:00:22. > :00:26.Angry exchanges at Prime Minister's Questions over Brexit

:00:36. > :00:43.Is there a criminal turf war in Glasgow?

:00:44. > :00:45.We look at the history of gang-related violence

:00:46. > :00:50.And, we're at Ricky Burns' training camp as he shapes up

:00:51. > :01:06.The Prime Minister claims Scotland will be leaving the European Union

:01:07. > :01:08.regardless of whether or not we vote for independence.

:01:09. > :01:15.Theresa May also told SNP MPs that "constitutional game-playing" should

:01:16. > :01:22.not be allowed to break "the deep bonds" of the UK

:01:23. > :01:24.after the SNP's Westminster leader Angus Robertson told Theresa May

:01:25. > :01:27.she was breaking promises to secure a UK-wide agreement on Brexit.

:01:28. > :01:31.Our political correspondent Nick Eardley reports from Westminster.

:01:32. > :01:41.What future for the union? Theresa May does not want another referendum

:01:42. > :01:45.to happen but at some stage the Prime Minister has to decide whether

:01:46. > :01:49.she will allow it. In the Commons she was asked with reference to the

:01:50. > :01:55.SNP manifesto pledge if it could hold one in Scotland was taken at

:01:56. > :01:59.the EU against its will. Though she agreed that the Government should

:02:00. > :02:05.stick to its manifesto promises and, if so, it she cannot object to the

:02:06. > :02:09.First Minister sticking to hers? In response, a hint perhaps on what

:02:10. > :02:15.might influence Theresa May's decision. I of course recognise

:02:16. > :02:18.there was a boat that took place for the Scottish parliament and the

:02:19. > :02:25.First Minister was returned as First Minister in a minority government.

:02:26. > :02:29.Since September 2014, the Scottish people were given the opportunity to

:02:30. > :02:33.vote on whether or not they wish to remain in the United Kingdom. They

:02:34. > :02:38.chose that Scotland should remain part of the United Kingdom. The SNP

:02:39. > :02:42.wants you to know they have tried to find a middle ground but they say

:02:43. > :02:47.the UK Government is not listening. Another plea today for a compromise.

:02:48. > :02:50.But... If she is not prepared to negotiate on behalf of the Scottish

:02:51. > :02:59.Government and secure membership of the single market, people in

:03:00. > :03:03.Scotland will have a referendum. The PM insists her deal will work for

:03:04. > :03:12.the whole UK and says the union is more important than the EU. We have

:03:13. > :03:18.been one country for over 300 years. We have fought together, worked

:03:19. > :03:23.together, achieved together. And constitutional gameplaying must not

:03:24. > :03:29.be allowed to break the deep bonds of our shared history and our future

:03:30. > :03:32.together. There will be more conversations before Article 50 is

:03:33. > :03:37.triggered but it seems I there will be a deal which meets the demands of

:03:38. > :03:41.ministers in Edinburgh. The most important question that remains

:03:42. > :03:45.tonight is will Theresa May allow another independence vote? Unlikely

:03:46. > :03:51.we'll get a more substantive answer on that until after Holyrood debate

:03:52. > :03:53.sit next week. As seasons change in Westminster, we will wait to see on

:03:54. > :04:00.whether you will boat again. that they remain committed to full

:04:01. > :04:02.independent membership But they acknowledged

:04:03. > :04:06.that the position would only be completely finalised in time

:04:07. > :04:08.for the planned referendum. The comments follow an academic

:04:09. > :04:10.survey which indicated support for independence

:04:11. > :04:12.is at a record high. This from our political

:04:13. > :04:23.editor Brian Taylor. For Scotland, the campaign

:04:24. > :04:32.continues, and the dream shall never die. And for the SNP, it never has,

:04:33. > :04:36.although for the rivals that is a recurring nightmare. The latest

:04:37. > :04:41.academic survey suggests independence is backed by 46%,

:04:42. > :04:45.double the figure five years ago. Devolution attracts 42% while just

:04:46. > :04:53.8% want no parliament at all. Among the options on the EU, 25% would

:04:54. > :04:58.quit while 42% want to cut be you's our. It might be hard to win more

:04:59. > :05:07.converts to independence with a pro-EU pitch. You'll agree if we

:05:08. > :05:09.are, and if it is going to be based on somehow trying to get Scotland

:05:10. > :05:14.back into the European Union, today's evidence shows it will be a

:05:15. > :05:18.more difficult argument for the First Minister and the SNP to make

:05:19. > :05:27.them we otherwise thought. There is no clarity about staying in Europe.

:05:28. > :05:33.Nothing said about currency. It adds to the confusion. If Scotland were

:05:34. > :05:37.on their own, stuff would get done and we would not get pushed to one

:05:38. > :05:42.side. Do not get me started. I find the whole thing is like the

:05:43. > :05:45.gramophone record. It is stuck. For some, Brexit is a driver for

:05:46. > :05:54.independence and others the deterrent. What is being proposed at

:05:55. > :06:00.the moment about leaving the UK is not independence. I think it should

:06:01. > :06:05.go ahead. Yes. A lot more has changed since the last referendum.

:06:06. > :06:11.Just as the idea of leaving the European Union. And there should, I

:06:12. > :06:15.think, be little doubt about this. Does that explain why Nicola

:06:16. > :06:19.Sturgeon noted the final policy position on Europe would depend on

:06:20. > :06:22.prevailing circumstances to be absolutely clear full membership

:06:23. > :06:29.remains SNP policy for the big Scotland has been taken out of the

:06:30. > :06:32.new, might the initial focus be upon retaining the single market? The

:06:33. > :06:37.single market membership is really important for Scotland. Exports

:06:38. > :06:44.depend on it, jobs depend on it. Respectable EU nationals and

:06:45. > :06:49.Scottish jobs depending on them, we need the single market. The problem

:06:50. > :06:53.is we have no clarity from the Brexit position from the United

:06:54. > :06:58.Kingdom government. We need clarity. Just now it is looking worrying

:06:59. > :07:04.indeed. If it is a running jump of a hard Brexit cliff said that is good

:07:05. > :07:07.for Scotland and we an alternative. It is about having a Scottish seat

:07:08. > :07:12.around the table to fix it. That is what we can do with independence. In

:07:13. > :07:16.the 2014 referendum, 16 and 17-year-olds had a vote and they

:07:17. > :07:21.were included in the survey for the first time with the young

:07:22. > :07:23.substantially backing independence. Scotland's choice if and when it

:07:24. > :07:25.arises again. Can we actually get any

:07:26. > :07:38.clarity on this issue Clarity is a rare and precious

:07:39. > :07:44.commodity in the miasma of uncertainty surrounding wrecks it

:07:45. > :07:57.and the independence referendum. -- wrecks it. -- Brexit. I do not think

:07:58. > :08:00.they will talk about the mantle of the existing UK membership. They

:08:01. > :08:03.would be in favour of discussions and negotiations, either protracted

:08:04. > :08:09.or according to the SNP, relatively easy with Labour leave Brussels

:08:10. > :08:14.welcoming Scottish membership. There is the question of the objective. I

:08:15. > :08:19.think it possible. You heard Fiona Hislop. She said it is impossible to

:08:20. > :08:23.be precise because there is zero clarity from the UK position. Around

:08:24. > :08:26.the time of the referendum they might be setting out something of a

:08:27. > :08:30.route map which perhaps in the first instance might involvement the ship

:08:31. > :08:34.of the single market as the top priority. It has to be stressed and

:08:35. > :08:39.Nicola Sturgeon and others might be stressing they still see as the

:08:40. > :08:40.objective Scotland as an independent member state of the European Union.

:08:41. > :08:44.Thank you, Brian. Five of the six families,

:08:45. > :08:46.promised an investigation following the deaths

:08:47. > :08:48.of their babies, have been excluded The Health Secretary

:08:49. > :08:51.ordered the review following the "unnecessary" deaths

:08:52. > :08:53.of six babies at Crosshouse hospital in Ayrshire,

:08:54. > :08:55.in the past nine years. The review team says it's

:08:56. > :08:57.offered an open invitation But the BBC has learned it will only

:08:58. > :09:02.formally look at cases that happened Our correspondent Lucy Adams has

:09:03. > :09:21.been looking at the story. Good evening. The Scottish Cup and

:09:22. > :09:27.has recorded a review of care at a Scottish hospital. The Government

:09:28. > :09:31.ordered a review into six baby death at Crosshouse Hospital in command.

:09:32. > :09:36.The six families, five have been excluded from the review. Some have

:09:37. > :09:42.asked that we do not identify them. Babies a, B and C will not be

:09:43. > :09:48.included. Police who died in 2009 and Campbell who died during

:09:49. > :09:52.childbirth in 2012 will also be excluded for the Lucas Morton is the

:09:53. > :09:57.only case from the original six who will definitely be included. He died

:09:58. > :10:03.during childbirth in November, 2015. Rebecca Pringle who was not part of

:10:04. > :10:09.the original six was born in December, 2011. She won't be

:10:10. > :10:14.included in the review either. Rebecca was born at the hospital

:10:15. > :10:19.five years ago. Her mother was told she would not survive. They told me

:10:20. > :10:23.that Rebecca would be transferred to the hospital. At the hospital they

:10:24. > :10:27.told me Rebecca would die on Christmas Eve at ten o'clock in the

:10:28. > :10:33.morning and they took her ventilator off. What happened then? Rebecca

:10:34. > :10:40.continued to breed. They do not know why. She should have passed away.

:10:41. > :10:44.She has cerebral palsy and cannot walk or talk and finds Aquarians

:10:45. > :10:51.soothing. I find it disgusting it takes families to dying children to

:10:52. > :10:57.die before the Government listens. Dawn says her life was split apart

:10:58. > :11:02.when her daughter died in 2009. We thought that this is finally a

:11:03. > :11:07.chance. It is absolutely devastating to find out there is a cut-off

:11:08. > :11:13.point. It is almost like our stories are not valued and the experiences

:11:14. > :11:20.we have been through, they mean nothing. The reason that December

:11:21. > :11:24.2013 was chosen by the health care Scotland as the date was many of the

:11:25. > :11:28.cases had already been looked at during a previous review. They have

:11:29. > :11:31.spoken to those families and any issues emerging from those

:11:32. > :11:37.discussions, even if those cases that predated December 2013 should

:11:38. > :11:40.be part of their report. Families like Rebecca's they may have always

:11:41. > :11:46.wanted answers are not compensation. They want to ensure mistakes are not

:11:47. > :11:50.needed. The H IS review is due to be published shortly. If the family do

:11:51. > :11:54.not get answers, some believe the next step is public enquiry.

:11:55. > :11:57.Unemployment in Scotland has fallen for the first time in four months.

:11:58. > :12:02.The latest figures show the number of people out of work

:12:03. > :12:05.between November and January was down by 16,000.

:12:06. > :12:07.But there's a warning that political uncertainty is denting

:12:08. > :12:14.Our correspondent David Henderson reports.

:12:15. > :12:22.It is firms like this one which are driving up employment in Scotland.

:12:23. > :12:26.Glasgow based Allied vehicles has found a booming market for its

:12:27. > :12:32.wheelchair accessible cars and vans. And boosted its workforce with 200

:12:33. > :12:38.new staff in just the last two years for the now it is looking to France

:12:39. > :12:42.and Germany for new sales. So I asked the company's and if the

:12:43. > :12:52.Brexit vote throws a spanner in the works. People come from the

:12:53. > :12:56.continent, Europe. Sales wise we are seeing an increase in sales. Between

:12:57. > :13:02.the two, we're in a better position at the moment, the Euro against the

:13:03. > :13:07.pound and export is really good for us. This company is growing fast.

:13:08. > :13:12.Others are more concerned about the road ahead. As the UK looks to leave

:13:13. > :13:15.the European Union, some firms are holding off from making key

:13:16. > :13:22.decisions on investment and employment. For now, the latest jobs

:13:23. > :13:25.market figures are pointing in the right direction. The unemployment

:13:26. > :13:29.rates and employment rates in Scotland are pretty much where they

:13:30. > :13:33.were before the financial crash although those years ago. As always,

:13:34. > :13:38.it is a mixed picture. There are some weaknesses in the labour

:13:39. > :13:45.market. Wages are still below the prerecession level real terms. In

:13:46. > :13:50.activity in the last year in Scotland has increased. That is

:13:51. > :13:56.people who are not in work and not seeking work. So, what lies ahead.

:13:57. > :14:00.The's economy? The survey suggests employers could be planning job cuts

:14:01. > :14:04.in the coming months. We see two things. There will be a very large

:14:05. > :14:10.financial services sector in Scotland which will begin to fall.

:14:11. > :14:17.There is a lot of uncertainty now, both with the referendum for

:14:18. > :14:21.independence and also with Brexit. Some employers see that uncertainty

:14:22. > :14:24.as grounds to be cautious, to batten down the hatches. For others, it is

:14:25. > :14:29.business as usual. You're watching BBC

:14:30. > :14:30.Reporting Scotland. There've been angry exchanges

:14:31. > :14:36.at Prime Minister's Questions over Brexit and an independence

:14:37. > :14:37.referendum. An ?8 million fund is

:14:38. > :14:41.launched to help restore Scotland's peatlands and reduce

:14:42. > :14:49.greenhouse gas emissions. Police say they're investigating

:14:50. > :14:52.whether a series of shootings in the Glasgow area in the past few

:14:53. > :14:54.weeks are linked. They're also trying to establish

:14:55. > :14:57.if they're part of a turf war Our Home Affairs Correspondent

:14:58. > :15:03.Reevel Alderson reports on the history of gang-related

:15:04. > :15:17.violence in west central Scotland. It is 2006 and this garage in North

:15:18. > :15:25.Glasgow is where a feud between two Glasgow families erupted. Police

:15:26. > :15:29.animation revealed to a jury web two men, working for the Daniel family,

:15:30. > :15:35.had shot dead a member of the Lions clan and badly winded two others. In

:15:36. > :15:41.January, 2010, a man he worked for the Daniel family was gunned down in

:15:42. > :15:46.a supermarket car park. A convicted kid came dealer was charged with the

:15:47. > :15:51.murder. He was cleared. For a short time there appeared to be a truce in

:15:52. > :15:56.the war. It sparks up and then it dies down. I am sure they do not

:15:57. > :15:59.through intermediaries have a proper truth but they backed off from time

:16:00. > :16:07.to time. What we are seeing now is it is all about business and drugs

:16:08. > :16:14.and it is for control of the hugely lucrative drugs market. In recent

:16:15. > :16:20.months, it has appeared the truce has ended. The Duchess bug in

:16:21. > :16:23.September 2015, a man was shot outside Bishopbriggs primary school.

:16:24. > :16:30.A drug dealer was murdered at traffic lights in Kelling Park. That

:16:31. > :16:40.is a Park. I'm shot outside a primary school. There was another

:16:41. > :16:44.shooting outside Shawlands. Police say they cannot rule out links

:16:45. > :16:48.between the shootings and organised crime. The reality is there are

:16:49. > :16:52.serious organised crime groups. These groups do have access to

:16:53. > :16:56.weapons and are not afraid to use these weapons in public places

:16:57. > :17:01.against each other. We need to investigate that to try and

:17:02. > :17:05.determine a motive. There are a number of activities that these

:17:06. > :17:08.organised crime groups become involved in, the money-laundering or

:17:09. > :17:12.drugs or that the types of things we need to look at to establish whether

:17:13. > :17:16.there are links between the incidents that have taken place.

:17:17. > :17:19.Detectives say all the shootings have been targeted but gathering

:17:20. > :17:23.evidence to establish if they are linked takes time.

:17:47. > :17:48.in January, blocking it for 19 hours,

:17:49. > :17:51.has been fined ?1000, banned from driving for two years

:19:02. > :19:06.They hold the equivalent of about a years of our emissions from

:19:07. > :19:10.Scotland, all the industry, so it's important we are holding it in

:19:11. > :19:14.place. If it goes into the atmosphere it is going to exacerbate

:19:15. > :19:17.climate change and that is why we are doing this, to cap it and keep

:19:18. > :19:27.it in place. This wonderland contains about 12 kilometres which

:19:28. > :19:33.is being rebuilt. We keep pushing down. Keep pushing until it

:19:40. > :19:43.Without the restoration it's released into the atmosphere,

:19:44. > :19:51.contributing to climate change. Work like this is still in its relative

:19:56. > :20:01.have 20,000 text ears restored every year until 2032. The restoration

:20:02. > :20:07.here cannot go ahead without the consent of landowners and for many

:20:08. > :20:10.it seems counterintuitive. I did think that sounds very odd because

:20:11. > :20:16.back in the 70s my mother got grants to do a lot of training and this

:20:17. > :20:23.seemed to be going completely the opposite way. But thinking on it,

:20:24. > :20:29.it's going to benefit wildlife. Around 1.7 million hectares in

:21:58. > :21:59.against Namibia's Julius Indongo next month, but BBC Scotland has

:22:00. > :22:04.been to his Essex training base to see what it takes to get

:22:05. > :22:07.ready for such a clash. It provided a snapshot

:22:08. > :22:10.of the intense physical and mental preparation required before stepping

:22:11. > :22:28.into the ring in Glasgow in April. Early morning and Ricky Burns is

:22:29. > :22:34.hundreds of miles from home. It's the first of many gut-wrenching runs

:22:35. > :22:39.in the streets of Brentwood NSX. 12 weeks, that's how long I usually

:22:40. > :22:44.come down for. Maybe a week or two weeks and then home for a weekend.

:22:45. > :22:48.You are training to three times a day so you have no time for anything

:22:49. > :22:53.else so it's good being down here because you are away from all the

:22:54. > :23:02.distractions. First test of the day, the dreaded triangle. Just under 1.2

:23:03. > :23:06.kilometres, there are some hills involved as well. You do it once,

:23:07. > :23:13.get unaddressed, go again, and another minutes rest, that's the way

:23:14. > :23:19.they like to work it. The camp is run by trainer Tony Simms. Is good

:23:20. > :23:23.to work with, he's the ultimate professional. He loves training,

:23:24. > :23:34.always doing the right thing, always eats well. He lives well. He trains

:23:35. > :23:38.really hard. Back, had breakfast, just chilled out for a couple of

:23:39. > :23:44.hours and now we are on our way to the gym for the second session. Once

:23:45. > :23:50.that's done, same again, same routine, home, chill out for a bit

:23:51. > :23:54.and then back to the gym tonight. The intense training programme is

:23:55. > :24:01.geared towards victory and unification of the WBA and IBF light

:24:02. > :24:05.welterweight titles. Expecting a hard fight, big tall southpaw, big

:24:06. > :24:11.long-range, but if it all goes to plan I'm up for that. Every minute

:24:12. > :24:20.counts in Ricky Burns preparations, the big fight in Glasgow on the 15th

:24:21. > :24:25.of April. The gloves are off for the forecast because we are expecting

:24:26. > :24:32.some snow? In the hills, don't get excited. It

:24:33. > :24:37.was not too bad today, some sunshine around, cloudy conditions for many,

:24:38. > :24:42.the atmosphere at a picture from our weather watcher. High-pressure to

:24:43. > :24:48.the south, low pressure to the north, warm sector conditions

:24:49. > :24:52.meaning it will be a wild night, -- mild night. Quite breezy around the

:24:53. > :24:57.West Coast, light rain and drizzle across the north-west and at times

:24:58. > :25:01.elsewhere as well. Some hill fog and perhaps some mist and Mark around

:25:02. > :25:07.the coast. The overnight temperatures in towns and cities

:25:08. > :25:11.around 7-9dC for many so quite mild. That's how we start tomorrow, a mild

:25:12. > :25:15.and fairly cloudy morning with some outbreaks of rain. As we head

:25:16. > :25:19.towards lunchtime the wet weather turning heavier and more persistent

:25:20. > :25:22.so a soggy lunch and early afternoon but it is clearing through,

:25:23. > :25:28.brightening up behind it but also turning colder. Let's look at

:25:29. > :25:33.mid-afternoon, still across parts of Lanarkshire, Lothian and Borders

:25:34. > :25:37.still quite cloudy and wet but further west towards part of Galilee

:25:38. > :25:42.and ears are drying up, some sunshine. North of the central belt

:25:43. > :25:50.it's pretty bright, some sunshine but it will be thoroughly blustery,

:25:51. > :25:53.temperatures falling away. It's going to feel chilly, and the snow

:25:54. > :25:59.as well but it's in the hills and mountains. As we head through

:26:00. > :26:03.towards the evening, the rain clears, it remains breezy and

:26:04. > :26:05.showery and further wintry conditions across high ground.

:26:06. > :26:10.Looking ahead towards the end of the week on Friday still fairly breezy

:26:11. > :26:14.and then we have this area of rain edging and from the Atlantic. Let's

:26:15. > :26:18.take a closer look, for the central belt and South it's pretty wet and

:26:19. > :26:24.great, further north some sunshine but where we have the wet weather it

:26:25. > :26:28.will be quite cold, 4-6dC, breezy as well in the south-west. That's the

:26:29. > :26:32.forecast. Now, a reminder of

:26:33. > :26:34.tonight's main news. The Prime Minister claims Scotland

:26:35. > :26:37.will be leaving the European Union regardless of whether or not

:26:38. > :26:39.we vote for independence. Meanwhile the SNPs Westminster
