:01:23. > :01:24.changes to the police and prosecution service
:01:25. > :01:27.after mistakes were made by the Crown Office and there
:01:28. > :01:30.was found to be institutional racism within the police -
:01:31. > :01:33.particularly in how they dealt In a moment we'll look at why
:01:34. > :01:38.the conviction took so long to secure, but first our reporter
:01:39. > :01:52.Andrew Black reports on today's After an 18 year fight, the family
:01:53. > :01:59.of Surjit Singh Chhokar said that justice had finally been done. He
:02:00. > :02:05.was a loving son, father and brother who was lucky to have two stubborn
:02:06. > :02:09.parents refuse to be silenced as they fought for justice as a right
:02:10. > :02:14.and not a privilege. His late father always said until his very last
:02:15. > :02:19.breath, that he would have hoped for justice. Whilst the dead cannot cry
:02:20. > :02:25.out for justice, it is the duty of the living to do so for them. And
:02:26. > :02:31.that day has finally come after Ronnie Coulter was convicted of
:02:32. > :02:35.murder. Mr Chokkar was 32 when he died. He was working at this Indian
:02:36. > :02:44.restaurant and also claiming unemployment benefit. He had a flat
:02:45. > :02:52.here and Ronnie Coulter also lived in the same building. As did his
:02:53. > :02:57.nephew, Andrew. On the morning of the 4th of November 1998, Andrew
:02:58. > :03:03.Coulter, jobless and looking for cash to buy alcohol, broke into the
:03:04. > :03:09.flat of Mr Chokkar and still a giro cheque for ?100. After getting his
:03:10. > :03:16.uncle to forge the signature of Mr Chokkar he cashed it at a local post
:03:17. > :03:18.office. The partner of Mr Chokkar Elizabeth Bryce found out what had
:03:19. > :03:23.happened and threatened to call the police. It was a threat which ended
:03:24. > :03:31.in murder. Most of the time Mr Chokkar lived here with Elizabeth
:03:32. > :03:34.Bryce and on the night of the 4th of November Ronnie and Andrew Coulter
:03:35. > :03:38.and a third man, Dean Montgomerie, travelled here to meet Mr Chokkar
:03:39. > :03:41.coming home from work. There was a confrontation in the street that
:03:42. > :03:47.ended with Ronnie Coulter stabbing Mr Chokkar to death. Ronnie Coulter
:03:48. > :03:53.was tried and acquitted of murder in 1999. The following year Andrew
:03:54. > :03:57.Coulter and David Montgomerie were also found not guilty of the crime.
:03:58. > :04:01.Coulter and David Montgomerie were There was criticism of how the case
:04:02. > :04:05.was handled, one report found institutional racism within the
:04:06. > :04:09.police. Today officers said the lessons learned from the original
:04:10. > :04:13.case have vastly improved the way that things are done. We need to
:04:14. > :04:20.make sure these things never happen again. In terms of this type of
:04:21. > :04:26.dashed investigation, it is only the second case of double jeopardy. But
:04:27. > :04:30.also we need to learn how we deal with families. Ronnie Coulter once
:04:31. > :04:34.also we need to learn how we deal boasted of getting away with the
:04:35. > :04:35.perfect murder. Now he faces a life term when he is sentenced later this
:04:36. > :04:38.month. Ronnie Coulter's re-trial was only
:04:39. > :04:40.the second time that double jeopardy rules have been used to try someone
:04:41. > :04:44.previously acquitted of a crime. Our Home Affairs correspondent
:04:45. > :04:46.Reevel Alderson reports on the long journey to convict Ronnie Coulter
:04:47. > :04:49.and the toll it has taken on the family of Surjit Singh
:04:50. > :05:03.Chhokar. It has been very hard for us
:05:04. > :05:07.especially my mum and dad. This is the third trial, my dad died waiting
:05:08. > :05:11.for this trial date to come, sadly he could not make it. And he died
:05:12. > :05:18.last year in October. Almost a year before. Just over four months after
:05:19. > :05:23.his death, Ronnie Coulter was acquitted of the murder of Mr
:05:24. > :05:27.Chokkar, he had blamed his nephew Andrew and David Montgomerie. The
:05:28. > :05:29.trial judge Lord McCluskey, a former prosecutor, attacked the crime for
:05:30. > :05:33.not putting all three in the dock. He said I cannot begin to understand
:05:34. > :05:37.how it happened and shall be taking steps to see if I can discover what
:05:38. > :05:43.the reason was for the course that was taken. The Lord advocate
:05:44. > :05:46.insisted it had been correct to prosecute only Ronnie Coulter but
:05:47. > :05:51.legal experts said was a difficult decision. One reason why it was a
:05:52. > :05:55.failure was the police were criticised for not sufficiently
:05:56. > :06:00.investigating sufficiently rigorously. So this time with the
:06:01. > :06:02.passage of time there has been further police investigations and
:06:03. > :06:06.new witnesses coming forward which has allowed the conviction to be
:06:07. > :06:10.secured in this case. Two years after the murder of the other men,
:06:11. > :06:13.Andrew Coulter and David Montgomerie, were also acquitted of
:06:14. > :06:18.murder having faced a separate trial. In return they had blamed
:06:19. > :06:22.Ronnie Coulter. In 2001 a review of prosecution decisions in the case by
:06:23. > :06:27.senior Northern Ireland judge said all three men should have been
:06:28. > :06:33.indicted together. The Lord Advocate told MSP is the Crown had failed the
:06:34. > :06:38.family. The family have a genuine sense of grievance that justice has
:06:39. > :06:42.not been done. Of course no prosecution service can never
:06:43. > :06:46.guarantee a conviction. And as a society we must never expect results
:06:47. > :06:50.in individual cases. Nevertheless the fact is we did not give
:06:51. > :06:54.ourselves the best shot of prosecution. To that extent the
:06:55. > :07:00.family's grievance that justice was not done by the prosecution is well
:07:01. > :07:03.founded. It was another 14 years before Ronnie Coulter was again
:07:04. > :07:06.invited under new double jeopardy laws and today Ronnie Coulter was
:07:07. > :07:09.finally convicted despite having once more blamed his nephew and
:07:10. > :07:14.David Montgomerie for the killing. But there was no celebration for the
:07:15. > :07:19.family. It is not going to be a happy occasion for us, all we want
:07:20. > :07:24.is justice done for my brother and my family. That is all we're looking
:07:25. > :07:28.for. The person who murdered my brother, we would like to see him
:07:29. > :07:34.behind bars for the punishment he has done for his crime. That is all
:07:35. > :07:38.we want. There's no celebration, no happiness for us because we have
:07:39. > :07:43.lost a member of the family. All we are looking for is justice.

:08:15. > :08:18.people. She has been basking in the recent electoral success of Scottish
:08:19. > :08:22.Conservatives and told delegates what you would be urging Nicola
:08:23. > :08:27.Sturgeon to do. Instead of picking endless fights with Westminster,
:08:28. > :08:33.pick a fight with poor literacy and numerous these standards in Scottish
:08:34. > :08:36.schools. They can fight with the health chiefs. You are elected to
:08:37. > :08:41.improve the lives of people in our country. And a message on
:08:42. > :08:45.independence. You have seen Nicola Sturgeon on the television most
:08:46. > :08:49.weeks telling you Scotland is up in arms again. Threatening the break-up
:08:50. > :08:54.of Britain, asserting independence is closer now than ever before.
:08:55. > :09:00.Declaring that separation is somehow inevitable. Today speaking to people
:09:01. > :09:07.across the UK, I want to make this clear. Do not believe a word of it.

:09:11. > :09:15.seven conference and although Brexit has been a key scene, there has been
:09:16. > :09:19.plenty of support for the union and opposition to another independence
:09:20. > :09:24.bill. A message that continues as Theresa May set out her vision for
:09:25. > :09:27.Britain. I will always fight to preserve our proud historic union
:09:28. > :09:34.and will never let divisive nationalists drive us apart. Nicola
:09:35. > :09:39.Sturgeon things Theresa May's vision for Brexit Britain is deeply upbeat,
:09:40. > :09:41.she branded immigration proposals hugely worrying. The Prime Minister
:09:42. > :09:47.insisted change would come but promised it would work for all. My
:09:48. > :09:50.vision is for Britain to be a great meritocracy, what I have always
:09:51. > :09:55.believed in, the cause of everything I have ever done in politics because
:09:56. > :10:02.a country based on merit and not privilege is a country that is fair.
:10:03. > :10:05.That is the message they hope will emerge from this conference. And one

:10:14. > :10:16.Our political editor Brian Taylor joins me.
:10:17. > :10:18.Brian, it was endorsed by Holyrood's local government committee,
:10:19. > :10:32.Not without contention as you say. The greens for example wanted a
:10:33. > :10:36.full-scale revaluation of property with a more radical change to local
:10:37. > :10:38.authority finance systems. The Conservatives were unhappy that
:10:39. > :10:42.authority finance systems. The money raised locally would not stay
:10:43. > :10:50.with local authorities would be going directly to schools under this
:10:51. > :10:54.programme. But the Finance Secretary Derek Mackay took a cautious
:10:55. > :10:58.approach and said it was right and proportionate and balance. In
:10:59. > :11:03.practice this will mean that they have changed the rules, next year
:11:04. > :11:14.there will be a higher imposition on the top for council tax bands. In
:11:15. > :11:18.the top band it will cost ?570 more. And for the vast bulk of people they
:11:19. > :11:24.will not see any particular change permits Derek Mackay is many things
:11:25. > :11:28.but one thing he appears to be is a student of history. He knows a
:11:29. > :11:29.substantial overhaul of local government finance tends not to end
:11:30. > :11:30.well. Scots scientist Sir Fraser Stoddart
:11:31. > :11:33.is among three recipients of this It has been awarded for his work
:11:34. > :11:38.developing molecular machines. The machines are a thousand times

:12:04. > :12:11.the things that came across from him is just how, what a nice individual
:12:12. > :12:14.he is. He is a very kind man. And he was inspiring, he gave a
:12:15. > :12:16.presentation to all postgrad students and researchers and they
:12:17. > :12:18.were inspired. The Scottish government's set

:12:30. > :12:43.at a time of financial efficiencies? Community support in West Lothian
:12:44. > :12:46.where more local policing is welcomed. I think in previous years
:12:47. > :12:48.we have seen a shift away from community policing and it is good to
:12:49. > :12:53.see it back. It is about prevention, community policing and it is good to
:12:54. > :12:57.if we have officers on the ground below the people and the community
:12:58. > :13:01.and people know them, they build up trust and that strengthens the

:20:35. > :20:38.it and where we are as a club. Polished promotional videos tell
:20:39. > :20:43.their own story about the opponents, women's football in Germany is
:20:44. > :20:45.thriving, successful and professional, just ask the Scot who
:20:46. > :20:52.made the switch their four years ago. This is one of the strongest
:20:53. > :20:56.leagues in Europe, I think I've said that before and I think Scottish
:20:57. > :21:00.football has definitely grown. You can see that in the way that our
:21:01. > :21:04.national team has developed and given that we've qualified for the
:21:05. > :21:09.Euro is ever the first time in history. Evidence of improvement
:21:10. > :21:13.perhaps but what of growth? According to Scottish women's
:21:14. > :21:19.football in 2014 there were 68 teams, that has now risen to 126.
:21:20. > :21:28.They say by 2020 they want that to rise further, to 431. Total players
:21:29. > :21:32.registered, over 10,000. There are so many countries playing
:21:33. > :21:37.professionally. But we need to keep our best talent here, and do more to
:21:38. > :21:41.do that, according to one experienced coach. The figure is
:21:42. > :21:44.more than 20 playing out of Scotland, in one sense it is great
:21:45. > :21:47.for the national team because those players are playing in a
:21:48. > :21:52.professional environment against the very best players. However
:21:53. > :21:56.domestically that can be problematic for our game because in essence it
:21:57. > :22:02.perhaps dilutes a bit of the quality. A balancing act in the
:22:03. > :22:04.search for success. Kris Laughlin, Reporting Scotland.
:22:05. > :22:07.Two young Scots golfers make their European Tour debuts tomorrow
:22:08. > :22:16.But as well as competing with some of the world's best players they'll
:22:17. > :22:18.be rubbing shoulders with stars of stage, screen
:22:19. > :22:30.The old course at Saint Andrews, one of the three venues in the next

:22:39. > :22:43.golfers like the US Masters champion Danny Willett. But Michael Ronan
:22:44. > :22:48.Keating. This year that two rookie Scots professionals taking part. The
:22:49. > :22:53.first is this 20-year-old from Glasgow. For the last ten years I've
:22:54. > :22:57.watched it on TV thinking I want to be there, I want to play against
:22:58. > :23:02.them. All of a sudden I am playing against them and it seems bizarre to
:23:03. > :23:06.be sitting beside them on the range. Also teeing up will be this
:23:07. > :23:10.23-year-old from East Lothian. Miz it's a big event to start your
:23:11. > :23:13.professional career on. You obviously hope to play well. Messi
:23:14. > :23:36.but the main thing is to go out and enjoy it and make the most of the
:23:37. > :23:39.experience. It is fair to say, however, there is a difference in
:23:40. > :23:42.the scale of the ambitions of our two Rockies. To be a top 50 player
:23:43. > :23:44.in the world and play on the PGA Tour and the European tour, all that
:23:45. > :23:47.stuff would be so call. Being there today is just making me hungry,
:23:48. > :23:50.making me want to be a European tour golfer full-time. I've got to school
:23:51. > :23:52.coming this year so hopefully I will walk out this season with a tour
:23:53. > :23:54.coming this year so hopefully I will card. If there are any nerves on the
:23:55. > :23:58.tee from the new boys at the Dunhill links they want to be alone.
:23:59. > :24:02.Practice and practice and get ready and as soon as you stand up and
:24:03. > :24:06.there's an audience it cripples you. That is the hardest part. If you can
:24:07. > :24:10.get over the nerves, the game is their but the nerves kill me. A
:24:11. > :24:15.decent shot but Ronan Keating will their but the nerves kill me. A

:24:22. > :24:22.maybe the two Scottish rookies will. David Curry, Reporting Scotland, St

:24:37. > :24:43.Labour's lawn but does anyone really believe the Tories are now the party

:24:51. > :25:01.talking about that and other stories at 10:30pm. No time for the weather.
:25:02. > :25:05.A beautiful day for many, if we look at the satellite image we began with
:25:06. > :25:09.cloud and then it started thinning to allow more sunshine to end the
:25:10. > :25:14.day. The lion's share of the sunshine in the north-west, there
:25:15. > :25:20.wasn't a cloud in the sky for some areas, this beautiful weather
:25:21. > :25:24.pictures sent in, tonight and picked at 18 Celsius across the sky

:25:56. > :26:00.we will see much more sunshine developing especially by afternoon.
:26:01. > :26:05.The best of which again across the north-west of the country. The wins
:26:06. > :26:09.will use a little. A lot of sunshine over Shetland, the wind still fresh
:26:10. > :26:15.for Orkney and the coast but elsewhere towards the north-west
:26:16. > :26:21.temperatures could reach 16 or 17 degrees a game. Elsewhere, 14
