:00:23. > :00:32.Tributes from the great and the good for the late MP Tam Dalyell,
:00:33. > :00:37.as his constituents remember him fondly.
:00:38. > :00:42.He was a good man who did a lot for West Lothian. Quite a character, a
:00:43. > :00:43.one-off. Craig Gordon is a target for Chelsea
:00:44. > :00:48.and why the Hoops are desperate
:00:49. > :00:50.to keep him. And written by their music teacher
:00:51. > :00:52.and mixed by his pupils, a potential Eurovision
:00:53. > :00:54.song contest entry... It's a practice that
:00:55. > :01:14.caused widespread concern, when images emerged of large numbers
:01:15. > :01:18.of dead fish being dumped But BBC Scotland has learnt
:01:19. > :01:22.that cameras installed on boats to monitor the ban
:01:23. > :01:27.are being removed by skippers. The number of them has halved
:01:28. > :01:30.in three years and WWF Scotland says there's now no effective
:01:31. > :01:34.monitoring of discards. Our environment correspondent
:01:35. > :01:47.Kevin Keane reports. It is a controversial practice which
:01:48. > :01:52.all sides want to end but the contention is over how to do it.
:01:53. > :01:56.Discards are the dead fish thrown back into the sea because the boat
:01:57. > :02:00.does not have the quote to land it. It is now being banned, if you
:02:01. > :02:04.species at a time. Three years ago the boats were offered a chance to
:02:05. > :02:09.install cameras to help monitor the ban. As an incentive, skippers were
:02:10. > :02:13.allowed to bring back more fish. But for cod, the scheme has ended and
:02:14. > :02:17.the cameras are being handed back, which is causing alarm. We have
:02:18. > :02:21.significant concerns about the low which is causing alarm. We have
:02:22. > :02:24.level of monitoring of what is happening at sea. In fact, the
:02:25. > :02:30.number of vessels monitored is only around 1%, so we are concerned that
:02:31. > :02:37.we are not able to know what is happening and whether the ban is
:02:38. > :02:41.being adhered to. With many species found in mixed fisheries, where they
:02:42. > :02:47.swim together, a net load might fill their quota for a fish they do not
:02:48. > :02:50.want, meaning they have two head home. For fishermen, the problem is
:02:51. > :02:55.not the monitoring that the legislation. The cameras never
:02:56. > :02:58.existed to do it. They were never meant as a compliance tool. We had
:02:59. > :03:04.hoped they would contribute to the science. We are nowhere near the
:03:05. > :03:08.sort of technology to allow that to happen but in the fullness of time
:03:09. > :03:14.it might do. To use them as an extremely expensive compliance tool
:03:15. > :03:17.is complete overkill. The fisheries minister has been unavailable to
:03:18. > :03:20.interview today but in a statement the Scottish Government said it
:03:21. > :03:26.needs to deploy a range of methods to monitor and control this. Cameras
:03:27. > :03:31.are only one method. Quota incentives will also be available
:03:32. > :03:37.for species other than cod in the 2017 scheme. Details will be set out
:03:38. > :03:41.in due course. Fisher men say the ban is inflexible and are pinning
:03:42. > :03:43.their hopes on a post exit fishing policy to produce a solution that
:03:44. > :03:45.works for all. The number of schoolchildren classed
:03:46. > :03:47.as having additional support needs has gone up dramatically
:03:48. > :03:49.in recent years. Last year nearly a quarter of pupils
:03:50. > :03:52.had an additional need of some sort. But the number of dedicated teachers
:03:53. > :03:55.has fallen by a fifth in five years. While children with additional needs
:03:56. > :03:58.usually stay in mainstream schools, sometimes this isn't
:03:59. > :04:01.the right option. Our education correspondent
:04:02. > :04:03.Jamie McIvor has been meeting families who battled
:04:04. > :04:20.to have their children sent Auckland house in Fife is a
:04:21. > :04:26.specialist facility for boys let down by mainstream education. It
:04:27. > :04:32.helps children with autism, ADHD, to reds syndrome and social, emotional
:04:33. > :04:37.or behavioural challenges. Some of its success stories are remarkable.
:04:38. > :04:42.Kieron spent six years at the school. When I was 12, I could not
:04:43. > :04:49.read or write. I went from currently now in college doing my intro to
:04:50. > :04:58.sport and hopefully ready for university. You get the personal
:04:59. > :05:02.attention that you need. In mainstream schools, there are 20
:05:03. > :05:06.people in a class and you don't get much help. He was diagnosed with
:05:07. > :05:13.attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiant
:05:14. > :05:15.disorder. I think the authorities would have been happy for him to
:05:16. > :05:21.struggle through secondary school, but we had to get the headteacher
:05:22. > :05:27.and another support network to fight for us. Karen's ten-year-old son is
:05:28. > :05:29.at Falkland house. He has asked Berger 's syndrome and was
:05:30. > :05:37.desperately unhappy at his local primary. He was admitted into the
:05:38. > :05:41.childhood family psychiatry unit at Caledonia house. It was an emergency
:05:42. > :05:47.admission because things got that extreme. He did not want to be in
:05:48. > :05:53.this world any more. She also faced battle with the council. They
:05:54. > :05:57.disbanded disability team within social work and generic social
:05:58. > :06:02.workers took over, who did not have an understanding. Provision varies
:06:03. > :06:07.across Scotland, while the number of specialist teachers has been
:06:08. > :06:11.falling. We are lacking educational psychologists. We are training them,
:06:12. > :06:15.but the numbers are decreasing. We would like to see a review of how we
:06:16. > :06:21.are supporting the training of educational psychologists, their
:06:22. > :06:24.role. There is widespread support for the principle of keeping
:06:25. > :06:28.children in mainstream schools. The government is looking at the
:06:29. > :06:32.guidance. The government is currently reviewing what is
:06:33. > :06:35.available on the principle of mainstream to make sure it is
:06:36. > :06:39.available on the principle of appropriate for our times and meets
:06:40. > :06:43.the needs of the current educational environment. Removing a child from a
:06:44. > :06:48.mainstream school is always a difficult decision. The fear is that
:06:49. > :06:50.they lack of money or staff may sometimes make things harder for
:06:51. > :06:53.youngsters who face very real challenges.
:06:54. > :06:55.It's claimed that increases to business rates could be
:06:56. > :06:57.set to cripple parts of Scotland's hospitality industry.
:06:58. > :07:01.New rates come into effect in April, after a national revaluation.
:07:02. > :07:03.It's hit businesses in the north-east particularly hard.
:07:04. > :07:06.Campaigners say properties were valued while oil was still booming.
:07:07. > :07:27.Lunchtime at the Belvedere Hotel in Stonehaven. The chef is not as busy
:07:28. > :07:32.as he once was. Owners say footfall has fallen by 70% since the oil
:07:33. > :07:38.price downturn. All but two of the rooms are empty. But while occupancy
:07:39. > :07:44.plummets and profits plunge, business rates are set to soar for
:07:45. > :07:48.this hotel by 106%. I will not be able to afford to keep the rooms
:07:49. > :07:53.open at that rate with this occupancy. It will kill the tourism
:07:54. > :07:59.industry. Unfortunately, because the oil has gone and we were a dormitory
:08:00. > :08:07.town for oil, we only have tourism. The hotels are the major employer.
:08:08. > :08:10.If they close, or downsize, it's a disaster. The hospitality industry
:08:11. > :08:16.gathered in Stonehaven to discuss the issue. They say the rates rise
:08:17. > :08:20.will lead to redundancies and closures. The problem is not unique
:08:21. > :08:25.to the north-east or the hospitality industry. The Scottish Chambers of
:08:26. > :08:30.commerce say they are hearing concerns from businesses across the
:08:31. > :08:35.country. The rates revaluation was carried out in April 2000 and 15.
:08:36. > :08:39.Many businesses will stop paying rates altogether. Others will see
:08:40. > :08:43.there is double or triple. It has led to growing calls for the
:08:44. > :08:47.Scottish Government to consider in producing increases on a phased
:08:48. > :08:59.basis. We know the problem is coming and people will be made redundant,
:09:00. > :08:59.businesses may go to the wall. We have time to do something about
:09:00. > :09:02.these revaluations and mitigate the impact on business. It is not
:09:03. > :09:07.unusual for us to try innovative solutions, and we must do something.
:09:08. > :09:12.It is an issue in the north-east. That is why I am the king at try to
:09:13. > :09:15.provide a local solution for Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire areas.
:09:16. > :09:22.That is why the council should engage with me to take that forward.
:09:23. > :09:25.In addition to relief divided nationally. The Scottish Government
:09:26. > :09:28.say it is for local councils to apply rates reductions and
:09:29. > :09:30.businesses can appeal their valuation if they feel it is
:09:31. > :09:34.businesses can appeal their incorrect, but that could take two
:09:35. > :09:35.years, and business owners here are already struggling to survive. They
:09:36. > :09:39.say basically can't afford it. The Finance Secretary has
:09:40. > :09:42.more to worry about than He's still seeking support
:09:43. > :09:45.at Holyrood for his budget. With the SNP a minority government,
:09:46. > :09:47.ministers have to get the backing of another party to back the
:09:48. > :09:50.budget, or abstain. The first crunch
:09:51. > :09:51.vote is on Thursday. Our political correspondent
:09:52. > :10:09.Andrew Kerr joins me now. Well, it is not looking good at the
:10:10. > :10:12.moment. The budget bill was introduced to Holyrood today and
:10:13. > :10:16.there is a stage one debate on Thursday, followed by the crunch
:10:17. > :10:22.vote. If he does not get the support then, he has to go away and try
:10:23. > :10:27.again. That support is not coming from the Conservatives and Labour.
:10:28. > :10:32.The Tories say he is taxing too much, Labour say he is cutting too
:10:33. > :10:35.much. The Greens are a possible ally, who won the Scottish
:10:36. > :10:39.Government to make more use of tax-raising powers. That is not
:10:40. > :10:44.going to happen, I think. The Lib Dems have set out spending demands
:10:45. > :10:48.of ?400 million, but still no deal yet. They were seen as the most
:10:49. > :10:54.likely suitors but they say they do not want to just roll over. Private
:10:55. > :10:58.talks are continuing next week and Mr Mackay probably believes they are
:10:59. > :11:01.quite constructive, but at the moment the Scottish Government know
:11:02. > :11:04.there is an impasse, but I understand he is still hopeful of a
:11:05. > :11:07.deal next week before the crunch vote.
:11:08. > :11:09.All day, tributes have been paid to Tam Dalyell,
:11:10. > :11:12.the former Labour MP who's died at the age of 84.
:11:13. > :11:14.Political leaders remembered him as a hugely influential figure
:11:15. > :11:19.In the constituency he served, West Lothian and then Linlithgow,
:11:20. > :11:22.they recall a champion of local causes.
:11:23. > :11:30.This from our political editor Brian Taylor.
:11:31. > :11:39.Tam Dalyell left the Commons in 2005, a rebel with umpteen causes.
:11:40. > :11:43.One such was fervent opposition to Scottish devolution. We will go down
:11:44. > :11:49.a motorway to a separate state, a journey on which many of us don't
:11:50. > :11:54.want to embark. Alongside him in that late 1970s campaign, Brian
:11:55. > :12:00.Wilson, later a Labour minister. He recalls his friend's determination.
:12:01. > :12:05.He was always prepared to take on a cause and pursue it to the end. If
:12:06. > :12:10.that made him unpopular, if it was to his personal disadvantage, in
:12:11. > :12:16.terms of party leadership or so on, so be it. If he thought he was
:12:17. > :12:21.right, he pursued it. From home rule to global concern. Here he is
:12:22. > :12:30.warning against the Gulf War in 1990. Friends, we are embarked on a
:12:31. > :12:33.course that is madness. And more. He pursued Margaret Thatcher over the
:12:34. > :12:38.sinking of the Belgrano during the Falklands War. The Lockerbie bomb,
:12:39. > :12:42.he questioned the involvement of the Libyans. The Iraq invasion in 2003,
:12:43. > :12:48.he condemned his own Labour Prime Minister. A substantial
:12:49. > :12:52.parliamentarian, somebody who pursued politics without fear or
:12:53. > :12:57.favour, a man of iron principles. When he got his teeth into
:12:58. > :12:58.something, he never let go. Even people who disagreed with him on a
:12:59. > :13:03.range of things, perhaps on people who disagreed with him on a
:13:04. > :13:08.everything, could see the value of having somebody like him, who put
:13:09. > :13:15.integrity and the pursuit of principle before everything else in
:13:16. > :13:19.politics. In the lift -- in Linlithgow, folk remember the local
:13:20. > :13:28.helping hand. He was a great constituent MP. He had the heart of
:13:29. > :13:35.the people. Very sad. He was a good man who did a lot for West Lothian.
:13:36. > :13:41.He was quite a character, quite a character. Character indeed. Here,
:13:42. > :13:48.sharing a laugh with Lord Steel two years ago. He was up for a good
:13:49. > :13:52.cause. He was determined. He made Margaret Thatcher's life very
:13:53. > :13:57.difficult over the sinking of the Belgrano. I think he was wrong on
:13:58. > :14:01.Scottish revolution, but his West Lothian Question will remain long
:14:02. > :14:05.after people have forgotten him. Early days, he looks on as his
:14:06. > :14:10.ancestral home is gifted to The National Trust. Later years, still
:14:11. > :14:13.thinking, contemplating, arguing. A life well lived.

:14:52. > :15:05.He has caught the eye of the top team in England. Chelsea are also
:15:06. > :15:09.one of the richest and could offer Craig Gordon huge financial rewards.
:15:10. > :15:14.At Celtic, though, he is key to present and future plans. We do not
:15:15. > :15:18.need to sell him. He is someone I want to keep for a longer period so
:15:19. > :15:22.I would hope that the only thing that comes out of this is that we
:15:23. > :15:27.can renegotiate with him and get him here for a longer period than the 18
:15:28. > :15:32.months he has left, and he can get on with working and playing at a
:15:33. > :15:36.club he wants to be at. Brendan Rodgers does not want to sell, but
:15:37. > :15:40.he did say every player has a valuation. If Chelsea meet the
:15:41. > :15:47.valuation, what does the player have to weigh up? Will he have first-team
:15:48. > :15:51.football at Chelsea? He has it at Celtic and has performed extremely
:15:52. > :15:55.well. He has changed his game under Brendan and he is enjoying himself.
:15:56. > :16:00.For him to go down and the second choice... In saying that, he could
:16:01. > :16:02.work his way into the team at Chelsea and resurrect his career in
:16:03. > :16:10.England. Having had a bid rejected, Chelsea and resurrect his career in
:16:11. > :16:21.will Chelsea comeback? I don't know. I don't know about a lot of names.
:16:22. > :16:25.If the Chelsea manager does not recognise the name, that is good
:16:26. > :16:31.news for Celtic. He has been fantastic this season. He has come
:16:32. > :16:36.back pretty much from the dead to be our Player of the Year. He had a
:16:37. > :16:40.hard spell of injury at Sunderland, but he has enjoyed his football here
:16:41. > :16:45.and hopefully he stays for a long time. The next four days will be
:16:46. > :16:48.crucial in determining that. Chelsea have until Tuesday to make Celtic

:21:49. > :21:54.transformation that's already taken place I never thought I would ever

:23:48. > :23:51.goes before judges on Romanian television on Sunday night. If it

:24:42. > :24:44.Let's see what we have in store for the
:24:45. > :24:49.A mixed weekend. It has been mixed today. Beautiful sunshine around
:24:50. > :24:53.this morning although turning cloudier for many of us during the
:24:54. > :24:57.afternoon. This evening in the east, some clear spells, a touch of frost
:24:58. > :25:02.developing under clear skies with lows of around minus-2. As we go
:25:03. > :25:05.through the night, however, becoming cloudy across the board with
:25:06. > :25:09.outbreaks of rain continuing to move in from the west and the south.
:25:10. > :25:14.Especially over the high ground and the hills, there may well be some
:25:15. > :25:18.snow at times and as that rain reaches eastern areas, reaches cold
:25:19. > :25:24.surfaces in the east, there will be a risk of ice on any untreated roads
:25:25. > :25:26.and surfaces. By the end of the night, temperatures recovering
:25:27. > :25:31.somewhat, around 1-4 Celsius for most. That bit milder in the far
:25:32. > :25:36.west and across the Isles with strong winds in Shetland. Into
:25:37. > :25:39.tomorrow, then, we dawn on a fairly cloudy note with further outbreaks
:25:40. > :25:42.of rain and that rain really dragging its heels. We did
:25:43. > :25:46.anticipate that it would clear quickly from the east, although
:25:47. > :25:51.quite a slow process now and indeed leaving a legacy of cloud behind it
:25:52. > :25:55.for many eastern areas. Perhaps some very light rain continuing through
:25:56. > :26:00.the borders, the likes of the Edinburgh area tomorrow afternoon.
:26:01. > :26:04.Sunny spells for Galloway and Western Isles, althoughing there be
:26:05. > :26:08.some showers here at tiechls. Across much of the north-east, it is
:26:09. > :26:13.looking dry, albeit fairly cloudy. Perhaps some rain holding on across
:26:14. > :26:18.Shetland and beer Deanshire. Highs of around 6 or 7. So hill walking
:26:19. > :26:20.and climbing tomorrow. For the more Western ranges, especially the
:26:21. > :26:25.north-west there will be some snow showers. Temperatures on the summits
:26:26. > :26:32.around freezing to minus-2 and winds from the west or from the south-west
:26:33. > :26:37.around 15-25 miles per hour. For the more eastern ranges, occasional snow
:26:38. > :26:42.showers, rain showers to the border hills, minus-2 Celsius, plus-2 for
:26:43. > :26:45.the border hills and again, west-to-south-westerly winds, 15-20
:26:46. > :26:48.miles per hour. Into tomorrow evening that rain
:26:49. > :26:53.finally clearing away to the east, leaving behind it a dry, cold and
:26:54. > :26:57.clear night for most of us, with a widespread frost developing. By
:26:58. > :27:01.Sunday, we'll have high pressure overhead, keeping the weather
:27:02. > :27:04.largely settled and dry, although some uncertainty regarding this area
:27:05. > :27:06.of rain may feed into the south during the day. For the most part,
:27:07. > :27:08.though, dry with plenty of sunshine during the day. For the most part,
:27:09. > :27:14.but still fairly chilly. Now, a reminder of
:27:15. > :27:18.tonight's main news: Theresa May has been
:27:19. > :27:20.at the White House for talks He's taken the opportunity to pay
:27:21. > :27:23.tribute to the special relationship between
:27:24. > :27:29.the United States and Britain. Mrs May said there would be further
:27:30. > :27:33.talks and there was much on which they agreed.
:27:34. > :27:37.I'll be back with the late bulletin just after the Ten O'Clock News.
:27:38. > :27:39.Until then, from everyone on the team - right
:27:40. > :27:43.across the country - have a very good evening.
