:00:00. > :00:13.from the Atlantic. Thank you very much. That's it from us. On BBC
:00:14. > :00:20.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. A blow to this year's Commonwealth
:00:21. > :00:25.Games in Glasgow. Jessica Ennis is the Olympic
:00:26. > :00:27.Champion. Jessica Ennis-Hill, one of the
:00:28. > :00:32.world's best-known athletes, is pregnant and will not compete. Ennis
:00:33. > :00:34.is not the first high-profile athlete to withdraw. We'll assess
:00:35. > :00:38.the impact of her absence. Also on the programme. An inquiry
:00:39. > :00:45.hears of problems detected in this helicopter's gearbox days before it
:00:46. > :00:48.crashed into the sea killing 16 men. This man was enjoying a night out
:00:49. > :00:54.when he was knocked down and killed by this drunk driver who has been
:00:55. > :00:59.jailed for five years. If you are aware of anybody about to drive
:01:00. > :01:03.after drinking alcohol, please do everything in your power to stop
:01:04. > :01:08.them. Also this evening. The full story of
:01:09. > :01:11.a Glasgow family's appeal for the release of their father who is being
:01:12. > :01:15.held in a Pakistani prison. And we're in Melbourne with Andy
:01:16. > :01:16.Murray as he prepares for the first Grand Slam event of the tennis
:01:17. > :01:26.season. She was the star of the Olympics and
:01:27. > :01:28.is an ambassador for the Commonwealth Games but Jessica
:01:29. > :01:34.Ennis-Hill won't be coming to Glasgow this summer because she is
:01:35. > :01:37.pregnant. Ennis-Hill is the first big name athlete to pull out of the
:01:38. > :01:40.competition, and with other stars hedging their bets, could this be a
:01:41. > :01:43.blow for organisers? Our Commowealth Games reporter Lisa Summers has
:01:44. > :01:48.more. The big names that made the
:01:49. > :01:53.Olympics, but are they coming to Glasgow? Jessica Ennis-Hill is the
:01:54. > :01:58.first star to say she will not be coming to the games, but there are
:01:59. > :02:05.doubts about Mo Farah who has said the London Marathon is his priority.
:02:06. > :02:10.And Usain Bolt is keeping very quiet about whether we will see him
:02:11. > :02:15.competing this summer. Sir Chris Hoy declared his retirement early on.
:02:16. > :02:19.Jessica Ennis-Hill is an ambassador for the Commonwealth Games and says
:02:20. > :02:25.it is hard to know she will not compete. This will be a big blow for
:02:26. > :02:37.organisers, although they were quick to say congratulations. Most of the
:02:38. > :02:41.venues are up and running and the tickets are sold, but it is the
:02:42. > :02:50.opportunities for global business and tourism. Every very small number
:02:51. > :02:53.of viewers would have tuned in just to see those particular elite
:02:54. > :02:58.athletes. People who are going to watch the Commonwealth Games will
:02:59. > :03:05.watch it because it is on the television enemy. The absence of
:03:06. > :03:13.megastars, or potential absence, I am not sure it will make a
:03:14. > :03:15.significant difference. Lee McConnell has started back in
:03:16. > :03:20.training just nine weeks after her baby was born. It is an important
:03:21. > :03:29.event for athletes. Any major championship is. Every year,
:03:30. > :03:34.athletes like a goal. The Commonwealth games this year is that
:03:35. > :03:40.goal. The man in charge of the Scottish team says that a major
:03:41. > :03:50.event must not rely on big names to make it a success. Athletes will
:03:51. > :03:54.respond to the home crowd. It is one of the great things about sport, you
:03:55. > :04:01.turn up, you think you know what is going to happen, but you never
:04:02. > :04:06.know. It will be a great games. It may be a worry for the games
:04:07. > :04:11.organisers, but it could be an opportunity for someone else to
:04:12. > :04:15.shine. The gearbox of a helicopter which
:04:16. > :04:18.crashed into the North Sea killing 16 men was almost fully replaced a
:04:19. > :04:21.year before the accident. A fatal accident inquiry has been hearing
:04:22. > :04:26.that the gearbox failed on April the first 2009 causing the Super Puma to
:04:27. > :04:29.crash. Kevin Keane is at the Town House on Aberdeen where the inquiry
:04:30. > :04:38.is taking place. This came from the maintenance
:04:39. > :04:42.manager at Bond helicopters who was giving evidence this afternoon. He
:04:43. > :04:47.was asked to take the enquiry through a series of complex
:04:48. > :04:52.documents about the maintenance history of this particular flight.
:04:53. > :04:58.It showed that between the ninth and 11th of April 2008, missed all of
:04:59. > :05:02.the main gearbox on the helicopter was replaced. The final component
:05:03. > :05:13.which was not replaced was swapped about six months later. All other of
:05:14. > :05:17.the gearbox is expected to have a life of about 2000 hours. We know
:05:18. > :05:20.that it was the main gearbox that was at fault when the crash
:05:21. > :05:25.happened. He was asked whether he could tell whether it was replaced
:05:26. > :05:29.by a new gearbox or one that had been overhauled, but he said he
:05:30. > :05:34.could not help the information given. We also heard from another
:05:35. > :05:40.engineer who was on duty around the time just before the crash happened
:05:41. > :05:56.when a fault was discovered in that mean gearbox. A computer system had
:05:57. > :06:00.flagged it up. -- that main gearbox. They checked over the helicopter
:06:01. > :06:06.when it returned, it was clear to fly, but then crashed.
:06:07. > :06:09.A compensation claim has been lodged against the operators of a police
:06:10. > :06:19.helicopter which crashed in Glasgow last year. Ten people died when the
:06:20. > :06:24.Eurocopter EC 135 fell onto the roof of the Clutha Bar in the city centre
:06:25. > :06:28.on November the 29th. An inquiry into the cause of the crash is
:06:29. > :06:32.continuing. Gavin Fulton was on his way home to
:06:33. > :06:35.his family after a Christmas night out with friends. As he walked down
:06:36. > :06:39.Dundas Street in Edinburgh, a car driven by a drunk driver mounted the
:06:40. > :06:43.pavement and ran him down. He was pronounced dead a few hours later.
:06:44. > :06:46.Today the man at the wheel of the car was jailed for five years.
:06:47. > :06:49.Cameron Buttle reports from the High Court in Edinburgh.
:06:50. > :06:55.Keith McCardle had had four drinks on the night he killed Gavin Fulton,
:06:56. > :06:59.but they had put him 1.5 times over the legal drink drive limit.
:07:00. > :07:06.Witnesses said he was out of control when he swerved across the road and
:07:07. > :07:14.mounted the pavement. Today, McArdle was sentenced to five years in jail.
:07:15. > :07:22.If you are aware of anybody about to drive after drinking alcohol, please
:07:23. > :07:32.do everything in your power to stop them. Remember, if you do nothing,
:07:33. > :07:37.you must share the responsibility. We believe the sentence properly
:07:38. > :07:42.punishes the offender, but it also publishes his family and friends so
:07:43. > :07:49.this sickening carousel of misery punishes a widening group of people.
:07:50. > :07:54.One year on, tributes so mark the spot where Gavin Fulton was killed.
:07:55. > :07:59.He was a popular man, a man with two young daughters, a man always
:08:00. > :08:04.willing to help other people. He was a man walking along the pavement,
:08:05. > :08:11.walking home to his family after a night out. His family seat they
:08:12. > :08:21.accept the sentence handed down by the judge. His father said he had no
:08:22. > :08:26.feelings about McArdle. We hope that you do's sentence. Someone somewhere
:08:27. > :08:33.from drinking and driver. -- that today's sentence. And save another
:08:34. > :08:37.innocent family from the trauma we have had to endure this year and for
:08:38. > :08:44.years to come. I beg you, do not drink and drive. McArdle was also
:08:45. > :08:46.banned from drinking and dry dash from driving for a further eight
:08:47. > :08:55.years. You're watching Reporting Scotland
:08:56. > :08:59.from the BBC. Still to come on the programme. The full weekend weather.
:09:00. > :09:02.In sport, we're in Melbourne assessing Andy Murray's Australian
:09:03. > :09:05.Open prospects with a previous winner. And we'll hear from both
:09:06. > :09:07.managers ahead of tonight's match in the Scottish Premiership. See you
:09:08. > :09:10.soon. A man accused of murdering his
:09:11. > :09:17.mother told police she was hard work and a difficult person. Seamus
:09:18. > :09:24.Dunleavy reported his mother missing on third July last year. Her remains
:09:25. > :09:27.were found on Corstorphine Hill in Edinburgh on 6th of June. Catriona
:09:28. > :09:32.Renton was in court. Philomena Dunleavy had been staying
:09:33. > :09:38.with her son at his Edinburgh flat. She went into Portobello police
:09:39. > :09:47.station asking about finding a cheap room for the night. She said her son
:09:48. > :09:53.had had an episode and she walked away from her son when he did this.
:09:54. > :09:59.She was fined in a confused state by the police later that day. James
:10:00. > :10:02.Dunleavy is accused of murdering his mother and burying her body on
:10:03. > :10:13.Corstorphine Hill last year. The court heard from a shopkeeper below
:10:14. > :10:19.the flat. James Dunleavy came into his shop and commented on the image
:10:20. > :10:32.on the front of a newspaper. He said, it's nothing like that person.
:10:33. > :10:40.He reported his mother by -- missing. A police officer came to
:10:41. > :10:44.his flat to take a statement. James Dunleavy said that his mother was
:10:45. > :10:52.hard work and difficult to look after. He said he got up one morning
:10:53. > :10:59.and she was gone and had not left a note. Police searched his flat.
:11:00. > :11:05.Despite a careful scientific examination, over a period of days
:11:06. > :11:11.using up-to-date scientific equipment, nothing was found other
:11:12. > :11:21.than a couple of blood sports. James Dunleavy denies murdering his
:11:22. > :11:24.mother. Police are investigating the
:11:25. > :11:27.discovery of human remains near a village in Argyll. The remains were
:11:28. > :11:30.discovered near Arrochar at the north end of Loch Long yesterday.
:11:31. > :11:34.Inquiries are at an early stage and it is not known whether the badly
:11:35. > :11:37.decomposed body is a man or woman. BBC Scotland understands that the
:11:38. > :11:41.remains are not those of murdered Edinburgh woman Suzanne Pilley.
:11:42. > :11:44.A scheme to protect our national dram from fake products has been
:11:45. > :11:47.launched by the Government and the whisky industry. Anyone involved in
:11:48. > :11:50.producing Scotch whisky will have to sign up to a new set of quality
:11:51. > :12:00.standards enforced by Government inspectors. Craig Anderson reports.
:12:01. > :12:04.Want to call your dram Scotch whiskey? Then prepare yourself for a
:12:05. > :12:16.visit from the W police. Every stage in the production process musty meet
:12:17. > :12:19.-- must meet strict guidelines. It is all about combating fraud, fakers
:12:20. > :12:30.and counterfeit whiskey sold here and abroad. This scheme will make it
:12:31. > :12:42.much easier to prove that Scotch whiskey is Scotch whiskey. There was
:12:43. > :12:51.already a measure of legal protection in Europe for Scotch. The
:12:52. > :12:54.new regulations are designed to reinforce that protection and
:12:55. > :12:59.standards of production from the still to the glass. Even blenders
:13:00. > :13:03.and bottlers abroad will have to sign up. It is a significant problem
:13:04. > :13:11.in places because Scotch is an aspirational brand. People want to
:13:12. > :13:23.make money out of it. If they can do that without using the genuine
:13:24. > :13:25.article, but will happen. It is the impact it will have on your
:13:26. > :13:31.reputation for the future. This scheme could extend towards Irish
:13:32. > :13:45.whiskey produced in Northern Ireland and Somerset cider. It is designed
:13:46. > :13:49.to cut down on the counterfeiters. The family of a British man arrested
:13:50. > :13:52.in Pakistan for posing as a Muslim say they want the government to help
:13:53. > :13:55.bring him back to the UK. 72-year-old Masood Ahmad is an
:13:56. > :13:59.Ahmadi Muslim, a sect that considers itself a part of Islam but has been
:14:00. > :14:02.declared non-Muslim by the Pakistani government. Mr Ahmad has now twice
:14:03. > :14:05.been refused bail and his family, who live in Glasgow, want further
:14:06. > :14:08.help from the British Government to get him released. Athar Ahmad
:14:09. > :14:13.reports. This is the moment that got Masood
:14:14. > :14:17.Ahmad thrown into jail. He's speaking to people he thinks are
:14:18. > :14:20.patients in his homoeopathic clinic in Pakistan, but the whole thing is
:14:21. > :14:28.a setup to trick him into reading a verse from the Koran. He is then
:14:29. > :14:32.reported to police and arrested. He is a member of the minority Ahmadi
:14:33. > :14:38.community. The sect have been persecuted in Pakistan. In 2010,
:14:39. > :14:40.more than 90 people were killed in two mosque attacks in Lahore.They
:14:41. > :14:44.believe they have been targeted since being declared non-Muslim by
:14:45. > :14:47.the Pakistani government. Under Pakistan's blasphemy laws, Ahmadis
:14:48. > :14:53.can face three years in jail for calling themselves Muslims or
:14:54. > :14:56.reading the Koran. His children in Glasgow want the British government
:14:57. > :15:00.to do more and bring their father back to the UK. His son and daughter
:15:01. > :15:07.are distressed by what has happened to their father. I was shocked. How
:15:08. > :15:17.could that happen to my father? He is a very kind person. I feel, one
:15:18. > :15:20.side very hopeless and also angry. I want the British government to look
:15:21. > :15:28.at the matter and do anything for us because my father is in a very bad
:15:29. > :15:30.condition, his life is at risk. In a statement, the foreign office
:15:31. > :15:45.told us... Despite this, his family want the
:15:46. > :15:49.foreign office to put further pressure on the Pakistani
:15:50. > :15:51.government. They hope their father will be reunited with them in the

:20:32. > :20:34.months off after injury but the coach of one of his main rivals
:20:35. > :20:37.thinks he can win the Australian Open. His first opponent is
:20:38. > :20:40.little-known Japanese player Go Soeda, but tougher matches lie
:20:41. > :21:13.ahead. # Advance Australia fair #.
:21:14. > :21:16.Yes, Australia and Melbourne in particular have been happy hunting
:21:17. > :21:21.grounds for Andy Murray. He has already had a taste of the main show
:21:22. > :21:26.court here, practising in the heat of the Rod Leiva arena, where he is
:21:27. > :21:30.contested three out of the last four finals. The problem is he keeps
:21:31. > :21:34.running into this guy. Novak Djokovic just won't let the trophy
:21:35. > :21:38.go. The defending champion has won it for the last three years, beating
:21:39. > :21:47.Andy Murray each time along the way. And he clearly enjoys the company of
:21:48. > :21:50.ladies' champion Victoria Azarenka. Djokovic's new coach watched the
:21:51. > :21:54.draw and expect Andy Murray to do well despite just returning from
:21:55. > :22:01.back surgery. He knows exactly how to play well in this tournament. He
:22:02. > :22:05.loves Australia. I am sure he will be well prepared. Do you think he
:22:06. > :22:11.can win it having been out so long? Whoever has won an open or the
:22:12. > :22:17.Australian -- or Wimbledon can win the Australian Open, yes. The
:22:18. > :22:24.Wimbledon champion warmed up for his opening match by playing exhibition
:22:25. > :22:32.match against Lleyton Hewitt. He lost 7-6, 7-6, but the time on court
:22:33. > :22:36.will help him greatly. Friday night football hits Aberdeen tonight and
:22:37. > :22:40.so do Hibernian. The Terry Butcher Hibs have lost just once in nine
:22:41. > :22:44.matches and have climbed into the premiership's top six. The Dons are
:22:45. > :22:47.going well, winning seven of their last eight and sitting second in the
:22:48. > :22:52.league. Both managers are predicting it could be a night to remember. The
:22:53. > :22:56.biggest compliment I can pay Terry Butcher and his team is there is no
:22:57. > :23:04.surprise they have improved. He finds ways to win games, Terry, and
:23:05. > :23:09.his players, they are well school. It is a great test to go up there
:23:10. > :23:15.and play. It was a good game against Inverness Caley Thistle and I expect
:23:16. > :23:18.more of the same. It is two clubs with good support. Hopefully both
:23:19. > :23:22.sets of supporters come out in good numbers and make the game that bit

:25:46. > :25:50.western parts of the country. Elsewhere, generally dry, clear,
:25:51. > :25:54.cold and frosty. There will be a rash of showers across the west and
:25:55. > :25:58.north-west, wintry on the hills and to lower levels rain. It will be a
:25:59. > :26:03.cold night, temperatures in towns and cities not far off the freezing
:26:04. > :26:07.mark and some rural parts of Aberdeen and Perthshire may be down
:26:08. > :26:12.to -4-macro. Tomorrow morning it is a cold, bright, sunny start for
:26:13. > :26:15.money. I see in the West with showers continuing to be brought in
:26:16. > :26:19.on the westerly breeze. For many, Saturday is not too bad, generally
:26:20. > :26:24.dry and bright. Plenty of sunshine around but it will be rather cool.
:26:25. > :26:27.Temperatures by mid-afternoon maybe just five or six Celsius at best.
:26:28. > :26:35.12-macro showers in towards the western but generally rain across
:26:36. > :26:39.the high ground. Through Orkney and Shetland, frequent showers here but
:26:40. > :26:44.certainly through parts of marry, Aberdeenshire, in towards
:26:45. > :26:47.Perthshire, down towards the capital and the Lothians and the Borders,
:26:48. > :26:52.bright and sunny for you. Chilly, yes, but plenty of usable weather
:26:53. > :26:57.before -- for being outside. Fewer hill walking or climbing we have
:26:58. > :27:05.wintry showers across the Northwest. There's a -- further south, dry and
:27:06. > :27:08.bright. Plenty of crisp, winter sunshine but it will be chilly and
:27:09. > :27:12.windy across the Cairngorms at first but easing down as we had through
:27:13. > :27:15.the afternoon. If you are thinking about heading to the slopes
:27:16. > :27:18.tomorrow, plenty of snow up there. It will be bright and cold and any
:27:19. > :27:22.stronger winds in the morning tend to ease down by the afternoon. Best
:27:23. > :27:26.to check what runs are opening before setting off. The rest of the
:27:27. > :27:30.afternoon and into the evening, holding on to that theme. A number
:27:31. > :27:36.of showers at times, cold and frosty, more widespread mist and
:27:37. > :27:40.fog. Full Sunday, high-pressure holding onto low-pressure waiting in

:27:45. > :27:47.start. Some sunshine and by mid to late afternoon clouding over with
:27:48. > :27:52.rain in the West and that rain makes its way eastwards as we overnight.
:27:53. > :27:56.By Monday it should have cleared and it is an east-west split. The best
:27:57. > :28:00.of the sunshine in the East was cloudy conditions in the West and
:28:01. > :28:05.showers and not as cold as this coming weekend. That is Reporting
