Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news: | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Jailed for life, the serial offender with a history of violence | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
who murdered Lanarkshire student Reamonn Gormley in an unprovoked | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
attack. Scotland prepares to be battered again, a red alert from | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
the met office with a warning of 90 mile an hour winds for tomorrow. | :00:30. | :00:40. | |

And later in the programme: there's been another murder. Another one. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
The longest ever said of Taggart of all time. The Channel five | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
presenter Matthew Wright is forced to apologise after making these | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
comments about the murder of a teenager on the Western Isles. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
And delivering another little angel, the mother who's been in labour for | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
three weeks producing sixteen babies. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
The man who murdered the Glasgow University student Reamonn Gormley | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
in Blantyre last February has been sentenced to life in prison. Daryn | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Maxwell will have to serve at least 19 years before he can be | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
considered for parole. In a moving statement, Raemonn's family told | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
how they think of him first thing in the morning, last thing at night | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
and a hundred times in between. Our Home Affairs correspondent, Reevel | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:34. | ||
Alderson reports. Arriving to hear his sentence, Mr | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
Maxwell already has three sentences for violence, he must serve at | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
least 19 years. Barry Smith was armed with a chisel and although he | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
did not use it he admitted the couple, side. He has been jailed | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
for eight years and three months. Raymond's family issued a statement | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
saying they are still struggling to come to terms with his death. The | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
:02:10. | :02:18. | ||
statement continued. Two His death deeply affected the | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
community, with hundreds attending his funeral. The priest who | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
conducted the service said that has affected his family, whose | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
suffering from his death. family will never be the same again, | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
they will never forget. A good family, could community support. | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
They will not wake up from this nightmare. The devastation was felt | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
on the other side of the world, where he had taught in a primary | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
school. The head teacher remembers him as an inspirational figure | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
loved by the community. Even now, all this time later, not just the | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
school but the whole village. All of the young people in the school, | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
tears everywhere. He was stabbed in the neck by Maxwell at the end of | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
this lane. He staggered back to the pub where he had watched football | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
that evening, but as he lay dying from the fatal wound, he pleaded | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
with those around him, please don't let me die. Within a few days of | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
his murder a walk was commemorated to remember his life. 3000 people | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
took part. It has turned into the anti- knife group, Campaign for | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
change. His family have said there has been some sort of justice but | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
it has brought no comfort. Gales of up to ninety-miles-an-hour | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
are set to rip through central Scotland tomorrow. The Met Office | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
has taken the rare step of issuing a Red Warning. And ministers are | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
warning of serious disruption to road and rail services. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
There's a very high like a it of travel destruction, including | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
closes of Bridges, so we are advising people that we are putting | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
in place provisions. We can move debris away from transport | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
corridors, and we have chainsaws to make sure we can get any debris | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
away from Julie Peacock is at the Forth Bridges for us now. Julie, | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
what more can you tell us? expect this storm to break -- bring | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
big problems. Dangerous driving conditions, even the possibility of | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
power cuts in some areas. The storm is expected to hit between 3pm and | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
6pm tomorrow, and people are beginning to make their way home. | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Police are telling drivers that congestion on the road will be | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
extremely difficult. Expect some serious delays. Transport: are | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
saying you may as well forget about the bridge has like the one behind | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
me being open. As for the Rail, we are expecting delays, ScotRail are | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
telling people to check before they travel. How rare are discussed at | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
this time of year? We can expect a Red Warning tomorrow, and normally | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
once or twice a year, but in Shetland she may wonder what all of | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
the fuss is about. On the 1st December were gusts of 90 mph, but | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
this warning is about where it hits, the central belt where there is a | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
large population, big buildings and where the possibility for damages | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
far greater. The government are taking this very seriously, holding | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
a cabinet meeting tonight to see how this will impact on other | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
services like schools. Some councils, like Stirling, have | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
decided to close all of their schools and lunchtime tomorrow. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |

The family of a teenager murdered on Lewis have condemned the Channel | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
5 presenter Matthew Wright for comments made on his show about | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
their son's death. Liam Aitcheson's body was discovered in a derelict | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
building on the outskirts of Stornoway last week. It was the | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
first murder there since 1968. Raymond Buchanan reports. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Police are still trying to find out who killed Liam. The 16 year-old | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
body was discovered over a week ago in this derelict building. Murders | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
are rare in the Western Isles, so rare they make headlines across the | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
UK. On Channel 5 yesterday, the death featured in a paper review on | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
Matthew Wright's programme. first murder in the Hebrides, on | :07:14. | :07:24. | |
the Isle of Lewis. The first one for 40 years. The longest episode | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
of Taggart of all time. His family reacted to the broadcast with a | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
statement to police. We are very disappointed with the offensive | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
nature of the programme, this is very upsetting and insulting. Not | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
just for the family but the whole community of the Western Isles. | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
This morning Matthew Wright apologised. Some of you have been | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
upset about the Commons yesterday in the paper review. I would like | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
:08:06. | :08:06. | ||
to apologise if that is the case. I did not want to belittle anybody. | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
Just a few minutes later on a chat about controversial celebrities, he | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
suggested he was being crucified by complainers. People are trying to | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
now me to the cross to shut me up. I would like him to see -- I would | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
like to see him off the air. He has gone way too far, not good enough. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
He apologised sort of, but in a very grudging manner. Disgusted by | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
his behaviour. A off, still decide if the broadcasting code has been | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
broken. -- off,. You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
Still to come on the programme. The number of teachers working in | :08:51. | :08:54. | |

change sweeping through Scottish football, stay tuned for the | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
A mother accused of murdering her baby son and then pretending he was | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
alive for months, has told a court how the boy's birth had "saved her | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
life". Kimberley Hainey was giving evidence in her own defence at the | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
High Court in Glasgow. She denied that she left Declan alone | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
overnight; claiming she only left him for short periods of time. | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
Catriona Renton reports. She was composed, well-spoken and | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
articulate when she went into the witness box to give evidence on her | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
own behalf this afternoon. She moved here it, with her five-month- | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
old son Declan in September 2008, she admitted to the court that she | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
had previously had problems with drink and drugs and was on the | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
methadone programme, but she said having Declan saved her life. She | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
said "I was happy, he was happy." she said everything revolved around | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
her child, she just wanted to get her and Declan settled, to come off | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
the methadone programme and get a job. To get Declan into nursery, | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
and have a happy family life. Evidence has already been heard | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
that because of her drug problems she was given intensive support at | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
the family matters project, which at the time was based here in | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
Paisley. But she said she did not feel she needed their help and she | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
wanted to put that chapter of her life away. It was easier to us to | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
:10:48. | :11:06. | ||
She claimed it was only for short periods or when she would nip | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
across the road or have a baby monitor with her. She denies all of | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
the charges against her and will continue to give evidence tomorrow. | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
The number of teachers working in Scotland's schools has fallen to | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
its lowest point since 2007. And the vast majority of school | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
children are now being taught in buildings rated good or | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
satisfactory. Just two of the findings among a raft of statistics | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
released today. Our education correspondent Seonag Mackinnon's | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
here to tell us what they tell us about how well our children are | :11:32. | :11:42. | |
:11:42. | :11:42. | ||
being taught. The Number of teachers is down 656 | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
on last year. And down 3659 since the SNP came to power in 2007. | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
That's partly due to falling numbers of pupils. And, the numbers | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
spending their first 3 years of primary school in class sizes of 18 | :11:54. | :12:04. | |
:12:04. | :12:06. | ||
or less is also down to just over 20%. The fact children do more time | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
on an individual basis of the teacher helps. It is important, for | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
the young the years. I would prefer a smaller classes, but I can | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
understand. Cutting class sizes in early primary, a goal for the | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Scottish government since it came to power. As of late it has been an | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
aspiration, but the figures today show it is very much that. Under | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
the circumstances it is very hard to do. But all parents and | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
educators except that small class sizes are important, but how we get | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
to that and how we keep making progress is an issue of our | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
financial times but we will keep pushing. A tough financial climate | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
also means new teachers are struggling to find secure, long- | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
term jobs. Far more difficult for new teachers to get permanent jobs. | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
Many more into temporary. That is very insecure, once that gets | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
Around, fewer people will want to enter teaching and there will be | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
problems getting good quality teachers and the future. This | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
teacher has recently qualified and is trying to find a permanent job. | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
He still has to live with his parents, because short-term walk | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
often comes out of the blue and is badly paid. Every morning I hope | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
for a phone call, if nothing, I will sit and wait and hope I get | :13:40. | :13:48. | |
work in the afternoon. A children's lives can be determined by how well | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
the education service performs. So, what about exam results? Well | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
the number passing 5 good Standard Grades is static at 78% The number | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
passing three highers is up slightly to 26 %. That's partly | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
down to a tough job market encouraging more to stay on at | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
school. The good news, 360 of those schools now have refurbished or | :14:10. | :14:20. | |

Scotland this Wednesday... Calls to build a stretch of the | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
controversial new Beauly to Denny powerline underground have been | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
rejected by the Scottish government. Energy Minister Fergus Ewing | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
instead passed plans to reduce the visual impact of the line of 50- | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
metre-high pylons in the Stirling area. | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
A claim that offshore workers are entitled to extra paid leave has | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
been rejected by the Supreme Court in London. The UK's highest court | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
has ruled against workers seeking paid leave on top of their two | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
weeks-on, two weeks-off shift pattern. Unions warn the decision | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
could lead to industrial action. Drink-driver Ross Parker killed a | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
charity worker after going down the wrong side of a motorway for a mile, | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
the High Court in Glasgow has heard. Parker ploughed into Margo | :15:04. | :15:07. | |

The vast size of China and the speed of its economic growth has | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
opened up huge opportunities for Scottish business - and not just in | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
whisky and salmon exports. With one billion consumers, it also | :15:31. | :15:41. | |
:15:41. | :15:44. | ||
represents a vast market for Scotland's renewable energy sector. | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
China is on the fast track to replacing America as the world's | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
largest economy. It could happen in two years. From the window of this | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
21st century train, you can see that high-speed expansion brings | :16:01. | :16:11. | |
with it a lot of it environmental cost. The economy is growing almost | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
as fast as this 200 miles per hour bullet train, but desperately needs | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
to find new and cleaner sources of energy to fuel its development. It | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
still has a number of wind farms, such as this one on the border with | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
:16:44. | :16:47. | ||
Mongolia. It is making advantage of Scottish technology. We have got a | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
lot of clients who used to work on offshore wind projects who have now | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
come back to work on land project. We have grown together in the | :17:00. | :17:10. | |
:17:10. | :17:11. | ||
industry with them. Today, the First Minister visited the first | :17:11. | :17:20. | |
solar Power and city. Just as China leads the world and solar Power, we | :17:20. | :17:30. | |
:17:30. | :17:31. | ||
lead the world in wind and wave power. I am going to announce a new | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
initiative in that. The scale of China's Energy Challenge is awesome. | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
It will take a lot of renewable power to replace the 3 billion | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
tonnes of coal that it uses each year. But that could be a mine of | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
opportunity for those at the cutting edge of new environmental | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
technology. Scotland's councils paid more than | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
�750,000 to school bus operators during last winter for services | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
which were cancelled because of the weather. Figures obtained by BBC | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
Scotland also show wide variations in the contracts local authorities | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
have in place for providing the service. Today, all councils are | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
:18:20. | :18:23. | ||
being called on to review their contracts. The are the mainstay of | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
rural education, but notoriously fragile. When bad weather strikes, | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
school bus runs are often closed down before the schools. In many | :18:35. | :18:43. | |
cases, the operators are still being paid. We have got payments to | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
make, such as to the drivers, to the insurance and one rates for a | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
or property. We simply cannot say that we cannot pay similar because | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
the weather was bad. Of the total paid, Aberdeen Show had the biggest | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
bill, at �317,000. Second was West Globe Inn, 114,000 and Perth and | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
:19:22. | :19:24. | ||
Kinross, just shy of �90,000. Added together, it tends to �767,000. | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
these times of tight public spending, there has to be a look | :19:31. | :19:40. | |
into this. In Aberdeenshire, the staff pays half for the first 10 | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
days of the Year that services are cancelled. It is a bit built in | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
resilience, so that the contractors no one advance what the situation | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
is and can budget for that. Today, at least one authority says it | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
plans to review future future agreements to get the best value | :20:07. | :20:16. | |
for money. Now, let us get the So Scotland failed to qualify for | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
the European Championships, crowds are dwindling and some of our top | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
clubs are in financial difficulties. But do not despair, the future is | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
much brighter, according to the man the Scottish FA asked to recommend | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
changes to the running of our national game. Six months since the | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
SFA accepted Henry McLeish's proposals, he says a wind of change | :20:30. | :20:39. | |
is now sweeping across our national game. The former First Minister has | :20:39. | :20:47. | |
been out of politics for a while, but he still has plenty on his mind. | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
There is the important stuff like the report future of Scottish | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
football. More progress has been made in the last six months than in | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
the last 60 years. Certainly, the wind of change is blowing through | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
the football authorities and, particularly, the Scottish Football | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
Association. On his recommendation, the have introduced a performance | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
director, the Dutchman who has said he will bring in total football at | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
all level. It has also modernised the committee system and the | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
disciplinary procedure. Some aspects have not been brought in | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
yet. Creating 1 body to run Scottish Football, by reducing the | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
top league from 12 teams down to 10 and introducing a pyramid system so | :21:49. | :21:57. | |
that smaller clubs can get involved in the senior set-up. I think he | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
knows in his heart of Hearts that if it happens within the four years | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
it will be good. He is asking for this in two years. Part of this is | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
because of the difficult financial situation, which would inevitably | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
:22:23. | :22:23. | ||
delay some aspects. See you in six months' time. | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
Celtic have taken the Algerian international defender Rafik | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Halliche on trial. The player has fallen out of favour at the English | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
club Fulham. The 25-year-old partnered former Rangers player | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
Madjid Bougherra in central defence for Algeria during the last World | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
Cup. Hearts have offered contract | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
extensions to at least four first- team players, even though they have | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
not paid them their full wages for November. | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
Meanwhile, a number of players are speaking to the players' union | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
about their non-payment, saying they will have difficulties in | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
meeting financial commitments if they do not get paid within the | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
next ten days. Scotland's women curlers are | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
through to the medal play-offs at the European Curling Championships | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
in Moscow, but the men's future is hanging in the balance. David | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Murdoch's rink ended the round- robin stage with a win over Sweden, | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
but defeat by France in this match earlier means they now have to wait | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
to see results elsewhere before they will know if they can progress | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
to the play-offs. Now to the story of the mother who | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
has been in labour for three weeks. So far, she has given birth to 16 | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
babies - and even more were due today. Gavin Walker went along to | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
see if Ann the Angel Shark, the first of her species to conceive | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
and give birth in captivity, could deliver four more of her endangered | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
:23:51. | :23:53. | ||
young ones. Mitterrand, the world record-breaking angel shark. She | :23:53. | :24:02. | |
gave birth to the first babies end captivity. There are four babies | :24:02. | :24:11. | |
remaining unborn. We are hoping to get the last pops out. They are | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
using the lure of putting a camera into the uterus and pulling it out, | :24:16. | :24:24. | |
hoping that the Sharks will fall. Thankfully, they did not have to | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
wait too long. It is such that unique opportunity to get a record | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
of how big the half when they're born. It is great information that | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
we can use for subsequent pregnancies. So far, the young ones | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
seem to be responding well to life on the outside. Meanwhile, she is | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
in line for a well-earned rest. Get that one in some tea and toast! | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Winter was a long time coming, but it seems we hav hit it with a | :25:09. | :25:19. | |
vengance. Here is Christopher with Yes, we start with the earth | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
weather warning from the Met Office that we have been hearing about. We | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
start tomorrow with some cool and clear conditions overnight. During | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
the night, at heavier rain operation and that is going to | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
bring with it some snow and ice, which will wish East word. Behind | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
it, slightly milder conditions, so will be falling here as heavy rain. | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
However, the focus of our attention has to be on the wind. It is due to | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
this rapidly decreasing area of low pressure pushing in from the | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
Atlantic. We can see the wind whipping around on the map. | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
Tomorrow, a way it was rush hour across most of the country. As we | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
go through the morning until lunchtime, the wind will reach its | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
height, from 3 o'clock on words. Nearly all the country will be | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
affected. There will be an amber warning for everywhere, except | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
Orkney and Shetland. But in the Central Belt, that warning will | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
become red, with gusts expected between 18 miles and 90 miles per | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
hour. What does that mean? It could mean power outages, structural | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
damage and the cancellation of transport services. As we got into | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
the evening, the low pressure will pull away and the wind will begin | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
to ease down for most of us. From the pet pressure Chard, that the it | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
will push towards Scandinavia and take the wind with that. We will | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
see an arctic plunge in temperatures towards the end of the | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
week. We will see heavy snow showers in the northern part of the | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
country and down the west coast. 10 be just three or four degrees and | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
it will feel bitterly cold with the wind in the north. I will be back | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
with the latest detail at 1030. Now, just before seven o'clock, a | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
summary of tonight's top stories... The man who murdered the Glasgow | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
University student Reamonn Gormley in Blantyre last February has been | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
sentenced to life in prison. Daryn Maxwell will have to serve at least | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
19 years before he can be considered for parole. | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
David Cameron has again promised to protect Britain's interests at this | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
week's crucial EU summit on the Eurozone debt crisis. He is coming | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
under increasing pressure from his own backbenchers, who urged him | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
during Prime Minister's Questions to oppose further integration. | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
Gales of up to 90 miles an hour are set to hit central Scotland | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
tomorrow. The Met Office has taken the rare step of issuing a Red | :28:05. | :28:07. |
