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

:00:00.:00:00.

A report finds the fatal stabbing of Bailey Gwynne at an Aberdeen

:00:00.:00:12.

school was "potentially predictable and avoidable"

:00:13.:00:14.

if students who knew the attacker was carrying a knife

:00:15.:00:17.

Almost a year after the tragedy, we assess the impact it's

:00:18.:00:22.

And on its pupils. I remember a lot of confusion, I was in an English

:00:23.:00:34.

class looking over the car park. Nobody could have predicted that

:00:35.:00:38.

from a stab wound. Someone said it was a bleeding nose and then we

:00:39.:00:41.

heard the sirens and about ten police cars turning up outside the

:00:42.:00:43.

car park. There are now calls for a change

:00:44.:00:45.

in the law to give teachers more Concerns are raised as one in ten

:00:46.:00:48.

kids start primary school I'm in Slovakia where Scotland face

:00:49.:01:06.

a crucial World Cup qualifier, only their third game in and there's very

:01:07.:01:10.

little room for error for Gordon Strachan and his squad.

:01:11.:01:12.

And the trial bike rider, Danny Macaskill, has a wee

:01:13.:01:14.

day out in the rolling Scottish countryside.

:01:15.:01:29.

A stabbing at an Aberdeen school which led to the death of a pupil

:01:30.:01:35.

was "potentially predictable and avoidable".

:01:36.:01:40.

16-year-old Bailey Gwynne's attacker was carrying a knife but it wasn't

:01:41.:01:43.

There are now calls for a change in the law to give teachers more

:01:44.:01:53.

It is coming up to one years since the tragedy here at cults Academy

:01:54.:02:05.

where Bailey Gwynne was stabbed by another pupil. His friends and

:02:06.:02:09.

family have been remembering him during that time in their own way.

:02:10.:02:14.

Today we got the findings of an independent report into what

:02:15.:02:17.

happened that day. One child protection experts said there was no

:02:18.:02:20.

way of averting the stabbing that protection experts said there was no

:02:21.:02:24.

happened on that day but he does say that those who knew that the killer

:02:25.:02:28.

had a history of taking knives and other weapons to school, if they had

:02:29.:02:33.

reported that to staff it could have been avoided.

:02:34.:02:38.

October 28 last year, a day that will not be forgotten by those

:02:39.:02:44.

involved, as the lunch break ends at cults Academy two boys of 16 have an

:02:45.:02:48.

argument and then fight. It ends in the death of one of them.

:02:49.:02:53.

16-year-old Bailey Gwynne, a single stab wound to the heart ending his

:02:54.:02:59.

young life. His killer no serving nine years for culpable homicide.

:03:00.:03:04.

Today the findings of an independent report into what happened, the

:03:05.:03:09.

picture is painted of an exceptional argument that spiralled out of

:03:10.:03:17.

control. Entirely, in my view, unpredictable, rose very rapidly

:03:18.:03:21.

from an inconsequential argument that schoolboys might have every

:03:22.:03:26.

day, a regular argument which suddenly became inflamed. Of events

:03:27.:03:30.

on the day of the stabbing Andrew Lowe says it was an unplanned

:03:31.:03:33.

spontaneous conflict that emerged rapidly. It could not have been

:03:34.:03:38.

predicted or averted on the day. But he says the course of the conflict

:03:39.:03:41.

was fatally altered by the possession of a knife. This was

:03:42.:03:45.

potentially predictable and avoidable if those who knew Chad A,

:03:46.:03:52.

the killer, carried weapons to school, had reported it to staff -

:03:53.:03:59.

Child A. The possession of a weapon by one boy was known by some people

:04:00.:04:04.

and if they had brought it to the attention of teachers, that may have

:04:05.:04:09.

enabled the event to be avoided. All of my recommendations are around

:04:10.:04:13.

making sure that in future we have a better chance of avoiding that.

:04:14.:04:19.

There are 21 recommendations in the report. Aberdeen City Council

:04:20.:04:25.

accepts them all. I am very, very thoughtful about the impact on the

:04:26.:04:29.

well-being of all children at cults Academy as a result of what

:04:30.:04:34.

happened, that has been my focus for the last year, incumbent upon us or

:04:35.:04:38.

to be mindful and to provide the support, this will prove to be a

:04:39.:04:43.

significant dramatic event in the life of a number of those children.

:04:44.:04:47.

Bailey Gwynne's family met with the author of the report yesterday. He

:04:48.:04:57.

said they showed remarkable dignity. We know from the High Court trial of

:04:58.:05:00.

the killer that a number of fellow pupils had seen him in school with

:05:01.:05:06.

knives and knuckle-dusters. Among the 21 recommendations there is one

:05:07.:05:10.

of the Scottish Government to look at whether the law should be changed

:05:11.:05:14.

to make it easier for teachers and school staff to search pupils about

:05:15.:05:18.

their consent. My colleague will accept that and also how everyone at

:05:19.:05:23.

Cults Academy has been remembering Bailey.

:05:24.:05:24.

A memorial tree for Bailey Gwynne, the Wellow, a powerful symbol of

:05:25.:05:35.

recovery, something that pupils and staff here at Cults Academy working

:05:36.:05:40.

on. Memories of October 28 last year still fresh. I remember a lot of

:05:41.:05:47.

confusion, I was in an English class overlooking the car park, after the

:05:48.:05:50.

incident there were a lot of rumours going around, as you could imagine,

:05:51.:05:55.

nobody could have predicted that from a stab wound, I remember

:05:56.:05:58.

somebody saying it was a bleeding nose and then we heard sirens and

:05:59.:06:03.

ten police cars turning up outside the car parks so when all that was

:06:04.:06:07.

happening no one knew what had actually happened and there was a

:06:08.:06:13.

lot of confusion. Then the devastating news that Bailey had

:06:14.:06:17.

died and then the questions, had his killer brought knives to school

:06:18.:06:22.

before? At his trial we heard he had but West Africa where? There was an

:06:23.:06:26.

incident when he was the second year when I had to interview him, as with

:06:27.:06:32.

school procedure, myself and another member of management met with him

:06:33.:06:35.

and he emptied all his bags and possessions and we had a discussion

:06:36.:06:40.

with him. He was well aware of the consequences and the school rule and

:06:41.:06:44.

indeed the legal situation about carrying weapons and did not give us

:06:45.:06:49.

any reason to think that he did not understand that. Did it happen more

:06:50.:06:56.

than once? Not with us. What happened at this school is

:06:57.:06:59.

thankfully very rare but the reporters calling for changes to the

:07:00.:07:02.

law which would allow teachers to search pupils without consent.

:07:03.:07:22.

It is being considered but some do not agree. We think it would

:07:23.:07:25.

undermine the teacher- pupil relationship, undermine trust, it

:07:26.:07:27.

would be almost like being a prison order and not a teacher, if

:07:28.:07:30.

incidents arose it could possibly escalate them. And away from the

:07:31.:07:32.

glare of publicity surrounding the report today the family and friends

:07:33.:07:34.

of Bailey Gwynne are quietly finalising plans for a stained glass

:07:35.:07:37.

window in his memory. The life and death of the gentle, considered

:07:38.:07:39.

young man forever woven into the fabric of the school. Reporting

:07:40.:07:45.

Scotland, Aberdeen. Tell us about some of the other recommendations in

:07:46.:07:47.

the report. Some are specific to Aberdeen City

:07:48.:07:55.

Council, from now on any weapon found in an Aberdeenshire School

:07:56.:08:01.

will be reported to police. Some recommendations are wider, they

:08:02.:08:04.

include, whether anything more can be done to stop children or young

:08:05.:08:08.

people from buying weapons online. We know that Bailey Gwynne's killer

:08:09.:08:12.

bought knives and other weapons online. The queries about whether

:08:13.:08:20.

this can be stopped, never mind curtailed. Police Scotland said

:08:21.:08:25.

today that since this incident at Cults Academy last October 15 might

:08:26.:08:29.

incidents have been reported in Aberdeen schools. The basic message

:08:30.:08:34.

from today is, changes can be made, laws can be changed but ultimately

:08:35.:08:38.

it comes down to getting the message across to pupils and parents that

:08:39.:08:39.

the taking of weapons, including across to pupils and parents that

:08:40.:08:44.

knives into schools, is just not acceptable. Thank you, Steve and

:08:45.:08:46.

death, in Aberdeen. The number of murders

:08:47.:08:48.

in Scotland has fallen again, according to official

:08:49.:08:50.

statistics just released. In the year to the end

:08:51.:08:52.

of March, 57 victims of homicide were recorded,

:08:53.:08:56.

down five on the previous That's more than half

:08:57.:08:58.

the figure nine years ago. Only one of those cases remained

:08:59.:09:01.

unsolved. Obese children are five times more

:09:02.:09:07.

likely to become obese adults. So it is a concern when a new

:09:08.:09:16.

figures show that in recent years more than in ten children have

:09:17.:09:22.

started primary school in Scotland are overweight or obese.

:09:23.:09:24.

The statistics come from Cancer Research UK

:09:25.:09:25.

which is urging the the government to do more to tackle the problem.

:09:26.:09:28.

What colour? Mother of three Kirsty Thomas and wants to make sure that

:09:29.:09:39.

her children eat healthily. She found herself four stone overweight

:09:40.:09:44.

after consuming too much convenience food and sugary snacks. It was when

:09:45.:09:49.

I was in soft play with my eldest son for his third birthday I sat

:09:50.:09:57.

down and my jeans ripped and it is a wake up call, I was really upset and

:09:58.:10:01.

could not look at myself in the middle. She now weighs a much

:10:02.:10:05.

healthier limestone but that is not the case of everyone. Cancer

:10:06.:10:10.

Research UK says Scotland has one of the heaviest populations in Europe.

:10:11.:10:15.

It says over the last decade almost 83,000 children have started school

:10:16.:10:20.

either overweight or obese. Now the charity wants the Scottish

:10:21.:10:23.

Government to take direct action by restricting the billboard

:10:24.:10:27.

advertising of junk food and cutting multi-buy and sensible markets. And

:10:28.:10:32.

cancer prevention specialists say action is needed right now. We know

:10:33.:10:38.

overweight or obesity is linked to 13 types of cancer cell unless we

:10:39.:10:42.

help those children to become healthier in the future will have

:10:43.:10:46.

more overweight obese adults and that's a real worry. The Scottish

:10:47.:10:50.

Government says it will consider taking action where it has the power

:10:51.:10:55.

to do so. We would give consideration to the multi-byte. We

:10:56.:10:59.

will look at that as part of the obesity strategy going forward,

:11:00.:11:03.

we've already begun to but some consideration onto that but there is

:11:04.:11:07.

obviously very limited advertising powers that we have, we could do

:11:08.:11:14.

things around billboards in the cinema but TV advertising, the UK

:11:15.:11:17.

Government needs to do that. Ministers want all parents to help

:11:18.:11:20.

their children eat healthily. On that, they say there is much more to

:11:21.:11:24.

do. Andrew Black, Reporting Scotland.

It's an important night for the national football team

:11:28.:11:30.

and their chances of qualifying for the World Cup in Russia in 2018.

:11:31.:11:34.

Scotland drew 1-1 at home against Lithuania at Hampden on Saturday,

:11:35.:11:38.

which meant that we dropped points. So the Scots can't afford to lose

:11:39.:11:42.

away to Slovakia tonight. Our reporter Alasdair

:11:43.:11:44.

Lamont is there. They can't afford to lose! The team

:11:45.:11:51.

has just been announced that the game. The big news is that Darren

:11:52.:11:57.

Fletcher has passed a fitness test he had this morning. He will again

:11:58.:12:01.

captain the side. Some changes to the line-up, Kieran Tierney at

:12:02.:12:07.

left-back, James McArthur who scored the equaliser against Lithuania

:12:08.:12:10.

starts and Steven Fletcher plays up front. Gordon Strachan ringing the

:12:11.:12:15.

changes to some extent after dropping points against Lithuania, a

:12:16.:12:19.

result that has led to some criticism of the Scotland manager.

:12:20.:12:22.

Gordon Strachan committed himself to the jobs for this World Cup

:12:23.:12:23.

campaign. Convinced that despite failing to

:12:24.:12:32.

reach the university could take the team to Russia 2018. Yet after just

:12:33.:12:36.

two games into qualifying questions have been asked about his desire to

:12:37.:12:41.

continue the task. Gordon Strachan doesn't want to be there any more as

:12:42.:12:45.

Scotland manager. I think his comments in the summer were

:12:46.:12:52.

appalling. He said that Scotland was a nation of scared footballers! And

:12:53.:12:57.

I think the impact that would have had on the players at that time,

:12:58.:13:02.

they would have been totally disgruntled. Fans began to question

:13:03.:13:07.

some of Gordon Strachan 's decisions but other players doing the same? I

:13:08.:13:13.

think Gordon Strachan and his players have a good relationship. I

:13:14.:13:16.

think what he says to the media and what he says in house will be two

:13:17.:13:21.

very different things. I just think sometimes the way he portrays

:13:22.:13:25.

himself in the media, at press conferences, does not India him to

:13:26.:13:30.

the fans of the media but he knows that, but it doesn't endear him.

:13:31.:13:33.

He's been in the game long enough. That is the thing. As Scotland seek

:13:34.:13:40.

to restore the positivity they meet a nation of a similar size although

:13:41.:13:44.

that is when the similarities end. When it comes to footballing

:13:45.:13:50.

superstars Slovakia have the experience of Marek Hamsik, Robert

:13:51.:13:54.

Snodgrass, arguably the top man for Scotland, doesn't have the same

:13:55.:13:59.

pedigree. Slovakia made the last 16 of the Euros in the summer and 2% of

:14:00.:14:04.

the 2010 World Cup. Scotland, as if anyone needed a reminder, haven't

:14:05.:14:09.

been near an international competition since 1998. What are

:14:10.:14:14.

Slovakia doing right? I think the good generation. Players who are now

:14:15.:14:20.

in the national team almost ten years, many players started very

:14:21.:14:28.

young, and another generation has kept going and qualified twice.

:14:29.:14:32.

Perhaps these Scotland fans should not fret too much, that opponents

:14:33.:14:39.

have started the campaign poorly with important players either

:14:40.:14:43.

injured or excluded for indiscipline. Neither side going

:14:44.:14:47.

into the match in great battle, Slovakia struggled when I saw them

:14:48.:14:50.

in Slovenia on Saturday and clearly Scotland did not get the result they

:14:51.:14:54.

were before against Lithuania. Both sides will have to be better tonight

:14:55.:14:58.

to get the victory. Neither side can afford to lose the match. If there

:14:59.:15:03.

is a loser they are already out of contention for second place in the

:15:04.:15:06.

World Cup qualifiers which they are looking forward to at least get a

:15:07.:15:11.

play-off place in the World Cup in Russia 2018. Gordon Strachan says

:15:12.:15:15.

they need a big away result. Could it come to light? Listen to BBC

:15:16.:15:22.

radio Scotland's coverage, it's already started with Leah McLeod and

:15:23.:15:25.

Steven Thompson. Thank you very much.

The fatal stabbing of Bailey Gwynne at an Aberdeen school

:15:32.:15:35.

was "potentially predictable and avoidable", an inquiry finds.

:15:36.:15:36.

We meet the great grandmother who has Alzheimers and has

:15:37.:15:52.

Even though it's running six months late and hasn't been finished yet,

:15:53.:15:55.

the Queensferry Crossing has set a new world record.

:15:56.:15:58.

Officials from the Guinness Book of Records have been

:15:59.:16:01.

to the bridge over the Forth and confirmed the honour.

:16:02.:16:03.

Our reporter, Cameron Buttle, has been to see what the record is for.

:16:04.:16:10.

They are incredibly proud of the record on this bridge for the

:16:11.:16:17.

longest free-standing balanced structure anywhere in the world ever

:16:18.:16:22.

made. Basically, it's like a massive see saw centred around that tower in

:16:23.:16:25.

the centre section here of the bridge. Over here, this is the south

:16:26.:16:30.

side of the bridge, but what is really quite unnerving, right here

:16:31.:16:34.

on the very, very end of this section is, there is the water down

:16:35.:16:40.

there. You can see how much we are moving up-and-down. When the wind

:16:41.:16:44.

really picks up, it can move a meter, a meter-and-a-half. Of

:16:45.:16:47.

course, the record will not stand for very long because this 230mm gap

:16:48.:16:53.

will be closed. That means that the record is gone, because it's no

:16:54.:16:57.

longer a free-standing structure. Right now the record-breaking centre

:16:58.:17:01.

deck team can brag across the gap to their colleagues on the southern

:17:02.:17:05.

deck. The record was for central tower, South Tower can't take much

:17:06.:17:09.

of the plaudit for that. Very good for the team. It's great to be able

:17:10.:17:13.

to talk to the guys face-to-face rather than pick up the phone or the

:17:14.:17:16.

radio you will a the time. Great to be so close. The bridge was meant to

:17:17.:17:21.

be opened by this December, delays and bad weather have meant setbacks

:17:22.:17:26.

to the project. Nearly 40 days lost between June and September. The

:17:27.:17:29.

Scottish Government is confident it will now be finished in May next

:17:30.:17:33.

year. After today there will be eight pieces of deck to come up.

:17:34.:17:37.

There is very important work to be done in terms of the wind shielding.

:17:38.:17:42.

It should mean it should never be closed for high winds as the current

:17:43.:17:48.

Forth Bridge is. We have to put a structure, tarmac, on the structure

:17:49.:17:50.

itself. That has to be waterproof. That will be happening at a

:17:51.:17:53.

difficult time of the year. We understand that. We always said we

:17:54.:17:58.

are at the mercy of the weather. The contractors are ensuring us it will

:17:59.:18:03.

be finished in May next year. Potentially tough times ahead this

A great grandmother who has Alzheimers has become a first time

Joan Porter worked as a children's nurse and first invented her stories

:20:58.:21:02.

Half a century later, two of her stories have been published,

:21:03.:21:05.

Our arts correspondent, Pauline McLean, has been to meet her.

:21:06.:21:12.

This is a story can about the power of storytelling and how a good tale

:21:13.:21:20.

can last a lifetime. It began when Joan Porter was a young nurse on the

:21:21.:21:25.

other hand a children's ward. When I was on night duty and the children,

:21:26.:21:33.

you would get new children in and upset, needing their mum, I would

:21:34.:21:39.

find out if they had pets or, you know, their favourite animal. I

:21:40.:21:43.

would just make up a story there and then. I would say... "Now, I've only

:21:44.:21:51.

told you the first chapter, if you get over to sleep, I'll tell you the

:21:52.:21:57.

rest tomorrow." Joan's children, grandchildren and great

:21:58.:21:59.

grandchildren have groan up with her stories. They didn't realise until

:22:00.:22:03.

recently that she'd written them all down in the hope of one day

:22:04.:22:07.

publishing them. It was a lady who comes in here to do storytelling, in

:22:08.:22:12.

this place where mum lives, she had said to mum, these are wonderful,

:22:13.:22:15.

you should really think about getting them published. She actually

:22:16.:22:19.

typed up all mum's hand written stories. When I found them, mum had

:22:20.:22:25.

said, "someone kindly typed up my stories." I said, this is a sign, we

:22:26.:22:28.

should really do something with them. So they found a publisher and

:22:29.:22:34.

although the books are for the three to seven age group they have been

:22:35.:22:38.

equally important for Joan who has Alzheimer's. It helps with the sense

:22:39.:22:44.

of identity. The thing that mostly people in that frame of mind they

:22:45.:22:49.

miss is who they are. You know, and it helps them feel, oh, yes, I'm the

:22:50.:22:55.

person who wrote this book. Since her late career as an author, Joan

:22:56.:22:59.

has received many messages of support as well as requests to

:23:00.:23:06.

appear at book festivals. The end. APPLAUSE

Using a hay bale as a unicycle, pedalling over a cottage

Danny MacAskill shot to internet fame in 2009 when he started posting

his bike stunts on the web. Since then he has featured in music videos

and promotional campaigns. That's nuts!

:23:41.:23:50.

When you see something like that, I don't know how he does it. We showed

:24:13.:24:16.

MacAskill. You can't ride on a house like that. The things he does on a

:24:17.:24:22.

bike is something else. It's crazy. I wish I could do that, you know.

:24:23.:24:28.

It's not simple though. Even professionals can be defeated by

:24:29.:24:32.

gravity. The solution - pick yourself up, get back in the saddle

:24:33.:24:39.

and keep trying. Ahhhh! Well as Danny MacAskill's skills the film

shows the Scottish countryside at its best, if not its most relaxing.

Tonight, how do we deal with pupils who bring knives to school? An

inquiry into the death of Bailey Quinn recommended that teachers be

given the power to search pupils without their consent. Teachers say,

no, that is a matter for the police. We'll debate tonight 10.30pm on BBC
