:01:23. > :01:26.It's also planning to create new regional bodies which will work

:01:35. > :01:36.In a moment we'll be talking to our education
:01:37. > :01:38.correspondent Jamie McIvor, but first, let's hear from the
:01:39. > :01:48.Our guiding principle for the way schools is run are simple. Decisions
:01:49. > :01:53.should be taken at school level. That will be the presumption and we
:01:54. > :01:59.will place it at the heart of the review. We want to empower teaches
:02:00. > :02:06.to make the best decisions for children and young people. They have
:02:07. > :02:11.the expertise. There will be new educational regions operating above
:02:12. > :02:13.local authorities. Would the cabinet Secretary accept this looks like
:02:14. > :02:16.centralisation of education? Well our education correspondent
:02:17. > :02:18.Jamie McIvor is at the Scottish Jamie just how radical could these
:02:19. > :02:27.changes to schools be? It could be significant. Let's talk
:02:28. > :02:34.about the things which John Swinney ruled out. He said there will be no
:02:35. > :02:37.moves to selective education or grammar schools or formally allowing
:02:38. > :02:42.schools to opt out of local authority control. But don't be put
:02:43. > :02:47.off by the moderate language of John Swinney, we could be talking about
:02:48. > :02:52.radical changes. Especially when it comes to the role of councils. The
:02:53. > :02:57.Scottish government would see this as a form of devolution to schools
:02:58. > :03:00.and say that by empowering teachers they're more likely to do what is
:03:01. > :03:04.best for the school and raise attainment. What is right for one
:03:05. > :03:08.school may not be right for a school somewhere else. But there is a
:03:09. > :03:10.school may not be right for a school question of the regional education
:03:11. > :03:13.school may not be right for a school boards to encourage schools in
:03:14. > :03:18.different areas to co-operate and work together. The question is what
:03:19. > :03:22.role is left for local authorities? And in this review that will be
:03:23. > :03:27.carried out it is going to be for councils to make the case for the
:03:28. > :03:32.powers they need to retain. What sort of powers could schools and
:03:33. > :03:40.head teachers get and what will it Plean for parent -- mean for
:03:41. > :03:46.parents? It is up for discussion. It would be that head teachers could
:03:47. > :03:50.take more decisions about what subjects should be available in a
:03:51. > :03:55.particular school and about opening hours. That sort of thing may be up
:03:56. > :04:03.for discussion now. With that goes the important question of just how
:04:04. > :04:04.to ensure that schools remain accountable to parents and the
:04:05. > :04:07.community. Thank you. A man has told a court
:04:08. > :04:10.that his uncle confessed to the 1998 stabbing of restaraunt worker

:04:13. > :04:15.told him what he had done the night Andrew Black reports
:04:16. > :04:30.from the High Court in Glasgow. This was Andrew Coulter's second day
:04:31. > :04:37.of evidence. He had said he and his uncle were involved in the theft of
:04:38. > :04:46.a giro cheque belonging to Surjit Singh Chhokar. He said his uncle and
:04:47. > :04:52.another man went to see Surjit Singh Chhokar in November 1998. The court
:04:53. > :04:58.heard a scuffle broke out in which Andrew Coulter hit Mr Surjit Singh
:04:59. > :05:04.Chhokar with a bat. Andrew Coulter said later that night he was at his
:05:05. > :05:10.uncle Ronny's flat. The prosecution asked how did he appear. He said, I
:05:11. > :05:14.don't know, shaken. He was asked, did your uncle say anything to you,
:05:15. > :05:20.he said, aye, that he had stabbed Surjit Singh Chhokar. Referring to
:05:21. > :05:32.the bat, the defence QC put to it Andrew Coulter he had gone to see M
:05:33. > :05:37.Chhokar. He said that he had killed Mr Chhokar. Mr Coulter said he
:05:38. > :05:40.didn't and if he had he would have put his hands up to it. Ronny

:05:47. > :05:50.The disciplinary hearing against nurse Pauline Cafferkey

:05:53. > :05:54.'dishonestly' by allowing her temperature to be mis-recorded
:05:55. > :05:57.during screening at Heathrow airport.
:05:58. > :05:59.But the 40-year-old nurse still faces charges of misconduct
:06:00. > :06:03.Lisa Summers is at the hearing in Edinburgh.
:06:04. > :06:18.Lisa, what's been said about Pauline Cafferkey's actions?
:06:19. > :06:26.Pauline calf ackee arrived back home and the screening room was described
:06:27. > :06:32.as chaotic. Although her temperature was enough to warrant medical
:06:33. > :06:39.attention, somebody in her team has had written it as being 37 degrees.
:06:40. > :06:43.After that she said she was feeling unwell and had taken paracetamol.
:06:44. > :06:48.But when she went back to the screening area, a doctor cleared her
:06:49. > :06:57.to return home to Scotland. Now, the panel here, the conduct hearing has
:06:58. > :07:02.agreed she didn't act dishonestly in not declaring her attempt. But
:07:03. > :07:03.representatives argued she should be found guilty of misconduct, because
:07:04. > :07:07.she did put the public at risk. And what has Miss Cafferkey's
:07:08. > :07:17.lawyer been saying? Her lawyer said she should have been
:07:18. > :07:24.treated as a patient from the moment she arrived back at Heathrow and it
:07:25. > :07:28.was up to officials to make sure the temperature checks were done
:07:29. > :07:32.properly. She said despite the chaos of everything that was going on, she
:07:33. > :07:40.had disclosed to medics that she was feeling unwell and had taken
:07:41. > :07:44.paracetamol. She said her unblemished record demonstrates her
:07:45. > :07:48.judgment was impaired because of the symptoms of Ebola. But the panel
:07:49. > :07:50.have retired to consider the arguments made by both sides and the
:07:51. > :07:55.hearing will continue tomorrow. Thank you.

:07:59. > :08:00.greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new report from
:08:01. > :08:04.But it says the reductions were largely down to the relatively
:08:05. > :08:07.warm weather last winter, and adds that in some areas,

:08:32. > :08:39.Aberdeen has the UK's biggest fleet of hydrogen buses, but without
:08:40. > :08:44.grants, this quieter technology would not be viable. It uses an
:08:45. > :08:52.energy recovery system, so as long as you're planning ahead for a
:08:53. > :08:55.traffic light, I can slow the bus down, the passengers won't feel
:08:56. > :09:00.anything and I pull smoothly away. This is one way of tackling
:09:01. > :09:05.emissions from transport. But with just ten buses, it is a small scale
:09:06. > :09:15.answer to a big problem. The report says there has been good progress in
:09:16. > :09:21.deploying renewable electricity, but emission from transport are
:09:22. > :09:25.unchanged from 1990 and in agriculture the changes have been
:09:26. > :09:31.slow. We are aiming at cutting our emissions in the UK by 80% by 2050
:09:32. > :09:37.and the Scottish Government has taken this seriously in making its
:09:38. > :09:41.contribution. What we have got to do is concentrate particularly on
:09:42. > :09:46.transport, where we do have to reduce our emissions. Hydrogen
:09:47. > :09:50.transport is good for vehicle emissions, but one problem is
:09:51. > :09:55.getting people out of their cars and on to buses like this in the first
:09:56. > :10:01.place. So ministers are being urged in the report to better promote

:22:52. > :22:57.visit of just 24 hours, at the end of what has been a season mostly of
:22:58. > :23:01.highs, but one significant low. Yes. It has to be Rio, I'm afraid.
:23:02. > :23:07.Probably the only low point of the whole season but I'm really happy I
:23:08. > :23:10.ran the race, I went for that gold. COMMENTATOR: She's getting chased
:23:11. > :23:15.down Laura Muir. Americans are coming as well. Had I ran the last
:23:16. > :23:18.part of the race more conservatively, I think I definitely
:23:19. > :23:22.could have come through from bronze to silver but I never would have
:23:23. > :23:26.known could I have got gold? I would always be thinking. Look how much it
:23:27. > :23:32.means, poor Laura Muir gave everything there. And then, Diamond
:23:33. > :23:38.League, to win that, are you the first Scot to have won? I think so.
:23:39. > :23:42.A lot of the people who win them are Olympic or world medallists, so to
:23:43. > :23:46.win the overall thing at the end is surreal. I can't believe it. So you
:23:47. > :23:50.are at the very top of that world and then you have another world you
:23:51. > :23:56.live in. What is happening with your vet studies? I finish fourth year
:23:57. > :24:02.just before Rio. I did my full-time fourth year and taking a gap year
:24:03. > :24:05.next year for the World Championships before finishing my
:24:06. > :24:10.fifth year. Not too many world class athletes also have a career. I think
:24:11. > :24:14.it is so, so important. I never dreamed of being a fall-time
:24:15. > :24:17.athlete. I need to keep my mind busy. I think it is the reason why I
:24:18. > :24:19.can switch off when I'm doing busy. I think it is the reason why I
:24:20. > :24:23.sessions and train so hard, because I'm not thinking about it all Dane
:24:24. > :24:32.not tiring myself out, overanalysing a session, as it were. I'll keep on
:24:33. > :24:37.going but I love what I do. There is little time to relax. She's now off
:24:38. > :24:39.for a two week vet placement in a dog santurary.
:24:40. > :24:41.Time to get the latest on the weather now.
:24:42. > :24:43.Christopher we've missed out on the high temperatures
:24:44. > :24:45.they've been enjoying in the south of England -
:24:46. > :24:51.No. Incredible for the middle of September.
:24:52. > :24:54.Ask a silly question! We will see a few thunderstorms
:24:55. > :24:57.developing, though, all connected with that heat. There was some
:24:58. > :25:01.sunshine for us today. You can see on the satellite picture up the west
:25:02. > :25:05.coast, but for most of us, this band of cloud was the order fted day with
:25:06. > :25:09.outbreaks of rain moving northwards. And now our focus is on some under
:25:10. > :25:14.thisry downpours developing across the north of England and likely for
:25:15. > :25:19.the borders over the next few hours. Difficult conditions on the roads.
:25:20. > :25:25.The yellow be aware from the Met Office. Heavy outbreaks in the
:25:26. > :25:29.south-west by the end of the night most of which will have cleared
:25:30. > :25:33.away. It is largely dry and mild a. Across central belt and south,
:25:34. > :25:37.temperatures in the teens and quite misty and murky around North Sea
:25:38. > :25:40.coasts which will drift inland throughout the night and for
:25:41. > :25:44.tomorrow morning. To start the day tomorrow, a few showers across the
:25:45. > :25:47.north of the Grampians pulling away. Elsewhere, largely dry but
:25:48. > :25:51.elsewhere, fairly cloudy. There will be some sunshine on offer but you
:25:52. > :25:55.need to be in the south-west really to see it, and here we will see
:25:56. > :26:00.temperatures of a 23, 24. South Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway.
:26:01. > :26:06.Further east, the borders, the Lothians, cloudy, misty and murky.
:26:07. > :26:10.Across the North west, some sunshine coming through, for the Hebrides and
:26:11. > :26:13.west coast, albeit with a few showers and brightness for Orkney
:26:14. > :26:16.and Shetland but cooler compared with else where. The rest of the
:26:17. > :26:20.afternoon into the evening, that low cloud, the mist and murk, fairly
:26:21. > :26:25.extensive, as we head overnight into Thursday. That means, Thursday will
:26:26. > :26:28.be a murky start for eastern Scotland, through the central part
:26:29. > :26:30.of the country, some early brightness and pleasantly warm by
:26:31. > :26:35.the afternoon. But you will notice in the west coast, some outbreaks of
:26:36. > :26:38.rain. So a bit of a three-way split really, come Thursday. If you get
:26:39. > :26:43.the sunshine, pleasant. Elsewhere, less so. Friday, the weather will
:26:44. > :26:46.have cleared towards the North Sea. Hynd it, most of us into the
:26:47. > :26:50.fresher, brighter conditions, probably the best of the week with
:26:51. > :26:52.sunshine for many but still wet for Shetland. That's the forecast, for
:26:53. > :27:00.now. Thank you. Now a reminder of the
:27:01. > :27:03.main stories: Schools could be given substantial new powers under plans
:27:04. > :27:07.unveiled by the Scottish Government. It wants it devolve as much power as
:27:08. > :27:10.possible to individual schools and headteachers. It means local
:27:11. > :27:14.authorities are likely to have far less control over education.
:27:15. > :27:16.The two hosts of the Great British Bake Off, Sue Perkins
:27:17. > :27:19.and Mel Giedroyc will quit the programme when it leaves the BBC
:27:20. > :27:22.after the current series to go to Channel 4.
:27:23. > :27:24.BBC News understands the corporation would have had to spend an extra
:27:25. > :27:28.?10 million a year to keep one of its most popular programmes.
:27:29. > :27:30.And that's all from Reporting Scotland.
:27:31. > :27:31.I'll be back with the headlines at 8.
:27:32. > :27:36.Until then, from everyone on the team - right
:27:37. > :27:41.across the country - have a very good evening.
