The Chief Executive of Aberdeen City Council is to look | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
at which senior managers should be held accountable for its handling | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
A report being published tomorrow will consider the authority's | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
response to a national investigation which heavily criticised the way | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
babies were cremated at the same time as adults. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
But BBC Scotland has learnt a second independent report, | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
understood to criticise senior officials, won't be published. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
The main difference between these two reports is that one is heavily | :00:32. | :00:43. | |
critical of certain individuals at the council, we understand, that is | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
the one that is not going to be made public. The other one, the one we | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
have seen this evening, which will be published tomorrow, is seemingly | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
much more thwarted down. It is 84 pages long and detailed exactly what | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
the council has done in response to the criticism of practices at Hazel | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
head, but it does not talk about individuals. There is a crucial bit | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
in it that says the chief executive is considering our strategic | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
responsibility -- how it has been managed at the very top. We know | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
only a junior manager has so far been sacked, and goes on to talk | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
about what action should flow from this, so whether there should be any | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
disciplinary action as a consequence. The leader of the SNP | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
group at the council here, the main opposition, says it is about time | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
somebody took responsible to. It is key from my perspective that the | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
public now we are seeking accountability, that someone is held | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
accountable or people are held accountable for the mistakes which | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
were made. Will head to roll in the end? It would be my expectation, and | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
it will be my expectation that people will be held accountable for | :01:55. | :01:55. | |
their mistakes. The report will be people will be held accountable for | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
published tomorrow morning at 10am on the council's website and | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
councillors will get to debate it on webs -- Wednesday. | :02:04. | :02:04. | |
It's been an historic day at the Olympics with Andy Murray | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
taking gold and becoming the first tennis player to win | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
The medal tally for Scottish athletes has now reached 12, | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
our best ever for an overseas Olympics. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
Our Olympics reporter Jane Lewis has the details. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
The athletes village in Rio, home to those competing in the games, and | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
for those living in this apartment block, what games they are shaping | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
up to be. Team GB chalked up their 38th medal by close of play last | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
night, gold for Andy Murray. Andy Murray is a double Olympic gold | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
medallist! It has been a great few months for me, I'm very happy with | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
how my tennis is going, obviously. I am glad to have won another gold | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
medal. On a personal note it was a remarkable achievement, he is now a | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
two time Olympic champion. And as a figurehead Team GB, this man who | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
knows Andy Murray well believes his victory could inspire further | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
success. As soon as he set foot in Rio, you could see how much this | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
meant to him. You can see what this meant to him, you could see him | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
talking to the other athletes, always aware of the other sports and | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
the permutations of who needs what to qualify. Team GB have had an | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
astonishing couple of days in Rio. Scottish athletes have played their | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
part in that. Off the back of World Championships and World Cups we knew | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
we were on the back foot, and coming into this, we would have taken | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
another few months of preparation. To get medals in my first Olympics, | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
I am just overjoyed, really. The young Stirling swimmer hanging in | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
there for a silver medal for Great Britain! Before that the medals kept | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
on coming, another silver for sterling's Duncan Scott. And other | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Scots could yet add to the medal tally of | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
Isle of Lewis is still weeks away, according to the official | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
The rig has lost more than 12,000 gallons of diesel | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
It is now just over one week since this oil rig came ashore on the West | :04:19. | :04:33. | |
Coast of Lewis. Six more salvaged personnel were put on board raising | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
numbers to 14. Generators have been restarted as well. With the weather | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
forecast calm this week, it is expected that preparations to | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
refloat the rig can progress more quickly. More work over the next 48 | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
hours, looking at the towage plan, when we do come to the refloat, | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
trying to identify a safe route to get the rig from the rocks into | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
deeper water and safer back out to sea. A day like today shows clearly | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
the incongruity of this leviathan of the deep coming ashore on a beauty | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
spot like this. But today has also seen a range of activities that | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
could see its early disappearance. The local community Association has | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
called a meeting this evening to let people are their views. Probably our | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
biggest concern is, will she actually thought. She comes in at | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
17,000 tonnes, that is a lot of structure to toe. The worst scenario | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
possible is that this becomes her graveyard. That is too horrendous to | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
contemplate, so we're hoping that variable to repair her and do | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
whatever is necessary to float her off safely. And soon. It has emerged | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
that part of the 280,000 tonnes of diesel on-board -- 280 tonnes of | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
diesel on-board has floated off. So far there have been no reports of | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
pollution. Salvaged set up a line between the rig in the short to | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
allow lighter items to be transferred, but heavier equipment | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
could come in by heavy -- helicopter. Local people just want | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
to see the rig from now. -- gone. There are fears in Moray | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
that the army base at Kinloss may face the axe as part | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
of a sell-off programme by the The former air base became | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
a barracks four years ago when the RAF's | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Nimrod fleet was scrapped. But local politicians say | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
the Ministry of Defence is now The MOD has already placed 22 | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
military properties on the market but says no decisions have been | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
taken about further sell-offs. It has been a beautiful day and a | :06:31. | :06:52. | |
dry night for follow, with some mist and fog patches for eastern areas as | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
we head into tomorrow morning. These will quickly melt away to leave | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
another guiding with long spells of broken sunshine -- unbroken | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
sunshine. Temperatures will peak around 25, perhaps even 26 Celsius, | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
widely around 28 -- 20-24d. Cooler along coastal areas, with a breeze | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
from the south are South East, and for the extreme east coast, sea | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
breezes developing here. Into Wednesday, high-pressure dominating | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
from the north-east, preventing this weather front from making inroads | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
into much of the country. However, we will begin to see cloud | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
thickening along western coastal areas, especially on Wednesday | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
afternoon, with perhaps some light and patchy rain. Elsewhere, however, | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
it remains dry, we will see plenty of sunshine once again, and in the | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
best of the sunshine temperatures will peak at around 23, if not 24 | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Celsius. That's nice. Our next update is at | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
6:25am tomorrow, but from everyone on the latest team, good | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
This is a dog toy I chew to release tension before a fight. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
