:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight - are we too quick to hand out antidepressants to kids?

:00:00. > :00:08.Plus - tennis, Trainspotting and Attenborough on Trump -

:00:09. > :00:35.Hello and welcome to the first ever Timeline.

:00:36. > :00:41.And great to see Shereen back on the telly -

:00:42. > :00:48.Yes, ten years - it's good to be back.

:00:49. > :00:51.So tonight - on the week the whole country has gone a bit Trainspotting

:00:52. > :00:54.mad, we get a different view from one of the film-makers.

:00:55. > :00:56.We have an exclusive interview with Judy Murray who says Scotland's

:00:57. > :00:59.too late in capitalising on her boys' success.

:01:00. > :01:04.That was Inti the armadillo from Edinburgh Zoo who I got to hold

:01:05. > :01:07.when I went to see Sir David Attenborough.

:01:08. > :01:14.Sir David will be talking about the future of the planet.

:01:15. > :01:16.First - what will be a difficult story for many parents -

:01:17. > :01:19.would you want to know if your child was being prescribed

:01:20. > :01:25.Annette McKenzie wishes she'd been told before her 16-year-old

:01:26. > :01:29.daughter Britney died from an overdose last summer.

:01:30. > :01:33.Annette's grief is still very raw but she's taken a petition

:01:34. > :01:36.to the Scottish Parliament demanding a change in the law.

:01:37. > :01:41.She told me earlier what happened when Britney went for help.

:01:42. > :01:51.The day Britney went to the doctors,... Did she tell you she was

:01:52. > :01:59.going? No. It was three days after Father's Day. Thinking back, Britney

:02:00. > :02:04.was working, getting up in the morning, going to work, chatting to

:02:05. > :02:10.her friends. She didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Back then, in

:02:11. > :02:15.June, we would have been out on a family occasion for my son's ninth

:02:16. > :02:24.birthday and she was so happy. So fun loving. She was even being a big

:02:25. > :02:29.kid on the dodgems and things like that and having a good time. To me,

:02:30. > :02:35.it was like, whatever she was dealing with, she was doing OK and

:02:36. > :02:43.getting better. And then I noticed, I would say the last two weeks, her

:02:44. > :02:47.mood changed a lot. She didn't want to get out of bed, she didn't want

:02:48. > :02:53.to do the simplest task of going to the shop. She wasn't really eating.

:02:54. > :02:58.And I would say to her, what is wrong? And she would say nothing. I

:02:59. > :03:04.asked her why she wouldn't eat and she said she wasn't hungry. There

:03:05. > :03:11.were no signs that she was going to do what she did. None at all.

:03:12. > :03:14.Britney was quite vocal. A lot of people have jumped on her Facebook

:03:15. > :03:20.account and said, you can quite clearly see she was upset and

:03:21. > :03:24.feeling down. Did they not think I could see those things as well and

:03:25. > :03:30.that I would speak to her? I would speak to her as her mother and get

:03:31. > :03:36.to the bottom of whatever it was. She was having trouble online? I

:03:37. > :03:41.don't know, if that interpreted to her thoughts and feelings that night

:03:42. > :03:49.alone. When did you realise she had been taking these pills? When her

:03:50. > :03:59.friend came, at 3:17am and knocked on the front door. She asked me if

:04:00. > :04:07.Britney was OK. I was, yes, she is in bed, she is fine and she was

:04:08. > :04:14.like, no, she has taken an overdose. My partner, I can't remember events

:04:15. > :04:26.properly from that night but I can remember, I was shouting back to the

:04:27. > :04:31.girl, she came back into the room after me and she was saying, her own

:04:32. > :04:37.pills. I rang the emergency services and they asked me what Whitney had

:04:38. > :04:42.taken and I said I didn't know. -- Britney. I didn't understand, I

:04:43. > :04:50.didn't think Britney had her own pills. I didn't properly find out

:04:51. > :04:54.Britney had been given these pills until... I think it was when the CID

:04:55. > :04:58.came to see me a couple of days later. That is when I found out how

:04:59. > :05:05.many tablets Britney had been given for the month. At 16, she was

:05:06. > :05:13.legally able to make those health decisions. In the eyes of the law,

:05:14. > :05:19.yes. I know a lot of people think, at 16, you can move out, you can do

:05:20. > :05:24.certain things, and it is like, physically, I would say, maybe you

:05:25. > :05:28.are ready, but emotionally, it lags behind. Do you think Britney

:05:29. > :05:39.understood all the tablet she was taking? Not at all. The tablets

:05:40. > :05:43.Britney was taking, she had antibiotics twice in her life, she

:05:44. > :05:49.never went to the doctor, she wasn't a sickly child. No reason to take

:05:50. > :05:55.her to the doctor. So what they gave her, the dosage, it was high. No

:05:56. > :06:01.guidelines to say a child of a certain age is only allowed a

:06:02. > :06:06.certain dose or only allowed this tablet under the watchful eye of a

:06:07. > :06:10.mother or father or guardian, they are 13, they go into that doctors

:06:11. > :06:18.and sit in front of them and have the conversation with the doctor.

:06:19. > :06:24.That doctor then Dean is if you understand and are capable of

:06:25. > :06:28.administering and understanding your medication. I don't understand how a

:06:29. > :06:36.doctor can assess that in 15 minutes. This is where it Britney's

:06:37. > :06:41.plea comes in, you have taken a petition to the Scottish Parliament.

:06:42. > :06:48.What do you want to see happening? More talking about mental health.

:06:49. > :06:51.Not completely taking away the medication but understanding

:06:52. > :06:55.situations where kids do need to be medicated. Some people have

:06:56. > :07:00.experiences in life that they can't control and they do need medication

:07:01. > :07:06.for it. I think when we are just giving kids medication from the ages

:07:07. > :07:10.of 13, 14, 15, at those ages, there are a lot of life changes going on

:07:11. > :07:14.at the same time. Something you would take as an everyday event,

:07:15. > :07:17.they are taking at the end of the world because they are not mature

:07:18. > :07:22.enough to realise, I had just split up with my boyfriend or fallen out

:07:23. > :07:28.with my best friend, that things will get better, they just think the

:07:29. > :07:34.world is caving in. You can treat mental health wrongly in so many

:07:35. > :07:39.children for that reason. I know it has been difficult for you to talk

:07:40. > :07:40.about this but thank you very much. You have given parents a lot to

:07:41. > :07:45.think about. Let's have a look at prescribing in

:07:46. > :07:50.numbers. 850,000 Scots prescribed

:07:51. > :07:53.anti-depressants last year. 1,123 were children

:07:54. > :08:02.under the age of 14. Well, Dr Miles Mack

:08:03. > :08:04.from the Royal College Are GPs too quick to

:08:05. > :08:21.prescribe antidepressants? Ake or anti-anxiety drugs? Drugs

:08:22. > :08:26.have an important part in our treatment for mental health

:08:27. > :08:30.problems. I don't think that is the first line and I believe our role is

:08:31. > :08:36.to be there, really as the first point of call for people, the unique

:08:37. > :08:41.position GPs have got, is that quite often, we have known these people

:08:42. > :08:44.since they were quite young. We may well have an inkling as to the

:08:45. > :08:48.social circumstances if we're lucky enough to have built that long-term

:08:49. > :08:51.relationship. When they come to us, our job is to make that assessment

:08:52. > :08:57.and start to think about what help they need and what support.

:08:58. > :09:01.Sometimes, it is a helping hand, sometimes they just need help making

:09:02. > :09:05.some difficult decisions. That doesn't need to be a GP to do that

:09:06. > :09:07.but obviously, we are recognised as the first point of call.

:09:08. > :09:10.Is it true that GPs don't have to tell the parents,

:09:11. > :09:15.even if they are giving a child as young as 13 antidepressants?

:09:16. > :09:24.At the age of 16, in Scotland, they are treated as adults. We are very

:09:25. > :09:27.mindful of our responsibility for patient confidentiality. It is

:09:28. > :09:32.incredibly important to actually make sure people do access us. There

:09:33. > :09:43.is a real issue about people not getting help. Under 16, it is on a

:09:44. > :09:47.case-by-case basis. If we feel that patient understands their treatment

:09:48. > :09:50.and the implications of that treatment, we would support their

:09:51. > :09:56.confidentiality. That doesn't mean to say we won't encourage them to be

:09:57. > :10:00.in contact with their parents or other people close to them. We would

:10:01. > :10:03.absolutely convinced the best chance of successful outcome is if they

:10:04. > :10:09.have got that social support around them. When you listen to a net,

:10:10. > :10:12.isn't it the case that she or indeed any parent would be a better able to

:10:13. > :10:18.help the child if they had that information? We absolutely agree we

:10:19. > :10:22.want the parents involved. We want to make sure they have as many

:10:23. > :10:29.supports close to them. If they decide they don't want to have them

:10:30. > :10:31.contact, we have to respect that. Wouldn't you want to know,

:10:32. > :10:41.if it was your child? I am a parent and I understand what

:10:42. > :10:47.they are going through. It is tough, always wondering but as a parent, I

:10:48. > :10:50.always want to know that if they don't feel they can speak to me,

:10:51. > :10:53.they can go to someone who is trusted and who knows the system and

:10:54. > :10:55.can help navigate them through the difficulties they will have to get

:10:56. > :10:57.through. Thank you. If you've been affected by any

:10:58. > :11:00.of the issues we've been discussing and would like details

:11:01. > :11:04.of organisations which offer advice and support, you can go online

:11:05. > :11:06.to bbc.co.uk/actionline or you can call free any time to hear recorded

:11:07. > :11:16.information on 0800 066066. In the past hour we've heard the sad

:11:17. > :11:19.news that the former Labour MP Tam Dalyell has died,

:11:20. > :11:23.at the age of 84. He sat in the House of Commons

:11:24. > :11:38.from 1962 until 2005, representing Lots of tribute still coming in. He

:11:39. > :11:42.ended his career in Parliament as father of the House of Commons

:11:43. > :11:46.because he was at that point, the longest serving MP after more than

:11:47. > :11:53.40 years. Many tributes coming in from across the political divide.

:11:54. > :11:58.Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour Party says, sad to hear of the death

:11:59. > :12:04.of my friend. Fearless in pursuit of truth, thoughts with the family.

:12:05. > :12:08.From the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP, she says very

:12:09. > :12:13.sad to hear of the death of Tam Dalyell, a giant of Scottish

:12:14. > :12:18.politics. Ruth Davidson saying very sorry to hear of his death, he was

:12:19. > :12:25.unique, thoughtful, gracious, dignified and utterly tenacious. You

:12:26. > :12:30.knew him well, what was he like? He was a gentleman first and foremost,

:12:31. > :12:36.hugely intelligent and fiercely independent. No lengths to which he

:12:37. > :12:42.wouldn't go to pursue what he felt strongly about. The creation of the

:12:43. > :12:48.Scottish Parliament, he thought it would be a motorway without exit

:12:49. > :12:53.without independent Scotland. He was thought of as a thorn in the side of

:12:54. > :13:00.whatever government was in power. The title of his biography, The

:13:01. > :13:10.Importance Of Being Awkward. Tennis now, Judy Murray is the mum

:13:11. > :13:15.of a tennis Singles World No One She's also very vocal on how kids

:13:16. > :13:21.from poorer areas aren't getting the chances that her boys got

:13:22. > :13:24.and that more could be done to capitalise on Andy and Jamie's

:13:25. > :13:37.sucess.She's been speaking Andy Murray remains for now, world

:13:38. > :13:41.number one. His success has put Scotland on the sporting map. Much

:13:42. > :13:46.of that is down to the hard work of this woman, his mum, Judy. I met up

:13:47. > :13:49.with her just before she headed out to Melbourne and we began by talking

:13:50. > :13:57.about who really gets opportunities in sport. I am a private schoolboy

:13:58. > :14:02.and played rugby at private school. Do you think sport is a level

:14:03. > :14:08.playing field for every one of different income levels? Absolutely

:14:09. > :14:11.no chance. I also went to a private school and will always be grateful

:14:12. > :14:14.to my parents forgive me that opportunity because I love sport and

:14:15. > :14:21.I played for every school team available. It was great for me. But

:14:22. > :14:24.if I hadn't gone to that school, I would not have had those

:14:25. > :14:29.opportunities and therefore, I wouldn't have become what I became.

:14:30. > :14:39.It is funny because if I hadn't gone to private school,... And if you

:14:40. > :14:44.hadn't gone, they might not be Andy Murray, Jamie Murray, it doesn't

:14:45. > :14:50.feel right, does it? It does not, I think so often now, if there are not

:14:51. > :14:55.opportunities within the state schools and within the locality in

:14:56. > :15:01.which you live in, that make it easy for kids to go into a sport and

:15:02. > :15:07.develop at it, then it really is again up to the parents to try to

:15:08. > :15:12.support that love or desire of what the child wants to do. If you are in

:15:13. > :15:15.the east end of Glasgow for example, hosted two semifinals of the Davis

:15:16. > :15:21.Cup and doesn't have one public tennis court for anyone to play, so

:15:22. > :15:27.anyone inspired by that, isn't going to be the play and that is my point.

:15:28. > :15:28.You put on the big events, you get people excited, but then the

:15:29. > :15:39.opportunity is there. And it has to be cheaper. It has to

:15:40. > :15:43.be cheap and affordable. If I look at my experience with the boys, they

:15:44. > :15:49.played every sport under the sun when they were little, and settled

:15:50. > :15:57.on a couple that they liked. But anti-it was football, and tennis. I

:15:58. > :16:02.could never have afforded for my kids to do terrace if I had not

:16:03. > :16:10.played tennis myself. No chance. It is not a level playing field is it?

:16:11. > :16:17.No chance. No question. They have long called for more investment in

:16:18. > :16:22.tennis and are often back in tennis promoting the grassroots game.

:16:23. > :16:27.Recently sport Scotland, announced a ?15 million investment in indoor

:16:28. > :16:32.courts, is that enough? 50 million in itself would build about 30

:16:33. > :16:37.indoor courts and we could do with a whole lot more than that. It has

:16:38. > :16:40.been an enormous source of frustration to me because I have

:16:41. > :16:45.seen the opportunity that the success of the boys has presented to

:16:46. > :16:51.our sport and yet nobody has really grasped it and seen what we can do.

:16:52. > :16:58.Until Jamie starts treating. I think somebody has to do draw attention to

:16:59. > :17:03.it. -- Jamie starts tweeting. What was clear to me over the last year

:17:04. > :17:08.and a half, was when we bought Davis Cup matches to Glasgow the two

:17:09. > :17:13.semifinals that were at the Emirates Arena, they were sold out within

:17:14. > :17:17.hours and the atmosphere was incredible, and then we had and

:17:18. > :17:22.the's exhibition match at the Hydro which was the first thing any thing

:17:23. > :17:28.like that had been done in Scotland and that sold out very quickly.

:17:29. > :17:32.There is a huge appetite for it. For people to watch it in Scotland and

:17:33. > :17:36.what has worried me is seeing that nobody else is really grasping this

:17:37. > :17:43.opportunity to grow our sport at this boom time. Andy and Jamie may

:17:44. > :17:47.only play for another few years and when they stop playing, that is too

:17:48. > :17:52.late to start creating a legacy, you have to jump on it now. If you wait

:17:53. > :17:57.two or three years, when they have gone, tennis could go back to being

:17:58. > :17:58.largely available in this country again. Should have started nine

:17:59. > :18:00.years ago. Exactly. Well I don't know about the next

:18:01. > :18:03.generation of tennis stars but the film Trainspotting

:18:04. > :18:05.is reaching a new generation with the release of T2 tomorrow.

:18:06. > :18:13.You'll have no doubt seen shots from the premiere in Edinburgh

:18:14. > :18:16.at the weekend, indeed it was a star studded occasion but we've taken

:18:17. > :18:19.a slightly different perspective on how the movie brand continues

:18:20. > :18:25.to make an impact 20 years on. Filmmaker Garry Fraser was brought

:18:26. > :18:49.on board to work on the new movie Choose life, choose a job, choose a

:18:50. > :18:54.career... It is a cult classic and one of Britain's greatest ever

:18:55. > :19:01.films. It told the study of the capital's drug culture. In 1996 when

:19:02. > :19:07.the first film came out I was dealing and kicking heroine. My life

:19:08. > :19:15.was spiralling out of control and I was chaotic. -- dealing and taking

:19:16. > :19:18.heroin. The drugs and inequality destroyed communities and very

:19:19. > :19:22.quickly I had the realisation when I looked to my son's eyes that I had

:19:23. > :19:31.to turn my life around and that is what I did. I started making short

:19:32. > :19:35.films and enrolled in the cause of Edinburgh College. It was a new

:19:36. > :19:45.life, but I was always trying to tell the story of the old one. A

:19:46. > :19:51.full generation of people died here. My first feature film got me a BAFTA

:19:52. > :19:55.and attention. Irvine Welsh solid and it was him that told Danny Boyle

:19:56. > :20:05.that I should be involved in the Trainspotting sequel. -- Ivan Wells

:20:06. > :20:12.saw it. The new film looks at life after addiction. A battle that I

:20:13. > :20:17.know well. You are an addict. Do you think I haven't had that so many

:20:18. > :20:24.times. So, be addicted to something else. Like running until I feel

:20:25. > :20:28.sick? Yes. And it wasn't just my talent that Danny Welbeck ignite, he

:20:29. > :20:36.decided to cast these guys to after he came to our acting class. It was

:20:37. > :20:39.brilliant, Danny Boyle made us feel welcome and talk to others about

:20:40. > :20:45.normal stuff, like football and music, treated us like normal

:20:46. > :20:51.people. The addiction stuff, the way bet they put it across in the film

:20:52. > :20:54.is good, because it is about moving forward and channelling their energy

:20:55. > :20:58.into something positive and making healthy choices. I think they

:20:59. > :21:01.captured that well. I think it is great how they looked at addiction

:21:02. > :21:12.and didn't just covered the drugs, they could Facebook, food, exercise,

:21:13. > :21:19.addiction covers a wide range of stuff and I think Trainspotting has

:21:20. > :21:24.captured that. I am really looking forward to you having your position

:21:25. > :21:30.where you are sitting in the cinema and yous are part of the most

:21:31. > :21:35.anticipated film of 2017. An Edinburgh has massively changed

:21:36. > :21:40.since the first Trainspotting, it has a new parliament, shiny new

:21:41. > :21:46.trams and lots of money blowing in. But there has also been

:21:47. > :21:51.gentrification and working class communities pushed to the edge of

:21:52. > :21:56.the city. It has become more multicultural and diversity is a

:21:57. > :22:01.good thing. Now, I can appreciate Trainspotting was a film than what I

:22:02. > :22:05.did back then. What I have come to realise after all these years is

:22:06. > :22:09.that Trainspotting is a work of fiction made for Hollywood and not a

:22:10. > :22:13.documentary. You are creating something for a large audience and

:22:14. > :22:17.you have to do make something magical. Now I am part of that

:22:18. > :22:24.magic, as well. Gary Fraser and his role in

:22:25. > :22:27.Trainspotting two. our Timeline's available

:22:28. > :22:31.where ever you are. Throughout the week you'll

:22:32. > :22:33.find lots of our stories and on BBC Scotland news on Facebook

:22:34. > :22:48.so head there to join Already Judy Murray has been having

:22:49. > :22:50.a conversation with solitude. -- there with some of you.

:22:51. > :22:52.There's also a chat with Professional MasterChef

:22:53. > :22:55.A behind the scenes film of our studio.

:22:56. > :22:57.Sir David Attenborough answers the questions you wanted asked.

:22:58. > :23:03.I did and Sir David is worried by the news that last year the world

:23:04. > :23:12.There has been an increase in the world temperature and we know now

:23:13. > :23:17.that it was human activity that contributed very largely to that

:23:18. > :23:23.with the release of carbon dioxide and other gases, which greenhouse

:23:50. > :23:58.change wouldn't have effects that were both good and bad, that is

:23:59. > :24:01.true. You may lose things from up in the North of Scotland but you might

:24:02. > :24:06.get interesting butterflies coming up from your work. From that point

:24:07. > :24:12.of view, yes. But, that is a very special point of view. If the

:24:13. > :24:16.temperature of the oceans increase and the temperature of the world

:24:17. > :24:23.increases, there is a possibility that the ice caps, particularly in

:24:24. > :24:30.the North will melt. It is a triggering effect that as you rise,

:24:31. > :24:34.and it gets warmer, suddenly, the moment comes when instead of being

:24:35. > :24:39.solid it is liquid. If that happens to the ice cap in the Arctic, the

:24:40. > :24:47.level of the oceans of the world will rise and man has always built

:25:09. > :25:13.privileged conversation with Obama. Would his successor be as receptive

:25:14. > :25:18.to your point of view? We will have to see, I don't know enough about

:25:19. > :25:22.American politics to know how powerful, President Obama said a lot

:25:23. > :25:26.of marvellous things in support of conservation but was frustrated in

:25:27. > :25:33.putting them into effect because of the way that American politics were.

:25:34. > :25:42.He doesn't have absolute power. We will see, Quaker S specs -- we will

:25:43. > :25:45.see greater expats than me will be up to see how far president from

:25:46. > :25:51.will be up to put the statements he has made into effect. He has talked

:25:52. > :25:56.about taking America out of the United Nations's agreements and

:25:57. > :26:00.climate change. If he invited you into the White House, what would you

:26:01. > :26:06.say to persuade him that he does need to stick with that? I don't

:26:07. > :26:09.know, it doesn't seem to me that he listened a lot to some of the

:26:10. > :26:14.arguments that are put to him if he doesn't agree with them. Not the man

:26:15. > :26:20.who changes his mind recently. Theresa May is meeting him in the

:26:21. > :26:24.White House, should she put this high on her agenda? I hope so, but

:26:25. > :26:29.she will have a big agenda and I don't know how long they have the

:26:30. > :26:33.top. Can we successfully reverse climate change and its effect we do

:26:34. > :26:39.not have the US on board? It will be very much more difficult and the

:26:40. > :26:45.fact was that America wasn't and bought about climate change in the

:26:46. > :26:53.days before Obama. So, we will have deceived. I wonder when you look

:26:54. > :26:57.ahead to your hundred birthday, what could be the best way someone who

:26:58. > :27:04.spent their life exploring the natural world to celebrate that

:27:05. > :27:08.landmark? -- so, we will two C. To see the graph of global warming

:27:09. > :27:14.levelling out a little, that would be a fantastic birthday present.

:27:31. > :27:33.together a wee poem to the Bard with a few well ken't faces

:27:37. > :28:00.We timorous beastie, oh what... When murdering... I am truly sorry man's

:28:01. > :28:08.Dominion has broken nature 's social union... Which makes you startle at
