Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news: | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
Schools out on St Andrew's Day, teachers vote to strike later this | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
month in the first walk out for nearly a quarter of the century. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:24 | |
Nearly every school in the country will be effective. Ruth Davidson is | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
duly elected leader of the Scottish Conservatives and Unionist Party. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
So six months as an MSP and Ruth Davidson is tonight the new leader | 0:00:33 | 0:00:38 | |
of the Scottish Conservatives. The Prime Minister offers his | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
congratulations as we look at the task ahead of her. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
The family whose mother was killed in this train crash forgive the man | 0:00:45 | 0:00:53 | |
whose mistake caused her death. is the only one there seemed to try | 0:00:53 | 0:01:00 | |
and help. My family do not hold anything against him. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
And United for a quarter of a century. 25 or glittering years in | 0:01:05 | 0:01:12 | |
Manchester. Most of Scotland's schools to be | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
closed in the first strike by teachers in almost a quarter of the | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
century. Members of the EIS have voted for the one-day stoppage on | 0:01:20 | 0:01:27 | |
November 30th in a dispute over coast changes to pensions. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
-- proposed changes. In just over three weeks, the gates will shut in | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
schools right across Scotland. Teachers don't in chalk over | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
Government plans to change pensions. The dispute is very much over | 0:01:41 | 0:01:47 | |
pensions which are part of the salary and remuneration package. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Clearly, the Government thinks we should have to be greater | 0:01:50 | 0:01:56 | |
contributions, work longer and get less at the end. Echoes of the | 0:01:56 | 0:02:02 | |
1980s, when teachers and later famous friends to to the streets in | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
a dispute over pay. The staggered strikes lasted over a year. This | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
time, top of just one day, but will parents hit by tough times | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
themselves by it? I will have to miss going to university, it is | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
quite important and I have no one else to look after the children. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
will be a nuisance at the time, provisions will have to be made, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:30 | |
but I agree with it. I have four children, so my kids will miss out | 0:02:30 | 0:02:37 | |
on education. This much last year in Glasgow, the first sign unrest | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
was on the way back. Today, an overwhelming vote for strike. The | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
Scottish Government says it is disappointed. We quite understand | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
the concern, because the Scottish Government disagrees fundamentally | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
with the UK Government about how they are going about the whole | 0:02:53 | 0:02:59 | |
process of pension reform. But we very much regret that EIS members | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
have decided take industrial action. Tens of thousands of primary and | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
secondary teachers are set to take action. Even primary head teachers, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
once known for manning the barricades, have voted in principle | 0:03:12 | 0:03:18 | |
for the strike. November 30th is shaping up to be a date to remember | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
for Scottish schools. The former BBC journalist Ruth | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Davidson has been elected as the new leader of the Scottish | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
Conservatives. Ms Davidson has only been an MSP since May. She was | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
chosen to succeed Annabel Goldie after vigorously opposing Murdo | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
Fraser's suggesting that the Tories in Scotland should be disbanded and | 0:03:41 | 0:03:48 | |
relaunched as a new centre-right party. Glenn Campbell reports. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
The key contenders came to the count one by one. They brought in | 0:03:52 | 0:03:58 | |
the ballot boxes. Party members had for MS Ps to choose from. To find a | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
leader for the party at Holyrood and for the first time, someone to | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
lead the wider party in Scotland. Rumours soon spread that Rhys | 0:04:07 | 0:04:14 | |
Davids and was ahead. -- Ruth Davidson. After several hours, | 0:04:14 | 0:04:21 | |
victory was indeed her as. declare Ruth Davidson the duly | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
elected leader of the Scottish Conservatives and Unionist Party. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
Murdo Fraser was the first of her three defeated rivals to offer her | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
a kiss of congratulation. His bold plan to break away from the British | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Conservatives to form a new centre right force for Scotland seems to | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
have cost him the job and handed it to a political newcomer. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
campaigned on a platform of change, there is what I need to do to | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
change the party to make it a modern fighting force, so we are | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
equipped to take on the other parties in Scotland. But there is | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
also lot to do in terms of changing the way in which we deliver the | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
message as well to people, and that will involve bringing in other | 0:05:01 | 0:05:11 | |
0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | ||
voices. He is the leadership result. -- here is. At this stage, Jackson | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
Carlaw and Margaret Mitchell trailed in third and 4th places. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:24 | |
When they dropped out of the race, and second preferences were | 0:05:24 | 0:05:29 | |
redistributed, Bruce Davidson finished further ahead. -- Ruth | 0:05:29 | 0:05:37 | |
Davidson. So, who is the new leader? She is a | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
former BBC journalist. Inspired by David Cameron, she joined the | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
Tories two years ago. Elected to Holyrood in May, her political rise | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
has been rapid. Glenn Campbell joins me now from | 0:05:52 | 0:06:01 | |
Edinburgh. What does this mean for the Conservatives in Scotland? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:06 | |
It is surprising in that a few weeks ago, she was certainly not | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
regarded as a front-runner and it is surprising in that Tory leaders | 0:06:09 | 0:06:15 | |
tend to be a bit longer in the tooth. But Ruth Davidson now is the | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
youngest leader of any main political party in Scotland, in | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
fact, probably the youngest since devolution. And she has a big job | 0:06:23 | 0:06:30 | |
to rebuild her party and to build a united team around her. Because | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
only two of the 15 MSPs at Holyrood other than herself chose to back a | 0:06:35 | 0:06:41 | |
campaign. I think she will reach out by offering Murdo Fraser a big | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
job, he may have a big decision whether or not to take that or take | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
a back seat, because he effectively said the party couldn't return to | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
victory in its current form. One thing I think he will not do is | 0:06:54 | 0:07:00 | |
break away, because he knows how hard it is to draw voters-1 centre | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
right ballot, presumably it would be harder still if there were two. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come before | 0:07:07 | 0:07:12 | |
seven: Family and friends of the former trade union leader Campbell | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
Christie celebrate his life to of service. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
And in sport, and Neil Lennon tries to get to the bottom of Celtic's | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
injury crisis, could it have something to do with their multi- | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
million-pound training complex? Ricky Burns weighs in for what he | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
says is the biggest fight of his life. All that and Sir Alex | 0:07:30 | 0:07:38 | |
Ferguson. The family of a Scottish woman | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
killed in the D B a much of a high- speed train in Cumbria say they | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
hold Network Rail responsible. 84- year-old Margaret Masson died when | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
the Virgin Express from London to Glasgow came off the track near | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
Grayrigg. Today, an inquest found that a badly maintained set of | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
points had caused the crash. It was remarkable that more people | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
were not killed. This train had been travelling at 95 mph when it | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
derailed. Margaret Masson, and 84- year-old grandmother, died in the | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
crash. More than 80 people were injured, including her daughter, | 0:08:14 | 0:08:24 | |
0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | ||
who was at today's verdict. I miss my mother very much. What sort of | 0:08:26 | 0:08:33 | |
woman was she? A happy woman. She loved her family. A badly | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
maintained set of points has been blamed for the crash. The engineer | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
who should have checked them, told the inquest he had forgotten to do | 0:08:40 | 0:08:46 | |
it. David Lewis, seen here at the back of this group, said his team | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
was understaffed and under pressure and that he had e-mailed his bosses | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
the year before to say the inspection process was a shambles. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
Today, Margaret Masson's family say they did not hold him responsible. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:08 | |
0:09:09 | 0:09:10 | ||
This man was sincere, he showed remorse, and he has more -- much | 0:09:10 | 0:09:16 | |
respect in my family, we don't hold anything against him. Nobody | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
listened to him. The coroner also praised the driver's courage and | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
character. He stayed at the controls as it crashed. Weeks | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
afterwards, he spoke to the BBC from his home in Dumbarton. There | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
was nothing that was going to save the train. I have to try anyway. I | 0:09:34 | 0:09:40 | |
could not do that sitting with the passengers. This inquest has been a | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
chance for Margaret Masson's family to draw a line under what happened. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
Network Rail has apologised, but a family believes the company has a | 0:09:48 | 0:09:57 | |
lot to answer for. The same network rail but many of her life. -- BBC | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |

anniversary of the worst offshore helicopter accident in Scottish | 0:11:13 | 0:11:18 | |
history. 45 men died when their Sion it crashed off the southern | 0:11:18 | 0:11:23 | |
tip of Shetland. It was caused by mechanical failure but was an event | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
which saw workers begin to stand up for the rights for the first time, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:32 | |
the pressure leading to the massive helicopter is being withdrawn. -- | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
helicopters. A wreckage of the shin up which | 0:11:35 | 0:11:42 | |
crashed into the sea of Shetland on November 6th, 1986. These | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
helicopters were immediately grounded, but Robert Maxwell tried | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
hard to bring them back, even taking a flight himself to prove | 0:11:50 | 0:11:56 | |
they were safe. We have no trepidation. The crash should not | 0:11:56 | 0:12:02 | |
have happened. But all life is at risk. Perhaps unsurprisingly, those | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
words angered workers. They came together to fight the cause against | 0:12:06 | 0:12:13 | |
the use of the shindig, and they won. Maxwell was probably the best | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
person the could have had to campaign against. It was seen as a | 0:12:17 | 0:12:24 | |
publicity stunt. By a multi- millionaire. Cool on a day-to-day | 0:12:24 | 0:12:32 | |
basis, had nothing to do with offshore. As we remember those who | 0:12:32 | 0:12:38 | |
did not come home, so will we remember those who return. A | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
service was held for the fortified man who died. But for the rescue | 0:12:43 | 0:12:51 | |
workers on the day, there was a glimmer of hope. -- the 45 men. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
rescued the survivors, that was not too difficult, but they were not in | 0:12:55 | 0:13:03 | |
a very good condition. We had to go and get them to hospital, but we | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
had to wait to make sure there were no other survivors who would pop up | 0:13:07 | 0:13:15 | |
to the surface. There were no more. 18 months later, came Piper Alpha. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |

leader Campbell Christie has been celebrated at a ceremony at Falkirk | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
Football Club, where he was chairman. Mr Christie, formerly the | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |

74. Familiar faces from politics, industry and sport. They all came | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
to the stadium to celebrate the life of Campbell Christie. The form | 0:13:58 | 0:14:06 | |
or union boss, aged 17, his mother gave him money for his fare, his | 0:14:06 | 0:14:12 | |
rent and his union subscription. It was the start of a lifetime in the | 0:14:12 | 0:14:18 | |
trade union movement. Then there it is time for all of us today to say | 0:14:18 | 0:14:28 | |
goodbye. I want to take this opportunity to say we love and miss | 0:14:28 | 0:14:34 | |
you delay. You were an inspiring man. He won a beloved grandfather | 0:14:34 | 0:14:41 | |
and I will miss your loving presence always. Throughout the | 0:14:41 | 0:14:46 | |
years, he battled to save industries such as Ravenscraig. He | 0:14:46 | 0:14:53 | |
believed they could prosper if they were only given the opportunity. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:59 | |
used to get upset at people who were big men in the steel industry | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
in Lanarkshire. In their own locality they were big people. They | 0:15:05 | 0:15:13 | |
were just cast on to the scrapheap. We Ravenscraig was lost and the | 0:15:13 | 0:15:20 | |
trauma of seeing the heavy industries collapsed forced a way | 0:15:20 | 0:15:27 | |
for new industries in Scotland. was Campbell who had the foresight | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
and courage to take the lead any civic coalition which transcended | 0:15:33 | 0:15:39 | |
party structure. Were never great fixers of Scottish politics has | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
gone, but Campbell Christie it will be remembered by his substantial | 0:15:45 | 0:15:53 | |
legacy to public life. Bells ringing across the country, or | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
relay runners taking film from cinema to cinema and an open-air | 0:15:57 | 0:16:03 | |
concert in Stirling. It is just one of 40 events planned to celebrate | 0:16:03 | 0:16:11 | |
the cultural impact of the London 2012 Olympics. Ringing out the | 0:16:11 | 0:16:20 | |
start of the 2012 Olympics. That is what artist Martin Creed plants, | 0:16:20 | 0:16:27 | |
using every bell in the United Kingdom. I do not know what are the | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
best ones to play, so maybe it would be best to just ring up all | 0:16:30 | 0:16:39 | |
of them. From a musical performance inspired by Glasgow's latest museum | 0:16:39 | 0:16:45 | |
and a football pitch in the forest, there is no shortage of ideas or | 0:16:45 | 0:16:53 | |
ambition. One of the great ideas is that the festival can come to local | 0:16:53 | 0:16:58 | |
communities all round Scotland. We can create a programme with | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
creative Scotland, in partnership with local communities, much of it | 0:17:02 | 0:17:07 | |
three, which brings some of that excitement to Scotland to share it | 0:17:07 | 0:17:16 | |
with the community and sell the country around the world. Not least | 0:17:16 | 0:17:23 | |
in Stirling, where the children found that even a Venezuelan | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
orchestra of which inspired them will come to Scotland. After | 0:17:27 | 0:17:32 | |
working with the children for four days, they will stage a huge | 0:17:32 | 0:17:39 | |
outdoor concert. They're coming to work with you. That is how much we | 0:17:39 | 0:17:45 | |
believe in you. It is people coming to help us become the best | 0:17:45 | 0:17:51 | |
orchestra we can be. For feels like this are being transformed across | 0:17:51 | 0:17:58 | |
the country, not for sporting purposes, but for cultural events. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
This one that stuck below Stirling Castle will be one of more than 40 | 0:18:01 | 0:18:07 | |
events taking place across Scotland. No, let us see how the sport is | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
looking this evening. Celtic's injury problem could be | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
down to the club's training pitch, says manager Neil Lennon. According | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
to Lennon, only four or five of his players have remained injury free | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
this season. Heel is now faced with mustering a side to face second | 0:18:19 | 0:18:29 | |
0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | ||
placed Motherwell on Sunday. Here is Hooper. He stays on say dance | 0:18:32 | 0:18:39 | |
scores. Celtic defeated the French state on Thursday, but once again | 0:18:39 | 0:18:47 | |
they had to do it it with the makeshift side. Looking at the | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
surface here, it can be quite slippy when it gets wet. It might | 0:18:52 | 0:18:57 | |
have contributed to a couple of soft tissue injuries we have | 0:18:57 | 0:19:07 | |
0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | ||
received. It is a terrible back- pass. Inconsistency has been the | 0:19:12 | 0:19:20 | |
problem for Celtic this season. Players think that the changing | 0:19:20 | 0:19:27 | |
personnel has something to do with it. No such problems for the | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
manager of the month, Motherwell manager Stuart McCall, who play | 0:19:32 | 0:19:40 | |
host to Celtic on Sunday. Realistically, can we split Celtic | 0:19:40 | 0:19:50 | |
and Rangers? Probably not. Can we win on Sunday? Yes, we can. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
After a delay of almost three weeks, the Hearts first team squad have | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
finally received their wages for October. They had threatened to | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
take their case to the Scottish Premier League, but after talks | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
with the manager and their union they decided to allow the club more | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
time. Ricky Burns has weighed in bang on | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
the nine stone nine pounds mark for his WBO Interim World Lightweight | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
title fight at Wembley Arena tomorrow night. It is the first | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
time the former super-featherweight champion has stepped into the ring | 0:20:12 | 0:20:20 | |
at his new weight. He takes on Australian Michael Katsidis. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:27 | |
will be a very hard fight ahead of me. Michael is a great fighter, but | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
I have always said that the bet and the opponent in front of me, the | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
better I will be. The most successful Scottish | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
manager of all time has another reason to celebrate this weekend. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
Sir Alex Ferguson, the longest serving boss in the English Premier | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
league, will have been charge of Manchester United for a quarter of | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
a century. And he says he has no intention of slipping quietly into | 0:20:45 | 0:20:55 | |
0:20:55 | 0:20:55 | ||
retirement. 1986 - Sir Alex Ferguson steps of the team bus for | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
his first game in charge of Manchester United. 25 years on he | 0:21:00 | 0:21:09 | |
is still in charge. It is his silver jubilee. It has been a | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
fantastic spell for me. It is something you do not think is going | 0:21:13 | 0:21:19 | |
to happen. It is amazing that it that has lasted so long and I | 0:21:19 | 0:21:29 | |
0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | ||
appreciate that. He has led the club to a host of championships, | 0:21:32 | 0:21:38 | |
including two Champions League trophies. Just look all the teams | 0:21:38 | 0:21:43 | |
he has built. He has brought young players through the development | 0:21:43 | 0:21:50 | |
programme. I think he is the best manager there has ever been. The he | 0:21:50 | 0:21:59 | |
has had a few fall-outs with people along the way. He is just one of | 0:21:59 | 0:22:06 | |
these people that you can never quite read. One day, he can be a | 0:22:06 | 0:22:11 | |
brilliant worth and the next day, something might have upset him and | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
he is completely different. But that is one of his strengths. You | 0:22:16 | 0:22:24 | |
never quite know what you're going to get next. His reputation has | 0:22:24 | 0:22:29 | |
given him a few imitators. A few years ago, he announced his | 0:22:29 | 0:22:35 | |
retirement and then changed his mind. Can we look forward to his | 0:22:35 | 0:22:40 | |
Golden Jubilee in 2036? Today marked a significant | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
milestone for Scotland's only commando unit, as the final four | 0:22:43 | 0:22:49 | |
marines from 45 Commando completed their latest tour of Afghanistan. A | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
the Arbroath-based unit have emerged from the last six months | 0:22:51 | 0:22:55 | |
without suffering a single fatality - a cause for relief at their RM | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
Condor base, as locals were offered their first glimpse at a new | 0:22:58 | 0:23:08 | |
0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | ||
memorial garden. A world away from the heat and dust of Afghanistan | 0:23:10 | 0:23:18 | |
and, members of 45, and will give people at tour of the my new | 0:23:18 | 0:23:25 | |
memorial garden. The timing is significant. More than six months | 0:23:25 | 0:23:29 | |
after the Marines were sent to war, today mark the day the all where | 0:23:29 | 0:23:37 | |
counted back home safely. We have that some men badly injured, but we | 0:23:37 | 0:23:44 | |
have not had any fatalities. The fact that it has been a successful | 0:23:44 | 0:23:54 | |
0:23:54 | 0:23:54 | ||
tour has allowed us to come back and reflect on what we have done. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:59 | |
The cost of previous campaigns is never forgotten. The centrepiece of | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
the memorial garden it is this memorial made of granite with the | 0:24:02 | 0:24:12 | |
0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | ||
names of all the people from 45 Commando killed in service. For the | 0:24:13 | 0:24:21 | |
commanding officer, many of the people where his friends. A very | 0:24:21 | 0:24:28 | |
good friend of mine got killed in 2001. To see his name up there is | 0:24:28 | 0:24:34 | |
the massive thing for myself personally. In July, it was | 0:24:34 | 0:24:43 | |
announced that the command unit would leave their Arbroath visit. - | 0:24:43 | 0:24:48 | |
- the or Arbroath days, as part of the spending review for the armed | 0:24:48 | 0:24:57 | |
services. It is a fantastic place for the men to come as part of | 0:24:57 | 0:25:06 | |
their recovery. For now, at the focus is on the official opening of | 0:25:06 | 0:25:14 | |
the garden. It is the very fitting place to mark Remembrance Day. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:23 | |
Let us see what kind of weekend we It is not looking too bad at all. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:28 | |
We can expect pretty settled conditions over the next few days. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:35 | |
That will start tonight, we should be clear and cool for most of us. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
For a time, some rain pushing into the Borders and pushing up the East | 0:25:39 | 0:25:45 | |
Side of the coast. But for the bulk of us, clear and cool, with | 0:25:45 | 0:25:50 | |
overnight temperatures down to four or five degrees Celsius. Looking | 0:25:50 | 0:25:55 | |
ahead to tomorrow, we have this ridge of high pressure building | 0:25:55 | 0:26:00 | |
over Ireland and that will bring us some dry and bright weather. In | 0:26:00 | 0:26:07 | |
terms of the detail, there will be some mist and fog patches, but a | 0:26:07 | 0:26:13 | |
pretty good day after that. Across the whole of the country, has | 0:26:13 | 0:26:19 | |
plenty of sunshine on offer. 10 major ways, roundabout below them | 0:26:19 | 0:26:27 | |
or 12 degrees Celsius. There will be some cloud around. Further north, | 0:26:27 | 0:26:33 | |
it is the similar story. High temperatures of 10 are relevant | 0:26:33 | 0:26:38 | |
degrees Celsius. If you're out hill-walking or claiming, you could | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
see some showers to the far north of the region, but elsewhere, dry, | 0:26:43 | 0:26:51 | |
bright and sunny. In the east, sunny again, but those temperatures | 0:26:51 | 0:26:58 | |
will be a bit cooler on the top of these hills. If you're out on | 0:26:58 | 0:27:05 | |
inshore waters, you can expect forced three to four north-westerly. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:15 | |
0:27:15 | 0:27:15 | ||
Over in the East, similar conditions. And good visibility. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:20 | |
Into the evening, it stays dry and Cam, but it will be a cold night, | 0:27:20 | 0:27:26 | |
down to freezing for many places. If you're out and about on Saturday | 0:27:26 | 0:27:31 | |
for Bonfire Night, it should be cool and clear, but you might want | 0:27:31 | 0:27:37 | |
to wrap up, as it will be a bit chilly. On Sunday, again, dry and | 0:27:37 | 0:27:44 | |
bright conditions. Temperatures similar to Saturday, eleven or 12 | 0:27:44 | 0:27:49 | |
degrees Celsius. Into next week, there is a low pressure in the | 0:27:49 | 0:27:59 | |
0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | ||
Just before seven o'clock, a summary of tonight's top stories... | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
President Obama has told the G20 Summit in France that he has | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
confidence in the Eurozone's ability to solve its debt crisis. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
David Cameron is confirmed that he is willing to commit more British | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |

the Greek government has reversed its decison to hold a referendum on | 0:28:15 | 0:28:20 | |
an EU rescue package. Most of Scotland's schools could be | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
closed by the first strike by teachers in almost a quarter of a | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
century. Members of the largest teaching union the EIS have voted | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 |
