A childminder has been telling the Liam Fee murder trial | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
that she contacted social services a year before the toddler died | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
because she thought somebody was hurting him. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Heather Farmer told the court she'd become increasingly concerned | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
about Liam after noticing bruises on his body. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Rachel and Nyomi Fee deny murdering the toddler in March 2014. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Lisa Summers reports from the High court in Livingston. | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
Today the court heard from Liam Fee's child minder. Heather Farmer | :00:35. | :00:44. | |
had looked after him since the summer of 2012. She kept diaries | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
about the children in her care. She recorded developmental stages of | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Liam, such as speaking, walking and into acting. But she also noticed | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
when she arrived with bruises on his body. By the beginning of 2013 she | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
had contacted social services saying she got somebody was hurting him. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
Under cross-examination she acknowledged social services had | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
visited the house, the same day she had called them and they had | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
reported back that everything was fine. The childminder described on | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
occasion in February 2014 when Liam had arrived at her house unwell and | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
with a stiff neck. She called Rachel is suggesting she should make an | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
appointment with the doctor. She said she had made one, but she said | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
she did not believe the child would be taken to see the GP, so she drove | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
she did not believe the child would to the surgery with her daughter and | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
waited outside and there was no sign of Liam or Rachel. Rachel called her | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
later on to say it was Liam's teeth and she was off to get some help | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
all. Shortly after that Mrs Farmer said she could not looked after Liam | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
any more because she could not trust Rachel. Rachel and Nyomi Fee deny | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
Rachel and Nyomi Fee deny alarmingly in 2014. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
BBC Scotland can reveal part of this year's Higher English exam | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
paper has been replaced at short notice because of concerns that | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
some of the questions may have been leaked. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
Candidates across Scotland will be sitting the exam on Thursday. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
Our education correspondent Jamie McIvor reports. | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
The exam season gets under way tomorrow. The Higher English exam is | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
on Thursday and 35,000 candidates are due to sit the exam, but it will | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
not be the original exam. One or two question papers have had to be | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
replaced. There was a potential issue with one of the Higher English | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
question papers. The paper was changed and a new one was sent out | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
to schools and exam centres. BBC Scotland understands the issue is a | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
concern that some of the questions may have been leaked. In this day | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
and age with social media, any suggestion of a leak has to be taken | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
seriously. In general there is always tight security around exam | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
papers both here, at the printers and at the schools and exam centres. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Normally the schools and the centres would store the papers carefully and | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
only open them up a short time before the exam. The largest | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
teachers' union says there needs to be an investigation to establish | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
what has happened. It is natural some candidates may be feeling a bit | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
nervous, while the SQA is reassuring candidate they do not need to worry. | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
The new paper is at all the exam centres and they say it is up to | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
standard. For the moment this story is either hugely embarrassing or it | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
is a case of a potential disaster having been diverted. | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
Friday's helicopter crash off the coast of Norway was probably | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
caused by a technical malfunction, according to Norwegian authorities. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
The Superpuma 225 went down while en-route to Bergen | :04:03. | :04:03. | |
Aberdeenshire man Iain Stuart was among the 13 people who died. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
The helicopter's manufacturers insist the model is safe. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
The campaign for the Scottish Parliament election | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
The leaders of the main political parties have been out and about, | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
across the country, trying to persuade voters to back them. | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
The focus today has been on the economy. | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
This from our Political Editor Brian Taylor. | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
First Minister. Doing business Aberdeen. Nicola Sturgeon argues a | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
strong economy is a vital precursor to paying for public services. She | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
said SNP policies such as red exemptions for small business would | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
bolster economic development. I see it every single day. If we do not | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
have a strong economy with good jobs, we will not have the revenue | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
we need to invest in our public services. The economy, jobs and | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
opportunities for young people is at the heart of everything we want to | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
opportunities for young people is at do. In Glasgow Kezia Dugdale took to | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
the track disdaining claims the Tories can catch. She says the way | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
to boost the economy is to invest in education, funded by tax. The best | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
thing we can do to drive up productivity is to invest in the | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
skills and knowledge of our people. The Labour Party is the only party | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
promising to protect education budgets to make sure every child in | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
this country fulfils their potential. Ruth Davidson tries a | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
marine simulator, but she takes to the skies for real in a coast to | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
coast search for votes. She said the Conservatives have the right ideas | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
on economy. We want to freeze business rates while the review is | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
ongoing to give businesses the certainty they need. We want to make | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
sure Scotland is not the highest taxed part of the UK so we can get | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
jobs and investment. Willie Rennie in Paradise, or rather a play centre | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
of that name. Another light-hearted photocall. But he says the Liberal | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
Democrats are deadly serious about increasing tax to fund education. | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
People are our best resource and every thing we can do to invest them | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
and get them skilled and educated, we will be a magnet for companies | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
across the world to come here and exploit those great talents and | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
create business, opportunity, wealth and growth. In Edinburgh and across | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Scotland councils get ready for the election for the big night. Your job | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
is to fill these ballot boxes. Your job is to fill | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
these ballot boxes. The fiancee of a security guard | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
from Argyll, who's been held in India on arms charges for almost | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
three years, has met a Foreign Office minister | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
as she campaigns for his release. Billy Irving was arrested in October | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
2013 along with five other men while on an anti-piracy mission | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
in the Indian ocean. Today, their families and friends | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
gathered in Carlisle for a rally Bring our boys home! Families and | :07:07. | :07:25. | |
friends say it is a miscarriage of justice and today they were | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
determined to make their voices heard. Billy Irving, a former | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
soldier, had been working on a US owned ship as a security guard | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
protecting merchant shipping in the Gulf of Aden against Somali pilots. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
The ship was detained in Indian waters in 2013 and the men arrested | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
on illegal weapons charges. In January the six Britons were | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
sentenced to five years in prison. Today supporters held a gathering to | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
highlight the case. It is a travesty of justice. It is important that | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
Oban shows they are supporting him and we are doing whatever we can to | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
help this dreadful situation. We need to act and that is demonstrated | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
by the support today and the support shown in Carlisle and other places. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
Let's get them home. A bigger rally was held in Carlisle weather | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
families were meeting a minister from the Foreign Office. It is very | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
frustrating, the law in India takes a long time. But at the end of the | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
day the politicians cannot interfere in that judicial process in India, | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
any more we can in the UK. I am in that judicial process in India, | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
frustrated. When it first happened we gave people time and got on with | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
things and did things quietly like they asked, but enough is enough. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
They cannot stay five years in prison, they have to come home. The | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
hope is an appeal will be heard in the Indian court next month, but | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
there are no guarantees. For the moment the families want to make as | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
Tennis, and Andy Murray is through to the third | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
He beat the Czech Radek Stepanek in straight sets. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
He's defending his title in the clay court tournament. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
As things stand tonight, Mixu Paatelainen remains | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
His chairman Steven Thompson has issued a statement promising | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
radical changes at the club as well as cost-cutting. | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
He's also apologised for the side's relegation, which was confirmed | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
It was painful last night. The realisation for United fans that | :09:29. | :09:42. | |
after 20 years in the top flight their team were going down. | :09:43. | :09:53. | |
Relegation and a 2-1 defeat at the hands of their derby rivals as the | :09:54. | :09:54. | |
final and humiliating nail in the coffin. Relegated at the hands of | :09:55. | :10:03. | |
their rivals. The big question was Mixu Paatelainen, would he walk away | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
from United, or would he be pushed? We have got the knowledge regarding | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
the players and some other issues that have to be sorted out. Only a | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
fool would put that to waste. The club made a statement around four | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
o'clock in which the chairman, Steven Thompson, made Mixu | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Paatelainen's future no clearer. He said, I have back managers with the | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
third biggest budget in the league, but the results have not been | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
acceptable. In the near future radical changes will be made. There | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
will be fundamental changes, starting with the boardroom. There | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
is not a clear strategy going forward and on the part the results | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
have been terrible and the performances have been poor, so | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
there needs to be a change in the head coach's position as well. Under | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
scrutiny is the coach's record since taking over. They have 14 and lost | :11:01. | :11:12. | |
16. Steven Thompson warned of tough times ahead. But what are his | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
intentions for the club in the Championship next season? | :11:18. | :11:18. | |
It's over to Christopher now with the weather outlook | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
It is fairly quiet overnight. It is dry overnight and it is a dry start | :11:22. | :11:34. | |
to the day tomorrow. We have this weather front producing outbreaks of | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
rain and a fair old breeze from the south. For many it is a bright start | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
to the day. The wind in the south means if you are in the central | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
belt, you will not feel it as much as if you work on the post. Inland, | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
perhaps one or two spots of drizzle over south facing hills, but for | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
many it is a dry day. Those wins remain strong to gale force and many | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
areas will be dry and cloudy, but there will be some brightness, | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
particularly around the married first. South of the border there is | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
plenty of sunshine for England and Wales and the temperatures are in | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
the high teens. Temperatures for many in Scotland are around 12 or 13 | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
and there is a cool feel in the breeze and under the rain. That wet | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
weather starts to make inroads on Wednesday evening, crossing the | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
country from west to East. It clears away, but a second one is waiting in | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
the wings as we head through to Thursday. For many Thursday is dry | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
and bright with spells of sunshine. In the north-west there will be | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
patchy outbreaks of rain. But if you get sunshine, the temperatures for | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
patchy outbreaks of rain. But if you many art in the mid teens and it is | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
feeling quite pleasant. On Friday plenty of sunshine once again and | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
the trend for the temperatures plenty of sunshine once again and | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
rising continues. We could see a high of 17 degrees in the | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
south-west. In the weekend we continued to drag in that south | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
easterly, so it is quite warm in southern parts of the UK. We will | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
see a high of 17, but around the coasts it will be colder. | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
Our next update is during Breakfast at 6.25 tomorrow morning. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
But, from everyone on the late team here in Glasgow and around | :13:29. | :13:31. |
