chilly. That's all from the BBC News at six

so Day two of the Commonwealth

games ticket fiasco. Less a sprint, more a marathon,

as the Games organisers close the website again with nearly half

the tickets still unsold. It is frustrating because you are so

enthusiastic and want to be part of it, and can't get access.

The organisers apologised for letting people down,

but said they were addressing the technical issues.

with the Glasgow 2014 chief apologising and admitting a lot

Our Games reporter, Jane Lewis, joins me.

It's certainly been another frustrating day for some trying

Behind me, you can see just some of the tweets I've had from people

While some have had success and managed to buy tickets,

it's fair to say the vast majority of people have not,

with Glasgow 2014 having taken the decision to close down the website.

The latest additions to team Scotland, and these badminton

players will hope they are competing in front of a full house. First, all

the tickets will have to be sold, and so far, that is the problem.

This Glasgow lecturer has been trying for 36 hours to get tickets

online without success. I think they should have given more consideration

about the fact they were going to be so many people getting these few

golden tickets, and it is incredibly frustrating, because you are so

enthusiastic about it and want to be part of it, and you can't. Glasgow

2014 say they understand frustrations, and in a statement,

they confirmed they had instructed for the website to be closed.

Ticketmaster was used during the London Olympics, but struggled to

cope with demand. Should Glasgow 2014 have taken note of that? We

have worked closely with Ticketmaster. We have had a

fantastic few phases of ticketing. We're still great demand. The system

is not demanding -- cooking right now, and we will be addressing this

with Ticketmaster as our supplier. Before the website was closed,

others had some luck. After a day of frustration yesterday, this

Edinburgh man is finally got his hands on tickets. But he remains

critical of the process. It was a complete shambles. My opinion was

that they did not have what you would call a master plan or a

back-up plan. That is what came across to me. What is the advice for

people who have failed or think they have got tickets but don't know for

sure? For now, the advice is to sit tight for the time being. The

ticketing website and phone line is now closed until further notice.

Organisers of Glasgow 2014 say they do not want to reopen the lines

until they are confident that if punters try to get tickets, they can

successfully do so. Thank you very much.

Hospital bosses in Edinburgh have been told they must improve care

for dementia patients at the city's main psychiatric hospital.

Inspectors from a mental health watchdog decided to

investigate conditions at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital following

They found elderly patients stuck on wards for months with nothing to

do and being given powerful sedatives without authority.

Our health correspondent, Eleanor Bradford, reports.

When Mr O'Malley went into this psychiatric hospital, it was meant

to be for short assessments. Here he was before admission at his 87th

birthday. Here he is at hospital to six months later, wearing someone

else's clothes with a cut above his eye and missing false teeth. His

family say their father withered away before their eyes. He was

counting leaves on trees, and because of his dementia, he would

forget where he was and start all over again. He did that because he

was so bored. Witham we would go to visit, and he would be sitting with

his eyes shut. When you went over to him, he would not want to open his

eyes, because he did not want to see the environment he was in. Because a

fixed ex-fix-mac because of his experience, the mental health dog

watch -- medal Health Watchdog visited and found two people still

in bed at lunchtime because staff had not had time to get them up.

Elderly patients were given powerful sedatives by injection without the

legal authority to do so. And the majority of patients were stuck in

the hospital for months echoes of a lack of care home beds. NHS Lothian

says it is implementing changes as a matter of urgency, including

increasing staffing levels and activities of level for patients. It

has also apologised to Mr O'Malley's family. He was a D-day

veteran, his worst fear was that he would go into hospital and never

come out. My dad had a good four or five years left in him to be able to

do the things that he wanted to do with his family. He was a great

family man. It is actually quite sad.

The man who found Declan Hainey's body in a flat

in Paisley told the fatal accident inquiry into the toddler's death

that he didn't know if it was Declan he had found or a doll.

John Rodden is amried to Elizabeth Rodden - Declan's grandmother.

Declan's mother Kim was found guilty of his murder but was acquitted

Declan Hainey was about 15 months old when he died. His partially

decomposed body was found approximately eight months later in

his mum Kim's rubbish strewn site. The enquiry heard from John Rodden,

seen here. He found the toddler APPLAUSE

Body. He said Kim's mother, Elizabeth

Rodden, and had a call saying he would be reported missing. Mr Rodden

told the enquiry he found a key to Kim's flat, and that he, his wife

and wife's sister came here to Bruce Road. He tapped on the door and

there was no reply. He unlocked the door and there was a pile of mail

and clothes up the stairs. He told his wife to wait, and he went in. He

said he found Declan in his cot. He said they ran into the street. His

wife was screaming. He said at that time, I didn't know if it was a doll

or Declan. He told the enquiry he had not seen Declan since his first

birthday party on the 17th of April 2009. Declan and Kim had been meant

to come to them by Christmas, but they never did. He said Kim said she

was at her dad's place in England, and felt angry that they spent time

with him and not them. When asked about his wife, Mrs Warren said:

Earlier, Mrs Rodden agreed she was apprehensive about pushing him to

bring Declan to see her in case she never came back. A fatal accident

enquiry continues. Still to come on the programme

We meet the big three in charge, who the events of the last two days have

been terrifying and surreal? Find A ban on fishermen throwing away

perfectly healthy fish could harm wildlife, according to researchers

at Strathclyde University. The EU is gradually stopping

the practise called "discards". It had been widespread

for many years as skippers tried to Our reporter, Steven Duff, is

at an RSPB reserve near Stonehaven. The scene behind me spectacularly

shows the wildlife of our coastline. Birds nesting in the cliffs. Add to

see, you will find seals, and dolphins. The main source of feed is

fish, and concern from researchers on the Ben discards of throwing away

healthy fish could have an adverse impact on the North Sea ecosystem.

Every summer, tens of thousands of birds come to these cliffs to breed.

In the waters around, seals, dolphins and even minty whales can

be spotted. Their staple diet is fish. I find it really shocking.

Food campaigner Hugh has fought a campaign against discards,

performing a way of healthy fish so skippers don't fall foul of quota

rules. The EU plans to Ben discards by 2019. Strathclyde University

researchers fear that could adversely affect the ecosystem of

the North Sea. Birds and other while life rely on these dead fish as a

source of food. Increased the fishing quota so that fishermen can

bring ashore all of the fish they catch, or alternatively we can work

towards the fishermen being more selective about when, how and where

they fish so they only fish for what they want. Those alternatives have

big consequences for the ecosystem. The EU says the change in policy, it

including the band, is full -- beneficial for sea bird populations

throughout Europe. No one, including Strathclyde University, suggesting a

ban on discards is about being, it is just how it is implemented. The

Scottish Government say fishermen here have been reducing discards for

a lot of you, and there is no evidence of an adverse effect on

wildlife. The RSPB, who chose this beautiful place, says it has other

research that sea birds are resilient and will find other food

sources. Thank you very much.

A final attempt by the Labour party to make paying

the living wage a requirement of all public sector contracts has

The Scottish Government said European Union rules prevented

Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell.

When it comes to public contracts, they don't

When it comes to public contracts, this. The ?1.5 billion construction

of a new bridge over the River Forth. There are many hundreds of

skilled workers who were building the ferry crossing and will

certainly be paid more than the living wage. That is ?7 65 an hour.

That is not to say they won't be some people working in support of

this project who are paid less. The point is, the Scottish Government

guarantees at least the living wage to all of its own staff, but does

not offer the same guarantee to those employed under sector

contracts. At Holyrood, Labour urged ministers to make it compulsory for

companies supplying goods and services to public bodies to pay the

living wage. This is a chance to give carers and care homes staff a

fair deal. Let's not be a pretend parliament. Let stand up and be

counted. Folks are the living wage and give a pay boost to thousands of

workers on low pay. But the government said the European

Commission had advised that doing this was unlikely to comply with EU

law. We have never been prepared to simply wring our hands and say

because EU law prevents us making the living wage mandatory, then we

are going to do nothing. We have considered carefully what we can do

within the law. What they have stopped short of giving all workers

a cast iron guarantee of the living wage, ministers say they will assess

the ability and willingness of firms who bid for future contracts to

bridge the pay gap for the lowest earners.

His private jet touched down at Prestwick Airport an hour ago, and

and as we speak, Donald Trump should be enjoying

his first visit to Turnberry golf resort as its new owner.

Never one to miss an opportunity to greet a billionaire,

our reporter Aileen Clark was there to welcome the new boss.

Any sign of him? You have come to as just-in-time. You could not have

time to bed. Here is Donald Trump arriving here at his latest

acquisition, which is the fabulous golf resort of Turnberry. He has

come here straight from Ireland today, where he has been looking at

another of the golf courses he bought there, Doonbeg, and this is

his first trip here to Turnberry since he became the owner of this.

As I say, the latest golf course in his portfolio. Mr Donald Trump

coming out of the vehicle. You his portfolio. Mr Donald Trump

see him in his red skip cap their going over and shaking the hands of

some of the senior management here. This is a very important resort to

him, because what he is hoping is that he could set up a golfing

triangle, between this resort, his resort in Aberdeen, and indeed his

other resort he just bought in Ireland. Donald Trump, you are

alive. Do you have a WordPress at the BBC? No, he is clearly going

in. But this really is a very important resort to him in that

little circuit he is trying to set up. Wouldn't that be a nice circuit

to play if you are a well-heeled golf are coming from County Clare

over in Ireland to her in Turnberry, and then up to the estate in

Aberdeen. We will hear more about his plans later this week, but it is

a fabulous night here. It wouldn't surprise me at all. He looks like he

is dressed for it. Just a reminder of what he is purchasing here. I

understand he has played this course before, so it will be interesting to

see how he will do on a night like this, and he says this course is one

he does say that. He is very keen on this course. He says he won't do

anything to upset anyone, so an important cause him, and he is

And that should have read 2014. Good evening to you. It has been a beetle

day across much of the country. Some fine evening sun shine to end the

day. We are looking at long clear spells and a dry at night in

prospect. It will be a cold night, even colder than last night. Just

watch out for that, gardeners and farmers alike. Temperatures down to

minus four Celsius across the Grampian area. As far as the outlook

is concerned, it stays with us, and then it will introduce some rain.

Much milder conditions as well. It's a dry, cold morning. Then the cloud

will push in, and outbreaks of rain as well. Come the afternoon, it will

be a sunnier picture, towards the Hebrides, just bits and pieces of

rain. Not too much weight to that rain, but temperatures of 15 or 16

even some sunshine through daylight hours. Dry for the north-east. There

move towards the end of the day, that rain will push across, and it

will be light and patchy in nature. Tomorrow night, it will certainly be

a different night. I'm older, murky at night. As far as Thursday is

concerned, we will start on a cloudy night. That quickly clears away. It

is staying murky, and brightening up elsewhere. Temperatures on the rise.

has been shut down again. That is reporting Scotland. Our main

bulletin is just after that and got news.
