The trial into the stabbing of a 16-year-old boy at a school

:00:00.:00:20.

in Aberdeen has been shown footage of a police interview,

:00:21.:00:22.

in which the accused admitted stabbing his fellow pupil.

:00:23.:00:27.

The boy on trial for killing Bailey Gwynne at Cults Academy last

:00:28.:00:30.

October denies murder, and says he carried a knife

:00:31.:00:32.

Steven Duff reports from the High Court in Aberdeen.

:00:33.:00:43.

The end of the third day of the Bailey Gwynne murder trial

:00:44.:00:48.

and the accused is driven away, after a day of evidence concerned

:00:49.:00:51.

mainly with his interview with police the day

:00:52.:00:53.

after the stabbing at the Cults Academy.

:00:54.:00:59.

He said he had taken the knife to scare Bailey

:01:00.:01:01.

He said, I didn't mean to, but I stabbed him.

:01:02.:01:14.

Bailey died after a single wound to the heart and the accused said

:01:15.:01:18.

He broke down in tears and said he did try to save him and he told

:01:19.:01:26.

police he carried a knife in school because he never fitted

:01:27.:01:28.

Earlier, police computer expert Charles Bruce gave evidence

:01:29.:01:38.

about the examination of a laptop belonging to the accused.

:01:39.:01:41.

Mr Bruce outlined some of the Google searches found in the computer,

:01:42.:01:46.

on two occasions there was searches for the difference

:01:47.:01:48.

On a number of occasions searches for knives and knuckle-dusters.

:01:49.:02:01.

And at the beginning of October last year,

:02:02.:02:03.

the search for how to get rid of someone annoying.

:02:04.:02:06.

Under cross-examination, Mr Bruce agreed he had not checked

:02:07.:02:10.

what the searches actually brought up and he did not know

:02:11.:02:13.

The accused denies murder and two charges of possessing weapons,

:02:14.:02:16.

The First Minister has angrily denied suggestions that she's ready

:02:17.:02:26.

Fracking is a means of extracting oil and gas onshore from shale.

:02:27.:02:34.

Challenged by Labour, Nicola Sturgeon said she wouldn't

:02:35.:02:36.

take risks, while big questions remained unanswered.

:02:37.:02:40.

This from our political editor Brian Taylor.

:02:41.:02:49.

fracturing subterranean rock by the injection of water

:02:50.:02:56.

The purpose, to release deep-seated oil and gas.

:02:57.:03:06.

As Scotland's North Sea riches subside, there is pressure

:03:07.:03:10.

to consider different exploration, and the complex process has meant

:03:11.:03:13.

Scotland has endorsed action, but as Nicola Sturgeon knows,

:03:14.:03:19.

it is opposed by environmental campaigners.

:03:20.:03:23.

She has ordered a moratorium while research is gathered.

:03:24.:03:29.

Labour has hardened its line against fracking.

:03:30.:03:40.

Kezia Dugdale claimed the study was simply postponing the inevitable.

:03:41.:03:44.

All the signs are, they are going to go ahead and do it anyway.

:03:45.:03:48.

Labour would not allow fracking in Scotland.

:03:49.:03:49.

No fracking in Scotland because there is a moratorium

:03:50.:03:54.

on fracking and that is what a moratorium means,

:03:55.:03:58.

it is not allowed to happen because we will not take risks

:03:59.:04:02.

with our environment whilst they are so many unanswered questions.

:04:03.:04:08.

The study should be complete by Midsummer, that will be

:04:09.:04:12.

followed by a consultation lasting until the spring,

:04:13.:04:14.

and then a ministerial decision in 2017.

:04:15.:04:20.

A moratorium is not a ban and the Scottish Government policy

:04:21.:04:22.

But the Labour side are very much anti-fracking.

:04:23.:04:43.

Microstation's words said moratorium, but her tone said van.

:04:44.:04:46.

Under-18s are to be banned from buying e-cigarettes.

:04:47.:04:48.

A bill passed by the Scottish Government will also limit

:04:49.:04:51.

Meanwhile the European union is discussing whether or not to tax

:04:52.:04:54.

e-cigarettes at the same level as tobacco.

:04:55.:04:56.

These shops have become common on our high streets in recent years.

:04:57.:05:00.

E-cigarettes help to wean people off tobacco, although they do

:05:01.:05:03.

still contain nicotine, but a ban will make it illegal now

:05:04.:05:06.

to sell e-cigarettes to under 18 is in line with cigarettes.

:05:07.:05:13.

We want to make sure they are not available to young people under 18

:05:14.:05:17.

and it will be an offence to purchase e-cigarettes

:05:18.:05:20.

if you are under 18 but also an offence for older people to buy

:05:21.:05:24.

European proposals could mean more regulation if it is taxed

:05:25.:05:32.

at the same rate as tobacco and there are concerns this might

:05:33.:05:35.

disadvantage people trying to stop smoking.

:05:36.:05:39.

All the research we have, they are safer than tobacco,

:05:40.:05:45.

and so not to act or to try and make them more expensive is the wrong

:05:46.:05:50.

approach, and I think maybe governments are looking at this

:05:51.:05:52.

as a revenue raising measure but I would rather they taxed

:05:53.:05:55.

It could put people coming to make the switch to e-cigarettes,

:05:56.:06:06.

it is a big benefit to people, it is a big incentive for people

:06:07.:06:09.

coming in, looking at ?10 for a packet of cigarettes or ?10

:06:10.:06:12.

The laws are catching up with the rapidly expanding market.

:06:13.:06:23.

When you are talking about e-cigarettes you are not

:06:24.:06:25.

talking about one thing, there are three different

:06:26.:06:27.

generations on sale and maybe 8000 flavours and you cannot say one

:06:28.:06:30.

thing applies to all of them and there is a lot of unknowns

:06:31.:06:34.

and I don't think we will have the picture for a few years.

:06:35.:06:40.

The under-18s rule will now become law and for next year there will be

:06:41.:06:44.

more restrictions as to how vaping products are marketed.

:06:45.:06:51.

A campaign has been launched to cut the number of farm fires

:06:52.:06:54.

Farmers are being encouraged to have their properties assessed,

:06:55.:06:59.

to reduce the risk of fire breaking out.

:07:00.:07:01.

Again, we have hazards, chemicals, oils.

:07:02.:07:10.

On a farm it seems there is no end of things to cause a fire,

:07:11.:07:13.

exacerbate one, or put firefighters in danger.

:07:14.:07:17.

A blaze would be fought by crews from nearby Lanark.

:07:18.:07:26.

This is a shed, where we had a fire in 1998.

:07:27.:07:37.

He understands the damage fire can course.

:07:38.:07:42.

We lost grain and the shed was damaged and there was cattle

:07:43.:07:47.

in the shed at the time but we managed to get them out.

:07:48.:07:57.

Farm fires are on the increase in Scotland, nearly 3500

:07:58.:08:03.

Of them, 2800 were smaller fires, maybe burning grassland,

:08:04.:08:09.

or rubbish, but some major incidents involving the loss of buildings

:08:10.:08:14.

To prevent scenes like this, the Fire Service hope to have

:08:15.:08:21.

all farms in South Lanarkshire and Galloway surveyed to identify

:08:22.:08:26.

hazards, fuel tanks, cylinders and other flammable materials.

:08:27.:08:34.

Also water sources to fight a fire, conventional or otherwise.

:08:35.:08:40.

The information is collated into a 3D plan, accessible

:08:41.:08:43.

by computer from fire engines on their way to an incident.

:08:44.:08:46.

It is important that this much preplanning can be done as possible

:08:47.:08:49.

to make the incident commander aware and plan for what he is approaching

:08:50.:08:54.

You do not want to do this at three o'clock in the morning

:08:55.:08:59.

when it is pitch black and there is much greater risk.

:09:00.:09:07.

Celtic's manager Ronny Deila held a clear-the-air meeting with players

:09:08.:09:10.

Last night he described the team's performance in their goalless draw

:09:11.:09:16.

Celtic's lead at the top of the Premiership to four points.

:09:17.:09:21.

The air filled with the noise of disgruntled Celtic fans unhappy

:09:22.:09:36.

with their side's lacklustre performance.

:09:37.:09:37.

Clearing the air, the order of today.

:09:38.:09:39.

A meeting held by Celtic players and staff as they strive for better

:09:40.:09:42.

in the vital Scottish Cup quarter-final match

:09:43.:09:44.

Everyone sits in their own cage thinking of them of themselves.

:09:45.:09:51.

We have to clear the air and agree how we go forward.

:09:52.:09:59.

We obviously aren't doing it when it matters

:10:00.:10:04.

We need to, there was a connection with us and the managers.

:10:05.:10:10.

We need personally to perform to our maximum in the games.

:10:11.:10:17.

Aberdeen narrowed the gab with a 1-0 victory.

:10:18.:10:21.

Their manager wary when it comes to talk of title challenges.

:10:22.:10:26.

For us to force the issue with ten games to go,

:10:27.:10:32.

we'll have to make sure there's noshipiness,

:10:33.:10:42.

-- we'll have to make sure there's no sloppiness,

:10:43.:10:44.

room for error and keep winning games.

:10:45.:10:45.

The gap at the top of the table is down to four points.

:10:46.:10:50.

The boos rang out at Celtic Park last night.

:10:51.:10:52.

Defeat against Morton this weekend is unthinkable.

:10:53.:10:54.

Do you fear defeat this weekend could be the end

:10:55.:10:56.

We want to win the game on Sunday, we want to have a good performance.

:10:57.:11:08.

Let's get the weather outlook for tonight and tomorrow

:11:09.:11:15.

The cold theme stays with us, but at least we saw some signs of spring

:11:16.:11:30.

today. This picture sent in with these beautiful daffodils. There is

:11:31.:11:35.

a office warning for ice tonight and also Snow for southern Scotland.

:11:36.:11:39.

This weather front straddling the UK is generating outbreaks of rain,

:11:40.:11:46.

sleet and snow for higher ground, so just be aware for that snow warning

:11:47.:11:49.

for southern Scotland and the ice warning from the Met Office for a

:11:50.:11:52.

good part of the country away from the Western and Northern Isles, icy

:11:53.:11:58.

patches on untreated surfaces. Be aware of the ice. A chilly start,

:11:59.:12:03.

still have the legacy of the rain, sleet and snow across Scotland. Very

:12:04.:12:09.

patchy in nature, dry for the central lowlands. Further showers

:12:10.:12:09.

patchy in nature, dry for the across more northern parts and a

:12:10.:12:13.

chilly start. Snow of the higher ground. It will be windy, with a

:12:14.:12:16.

strong north-easterly wind across ground. It will be windy, with a

:12:17.:12:20.

northern areas and the West Coast. Fresh inland. That wind taking the

:12:21.:12:22.

northern areas and the West Coast. edge of the temperatures. A good

:12:23.:12:26.

deal of dry, sunny weather across western Scotland. The afternoon,

:12:27.:12:31.

eight breasts from Northern Ireland, more sunshine, loses the ring, sleet

:12:32.:12:34.

and snow. The band of wintry weather is slow-moving for Wales, northern

:12:35.:12:38.

England, it takes time to Scalia southwards. Dry with spells of

:12:39.:12:43.

sunshine. Inland, temperatures will be on the cold side, but in the

:12:44.:12:47.

sunshine in the south, about eight or 9 degrees at best. Back in

Scotland again, the temperature six or 7 degrees, perhaps 8-foot western

:12:54.:12:57.

across eastern Scotland, dry in the West with an ice risk against moral

night. High-pressure the weekend. Some showers for Eastern and

:13:12.:13:15.

north-east Scotland, wintry in nature as times. In the West, a lot

:13:16.:13:18.

of dry weather, good sunny spells generally, staying on the so-called

:13:19.:13:19.

side with winds easing down. Our next update is during Breakfast

:13:20.:13:21.
