:00:22. > :00:24.Usain Bolt has been accused on not flying the flag for Glasgow's

:00:25. > :00:26.Commonwealth Games. The world's fastest man denies making

:00:27. > :00:32.disparaging remarks. And the medals continue to come. It's been another

:00:33. > :00:38.good day for Scotland's male gymnasts. Daniel Keatings wins an

:00:39. > :00:47.individual silver. Also tonight: A senior member of staff at Aberdeen

:00:48. > :00:49.Crematorium is suspended as part of the investigation into the disposal

:00:50. > :00:52.of baby ashes. And in football, Celtic are in Champions League

:00:53. > :01:08.qualifying action tonight in Warsaw.

:01:09. > :01:12.The biggest star of the Commonwealth Games, Usain Bolt, is embroiled

:01:13. > :01:15.in a row with a national newspaper, over disparaging comments he's said

:01:16. > :01:22.The Times says he used a crude word to describe the Games, and that he

:01:23. > :01:25.also told one of their reporters the London Olympics was better.

:01:26. > :01:28.The athlete, who's due to run at Hampden later this week,

:01:29. > :01:31.says it's all nonsense - but the newspaper stands by its story.

:01:32. > :01:41.He is one of the biggest names to come to the Glasgow games and this

:01:42. > :01:44.morning the fastest man in the world took his seat to watch his

:01:45. > :01:52.country's team played netball. His reported comments have made him the

:01:53. > :01:55.talk of the city. According to The Times, he spoke to one reporter

:01:56. > :01:58.outside the athletes village yesterday. The reporter stands by

:01:59. > :02:02.her story that Usain Bolt was not having fun in Scotland and made a

:02:03. > :02:20.disparaging comment about the Games. Usain Bolt looked happy and relaxed

:02:21. > :02:32.I did not come here for confrontations. I

:02:33. > :02:38.The organisers were delighted when Bolt said he was available to

:02:39. > :02:58.compete. just am trying to go around and see

:02:59. > :03:03.the country. I know I will see a lot of culture. Yesterday, he met the

:03:04. > :03:06.Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. Today, Usain Bolt

:03:07. > :03:08.responded to The Times report in a tweet. He said journalist should

:03:09. > :03:14.not tell lies in order to sell papers.

:03:15. > :03:19.We take Usain Bolt at his word and are pleased with how he has

:03:20. > :03:21.responded. That is our position. These are a fantastic Games. Usain

:03:22. > :03:25.Bolt is one of the stars of the Commonwealth Games and apparently

:03:26. > :03:34.told the newspaper that the Olympics were better. This was the reaction

:03:35. > :03:37.in Glasgow. Was he just in a bad mood or something? It is quite

:03:38. > :03:42.unlike him. The city is showing its friendly side and everyone is going

:03:43. > :04:02.all out to make it a great Games. I cannot agree with that. It has

:04:03. > :04:03.been a fabulous games. Bolt is due to meet his Glasgow audience on

:04:04. > :04:08.Friday. A man has been detained by police

:04:09. > :04:11.following an early morning disturbance at the Commonwealth

:04:12. > :04:13.Games Athletes' Village in Glasgow. Police Scotland said the 30-year-old

:04:14. > :04:15.was currently in custody following the incident, which took place at

:04:16. > :04:18.the site in Dalmarnock, in the city's east end, at about six

:04:19. > :04:54.o'clock this morning. Daniel Keatings one is silver medal

:04:55. > :05:12.Scotland were flexing their muscles. Daniel Keatings Was superb

:05:13. > :05:35.on the rings and very much in contention. Daniel Purvis fell to

:05:36. > :05:40.fourth place. But the fans had a lot to cheer in Daniel Keatings and

:05:41. > :05:51.remained in the silver medal position. But Wilson was not far

:05:52. > :06:06.behind. The battle came down to the last rotation. Daniel Keatings Kept

:06:07. > :06:16.his nerve on the horizontal bar. Wilson replied with a great

:06:17. > :06:29.performance. Silver to Scotland and Daniel Keatings. Today was the start

:06:30. > :06:37.of the individual finals and tomorrow is the all-round finals.

:06:38. > :06:58.They will compete taking their pieces of apparatus single-A. One

:06:59. > :07:03.man competing tomorrow is Daniel Keatings Daniel Purvis made a slight

:07:04. > :07:08.error which shows you the slight margins of error in this sport. If

:07:09. > :07:18.you make a mistake and one of the apparatus you are down and out. Hats

:07:19. > :07:24.off to Daniel Keatings. Tomorrow he is back in action and will compete

:07:25. > :07:26.in individual finals and I am sure he will be full of confidence after

:07:27. > :07:38.the exertions of today. You're watching Reporting Scotland

:07:39. > :07:40.from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's programme: We hear from

:07:41. > :07:43.passengers and drivers about the part played by Glasgow taxis during

:07:44. > :07:50.the Commonwealth Games. A senior member of staff at Aberdeen

:07:51. > :07:52.Crematorium has been suspended from his job - during

:07:53. > :07:55.an investigation into the handling of baby ashes. Derek Snow has been

:07:56. > :08:00.suspended from his post during the new investigation led by Dame Elish

:08:01. > :08:02.Angiolini. She's investigating the possible mishandling of babies'

:08:03. > :08:04.ashes at crematoria around Scotland, including at Hazlehead. Steven Duff

:08:05. > :08:20.reports. Another blow to the reputation of

:08:21. > :08:22.this council run crematorium at Hazlehead in Aberdeen. Derek Snow

:08:23. > :08:24.has been suspended. The move comes weeks

:08:25. > :08:26.after Aberdeen City Council investigated. The investigation

:08:27. > :08:29.relates to babies and adults. I have to consider the findings of our

:08:30. > :08:31.independent audit published last year. It is not known if Mr Snow's

:08:32. > :08:36.suspension is directly linked to the claim that babies and adults ashes

:08:37. > :08:39.were cremated together. It was said that the ashes of babies were

:08:40. > :08:42.deliberately not returned to parents. There are also allegations

:08:43. > :08:49.and some families are pursuing legal action. We are waiting to see how

:08:50. > :08:56.serious the situation is at Hazlehead. But a very senior member

:08:57. > :09:25.of staff has been suspended and I That tells us all we need to know. I

:09:26. > :09:29.think that is still a lot more to come out and there are people out

:09:30. > :09:33.there who know the truth and needed to come and tell the truth now. It

:09:34. > :09:49.is more than a year and a half that it has been going on for us. The

:09:50. > :09:53.former Lord Advocate is heading up an investigation into this but the

:09:54. > :09:57.City Council would only say they do not comment on personal matters.

:09:58. > :10:01.Exactly a week after a family of four were killed in a road accident

:10:02. > :10:03.near Polmont - police have been stopping drivers to appeal for

:10:04. > :10:06.information. The parents and two young children died when their car

:10:07. > :10:09.collided with a lorry on the A801 last Wednesday. Alexandra Mackenzie

:10:10. > :10:21.1800 Vehicles Drive each error on this busy road. Last week a young

:10:22. > :11:02.family from Bathgate died here. The family's car was driving north.

:11:03. > :11:08.Police say they are still keen to trace a silver car scene here around

:11:09. > :11:12.the time of the accident and are urging the driver of that car to

:11:13. > :11:21.come forward. Those who had passed by at the same time were pulled over

:11:22. > :11:24.and questioned further. Others said they were sorry they were unable to

:11:25. > :11:31.help an investigation which was in early stages. Close by, the flowers

:11:32. > :11:35.inevitably beginning to wilt with the messages of sympathy and shock

:11:36. > :11:48.that remain for young family whose lives were cut so tragically short.

:11:49. > :11:55.The owners of a plastics factory which exploded in Glasgow killing

:11:56. > :11:57.nine people has blocked a compensation claim by a neighbouring

:11:58. > :12:01.ICL Plastics opposed the claim by decorators merchant David T Morrison

:12:02. > :12:04.on the grounds it was lodged outside the statutory five-year limit.

:12:05. > :12:07.ICL appealed to the Supreme Court in London after judges at the Court

:12:08. > :12:10.Supreme Court judges ruled in ICL's favour by a majority

:12:11. > :12:17.More than 20 jobs are to go at one of the biggest private

:12:18. > :12:20.The BBC understands employees at the GSH Group's Tarbert office

:12:21. > :12:23.Earlier this summer, the multi-national facilities

:12:24. > :12:25.and energy management company announced it was reviewing its UK

:12:26. > :12:33.NHS Highland is being accused of breaching the human rights of

:12:34. > :12:36.dialysis patients in Argyll forced to endure the longest road journey

:12:37. > :12:38.in Britain to get treatment. Two women from Campbeltown travel almost

:12:39. > :12:42.700 miles a week because there are no dialysis machines in Argyll.

:12:43. > :12:47.Campaigners say they want to put pressure on NHS Highland to

:12:48. > :12:50.establish a facility at Campbeltown Hospital. NHS Highland say they are

:12:51. > :12:57.A second man has appeared in court in connection with an alleged

:12:58. > :12:59.?1 million jewel robbery in Edinburgh. 28-year-old

:13:00. > :13:02.Kurtis Beech from Salford was charged with conspiracy to rob

:13:03. > :13:06.Hamilton and Inches shop in the city's George Street by driving two

:13:07. > :13:10.vehicles to Edinburgh at the start of June. He made no plea or

:13:11. > :13:17.declaration and was remanded in custody.

:13:18. > :13:20.The Celtic manager Ronny Deila says his team is improving by the day as

:13:21. > :13:23.he attempts to guide them through the Champions League qualifiers. His

:13:24. > :13:27.side are in Poland, for the first leg of their tie against Legia

:13:28. > :13:30.Warsaw. And as our senior football reporter Alasdair Lamont explains,

:13:31. > :13:37.there's a fellow Norwegian plotting Celtic's downfall.

:13:38. > :13:43.The Polish capital of Warsaw provides that rather unlikely

:13:44. > :13:56.setting of battling between two Norwegians. It will be a close game

:13:57. > :14:02.and a fantastic game and I think we are improving all the time. I think

:14:03. > :14:08.the temple in training and the matches as well as gone up so we are

:14:09. > :14:19.fatter. I'm very comfortable that we can be good enough tonight. Even

:14:20. > :14:35.fatter. I'm very comfortable that we a former Rangers player, the other

:14:36. > :14:43.manager holds Celtic in high esteem. We hope to be regular in Europe. Who

:14:44. > :14:47.better to judge this contest than one of the many Norwegian

:14:48. > :14:54.journalists who have come to see their countrymen take part in this

:14:55. > :15:00.contest? Celtic at a little bit more European experience and I think they

:15:01. > :15:02.will go through. Celtic will need to take a big step in that direction

:15:03. > :15:16.tonight. We

:15:17. > :15:17.have definite medal contenders in the wrestling, at the city's SECC.

:15:18. > :15:21.Rhona McLeod is there for us now . Rhona, what's the story there.?

:15:22. > :15:23.It's been 20 years since Scotland have won a medal in wrestling at the

:15:24. > :15:27.Commonwealth Games. Today, three out of their four competitors made it

:15:28. > :15:54.all the way to bronze medal matches. With two Scots in this category, no

:15:55. > :16:03.one wanted to see this draw. It was a high school pupil who beat the

:16:04. > :16:09.firefighter. She then managed to fight weight towards a bronze medal

:16:10. > :16:24.match. Unfortunately her bid for bronze lasted just 31 seconds. Then

:16:25. > :16:34.the second medal chance of the day. The former Scotland assistant coach

:16:35. > :16:45.against the man from Malta. Experience would win the day. A

:16:46. > :16:56.bronze for Scotland and celebrations for the Scottish team. Could

:16:57. > :17:08.Scotland claim another? Sarah Jones fought her opponent from India.

:17:09. > :17:32.India won by 13 to now. Organisers have confirmed that Kylie

:17:33. > :17:40.Minogue will sing at the closing ceremony on Sunday.

:17:41. > :17:42.Minogue will sing at the closing Much of the drama and success for

:17:43. > :17:45.Scotland so far has been in the pool. But the swimming has now

:17:46. > :17:48.ended, and attention is switching to another pool, in another city. The

:17:49. > :17:50.Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh is the venue for the diving

:17:51. > :17:55.competition. Heather Dewar's there now. Heather what's it been like

:17:56. > :18:09.The venue has undergone a lot of refurbishment of the last two years.

:18:10. > :18:25.Scotland have not won a medal and diving since 1958. The grandfather

:18:26. > :18:42.of this man did it back then. It has been a great benefit to assess the

:18:43. > :18:51.diving situation and a great benefit to James. Those flocking to the pool

:18:52. > :19:07.today cannot wait for a slice of the action. Why are you supporting

:19:08. > :19:10.James? He is in my diving squad. My boyfriend is competing in the

:19:11. > :19:24.diving. Edinboro is a beautiful city with really great people.

:19:25. > :19:45.Tom Daley will be appearing here on Friday as well as Saturday. On

:19:46. > :19:55.Friday he will come beating -- competing as well. If you have a

:19:56. > :19:59.ticket for Friday and you are a fan of Tom Daley you have something

:20:00. > :20:05.special coming then. While we've seen medals in

:20:06. > :20:08.gymnastics and wrestling, Scots have been involved in ten other sports in

:20:09. > :20:11.venues across Glasgow. Here's our Commowealth Games reporter Lisa

:20:12. > :20:30.Summers. At least for Scots are through to

:20:31. > :20:34.the semifinals in boxing. At Hampden, Lindsay Sharp East to the

:20:35. > :20:49.semifinals. --eased to the semifinals of the

:20:50. > :20:54.800m. Lara Mueller withdrew from the

:20:55. > :21:20.event. Scotland did not have anything to

:21:21. > :21:27.play for in the netball but have been savouring every match. The fans

:21:28. > :21:43.also had something to cheer about in badminton. If we do get a medal, it

:21:44. > :21:51.will come later in the week. For many visitors, taxes have become not

:21:52. > :21:53.transport but invaluable local knowledge. Aileen Clarke's been

:21:54. > :22:00.gauging opinion on how the Games are going from both sides of the glass.

:22:01. > :22:13.just this is the best week I've ever had driving a taxi. People are

:22:14. > :22:19.buzzing because of the whole thing. When we came out of Central Station

:22:20. > :22:24.they were New Zealanders but by the time we got to the east end they

:22:25. > :22:40.were pitch perfect and Glaswegian. One customer sign up the surprise.

:22:41. > :23:07.This is usually the quietist two weeks of the year but it has become

:23:08. > :23:11.the busiest two weeks of the year. We have not had the time to look at

:23:12. > :23:18.museums and art galleries and we would like to do that again so we

:23:19. > :23:21.will come back. The taxi drivers and other businesses in the city will

:23:22. > :23:24.hope that they and thousands of others or keep their promise to come

:23:25. > :23:38.back. After

:23:39. > :23:40.the sunshine start to the Games the Scotland did not have anything to

:23:41. > :23:43.play for in the netball but have been savouring every match. The fans

:23:44. > :23:46.also had something to cheer about in badminton. If we do get a medal, it

:23:47. > :24:16.will come later in the week. Showers will continue to ease and it

:24:17. > :24:37.will be fairly cloudy. Most of the showers will be confined to the

:24:38. > :24:44.south and south-west. It will be dry elsewhere that some of those showers

:24:45. > :24:49.could well be pretty hefty. Showers will be random in nature and if you

:24:50. > :24:53.get sunnier skies with lighter winds it will be OK but if you get the

:24:54. > :24:57.downpours you will be running for cover. This rain around the Moray

:24:58. > :25:03.Firth towards Aberdeenshire will be quite persistent and it will be

:25:04. > :25:06.drier towards the Western Isles that some light showers will continue.

:25:07. > :25:10.Those heavy and thundery downpours will continue eastwards as we

:25:11. > :25:15.continue towards the end of the day. One of the same on Friday. One to

:25:16. > :25:23.light showers and then the showers will get more power to them with

:25:24. > :25:33.highs of 19 degrees. Saturday will be showers and heavy rain. It will

:25:34. > :25:41.be heavy on the eastern side. For Glasgow it might not be a wash-out

:25:42. > :25:45.but we will have to watch. I risk of some hefty downpours on tomorrow and

:25:46. > :25:51.Friday and perhaps on Saturday. Fingers crossed that it might just

:25:52. > :25:59.stay dry. As they say, it is all to pay for.

:26:00. > :26:02.Just before we go, the Commonwealth Games, as we've seen, has thrown up

:26:03. > :26:05.some incredible images. None more so than this amazing rally in the table

:26:06. > :26:08.tennis semi final at Scotstoun, between Nigeria and Singapore. We'll
