:00:20. > :00:22.tests are carried out during the rest of this season -
:00:23. > :00:24.but tonight the President of the World anti-doping agency
:00:25. > :00:30.criticised the lack of testing. Alasdair Lamont has more details.
:00:31. > :00:38.The fight to keep trucks out of sport has never been more intense or
:00:39. > :00:41.so high profile. From state-sponsored doping in Russia,
:00:42. > :00:47.investigations into wrongdoing in cycling to a lengthy ban for Maria
:00:48. > :00:51.Sharapova, one of tennis's biggest stars. A year ago BBC Scotland
:00:52. > :00:56.published figures that show that only eight trucks tests done in
:00:57. > :00:59.Scottish football between April and December of 2015. Now it has emerged
:01:00. > :01:03.that in the same period last year not a single test was carried out.
:01:04. > :01:30.It is, in my view... The Scottish FA lost its funding
:01:31. > :01:37.from the UK anti-doping agency last April. And finally agreed on funding
:01:38. > :01:40.package in November. There was disappointment within the SFA at the
:01:41. > :01:47.decision to stop funding testing here, that was apparently down to
:01:48. > :01:52.prioritising the ?7 million budget, particularly in what was an Olympic
:01:53. > :01:54.year. Regardless, the SFA now expect some funding to kick in to allow
:01:55. > :02:03.testing to resume in Scottish some funding to kick in to allow
:02:04. > :02:07.football. The former chairman of Ukip in Scotland has afforded jail.

:02:18. > :02:28.of unpaid work as part of a community payback order.
:02:29. > :02:36.Father Denis Alexander has always denied the allegations. Denis
:02:37. > :02:41.Alexander appeared via a video link from a remand centre at Silver water
:02:42. > :02:45.prison here in Sydney, he was in a wheelchair. He did at times appear
:02:46. > :02:49.to be quite fragile but fully aware of the legal proceedings. His
:02:50. > :02:56.barrister told the magistrate that given his age and various medical
:02:57. > :02:59.conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, his client should be
:03:00. > :03:06.released from custody pending what could well be a lengthy extradition
:03:07. > :03:12.process. A lawyer for the UK Government argued against the bail
:03:13. > :03:16.application, saying that father Alexander presented a flight risk.
:03:17. > :03:19.He suggested that the former monk may even be spirited away to a
:03:20. > :03:25.Benedictine monastery somewhere in Australia. The lawyer also argued
:03:26. > :03:30.that the priest first-macro medical conditions would not be made worse
:03:31. > :03:34.in custody. The magistrates as it was a difficult application to
:03:35. > :03:38.consider stop he did reject the bail application, what this means is that
:03:39. > :03:43.Denis Alexander will remain in custody pending that full
:03:44. > :03:48.extradition hearing in Sydney in three months' time.
:03:49. > :03:50.The Scotland rugby captain Greig Laidlaw's availability
:03:51. > :03:53.for the rest of the Six Nations is in doubt tonight.
:03:54. > :03:55.Laidlaw has left the national squad to have his injured ankle assessed
:03:56. > :04:07.The return of the walking wounded from France. Scotland rugby squad
:04:08. > :04:12.arrived back in Edinburgh mentally and physically battered bruised. It
:04:13. > :04:15.was a catalogue of injuries and started with the site no Scots
:04:16. > :04:22.friend wanted to see. Their number nine buckling in pain. The captain,
:04:23. > :04:26.the highest points scorer, playmaker and inspiring team member, rolling
:04:27. > :04:31.to the ground and then taken off. His future in the championship they
:04:32. > :04:37.are requiring further assessment. Calling the shots from the sidelines
:04:38. > :04:40.was never in the game plan. To recover now, sometimes when they get
:04:41. > :04:44.sent back, it means they are going to be out for a number of weeks they
:04:45. > :04:49.like to get them back to the club physio is, a massive loss because he
:04:50. > :04:52.has proved himself over the last couple of seasons as a leader who
:04:53. > :05:01.manages the game exceptionally well he is a fantastic player. There were
:05:02. > :05:05.positive moments for Scotland. But a whole lot of negative, too. After
:05:06. > :05:11.Laidlaw went off, his replacement as captain John Barclay went off. After
:05:12. > :05:16.Barclay was sidelined from his positional replacement John Hardy
:05:17. > :05:18.also succumbed to a head injury and finally the hooker Fraser Brown,
:05:19. > :05:25.another head knock and another player taken off not to return to
:05:26. > :05:30.action. They are all subject to continued hit injury assessment. The
:05:31. > :05:36.game was so brutal, you could understand you get some head knocks
:05:37. > :05:40.but to get four in a game, for them to be crucial plays for Scotland, it
:05:41. > :05:44.shows you how brutal and rough and physical the game is becoming.
:05:45. > :05:50.Questions will be asked about the bungled conversion attempt. With the
:05:51. > :05:55.calm head of Laidlaw have fared better under the pressure of being
:05:56. > :05:59.told to rush and take it? The squad have until a week on Saturday to
:06:00. > :06:04.recover when the next wave of attack will come, this time from Wales.
:06:05. > :06:06.Aberdeenshire Council has apologised for planting dozens of trees
:06:07. > :06:12.The trees appeared on the playing field at Logie Durno over
:06:13. > :06:13.the weekend, sparking confusion among residents.
:06:14. > :06:25.We sent our reporter Rebecca Curran to investigate.
:06:26. > :06:33.Tree up front, Ireland usual formation in Scott didn't do across
:06:34. > :06:37.Scottish football. Dozens of trees up and planted here and residents
:06:38. > :06:43.aren't happy. There is not really much to do in this area, get your
:06:44. > :06:45.kids out, do something active, the goals are in place, all of a sudden
:06:46. > :06:49.kids out, do something active, the we have got trees! Aberdeenshire
:06:50. > :06:53.councils says the plan was to turn over part of the area for
:06:54. > :06:59.biodiversity as anecdotally it was really used. Whenever we take a
:07:00. > :07:03.football and play here, not on the big pitch, but I don't know why the
:07:04. > :07:11.council have put them there. They are good for dribbling round!
:07:12. > :07:14.Because it gives you good practice. Aberdeenshire Council couldn't
:07:15. > :07:17.confirm how much it cost to plant trees or how much it could be to
:07:18. > :07:22.remove them. The trees will stay where they are until an agreement is
:07:23. > :07:25.reached with residents. I'm certainly not dressed for the
:07:26. > :07:28.occasion and these are certainly not football boots but it's just a Paul
:07:29. > :07:42.and some trees, how hard can it be? It's over to Kawser now
:07:43. > :07:54.with the weather outlook For most of us it's "A cloudy night
:07:55. > :07:59.so far, the cast our minds back to earlier today. Some contrasts across
:08:00. > :08:06.the country, stepping out across the North-East, temperatures here
:08:07. > :08:14.struggled. But we reached 11 Celsius here in Skye, plenty of sunshine.
:08:15. > :08:18.The good news is that sunshine will be more widespread tomorrow although
:08:19. > :08:24.it will be breezy. The night some very strong winds across the Solway,
:08:25. > :08:30.perhaps even touching gale force, clearer skies in the North-West,
:08:31. > :08:39.temperatures could dip to minus five Celsius in the Highlands. For
:08:40. > :08:43.tomorrow morning, heading out at around eight o'clock quite a bit of
:08:44. > :08:50.cloud around the North-East across more central areas, towards the
:08:51. > :08:52.north it used, quite chilly, quite breezy as well, more sunshine across
:08:53. > :08:57.western part of the Central belt, towards the East some breaks in the
:08:58. > :09:02.cloud to allow sunnier spells through. More in the wake of
:09:03. > :09:06.sunshine across northern parts of England and towards the South-East
:09:07. > :09:08.but across the south west, across Northern Ireland, more in the wake
:09:09. > :09:16.of cloud and outbreaks of patchy rain. Milder air being drawn in,
:09:17. > :09:24.temperatures may be 11 or 12 in the south-west. The wind direction
:09:25. > :09:28.becomes more southerly and withdraw in that milder air but also more
:09:29. > :09:32.unsettled conditions. Looking ahead to Wednesday, we are looking at a
:09:33. > :09:39.contrast compared to recent days, most of the cloud further towards
:09:40. > :09:43.the West this time. Further towards the east, likely to see the best of
:09:44. > :09:47.any brightness, most likely across the Murray first and for all of us
:09:48. > :09:58.to preachers will rise by the end of the week.
:09:59. > :10:00.We're back tomorrow morning. Good night.
