:00:11. > :00:14.The family of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing
:00:15. > :00:16.are stepping up their campaign to have his conviction appealed.
:00:17. > :00:18.They want the organisation which looks into possible
:00:19. > :00:20.miscarriages of justice to look again at Abdelbaset
:00:21. > :00:37.Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was the only person ever convicted of the bombing
:00:38. > :00:41.of Pan Am flight 103 of the UK's worst terrorist atrocity. He lost an
:00:42. > :00:46.appeal but in 2009, eight years after being jailed for life in
:00:47. > :00:49.Scotland, he dropped it. At the same time he was released from prison on
:00:50. > :00:54.compassionate grounds because he was terminally ill. Now almost five
:00:55. > :00:58.years after his death at home in Libya, his family is to have a
:00:59. > :01:02.dossier to the Scottish criminal cases review commission which they
:01:03. > :01:06.say casts doubt on his conviction. They are asking the commission to
:01:07. > :01:12.review the file and decide whether to refer the case to the Appeal
:01:13. > :01:14.Court. There has been listed above does this conviction, the only place
:01:15. > :01:18.where this can be cleared up once and for all come can be anything out
:01:19. > :01:23.it is in the Appeal Court, that is it is most appropriate for the legal
:01:24. > :01:26.system in this country to decide. The Crown Office has said it doesn't
:01:27. > :01:32.fear scrutiny from the review commission and says it stands ready
:01:33. > :01:35.to vigorously defend the conviction. Meanwhile his family expect the next
:01:36. > :01:39.part of its campaign to get under way when it had its files to the
:01:40. > :01:40.Scottish criminal cases review commission in the next fortnight.
:01:41. > :01:43.The deputy leader of the Scottish Conservatives,
:01:44. > :01:46.Jackson Carlaw, has admitted the UK Government's so-called rape
:01:47. > :01:52.But he defended the measure and said it should not be scrapped.
:01:53. > :01:54.It was one of the issues debated today as Scotland's political
:01:55. > :01:56.parties set out their stalls for the General Election.
:01:57. > :02:12.The so-called rape laws has been dogging the Conservatives. The
:02:13. > :02:16.policy refers to child tax credit, now limited to the first two
:02:17. > :02:19.children, but which can be claimed for subsequent offspring if they
:02:20. > :02:23.were conceived through rape. And if that can be proved. There has been
:02:24. > :02:27.widespread condemnation and it seems some Tories are not entirely
:02:28. > :02:32.comfortable that the comfortable with that. We felt it appropriate
:02:33. > :02:35.that should be multiple exemptions, multiple boss fights doubled, and
:02:36. > :02:41.any child that was subsequently born as a rod of nonconsensual sex. It is
:02:42. > :02:45.not like we think it is right that benefit is attached but I accept it
:02:46. > :02:48.is an open policy. The SNP had been challenged by the Tories to use
:02:49. > :02:54.default powers to mitigate the rape clause. We support its repeal at
:02:55. > :03:00.Westminster, that is where our focus is, and if ever we wanted a timely
:03:01. > :03:04.reminder that the Tories are the nasty party, an epithet that was
:03:05. > :03:10.coined by Theresa May, the current trimester, it is this heinous rape
:03:11. > :03:13.clause. Looking ahead to the election, the Liberal Democrats say
:03:14. > :03:17.that allowing another referendum on the final Brexit deal will boost
:03:18. > :03:21.their prospects. If Labour don't get what they want, they are left
:03:22. > :03:27.impotent in the process, and as such they will be as Kezia Dugdale
:03:28. > :03:30.foretold, carping from the sidelines. This is not a credible
:03:31. > :03:35.opposition. We want to be the new opposition to the Tory Government
:03:36. > :03:40.and business. But Labour incest they are the only real opposition to the
:03:41. > :03:41.Conservatives. If you want a Brexit deal that is in the best interests
:03:42. > :03:47.of Scotland and the United Kingdom, deal that is in the best interests
:03:48. > :03:50.then vote Labour. The Tories want to spend this whole election talking
:03:51. > :03:55.about Brexit talking about independence. Two elections, endless
:03:56. > :03:56.opportunities for point-scoring. Celtic have beaten Rangers 2-0
:03:57. > :03:59.in the Scottish Cup, to set up a final against Aberdeen
:04:00. > :04:18.and the chance to complete The old firm derby, deafening noise,
:04:19. > :04:25.check. Lots of colour, check. Some feisty early tackles, indeed. But
:04:26. > :04:33.rarely are these matches so one-sided. After 15 minutes of total
:04:34. > :04:38.domination, boom. Rangers change things at the break, but they just
:04:39. > :04:45.could not live with their rivals. Griffiths run only ever looked like
:04:46. > :04:53.ending one way. And when Sinclair smashed home from the spot, handing
:04:54. > :04:56.rocks and rolled. At the end, the new Rangers manager looked relieved
:04:57. > :05:02.it was all over. Concealed by a man with his eyes on an even bigger
:05:03. > :05:04.prize. You and tantalising close to the treble. Can you will allow
:05:05. > :05:11.yourself to discuss what that will mean to you and this club? Melo only
:05:12. > :05:15.after we do it. A season to see at any type of invincible. The --
:05:16. > :05:17.after we do it. A season to see at Celtic under Brendan Rodgers
:05:18. > :05:27.Marchant. A cold spell on and Shetland saw
:05:28. > :05:30.some snow today has captured by one of our weather watchers. We will see
:05:31. > :05:35.rain tonight pushing across the country. He is the pressure chart,
:05:36. > :05:39.to my string pulling away to the south, then this cold front, this is
:05:40. > :05:43.what is good open the floodgates, the cold arctic air which will track
:05:44. > :05:48.in right across the country eventually. The Met office to have a
:05:49. > :05:51.yellow warning for snow for the Highlands and the Grampian area for
:05:52. > :05:55.tomorrow. They'll be significance for high ground for this time of
:05:56. > :05:59.year and even some snow at a lower levels. Tricky driving conditions
:06:00. > :06:02.just to be aware of. First thing tomorrow, fairly frequent showers
:06:03. > :06:06.initially, though showers will gather together and become prolonged
:06:07. > :06:10.along the north, extending and the Grampian, through the course of the
:06:11. > :06:13.morning improving, showers feeding and across eastern Scotland, but a
:06:14. > :06:20.lot of dry, sunny weather in the west. The rest of the UK, a cloudier
:06:21. > :06:24.picture, soft of the north of England, it was the patchy rain or
:06:25. > :06:29.drizzle. In front of the weather front, to his mother, not be tempted
:06:30. > :06:33.to fall away. It was tomorrow afternoon, across Scotland, further
:06:34. > :06:37.showers in the east, snow of a high ground for the south-east. That
:06:38. > :06:40.clears away and showers may be confined to the north and it will be
:06:41. > :06:46.a very cold night, widespread frost, a risk of ice as well. Tuesday, that
:06:47. > :06:50.cold air and offsets have across the UK, but a straightforward northerly
:06:51. > :06:51.on Tuesday meaning plenty of wintry showers in the north, in a lot of
:06:52. > :06:53.dry sunny weather in the south. Our next update is at
:06:54. > :06:56.6.25 tomorrow morning. Until then, from everyone
:06:57. > :06:59.on the weekend team, enjoy what's This is all Roz,
