:00:14. > :00:15.The football authorities announce an independent inquiry
:00:16. > :00:18.into the crowd violence which marred the Scottish cup final on Saturday.
:00:19. > :00:20.Also on the programme, Nicola Sturgeon says Stewart Hosie
:00:21. > :00:23.has "done the right thing" in standing down as the SNP's deputy
:00:24. > :00:30.Following the controversy over armed police,
:00:31. > :00:34.we get access to Police Scotland's training centre for armed officers.
:00:35. > :00:37.Brendan Rodgers says the move to Celtic isn't a step down
:00:38. > :00:43.after managing a club in the English Premiership.
:00:44. > :00:46.And The Little White Town of Never Weary is brought to life
:00:47. > :01:07.The Scottish Football Association is setting up an independent
:01:08. > :01:09.commission to look into Saturday's violence at the end
:01:10. > :01:13.The First Minister has condemned the scenes,
:01:14. > :01:17.Police are carrying out a full investigation
:01:18. > :01:29.Our Home Affairs Correspondent Reevel Alderson reports.
:01:30. > :01:36.Hibernian have won the Scottish cup! It was billed as the showpiece of
:01:37. > :01:42.Scottish football, instead the pictures were of ugly scenes as Hibs
:01:43. > :01:48.fans invaded the pitch. The fans clashed and a number of Rangers
:01:49. > :01:51.players and staff were assaulted. Eventually police aided by mounted
:01:52. > :01:55.officers took control but questions have been raised about how it could
:01:56. > :02:01.have happened. You can see both sets of supporters... Rangers and Celtic
:02:02. > :02:09.fans rioted after the 1980 cup final. This man was there, he says
:02:10. > :02:14.he cannot understand why more was final. This man was there, he says
:02:15. > :02:18.not done to prevent the trouble. We have to make sure we have a
:02:19. > :02:23.stewarding, police cannot provide the resources. We need adequate
:02:24. > :02:27.stewarding. Traffic cones would have done a better job than these lemon
:02:28. > :02:33.coloured jacketed stewards because it didn't help in anyway, they just
:02:34. > :02:44.on. Events moved rapidly, the final whistle went at 4:51pm, then the
:02:45. > :02:48.pitch invasion began. Within another minute, Hibs fans were attacking
:02:49. > :02:55.Rangers players and rival supporters before police horses arrived and the
:02:56. > :02:58.pitch was secured. It was contained in five minutes and police say their
:02:59. > :03:12.focus is now on those who are responsible. We are gathering CCTV,
:03:13. > :03:16.mobile, and helicopter footage. The First Minister has condemned the
:03:17. > :03:20.violence, which she says has no place on or off the football pitch.
:03:21. > :03:25.Anybody who committed an offence after the final whistle on Saturday
:03:26. > :03:29.should be dealt with by police. Of course the police and authorities
:03:30. > :03:34.have set up a wider review of what happened, and lessons should be
:03:35. > :03:37.learned. The Scottish football association has established an
:03:38. > :03:38.independent commission to investigate, and says information
:03:39. > :03:41.will be shared with police. The First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon,
:03:42. > :03:44.says Stewart Hosie is "doing the right thing" in standing down
:03:45. > :03:48.as deputy leader of the SNP. Mr Hosie has come under intense
:03:49. > :03:50.scrutiny from tabloid newspapers, but Miss Sturgeon denies the party
:03:51. > :03:53.has been damaged by those stories With more, here's our political
:03:54. > :04:05.correspondent, Nick Eardley. from the First Minister in London
:04:06. > :04:11.this morning. She joined Green MP Caroline Lucas and Plaid
:04:12. > :04:25.Cymru's Leanne Wood under the here to make their case for staying
:04:26. > :04:25.in the EU. But Nicola Sturgeon was also
:04:26. > :04:32.here to address her party's MPs. Stewart Hosie said he
:04:33. > :04:39.would be standing down as the party's deputy leader. I am sorry to
:04:40. > :04:40.see him go but he has taken a decision that
:04:41. > :04:47.thinks is right for him, his health and his family and I support him in
:04:48. > :04:50.that decision. Stewart Hosie said he had quit after reports he had an
:04:51. > :04:52.affair with a journalist. He announced last week he
:04:53. > :05:02.The -- in a letter to Nicola Sturgeon, he apologised for hurt
:05:03. > :05:08.caused and said he had found scrutiny of his private life
:05:09. > :05:13.difficult after suffering from high blood pressure, but has the row
:05:14. > :05:17.damaged the party? These are difficult issues and painful issues
:05:18. > :05:21.for the people in concerned. They are also difficult for the friends
:05:22. > :05:23.and colleagues of the couple concerned but fundamentally they are
:05:24. > :05:30.private issues. His replacement will be chosen in the autumn. As she
:05:31. > :05:31.meets with her MPs in Parliament tonight, Nicola Sturgeon will
:05:32. > :05:36.hope to make sure the focus is firmly back on politics.
:05:37. > :05:39.Now, the arming of police officers in Scotland has been
:05:40. > :05:57.With the increased terror threat across the UK,
:05:58. > :05:59.tactics and techniques are being reviewed and updated.
:06:00. > :06:01.Our reporter Cameron Buttle has been given special access to
:06:02. > :06:04.the Jackton Police Training College, near East Kilbride.
:06:05. > :06:14.And -- armed police officers are taking part in a training exercise.
:06:15. > :06:17.These are experienced officers constantly training for worst-case
:06:18. > :06:23.scenarios, always looking for the best outcome. There are 275
:06:24. > :06:28.dedicated firearms officers in Scotland, all had to undergo months
:06:29. > :06:32.of basic training and then regular refresher courses to maintain skills
:06:33. > :06:36.throughout their career. All firearms officers are trained to a
:06:37. > :06:38.very high national minimum standard, but there is far more to the
:06:39. > :06:49.training than just hitting those targets on the range. You try to get
:06:50. > :06:56.him to calm down, you are looking to be in control of him. They call this
:06:57. > :07:00.the judgment suite, a deadly serious video role-play system programmed to
:07:01. > :07:05.test the judgment of the officers, forcing them to make split second
:07:06. > :07:10.calls again and again. You only realise he has gone when he produces
:07:11. > :07:17.it from his back. For me it was late. It is about the mental
:07:18. > :07:21.processes, the majority, the understanding, what is the
:07:22. > :07:23.appropriate response to what is happening at the time, and what
:07:24. > :07:35.option they will use to resolve that incident. Keep your hands where I
:07:36. > :07:39.can see them. Carrying a firearm, resolution to the firearm isn't
:07:40. > :07:43.always an appropriate response. That is what's between the ears and what
:07:44. > :07:47.comes out of the mouth is what results it as soon as possible. The
:07:48. > :07:53.deployment of armed police officers has proved highly controversial.
:07:54. > :07:55.There were claims they were carrying firearms to attend routine
:07:56. > :08:02.incidents, they say that is not the case. Where we probably got it wrong
:08:03. > :08:06.was we didn't communicate properly in terms of telling the people of
:08:07. > :08:18.Scotland why we need these officers on the streets, but I have to say as
:08:19. > :08:24.well that whilst there was quite the male strong, even around the heated
:08:25. > :08:35.debate, that is not is what is reflected in the street. In the year
:08:36. > :08:40.to February, armed police officers were deployed to 1836 incidents.
:08:41. > :08:42.There has been one shooting, one man not fatally injured.
:08:43. > :08:44.And Cameron has also been hearing from Scotland's specialist
:08:45. > :08:50.You can see his special report on this programme tomorrow night.
:08:51. > :08:52.The leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Ruth Davidson,
:08:53. > :08:57.Ms Davidson tweeted that she'd popped the question to her partner
:08:58. > :09:01.Jen Wilson, while the pair were away over the weekend.
:09:02. > :09:08.The MSP also posted a picture of an engagement ring.
:09:09. > :09:11.The Scottish Parliament gains a string of new powers from today
:09:12. > :09:12.as Westminster legislation takes effect.
:09:13. > :09:14.But the impact of some of the most significant changes
:09:15. > :09:17.To explain, I'm joined now by our political
:09:18. > :09:32.Bring us up to speed with these new powers. The Scotland act arose from
:09:33. > :09:37.the Smith commission which itself rose from the referendum so quite a
:09:38. > :09:43.long genesis. New powers coming in today, a big range over controlling
:09:44. > :09:46.gaming machines, competition law, equal opportunities, and a raft of
:09:47. > :09:51.new transport powers including control over the policing of the
:09:52. > :09:56.railways in Scotland. Perhaps the biggest is one in the short-term at
:09:57. > :10:00.least is not likely to be used and that is control over abortion. None
:10:01. > :10:04.of the parties have said they are prepared to countenance any changes
:10:05. > :10:07.in the law, but that power is transferred from today. Widely
:10:08. > :10:13.further delay in some of the biggest changes? Because they need to smooth
:10:14. > :10:18.the path to further implementation. They are huge changes. Detail will
:10:19. > :10:30.be discussed between the Government. They are huge changes. Detail will
:10:31. > :10:32.Above all, control over taxation. There will be income taxation. Next
:10:33. > :10:39.year the Scottish parliament will have full control of income tax,
:10:40. > :10:41.rates and banding. Thank you for that.
:10:42. > :10:44.Scotland's largest offshore wind farm is to be built
:10:45. > :10:46.in the Moray Firth, off the Caithness coast.
:10:47. > :10:54.It represents an investment of more than two and a half billion pounds
:10:55. > :10:56.for Scottish and Southern Energy, and the firm's financial backers.
:10:57. > :10:59.It's set to bring hundreds of new jobs to the Highlands,
:11:00. > :11:07.Ten years ago in the first of two demonstration wind turbines, this is
:11:08. > :11:10.towed out to be installed in the North Sea. It may have taken a
:11:11. > :11:14.decade but these towers just ten miles from the coast have become the
:11:15. > :11:20.forerunners to Scotland's first commercial offshore wind farm.
:11:21. > :11:23.Scotland has been at the forefront of the renewables revolution, in
:11:24. > :11:27.that we have very ambitious targets for tackling climate change which
:11:28. > :11:32.tied into our targets for renewable energy as well. At the time they
:11:33. > :11:34.were the biggest wind turbines in the world, and the scale of the
:11:35. > :11:41.were the biggest wind turbines in Beatrice project is truly enormous.
:11:42. > :11:45.It will have 84 separate turbines, producing enough electricity to
:11:46. > :11:50.power 450,000 homes. It will cost ?2.6 billion, one of the largest
:11:51. > :11:54.private construction projects ever built in Scotland. And its backers
:11:55. > :12:01.say more than 1 billion of that will be spent in the UK. 90 long-term
:12:02. > :12:06.permanent jobs will be created at an operations and maintenance based at
:12:07. > :12:09.Wick harbour. At a time when the oil and gas prices are where they are,
:12:10. > :12:16.it is really good we are getting another energy project under way and
:12:17. > :12:20.a substantial one. Very good for Caithness and the east coast. Given
:12:21. > :12:26.the experience of many onshore wind farms, much of the hardware may come
:12:27. > :12:35.from abroad. Unfortunately a lot of the old fabrication, they were
:12:36. > :12:39.hoping to get work to build the turbines for Beatrice but it looks
:12:40. > :12:44.like most of the work will go overseas or to a new yard in Hull in
:12:45. > :12:49.England. But facilities could still be in the running to fabricate the
:12:50. > :12:54.subsea structures like these, anchoring the turbine towers to the
:12:55. > :12:58.sea bed. And the Beatrice wind farm may be the precursor to other
:12:59. > :13:00.similar wind farm developments off the Scottish coast.
:13:01. > :13:02.Highland Council is handing out more than ?13 million
:13:03. > :13:05.in redundancy payments to staff this year.
:13:06. > :13:07.340 people have taken voluntary redundancy packages,
:13:08. > :13:09.which were offered to try to cut the council's wage bill.
:13:10. > :13:15.Council leaders say applicants have only been accepted if there was no
:13:16. > :13:18.impact on what they call "the provision of safe
:13:19. > :13:27.Dundee airport's welcomed its first ever scheduled international flight.
:13:28. > :13:29.The service between the city and Amsterdam is being supported
:13:30. > :13:38.It's hoped the new route will boost tourism to the Tayside area,
:13:39. > :13:43.and help Dundee firms trade internationally.
:13:44. > :13:51.Let's get all the sports news with Rhona.
:13:52. > :13:55.Brendan Rodgers says it's not a step down to manage Celtic.
:13:56. > :13:58.The former Liverpool boss has had a meet and greet kind
:13:59. > :14:00.of day in Glasgow under the scrutiny of
:14:01. > :14:03.Our senior football reporter Chris McLaughlin is there now.
:14:04. > :14:11.Chris, what has the new man been saying?
:14:12. > :14:18.We will hear from Brendan Rodgers shortly. Worth pointing out that
:14:19. > :14:23.around 10,000 Celtic fans turned up today to welcome him, some still
:14:24. > :14:26.outside of the stadium. To say they are excited is an understatement.
:14:27. > :14:30.Friday was all about the confirmation he was taking the job,
:14:31. > :14:37.today it is about hearing his plans of manager of the football club. On
:14:38. > :14:41.a sunny afternoon in Glasgow they came in their thousands, not for a
:14:42. > :14:47.match but for a manager. Before that it was the media and a message to
:14:48. > :14:51.those who raised eyebrows about his move north. Celtic is one of the
:14:52. > :14:55.biggest clubs in the world and for me to come out of the Premier League
:14:56. > :14:59.up to here is certainly not a step down. This is one of the great clubs
:15:00. > :15:08.in the world, an institution in its own right. For me to come here it is
:15:09. > :15:11.a huge honour and a privilege. What can the fans expect? They demand
:15:12. > :15:16.success, something he says he is well aware of. I understand the
:15:17. > :15:19.values of this club and the expectation and pressure here
:15:20. > :15:28.because it is not just about winning. Celtic is brought up to win
:15:29. > :15:33.in a style and identity and that is something we can hopefully create
:15:34. > :15:35.here and make the supporters proud. They are certainly behind the
:15:36. > :15:41.opponents so what are their expectations? Brilliant. We are
:15:42. > :15:47.going to win ten in a row. I think he might bring stability for the
:15:48. > :15:53.team, maybe put us in the last 16 of Europe. To be perfectly honest,
:15:54. > :15:57.Ronnie did what he could but he wasn't the man.
:15:58. > :16:02.They now believe this is the month. Brendan Rodgers, Celtic manager. A
:16:03. > :16:06.dream for him and for the fans. It is now about the reality of living
:16:07. > :16:11.up to the hype. Incredible scenes inside and outside
:16:12. > :16:17.Celtic Park today, as Brendan Rodgers was shown off to the media
:16:18. > :16:22.and the fans. He spoke about budget, of course he doesn't have the
:16:23. > :16:26.millions and millions he had available as Liverpool manager but
:16:27. > :16:30.he did say he is confident that if a player is made available then the
:16:31. > :16:35.money will also be made available to get that player. That remains to be
:16:36. > :16:40.seen. He also had a chat about the Celtic squad, a pretty hefty squad
:16:41. > :16:47.under the previous manager. He said he would like to trim that squad and
:16:48. > :16:50.spoke about a number two. No confirmation about that as yet. Who
:16:51. > :16:54.will be his assistant? Suggestions that he may want to have someone
:16:55. > :16:59.with more knowledge of Celtic beside him. He says he has someone in mind,
:17:00. > :17:03.but despite Internet rumours it appears it will not be Steven
:17:04. > :17:14.Gerrard. It doesn't look like he will be swapping LA Galaxy for the
:17:15. > :17:18.East End of Glasgow. Andy Murray is in first-round action at the French
:17:19. > :17:24.open in Paris playing qualifier Radek stepper neck and it's not all
:17:25. > :17:29.going to plan so far. He is a breakdown in the first set and
:17:30. > :17:31.losing 4-3. It's the second grand slam of the season and the first to
:17:32. > :17:33.three sets. The Scotland Rugby Sevens head coach
:17:34. > :17:36.says the team now has a strong A year ago the Sevens
:17:37. > :17:41.programme was under threat. But yesterday, the Scots
:17:42. > :17:45.won their first World Sevens Series title -
:17:46. > :17:47.with a remarkable final minute victory over
:17:48. > :17:57.South Africa at Twickenham. It was the stuff sporting dreams are
:17:58. > :18:02.made of. Scotland 11 points behind the mighty Springboks with 30
:18:03. > :18:08.seconds to play. Then this happened. Just needs to give the pass,
:18:09. > :18:14.Scotland are there, that is five. In added time they did again. Today at
:18:15. > :18:20.triumphant return to Edinburgh and memories of making history. Didn't
:18:21. > :18:24.really think about that at the point, just had to help the team win
:18:25. > :18:33.the game, one of the boys put it on the plate for me and I just put it
:18:34. > :18:39.down. It was a bit frantic. A piece of Scottish rugby history! They no
:18:40. > :18:43.longer enjoy our home event after Scotland was removed from the series
:18:44. > :18:50.calendar a year ago. That decision cast doubt over the team itself,
:18:51. > :18:54.does this victory help protect the future? Ultimately decisions have to
:18:55. > :18:58.be made and to the credit of the board they made a strong call to
:18:59. > :19:05.retain the programme off the back of that there has been a big emphasis
:19:06. > :19:08.on using the sevens programme to develop fifteens players. I think
:19:09. > :19:16.it's got a very strong and sustainable position. For the sevens
:19:17. > :19:21.game the focus is on the Olympics, four Scots will be hoping to use the
:19:22. > :19:26.London experience to gain selection for Rio. What a remarkable
:19:27. > :19:29.turnaround that was. for Rio. What a remarkable

:19:33. > :19:34.by Scottish Opera begins The Little White Town of Never Weary
:19:35. > :19:38.is about a girl called Jessie who builds a little white town out
:19:39. > :19:40.of cardboard and glue. The REAL Jessie was the author
:19:41. > :19:46.Jessie M King Who lived And it's likely to give the town
:19:47. > :19:49.and its most famous Our arts correspondent
:19:50. > :20:05.Pauline McLean reports. It's the story of a little girl
:20:06. > :20:15.called Jessie and a little white town called Never Weary. It has been
:20:16. > :20:20.brought to the stage by Scottish Opera as part of the festival of
:20:21. > :20:23.architecture. It wasn't a story I knew that I was introduced to the
:20:24. > :20:27.book and I remember thinking if I had seen this book as a child I
:20:28. > :20:31.would never have returned it to the library. I was obsessed as a child
:20:32. > :20:37.with making things out of cardboard and this entire book tells you how
:20:38. > :20:42.to make things. Jessie M King lived here and it's not hard to see how
:20:43. > :20:47.she found inspiration for the little white town of Never Weary with its
:20:48. > :20:50.dolls houses, churches, Robert touches and windmills all drained by
:20:51. > :20:59.the little girl long before she made them. Artists live and work in
:21:00. > :21:03.Jessie M King's old house and are happy to show visitors were she
:21:04. > :21:08.worked and run a trail to introduce the new generation of artists. There
:21:09. > :21:14.are a great range of artists in the town. I think there are some who are
:21:15. > :21:20.genuinely as good as the artists perform. There are some who are
:21:21. > :21:21.amateurs and our trail encompasses everyone, be they a child or someone
:21:22. > :21:27.who is 90. If they want to put everyone, be they a child or someone
:21:28. > :21:31.something in they can, we are not selective and I think she would like
:21:32. > :21:36.that. For those who know her only as an artist it's a new side to Jessie
:21:37. > :21:42.M King and the first time her little white town has sprung from Page to
:21:43. > :21:45.stage. For others it's a brand-new introduction to a story which is
:21:46. > :21:50.still charming children 100 years after it was written.
