:01:38. > :01:41.Our social affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson has
:01:42. > :01:56.We knew she was under investigation. It was in March last year that she
:01:57. > :01:59.appeared before the Nursing and Midwifery Council to decide if she
:02:00. > :02:03.could continue to practise as a nurse while other investigations
:02:04. > :02:10.went on. They were into allegations that she was unwell when she began
:02:11. > :02:15.her journey back to the UK, from Sierra Leone in Africa, and obscured
:02:16. > :02:19.her symptoms. Remember she was in Sierra Leone treating patients who
:02:20. > :02:25.were suffering from the Ebola virus epidemic out there. When she
:02:26. > :02:28.returned home in December of 2014, she quickly became unwell, she was
:02:29. > :02:32.treated at the Royal Free Hospital she quickly became unwell, she was
:02:33. > :02:37.in London in specialist isolation conditions and although she was
:02:38. > :02:41.declared free of the virus, she subsequently had a relapse, although
:02:42. > :02:46.she is now well, we understand. What exactly are the charged that she is
:02:47. > :02:50.facing? We, public health officials were monitoring everybody coming
:02:51. > :02:55.back into the UK, into Heathrow Airport from an Ebola zone, in 2014
:02:56. > :02:59.and 15. It is alleged that Pauline Cafferkey knew she had a raised
:03:00. > :03:04.temperature. That is one of the signs of the virus, when she came
:03:05. > :03:08.back into the UK and she took Paracetamol to depress the
:03:09. > :03:14.temperature. The NMC has drafted charges reflecting this, but it says
:03:15. > :03:18.it has received new evidence from Ms Cafferkey which it is considering.
:03:19. > :03:24.They have apologised to her, today they put briefly the charges she is
:03:25. > :03:28.facing on their website, in advance of a disciplinary panel next month.
:03:29. > :03:33.They have taken them down, they have apologised. They will be examining
:03:34. > :03:37.her fitness to practise as a nurse, in a statement, she said this
:03:38. > :03:41.evening that she hoped that after the case has been examined by the
:03:42. > :03:43.panel, the matter will finally be at an end. Thank you.
:03:44. > :03:48.Most of us used to live a home owned by the council,

:03:59. > :04:05.Here's our local government correspondent Jamie McIvor.
:04:06. > :04:14.Thank you. David and Eileen have moved into a brand-new council
:04:15. > :04:18.house. Eileen has been house bound since she had an accident. The new
:04:19. > :04:24.house is making a big difference to them The house for start, they have
:04:25. > :04:30.wider doors which helps... Me getting about in my wheelchair. And
:04:31. > :04:36.the bathroom is a massive size, there is no problem getting in. The
:04:37. > :04:41.15 floor in the last tower block. Their old home was at the top of a
:04:42. > :04:48.tower block. The once in is where a tower block used to stand. I seen it
:04:49. > :04:53.getting exploded as well. The tower dominated this part of
:04:54. > :04:58.Motherwell for nearly 50 years. Tower blocks and housing schemes
:04:59. > :05:03.defined Scotland's urban landscape. The plan in North Lanarkshire is
:05:04. > :05:06.very different. The plan isn't for massive new housing estates, instead
:05:07. > :05:12.the council is talking about maybe building ten new houses in one place
:05:13. > :05:17.and 15 somewhere else, all adding to existing communities. It is
:05:18. > :05:23.important the council does not build big estates with these new houses.
:05:24. > :05:29.They should be small groups of house, 15-20. Campaigner says the
:05:30. > :05:33.investment is welcome but 12,000 are still on the waiting list. And
:05:34. > :05:38.across Scotland it is more than ten times that number. There is 150,000
:05:39. > :05:44.people on waiting litss for a home in Scotland. To put that in
:05:45. > :05:50.perspective, that is like filling Hampden three times over. We know
:05:51. > :05:52.that last year there was about 35,000 people made homeless
:05:53. > :05:57.application, in Scotland, so there is a real housing crisis in
:05:58. > :06:01.Scotland. Nationally the Scottish Government wants 50,000 affordable
:06:02. > :06:06.homes built over the lifetime of this Parliament. 35,000 of them for
:06:07. > :06:10.rent by councils or housing association, the right to buy
:06:11. > :06:14.council houses was established recently so council houses now stay
:06:15. > :06:19.council houses. Joe knows what it is like to be in a housing waiting
:06:20. > :06:27.list. He stayed with friends for more than a year. Sofa to sofa with
:06:28. > :06:33.bag, my clothes in bags, just really couldn't really get on with my life
:06:34. > :06:37.during that kind of year-and-a-half. Back in Motherwell, the Irvines are
:06:38. > :06:40.enjoying their new home and while today's announcement is significant,
:06:41. > :06:44.nationally, council housing will never be as important again as it
:06:45. > :06:50.once was. This is all about how councils and others can help solve
:06:51. > :06:53.BBC Scotland has learnt that the Chief Executive
:06:54. > :06:55.of Aberdeen City Council excluded herself from an investigation

:07:04. > :07:05.Our reporter Kevin Keane is at the council's headquarters now.
:07:06. > :07:20.Well, it is very surprising, and many people are surprised by it,
:07:21. > :07:25.because the impression that has been given and certainly some people have
:07:26. > :07:29.been stating is that this secret report covers senior managers, right
:07:30. > :07:32.up to the very top, but not very long ago we managed to get from the
:07:33. > :07:37.council the terms of reference set out by the chief executive, and it
:07:38. > :07:42.was from the crematorium manager, the person who was sacked, up to the
:07:43. > :07:46.director, the under fire director who is on annual leave. It did not
:07:47. > :07:52.include the chief executive herself, or any of her predecessors, now the
:07:53. > :07:55.explanation for that is that the chief executive was not specifically
:07:56. > :07:59.criticised in previous reports about this issue and that is why she was
:08:00. > :08:03.excluded but of course, remember, an external person has been brought in
:08:04. > :08:08.to carry out this review and the presumption by many is that was
:08:09. > :08:12.because that would enable them to investigate all levels of managers.
:08:13. > :08:17.One councillor has said this evening that it is wrong that the most
:08:18. > :08:22.senior manager who sets the culture of the organisation has been
:08:23. > :08:25.excluded, and the father, we heard from earlier this week, stated that
:08:26. > :08:29.it is surprising because it was meant to be an open and transparent
:08:30. > :08:34.investigation looking at everything. Thank you.

:09:45. > :09:51.employment, or full-time employment at the time. Today's report says in

:12:09. > :12:16.investigation. His job, of course, to find out how the project went so
:12:17. > :12:21.badly wrong. You will recall those months of structure, the dug up

:12:27. > :12:31.on for years in fact. His job to find out why it ended up costing

:14:07. > :14:11.400 metres #4urdles final. It is her first Olympic final. Here are two
:14:12. > :14:16.quay questions, can she win, get a medal and the second one, how is she
:14:17. > :14:22.feeling right now? To get some insight into that, a short time ago
:14:23. > :14:27.I spoke to the former Scotland and British 400 metre runner Alison
:14:28. > :14:32.Curbishley. I never had a final, but yes, without doubt, she hasn't made
:14:33. > :14:36.it easy for herself, she had to go through as a fastest loser, no
:14:37. > :14:40.athlete wants to do that, her lane draw isn't as good as she would have
:14:41. > :14:46.hoped. But she is in the final, she has a lane. Lane one, it will be
:14:47. > :14:51.tough, but she has had so much confidence that she has got to be
:14:52. > :14:55.able to harness, she has beaten a lot of these girls not necessarily
:14:56. > :15:00.got the quickest time lining up but she has got the chance. Do you think
:15:01. > :15:04.she has a realistic chance? You talk about the fact she has done it in
:15:05. > :15:08.Diamond Leagues but this is the Olympics? She is up against a
:15:09. > :15:14.reigning World Champion, who is looking close back to her best,
:15:15. > :15:17.Mohammed from America is outside, the two lanes outside her, the
:15:18. > :15:23.favourite. A good second and a bit ahead of everyone. It's the minor
:15:24. > :15:27.medals. As long as she can nail her start, and her stride pattern from
:15:28. > :15:33.lane one there is a bronze there for her. She did that in the semi, we
:15:34. > :15:38.have seen her stuttering to the ends n the semi it was almost perfect.
:15:39. > :15:43.Technically, yes, the only questions were her coming off the barrier and
:15:44. > :15:46.started -- starting to fade. An adrenaline surge from being in the
:15:47. > :15:50.final, the backing of Malcolm ao told in who has been there and done

:16:32. > :16:34.who is Steacy Lewis of the USA. So, a traffic day for Scottish
:16:35. > :16:39.golfer, Catroina Matthew there. Let's hope that sets the tone for
:16:40. > :16:43.this evening, a massive night lies ahead for Eildh Doyle. She goes in
:16:44. > :16:45.her first Olympic final. Fingers crossed for her. Fingers crossed
:16:46. > :16:51.indeed. Thank you. It's 50 years today since
:16:52. > :16:53.the Tay Road Bridge opened. At the time it was the longest
:16:54. > :16:56.crossing of its kind in the UK. The bridge brought huge benefits
:16:57. > :16:59.to the people of Dundee and Fife, but as Andrew Anderson reports,
:17:00. > :17:15.for some that first day - it's 50 and the flags are flying
:17:16. > :17:18.once again, as it did when the Tay Road Bridge bridge opened. The Queen
:17:19. > :17:22.Mother was driven over the UK's longest road bridge. Nearly 1.5
:17:23. > :17:27.miles connecting Dundee and the north of Fife. The bridge was and
:17:28. > :17:32.remains vital to those communities It provides access to other
:17:33. > :17:38.infrastructure, such as hospitals. Incredibly important and we carry
:17:39. > :17:46.2,000 vehicles a day. To be able to create that link it's marvellous.
:17:47. > :17:51.The coming of the bridge meant the passion of the Fifees, the ferries
:17:52. > :17:56.that for decades, crossed the Tay. Margaret wliegt's father had been a
:17:57. > :17:58.ferry captain. On the day the bridge opened, they watched from here as
:17:59. > :18:03.the last ferry sailed. My dad was opened, they watched from here as
:18:04. > :18:06.able to throw the last rope on to the boat before it took off, yes. It
:18:07. > :18:10.must have been a really poignant moment. It must have been, yes.
:18:11. > :18:14.Building this bridge last tleed years, with the labours of hundreds
:18:15. > :18:21.of men. -- lasted three years. It took their sweat as well as blood
:18:22. > :18:25.and tears. This modest memorial on the Fife side commemorates the five
:18:26. > :18:31.men who died during the building of the bridge. Three were killed in one
:18:32. > :18:36.accident in 1965. This man, John McQueen had swapped his shift with
:18:37. > :18:41.another work. Better Smith's wife was ill. He had gone home to be with
:18:42. > :18:46.her. He was killed when it should have been me. It must have been a
:18:47. > :18:50.shock. It brings the hair up on the back of nigh neck, yet. It really
:18:51. > :18:53.does. I think about them every November. The bridge now carries
:18:54. > :18:59.nearly five times the traffic it did when it opened. 9 million vehicles a
:19:00. > :19:08.year. When bridges are designed they typically of a design life of what
:19:09. > :19:15.engineers call, 120 years we are only 50 into it. With maintenance
:19:16. > :19:20.and inspection, there is no reason why it can't go on forever. We could
:19:21. > :19:22.be back here in another 50 years. And now the home-based sporting news
:19:23. > :19:24.now. With Celtic on the verge of
:19:25. > :19:27.qualifying for the Champions League, their manager Brendan Rodgers
:19:28. > :19:28.admits his team is far However, Brendan Rodgers
:19:29. > :19:31.is praising their character and ability after beating
:19:32. > :19:35.Hapoel Beer Sheva of Israel 5-2 in the first leg of their
:19:36. > :19:48.final qualifying tie. The message from the Celtic fans was
:19:49. > :19:52.clear and the team, it appears, took it to heart. Under the guidance of
:19:53. > :19:56.Brendan Rodgers, Celtic looked like a team keen to make amends for two
:19:57. > :20:00.years without Champions' League football. By half-time, following a
:20:01. > :20:04.polished and at times scintillating display, they had one foot in the
:20:05. > :20:10.group stage. Only for a familiar failing to rear
:20:11. > :20:14.its head. We conceded two poor goals. A little bit of inexperience.
:20:15. > :20:18.Then there is a question asked of you - there will be periods that
:20:19. > :20:21.come under pressure. It is having the checkpoints in place it stay
:20:22. > :20:24.calm, get control of the game and look to shift the momentum again.
:20:25. > :20:28.Like I say, they are nowhere near the finished article yet in terms of
:20:29. > :20:31.where I want them to be but I think they look a really exciting team,
:20:32. > :20:37.full of character. Both those attributes were to the foreas Celtic
:20:38. > :20:43.recovered their composure. Taking command of the tie once more,
:20:44. > :20:48.perhaps an indication that the new manager has instilled a new mind
:20:49. > :20:53.set. It is up here the mentality that sometimes gets you here. You
:20:54. > :21:00.can have the tactical ability, we can talk about it all day but if you
:21:01. > :21:03.can get the mind right perform at this level under intense pressure,
:21:04. > :21:07.that's what matters. That's the difference between the top players
:21:08. > :21:10.and the aevenl players. Rodgers and his players won't believe the hype
:21:11. > :21:11.just yet but this was a big step towards mixing once more with
:21:12. > :21:18.Europe's elite. The man at the top of
:21:19. > :21:20.Scottish Rugby Union says Gregor Townsend as the next national
:21:21. > :21:24.team coach, the man who lead Glasgow Warriors to the Pro12 league
:21:25. > :21:27.title may have been tempted The SRU's chief executive also told
:21:28. > :21:38.us he knows who he wants to take Here are the two main characters in
:21:39. > :21:42.this story so star. Scotland head coach, Vern Cotter and the man who
:21:43. > :21:46.will replace him, Glasgow Warriors head coach, Gregor Townsend. As we
:21:47. > :21:50.understand why, we need to introduce a third man, their boss. He says
:21:51. > :21:55.Townsend is being promoted because otherwise, he might be lost to
:21:56. > :21:59.Scottish rugby. I think he felt it was probably in his interest to get
:22:00. > :22:02.experience elsewhere, rather than stay at Glasgow for what would have
:22:03. > :22:07.been six or seven years. His view was, if it is not now, I think I
:22:08. > :22:11.want to move on and we expected that and there's tonnes of interest. Our
:22:12. > :22:17.view was he was ready. Was Cotter ready to leave? And did he have any
:22:18. > :22:22.say in the matter? We never had that conversation. It was a case of this
:22:23. > :22:27.is what Scotland needed. We took the view and did our due diligence that
:22:28. > :22:30.this was the right time. We had a coach that was ready. Probably the
:22:31. > :22:33.most outstanding coach of his generation and this was the right
:22:34. > :22:38.time for us to make that move. With Townsend moving, who'll move into
:22:39. > :22:42.his job at the Pro 12 team Glasgow Warriors? We have movers on the
:22:43. > :22:45.market and are confident to be able to announce a highly successful
:22:46. > :22:52.coach. You know this person? We do. And that person is... Sorry, at the
:22:53. > :23:01.moment I don't know. As soon as I do know, I'll tell you.
:23:02. > :23:04.Just a few days after becoming the first player to defend
:23:05. > :23:06.an Olympic Mens Singles title, Andy Murray cruised
:23:07. > :23:08.through his first round match at the Cincinatti Masters.
:23:09. > :23:10.Murray beat Juan Monaco in straight sets, 6-3,
:23:11. > :23:14.6-2 as he began preparations for the US Open.
:23:15. > :23:23.He plays South Africa's Kevin Anderson in the next round.
:23:24. > :23:26.Some of the best-known comedians in the country started their careers
:23:27. > :23:29.Robin Williams, Steve Coogan and John Cleese have
:23:30. > :23:33.And despite being regarded as one of the toughest places to play,
:23:34. > :23:35.there's no shortage of volunteers this year.
:23:36. > :23:37.Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean found a vantage point
:23:38. > :23:39.above the Royal Mile to talk to two Scottish comedians
:23:40. > :23:49.Hello. We are up here. We are avoiding everything that is
:23:50. > :23:53.happening. Escaping the Mele that is the Fringe and the Royal Mile at
:23:54. > :23:58.this time where thousands of shows are being sold and marketed. Almost
:23:59. > :24:04.one-third of them at the Fringe are comedy shows, and two belong to
:24:05. > :24:09.Susan Calman Daniel. Tell us what the Fringe means to you. You started
:24:10. > :24:13.here, this is where it began? Yes, I started when I was 16, I think. I
:24:14. > :24:19.did some weird awful comedy course, which if you want to get into
:24:20. > :24:23.stand-up don't ever do. First years, I sold fliers up and down here. Did
:24:24. > :24:29.you have big audiences? Yes it worked I had a lunch time show h 12.
:24:30. > :24:32.45. We got people in their lunch breaks and harassed them until they
:24:33. > :24:38.came to the show. They enjoyed it. When did you first start coming? My
:24:39. > :24:42.tenth year, my first anniversary, like Daniel I started off fliering
:24:43. > :24:47.in the Royal Mile. Unlike Daniel no-one came to my first show for a
:24:48. > :24:53.whole month. It was terrible. Things have got better. I remember coming
:24:54. > :24:57.here in the '80s when my sister was a student and thinking it was the
:24:58. > :25:00.most exciting place in the world to. Perform here I think it is the most
:25:01. > :25:05.amazing thing possible as a comedian, it is tough. Tough, the
:25:06. > :25:10.comedy circuit is tough but you are putting yourself through it. It
:25:11. > :25:15.makes you a better comedian. If you have a bad gig, you don't have time
:25:16. > :25:19.to worry about it, you have to get back on stage the next night. You
:25:20. > :25:23.have to keep going throughout illness and stress. If you are a
:25:24. > :25:27.comedian here, it makes you better for the future I think doing one
:25:28. > :25:32.season here is the equivalent as two years on the circuit. You don't have
:25:33. > :25:35.someone opening for you or on after you. You have to keep their
:25:36. > :25:39.attention from 15 minutes to an hour. It is all on you, it is where
:25:40. > :25:44.you develop a personality on stage. Well thank you very much. Good luck
:25:45. > :25:46.with the best of the Fringe run. I guess we better head back down there
:25:47. > :25:49.again. That's Pauline McClean there. Now
:25:50. > :25:53.let's get the weather from Christopher.
:25:54. > :25:57.Good evening, a another lovely day for many parts of the country, but
:25:58. > :26:01.there is comang afoot. Low pressure on the way in through the next few
:26:02. > :26:04.days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday bringing bands on rain, heavy
:26:05. > :26:09.showers and some strengthening winds as well. That's what is to come.
:26:10. > :26:13.This is what has been. If we just get rid of the demroeb, you can see
:26:14. > :26:18.it was pretty decent weather across the south-west. Blue skies there in
:26:19. > :26:23.South Ayrshire, early 20s, 22, 23. But as we head through the course of
:26:24. > :26:28.the evening, we will see some low cloud and misreforming across the
:26:29. > :26:34.north-east. And indeed you can see on the chart there. It should be a
:26:35. > :26:38.dry night. Tomorrow, it starts dry, some
:26:39. > :26:41.sunshine further north that you are, looking south-west, the cloud
:26:42. > :26:47.building and rain arrives. That's that low pressure system we just
:26:48. > :26:50.saw. If we pull out we can see it pushing its way across Ireland,
:26:51. > :26:53.bricking this band of rain in across the south-west and the rain moving
:26:54. > :26:59.north, north-eastwards through the day. Turning wet through the central
:27:00. > :27:03.belt by early afternoon, and certainly by mid-afternoon across
:27:04. > :27:08.the south, the winds heavy and persistent. Winds fresher around the
:27:09. > :27:14.coast from the east to south-east. Dundee, Aberdeen still dry. Fairly
:27:15. > :27:18.cloudy. Towards Inverness and north-west sunshine in store andself
:27:19. > :27:24.tours could still be up to 22. Dry for Orkney and shelt land. Cloud and
:27:25. > :27:27.brightness. For the rest of the evening the wet weather working
:27:28. > :27:30.northwards reaching most parts of the mainland and heavy showers
:27:31. > :27:34.following. Certainly that's the weekend's weather really. Heavy rain
:27:35. > :27:40.with us across Orkney and Shetland, behind it for a time in the
:27:41. > :27:44.mainland. Some showers. Some thunder in the mix, difficult to pinpoint
:27:45. > :27:49.where they will be but cater for one or two heavy downpours at time. If
:27:50. > :27:51.you get the sunshine it'll be humid, certainly not a write-off but cater
:27:52. > :28:08.for one or two heavy Nurse Pauline Cafferty has been
:28:09. > :28:13.accused of concealing that she had a high temperature when coming back
:28:14. > :28:14.from Sierra Leone. That's it from us until the 10.00
