:00:09. > :00:11.of Lanarkshire waiter Surjit Singh Chhokar has been jailed
:00:12. > :00:15.for almost 20 years. Ronnie Coulter's conviction is only
:00:16. > :00:18.the second time in Scottish legal history that an accused has been
:00:19. > :00:22.tried twice for the same crime. This is a day the Chhokar family
:00:23. > :00:29.thought they might never see. Finally, 18 years after
:00:30. > :00:33.Surjit Singh Chhokar's murder, He inflicted three stab wounds
:00:34. > :00:41.on his body in a despicable fashion. Thereafter he tried to cover his
:00:42. > :00:46.tracks, and in large measure, Many years later, he is here
:00:47. > :00:52.to answer for his crime. In November 1998, in Overton,
:00:53. > :00:56.North Lanarkshire, Ronnie and two others went to see
:00:57. > :01:02.Surjit Singh Chhokar at his house. A fight broke out over a stolen

:01:20. > :01:22.the Chhokkar family had been failed by the police and
:01:23. > :01:23.prosecution services. Outside court today,
:01:24. > :01:28.there was relief. In the 18 years it has taken
:01:29. > :01:31.to prove Ronnie Coulter's guilt, His family had their
:01:32. > :01:48.lives devastated, too. Surjit Singh Chhokar was not the
:01:49. > :01:52.only victim. Today, justice has finally
:01:53. > :01:53.given our family peace. This is the second time someone
:01:54. > :01:56.in Scotland has been tried Ronnie Coulter was found not
:01:57. > :02:00.guilty at a trial in 1999, but since then the law of double
:02:01. > :02:02.jeopardy has been scrapped, That law meant Coulter could not be
:02:03. > :02:07.tried again on the same or similar Today, the family spoke
:02:08. > :02:13.of their grief. There is no celebration for us,

:03:50. > :03:53.Judging by the amount of drugs paraphernalia here,
:03:54. > :03:57.it is happening regularly, with a large number of people.
:03:58. > :04:01.The idea of this proposal is for injecting still to continue,

:06:21. > :06:22.of remembrance in the lead-up Poppies bring bright colour
:06:23. > :06:31.into desolate places. The wreaths in memory
:06:32. > :06:34.of those who had fallen, but for those who have

:07:12. > :07:24.of the gun, the turret, ah well. If your tank is in flames, you are
:07:25. > :07:27.praying that the people on the other side of the gun, get out as well.
:07:28. > :07:32.When you start, you think you are going to change everything.
:07:33. > :07:43.And then you forget what you are doing, and instead
:07:44. > :07:50.And it wasn't until we arrived at the gates of Belsen concentration
:07:51. > :07:56.camp that we understood why we actually were there.
:07:57. > :08:08.But that was too much for some of them.
:08:09. > :08:14.Which was the wrong thing to do, because the folk at the back
:08:15. > :08:37.Ian has volunteered for Poppy Scotland for more
:08:38. > :08:43.He says it helps to talk about his experiences.
:08:44. > :08:46.It is the time for generations to reflect, to remember those

:09:43. > :09:51.The workers on site are making good progress.
:09:52. > :09:56.The walls are at full height, and over the winter
:09:57. > :10:00.and in the New Year we will look forward to the steel beams
:10:01. > :10:03.going on at roof level, and then the fitting out
:10:04. > :10:08.of the museum on the inside can begin.
:10:09. > :10:11.I'm looking at things from the outside now.
:10:12. > :10:14.This is a complicated piece of construction,
:10:15. > :10:20.The building is swathed in scaffolding and supports
