:00:00. > :00:00.A 32-year-old man has admitted murdering a Glasgow shopkeeper
:00:00. > :00:09.Tanveer Ahmed drove from Bradford to Glasgow to kill Asad Shah
:00:10. > :00:11.at his shop in the Shawlands area of the city.
:00:12. > :00:29.Aileen Clarke was at the High Court in Glasgow.
:00:30. > :00:36.Asad Shah, a friendly local shopkeeper, much loved by all of the
:00:37. > :00:42.community he served in Glasgow. In person, he was chatty and that beat.
:00:43. > :00:48.He found an outlet on social media, posting his opinions on religion and
:00:49. > :00:55.humanity. Tanveer Ahmed became aware of these postings and believed Asad
:00:56. > :01:04.Shah was disrespecting the Prophet Muhammad. The judge was shown CCTV
:01:05. > :01:14.footage taken from a camera behind the counter of the shop on the night
:01:15. > :01:18.Asad Shah was attacked. Tanveer Ahmed pulls out a knife and comes
:01:19. > :01:23.around to Asad Shah 's side of the counter and start stabbing him
:01:24. > :01:31.repeatedly. More CCTV footage on the road shows Asad Shah being stabbed,
:01:32. > :01:35.punched, way beyond the point he was able to do anything to defend
:01:36. > :01:39.himself. There was a huge public outpouring of shock and sympathy in
:01:40. > :01:47.Glasgow in the days following the murder. He was very friendly and
:01:48. > :01:52.every morning we shook hands and said good day, have a nice day. Just
:01:53. > :02:03.a pleasant, lovely lad. Very sad. Everybody is very sad. I was very
:02:04. > :02:08.upset. A vigil was quickly organised and very well attended. But that
:02:09. > :02:14.grief all the more acute for Asad Shah 's wife and family, left
:02:15. > :02:24.devastated, shaken and scared. It has split the family apart since the
:02:25. > :02:29.incident. Some members of the family have left Scotland or are in the
:02:30. > :02:34.process of leaving. When the police arrived that night, Asad Shah was
:02:35. > :02:39.dying on the pavement. Despite the efforts of a doctor and nurse who
:02:40. > :02:44.came across the scene. Tanveer Ahmed was praying in a bus stop, waiting
:02:45. > :02:50.for the police, even showing them where his knife was lying. He was
:02:51. > :02:51.motivated by his own religious beliefs but that is not an excuse to
:02:52. > :02:59.conduct the actions that he has. beliefs but that is not an excuse to
:03:00. > :03:02.sentiment echoed by the judge who said Tanveer Ahmed was facing a
:03:03. > :03:13.lengthy prison sentence for this shocking crime. The shop stays
:03:14. > :03:14.tightly shuttered. His family cannot face the prospect of running it
:03:15. > :03:16.without him. The killer of Asad Shah
:03:17. > :03:18.hasn't shown any remorse. The court heard that Tanveer Ahmed
:03:19. > :03:20.set out purposefully to carry out the murder,
:03:21. > :03:23.driving from his home in England. Andrew Kerr reports now
:03:24. > :03:25.on what might have motivated him. His report contains comments that
:03:26. > :03:39.you might find upsetting. The city of Bradford and West
:03:40. > :03:43.Yorkshire, Muslims make up a quarter of the population. This was home for
:03:44. > :03:49.Tanveer Ahmed and where he first heard about Asad Shah. He had moved
:03:50. > :03:53.here from Pakistan in 2001 and lived with his wife and family. There was
:03:54. > :03:59.no hint of his capacity for violence. Preceding the act of the
:04:00. > :04:00.crime, there was a calmness but the act itself was four minutes of
:04:01. > :04:05.extreme violence, the likes of which act itself was four minutes of
:04:06. > :04:07.we have not seen before. This is a unique event in terms of where it
:04:08. > :04:12.has happened and why it has happened. So why did the religious
:04:13. > :04:17.musing of say Glasgow newsagent prompt this crime? Tanveer Ahmed has
:04:18. > :04:23.been clear in this Court statement from April. He said Asad Shah
:04:24. > :04:36.disrespected the mizzen will grow messenger of Islam, the Prophet
:04:37. > :04:41.Muhammad. Tanveer Ahmed worked as a taxi driver. He set off before the
:04:42. > :04:47.Easter weekend, his destination, Glasgow South side. After arriving
:04:48. > :04:51.here, Tanveer Ahmed stabbed Asad Shah in the shop. The punishment for
:04:52. > :04:58.what he saw as blasphemy. He made no attempt to escape and was detained
:04:59. > :05:04.by police at the scene. His Volkswagen remained abandoned in the
:05:05. > :05:07.street. Tanveer Ahmed 's hardline views to have some mainstream
:05:08. > :05:11.support in his home country of Pakistan, which has some of the
:05:12. > :05:20.strictest -- strictest blasphemy laws in the world. The BBC spoke to
:05:21. > :05:24.Tanveer Ahmed 's brother in Pakistan, who did not denounce his
:05:25. > :05:30.brother 's actions. Some viewers may find his remarks offensive.
:05:31. > :05:35.TRANSLATION: Are Prophet is the last prophet.
:05:36. > :05:40.Asad Shah negated that by telling lies to everyone in a very wrong
:05:41. > :05:45.way. There was no other way to stop him until his tongue was made
:05:46. > :05:57.silent. Asad Shah was part of a minority
:05:58. > :06:00.sect that has faced persecution. But it was his videos posted online
:06:01. > :06:10.that made him a target for Tanveer Ahmed. If somebody says I am God,
:06:11. > :06:17.you do not go and kill fat person on that ground, this extreme thinking
:06:18. > :06:22.has caused this murder. Asad Shah was confronted with extreme thinking
:06:23. > :06:23.and extreme violence. One mad when simply not tolerate the views of
:06:24. > :06:27.another. -- one man. Earlier tonight, I spoke
:06:28. > :06:29.to Shaima Khalil, the BBC's I asked her to explain the specific
:06:30. > :06:43.background to this case. To understand what inspired Tanveer
:06:44. > :06:46.Ahmed to do what he did, we have to talk about a man called Mumtaz Qadri
:06:47. > :06:53.in Pakistan. This is the man who has become the symbol of the kind of
:06:54. > :06:57.violence that the issue of trust me inspires and provoke. This is a man
:06:58. > :07:00.who killed the governor of Punjab province five years ago because he
:07:01. > :07:07.spoke out about -- against the blasphemy law. He was imprisoned for
:07:08. > :07:10.five years and then hanged. But to many of his borders, they still
:07:11. > :07:16.think of him as a hero, the man who defended the religion and the
:07:17. > :07:18.profit. It is not just Pakistan where he enjoys support. He also
:07:19. > :07:25.profit. It is not just Pakistan enjoys supporting the UK. The
:07:26. > :07:29.religious leader of a mosque in Glasgow expressed regret at his
:07:30. > :07:34.execution. Tanveer Ahmed was quite inspired by him. We spoke to Mumtaz
:07:35. > :07:38.Qadri 's brother who said that Tanveer Ahmed was in close contact
:07:39. > :07:41.with Mumtaz Qadri when he was in jail and he sent him messages and he
:07:42. > :07:46.even had a dream about him, saying that Mumtaz Qadri was chosen for a
:07:47. > :07:53.sitting duty. According to Mumtaz Qadri 's brother, Tanveer Ahmed was
:07:54. > :07:58.very much inspired by what Mumtaz Qadri did and subsequently went
:07:59. > :08:07.ahead to Glasgow and killed Asad Shah.
:08:08. > :08:10.Investigations are continuing into a fatal crash in Argyll
:08:11. > :08:12.yesterday, in which two young children died.

:08:16. > :08:27.It was here at Loch nan Druimnean that the tragedy occurred at around
:08:28. > :08:32.4pm yesterday afternoon. A car skidded off the road and into the
:08:33. > :08:37.water. A 36-year-old woman managed to free herself. She was treated in
:08:38. > :08:41.hospital and later released but two toddlers remained trapped within the
:08:42. > :08:46.vehicle. Eyewitnesses who were on the scene shortly afterwards said
:08:47. > :08:48.they could see no sign of the submerged car and a full-scale
:08:49. > :08:53.emergency operation was then launched. We just noticed a lot of
:08:54. > :08:55.emergency vehicles going up the hill and an hour or so later on, the
:08:56. > :09:02.helicopter turned up, did not seem and an hour or so later on, the
:09:03. > :09:11.to stay long. And then the road was blocked. The emergency services
:09:12. > :09:16.recover the car in the early hours of this morning but unfortunately,
:09:17. > :09:20.the two children were dead. Local people say this stretch of road is
:09:21. > :09:23.notoriously dangerous and there have been several accidents here in the
:09:24. > :09:29.past. Yesterday's events have stand this village community whose
:09:30. > :09:36.population numbers less than 200. This afternoon, police named the two
:09:37. > :09:40.children as Seth and Leia McCorrisken. They issued a plea to
:09:41. > :09:43.anyone who may have witnessed the events surrounding the accident to

:11:53. > :11:59.moment are what we will see tomorrow morning. Residual rain affecting
:12:00. > :12:04.many areas initially. The winds will start to freshen as we head through

:12:34. > :12:39.We will lose the rain. Good news for Andy Murray. It should be dry and

:13:01. > :13:06.It is this area of low pressure that will bring us our weather this
