:01:14.:01:21.

industrial practice to prevent another tragedy. Recommendations

:01:22.:01:32.

followed up by sheriffs would help to provide that confidence in the

:01:33.:01:37.

system. The public enquiry ordered the inspection of other factories

:01:38.:01:42.

where LPG was being used and for practices to be improved in many of

:01:43.:01:46.

them. The families say that is one of the major legacies of the

:01:47.:01:53.

disaster here ten years ago. The First Minister, Alex Salmond,

:01:54.:01:56.

has offered to meet Ukrainians in Scotland following the row over his

:01:57.:01:59.

qualified praise for the Russian President. Mr Salmond has replied to

:02:00.:02:03.

a letter from a Ukrainian community leader who called on him to

:02:04.:02:07.

apologise. Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

In an interview for GQ magazine, First Minister said it was a good

:02:17.:02:19.

thing that Vladimir Putin had restored Russian pride. That angered

:02:20.:02:24.

Ukrainians in Scotland because of Russia's set -- Russia's accent --

annexation. He said he disapproved of a number of Russian policies. In

:02:32.:02:39.

his letter to the Ukrainian community leader, he said some of

:02:40.:02:43.

his remarks had been reported out of context and is not offer an apology

:02:44.:02:49.

for them. It was described as a tardy explanation that has decided

:02:50.:02:54.

to take up the First Minister's offer to meet Ukrainians in

:02:55.:02:57.

Scotland. The Church of Scotland is planning

:02:58.:03:00.

referendum. The Kirk wants leading figures from both Yes Scotland and

:03:04.:03:07.

Better Together to attend to encourage people to work together,

:03:15.:03:20.

the level of this debate down to a respectful place where we listen to

:03:21.:03:25.

one another carefully, where we don't try to score points by

:03:26.:03:29.

name-calling, where the language doesn't get too emotive and it

:03:30.:03:33.

sticks with substance, then the business of healing will be a lot

:03:34.:03:38.

easier afterwards. A couple who won ?160 million on the Euromillions

:03:39.:03:42.

lottery have given a further two and a half million to the

:03:43.:03:44.

pro-independence Yes Scotland campaign in the past year.

:03:45.:03:49.

:03:50.:03:59.

donation the year before. Football now and Celtic lifted the
