The leader of Aberdeen Council has spoken for the first time | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
since the conviction of a 16-year-old boy for the killing | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
Jenny Laing says an independent review that's been set up | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
into the circumstances surrounding the death of Bailey Gwynne | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
at Cults Academy will be important for his family. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Stabbed to death at Cults Academy in Aberdeen last October. | :00:25. | :00:37. | |
Immediately afterwards, an independent review was promised. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
It has been announced today that Andrew Lowe will head the review. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
He has a background in social work and mental health care. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
One question for him perhaps is why the headteacher of Cults Academy | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
told the trial that the boy who killed Bailey Gwynne | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
had been warned about the dangers of carrying knives. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Yet in a statement at the end of the trial the council said | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
teachers were not aware he was carrying weapons into school. | :00:58. | :01:07. | |
Aberdeen's leader Jenny Laing did not want to talk to us earlier | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
but later gave us an interview. | :01:11. | :01:11. | |
If it is found that evidence that the boy who was found guilty | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
if it is found there were warning signs in the past, | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
as BBC Scotland has found, but they were ignored, | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
I do not want to pre-empt any outcome from the independent review, | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
Because I think that is very important for Bailey and his family, | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
that we await the independent review. I am sure that Andrew Lowe | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
is an excellent chair, he will make sure the heads of terms cover all | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
areas necessary and I wouldn't want to pre-empt the findings of that and | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
I would like to wait and see what they are and we will obviously take | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
the appropriate action based on the findings we have. But if that | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
appropriate action amounts to carpeting somebody over ignoring | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
warning signs... Thank you for your time, I feel I have answered what | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
needs to be answers today, we are in the position of an independent | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
review and we need to let that take its course. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
The review will cover difficult ground | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
but that will not deter the man in charge. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
I am aware of the sensitivity of these matters | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Putting those things together means I will inevitably be looking | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
at a range of factors that have bearing on the events | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
That is my overall brief and that is what I will do. | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
If it means going back further in time, that will also happen. | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
This review is expected to be concluded by September. | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
The First Minister has told BBC Scotland that increasing the | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
top rate of income tax in Scotland could end up cutting the cash raised | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
That's because she says top earners could shift their money elsewhere | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
The warning comes on the eve of the SNP conference in Glasgow. | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
Our political editor Brian Taylor reports. | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
Very big choices indeed that the parties, I am here at the venue for | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
the SNP conference. From next year, Scotland will have control of all | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
income tax rates and bands and it is concentrating minds. Nicola Sturgeon | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
already said no to increasing the basic standard rate of income tax | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
but what about the top rate, the 45p rate by those earning over ?150,000. | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
Labour say they would increase it to 50p. Nicola Sturgeon was pretty cool | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
about it and said it could end up costing Scotland money. That is a | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
about it and said it could end up judgment we have to make, there are | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
less than 20,000 people in Scotland who pay the higher rate of income | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
tax. These are some of the most mobile people in the country and it | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
wouldn't take many of them to shift the income out of Scotland and for | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
us to not make money out of that but lose revenue. There are other | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
options, it is thought that next week the Chancellor in his budget | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
will push up the threshold at which people enter the 40p tax rate, in | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
effect meaning you have to learn a fair bit more before you go into the | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
upper rate and in effect, a bit of a tax cut on those who have middle and | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
high earnings. Nicola Sturgeon could say that the Scotland, if they have | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
the power, they will not implement that and keep the threshold as it | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
is. She confirmed it is an option they are looking at. I have George | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
Osborne is sensible now. I am not hugely hopeful about that but I hope | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
he sees this is not a time for significant tax cuts for the better | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
off in society. But I believe that is the case so we will wait and see | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
what comes in the budget and we will base our decisions once we know what | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
what comes in the budget and we will happens in the budget. And without | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
telling me the outcome, you will have the option of reversing that | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
tax cut? Of not doing that, of course we will have the option, as | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
we will have a range of options around income tax. We had two days | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
of the SNP conference to come, the focus next weeks ships to Labour, | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
with their spring conference. They had the main event pushed back to | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
November, this one is a bit ad hoc but one name that will not be | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
featuring is Jeremy Corbyn, he will not be attending, it is said to be a | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
time question but there are also indications that Labour want to keep | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
the focus on Kezia Dugdale, the Scottish leader. | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
The father of a climber who's been missing on Ben Nevis for almost | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
a month has spoken of his family's heartache. | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
Tim Newton and his girlfriend Rachel Slater failed to return | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
from a climbing trip on the Valentine's Day weekend. | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
It was on a weekend in February when Rachel Slater and Tim Newton | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
But the Bradford couple failed to return from their outing | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
Today, Tim Newton's father described the moment he got the news. | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
I had a phone call from the police at Fort William, | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
saying that Rachel had been reported missing | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Because 50 years ago, my sister was killed | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
And I remember it all coming back to me. | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
And we had to wait because it was in Yugoslavia. | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
It was a Communist country that time. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
It is like having to wait all over again. | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
I think the agony, for me, was the thought that they might be | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
alive, but absolutely buried | :07:06. | :07:06. | |
And how could I cope with my child suffering like that? | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
Rachel and Tim were reported missing on Monday the 15th of February. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
It is thought they were caught in an avalanche. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
They knew the risks but, Mr Newton said, | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
He said they would never be forgotten. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
They were so young and enthusiastic, | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
full of life, with everything in front of them. | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
Football and there was one match in the Scottish Premiership tonight. | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
Motherwell came from behind to beat Dundee United 2-1 and severely dent | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
the Tayside club's hopes of top flight survival. | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Let's get the weather outlook for the weekend now, | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
Thank you very much. Good evening. A fairly cloudy and damp conditions | :08:01. | :08:12. | |
across the country this evening and those conditions lasting into | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
tomorrow. It was a fairly cloudy day but a lovely picture from one of our | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
weather watchers. Over the next 24 hours, low pressure in the Atlantic, | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
high pressure towards Scandinavia and in between, the south-westerly | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
flow bringing cloudy, damp but mild conditions. Most of the heavy rain | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
tomorrow in the West but there will be some outbreaks of rain further | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
eased and that wet weather is stretching south in towards Northern | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Ireland and the far north-west of England. Most of England and Wales, | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
largely dry and bright, spells of sunshine but fairly persistent fog | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
in the at first. For us, through Saturday morning, cloudy and damp | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
with the rain slowly working its way ever eastwards with the winds from | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
the cerebral south-west, fresh, occasionally strong around the | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
coast. -- from the cerebral south-west. Cloudy and dump the | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
northern half of the UK but further south, dry with some brightness | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
coming through -- cloudy and damp. As we head through the afternoon | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
coming through -- cloudy and damp. into the evening, some brightness | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
around the Inverness area, Northern Aberdeenshire and overnight into | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Sunday, a lot of the rain clears away and Sunday is a very different | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
day all due to high pressure. Dry and brighter across the north-east, | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
still if you outbreaks of rain up and brighter across the north-east, | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
towards the Northern Isles through the afternoon but most areas dry and | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
where we do get the sun low to mid teens is possible. Most areas double | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
digits. High pressure bringing this condition stays through next week, a | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
lot of dry unsettled weather around, some cloud and sunshine for the best | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
of which is likely in the West and the potential for some hard | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
developing around the east coast. From everyone on the late team | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
here in Glasgow | :09:56. | :10:00. |
