:00:00. > :00:10.The prosecutor in the Liam Fee murder trial has told the jury

:00:11. > :00:13.the two accused acted with "unyielding, heartless cruelty"

:00:14. > :00:17.In his closing speech, Alex Prentice QC asked

:00:18. > :00:21.the jury to convict Rachel and Nyomi Fee of murder.

:00:22. > :00:53.The prosecutor described Liam Fee as defenceless and vulnerable.

:00:54. > :00:54.Alex Prentice QC said that Rachel and Naomi Fee

:00:55. > :00:57.signed up to a course of cruel treatment towards the toddler and

:00:58. > :01:01.their treatment of Liam shortly before he died had escalated to such

:01:02. > :01:04.an extent that it was obvious life might be taken.

:01:05. > :01:06.He said there was evidence the couple had failed to get

:01:07. > :01:09.treatment for Liam when they knew they had sustained serious injuries,

:01:10. > :01:11.including a fractured arm and broken leg,

:01:12. > :01:13.that would have left him in excruciating pain.

:01:14. > :01:15.He said instead of getting help, there was evidence

:01:16. > :01:18.that their phones have been used to Google what happens if a broken

:01:19. > :01:21.leg is left untreated, or, can you die of a broken leg?

:01:22. > :01:23.He said if you suspect your two-and-a-half-year-old child

:01:24. > :01:25.has a broken leg, you would get help,

:01:26. > :01:27.there is nothing else that decent human being or a

:01:28. > :01:38.Liam had died from a blow to the abdomen and chest.

:01:39. > :01:39.They said the evidence did not point to

:01:40. > :01:41.death by strangling and suffocation by another child.

:01:42. > :01:43.Rachel and Nyomi are falsely accused of

:01:44. > :01:50.He said they were hiding things and talking about jail.

:01:51. > :01:53.He said it didn't matter who had dealt the fatal blow to

:01:54. > :01:55.Liam, saying the jury can get both women in keeping with the

:01:56. > :02:07.-- saying the jury can convert both women.

:02:08. > :02:09.He said it was murder because of a violent act

:02:10. > :02:12.committed with a wicked indifference to whether Liam lived or died.

:02:13. > :02:13.The court will hear closing speeches tomorrow.

:02:14. > :02:20.A 26-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with

:02:21. > :02:25.14-month-old Inayah Ahmed was reported to have become unwell

:02:43. > :02:46.a car and a heavy agricultural vehicle on the outskirts of Glasgow.

:02:47. > :02:49.Five other cars and a bus were involved in the accident,

:02:50. > :02:53.which happened at about 11am in Rutherglen.

:02:54. > :03:07.The recovery operation is now well underway in Fernhill Road. The

:03:08. > :03:13.details of how others crash happened are still emerging. We know that a

:03:14. > :03:18.trailer and a car crashed here just after 11am today. One eyewitness

:03:19. > :03:22.said they saw the trailer coming down Fernhill Road, swerving. The

:03:23. > :03:26.impact between the trailer and the car resulted in the car being

:03:27. > :03:32.crushed underneath the trailer. The drive of that car, a male, has been

:03:33. > :03:37.pronounced dead. -- the driver of that car. The driver of the trailer

:03:38. > :03:41.has been taken to hospital, his condition is serious. Police say the

:03:42. > :03:48.road will be closed until they complete the recovery operation.

:03:49. > :03:51.They have asked eyewitnesses who may have seen anything to come forward.

:03:52. > :03:52.Five other cars and a bus were also involved but there were no other

:03:53. > :03:54.serious injuries. The EIS teaching union is calling

:03:55. > :03:59.on the Scottish Government to renegotiate public-private

:04:00. > :04:01.contracts used in building schools. It argues a national review

:04:02. > :04:03.is needed, in the wake Pupils back at St Peter's, happy

:04:04. > :04:11.and relieved to be back in their own classrooms again instead of being

:04:12. > :04:15.bussed all the way to other schools. It was fun at the start but it got

:04:16. > :04:19.a bit boring so we're all glad Although I don't get to miss

:04:20. > :04:23.as much school, we're not getting on a coach for

:04:24. > :04:30.45 minutes each day. But trust has been eroded for some,

:04:31. > :04:33.they have been given reassurances about safety

:04:34. > :04:39.which have been programme. We don't know what has gone

:04:40. > :04:47.on with other schools. If it has been done

:04:48. > :04:50.on the quick, in a cheap manner, that's not

:04:51. > :04:51.good for the future. The people building these schools

:04:52. > :04:54.are not taking into account Another of the three schools

:04:55. > :04:58.which reopened this morning. In January, a wall fell down,

:04:59. > :05:03.leading to the mass evacuation of 17 schools with structural faults, all

:05:25. > :05:26.Our members are not just after a little enquiry but

:05:27. > :05:30.of these projects, and the ongoing costs of them.

:05:31. > :05:31.Pupils from 14 affected schools are still

:05:32. > :05:35.Some will get back to their normal schools next month

:05:36. > :05:38.but most will have to cope with disruption until after summer.

:05:39. > :05:40.While hundreds of affected pupils are now back behind their desks,

:05:41. > :05:42.several thousands more are still coping with alternative schooling

:05:43. > :05:46.Some parents are still worried and many questions remain.

:05:47. > :05:47.An independent enquiry into what went wrong

:05:48. > :05:51.The Scottish Government say it is considering renegotiating

:05:52. > :06:00.Police Scotland say they're constantly reviewing

:06:01. > :06:04.their response to the risk of a major terrorist attack.

:06:05. > :06:08.In the second of our special reports, Cameron Buttle has been

:06:09. > :06:12.given access to Scotland's counter-terrorist unit.

:06:13. > :06:14.This is where the specialist firearms officers for Police

:06:15. > :06:19.Today they are staging a major exercise to do with

:06:20. > :06:25.There will be some form of explosives detonated to signal

:06:26. > :06:30.the specialist unit will have to go in and deal

:06:31. > :06:32.with that marauding attack, which is similar

:06:33. > :06:44.to what we have seen in Paris and Brussels.

:06:45. > :06:47.We can't show you exactly how this counterterror unit operates.

:06:48. > :07:03.The unit has contained the threat, cornered the terrorists.

:07:04. > :07:16.Now it moves into the final confrontation.

:07:17. > :07:20.This exercise used different levels of firearms officer.

:07:21. > :07:22.Those who would be first to respond and then the

:07:23. > :07:24.counterterror specialist firearms officers.

:07:25. > :07:36.They can't be identified for security reasons.

:07:37. > :07:43.This scenario was that terrorists had taken over the building and well

:07:44. > :07:46.armed. We moved in as firearms police and neutralise the threat,

:07:47. > :07:49.taking the building. Standard procedure.

:07:50. > :07:51.The training reflects recent terror attacks in Europe.

:07:52. > :07:53.Multiple venues, multiple terrorists.

:07:54. > :07:56.At the extreme end, we have had to adjust our

:07:57. > :08:01.It is sensitive, so I'm not going to tell you exactly what we would do.

:08:02. > :08:04.But we have adjusted our tactics along with the rest of the UK forces

:08:05. > :08:14.In terms of capacity, you saw the ferocity

:08:15. > :08:18.There would be few forces in the UK that

:08:19. > :08:27.However, Police Scotland, because of our capability and capacity,

:08:28. > :08:29.and where we place our resources, we would respond to it.

:08:30. > :08:32.The primary response would be armed response vehicles and that's why

:08:33. > :08:43.we put great emphasis on how we train an armed response officer.

:08:44. > :08:45.In the past year Police Scotland has increased the level of

:08:46. > :08:49.The national response to a major incident is under

:08:50. > :08:52.constant review to combat the ever-changing terror threat.

:08:53. > :08:55.Now, back in 1966, the Church of Scotland took a ground-breaking

:08:56. > :08:58.decision to allow women to be ordained as elders.

:08:59. > :09:01.Two years later, they were welcomed in as ministers.

:09:02. > :09:04.Elizabeth Quigley has been looking at how the Church of Scotland has

:09:05. > :09:10.welcomed women into leadership roles.

:09:11. > :09:14.Isabel Montgomerie might seem an unlikely revolutionary.

:09:15. > :09:17.Working on a farm in Ayrshire, she was one of the

:09:18. > :09:21.first women to be ordained as an elder.

:09:22. > :09:25.Some people thought I'm a bit of a revolutionary, can I say that?

:09:26. > :09:31.And I always had, no revolutionary, more a pioneer.

:09:32. > :09:42.And in 2004, for the very first time, the Kirk's top job

:09:43. > :09:54.Mother and daughter Pauline and Miriam are both

:09:55. > :09:59.And they have watched a changing church.

:10:00. > :10:01.I think the Church of Scotland was ahead of

:10:02. > :10:06.When I was thinking about it I realised

:10:07. > :10:08.that the famous book by Germaine Greer,

:10:09. > :10:10.The Female Eunuch, which kicked off the normalisation of feminism,

:10:11. > :10:25.and the fact that the Church of Scotland took this

:10:26. > :10:28.decision four years before is very much to its credit.

:10:29. > :10:32.The church has always had women elders as long

:10:33. > :10:41.And ordaining female elders unlocked the door to women ministers.

:10:42. > :10:46.It's unimaginable now to have a church without women elders and

:10:47. > :10:50.women ministers, I think it unimaginable, I can't imagine being

:10:51. > :10:57.part of the Church of Scotland, it would be a very alien place.

:10:58. > :11:01.Today, tending a rather different kind of flock,

:11:02. > :11:05.women ministers and elders are very much part of the Kirk's life

:11:06. > :11:19.Time for the latest weather forecast, with Kirsteen.

:11:20. > :11:28.good evening. It has been a dry day across the majority of Scotland. We

:11:29. > :11:33.have seen sunshine in the West and north-west. Here is where we hold

:11:34. > :11:37.onto the clearest skies tonight. Elsewhere, a cloudy prospect and

:11:38. > :11:43.that is how we start tomorrow morning. Around eight o'clock,

:11:44. > :11:47.fairly cloudy skies across much of southern, central and eastern

:11:48. > :11:51.Scotland. Some brightness breaking through at times. The best of the

:11:52. > :11:58.sunshine across the Argyll area, and the southern end of the Outer

:11:59. > :12:04.Hebrides. Across the North, the North East and the Northern Isles, a

:12:05. > :12:07.cloudy prospects and brisk north-easterly winds making it a

:12:08. > :12:15.chilly feel. Across the rest of the UK, it largely cloudy prospects. And

:12:16. > :12:20.a batch of rain pushing in through much of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and

:12:21. > :12:22.the North Midlands and perhaps the Suffolk area come tomorrow

:12:23. > :12:28.afternoon. Temperature is a good five or six degrees cooler than they

:12:29. > :12:35.have been today. The best of the sunshine arounds the West in

:12:36. > :12:41.Scotland. And cooler in the coastal areas with the breeze of the sea. In

:12:42. > :12:46.the evening, dry weather with sunshine around. Towards dusk, we

:12:47. > :12:52.see this batch of rain pushing into the south-east which makes inroads

:12:53. > :12:57.through parts of central Scotland. It also affects parts of Northern

:12:58. > :13:01.Ireland, more than England and northern Wales, but to the north and

:13:02. > :13:10.south of these areas, in a lot of dry, bright areas with sunshine. And

:13:11. > :13:13.warming up. For Friday, high pressure very much dominating

:13:14. > :13:18.proceedings. For us in Scotland, it is looking like a dry day, with

:13:19. > :13:22.brightness and sunshine around in the West. Highs of 17 or 18 Celsius.

:13:23. > :13:27.Our next update is during Breakfast at 6:25am tomorrow.

:13:28. > :13:30.But from the late team here in Glasgow and around
