:00:43. > :00:46.targets Shia Midlands and other minority groups, including

:00:47. > :00:53.Christians. These documents outline how Sabir Ali was named the Scottish

:00:54. > :00:56.president of Sipah-e-Sahaba. After it was banned in Pakistan and the

:00:57. > :01:02.UK, heels at a memorial service at the mosque for the group's

:01:03. > :01:05.assassinated leader. This journalist and writer on Pakistani fears that

:01:06. > :01:09.should be links between Scotland and the terror group. It is a nasty

:01:10. > :01:13.sectarian violence organisation, but we have evidence in 2002 that this

:01:14. > :01:19.group was going after Western targets. So obviously it seems

:01:20. > :01:25.disturbing that anybody in this country would have those kind of

:01:26. > :01:28.link to a group like that. The document to BBC has obtained also

:01:29. > :01:35.show that Hafiz Abdul Hamid of mosque in Edinburgh was the leader

:01:36. > :01:36.of Sipah-e-Sahaba UK. In 2004 after the group was banned here he said it

:01:43. > :01:47.dominance of Islam. There is support to the group. Police say

:01:48. > :01:51.they are now investigating. That investigation started today and we

:01:52. > :01:56.will try to verify the claims that have been made in the media today.

:01:57. > :02:00.That will take place from officers based in Gartcosh. It is hard to see

:02:01. > :02:04.how long that will take, but we will make every effort to get to the

:02:05. > :02:07.bottom of the claims that have been made today as quickly as possible.

:02:08. > :02:11.Today's revelations and earlier claims about the Imam of Glasgow's

:02:12. > :02:16.mosque, Scotland's largest, Eddery hastily convened conference

:02:17. > :02:21.involving the wider Muslim community. This last week has been

:02:22. > :02:28.the worst for our mosque in living memory. We know we cannot carry on

:02:29. > :02:32.in this way. But we are agreed on one thing. We are determined to

:02:33. > :02:37.continue to enrich the community fabric of Glasgow and Scotland,

:02:38. > :02:45.building on our proud heritage, and we look confidently to the future in

:02:46. > :02:53.a spirit of inclusion and unity. Sabir Ali is head of religious

:02:54. > :02:54.events at the mosque. In Edinburgh, the leader of the Polwarth mosque

:02:55. > :02:57.has yet to respond to the BBC. Nuclear waste is to be transported

:02:58. > :03:00.from Dounreay in Caithness, in what's being described

:03:01. > :03:02.as the biggest-ever shipment of highly-enriched uranium

:03:03. > :03:06.from the UK to the United States. But some in the Highlands say

:03:07. > :03:21.they're worried about how The Dounreay nuclear site, which is

:03:22. > :03:25.being decommissioned, stores and undisclosed quantity of highly

:03:26. > :03:28.enriched uranium. Now in a landmark deal, the UK Government is to censor

:03:29. > :03:33.the hundred kilograms of the weapons grade material to America. In

:03:34. > :03:37.return, the US will send a different type of used uranium back to Europe,

:03:38. > :03:42.where it will be used to help diagnose cancer. The deal is being

:03:43. > :03:50.welcomed in some quarters as one way of reducing Britain's stop Isle of

:03:51. > :03:53.the clear materials. But here in Highlands leaders want safety

:03:54. > :03:56.assurances at a time when the UK Government is set to axe the last

:03:57. > :04:01.remaining emergency tug boat operating around the area's

:04:02. > :04:06.coastlines. I need a lot of assurance, which I do not have just

:04:07. > :04:09.now, on behalf of Island, and the first assurance I need is knowing

:04:10. > :04:16.that our waters are covered if there is some sort of unthinkable

:04:17. > :04:19.accident. It is unclear how the material will be transferred, but

:04:20. > :04:24.the respect elation it will be flown across the Atlantic. Materials such

:04:25. > :04:28.as this have been transported before, and occasionally and in

:04:29. > :04:33.small quantities. So far we've been lucky. We are not always necessarily

:04:34. > :04:37.going to be lucky, and the consequences of an air accident on

:04:38. > :04:43.take-off or landing do not bear thinking about. Secondly, there is a

:04:44. > :04:46.problem of terrorism. This is materialism' material that would be

:04:47. > :04:51.attractive to terrorists, while on the Move it is susceptible. A UK

:04:52. > :04:55.Government source has described the deal as a win- win. But others have

:04:56. > :05:00.said the material should be dealt with closer to home. Some of the

:05:01. > :05:05.material will go to other places to be made safer, but places within the

:05:06. > :05:08.UK or at worst Njie bits of Europe. Certainly there is no need to send

:05:09. > :05:11.anything to the elected states, and certainly no need for anything in

:05:12. > :05:16.the States to be sent across Europe. The movement of nuclear waste is a

:05:17. > :05:20.reserved matter, and SNP leaders have already criticised a separate

:05:21. > :05:25.plan to fly waste out of Dounreay's closest airport at Wick. But the UK

:05:26. > :05:28.Government says there are established procedures for the

:05:29. > :05:29.transportation of nuclear materials, transfers which have happened across

:05:30. > :05:34.the country for decades. He made up half of one

:07:17. > :07:22.the world. For almost two decades, The Two Ronnies was one of the most

:07:23. > :07:30.popular shows on British television. Fork handles, handles for forks. A

:07:31. > :07:35.mix of sketches, comedy numbers, spoof newscasts, and Ronnie

:08:07. > :08:08.after dropping plans to reduce Labour wants to put a penny

:08:09. > :08:12.on all income tax rates. Here's our Political Correspondent

:08:13. > :08:22.Glenn Campbell. The bad news for you all is that

:08:23. > :08:28.this is a speech about tax. When Labour Frost said they wanted to put

:08:29. > :08:33.a penny on all income tax rates, they promised a ?100 rebate for

:08:34. > :08:40.lower earners. That was meant to be a temporary fix. To be replaced with

:08:41. > :08:46.new protection in 2017 when Holyrood's tax powers are extended.

:08:47. > :08:53.In the BBC debate, the party leader was pressed to explain how this new

:08:54. > :08:55.protection would be achieved. You have new powers which allow you to

:08:56. > :09:01.set the threshold rate we should set new thresholds to protect...

:09:02. > :09:07.Changing the tax thresholds, the point at which people become liable

:09:08. > :09:10.to pay a particular rate of tax adds complexity. And because it would not

:09:11. > :09:16.only help those on the lowest incomes, but all income taxpayers,

:09:17. > :09:22.that could add up to a significant amount of lost revenue. Perhaps

:09:23. > :09:27.that's why I the time the SNP leader was cross-examining Kezia Dugdale on

:09:28. > :09:35.the second TV debate, the idea had been dropped. Because of the changes

:09:36. > :09:39.to the personal allowance I can 100% guarantee that everybody earning

:09:40. > :09:44.under ?20,000 a year will not pay a penny more in tax. The Chancellor,

:09:45. > :09:48.George Osborne, is raising the personal tax-free allowance.

:09:49. > :09:56.Allowing Labour to save their extra penny would not increase what basic

:09:57. > :09:59.ratepayers contribute now. My Scottish taxpayers would be paying

:10:00. > :10:05.more than those anywhere else in the UK. In the Cairngorms, the

:10:06. > :10:11.Conservatives condemn Labour's change of direction. They said they

:10:12. > :10:15.were going to help restore earners in Scotland, and then they said they

:10:16. > :10:20.were going to take that away. This is an embarrassment for Kezia

:10:21. > :10:25.Dugdale. In Hollick, the SNP leader adds to the criticism. It is a

:10:26. > :10:28.broken promise, but more than that it is really letting down the people

:10:29. > :10:34.who most need the help of government. In Edinburgh, Liberal

:10:35. > :10:39.Democrats say Labour is more in step with them on tax. Labour have moved

:10:40. > :10:42.into the right place. It protects people on low incomes but it

:10:43. > :10:52.guarantees investment on education, that is the right thing to do.

:10:53. > :10:55.Visiting entrepreneurs in Edinburgh, Labour's shadow Scottish Secretary

:10:56. > :10:59.defends his party's plans. Every single country in the world is

:11:00. > :11:02.different tax rates in different tax levels, and we have said clearly we

:11:03. > :11:05.can either stay on this downward spiral of austerity in Scotland by

:11:06. > :11:10.being a conveyor belt for Conservative cuts in Westminster or

:11:11. > :11:14.we can do things differently. Labour's trouble is that their idea

:11:15. > :11:15.of doing things differently on tax has changed from one week to the

:11:16. > :11:16.next. Well, it's over to the weather

:11:17. > :11:27.outlook for tonight and tomorrow. Thank you. It was a lovely ends

:11:28. > :11:31.today from any, and to start the night it has been dry but quite

:11:32. > :11:36.chilly. Overnight the cloud builds. Temperatures recover, and there is

:11:37. > :11:40.rain on the way. Through the early hours high-pressure slips southwards

:11:41. > :11:42.allowing this weather fronts to arrive, bringing some fairly

:11:43. > :11:47.persistent rain and some strengthening winds. But to start

:11:48. > :11:51.the day tomorrow, from any central and eastern parts probably a dry

:11:52. > :11:55.morning. The rain already set in across Hebrides and the West Coast.

:11:56. > :11:58.It clock tomorrow morning, for eastern areas perhaps the odd spell

:11:59. > :12:05.of mourning brightness, milder than this morning. That rain set in

:12:06. > :12:08.across the West Coast and the Hebrides. Perhaps the odd shower

:12:09. > :12:14.head that rain band but for most it is a dry start. That rain edges in

:12:15. > :12:17.towards Orkney and will continue upwards towards Shetland as well

:12:18. > :12:21.across most of Scotland through the course of the morning, slowly edging

:12:22. > :12:25.its way eastwards. The further east you are, the drier and patchy at

:12:26. > :12:29.that rain is likely to be. Edinburgh perhaps staying dry, but further

:12:30. > :12:34.west difficult conditions on the roads with surface water and spray.

:12:35. > :12:39.Similar for Northern Ireland with splashes across Wales. For most of

:12:40. > :12:42.England it is dry with averages into mid-teens. For us it is cloudy and

:12:43. > :12:46.wet. Some brighter moments towards the cost of Aberdeenshire and

:12:47. > :12:51.Murray, but for many areas it is rain. The rain clears away towards

:12:52. > :12:55.the south but the weather front becomes stuck just south of the

:12:56. > :12:59.border, and then starts to come back north again. And as it does so, some

:13:00. > :13:03.uncertainty on the speed of its progress northwards. You can see

:13:04. > :13:08.they're pushing towards southern Scotland, perhaps the central belt

:13:09. > :13:11.by mid-afternoon. South of the rain it is dry and bright in the

:13:12. > :13:16.sunshine, and certainly drive for Highland and Grampian. Into Sunday,

:13:17. > :13:19.low-pressure pulls away, but this other low-pressure system is nearby

:13:20. > :13:20.meaning win at times in those conditions lasting with us through

:13:21. > :13:21.to Monday. Our next update is during Breakfast

:13:22. > :13:24.at 6:25 tomorrow morning. But, from everyone on the late team
