and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00.:00:09.

Ruth Davidson tells the Conservative conference she will fight

:00:10.:00:12.

for NHS spending increases and against tax rises.

:00:13.:00:14.

College lecturers across Scotland vote to strike,

We're on patrol with the pothole squad in Edinburgh -

:00:17.:00:20.

they can't work fast enough for the capital's drivers.

:00:21.:00:30.

One minute you are driving and the next minute, straight into a

:00:31.:00:33.

pothole. Also

:00:34.:00:37.

on the programme: From road to rail. We get the first look

:00:38.:00:39.

at new driverless trains being designed for

:00:40.:00:41.

the Glasgow Subway. And Andy Murray gets the Davis Cup

:00:42.:00:44.

campaign off to a good start with a straight sets victory over

:00:45.:00:48.

Japan's Taro Daniel. The Scottish Conservative leader,

:00:49.:01:06.

Ruth Davidson, has promised to fight for NHS spending increases

:01:07.:01:09.

and against Scotland becoming She made the pledges at her party's

:01:10.:01:11.

conference in Edinburgh, where both she and the Prime

:01:12.:01:19.

Minister David Cameron argued that only the Conservatives

:01:20.:01:22.

could hold the next From the conference,

:01:23.:01:24.

here's Glenn Campbell. Ruth Davidson is not playing to win

:01:25.:01:40.

power at Holyrood. At Murrayfield, her pitch is for the Conservatives

:01:41.:01:45.

to displace labour and become the main opposition to an SNP

:01:46.:01:46.

government. To challenge them to reduce NHS

:01:47.:01:48.

targets and keep the health budget rising. Spending on

:01:49.:01:57.

our health service should rise each year by

:01:58.:01:59.

whatever is biased, whether that is inflation, 2%, or by extra funding

:02:00.:02:06.

from Westminster. Every single penny passed on.

:02:07.:02:09.

She said the time was not right for a tax cut but promised to resist tax

:02:10.:02:18.

rises. There is no justification, none at all, for demanding a higher

:02:19.:02:22.

tax burden on Scottish families than on people elsewhere in the UK. It

:02:23.:02:33.

would have been laughable previously for a Conservative leader to suggest

:02:34.:02:36.

the Tories might overtake the Labour Party. To be honest, it is still an

:02:37.:02:44.

ambitious target. The polls suggest they are still third placed that

:02:45.:02:48.

begat between them and Labour has never been narrower, and the Prime

:02:49.:02:52.

Minister things it can be closed. Today we are the effective

:02:53.:02:55.

opposition and for the next 62 days we will fight to the official

:02:56.:03:02.

opposition. He also touched on his case for us to remain in the EU.

:03:03.:03:05.

We have worked so hard to get our economy growing, to get our people

:03:06.:03:09.

into work, to see living standards rise.

:03:10.:03:15.

Leaving the EU could put so much of that at risk. On the fringe, the

:03:16.:03:24.

alternative view. I think we should be to make our own laws and control

:03:25.:03:28.

our borders, which is why I want to leave because we cannot do that

:03:29.:03:33.

while in the European Union. The EU vote divides the Tory party but in

:03:34.:03:36.

Scotland they have a Holyrood election to focus on first. Let us

:03:37.:03:39.

win for Scotland. Brian Taylor joins me from

:03:40.:03:50.

Edinburgh. We have heard from Ruth Davidson but what is the strategy

:03:51.:03:56.

underlying what she said? In essence, to some extent it is a

:03:57.:04:02.

legacy from the referendum. She is positing the prospect of a

:04:03.:04:06.

continuing SNP government with Nicola Sturgeon returned as First

:04:07.:04:09.

Minister and the opinion polls bear that out. It is a legacy from the

:04:10.:04:16.

referendum. Just as the SNP have managed to corral the yes vote to

:04:17.:04:20.

continue to vote for them in elections, so Ruth Davidson believes

:04:21.:04:24.

a substantial section of the No voters can become rows to the

:04:25.:04:28.

Tories. She was hugely tempted to offer a tax cut as part of the

:04:29.:04:32.

programme but it was not playing well on the doorstep, so at the very

:04:33.:04:36.

least she offers to undercut the labour and Liberal Democrat offer.

:04:37.:04:41.

Basically, it is a transactional deal with voters. It is saying, we

:04:42.:04:47.

don't trust the SNP, the Conservatives will stand against tax

:04:48.:04:50.

rises and against a second referendum on independence, offering

:04:51.:04:56.

to be a Bulwark and is to the SNP at Holyrood. It is a transactional

:04:57.:05:01.

bargain but whether the voters by it is another matter.

:05:02.:05:04.

The jury in the trial of a teenager accused of murdering a pupil

:05:05.:05:07.

at an Aberdeen school has been shown photographs of the fatal stab wound.

:05:08.:05:10.

Pathologist James Grieve said the stab wound had gone

:05:11.:05:13.

Asked if it was survivable, he said he was not surprised it had

:05:14.:05:17.

Bailey Gwynne, who was 16, died after being stabbed

:05:18.:05:20.

The 16-year-old accused, who cannot be named for legal reasons,

:05:21.:05:25.

The court was adjourned and closing speeches are expected to begin

:05:26.:05:30.

College lecturers across Scotland are to go on strike.

:05:31.:05:36.

They've voted overwhelmingly for action in a long-running pay

:05:37.:05:38.

Their union says there will be a national one-day strike the week

:05:39.:05:45.

after next and says the action could quickly escalate.

:05:46.:05:47.

Let's talk now to our education correspondent Jamie McIvor who's

:05:48.:05:50.

It is a complicated pay dispute but essentially linked to the return of

:05:51.:06:12.

national pay bargaining in colleges. The main issue for many colleges is

:06:13.:06:17.

the planned 1% national pay rise, along with differences between what

:06:18.:06:21.

lecturers earn a different colleges, despite doing similar jobs.

:06:22.:06:28.

According to the further education lecturers' Association there are

:06:29.:06:30.

disparities of up to ?10,000 per year. The plan is for a national

:06:31.:06:36.

one-day strike a week on Thursday but it could escalate very quickly.

:06:37.:06:40.

One plan would see national strikes three days a week every week

:06:41.:06:45.

following the Easter break. This has the potential to become a major

:06:46.:06:48.

running national strike in the run-up to the Scottish election.

:06:49.:06:54.

There has been a big shake-up in the college sector. Has that been part

:06:55.:06:57.

of the issue that has exercised college lecturers? Well, the dispute

:06:58.:07:03.

of the issue that has exercised itself is strictly over pay but

:07:04.:07:04.

there has been that big shake-up in itself is strictly over pay but

:07:05.:07:09.

the college sector in recent years. Jobs have gone, budgets are down and

:07:10.:07:13.

there has been a big drop in the number of part-time students. These

:07:14.:07:16.

are controversial issues for some and I doubt we will hear them raised

:07:17.:07:22.

by some who go on strike. Although the dispute is strictly about pay

:07:23.:07:28.

and pay alone. The body that represents Scotland's colleges has

:07:29.:07:32.

issued a statement. It says the pay deal on offer is the best possible

:07:33.:07:36.

in what it describes as the current difficult financial situation, and

:07:37.:07:41.

the Scottish Government says a strike would be in nobody's

:07:42.:07:45.

interests and is calling on both sides to get together to try to find

:07:46.:07:47.

a solution. You're watching Reporting

:07:48.:07:48.

Scotland from the BBC. Still to come: An insight

:07:49.:07:51.

into Canned Laughter, a new play which combines

:07:52.:07:53.

the experiences of three of the country's best

:07:54.:07:55.

known comedy actors. In sport, Andy Murray gets Britain

:07:56.:08:08.

off to a winning start in the Davis Cup match against Japan. And can the

:08:09.:08:13.

championship leaders get the better of premiership opposition in the

:08:14.:08:15.

Scottish cup quarterfinals? They drive people mad

:08:16.:08:18.

and are costing councils millions So now Edinburgh Council is setting

:08:19.:08:20.

up a special squad to tackle It is to spend ?180,000

:08:21.:08:24.

on an intensive programme of repairs It is a full-time job, but a

:08:25.:08:45.

temporary solution. These teams are out with a quick fix to a problem

:08:46.:08:52.

that comes around every year. For regular users, the state of the

:08:53.:08:56.

roads is a constant concern. One minute you are driving and the next

:08:57.:09:02.

minute, straight into a pothole. Then you are driving away, so you

:09:03.:09:06.

don't really take heed of what to do about it. You just drive on. I ride

:09:07.:09:13.

a bicycle in town a lot, and there are a lot of serious potholes that

:09:14.:09:20.

could really crush a wheel. They should be filled. The bus ride from

:09:21.:09:27.

the airport was horrendous. One of the most rattling rides I have had

:09:28.:09:33.

for a long while. Up and down the country, it seems the streets are

:09:34.:09:38.

littered with potholes. Here in Edinburgh, councils acknowledge

:09:39.:09:40.

there has been an increase this year, which is why they have set up

:09:41.:09:45.

special teams to fix them. The council says it will also invest in

:09:46.:09:51.

permanent repairs in targeted areas. We are looking at rolling out a new

:09:52.:09:54.

permanent repairs in targeted areas. surface, so we can do more roads and

:09:55.:09:57.

it means they will not get into that condition. We are looking at a

:09:58.:10:02.

particular problem at bus stops and reinforcing bus stops in certain

:10:03.:10:06.

areas with heavy numbers of buses coming in and out. We are looking at

:10:07.:10:11.

every way we can to prevent us getting to the situation where the

:10:12.:10:16.

roads are in such poor condition. It is also encouraging residents to

:10:17.:10:20.

report defects to a dedicated website. Cyclists want a long-term

:10:21.:10:26.

improvement. Riding to work should be pleasant and enjoyable, but going

:10:27.:10:31.

with the potholes, it is rough and not as safe, because you have to

:10:32.:10:36.

keep avoiding them. If you go into them, you might come off. In

:10:37.:10:41.

Edinburgh, the council say that the pothole patrol is part of a ?50

:10:42.:10:44.

million investment in the roads. The former TV weather presenter

:10:45.:10:47.

Fred Talbot has appeared at Dumfries Sheriff Court on charges

:10:48.:10:49.

of indecent assault. The 66-year-old from

relate to a 13-year period The case was continued without plea

role to play in Afghanistan Next week on Reporting Scotland

which are to operate on the Glasgow subway.

They're being built as part of the first major overhaul

Here's our transport correspondent, David Miller.

:12:00.:12:08.

They call it the clockwork Orange, a 19th-century subways serving a

:12:09.:12:15.

They call it the clockwork Orange, a 21st-century city. The subway and

:12:16.:12:21.

its famous shuttle are a much loved part of Glasgow life. Today's news

:12:22.:12:27.

means that we now know these ageing carriages are heading to the end of

:12:28.:12:33.

their working life. The subway has been repeatedly upgraded over the

:12:34.:12:37.

years but this latest overhaul promises to be the most radical yet.

:12:38.:12:43.

17 new train sets coming from Switzerland. The trains arriving in

:12:44.:12:48.

2020 will be driverless, smoother and quieter. For the first time,

:12:49.:12:54.

wheelchair users will have dedicated spaces. This is an opportunity for

:12:55.:12:59.

us and the people of Glasgow. The passenger will see a totally

:13:00.:13:03.

different experience, a much better ride. The frequency will be improved

:13:04.:13:08.

and also we can lengthen the period we operate. The subway will close

:13:09.:13:16.

for a month this summer to allow major engineering work to be carried

:13:17.:13:19.

for a month this summer to allow out. Drivers have already been told

:13:20.:13:22.

they will be offered jobs elsewhere on the subway. But what do the

:13:23.:13:25.

public make of the plans for driverless trains, increasingly

:13:26.:13:30.

commonplace in cities around the world? It looks good. Modern. We

:13:31.:13:37.

will miss the orange colour but it has a bit of a link to the colour

:13:38.:13:41.

everyone is used to, so I think it looks good. Do you notice anything

:13:42.:13:49.

missing? The driver. Would you feel happy on that? Yes. They do that in

:13:50.:13:56.

Australia. There is bad news for die-hard subway fans, its days are

:13:57.:14:08.

numbered. The movement will be engineered out, and it will be a

:14:09.:14:13.

smoother ride for passengers. There will still be a bit of a shimmy in

:14:14.:14:19.

there. Passenger numbers have steadily fallen over the decades.

:14:20.:14:24.

Bosses are hoping their decision to invest ?200 million in new trains

:14:25.:14:27.

and equipment will help reverse that trend.

:14:28.:14:31.

A look at other stories from across the country.

:14:32.:14:35.

The operators of Inverness Airport have announced plans

:14:36.:14:37.

The investment will almost double the size of the departure lounge

:14:38.:14:43.

and create a new arrivals hall for international passengers.

:14:44.:14:53.

It is timely, because at the beginning of May we have KLM joining

:14:54.:14:59.

us and at the end of May we have British Airways joining, so it is

:15:00.:15:03.

important we put in the capacity to cater for increased demand.

:15:04.:15:05.

Demolition of the St James Centre in Edinburgh

:15:06.:15:07.

The shopping centre is due to be knocked down as part

CCTV operators in Glasgow are going on a 48-hour strike

:15:28.:15:29.

in the next few minutes in a dispute over shift pay.

:15:30.:15:32.

Community Safety Glasgow, who operate the network,

say there are "business continuity plans in place" to ensure

Major building work has been completed on Scotland's

:15:37.:15:41.

The Wee Tea Plantation, at Amulree in Perthshire,

:15:42.:15:44.

is on the site of a former sheep farm.

:15:45.:15:46.

The company says it's waiting for tea-making equipment

:15:47.:15:48.

The Scottish Courts Service has announced plans to build

:15:49.:15:51.

a new justice centre in Inverness, to replace the present facilities

:15:52.:15:54.

The site is adjacent to the city's main police station.

:15:55.:15:58.

If planning permission is granted, construction work could

:15:59.:16:01.

It will have all the components you expect for a court building but it

:16:02.:16:17.

is also looking at the interactions before and after court, different

:16:18.:16:22.

services in terms of support and alternatives to prosecution, and

:16:23.:16:22.

support put in place after. Nicola Sturgeon is

:16:23.:16:25.

the new official patron of Scotland's women's

:16:26.:16:27.

national football team. Meeting the team this morning,

:16:28.:16:28.

the First Minister said it was an exciting time

:16:29.:16:31.

for women's football. The team takes on Spain on Tuesday,

:16:32.:16:33.

International Women's Day. Let's catch up with the sport now.

:16:34.:16:41.

Here's David. Andy Murray says there's plenty

:16:42.:16:45.

in his game to be happy about after his first match

:16:46.:16:48.

since the Australian Open. Murray beat Japan's Taro Daniel

:16:49.:16:51.

in straight sets in the opening rubber of their Davis

:16:52.:16:54.

Cup tie with Japan. The world number six, Kei Nishikori,

:16:55.:16:58.

then levelled things up at 1-1, setting up a potential

:16:59.:17:01.

winner-takes-all match Kheredine Idessane

:17:02.:17:02.

reports from Birmingham. If you can't make the Davis Cup

:17:03.:17:17.

team, you could always audition for the next best thing. The fan's form

:17:18.:17:22.

was good, their confidence high. We did it last year against very tough

:17:23.:17:26.

was good, their confidence high. We opposition, no reason why we can't

:17:27.:17:30.

do it again. The next round will be the real tough one. Potentially

:17:31.:17:34.

Serbia away. Please welcome, Andy Murray. And for the defending Davis

:17:35.:17:43.

Cup champions, quite a fanfare. Suitably inspired, Andy Murray won

:17:44.:17:46.

the first 11 points. The world number two underlined why he is

:17:47.:17:51.

ranked 85 places higher than Japan's Taro Daniel. The Scot secured the

:17:52.:17:57.

first set 6-1 in 28 minutes. That's up in the rafters. The second set

:17:58.:18:02.

was more the better two, tied at 3-3 before Andy Murray broke, taking

:18:03.:18:04.

was more the better two, tied at 3-3 three games in a row to take the

:18:05.:18:10.

set. Midway through the final set, some vintage Murray rallying showed

:18:11.:18:13.

evidence that he would not be delayed much further, and he racked

:18:14.:18:17.

things up inside an hour and a half, the perfect start to Britain's title

:18:18.:18:21.

defence. He settled more into the match in the second set. Some good

:18:22.:18:27.

tennis, some long rallies. Tough games and entertaining points. I got

:18:28.:18:32.

to test out my movement and quite a lot of different shots, which was

:18:33.:18:37.

good. Most things were working well. Can still improve a view things, but

:18:38.:18:43.

it was a good start. Just the kind of start Andy Murray was hoping for.

:18:44.:18:47.

He might yet be picked to play with big brother Jamie in the doubles

:18:48.:18:52.

tomorrow. If not, you will be rested for a potentially tie defining match

:18:53.:18:55.

on Sunday against world number six, Kei Nishikori.

:18:56.:19:01.

The Dundee manager Paul Hartley says his players must handle

:19:02.:19:03.

the Ibrox atmosphere if they're to see off Rangers

:19:04.:19:07.

The two sides go head-to-head for a place in the semi finals.

:19:08.:19:12.

Today at the ticket office, it was a steady stream. Tomorrow at the

:19:13.:19:25.

turnstiles, it will be a different story. The feel-good factor is back

:19:26.:19:33.

and the fans never really went away. This was their side progressing

:19:34.:19:37.

against Kilmarnock in the last round. Nicky Clark with a

:19:38.:19:39.

last-minute winner to set up a tussle with the dark blues of

:19:40.:19:44.

Tayside. Predictions, and a man who has played for both sides. I have to

:19:45.:19:50.

say Rangers, purely because they are on the front foot. They have scored

:19:51.:19:55.

in every game this season as well. But Dundee will go in there thinking

:19:56.:20:01.

they can get an upset. Since their absence from Scotland's top league,

:20:02.:20:06.

Rangers have played top-flight opposition on 12 occasions. Of those

:20:07.:20:11.

12 games, they have won five. They haven't faced Dundee though. They

:20:12.:20:18.

have to defend this corner... It's a Dundee side in fine form. They held

:20:19.:20:23.

Celtic to a draw at Parkhead at the weekend and this sitter was all that

:20:24.:20:27.

denied them victory. Is there a favourite? No. A cup game with two

:20:28.:20:36.

good squads. Both teams try to make the semifinals. Rangers deservedly

:20:37.:20:40.

knocked out Kilmarnock in the last round. It will be a cracking game.

:20:41.:20:45.

For Rangers, this match is about more than Scottish cup progression.

:20:46.:20:50.

Mark Warburton's side could be just months away from promotion to the

:20:51.:20:54.

premiership. For them, it's a chance to show the fans that they are

:20:55.:20:56.

ready. Edinburgh Rugby can boost

:20:57.:20:58.

their prospects of reaching the Pro12 league play offs this evening,

:20:59.:21:00.

but they'll need to beat the league The capital pro team won at home

:21:01.:21:09.

to Scarletts last weekend. And are fifth in the table -

:21:10.:21:12.

that's one place outside Definitely, always had belief, and

:21:13.:21:21.

have always set our sights really high in the league. Add a few minor

:21:22.:21:25.

lapses in the last few away games but we will bounce back this weekend

:21:26.:21:27.

and hopefully get another win. And you can hear and see Edinburgh

:21:28.:21:33.

take on Connacht tonight. The game is live on BBC 2
