:02:47. > :02:52.employment within Scotland. Labour doesn't support a cut in duty. We
:02:53. > :02:55.think it is the wrong cut at the wrong time. It will benefit the
:02:56. > :02:58.wealthiest people and will not benefit those who are struggling to

:03:55. > :04:00.fly from a UK airport, air duty adds ?73 to a long haul flight. It seems
:04:01. > :04:04.a cut would influence the plans of some Scottish travellers. I don't
:04:05. > :04:09.think I would go south again. Fantastic news. I would be saving

:04:16. > :04:20.seem to be an unfairness that flights are cheaper if you are

:04:30. > :04:35.easier flight. The proposed changes in Scotland are still two years
:04:36. > :04:39.away, after the tax is devolved, but the Chancellor has already exempted

:05:15. > :05:17.by the Scottish Government in response to a major
:05:18. > :05:19.report on widening access But as our education correspondent

:05:44. > :05:52.is president of the students union. Growing up in a socially deprived
:05:53. > :06:03.environment, it isn't something that anybody you have grown up with
:06:04. > :06:07.thinks about. That is a shame. The Scottish Government says helping
:06:08. > :06:11.more people overcome barriers is a priority. They are setting new
:06:12. > :06:15.targets so universities will have to get more students from disadvantaged
:06:16. > :06:21.areas. By the time these youngsters grow up, it will be one in five. We
:06:22. > :06:26.want to make further and faster progress in widening access, because
:06:27. > :06:30.it is the smart thing to do to tap into all the talents, and we have to
:06:31. > :06:36.recognise that the talent and the young people that we have, that that
:06:37. > :06:40.talent exists in every community in Scotland. The targets were one
:06:41. > :06:44.recommendation made by a special commission. This report has taken a
:06:45. > :06:49.year to produce. It is a complicated problem and no one is pretending
:06:50. > :06:54.there are easy answers. One challenge is how well youngsters do
:06:55. > :07:01.a school. Another one is challenging misconceptions about who goes to
:07:02. > :07:06.university. It is the how of doing it. We think we know a lot now, but
:07:07. > :07:11.it is the how. One suggestion is a special commission to ensure there
:07:12. > :07:16.is progress, but school pupils. Have to work hard to get to university.
:07:17. > :07:21.These girls hope to be the first in their families to get in. When I was
:07:22. > :07:28.younger, it was something I aspired for. The opportunities it can bring,
:07:29. > :07:30.like having a degree can further your opportunity with employment.
:07:31. > :07:36.Nobody would pretend helping young people with their potential is
:07:37. > :07:43.nothing but a laudable aim, but critics question whether it is
:07:44. > :07:45.actually helping. What is unfortunate is it comes at a time
:07:46. > :07:53.when we have seen half ?1 billion of cuts to
:07:54. > :07:57.schools and other services. Back at Strathclyde University, Gary uses

:08:29. > :08:31.and businesses in the Aberdeenshire village of Ballater were damaged
:08:32. > :08:34.by severe flooding. Today, a sign that things
:08:35. > :08:37.are returning to normal with the reopening of the first shop
:08:38. > :08:40.in the flooded High Street. But as John McManus reports,
:08:41. > :08:42.there's still concern about the way one insurance firm has been
:08:43. > :08:56.dealing with claims. Sheridan 's is an institution on
:08:57. > :09:01.Deeside. Even the Queen orders her meet here. It was closed by
:09:02. > :09:08.December's floods. Now it is leading Ballater's revival. We got here
:09:09. > :09:12.early, got things dried out, we did a reason it four years ago, and the
:09:13. > :09:17.plans were all there from the company that did the reset. So
:09:18. > :09:24.things were ordered easily. Other shops are getting ready for the
:09:25. > :09:28.tourist season in a rush. This is the heart of Ballater, slowly
:09:29. > :09:33.returning to normal. It's hard not to feel optimistic about the future.
:09:34. > :09:38.It's a long way from the scenes we saw in December. That was then...
:09:39. > :09:44.And this is now. But problems remain. A few weeks ago, Karen
:09:45. > :09:51.Murray told us how her insurance policy was voided, but she is still
:09:52. > :09:56.fighting. Prince Charles's trust, they have been in contact and given
:09:57. > :09:59.us lots of good advice and communications with the insurance
:10:00. > :10:04.company, so they are helping us as much as they can. It's been really
:10:05. > :10:08.tough. I don't sleep very well because of it. It's just something
:10:09. > :10:13.else to think about when you go to bed. This man has been renovating
:10:14. > :10:16.his house himself after the insurance company also voided his
:10:17. > :10:21.policy. I would like them to insurance company also voided his

:10:44. > :10:48.there are others, many who have gone to the reverend David Barr. There's
:10:49. > :10:54.about 18 families I know of, ranging from old folk to people with

:11:00. > :11:05.it is taking a toll to be told they get nothing. I really don't care if

:12:10. > :12:18.Bill which would allow actions to be raised in cases dating back
:12:19. > :12:20.as far back as 1964. It comes as the inquiry
:12:21. > :12:23.into historical child abuse prepares Our Home Affairs Correspondent,
:12:24. > :12:25.Reevel Alderson joins me. Reevel, what's the
:12:26. > :12:33.background to this? At the moment, there is a limit, a
:12:34. > :12:38.Mac to Mac in bringing personal injury claims. That may be fair
:12:39. > :12:45.enough in personal injury claims, but for picture -- victims of child
:12:46. > :12:49.abuse cases historically, it can take a long time for them to talk
:12:50. > :12:55.about it, let alone bring a court case. The government wants to shift
:12:56. > :12:59.that time bar back to 1964, more than 50 years ago. It comes in the
:13:00. > :13:04.historic child abuse in residential allegations of
:13:05. > :13:07.historic child abuse in residential settings, such as boarding schools.
:13:08. > :13:15.That enquiry will take evidence fairly soon. Has there been any
:13:16. > :13:22.reaction to these proposals? The faculty of advocates came out
:13:23. > :13:23.against this idea. It says that the current practice of allowing cases
:13:24. > :13:30.to be examined as to whether they could get round the
:13:31. > :13:36.time bar on a case-by-case basis is fair enough for both sides. In a
:13:37. > :13:41.consultation the government has set up, it was 50-50 whether people were
:13:42. > :13:47.in favour or against the proposals. Some of the survivors' groups are
:13:48. > :13:52.very unhappy at the extension of this time bar back to 1964, because
:13:53. > :13:56.they say they have a large number of members whose abuse dates back
:13:57. > :14:01.before that, who are very old men and women now, and would like some
:14:02. > :14:05.opportunity to get some sort of justice. Finally, it's important to
:14:06. > :14:10.note that these proposals in the draft bill, that would come before
:14:11. > :14:16.the next Tory parliament, only affect child abuse cases, not cases
:14:17. > :14:18.like hospital mistreatment, or something like your employer causing

:25:06. > :25:15.After a fashion, variations on the theme of dry. It's been a beautiful

:25:39. > :25:41.increasing amount of cloud feeding in from the east and that is what we
:25:42. > :25:47.will see tonight, cloud feeding in across eastern Scotland with the
:25:48. > :25:52.potential. Mr, low coward or a haar on the east coast but you come
:25:53. > :25:56.inland and it is quite sheltered, temperatures down to freezing with a
:25:57. > :26:00.touch of frost but city centre is holding at three or four. We could
:26:01. > :26:04.see some mist patches inland. A dry start to tomorrow and some good,
:26:05. > :26:07.sunny spells. Early cloud plaguing parts of the East Coast and it looks
:26:08. > :26:10.like it will increase towards eastern coastal areas as we had
:26:11. > :26:14.through the day. But I don't think it will spoil the afternoon,
:26:15. > :26:17.gorgeous sunshine to the north-west islands, more cloud generally across
:26:18. > :26:21.the Northern isles but I think the western side of Orkney will cheer up
:26:22. > :26:24.and we will see some cloud for Caithness and northern parts of
:26:25. > :26:27.Aberdeenshire, certainly towards Peterhead. But sunshine in the rest
:26:28. > :26:31.of the country, potentially 17th for the north-west Highlands but seven
:26:32. > :26:36.or eight on the east coast itself with an easterly breeze lapping onto
:26:37. > :26:40.the shores of eastern coastal areas. It stays dry across the country
:26:41. > :26:43.tomorrow afternoon and into the evening. Good, sunny spells to end
:26:44. > :26:46.the day before cloud thickens across eastern areas generally tomorrow
:26:47. > :26:51.night with again, some mist and low cloud plaguing eastern coasts. High
:26:52. > :26:56.pressure very much dominating the weather through the working week. It
:26:57. > :27:00.is a cast-iron area of high pressure keeping things drive. Generally on
:27:01. > :27:04.Wednesday, we will tend to see more cloud across eastern half of the
:27:05. > :27:07.country. Still good, sunny spells in the West. The highest temperature is
:27:08. > :27:12.destined for the north-west Highlands once again. Temperatures
:27:13. > :27:14.turning to but normal for the time of year.
:27:15. > :27:19.I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm, and the late bulletin just
