:00:00. > :00:14.That's all from us. Now it's time for the

:00:15. > :00:19.An Australian family facing deportation from the UK

:00:20. > :00:21.have been granted leave to remain in the Highlands.

:00:22. > :00:23.Gregg and Kathryn Brain and their son failed to meet

:00:24. > :00:26.a deadline to qualify for a new visa and were told

:00:27. > :00:30.But the couple have now found work, which meets

:00:31. > :00:41.The Brain family face a more certain future this evening, after

:00:42. > :00:43.being told the leave the UK six weeks ago,

:00:44. > :00:45.they've now found work which means they can fulfil a dream

:00:46. > :00:57.Seven months now we have been without work and,

:00:58. > :01:03.you know, struggling and fighting through this whole process.

:01:04. > :01:14.Kathryn Brain came to study in the Highland and Islands University. It

:01:15. > :01:20.was understood that she would be able to stay here, but rules are

:01:21. > :01:25.changed, making that difficult. Now she has secured a key reacher post

:01:26. > :01:29.with the hotel chain, that secures them Leave to Remain in the UK. We

:01:30. > :01:35.with the hotel chain, that secures have a brilliant employer on board.

:01:36. > :01:38.They needed to get a certificate of sponsorship for this position. The

:01:39. > :01:42.position itself meets all the criteria for the Home Office. We

:01:43. > :01:48.feel like we have been guided. We followed the path are needed to

:01:49. > :01:57.happen and we quite often found that we get reminded that things happen

:01:58. > :02:00.in the 59th minute. After a high-profile campaign was launched

:02:01. > :02:05.for them to stay, the Home Office argued that it gave the family a

:02:06. > :02:10.number of extensions, allowing them time to secure a job which would

:02:11. > :02:13.meet immigration rules. There are local MP says lessons must be

:02:14. > :02:17.learned by the ways they were treated. All this grief and effort

:02:18. > :02:23.that people have had to put up with was unnecessary. It demonstrates

:02:24. > :02:27.that we need control of immigration policy here in Scotland, so we can

:02:28. > :02:30.make decisions based on our own needs and criteria. I hope no one

:02:31. > :02:34.else has to go through this kind of thing that the family have gone

:02:35. > :02:39.through over the last couple of months. After months of living in

:02:40. > :02:43.temporary accommodation, the unallocated for a permanent home.

:02:44. > :02:47.They have one final hoop to jump through at the request of their son.

:02:48. > :02:49.What do you want to have in the backyard of this house? A

:02:50. > :02:55.trampoline. A trampoline. A social worker involved in the case

:02:56. > :02:58.of the murdered Fife toddler A watchdog found Lesley Bate guilty

:02:59. > :03:02.of twelve charges involving It said her misconduct

:03:03. > :03:04.amounted to neglect. But it also criticised her employer

:03:05. > :03:17.and some of the witnesses Panel members heard five days of

:03:18. > :03:24.evidence and today delivered their judgment on Lesley Bate is. She has

:03:25. > :03:29.stayed away. The charges against higher ran into five pages. She was

:03:30. > :03:33.found guilty on all but one of them. 12 charges involving 15 children

:03:34. > :03:39.over a three-year period. Some were at risk of physical and sexual

:03:40. > :03:45.abuse. One of those children was Liam Fee. The childminder first

:03:46. > :03:49.raised concerns in January 2013, she had a massive bruise on his

:03:50. > :03:54.forehead. There were further concerned about a neck injury. More

:03:55. > :04:00.than a year later, Liam was murdered by his mother and her partner.

:04:01. > :04:05.Lesley Bate had visited Liam's home after the first injury. His mother

:04:06. > :04:09.had said he had fallen out of his cot. Mrs Bate accepted that. She

:04:10. > :04:13.failed to follow up on the later concerns. None of these would have

:04:14. > :04:17.surprised those who feared for Liam's safety and tried to get him

:04:18. > :04:22.help. The whole community is completely knocked by this. The

:04:23. > :04:28.worst part is a lot of people were speaking up and we were not taken

:04:29. > :04:34.seriously enough. We SSSC panel found Lesley Bate left Liam Fee and

:04:35. > :04:40.other children at risk of actual or potential harm and her serious

:04:41. > :04:44.misconduct amounted to neglect. Fife Council says it has every confidence

:04:45. > :04:48.in the professionalism and integrity of the stuff they give evidence.

:04:49. > :04:52.Tonight there are calls for a wider review. It is very clear there was

:04:53. > :04:55.no joint working and the communication seems to have been

:04:56. > :04:59.extremely poor throughout this case. We need to make sure there are no

:05:00. > :05:04.others that are allowed to slip through the net. Whether the

:05:05. > :05:08.authorities could have done more to stop them, it is now being

:05:09. > :05:12.investigated by a significant case review. Fife Council declined to be

:05:13. > :05:25.interviewed today. In a statement they said, the Lesley Bate Kreis

:05:26. > :05:26.does not reflect high standards of professionalism it expects from its

:05:27. > :05:33.staff. -- Leslie baked. The Scottish Labour Party is to have

:05:34. > :05:36.more decision making power under plans agreed tonight by the UK

:05:37. > :05:39.party's ruling body - the NEC. The NEC has approved devolving

:05:40. > :05:41.control over policy constituency parties and Westminster

:05:42. > :05:42.candidate selections. The changes still have to be agreed

:05:43. > :05:46.by the Labour Party conference. This is going to be an ad hominem

:05:47. > :05:56.Scottish Labour Party. It is a stub This is going to be an ad hominem

:05:57. > :05:58.change. -- is huge change. It is good news for Scottish Labour.

:05:59. > :06:00.Almost a quarter of young women in Scotland have reported they've

:06:01. > :06:02.self-harmed that's according to a comprehensive survey

:06:03. > :06:05.It also found eight percent have attempted suicide.

:06:06. > :06:08.The figures in the Scottish Health Survey further highlight the link

:06:09. > :06:10.between poor health and anxiety with deprivation.

:06:11. > :06:18.Our home affairs correspondent Reevel Alderson has more.

:06:19. > :06:24.How do we feel about ourselves? The annual health survey highlights

:06:25. > :06:32.changes in personal well-being among Scots. It shows a level of anxiety

:06:33. > :06:38.and depression being felt. Those in the most deprived areas are more

:06:39. > :06:42.likely to suffer symptoms. 9% of women self harmed. The woman for end

:06:43. > :06:51.was 6%. Among young women, the figure is 23%. For men it is 13%. 8%

:06:52. > :06:55.of these young women and 4% of young men have attempted suicide. Mental

:06:56. > :06:58.health charities say they are not surprised by these figures. They

:06:59. > :07:02.have been receiving an increased number of calls from young people

:07:03. > :07:06.seeking help. We know from the research and evidence we have been

:07:07. > :07:09.looking at over the last couple of weeks that young women and body

:07:10. > :07:14.image is a real issue. There is a lot going on in people's lives and

:07:15. > :07:21.therefore, the increase in self harm, particularly with young women,

:07:22. > :07:25.is a way that they can control situations themselves. The health

:07:26. > :07:28.survey also reveals an increase in the number of people using

:07:29. > :07:32.electronic cigarettes and a further decline in those smoking, although

:07:33. > :07:37.it shows one in five still smokes. It also shows fewer children are

:07:38. > :07:44.exposed to second-hand smoke in the home. The survey's aim is to provide

:07:45. > :07:48.the Government information needed to tackle Scotland's health problems.

:07:49. > :07:53.We are able to look at some of the key indicators in Scottish health

:07:54. > :07:58.and be able to provide a picture of the nation's health and how that has

:07:59. > :08:03.changed over time. What we are able to see on measures like smoking, for

:08:04. > :08:07.example, is that there has been a long-term decline. Clearly,

:08:08. > :08:10.information campaigns are not enough. Only one in five Scots meets

:08:11. > :08:13.the recommendation of five portions of fruit and veg a day. That is the

:08:14. > :08:15.same level as 13 years ago. Today's health figures also show

:08:16. > :08:18.there's been almost no change in levels of physical

:08:19. > :08:20.activity in Scotland. A quarter of all children

:08:21. > :08:22.and a third of adults are failing to meet activity

:08:23. > :08:25.guidelines set by the This is despite a promise

:08:26. > :08:28.that the Commonwealth Games would inspire people

:08:29. > :08:45.to become more active. This is the sort of cheap and

:08:46. > :08:50.cheerful activity that can encourage healthy habits. We are stuck outside

:08:51. > :08:56.all day. I think it is really fine and it helps you get healthy and

:08:57. > :09:01.fit. The daily mile has been adopted by schools up and down the country.

:09:02. > :09:07.It did not have any connection to the Commonwealth Games. Glasgow 2014

:09:08. > :09:12.was clearly popular. A catalyst for regeneration in the east end of the

:09:13. > :09:16.city. It helped create a wave of elite athletes. When it comes to

:09:17. > :09:23.mass participation in sport, we do not seem to be getting the message.

:09:24. > :09:26.Why do politicians say it will? Inactivity is the second biggest

:09:27. > :09:33.killer in Scotland. The Government set targets to combat it. It is

:09:34. > :09:37.falling far short of this. Activity levels Remain stagnant, obesity

:09:38. > :09:44.levels are poor. There has been no significant rise in children

:09:45. > :09:47.participating in sport since 2008, before the Olympics and Commonwealth

:09:48. > :09:53.Games came along. I do not accept that. The games have been an

:09:54. > :09:56.important part in ensuring sport remains high on the agenda. The

:09:57. > :10:02.whole investment in physical education and getting that 10% of

:10:03. > :10:08.schools doing two hours to 90 98% of schools. It was a legacy of the

:10:09. > :10:13.Commonwealth Games. Researchers say to change inactivity, will require a

:10:14. > :10:17.cultural shift. Sport is not the first option for those people. We

:10:18. > :10:20.need to look how we will get them active through active living,

:10:21. > :10:22.cycling, walking, gardening and those kinds of activities, rather

:10:23. > :10:28.than sport themselves. This is the those kinds of activities, rather

:10:29. > :10:33.sort of thing, walking groups. Small steps, big benefits. First of all,

:10:34. > :10:38.keeping in touch physically. It improves mobility and balance. We

:10:39. > :10:43.are all very sociable. There is lots of talking, sometimes far too much

:10:44. > :10:48.talking and less concentration. The attitudinal shift to get people

:10:49. > :10:50.active is not going to come about by hosting a big sporting event.

:10:51. > :10:53.The Scottish FA is investigating claims that the Rangers

:10:54. > :10:54.player Joey Bartonbroke its gambling rules

:10:55. > :10:58.The SFA prevents players from betting on any football games.

:10:59. > :10:59.It's understood the allegations centre around

:11:00. > :11:03.a bet placed on Celtic's recent Champions League match

:11:04. > :11:09.Well, It's over to Kirsteen now with the weather outlook

:11:10. > :11:23.Thank you. Good evening. It has been a lovely end to the day across much

:11:24. > :11:27.of the country, as illustrated by one of our weather Watchers in

:11:28. > :11:32.Edinburgh. Tonight dry is how it stays. There will be some clear

:12:43. > :12:46.heavier and more frequent for a time. This batch of rain continuing

:12:47. > :12:53.its journey eastwards, allowing dry areas in the west. As we look ahead
