:01:08. > :01:20.for a full forecast. Thousands of children in Edinburgh
:01:21. > :01:24.are preparing to return to school buildings deemed unsafe
:01:25. > :01:27.following the collapse of a wall While they are now fixed,
:01:28. > :01:34.a BBC Scotland investigation has found at least 30 schools
:01:35. > :01:36.across the country have had Fiona Walker has been
:01:37. > :01:53.meeting families affected. We were getting ready for school one
:01:54. > :01:57.morning and we have the radio on. They got a text saying there had
:01:58. > :02:00.been school damage and the school had been close. I thought I would
:02:01. > :02:05.pass and see what was happening. I stopped the car in the middle of the
:02:06. > :02:10.road, I was so shocked. This is why. This pile of rubble weighs more than
:02:11. > :02:14.a turn and lies in the exact spot where Julia stands with her son
:02:15. > :02:17.waiting for the school day to start. If it had happened during the day it
:02:18. > :02:22.would have been a number of fatalities. You actually try not to
:02:23. > :02:29.think about it because it is such a horrible thought. Parents were told
:02:30. > :02:33.wall ties, like these sticking out, were defective. They hold the wall
:02:34. > :02:39.together and connect them to the rest of the building. It turned out
:02:40. > :02:43.all 17 schools built under the same private finance deal in Edinburgh
:02:44. > :02:47.had some of these faults, so they were too dangerous to occupy. The
:02:48. > :02:51.last of the repairs have now been finished in time for the school
:02:52. > :02:56.going back after the holiday. But it wasn't just in Edinburgh. These are
:02:57. > :03:02.pictures we have not seen before of inside the cavity walls at a school
:03:03. > :03:09.in East Renfrewshire. We asked an expert what he thought of them. I'm
:03:10. > :03:13.shocked. More than shocked. I would suggest it is not only contravening
:03:14. > :03:18.standard practice, in my view this is malpractice. I would suggest some
:03:19. > :03:23.of these things are very worrying indeed. A wall built like this, is
:03:24. > :03:29.of these things are very worrying it safe? Is it safe? Well, no is the
:03:30. > :03:32.of these things are very worrying answer. BBC Scotland has discovered
:03:33. > :03:37.at least 30 schools across the country have had wall or header tie
:03:38. > :03:41.defects that have had to be fixed over the last five years. 17 in
:03:42. > :03:46.Edinburgh that we already know about. There are eight more schools
:03:47. > :03:49.in South Lanarkshire had to install additional wall ties to ensure that
:03:50. > :03:56.the outside wall was attached properly. At five more schools, the
:03:57. > :03:59.impact was far greater. An investigation into the Edinburgh
:04:00. > :04:05.schools will officially start tomorrow. The Council there says the
:04:06. > :04:10.defects may not just be in schools, they are checking every public
:04:11. > :04:13.building built the same way. It might be that this is a national
:04:14. > :04:18.issue that has to be tackled in terms of how you supervise the works
:04:19. > :04:23.going on, how they are undertaken. We have just tried to make sure that
:04:24. > :04:29.Edinburgh schools are safe right now. However, it depends on what the
:04:30. > :04:34.inquiry says. For now, children in Edinburgh have been reinsurer they
:04:35. > :04:35.can go back to school. They believe that their walls are surely the
:04:36. > :04:38.safest in the country. And Fiona joins us now from outside
:04:39. > :04:50.Oxgangs Primary in Edinburgh That's right. They will queue up
:04:51. > :04:54.right outside this wall as they have always done. And this is the wall
:04:55. > :04:59.that collapsed. Very little evidence that it was a pile of rubble six and
:05:00. > :05:06.a half months ago. Of course, what we can not see is what is behind the
:05:07. > :05:11.bricks. That is extra steelwork and ties that we have been assured make
:05:12. > :05:16.the building safe. Of course, this story has raised so many questions,
:05:17. > :05:18.not least of which is how on earth could all of these schools have been
:05:19. > :05:23.built in a way that has left the could all of these schools have been
:05:24. > :05:27.walls defective and potentially unsafe? That is a question that we
:05:28. > :05:32.hope to shed light on in a documentary next Monday at 7pm on

:05:46. > :06:03.Thank you very much. Quiet at the minute, but it is gearing up for the
:06:04. > :06:08.evening sessions. We have already had some action with Scottish
:06:09. > :06:13.interests, and we will look ahead to a couple of really big races from
:06:14. > :06:17.Scottish athletes competing for Team GB out here in Rio. Let me bring you
:06:18. > :06:21.more on the disappointing news that he talked about from a Scottish
:06:22. > :06:26.cycling point of view. In the velodrome earlier this afternoon,
:06:27. > :06:31.Callum Skinner was disqualified in the keirin. He had been given
:06:32. > :06:33.another chance to make the semifinal of the keirin, but he was
:06:34. > :06:40.discoloured fight for almost colliding with the American rider.
:06:41. > :06:45.He has since apologised and says his disqualification was correct. I'm
:06:46. > :06:51.sorry for cutting up the American. It is just one of these things that
:06:52. > :06:56.happens. You could have no argument, it was quite clear? I kind of knew
:06:57. > :07:08.myself, when I saw the replays, it was a fair decision. He does go home
:07:09. > :07:12.with two Olympic medals, so it is not that bad. To the athletics, what
:07:13. > :07:23.about the athletics from earlier today? Good news for Ilicevic or
:07:24. > :07:26.them. She qualified and brilliant news for her. She has been plagued
:07:27. > :07:32.with injuries over the last couple of years. Booking the automatic
:07:33. > :07:38.place in the final. Her fellow Scots competing for Team GB in the same
:07:39. > :07:43.event failed to qualify. But McColgan was relieved to get to the
:07:44. > :07:48.final. I'm over the moon, there were a couple of times when I thought I
:07:49. > :07:52.was going to go down. A lot of people were falling. I just stuck
:07:53. > :08:02.in. I wanted it so badly. It was difficult to describe. Brilliant
:08:03. > :08:06.news. Also good news for Scottish athlete Chris O'Hare, he is through
:08:07. > :08:11.to the semifinals of the 1500 metres. Also doing well in his heats
:08:12. > :08:13.to book his place in the semifinals. He qualified in fourth place and are
:08:14. > :08:25.safely through. More on the action from the Olympic
:08:26. > :08:27.Stadium in a minute. Away from the athletes and the sport, another
:08:28. > :08:37.group of people running in Rio, helping to make sure the games are a
:08:38. > :08:44.success. Hello and welcome to the 2016 Rio Olympics! They have added
:08:45. > :08:51.colour and noise to these Olympics. But the volunteers play a vital
:08:52. > :08:56.role. While the majority are from Brazil, others have come from
:08:57. > :09:02.further afield. Hello! Having a good day? Where are you off to? I did the
:09:03. > :09:09.Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014. Obviously I got the bug from
:09:10. > :09:13.that. I was on the Facebook groups. Somebody posted and said that the
:09:14. > :09:17.applications for Rio are open. I thought, why not? It has been
:09:18. > :09:22.fantastic. It has probably exceeded my expectations. All I have seen
:09:23. > :09:31.before was quite negative stuff, not much positivity. But I have loved
:09:32. > :09:41.every minute. I hope we can do that again tomorrow. This Scott is a
:09:42. > :09:45.volunteer veteran. It's a big commitment, I have a full-time job,
:09:46. > :09:49.family back home. They have put up with me going abroad for three weeks
:09:50. > :09:53.to do this. There are lots of skills that you get, and you meet people
:09:54. > :09:57.from all over the world. You integrate with other cultures and
:09:58. > :10:01.people from other countries. It has been a very positive experience for
:10:02. > :10:08.me. The games themselves, they have been fabulous. The volunteers have
:10:09. > :10:22.played their part, on hand day and night to assist. And to entertain.
:10:23. > :10:31.They are a noisy bunch, but they are doing a great job. Amy Doyle does in
:10:32. > :10:38.the semifinal of the 400 metres hurdles later on. That is around
:10:39. > :10:43.1:10 in the morning. She won her heat yesterday and is eyeing a place
:10:44. > :10:48.in the final. After she runs, all of the focus will be on Laura Muir. She
:10:49. > :10:54.is already in the final of the 1500 metres, she runs in that this
:10:55. > :10:59.evening. The final is taking place at 2:30am. After breaking the
:11:00. > :11:06.British record in the 1500, she is in good form and hoping for a medal.
:11:07. > :11:12.It has been a long time coming since a Scottish athlete won and
:11:13. > :11:16.individual medal at the games. Liz McColgan and Yvonne Murray get it
:11:17. > :11:19.back in 1998. We are keeping our fingers crossed for Laura Muir. She
:11:20. > :11:25.goes in the final of the 1500 metres. Go for a nap, make sure you
:11:26. > :11:29.set your alarm clock, it could be a cracker.
:11:30. > :11:31.As speculation continues about the future of Kinloss
:11:32. > :11:34.army barracks in Moray, it's emerged the Ministry of Defence
:11:35. > :11:36.has had confidential talks with senior officials at Moray
:11:37. > :11:41.The MoD is currently reviewing its property assets
:11:42. > :11:45.to try to save money and the local SNP MP Angus Robertson says he's
:11:46. > :11:47.heard this could result in the closure of Kinloss.
:11:48. > :11:54.But the MoD says no decisions have been taken.
:11:55. > :11:56.Pressure is growing on Aberdeen City Council to publish
:11:57. > :12:00.a secret report into the handling of the baby ashes scandal.
:12:01. > :12:04.As we revealed yesterday, councillors are preparing to discuss
:12:05. > :12:08.the authority's official response into practices at Hazelhead
:12:09. > :12:13.Crematorium where babies were cremated with unrelated adults.
:12:14. > :12:17.But a second external report about senior management
:12:18. > :12:23.isn't being published, as Kevin Keane reports.
:12:24. > :12:31.It is a report that was much anticipated, Aberdeen City Council's
:12:32. > :12:35.response to the devious practices at its crematorium. But the briefing
:12:36. > :12:40.contains little about who knew what, when. Instead, this is in a secret
:12:41. > :12:45.report, seen by few, but said to be damning of those at the top. This
:12:46. > :12:50.bereaved father is calling for the report to be published in full by
:12:51. > :12:54.the chief executive, Angela Scott. His son died from cot death after
:12:55. > :12:57.just a month and he says the council's handling of the issue has
:12:58. > :13:02.added to his grief. We were promised honesty and transparency from the
:13:03. > :13:06.Council, by Angela Scott herself. There is an opportunity to confirm
:13:07. > :13:10.this honesty and transparency, and she seems to want to avoid it. I
:13:11. > :13:13.think that detail needs to come out. You can omit the names and you can
:13:14. > :13:21.still put the details after of what went on at Hazelhead Crematorium.
:13:22. > :13:26.The report focuses on what senior officials did or did not do. This
:13:27. > :13:31.man has come in for criticism after a ferry to slow cooking babies. He
:13:32. > :13:33.remains in post as director of communities, housing and
:13:34. > :13:37.infrastructure. The main report provides a detailed response to each
:13:38. > :13:44.of the criticisms levelled at the crematorium. None of that point
:13:45. > :13:54.addresses the precise question of who was to blame. The chief
:13:55. > :14:00.executive told me accountability is happening, but it needs to be kept
:14:01. > :14:04.private. The practices consistent with the legal framework and the
:14:05. > :14:07.standards that the people of Aberdeen have the right to expect,
:14:08. > :14:11.and I will continue to follow the process I need to do in terms of
:14:12. > :14:14.holding stuff to account. Can you guarantee at the end of the process
:14:15. > :14:19.that all of the information in this report will be out there? What I am
:14:20. > :14:23.focused on is I am in a life process. I will not say anything
:14:24. > :14:27.publicly that will compromise that life process. On the conclusion of
:14:28. > :14:33.that, I will seek further advice around what I can or cannot do. For
:14:34. > :14:38.now, the damning report into what happened that the most senior level
:14:39. > :14:41.will remain secret. But pressure to publish is growing. As much of that
:14:42. > :14:44.as possible, you have to get to the public. To give the public
:14:45. > :14:47.confidence and families confidence that something is happening, it
:14:48. > :14:52.should go into the public domain. I think I have supported right across
:14:53. > :14:59.the council chamber. Tomorrow, councillors will discuss the main
:15:00. > :15:02.report in this chamber. On a second report is presented, the doors will
:15:03. > :15:05.close to the public and it will remain secret. -- when the second
:15:06. > :15:14.report is published. People from other European Union
:15:15. > :15:16.countries who live in Scotland will meet Nicola Sturgeon tomorrow
:15:17. > :15:18.to discuss Brexit. The First Minister wants to reassure
:15:19. > :15:21.EU citizens they're still welcome here, despite the UK-wide
:15:22. > :15:23.vote to leave. But our political correspondent,
:15:24. > :15:25.Glenn Campbell, has been meeting one German couple who have
:15:26. > :15:35.decided not to stay. We are in the warehouse where we
:15:36. > :15:40.store the goods. When Thomas Western came to live and work in Kirkcaldy,
:15:41. > :15:43.it was supposed to be his last move. We have a stock of electrical
:15:44. > :15:47.it was supposed to be his last move. if any of them goes faulty, we
:15:48. > :15:52.replace them on behalf of retailers. He and his wife relocated from
:15:53. > :15:58.Ireland. We love this country, we wanted to be here. We bought a house
:15:59. > :16:06.to grow old. But the EU referendum has changed everything. The decision
:16:07. > :16:15.to leave Europe was a decision that meant, for us, we had to leave, sell
:16:16. > :16:22.the house and use the assets to reinvent ourselves. How do you feel
:16:23. > :16:33.about that? We have a future here. We had dreams. I need a new dream.
:16:34. > :16:35.Thomas is married to an artist who, like him, no longer feels welcome in
:16:36. > :16:50.the UK. I cannot see myself living in a
:16:51. > :16:55.country where I have to apply for a working permit and visa every time I
:16:56. > :17:00.want it live in my own house. They have decided not to wait and see if
:17:01. > :17:05.post-Brexit Britain makes them a better offer. What will you miss
:17:06. > :17:08.most about living here? . My flends. My friends. What do they say to you,
:17:09. > :17:12.when you tell them you have My friends. What do they say to you,
:17:13. > :17:22.to go. Stay. Sorry, we have to stop here. The Westons are among 173,000
:17:23. > :17:27.EU nationals living here in Scotland. The First Minister, Nicola
:17:28. > :17:33.Sturegon, is trying to persuade as many as possible to remain. But the
:17:34. > :17:39.Westons have made up their minds. To pack up and leave these shores, to

:19:28. > :19:31.Over the past 25 years, some ?1 billion of European development
:19:32. > :19:34.money has been invested in the Highland and Islands. It's affected

:20:05. > :20:10.and partners for an Inverness city deal ina the UK Government is
:20:11. > :20:14.putting in 53 million. Without some special deal, or independence for

:22:44. > :22:44.than. It's one of her most
:22:45. > :22:46.personal projects to date. National poet Jackie Kay has written
:22:47. > :22:49.a poem for her grandfather to mark the centenary
:22:50. > :22:51.of the First World War. It features in a film made
:22:52. > :22:54.by her grandson Matthew Kay, which was introduced
:22:55. > :22:56.at the Edinburgh Book Festival this Our arts correspondent
:22:57. > :23:01.Pauline McLean reports on four generations of the Kay family -
:23:02. > :23:14.starting with Private Joseph Kay. It was my dad, of course, a
:23:15. > :23:20.soldiers, 16, 17 when he joined up in the 14-18 war. It was difficult
:23:21. > :23:26.to get a job in the early 1920s, so he was on what you call the spare,
:23:27. > :23:31.in the corporation where you hung about until you got picked up, sow
:23:32. > :23:37.started conducting in the trams then became a driver. - so he started. It
:23:38. > :23:40.struck me that he wouldn't be wearing the tram drivers' uniform at
:23:41. > :23:45.all had he not survived the war and if he had not survived my dad
:23:46. > :23:49.wouldn't have been born and if he hadn't been born, I wouldn't have
:23:50. > :23:53.been adopted by him. I was thinking about lines, broken lines and the
:23:54. > :23:57.way they are affected and created by chances. He didn't talk about the
:23:58. > :24:02.war very much at all. Sometimes a wee song from the trenches here and
:24:03. > :24:08.there, and maybe some funny episode or whatever. He prepared to sing
:24:09. > :24:12.some of the songs that were - oh, what a lovely war and that, some of
:24:13. > :24:18.the old ones he remembereded. Often it is a poet's job, really, to try
:24:19. > :24:22.and find a way to voice the stories that are not worded. If you look at
:24:23. > :24:26.the First World War poets, they tried to say the unsayable and tried
:24:27. > :24:30.it speak the words that weren't actually being said. I think
:24:31. > :24:33.sometimes, when somebody has had that experience of war, it was very,
:24:34. > :24:39.very common for people not really to be able it talk about it and that
:24:40. > :24:43.silence becomes part of the story. In my grandfather's cakes I remember
:24:44. > :24:48.him vividly as a man who loved to sipping and a man of great warmth
:24:49. > :24:54.and generosity. I remember him as a wee girl. He died when I was four.
:24:55. > :24:57.My son, Matthew has made this film that honours his great grandfather
:24:58. > :25:03.and my dad's father. There is something really lovely about that
:25:04. > :25:06.generational line that makes our family storey. It is a kind of joint
:25:07. > :25:10.family, team evident, isn't it, dad? Time for the weather now
:25:11. > :25:13.and its such a lovely evening here in Glasgow that we've sent
