Good evening. There is a warning that around 20,000 Scots will go

:00:22.:00:26.

bust in the coming year as the economy falters and unemployment

:00:26.:00:31.

rises. The accountancy firm PKF warns that even affluence courts

:00:31.:00:36.

could find themselves unable to cope with tough economic conditions.

:00:36.:00:41.

It had been hoped that 2012 what would see financial worries ease,

:00:41.:00:45.

but things do not seem to be getting much better. This was the

:00:46.:00:50.

picture in the centre of Glasgow today. The shops are open but the

:00:50.:00:55.

streets are quiet. As we start the new year the figures make

:00:55.:00:59.

depressing reading. It is estimated every week in Scotland 400 people

:00:59.:01:04.

will become insolvent, that is around 21,000 people he will be

:01:04.:01:08.

personally bankrupt or who will have applied for a protected trust

:01:08.:01:13.

deed by the end of 2012. Their only needs to be a couple of hundred

:01:13.:01:19.

going bankrupt and that has slowly risen to 20,000. It is a huge

:01:19.:01:24.

percentage of the population. Pro rata it is a larger percentage than

:01:24.:01:29.

England. The Scottish Government says that where it is within its

:01:29.:01:34.

power to reduce household costs it has taken steps to do so. But it

:01:34.:01:39.

does not come as a shock to many. My sister in law makes hand-made

:01:39.:01:44.

bags and purses and sells them in a lot of shops in Great Western Road.

:01:44.:01:49.

A lot of those shops have gone out of business. My husband works in

:01:49.:01:54.

the arts, so it is on our minds and is something that has affected our

:01:54.:01:59.

family and other members of the family. I do not know a single

:01:59.:02:04.

person who has not had some effect because of the cuts. With the

:02:04.:02:09.

housing market unlikely to improve and many fearing for their jobs,

:02:09.:02:13.

today's news does not herald the happiest of new years for many

:02:13.:02:16.

Scots. A man has been remanded in custody

:02:16.:02:20.

charged with the murder of a 21 year-old who was found with gunshot

:02:20.:02:24.

wounds in Paisley. The body of Stephen Pollock was discovered in a

:02:24.:02:30.

house in Weaver terrors on 21st December. 49 year-old Shane McGrath

:02:30.:02:34.

was remanded at Paisley Sheriff Court accused of shooting and

:02:34.:02:38.

killing the young abattoir worker. After more than a year of

:02:38.:02:42.

uncertainty a buyer has been found for two Clyde built ships at the

:02:43.:02:49.

centre of an international row. The offshore patrol vessels were put in

:02:49.:02:54.

Scotstoun for Trinidad and Tobago. A third was built, but they cancel

:02:54.:02:58.

the order leaving the ships in port without a buyer.

:02:58.:03:03.

The Brazilian navy will buy them. Celtic and Rangers were both

:03:03.:03:07.

winners this afternoon. The Edinburgh derby saw a thrilling end

:03:07.:03:11.

to the game with Hibs losing out to Hearts.

:03:11.:03:15.

The new league leaders Celtic were at bottom team Dunfermline and it

:03:15.:03:22.

was Anthony Stokes who opened their account and the Irishman picked his

:03:22.:03:27.

spot, curling the ball from the edge of the box. Five minutes bid

:03:27.:03:35.

for it -- half time they added the second. In the second half it was

:03:35.:03:39.

Charlie Mulgrew who made it three with a free-kick that seemed to

:03:39.:03:44.

catch the Dunfermline keeper, Chris Smith, by surprise, much to the

:03:44.:03:49.

delight of the travelling support. 10 minutes before the end they

:03:49.:03:53.

brought on last season's player of the Year making his first

:03:53.:03:57.

appearance since breaking his ankle last of us. At Easter Road the

:03:57.:04:03.

Edinburgh derby was only decided in the last seven minutes of the game.

:04:03.:04:08.

Hearts went ahead just after half- time when Ryan MacGowan headed in.

:04:08.:04:17.

But Hibs equalised straight from the restart. It was Hearts who took

:04:17.:04:23.

the points when Andy Webster fired in after 83 minutes and then a

:04:23.:04:30.

third was added in stoppage time. It leaves Hibs manager Pat Fenland

:04:30.:04:38.

still waiting for his first win as boss. Rangers are two points behind

:04:39.:04:48.
:04:49.:04:57.

Time for the latest weather. It looks like we will see a stormy

:04:57.:05:03.

spell of weather affecting many of us denied and into tomorrow. The

:05:03.:05:09.

Met Office have issued an amber warning for wind. Wind speeds were

:05:09.:05:13.

reached severe storm force gusts, 80 miles an hour. We have got some

:05:13.:05:20.

pretty heavy snow as well. Central, eastern and southern areas will

:05:20.:05:26.

have clear spells and ate it in temperatures. As this rain moves

:05:26.:05:32.

into it, it will turn readily to snow. There will be a accumulations

:05:32.:05:37.

as the night wears on. Temperatures will rise in the south and the

:05:37.:05:41.

winds will pick up as well. Tomorrow morning it is not an ice

:05:41.:05:48.

commute into work for the first day back for many people. Gusts up to

:05:48.:05:55.

80, maybe 85 miles an hour from a westerly direction. They are coming

:05:55.:06:00.

through the central belt, the South and the West. That temperatures

:06:00.:06:05.

will start to fall. We will see some brightness in the afternoon,

:06:05.:06:10.

but in the north we encounter the remnants of the storm. Wins reach

:06:10.:06:15.

severe gale force across the North East as well. The storm will move

:06:15.:06:21.
