The Scottish Fire and Rescue service has published a report which lays

published a report setting out lessons learned. We are committed to

delivering these recommendations so that the legacy for Ewan

:01:27.:01:31.

delivering these recommendations so is that his firefighter colleagues

:01:32.:01:36.

can be as safe as they can possibly be in a dangerous environment in

:01:37.:01:39.

which firefighters always have to work. There are 19 recommendations,

:01:40.:01:46.

four of them are termed critical, requiring immediate action. Those

for reflect the wider themes. The need for unified protocols, more

training and better resourcing on the ground at complex into --

incidents. Ewan Williamson's family had called on the Fire Service to

:02:00.:02:03.

work with the Fire Brigades union to improve safety. Both echoes of view

:02:04.:02:07.

that some progress has already been made. The safer firefighter project

:02:08.:02:14.

has been set up to ensure that the lessons identified in this report

:02:15.:02:19.

and from the incident will be embedded in the organisation. We

:02:20.:02:23.

will ensure those lessons to ultimately achieve the improvements

:02:24.:02:28.

we expect. Almost seven years on, the legacy for those who follow in

Ewan Williamson's footsteps. in nine months, according

:02:32.:02:36.

to UK Anti-Doping. The annual figure is on course to be

:02:37.:02:40.

the lowest since the current The Scottish Football Association

:02:41.:02:43.

says it's "ever-vigilant" about the issue, which has engulfed

:02:44.:02:45.

world sport in recent times. The world of sport is being riddled

:02:46.:03:02.

by doping scandals. From allegations surrounding Alberto Salazar to the

:03:03.:03:06.

International ban on Russian athletes and just this week the

:03:07.:03:10.

tennis player Maria Sharapova's admission she had failed a doping

:03:11.:03:13.

test. We decided to examine how Scotland's most popular sport is

:03:14.:03:19.

being the least. Tests are carried out by UK anti-doping. Figures show

:03:20.:03:25.

for the first three quarters of the 20 15th - 2016 period, eight tests

:03:26.:03:30.

have taken place. In the previous full-year, 44 were carried out.

:03:31.:03:36.

That's down from a peak of 172 in 2010 slash 11. No out of competition

:03:37.:03:40.

tests have taken place for three years. How does this compare to

:03:41.:03:45.

other sports or organisations? The English Football Association, a much

:03:46.:03:49.

bigger and richer body, carried out more than 1500 tests in the same

:03:50.:03:54.

period. Two thirds financed itself. To compare an organisation of a

:03:55.:04:07.

similar size, 102 tests were done within Scottish rugby. The SFA were

:04:08.:04:11.

unable to put anyone up for interview today, but turned answer

:04:12.:04:13.

to a series of questions they stayed there is still... We asked UK A.D.

:04:14.:04:23.

How they felt about the SFA not providing additional funding. What

:04:24.:04:27.

sports generally have to do is consider whether they find this area

:04:28.:04:32.

something they want to invest in. Is it important? If it is, put your

:04:33.:04:37.

hand in your pocket and start paying towards your programme. Because we

:04:38.:04:42.

as an organisation can only do so much. After testing positive for

Ritchie was 20 years old. She had severe learning difficulties and was

partially sighted. She was 50 when she died. Margaret lived in this

house in the East End of Glasgow which she shared with another woman.

:06:49.:06:54.

They both require 24-hour care and this was provided by an organisation

:06:55.:06:57.

which supports people with learning difficulties. From 2010 Mary Cameron

:06:58.:07:02.

was a support worker. She was her sole carer on the night she died.

:07:03.:07:06.

She gave a statement after Margaret's death as part of an

:07:07.:07:10.

investigation by her employer. She said...

:07:11.:07:17.

She put on the washing machine, she said, and made a cup of coffee and

:07:18.:07:23.

remembered hearing the end music of EastEnders as she went to check on

Margaret. She found her and dialled 999. This call was made at 7:58pm.

:07:29.:07:34.

In her police statement, she said when she went into the bathroom she

:07:35.:07:38.

thought the tap was running. Mary Cameron was advised and on occasion

told not to answer a number of questions about what happened with

:07:43.:07:46.

Margaret. Her lawyer explained yesterday that

:07:47.:07:59.

this is because the Crown has not offered any reassurance that she

doesn't face any future prosecution. Her lawyer said he believes she

incriminate them in a future prosecution. Margaret's family wants

:08:10.:08:12.

this enquiry to help them find answers. Very frustrated as a

:08:13.:08:18.

family. Mary was the sole witness at the time of the incident and

:08:19.:08:20.

although it was nearly three years ago she might not know all the

:08:21.:08:24.

detail, but she has some answers to some of our questions. Being blocked

:08:25.:08:29.

from answering some questions has left gaps in the information we are

:08:30.:08:34.

looking for to die to get answers to this case. This has echoes of the

:08:35.:08:39.

fatal accident enquiry into the deaths of those killed in the bin

lorry crash in December 2014 in Glasgow and that of two students

:08:44.:08:49.

killed by a 4x4 in Glasgow in 2010. In both those cases the key

witnesses, the drivers, were not required to answer some questions in

case they incriminate themselves. The enquiry into Margaret 's death

will resume in May. A team at Edinburgh University

:09:00.:09:01.

is rebuilding a massive mosaic by the celebrated artist

:09:02.:09:04.

Eduardo Paolozzi. It was dismantled in

the redevelopment of a London Underground station last

:09:08.:09:09.

year and now work is underway to re-assemble and restore more

than 600 tiled pieces. Maybe this is what brings it nearer

Pauline McLean, reports. Maybe this is what brings it nearer

to music. You can have a whole collection of different images and

:09:26.:09:31.

you can combine them. You can drop them on top of each other. Eduardo

:09:32.:09:35.

Paolozzi was one of the best-known artists of the 20th century. A

:09:36.:09:39.

founding figure of the pop Art movement. He considered these

:09:40.:09:43.

mosaics among his finest work, taking students to view them

:09:44.:09:46.

close-up in this London Underground station. So when some of the mosaics

:09:47.:09:54.

were removed during refurbishment, Edinburgh office -- Edinburgh

:09:55.:09:57.

University gave them a new home. This is about 10% of the overall

:09:58.:10:01.

mosaic still in the station. It is one of the most important public

:10:02.:10:06.

artworks of the 20th century. It's a piece that understandably gained

:10:07.:10:09.

quite a lot of attention when it came out in the media. I'm sure

:10:10.:10:13.

other institutions would have been interested. But it was Edinburgh,

:10:14.:10:18.

Powell not see's home city and where he once studied, which secured the

:10:19.:10:22.

mosaics, but admittedly in 600 pieces which needed to be put back

:10:23.:10:29.

together. 400 so far, 200 ago. We're hoping with each individual image

:10:30.:10:33.

it's essentially a big jigsaw puzzle. Hopefully with the use of

:10:34.:10:37.

image recognition software alongside a copy of the original design, we

:10:38.:10:44.

can piece it back together. As they do, is giving students a chance to

:10:45.:10:49.

learn something about the process of making and remaking art. In the end

:10:50.:10:55.

I've learned a lot about reconstruction, dismantling this

:10:56.:10:58.

artwork and the ethics behind how you relocate a piece of art,

:10:59.:10:59.

especially a piece you relocate a piece of art,

:11:00.:11:03.

The archive they create will in Edinburgh, as will the mistake

:11:04.:11:09.

itself, which once pieced back together will be rebuilt and

:11:10.:11:12.

reconstructed in the artist's home city.

Now the weather prospects for tonight and tomorrow

:12:01.:12:04.

with those areas that saw the Lions share of the sunshine today.

:12:05.:12:08.

Brightening up across the south-east. The rain working its way

Wales, dry day and fairly cloudy. Around 10 Celsius. Wet from Northern

Temperatures up to double digits and off, but it will be mild.

another cloudy day, but much drier than Saturday.

:13:07.:13:20.

With a southerly breeze, hopefully the cloud thinning and breaking at

:13:21.:13:22.

times, particularly around the Moray Firth, when we could see

:13:23.:13:23.

temperatures of 14 or 15 Celsius. That's all from Reporting
