The headlines on Reporting Scotland this Monday lunchtime: | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
An Australian family living in the Highlands could face | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
And a bid at Holyrood to scrap the Offensive | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
An Australian family living in Dingwall face deportation | :00:28. | :00:39. | |
from tonight despite a high profile campaign aimed | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
Kathryn Brain arrived with her husband and young son | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
on a student visa five years ago, but since finishing her studies, | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Mrs Brain has been unable to find a job that would allow | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
It was the Brain family's dream to live in Scotland, and being here has | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
exceeded expectation. Seven-year-old Lachlan knows nothing else, but the | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
scheme that brought them here has come to an end. They have been | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
fighting to stay but today is the end of the line. Unless Kathryn gets | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
a job offer. We are still hopeful common sense will prevail and the UK | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Government will see that they made a promise to us six years ago that | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
these visas would be available, and encouraged us to sell our house, | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
invest our lives here on a multi-year programme. And our | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
livelihood as well. Our livelihood. I gave up ?40,000 your job to come | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
here. So what happened? In 2010 the family were granted at visa with the | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
promise of staying here for two years after study. In March 2011 | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
this was scrapped. The family arrived here three months later. It | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
was only the following year they arrived here three months later. It | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
realised the post study work Visa was to be withdrawn. It ended a | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
month later. The family feel the British Government is going back on | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
its promise. They do not want to go back to Australia. Yes, we love | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Australia and we have friends and relatives back there. But this is | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
where we belong, and this is all Lachlan knows as well. He has grown | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
up your and he does not remember Australia at all. So we do really | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
feel belonging to this place. The Home Office see all Visa | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
applications are considered on their merits, and applicants must meet | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
requirements of immigration rules. The value is to keep fighting. Ten | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
years of planning and struggling and saving and looking at visa options, | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
going through a house fire. Both of our mothers dying of cancer in that | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
period and telling us, do not try with your dreams still inside of | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
you. It took us ten years to get there. We do not do giving up. The | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
Brains say they do not know what will happen at midnight, but | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
tomorrow they are expected to start making arrangements to leave. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
A Labour MSP has officially lodged proposals to scrap | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act. | :03:04. | :03:04. | |
James Kelly says the law, which was introduced in 2012, | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
had damaged trust between police and football fans. | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
When the law came in in 2012, the Scottish Government said it was | :03:11. | :03:25. | |
needed to tackle unacceptable behaviour like this. Historically | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
linked to football, especially in the West of Scotland. It has always | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
been controversial, prompting protests from supporters. Now this | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Labour MSP is launching a consultation on scrapping the Act. | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
The Act is unjust and unfair. It criminalises football fans, has | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
created division between fans and police. And it has been widely | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
criticised by judges. I think something had to be put in place. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Legislation is now in place that shows we have an issue and we will | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
deal with it. If it is not the right legislation, let's look at that, but | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
at the moment I think it gives the police the powers they need to take | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
through any problems that arise that happen within the football arena. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
The Scottish Government says its law is making things better. It claims | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
80% of Scots support the legislation. The catalyst for this, | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
if you remember, was an Old Firm game, and prior to that game it did | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
seem this sort of behaviour was seen as acceptable from people outside | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Scotland, to people in Scotland, and I think for the first time in a long | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
they will be having these Old games on a regular basis again, it is | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
certainly not the time to be scrapping the Bell and certainly not | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
if we cannot see what we will replace it with. All four opposition | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
parties at Holyrood have pledged to repeal the law so there could now be | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
moved in Parliament for kicking the act into long grass. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
A dispute between ScotRail and the RMT union over driver-only | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
The train operator believes some actions by the union | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
contravene legislation that governs industrial action. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
The RMT says it will respond once it's examined | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
Further strikes are planned later this month over plans | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
An independent investigation is to be carried out | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
after Police Scotland breached guidelines on accessing | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
data in a row linked to journalists' sources. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
Durham Constabulary has been asked to look into the circumstances | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
after Police Scotland admitted it fell below the required standards. | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
The five breaches were linked to the investigation into the murder | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
of Emma Caldwell, who was killed in 2005. | :05:27. | :05:37. | |
They were the forerunners of modern photography. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Camera obscura - the projection of images into a dark room | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
from a pin hole or glass lens - date back at least 2000 years. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
One in Dumfries is thought to be the oldest in continuous operation | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
As this rope, if you look up words, you will see that the cover to the | :05:52. | :06:09. | |
camera obscura opens... 180 years old, still in perfect working order. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
The mechanism, original. The table I use for focusing, so as I bring it | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
up words, to make the picture come clear... The lens project on live | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
picture of Dumfries, people on their daily business, moving cars and | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
bridges, familiar landmarks from an unfamiliar angle. The old bridge | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
across here, running behind it. As I show the picture, people are still | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
amazed it is in colour. That is a question we get at -- a lot. The -- | :06:42. | :06:55. | |
Dumfries is in colour. Formally a corn mill, it was bought by the | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
astronomical Society and turned into an observatory, though not quite as | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
quickly as the founding fathers hoped. They come across this guy in | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
1835 and they really hoped to have the instrument installed in time to | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
view it. But unfortunately due to the time it took to convert the | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
building and commission the instruments, they were not prepared | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
quite intentionally did not see it. The Observatory opened eventually on | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
the 1st of August 18 36. Too late for Healy 's Comet, but that did not | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
stop people flocking here to pay sixpence at a time to see unique | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
moving colour images of Dumfries. Scotland's first camera obscura was | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
in Edinburgh, but it change location, so this is the longest | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
continuous operation in this country, and it is believed, in the | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
world. Modern life viewed through ancient technology. Big Brother's | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
been around longer than you thought. Thank you very much. Good afternoon | :07:47. | :07:58. | |
to you. The first day of August so far has provided us with a lot of | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
drives bright weather and some spells of sunshine and there will be | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
very little in terms of change this afternoon. Just a scattering of | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
showers, primarily across the North. One or two heavy showers across | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Aberdeen shower this afternoon. And a fairly cloudy prospect in Shetland | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
with perhaps very late and Apache outbreaks of rain. It surely feel | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
across the northern Isles and Caithness, generally with fresh | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
westerly winds -- and Apache Caithness, generally with fresh | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
outbreaks of rain. Temperatures 17 to 19 Celsius, peaking around 20 | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
degrees for central and southern parts and a pleasant feel in bright | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
or sunny spells. This evening, the showers will tend to fade. A few | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
hanging on across the Northern Isles. A dry night will follow for | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
most of us with clear shelves. Temperatures include rural areas | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
falling to four or five Celsius, quite chilly. But for the most part | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
holding up around eight or 10 Celsius with light winds. Tomorrow, | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
a ridge of high pressure will maintain mostly dry and settled | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
conditions for a good part of the day, although this weather front | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
will gradually make inroads into the south-west later. A dry and bright | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
start, plenty of sunshine. Very gradually as we go through the day | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
we will see cloud increasing from the south-west, and that will be | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
followed by outbreaks of rain later in the day. Temperatures tomorrow | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
will peak around 20, is not 21 Celsius. That is your forecast. | :09:25. | :09:25. | |
Thank you very much. | :09:26. | :09:28. |
