sight to privilege? How can the Corbyn as possibly object? | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
More than 1,900 offences of possessing indecent images | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
of children have been recorded by Police Scotland in | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The NSPCC, which obtained the figures, is calling on internet | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
companies to do more to tackle the problem and for greater | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson, reports. | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
These are the images of some of the paedophiles convicted | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
recently of possessing indecent images of children. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
PhD student James Hudson was jailed last June for 18 months. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Police IT worker Barry Rankin had more than 300,000 indecent | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
images on his computer and is serving five years. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
Paedophile David Logan was placed on the six offenders register | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
for ten years at Dumbarton Sheriff Court. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
In the past three years Police Scotland has recorded more | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
than 1900 offences of possessing indecent child images, | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
that's well over the total for the Metropolitan Police, | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
Last year saw a 17% rise in offences in Scotland compared to 2014. | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
Police Scotland says it's because they are taking a proactive | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
For the past three years Police Scotland have been committed | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
to keeping children safe and part of that key priority has been | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
to tackle the emerging national threat that we now recognise | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
as being the threat of online child sexual abuse. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Because of that it is indicative of the increase. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Children's charities are calling on the digital industry to commit | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
significant expertise and resources to prevent the publication | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
We know that a lot of grooming and sharing of images takes place | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
via social media and we think there is a lot more the industry | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
could do to tackle this kind of offending via their platforms. | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
A lot of the harmful images children come across come via social media | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
and it's quite unregulated so we want the industry to step up | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
to do more to make sure they are protecting children as much | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Earlier this year police seized computers in a major operation | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
which led to 77 arrests and the recovery of 30 | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
The NSPCC which obtained today's figures through freedom | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
of information said they clearly show a growing problem of people | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
A conduct hearing has heard the social worker assigned | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
to murdered toddler Liam Fee failed to take necessary steps | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
Child Protection Team leader Karen Pedder has been giving | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
evidence to the Scottish Social Services Council in Dundee. | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Karen Pedder was Lesley Bates's manager in the child protection team | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
in Fife and she said they had an extremely high caseload | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
but that Lesley Bates was no higher than anybody else. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
She acknowledged there were internal divisions within their team but says | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
she encouraged her staff to act professionally and not be childish | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
Lesley Bates had been assigned as a social worker to Liam Fee. | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
He was killed by his mother in March. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Miss Bates faces several charges involving 13 | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
During the trial Karen Pedder gave evidence and said Liam had | :03:19. | :03:41. | |
dropped off the radar because his social worker had gone off sick. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Today Karen Pedder told the conduct hearing at the Scottish social | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
services council in Dundee she believed Lesley Bates had not | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
She said despite concerns she didn't have specific systems in place | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
She said she tended to keep lots of information on her | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
head speaking to staff at regular supervisory meetings. | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
She was asked why it was that with vulnerable children at risk nothing | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
She said Bates was charged with doing that. | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
Lesley Bates has chosen not to appear at the | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
hearing and faces being struck off the social work register. | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
The Serious Case Review is being carried out | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
into the failings of social services in Fife to protect Liam Fee. | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
A total of 1,000 Syrian refugees are now living in Scotland. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
It follows the arrival of 120 more refugees last week. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
John McManus reports from an Edinburgh community centre | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
where some of the new arrivals are being taught English. | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
This is the reality of life in Syria, a country which has now | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
been at war with itself for five years. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
There is no sign the various factions will lay | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
For some of those who have escaped like these refugees taking English | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
classes today in Edinburgh, Scotland's generosity | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Passing the 1,000 person mark means that Scotland has taken | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
about a third of the entire UK total of refugees from Syria | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
English lessons are just one of the classes that refugees | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
It is a skill they will need to get their heads around to become | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
proficient in if they want to make a success of their time in Scotland. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
But one of those who has come from Syria says he may | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
When Syria will be good I will come back, yes. | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
My sisters and my brother are in Syria now. | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
He has worked in telecoms and sales, skills that Scotland can use. | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
But does the government think the new arrivals | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
It's important people from all different faiths, backgrounds | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
We have a good record of that in Scotland. | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
There is always more work to do and that's | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
where the Scottish Government invests heavily in community | :06:14. | :06:14. | |
Angela Constance won't put an upper limit on the number of refugees | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
Syrians are now living in almost all of the country's | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
As this thank you letter to the First Minister | :06:28. | :06:37. | |
shows they are profoundly grateful for the safe haven | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
Perhaps inevitably, though, the Scottish weather | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
John McManus, Reporting Scotland, Edinburgh. | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
A 29-year-old man has been charged in connection with an incident | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
in which a toddler fell from a flat window in South Lanarkshire. | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Emergency services were called to Kirkwood Street, in Rutherglen, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
The two-year-old boy was taken to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
University Hospital where he's still believed to be | :07:07. | :07:07. | |
Doubts remain over the Army's future use of a 250-year-old former | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
The SNP has concerns that Fort George at Ardersier, | :07:13. | :07:24. | |
near Inverness, is to stop functioning as a barracks as part | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
It currently a base for soldiers of the Black Watch. | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
The Scottish Secretary David Mundell said he could not confirm at this | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
stage the military's future use of the barracks. | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
The MoD is engaged in a widescale review of all it promises across the | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
United Kingdom. It isn't going to make any statement about any | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
individual premises until that review is complete. I don't think | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
negative speculation is particularly helpful because it's always easy to | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
suggest that a particular base is going to close, knowing the MoD | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
isn't going to be able to deny that until the review is complete. | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
The Scottish Labour leader has launched her alternative | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
programme for government, five days before the First Minister | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
lays out her plans for the new parliamentary year. | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
Kezia Dugdale says she's putting forward a "serious agenda | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
"for change" with 13 proposed bills, including an education bill to help | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
close the attainment gap and a law to ban fracking. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
The SNP say Labour's actual programme for government | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
was rejected by voters in May's election, but Ms Dugdale | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
insists she's focussing on what matters to people. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
The SNP once again have announced they are going to have a campaign | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
for independence and I actually think Nicola Sturgeon should go back | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
to the Parliament next week and focusing on the bread-and-butter | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
issues affecting Scottish people, the quality of schools, NHS, | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
the care elderly people get, how to eradicate fuel | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Those are just three of the programmes we have | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
on our bill put forward to the Parliament next week | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
reflecting what Scottish people want and moving away | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
It's more than two months since the European Union referendum. | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
And the focus now is very much on how and when Brexit | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
But the Electoral Reform Society has been looking back at the campaign | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
and today released a highly critical report, saying there were "glaring | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
"democratic deficiencies" with voters left | :09:27. | :09:27. | |
I'm joined from Holyrood by our political | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
The Electoral Reform Society examining the campaign up until June | :09:34. | :09:45. | |
23 vote, they've been looking at the leave camp and remain camp and the | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
terror into them. They say their campaigns were ill informed, | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
negative and dominated by big political beasts on each side. So, | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
they say reforms should be put in place in case there is another | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
referendum, whenever that may be, so, to that end, they suggest | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
allowing 16 and 17-year-olds the chance to vote so people get engaged | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
in the political process, as they did in Scotland in 2014. They want a | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
six-month campaign for the actual running up into the referendum | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
period. It was only for McManas for the EU referendum. And they want an | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
adjudication for the claims and counterclaims of both sides. That | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
might be a hard one to instead. They praise the Scottish referendum by | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
contrast and say Scotland became a hotbed of political spaces up and | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
down the country. The SNP have welcomed that, criticising the UK | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Government. Of course, speaking to unionists, they say, hang on, don't | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
get carried away. They claim the independence referendum was negative | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
and divisive, and they say they were glad to see the back of it. At the | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
end of the day, one has to be realistic, one has to be pragmatic | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
about politics. It can be a brutal and sometimes a pretty miserable | :11:08. | :11:08. | |
business. Well, it's over to the weather | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
outlook for tonight and tomorrow. Good evening. Most of us have had | :11:11. | :11:20. | |
some spells of rain so far today. That continues to clear bubble away | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
during tonight to leave largely dry conditions with some cloud spells. | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
Just a few showers affecting the north-west primarily and a fairly | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
mild might come for most of us, too. Tomorrow brings us a mixture of | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
sunshine and showers, the showers initially heaviest and most frequent | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
across the north-west, becoming more widespread through the course of the | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
day. Taking a closer look at 4pm tomorrow, some heavy and at times | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
frequent showers across the Western Isles across much of the Highlands, | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
and the Northern Isles, two, with the old rumble of thunder, | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
temperatures 15-17. Plenty of sunshine across the Northeast and | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
just a few showers. In the sunshine inland, temperatures reached 21 | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Celsius, not too bad for this time of year at all. Through much of | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
central and southern Scotland, a lot of dry weather to come with some | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
showers with highs of 18. For the rest of the UK tomorrow afternoon, | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
for Northern Ireland, a similar story to Scotland with sunshine and | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
showers. It's an improving picture across north in England and Wales. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
The south-east, however, holding onto cloudy conditions with light | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
and patchy rain and highs of 21. On tomorrow evening, showers continue | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
towards the west and north-west, then as we head into Saturday, we | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
have low pressure in charge and we then as we head into Saturday, we | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
are expecting heavy rain to reach our shores. At this stage, the rain | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
will push through Wales. Northern Ireland will have a mixture of | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
sunshine and showers were the top temperature of 19 in Scotland. On | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Sunday, the low pressure remains in charge, fairly cloudy with showers | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
at times, too. Our next update is during Breakfast | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
at 6:25am tomorrow. But, from everyone on the late team | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
here in Glasgow and around | :13:21. | :13:24. |
