:01:13. > :01:16.Young Scots from disadvantaged areas are four times less likely to go
:01:17. > :01:20.to university than those from wealthy backgrounds.
:01:21. > :01:23.That's a bigger gap than anywhere else in the UK.
:01:24. > :01:35.Here's our education correspondent Jamie McIvor.
:01:36. > :01:41.The number of Scots going to university is at a record high, and
:01:42. > :01:45.more youngsters from disadvantaged areas are starting to study for a
:01:46. > :01:50.degree, but this isn't the whole story. Youngsters from the most
:01:51. > :01:54.prosperous parts of Scotland are four times more likely to go to
:01:55. > :01:57.university than those from the most deprived areas. That gap is the
:01:58. > :02:02.widest in the UK. All parts of the deprived areas. That gap is the
:02:03. > :02:06.UK are struggling with widening access but in Scotland we have not
:02:07. > :02:11.made such good progress as in England in getting more poorer young
:02:12. > :02:16.people into university. The Scottish Government says closing the gap is
:02:17. > :02:20.one of its biggest names, but this will take time. There has been a
:02:21. > :02:25.historic pub with younger people from deprived backgrounds get into
:02:26. > :02:27.university. We are seeing significant improvements, and young
:02:28. > :02:32.people in Scotland are now more likely to go to university under the
:02:33. > :02:38.SNP government than when we came to office. But there is much more to
:02:39. > :02:42.do. There is one big difference in university policy between Scotland
:02:43. > :02:48.and the rest of the UK. Free tuition. A matter of principle which
:02:49. > :02:53.comes at a cost. It means there is a rigid limit on the number of
:02:54. > :02:57.university places open to Scots. Unless the number of places
:02:58. > :03:02.continues to rise, helping the disadvantaged could cause others to
:03:03. > :03:05.lose out. There is a priority that needs to be given to those from
:03:06. > :03:10.disadvantaged backgrounds and that is a talent we take up. We have to
:03:11. > :03:15.look at how to do that without displacing other learners, many from
:03:16. > :03:20.very ordinary backgrounds. Some say direct comparison with England is
:03:21. > :03:25.now difficult. One reason is the role of colleges. More people under
:03:26. > :03:31.30 in Scotland have been in higher education ban in England, but here,
:03:32. > :03:34.two in five went to college first, whereas in England it is roughly one
:03:35. > :03:41.in eight. These students at college are hoping to go on to do degrees. I
:03:42. > :03:45.hope to do mechanical engineering at Strathclyde University. I have
:03:46. > :03:54.chosen this route because it is a good transition. There is no need to
:03:55. > :03:57.rush. Today's report is a reminder that widening access is a
:03:58. > :04:00.complicated problem with no easy sound bite solutions.

:04:41. > :04:45.scene with a different eight machine and administered several of CPR. She
:04:46. > :04:49.was flown to a hospital in Glasgow but later died. I have been speaking
:04:50. > :04:55.to the headteacher who has been paying his respects. It is a very
:04:56. > :05:02.rare event. There is a sense of sadness. Akira was a popular girl in

:05:09. > :05:14.to me in the morning and wave to me on the way out at the end of the

:06:52. > :06:59.They left to consider their verdict at 10:40am. He said the jury of
:07:00. > :07:01.eight women and six men should consider the evidence
:07:02. > :07:05.dispassionately, although it was an emotional case. He said it was a
:07:06. > :07:07.circumstantial case and any inferences from the evidence should
:07:08. > :07:13.be reasonable and without speculation. The couple are accused
:07:14. > :07:17.of eight charges, including neglecting and murdering Liam Fee,
:07:18. > :07:23.and a catalogue of abuse against two other boys over two years. The case
:07:24. > :07:26.is that they engaged in an escalating passage of cruelty which
:07:27. > :07:31.led to the young boy dying from a blow to the abdomen so severe it led
:07:32. > :07:34.to his heart rupturing. The defence say it was neither of them that
:07:35. > :07:41.killed Liam Fee, but another young child is responsible. The jury spent
:07:42. > :07:46.four hours deliberating the evidence over the course of the day before
:07:47. > :07:50.they were sent home. Nyomi Fee waved to her mother sitting in the public

:07:55. > :07:59.jury they could reconvene on Monday at 10am to continue their
:08:00. > :08:04.deliberations. Rachel and Nyomi Fee deny murdering Liam Fee and blaming

:09:12. > :09:14.pupils are being shown around HMS Kent in Leith as part of

:09:19. > :09:23.Royal Navy confronted the German high Seas Fleet in the North Sea,
:09:24. > :09:29.more than 8000 men died. What did the visitors make of it? I like it
:09:30. > :09:36.that our countries are friends right now, and I can be here on a Royal
:09:37. > :09:41.Navy ship. I did not know much about it but the experience has been great
:09:42. > :09:47.for me to understand what happened and the history of it all. The
:09:48. > :09:51.battle left 14 Royal Navy ships at the bottom of the North Sea. But one
:09:52. > :09:59.of the survivors was Edward George Hobbs. Today, his grandson, Graham,

:10:10. > :10:16.for remembrance events. It will be poignant, my grandfather's side,
:10:17. > :10:23.seeing commemorations. Two or three of his contemporaries are here. That
:10:24. > :10:28.could quite easily have been him. More than 6000 British see men
:10:29. > :10:35.perished at Jutland but the battle is now seen as a victory. Loss of
:10:36. > :10:39.life was great on our side and the loss of ships, too. But the German
:10:40. > :10:44.high Seas Fleet never put to sea again with the serious intention of
:10:45. > :10:47.engaging the grand Fleet. That meant that Britain retained command of the
:10:48. > :10:53.North Sea and was able to mount a blockade of German -- Germany. That
:10:54. > :10:59.was important in bringing about the end of the war. Much of the British
:11:00. > :11:04.grand Fleet, particularly battle cruisers blown up by German forces,
:11:05. > :11:10.sailed from here, which is why the area will play a central role in the
:11:11. > :11:13.centenary. Events today have been about fact-finding, children

:16:14. > :16:24.on song straightaway, banishing the blues of his previous struggles this
:16:25. > :16:30.week. When your opponent is 6ft 11in, lobbing him isn't a great
:16:31. > :16:34.plan. The margins for error in tennis are minuscule. Not that too

:18:21. > :18:32.publicity shots for the team's new kit. The shirt sponsors used images
:18:33. > :18:36.like this. That prompted complaints to the Scottish FA. What kind of

:18:41. > :18:44.and painted to try and sell a football strip? Ayr United are a

:18:49. > :18:52.own goal here in terms of how they have tried to appeal to the
:18:53. > :18:56.families. It is a non-starter. The publicity shots have got people

:19:08. > :19:19.Yeah. It's good. Covered. So it is alright. Ayr United are making no

:19:34. > :19:39.Ayr United won a play-off final to reach the Championship, wearing

:21:06. > :21:10.budget cuts in the local councils and they are ripping away all the

:22:42. > :22:46.amazing. Back in 1987, Caroline Hogan was the witch. The story of
:22:47. > :22:52.the town will be told... I remember it being a lot of fun, a lot of fun.
:22:53. > :22:54.We had rehearsals to go to. We had to practice, you know, and rehearse
:22:55. > :22:58.We had rehearsals to go to. We had lines. There was so many of us all
:22:59. > :23:03.just keeping us going. I was only 15 at the time. I was still at school.
:23:04. > :23:08.This was dead exciting. The production was one of the biggest
:23:09. > :23:14.community theatre events ever seen in Scotland. A cast of 500. An
:23:15. > :23:19.audience of 1,000. They were bussed to the locations throughout Dundee.
:23:20. > :23:23.Now a slightly smaller cast is busy rehearsing some songs from the
:23:24. > :23:29.original show. The director, who put it altogether, nearly three decades
:23:30. > :23:34.ago, is back. I was looking at what was happening in Dundee. I felt a
:23:35. > :23:39.pang of homesickness, which is amazing. I really do believe that
:23:40. > :23:45.Dundee is a spiritual home for me. I think I learnt everything I know
:23:46. > :23:49.about theatre in this place. This performance is a taster. If there is
:23:50. > :23:53.an appetite for more Witch's Blood, then it is hoped to stage a fuller
:23:54. > :24:04.version of the show next year on its 30th anniversary.
:24:05. > :24:09.So, what kind of weekend can we expect from the weather?
:24:10. > :24:14.Looking fairly settled for most of us. Good evening. It has been
:24:15. > :24:19.disappointingly dull across much of Scotland today. Again, in the
:24:20. > :24:25.north-west, leading a charmed life with plenty of sunshine and clear
:24:26. > :24:28.blue skies. A few sharp showers in the north-west for a time. As we
:24:29. > :24:32.head through the overnight period, these will die out. It becomes dry,
:24:33. > :24:37.across-the-board. A fairly cloudy night to come for most of us.
:24:38. > :24:41.Perhaps some patchy mist and fog for eastern areas. Again, the clearest
:24:42. > :24:46.skies tonight will be in the north-west. And not a cold night to
:24:47. > :24:54.come for most of us. Into tomorrow, we hold on fairly cloudy skies. As
:24:55. > :24:59.we go through the day, it is a gradual brightening up process. Most
:25:00. > :25:05.of us seeing some brightness. So taking a closer look for the
:25:06. > :25:09.Argyll area. Plenty of brightness, some sunshine around. Just the odd
:25:10. > :25:22.shower through Dumfries and Galloway. For parts of the Fife
:25:23. > :25:25.area, it will feel quite cold. Inland over Aberdeenshire, and for
:25:26. > :25:28.much of the north-west, plenty of sunshine again tomorrow. A few
:25:29. > :25:36.showers developing here through the afternoon. Highs of 19 or 20
:25:37. > :25:40.Celsius. If you are hillwalking or climbing
:25:41. > :25:46.tomorrow, for the northern ranges, a lot of dry, bright weather. A few
:25:47. > :25:53.thundery showers across the north-west.
:25:54. > :25:57.For the more southern ranges, a lot of dry weather. Some brightness. A
:25:58. > :26:02.fair amount of cloud through the hills and for the Galloway hills,
:26:03. > :26:06.the odd shower. Again, 8 or 9 Celsius and light east to
:26:07. > :26:09.south-easterly winds. If you are going into the inshore waters
:26:10. > :26:14.tomorrow, it is a Force 3 or less for the more western areas. The
:26:15. > :26:20.winds will be light or slight seas and good visibility.
:26:21. > :26:26.For the inshore waters in the east, it's a Force 3 or 4 with slight seas
:26:27. > :26:30.and moderate to good visibility. Taking a look into the evening
:26:31. > :26:33.tomorrow, a few sharp showers across the north-west. Otherwise, a lot of
:26:34. > :26:37.dry, bright weather to end the day with some spells of sunshine. Sunday
:26:38. > :26:40.will be a very similar day to Saturday. A few showers developing
:26:41. > :26:44.across the north-west. Otherwise, a Saturday. A few showers developing
:26:45. > :26:47.lot of dry, bright weather with plenty of sunshine around and for
:26:48. > :26:50.bank holiday Monday, a lot of dry weather, the best of the sunshine
:26:51. > :26:52.for central and south-western Scotland.
:26:53. > :26:55.Now, a reminder of tonight's main news: Helping more young people
:26:56. > :26:58.from disadvantaged areas get to university is one of the Scottish
:26:59. > :27:03.But according to research published today the problem remains stark.
:27:04. > :27:05.Young Scots from disadvantaged areas are four times less likely to go
:27:06. > :27:10.to university than those from wealthy backgrounds.
:27:11. > :27:14.Bogus, misleading and confusing - that's how the claims being made
:27:15. > :27:17.by politicians on both sides of the EU referendum
:27:18. > :27:21.campaign have been described by an influential group of MPs.
:27:22. > :27:24.The Treasury Select Committee says the public are thoroughly fed up
:27:25. > :27:31.of what they call an "arms race" of lurid claims and counter claims.
:27:32. > :27:34.I'll be back with the headlines at 8.00pm and the late bulletin just
:27:35. > :27:38.Until then, from everyone on the team - right
:27:39. > :27:41.across the country - have a very good evening.
