Here on BBC One it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Four out of 17 schools closed by Edinburgh City Council have been | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
found to have construction faults. At the school where it all started, | :00:19. | :00:30. | |
work is already under way to fix here, many parents have been forced | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
to stay at home today as they frantically | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
work out childcare. I work full-time, my husband | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
is self-employed so if he is not For Julia, the disruption | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
has become unacceptable. I don't want my child on a tablet | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
or an iPad every hour of the day, I need him at school, | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
I need him educated. Elsewhere, this would ordinarily be | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
a busy morning for this family as the kids head back to Firhill | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
high school after the Easter break. It is quite disruptive | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
because we need to finish the coursework and we need to do | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
unit assessments and they were meant to be happening this week but now | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
they will have to be done later. They have got to have time to revise | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
and it is distracting them from it all and I think it is probably | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
worrying them as well. the schools is a fact it's banned | :01:24. | :01:39. | |
the capital. -- the schools affected span the capital. | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
An issue with header ties, meaning the buildings | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
The first thing back after the school holidays and this | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
school should be buzzing but instead as you can see, | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
The Council say they will prioritise the inspections on the five | :01:55. | :02:05. | |
high schools affected while they try to put | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
The Edinburgh Schools Partnership that runs the school has apologised | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
and said it will pay for the repairs, but the company | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
These surveys have revealed similar problems in two other schools, | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
We are serious about the ongoing safety of the children when they get | :02:26. | :02:48. | |
back into school, it will take a little while. It has raised | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
questions over the use of private finance deals to build schools. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
The thing we have got to learn, particular lessons that went wrong | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
in the building of the Edinburgh schools, we have to see | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
if there are problems in other Council areas but we have | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
to have a more fundamental look at the financing | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
Tomorrow will be another holiday as further provisions are made to | :03:10. | :03:19. | |
ensure these buildings are safe. Now we report on the wider | :03:20. | :03:31. | |
implications to schools. There has been interest in this story across | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
Scotland and councils have been carrying out inspections. In | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Glasgow, Fife and Inverclyde, there is particular interest because | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Miller was involved in the construction of some privately | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
financed schools. They say nothing untoward has been found. In Glasgow | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
and Inverclyde, schools will be opening next week as originally | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
planned. Some other councils have been carrying out checks as well but | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
again, nothing untoward has been found. There is a developing | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
political row over the use of public private partnerships. The First | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Minister Nicola Sturgeon says there may be a case for the enquiring into | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
construction into Edinburgh schools when the immediate problems are | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
fixed. When Campbell can tell us more. When you have a big household | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
expense like buying a new TV, you can usually spread the cost, many | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
shops invite you to buy now and pay later. Typically in instalments and | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
with interest. The private financing schools and hospitals works in a | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
similar way. Loan terms of 25 years and longer. The end of the school | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
building programme was signed off under the last Labour - Liberal | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
Democrat administration at Holyrood. The First Minister says her | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
predecessors may need to account for their decisions in an enquiring. | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
These are schools build ten or more years ago under a system of PFI and | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
at the time, many people had real concerns about it. If it turns out | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
that what we are seeing now is the legacy of that, they will be big | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
questions for those in charge at the time. Do the contracts that prick | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
you with the Edinburgh schools measure up? The liberal Democrats | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
campaigning in the capital say it is just one of the questions that need | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
answering. There will be time to look at all the questions. The | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
inspection regime, the maintenance regime as well. The cuts to Budget | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
by the SNP, that will be looked at overtime. With students in Glasgow | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
this afternoon, the Labour leader said her party was right to | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
prioritise investment in infrastructure. The Labour Party had | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
to rebuild hundreds of schools across Scotland because they were | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
left in rack and ruin by the Tories so I will not apologise for | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
rebuilding hundreds of schools across Scotland. There are questions | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
of course about the quality of the building that has taken place and we | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
should examine those. Testing gaming technology in Dundee, the | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Conservative leader says opportunities may have been missed | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
to spot problems with the Edinburgh schools. You need to have | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
inspections at the time they are signed off but also you must keep | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
inspecting those buildings to make sure they stay fit for purpose. We | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
have been asking the Scottish SNP sure they stay fit for purpose. We | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
government to make sure the fabric sure they stay fit for purpose. We | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
of the building is included in school inspections. We think that is | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
the right way forward. school inspections. We think that is | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
financing has been revised, remodelled, rebranded down the years | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
but it has not gone away. The current government has devised its | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
own model. Private financing has always been controversial but the | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
problems with these Edinburgh schools mean the contracts of the | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
past will come under fresh scrutiny. Now to a story, the details of which | :07:11. | :07:26. | |
some viewers may find distressing. A mother and his civil partner have | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
gone on trial for the murder of their son. The ladies are charged | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
with falsely blaming the seven-year-old with the death. Liam | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
died from severe injuries to his head and body. It is alleged they | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
were inflicted by his mother and her partner, accused of repeatedly | :07:49. | :07:56. | |
assaulting him. It is also alleged that when they found his body, they | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
tried to defeat the ends of justice by blaming another child for the | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
death. They are accused of forcing his hand into the mouth of the dead | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
toddler before the emergency services arrived. The first witness | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
in court today was the father of Liam, Joseph Johnson. He said he had | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
been in a relationship with Rachel for several years, when she left him | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
for Naomi and took Liam with her. He recalled the day that she called to | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
say Liam was dead and another boy had killed him. The women are | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
accused of harming two other boys. It is alleged they kept one child in | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
a makeshift cage for prolonged periods, sometimes forcing him to | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
sleep there. It is also alleged they tied another child to a chair in a | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
room where rats and snakes are kept and told him the boa constrictor | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
eight naughty boys. The women deny all charges and the trial continues. | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
Investigations are continuing into the sinking of a fishing boat in the | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
western isles in the early hours of Saturday morning. One of the four | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
crew of the Louisa were rescued by lifeboats. Two men were found dead | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
and a fourth also swam ashore and is missing. The examination is ongoing | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
and further searches for the missing man are under review. Plans by | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
Glasgow University to transform a former hospital into a teaching and | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
research site could bring in an former hospital into a teaching and | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
estimated ?1 billion of investment over the next decade. The conversion | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
of the infirmary will form a new college building. The development | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
will create 2500 jobs. The Livingston -based company touched | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
bionics has been sold to the Icelandic prosthetics firm for ?27.5 | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
million. The business employs 40 people and has led the world in | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
developing electrically powered artificial hands with fingers that | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
can be controlled independently. The Woodland Trust Scotland is launching | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
a public appeal to buy and restore an ancient Caledonian forest. This | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
pine forest is home to some of Scotland's most iconic wildlife | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
including ospreys, sea eagles, wild boar and Wildcats. We are also very | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
keen the community are involved and the wider community benefits in | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
terms of job opportunities, taking products from the forest, so it is | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
not preservation of the forest but making it a working forest. Football | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
now and two former favourites both believe Celtic will come out on top | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
at the Scottish cup tie. Graeme Souness and Kenny Dalglish both | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
managed the side and they say this game is one of a kind. It is the | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
biggest game I have been involved in. Everton, Liverpool, a friendly | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
derby, the Galatasaray one with Fenerbahce is a big game but it | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
still does not come near these. You are born and bred in Glasgow, you | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
understand how much it means and how big it is. You know it is not going | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
to be a normal game. Let's get the weather now. | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
Much of Scotland currently dry with some clear spells. It is generally | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
set to turn cloudy for most of us with some outbreaks of rain. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Tomorrow morning, the rain continues to track into the central belt. If | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
you are heading out around 8am tomorrow, some heavy pulses of rain | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
across the south east. Also for the south-west and towards the Argyll | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
area potentially as well. Across the north, we will see the driest and | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
brightest weather tomorrow morning. Some sunshine potentially across the | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
western isles and towards the northern isles as well. Through the | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
course of the day, in the far north, northern isles as well. Through the | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
we hold on to the best of the driest and brightest conditions and further | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
south, fairly cloudy and further outbreaks of rain. Across the rest | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
of the UK tomorrow afternoon, some rain to come across Northern Ireland | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
and heavy rain to come across northern England as well. Further | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
south, there will be plenty of sunshine on offer and it will become | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
fairly warm as well although that warmth will spark off a number of | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
fairly heavy and potentially thundery downpours. Highs of 16 or | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
17 Celsius for the London area, in sharp contrast to eight Celsius in | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
some parts of Scotland. In the evening in Scotland, we hold onto | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
dry and bright weather across the far north, elsewhere, fairly cloudy | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
and more in the way of rain. Wednesday, low pressure in charge, | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
spinning these weather fronts across the UK so Wednesday is looking like | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
a fairly cloudy day and there will be more rain, especially over | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
eastern areas. The far north holding onto the driest and brightest | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
conditions with brisk east - east to north easterly winds and highs of 10 | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Celsius. Thursday looking much drier and brighter. | :13:24. | :13:26. |
