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

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
