the evening session still to come. There is more throughout the evening

:00:00.:00:07.

Good evening. Some of Scotland's leading cancer experts have spoken

:00:08.:00:16.

of "postcode prescribing" in access to new drugs. A group of oncologists

:00:17.:00:20.

at the Beatson in Glasgow says the system is "highly problematic"

:00:21.:00:25.

locally. The Scottish Government insists it's committed to improving

:00:26.:00:27.

access to new medicines. Gillian Sharpe reports.Police have launched

:00:28.:00:30.

an investigation after claims that a young East Stirling footballer

:00:31.:00:33.

suffered racial abuse during a match at Peterhead. Cancer affects

:00:34.:00:41.

families across Scotland. The Beatson which serves more than 50%

:00:42.:00:44.

of the Scottish population has written to the government. They say

:00:45.:00:51.

their local experiences that the system is not fit for purpose. This

:00:52.:00:56.

is despite suggestions from the Scottish Government that the system

:00:57.:01:09.

would be less suggestive. They argue that the postcode prescribing in

:01:10.:01:11.

Scotland adds to the injustice experienced by patients. This

:01:12.:01:20.

opposition MSP says those changes will lead to a much improved system

:01:21.:01:30.

but this letter poses concern. Time is of the essence. The consultants

:01:31.:01:33.

say they are not getting access as they expect to. The new system

:01:34.:01:46.

should be up and running by Maeve. May. The whole thrust of government

:01:47.:01:55.

policy is to make it easier for patients who would benefit from new

:01:56.:02:05.

medicines to get easier access. Police have launched an

:02:06.:02:09.

investigation after claims that a young footballer suffered racial

:02:10.:02:18.

abuse during a match at the ahead. East Stirling player, 17-year-old

:02:19.:02:21.

Jordan Tapping had to be subsituted during Saturday's match at Balmoor

:02:22.:02:24.

Stadium after breaking down in tears. The club said he was

:02:25.:02:27.

extremely distressed. Peterhead have apologised to the player and are

:02:28.:02:30.

pledging to help find those responsible. Poor ticket sales and

:02:31.:02:32.

low-level marketing could threaten the event organised to mark the

:02:33.:02:35.

700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn. And now a clash with

:02:36.:02:38.

Armed Forces Day has prompted politicians and clan chiefs to raise

:02:39.:02:42.

concerns about the event. More from Andrew Kerr. The creation of a

:02:43.:02:53.

nation. The new visitor senator opened to the public this weekend

:02:54.:03:00.

and the Bannockburn Live will open this summer. But there are concerns

:03:01.:03:06.

that the generation has been cut back and the ticket sales are down.

:03:07.:03:16.

Chan chiefs -- clan chiefs are worried. It has caused confusion

:03:17.:03:24.

over what is going on amongst our friends overseas. They need a clear

:03:25.:03:30.

cut view and that there's nothing worse than a confused ancestral to

:03:31.:03:34.

list our ancestral Scott because they are the ones putting the money

:03:35.:03:41.

into this. Conservatives share worries about the marketing and also

:03:42.:03:50.

about uptake. Public. -- uptake from the public. The Scottish tourism

:03:51.:03:57.

industry is relying on this being a success. People have said to us this

:03:58.:04:08.

will break even and organisers have a good and solid experience in this

:04:09.:04:11.

area. It will be a spectacular success. Visit Scotland who have

:04:12.:04:19.

been accused by MSPs for keeping them in the dark about organisation

:04:20.:04:26.

say the critics are jumping the gun. It was always going to be that

:04:27.:04:31.

promotion would be built up as we work towards the event itself. There

:04:32.:04:38.

may be dissent in their ranks and frequent skirmishes but then people

:04:39.:04:47.

will no doubt get behind the Bruce. Ricky Burns has vowed to bounce back

:04:48.:04:51.

at world title level and fight on after losing his WBO Lightweight

:04:52.:04:53.

belt to unbeaten American Terence Crawford in Glasgow last night. The

:04:54.:04:57.

Scot suffered his first defeat in seven years after judges took a

:04:58.:04:59.

unanimous points decision against him. Let's now get the weather for

:05:00.:05:03.

tonight and the start of the week with

:05:04.:05:07.

this could be a changeable week but that is not all bad. Some rain is

:05:08.:05:15.

forecast for this evening and for tonight. It will continue northwards

:05:16.:05:20.

to ring the course of the evening. It will fall as snow on the hills

:05:21.:05:24.

and dry and clear conditions will push the West. There is a risk of

:05:25.:05:31.

ice in south-west Scotland as we see temperatures falling to around

:05:32.:05:35.

freezing or below freezing. It will stay breezy across Shetland and

:05:36.:05:42.

Orkney. It will be dry and clear in the West tomorrow but rain across

:05:43.:05:48.

eastern areas and will eventually be confined to northern parts. Double

:05:49.:05:54.

beehives of around six or seven Celsius.

:05:55.:05:57.

Thanks, Judith. And that's Reporting Scotland. We're back just after the

:05:58.:06:01.

ten o'clock news. Until then, will be back.

:06:02.:06:10.

Good evening. The chances are, you are enjoying your evening on a nice

:06:11.:06:15.

warm sofa while it rains outside. Pretty heavy rain

:06:16.:06:16.
