effort to put people off smoking. That is all from the BBC News

:00:00.:00:00.

Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. How Glasgow plans to make the

:00:00.:00:18.

Commonwealth Games gold with a bang. This is the view that millions of

:00:19.:00:23.

people will get only 24th of July as five of Glasgow 's tallest buildings

:00:24.:00:27.

are brought to the ground live during the opening ceremony of the

:00:28.:00:34.

Commonwealth Games. Also on the programme. A BBC

:00:35.:00:38.

Scotland investigation finds an increase in the number of police

:00:39.:00:41.

officers breaking data protection laws. Johnny on the north coast

:00:42.:00:50.

where the fight for freedom fuel prices could be taking an U-turn.

:00:51.:00:58.

What a race by Lee McConnell. After winning more track medals in any of

:00:59.:01:03.

Scottish athlete, the McConnell tells us she is retiring from

:01:04.:01:04.

athletics to be a mother. Five high-rise flats in Glasgow will

:01:05.:01:25.

be blown up as part of the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony

:01:26.:01:29.

this summer. The organisers say it would be one of the most memorable

:01:30.:01:32.

moments of the competition and will save money. The announcement is

:01:33.:01:44.

dividing opinion. It is a spectacular sight. Blowing

:01:45.:01:52.

up buildings attracts a crowd. The first of the Redwood flats was

:01:53.:01:59.

raised to the ground in 2012. -- Red Road flats. Some say it is a crazy

:02:00.:02:04.

plan. The largest demolition in Europe will be part of the opening

:02:05.:02:08.

ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. It is an amazing experience and is

:02:09.:02:14.

not just a stunt. The is a sense of a period of history ending. It is

:02:15.:02:24.

quite emotional. Built in the 1960s, they appear to have all the mod

:02:25.:02:29.

cons. The host 5000 people but they are no longer viable as a home.

:02:30.:02:34.

Walking around these empty rooms it is hard to believe this was

:02:35.:02:38.

somebody's living room, kitchen, Holloway. These flats are seen as

:02:39.:02:50.

the future of housing. -- hallway. It was Glasgow. It has served its

:02:51.:02:55.

purpose and we are moving on. We are getting our 15 minutes of fame. We

:02:56.:02:59.

are being a celebrity. We like it very much. Demolition aside, there

:03:00.:03:05.

were few details about the rest of the two hour set of the two hour

:03:06.:03:10.

ceremony. It is about the people of we will see the humour in Scotland.

:03:11.:03:15.

We will not take ourselves too seriously. There could be some

:03:16.:03:18.

hidden jobs that only Scottish people will get. Organisers state

:03:19.:03:26.

that of events use fireworks but they will create their own buying

:03:27.:03:31.

and spectate -- spectacular signing. What does it say about Scotland,

:03:32.:03:34.

that we knocked on buildings for fun? It will be iconic. Fireworks

:03:35.:03:43.

and the bagpipes. It is not just people in the street that think the

:03:44.:03:48.

idea is off the wall. They are knocking down five and leaving one

:03:49.:03:52.

that has got asylum seekers in it. What sort of message are we sending

:03:53.:03:57.

out? It seems the strangest thing. He flats took five years to build

:03:58.:04:03.

and in just 15 seconds, with the eyes of the world on Glasgow, they

:04:04.:04:15.

will be gone. It sounds like the plans of got

:04:16.:04:19.

people talking? It has been the top of the town. It has divided

:04:20.:04:26.

opinion. The idea of demolishing these flats, showing Glasgow to the

:04:27.:04:31.

world in this fashion has been a divider today on the streets of

:04:32.:04:35.

Glasgow. The organisers will see that it is saving the city money.

:04:36.:04:40.

People will point out that of ceremonies have used fireworks and

:04:41.:04:45.

they are using demolition. It will create a spectacle. It will be

:04:46.:04:50.

compared to the Olympic Games. The budgets for the opening and closing

:04:51.:04:55.

ceremonies was ?80 million in London while Glasgow has got a budget of

:04:56.:05:03.

?20 million. An increasing number of Scottish

:05:04.:05:05.

police officers are being investigated for breaching data

:05:06.:05:08.

protection laws while on duty. A BBC Scotland investigation has revealed

:05:09.:05:11.

that six convictions took place last year while Police Scotland is

:05:12.:05:14.

looking into more than 50 further cases. Here's our Home Affairs

:05:15.:05:20.

Correspondent Reevel Alderson. Police have access to large amounts

:05:21.:05:24.

of sensitive data. There are strict protocols so they do not abuse it.

:05:25.:05:29.

Any officer found accessing information they are not entitled to

:05:30.:05:34.

our prosecuted. It was six prosecutions in 2008. In the last

:05:35.:05:42.

two years, there were 11. The figure appears to be rising. Police

:05:43.:05:48.

Scotland see currently 55 officers are being investigated for data

:05:49.:05:52.

irregularities. Four of them are suspended from duty. This former

:05:53.:05:57.

senior police officer is concerned that the breaches of data protection

:05:58.:06:02.

could have serious consequences. I want to know why these

:06:03.:06:04.

contraventions occurred. Where was the information going through. If it

:06:05.:06:11.

was passed to criminals then it would be a major concern. If it is

:06:12.:06:18.

somebody who has got an issue with discipline, then hopefully these

:06:19.:06:21.

reports will remove that impetus on their behalf and they will be

:06:22.:06:24.

properly dealt with by Police Scotland. This is one of the films

:06:25.:06:32.

recently commissioned by the Scottish Police Federation to try to

:06:33.:06:35.

improve the image of ordinary police officers. The complexities of

:06:36.:06:43.

information technology systems could mean officers fall foul of data

:06:44.:06:49.

protection laws. Is it something we can be doing slightly differently

:06:50.:06:52.

within the organisation. Any police officer complaint means we will look

:06:53.:06:58.

out any issues with data to make sure that everything is OK. It is a

:06:59.:07:04.

worrying trend. Police Scotland said that any breach of data protection

:07:05.:07:08.

is treated seriously and it regularly carries out audits to make

:07:09.:07:10.

sure that policies are being adhered to.

:07:11.:07:18.

Safety inspections have been carried out in Edinburgh's schools on walls

:07:19.:07:22.

similar to the one that collapsed at Liberton High on Tuesday, killing

:07:23.:07:24.

12-year-old pupil Keane Wallis-Bennett. Several

:07:25.:07:26.

free-standing walls in other schools have been cordoned off as a safety

:07:27.:07:30.

measure until the end of term though Edinburgh council say none of the

:07:31.:07:37.

inspections raised concern. One of Scotland's largest companies

:07:38.:07:40.

says the costs of independence to its business could outweigh the

:07:41.:07:43.

benefits. The engineering firm Weir Group made the claim after

:07:44.:07:45.

commissioning specialist research into the economic impact of a yes

:07:46.:07:48.

vote. However independence campaigners say Weir voiced very

:07:49.:07:50.

similar concerns about devolution and those fears never came to pass.

:07:51.:07:54.

Here's our Economics correspondent Colletta Smith.

:07:55.:08:05.

For more than 140 euros, Weir Group has been manufacturing parts for

:08:06.:08:06.

heavy industry. -- 140 years. They have asked

:08:07.:08:21.

analysts to look at the prospects of independence and they have published

:08:22.:08:26.

the findings. Funding costs would be higher. Pensions would be more

:08:27.:08:33.

complex. They said that any currency optic each -- opsin secured it would

:08:34.:08:37.

be expensive for households and businesses in Scotland. Rather than

:08:38.:08:45.

keep this report until we have decided to make it public. We are

:08:46.:08:50.

seeking to and the debate is one of Scotland's largest companies. It is

:08:51.:08:54.

important that we seek to get some facts on the table and eliminate

:08:55.:08:57.

some of the emotion pained the debate. We are proud to be Scottish

:08:58.:09:02.

potheads have to rule heart when it comes the independence referendum.

:09:03.:09:11.

-- we are proud to be Scottish potheads have to rule heart. -- but

:09:12.:09:17.

heads. That clearly is something that is in

:09:18.:09:31.

the White Paper and the business looks forward to it. Well both sides

:09:32.:09:36.

agree that Scotland's economy can be strong, it is the details of the

:09:37.:09:39.

costs for businesses that are putting some off. Weir Group are the

:09:40.:09:47.

latest in a line of companies to have stated their position on

:09:48.:09:50.

independence. They are not the first and will not be the last. We have

:09:51.:09:55.

heard from BP and from standard life raising their opposition to the idea

:09:56.:10:01.

of Scotland becoming independent. BSkyB and wheat was put out

:10:02.:10:04.

statements stating that they would expand your business with an

:10:05.:10:09.

independent Scotland and it would not put more. What is interesting

:10:10.:10:14.

from today's report is that they have the information behind that

:10:15.:10:23.

position. You're watching Reporting Scotland

:10:24.:10:26.

from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's programme. Doubling the

:10:27.:10:29.

reward to try and track down those responsible for poisoning at least

:10:30.:10:32.

16 birds of prey in the Highlands. In sport, meet the boy that is made

:10:33.:10:38.

our top woman athlete change your mind about taking part in the

:10:39.:10:42.

Commonwealth Games. Find out why Scotland's women hockey players have

:10:43.:10:50.

got plenty to smile about. Labour have accused the Scottish

:10:51.:10:54.

Government of misleading appearance over their plans to expand childcare

:10:55.:10:58.

in the event of independence. Ministers say they are providing

:10:59.:11:02.

more free places can help Scotland achieve the same level of women in

:11:03.:11:13.

work and Sweden. With a big expansion of childcare

:11:14.:11:18.

provision, the first minister has said it would be entirely achievable

:11:19.:11:21.

for an independent Scotland to increase female participation in the

:11:22.:11:29.

workforce by more than 100,000. This is to match the Swedish example. In

:11:30.:11:34.

those circumstances he reckons that the policy, the extra investment in

:11:35.:11:43.

childcare, to give all young children 30 hours of the child

:11:44.:11:49.

killed by 2020, that would be substantially self financing. The

:11:50.:11:53.

information centre has said that it has not seen the evidence for this

:11:54.:11:58.

and has pointed out that right now, there are only 64,000 mothers with

:11:59.:12:01.

young children who are economically inactive. It is that that Labour has

:12:02.:12:10.

seized on. It blows apart the SNP 's flagship childcare policies. It

:12:11.:12:14.

simply says that there are not enough patents looking for work to

:12:15.:12:17.

make this policy pay for itself. There are 40,000 missing mothers and

:12:18.:12:25.

the policy does not add up. If we can emulate Swedish numbers that

:12:26.:12:27.

could generate money that could go back into childcare. In successive

:12:28.:12:32.

years we can see women getting back into the workplace. That is the

:12:33.:12:36.

point of the Scottish Government. More women will get into work. More

:12:37.:12:41.

women will choose to stay there. Over a number of years it will cool

:12:42.:12:46.

female participation. They do not seem to have modelled the policy to

:12:47.:12:51.

work out exactly it would take to hit that 100,000 figure. The

:12:52.:12:56.

opposition say that if they are serious about expanding childcare,

:12:57.:13:00.

they could change priorities and invest more money. The Scottish

:13:01.:13:04.

Government said that the real benefit would come after benefit

:13:05.:13:12.

when any extra tax revenues benefit -- tax revenues gained would accrue

:13:13.:13:19.

into a Scottish fund. For almost ten years now, fishermen

:13:20.:13:23.

have been lifting hundreds of tonnes of litter out of the sea alongside

:13:24.:13:26.

their catches and bringing it back to shore. But, as Kevin Keane

:13:27.:13:29.

reports, this scheme for cleaning up our waters might be under threat.

:13:30.:13:41.

Another day, another haul, and discoveries like these are not

:13:42.:13:47.

unusual. The slowdown in the job and can clog up the machinery.

:13:48.:13:50.

Traditionally, rubbish would have gone back over the side but now

:13:51.:13:57.

these giant bags are used to bring any letter they find on shore. It

:13:58.:14:01.

has made a big difference to the amount of junk labelling up.

:14:02.:14:06.

Year-on-year we are seeing less and less letter. It was at first

:14:07.:14:12.

commonplace to fill three or four bags during one trip, but sometimes

:14:13.:14:17.

we can go back without even a quarter of a bag. On this voyage, a

:14:18.:14:24.

less frequently used fishing ground is trawled. They have brought back

:14:25.:14:32.

two begs sackfuls of rubbish, debts of three, paint pots, floats and

:14:33.:14:37.

even fishing gear, and all of that will go to landfill. For those on

:14:38.:14:44.

board, they are incomers linked to how much fish the land. While there

:14:45.:14:51.

is no financial reward, they take it seriously. The project is becoming

:14:52.:14:58.

normal practice amongst the fleet. We are seeing a habit change. It

:14:59.:15:07.

would be nice to consolidate that. The current phase has now come to an

:15:08.:15:11.

end and the organisers are still looking for financial support to

:15:12.:15:18.

allow it to continue. People living on the north coast of

:15:19.:15:24.

Scotland say they haul are paying more for petrol because of their

:15:25.:15:32.

postcodes. The UK Treasury says it is now looking to find a better

:15:33.:15:40.

system. It lies in one of the most sparsely

:15:41.:15:45.

populated areas of Europe and other were high hopes it was a high

:15:46.:15:50.

candidate for the government's fuel discount scheme, but they have been

:15:51.:15:55.

left off an extended list of eligible areas because it shares the

:15:56.:16:02.

same postcode as the town of Thurso, over 30 miles away. The local

:16:03.:16:09.

community council has been challenging the decision. A lot of

:16:10.:16:15.

people avoid buying fuel in Bettyhill simply because the prices

:16:16.:16:22.

so high. The subsidy would at least ameliorate the price a little bit

:16:23.:16:27.

and would help absolutely everyone. Fuel at the area's only petrol

:16:28.:16:31.

station is up to 12p a litre more expensive than in the town, argue

:16:32.:16:38.

the postcode system threatens an already fragile economy. It is not

:16:39.:16:44.

just local business but the ambulance and health visitors and it

:16:45.:16:47.

isn't credible we are not able to take advantage of a scheme which is

:16:48.:16:53.

supposed to help rural communities. The government has announced today

:16:54.:16:57.

it is looking at a better way of assessing eligibility. We are

:16:58.:17:02.

looking at whether there is a better way of assessment. The high cost of

:17:03.:17:09.

fuel dominates the everyday lives of people living on Scotland's northern

:17:10.:17:14.

edge, but there is optimism that they are calls for help are being

:17:15.:17:16.

heeded. A look at other stories from the

:17:17.:17:20.

across the country. It's being claimed that health care

:17:21.:17:23.

in the north-east could suffer because the area's high cost of

:17:24.:17:26.

living is putting medical workers off moving there. A report for NHS

:17:27.:17:29.

Grampian says there's a risk they'll fail to serve the community

:17:30.:17:32.

properly, if they don't tackle the problem.

:17:33.:17:37.

A campaign to get Scotland dancing has been launched in Stirling. The

:17:38.:17:42.

project will involve more than 250 organisations, a 24 hour ceilidh and

:17:43.:17:45.

the chance to dance along to your favourite movies.

:17:46.:17:55.

It is a hugely ambitious and exciting project to get Scotland

:17:56.:18:00.

dancing. Getting them and keeping them dancing so there are thousands

:18:01.:18:02.

of options to participate. The group behind the Edinburgh

:18:03.:18:04.

International Film Festival is promising a new future for

:18:05.:18:07.

Aberdeen's arthouse cinema. The Belmont complex changed operators,

:18:08.:18:09.

after the Competition Commission ruled that the Cineworld chain had

:18:10.:18:16.

to give it up. There are loads of film-makers in

:18:17.:18:20.

Aberdeen who want to tell stories and get their films on the big

:18:21.:18:23.

screen and get very little opportunity to do that, so one thing

:18:24.:18:28.

is how we position this as the natural home for film-makers and

:18:29.:18:30.

film audiences. Council workers in Aberdeen have

:18:31.:18:33.

been receiving training on how to deal with finding snakes, spiders,

:18:34.:18:37.

scorpions and other creepy crawlies. It follows a number of incidents in

:18:38.:18:41.

the city where staff have encountered exotic pets while

:18:42.:18:43.

carrying out building repairs. Only last month workers were confronted

:18:44.:18:46.

by a boa constrictor loose in a house.

:18:47.:18:52.

A ?10,000 reward is on offer for information about Scotland's worst

:18:53.:18:58.

case of bird-of-prey poisoning. 12 rare red kites and four buzzards

:18:59.:19:01.

have now been found dead on the Black Isle, north of Inverness.

:19:02.:19:10.

Craig Anderson reports. A tranquil rural scene but the

:19:11.:19:17.

errors anguish in the area. Red kites were reintroduced here

:19:18.:19:20.

starting 20 years ago and they are popular with local people and

:19:21.:19:25.

visitors, but the illegal killings have wiped out 10% of the fragile

:19:26.:19:31.

population. I am gutted, this is the worst two weeks I have had in this

:19:32.:19:37.

job. Going out and responding to calls from members of the public

:19:38.:19:42.

about bed kites they have found and also searching nearby would land

:19:43.:19:45.

them coming across their bodies, I could have wept. It is known for its

:19:46.:19:53.

kites and we were just shocked and devastated and would like something

:19:54.:19:56.

to be done. The only solution is a jail term. Most reported raptor

:19:57.:20:02.

poisonings are linked to game estates, but this is farming

:20:03.:20:09.

country. Police say no matter what the motive they regard this as a

:20:10.:20:15.

major crime. Anything using poison bait is an offence and ignorance is

:20:16.:20:20.

not an excuse. We will be following every possible line of enquiry.

:20:21.:20:28.

Police say anybody who finds a dead birds should contact them but they

:20:29.:20:32.

have warned the public because of the danger of the poison not to try

:20:33.:20:35.

to remove the bird soared even touch them.

:20:36.:20:42.

Let's get the sport now, from David. Good evening. One of Scotland's most

:20:43.:20:45.

successful athletes won't be taking part in the Glasgow 2014 Games. 400m

:20:46.:20:51.

runner Lee McConnell had been training for the event but today

:20:52.:20:53.

she's announced her retirement. Rhona Mcleod's been finding out why.

:20:54.:21:02.

She has been at the forefront of international athletics for the last

:21:03.:21:07.

12 years and has one more major championship medals than any other

:21:08.:21:12.

Scottish athlete. Lee McConnell was fast that the blocks and on her way

:21:13.:21:15.

to success with silver in the Manchester Commonwealth Games. Over

:21:16.:21:21.

the years she became a regular fixture with the 4x4 team. But today

:21:22.:21:28.

agonisingly three months before the final finishing line, Lee McConnell

:21:29.:21:35.

has decided to retire. But there is a very good reason why her journey

:21:36.:21:40.

is sending now and he is just behind this door. I would love to be able

:21:41.:21:47.

to compete in Glasgow. I had this little one at the end of October

:21:48.:21:51.

last year than it was always going to be a challenge getting back to

:21:52.:21:56.

full fitness, and I now believe... He wants to take over! I now believe

:21:57.:22:02.

I would not be at my best at Glasgow and they have never been willing to

:22:03.:22:07.

turn up at Glasgow in front of a home crowd and deliver a below par

:22:08.:22:15.

performance. From her personal situation, she has made the right

:22:16.:22:23.

decision, for us, selfishly it is not the right decision by titles

:22:24.:22:27.

with respect what she has done. Spending time away from home becomes

:22:28.:22:30.

more difficult because you are emotionally attached. You finished?

:22:31.:22:41.

I was feeling quite broody until the baby was sick.

:22:42.:22:43.

Onto when men stepping up their preparations. Scotland's hockey

:22:44.:22:47.

women have gone full time to help in their quest for a medal at this

:22:48.:22:50.

summer's Commonwealth Games. The squad, including teachers, doctors

:22:51.:22:53.

and physios are taking paid leave from their work to concentrate on

:22:54.:22:56.

their game. Phil Goodlad reports. Here at the National Hockey Centre,

:22:57.:22:58.

things are really taking shape both fun on the pitch. No work

:22:59.:23:06.

distractions ahead of the games for Scotland's weathermen. A bit of a

:23:07.:23:12.

whirlwind soul this morning I packed my bags and got over to Glasgow. The

:23:13.:23:20.

expectations are growing. You end up working full-time and playing hockey

:23:21.:23:23.

in the evenings so it is pretty hectic. The ?170,000 move is part of

:23:24.:23:31.

a wider Scottish sport initiative allowing players to focus on

:23:32.:23:36.

that is what you can struggle to have when you are trying to balance

:23:40.:23:47.

life with your sport. Scotland's weathermen will revert back to the

Bay jobs after the games but Scotland's men will not be going

full time because less as expected. They were men we certainly want to

make the play-offs whereas the men are going for top eight.

:24:05.:24:10.

Expectations have just shot up for Scotland's were men and we will find

out in the summer whether they are good value.

:24:16.:24:19.

Now, a look at what else is happening across Scottish sport.

:24:20.:24:21.

A late Jamie Hamill equaliser against Aberdeen earned them a point

:24:22.:24:25.

- now Hearts must win their remaining six matches to have any

:24:26.:24:28.

hope of avoiding relegation from the premiership.

:24:29.:24:32.

The last couple of performances have been very pleasing. The way we

:24:33.:24:37.

played in the second half, I thought we did very well and even with ten

:24:38.:24:40.

men we never give up. A point was enough to take Aberdeen

:24:41.:24:43.

back second in the League table on goal difference - Willo Flood with

:24:44.:24:49.

their only goal last night. For me, the performance merited the three

:24:50.:24:53.

points but we have recovered ourselves and tonight we will try

:24:54.:24:56.

and win the next one. The Scottish Thistles netball team

:24:57.:24:59.

completed a 3-0 test series win over Trinidad and Tobago last night with

:25:00.:25:06.

a 44 points to 30 win. Very happy with it. To win against Trinidad and

:25:07.:25:13.

Tobago, we have never won against them and to win the series is a

:25:14.:25:16.

fantastic result. Scotland's cricketers will play
