Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
There's been a threefold rise in children being trafficked | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
into Scotland, with the highest numbers from Vietnam. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
The BBC has also learnt that seven children subsequently | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
disappeared from care, thought to have been taken | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
has been to meet some of those who've been trafficked. | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
This boy was sent to Scotland in the lorry when he was 15. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
As part of the journey, he remembers walking | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
When he arrived, he had no idea what country | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
TRANSLATION: In the early days, my mind was full | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
Two of the Vietnamese boys he was with then disappeared. | :00:51. | :01:00. | |
Because those two fled, I was even more scared. | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
Figures obtained by the BBC show that over | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
100 children have been trafficked into Scotland in the past six years, | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
and more than half of them came from Vietnam. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
A quarter have been forced to work in cannabis plantations, | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
More than 10% became domestic slaves behind closed doors. | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
Others are on our high streets, forced to work in | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
I think it is a growing problem because of the refugee | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
It is the tip of the iceberg, because we only see those | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
lucky enough to escape will be rescued from a situation. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
There are probably a lot of children we don't | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
know about that are being exploited in different situations. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
For those trafficked into Scotland, the | :02:00. | :02:00. | |
nightmare does not necessarily end once they escape. | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
Seven Vietnamese children have since disappeared, | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
thought to have been abducted by the very gangs | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
That includes a 15-year-old, feared to have been abducted in Glasgow | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
This boy's parents died when he was ten. | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
A gang found him and forced to work a shoeshine boy. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
They then put him into the back of a lorry. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
We cannot show his face because he lives in fear of the | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
TRANSLATION: A person brought a gun to threaten me. | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
He asked me to stay inside, not make any noise. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
If someone hears me inside, they would | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
They said if I don't work, they would kill me. | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
Scotland is a long way from Vietnam, but experts | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
say the global refugee crisis means the numbers trafficked here will | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
continue to rise, and that more support is required to ensure that | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
once rescued these children do not go missing again. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
A drink-driver has admitted causing the death of a woman in a crash, | :03:07. | :03:16. | |
as she returned home from her son's wedding. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Fifty-seven-year-old Marie Laurie had just got into a taxi | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
with her husband, when it was hit by a car being chased | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Today the High Court in Glasgow heard that the driver, | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
21 year old Steven Bennie, was travelling at eighty miles | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
Steven Bennie, in the suit, was 20 years old in November last year, | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
with only a provisional licence when, after drinking enough with | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
friends to put him over the drink-drive limit, he refused to | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
stop when police tried to pull him over. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Marie Laurie had just got into | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
a taxi with her husband, on their way home from her son's wedding. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
The court heard that after Steven Bennie, | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
who was driving in an Astra, sped off from the police coming | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
switched off his headlights and was driving at | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
In the taxi, James was handing his wife, Marie Laurie, | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
the flowers she had been given at the wedding. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
When Steven Bennie's car hit the taxi, it did so with | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
such impact that the taxi spun round. | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Marie Laurie lost consciousness a few minutes later | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
and despite the actions of the lease and paramedics, she died. | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
Her husband survived but sustained multiple injuries including rib | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
fractures and a laceration to his liver. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Marie Laurie's family were | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
clearly shocked when they heard the speed that | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
I thought maybe 60 mph, but it set the | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
whole family back when we heard that. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
It was his wedding that Marie Laurie had been at. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
The family are pleased that Steven Bennie has | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
admitted his guilt and they can be left to grieve. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Marie Laurie was a much loved mother, stepmother, | :05:04. | :05:04. | |
My mum was just a very genuine woman. | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
Steven Bennie was remanded in custody and will be sentenced | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
The judge told him he will be given a prison sentence. | :05:22. | :05:37. | |
Edinburgh council has ordered a survey of its buildings, | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
following the closure of seventeen schools earlier this year | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
Half a million pounds has been set aside for the checks on buildings | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
constructed at about the same time as the schools. | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
It started with the collapse of this wall, and similar construction flaws | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
were discovered at other PFI schools in Edinburgh. | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
Repairs done, pupils back in class, Edinburgh Council have now ordered a | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
survey of other city buildings to check whether the problems are more | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
The surveys will focus on building is built around the same | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
time using a similar design model as the ones where problems have been | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
The council are refusing to say exactly which buildings | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
engineers will be looking at, but there are dozens on the list. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
Described as precautionary, ?500,000 has been set aside for work | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
councillors hope will reveal nothing new. | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
You can't rule it out and that | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
is the reason for the survey, although so far the buildings are | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
Nevertheless, it seems prudent, having discovered | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
problems in the school buildings, to look at others with a similar | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
design, to satisfy ourselves they are completely safe. | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
Last month a BBC investigation revealed | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
construction defects at schools elsewhere in Scotland. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
This architect believes others should | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
follow Edinburgh's decision to look beyond the school estate. | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
The incredible thing that Fiona Walker's | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
investigation threw up was the extent, the possible extent | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
of how many failings there are potentially | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
The surveys are expected to take a few months. | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
All the while, an independent enquiry | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
into the school closures continues, with a report due by the end of the | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Rangers striker Kenny Miller has been arrested in connection | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
with an alleged disturbance at a restaurant | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
The incident happened at | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Da Luciano in Bothwell on Saturday the 10th of September - | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
hours after Rangers lost 5-1 to Celtic. | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Police Scotland confirmed that a 36-year-old man had been arrested | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
and was the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal. | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
Let's get the weather outlook for tonight | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
Thank you very much. Good evening. And unsettled weekend of whether to | :08:06. | :08:18. | |
come. Tonight looks cloudy with further pulses of rain. Heavy and | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
persistent rain across the North West especially and a windy night | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
for all of us with strong, if not deal force southerly winds. Cloudy | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
tomorrow, that rain keeps coming from the north-west. Gradually | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
extending its way that bit further south and east. A Met Office yellow | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
bee aware warning in force in the west throughout most of the day | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
tomorrow due to be persisted and heavy nature of that rain. Some | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
localised flooding possible. Hazardous driving conditions and | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
those winds still strong and some destruction to ferry services | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
likely. We do have some shelter with some drier, brighter conditions | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
across the likes of the borders in towards Edinburgh. North Aberdeen | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
shire and the Moray coast and given any brightness in the sunshine, | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
temperatures will rise to around 19 Celsius here. Very much the | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
exception to the rule, however, most of us cloudy and rainy. A clearance | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
coming into words the Western Isles and sky towards the end of the | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
afternoon. The wind is beginning to ease here too. Across the far North | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
East at the Northern Isles, rather cloudy skies. Any rain we do seek | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
you will be light and the wind will remain strong to gale force. For the | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
rest of the UK tomorrow, that rain continues to track its way to | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
Northern Ireland, eventually reaching the South West of England, | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
possibly Wales. Further south and east of here, with that warm, | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
southerly airflow, temperatures will be well above average for the time | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
of year. And first Saturday evening and night coming eventually that | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
rain clears way to the east and the winds will ease will stop on Sunday, | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
it looks showery. That is the forecast. | :09:59. | :09:59. | |
From everyone on the late team here in Glasgow | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
and around the country, goodnight. | :10:03. | :10:04. |
