28/09/2016 Reporting Scotland

Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

Scotland's last major steelworks, the Dalzell Mill in Motherwell,

has been officially re-opened by the First Minister.

It closed down last year but - under new ownership -

there are renewed hopes for its future.

Our Business and Economy Editor, Douglas Fraser, reports.

Scotland's steel town where the rolling slab again.

A warm welcome today for the return of Dalzell's thunder.

The deal was brokered by the Scottish Government.

The significance of this for Scottish manufacturing industry,

is really important and can't be overestimated.

There are already 100 people back working here,

and plans that Liberty have for the future will hopefully

see that workforce doubled over the next 18 months,

so this is not just hanging on to an old industry,

this is about reimagining the steel industry for the future and giving

These slabs have been made in England and Russia.

They are destined for construction and offshore energy,

but they could be used for much more.

symbolic of the Lanarkshire steel-making past.

The partner plant of Clydebridge has yet to be reopened.

It depends on finding customers and at the right price.

There is no light at the end of the tunnel for the steel industry.

In the UK industry there is an opportunity to serve the needs

Speaking of opportunity, that return of jobs to Dalzell

was not expected by those recently laid off.

You don't know if you're going to be kept on, and that's it.

Luckily, I was one of the ones to be kept on.

Just get on with it, see where it takes us.

The nearby Ravenscraig site has little on it apart

Where the next generation still looks to a future built on steel.

I left Motherwell because there were no opportunities.

Now they are bringing more back to this sort of area.

The people in our generation, I think it would build up a lot more

opportunity for new jobs and stuff and giving people more experience

and stuff to get into different traits like the steelworks.

Battered and hard-pressed, Lanarkshire itself has been

For now, at least, a brighter future.

The Scottish Government has been defeated at Holyrood in a row

A Labour motion noting widespread concern about proposals to downgrade

Earlier, I spoke to our Political Editor Brian Taylor.

Nothing riles local communities more than the faintest hint to their

hospital services. When communities get riled, politicians get worried.

This is Labour gathering folk from various health services across

Scotland concerned about the provision of those services.

Gathering outside Parliament before taking it to a vote in the chamber

this afternoon. Labour's 's strategy was to pull together a whole series

of issues where services are being questioned and reviewed about

possible revision and demanded that ministers called in all these

decisions from the various health boards and demanded that they take

them themselves. In fact, they said ministers should reject the changes

outright. And the ministers have been defeated? The amendment

defending the record has been defeated and the Labour motion went

through. You could see the exasperation on the face of the

Health Secretary. She accused Labour of trying to get around the due

process whereby the county council is involved in these decisions. She

will report back to Parliament on each of these. Will she speed them

up? I don't think so. She will say that accelerating decisions on these

would cut out people from the consultation. She will look at these

proposals in detail and report back to Parliament. This is a reminder to

the SNP that they are a minority here at Holyrood.

Scotland's Chief Constable has revealed that new allegations have

been raised about members of the controversial police

The allegations, made in the past three months,

are of attempting to pervert the course of justice

Phil Gormley has told Holyrood's Justice Committee the allegations

They arise from the investigation into the murder in 2005

A container ship with four cadets

from a Scottish college on board has finally docked in Singapore

after being stranded at sea for a month.

The trainees had been stuck on the vessel

in the South China Sea since its owners

The ship finally docked at eight club this morning and its cargo

quickly off-loaded followed closely behind by the young cadets from

Scotland who flew home after being caught up in this saga at sea. The

day we heard this was all going on, it was very worrying. Especially for

our families who didn't know anything even. The trainee officers

had been studying at the city of Glasgow College and became stranded

when ports around the world refused entry to any ships owned by the

parent company which had collapsed. They faced sending the ship to

Singapore and running out of food. We had nine days of food left and it

is a six-day voyage from Sri Lankan to Singapore. A potential three day

leeway that could have ended worse. We ran out of fresh fruit,

vegetables, eggs, flour. We were already well into running out of

things. The ordeal ended when the Singapore High Court granted the

things. The ordeal ended when the South Korean shipping giant a

temporary reprieve. Much to the relief of their families. Being

their mother, you want to be able to protect and help them and being so

far away you felt so useless. I waiting until I see him, but getting

far away you felt so useless. I excited. After flying home to the

Highlands, one of his priorities is getting a haircut.

The UK Labour leader - Jeremy Corbyn -

That is how I see football, and that is how I see life.

Football now and Celtic and Manchester City

played out a six goal thriller at Parkhead tonight

Celtic were keen make amends following their heavy defeat

by Barcelona and set the tempo for the game.

Our senior football reporter Chris McLaughlin has the details.

A quite incredible night of Champions League football here at

Celtic Park. A roller-coaster match in the rain and what a start for

Celtic. Mousa Dembele with the opening after just three minutes. A

touch of offside. Celtic Park erupted. The visitors levelled after

ten minutes, Fernandinho with the finish. Celtic took the lead again.

This time Tierney taking a big deflection. Again, Pep Guardiola's

side fought back through Raheem Sterling. The start of the second

half, Dembele made it 3-2. But like a true heavyweight match, city came

slugging back and Nolito level. Celtic made amends for their 7-0

defeat to Barcelona. Well, It's over to Christopher

Blanchett now with the weather A stormy night and tomorrow morning.

A yellow warning in force. This area of low pressure trundling around the

north of the country bringing high winds and squally showers. The cold

front slipping south of the border and moving through England

overnight. For others, the wind is the story. By eight o'clock tomorrow

morning, perhaps trying to ease back but still we can see we are likely

to have some disruption, not only on the ferries but on the bridges as

well. Potential for brunch is being brought down, debris on the road.

Some big waves around the coasts. Potential over topping on the

causeways. Blustery conditions. But come lunchtime that brief spell of

stormy weather should be easing off. The weather warning disappearing

around one o'clock in the afternoon. The weather front pulling away from

the Kent coastline by afternoon. We will have showers by afternoon and

the Kent coastline by afternoon. We into the evening. Some really potent

ones in central areas. Friday, a little bit calmer. A few showers

becoming increasingly confined to the west. Like tomorrow, a cooler,

fresher feel. The weekend, Saturday brings showery outbreaks of rain.

Further north, generally drier and brighter but Sunday is the pick of

the two days. Decent spells of sunshine. To night and tomorrow,

it's going to be windy. Our next update is during Breakfast

at 6.25 tomorrow morning. here in Glasgow

and around the country - goodnight.
