:00:11. > :00:12.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland - Could Liam have been saved?

:00:13. > :00:23.We speak to a neighbour who reported concerns about murdered toddler

:00:24. > :00:29.Liam Fee to social services but says she wasn't taken seriously.

:00:30. > :00:34.People were speaking up, but they were not taken seriously.

:00:35. > :00:37.We'll be asking if the government's controversial Named Person scheme

:00:38. > :00:40.Also on the programme - an ultimatum to Scottish football -

:00:41. > :00:43.the Justice Secretary says disorder and violence must be tackled

:00:44. > :00:46.The day the inspectors arrived at a hospital

:00:47. > :00:53.After a tough start, Andy Murray beats Richard Gasquet to reach

:00:54. > :01:04.And he captained Rangers and Scotland -

:01:05. > :01:07.and even scored the a winner against England -

:01:08. > :01:08.now Eric Caldow's using his footballing memories

:01:09. > :01:29.she alerted social services about what she described

:01:30. > :01:33.as her "gut-wrenching" feeling that something was wrong with the child.

:01:34. > :01:37.As the two-year-old's mother and her partner await sentence

:01:38. > :01:42.for killing Liam and abusing two other boys, Tricia Smith has spoken

:01:43. > :01:46.for the first time about how she phoned Fife Council to alert

:01:47. > :01:48.them, but felt she and others weren't taken seriously.

:01:49. > :02:01.Patricia Smith newly. Her son is the same age. They went to the same

:02:02. > :02:06.childminder. What she saw haunts her to this day. It was awful. I didn't

:02:07. > :02:13.know if he was actually drugged or dead. I had a gut feeling before in

:02:14. > :02:18.the past, but this gut feeling was proper. She was one of several women

:02:19. > :02:22.who raised the alarm. I can't get the vision out of my head. It is

:02:23. > :02:27.affecting my sleep and everything. The whole community is completely

:02:28. > :02:32.knocked by this. The worst part is that a lot of people were speaking

:02:33. > :02:35.up and obviously, we were not taken seriously enough. Rubens reflect

:02:36. > :02:41.great sadness across this part of Fife. -- ribbons. The premature

:02:42. > :02:45.death of a young child is a very difficult set of circumstances,

:02:46. > :02:49.where people are very much at a loss. So again, we come back to the

:02:50. > :02:53.compassion that people need to share. People are looking for hope

:02:54. > :02:58.and assurance, and if we threw the church can help to share that, that

:02:59. > :03:02.is what we are here for, to bring back comfort. Locals say they know

:03:03. > :03:06.and respect many social workers, but in this case on their concerns were

:03:07. > :03:10.not responded to well enough. They argue that more staff and resources

:03:11. > :03:15.are needed, better training and lighter caseloads. Liam's mother

:03:16. > :03:20.Rachel and her partner Nyomi murdered him, people here said the

:03:21. > :03:21.government and authorities could have

:03:22. > :03:25.done more. Why haven't lessons being learned before now? Liam could have

:03:26. > :03:32.still been alive. Meanwhile, the First Minister has

:03:33. > :03:35.defended her party's controversial Named Person legislation after it

:03:36. > :03:38.emerged that a pilot scheme running in Fife was ineffective in

:03:39. > :03:40.preventing the abuse The child protection measure

:03:41. > :03:43.is due to come into effect Here's our Social Affairs

:03:44. > :03:58.Correspondent, Reevel Alderson. Mikhail Kukushkin Brandon Muir,

:03:59. > :04:03.Carla Nicole bone, Kenneth Ness and Brandon Reed. Now add Liam Fee to

:04:04. > :04:04.that tragic roll call of children killed by those who should have

:04:05. > :04:08.protected them. A significant case review has

:04:09. > :04:15.already been ordered to find out how Liam Fee was failed in his short

:04:16. > :04:22.life. But could he have been saved by the controversial policy to look

:04:23. > :04:25.after every child in Scotland? It is unfortunately the case that no

:04:26. > :04:30.system anywhere in the world will absolutely guaranteed that nothing

:04:31. > :04:32.horrific happens to a child. But this is all about trying to make

:04:33. > :04:52.sure that we reduced the they would not have saved Liam or

:04:53. > :04:54.any of the other children. There's strong argument that if

:04:55. > :05:00.named person in place, you are taking attention away from the small

:05:01. > :05:02.number of children that need extra attention.

:05:03. > :05:12.Danielle's mother helped her daughter's killer dumped her body in

:05:13. > :05:12.the Caledonian Canal. It prompted changes

:05:13. > :05:16.in Highland Council's child protection policies, similar to the

:05:17. > :05:22.named person scheme. to get early support to families,

:05:23. > :05:24.more families are getting early intervention. That means that the

:05:25. > :05:28.needs of less children are escalating. That means

:05:29. > :05:31.in Highland, there are fewer children at risk of harm. That means

:05:32. > :05:35.that social workers' caseloads have reduced, and

:05:36. > :05:39.social workers are now working with the children they should be working

:05:40. > :05:42.with. The named person scheme comes into effect in August,

:05:43. > :05:54.Fee would have been five and starting school.

:05:55. > :05:57.MSPs have voted in favour of a complete ban on fracking

:05:58. > :05:58.after SNP members at Holyrood abstained.

:05:59. > :06:01.Ministers say they will take account of the vote -

:06:02. > :06:04.but insist it is right to continue with a full scientific appraisal

:06:05. > :06:09.Our political editor Brian Taylor is at Holyrood tonight.

:06:10. > :06:19.Can this be described as a defeat for the government? May be a

:06:20. > :06:23.tactical retreat. Here at Holyrood, the SNP are in a minority. Tonight's

:06:24. > :06:28.vote confirmed that, but they could have headed off this demand for an

:06:29. > :06:32.instant ban on fracking. But to do that, they would have to have voted

:06:33. > :06:37.with the Conservatives, and they chose not to do so. They chose to

:06:38. > :06:40.abstain. That allowed Labour and green amendments demanding a ban on

:06:41. > :06:47.fracking to carry by a small majority. What does it mean? It

:06:48. > :06:52.means that they will still continue as ministers to take the scientific

:06:53. > :07:00.evidence. Perhaps a decision in early spring next year. Is it

:07:01. > :07:04.entirely relevant? By no means. Tonight's vote measurably increases

:07:05. > :07:10.the pressure upon the SNP, pressure that was already strong to go for a

:07:11. > :07:12.complete ban on fracking. If you asked me if I think there will be a

:07:13. > :07:15.complete ban, the answer is yes. The Justice Secretary has delivered

:07:16. > :07:17.an ultimatum to Scottish football saying disorder and violence must be

:07:18. > :07:20.tackled or the government will act. Michael Matheson is suggesting that

:07:21. > :07:23.a form of strict liability could be adopted where a club is punished

:07:24. > :07:26.for the bad behaviour of its fans. Here's our senior football

:07:27. > :07:41.reporter, Chris McLaughlin. The dying minutes of this year's

:07:42. > :07:45.Scottish cup final. It is the goal that secures him the trophy for the

:07:46. > :07:53.first time in 114 years. The mayhem that follows kick-start three

:07:54. > :07:57.separate investigations. For now, those who run Scottish football are

:07:58. > :08:03.being told to sort it out, or else. The time is now right when we start

:08:04. > :08:07.to use -- need to start seeing action. We need to assess how

:08:08. > :08:11.serious they are about taking action. If Scottish football is not

:08:12. > :08:14.prepared to take action, it means the government will have to look at

:08:15. > :08:18.what other options are available to address these issues. The other

:08:19. > :08:23.issues he is referring to were raised during today's talks - sector

:08:24. > :08:26.area and singing, the use of smoke bombs and flares and in general,

:08:27. > :08:28.fans getting onto the pitch. Holyrood now wants Scottish football

:08:29. > :08:31.to adopt something known as strict Holyrood now wants Scottish football

:08:32. > :08:38.liability. That would mean but ultimately giving up the power to

:08:39. > :08:42.police themselves. We remembers' organisation. The members decide

:08:43. > :08:47.what happens next. But the members have been passed previously and have

:08:48. > :08:51.rejected it. They have. Ultimately, if the members don't believe they

:08:52. > :08:55.can accept it, that maybe their position if a resolution gets put

:08:56. > :09:00.forward. If that doesn't happen, the government have made it clear what

:09:01. > :09:03.their feelings are. The SFA described the scenes witnessed here

:09:04. > :09:07.last month was embarrassing, but they also feel uneasy about the

:09:08. > :09:10.latest government intervention. The solution? For clubs who ultimately

:09:11. > :09:15.run the game to adopt stricter rules. That is something they have

:09:16. > :09:19.always resisted in the past. The question is, will what happened here

:09:20. > :09:22.recently and this latest political pressure be enough to change minds?

:09:23. > :09:24.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.

:09:25. > :09:25.Still to come on tonight's programme...

:09:26. > :09:28.We explore how the EU referendum vote could raise new questions

:09:29. > :09:37.Murray makes the semis - we report from the French Open in Paris.

:09:38. > :09:40.Could Charlie Flynn make Britain's Olympic boxing team

:09:41. > :09:49.Elderly care wards in Edinburgh were so short-staffed that

:09:50. > :09:52.inspectors had to intervene to help patients whose buzzers

:09:53. > :09:59.The inspectors were visiting four NHS hospitals earlier this year

:10:00. > :10:01.to carry out a review of the quality of care.

:10:02. > :10:04.NHS Lothian says the issues have been addressed.

:10:05. > :10:12.Our health correspondent Eleanor Bradford joins me now.

:10:13. > :10:16.Tell us more about the situations inspectors found themselves in.

:10:17. > :10:23.These inspectors were from the health watchdog. They were visiting

:10:24. > :10:27.all of Edinburgh's elderly care hospitals. As you said, when they

:10:28. > :10:32.arrived, they had to intervene to up two patients who had rung their

:10:33. > :10:35.buzzers and no one had come. They described during their visits in

:10:36. > :10:39.three wards, they said buzzers were ringing constantly. It was noisy,

:10:40. > :10:44.there were long periods before staff were able to respond to those

:10:45. > :10:46.buzzers. There were other concerns as well about pain management, about

:10:47. > :10:49.food and nutrition and gaps in as well about pain management, about

:10:50. > :10:52.patients' notes. They said the running theme under all this was

:10:53. > :10:57.under staffing. These inspectors were called in in the first phase

:10:58. > :11:00.because of a complaint by a family who had had a very bad experience in

:11:01. > :11:04.one of these elderly care hospitals. That family told us today that the

:11:05. > :11:08.inspectors' report mirrored their own experiences. There are so many

:11:09. > :11:11.inspectors' report mirrored their echoes of what happened to dad, the

:11:12. > :11:16.drinks being out of reach, the buzzers ringing, the fact that

:11:17. > :11:20.inspectors had to intervene on a number of occasions. That was

:11:21. > :11:26.heartbreaking to hear. That is what stays with my brothers and I, the

:11:27. > :11:32.constant cacophony of buzzers and shouting and screaming and distress.

:11:33. > :11:37.Lothian NHS says the issues have been addressed. These inspections

:11:38. > :11:43.were carried out as recently as this year, but NHS Lothian bus said they

:11:44. > :11:46.have invested ?1 million in staffing and have urgently addressed the

:11:47. > :11:50.issues outlined in this report. They also point out that the report did

:11:51. > :11:54.find areas of good performance in all the hospitals. Last year, the

:11:55. > :11:58.Royal College of Nursing pointed out that the system of inspections we

:11:59. > :12:00.have in Scotland has not led to improvements. They say the same

:12:01. > :12:05.problems are being found again and again. Now there is a campaign by a

:12:06. > :12:08.group of people who want the inspection system strengthened so

:12:09. > :12:12.that they say prosecutions could be brought against managers who don't

:12:13. > :12:18.have services which are up to scratch. The Scottish Government has

:12:19. > :12:20.always rejected that, and have said the inspection system we have in

:12:21. > :12:22.Scotland is strong enough. The US presidential candidate

:12:23. > :12:24.Donald Trump has announced he plans to attend the official opening

:12:25. > :12:26.of his refurbished golf course ?200 million has been spent

:12:27. > :12:30.on the course and hotel in Ayrshire, with the official opening

:12:31. > :12:34.on June 24th, There have been calls for Mr Trump

:12:35. > :12:39.to be banned from entering Britain over controversial comments

:12:40. > :12:46.he's made on the campaign trail. A woman has died after falling

:12:47. > :12:48.around 20 metres Emergency services were called

:12:49. > :12:52.in this afternoon to try to rescue the woman, but she passed

:12:53. > :12:54.away at the scene. A police investigation has been

:12:55. > :12:57.launched and officers have urged motorists and members

:12:58. > :13:02.of the public to avoid the area. A look at other stories

:13:03. > :13:04.from across the country now. Seven members of a gang who planned

:13:05. > :13:07.to rob an upmarket jeweller's at a hotel in St Andrews have been

:13:08. > :13:11.jailed for a total of 47 years. Police swooped on the gang ahead

:13:12. > :13:14.of the attempted raid at the Mappin and Webb shop at the

:13:15. > :13:18.Old Course Hotel in March 2015. They were sentenced

:13:19. > :13:21.at the High Court in Paisley. An agreement in principle has been

:13:22. > :13:24.reached to end a long-running equal pay dispute between North

:13:25. > :13:27.Lanarkshire Council The GMB union said women care

:13:28. > :13:33.workers, cleaners and janitors had The council described the offer

:13:34. > :13:38.as a "positive step" Two Edinburgh schools closed over

:13:39. > :13:45.safety fears will not reopen Further work is needed on Royal High

:13:46. > :13:52.and Drummond Community High schools. Both were expected to reopen

:13:53. > :13:55.in three weeks' time. Pupils will now be able to return

:13:56. > :13:59.after the summer break. Argyll received a spending boost

:14:00. > :14:03.of almost ?2.8 million when Oban hosted last year's Royal National

:14:04. > :14:06.Mod. A new independent study also

:14:07. > :14:09.indicates that most of those A 3.5 metre model of

:14:10. > :14:17.the National Museum of Scotland built from Lego has been unveiled

:14:18. > :14:19.to mark the 150th It's made of 90,000 bricks and took

:14:20. > :14:27.350 hours to build. It will be on display at the museum

:14:28. > :14:34.until the end of the year. With just over three weeks

:14:35. > :14:36.to the EU referendum, one of the key questions

:14:37. > :14:40.in the debate has been: what happens if Scots vote to stay in and the

:14:41. > :14:43.rest of the UK votes to leave? Would a vote to leave the EU

:14:44. > :14:49.change the arguments for and against

:14:50. > :14:51.Scottish independence? Allan Little has been finding out

:14:52. > :15:03.what people across Scotland think. It is no secret that Scotland's

:15:04. > :15:07.fishing industry has long blamed EU membership for its decline.

:15:08. > :15:11.Peterhead may still be the biggest fish market in Europe, but it's a

:15:12. > :15:12.fraction of what it was before the UK had to share it sees with the

:15:13. > :15:17.rest of Europe. As the years went UK had to share it sees with the

:15:18. > :15:24.by, Brussels seem to have more and more control. Every time they used

:15:25. > :15:30.to come back from negotiations, more and more restrictions were coming

:15:31. > :15:34.in. It was like a noose tightening around your neck. No secret is that

:15:35. > :15:40.much of Scottish industry wants to stay inside a single market of 500

:15:41. > :15:45.million people, about a third of Scotland's whiskey exports go to the

:15:46. > :15:47.EU. But as always, the Inn at debate presences of differently in

:15:48. > :15:52.Scotland, for there is a strong ability that the -- Scotland will

:15:53. > :15:57.vote to remain while the UK as a whole will vote to leave. What then?

:15:58. > :16:00.We were told if we voted yes, we would imperil our European Union

:16:01. > :16:04.membership. Now to find ourselves facing the prospect of being taken

:16:05. > :16:08.out, having voted no, many people would be deeply upset about that,

:16:09. > :16:12.because they didn't want to leave the European Union, but also angry

:16:13. > :16:15.that we had in effect been misled in that way during the referendum.

:16:16. > :16:21.Would support for independence rise in Scotland voted to stay in the EU,

:16:22. > :16:25.but ended up leaving anyway? Is there a legitimacy?? There is no

:16:26. > :16:31.question of democratic legitimacy at all. First, it is important that

:16:32. > :16:35.Scots approached during the 23rd with one question in their mind,

:16:36. > :16:40.which is, should we continue to be members of the EU? That is the only

:16:41. > :16:44.question being as. How would they vote to leave the EU change the

:16:45. > :16:49.arguments for and against independence? Could the SNP still

:16:50. > :16:52.argue for a shared currency if crossing this bridge at Coldstream

:16:53. > :16:55.also meant entering the EU? Would there be customs barriers here,

:16:56. > :17:01.passport controls, immigration checks? One of the big issues in the

:17:02. > :17:06.Scottish independence referendum was the issue of the currency. That was

:17:07. > :17:09.difficult enough then. The idea of trying to sell the message of

:17:10. > :17:14.Scottish independence on the currency issue in the context of

:17:15. > :17:17.Brexit would be very difficult. What currency would own independent

:17:18. > :17:21.Scotland use, would it be moving towards the euro? I don't think the

:17:22. > :17:23.SNP want to sell that to the electorate. Would a vote to leave

:17:24. > :17:27.the European Union propels Scotland electorate. Would a vote to leave

:17:28. > :17:28.further down the road to independence? Well, it certainly

:17:29. > :17:31.changes the independence independence? Well, it certainly

:17:32. > :17:35.in ways we haven't even begun to consider. And it would confront

:17:36. > :17:39.Scotland with a new national question. Which union do you want to

:17:40. > :17:42.be part of, the British one or the European one? And that is an

:17:43. > :17:45.argument we haven't even started to have yet.

:17:46. > :17:48.And you can see more on that tonight in Scotland:

:17:49. > :17:55.The Edge of Europe at 7.30pm on BBC One Scotland.

:17:56. > :18:01.News coming in, investigators have issued an urgent safety

:18:30. > :18:32.quarter-finals today, surviving a bit of a scare on the way.

:18:33. > :18:34.To get to the final, Murray will have to beat

:18:43. > :18:51.The long awaited wakon after two dreich days of rain. Murray

:18:52. > :18:57.consolidated a break of serve. His shot-making was so good that he

:18:58. > :19:03.literally blew his French opponent off his feed. But from down on his

:19:04. > :19:08.bottom, Gasguet reeled off five games in a row as the Murray magic

:19:09. > :19:12.vanished in front of his adoring home crowd. Curiously, the second

:19:13. > :19:21.set followed almost exactly the same person with both players at times at

:19:22. > :19:28.the top of their games... COMMENTATOR: Just outrageous racket

:19:29. > :19:35.skills. Murray moved 5-2 ahead. Gasguet battled back. He levelled

:19:36. > :19:38.the match one set all. The momentum swung significantly towards the

:19:39. > :19:46.world number two. So much so, he sailed through the third set 6-0.

:19:47. > :19:51.Murray was in the mood making sure of a semi-final spot. Andy Murzak

:19:52. > :19:58.yes's never been to the final of the French Open. Could that be about to
