Thousands of children in Edinburgh are preparing to return to school | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
buildings deemed unsafe following the collapse of a wall | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
While those buildings are now fixed, a BBC Scotland investigation has | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
found at least 30 schools across the country have had | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
Fiona Walker has been meeting families affected. | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
We were getting ready for school one morning and we have the radio on. | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
They got a text saying there had been school damage | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
I thought I would pass and see what was happening. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
I stopped the car in the middle of the road, I was so shocked. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
This pile of rubble weighs more than a ton and lies in the exact | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
spot where Julia stands with her son waiting for the school day to start. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
If it had happened during the day it would have been | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
You actually try not to think about it because it is such | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
Parents were told wall ties, like these sticking | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
They hold the wall together and connect them | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
It turned out all 17 schools built under the same private finance deal | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
in Edinburgh had some of these faults, so they were too | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
The last of the repairs have now been finished in time for the school | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
These are pictures we have not seen before of inside the cavity walls | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
We asked an expert what he thought of them. | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
I would suggest it is not only contravening standard practice, | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
I would suggest some of these things are very worrying indeed. | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
BBC Scotland has discovered at least 30 schools across the country have | :02:03. | :02:17. | |
had wall or header tie defects that have had to be fixed over | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
17 in Edinburgh that we already know about. | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
There are eight more schools in South Lanarkshire had to install | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
additional wall ties to ensure that the outside wall | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
At five more schools, the impact was far greater. | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
An investigation into the Edinburgh schools | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
The Council there says the defects may not just be in schools, | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
they are checking every public building built the same way. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
It might be that this is a national issue that has to be tackled | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
in terms of how you supervise the works going on, how | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
We have just tried to make sure that Edinburgh schools | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
However, it depends on what the inquiry says. | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
For now, children in Edinburgh have been reinsurer | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
They believe that their walls are surely the safest in the country. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
At the Olympics, Laura Muir is in final of the 1,500m | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
while Eilidh Doyle goes in semi of 400m hurdles later. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
But away from the athletes, there's another group of people | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
helping to ensure the Rio Games are a success. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Hello and welcome to the 2016 real Olympics! They have added colour and | :03:34. | :03:52. | |
noise to these Olympics. -- Rio but the volunteers play a vital role. | :03:53. | :04:01. | |

Commonwealth Games in 2014 so I got the volunteer blog from that. I was | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
on Facebook and there remember someone said Rio applications are | :04:19. | :04:19. | |
open and I thought why not. It has someone said Rio applications are | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
been fantastic. It has exceeded my expectations because I had seen | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
quite negative stuff but I have just loved every minute of it here. And | :04:32. | :04:44. | |
