:00:15. > :00:21.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. Three-year-old Mikaeel Koolar is

:00:22. > :00:24.still missing. Despite a huge search involving hundreds of volunteers

:00:25. > :00:28.across land and sea, it's now nearly two full days since the last

:00:29. > :00:38.sighting of him. Police admit they're gravely concerned. It is

:00:39. > :00:44.entirely possible that he has left the house of his own accord and all

:00:45. > :00:50.of our actions are attempting to cover that possibility. It is

:00:51. > :00:53.however entirely possible that he has become subject to a criminal

:00:54. > :00:55.act. Police are also investigating an

:00:56. > :00:59.unconfirmed sighting. Also this evening: Guilty - James

:01:00. > :01:02.Dunleavy killed his own mother, cut her up, put her body parts in a

:01:03. > :01:05.suitcase and buried her in an Edinburgh beauty spot.

:01:06. > :01:08.Rangers deny they're heading towards administration, as the players

:01:09. > :01:14.reject a wage cut to stem heavy losses.

:01:15. > :01:16.And would you wear this tartan? Well, our athletes will at this

:01:17. > :01:22.summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. We have an exclusive peek.

:01:23. > :01:25.Hundreds of members of the public today joined the search for

:01:26. > :01:29.3-year-old Mikaeel Kular, who's been missing from his home in Edinburgh

:01:30. > :01:32.for nearly two days. But tonight police said they couldn't rule out

:01:33. > :01:39.the possibility that he'd been the victim of a criminal act. Earlier

:01:40. > :01:42.they said they were investigating a sighting of a small boy matching

:01:43. > :01:45.Mikaeel's description not far from his home in Ferry Gait Crescent. A

:01:46. > :01:49.motorist saw the boy, apparently alone, running along West Pilton

:01:50. > :01:52.Gardens at 8:30am yesterday morning. Our reporter Steven Godden is

:01:53. > :02:01.outside Mikaeel's home tonight. Steven.

:02:02. > :02:08.It is almost fully two days since he was last seen at his home when he

:02:09. > :02:13.was put to bed by his mother. Since, an intense search to try and

:02:14. > :02:16.find him, but so far it has yielded nothing will stop police said there

:02:17. > :02:20.were a number of strands to the enquiry but admitted he could have

:02:21. > :02:26.an subject to what they call a criminal act. They appealed for the

:02:27. > :02:31.public to come forward with any information they have. The community

:02:32. > :02:37.rallied round once again today. United and worry, a community stands

:02:38. > :02:41.shoulder to shoulder, searching for Mikaeel Kular, whose disappearance

:02:42. > :02:49.is now measured in days rather than hours. This is a UK wide appeal. But

:02:50. > :02:53.the focus of the police operation remains here in the north of

:02:54. > :02:56.Edinburgh. Hundreds of locals helping in the hope of finding

:02:57. > :03:01.something that leads to the safe return of the child.

:03:02. > :03:08.People are positive, we would not be here if we were not. But obviously

:03:09. > :03:16.it is getting later. We're doing our bit. We'll stay out as long as we

:03:17. > :03:23.can. We have searched the woods, the

:03:24. > :03:27.seafront, right along really. He is a child, he is tiny, he is freezing,

:03:28. > :03:35.he is part of the community will stop I would travel any distance.

:03:36. > :03:39.Earlier, people gathered at a community centre, filling out forms,

:03:40. > :03:45.eager to get going on what for many was a second day of searching.

:03:46. > :03:51.Anything I can do to help, I thought I should do. Anybody who can come

:03:52. > :03:58.out needs to search their conscience. I can think of any

:03:59. > :04:05.reason not to come out. Lunchtime and news of a potential sighting at

:04:06. > :04:08.eight 30 a.m. Yesterday morning. A driver saw a small boy seemingly

:04:09. > :04:14.alone running alongside the road will stop police say that CCTV fits

:04:15. > :04:20.the description of Mikaeel Kular, but remain cautious. We need the

:04:21. > :04:25.help of the public to let us know if they saw something. Or indeed if

:04:26. > :04:31.they know it was their child, who could have fit the description of

:04:32. > :04:38.Mikaeel Kular. An appeal went out in Glasgow Central Station. He was in

:04:39. > :04:44.the same class as my son, I just can't imagine going through that.

:04:45. > :04:52.Outside the family home, police activity continued. Tonight, a shift

:04:53. > :05:00.in emphasis. It is entirely possible that he has become subject to a

:05:01. > :05:05.criminal act. The investigation has been established as a twin track too

:05:06. > :05:17.insular that that eventuality is fully explored. -- to ensure. Police

:05:18. > :05:20.say they are gravely concerned but insisted the search will continue. A

:05:21. > :05:26.number of things came out of the news conference. Firstly, Mikaeel

:05:27. > :05:34.Kular had not been to nursery since Christmas. He had a chest infection.

:05:35. > :05:38.As for the potential sighting, revealed around lunchtime, there has

:05:39. > :05:43.been a good response but police say there is much more work to be done.

:05:44. > :05:48.The overarching message from the police is that they still want

:05:49. > :05:51.people to come forward and help. They say that the answer lies in

:05:52. > :05:55.what people have seen. So they want to know.

:05:56. > :05:58.A Dublin man has been convicted of killing his mother and then cutting

:05:59. > :06:01.up her body, before burying her remains at an Edinburgh beauty spot.

:06:02. > :06:03.40-year-old Seamus Dunleavy was found guilty of the culpable

:06:04. > :06:08.homicide of 66-year-old Philomena Dunleavy on the grounds of

:06:09. > :06:10.diminished responsibility. The discovery of Mrs Dunleavy's remains

:06:11. > :06:20.led to an international investigation to discover her

:06:21. > :06:30.identity. Rob Flett reports. This is James Dunleavy. Most people know him

:06:31. > :06:34.as Seamus. He committed a crime that is hard to comprehend. The discovery

:06:35. > :06:43.of a skull prompted a major police investigation. But repeated appeals

:06:44. > :06:47.for information led nowhere. I was convinced it was important to widen

:06:48. > :06:54.the net, after the first week. My gut instinct was that it was local,

:06:55. > :06:57.that turned out to be the case. The breakthrough came following a

:06:58. > :07:03.remarkable facial construction at Dundee University. The image made

:07:04. > :07:07.sense to me in relation to the skull. We are pleased that the

:07:08. > :07:13.depiction was close in terms of resemblance. The dead woman was

:07:14. > :07:17.quickly identified as Philomena Dunleavy from Dublin, who had

:07:18. > :07:28.visited her son near the spot where the body was found. Seamus Dunleavy

:07:29. > :07:31.was arrested and charged with beheading her, cutting off the

:07:32. > :07:37.body, and putting the remains in a suitcase, which he took, just a few

:07:38. > :07:44.hundred metres down this road to dense woodland, where he buried it.

:07:45. > :07:49.Philomena was a regular visitor to Edinburgh and her son was well known

:07:50. > :07:55.in the post office alone his flat. Staff say that they are loving

:07:56. > :08:01.relationship turned sour. She was very upset that events, his mother

:08:02. > :08:08.left his father, moved in with a new partner in Dublin, he was very

:08:09. > :08:11.angry. The High Court heard that Mr Dunleavy told friends that he had

:08:12. > :08:15.heard voices in his head, that he might be evil, that he had done

:08:16. > :08:21.something bad will stop prosecutors said that the evidence was

:08:22. > :08:27.circumstantial but came together like the strands of a cable. He was

:08:28. > :08:31.found guilty of culpable homicide, with diminished responsibility. It

:08:32. > :08:37.is ten years since his brother was gunned down in Dublin, further

:08:38. > :08:46.tragedy is the father, senior and the left, watched another son sent

:08:47. > :08:51.to jail. -- seen here on the left. You're watching Reporting Scotland

:08:52. > :08:54.from the BBC. Still to come on the programme: An exclusive look at the

:08:55. > :08:57.Tartan specially designed for Scotland's Commonwealth Games team.

:08:58. > :09:01.In sport: Ally McCoist says he backs his players 100% after their refusal

:09:02. > :09:03.to take a pay cut. More on that. And Andy Murray tells us why his next

:09:04. > :09:12.opponent is one of a kind. Earlier this week, we reported more

:09:13. > :09:15.than half a million people were stopped and searched by police in

:09:16. > :09:19.Scotland between April and December last year. The figure was slightly

:09:20. > :09:21.down on the previous year but research from Edinburgh University,

:09:22. > :09:25.seen by Reporting Scotland, shows the tactic is being used four times

:09:26. > :09:28.as often here as in England and Wales. Our Home Affairs

:09:29. > :09:34.Correspondent, Reevel Alderson has been reading the report.

:09:35. > :09:37.Police stopping people on the street and searching them is a highly

:09:38. > :09:40.controversial tactic in England and Wales, with members of black and

:09:41. > :09:43.ethnic minority communities overwhelmingly targeted. But here in

:09:44. > :09:47.Scotland it's becoming much more widely used. Research carried out by

:09:48. > :09:53.Edinburgh University shows 86 people out of each 1,000 in Scotland were

:09:54. > :09:58.stopped and searched in 2010. The figure for England and Wales was 17;

:09:59. > :10:02.less than a quarter. But even these figures hide the shocking disparity.

:10:03. > :10:07.In 2010, 123 people out of each 1,000 were stopped by the old

:10:08. > :10:13.Strathclyde Police. The London figure was 59, less than half. Yet

:10:14. > :10:23.look at this figure - 276 - in the year before Strathclyde Police was

:10:24. > :10:27.merged. This is how police justify stop and

:10:28. > :10:35.search. Knives taken off the streets. Drinks which cause

:10:36. > :10:41.anti-social behaviour and crime. They say that falling crime figures

:10:42. > :10:45.are due to stop and search. That is supported by this family, still

:10:46. > :10:51.mourning the death of 25-year-old, Sean, stabbed to death in the

:10:52. > :10:57.street. It saves families going through what we went through. If

:10:58. > :11:03.they are called beforehand, taken away, sentenced, the word goes

:11:04. > :11:09.about. Stop and search, it will deter you from taking knives out in

:11:10. > :11:12.the first place. The use of stop and search is

:11:13. > :11:16.declining south of the border, because of criticism that black and

:11:17. > :11:21.ethnic minority communities were disproportionately targeted.

:11:22. > :11:25.Edinburgh University research shows that has not happened in Scotland,

:11:26. > :11:29.but nevertheless the massive rise in stop and searches has gone without

:11:30. > :11:37.much criticism. One academic said that is not surprising. It is

:11:38. > :11:44.focused on young white men in deprived areas who have no political

:11:45. > :11:52.voice of people to speak on their behalf, so it is no supplies it has

:11:53. > :11:58.not become political. -- surprise. Wider use could affect the way the

:11:59. > :12:00.community react to the police, and the Childrens Commissioner has

:12:01. > :12:05.expressed concern at the targeting of young people. But the charity,

:12:06. > :12:12.children in Scotland, support the attack six, sing young people are --

:12:13. > :12:24.support the tactics, sing young people are proportionately higher

:12:25. > :12:28.victims of crime. Human remains found in Argyll last

:12:29. > :12:30.week have been confirmed by police as those of Russian student Yulia

:12:31. > :12:33.Solodyankin. The 22-year-old Edinburgh University physics student

:12:34. > :12:36.was reported missing in June last year. Remains were discovered in a

:12:37. > :12:39.remote location near Arrochar last Thursday. Police said her family had

:12:40. > :12:41.been informed and there were no suspicious circumstances in

:12:42. > :12:44.connection with the death. Scotland will pay more for and get

:12:45. > :12:47.less from European Union membership if it becomes an independent

:12:48. > :12:50.country, according to the Foreign Secretary, William Hague. But SNP

:12:51. > :12:52.ministers accuse the UK government of scaremongering. Here's our

:12:53. > :12:56.Political Correspondent, Glenn Campbell. Whether it is Alex Salmond

:12:57. > :13:01.in China, or his predecessor, Jack McConnell, in Malawi, all first

:13:02. > :13:07.ministers seek to develop trade, aid, and friendly overseas

:13:08. > :13:11.relations. But under devolution, it is ultimately the job of the UK

:13:12. > :13:15.government to represent Scottish interests internationally. How might

:13:16. > :13:23.independence change our standing in the world?

:13:24. > :13:31.I think yes. It would do us a power of good. We would have our own

:13:32. > :13:38.decision to spend our money. I want it, you don't.

:13:39. > :13:45.Sometimes family members are just as far apart as the Scottish and UK

:13:46. > :13:49.government. In Glasgow, William Hague and Danny Alexander suggested

:13:50. > :13:55.that negotiating European Union membership could be a setback. It

:13:56. > :14:00.would not be simple. And at what price would come? You would end up

:14:01. > :14:05.paying more to be in the European Union, getting less from it. But SNP

:14:06. > :14:11.ministers are confident about prospects. As an independent

:14:12. > :14:14.European Union member state could stand up for our national interest

:14:15. > :14:18.better than the UK government ever does, and get the best deal for

:14:19. > :14:26.Scotland. It is one of the real benefits. In Madrid, the Spanish

:14:27. > :14:30.Minister highlighted the UK view that an independent Scotland would

:14:31. > :14:33.find itself outside of the European Union, but neither he or the EU

:14:34. > :14:41.president can categorically rule it out. Voters will choose between

:14:42. > :14:49.independence or continued membership of the UK in eight months time.

:14:50. > :14:53.Other stories from across Scotland this Friday: A horse rider has died

:14:54. > :14:56.and another has been seriously injured in a crash in Dumfriesshire.

:14:57. > :15:00.The two women were walking horses along a country road when they were

:15:01. > :15:02.involved in a collision with a pick-up.

:15:03. > :15:05.A third person has died after a crash on the A1 near the Torness

:15:06. > :15:08.Power Station in East Lothian. The accident, involving two cars,

:15:09. > :15:11.happened a week ago. The latest person to die was one of the

:15:12. > :15:15.drivers, 23-year-old David Forsyth from Invergordon. The driver of the

:15:16. > :15:18.other car, Dawn Morris, and her rear seat passenger, Claire Jamieson,

:15:19. > :15:24.both aged 21 and from Cowdenbeath in Fife, died last week.

:15:25. > :15:27.A Royal Navy search-and-rescue helicopter, with a crew of four on

:15:28. > :15:32.board, made a precautionary landing at Ardrossan in North Ayrshire

:15:33. > :15:36.earlier today. A warning light was activated in the cockpit. The

:15:37. > :15:39.Ministry of Defence said that crew of the Prestwick-based Sea King had

:15:40. > :15:43.followed standard procedures and they were waiting for engineers to

:15:44. > :15:46.declare it safe. Construction company managers at the

:15:47. > :15:51.Total gas terminal in Shetland say they're hopeful that industrial

:15:52. > :15:55.action may be averted. The dispute has been mainly over the need for

:15:56. > :15:59.their workers to share rooms. The company Petrofac has struck a deal

:16:00. > :16:01.with the unions which will offer financial compensation to those

:16:02. > :16:05.involved. And there are more stories from your

:16:06. > :16:15.area - and all the latest news, 24 hours a day, on BBC Scotland's

:16:16. > :16:18.website. Now here is David, with the sport.

:16:19. > :16:21.Good evening. The Rangers manager, Ally McCoist,

:16:22. > :16:25.says he's backing his players 100% following their decision to reject a

:16:26. > :16:33.wage cut. The proposal was part of cost-cutting efforts as the club

:16:34. > :16:39.attempts to stem heavy losses. As our senior football reporter

:16:40. > :16:42.explains, Rangers say there is no chance the club will go into

:16:43. > :16:46.administration. These players have made it clear

:16:47. > :16:50.they are unwilling to bear the brunt of cost-cutting at Ibrox. Today

:16:51. > :16:56.their manager came out in support, saying, I can assure everyone that

:16:57. > :17:01.the players have my 100% backing. What with the playing budget having

:17:02. > :17:10.to come down, no big cuts means players will have to be sold, which

:17:11. > :17:15.presents its own problems. How many marketable assets have Rangers got

:17:16. > :17:20.now? I would say only one, Wallace. He might bring in ?1 million or so.

:17:21. > :17:25.But the fact is that he does not want to leave, so you could argue

:17:26. > :17:29.that they have no marketable assets at all. It is two years since

:17:30. > :17:34.Rangers went to do administration and the biggest question raised by

:17:35. > :17:38.these cuts is, is this a precursor to administration happening again?

:17:39. > :17:42.The chairman has said that is not the case, but there is clearly a lot

:17:43. > :17:47.of work to be done on the financial side here at Ibrox. What is certain

:17:48. > :17:52.is that Rangers will win a game need fans to dig deep, which at least

:17:53. > :17:58.some, in the circumstances, are willing to do. Even if they increase

:17:59. > :18:04.the price of a season ticket I will buy it for me and my family. It is

:18:05. > :18:10.not even about football, it is about Rangers. That name, Rangers, that is

:18:11. > :18:14.what he were here to support. But with season ticket renewal time

:18:15. > :18:19.several months away, savings are required now. Andy Murray is back in

:18:20. > :18:22.action at the Australian Open tennis tomorrow, in the wee small hours.

:18:23. > :18:32.The fourth seed plays Spain's Feliciano Lopez for a place in the

:18:33. > :18:41.last 16. Andy Murray says his opponent is one-of-a-kind. It will

:18:42. > :18:45.be another good test for me. Now for a quick look at what else is

:18:46. > :18:47.happening across Scottish sport. Aberdeenshire's Andrew Musgrave has

:18:48. > :18:51.shocked the people of Norway by winning the sprint in their

:18:52. > :19:00.cross-country skiing championships. It's lead story on Norwegian TV

:19:01. > :19:07.News. So whiskey and bagpipes tonight? Yes. That is the plan.

:19:08. > :19:11.Stirling golfer Craig Lee's tied for the lead at the Abu Dhabi Golf

:19:12. > :19:15.Championship. He's nine under-par. So is Rafael Cabrera Bello of Spain.

:19:16. > :19:18.There's a remote possibilty Edinburgh rugby will reach the last

:19:19. > :19:22.eight of the European Cup this weekend. They need to win at

:19:23. > :19:30.Munster, while Saracens, Cardiff Blues and Northampton Saints all

:19:31. > :19:33.have to lose. We would love to continue to play in Europe and we

:19:34. > :19:35.will be doing our level best to achieve that.

:19:36. > :19:39.Motherwell are hoping to record their seventh win on the spin - for

:19:40. > :19:46.the first time in 81 years tomorrow. They'll have to win at Celtic to do

:19:47. > :19:51.it. We will go in with confidence, but we need to show the same level

:19:52. > :19:53.of performance as we have been of late.

:19:54. > :19:58.Ayr United are appealing a six-match ban imposed by the SFA on striker

:19:59. > :20:00.Michael Moffat. The club says the punishment for breaching football

:20:01. > :20:04.betting rules is grossly unfair. Defender Lee Mair is on the move

:20:05. > :20:06.from one Premiership club to another. The 33-year-old defender is

:20:07. > :20:08.leaving St Mirren for Partick Thistle.

:20:09. > :20:12.And there are more sports stories - plus all the latest news, 24 hours a

:20:13. > :20:25.day, on BBC Sport Scotland's website.

:20:26. > :20:29.Thank you. What colour is your kilt? I am not quite sure!

:20:30. > :20:31.Have a look at this, see what you think. Commonwealth swimming

:20:32. > :20:35.champion Hannah Miley says, "It makes the Scottish athletes stand

:20:36. > :20:39.tall." What is she referring to? Well, the parade uniform which is

:20:40. > :20:42.uniquely made for Team Scotland for the Games. BBC Scotland has had an

:20:43. > :20:44.exclusive look at the tartan specially designed for the

:20:45. > :20:47.competitors - here's our Commonwealth Games reporter, Jane

:20:48. > :20:55.Lewis. Back in 1954, there was not a kilt

:20:56. > :21:00.to be seen. But come the 1970 Edinburgh games... COMMENTATOR: A

:21:01. > :21:06.girl is wearing the specially designed top. Tartan made an

:21:07. > :21:11.appearance and since then the national attire has been very much

:21:12. > :21:17.on show. It is no different for this summer, and here is a first glimpse

:21:18. > :21:30.of the 2014 tartan from balloons of the aisle mill in Aberdeenshire. --

:21:31. > :21:36.from the weaving looms. The blue is from the spring water in Battersea

:21:37. > :21:43.Bay. The Karen L colour is the burned bracken on the hills. --

:21:44. > :21:49.caramel colour. This coral and red and pink, these are the Summerhill

:21:50. > :21:54.is when the heather bursts forth. No great shock that is team Scotland

:21:55. > :21:58.will don tartan when they walk out here for the opening ceremony, but

:21:59. > :22:08.the bold and bright colours may surprise some. It is kind of

:22:09. > :22:17.girlish. To pink for you? Yes. More red and blue in there. It is nice

:22:18. > :22:23.and bright. I would probably wear it for the Commonwealth, yeah. The

:22:24. > :22:26.designer will also create the team's Parade outfit. The men will

:22:27. > :22:33.wear kilts but she will create a slightly different look for the

:22:34. > :22:39.women. For the girls, for it to be just taken off from what the guys'

:22:40. > :22:44.design has been is like being second best, so the fact that now the

:22:45. > :22:48.designer has decided to make two separate things is really quite

:22:49. > :22:53.exciting. It is unique and special. So a more female friendly style for

:22:54. > :22:57.the women in the team, which will be similar to the men's but with a

:22:58. > :23:03.modern twist. So what is it worth for me not to

:23:04. > :23:13.ask you what you think of it? I quite like it. Still a number of

:23:14. > :23:18.showers across many parts of the country tonight but they are slowly

:23:19. > :23:24.fading away. Where the sky is clear we will see a patchy frost, maybe

:23:25. > :23:34.icy patches as well. Still wet and windy. Day four or five for

:23:35. > :23:39.Shetland. Gales through the weekend. The countryside may be lower than

:23:40. > :23:44.freezing. Tomorrow showers towards Kintyre but elsewhere largely a dry

:23:45. > :23:47.start but by mid to late morning rain works into Galloway, the

:23:48. > :23:52.Borders, the central belt and then further North as we head through to

:23:53. > :23:55.the middle part of the afternoon. So it is a deteriorating picture and by

:23:56. > :24:02.mid afternoon, temperature wise, six or seven, fairly cloudy and dump.

:24:03. > :24:11.Some drier slots for Glasgow and Edinburgh at times. The rain is

:24:12. > :24:14.heavier in towards southern Aberdeenshire and other areas.

:24:15. > :24:19.Passing showers for Orkney and passing rent for Shetland and gales

:24:20. > :24:24.continue. If you are hill walking or climbing, the North West is best

:24:25. > :24:32.some sunshine. After a dry start it turns damp elsewhere. On the eastern

:24:33. > :24:40.ranges, largely set fair on the cane corns. -- Cairngorms. If you are

:24:41. > :24:45.thinking about skiing tomorrow, you will probably get away with a dry

:24:46. > :24:49.morning but towards the afternoon, slowly turning wet. The rest of the

:24:50. > :24:53.afternoon, into the evening and overnight, the rain continuing to

:24:54. > :24:57.slowly make its way northwards, fragmented all the time. If we look

:24:58. > :25:01.at the big picture we can see what is happening overnight towards the

:25:02. > :25:06.second part of the weekend. The rain, connected to this low pressure

:25:07. > :25:09.in the Atlantic, and this cold front bringing an area of heavy rain

:25:10. > :25:14.probably Saturday night to the central belt, something to bear in

:25:15. > :25:18.mind if you are out on the town. By Sunday morning, white across

:25:19. > :25:24.Aberdeenshire, down towards Dundee and up towards Inverness. South West

:25:25. > :25:28.of year, dry and bright. One or two passing showers. Some sunshine.

:25:29. > :25:34.Monday, the rain still in play across Shetland. Still blowing a

:25:35. > :25:37.gale. Elsewhere, clarity. Temperatures down a notch. Sunday is

:25:38. > :25:40.the better of the two days this weekend.

:25:41. > :25:45.Now back to our main story - the search for three-year-old Mikaeel

:25:46. > :25:48.Kular, who's now been missing for almost two days. Tonight police said

:25:49. > :25:51.they couldn't rule out the possibility that he'd been the

:25:52. > :25:54.subject of a criminal act. Our reporter Laura Maxwell is at the

:25:55. > :25:59.headquarters of Police Scotland in Edinburgh tonight. What's the

:26:00. > :26:04.latest, Laura? It is safe to say that the mood here

:26:05. > :26:07.is subdued. Officers now say they are gravely concerned about the

:26:08. > :26:11.well-being of Mikaeel Kular given the length of time he has been

:26:12. > :26:15.missing. There has been a huge police presence on the streets of

:26:16. > :26:21.the North of Edinburgh during the day. Everywhere you go you can see

:26:22. > :26:26.officers searching for the missing three-year-old. Police cars, vans,

:26:27. > :26:29.dog units moving around the city. Officers have said they are keeping

:26:30. > :26:37.an open mind about what might have happened. Tonight they admitted that

:26:38. > :26:41.it is entirely possible that Mikaeel has been the subject of a criminal

:26:42. > :26:44.act. They are running a twin approach to the operation, on the

:26:45. > :26:49.one hand a massive search and on the other hand they are repairing and

:26:50. > :26:54.investigating the possibility that a criminal act may have happened.

:26:55. > :27:00.Tonight the search will continue and they are asking anyone with

:27:01. > :27:07.information to contact them. Thanks. Now a reminder of tonight's

:27:08. > :27:10.main news: A Dublin man has been convicted of killing his mother and

:27:11. > :27:12.then cutting up her body before burying her remains at an Edinburgh

:27:13. > :27:15.beauty spot. 40-year old Seamus Dunleavy was

:27:16. > :27:17.found guilty of the culpable homicide of 66-year-old Philomena

:27:18. > :27:19.Dunleavy on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

:27:20. > :27:23.The Labour Leader, Ed Miliband, has outlined his plans to break up

:27:24. > :27:26.Britain's high street banks if his party wins the next election. He

:27:27. > :27:29.says it's time for a reckoning with the industry, and that a Labour

:27:30. > :27:32.Government would create at least two so-called challenger banks. The

:27:33. > :27:38.Government says it's done that already.

:27:39. > :27:42.Back at HPN and just after the ten o'clock news. Goodbye. -- back at

:27:43. > :27:44.HPN.
