:01:28. > :01:29.and their son failed to meet a deadline to qualify for a new visa
:01:30. > :01:32.and were told to leave over But the couple have now
:01:33. > :01:42.found work which meets The brain family face a more
:01:43. > :01:46.uncertain future this evening, after being told the leave the UK six
:01:47. > :01:50.weeks ago, they've now found work which means they can fulfil a dream
:01:51. > :01:54.and stay in the Highlands. Overwhelmed with emotion. I can't
:01:55. > :01:59.describe how I feel. Seven months now we have been without work and,
:02:00. > :02:08.you know, struggling and fight through this whole process. Gregg
:02:09. > :02:12.Gregg Brain came here to study at the university of the Highland and
:02:13. > :02:17.Islands on a student veesia. They understood they be able to stay and
:02:18. > :02:20.work here after she completed the course, but immigration schools
:02:21. > :02:27.changed making that more difficult. Now she has secured a new museum
:02:28. > :02:31.curator's post with a national hotel chain, which meets Home Office
:02:32. > :02:36.requirement, giving them leave to remain in the UK. We have a
:02:37. > :02:39.sponsorship on board. They speeded a sponsorship for this particular
:02:40. > :02:43.position but the position meets all the criteria for the Home Office. We
:02:44. > :02:48.feel like we have been guided. We followed the path that needed to
:02:49. > :02:52.happen. We quite often found, in our lives, that we get reminded that
:02:53. > :02:56.things for us happen, not just in the 11th hour but the 59th minute,
:02:57. > :03:01.just to remind us that it is not entirely us. After a high-profile
:03:02. > :03:04.campaign was launched for them to stay, the Home Office argued that it
:03:05. > :03:07.gave the family a number of extension, allowing them time to
:03:08. > :03:12.secure a job which would meet immigration rules. But their local
:03:13. > :03:15.MP says lessons must be learned from the way they were treated All this
:03:16. > :03:19.grief and all effort that so many people had to put in place over the
:03:20. > :03:22.last few months was unnecessary. I think it really demonstrates that
:03:23. > :03:26.ultimately, we need control of immigration policy here in Scotland,
:03:27. > :03:30.so we can make decision based on our own needs and own criteria and I
:03:31. > :03:33.look forward to the situation that no-one else has to go through the
:03:34. > :03:37.kind of thing that the family have gone through over the course of the
:03:38. > :03:40.next few months. After months of living in temporary accommodation,
:03:41. > :03:41.the family are now looking for a permanent home but they have one
:03:42. > :03:46.final hoop to jump through, at the permanent home but they have one
:03:47. > :03:50.request of their young son, Laclin. What do you want in the back yard? A
:03:51. > :03:52.trampoline. And we can speak to
:03:53. > :03:56.Gregg and Kathryn Brain Greg this has been a long
:03:57. > :04:01.and exhausting process for you - what life lessons have you learned
:04:02. > :04:15.having lived through all this? The importance of persistence. Yes.
:04:16. > :04:19.You must be feeling very happy tonight. Relieved as well. What are
:04:20. > :04:25.your thoughts on what you have gone through and the way that the Home
:04:26. > :04:30.Office handled the case? ? Look, we are absolutely elated that we have
:04:31. > :04:33.got this leave to remain now. So I'm feeling elation that we are able to
:04:34. > :04:39.stay. I'm feeling furious that we have had to go through all of this
:04:40. > :04:41.to get to this point when we were proimsed a two-year visa after
:04:42. > :04:45.Katherine's studies when we first arrived. Mostly I'm feeling
:04:46. > :04:50.gratitude for the support we have had. The MP, to our lar, to
:04:51. > :04:54.fulfilled his brief and presented an application that would give the Home
:04:55. > :04:58.Office no option but say yes and the support we have had from the
:04:59. > :05:02.community, be that Ding skas ball, the Highlands, Scotland and all of
:05:03. > :05:06.the UK. . We have had cards from as far afield from Essex, giving us
:05:07. > :05:10.messages of support. So to all of those people thank you very much.
:05:11. > :05:13.All that of political support, the media attention your case received,
:05:14. > :05:17.Kathryn, how much do you think that helped your case to stand out. You
:05:18. > :05:25.are not alone, lots of other people aren't as lucky as you have been. I
:05:26. > :05:30.don't know if there is a lot of luck in it. It was a lot of hard work
:05:31. > :05:33.from so many people. But one thing our coverage of our situation has
:05:34. > :05:39.brought forward, as so many other families that are in similar fights
:05:40. > :05:43.with the Home Office, for legitimate cases, they are completely
:05:44. > :05:47.legitimate in their application, that are struggling with trying to
:05:48. > :05:51.meet the Home Office criteria, which, you know, it may suit some
:05:52. > :05:56.parts of the country but not all parts of the country, so a regional
:05:57. > :06:02.policy is what is really needed. As a family you can start planning
:06:03. > :06:07.ahead to the future. What are your hopes now, apart from the
:06:08. > :06:12.trampoline? Well, yes, he definitely wants that trampoline.
:06:13. > :06:16.Well, the immediate plans, the plans we have had in place for a couple of
:06:17. > :06:20.weeks now s I'm graduating with my degree. I actually have to hand my
:06:21. > :06:26.degree back to the university so they can give it to me formally at
:06:27. > :06:30.Orkney at the Cathedral. I'm so looking forward to that. And an
:06:31. > :06:34.anniversary. And we have been married 25 years next week, so we
:06:35. > :06:39.are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary up there as well by
:06:40. > :06:43.renewing our vows or receiving a blessing at the St Magnus Cathedral
:06:44. > :06:46.while we are there. If not on the Friday, most likely on Saturday if
:06:47. > :06:49.we can arrangement but we have to get them in place yet.
:06:50. > :06:52.Congratulations on that and thank you for joining us this evening.
:06:53. > :06:55.A social worker involved in the case of the murdered Fife toddler,
:06:56. > :07:03.A watchdog found Lesley Bate guilty of 12 charges involving
:07:04. > :07:06.It said her misconduct amounted to neglect.
:07:07. > :07:08.But it also criticised her employer and some of the witnesses
:07:09. > :07:21.Panel members heard five days of evidence and today delivered their
:07:22. > :07:28.judgment on Lesley Bate. She stayed away. The charges against her ran it
:07:29. > :07:31.five pages. She was found guilty in all but one. 12 charges, involving
:07:32. > :07:36.15 children over a three-year period. Some of them were thought to
:07:37. > :07:42.be the a risk of physical and sexual abuse. One of those children was
:07:43. > :07:47.Liam Fee. A child minder first raised concerns with her social work
:07:48. > :07:50.in January 2013. Liam has a massive bruise on his forehead. A month
:07:51. > :07:55.later, further concerns about a neck injury. More than a year later, Liam
:07:56. > :08:00.was murdered by his mother and her partner. Lesley Bate had visited
:08:01. > :08:06.Liam's home after the first injury. His mother said Liam had fallen out
:08:07. > :08:10.of his cot. Miss Bate accepted that. She then failed to follow up on the
:08:11. > :08:15.later concerns. None of this will surprise this who feared from Liam's
:08:16. > :08:20.safety and tried to get him help. The whole community is completely
:08:21. > :08:24.knocked by this. The worst part is that a lot of people were speaking
:08:25. > :08:29.up and obviously we weren't taken seriously enough. The Scottish
:08:30. > :08:32.social services Council panel found Lesley Bate left Liam Fee and other
:08:33. > :08:39.children at risk of actual or potential harm and that her "serious
:08:40. > :08:43.misconduct" amounted to neglect. Fife Council says it has every
:08:44. > :08:45.confidence in the potentiallyism and Fife Council says it has every
:08:46. > :08:50.integrity of the staff who gave evidence but tonight there are calls
:08:51. > :08:53.for a wider review. It is very clear there was no joined-up working and
:08:54. > :08:57.the communication seems to have been extremely poor throughout this case
:08:58. > :09:04.and we have to make sure there are no others who were allowed to slip
:09:05. > :09:08.through the net. Whether or not the authorities could have done more to
:09:09. > :09:11.stop the murders is now being investigated by a case review. Fife
:09:12. > :09:17.Council declined to be interviewed today. In a statement it said the
:09:18. > :09:21.Lesley Bate case did not reflect current practice or the high
:09:22. > :09:25.standards of professionalism it expects from its social work staff.
:09:26. > :09:27.Almost a quarter of young women in Scotland have reported
:09:28. > :09:29.they've self-harmed, according to a comprehensive survey
:09:30. > :09:36.It also found 8% have attempted suicide.
:09:37. > :09:39.The figures in the Scottish Health Survey further highlight the link
:09:40. > :09:40.between poor health and anxiety, with deprivation.
:09:41. > :09:46.Our Home Affairs Correspondent Reevel Alderson reports.
:09:47. > :09:52.How do we feel about ourselves? The annual health survey highlights
:09:53. > :09:57.changes in personal well-being among Scots. The results show the levels
:09:58. > :10:01.of anxiety and depression being felt, and surprisingly, those in the
:10:02. > :10:07.most deprived areas, are more likely to suffer symptoms. 9% of film
:10:08. > :10:13.self-harmed in the past year. The figure for men was 6%. But among
:10:14. > :10:21.young women the figure was 23%, almost one-quarter. For young men
:10:22. > :10:24.approximates more worryingly is the attempted suicide attempts. Mental
:10:25. > :10:27.health charities say they are not surprised. They say they have
:10:28. > :10:29.health charities say they are not received an increase number of calls
:10:30. > :10:33.from young people seeking help. We know that from the research and
:10:34. > :10:36.evidence we have been looking at over the last few weeks, that young
:10:37. > :10:43.women and body image is a real issue. So there is a lot going on in
:10:44. > :10:45.young people's lives and, therefore, the increase in self-harm,
:10:46. > :10:51.particularly with young women, is a way that they can start to perhaps
:10:52. > :10:56.control situations themselves. The health survey also reveals an
:10:57. > :10:59.increase in the number of people using electronic cigarettes, vaping,
:11:00. > :11:04.and a further decline in those smoke, although it shows one in five
:11:05. > :11:08.still smokes. It also shows fewer children are exposed to second-hand
:11:09. > :11:13.smoke in the home. From heart disease, obesity and departmental
:11:14. > :11:16.health, the survey's same to provide the Government with the information
:11:17. > :11:21.needed to tackle the health problems. - obesity and dental
:11:22. > :11:24.health. We need this to be able to provide a whole picture of the
:11:25. > :11:28.nation's health and how it has changed over time. Certainly, what
:11:29. > :11:33.we are able to see, on measures like smoking, for example, is there has
:11:34. > :11:37.been a long-term decline. Clearly information campaigns aren't enough.
:11:38. > :11:40.Only one in five Scots meets the recommendation of five portions of
:11:41. > :11:46.fresh fruit and veg a day. The same level as 13 years ago.
:11:47. > :11:48.Today's health figures also show there's been almost no change
:11:49. > :11:50.in levels of physical activity in Scotland.
:11:51. > :11:53.A quarter of all children and a third of adults are failing
:11:54. > :11:56.to meet activity guidelines set by the Scottish Government.
:11:57. > :12:00.This despite a promise that the Commonwealth Games
:12:01. > :12:01.would inspire people to become more active.
:12:02. > :12:15.This is the sort of cheap and cheerful activity that can encourage
:12:16. > :12:19.healthy habits. We are stuck inside like all day and then just to get
:12:20. > :12:25.fresh air and run is good. I think it is really fun. It helps you get
:12:26. > :12:26.healthy and fit. The daily mile has been adopted by schools up and down
:12:27. > :12:30.the country. But it didn't have any been adopted by schools up and down
:12:31. > :12:35.connection to the Commonwealth Games. Glasgow 2014 clearly was
:12:36. > :12:41.popular. A catalyst for regeneration in the East End of the city. It
:12:42. > :12:45.helped create a wave of elite athletes, with more success in Rio,
:12:46. > :12:49.but when it comes to mass participation in sport, we don't
:12:50. > :12:54.appear to be getting the message - begging the question: Why did
:12:55. > :12:58.politicians say it will? Inactivity is the second-biggest killer in
:12:59. > :13:02.Scotland and the Government has set targets to combat it. It is falling
:13:03. > :13:07.far short of this. Activity levels remain stagnant. Obesity levels are
:13:08. > :13:10.poor. In fact, there's been no significant rise in children
:13:11. > :13:16.participating in sport since 2008. That was before the Olympics and the
:13:17. > :13:20.comop wealth Games came along. - Commonwealth Games. I don't accept
:13:21. > :13:24.that. I think the Games have been an important part in ensuring sport and
:13:25. > :13:28.physical activity remain high on the agenda. The whole investment in PE
:13:29. > :13:33.and getting 10% of schools doing two hours and two periods of PE to 98%
:13:34. > :13:37.of schools was a legacy from the Commonwealth Games. One-third of the
:13:38. > :13:40.population is enactive. Researchers say to change that will require
:13:41. > :13:43.population is enactive. Researchers cultural shift Sport is probably not
:13:44. > :13:49.the first option for those people. We probably need to look how we can
:13:50. > :13:52.get them active through active living, through cycling, walk,
:13:53. > :13:57.gardening, those activities rather than sfort itself. And this is the
:13:58. > :14:02.sort of thing. - sport itself. And this is the sort of thing, walking
:14:03. > :14:04.groups, big benefits It keeps them in touch physically. It improves
:14:05. > :14:10.groups, big benefits It keeps them mobility and balance and we are all
:14:11. > :14:15.very sociable. There is lofts talk, sometimes far too much and less
:14:16. > :14:20.concentration. The attitudinal shift, it appears, to get the nation
:14:21. > :14:22.active, will not come about by hosting a big sporting event.
:14:23. > :14:25.And there will be more on that story on Scotland 2016 tonigh.
:14:26. > :14:36.So we have fewer smokers and less binge drinking but what have the
:14:37. > :14:40.Scots got against fruit and veg. Our already-poor die vets failed to
:14:41. > :14:46.improve over the past decade. So is it time it take tough action? We'll
:14:47. > :14:48.discuss on BBC Two Scotland tonight at 10.30pm.

:15:15. > :15:17.Police are investigating a rape at a bus stop
:15:18. > :15:24.The serious sexual assault was reported to have

:15:35. > :15:37.The RMT Union say they are recommending members accept a deal
:15:38. > :15:39.with Scotrail that should mean the end of strike action
:15:40. > :15:43.It means both drivers and conductors will operate train doors.
:15:44. > :15:45.Thousands of passengers were caught up in the summer strikes.
:15:46. > :15:58.It bass 123 days of misery for rail passengers. Thousands were delayed
:15:59. > :16:02.Ascot rail services were cancelled across the network. The RMT's
:16:03. > :16:07.decision to recommend a new deal to its members means services will
:16:08. > :16:11.probably now get back on track. The union says the role of train guards
:16:12. > :16:17.has been saved. For them, it's a victory. What we've managed to
:16:18. > :16:21.achieve and what we've actually managed to deliver is safe trains.
:16:22. > :16:26.We've now delivered the guard will be on the train and the guard will
:16:27. > :16:33.be in fully operational control of the doors. That, in RMT's strong
:16:34. > :16:37.opinion, constitutes safe Scottish trains. At the heart of this dispute
:16:38. > :16:41.was the question of who opens and closes the train doors. ScotRail
:16:42. > :16:46.wanted drivers to do that on new rolling stock. The RMT said that was
:16:47. > :16:51.a safety issue. So, has ScotRail had to back down? When you are in these
:16:52. > :17:03.negotiations you don't always get what you really wanted. I think the
:17:04. > :17:07.fact that we had the conversations the discussion was all part of a
:17:08. > :17:14.process. Will customers end up paying more? No. That's an
:17:15. > :17:21.unequivocal message ScotRail believe the new deal is a Winton situation
:17:22. > :17:27.for everyone. New rolling stock will be fitted with door controls for
:17:28. > :17:28.conductors. It's not known how much it will add to the cost, but

:18:00. > :18:03.rig which lies at anchor and has lain there for the past few weeks.
:18:04. > :18:08.Then preparations begin in earnest to float the rig onto the heavy lift
:18:09. > :18:12.ship so it can be taken away. A lot of preparation has to go on before
:18:13. > :18:18.then. Timbers have to be laid on the deck of the ship and also airbags
:18:19. > :18:23.have to be put onto the rig to raise it higher in the water so it will
:18:24. > :18:27.float over the submerged deck of the hawk. All of this is going to take
:18:28. > :18:32.time and it's going to mean very precise work. It will also mean they
:18:33. > :18:37.will have to have very good weather. I spoke earlier to the Secretary of
:18:38. > :18:42.State's representative, Huw Shaw, who reckoned they might be able to
:18:43. > :18:47.do this weekend. 'S difficult to predict. Our best guess at the
:18:48. > :18:49.moment is looking into the weekend and Sunday is looking more
:18:50. > :18:53.favourable than Saturday at the moment. We are starting to think
:18:54. > :18:56.along that line. That could change on a daily basis. It could come
:18:57. > :19:03.forward or it may be pushed back. The Scottish FA is investigating
:19:04. > :19:05.claims that the Rangers player, Joey Barton, broke its gambling
:19:06. > :19:08.rules by betting on a recent match. The SFA prevents players

:19:12. > :19:12.is our senior football Chris, what exactly
:19:13. > :19:20.is being investigated? Well, the allegation, Laura, is that
:19:21. > :19:25.Joey Barton, who round Rangers in the summer, placed a bet on Celtic's
:19:26. > :19:31.recent Champions League match against Barcelona at the Nou camp, a
:19:32. > :19:35.game the Spanish side won 7-1. A one-off bet. As you say, football
:19:36. > :19:41.players are not allowed to bet on football matches. That's all in a
:19:42. > :19:45.bid to try and combat match-fixing. Investigations on this are at a very
:19:46. > :19:48.early stage. The club are saying absolutely nothing. On this, at the
:19:49. > :19:52.moment, Joey Barton himself is saying nothing. What kind of
:19:53. > :19:56.punishment could he be looking at if he's found guilty? Usually, in this
:19:57. > :20:00.type of scenario, it's a suspension, a two match suspension for this type
:20:01. > :20:04.of offence, a one-off betting offence. This is a strange one with
:20:05. > :20:08.regards to Joey Barton because at the moment he's currently serving a
:20:09. > :20:12.three week suspension from Rangers. He is a controversial figure. He had
:20:13. > :20:16.a heated exchange with team-mates and his manager at the training
:20:17. > :20:21.ground following their defeat to Celtic a few weeks ago. At this
:20:22. > :20:26.stage, in terms of the betting, there will be some kind of charge
:20:27. > :20:30.issued, the big question is - will he be around in Scotland to serve
:20:31. > :20:36.any you pension on any ban that comes his way? What happens next,
:20:37. > :20:41.Chris? Throw into the mix that Joey Barton has a book to launch on
:20:42. > :20:45.Thursday No None since it is titled. He gave interviews in it he says
:20:46. > :20:49.perhaps he regrets joining Rangers. Something that will not go down with
:20:50. > :20:52.the fans. There are those I believe in a position of power at Rangers
:20:53. > :20:57.that believe that Joey Barton's time at the club is up. That he is
:20:58. > :21:01.finished at Ibrox Stadium. It looks like, at some point in the next few
:21:02. > :21:06.weeks, Joey Barton and Rangers will part company. That could make this
:21:07. > :21:12.whole betting scenario irrelevant. Chris, thank you very much.
:21:13. > :21:15.Andy Murray has told BBC Scotland it's time for the tennis authorities
:21:16. > :21:17.to deliver a lasting legacy for the sport in this country.
:21:18. > :21:20.The Olympic and Wimbledon Champion says he welcomes ambitious plans
:21:21. > :21:22.to build 10 new indoor facilities in Scotland over
:21:23. > :21:26.He was also quizzed by local schoolchildren in Stirling
:21:27. > :21:28.about his language on court - and mum Judy taken
:21:29. > :21:44.He's used to making a big entrance, instead of Centre Court, he was
:21:45. > :21:48.centre of attention for youngsters in Stirling hoping to inspire the
:21:49. > :21:53.next generation and keen to make sure that plans to turn the Murray
:21:54. > :21:57.brothers success into new facilities are actually delivered and delivered
:21:58. > :22:04.soon. Me and Jamie won't be playing forever. I've made got three, four
:22:05. > :22:08.more years playing at the top level. The more facilities, especially
:22:09. > :22:13.indoors facilities, the better. In Scotland the weather isn't great
:22:14. > :22:19.here and it can be expensive to play. As well indoors, too. More
:22:20. > :22:27.indoor facilities the better and hopefully they follow-through on
:22:28. > :22:30.that promise. Tennis Scotland has an ambitious plan to create facilities
:22:31. > :22:33.like this the length and breadth of the country. They want two new
:22:34. > :22:39.facilities every year for the next five years to have a network right
:22:40. > :22:42.across Scotland. Music to the ears of someone who has been calling for
:22:43. > :22:46.just that for quite some time. They can get started in school with the
:22:47. > :22:50.mini version of the game. It has to be able to translate into the full
:22:51. > :22:53.game. We need out door public courts that are are free hopefully and more
:22:54. > :22:57.game. We need out door public courts indoor courts to make it a 12 months
:22:58. > :23:03.of the year sport. Two new careers may also have been launched today.
:23:04. > :23:08.How much better were the girls' questions than mine? Much, much,
:23:09. > :23:14.much better. They were good. What does your mum think about you
:23:15. > :23:19.swearing on court? I learnt it from her, actually! I think she
:23:20. > :23:23.understands, but would prefer if I didn't. I would prefer if I didn't
:23:24. > :23:29.as well. I just sometimes find it hard to control my emotions. You
:23:30. > :23:33.sense the only thing that would wipe the smile off Andy Murray's face
:23:34. > :23:39.given the size of his trophy cabinet would be a failure to build any
:23:40. > :23:42.lasting legacy. Hi's in trouble, I think!
:23:43. > :23:45.Now, it's time for the weather with Kirsteen.
:23:46. > :23:51.It's been a fine day across much of the country with some brightness and
:23:52. > :23:55.sunshine around. Particularly so in the north-east this afternoon. Clear
:23:56. > :24:00.blue skies for many, thank you to one of our weather watchers in
:24:01. > :24:04.Inverness for this picture. This evening and tonight little by wait
:24:05. > :24:10.way of change. We hold on to settled and largely dry conditions. A few
:24:11. > :24:14.showers continuing to pepper the western isles and across sket land
:24:15. > :24:17.during the night. Otherwise dry, clear spells allowing temperatures
:24:18. > :24:22.in sheltered rule rural areas to fall to six or seven Celsius. For
:24:23. > :24:31.the most part we hold up into double figures. Winds will be light to
:24:32. > :24:35.moderate elsewhere. We dawn on a dry and bright note for many of uses
:24:36. > :24:38.with spells of sunshine around, too. However, as we go through the course
:24:39. > :24:42.of the day, cloud will tend to increase in the west and by
:24:43. > :24:46.afternoon that will be followed by some outbreaks of rain and strong
:24:47. > :24:49.otherly winds for western coastal areas. Tomorrow afternoon then we
:24:50. > :24:56.will see a few showers developing across the likes of the Borders in
:24:57. > :25:00.towards the Edinburgh area. A lot of dry, bright weather with spells of
:25:01. > :25:08.sunshine. For western coastal areas, up towards the north-west highlands,
:25:09. > :25:12.Skye and the western isles a cloudy and wet afternoon with brisk winds.
:25:13. > :25:17.We will hold on to dry conditions, sunshine around and temperatures
:25:18. > :25:20.peaking around 17 or 18 Celsius. Towards evening the showers become
:25:21. > :25:24.that bit heavier and more frequent in the east and the south-east and
:25:25. > :25:30.all the while this batch of rain in the west continues to track its way
:25:31. > :25:34.eastwards. By Thursday morning that clears the northern isles quickly.
:25:35. > :25:37.Behind it a lot of dry, bright weather with sunshine and a
:25:38. > :25:41.scattering of showers developing to the north-west and a breezy day
:25:42. > :25:44.around the coasts again. By Friday, after a decent start, rain and
:25:45. > :25:50.strengthening winds moving in. That hes a the forecast. Laura.
:25:51. > :25:54.We'll be back with headlines at 8.00pm and the late bulletin just
:25:55. > :25:57.Until then, from everyone on the team - right
