:00:00. > :00:17.London. That is all from
:00:18. > :00:24.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. The Scottish Government get ready to
:00:25. > :00:31.publish their detailed plans on independence with Alex Salmond
:00:32. > :00:34.urging voters to back his plan. This Celtic supporter, acquitted by
:00:35. > :00:38.an Amsterdam court, tells Reporting Scotland that the campaign for
:00:39. > :00:43.justice for the others convicted will continue.
:00:44. > :00:52.Obviously, for myself, I was delighted. But we should all have
:00:53. > :00:57.been found not guilty. Too frightened to return home. The
:00:58. > :01:01.Edinburgh mother and her three year old daughter rescued from a house
:01:02. > :01:04.fire that she says was started deliberately.
:01:05. > :01:12.And a windfall for the Scottish champions as a TV deal means
:01:13. > :01:15.European money could double. Good evening. The big questions over
:01:16. > :01:18.independence. By this time tomorrow, the Scottish
:01:19. > :01:23.Government says you, the public, will have all the answers you need
:01:24. > :01:27.to make your decision in the referendum next September. First
:01:28. > :01:31.Minister Alex Salmond will launch the White Paper setting out detailed
:01:32. > :01:36.plans on how an independent Scotland would work. But opponents say the
:01:37. > :01:41.White Paper will be judged on whether it tackles concerns over
:01:42. > :01:45.issues like the currency and longer term financial challenges. Brian
:01:46. > :01:47.Taylor's report contains flashing images.
:01:48. > :01:52.The print run starts, it could end in independence. Scottish ministers
:01:53. > :01:58.hope you will scrutinise their plans closely. They believe the ball you
:01:59. > :02:04.learn, the more likely you are to back independence. I think it will
:02:05. > :02:09.give people the information they have been asking for and download
:02:10. > :02:14.them to make up their minds. We will have the ability to take our own
:02:15. > :02:19.decisions in Scotland, with access to our own resources, to make our
:02:20. > :02:22.country prosperous. The Scottish Parliament already runs key areas
:02:23. > :02:26.like health and education. Tomorrow, you will learn details of the
:02:27. > :02:29.Scottish government offer on independence with new powers that
:02:30. > :02:33.would be transferred from Westminster. You will hear their
:02:34. > :02:37.plans on the economy, jobs and currency. What they have to say on
:02:38. > :02:41.pensions and wealthier. Their idea is for defence and for Scottish
:02:42. > :02:45.membership of the European union. Plus what they have to say about
:02:46. > :02:50.broadcasting. The Scottish Secretary visits and Edinburgh bakery. That
:02:51. > :02:59.will do nicely. But Alistair Michael -- Alistair Carmichael does not like
:03:00. > :03:04.the independence recipe. If you walk away from the United Kingdom, you
:03:05. > :03:11.walk away from the pound. This preferred option of a national list
:03:12. > :03:15.currency seems doomed. We know that Scotland will have enormous
:03:16. > :03:21.challenges in meeting the cost of future pension provision. What will
:03:22. > :03:26.be the cost to future generations of workers? And how much will always
:03:27. > :03:31.cost? Yes campaigners insist they can counter those claims and bought
:03:32. > :03:38.on the doorstep. In this contest for your votes, supporters of the union
:03:39. > :03:43.say the independence case does not add up. The people will decide.
:03:44. > :03:49.How likely is it tomorrow that those crucial questions will be answered?
:03:50. > :03:58.When it and other questions? Certainly not, but will address all
:03:59. > :04:07.the questions, I think it will. It falls, the document falls into five
:04:08. > :04:12.parts. I think that the Scottish government believe they will address
:04:13. > :04:16.those questions as far as reasonable people are concerned. They will
:04:17. > :04:21.pitch over the heads of their political rivals and go straight to
:04:22. > :04:26.the voters. Critics say that even with that done, it still does not
:04:27. > :04:30.add up. There are still elements like membership of the European
:04:31. > :04:36.union which will rely on goodwill elsewhere.
:04:37. > :04:40.It is looking like this will be a political launch like no other. We
:04:41. > :04:46.have even been told what the Deputy First Minister will be wearing.
:04:47. > :04:52.It is not customary zone for me to be giving fashion details, but we
:04:53. > :05:09.are told that Nicola Sturgeon will be wearing designer outfit of Harris
:05:10. > :05:13.Tweed with Ayrshire lace. More sartorial information and
:05:14. > :05:22.politics tomorrow in a day of extended coverage right across the
:05:23. > :05:29.BBC. There will be much more on all this tomorrow in a day of extended
:05:30. > :05:33.coverage across the BBC. Brian and I will be in Edinburgh for an hour
:05:34. > :05:37.long edition of Reporting Scotland. We'll be examining the contents of
:05:38. > :05:41.the White Paper and getting reaction. There will also be an
:05:42. > :05:45.extended edition of Newsnight Scotland over on BBC Two. And there
:05:46. > :05:49.will be extensive coverage on Radio Scotland on the John Beattie
:05:50. > :05:54.programme and on Newsdrive and we'll be streaming the launch of the
:05:55. > :05:57.document live on the BBC Scotland News website. Meanwhile, tonight,
:05:58. > :06:02.Newsnight is replaced by a special programme, Our Friends in the North
:06:03. > :06:05.presented by Alan Little will look at the experiences of small
:06:06. > :06:09.independent European countries like Norway and Sweden. That's on BBC Two
:06:10. > :06:12.Scotland from 10.30. The Catholic church in Scotland has
:06:13. > :06:17.published details of all allegations of abuse by priests in the past six
:06:18. > :06:22.years. It's also announced reviews of its procedures and of other cases
:06:23. > :06:26.of abuse dating back to 1947. The church says these will be carried
:06:27. > :06:29.out in a spirit of openness and transparency. Our Social Affairs
:06:30. > :06:31.Correspondent Reevel Alderson reports.
:06:32. > :06:35.It is the revelations by BBC Scotland of sexual and physical
:06:36. > :06:39.abuse at the Fort Augustus Abbey School which led to this latest
:06:40. > :06:43.action by the Scottish Catholic Church. It has prompted at least 50
:06:44. > :06:47.other people to come forward claiming they were victims of abuse
:06:48. > :06:52.by priests or church laity. This woman, appointed by the church, says
:06:53. > :06:56.that has been imported. There is a sadness there, but great power and
:06:57. > :07:00.healing can come from that because it gives individuals a voice. And
:07:01. > :07:04.that is incredibly powerful. The church has also announced three
:07:05. > :07:09.initiatives to tackle the problem of abuse. It has published an audit of
:07:10. > :07:14.abuse allegations detailing the type of abuse and who is alleged to have
:07:15. > :07:19.carried it out. It is a reviewing historic allegations and there is to
:07:20. > :07:30.be a review of the church's procedure is of handling the
:07:31. > :07:34.allegations. I would not have accepted this without the prior
:07:35. > :07:39.association, which the Catholic bishops gave me, that the
:07:40. > :07:44.recommendations which we make they will accept in full. This will be
:07:45. > :07:53.more than a paper exercise. David Walz was abused by monks. He is not
:07:54. > :08:00.convinced that counting the number of abuse allegations will make much
:08:01. > :08:06.difference. So what? There was ten, 50, 100, it is just a number. We
:08:07. > :08:12.need a factual report on events. And we need to know when things
:08:13. > :08:18.reported, by whom, to whom, what action Institute? The church says it
:08:19. > :08:28.is committed to providing justice and healing for abuse victims.
:08:29. > :08:35.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the
:08:36. > :08:39.programme. Why the NHS and a cancer charity
:08:40. > :08:45.have teamed up in Argyll and Bute. In sport, a new TV deal could mean a
:08:46. > :08:50.higher calibre of player for Champions Celtic with ?7 million
:08:51. > :08:54.more in the Parkhead purse. And if you can't beat them, join them.

:09:02. > :09:05.The Celtic fan acquitted last week of violence against Dutch police has
:09:06. > :09:10.spoken of what happened that night. John Quigley says he's glad that it
:09:11. > :09:16.is over for him but he will continue to lend his support to the five
:09:17. > :09:20.other fans who have been convicted and given jail sentences. He's been
:09:21. > :09:23.speaking exclusively to our reporter Catriona Renton.
:09:24. > :09:28.You can see me being arrested by two undercover policemen. I did not know
:09:29. > :09:32.they were a policeman at the time. 49-year-old John Quigley was in Dam
:09:33. > :09:37.Square before the champions league game with Ajax. At the time, it was
:09:38. > :09:40.very frightening. Before that, the police were playing football with
:09:41. > :09:45.us, taking photographs, laughing and joking. It turned within a matter of
:09:46. > :09:51.minutes. He walked free from court on Thursday. The other five were
:09:52. > :09:55.found guilty, given sentences ranging between one and two months,
:09:56. > :10:03.although they have been allowed home pending an appeal. The accused me of
:10:04. > :10:10.hitting a police officer on the head and on the mouth. The judge said on
:10:11. > :10:15.Thursday that such -- Dutch police used force, but not excessive in the
:10:16. > :10:21.circumstances. The police did not assault me at the time. I said that
:10:22. > :10:28.at the time. They never handcuffed me. They were fine with me. But
:10:29. > :10:35.seeing the footage after coming home, it was different for other
:10:36. > :10:40.people. John is calling for other people with footage to come forward.
:10:41. > :10:47.I have spoken to the other five, I have been untouched daily with them.
:10:48. > :10:52.They are just glad to be home. And they are looking for justice as
:10:53. > :10:57.well. Celtic say they have had more than 200 complaints to the club
:10:58. > :11:01.about that night and have a Dutch legal team working on 25 other
:11:02. > :11:05.cases. Tonight, and Labour MSP says he has written to the First Minister
:11:06. > :11:13.asking for an investigation into what happened. John is free, but the
:11:14. > :11:20.appeal, which could be a year away, is hanging over it the other men. I
:11:21. > :11:26.wish I could have been found guilty with the other men. I am delighted
:11:27. > :11:34.to be home and three, but we should all have been found not guilty.
:11:35. > :11:41.A woman whose three year old child was rescued from a house fire says
:11:42. > :11:45.she is frightened to return home as she believes the blaze was started
:11:46. > :11:50.deliberately. Police say they are treating the fire in the Granton
:11:51. > :11:54.area of Edinburgh as suspicious. Leanne Cottier says she has been
:11:55. > :11:57.receiving malicious threats through the post. Lisa Summers reports.
:11:58. > :12:02.The blackened doorway and the lingering smell of a fire. It is a
:12:03. > :12:07.reminder to Leanne Cottier that things could have been a lot worse.
:12:08. > :12:13.I was sleeping with my daughter. Next minute, I heard my door being
:12:14. > :12:18.cupped in. -- kicked in. There was smoke. I ran to the window and
:12:19. > :12:22.started shouting for help. My daughter was crying. Firefighters
:12:23. > :12:26.quickly arrived at the police on Sunday morning and put it out. Her
:12:27. > :12:31.son was staying elsewhere. She believes the fire may be connected
:12:32. > :12:36.to a series of threatening letters she had received. They are just
:12:37. > :12:44.sick, they are really sick. Stop doing it because it is not me they
:12:45. > :12:53.want. They are not well, I am not well, the children are damaged. She
:12:54. > :13:00.says she is scared to return home. My wee boy has been traumatised by
:13:01. > :13:10.this. He is shaking. I need to be be housed. I don't know... Police say
:13:11. > :13:18.they are treating the fire as suspicious and have asked anybody
:13:19. > :13:22.with information to contact them. Drinks giant Diageo has offered to
:13:23. > :13:27.sell the Whyte Mackay whisky business which it took on to expand
:13:28. > :13:31.into the Indian market. An office of fair trading study found that
:13:32. > :13:33.Diageo's aquisition of Whyte Mackay could reduce competition and
:13:34. > :13:36.raise prices. Glasgow Chamber of Commerce has
:13:37. > :13:40.questioned whether the Scottish government can be trusted to support
:13:41. > :13:43.the interests of Glasgow Airport having secured ownership of
:13:44. > :13:46.Prestwick Airport last Friday. Chief executive Stewart Patrick has
:13:47. > :13:49.written to Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon asking whether the
:13:50. > :13:53.Scottish government will support new routes at Glasgow or encourage them
:13:54. > :13:57.to use its Ayrshire rival. From today, benefit claimants in
:13:58. > :14:00.Inverness will become the first in Scotland to receive the new and
:14:01. > :14:04.controversial payment, Universal Credit. Under the scheme, a total of
:14:05. > :14:09.six existing benefits are being combined as part of the Government's
:14:10. > :14:23.attempts to reform the welfare system. The path of the introduction
:14:24. > :14:28.has been a rocky one in some of the areas where it has been tried.
:14:29. > :14:33.Failure is in the computer system have been blamed for delays and
:14:34. > :14:38.confusion. New job-seekers signing on in Inverness will be the first
:14:39. > :14:43.Scottish guinea pigs for a universal credit and will be responsible for
:14:44. > :14:48.managing their claims online. We have noticed a lot of clients do not
:14:49. > :14:53.have the technology in their house to manage the accounts online and do
:14:54. > :14:59.not have the understanding of the benefits system. Universal credit
:15:00. > :15:03.combines various payments. Claimants will receive one single payment once
:15:04. > :15:10.a month into their bank account. Housing benefit will no longer be
:15:11. > :15:27.paid directly to landlords. It will be a significant challenge. Our
:15:28. > :15:29.average rents are ?350 a month. It takes a couple of months for a
:15:30. > :15:32.significant steps to build up for someone. The Department for Work and
:15:33. > :15:34.Pensions insists the way the new benefits are structured will make it
:15:35. > :15:38.worthwhile for people to work, even in low-paid jobs. Despite the delays
:15:39. > :15:44.in implementation the Government defends the very tentative
:15:45. > :15:52.roll-out. This is a massive cultural transformation. We are testing it in
:15:53. > :15:57.every way. What really matters is how the operation system works and
:15:58. > :16:03.how people respond to it. There is unlikely to be a deluge of claims
:16:04. > :16:09.this week, but eventually universal credit will apply to 8 million
:16:10. > :16:16.households across the UK. Some other stories from across the
:16:17. > :16:20.country: A neurosurgeon who told a woman he had removed her brain
:16:21. > :16:26.tumour in an operation in Aberdeen when he had not has been struck off.
:16:27. > :16:31.He convinced his patient she did not need further surgery. The medical
:16:32. > :16:37.petitioners Tribunal service said he lied to colleagues and forged
:16:38. > :16:47.documents. In 2010 are legion had occurred, by which time it was
:16:48. > :16:53.inoperable. There has to be greater consultation about shared wind farms
:16:54. > :16:58.in the future. Four people had to be rescued from the roof of a block of
:16:59. > :17:02.flats after a fire in Perth high Street. Two were treated in hospital
:17:03. > :17:09.following the fire and an investigation into the cause is
:17:10. > :17:13.under way. The parents Council at an Inverness
:17:14. > :17:16.gallops school will not resign their positions as threatened. They said
:17:17. > :17:22.they would stand down at the Highland Council's handling of the
:17:23. > :17:27.appointment of a headteacher. The parent council now say they will
:17:28. > :17:31.remain in post. People who park inappropriately or for too long at
:17:32. > :17:36.Borders General Hospital where there is free parking will be hit in the
:17:37. > :17:42.pocket from today. Find will be issued to those who leave cars
:17:43. > :17:46.outside spaces, on curves or in ambulance bays. There are more
:17:47. > :17:54.stories from your area and all the latest news and analysis on the
:17:55. > :17:58.website. What do you do if you need end of life care and the nearest
:17:59. > :18:04.hospital is hundreds of miles away from family and friends? It is a
:18:05. > :18:09.problem facing those in rural areas like Argyll and Bute. Currently
:18:10. > :18:17.there are 800 people are in need of palliative care. The NHS and a local
:18:18. > :18:22.charity have joined forces. Argyll and Bute is home to some of the most
:18:23. > :18:27.breathtaking views in Scotland, but it is a that present plenty of
:18:28. > :18:32.challenges for those providing health care. 84% of people live in
:18:33. > :18:38.remote areas, hours from the nearest hospital, and that has meant a few
:18:39. > :18:43.people here have had the choice of dining at home when they reached the
:18:44. > :18:48.end of their lives. When somebody has two leave their community they
:18:49. > :18:52.can end up a very long way away. If somebody has two go into hospital
:18:53. > :18:58.from one of the islands, they may never get back to their home again.
:18:59. > :19:01.Today NHS Scotland and Marie Curie announced plans to introduce a
:19:02. > :19:08.nursing service that can visit people in their homes. Because of
:19:09. > :19:12.the size of Argyll and Bute is it is going to take more than a few nurses
:19:13. > :19:19.to bring palliative care to the people who needed in this area. They
:19:20. > :19:22.will also be training up care workers and families so they can get
:19:23. > :19:30.the very best care to people at the end of their life. This is a lodge
:19:31. > :19:32.in Helensburgh. Staff here are trained in palliative care which
:19:33. > :19:37.means residents are less likely to go into hospital when they reached
:19:38. > :19:44.the end of their lives. Once they get to know us it is like a big
:19:45. > :19:48.family. It is more homely here than in a hospital. It makes them feel
:19:49. > :19:54.safer and it is easier for families because they do not have to travel
:19:55. > :20:01.so far to see their loved ones. They can stay here if they are very ill.
:20:02. > :20:05.Three quarters of palliative care patients in Argyll and Bute say they
:20:06. > :20:11.want to die at home, but currently that happens to less than a quarter
:20:12. > :20:17.of them. It is hoped the new service will give people better choice in
:20:18. > :20:23.their final years. Let's get the sporting round-up.
:20:24. > :20:27.Good evening. The Celtic manager Neil Lennon says an increase in
:20:28. > :20:31.Champions League money would mean a higher calibre of player coming to
:20:32. > :20:37.the club. The Scottish champions could earn around ?7 million more
:20:38. > :20:44.once a new TV deal kicks in from 2015. What will the wider effects of
:20:45. > :20:48.such an increase be? European football is cherished at Celtic
:20:49. > :20:53.Park. The Champions League is back in town with AC Milan the visitors
:20:54. > :20:58.this week. But while success on the page in Europe translates to great
:20:59. > :21:03.riches, a change in the broadcasting landscape means those riches are
:21:04. > :21:08.about to increase further. A BT Sport steel to televise live
:21:09. > :21:13.European competition more than doubles TV revenue. Last season
:21:14. > :21:18.Celtic earned about ?22 million from the Champions League. About ?7
:21:19. > :21:28.million came from television money. Under the new deal that could be ?14
:21:29. > :21:30.million. That means a good Champions League season for the Scottish
:21:31. > :21:34.champions could earn them around ?30 million. It is a difference between
:21:35. > :21:40.buying one level of player and bringing in a new start? Yes, or
:21:41. > :21:45.adding a couple of players to the squad. You may not have the benefit
:21:46. > :21:50.of doing that if you were not in the Champions League. In the current
:21:51. > :21:55.climate it is important to us, it means a lot. It means a lot of money
:21:56. > :22:01.for Celtic could continued to dominate domestically. They remain
:22:02. > :22:06.unbeaten in the league. What will more European money do for Scottish
:22:07. > :22:12.football as a whole? It is the haves and the have-notss. Celtic
:22:13. > :22:15.will continue to get richer and it will not do anything at all for the
:22:16. > :22:22.other clubs and the gap will grow wider. Europa League qualifiers will
:22:23. > :22:28.also see an increase in money, but it will not compare favourably to
:22:29. > :22:34.the Champions League where the rich will continue to get richer. Could
:22:35. > :22:39.this be the final Formula one grid for Paul the rest. He is chasing his
:22:40. > :22:45.seat in the Force India car for next season, but now it looks like he
:22:46. > :22:55.will be replaced by Sergio Perez. Make money that the big-money prize
:22:56. > :23:02.for the weekend goes to the winner of the finale of the champions tour
:23:03. > :23:06.in Joe Hart. Scotland's women remain unbeaten at the curling
:23:07. > :23:12.Championships in Norway. They have beaten Denmark, Russia, Latvia and
:23:13. > :23:20.Germany. The Scottish open grand prix ended in a high as the mixed
:23:21. > :23:28.doubles title was won. The fans are also gearing up for Glasgow, 2014.
:23:29. > :23:31.Amy Regan was the top Scot at the northern European Championships in
:23:32. > :23:37.Lisbon. Scotland won silver in both the men's and women's team event.
:23:38. > :23:46.There are more sports stories 24 hours a day on BBC sport on the
:23:47. > :23:50.website. A Lish McColgan admits she is highly
:23:51. > :23:55.unlikely to win gold in the steeplechase at the Commonwealth
:23:56. > :24:01.Games. Even a second or third place may be beyond her. The event is
:24:02. > :24:10.likely to be dominated by Kenyans. They are the best over middle
:24:11. > :24:15.distances. Sharing her experiences of her recent training camp with the
:24:16. > :24:20.chairman of Scottish athletics. She is back from four weeks high
:24:21. > :24:25.altitude training in Africa. There is no Internet, there is limited
:24:26. > :24:34.electricity, so there are power cuts and cold showers. It is very
:24:35. > :24:37.limited. And there are positives. In my event in the steeplechase the
:24:38. > :24:42.Kenyan athletes are the best in the world and in order to try and
:24:43. > :24:45.compete with them I have to train there. If they train like that, you
:24:46. > :24:54.have to train with the best in the world to be at that level. She is
:24:55. > :24:58.intending to return to the same training camp early in the New Year,
:24:59. > :25:06.but will it have the desired effect in the Commonwealth Games year? I
:25:07. > :25:12.feel like if I was not in the top four I would be disappointed. I want
:25:13. > :25:18.to be fighting for a medal. For me to say I am going to win it, there
:25:19. > :25:23.is a very outside chance, but if I could get in amongst the medals, I
:25:24. > :25:31.would be happy with that. More of this might just be at order -- in
:25:32. > :25:34.order. Now it is the weather. It was barely above freezing today
:25:35. > :25:41.for some of us. Over the next couple of days it will change and it will
:25:42. > :25:46.be a bit milder. High pressure continues to dominate and it will be
:25:47. > :25:50.another chilly night. It will not be as cold as last night because we
:25:51. > :25:55.have got patchy cloud feeding in from the North West. Where the cloud
:25:56. > :26:01.breaks once again we will see some frost and patches of fog. But a very
:26:02. > :26:06.different story in the north where the wind picked up. Temperature is
:26:07. > :26:12.recovering to eight Celsius by the end of the night. Tomorrow any early
:26:13. > :26:16.morning for Will Claye, but the cloud will filter down and the
:26:17. > :26:20.outbreaks of rain with heavy bursts in the morning for the Northern
:26:21. > :26:27.Isles and the North West. In the afternoon it will be much lighter
:26:28. > :26:32.and more patchy. Orkney and Shetland should be largely dry, but extensive
:26:33. > :26:40.hill fog and misty conditions with temperatures up to ten or 11. In
:26:41. > :26:43.Aberdeen Shire we could see some brightness before dusk, but the rain
:26:44. > :26:50.will continue to affect the East Coast. It will not amount to much.
:26:51. > :26:55.The main thing you will notice is the milder feel. In Glasgow it will
:26:56. > :27:00.be a good seven degrees up on what we saw today. The rain tends to
:27:01. > :27:04.fizzle out towards the evening and with the cloud and the milder air we
:27:05. > :27:10.should stay frost free tomorrow night. On Wednesday the high
:27:11. > :27:13.pressure is just about holding on, although we will see this week
:27:14. > :27:17.whether France pushing in from the North West. We will see outbreaks of
:27:18. > :27:26.rain and the best of the brightness is in the East. Temperatures are
:27:27. > :27:29.into double figures for many of us. We are staying pretty mild on
:27:30. > :27:37.Thursday. The best of the brightness is in the East. Now the main news:
:27:38. > :27:41.The First Minister Alex Salmond will tomorrow launch of the White Paper
:27:42. > :27:45.setting out detailed plans on how an independent Scotland would work
:27:46. > :27:49.ahead of the referendum. The opponents say the White Paper will
:27:50. > :27:53.be judged on whether it tackles concerns over issues like the
:27:54. > :27:58.currency and longer term financial challenges. The couple suspected of
:27:59. > :28:05.holding three women as slaves for more than 30 years have been named.
:28:06. > :28:09.I will be back with the headlines at eight and the late bulletin just
:28:10. > :28:11.after the ten o'clock News. From everyone on the team, have a good
:28:12. > :28:17.evening.
