:00:00. > :00:08.So it's goodbye from me. And on BBC One, we now join

:00:09. > :00:10.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland? Facing cancer fears -

:00:11. > :00:14.this offshore worker and his colleagues have been

:00:15. > :00:16.exposed to radiation on a North Sea platform.

:00:17. > :00:25.We are just hoping that somebody will step forward and take hold of

:00:26. > :00:27.the situation and start doing the right thing, rather than just try

:00:28. > :00:31.and sweep it under the table. A former youth football

:00:32. > :00:34.scout is arrested as part of the investigation

:00:35. > :00:36.into historical sex abuse. IVF treatment - patients

:00:37. > :00:38.could now qualify for three cycles of treatment,

:00:39. > :00:41.instead of two, under new NHS rules. How to deal with a housing

:00:42. > :00:44.shortage in one of the most And doing something funny for money

:00:45. > :00:49.- we look at one of the projects An offshore worker has called

:00:50. > :01:14.for action after he and colleagues were exposed to radiation

:01:15. > :01:16.on a North sea platform. Rigging supervisor Steve Innes says

:01:17. > :01:20.he has struggled to find work since raising concerns -

:01:21. > :01:22.and now faces cancer The operator of the Thistle

:01:23. > :01:27.platform, Enquest, says its put in place additional precautionary

:01:28. > :01:29.steps since the incident Rebecca Curran has

:01:30. > :01:43.this exclusive report. Steve Innes has worked offshore for

:01:44. > :01:48.nearly 30 years. He has spent the last four months at home. He and

:01:49. > :01:50.five Wood Group colleagues were working on the Thistle platform when

:01:51. > :02:00.they were exposed to alpha radiation. We can only go and look

:02:01. > :02:07.at our permit, and look at the necessary PPE. You can only do your

:02:08. > :02:11.job well if they use prepare you for it. And they didn't prepare as well

:02:12. > :02:20.for it. In fact they got it totally wrong. Thistle is operated by

:02:21. > :02:25.EnQuest. Steve has not had work since December. He fears he is being

:02:26. > :02:28.shunned for speaking out. The Unite union say they have no direct

:02:29. > :02:33.evidence of blacklisting, but the threat of it prevents workers from

:02:34. > :02:38.reporting such incidents. It does happen, we know it does happen. An

:02:39. > :02:41.incident like this, if it is ongoing, it is unlikely they would

:02:42. > :02:42.want people back while the investigation is ongoing. How are

:02:43. > :02:48.the men now? Worried, worried for investigation is ongoing. How are

:02:49. > :02:56.their future, for their health. They have not had any support which would

:02:57. > :03:00.help them through that. They've got a very uncertain future going ahead.

:03:01. > :03:06.One thing is certain - Steve and his former colleagues now face tests

:03:07. > :03:08.every six months for the rest of their lives. Exposure to alpha

:03:09. > :03:12.radiation could have no impact at all on their health, but possible

:03:13. > :03:18.effects can be severe, including cancer. Some of us can't go to work,

:03:19. > :03:23.he is on medication, he is not sleeping, he's worried about it. He

:03:24. > :03:26.has been sent for whatever tests, waiting for the results to come

:03:27. > :03:32.back, like we all are. And we're just hoping that somebody will step

:03:33. > :03:36.forward and take a hold of the situation and start doing the right

:03:37. > :03:42.thing, you know? Rather than just try and sweep it under the table.

:03:43. > :03:44.EnQuest say additional precautionary steps have since been taken.

:03:45. > :03:49.And Rebecca Curran joins me now from Aberdeen.

:03:50. > :03:57.What other companies involved saying about this? Well, Wood Group, which

:03:58. > :04:00.employed the contractors, say their health and safety of their workers

:04:01. > :04:04.is always their top priority. After the incident, they took the men off

:04:05. > :04:08.the platform as a precaution and sent them for medical tests. An

:04:09. > :04:12.investigation was then launched with the operator of the platform,

:04:13. > :04:18.EnQuest. EnQuest say that the level of radiation the men were exposed to

:04:19. > :04:20.was less than 1% of the level which would have meant they needed to

:04:21. > :04:24.report the incident to the Health and Safety Executive. However, the

:04:25. > :04:29.Health and Safety Executive were told at the time. They say

:04:30. > :04:32.appropriate protections hasn't already in place, but since the

:04:33. > :04:35.incident, further precautionary steps have been taken. The Health

:04:36. > :04:40.and Safety Executive say that none of the workers involved raised

:04:41. > :04:43.concerns with them so they did not carry out any investigation. It

:04:44. > :04:47.should be pointed out that although we are being told that the level of

:04:48. > :04:50.radiation these men were exposed to was very low, they are now facing a

:04:51. > :04:55.lifetime of blood tests and uncertainty. And they say they

:04:56. > :04:58.should never have been put in this position in the first place.

:04:59. > :05:00.A former youth football scout has been arrested by police

:05:01. > :05:02.investigating allegations of historical sex abuse.

:05:03. > :05:04.Harry Dunn worked for Rangers, and also Chelsea and Liverpool.

:05:05. > :05:15.Our home affairs correspondent Reevel Alderson reports.

:05:16. > :05:22.This arrest follows the announcement last year that Police Scotland was

:05:23. > :05:24.amongst almost 20 forces across the UK which had launched investigations

:05:25. > :05:30.into allegations of child abuse within football. Harry Dunn worked

:05:31. > :05:37.with the Rangers youth side in the 1980s. In a statement, police said

:05:38. > :05:42.an 84-year-old man had been arrested and charged with a number of

:05:43. > :05:49.non-recent sexual offences. Earlier this year, Jim McCafferty, a four it

:05:50. > :05:55.man and coach at Hibs, Celtic and Falkirk, now 70, was remanded in

:05:56. > :05:58.custody in Northern Ireland charged with sexual activity with a boy

:05:59. > :06:03.under 16. He will be tried later this year. The Scottish Football

:06:04. > :06:05.Association has launched an investigation following reports from

:06:06. > :06:12.high-profile players of abuse within the game. They include allegations

:06:13. > :06:18.against SFA match official Hugh Stevenson and John Hart, Partick

:06:19. > :06:21.Thistle's trainer. They are both now dead. Police Scotland is

:06:22. > :06:23.investigating more than 130 referrals after a hotline was set up

:06:24. > :06:26.last year. Patients referred to the NHS

:06:27. > :06:28.for fertility treatment could be eligible for three full cycles

:06:29. > :06:31.of IVF treatment from next month. The Scottish Government

:06:32. > :06:34.is to increase the number of cycles for women under 40,

:06:35. > :06:51.following recommendations It's exhausting being in the public

:06:52. > :06:53.eye. A photocall for these little ones with a government minister.

:06:54. > :07:00.This one is almost three months old. His mum and dad had fertility

:07:01. > :07:03.treatments to have him. It took us between two years and two-and-a-half

:07:04. > :07:11.years to get where we are now. We are grateful that we have him. We

:07:12. > :07:19.were offered two cycles. Third time lucky. And this they be will be six

:07:20. > :07:26.months old on Mother's Day. It's hard going, very hard going, very

:07:27. > :07:33.emotionally draining. And it feels like a bit of a never rating process

:07:34. > :07:39.at times. But worth it? Absolutely worth it, worth every minute of it.

:07:40. > :07:42.We are inside a fertility lab here at the Edinburgh royal infirmary.

:07:43. > :07:47.One in seven couples have difficulty when it comes to conceiving a child,

:07:48. > :07:51.and 2% of babies are born as a result of some sort of fertility

:07:52. > :07:57.treatment. That now means over 2 million babies that have been born

:07:58. > :08:01.worldwide. From the 1st of April, up until their 40th birthday, eligible

:08:02. > :08:07.women in Scotland will be entitled to three full cycles of IVF on the

:08:08. > :08:11.NHS. Those between 40 and 42 will be offered one round if they fit

:08:12. > :08:19.certain additional criteria. In England, the provision depends on

:08:20. > :08:21.where you live. In Wales they are entitled to two cycles, and in

:08:22. > :08:26.Northern Ireland, one on the National Health Service. The move is

:08:27. > :08:32.expected to cost the NHS in Scotland around ?1 million a year. That is

:08:33. > :08:35.what the Nice clinical guidance says, that couples should have three

:08:36. > :08:39.cycles. We have always wanted to make sure that there is fair access

:08:40. > :08:43.for couples who are having trouble conceiving. We believe this is the

:08:44. > :08:47.right thing to do, it is on the back of investment that we have made over

:08:48. > :08:50.the last five years, and we want to continue to enhance the provision

:08:51. > :08:58.across the country. Both families we met today think this news will give

:08:59. > :09:01.hope to many couples. It is disheartening when they keep saying

:09:02. > :09:05.to you, you are not pregnant, keep trying again. You are physically

:09:06. > :09:06.tired. But when you get the news that you are pregnant, it is the

:09:07. > :09:12.best thing ever. NHS Grampian has apologised

:09:13. > :09:14.after an air ambulance was sent to Shetland instead of Orkney

:09:15. > :09:17.to pick up a sick baby. The Scottish Ambulance Service plane

:09:18. > :09:19.was despatched last Friday night. Only on landing in Shetland did

:09:20. > :09:22.the crew discover that the infant The baby eventually arrived safely

:09:23. > :09:25.at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital nearly ten hours after

:09:26. > :09:28.the initial call. NHS Grampian says it was

:09:29. > :09:37.an isolated mistake. Civilian staff at the Faslane and

:09:38. > :09:40.Coulport naval bases on the Clyde, home to the UK's fleet

:09:41. > :09:42.of nuclear Trident submarines, have begun a series

:09:43. > :09:45.of strikes, in a dispute with Babcock Marine

:09:46. > :09:47.over workers' rights. The Unite union said a continuous

:09:48. > :09:50.overtime and on-call ban, and staggered periods of strike

:09:51. > :09:52.action, would affect Babcock Marine said

:09:53. > :09:57.it was "disappointed and perplexed by Unite's actions" and remained

:09:58. > :09:59.committed to finding Students from other EU countries,

:10:00. > :10:09.who start university courses here next year

:10:10. > :10:11.will still get free tuition - even though they won't finish

:10:12. > :10:14.their studies until after Britain The Education Secretary,

:10:15. > :10:17.John Swinney, announced Our education correspondent Jamie

:10:18. > :10:23.McIvor is at Glasgow University. Jamie - why has the Scottish

:10:24. > :10:35.Government taken this decision? Well, just to remind you, the

:10:36. > :10:39.Scottish Government sees free choice and the Scots as one of its biggest

:10:40. > :10:42.achievements. European law means that EU students have to get free

:10:43. > :10:48.choice in, too. Just to set the scene, we are not talking about

:10:49. > :10:52.students who are here for a few months, we are talking about

:10:53. > :10:56.students from other EU countries who have chosen to come to Scotland for

:10:57. > :10:59.the whole of their degree. There are some 15,000 of them in Scotland at

:11:00. > :11:04.the moment. John Swinney has now offered for some certainty for those

:11:05. > :11:07.hoping to start in 2018, saying they will be able to conclude their

:11:08. > :11:13.studies here without paying tuition fees. Obviously, the impact of

:11:14. > :11:16.wrecks is significant, and students are affected by this. The Scottish

:11:17. > :11:21.Government wants to make it Chris talk later EU students that if they

:11:22. > :11:24.come to Scotland in 2018, their fees will be paid by the Scottish

:11:25. > :11:30.Government for the entire duration of their course. We hope that that

:11:31. > :11:32.will help give certainty and clarity where there is a lack of certainty

:11:33. > :11:38.and clarity under the Brexit process. Certainty and clarity, but

:11:39. > :11:44.does it make sense? Well, certainly as far as the decision for students

:11:45. > :11:48.starting in 2018 is concerned, that will be broadly welcomed by many

:11:49. > :11:53.within universities. But there is concern that uncertainty could deter

:11:54. > :11:56.applicants. Longer term, I think there could be questions over

:11:57. > :12:01.whether free tuition for EU students is still a good idea or not, if,

:12:02. > :12:07.come 2019, Scotland is outside the European Union, and was still

:12:08. > :12:11.voluntarily providing free tuition for EU students, would it prove to

:12:12. > :12:13.be politically acceptable or not? I think that is a debate which we

:12:14. > :12:17.could see over the coming months and years.

:12:18. > :12:20.It's six months to the day since the RAF gunner

:12:21. > :12:22.Corrie Mckeague, vanished after a night out in the Suffolk

:12:23. > :12:26.Today, police gave an update on their search of a landfill site

:12:27. > :12:30.Detectives also confirmed that they have been joined on site

:12:31. > :12:32.by a team from the Health and Safety Executive.

:12:33. > :12:45.The police are now three weeks into this search, which they say could

:12:46. > :12:49.take up to ten weeks. The officers involved are specially trained and

:12:50. > :12:56.have already been through more than a 845 tonnes of material, as they

:12:57. > :13:01.hunt for signs of comment. It is a massive operation. Working alongside

:13:02. > :13:05.the team are officials from the Health and Safety Executive. Both

:13:06. > :13:10.the police and Corrie's mother say they believe he will be found here.

:13:11. > :13:13.If and when that discovery comes, the health and safety team on site

:13:14. > :13:17.will need to start their own detailed work, going back

:13:18. > :13:21.step-by-step through every stage of the system, when that waste was

:13:22. > :13:28.picked up in Bury St Edmunds and placed in landfill 35 miles away. To

:13:29. > :13:31.answer the obvious question, why wasn't Corrie detected, and to make

:13:32. > :13:35.sure that something similar cannot happen in the future. This posture

:13:36. > :13:39.was always one possible line of inquiry, but at the start of this

:13:40. > :13:43.month, it became the main focus, with fresh data confirming that the

:13:44. > :13:48.wait of the waste collected was heavy enough to have contained

:13:49. > :13:51.Corrie. Suffolk police today spoke about the thousands of hours of

:13:52. > :13:55.investigative work which have already been completed. Yet six

:13:56. > :13:56.months since this young airman vanished, the agonising wait for

:13:57. > :14:02.answers continues. You're watching BBC

:14:03. > :14:03.Reporting Scotland. This offshore worker

:14:04. > :14:11.and his colleagues have been exposed to radiation

:14:12. > :14:13.on a North Sea platform. How shipping containers

:14:14. > :14:19.are being used to solve a housing shortage in one of the most crowded

:14:20. > :14:35.parts of Glasgow. There are around 3500 people with

:14:36. > :14:40.Down's syndrome in Scotland. According to a report, there is a

:14:41. > :14:44.significant gap in their NHS care provision. The report also

:14:45. > :14:45.highlights negative attitudes from health professionals and poor

:14:46. > :14:54.communication with their families. Can you see past Jamie's Down's

:14:55. > :15:15.syndrome? Can you see past Kasey -- that is what Down's

:15:16. > :15:18.syndrome Scotland want you to do. Mother Taylor has first-hand

:15:19. > :15:24.experience. The doctor sat us down and said don't expect your daughter

:15:25. > :15:32.to walk or talk or anything and just left us. I was 16 when I had her.

:15:33. > :15:44.Don't expect her to walk or talk or do anything. They just threw a load

:15:45. > :15:48.of old leaflets at us. This is the ABC class. Achieving better

:15:49. > :15:52.communication. That is done through singing ink. This kind of

:15:53. > :16:01.specialist service is vital for their development. -- signing. There

:16:02. > :16:06.is a lack of understanding or a lack of availability of information. We

:16:07. > :16:13.knew nothing about Downs syndrome. We don't know where to turn. There

:16:14. > :16:18.is a lot of negative stuff out there. Again, it depends where you

:16:19. > :16:22.live. Even down to the individual health professionals. The report

:16:23. > :16:26.recognises that many families have had good experience with the health

:16:27. > :16:29.service and that attitudes have changed considerably over the years

:16:30. > :16:34.that there is still a long way to go. There are a lot of myths that

:16:35. > :16:38.still float around society. People with Down's syndrome cannot read or

:16:39. > :16:44.write or go to mainstream schools. People with down syndrome die when

:16:45. > :16:51.they are young. Lots of those things are not true. The average life

:16:52. > :16:55.expectancy today is around 60. Lots of those things are inaccurate. That

:16:56. > :17:02.makes people afraid of the condition. The Scottish Government

:17:03. > :17:07.says it will take the recommendations from the Down's

:17:08. > :17:08.syndrome Scotland report forward and hopes other boards across Scotland

:17:09. > :17:11.will as well. The way police and prosecutors

:17:12. > :17:13.in Scotland deal with New guidelines have been agreed

:17:14. > :17:17.in the light of government plans to widen the definition

:17:18. > :17:20.of what constitutes domestic abuse. A protocol launched today

:17:21. > :17:22.by the Crown Office and Police Scotland will do more

:17:23. > :17:24.to protect victims of domestic abuse,

:17:25. > :17:40.particularly children. We are now much more aware of the

:17:41. > :17:46.rights and interests of children full stop it is important that in

:17:47. > :17:51.this protocol we explicitly make clear to police that they should

:17:52. > :17:55.attend to the safety and well-being of children at a domestic abuse

:17:56. > :17:59.incident. And also take account of children, if children have been

:18:00. > :18:03.present or witnessed abuse. A new housing development

:18:04. > :18:04.is rapidly taking shape When it's finished, it'll provide

:18:05. > :18:08.a comfortable home to more But what's unusual is that it's

:18:09. > :18:12.built from shipping containers. Our business correspondent,

:18:13. > :18:13.David Henderson has been Now it's home to these

:18:14. > :18:31.seven storey buildings. And it's all happened fast,

:18:32. > :18:33.because these are no They're both from

:18:34. > :18:44.shipping containers, they are bought from road

:18:45. > :18:57.from Southampton up to Glasgow and a very large crane is used

:18:58. > :19:00.to load them onto the site, much like you or I would have loaded

:19:01. > :19:03.Lego when we were very small. In less than ten weeks,

:19:04. > :19:07.this site's been transformed Each of the containers

:19:08. > :19:10.is already fully fitted. When it's finished, this grand

:19:11. > :19:12.design will include a helter-skelter As well as a wardrobe,

:19:13. > :19:21.there is an ensuite bathroom. Around here, we've got

:19:22. > :19:30.an oven, kitchenette area, This is about as far

:19:31. > :19:35.from old-style traditional student Off-site, building is more common

:19:36. > :19:44.small building than might think. The Commonwealth building

:19:45. > :19:46.village was made that way. This architect still

:19:49. > :19:53.accommodation to modular components of commercial buildings

:19:54. > :19:55.in hospitals, hotel accommodation, a whole variety of different

:19:56. > :19:57.applications of domestic There's a huge opportunity

:19:58. > :20:09.for that type of technology. With Scotland facing a huge shortage

:20:10. > :20:14.of affordable homes, some think this could help

:20:15. > :20:16.solve the problem. It's like children's building

:20:17. > :20:23.blocks on a grand scale. An elderly sheepdog has been rescued

:20:24. > :20:26.from a gorge in the Highlands, Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team

:20:27. > :20:30.were alerted by someone on a train, who spotted Nell

:20:31. > :20:33.yesterday near Roybridge. Rescuers had to use ropes to access

:20:34. > :20:36.the gorge and then coax the reluctant Collie out -

:21:26. > :21:27.ticket, no matter what. What we did with our terms and conditions is to

:21:28. > :21:32.try to ensure people understood what they were buying into. If people

:21:33. > :21:34.resell tickets, they might not get into the venue because we will be

:21:35. > :21:37.checking IDs. Funds raised from people doing

:21:59. > :22:07.inch to Springburn, Libby McArthur was much loved as Jena in River

:22:08. > :22:11.city. She is sharing not just drama skills but life skills with these

:22:12. > :22:19.boys, who come along to the Shine group. It is a chance not to sweat

:22:20. > :22:24.the small stuff. It is a chance to bond. It is a chance to find a place

:22:25. > :22:38.where you can be yourself. There is not an expectation. Special guest

:22:39. > :22:45.today is Jamie, who plays either in Still Game. I have got a nice

:22:46. > :22:50.overcoat you could use if the weather is bad. The sessions with

:22:51. > :22:53.the boys here are free and look good fun. Behind it lies the aim of

:22:54. > :22:57.making these youngsters more confident and I hope is they will

:22:58. > :23:02.then become involved in the mainstream drama group the project

:23:03. > :23:06.runs. Most actors I know are really shy and were really shy as kids. The

:23:07. > :23:11.reason why you want to get into acting is because you want to be

:23:12. > :23:16.someone else. I love putting a wig and glasses on and I can immerse

:23:17. > :23:19.myself in a different person. These 12-year-olds are nearing the end of

:23:20. > :23:24.the ten weekly sessions they are coming to. Comic Relief has given

:23:25. > :23:31.?100,000 over three years to fund the workshops. A variety of a group

:23:32. > :23:36.of youngsters are taking part. They would all benefit from the intense

:23:37. > :23:41.support to make them shine. It is a very small group. That means it's

:23:42. > :23:49.easy to socialise. I get really anxious and stuff. It helps my

:23:50. > :23:54.confidence. It has helped me to improve to do a lot of things.

:23:55. > :24:00.Basically, you think you are in a box and there is no escape. When you

:24:01. > :24:05.come to speak, you get rid of the box. It is not there. You can share

:24:06. > :24:11.anything with them. It makes me happy coming here and seeing my

:24:12. > :24:14.friends. The boys here are certainly very grateful for the money this

:24:15. > :24:30.project gets from Comic Relief. We are turning to notch up for the

:24:31. > :24:36.weekend. Some lovely spells of sunshine with high cloud spelling in

:24:37. > :24:41.and turning the blue skies a wee bit milky at times. Over the next few

:24:42. > :24:46.hours the cloud will be in an break, leaving it clear and cold for most.

:24:47. > :24:51.Across the far north, the Northern Isles, some bigger cloud will stay

:24:52. > :24:57.with us. A few spots of rain for Shetland. The breeze in the West and

:24:58. > :25:00.south-west. Temperatures flirting roundabout freezing. That means it

:25:01. > :25:04.is a chilly start to the day tomorrow but a bright and sunny one

:25:05. > :25:08.of the back is all thanks to high pressure which is staying with us

:25:09. > :25:11.through the course of the weekend. Around the northern flank of that

:25:12. > :25:16.high, there will be thicker cloud and a few spots of light rain

:25:17. > :25:22.particularly for the Northern Isles. South of Inverness it will be bright

:25:23. > :25:29.and dry and sunny. The winds will be light and temperatures on the up. By

:25:30. > :25:37.mid-afternoon we are into the teens, 14, 15 Celsius for many. For many,

:25:38. > :25:40.it will feel quite pleasant indeed. Across the north-east, 16, 17

:25:41. > :25:50.degrees as possible. Further east, you can see the cloud. Under the

:25:51. > :25:53.cloud it will be cooler, 10-12 C. If you are hill walking or climbing,

:25:54. > :25:59.fantastic conditions on the hills and mountains. Certainly across the

:26:00. > :26:05.northern ranges it will be windy but the winds will tend to ease down by

:26:06. > :26:11.the afternoon. On the eastern ranges similar conditions. Modric tomorrow.

:26:12. > :26:14.There is a chance of light sunburn. Fantastic visibility of your heading

:26:15. > :26:18.for the hills. The rest of the afternoon, into the evening and

:26:19. > :26:23.overnight, dry with lovely sunshine to end the day. Clear and cold

:26:24. > :26:26.overnight. Also, overnight, the clocks will spring forward one hour

:26:27. > :26:31.as we head through to Sunday morning. An hour less in bed Sunday

:26:32. > :26:35.morning but plenty of such I to help you get up and out and about. Sunday

:26:36. > :26:39.is another cracker of a day. Plenty of Son for most of us. Perhaps more

:26:40. > :26:45.cloud in the east by the afternoon. A bit cooler here. In the north-west

:26:46. > :26:49.16, 17 once again cloudy for the Northern Isles for the next week and

:26:50. > :26:52.we have no pressure out in the Atlantic which will edge its way

:26:53. > :26:57.into try to spoil the party roundabout midweek. Till then,

:26:58. > :27:01.largely dry. This weekend it is looking good. That is the forecast.

:27:02. > :27:04.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news...

:27:05. > :27:06.Police say they've made two more significant arrests

:27:07. > :27:09.as they try to establish whether the man who launched

:27:10. > :27:11.the attack on Westminster was working alone or with others.

:27:12. > :27:16.And a call for action after this man and his colleagues

:27:17. > :27:23.were exposed to radiation on a north sea platform.

:27:24. > :27:26.The operator says it has put in place additional

:27:27. > :27:28.precautionary steps since the incident in December.

:27:29. > :27:41.I'll be back with the late bulletin just

:27:42. > :27:44.Until then, from everyone on the team - right
