The Maltese shopkeeper whose evidence was key in convicting | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Abdelbasset Al-Megrahi of the Lockerbie bombing has died. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Tony Gauci played a crucial part in linking the only man | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
convicted of the crime with the explosion. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Tony Gauci ran a clothes shop in Malta and said he recognised | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
Abdelbasset Al-Megrahi as the man who bought clothes from him, clothes | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
which investigators claim were in the suitcase containing | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
the bomb which blew up over Lockerbie in | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
This direct link was key to him being | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
But people who believed he was wrongly convicted always doubted | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
this evidence and continue to campaign to clear Al-Megrahi's name. | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
I think a distorted his evidence by saying someone look like them and | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
how he modified his response to the various opportunities he was given | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
by the police to do what he did. I think it is better | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
to say his evidence was The Crown Office previously insisted | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
no-one was offered any inducement by them or the police and that no | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
evidence any other law enforcement Two years ago the then | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Lord Advocate said he after being released | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
from jail in Scotland He denied he ever had | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
seen Tony Gauci or ever The family of boxer Mike Towell has | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
made an official complaint to NHS Tayside about the medical | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
treatment he received The Dundee fighter suffered a brain | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
bleed during a televised fight last Scotland's higher education minister | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
has said there'll be a fresh look The comments came amid calls | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
to reform the system which helps those from less well-off | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
backgrounds go to Borders College, like | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
Scotland's other colleges on students from less well-off | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
backgrounds who need The principle here argues | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
the system could be better. For one, she says college | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
and university You would be able to apply for | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
a loan if you were going into higher education, but not trying to do | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
a college programme. For example, someone training to be | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
a teacher can access a loan and go to university, | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
but someone who wants to be a joiner He figures out this week shortly | :02:51. | :03:05. | |
total amount of paid to student in bursaries and grant us down by more | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
than 35% since just before the SNP came to power and at the same time | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
the value of student loans was up by more than 160%. Scottish students | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
get free tuition but one expert argues that does not solve the | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
problem. When you cut grants the people who take on the extra debt is | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
the whose families cannot help them out so the more you push your money | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
into subsidising fees further up the income scale the less money you have | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
to help those further down the scale from having to take out larger | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
student loans. The Government recognises the concerns. Changes we | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
made in 2013 to the student support package were built with stakeholders | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
to ensure students had the maximum amount of money and their pockets | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
to ensure students had the maximum and that is what we delivered and | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
that is a combination of bursaries and loans. Now stakeholders have | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
concerns that balance has not reflected well on students. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Ministers have launched an independent review into student | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
support and say they are committed to give everyone access to | :04:19. | :04:19. | |
education. In Tennis, Andy Murray has | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
won the Vienna Open, meaning his quest to be the world's | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
top-ranking Murray beat the Frenchman | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in straight sets. The Scot will replace Novak Djokovic | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
as world number one if he wins the Paris Masters a week | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
today, as long as the Serb I have never won in Paris before and | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
sometimes struggle there with the condition that sort I needed to play | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
better this year and keep improving and learning and if I do that I give | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
a chance. Let's get the weather | :04:50. | :04:49. | |

showers in the north and those showers wintry over the hills. | :06:24. | :06:25. |
