Gay men who were accused of homosexuality before laws were

:00:00.:01:37.

scrapped will be pardoned. There are also plans to remove this from

:01:38.:01:41.

police records. This is from our political editor, Brian Taylor.

:01:42.:01:45.

Same-sex matter for celebration. Gay activist

:01:46.:01:56.

Derek Hogg says it is a wonderful act of reconciliation but he

:01:57.:01:59.

remembers a very different time in Scotland before the law was changed.

:02:00.:02:05.

Working-class gay men in Scotland where the fire to come out, they

:02:06.:02:11.

faced physical brutality and shaming and ostracism from their community.

:02:12.:02:14.

Middle-class professional people lost their professional status. It

:02:15.:02:18.

was a catastrophe in the lives of people and of course just the

:02:19.:02:23.

silence of living with that sense of guilt year after year after year

:02:24.:02:28.

drove many people to suicide to, the self harm come to drink and drugs.

:02:29.:02:32.

At Holyrood, the Justice Secretary put it simply. We must right this

:02:33.:02:37.

At Holyrood, the Justice Secretary wrong. He explained how. Will want

:02:38.:02:43.

to produce an automatic pardoned for people convicted so they know they

:02:44.:02:45.

are absolved fully of that conviction. We want to address the

:02:46.:02:50.

injustice that people experience in the because of their sexual

:02:51.:02:56.

orientation. There will also be moves to disregard such conviction

:02:57.:03:00.

and inform police records. In England, different reform is under

:03:01.:03:03.

way following the posthumous pardon granted to Alan Turing, the wartime

:03:04.:03:09.

computer code breaker. There is a long history here, while sexual acts

:03:10.:03:14.

between women were not specifically outlawed, it was 1980, 13 years

:03:15.:03:18.

after England, before gay sex was legalised in Scotland with men aged

:03:19.:03:25.

over 21. In 1994, the age of consent was registered to 18, then the 16 in

:03:26.:03:32.

2001, creating equality. The first same-sex marriage in Scotland was at

:03:33.:03:37.

the end of 2014. Today's announcement won cross-party

:03:38.:03:42.

the end of 2014. Today's support. That is a hugely welcome

:03:43.:03:47.

announcement, in fact nothing short of an historic moment for Scotland

:03:48.:03:50.

to be a more equal and respectful country. Both Kezia Dougdale and

:03:51.:03:55.

Patrick Harvie raised the issue of a formal apology for past laws. While

:03:56.:04:03.

many welcome a pardon, others take from it they are being forgiven for

:04:04.:04:07.

having done something wrong. The Cabinet Secretary promised to look

:04:08.:04:10.

seriously at that issue in the pardoned law is introduced.

:04:11.:04:16.

Plans for the expansion of Heathrow's third runway has been

:04:17.:04:18.

welcomed by the Scottish Government, Scottish airports and businesses

:04:19.:04:21.

who want to see improved options for air connections.

:04:22.:04:23.

But environmentalists are warning it's a backward step.

:04:24.:04:25.

So what are the implications of this project?

:04:26.:04:27.

Here's our Business and Economy Editor, Douglas Fraser.

:04:28.:04:39.

One product you don't have two F rate the market. This patch will be

:04:40.:04:46.

ready about the time the next Heathrow runway comes into use. This

:04:47.:04:50.

distillery near Inverness has trouble requirements. Frustrated by

:04:51.:04:57.

London's airport bottleneck. It is not that important for us to get out

:04:58.:05:00.

because we know how to get out, but for distributors and their customers

:05:01.:05:07.

coming in, they need a smooth transition, and Heathrow usually is

:05:08.:05:11.

the airport of choice. London has lots of airport capacity but not

:05:12.:05:15.

enough where it's needed, at Heathrow and Gatwick. That is where

:05:16.:05:18.

feeder flights can link to the world, but what about the noise, say

:05:19.:05:23.

Heathrow's neighbours, and aircraft emissions? The concerns are that we

:05:24.:05:30.

received a significant increase, 70% by 2030. It will increase pollution,

:05:31.:05:34.

make the demands that the planet is facing, carbon emissions, even more

:05:35.:05:39.

stark. Frei Scottish airports link with Heathrow but the British

:05:40.:05:40.

Airways monopolies wishes prices up. Airways monopolies wishes prices up.

:05:41.:05:49.

-- pushes prices up. Not the setting has come at an economic cost, while

:05:50.:05:53.

other global hubs have been grabbing market share. We need to have this

:05:54.:05:57.

as soon as possible. Because of the delays we have had over many years,

:05:58.:06:01.

what you are seeing is further development in western Europe, and

:06:02.:06:04.

in Dubai and Istanbul, and that isn't the cost of the UK. After

:06:05.:06:09.

consultation and potential legal challenges, a hard-fought Commons

:06:10.:06:13.

vote, we are still a long way from the bulldozers moving in. Some

:06:14.:06:17.

Gatwick supporters think Heathrow's plans will never happen. They face

:06:18.:06:22.

too many large obstacles. I am frustrated as a taxpayer and a

:06:23.:06:25.

businessman and an airport guy who just wants to see progress. This is

:06:26.:06:30.

a vote for no progress. But in the end we just have to get on with what

:06:31.:06:35.

we do. There is a catch, the aviation market is changing.

:06:36.:06:39.

Edinburgh and other major Scottish airports are not just looking to get

:06:40.:06:42.

people in and out of London, they are looking for direct routes,

:06:43.:06:46.

indeed they are already flying them to European cities, North America

:06:47.:06:48.

and the Middle East and eventually they hope to Asia. With that kind of

:06:49.:06:55.

growth, Edinburgh might need another runway too, in at least 25 years.

:06:56.:06:58.

Douglas Fraser, reporting Scotland. Well, our news reporter,

:06:59.:07:00.

Steven Duff, is at Aberdeen Airport Steven, is it possible to say

:07:01.:07:03.

what impact he heathrow expansion plans might have on people flying

:07:04.:07:06.

to and from Scotland? What has been the reaction? We have

:07:07.:07:12.

further consent from Edinburgh airport and from environmental

:07:13.:07:16.

groups, but from the north-east, there has been long-time support for

:07:17.:07:22.

an extension of Heathrow. The feeling is that was the best way to

:07:23.:07:25.

maintain and improve connectivity, with London and abroad. The Grampian

:07:26.:07:31.

Chambers of commerce says that the government finally appears to have

:07:32.:07:34.

grasped the nettle and it will be at the forefront of the consultations

:07:35.:07:44.

to follow. They are reporting since the Inverness- Heathrow link was

:07:45.:07:47.

reinstated after 20 years in May there has been a surge in tourists,

:07:48.:07:53.

1450% of those saying they connected internationally via Heathrow. Of

:07:54.:07:58.

course it is also about maintaining links, Glasgow, Inverness and

:07:59.:08:02.

Heathrow, and the government say they will have the links maintained

:08:03.:08:05.

with this decision. It also could be new links. Prestwick has been

:08:06.:08:13.

mentioned, even Dundee apparently. When decision is finally reached, it

:08:14.:08:17.

will be well over a decade before passengers in Scotland notice any

:08:18.:08:18.

difference. Scottish universities have raised

:08:19.:08:21.

concerns about the future of European research funding

:08:22.:08:23.

in the wake of Brexit. The principal of Glasgow

:08:24.:08:25.

university says he believes it The University of the Highlands

:08:26.:08:27.

and Islands says it's having to put major projects on hold

:08:28.:08:31.

until the situation becomes clear. Our science correspondent

:08:32.:08:34.

Kenneth Macdonald has this report. Scottish science punches above its

:08:35.:08:45.

weight. They get a far bigger share of the UK's science budget than the

:08:46.:08:50.

size of our population might suggest. Why? Because we are good at

:08:51.:08:55.

it. In European funding, as in the UK, Scottish research attracts more

:08:56.:09:00.

than our population's share, what is called the southern framework

:09:01.:09:04.

programme between 2007 in 2013 attracted the support of almost 730

:09:05.:09:09.

million euros. The current programme, a 2020, has brought us

:09:10.:09:16.

almost 300 million so far. -- Horizon 2020. So while Brexit

:09:17.:09:19.

meaning Brexit, what will it mean the Scottish research perhaps more

:09:20.:09:23.

than all those Euros? Universities in Scotland are a fantastic asset in

:09:24.:09:28.

this country, two in the top hundred, 45 in the top 200. That is

:09:29.:09:34.

an asset that we really don't want to lose and it could be imperilled.

:09:35.:09:40.

Of course it is one aim for us because science doesn't really

:09:41.:09:43.

respect borders. I know from my own research background, to push back

:09:44.:09:48.

the frontiers and to make real progress, much of it involves

:09:49.:09:51.

international collaboration. The Scottish Government says it is

:09:52.:09:55.

concerned about the uncertainty and points the finger at the UK

:09:56.:10:01.

Government. The Treasury says funding for specific projects will

:10:02.:10:05.

continue beyond the UK's departure from the EU but that may not be

:10:06.:10:09.

enough for a major scheme to improve skills. A large part of that will be

:10:10.:10:14.

funding higher level qualifications, including quite a substantial number

:10:15.:10:19.

of postgraduate places, doctorates. Fine, we know that a lot of that

:10:20.:10:23.

funding has been confirmed, in the short-term, but doctorate takes

:10:24.:10:29.

three and a half to four years. We cannot in all honesty start any of

:10:30.:10:33.

these big major projects when we don't know that the funding is going

:10:34.:10:40.

to be confirmed 100% long-term. Are there any upsides? Science is

:10:41.:10:44.

international and resilient. Scotland played a role in the two

:10:45.:10:48.

biggest breakthroughs this entry, the Higgs boson and the discovery of

:10:49.:10:51.

gravitational waves, both the result of collaboration is far bigger than

:10:52.:10:55.

the EU. But what is happening now is that

:10:56.:11:06.

Brexit has opened up a world of uncertainty, and although we may not

:11:07.:11:10.

yet know exactly what is under threat, we do know what's at stake.

:11:11.:11:16.

A bin lorry driver has been jailed for a year for causing the death

:11:17.:11:19.

Scott Hamilton reversed his vehicle into a mobility scooter being driven

:11:20.:11:23.

by Peter Wills near the pensioner's home at Dunblane in December 2014.

:11:24.:11:26.

44-year-old Hamilton had earlier pleaded guilty at the High Court

:11:27.:11:30.

in Stirling to causing death by careless driving by failing

:11:31.:11:33.

A female police officer who was badly injured along

:11:34.:11:41.

with a colleague in a hit-and-run attack in Glasgow has

:11:42.:11:44.

The officers were trying to speak to people inside a blue

:11:45.:11:47.

Nissan Qashqai in Glasgow on Sunday night when it was deliberately

:11:48.:11:50.

Police have now confirmed that the vehicle, which was later

:11:51.:11:54.

found burned out, had been stolen, and they are treating the attack

:11:55.:11:57.

Scotland's prisons watchdog wants more help for offenders

:11:58.:12:01.

who are released into the community at the end of their sentence.

:12:02.:12:04.

The Chief Inspector of Prisons says too often people leave jail

:12:05.:12:06.

without knowing where they'll sleep or whether their health care

:12:07.:12:09.

needs will be met - and it makes reoffending

:12:10.:12:11.

Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Reevel Alderson reports.

:12:12.:12:24.

Scotland's prison population is the Losa seven years, and overall the

:12:25.:12:29.

annual inspection report is positive. Praise for staff who work

:12:30.:12:35.

with prisoners about to be released. This report please to be publishing

:12:36.:12:40.

today. David Strand says there should be better integration of

:12:41.:12:43.

their work with services provided in the community by local authorities,

:12:44.:12:48.

the NHS and charities. I see too many people leaving prison not

:12:49.:12:51.

knowing where they are going to sleep that night, people with health

:12:52.:12:56.

care problems, not sure whether addiction support will come, and

:12:57.:12:59.

people leaving with insufficient money to support them until their

:13:00.:13:06.

benefits are June. This lack of support, he says, is one of the many

:13:07.:13:09.

reasons why many offenders return quickly to prison. This challenge

:13:10.:13:17.

for society is being tackled by charities like the wise group.

:13:18.:13:22.

Mentors, many of themselves with prison records, help those about to

:13:23.:13:24.

leave jail and four of the year until their sentence is ended. They

:13:25.:13:29.

offer practical support and advice on how to keep out of trouble. It

:13:30.:13:37.

has been six months, and there is a real empathy, because we do

:13:38.:13:41.

understand. A lot of the guys I have worked with, from the team, there is

:13:42.:13:48.

a real deep understanding in the whole team, and a real specialism.

:13:49.:13:56.

But the charities concerned that funding could come to an end.

:13:57.:14:01.

Gay rights campaigners welcome the Scottish Government's decision

to pardon men who were convicted of homosexual offences

Concern from Scotland rugby's head coach that his international squad

A world-wide forum of disability experts

:14:29.:14:32.

The Rehabilitation International Congress was last held in the UK

:14:33.:14:36.

The topics discussed and society's attitudes towards disabled people

:14:37.:14:40.

has changed radically since then, as our reporter Ian Hamilton

:14:41.:14:42.

One of the issues they will be discussing here at the

:14:43.:14:58.

rehabilitation International Congress is that lack of investment

:14:59.:15:01.

into people with disabilities. Governments were happy to win

:15:02.:15:07.

Paralympic medals bending wave that way but what about other elements of

:15:08.:15:08.

life? If you invest in employment, way but what about other elements of

:15:09.:15:13.

training, independent living and other areas of their life, then we

:15:14.:15:17.

will also hit gold in those areas too. Gathered here are some of the

:15:18.:15:22.

top disability experts on the road. They will be developing ideas that

:15:23.:15:25.

will influence government policy around the globe. What Edinburgh can

:15:26.:15:30.

learn is to take on board and look at what other countries have got in

:15:31.:15:36.

their systems. At a forum like this where you can have those

:15:37.:15:38.

conversations with people just sat around a table, like we are now, it

:15:39.:15:42.

is where you learn from each other I think more than anything. Greens I

:15:43.:15:47.

think we need to do is also change our social access and our mentality

:15:48.:15:51.

around disability because it is not just about having a really

:15:52.:15:56.

accessible venue for accessible coding, it is about staff having

:15:57.:15:59.

disability awareness training and having the right attitude to treat

:16:00.:16:02.

disabled people with the respect they deserve. This week is all about

:16:03.:16:10.

exchanging ideas. We all want to make sure we have policies that

:16:11.:16:14.

allow people with disabilities to fulfil their potential. That means

:16:15.:16:17.

having an inclusive approach to policy-making. So there's lots we

:16:18.:16:20.

can learn but there's also lots of it we can offer other countries, in

:16:21.:16:25.

terms of how we do things in Scotland. 1000 delegates, 200

:16:26.:16:31.

speakers from 60 different countries will be here until Thursday to find

:16:32.:16:37.

new ways of delivering services to an increasingly disabled global

:16:38.:16:37.

population. Time for a look at other stories

:16:38.:16:42.

from across the country. There's been a reduction

:16:43.:16:44.

in the number of people with alcohol related problems

:16:45.:16:47.

being admitted to hospital, There were almost 35,000 such

:16:48.:16:48.

admissions last year - A new possible sighting of missing

Scottish Poppy Appeal. The fundraising campaign will see

:17:18.:17:21.

around five million poppies being sold to help support the

:17:22.:17:27.

Armed Forces community in Scotland. The Armed Forces are still dealing

:17:28.:17:36.

with challenges around the world. The veterans deal with the

:17:37.:17:39.

challenges that they've faced from their service over many years. With

:17:40.:17:45.

the Armed Forces community getting smaller in Scotland, it's important

:17:46.:17:48.

that the wider public understand what they've done for us over the

:17:49.:17:50.

years and that their service is never forgotten.

A new teacher has been found for a school with just seven pupils

In football, Sir Alex Ferguson says Scotland will need to beat England

:18:42.:18:46.

at Wembley if they're to have a chance of qualifying for

:18:47.:18:49.

After a disappointing start to their campaign

:18:50.:18:55.

for the national team, the match is set for November.

:18:56.:18:57.

Sir Alex, though, is optimistic that the Scots can get back on track

:18:58.:19:00.

with a win against their arch rivals, as David Currie reports.

:19:01.:19:04.

Two of Scotland's biggest personalities, and one of the

:19:05.:19:09.

sport's biggest prizes. Although that's an oversized version of the

:19:10.:19:14.

European Championship trophy. Scotland manager Gordon Strachan and

:19:15.:19:17.

:19:18.:19:21.

cities hosting matches in the 2020 finals. The actual European final

:19:22.:19:29.

trophy is on display in Glasgow today, too. But it will be fair to

:19:30.:19:32.

say that the minds of most Scottish football fans aren't on that.

:19:33.:19:35.

They're on the World Cup and Scotland's prospects of qualifying

:19:36.:19:39.

for the tournament in Russia in two years' time. Strachan's Scotland

:19:40.:19:45.

have just two points from three qualifying matches. His team face

:19:46.:19:48.

England next at Wembley. But he wasn't talking to media types like

:19:49.:19:53.

me about that today. The man who managed Aberdeen and Manchester

:19:54.:20:00.

United was. I think that they have to win it. It's no problem, they can

:20:01.:20:06.

win it. Scotland always do well against England. It's always a great

:20:07.:20:14.

incentive, and the support will be fantastic. I don't know how many

:20:15.:20:18.

will be that, but whatever they allocate in Scotland it will be

:20:19.:20:20.

trouble that you will find tickets I. The Scotland boss's current

:20:21.:20:27.

manager is also hoping he and his team deliver at Wembley. We need to

:20:28.:20:31.

get our performance back on track at Wembley and get our position

:20:32.:20:37.

improved if we have any chance of qualifying. Gordon knows how

:20:38.:20:41.

important this is for the fans. The branding for the Glasgow part of

Euro 2020 features a graphic Clyde Arc, that is the squinty Bridge to

:20:49.:20:59.

Vern Cotter, says no team should try to stop a player

:21:00.:21:02.

representing his nation. The top English sides have voted

:21:03.:21:05.

to not release Scotland players for the Autumn tests,

:21:06.:21:07.

unless the SRU settle allegedly Cotter also revealed he's

"disappointed" to be Wildly the Next Generation honed

:21:31.:21:34.

English teams who say their players might represent Scotland and less

:21:35.:21:37.

allegedly outstanding medical bills are settled. You can't deny people

:21:38.:21:42.

the opportunity to play. Even though it may be frustrating at times when

:21:43.:21:47.

you have players leaving or injured or coming back injured,

:21:48.:21:51.

International rugby is important fixtures and it's pretty tough to

:21:52.:21:58.

try and deprive a player of that possibility to play for his country.

here at Murrayfield one fortnight on Saturday. Head coach Vern Cotter

:22:07.:22:10.

will need his strongest available squad. But because of the club

:22:11.:22:13.

versus country row, he's not sure whether his English -based players

:22:14.:22:18.

will be available to him. The five in question are the Saracens duo of

:22:19.:22:23.

Sean Maitland and Duncan Taylor. Fellow back Tim Visser of

harlequins. Forward Moray Low of the Exeter Chiefs. And most crucially of

all, Gloucester's Greg Laidlaw, the Scotland captain. You cannot have a

Scotland test periods without the Scottish captain. Greg Laidlaw is in

there as the Scottish captain for three games. He should not be

:22:43.:22:45.

deprived of the rights to play for his country. And he should not be

:22:46.:22:48.

used as a political pawn between a group of clubs and a nation?

Absolutely. This is rugby politics group of clubs and a nation?

He will be replaced next summer by the Glasgow Warriors head coach

Gregor Townsend. If you're doing the Glasgow Warriors head coach

:23:05.:23:10.

something and you want to go somewhere and you've got objectives

:23:11.:23:15.

in mind, that's the deal that done. We just move on. Moving on this

:23:16.:23:19.

autumn will be less of an ordeal if key players like as captain can join

:23:20.:23:21.

the party. All this month the festival Luminate

:23:22.:23:25.

has been celebrating the creativity It shares stories of ageing and

:23:26.:23:27.

explores what growing older means. And for one film-maker,

:23:28.:23:31.

what began as a single film has inspired an entire festival -

:23:32.:23:34.

within the festival. Our Arts Correspondent,

:23:35.:23:37.

Pauline McLean, reports. For film-maker Duncan, this

:23:38.:23:52.

Edinburgh care home was a starting point for his latest film project.

:23:53.:23:55.

Having encouraged his reluctant grandfather put on film-maker,

:23:56.:23:57.

he wanted to persuade other older people to the same.

:23:58.:23:59.

Five residents took up the challenge and spent the last few months

:24:00.:24:02.

Choosing the direction of themselves has allowed them

:24:03.:24:08.

We have all opted for different styles of music, everyone

:24:09.:24:12.

has a least one form of story and then to tell.

:24:13.:24:15.

May is one of the newest residents and at the age of 86

:24:16.:24:18.

decided her family was the most interesting story

:24:19.:24:19.

My son seemed quite thrilled about it but they kept telling me

:24:20.:24:27.

that Hollywood would be here and all of this kind

:24:28.:24:29.

But in one week, it was quite exciting, in one way.

:24:30.:24:38.

The film has been commissioned at the Luminate Festival

:24:39.:24:48.

which encourages older people to continue to be creative and there

:24:49.:24:51.

One of the residents spoke about how she wanted to do things like this

:24:52.:24:57.

in her life but had not been given the opportunity and,

:24:58.:25:00.

you know, I do not think at the age of 90 she expected to have this

:25:01.:25:03.

opportunity to do this and dedicate this film that we made

:25:04.:25:11.

The films will be shown at a special screening in the home

:25:12.:25:16.

and it is all that it will reach a wider audience at

:25:17.:25:19.

Who knows, if successful, there could be a sequel.

:25:20.:25:25.

Now here's Shelley Jofre with details of Scotland 2016.

:25:26.:25:32.

Tonight we're arresting how much economic benefit the new runway at

:25:33.:25:37.

Heathrow would bring to Scotland. And at what cost to the environment.

:25:38.:25:42.
