Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. The son of this woman appears in court

:00:18.:00:24.

accused of battering his mother to death and burying her dismembered

:00:25.:00:28.

body. The MSP whose daughter died from an

:00:29.:00:32.

eating disorder calls for shops to use bigger mannequins.

:00:33.:00:41.

Also tonight. The CONE-trovesy. Tonight, a protest group to Save the

:00:42.:00:45.

Cone gathers at the Duke of Wellington statute in Glasgow as

:00:46.:00:49.

confusion reigns over what the Council is planning.

:00:50.:00:54.

If you what passed the statue and there is not a code on it, you think

:00:55.:01:02.

something is wrong. -- cone. Terry Butcher arrives at Easter Road

:01:03.:01:09.

but says it was no easy decision to leave Inverness Caley Thistle.

:01:10.:01:14.

And the play marking 75 years since the Kindertransport mission which

:01:15.:01:18.

rescued thousands of Jewish children from the Nazis.

:01:19.:01:21.

A man accused of beating his mother to death and then burying her

:01:22.:01:26.

dismembered body in an Edinburgh beauty spot has appeared in court.

:01:27.:01:29.

66-year-old Philomena Dunleavy's remains were found on Corstorphine

:01:30.:01:34.

Hill in May, sparking a major police investigation. Today, her son James

:01:35.:01:38.

Dunleavy, who's 39, appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh charged with

:01:39.:01:42.

her murder. Lisa Summers reports. It was a major murder enquiry and

:01:43.:01:48.

police in Edinburgh -- murder enquiry. It was only after issuing

:01:49.:01:57.

an e-fit photograph that police discovered that she was Philomena

:01:58.:02:01.

Dunleavy from Dublin. Today was the first day we learned the details of

:02:02.:02:07.

the charges against James Dunleavy. He is accused of attacking his

:02:08.:02:12.

mother and killing her at a flat in Green Road -- bold green road. He

:02:13.:02:23.

put her dismembered body in a Suitcase and to get to Corstorphine

:02:24.:02:27.

Hill. This flat is where James Dunleavy lived. He is now being held

:02:28.:02:33.

in the State Hospital at Carstairs. The charges against him is that he

:02:34.:02:38.

disposed of his mother's mobile phone. In court, he pled not guilty

:02:39.:02:46.

to the charges. His lawyer said they were two issues central to the case,

:02:47.:02:51.

charge of murdering his mother, which he denies, but also his mental

:02:52.:02:58.

health. The Scottish Government is donating

:02:59.:03:02.

?600,000 to help the victims of the typhoon in the Philippines. The

:03:03.:03:06.

money is being given to the Disasters Emergency Committee appeal

:03:07.:03:08.

which was launched today. Aileen Clarke reports.

:03:09.:03:13.

I will tell them. In Glasgow, relief for this woman

:03:14.:03:20.

that her two sons are safe. But others in the family have been

:03:21.:03:26.

bracing for days -- have been missing. She has had no news of the

:03:27.:03:32.

boys grandparents. The house is already gone. There are no

:03:33.:03:43.

communications. It is a small house, like a hut. They only have a

:03:44.:03:52.

Woodhouse. -- a wooden house. At Glasgow's city Chambers, the

:03:53.:03:58.

Disasters Emergency Committee held a Scottish launch for the appeal. The

:03:59.:04:02.

Typhoon has been described as the worst storm ever to hit landfall.

:04:03.:04:09.

The charities say they need a huge injection of tache to get essential

:04:10.:04:16.

supplies to the people affected. -- a huge injection of money. 90% of

:04:17.:04:25.

areas have no buildings standing. We want to respond as quickly as

:04:26.:04:29.

possible. The Scottish government has donated ?600,000 to the appeal

:04:30.:04:34.

fund. As Christmas preparations got underway, they hoped that people

:04:35.:04:40.

would remember those in the Philippines who have been left

:04:41.:04:49.

without the basics of life. Should shops display their clothes

:04:50.:04:53.

on larger mannequins to help prevent eating disorders? An MSP who lost

:04:54.:04:56.

his daughter to anorexia tonight called on fashion retailers to

:04:57.:05:00.

follow the example of one high street chain and have more realistic

:05:01.:05:03.

dummies. Our health correspondent Eleanor Bradford reports.

:05:04.:05:10.

In the 1950s, movie stars were more likely to be a size 12 and a size

:05:11.:05:26.

zero. Female clothes dummies are usually a size eight or ten. Except

:05:27.:05:33.

at Debenhams we are, over the coming months, they will be introducing

:05:34.:05:38.

size 16 mannequins. An MSP is calling on more fashion retailers to

:05:39.:05:42.

follow their example. Caroline Robertson died two years ago as a

:05:43.:05:57.

result of anorexia. I remember very well that they are unrealistic, they

:05:58.:06:03.

do not bear any relationship to people's sizes. This anorexia

:06:04.:06:11.

specialist is in no doubt between the link -- about the link. Begin

:06:12.:06:18.

people a false image that in order to be worthy and attractive, they

:06:19.:06:23.

have to be of an increasingly smaller clothes size and shape. That

:06:24.:06:27.

has fuelled the emergence of increasing numbers of eating

:06:28.:06:35.

disorder patients. I could not find anyone against the idea here. It can

:06:36.:06:40.

be depressing when you go shopping and everything is for skinny girls.

:06:41.:06:46.

They are all a size eight or six. It gives people the wrong impression.

:06:47.:06:52.

Do you think women are under too much pressure to be thin? Yes. A lot

:06:53.:06:56.

of these mannequins are underweight. It is unlikely a debate

:06:57.:07:03.

in Parliament will alter the way that most stories display their

:07:04.:07:08.

wares, but well then dummies sell close, they will probably stay.

:07:09.:07:18.

You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the

:07:19.:07:22.

programme. One of Scotland's most notorious prisons prepares to close

:07:23.:07:26.

its doors for the last time. In sport. A rallying cry from the

:07:27.:07:30.

Scotland football camp - if you think you are good enough, give us a

:07:31.:07:34.

call. And Terry Butcher says the decision

:07:35.:07:38.

to leave Caley Thistle and join Hibs was the most difficult of his

:07:39.:07:41.

managerial career. Now, it's a story about a statue with a traffic cone

:07:42.:07:46.

on its head, but unbelievably the saga of the Duke of Wellington's

:07:47.:07:49.

irreverent head-gear has caused a rift within Scotland's biggest local

:07:50.:07:53.

authority and an outcry from members of the public. Live now to Catriona

:07:54.:07:58.

Renton who can bring us up to date with Cone-gate.

:07:59.:08:02.

You can see this evening that there is no cone on top of the Duke of

:08:03.:08:12.

Wellington's head this morning. It has emerged that there is an

:08:13.:08:16.

enormous amount of support to keep the cone and there was a

:08:17.:08:31.

demonstration here this evening. As legend has it, around 30 years ago,

:08:32.:08:36.

a drunken student climbed up and put a cone on the Duke of Wellington's

:08:37.:08:43.

head. Since then, it has become tradition. It has its own Wikipedia

:08:44.:08:48.

page and is in the Lonely Planet list of must see sights. It's an

:08:49.:08:54.

image synonymous with Glasgow. But the council's proposal to raise the

:08:55.:08:58.

plinth to stop this proved controversial. As word got out,

:08:59.:09:02.

there was a social media explosion. Thousands signed an online petition,

:09:03.:09:06.

Facebook organised a rally and the cone got its own Twitter account.

:09:07.:09:12.

This former lord provost was so proud of the cone, his staff had a

:09:13.:09:20.

picture drawn of him. When we were launching Glasgow Scotland with

:09:21.:09:24.

style, we came down to launch it, but the cone was not there. I said I

:09:25.:09:30.

wouldn't do if the cone was not on. It gets hits all over the place,

:09:31.:09:35.

people talk about it all over the world. The council put out a

:09:36.:09:47.

statement... The leader of the council ordered that the planning

:09:48.:09:55.

application be withdrawn. In the short-term, we are removing the

:09:56.:10:00.

report and looking at other options for investment in the statue and

:10:01.:10:04.

addressing topics saved it. This story has captured the public was

:10:05.:10:09.

back imagining since so much that this evening there was a party, its

:10:10.:10:17.

message was to keep the cone. If you walk past the statue and that is not

:10:18.:10:23.

our cone on it, you think there is something wrong. I want to keep it

:10:24.:10:28.

because I have a sense of humour. Give it protected status. Another

:10:29.:10:35.

twist this evening. The council tell me that when they resubmit their

:10:36.:10:38.

planning application, they will definitely not be asking to raise

:10:39.:10:42.

the plans. They will continue to remove the cone. To be conetinued.

:10:43.:11:04.

Edinburgh is set to scrap the licensing of saunas, ending decades

:11:05.:11:08.

of a more tolerant approach to the sex trade. The move, which is due to

:11:09.:11:13.

be approved at the end of this week, has drawn criticism from those

:11:14.:11:16.

working to protect prostitutes. Morag Kinniburgh reports.

:11:17.:11:19.

For 30 years, Edinburgh has operated a licensing system for saunas which

:11:20.:11:22.

has given sex workers greater protection. But recent police raids

:11:23.:11:26.

has led to a rethink on this more tolerant approach to prostitution.

:11:27.:11:29.

Now the council is planning to scrap the system. I am furious that they

:11:30.:11:35.

should do this. Edinburgh is held up as an example, not just in the UK,

:11:36.:11:43.

but across the world. People look to Edinburgh and see, there is a city

:11:44.:11:49.

that has faced up and managed its prostitution. Campaigners fear it

:11:50.:11:57.

will make prostitution more dangerous. Police deny they are on

:11:58.:12:06.

some kind of moral crusade. I have no issue with Edinburgh City

:12:07.:12:12.

Council's approach to saunas. None at all. I did not come into office

:12:13.:12:19.

with a view on sorting this out and making everywhere like Glasgow. If

:12:20.:12:26.

councils want to operate a different system, they can.

:12:27.:12:29.

Has this more tolerant approach become too toxic? Beaver license on

:12:30.:12:42.

the basis that nothing illegal was going on. -- they were licensed.

:12:43.:12:56.

Public consultation is due to take place next week.

:12:57.:13:02.

Other stories from across Scotland this Tuesday. Donald Trump's battle

:13:03.:13:13.

against plans for an offshore wind farm near his Aberdeenshire golf

:13:14.:13:16.

resort has begun at the Court of Session. The American tycoon is

:13:17.:13:20.

attempting to overturn the Scottish Government's decision to approve the

:13:21.:13:22.

11-turbine project. Scotland's year starts here is the

:13:23.:13:26.

slogan for this year's Hogmanay Festival in Edinburgh. A series of

:13:27.:13:30.

themed festivities have been planned around 2014 to mark the start of a

:13:31.:13:35.

year that will see the country play host the Commonwealth Games, the

:13:36.:13:39.

Ryder Cup and the MTV awards. Tens of thousands of people are

:13:40.:13:43.

expected in the capital for the events which are now in their 21st

:13:44.:13:45.

year. Millions of people see it. Two

:13:46.:13:49.

thirds of our audience is from outside Scotland. It is a

:13:50.:13:52.

cosmopolitan event. A very special thing for Scotland.

:13:53.:13:56.

A new Loganair pilot on Orkney's inter-island service has entered the

:13:57.:14:00.

record books. Rebecca Simpson has become the first female pilot to fly

:14:01.:14:04.

the world's shortest scheduled route from Papa Westray to Westray which

:14:05.:14:09.

is only two minutes long from runway to runway.

:14:10.:14:15.

It is busy. There is a lot to do in a short space of time, but there is

:14:16.:14:22.

a great sense of pride and achievement.

:14:23.:14:25.

Two bronze sculptures on show in Edinburgh's Botanic Gardens have

:14:26.:14:27.

been acquired by the National Galleries of Scotland. The works by

:14:28.:14:31.

Dame Barbara Hepworth have been there for almost 40 years. They've

:14:32.:14:36.

been accepted by the nation from her estate in lieu of inheritance tax.

:14:37.:14:41.

And there are more stories from your area and all the latest news and

:14:42.:14:51.

analysis on BBC Scotland's website. Peterhead Prison closes its doors

:14:52.:14:58.

for the final time next month. It has housed some of the country 's

:14:59.:15:01.

most dangerous and violent prisoners.

:15:02.:15:12.

Stuart Campbell, visitor. This Victorian fortress has come to the

:15:13.:15:15.

end of its life. It bears the scars of violent times. In 1986 inmates

:15:16.:15:21.

took over the jail. It was a dark time. Peterhead at that time managed

:15:22.:15:32.

difficult, disruptive listeners, it was a difficult time for staff, on

:15:33.:15:37.

the back of a major incident, prisoners wanted violence. It wasn't

:15:38.:15:42.

long before another violent flare-up. Jackie Stewart was held

:15:43.:15:52.

hostage for five days. It destroyed a lot of good men.

:15:53.:15:57.

The SAS but the siege to an explosive end. -- brought the

:15:58.:16:04.

siege. This man was first sent to Peterhead in the 1960s. He spent

:16:05.:16:09.

nearly 30 years of his life there. I met the elite of the underworld,

:16:10.:16:19.

and what I learned from them is nobody 's business, other than

:16:20.:16:29.

mine. That is how we look at it. Another chapter when Peterhead

:16:30.:16:36.

becomes the jail for sex offenders. For the first time ever that you had

:16:37.:16:43.

a jail full of sex offenders. Because we didn't have any problems

:16:44.:16:47.

from other prisoners, there weren't any enemies, no fear for their life,

:16:48.:16:51.

it was sensible for us to start making a community jail where the

:16:52.:16:56.

norm was to just address your offending behaviour. They are now --

:16:57.:17:04.

the cells are now providing accommodation for short-term

:17:05.:17:08.

business. Another chapter is about to begin just over the wall.

:17:09.:17:14.

HMP Grampian opens in March and Peterhead jail will be reduced to

:17:15.:17:21.

dust. The Queens baton Relay has arrived

:17:22.:17:24.

in Papa New Guinea as it continues its journey around the Commonwealth

:17:25.:17:26.

ahead of next year 's games. On its Commonwealth journey the

:17:27.:17:44.

Queen's battle will be greeted by cultures and communities as diverse

:17:45.:17:48.

as the planet can offer. The bat and global communities it represents

:17:49.:17:53.

what connects this Relay to the high-tech cities like Kuala Lumpur

:17:54.:17:56.

and Singapore. We are not allowed past until the village chief has

:17:57.:18:05.

seen the bat on, accepted it and we are allowed to carry on free. It is

:18:06.:18:10.

a wonderful welcome, but also quite intimidating. I was struck by how

:18:11.:18:22.

heartfelt this reception was. I feel so happy. Wonderful. Once in a

:18:23.:18:28.

lifetime thing to touch the Queen's battle on. I have seen lots of links

:18:29.:18:34.

to animals and birds, is there a connection between the wildlife and

:18:35.:18:39.

people? Exactly. The environment is our life. It is not surprising

:18:40.:18:43.

nature is at the heart of this culture. Thanks to geography and

:18:44.:18:49.

evolution Papa New Guinea is one of the most bio diverse areas in the

:18:50.:18:53.

Commonwealth. The natural world is connected to the beliefs. In Papa

:18:54.:19:00.

work New Guinea the natural world is a true treasure trove. It is best

:19:01.:19:05.

known for the beautiful birds of paradise, they are even on the

:19:06.:19:09.

national flag, but so much is unknown. Hundreds of new species,

:19:10.:19:12.

animals are discovered in the last couple of decades. This nature park

:19:13.:19:20.

runs conservation projects. Why has it got such a unique story in terms

:19:21.:19:26.

of biodiversity? Because of the mountain ranges, they are so

:19:27.:19:29.

diverse, they are right and Ireland. Each mountain range you will find

:19:30.:19:37.

new species. It has a lot to protect, it is incredibly rich in

:19:38.:19:44.

wildlife and traditional culture. On this trip I have already experienced

:19:45.:19:50.

a huge range of lifestyles, this is a reminder that they are all part of

:19:51.:19:53.

one community, the community of the Commonwealth.

:19:54.:20:02.

He gets about, that boy. The big wide world of sport.

:20:03.:20:07.

Terry Butcher says the decision to leave Caley Thistle and join Hibs

:20:08.:20:11.

was the most difficult of his managerial career. Along with his

:20:12.:20:17.

assistant Maurice Malpas have agreed three-year deals with the Easter

:20:18.:20:23.

Road club. Hands up if you are a Hebburn Ian --

:20:24.:20:34.

Hebburn Ian fan? When you look at what they offer, the only thing they

:20:35.:20:44.

are missing is the team. We build up teams. It is a managerial career

:20:45.:20:51.

that began in 1990, and he moved to Sunderland, a long spell out of the

:20:52.:20:53.

game before returning to spend four years at Motherwell, moved to Sydney

:20:54.:20:59.

Australia, and Brentford didn't last too long. George Burley made him

:21:00.:21:03.

assistant Scotland coach and journalist and also took on the

:21:04.:21:06.

reins at Caley Thistle where he took the club to second top spot in the

:21:07.:21:12.

premiership making him the outstanding candidate for the job.

:21:13.:21:15.

He will galvanise everybody, motivate people, and experienced

:21:16.:21:23.

manager, has experienced games in the dugout in Inverness, huge

:21:24.:21:28.

passion for the game, knowledge. The team have lost their last four

:21:29.:21:31.

matches without scoring a goal, but she has one request for the Easter

:21:32.:21:37.

Road faithful -- but Terry Butcher. We will look at who we can bring in

:21:38.:21:44.

but I am looking at the players to say there is no need to bring

:21:45.:21:47.

anybody because we are doing well. He begins flying the flag a week on

:21:48.:21:51.

Saturday in Paisley against Saint Mirren.

:21:52.:21:55.

The Scotland assistant manager Mark McGhee says maintaining the momentum

:21:56.:22:00.

with a win over the USA on Friday is the site 's number one priority.

:22:01.:22:05.

Recent results have been encouraging including this defeat of Croatia at

:22:06.:22:09.

Hampden. Scotland take on the USA and Norway in friendly matches and

:22:10.:22:13.

the search for eligible players and fresh talent continues.

:22:14.:22:20.

We hope that if there are any Scottish players out there we don't

:22:21.:22:23.

know about please get in touch. Your big chance.

:22:24.:22:27.

Let's have a look at what else is happening across Scottish sport.

:22:28.:22:36.

Scotland have already celebrated victory over the USA this week, they

:22:37.:22:44.

had a seven wicket victory over the United States in Dubai in a warm up

:22:45.:22:49.

for the world 2020 qualifiers. Venues and kick-off times for the

:22:50.:22:52.

league cup semifinals have been confirmed.

:22:53.:23:02.

The head coach of Glasgow city says qualifying for the last eight of the

:23:03.:23:06.

Champions League is still possible. They trail Arsenal 3-0 from the

:23:07.:23:13.

first leg but putting on the best performance tomorrow night is his

:23:14.:23:16.

first target. You have to do far better with the ball, maintain it

:23:17.:23:22.

far better than we did. Causing problems at the top end. The very

:23:23.:23:27.

resolute and make sure we put in a full 90 minutes of hard work.

:23:28.:23:33.

Mark Scott has been ruled out of the remainder of the autumn test. He

:23:34.:23:37.

fractured a bone in his hand in the clash against Japan and will be out

:23:38.:23:40.

for six weeks but the good news is he doesn't require surgery.

:23:41.:23:44.

There is more on all these sports stories plus all the latest news on

:23:45.:23:53.

the website. That is all of your Tuesday sport.

:23:54.:24:00.

It is 75 years since thousands of Jewish children arrived in the UK

:24:01.:24:04.

from occupied Europe. As part of a rescue mission, Kindertransport. To

:24:05.:24:09.

mark the anniversary of play is being staged in train stations

:24:10.:24:18.

across the country. The story began for many Jewish

:24:19.:24:24.

children in a station like this. Brought to Britain from Nazi

:24:25.:24:29.

occupied Europe with war looming time was of the essence. It was a

:24:30.:24:33.

story Jane and Ross Mirkin wanted to tell, how that other arrived in

:24:34.:24:39.

Britain. Although the Kindertransport is well documented

:24:40.:24:42.

it is interesting how few people know about the story, there is a

:24:43.:24:49.

personal reason for telling it, but also a reason in terms of thinking

:24:50.:24:52.

about the world we live in because there are still something like 1100

:24:53.:24:57.

unaccompanied children arriving in Britain every year. For Ingrid and

:24:58.:25:03.

Hendry it is also personal, just 15 when they left Germany, they settled

:25:04.:25:07.

in Glasgow, married and raised a family. There are some people who

:25:08.:25:13.

were refugees, who had such trauma they drew a line, that was then,

:25:14.:25:19.

this is now, they don't talk about it. But our grandchildren and

:25:20.:25:25.
