:00:00. > :00:00.Thousands of protest to remain in Independence Square tonight,
:00:00. > :00:14.It's a silver for Britain's men curlers but disappointment as the
:00:15. > :00:25.Canadians overwhelm them to take gold in Sochi.
:00:26. > :00:31.I just feel so disappointed for not getting the gold medal. I will
:00:32. > :00:34.appreciate that and another five minutes.
:00:35. > :00:37.And Scots speed skater Elise Christie crashes out of her semi
:00:38. > :00:43.final and is disqualified for a third time.
:00:44. > :00:45.We'll be live in Sochi with the latest.
:00:46. > :00:48.Also on the programme, a private school in Aberdeen is closed by
:00:49. > :00:52.ministers after an investigation into the safety and care of children
:00:53. > :00:56.there. Secure in his uncle's arms - a baby
:00:57. > :01:03.badly burned in a gas explosion in Pakistan arrives in Glasgow for
:01:04. > :01:09.treatment. And join me a little later where
:01:10. > :01:11.Scotland are preparing to do battle for some much needed Six Nations
:01:12. > :01:24.pride. Good evening. There's been double
:01:25. > :01:27.disappointment for Scots competing at the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
:01:28. > :01:32.David Murdoch's all-Scottish curling team lost their gold medal match
:01:33. > :01:35.against Canada. And in the last hour, there was more disappointment
:01:36. > :01:37.for Livingston's Elise Christie who was disqualified in controversial
:01:38. > :01:43.fashion in her semi final. David McDaid is in Sochi for us now.
:01:44. > :01:53.We'll get to the curling in a minute, David, but Elise Christie.
:01:54. > :01:58.What happened? This was the distance at which she
:01:59. > :02:05.was expected to take a medal, perhaps the cold. This was the 1000
:02:06. > :02:14.metres at which she is the European champion. Going into the last lap,
:02:15. > :02:20.she was second when it appeared that she was clipped by a Chinese athlete
:02:21. > :02:24.from behind. That said both the athletes crashing into the side
:02:25. > :02:31.barriers. There was some discussion afterwards as to what happened and
:02:32. > :02:38.after some discussion between the various judges, they awarded Elise
:02:39. > :02:42.Christie a penalty effectively disqualifying her from the race.
:02:43. > :02:48.There was a lot of mystification as to what actually happened but we are
:02:49. > :02:52.perhaps hearing she may have changed lanes at the wrong time. Triple
:02:53. > :02:59.disappointment now for Elise Christie, going home now with
:03:00. > :03:07.nothing and afterwards she spoke to BBC sport. I never in 100 years
:03:08. > :03:13.expected to be penalised. I don't understand it. With the 500, I knew
:03:14. > :03:20.there was a chance, it was different, but I am devastated. I
:03:21. > :03:27.have spent all this time training. As you could see, I was getting so
:03:28. > :03:35.strongly. I had not even given it everything yet. The men's curling
:03:36. > :03:40.team won silver but gold never really looked a possibility? Just
:03:41. > :03:47.finished a couple of hours ago behind me. It was a close match
:03:48. > :03:53.between Britain and Canada but today it was quite a different affair.
:03:54. > :03:58.Great Britain found themselves 6-1 down and after that it was a
:03:59. > :04:04.struggle but they do get the silver and added to the women's bronze it
:04:05. > :04:06.has been an excellent tournament for Great Britain and Scotland's
:04:07. > :04:20.curling. In Lockerbie, they had gathered
:04:21. > :04:32.hoping to celebrate gold one by one of the Roman. -- their own. Their
:04:33. > :04:40.hopes were quickly dashed as Canada took dominance to deny Great Britain
:04:41. > :04:46.the ultimate prize. After some dramatic matches, a comprehensive
:04:47. > :04:55.defeat by the favourites. It feels like a kick in the case just now. To
:04:56. > :05:02.be honest it has been an amazing week and we are so proud of the
:05:03. > :05:11.guys. We have fought through the play-offs and played some incredible
:05:12. > :05:18.games to get into this final. Gold may have gone but 2000 miles
:05:19. > :05:23.away they were partying anyway. The first men's curling medal in 80
:05:24. > :05:31.years. They have done Scotland than Great Britain proud. A silver medal
:05:32. > :05:37.is a huge success. The boys have not disgraced themselves and tried their
:05:38. > :05:44.best and we cannot ask any more. A very proud Canadian wife watches has
:05:45. > :05:52.achievements. I cannot wait to see him on the podium tomorrow. I am so
:05:53. > :05:57.excited. What have you made only support from home? It has been
:05:58. > :06:10.outrageous, I probably don't know the half of it. It is such a nice
:06:11. > :06:18.feeling. Now there hard work is over, the celebrations can begin.
:06:19. > :06:27.That silver medal takes Great Britain's tally to four medals, two
:06:28. > :06:32.of them one by Scots. Stuart Benson from Scotland as part of the
:06:33. > :06:34.bobsleigh team and they go on Sunday and many are tipping them to win a
:06:35. > :06:37.medal. A private school in Aberdeen has
:06:38. > :06:39.been shut down by the Scottish government amid serious concerns
:06:40. > :06:42.about the safety and well-being of children. On Monday, the city
:06:43. > :06:47.council will re-open a mothballed primary school, for up to 125
:06:48. > :06:51.children from the Hamilton school. Our reporter Steven Duff is outside
:06:52. > :07:04.the school in the city's west end. Steven, a pretty drastic step?
:07:05. > :07:09.It is one month since allegations over the children here that Hamilton
:07:10. > :07:14.are silly and school emerged. Two members of staff are facing a report
:07:15. > :07:17.to the procurator fiscal after police enquiries and today the
:07:18. > :07:22.Scottish government decided to close the school and also the nursery. The
:07:23. > :07:28.Sheriff will take a decision on that next week. Inspectors say that on
:07:29. > :07:33.two occasions while in classrooms they had to step in because of fears
:07:34. > :07:37.over the health and safety of children, and they are assuming they
:07:38. > :07:41.are issuing three other child protection is used to police. This
:07:42. > :07:45.has only happened once in Scotland in the last ten years and the
:07:46. > :07:52.minister who took the decision said he had no other option. We received
:07:53. > :07:58.a report from the education inspectors which makes very clear
:07:59. > :08:04.that they are not confident about the safety of the children and the
:08:05. > :08:08.school, the welfare of the children. That left us with absolutely no
:08:09. > :08:16.choice but to make sure the school is closed. What will this mean for
:08:17. > :08:23.the children in the school? There was a lot of tears as parents picked
:08:24. > :08:29.up the children today. Parents said they had been left shell-shocked.
:08:30. > :08:36.Aberdeen City Council has stepped in and is opening a mothballed,
:08:37. > :08:42.recently closed primary school. A meeting will be held for concerned
:08:43. > :08:46.parents tomorrow morning. The school itself says it has been left stunned
:08:47. > :08:47.by the decision and is considering whether to appeal.
:08:48. > :08:50.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on
:08:51. > :08:53.tonight's programme. This unique portrait of Bonnie

:09:09. > :09:13.A baby boy, who was badly burned in a gas explosion at his home in
:09:14. > :09:23.Pakistan, has arrived in Scotland for specialist treatment. The rest
:09:24. > :09:26.of Mohammad Sudais's family was killed in the blast. The child's
:09:27. > :09:29.uncle, who lives in Glasgow, has campaigned to bring him here, and
:09:30. > :09:33.the Scottish government is paying for his treatment. You may find some
:09:34. > :09:38.of the images in Catriona Renton's report distressing.
:09:39. > :09:43.After a long and difficult journey, baby Mohammad Sudais arrived in
:09:44. > :09:48.Glasgow airport yesterday evening with his uncle, now one of his
:09:49. > :09:52.closest remaining relatives. I am pleased he is here and there is
:09:53. > :09:59.going to be treated here. He met other members of his family,
:10:00. > :10:05.relieved he is now here. I feel grateful and amazed that I see him
:10:06. > :10:15.for the first time. Mohammad Sudais was just under two months old when a
:10:16. > :10:21.gas explosion killed his father, his mother and his 13-month-old brother.
:10:22. > :10:26.Mohammad Sudais survived but his uncle said he survived skin loss to
:10:27. > :10:31.his face, doctors in Pakistan said they could do no more for him but
:10:32. > :10:37.recommended the best gear was in Glasgow. He was taken to Yorkhill
:10:38. > :10:40.Hospital last night. The Scottish government are paying for his
:10:41. > :10:45.treatment and campaigners have raised almost ?30,000 for him. They
:10:46. > :10:53.say for now he is Scotland's baby and his uncle says he is already
:10:54. > :10:57.improving. He travelled for almost 15 hours and there is much better
:10:58. > :11:04.today and I would like to thank the hospital here, the doctors and
:11:05. > :11:07.nurses and the whole staff. You can see the smile on my face today
:11:08. > :11:14.because I know my nephew is in good hands. He is spending his second
:11:15. > :11:17.night here in Glasgow and doctors will continue to assess and over the
:11:18. > :11:22.weekend to determine exactly what kind of treatment he needs. They
:11:23. > :11:32.will then have a better idea of how long he will spend in hospital.
:11:33. > :11:35.Concerns are being raised from oil workers in the North East about
:11:36. > :11:38.plans to impose a size limit on those travelling offshore. It's one
:11:39. > :11:41.of a series of changes being put forward by the Civil Aviation
:11:42. > :11:44.Authority following a wide-ranging review. Unions say it's important
:11:45. > :11:54.nobody loses their job as a result. Kevin Keane reports.
:11:55. > :11:58.It is a routine part of the job for many thousands of offshore workers
:11:59. > :12:05.like this, taking the helicopter out to the platform, something they do
:12:06. > :12:12.every month. With each accident and fatality comes a reminder of the
:12:13. > :12:16.dangers involved. At this training facility, recent crashes are the
:12:17. > :12:24.front people's mines, the session today overrunning the cause of so
:12:25. > :12:32.many new questions. The plant size limit is one of the most contentious
:12:33. > :12:42.issues. They are obviously must be a weight limit but there are larger
:12:43. > :12:45.blokes, not so much heavier. I am not exactly small myself so maybe
:12:46. > :12:53.some people would be scared sitting beside me. Around 1000 people a week
:12:54. > :12:59.take part in training like this in centres across Aberdeen. It is a
:13:00. > :13:04.scenario nobody wants to find themselves in but everybody has to
:13:05. > :13:11.prepare for. Already many workers are doing something about it. This
:13:12. > :13:16.clinic has devised a diet plan for offshore workers and has seen
:13:17. > :13:30.enquiries rise, and many who have made the diet work believe it is
:13:31. > :13:35.beneficial to health and clear. It is limiting your career in the
:13:36. > :13:39.future, no question about it. It has been a disaster allowing people to
:13:40. > :13:46.go offshore when there has been a health and safety issue, so I think
:13:47. > :13:50.this will focus everybody's attention. This is no doubt this
:13:51. > :13:57.will be the most divisive change and representatives began discussion
:13:58. > :14:01.today to see how it would work. Campaigners are calling on MSPs to
:14:02. > :14:04.back a bill which would allow the NHS to reclaim the cost of treating
:14:05. > :14:07.asbestos-related conditions. If passed, they say the Scottish NHS
:14:08. > :14:25.could claim back around ?20 million a year from insurers. Scott worked
:14:26. > :14:36.as all life as he joined in. Without knowing it, as best odds were slowly
:14:37. > :14:45.destroying his lungs. Used to do all my own work in the house, I cannot
:14:46. > :14:54.know do that. But I try not to let it get me down. Despite his
:14:55. > :15:02.breathing difficulties, he joined campaigners today to support a new
:15:03. > :15:13.campaign which would allow the NHS to recover its costs. This bill
:15:14. > :15:24.would extend the legislation to people suffering conditions related
:15:25. > :15:33.to asbestos. Experts are saying they are already seeing an increase in
:15:34. > :15:37.patients. It would be very helpful to put some of that money back and
:15:38. > :15:50.it would allow us to provide better services. The insurers responsible
:15:51. > :15:55.neglected to comment today. Scott is simply looking for the compensation
:15:56. > :16:01.he would have got, but could not because most of his past employers
:16:02. > :16:04.have since stopped training. A look at some other stories from
:16:05. > :16:14.across Scotland this Friday evening... A university lab with
:16:15. > :16:22.dirty play stations has been unveiled at Dundee University. And
:16:23. > :16:34.you campaigning courage and people to visit Edinburgh city centre will
:16:35. > :16:38.boost trade by millions of pounds. Television adverts, posters and
:16:39. > :16:44.social media will all help promote the campaign. I think there has been
:16:45. > :16:53.a problem in people being able to move about the city. I think people
:16:54. > :16:59.have forgotten, or maybe don't even know about some of the heading gems
:17:00. > :17:07.that we have. The discovery offers best odds has stop the demolition of
:17:08. > :17:15.a block of flats because of the unexpected find asbestos of. And you

:17:32. > :17:37.processes for people to follow. It will make life a lot much easier for
:17:38. > :17:40.them. A lost portrait of Bonnie Prince
:17:41. > :17:44.Charlie has been discovered in Scotland. The painting is the only
:17:45. > :17:48.one known to have been from his life in Britain, and was painted in
:17:49. > :17:55.Edinburgh in 1745, the year he launched his ill-fated invasion of
:17:56. > :18:00.England. They are paintings of him as a young boy and portraits of him
:18:01. > :18:06.in middle age, but no contemporary images of Bonnie Prince Charlie at
:18:07. > :18:20.the DataViz fame where thought to exist. Until now. This portrait was
:18:21. > :18:28.painted in 1745 in Edinburgh. Absolutely splendid. It has this
:18:29. > :18:34.tremendous immediacy. It is a wonderful record of this particular
:18:35. > :18:46.moment in time. For more than 250 years, it remained unseen in the
:18:47. > :18:50.Private collection. Until a BBC documentary team discovered its true
:18:51. > :18:56.significance. It certainly captures the Prince at his most romantic. At
:18:57. > :19:00.the time this was painted, he had just won the big battle outside
:19:01. > :19:05.Edinburgh. He was just about to take the decision to invade England. He
:19:06. > :19:14.was feeling fantastically confident and believe this is him at his
:19:15. > :19:18.pomp. After this was painted, things began to go wrong for him. It was
:19:19. > :19:30.thought it was painted at the Palace at Holyrood to house. This was meant
:19:31. > :19:35.to be a public relations spending, a portrait meant to be sent around the
:19:36. > :19:38.rest of England should Bonnie Prince Charlie have landed the English
:19:39. > :19:42.crown. And you can see the full story in a
:19:43. > :19:45.Culture Show Special, The Lost Portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie,
:19:46. > :19:53.tomorrow night at nine o'clock on BBC Two. Letters get the rest of the
:19:54. > :19:56.sport. If you have picked yourselves up
:19:57. > :20:00.from the disappointment of the speed skating, and I am not sure I have,
:20:01. > :20:03.we can talk rugby. We will not be disqualified from the Six Nations,
:20:04. > :20:06.but Scotland could finish last. After two heavy defeats, a win
:20:07. > :20:19.tomorrow in Italy could be crucial in avoiding that fate. In a city
:20:20. > :20:27.that stage the odd battle over the years, the Scottish foot soldiers
:20:28. > :20:30.arrived, looking for inspiration in victory, regardless of what the
:20:31. > :20:38.local people might think. We need to get some pride back and show the
:20:39. > :20:47.world that we can still play rugby. It is all about getting payback and
:20:48. > :20:54.the result will be fantastic. Some unwanted records have already been
:20:55. > :21:00.set this championship. It has led to strong words in another Scottish
:21:01. > :21:15.rugby. I can understand why people are angry. We have not done our jobs
:21:16. > :21:26.properly. Scotland lies victory in Italy came in 2006. For those
:21:27. > :21:30.training today, comes the challenge of facing the most experienced pack
:21:31. > :21:39.and rugby. They are an experienced team. It is all about a silencing
:21:40. > :21:45.the code. If we do what we need to do correctly, we should be all
:21:46. > :21:48.right. Rome has stage more than the odd important battle, but tomorrow,
:21:49. > :21:53.we will find out if Scotland are for the fight.
:21:54. > :21:55.Let us what cheery fare we can find elsewhere in Scottish sport!
:21:56. > :21:59.If Celtic's Fraser Forster does not concede a goal in the first 31
:22:00. > :22:02.minutes of their league match with Hearts tomorrow, he will set a new
:22:03. > :22:12.Scottish record for keeping his goal intact of 1,156 minutes. It would be
:22:13. > :22:19.a great record to break. It has not been easy. He has had to pull off
:22:20. > :22:21.some fantastic saves along the way. But he is almost the.
:22:22. > :22:24.Motherwell, fresh from beating Partick Thistle last week, will
:22:25. > :22:28.knock Aberdeen off second spot in the Premiership if they beat Dundee
:22:29. > :22:30.United away tonight. The Dons will be second again, regardless, if they
:22:31. > :22:34.win at Thistle tomorrow. And you can listen to live coverage
:22:35. > :22:38.of match on BBC Radio Scotland on digital and online in Sportsound,
:22:39. > :22:41.kick off 7.45pm. The show is on air now.
:22:42. > :22:45.Inverness boss John Hughes says left back Graham Shinnie should get a

:22:53. > :22:56.This was Pittodrie Stadium this morning, as tickets went on sale to
:22:57. > :22:59.Aberdeen fans for next month's League Cup final against Inverness.
:23:00. > :23:03.This is not the scamble for tickets in Inverness! It is last year's
:23:04. > :23:07.National Cross-Country Championships. This year's event is
:23:08. > :23:11.in Falkirk tomorrow and the start will be even more jam-packed, with a

:23:14. > :23:15.Andy Murray and his GB Davis Cup team-mates will play their
:23:16. > :23:20.quarterfinal against Italy on clay in Naples. It is Britain's first

:23:26. > :23:28.And more on the speed skating, the curling and other Scottish sport
:23:29. > :23:37.stories, 24 hours a day, on BBC Sport Scotland's website. That is it
:23:38. > :23:42.for tonight. It started as a small celebration
:23:43. > :23:46.for film fans. Ten years on, the Glasgow Film Festival has become the
:23:47. > :23:58.third biggest in the UK with hundreds of events over the next ten
:23:59. > :24:08.days. The festival opened last night. It opened with the whimsical
:24:09. > :24:15.comedy grand hotel Budapest. One of his earlier films will be screened
:24:16. > :24:22.on board the tall ship. Frankenstein will be staged in the Kelvingrove
:24:23. > :24:27.Art Gallery, or descend into central station to this secret cinema.
:24:28. > :24:35.Despite not knowing what film will be shown, all four joints have
:24:36. > :24:42.already sold out. People want some added value to the experience. It is
:24:43. > :24:48.not just about the film. We have got a great reputation for providing
:24:49. > :24:53.this. I will not be treated in this manner! It is now the third biggest
:24:54. > :24:57.film Festival in the United Kingdom and the secret has been giving
:24:58. > :25:03.audiences what they want, further it is a film about Mary Queen of Scots
:25:04. > :25:12.Tory Scottish science-fiction thriller. It will always have a
:25:13. > :25:20.family unique feel about it, the Glasgow Film Festival. We want to
:25:21. > :25:27.keep the cost the same. It is about going to see great movies and also
:25:28. > :25:40.making friendships along the way. The rugby fit to match the films
:25:41. > :25:41.tonight, with pizza on the menu. C how the weather is shaping up for
:25:42. > :25:54.the weekend. At the moment, a fairly heavy band
:25:55. > :26:01.of showers across the Central Belt and North run hills. There is
:26:02. > :26:10.actually a lot of dry weather overnight. Holding onto the rain
:26:11. > :26:13.across the far North. Temperatures generally three of four Celsius
:26:14. > :26:22.overnight. We have this weather front approaching tomorrow morning,
:26:23. > :26:26.but things will settle down with the high pressure behind it at the start
:26:27. > :26:31.of next week. Tomorrow will start try and bright, with the best of the
:26:32. > :26:37.weather in the north-east of the country. But as the day wears on
