More than 30 million images depicting child sexual abuse | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
have been uncovered in a massive Police Scotland investigation. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Children as young as three are among more than 500 young people | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
identified as victims or potential victims | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
of online sexual abuse. Police say it's a growing problem. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
Our correspondent Lucy Adams reports. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
Police Scotland say there is a massive increase | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
These individuals want to be wherever children are, | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
so they are using websites, forums, chat rooms | :00:50. | :00:50. | |
These men, predominantly, are using the profiles of children, | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
pretending to be children effectively to communicate | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
with younger children, to groom them online, | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
In an unprecedented six-week operation earlier this summer, | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
523 child victims were identified, and more than 30 million indecent | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
and child sexual abuse images were recovered, and there were 392 | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
charges, including rape, sexual extortion and grooming. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
This is children being sexually abused, the images being shared, | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
real victims in Scotland and elsewhere, and it is about these | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
horrific acts that ruin peoples lives, and we need to make | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
One computer alone led to the recovery | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
Police say it will take four full-time officers six | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
Another suspect had communicated with more than 110 children. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
As well as cracking down on crime online, police are keen to prevent | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
online abuse from happening in the first place. | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
These young people in Clydebank are learning how | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Many have been victims of cyber bullying. | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
It is the side of the internet you do not know if it is | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
going to stop, it did, but then it did not too long ago. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
But the best thing I done was actually talk to someone. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
I think it has went to that stage where no-one knows how | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
to cope with it sometimes, whereas we have got groups like this | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
that you can come to and talk with them, it is not | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
like they are not going to help you a lot. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Reputation, safety, responsibility... | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Police say the scale of the problem is far higher | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
They are warning parents and children to be vigilant. | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
Two batches of cheese are being recalled by a manufacturer | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
in Lanarkshire, after 16 people contracted E-coli. | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
Two batches of Dunsyre Blue Cheese are possibly affected, | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
according to Food Standards Scotland. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
The manufacturer has recalled the cheese as a precaution | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
and said no confirmed link had been shown. | :03:23. | :03:34. | |
As a responsible company we took the voluntary decision last night to | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
recall two batches of cheese which we were concerned about, and we have | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
done that, so at the moment we are doing a lot of testing ourselves and | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
investigation to see whether there is in fact any evidence of a | :03:53. | :03:53. | |
connection. RBS may have to raise more capital | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
after a Europe-wide stress test The test found that RBS, which is | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
73% owned by British taxpayers had the one of the worst responses | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
to a series of adverse scenarios, The Scottish Government plan to cut | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
air passenger duty could force other taxes to rise to fill a hole | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
in the budget. That's according to some of those | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
who have responded to But others say reducing the cost | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
of flights will bring more visitors | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
to Scotland and boost the economy. Here's our business | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
correspondent David Henderson. Anyone flying in and out of Scottish | :04:28. | :04:40. | |
airports has toupee Air Passenger Duty on top of the price of the | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
flight. It is a UK tax on flying and set at different rates were just -- | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
different journeys. If you're flying short-haul to Europe and who travel | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
economy class, you pay an extra ?13. But a passenger on a long-haul | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
flight pays far more, at least ?73 and double that if you travel | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
business class. The Scottish Government wants to cut VAT tax in | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
half. -- at that tax in half. It is the busiest time of year | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
at Scotland's airports as holiday-makers head for the sun, | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
but they are paying As Holyrood gains new powers, | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
air passenger duty will come under the control | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
of the Scottish Government, and ministers here | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
wants to cut that tax and make it cheaper to fly | :05:24. | :05:24. | |
to and from Scotland. Some business leaders | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
say it is a good plan. The case is very clear | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
for a reduction in APD. We have one of the highest rates | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
in the world, and a signal to reduce that rate in Scotland would send out | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
a massive boost to business in Scotland and send out a signal | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
to the rest of the world Environmental groups | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
say if more people fly, there will be more greenhouse gas | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
and harm to the environment. And some are sceptical that this tax | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
cut would boost the economy. We are not sure, for example, | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
that if APD were cut, that the revenues that the Scottish | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Government might make from any increase in economic activity | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
would compensate for the loss from air passenger duty, | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
and then the consequence of that might be that other taxes | :06:17. | :06:17. | |
would have to be raised. That looks like a gamble | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
the Scottish Government is prepared to take as it bids to boost | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
Scotland's links So there is no agreement on whether | :06:25. | :06:38. | |
Air Passenger Duty should be cut, what ministers at Holyrood say that | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
they will push ahead with their plans for a replacement. For those | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
of you making travel plans, the new tax is set to take effect in April | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
2000 and 18. We are told that within three years the tax will be cut by | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
50%, and the government wants to abolish the tax entirely when public | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
finances allow. Workers on seven Shell installations | :07:01. | :07:01. | |
involved in a dispute with their employer, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
the Wood Group, have announced This week, members of the Unite | :07:05. | :07:05. | |
and RMT unions staged the first strike in the North Sea for nearly | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
30 years in response to a long-running row over pay | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
and working patterns. The next strike will begin | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
on Thursday morning. The John Muir Trust has conceded | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
defeat in its legal battle with the Scottish Government and SSE | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
over plans for The Trust successfully stopped | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
the Stronelairg development near Fort Augustus in a judicial | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
review at the Court of Session. But last week that decision | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
was overturned Today, the Trust said | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
after considering all the options, they had reached the end of the road | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
with their legal action. Well, it's over to Judith now for | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
the weekend weather forecast. Thank you very much, Sally. It was a | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
beautiful end to the day across parts of southern Scotland. And here | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
is a picture from one of our Weather Watchers. Any showers will become | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
confined to the north tonight, and you will see clearing skies pretty | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
much across the country. First thing tomorrow, largely dry and bright to | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
start with in Central, southern and eastern Scotland in particular. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Showers across the north-west as we had through the course of the | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
morning. Some cloud bubbling up and those showers becoming more | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
widespread, but in saying that, if you catch a shower it should pass | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
quickly so there will be lots of dry, bright weather in between times | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
as well. As for the rest of the UK, Northern Ireland seeing some | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
showers, western parts seeing some showers by the middle of the day and | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
as we head through the afternoon, showers becoming widespread across | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
England and Wales. Still lots of dry, bright weather in the forecast. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
In Scotland, we should see highs of around 19 Celsius in Edinburgh, Fife | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
and Perthshire. Always cooler in the north with a fresh north-westerly | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
wind. It looks like brightening up for the Northern Isles, too. Then | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
those showers will become confined to northern parts as we head into | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
Saturday night and it will feel cold, with long, clear spells and | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
showers continuing in the north. Those showers linked to low pressure | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
to the north of us. And that cold, north-westerly airflow as well. | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
Showers for the North and pushing into the West on Sunday, still lots | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
of dry weather as we head through the day in southern and eastern | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Scotland. On Monday, high pressure builds, were still some showers in | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
the far north. And that is your weather forecast. | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
