investigation into his killing. am sorry that we did not treat you | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
in a way that made you feel like you mattered to us. I am sorry that | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
we did not record and investigate the attack on Simon as a racist | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
incident when we should have done Also, the battle over the headstone | :00:45. | :00:49. | |

The BBC news would you wrote to Scotland. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
And I am live on the River Tweed, where concern is growing that they | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
could be an alien species somewhere Lothian and Borders Police have | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
apologised to the family of a Chinese delivery driver killed in | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Edinburgh last year by a gang of youths. Simon San's relatives | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
believed his death was racially motivated but this would not SOC -- | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
was not investigated by the police. Today the force admitted the family | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
had not received the service they deserved. | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
The darkest moment of his life, Trieu Seng San betrayed, angry, | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
insulted over his son's death. sorry that we did not listen to you | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
when you told us you thought the attack on Simon was racially | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
motivated. I am sorry that we did not treat you in a way that made | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
you feel like you mattered to us. I am sorry that we did not record and | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
investigate the attack on Simon as a racist incident when we should | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
have done so. Simon San was 40 when he was killed. He was a Chinese | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
takeaway delivery driver whose family was originally from Vietnam. | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
He had been blogging here when he was attacked. The youths rocked his | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
car. One punched him in the face. He suffered severe head injuries | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
and died later in hospital. 16- year-old John Reid was sentenced to | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
five years. Three other youths were convicted on lesser charges. The | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
family is convinced they would have received a longer sentences if the | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
Crown had been convinced this was a racist crime. Four times the family | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
reported being assaulted. Some of those incidents were racist. The | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
youths involved had a history of antisocial and raised his behaviour. | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
But at the time, the family said they were deeply insulted because | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
they felt the police had somehow it suggested... The consequences were | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
severe. Several officers have been disciplined and police procedures | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
and training have been changed. This is not the first time police | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
have failed to tackle race hate crime. Following the Stephen | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Lawrence report a whole series of guidelines were implemented. It is | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
unfortunate that again and again police officers on the ground | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
failed to heed guidelines. That is unacceptable. It is a disgrace and | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
a betrayal of the word justice. San family say they will never | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
forgive the officers who ignored them simply because they were | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Chinese. The force they have made changes to ensure this can never | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
happen again. We have had an apology from the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
police but there still seems to be some confusion surrounding this | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
case. Yes, the police have been apologising profusely this | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
afternoon for the mistakes they have made in terms of investigating | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
and recording this as a racist crime. They say they accept the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
evidence was there. Those mistakes compounded further for the family, | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
adding to their misery by the fact there were failures in the | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
interpretation service offered to them at one stage. There were | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
confusions. The family was asked to bring Mr San to court as the | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
defendant. The police did not act upon evidence. The ground have | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
issued a statement this evening to St that they have rejected calls to | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
of the Lord Advocate to order an immediate and urgent inquiry into | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
this case and how it was handled. - - the Crown. So yes, there does | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
appear to be a different opinion between the police and the Crown | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Office on what constitutes race crime. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
The headstone of Malcolm Webster's murdered wife has been removed | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
after pleas from her family. Early this year, Webster was convicted of | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
killing Claire Morris. The relatives have been campaigning for | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
the stone to be removed because it still bears her married name and | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
refers to her as a dear wife. The headstone Malcolm Webster | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
placed on Claire Morris's grave. The wife that he murdered. It has | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
now been removed by the local council. A source of torment to her | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
family, gone. As far as I was concerned, the headstone was not | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
only a light. It was a monstrosity and some think I did not want to | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
have associated with clout. Malcolm Webster is serving a minimum term | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
of 30 years for killing Claire in a staged car crash in 1994. His | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
crimes also included trying to kill his second wife in New Zealand. | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
Aberdeenshire Council says it is happy that what it has done is | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
legal and that given the circumstances, the wording on the | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
headstone would consider a death has corrosion. -- would be | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
considered a desecration. To remove that partially separates Malcolm | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
from Clare. The next step is to try to get some other memorial erected | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
to it. It may have to go on the wall behind the grave because I do | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
not want to leave an unmarked grave. The headstone is being kept in | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
storage. Webster could challenge its removal but Claire Morris's | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
family hope he will remain silent and that Blair will finally be | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
allowed to rest in peace. A schoolboy and two friends who | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
killed a young mother after she aborted his baby have been jailed. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |

went missing when visiting Memphis. Gerry lorry was a regular visitor | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
and travel there alone. -- Gerrie Lawrie. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
She was celebrating the life of her hero but hours after these photos | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
were taken, Gerrie Lawrie's own life appeared to be cut short. As | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
police investigate her death inside his apartment, the friend who died | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
with her says there are many questions. They are downplaying | :08:40. | :08:49. | |
this right now. Her Facebook was deleted. The fact that they cannot | :08:49. | :08:58. | |
find the role,... Gerrie's partner has flown out to search for answers. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Police say an autopsy is on the way that there is no sign of violence. | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
Gerrie was last St -- seen a week ago but the alarm was raised when | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
she did not returned to Aberdeen on Saturday as planned. A report was | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
failed and a body was found. From the first time she went over | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
there she loved it and wanted to go back and spend as much time as | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
possible there and possibly move over there. Police in Memphis say | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
more details are likely to be released over the next few days. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
The hit BBC school drama Waterloo Road is moving to Scotland after | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
six years set in Lancashire town. The move could bring up to 230 jobs. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
The Scottish Government has hailed the investment as a significant | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
announcement for the media industry here. | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
This troubled Rochdale comprehensive is in for a dramatic | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
move. It's gritty storylines and troubled teachers are being brought | :10:03. | :10:12. | |
to Scotland. There are dramatic storylines. It will see as opening | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
up a new school. Some of our teachers and pupils will appear in | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
their independent school in Scotland. The search for a location | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
is under way. But won't Scotland's educational differences cause | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
problems? We do not want to focus on the difference between the | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
education systems. This is a network show for a network audience | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
and it confuses people when you start saying we can do this but not | :10:38. | :10:47. | |
that. Drama has become big business in Scotland. There was a new series | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
based on James Herriot's student days and a second series of Lip- | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
service is being filmed for BBC Three. It is said the relocation | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
could bring in around �25 million. What it will give us, even more | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
than we have got that the ban it, his credibility across the UK but | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
also internationally. We can hopefully attract more companies to | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
make Scotland their base for key Productions. This is the said of | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
home-grown soap opera of the River City. -- the set. We cannot fill | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
anything going on at the moment because the storyline is top secret. | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
But experts say the future of drama like this one in Scotland is not | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
about simply bringing the drama here to be filmed at nurturing the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
talent, the scriptwriters, so that drama can be commissioned here as | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
well as films here. Some of the other stories across | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
Scotland: A murder investigation has been launched after the death | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
of a man in Greenock last night. Police were called to a flat in | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
Neil Street just before midnight after a 49-year-old man was stabbed | :12:01. | :12:07. | |

says if you were a Scottish minister he would now be urgently | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
reviewing the conditions which allowed the Lockerbie bomber to be | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
released from prison. Abdel Basset al-Megrahi was freed from crew-neck | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
jail two years ago after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Mr | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
Hague says he would support calls from America for al-Megrahi to be | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
extradited to the US. A student at St Andrews University has been | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
found guilty of races and. Cupar Sheriff Court heard Paul Donnachie | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
called a Jewish student a terrorist. He will be sentenced next month. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
His victim, Hanan Reetblat, told the court how he had also violated | :12:46. | :12:55. | |
It's got a black tongue, a spotted tail and a hunchback, and anglers | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
in the Borders are being urged to kill it onside. -- on sight. The | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
pink salmon has been spotted in the River Tweed and is believed to be a | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
threat to our world famous Atlantic salmon stocks. Our reporter, | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
Cameron Buttle, is on the Tweed for us tonight. | :13:12. | :13:21. | |
It looks like he is halfway Intuit! -- into it. This is the Tweed, | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
people come from all over the world to fish here and not just because | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
of the stunning scenery and beautiful waters but because of a | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
very special Atlantic salmon people can catch. It is said to have been | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
a fantastic season and people have caught big fish all over the | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
borders, but concerns are growing fat underneath this fast-flowing | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
water, they could be an alien species called the pink salmon. | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
Does not sound particularly threatening, but look at this. A | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
black Tong, spotted back and tail, Hunchback, vicious teeth. And it | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
comes from warmer Pacific waters. It has colonised waters in Canada, | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
Norway, and concern in Scotland is that it is here in the Tweed. | :14:16. | :14:26. | |
:14:26. | :14:27. | ||
is strange would -- a strange is if we found two in at the Tweed. So to | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
find two in one week was quite strange and what was alarming was | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
they were mature and ready to breed, male fish, and we were concerned if | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
there were female fish, that is when a breeding population could | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
start. You have it in for this fish, white anglers are so concerned? | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
-- why it off anglers. The pink salmon cannot mate with | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
the Atlantic salmon, but this is about preserving and maintaining | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
the natural environment. The pink salmon does not belong here, the | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
Atlantic salmon does. So the message to anglers is, if you catch | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
one of these pink salmon, it is not a raffish, and do not put it back | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
in the water, it does not belong here. Eat it if you want to, but do | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
not put it back. Thank you for that. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
A Celtic fan who admitted posting racist and sectarian comments on | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
Facebook has avoided a jail sentence after writing letters of | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
apology. 20-year-old Michael Bailey, from Paisley, was caught after | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
March's Old Firm game. At Glasgow Sheriff Court, he was told to carry | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
out 300 hours of community service and banned from all UK football | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
grounds for the next two years. A Scottish network of Pilgrimage | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
Routes is being proposed to take advantage of so-called "faith | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
tourism." Places of religious significance such as Iona and | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
Whithorn are already well-known destinations. But a multi-faith | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
church group says other sites on the routes used by followers of | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
ancient saints like St Columba and St Ninian are missing out. Willie | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
:16:06. | :16:10. | ||
Johnston reports. In the footsteps of saints. Four | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
years, pilgrims have been drawn to Whithorn where St Ninian is said to | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
have founded Scotland's first Christian community. And pilgrimage | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
tourism today, the town's Minister practises what he preaches -- and | :16:24. | :16:33. | |
when it comes to pilgrimage tourism. We go up to Iona, through much of | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
north-east England, and nastier I carried out eight cycle from Iona | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
to Whithorn. Early pilgrims came for prayer, healing and sometimes | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
punishment. Medieval so this could be sent to repent at the shrine of | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
St Ninian. -- medieval singers. Now it is to do with heritage and | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
exercise. It was revived in the 1980s by an archaeological dig and | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
has been an economic boost. A bit of economic spending in the local | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
shops -- extra spending in the local shops helps them to stay | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
alive and that keeps the school life. So from a local community | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
aspect, it can mean everything. attractions are not just | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
destinations like Whithorn and Iona, but the churches and even caves | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
pilgrims used along the way. Now it is hoped to identify all the | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
ancient pilgrim routes across Scotland and mark them for use by | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
walkers and cyclists. The volume of people undertaking these journeys | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
is going on every year so I think it is right that we in Scotland | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
think seriously now of creating a proper network which has the right | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
kind of literature, infrastructure to back it up. This see Cavan is | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
where St Ninian is said to have come to pray early in the 5th | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
century -- this sea caverns. To walk here is rocky and to establish | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
a network could be tough going but potentially more rewarding. | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
That report from St Ninian's Cave. To sport now, and Dougie's got the | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
latest. Rangers' Europa League opponents NK | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
Maribor have lodged a complaint with UEFA over the eligibility of | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
Carlos Bocanegra. The American defender signed for the Ibrox club | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
last Wednesday just hours before Maribor beat Rangers 2-1 in the | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
first leg of their qualifying tie. Our senior football reporter, Chris | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
McLaughlin, has been following the story. | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
For the Slovenians NK Maribor defeated Rangers last Thursday and | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
hours before Carlos Bocanegra signed on the dotted line for | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
Rangers, beating and 11pm deadline to be eligible for the match. He | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
did not yet have a UK work permit and this is what NK Maribor of | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
protesting about and they think they have a case. UEFA have issued | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
a so get -- issued a statement saying that NK Maribor had | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
protested against the eligibility of Carlos Bocanegra and the | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
disciplinary body will deal with the protest in you course. No word | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
as yet from Rangers, but we do believe that the club is fairly | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
relaxed about the situation. Rangers have just issued a | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
statement saying, "We are extremely surprised by the complaint of NK | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
Maribor. As confirmed by the SFA, Carlos Bocanegra was deemed | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
eligible to play at a domestic level within the UEFA deadline in | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
accordance with the requirements of the UEFA Regulations." | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Well, one play he looks to be cleared and ready to play for | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
Rangers is Alejandro Bedoya. -- one player who looks. The 24 year old | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
from Florida published on his social networking site that his | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
visa application has been granted and he can't wait to play in front | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
of crowds of more than 50,000. He is expected to join his new team | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
mates in Glasgow tomorrow. Motherwell defender Steven Saunders | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
has told BBC Scotland he is determined to get back fitter and | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
stronger now that he will miss the remainder of this season with what | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
can be a career-threatening injury. The 20 year old is beginning his | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
rehabilitation after undergoing surgery for a ruptured Achilles, | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
sustained while on international duty with Scotland under-21s a | :20:09. | :20:19. | |
:20:19. | :20:21. | ||
fortnight ago. John Barnes reports. Taking his first steps back on the | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
road to recovery, Steven Saunders tells me he is coming to terms with | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
an injury which in the past has brought the careers of some to an | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
end. For me, I will come back stranger -- stronger. The doctors | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
and the physiotherapist do everything, they are good guys. I | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
was first told one month which is a worry because I am just back | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
playing in the team. The incident where it happened is still fresh. | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
heard something and I looked down and I saw, and I tried to step | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
forward and there was nothing. It was just numb and I fell on VAT and | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
knew right away. Amazingly at the age of 20, it is not the first | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
serious injury he has had. A broken kneecap, a broken leg, cartilage | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
damage, bad injuries but nothing serious. It sounds serious! If it | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
sounds it, but it is not out for months. A key is one of a number of | :21:22. | :21:31. | |
injured players this season. He is not alone it. It seems like there | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
are a lot of bad injuries and that is unlucky for a lot of players. | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
all seems to happen at once, you cannot blame the pitch got anything. | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
It is all about being patient now for the young defender as he begins | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
the long road back to fitness. Fraser Foster says there is no sign | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
of panic at Celtic, despite some poor results recently. Celtic go | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
into Thursday's Europa League match against FC Sion on the back of a | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
home league defeat to St Johnstone at the weekend. Celtic need to | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
score in Switzerland after a nil- nil home draw. But their number one | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
doesn't see what all the fuss is about. | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
That is not a bad result after one game. If we go and score a goal, | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
the pressure is on, so I do not think we are under too much | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
pressure, to be honest. If we get an away goal, the game is well in | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
our hands. And you can hear live updates of | :22:24. | :22:26. | |

A documentary celebrating the life and music of Gerry Rafferty will be | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
broadcast on BBC Scotland next week. The singer-songwriter from Paisley | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
died earlier this year, aged 63. There is no shortage of well known | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
musicians and performers who pay tribute to him in this special | :22:47. | :22:57. | |
:22:57. | :23:03. | ||
programme. Aileen Clarke has had a Baker Street, Gerry Rafferty's big | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
hit from 1978 with the word for that amazing saxophone solos. -- a | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
revered for that amazing. And contrary to rumour, those notes | :23:15. | :23:23. | |
were all his own work. In if has prevailed that the saxophone player | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
wrote a line it -- a knife has prevailed. And that he was not | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
given full credit. I bet you he wrote every note of that so low | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
because that is what he was like. It was in the early days when he | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
played the electric guitar himself. Back in the 1960s and into the | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
:23:53. | :23:54. | ||
early 1970s, he hooked up with Billy Connolly in a group. We wore | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
jackets and cowboy boots and believe was thrashing away at a | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
banjo like a man possessed! I was just a guy who new tunes and | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
Kikuyus songs, and still am, but he was a musician and I will never be | :24:09. | :24:18. | |
one of them. And remember this, another big Gerry Rafferty hit. You | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
are quite right, that does not look quite hymn-singing, it is his band | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
made mining to the vocal after Gerry Rafferty quit. That was my | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
first taste of the nature of the music industry as a beast. In the | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
late 1980s, he was demonstrating his gift as a producer and friend | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
Billy Connolly says he will remember his wit as well as his | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
talent. I was text think melodies - - I was doing the melodies and | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
things and he was laughing, we laughed right until the end! | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
And you can see more on that programme on BBC Two Scotland next | :25:02. | :25:05. | |

summary of tonight's top stories. Rebel fighters in the Libyan | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
capital, Tripoli, have entered the compound housing the headquarters | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
of Colonel Gaddafi. It is unclear whether the Libyan leader is still | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
inside the huge fortified complex which has been the scene of fierce | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
fighting throughout the day. Lothian and Borders Police have | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
apologised to the family of a Chinese delivery driver killed in | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
Edinburgh last year by a gang of youths. | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
Simon San's relatives believed his death had been racially motivated, | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
but this wasn't investigated by the police. Today, the force admitted | :27:51. | :28:01. | |

the family had not received the service they deserved. | :28:04. | :28:07. | |

made against the former head of the International Monetary Fund, | :28:10. | :28:12. | |

Kahn did have a sexual encounter with the hotel chambermaid who | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
accused him, but he said it was consensual. The prosecution said | :28:18. | :28:19. | |
