Tonight on Reporting Scotland: ALL nine victims of the Clutha

:00:17.:00:21.

helicopter crash have now been named and their bodies have been released

:00:22.:00:25.

to their families. Relatives of some of those who lost lives were amonst

:00:26.:00:29.

those to come to the scene again today as people continue to want to

:00:30.:00:33.

show their respect by laying floral tributes.

:00:34.:00:42.

I had to do something. I couldn't just let it pass unnoticed. So I

:00:43.:00:49.

felt driven to do it. The wreckage of the helicopter

:00:50.:00:53.

arrives at Farnborough, where accident experts will begin to

:00:54.:00:56.

examine it for clues as to what caused the crash. Also tonight: Good

:00:57.:01:04.

marks in English and maths, but could do better in science. And the

:01:05.:01:11.

diggers moving as Hampden begins its transformation from a national

:01:12.:01:13.

football stadium to an international athletics areana.

:01:14.:01:16.

Good evening. The bodies of all nine people killed in the Glasgow

:01:17.:01:21.

helicopter tragedy are being released to their families. Six

:01:22.:01:24.

people in the Clutha died along with three others inside the Police

:01:25.:01:27.

Scotland aircraft when it smashed through the roof of the pub on

:01:28.:01:34.

Friday night. Tonight, eleven people are still being treated in hospitals

:01:35.:01:38.

across the cities, three of them in intensive care. Within the past

:01:39.:01:48.

half-hour, the helicopter has arrived at Farnborough. As the

:01:49.:01:50.

investigation into what went so catastrophically wrong continues, a

:01:51.:01:53.

special fund's been launched to help families and survivors. Tributes

:01:54.:01:56.

have been paid to those killed, the injured and their rescuers by

:01:57.:01:58.

ordinary Glaswegians, politicians and the city's own Billy Connolly.

:01:59.:02:02.

In a moment we'll hear from our reporters near to the crash site and

:02:03.:02:05.

at the Glasgow helipad, but first here's our home affairs

:02:06.:02:09.

correspondent, Reevel Alderson. The Clutha Vaults is now being

:02:10.:02:13.

surveyed by Glasgow City Council to make it safe. It was full last

:02:14.:02:18.

Friday night. Nine people died when the police helicopter crashed into

:02:19.:02:22.

the roof. The final four victims have now been named. They were

:02:23.:02:26.

Robert Jenkins from East Kilbride, Colin Gibson from air, Mark O pray

:02:27.:02:34.

from East Kilbride and John McGarrigle from Cumbernauld. Another

:02:35.:02:42.

five people, including the three on board the helicopter, have also

:02:43.:02:47.

died. Fire crews have confirmed there were no further fatalities.

:02:48.:02:51.

With the removal of the helicopter to be examined by investigators, the

:02:52.:02:55.

focus in Glasgow has returned to those killed and injured in the

:02:56.:02:59.

accident. One of those treated in hospital for minor injuries was Ian

:03:00.:03:02.

Kelly who had been standing by the door with a friend when the

:03:03.:03:07.

helicopter crashed into the roof. I remember the blast, the tremendous

:03:08.:03:11.

noise. And then we were on the ground. There was no sensation of

:03:12.:03:18.

actually moving. There must have been a tremendous force, but I

:03:19.:03:24.

wasn't aware of it. I just found myself outside on the ground. The

:03:25.:03:29.

pub is busy on a Friday night. Last week it was packed, and Mario

:03:30.:03:36.

couldn't sit in his usual seat, directly underneath where the

:03:37.:03:41.

aircraft impacted. He was knocked to the ground, injuring his hand and

:03:42.:03:46.

head. It doesn't go away. I just know how lucky I am to be able to

:03:47.:03:53.

talk to you guys and talk to people that I care about. If I had been sat

:03:54.:03:58.

in my usual spot, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Because

:03:59.:04:08.

nobody in that bit has... Both men are grateful for the prompt

:04:09.:04:13.

and efficient actions of the emergency services. I know that they

:04:14.:04:18.

train for these circumstances, but to be actually faced with it, it was

:04:19.:04:23.

all very controlled, very supportive. Now that the rescue

:04:24.:04:28.

phase is over, the investigation is under way, and survivors and

:04:29.:04:30.

bereaved relatives have one question. How did it happen?

:04:31.:04:41.

We can cross now to Aileen Clarke who is near the crash site for us.

:04:42.:04:48.

Work continues on the crash site tonight, work to make the building

:04:49.:04:52.

safe for investigators to continue their work to try to gather any clue

:04:53.:04:56.

they can as to why the helicopter fell out of the sky. But today has

:04:57.:05:03.

been a day of people paying personal tributes to those who died. Constant

:05:04.:05:07.

streams of people coming to lay flowers, and I think it has taken a

:05:08.:05:12.

few days for the enormity of what has happened here to really sink in,

:05:13.:05:17.

because today I have seen more flowers laid than in all the days up

:05:18.:05:21.

to this point, so many that if you come with me here, you will see that

:05:22.:05:26.

they have been moved to just stand by the river here, and that is where

:05:27.:05:31.

they will remain. And when the road opens outside the pub, the tributes

:05:32.:05:36.

can stay. Even tonight, on a terrible night of rain like this,

:05:37.:05:40.

people are still coming and still laying flowers and paying their

:05:41.:05:43.

respects. This morning, the family of Robert

:05:44.:05:48.

Jenkins came to lay their flowers. He was named last night as one of

:05:49.:05:53.

those who died. They spent a few moments reading the messages of

:05:54.:05:55.

comfort and support left by hundreds of ordinary people moved by this

:05:56.:06:02.

extraordinary tragedy. Others who came bearing flowers also bought

:06:03.:06:11.

heavy hearts for friends lost. He was a lovely boy. One of life's

:06:12.:06:19.

best. Also bringing tributes today, the Deputy Prime Minister and

:06:20.:06:23.

Scottish Secretary. Music was always on offer at the Clutha pub,

:06:24.:06:30.

reflected in the tributes. And by Billy Connolly who himself played

:06:31.:06:33.

there, he came to express his respects. I feel the same as

:06:34.:06:38.

everyone else, it is not quite the same as it was yesterday. It is an

:06:39.:06:43.

extraordinary affair. And I had to do something. I couldn't just let it

:06:44.:06:49.

pass unnoticed. So I thought driven to do it. As the rescue and then

:06:50.:07:00.

recovery operation unfolded, throughout, the bright light of the

:07:01.:07:03.

city's Central Mosque lit up the sky line just beyond. We are here to

:07:04.:07:07.

share our grief with all the families and victims and those

:07:08.:07:14.

injured. We offer our services and open our doors at the mosque for

:07:15.:07:19.

those who want to come. For many reasons and none, people have felt

:07:20.:07:24.

the need to come here. I just wanted to come to show my respects. I just

:07:25.:07:30.

wanted to pay my respects, and that is about it. That is all you can do.

:07:31.:07:38.

It wasn't just hear that tributes were being paid. Over at Holyrood

:07:39.:07:43.

today in the Scottish Parliament, party leaders paid their own

:07:44.:07:48.

tributes. And much was made of the particular spirit of this city.

:07:49.:07:55.

Brian Taylor reports. Acting for us all, Holyrood's

:07:56.:08:01.

presiding officer signed the book of condolence in Parliament. She made

:08:02.:08:09.

tribute to the courage of the emergency services. And it was

:08:10.:08:13.

announced that the Scottish government will match the funding

:08:14.:08:15.

from Glasgow City Council to help the affected families. But this was

:08:16.:08:19.

about sympathy and solidarity, not just material support. It is the

:08:20.:08:23.

people of Glasgow who will be the way, just as they did on Friday

:08:24.:08:28.

night. It was a black day for Glasgow and for Scotland, but we can

:08:29.:08:37.

take heart in the exemplar response of our emergency services. We have

:08:38.:08:42.

all been inspired by the response of Glaswegians to come to the aid of

:08:43.:08:49.

fellow Glaswegians. Friday night was a night when the frail state of

:08:50.:08:54.

humanity shocked us, and made us humble, even proud. Nobody knows how

:08:55.:09:00.

they will react when faced with such an unimaginable scene. In Scotland,

:09:01.:09:06.

we pulled together. In the saddest of situations, we have seen the very

:09:07.:09:09.

best of the people of Glasgow. Courage, compassion, character. We

:09:10.:09:14.

will be all the more aware of our vulnerability and how much we value

:09:15.:09:18.

one another. There will be questions, but later. For now, MSPs

:09:19.:09:24.

lined up to pay tribute, united in sympathy.

:09:25.:09:32.

And of course we must remember tonight at 11 people remain in

:09:33.:09:37.

hospital, three of them in intensive care. If you just look over this

:09:38.:09:43.

shoulder, you can see that work is continuing on this building. The

:09:44.:09:47.

investigators have still been there today. They may be near for a great

:09:48.:09:52.

many days, trying to find the answers to what happened here, and

:09:53.:09:56.

there are a great many families who are very keen to know the truth of

:09:57.:10:00.

just why that helicopter crashed into that pub last Friday night.

:10:01.:10:09.

Aileen Clarke, many thanks. The helicopter is now with crash

:10:10.:10:12.

investigators, but it was based at the Glasgow City Heliport on the

:10:13.:10:16.

banks of the Clyde, and our reporter Willie Johnston is there for us now.

:10:17.:10:18.

Willie. The heliport here on the Clyde, just

:10:19.:10:26.

two miles down the River Clyde from the Clutha pub. The crew, now

:10:27.:10:29.

commemorated by these floral tributes, that close to safety. Also

:10:30.:10:38.

based here at the heliport, another Eurocopter EC 135 identical to the

:10:39.:10:41.

one that crashed, this one operated by the Scottish Ambulance Service.

:10:42.:10:44.

After a brief grounding at the weekend, it's been back in the skies

:10:45.:10:50.

over Glasgow today. We have also learned that Police Scotland have

:10:51.:10:54.

not been without air cover, because back-up has been on offer from

:10:55.:10:58.

colleagues in England. But when will they get their own craft back? And

:10:59.:11:17.

air services -- Well, their helicopter was operated under

:11:18.:11:20.

contract by Bond Air Services, and the police authority has said they

:11:21.:11:24.

will require Bond to replace it, although they haven't yet said when

:11:25.:11:26.

that will happen. Confidence is clearly an issue, and police

:11:27.:11:30.

officers will expect to be reassured that the replacement craft provided

:11:31.:11:33.

is safe fit for purpose. However, we know that Eurocopter have found no

:11:34.:11:37.

reason so far to order this model of helicopter to be grounded. We also

:11:38.:11:39.

understand that a meeting between Bond and their emergency service

:11:40.:11:43.

clients is expected to be held tomorrow.

:11:44.:11:44.

Serve what happens next with the investigation?

:11:45.:11:46.

Well, , the wreckage of the helicopter left Glasgow yesterday

:11:47.:11:48.

afternoon and arrived just a short time ago at the headquarters of the

:11:49.:11:52.

Air Accident Investigation Branch at Farnborough in the south of England

:11:53.:11:55.

where it will undergo detailed examination. The full report will

:11:56.:11:57.

take some considerable time to prepare, but an interim bulletin

:11:58.:12:00.

could and will be issued much earlier, perhaps within days, if any

:12:01.:12:03.

more immediate issues are identified. It is worth pointing out

:12:04.:12:11.

that the air accident investigation Branch can only determine "cause"

:12:12.:12:14.

and not anthing to do with "liability". For that, the

:12:15.:12:16.

Procurator Fiscal service in Glasgow will lead its own investigation to

:12:17.:12:19.

determine if a fatal accident inquiry should be held, or indeed if

:12:20.:12:22.

anyone should face criminal charges in connection with the crash.

:12:23.:12:29.

Billy Johnson, many thanks. You're watching Reporting Scotland from the

:12:30.:12:34.

BBC. Still to come on the programme: The epic and extraordinary story of

:12:35.:12:37.

the British Army officer from Edinburgh sent to a prisoner of war

:12:38.:12:41.

camp in Japan, as portrayed by Colin Firth.

:12:42.:12:45.

In sport, Inverness Caley Thistle will reveal their new manager in the

:12:46.:12:49.

morning. But we'll name the man in charge tonight.

:12:50.:12:52.

And getting ready for athletes to experience the Hampden roar. The

:12:53.:12:55.

transformation of the national stadium begins from football to

:12:56.:12:56.

track and field. Police ranks have united behind

:12:57.:13:06.

proposals to abolish corroboration in what appears to be a significant

:13:07.:13:11.

change in position. Both the Scottish Police Federation and the

:13:12.:13:14.

Association of Police Superintendents had previously

:13:15.:13:16.

expressed concern about losing the centuries-old requirement for two

:13:17.:13:18.

corroborating pieces of evidence to prove guilt. But both now support

:13:19.:13:24.

abolishing the need for corroboration, which is seen as a

:13:25.:13:27.

marked shift in position by Holyrood's Justice Committee.

:13:28.:13:31.

People in central Scotland are more likely to die from alcohol-related

:13:32.:13:36.

causes than those in comparable parts of northern England, according

:13:37.:13:39.

to a study for for NHS Health Scotland and the Glasgow Centre for

:13:40.:13:43.

Population Health. It suggests sales of alcohol per person were 13%

:13:44.:13:46.

higher in Central Scotland than in north-east England and deaths were

:13:47.:13:50.

67% higher than in the north-west of England.

:13:51.:13:55.

Scottish teenagers are better at English and maths than teenagers in

:13:56.:14:00.

the rest of Britain. That's the message from a big international

:14:01.:14:04.

survey out today. But they're not quite as good at science. And

:14:05.:14:08.

there's concern too that some of our international rivals are doing far

:14:09.:14:10.

better. Here's our education correspondent Jamie McIvor.

:14:11.:14:18.

Many different elements make up the world's education systems. This

:14:19.:14:24.

survey of half a million 15-year-olds tries to let us compare

:14:25.:14:27.

how well different countries are doing. The report tells of Scotland

:14:28.:14:32.

is doing roughly as well as the rest of Britain. In fact, we are top when

:14:33.:14:36.

it comes to England in maths, but behind on science. But at this

:14:37.:14:41.

school, they are punching above their weight in science. They have

:14:42.:14:45.

had some innovative ideas, like special mentals. We have people who

:14:46.:14:53.

have mostly retired from their various positions in life, a lot of

:14:54.:14:56.

them graduates from universities who have also worked in various

:14:57.:15:05.

industries. It enables them to close that gap between aspirations, saying

:15:06.:15:08.

I want to study science, and this is how you go about it. This school is

:15:09.:15:14.

in a deprived part of Glasgow, and the Government says that today's

:15:15.:15:18.

report shows it is making progress in helping pupils in less well-off

:15:19.:15:22.

areas. To bring up attainment for everybody, we have to bring up

:15:23.:15:27.

standards, and this is showing that gap beginning to close. But how are

:15:28.:15:32.

we doing internationally? Scotland is included with the rest of the UK

:15:33.:15:36.

in world rankings, and Britain doesn't make the top 20 in any

:15:37.:15:43.

subject. Far east countries do particularly well. I think we need

:15:44.:15:48.

to be careful about assuming that what other countries are doing is

:15:49.:15:51.

something that we can necessarily replicate. I don't think there is a

:15:52.:15:56.

menu or recipe that you can take, because the context for the

:15:57.:16:00.

education system is very difficult. Indeed, research like this is always

:16:01.:16:07.

open to a degree of interpretation, by politicians as well as officials.

:16:08.:16:10.

Newsnight Scotland will be taking up that story in more detail tonight.

:16:11.:16:14.

You can tune in at 11 o'clock on BBC Two for analysis and discussion. Now

:16:15.:16:21.

for some other stories from across Scotland this Tuesday.

:16:22.:16:25.

Bank account holders at RBS say they are still experiencing problems

:16:26.:16:28.

following last night's IT fault which left an estimated 750,000

:16:29.:16:34.

people unable to use their credit and debit cards. Some like Jennifer

:16:35.:16:41.

say recent deposits have disappeared.

:16:42.:16:47.

It's worse today. I managed to get back into the online this morning

:16:48.:16:52.

but all the ongoing transactions have disappeared so I now have no

:16:53.:16:57.

money so yes, worse. I can use my card but I can't use it because

:16:58.:17:01.

there's no money there. Members of the EIS join staff from

:17:02.:17:08.

other unions in strike action. It's over a 1% pay offer for lecturers

:17:09.:17:12.

and admin staff. University bosses claim most staff do not support the

:17:13.:17:16.

action. Detect is are investigating the

:17:17.:17:21.

theft of a quarter of a million pounds worth of vodka and other

:17:22.:17:25.

spirits on the outskirts of Dumfries. The haul was taken from an

:17:26.:17:30.

industrial estate. The board of NHS Highland has

:17:31.:17:35.

approved plans to set up an action team to combat an increase in

:17:36.:17:42.

hospital soup beingcations -- super bug cases. It's failed to reach

:17:43.:17:50.

targets on C c.difficile. We have low levels in this board. People

:17:51.:17:54.

should not be worried when they come into hospital. We doing everything

:17:55.:17:58.

that we can to reduce infection and to ensure that people don't get

:17:59.:18:02.

infections. The other thing is, a lot of the infections we are

:18:03.:18:05.

currently seeing are in the community, rather than in the

:18:06.:18:15.

hospitals. Galashiels has been upgraded to a

:18:16.:18:18.

category A listing meaning that historic Scotland regard the

:18:19.:18:21.

structure as being of national importance.

:18:22.:18:24.

There are more stories from your area and the latest News 24 hours a

:18:25.:18:32.

day on BBC Scotland's website. A new film based on an extraordinary

:18:33.:18:37.

true story gets its UK premier tomorrow. Colin Firth starts in the

:18:38.:18:43.

Railway Man as a scotch prisoner of war who was one of thousands forced

:18:44.:18:48.

to build the Thai Burma railway in the war. Spurred on by his wife, he

:18:49.:18:55.

not only met his captors, but forgave them.

:18:56.:18:59.

Eric was just 21 when he was captured by the Japanese and, like

:19:00.:19:04.

thousands of POWs, forced to build the infamous Thai Burma railway.

:19:05.:19:08.

Tortured by the captors for building a radio receiver to boost morale, he

:19:09.:19:14.

returned home a broken man. I've never been to the Highlands

:19:15.:19:19.

before. Very romantic. The railway man based on his memoir, tells how

:19:20.:19:23.

this gentle rail enthusiast eventually tackled his fears,

:19:24.:19:30.

spurred on by his wife. He not only confronted his captors but federal

:19:31.:19:34.

gave them. Huge joy on a massive scale and an amazing subject which

:19:35.:19:39.

is, you know, forgiveness and that you can be happy after the worst

:19:40.:19:45.

things that life can throw at you -- forgave them. Meeting Eric himself,

:19:46.:19:51.

the most charming, dapper, twinically man you can ever meet. He

:19:52.:19:58.

became a role model forme. -- twinkly man. Eric died last year and

:19:59.:20:09.

his widow says he'd be proud of the film and he said that the hating had

:20:10.:20:14.

to stop. He said that to me and I wondered if we were being disloyal

:20:15.:20:18.

to these young men whose graves were in front of us and voiced that query

:20:19.:20:24.

to Eric. He just thought and he said, Patty, some time the hating

:20:25.:20:35.

has to stop. That sums up him. Time for a look at the sports news

:20:36.:20:38.

now. Thank you very much. Good evening.

:20:39.:20:43.

Work has begun on the national football stadium's ?27 million

:20:44.:20:47.

Commonwealth Games make-over. Hampden's being transformed from a

:20:48.:20:52.

football venue to an athletics arena for sum summer's see vent in

:20:53.:20:56.

Glasgow. Jane Lewis has been hearing why this special Hampden roar is

:20:57.:21:00.

likely to remain. As a football stadium, Hampden has

:21:01.:21:08.

seen it all. Record breaking crowds in days gone by and in more recent

:21:09.:21:18.

time times, some famous victories. But the diggers have already moved

:21:19.:21:23.

in and work is well under way, as this stadium undergoes a massive

:21:24.:21:28.

transformation from football stadium to athletics arena. The length and

:21:29.:21:34.

width of the playing area is not large enough for an international

:21:35.:21:39.

standard athletics track. We need to build up, remove the top surface of

:21:40.:21:44.

the pitch so we can build a platform 1.9 metres above this existing pitch

:21:45.:21:48.

level so above our heads. After the pioneering construction work, this

:21:49.:21:53.

is how Hampden will look, almost unrecognisable. But those who'll be

:21:54.:21:57.

competing there believe one thing will remain.

:21:58.:22:01.

Will it feel like the Hampden that I know, a completely different

:22:02.:22:05.

stadium? I suppose I won't know until I'm there, but I think the

:22:06.:22:08.

atmosphere will be as great as it's been at football matches as well.

:22:09.:22:13.

That's it on its way. Soon there'll be a track. One minute there's

:22:14.:22:16.

grass, the next minute there'll be a track. The new look Hampden and

:22:17.:22:21.

surrounding area should be ready in May at a total cost of ?27 million,

:22:22.:22:26.

and come July, a unique athletics experience will be on offer to some

:22:27.:22:32.

of the world's top athletes. Inverness Caledonian Thistle will

:22:33.:22:34.

announce John Hughes as new manager in the morning. The current Alloa

:22:35.:22:39.

boss, Paul Hartley and the former Kilmarnock manager were ruled out

:22:40.:22:43.

today, leaving the way clear for the former Livingstone Hibernian and

:22:44.:22:49.

Falkirk manager to take over. Hughes went to Hartlepool and was sacked in

May after Fawing to keep the club in English League One. Now a look at

:22:54.:22:56.

what else is happening across Scottish sport.

:22:57.:23:03.

-- failing to keep the club in English league. John Higgins says

:23:04.:23:09.

his form is soul destroying but he's still in the competition and he

:23:10.:23:14.

meets Steven Maguire for a place in the quarter-finals. Glasgow Warriors

:23:15.:23:18.

head to Wales on European duty this week. Back-to-back matches against

:23:19.:23:22.

Cardiff Blues could go a long way to deciding whether the Warriors can

:23:23.:23:25.

fight through to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals.

:23:26.:23:30.

It's massive for us. We have got such a good opportunity of achieving

:23:31.:23:33.

that. That's why this weekend's game is so important, especially the

:23:34.:23:39.

back-to-back games against Cardiff. Greg Rutherford is the latest name

:23:40.:23:45.

to confirm he'll take part in the GB athletics international at the

:23:46.:23:51.

Emirates in Glasgow. There are more sports stories, plus

:23:52.:23:57.

the latest News 24 hours a day on BBC Sport Scotland's website.

:23:58.:24:01.

And that is all of the sport for tonight.

:24:02.:24:06.

Thank you very much. Time for the weather now.

:24:07.:24:10.

Hi, Judith. Good evening to you. Some rather

:24:11.:24:15.

tempestuous weather on its way during tomorrow night and into

:24:16.:24:19.

Thursday. In the meantime, we still have cloud in this weather front. It

:24:20.:24:22.

will continue to sink south, taking away the cloud and rain behind it.

:24:23.:24:26.

Drier, clearer conditions following on, colder too. A few showers in the

:24:27.:24:31.

north but where we see damp ground or wet ground after the rain today,

:24:32.:24:36.

there'll be an ice risk and frost in places too as temperatures fall to

:24:37.:24:39.

around freezing. Keeping a brisk wind in the north

:24:40.:24:45.

bringing the showers in. Tomorrow is cold, bright with an ice risk, but a

:24:46.:24:49.

much different day with a lot of sunshine in the forecast.

:24:50.:24:53.

Showers in the north in the course of the day.

:24:54.:24:58.

In the afternoon, frequent showers in the Northern Isles and northern

:24:59.:25:01.

Scotland, turning to snow over higher ground with a colder feel to

:25:02.:25:06.

the day all together. Plenty of sunshine through the

:25:07.:25:09.

central lowlands and southern Scotland. A much different day to

:25:10.:25:14.

what we saw today. As we head into the evenings, we see

:25:15.:25:20.

the change. The winds strengthen. The reason for

:25:21.:25:26.

this is, we have this low pressure to the forth of us and it will trek

:25:27.:25:31.

across Scotland. The tight isobars here mean severe gales and stormy

:25:32.:25:35.

conditions for Wednesday night into Thursday. The Met Office have a

:25:36.:25:38.

yellow warning. It's an early warning for severe gales the length

:25:39.:25:43.

and breadth of the country for Thursday morning, so a treacherous

:25:44.:25:49.

rush hour. Gusts of 80 potentially in the

:25:50.:25:54.

north. Not only that to contend with, but the driving rain. It's

:25:55.:25:58.

short-lived. The rain pulls away. Then we turn our atension snow with

:25:59.:26:04.

cold air plunging towards us. It becomes drier in the south. The

:26:05.:26:08.

winds ease down a little but it's going to be a much colder day for

:26:09.:26:13.

everyone. Thank you very much. A reminder of

:26:14.:26:17.

the main news: The bodies of all nine people killed

:26:18.:26:21.

:26:50.:26:54.

of the crash. And the investigation into what went

wrong continues. A special fund has been launched to help families and

:27:03.:27:05.

survivors. Tributes have been paid to the killed, the victims and
