:00:09.:00:13.

on Friday, have been named by police.

:00:14.:00:15.

Saadia Ahmad died at the scene of the crash near Linlithgow.

:00:16.:00:18.

Nine-year-old Ayasha died yesterday in hospital.

:00:19.:00:20.

Ayasha 's father and two brothers, aged 10 and 14,

:00:21.:00:24.

A man driving the other vehicle also died on Friday night.

:00:25.:00:31.

Campaigners are calling for legal protection

:00:32.:00:32.

BBC Scotland has learned heavily pregnant beavers are among those

:00:33.:00:38.

which have been shot on Tayside by farmers and landowners.

:00:39.:00:41.

Our environment correspondent, David Miller, reports.

:00:42.:00:45.

Beavers have been reintroduced here as part of an official trial,

:00:46.:00:57.

On Tayside, landowners have said that the beavers living there damage

:00:58.:00:59.

Beavers shot on Tayside are brought here to Edinburgh Zoo

:01:00.:01:04.

The post-mortem results obtained by BBC Scotland show vets have

:01:05.:01:09.

We now know beavers, which were heavily pregnant or had

:01:10.:01:17.

recently given birth are among those killed, that has led

:01:18.:01:20.

to calls for a close season on animal welfare grounds.

:01:21.:01:22.

And questions have been raised about long it would have taken some

:01:23.:01:25.

If somebody has used a gun to shoot and the animal has moved and moved

:01:26.:01:31.

out of range and the animal has been wounded, that is sad but that,

:01:32.:01:36.

unfortunately, is a product of a situation where a lack

:01:37.:01:39.

of action by the authorities over the years has effectively left

:01:40.:01:44.

the farmers being the only ones doing the management in that area.

:01:45.:01:48.

The beavers are here and the Scottish Government has

:01:49.:01:51.

decided to tolerate them, so it is really up to them

:01:52.:01:53.

to reflect public opinion and give them some protection.

:01:54.:01:58.

A spokeswoman for the Environment Minister, Dr Aileen McLeod, said...

:01:59.:02:00.

Campaigners fear that decision will not come in time to protect

:02:01.:02:15.

Tayside's beavers during this year's breeding season.

:02:16.:02:17.

David Millar, BBC News, Edinburgh.

:02:18.:02:30.

There was to be no Scottish treble at the Australian Open,

:02:31.:02:33.

as Andy Murray was beaten by Novak Djokovic.

:02:34.:02:35.

Older brother Jamie triumphed in the men's doubles yesterday,

:02:36.:02:37.

while Gordon Reid won the wheelchair singles.

:02:38.:02:39.

They dominated pre-match... Go, Novak! Whoo!

:02:40.:02:46.

..and their man dominated during it, Novak Djokovic taking the first five

:02:47.:02:49.

games as the first set disappeared, 6-1.

:02:50.:02:51.

Andy Murray made more of a fight of the second,

:02:52.:02:53.

which he lost, after being broken at 5-5.

:02:54.:02:55.

But two double faults ruined his tie-break.

:02:56.:02:59.

And before he knew it, Murray was facing championship point.

:03:00.:03:04.

A record-equalling sixth title for the world number one and another

:03:05.:03:06.

painful defeat for the world number two.

:03:07.:03:10.

I am proud that I got into this position.

:03:11.:03:12.

I am now looking forward to getting home now.

:03:13.:03:18.

Andy Murray is already on the plane home.

:03:19.:03:20.

About to become a dad, he says he has books on parenthood

:03:21.:03:23.

He has also got plenty of time to reflect on how he can get

:03:24.:03:28.

the better of Novak Djokovic, who has beaten him in four

:03:29.:03:30.

of the five finals Andy Murray has contested here.

:03:31.:03:36.

Football, and Ross County and Celtic played the second

:03:37.:03:38.

If you don't want to know the score before Sportscene,
