The Glasgow East MP Natalie McGarry has been charged

:00:00.:00:13.

The first shipment of shale gas to the UK

:00:14.:00:16.

arrives at Grangemouth but can't dock because

:00:17.:00:19.

These people are queuing to get on the patients'

:00:20.:00:21.

I will say that they are very non-compassionate. All the trying to

:00:22.:00:33.

do is register. What are we supposed to do?

:00:34.:00:34.

We look at the impact of Scotland's GP crisis.

:00:35.:00:36.

Also on the programme, the Queen visits Ballater to see how

:00:37.:00:40.

it's recovering from the severe floods earlier this year.

:00:41.:00:44.

And the Olympic champion Callum Skinner says he's

:00:45.:00:47.

released his medical records to prove he's a clean athlete.

:00:48.:01:04.

Police have charged the Glasgow East MP Natalie McGarry

:01:05.:01:09.

Ms McGarry has been under investigation after the Women

:01:10.:01:14.

for Independence campaign group reported discrepancies

:01:15.:01:17.

The MP stood down from the SNP group at Westminster last year but always

:01:18.:01:27.

A report will now go to the Procurator Fiscal.

:01:28.:01:30.

Our political editor Brian Taylor has more details.

:01:31.:01:33.

Natalie McGarry, Scottish National party, 24,000... Cheering. Triumph,

:01:34.:01:45.

Natalie McGarry ousted Margaret Curran of Labour in Glasgow East at

:01:46.:01:50.

the UK general election. It was part of a clean sweep for the SNP in

:01:51.:01:53.

the UK general election. It was part Glasgow. Natalie McGarry was at

:01:54.:01:56.

Nicola Sturgeon's side to celebrate that success. And the sense of

:01:57.:02:01.

uplift continued when McGarry made her maiden speech in the House of

:02:02.:02:05.

Commons. I am privileged to be here, serving the people of Glasgow East.

:02:06.:02:10.

I was swept here on a tide of optimism. That tide seemed to turn

:02:11.:02:16.

when concerns were raised about funding within the campaign group

:02:17.:02:19.

Women for Independence. Natalie McGarry was a leading member. As

:02:20.:02:23.

Women for Independence. Natalie those concerns emerged, Miss McGarry

:02:24.:02:26.

resigned the whip in December last year, determined, she said, to clear

:02:27.:02:31.

her name. Although no longer part of the SNP she has remained the Glasgow

:02:32.:02:36.

East MP. She even more her wedding dress for a Commons photo shoot of

:02:37.:02:41.

female MPs after having her marriage blessed in a historic chapel at

:02:42.:02:45.

Westminster. Enquiries continued and her solicitor said his client

:02:46.:02:50.

attended the police station this morning on a voluntary basis. He

:02:51.:02:55.

said following an interview the MP was charged with several alleged

:02:56.:02:58.

offences including embezzlement of funds, breach of trust, and an

:02:59.:03:03.

offence under the Scottish independence referendum act 2013.

:03:04.:03:08.

That is the statute which set out the rules for the referendum of

:03:09.:03:13.

2014. It is understood the charges against Natalie McGarry relate both

:03:14.:03:16.

to women for independence and to the SNP Glasgow regional Association.

:03:17.:03:21.

From the outset the MP has stressed her innocence.

:03:22.:03:23.

The first shipment of shale gas has arrived in Scotland from the USA.

:03:24.:03:27.

It was destined for the Ineos refinery at Grangemouth,

:03:28.:03:31.

but the tanker carrying it was unable to dock

:03:32.:03:33.

The company says the shale gas, produced using the controversial

:03:34.:03:36.

fracking technique, will replace dwindling North Sea supplies.

:03:37.:03:42.

Fracking isn't currently taking place in Scotland,

:03:43.:03:45.

while studies take place to examine the potential impact of the process.

:03:46.:03:48.

Environmental groups are criticising the shipment.

:03:49.:03:50.

Here's our environment correspondent, Kevin Keane.

:03:51.:03:58.

A new dawn breaks over the North Sea. And a traditional water solute

:03:59.:04:04.

welcomes the first shipment of shale gas to the UK. On the tip of the

:04:05.:04:11.

bow, a lone piper heralds the arrival of this controversial

:04:12.:04:17.

delivery. The petrochemical giant receiving it says it is necessary

:04:18.:04:20.

for jobs. It's cost effective today, and looking forward it will take

:04:21.:04:25.

some time to develop the shale gas industry in the UK. When that comes

:04:26.:04:29.

that's going to be a benefit. In the meantime we will secure jobs to get

:04:30.:04:33.

the business running. Ships come and go along the Firth of Forth but this

:04:34.:04:37.

one was always going to attract attention. And this is the iconic

:04:38.:04:43.

scene it's all about. 27,500 cubic metres of shale gas about to

:04:44.:04:47.

disappear under the Forth Bridge on its way to Grangemouth. The

:04:48.:04:52.

controversial shipment was meant to arrive at the quayside with a

:04:53.:04:57.

fanfare, but high winds meant it didn't stop. When it's finally

:04:58.:05:00.

off-loaded, the eating will be fed into the many miles of pipes here,

:05:01.:05:05.

ultimately coming out as small plastic pellets Manufacturing. A

:05:06.:05:10.

Scottish minister was there to greet the sheet -- no Scottish minister

:05:11.:05:14.

was there to greet the chip today, they are keeping their distance

:05:15.:05:17.

while the policy on fracking is considered. It is important that we

:05:18.:05:24.

have a moratorium in place while we in Scotland understand the science

:05:25.:05:29.

behind the proposed technology. It's not for the UK Government to tell

:05:30.:05:33.

the Scottish Government what to do on this issue. We are clear on our

:05:34.:05:37.

policy position in the rest of the UK. We believe there is significant

:05:38.:05:42.

economic benefit that can come from fracking, but in Scotland it is a

:05:43.:05:45.

matter for the Scottish Government. In the States shale gas has boosted

:05:46.:05:49.

the economy but not without controversy. Seismic tremors and

:05:50.:05:52.

water pollution among the issues some have felt. No fracking! No

:05:53.:06:02.

fracking! Here protesters gathered, albeit in small numbers, to reflect

:06:03.:06:06.

those concerns. The impacts of fracking are devastating wherever it

:06:07.:06:10.

happens, and the refrain of the global anti-fracking movement is not

:06:11.:06:13.

here, not anywhere. For now the shale gas ship remains anchored in

:06:14.:06:19.

the first. It will make a fresh attempt to dog on tonight's high

tide. More than quarter of the jobs

:06:21.:06:23.

supported by Britain's oil and gas That's according to

:06:24.:06:26.

the industry's own figures. With the sharp fall in the price

:06:27.:06:29.

of oil, spending and new investment So that's left the question,

:06:30.:06:32.

will the North Sea industry be ready to grow again when this

:06:33.:06:37.

downturn is over? Here's our business and economy

:06:38.:06:40.

editor, Douglas Fraser. The past two years have brought

:06:41.:06:48.

a big financial storm With the oil price well under half

:06:49.:06:51.

of its level until 2014, firms have The cost of producing the average

:06:52.:06:58.

barrel of oil is down The numbers directly employed have

:06:59.:07:02.

fallen from 42,000 to 34,000 - four in every five of them

:07:03.:07:08.

based in Scotland. But it's the supply chain and those

:07:09.:07:10.

who benefit from its spending that The total number supported

:07:11.:07:13.

by the oil and gas industry down from 450,000 two years ago,

:07:14.:07:23.

to 330,000 this year - nearly two out of every five

:07:24.:07:31.

of that total in Scotland. Those lower costs should

:07:32.:07:34.

help to make more projects But firms are reducing the number

:07:35.:07:36.

of projects in their business plans. And exploration is down to only six

:07:37.:07:42.

wells sunk so far this year. So for every barrel newly

:07:43.:07:47.

discovered, four are being extracted If you don't have the investment,

:07:48.:08:03.

you don't have the exploration, you don't have to development, it

:08:04.:08:06.

obviously leads into a drop in production in coming years. So we

:08:07.:08:09.

think we'll see production continuing to go up because of

:08:10.:08:14.

previous investment and efficiency improvements but it's the question

:08:15.:08:17.

of what then after those years, we've gone through those years.

:08:18.:08:20.

Just before the oil price plummeted, the offshore industry was seeing

:08:21.:08:22.

As a result of that, we're now seeing output rise, a bit.

:08:23.:08:28.

That's after steep falls from the peak, 16 years ago.

:08:29.:08:36.

That's expected to level off soon and to fall unless those stranded

:08:37.:08:39.

reserves are brought on-stream and new fields are found.

:08:40.:08:41.

As for the tax take, ?330 billion has been paid to the UK

:08:42.:08:44.

But because there's now very little profit, the tax on profits

:08:45.:08:53.

Scottish Labour is to get new powers to set its own policy and send

:08:54.:09:02.

a representative to the party's UK Executive.

:09:03.:09:05.

The measures were agreed at the party's conference

:09:06.:09:11.

in Liverpool, despite claims part of the package was undemocratic.

:09:12.:09:14.

From Liverpool, here's our political correspondent Nick Eardley.

:09:15.:09:17.

A vote she hopes will help Scottish Labour on the road to recovery. But

:09:18.:09:26.

a victory that didn't come easy. One that brought the party's power

:09:27.:09:31.

struggle to the fore. After days of wrangling, a final heated row over

:09:32.:09:34.

whether Mr Dale should get a seat on the UK executive. The package going

:09:35.:09:40.

forth will gerrymander the NEC and allow for the decision made at the

:09:41.:09:50.

weekend to be vetoed. That contested by Ms Dugdale's allies. An

:09:51.:09:56.

opportunity to close the door on our allies who make the accusation that

:09:57.:09:59.

Scottish Labour cannot talk for Scotland. A challenge that

:10:00.:10:04.

ultimately ended in failure. Resolution one on NEC will changes

:10:05.:10:07.

was carried. This is about more than who has a say on which body within

:10:08.:10:12.

the Labour Party. The Scottish party spent years trying to fend off

:10:13.:10:15.

claims that it's controlled by London. And after days of wrangling

:10:16.:10:21.

here in Liverpool, this is a victory for cosier Dugdale. She's got the

:10:22.:10:23.

autonomy she craves and she has more of a say on what happens UK wide. It

:10:24.:10:29.

delighted Ms Dugdale says she'll take the seat on the executive

:10:30.:10:34.

herself. It's the biggest change to how the Labour Party organises

:10:35.:10:37.

itself in a generation and it's been a long time coming. How do you

:10:38.:10:41.

persuade the country to vote for you? I understand to a lot of people

:10:42.:10:46.

this might seem like nasal gave in, internal to the Labour Party, but it

:10:47.:10:51.

is clear that the Labour Party speaks up for Scotland and put

:10:52.:10:54.

Scotland's first. Tomorrow this man will be beating the drum for his

:10:55.:10:58.

policies, but how closely will that be echoed by the Scottish party?

:10:59.:11:02.

A bin lorry driver has admitted causing the death of an 80-year-old

:11:03.:11:06.

Scott Hamilton reversed a Stirling Council recycling lorry

:11:07.:11:14.

into a mobility scooter used by Peter Wills.

:11:15.:11:16.

At the High Court in Stirling, the 44-year-old was banned

:11:17.:11:19.

from driving immediately and will be sentenced in October.

:11:20.:11:21.

The offence carries a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment.

:11:22.:11:31.

Do we have a crisis in keeping doctors in general practice?

:11:32.:11:33.

It's a question Holyrood's Health and Sport Committee

:11:34.:11:35.

Since June 2014, more than 100 GPs have left the service.

:11:36.:11:44.

That's left more than one in four practices with vacancies for GPs.

:11:45.:11:48.

Doctors say spending on GP services has fallen over the past ten years

:11:49.:11:53.

Well, the Health Secretary set out to MSPs her vision

:11:54.:12:01.

Our social affairs correspondent Reevel Alderson has been

:12:02.:12:06.

It Tuesday this GP surgery in Edinburgh offers a handful of places

:12:07.:12:17.

on its patient list. Each week dozens are turned away. I think it's

:12:18.:12:23.

quite degrading a wee bit, making people have to queue to sign up.

:12:24.:12:27.

When really you should be able to walk in when you want to register.

:12:28.:12:31.

It's the third unsuccessful attempt to join the practice for this

:12:32.:12:36.

partially sighted woman. I will say they are very uncompassionate. All

:12:37.:12:41.

we are trying to is register. What are we supposed to do? So is it a GP

:12:42.:12:47.

crisis? Doctors leaders say the shortage of GPs is affecting the

:12:48.:12:52.

wider NHS. It will mean more pressure on hospital services,

:12:53.:12:55.

particularly accident and emergency. It means it's increasingly difficult

:12:56.:12:59.

for patients to register with practice. We are beginning to see a

:13:00.:13:03.

situation where lack of GPs mean there may not be a GP available

:13:04.:13:10.

outside of hours. The Royal College of General practitioners has

:13:11.:13:13.

launched a campaign to persuade more medical students like these at

:13:14.:13:14.

Aberdeen University to join the medical students like these at

:13:15.:13:19.

profession, emphasising its not second-best to working in hospital.

:13:20.:13:23.

I don't really know what it is about community medicine, it's something

:13:24.:13:26.

you have to be passionate about to want to do. I suppose you'd probably

:13:27.:13:31.

get to know your patients are a lot better in community medicine but I

:13:32.:13:34.

don't know. I liked the idea that you get to do a bit of everything

:13:35.:13:40.

and build a community, build up a relationship with your patients,

:13:41.:13:44.

follow progress. People, families, stuff like that. The GP crisis is

:13:45.:13:49.

especially Knute Imro areas like Shetland. Here patients can be seen

:13:50.:13:54.

by an advanced nurse practitioner who can diagnose, prescribe and

:13:55.:13:58.

treat them without them seeing a surgery. It cuts down my costs,

:13:59.:14:06.

obviously, and probably, I would think, cuts down on the National

:14:07.:14:10.

Health Service costs. Because Chris, our community nurse, can come along

:14:11.:14:12.

and check me at his convenience and our community nurse, can come along

:14:13.:14:16.

mind. It's part of a new approach to government has developed to free up

:14:17.:14:20.

GP time which is also seen as beneficial for patients. It's about

:14:21.:14:24.

the choice and a better environment to be seen in. I see the patients in

:14:25.:14:30.

their own homes which is a safe and friendly environment. The other

:14:31.:14:32.

option is for them to go and visit their GPs. If we see them in their

:14:33.:14:38.

own home it frees up GP time. It is all about cost and feasibility.

:14:39.:14:43.

Nurses, pharmacists and other specialists are being recruited to

:14:44.:14:47.

work in GP practices, which the government says is part of an

:14:48.:14:49.

increased investment in primary care.

Our reporter Andrew Anderson is in the town tonight.

:15:20.:15:27.

Can tell you it's a blustery old night here in Ballater, but nothing

:15:28.:15:34.

like it was when Storm Frank hit here back in December. That will

:15:35.:15:39.

live long in the memory of many people here, memories they've been

:15:40.:15:40.

sharing today with the Queen. A neighbour has come to call by

:15:41.:15:49.

Royal Appointment. First stop, the Ballater butchers, one of the

:15:50.:15:54.

businesses badly hit by last December's storm. The Queen listened

:15:55.:15:58.

intently. Many in this town have stories to tell of the day the

:15:59.:16:01.

waters came taking their homes and businesses. We were flooded out. We

:16:02.:16:09.

were closed ford 13 weeks. As other businesses go, 13 weeks was a short

:16:10.:16:12.

period of time. We pushed hard to get up and running again. The Queen

:16:13.:16:17.

met the owners of a gift shop, they had only opened weeks before the

do that. She went on to ask about how the business was trading now.

Storm Frank won't are forgotten here for a while. The community rallied

:16:46.:16:50.

around, everyone lending a hand. As winter approaches, images like this

will be playing on the mind of some in this community. Where the Queen

importantly, lives. Elected residents of Ballater will be hoping

:17:46.:17:52.

Christmas is quieter this year. Ballater was one of a number of

:17:53.:17:56.

communities across Scotland that found themselves flooded out at the

:17:57.:17:58.

turn of the year. We are being warned to expect more weather like

:17:59.:18:04.

that in the years ahead. A Committee on Climate Change today called on

:18:05.:18:07.

the Scottish Government to urgently review how well prepared the country

:18:08.:18:10.

is for extreme weather. The Government's response is that it has

:18:11.:18:19.

ambitions plans in place to ensure Scotland is protected from flooding

The Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers, has revealed that Craig Gordon

:23:27.:23:28.

will start in goal in tomorrow night's Champions League qualifier

:23:29.:23:31.

Celtic will be determined to put on a better show after their 7-0

:23:32.:23:35.

defeat away to Barcelona in the first Group game.

:23:36.:23:37.

Here's our senior football reporter, Chris McLaughlin.

The they day before a huge game and a manager with a lottenen os had

yous mind. No goal keeping dilemma though. This goal for Kilmarnock at

the weekend did little to damage Celtic, who scored six in reply. It

:23:56.:24:01.

injured the manager's number one. He isn't 100% obviously after the

:24:02.:24:05.

weekend. He has trained and worked with the team. There is no need for

:24:06.:24:10.

us to take any risk in a game like here when I've got an outstanding

:24:11.:24:13.

goalkeeper beside him. Craig will play. He will play in a side looking

:24:14.:24:19.

to make amends for a 7-0 thrashing in Spain two weeks ago. We have to

:24:20.:24:23.

get that out of mind early doors. Believe that we are good enough to

:24:24.:24:26.

be in the competition. Good enough to get something at home, especially

:24:27.:24:31.

in front of those fans when they are supporting us. It's incredible, to

:24:32.:24:35.

be perfectly honest, in Champions League nights. It's where this club

:24:36.:24:39.

deserves to be. It's where their opponents believe they deserve to

be, Manchester City's multi pound players have their sights on winning

the competition. The opposing side would choose to trien here, but

:24:50.:24:52.

Manchester City trained at home this morning. It's a squad bursting with

:24:53.:24:58.

confidence because, if they win here tomorrow evening, they set a club

record of 11 con sective wins at the start of a season. For Celtic,

Barcelona was tough, but in the Champions League they huge matches

just keep coming. Let's get the weather forecast now,

:25:11.:25:15.

and Christopher Blanchett is here. Hi. Thank you very much. If I could

:25:16.:25:25.

sum up the weather over the next few days with one ward, the word would

be, "windy." Low pressure sweeping eastwards to the north of Scotland,

see a spell of wet weather arriving. It's edging in from the south-west

Very windy. That is the forecast. Thank you very much.

:27:21.:27:25.

Now, a reminder of tonight's main news.

:27:26.:27:27.

Police have charged the Glasgow East MP, Natalie McGarry,

:27:28.:27:29.

The MP stood down from the SNP group at Westminster last year,

:27:30.:27:34.

The company which operates the Alton Towers theme park has been

:27:35.:27:39.

fined ?5 million for last year's roller-coaster crash,

:27:40.:27:41.

which resulted in two young women having legs amputated.

:27:42.:27:47.

I'll be back with the headlines at 8.00pm and the late bulletin just

:27:48.:27:51.

Until then, from everyone on the team - right

:27:52.:27:55.

across the country - have a very good evening.
