:01:24. > :01:38.Declan Hainey was found in his court at his mother's flat in March 2010.
:01:39. > :01:47.He had been dead for about eight months. Rubbish, soiled nappies,
:01:48. > :01:52.half filled baby bottles were all over the flat but in other places
:01:53. > :01:57.there were neat shelves of baby clothes. He was about 15 months old
:01:58. > :02:02.when he died. His mother was found guilty of his murder but was
:02:03. > :02:07.acquitted on appeal. She was found to have suffered a miscarriage of
:02:08. > :02:10.justice. At the start of proceedings, the sheriff said this
:02:11. > :02:16.was an enquiry into what might be known about the circumstances and
:02:17. > :02:20.facts of the death. He says now one stands accused of anything, this is
:02:21. > :02:27.not a fault finding exercise and as far as possible is a fact finding
:02:28. > :02:34.one. The first witness to give evidence was Kim's mother. She had
:02:35. > :02:39.lived with her while pregnant but was put out of the house for taking
:02:40. > :02:44.heroin. After Declan Hainey arrived they all lived at her home. Kim was
:02:45. > :02:49.on a methadone programme and her mother said she was doing great.
:02:50. > :02:56.Five months later they moved to Bristol Road. She saw them regularly

:03:09. > :03:12.She said it broke her heart and challenged her daughter but if she
:03:13. > :03:17.fell out she would not bring him to see her. She told the enquiry it was

:03:48. > :03:50.its theatres, following another critical report from inspectors.
:03:51. > :03:52.It follows an unannounced visit which found contaminated instrument

:04:18. > :04:24.for? They are regularly going around uncomfortable, what else can you ask
:04:25. > :04:29.cleaning and I felt good and relaxed uncomfortable, what else can you ask
:04:30. > :04:35.and in a clean environment. That was not the experience of inspectors on
:04:36. > :04:39.an unannounced visit. Although improved on previous checks, they
:04:40. > :04:45.found stealing, blood spotting and sometimes high levels of dust. At
:04:46. > :04:48.one point inspectors witnessed a porter transferring medical waste
:04:49. > :04:54.onto a trolley without protective clothing. One of the bags split
:04:55. > :05:00.causing blood to spell. That incident was deemed so serious it
:05:01. > :05:04.was reported to the Health and Safety Executive. The man
:05:05. > :05:12.responsible told me inspection rates are low and he is pleased with
:05:13. > :05:18.progress. If everything was 100%, we would not need inspections on the
:05:19. > :05:22.way we have them today. They are to support us on an ongoing basis,
:05:23. > :05:29.way we have them today. They are to get things right. To be honest, it
:05:30. > :05:32.will never be 100% every time. New procedures are being put in place on
:05:33. > :05:39.the ward and it is hoped the next inspection will show improvements.

:06:56. > :07:00.Although life expectancy rates are improving, they are improving more
:07:01. > :07:05.slowly and the gap is widening. The UK government is unlikely to do
:07:06. > :07:09.anything around the pension age which is why with independence we
:07:10. > :07:15.would set up the commission to look at the affordability and CMS of the
:07:16. > :07:19.retirement age. Critics say Scots generally benefit from the union and
:07:20. > :07:26.the UK's broad economic base funds pensions. The truth of the matter is
:07:27. > :07:31.that by spreading the whole cost, pensions are safer than they would
:07:32. > :07:34.be otherwise. That is something the Scottish government might not want
:07:35. > :07:38.to hear but it is the truth of the matter. They can make a difference
:07:39. > :07:41.and can do that by matter. They can make a difference
:07:42. > :07:42.and can do that using the powers of education and health that they

:07:51. > :07:54.daydreaming. Pensions are now clearly at the corner of the

:08:03. > :08:06.people who can lead to a certain degree in the past, but this issue
:08:07. > :08:13.of pensions is very controversial and very pertinent. It is about the

:08:54. > :09:09.what happened? Organisers had promised this would
:09:10. > :09:14.be the final sprint for tickets but it has turned into something of a
:09:15. > :09:19.marathon! When people logged in they were told to expect maybe a 30
:09:20. > :09:25.minute wait but hours later, some people are still waiting. Some of
:09:26. > :09:29.these people have been venting their frustrations. They have come out
:09:30. > :09:35.with comments saying it is an absolute joke. One person trying to
:09:36. > :09:41.buy tickets all day is Peter Carrollton and when we spoke to him
:09:42. > :09:47.at 5pm he was still waiting. It is a farce. They do not seem to be able
:09:48. > :09:58.to cope with this and they are not communicating with people to let
:09:59. > :10:04.them know. People want to buy the tickets but they have a life to
:10:05. > :10:11.live. Here I am sitting still waiting. What are the organisers say
:10:12. > :10:15.in? They are blaming unprecedented demand but say it may be something
:10:16. > :10:19.to do with the number of people trying to access the site solely are
:10:20. > :10:24.trying to control the number and get a small number through each time,
:10:25. > :10:29.but they say they are still tickets they are for people if they want
:10:30. > :10:34.them. It is hugely frustrating when people are so excited that we have
:10:35. > :10:38.problems but the focus is on fixing those problems and we are hoping we
:10:39. > :10:44.have now done that and can increase the flow of people. We are told
:10:45. > :10:49.plenty of tickets still left but I tried to get some today and just
:10:50. > :10:54.before I went on a this was what I was eventually pleated wet. I got

:11:34. > :11:38.overshadowed that. I spoke to the Commonwealth Games Federation and
:11:39. > :11:44.they sympathised with people trying to get hold of tickets but it shows
:11:45. > :11:49.how popular the games are turning it to be and when it comes to the

:12:22. > :12:26.She was involved in the 2002 games. I was handed it by a young Scottish
:12:27. > :12:31.boxer and I found it quite heavy to start with to run with, and I had
:12:32. > :12:39.all my children from the school supporting me wearing football
