:00:16. > :00:23.women are being sold repeatedly to gangs in Glasgow as part of a crime
:00:24. > :00:28.at work. Asian crime gangs will provide accommodation. Also in the

:00:38. > :00:41.Craig Wighton arranges takeover. We made a couple taking on the big six

:00:52. > :01:05.the Scots should target a place in the semifinals.
:01:06. > :01:11.Good evening. A BBC investigation has discovered trafficked women are
:01:12. > :01:15.being sold repeatedly to Asian crime gangs in Glasgow as part of a
:01:16. > :01:19.massive international organised crime that work. Once in a vacuum
:01:20. > :01:26.goalless trafficked to the city three times, others have been sold
:01:27. > :01:32.and forced into sham marriages. The law enforcement agency is now
:01:33. > :01:36.investigating. Sam has this exclusive report.
:01:37. > :01:46.What you are watching is an illegal deal. How much do you want? This
:01:47. > :01:55.Romanian is selling a kidney to the woman beside him, she says he is his
:01:56. > :02:02.wife. He does these transplants all people are now the second most
:02:03. > :02:06.lucrative commodity next to drugs, sold for Labour or exploitation and
:02:07. > :02:09.for their organs. We discovered criminal gangs are now targeting
:02:10. > :02:17.specific areas of Scotland for the selling of women trafficked from
:02:18. > :02:24.abroad. There's a high number of victims and that's because there's a
:02:25. > :02:28.link between Eastern European crime gangs who have human trafficking is
:02:29. > :02:35.one of the things they do, but mixed with Asian crime gangs in Glasgow.
:02:36. > :02:40.So European crime gangs will provide victims and Asian will provide
:02:41. > :02:44.accommodation. I went to Slovakia to try and track down some of the
:02:45. > :02:47.victims, including one girl who was trafficked twice previously to
:02:48. > :02:57.Glasgow, but when we get to the house, we are in for a shock.
:02:58. > :03:02.You think your daughter may have been trafficked?
:03:03. > :03:07.Other victims also appear to have been trafficked again. We know now
:03:08. > :03:13.there are three girls currently missing, who are back in the UK in
:03:14. > :03:19.Glasgow? Yes. And inside this house, this girl was sold for a sham
:03:20. > :03:28.marriage by a family member. This birth certificate, there is no
:03:29. > :03:32.farther's name. It allows them to apply for EU residency. The family
:03:33. > :03:37.called the traffic and tell the mind they're asking awkward questions. If
:03:38. > :03:41.I start to ask the questions I really want to ask, the men are
:03:42. > :03:45.going to get very angry? I'm taken by a social worker to what is known
:03:46. > :03:49.locally as a transit house, where girls are kept for a few days before
:03:50. > :03:56.being transported to Glasgow for sham marriages. How many girls would
:03:57. > :04:05.have come? Five, ten? Hundreds? More than 100. Really? Really. Slovakian
:04:06. > :04:08.police discovered many sold into sham managers are then being
:04:09. > :04:19.sexually exploited by the men who buy them.
:04:20. > :04:24.Back in Scotland, I searched the marriage records and found numerous
:04:25. > :04:29.suspicious marriages between young Eastern European brides and older
:04:30. > :04:33.Asian men with the same address is being used on multiple occasions,
:04:34. > :04:39.and yet little trace of any of the couples living there. This street
:04:40. > :04:43.cropped up many times with numerous sham marriages attached to hear.
:04:44. > :04:46.This street has more than a dozen links to marriages between Pakistani
:04:47. > :04:49.This street has more than a dozen men and Eastern European brides in
:04:50. > :05:03.recent years. I'm going to try and see if I can speak to them. See if
:05:04. > :05:09.they are there. Hello, I'm looking for... He was registered as being
:05:10. > :05:15.married and living here, but he's not here? No. OK, the next one, the
:05:16. > :05:22.bride, the groom and the witness or gave this as the address. You don't
:05:23. > :05:26.know any of the names of the people? The man that was registered as
:05:27. > :05:28.living here, he's gone? And his wife, she's gone? Right, no luck
:05:29. > :05:35.living here, he's gone? And his getting anyone. One of a dozen
:05:36. > :05:42.marriages linked to this street. Brides, grooms, witnesses to the
:05:43. > :05:51.weddings, and of all of the doors I've knocked, not one couple lives
:05:52. > :05:57.there. Not one witness a nobody. Euro poll, the EU's Laurette agency,
:05:58. > :05:58.confirmed Scotland is now being specifically targeted by the
:05:59. > :06:03.trafficking trade. And you can watch Sam Poling's
:06:04. > :06:08.investigation Humans for Sale in full tonight on BBC One
:06:09. > :06:13.at 9pm. A lawyer who handled Craig Whyte's
:06:14. > :06:15.takeover of Rangers football club has told a court that Mr Whyte
:06:16. > :06:18.was presented as a man of the deal, that Craig Whyte had
:06:19. > :06:25.the funds available to buy the club. Mr Whyte denies fraud,
:06:26. > :06:27.in connection with his acquisition Our correspondent David
:06:28. > :06:38.Henderson reports. The London lawyer who played a key
:06:39. > :06:44.role in the deal to buy Rangers Football Club, Gary Withey. His
:06:45. > :06:49.client at the time, a company run by Craig Whyte, who acquired Rangers in
:06:50. > :06:52.2011. He is now on trial here at the High Court, accused of pretending he
:06:53. > :06:57.had the funds available to buy the Ibrox club. But Gary Withey said he
:06:58. > :07:03.got the impression Craig Whyte had lots of money. Gary Withey told the
:07:04. > :07:08.court that Craig Whyte was portrayed in the City of London as someone
:07:09. > :07:15.with substantial financial wealth. One person, he said, confused Craig
:07:16. > :07:19.Whyte with a whiskey tycoon. At one point, he said, that's who I thought
:07:20. > :07:24.I was dealing with. Much of today's evidence focused on whether Craig
:07:25. > :07:30.Whyte had the money needed to buy the Ibrox club, and the assurances
:07:31. > :07:35.Gary Withey gave our behalf of his company that funds were in place to
:07:36. > :07:39.make a deal possible. The jury was shown an e-mail, the so-called
:07:40. > :07:44.comfort letter, allegedly sent from Gary Withey's firm months before the
:07:45. > :07:51.club changed hands. The lawyers for the Rangers owners. In it it said
:07:52. > :07:53.there would be up to ?33 million in funding from a financial
:07:54. > :07:58.institution, to be utilised for the acquisition for the club. Gary
:07:59. > :08:05.Withey said, I would not have signed a comfort letter unless I had
:08:06. > :08:09.comfort. I don't like he said. It's not proper, you just don't do it.
:08:10. > :08:17.The prosecutor Alex Prentice highlighted a deal involving Craig
:08:18. > :08:21.Whyte and a company around the time Rangers was sold, Ticketus. An
:08:22. > :08:30.e-mail that said necessary steps had been taken for the sale of season
:08:31. > :08:33.tickets. Gary Withey returns to court tomorrow to give more
:08:34. > :08:37.evidence. Craig Whyte denies the charges on the trial continues.
:08:38. > :08:39.There's been a dispute over the impact of Brexit
:08:40. > :08:43.Doctors' leaders have warned of an uncertain future for more
:08:44. > :08:46.than 200 GPs in Scotland who came here from other parts
:08:47. > :08:57.This from our political editor Brian Taylor.
:08:58. > :09:05.The local GP, originally from Poland. Talk of Brexit leads her and
:09:06. > :09:12.fellow EU nationals anxious and they fellow EU nationals anxious and they
:09:13. > :09:17.-- their concern extends to their patients. I want my patients to have
:09:18. > :09:20.access to GPs whenever they need to, in emergency situations as well as
:09:21. > :09:24.routine appointments. I'm not sure what will happen to that. It can be
:09:25. > :09:28.potentially dangerous. The issue took centre stage in the election
:09:29. > :09:34.campaign today, with a focus on Brexit. Here's one I made earlier!
:09:35. > :09:40.Who made all the pies? Nicola Sturgeon did. She said the EU
:09:41. > :09:44.doctors issue proved the need for a big SNP presence in the Commons.
:09:45. > :09:48.This really highlights the dangers of a hard, reckless Brexit. That
:09:49. > :09:52.makes it really important that this election delivers MPs from Scotland,
:09:53. > :09:55.will fight Scotland's corner, not MPs who were just be a rubber stamp
:09:56. > :10:06.for Theresa May, whatever she wants to do. Kezia Dugdale is talking to
:10:07. > :10:11.worried nurses. Scottish ministers say they have funded every pay
:10:12. > :10:16.recommendation. The doctors, Labour says things can only get worse.
:10:17. > :10:21.There is a workforce crisis among GPs, but let's not pretend Brexit
:10:22. > :10:24.calls that, it existed long before that because of decisions SNP made.
:10:25. > :10:30.It would get worse with independence. In Dingwall Willie
:10:31. > :10:34.Rennie presses his case. He says the concern over doctors proves that
:10:35. > :10:38.Brexit is a blunder. It is one of the many reasons we're discovering
:10:39. > :10:41.as to why we should be remaining at the heart of Europe, because it's
:10:42. > :10:48.going to damage our NHS, with the loss of GPs. We're going to lose
:10:49. > :10:53.many nurses from the NHS as well. But what does it all mean for the
:10:54. > :10:57.price of fish? Ruth Davidson and Peterhead save the industry will
:10:58. > :11:01.gain from escaping EU rules. The SNP fears UK ministers will strike a
:11:02. > :11:07.deal to maintain access the EU fleets. And today's other European
:11:08. > :11:13.topic, the Tories say they want an agreement to keep EU doctors here,
:11:14. > :11:17.but they diagnose other health problems. We have to look at our NHS
:11:18. > :11:24.staff of the future. Why is it at the moment there is an ineffective
:11:25. > :11:26.cap on doctors going to medical schools and doctors for the future
:11:27. > :11:30.question about something we can sort in Scotland. Student numbers in
:11:31. > :11:35.medicine have long since been controlled but competition has eased
:11:36. > :11:38.slightly in recent years. Back in Millport, this doctor has just
:11:39. > :11:39.celebrated her first year as the island's GP. She hopes for many
:11:40. > :11:42.more. Health is a devolved matter -
:11:43. > :11:45.under the control of MSPs. And there was a debate on NHS pay
:11:46. > :11:49.at Holyrood this afternoon. Our political correspondent,
:11:50. > :12:04.Glenn Campbell's at This was a Labour Party debate,
:12:05. > :12:07.calling for NHS staff to have real terms pay rises. Instead the
:12:08. > :12:14.Scottish Government has offered to carry out a study on the effect of
:12:15. > :12:19.pay restraint. But during the debate one SNP MSP, a former nurse, became
:12:20. > :12:26.visibly upset. I hear what you're saying. My colleagues would love a
:12:27. > :12:32.pay rise, but how can we do that with constraints that we are being
:12:33. > :12:38.put under? Constant austerity measures of the Tory government?
:12:39. > :12:42.In response, the Conservatives pointed out that NHS Scotland has
:12:43. > :12:48.been under SNP control for the last ten years, and they said it was
:12:49. > :12:53.entirely for the SNP here at Holyrood to decide how much of their
:12:54. > :12:58.budget to spend on health. On the general election front, what
:12:59. > :13:02.other developments today? The Scottish Conservative leader
:13:03. > :13:08.Aretha Davidson told the BBC she is open to reviewing the operation of
:13:09. > :13:13.the so-called rape clause. The exception that allow women who have
:13:14. > :13:16.a third child as a result of rape to claim tax credits, which are
:13:17. > :13:20.otherwise limited to the first two children in most cases. If this
:13:21. > :13:24.sounds like a change in Ruth Davidson's position, I don't think
:13:25. > :13:29.it is. She still supports the two child limit the tax credits and the
:13:30. > :13:33.exception for rape survivors. Adding what she's doing is reminding us
:13:34. > :13:39.that she's not against changing the way this policy is administered, if
:13:40. > :13:44.a better way can be found. The SMP's are Pulis says there's no way of
:13:45. > :13:45.reviewing it to make it acceptable because it requires women to share
:13:46. > :13:50.details of their rape with the state because it requires women to share
:13:51. > :13:56.in order to make a tax credit claim. One other thing to manage mentioned
:13:57. > :14:01.today, nominations close tomorrow and tonight the Green Party have
:14:02. > :14:07.confirmed they will have only three candidates standing. That is down
:14:08. > :14:13.from 30 22-macro years ago. The Tories and Labour have seized on
:14:14. > :14:16.that. Labour say the Greens have capitulated to the SNP, in order to
:14:17. > :14:21.avoid splitting support for independence. The Tories say they
:14:22. > :14:24.now look forward to the Greens withdrawing from TV debates. The
:14:25. > :14:27.now look forward to the Greens Greens say they are fighting a
:14:28. > :14:30.targeted campaign, so much so that it seems even Ukip will have more
:14:31. > :14:35.candidates than the Scottish Greens. Thank you.

:21:35. > :21:38.bets on and I'm sure nothing has really changed that much.
:21:39. > :21:45.But is that the case, our players are circumventing rules and betting
:21:46. > :21:50.regularly? At our club I wouldn't say it was a big issue. Across
:21:51. > :21:56.Scottish football in general obviously it probably still is. Play

:22:08. > :22:10.at the next World Cup. The draw for the 2019
:22:11. > :22:12.tournament was made today, with Gregor Townsend's men emerging

:22:37. > :22:44.World Cup is on and it seems Scotland are quite a draw. Scotland!
:22:45. > :22:47.The reaction of the room tells you all you need to know, Scotland are
:22:48. > :22:53.into pool eight once again and will meet Japan in the pool stages.
:22:54. > :22:57.The land of the bullet train is hosting, Scotland travelled there on
:22:58. > :23:01.a successful tour last year. When they return they will face Ireland
:23:02. > :23:04.as top seeds in their group with Japan ranked third. The rest of the
:23:05. > :23:09.pool will be made up of two teams from qualifying. For a man who wore
:23:10. > :23:16.the Scotland jersey over 100 times the draw could scarcely be any
:23:17. > :23:19.better. It's a great opportunity to qualify and qualify top. What are
:23:20. > :23:23.the expectations and hopes going into the World Cup? How far can
:23:24. > :23:29.Scotland go? After the last one we should be looking for at least the
:23:30. > :23:32.semis, against Australia. That is the standard we need to start aiming
:23:33. > :23:36.for, especially the way we have played recently, there is no reason
:23:37. > :23:40.why we can't aim for the semis and onwards. The reasons to be cheerful
:23:41. > :23:45.are clear. Scotland beat Ireland in the first game of this year's Six
:23:46. > :23:48.Nations and will be pleased to have avoided the likes of New Zealand,
:23:49. > :23:51.Australia and England. Even though Japan will have the support of a
:23:52. > :23:58.nation behind them Scotland beat them twice in their own backyard in
:23:59. > :24:01.last summer's tests. The hosts can play, though, they famously beat
:24:02. > :24:05.South Africa in the last World Cup and scored a terrific try against
:24:06. > :24:09.Scotland last year. New national head coach Gregor Townsend says he
:24:10. > :24:11.is excited by the draw. Winning the group could be the key to
:24:12. > :24:15.progressing further because that could mean Scotland avoiding the

:25:31. > :25:33.the eastern borders which will clear by the afternoon, so sunny
:25:34. > :25:46.across-the-board. A little more cloud the further north you are
:25:47. > :25:50.for Orkney and Shetland but drier than today without the drizzly rain
:25:51. > :25:53.we have had. By mid-afternoon in the sunshine it is really quite warm, 20
:25:54. > :25:55.Celsius in the south-west, Dumfries and Galloway coming towards

:26:06. > :26:09.For the rest of the afternoon into the evening, evening sunshine to end
:26:10. > :26:13.the day. And then the change, on the Solway you will see showers edging
