Chief Inspector Robert Stevenson.

Chief Inspector Robert Stevenson, who works in CIRV, said the project appeared to be twice as effective as other attempts to tackle gang violence.He said: "What we do is offer the gang members a choice. A SCHEME to tackle gangs has almost halved the level of violent offending. Latest figures from the Community Initiative to Reduce Violence (CIRV) show violent offending by those who signed up to the project had reduced by 46 per cent.

The project, set up by the joint police and government body the Violence Reduction UnitADVERTISEMENT, started in the east end of Glasgow in 2008 and was extended to the north side of the city in 2009. To date, 400 gang members have signed up. A police spokesman said: "Grampian Police can confirm that the body of a man has been recovered from the shoreline at Whitehills. While it is too early to confirm the identity of the deceased, the family of Jake Miller have been informed."

Mr Miller had worked as an apprentice welder at SM Geddes Welding and Fabrication in Gardenstown, near Banff, for the past six months. He also worked part-time at the Fife Lodge Hotel in Banff.MPUMinCharsCutOff:210 PageLength:1001MPUPositionFromStart:250 MPUPositionRange:1000hasVideoOrImage:False--->

By stabbing him three times.

Tianhui Zhan, 19, also known as Jeff, told Dr Ian Dewar that he saw blood everywhere and believed that Michael Davis, 21, was going to attack him.He denies murdering Mr Davis in West Campbell Street, Glasgow, on 13 October last year and has lodgeADVERTISEMENTd a special defence of insanity.

The court has heard Zhan killed Mr Davis, a cleaner, by stabbing him three times. The jury has to decide whether Zhan deliberately targeted and killed Mr Davis or if he was insane at the time.At the High Court in Glasgow yesterday Dr Dewar, 44, a consultant forensic psychiatrist at the State Hospital, told advocate depute Derek Ogg QC, prosecuting, that Zhan had spoken to him about the events leading to the death of Mr Davis.In a report prepared for the court Dr Dewar said Zhan told him that voices were instructing him to go to Glasgow.

That must change.

However, this figure is also expected to increase after the MoD gives a full figure for the cost of its decision to scrap the new Nimrod aircraft.The MoD is also making cost savings by reducing the size of the military by 18,000, which includes 11,000 redundancies. Recently, armed forces minister Nick Harvey admitted to the committee that soldiers who fought in Afghanistan this year could be among those receiving P45s, despite assurances their jobs would be safe.

Yesterday the government admitted work needed to be done to improve the accounting. Defence Secretary Liam Fox said: "As I have repeatedly said, the Ministry of Defence has not managed its resources well for many years. We inherited a multi-billion-pound deficit from the previous government that was characterised by waste and inefficiency under Labour. That must change."While there are specific difficulties in managing assets in war zones across the globe, we must have better systems in place to accurately track what resources are held and where."

I announced major defence reforms last week to deliver clearer structures and financial responsibility across the department. This will be implemented at pace, and I wish to see demonstrable improvement in the MoD's inventory management."MPUMinCharsCutOff:210 PageLength:2613MPUPositionFromStart:250 MPUPositionRange:1000hasVideoOrImage:False--->

Assistant Chief Constable Colin McCashey.

Scotland Yard does not believe that Breivik has visited the UK in the last year. However, they are inrvestigating visits dating back furthe, who he met, and their movements since. There is no suggestion in the manifesto that Breivik has visited Scotland, or has any links to Scottish terrorist cells, but police still intend to investigate the possibility.Scottish police say the atrocity, which cost 76 lives, is a reminder of the threat and consequences of terrorism.

Assistant Chief Constable Colin McCashey, counter terrorism co-ordinator for the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland, said: "The tragic events in Norway remind us of the danger that extremists pose to our safety and security."Every day the security services and police throughout the UK are working hard to protect communities from terrorists and violent extremists."While we do everything we can to prevent this type of attack, there is still a risk and we need people in our communities to remain vigilant and report anything suspicious."

The attack in Norway also highlights the importance of securing materials such as ammonium nitrate and ammonium nitrate-based fertilisers which can be used to make explosive devices."He added: "If there is any indication that the person responsible for the Norwegian attacks is connected to Scotland we will investigate that possibility.

I have seen recent press reporting which indicates a possible connection to extreme right-wing activists in the UK and elsewhere and possible targets in the UK. If there was such a network I would be extremely concerned and we will continue to do everything we can to keep the people of Scotland safe."The Anti-Terrorist Hotline is 0800 789321MPUMinCharsCutOff:210 PageLength:2113MPUPositionFromStart:250 MPUPositionRange:1000hasVideoOrImage:False--->www.outletgucci20ll.net. www.outletgucci20ll.com. www.onlineoutletcoachs.net
 

Who currently represents Drumbrae/Gyle.

Mr Fitzpatrick said: "It's going to be a hard fight, but I'm prepared to do the business."The 58-year-old is currently back working as a porter at the Western General Hospital, where he used to work before being elected in 1984.His council career saw him take on a wide range of responsibilities, from his first post as convener of the Christmas decorations sub-committee, through roles in race relations, consumer protection and the joint valuation board to a year as senior bailie, deputising for the Lord Provost at visits and civic functions.

He was narrowly defeated in 2007, but fellow Labour candidate Elizabeth Maginnis did get elected. When Cllr Maginnis died suddenly the following year, Mr Fitzpatrick failed to win the by-election nomination.He said he initially joined Labour's list of potential candidates for next year's elections because he felt his experience would be useful for the party."I put my name down a couple of years ago when they were struggling to get candidates," he said. "I think there's a good lot of names now and I wasn't expecting to get selected, but I did."

It's a different type of area with different problems but very diverse, and there will be pockets of poverty as well as areas with a lot of money."I will be out there most weekends and try to get round as many people as possible."In 2007, the Tories' Kate Mackenzie topped the poll in Almond, with Lord Provost George Grubb elected in second place for the Lib Dems and the SNP's Norman Work taking the third seat.

Councillor Grubb is not standing again and in his place the Lib Dems plan to field Robert Aldridge, who currently represents Drumbrae/Gyle.Mr Fitzpatrick said: "The big issue out there is going to be the new Forth road bridge. We will have to make the best of it for the locals. It's not an issue that is going to go away."MPUMinCharsCutOff:210 PageLength:2248MPUPositionFromStart:250 MPUPositionRange:1000hasVideoOrImage:False--->www.coachsoutletfactory.net. www.outletcoachs20ll.com

He escaped relatively unscathed.

LABOUR veteran Billy Fitzpatrick is bidding to make a comeback at next year's council elections. The former Granton councillor served for 23 years at the City Chambers before losing his seat at the last elections in 2007 when the voting system changed. Now he has been selected to stand as Labour's candidate in the Almond ward next May.LaADVERTISEMENTbour failed to get anyone elected in the three-member ward last time, polling just 10.8 per cent of the vote.

Last year, at Cosatu's insistence, Mr Malema appeared before the ANC's senior leaders in a disciplinary hearing for bringing the ruling party into disrepute and defying its leadership. He escaped relatively unscathed, but the hearing put him at odds with president Jacob Zuma, whom he once said he would "kill" for. Mr Malema, born into poverty, lists as a main source of income his salary as the head of the Youth League, which is a few thousand dollars a month.

Civil society group Afriforum has laid a criminal charge against Mr Malema based on media allegations but police have yet to determine whether they will launch an investigation.Mr Malema, 30, has no direct policymaking power in the ANC, but he is courted by those who do because of his ability to influence the masses of poor.MPUMinCharsCutOff:210 PageLength:2327MPUPositionFromStart:250 MPUPositionRange:1000hasVideoOrImage:False--->
