:00:00. > :00:10.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
:00:11. > :00:11.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland, Labour's leadership contenders
:00:12. > :00:14.Both are here for their party's hustings.
:00:15. > :00:16.But strains are already showing between the party south
:00:17. > :00:20.Why people in Glasgow's Govanhill are resorting to stealing
:00:21. > :00:31.from charity clothing containers and hunting in bins for food.
:00:32. > :00:43.Some don't have money for food for baby. Only husband go working. They
:00:44. > :00:45.need the money to buy everything for the child.
:00:46. > :00:49.Our correspondent has another special report.
:00:50. > :00:53.An unlikely political scandal - so-called "Legogate".
:00:54. > :00:55.We'll explain the row over a councillor, a conference
:00:56. > :00:58.And Celtic find out who they'll face, now they're
:00:59. > :01:18.The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is in Scotland tonight
:01:19. > :01:19.for a hustings with Owen Smith, his challenger
:01:20. > :01:25.Mr Corbyn has said he's disappointed that the party's Scottish leader,
:01:26. > :01:29.Kezia Dugdale, isn't backing him for the job.
:01:30. > :01:35.Meanwhile, Mr Smith has told the BBC he's open to a free vote for Labour
:01:36. > :01:39.politicians in the event of another independence referendum.
:01:40. > :01:41.But said it was ultimately up to the Scottish leadership
:01:42. > :01:51.Our political correspondent, Nick Eardley has the story.
:01:52. > :01:59.Which direction should the Labour Party take? Fresh from a row about
:02:00. > :02:03.whether he was forced to sit on a floor on a busy train, today the
:02:04. > :02:06.focus turned to how to get Labour's electrode performance in Scotland
:02:07. > :02:11.back contract. Mr Corbyn's supporters think his radical brand
:02:12. > :02:17.of politics can attract voters. That is despite the Scottish leader Kezia
:02:18. > :02:21.Dugdale saying he is unelectable. His response? I'm disappointed she
:02:22. > :02:27.is not supporting my real election as leader. I hope she realises that
:02:28. > :02:31.we are putting forward a clear and hysterically programme. But he
:02:32. > :02:35.agrees with her that independence is not the answer to Scotland's
:02:36. > :02:39.problems. The SNP have a different purpose which is to achieve
:02:40. > :02:45.independence. I respect their right to advance their cause but so
:02:46. > :02:48.reserve the right to disagree with it. We are not looking for an
:02:49. > :02:51.alliance with the SNP. I will welcome support for all or any of
:02:52. > :02:56.our policies from any other political groups or parties. Owen
:02:57. > :02:59.Smith thinks the party needs change at Westminster, especially if it is
:03:00. > :03:05.to win the porters and seats back from the SNP and Tories. Scotland is
:03:06. > :03:09.a great heartland of the Labour Party and Scotland needs a Labour
:03:10. > :03:14.government in Holyrood and also in Westminster. I think I would bring a
:03:15. > :03:18.very detailed understanding of devolution, how it works, given my
:03:19. > :03:24.experience as the Shadow Welsh Secretary. Could that mean allowing
:03:25. > :03:34.Labour politicians a free vote on Scottish independence? It would not
:03:35. > :03:36.be for me to determine what MSP 's will do. That would be for Kezia
:03:37. > :03:39.Dugdale and the Scottish Labour Party. I am all for maximum autonomy
:03:40. > :03:42.for the party. I think that is one of the mistakes we made in the past
:03:43. > :03:47.that we did not give people their head as Scottish people to reflect
:03:48. > :03:51.their own identity. Can this enthusiastic support be extended to
:03:52. > :03:54.the wider electorate? That is the challenge ahead for Labour.
:03:55. > :03:57.Our political editor Brian Taylor joins us now from outside the SECC,
:03:58. > :04:02.where the hustings will start in the next hour.
:04:03. > :04:15.Brian, Jeremy Corbyn says he is to -- disappointed not to get the
:04:16. > :04:20.support from Kezia Dugdale? I have heard him speak twice today and I
:04:21. > :04:26.will can delete my hat-trick in a moment. He has said he is against
:04:27. > :04:36.austerity and the Labour Party is out of that -- out of step for not
:04:37. > :04:41.supporting him. I'm sure Kezia Dugdale would take issues on certain
:04:42. > :04:45.policies but she does not believe that Jeremy Corbyn is a credible
:04:46. > :04:52.leader or a credible contender for Prime Minister. She believes in
:04:53. > :04:55.short he is a loser. Team Corbyn think she will have to do backtrack
:04:56. > :05:03.short he is a loser. Team Corbyn and he will be a winner in this
:05:04. > :05:10.Labour leadership contest. What you make of Owen Smith's view on a free
:05:11. > :05:14.vote? He did about a 90 degrees turn within a few seconds. He is not the
:05:15. > :05:18.first UK politician to stumble over the intricacies of Scottish
:05:19. > :05:22.politics. I think it reflects yet again that Labour is still seeking
:05:23. > :05:27.to balance this idea of being a UK party with a class -based appeal,
:05:28. > :05:33.and economic appeal, and trying to work with that sense of Scottish
:05:34. > :05:36.partridges. That sense of Scottish identification. In terms of the
:05:37. > :05:38.contest within the party, it will be decided by the votes, but right now
:05:39. > :05:42.contest within the party, it will be it does not look like ending in a
:05:43. > :05:45.particularly comradely fashion. Thank you.
:05:46. > :05:47.An investigation by BBC Scotland has found that exploitation of workers
:05:48. > :05:50.is commonplace in the heart of Govanhill in Glasgow.
:05:51. > :05:52.In the second of her special reports, our political
:05:53. > :05:55.correspondent, Lucy Adams, also found that exceptional levels
:05:56. > :05:57.of poverty in the area were being exacerbated
:05:58. > :06:15.In the south side of Glasgow, we find two win in taking food from
:06:16. > :06:19.bins and filling an empty pram with bags of clothes from a charity
:06:20. > :06:24.clothing bin. The company which looks after the banks says that are
:06:25. > :06:29.so commonplace they have had to make them more secure. They actually
:06:30. > :06:33.dropped a child inside the clothing bank to pass the stuff out and when
:06:34. > :06:43.someone came to chase them away, the child was left there and the police
:06:44. > :06:46.had to rescue it. A study obtained by the BBC found of 300 Roma people
:06:47. > :06:51.and Govanhill, most were working but almost a third earned less than the
:06:52. > :06:56.minimum wage. These people say low wages were one reason why women
:06:57. > :07:02.steal from charity clothing bins. Some do not have money for food for
:07:03. > :07:08.baby. Too many ladies are not going working, only husband goes working.
:07:09. > :07:15.They need the money to buy everything for the child. Volunteers
:07:16. > :07:19.say the solution is education. If their English is not good enough,
:07:20. > :07:22.they don't know their rights, they're working for less than the
:07:23. > :07:27.minimum wage. The solution would be more English classes in the area, so
:07:28. > :07:34.if their English is getting better and better, they can get a better
:07:35. > :07:40.job. I am teaching English in Govanhill because we have people
:07:41. > :07:45.from 42 different countries. These English lessons in the Church on
:07:46. > :07:50.Daisy Street started last year because of growing demand. Dozens of
:07:51. > :07:55.people come each week. My name is Ivanovic I am from Slovakia. I have
:07:56. > :08:02.been in Glasgow six years. I have a very beautiful son. I am very happy.
:08:03. > :08:11.Learning some English does not guarantee the minimum wage. ?3,
:08:12. > :08:18.maximum ?7. Are you happy to work for less than the minimum wage. Yes.
:08:19. > :08:25.The poverty here echoes Glasgow's past. What we saw was a community
:08:26. > :08:30.which reminded me of growing up in the 1960s in the East End of
:08:31. > :08:35.Glasgow. You had workless men standing on street corners. They by
:08:36. > :08:37.and large tend to have large families, so the men are standing
:08:38. > :08:42.and large tend to have large out to get away from the wife and
:08:43. > :08:48.children. You have flats where there are infestations we have not seen in
:08:49. > :08:54.this country for many generations, bedbugs, cockroaches, rats in flats.
:08:55. > :09:00.Figures obtained by the BBC show in Govanhill in the past four years,
:09:01. > :09:06.there have been 1500 instances of mites, bedbugs and fleas and almost
:09:07. > :09:11.2000 cases of cockroaches although recent figures have fallen slightly.
:09:12. > :09:17.This lawyer sees the results daily. Quite often your clients have read
:09:18. > :09:20.pockmarks and they are scratching and the children are scratching. The
:09:21. > :09:26.landlords will pick up mattresses in the street and put them in a
:09:27. > :09:27.client's flat. If there are fleas or bedbugs they will be transferred
:09:28. > :09:36.into the new property. bedbugs they will be transferred
:09:37. > :09:43.is an issue. There is an increase in migrants after the referendum in
:09:44. > :09:47.May. We have definitely seen an influx of migrants. They see it
:09:48. > :09:53.perhaps is the last chance and they are coming here. It is new migrants
:09:54. > :09:59.which have made Govanhill what it is. It is an amazingly vibrant
:10:00. > :10:02.place. All of the things that people see as the bad things have their
:10:03. > :10:08.emperors at its aspect as well. Being so busy means there is always
:10:09. > :10:13.something going on. The low rents also bringing artists and students.
:10:14. > :10:17.There are lots of things happening in Govanhill. There are lots of
:10:18. > :10:27.people doing things to address problems at different levels. I just
:10:28. > :10:33.love the noise. It is events like this world music night which really
:10:34. > :10:39.reflect the diversity and vibrancy of the area. Are you having a good
:10:40. > :10:45.time? Everyone is together. You don't see that anywhere else. The
:10:46. > :10:50.group of young people I work with just want to work. They want to
:10:51. > :10:53.express themselves, some want to be famous, they want to wrap and
:10:54. > :10:59.perform, they just want to make something of themselves. They are
:11:00. > :11:08.not here to leech, or to rob or harm anyone, they just want to have a
:11:09. > :11:13.good life. This diverse community has its fair share of problems. But
:11:14. > :11:16.talk to people here, they tell you they could be overcome.
:11:17. > :11:18.Scotland's colleges have been through a massive shake-up,
:11:19. > :11:21.with several mergers and a cut in the number of part-time students.
:11:22. > :11:24.But according to the public spending watchdog, more work is needed
:11:25. > :11:27.to understand what impact the controversial changes are having.
:11:28. > :11:30.The Scottish government says it'll consider the findings.
:11:31. > :11:33.As our education correspondent Jamie McIvor reports,
:11:34. > :11:40.the changes have seen winners and losers.
:11:41. > :11:48.Stephan is getting ready for college. He is about to begin a
:11:49. > :11:57.two-year HND course in mechanical engineering. Heart -- after college
:11:58. > :12:03.I will go to university and get a job at the end. Colleges now focus
:12:04. > :12:07.on full-time courses like the one Stephan will do. More school leavers
:12:08. > :12:12.and young adults are getting full-time places. It is the result
:12:13. > :12:18.of a deliberate policy move. But there is another side to the coin.
:12:19. > :12:23.Overall budgets were cut by nearly a fifth in real terms over five years.
:12:24. > :12:27.Jobs have gone and the number of part-time students is down
:12:28. > :12:35.dramatically, nearly half in eight years. One of the issues remains
:12:36. > :12:39.about funding. A number of colleges are facing significant financial
:12:40. > :12:49.challenges over the next year. The sector is one which does not have
:12:50. > :12:54.problems to sue. One big change is the merger of colleges. City of
:12:55. > :12:58.Glasgow College is hailed as a good example. Nationally, the public
:12:59. > :13:02.spending watchdog says it needs to be easier to show if reforms are
:13:03. > :13:06.getting results. It is not possible for the government to report on the
:13:07. > :13:09.getting results. It is not possible costs and benefits of the reforms
:13:10. > :13:16.they have been through. It is not clear if they have been fully
:13:17. > :13:19.achieved or what the cost was. The shake-up has sometimes seemed
:13:20. > :13:26.difficulties. This year saw a national pay strike, but colleges
:13:27. > :13:28.claim overall they have a good story to tell. It is only right the
:13:29. > :13:33.government puts the funding in and wants to see good results at the
:13:34. > :13:36.other side. If that means we have to do more data collection, that is
:13:37. > :13:43.fine as long as it does not detract from the impact on the student. Some
:13:44. > :13:45.working in colleges have real worries about their futures.
:13:46. > :13:47.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.
:13:48. > :13:49.Still to come on tonight's programme...
:13:50. > :13:51.An unlikely political scandal - so-called "Legogate".
:13:52. > :13:54.We'll explain the row over a councillor, a conference
:13:55. > :14:04.The former Education Secretary, Mike Russell, has been
:14:05. > :14:07.appointed to a new post as, basically, minister for Brexit
:14:08. > :14:11.He'll lead discussions with the UK government to protect
:14:12. > :14:16.Scotland's interests ahead of negotiations on leaving the EU.
:14:17. > :14:18.Our political correspondent, Andrew Kerr, is at the Scottish
:14:19. > :14:28.Something of a comeback for Mr Russell, Andrew?
:14:29. > :14:34.Yes, sadly. Mike Russell is the comeback kid of Scottish politics
:14:35. > :14:39.tonight. There had been some speculation about who would emerge
:14:40. > :14:44.from behind the black door at the house, the First Minister's official
:14:45. > :14:49.residence to be appointed Minister for Brexit. As you see, the former
:14:50. > :14:54.Education Secretary, he stepped down from government two years ago when
:14:55. > :14:59.Nicola Sturgeon took over, perhaps rather unwillingly, but he is a
:15:00. > :15:05.political heavyweight to the right of the party. Maybe Nicola Sturgeon
:15:06. > :15:09.to the left but she welcomes his talents and she wants a strong voice
:15:10. > :15:15.for Scotland at these negotiations. This is what she told me earlier.
:15:16. > :15:20.This is a job for a capable and experienced minister. Over the next
:15:21. > :15:23.few months as the UK develops its negotiating position, it is vital
:15:24. > :15:28.that Scotland's voices heard and we have the opportunity for protecting
:15:29. > :15:34.Scotland's place in Europe which is what the majority of Scottish people
:15:35. > :15:42.voted for. We have to be in those negotiations meaningfully and Mike
:15:43. > :15:45.Russell will leave those for us. So Minister for negotiations on
:15:46. > :15:50.Scotland's place in Europe, to give it its Sunday title. The Prime
:15:51. > :15:56.Minister has said Brexit means Brexit. The Scottish Government
:15:57. > :16:01.wants to protect Scotland's place in Europe, so he says he will not be
:16:02. > :16:05.frustrating or being an obstacle to these negotiations, but a difficult
:16:06. > :16:08.job for Mr Russell and a difficult job for the UK ministers as well.
:16:09. > :16:10.Thank you. Police Scotland has said it's
:16:11. > :16:12.to delay further its plans to close control rooms
:16:13. > :16:14.in Aberdeen and Inverness. They had been expected
:16:15. > :16:16.to close early this year, with calls being transferred
:16:17. > :16:19.to a new control room in Dundee. But after the M9 tragedy,
:16:20. > :16:21.in which control staff failed to pass on details of a call
:16:22. > :16:25.about a crashed car in which two people died, the Inspector
:16:26. > :16:28.of Constabulary ordered the closure Relatives of a mother
:16:29. > :16:36.and her six-year-old son, who died after getting
:16:37. > :16:38.into difficulties at Aberdeen beach, have thanked those
:16:39. > :16:43.who tried to rescue them. Six-year-old Lucas Walker
:16:44. > :16:44.was playing, when he was His mother, 37-year-old
:16:45. > :16:48.Julie Walker, tried His brother Samuel, who's 13,
:16:49. > :16:58.and bystanders also tried to help. A look at other stories
:16:59. > :17:08.from across the country... A firefighter has been seriously
:17:09. > :17:12.injured after a wall collapsed on him while he was tackling a blaze at
:17:13. > :17:17.a disused building in Inverclyde. He was among a team of 24 firefighters
:17:18. > :17:20.called to the building just after midnight. An investigation is
:17:21. > :17:25.underway and the cause of the fire is being treated as suspicious. A
:17:26. > :17:29.2-year-old boy has been badly injured after falling from the
:17:30. > :17:33.window of a flat in South Lanarkshire. It happened in
:17:34. > :17:37.Rutherglen on Tuesday afternoon. A toddler is being treated at
:17:38. > :17:41.Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Groups representing bus
:17:42. > :17:45.companies and passengers met today in Edinburgh. A recent report from
:17:46. > :17:50.Citizens Advice Scotland highlighted concerns about bus coverage and
:17:51. > :17:53.prices in rural areas. One solution discussed today was community owned
:17:54. > :18:00.transport which is growing in popularity. We focus on registered
:18:01. > :18:03.bus services, and the community transport is not registered bus
:18:04. > :18:07.services. I think there is a wealth of them out there and it is just a
:18:08. > :18:11.case of looking to see how they can work in the future, in partnership
:18:12. > :18:15.with a traditional bus company. For the first time in 20 years, a
:18:16. > :18:20.Scottish comedian is up for the most prestigious award at the Edinburgh
:18:21. > :18:23.fringe. Richard Gadd from Fife is one of eight comics short listed for
:18:24. > :18:31.the ?10,000 Edinburgh comedy awards prize. Hibernian's all the supporter
:18:32. > :18:37.has died at the age of 106. Just months after watching his team left
:18:38. > :18:41.the cup. Sam Martinez had followed the team since arriving in Edinburgh
:18:42. > :18:45.70 years ago. He finally saw Hibernian win the cup in May, the
:18:46. > :18:48.first time they had won the trophy in 100 years.
:18:49. > :18:50.It's been dubbed "Legogate" and has led to calls
:18:51. > :18:54.for the resignation of a senior Aberdeenshire councillor.
:18:55. > :18:56.Martin Kitts Hayes walked out on a prestigious conference
:18:57. > :18:59.at Legoland in Denmark, after complaining that the log
:19:00. > :19:02.cabin accommodation was not up to standard.
:19:03. > :19:04.Today a report revealed that the abortive trip
:19:05. > :19:06.for him and two colleagues cost almost ?3,500.
:19:07. > :19:23.It is many a child's dream to visit the home of Lego. For almost half a
:19:24. > :19:25.It is many a child's dream to visit century this place, with billions of
:19:26. > :19:34.bricks, has been providing holidays to remember forever. But for one
:19:35. > :19:38.senior counsellor it was the setting for a trip he would rather forget.
:19:39. > :19:45.That man was the co-leader of Aberdeenshire Council. He, and two
:19:46. > :19:48.colleagues, flew out of Aberdeen airport to attend a conference of
:19:49. > :19:53.the North Sea commission. When he saw the accommodation, he was not
:19:54. > :19:59.happy, lightening it -- likening it to Butlins in the 1970s. We have
:20:00. > :20:04.come here to see the most cheerful lass of the week. In less time than
:20:05. > :20:08.it took to judge the swimwear competition, the councillor was back
:20:09. > :20:11.on the plane. Then an hour and a quarter, he had rejected alternative
:20:12. > :20:14.accommodation suggestions and book to the party on the next flight
:20:15. > :20:19.home. But the saga did not end there. It is claimed that he tried
:20:20. > :20:28.to cover up his decision to fly home, phoning his PA to get her to
:20:29. > :20:31.tell people that they had not returned. Within two hours of
:20:32. > :20:36.arriving, they are on their way to fly home again. The report shows
:20:37. > :20:41.that if he had waited just half an hour or 45 minutes, he would have
:20:42. > :20:44.been alternative accommodation made available. There are calls already
:20:45. > :20:49.for Cancelo Kitts Hayes to resign over what happened in this resort.
:20:50. > :20:57.He has admitted his decision to return home was April one. But what
:20:58. > :21:00.has been dubbed Legogate does not end there. Councillors will discuss
:21:01. > :21:01.his actions at a specially convened meeting next week.
:21:02. > :21:04.The draw has been made for the group stage of the Champions League
:21:05. > :21:10.and Celtic have a tough task if they're to progress.
:21:11. > :21:13.David Currie is at Celtic Park for us tonight with all the details.
:21:14. > :21:22.Today's Champions League group stage draw was always going to produce a
:21:23. > :21:27.tough group for Celtic, as you say. And now we know exactly how tough. I
:21:28. > :21:31.will not keep you in suspense any longer. Let's have a look at the
:21:32. > :21:38.teams that Celtic will face, home and away. Starting with the top
:21:39. > :21:49.seeds in the group, starting with the champions, Barcelona, Soares,

:22:40. > :22:44.It is worth bearing in mind that only the top two teams from the

:23:05. > :23:10.There was a long-standing discussion about whether Scotland has too many
:23:11. > :23:15.professional football teams. Some clubs came close to merging in the
:23:16. > :23:18.90s. It is among the issues explored in a documentary charting some of
:23:19. > :23:26.the most significant moments in Scottish football over the last 30
:23:27. > :23:31.years. European triumphs against Barcelona, along with regular
:23:32. > :23:33.domestic success in the 1980s resulted in high praise for the then
:23:34. > :23:39.Dundee United manager, Jerry Maclean. There is a man who totally
:23:40. > :23:44.transformed the face of football in this city. He wanted to take that
:23:45. > :23:48.transformation a step further by merging the Tannadice club with
:23:49. > :23:53.their city rivals, Dundee. I believe that the club would be more
:23:54. > :23:58.successful if we joined ranks and pool resources and at the moment, we
:23:59. > :24:03.are spread too thin. It was very close to happening. It was within
:24:04. > :24:08.two or three days of happening, but it did not. There were other
:24:09. > :24:14.murderers. Edinburgh was nearly a merger at one point. Thompson is
:24:15. > :24:17.correct. In 1990 with Hibernian floundering financially, the Hearts
:24:18. > :24:21.chairman launched an audacious takeover bid. It should not come as
:24:22. > :24:28.a cultural shock. The thought of putting together two teams who have
:24:29. > :24:34.been competitors for 100 years or so. QR brawler from Hibernian fans

:24:39. > :24:44.against the Hearts chairman who is not here this afternoon. At
:24:45. > :24:46.half-time, there was the fear of another pitch invasion. They
:24:47. > :24:53.basically said, if you score another goal, we may have to stop the game.
:24:54. > :25:01.So if you can help it, don't score. So we said, no problem at all,
:25:02. > :25:05.thanks. And we said, no, that isn't happening. Hearts won the match but
:25:06. > :25:10.there was no merger. But the feeling that 42 senior clubs in Scotland's
:25:11. > :25:18.game was overkill remains. By any standard, that is too many. That is
:25:19. > :25:23.an issue in itself, in my view. What is the solution? I don't know. But
:25:24. > :25:24.it is something we should look at. Perhaps we will still be looking at
:25:25. > :25:33.it in another 30 years' time. And Scotland's Game
:25:34. > :25:35.is on BBC One Scotland tonight at 9. Let's see how the weather
:25:36. > :25:44.is shaping up. Good evening. There was some
:25:45. > :25:52.sunshine around today but for many, not much. If there is blue sky on

:26:13. > :26:17.West Coast. Away from those two areas, mild, and with the wind in
:26:18. > :26:21.the South West, that should push the showers offshore. Tomorrow, low
:26:22. > :26:25.pressure nearby. For the Highlands and Islands, probably a wet morning
:26:26. > :26:29.but it will improve later. Elsewhere, after a cloudy start, the
:26:30. > :26:32.sunshine will come out and for central and southern parts, a fairly
:26:33. > :26:36.decent day with perhaps some showers around at times. The wet weather
:26:37. > :26:47.pushing up towards Orkney and Shetland. By mid-afternoon, we're
