:00:00. > :00:00.is all from us. Now on BBC One begin joined the

:00:00. > :00:08.Hundreds of women have continued to receive mesh implants -

:00:09. > :00:11.despite calls for operations to be suspended following

:00:12. > :00:25.You trust your doctors, you don't think you're going to be harmed.

:00:26. > :00:27.We'll be asking why is this procedure still being done?

:00:28. > :00:30.Also on the programme, The full report into the death

:00:31. > :00:32.of Aberdeen schoolboy Bailey Gwynne is published -

:00:33. > :00:36.but large sections are heavily redacted.

:00:37. > :00:39.Plans for 600 jobs in the Highlands as the UK's last remaining aluminium

:00:40. > :00:52.after the national side wore poppies to mark Armistice day.

:00:53. > :00:55.And as Andy Murray wins Sports Personality of

:00:56. > :00:58.the year for a third time - is there now a case

:00:59. > :01:20.for considering tennis as Scotland's new national sport?

:01:21. > :01:23.Hundreds of mesh implant operations have been performed

:01:24. > :01:25.in Scotland despite ministers suspending their use

:01:26. > :01:28.because of potential health complications.

:01:29. > :01:31.Figures obtained by the BBC show that more than 400 women have

:01:32. > :01:33.received mesh and mesh tape implants - usually used for pelvic

:01:34. > :01:36.and incontinence problems - since June 2014 when the then health

:01:37. > :01:37.secretary called for their suspension.

:01:38. > :01:50.Our political correspondent Lucy Adams has this exclusive report.

:01:51. > :02:00.Hospital treatment is meant to make patients feel better but not for

:02:01. > :02:09.Gillian who needs crutches to get round. I thought I would be fined.

:02:10. > :02:18.Gillian had a mesh implant in 2011. It is meant to be a standard

:02:19. > :02:21.procedure. You trust your doctor. You don't think you will be harmed.

:02:22. > :02:27.Life as I knew it completely changed. I lost my career and I lost

:02:28. > :02:40.everything. Life was completely destroyed. This is polypropylene,

:02:41. > :02:48.the same material used to wrap newspapers and to make mash

:02:49. > :02:53.implants. It can contract, it can break up in the body, I know of

:02:54. > :03:03.women who have lost their bladder and kidney. How they can put this

:03:04. > :03:10.into bodies I have no idea. It was suspended back in 2014. That was

:03:11. > :03:16.following pleas from women suffering debilitating side-effects. Figures

:03:17. > :03:23.show that more than 400 women have had it since the recommended

:03:24. > :03:29.suspension. The BBC has learned Greater Glasgow health board has

:03:30. > :03:35.conducted 178 of such operations. For some procedures this is the only

:03:36. > :03:39.choice. They either live with their symptoms or have these mesh

:03:40. > :03:44.procedures. So it is their only chance of some benefit and of having

:03:45. > :03:53.a benefit that lets them get out of the house. But this consultant who's

:03:54. > :03:56.been advising the Scottish Government on these procedures says

:03:57. > :04:01.there is at least two other forms of surgery which should be offered but

:04:02. > :04:08.which ministers cannot stop the use of mesh. Only the MHRA could ban it

:04:09. > :04:15.from the whole of the UK but the government could suggest to health

:04:16. > :04:18.boards and clinicians to consider suspending these until we find

:04:19. > :04:27.exactly where the problem lies, is it in the device, the procedure, the

:04:28. > :04:31.surgeons or the patient's? Hundreds of women are taking legal action is.

:04:32. > :04:35.They want answers as to why they received something which had been

:04:36. > :04:41.directed as not to be used until further investigations were carried

:04:42. > :04:42.out. Gillian and Oliver are working together to support other

:04:43. > :04:49.out. Gillian and Oliver are working suffering as a result of these

:04:50. > :04:53.operations. -- Olive are. Or than 400 are taking legal action against

:04:54. > :04:54.health boards and manufacturers but if the procedure continues that

:04:55. > :04:57.figure is expected to keep going up. So given the fact that the Scottish

:04:58. > :05:04.government wants a stop to the use of mesh implants and legal

:05:05. > :05:07.action is being taken why are surgeons still using them,

:05:08. > :05:19.Lucy? It seems complicated on the face of

:05:20. > :05:24.it and to understand it you need to look back at the history. From the

:05:25. > :05:30.1970s through the 1990s surgeons tended to use what was essentially

:05:31. > :05:37.stitches. This developed into using a person's human tissue to create a

:05:38. > :05:41.sling to fix the bladder. 20 years ago, implants came on the scene,

:05:42. > :05:45.they were seen as a great thing, much more effective and easier to

:05:46. > :05:53.use, they could be done in surgery and it made them cheaper. But we had

:05:54. > :05:58.this intervention by the government in 2014. The health board have taken

:05:59. > :06:04.this as guidance. What we know from the responses that I got is some

:06:05. > :06:09.health boards stopped altogether, they said they would wait until the

:06:10. > :06:13.investigations had been done because while they were seen as a great

:06:14. > :06:20.thing, we had women coming forward with severe complications, but the

:06:21. > :06:28.government cannot actually stop them from using these. They can consult

:06:29. > :06:33.with patients, tell them about safety risks and go through that but

:06:34. > :06:37.in exceptional circumstances, if health boards want to go ahead they

:06:38. > :06:37.can still do so. Thank you very much.

:06:38. > :06:40.More doctors and nurses and more services in the community -

:06:41. > :06:42.just a couple of the government's proposals to transform

:06:43. > :06:48.They're contained in a blue-print for change published today.

:06:49. > :07:05.It's a busy day in this West Lothian surgery. Increasingly busy and under

:07:06. > :07:08.pressure, Doctor George Mackie says there are lots of good things about

:07:09. > :07:14.the way the health service is changing but lots of challenges if

:07:15. > :07:17.it is going to be a success. Personally where I work one of the

:07:18. > :07:22.biggest challenges is recruitment. We've advertised recently for a

:07:23. > :07:28.replacement partner and we had no applicants at all. That is where the

:07:29. > :07:35.situation is now. That's the biggest challenge. Recruitment to enhance

:07:36. > :07:39.security services is a priority, say the government. The NHS is going

:07:40. > :07:42.through unprecedented change and the government want to see more people

:07:43. > :07:46.living healthier longer lives at home but that puts a lot of pressure

:07:47. > :07:51.on the front line and community services. It makes a real difference

:07:52. > :07:57.to the character of the building and how you approach things. This is

:07:58. > :08:03.what it may look like, GP hubs with all sorts of services, pharmacists,

:08:04. > :08:07.Cancer support, all sorts of things can be accessed under one roof. The

:08:08. > :08:12.NHS has always looked after people very well if you became sick. If you

:08:13. > :08:18.became diabetic we would offer you good diabetic management. A more

:08:19. > :08:23.interesting question might be, what could be done better to stop people

:08:24. > :08:26.progressing to diabetes in the first place? The government wants to

:08:27. > :08:33.reduce the number of unnecessary stays in hospital, a 10% drop in

:08:34. > :08:38.delayed discharge. It will push forward with unpopular moves to

:08:39. > :08:43.transfer specialisms to bigger centres. Local hospitals will still

:08:44. > :08:47.have the services that people rely on, some of the more specialist

:08:48. > :08:53.services that people might require once or twice in a lifetime, will be

:08:54. > :08:58.organised on a regional basis, so we are asking and tasking boards to

:08:59. > :09:03.plan these on a regional basis. 40% of the budget is spent on health.

:09:04. > :09:07.There's a lot on stake in getting the future of the NHS right.

:09:08. > :09:10.A heavily redacted report into the killing last year of a boy

:09:11. > :09:15.at an Aberdeen school has been released.

:09:16. > :09:17.The conclusions and recommendations were released in October.

:09:18. > :09:19.Our reporter Rebecca Curran is live at the school

:09:20. > :09:24.where Bailey Gwynne was killed, Rebecca.

:09:25. > :09:27.Remind us of the circumstances of this tragedy.

:09:28. > :09:29.16 year old Bailey Gwynne was stabbed during a fight

:09:30. > :09:31.with a fellow pupil here at Cults Academy

:09:32. > :09:35.His killer, who was also 16, is serving nine years

:09:36. > :09:43.A review conducted by child protection expert Andrew Lowe found

:09:44. > :09:50.Bailey's death was "potentially avoidable if those who knew his

:09:51. > :09:51.killer carried weapons had told a teacher."

:09:52. > :09:54.Mr Lowe made 5 conclusions and 21 recommendations in total

:09:55. > :09:59.But the full report was kept private due to data

:10:00. > :10:06.But today the city council released a heavily redacted version.

:10:07. > :10:12.In fact much of the 67 pages look like this.

:10:13. > :10:18.Well, the section on the background of Bailey and his killer

:10:19. > :10:22.who is described as child A has been fully redacted.

:10:23. > :10:27.All information about previous concerns raised about the killer

:10:28. > :10:30.and a complaint that was made have been withheld.

:10:31. > :10:33.The only apparent criticism is levelled at a city

:10:34. > :10:40.councillor for taking part in a media interview.

:10:41. > :10:42.So why has the report been so heacily redacted, Rebecca?

:10:43. > :10:47.Well, in October when the recommendations and conclusions

:10:48. > :10:50.were released, the city council's chief executive Angela Scott said

:10:51. > :10:53.the full report wasn't being published because it contained

:10:54. > :10:57.a great deal of sensitive, confidential and legally

:10:58. > :11:02.Mr Lowe conducted 43 face to face interviews

:11:03. > :11:06.and over the past weeks each person is understood to have been asked

:11:07. > :11:08.if they are happy to have what they said published.

:11:09. > :11:13.What is now apparent is that most of them said no.

:11:14. > :11:16.Now what's not clear is on what grounds any of those

:11:17. > :11:20.If they were allowed to object only on the basis of legal

:11:21. > :11:22.or data protection grounds, or if they could refuse

:11:23. > :11:24.because they were upset or embarrassed to have

:11:25. > :11:33.Plans have been unveiled to create up to 600 jobs and invest ?120m

:11:34. > :11:35.at the site of the UK's last remaining aluminium

:11:36. > :11:40.It's hoped the site could eventually manufacture alloy wheels for cars.

:11:41. > :11:55.It is the last remaining aluminium smelter in the UK, relying on its

:11:56. > :11:59.own hydropower scheme to produce the massive amounts of electricity

:12:00. > :12:04.needed for the process. A review of its assets by the previous owners

:12:05. > :12:09.led to concerns it could be closed with the loss of 170 jobs. Now with

:12:10. > :12:13.the sale of the smelter the future is not only bright spot could be

:12:14. > :12:19.positively booming. Our plan is not to stop aluminium but make

:12:20. > :12:26.components which are very high value products. The first phase is alloy

:12:27. > :12:34.wheels. That creates 300 jobs and many more indirectly. The First

:12:35. > :12:37.Minister was on hand to take part in a traditional Hindu ceremony to mark

:12:38. > :12:44.the takeover by the company which earlier this year bought the former

:12:45. > :12:47.Tata steel plants. With ?120 million investment to be made, direct jobs

:12:48. > :12:51.Tata steel plants. With ?120 million in the supply chain, it is clearly a

:12:52. > :12:55.massive shot in the arm for the area. It does not just guaranteed

:12:56. > :12:59.the future of the aluminium smelter and the power plants and all the

:13:00. > :13:03.jobs associated with those, it heralds a bright new future for

:13:04. > :13:08.manufacturing given the plans to create a new manufacturing facility

:13:09. > :13:14.here, bringing many more jobs in the process. So this is fantastic. This

:13:15. > :13:18.smelter has been here since 1929 and remains one of the most important

:13:19. > :13:24.industrial employers in the Highlands. A good thing for us and

:13:25. > :13:30.the area. Especially myself, I'm in my fourth year here. It is a lot

:13:31. > :13:35.more positive. The chance of me having a job in the future here is

:13:36. > :13:39.excellent and really positive. Moving into making alloy wheels and

:13:40. > :13:44.car components could triple the workforce here in Lochaber. The

:13:45. > :13:47.ultimate aim is to bring steel-making to the Fort William

:13:48. > :13:54.Plant using recycled steel. That could create even more jobs.

:13:55. > :13:56.The Scottish Football Association has been fined more than 15 thousand

:13:57. > :13:59.pounds by the world governing body Fifa after the national side

:14:00. > :14:01.wore poppies during last month's World Cup qualifier

:14:02. > :14:05.Our reporter Alasdair Lamont is at Hampden Park for us tonight.

:14:06. > :14:14.What's been the reaction there, Alasdair?

:14:15. > :14:20.The decision was not an entirely surprising one but nonetheless the

:14:21. > :14:24.reaction has been one of disappointment. The Scottish FA,

:14:25. > :14:28.along with the English FA, had requested permission to wear the

:14:29. > :14:34.poppies in the match which was denied. Fifa said there was a rule

:14:35. > :14:37.over the banning of wearing political symbols. Players wore

:14:38. > :14:42.poppies regardless of that ruling, there was a display among

:14:43. > :14:46.supporters. The Scottish FA has been discussing the matter with its

:14:47. > :14:52.English counterpart but also the other home nations, all of them have

:14:53. > :14:57.been fined for similar reasons. An appeal is increasingly likely. In

:14:58. > :15:02.terms of the finds, the Conservative MP Maurice Corrie gave us this

:15:03. > :15:06.reaction. Frankly, I am appalled at this position, it is disgraceful

:15:07. > :15:11.they've come to that decision, when you think of the commitment many

:15:12. > :15:17.football teams and players made in the waters, the Heart of Midlothian

:15:18. > :15:23.club who went as an entire team to fight in the Great War and sadly

:15:24. > :15:32.many did not come back, I think it is utterly disgraceful. Certainly

:15:33. > :15:36.some strong feeling over the issue and the English FA are standing

:15:37. > :15:41.their ground, saying that they will appeal. The Scottish FA stood

:15:42. > :15:46.shoulder to shoulder with the English, it would be surprising if

:15:47. > :15:52.they backed down. I would expect an appeal to going. -- go end.

:15:53. > :15:57.You're watching BBC Reporting Scotland.

:15:58. > :16:02.Hundreds of women have received mesh implants -

:16:03. > :16:04.despite calls for operations to be suspended following

:16:05. > :16:10.A look at how work is progressing to restore the Glasgow School of Art

:16:11. > :16:17.after it was devastated by fire two years ago.

:16:18. > :16:18.The Prime Minister says she will look "very seriously"

:16:19. > :16:21.at proposals put forward by the Scottish Government

:16:22. > :16:23.The Prime Minister says she will look "very seriously"

:16:24. > :16:25.at proposals put forward by the Scottish Government

:16:26. > :16:27.on Brexit, but has stressed the negotiations to leave the EU

:16:28. > :16:31.Theresa May was speaking ahead of tomorrow's publication

:16:32. > :16:33.of the Scottish government's priorities for Brexit.

:16:34. > :16:37.Our political correspondent David Porter is at Westminster tonight.

:16:38. > :16:48.Jackie, tomorrow as you say the Scottish Government will publish its

:16:49. > :16:52.proposals for Brexit, and crucially it will look at the area of the

:16:53. > :16:57.single market, and the idea that perhaps Scotland could remain part

:16:58. > :17:02.of the single market, while the rest of the UK leaves the European Union.

:17:03. > :17:07.Now that is very important, because a recent study suggested that 80,000

:17:08. > :17:11.jobs could be lost in Scotland, if Scotland was forced out of the

:17:12. > :17:15.single market in the future. Ahead of the publication of that document

:17:16. > :17:19.today the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon rang the Prime Minister

:17:20. > :17:22.Theresa May and it is likely she outlined in very general terms the

:17:23. > :17:28.Scottish Government will be putting forward tomorrow. Coincidentally in

:17:29. > :17:32.the Commons this afternoon, the Prime Minister was answering

:17:33. > :17:37.questions on all things Brexit, and she was challenged to fully engage

:17:38. > :17:41.with the Scottish Government over the whole issue. The Prime Minister

:17:42. > :17:46.has said she will seriously engage with the Scottish Government, which

:17:47. > :17:49.is to be welcomed. She says she has a respect agenda so will the Prime

:17:50. > :17:55.Minister to meet with the First Minister to incorporate priorities

:17:56. > :17:58.of the Scottish Government in the UK negotiating position? I took a call

:17:59. > :18:01.from the First Minister this morning where I assured her we will oppose

:18:02. > :18:04.seriously other proposals the Scottish Government is bringing

:18:05. > :18:08.forward. I welcome the fact they have been looking at their

:18:09. > :18:10.priorities. We have been encouraging for the devolved administrations to

:18:11. > :18:16.look at their priorities so they can be taken into account in the UK

:18:17. > :18:20.negotiations on leaving the European Union. The Prime Minister says she

:18:21. > :18:22.is keen to hear the ideas of the devolved administrations and they

:18:23. > :18:27.can go forward to something called the joint ministerial committee that

:18:28. > :18:30.will be meeting early again next year. But Jackie tomorrow we will

:18:31. > :18:31.get a far clearer idea of how the Scottish Government sees this

:18:32. > :18:33.process going forward. A look at other stories

:18:34. > :18:44.from across the country... 2016 has been a record year for fish

:18:45. > :18:49.landings in Shetland. More than 357,000 boxes have been brought

:18:50. > :18:55.ashore between the markets. Such high levels have not been seen since

:18:56. > :18:59.1987. Shetland is the second biggest port in the UK for white fish

:19:00. > :19:03.landings after Peterhead. A controversial flood prevention

:19:04. > :19:06.scheme for white sands in Dumfries has been approved by Dumfries and

:19:07. > :19:10.Galloway Council. The project to build an embankment and glass wall

:19:11. > :19:12.along the ribbon if that considerable opposition because of

:19:13. > :19:19.the impact on the Riverview and the loss of car parking. A rogue plug

:19:20. > :19:23.fitted to an Edinburgh bench excluding the members of a golf club

:19:24. > :19:27.which bans women from sitting on it is to be removed by the council. The

:19:28. > :19:31.sign on the Princes Street bench said it was fitted on behalf of the

:19:32. > :19:37.female population of Edinburgh. Muirfield golf club decided against

:19:38. > :19:43.allowing women to become members last summer. More than 17,500 air

:19:44. > :19:47.weapons have been handed into Police Scotland over the last six months as

:19:48. > :19:53.part a nationwide amnesty. Legislation comes into force next

:19:54. > :19:57.week, which requires anyone wanting to keep for an air weapon to apply

:19:58. > :20:01.for a licence. Over 10,000 applications have been made so far.

:20:02. > :20:07.Prestwick airport could have loans totalling ?40 million from the

:20:08. > :20:07.Scottish Government by 2018, after ministers port the struggling

:20:08. > :20:12.business for a time three years ago. business for a time three years ago.

:20:13. > :20:16.-- bought the struggling business. It is hoped the airport could become

:20:17. > :20:19.the UK's first spaceport launch site and benefit from the new Heathrow

:20:20. > :20:22.runway by becoming a logistics hub. It's been quite a year

:20:23. > :20:24.for Andy Murray. As well as becoming a father

:20:25. > :20:27.for the first time, he's become the world's number one,

:20:28. > :20:29.won Wimbledon for a second time, won a second Olympic gold and become

:20:30. > :20:32.the first person to win the BBC's Sports Personality of

:20:33. > :20:34.the Year for a third time. It's also been a year to remember

:20:35. > :20:37.for Scottish tennis in general. So is there a case to be made

:20:38. > :20:40.for considering Tennis And the BBC Sports Personality

:20:41. > :21:05.of the Year 2016 is Andy Murray. CHEERING

:21:06. > :21:08.Another win for Andy Murray, but he's not our only tennis world

:21:09. > :21:11.Another win for Andy Murray, but beater. Brother Jamie is one half of

:21:12. > :21:15.the top doubles pairing, and Gordon Reid is another one in the

:21:16. > :21:23.wheelchair singles, so should tennis be our national sport? At this club

:21:24. > :21:25.was actual drum's Christmas party, a unanimous if partial view. The

:21:26. > :21:30.National sport Scotland should be tennis. Because we are far more

:21:31. > :21:37.successful at it than any other sport. Yet there is unlikely to be a

:21:38. > :21:41.Big Bash proclaiming tennis the national sport because of a national

:21:42. > :21:45.obsession. I think the criteria for a national sport is the one that

:21:46. > :21:48.garners most interest across every community, and football scores

:21:49. > :21:52.hugely high on that. We know for example that per capita more people

:21:53. > :21:57.go to professional football in Scotland than any of the other
