a lot of professional players and we need to
:19:07. > :19:12.see where we are in regards to the European teams. So much to play for
:19:13. > :19:20.tomorrow especially for home players. Just keep your head down
:19:21. > :19:25.and get on with the job. Keeping the head down is commendable. Hanging it
:19:26. > :19:29.in shame at the final whistle tomorrow has to be avoided. You can
:19:30. > :19:38.watch the match live on BBC Two Scotland tomorrow afternoon. There
:19:39. > :19:45.is another form of rugby played with 13 men rather than 15 per team. It's
:19:46. > :19:48.rugby league. And the World Cup is on at the moment in England and
:19:49. > :19:51.Wales. And Scotland, nicknamed the Bravehearts, are on the brink of
:19:52. > :20:02.reaching the quarterfinals after a 22 points to eight win over the USA.
:20:03. > :20:06.The Scottish team is more Scottish. Qualifying at the edge of
:20:07. > :20:23.eligibility through Scots heritage but they have done the nation proud.
:20:24. > :20:27.The win over the USA means the Scots are unbeaten. Winning a thriller
:20:28. > :20:37.against Tonga and roaring dramatically with Italy. Fantastic.
:20:38. > :20:42.I am so proud, it is unbelievable. We were written off and they have
:20:43. > :20:49.shown time and time again what fantastic players they are. If Italy
:20:50. > :20:57.beat Tonga on Sunday, the Scots will be out. I will not mention Gloria's
:20:58. > :21:08.failure. All I will say is B for the brave hearts.
:21:09. > :21:14.Hugh Burnley ends have been charged by the Scottish FA for allegedly
:21:15. > :21:26.threatening Neil Lennon in a tweet. Vines says the comments were
:21:27. > :21:34.light-hearted. Assistant boss Jimmy Nicholl will be in charge of Hibs
:21:35. > :21:36.tomorrow against Inverness. He will not answer questions of the
:21:37. > :21:45.possibility of Inverness manager taking charge. He has really
:21:46. > :21:49.progressed Inverness as a club soap that is why he is being talked about
:21:50. > :22:03.as the manager to be brought in here.
:22:04. > :22:20.By the games I will be at my peak. It is important for me to qualify.
:22:21. > :22:27.There are more sports stories plus all the latest on BBC sports
:22:28. > :22:34.Scotland's website. That is all from me.
:22:35. > :22:37.One of the oldest running art exhibitions in Scotland will this
:22:38. > :22:41.week return to its historical home. For the first time in a decade the
:22:42. > :22:45.RGI - the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts - will take place in
:22:46. > :22:48.Glasgow's McLellan Galleries. It's hoped the event will lead to the
:22:49. > :22:51.reopening of what was city's first purpose built art gallery. Our arts
:22:52. > :23:02.correspondent Pauline McLean reports.
:23:03. > :23:06.The works may be contemporary but this is one of the country 's most
:23:07. > :23:14.historic art show is offering members and invited artists a chance
:23:15. > :23:19.to show off their art. It has always thought of as a People's exhibition.
:23:20. > :23:29.Individually for artistplu-macro it is a real coup to have your work put
:23:30. > :23:38.on the walls here. 2000 artists admitted work this year, just a
:23:39. > :23:43.quarter make it to the exhibition. My wife is exhibiting here as well.
:23:44. > :23:52.If you get your picture hung in a frame spot, great. Since it began in
:23:53. > :23:58.1861, the show has been staged in the McLellan Galleries. But for the
:23:59. > :24:06.past decade, the galleries have been out of action and use only
:24:07. > :24:12.sporadically. The RGI has spent ?100,000 repairing and repainting.
:24:13. > :24:17.The city is maintaining them but there is no vision for the galleries
:24:18. > :24:25.and this is where Glasgow 's collection began. Archibald
:24:26. > :24:33.Maclennan was the first to make a big request for the city. It is only
:24:34. > :24:38.in the last 20 years that we have gone downhill. Glasgow city council
:24:39. > :24:43.says it is more than aware of the distinguished history of the
:24:44. > :24:48.galleries and is talking to a number of cultural organisations. It hopes
:24:49. > :24:55.a recent feasibility study will also help look towards the long-term of
:24:56. > :25:06.this place. Now the weather forecast. It is
:25:07. > :25:10.fairly cold and frosty tonight. A very cold November night for many.
:25:11. > :25:18.Still a number of showers across western parts of the country. Fairly
:25:19. > :25:24.slow moving as the winds fall out but further east, generally dry and
:25:25. > :25:32.clear. We could see an ice issue on untreated roads. A cold start
:25:33. > :25:37.tomorrow. Some early mist and fog around but that should burn away by
:25:38. > :25:44.mid-morning and then it is a day of sunshine and showers. By mid
:25:45. > :25:51.afternoon, around three o'clock, temperature wise six, seven
:25:52. > :25:57.Celsius. Showers are slow moving with the risk of hail and thunder.
:25:58. > :26:04.Further east, dry and bright but still cold. Still frequent showers
:26:05. > :26:10.across Western Isles and from the Northern Isles. Across the North
:26:11. > :26:18.West the showers will be falling as snow. Winds fairly light from the
:26:19. > :26:24.north-west. Across eastern Rangers, set fair. Plenty of sunshine. Mist
:26:25. > :26:43.and fog at first but then sunshine in the afternoon. The rest of the
:26:44. > :26:50.afternoon into the evening, most of the showers confined to the north
:26:51. > :26:59.and west coast. A cold night Saturday to Sunday. A ridge of high
:27:00. > :27:05.pressure overhead keeping the rain at bay. Good news for remembrance
:27:06. > :27:13.Sunday. Dry, bright but cold. Plenty of crisp autumn sunshine. So for
:27:14. > :27:18.remembrance Sunday, it will be a cold start. Maybe just three or four
:27:19. > :27:26.degrees at eight or nine in the morning. Rain clears through to
:27:27. > :27:31.leave blustery showers in the afternoon. Tonight, cold and
:27:32. > :27:35.frosty, the risk of ice. Now, a reminder of tonight's main
