Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight. A serial killer or the | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
victim of a miscarriage of justice? A BBC investigation has uncovered | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
evidence that casts doubt over the conviction of Scots nurse Colin | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Norris. Stabbed. The man set upon by a gang | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
of thieves who were trying to steal his neighbour's car. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
The football legend backing new research which could help millions | :00:33. | :00:39. | |

worries for Craig Levein ahead of Scotland's remaining Euro | :00:41. | :00:50. | |
qualifiers. A BBC investigation has uncovered | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
evidence that could cast doubt over the conviction of a Glasgow-born | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
nurse serving life for the murders of four elderly patients. In total, | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Colin Norris was found guilty of poisoning five patients with | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
insulin at two hospitals in Leeds. But new evidence has cast serious | :01:03. | :01:13. | |
:01:13. | :01:14. | ||
doubt over those convictions. Mark He was described as an Angel of | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Death who murdered his Patients in cold blood. But Colin Norris has | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
always protested his innocence. am putting it clear that you | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
:01:34. | :01:44. | ||
But after a five-month trial, he was convicted of four murders and | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
one attempted murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison. The strength | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
of the case was that Colin Norris was on shift when a five different | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
women suffered extremely low blood sugar leading to hypoglycaemic | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
failure. But at least four of the woman could have died naturally and | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
that highs -- and that spontaneous hypoglycaemia is much more common | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
than the jury were led to believe her. I was surprised at how very | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
common it is in this particular group of elderly, sick people. In | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
one very detailed survey, thousands of patients, it was up to 10%. It | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
is not that unusual. Looking at all of the evidence, all I can say is | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
that I think his conviction is unsafe. They BBC has uncovered | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
evidence of similar cases of hypoglycaemia that occurred in the | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
hospital where Colin Norris worked, but a while he was off-duty. | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
lawyer believes there were serious flaws in the investigation. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
only cherry-picked those investigations when Colin Norris | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
was on duty and ignored the others. A West Yorkshire Police spokesman | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
said that Colin Norris was convicted, prosecuted and sentence | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
based on evidence produced in court, but new evidence has given Colin | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Norris's mother a glimmer of hope. I do believe that the system will | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
eventually prove there has been a miscarriage of justice and he will | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
be a free man. However long it takes, I do, I have got to believe | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
that that will happen. And a application to hear a French appeal | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
is to be submitted to the Criminal Cases Review Commission. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
And you can see more of Mark Daly's investigation in Hospital Serial | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
A Jury In The Dark tonight on BBC1 Scotland at 10.35. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Police are treating as attempted murder an attack on a man who tried | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
to stop his neighbour's car being stolen. The 57-year-old was stabbed | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
in the assault involving three men outside his home in Coatbridge. | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
Detectives say he's lucky to be alive. Aileen Clarke reports. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
This is a leafy and quiet area. When a couple living here heard | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
some lies at the back of the House yesterday morning, it was unusual. | :04:18. | :04:28. | |
:04:28. | :04:30. | ||
-- summer noise. Ian Howson Went out to see what happened. He saw a | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
:04:40. | :04:49. | ||
man across the road are breaking into his neighbour's car. The man | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
turned round, approached him and assaulted him. At that time, he was | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
joined by two other men and the three of them assaulted Mr Howson | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
on the street behind us. He managed to get away, make his way back into | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
his own garden here. But not content on the assault they carried | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
out on the street, they carried the assault into the garden where he | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
sustained multiple stab wounds. He is actually very lucky man that | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
he was not killed. Neighbours and colleagues cannot | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
believe what has happened to him. Everybody is shocked to learn about | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
what has happened to him. He is a very popular and conscientious | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
teacher and makes an enormous contribution with in our department. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
Be it is a horrific attack on a man who was on the protecting his own | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
and his neighbour's property. Something which I am sure most | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
members of the public would also do. Police are looking for three men, | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
aged around 20. They believe they could be responsible for a number | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
of attempted break-ins in the area as well as this horrific attack. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
A drug smuggling gang has been jailed for a total of 43 years for | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
importing and dealing cocaine worth up to �40 million. Ringleaders | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Keith Blenkinsop and Lindsay Harkins were sentenced to 12 years | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
and 10 years at the High Court in Edinburgh. Three couriers - Andrew | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Burns, Robert Dalrymple and James Elvin - were jailed for eight years, | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
seven years and six years. The men were convicted last month of | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
smuggling cocaine from Spain concealed in the lining of | :06:16. | :06:24. | |
suitcases. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :06:24. | :06:27. | |

netball's search for the superstars Scientists in Aberdeen are to find | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
ways of using stem cells to help repair or even stop the spread of | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
osteoarthritis. An estimated eight million people in the UK suffer | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
from the bone disease. Former Aberdeen and Scotland captain | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
Willie Miller, who suffers from the condition, is backing the study, as | :07:04. | :07:14. | |

Steven Duff reports. He camped and the successful | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
Aberdeen -- he captained the successful Aberdeen team in the | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
1980s. He had a tough career that eventually took its toll. He now | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
suffers from osteo arthritis. was a tackle the cost of the Oster | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
arthritis in my knee. Fortunately, it was later on in my career and | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
they managed to play with that for several years. He is now backing | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
the new research at Aberdeen University into how the body's own | :07:47. | :07:52. | |

hope they are some poor on the road to make the lives of sufferers of | :08:17. | :08:27. | |
:08:27. | :08:28. | ||
osteoarthritis that bit better. -- they are somewhere on the road. The | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
next generation of Aberdeen players a warm-up for our youth game this | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
afternoon. Any stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis is some way off | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
and treatment would only take place in early stages. Hopefully, | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
generations coming through, if the get osteoarthritis, it will be | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
detected early and treated early. Researchers are hoping they will be | :08:59. | :09:09. | |
:09:09. | :09:20. | ||
successful. Volunteers have given up try to rescue a whale beached on | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
the course of the South Uist. The wheel is now dying and a vet has | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
been brought in to try and keep it comfortable. | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
The NHS needs to offer more flexible working hours for female | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
hospital doctors or they will leave the profession. That's the warning | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
from the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. They say | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
that patient care could be affected if things don't change. Suzanne | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
Allan has the story. This consultant has been working as | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
a hospital doctor for over 20 years. When she started, there was no such | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
thing as flexible working. When I was training, flexible working was | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
not an option. With retrospect, it might have been something that I | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
would have pursued if it had been available. It was quite difficult | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
at that time. I am in no doubt that flexible working has been of | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
enormous benefit to both men and women. During the First World War, | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
:10:27. | :10:29. | ||
Scottish health pioneer LCD Ingle's cent teams to the front. Remember | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
still unusual in medicine, but times have changed. In the 1960s, | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
there were around 500 medical female students in the UK. Now | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
there are 5000. Traditionally, there have been more women working | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
as GPs, but with flexible working hours, hospital work is more | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
appealing. The colleges appealing on the NHS throughout Scotland and | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
the United Kingdom to try to be more flexible and creative to make | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
it easier for men and women. these students at Glasgow | :11:05. | :11:14. | |
University looking for a change? you change their hours just for | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
women, it will make women candidates less attractive postop a | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
I would like to be a surgeon at also have children, so if somebody | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
offered me flexible working hours, I would to take them. Should it be | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
:11:38. | :11:45. | ||
up to us for the organisations they work for to change? Fewer young | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
people would end up in the prison system if schools ended their | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
policy of exclusion according to the Chief Inspector of Prisons. | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
Brigadier Hugh Monro says that by the time young people are jailed, | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
it's already too late. He claims figures show more than 40% of young | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
offenders jailed for the first time then go on to reoffend. Publishing | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
his annual report, he also repeated his call for a national strategy on | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
sex offenders to improve their access to rehabilitation. | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
The parents of a young man from Glasgow who has not been seen since | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
leaving for college last week have made an emotional appeal for his | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
safe return. 20-year-old Jordan McGinty was last seen by his family | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
early last week as he was leaving for Cardonald College where he is | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
training to be an electrician. Police have appealed for anyone | :12:20. | :12:30. | |
:12:30. | :12:34. | ||
with information about Jordan to contact them. | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
Staff at the troubled Macau and sweet factory near Falkirk says the | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
work -- had been paid off. One hadn't three workers have lost | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
their job. A new plan to revive Gaelic has | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
been proposed with the aim of doubling the number of children | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
learning the language in the next five years. Over the past decade, | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
millions of pounds has been spent promoting Gaelic, but can money | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
time and effort really save endangered languages? Our education | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
correspondent Seonag MacKinnon has been to Condorrat primary in North | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
:13:14. | :13:20. | ||
Thanks to public money and more learned there's. You do feel | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
special because you can speak that language and no one else knows and | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
you can teach your friends are different words. When I started | :13:30. | :13:39. | |
school, I did not know what this word means and all that, but I just | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
started speaking it naturally. Children pick up the language as | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
they speak it while learning all the subjects they would in an | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
ordinary school. Today a report calling for a number of pupils | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
entering this kind of education to be doubled. It does not matter if | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
they have been educated in Gaelic or English, the course is similar. | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
There is no real extra cost in providing Gaelic children -- for | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
children. Scotland lags behind other Celtic countries. Less than | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
1% of Scots RN bilingual education, compared to 7% in Ireland. That | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
compares with a healthy 21 % in Wales. But do money and effort | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
really save endangered Languages? It has worked in many different | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
languages, the bask language in Spain, the Catalan language in | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
Spain, some government interventions happened here but it | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
is the will of the people that is vital to continue their own culture. | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
But with millions of pounds spent on Gaelic's devolution, some may | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
question whether more money should follow. | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
Glasgow is gearing up to stage this year's MOBO awards. The awards show | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
which ought -- honours Music of Black Origin this first stage in | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
the city two years ago. But it is not just the Dell and Tinie Tempah | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
who at in the running for prizes, Glasgow could benefit to the tune | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
:15:29. | :15:30. | ||
of �3 million. Tinie Tempah is just one of the | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
stars in the running for a prize or two get this year's MOBOs and | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
Glasgow has a lot to gain also. Not just from the immediate spend of | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
having these artists in town but having a wide profile event | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
broadcast and 75 countries. This bend of the MOBO is relatively | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
small but it is about Glasgow on an international stage. It helps | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
define what Glasgow is in people's minds said. That is reflected in | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
businesses across the city who say the event brings them marketing | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
opportunities as well as money. With the emergence of social | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
mediate you will have the ideas on the YouTube, on twitter and | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
Facebook which will mean there is more coverage and public coverage | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
as well. And with a quarter of a million people due to tune into the | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
TV coverage of the event, it is a bigger audience than ever, even if | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
some had their doubts when the MOBOs came to London. People asked | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
why Glasgow and we were petrified. Because it worked so well we have | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
now set the bar of really high, so we have to exceed expectations but | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
I am sure by what I have seen in the rehearsals we are all the way | :16:53. | :17:01. | |
there. All will be revealed shortly for this year's winners but with a | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
three-year deal to bring the USDAWs -- MOBO USDAW to Glasgow, it seems | :17:07. | :17:16. | |
we have already won. Craig Levein has the blues. He | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
certainly has. There is a growing injury list for | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Craig Levein to deal with their head of the European qualifying | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
matches. He is already sweating over the fitness of his top striker | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
but his captain is in doubt also against the gains in Liechtenstein | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
and Spain. The Scotland squad being put | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
through the paces but without some familiar faces. A certain striker | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
is still struggling. Scotland's top scorer has turned it on so often in | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
the past but after hobbling off at the weekend he remains a doubt but | :17:53. | :18:03. | |
:18:03. | :18:04. | ||
there is some hope. It is a case of the are hopeful for Saturday. But | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
certainly for Tuesday high hopes. Darren Fletcher of the Manchester | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
United Fielder has tonsilitis and will be assessed again tomorrow. He | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
will be given every chance to prove he can make it. Alan Houghton is | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
also a doubt. He did not train today. The injury worries do not | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
seem to be knocking confidence. We did be fair to say the squad go | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
into this double-header with more hope than expectation? I do not | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
think so. We expect and still believe that and hopefully the fans | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
will be the bid also. We believe we can qualify. If we go out and get | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
six points I believe that will get us in the play-off position. But he | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
will be available for the upcoming challenges? Plenty to ponder for | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
the Scotland manager. Col Bartley said he will play | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
anywhere to get backing the Rangers game, particularly with Dorin Goyan | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
and Carlos Bocanegra building a partnership in central defence. The | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
Arsenal defender has been missing since early August after undergoing | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
surgery on his groin. Bartley hopes he will return when Rangers face | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
Liverpool later this month. I am a team player and I am happy the team | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
has been doing well. I said when I first came here that I was not | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
going to start and I did not stop the first few games but they came | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
in midfield and I did well. If I have to play a different position | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
to get my place back, so be it. Celtic will be without Scott Brown | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
after he will undergo surgery on his damaged ankle. Brown has not | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
played since being substituted during his side's Old Firm defeat | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
last month with an aggravated injury. | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
Scottish sport's chief talent scout Tony's danger has turned his touch | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
for the next big thing to netball. Women over five foot 10 were | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
encouraged to apply for the Gold for Glasgow programme which has | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
recruited other athletes into other sports. We went to see if there are | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
any netball superstars out there. Meet the girls on the Gold for | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
Glasgow programme who think they have what it takes to play for | :20:27. | :20:37. | |
:20:37. | :20:48. | ||
Scotland. I am 23 years old. I am A series of physical Tests and a | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
mine said interview will determine whether the girls will be fast- | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
tracked into the national netball squads. The project is really for a | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
particular body type, athleticism. We are looking for taller athletes | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
to give them more opportunity to enter netball. On the international | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
arena. But it was international rugby which produced Scotland's | :21:14. | :21:24. | |

We believe in this project that we could have a girl who could be | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
qualify and go through to Glasgow 2014. All want to do that but there | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
is the potential for someone to do it. This former runner competed at | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
a cyclist at last year's Commonwealth Games. It is | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
unbelievable to think when I came here in 2009, if I thought back | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
then I was going to India, I have would not have believed anyone that | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
said I could do it. Having done it, it is achievable, it has been great. | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
Are the girls on target for 2014? They will find out in the next few | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
weeks. Good luck to the girls. | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
A charity planning to plant 200,000 trees on bleak moorland above | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
Dumbarton have unexpectedly revealed a wartime secret which | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
helped protect the town from the worst effects of German air raids. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
A bunker in the centre of the Lang Crags site was used to control | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
decoy lights which tricked air crews into dropping their bombs | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
harmlessly. We have been finding out more. | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
This rough moorland will soon be transformed by the planting of | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
200,000 trees, providing a wildlife haven and an amenity for locals but | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
:23:00. | :23:00. | ||
it was not always so tranquil. On 5th May, 1941, the Germans raided | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
Dunbar 10. Ecru sort explosions and fires on the ground. But they were | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
a sham, decoys created from a bunker. It appears many of the | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
German bombs dropped harmlessly onto the Lang Crags more which was | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
littered with debris when 11-year- old Bill cycled up the next morning. | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
As I turned into the farm, that large barn that was there was smoke | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
coming out the top of that and there were too big craters in this | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
field here. There was an unexploded bomb over another side of that wood | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
fair. The bunker is now derelict but the charity creating the new | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
woodland wants to use it as a way of telling the unusual history of | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
the sight. We think there was a control room and an engine room. | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
Out on the mores there were fires which were meant to assimilate a | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
:24:11. | :24:18. | ||
Dunbar turn itself was bombed. This tournament took a direct hit. | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
Devastating as it was to those involved, two months earlier, more | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
than 1,000 had died in Clydebank. 17 young trees are the first to be | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
planted in the new woodland. They represent the 17 people killed in | :24:32. | :24:42. | |
:24:42. | :24:43. | ||
the Dumbarton raids 70 years ago. Two the weather. | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
It looks like the weather will stay unsettled. It will be mild tomorrow | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
and then it will be cooler on and then it will be cooler on | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
Thursday and Friday and mild again on the weekend. Today we saw highs | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
of 15 Celsius in Aberdeen. Through the course of the night we will see | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
rain moving in. It will to try across eastern areas to begin with. | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
Showers continuing across the Shetland Isles and they will gather | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
as this depression moves in. It will be heavy across Argyll but on | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
the upside with increasing winds it will be mild with 10 or 11 Celsius | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
as the low. Tomorrow, not a pleasant picture. A lot of rain | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
around. Heavy again across Argyll and the south-west but through the | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
afternoon it will improve. The eastern side is not too bad. The | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
heaviest of the rain will be to the west. Temperatures of 16 and 17 | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
:25:54. | :25:54. | ||
Celsius. Further north, the rain stays heavy. Chilly with showers | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
across the Shetland Isles. An improving picture through the | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
afternoon. Brightness appearing across the north and east. Thursday, | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
quite a different picture. Wednesday's low-pressure scoops to | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
the North. A squeeze of isobars coming from the north-west. So it | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
is starting to turn cooler. Brisk winds. Temperatures starting to | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
fall, 12 or 13 Celsius. Frequent showers to the north-west. The best | :26:29. | :26:36. | |
of the brightness to the east. On Friday we see this area of high | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
pressure nudging in. But it looks like things will settle down. Still | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
feeling chilly but windy again across the North. | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
A summer of tonight's top stories: the BBC investigation has uncovered | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
evidence that could cast doubt over the conviction of a nurse serving | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
the conviction of a nurse serving life for the murders of four | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
elderly patients. Colin Norris was found guilty of poisoning five | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
patients with incident. New evidence has cast doubt over those | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
convictions. The American student Amanda Knox is | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
returning home to the US after an appeal court cleared her of | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
murdering her British flat mate Meredith Kercher four years ago. | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
Miss Kercher's family said they respected the decision but | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
questions about the manned -- murder remain. | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Police are treating as attempted murder an attack on a man who tried | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
to stop his neighbour's car being stolen. Detectives say the man is | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
lucky to be alive. And a pub landlady is hailing | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
victory in a legal case against the English Premier League, which could | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
