:00:33. > :00:35.helicopter crash. They've found no initial evidence of major mechanical
:00:36. > :00:38.malfunction, and there was plenty of fuel on board.

:00:43. > :00:49.be done to tackle the problem. I would not just by one bottle of
:00:50. > :00:53.cider, I would get three bottles of three litres. I would just start

:01:05. > :01:06.Celtic ban more than 100 fans, following scenes described as
:01:07. > :01:13.shameful and embarrassing at Motherwell on Friday. And looking
:01:14. > :01:26.for shelter at Christmas - the robin that's found an unlikely home. A
:01:27. > :01:29.preliminary report into the Glasgow helicopter crash has found no
:01:30. > :01:33.initial evidence of major mechanical malfunction. A special bulletin from
:01:34. > :01:36.the Air Accidents Investigation Branch came on the day of the
:01:37. > :01:42.funerals of two of the victims of the which claimed the lives of nine
:01:43. > :01:48.people. Our report is at the crash site. What does this report tell us?
:01:49. > :01:54.You can see that fresh flowers are still being made here. That is an
:01:55. > :01:58.absolute sign that people here, it is still raw in their minds and they
:01:59. > :02:03.have a thirst to find out information about what happened that
:02:04. > :02:06.night. Today's report is an interim report so what it does is it does
:02:07. > :02:10.not tell us what went wrong that night and why the helicopter
:02:11. > :02:15.crashed. But what it does do is rule out some of the potential causes. We
:02:16. > :02:18.have learned from the report that the weather was fine, that the
:02:19. > :02:23.helicopter had about a fifth of a tank of fuel when it crashed.
:02:24. > :02:28.Experts say that would have been plenty to land. And we learned there
:02:29. > :02:32.is no evidence of major mechanical disruption to either engine. This
:02:33. > :02:34.information is very helpful to the aviation industry but what the
:02:35. > :02:39.families and those affected really want to know is what happened, and
:02:40. > :02:42.it may take some time for investigators to find out what went
:02:43. > :02:48.wrong with the helicopter that night.
:02:49. > :02:54.It is ten days now since witnesses said they saw the police helicopter
:02:55. > :02:59.dropped like a stone from the sky. The crew had started work at 8:45pm
:03:00. > :03:06.that evening, flying from Glasgow to Dalkeith and then of the North and
:03:07. > :03:09.South Lanarkshire. At 1018 PM the pilot requested clearance from air
:03:10. > :03:16.traffic controllers to return to the heliport in Glasgow. This was the
:03:17. > :03:21.last communication. Four minutes later, radar contact with the
:03:22. > :03:25.helicopter was lost. Today's into Britain report said the helicopter
:03:26. > :03:32.struck the flat roof of the Clutha with a high rate of descent and low
:03:33. > :03:35.or negligible forward speed. A preliminary examination showed that
:03:36. > :03:40.all the main rotor blades were attached at the time of impact. But
:03:41. > :03:44.that neither the main nor the tail rotor were rotating. After the
:03:45. > :03:50.initial examination, the helicopter was lifted clear of the building by
:03:51. > :03:55.a crane. 95 litres of fuel were removed from its tanks. It was then
:03:56. > :03:57.taken to Farnborough. There they found no evidence of major
:03:58. > :04:04.mechanical disruption of either engine, and that the main rotor
:04:05. > :04:08.gearbox was capable of providing drive. So far, extensive damage has
:04:09. > :04:14.prevented similar checks on the other gearbox. Experts say what has
:04:15. > :04:18.been ruled out leaves more questions than answers. I suspect they know
:04:19. > :04:23.something that they cannot prove at the moment and therefore do not tell
:04:24. > :04:27.us. I find it article two is matching what that might be. -- I
:04:28. > :04:32.find it very difficult to imagine what that might be. Hundreds of
:04:33. > :04:42.mourners turned out to the funerals of two victims, Mark O'Prey, 44, in
:04:43. > :04:46.East Kilbride, and 48-year-old Gary Arthur, the first of the victims to
:04:47. > :04:52.be named publicly. Nine people died in this tragedy. He funerals of
:04:53. > :05:00.police constable Tony Collins and John McGarrigle will take place
:05:01. > :05:04.tomorrow. Alcohol is still killing 20 people a
:05:05. > :05:08.week on average in Scotland. Although there has been a fall in
:05:09. > :05:14.drink related deaths, NHS Scotland says a further number of people per
:05:15. > :05:17.week require hospital treatment. It is calling for more to be done to
:05:18. > :05:23.tackle the problem. Scotland has a destructive and
:05:24. > :05:26.disappointing relationship with Scotland. We have said that on this
:05:27. > :05:34.programme time and time again and now can you figure is to quantify
:05:35. > :05:37.that. Each week, 20 deaths can be attributed to alcohol related
:05:38. > :05:43.courses. There are 500 hospital admissions a week. That gives a
:05:44. > :05:47.total of 26,000 each year in hospital because of drink. Now look
:05:48. > :05:51.at this graph. It shows the alcohol-related death rates in
:05:52. > :05:55.Scotland. Compared to England. They rose steadily until the start of the
:05:56. > :06:00.last decade and then they began to fall away. It shows that the number
:06:01. > :06:05.of Scottish men who are dying remains about 70% higher than that
:06:06. > :06:12.of English men. Affordability of drink remained a major issue.
:06:13. > :06:19.Karen is a statistic, admitted to hospital because of alcohol. She has
:06:20. > :06:25.liver damage. I would get three bottles of cider, three times three
:06:26. > :06:33.litres, nine litres of cider. I would just start drinking them, but
:06:34. > :06:38.I would not just super way. -- I would not just sit them slowly. Then
:06:39. > :06:45.someone else would come to the door and it would be another two or
:06:46. > :06:48.three. Now, at 26, she is in rehabilitation, trying to get her
:06:49. > :06:54.life back together. For Karen and others, alcohol has never been more
:06:55. > :06:59.affordable all available. And with Scots buying much more alcohol per
:07:00. > :07:03.head than in England and Wales, that exacerbates the problem,
:07:04. > :07:11.particularly for young women. Women 25 to 44, for then we have seen
:07:12. > :07:16.alcohol-related discharges go up, because of alcoholic liver disease.
:07:17. > :07:19.The harm caused by alcohol is a reason the Scottish Government is
:07:20. > :07:24.determined to press ahead with its plans to introduce a minimum price
:07:25. > :07:27.for alcohol, 50p per unit, forcing up the price of cheap cider and
:07:28. > :07:33.spirits, drinks which cause the most damage. The key issue to breaking
:07:34. > :07:36.the back of this problem is to deal with the price of alcohol. If the
:07:37. > :07:43.price is out with the range of people to buy out Dell wallet

:08:50. > :08:52.but officials are slow off the mark to correct things.
:08:53. > :08:56.The Scottish Parliament's Presiding Officer has recommended that in the
:08:57. > :09:02.formal link between MSPs' and MPs but not pay. The move is designed to
:09:03. > :09:06.avoid the MSPs being given the same 11% pay rise as their Westminster
:09:07. > :09:13.counterparts. Report is at Holyrood. What being proposed? Since 2002,
:09:14. > :09:18.there has been that formal link between MSPs' pay here at Holyrood
:09:19. > :09:24.and at Westminster MPs' pay. What they are looking to do is to avoid
:09:25. > :09:30.that in 11% proposed rise that would go ahead here at Holyrood if nothing
:09:31. > :09:33.changed. Today politicians in here are acutely aware of just how
:09:34. > :09:39.unpopular such a rise would be among the population as a whole, and so
:09:40. > :09:42.today the Presiding Officer put forward a fresh proposal, the idea
:09:43. > :09:52.to cut this link twin Holyrood and Westminster, and instead to link any
:09:53. > :09:56.future rise in MSPs' basic salary directly to public sector pay more
:09:57. > :10:03.generally. She says it is the right thing to do. I think it would be
:10:04. > :10:08.totally unacceptable for MSPs to take a rise of that magnitude.
:10:09. > :10:14.Particularly when we are in a period of economic restraint where the
:10:15. > :10:22.public sector wages have been held down, where people are struggling to
:10:23. > :10:27.make ends meet. People who are struggling our own constituents.
:10:28. > :10:31.These proposals have been settled on following cross-party discussions.
:10:32. > :10:35.They have the support of the party leader. More widely, the Presiding
:10:36. > :10:39.Officer says she believes they have the support of the MSPs in general
:10:40. > :10:43.across the chamber. The true test of that is expected to come early next
:10:44. > :10:45.year when a resolution is put before the parliament and MSPs have a

:11:08. > :11:14.from Kircaldy. For decades, Kircaldy Harbour was out of business. Now it
:11:15. > :11:19.is thriving once more. This coastal freighter at steam in of the North
:11:20. > :11:24.Sea with a vital cargo in its hold. Enough wheat for most of Scotland's
:11:25. > :11:29.bread. On board, the captain is glad to be back here after many years
:11:30. > :11:34.away. I always like to look at the walls as I go in and out because
:11:35. > :11:38.these were obviously built a long time ago and that gives you some
:11:39. > :11:41.sort of feeling of maybe the different ships coming here and
:11:42. > :11:48.probably sailing ships, that you are still doing it feels rather nice.
:11:49. > :11:53.Every ten days or so, a ship like this ties up alongside the port here
:11:54. > :11:57.in Kircaldy. And then the unloading begins. 2000 tonnes of wheat every
:11:58. > :12:07.time from as far afield as Russia and Canada. The wheat is brought in
:12:08. > :12:11.to Carr's Flour Mills. This place is brand-new and it is
:12:12. > :12:18.state-of-the-art. Here the wheat is ground up and sifted, each day it
:12:19. > :12:22.makes enough flour for 750,000 loaves of bread. And it has been
:12:23. > :12:28.built here by the harbour for a very good reason. There is good wheat
:12:29. > :12:32.growing in Scotland at not necessarily for bread. It does a
:12:33. > :12:38.great job for biscuits and pastries and that kind of thing. The bread
:12:39. > :12:41.wheat needs more sunshine and a more reliable harvest, so the ability to

:13:44. > :13:46.Another ?6 million is to be spent on increasing the amount of PE taught
:13:47. > :13:49.in schools. The Sports Minister made the announcement during a visit to a
:13:50. > :13:53.Dundee primary. The Government wants all primary schools to offer at
:13:54. > :14:00.least two hours of PE a week by June next year. The last figures showed
:14:01. > :14:03.that 89% of all schools were delivering that target. We want to
:14:04. > :14:07.complete that journey and the money is helping with some of the

:15:04. > :15:06.Tomorrow in Stockholm, Professor Peter Higgs of Edinburgh University
:15:07. > :15:09.will receive the Nobel Prize for Physics. It's almost 50 years since
:15:10. > :15:13.he proposed the fundamental particle which now bears his name. But it's
:15:14. > :15:15.just two years since the Higgs Boson was found. Tonight on BBC Two
:15:16. > :15:18.Scotland, a documentary will bring the story up to date. Our science
:15:19. > :15:22.correspondent Kenneth Macdonald has been hearing from Peter Higgs and
:15:23. > :15:24.from some of the Swedes behind the prize.
:15:25. > :15:33.He has come a long way. From a brilliant idea in Edinburgh to the
:15:34. > :15:37.Swedish capital and the Nobel prize. Here we have the Royal Swedish
:15:38. > :15:44.Academy of scientists. That is the exact desk.
:15:45. > :15:48.Professor Peter Higgs, the University of Edinburgh.
:15:49. > :15:51.So, what does the Nobel Prize say about Peter Higgs?
:15:52. > :15:57.It says that he is definitely one of the most important figures in
:15:58. > :16:05.physics and, of course, his discovery of this brilliant particle
:16:06. > :16:10.named after him, that is a very interesting theory. It wasn't proven
:16:11. > :16:17.until last year, when they found the article.
:16:18. > :16:19.This is Nobel prize week. Exhibitions leading up until the
:16:20. > :16:27.ceremony. You feel as if you are at a wedding.
:16:28. > :16:32.It is a life altering day. You get a real feel for that.
:16:33. > :16:39.Peter Higgs will receive his Nobel Prize here. Almost 50 years ago, he
:16:40. > :16:43.described how the blocks of matter acquired their mass. It took him
:16:44. > :16:48.years to prove that, and his ideas dried science forward.
:16:49. > :16:54.But, just for a moment, everything will pause as Peter Higgs goes to
:16:55. > :17:01.this stage to receive this accolade. What will he be thinking?
:17:02. > :17:07.I will probably remember a Swedish film that I saw back in the 1950s
:17:08. > :17:12.that I found very moving. It was about an elderly Swedish professor
:17:13. > :17:17.who was travelling to the capital to receive an award and remembering
:17:18. > :17:23.things from his youth. I will probably feel the same way.
:17:24. > :17:25.And you can see more on that tonight on Peter Higgs: Scotland's Nobel
:17:26. > :17:40.Winner, 10pm tonight on BBC Two Scotland.
:17:41. > :17:43.Now, here is the sports news. Celtic have banned 128 fans after
:17:44. > :17:47.the trouble at Motherwell on Friday night. It follows scenes described
:17:48. > :17:49.by the League as "shameful" and by Celtic themselves as an
:17:50. > :17:52."embarrassment". Thousands of pounds worth of damage was caused by Celtic
:17:53. > :18:00.fans, who also threw fireworks and smoke bombs.
:18:01. > :18:05.Friday night football up in smoke. On an evening Celtic's reputation
:18:06. > :18:11.and Motherwell's ground were damaged. Over 100 fans did not sit
:18:12. > :18:14.where they were supposed to, breaking seats and costing thousands
:18:15. > :18:22.of pounds worth of damage. Motherwell have denounced -- denied
:18:23. > :18:28.permission to show pictures of the scene, because it is now a crime
:18:29. > :18:33.scene. But fireworks and a smoke flare was set off. Significant
:18:34. > :18:37.damage has been done and a full investigation is now under way.
:18:38. > :18:43.Motherwell have to comment. What about Celtic?
:18:44. > :18:47.Here, the action has been swift and decisive. Celtic have banned 128
:18:48. > :18:53.supporters from home and away matches. They have split up the
:18:54. > :18:57.section of the home support by relocating 250 season-ticket
:18:58. > :19:02.holders. They have issued a statement saying that the events of
:19:03. > :19:05.Friday night were an embarrassment and totally indefensible. Some fans
:19:06. > :19:10.who were there agree with the strong action.
:19:11. > :19:13.It was shocking. You cannot have that at football. There were people
:19:14. > :19:17.leaving with their children, because it was not safe.
:19:18. > :19:25.Celtic is one of the best clubs to support, and its knees look after
:19:26. > :19:34.its reputation. There could be a European punishment
:19:35. > :19:37.brought to. European 800 metres Champion Lynsey
:19:38. > :19:40.Sharp has told BBC Scotland that she's still waiting to receive her
:19:41. > :19:43.Gold medal from the Championships. Sharp was upgraded from silver after
:19:44. > :19:47.the Russian winner was found to have been a drugs cheat. The Scot feels
:19:48. > :19:49.European Athletics may be trying to 'deal with the situation quietly.
:19:50. > :19:56.Our Commonwealth Games Reporter Jane Lewis has more.
:19:57. > :20:03.And Lynsey Sharp is finishing incredibly quickly?
:20:04. > :20:08.The results were declared in June, but I have heard nothing. I think it
:20:09. > :20:12.is the athletics body who have decided.
:20:13. > :20:18.Lynsey Sharp is playing the waiting game. After finishing second, the
:20:19. > :20:23.Russian was subsequently banned for doping, so the gold went to Lynsey
:20:24. > :20:27.Sharp. I have heard about people getting
:20:28. > :20:32.their medals delivered in an envelope through the door. I don't
:20:33. > :20:36.know if the sport is not proud about it, so they are trying to do it
:20:37. > :20:42.quietly, or whether it is Administration. I don't know.
:20:43. > :20:47.UK Athletics are aware of the situation and say they are working
:20:48. > :20:49.to resolve it. They say that they have had positive discussions to
:20:50. > :20:54.make sure that she recovers the metal at the appropriate time and
:20:55. > :20:59.place. European athletics have made no
:21:00. > :21:02.comment about this today, but Lynsey Sharp is remaining hopeful.
:21:03. > :21:06.To hear about people being banned and people being upgraded is one
:21:07. > :21:17.thing, but it will feel different when I have the medal. I will be
:21:18. > :21:25.able to tell the story. And here is more sport.
:21:26. > :21:28.The unbeaten American Terence Crawford will challenge Ricky Burns
:21:29. > :21:31.for the world title in February. Burns had hoped for a rematch
:21:32. > :21:33.against Raymundo Beltran for the WBO lightweight belt, but authorities
:21:34. > :21:35.insisted on Crawford, the mandatory challenger.

:22:30. > :22:32.think it will be like the Olympic Games all over again, with the whole
:22:33. > :22:36.crowd. I can't wait. And there are more sports stories,
:22:37. > :22:38.plus all the latest news, 24 hours a18:50 09/12/2013 day on BBC Sport
:22:39. > :22:53.Scotland's website. Now, a heart-warming Christmas tale.
:22:54. > :22:56.A business on Speyside has opened its doors to provide food and
:22:57. > :23:00.shelter to a homeless local resident, who is fast becoming a bit
:23:01. > :23:04.of a celebrity. Craig Anderson has been to meet him.
:23:05. > :23:11.It is the ideal Christmas story to bring festive cheer. Robin decides
:23:12. > :23:19.to make his home amongst the seasonal display at this shop. And
:23:20. > :23:24.he is in fine voice. He moved in two weeks ago.
:23:25. > :23:28.He used to come in every day, and then he stopped overnight and he has
:23:29. > :23:35.been here every sense. He has his own little birdbath and we feed him.
:23:36. > :23:40.He is in every night. He used to sit outside on our sign and the flowers,
:23:41. > :23:48.singing to customers, and then, one day, she came through the door.
:23:49. > :23:55.Batman's now become a site in the store, and with plenty of purchases
:23:56. > :23:59.to choose from, he has become a hit with customers as well. He seems
:24:00. > :24:05.quite happy. He sings in the window. People come
:24:06. > :24:13.and take photographs of him. He is a celebrity. We have to show people
:24:14. > :24:17.that we have a Robin here. Robins are fiercely territorial, so
:24:18. > :24:23.he would not want another bird coming into his patch. Now having
:24:24. > :24:33.found his free accommodation, he won't be tweeting about it.
:24:34. > :24:42.It is Christmas, isn't it? But not Christmas like whether?
:24:43. > :24:53.Yes, it is very mild today. It is quite a settled picture, but there
:24:54. > :24:58.is also a breeze. This air pressure across the continent is exerting
:24:59. > :25:02.this weather, and it is pouring this over the country. That is why we
:25:03. > :25:08.have mild temperatures. It will be quite a cloudy night, though there
:25:09. > :25:13.will be some breaks over eastern Scotland. There will be some rain in
:25:14. > :25:20.the West, but quite a breezy night, a strong winds on the West coach --
:25:21. > :25:24.coast, with temperatures on the mild side.
:25:25. > :25:28.Tomorrow, a mild, breezy start of the day. The cloud will continue to
:25:29. > :25:34.break up in the breeze. We will see some rain across the West. In the
:25:35. > :25:39.afternoon, there will be some dry conditions, or with sunshine coming
:25:40. > :25:45.through here. I am hopeful for some sunshine in
:25:46. > :25:49.the Ayrshire coast. There will be brightness in the Glasgow area.
:25:50. > :25:56.Potentially some patchy rain for Argyle. It will be drier for the
:25:57. > :26:03.Northwest Highlands. It will be quite mild on the islands. I think
:26:04. > :26:09.we will see some sunny spells for Inverness and Fife, Edinburgh, down
:26:10. > :26:13.towards the Borders. The temperatures are very much on the
:26:14. > :26:17.mild side. As far as the rest of the afternoon
:26:18. > :26:24.is concerned, we will see some of the rain in the West. It will stay
:26:25. > :26:29.on the breezy side. On Wednesday, a lot of dry weather. Quite a sunny
:26:30. > :26:34.day, especially in central Scotland, but also on the breezy side. We will
:26:35. > :26:46.start to see a change, rain crossing the country, but it does stay mild.
:26:47. > :26:53.A reminder of tonight's menus. A preliminary report into the
:26:54. > :27:04.helicopter accident in Glasgow has started. And the funerals of some of
:27:05. > :27:08.the people who died. One of the men accused of murdering
:27:09. > :27:11.Fusilier Lee Rigby on the streets of London in May has been describing
:27:12. > :27:14.how he chose his victim and then killed him. 28-year-old Michael
:27:15. > :27:18.Adebolajo, a Muslim convert from Essex and a father of six, told the
:27:19. > :27:20.Old Bailey he was a soldier of Allah and blamed Lee Rigby's death on UK
:27:21. > :27:23.foreign policy. Alcohol is still killing 20 people a
:27:24. > :27:26.week on average in Scotland. Although there has been a fall in
:27:27. > :27:30.drink related deaths. A further 700 people a week require hospital
:27:31. > :27:37.treatment. That is all from us for now. I will
:27:38. > :27:41.be back with the headlines at eight me for that. From everyone on the
:27:42. > :27:46.team, goodbye.
