You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel. | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
But do stay with us on BBC One, it's now time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
The family of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
are stepping up their campaign to have his conviction appealed. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
They want the organisation which looks into possible | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
miscarriages of justice to look again at Abdelbaset | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was the only person ever convicted of the bombing | :00:21. | :00:37. | |
of Pan Am flight 103 of the UK's worst terrorist atrocity. He lost an | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
appeal but in 2009, eight years after being jailed for life in | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Scotland, he dropped it. At the same time he was released from prison on | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
compassionate grounds because he was terminally ill. Now almost five | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
years after his death at home in Libya, his family is to have a | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
dossier to the Scottish criminal cases review commission which they | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
say casts doubt on his conviction. They are asking the commission to | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
review the file and decide whether to refer the case to the Appeal | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
Court. There has been listed above does this conviction, the only place | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
where this can be cleared up once and for all come can be anything out | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
it is in the Appeal Court, that is it is most appropriate for the legal | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
system in this country to decide. The Crown Office has said it doesn't | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
fear scrutiny from the review commission and says it stands ready | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
to vigorously defend the conviction. Meanwhile his family expect the next | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
part of its campaign to get under way when it had its files to the | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Scottish criminal cases review commission in the next fortnight. | :01:40. | :01:40. | |
The deputy leader of the Scottish Conservatives, | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Jackson Carlaw, has admitted the UK Government's so-called rape | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
But he defended the measure and said it should not be scrapped. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
It was one of the issues debated today as Scotland's political | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
parties set out their stalls for the General Election. | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
The so-called rape laws has been dogging the Conservatives. The | :01:57. | :02:12. | |
policy refers to child tax credit, now limited to the first two | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
children, but which can be claimed for subsequent offspring if they | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
were conceived through rape. And if that can be proved. There has been | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
widespread condemnation and it seems some Tories are not entirely | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
comfortable that the comfortable with that. We felt it appropriate | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
that should be multiple exemptions, multiple boss fights doubled, and | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
any child that was subsequently born as a rod of nonconsensual sex. It is | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
not like we think it is right that benefit is attached but I accept it | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
is an open policy. The SNP had been challenged by the Tories to use | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
default powers to mitigate the rape clause. We support its repeal at | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
Westminster, that is where our focus is, and if ever we wanted a timely | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
reminder that the Tories are the nasty party, an epithet that was | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
coined by Theresa May, the current trimester, it is this heinous rape | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
clause. Looking ahead to the election, the Liberal Democrats say | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
that allowing another referendum on the final Brexit deal will boost | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
their prospects. If Labour don't get what they want, they are left | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
impotent in the process, and as such they will be as Kezia Dugdale | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
foretold, carping from the sidelines. This is not a credible | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
opposition. We want to be the new opposition to the Tory Government | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
and business. But Labour incest they are the only real opposition to the | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Conservatives. If you want a Brexit deal that is in the best interests | :03:41. | :03:41. | |
of Scotland and the United Kingdom, deal that is in the best interests | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
then vote Labour. The Tories want to spend this whole election talking | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
about Brexit talking about independence. Two elections, endless | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
opportunities for point-scoring. Celtic have beaten Rangers 2-0 | :03:56. | :03:56. | |
in the Scottish Cup, to set up a final against Aberdeen | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
and the chance to complete The old firm derby, deafening noise, | :04:00. | :04:18. | |
check. Lots of colour, check. Some feisty early tackles, indeed. But | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
rarely are these matches so one-sided. After 15 minutes of total | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
domination, boom. Rangers change things at the break, but they just | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
could not live with their rivals. Griffiths run only ever looked like | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
ending one way. And when Sinclair smashed home from the spot, handing | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
rocks and rolled. At the end, the new Rangers manager looked relieved | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
it was all over. Concealed by a man with his eyes on an even bigger | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
prize. You and tantalising close to the treble. Can you will allow | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
yourself to discuss what that will mean to you and this club? Melo only | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
after we do it. A season to see at any type of invincible. The -- | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
after we do it. A season to see at Celtic under Brendan Rodgers | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
Marchant. A cold spell on and Shetland saw | :05:18. | :05:27. | |
some snow today has captured by one of our weather watchers. We will see | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
rain tonight pushing across the country. He is the pressure chart, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
to my string pulling away to the south, then this cold front, this is | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
what is good open the floodgates, the cold arctic air which will track | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
in right across the country eventually. The Met office to have a | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
yellow warning for snow for the Highlands and the Grampian area for | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
tomorrow. They'll be significance for high ground for this time of | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
year and even some snow at a lower levels. Tricky driving conditions | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
just to be aware of. First thing tomorrow, fairly frequent showers | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
initially, though showers will gather together and become prolonged | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
along the north, extending and the Grampian, through the course of the | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
morning improving, showers feeding and across eastern Scotland, but a | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
lot of dry, sunny weather in the west. The rest of the UK, a cloudier | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
picture, soft of the north of England, it was the patchy rain or | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
drizzle. In front of the weather front, to his mother, not be tempted | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
to fall away. It was tomorrow afternoon, across Scotland, further | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
showers in the east, snow of a high ground for the south-east. That | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
clears away and showers may be confined to the north and it will be | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
a very cold night, widespread frost, a risk of ice as well. Tuesday, that | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
cold air and offsets have across the UK, but a straightforward northerly | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
on Tuesday meaning plenty of wintry showers in the north, in a lot of | :06:51. | :06:51. | |
dry sunny weather in the south. Our next update is at | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
6.25 tomorrow morning. Until then, from everyone | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
