:00:00. > :00:00.So it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's

:00:00. > :00:14.The UK government is accused of a cover-up over the malfunction

:00:15. > :00:16.of a missile in a recent Trident test.

:00:17. > :00:20.A claim that some rape victims in Shetland are being put off

:00:21. > :00:22.going to the police - because they have to

:00:23. > :00:24.travel to the mainland for forensic examinations.

:00:25. > :00:28.And then you decide to start your own company.

:00:29. > :00:34.We meet the couple who are doing just that.

:00:35. > :00:37.Choose life, choose a sequel, choose hanging out on the red carpet -

:00:38. > :00:39.we catch up with the stars of T2 Trainspotting

:00:40. > :00:53.We were a bit nervous about making a sequel and not pulling it off and

:00:54. > :01:00.damaging the reputation or leaving a stale taste about the original film.

:01:01. > :01:03.And also on the programme, one of tennis's all-time greats

:01:04. > :01:05.tells us why she thinks Andy Murray crashed out of the

:01:06. > :01:26.The UK government has refused to say whether an unarmed Trident missile

:01:27. > :01:29.veered off course during a test of the system last June after being

:01:30. > :01:33.The submarine is based at Faslane on the Clyde.

:01:34. > :01:35.Labour and the SNP have accused the Ministry

:01:36. > :01:40.Here's our Westminster correspondent, David Porter.

:01:41. > :01:53.A foggy Monday and business as usual at the home of Britain's submarine

:01:54. > :01:55.nuclear deterrent. The mist may be a metaphor for the confusion

:01:56. > :01:59.surrounding the recent test of a Trident missile and how UK ministers

:02:00. > :02:05.have responded. Reports have emerged that an unarmed missile eyed from

:02:06. > :02:13.the base submarine page most engines last June the off-course -- fired.

:02:14. > :02:20.It should have headed towards Africa, but instead headed to the

:02:21. > :02:23.US. Yesterday the Prime Minister was not forthcoming the subject and she

:02:24. > :02:33.briefed on the certificate that it briefed on the certificate that it

:02:34. > :02:38.-- successful syndication of HMS vengeance, but we don't comment on

:02:39. > :02:46.these issues. -- certification. The difference secretary was reticent to

:02:47. > :02:49.give too much away. Neither myself or the Prime Minister I going to

:02:50. > :02:55.give too many details of our submarine operations or the systems

:02:56. > :02:59.and subsystems which are tested to a demonstration and shakedown

:03:00. > :03:04.operation. That cut little ice with opposition MPs. Who took the

:03:05. > :03:12.decision not to inform Parliament of this incident? How could the nuclear

:03:13. > :03:18.deterrent be certified for use when the system has filed? Is it not the

:03:19. > :03:28.case that the unilateralists who are complaining are in the position of

:03:29. > :03:33.the of eunuchs complaining about the cost of Viagra? Some say it bolsters

:03:34. > :03:39.the case for getting rid of all nuclear weapons. I don't want no

:03:40. > :03:47.renewal of Trident, no nuclear weapons. It is just disgusting,

:03:48. > :03:51.complete injustice, that is what it is, they don't care. Some MPs say it

:03:52. > :03:56.raises questions about renewing Trident altogether. Others argued

:03:57. > :04:01.that is what tests are for, to iron out problems. We can go to David at

:04:02. > :04:06.Westminster. Did the Defence Secretary do enough

:04:07. > :04:14.to placate MPs, David? No, and I don't think so Michael

:04:15. > :04:22.Fallon was ever in the view that he was going to win any prizes for

:04:23. > :04:28.disclosure to MPs -- Sir Michael Fallon. He was ordered by the

:04:29. > :04:34.Speaker of the House of Commons to come and address MPs. By and large

:04:35. > :04:37.of a Conservative MPs were very supportive of Michael Fallon, by his

:04:38. > :04:42.argument that it would be wrong to try and give details of operations

:04:43. > :04:46.that the Ministry of Defence carries out particularly on something as

:04:47. > :04:48.sensitive as Trident. Opposition MPs did not buy that and they wanted

:04:49. > :04:54.more information. They did not get it. He was offered the chance to

:04:55. > :04:58.speak to MPs tomorrow on the defence committee in private but he did not

:04:59. > :05:01.seem to want to take that offer, and another development, in America more

:05:02. > :05:05.details are coming out on this from the Trump administration. That will

:05:06. > :05:07.annoy many MPs. Thanks for joining us.

:05:08. > :05:09.The Cowdenbeath footballer David Robertson, who was last week

:05:10. > :05:12.judged to be a rapist in a civil case, is retiring from

:05:13. > :05:19.Robertson and his then Dundee United teammate David Goodwillie

:05:20. > :05:22.were sued by Denise Clair, who said the two men raped her

:05:23. > :05:32.David Robertson's professional playing career is now over, a

:05:33. > :05:35.statement on the website at Cowdenbeath said he was retiring

:05:36. > :05:38.from the game and the club's chairman said he wanted to thank

:05:39. > :05:44.David for his work. David Robertson and his former Dundee United

:05:45. > :05:47.team-mate David Goodwillie were found at the Court of Session last

:05:48. > :05:52.week in Edinburgh to have raped a woman in a flat in January 2011,

:05:53. > :05:54.Denise Clair. She took a civil case against the men because the Crown

:05:55. > :05:57.Office said it would not proceed with a criminal prosecution and it

:05:58. > :06:03.did not feel that the evidence. The love. But the court found in her

:06:04. > :06:06.favour -- did not feel that the evidence was strong enough. That the

:06:07. > :06:11.two men had taken advantage of her when she was under the influence of

:06:12. > :06:18.alcohol. They were ordered to pay compensation to Denise Clair. David

:06:19. > :06:21.Goodwillie is at Plymouth Argyle and they said they are making a decision

:06:22. > :06:27.about his future and by going to issue a statement in the next few

:06:28. > :06:28.days. -- by going. -- they are going to issue.

:06:29. > :06:31.Scotrail has announced who'll be replacing its current boss,

:06:32. > :06:32.Phil Verster, who announced last week he's quitting

:06:33. > :06:35.to take up another job in the industry in England.

:06:36. > :06:37.The current managing director of Arriva Rail North, Alex Hynes,

:06:38. > :06:41.There's been recent criticism of Scotrail, centering around

:06:42. > :06:44.Fatal Accident Inquiries are to be held into the deaths

:06:45. > :06:46.of two teenagers at Polmont Young Offenders'

:06:47. > :06:50.The deaths, which are not believed to be linked,

:06:51. > :06:54.Police said there appeared to be no suspicious

:06:55. > :07:04.Some rape victims in Shetland are being put off going

:07:05. > :07:07.to the police to report the crime - because they have to

:07:08. > :07:08.travel to the mainland for forensic examinations.

:07:09. > :07:11.That's according to Shetland Rape Crisis which is calling

:07:12. > :07:13.for facilities to be set up in Orkney and Shetland so victims

:07:14. > :07:16.don't have to go through the ordeal of travelling by either boat

:07:17. > :07:31.Linda Gray helps rape victims in Shetland and she says the way it is

:07:32. > :07:34.investigating the island is prolonging the pain rather than

:07:35. > :07:43.helping the victims. At worst it can mean a 12 our journey by boat to

:07:44. > :07:46.Aberdeen. -- 12 hour. You would be asked not to wash and you have got

:07:47. > :07:50.to give a brief statement, and not to change your clothes or the police

:07:51. > :07:53.will take your clothes and give you new clothes and then you will be

:07:54. > :08:00.escort it on the next available flight to Aberdeen. -- escorted. To

:08:01. > :08:04.do the forensic tests. There were 12 sexual assaults and three rapes in

:08:05. > :08:08.Shetland over the space of 12 months but those working with survivors

:08:09. > :08:12.said the true figure is much higher. Because currently there is no

:08:13. > :08:16.forensic tests available on the island, the evidence I'm hearing

:08:17. > :08:21.from the survivors is that is putting them off going forward and

:08:22. > :08:24.reporting the crime to the police. But the problem in the Northern

:08:25. > :08:28.Isles is finding the local expertise together the forensic evidence. The

:08:29. > :08:32.health board is looking at ways to provide the service. It is very

:08:33. > :08:36.difficult in Shetland because we have small numbers and it is hard to

:08:37. > :08:39.maintain the expertise we need to do the forensic examinations properly

:08:40. > :08:42.to meet the legal requirements but we are working hard to speak to

:08:43. > :08:47.other people, to improve things and come up with a better way of doing

:08:48. > :08:48.it. For Linda Gray and the victims she helps that can't happen fast

:08:49. > :08:53.enough. A former Catholic monk who taught

:08:54. > :08:56.at the Fort Augustus Abbey school in the Highlands has appeared

:08:57. > :08:58.in court in Australia facing extradition on charges

:08:59. > :09:04.of child sex abuse. Father Denis Alexander

:09:05. > :09:05.denies the allegations. The move to bring him back to face

:09:06. > :09:08.trial here follows a series Here's our Investigations

:09:09. > :09:22.Correspondent Mark Daly. Around a dozen Benedictine monks

:09:23. > :09:26.were accused of carrying out physical and sexual assaults against

:09:27. > :09:30.boys in their care at the Catholic Fort Augustus boarding school in the

:09:31. > :09:38.Highlands. One of those accused was Father Denis Alexander, also known

:09:39. > :09:41.as... Confronted here by me in Sydney for a BBC documentary in 2013

:09:42. > :09:47.which prompted a major police investigation. Just get off my

:09:48. > :09:50.property or I will call the cops. Three and a half years after the

:09:51. > :09:56.programme that investigation has taken a significant turn, he has

:09:57. > :10:00.been arrested in Sydney and remanded in custody, pending his extradition

:10:01. > :10:03.back to Scotland to face trial. He will face a hearing in the local

:10:04. > :10:08.court in Australia on Wednesday. One of his cues is Hugh Kennedy has

:10:09. > :10:13.apparent delays in the extradition apparent delays in the extradition

:10:14. > :10:17.-- one of his accusers. But today means he might now mean his alleged

:10:18. > :10:22.abuser, aged 80, in a Scottish court. It has been a long and

:10:23. > :10:24.frustrating journey for the likes of Hugh Kennedy and there are still

:10:25. > :10:30.many legal hurdles to overcome, but the arrest of Father Alexander Sigel

:10:31. > :10:36.is the beginning of the extradition process in Australia -- signals.

:10:37. > :10:38.That means the Scottish and crucially the Australian authorities

:10:39. > :10:42.believe that there is significant enough evidence to justify bringing

:10:43. > :10:47.Father Alexander back to Scotland to face trial for the crimes he is

:10:48. > :10:54.alleged to have committed here more than 40 years ago.

:10:55. > :10:56.The Transport minister says the government is to hold

:10:57. > :10:58.a consultation on changes to free bus passes amid reports it wants

:10:59. > :11:08.Currently people over 60 are automatically entitled to one.

:11:09. > :11:11.Now transport minister Humza Yousaf says he wants to extend it

:11:12. > :11:14.And he's confirmed he's reviewing the age at

:11:15. > :11:19.We understand that people are living longer and they are staying in work

:11:20. > :11:23.for longer which are great things, but we have got to look at the

:11:24. > :11:25.long-term sustainability. We are having continued cuts on the

:11:26. > :11:30.Westminster government and we have to make sure our budgets go further.

:11:31. > :11:34.If you have the pass you will have that, and you can use it in the same

:11:35. > :11:37.way, but I would urge everyone to get involved in the consultation.

:11:38. > :11:40.Meanwhile a retired couple from Bo'ness are trying to set up

:11:41. > :11:43.a new bus service - so people from their town can travel

:11:44. > :11:49.They say cuts to existing bus services makes it difficult

:11:50. > :11:53.Last week, the Unite union urged the Scottish government to improve

:11:54. > :11:55.bus services in remote and rural areas.

:11:56. > :12:01.Our transport correspondent David Henderson has this report.

:12:02. > :12:06.It is Scotland's most popular kind of public transport, everyday buses

:12:07. > :12:15.carry more than a million people to work, school, the shops, and home.

:12:16. > :12:19.But services can be patchy. Helen and Rab live in Bo'ness and for many

:12:20. > :12:22.years they have taken a bus to the city centre but that service has

:12:23. > :12:27.been cut back and now only runs morning and evening. For while I had

:12:28. > :12:33.to stop going to events, educational staff, to do research, and I've even

:12:34. > :12:39.turn down work in Edinburgh and my family is in Edinburgh. I found

:12:40. > :12:45.other ways but it involves using our car and getting my husband. I've

:12:46. > :12:49.even thought about thumbing a lift. They may be retired but they have a

:12:50. > :12:55.plan, to set up a new bus service for people in the town. It is up to

:12:56. > :13:03.us to take another route and anyone who wants to relative STUDIO: --

:13:04. > :13:07.anyone who wants to visit a relative has got to take a different road,

:13:08. > :13:11.and anyone who wants to go to university has got to take a

:13:12. > :13:21.different road. Meanwhile, on some routes people are spoilt for choice.

:13:22. > :13:29.By ongoing to run the route on a not for-profit basis, but some bus

:13:30. > :13:33.routes are operated by 200 companies and they do look to make money, and

:13:34. > :13:37.critics accuse them of cherry picking the most profitable routes.

:13:38. > :13:42.Bus operators say they rely on subsidies to run a service on

:13:43. > :13:47.quieter routes. Quite often the bus that goes missing can be a bus that

:13:48. > :13:49.has been supported by the local authority, the financial challenges

:13:50. > :13:55.they have got have made it a difficult area for them to continue

:13:56. > :13:58.to support. The industry tries its best and by working in partnership

:13:59. > :14:02.with local authorities we can get the best outcome for everyone. The

:14:03. > :14:08.Scottish Government says it supports bus travel to the tune of more than

:14:09. > :14:12.?200 million a year. But some are calling for a change in the rules,

:14:13. > :14:14.so gaps in the network are filled by bus firms, not by people in towns

:14:15. > :14:21.like Bo'ness. You're watching BBC

:14:22. > :14:29.Reporting Scotland. Ministers refused to say whether the

:14:30. > :14:30.last test of Trident missile system went wrong.

:14:31. > :14:37.Scottish rugby is in fine fettle as the national side prepares for the

:14:38. > :14:41.Six Nations. Hundreds of people turned out

:14:42. > :14:43.in Edinburgh last night for the premiere of T2

:14:44. > :14:47.Trainspotting. The sequel to the cult Scottish

:14:48. > :14:50.film, reunites the main characters Our arts correspondent

:14:51. > :15:06.Pauline McLean met the with cast, It may have taken 21 years for a

:15:07. > :15:10.sequel to Trainspotting to arrive, but for hundreds of fans it was

:15:11. > :15:14.worth the wait. I always hoped they would be a sequel and thankfully

:15:15. > :15:20.there is, I'm a huge fan of Danny Boyle and Ewan McGregor. The film

:15:21. > :15:27.reunites the gang, they are all older if not necessarily wiser. We

:15:28. > :15:30.were a bit nervous about making a sequel to Trainspotting and not

:15:31. > :15:33.pulling it off, and damaging the reputation or leaving a stale taste

:15:34. > :15:38.in people's mouths about the original film. It was amazing to

:15:39. > :15:42.step back into their shoes and hear those voices again, very special. I

:15:43. > :15:49.was very nervous about doing the play and then the film, and I've

:15:50. > :15:56.been nervous about doing the sequel. But I'm glad that we made it

:15:57. > :16:04.through. I think it was really quite epic. The film was a game changer

:16:05. > :16:06.for the Scottish industry, launching not just the careers of the cast,

:16:07. > :16:10.for the Scottish industry, launching but encouraging other film-makers.

:16:11. > :16:15.The production has almost doubled in Scotland in the last decade,

:16:16. > :16:19.including T2 which was able to use more locations from the capital. A

:16:20. > :16:28.lot of what you see is Edinburgh, but they have utilised both cities,

:16:29. > :16:32.and they have built their six in the pyramids of Bathgate -- they have

:16:33. > :16:35.built their sets. And before the sequel has even made it into cinemas

:16:36. > :16:43.they would be thinking about the next chance to reunite for stop it

:16:44. > :16:47.is possible. There might be a book about them again, but there is a lot

:16:48. > :16:50.of unanswered stuff about them, and I've also been working with Danny

:16:51. > :16:56.and John and Andrew, buzzing about that. Danny always said to wait this

:16:57. > :17:03.amount of time to do it and I had not really understood it until we

:17:04. > :17:06.shot it, because it is more about the life experience that you have

:17:07. > :17:11.and that you gone through 20 years, even though it is not Robert Carlyle

:17:12. > :17:17.on the screen, a lot of my 20 years experience is gone into that part.

:19:51. > :19:56.tennis legends, one of the game 's greatest exponent shed some light on

:19:57. > :20:00.the world number one's shock exit. You cannot exclude the last six

:20:01. > :20:07.months of anti-'s life. Maybe just too much, too soon. With the season

:20:08. > :20:10.being this short, he gave so much of himself, winning Wimbledon and the

:20:11. > :20:13.Olympics and the number one ranking on the line in the very last match

:20:14. > :20:19.of the year, that's a lot of emotional and mental energy. He just

:20:20. > :20:23.didn't look happy, he was yapping at his box even when things were going

:20:24. > :20:27.well. I think it's just mental tiredness and I'm sure he'll snap

:21:04. > :21:08.play? After such a gruelling end to of next week but will Andy Murray

:21:09. > :21:12.last season, and a disappointing start to this one, I wouldn't be too

:21:13. > :21:16.surprised if he missed the trip to Ottawa in favour of some rest as he

:21:17. > :21:21.tries to turn misery in Melbourne into joy in Paris and London later

:21:22. > :21:26.this year with the twin targets of the French Open and Wimbledon.

:21:27. > :21:30.The sky's the limit it seems for Scottish rugby right now.

:21:31. > :21:38.Glasgow and Edinburgh are both into European quarter finals.

:21:39. > :21:42.The success is timely with the six Nations less than a fortnight away.

:21:43. > :21:52.Stuart Hogg epitomises all that's good about Scottish rugby at the

:21:53. > :21:56.moment. A world-class operator. A long-term commitment to playing in

:21:57. > :22:00.Scotland. And a near certainty for a place at this summer 's British and

:22:01. > :22:04.Irish Lions squad. And he's not alone. 32 of this 36 man Scotland

:22:05. > :22:08.squad are now European quarterfinalists. The challenge is

:22:09. > :22:14.to take that form to the international stage, where they end

:22:15. > :22:17.to be title contenders. For us we will concentrate on Ireland first

:22:18. > :22:21.and foremost, here's hoping we can hit some form and train well and

:22:22. > :22:25.take that into the first game. I think especially the Glasgow boys,

:22:26. > :22:30.Finn has been playing awesome at ten. If we can get outside him it

:22:31. > :22:34.will be grand. If you think you've heard this kind of positivity going

:22:35. > :22:38.into a six Nations before, you'd be right. There have been several false

:22:39. > :22:44.storms in recent years. With Glasgow pulling up trees in Europe, and

:22:45. > :22:47.Edinburgh enjoying European success as well, maybe this time can be

:22:48. > :22:50.different. You've got an all Scottish starting 15 at Glasgow who

:22:51. > :22:56.have just destroyed one of the best English clubs, whatever the problems

:22:57. > :23:00.at Leicester R. To counteract that you've got to say that the six

:23:01. > :23:03.Nations is incredibly brutal. It's only five games but it can feel very

:23:04. > :23:08.long and drawn out if you are losing. Ireland have just beating

:23:09. > :23:11.the all Blacks. We've been optimistic before, and we have

:23:12. > :23:15.reason to be optimistic now, but you've always got to temper that if

:23:16. > :23:20.you are Scottish. But that confidence, boosted further by

:23:21. > :23:25.recent results, will take some tempering. If Stuart Robinson

:23:26. > :23:26.company can recreate their performances for Scotland it may not

:23:27. > :23:28.even be necessary. And from a gruelling game of rugby

:23:29. > :23:32.to another feat of endurance - a cycle all the way from Lands End

:23:33. > :23:34.to John O'Groats. It's been achieved by

:23:35. > :23:36.Aaron Puzey, a digital games However he's claiming to be

:23:37. > :23:40.the first person to have done Here's our science correspondent

:23:41. > :23:50.Kenneth Macdonald. It's a lovely day to go out for a

:23:51. > :23:55.spin, and an even better one to stay in. Aaron Pusey knew his exercise

:23:56. > :24:00.bike was good for him, but staring at the wall was boring. So with the

:24:01. > :24:07.help of Google Street view he's been cycling from lands end to John O

:24:08. > :24:12.groats in virtual reality. Cycle complete. Congratulations, you can

:24:13. > :24:16.take the goggles off now. Thank you. I know we are supposed to ask how it

:24:17. > :24:21.feels. Feels fantastic, such a good thing. After six to seven months of

:24:22. > :24:27.cycling it feels so good to finish this finally. To travel across

:24:28. > :24:32.Britain, the first person to do it. Aaron programmed those flying cubes

:24:33. > :24:36.to show him which way to go. He only took three wrong turns in 1500

:24:37. > :24:39.kilometres. Among the sites along the way, a woman in dressing gown

:24:40. > :24:44.and wellies, several horses and carts, and a fight. He found the 3-D

:24:45. > :24:50.information buried in Google Street view. The rest of the tech was easy,

:24:51. > :24:53.for him. It was just a little mobile phone app I wrote in my spare time,

:24:54. > :24:59.probably took me three or four weeks. Just a little bit of research

:25:00. > :25:05.on how it works. And yeah, it just came together really quickly. Now

:25:06. > :25:07.he's hoping to make it a commercial proposition, and to crowd source

:25:08. > :25:15.suggestions for where to go on his next epic virtual tour. Virtual

:25:16. > :25:17.reality is now well into its third decade, but the technology has

:25:18. > :25:28.advanced so much in recent years that the possibilities now are

:25:29. > :25:35.almost endless. Now the reality of the weather. Good evening. Many saw

:25:36. > :25:39.decent spells of sunshine today, especially across central and

:25:40. > :25:44.eastern parts. Lovely pictures sent in from weather watchers. This

:25:45. > :25:49.tranquil scene in Fife. Not much wind around today but that changes

:25:50. > :25:53.heading into this evening. Increasing cloud but clear spells

:25:54. > :25:59.further east. Early frost for parts of the north-east, freezing

:26:00. > :26:02.temperatures. Our breaks of rain pushing in across the western isles

:26:03. > :26:07.around midnight and the West Coast by the early hours, and drawing in

:26:08. > :26:12.milder hair. By the end of the night, up seven or eight Celsius.

:26:13. > :26:15.Tomorrow cloudy and wet further towards the West. Persistent rain

:26:16. > :26:20.for Dumfries and Galloway and also Argyle. Misty and murky conditions

:26:21. > :26:24.and as the rain spread eastwards it will fragment, become like and

:26:25. > :26:31.patchy. Best of sunshine across the East Coast. Heading out at 3pm, best

:26:32. > :26:34.sunshine likely across Orkney, around the first area, too. Some

:26:35. > :26:39.mist and Merck over more inland areas up over the hills. Part of the

:26:40. > :26:45.Central Belt and also for the South West. Nine or 10 Celsius. Tuesday

:26:46. > :26:50.night into Wednesday. High pressure continues to slip further eastwards.

:26:51. > :26:55.We allow that dare to come from the south around it, and very strong

:26:56. > :26:58.winds to come, too. You see how tight the isobars are, that means

:26:59. > :27:03.stronger winds, and whether France pushing in some outbreaks of rain.

:27:04. > :27:14.Here's the map for Wednesday. Strong winds, touching gale force for temp

:27:15. > :27:18.Skye, and the best brightness for the borders and the north-east

:27:19. > :27:22.corner. Still quite mild, around nine to 10 Celsius. Thursday the

:27:23. > :27:29.wind direction changes subtly to more south-easterly. We draw in much

:27:30. > :27:32.colder, bitterly cold air from the continent. Only reaching three or

:27:33. > :27:42.four Celsius. And that your forecast.

:27:43. > :27:44.I'll be back with the headlines at 8, and the late bulletin just
