:00:00. > :00:22.Good evening. There will be further talks tomorrow over the wearing of

:00:23. > :00:27.poppies at Fifa on Armistice Day. A request has been turned down to

:00:28. > :00:38.allow players to wear armbands featuring poppies during the match,

:00:39. > :00:42.on the 11th of November. A simple ceremony, a reminder of sacrifice.

:00:43. > :00:47.People come to remember conflicts in the distant past and recent painful

:00:48. > :00:52.events as well. The young man who gave their lives in battles like the

:00:53. > :00:58.Somme 100 years ago were just like these young men, pals who banded

:00:59. > :01:02.together. On the 11th of November, Armistice Day, Scotland will play

:01:03. > :01:09.England and the teams want to wear a poppy. We have had a president in

:01:10. > :01:13.2011 and I think it is clear and the point we are making is this that is

:01:14. > :01:16.not a political statement, this is a personal choice. This is a mark of

:01:17. > :01:22.respect for those who have lost their lives in the war. It is

:01:23. > :01:26.thought Fifa come under a new regime, is more likely to be

:01:27. > :01:29.sensitive to this issue. Involving the oldest international match in

:01:30. > :01:34.the world. There is certainly political will for a change of

:01:35. > :01:37.heart. I think it's important to commemorate and remember the people

:01:38. > :01:42.who gave the ultimate sacrifice during the world wars, and there's

:01:43. > :01:45.no better time to do that on Armistice Day, on the 11th of

:01:46. > :01:52.November, when I hope Fifa will allow both teams to wear poppies on

:01:53. > :01:58.the strips. I think Fifa have badly misjudged this. The fact the game

:01:59. > :02:02.takes place on the 11th of the 11th, this is the year to commemorate the

:02:03. > :02:07.Great War of the First World War, shows how badly they have misjudged

:02:08. > :02:12.it. The poppy is not a political symbol. This year's Poppy Appeal was

:02:13. > :02:16.launched by the gold-medal winning Olympic cyclist Callum Skinner.

:02:17. > :02:20.People of all ages in Scotland will give this year to help veterans and

:02:21. > :02:23.many will wear a poppy with pride. There is certainly a great deal of

:02:24. > :02:25.support to allow the descendants of those who fought an opportunity to

:02:26. > :02:33.remember as they meet in a different those who fought an opportunity to

:02:34. > :02:37.field of conflict. Police Scotland say they're dealing with Scotland at

:02:38. > :02:42.the Ore of tape bombing range in the Highlands. Officers were called out

:02:43. > :02:45.to the theme 30 miles north of Inverness before 6pm and are still

:02:46. > :02:49.there. It's understood the area has been sealed off. It is used by the

:02:50. > :02:56.RAF on the Army. An Army spokesman said they are aware of an incident

:02:57. > :02:59.but comment further at this stage. The controversial law aimed at

:03:00. > :03:03.tackling sectarianism in football will be debated at Holyrood

:03:04. > :03:06.tomorrow. It's four years since a majority SNP administration pushed

:03:07. > :03:13.through the offensive behaviour at football act. Opposition MSPs want

:03:14. > :03:17.it revealed. -- repeals. Celtic Park in

:03:18. > :03:23.September. As the old firm teams took to the pitch, in the home

:03:24. > :03:29.stands, this. Effigies draped in an orange sash and Rangers scarf.

:03:30. > :03:33.Police have made arrests over that incident and the trashing of toilets

:03:34. > :03:37.by some Rangers fans. Four years ago the government's solution was the

:03:38. > :03:40.offensive behaviour at football act but opposition parties say it was a

:03:41. > :03:46.blunt instrument which damaged free speech. On Wednesday they'll debate

:03:47. > :03:49.whether it should be repealed. This Labour MSP says his recent

:03:50. > :03:54.consultation shows large support for that. My view is that football fans

:03:55. > :03:58.going to the matches should be singing football songs, but one of

:03:59. > :04:04.the issues we have seen with this legislation is the police have

:04:05. > :04:07.confused about what songs are illegal and potentially cause public

:04:08. > :04:14.disorder, the judges are confused, and the whole thing has ended up a

:04:15. > :04:18.real mess. One possible way forward is to make clubs legally responsible

:04:19. > :04:23.for fans' behaviour, strict liability. The ultimate --

:04:24. > :04:29.ultimately it's the clubs who attracts people in by dint of being

:04:30. > :04:32.entertainment if you like, but the fans have a loyalty to the clubs and

:04:33. > :04:36.if they realise the clubs will be punished severely, could be punished

:04:37. > :04:40.severely, it might well be that would be the thing that would

:04:41. > :04:44.trigger to change their behaviour is. The legislation has aroused

:04:45. > :04:51.strong feelings amongst fans. One blogger says it's about free speech.

:04:52. > :04:54.It do I have the right to be offended? If you take it to its

:04:55. > :04:58.logical conclusion, I might be offended by your tie, it doesn't

:04:59. > :05:01.mean I have the right to get you arrested because I find your choice

:05:02. > :05:07.of Kolarov tight clashes with your suit offensive. It's a nonsense when

:05:08. > :05:12.you take it to this degree. Many fans agree there's a problem with

:05:13. > :05:14.sectarianism in some parts of football, but they're also concerned

:05:15. > :05:18.about limits on the free speech, something they say this legislation

:05:19. > :05:22.has made worse. That is something that opposition politicians will be

:05:23. > :05:30.talking about tomorrow, in the Holyrood debate.

:05:31. > :05:33.Former Scottish miners say the UK Government's decision to rule out a

:05:34. > :05:37.public enquiry into what became known as the Battle of Orgreave in

:05:38. > :05:42.Yorkshire during the miners' strike in 1984 makes them more determined.

:05:43. > :05:45.Campaigners here want an investigation into confrontations

:05:46. > :05:51.between striking miners and police north of the border.

:05:52. > :05:57.In Newtongrange the old colliery was declared the National mining Museum

:05:58. > :06:03.in 1984. The same year as the most bitter of industrial disputes was

:06:04. > :06:06.unravelling. About 150 people were faced by police as the lorries left

:06:07. > :06:12.the mind. Striking miners classed with the police, one of the worst

:06:13. > :06:17.instances was at Bilston Glen just outside Edinburgh. One of those

:06:18. > :06:25.arrested was Alex Bennett. I appeared in court and was fined

:06:26. > :06:31.?100, on the 20th of December 19 84. I got my P 45 in January and I never

:06:32. > :06:38.worked for three years after the strike. In Westminster today, a

:06:39. > :06:43.junior minister faced an urgent question in the Commons, 24 hours

:06:44. > :06:47.after his boss Amber Rudd ruled out an enquiry into the clashes at

:06:48. > :06:52.Orgreave. Isn't it simply staggering that the Home Secretary has brushed

:06:53. > :06:57.away an enquiry as not necessary? And isn't it even more revealing

:06:58. > :07:01.that she wasn't prepared to come to this house today to justify her

:07:02. > :07:04.that she wasn't prepared to come to decision? Some believe there is

:07:05. > :07:07.evidence that the Tory government instructed police to take a harsh

:07:08. > :07:11.approach in Scotland in the aftermath of the violence in

:07:12. > :07:16.Yorkshire. Is a lot of questions about Civil Liberties and about the

:07:17. > :07:22.politics of the policing of the strike. It goes far beyond

:07:23. > :07:27.individual cases of injustice and requires a collective response.

:07:28. > :07:32.Hundreds of miners remain convicted of offences during the strike, more

:07:33. > :07:36.here in Scotland than any other part of the UK. That's why campaigners

:07:37. > :07:42.say it's imperative that there is an investigation here into the conduct

:07:43. > :07:46.of police. I don't know, I can understand the Tories taking a

:07:47. > :07:49.decision they did, not to investigate the Tory government of

:07:50. > :07:54.the Thatcher government, but for the Scottish Parliament to take the same

:07:55. > :07:59.view as the Tories, I find that strange and I don't know what the

:08:00. > :08:05.reason is. The Scottish Government says it has no plans to conduct an

:08:06. > :08:07.enquiry into the police here. They say the Scottish criminal cases of

:08:08. > :08:14.the board can look into cases of those who fear they were wrongly

:08:15. > :08:18.convicted. A group of tenant farmers is taking

:08:19. > :08:21.the Scottish Government to court to try to win compensation for having

:08:22. > :08:24.to leave the farms they have been renting. They say they are the

:08:25. > :08:31.victims of flawed legislation. These 5000 acres have been farmed

:08:32. > :08:34.by the Patterson family since 1996 after they signed a limited

:08:35. > :08:36.partnership lease with the local should have given them security

:08:37. > :08:46.for decades, but once that law was ruled to be incompetent,

:08:47. > :08:48.their hope of staying beyond their initial

:08:49. > :08:52.lease was not shared, They've now been given notice

:08:53. > :08:59.to leave at the end of the month. I hope that those with power over

:09:00. > :09:10.this wrong legislation, the flaw in the law

:09:11. > :09:12.before this week's over. I hope they do provide

:09:13. > :09:15.a means for the farmers who are losing their farms to be

:09:16. > :09:18.able to continue to farm. It's not so much the landlord

:09:19. > :09:21.but the Scottish Government Arriving at court in Edinburgh today

:09:22. > :09:32.Ian and John Paterson argue they are the victims of clumsy

:09:33. > :09:34.legislation and they must be compensated for the money they've

:09:35. > :09:40.invested in the farm over the years. The Patersons are one of seven

:09:41. > :09:43.tenant farmers from around Scotland taking the government to court,

:09:44. > :09:45.and they are supported We simply ask government now,

:09:46. > :09:52.don't drag this through the courts, step in, pay the compensation

:09:53. > :09:55.where it's due and allow the parties The Paterson family have accepted

:09:56. > :09:59.they will have to leave this farm that they've built up over the years

:10:00. > :10:02.at the end of the month, but they're hoping that

:10:03. > :10:05.by highlighting the plight other tenant farmers will be spared

:10:06. > :10:09.the same heartbreak. The Scottish Government

:10:10. > :10:12.won't comment on the court action for compensation,

:10:13. > :10:15.but say new legislation was brought in two years ago to replace

:10:16. > :10:20.the earlier flawed law. Years of uncertainty here have

:10:21. > :10:26.taken their toll, though. Jim has coped with it,

:10:27. > :10:35.being the head of the family, most of the worry has been an Jim's

:10:36. > :10:39.shoulders, that yes, it has had a terrible

:10:40. > :11:00.and detrimental affect my husband's Celtic kept the Champions League

:11:01. > :11:03.hopes alive by battling back to draw 1-1 with Borussia Monchengladbach.

:11:04. > :11:14.Celtic hit the post. The Germans went ahead in the 33rd minute.

:11:15. > :11:17.Dembele converted a penalty. After another beautiful day for most of

:11:18. > :11:22.is, it's the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow.

:11:23. > :11:27.A fantastic start to November for many but clear skies minute will be

:11:28. > :11:31.quite chilly tonight. Current temperatures there, expected to fall

:11:32. > :11:35.further and in the countryside down to zero or below zero. Not clear

:11:36. > :11:39.skies for everyone. Across the North and north-east a number of showers,

:11:40. > :11:42.the cloud and breeze, that's how we start things tomorrow morning but

:11:43. > :11:46.elsewhere it is a dry, fine start to the day. The fog patch here and

:11:47. > :11:59.there and they will be pockets of frost around as well. Once the sun

:12:00. > :12:01.comes up it quickly gets to work. However, it's going to be chilly.

:12:02. > :12:04.Temperatures at 8am, 4-5dC. Further north, perhaps mild around the coast

:12:05. > :12:06.and a bit of cloud to start the day around Marie and Caithness and the

:12:07. > :12:10.Northern Isles, where the winds remain fresh through the Northwest

:12:11. > :12:13.and the showers tend to ease away. Elsewhere very similar conditions to

:12:14. > :12:17.what many will have seen today. 20 of Chris Porter null sunshine. A

:12:18. > :12:26.better day across the Highlands and Islands, fewer showers -- there will

:12:27. > :12:31.be crisp sunshine. Temperatures 9-11 Celsius. The risk of showers down

:12:32. > :12:34.the North Sea coast and quite a breeze a raw feel at times but for

:12:35. > :12:38.many, plenty of sunshine and a pleasant day. The cloud increasing

:12:39. > :12:42.in the north-west turning the sunshine hazy and Reina Riley as we

:12:43. > :12:48.had overnight and its withers as we head towards the state -- rain

:12:49. > :12:51.arriving as we had overnight. There will be cloud and rain across

:12:52. > :12:57.Scotland. South of the border, try and find but a different day for us.

:12:58. > :13:01.On Thursday, temperatures similar but a cool feel with the cloud and

:13:02. > :13:06.rain. Low pressure in charge on Friday, a number of showers, one or

:13:07. > :13:10.be heavy across the far north of Scotland. Temperatures similar, some

:13:11. > :13:13.sunshine further south. Into the weekend the low pressure system

:13:14. > :13:17.pulls away and opened the floodgates to really chilly air from the north.

:13:18. > :13:22.With it, a few showers, some of the wintry. That's the forecast for now.

:13:23. > :13:28.That's all from Reporting Scotland for now. Regular updates during

:13:29. > :13:30.breakfast from 6:25am. From all of us in Glasgow and around the

:13:31. > :13:32.country, good night.
