:00:25. > :00:31.Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Reevel Alderson reports.
:00:32. > :00:33.It's just four short months until the independent inquiry
:00:34. > :00:36.into the abuse of children in care held its first session
:00:37. > :00:45.This inquiry is not just for survivors of abuse in the past,
:00:46. > :00:54.it is also for some Scottish children yet to be born.
:00:55. > :00:56.Yet earlier this month the chair resigned, leaving
:00:57. > :01:00.Now in place of Ms O'Brien, one of the most senior
:01:01. > :01:04.High Court judges in Scotland, Lady Anne Smith.
:01:05. > :01:09.Survivor groups welcomed the speed of the appointment yet have
:01:10. > :01:10.criticised the government for failing to consult
:01:11. > :01:12.them and have demanded that the Education Secretary widens
:01:13. > :01:22.We're a bit surprised, while we are pleased
:01:23. > :01:27.that he hasn't able to indicate today that he is prepared to extend
:01:28. > :01:29.remit and include a recommendation about redress in the inquiry.
:01:30. > :01:33.Now we are seeking an urgent meeting with him with a view to resolving
:01:34. > :01:41.not only this issue but a number of others as well.
:01:42. > :01:43.Allegations of systematic abuse at the former school
:01:44. > :01:48.run by the Benedictine order will be a part of the inquiry

:02:09. > :02:12.This means the group, White Flowers Alba, is eligible
:02:13. > :02:18.for redress, something it has pressed the government to offer
:02:19. > :02:20.but so far ministers have resisted changing the remit.
:02:21. > :02:24.I want to discuss that further with survivors groups and with
:02:25. > :02:26.Lady Smith following her appointment.
:02:27. > :02:29.These issues are under active consideration to make sure
:02:30. > :02:32.we have an inquiry that can properly and fully address the issues
:02:33. > :02:35.of concern, to summarise the awful experiences of individuals
:02:36. > :02:40.and we can do that task properly on their behalf.
:02:41. > :02:42.The government insists the inquiry will continue to operate
:02:43. > :02:44.independently with no assistance from ministers.
:02:45. > :02:53.Figures the BBC has obtained show that, in the last three years,
:02:54. > :02:55.the amount of money healthboards have spent on overtime payments
:02:56. > :02:57.to consultants has increased by almost 50% -
:02:58. > :03:04.Doctors argue it's due to a lack of full time staff.
:03:05. > :03:09.The Scottish Government says it's a very small portion
:03:10. > :03:21.These figures have come from a UK wide Freedom Of Information request
:03:22. > :03:26.by the BBC. Three years ago, the bill for consultants over time was
:03:27. > :03:31.14.27 million. That had risen to nearly 21 million muster. This is
:03:32. > :03:37.over time, so money consultants are in for extra shifts, often at the
:03:38. > :03:47.weekend or evening. One consultant earns an extra ?135,000 last year.
:03:48. > :03:51.-- 135 820. They said that this was to meet targets at of pressure due
:03:52. > :03:56.to staff vacancies. They say there's something not enough staff to cope
:03:57. > :04:00.cope with growing pressures on our hospitals in Scotland. We need
:04:01. > :04:06.long-term solutions that create a sustainable NHS. Summary issues
:04:07. > :04:09.faced deal with sticking plaster solutions are temporary solutions
:04:10. > :04:12.that don't solve the problems. They may patch and meant for the short
:04:13. > :04:17.term, but we need to think about not just the next five years but the
:04:18. > :04:21.next 45 years. Three years ago, NHS Grampian said they spent nothing at
:04:22. > :04:26.all for overtime for consultants, but Laster be spent more than ?1.5
:04:27. > :04:35.billion. They say that spend is due to a lack of staff, particularly at
:04:36. > :04:41.busy periods. -- million. They have said that the overtime bill could be
:04:42. > :04:44.dramatically reduced if the right number of consultants could be
:04:45. > :04:52.recorded. The latest figures show we are 162 short. In the meantime,
:04:53. > :04:56.here's a suggestion. We have to sink a bit more sensibly and carefully
:04:57. > :05:01.about simplistic targets for rating times alone. -- think. It's
:05:02. > :05:05.important, both from the doctor and patient perspective, that we are
:05:06. > :05:08.concentrating on the quality of care, that we're actually making
:05:09. > :05:12.sure that the outcomes for patients, whether the operation is successful
:05:13. > :05:15.or not, is what we are measuring rather than sticking solely to
:05:16. > :05:18.counting the easy thing, which is how long it took to have the
:05:19. > :05:22.operation in the first place. The Scottish Government said the
:05:23. > :05:26.overtime bill in context is a tiny percentage of what it spends on
:05:27. > :05:30.consultants and the number of consultants have got up by 40% of
:05:31. > :05:33.the last ten years. Trading places are being increased, as well. The
:05:34. > :05:38.Health Secretary takes on board there may be better ways of
:05:39. > :05:42.prioritising care. Patients want to be seen as quickly as possible so
:05:43. > :05:47.that remains important, however measuring outcomes is also
:05:48. > :05:51.important, that perhaps some of their waiting time targets are a bit
:05:52. > :05:54.of a blunt instrument and we want to listen to the professions and we
:05:55. > :05:58.want to listen to patient groups about how we can perhaps focus more
:05:59. > :06:01.on the outcomes for patients, but we need to see what the group comes up
:06:02. > :06:06.with or what recommendations they need to make. The best way to
:06:07. > :06:12.achieve that balance of delivering quality care but in an acceptable
:06:13. > :06:13.time, at a reasonable price, is what it seems to be very much up for
:06:14. > :06:15.discussion now. Independence supporters have LOST
:06:16. > :06:18.a legal fight to remain camped A judge has ruled that
:06:19. > :06:22.the the group can be evicted. Here's our political
:06:23. > :06:32.correspondent, Glenn Campbell. Parliament welcomes protesters,
:06:33. > :06:38.but not this eight month long occupation by supporters
:06:39. > :06:40.of Scottish independence. It took these so-called IndyCampers
:06:41. > :06:53.to court in what became one of the weirdest of cases.
:06:54. > :06:55.There are unusual arguments heard in the case, the campers made the
:06:56. > :06:58.declaration of Arbroath and tried to call the Queen
:06:59. > :07:00.as a witness and actually claimed that Christ had returned to Earth
:07:01. > :07:03.and was backing Scottish independence.
:07:04. > :07:05.Yet at the end of the day the case was based on serious law,
:07:06. > :07:08.human rights, whether the group at the right to stay
:07:09. > :07:10.here and the right to freedom of assembly.
:07:11. > :07:12.In a written statement Lord Turnbull has turned in favour of Parliament
:07:13. > :07:16.and against the IndyCampers, whose position, he says,
:07:17. > :07:20.is selfish or arrogant in that they seemed to assert that their right to
:07:21. > :07:23.use this space is greater than the rights of others.
:07:24. > :07:25.Lord Turnbull said it would not be disproportionate for Parliament
:07:26. > :07:30.to seek the removal of this independence vigil.
:07:31. > :07:40.I think it's shocking. Basically it has walked all over
:07:41. > :07:42.human rights in Scotland. Hopefully we have the right
:07:43. > :07:44.to appeal and stay during the appeal because the vigil
:07:45. > :07:47.is a good thing. We are not a bad thing,
:07:48. > :07:50.we've never had any reported incidents to the police.
:07:51. > :07:54.There's been no drink, no drugs, we are known as middle aged teacher
:07:55. > :08:02.linkers. -- tea drinkers. Parliament officials welcomed
:08:03. > :08:04.the judgment and hoped to persuade them to leave peacefully.
:08:05. > :08:06.We have to have those conversations with them,
:08:07. > :08:09.clearly Lord Turnbull has said the onus is on them to remove
:08:10. > :08:11.themselves, if they don't we will seek to remove them.
:08:12. > :08:16.After 244 days of occupation, today's judgment should mean
:08:17. > :08:19.that the days of IndyCamp are numbered yet the campaign hope
:08:20. > :08:20.that they can still stay put until Scotland becomes
:08:21. > :08:25.an independent country. ?110 million is being invested

:09:55. > :09:58.this shot. But Astana were quick on the break
:09:59. > :10:02.and Mikael Lustig had to be alert to deal with this cross.

:10:26. > :10:29.early in the second half, a striker clipping the crossbar.
:10:30. > :10:33.But 12 minutes from the end, Celtic got the equaliser,

:11:10. > :11:22.outlook for tonight and tomorrow. Thank you, good evening. It's been
:11:23. > :11:27.quite a fine end to the evening for many of us, late spells of sunshine.
:11:28. > :11:30.This lovely picture was sent in from one of our brother watchers. We will
:11:31. > :11:33.continue to seek mostly dry conditions, with clear spells
:11:34. > :11:38.developing. One or two scattered showers up over the hills and across
:11:39. > :11:41.the far northwest, the Northern Isles, cloudy with outbreaks of
:11:42. > :11:45.rain. You can see from the map, cloud thickening coming from the
:11:46. > :11:48.southwest as we end the night. Temperatures holding onto double
:11:49. > :11:52.figures for towns and cities, but under the clear spells for rural
:11:53. > :11:56.areas, down to six or 7 degrees, making it quite a cool start here.
:11:57. > :11:59.As we head through the course in the morning, the rain continuing to push
:12:00. > :12:02.in the rain continuing to push and across Dumfries Galloway. It will
:12:03. > :12:06.gradually spread eastwards as we had through the day. Holding onto drier
:12:07. > :12:09.weather across the Lothians and we will see some brighter spells across
:12:10. > :12:13.Tayside and interpret each or through the course of the morning.
:12:14. > :12:16.Still cloudy am afraid across the northwest, and for the Northern
:12:17. > :12:22.Isles and the winds of victory zero here, come in from the West. A wider
:12:23. > :12:25.look at the rest the UK, the rain progressing eastwards across most of
:12:26. > :12:29.the country, north of the central belt. Further towards the north of
:12:30. > :12:40.Scotland, we will see some brighter spells. Double figures, up to 20
:12:41. > :12:45.here, the 13 or 14 here, disappointing. Further towards the
:12:46. > :12:47.south of England holding 20-22dC. This weather system will clear away
:12:48. > :12:51.south-eastwards as we head through tomorrow night and we will start to
:12:52. > :12:56.see the winds turning more northwesterly, drying and fresher
:12:57. > :12:59.air, so for Friday it looks as if it will be quite fresh with some
:13:00. > :13:02.showers around across the Northwest, drier and brighter elsewhere but
:13:03. > :13:06.some sunshine but by the afternoon though showers will become more
:13:07. > :13:11.widespread, there will be some decent sunny spells around the
:13:12. > :13:16.sheriffs, temperatures holding on maybe 17-19dC. For the weekend, a
:13:17. > :13:19.very similar story, sunny spells, feeling fresher. After forecast for
:13:20. > :13:20.very similar story, sunny spells, now. Thank you very much.
:13:21. > :13:22.That's all from Reporting Scotland tonight.
:13:23. > :13:24.There are bulletins from 6:25 tomorrow morning, during Breakfast.
