:01:08. > :01:12.Rachel Fee, the boy's mother, told the court that the death
:01:13. > :01:15.of two-year-old Liam was a genuine tragedy
:01:16. > :01:18.but that she was not his murderer. From the High Court in Livingston,
:01:19. > :01:30.Lisa Summers reports. This morning, the lawyer for Rachel
:01:31. > :01:35.Fee, seen here on the left, gave his closing speech to the jury. He said
:01:36. > :01:38.the jury must put aside any preconceptions and prejudices they
:01:39. > :01:43.might have and look dispassionately at the evidence of what he called a
:01:44. > :01:47.harrowing case. Mr McConachie said tragedy is an overused word in these
:01:48. > :01:48.courts but he said the death of Liam Fee is a
:01:49. > :01:55.genuine tragedy. However, he urged the jury not to compound the tragedy
:01:56. > :01:57.by finding Rachel Fee guilty of her son's murder and there was not a
:01:58. > :02:02.shred of evidence against her. The lawyer said there was no evidence
:02:03. > :02:05.Rachel Fee was even in the house when the fatal blow was inflicted on
:02:06. > :02:07.Liam, or that she ever assaulted her son.
:02:08. > :02:13.Mr McConnachie said Rachel Fee had admitted she failed to get him
:02:14. > :02:16.medical treatment when she knew was a spec that he had a broken leg. He
:02:17. > :02:20.described that as an unforgivable crime for which you will be duly
:02:21. > :02:24.punished. But he said that does not make her a murderer. The lawyer said
:02:25. > :02:28.there was a persuasive case against another child. He said he had the
:02:29. > :02:32.motive, the opportunity and he had admitted it. With the defence case
:02:33. > :02:35.now closed, the trial judge, Lord Burns has begun to give his
:02:36. > :02:38.direction to the jury which he will finish tomorrow. He said there was
:02:39. > :02:41.no room for emotion and the jurors must act impartially as they
:02:42. > :02:49.consider the evidence in this circumstantial case. Rachel denies
:02:50. > :02:52.murdering Liam in March 20 14th and blaming his death on another child.

:10:14. > :10:17.since records began in the 1960s. In the past year, the Treasury put

:10:23. > :10:35.from tax revenues. The oil and gas industry is going
:10:36. > :10:39.through some choppy waters. Figures released today by the UK Government

:11:12. > :11:16.price, high cost base, we are now in a very unusual, I'm not sure it is a

:11:21. > :11:23.dealing with oil and gas, the first time that across-the-board,
:11:24. > :11:28.companies are almost every single one of them in a loss position and

:13:18. > :13:20.the two question papers had been issued and had to be compiled much
:13:21. > :13:26.more quickly than usual against a very tight deadline. We now know a
:13:27. > :13:29.bit more about what led to this near emergency. BBC Scotland understands
:13:30. > :13:33.the problem was sparked by a single teacher who had been involved in
:13:34. > :13:38.setting being Sam. The beer is the question may have given -- they may
:13:39. > :13:41.have given students information about the questions on how they
:13:42. > :13:45.could be answered. Word got back to the SQA and it acted. The concern
:13:46. > :13:48.was students could have been unfairly advantaged or spread the
:13:49. > :13:53.information widely on social media and ended up undermining the exam.
:13:54. > :13:58.The SQA is still investigating just what happened will stop it says it
:13:59. > :14:02.won't be commenting until a detailed investigation is completed. But just
:14:03. > :14:06.to make the point, there is no suggestion that any SQA employee
:14:07. > :14:13.acted inappropriately, nor of any mistakes by third-party agencies,
:14:14. > :14:17.like the printers. What might the consequences be? The SQA is not off
:14:18. > :14:21.the hook yet. We won't know until we get the results in August whether
:14:22. > :14:25.the replacement paper was really up to scratch. But it looks now as
:14:26. > :14:29.though what happened is that the SQA averted what could have been a very
:14:30. > :14:33.real crisis. As for the teacher, we will have to wait until we get the
:14:34. > :14:37.full report to find out exactly what happened. But the SQA does take
:14:38. > :14:38.confidentiality issues very seriously indeed. Thank you for

:15:10. > :15:19.largest battleship was ready for war. It tells us, the founder, this
:15:20. > :15:28.is the Bismarck, in the room stat field, close to Bergen. The Bismarck
:15:29. > :15:32.was preparing Attacking Allied shipping to staff Britain. Analysis
:15:33. > :15:36.of the pictures was crucial. She's not refuelling or arming. She is
:15:37. > :15:39.ready to go. You now know it is critical. At Bletchley park, the
:15:40. > :15:44.codebreakers already knew this was the case, that the operation had

:16:03. > :16:06.was an uneven fight. The Hood was over 20 years old and she was a
:16:07. > :16:09.battle cruiser, not a battleship, which meant she had rather less

:16:28. > :16:30.of all but three of the crew of almost 1500. It was a devastating

:18:28. > :18:32.morning if Andy Murray can rediscover his best form,
:18:33. > :18:34.after admitting to losing his way in his second-round win
:18:35. > :18:37.yesterday at the French Open. Murray takes on Croatia's Ivo
:18:38. > :18:40.Karlovic, and after two five-set victories so far,
:18:41. > :18:42.Murray wants to win quickly this time, as Kheredine Idessane
:18:43. > :18:57.reports from Paris. Straining for a view of the world
:18:58. > :19:01.number two. Barely even standing room at his practices this week, and
:19:02. > :19:05.there's plenty for him to work on after struggling badly yesterday to
:19:06. > :19:11.beat a player ranked over 160 places below him. Yeah, just lost my way.
:19:12. > :19:14.Hopefully that doesn't happen again throughout the tournament. I'm
:19:15. > :19:20.hitting the ball well in practice. Obviously had perfect preparation

:19:26. > :19:27.have those drop-offs against higher ranked or more experienced

:19:34. > :19:38.the grounds today, preferring to train off-site away from prying
:19:39. > :19:44.eyes. His coach Jamie Delgado will have a key role in trying to keep
:19:45. > :19:48.his protege calm on court. Someone who's known Andy Murray since they
:19:49. > :19:52.were kids says his outbursts only come from competitiveness. That's
:19:53. > :19:56.why he is who he is. I think there's been time that's he would admit it's
:19:57. > :20:01.boiled over slightly into being too negative. But even when he's playing

:25:35. > :25:39.southern and indeed central areas, it's been something grey and damp.
:25:40. > :25:43.This was the image from AJ's office in Stirling today. By contrast,

:25:58. > :26:01.the north of Scotland with long, clear spells tonight in the North
:26:02. > :26:05.West, chilly here. Otherwise cloudy and murky. Some bits and pieces of
:26:06. > :26:11.light and patchy rain continuing for central and southern Scotland too.
:26:12. > :26:15.But not a cold night to come for most of us, with light
:26:16. > :26:19.south-easterly winds. Into tomorrow, away from the North-west, it's a
:26:20. > :26:24.cloudy, Americay and damp start. During the day, we should see
:26:25. > :26:28.something by way of improvement, drying up and many of us seeing

:26:45. > :26:49.best of the sunshine tomorrow will be reserved for the likes of Harris,
:26:50. > :26:53.Lewis, in through the north-west Highlands, along the Murray coast
:26:54. > :26:56.and for north Aberdeenshire. Temperatures peak at 19 Celsius,

:27:07. > :27:10.the Highlands. Otherwise dry with spells of brightness and sunshine to
:27:11. > :27:14.end the day. For Saturday, high pressure to the north of the UK
