The former owner of Rangers, Craig Whyte, is now the only person

facing fraud charges in connection with his involvement with the club.

He appeared alone in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow

All the men who were originally charged with him have now had

Inside the High Court today, Craig Whyte sat by and self in the dock,

the only man now facing fraud charges for his time at Rangers. How

does it feel to be the only man left in the dock on these charges?

Outside, his thoughts on that he kept to himself. The Crown told the

court that charges have been dropped against Gary Whitty, David Greer,

David Whitehouse and Paul Clark. However, in relation to Charles

Greer and Imran Amit, the prosecution said they may consider

raising further charges against them in future. David Whitehouse and Paul

Clark both came to court today to hear for themselves the charges

against them being dropped. Mr Clarke, how do you feel that when

today? You must be relieved. In 2012 had been appointed as joint

administrators of Rangers food or club. Two years later as they were

arrested, held in a police cell for the weekend, and taken to court. A

statement was issued on their behalf the weekend, and taken to court. A

this afternoon by the solicitors. The judge, Lord Valentine, told the

defence advocate that as there is only one man sitting in the dock,

the next time Craig Whyte appeared in court he wanted to set a date for

trial, and to do that he needed to know how the defence intended to

argue their case and how long they believed that the case. That next

appearance will be here at the High Court in Glasgow at the end of July.

The murder of toddler Liam Fee has highlighted issues of concern

Today the Education Secretary said there would still be "atrocious

incidents" of child abuse but lessons must

John Swinney was speaking at a child protection summit in Perth,

where he challenged experts to ensure they got things correct.

The case of a little boiling and large over these social work

expects. They were not meeting because of Liam Fee's murder, but

his tragic story focused minds on trying to improve child protection.

There will be atrocious incidents perpetrated, thankfully very, very

rarely in our society, and we have to learn lessons from those

incidents when they happen to help avoid them happening ever again.

This week has seen intensive scrutiny of child protection and the

government's named person policy, as an expert review into Liam's death

gets underway. What named person is about is providing a contact point

for every child in Scotland, every family, so that when they face

difficulties they are able to rely on early and swift access to public

services to address those issues. Promising plenty of support, John

Swinney challenged experts to ask, have we got this correct? After a

difficult week. Social work practitioners feel horror at what

happened to Liam, and there is determination that they have to be

better and learn from this, what more they can do to support families

and children likely. In the dark auditorium, a glimmer of hope from

one young man with a troubled childhood, who turned his life

around to become a successful actor. When I'm in schools and in

communities, what I am seeing is real change in the people that are

coming from the backgrounds of poverty and deprivation. I can see

the actual change in the people. Social workers and government

ministers also that tragic incidents will still happen in society, but we

must still try to have the best child protection laws possible.

Unfortunately for the delegates at the conference here today, they are

having to learn lessons from some very sad cases.

Doctors say more people might survive devastating infections

and heart attacks if Scotland had more ECMO machines.

They take over the work of the lungs, oxygenating the blood

Specialists at a medical conference in Glasgow today were told that

Scottish patients often have to be sent to England or even abroad.

Brian and his wife enjoy every moment of life, but they know how

easily it can end. We were on holiday and the last day was feeling

extremely unwell, and it turned out it a massive heart attack. Brian was

rushed to hospital on the mainland. It is known as the crash and burn

situation. His heart was not pumping, he had crashed, and was

burning. Brian was put on a special device, and ECMO machine, to keep

them alive. It was vital he would get fit enough to undergo a heart

transplant, and it came to the point where the doctors thought, this is

not happening, so they introduced palliative care. Medical opinion was

that Brian was going to die, but then something remarkable happened.

I could see in Brian he was going to live. And that was the point when I

said, we're going to get married. They got married in intensive care.

And it was the best thing he were dead, because following that, his

And it was the best thing he were kidneys recovered, in fact,

everything went back to normal except his heart. He had a broken

heart. Love conquers all, almost all. His heart was the one thing he

couldn't fix. Within five weeks he had a heart transplant. And there

was hope, you know's and there would not have been hope if the machines

had not exist they had not decided to use the machines. And this is why

it is so important to have the machines, and this is why the

conference is such a great thing as well. There is nothing like these

devices, devices that transform a fatal situation into a potential

recovery. It is too enough years since the transplant. It is

fantastic to be still alive. Life is there to be treasured.

Now let's get the weekend weather with Kirsteen.

It's looking very good. Good evening. It has been another

beautiful day across the West of Scotland with some clear blue skies

around. Thank you to Ian for sending this picture. Blue skies are not far

off the mark as far as we can weather is concerned. Tonight will

be mostly dry, some cloud for central and southern Scotland, a few

showers. The clear skies will be across the North, some lovely

conditions to start the day. Cloud in central and southern Scotland, a

few showers, the showers will die out and the cloud will melt away

over the morning. Tomorrow afternoon, plenty of sunshine across

Scotland. Temperatures widely around 16-20 Celsius, perhaps peaking in

parts of Argyll and the north-west 16-20 Celsius, perhaps peaking in

Highlands at 23 or 24 Celsius. The warmth could trigger the odd

isolated shower here. Across the northern isles on the Murray Coast,

we will see more in the way of cloud, and with the breeze coming in

from the North Sea will feel chillier once again. The UK as a

whole summer after a damp and miserable start across much of

eastern England, it is an improving picture with bright sunny spells and

eastern England, it is an improving warming up. More cloud in the

south-west but there will be some bright spells. Feeling chilly on the

east coast with wins coming in from the North Sea. For the evening

across Scotland, the showers die out and it is a fine, sunny and warm end

to the day. Sunday is looking dry across-the-board giver take a few

isolated showers for western areas. Again prompted by the heat. We could

quite easily reach 25 Celsius in the south-east and the West of Scotland.
