Now on BBC One let's join our news teams where you are.

As Kezia Dugdale makes her Labour Conference speech,

:00:00.:00:07.

Jeremy Corbyn tells us he believes the party can win back

:00:08.:00:10.

We can win a lot of support in Scotland. Local election and

:00:11.:00:26.

by-elections are only the start, but we can win here. We will be live in

:00:27.:00:35.

Liverpool with analysis of how Scotland's Labour leader, Kezia

:00:36.:00:38.

Dugdale, plans to revive her party in Scotland.

:00:39.:00:41.

Eight senior doctors at NHS Grampian are cleared of wrongdoing

:00:42.:00:44.

A day after a Calmac ferry crashes into a pier on the Western Isles,

:00:45.:00:48.

local people have raised safety fears.

:00:49.:00:49.

The daily grind of getting to and from work -

:00:50.:00:52.

but which commuter towns are the most affordable?

:00:53.:00:55.

And remembering the golfer affectionately known as the King -

:00:56.:00:59.

we look back at Arnold Palmer's life and his connection with

:01:00.:01:02.

The newly re-elected Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has told BBC Scotland

:01:03.:01:25.

he believes the party can win back "a lot" of support in Scotland.

:01:26.:01:30.

He said there was "great deal of hope" in the Scottish party,

:01:31.:01:33.

despite it finishing third in May's Holyrood election.

:01:34.:01:36.

Here's our political correspondent, Nick Eardley.

:01:37.:01:45.

How does Labour sold its Scotland problem? May saw its worst ever

:01:46.:01:52.

result at a Holyrood election, relegated to third place behind the

:01:53.:01:59.

Tories, but with no sign of the top two changing, will things change in

:02:00.:02:08.

message? The reality is, they are not using the powers they've got in

:02:09.:02:13.

the Scottish Parliament, and local government cuts continue. Therefore,

:02:14.:02:18.

people lose their jobs and services are deteriorating. Can you win a

:02:19.:02:23.

general election in Scotland? We can win a lot of support in Scotland. We

:02:24.:02:28.

have one local elections and by-elections. That is a start. We

:02:29.:02:33.

have elections next gen, and bigger elections later owned for

:02:34.:02:38.

Westminster. The Scottish party is in a good place. But not all is

:02:39.:02:48.

rosy. A row over whether the Scottish leader should be able to

:02:49.:02:51.

represent the -- election a representative to the UK executive

:02:52.:02:55.

was a theme today. Sources say Mr Corbyn tried to block it. There has

:02:56.:03:01.

to be a Scottish member of the National executive, and a Welsh one,

:03:02.:03:06.

for that matter. The decision making on that is what the discussion was

:03:07.:03:11.

about. We will come to that conclusion, and there will be a

:03:12.:03:17.

Scottish member of the Executive. Are you happy for it to be Kezia

:03:18.:03:24.

Dugdale? Very happy. We work well together. Now on to try to win back

:03:25.:03:26.

those versed -- voters. Well, as we saw in that piece,

:03:27.:03:29.

the Scottish Labour Leader, Kezia Dugdale, has also been

:03:30.:03:32.

on the podium this afternoon, and our Political Correspondent

:03:33.:03:34.

David Porter is live Behind me is the famous River

:03:35.:03:50.

Mersey, and Merseyside is what is known as a red region. Labour to the

:03:51.:03:55.

core. Of course, once Scotland was like that, but no more, and when

:03:56.:04:00.

Kezia Dugdale came to the conference this afternoon, she was speaking for

:04:01.:04:04.

the first time since the Holyrood elections in May, when Labour was

:04:05.:04:09.

relegated to third place, its worst ever result in a Holyrood election.

:04:10.:04:14.

She defended her campaign, attacked the SNP and the Tories, and said she

:04:15.:04:17.

would be willing to put taxes up to protect public services,

:04:18.:04:37.

in her words. Since the vote just over three months ago, for many

:04:38.:04:39.

people in Scotland, the defining issue is whether there will be a

:04:40.:04:41.

second independence referendum. Kezia Dugdale tackled that had on.

:04:42.:04:44.

We do not need the uncertainty of another independence referendum,

:04:45.:04:48.

which is why we would vote against it. Despite the public show of

:04:49.:04:52.

support for each other, there are many in labour who still feel that

:04:53.:04:58.

Jeremy Corbyn is not the right person to lead the party. There are

:04:59.:05:02.

many Labour MPs who still don't think that he can lead them to a

:05:03.:05:08.

general election victory. This afternoon, former Scottish Secretary

:05:09.:05:12.

Ian Murray, who resigned from the Shadow Cabinet, made it plain that

:05:13.:05:18.

he would only return to the Cabinet if there were elections to that

:05:19.:05:22.

body. Tomorrow, the conference will vote on proposals to give Scottish

:05:23.:05:27.

Labour more autonomy, and give Kezia Dugdale or a representative more

:05:28.:05:32.

power on the body that regulates the whole of the Labour Party, the

:05:33.:05:44.

so-called National Executive Committee. Tonight, sources in

:05:45.:05:46.

Scotland are pretty confident they will win that vote tomorrow. Thank

:05:47.:05:47.

you. And as part of our series

:05:48.:05:50.

of interviews with party leaders, we'll bring you coverage next week

:05:51.:05:52.

from the Conservative Party Eight senior doctors, including

:05:53.:05:55.

the Queen's former surgeon, have been cleared of wrongdoing

:05:56.:05:57.

after a series of investigations The General Medical Council launched

:05:58.:06:00.

the probe after NHS Grampian handed over an internal report

:06:01.:06:04.

into the behaviour of the doctors. Kevin Keane is at

:06:05.:06:06.

Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. These investigations have been

:06:07.:06:21.

rumbling on for the last two years. They focused on senior surgeons and

:06:22.:06:27.

medical staff here at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Among them is the Queen's

:06:28.:06:32.

former surgeon, Professor Zygmunt Krukowski. Seven other people were

:06:33.:06:37.

also investigated, and two reports have been published over that time

:06:38.:06:41.

into their behaviour and practices. One was said to be very critical of

:06:42.:06:47.

all eight individuals, and it was passed by NHS Grampian to the

:06:48.:06:51.

General Medical Council for consideration. They have considered

:06:52.:06:56.

the allegations in that report, and today they have

:06:57.:07:07.

announced they have been cleared of all allegations against them, and

:07:08.:07:11.

the case against all eight individuals has now been closed.

:07:12.:07:13.

This leaves open lots of questions about NHS Grampian's handling of

:07:14.:07:16.

these issues. About that independent report and its findings, and how

:07:17.:07:20.

they seem to contradict what the General Medical Council is now

:07:21.:07:25.

saying, and that ?5 million price tag of these investigations. NHS

:07:26.:07:30.

Grampian say they do not recognise the ?5 million figure, but they will

:07:31.:07:40.

comment on the figure that is associated with it. -- will not

:07:41.:07:45.

comment. Instead they want to focus on the medical service they offer.

:07:46.:07:50.

The Queen's surgeon says he is gratified that the case against him

:07:51.:07:54.

and others is closed, and he thanks his colleagues and patients that

:07:55.:07:58.

their support. But he has now resigned from his post.

:07:59.:08:00.

Divers have today been assessing the damage caused

:08:01.:08:02.

to a Caledonian McBrayne ferry which briefly ran aground and hit

:08:03.:08:05.

the pier as it tried to berth in the Western Isles yesterday.

:08:06.:08:07.

All 76 passengers and crew escaped uninjured after the vessel appeared

:08:08.:08:10.

But the incident has raised local concerns.

:08:11.:08:15.

It was just after 11am yesterday when the MV Hebrides appeared to

:08:16.:08:30.

steam out of control when she approached Lochmaddy peer in North

:08:31.:08:37.

Uist. The ferry struck a number of pontoon is, and then struck the pier

:08:38.:08:42.

before the crew managed to burp her successfully. Eyewitnesses said the

:08:43.:08:46.

vessel had approached the harbour faster than usual, and an operator

:08:47.:08:51.

described the incident as the result of a technical failure. The crew

:08:52.:08:57.

managed to take control of the ship and she safely berthed. There were

:08:58.:09:03.

41 passengers and 31 crew on board, and no one was injured. Divers have

:09:04.:09:09.

assessed the whole of the ship today, and the Marine Accident

:09:10.:09:13.

Investigation Branch has launched its own enquiry. Structural

:09:14.:09:16.

engineers will have two assess the damage to the pier itself. Safety is

:09:17.:09:23.

our number one priority, so we currently have 130,000 sailings per

:09:24.:09:28.

year. We have an incredibly low incidence rate, and that's something

:09:29.:09:30.

we look to maintain day by day as we operate our surfaces.

:09:31.:09:54.

has apparently been caused to a series of pontoon is installed just

:09:55.:09:57.

two years ago by a local group at a cost of hundreds of thousands of

:09:58.:09:59.

pounds. Fortunately, there were no yachts berthed at the section hit by

:10:00.:10:02.

the ferry, but questions are now being asked over the siting of the

:10:03.:10:04.

structure is so close to the ferry terminal. At the time, people were

:10:05.:10:07.

happy with the siting, but I need to find out for sure. These concerns

:10:08.:10:12.

have been raised now. Caledonian McBrayne say they are putting on

:10:13.:10:16.

additional sailings to other routes to try to minimise disruption caused

:10:17.:10:21.

to the Hebrides being forced out of service. They warn that with high

:10:22.:10:26.

winds forecast over the next 48 hours, there could be further delays

:10:27.:10:28.

and cancellations. You're watching BBC

:10:29.:10:31.

Reporting Scotland. Jeremy Corbyn, the newly

:10:32.:10:32.

re-elected Labour Leader, tells us he believes the party can

:10:33.:10:36.

win back support in Scotland. The daily grind of getting

:10:37.:10:39.

to and from work - but which commuter towns

:10:40.:10:43.

are the most affordable? The trial of a bin lorry driver

:10:44.:10:51.

accused of causing the death of an 80-old wheelchair user has

:10:52.:10:55.

heard from a witness about Ian Dick told the High Court

:10:56.:10:57.

in Stirling the scene was "shocking", and not one he ever

:10:58.:11:04.

wished to see again. This is the road where Peter Wills

:11:05.:11:19.

died in December 2014 in Dunblane. He had been out on a motorised

:11:20.:11:24.

wheelchair. Scott Hamilton was driving a bin lorry that day. The

:11:25.:11:30.

prosecution alleged he reversed the lorry into Peter Wills, causing

:11:31.:11:34.

death by dangerous driving. The court heard that Mr Wills suffered

:11:35.:11:40.

head and neck injuries, and a number of broken ribs. Ian Dick told the

:11:41.:11:44.

court he was driving along the road when he found a bin lorry blocking

:11:45.:11:51.

his way. When the lorry reversed, he heard a grating sound. Ian Dick said

:11:52.:11:54.

he then got out and went to have a look. -- the driver got out and went

:11:55.:12:02.

to have a look. When Ian Dick had a look, he saw Mr Wills lying on the

:12:03.:12:06.

ground in a state of serious distress. Scott Hamilton's colleague

:12:07.:12:15.

on the day said there was no need for one on their vehicle, and they

:12:16.:12:19.

both checked their rear-view mirrors. Mr Wills' wife said her

:12:20.:12:27.

husband had very good vision, and could see a car miles away, despite

:12:28.:12:30.

husband had very good vision, and having suffered a stroke. Scott

:12:31.:12:35.

Hamilton denies dangerous driving. The case continues.

:12:36.:12:37.

For a century, councils have been the dominant force

:12:38.:12:39.

But what should their role be in the future?

:12:40.:12:43.

The Scottish government's consulting over just how they should be run

:12:44.:12:45.

It says it wants to give headteachers more powers -

:12:46.:12:49.

but some councils fear it's about centralising control.

:12:50.:12:51.

Our education correspondent Jamie McIvor's been

:12:52.:12:53.

My name is Apollo V. I used to be a god. This child's is exceptional for

:12:54.:13:14.

her age. Her school says many students have been helped by a wide

:13:15.:13:19.

ranging council scheme to help tackle the impact of disadvantage in

:13:20.:13:23.

the area. It is a complex scheme summed up in a simple idea. We took

:13:24.:13:29.

a lot for granted and presumed that children came from a rich

:13:30.:13:34.

environment of literacy when maybe they hadn't. So we go ) to basics

:13:35.:13:42.

and do lots of reading for enjoy men. The local council argues it is

:13:43.:13:47.

to go on playing a big part in local schools. The headteacher here has

:13:48.:13:54.

the power to do the different things she wants to do, sucking the power

:13:55.:13:59.

into the centre, the same way that has happened with other national

:14:00.:14:04.

agencies, and controlled from the Centre. That isn't devolution. That

:14:05.:14:08.

isn't giving teachers or parents more power. The government denies it

:14:09.:14:13.

is centralising, and says there is no plan for schools to leave council

:14:14.:14:19.

control. Councils are responsible for school buildings, employing

:14:20.:14:23.

teachers and deciding how much needs to be spent. The government is

:14:24.:14:28.

looking at change. Our guiding principle for the way schools are

:14:29.:14:33.

run is simple. Decisions will be taken at school level. That is at

:14:34.:14:38.

the heart of this review. We want to empower our teachers and early years

:14:39.:14:42.

workers to make the best decisions for children and young people. They

:14:43.:14:50.

have the expertise we need. The proposals also include regional

:14:51.:14:55.

education board is working across council areas. Councils will now

:14:56.:14:59.

need to argue the case for the practical powers over the schools

:15:00.:15:02.

they want to retain. Decisions are expected in the coming months.

:15:03.:15:06.

A look at other stories from across the country.

:15:07.:15:12.

Workers on Virgin Trains East Coast are to stage a 24-hour strike a week

:15:13.:15:19.

on Thursday in a row over jobs and conditions. The rail Maritime and

:15:20.:15:25.

transport union suspended industrial action in the summer, but the fear

:15:26.:15:32.

over drop losses remains unresolved. Officers investigating the murder of

:15:33.:15:38.

Aberdeenshire pensioner Brian McCann PR2 make a national TV appeal for

:15:39.:15:44.

information tonight. He was brutally attacked at his home on the 11th of

:15:45.:15:49.

March. His brother will make an appeal on the BBC's Crimewatch

:15:50.:15:56.

programme. There seemed to be no apparent reason. Somebody somewhere

:15:57.:16:04.

knows what happened. A team of specialist divers is carrying out a

:16:05.:16:09.

major clean-up of so-called ghost fishing this week. It is the second

:16:10.:16:14.

year in succession that such an operation has taken place. The

:16:15.:16:19.

project aims to clear and recycle equipment that has been lost from

:16:20.:16:23.

boats. North Sea helicopter operators are

:16:24.:16:27.

being urged to do more to introduce recommended safety measures to

:16:28.:16:31.

improve the survival chances of passengers and crew if an aircraft

:16:32.:16:36.

crashes at sea. The Civil Aviation Authority made a series of

:16:37.:16:41.

recommendations more than two years ago following five significant

:16:42.:16:45.

accidents involving offshore helicopters. In a report it says

:16:46.:16:49.

there is currently no specific activity in putting the

:16:50.:16:53.

recommendations in place. Double Olympic gold medal winner

:16:54.:16:58.

Heather Stanning has been given the freedom of Murray following her

:16:59.:17:01.

successful defence of the rowing doubles title at the Rio games. She

:17:02.:17:05.

had the title displayed upon her this afternoon. It is a huge honour

:17:06.:17:13.

to be recognised by the local council. To have the freedom of

:17:14.:17:17.

Murray is amazing. I need to find out what I'm allowed to do!

:17:18.:17:21.

A survey of commuter towns suggests that Motherwell,

:17:22.:17:23.

Greenock and Arbroath are the most affordable.

:17:24.:17:24.

The findings come from a Bank of Scotland study which examined

:17:25.:17:27.

house prices in towns within an hour's journey

:17:28.:17:29.

But a separate survey found that a shorter commute

:17:30.:17:35.

Eastbound the M8 there are delays between junctions two and one at

:17:36.:17:52.

Hermiston gait. The journey to work can have a bearing on where you

:17:53.:17:56.

choose to live. As house prices rise in cities not everyone can afford to

:17:57.:18:01.

set up on near River job is. So what's the best value option within

:18:02.:18:05.

reasonable commuting distance of four example Edinburgh? It is

:18:06.:18:10.

Motherwell which despite being almost 40 miles from the capital has

:18:11.:18:13.

come out as the most affordable commuter town to it and borough. The

:18:14.:18:20.

average house price here is almost ?100,000 less than those in the

:18:21.:18:24.

capital. Rowland lives in Carluke and commutes from Motherwell to

:18:25.:18:30.

work. It's cheaper to live out there, it's nice to be able to

:18:31.:18:35.

commute in, I get to do a lot of reading on the trains that is quite

:18:36.:18:38.

good. It is quicker than driving. It's nice to be able to work in the

:18:39.:18:44.

city but also be able to escape the city. Motherwell tops the affordable

:18:45.:18:50.

commuter town list. Arbroath and Angus was the best value housing for

:18:51.:18:54.

those working in Aberdeen, it is an hour drive but the average house is

:18:55.:18:59.

around ?80,000 less. In the West Greenock was found the most

:19:00.:19:02.

affordable town in commuting distance to Glasgow. The average

:19:03.:19:07.

house price around ?40,000 less than the city. Locals say there are other

:19:08.:19:13.

bonuses. After the hustle and bustle of the city, to be able to escape

:19:14.:19:18.

down, we have a wonderful waterfront. We have a very good

:19:19.:19:25.

housing stock which is not one of the most expensive either in

:19:26.:19:30.

Scotland. There are a lot of people from Glasgow who moved down here

:19:31.:19:32.

into the new apartments and different things like that that they

:19:33.:19:37.

are building up. It's been good. Quite a lot, you know? Good train

:19:38.:19:40.

service and everything like that for them. But it's not just about money.

:19:41.:19:49.

It's about good schools, sense of space, families, but linked to that

:19:50.:19:52.

you need good communication links, road and rail and then it's about

:19:53.:19:56.

getting affordable house that you may not be able to do in the cities.

:19:57.:20:00.

But before you move to the most affordable place there are other

:20:01.:20:04.

factors to consider. Another survey found a shorter journey to work led

:20:05.:20:06.

to increased levels of happiness. Historic environment Scotland said a

:20:07.:20:22.

shuttle bus service was being introduced from Thursday from the

:20:23.:20:28.

visitors centre allowing three tours a day.

:20:29.:20:30.

As you may have heard earlier, one of the world's

:20:31.:20:32.

most famous golfers - Arnold Palmer - has passed away.

:20:33.:20:34.

The R chief executive Martin Slumbers has said

:20:35.:20:37.

he was "a truly iconic figure in sport and global

:20:38.:20:40.

Palmer was warmly received on each and every visit to Scotland,

:20:41.:20:45.

A true legend of sport. Arnold Palmer impressed both with his

:20:46.:21:02.

skills on the course and his gentlemanly conduct off. Amongst his

:21:03.:21:08.

seven majors there were two open titles, one of them here at Royal

:21:09.:21:13.

Troon in 1962. I was stewarding for the club at the time, little flags

:21:14.:21:19.

waved to keep the crowd back and one of the problems was that Arnold

:21:20.:21:23.

Palmer was surrounded by so many people, he had just won at Birkdale

:21:24.:21:27.

the previous year in 1961 and when he came here of course he was the

:21:28.:21:32.

tops in every respect and was a legend even then. A two-time Ryder

:21:33.:21:38.

Cup captain and 16 player he was part of the victorious American team

:21:39.:21:43.

at Muirfield in 1973. In victory or defeat he was a shining example of

:21:44.:21:49.

sportsmanship. He was a legend. Unique marvellous man. It was once

:21:50.:21:58.

said that around the world everybody knows on Palmer. The only person who

:21:59.:22:02.

doesn't is Arnold Palmer himself. Because he didn't quite realise how

:22:03.:22:08.

great a man he was or if he did he kept it very quiet. Perhaps the most

:22:09.:22:11.

iconic images here came in 1995 when kept it very quiet. Perhaps the most

:22:12.:22:16.

he emotionally bid farewell to playing an open Championships at St

:22:17.:22:20.

Andrews. His stature and reputation were recognised with an honorary

:22:21.:22:26.

degree from the University of St Andrews in 2010. Well I was very

:22:27.:22:32.

pleased, very proud to be here and to think of all the things which

:22:33.:22:36.

have happened in 50 years from the first day I walked out on the golf

:22:37.:22:41.

course here at St Andrews, to know, the differences, all the things that

:22:42.:22:46.
