That's all from the BBC News at Six. Goodbye from me, on BBC One, we join

the teams where Another person is detained after

human remains are found in Montrose. The former Scottish tennis

champion who is battling early As soon as we start hitting a ball,

it seems to calm him down, he looks happy, he is himself.

And, from being banned from art school to facing scandal

for painting nudes - the challenges faced by female artists.

The Health Secretary says she's been in touch with officials at

the country's biggest hospital after an elderly man died on a trolley.

The patient was referred to the Queen Elizabeth University

Hospital in Glasgow on Monday by his GP - he died after a six-hour wait.

Scotland's newest state-of-the-art hospital, the Queen Elizabeth

University Hospital in Glasgow. Patients arriving here are seen in

the accident and emergency department or if they have been

referred by their GP, they go straight to the GP referral unit, so

it was here that after seeing his GP, and elderly man came on Monday

night but after being initially assessed, he spent six hours on a

hospital trolley and died there on Tuesday morning. Firstly I would

like to express our deepest sympathy to the family, what I can tell you

is that the gentleman arrived in our assessment unit around midnight and

was triage by the nursing team within 30 minutes of arrival. What

happened after that in terms of the delay is now subject to our ongoing

investigation. Do you know whether the hold-up was that there was no

better him or might they have been some other hold-up in assessing him?

It is unclear what the hold-up was, there are different stages in the

process for admitting patients and that is what we will be looking

into. Since it opened at this hospital has been struggling, some

weeks more than others, to hit the four-hour waiting target in A A

flavour of the problems engendered in June featured in a BBC

documentary this week. We had some problems in the first week in making

sure patients referred by their GP were seen quickly enough. A special

team was put in by the Scottish government in the summer to try to

improve the situation, including looking at the GP referral unit

which the health board admits on Monday night was a very busy,

although that's not unusual. We have made it clear to Glasgow that they

have to make some immediate changes to the assessment unit, and over the

next few weeks, they are going to make some more substantial changes

to that unit to increase the capacity with in it. The review is

expected to report within a couple of weeks. It should provide clear

answers as to what an elderly man, thoughtful enough by his GP to go to

hospital, six hours after he arrived there, died there, still waiting on

a bed for the appropriate medical treatment.

Does this flag up wider issues? It certainly seems to. We asked the

Scottish government how many hospitals around the country operate

a similar way of working. They told us that our 30 A units and 13

referral units. These A units are covered by the four-hour waiting

targets by those targets which means results are published, these targets

don't reply to the GP referral units. If this patient hadn't passed

away this week, we may never have known he had been awaiting the six

hours. It seems odd that waiting times are measured if you go in this

door of a hospital, but not if you go in that other door. Both

departments are taking on scheduled patients and that's something the

Health Secretary said tonight she may need to look at after this

review. A Scottish trader has been charged

in San Francisco with defrauding James Craig from Dunragit near

Stranraer is accused of tweeting false news about two companies - a

move designed to make share prices fall, so HE could try to profit,

by buying and reselling shares. The home that we understand of

62-year-old James Craig, accused of fraud charges filed by thousands of

miles away by the securities and exchange commission in California.

Today Police Scotland confirmed they were asked by the FBI to assist with

the education and officers searched an address in Stranraer in April

2014. His alleged that in late January 2013, Mr Craig created

Twitter accounts that looked like the real accounts of well-known

investment researchers and may force statements, saying two companies

were under investigation. It is claimed the Tweet caused a 28% fall

in one company's share firm and also for another. It's alleged he then

tried to profit personally by buying and sharing shares. Apparently only

raised about $100 but investors sustained losses of around 1.5

million. The Internet has become a forum for those interested in the

stock market to get news and advice at the US authorities are warning

investors it also provides an avenue to fraudsters who may use social

media to try and manipulate by spreading misleading information. Mr

Craig's current whereabouts are unknown.

Police investigating the discovery of human remains

at a house in Montrose say they have detained a woman.

A man has already been charged with murder, and will appear in court

Our reporter, Steven Duff joins us now - Steven,

Still quite a bit of police activity here in Montrose, not far from the

town high Street. It was Wednesday evening when police officers

involved in a missing persons and quarry work called to an address

here and discovered human remains. Since then, 39-year-old man has

charged and arrested, police Police Scotland say a woman has also been

detained. There's been described as a

confirmation about the identification of the remains.

The boy is also charged with having a blade on school premises.

They say the new force has failed on the issue

of local accountability, AND on promised savings of public money.

However, the Scottish Government point out

that Labour also supported the introduction of the single force.

Here's our political correspondent, Andrew Kerr.

Watching over us for two and half years but in that short time, Police

Scotland's apparent tailings frequently hit the headlines.

Officers failed to respond to the M 9 crash, report is expected into

that. Investigations continue into the death of a man in custody in

Fife. Today a Labour's Justice spokesman announced his review of

the service. He wanted officers and staff to receive proper support to

carry out their duties. Labour say that's all needed because

the current setup isn't working. Fraud happens when you have promised

a service and you pay for it and you don't get it. The public were

promised a better police service, locally based, delivering local

needs. What we have got is a centralised servers, running to the

agenda of a government, trying to save ?1 billion as quickly as

possible. The Justice Secretary wasn't available to address those

points but an SNP colleague defended the service. When we had different

forces in Scotland, the service. When we had different

happen every month, but they were not coming to national attention,

now because it's Police Scotland and under more

now because it's Police Scotland and level, all this comes to the media

and its great, it's fantastic. Teething problems can be expected

during any major change but Labour's Graham Pearson said some officers

were in tears as they spoke to him about the service. The Scottish

Government are no doubt keen to address outstanding issues but as we

approach the election in May, Labour are even keener to point them out.

You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.

Still to come on tonight's programme...

The struggles faced by female artists - an exhibition of paintings

And the Celtic manager is defiant. He says he expects more time to

prove himself. I will bring you news of a first four Andy Murray,

staging. The first flight from Sharm

el-Sheikh to Scotland since planes have begun bringing back UK tourists

stranded in the Egyptian resort, It's believed the Thomson flight to

Glasgow will touch down early tomorrow morning. UK flights were

halted on Wednesday, amid fears that a Russian plane crash last weekend,

was caused by a bomb. ScotRail has been fined more than a

quarter of a million pounds by the Government body Transport Scotland,

for failing to meet standards for clean toilets, litter, graffiti

and seat reservations this summer. Between July and September,

the operators, Abellio, fell short in eight out of 17 areas

of station performance, and eight of Specialist soldiers from the

Army Intelligence Corps are training alongside American Marines

in Edinburgh. It's part of an exercise to simulate

a joint emergency response where UK and US citizens are deemed to be

in danger. Operation Beeney Odyssey. The

scenario is a rapidly destabilising state, fictional nation, UK and US

citizens in danger. A trim attic similar of often all too real

events. -- dramatic simulation. This intelligence cell has been running

20 47 here in Edinburgh for five days. The biggest challenge for a

unit like this is gathering all of that information, sifting through it

and identifying the vital pieces of information to pass on. We have been

getting reporting of a possible IED... More than 500 sources at

length information have to be analysed, social media to multiple

TV news feeds, even more complex with two nations working together.

For they found was there were a lot of similarities in terms of

processes and procedures that we implement, with different words that

we use but at the end of the day, the processes and procedures remain

remarkably similar. Realistically, the Brits and the Americans tend to

work together in the real world so in the training world it's important

that we practice beforehand. In terms of its relevance, the scenario

is based around a fictional culture that descends into civil war but in

real world, we see things like the Ebola crisis, clearly the Brits and

Americans are on call to provide humanitarian relief. The exercise is

now running down. Senior officers say it has been a successful stop

Other stories from around the country today. The oil giant has

announced that positions were at risk in August, following a

consultation with contractors, around 100 offshore crew jobs are

being cut. Police in Lanarkshire are issuing a fresh appeal for a man who

has been missing for over a week. They say they are concerned for the

well-being of 34-year-old Gary Pugh from Motherwell, last seen on

Thursday evening and believed to have been carrying camping gear. HMS

Diamond has docked in her native port of Aberdeen. Members of the

crew are taking part in remembrance services over the weekend. It's the

first time in four years she has visited the city. She has been

deployed on operations in the Gulf and to review chemical work and is.

And Edinburgh school is putting the finishing touches to a poppy

installation in memory of former pupils who died in the first and 2nd

mural, one for every student who died from the school.

Former Scottish tennis champion, Malcolm Watt, was once ranked 59th

it's interesting researchers studying the impact regular exercise

Hits the mark. Once ranked number one in Scotland, he has beaten

Wimbledon champion, Pat Cash and represented Britain at the World

Championships. Wimbledon champion, Pat Cash and

is the only place the 46-year-old feels completely at ease. When we

are standing off the court, he is often agitated and not too sure of

his environment. As soon as we start hitting a ball, he calms down. He

looks happeny and he is Malcy, exactly the way he was when he was

competing. Now, though, Malcolm is more likely to watch the major

competitions on TV. Diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia four years

ago, he needs constant care. A far cry from the young man who took the

tennis world by storm He entered the normal tournaments in Scotland and

won them all with ease. He went down south and won a lot of tournaments

down south. He was good south and won a lot of tournaments

actually go professional. Malcolm is one of the youngest people in

Scotland to be diagnosed with this unusual form of dementia. His

doctors and other experts are watching the impact these regular

knockabouts have on his condition. The fuel for your brain is oxygen.

The more exercise you do, the more exercise for the brain. Even if the

brain is damaged by the dementia, that exercise brings oxygen and

helps your brain function better. Malcolm Watts may not be the man he

used to be. His dementia has cost him dearly but on court, he still

plays like a professional and he can certainly give his opponents the run

around. That takes us nicely top tonight's

The pressure is once again on the Parkhead boss following last

Here's Our Senior Football Reporter, Chris McLaughlin.

On a wet morning at Lennoxtown as Celtic's fringe players were

limbering up, the manager was preparing to face the media, hoping

for a better reception than his first-team players got at fulltime

last night. COMMENTATOR: Molde have done the double on the Scottish

champions. 2-1 the final scoreline. Too easy the capitulation and so the

pressure is once again on the man in charge. You have spoken about this

job as being a project, a long-term project, but do you feel you'll get

the time to finish the project, are you confident you will get the time?

When you see the history of the club, they have had a manager before

who has struggled in Europe in the beginning but made it right and they

stand by their manager. That's what I expect with me as well. So, how

does his record compare? He has had 24 games in Europe. In the same

period Martin O'Neil won 14 and lost nine. Gordon Strachan lost 7 with 12

defeats. Under the last boss, Neil Lennon, it was ten victories and

nine defeats so. Far for Deila is wins eight wins and eight defeats.

Neil Lennon didn't do so well in his first two season bus given the time

he produced one of the most famous results in Celtic's history against

Barcelona. That will be fresh in Celtic's fans memories. That works

the other way, it is so fresh in Celtic's fans memories. That works

Winning with an ace. Despite some impressive tennis from the Scot,

there were moments when his opponents had him not quite on the

ropes but a set-down. But when the real pressure was on, Murray was up

to it when Gasquet didn't. The world number three, proving to be the

last-man standing. COMMENTATOR: Didn't he do well to

turn that around. Glasgow and Edinburgh have named

a number of Scotland players for In all, 10 of the players who took

part in the World Cup for Edinburgh welcome the Scotland front

row of Al Dickenson, Ross Ford and WP Nell - all starting against

Munster at Murrayfield tomorrow. New captain Jonny Gray

and fullback Stuart Hogg are among those picked for Glasgow's

away match against Cardiff Blues. It is great. They have come back and

have been really positive in training. They have trained ten days

now. They look as if they can't wait to play. They have shown that in

training. They seem happy. We have Tommy sea more and goer Dan Reid

playing well and playing fantastic gales. It is great to see them

buzzing when they come back into their own environment. It is a very

big boost for us. We still have a number of players unavailable. Guys

like Gilco and Ben Tuliss and they are not going to start this week. So

it is great to have them and Fordy back together with Matty. A

fantastic boost for the squad. Russell Knox shot the best round

An exhibition celebrating the work of Scotland's female

It's the first time an exhibition entirely devoted to

women has been staged, and as our arts correspondent

Pauline McLean reports, they faced some very real challenges.

Being an artist isn't easy and for women there was the added challenge

of having no access to art education until the middle of the 19th

century. Even those whose husbands and fathers were artists, too, had

to consider their art a hobby, or use only their surname to be taken

seriously. Being royal didn't make it any easier. Princess Louise was

Queen Victoria's daughter and the first member of the Royal Family to

go to art college. But like all women, she discovered that art

education had its limitations. Women were unable to attend life

drawing classes until the 1900s and even then segregated and chaperoned.

And that breakthrough didn't change the culture, which still assumed

women should only tackle certain subjects as the artist Joe

discovered in the 19 #r50s with a nude painting of her male friend.

The fact she painted a man, her friend, lying naked on a bed, they

thought it was the most terrible thing. Had it been a man painting a

woman there would have been absolutely nothing done about it.

Unfortunately the male art critics at the time just took it apart. Not

because it wasn't a good painting, because it is a fabulous painting,

but because it was a woman doing it. Joan didn't paint another nude, but

plenty of other artists Z they made war memorials and became war

artists, painting scenes that would have been deemed unsuitable 80 years

before. That's why curators believe this show, the first of its kind, is

long overdue There are ease e issues that women artists have had to face

as a result of their gender. I think by looking at those issues, we can

approach an otherwise familiar chapter of our history in a new and

hopefully inspiring way. Autumn's warm weather produced

a rare third-hatching of biting midges, according to the author

of the Scottish Midge Forecast. Dr Alison Blackwell says

the consequences could be that we'll be greeted by even more

of the insects next year. Overall this year,

there were fewer than previous years because the cold and wet summer

affected the two main hatches. And talking of cold, wet, weather,

well wet at least, over to Gillian for the forecast. Bot about the

We'll all see our share of rain over the weekend. There will be strong

and brighter spells but the general picture is a brighter one. Good news

if you have fireworks planned, a dry evening for most but later in the

night a batch of showers pushing in from the west and one or two on the

heavy side. Quite breezy, strong winds around the coast but those

tending to ease somewhat as we go through the course of the night.

Temperature-wise a few chilly spots. Most likely Aberdeenshire and

northern pertshire though for most certainly not a cold night. Tomorrow

we start the day mainly dry A few showers in the north. Some

brightness but then comes more rain sweeping in from the south, turny

heavy and spreading in across most of the country during the afternoon.

This is the picture around 3.00. A wet one for Dumfries and Galloway,

Ayrshire, the bored will r Borders into the central belt and into

Angus. That rain getting us as far north as Aberdeenshire. The driest

weather towards the Moray coast. Drier and brighter weather along

with a scattering of showers for the Western Isles and the Highlands

hanging on to sunshine. For hill walkers tomorrow, it'll be the

north-western ranges hanging on to the best of the conditions A few

showers to start the day, falling as sleet across the tops but generally

dry and bright weather. The Cairngorms should stay dry until the

afternoon and then the rain moves N the winds from the west, starting at

galeforce and slowly moderating through the day. But for those more

southern ranges, a bit of a wash you. The rain heavy, quickly

spreading across all parts and it'll hang around for most of the day. So

it'll be late afternoon and tomorrow evening before we see the rain

clearing. So possibly a damp start to your fireworks events tomorrow

night but then that rain does clear and actually those clearing skies,

good news if you are hoping for a glimpse of the northern lights which

will be possible tomorrow night. Into Sunday and the next batch of

rain moves in as the low tracks out to the west. We'll start out mainly

dry with brightness. Then comes the rain sweeping northwards right

across the country. Poor conditions for the southern uphills, the hills

of Angus and Argyll and accompanying by strong to galeforce winds. Those

winds touching severe gales in the far north-west as we head overnight

into Monday. For the part of the week, remaining very unsettled.

There will be showers, longer spells of rain and strong-to-galeforce

winds. That he at forecast S. November weather. Thank you.

8.00pm and the late bulletin after the Ten O'Clock News. Until then,
