These pictures show Mr Shah working in the shop last August. On Thursday

hospital where he was pronounced dead. Just hours before he was

:00:52.:00:58.

stabbed Mr Shah had posted a message on Facebook wishing a happy Easter

:00:59.:01:03.

to what he said was his beloved Christian nation. This is where he

worshipped. Police said during an investigation they were treating the

:01:13.:01:16.

death of Mr Shah as religiously prejudiced and that the man who had

:01:17.:01:19.

been arrested was Muslim. Today that man was named as 32-year-old Tanveer

And inspections are being carried out at schools after the collapse

:02:29.:02:31.

of a wall at an Edinburgh primary earlier this year.

:02:32.:02:36.

The outer wall of Ox gangs primary collapsed in January. Built a decade

:02:37.:02:47.

ago it was one of 17 refurbished in Edinburgh following a deal between

:02:48.:02:49.

the council and private finance consortium. Whether wall collapsed

inspections revealed similar problems and three others both run

the same time by Miller construction. I do not think it is a

:02:59.:03:07.

contractual issue. All four schools were temporarily closed leaving

:03:08.:03:11.

families like these to do the best of hasty new arrangements. It is

:03:12.:03:17.

really quite something of which we were shocked. As you can see by

:03:18.:03:21.

looking at the place it looks like a new school and it should be a safe

:03:22.:03:24.

environment for the children to Lennon. The deal worth three in a

Scotland. Side a year so earlier, the Private Finance deal in Glasgow

:03:47.:03:52.

for building schools was worth three times as much as Edinburgh is

holidays. In a statement the company stressed they were not aware of any

further defects, describing the actions as a precaution measure.

Brian Heaney has been assured his daughter's school has been -- will

:04:54.:05:03.

be open in time. Meanwhile concerns about safety in schools are echoing

:05:04.:05:05.

more widely. Scotland's party leaders have

:05:06.:05:17.

clashed again today. Over a gruelling two hours,

:05:18.:05:29.

they each got a chance Nicola Sturgeon criticised Patrick

:05:30.:05:31.

Harvie. She said that 30% of tax holders would

:05:32.:05:54.

face a tax rise. she teamed up with the Tories

:05:55.:06:02.

in the referendum campaign and questions were put

:06:03.:06:06.

to Ruth Davidson about plans to re-introduce

:06:07.:06:12.

prescription charges. The council tax is based on

:06:13.:06:22.

valuations a quarter of a century old and we know most households are

:06:23.:06:27.

in the wrong band. Free prescriptions have cost the health

:06:28.:06:31.

service 60 rolling pounds. We want to make sure that people can get the

:06:32.:06:43.

drugs they deserve. We believe M ?15 billion worse off because of the

:06:44.:06:49.

collapse and they're all price. I want is to leave the Tigris behind

:06:50.:06:53.

and I think you do as well. I think you want to use the powers in the

:06:54.:06:57.

Parliament to make different choices from the Conservatives. You spent

:06:58.:07:01.

the last ten years of your life arguing about that. Willie Rennie of

:07:02.:07:06.

the Liberal Democrats was asked about his party 's role in the

:07:07.:07:12.

Coalition Government in the UK and kept it up till was asked why she

:07:13.:07:16.

wouldn't back plans for a 50p in income tax. You gave them that

:07:17.:07:23.

majority that the electorate had refused to give them. Look at the

:07:24.:07:28.

effect sense, Patrick. It is plain to see. We must move on to this

:07:29.:07:41.

question. I will not move onto our teachers and nurses. I will forward

:07:42.:07:47.

fear and reasonable tax proposals that actually raise more revenue for

:07:48.:07:50.

our health service and education system. That is the behaviour of a

:07:51.:07:58.

responsible First Minister. Finally admits all through the debate this

:07:59.:08:06.

evening with tax being main issue. Eyes-mac fire -- fiery arguments.

became the Esk in hospital has treated since 85,000 ex-service men

and women. Our arts correspondent reports. It was originally known as

:09:08.:09:12.

the Princess Louise hospital for limbless sailors and soldiers, named

:09:13.:09:18.

as patron and set up in 1916. But to most people it is Esk in. This is

:09:19.:09:24.

the very first patient register. This newly discovered archive

:09:25.:09:28.

details as beginnings and its first patients and it is apt to do is come

:09:29.:09:33.

here to Glasgow University. The first connection it through some

William McEwan who was also the richest professor of surgery at last

:09:40.:09:46.

University. -- Sir William McEwan. He felt very strongly that a

:09:47.:09:49.

hospital should be set up to deal with the casualties. This man's

:09:50.:09:54.

father Jimmy was the first of 14 patients to be admitted to the

:09:55.:09:56.

father Jimmy was the first of 14 hospital in 1916. He had been

:09:57.:10:01.

seriously injured in Gallipoli and adopting expected to survive. I just

:10:02.:10:05.

said what did they do to your arm, dad? They put it in cup of boiling

:10:06.:10:12.

tar. What do they do with you next? He said it would mean the side of

:10:13.:10:15.

the boat. This is really puts you when you're going to die. But he did

:10:16.:10:22.

not die and was one of thousands of men to receive new limbs at Esk in

built bunkers, coal bunkers are never thing like that. He built all

:10:39.:10:43.

these things with the one arm and he would pick the garden. He did

:10:44.:10:48.

everything like that. He was not handless, put it that way. His story

:10:49.:10:53.

is one of many told me as an archive which it is hoped will be digitised

:10:54.:10:57.

as well as featured in a major exhibition at the University later

:10:58.:11:05.

this year. Scotland beat Denmark in the friendly match at Hampden

:11:06.:11:13.

tonight. Matt Ritchie took advantage and hit what proved to be the only

:11:14.:11:18.

goal of the game. And now for the weather.

:11:19.:11:26.

Fairly frequent showers across the country today with the odd rumble of

:11:27.:11:31.

thunder and a carpet Hill which led to a few issues on the roads. You

:11:32.:11:36.

can see on the radar a lot of them easing away but they do not go

:11:37.:11:43.

entirely. Dreyer across the north-east societies of the country

:11:44.:11:45.

where we will see a touch of Frost and it will be a chilly start

:11:46.:11:48.

tomorrow. In the West we are more likely to see our morning shower or

:11:49.:11:55.

two. For many it is a dry start with some dry spells but for centrally

:11:56.:11:58.

store in Scotland it is a chilly start. Towards the west coast the

shows are more frequent and just attach milder. Quite chilly through

:12:02.:12:07.

parts of Highland Perthshire and Inland Aberdeenshire with a touch of

:12:08.:12:11.

Frost them in the Glens. The showers frequent further north in similar to

:12:12.:12:16.

that the Hebrides and it stays that way through the course of the day.

:12:17.:12:20.

With fairly light wins the showers make slow progress on land so the

:12:21.:12:24.

further east you are drier and brighter it will be. Across the UK

:12:25.:12:28.

as a whole will be a lot of dry weather around the UK as a whole
