:02:38. > :02:44.searched, Mikaeel was already dead. Today Rosdeep Adekoya admitted in
:02:45. > :02:47.court that she killed her son. He had not been at nursery since the
:02:48. > :02:52.Christmas holidays and because he was sick he did not go with his
:02:53. > :02:56.brothers and sisters on the 13th of January. His mother says she put him
:02:57. > :03:04.to bed on the 15th and when she went to wake him he was not there. She
:03:05. > :03:10.dialled 999. She said she thought Mikaeel had climbed up onto a stool

:03:41. > :03:46.The community came together, there were young children, youths who were

:03:58. > :04:04.There was no sign of Mikaeel. The search became nationwide, and then

:04:09. > :04:17.young boy in Fife shortly before midnight.
:04:18. > :04:21.Mikaeel's body was found 25 miles away in woodland behind his aunt's
:04:22. > :04:25.house. The mother and her children had lived there 18 months
:04:26. > :04:29.previously. On the Sunday before he died, the court was told, his mother
:04:30. > :04:34.had gone out for dinner with her children. When they got home the
:04:35. > :04:40.child was sick. His mum lost her temper and hit him. That happened on
:04:41. > :04:44.three occasions that evening. Mikaeel suffered more than 40
:04:45. > :04:48.injuries and it is thought a blow to his abdomen caused his death. He got
:04:49. > :04:51.worse over the next couple of days. His mother was worried about the
:04:52. > :04:55.bruising so did not take him to His mother was worried about the

:05:16. > :05:19.to a search that could never have ended any other way. The court heard
:05:20. > :05:25.that social services were keeping an eye on the family. In May 2012 it
:05:26. > :05:29.said that the mother's attitude changed and she was going out

:05:34. > :05:40.and his twin were taken into care but the following year they lived
:05:41. > :05:46.back together again. The family had been monitored by social services
:05:47. > :05:52.but by December that stopped. Today Mikaeel's father was in court to
:05:53. > :05:55.hear how his son died. He gave no reaction. Neighbours who had been

:08:07. > :08:12.pedalling through treacle, well over a second in front of their
:08:13. > :08:17.opponents. We went so fast and paid for it a
:08:18. > :08:21.lot, the last lap was our most painful experience and I am glad we
:08:22. > :08:30.could hang on and do this for the crowd. I am so proud. The first part
:08:31. > :08:34.of the race you can't -- caught up in everything you have done in
:08:35. > :08:38.training, and then you get caught up in fatigue and you are aware of the
:08:39. > :08:42.occasion and the crowd and the noise keeps you going for the last couple
:08:43. > :08:48.of laps. They will be back out on the track
:08:49. > :08:54.tomorrow, as will another Scot, Katy Archibald. She could only finish

:09:13. > :09:15.And you have news of another Scottish medal
:09:16. > :09:29.I do indeed, and it is another gold in judo. After last night's
:09:30. > :09:34.glittering performances, a short while ago Sarah Clark from Edinburgh
:09:35. > :09:39.was fighting for gold in the 63 kilograms category, hoping to better
:09:40. > :09:45.the silver medal she won at the Manchester Commonwealth Games 12
:09:46. > :10:00.years ago. Here is how it happened. This is the transition now. She has
:10:01. > :10:04.got the roll and now she is going to go for the arm. The arm is out
:10:05. > :10:11.straight, she gets the submission. That is the gold medal.
:10:12. > :10:18.I feel like I have done it because of the crowd as well. I have my
:10:19. > :10:29.family and friends here, and the clubs and stuff, and this was for
:10:30. > :10:33.Scotland and for them as well. Patrick Dawson has lost in his
:10:34. > :10:38.bronze medal fight and we are still waiting to hear about Sally Conway.
:10:39. > :10:43.The standard was set last night by the Renicks sisters. I caught up
:10:44. > :10:48.with them this morning and they explained the financial and personal
:10:49. > :10:52.cost to them of winning gold. Unknown yesterday but sporting
:10:53. > :10:55.history today, the sisters are enjoying all of their well-deserved
:10:56. > :11:00.attention brought by their fig trees last night.
:11:01. > :11:09.I am so proud and overwhelmed, it is a great experience to kick off with
:11:10. > :11:12.a medal. Our dad sent a really nice text in the morning saying whatever
:11:13. > :11:17.happens he is proud of us anyway but he said he believed we could medal.
:11:18. > :11:22.Today at their home in he said he believed we could medal.
:11:23. > :11:30.their parents admitted yesterday's action brought other emotions.
:11:31. > :11:35.Really nervous, and relief as well. We know they have been working up to
:11:36. > :11:41.this. We knew they would get a medal, we were hoping for gold, and
:11:42. > :11:48.that is what they got. With the two of them getting it it is even
:11:49. > :11:51.better, so now we can celebrate. The sisters are also carers for
:11:52. > :11:58.Agnes, who suffers from a neurological condition.
:11:59. > :12:10.You must be very close to the girl as well, does that make it special?
:12:11. > :12:14.It does, but don't tell them that! The sisters have received great
:12:15. > :12:19.support from their family but they revealed the enormous financial cost
:12:20. > :12:26.of the campaign to win gold. It is about ?25,000. Judo is a
:12:27. > :12:29.national sport all around the world so you have to travel to other
:12:30. > :12:33.national sport all around the world places to get the fights and the
:12:34. > :12:40.competitions, it is not like you just travel down to England and
:12:41. > :12:43.back, you go to Samoa, Japan, the other end of the world, and then
:12:44. > :12:46.France and that, other end of the world, and then
:12:47. > :12:49.travelling, but this is what we wanted to do.
:12:50. > :12:52.travelling, but this is what we Are these financial hits of concern
:12:53. > :12:59.to Sportscotland? We think we have a good system.
:13:00. > :13:07.There is no doubt that we have to set a standard and we think we have
:13:08. > :13:10.a good partnership at the moment and we will continue to try to improve
:13:11. > :13:17.it. Where did the gold medals rest last
:13:18. > :13:22.night? I had it just by my bed so I could see it when I woke up in the
:13:23. > :13:27.morning. Well done to the Renicks sisters,
:13:28. > :13:34.but I am going back in the whole three, definitely the place to see,
:13:35. > :13:38.to see if Sally Conway can win that bronze medal. More judo tomorrow,
:13:39. > :13:42.including Scotland's flag bearer, bronze medal. More judo tomorrow,
:13:43. > :13:53.we look forward to bringing you details of that.
:13:54. > :13:56.The 20-year-old swimmer surprised everyone last night

:13:59. > :14:03.Aileen Clarke has been to the town where he learned to swim.
:14:04. > :14:10.In Vale of Lieven in western bar to ensure the talk today was of the
:14:11. > :14:18.local lad whose medal has given the area something to smile about. We
:14:19. > :14:22.were talking about that young boy in the bookies, how great he was. It is
:14:23. > :14:25.good to get some good news for a change.
:14:26. > :14:27.Last night it seemed Ross Murdoch could not leave what he had done,
:14:28. > :14:36.smashing his personal best Commonwealth record.
:14:37. > :14:44.I want to get some sleep eventually. It took me some time to understand
:14:45. > :14:49.what I did and I finally got some sleep, about five hours. Team-mate
:14:50. > :14:53.Michael Jamieson was quick to pay is the man who beat him to gold. He has
:14:54. > :14:59.written his name in the history books last night but I know he will
:15:00. > :15:04.have his eye on the 100 as well. He will be dangerous tomorrow night in
:15:05. > :15:08.the final. At the Vale of Lieven swimming pool
:15:09. > :15:13.where Ross used to swim and his dad coaches they were glued to the 100
:15:14. > :15:19.metres heat this morning and still basking in last night's victory.
:15:20. > :15:28.Fantastic, this will have a big effect on the whole area. I am
:15:29. > :15:31.absolutely thrilled that he came home with the gold medal, it is
:15:32. > :15:38.fantastic for Scotland that they have those boys on the podium. This
:15:39. > :15:44.was Ross's club and pool until he went to university so there is
:15:45. > :15:49.immense pride here. The members here swam with him, met with him, there
:15:50. > :15:57.were shouts, tears, every emotion, and all of these guys were glued to
:15:58. > :16:00.the TV last night. It was amazing. Even from the age of 12 training
:16:01. > :16:08.partners say Ross's talent was clear. Even from that age he stood
:16:09. > :16:12.out with his natural talent and even myself I always knew he was going to
:16:13. > :16:17.make it very far in the sport and do very well.
:16:18. > :16:24.There are some very excited people in the pool. Who watched the
:16:25. > :16:28.swimming last night? Me! What do you want to say the Ross today? Go,
:16:29. > :16:32.Ross, go, Ross... Although Glasgow is hosting
:16:33. > :16:35.the Games, not all of the events Apart from the triathlon at
:16:36. > :16:39.Strathclyde Park, and the diving in Edinburgh, the most remote venue is
:16:40. > :16:42.the shooting at Carnoustie. That got under way today, and although the
:16:43. > :16:45.Scots haven't done so well, there's been plenty to keep
:16:46. > :16:56.the crowds entertained, It is over 90 miles away from
:16:57. > :17:03.Glasgow but the spirit of the games is very much alive here, a venue
:17:04. > :17:07.more commonly used by the MoD, now transformed into an impressive
:17:08. > :17:13.harbour of action for the shooting. It is very different, a different
:17:14. > :17:18.kind of shooting to the military would use. It is a temporary build
:17:19. > :17:21.and we are using an existing range as well.
:17:22. > :17:27.The crowds have certainly enjoyed what I have seen so far. It is
:17:28. > :17:32.fantastic and it is really important if there is something on your
:17:33. > :17:36.doorstep to support it. It is a good venue, unbelievable weather. This is
:17:37. > :17:41.the only time we have come up and it is sunny, unbelievable. What about
:17:42. > :17:47.the competitors? It has been a tough day for some of the Scots. Sian
:17:48. > :17:52.Bruce followed to qualify in the women's skeet event. Can we expect
:17:53. > :17:58.more from the Queens prize pairs? I spoke to one of the Scots involved
:17:59. > :18:05.in today's's events. You have to shoot 1000 yards, how do
:18:06. > :18:14.you do it? It is not that different from shooting 50 or 25 metres, but
:18:15. > :18:19.it is the wind the thing - that is the thing, so you need to read the
:18:20. > :18:24.wind. That is just what we do, it is fun and challenging.
:18:25. > :18:34.It has been a fantastic day here today, the weather has been
:18:35. > :18:40.spectacular, but the haar is coming in. We should see the conclusion of
:18:41. > :18:44.the 600 yards tomorrow. Both spectators and athletes will be
:18:45. > :18:48.hoping the weather holds out for tomorrow. As these competitors from
:18:49. > :18:51.Antigua may find out later in the week, the weather is not always like
:18:52. > :18:55.this at Carnoustie. Meanwhile,
:18:56. > :18:56.the Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said there was "no question"
:18:57. > :18:59.that the Red Arrows would change the colour of their smoke trails to
:19:00. > :19:02.represent the Scottish flag His remarks follow reports that
:19:03. > :19:05.the RAF aerobatic team was forced to change its smoke from blue
:19:06. > :19:08.and white to its usual red, Glasgow 2014 says there had been
:19:09. > :19:14.discussions over using blue and white smoke, but that this was
:19:15. > :19:20.not "formally requested". Dozens of schools across Scotland
:19:21. > :19:22.are delaying the introduction of new-look Highers in popular
:19:23. > :19:24.subjects. That's according to research for BBC Scotland. The exams
:19:25. > :19:28.are being introduced this year to tie them in with the replacement for
:19:29. > :19:32.Standard Grades. But some schools have chosen to hold off for a year.

:20:07. > :20:10.of the festival but it is competing for viewers with a certain sporting
:20:11. > :20:15.event. For us to be 100 miles outside of
:20:16. > :20:22.Glasgow and not expect it to have an impact was very naive. There are far
:20:23. > :20:25.fewer people here this year but those who are here will have a
:20:26. > :20:30.fantastic time, with more grass to sit on and more beer to drink.
:20:31. > :20:32.Back now to Glasgow's hosting of the Commonwealth Games.
:20:33. > :20:35.Let's just take a moment to reflect on how the city's been handling
:20:36. > :20:37.the hundreds of thousands of visitors this week.
:20:38. > :20:40.Our Games reporter Jane Lewis is at George Square in the city centre.
:20:41. > :20:43.Jane, give us a sense of how the organisers - and indeed the visitors
:20:44. > :20:51.Take a look at this place, it is heaving. People are queueing up to
:20:52. > :20:56.get their hands on heaving. People are queueing up to
:20:57. > :21:02.goodies, even queueing up to get their picture taken in front of this
:21:03. > :21:07.wonderful colourful structure. There are around an extra 100,000 people
:21:08. > :21:12.coming to the city everyday and it seems on the face of it that they
:21:13. > :21:17.city is coping pretty well with the extra demand. People keep talking
:21:18. > :21:21.about the friendliness of the locals and in terms of transport I have not
:21:22. > :21:25.heard too many complaints about people getting to the games. There
:21:26. > :21:29.have been no horror stories of people struggling to get to the
:21:30. > :21:35.venues and the people working in the city it has been pretty quiet on
:21:36. > :21:41.that front. It is only two days in the Glasgow 2014 but I wonder if it
:21:42. > :21:49.points to the transport system being put in place before the game all
:21:50. > :21:55.working pretty smoothly. Last night Team Scotland 110 medals and today
:21:56. > :22:06.they have added two, and they have been gold medals. Let's have a look
:22:07. > :22:09.at the table. There could be more in the swimming this evening, look out
:22:10. > :22:14.for Robbie Rennick and James Wallace.
:22:15. > :22:18.Police Scotland say they will be mounting their biggest ever

:22:26. > :22:30.expecting the biggest ever weekend under way at Ibrox tomorrow,
:22:31. > :22:33.continuing on Sunday. The athletics events get under way on Sunday as
:22:34. > :22:39.well so they will be the hot spots. There will be cultural events taking
:22:40. > :22:43.place as well tied in with the games, extra people going to
:22:44. > :22:53.specific areas around the city, but it is fair to say it is only day two

:23:12. > :23:19.Here is the earlier satellite picture, almost wall-to-wall
:23:20. > :23:24.sunshine, and the haar will extend across a good part of eastern
