A Scots lawyer is calling for an end to a loophole in the law that allows one parent to remove their child from Scotland without the consent of the other.

Yousif Ahmed, 29, is urging the Scottish government to propose changes to the law to bring it into line with rules south of the border, where such an act would be a criminal offence.
