Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. Three-year-old Mikaeel Koolar is | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
still missing. Despite a huge search involving hundreds of volunteers | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
across land and sea, it's now nearly two full days since the last | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
sighting of him. Police admit they're gravely concerned. It is | :00:29. | :00:38. | |
entirely possible that he has left the house of his own accord and all | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
of our actions are attempting to cover that possibility. It is | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
however entirely possible that he has become subject to a criminal | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
act. Police are also investigating an | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
unconfirmed sighting. Also this evening: Guilty - James | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
Dunleavy killed his own mother, cut her up, put her body parts in a | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
suitcase and buried her in an Edinburgh beauty spot. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Rangers deny they're heading towards administration, as the players | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
reject a wage cut to stem heavy losses. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
And would you wear this tartan? Well, our athletes will at this | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. We have an exclusive peek. | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
Hundreds of members of the public today joined the search for | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
3-year-old Mikaeel Kular, who's been missing from his home in Edinburgh | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
for nearly two days. But tonight police said they couldn't rule out | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
the possibility that he'd been the victim of a criminal act. Earlier | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
they said they were investigating a sighting of a small boy matching | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Mikaeel's description not far from his home in Ferry Gait Crescent. A | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
motorist saw the boy, apparently alone, running along West Pilton | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Gardens at 8:30am yesterday morning. Our reporter Steven Godden is | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
outside Mikaeel's home tonight. Steven. | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
It is almost fully two days since he was last seen at his home when he | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
was put to bed by his mother. Since, an intense search to try and | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
find him, but so far it has yielded nothing will stop police said there | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
were a number of strands to the enquiry but admitted he could have | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
an subject to what they call a criminal act. They appealed for the | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
public to come forward with any information they have. The community | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
rallied round once again today. United and worry, a community stands | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
shoulder to shoulder, searching for Mikaeel Kular, whose disappearance | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
is now measured in days rather than hours. This is a UK wide appeal. But | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
the focus of the police operation remains here in the north of | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Edinburgh. Hundreds of locals helping in the hope of finding | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
something that leads to the safe return of the child. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
People are positive, we would not be here if we were not. But obviously | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
it is getting later. We're doing our bit. We'll stay out as long as we | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
can. We have searched the woods, the | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
seafront, right along really. He is a child, he is tiny, he is freezing, | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
he is part of the community will stop I would travel any distance. | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
Earlier, people gathered at a community centre, filling out forms, | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
eager to get going on what for many was a second day of searching. | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
Anything I can do to help, I thought I should do. Anybody who can come | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
out needs to search their conscience. I can think of any | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
reason not to come out. Lunchtime and news of a potential sighting at | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
eight 30 a.m. Yesterday morning. A driver saw a small boy seemingly | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
alone running alongside the road will stop police say that CCTV fits | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
the description of Mikaeel Kular, but remain cautious. We need the | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
help of the public to let us know if they saw something. Or indeed if | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
they know it was their child, who could have fit the description of | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
Mikaeel Kular. An appeal went out in Glasgow Central Station. He was in | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
the same class as my son, I just can't imagine going through that. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Outside the family home, police activity continued. Tonight, a shift | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
in emphasis. It is entirely possible that he has become subject to a | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
criminal act. The investigation has been established as a twin track too | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
insular that that eventuality is fully explored. -- to ensure. Police | :05:06. | :05:17. | |
say they are gravely concerned but insisted the search will continue. A | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
number of things came out of the news conference. Firstly, Mikaeel | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
Kular had not been to nursery since Christmas. He had a chest infection. | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
As for the potential sighting, revealed around lunchtime, there has | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
been a good response but police say there is much more work to be done. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
The overarching message from the police is that they still want | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
people to come forward and help. They say that the answer lies in | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
what people have seen. So they want to know. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
A Dublin man has been convicted of killing his mother and then cutting | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
up her body, before burying her remains at an Edinburgh beauty spot. | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
40-year-old Seamus Dunleavy was found guilty of the culpable | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
homicide of 66-year-old Philomena Dunleavy on the grounds of | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
diminished responsibility. The discovery of Mrs Dunleavy's remains | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
led to an international investigation to discover her | :06:11. | :06:20. | |
identity. Rob Flett reports. This is James Dunleavy. Most people know him | :06:21. | :06:30. | |
as Seamus. He committed a crime that is hard to comprehend. The discovery | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
of a skull prompted a major police investigation. But repeated appeals | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
for information led nowhere. I was convinced it was important to widen | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
the net, after the first week. My gut instinct was that it was local, | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
that turned out to be the case. The breakthrough came following a | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
remarkable facial construction at Dundee University. The image made | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
sense to me in relation to the skull. We are pleased that the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
depiction was close in terms of resemblance. The dead woman was | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
quickly identified as Philomena Dunleavy from Dublin, who had | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
visited her son near the spot where the body was found. Seamus Dunleavy | :07:18. | :07:28. | |
was arrested and charged with beheading her, cutting off the | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
body, and putting the remains in a suitcase, which he took, just a few | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
hundred metres down this road to dense woodland, where he buried it. | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
Philomena was a regular visitor to Edinburgh and her son was well known | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
in the post office alone his flat. Staff say that they are loving | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
relationship turned sour. She was very upset that events, his mother | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
left his father, moved in with a new partner in Dublin, he was very | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
angry. The High Court heard that Mr Dunleavy told friends that he had | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
heard voices in his head, that he might be evil, that he had done | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
something bad will stop prosecutors said that the evidence was | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
circumstantial but came together like the strands of a cable. He was | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
found guilty of culpable homicide, with diminished responsibility. It | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
is ten years since his brother was gunned down in Dublin, further | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
tragedy is the father, senior and the left, watched another son sent | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
to jail. -- seen here on the left. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on the programme: An exclusive look at the | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Tartan specially designed for Scotland's Commonwealth Games team. | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
In sport: Ally McCoist says he backs his players 100% after their refusal | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
to take a pay cut. More on that. And Andy Murray tells us why his next | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
opponent is one of a kind. Earlier this week, we reported more | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
than half a million people were stopped and searched by police in | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
Scotland between April and December last year. The figure was slightly | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
down on the previous year but research from Edinburgh University, | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
seen by Reporting Scotland, shows the tactic is being used four times | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
as often here as in England and Wales. Our Home Affairs | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
Correspondent, Reevel Alderson has been reading the report. | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Police stopping people on the street and searching them is a highly | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
controversial tactic in England and Wales, with members of black and | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
ethnic minority communities overwhelmingly targeted. But here in | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Scotland it's becoming much more widely used. Research carried out by | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
Edinburgh University shows 86 people out of each 1,000 in Scotland were | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
stopped and searched in 2010. The figure for England and Wales was 17; | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
less than a quarter. But even these figures hide the shocking disparity. | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
In 2010, 123 people out of each 1,000 were stopped by the old | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Strathclyde Police. The London figure was 59, less than half. Yet | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
look at this figure - 276 - in the year before Strathclyde Police was | :10:14. | :10:23. | |
merged. This is how police justify stop and | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
search. Knives taken off the streets. Drinks which cause | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
anti-social behaviour and crime. They say that falling crime figures | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
are due to stop and search. That is supported by this family, still | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
mourning the death of 25-year-old, Sean, stabbed to death in the | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
street. It saves families going through what we went through. If | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
they are called beforehand, taken away, sentenced, the word goes | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
about. Stop and search, it will deter you from taking knives out in | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
the first place. The use of stop and search is | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
declining south of the border, because of criticism that black and | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
ethnic minority communities were disproportionately targeted. | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
Edinburgh University research shows that has not happened in Scotland, | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
but nevertheless the massive rise in stop and searches has gone without | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
much criticism. One academic said that is not surprising. It is | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
focused on young white men in deprived areas who have no political | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
voice of people to speak on their behalf, so it is no supplies it has | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
not become political. -- surprise. Wider use could affect the way the | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
community react to the police, and the Childrens Commissioner has | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
expressed concern at the targeting of young people. But the charity, | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
children in Scotland, support the attack six, sing young people are -- | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
support the tactics, sing young people are proportionately higher | :12:13. | :12:24. | |
victims of crime. Human remains found in Argyll last | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
week have been confirmed by police as those of Russian student Yulia | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
Solodyankin. The 22-year-old Edinburgh University physics student | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
was reported missing in June last year. Remains were discovered in a | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
remote location near Arrochar last Thursday. Police said her family had | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
been informed and there were no suspicious circumstances in | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
connection with the death. Scotland will pay more for and get | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
less from European Union membership if it becomes an independent | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
country, according to the Foreign Secretary, William Hague. But SNP | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
ministers accuse the UK government of scaremongering. Here's our | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
Political Correspondent, Glenn Campbell. Whether it is Alex Salmond | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
in China, or his predecessor, Jack McConnell, in Malawi, all first | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
ministers seek to develop trade, aid, and friendly overseas | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
relations. But under devolution, it is ultimately the job of the UK | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
government to represent Scottish interests internationally. How might | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
independence change our standing in the world? | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
I think yes. It would do us a power of good. We would have our own | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
decision to spend our money. I want it, you don't. | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
Sometimes family members are just as far apart as the Scottish and UK | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
government. In Glasgow, William Hague and Danny Alexander suggested | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
that negotiating European Union membership could be a setback. It | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
would not be simple. And at what price would come? You would end up | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
paying more to be in the European Union, getting less from it. But SNP | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
ministers are confident about prospects. As an independent | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
European Union member state could stand up for our national interest | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
better than the UK government ever does, and get the best deal for | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
Scotland. It is one of the real benefits. In Madrid, the Spanish | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
Minister highlighted the UK view that an independent Scotland would | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
find itself outside of the European Union, but neither he or the EU | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
president can categorically rule it out. Voters will choose between | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
independence or continued membership of the UK in eight months time. | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
Other stories from across Scotland this Friday: A horse rider has died | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
and another has been seriously injured in a crash in Dumfriesshire. | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
The two women were walking horses along a country road when they were | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
involved in a collision with a pick-up. | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
A third person has died after a crash on the A1 near the Torness | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
Power Station in East Lothian. The accident, involving two cars, | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
happened a week ago. The latest person to die was one of the | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
drivers, 23-year-old David Forsyth from Invergordon. The driver of the | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
other car, Dawn Morris, and her rear seat passenger, Claire Jamieson, | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
both aged 21 and from Cowdenbeath in Fife, died last week. | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
A Royal Navy search-and-rescue helicopter, with a crew of four on | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
board, made a precautionary landing at Ardrossan in North Ayrshire | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
earlier today. A warning light was activated in the cockpit. The | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
Ministry of Defence said that crew of the Prestwick-based Sea King had | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
followed standard procedures and they were waiting for engineers to | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
declare it safe. Construction company managers at the | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
Total gas terminal in Shetland say they're hopeful that industrial | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
action may be averted. The dispute has been mainly over the need for | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
their workers to share rooms. The company Petrofac has struck a deal | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
with the unions which will offer financial compensation to those | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
involved. And there are more stories from your | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
area - and all the latest news, 24 hours a day, on BBC Scotland's | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
website. Now here is David, with the sport. | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
Good evening. The Rangers manager, Ally McCoist, | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
says he's backing his players 100% following their decision to reject a | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
wage cut. The proposal was part of cost-cutting efforts as the club | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
attempts to stem heavy losses. As our senior football reporter | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
explains, Rangers say there is no chance the club will go into | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
administration. These players have made it clear | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
they are unwilling to bear the brunt of cost-cutting at Ibrox. Today | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
their manager came out in support, saying, I can assure everyone that | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
the players have my 100% backing. What with the playing budget having | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
to come down, no big cuts means players will have to be sold, which | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
presents its own problems. How many marketable assets have Rangers got | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
now? I would say only one, Wallace. He might bring in ?1 million or so. | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
But the fact is that he does not want to leave, so you could argue | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
that they have no marketable assets at all. It is two years since | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
Rangers went to do administration and the biggest question raised by | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
these cuts is, is this a precursor to administration happening again? | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
The chairman has said that is not the case, but there is clearly a lot | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
of work to be done on the financial side here at Ibrox. What is certain | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
is that Rangers will win a game need fans to dig deep, which at least | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
some, in the circumstances, are willing to do. Even if they increase | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
the price of a season ticket I will buy it for me and my family. It is | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
not even about football, it is about Rangers. That name, Rangers, that is | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
what he were here to support. But with season ticket renewal time | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
several months away, savings are required now. Andy Murray is back in | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
action at the Australian Open tennis tomorrow, in the wee small hours. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
The fourth seed plays Spain's Feliciano Lopez for a place in the | :18:23. | :18:32. | |
last 16. Andy Murray says his opponent is one-of-a-kind. It will | :18:33. | :18:41. | |
be another good test for me. Now for a quick look at what else is | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
happening across Scottish sport. Aberdeenshire's Andrew Musgrave has | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
shocked the people of Norway by winning the sprint in their | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
cross-country skiing championships. It's lead story on Norwegian TV | :18:52. | :19:00. | |
News. So whiskey and bagpipes tonight? Yes. That is the plan. | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
Stirling golfer Craig Lee's tied for the lead at the Abu Dhabi Golf | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Championship. He's nine under-par. So is Rafael Cabrera Bello of Spain. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
There's a remote possibilty Edinburgh rugby will reach the last | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
eight of the European Cup this weekend. They need to win at | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
Munster, while Saracens, Cardiff Blues and Northampton Saints all | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
have to lose. We would love to continue to play in Europe and we | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
will be doing our level best to achieve that. | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
Motherwell are hoping to record their seventh win on the spin - for | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
the first time in 81 years tomorrow. They'll have to win at Celtic to do | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
it. We will go in with confidence, but we need to show the same level | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
of performance as we have been of late. | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
Ayr United are appealing a six-match ban imposed by the SFA on striker | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
Michael Moffat. The club says the punishment for breaching football | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
betting rules is grossly unfair. Defender Lee Mair is on the move | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
from one Premiership club to another. The 33-year-old defender is | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
leaving St Mirren for Partick Thistle. | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
And there are more sports stories - plus all the latest news, 24 hours a | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
day, on BBC Sport Scotland's website. | :20:13. | :20:25. | |
Thank you. What colour is your kilt? I am not quite sure! | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
Have a look at this, see what you think. Commonwealth swimming | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
champion Hannah Miley says, "It makes the Scottish athletes stand | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
tall." What is she referring to? Well, the parade uniform which is | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
uniquely made for Team Scotland for the Games. BBC Scotland has had an | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
exclusive look at the tartan specially designed for the | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
competitors - here's our Commonwealth Games reporter, Jane | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
Lewis. Back in 1954, there was not a kilt | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
to be seen. But come the 1970 Edinburgh games... COMMENTATOR: A | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
girl is wearing the specially designed top. Tartan made an | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
appearance and since then the national attire has been very much | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
on show. It is no different for this summer, and here is a first glimpse | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
of the 2014 tartan from balloons of the aisle mill in Aberdeenshire. -- | :21:18. | :21:30. | |
from the weaving looms. The blue is from the spring water in Battersea | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
Bay. The Karen L colour is the burned bracken on the hills. -- | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
caramel colour. This coral and red and pink, these are the Summerhill | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
is when the heather bursts forth. No great shock that is team Scotland | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
will don tartan when they walk out here for the opening ceremony, but | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
the bold and bright colours may surprise some. It is kind of | :21:59. | :22:08. | |
girlish. To pink for you? Yes. More red and blue in there. It is nice | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
and bright. I would probably wear it for the Commonwealth, yeah. The | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
designer will also create the team's Parade outfit. The men will | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
wear kilts but she will create a slightly different look for the | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
women. For the girls, for it to be just taken off from what the guys' | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
design has been is like being second best, so the fact that now the | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
designer has decided to make two separate things is really quite | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
exciting. It is unique and special. So a more female friendly style for | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
the women in the team, which will be similar to the men's but with a | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
modern twist. So what is it worth for me not to | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
ask you what you think of it? I quite like it. Still a number of | :23:04. | :23:13. | |
showers across many parts of the country tonight but they are slowly | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
fading away. Where the sky is clear we will see a patchy frost, maybe | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
icy patches as well. Still wet and windy. Day four or five for | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
Shetland. Gales through the weekend. The countryside may be lower than | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
freezing. Tomorrow showers towards Kintyre but elsewhere largely a dry | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
start but by mid to late morning rain works into Galloway, the | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
Borders, the central belt and then further North as we head through to | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
the middle part of the afternoon. So it is a deteriorating picture and by | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
mid afternoon, temperature wise, six or seven, fairly cloudy and dump. | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
Some drier slots for Glasgow and Edinburgh at times. The rain is | :24:03. | :24:11. | |
heavier in towards southern Aberdeenshire and other areas. | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
Passing showers for Orkney and passing rent for Shetland and gales | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
continue. If you are hill walking or climbing, the North West is best | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
some sunshine. After a dry start it turns damp elsewhere. On the eastern | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
ranges, largely set fair on the cane corns. -- Cairngorms. If you are | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
thinking about skiing tomorrow, you will probably get away with a dry | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
morning but towards the afternoon, slowly turning wet. The rest of the | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
afternoon, into the evening and overnight, the rain continuing to | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
slowly make its way northwards, fragmented all the time. If we look | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
at the big picture we can see what is happening overnight towards the | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
second part of the weekend. The rain, connected to this low pressure | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
in the Atlantic, and this cold front bringing an area of heavy rain | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
probably Saturday night to the central belt, something to bear in | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
mind if you are out on the town. By Sunday morning, white across | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
Aberdeenshire, down towards Dundee and up towards Inverness. South West | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
of year, dry and bright. One or two passing showers. Some sunshine. | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
Monday, the rain still in play across Shetland. Still blowing a | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
gale. Elsewhere, clarity. Temperatures down a notch. Sunday is | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
the better of the two days this weekend. | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
Now back to our main story - the search for three-year-old Mikaeel | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
Kular, who's now been missing for almost two days. Tonight police said | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
they couldn't rule out the possibility that he'd been the | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
subject of a criminal act. Our reporter Laura Maxwell is at the | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
headquarters of Police Scotland in Edinburgh tonight. What's the | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
latest, Laura? It is safe to say that the mood here | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
is subdued. Officers now say they are gravely concerned about the | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
well-being of Mikaeel Kular given the length of time he has been | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
missing. There has been a huge police presence on the streets of | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
the North of Edinburgh during the day. Everywhere you go you can see | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
officers searching for the missing three-year-old. Police cars, vans, | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
dog units moving around the city. Officers have said they are keeping | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
an open mind about what might have happened. Tonight they admitted that | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
it is entirely possible that Mikaeel has been the subject of a criminal | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
act. They are running a twin approach to the operation, on the | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
one hand a massive search and on the other hand they are repairing and | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
investigating the possibility that a criminal act may have happened. | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
Tonight the search will continue and they are asking anyone with | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
information to contact them. Thanks. Now a reminder of tonight's | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
main news: A Dublin man has been convicted of killing his mother and | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
then cutting up her body before burying her remains at an Edinburgh | :27:11. | :27:12. | |
beauty spot. 40-year old Seamus Dunleavy was | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
found guilty of the culpable homicide of 66-year-old Philomena | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
Dunleavy on the grounds of diminished responsibility. | :27:18. | :27:19. | |
The Labour Leader, Ed Miliband, has outlined his plans to break up | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
Britain's high street banks if his party wins the next election. He | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
says it's time for a reckoning with the industry, and that a Labour | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
Government would create at least two so-called challenger banks. The | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
Government says it's done that already. | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
