:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight on Reporting Scotland, a scathing verdict on Tony Blair's

:00:07. > :00:13.The Chilcot report says the justification was flawed,

:00:14. > :00:15.preparations were hasty and Iraq is still suffering the consequences.

:00:16. > :00:18.19 of those who died were Scots - for their families, the loss

:00:19. > :00:47.and we'll be assessing what might happen now.

:00:48. > :00:50.Also on the programme: Rachel and Nyomi Fee are jailed for life

:00:51. > :00:53.for murdering Rachel's two-year-old son Liam and subjecting him to years

:00:54. > :01:03.A Foreign Office minister casts doubt on whether Scotland can remain

:01:04. > :01:06.in the EU when the UK leaves - Nicola Sturgeon says it's premature

:01:07. > :01:12.And so far, so good - Andy Murray makes a battling start

:01:13. > :01:27.as he bids for a place in the Wimbledon semi-final.

:01:28. > :01:32.The First Minister has branded the Iraq Inquiry report as "damning"

:01:33. > :01:35.of former Prime Minister, Tony Blair.

:01:36. > :01:38.Nicola Sturgeon said that, while she could not be

:01:39. > :01:40.sure whether Mr Blair knowingly misled parliament,

:01:41. > :01:42.MPs did not have all the information needed to make

:01:43. > :01:48.Sir John Chilcot's report raised questions about

:01:49. > :01:51.the necessity of the conflict, as well as the strength

:01:52. > :01:55.of the intelligence and legal advice with which it was justified.

:01:56. > :01:57.In a moment, we'll hear from people who's lives were changed

:01:58. > :02:00.But first to Westminster, where David Porter

:02:01. > :02:15.Jackie, tonight at Westminster the full implications of the Chilcot

:02:16. > :02:24.Report are being digestive. This is the executive summary. It alone runs

:02:25. > :02:27.to 140 pages. Earlier, Sir John announced to the world media, to

:02:28. > :02:31.politicians and the families of those who have died in Iraq, the

:02:32. > :02:42.full contents of his report. It runs to 2.5 million pages and has 250,000

:02:43. > :02:46.chapters. It will become, in effect, the ultimate narrative of what

:02:47. > :02:51.happened before, during and after the Iraq conflict.

:02:52. > :02:56.A place to reflect and contemplate. In the shadow of

:02:57. > :02:58.Westminster, this site will soon become a permanent memorial to those

:02:59. > :03:08.who died in the Iraq war. Of course, nothing can compare to

:03:09. > :03:10.the loss of bereaved relatives, but British politics has been scarred by

:03:11. > :03:12.the conflict. Today an answer the myriad of questions. We

:03:13. > :03:20.have concluded that the UK chose to join

:03:21. > :03:30.the invasion of Iraq before the peaceful options have been

:03:31. > :03:37.exhausted. Military action at that time was not a last resort. 13 years

:03:38. > :03:43.on, Iraq still raises raw emotions, none more so than from the families

:03:44. > :03:49.of those who died. A lot of what we have heard and what we have

:03:50. > :03:52.in reading... That is why a lot of mothers and fathers have been into

:03:53. > :03:59.us today. What has been confirmed today is

:04:00. > :04:05.gut-wrenching. In the House of Commons, tough questions. Amid all

:04:06. > :04:08.this stuff about improving processes, which is fantastically

:04:09. > :04:13.important, no knowledge it, is it not people who make decisions at the

:04:14. > :04:15.end of the day? And in our search for responsibility, wouldn't it help

:04:16. > :04:23.if individuals responsible were held accountable? He is right. The people

:04:24. > :04:27.who took those decisions should be held accountable in this House, in

:04:28. > :04:30.the Court of public opinion. They are also accountable in terms of

:04:31. > :04:35.people who might want to take action, as people have, through the

:04:36. > :04:40.courts, with respect to equipment failures and the rest of it. But

:04:41. > :04:43.clearly, the government of the day and the Prime Minister of the day

:04:44. > :04:48.have to account for themselves, and I understand Mr Blair is doing that

:04:49. > :04:52.now. He defended his actions. I did not mislead this country. I made the

:04:53. > :04:57.decision in good faith on the information I had at that time. But

:04:58. > :05:04.back in 2003, plenty opposed military action. Iraq probably has

:05:05. > :05:09.no weapons of mass destruction in the commonly understood sense of the

:05:10. > :05:09.term. And amid the mass protests, then Liberal Democrat leader,

:05:10. > :05:17.Charles Kennedy, also face against military action. This

:05:18. > :05:27.is the riskiest moment for Britain since Suez. Is a vindication of

:05:28. > :05:29.Charles Kennedy and of course of Robin Cook, who resigned from Tony

:05:30. > :05:33.Blair's Cabinet because he did not agree with the proposal. Unhappily,

:05:34. > :05:44.neither of them are here. agree with the proposal. Unhappily,

:05:45. > :05:49.initial war in Iraq saw overwhelming force used against Saddam Hussein.

:05:50. > :05:51.Soon, like his statue, his regime was toppled. But winning the peace

:05:52. > :05:58.proved more difficult and cost Scottish lives. Next week, MPs will

:05:59. > :06:00.get two days to debate the Chilcot Report. They say lessons must be

:06:01. > :06:12.learned. The findings in the report will be

:06:13. > :06:13.read closely by those who served in the Iraq war, as well as their

:06:14. > :06:17.read closely by those who served in family and friends. 19 of those

:06:18. > :06:21.killed in the conflict were from Scotland. Today, their relatives

:06:22. > :06:23.described the report as gut-wrenching.

:06:24. > :06:29.Kevin Keane has been to meet some of them. They are the casualties of

:06:30. > :06:34.war. The 19 Scots who lost their lives in the desert. Far from home.

:06:35. > :06:41.Never knowing that their conflict would unwind so spectacularly.

:06:42. > :06:45.Corporal Gordon Gentle watching over his mother, rose, one of the key

:06:46. > :06:56.campaigners. He was a 6-foot, six soldier killed by a roadside bomb. A

:06:57. > :07:01.gentle giant. Gordon would help out the neighbours. They loved him. For

:07:02. > :07:11.rows, the fight for justice must go on. I promised him I would do it. It

:07:12. > :07:17.is something I need to do. I just felt something wasn't right. Of the

:07:18. > :07:24.dead, one in ten were Scots. The families receiving that dreadful

:07:25. > :07:25.news, what they had feared. Lance Corporal Allan Douglas -- Lance

:07:26. > :07:30.Corporal Allan Douglas from Aberdeen Corporal Allan Douglas -- Lance

:07:31. > :07:34.were shot on routine patrol in 2006. Allen did not want to go to Iraq. He

:07:35. > :07:35.joined the Army and knew he would have to go somewhere.

:07:36. > :07:50.It was very short. Much focuses on the dead. With many thousands more

:07:51. > :07:56.were injured. Bearing the scars to this day, physical and mental. Billy

:07:57. > :08:02.McClelland has battled with depression and alcohol. A product of

:08:03. > :08:06.post-traumatic stress disorder. We resented to do our job. As a soldier

:08:07. > :08:10.you do the job. When you find that it could be through lies or not the

:08:11. > :08:15.full truth, you get quite angry about that. The inadequacy of the

:08:16. > :08:19.kit, the equipment, is also criticised by Chilcot.

:08:20. > :08:25.Lance-Corporal Iain McMenemy was provided with the wrong uniform.

:08:26. > :08:28.Jungle greens instead of sandy desert. What he is wearing here was

:08:29. > :08:35.not provided by the army but by his wife. Within days she had found the

:08:36. > :08:41.kit, centred out to me, and the military post had found me behind

:08:42. > :08:43.some rocking Iraq. I remember remarking at the time if she could

:08:44. > :08:51.do what the British government and the British Army could not do,

:08:52. > :08:54.source the kit and get it to me in Iraq. Brad Singleton poignant

:08:55. > :09:00.reminder of the Iraq conflict is in Glenrothes. As a postwar Newtown it

:09:01. > :09:05.had no dead. But when Marc ferns and Scott McArdle were killed in 2004,

:09:06. > :09:09.that changed. This memorial, forever a reminder of those and the other

:09:10. > :09:14.lives so tragically taken so far away.

:09:15. > :09:22.Let's get some analysis from our political editor, Brian Taylor.

:09:23. > :09:24.Brian, this report, this weighty report, has answered some questions

:09:25. > :09:30.Brian, this report, this weighty but it has also asked many? I think

:09:31. > :09:36.that is inevitably the case, Jackie. Let's try. Will there now be

:09:37. > :09:41.political or legal action against individuals? Perhaps against Tony

:09:42. > :09:44.Blair. You heard Alex Salmond say he believes Mr Blair is culpable and

:09:45. > :09:50.that must be examined. The lawyers for the families has said he will

:09:51. > :09:53.look at that, body wants time to consider in detail the contents of

:09:54. > :09:58.look at that, body wants time to the report. -- but he wants time.

:09:59. > :10:04.Secondly, the issue of lessons learned. The need to work closely

:10:05. > :10:09.with the intelligence services, the need to prepare and plan better.

:10:10. > :10:13.Those problems have been identified. Those questions have been asked.

:10:14. > :10:17.Will they be thoroughly absorbed into the political and military

:10:18. > :10:22.systems? The Cabinet says they already have been in terms of the

:10:23. > :10:26.National Security Council. But he also says Britain must not -- must

:10:27. > :10:32.not lose its strategic objective of working closely with the US. Of,

:10:33. > :10:42.where necessary, intervening globally with military force. Would

:10:43. > :10:45.those strategic priorities again tromp the questions raised by the

:10:46. > :10:50.Chilcot Report? A hypothetical question. Tony Blair adamant he did

:10:51. > :10:54.not lie, he did not deceive. He says the report bears that out. Imagine

:10:55. > :11:01.he was still in office today, on this day the report was delivered,

:11:02. > :11:03.could he have stayed in the tenure of Downing Street in the face of

:11:04. > :11:06.this coruscating report? Still to come on tonight's

:11:07. > :11:07.Reporting Scotland: We find out about the thousand tonne

:11:08. > :11:10.digger called Daisy which has started boring a hole in Glasgow

:11:11. > :11:14.to improve the city's water. And in sport, Andy Murray is eyeing

:11:15. > :11:18.the Wimbledon semi-finals. Don't go anywhere -

:11:19. > :11:22.we'll cross to the All England Club A mother and her civil partner have

:11:23. > :11:31.been jailed for life for the murder Rachel and Nyomi Fee

:11:32. > :11:36.were sentenced to a minimum of 23 and a half years,

:11:37. > :11:53.and 24 years, respectively. Behind Liam Fee bus short life, a

:11:54. > :12:00.story of horrific cruelty. As Rachel and Nyomi Fee three were sentenced,

:12:01. > :12:06.the scale of violence against him from the people who loved him was

:12:07. > :12:13.outlined. You grossly abused those responsibilities and subjected him

:12:14. > :12:18.to a cruel and piteous regime. -- pitiless. Neither woman showed any

:12:19. > :12:23.motion as the judge ordered them to serve 24 and 23 and a half years

:12:24. > :12:31.before they apply for parole. But outside, Liam's father was

:12:32. > :12:34.emotional. Relieved. Rachel, on the left, and Nyomi Fee subjectively

:12:35. > :12:38.into a sustained campaign of cruelty. The blow that killed him,

:12:39. > :12:43.so severe it ruptured his heart. He spent the last few days of his life

:12:44. > :12:50.with a broken leg and arm. It would have been agony. Instead of helping

:12:51. > :12:53.him, the couple searched on their phone, can lesbians who live

:12:54. > :12:57.together go to jail together? They abused two the boys mentally and

:12:58. > :13:06.physically. One they tried to blame for Liam's death. Says friendship

:13:07. > :13:11.forever. Gillian McCusker believed she was one of their closest

:13:12. > :13:17.friends. They are still going to get everything paid for them, everything

:13:18. > :13:19.in everyday life. It is not fair. Whenever they come out, they will

:13:20. > :13:25.still have their own life to lead. And little Liam, where is he due

:13:26. > :13:36.macro nowhere. He has not got a life. I still can't take it. Sorry.

:13:37. > :13:39.In the Fife community where Liam lived, reams of coloured ribbons

:13:40. > :13:45.make up a memorial wall in his name. A service will take place at the

:13:46. > :13:51.local church tonight. Everybody is still in shock, they are still

:13:52. > :13:59.thinking, how? How did we never suss out why and how they did this to the

:14:00. > :14:04.child? Everybody knows them and everybody liked them. So everybody

:14:05. > :14:10.is shocked. I'm trying to raise enough money to get a park bench in

:14:11. > :14:15.the park. Why is that important? So we can have a memory of Liam. The

:14:16. > :14:19.community is moving on but there are still unanswered questions. Why did

:14:20. > :14:23.Liam drop off the social work read? Fife Council would not comment while

:14:24. > :14:28.a significant case review is under way. But a local councillor says it

:14:29. > :14:32.must be thorough. We want to know the answers and we want to know how

:14:33. > :14:36.something like this can be prevented in future so no other young boys

:14:37. > :14:41.like Liam Fee can suffer and not be protected in this way. From the

:14:42. > :14:45.start, Rachel and Nyomi Fee were in this together, the murder, the

:14:46. > :14:49.abuse, the cover-up. But after sentencing, they will be taken to

:14:50. > :14:51.separate prisons and spend the next 20 years of their life apart.

:14:52. > :14:54.Talks have broken up in a bid to end the ScotRail dispute,

:14:55. > :14:57.The RMT union met Abellio ScotRail management

:14:58. > :15:00.for an hour earlier, in the row over plans to change

:15:01. > :15:04.The RMT is planning further strike action, with a 48 hour stoppage

:15:05. > :15:11.A five-year-old girl has died after the car

:15:12. > :15:14.she was in was involved in a crash with another car in

:15:15. > :15:18.Niree Johnstone, who was from the Paisley area,

:15:19. > :15:20.was in the back seat of a Vauxhall Corsa

:15:21. > :15:22.with a three-year-old boy when it collided with a BMW.

:15:23. > :15:24.She was taken to hospital, where she passed away.

:15:25. > :15:27.The boy was uninjured, while the driver of the Corsa is in

:15:28. > :15:31.The Foreign Office minister, David Lidington, has cast doubt

:15:32. > :15:34.on the possibility of Scotland remaining in the EU

:15:35. > :15:38.But the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has said it

:15:39. > :15:41.would be "premature" to rule out any options.

:15:42. > :15:59.If the UK's out, can Scotland stay in the EU? Yes, we can. The Scottish

:16:00. > :16:05.Government certainly seems to think so that the UK's Minister for Europe

:16:06. > :16:10.is not so sure. David Lidington, is the way Scotland can remain in the

:16:11. > :16:14.EU in the UK is coming out? The legal position is very clear, you

:16:15. > :16:18.have to leave the EU before you can apply to be the member. The Spanish

:16:19. > :16:25.government has made it very clear they don't see this as a prospect. I

:16:26. > :16:28.think the important thing today is the Scottish Government works really

:16:29. > :16:32.closely with the UK Government as Prime Minister Kamran has invited

:16:33. > :16:36.them to do, to get the very best possible deal for Scotland, all its

:16:37. > :16:43.people, and the people of the UK in the forthcoming delegations. That

:16:44. > :16:47.will be a relationship with the EU outside of the EU? Yes, that's what

:16:48. > :16:51.the people voted for. He was speaking before meeting the

:16:52. > :16:54.Edinburgh consular Corps having already held talks with the Scottish

:16:55. > :17:00.Government. The Europe minister seems to be trying to close down the

:17:01. > :17:05.range of options that might allow Scotland to retain its relationship

:17:06. > :17:08.with the European Union but the First Minister remains hopeful, a

:17:09. > :17:13.special arrangement can be found. For anybody at this stage to rule

:17:14. > :17:16.out those options before this process is properly got underway I

:17:17. > :17:21.think is seriously premature. I've also said there will be serious

:17:22. > :17:27.challenges ahead for us trying to achieve the outcome which makes it

:17:28. > :17:31.all the more important our lines are open to every possible option. The

:17:32. > :17:36.First Minister met EU consuls general on Tuesday after which one

:17:37. > :17:41.was particularly outspoken. Do you support independence for Scotland? I

:17:42. > :17:48.had to stay impartial. Between me and you, I do. Today his boss took a

:17:49. > :17:56.more diplomatic line on Scotland's future. We are very much respectful

:17:57. > :18:01.of the decision of the people in the UK and in Scotland, so it will

:18:02. > :18:03.depend on the people of Scotland. The First Minister is keeping open

:18:04. > :18:07.the possibility of calling a second independence referendum if no other

:18:08. > :18:11.way can be found to keep Scotland EU links.

:18:12. > :18:13.I believe a tennis match is under way.

:18:14. > :18:21.Backers speak you might just be right, Jackie.

:18:22. > :18:23.It's men's quarterfinal day at Wimbledon and already

:18:24. > :18:25.through to the semis are Roger Federer and Milos Raonic.

:18:26. > :18:27.Second seed Andy Murray is chasing his second title

:18:28. > :18:30.at SW19 and he's in action against Jo Wilfried Tsonga as we speak.

:18:31. > :18:35.Chris McLaughlin has the story of the match so far.

:18:36. > :18:41.The world number two, the most British of tournaments, always a

:18:42. > :18:48.Scottish general. Andy Murray draws a crowd, some faces more famous than

:18:49. > :18:55.others. But would centre court be happy? Early on, they were certainly

:18:56. > :19:03.entertained. An unbelievable lob. Could this game looked like a Dame

:19:04. > :19:15.Edna carry off? Jo-Wilfried Tsonga broke straight back. -- Nick Kyrie.

:19:16. > :19:20.And, following a blistering open set battle, and a titanic tie-break,

:19:21. > :19:33.Murray took first blood. After surviving his first set there,

:19:34. > :19:41.he settled into his stride and then some. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, looking

:19:42. > :19:48.frustrated farmers tie-break defeat, were simply dismantled in the second

:19:49. > :19:49.set. 6-1 in just 26 minutes and Murray showing exactly why he is the

:19:50. > :19:51.favourite to take the title. Let's cross to the All England club

:19:52. > :19:54.and join our reporter If he gets through who will

:19:55. > :20:09.he face in the semifinals? It's looking pretty good for Andy

:20:10. > :20:12.Murray although a little bird tells me he's just been broken in the

:20:13. > :20:17.third set so Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is now 3-1 up in set three but Andy

:20:18. > :20:23.Murray hazard quotients of a two set lead. If he's to retrieve that in

:20:24. > :20:27.the third or fourth or fifth, its Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic

:20:28. > :20:31.on Friday in the semifinals. He is the world number nine but the good

:20:32. > :20:36.news is, Andy Murray has not lost on him since 2013 and he has won the

:20:37. > :20:39.last four times I have played, so hopefully a good day for Andy

:20:40. > :20:44.Murray. It's looking good for him on Centre Court. Heartbreak for his

:20:45. > :20:49.brother, Jamie, who lost a five set doubles match. It was 10-8 in the

:20:50. > :20:54.fifth set. He won a 16-14 yesterday but today was too much. He lost to a

:20:55. > :20:57.French pair. Jamie Murray, heartbreak for him, out of the

:20:58. > :20:59.doubles but Andy Murray is looking good for a place in the semifinal of

:21:00. > :21:02.the singles on Friday. Thank you. On the eve of the golf's

:21:03. > :21:04.Scottish Open at Castle Stuart, one of the tournament's biggest

:21:05. > :21:07.stars says he might stop Five-time major champion

:21:08. > :21:10.Phil Mickelson has been a regular at the event and won it in 2013,

:21:11. > :21:13.but feels the policy of moving the tournament around the country

:21:14. > :21:30.isn't ideal preparation On the eve of the Scottish open, we

:21:31. > :21:34.have the Pro-Am, mixing those who can play, those who want to play and

:21:35. > :21:42.those who, well, want to make a fashion statement. Phil Mickelson

:21:43. > :21:45.needs no introduction but the former winner may stop coming regularly as

:21:46. > :21:49.the Scottish open continues to move around the country. Could this be

:21:50. > :21:54.the last time we see you in the event? I doubt it will be the last

:21:55. > :21:58.time that I play but I don't know if it will be an every year occurrence.

:21:59. > :22:02.After playing Castle Stuart three times, the third time I could learn

:22:03. > :22:06.the golf course and play it effectively and ultimately it takes

:22:07. > :22:10.a while to understand the nuances of a course, there's so many of them.

:22:11. > :22:13.Colin Montgomerie is also making plans for the future. He recently

:22:14. > :22:19.qualified for next weeks Open Championship. Belief more than
