:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight on Reporting Scotland: After yesterday's damning report into the
:00:07. > :00:12.baby ashes scandal, we speak to a former manager at the Mortonhall
:00:13. > :00:15.Crematorium. He apologised to the families for their distress, but
:00:16. > :00:24.said that in the 30 years he worked there he never saw anyone break the
:00:25. > :00:32.code of practice. My experience of the staff at Mortonhall are kind and
:00:33. > :00:35.caring and considerate people. They operated to the highest standards.
:00:36. > :00:38.Tonight, the Scottish Government is considering the families' request
:00:39. > :00:41.for a public inquiry. Also on the programme: Alex Salmond
:00:42. > :00:42.defends his qualified praise for Vladimir Putin in a magazine
:00:43. > :00:47.defends his qualified praise for interview after Labour accuses him
:00:48. > :00:49.of damaging Scotland's reputation. The Olympic gold medal won by the

:01:01. > :01:11.Commonwealth Games baton reaches the central American country. You cannot
:01:12. > :01:14.travel in stormy weather. And the play about the Scots weather
:01:15. > :01:16.forecaster whose advice to allied commanders saved thousands of lives
:01:17. > :01:33.on D-day. Good evening. One of the former
:01:34. > :01:36.managers of Edinburgh's Mortonhall crematorium - which has been
:01:37. > :01:39.criticised for the way it dealt with babies' ashes - says he'd welcome a
:01:40. > :01:43.public inquiry and has nothing to hide. He believes some staff have
:01:44. > :01:46.been made scapegoats and that the Scottish Government should have
:01:47. > :01:57.introduced clearer legislation years ago. Our reporter, Julie Peacock is
:01:58. > :02:02.at Mortonhall for us tonight. What happened here at Mortonhall
:02:03. > :02:07.crematorium has been described to day is a four decade long tragedy.
:02:08. > :02:11.Since the report was published yesterday, it has been referred to
:02:12. > :02:16.police, who are now considering whether or not there is a case for a
:02:17. > :02:21.criminal investigation into what happened here. We have been speaking
:02:22. > :02:29.to one of the former managers here at Mortonhall, who says South having
:02:30. > :02:33.blamed. For 30 years, Dave was a manager at Mortonhall in Edinburgh.
:02:34. > :02:38.He says he is appalled by some of the criticisms levelled at him in
:02:39. > :02:42.the report, and says that the managers have been made scapegoats.
:02:43. > :02:49.But he is sorry for the distress caused to parents. Hoo-mac I can
:02:50. > :02:52.understand the distress and upset, especially in the report that has
:02:53. > :02:59.been published. I would also apologise to them, but maybe they
:03:00. > :03:04.have not been advised on the proper outcomes of the recovery of cremated
:03:05. > :03:09.remains, ashes, by other front-line professionals. They would have
:03:10. > :03:13.doubts with the funeral arrangements for these families.
:03:14. > :03:16.He says Westminster and the Scottish Government had been warned about the
:03:17. > :03:22.lack of legislation since the late 80s, but have done little to make
:03:23. > :03:28.the all clear. I think in hindsight maybe if the Scottish Government had
:03:29. > :03:35.acted on that, we might not have been having this conversation
:03:36. > :03:41.today. And these parents would not have been upset and distressed in
:03:42. > :03:45.the manner in which they have been. At Saint meeting in Edinburgh City
:03:46. > :03:51.Council, a profound apology was referred -- offered any working
:03:52. > :03:57.group set up to date show the same thing doesn't happen again. The
:03:58. > :04:02.group will be made up by a child bereavement category -- charity, but
:04:03. > :04:06.this is not about pushing blame. We are responsible in some way for
:04:07. > :04:10.ensuring that the recommendations, these practices don't happen again.
:04:11. > :04:17.It is not appropriate at this time when we have just report -- Mother's
:04:18. > :04:24.Day report to start pointing fingers at people. Councils in Edinburgh say
:04:25. > :04:28.it is not just the City Council who consider how baby's ashes are
:04:29. > :04:33.connected. This is a Scotland wide issue, and the report will have an
:04:34. > :04:38.impact across the country. That's the question, isn't it? What
:04:39. > :04:42.extent is this practice been happening in other parts of the
:04:43. > :04:46.country? Hole we have been speaking to councils across Scotland, in some
:04:47. > :04:51.like Aberdeen in Glasgow have already carried out independent
:04:52. > :04:56.audits into their cremation practice. Aberdeen have found
:04:57. > :05:00.possibly 40 historical cases of parents not knowing what has
:05:01. > :05:04.happened to their children's ashes, and in Glasgow so far, they say they
:05:05. > :05:08.have discovered only one case where this has happened. Other councils
:05:09. > :05:14.however say they are not going to give any figures until after the
:05:15. > :05:17.report, which is looking at cremation practices across the whole
:05:18. > :05:22.of Scotland, and that report is expected to be published at the end
:05:23. > :05:26.of may. However, because of the real lack of legislation in this area
:05:27. > :05:30.are, what happened here at Mortonhall is unlikely to be unique.
:05:31. > :05:32.Thank you. The First Minister has robustly
:05:33. > :05:35.defended his qualified praise for Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
:05:36. > :05:37.Pressed by opponents at Holyrood to withdraw, Alex Salmond said he had
:05:38. > :05:45.consistently challenged Russia's record on both human rights and
:05:46. > :05:54.Ukraine. Labour said he had "damaged Scotland's reputation". More from
:05:55. > :05:56.our political editor, Brian Taylor. GQ magazine out
:05:57. > :06:01.our political editor, Brian Taylor. Salmond's praise for the media
:06:02. > :06:04.tycoon Rupert Murdoch. But pressed by the magazine, or whether he
:06:05. > :06:09.admires the Russian President Vladimir Putin, he replies, certain
:06:10. > :06:13.aspects. He has restored a substantial part of Russian pride,
:06:14. > :06:17.and that must be a good thing. That interview was conducted on March the
:06:18. > :06:24.14th, before the Russian annexation of crime ER, but say critics while
:06:25. > :06:28.the crisis was Yalding. The magazine interviewer was Alastair Campbell,
:06:29. > :06:31.Tony Blair's former spin doctor. Alex Salmond stresses that his
:06:32. > :06:36.praise of Vladimir Putin is strictly qualified, and that he condemns
:06:37. > :06:41.Russia's stance on Ukraine. But Labour said any support for the
:06:42. > :06:46.Russian leader was indefensible. Putin says acts like the annex in
:06:47. > :06:51.Crimea have restored Russian pride. Alex Salmond has praised Putin for
:06:52. > :06:58.restoring Russian pride. Does the First Minister, even at this stage,
:06:59. > :07:01.not see his comments were at best ill judged, and must be withdrawn?
:07:02. > :07:07.Although opposition leaders joined in. How can we trust the first
:07:08. > :07:11.minister to represent Scotland in the global stage when he so
:07:12. > :07:15.consistently gets it wrong? First Minister wants us to stand tall in
:07:16. > :07:21.the world. But doesn't he just look small? Mr Salmond said his
:07:22. > :07:25.government had consistently criticised Russia over Ukraine and
:07:26. > :07:33.human rights, won nothing had been heard from his opponents. we have
:07:34. > :07:39.spelt out and said that we don't support Russian attitudes towards
:07:40. > :07:42.human rights or indeed homosexuality. We have done these
:07:43. > :07:46.things consistently throughout this year. We didn't want to alight on
:07:47. > :07:51.the issue as part of a combined Better Together political
:07:52. > :07:56.opportunity. We set these things before,
:07:57. > :08:03.opportunity. We set these things leader hosts the Winter Olympics.
:08:04. > :08:07.Alex Salmond stressed that his reference to Russian pride had been
:08:08. > :08:11.solely about the Sochi Games. He will now write to Ukrainians in
:08:12. > :08:17.Scotland, spelling out his stance in an effort to dispel this
:08:18. > :08:20.controversy. You're watching Reporting Scotland
:08:21. > :08:23.from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's programme: We're with the
:08:24. > :08:25.Queen's baton relay in Belize, as part of its journey around the
:08:26. > :08:28.Commonwealth. In sport: With Hibs hovering just
:08:29. > :08:30.above a relegation play-off place, their manager tells us he has a
:08:31. > :08:33.plan. And high-flying Glasgow Warriors
:08:34. > :08:35.check in for another stage - en route to the Pro 12 play-offs,
:08:36. > :08:51.perhaps? Details later. We've heard the opinion of plenty of
:08:52. > :08:55.big companies on the independence debate, but what about small and
:08:56. > :08:58.medium-sized firms. Well, a survey for the Scottish Chamber of Commerce
:08:59. > :09:02.- representing small and medium sized businesses - suggests it's
:09:03. > :09:03.pretty poor, to say the least. It wants both sides to raise their game
:09:04. > :09:06.and give greater wants both sides to raise their game
:09:07. > :09:10.economics correspondent, Colletta Smith, explains.
:09:11. > :09:15.Businesses have been blasting both sides of the referendum debate,
:09:16. > :09:21.saying the information so far has been unhelpful, useless, and Paul.
:09:22. > :09:24.Firms like this renewable energy company are carefully weighing the
:09:25. > :09:28.possibilities and opportunities for themselves. I suppose transparency
:09:29. > :09:32.would be the ultimate thing you could ask for Tom to know exactly
:09:33. > :09:38.how it is going to roll-out without it being two sided. What is best for
:09:39. > :09:44.the country, what the true negatives are, the true positives, and if you
:09:45. > :09:49.could get that, it would be a much simpler process. Many companies like
:09:50. > :09:53.this biotech firm in Glasgow put currency high up on the list of
:09:54. > :09:57.important issues. In terms of currency, we are currently working
:09:58. > :10:02.with British pounds, euros and dollars, so we need to know what we
:10:03. > :10:06.are going to be working with over the next few years once the debate
:10:07. > :10:10.is over and the referendum result or out, so we know how we're going to
:10:11. > :10:12.cope with that. The Chamber of Commerce represents lots of small
:10:13. > :10:17.businesses, and they are carefully staying neutral in the debate, but
:10:18. > :10:22.findings from today's survey can -- send a strong message to both sides.
:10:23. > :10:25.The quality and content of the debate and the information being
:10:26. > :10:31.presented by all political parties is just not coming up to the mark.
:10:32. > :10:37.It is allowing businesses not to plan ahead and be quite clear in
:10:38. > :10:42.terms of risk and opportunity. When it comes to playing up the pros and
:10:43. > :10:45.cons, 53% say they do see new opportunities for their business
:10:46. > :10:51.under independence, especially those working memory within Scotland. At
:10:52. > :10:55.the same time, 77% saw new risks for the company after you spoke, and it
:10:56. > :10:59.is particularly concerning for those operating across the UK. 80% say
:11:00. > :11:04.they would consider moving away a Scotland vote for independence. 760
:11:05. > :11:08.members of the chamber completed the survey, but that is only 10% of
:11:09. > :11:12.their membership, so this is just a snapshot. It does represent views
:11:13. > :11:20.from across the country and different sectors of the economy.
:11:21. > :11:25.A primary head schoolteacher has died in a car crash in Aberdeen.
:11:26. > :11:30.35-year-old Susan Crossan died in the two car crash yesterday evening.
:11:31. > :11:34.She was headteacher at a primary school in the city. Her family have
:11:35. > :11:40.described her as a wonderful wife and mother, whose loss cannot
:11:41. > :11:45.adequately be put into words. Now, you might remember this from
:11:46. > :11:48.the Winter Olympics of 2002. It needs to be absolutely perfect and
:11:49. > :11:55.right in the centre. It is looking good. She has done at! Yes, this was
:11:56. > :11:59.the moment when the all-Scottish curling team, led by Rhona Martin,
:12:00. > :12:04.won the gold medal at Salt Lake City. Well, Rhona's gold medal was
:12:05. > :12:10.stolen late last night from a curling exhibition at Dumfries
:12:11. > :12:15.Museum. Rhona Howie joins us now from her home in Ayr. Thanks for
:12:16. > :12:25.joining us. When did you find out about this? I was actually down
:12:26. > :12:29.south today at a conference, and I got a phone call when I got back
:12:30. > :12:32.into the car to tell me that they had been a braking, and
:12:33. > :12:39.unfortunately the medal was part of the goods that were taken, so not
:12:40. > :12:44.the best news. Is your medal on permanent loan to the museum, or do
:12:45. > :12:55.you keep that I'm normally? It is normally at home. It was a great
:12:56. > :13:00.exhibition that they had set up. It was just down there so two months
:13:01. > :13:09.online. How important is this medal to you? It is of huge sentimental
:13:10. > :13:13.value. As an athlete, you train day in day out to compete in the Olympic
:13:14. > :13:17.Games, and to win a gold medal is every athlete's drain, and it was a
:13:18. > :13:23.wonderful experience for me, so over the years, the medal has brought joy
:13:24. > :13:29.to so many people. When I visit schools and children feel it, it
:13:30. > :13:34.inspires people, so to not have that, it is huge part of my life
:13:35. > :13:39.that is missing. Is likely to be valuable to the person who has taken
:13:40. > :13:43.a? not likely. I don't know what somebody else would do with an
:13:44. > :13:49.Olympic gold medal. They can't show it off or sell it to anybody, so I
:13:50. > :13:55.don't know what else they would do with it. Your message to them?
:13:56. > :14:01.Please can I have it back? It means a lot to me and my family, and I
:14:02. > :14:05.would like to have it back. Thank you very much for joining us. Let's

:19:14. > :19:16.succumbed to another defeat. But the head of supporters said that more
:19:17. > :19:22.fans are backing the manager to eventually put things right. I think
:19:23. > :19:26.the fans are still supporting him. There is no doubt about that. They
:19:27. > :19:32.will give him time to get himself together. They definitely still back
:19:33. > :19:35.him. He Bernie and have lost their last six fixtures and scored only
:19:36. > :19:43.two goals in that period but the manager finds -- feels he is close

:20:27. > :20:33.sensible. Everybody has got to take some blame and everybody has got
