Police in Devon have handed prosecutors a file of evidence

:00:20.:00:22.

linking the Scottish serial killer Robert Black to the murder

:00:23.:00:25.

Genette Tate disappeared while doing her paper round.

:00:26.:00:30.

Officers say they had been just weeks away from charging Black

:00:31.:00:33.

Robert Black, this image haunted parents throughout the country.

:00:34.:00:43.

Convicted in 1994 of abducting and killing three little girls

:00:44.:00:46.

In 1982 he murdered Susan Maxwell, 11 years old from the Borders,

:00:47.:00:53.

The following year he murdered Caroline Hogg, five years old,

:00:54.:01:00.

abducting her from a funfair near her home in Portobello.

:01:01.:01:06.

In 1986 he targeted ten-year-old Sarah Harper, running an errand

:01:07.:01:08.

Before then, in Ballinderry, County Antrim, he had abducted

:01:09.:01:18.

and killed nine-year-old Jennifer Cardy, although that

:01:19.:01:20.

It was Black's job as a UK-wide delivery driver which had given him

:01:21.:01:31.

the scope to target little girls across the country.

:01:32.:01:33.

In this police interview he chillingly discusses

:01:34.:01:34.

Driving along, I would see a young girl.

:01:35.:01:53.

Try to persuade her to get into the van.

:01:54.:01:57.

Although Robert Black died in prison earlier this year, police

:01:58.:02:02.

and prosecutors will make a public statement saying that

:02:03.:02:04.

while they decided against prosecution in the past,

:02:05.:02:06.

this time they would have charged him with the

:02:07.:02:08.

It will be some small comfort and is definitely worth doing

:02:09.:02:12.

but at the end of the day, Genette Tate is missing,

:02:13.:02:15.

presumed dead, and she will never come back, so it is only

:02:16.:02:18.

It is understood that evidence police have passed to prosecutors

:02:19.:02:21.

includes new witnesses with information on how

:02:22.:02:24.

Robert Black behaved at the time Genette went missing.

:02:25.:02:28.

Her father has told the BBC that it is a shame it

:02:29.:02:34.

knowing he was going to be put on trial for her murder.

:02:35.:02:42.

The owner of a Chinese company that's seeking to invest in Scotland

:02:43.:02:48.

Norway's pension fund was advised to blacklist

:02:49.:02:51.

the China Railway Group, a subsidiary of which signed

:02:52.:02:53.

an understanding with the Scottish Government that could lead

:02:54.:02:55.

to billions of pounds worth of Chinese investment here.

:02:56.:02:57.

Our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell, has the story.

:02:58.:03:12.

The pandas at Edinburgh Zoo are a symbol of the increasingly close

:03:13.:03:15.

But this relationship is also about money.

:03:16.:03:23.

The Chancellor has signed a deal to secure billions of pounds

:03:24.:03:26.

And China has got money to spend in Scotland also.

:03:27.:03:39.

That is why the First Minister signed a memorandum of understanding

:03:40.:03:44.

on the 21st of March with two firms, including China Railway Group

:03:45.:03:49.

Which could lead to ?10 billion of infrastructure

:03:50.:03:56.

It has emerged that the parent company, China Railway Group,

:03:57.:04:00.

has been linked with bribery and corruption

:04:01.:04:04.

In 2014, it recommended that the group

:04:05.:04:11.

be blacklisted and warned of an unacceptable future risk of

:04:12.:04:14.

At a debt helpline in Glasgow, the Lib Dem

:04:15.:04:27.

leader advised SNP ministers to choose investment partners with

:04:28.:04:29.

I am not happy for China to invest in Scottish infrastructure

:04:30.:04:32.

I do not think that is the right thing to do.

:04:33.:04:36.

We should be having the highest possible standards on human rights,

:04:37.:04:41.

on business practices, that is why I think

:04:42.:04:50.

would expect from the Scottish government but they are not

:04:51.:04:56.

Campaigning on local tax reform in Glasgow,

:04:57.:04:59.

Labour questioned why potential Chinese investment was

:05:00.:05:02.

kept under wraps by the First Minister

:05:03.:05:05.

Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP did not want us to know they had

:05:06.:05:13.

signed a deal with China for potential investment in public

:05:14.:05:16.

We need to know the details, we need to know what she

:05:17.:05:20.

Taking the election race to the racing circuit, the

:05:21.:05:23.

Conservative leader remained suspicious.

:05:24.:05:29.

The only reason we know about this China deal is because it ended

:05:30.:05:32.

up on a private website of a private company

:05:33.:05:34.

in China and that is not the

:05:35.:05:37.

way the Scottish Government is supposed to work.

:05:38.:05:39.

Trying her hand at making jewellery in Orkney, the

:05:40.:05:45.

First Minister stressed that Chinese infrastructure talks

:05:46.:05:47.

There is no agreement to invest, there is no actual

:05:48.:05:52.

investments agreed, this is about exploring opportunities

:05:53.:05:54.

and if there are any specific proposals for

:05:55.:05:57.

investment, due diligence will be done.

:05:58.:06:07.

Chinese communist leaders on cracking down

:06:08.:06:08.

questions still surround one of the state-owned enterprises that

:06:09.:06:13.

A woman and an eight-year-old boy have died after a crash involving

:06:14.:06:22.

The incident happened yesterday afternoon on the A92,

:06:23.:06:26.

north of the Redhouse roundabout in Kirkcaldy.

:06:27.:06:27.

The boy was declared dead shortly after the crash, while the woman,

:06:28.:06:30.

who was 36, died today at the town's Victoria Hospital.

:06:31.:06:33.

Another child, aged nine, suffered serious facial injuries.

:06:34.:06:35.

The driver of the lorry and a male passenger

:06:36.:06:37.

We have managed to trace some witnesses, however,

:06:38.:06:47.

we would appeal for any person or persons in the area at that time

:06:48.:06:50.

who might have seen the grey Ford Focus or the blue Iveco lorry

:06:51.:06:53.

to contact us and give us any information they have.

:06:54.:06:56.

From tomorrow, all dogs in Scotland, England and Wales will have

:06:57.:06:59.

These were the scenes in Stornoway earlier today as dog owners queued

:07:00.:07:04.

to get their dogs chipped before the law changes.

:07:05.:07:06.

The Scottish Government says it believes it will be a huge step

:07:07.:07:09.

to reducing the number of abandoned dogs on our streets.

:07:10.:07:11.

If Rufus ever gets lost, it'll be now easier for him

:07:12.:07:19.

It contains a unique code when scanned that

:07:20.:07:25.

brings up the details of his owner from a national database.

:07:26.:07:28.

I just need to double check that the chip is

:07:29.:07:33.

reading OK and as you can see, this is the number

:07:34.:07:35.

Charities like the Dogs Trust have been carrying out

:07:36.:07:42.

We implant a small chip the size of a grain of rice between the

:07:43.:07:46.

We plant it there just so that it is like a little

:07:47.:07:52.

archway, so that basically it has less chance of moving.

:07:53.:07:54.

So far the schemes have been voluntary, but from

:07:55.:07:56.

It will, in theory, reduce the number of stray dogs

:07:57.:08:01.

spending time in local authority kennels.

:08:02.:08:04.

From the 6th of April, owners who do not

:08:05.:08:06.

To have him micro-chipped and to know

:08:07.:08:13.

he will be found if lost is a good feeling.

:08:14.:08:23.

We found a dog in our area and it was micro-chipped so we could

:08:24.:08:26.

get it back to the owner, it is a great idea.

:08:27.:08:29.

The campaign group against the plan says they are

:08:30.:08:36.

concerned about the complications caused by micro-chipping.

:08:37.:08:39.

It says it will force owners to be more

:08:40.:08:41.

responsible so there will be fewer scenes like this.

:08:42.:08:43.

Rangers have secured promotion to the Scottish Premiership

:08:44.:08:46.

after clinching the Championship title this evening.

:08:47.:08:47.

Mark Warburton's side were 1-0 winners over Dumbarton in front

:08:48.:08:50.

Here's our senior football reporter, Chris McLaughlin.

:08:51.:09:02.

In came in thousands for a promotion party that would signal the end to

:09:03.:09:10.

life in the lower leagues. James Tavener scored the only goal of the

:09:11.:09:14.

match but in the end, it was enough. A night at club and its fans have

:09:15.:09:19.

been dreaming of for four years since the dramatic financial

:09:20.:09:22.

downfall that led them to the bottom of Scottish football.

:09:23.:09:25.

Of course, it has been tough. But it has been a journey and it is one

:09:26.:09:29.

that I think the fans have tried to enjoy. They have been to some

:09:30.:09:32.

grounds they would never have envisaged. I think they have enjoyed

:09:33.:09:38.

the journey, but now they are back where they feel they belong.

:09:39.:09:44.

After the party, attention will turn to the top league. How car -- how

:09:45.:09:51.

far can the push rivals Celtic. Before that, while manager Mark

:09:52.:09:55.

Warburton get the cash he needs to strengthen the side? All questions

:09:56.:09:59.

for another day. Tonight, for the blue half of Glasgow, it is party

:10:00.:10:03.

time. This I's so-called journey in the lower leagues is over. Rangers

:10:04.:10:08.

are back. Chris McLaughlin, Reporting Scotland, Glasgow.

:10:09.:10:25.

And in the Premiership, Celtic missed out on a chance to turn

:10:26.:10:27.

They could only manage a 0-0 draw against Dundee,

:10:28.:10:36.

extending their lead at the top of the league to five points.

:10:37.:10:39.

Dundee United's problems at the other end of the table

:10:40.:10:41.

weren't helped by a 1-0 loss to Partick Thistle at Firhill.

:10:42.:10:46.

Finally, a 103-year-old great-grandmother from Dundee has

:10:47.:10:48.

been crowned Curry Lover of the Year.

:10:49.:10:50.

Margaret Phillips lived in India for several years from the 1930s.

:10:51.:10:52.

She was unable to attend the Scottish Curry Awards

:10:53.:10:54.

but will be celebrating by sharing a prawn madras with residents

:10:55.:10:57.

Where did your love of curry come from, Margaret?

:10:58.:11:02.

It came from my grandparents. From your grandparents? Did they

:11:03.:11:07.

like Curry as well? They said that they liked it.

:11:08.:11:11.

Well, it's over to Kawser now with the weather outlook

:11:12.:11:14.

Good evening, clear spells for many of us. Quite dry tonight. But at the

:11:15.:11:27.

sunset from one of our Weather Watchers and five. Tonight we will

:11:28.:11:30.

continue to see some clear spells but thicker cloud approaches from

:11:31.:11:33.

the West and with that somehow breaks of rain. As we grow and that

:11:34.:11:38.

weather front, behind that there is colder air. Some stronger westerly

:11:39.:11:42.

winds in tomorrow. This evening and overnight that band of rain pushes

:11:43.:11:45.

across Northern Ireland into the West of Scotland with heavy bursts

:11:46.:11:49.

for a time and they could be wintry up over the hills. Temperatures

:11:50.:11:55.

dipping to four or 5 degrees. In the shower glint in the North East it

:11:56.:11:58.

could be done to freezing. Tomorrow morning, especially for the commute,

:11:59.:12:03.

it will be quite wet, especially for the South West and Dumfries and

:12:04.:12:05.

Galloway. The showers could come with the risk of hail and thunder

:12:06.:12:09.

and they could be wintry over the hills. The showers continue for the

:12:10.:12:14.

West coast, try for the South East. This overnight front, the cloud and

:12:15.:12:18.

rain is starving across parts of Northern Aberdeenshire and also for

:12:19.:12:23.

Sunderland and Caithness. Drier conditions for Shetland for a time.

:12:24.:12:29.

At the bigger picture, the showers continue across the Northern parts

:12:30.:12:31.

of Scotland and for Northern Ireland. In two Northern England as

:12:32.:12:37.

well. Drier conditions for the Saab would be could see some sunny skies.

:12:38.:12:41.

Temperatures around eight or 10 degrees. The westerly winds feeling

:12:42.:12:47.

cooler than the thermometer will suggest. Tomorrow evening, the apple

:12:48.:12:51.

store and more northerly air. So it is cold as we start on Thursday.

:12:52.:12:56.

First it looks to be cloudy for most with showers. The Army across

:12:57.:13:01.

Northern parts of Scotland. Further towards the South, the best of

nine and 12 degrees. Friday, largely cloudy conditions in store with

:13:10.:13:12.

showery outbreaks of rain for a time which could be wintry over the

:13:13.:13:16.

hills, especially in Shetland, wetter weather to come for the West.

:13:17.:13:22.

That is the forecast. Our next update is during Breakfast
