:03:00. > :03:05.This is him in a video released by the terror group. He and courage of
:03:06. > :03:11.other British Muslims to join fighting in Syria and Iraq. It is a
:03:12. > :03:18.long way from the streets in Aberdeen where he grew up. He moved
:03:19. > :03:22.from Bangladesh as a child. From the primary school where he played with
:03:23. > :03:27.his friends, or from the secondary school where one friends described
:03:28. > :03:32.him as a normal lad. He was outgoing, got into trouble now and
:03:33. > :03:37.again, but nothing major, just a normal guy. What did you think when
:03:38. > :03:43.you saw the video and recognise them? I just could not believe it. I
:03:44. > :03:48.was shocked. I hope it does not have an effect on the Asian community in
:03:49. > :03:56.Aberdeen. How he went from worshipping here to jihad in the
:03:57. > :04:02.Middle East remains a mystery. The Imam is adamant radicalisation did
:04:03. > :04:08.not stand here is -- did not start here. I would say to him, come back
:04:09. > :04:16.to your family feel stop he is not the only one. Officials say that
:04:17. > :04:24.there are 400 or 500, we say to them, come back to your family. The
:04:25. > :04:30.Imam said that he had no official role that the mosque, and everyone
:04:31. > :04:34.is cooperating with the authorities. We understand that several police
:04:35. > :04:39.forces and security services have launched an investigation since this
:04:40. > :04:43.video appeared with him. Tonight, politicians and community groups are
:04:44. > :04:46.anxious to reiterate that this is not representative of the Muslim
:04:47. > :04:53.community in Aberdeen or Scotland. The Scottish Cabinet discussed the
:04:54. > :04:56.issue at its meeting today. But ministers say Abdul Rakib Amin is in
:04:57. > :04:59.no way representative of the Islamic community as a whole. Community
:05:00. > :05:01.leaders insist they're doing everything they can to prevent young
:05:02. > :05:15.people from becoming radicalised. Slightly over 2% of Scotland's
:05:16. > :05:20.population are Muslims. Even in Glasgow it is only 6%. Scottish
:05:21. > :05:24.ministers say that that is one reason why the radicalisation of
:05:25. > :05:34.young Ms limbs is not a significant problem. The Muslim community is
:05:35. > :05:40.horrified. I heard the Imam of the Aberdeen mosque speak of his
:05:41. > :05:48.horror, and the Muslim community will be just as shocked. The centre
:05:49. > :05:53.offers events for groups of all faiths, but Muslim leaders say that
:05:54. > :05:58.it also offers guidance for young people trying to establish their
:05:59. > :06:02.identities. In this country, we do not feel any different as Muslims,
:06:03. > :06:09.we are Scottish. That is very important. We want to educate our
:06:10. > :06:12.youngsters, help guide them on the right path with regards to their
:06:13. > :06:20.religion, and obviously that is the key. Community leaders insist that
:06:21. > :06:25.Islam is a peaceful religion where radicalism has no place. They offer
:06:26. > :06:30.one possible reason why he has been tempted. You see these guys, they
:06:31. > :06:36.are all brought up in this country. But if you keep targeting them as
:06:37. > :06:46.immigrants, foreigners, you are weakening the link to this country,
:06:47. > :06:49.which is normally very strong. Ministers agree, since Scotland
:06:50. > :06:52.cannot be immune from radical activity, that proves the need for
:06:53. > :06:57.vigilance through liaison with the police and community leaders.

:07:47. > :07:53.This piece of ground has been at the centre of the Bannockburn
:07:54. > :07:56.commemorations today. Earlier a small group of schoolchildren from
:07:57. > :08:00.three nations came to pay the respect to the thousands of men who
:08:01. > :08:07.died on this battlefield 700 years ago. Led by a lone drummer,
:08:08. > :08:14.schoolchildren from Scotland, England and Wales. They had flowers
:08:15. > :08:18.for the following of 1314. They laid their grief at the spot where it is
:08:19. > :08:24.believed Robert the Bruce raised his standard on the eve of the Battle of
:08:25. > :08:28.Bannockburn. Today at 700 years -- today it is 700 years since his army
:08:29. > :08:34.was victorious after two days of fighting. He prepared his ground and
:08:35. > :08:39.men, he had a plan. Edward the second did not seem to have a clue
:08:40. > :08:44.about what he intended to do, other than bring an army to leave Stirling
:08:45. > :08:49.Castle. Robert the Bruce's army was outnumbered, and were fighting for
:08:50. > :08:55.no -- control of nearby Stirling Castle. This was one of the Wars of
:08:56. > :09:02.Scottish independence. Today are battlefield tour at the Bannock Burn
:09:03. > :09:09.itself. At the end of the battle, it was said to be choked with the
:09:10. > :09:14.bodies of the dead. Time to pause is asked -- as a mark of respect. I
:09:15. > :09:19.have been here many times, but not down here being aware of what took
:09:20. > :09:23.place on this very ground. Most kids know about Bannockburn. It is a key
:09:24. > :09:31.turning point in the establishment of the kingdom. It is a key part of
:09:32. > :09:34.Scottish history, it is important. ?9 million was spent upgrading the
:09:35. > :09:41.visitor centre for the anniversary. High-tech 3-D graphics help tell the
:09:42. > :09:47.story. The heritage is in us, it is important to all Scots. It is
:09:48. > :09:51.important that 700 years to the day we recognise it. A moment in
:09:52. > :09:56.Scottish history that still resonates with many, it seems. There
:09:57. > :10:02.will be re-enactments of the battle here, this coming weekend, that is
:10:03. > :10:06.part of the Bannockburn eventful stop some controversy surrounding
:10:07. > :10:12.the event, sales of tickets appeared to be slow to begin with but the
:10:13. > :10:13.organisers believe they will attract between 10000 and 15,000 people this
:10:14. > :10:16.Saturday and Sunday. There's been an increase
:10:17. > :10:18.in the number of cancer patients waiting too long for treatment,
:10:19. > :10:21.according to official figures. The Scottish Government, under
:10:22. > :10:23.health Secretary Alec Neil, has a target that 95% of people diagnosed
:10:24. > :10:26.with cancer should wait no more than But 92% of patients were treated
:10:27. > :10:31.within that time at the start of 2014 - a reduction of three
:10:32. > :10:40.percentage points on last year. Serious problems with
:10:41. > :10:42.the treatment of elderly patients has led to disciplinary action being

:11:13. > :11:15.people in Glasgow on their bikes. The Mass Automated Cycle Hire will
:11:16. > :11:22.see hundreds of bicycles for hire at locations across the city.
:11:23. > :11:34.Suzanne Allan reports. I would like to rent a bike in
:11:35. > :11:39.Glasgow please. Lucy Clarke is already a keen cyclist, but she does
:11:40. > :11:44.not use her bike everyday. This may change her mind. I would use it to
:11:45. > :11:47.commute to work. It is quicker to cycles than get public transport,
:11:48. > :11:51.and I think the same would go for a lot of people in the city centre. It
:11:52. > :12:01.would be a great way to go to the shops, and local places. 400 bikes
:12:02. > :12:07.will be available at hubs across the city. It costs between ?1 for the
:12:08. > :12:12.first 30 minutes, to ?60 a year per annual membership. This is one of 31
:12:13. > :12:16.bike stations around the city. They are unmanned so you do everything

:12:37. > :12:40.increase in people cycling in and out of the city centre in the past

:16:14. > :16:21.Phil, what are Hibs getting in Alan Stubbs?
:16:22. > :16:32.Firstly, this really is becoming an regular occurrence. A reporter
:16:33. > :16:37.standing here discussing another Hibs appointment. He has spent five
:16:38. > :16:44.years in the heart of the Celtic defence from the mid-19 90s. He also
:16:45. > :16:48.played for Bolton and Everton, where, for the last six years, he
:16:49. > :16:56.has been head coach of the under 21 's. Crucially, this evening, heads
:16:57. > :17:07.have appointed a new man with no managerial experience. -- Hibs. The
:17:08. > :17:10.chief executive says he was the standout choice for a future
:17:11. > :17:14.manager, with a clear vision of what he wants to produce. Positive
:17:15. > :17:22.results, playing attractive football and developing new players.
:17:23. > :17:28.We also know it will be a new regime because we are calling him the head
:17:29. > :17:32.coach, and not manager. It is a new football structure being
:17:33. > :17:36.put into place here at Easter Road. A continental style model designed
:17:37. > :17:47.for continued long-term success, that is the words of Hibs. Alan
:17:48. > :17:51.Stubbs is head coach, and we will find out more about who is assisting
:17:52. > :17:55.him on Thursday, when he is presented to the media. Fan that I
:17:56. > :17:59.spoke to outside said they do not care whether he has managerial
:18:00. > :18:01.experience or not, all they want is for him to lead them back into the
:18:02. > :18:07.Scottish premiership next season. Barry Ferguson says he's determined
:18:08. > :18:10.to lead on and off the park in his The former Rangers and Scotland
:18:11. > :18:14.captain was caretaker manager He has only one target for Clyde
:18:15. > :18:20.this season, and that is promotion. One thing's for sure,
:18:21. > :18:33.they will be the team in the pink in Pretty in pink, that is what Clyde
:18:34. > :18:38.will be in their new third strip this season. It will also raise
:18:39. > :18:46.awareness and money for breast cancer for charity. Having lifted
:18:47. > :18:52.titles as a player with Rangers, Barry Ferguson aims to do the same
:18:53. > :18:55.with this club. They have been in the bottom tier for too long. I do
:18:56. > :19:02.not want to go on and be happy with a play-off place. We want to try and
:19:03. > :19:08.get promoted. Avoiding relegation in a 3.5 months spent in Blackpool has
:19:09. > :19:11.prepared him for a new job. My challenge was to keep them in the
:19:12. > :19:17.championship, and I was determined to do it. I am positive, and it was
:19:18. > :19:19.a bit of a roller-coaster, there were some good results and some
:19:20. > :19:25.terrible results. That I learned so much. This will be home for Harry
:19:26. > :19:31.Ferguson this season. But you may see more of him on the pitch playing
:19:32. > :19:39.than here coaching. They wanted me to be the manager but one of the
:19:40. > :19:43.questions was, would I play? I am still fit enough to play, so I will
:19:44. > :19:49.do a preseason and see how it goes. As it stands, I will play. And if
:19:50. > :19:51.that helps results go in the favour, he could be in the pink come the end
:19:52. > :20:14.of the season. You probably noticed that was Alan
:20:15. > :20:20.Stubbs playing in an old firm game, so that did not happen in today's
:20:21. > :20:21.Scottish sport, apologies for that. We can find out what has been
:20:22. > :20:23.happening today now. Scottish champions Celtic returned
:20:24. > :20:25.to pre-season training today. Their Champions League campaign
:20:26. > :20:27.kicks off in three weeks. First session under the watchful eye
:20:28. > :20:30.of new manager Ronnie Diela, with assistant John Collins looking at

:20:54. > :20:59.of the Springboks on Saturday. The atmosphere will be a wreck that
:21:00. > :21:06.electric. The players and supporters in South Africa is always great. It

:21:17. > :21:27.It is unbelievable. He is an inspiration. You see some young kids
:21:28. > :21:28.who want to be like him. Having a Wimbledon champion is no bad thing.
:21:29. > :21:31.It makes my job a lot easier. And there's more on Hibs? new boss
:21:32. > :21:34.Alan Stubbs, plus build-up to tomorrow?s Andy Murray match on
:21:35. > :21:39.the BBC Sport Scotland's website. That is all the sport, with an extra
:21:40. > :21:51.blast from the past! The streets around Falkirk have been
:21:52. > :21:54.lined with cheering crowds, as the Commonwealth Games baton made
:21:55. > :21:56.its way through the area. Thousands of schoolchildren gave it
:21:57. > :21:59.a noisy reception at the Falkirk Right now, the baton is

:23:00. > :23:07.gymnastic coach. We have Keith with us now. It happened about 15 minutes
:23:08. > :23:13.ago. Wasn't fantastic? A dream. I have lived all my life in Falkirk,
:23:14. > :23:20.and to have such an iconic spot on the route was a dream. You were in
:23:21. > :23:26.2006 in Melbourne Commonwealth Games. Does that make it extra
:23:27. > :23:32.special? Absolutely. Sport is my life. It can bring so much to people
:23:33. > :23:37.and communities all across Scotland. It is a fantastic thing, and being a
:23:38. > :23:42.sports person, it makes it more special to bring sport and all it
:23:43. > :23:48.can to the local area. What did you think about daddy carrying the
:23:49. > :23:52.baton? Good? Absolutely speechless. It has now gone to the other side of
:23:53. > :23:57.the park, and there is a big celebration event as it continues
