:02:15. > :02:17.Today we got the findings of an independent report into what
:02:18. > :02:20.happened that day. One child protection experts said there was no
:02:21. > :02:24.way of averting the stabbing that protection experts said there was no
:02:25. > :02:28.happened on that day but he does say that those who knew that the killer
:02:29. > :02:33.had a history of taking knives and other weapons to school, if they had
:02:34. > :02:38.reported that to staff it could have been avoided.
:02:39. > :02:44.October 28 last year, a day that will not be forgotten by those
:02:45. > :02:48.involved, as the lunch break ends at cults Academy two boys of 16 have an

:03:05. > :03:09.Today the findings of an independent report into what happened, the
:03:10. > :03:17.picture is painted of an exceptional argument that spiralled out of
:03:18. > :03:21.control. Entirely, in my view, unpredictable, rose very rapidly
:03:22. > :03:26.from an inconsequential argument that schoolboys might have every
:03:27. > :03:30.day, a regular argument which suddenly became inflamed. Of events
:03:31. > :03:33.on the day of the stabbing Andrew Lowe says it was an unplanned
:03:34. > :03:38.spontaneous conflict that emerged rapidly. It could not have been
:03:39. > :03:41.predicted or averted on the day. But he says the course of the conflict
:03:42. > :03:45.was fatally altered by the possession of a knife. This was
:03:46. > :03:52.potentially predictable and avoidable if those who knew Chad A,
:03:53. > :03:59.the killer, carried weapons to school, had reported it to staff -
:04:00. > :04:04.Child A. The possession of a weapon by one boy was known by some people
:04:05. > :04:09.and if they had brought it to the attention of teachers, that may have
:04:10. > :04:13.enabled the event to be avoided. All of my recommendations are around
:04:14. > :04:19.making sure that in future we have a better chance of avoiding that.
:04:20. > :04:25.There are 21 recommendations in the report. Aberdeen City Council
:04:26. > :04:29.accepts them all. I am very, very thoughtful about the impact on the
:04:30. > :04:34.well-being of all children at cults Academy as a result of what
:04:35. > :04:38.happened, that has been my focus for the last year, incumbent upon us or
:04:39. > :04:43.to be mindful and to provide the support, this will prove to be a
:04:44. > :04:47.significant dramatic event in the life of a number of those children.
:04:48. > :04:57.Bailey Gwynne's family met with the author of the report yesterday. He
:04:58. > :05:00.said they showed remarkable dignity. We know from the High Court trial of
:05:01. > :05:06.the killer that a number of fellow pupils had seen him in school with
:05:07. > :05:10.knives and knuckle-dusters. Among the 21 recommendations there is one
:05:11. > :05:14.of the Scottish Government to look at whether the law should be changed
:05:15. > :05:18.to make it easier for teachers and school staff to search pupils about
:05:19. > :05:23.their consent. My colleague will accept that and also how everyone at
:05:24. > :05:24.Cults Academy has been remembering Bailey.
:05:25. > :05:35.A memorial tree for Bailey Gwynne, the Wellow, a powerful symbol of
:05:36. > :05:40.recovery, something that pupils and staff here at Cults Academy working
:05:41. > :05:47.on. Memories of October 28 last year still fresh. I remember a lot of
:05:48. > :05:50.confusion, I was in an English class overlooking the car park, after the
:05:51. > :05:55.incident there were a lot of rumours going around, as you could imagine,
:05:56. > :05:58.nobody could have predicted that from a stab wound, I remember
:05:59. > :06:03.somebody saying it was a bleeding nose and then we heard sirens and
:06:04. > :06:07.ten police cars turning up outside the car parks so when all that was
:06:08. > :06:13.happening no one knew what had actually happened and there was a
:06:14. > :06:17.lot of confusion. Then the devastating news that Bailey had
:06:18. > :06:22.died and then the questions, had his killer brought knives to school
:06:23. > :06:26.before? At his trial we heard he had but West Africa where? There was an
:06:27. > :06:32.incident when he was the second year when I had to interview him, as with
:06:33. > :06:35.school procedure, myself and another member of management met with him
:06:36. > :06:40.and he emptied all his bags and possessions and we had a discussion
:06:41. > :06:44.with him. He was well aware of the consequences and the school rule and
:06:45. > :06:49.indeed the legal situation about carrying weapons and did not give us
:06:50. > :06:56.any reason to think that he did not understand that. Did it happen more
:06:57. > :06:59.than once? Not with us. What happened at this school is
:07:00. > :07:02.thankfully very rare but the reporters calling for changes to the
:07:03. > :07:22.law which would allow teachers to search pupils without consent.
:07:23. > :07:25.It is being considered but some do not agree. We think it would
:07:26. > :07:27.undermine the teacher- pupil relationship, undermine trust, it
:07:28. > :07:30.would be almost like being a prison order and not a teacher, if
:07:31. > :07:32.incidents arose it could possibly escalate them. And away from the
:07:33. > :07:34.glare of publicity surrounding the report today the family and friends
:07:35. > :07:37.of Bailey Gwynne are quietly finalising plans for a stained glass
:07:38. > :07:39.window in his memory. The life and death of the gentle, considered
:07:40. > :07:45.young man forever woven into the fabric of the school. Reporting
:07:46. > :07:47.Scotland, Aberdeen. Tell us about some of the other recommendations in
:07:48. > :07:55.the report. Some are specific to Aberdeen City
:07:56. > :08:01.Council, from now on any weapon found in an Aberdeenshire School
:08:02. > :08:04.will be reported to police. Some recommendations are wider, they
:08:05. > :08:08.include, whether anything more can be done to stop children or young
:08:09. > :08:12.people from buying weapons online. We know that Bailey Gwynne's killer
:08:13. > :08:20.bought knives and other weapons online. The queries about whether
:08:21. > :08:25.this can be stopped, never mind curtailed. Police Scotland said
:08:26. > :08:29.today that since this incident at Cults Academy last October 15 might
:08:30. > :08:34.incidents have been reported in Aberdeen schools. The basic message
:08:35. > :08:38.from today is, changes can be made, laws can be changed but ultimately
:08:39. > :08:39.it comes down to getting the message across to pupils and parents that
:08:40. > :08:44.the taking of weapons, including across to pupils and parents that
:08:45. > :08:46.knives into schools, is just not acceptable. Thank you, Steve and
:08:47. > :08:48.death, in Aberdeen. The number of murders
:08:49. > :08:50.in Scotland has fallen again, according to official
:08:51. > :08:52.statistics just released. In the year to the end
:08:53. > :08:56.of March, 57 victims of homicide were recorded,
:08:57. > :08:58.down five on the previous That's more than half
:08:59. > :09:01.the figure nine years ago. Only one of those cases remained
:09:02. > :09:07.unsolved. Obese children are five times more
:09:08. > :09:16.likely to become obese adults. So it is a concern when a new
:09:17. > :09:22.figures show that in recent years more than in ten children have
:09:23. > :09:24.started primary school in Scotland are overweight or obese.
:09:25. > :09:25.The statistics come from Cancer Research UK
:09:26. > :09:28.which is urging the the government to do more to tackle the problem.
:09:29. > :09:39.What colour? Mother of three Kirsty Thomas and wants to make sure that
:09:40. > :09:44.her children eat healthily. She found herself four stone overweight
:09:45. > :09:49.after consuming too much convenience food and sugary snacks. It was when
:09:50. > :09:57.I was in soft play with my eldest son for his third birthday I sat
:09:58. > :10:01.down and my jeans ripped and it is a wake up call, I was really upset and
:10:02. > :10:05.could not look at myself in the middle. She now weighs a much
:10:06. > :10:10.healthier limestone but that is not the case of everyone. Cancer
:10:11. > :10:15.Research UK says Scotland has one of the heaviest populations in Europe.
:10:16. > :10:20.It says over the last decade almost 83,000 children have started school
:10:21. > :10:23.either overweight or obese. Now the charity wants the Scottish
:10:24. > :10:27.Government to take direct action by restricting the billboard
:10:28. > :10:32.advertising of junk food and cutting multi-buy and sensible markets. And
:10:33. > :10:38.cancer prevention specialists say action is needed right now. We know
:10:39. > :10:42.overweight or obesity is linked to 13 types of cancer cell unless we
:10:43. > :10:46.help those children to become healthier in the future will have
:10:47. > :10:50.more overweight obese adults and that's a real worry. The Scottish
:10:51. > :10:55.Government says it will consider taking action where it has the power
:10:56. > :10:59.to do so. We would give consideration to the multi-byte. We
:11:00. > :11:03.will look at that as part of the obesity strategy going forward,
:11:04. > :11:07.we've already begun to but some consideration onto that but there is
:11:08. > :11:14.obviously very limited advertising powers that we have, we could do
:11:15. > :11:17.things around billboards in the cinema but TV advertising, the UK
:11:18. > :11:20.Government needs to do that. Ministers want all parents to help

:12:24. > :12:32.campaign. Convinced that despite failing to
:12:33. > :12:36.reach the university could take the team to Russia 2018. Yet after just
:12:37. > :12:41.two games into qualifying questions have been asked about his desire to
:12:42. > :12:45.continue the task. Gordon Strachan doesn't want to be there any more as
:12:46. > :12:52.Scotland manager. I think his comments in the summer were
:12:53. > :12:57.appalling. He said that Scotland was a nation of scared footballers! And
:12:58. > :13:02.I think the impact that would have had on the players at that time,
:13:03. > :13:07.they would have been totally disgruntled. Fans began to question
:13:08. > :13:13.some of Gordon Strachan 's decisions but other players doing the same? I
:13:14. > :13:16.think Gordon Strachan and his players have a good relationship. I
:13:17. > :13:21.think what he says to the media and what he says in house will be two
:13:22. > :13:25.very different things. I just think sometimes the way he portrays
:13:26. > :13:30.himself in the media, at press conferences, does not India him to
:13:31. > :13:33.the fans of the media but he knows that, but it doesn't endear him.
:13:34. > :13:40.He's been in the game long enough. That is the thing. As Scotland seek
:13:41. > :13:44.to restore the positivity they meet a nation of a similar size although
:13:45. > :13:50.that is when the similarities end. When it comes to footballing
:13:51. > :13:54.superstars Slovakia have the experience of Marek Hamsik, Robert
:13:55. > :13:59.Snodgrass, arguably the top man for Scotland, doesn't have the same
:14:00. > :14:04.pedigree. Slovakia made the last 16 of the Euros in the summer and 2% of
:14:05. > :14:09.the 2010 World Cup. Scotland, as if anyone needed a reminder, haven't
:14:10. > :14:14.been near an international competition since 1998. What are
:14:15. > :14:20.Slovakia doing right? I think the good generation. Players who are now
:14:21. > :14:28.in the national team almost ten years, many players started very
:14:29. > :14:32.young, and another generation has kept going and qualified twice.
:14:33. > :14:39.Perhaps these Scotland fans should not fret too much, that opponents
:14:40. > :14:43.have started the campaign poorly with important players either
:14:44. > :14:47.injured or excluded for indiscipline. Neither side going
:14:48. > :14:50.into the match in great battle, Slovakia struggled when I saw them
:14:51. > :14:54.in Slovenia on Saturday and clearly Scotland did not get the result they
:14:55. > :14:58.were before against Lithuania. Both sides will have to be better tonight
:14:59. > :15:03.to get the victory. Neither side can afford to lose the match. If there
:15:04. > :15:06.is a loser they are already out of contention for second place in the
:15:07. > :15:11.World Cup qualifiers which they are looking forward to at least get a
:15:12. > :15:15.play-off place in the World Cup in Russia 2018. Gordon Strachan says

:16:18. > :16:22.longest free-standing balanced structure anywhere in the world ever
:16:23. > :16:25.made. Basically, it's like a massive see saw centred around that tower in
:16:26. > :16:30.the centre section here of the bridge. Over here, this is the south
:16:31. > :16:34.side of the bridge, but what is really quite unnerving, right here
:16:35. > :16:40.on the very, very end of this section is, there is the water down
:16:41. > :16:44.there. You can see how much we are moving up-and-down. When the wind
:16:45. > :16:47.really picks up, it can move a meter, a meter-and-a-half. Of
:16:48. > :16:53.course, the record will not stand for very long because this 230mm gap
:16:54. > :16:57.will be closed. That means that the record is gone, because it's no
:16:58. > :17:01.longer a free-standing structure. Right now the record-breaking centre
:17:02. > :17:05.deck team can brag across the gap to their colleagues on the southern
:17:06. > :17:09.deck. The record was for central tower, South Tower can't take much
:17:10. > :17:13.of the plaudit for that. Very good for the team. It's great to be able
:17:14. > :17:16.to talk to the guys face-to-face rather than pick up the phone or the

:21:13. > :21:20.This is a story can about the power of storytelling and how a good tale
:21:21. > :21:25.can last a lifetime. It began when Joan Porter was a young nurse on the
:21:26. > :21:33.other hand a children's ward. When I was on night duty and the children,
:21:34. > :21:39.you would get new children in and upset, needing their mum, I would
:21:40. > :21:43.find out if they had pets or, you know, their favourite animal. I
:21:44. > :21:51.would just make up a story there and then. I would say... "Now, I've only
:21:52. > :21:57.told you the first chapter, if you get over to sleep, I'll tell you the
:21:58. > :21:59.rest tomorrow." Joan's children, grandchildren and great
:22:00. > :22:03.grandchildren have groan up with her stories. They didn't realise until
:22:04. > :22:07.recently that she'd written them all down in the hope of one day
:22:08. > :22:12.publishing them. It was a lady who comes in here to do storytelling, in
:22:13. > :22:15.this place where mum lives, she had said to mum, these are wonderful,
:22:16. > :22:19.you should really think about getting them published. She actually
:22:20. > :22:25.typed up all mum's hand written stories. When I found them, mum had
:22:26. > :22:28.said, "someone kindly typed up my stories." I said, this is a sign, we
:22:29. > :22:34.should really do something with them. So they found a publisher and
:22:35. > :22:38.although the books are for the three to seven age group they have been
:22:39. > :22:44.equally important for Joan who has Alzheimer's. It helps with the sense
:22:45. > :22:49.of identity. The thing that mostly people in that frame of mind they
:22:50. > :22:55.miss is who they are. You know, and it helps them feel, oh, yes, I'm the
:22:56. > :22:59.person who wrote this book. Since her late career as an author, Joan
:23:00. > :23:06.has received many messages of support as well as requests to
:23:07. > :23:09.appear at book festivals. The end. APPLAUSE
:23:10. > :23:12.Using a hay bale as a unicycle, pedalling over a cottage

:23:35. > :23:40.his bike stunts on the web. Since then he has featured in music videos
:23:41. > :23:50.and promotional campaigns. That's nuts!
:23:51. > :24:01.When you see something like that, I don't know how he does it. We showed
:24:02. > :24:07.his latest video A Wee Day Out to these BMXors and skateboarders. Just
:24:08. > :24:12.lean down, commit to it. It tells you everything you need to hear to
:24:13. > :24:16.land the jump. It seems no obstacle is too big or steep for Danny
:24:17. > :24:22.MacAskill. You can't ride on a house like that. The things he does on a
:24:23. > :24:28.bike is something else. It's crazy. I wish I could do that, you know.
:24:29. > :24:32.It's not simple though. Even professionals can be defeated by
:24:33. > :24:39.gravity. The solution - pick yourself up, get back in the saddle
:24:40. > :24:43.and keep trying. Ahhhh! Well as Danny MacAskill's skills the film
:24:44. > :24:52.shows the Scottish countryside at its best, if not its most relaxing.

:25:14. > :25:20.no, that is a matter for the police. We'll debate tonight 10.30pm on BBC
:25:21. > :25:24.Two Scotland. The weather: Autoed evening to you. We have had a
:25:25. > :25:27.wonderful settled spell of weather. It's this cast iron area of high
:25:28. > :25:31.pressure over Scandinavia that has been responsible. We have been very
:25:32. > :25:34.lucky. Things are set to slowly change as we head through the week.
:25:35. > :25:38.You can see there is low pressure that will push in across France and
:25:39. > :25:43.Spain as we head through the week. What that will do is squeeze the
