Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight: | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
�60 billion to spend on roads, rail, schools and hospitals, but Labour | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
:00:25. | :00:28. | ||
claims the SNP announcement is a wishlist. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Also tonight: The country prepares for more bad weather with a warning | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
of snow, ice and high winds. And why some Lothian primary school | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
children have been appearing in The Scottish Government has | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
outlined �60 billion of spending to improve roads, rail, schools and | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
hospitals over the next two decades. They are describing it as a mega | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
plan, aimed at making Scotland a competitive and modern nation for | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
the 21st century. But Labour dismissed it as a wishlist, and a | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
:01:14. | :01:16. | ||
bit like a letter to Santa. Checking up to see where some of | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
his money is going, the Cabinet Secretary for infrastructure paid a | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
visit to a new library being built. The mega plan amounts to �60 | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
:01:37. | :01:39. | ||
billion for 80 project. This similar upgrade for the motorway to | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
Inverness. There is an ambitious plan for Scotland to join up with a | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
high-speed rail link to Scotland. Other proposals include investments | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
in broadband, health care, education, and housing. What this | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
plan is about is boosting economic growth in Scotland to try to get us | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
into a position in a competitive economy in the 21st century, and to | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
get jobs, jobs, jobs. The Scottish government says some projects will | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
be finished in the next few years. Some of the money will be borrowed. | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
This set out four separate funding schemes. The SNP have had issues | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
with the bill. This say it could be improved, but to get those new | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
borrowing powers, they may have to go with a bill. Whenever the money | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
is coming from, investment has been welcomed by the business community. | :02:36. | :02:45. | |
We now at -- we now have a timetable. That is significantly | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
important. Although time mimes a lengthy, at least we now have a | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
commitment to these roads being done. -- although time lines. | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
Labour have picked up on this aspiration. It is not a serious | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
plan, it is simply a wish-list. This is nothing more than a letter | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
to Santa. That it doesn't amount to much. The Scottish government | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
insists they will deliver across a variety of projects. Ministers say | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
there is no need for concern, claiming it will be done | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
responsibly. Police in West Lothian are | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
appealing for witnesses after reports that heavy objects were | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
dropped from bridges onto cars. Two incidents have been reported in | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
recent days. Detectives say it's lucky no one was injured or worse. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Our reporter, Gavin Walker, is at the scene of one of the attacks, | :03:40. | :03:50. | |
:03:50. | :03:51. | ||
and joins us now. So Gavin, what more do we know? We know that this | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
happened in the place as you say it. People are concerned, because no | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
one was injured, and they are concerned people might be a. On | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
Saturday night, just before 8pm, people -- police say an object was | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
dropped on a car. Thankfully, the driver was not injured. Then last | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
night, one another bridge, another object was dropped on to a van. | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
This object went through the windscreen, and once again, it is | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
lucky the object didn't cause more damage. That would call the police | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
and motorists concerned. But when it happens over Scotland's busiest | :04:35. | :04:44. | |
roads, they say it is lucky that no one was more seriously injured. -- | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
cause the police. They are asking anyone with information to get in | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
touch, either road users, or people from the area, who might know | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
something. They say this was a lucky escape. But next time, the | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
driver all drivers may not be so lucky. -- all drivers. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
The defence case in the trial of a woman accused of murdering her son | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
has opened. Kimberley Hainey denies murdering and neglecting her baby | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
son, Declan. The court heard from consultant pathologist, Dr Charles | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Mangham. He said that X-rays appeared to show Declan was | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
completely normal. The court had previously heard that marks on his | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
bones could be signs of malnourishment. Declan's decomposed | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
body was found in his cot in March last year. Experts have said he had | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
been dead for some time. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on the programme: | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
The �25,000 Turner Prize is awarded to a Scottish sculptor whose work | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
includes a leaning litter bin. In sport: The Celtic captain, Scott | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
Brown, tells us why he has signed a new deal with the club. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
A Scotland international tells us why he has come home to play his | :05:55. | :06:05. | |
:06:05. | :06:06. | ||
rugby. All that and Rhona Mcleod. Welcome to Colorado's brings. This | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
is the Olympic training centre, where a couple of the Scots are | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
training for London, 2012. The country is bracing itself for | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
more wintry weather tonight with warnings of snow, ice and high | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
winds. This morning's rush hour brought lengthy delays for some | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
commuters in the central belt, and as our correspondent Jamie McIvor | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
reports, motorists are being advised to take extra care and | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
:06:35. | :06:37. | ||
prepare their cars. The past two days have bought so | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
their weather across Scotland. A challenge for those responsible are | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
keeping our road opens. This morning, -- and there may have seen | :06:48. | :06:58. | |
:06:58. | :06:58. | ||
icy conditions, but most roads remained open. This massive dome | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
can hold up to 5,000 tonnes of salt. There is no suggestion any of the | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
important roads have not been treated. The delays were down to | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
breakdowns and accidents. Glasgow City Council says everything was | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
done to keep the Express was safe. The expressway is one of the most | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
important roads into the city, and therefore, we have a presence there. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
It was created three times yesterday. Driving conditions were | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
even worse in other parts of the country. In Shetland, a buzz went | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
off the road. Public agencies are responsible for keeping the roads | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
open. And the better prepared drivers are, the less chance of a | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
accident. The first thing we need to look at is the conditions of the | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
:08:05. | :08:05. | ||
lights. Check your washer fluid. And obviously, check the condition | :08:05. | :08:15. | |
:08:15. | :08:16. | ||
and pressure of the tyres. Tonight, there are few signs of traffic | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
problems, and the busiest roads are fine. But there is warning of more | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
snow and ice to come. Tomorrow morning could be treacherous. | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
Well, our reporter, Colin Wight, is at a gritting depot in Inverurie | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
:08:38. | :08:39. | ||
tonight. What's the forecast like, Colin? Not too great. Some of the | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
British here have already been out on the roads, preparing them for | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
conditions tomorrow morning. What is causing anxiety is a rain is | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
spreading across Scotland from west to east, and in eastern areas, that | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
is expected to bring two inches of snow in higher ground. In some | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
areas, that is expected possibly to Ally higher. The danger of further | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
south, is our eyes. The band of rain is expected to wash away some | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
of the treatment, and with clear skies following an overnight, that | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
could result in slippery conditions tomorrow morning. This sort has | :09:26. | :09:36. | |
:09:36. | :09:38. | ||
been laid on the roads. -- that sort. Winter has arrived. | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
Some of the other stories across Scotland this Tuesday: | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
A fatal accident inquiry into the deaths of two teenage girls who | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
jumped to their deaths from the Erskine Bridge has heard there were | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
only half the recommended number of staff on duty at their care home | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
when they absconded. 14-year-old Georgia Rowe and 15-year-old Neve | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
Lafferty plunged from the bridge in an apparent suicide pact in October | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
2009. An Aberdeen teacher, who was | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
accused of failing to keep order in her class, has been struck off for | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
incompetence. Suzanne Harwood taught English at Hazelhead Academy. | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
The General Teaching Council of Scotland was told she was | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
disorganised. Pupils said they were confused by her instructions, and | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
frustrated it could be months before their work was marked. And | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
there was a high noise level in her class. | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
The editor of the Daily Record newspaper is to step down from his | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
post. Bruce Waddell has been in charge of the paper for eight years. | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
The paper's owner, Trinity Mirror, has also announced details of a | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
major restructuring in Scotland. In the summer around 70 jobs were lost | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
at the Record. A motorist, who blamed her low- | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
calorie diet for a crash in which a learner driver died, has admitted | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
careless driving. 55-year-old teaching assistant, Patricia Aitken, | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
changed her plea to guilty at Jedburgh Sheriff Court after the | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
Crown produced an expert report which dismissed the suggestion that | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
the diet could have caused her to faint at the wheel. Cameron Buttle | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
was in court. Today, more than two years after | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
:11:25. | :11:25. | ||
the crash, at Patricia Aitken admitted driving carelessly. | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
Suzanne was half an hour into her lesson, when she was hit head-on. | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
She and her driving instructor were trapped. It was just after 6pm when | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
the accident happened, in August, 2009. According to police | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
commission investigators, conditions were clear, dry and | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
bright. Further investigations revealed both cars were travelling | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
within the speed limit at the time of the accident. There was no | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
evidence that anyone had taken alcohol or drugs. Mobile phone | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
records were checked - no one was using the phone. Patricia Aitken | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
had claimed her low-calorie diet had caused her to blackout. But she | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
changed her plea to guilty after a report from the prosecution | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
dismissed the suggestion that the diet could have caused loss of | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
consciousness or fainting. The court heard that Patricia Aitken | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
has not driven since the accident. The charabanc Turk the driving | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
until she appears again for sentencing in January. | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
There has been a mini reshuffle of the Scottish Government to make way | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
for a new Youth Employment Minister. The job has gone to Angela | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
Constance who will now attend Cabinet. Her role as Minister for | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
Children and Young People is taken over by Aileen Campbell. She, in | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
turn, is replaced by the former leader of Renfrewshire council, | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
Derek Mackay, who joins the Government as Minister for Local | :12:51. | :13:01. | |
Government and Planning. Alex Salmond insist he is raising | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
this issue of China's human rights record with political leaders. | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
Amnesty International says China sued -- suppresses free speech, and | :13:12. | :13:20. | |
has called on Western countries to do more. | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
Panda sharing it is the cuddly side of Chinese communism. Party leaders | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
are no these bears are their best ambassadors. When Alex Salmond | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
thanked China's vice-premier for the pandas, he said he hoped they | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
would bring Scotland sunshine. They have certainly brought with them | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
fresh questions about Diana's commitment to human rights. It is | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
22 years since the world watched with horror as China turned its | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
tanks and soldiers against its own people. China has changed since | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
then, but human rights group says it has not changed enough. It says | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
it executes more people than the rest of the world put together. | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
cute as the pandas are, we don't believe they should be as a | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
distraction from the issues in China. We have got the Nobel Prize | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
peace when it locked up in jail. These are serious issues. In a | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
speech to communist officials, the First Minister Chuck -- touched on | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
Human Rights, and says he does so by discussing the philosophy of the | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
Economist, Adam Smith. His ideas, they went hand in hand. That is a | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
great debate to have in China. It is very useful. It is also | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
important to do it in a way that is thoughtful and considerate. Alex | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Salmond said he consulted the Scottish Human Rights Commission to | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
strengthen train and cultural ties with the world's second largest | :15:10. | :15:20. | |

Glasgow School of Art has won the Turner Prize. The winner for the | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
2011 Turner Prize... Is it is the most prestigious prize in art, but | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
at least one protester has made his point, the Turner Prize awarded to | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
a Scot. Today he was getting used to the publicity, the �25,000 in | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
cash. Two. He said it was a chance to remind everybody of art | :16:04. | :16:11. | |
indication. I just knew I wanted to go to Glasgow School of Art. I used | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
to walk around the building. I'd just had a sense something would | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
happen. People would be waiting. The this is the first time the | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
Turner Prize has been staged a sign the Tay Gallery's, thousands of | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
people have visited the show. Now that Martin Boyce is the third Scot | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
to win in as many years, the argument is that it should be | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
staged in Scotland. Glasgow School of Art which has produced 30 per | :16:41. | :16:49. | |
cent of applicants and the last six years is in no doubt. Absolutely, I | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
would hope it would come home almost, so many Scottish artists. | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
Totally disproportionate to the Scottish population. As for Martin | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
Boyce, he has had his moment in the spotlight, but now he wants to | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
return to his studio in Glasgow to create more work. Time for some | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
sport now, from David Currie. Scott Brown says there was never | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
any chance of him leaving Celtic - in fact he likes it so much he | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
wants to end his career there. The Parkhead captain has been speaking | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
about the deal he signed with the club that'll make him a Celtic | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
player till twenty fifteen. It follows lengthy negotiations | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
between his agent and Celtic's chief executive Peter Lawwell. | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
Here's our Senior Football Reporter Chris McLaughlin. | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
Flogging the festive fixtures, he turned to crackers today to | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
highlights three game. Do you see yourself signing a contract be on | :17:49. | :17:58. | |
this, to end your career here? think so. I would be glad to say, a | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
great club. A good place to play football in front of 60,000 fans. | :18:05. | :18:14. | |
Wilson. But stable back, to Scott Brown! Was he tempted by talk of a | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
big-money move to England? No, it is a great leak, but if you want to | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
win trophies they you need to go to one of the top teams. I am here and | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
we have a great chance of winning trophies this season. He has signed, | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
and now the talking stops. Now he just has to lead his team to the | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
title. The Rangers winger Sone Aluko will | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
appeal a two match ban for what the Scottish FA calls "simulation". | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
That's diving in common parlance and this is the incident in | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
question. He won a penalty against Dunfermline at the weekend but an | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
SFA compliance officer reckons he dived. Meanwhile the Dunfermline | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
boss Jim Mcintyre faces a touchline ban for questioning the competence | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
of the referee. Glasgow Warrior's new acquisition | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Rory Lamont says he had to come back to Scotland to save his | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
international career. The 29 year old had been playing his rugby in | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
France with Toulon, but he hadn't been getting a game. Now that lead | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
to some heavy hints from the Scotland coach Andy Robinson that | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
his place in the national set up could be at risk. So Lamont decided | :19:19. | :19:29. | |
:19:29. | :19:30. | ||
he had to act. I made the movement and asked the coach is to release | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
me. In the hope that I could find another club and get some game time | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
before the Six Nations. To put my hand up for selection. After it was | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
announced that I was being released, Glasgow came in and gave me the | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
option. With about eight months till the | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
London Olympics Scots athletes are trying to make sure they have the | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
best possible chance of being selected for Team GB. For two | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
Aberdeen based shooters, Jen McIntosh and Neil Stirton, that's | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
meant saving up, leaving home and heading to America. Rhona McLeod | :19:57. | :20:07. | |
:20:07. | :20:08. | ||
caught up with them in Colorado. Welcome to Colorado Springs, this | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
is the US Olympic training centre. Home to a sporting superpower. But | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
it is not just American Olympians here preparing for London 2012. Two | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
of Scotland's gold medallists from the deli World Games, have also | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
taken up residence here in Colorado Springs. A Neil and I just fell in | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
love with the place. We loved the atmosphere and everything about it. | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
It is the entire environment here. You are surrounded by past and | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
present Olympians from a multitude of sports, you breathe and eight | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
Olympics. You just have to look around, the Olympic rings are | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
everywhere. The whole ethos and ambience around this place is | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
fantastic. I have already seen a big improvement, two points on my | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
personal best in four weeks. much will be 2 1/2 months cost you? | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
Towards �6,000. You have taken a bit of a gamble, out here for two | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
and a half months which is costing the financially. Yes, it was one of | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
those decisions, where I did not want to get towards London and not | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
having given my all. This is the best decision I have made, to come | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
out here. I am really looking forward to next year. | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
And you can see Rhona's report in full with Neil and Jen in tonight's | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
Sport Nation programme, over on BBC2 Scotland at 10 o'clock. | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
And that's the sport for tonight David. | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
Primary school children in and around Edinburgh have been in court | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
today, taking part in a 'mock trial'. The students have become | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
lawyers, witnesses, even journalists for the day as they put | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
their case to a real life Sheriff. And for the first time in 90 years | :22:12. | :22:22. | |
:22:22. | :22:26. | ||
Leith Court has been opened up for the occasion. Lisa Summers reports. | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
My name is Rupert, and I am 36. Plenty of opportunities for | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
children in school to act out roles, but at King's Park Primary, today's | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
rehearsals are about putting theory into practice. This court has not | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
sat since 1920, but it has remained the same ever since. Tonight, for | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
the first time in over 90 years, it will be brought back to life when a | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
real show of presides over a case. 11 years old children from King's | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
Park Primary are about to go head- to-head in front of the Sheriff. | :23:06. | :23:14. | |
The whole truth and nothing but the truth. They are taking on the roles | :23:14. | :23:23. | |
of lawyers, witnesses, artists and even journalists. The case is about | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
a mobile phone bill. It is designed to help the children is the | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
everyday skills they have learnt in the school in a professional | :23:33. | :23:43. | |
:23:43. | :23:45. | ||
environment. I have awarded King's Park 21 points, and Heriots 24 | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
points. While Heriots might-have- been the winners on this occasion, | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
everybody learned something. I did not know who was going to win. | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
was worried about lots of cross- examination questions. They handle | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
it very well indeed and it gave them some idea of what it would be | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
like. The fact so many were involved, the rope making and the | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
statements, I liked that. The winners go on to the final next | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
:24:28. | :24:31. | ||
From the met Office we have an ample warning in force, some | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
treacherous driving conditions overnight tonight. Thanks to the | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
cold air and the band of rain moving across: from west to east | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
turning into snow, affecting some of the higher rates and pushing | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
towards the north-east as well. Take a look at the Ice risk, | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
primarily, towards Fife, Lothians and the Borders as well as the | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
central belt. Some of the showers will move through and behind them | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
the clear skies turn rain to ice on the roads. Treacherous driving | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
conditions. A yellow warning on the roads, a warning for snow on all | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
levels, potentially up to five centimetres in Aberdeen Shea. | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
Across to the other side of the country, strong to gale force winds. | :25:17. | :25:27. | |
For her it will be a cold night, we have the showers, just above | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
freezing. Clearer skies lower than that. Potentially some snow across | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
the higher parts of the M4 and M8. Tomorrow starts windy, across the | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
south-west, showers continuing. Wintry through the north and north- | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
east but generally an improving day and by the time we reach mid- | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
afternoon lots of dry and sunny weather around. Across the south- | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
west we hold on to the showers, quite blustery. One or two wintry | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
showers continuing across the north-east towards the north-east | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
corner and Orkney and Shetland to. Just two Celsius for Shetland. In | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
the second part of the afternoon and evening the showers will | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
continue. Elsewhere it will be drier, clearer and pretty cold. All | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
change as we go through the week ended to Thursday, thanks to this | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
low-pressure. Notice the trailing weather front bringing heavy rain | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
at the packed isobars Roy Strong to gale force winds. We could see cuts | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
of up to 80 mph. Some heavy rain, but temperatures just creeping up a | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
little, it does not last though, Friday sees the low-pressure moving | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
away. Isobars pulling down much colder air, a real Arctic blast to | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
finish of the week. Tonight is the focus on the ice and snow in the | :26:53. | :27:02. | |
north-east. The Scottish government has outline �60 billion of spending | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
to improve roads, rail, hospitals and schools, but Labour has | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
and schools, but Labour has dismissed it as a wish-list. A | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
suicide bomber has killed at least 58 people at a shrine in the Afghan | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
capital, carpel. Blast took place in the most holy day of the | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
festival. They pressed and said the country had never experienced a | :27:27. | :27:32. |
