:01:28. > :01:29.The BBC has also learnt that seven children subsequently
:01:30. > :01:31.disappeared from care, thought to have been taken
:01:32. > :01:36.In this exclusive report our political correspondent Lucy Adams
:01:37. > :01:48.has been to meet some of those who've been trafficked.
:01:49. > :01:55.This boy was sent to Scotland in the lorry when he was 15. As part of the
:01:56. > :01:59.journey, he remembers walking through forest for days. When he
:02:00. > :02:07.arrived, he had no idea what country he was in.
:02:08. > :02:13.TRANSLATION: In the early days, my mind was full of fear and concern.
:02:14. > :02:20.Two of the Vietnamese boys he was with then disappeared. Because those
:02:21. > :02:26.two fled, I was even more scared. His story is not unique. Figures
:02:27. > :02:28.obtained by the BBC show that over 100 children have been trafficked
:02:29. > :02:31.obtained by the BBC show that over into Scotland in the past six years,
:02:32. > :02:38.and more than half of them came from Vietnam. A quarter have been forced
:02:39. > :02:43.to work in cannabis plantations, another quarter in the sex industry.
:02:44. > :02:48.More than 10% became domestic slaves behind closed doors. Others are on
:02:49. > :02:55.our high streets, forced to work in nail bars. I think it is a growing
:02:56. > :03:00.problem because of the refugee crisis. There are many children on
:03:01. > :03:03.the move. It is the tip of the iceberg, because we only see those
:03:04. > :03:07.lucky enough to escape will be rescued from a situation. There are
:03:08. > :03:13.probably a lot of children we don't know about that are being exploited
:03:14. > :03:17.in different situations. For those trafficked into Scotland, the
:03:18. > :03:21.nightmare does not necessarily end once they escape. Seven Vietnamese
:03:22. > :03:25.children have since disappeared, thought to have been abducted by the
:03:26. > :03:31.very gangs that brought them here. That includes a 15-year-old, feared
:03:32. > :03:40.to have been abducted in Glasgow last summer. This boy's parents died
:03:41. > :03:45.when he was ten. A gang found him and forced to work a shoeshine boy.
:03:46. > :03:48.They then put him into the back of a lorry. We cannot show his face
:03:49. > :03:54.because he lives in fear of the gangs who brought him here.
:03:55. > :03:59.TRANSLATION: A person brought a gun to threaten me. He asked me to stay
:04:00. > :04:03.inside, not make any noise. If someone hears me inside, they would
:04:04. > :04:10.kill me. They said if I don't work, they would kill me. Scotland is a
:04:11. > :04:14.long way from Vietnam, but experts say the global refugee crisis means
:04:15. > :04:18.the numbers trafficked here will continue to rise, and that more
:04:19. > :04:24.support is required to ensure that once rescued these children do not
:04:25. > :04:30.go missing again. Lucy joins me now. How big a problem
:04:31. > :04:37.in Scotland is this? Part of the problem is that by its very nature
:04:38. > :04:40.this is a hidden crime. The charity say there is an estimated 13,000
:04:41. > :04:44.victims of trafficking currently held captive around the UK. But
:04:45. > :04:48.these figures show that this is something which is getting a bigger
:04:49. > :04:52.problem in Scotland. Because Scotland is distant, geographically,
:04:53. > :04:56.from some of the main smuggling routes in the south-east of England,
:04:57. > :04:59.sometimes there is an assumption that we are exempt from the problem.
:05:00. > :05:05.These figures show that is not the case. Experts also say that despite
:05:06. > :05:09.seeing these figures, this is just the tip of the iceberg, because all
:05:10. > :05:14.they know about is the children who have been rescued and found, mainly
:05:15. > :05:18.in police raids. They don't know about those still being forced to
:05:19. > :05:23.work behind closed doors. Couldn't they run away, many of them? A
:05:24. > :05:27.number of them are working in nail bars in high streets around
:05:28. > :05:33.Scotland. As you say, it is not as if they are held behind bars. But
:05:34. > :05:36.whereas hundreds of years ago the bonds of Labour were shackles that
:05:37. > :05:40.you could see, now they are invisible. They are being held by
:05:41. > :05:45.fear. Many of them may be debt bonded to their captors, and they
:05:46. > :05:49.are held by threats to their lives, to the lives of their families, and
:05:50. > :05:50.the fact that they are children in a foreign country where they do not
:05:51. > :05:53.speak the language. A drink-driver has admitted causing
:05:54. > :05:56.the death of a woman in a crash, as she returned home
:05:57. > :05:58.from her son's wedding. 57-year-old Marie Laurie had
:05:59. > :06:00.just got into a taxi with her husband, when it was hit
:06:01. > :06:03.by a car being chased Today the High Court in Glasgow
:06:04. > :06:06.heard that the driver, 21-year-old Steven Bennie,
:06:07. > :06:24.was travelling at 80 miles an hour Steven Bennie, in the suit, was 20
:06:25. > :06:27.years old in November last year, with only a provisional licence
:06:28. > :06:30.when, after drinking enough with friends to put him over the
:06:31. > :06:35.drink-drive limit, he refused to stop when police tried to pull him
:06:36. > :06:40.over. Marie Laurie had just got into a taxi with her husband, on their
:06:41. > :06:44.way home from her son's wedding. The court heard that after Steven
:06:45. > :06:48.Bennie, who was driving in an Astra, sped off from the police coming
:06:49. > :06:54.switched off his headlights and was driving at around 80 miles proud in
:06:55. > :06:58.a 30 mph zone. In the taxi, James was handing his wife, Marie Laurie,
:06:59. > :07:03.the flowers she had been given at the wedding. When Steven Bennie's
:07:04. > :07:07.car hit the taxi, it did so with such impact that the taxi spun
:07:08. > :07:11.round. Marie Laurie lost consciousness a few minutes later
:07:12. > :07:15.and despite the actions of the lease and paramedics, she died. Her
:07:16. > :07:17.husband survived but sustained multiple injuries including rib
:07:18. > :07:22.fractures and a laceration to his liver. Marie Laurie's family were
:07:23. > :07:29.clearly shocked when they heard the speed that Steven Bennie was doing.
:07:30. > :07:33.I know it was a 30 mph zone. I thought maybe 60 mph, but it set the
:07:34. > :07:39.whole family back when we heard that. It was his wedding that Marie
:07:40. > :07:41.Laurie had been at. The family are pleased that Steven Bennie has
:07:42. > :07:46.admitted his guilt and they can be left to grieve. Marie Laurie was a
:07:47. > :07:50.admitted his guilt and they can be much loved mother, stepmother,
:07:51. > :07:56.grandmother and aunt. Peacemaker. My mum was just a very genuine woman.
:07:57. > :08:01.Nice. She got on with anybody. I have said this many times. She got
:08:02. > :08:05.on with anybody. She loved her family. Steven Bennie was remanded
:08:06. > :08:06.in custody and will be sentenced next month. The judge told him he
:08:07. > :08:11.will be given a prison sentence. The winner of the Labour
:08:12. > :08:13.party's leadership contest between Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith
:08:14. > :08:15.will be announced at a special conference
:08:16. > :08:17.in Liverpool tomorrow morning. Our political correspondent
:08:18. > :08:19.Nick Eardley is in Is a Jeremy Corbyn victory now seen
:08:20. > :08:37.as inevitable, Nick? Sally, I think the expectation is
:08:38. > :08:42.that Jeremy Corbyn will be confirmed Labour leader tomorrow in the
:08:43. > :08:46.conference centre on the beautiful banks of the River Mersey. The
:08:47. > :08:51.question is how big he will win, and whether or not it means his internal
:08:52. > :08:56.opponents have two, at least for now, put their criticism to one
:08:57. > :09:00.side. One thing to watch out for is whether the margin between Jeremy
:09:01. > :09:04.Corbyn and his challenger, Owen Smith, is any less in Scotland.
:09:05. > :09:07.People I have spoken to expect that Owen Smith will get a bigger margin
:09:08. > :09:12.of the vote in Scotland, although there is not a sense that he will
:09:13. > :09:16.necessarily win north of the border. What about the indications for
:09:17. > :09:20.Scotland, because Kezia Dugdale publicly backed Owen Smith. What
:09:21. > :09:25.might a Jeremy Corbyn victory mean for relations between the UK and the
:09:26. > :09:29.Scottish party? Kezia Dugdale said last month that she did not think
:09:30. > :09:35.Jeremy Corbyn had wide enough appeal to lead the Labour Party to a UK
:09:36. > :09:38.general election victory. One of the questions that Kezia Dugdale will
:09:39. > :09:43.face if Jeremy Corbyn does win tomorrow is whether she has changed
:09:44. > :09:46.her mind, and if he is in power in the Labour Party leading up to a
:09:47. > :09:51.general election, whether she thinks it is a lost cause. What I expect
:09:52. > :09:55.tomorrow is that Jeremy Corbyn will say, we need to wipe the slate
:09:56. > :10:00.clean, get behind whoever the leader is and move forward as a party. I
:10:01. > :10:06.think you will hear something similar from Kezia Dugdale tomorrow.
:10:07. > :10:08.She will want to give the message of unity to say, let's stop fighting
:10:09. > :10:13.each other and spend more time fighting political opponents. But
:10:14. > :10:18.the key differences and the key personalities are likely to remain
:10:19. > :10:23.the same. And whether those differences can be solved moving
:10:24. > :10:24.forward, that remains to be seen. A lovely sunset behind you in

:11:20. > :11:23.for the checks on buildings constructed at about the same
:11:24. > :11:37.time as the schools. It started with the collapse of this
:11:38. > :11:43.wall, and similar construction flaws were discovered at other PFI schools
:11:44. > :11:47.in Edinburgh. 17 were closed. Repairs done, pupils back in class,
:11:48. > :11:50.Edinburgh Council have now ordered a survey of other city buildings to
:11:51. > :11:56.check whether the problems are more widespread. The surveys will focus
:11:57. > :12:00.on building is built around the same time using a similar design model as
:12:01. > :12:05.the ones where problems have been uncovered. The council are refusing
:12:06. > :12:12.to say exactly which buildings engineers will be looking at, but
:12:13. > :12:16.there are dozens on the list. Described as precautionary, ?500,000
:12:17. > :12:20.has been set aside for work councillors hope will reveal nothing
:12:21. > :12:24.new. You can't rule it out and that is the reason for the survey,
:12:25. > :12:28.although so far the buildings are perfectly sound. Nevertheless, it
:12:29. > :12:32.seems prudent, having discovered problems in the school buildings, to
:12:33. > :12:38.look at others with a similar design, to satisfy ourselves they
:12:39. > :12:40.are completely safe. Last month a BBC investigation revealed
:12:41. > :12:44.construction defects at schools elsewhere in Scotland. This
:12:45. > :12:50.architect believes others should follow Edinburgh's decision to look
:12:51. > :12:54.beyond the school estate. The incredible thing that Fiona Walker's
:12:55. > :12:57.investigation threw up was the extent, the possible extent of how
:12:58. > :13:00.many failings there are potentially in each of those schools. I am
:13:01. > :13:05.many failings there are potentially puzzled but not surprised. I think
:13:06. > :13:10.it is overdue. The surveys are expected to take a few months. All
:13:11. > :13:13.the while, an independent enquiry into the school closures continues,
:13:14. > :13:15.with a report due by the end of the year.

:14:16. > :14:21.approach will better profit all of their sports. So who are the main

:14:45. > :14:46.By having a product, there is more choice for people, particularly if
:14:47. > :14:52.you look at selling a family product. Not everyone wants to cycle
:14:53. > :14:55.necessarily, or to run or swim, but hopefully if we can package and
:14:56. > :15:01.promote something we will get best value for everybody's resource.
:15:02. > :15:03.Athletics made a decision six years ago to focus on developing clubs,

:15:09. > :15:13.coaching the athlete at the heart of sport, and we are starting to see
:15:14. > :15:17.the benefits now. It is about starting to take advantage of those
:15:18. > :15:21.results, the political and public opportunities they present to
:15:22. > :15:24.promote sport. There are lots of good ideas in athletics but it is
:15:25. > :15:28.good to look at what other sports are doing. Sometimes you think we
:15:29. > :15:31.are doing similar things but slightly differently, so the slight
:15:32. > :15:36.differences make you think, that is something we had not thought of. It
:15:37. > :15:41.will take time to build the system into a Scottish regional, national
:15:42. > :15:46.system and ultimately being selected on to GB. We know if we get them on
:15:47. > :15:53.GB, they are in the best system in the world, as has been proven over
:15:54. > :15:57.the last three Olympics cycles. Out of the meeting, something that has
:15:58. > :16:00.been reinforced is the importance of our clubs, coaches and supporting
:16:01. > :16:06.performance athletes. We will go away and double our efforts on that
:16:07. > :16:09.front. The talks will continue. The three sports say they are committed

:20:29. > :20:35.says, in the Aberdeen dialect, we don't mind Celtic, but we hate
:20:36. > :20:39.Rangers. So even then, there was a kind of vitriolic hatred against
:20:40. > :20:43.Rangers. Some believe it was down to the arrival of another Glaswegian to
:20:44. > :20:51.the north-east. When Alex Ferguson took over, made Aberdeen the team it
:20:52. > :20:56.became a 1980s, it very unusual for Rangers to beat Aberdeen, and so you

:21:36. > :21:40.about the rivalry between Rangers and Celtic, but Aberdeen against

:21:57. > :21:59.Shooting estates have long been accused of disturbing the nests.
:22:00. > :22:00.Now land managers are working with conservationists
:22:01. > :22:04.to better understand what's happening.
:22:05. > :22:07.And they've made some unexpected discoveries.
:22:08. > :22:15.Dougie Vipond has been finding out more.
:22:16. > :22:23.Hen harriers always build their nests on the ground. This project
:22:24. > :22:28.involves placing hidden cameras at their nest sites to find out what
:22:29. > :22:34.threats they face. Brian Etheridge has worked for RSPB for 30 years.
:22:35. > :22:38.Why do think numbers are so low? Unfortunately, I find in most cases
:22:39. > :22:42.it is the land management that is the problem, which is mainly driven
:22:43. > :22:49.grouse moors. But many landowners say they try to provide a safe haven
:22:50. > :22:55.for wildlife. By keeping it small, you have got... Tim Baines as a
:22:56. > :22:58.spokesman for Scottish Land and Estates, the body that represents
:22:59. > :23:03.most of the grouse shooting moorland.
:23:04. > :23:06.You always painted as the bad guys, is that frustrating? People get
:23:07. > :23:09.angry, because they are out every day, taking responsibility for
:23:10. > :23:15.balancing all the different things that they have to do in managing
:23:16. > :23:20.moorland. It is the end of the breeding season, and the nest
:23:21. > :23:31.cameras are coming down. Initially, there are five chicks on the nest,
:23:32. > :23:34.and the camera records the temperature, it is particularly
:23:35. > :23:41.cold, and only one of the original five survives due to the extreme
:23:42. > :23:44.temperature ranges. At another site in the South of Scotland, you can
:23:45. > :23:54.see the chicks are relaxing, and over the next couple of shots... A
:23:55. > :23:57.fox, my goodness, look at that! Really aggressive, feisty reaction.
:23:58. > :24:02.Unfortunately, we learn later on that in this case the chick was
:24:03. > :24:07.nipped by the fox and was found dead. The partnership between
:24:08. > :24:11.landowners and conservation agencies has revealed some of the many
:24:12. > :24:12.challenges facing birds of prey, but this collaboration might also holds
:24:13. > :24:15.the key to their future. And you can see more
:24:16. > :24:17.of Dougie Vipond's report on Landward tonight
:24:18. > :24:21.on BBC One Scotland at 7:30. The titles and theme tune

:24:53. > :25:20.about the weekend weather now. , Yes, the rain has set in during
:25:21. > :25:25.the course of the day in the north and north-west, and for a good part
:25:26. > :25:31.of tomorrow it will go nowhere, persistent and heavy pulses of rain.
:25:32. > :25:39.The Met office has issued a yellow warning, a risk of flooding and
:25:40. > :25:46.hazardous driving conditions, and it will be accompanied by heavy winds.
:25:47. > :25:51.Dry and cloudy for the east overnight, lows of around ten or 11
:25:52. > :25:55.Celsius. Tomorrow dawns cloudy, the rain continues across the
:25:56. > :25:59.north-west, and that will continue to spread its way further south and
:26:00. > :26:01.east as we go through the course of the day. Again, accompanied by
:26:02. > :26:05.strong to gale force southerly the day. Again, accompanied by
:26:06. > :26:09.winds. But with that southerly wind direction, there will be sheltered
:26:10. > :26:14.from the hills across the likes of the Borders, Lothians, Edinburgh,
:26:15. > :26:19.Aberdeenshire and the Moray coast, where temperatures will peak at
:26:20. > :26:23.perhaps 20 Celsius, given any sunshine. That is very much the
:26:24. > :26:27.exception to the rule, most of us will be under a blanket of cloud,
:26:28. > :26:31.persistent and heavy outbreaks of rain. Something of a clearance
:26:32. > :26:37.towards the Western Isles, late tomorrow afternoon, and the winds
:26:38. > :26:40.easing here. Across the far north-east, any rain will be light
:26:41. > :26:46.and patchy, although the winds will remain strong to gale force here.
:26:47. > :26:49.For hill walking and climbing, for the more Western Rangers, heavy
:26:50. > :26:58.outbreaks of rain to come, and southerly winds, severe gales, if
:26:59. > :27:02.not storm force gusts of wind is. Extensive hill fog, temperatures up
:27:03. > :27:10.to nine Celsius on the hilltops. In the east, the dry conditions across
:27:11. > :27:15.the Borders, severe gale if not storm force gusts of wind from the

:27:20. > :27:24.a time, that gradually pulls away to the east during the overnight
:27:25. > :27:29.period, and the winds will ease for all. Into Sunday, we still have low
:27:30. > :27:33.pressure in charge, and we have a westerly airflow and Sunday which
:27:34. > :27:37.will bring in a number of showers across the west and north-west
:27:38. > :27:41.especially, with the best of any drier and brighter interludes found
:27:42. > :27:44.towards eastern areas, a fresher feel, and indeed Monday will be a
:27:45. > :27:46.very similar day. That is the forecast, Sally.
