Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news: | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Nat Fraser faces a retrial for the murder of his wife Arlene after the | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
appeal court overturns his original conviction. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Religious bigotry at football matches, or online, could carry a | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
five year prison sentence under new plans to tackle sectarianism. There | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
is also a crackdown on Internet hate sites. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Life through a lens: an optician has come up with a solution for | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
people suffering a rare condition which means they can't remember | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
faces. I can actually see someone's whole face at once. As opposed to | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
just seeing different features, I can see the whole thing together. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Face blindness affects around 3% of the population. Also tonight: | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
We're on board with some of the best riders in the world for the | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
biggest ever bike event to visit Scotland. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
The appeal court in Edinburgh has ruled that the Elgin businessman, | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Nat Fraser, should face a retrial for the murder of his wife Arlene. | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
The judges quashed his original conviction after an earlier hearing | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
:01:26. | :01:28. | ||
at the UK Supreme court ruled it had been unsafe. | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
This case has dominated headlines for 13 years. In recent weeks, it | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
has sparked a real row between the UK Supreme Court and the Scottish | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
government. The First Minister Alex Salmond went there to say the UK | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
Supreme Court should have no role in Scots law. Whatever the now, | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
whatever the debate, at the centre of it all lies the disappearance of | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
one woman and one man who stands accused of her murder. On his way | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
back to prison, Nat Fraser will once again stand trial accused of | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
murdering his wife. Arlene Fraser disappear in 1998. She was last | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
seen waving her children after school. She was due to meet with a | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
divorce lawyer later that day, but never made that appointment. Her | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
body has never been found. Her husband, Nat Fraser, was found | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
:02:29. | :02:31. | ||
guilty of her murder in 2003. fight for the tours will continue. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
He was sentenced to 25 years in prison, but it is case here to the | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
UK Supreme Court, to argue he had capped -- suffered a miscarriage of | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
justice. He claimed crucial evidence about Arlene Fraser's | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
rings had not been made available to all the lawyers involved in the | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
case. The UK Supreme Court made this ruling: the court holds that | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
the trial would have been significantly different had the | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
undisclosed evidence be made available. The case goes back to | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
the Court of Appeal where three judges quashed his conviction and | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
ordered a retrial. Arlene Fraser's family waited weeks for a decision, | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
and after a lot of legal wrangling they have won. Nat Fraser is on his | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
way back to prison in West Lothian. The same judges to quash his | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
conviction also refused him bail. This former fruit and veg salesman | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
who has served eight years in prison knows he now faces a retrial. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
The Crown now have two months to prepare a new case against Nat | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
Fraser. Any date for a retrial has yet to be announced. As for the row | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
between the UK Supreme Court and Scottish government that, a panel | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
of experts has been set up to look at that position of that court in | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
Scots law. Arlene Fraser family -- Arlene Fraser's family will go home | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
to Elgin tonight waiting for answers to the questions, the most | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
prominent being what happened to their daughter. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
The Scottish government has published details of new laws to | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
tackle sectarianism which it hopes to have in place before the new | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
football season. Abusive behaviour at matches and pubs where games are | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
being broadcast will carry prison terms of up to five years. Anyone | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
expressing sectarian hatred on the internet will also be punished. So | :04:20. | :04:30. | |
:04:30. | :04:33. | ||
what changes will it bring in the football stands? | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
The kind of behaviour this new legislation is trying to eradicate. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
Violence, threats and disorder marred the last football season. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Celtic manager Neil Lennon faced a catalogue of incidents. He was | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
attacked by a fan and send parcel bombs. The Scottish government said | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
they had to act and are now rushing to get the laws in place for the | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
start of the season next month. Stop tolerating it, and I think | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
that is one of the problems. We tend to shrug our shoulders and | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
thighs not bother about it. It shames us in the eyes of the world | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
and we have begun to see that and understand that, and it is time | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
they began to tackle it. Two new offences are being created. If you | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
chanting a offensive or sectarian songs you could be jailed for up to | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
five years or given an unlimited fine. It is not just that matches, | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
it could be at a pub where you are watching the match other big screen. | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
It is the same level of punishment for 13 behaviour and the internet. | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Forums and can carry death threats and the government wants to clamp | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
down on that. What does this mean for football fans? There could be | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
confusion over what can and cannot be sung. There is no list of banned | :05:53. | :06:03. | |
:06:03. | :06:05. | ||
songs. We're not like to say which songs are sectarian, bigoted up -- | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
or otherwise. That is up to a court to decide. We will get a mind | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
around it and we will unfortunately have to arrest people who breach it. | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
One former Celtic director believes the legislation is unworkable. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
will mean absolutely nothing to fans in practical terms. The way to | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
cure this is by long-term social education. It is a deep-rooted | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
social problem. It is not only associated with the ball but that | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
is where it manifests itself. Rangers and Celtic have all | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
welcomed the new Bill, on the day it was announced the Old Firm Derby | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
would move to 20th December. Perhaps by then, we will know | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
whether these steps are leading anywhere. | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come: | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
Travel trouble as part of the Kessock bridge at Inverness is to | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
close on Sunday for repairs that are going to last eight days. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
And why Children's Laureate and author of The Gruffalo Julia | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Donaldson is championing libraries. In sport: we'll be hearing from | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
Andy Murray just ahead of Wimbledon. I also tell you how Scottish | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
golfers are faring at the US Open, and why these young athletes had | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
been talking to the Prime Minister. The Labour leader Ed Miliband | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
joined campaigning in the Inverclyde by-election today. His | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
visit to one of Scotland's most deprived communities after he was | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
accused of Labour becoming a dip party that is ripping off society. | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
Ed Miliband says he wants Labour to be a party of grafters. He met a | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
few as he talked jobs on a visit to Cannock. His critics accuse Labour | :08:02. | :08:11. | |
of managing decline in community such as this. We all know that in | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
every community there is a minority of people who can work but are not | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
and need to be persuaded to do so. I also say that those who cannot | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
work need protection and that is Labour's role. The SNP visited a | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
local marina to promote tourist facilities. They know they should | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
be a safe Labour seat but think they can attempt locals to change. | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
I am from Greenock, and Greenock's biggest exporters people. That | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
needs to change, and we need to leva assets, whether that is | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
tourism are something else. Ed Miliband cannot offer that. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Inverclyde is not typical Tory territory, but the party are | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
braving the weather and the likelihood of defeat, insisting | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
they can make a difference in places like this. I am very aware | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
that in Inverclyde there have been huge social challenges. We want to | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
ensure that in the United Kingdom we have a benefit system that | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
generally does help those who genuinely need help. The Liberal | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
Democrats have not really featured in this campaign so far. Heavy | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
defeat here in last month's election has left them demoralised | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
and defeated. We have to prove that we have not gone away and are still | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
here, and will still be here next year for local elections. Are you | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
expecting Nick Clegg here to campaign? I don't know. Would you | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
welcome than? He would be welcome but they don't know what kind of | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
reception he would get. Inverclyde by-election takes place | :09:49. | :09:58. | |
on June 30th. The mother of one of two teenage | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
girls who jumped from the Erskine bridge in 2009 has told an inquiry | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
that she had taken an overdose and cut her wrists in the weeks before | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
she died. Neve Lafferty and her friend Georgia Rowe died after | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
falling more than 100 feet into the Clyde. Today, Neve's mother | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
Collette Bysouth told the inquiry that her daughter had absconded | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
from a residential unit in Helensburgh and then taken an | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
overdose. She then cut her wrists while at an open unit at the Good | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Shepherd Centre in Bishopton and had also said she wanted to jump | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
from the Erskine Bridge. An optician in Ayr has devised a | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
solution to a little-known condition called face blindness. | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
Sufferers can't recognise, or remember, people's faces. But it | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
seems coloured lenses can fix the problem, which may affect as many | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
:10:44. | :10:47. | ||
as 3% of the population. For Alan Mendelsohn, a simple pair | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
of blue glasses has changed his life. Allen suffers from face | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
blindness, and recognising friends in the street was impossible. | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
feel really bad that you don't remember someone's face, and you | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
don't recognise someone if they are shouting for you in the street. You | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
think, who are they? You wonder, have I seen them before? You get | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
really nervous and you then have to try to work out from the | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:24. | ||
conversation where you met them. is not just forgetfulness. His | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
brain is not receiving the right information about what is in front | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
of him. Then, his optician realised coloured lenses made a difference. | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Essentially, what we do is take out the light that is causing the | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
problem. If you take the light out, faces suddenly seemed to be right | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
immediately. The effect is so dramatic that he has to shut his | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
eyes for a while when he changed his glasses to allow his brain to | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
get used to the new information. can now see someone's a whole face | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
at once. Instead of just seen the eyes of the nose, I see the whole | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
thing together. It is kind of weird. It is thought his many as one and | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
50 people suffer from face blindness. More work is needed to | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
clarify whether a simple pair of glasses can make them make sense of | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
the world. Some of the other stories across | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
Scotland this Friday: Former Celtic goalkeeper Artur | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Boruc is to receive what is believed to be a record payment for | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
an out-of-court settlement in a defamation case in Scotland. The | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
footballer took legal action after the News of the World wrongly | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
accused him of sending mobile phone texts and a photo of a sexual | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
nature to another woman while his girlfriend was pregnant. News Group | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
Newspapers, which publishes the newspaper, have made a full apology | :12:39. | :12:49. | |
:12:49. | :12:51. | ||
and agreed to pay Mr Boruc �70,000. A man has appeared in court charged | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
with the murder of 88-year-old Stirling pensioner John Gillespie. | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
It is alleged he attacked Mr Gillespie on 19th April. He | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
demanded his lot and had a mother walking stick before dragging him | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
along the ground to Severe up injury. He made no clear | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
declaration at Stirling Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody. | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
A meeting of evangelical members of the Church of Scotland has called | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
the ordination of gay ministers a dangerous and disintegrative step | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
and said it may lead to some congregations leaving the | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
denomination. Last month, the Church's General Assembly voted to | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
provisionally endorse the ordination of gay people. But today | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
around 600 church elders and ministers met in Glasgow to show | :13:31. | :13:41. | |
Motorists in the Highlands can expect long delays from this | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
weekend. Major repair work gets underway on the Kessock Bridge on | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
:13:55. | :13:56. | ||
the A9 near Inverness this Sunday. It is the main access and exit road | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
from Inverness and every day, 33,000 vehicles thunder across its | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
four lanes. But from Sunday, traffic cones will be going out, | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
signalling a week-long course hole. There has been some well failures | :14:16. | :14:26. | |
:14:26. | :14:28. | ||
on it and the need to be the fear - - the need to be repaired. Experts | :14:28. | :14:38. | |
:14:38. | :14:38. | ||
say the tailbacks could stretch back for hours. We understand that | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
it is an emergency repair and has to be done. But I think they have | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
been slow off the mark letting people know what is going to happen. | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
If you have got some flexibility in your working patterns, it would be | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
helpful if you could leave earlier or even better, work from home. | :15:02. | :15:10. | |
Also, car-sharing is a good idea. That good news for motorists is | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
that the stoppage should only take a week. The bad news is that is | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
only a rehearsal. In two weeks' time, the entire bridge will need | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
to be relayed, meaning delays for the next six months. | :15:30. | :15:40. | |

The countdown to Armed Forces day David Currie has the sport. | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
We are just a few days away from the start of this year's Wimbledon | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
tennis championships and now we know who Andy Murray will play in | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
his opening match. He is Daniel Gimeno-Traver of Spain, | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
who is ranked 56 in the world. But the way the draw is structured, | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
Murray could have to beat a more familiar and much more formidable | :16:00. | :16:09. | |
Spaniard if he is to reach the final for the first time. Next time | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
we see Andy Murray on court, he will be up against this man. The | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
Spaniard has played at Wimbledon twice before, but only won one | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
match. Andy Murray has played him twice before and beaten him twice. | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
But Rafa Nadal could await Murray later in the tournament. A mare's | :16:33. | :16:42. | |
run comes to an end that the hand of the great Rafa Nadal. He money | :16:42. | :16:51. | |
in the semi-finals of the French Open just a few weeks ago. He also | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
beat him at Wimbledon last year. You need to be very switched-on | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
from the first moment when you play Rafa Nadal. Money had a chance to | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
switch off when he took part in an exhibition match, or rather, he | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
would have, had it not been called off for the bad weather. | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
The two Scottish golfers, Stephen Gallacher and Martin Laird, are | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
unlikely to make the cut at the US Open. The pair are both five over | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
par after carding second-round 74s. With the projected cut currently at | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
three over par, the Scots are all of 16 strokes behind runaway leader | :17:34. | :17:42. | |
Rory McIlroy. He holed this sensational shot as part of his | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
round of 66. If we hold on long enough, we will see it going and | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
One of the first signs that the start of the new football season is | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
not that far away is the publication of the SPL fixture list. | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
And it is out today. Rangers are at home to Hearts on | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
the opening Saturday on July 23. Celtic are away to Hibs, Aberdeen | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
take on St Johnstone and Inverness host Motherwell. | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Newly-promoted Dunfermline have a home game against St Mirren and the | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
match between Dundee United and Kilmarnock is on Sunday, July 24. | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
With riders reaching speeds of 180 miles an hour, the British | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
Superbikes Championship is billed as the pinnacle of two-wheeled | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
sport in the UK. This weekend, it is being held at | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
Knockhill. Around 30,000 fans are expected to brave the elements at | :18:25. | :18:35. | |
:18:35. | :18:35. | ||
the Fife race track, which culminates in Sunday's final. On | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
and off the track, this weekend will be no place for the faint- | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
hearted. As the Superbike riders tested themselves on the rain- | :18:46. | :18:55. | |
soaked circuit, the spectators made the most of the decision. It does | :18:55. | :19:05. | |
:19:05. | :19:07. | ||
not put people off. Everyone who comes here is expecting it to rain! | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
The riders expect their �85,000 bikes to be set up to cope with the | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
:19:22. | :19:23. | ||
adverse weather. And the power lane, you get a sense of just how | :19:23. | :19:31. | |
powerful the superbikes are. I am this is what 180 miles an or looks | :19:31. | :19:40. | |
like. Elbows, it just inches from the tarmac. But is very hectic, | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
there are 35 riders out there and everyone is on it from the very | :19:45. | :19:55. | |
:19:55. | :19:59. | ||
start. It is a risky business, as one of the rider's nose. He broke a | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
few bones in the last race, but fortunately got the all-clear today | :20:04. | :20:12. | |
to take part. It is going to be great, I have got a lot of friends | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
and family coming to watch. It adds a little bit of pressure, but it is | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
good. This weekend, 157 British athletes | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
head to Greece to participate in the Athens Special Olympics World | :20:24. | :20:33. | |
games - and over half of them are Scottish. Those are the biggest | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
games for people with learning disabilities. Paul Bradley has been | :20:37. | :20:45. | |
out speaking to two of them. Preparations are well under way it | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
in Greece as the torches lit in to welcome the visitors. For one | :20:53. | :21:02. | |
athlete, there is a chance to add to his collection of medals. | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
medals and top are the ones I got from the very first Games in | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
Glasgow. I was very happy when I got them. There was tears and | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
everything. I am really dedicated to what I do, so dedicated that I | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
believe you have gone to the trouble of getting a tattoo? Yes, I | :21:28. | :21:36. | |
have got 82 with the Olympic rings on them. I am sure it will be | :21:36. | :21:43. | |
amazing. I am doing as much practising as I can. Some people | :21:43. | :21:51. | |
got picked to go and see the Prime Minister in London. He was going to | :21:51. | :22:01. | |
:22:01. | :22:06. | ||
play with Barack Obama and he wanted some golfing tips. Did you | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
:22:16. | :22:17. | ||
give him any? Nor. Quite right, keep them to yourself! | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
It has been exactly a week since Glasgow-based writer Julia | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
Donaldson was announced as the UK's latest Children's Laureate. The | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
author of more than 150 books, including the best-selling Gruffalo, | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
promised more performances and to champion the work of libraries. | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
And she is been true to her word. Today she was in Edinburgh to | :22:32. | :22:42. | |
:22:42. | :22:44. | ||
launch a new summer reading programme. He sat on the seashore, | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
as thick end her hand. For Julia Donaldson, this is what it is all | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
about. It is a scheme designed to promote reading during the summer | :22:57. | :23:06. | |
holidays. If I am at the Book Festival on a reading, I do not | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
just read the stories, but want to get the children involved. I think | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
some good comes of it. They seem to get really involved and enjoy it | :23:17. | :23:27. | |
:23:27. | :23:30. | ||
and I think it helps their self- confidence. The author of 150 books | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
hopes the profile will help the campaign to protect or libraries | :23:33. | :23:41. | |
from cuts and closure. A I am not going to get to political by doing | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
events in libraries. I just want people to realise how much fun they | :23:46. | :23:55. | |
are. Traditionally, summer sees the drop-off in library use, but the | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
circus theme of today certainly appealed to many of the youngsters. | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
:24:11. | :24:13. | ||
I am going to get a library card. really like all the books. | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
highlight meeting the author for the first time. She is already | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
planning a national performance for the end of her two-year tenure as | :24:25. | :24:35. | |
:24:35. | :24:40. | ||
Children's Laureate. I am sure there were Hailstone steady! What | :24:40. | :24:50. | |
:24:50. | :24:55. | ||
Yes, here is this rain that has been affecting us today. | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
Unfortunately come tomorrow, it will push him again in the early | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
morning. In the early morning, temperatures down to nine or 10 | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
degrees. But this rain is going to be with us for most of us this | :25:12. | :25:21. | |
weekend. Further north, in the east you could get some sunshine. But | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
further down in both East and West areas, we could get some very heavy | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
rain in places. It will be wet through all this century bell, but | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
further north should remain dry. This rain band is pushing | :25:35. | :25:45. | |
:25:45. | :25:46. | ||
southwards. We could eye c a high of 70 degrees up in it all up ill. | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
The north-west Highlands is where the best of the weather will be. | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
The further east there you go, the worst of the rain. The Angus Hull - | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
- the Angus Hills will be particularly bad. Here are the | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
:26:17. | :26:20. | ||
The second half of the afternoon of Saturday and into the evening, that | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
rain continues to sink South and the further north you are, you | :26:25. | :26:33. | |
should have clear skies, although it will be a bit chilly. We have | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
got some relatively settled conditions coming in for the second | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
half of the weekend. It will not be wall-to-wall sunshine, but we | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
should and temperatures getting up to 15 or 16 degrees Celsius. Into | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
next week, again we are back to the unsettled weather. This low | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
pressure is pushing him from the Atlantic and means that more rain | :27:00. | :27:10. | |
:27:10. | :27:13. | ||
is on the way. Weather? Now just before 7.00pm, a summary | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
of tonight's top stories. The Appeal Court in Edinburgh has | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
ruled that the Elgin businessman Nat Fraser should face a retrial | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
for the murder of his wife Arlene. The judges quashed his original | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
conviction after an earlier hearing at the UK Supreme Court ruled it | :27:24. | :27:31. | |
had been unsafe. A major shake-up to the pension fund has been | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
announced by the government. The Scottish government has | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
published details of new laws to tackle sectarianism which it hopes | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
to have in place before the new football season. Abusive behaviour | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
at matches and pubs where games are being broadcast will carry prison | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
terms of up to five years. Anyone expressing sectarian hatred on the | :27:49. | :27:52. |
