That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me.

:00:00.:00:00.

On BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00.:00:09.

Tonight, on Reporting Scotland - Austerity is not over.

:00:10.:00:12.

As councillors demonstrate outside parliament,

:00:13.:00:13.

John Swinney says the budget set by the Chancellor's spending review

:00:14.:00:15.

Calls for the widening of a government inquiry into child abuse

:00:16.:00:29.

The same paedophile priests are abusing in boarding schools and it

:00:30.:00:42.

is the child that is harmed, not the institution.

:00:43.:00:44.

Scots scientists are working with a new type of matter - which might

:00:45.:00:48.

We look ahead to Celtic's crucial Europa league game against the Dutch

:00:49.:00:52.

I have to say I sleep soundly, so I do.

:00:53.:01:04.

And, the schoolboy whose Alex Salmond impression has made him

:01:05.:01:06.

an internet sensation - and earned him a meeting with the man himself.

:01:07.:01:21.

The Finance Secretary John Swinney has announced a multi-million pound

:01:22.:01:24.

programme to invest in new schools and health centres.

:01:25.:01:27.

But he's under pressure to defend services as he copes with cuts

:01:28.:01:29.

in day to day spending, spelled out by the Chancellor.

:01:30.:01:32.

Also at Holyrood there were angry exchanges over the sharp decline

:01:33.:01:37.

This from our political editor Brian Taylor.

:01:38.:01:52.

Swinney, Swinney, Swinney, out, out, out! Once it was Maggie, now it is

:01:53.:02:03.

John. Swinney, that is, as there are protests at Holyrood, warning

:02:04.:02:06.

against cuts. People will minimise it at the sharp

:02:07.:02:12.

end but by the same token, no matter the service we provide, and we do so

:02:13.:02:18.

to the best of our ability but we cannot continue under the

:02:19.:02:20.

circumstances. But John Swinney says he is out to

:02:21.:02:27.

protect services like these affordable homes and investment to

:02:28.:02:30.

build ten new schools and health centres.

:02:31.:02:34.

It was said that the Chancellor had brought good news with a big

:02:35.:02:40.

increase in capital spending. For years, you have been calling for

:02:41.:02:45.

more money for capital spending. The Chancellor delivered a 14% increase.

:02:46.:02:49.

But John Swinney said that the capital plans pen Seattled for

:02:50.:02:54.

earlier cuts, while the day to day spending was reduced. He is to

:02:55.:03:01.

detail plans in three week, today, the guiding principles.

:03:02.:03:05.

We are establishing a system that is fair and progressive, creating a

:03:06.:03:09.

sustainable economy to ensure opportunities for all within

:03:10.:03:13.

Scotland. Earlier, exchanges over a sharp

:03:14.:03:18.

decline in North Sea oil revenues, Labour claiming that the SNP painted

:03:19.:03:23.

a different picture. It would be bad puff if the

:03:24.:03:30.

Government's had the numbers out by 10% or 20% but the First Minister

:03:31.:03:36.

was out by 6,000% on the money needed to fund our schools,

:03:37.:03:41.

hospitals and pensions. The day after George Osborne's budget, a

:03:42.:03:46.

budget that announced plans to reduce the revenue budget of this

:03:47.:03:51.

Parliament by ?1. 5 billion in real terms over the remainder of this

:03:52.:03:56.

decade, what does Kezia Dugdale come to do? Criticise the Conservatives?

:03:57.:04:03.

No, play politics with the SNP. John Swinney will consultant before

:04:04.:04:06.

presenting his budget on December the 16th. Angus rob set earthson was

:04:07.:04:27.

speaking as the Prime Minister made the case to extend military action

:04:28.:04:32.

to Syria. Here is David Porter. Coaches

:04:33.:04:41.

leaving Glasgow Airport recently, caring some of the 100 refugees,

:04:42.:04:48.

resettled in Scotland. Cities like Aleppo have been almost raised to

:04:49.:04:54.

the ground by the ongoing conflict. Britain has been bombing Isis in

:04:55.:04:58.

Iraq for two years but there is no parliamentary authority to attack

:04:59.:05:02.

them in neighbouring Syria. After the recent events in Paris, the

:05:03.:05:05.

Prime Minister beliefs that should change. That bomb in Paris, that

:05:06.:05:09.

could have been London. If they had their way it would be London. I cab

:05:10.:05:14.

not stand here to say we are safe from the threats, we are not. I

:05:15.:05:18.

cannot say we will remove the threat through the action we take. But do I

:05:19.:05:24.

stand here with advice behind me that taking action is to degrade and

:05:25.:05:27.

reduce that threat over time? Absolutely. Extending RAF operations

:05:28.:05:35.

to severa divides the MPs. Labour and the Conservatives are split on

:05:36.:05:39.

the issue. The SNP is highly sceptical.

:05:40.:05:42.

The Prime Minister asked us to consider his plan. We have listened

:05:43.:05:47.

closely, however, key questions posed by the Foreign Affairs Select

:05:48.:05:52.

Committee remain unanswered. Unless the Prime Minister answers these

:05:53.:05:56.

questions satisfactorily, the Scottish National Party will not

:05:57.:06:00.

vote for air strikes in Syria. Concern among others that air

:06:01.:06:02.

strikes could do more harm than good.

:06:03.:06:07.

We do need to be cautious of the risk of recruitment. The people that

:06:08.:06:12.

bombed London in 2005 and the people who bombed Paris lived here. We will

:06:13.:06:16.

not bomb them out of existence. We know that this may well increase

:06:17.:06:22.

recruitment of extremists here. I don't believe he has answered our

:06:23.:06:27.

questions adequately on issues like ground troops or a long-term rat

:06:28.:06:30.

gichlt further to the comments made, will there be a commitment to appear

:06:31.:06:35.

before the committee to give evidence before a motion comes

:06:36.:06:38.

before the House to approve military action? Ministers are to thing up

:06:39.:06:43.

the Parliament aarithmetic. The UK Government will only call a vote if

:06:44.:06:47.

it is confident it can win. That could come at early as next week.

:06:48.:06:57.

Meanwhile the SNP's international affairs spokesman, Alex Salmond,

:06:58.:06:59.

has faced some criticism for not being in the House of Commons

:07:00.:07:02.

Where was Alex Salmond? It is where he went after Question Time that

:07:03.:07:19.

irritated his critics. At lunch time Alex Salmond was in the Scottish

:07:20.:07:24.

National Portrait Gallery, unveiling a portrait of himself by the artist

:07:25.:07:30.

Gerrard M Burns. The political opponents say that is to put ego

:07:31.:07:35.

ahead of parliamentary duty. Labour say it is ridiculous he was not in

:07:36.:07:38.

the House of Commons as the Prime Minister set out the case for air

:07:39.:07:43.

strikes against so-called Islamic State targets in Syria. The SNP say

:07:44.:07:49.

that the criticism is crass, as within the last hour here at

:07:50.:07:53.

Holyrood Alex Salmond has been hosting a reception for war

:07:54.:07:57.

veterans. They say he spent much of the day in this Parliament

:07:58.:08:00.

representing his constituents. Remember he is both an MSP and an

:08:01.:08:06.

MP. The nationalists also make clear if

:08:07.:08:11.

and when there is to be a vote on military action in Syria, Alex

:08:12.:08:14.

Salmond will be in his place in the House of Commons and will make his

:08:15.:08:19.

views heard. Glenn many thanks.

:08:20.:08:21.

Still to come on the The world premiere of a new opera -

:08:22.:08:29.

sung in Shetland dialect . we're live at Celtic Park

:08:30.:08:32.

in the countdown to tonight's Europa And we're off court and

:08:33.:08:35.

on camera with the Murray brothers Pressure is mounting on the Scottish

:08:36.:08:39.

government to widen the scope of the inquiry it announced

:08:40.:08:58.

a year ago into historical Labour says the inquiry won't be

:08:59.:09:01.

able to investigate many cases of abuse, unlike similar

:09:02.:09:04.

investigations in other countries. Victims' groups are also calling

:09:05.:09:06.

for a compensation scheme, Our Social Affairs Correspondent,

:09:07.:09:08.

Reevel Alderson has this exclusive programme: Government says the

:09:09.:09:21.

inquiry set up to investigate historical allegations of child

:09:22.:09:26.

abuse is the widest ever. So far it has not taken evidence but there are

:09:27.:09:30.

calls for major changes to be made in how it operates. The survivors

:09:31.:09:35.

say that the remit is limited. Abuse carried out in boarding schools will

:09:36.:09:39.

be investigated. Other cases in parishes, day schools or youth

:09:40.:09:44.

organisations will not. Victims say that the Education Secretary, who

:09:45.:09:47.

announced the inquiry must act quickly.

:09:48.:09:51.

The feeling is that it is a cover-up. The same paedophile

:09:52.:09:56.

priests abused children in primary schools and in boarding schools and

:09:57.:10:00.

in residential homes but the children abused by the same

:10:01.:10:04.

paedophiles are not covered. It was the child it that was harmed, not

:10:05.:10:09.

the institution. The survivors organisations are

:10:10.:10:14.

united in demanding a rethink, even though the Government say it is will

:10:15.:10:19.

delay the lengthy process. The Government have the discretion

:10:20.:10:23.

to change the remit that is why we are seeking a meeting with the

:10:24.:10:27.

Education Secretary to get her to change the remit it should not delay

:10:28.:10:31.

it in any way. In the Scottish Parliament, Labour

:10:32.:10:34.

have been meeting survivors and are calling for more to be done to help

:10:35.:10:39.

them while the inquiry goes on. I have written to the Cabinet

:10:40.:10:45.

Secretary to indicate that the survivors seek redress and

:10:46.:10:47.

psychological support and other agency support too.

:10:48.:10:52.

The sooner is delivered, the better. Survivors in Scotland point to the

:10:53.:10:58.

inquiry in Northern Ireland with a wider remit and offers the victims

:10:59.:11:02.

financial redress, in some cases, compensation which is not available

:11:03.:11:05.

here. David's abuse is to be examined by

:11:06.:11:10.

the Scottish inquiry but he says that the government is ignoring the

:11:11.:11:14.

needs of the victims. There is no redress, no financial

:11:15.:11:19.

help, there is still no kind of financial assistance for anything

:11:20.:11:24.

for the victims. In a statement, the Scottish Government said: For the

:11:25.:11:29.

inquiry to reach clear conclusions and recommendations, it must focus

:11:30.:11:31.

on a set remit and time frame. The former Rangers chief executive

:11:32.:11:38.

Charles Green has lost his battle with the club over

:11:39.:11:40.

the payment of his legal fees. Mister Green and a number of others

:11:41.:11:43.

face trial next year after being charged with offences relating to

:11:44.:11:46.

the takeover of the club in 2012. Charles Green argued his contract at

:11:47.:11:49.

Rangers covered all legal expenses relating to his position during

:11:50.:11:51.

and after his time in charge. But a judge at the Court of Session

:11:52.:11:54.

ruled that Rangers don't have to pay Plans for a rail link

:11:55.:11:58.

between Glasgow Airport and A previous proposal was scrapped

:11:59.:12:08.

in 2009. If approved, the link could

:12:09.:12:12.

be operational by 2025. These images showed a vision, a rail

:12:13.:12:25.

ling to take passengers from Glasgow to the airport. It formed a part of

:12:26.:12:30.

the bid for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. But it hit the buffers when

:12:31.:12:34.

scrapped by the Scottish Government in 2009. But today it appears to be

:12:35.:12:40.

back on track because of the city deal, funding for the UK and the

:12:41.:12:44.

Scottish governments. We are committed to this as we have

:12:45.:12:49.

tied down the resource allocation, and irrespective of government views

:12:50.:12:53.

this is an agreed city deal with the partner authorities and we want to

:12:54.:12:55.

deliver the project. Airport bosses is a I that the

:12:56.:12:58.

project presents an exciting opportunity.

:12:59.:13:02.

We are enjoying years of growth here at Glasgow. We are on a trajectory

:13:03.:13:10.

of reaching 10 million passengers by 2020. At other similar sized

:13:11.:13:16.

airports, the rail links are part of the transport mix.

:13:17.:13:21.

Two options are considered, a rail link and a standard train to

:13:22.:13:27.

paisley. The original scheme was halted by the Scottish Government,

:13:28.:13:31.

it said because of UK Government cuts. Today they say: We will be

:13:32.:13:37.

cautious, with the approach, to take stock so we don't have another for

:13:38.:13:43.

example, Edinburgh trams. At the Glasgow airport, do the customers

:13:44.:13:47.

want a rail link? It will speed up the traffic. For me, the shuttle bus

:13:48.:13:54.

from the city centre is good. I think that we are not happy.

:13:55.:13:58.

At the moment the main option to get to Glasgow Airport is by road,

:13:59.:14:03.

whether by taxi, bus or car but if either of the ideas is approved, it

:14:04.:14:09.

could be under construction by 2021. There could be a new rail link for

:14:10.:14:11.

passengers by 2025. And now for something

:14:12.:14:26.

completely different - really. Scientists at Heriot-Watt University

:14:27.:14:28.

are working with an entirely new Spontelectric materials carry

:14:29.:14:30.

a massive electric charge - and could help explain why life

:14:31.:14:33.

exists on Earth. This from our science

:14:34.:14:35.

correspondent Kenneth Macdonald. It is cold in here, cold enough to

:14:36.:14:45.

turn gas into a liquid. But that is just the start.

:14:46.:14:50.

What we have here is the high vacuum chamber. Up the top there we have

:14:51.:14:55.

our refrigerator. They have created a vacuum like that

:14:56.:15:00.

in inter stella space. If you think about the house Holland

:15:01.:15:09.

vacuum cleaner, the pressure in that is about 100th atmosphere eric. We

:15:10.:15:16.

go to 100 billions of atmosphere perric pressure.

:15:17.:15:21.

It is all to create stuff. If the atoms are arranged rebelling Latin

:15:22.:15:26.

America, it can be a crystal like the meltal if is more irregular,

:15:27.:15:34.

then it is like this glass. But what is in there, spont electrics is a

:15:35.:15:41.

new form of solid matter. A gas like carbon monoxide becomes a solid,

:15:42.:15:48.

with massive electric field, more than 100 million volts a metre.

:15:49.:15:53.

Because the conditions in the lab make those like stars are forming it

:15:54.:15:59.

could explain why a sun like our own was the right size to develop life

:16:00.:16:01.

on earth. . We need molecules to help form

:16:02.:16:10.

small stars, without small stars you don't necessarily get stars that

:16:11.:16:14.

live very long and you don't get evolution.

:16:15.:16:20.

Spont electrics was first created in Denmark. Herriot at University is

:16:21.:16:27.

taking them forward. But so far, spont electrics are too small to

:16:28.:16:29.

see. We cannot see them.

:16:30.:16:35.

They are very volatile, we must look at them indirectly.

:16:36.:16:40.

A spin iv off could be better video displays, it could explain why we

:16:41.:16:43.

are all here, intriguingly. Now, think of an opera world

:16:44.:17:11.

premiere and what comes to mind? Perhaps, a night of glamour at

:17:12.:17:14.

La Scala in Milan? The town's playing host to

:17:15.:17:16.

the opening night of "Hirda" - In Opera, but now set in a Shetland

:17:17.:17:27.

held. -- it has all of the common themes of an opera. Shetland is such

:17:28.:17:31.

a vibrant, interesting place with this immense musical language,

:17:32.:17:37.

history, and heritage. The cast has faced the challenge of learning to

:17:38.:17:42.

sing in Shetland dialect. The story of Hirda is set in a modern-day

:17:43.:17:47.

Shetland where a woman has married a sailor on the island. And his

:17:48.:17:51.

brother, Alistair, who has been away for a long time, comes back and

:17:52.:17:56.

create a bit of Hirda, or a bit of chaos. -- creates. It is a bit of a

:17:57.:18:04.

challenge vocally. Because a lot of the sounds we are used to in grand

:18:05.:18:08.

opera I bit more open, a bit more clear to the ear. Whereas, when you

:18:09.:18:12.

sing in dialect, particularly this one, a lot of the vowels are

:18:13.:18:24.

shorter, or colloquial. Being the only native, I get picky about the

:18:25.:18:36.

dialect. But the singers have been incredible. They are picking up this

:18:37.:18:39.

language they often never heard before, let alone spoke before.

:18:40.:18:45.

After denied's premiere in Lerwick, it moves north, to Britain's most

:18:46.:18:55.

northerly island. Who said opera was just for mainland dwellers?

:18:56.:18:57.

Let's get the latest sport now - from David.

:18:58.:19:01.

Yes David, it's not Opera but there will be plenty of singing - mostly

:19:02.:19:05.

in English - at Celtic Park tonight; where the Scottish champions play

:19:06.:19:08.

Defeat for Celtic will end their hopes of reaching

:19:09.:19:11.

the knockout stage - so they have to take something from the match.

:19:12.:19:14.

We can cross to the stadium now where

:19:15.:19:16.

our senior football reporter Chris Mclaughlin is on duty and Chris you

:19:17.:19:19.

Yes, the campaign this season has been like the Glasgow weather,

:19:20.:19:32.

miserable and showing little sign of improvement. I have my usual Celtic

:19:33.:19:40.

Park sidekick. We know that Celtic have some major injury worries,

:19:41.:19:45.

especially in midfield. Four regulars missing. McGregor comes in

:19:46.:19:52.

this evening. How do you see them lining up tonight? I think they will

:19:53.:19:56.

go with the usual back four. The only coming in left back. Rogers

:19:57.:20:01.

will sit in front of the back four. Either side of him will be Armstrong

:20:02.:20:07.

and McGregor and James Forrest, and Leigh Griffiths upfront. But it is a

:20:08.:20:11.

night for young players to step up. They are getting their chance to

:20:12.:20:16.

come out on this arena and perform. It is must win, how do you see it

:20:17.:20:23.

playing out? Ajax normally play expansive football. Celtic will get

:20:24.:20:26.

opportunities. With the rain falling down it could be a night of

:20:27.:20:31.

mistakes. But I expect Celtic to get an opportunity to score. Thanks.

:20:32.:20:35.

Celtic have the festive light up outside the stadium. If they are to

:20:36.:20:40.

have European football after Christmas, though, they must win

:20:41.:20:42.

tonight, David. Thanks very much.

:20:43.:20:44.

There's more from Pat and Chris and full live commentary in

:20:45.:20:47.

BBC Radio Scotland's coverage on 810 medium wave.

:20:48.:20:48.

The Murray brothers, Andy and Jamie, have been confirmed as the doubles

:20:49.:20:59.

pairing which could help Great Britain beat Belgium and win its

:21:00.:21:03.

first Davis Cup title in nearly 80 years. Andy, the world number two,

:21:04.:21:07.

also plays in the singles which start tomorrow. Let's hear from the

:21:08.:21:12.

Murrays and our correspondent who is in Ghent.

:21:13.:21:17.

In one of the prettiest medieval towns of Europe, those hoping that

:21:18.:21:29.

Britain's best chances in tennis could be clinched by the brothers

:21:30.:21:33.

from Dunblane. We mustn't think too much about the size of the occasion,

:21:34.:21:39.

just the maps you are playing. Walking out to represent your

:21:40.:21:41.

country, there will be hairs on the back of the neck standing up. It is

:21:42.:21:46.

an amazing opportunity, we both know that. We want to take advantage. We

:21:47.:21:50.

want to perform the best we can to get the result we want. It hasn't

:21:51.:22:00.

all been serious business. CHUCKLES

:22:01.:22:06.

On the low roof in Ghent, more hijinks. Some of his forehands have

:22:07.:22:10.

ended up in there. CHUCKLES

:22:11.:22:20.

None of us, I don't think. Also in good humour, fans who have travelled

:22:21.:22:24.

despite security fears. We are here, we are quite happy. Since

:22:25.:22:29.

we've arrived we feel more assured. It is one of the biggest prizes in

:22:30.:22:34.

sport. Andy Murray is determined to walk away with it. Belgium, beware.

:22:35.:22:41.

The preparations are complete, the talking can stop, it is time for

:22:42.:22:45.

some tennis. Britain has had won the Davis Cup since 1936. Andy and Jamie

:22:46.:22:50.

Murray hope to change that over the course of this weekend.

:22:51.:22:53.

Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend has told his players

:22:54.:22:56.

never to forget how low they felt after losing to Northampton Saints

:22:57.:22:59.

They play Treviso in the Pro Twelve league tomorrow,

:23:00.:23:03.

and Forward Chris Fusaro, that's him with team mate Ryan

:23:04.:23:05.

Grant, says Townsend's words made a real impact in the dressing room.

:23:06.:23:12.

Greg Owen said to us, remember this feeling. Remember the pain that you

:23:13.:23:20.

So let's get the latest weather forecast, from Gillian.

:25:54.:26:00.

It was a day of contrasts across the country. Cloudy for much of the

:26:01.:26:05.

West. Aberdeen was the warmest place in the UK. 15 Celsius, around double

:26:06.:26:11.

what we would expect that this time of year. Big changes to come

:26:12.:26:15.

tomorrow. Much colder air digs in across the country. It is not with

:26:16.:26:20.

us yet. Tonight we stay on the mild side. Cloudy with bits and pieces of

:26:21.:26:24.

rain. Clear skies towards the east coast. Persistent and heavy rain

:26:25.:26:29.

into the Western Isles and the north and west towards morning.

:26:30.:26:31.

Strengthening south-western winds reaching gale force over the

:26:32.:26:34.

northern and western isles and the north-west coast. That band of heavy

:26:35.:26:39.

rain tomorrow sweeps to the east across the country. We have a yellow

:26:40.:26:42.

warning from the Met office in the highlands due to a risk of localised

:26:43.:26:47.

flooding. Clear, colder, but showery conditions into the North West

away the further north and west you go. Strong winds, driving showers,

and though shoppers turning increasingly wintry. Tomorrow, we

will have snow to about 200 metres to the North. That will take in some

tricky conditions to content with and we could see some icy stretches

:27:22.:27:27.

on the roads tomorrow night. A cold start Saturday. Wintry showers

across the North to start the day. Then a band of heavy and persistent

:27:31.:27:35.

rain. But slightly less cold air attached to this one. This will

strong to gale force, and still on the cool side. Temperatures five to
