arrives on Friday. Can't wait! That's all from

:00:00.:00:15.

Tonight, on Reporting Scotland: Neighbours speak of their shock at

:00:16.:00:25.

the murder of a woman in a Glasgow park as detectives try to establish

:00:26.:00:26.

her last movements. be rejected by the city council.

:00:27.:00:53.

Most people say they cannot believe it. We hear the remarkable love

:00:54.:01:02.

story borne out of the tragedy of the Lockerbie bombing.

:01:03.:01:06.

And after a broken jaw threatened Ricky Burns' career, the boxer tells

:01:07.:01:10.

us he's raring to get back into the ring after being given the all

:01:11.:01:17.

clear. Detectives are trying to piece

:01:18.:01:20.

together the last movements of a woman who was found murdered in a

:01:21.:01:23.

Glasgow park. It's thought the killer struck as 53-year-old Jean

:01:24.:01:27.

Campbell was walking her dog in Cranhill Park. Police have organised

:01:28.:01:30.

extra patrols in the area as Aileen Clarke reports.

:01:31.:01:32.

Flowers for a treasured wife and mother. Jean Campbell found murdered

:01:33.:01:42.

in Cranhill park. It was on Saturday morning that the body was found. It

:01:43.:01:49.

was found by her husband. Jean Campbell had been walking her dog.

:01:50.:01:56.

The park is across from her home. The dog had stayed in the park.

:01:57.:02:03.

Today at the local newsagents there was shock and sadness at the death.

:02:04.:02:14.

She was a very nice woman. She always asked about my boys. She was

:02:15.:02:27.

very nice. Everybody is shocked. With the murder enquiry and away

:02:28.:02:36.

search teams have been combing the park. This murderer has rocked the

:02:37.:02:43.

local community. The community is concerned about violence on the

:02:44.:02:50.

street. I have only lived here for five months but there has been three

:02:51.:02:54.

murders in that time. It does not feel very safe. Something needs to

:02:55.:02:58.

be done. There have been too many incidents. She was a nice woman. It

:02:59.:03:13.

is so sad. When Jean Campbell took her dog out at the weekend she was

:03:14.:03:17.

wearing a black jacket over pyjama bottoms. Detectives are still trying

:03:18.:03:23.

to work out what time she went into the park. Police are keen to hear

:03:24.:03:29.

from anybody who saw the victim after five yen on Friday evening.

:03:30.:03:35.

Ass macro after five o'clock on Friday thing. -- after five o'clock

:03:36.:03:47.

on Friday evening. A crackdown on housebreaking over

:03:48.:03:50.

the festive period means that those caught will face up to five years in

:03:51.:03:54.

prison under a tough new prosecution policy. At the moment most offenders

:03:55.:03:57.

receive sentences of less than a year. New police teams are also

:03:58.:04:01.

being created to tackle the problem. Here's our Home Affairs

:04:02.:04:05.

Correspondent, Reevel Alderson. The dog acts as an extra pair of

:04:06.:04:17.

years. It is frightening. You do not know what the person is like. I am

:04:18.:04:34.

an old man now. I would end up the worst. Police say there is always a

:04:35.:04:42.

spike at Christmas but this type of crime is becoming less common.

:04:43.:04:50.

Police have now created specialist teams to bring it down further. A

:04:51.:04:55.

strong message to anybody who is intent on committing this type of

:04:56.:05:02.

distressing crime. If you are thinking of doing it I will find

:05:03.:05:07.

you, you will be arrested, and you will spend the festive period in

:05:08.:05:11.

jail. For the next three weeks anybody found arrested of

:05:12.:05:24.

housebreaking well. During the holiday period that is

:05:25.:05:33.

the time housebreakers target homes. We are making it public what the

:05:34.:05:37.

policy is in the hope that people will be deterred.

:05:38.:05:46.

For this man the puzzle is why this policy is not being implemented all

:05:47.:05:50.

year round. Aberdeen City Council is set to

:05:51.:05:54.

reject a ?50 million offer from the businessman Sir Ian Wood to

:05:55.:05:59.

redevelop the city centre. He had said his money would be on the table

:06:00.:06:03.

until the end of the year to help fund a transformational project.

:06:04.:06:07.

Kevin Keane is in Aberdeen for us tonight. Kevin, another twist. This

:06:08.:06:19.

is a long-running controversy. It has been going on for the last

:06:20.:06:24.

five years. That is the main eater. Tonight a pantomime will be played

:06:25.:06:28.

out in the air. Many might argue that the real pantomime has been

:06:29.:06:35.

going on down there in the gardens. Usually we are allowed to film, but

:06:36.:06:40.

the council would not allow us today. In 2000 and eight Sir Ian

:06:41.:06:50.

Wood made the ?50 million offer to transform this space into a new

:06:51.:06:55.

civic square. He wanted to raise the level of the gardens and cover over

:06:56.:07:04.

the main road and railway. Last year that plan was rejected by

:07:05.:07:09.

councillors. Sir Ian Wood and his team kept the money on the table and

:07:10.:07:12.

had repeatedly extended the deadline for it to be committed to. That

:07:13.:07:17.

deadline runs out at the end of the. He says there are other projects

:07:18.:07:22.

that the money can be spent on. This week councillors will be asked to

:07:23.:07:26.

write to Sir Ian Wood and rejected the money. The councillors say that

:07:27.:07:31.

is not the end of it. They say they have their own plans for this space.

:07:32.:07:35.

Opposition councillors say it is making a mockery of the city.

:07:36.:07:38.

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

:07:39.:07:42.

programme. Catching up on the Queen's Baton Relay for the

:07:43.:07:44.

Commonwealth Games. Mark Beaumont meets Tonga's boxers going for gold

:07:45.:07:48.

in Glasgow. In sport: Three months after a

:07:49.:07:52.

horror jaw break, we speak to world boxing champion Ricky Burns about

:07:53.:07:57.

the long road back. And we hear about another world class Scot who's

:07:58.:08:00.

finally returning to action. Join me for the sport very soon.

:08:01.:08:07.

Libya has appointed two prosecutors to work on the Lockerbie case. 270

:08:08.:08:22.

people were killed. The Lord Advocate, Frank Mulholland, has told

:08:23.:08:25.

the BBC that the Libyans will work alongside Scottish and American

:08:26.:08:27.

investigators. Mr Mulholland, who is Scotland's top prosecutor, described

:08:28.:08:30.

this as a welcome development which he said would hopefully lead to

:08:31.:08:38.

progress in the case. Libyan law enforcement have appointed two

:08:39.:08:44.

prosecutors to work with US and Scottish prosecutors. That is a

:08:45.:08:49.

welcome development. Hopefully this will progress matters. There are

:08:50.:08:57.

challenges, in particular the security situation. It is small

:08:58.:09:02.

steps. Nevertheless it is positive steps. A man who found the body of a

:09:03.:09:15.

young woman killed in the Lockerbie bombing has fallen in love with the

:09:16.:09:17.

victim's mother. Former ambulance man George White tells his

:09:18.:09:20.

extraordinary story in a BBC documentary to mark the 25th

:09:21.:09:23.

anniversary of the bombing. He's been speaking to our correspondent,

:09:24.:09:30.

Glenn Campbell. This play centre in Lockerbie was

:09:31.:09:34.

gifted money by their relatives of some of those who died a generation

:09:35.:09:39.

ago. Among those whose memory is kept alive in this way is Suzanne

:09:40.:09:47.

Miazga. She was flying home for Christmas. No one on board the

:09:48.:09:59.

flight survived. This is where Suzanne Miazga fail.

:10:00.:10:05.

Her body came down a nurse narrow strip of grass. -- this is where

:10:06.:10:24.

Suzanne Miazga fell. I still have nightmares. I thought I

:10:25.:10:36.

should do something. I planted a rose tree. There is still a

:10:37.:10:51.

remembrance rose tree. George wrote to the mother of

:10:52.:11:02.

Suzanne Miazga, Anna Marie. He said he would always take care of the

:11:03.:11:09.

spot where she fell. It was wonderful that somebody cared. Anna

:11:10.:11:16.

Marie became friends with George and his wife. In the years after the

:11:17.:11:22.

death of the wife of George, the relationship between George and Anna

:11:23.:11:37.

Marie developed. You said I was at the top of the list. Anna Marie and

:11:38.:11:49.

George now live together in New York state. A couple who fell in love

:11:50.:11:55.

because of a young woman who fell from the sky over Lockerbie.

:11:56.:12:01.

And you can see more of George and Anna-Marie in Living With Lockerbie

:12:02.:12:04.

on BBC One Scotland tonight at 10.35.

:12:05.:12:08.

Andy Murray has set his sights on becoming the world tennis number

:12:09.:12:11.

one. The newly-crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year picked up

:12:12.:12:14.

the honour last night winning almost 56 per cent of the vote. He now says

:12:15.:12:19.

he wants to repay the public's faith by trying to win next months'

:12:20.:12:22.

Australian Open. Kheredine Idessane has more.

:12:23.:12:35.

It is one of the biggest prizes in British sport. If you want to try to

:12:36.:12:45.

be the best athlete you need to make sacrifices.

:12:46.:12:55.

Finally to have my name and alongside some of the great British

:12:56.:13:05.

athletes is very nice. Winning Wimbledon finally cemented his place

:13:06.:13:11.

in the nation's heart. The joke a few years ago about supporting

:13:12.:13:14.

anybody but a month at football finally forgotten in the South. I am

:13:15.:13:25.

surprised he's not get it last year. If this was a tennis match Andy

:13:26.:13:28.

Murray won in straight sets. Quite a transformation. The

:13:29.:13:55.

management team are looking for him to take a few more risks.

:13:56.:14:02.

There are moments such as the support he has given his friends in

:14:03.:14:14.

his fight against cancer. It all means Andy Murray now has an Olympic

:14:15.:14:21.

gold medal, two grand slam titles, and the sports personality award. He

:14:22.:14:29.

made history last night. He won the junior title in 2004 and though he

:14:30.:14:36.

has won the senior title. No matter how excited I am my voice still

:14:37.:14:43.

sounds boring. Andy Murray is setting his sights on the Australian

:14:44.:14:50.

open next month. If you weren't sporty at school, PE lessons can

:14:51.:14:53.

still bring back memories of humiliation and excuse notes.

:14:54.:14:58.

But there's a new scheme to try to change the way PE is taught to help

:14:59.:15:02.

make it more appealing to all children. Instead of just playing a

:15:03.:15:05.

game like football or hockey, it's all about teaching youngsters about

:15:06.:15:08.

moving and thinking at the same time. Our education correspondent

:15:09.:15:11.

Jamie McIvor's been finding out more. If she were no good at things

:15:12.:15:18.

like this, you might not have an joy to PE at school. But it does not

:15:19.:15:25.

have to mean sport or gymnastics. -- not have enjoyed. These primary two

:15:26.:15:30.

children are getting a new sort of PE. What does BMT stand for? Better

:15:31.:15:45.

movers and thinkers. It is not a case of teaching the children

:15:46.:15:50.

sports. It is actually about teaching children to move and think

:15:51.:15:54.

about how they move which become tactics in game situations. In this

:15:55.:16:03.

session we have just done, we did one two, three hop which encourages

:16:04.:16:07.

children to be coordinator to, it helps them cope. Their teacher says

:16:08.:16:15.

PE like this has benefits back in the classroom. With this, we are

:16:16.:16:22.

focusing on acquiring the skill of listening to instructions. In the

:16:23.:16:29.

classroom, we noticed that because we're teaching skills and make him

:16:30.:16:34.

is holed, they learn to do that in the classroom. -- teaching skills in

:16:35.:16:45.

the games hall. The latest figures say nearly nine out of town and

:16:46.:16:50.

schools are giving two hours of PE a week. Schemes like this are not

:16:51.:16:55.

meant to replace sport but it is supposed to help to ensure that all

:16:56.:17:01.

children get the most from PE. Other stories from across the

:17:02.:17:04.

country this Monday. Police have been continuing their

:17:05.:17:08.

search along the banks of the River Leven in Fife for a missing

:17:09.:17:12.

17-year-old boy. Thomas Brown, from Cupar, was out with friends in

:17:13.:17:15.

Methil when he became separated from the group. He hasn't been seen since

:17:16.:17:17.

Friday. Controversial plans to merge

:17:18.:17:27.

Aberdeen primary schools have been dropped. The Labour-led council

:17:28.:17:30.

faced a backlash from parents over its proposals to merge Bramble Brae

:17:31.:17:33.

with Quarryhill, and Middleton Park and Glashieburn schools. But, after

:17:34.:17:35.

a consultation, council leaders have decided the children would not

:17:36.:17:38.

benefit from the move. Highland Council will receive ?3

:17:39.:17:41.

million from the Scottish government to build a new Gaelic school in

:17:42.:17:44.

Portree on Skye. Languages Minister Alasdair Allan said an additional

:17:45.:17:47.

quarter of a million pounds would also be made available to develop

:17:48.:17:50.

Gaelic learning in early years at the site. Highland Council expects

:17:51.:17:57.

work to start in 2015 and the school to cost 8.3 million to build.

:17:58.:18:00.

Glasgow has the lowest kidney donation rate in the UK, according

:18:01.:18:03.

to scientists at Cambridge University and NHS Blood and

:18:04.:18:04.

Transplant. They put the figure at three point

:18:05.:18:08.

two per cent - compared to a national average of over 5%. But one

:18:09.:18:11.

of Glasgow's top transplant surgeons has rubbished the report. Marc

:18:12.:18:14.

Clancy argues the figures are out-of-date. Fishermens' leaders

:18:15.:18:18.

fear more cuts in the number of days Scotland's fishing boats can stay at

:18:19.:18:22.

sea may be on the cards in annual EU talks on fish quotas, due to start.

:18:23.:18:25.

Most of the major decisions affecting the Scottish fleet won't

:18:26.:18:28.

be taken until after negotiations in the new year between the EU, Norway,

:18:29.:18:39.

Iceland and the Faroes. The desire that we have given to our ministers

:18:40.:18:45.

is you cannot come back with the reduction in days at sea for our

:18:46.:18:50.

fishing fleet. We must maintain the minimum number of days at sea that

:18:51.:18:53.

we have. And there are more stories from your

:18:54.:18:57.

area - and all the latest news, 24 hours a day on BBC Scotland's

:18:58.:19:04.

website. The Queen's Baton Relay is

:19:05.:19:06.

continuing its journey to every Commonwealth Nation and Territory as

:19:07.:19:10.

part of the build up to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next

:19:11.:19:12.

July. Mark Beaumont is travelling with the Baton and while in Tonga

:19:13.:19:16.

met one of the island's young boxing hopefuls hoping to continue the

:19:17.:19:31.

country's medal success in the ring. At times the exuberance of the

:19:32.:19:34.

celebration had been reined in a little to look after the precious

:19:35.:19:39.

Queen's Baton Relay is Tonga won all three of their Commonwealth medals

:19:40.:19:43.

at boxing so these guys here hope to continue that success in Glasgow

:19:44.:19:51.

2014. As a contender for the games, is 22-year-old had the honour of

:19:52.:19:54.

being one of the final battle on carriers in Tonga. I went to see how

:19:55.:20:00.

the medal hopeful was getting ready for Glasgow. Where do you normally

:20:01.:20:06.

train? You're looking at the facilities and without train. We

:20:07.:20:11.

just have a punching bag and skipping ropes, gloves and some

:20:12.:20:21.

weights. They said boxers eat six times a day but here in Tonga, I eat

:20:22.:20:28.

only once a day, unless they train in the night-time. We do not have

:20:29.:20:34.

money for everything. It does not mean you stop. It does not matter

:20:35.:20:43.

what you have. What matters to me is what I know I can do. The court

:20:44.:20:52.

thought I was ready to go toe to toe with Oscar. -- the coach. He is

:20:53.:21:10.

laughing! It is hard for you. He is moving too fast. It was time to get

:21:11.:21:18.

out before I got knocked out. This is where we train our champions stop

:21:19.:21:27.

this is the only boxing ring in Tonga. Without it there is no

:21:28.:21:35.

competition. In Tonga, guys like Oscar and using sports to better

:21:36.:21:39.

their lives but when their facilities are so basic, including

:21:40.:21:43.

this boxing ring, they have much harder than their competitors to

:21:44.:21:48.

reach the highest level. It helps that fighting seems to be in the

:21:49.:21:52.

blood of Tongans and from what I've seen, Oscar has what it takes to be

:21:53.:22:00.

as future champion. And Rhona's squaring up with more

:22:01.:22:02.

boxing leading tonight's sports news.

:22:03.:22:05.

Scotland's world boxing champion Ricky Burns has been cleared to

:22:06.:22:09.

resume his career - three months after a horrific jaw break. Thank

:22:10.:22:11.

you very much. The Coatbridge lightweight was injured in his drawn

:22:12.:22:15.

title defence in September, but now plans to begin sparring ahead of his

:22:16.:22:18.

next fight in the new year. He's been speaking to Phil Goodlad.

:22:19.:22:26.

Ricky Burns is backing the and now cleared for more than just

:22:27.:22:29.

promotional work. I was in hospital and got x-rayed to see the surge in

:22:30.:22:34.

the other day. The happy with the way it is recovering. Three months

:22:35.:22:39.

ago it looked very different, a broken jaw had him questioning his

:22:40.:22:44.

boxing future. Now he is ready to go back in the firing line. I will not

:22:45.:22:49.

be happy until I get back in the ring. I have been going to fight

:22:50.:22:54.

some watching people spiralling. I am dying to get back in there

:22:55.:23:01.

myself. I want to test it out. Last year you was at the height of his

:23:02.:23:06.

powers. 2013 has been a different story. In March he split from his

:23:07.:23:11.

promoter, Frank Warren, who announced he is suing Burns for

:23:12.:23:17.

damages. In May he retained his title. A controversial draw in

:23:18.:23:26.

September and a broken jaw. Now this man, an undefeated American

:23:27.:23:31.

represents his next challenge. Everyone says this will be my

:23:32.:23:37.

toughest fight to date. I am the underdog but that is the reality

:23:38.:23:40.

kicked, there is no pressure on me. The pressure will increase as he

:23:41.:23:50.

nears his return to the ring. Another comeback kids. The Scotland

:23:51.:23:52.

captain Darren Fletcher says he's back for good after suffering a

:23:53.:23:55.

serious bowel condition. The midfielder made his return to

:23:56.:23:58.

competitive football for the first time in almost a year when he came

:23:59.:24:02.

on as a sub for Manchester United in yesterday's match against Aston

:24:03.:24:05.

Villa. He played the last twenty minutes, and his manager was both

:24:06.:24:08.

pleased and impressed. I thought when he came on he looked as if he

:24:09.:24:13.

had not been away. I was really impressed the cos we're not sure

:24:14.:24:16.

really is, he has had a few reserve games and he has been training. You

:24:17.:24:22.

never can tell. I thought he played very well in the 25 minutes he

:24:23.:24:26.

played today. Now, a look at what else has been

:24:27.:24:30.

happening today in Scottish sport... A 16 points to ten victory win over

:24:31.:24:33.

Gloucester was impressive, but Edinburgh Rugby have only a slim

:24:34.:24:36.

chance of reaching the quarter finals of the Heineken Cup. They sit

:24:37.:24:40.

third in pool six but remain positive. We're in with a chance. As

:24:41.:24:48.

long as we win our games, that's all we can look for, moving forward if

:24:49.:24:54.

we can keep this as our standards and move on beyond this, that would

:24:55.:24:58.

be the key thing. It's a happy 18th birthday today for

:24:59.:25:01.

Dundee United midfielder Ryan Gauld. The teenager has agreed a contract

:25:02.:25:05.

extension until the end of season 2017. Gould has played 30 times for

:25:06.:25:11.

United scoring seven goals. Livingston speed skater Elise

:25:12.:25:13.

Christie has just been named in team GB for the Sochi winter Games. It's

:25:14.:25:18.

her second Olympics. Christie will compete in all three events, and

:25:19.:25:27.

says expectations are high. We had an expectation to do well before and

:25:28.:25:34.

be in the top 16 and top eight. There was expectation for a medal,

:25:35.:25:37.

that does not mean we will win one but we have a chance.

:25:38.:25:41.

And there are more sports stories - plus all the latest news, 24 hours a
