for the patients of the future. That's all from us. Now on BBC One

An Edinburgh woman who is charged with murdering her

:00:07.:00:09.

three-year-old son has made her first public court appearance.

:00:10.:00:12.

34-year-old Rosdeep Adekoya has been accused of beating Mikaeel Kular on

:00:13.:00:17.

various occasions over a four-day period and then murdering him.

in and married name. This was her first public appearance in court

:00:22.:00:39.

since she was charged with her son Mikaeel's murder. On the 16th of

:00:40.:00:44.

January, Mrs Adekoya had called the police and reported her little boy

:00:45.:00:48.

missing, saying she thought he had climbed onto a stool and unlock the

:00:49.:00:51.

front door of her Edinburgh flat. The Crown says she did this knowing

:00:52.:00:56.

he was already dead. These were the pictures of hundreds of Mikaeel's

:00:57.:01:00.

neighbours, members of the public, police and coastguards who searched

:01:01.:01:08.

for the three-year-old. Then the news that was dreaded. Mikaeel's

:01:09.:01:13.

body had been found 25 miles away in a woodland near Kirkcaldy, near a

:01:14.:01:16.

house Mikaeel had lived in with his family months before. I can confirm

:01:17.:01:21.

that we have recovered the body of a young boy in Fife, shortly before

:01:22.:01:27.

midnight. 34-year-old Rosdeep Adekoya stood in the dock dressed

:01:28.:01:33.

all in black. She showed no emotion and she did not say anything during

:01:34.:01:38.

the hearing, which lasted just three minutes. She had entered no plea.

:01:39.:01:43.

She was taken back to custody. In documents lodged with the court, Mrs

:01:44.:01:46.

Adekoya is accused of hitting her son over the head and body, hitting

:01:47.:01:51.

his body against a hard object, and causing blunt force injuries to his

:01:52.:01:55.

head and body in the family home between the two other 15th of

:01:56.:01:58.

January. She is accused of failing to seek medical attention for

:01:59.:02:05.

Mikaeel and of murdering him. She is also accused of attempting to defeat

:02:06.:02:08.

the ends of justice by wrapping Mikaeel's body in a duvet, putting

:02:09.:02:13.

him in a suitcase and then into the boot of her car, and then driving to

:02:14.:02:18.

Kirkcaldy. Mrs Adekoya is then said to have hidden the suitcase under a

:02:19.:02:21.

bush in wetland behind the home in Fife. The case is being continued,

:02:22.:02:25.

and there will be a further hearing here at the High Court in Edinburgh

:02:26.:02:27.

on the 25th of July. MPs are calling

:02:28.:02:30.

for a public inquiry into concerns commercial pressure from oil

:02:31.:02:32.

and gas companies is putting The Commons transport select

:02:33.:02:34.

committee launched an inquiry following last year's

:02:35.:02:38.

fatal crash off Shetland. In all 20 people have been killed

:02:39.:02:42.

in offshore helicopter accidents And survived the Super Puma L2 crash

off Shetland last August. Four of his colleagues died. He is still

coping with the after-effects. I don't have a broken leg or a broken

:03:06.:03:09.

back or anything like that. I have very subtle injuries. I have had a

:03:10.:03:12.

constant headache since the accident. I get migraines anything

:03:13.:03:17.

up to three times per week, which cannot me out for about four days.

:03:18.:03:23.

It was the Shetland crash that spot the enquiry by MPs. 20 people in all

:03:24.:03:27.

have died in offshore helicopter accidents since 20 people in all

have died in offshore helicopter accidents wants a full public

:03:31.:03:35.

enquiry to investigate if commercial pressure is putting lives at risk.

:03:36.:03:40.

Do the oil and gas companies have power that has led to cost-cutting

:03:41.:03:44.

in safety measures? Has there been another enforcement of safety

:03:45.:03:48.

regulations? Is there an openness that workers can express their

:03:49.:03:51.

concerns if they feel things are not being done correctly? There are

:03:52.:03:56.

around 100 light into the North Sea and Shetland every day, but oil and

:03:57.:04:00.

gas companies deny helicopter operators are put under unsafe

:04:01.:04:05.

pressure to make things work. If the government corporate public enquiry,

:04:06.:04:08.

we will support it, and we would get intimately involved with that

:04:09.:04:12.

process. But it is not something the oil and gas industry with support

:04:13.:04:16.

unless it was ordered? We are not asking for it, but we will support

:04:17.:04:20.

it if required. You don't think it is necessary? I didn't say that, I

:04:21.:04:24.

said we would support it if there was evidence that we needed to.

:04:25.:04:29.

Unions and relatives of those killed in the helicopter crashes have long

:04:30.:04:33.

supported a public enquiry. The UK Government says it will look at the

:04:34.:04:37.

committee's report. James Nugent says he might return offshore one

:04:38.:04:39.

day, if he feels it is safe will. Scotland's first satellite has been

:04:40.:04:44.

launched from a space centre UKube-One was built by

:04:45.:04:46.

a Glasgow-based company. It's already in orbit and it's due

:04:47.:04:49.

to separate from its Russian rocket Here's our science correspondent

:04:50.:04:54.

Kenneth Macdonald. Not quite Mission control Marielle,

:04:55.:05:06.

but even without live pictures from the cosmodrome, it felt a lot like

:05:07.:05:13.

it. I have confirmation that the satellite has launched. It is the

:05:14.:05:16.

first satellite that has been fully designed and built in Scotland, so

:05:17.:05:19.

it is a big step forward from that perspective. The other benefit of it

:05:20.:05:23.

is, it is a different type of satellite, a more off the shelf type

:05:24.:05:30.

of satellite. UKube-1 is the most advanced satellite of its kind in

:05:31.:05:34.

the world, small, but it packs in six experiment into just three

:05:35.:05:38.

metres. It will help to study things like space weather and satellite

:05:39.:05:41.

security, and give schoolchildren the chance to contact the satellite.

:05:42.:05:46.

More than that, it is blazing a trail for the Scottish space

:05:47.:05:49.

industry. The buzz has already been good for business. Today's rocket

:05:50.:05:56.

was an updated version of the one that once carried Soviet, cosmonauts

:05:57.:06:03.

into orbit. The world's first satellite and the first man in space

:06:04.:06:07.

both lifted off from the same place. Today, it was Scotland's turn.

:06:08.:06:11.

Well, it's over to Sarah Cruickshank now with the weather outlook

:06:12.:06:13.

Thank you very much. Good evening to you. It looks to stay dry through

:06:14.:06:25.

the overnight period, although it will turn fairly misty and murky

:06:26.:06:29.

across eastern parts, and that is how we start tomorrow. A lot of dry

:06:30.:06:32.

weather around, Clinton is something brighter, but also ploughed along

:06:33.:06:36.

the east coast. Towards the south-west, a dry start, and we will

:06:37.:06:40.

see the mist gradually burning back towards the east coast during the

:06:41.:06:43.

day tomorrow. We could seasoning brighter coming through, but overall

:06:44.:06:47.

Orkney and Shetland, it stays rather murky. Outbreaks of rain over

:06:48.:06:50.

Shetland through much of the day. In the north-west Highlands, a fairly

:06:51.:06:53.

dry start and also some brightness as well. That's how it stays across

:06:54.:06:57.

western Scotland through the rest of the day. Plenty of sunshine around

:06:58.:07:01.

across the Western Isles, and down towards the central belt and the

:07:02.:07:04.

south-west. Plenty of sunshine lifting the temperature tomorrow to

:07:05.:07:07.

around 22 Celsius for some parts, but there the East, it will be a

:07:08.:07:11.

touch cooler, especially around the coasts, just 17 Celsius for some

:07:12.:07:16.

places. Across Orkney and Shetland, cooler still, 13 or 14 at best, but

:07:17.:07:19.

in the sunshine, it will feel lovely, and it looks to be a lovely

:07:20.:07:21.

day for many of us. Thanks, Sarah.

:07:22.:07:23.

And that's Reporting Scotland. Our next update is during

:07:24.:07:25.

Breakfast Time at 6:25 But, from everyone

:07:26.:07:27.

on the late team here in Glasgow through the next few days into the

:07:28.:07:33.

weekend. Hot on Saturday with thundery showers.

:07:34.:07:36.

Good evening, the rain in Rio is matching the mood, I suspect, this

:07:37.:07:42.

evening. Here, we will take a day off from the rain tomorrow, at least

:07:43.:07:46.

most of us. There
