New figures identify the country's haves and have nots. | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
The First Minister gathers a panel of international experts | :00:24. | :00:39. | |
to advise her on improving education for children | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
The child protection team which dealt with murdered toddler | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Liam Fee was dysfunctional and divided, a hearing | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
It's just eight miles from Ferguslie Park in Paisley | :00:50. | :01:03. | |
to the Whitecraigs area south of Glasgow, in East Renfrewshire. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Ferguslie Park is officially the most deprived area in Scotland, | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
while Whitecraigs is at the other end of the scale - | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
The Government figures published today reveal a complex picture | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Our social affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson is here to explain. | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
The first question to ask is, what is deprivation? | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
It's more than just being poor or on a low income. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation looks | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
There are the obvious ones like income, employment | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
and education, including the number of people going onto | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
But it also examines health, housing, including the number | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
of homes with central heating, crime levels and access to services | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
such as post offices and transport links. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
For the second successive time, Ferguslie Park officially | :01:50. | :01:50. | |
has the greatest level of deprivation in Scotland. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
It is second worst in Scotland for health outcomes | :01:54. | :01:54. | |
And the area is sixth worst for income and employment levels. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
It's something the local council is already trying to address. | :02:00. | :02:20. | |
It is one of 50 projcts operated by the council to tackle deprivation. | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
Children get the best start in live life and their mothers can access | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
financial housing and benefits advice. I have help from every | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
aspect, talking about tax, benefit, talking about work. I used to think | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
thing things, they don't work, and for people on benefits. It is no, it | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
is to get people out. 240 families have received support from the | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
scheme, organisers say it is successful because it is local. I | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
think the local focus is key, services that are Renfrewshire wide, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
people for some reason don't access them. With the school at the centre | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
means people access financial advice, housing advice, employment | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
advice as well as their positive experiences for the children. This | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
is part of a six million poverty fund. Too late to influence these | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
years figures but it believes a significant attempt. | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
This is not ever going to be an overnight | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
It's in Ferguslie Park and other parts of Scotland. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
This investment is for the long-term. | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
It's from the early years, the youngest in our | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
It's about providing support for families. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
Deprivation is measured by seven different | :03:51. | :03:51. | |
Ferguslie Park is second worst in Scotland | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
Its sixth worst for income and employment levels. | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
These figures come as research shows that | :04:03. | :04:03. | |
people in deprived backgrounds pay more for services and utilities. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
It is important we have a inclusive growth so we pay attention the thing | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
that all things being equal don't benefit from expansion in the | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
economy and make concerted efforts to tackle the barriers of those | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
places face. The index is published as research | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
shows people from deprived backgrounds are paying a premium for | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
being poor, with utilities and services costing them more. We found | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
the premium exacerbates the effects felt by people living at or near the | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
poverty line, there is big instances of cutting back on expenditure and | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
food worryingly. There are plans to boost employment | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
in Ferguslie Park with a new sports complex and Paisley's bid for City | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
of Culture status. This measure of deprivation, | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
last published four years ago, will be used by Government and local | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
authorities to target resources Ministers admit they show tackling | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
deprivation is "a significant The Prime Minister has been meeting | :04:59. | :05:16. | |
the cab not at her official retreat. A statement after the meeting says | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
while there is a commitment to the devolved nations to make sure Brexit | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
works for all the timetable in terms of triggering Article 50 are up to | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
the UK Government. Our political correspondent is at Chequers. | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
If the Cabinet reached any firm conclusions on what form Brexit | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
should take they are not giving much away, after meeting of the political | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
cabinet this afternoon, Downing Street did confirm the desire to | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
push ahead with the exit process, and it seems that Theresa May is | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
looking for a bespoke deal for Britain, rather than some kind of | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
off the shelf solution. What does this all mean for Scotland and the | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
other devolved nations? A apparently ministers spent some time discussing | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
the Prime Minister's commitment to make Brexit work for all, there is | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
also clearly an emphasis though on the fact that the UK will take | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
decisions about what form the negotiations will take, and they | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
seem to be ruling out any kind of veto for Scotland and the other | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
devolved nations on the timing of when that process begins. It will | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
only begin though, when ministers agree what the future relationship | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
between the EU and the UK they want will look like. | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
The first advanced warship to be built in Glasgow in almost five | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
It's been hailed as a rebirth of Clyde shipbuilding, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
but unions say there's still uncertainty about | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
Here is the Clyde. And here is the Forth. The Navy's newest patrol | :06:44. | :06:59. | |
vessel and the first advanced warship built on the river in almost | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
five year, the project has been hailed as a return to traditional | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
Glasgow shipbuilding but using modern and cost cutting technology. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
This is the first of three offshore patrol vessels being built on the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Clyde for the Royal Navy and with negotiations on going to potentially | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
build two more, management say the future is bright. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
Eight of these type 26 frigates are also due to be built on the Clyde, | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
but the order has been delayed by the UK Government, while it seeks to | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
reduce costs. Unions want that work to start as | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
soon as possible, to avoid skilled workers having to transfer to other | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
UK shipyards. What we really need is the type 26 programme to start | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
earlier than the dates that were speculated on which was late 2017 | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
early 18. We need to get the manufacturing phase of that starting | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
earlier so we can use the workforce we have on the Clyde. However, the | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
shipyard operators say the work that is going on at the moment, lays the | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
ground for future success. The offshore patrol vessels are a great | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
example of us building up the capability in shipbuilding. It's a | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
great path into type 26, these vessels are helping us own that | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
capability and make us, you know, puts us in a good position for when | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
we start that programme. The patrol vessel programme is due | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
to last until autumn 2018. But then it is hoped new contracts will be in | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
place, to secure the future of this Clyde workforce. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
And we can go now to our business and economy | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
We can see the vessel behind you it is an impressive piece of work but | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
the suggestion seems to be that the vessels like these are being used to | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
keep the Clyde in business. Yes, for the Royal Navy these are nice to | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
have but they are strategically not the reel deal. They might help in BA | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
have but they are strategically not systems winning e port orders | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
because they are less complex than the ships usually built on the Clyde | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
for the Royal Navy and the Navy alone. It is to plug a gap in order, | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
so the type 26 frigate, eight of them to be built on the Clyde, but | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
the deal has not been signed off between the Ministry of Defence and | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
BAE Systems. It is already, it is more than a year behind schedule, | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
and they are to replace the type 23 frigate. We are now told by a | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Conservative peer speaking in the House of Lords just a few weeks ago, | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
that the type 23 is to be refitted, we are not told how much that is | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
going to cost, how long it will take, but that is connected, both | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
with a capability gap also for the Royal Navy, and a need to keep work | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
going in Britain's shipyards. What is the view on what needs to happen | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
to give the industry here a sustainable future? Well, there is | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
about 2300 people based working on these Clyde yards. They need to keep | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
busy, the yards need to keep work going, there needs to be a drum beat | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
of work. Some of them are commuting to Ross sit where they are | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
completing the work on the aircraft carrier. Some are going to Cumbria | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
to work on submarine, but they need, the unions say an order that will | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
take up these offshore patrol vessels, as that work winds down, | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
they need the work to come through, they need it next year rather than | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
the likely date of late next year or into 2018. Now there are, there were | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
originally supposed to be 13 ships built. They are looking at eight | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
frigates and five less complex ships. Not clear where they are | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
going to be built. We are hoping this year to, at the end of this | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
year to get the outcome of a national shipbuilding strategy. What | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
is this and what difference will it make? Well, yes, we thought we had | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
the strategy sorted out with the closure of the Portsmouth shipyard | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
leaving these yards as the only place where complex ships were to be | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
built for the Royal Navy. In the budget earlier this year, George | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
Osborne, then the Chancellor announced there would be a strategic | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
review of shipbuilding under an industry veteran, Sir John Parker, | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
he has been asked to look at it on a regular footing, value for money, | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
maintaining jobs and skills in Britain as well. We thought we had | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
that already agreed but he is looking a it again. It may be he | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
wants to increase the capacity of the shipbuilding in Britain, perhaps | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
for merchant shipping, we will find out, we hope, later this year. | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
Did you know Scotland now has an international council | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
They've been having their first meeting. | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
It's part of the Government's drive to reduce the so-called | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
attainment gap in schools, where children from low-income | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
households do significantly worse at school than those | :11:54. | :11:54. | |
The experts gathered with the First Minister at a primary | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
school in East Lothian, from where our political | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
It is a challenge for the kids at this primary school. The daily mile | :12:01. | :12:14. | |
races their fitness levels P -- raises. Setting a challenge of our | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
own the First Minister wants to improve Scotland's education. Aided | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
by advisers from across the world, she wants to close the attainment | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
gap. Schools should be places where we support children to overcomedies | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
advantage, and that makes it all the more important we focus on what | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
schools can do, to help young people overcome any disadvantage they come | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
across and that is why we are putting emphasis on the attainment | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
gap and how to close it. It is a modern school, far cry from the | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
Victorian classrooms in perhaps many of which were educated. During those | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
time Scotland's education system was top of the class: So to improve the | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
system, excellence and equity are said to be the guiding principles, | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
in these reforms. One adviser from Boston n the US, says they don't | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
want to close the attainment gap by meeting in the middle but by | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
reaching for the top. If you give attention to everybody the range in | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
a class narrow, it becomes easier to teach the kids to engain them, | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
because you are not distracted with behavioural problems with kids who | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
are finding the learning too difficult and so on. The | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Conservatives say the Scottish Government must take note of what | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
the advisers actually say. Labour are more critical. I would be very | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
concerned if the meetings with international advisers were similar | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Mr A smoke screen to hide the fact that the SNP have cut education | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
budgets every single year, that we have over 4,000 fewer teachers in | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
our school, that teacher training funding has been cut. | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
There is a lot of hard work ahead. Involving these advisers means the | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
First Minister is looking for an A for effort. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
A senior social worker has told a hearing that a child protection | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
team which dealt with the murdered toddler Liam Fee was | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
The hearing is investigating the conduct of Lesley Bate, who faces | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
charges involving 16 children, including Liam. | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
She was a member of the team in Fife. | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
Andrew Anderson reports from the hearing. | :14:22. | :14:31. | |
Sharon worked with her in 2013. They were social worker with the Child | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
Protection Team based in Glenrothesful. She said Miss Bates | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
that were given task that were not done or there was no record they had | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
been done. In one case she said she had left a child in a vulnerable | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
position. Leslie bathes and the team were | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
involved in the case of Liam Fee. It is alleged Miss Bates failed to take | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
the steps to protect him from harm and 15 other children between | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
December 2011 and August 2014. Sharon Bar told the hearing there | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
was a split in the Child Protection Team in Glenrothes. There were | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
personality clashes and it was divided into two camps. Some staff | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
wouldn't speak to others unless they had to. She agreed that had an | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
effect on two case, although neither was that of Liam Fee. Liam's mother | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
and partner were jailed for his murder, concerns had been raised | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
with social work for his safety but their trial heard Liam had fallen | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
off the radar. That evidence came from the leader of the Child | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Protection Team Karen Pedder. She is due to give evidence tomorrow. | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
Lesley bait is not attending this hearing and she has given up her | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
social work registration, she does not admit to any of the charges | :15:48. | :15:48. | |
against her. You're watching BBC | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
Reporting Scotland. Ferguslie Park in Paisley is named | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
as most deprived place in Scotland as new figures identify | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
the country's haves and have nots. And we look at the comings and | :16:00. | :16:16. | |
goings as the football transfer deadline looms. | :16:17. | :16:16. | |
The issue of whether or not to resuscitate seriously ill | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
Now the Scottish Government has updated its policy on how | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
to deal with this difficult area of medicine. | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
It emphasises the importance of talking to patients | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
and their families about the potential consequences | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
of reviving someone towards the end of their life. | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
The new guidelines have been welcomed by one doctor whose husband | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
It does not mean people are not going to be treated, it very much | :16:40. | :16:53. | |
means they will be resuscitated if appropriate, they will be | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
investigated and treated and diagnose. Most importantly, they | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
will be treated as individuals and with dignity. | :17:01. | :17:01. | |
MSPs who work for ministers are no longer going to be allowed | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
to sit on parliamentary committees that review their bosses' work. | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
The Ministerial Code of Conduct is to be changed after opposition | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
parties complained it undermines scrutiny. | :17:12. | :17:12. | |
Our political correspondent Nick Eardley is with me now. | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
Is it a U-turn by the Scottish Government? It is a change of heart. | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
A number of MSPs who worked closely with ministers are on the committee | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
relevant to the minister's portfolio. The Education Secretary | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
John Swinney's aid is on the education committee and critics ask | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
whether someone so close to a minister can scrutinise their | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
policies activity level. They say because Holyrood does not have a | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
revising chamber like the House of Lords at Westminster, it is | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
essential they question as robust Lee as possible. Margaret Mitchell | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
welcomed the announcement. It is a victory for common-sense and a move | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
that is welcome. It was not acceptable that people promoted and | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
appointed as Parliamentary liaison officers to a particular ministers | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
should then be a committee member of that minister's portfolio. There was | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
a conflict of interest. What is the Scottish Government saying? Nicola | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
Sturgeon announced the code would be revised so it does not happen any | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
more. When initial concerns were raised the Scottish Government said | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
there was not a reason that aid could not effectively scrutinise. | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
The First Minister said there is no evidence of any conflict of | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
interest. The rules are changing and evidence of any conflict of | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
those currently on committees will be removed soon. | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
The airline Jet2 has announced a recruitment drive | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
as it expands services, including 160 new jobs based | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
A total of 1,000 new flight and ground crew | :19:02. | :19:06. | |

The leisure airline flies 220 routes with 63 aircraft. | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
It's investing in 30 new planes for delivery over | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
A change in the traffic light sequence to ease congestion at one | :19:15. | :19:25. | |
of the Highland capital's busiest roundabouts has failed to please | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
Traffic jams have continued to build up at the busy Longman | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
roundabout, in spite of a recent re-tuning of the lights. | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
Bear Scotland, who manage the route on behalf of Transport Scotland, | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
said it was early in the trial process and urged | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
But the roads agency is being urged to take another look at the lights. | :19:41. | :19:49. | |
Andy Murray will play Spain's Marcel Granollers | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
in the second round of the US Open tennis. | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
The Scot won his first round match at Flushing Meadows | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
against Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic last night. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
The second seed is looking to add the US title to his recent successes | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
Andy Murray began his US Open campaign as the form player on the | :20:04. | :20:17. | |
circuit. The Olympic champion aims for further glory at Flushing | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
Meadows. With Ivan Lendl back in his corner for the first time since | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
Wimbledon, much is expected of him over the next fortnight. World | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
number 81 Lukas Rosol was the first obstacle. It became clear Andy | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Murray would not stumble as he took the first set with minimum fuss. His | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
athleticism and shotmaking helped him race towards a second set. And a | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
final booming serve wrapped up the third set and the match. First and | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
second serve were good tonight and that is something I have worked on a | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
lot. It was good, through the grass at Wimbledon, and was important for | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
me. Especially in the final and the semis, not really giving up too many | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
chances. That ruthlessness will be required more and more as the | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
tournament progresses. Next up, Marcel Granollers, the Spaniard. | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
It's transfer deadline day in the football world, | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
and there are just over five hours left until the window shuts. | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
Our reporter John Barnes has been following developments, | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
I see over ?1 billion has been spent by clubs in England on fees. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
I believe it's considerably less up here, John. | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
It sure is Jackie and by a long long way. | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
Not too much being spent by Scottish clubs by way of fees. | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
Rangers have signed the former Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
The Swiss international, who was a free agent, has been | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
training with the Ibrox club recently and his signing | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
will complete their business for this transfer window. | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
Talks are continuing between Celtic and the Italian club Torino over | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
the transfer of defender Jozo Simunovic. | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
The Croatian's time at Parkhead has been hampered by injury | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
and he hasn't played since the end of January. | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
It looks as though Torino want to take him on loan | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
but Celtic would prefer him to move permanently. | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
Meanwhile Charlie Mulgrew's contract with Celtic expired in the summer | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
and he's joined the English championship club Blackburn Rovers | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
Elsewhere the Hearts striker Juanma has joined the Spanish side Murcia | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
Inverness have signed the former St Johnstone and Hearts defender | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
St Johnstone themselves have signed striker Joe Gormley on loan from | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
Mathias Pogba is leaving Partick Thistle. | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
The brother of Manchester United's world-record signing Paul | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
who had his contract cancelled by mutual consent. | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
Meanwhile Scotland international and Norwich striker | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
Steven Naismith has been linked with a move to Sunderland. | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
Naismith trained with the Scotland squad this afternoon | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
as they prepared for Sunday's World Cup | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
Already two other players have left the squad temporarily | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
Chris Martin looks to be leaving Derby for Fulham while Ikechi | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Anya looks like moving to Derby from Watford. | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
Well, one Scotland football international made his big money | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
The teenager Oliver Burke left the English Championship for the top | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
The fee was a new record for a Scottish player. | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
Now he's vying for a starting place for his country. | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
This is not just any Scottish footballer, it is the most expensive | :23:37. | :23:49. | |
one. Sold by Nottingham Forest to Leipzig in Germany for ?30 million. | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
The price tag aside, what is so special about Oliver Burke? The | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
first day I saw him here, he blew me away. I was so excited by him. He is | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
a young player making his way, so he has a long way to go but he has a | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
tremendous amount to learn and develop as an international player. | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
He has started just 13 games for Nottingham Forest but has won two | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
caps for the national team in friendlies and he has been compared | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
with one of the game's superstars. Gareth Bale for Wales. He is very | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
much like Gareth Bale. I do not want to build him up to be Gareth Bale, | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
he is his own man. But from what I have seen, his ability, the sky is | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
the limit. It is all about his mentality and staying grounded and | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
working hard. Gareth Bale helped Wales to the semifinals of the Euros | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
2016. The Madrid player one of the world's best and being compared to | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
him is praise indeed. Hang on, Oliver Burke might not even play | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
against Malta on Sunday. Certainly in half a dozen positions two and in | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
some cases three players who could be in those positions. He might well | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
be the new Gareth Bale, but not yet. The last day of summer. What a | :25:19. | :25:30. | |
summer it was. It has been a mixed bag. Good | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
evening, the weather has not been too unkind today with a mixture of | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
sunshine and showers. This evening, the showers will become increasingly | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
confined to the north-west and far north, otherwise a dry end to the | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
day for most of us with spells of brightness. A dry night will follow | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
and there will be clear spells around with showers continuing | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
across the far north. Brisk wind across the far north. Enough breeze | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
to prevent the temperature falling away too far. Tomorrow, it dawns on | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
a dry note with just one or two showers in the door. Brightness for | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
a time, but cloud will increase, followed by outbreaks of rain, which | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
will be accompanied by strengthening winds on western coastal areas, | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
gradually moving east through the day will stop tomorrow afternoon, | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
across the western Isles, much of the north-west Highlands, far North, | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
Orkney and Argyll, persistent outbreaks of rain and breezy with | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
risk south-westerly winds. Shetland and eastern coastal areas will hold | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
onto something drier and possibly brighter tomorrow afternoon, lifting | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
temperatures to 18 at best. Otherwise cloudy with light and | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
patchy rain and temperatures around 15-17. Tomorrow evening, rain | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
tracking eastwards. As we go through tomorrow night, it should clear into | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
the North Sea and by Friday, we return to a mixture of bright or | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
sunny spells and also showers, fairly heavy and frequent in the | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
north-west, especially with the odd rumble of thunder, perhaps, | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
otherwise try and bright weather with spells of sunshine. | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
That is the campaign, he would appear to | :27:30. | :27:44. | |
Mexicans as having committed almost the cardinal sin of | :27:45. | :27:50. |
