Tonight, on Reporting Scotland: Fears the discarding of fish at sea

:00:00.:00:07.

is not being properly policed, as skippers remove monitoring

:00:08.:00:13.

A double whammy for north-east hotels as oil business dries up

:00:14.:00:22.

Tributes from the great and the good for the late MP Tam Dalyell,

:00:23.:00:32.

as his constituents remember him fondly.

:00:33.:00:37.

He was a good man who did a lot for West Lothian. Quite a character, a

:00:38.:00:42.

one-off. Craig Gordon is a target for Chelsea

:00:43.:00:43.

and why the Hoops are desperate

:00:44.:00:48.

to keep him. And written by their music teacher

:00:49.:00:50.

and mixed by his pupils, a potential Eurovision

:00:51.:00:52.

song contest entry... It's a practice that

:00:53.:00:54.

caused widespread concern, when images emerged of large numbers

:00:55.:01:14.

of dead fish being dumped But BBC Scotland has learnt

:01:15.:01:18.

that cameras installed on boats to monitor the ban

:01:19.:01:22.

are being removed by skippers. The number of them has halved

:01:23.:01:27.

in three years and WWF Scotland says there's now no effective

:01:28.:01:30.

monitoring of discards. Our environment correspondent

:01:31.:01:34.

Kevin Keane reports. It is a controversial practice which

:01:35.:01:47.

all sides want to end but the contention is over how to do it.

:01:48.:01:52.

Discards are the dead fish thrown back into the sea because the boat

:01:53.:01:56.

does not have the quote to land it. It is now being banned, if you

:01:57.:02:00.

species at a time. Three years ago the boats were offered a chance to

:02:01.:02:04.

install cameras to help monitor the ban. As an incentive, skippers were

:02:05.:02:09.

allowed to bring back more fish. But for cod, the scheme has ended and

:02:10.:02:13.

the cameras are being handed back, which is causing alarm. We have

:02:14.:02:17.

significant concerns about the low which is causing alarm. We have

:02:18.:02:21.

level of monitoring of what is happening at sea. In fact, the

:02:22.:02:24.

number of vessels monitored is only around 1%, so we are concerned that

:02:25.:02:30.

we are not able to know what is happening and whether the ban is

:02:31.:02:37.

being adhered to. With many species found in mixed fisheries, where they

:02:38.:02:41.

swim together, a net load might fill their quota for a fish they do not

:02:42.:02:47.

want, meaning they have two head home. For fishermen, the problem is

:02:48.:02:50.

not the monitoring that the legislation. The cameras never

:02:51.:02:55.

existed to do it. They were never meant as a compliance tool. We had

:02:56.:02:58.

hoped they would contribute to the science. We are nowhere near the

:02:59.:03:04.

sort of technology to allow that to happen but in the fullness of time

:03:05.:03:08.

it might do. To use them as an extremely expensive compliance tool

:03:09.:03:14.

is complete overkill. The fisheries minister has been unavailable to

:03:15.:03:17.

interview today but in a statement the Scottish Government said it

:03:18.:03:20.

needs to deploy a range of methods to monitor and control this. Cameras

:03:21.:03:26.

are only one method. Quota incentives will also be available

:03:27.:03:31.

for species other than cod in the 2017 scheme. Details will be set out

:03:32.:03:37.

in due course. Fisher men say the ban is inflexible and are pinning

:03:38.:03:41.

their hopes on a post exit fishing policy to produce a solution that

:03:42.:03:43.

works for all. The number of schoolchildren classed

:03:44.:03:45.

as having additional support needs has gone up dramatically

:03:46.:03:47.

in recent years. Last year nearly a quarter of pupils

:03:48.:03:49.

had an additional need of some sort. But the number of dedicated teachers

:03:50.:03:52.

has fallen by a fifth in five years. While children with additional needs

:03:53.:03:55.

usually stay in mainstream schools, sometimes this isn't

:03:56.:03:58.

the right option. Our education correspondent

:03:59.:04:01.

Jamie McIvor has been meeting families who battled

:04:02.:04:03.

to have their children sent Auckland house in Fife is a

:04:04.:04:20.

specialist facility for boys let down by mainstream education. It

:04:21.:04:26.

helps children with autism, ADHD, to reds syndrome and social, emotional

:04:27.:04:32.

or behavioural challenges. Some of its success stories are remarkable.

:04:33.:04:37.

Kieron spent six years at the school. When I was 12, I could not

:04:38.:04:42.

read or write. I went from currently now in college doing my intro to

:04:43.:04:49.

sport and hopefully ready for university. You get the personal

:04:50.:04:58.

attention that you need. In mainstream schools, there are 20

:04:59.:05:02.

people in a class and you don't get much help. He was diagnosed with

:05:03.:05:06.

attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiant

:05:07.:05:13.

disorder. I think the authorities would have been happy for him to

:05:14.:05:15.

struggle through secondary school, but we had to get the headteacher

:05:16.:05:21.

and another support network to fight for us. Karen's ten-year-old son is

:05:22.:05:27.

at Falkland house. He has asked Berger 's syndrome and was

:05:28.:05:29.

desperately unhappy at his local primary. He was admitted into the

:05:30.:05:37.

childhood family psychiatry unit at Caledonia house. It was an emergency

:05:38.:05:41.

admission because things got that extreme. He did not want to be in

:05:42.:05:47.

this world any more. She also faced battle with the council. They

:05:48.:05:53.

disbanded disability team within social work and generic social

:05:54.:05:57.

workers took over, who did not have an understanding. Provision varies

:05:58.:06:02.

across Scotland, while the number of specialist teachers has been

:06:03.:06:07.

falling. We are lacking educational psychologists. We are training them,

:06:08.:06:11.

but the numbers are decreasing. We would like to see a review of how we

:06:12.:06:15.

are supporting the training of educational psychologists, their

:06:16.:06:21.

role. There is widespread support for the principle of keeping

:06:22.:06:24.

children in mainstream schools. The government is looking at the

:06:25.:06:28.

guidance. The government is currently reviewing what is

:06:29.:06:32.

available on the principle of mainstream to make sure it is

:06:33.:06:35.

available on the principle of appropriate for our times and meets

:06:36.:06:39.

the needs of the current educational environment. Removing a child from a

:06:40.:06:43.

mainstream school is always a difficult decision. The fear is that

:06:44.:06:48.

they lack of money or staff may sometimes make things harder for

:06:49.:06:50.

youngsters who face very real challenges.

:06:51.:06:53.

It's claimed that increases to business rates could be

:06:54.:06:55.

set to cripple parts of Scotland's hospitality industry.

:06:56.:06:57.

New rates come into effect in April, after a national revaluation.

:06:58.:07:01.

It's hit businesses in the north-east particularly hard.

:07:02.:07:03.

Campaigners say properties were valued while oil was still booming.

:07:04.:07:06.

Lunchtime at the Belvedere Hotel in Stonehaven. The chef is not as busy

:07:07.:07:27.

as he once was. Owners say footfall has fallen by 70% since the oil

:07:28.:07:32.

price downturn. All but two of the rooms are empty. But while occupancy

:07:33.:07:38.

plummets and profits plunge, business rates are set to soar for

:07:39.:07:44.

this hotel by 106%. I will not be able to afford to keep the rooms

:07:45.:07:48.

open at that rate with this occupancy. It will kill the tourism

:07:49.:07:53.

industry. Unfortunately, because the oil has gone and we were a dormitory

:07:54.:07:59.

town for oil, we only have tourism. The hotels are the major employer.

:08:00.:08:07.

If they close, or downsize, it's a disaster. The hospitality industry

:08:08.:08:10.

gathered in Stonehaven to discuss the issue. They say the rates rise

:08:11.:08:16.

will lead to redundancies and closures. The problem is not unique

:08:17.:08:20.

to the north-east or the hospitality industry. The Scottish Chambers of

:08:21.:08:25.

commerce say they are hearing concerns from businesses across the

:08:26.:08:30.

country. The rates revaluation was carried out in April 2000 and 15.

:08:31.:08:35.

Many businesses will stop paying rates altogether. Others will see

:08:36.:08:39.

there is double or triple. It has led to growing calls for the

:08:40.:08:43.

Scottish Government to consider in producing increases on a phased

:08:44.:08:47.

basis. We know the problem is coming and people will be made redundant,

:08:48.:08:59.

businesses may go to the wall. We have time to do something about

:09:00.:08:59.

these revaluations and mitigate the impact on business. It is not

:09:00.:09:02.

unusual for us to try innovative solutions, and we must do something.

:09:03.:09:07.

It is an issue in the north-east. That is why I am the king at try to

:09:08.:09:12.

provide a local solution for Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire areas.

:09:13.:09:15.

That is why the council should engage with me to take that forward.

:09:16.:09:22.

In addition to relief divided nationally. The Scottish Government

:09:23.:09:25.

say it is for local councils to apply rates reductions and

:09:26.:09:28.

businesses can appeal their valuation if they feel it is

:09:29.:09:30.

businesses can appeal their incorrect, but that could take two

:09:31.:09:34.

years, and business owners here are already struggling to survive. They

:09:35.:09:35.

say basically can't afford it. The Finance Secretary has

:09:36.:09:39.

more to worry about than He's still seeking support

:09:40.:09:42.

at Holyrood for his budget. With the SNP a minority government,

:09:43.:09:45.

ministers have to get the backing of another party to back the

:09:46.:09:47.

budget, or abstain. The first crunch

:09:48.:09:50.

vote is on Thursday. Our political correspondent

:09:51.:09:51.

Andrew Kerr joins me now. Well, it is not looking good at the

:09:52.:10:09.

moment. The budget bill was introduced to Holyrood today and

:10:10.:10:12.

there is a stage one debate on Thursday, followed by the crunch

:10:13.:10:16.

vote. If he does not get the support then, he has to go away and try

:10:17.:10:22.

again. That support is not coming from the Conservatives and Labour.

:10:23.:10:27.

The Tories say he is taxing too much, Labour say he is cutting too

:10:28.:10:32.

much. The Greens are a possible ally, who won the Scottish

:10:33.:10:35.

Government to make more use of tax-raising powers. That is not

:10:36.:10:39.

going to happen, I think. The Lib Dems have set out spending demands

:10:40.:10:44.

of ?400 million, but still no deal yet. They were seen as the most

:10:45.:10:48.

likely suitors but they say they do not want to just roll over. Private

:10:49.:10:54.

talks are continuing next week and Mr Mackay probably believes they are

:10:55.:10:58.

quite constructive, but at the moment the Scottish Government know

:10:59.:11:01.

there is an impasse, but I understand he is still hopeful of a

:11:02.:11:04.

deal next week before the crunch vote.

:11:05.:11:07.

All day, tributes have been paid to Tam Dalyell,

:11:08.:11:09.

the former Labour MP who's died at the age of 84.

:11:10.:11:12.

Political leaders remembered him as a hugely influential figure

:11:13.:11:14.

In the constituency he served, West Lothian and then Linlithgow,

:11:15.:11:19.

they recall a champion of local causes.

:11:20.:11:22.

This from our political editor Brian Taylor.

:11:23.:11:30.

Tam Dalyell left the Commons in 2005, a rebel with umpteen causes.

:11:31.:11:39.

One such was fervent opposition to Scottish devolution. We will go down

:11:40.:11:43.

a motorway to a separate state, a journey on which many of us don't

:11:44.:11:49.

want to embark. Alongside him in that late 1970s campaign, Brian

:11:50.:11:54.

Wilson, later a Labour minister. He recalls his friend's determination.

:11:55.:12:00.

He was always prepared to take on a cause and pursue it to the end. If

:12:01.:12:05.

that made him unpopular, if it was to his personal disadvantage, in

:12:06.:12:10.

terms of party leadership or so on, so be it. If he thought he was

:12:11.:12:16.

right, he pursued it. From home rule to global concern. Here he is

:12:17.:12:21.

warning against the Gulf War in 1990. Friends, we are embarked on a

:12:22.:12:30.

course that is madness. And more. He pursued Margaret Thatcher over the

:12:31.:12:33.

sinking of the Belgrano during the Falklands War. The Lockerbie bomb,

:12:34.:12:38.

he questioned the involvement of the Libyans. The Iraq invasion in 2003,

:12:39.:12:42.

he condemned his own Labour Prime Minister. A substantial

:12:43.:12:48.

parliamentarian, somebody who pursued politics without fear or

:12:49.:12:52.

favour, a man of iron principles. When he got his teeth into

:12:53.:12:57.

something, he never let go. Even people who disagreed with him on a

:12:58.:12:58.

range of things, perhaps on people who disagreed with him on a

:12:59.:13:03.

everything, could see the value of having somebody like him, who put

:13:04.:13:08.

integrity and the pursuit of principle before everything else in

:13:09.:13:15.

politics. In the lift -- in Linlithgow, folk remember the local

:13:16.:13:19.

helping hand. He was a great constituent MP. He had the heart of

:13:20.:13:28.

the people. Very sad. He was a good man who did a lot for West Lothian.

:13:29.:13:35.

He was quite a character, quite a character. Character indeed. Here,

:13:36.:13:41.

sharing a laugh with Lord Steel two years ago. He was up for a good

:13:42.:13:48.

cause. He was determined. He made Margaret Thatcher's life very

:13:49.:13:52.

difficult over the sinking of the Belgrano. I think he was wrong on

:13:53.:13:57.

Scottish revolution, but his West Lothian Question will remain long

:13:58.:14:01.

after people have forgotten him. Early days, he looks on as his

:14:02.:14:05.

ancestral home is gifted to The National Trust. Later years, still

:14:06.:14:10.

thinking, contemplating, arguing. A life well lived.

:14:11.:14:13.

You're watching BBC Reporting Scotland.

Fears that discarding fish at sea is not being properly policed,

:14:15.:14:20.

as skippers remove monitoring equipment from their boats.

:14:21.:14:24.

How the North Coast 500 driving route is bringing tourism

:14:25.:14:28.

Celtic face a battle with the English league

:14:29.:14:37.

leaders Chelsea for one of their prize assets.

:14:38.:14:40.

Craig Gordon has already been the subject of one

:14:41.:14:43.

And his manager Brendan Rodgers maintains he wants the goalkeeper

:14:44.:14:47.

to sign a new deal at Celtic rather than head for the riches of England.

:14:48.:14:51.

He has caught the eye of the top team in England. Chelsea are also

:14:52.:15:05.

one of the richest and could offer Craig Gordon huge financial rewards.

:15:06.:15:09.

At Celtic, though, he is key to present and future plans. We do not

:15:10.:15:14.

need to sell him. He is someone I want to keep for a longer period so

:15:15.:15:18.

I would hope that the only thing that comes out of this is that we

:15:19.:15:22.

can renegotiate with him and get him here for a longer period than the 18

:15:23.:15:27.

months he has left, and he can get on with working and playing at a

:15:28.:15:32.

club he wants to be at. Brendan Rodgers does not want to sell, but

:15:33.:15:36.

he did say every player has a valuation. If Chelsea meet the

:15:37.:15:40.

valuation, what does the player have to weigh up? Will he have first-team

:15:41.:15:47.

football at Chelsea? He has it at Celtic and has performed extremely

:15:48.:15:51.

well. He has changed his game under Brendan and he is enjoying himself.

:15:52.:15:55.

For him to go down and the second choice... In saying that, he could

:15:56.:16:00.

work his way into the team at Chelsea and resurrect his career in

:16:01.:16:02.

England. Having had a bid rejected, Chelsea and resurrect his career in

:16:03.:16:10.

will Chelsea comeback? I don't know. I don't know about a lot of names.

:16:11.:16:21.

If the Chelsea manager does not recognise the name, that is good

:16:22.:16:25.

news for Celtic. He has been fantastic this season. He has come

:16:26.:16:31.

back pretty much from the dead to be our Player of the Year. He had a

:16:32.:16:36.

hard spell of injury at Sunderland, but he has enjoyed his football here

:16:37.:16:40.

and hopefully he stays for a long time. The next four days will be

:16:41.:16:45.

crucial in determining that. Chelsea have until Tuesday to make Celtic

:16:46.:16:48.

and Gordon an offer they can't refuse.

:16:49.:16:54.

A look at other stories from across the country now.

:16:55.:16:56.

Two fighter jets had a near miss, coming within 300ft of each other,

:16:57.:16:59.

An investigation into the incident at RAF Lossiemouth found a collision

:17:00.:17:03.

avoidance system was ineffective because it had not "warmed up".

:17:04.:17:07.

The incident in August last year involved a Typhoon and a Tornado

:17:08.:17:09.

Aberdeenshire Council is to receive an extra ?2 million to help meet

:17:10.:17:17.

the cost of repairs carried out as a result of devastating

:17:18.:17:20.

The funding comes from the Bellwin Scheme, which gives

:17:21.:17:28.

special financial assistance to councils facing extra

:17:29.:17:29.

Last year's Open Championship in Troon was worth more

:17:30.:17:32.

than ?100 million to Scotland, according to a new study.

:17:33.:17:40.

The research was commissioned by golf's governing body,

:17:41.:17:42.

the R, Visit Scotland and South Ayrshire council.

:17:43.:17:46.

Spending in Ayrshire alone accounted for ?23 million pounds.

:17:47.:17:52.

Drivers in Edinburgh have been left confused by road markings

:17:53.:17:55.

for the latest phase of Edinburgh's new 20mph speed limit.

:17:56.:17:58.

Roads have had both 20mph and 30mph markings painted

:17:59.:18:04.

Edinburgh council says the markings are ahead of junctions to show that

:18:05.:18:08.

traffic going one way is entering a 20mph zone and traffic going

:18:09.:18:11.

Politicians, faith leaders and conflict survivors have gathered

:18:12.:18:18.

Candles were lit at Bishopbriggs Academy last night

:18:19.:18:22.

Scotland's Deputy First Minister, John Swinney, spoke

:18:23.:18:25.

about the dangers of denying fundamental human freedoms.

:18:26.:18:31.

The daughter of one Holocaust survivor spoke of her

:18:32.:18:33.

Witch. So the trains that they used were freight trains, not the

:18:34.:18:50.

traditional trains everybody recognises, they were open top and

bus of her knowledge of that area, she jumped into a snow drift and

:18:56.:19:02.

wasn't seen by the guards and managed to escape. It was launch

:19:03.:19:08.

It was launched last summer and has been rated one of the top driving

:19:09.:19:30.

The circular North Coast 500 follows much of the spectacular coastline

:19:31.:19:34.

Its popularity has led to a boost in both visitor

:19:35.:19:37.

numbers and employment, but as Jackie O'Brien

:19:38.:19:39.

has been finding out -- it's also brought fresh challenges.

:19:40.:19:41.

The north coast 500 which takes in some of Scotland's most breathtaking

:19:42.:19:44.

scenery has brought bumper business to far-flung communities along the

:19:45.:19:46.

route taking tourist operators by surprise. We haven't got enough

:19:47.:19:50.

beds. That's the problem all over. They have to go further afield. We

:19:51.:19:56.

are full up. The north coast village here has seen the installation of

:19:57.:19:59.

the area's first-ever 24-hour fuel here has seen the installation of

:20:00.:20:05.

stop, to keep up with demands. . It will increase foot fall in the shop.

:20:06.:20:10.

Business in the petrol station, bed and breakfast, hotels, everywhere.

:20:11.:20:14.

It's definitely been a bonus for the area. While driving along the north

:20:15.:20:18.

coast, soak up the views from our soft top has become a roaring

:20:19.:20:22.

success, it's feared that single track roads like this one simply

:20:23.:20:26.

can't sustain it. Local people want improved infrastructure as well as a

:20:27.:20:33.

crackdown on dangerous driving. Dodging the Aston Martins ander if

:20:34.:20:37.

oaries has become a nightmare for Crofters trying to move sheep along

:20:38.:20:41.

the route some now describe as a racetrack. They don't appreciate the

:20:42.:20:47.

animals on the road and that. It's just, you know, they are not used to

:20:48.:20:51.

driving on single track roads and they have these high-powered cars,

:20:52.:20:56.

you know and some of them are pretty reckless. These speeds, if you meet

:20:57.:21:01.

another vehicle, pedestrian, cyclist, it could very well end up

:21:02.:21:05.

in a very serious be accident if something is not done to curb this

:21:06.:21:10.

kind of behaviour. Those driving the concept say road safety is a

:21:11.:21:14.

priority and they've pledged to work with the concerned communities to

:21:15.:21:17.

improve the experience for locals and visitors.

:21:18.:21:19.

We're working with the police, we're and visitors.

:21:20.:21:22.

work with the advanced school of motoring to put all their tips out

Let's see what we have in store for the

:24:42.:24:44.

A mixed weekend. It has been mixed today. Beautiful sunshine around

:24:45.:24:49.

this morning although turning cloudier for many of us during the

:24:50.:24:53.

afternoon. This evening in the east, some clear spells, a touch of frost

:24:54.:24:57.

developing under clear skies with lows of around minus-2. As we go

:24:58.:25:02.

through the night, however, becoming cloudy across the board with

:25:03.:25:05.

outbreaks of rain continuing to move in from the west and the south.

:25:06.:25:09.

Especially over the high ground and the hills, there may well be some

:25:10.:25:14.

snow at times and as that rain reaches eastern areas, reaches cold

:25:15.:25:18.

surfaces in the east, there will be a risk of ice on any untreated roads

:25:19.:25:24.

and surfaces. By the end of the night, temperatures recovering

:25:25.:25:26.

somewhat, around 1-4 Celsius for most. That bit milder in the far

:25:27.:25:31.

west and across the Isles with strong winds in Shetland. Into

:25:32.:25:36.

tomorrow, then, we dawn on a fairly cloudy note with further outbreaks

:25:37.:25:39.

of rain and that rain really dragging its heels. We did

:25:40.:25:42.

anticipate that it would clear quickly from the east, although

:25:43.:25:46.

quite a slow process now and indeed leaving a legacy of cloud behind it

:25:47.:25:51.

for many eastern areas. Perhaps some very light rain continuing through

:25:52.:25:55.

the borders, the likes of the Edinburgh area tomorrow afternoon.

:25:56.:26:00.

Sunny spells for Galloway and Western Isles, althoughing there be

:26:01.:26:04.

some showers here at tiechls. Across much of the north-east, it is

:26:05.:26:08.

looking dry, albeit fairly cloudy. Perhaps some rain holding on across

:26:09.:26:13.

Shetland and beer Deanshire. Highs of around 6 or 7. So hill walking

:26:14.:26:18.

and climbing tomorrow. For the more Western ranges, especially the

:26:19.:26:20.

north-west there will be some snow showers. Temperatures on the summits

:26:21.:26:25.

around freezing to minus-2 and winds from the west or from the south-west

:26:26.:26:32.

around 15-25 miles per hour. For the more eastern ranges, occasional snow

:26:33.:26:37.

showers, rain showers to the border hills, minus-2 Celsius, plus-2 for

:26:38.:26:42.

the border hills and again, west-to-south-westerly winds, 15-20

:26:43.:26:45.

miles per hour. Into tomorrow evening that rain

:26:46.:26:48.

finally clearing away to the east, leaving behind it a dry, cold and

:26:49.:26:53.

clear night for most of us, with a widespread frost developing. By

:26:54.:26:57.

Sunday, we'll have high pressure overhead, keeping the weather

:26:58.:27:01.

largely settled and dry, although some uncertainty regarding this area

:27:02.:27:04.

of rain may feed into the south during the day. For the most part,

:27:05.:27:06.

though, dry with plenty of sunshine during the day. For the most part,

:27:07.:27:08.

but still fairly chilly. Now, a reminder of

:27:09.:27:14.

tonight's main news: Theresa May has been

:27:15.:27:18.

at the White House for talks He's taken the opportunity to pay

:27:19.:27:20.

tribute to the special relationship between

:27:21.:27:23.

the United States and Britain. Mrs May said there would be further

:27:24.:27:29.

talks and there was much on which they agreed.

:27:30.:27:33.

I'll be back with the late bulletin just after the Ten O'Clock News.

:27:34.:27:37.

Until then, from everyone on the team - right

:27:38.:27:39.

across the country - have a very good evening.
