:00:13. > :00:18.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland - We're live at the former RAF base
:00:18. > :00:26.at Kinloss, which is to get a new lease of life. Nearly a thousand
:00:26. > :00:32.soldiers and their families are to move in.
:00:32. > :00:35.They died at the hands of those who should have cared for them. Now
:00:35. > :00:41.there's a warning that babies in Scotland are more likely to be
:00:41. > :00:43.abused or killed than older children. Why does the First
:00:44. > :00:46.Minister not just get on with it? Ruth Davidson takes the fight to
:00:46. > :00:48.the First Minister on her Holyrood debut as Scottish Conservative
:00:48. > :00:51.leader. A poignant reminder from the First
:00:51. > :01:01.World War. A Scottish soldier saved a poppy on his last day in the
:01:01. > :01:06.trenches. It is all the memories that that poppy signify eyes. It is
:01:06. > :01:10.something that is going to live forever.
:01:10. > :01:13.The former RAF base at Kinloss in Moray is to become the home to
:01:13. > :01:15.nearly a thousand soldiers and their families. The news has been
:01:15. > :01:19.welcomed by the local community who'd been concerned about the
:01:19. > :01:27.impact of the closure of the airbase earlier this year. Our
:01:27. > :01:32.reporter Craig Anderson is at Kinloss tonight.
:01:32. > :01:35.It was a devastating shock for this area when it was announced in the
:01:36. > :01:41.Strategic Defence Review last year that this base was surplus to
:01:41. > :01:44.requirements and as many as 1580 F and civilian jobs would be going.
:01:44. > :01:48.There was a potential lifeline thrown out at that point that some
:01:48. > :01:53.are made jobs would be coming here with the transferor personnel in
:01:53. > :01:59.the future, but that was vague. Today's announcement is much more
:01:59. > :02:04.than many people in this community could have hoped for.
:02:04. > :02:08.The decision to scrap the new Nimrod programme before this I
:02:08. > :02:12.planes were even flown in anger sounded the death-knell for up RAF
:02:13. > :02:16.Kinloss. The air force came here at the start of the Second World War
:02:16. > :02:26.and there was sadness and anger in the local community that such a
:02:26. > :02:29.
:02:29. > :02:34.small local bond was being broken. -- strong local bond. Today's use
:02:34. > :02:38.meant more or wife for this area. This will fill the huge gap that
:02:38. > :02:45.people were worried about and will mean people can be transferred as
:02:45. > :02:49.soon as possible. Army engineers or transferred from Cambridge are to
:02:49. > :02:56.Kinloss next summer, two years earlier than expected. Opposition
:02:56. > :03:02.MPs remain critical of the scale of cutbacks in Scotland. We're
:03:02. > :03:08.concerned at the drop and personnel. It is 41% less than the full
:03:08. > :03:14.complement at Kinloss. Business confidence has been badly dented by
:03:14. > :03:21.the uncertainty over the base. Today's decision promises a much
:03:21. > :03:25.brighter future. Hospitality sector will grow and the retail sector
:03:25. > :03:31.will recover. Confidence will be gained and will hopefully let us
:03:31. > :03:38.move on. Even the RAF seem relieved at the Army regiment taking their
:03:38. > :03:43.place. The Royal engineers also have a special relationship and I
:03:43. > :03:50.have no doubt that will continue. There is anger and sadness in
:03:51. > :03:54.Cambridgeshire at the move. Their loss is Scotland's gain. What is
:03:54. > :04:04.particularly significant is that this will be no revolving-door army
:04:04. > :04:04.
:04:04. > :04:09.garrison. It will be the permanent home of their 39 Engineer Regiment.

:04:17. > :04:24.bringing their families with them and that is great news for schools

:04:28. > :04:31.Babies in Scotland are more likely to be abused or killed than older
:04:31. > :04:33.children - according to the NSPCC. The charity says the greatest risk
:04:33. > :04:35.is from parents with substance abuse or mental health problems.
:04:35. > :04:39.Julie Peacock is here with the details.
:04:39. > :04:44.This survey reveals some startling information. Babies in Scotland are
:04:44. > :04:51.12 times more likely to be killed than older children. In the past
:04:51. > :04:54.ten years, 27 babies have been killed. While these are the most
:04:54. > :04:56.serious cases and are fortunately rare, the NSPCC says it illustrates
:04:56. > :05:06.the wider problem of abuse and neglect which could affect
:05:06. > :05:10.thousands of babies in Scotland. They were murdered by those who
:05:10. > :05:16.were supposed to care. Alexis Matheson was just six weeks old
:05:16. > :05:21.when she was killed by her mother's boyfriend in Aberdeen. This boy was
:05:21. > :05:26.shaken to death by his father at his home in Edinburgh. This girl
:05:26. > :05:31.died after months of abuse at the hands of her mother's boyfriend.
:05:31. > :05:37.The NSPCC says that if you want to stop more cases like this, were
:05:37. > :05:42.vulnerable families need more help. We know families with mental abuse
:05:42. > :05:45.-- mental health and substance abuse problems are more at risk. We
:05:45. > :05:49.would like to call on the government as well as professionals
:05:49. > :05:54.to get behind this campaign to make sure all babies are safe. One of
:05:54. > :06:00.the most shocking cases in recent years was that of Brandon you're.
:06:00. > :06:04.Killed by his mother's partner. Social workers knew if his mother
:06:04. > :06:09.was a drug addict with a chaotic lifestyle. The government says it

:06:13. > :06:17.fall through the net. All the recommendations made are already
:06:17. > :06:21.being taken for a by this government in some shape off-form.
:06:21. > :06:25.The key to our agenda is driving forward preventative spend and
:06:25. > :06:29.getting the right services at the right time for these vulnerable
:06:29. > :06:34.children and their families. government is behind this pilot
:06:34. > :06:39.project to provide new parents with a family nurse. It is hoped it can
:06:39. > :06:42.teach parenting skills and improve life chances. The NSPCC says these
:06:42. > :06:46.projects need to be rolled out across got on to give children a
:06:46. > :06:49.better start than life. The charity is pointing out that the problem is
:06:49. > :06:54.more widespread than we might think. One in five babies is living with a
:06:54. > :06:58.parent at high risk of depression. That's almost 12,500 babies. And
:06:58. > :07:04.one in 12 have fathers who drink hazardous levels of alcohol. That
:07:04. > :07:07.means more than 4,500 babies are affected. While many of these
:07:07. > :07:10.babies will be treated well, the risk of harm or neglect is much
:07:10. > :07:20.higher and that's why the NSPCC is asking for more help for these
:07:20. > :07:23.

:22:00. > :22:04.teams will be competing in the same event as the men. At it is a new
