:01:50. > :01:52.outlet on social media, posting his thoughts on Islam, is humanity and
:01:53. > :01:56.religion. Tanveer Ahmed from Bradford became aware of some of
:01:57. > :01:59.these postings on a trip to Glasgow. He believed Asad Shah was
:02:00. > :02:03.disrespecting the Prophet Muhammad. He travelled back to Glasgow a few
:02:04. > :02:08.days later, telling Fred, "This needs to be nipped in the bud". The
:02:09. > :02:15.judge were shown CCTV footage taken from a camera behind the counter of
:02:16. > :02:18.Asad Shah's shop and 90 was attacked. Ahmed is seen talking to
:02:19. > :02:20.him, he stand aside to let another customer be served and then comes
:02:21. > :02:24.back and continues the conversation. Reaches into his robes, pulled out a
:02:25. > :02:27.knife, comes around to Mr Shah's side of the counter and start
:02:28. > :02:31.stabbing him repeatedly. Mr Shah flees into the road. More CCTV
:02:32. > :02:36.footage there shows him being repeatedly attacked, stabbed,
:02:37. > :02:42.stamped on, punched, way beyond the point he was able to do anything to
:02:43. > :02:44.defend himself. There was a huge public outpouring of shock and
:02:45. > :02:54.sympathy in Glasgow in the days following the murder. He was very
:02:55. > :02:59.friendly and morning we shook hands and said, "Good day, have a nice
:03:00. > :03:04.day", just a person, lovely lad. Very sad, everyone is very sad. We
:03:05. > :03:10.could not believe when we heard the news. Very upset and last night,
:03:11. > :03:13.when we heard it. Vigil was quickly organised and very well attended but
:03:14. > :03:18.the grief became all the more acute for Asad Shah's wife and family,
:03:19. > :03:30.left devastated, shaken and scared. It has split the family apart since
:03:31. > :03:34.the incident. Some members of the family have you they have left
:03:35. > :03:40.Scotland or are in the process of leaving. When the police arrived
:03:41. > :03:43.that night, Mr Shah was dying on the pavement, despite the best efforts
:03:44. > :03:46.of a doctor and nurse who came across the scene. Ahmed sat quietly,
:03:47. > :03:51.praying in a bus stop, waiting for the police to arrest him, even
:03:52. > :03:55.showing them where the knife was lying. It was clear Tanveer Ahmed
:03:56. > :04:00.was motivated by his own religious beliefs but that is not an excuse to

:04:53. > :04:56.quarter of the population. This was home for Tanveer Ahmed, and where he
:04:57. > :05:02.first heard about Asad Shah. He had moved here from Pakistan in 2001 and
:05:03. > :05:07.lived with his wife and family. There was no hint of his capacity
:05:08. > :05:11.for violence. Preceding the act of the crime, there was a calmness but
:05:12. > :05:15.the act itself was four minutes of extreme violence, the likes of which
:05:16. > :05:19.we have not seen before. This is unique event in terms of where it
:05:20. > :05:23.has happened and why it has happened. So why did the religious
:05:24. > :05:27.musings of a Glasgow newsagent prompt this crime? Ahmed has been
:05:28. > :05:32.quite clear, in his highly unusual court statement from April. He said,
:05:33. > :05:36."Asad Shah disrespected the messenger of Islam, the Prophet
:05:37. > :05:39.Muhammad. Mr Shah claimed to be a prophet. If I had not done this,
:05:40. > :05:44.others would and there would have been more killing and violence in
:05:45. > :05:48.the world". Ahmed, who is 32, worked for the taxi firm Uber and set off
:05:49. > :05:54.from Bradford on the Thursday before for the taxi firm Uber and set off
:05:55. > :05:59.Easter weekend, his destination Glasgow South side. After arriving
:06:00. > :06:03.here, Tanveer Ahmed stabbed Mr Shah in his shop, the punishment for what
:06:04. > :06:08.he saw as blasphemy. He made no attempt to escape and was detained
:06:09. > :06:14.by police at the scene. His Volkswagen remained abandoned
:06:15. > :06:17.industry. Tanveer Ahmed's hard-line views do have some mainstream
:06:18. > :06:21.support in his home country of Pakistan, which has some of the
:06:22. > :06:24.strictest blasphemy laws in the world. Insulting the majority
:06:25. > :06:31.religion of Islam can be punished by death. The BBC spoke to Tanveer
:06:32. > :06:35.Ahmed's brother in Pakistan, who did not denounce his brother's actions.

:07:22. > :07:26.says, "I am God", you don't just go and kill the person on that ground.
:07:27. > :07:28.This extreme thinking has caused this murder. Asad Shah was
:07:29. > :07:33.confronted with extreme thinking and extreme violence. One man would

:07:37. > :07:38.Scotland, Glasgow. Before we came on air,
:07:39. > :07:40.I spoke to the BBC's I began by asking Shaima
:07:41. > :07:53.Khalil about the issue It is an extremely sensitive issue
:07:54. > :08:01.here, and issue that provokes a lot of violence and a lot of fear among
:08:02. > :08:04.people. And the reason for that is that blasphemy, firstly, officially,
:08:05. > :08:08.is a capital crime in Pakistan. Someone accused of blasphemy can
:08:09. > :08:14.stand trial and possibly get the death sentence. Despite no one
:08:15. > :08:18.actually having been executed for it, dozens of people were killed
:08:19. > :08:22.outside court, they were killed before their cases even made it to
:08:23. > :08:27.court. And the reason for that is, many people get quite provoked that
:08:28. > :08:32.someone, who they see has insulted the profit and Islam, or the
:08:33. > :08:36.Prophet's family in any way, take it upon themselves to defend Islam, as
:08:37. > :08:40.they say, or defend the honour in the name of the profit, and as a
:08:41. > :08:51.result of that, there are many cases of violence -- of the Prophet. There
:08:52. > :08:54.are instances of people being killed or injured having just been used
:08:55. > :08:57.blasphemy. There have been many calls the laws to be changed and
:08:58. > :09:01.many people have spoken against it because they said mainly targets
:09:02. > :09:04.religious minorities. But it is a very sensitive subject which is
:09:05. > :09:07.often quite life-threatening to the people who talk about it. So many
:09:08. > :09:13.people, especially politicians, avoid talking about it. What can you
:09:14. > :09:16.tell us about the specific background to this case? To
:09:17. > :09:20.understand what inspired Tanveer background to this case? To
:09:21. > :09:28.Ahmed to do what he did, we have do talk about a man in Pakistan who has
:09:29. > :09:31.become the symbol, if you make of the kind of islands that the issue
:09:32. > :09:35.of blasphemy inspires and provokes. This is a man who killed the
:09:36. > :09:38.governor of the Punjab province five years ago because the governor spoke
:09:39. > :09:45.out against the blasphemy law and he was imprisoned for five years and
:09:46. > :09:48.subsequently hanged. But too many of his supporters, they think of him,
:09:49. > :09:54.still, as a hero, the man who defended the religion and the
:09:55. > :09:59.Prophet. It is not just Pakistan where he enjoys support. He also
:10:00. > :10:02.enjoys support in the UK. The religious leader of a mosque in
:10:03. > :10:07.Glasgow, risotto, expressed regret about his execution but also Tanveer
:10:08. > :10:16.Ahmed himself was quite inspired, and we spoke to Mumtaz Khadri's
:10:17. > :10:19.brother in Pakistan who said Tanveer Ahmed was in close contact with him
:10:20. > :10:24.when you was in prison and even had dreams about him, saying that Mumtaz
:10:25. > :10:27.Khadri had said he was chosen for a certain duty. According to Mumtaz
:10:28. > :10:33.Khadri's brother who was also in touch with Tanveer Ahmed, Ahmed was
:10:34. > :10:36.very much inspired by what Mumtaz Khadri did and subsequently went
:10:37. > :10:40.ahead to Glasgow and kill Asad Shah. Thank you for joining us. Shaima

:20:00. > :20:03.for the occasion. It is really windy. You have to be able tow swing
:20:04. > :20:09.the ball with several layers on you. It is not very comfortable for us.
:20:10. > :20:13.It is playing long today. I hit a 2-iron and 4-iron and barely made it
:20:14. > :20:18.in front of the green. If the wind is up, the other way, sometimes you
:20:19. > :20:28.play five irons into the green. So striky conditions for the opening
:20:29. > :20:34.morning here and with no Scot on the leaderboard, could Russell Knox
:20:35. > :20:38.change that in the afternoon? The answer was yes. Shots like this
:20:39. > :20:45.helping him birdie his opening two holes. Look at this. He says he has
:20:46. > :20:46.been waiting years. Finding things less straight-forward, though,
:20:47. > :20:51.five-time Major champion, Phil less straight-forward, though,
:20:52. > :20:55.Mickelson. While it is fair to say not everybody is finding the
:20:56. > :20:58.blustery conditions offputing, it has so far stopped anybody
:20:59. > :21:02.dominating the leaderboard and with similar weather forecast for
:21:03. > :21:03.tomorrow, that could become a familiar theme here at Castle
:21:04. > :21:08.Stuart. Andy Murray's preparing to face
:21:09. > :21:10.Tomas Berdych in the Wimbledon semifinal tomorrow afternoon,
:21:11. > :21:13.and says he'll have to be at the top of his game if he wants
:21:14. > :21:22.to make Sunday's final. 1.00pm today and already back on the
:21:23. > :21:26.practice court. Well after 8 owe clockpm last night and a fab
:21:27. > :21:31.five-setter against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was being settled by the
:21:32. > :21:35.Scot. COMMENTATOR: Murray. What a return. Tomas Berdych now blocks
:21:36. > :21:40.Andy Murray's path to a third Wimbledon final. A man he knows very
:21:41. > :21:45.well. We have never played on grass before, though, but he has made the
:21:46. > :21:50.final here, and beaten Djokovic and Federer on the grass and he's
:21:51. > :21:56.obviously playing some good entennis this week. I have only seen a little
:21:57. > :22:01.bit of his match in the fourth round against Vesely which he came through
:22:02. > :22:06.in four sets. He is a big guy. Hits the ball hard. I will need to be on
:22:07. > :22:11.my game, for sure. At 30, tomorrow's opponent is a year older than Andy
:22:12. > :22:17.miles per houry. He is the world number 9 but was once ranked fourth.
:22:18. > :22:21.-- Andy Murray. His form against Murray, played
:22:22. > :22:25.four, lost four. He has to be aggressive and go for the shots. He
:22:26. > :22:29.has been waiting for the chance to win a Grand Slam his whole tennis
:22:30. > :22:34.life. When he has a chance like this, he used to be more careful. He
:22:35. > :22:39.didn't go for the shots, he didn't risk it and I think he found that
:22:40. > :22:42.this is not the way to win the big title.
:22:43. > :22:45.For Andy Murray, it is a case of five down, two more to g as he
:22:46. > :22:46.targets another Wimbledon win. -- two more to
:22:47. > :22:51.G Kheredine
:22:52. > :22:52.Idessane joins us now And Kherdine, no love lost
:22:53. > :22:56.between these two, if last year's Australian Open was
:22:57. > :23:04.anything to go by! Yes, it got Tatsy between them in
:23:05. > :23:10.Melbourne last year, even in the stands, there were some verbals from
:23:11. > :23:16.the future Mrs Murray, prompting Kim to wear that famous T-shirt -
:23:17. > :23:21.explicit lyrics. I think there will be more decorum in the royal box.
:23:22. > :23:27.Talk of the royals, the Duchess of Cambridge was here and our
:23:28. > :23:31.wheelchair star Gordon Reid got to meet her and that inspired him to a
:23:32. > :23:34.win today. He is through to the semifinals. He is in doubles action
:23:35. > :23:38.tomorrow in that wheelchair event and be Andy Murray is in action, we
:23:39. > :23:42.are expecting around about 4 owe clockpm. Thank you. And football
:23:43. > :23:44.news: Aberdeen are in action
:23:45. > :23:46.as we speak against Fola Esch of Luxemborg in the second leg
:23:47. > :23:49.of their Europa League match. But Dons are not getting
:23:50. > :23:51.things all their own way. Samir Hadji scoring just before half
:23:52. > :23:54.time to give them a 1-0 Aberdeen still lead 3-2 on aggregate
:23:55. > :24:00.though. And there will be more tennis
:24:01. > :24:05.tomorrow night. Thank you very much. There's nothing unusual
:24:06. > :24:06.about replacement buses But what about replacement trains
:24:07. > :24:10.when there are no buses? That's what's happening this week
:24:11. > :24:12.between two remote villages in the Southern Uplands and,
:24:13. > :24:28.as Willie Johnston reports, Scotland's highest village,
:24:29. > :24:31.Wanlockhead a mile away from its nearest neighbour, Headhill, people
:24:32. > :24:39.travel between them for work and services but if the road is closed
:24:40. > :24:44.for repairs, the detour is 50 miles. Rattling to the rescue, Clyde, a now
:24:45. > :24:46.engaged locomotive which normally takes tourists from one village to
:24:47. > :24:49.the other on summer weekends. It is takes tourists from one village to
:24:50. > :24:54.about a mile-and-a-half in length. When they heard about the road
:24:55. > :25:00.closure, the heritage railways volunteer operators stepped up to
:25:01. > :25:03.the plate. We devised a timetable and recruited some volunteers from
:25:04. > :25:08.the village as well. We have had a lot of passengers in the last couple
:25:09. > :25:12.of days. It's been quite useful getting people that are commuting up
:25:13. > :25:17.between the two villages. The seven daily round trips just the ticket
:25:18. > :25:23.for passengers like Annie Gough I cook the breakfast in a hotel in
:25:24. > :25:27.Ledhills, I need to get back to Wanlockhead to go to work at the Led
:25:28. > :25:31.Mining Museum which is difficult when the road is closed. Heading the
:25:32. > :25:34.other way is Margaret. For when the road is closed. Heading the
:25:35. > :25:40.necessity, going to the doctors and to pick up prescriptions and things
:25:41. > :25:45.like that. It will be used, yes and getting to work. To the museum, at
:25:46. > :25:51.Wanlockhead, also. The weekday service will run only as long as the
:25:52. > :25:55.road closure lasts and then it is back to weekends only. Some might
:25:56. > :25:59.miss it. It gives you more time it play about on trains snoochl oh,
:26:00. > :26:05.gosh, yes. That's the best bit, isn't it?
:26:06. > :26:07.Let's see what we can expect from the weather.
:26:08. > :26:14.Well, the beginning of the working week I thought the weather was going
:26:15. > :26:18.to be changeable T stayed that way. We saw rain and dry weather. That
:26:19. > :26:20.will be the case through the weekend. Here is one of our weather
:26:21. > :26:24.will be the case through the watchers, who sent in this lovely
:26:25. > :26:28.picture. 'S Khiam tour meteorologist. He will be 90 later
:26:29. > :26:31.on this month. Happy birthday. As for as this evening is concerned,
:26:32. > :26:35.fineshine to end the day for south and east but rain pushing in from
:26:36. > :26:40.the Atlantic coming our way tonight. Gathering force across the West. It
:26:41. > :26:43.will become persistent as it extends across the country, heavy bursts
:26:44. > :26:48.anywhere but the main focus of anything heavier will be North
:26:49. > :26:53.Argyll up towards Skye. Temperatures on the mild side around 10-14. A
:26:54. > :26:56.fresher, strong south-westerly wind over the Western Isles and Northern
:26:57. > :26:59.fresher, strong south-westerly wind Isles. A rather wet start early on
:27:00. > :27:03.tomorrow, but quickly improving that. Rain pushes away into the
:27:04. > :27:05.North Sea and cloud breaks up and we'll see brighter, sunny spells
:27:06. > :27:09.coming through. One or two showers developing but the emphasis will be
:27:10. > :27:12.on a lot of dry weather come the afternoon. For the Northern Isles,
:27:13. > :27:16.some cloud but also some bright or sunny spells coming or going. We
:27:17. > :27:20.could see 18 or Orkney up towards Caithness. We will see some cloud
:27:21. > :27:24.lapping into the Atlantic on the westerly breeze towards western
:27:25. > :27:28.coastal areas. More in the sunshine here during the day. 1 in the west.
:27:29. > :27:32.The best of the sunshine in the east and highest temperatures, too,
:27:33. > :27:36.widely reaching 20, even 21. We have had a lot of parents requiring about
:27:37. > :27:40.it. In the Park. Not folks going there. Here is the forecast. A
:27:41. > :27:43.general look. Dry warm and sunny to. Rain moving in tomorrow night. Rain
:27:44. > :27:48.for a time on Saturday. Sunday showers but warm and winds will be
:27:49. > :27:52.light. So a fine end to the day for Friday. Good spells of sunshine but
:27:53. > :27:56.here is the weekend weather. This Atlantic low moves in tomorrow night
:27:57. > :27:59.bringing outbreaks of rain and then we see this feature coming up into
:28:00. > :28:02.the south, some sharp showers developing Saturday night. So it
:28:03. > :28:08.the south, some sharp showers will wet across the northern half of
:28:09. > :28:12.the country, that rain becoming confined to the far north-west where
:28:13. > :28:16.it gets stuck. Brightening up else where. That's your forecast.
