coming on BBC Two, special programme asking what kind of country the

:00:00.3:59:59

would be if there was about leave the EU.

:00:00.:00:00.

The Scottish Football Association is setting up an independent

:00:07.:00:09.

commission to look into Saturday's violence, at the end

:00:10.:00:18.

condemned the scenes, which marred the occasion.

:00:19.:00:22.

Police are carrying out a full investigation

:00:23.:00:24.

Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Reevel Alderson reports.

:00:25.:00:27.

It was billed as the showpiece of Scottish football,

:00:28.:00:32.

instead the pictures were of ugly scenes as Hibs

:00:33.:00:35.

The fans clashed and a number of Rangers players and

:00:36.:00:48.

Eventually police aided by mounted officers took control but questions

:00:49.:00:51.

have been raised about how it could have happened.

:00:52.:00:53.

You can see both sets of supporters...

:00:54.:00:55.

Rangers and Celtic fans rioted after the 1980 cup final.

:00:56.:00:58.

This man was there, he says he cannot understand why more

:00:59.:01:02.

The place is absolute pandemonium and turmoil.

:01:03.:01:12.

We have to make sure we have a stewarding,

:01:13.:01:13.

Traffic cones would have done a better job than these

:01:14.:01:20.

because it didn't help in any way.

:01:21.:01:30.

Events moved rapidly, the final whistle went at 4.51pm,

:01:31.:01:35.

Within another minute, Hibs fans were attacking Rangers

:01:36.:01:43.

players and rival supporters before police horses arrived

:01:44.:01:46.

It was contained in five minutes and police say their focus is now

:01:47.:01:54.

We are gathering CCTV, mobile, and helicopter footage.

:01:55.:02:06.

To go to all the available evidence we have, in relation to the acts of

:02:07.:02:13.

violence and disorder occurring on Saturday afternoon.

:02:14.:02:14.

condemned the violence, which she says has no place

:02:15.:02:17.

Anybody who committed an offence after the final whistle

:02:18.:02:21.

on Saturday should be dealt with by police.

:02:22.:02:23.

Of course, the police and authorities have set up a wider

:02:24.:02:26.

review of what happened, and lessons should be learned.

:02:27.:02:30.

The Scottish Football Association has established an independent

:02:31.:02:31.

commission to investigate, and says information

:02:32.:02:35.

Nicola Sturgeon says Stewart Hosie is "doing the right

:02:36.:02:45.

thing" by standing down as SNP deputy leader.

:02:46.:02:49.

Mr Hosie has come under intense scrutiny from some newspapers

:02:50.:02:52.

after reports of an affair, but Miss Sturgeon denies that

:02:53.:02:55.

With more, here's our political correspondent, Nick Eardley.

:02:56.:03:08.

All smiles from the First Minister in London

:03:09.:03:10.

Green MP Caroline Lucas and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood under the

:03:11.:03:13.

Three women in politics here to make their case

:03:14.:03:16.

But Nicola Sturgeon was also here to address her party's MPs.

:03:17.:03:27.

Stewart Hosie said he would be standing down

:03:28.:03:29.

I am sorry to see him go but he has taken a decision that

:03:30.:03:37.

thinks is right for him, his health and his family

:03:38.:03:39.

Stewart Hosie said he had quit after reports he had

:03:40.:03:45.

He announced last week he separated from his wife.

:03:46.:03:54.

In a letter to Nicola Sturgeon, he apologised

:03:55.:03:56.

for hurt caused and said he had found scrutiny of his private life

:03:57.:04:00.

difficult after suffering from high blood pressure,

:04:01.:04:03.

These are difficult issues and painful issues

:04:04.:04:10.

They are also difficult for the friends and colleagues

:04:11.:04:14.

of the couple concerned but fundamentally they

:04:15.:04:16.

His replacement will be chosen in the autumn.

:04:17.:04:24.

As she meets with her MPs in Parliament tonight,

:04:25.:04:25.

Nicola Sturgeon will hope to make sure the focus is firmly

:04:26.:04:28.

Today, the first in a series of new powers are transferred

:04:29.:04:36.

The Scottish Parliament takes on responsibility for areas

:04:37.:04:41.

like consumer protection, and abortion law.

:04:42.:04:44.

New tax and welfare powers come into force at a later date.

:04:45.:04:48.

UK ministers say it makes Holyrood one of the world's most powerful

:04:49.:04:51.

And while they fall short of the SNP goal of independence,

:04:52.:04:57.

Scottish ministers say they'll be used to their full extent.

:04:58.:05:02.

The leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Ruth Davidson,

:05:03.:05:04.

Ms Davidson tweeted that she'd popped the question

:05:05.:05:08.

to her partner Jen Wilson, while the pair were

:05:09.:05:10.

The MSP also posted a picture of an engagement ring.

:05:11.:05:17.

Now, the arming of police officers in Scotland has proved

:05:18.:05:20.

So with the increased terror threat across the UK,

:05:21.:05:25.

tactics and techniques are being reviewed and updated.

:05:26.:05:29.

Our reporter, Cameron Buttle has been given special access to

:05:30.:05:31.

the Jackton Police Training College, near East Kilbride.

:05:32.:05:44.

Armed police officers are taking part in a training exercise.

:05:45.:05:48.

These are experienced officers constantly training

:05:49.:05:54.

for worst-case scenarios, always looking for the best outcome.

:05:55.:06:01.

There are 275 dedicated firearms officers in Scotland,

:06:02.:06:06.

and all had to undergo months of basic training

:06:07.:06:08.

courses to maintain skills throughout their career.

:06:09.:06:13.

All firearms officers are trained to a very high

:06:14.:06:15.

national minimum standard, but there is far more

:06:16.:06:17.

to the training than just hitting those targets on the range.

:06:18.:06:27.

You are looking to be in control of him.

:06:28.:06:35.

Ask him who he is and tell them why you are here.

:06:36.:06:38.

They call this the judgment suite, a deadly serious video role-play

:06:39.:06:40.

system programmed to test the judgment of the officers,

:06:41.:06:43.

forcing them to make split-second calls again and again.

:06:44.:06:45.

You only realise he has gone when he produces it from his back.

:06:46.:06:52.

It is about the mental processes, the majority, the understanding,

:06:53.:06:57.

what is the appropriate response to what is happening at the time,

:06:58.:07:00.

and what option they will use to resolve that incident.

:07:01.:07:09.

Keep your hands where I can see them.

:07:10.:07:12.

Carrying a firearm, resolution to the firearm isn't always

:07:13.:07:14.

That is what's between the ears and what comes out of the mouth is

:07:15.:07:24.

what resolves it as soon as possible.

:07:25.:07:26.

The deployment of armed police officers has proved

:07:27.:07:28.

There were claims they were carrying firearms to attend routine

:07:29.:07:31.

incidents, they say that is not the case.

:07:32.:07:35.

Where we probably got it wrong was we didn't communicate properly

:07:36.:07:41.

in terms of telling the people of Scotland why we need these

:07:42.:07:46.

officers on the streets, but I have to say as well that

:07:47.:07:56.

whilst there was quite the malestrom even around the heated debate,

:07:57.:08:00.

that is not is what is reflected in the street.

:08:01.:08:05.

In the year to February, armed police officers

:08:06.:08:09.

There has been one shooting, one man not fatally injured.

:08:10.:08:20.

A man who raped and abused three women over a 28-year period has been

:08:21.:08:30.

Andrew Reilly, from Dundee, will also be monitored

:08:31.:08:34.

in the community for six years after his release from prison.

:08:35.:08:38.

He was also placed on the sex offenders register.

:08:39.:08:43.

Highland Council is handing out more than ?13 million

:08:44.:08:45.

in redundancy payments to staff this year.

:08:46.:08:49.

340 people have taken voluntary redundancy packages,

:08:50.:08:53.

which were offered to try to cut the council's wage bill.

:08:54.:08:56.

Council leaders say applicants are only accepted if there is no

:08:57.:08:59.

"the provision of safe and effective services."

:09:00.:09:06.

Dundee Airport's welcomed its first ever scheduled international flight.

:09:07.:09:12.

The service between the city and the Netherlands is being

:09:13.:09:15.

supported by UK Government funding and will fly to Amsterdam

:09:16.:09:17.

It's hoped the new route should boost tourism to Tayside,

:09:18.:09:21.

and help Dundee firms trade on the continent.

:09:22.:09:25.

Brendan Rodgers says it's not a step down to manage Celtic.

:09:26.:09:31.

The former Liverpool boss has had his first day in the new job,

:09:32.:09:34.

under the scrutiny of fans and the media.

:09:35.:09:36.

Our senior football reporter Chris McLaughlin has the details.

:09:37.:09:44.

On a sunny afternoon in Glasgow, they came in their thousands, not

:09:45.:09:52.

for a match but for a manager. It was the media and a message to those

:09:53.:09:57.

who raised eyebrows about the man's move north.

:09:58.:10:00.

Celtic is one of the biggest clubs in the world and for me to come out

:10:01.:10:04.

of the Premier League up to here is not a step down. This is one of the

:10:05.:10:09.

great clubs of the world. It is an institution in its own right, suffer

:10:10.:10:15.

me to come here is a huge honour and privilege -- so for me to come here.

:10:16.:10:21.

What can the fans expect? They demand success, something he is

:10:22.:10:24.

aware of. I understand the values and

:10:25.:10:27.

expectations here. It is not just about winning. Celtic is brought up

:10:28.:10:36.

to winning away football, and it is an identity, and hopefully we can

:10:37.:10:41.

create that here, and help the supporters.

:10:42.:10:47.

What are their expectations? O, brilliant. We will win ten in a

:10:48.:10:51.

row. He will bring stability to the team.

:10:52.:10:57.

In the last 16 years, that has been what the fans were hoping for.

:10:58.:11:02.

To be honest, Ronnie did what he could but he was not the man.

:11:03.:11:07.

They believe this is the man, Brendan Rodgers, Celtic manager. For

:11:08.:11:13.

him and the fans it is now about the reality of living up to the hype.

:11:14.:11:14.

Let's get the latest weather forecast now, with Judith.

:11:15.:11:18.

Thank you very much. The showers we saw earlier on continue to die away,

:11:19.:11:26.

with lovely pictures sent in from the Weather Watchers of the sunset

:11:27.:11:31.

from Aviemore. Through the night, it is dry, with long, clear spells.

:11:32.:11:35.

This will lead to a chilly night in places.

:11:36.:11:37.

High pressure builds in, allowing temperatures to fall for some, with

:11:38.:11:46.

a touch of frost for some. The dawn is early, with a lovely start of the

:11:47.:11:50.

day, feeling cool first thing, around 6-7dC. There will tend to be

:11:51.:11:56.

more cloud towards the east coast. Towards the north-east as well, and

:11:57.:12:01.

the Northern Isles, a bit of a fresh, north-easterly wind,

:12:02.:12:03.

continuing for much of the day. Good, sunny spells across the

:12:04.:12:07.

Western Isles generally. Any cloud in the East clears a wager in the

:12:08.:12:12.

day, so all in all we are looking at a lovely, fine spring day. The

:12:13.:12:16.

weather is set to be fair for the rest of the UK, Northern Ireland dry

:12:17.:12:21.

with sunny spells, one or two showers for Wales and looks like a

:12:22.:12:24.

beautiful day elsewhere. The risk of a breeze on the East Coast, bringing

:12:25.:12:30.

temperatures back here, and along the east coast and all of the UK,

:12:31.:12:37.

temperatures up to 18-19dC. Up to 20 Celsius towards Glasgow and Argyll.

:12:38.:12:41.

A lovely day. Again, cool over Shetland with that north-easterly

:12:42.:12:47.

breeze lingering here. Tomorrow, into the evening, a lovely enter the

:12:48.:12:51.

day. Fine evening, dry overnight with long, clear spells, cloud

:12:52.:12:56.

increasing across eastern Scotland. Here is why. High-pressure dominate

:12:57.:13:01.

our weather, and around the high pressure, winds come from the

:13:02.:13:03.

north-east from Norway, introducing more cloud to eastern parts of the

:13:04.:13:09.

UK, keeping things cooler. Wednesday looks the cloudy at but it will be

:13:10.:13:14.

dry. The best sunshine is across western Scotland. Clodius guys in

:13:15.:13:17.

the East, with a breeze, and it will feel cooler. See you tomorrow.

:13:18.:13:19.

Our next update is during Breakfast at 6.25am tomorrow morning.

:13:20.:13:24.

But, from everyone on the late team, here in Glasgow and around
