Good evening. Victims of hate crime are being urged to come forward and | :00:13. | :00:26. | |
report incidents as part of a Scottish Government led campaign. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Those behind 'Speak Up Against Hate Crime say highlighting the problem | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
sends out a clear message. It was here, in the heart of Scotland 's | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
largest city that a BBC documentary team filmed racist abuse of a | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
busker. That highlighted one example of the kind of hate crime in new | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
campaign is aiming to tackle. It is encouraging anyone who has been | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
targeted on the grounds of race, sexuality, disability or gender and | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
reported to police. The campaign is being led by the Scottish Cup meant | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
and has wider support. At the moment, we know that people do not | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
feel 100% confident in reporting to the police for all sorts of reasons. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
We will be sending out a powerful signal that Scotland will not | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
tolerate this kind of hate crime. Police in Scotland are working at a | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
national and international level. Those behind this new campaign argue | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
that by coming forward, witnesses and those who have been targeted | :01:32. | :01:42. | |
will help prevent abuse. . Football... And Scotland have been | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
handed a tough draw for the 2016 European Championship qualifiers. It | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
was here this afternoon that Scotland learned the identity of the | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
Euro 2016 qualification opponents. Germany are the top seeds and will | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
be the clear favourites to top the section. Plenty more intrigue in the | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
group. The Republic of Ireland manager is none other than the man | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
who preceded Gordon Strachan Celtic boss, Martin O'Neill. Scotland play | :02:11. | :02:22. | |
the polls in a friendly. After the draw, I caught up with Gordon | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Strachan and asked him to his feelings on the group. Excited. That | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
is the one thing you can say about this group. Others might be a bit | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
mundane. This one, where you have one of the best team ever, the | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
German side, a new nation in the tournament in Gibraltar then you | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
have four other teams who are all possible to get the second place. | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
That is exciting. Exciting indeed. The top two in the group qualify | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
automatically. Third place might be good enough. That gives Scotland | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
their best chance in a long time of reaching a major tournament for the | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
first time since 1998. That was in the World Cup here in France. The | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics is well under way. But | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
there's one Scot who's still taking centre stage, even though he has no | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
chance of a medal. Jackie O'Brien reports from Sochi. Ladies and | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
gentlemen, the president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
The broadcaster was lost for words when he was selected from hundreds | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
of contenders to be the English-speaking voice of the Winter | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Olympics opening and closing ceremonies in Sochi. Introducing | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
President Putin to a global audience was one of the most daunting moment | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
of his career so far. It provided an experience he is not likely to | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
forget. I was moved by it. I was choked by it. I thought, this is a | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
global spectacle of an incredible degree and I am part of it. It was | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
an exciting moment. Add to that, we would press the buttons on the mics | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
and we'll be talking to a global audience of 2.5 billion people. Or | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
somebody like me, that is a great thrill. Ladies and gentlemen, the | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
worldwide broadcast... The Scottish accent was chosen because it was | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
considered to be the listener friendly. Along with his Russian and | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
French speaking announcers, he had to keep his role at the Olympics are | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
closely guarded secret until the lavish proceedings started. It came | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
out on the night. Suddenly there was a litany of people asking on | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
Facebook, did I hear you? Was that you? It was a big surprise for a | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
lotta people. It has been quite that way since. I am sure I heard you on | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
the Olympics. Yes, guilty your honour! The Scottish broadcaster | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
return for his final performance on the Olympic stage, bringing the most | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
expensive Winter Games in history to a close. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
It was wet and windy for many of us today. The strongest winds will ease | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
tonight but the heavy rain has not finished with us. It will return to | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
central and southern Scotland. Difficult conditions on the roads | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
and potentially some flooding. Ultimately, the strongest winds will | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
become confined to the far north. Temperature wise, around five | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Celsius for many. May be low enough for a touch of ground frost. Into | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
tomorrow, the weather front bringing that rain will pull away. It is a | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
cloudy start with outbreaks of showery rain which will clear away | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
eastwards. There will be good spells of sunshine. Much lighter winds than | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
today. That is the forecast. And that's Reporting Scotland. | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
Hello. Still no sign of the weather really settling down next week. | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
There should be an improvement for most of us tomorrow. It will not be | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
as windy as it has been today, and the band of rain will slowly peter | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
out. We still have some rain to come through the night. This band of rain | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
is quite slow | :06:23. | :06:23. |
