:00:00. > :00:00.It's a day of reflection and mourning -

:00:00. > :00:00.how should the UK now respond to yesterday's terror attack

:00:07. > :00:10.And we'll hear from Scotland's oldest student as he prepares

:00:11. > :00:41.Coming up, the king of crime, Chris Brookmyre, will talk to us

:00:42. > :00:46.And we'll be speaking to the human swan planning a flight

:00:47. > :00:50.across the Hebrides for the Wildfowl Wetlands Trust.

:00:51. > :00:52.But first, vigils have been held tonight for the victims

:00:53. > :00:55.of what was the most deadly act of terrorism on UK soil

:00:56. > :01:00.As the streets around Westminster reopened today,

:01:01. > :01:05.Parliamentarians from across the UK have been echoing the sentiments

:01:06. > :01:11.that there's more that unites us than divides us.

:01:12. > :01:16.Lots of people have been commenting on social media,

:01:17. > :01:24.often using the hashtag "we stand together".

:01:25. > :01:34.Let's take a look at some contributions made. We start with

:01:35. > :01:38.the Scottish Parliament. They have been tweeting with pictures of flags

:01:39. > :01:45.flying at half-mast today. That is the one I'm looking for. Scottish

:01:46. > :01:48.parliament, with flags at half-mast as a mark of respect for events at

:01:49. > :01:50.Westminster, and people offering thoughts on what happened.

:01:51. > :01:53.Lots of images being shared too, this one from Melissa Webb saying:

:01:54. > :01:56.What unites human beings is huge and wonderful.

:01:57. > :02:00.While Tower Hill Tube station tube station sent this picture

:02:01. > :02:06.The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest

:02:07. > :02:23.Earlier I spoke to Stuart McDonald, the MP for Cumbernauld and member of

:02:24. > :02:25.the Home Affairs Select Committee, who was trapped in Parliament

:02:26. > :02:33.He told me how it was to return to work today.

:02:34. > :02:43.It was not easy. It's not easy for parliamentarians staff and London as

:02:44. > :02:49.a whole. There was a unanimous feeling in the chamber yesterday

:02:50. > :02:52.that the best way to show people who engage in violence and terrorism

:02:53. > :02:56.that they will never win and it will not work is to make sure violent

:02:57. > :03:00.action does not work. We now know the attacker was

:03:01. > :03:06.British-born unknown to security services.

:03:07. > :03:14.From we understand from the Prime Minister's statement, there was an

:03:15. > :03:19.historic interest that the security services... They had never been

:03:20. > :03:27.concerned he was an imminent threat. The security services can't forever

:03:28. > :03:35.follow the actions of every person that comes to their attention, and

:03:36. > :03:39.they have to make risk assessments. They can't be impossibly invasive

:03:40. > :03:43.and unrealistic. Why do we seem unable to prevent the

:03:44. > :03:48.radicalisation of our own citizens? We are not absolutely unable, and

:03:49. > :03:56.there are programmes in place which to a lot of good work. We try to

:03:57. > :04:00.make sure that does not happen. One thing used to try to stop

:04:01. > :04:06.radicalisation is the Preventive strategy which you have previously

:04:07. > :04:10.expressed concerns about. What are your concerns?

:04:11. > :04:12.We had a debate about Prevent in Westminster Hall, with different

:04:13. > :04:18.side of the political divide expressing concerns about the

:04:19. > :04:23.strategy. There is a fine line to be drawn. The difficulty in a lot of

:04:24. > :04:29.MPs cab is it has not properly engaged with communities and in some

:04:30. > :04:35.cases it has actively antagonised communities. We express concerns

:04:36. > :04:39.that the programme has to be looked at carefully and probably

:04:40. > :04:46.thoroughly... Not just MPs calling for that but the Government's own

:04:47. > :04:49.review of terrorism legislation, David Anderson had concerns. A

:04:50. > :04:54.different approach in Scotland. There has to be a look at what works

:04:55. > :04:58.best and see if we can learn lessons from how it operates not just in

:04:59. > :04:59.different parts of the UK but abroad as well.

:05:00. > :05:01.Thank you for joining us on Timeline.

:05:02. > :05:03.You don't meet many people with seven university degrees -

:05:04. > :05:05.87-year-old Alex Stewart from Dundee is now looking into

:05:06. > :05:11.What's more, he gained all of his degrees after his retirement.

:05:12. > :05:13.We spoke to him as he considered the prospectus

:05:14. > :05:28.I would like you to explain some of the modules in the second year of

:05:29. > :05:34.the degree in criminology, please. Yes.

:05:35. > :05:43.Studying at the University was a challenge like no other. I have

:05:44. > :05:49.seven university degrees. The degree that I have enjoyed most is my

:05:50. > :05:54.degree in philosophy. That is because the basis of philosophy is

:05:55. > :06:02.to question everything that you have been told. It has been a real slog

:06:03. > :06:07.and I have had to work hard. Preparation for essays, tapping away

:06:08. > :06:15.on the computer until 1am in the morning. Where I have found it

:06:16. > :06:22.getting harder, and I'll be honest, is in the written exams. At the end

:06:23. > :06:29.of term, that is. Because your memory comes into effect, you see?

:06:30. > :06:40.It was another world, because I was mixing with people a fraction of my

:06:41. > :06:45.age, and the lecturers did not spare any anything that the other boys and

:06:46. > :06:48.girls didn't have to do. I think it is remarkable and I don't

:06:49. > :06:51.know if I could see myself doing that at that age, but good on him

:06:52. > :06:55.for doing that. I think it's interesting to have

:06:56. > :06:59.someone with two or three generations ahead of you, and their

:07:00. > :07:05.perspective will totally be different from the way you think.

:07:06. > :07:11.I look upon it as a challenge. That is on the basis that if I start to

:07:12. > :07:19.feel anything, I'll call it a day. -- if I am failing a class. I'm

:07:20. > :07:25.87... Nearly all of our friends have got dementia and everything. For an

:07:26. > :07:33.old, old man with no education, I felt it is worth the effort, you

:07:34. > :07:43.know? I seem to get quite a few sees and thes, and occasionally a A. I

:07:44. > :07:44.have not got A yet in 21 years. Could not figure that out.

:07:45. > :07:46.Absolutely amazing. The introduction of Personal

:07:47. > :07:48.Independence Payments in 2013 has been a bumpy ride -

:07:49. > :07:51.to say the least - for both the Government

:07:52. > :07:53.and recipients of the benefit. It's intended to help disabled

:07:54. > :07:55.people live more independent lives, through an assessment that works out

:07:56. > :07:58.how much they are entitled to get. We've been hearing about

:07:59. > :08:00.people left stranded with no benefits at all,

:08:01. > :08:02.because of simple Since 2013, Disability

:08:03. > :08:08.Living Allowance has been slowly swapping over

:08:09. > :08:10.to Personal Independence The Department of Work and Pensions

:08:11. > :08:17.has been writing a letter to people when it's time for them

:08:18. > :08:19.to make the change. Once that letter arrives, there

:08:20. > :08:22.are four weeks to apply for PIP, Citizens Advice Scotland have

:08:23. > :08:29.told us that it's often 10 days into the one-month timescale

:08:30. > :08:35.before people receive the form, and the three-week waiting list

:08:36. > :08:37.for advice means people struggle They're recommending the timeframe

:08:38. > :08:45.be extended to two months. With us now - Claire McGuire,

:08:46. > :08:47.who had her assessment and Layla Theiner,

:08:48. > :09:01.from Disability Agenda Scotland. Clay, first of all, how did the

:09:02. > :09:06.assessment gold? It was better than I expected, if

:09:07. > :09:09.I'm honest, but not particularly relevant to my condition and my

:09:10. > :09:15.disability. There and then, if you have been

:09:16. > :09:17.successful in being assessed for the benefit?

:09:18. > :09:21.If only it was that straightforward that you would know, it will be

:09:22. > :09:27.between two and six weeks. Previously you were receiving

:09:28. > :09:30.Disability Living Allowance, so what happened?

:09:31. > :09:33.I have always been in receipt of Disability Living Allowance since I

:09:34. > :09:36.was 16 and I moved house at the end of last year and missed the letter

:09:37. > :09:42.at my old address, and I phoned up and they said, we are sorry, you

:09:43. > :09:44.missed the four-week deadline and we are stopping the DLA and there is no

:09:45. > :09:50.process to get it reinstated, and that was the end of it.

:09:51. > :09:54.What impact that have a new? My DLA has always paid for taxis to

:09:55. > :09:59.get me around. That was my mode of transport, and that has left me

:10:00. > :10:05.completely without transport, and impacted on my independence. That is

:10:06. > :10:11.just one of the things that has occurred since it stopped.

:10:12. > :10:15.Let me bring in Layla How typical is her example?

:10:16. > :10:20.From what we have heard, pretty typical. Not everybody has moved

:10:21. > :10:27.over from the LAT PIP yet, but they aim to do it by the autumn. Although

:10:28. > :10:31.a lot of people have not moved over from DLA. But a lot of people have

:10:32. > :10:34.told staff they have been facing these problems with the application

:10:35. > :10:39.or the assessment process people have to do, which, unlike with DLA

:10:40. > :10:45.is face-to-face. Some of the problems Claire has had, they have

:10:46. > :10:48.been facing. But might mean they are being asked about physical

:10:49. > :10:54.conditions if they have a mental health condition, or physical

:10:55. > :10:57.conditions being asked about if they have mental health issues.

:10:58. > :11:01.How difficult is the four-week period to apply from one benefit to

:11:02. > :11:03.the other? The four-week issue has come up and

:11:04. > :11:07.some people have had advice and advocacy so they know they can

:11:08. > :11:10.extend that in some instances, that it has been inconsistent for people,

:11:11. > :11:15.how much they have been able to know about their own rights. That issue

:11:16. > :11:19.has come up for some people, and it is really dependent on what advice

:11:20. > :11:22.and support they have had. Whether there has been a massive problem or

:11:23. > :11:26.not. Claire, you had your assessment

:11:27. > :11:30.today, as we said. What were you ask that you did not think was relevant?

:11:31. > :11:35.The majority of the questions were focused on mental health, moods, and

:11:36. > :11:40.depression, and things that did not apply to me in anyway.

:11:41. > :11:44.Is there a one size fits all question are?

:11:45. > :11:49.It seems so. The questions were very much geared towards that aspect of

:11:50. > :11:56.health and disability, and that did not seem to fit my disability at

:11:57. > :12:01.all. The point that she mentioned, I contacted my MP to get them to take

:12:02. > :12:05.this case on, and even with their intervention, I was still told that

:12:06. > :12:08.there was no grounds for reinstating the DLA.

:12:09. > :12:13.As you would expect, we have spoke to the Department for Work and

:12:14. > :12:15.Pensions and again is a statement, saying, the personal independent

:12:16. > :12:19.payment process is continuing to work effectively with people waiting

:12:20. > :12:23.just six weeks on average for assessment, and under PIP, they say

:12:24. > :12:27.27% of people are receiving the highest possible and old, compared

:12:28. > :12:33.to 15% under the old Disability Living Allowance. How did you

:12:34. > :12:37.persuade them to consider you for the new benefit, one, as you said

:12:38. > :12:41.yourself, you did not inform them about your change of address, so the

:12:42. > :12:45.letter went to the wrong place? To be honest, I think my MP getting

:12:46. > :12:50.involved was the only impact that had, that they consider me for the

:12:51. > :12:54.PIP. But I had to wait 12 weeks almost by that, so it was not a

:12:55. > :12:57.quick process at all to get the assessment.

:12:58. > :12:59.Thank you for coming in and sharing your experiences with us. We

:13:00. > :13:01.appreciate that. Now, many of you may

:13:02. > :13:03.have been helping raise money for Comic Relief,

:13:04. > :13:06.and tomorrow is the big day itself. One school in Aberdeenshire has

:13:07. > :13:09.a lot to live up to, as last time around,

:13:10. > :13:11.it raised a record amount. Here's their story of this

:13:12. > :13:13.year's big dance-athon, as well as a look at

:13:14. > :13:30.where the money goes. We are Balmedie. This is for Comic

:13:31. > :13:36.Relief. We are Balmedie Primary school and we like raising money for

:13:37. > :13:45.comic relief. Modes schools raise up to ?1000. But

:13:46. > :13:50.last time we raised ?21,000. That is a lot of money.

:13:51. > :13:56.That was more than any other school in Scotland and in the UK.

:13:57. > :14:02.Last time we raised a phenomenal amount of money, and we did not

:14:03. > :14:06.expect to raise nearly that amount. We have got really supportive

:14:07. > :14:11.parents here and the kids got fully on board, which meant we raised so

:14:12. > :14:16.much. This year we hope to raise more

:14:17. > :14:22.money. This year we are doing dancing, a community cafe, and

:14:23. > :14:29.putting teachers in stocks. Everyone was dancing the whole day

:14:30. > :14:35.for a time. I enjoyed it a lot but it was sweaty.

:14:36. > :14:42.Today we had an assembly for all of the poorer children in other places

:14:43. > :14:49.that can't get all the school staff, and it was really good.

:14:50. > :14:59.# Sunshine... Moon light... # Here's a charity that we helped

:15:00. > :15:05.with her benefits. We do what we do Sorely Circus,

:15:06. > :15:09.where the main point is the social benefits that people get and the

:15:10. > :15:14.circus is the hook that gets them started. We do it here because I

:15:15. > :15:20.suppose we wanted to reach the people who faced the most

:15:21. > :15:25.disadvantages. You can imagine that learning to walk on stilts is a huge

:15:26. > :15:30.confidence boost and much of what we do is about the social benefits they

:15:31. > :15:33.get working with a team, learning to express themselves, becoming more

:15:34. > :15:38.confident about their own abilities. It's really good. I get better

:15:39. > :15:43.social skills out of it. Without it I can't speak to new people myself

:15:44. > :15:48.as it is very hard. I get it speak to new people. I've learned fire and

:15:49. > :15:52.juggling from it. In a small town there is not very much, other than

:15:53. > :15:56.stay at home, hang out with friends elsewhere but I like it here. It's

:15:57. > :16:04.quite fun. You can learn a few new things.

:16:05. > :16:08.Well done to them. I hope that they make lots of money.

:16:09. > :16:12.We want to bring you up to date on one of the stories

:16:13. > :16:16.the case of married couple Robert and Adam, who are being forced

:16:17. > :16:18.to live on separate continents after the Home Office denied

:16:19. > :16:22.Here's a quick reminder of their interview.

:16:23. > :16:29.The explanation was, it was really weird. All the points that they

:16:30. > :16:36.brought up seemed like petty, weird, prejudiced type things. Like the

:16:37. > :16:39.fact we don't have a child... Obviously, aside from biology

:16:40. > :16:44.between the two of us, we could not adopt. Adam has no citizenship not

:16:45. > :16:47.being in the UK. Yes but good news, this week, Adam

:16:48. > :17:05.and Robert received a letter Obviously Robert and Adam are

:17:06. > :17:08.seeking legal advice on the reapplication and which will let you

:17:09. > :17:14.reapplication and which will let you know how they get on.

:17:15. > :17:17.This week, Adam and Robert received a letter saying that it has been

:17:18. > :17:19.decided that on an exceptional basis, their application

:17:20. > :17:22.Robert and Adam are now asking for legal advice

:17:23. > :17:24.on their reapplication, best of luck to them.

:17:25. > :17:28.If you've got a story for Timeline, like Robert and Adam's,

:17:29. > :17:30.don't forget to get in touch with us.

:17:31. > :17:32.You can email us - timeline@bbc.co.uk -

:17:33. > :17:35.and you can let us know what you want us to follow up

:17:36. > :17:37.through our Facebook and Twitter timelines.

:17:38. > :17:40.And while you're there, take a look at what we're up to online.

:17:41. > :17:42.This week, we've just shared a story of a hidden Victorian gem

:17:43. > :17:45.in dire need of some TLC - the Springburn Winter Gardens.

:17:46. > :17:48.That's on our Twitter timeline, or the BBC Scotland Facebook page.

:17:49. > :17:50.It's a busy weekend coming up for Glasgow -

:17:51. > :17:53.the BBC 6 Music Festival is bringing lots of huge acts to town,

:17:54. > :17:55.while the Comedy Festival has stand-ups doing gigs

:17:56. > :17:59.One comedian, Abi Roberts, has a very topical edge to her set -

:18:00. > :18:02.it's all about Russia, and her time living in the former

:18:03. > :18:05.I spoke to her at the Yesbar Comedy Club in Glasgow.

:18:06. > :18:10.I asked her how she got into doing stand-up comedy in Russia.

:18:11. > :18:12.I guy came to see me at a comedy club. I mentioned I spoke Russian

:18:13. > :18:17.during the set. It turned out that the guy ran a comedy club in Moscow.

:18:18. > :18:21.This is very new in Moscow, only one club.

:18:22. > :18:26.I went there and did four nights in Russian, some in English. It was

:18:27. > :18:35.incredible. I hadn't been back for 18 years to Moscow, where I trained

:18:36. > :18:42.as an opera singer. My mother want meet to be an opera singer, that

:18:43. > :18:48.comes out in my show. It is called "English Woman" my mother wanted me

:18:49. > :18:55.to be an opera singer, my father was a spy, sorry! Diplomat! It was an

:18:56. > :19:02.interesting child growing up. He spoke Russian. As soon as I heard

:19:03. > :19:05.the Russian language, I was Merwised by the gut alsound.

:19:06. > :19:13.Tell me what it was like for you as a woman going on stage in Russia? I

:19:14. > :19:19.didn't realise that at the time but now I have done it, I was privileged

:19:20. > :19:24.to go over, not only as the first chuck comic but as a woman. I felt

:19:25. > :19:32.like a pine year going over. And helping.

:19:33. > :19:37.In Russia it was like international relations, going over, telling

:19:38. > :19:43.jokes, relaying some of the good stuff about the Russian nature, and

:19:44. > :19:48.the Russian culture as well. Is the comedy different there? Did

:19:49. > :19:56.you change your routine? Some parts. Obviously they have western

:19:57. > :20:01.products, western names. They have Spenks, which is the Russian

:20:02. > :20:06.underwear for the larger laid. I was doing a bit about wearing them,

:20:07. > :20:10.creating a tsunami of fat, that comes up the body, cars, trees,

:20:11. > :20:15.houses. They loved that. It was relatable. And some things that I

:20:16. > :20:21.touched on which, if you did it in the UK, nobody would bat an eyelid,

:20:22. > :20:27.if you spoke about David Cameron... Doing whatever he was doing, and

:20:28. > :20:32.then when I touched on Putin and made a joke about him and possible

:20:33. > :20:43.extra curricular activity, there was a kind of... A change of automatic.

:20:44. > :20:49.Then a guy at the back said: Be careful, even the windows have ears.

:20:50. > :20:56.I looked closely, he had a leather jacket on, not like mine, with a

:20:57. > :21:01.bulge visible in his pocket, so I thought, yes... Probably the

:21:02. > :21:06.strangest heckle I have ever had. You are here for the festival, I

:21:07. > :21:10.wonder if anything, apart from the cold, that Scotland shares with

:21:11. > :21:19.Russia? Definitely the sense of how many your. When I was there, you can

:21:20. > :21:24.tell the difference between the English audiences - bravo, darling.

:21:25. > :21:30.But in Russia, they are likuraway, and slapping their thighs. I

:21:31. > :21:34.thought, has the revolution started? And actually, that's what it is like

:21:35. > :21:37.when I do shows in Edinburgh and Glasgow! Can I get a thigh slapping

:21:38. > :21:43.Can I get a thigh slapping on the show!

:21:44. > :21:45.He's one of Scotland's most famous crime writers -

:21:46. > :21:47.and having just won huge acclaim for his last novel,

:21:48. > :21:50.Chris Brookmyre is here to tell us about his next one,

:21:51. > :21:53.due out in a couple of weeks, and it couldn't be more topical.

:21:54. > :22:00.And that is because? It is touching on hacking. It was finished about a

:22:01. > :22:05.year ago. At the time I thought that with a year having passed, you

:22:06. > :22:12.wonder what the subject matter is going to be, if it is relevant at

:22:13. > :22:16.the time. It had been inspired by things like Anonymous. And a year

:22:17. > :22:21.has pasted and hacking is top of the agenda.

:22:22. > :22:25.So all of this was written before accusations that Russia had hacked

:22:26. > :22:31.the Democratic Party in America, all of that? Yes. And amazingly, a lot

:22:32. > :22:38.of the techniques seem to recurl. There is a part in the book, two

:22:39. > :22:42.people attempt to hack something by leaving US B sticks around in an

:22:43. > :22:48.office building and remark it is something that people have been told

:22:49. > :22:52.not to do. If you find a U is B stick you don't put it in the

:22:53. > :22:58.computer. But it turns out that one of the things that the Russians did

:22:59. > :23:02.was to flood the local area, the newspaper stalls with cheap US B

:23:03. > :23:07.sticks so sell them. So people were buying the US B sticks, thinking it

:23:08. > :23:12.is new, it is fine. Are you sure you are not into it?

:23:13. > :23:16.But it's amazing how the techniques have not changed. What was

:23:17. > :23:21.fascinating that people think that hacking is all about code, it is

:23:22. > :23:25.about computer techie stuff but it is all about confidence tricks.

:23:26. > :23:28.About getting someone to tell you information they should not or the

:23:29. > :23:32.#1r58 of which they don't appreciate.

:23:33. > :23:38.Did what you find out frighten you? You did a lot of research into this?

:23:39. > :23:45.I grew up with computers, so it is about 20 years since I bought a

:23:46. > :23:53.modem and went online and watched the escalation of how much we putm.

:23:54. > :23:58.-- online. So I have, because of that, always been squeamish about

:23:59. > :24:00.how much I put online. I up am always shocked about how much

:24:01. > :24:04.information people share about themselves. That is what makes you

:24:05. > :24:10.vulnerable. You have a heist going on as well as a hack. It is how

:24:11. > :24:16.about one piece of information gets you to the next level of security

:24:17. > :24:20.and so on and so on until you are at the top floor.

:24:21. > :24:28.It is great fodder for you but how much is the internet changing crime

:24:29. > :24:31.writing? There are new books, Intrusions, Craig Robertson has

:24:32. > :24:37.written about it, crime writers are always looking... We are a weather

:24:38. > :24:42.vain, anticipating what is the next deception you can get up to using

:24:43. > :24:46.new technolgy. In that respect, the internet is a great tool for crime

:24:47. > :24:50.writing in a way that mobile phones were a problem. You always had to

:24:51. > :24:53.come up with a reason why to the to use a mobile phone so as not to get

:24:54. > :24:54.into trouble. Good luck with the book.

:24:55. > :24:58.How can schools offer support to young children

:24:59. > :25:01.With scientific developments, all sorts of things

:25:02. > :25:05.Hazelwood School in Glasgow invited us in to see their new sensory room,

:25:06. > :25:07.which helps children make choices about what they can

:25:08. > :25:21.Hazelwood School is a school for children, young people were aged

:25:22. > :25:26.three to 18, who have akissal support needs.

:25:27. > :25:31.Go on... Big step! Hazelwood School is a school that is especially

:25:32. > :25:35.designed and has specialist teachers for that provision.

:25:36. > :25:42.Caitlin, do you want to use the switch? Good girl! The newest aspect

:25:43. > :25:48.of the school is the sensory room. We have spent some years phrasing

:25:49. > :25:52.for it. . Caitlin is clearly communicating with us that is her

:25:53. > :25:57.choice. If she didn't want the bubbles on, she would push the

:25:58. > :26:02.switch away. We have fair range of abilities in the school, so we

:26:03. > :26:05.needed an environment that is flexible and adaptable for the needs

:26:06. > :26:11.of the children. Good boy! Some of the work that the

:26:12. > :26:16.kids can do in here is establishing cause and effect skills... Selecting

:26:17. > :26:26.preferences, whether it is colours or lighting in the room... I think

:26:27. > :26:31.that just about ever school in Scotland could justify having a

:26:32. > :26:38.resource like this. There are pupils in main stream with conditions like

:26:39. > :26:42.autism, dyspraxia but they may need a different environment away from

:26:43. > :26:50.the main stream classrooms to find an environment where they can get

:26:51. > :26:55.Now there are all sorts of ways to raise awareness for your cause,

:26:56. > :26:58.but this from the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust takes it

:26:59. > :27:01.To raise awareness of the demise of the Berwick swan,

:27:02. > :27:04.the biologist Sacha Dench has turned herself into a human swan, by taking

:27:05. > :27:07.to the skies in a paramotor - last year she flew over

:27:08. > :27:09.the English Channel, and this year she's set

:27:10. > :27:26.How did you get into this, Sacha? Well, the paramotor, I started to

:27:27. > :27:31.fly in order to get a better view of the wetlands. So from above they

:27:32. > :27:39.look absolutely amazing. That is how I got into flying. Then I saw a use

:27:40. > :27:43.for that in saving the Berwick swan. You have done amazing travels over

:27:44. > :27:49.the English Channel, now to Hebrides, is that next? I am flying

:27:50. > :27:53.tip to tip over the Hebrides. They are a special place. I absolutely

:27:54. > :27:57.love Scotland but never flown up there, that looks really exciting.

:27:58. > :28:02.And briefly, the Berwick swan, why is it in trouble? We have lost about

:28:03. > :28:06.half of them in 20 years. It has been shot at, they hit the power

:28:07. > :28:10.lines. Climate change is having effect, and in the UK and the west

:28:11. > :28:15.of Europe, we are losing the wetlands too fast. All of those

:28:16. > :28:17.things. That is why I needed to fly the route.

:28:18. > :28:20.Thank you very much. Good luck with that.

:28:21. > :28:29.But, before we go, we want to leave you these pictures of how people

:28:30. > :28:31.around the UK have responded to yesterday's appalling

:28:32. > :29:07.The alternative spirit of 6 Music comes to Glasgow,

:29:08. > :29:37.He believes himself to be your equal.

:29:38. > :29:40.We would have no quarrel with Aelfric.

:29:41. > :29:43.I need 200 Christian men of Bebbanburg.

:29:44. > :29:48.In return, I shall require the head...
