Newsnight. Join me now on BBC Two, 11.00pm in Scotland. That is | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Newsnight with Kirstie. Here on BBC One, it's time for | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A stabbing at an Aberdeen school which led to the death | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
of a pupil was "potentially predictable and avoidable". | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
A report into the tragedy at Cults academy revealed it was known that | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
16-year-old Bailey Gwynne's attacker was carrying a knife - | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
October 28 last year, a day that will not be | :00:21. | :00:33. | |
forgotten by those involved, as the lunch break ends at Cults | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
Academy, two boys of 16 have an argument and then fight. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
16-year-old Bailey Gwynne, a single stab wound to the heart | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
His killer now serving nine years for culpable homicide. | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
Today the findings of an independent report into what happened, | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
a picture is painted of an unexceptional argument that | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
Entirely, in my view, unpredictable, rose very rapidly | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
from an inconsequential argument that schoolboys might have every | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
day, a regular argument which suddenly became inflamed. | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
On events on the day of the stabbing Andrew Lowe says it was an unplanned | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
spontaneous conflict that emerged rapidly. | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
It could not have been predicted or averted on the day. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
But he says the course of the conflict was fatally altered | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
This was potentially predictable and avoidable if those | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
who knew Child A, the killer, carried weapons to school, | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
The possession of a weapon by one boy was known by some people | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
and if they had brought it to the attention of teachers, | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
that may have enabled the event to be avoided. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
All of my recommendations are around making sure that in future | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
we have a better chance of avoiding that. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
There are 21 recommendations in the report. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Aberdeen City Council accepts them all. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
I am very, very thoughtful about the impact on the well-being | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
of all children at Cults as a result of what happened, that | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
has been my focus for the last year, incumbent upon us all to be mindful | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
and to provide the support, this will prove to be a significant | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
dramatic event in the life of a number of those children. | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
Bailey Gwynne's family met with the author | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
He said they showed remarkable dignity. | :02:40. | :02:53. | |
Police Scotland revealed today that since the stabbing incident here in | :02:54. | :03:03. | |
October, 15 knife incidents have been reported in Aberdeen schools. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
From now on, when any weapon is found in a school in the city it | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
will be reported to police. Our reporter Fiona Stalker has | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
returned to Cults Academy one year on, to see how pupils and staff | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
there are coping. A memorial tree for Bailey Gwynne - | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
the willow a powerful symbol of recovery - | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
something that pupils and staff here at Cults Academy are working on, | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
memories of October 28 last I was in an English class | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
overlooking the car park. After the incident there were a lot | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
of rumours going around, Nobody could have predicted | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
that from a stab wound. I remember somebody saying | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
it was a bleeding nose and then so when all that was happening | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
no-one knew what had actually happened and there was | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
a lot of confusion. Then the devastating news that | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
Bailey had died, and then the questions - | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
had his killer brought knives At his trial, we heard | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
he had but where? At his trial, we heard he had | :04:03. | :04:12. | |
but were staff aware? There was an incident | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
when he was in the second year when I had to interview him, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
as with school procedure - myself and another member | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
of management met with him and he emptied all his bags | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
and possessions and we had He was well aware of | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
the consequences and the school rule and indeed the legal situation | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
about carrying weapons and did not give us any reason to think | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
that he did not understand that. What happened at this school | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
is thankfully very rare but the report is calling | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
for changes to the law which would allow teachers to search | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
pupils without consent. It is being considered | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
but some do not agree. We think it would undermine | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
the teacher-pupil relationship, undermine trust, it would be almost | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
like being a prison warden If incidents arose, it | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
could possibly escalate them. And away from the glare of publicity | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
surrounding the report today, the family and friends | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
of Bailey Gwynne are quietly finalising plans for a stained-glass | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
window in his memory. The life and death of the gentle, | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
considerate young man forever woven New figures show that in recent | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
years more than one in ten children have started primary school | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
in Scotland overweight or obese. The statistics come | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
from Cancer Research UK which is urging the government to do | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
more to tackle the problem. Mother of three Kirsty Thomasson | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
wants to make sure that her She found herself four stone | :05:40. | :05:49. | |
overweight after consuming too much It was when I was in soft play | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
with my eldest son for his third birthday, I sat down | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
and my jeans ripped, I was really upset and could not | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
look at myself in the mirror. She now weighs a much healthier nine | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
stone, but that is not Cancer Research UK says Scotland | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
has one of the heaviest It says over the last decade almost | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
83,000 children have started school Now the charity wants | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
the Scottish Government to take direct action by restricting | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
the billboard advertising of junk food and cutting multi-buy | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
and sensible markets. food and cutting multi-buy | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
discounts in supermarkets. And cancer prevention specialists | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
say action is needed right now. We know overweight or obesity | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
is linked to 13 types of cancer, so unless we help those children | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
to become healthier in the future we'll have more overweight or obese | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
adults and that's a real worry. The Scottish Government says it | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
will consider taking action where it We would give consideration | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
to the multi-buy. We will look at that | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
as part of the obesity strategy going forward, | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
we've already begun to put some consideration into that | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
but there is obviously very limited We could do things around billboards | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
in the cinema but TV advertising, Ministers want all parents to help | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
their children eat healthily. The Queensferry Crossing has | :07:26. | :07:35. | |
set a new world record Officials from the Guinness Book | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
of Records have been to the bridge They are incredibly proud | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
of the record on this bridge for the longest free-standing | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
balanced structure anywhere Basically, it's like a massive | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
see-saw centred around that tower in the centre | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
section here of the bridge. Over here, this is the south | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
side of the bridge, but what is really quite unnerving, | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
right here on the very, very end of this section is, | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
there is the water down there. You can see how much | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
we are moving up and down. When the wind really picks up, | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
it can move a meter, Of course, the record will not stand | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
for very long because this That means that the record is gone, | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
because it's no longer Right now the record-breaking | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
centre deck team can brag across the gap to their colleagues | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
on the southern deck. The record was for Central Tower - | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
South Tower can't take much It's great to be able to talk | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
to the guys face-to-face rather than pick up the phone or the radio | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
you will a the time. than pick up the phone | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
or the radio all the time. The bridge was meant to be | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
opened by this December - delays and bad weather have meant | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
setbacks to the project. Nearly 40 days lost | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
between June and September. The Scottish Government is confident | :09:09. | :09:09. | |
it will now be finished After today there will be eight | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
pieces of deck to come up. There is very important work to be | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
done in terms of the wind shielding. It should mean it should never be | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
closed for high winds We have to put a structure, tarmac, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
on the structure itself. That will be happening | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
at a difficult time of the year. We always said we are at | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
the mercy of the weather. The contractors are assuring us it | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
will be finished in May next year. Potentially tough times | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
ahead this winter. Today it was about basking in | :09:43. | :09:43. | |
the glow of being record-breakers. Scotland suffered their first | :09:44. | :09:54. | |
World Cup qualifying defeat in Group F as Slovakia | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
registered their first points. Alasdair Lamonts has just sent | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
this report from Trnava. You join me inside the news | :10:00. | :10:15. | |
conference hall at the city arena as we await the appearance of the | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
Scotland manager, Gordon Strachan. You have to imagine he will be | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
enormously frustrated after a second poor result in the space of four | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
days. There was a good deal of controversy about Slovakia's opening | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
goal. Steven Fletcher looked to have been bodychecked before the host | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
went forward. An initial header was kept out, but for's powered in the | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
rebound. Scotland played reasonably well and were still in the game | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
until more inadequate defender allowed plenty of time and space | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
inside the pencil -- penalty area for Slovakia to score a second. The | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
fragility of the visitors defence was shown even more starkly as | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
Slovakia scored their third. Scotland were emphatically beaten. | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
The result may be a little harsh on Scotland, but an inability to defend | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
or scoring goals is a bad mixture and it means the Scots face yet | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
another failed qualifying campaign. Now it's over to Judith | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
with the weather outlook At least the beginning of October | :11:10. | :11:22. | |
mix for the football results. A lovely starch to the month. Things | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
gradually starting to change as we had through the course of this week. | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
Here is a beautiful picture of a sunset. As we had through the | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
overnight period, we will see cloudy skies and eastern outbreaks of | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
showery rain. Clear skies in the West where it will be chilly. | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
Tomorrow morning. -- more morning, there is an east-west split. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
Sunshine early on in the West, the East more cloudy with more of the | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
breeze bringing outbreaks of showery rain. First thing tomorrow, where | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
the sunshine is it will feel on the cool side if not cold. Toward parts | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
of the West Highlands, maybe an early frost. In the east, | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
temperatures are bit higher and across the Northern Isles, dry and | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
bright start with light winds. Staying that way for much of the | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
day. As for the rest of the morning, we will continue to see cloudy | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
skies. Cloud starting to increase further west as we have go through | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
the course of the danger the afternoon. One or two outbreaks of | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
showery rain though we hold onto clear skies in the west of the | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Highlands. Northern Ireland faring well, the west of the UK seem good | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
sunny spells. We will see some blustery showers running along the | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
south coast tomorrow underline from linkage to North Wales. More cloud | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
across the eastern side the country where you will feel the noticeable | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
easterly, quite keen breeze making it feel cool. Scotland, temperatures | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
around 11 to 12 degrees in the East, perhaps 14 or 15 across the | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
north-west. As far as the rest of the afternoon and evening is | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
concerned, further outbreaks of showery rain feeding in. In the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
West, largely dry. That cast-iron area of high pressure is still | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
there, but we see lower pressure feeding him from the south, | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
squeezing the isobars, bringing stronger winds. It will be windier | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
on Thursday with showery rain in the East and dry in the West. | :13:18. | :13:18. | |
Our next update is during Breakfast at 6.25 tomorrow morning. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
But from everyone on the late team here in Glasgow | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
and around the country - goodnight. | :13:26. | :13:32. |
