Good evening. Investigations continue into the gas leak which

forced the evacuation of the entire workforce from this North Sea oil

platform. The new research helping to explain

why this woman nearly died of swine flu while some people did not know

they were infected. Almost at breaking point, we hear

from a Scotland's army of carers not getting their help they are

entitled to. It is a fine line to - - for between sanity and insanity.

What about this weather? Another record high for March.

Investigations continue into a gas leak at a North Sea oil platform

150 miles off the coast of Aberdeen. The company Total has removed all

238 workers from the elegant platform. A highly unusual

situation overnight when everyone was taken off a major royal right.

Such was the seriousness. Tonight, 24 hours after the gas leak, the

gas is still leaking. Machine seen around the plat form it is thought

not to be loyal. The Elgin plat form has abandoned tonight. All 238

workers are all fit. Most are back in Aberdeen. What we said was that

they were watching the match yesterday. Announcement went out

and this was not a trail. They went off. Since then, we have heard

everyone has been taken off. This is unheard of. Total admits it

could be some time before a solution is found. The gas leak is

ongoing. It is not safe to approach at this moment. We are looking at

her options. It can bidets? It can be weeks. And emergency response

team has been set up. The Department of Energy and climate

Chang -- change says it is monitoring the response. Do we know

or how Total plan to stop the week? There are the reassure options. --

and various options. The rest of the ignition has been reduced. It

is being monitored by a standby vessel. It is similar to what

happened to stop the Week and the Gulf of Mexico recently. -- League.

Scientists in Edinburgh have identified a human gene which helps

explain why this swine flu virus made a small number of people ill

but let others unaffected. And 2009, this woman thought she

had a cold. She ended up in intensive care. I don't remember

being in intensive care. It was as their I woke up and it was a month

later. I could not walk or speak. His took months but Louise has now

made a full recovery. The specialist treating her was a

professor Tim Walsh. Her lungs got inflamed. We had no idea why some

people react in this week. Some people got no symptoms. Professor

Walsh and his colleagues asked relatives if they could have blood

cent -- samples. It led to a remarkable conclusion. You think of

a virus as something that either affects your doesn't. The chances

of getting an infectious disease are more strongly passed through

families. A high number of these young, very ill people had an

unusual gene. Been is a gene which is present in various forms in more

of the people who were very ill with sect loo. -- swine flu.

make them more infectious could be identified and treated before they

get so dangerously ill. Still to come, it is best in a

warehouse and called the Street, the latest move for to fight and

drink, drugs and violent crime. Why do people like to dance?

In sport, Paul Murray tells us his Blue Knights consortium does not

need tickets to sell tickets. After about getting into the swing

of things, Paul Lawrie is being rewarded.

Up it has been another record- breaking deal on the weather front

as Scotland continues to swelter in an unseasonal heatwave.

The north-east was the hottest part of the country, this time in a

Gawain. -- Aboyne. This time two years the courts, we

were all shivering in blizzards. Now, we are heading for the beach.

Today's high of 23 degrees as an all-time record for March. It has

been amazing. The plant life as well as the human activity must be

Scotland's Garden centres. Primroses are a few weeks earlier

than normal. You notice that the insects, butterflies, they had been

spotted on Christmas Day. In the garden centres, there are lots more

insects. What of the forecast? Can it last or will it be back to

wintry weather soon? It looks like it will last for a few days. We

flowers are blooming and business is booming. If you have bedding out

destroyed a house unless my he off. Danny Martin and Sheila MacDonald

escaped with minor injuries. The Government is in advanced talks to

sell a stake in the Royal Bank of Scotland to the government in Abu

Dhabi. It is owned by the taxpayer. BBC Scotland has found people who

act as carers for a family member are not always receiving the help

they are entitled to such as respite care. Many do receive a

small carer's allowance. Some are near breaking point.

When he was a boy, his family had no idea Asperger's would affect him

in later life. Because of his condition, he struggles to

understand how his actions affect others. His mum as his official

caterer. He is 22 but spends all his time with her. She says she

feels trapped and it is affecting her mental health. I am struggling.

There is a fine line between sanity and insanity. I am struggling to

keep on this side of it. Figures from Shared Care Scotland suggests

61 % of people who care for runt son or daughter feel their sanity

is hampered. I recognise carers do not get the level of support

required, we have picked plans in place that will help. There is more

to do. We are committed to making sure that happens. This man's state

of mind depends on his mother's happiness. The council is offering

her own for an assessment. He does not intentionally make my life like

this. He is suffering. He has gone missing. No one plans to become a

carer. More and more of us are doing it. If they do not get the

support to carry on, the carers may need cared-for to.

A look at what else has been happening in the country.

Aberdeen was the only major British city to course through the worst

year of the downturn. The oil and gas sector helped economic growth.

Edinburgh and Glasgow join them in the top five.

NHS Ayrshire and Arran is looking for mystery visitors. They are

asking for or people to pause as patient's family and friends.

80 lorries and vans turned out in Stornoway to protest at the rise

and ferry fares. The Scottish Government has promised a study on

the impact of the fear increases. We believe it would have been

better to do this study before the implementation. It is ridiculous to

carry out an impact study after it. Glascote's caging some way is to

get �246 million from the Scottish Government for its revamp.

New roadworks and diversions are under way in Edinburgh as part of

the city's tram works. Major disruption is expected around he

market. There was a lucky escape at this garage. Seven cars were

written off and six damaged after a trailer ploughed into the forecourt.

The Scottish band Wet Wet Wet are to reform for a one-off show to

mark their 25th anniversary. They will appear at Glasgow Green on

Knife crime, drink, drugs and domestic violence have blighted the

lives of young Scots for decades. Many attempts have been made to

solve them. But the latest, called the Street, and based in a disused

warehouse, has been hailed as "fantastic" by Scotland's justice

secretary. Sally McNair's report begins with a reconstruction of a

violent attack. It is cold, late, dark. Suddenly a walk-through

tunnel turns into a violent situation. Just leave it! Get off

him! How you react can be life changing. Help me! Please! It might

have been acting but it is close to home for this group of young people

from South Lanarkshire as they head into a workshop to discuss what

they would have done. It had an impact. It is a shock to know it

can happen to you even walking home. I would hope to change those

choices if it happened to me. Street is unique, bringing together

young people who have been involved in antisocial behaviour or crime,

or are thought to have been at risk. We had to cover something to

challenge these behaviours and hopefully modify some behaviours of

young people and they can see the consequences of their actions.

Cyber-bullying, domestic violence, each scene written by the

youngsters who were there for real. It is realistic because I have seen

stuff like that before on the streets. It is good to show people

the consequences of their actions. If it stops one person going out

there hitting their girlfriend, going out with a knife, makes

people realise what cyber-bullying is, if it stops that it is worth it.

In the early two years the project has been such a success that

several local authorities are queuing up to give young people

from their areas and a walk on the Street. The no-nonsense approach

has already been seen by more than 1300 young people. Next winter the

programme will be adapted for a younger audience to try to reach

young people before they make a Tributes have been paid to the

darts legend Jocky Wilson who died this weekend at the age of 62.

Jocky was raised in an orphanage and worked as a miner in Fife

before discovering his talent for playing darts. He went on to win

two world titles and a legion of fans during the 1980s. Andrew

Anderson looks back on his life. One Dart could give him the

championship. Yes! A not perhaps the most obvious sporting superstar

but after taking the World Darts Champion title in 1982, that is

what Jocky Wilson was. The smiling Jocky Wilson... He would lift this

Cup twice in the 1980s. Throughout that decade the former miner from

Kirkaldy was a celebrity. Here he is recalling how he took up the

sport. I just came out of the Army and was in a local pub in my home

town. They were short of players one night and asked me to play. I

got beat but to go from there. is him after winning the World

credit him from taking it -- for taking it from a pub game to a

sport that drew a huge television audiences. When he was on

television people want to watch, simple as that. Everybody liked

seeing him play. After his glory years Jocky Wilson withdrew from

public life. But moments like these Sport now... Paul Murray has told

BBC Scotland he'll walk away from Ticketus if he can't strike a deal

that's in the interests of Rangers. Murray's Blue Knights consortium

has been allied to the company that funded Craig Whyte's takeover.

Rangers' administrators are now contemplating reneging on the

Ticketus deal and Murray says he may have to consider other options.

Ibrox at its Sunday best. This was surely the best advert for

potential buyers? For a couple of hours Rangers shrug off their

troubles and brought a smile but the faces of fans who have had

plenty to worry about in recent weeks. -- smile back. As has the

manager. If there was any potential buyers watching today, it would be

difficult to argue anything other than they would be impressed with

what they saw in terms of the team, the game, the stadium, the support,

the club in general. So why would be hopeful today would be a

positive step if someone came forward -- I would. We have the

potential buyers, Paul Murray, was not here yesterday but would love

to be the man to take the club board. His consortium that includes

tickets, the company whose money funded Craig White's takeover here.

But the administrators are considering reneging on that deal,

making the ticket as creditors, and while Murray believes it is better

to have them onside, he will not do that at any cost. Murray told us

A decision on whether the alliance stays in place will be taken in the

Celtic will appeal against the red card against Cha Du-Ri yesterday.

Meanwhile, Neil Lennon has been asked to appear in front of the

SFA's judicial panel to explain his actions and comments during

yesterday's Old Firm match at Ibrox. The Celtic manager was sent from

the technical area at half time following a confrontation with

referee Callum Murray in the Ibrox tunnel. Lennon says he is adamant

that he did nothing wrong. I have to be careful what I said. But one

answers and by not getting them. As manager I think I deserve them. I

spoke to delegate after and their version of events are different to

mine. I have witnesses. It's been almost a decade since Paul Lawrie

qualified for an American Major, but he'll be among the field at

next month's US Masters. Despite not playing for the last couple of

weeks, the Scot has kept his place in the world top 50 which means

qualification for Augusta. The 1999 Open Champion has been in good form

this year, he was runner-up in the Dubai World Championship and last

month he won the Qatar Masters. I think he leaves on Thursday. Best

of luck for that. Dancing is at the heart of many

communities in Scotland, whether that's the nostalgia of the dance

hall, the social life of the seventies disco or weekly lessons

in country dancing. The National Theatre of Scotland has been

working with people in Folkert to find out why they dance. Whether we

join in, or sit on sidelines, dancing has always been at the

centre of Scottish communities. From dance halls like this one to

village halls and discos. This is a city nightclub where over the years

thousands of people have found friends, flaunt it fashions and had

fun. Now it is the stage for a brand new show about why people

like to dance. The National Theatre of Scotland spent several months

speaking to hundreds of people locally as well as persuading 70 of

them to step on up and dance themselves. We were working with

mothers and toddlers groups at the start when we were researching

right up to people in their eighties. The cast ranges from the

age of nine to 73. Somebody represents every day kids in

between. Neil and Pamela have been dancing together for decades. They

say ball dance has a common factor. When I was a teenager that was a

social outlet. You did not have television and all these things,

your social outlet was dancing. We all went dancing. That is where you

met girls. It is good for your grey matter, too, because you have to

consider what you were doing, whose hand you are supposed to be holding,

which side of the said he will be on, if you make a mistake you spoil

it for everybody in the set. -- which side of the set you will be

on. Even the non- dancers take part. The show's creators hope it will

And now the latest weather forecast... How long will it last?

Until the end of the week certainly. Maybe not as warm but keeping dry.

It has been another very warm day and another record-breaker. 22.9 in

Aberdeenshire. Elsewhere, records broken for these local places.

There are respectable. This area of high pressure firmly established

over Scotland, that is keeping the settled conditions. The warm air is

feeding in from the north of Africa which is keeping us with these

lovely high temperatures. A beautiful end to the day. We are

still seeing 22. It will stay dry overnight but the high-pressure

throws up some problems. There will be missed and low cloud which could

form through part of central Scotland. Temperatures could fall

the air for many but it will be short lived. The mist and fog will

burn off quickly and we are looking at another lovely, dry, sunny day.

Temperatures tomorrow will respond well. We are looking at 18, 19

Celsius for many parts. The north- east will see the highest

temperatures, potentially up to 22 Celsius. Western coastal areas are

always a bit cooler because the sea is at its coldest. Still pleasant
