:00:12. > :00:13.despite ministers suspending their use because of potential
:00:14. > :00:17.health complications. Figures obtained by the BBC show
:00:18. > :00:21.that more than 400 women have received mesh and mesh-tape
:00:22. > :00:25.implants, usually used for pelvic and incontinence problems,
:00:26. > :00:28.since June 2014, when the then Health Secretary called

:00:39. > :00:47.patients feel better, but not for Gillian,
:00:48. > :00:49.who now needs crutches to get round. It's meant to be

:00:56. > :01:14.completely changed. This is polypropylene, the same
:01:15. > :01:22.material used to wrap newspapers This is really hard,
:01:23. > :01:37.it's got a sharp edge. It can contract, it can
:01:38. > :01:40.break up in the body, I know of women who've
:01:41. > :01:42.lost their bladder and kidney. How they can put this
:01:43. > :01:57.into bodies, I have no idea. The Scottish Government took action
:01:58. > :02:00.and it was suspended back in 2014. That was following pleas from women
:02:01. > :02:05.suffering debilitating side-effects. But figures show that more
:02:06. > :02:08.than 400 women have had it The BBC has learned

:02:15. > :02:22.this is the only choice. They either live with their symptoms

:02:30. > :02:34.chance of some benefit and of having a benefit
:02:35. > :02:37.that lets them get out of the house. But this consultant, who's been
:02:38. > :02:40.advising the Scottish Government on these procedures,
:02:41. > :02:43.says there's at least two other forms of surgery which should be
:02:44. > :02:48.offered but which ministers cannot Only the MHRA could ban it
:02:49. > :02:54.from the whole of the UK but the Government could suggest

:03:15. > :03:20.taking legal action. They certainly want answers

:03:24. > :03:26.been directed as not to be used until further investigations
:03:27. > :03:31.were carried out. Gillian and Olive are working
:03:32. > :03:33.together to support other women suffering as a result

:03:44. > :03:51.of 16-year-old Bailey Gwynne at his Aberdeen school has been
:03:52. > :03:53.published, but with much of the evidence and even one
:03:54. > :03:56.of the conclusions blacked out. Rebecca Curran reports
:03:57. > :04:00.from Cults Academy. 16-year-old Bailey Gwynne
:04:01. > :04:02.was stabbed during a fight with a fellow pupil here
:04:03. > :04:04.at Cults Academy His killer, who was also 16,
:04:05. > :04:08.is serving nine years A review conducted by child
:04:09. > :04:14.protection expert Andrew Lowe found Bailey's death was "potentially
:04:15. > :04:18.avoidable if those who knew his killer carried weapons
:04:19. > :04:22.had told a teacher". Mr Lowe made five conclusions and 21
:04:23. > :04:24.recommendations in total, But the full report was kept
:04:25. > :04:32.private due to data But today the city council released
:04:33. > :04:37.a heavily redacted version. In fact, much of the 67
:04:38. > :04:42.pages look like this. Well, the section on the background
:04:43. > :04:50.of Bailey and his killer, who's described as child A,
:04:51. > :04:53.has been fully redacted. All information about previous
:04:54. > :04:56.concerns raised about the killer and a complaint that was made
:04:57. > :04:58.have been withheld. The only apparent criticism
:04:59. > :05:02.is levelled at a city councillor for taking part
:05:03. > :05:10.in a media interview. Well, in October,
:05:11. > :05:12.when the recommendations and conclusions were released,
:05:13. > :05:14.the city council's chief executive Angela Scott said the full report
:05:15. > :05:16.wasn't being published because it contained a great deal of sensitive,
:05:17. > :05:19.confidential and legally Mr Lowe conducted 43 face-to-face
:05:20. > :05:28.interviews and over the past weeks each person is understood to have
:05:29. > :05:31.been asked if they were happy What is now apparent is that
:05:32. > :05:36.most of them said no. Now, what's not clear
:05:37. > :05:38.is on what grounds any of those If they were allowed to object only
:05:39. > :05:42.on the basis of legal or data protection grounds,
:05:43. > :05:44.or if they could refuse because they were upset

:05:47. > :05:54.she will look very seriously at proposals put forward
:05:55. > :05:56.by the Scottish Government on Brexit, but has stressed
:05:57. > :05:58.the negotiations to leave the EU Theresa May was speaking ahead
:05:59. > :06:04.of tomorrow's publication of the Scottish Government's
:06:05. > :06:14.priorities for Brexit. I took a call from the First
:06:15. > :06:17.Minister this morning, where I assured her we will look very
:06:18. > :06:20.seriously at the proposals the Scottish Government is bringing
:06:21. > :06:24.forward. I welcome the fact they've been looking at their priorities.
:06:25. > :06:28.We've been welcoming all the devolved administrations to look at
:06:29. > :06:30.those so they can be taken into account in the UK negotiations on
:06:31. > :06:33.leaving the European Union. Plans have been unveiled to create
:06:34. > :06:36.up to 600 jobs and invest ?120 million at the site of the UK's
:06:37. > :06:38.last remaining aluminium It's hoped the site could eventually
:06:39. > :06:43.manufacture alloy wheels for cars. It's the last remaining
:06:44. > :06:50.aluminium smelter in the UK, relying on its own hydro-power
:06:51. > :06:52.scheme to produce the massive amounts of electricity
:06:53. > :06:58.needed for the process. But a review of its assets
:06:59. > :07:01.by the previous owners led to concerns it could be closed,
:07:02. > :07:05.with the loss of 170 jobs. Now with the sale of the smelter,
:07:06. > :07:10.the future is not only bright, Our plan is not to stop aluminium
:07:11. > :07:18.but make components which are very That creates 300 direct jobs
:07:19. > :07:30.and many more indirectly. The First Minister was on hand
:07:31. > :07:33.to take part in a traditional Hindu ceremony to mark the takeover
:07:34. > :07:36.by the company which earlier this year bought the former
:07:37. > :07:41.Tata steel plants. With a ?120 million investment
:07:42. > :07:47.to be made, direct jobs in the supply chain,
:07:48. > :07:49.it's clearly a massive shot It doesn't just guarantee the future
:07:50. > :07:53.of the aluminium smelter and the power plants
:07:54. > :07:55.and all the jobs associated with those, it heralds a bright
:07:56. > :07:58.new future for manufacturing, given the plans to create
:07:59. > :08:01.a new manufacturing facility here, bringing many more jobs
:08:02. > :08:04.in the process, This smelter has been
:08:05. > :08:12.here since 1929 and remains one of the most important industrial
:08:13. > :08:15.employers in the Highlands. Especially myself -
:08:16. > :08:23.I'm in my fourth year here. The chance of me having a job
:08:24. > :08:28.in the future here is excellent Moving into making alloy wheels
:08:29. > :08:35.and car components could triple The ultimate aim is to bring
:08:36. > :08:43.steel-making to the Fort William The Scottish Football Association
:08:44. > :08:55.has been fined more than ?15,000 by the world governing body Fifa
:08:56. > :08:58.after the national side wore poppies during last
:08:59. > :09:03.month's World Cup qualifier Our reporter Alasdair Lamont gave us
:09:04. > :09:13.the reaction at Hampden Park. The decision isn't an entirely
:09:14. > :09:15.surprising one, but nonetheless, the reaction has been
:09:16. > :09:17.one of disappointment. The Scottish FA, along
:09:18. > :09:26.with the English FA, had requested permission ahead
:09:27. > :09:29.of the match to wear the poppies in the match,
:09:30. > :09:31.which was denied. Fifa said there was a rule over
:09:32. > :09:34.the banning of wearing Players wore poppies regardless
:09:35. > :09:39.of that ruling, and there The Scottish FA has been discussing
:09:40. > :09:47.the matter with its English counterparts but also
:09:48. > :09:51.the other home nations. All of them have been fined
:09:52. > :09:53.for similar reasons. In terms of the fines,
:09:54. > :09:58.the Conservative MP Maurice Corrie Frankly I'm appalled
:09:59. > :10:07.at the decision. It's disgraceful they've come
:10:08. > :10:09.to that decision when you think of the commitment many football
:10:10. > :10:16.teams and players made in the wars. I quote the Heart of Midlothian
:10:17. > :10:20.club, who went as an entire team to fight in the Great War,
:10:21. > :10:23.and sadly many did not come back. Certainly strong feeling over
:10:24. > :10:32.the issue, and the English FA are standing their ground,
:10:33. > :10:37.saying that they will appeal. The Scottish FA stood
:10:38. > :10:41.shoulder-to-shoulder it would be surprising
:10:42. > :10:52.if they backed down. I would expect an appeal
:10:53. > :10:55.to go in in the New Year. An appeal to restore
:10:56. > :10:57.the fire-damaged Mackintosh School of Art has been boosted
:10:58. > :11:00.with a ?450,000 donation It's the largest grant
:11:01. > :11:03.to a non-science project in Scotland The cost of restoring
:11:04. > :11:06.the school of art is estimated With this latest donation,
:11:07. > :11:11.the appeal has now Now Judith has the weather outlook
:11:12. > :11:25.for tonight and tomorrow. Thank you. A very good evening to
:11:26. > :11:29.you. The jet stream is about to take control of our weather for the
:11:30. > :11:37.coming week. It is that incredibly fast moving ribbon of wind above the
:11:38. > :11:41.atmosphere, already pushing areas of low, deep pressure towards us, so we
:11:42. > :11:45.could see some very stormy conditions come Christmas weekend.
:11:46. > :11:50.You might wonder what the fuss is about because at the moment things
:11:51. > :11:55.are quiet and dry and we will have a fairly widespread frost tonight. A
:11:56. > :11:59.dry start, bright once we see the sun rising with spells of sunshine,
:12:00. > :12:05.and temperatures at around three or 4 degrees across much of southern
:12:06. > :12:12.Scotland. In rural sparked -- parts, temperatures around the freezing
:12:13. > :12:15.level. The wind really picking up across the Western Isles and
:12:16. > :12:18.Northern Isles and temperatures here higher first thing tomorrow as well.
:12:19. > :12:23.For the rest of the morning, we are holding onto dry weather, and then
:12:24. > :12:27.the arrival of that change with the band of rain feeding in across
:12:28. > :12:31.western Scotland with strengthening southerly winds and gales up towards
:12:32. > :12:34.the north-west. We will see the rain edging into Northern Ireland but a
:12:35. > :12:40.much brighter day than we've seen of late across much of England and
:12:41. > :12:43.Wales, losing the mist and fog we've had lingering over the last few
:12:44. > :12:48.days. Temperatures cooler than of late as well. It will feel that bit
:12:49. > :12:54.cooler tomorrow across Scotland as well. Holding onto dry weather for
:12:55. > :12:59.most of us and then the rain sweeps in as it moves across the country.
:13:00. > :13:03.Generally lighter and patchy in the east. Then the last of these showers
:13:04. > :13:07.feeds into the West and this is the next sign of change. These frequent
:13:08. > :13:12.blustery showers feeding in coming all the way from Canada mean it will
:13:13. > :13:18.feel cold with a wintry Mr those showers across western and northern
:13:19. > :13:24.Scotland, with hail and thunder as well. -- a wintryness.
:13:25. > :13:28.Our next update is during Breakfast at 6.25am tomorrow morning.
:13:29. > :13:31.But from everyone on the late team, goodnight.
