An MoD firing range in the Highlands is under lockdown tonight | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
after a soldier was killed during a live firing exercise. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
There is still a big police presence and there are few details, | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
although police say there is no risk to the local community. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Although primarily a bombing range for the RAF, | :00:21. | :00:34. | |
practice here the Tain range has increasingly been used by the army. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Yesterday troops were taking part in a training exercise | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
It is thought more than 20 members of the Black Watch | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
based at Fort George near Inverness were involved. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
The death of their colleague has sparked an intensive investigation. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
We've got 30 detectives that we've allocated to the inquiry, | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
we have initially resourced from Tain and we are taking more | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
officers from across Scotland to support the inquiry, | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
we also have more officers on the scene of controlling entry | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
and monitoring the scene to support the investigation. | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
Since 2000 135 UK Armed Forces personnel have died on exercises | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
or training, 11 of them in live firing operations. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Two months ago Black Watch Private Conor McPherson from Paisley | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
was shot dead in a live firing exercise in Northumberland. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
I have a daughter serving in the Royal Air Force | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
I know the training needs to be of the highest possible standard | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
and this must include live firing but we had | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
So I am saying this is to be an exhaustive inquiry. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Whatever it takes to find out what happened. | :01:50. | :01:50. | |
The local MP has called for a full inquiry to put community | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
Meanwhile both the Prime Minister and First Minister have | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
offered their condolences to the family of the victim. | :01:58. | :02:13. | |
MSPs have voted to urge the Scottish government | :02:14. | :02:14. | |
to repeal its Offensive Behaviour at Football Act. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
Opposition parties united behind a motion condemning the legislation, | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
which was designed to tackle Sectarianism, as badly | :02:20. | :02:20. | |
Our Political Correspondent, Andrew Kerr, watched the debate. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Keeping an eye out for offensive behaviour at the football, but for | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
how much longer will the police operate under the current laws? | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
The opposition rounded on the government | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
at Holyrood calling for legislation to be appealed in the appropriate | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
their subs but would rather leave an injured player on the pitch | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
rather than removing him for a benefit for their team. | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
There are moments when a change in criminal law is | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
appropriate and in this case the view of legal practitioners | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
is that they were already adequate laws in | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
place and those should be used to prosecute | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
this behaviour rather than | :03:01. | :03:01. | |
verifying football and its thousands of fans. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Defending the government line, the minister said the powers | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
I would point out that the statistics | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
clearly demonstrate that the prosecution rate for the act is | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
comparable to other prosecution rates. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
The latest information covers 2014-15 and shows that proceedings | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
have been carried out so far in 19 places, | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
76 people convicted, a conviction rate of 84%. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Backed up from the backbenches, today's events | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
have been described as an opposition ploy. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
That has nothing to do with trying to improve the legislation and | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
everything to do with trying to defeat the government. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
But the opposition, still smarting, claimed the | :03:48. | :04:03. | |
legislation was pushed through without regard women when the SNP | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
It was introduced and believed by the Justice | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Secretary and by government showing scant regard | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
for this parliament for | :04:12. | :04:12. | |
civil liberties over the complexities of the problem they | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Time for an early bath for this legislation, he said, the | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Yes, 64, no, 63, the motion is therefore agreed. | :04:20. | :04:29. | |
Labour now say the act is dead in the water and want action. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
The government must therefore bring forward | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
immediate plans on how they | :04:35. | :04:35. | |
will repeal this act as a matter of urgency. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
The presiding officer said Parliament had made its view clear, | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
it was up to the Scottish Government to reflect on how to respond. | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
England and Scotland could face a points deduction if they defy | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
a Fifa ban on players wearing poppies when the teams | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
English Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn said both | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
FAs will defy the ban and accept any punishment. | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
Fifa general secretary Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
told the BBC any kind of sanction could follow. | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
World football's governing body prohibits political, | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
religious or commercial messages on shirts. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
Aberdeen City Council has become the first local authority | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
The stock market bonds, worth ?360 million, will go | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
towards the council's capital plan, which includes redeveloping the city | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
centre, building schools and houses, and road construction. | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
A Labour MP has been cleared of attacking a Yes campaigner | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
in Glasgow on the day of the independence referendum. | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
Marie Rimmer, who's the MP for St Helens South and Whiston, | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
faced two charges following an incident outside | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
Shettleston Community Centre on 18th September, 2014. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
Yesterday, the 69-year-old was cleared of a charge of abusive | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
Today Ms Rimmer was acquitted of assaulting 52-year-old | :05:51. | :06:00. | |
Patricia McLeish by kicking her, after a sheriff found the case | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
I am absolutely delighted and very, very grateful and thankful | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
for and support that everybody has put in with me. | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
I want to really get back now to go on and do the job | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
I was elected to do, representing my constituents | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
A memorial service has been held to remember those who died | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
when Aberdeen University's Zoology building collapsed 50 years ago. | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
It was under construction on November 1st, 1966, | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
when the steel and concrete frame failed, with tragic consequences. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Our reporter Steven Duff has been speaking to two men | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
When I arrived there, I was absolutely appalled | :06:39. | :06:49. | |
and could not understand how we could deal with the situation. | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
It was one pile of steel girders, steel pipes, concrete, | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
I had seen the building standing, it was eight stories high, | :07:02. | :07:13. | |
and suddenly there were eight stories, fallen on a house of cards, | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
I felt that if you had stood on tiptoe you could have touched | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Five people lost their lives that day in 1966, the zooology building | :07:26. | :07:36. | |
at Aberdeen University which was under | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
92-year-old John Burgess was senior fire officer in charge that today. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
He helped to rescue one of three workers who survived | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
after being buried in the rubble. | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
We made a chain of human firemen to the entrance of it. | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
I said, when I give the word Paul, you are coming out. | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
I yelled at the top of my voice, pull, and I could shout | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
And we all came out and the only injury he got was the abrasions | :07:56. | :08:14. | |
we caused pulling him out of this little part with he was. | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
Gordon had been a news reporter for only eight | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
days when he was sent to the scene of the collapse. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
He remembers the final survivor emerging. | :08:30. | :08:30. | |
I don't remember any emotion, none of the cheering or applauding | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
somebody shook his hands, we were awfully glad | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
After the tragedy, the construction was completed and the | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
This evening 50 years on a service of remembrance at Aberdeen | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
University for the five men who lost their lives. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
The Scotland manager, Gordon Strachan, says he didn't | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
consider quitting his post following a disappointing | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
start to the World Cup qualifying campaign. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
He's just named his squad for next week's World qualifier | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
As expected, his former captain Scott Brown has been | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
picked after coming out of international retirement. | :09:11. | :09:11. | |
Back in Scotland and back in the national squad. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
Celtic's in form captain, returning home with his club at the | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
Soon, he will be reunited with the Scotland manager, | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
following a short lived international retirement. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
The backroom staff have done a final build-up conversation that went on. | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
He was thinking about trying to get back in the squad and making | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
From then, we checked it out and that is the case. | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
We spoke on the phone and we are back together again. | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
Is the reunion a long-term thing or a one night stand, | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
beginning and ending with the game against England at Wembley. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
Hopefully it is a decision we are all happy with. | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Then after that we will decide what the future is for everybody. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
What about the manager's commitments? | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
His resolve to stay in position is as strong, | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
Here he is reacting to suggestions he considered stepping aside | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
If you honestly think that from that moment, | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
maybe 24 hours after the defeat, I was thinking about myself, | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
I think at that point, how do I get this group of people, | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
the fans, the players, the backroom staff into a major tournament? | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
I am 59 years old, do you think I was thinking about myself | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
The Scots are fourth in their qualifying group, | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Defeat at Wembley wouldn't kill Scotland's prospects of qualifying, | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
but it would render them are pretty slim, with or without | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Well, now the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow. | :11:13. | :11:24. | |
Thank you. Good evening. This is a lovely picture from earlier, | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
beautiful autumnal colours, but all change tonight with the rain moving | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
in. In the bigger picture you can see the weather system moving in | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
from the Atlantic, bringing outbreaks of rain overnight and | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
thickening cloud. A different day the store tomorrow. It is chilly at | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
the moment but with cloud building overnight temperatures will recover | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
by dawn. These are the likely temperatures at 8am. Cloudy and | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
damp. In the West the rain is heavy and persistent east you are, lighter | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
and more patchy in nature but still fairly damp. Winds, from the South | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
West. Shetland is not faring too bad. A few showers but the bulk of | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
the wet weather is in the south. Through the course of Thursday it | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
will be fairly wet in the West but further east the brain is often on | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
through the course of the day but pretty cloudy. You can see the wet | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
weather stretches through Northern Ireland and the north-west of | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
England and North West Wales and towards Devon and Cornwall. South | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
and east are fairly dry with some brightness. They could be for girlie | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
on. Temperatures are feeling fairly chilly. The winner will be | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
north-westerly by the end of the afternoon and it will drive in | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
showers for a showery night overnight Thursday to Friday. On | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
Friday low pressure is in charge with areas of rain in the south and | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
the North. In the central lowlands dry and fine weather but quite | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
chilly. Cold air moves in as the locals away. On Friday rain clears | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
and a lot of sunshine in central Scotland. In the north another band | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
of rain edges south through the day with snow on the hills. Saturday and | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
Sunday, the cold plunge of their moves down and it is quite frosty | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
overnight. Sunshine during the day in showers around the coast. | :13:26. | :13:26. | |
Our next update is during Breakfast at 6.25am tomorrow morning. | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
But, from everyone on the late team here in Glasgow and around | :13:30. | :13:32. |
