:00:15. > :00:17.facing fraud charges in connection with his involvement with the club.

:00:18. > :00:20.He appeared alone in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow

:00:21. > :00:24.All the men who were originally charged with him have now had

:00:25. > :00:39.Inside the High Court today, Craig Whyte sat by and self in the dock,

:00:40. > :00:43.the only man now facing fraud charges for his time at Rangers. How

:00:44. > :00:47.does it feel to be the only man left in the dock on these charges?

:00:48. > :00:53.Outside, his thoughts on that he kept to himself. The Crown told the

:00:54. > :00:58.court that charges have been dropped against Gary Whitty, David Greer,

:00:59. > :01:01.David Whitehouse and Paul Clark. However, in relation to Charles

:01:02. > :01:04.Greer and Imran Amit, the prosecution said they may consider

:01:05. > :01:10.raising further charges against them in future. David Whitehouse and Paul

:01:11. > :01:15.Clark both came to court today to hear for themselves the charges

:01:16. > :01:20.against them being dropped. Mr Clarke, how do you feel that when

:01:21. > :01:22.today? You must be relieved. In 2012 had been appointed as joint

:01:23. > :01:26.administrators of Rangers food or club. Two years later as they were

:01:27. > :01:29.arrested, held in a police cell for the weekend, and taken to court. A

:01:30. > :01:31.statement was issued on their behalf the weekend, and taken to court. A

:01:32. > :02:05.this afternoon by the solicitors. The judge, Lord Valentine, told the

:02:06. > :02:08.defence advocate that as there is only one man sitting in the dock,

:02:09. > :02:12.the next time Craig Whyte appeared in court he wanted to set a date for

:02:13. > :02:15.trial, and to do that he needed to know how the defence intended to

:02:16. > :02:19.argue their case and how long they believed that the case. That next

:02:20. > :02:22.appearance will be here at the High Court in Glasgow at the end of July.

:02:23. > :02:26.The murder of toddler Liam Fee has highlighted issues of concern

:02:27. > :02:36.Today the Education Secretary said there would still be "atrocious

:02:37. > :02:38.incidents" of child abuse but lessons must

:02:39. > :02:41.John Swinney was speaking at a child protection summit in Perth,

:02:42. > :02:44.where he challenged experts to ensure they got things correct.

:02:45. > :02:55.The case of a little boiling and large over these social work

:02:56. > :03:01.expects. They were not meeting because of Liam Fee's murder, but

:03:02. > :03:06.his tragic story focused minds on trying to improve child protection.

:03:07. > :03:10.There will be atrocious incidents perpetrated, thankfully very, very

:03:11. > :03:13.rarely in our society, and we have to learn lessons from those

:03:14. > :03:17.incidents when they happen to help avoid them happening ever again.

:03:18. > :03:22.This week has seen intensive scrutiny of child protection and the

:03:23. > :03:28.government's named person policy, as an expert review into Liam's death

:03:29. > :03:32.gets underway. What named person is about is providing a contact point

:03:33. > :03:37.for every child in Scotland, every family, so that when they face

:03:38. > :03:43.difficulties they are able to rely on early and swift access to public

:03:44. > :03:49.services to address those issues. Promising plenty of support, John

:03:50. > :03:55.Swinney challenged experts to ask, have we got this correct? After a

:03:56. > :03:59.difficult week. Social work practitioners feel horror at what

:04:00. > :04:03.happened to Liam, and there is determination that they have to be

:04:04. > :04:10.better and learn from this, what more they can do to support families

:04:11. > :04:12.and children likely. In the dark auditorium, a glimmer of hope from

:04:13. > :04:18.one young man with a troubled childhood, who turned his life

:04:19. > :04:22.around to become a successful actor. When I'm in schools and in

:04:23. > :04:26.communities, what I am seeing is real change in the people that are

:04:27. > :04:32.coming from the backgrounds of poverty and deprivation. I can see

:04:33. > :04:35.the actual change in the people. Social workers and government

:04:36. > :04:40.ministers also that tragic incidents will still happen in society, but we

:04:41. > :04:43.must still try to have the best child protection laws possible.

:04:44. > :04:47.Unfortunately for the delegates at the conference here today, they are

:04:48. > :04:49.having to learn lessons from some very sad cases.

:04:50. > :04:52.Doctors say more people might survive devastating infections

:04:53. > :04:56.and heart attacks if Scotland had more ECMO machines.

:04:57. > :04:59.They take over the work of the lungs, oxygenating the blood

:05:00. > :05:04.Specialists at a medical conference in Glasgow today were told that

:05:05. > :05:09.Scottish patients often have to be sent to England or even abroad.

:05:10. > :05:15.Our health correspondent Eleanor Bradford has met one

:05:16. > :05:29.Brian and his wife enjoy every moment of life, but they know how

:05:30. > :05:32.easily it can end. We were on holiday and the last day was feeling

:05:33. > :05:41.extremely unwell, and it turned out it a massive heart attack. Brian was

:05:42. > :05:46.rushed to hospital on the mainland. It is known as the crash and burn

:05:47. > :05:51.situation. His heart was not pumping, he had crashed, and was

:05:52. > :06:02.burning. Brian was put on a special device, and ECMO machine, to keep

:06:03. > :06:06.them alive. It was vital he would get fit enough to undergo a heart

:06:07. > :06:09.transplant, and it came to the point where the doctors thought, this is

:06:10. > :06:14.not happening, so they introduced palliative care. Medical opinion was

:06:15. > :06:19.that Brian was going to die, but then something remarkable happened.

:06:20. > :06:25.I could see in Brian he was going to live. And that was the point when I

:06:26. > :06:30.said, we're going to get married. They got married in intensive care.

:06:31. > :06:32.And it was the best thing he were dead, because following that, his

:06:33. > :06:34.And it was the best thing he were kidneys recovered, in fact,

:06:35. > :06:38.everything went back to normal except his heart. He had a broken

:06:39. > :06:46.heart. Love conquers all, almost all. His heart was the one thing he

:06:47. > :06:52.couldn't fix. Within five weeks he had a heart transplant. And there

:06:53. > :06:55.was hope, you know's and there would not have been hope if the machines

:06:56. > :07:00.had not exist they had not decided to use the machines. And this is why

:07:01. > :07:03.it is so important to have the machines, and this is why the

:07:04. > :07:11.conference is such a great thing as well. There is nothing like these

:07:12. > :07:20.devices, devices that transform a fatal situation into a potential

:07:21. > :07:23.recovery. It is too enough years since the transplant. It is

:07:24. > :07:28.fantastic to be still alive. Life is there to be treasured.

:07:29. > :07:30.Andy Murray has made the final of the French Open

:07:31. > :07:40.He's the first British man to get there in nearly 80 years.

:07:41. > :07:42.The world number two beat the defending champion Stan Wawrinka

:07:43. > :07:44.by three sets to one in the semifinals.

:07:45. > :07:46.Murray will now play world number one Novak Djokovic

:07:47. > :07:51.Football, and the Scotland women's team suffered a setback tonight

:07:52. > :07:53.in their bid to qualify for the European Championships.

:07:54. > :07:57.Iceland defeated the Scots 4-0 in a qualifying match.

:07:58. > :08:00.Kim Little ended a miserable night for the home side after missing

:08:01. > :08:10.Now let's get the weekend weather with Kirsteen.

:08:11. > :08:18.It's looking very good. Good evening. It has been another

:08:19. > :08:22.beautiful day across the West of Scotland with some clear blue skies

:08:23. > :08:28.around. Thank you to Ian for sending this picture. Blue skies are not far

:08:29. > :08:33.off the mark as far as we can weather is concerned. Tonight will

:08:34. > :08:38.be mostly dry, some cloud for central and southern Scotland, a few

:08:39. > :08:43.showers. The clear skies will be across the North, some lovely

:08:44. > :08:47.conditions to start the day. Cloud in central and southern Scotland, a

:08:48. > :08:51.few showers, the showers will die out and the cloud will melt away

:08:52. > :08:57.over the morning. Tomorrow afternoon, plenty of sunshine across

:08:58. > :09:00.Scotland. Temperatures widely around 16-20 Celsius, perhaps peaking in

:09:01. > :09:05.parts of Argyll and the north-west 16-20 Celsius, perhaps peaking in

:09:06. > :09:09.Highlands at 23 or 24 Celsius. The warmth could trigger the odd

:09:10. > :09:13.isolated shower here. Across the northern isles on the Murray Coast,

:09:14. > :09:17.we will see more in the way of cloud, and with the breeze coming in

:09:18. > :09:23.from the North Sea will feel chillier once again. The UK as a

:09:24. > :09:25.whole summer after a damp and miserable start across much of

:09:26. > :09:29.eastern England, it is an improving picture with bright sunny spells and

:09:30. > :09:35.eastern England, it is an improving warming up. More cloud in the

:09:36. > :09:38.south-west but there will be some bright spells. Feeling chilly on the

:09:39. > :09:42.east coast with wins coming in from the North Sea. For the evening

:09:43. > :09:48.across Scotland, the showers die out and it is a fine, sunny and warm end

:09:49. > :09:51.to the day. Sunday is looking dry across-the-board giver take a few

:09:52. > :09:57.isolated showers for western areas. Again prompted by the heat. We could

:09:58. > :10:00.quite easily reach 25 Celsius in the south-east and the West of Scotland.
