A 16-year-old boy has been found guilty of killing the teenager | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Bailey Gwynne at an Aberdeen school last October. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Bailey died after being stabbed in the chest after an argument. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
The killer, who can't be named for legal reasons, | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
was not convicted of murder, but was found guilty of | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
the lesser charge of culpable homicide. | :00:34. | :00:34. | |
Bailey Gwynne's family leave court after the jury's decisions that the | :00:35. | :00:46. | |
16-year-old was not the victim of murder, but instead the lesser | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
charge of culpable homicide. Do you believe that any justice has been | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
done today? Bailey died after being stabbed by a fellow pupil in October | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
last year. The trial had heard that during the lunch break, Bailey and | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
the other teenager started arguing and then fighting. The other | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
teenager then took out a knife and stabbed Bailey in the chest, | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
penetrating his heart. Despite efforts to save him, it Bailey died | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
of a catastrophic loss of blood. The next day, the teenager was charged | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
with murder. There are challenges when you are dealing with children | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
who have witnessed one of their friends dying. And teachers who have | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
assisted in trying to save Bailey's life. So real challenge is trying to | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
manage witnesses and making sure we get the evidence we need, in terms | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
of the investigation. In the days afterwards, hundreds of tributes | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
were left outside the school gate in afterwards, hundreds of tributes | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
memory of Bailey, who has been described as "A soft, caring boy.". | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
There are no words that can sum this up for us. The emotional impact of | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
what happened last year and it is so hard to make sense of Bailey's | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
death. We should remember that, at the heart of this, where two | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
children. And there can be no greater tragedy than the untimely | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
death of a young person. The trial heard that the teenager who had | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
killed Bailey had been seen in school in the months leading up to | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
it with knives and knuckle-dusters. We also know the headteacher several | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
years previously had had to warn the teenager personally about the danger | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
of carrying knives. Can I ask you why the headteacher warned the | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
teenager about knives? We are not taking any questions. Are you aware | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
of what the state of knives in Aberdeen scores is? Do you have any | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
statistics? -- Aberdeen schools. Despite his conviction and because | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
of his age, the teenager who killed Bailey Gwynne still cannot be | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
legally identified. He is being held in custody and will be sentenced | :03:01. | :03:01. | |
next month. It's emerged that Bailey Gwynne's | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
killer had attacked before. Parents of a boy he injured had | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
warned the authorities that he would go on to commit | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
a far more serious crime. Schoolmates at first shocked | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
and numbed by what seemed to be the random killing of a gentle | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
teenager by a fellow pupil. And he was quite a strong boy, | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
so he'd be hitting the gym a lot. He didn't deserve anything | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
like what happened. And everyone agreed Bailey | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
was an innocent, quiet lad. So why did a killer plunge | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
a knife into his heart? The jury heard that a fight started | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
after he refused to hand And evidence that Bailey's attacker | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
regularly had a knife What the jury couldn't be | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
told was that the killer BBC Scotland has learned that | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
concerns were raised repeatedly about Bailey's killer as long | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
ago as primary school. In 2007, he attacked another people | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
with rocks in this lane. The victim ended up | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
in hospital with concussion. There were other concerns | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
about his behaviour. The injured boy's parents contacted | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
police and the school. In the years that followed, | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
they became increasingly frustrated by what they saw as a lack | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
of effective action. In documents that we have seen, | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
those same parents make That their son's attacker | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
would go on to commit a far The parents took their fears | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
to this local councillor. She pressed senior education | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
officials for action. In desperation, she took her fears | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
to the authority's Chief Executive. Well, I passed it to senior | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
staff, who carried out... And the information was already | :04:45. | :04:54. | |
underway as an inquiry by the police, so we had to be very | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
careful, as a council. And then, from there, | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
it was quite a lengthy time. And the concerns were continually | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
being raised and I kept raising them In desperation, the parents turned | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
to their MP for help, frustrated by an apparent | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
lack of firm action. There was nobody that had sufficient | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
oversight of everything that was going on that | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
could actually say, hold on, we are trying all these | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
different things. But actually there is | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
still a problem here. The couple who had approached me | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
still weren't satisfied that their children were going to be | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
safe going to school. That the attack that had happened | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
once wasn't going to happen again. And I think that, and this is a much | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
bigger issue, this is not just this is not just about Aberdeen | :05:51. | :06:00. | |
or this particular incident, issue about what you do | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
in the circumstances, where the normal mechanisms | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
and normal protocols that have been We asked Aberdeen City Council | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
to respond to these allegations. In a statement, the authority | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
announced an independent review that It has been commissioned | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
by the council itself, And it will be chaired | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
by an independent expert, Bailey's death left a family, school | :06:22. | :06:35. | |
and community grieving. And asking questions. And some are now asking, | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
would he still be alive if authorities had acted more | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
decisively? The matter needs to be investigated further. Just to ensure | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
there is nothing we could have done, when that original assault took | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
place, that would have stopped what when that original assault took | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
happened. If nothing else, make sure we learn any lessons that have to be | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
learned. It won't bring back Bailey, sadly, but hopefully it will prevent | :07:06. | :07:06. | |
another Bailey in the future. Nato combat operations | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
in Afghanistan ended more than a year ago, but Scots | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
troops are serving still Soldiers from 2 Scots battalion have | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
been operating in the capital city, In the first of two special reports, | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
Cameron Buttle has been to Kabul, This deployment is part of an | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
operation that is part of Nato's This deployment is part of an | :07:27. | :07:42. | |
positive support mission. It is to train and develop Afghan security | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
forces. That means that, once again, hundreds of Scots troops are back on | :07:49. | :07:56. | |
the ground and Afghanistan. -- in Afghanistan. | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
The ancient city of Kabul, where dynasties ruled | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
Now one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Edging through its jammed city streets, a unit of 2 Scots. | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
They hardly blend in, but the armour of their new vehicles | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
has already proved its worth against a bomb attack | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
The only one of the tour so far. Thankfully, no injuries. | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
In busy traffic like this, if there was someone out there, | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
then it's going to be harder for them to get towards us. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
So, yeah, it means there's less chance of spotting them, | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
but, at the same time, less chance of them getting to us. | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
This move through Kabul passes not far from where a suicide bomber | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
Any part of the Afghan government is perceived as a | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Supporting the Afghan security forces is not just about | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
It's also about logistics and administration. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Basics, like making sure soldiers get paid. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
And that's what a team of international mentors is doing | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
And, outside, Scottish troops are watching | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
The 2 Scots deployment is classed by the military as force protection, | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
there for anyone working for the Nato mission. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
Since combat operations ended in 2014, the Afghans are in charge | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Since we've been here, we've conducted probably | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
And we have been targeted in that time, | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
The vast majority of incidents that do occur, and we wouldn't | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
want to overstate the number that occur, happen against the government | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
of Afghanistan or the Afghan National Security forces. | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
They are very much in the lead and we are here to support | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
And we get a lot of our protection from the Afghan national defence | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
For around half of the troops deployed here, this was their | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
For those that have served and fought before in Helmand, | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
the threat level is lower and very different. | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
But it is still very real and unlikely to change | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
A coastguard search and rescue helicopter has been carrying out | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
sweeps of the Cairngorms, as part of efforts to find | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
James Robertson left Glasgow a week ago to head to the area, | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
and was staying in a mountain bothy near the Mar Lodge Estate. | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
He's said to be an experienced hillwalker, who's completed | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
As mountain rescuers, you always have one eye on hope. I think we | :10:24. | :10:39. | |
have to be pragmatic. He has been missing for some days now and, given | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
the terrain and weather conditions we have experienced since we know | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
he's been missing, we hold hope, but we have to be realistic that the | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
chance of anyone surviving in such conditions will be minimal. | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
Caledonian MacBrayne and Serco have submitted final bids | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
for the new ?1 billion contract to run | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
State-owned CalMac, which currently operates the services, | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
and Serco, which operates services to the Northern Isles, | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
are the only two companies competing for the work. | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
The contract starts in September, and will run for eight years. | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
Time now for the latest weather forecast. | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
Good evening. It will be another cold night tonight. Especially for | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
more eastern areas. Tonight, there is another chance we could catch the | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Northern Lights. But the specially for more than northern parts of | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Scotland. Further south, perhaps less likely than it was last night. | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
We do still have clear skies further towards the east. Another weather | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
front pushing in from the West. Fishing in rain and snow for the | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
hills. The risk of icy stretches, temperatures below freezing. The Met | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
office has issued a yellow beer were weather warning for the risk of this | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
ice first thing tomorrow morning. -- a yellow we were weather warning. | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
For Aberdeenshire, we could go down to minus five Celsius. A cold start | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
for tomorrow, the rain, sleet and snow band will go eastwards. It will | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
be a tricky commute by the morning. Showery outbreaks of rain here. | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
Temperatures three to 5 degrees. The wind strongest for Western and | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
northern coasts. Through the day, we will see that rain band going | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
further eastwards. Across the UK, a much cloudier picture than the one | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
day we had today. Temperatures around six to 9 degrees. As we go | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
through the night, further wintry showers pushing in. Some outbreaks | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
of showery rain and all of this is associated with an area of low | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
pressure. It's a developing area of low pressure. Uncertainty over its | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
position and where we will see the worst of the rain. It looks like it | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
will be southern parts of the UK. Full Scotland for Wednesday, a | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
cloudy start, but improving. Lots of sunshine in store for more western | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
areas and temperatures around six to 9 degrees. | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
Our next update is during Breakfast at 6:25am tomorrow morning. | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
But, from everyone on the late team here in Glasgow | :13:26. | :13:29. |
