:00:00. > :00:12.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:13. > :00:15.More than 2,000 Edinburgh pupils are still in limbo

:00:16. > :00:18.following the closure of 17 schools over building safety fears.

:00:19. > :00:21.We'll be trying to get to the bottom of the deal that led to the schools

:00:22. > :00:25.Also on the programme, The trial of the couple accused

:00:26. > :00:28.of murdering two-year-old Liam Fee hears that they tried to blame

:00:29. > :00:32.The Greens launch their manifesto with a pledge to make the next

:00:33. > :00:37.Former Rangers manager Walter Smith says a sense of injustice

:00:38. > :00:50.will motivate the team to succeed in the Premiership.

:00:51. > :00:53.And here, Olympic places are up for grabs for Scotland's top swimming

:00:54. > :01:37.stars. Edinburgh city council says that

:01:38. > :01:41.more than a thousand pupils who've been affected by the closure

:01:42. > :01:43.of their schools over safety fears will be able to return

:01:44. > :01:45.to classes tomorrow. They're all older children

:01:46. > :01:48.who are preparing to sit exams. But there's still uncertainty

:01:49. > :01:49.about when thousands of other younger pupils

:01:50. > :01:51.can get back to school. We'll have more details

:01:52. > :01:54.on that in a moment. But first our reporter Steven Godden

:01:55. > :01:57.has been trying to get to the bottom of the deal that led to the schools

:01:58. > :02:03.being built using private finance. VOICEOVER: In the pouring rain,

:02:04. > :02:05.goes on to fix the problems which has left more than 7000 pupils

:02:06. > :02:07.kicking their heels, effects have been discovered, four, that total

:02:08. > :02:10.still stands. What we have asked them to do is to extend it, to make

:02:11. > :02:13.sure that for all of the schools, falls are identified before we can

:02:14. > :02:15.make sure we can put children back into the school safely and in the

:02:16. > :02:18.right manner. At this Edinburgh builders merchant, the basic problem

:02:19. > :02:22.is explained using a 40 El beatbox. All of them do the same job, the

:02:23. > :02:27.only difference is the size and strength of them, in principle, all

:02:28. > :02:30.of them will do the same job, and if they not there, there is a chance

:02:31. > :02:37.that the building could fall down. A fuller picture is now emerging of

:02:38. > :02:43.the deal struck by this school council with school council. -- City

:02:44. > :02:45.Council. Difficulties. Project to split into, estimates for the stage

:02:46. > :02:50.Council. Difficulties. Project to were deemed unacceptable, council

:02:51. > :02:53.officials set a ceiling price, affordable but with the warning that

:02:54. > :02:58.the final cost, if it grows, then they would walk away without any

:02:59. > :03:02.charges for development work. The bricks and mortar tell us that stage

:03:03. > :03:11.two of the project did go ahead, the schools involved, Braeburn, for Hill

:03:12. > :03:15.and Oxgangs Primary and a few miles up the road, Saint Peters primary,

:03:16. > :03:19.all built by Miller construction, and all now at the at the centre of

:03:20. > :03:22.the crisis in Edinburgh schools. -- Miller Construction. Questions

:03:23. > :03:28.surround all 17 Edinburgh PPP schools, contracts questioned by

:03:29. > :03:32.this city architect. There is no architect or engineer inspecting the

:03:33. > :03:37.side that might pick up these things, it is left to the builder.

:03:38. > :03:43.Self-regulation, as with banking, to look after things themselves. That

:03:44. > :03:46.will take away an essential means of checking to make sure things have

:03:47. > :03:50.done and it means things are more likely to have happened. Is it the

:03:51. > :03:55.case that at this stage, you do not know whether the council signed off

:03:56. > :03:58.on these buildings? We do not, that is because each building will be

:03:59. > :03:59.different in its make up and how it was managed and when it was managed,

:04:00. > :04:03.and until we have that picture, was managed and when it was managed,

:04:04. > :04:06.there is no point in speculating. was managed and when it was managed,

:04:07. > :04:10.Based at this office, the Edinburgh schools partnership has issued

:04:11. > :04:16.statements, apologising and assuming responsibility. It is the BBC, I was

:04:17. > :04:20.hoping to speak with someone from the Edinburgh schools partnership,

:04:21. > :04:24.please? Asking anything else, we are told, would require an appointment.

:04:25. > :04:26.The company is due a payment from the council at the end of the month,

:04:27. > :04:34.negotiations continue. STUDIO: Perhaps more pressing

:04:35. > :04:48.for parents is how quickly Fair to say, a lot of uncertainty.

:04:49. > :04:52.Indeed, five secondary schools are affected in Edinburgh, the big

:04:53. > :04:56.unanswered question tonight concerns the first, second and third year

:04:57. > :04:59.students at those secondary schools, the council has told us the night

:05:00. > :05:03.that it is confident places will be found for them by next Tuesday, at

:05:04. > :05:06.the latest, though nothing has been announced officially. The council

:05:07. > :05:07.has been prioritising older students, about

:05:08. > :05:11.to sit exams, and primary school children.

:05:12. > :05:17.When it comes to primaries. Not all children should be back in education

:05:18. > :05:23.by next Tuesday, some of them will not be in normal school buildings.

:05:24. > :05:28.At least there is clarity for the parents of children over how much

:05:29. > :05:31.childcare should be range, though for some this will be an

:05:32. > :05:36.inconvenient or expensive process. Most older students will be back

:05:37. > :05:41.tomorrow, what are the details? Older students at four of the five

:05:42. > :05:44.secondary schools, the fourth, fifth and sixth years, about to sit exams,

:05:45. > :05:50.will be back in education from tomorrow. The children who go to

:05:51. > :05:53.this school, they will be going to a different school in the city, and

:05:54. > :05:57.the students at Craig Noone school, they will be going back on Thursday,

:05:58. > :06:01.but again, they will go to a different school building. You will

:06:02. > :06:04.find the details online, if you need to check them out. -- Craigmount

:06:05. > :06:08.School. The council is stressing to check them out. -- Craigmount

:06:09. > :06:11.that children going to different school buildings will be taught by

:06:12. > :06:16.regular teachers, to ensure continuity. Concerning Miller

:06:17. > :06:20.Construction, at the centre of this story of course, a development, they

:06:21. > :06:25.did work at a primaries goal in Glasgow, which had to be temporarily

:06:26. > :06:29.closed four years ago because of similar structural concerns. At the

:06:30. > :06:31.time, they admitted to poor workmanship, and they said that

:06:32. > :06:35.header ties were missing. A memorial service has been held

:06:36. > :06:38.at Westminster Abbey to remember the victims of last year's terror

:06:39. > :06:40.attacks in Tunisia. Thirty British people died

:06:41. > :06:42.when a gunman opened fire from Cumbernauld

:06:43. > :06:56.in North Lanarkshire. Prince Harry laid a wreath

:06:57. > :07:11.at the Innocent Victims Memorial A trial has heard that a woman

:07:12. > :07:13.accused of killing a two-year-old boy in Fife with her civil partner,

:07:14. > :07:16.claimed in a 999 call the child was strangled by another young boy.

:07:17. > :07:17.Nyomi and Rachel Fee deny murdering Liam Fee at a house near Glenrothes

:07:18. > :07:22.in March 2014. From the High Court in Livingston,

:07:23. > :07:29.Lisa Summers reports. VOICEOVER: The court was played a six minutes 999

:07:30. > :07:36.call, on the evening of March two, 2014, as Nyomi Fee sounds distressed

:07:37. > :07:40.that her boy is not breathing, and that another boy is responsible. The

:07:41. > :07:43.operator explains CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, as the

:07:44. > :07:46.emergency call was played, both Rachel and Nyomi Fee wept. The

:07:47. > :07:52.ambulance crew arrived around 8pm, that

:07:53. > :07:56.evening. Crew members, James Graham and Alexander Higgins, where the

:07:57. > :07:57.evening. Crew members, James Graham first to arrive. James Graham said

:07:58. > :08:04.that when he arrived, the boy was lifeless, but he continued with CPR.

:08:05. > :08:05.He described how the stepmother of Liam Hatcher did add another boy

:08:06. > :08:15.saying, tell these men what you have done. -- stepmother of Liam had

:08:16. > :08:17.shouted at another boy. The mother said that she was shocked when she

:08:18. > :08:22.was told that the boy was dead. Rachel Faye's mother also gave

:08:23. > :08:24.evidence, she said you was close to her daughter until she had left

:08:25. > :08:29.Liam's father to be with Nyomi Fee. She told of

:08:30. > :08:34.how Rachel had left. Rachel and Nyomi Fee are accused of murder, and

:08:35. > :08:35.blaming the death on another child, they are also

:08:36. > :08:38.accused of harming two other children, including

:08:39. > :08:44.locking one boy in a makeshift cage, and tying a third to a chair in a

:08:45. > :08:48.room with rats and snakes. The women deny the charges. The trial

:08:49. > :08:52.continues at the High Court in Livingston.

:08:53. > :08:55.Still to come on tonight's programme.

:08:56. > :08:58.There's been a big focus on the future of the NHS

:08:59. > :08:59.as the Holyrood election campaign continues.

:09:00. > :09:02.And in sport we hear from two former Old Firm legends,

:09:03. > :09:05.plus the Dundee United manager, as he loses a key man in unusual

:09:06. > :09:11.circumstances ahead of this weekend's Scottish Cup semifinals.

:09:12. > :09:14.And Ross Murdoch returns to the pool where he won Commonwealth Gold,

:09:15. > :09:17.as he and his Scottish team mates hope to secure their places

:09:18. > :09:25.We'll be at Tollcross, so stay tuned.

:09:26. > :09:27.The Scottish Green Party has launched its Holyrood manifesto,

:09:28. > :09:30.with a pledge to make the next Scottish Parliament bolder.

:09:31. > :09:31.Proposals include creating 200,000 new jobs, 4,000 extra teachers

:09:32. > :09:45.Our political editor Brian Taylor has been looking at the manifesto.

:09:46. > :09:51.greens unloading their manifesto, hoping it will infuse the public as

:09:52. > :09:56.well. They are now a much bigger party, 9000 members, MS campaign for

:09:57. > :10:01.the first time being run. The policy package is also broad, from extra

:10:02. > :10:06.cash for carers, to the decriminalisation of cannabis for

:10:07. > :10:10.personal use. Plus, familiar green concerns like cycling and public

:10:11. > :10:14.transport. -- for the first time a mass campaign being run. Advocaat

:10:15. > :10:19.besets out the approach, higher public spending, with higher income

:10:20. > :10:22.tax for high earners. Including a 60% top rate. -- Patrick Harvie. Low

:10:23. > :10:29.earners would pay less but overall, they would raise an extra ?679

:10:30. > :10:36.million in tax, in the first year, with more to come. -- Patrick Harvie

:10:37. > :10:40.sets out the approach. They would ban fracking, switch to renewable

:10:41. > :10:44.energy, and leave reserves in the ground, there would be 200,000 new

:10:45. > :10:50.sustainable jobs. They want wider land reform, including more

:10:51. > :10:54.community control, and an end to ownership by offshore tax savings,

:10:55. > :10:58.and they would welcome refugees with open arms. With a sizeable group at

:10:59. > :11:03.Holyrood, they say that they can press these policies, especially

:11:04. > :11:08.tax, up on the next Scottish Government, and they expect that to

:11:09. > :11:11.be led by the SNP. Who is putting them under pressure, asking tough

:11:12. > :11:15.questions? Do we want them dragged to the right by the Conservative

:11:16. > :11:20.Party? Cried by the Labour Party which just waves a finger and says

:11:21. > :11:22.that everything they do is terrible? Do you want constructive pressure

:11:23. > :11:27.brought to bear by the greens? That is what has got results. Among the

:11:28. > :11:33.manifesto policies, a promise to build 12,000 new homes for rent each

:11:34. > :11:37.year, with rent-controlled, to hire 4000 more teachers, and to introduce

:11:38. > :11:46.a levy on big retailers to promote unhealthy foods. The Green Party for

:11:47. > :11:50.Scotland? Indeed. To this great, greens are only contesting three

:11:51. > :11:55.constituencies, and have high hopes on the top of lists. Larger bodies

:11:56. > :12:00.including the SNP want people to stay with them to stay with both

:12:01. > :12:05.about. This time the greens say that they are ready for the fight. --

:12:06. > :12:07.larger parties including the SNB want people to stay with them for

:12:08. > :12:15.both votes. -- SNP. Elsewhere in the Holyrood election

:12:16. > :12:17.campaign, there's been a big focus on the future of the NHS,

:12:18. > :12:20.as the political parties prepare Here's our political correspondent,

:12:21. > :12:25.Glenn Campbell. VOICEOVER: The NHS is arguably the

:12:26. > :12:29.most highly prized public service on the Hollywood control. Certainly in

:12:30. > :12:37.BBC Scotland's election poll, of a thousand adults in March, --

:12:38. > :12:41.increasing the NHS budget to keep pace with spending in England was

:12:42. > :12:45.given the highest priority of all of the pledges tested, it is no

:12:46. > :12:48.surprise there is something of a spending pact between our

:12:49. > :12:52.politicians. -- Holyrood. The four largest parties all promise to spend

:12:53. > :12:56.more money on the health service in the next Parliament, increasing the

:12:57. > :13:04.budget, I at least the same proportion as in England. They all

:13:05. > :13:08.want a bigger share to be spent on primary care, GPs like those working

:13:09. > :13:12.here in Midlothian. What are the key differences? In Paisley, Labour say

:13:13. > :13:20.that they protect local hospital services and introduce an opt out

:13:21. > :13:24.system for organ donations to increase the number of transplants.

:13:25. > :13:28.It is really disappointing that we had a chance to change the rules on

:13:29. > :13:31.transplant legislation in the last Parliament and the SNP voted it

:13:32. > :13:35.down, the faster we change the law, more lives we can change, that must

:13:36. > :13:35.be a priority for the next Parliament.

:13:36. > :13:41.older people here, the SNP's aim is to build new regional

:13:42. > :13:44.treatment centres, to help to meet the demands

:13:45. > :13:51.of an ageing population. Said that the NHS can cater for the growing

:13:52. > :13:58.and cataract aspirations that come. and cataract aspirations that come.

:14:05. > :14:07.-- hip. The Lidl Democrats are looking for a big reduction

:14:08. > :14:12.in NHS target. Put the power back in the hands of the doctors and nurses

:14:13. > :14:19.so that they can drive the direction of the NHS. -- Liberal Democrats.

:14:20. > :14:20.More people needed to be treated better and more quickly and in a

:14:21. > :14:24.better way. The Conservatives say better and more quickly and in a

:14:25. > :14:25.that it is time to ease the pressure on family doctors by giving

:14:26. > :14:29.a greater role to other health professional.

:14:30. > :14:32.Setting up community pharmacies, we know that one in ten GPs appointment

:14:33. > :14:39.could be seen at a pharmacist level. Minor ailments, units which are

:14:40. > :14:41.involved there. The Battle of the NHS ideas

:14:42. > :14:54.An inquiry has been launched into the death of a man

:14:55. > :14:56.in Aberdeenshire, which police are treating as suspicious.

:14:57. > :14:59.Emergency services were called to a report of a man having

:15:00. > :15:01.collapsed, following a disturbance at a commercial premises

:15:02. > :15:09.Fresh searches have been taking place for the missing skipper

:15:10. > :15:12.of the fishing boat Louisa, which sank off Mingulay

:15:13. > :15:18.They've been named locally as Chris Morrison, from Harris,

:15:19. > :15:24.A fourth man - Lachlan Armstrong - was rescued after swimming to shore.

:15:25. > :15:28.Friends of murdered Irish student nurse Karen Buckley gathered

:15:29. > :15:32.at Glasgow Caledonian University for a private memorial

:15:33. > :15:34.service on the first anniversary of her death.

:15:35. > :15:37.Ms Buckley, from Cork, was killed by Alexander Pacteau

:15:38. > :15:42.The event was organised by the School of Health

:15:43. > :15:44.and Life Sciences, where the 24-year-old was studying

:15:45. > :15:52.Pacteau was jailed for a minimum of 23 years.

:15:53. > :15:56.We'll get tonight's sports news now from Eilidh.

:15:57. > :15:58.The former Rangers manager Walter Smith believes a sense

:15:59. > :16:01.of bitterness will be a motivation to succeed in the Premiership.

:16:02. > :16:04.Smith says a sense of injustice at being forced into the bottom tier

:16:05. > :16:06.of Scottish football will persist at Ibrox.

:16:07. > :16:08.He also reckons Rangers can approach the Scottish Cup semifinal

:16:09. > :16:11.against Celtic with optimism - but a former Celtic favourite isn't

:16:12. > :16:29.This remains an iconic Old Firm moment. Chris woods, Terry Butcher

:16:30. > :16:35.encapsulating the madness this match can inspire. No such an hoesty as

:16:36. > :16:39.mechanic haven'ty and the assistant manager got close as the former

:16:40. > :16:44.clubs prepare to meet again, are they worthy of their billing as

:16:45. > :16:48.favourites? I don't think they are been playing well at all recently.

:16:49. > :16:52.They have been getting result, I think they will be too strong for

:16:53. > :16:57.Rangers, two years ago they met and that they were streets apart. They

:16:58. > :17:02.are not now, but I still believe Celtic are the stronger team.

:17:03. > :17:05.Rangers are much further down the road to recovery but will the

:17:06. > :17:10.journey from lower league football to the brink of the top flight have

:17:11. > :17:16.soothed the ill will they came with their demise There is no necessity

:17:17. > :17:27.for Rangers to be put down into the Third Division. And I think that is

:17:28. > :17:33.the thing that, I think there will be a bitterness in the Rangers's

:17:34. > :17:39.ranks. Motivation alone will not be enough to change the power balance

:17:40. > :17:42.in Glasgow, Sunday will show whether it has shifted at all.

:17:43. > :17:45.The Dundee United manager says he can't say why defender

:17:46. > :17:49.Mixu Paatelainen insists, though, it's nothing to do with an incident

:17:50. > :17:52.on Saturday when the player picked up the ball and walked off.

:17:53. > :17:54.United have a Scottish Cup semifinal against Hibs on Saturday,

:17:55. > :17:57.and a battle to avoid relegation, which includes a tie

:17:58. > :18:11.What happens when a player picks up the ball during a game for no

:18:12. > :18:15.apparent reason, and then walks off. A booking, red card? Well, Gavin

:18:16. > :18:21.Gunning insisted he was injured against Inverness at the weekend, a

:18:22. > :18:26.few days later, player and club part company. That had nothing to do with

:18:27. > :18:30.it. I won't go into details. There hasn't been any fall outs, here any

:18:31. > :18:36.way, but unfortunately he won't play for us this season. Gunning's

:18:37. > :18:40.mysterious exit came hours after it emerged this could be the scene of

:18:41. > :18:43.the relegation. Dundee will host their rivals on 2nd May It is

:18:44. > :18:47.probably a strong possibility the way we have been playing lately. It

:18:48. > :18:52.would be a night mare. My grandsons would love it but I would hate it.

:18:53. > :18:57.My grandsons are blue noses. The weekend disappointment comes ahead

:18:58. > :19:00.of the Scottish Cup semifinal against Hibs on Saturday, that and

:19:01. > :19:04.of the Scottish Cup semifinal the departure not ideal preparation.

:19:05. > :19:09.It is not a nice thing to say but the show goes on, it is, you know,

:19:10. > :19:13.it's regardless of whether somebody gets injured, somebody leave,

:19:14. > :19:17.somebody gets a red card the week before, whatever happens you just

:19:18. > :19:22.have to get on with it. It's a few days that have summed up United's

:19:23. > :19:25.season, wounded and protesting but ultimately heading down.

:19:26. > :19:27.You can get all the post-split fixtures on the BBC

:19:28. > :19:30.Tonight, Hearts complete the pre-split fixtures

:19:31. > :19:33.Full coverage of that, and third versus second

:19:34. > :19:39.in the Championship as Hibs host Falkrik, on BBC Radio Scotland.

:19:40. > :19:42.You might remember this image from the Commonwealth Games.

:19:43. > :19:43.Ross Murdoch taking gold in the 200m breaststroke.

:19:44. > :19:46.Well, he and some of the other stars from Glasgow 2014 are back

:19:47. > :19:50.This time, Olympic places are up for grabs.

:19:51. > :19:52.Our reporter Kheredine Idessane has been poolside and can

:19:53. > :20:02.bring us up to date with what's in store tonight.

:20:03. > :20:09.Two years ago the Commonwealth Games new sports stars were born in this

:20:10. > :20:13.very pool, one of them Ross Murdoch, swims again tonight, and Olympic

:20:14. > :20:18.places are up for grabs so the stakes could scarcely be high here
