Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
They thought their son was dead - killed in a bombing raid in Syria. | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
But a refugee family now living in Midlothian have been reunited | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
with their eldest child who was trapped, alone | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Mohamed Karou's father said it was the end of a five year | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
nightmare and praised those who helped rescue his son. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Cameron Buttle has been to meet them. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
It is hard to believe the horrors that this young boy has seen. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Today, playing in a park, a stick and a log are | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
He never strays too far from his father, enjoying being part | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
of the family he had not seen for five years. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
It is a miracle to have him with me here. | :00:56. | :01:08. | |
They lost Mohamed during a bombing raid. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
They searched for him but were told he was dead. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
Years later, after the rest of the family had fled Syria, | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
a relative got a message out to say their son was alive. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
TRANSLATION: It has been a long time. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
He really felt desperate until he would come | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
His father twice smuggled himself back into Syria | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
Now relocated in Scotland, the family pleaded for help, | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
and against all the odds, a rescue mission was mounted | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
and Mohamed arrived in Scotland a few weeks ago. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
TRANSLATION: The operation went a very secret way and no | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
information was revealed to us, just for his protection. | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
The lack of information made me sometimes worried, | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
sometimes concerned, but I always knew that it was going | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
The family's plight hit the headlines when it was raised | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
in Westminster by their local MP last year. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
In the background, a support team from Midlothian Council lived every | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
On the phone to the Home Office everyday in my office. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
The team was there to make sure the family was supported and no | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
stone left unturned to make sure Mohammed could get here. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Beyond that, there are those we do not know, people on the ground | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
We will never know who they are and we can't thank them | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
We will probably never know how he was brought here to Midlothian | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
Syria is still incredibly dangerous and the agencies involved will not | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
talk about it because it might jeopardise future operations. | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
TRANSLATION: He has been denied from his childhood life so I hope | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
this new life will bring him back some childhood memories. | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
The funeral has taken place of the Celtic great | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
Hundreds of fans turned out to pay their last respects | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
as the funeral procession set off from Celtic Park this morning. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
Fellow Lisbon Lions were amongst the pallbearers. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
Among the thousands gathered outside Celtic Park, | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
Others have only seen it on TV, Tommy Gemmill in 1967 scoring | :03:31. | :03:42. | |
in Celtic's European cup final victory, the first by a British | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
I am a Celtic fan through and through. | :03:45. | :04:05. | |
He was a fabulous player and look at the pride he brought a Glasgow. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
When the time came to say farewell, the reaction was spontaneous, | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
the funeral cortege making the journey to the crematorium | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
where family, friends, former team-mates and rivals gathered. | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
Green blazered against the sombre backdrop, his fellow Lisbon Lions. | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
There have been many fine fullbacks who have worn the hoops | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
with distinction but undoubtedly the name of Tommy Gemmill | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
will be right up there with the best of them, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
A tall, athletic full-back in his prime, a close friend | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
described his attitude as illness took its toll. | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
One of his favourite sayings was, why should | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
I didn't think there was anything left for Tommy Gemmill to do | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
I was in awe of his courage, strength and character. | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
In two months, on the 50th anniversary, the Lisbon Lions | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
Missing will be a cherished team-mate, a life today | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
This would have been right up his street. | :05:19. | :05:31. | |
A pilot has been jailed for 10 months for boarding a flight | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
from Scotland to the United States while under the | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
45 year old Carlos Roberto Licona from Texas, was due | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
to serve as First Officer on a United Airlines flight | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
He was jailed after pleading guilty to the charge | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
The Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie has claimed his party | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
now represents "majority opinion" on Scotland's future. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
At the party's annual conference in Perth, | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Mr Rennie said the LibDems were the only ones now giving full | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
support to Scotland's place in both the UK and the European Union. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
From Perth, here's our political editor Brian Taylor. | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
Sharing this venue with the curlers, the Liberal Democrats reckon | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
they are entitled to make a bit of noise, too. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Liberal Democrats speak for the majority of people in Scotland. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
We are pro-United Kingdom, but we also wanted to stay | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
62% of Scots want that, so we represent the majority | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
of public opinion, and our ambition is to get that high | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
He talks of healing divisions, but the party's only Scottish MP | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
reckons nationalism is well out of kilter. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Alex Salmond will tell you that all he wants is for decisions | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
about Scotland to be made by people living in Scotland. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
How is that different from Nigel Farage wanting to take | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
Or even Donald Trump wanting to do deals, great deals, | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
Nick Clegg formally led the Lib Dems and is now | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
He told me of plans for a further EU referendum on the Brexit terms. | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
If the British people were to say, we don't want to jump off the cliff | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
and would rather stay on terra firma, clearly, it would then | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
be for us as a nation to decide whether we actually | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
after all want to stay in the European Union. | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
You can see that as a prospect, that Brexit does not happen? | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
Only if the British people change their mind. | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
To be clear, a second referendum is roundly rejected | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
Nick Clegg argued that liberalism was still alive | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
Party leaders believe they can remedy that in Scotland | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
by supporting two unions, the UK and the EU. | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
Well, It's over to Christopher now with the weather outlook | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
Fairly cloudy and damp tonight with a band of rain moving in of the | :08:15. | :08:25. | |
Atlantic. This is the chart, the rain edging in across the mainland, | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
further south and east any wet weather is light and patchy but | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
fairly cloudy. Tomorrow morning, Saturday gets off to a cloudy start | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
but should improve because the Rome is clearing away towards the North | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
Sea. Behind it, a legacy of drizzle holding on. Brightening up across | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
the far north-west and for parts of Northern Ireland, the North of | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
England, Wales and the south-west, cloudy and in the south and East | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
some sunshine, 16 to 18 Celsius. Nothing quite that high here but | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
nine or 11 Celsius covers it in the south, quite murky at times, the | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
central belt cloudy, clouding up for Edinburgh. Best of the sunshine in | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
the north, like wind, 13, 14 Celsius. Perhaps stilts Shari | :09:21. | :09:30. | |
Shetland. The rest of the afternoon, evening and overnight, mist and murk | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
on the hills and wet weather edging in across the south. Another weather | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
front on the Atlantic so Sunday starts cloudy, damp and drizzly. The | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
rain edges in eastwards through the day and then brightening up so by | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
the afternoon some sunshine coming in across western Scotland, further | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
east a few showers but both days it is the afternoon that will fare best | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
in terms of anything dry and bright. From everyone on the late | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
team - goodnight. Let's Sing And Dance exploded onto | :10:02. | :10:12. | |
our screens, | :10:13. | :10:13. |
