:01:10. > :01:14.And I will be finding out how we aren't getting ready to get away for
:01:15. > :01:18.Christmas. The Catholic Church in Scotland has
:01:19. > :01:22.come under attack by the way it treats abuse victims. Almost five
:01:23. > :01:24.months since we revealed the child sex abuse scandal at two prestigious
:01:25. > :01:28.Catholic boarding schools, BBC Scotland can reveal that no senior
:01:29. > :01:33.clergy has sought out any of the victims to offer support. It comes
:01:34. > :01:35.as the police Scotland investigation into the scandal continues. Our
:01:36. > :01:41.investigations correspondent Mark Daly has this report.
:01:42. > :01:46.Claims of physical and sexual abuse at two Scotland's most prestigious
:01:47. > :01:51.Catholic boarding schools, spanning five decades. The Catholic Church's
:01:52. > :01:55.initial reaction to the scandal was to say it was nothing to do with
:01:56. > :01:58.them, it was the Benedictines, the religious order which man the
:01:59. > :02:04.schools. But as the story escalated and more victims came forward, one
:02:05. > :02:11.of the church's most senior bishops, Hugh Gilbert, spoke out. We are
:02:12. > :02:15.anxious that they will be a full police investigation into all of
:02:16. > :02:20.this, and all that can be done for the victims will be done. So what
:02:21. > :02:23.happens next? The BBC asked each of the men featured in our programme
:02:24. > :02:28.what the church had done since the statement was made. Absolutely
:02:29. > :02:35.nothing. There has been no contact from anyone for sub as far as I am
:02:36. > :02:45.aware, nobody else had any positive approach from anyone. Donald was
:02:46. > :02:49.abused by this month, Aidan Dorgan, now dead. Donald is now considering
:02:50. > :02:55.legal action but what he says he really wants is for the church to
:02:56. > :02:59.reach out to him. I had expected a phone call or some contact because
:03:00. > :03:04.they knew how to contact me quite simply and easily. What did you
:03:05. > :03:06.expect the church to do? Live up to the responsibility and to the
:03:07. > :03:14.Christian thing and help people who, in their care, have suffered. That
:03:15. > :03:17.is what Christianity is about. We asked why the church seemed to fail
:03:18. > :03:40.to follow up the Bishop's words. A spokesman said:
:03:41. > :03:48.the spokesman added that at least one former pupil had been referred
:03:49. > :03:52.to an abbot who has twice visited Saint Augustus since the scandal
:03:53. > :03:57.broke. A major police investigation is underway and to date, three men
:03:58. > :03:59.have been referred to Prakash Crown prosecutors by the police. The BBC
:04:00. > :04:05.understands one others reported as this former monk, Denis Alexander,
:04:06. > :04:11.confronted by BBC Scotland earlier this year in Australia. More
:04:12. > :04:17.referrals are likely, as police Scotland continue to investigate
:04:18. > :04:20.both at home and abroad. A man who attacked and injured a
:04:21. > :04:22.newborn baby has escaped a prison sentence despite a sheriff
:04:23. > :04:25.describing his behaviour as unpardonable. 21-year-old Nathan
:04:26. > :04:28.Allen was sentenced to community service for assaulting the
:04:29. > :04:33.three-week old girl while she was in his care at a house in Aberdeen in
:04:34. > :04:37.November last year. The infant suffered a brain haemorrhage. The
:04:38. > :04:44.children's charity NSPCC Scotland said tonight it believed Allen
:04:45. > :04:49.should have been jailed. A man has been convicted of killing
:04:50. > :04:53.the former leader of a council with a single punch. John Morrison had
:04:54. > :04:56.been on a Christmas night out with friends when he was attacked by
:04:57. > :04:59.Darren Murphy in Glasgow city centre. The High Court heard that if
:05:00. > :05:03.you went to a nightclub with friends, leaving his victim dying.
:05:04. > :05:06.He will be sentenced next month. He's described as the most severely
:05:07. > :05:10.affected surviving patient of the worst strain of ecoli and has been
:05:11. > :05:18.left deaf, blind and needing almost daily dialysis.
:05:19. > :05:22.Now the mother of three-year-old Bo Cox, who caught the bug at a nursery
:05:23. > :05:28.in Aberdeenshire, is calling for better education about the 0157
:05:29. > :05:33.bacteria. It's one of the things he craves the
:05:34. > :05:38.most but he can have only 200 millimetres of water a day. That is
:05:39. > :05:43.all he wants. Controlling his water intake is the tip of the iceberg for
:05:44. > :05:47.him. He has had 16 operations. His kidneys don't function. Only a
:05:48. > :05:54.quarter of his bowel is left. He is both blind and deaf. He can often be
:05:55. > :06:01.vomiting. With diarrhoea, he can have up to 20 nappies a day. Today,
:06:02. > :06:05.he faces two and a half hours of dialysis to remove toxins from his
:06:06. > :06:11.blood. It is the job his kidneys should perform but they don't work.
:06:12. > :06:18.I'm going to attach him to his machine. These are the lines that
:06:19. > :06:22.take the blood out of him, through the machine where the dialysis takes
:06:23. > :06:27.place, and then give it back. This one takes the blood out and this one
:06:28. > :06:32.gives the blood back. Until 18 months ago, he was a normal, healthy
:06:33. > :06:36.young boy. This is him on holiday just three weeks before the
:06:37. > :06:42.infection. For children and two adults contracted the bacteria at
:06:43. > :06:45.this nursery. Poor hand hygiene was blamed and within a few days, the
:06:46. > :06:55.youngster was being treated in intensive care. His consultant says
:06:56. > :06:58.it has caused massive damage. Many children get these infections but
:06:59. > :07:04.not many need dialysis and even fewer of them end up as severely
:07:05. > :07:08.affected us this. He is probably the most severely affected surviving
:07:09. > :07:13.patient we've ever had. He occasionally gets home. But the
:07:14. > :07:17.authorities are still setting up a care package. His needs are complex
:07:18. > :07:23.but most agree that his quality of life would be improved in a family
:07:24. > :07:27.environment. There are so many interventions. Minor things but it
:07:28. > :07:33.creates such a big picture of misery for him. This is the happiest he
:07:34. > :07:38.will be, when he is outside playing like this. Lucy is angry at what
:07:39. > :07:45.happened but once nursery providers to learn from them how devastating
:07:46. > :07:49.it can be. Simple hand washing techniques to stop its spread are

:08:48. > :08:51.Let's remember that this was Britain's worst ever terrorist
:08:52. > :08:56.atrocity. It was the UK's single loss of life. It truly was a
:08:57. > :09:03.massive, massive event of historical proportions. 270 dead, 259 of them
:09:04. > :09:11.on the plane. 11 poor souls in Lockerbie, whose homes were
:09:12. > :09:17.obliterated. It has rarely been far from the headlines.
:09:18. > :09:21.This was the site I encountered when I got to Lockerbie, an hour after
:09:22. > :09:26.the plane came down. I had arrived thinking that a military jet had
:09:27. > :09:30.crashed. But the Inferno, the spread of wreckage and debris, the chaos
:09:31. > :09:37.and confusion quickly pointed me towards the shocking truth. After a
:09:38. > :09:41.while, I had to file a radio report. No Bowbelle phones in those
:09:42. > :09:48.days. On a whim, I decided to stop on this flyover. I spoke into my
:09:49. > :09:53.microphone and say what I could see. All over the time, there is a pall
:09:54. > :09:56.of smoke and the smell of burning is in the air. The debris from the
:09:57. > :10:02.plane crash appears to have spread over a wide area of the time. My
:10:03. > :10:08.first of countless reports from and about Lockerbie. I recall walking
:10:09. > :10:12.through the still smoking devastation of Sherwood Crescent.
:10:13. > :10:15.The heartbreak of funerals. Respectful repatriation of foreign
:10:16. > :10:21.victims. The poignancy of shop services. The erection and
:10:22. > :10:25.dedication of memorials. I was at Arlington in 1995, when President
:10:26. > :10:32.Clinton dedicated the Panhandle memorial cairn. I was at in - I was
:10:33. > :10:38.in the Netherlands in 2000, for the trial of a man and back for his
:10:39. > :10:42.appeal a year later. I have reported on all the big anniversaries, the
:10:43. > :10:49.first, the fifth, the 10th, the 20th. Now, a quarter of a century
:10:50. > :10:55.has passed and I wonder yet again if this finally is the watershed. Many
:10:56. > :11:00.in Lockerbie hope it is. Time to move on. Keep the positives like the
:11:01. > :11:03.Lockerbie scholarships, like the links with the states, like the good
:11:04. > :11:09.things that have come out of the events. But let Lockerbie move on.
:11:10. > :11:13.Tomorrow, there will be a wreath-laying at the Garden of
:11:14. > :11:15.remembrance, attended by that first Minister and representatives of the
:11:16. > :11:22.UK and American governments. Later, a short service in the church in the
:11:23. > :11:26.town centre. Will this be the last big set piece commemoration? We just
:11:27. > :11:31.don't know yet but if it is, it is not a sign that the community here
:11:32. > :11:38.is about to forget. They will not. Their pledge to the victims is, we
:11:39. > :11:42.will always be here for you. The family of a security guard from
:11:43. > :11:48.Argyll, who has been detailed in jail in India say they are now
:11:49. > :11:51.worried about his health. He and 34 colleagues have been refused bail on
:11:52. > :11:59.four occasions. He is being treated in hospital and there have been no
:12:00. > :12:02.formal charges brought. Jamie Ifan should be looking forward
:12:03. > :12:06.to a festive pint with his brother, Billy. But he has still got no idea
:12:07. > :12:12.when his younger brother will be home. Billy Irving was working as an
:12:13. > :12:15.anti-piracy guard while international security company when
:12:16. > :12:20.he was arrested with the other security guards and crew on board
:12:21. > :12:25.the company vessel in the Indian port in October. In jail, he has
:12:26. > :12:31.been ill and lost weight. The family is desperate for more consular
:12:32. > :12:34.assistance. He was in hospital on the 27th of November, when he was
:12:35. > :12:40.diagnosed with dysentery. It took him two days to visit to see how he
:12:41. > :12:44.was. From that stage on, his last visit was just yesterday. During
:12:45. > :12:52.that period, from his last and first visit, he has been in hospital. It's
:12:53. > :12:56.not the best situation. Billy 's employers are outraged that bail has
:12:57. > :12:58.been refused and say the mystifying investigation by Indian authorities
:12:59. > :13:05.has dragged on for two months already, while the company continues
:13:06. > :13:09.to languish in despicable and barbaric conditions at Indian
:13:10. > :13:13.prisons. The men, including five other Britons, are being held on
:13:14. > :13:17.suspicion of the unauthorised possession of 31 assault rifles and
:13:18. > :13:20.ammunition, and the illegal procurement of diesel but no charges
:13:21. > :13:23.have been brought so far. The family hasn't been able to see that speak
:13:24. > :13:27.to Billy since his arrest and with little progress through the courts,
:13:28. > :13:34.it's going to be an anxious Christmas. Billy is very social.
:13:35. > :13:45.It's the highlight of his character. Not having him back for Christmas is
:13:46. > :13:48.going to leave a whole. The It's the start of the Christmas holidays and
:13:49. > :13:52.the big festive getaway is underway. Thousands of people are heading off
:13:53. > :13:57.to visit family and friends for the festive season. Lisa Summers is at
:13:58. > :14:02.Edinburgh Airport. It is officially on the list for it
:14:03. > :14:07.those of us trying to get somewhere. There expecting 50,000 people to
:14:08. > :14:11.travel here over the next couple of days. Glasgow airport says it has
:14:12. > :14:16.been the busiest Christmas in five years. It is a headache getting
:14:17. > :14:22.ready to travel for the best of it is beginning. Let's look at the
:14:23. > :14:26.picture across Scotland. The backing is done and it is time to get away.
:14:27. > :14:34.Have you asked for something special from Santa? Yes. We are going to

:15:04. > :15:07.Today will be the last day of school and for a lot of people it is a
:15:08. > :15:13.steal for it. We're expecting it to get more busy over the weekend. It
:15:14. > :15:19.has been quite a steady picture on the roads. This is Scotland's
:15:20. > :15:23.transport nerve centre, so if you are planning a journey this weekend,
:15:24. > :15:27.teams of experts here will be monitoring every main road to 24

:16:01. > :16:09.Pete C. We are in the midst of rotten
:16:10. > :16:18.weather at the moment and there are warnings for Scotland, mostly for

:18:10. > :18:12.heart transplant, he's looking forward to spending Christmas with
:18:13. > :18:18.his new wife and family. Julie Peacock reports.
:18:19. > :18:21.Meeting up with old friends for Christmas, it is something that
:18:22. > :18:27.Brown would not have dared to dream about just a few weeks ago. Just the
:18:28. > :18:31.day after this photo was taken in July, brining suffered a severe
:18:32. > :18:41.heart attack. After surgery, he was kept alive using artificial hearts
:18:42. > :18:46.until the transplant was found. One of the doctors treating me describe
:18:47. > :18:51.me as a Lazarus case for the ambled through. It was not an accident, it
:18:52. > :18:54.was due to the work of the team. Doctor C of this had happened three
:18:55. > :18:59.years ago, things would have been very different. Brian would have had
:19:00. > :19:06.no chance of surviving for five years ago. Now we have these new
:19:07. > :19:10.devices, we can reset the people with resuscitation devices and
:19:11. > :19:14.mechanical hearts that just didn't exist a few years ago. But it was
:19:15. > :19:19.the heart transplant that gave Brian a second chance at life. As he and
:19:20. > :19:26.his girlfriend this the agonising wait for a transplant, they decided
:19:27. > :19:29.to get married. They advised us we could not wait much longer. It
:19:30. > :19:32.proved to be a turning point, because almost immediately after the
:19:33. > :19:37.wedding, my health started to improve, so I think that this did my
:19:38. > :19:42.strength and it was really just a matter of weeks after that when I
:19:43. > :19:45.got the all clear to have the heart transplant. I was not going to
:19:46. > :19:53.survive without it, that was very clear, so it gave me new life. Brian
:19:54. > :19:56.still has some way to go before he's back to full fitness, but doctors
:19:57. > :20:03.believe that in time you'll be able to a full and active life.
:20:04. > :20:07.Let's get the sport now, from Rhona. The Scot who led Cardiff to the
:20:08. > :20:10.English Premier League for the first time stands on the verge of the sack
:20:11. > :20:19.tonight. There's been widespread condemnation of his treatment. Malky
:20:20. > :20:22.Mackay is expected to be dismissed by the club's Malaysian owner
:20:23. > :20:26.Vincent Tan in the next 24 hours. Our senior football reporter

:20:36. > :20:41.English top flight for the first in 51 years. Although, Malky Mackay's
:20:42. > :20:48.relationship with this man has broken down. The winners grapes I
:20:49. > :20:53.principally the results. Cardiff are currently 15th, and transfers, the
:20:54. > :21:04.players signed and money spent, ?50 million in total. It cannot be
:21:05. > :21:08.decision about football, because Malky has done everything right. He
:21:09. > :21:16.has them really competitive, he has a stadium and eating right behind
:21:17. > :21:32.him. There having problems when the change that colours were changed.
:21:33. > :21:42.Back on but also by Mackay's and stamping ground, his treatment has
:21:43. > :21:45.also been greeted with amusement. I don't see what the problem is with
:21:46. > :21:51.him and by the owner wants to get involved in such a way that is
:21:52. > :21:55.disruptive to what Malky and his team have been doing, because it has
:21:56. > :22:01.been a real success story this season. His achievements have not
:22:02. > :22:07.been enough to satisfy Ten, who obviously thinks he deserves no
:22:08. > :22:11.return on his investment. The Celtic manager Neil Lennon has
:22:12. > :22:14.conceded it is becoming more likely that two of his key players are
:22:15. > :22:17.likely to leave the club next summer. Joe Ledley has made 98

:23:05. > :23:08.first appearance. He intends to remain in response, but on the
:23:09. > :23:16.sidelines. I would love to stay in this sport and that is something we
