:00:16. > :00:18.in Aberdeen with serious burns, after being found on fire in a
:00:19. > :00:21.street in the city. Police say petrol was involved in the incident
:00:22. > :00:25.and they're following a positive line of inquiry. Our reporter Steven
:00:26. > :00:32.Duff is at the scene tonight. What do we know about what happened,
:00:33. > :00:37.Steven? Really horrible events here just
:00:38. > :00:43.after lunchtime on Bedford Avenue in Aberdeen. A lot of children were out
:00:44. > :00:46.enjoying the sunshine in the school holidays. Emergency services
:00:47. > :00:52.received a call just before 2pm saying that a boy was on fire.
:00:53. > :00:56.Eyewitnesses saw him come down from these flats on fire from his neck to
:00:57. > :01:01.his legs. He was running and screaming, trying to douse himself
:01:02. > :01:05.will stop tonight, he is in a serious condition at Aberdeen Royal
:01:06. > :01:11.Infirmary. We spoke to two neighbours who saw what happened.
:01:12. > :01:15.We heard him screaming. He had been lying on the floor, trying to get
:01:16. > :01:20.himself calm, but nothing was working. He was screaming and
:01:21. > :01:24.crying. He was on fire from the neck
:01:25. > :01:33.downwards. His clothes were sticking to him. Was horrid.
:01:34. > :01:38.The flames weren't really big but enough to do damage.
:01:39. > :01:44.We saw his clothes and shoes lying on the ground. By the time we got
:01:45. > :01:50.there, it was sticking to his skin. It looked like it had melted onto
:01:51. > :01:55.his skin. It was horrible. There were lots of people around.
:01:56. > :02:00.You couldn't really see anything, and then somebody handed him a
:02:01. > :02:05.bucket of water. A lot of police activity here
:02:06. > :02:09.tonight on Bedford Avenue. Police Scotland say enquiries are at an
:02:10. > :02:12.early stage. They are following a positive line of enquiry. They don't
:02:13. > :02:17.know if there is any criminal elements, whether this was a tragic
:02:18. > :02:20.accident. Thank you. Two Scottish companies, led by
:02:21. > :02:23.supporters of the Yes campaign in the independence debate, say they're
:02:24. > :02:26.leaving the CBI over its support for a 'no' vote. Aquamarine Power, which
:02:27. > :02:29.develops wave turbines, made the move after the CBI registered with
:02:30. > :02:32.the Electoral Commission as a campaign group in favour of keeping
:02:33. > :02:38.the union. Balhousie care home group is also pulling out of the business
:02:39. > :02:41.organisation. A Highland farmer, whose properties
:02:42. > :02:44.have been raided by police investigating the birds of prey
:02:45. > :02:47.poisonings, has called for more resources for the investigation. A
:02:48. > :02:51.number of the dead birds were found close to Ewan Macdonald's land at
:02:52. > :02:54.Conon Bridge. He says neither he nor the local farming community has
:02:55. > :03:06.anything to hide, but fear their reputation is being tarnished.
:03:07. > :03:11.We are worried that our industry again get its name blackened. I am
:03:12. > :03:16.almost certain it has nothing to do with the farming industry. I would
:03:17. > :03:25.find it very shocking if it was. As an industry, we are desperate to get
:03:26. > :03:29.to the bottom of this. Police in Fife have released a CCTV
:03:30. > :03:31.image of a man they want to contact in connection with two sexual
:03:32. > :03:34.assaults in St Andrews. A 27-yar-old woman was attacked in

:03:44. > :03:47.Fire crews from Inverness have been fighting a major heath fire, which
:03:48. > :03:49.broke out this afternoon south of the city. A total of eight
:03:50. > :03:53.appliances and dozens of firefighters were brought in to
:03:54. > :03:56.tackle the blaze, and at one point there were fears for nearby houses.
:03:57. > :04:03.Police urged sightseers to stay away and advised local people to stay
:04:04. > :04:06.indoors because of the thick smoke. Sporting history has been made in
:04:07. > :04:11.Musselburgh, after the town hosted horse racing on Good Friday for the
:04:12. > :04:13.very first time. One of the most significant days on the Christian
:04:14. > :04:17.calendar, Good Friday was traditionally considered a day of
:04:18. > :04:20.rest for jockeys. Not everyone has welcomed the change, but the course
:04:21. > :04:24.management say they're moving with the times and hope they'll
:04:25. > :04:29.eventually be able to stage a three day Easter Festival of racing.
:04:30. > :04:34.It's a question that has been put to racing for many years. Just as
:04:35. > :04:39.society moves on and things change, we have got to the point where we
:04:40. > :04:42.are now racing. It is demand driven. Yesterday we were being promised a
:04:43. > :04:49.gorgeous Easter Weekend. Let's see how it's shaping up.
