Sandie Peggie took action against the health board and transgender medic Dr Beth Upton after she was suspended from her job at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy following a row with her colleague on Christmas Eve 2023.

Ms Peggie, who has worked for the NHS for 30 years, was placed on special leave after Dr Upton made an allegation of bullying and harassment, and cited concerns about patient care.

The nurse lodged a claim against NHS Fife and Dr Upton, citing the Equality Act 2010, including sexual harassment, harassment related to a protected belief, indirect discrimination, and victimisation.

The employment tribunal hearings took place in Dundee before Judge Sandy Kemp earlier this year.

In a written judgment on Monday, the harassment claim was upheld against NHS Fife, but allegations of discrimination, indirect discrimination and victimisation were dismissed.

The claims against Dr Upton did not succeed and were dismissed.

Ms Peggie stated: "I am beyond relieved and delighted that the tribunal has found that my employer Fife Health Board harassed me after I complained about having to share a female-only changing room with a male colleague.

"The last two years have been agonising for me and my family.

"I will have much more to say in the coming days once I've been able to properly consider the lengthy judgment and discuss it with my legal team.

"For now, I am looking forward to spending a quiet few days with my family."

Ms Peggie paid tribute to her "incredible" legal team, which included lead counsel Naomi Cunningham, junior counsel Dr Charlotte Elves, and solicitor Margaret Gribbon.

She added: "There are many others I would like to thank and will do so in the coming days."

The tribunal found that NHS Fife had harassed Ms Peggie by failing to revoke the grant of permission to Dr Upton on an interim basis after the nurse complained, for the period until different work rotas took effect so that they would not work together and said that, as a result, Dr Upton was in the changing room when the claimant was present on two occasions.

It also found the board had harassed Ms Peggie by taking an unreasonable length of time to investigate the allegations against her; by making reference to patient care allegations against her on 28 March 2024; and giving an instruction to her not to discuss the case, until a further message a little over two weeks later which confirmed that applied only to the investigation.

A separate hearing on remedy - which could see Ms Peggie receive financial compensation - will take place at a later date.

NHS Fife said it had been a "complex and lengthy process".

The health board added: "The employment tribunal unanimously dismissed all of the claimant's allegations against Dr Upton and all of the allegations against the board apart from four specific aspects of the harassment complaint.

"We will now take time to work through the detail of the judgment alongside our legal team to understand fully what it means for the organisation.

"We want to recognise how difficult this tribunal has been for everyone directly and indirectly involved.

"Our focus now is to ensure that NHS Fife remains a supportive and inclusive environment for all employees and our patients and to deliver health and care to the population of Fife."

The prime minister and the Ukrainian president were joined by the French president Emmanuel Macron and the German chancellor Friedrich Merz in London as part of efforts to find a way to end the war with Russia.

The meeting was set to focus on the US-proposed peace plan for Ukraine and how potential problems and disagreements can be overcome.

It was also a chance for three key European leaders to show their continued support for Ukraine and its president.

Ukraine latest: 'Critical stage' in push for peace

After arriving in the UK, Mr Zelenskyy said in a post on Telegram that "we are joining our efforts to end this war with a decent peace for Ukraine" and that "security must be guaranteed".

He later said: "We can't manage without Americans, we can't manage without Europe and that is why we need to make some important decisions."

The discussions come as US President Donald Trump accused Mr Zelenskyy of having failed to read the latest peace plan.

He said he was "a little disappointed" in the Ukrainian leader, while insisting Russia's Vladimir Putin was "fine with it".

Sir Keir had earlier insisted any ceasefire must be "just" and "lasting", adding: "We are at a critical stage in the push for peace.

"The principles remain the same. We stand with Ukraine, and if there is to be a ceasefire, it needs to be a just and lasting ceasefire."

Mr Macron had insisted Ukraine's allies have "a lot of cards" - but the main issue was to "finalise these peace negotiations" and find the "best possible conditions for Ukraine, for the Europeans, and for collective security".

Moments after arriving at Downing Street, Mr Merz said he was "sceptical about some of the details in documents coming from the US" but that was one of the reasons for Monday's talks.

The four European leaders emerged from Downing Street at around 2.20pm for a group photo - but declined to answer any questions from the media.

Sir Keir and Mr Zelenskyy then went back inside the prime minister's residence for further talks while Mr Macron and Mr Merz departed.

The London meeting comes after Mr Zelenskyy's officials concluded three days of talks with US diplomats.

Over the weekend, Mr Zelenskyy said he had discussed "next steps" with Mr Trump's advisers and was "determined to keep working in good faith".

The incident took place shortly after 8am on Sunday, when two women were allegedly robbed of their suitcases after leaving the car park lift within the airport's Terminal 3 building.

The alleged robbers then sprayed them with what is believed to be pepper spray, which affected others nearby.

Armed police responded and arrested a 31-year-old man on suspicion of robbery and assault close to the scene on Sunday. He was released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Now, a 24-year-old man in Lambeth has been arrested on suspicion of robbery and assault and a 23-year-old woman on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery, the Metropolitan Police said.

The pair remain in custody.

London Ambulance Service attended the scene and treated 21 people, including a three-year-old girl, who had been hit with the noxious spray in a multi-storey car park.

Five people were taken to hospital. Their injuries are not believed to be life-changing or life-threatening.

They have all since been discharged.

The incident caused delays and difficulties to passengers trying to get into the airport.

Some passengers said they were forced to wait three hours for a shuttle bus to the long-stay car park after their flight.

The service usually runs every 15 minutes.

There was also disruption to train and Tube services, with some delays on the Elizabeth and Piccadilly lines.

The 41-year-old also pleaded guilty to driving dangerously in areas of London before the fatal collision, which happened in Ilford, northeast London, shortly after 11.30pm on 18 October.

Yubin Tamang, 20, a student from Nepal, died two days after being hit by the rapper's BMW M5 in Redbridge Lane.

Police said Ghetts was driving in excess of 60mph in a 30mph zone, and hit Mr Tamang as he was crossing the road. He then failed to stop at the scene.

On Monday, the grime artist, whose real name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, appeared for a hearing at the Old Bailey via videolink from Pentonville prison, wearing a green polo shirt.

He pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and to driving dangerously in Tavistock Place, in the Bloomsbury area of central London, and on other roads in Camden, Islington and Hackney before the crash.

Mr Tamang's family, who had travelled to the UK, watched in court as the pleas were made. He was an only child who had been sent to complete his studies, the court heard.

Clarke-Samuel, a two-time Mercury Prize nominee and MOBO winner, has been in custody since a preliminary appearance at Barkingside Magistrates' Court on 27 October.

He will be sentenced in February. Judge Mark Lucraft KC told him the sentence would be custodial, but the length of his jail term is yet to be determined.

He was disqualified from driving with immediate effect - with the length of the ban also still to be set.

Speaking after the hearing on Monday, Detective Inspector Mark Braithwaite, of the Met's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said that while nothing could undo the loss felt by Mr Tamang's family, the guilty pleas marked "a step towards justice".

He added: "Split-second decisions behind the wheel can have devastating, life-changing consequences."

The Met Police said Clarke-Samuel's BMW was found by officers in the early hours of the day following the collision, parked near his home in Woodford. The car "displayed significant damage, including a smashed windscreen, extensive marks on the bonnet, damage to the front bumper and a missing wing mirror cover", the force said.

On Thursday 4 December, Clarke-Samuel was further charged with causing death by careless driving while over the alcohol limit. He did not enter a plea to this charge, nor a second count of dangerous driving following the incident, the force said.

The rapper was first nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2021, for his third album, Conflict Of Interest. His second nomination came for his fourth album, On Purpose, With Purpose, in 2024.

He was named best male artist at the MOBOs in 2021, and received the pioneer award for his contribution to British black culture in 2024.

Earlier this year, he was nominated for two Ivor Novello awards - for best album and best contemporary song.

He also had a role in the Netflix drama Supacell.

Amber warnings have been issued by the Met Office for large areas of South Wales and Cornwall from midnight to 10am on Tuesday.

Heavy rain will build from Monday evening, continuing through the night and into Tuesday morning, with between 50mm (two inches) and 75mm (three inches) falling over around nine hours.

As much as 100mm (four inches) may fall in a few exposed locations, forecasters said.

Deep or fast-flowing floodwaters are possible, causing damage to buildings and flooding homes and businesses, with roads cut off and travel disrupted.

Parts of northwest Scotland were already under an amber warning on Tuesday for "very strong" winds reaching as high as 90mph (145kmh) from 4pm until the end of the day.

Flying debris "could result in a danger to life" - and there could be damage to buildings and homes along with the risk of roofs being "blown off" due to the "very strong and disruptive winds", the Met Office warned.

Forecasters added there was the potential for large waves and beach material "being thrown" across sea fronts, roads and properties.

Storm Bram, named by the Irish weather service Met Eireann, could bring more than half a month's rainfall to some parts of the UK in just a 24-hour period, the agency said.

Yellow warnings for rain have also been issued for most of Wales, the South West and the central belt of Scotland, the Met Office said.

Yellow and orange warnings are in place across Ireland on Monday and Tuesday, with "very strong to gale force" winds forecast on Tuesday.

The Met Office said strong winds forecast from Monday evening through until Wednesday could cause disruption, with gusts of 50-60mph (80-97kmh) predicted widely and 70-80mph (113-129kmh) in some places.

A yellow weather warning for rain comes into force from 6pm on Monday, and will be in place until 2pm on Tuesday, covering parts of southwest England and Wales, and stretching to parts of Herefordshire and Hampshire.

The Met Office has also issued a yellow warning for high winds from Dorset to Cornwall and up to North Wales, in place from 10pm on Monday until 4pm on Tuesday.

It said transport networks could face disruption, with delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges, and coastal roads and seafronts affected by spray and large waves. Power outages are also possible.

Strong winds and rain can also cause delays to air and ferry transport, alongside road and train journeys.

From 6pm on Monday, up to 40mm of rain could fall in some areas, with 60-80mm of rain over Dartmoor and high ground in South Wales, which would amount to more than half the average monthly rainfall in December.

The predicted rainfall across southwest England and South Wales is expected to hit already saturated ground and could lead to difficult travel conditions.

There are also further yellow warnings for wind and rain on Tuesday across Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and northern England.

Yellow warnings for wind have been issued for Scotland and parts of northern England on Wednesday.

Met Office chief forecaster Dan Suri said the storm "will bring a very wet and windy spell of weather, with very strong winds and further heavy rain which falling over saturated ground, could cause flooding impacts".

He said gusts of "up to 90mph could be recorded" within the amber wind warning over northwest Scotland, while "gusts of 50-60 mph, and perhaps 70mph in a few spots, are expected across Wales, southwest England and Northern Ireland".

The Met Office said it is possible 100mm [of rain will fall] over higher ground in the south of Wales and parts of Devon.

Sky News meteorologist Dr Christopher England warned many areas could face disruption from "damaging gusts".

"There could also be ferry disruption and that even outside the warning areas, potentially damaging gusts of over 50mph are possible," he said.

"It only takes one tree falling in the wrong place at the wrong time to have a significant impact."

The Met Office said the rest of the month remained unsettled, with further periods of low pressure predicted.

It said it is too early to provide an accurate forecast for the Christmas period.
