That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00.:00:00.

and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00.:00:08.

Staying in their Highland home, the Brain Family,

facing deportation from the UK, have been granted leave

found work which meets The brain family face a more

uncertain future this evening, after being told the leave the UK six

:01:43.:01:46.

weeks ago, they've now found work which means they can fulfil a dream

:01:47.:01:50.

and stay in the Highlands. Overwhelmed with emotion. I can't

:01:51.:01:54.

describe how I feel. Seven months now we have been without work and,

:01:55.:01:59.

you know, struggling and fight through this whole process. Gregg

:02:00.:02:08.

Gregg Brain came here to study at the university of the Highland and

:02:09.:02:12.

Islands on a student veesia. They understood they be able to stay and

:02:13.:02:17.

work here after she completed the course, but immigration schools

:02:18.:02:20.

changed making that more difficult. Now she has secured a new museum

curator's post with a national hotel chain, which meets Home Office

:02:28.:02:31.

requirement, giving them leave to remain in the UK. We have a

:02:32.:02:36.

sponsorship on board. They speeded a sponsorship for this particular

:02:37.:02:39.

position but the position meets all the criteria for the Home Office. We

:02:40.:02:43.

feel like we have been guided. We followed the path that needed to

:02:44.:02:48.

happen. We quite often found, in our lives, that we get reminded that

:02:49.:02:52.

things for us happen, not just in the 11th hour but the 59th minute,

:02:53.:02:56.

just to remind us that it is not entirely us. After a high-profile

:02:57.:03:01.

campaign was launched for them to stay, the Home Office argued that it

:03:02.:03:04.

gave the family a number of extension, allowing them time to

:03:05.:03:07.

secure a job which would meet immigration rules. But their local

:03:08.:03:12.

MP says lessons must be learned from the way they were treated All this

:03:13.:03:15.

grief and all effort that so many people had to put in place over the

:03:16.:03:19.

last few months was unnecessary. I think it really demonstrates that

:03:20.:03:22.

ultimately, we need control of immigration policy here in Scotland,

:03:23.:03:26.

so we can make decision based on our own needs and own criteria and I

:03:27.:03:30.

look forward to the situation that no-one else has to go through the

:03:31.:03:33.

kind of thing that the family have gone through over the course of the

:03:34.:03:37.

next few months. After months of living in temporary accommodation,

:03:38.:03:40.

the family are now looking for a permanent home but they have one

request of their young son, Laclin. What do you want in the back yard? A

:03:47.:03:50.

trampoline. And we can speak to

:03:51.:03:52.

Gregg and Kathryn Brain Greg this has been a long

:03:53.:03:56.

and exhausting process for you - what life lessons have you learned

:03:57.:04:01.

having lived through all this? The importance of persistence. Yes.

:04:02.:04:15.

You must be feeling very happy tonight. Relieved as well. What are

:04:16.:04:19.

your thoughts on what you have gone through and the way that the Home

:04:20.:04:25.

Office handled the case? ? Look, we are absolutely elated that we have

:04:26.:04:30.

got this leave to remain now. So I'm feeling elation that we are able to

:04:31.:04:33.

stay. I'm feeling furious that we have had to go through all of this

:04:34.:04:39.

to get to this point when we were proimsed a two-year visa after

:04:40.:04:41.

Katherine's studies when we first arrived. Mostly I'm feeling

:04:42.:04:45.

gratitude for the support we have had. The MP, to our lar, to

:04:46.:04:50.

fulfilled his brief and presented an application that would give the Home

:04:51.:04:54.

Office no option but say yes and the support we have had from the

:04:55.:04:58.

community, be that Ding skas ball, the Highlands, Scotland and all of

:04:59.:05:02.

the UK. . We have had cards from as far afield from Essex, giving us

:05:03.:05:06.

messages of support. So to all of those people thank you very much.

:05:07.:05:10.

All that of political support, the media attention your case received,

:05:11.:05:13.

Kathryn, how much do you think that helped your case to stand out. You

:05:14.:05:17.

are not alone, lots of other people aren't as lucky as you have been. I

:05:18.:05:25.

don't know if there is a lot of luck in it. It was a lot of hard work

:05:26.:05:30.

from so many people. But one thing our coverage of our situation has

:05:31.:05:33.

brought forward, as so many other families that are in similar fights

:05:34.:05:39.

with the Home Office, for legitimate cases, they are completely

:05:40.:05:43.

legitimate in their application, that are struggling with trying to

:05:44.:05:47.

meet the Home Office criteria, which, you know, it may suit some

:05:48.:05:51.

parts of the country but not all parts of the country, so a regional

:05:52.:05:56.

policy is what is really needed. As a family you can start planning

:05:57.:06:02.

ahead to the future. What are your hopes now, apart from the

:06:03.:06:07.

trampoline? Well, yes, he definitely wants that trampoline.

:06:08.:06:12.

Well, the immediate plans, the plans we have had in place for a couple of

:06:13.:06:16.

weeks now s I'm graduating with my degree. I actually have to hand my

:06:17.:06:20.

degree back to the university so they can give it to me formally at

:06:21.:06:26.

Orkney at the Cathedral. I'm so looking forward to that. And an

:06:27.:06:30.

anniversary. And we have been married 25 years next week, so we

:06:31.:06:34.

are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary up there as well by

:06:35.:06:39.

renewing our vows or receiving a blessing at the St Magnus Cathedral

:06:40.:06:43.

while we are there. If not on the Friday, most likely on Saturday if

:06:44.:06:46.

we can arrangement but we have to get them in place yet.

:06:47.:06:49.

Congratulations on that and thank you for joining us this evening.

:06:50.:06:52.

A social worker involved in the case of the murdered Fife toddler,

:06:53.:06:55.

A watchdog found Lesley Bate guilty of 12 charges involving

:06:56.:07:03.

It said her misconduct amounted to neglect.

:07:04.:07:06.

But it also criticised her employer and some of the witnesses

:07:07.:07:08.

Panel members heard five days of evidence and today delivered their

:07:09.:07:21.

judgment on Lesley Bate. She stayed away. The charges against her ran it

:07:22.:07:28.

five pages. She was found guilty in all but one. 12 charges, involving

:07:29.:07:31.

15 children over a three-year period. Some of them were thought to

:07:32.:07:36.

be the a risk of physical and sexual abuse. One of those children was

:07:37.:07:42.

Liam Fee. A child minder first raised concerns with her social work

:07:43.:07:47.

in January 2013. Liam has a massive bruise on his forehead. A month

:07:48.:07:50.

later, further concerns about a neck injury. More than a year later, Liam

:07:51.:07:55.

was murdered by his mother and her partner. Lesley Bate had visited

:07:56.:08:00.

Liam's home after the first injury. His mother said Liam had fallen out

:08:01.:08:06.

of his cot. Miss Bate accepted that. She then failed to follow up on the

:08:07.:08:10.

later concerns. None of this will surprise this who feared from Liam's

:08:11.:08:15.

safety and tried to get him help. The whole community is completely

:08:16.:08:20.

knocked by this. The worst part is that a lot of people were speaking

:08:21.:08:24.

up and obviously we weren't taken seriously enough. The Scottish

:08:25.:08:29.

social services Council panel found Lesley Bate left Liam Fee and other

:08:30.:08:32.

children at risk of actual or potential harm and that her "serious

:08:33.:08:39.

misconduct" amounted to neglect. Fife Council says it has every

:08:40.:08:43.

confidence in the potentiallyism and Fife Council says it has every

:08:44.:08:45.

integrity of the staff who gave evidence but tonight there are calls

:08:46.:08:50.

for a wider review. It is very clear there was no joined-up working and

:08:51.:08:53.

the communication seems to have been extremely poor throughout this case

:08:54.:08:57.

and we have to make sure there are no others who were allowed to slip

:08:58.:09:04.

through the net. Whether or not the authorities could have done more to

:09:05.:09:08.

stop the murders is now being investigated by a case review. Fife

:09:09.:09:11.

Council declined to be interviewed today. In a statement it said the

:09:12.:09:17.

Lesley Bate case did not reflect current practice or the high

:09:18.:09:21.

standards of professionalism it expects from its social work staff.

:09:22.:09:25.

Almost a quarter of young women in Scotland have reported

:09:26.:09:27.

they've self-harmed, according to a comprehensive survey

:09:28.:09:29.

It also found 8% have attempted suicide.

:09:30.:09:36.

The figures in the Scottish Health Survey further highlight the link

:09:37.:09:39.

between poor health and anxiety, with deprivation.

:09:40.:09:40.

Our Home Affairs Correspondent Reevel Alderson reports.

:09:41.:09:46.

How do we feel about ourselves? The annual health survey highlights

:09:47.:09:52.

changes in personal well-being among Scots. The results show the levels

:09:53.:09:57.

of anxiety and depression being felt, and surprisingly, those in the

:09:58.:10:01.

most deprived areas, are more likely to suffer symptoms. 9% of film

:10:02.:10:07.

self-harmed in the past year. The figure for men was 6%. But among

:10:08.:10:13.

young women the figure was 23%, almost one-quarter. For young men

:10:14.:10:21.

approximates more worryingly is the attempted suicide attempts. Mental

:10:22.:10:24.

health charities say they are not surprised. They say they have

:10:25.:10:27.

health charities say they are not received an increase number of calls

:10:28.:10:29.

from young people seeking help. We know that from the research and

:10:30.:10:33.

evidence we have been looking at over the last few weeks, that young

:10:34.:10:36.

women and body image is a real issue. So there is a lot going on in

:10:37.:10:43.

young people's lives and, therefore, the increase in self-harm,

:10:44.:10:45.

particularly with young women, is a way that they can start to perhaps

:10:46.:10:51.

control situations themselves. The health survey also reveals an

:10:52.:10:56.

increase in the number of people using electronic cigarettes, vaping,

:10:57.:10:59.

and a further decline in those smoke, although it shows one in five

:11:00.:11:04.

still smokes. It also shows fewer children are exposed to second-hand

:11:05.:11:08.

smoke in the home. From heart disease, obesity and departmental

:11:09.:11:13.

health, the survey's same to provide the Government with the information

:11:14.:11:16.

needed to tackle the health problems. - obesity and dental

:11:17.:11:21.

health. We need this to be able to provide a whole picture of the

:11:22.:11:24.

nation's health and how it has changed over time. Certainly, what

:11:25.:11:28.

we are able to see, on measures like smoking, for example, is there has

:11:29.:11:33.

been a long-term decline. Clearly information campaigns aren't enough.

:11:34.:11:37.

Only one in five Scots meets the recommendation of five portions of

:11:38.:11:40.

fresh fruit and veg a day. The same level as 13 years ago.

:11:41.:11:46.

Today's health figures also show there's been almost no change

:11:47.:11:48.

in levels of physical activity in Scotland.

:11:49.:11:50.

A quarter of all children and a third of adults are failing

:11:51.:11:53.

to meet activity guidelines set by the Scottish Government.

:11:54.:11:56.

This despite a promise that the Commonwealth Games

:11:57.:12:00.

would inspire people to become more active.

:12:01.:12:01.

This is the sort of cheap and cheerful activity that can encourage

:12:02.:12:15.

healthy habits. We are stuck inside like all day and then just to get

:12:16.:12:19.

fresh air and run is good. I think it is really fun. It helps you get

:12:20.:12:25.

healthy and fit. The daily mile has been adopted by schools up and down

:12:26.:12:26.

the country. But it didn't have any been adopted by schools up and down

:12:27.:12:30.

connection to the Commonwealth Games. Glasgow 2014 clearly was

:12:31.:12:35.

popular. A catalyst for regeneration in the East End of the city. It

:12:36.:12:41.

helped create a wave of elite athletes, with more success in Rio,

:12:42.:12:45.

but when it comes to mass participation in sport, we don't

:12:46.:12:49.

appear to be getting the message - begging the question: Why did

:12:50.:12:54.

politicians say it will? Inactivity is the second-biggest killer in

:12:55.:12:58.

Scotland and the Government has set targets to combat it. It is falling

:12:59.:13:02.

far short of this. Activity levels remain stagnant. Obesity levels are

:13:03.:13:07.

poor. In fact, there's been no significant rise in children

:13:08.:13:10.

participating in sport since 2008. That was before the Olympics and the

:13:11.:13:16.

comop wealth Games came along. - Commonwealth Games. I don't accept

:13:17.:13:20.

that. I think the Games have been an important part in ensuring sport and

:13:21.:13:24.

physical activity remain high on the agenda. The whole investment in PE

:13:25.:13:28.

and getting 10% of schools doing two hours and two periods of PE to 98%

:13:29.:13:33.

of schools was a legacy from the Commonwealth Games. One-third of the

:13:34.:13:37.

population is enactive. Researchers say to change that will require

:13:38.:13:40.

population is enactive. Researchers cultural shift Sport is probably not

:13:41.:13:43.

the first option for those people. We probably need to look how we can

:13:44.:13:49.

get them active through active living, through cycling, walk,

:13:50.:13:52.

gardening, those activities rather than sfort itself. And this is the

:13:53.:13:57.

sort of thing. - sport itself. And this is the sort of thing, walking

:13:58.:14:02.

groups, big benefits It keeps them in touch physically. It improves

:14:03.:14:04.

groups, big benefits It keeps them mobility and balance and we are all

:14:05.:14:10.

very sociable. There is lofts talk, sometimes far too much and less

:14:11.:14:15.

concentration. The attitudinal shift, it appears, to get the nation

:14:16.:14:20.

active, will not come about by hosting a big sporting event.

:14:21.:14:22.

And there will be more on that story on Scotland 2016 tonigh.

:14:23.:14:25.

So we have fewer smokers and less binge drinking but what have the

:14:26.:14:36.

Scots got against fruit and veg. Our already-poor die vets failed to

:14:37.:14:40.

improve over the past decade. So is it time it take tough action? We'll

:14:41.:14:46.

discuss on BBC Two Scotland tonight at 10.30pm.

:14:47.:14:48.

You're watching BBC Reporting Scotland.

:14:49.:14:49.

The Brains, an Australian family facing deportation,

:14:50.:14:53.

have been granted leave to remain in the Highlands,

:14:54.:14:55.

The Scottish FA is investigating claims that the Rangers' player,

:14:56.:15:05.

Joey Barton, broke its gambling rules by betting on a match.

:15:06.:15:14.

Police are investigating a rape at a bus stop

:15:15.:15:17.

The serious sexual assault was reported to have

:15:18.:15:24.

happened in Lothian Road, near St John's Church and opposite

:15:25.:15:27.

the Waldorf Astoria hotel in the early hours of the morning.

:15:28.:15:34.

The RMT Union say they are recommending members accept a deal

:15:35.:15:37.

with Scotrail that should mean the end of strike action

:15:38.:15:39.

It means both drivers and conductors will operate train doors.

:15:40.:15:43.

Thousands of passengers were caught up in the summer strikes.

:15:44.:15:45.

It bass 123 days of misery for rail passengers. Thousands were delayed

:15:46.:15:58.

Ascot rail services were cancelled across the network. The RMT's

:15:59.:16:02.

decision to recommend a new deal to its members means services will

:16:03.:16:07.

probably now get back on track. The union says the role of train guards

:16:08.:16:11.

has been saved. For them, it's a victory. What we've managed to

:16:12.:16:17.

achieve and what we've actually managed to deliver is safe trains.

:16:18.:16:21.

We've now delivered the guard will be on the train and the guard will

:16:22.:16:26.

be in fully operational control of the doors. That, in RMT's strong

:16:27.:16:33.

opinion, constitutes safe Scottish trains. At the heart of this dispute

:16:34.:16:37.

was the question of who opens and closes the train doors. ScotRail

:16:38.:16:41.

wanted drivers to do that on new rolling stock. The RMT said that was

:16:42.:16:46.

a safety issue. So, has ScotRail had to back down? When you are in these

:16:47.:16:51.

negotiations you don't always get what you really wanted. I think the

:16:52.:17:03.

fact that we had the conversations the discussion was all part of a

:17:04.:17:07.

process. Will customers end up paying more? No. That's an

:17:08.:17:14.

unequivocal message ScotRail believe the new deal is a Winton situation

:17:15.:17:21.

for everyone. New rolling stock will be fitted with door controls for

:17:22.:17:27.

conductors. It's not known how much it will add to the cost, but

:17:28.:17:28.

ScotRail will have to bear them. The heavy lifting ship due to remove

:17:29.:17:34.

the Transocean Winner oil rig, after it ran aground on Lewis last

:17:35.:17:36.

month, is due to arrive on site The ship offloaded a rig

:17:37.:17:40.

in the Cromarty Firth and set off Our reporter, Angus

:17:41.:17:44.

Macdonald, has more. Later this evening the heavy lift

:17:45.:17:54.

ship is expected to come into Broad Bay behind me a mile away from the

:17:55.:17:59.

rig which lies at anchor and has lain there for the past few weeks.

:18:00.:18:03.

Then preparations begin in earnest to float the rig onto the heavy lift

:18:04.:18:08.

ship so it can be taken away. A lot of preparation has to go on before

:18:09.:18:12.

then. Timbers have to be laid on the deck of the ship and also airbags

:18:13.:18:18.

have to be put onto the rig to raise it higher in the water so it will

:18:19.:18:23.

float over the submerged deck of the hawk. All of this is going to take

:18:24.:18:27.

time and it's going to mean very precise work. It will also mean they

:18:28.:18:32.

will have to have very good weather. I spoke earlier to the Secretary of

:18:33.:18:37.

State's representative, Huw Shaw, who reckoned they might be able to

:18:38.:18:42.

do this weekend. 'S difficult to predict. Our best guess at the

:18:43.:18:47.

moment is looking into the weekend and Sunday is looking more

:18:48.:18:49.

favourable than Saturday at the moment. We are starting to think

:18:50.:18:53.

along that line. That could change on a daily basis. It could come

:18:54.:18:56.

forward or it may be pushed back. The Scottish FA is investigating

:18:57.:19:03.

claims that the Rangers player, Joey Barton, broke its gambling

:19:04.:19:05.

rules by betting on a recent match. The SFA prevents players

:19:06.:19:08.

from betting on any football games. Here to explain more

:19:09.:19:11.

is our senior football Chris, what exactly

:19:12.:19:12.

is being investigated? Well, the allegation, Laura, is that

:19:13.:19:20.

Joey Barton, who round Rangers in the summer, placed a bet on Celtic's

:19:21.:19:25.

recent Champions League match against Barcelona at the Nou camp, a

:19:26.:19:31.

game the Spanish side won 7-1. A one-off bet. As you say, football

:19:32.:19:35.

players are not allowed to bet on football matches. That's all in a

:19:36.:19:41.

bid to try and combat match-fixing. Investigations on this are at a very

:19:42.:19:45.

early stage. The club are saying absolutely nothing. On this, at the

:19:46.:19:48.

moment, Joey Barton himself is saying nothing. What kind of

:19:49.:19:52.

punishment could he be looking at if he's found guilty? Usually, in this

:19:53.:19:56.

type of scenario, it's a suspension, a two match suspension for this type

Andy Murray has told BBC Scotland it's time for the tennis authorities

:21:13.:21:15.

to deliver a lasting legacy for the sport in this country.

:21:16.:21:17.

The Olympic and Wimbledon Champion says he welcomes ambitious plans

:21:18.:21:20.

to build 10 new indoor facilities in Scotland over

He was also quizzed by local schoolchildren in Stirling

here and it can be expensive to play. As well indoors, too. More
