In his closing speech, Alex Prentice QC asked

the jury to convict Rachel and Nyomi Fee of murder.

The prosecutor described Liam Fee as defenceless and vulnerable.

Alex Prentice QC said that Rachel and Naomi Fee

signed up to a course of cruel treatment towards the toddler and

their treatment of Liam shortly before he died had escalated to such

an extent that it was obvious life might be taken.

He said there was evidence the couple had failed to get

treatment for Liam when they knew they had sustained serious injuries,

including a fractured arm and broken leg,

that would have left him in excruciating pain.

He said instead of getting help, there was evidence

that their phones have been used to Google what happens if a broken

leg is left untreated, or, can you die of a broken leg?

He said if you suspect your two-and-a-half-year-old child

has a broken leg, you would get help,

there is nothing else that decent human being or a

death by strangling and suffocation by another child.

He said it was murder because of a violent act

committed with a wicked indifference to whether Liam lived or died.

The recovery operation is now well underway in Fernhill Road. The

details of how others crash happened are still emerging. We know that a

trailer and a car crashed here just after 11am today. One eyewitness

Police Scotland say they're constantly reviewing

their response to the risk of a major terrorist attack.

In the second of our special reports, Cameron Buttle has been

given access to Scotland's counter-terrorist unit.

This is where the specialist firearms officers for Police

Today they are staging a major exercise to do with

There will be some form of explosives detonated to signal

the specialist unit will have to go in and deal

with that marauding attack, which is similar

to what we have seen in Paris and Brussels.

We can't show you exactly how this counterterror unit operates.

The unit has contained the threat, cornered the terrorists.

Now it moves into the final confrontation.

This exercise used different levels of firearms officer.

They can't be identified for security reasons.

This scenario was that terrorists had taken over the building and well

armed. We moved in as firearms police and neutralise the threat,

taking the building. Standard procedure.

The training reflects recent terror attacks in Europe.

The national response to a major incident is under

constant review to combat the ever-changing terror threat.

Now, back in 1966, the Church of Scotland took a ground-breaking

decision to allow women to be ordained as elders.

Two years later, they were welcomed in as ministers.

Elizabeth Quigley has been looking at how the Church of Scotland has

welcomed women into leadership roles.

Isabel Montgomerie might seem an unlikely revolutionary.

Working on a farm in Ayrshire, she was one of the

first women to be ordained as an elder.

Some people thought I'm a bit of a revolutionary, can I say that?

And I always had, no revolutionary, more a pioneer.

And in 2004, for the very first time, the Kirk's top job

And they have watched a changing church.

I think the Church of Scotland was ahead of

When I was thinking about it I realised

that the famous book by Germaine Greer,

The Female Eunuch, which kicked off the normalisation of feminism,

and the fact that the Church of Scotland took this

decision four years before is very much to its credit.

The church has always had women elders as long

And ordaining female elders unlocked the door to women ministers.

It's unimaginable now to have a church without women elders and

women ministers, I think it unimaginable, I can't imagine being

part of the Church of Scotland, it would be a very alien place.

good evening. It has been a dry day across the majority of Scotland. We

have seen sunshine in the West and north-west. Here is where we hold

onto the clearest skies tonight. Elsewhere, a cloudy prospect and

that is how we start tomorrow morning. Around eight o'clock,

fairly cloudy skies across much of southern, central and eastern

Scotland. Some brightness breaking through at times. The best of the

sunshine across the Argyll area, and the southern end of the Outer

Hebrides. Across the North, the North East and the Northern Isles, a

cloudy prospects and brisk north-easterly winds making it a

chilly feel. Across the rest of the UK, it largely cloudy prospects. And

a batch of rain pushing in through much of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and

the North Midlands and perhaps the Suffolk area come tomorrow

afternoon. Temperature is a good five or six degrees cooler than they

have been today. The best of the sunshine arounds the West in

Scotland. And cooler in the coastal areas with the breeze of the sea. In

the evening, dry weather with sunshine around. Towards dusk, we

see this batch of rain pushing into the south-east which makes inroads

through parts of central Scotland. It also affects parts of Northern

Ireland, more than England and northern Wales, but to the north and

south of these areas, in a lot of dry, bright areas with sunshine. And

warming up. For Friday, high pressure very much dominating

proceedings. For us in Scotland, it is looking like a dry day, with

brightness and sunshine around in the West. Highs of 17 or 18 Celsius.
