Welcome to Reporting Scotland. From sweltering to shivering. The wintry | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
weather returns bringing power cuts, mountain rescues and treacherous | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
:00:30. | :00:31. | ||
conditions on the roads. Tried to get back and forwards is just | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
impossible. It is no good for buses. No good whatsoever. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
We'll have a full roundup from round the country. Also tonight. A | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
witness in the trial of a man accused of murdering Glasgow | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
gangster Kevin Carroll denies luring him to his death in a | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
supermarket carpark. Clamping down on uninsured | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
motorists - police launch a crackdown. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
And dancing robots making their debut at the Edinburgh Science | :00:55. | :01:05. | |

The arrival of Arctic April brought 10 inches of snow to parts of the | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
country today, power cuts, difficult driving conditions and a | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
dramatic mountain rescue after nine hillwalkers, six of them teenagers, | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
became trapped overnight in the Cairngorms. This time last week we | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
were reaching for the sun oil, today it was snow shovels, as Colin | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
Wight reports. A week ago they were sunbathing | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
here in record temperatures. Today they were snowing -- throwing | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
snowballs. A drop in temperature of over 20 degrees on last week. | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
are really excited about it. I have a five-year-old boy who did not get | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
on his toboggan this year. Last week it was boiling hot. I got a | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
bit of sunshine on my face and now back to jackets. Abbot of a shot | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
and I did not expect it. I was choosing not to believe people. | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
Last week, I was in the garden cutting by grass. It is | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
unbelievable. A week ago, we were having lunch in the garden. This | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
week, we're thinking of building a snowman. In these mountains, six | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
youngsters and three adults were rescued by our Royal Navy | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
helicopter. They had got trapped in bad weather. The set text messages | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
this morning for help. We have had a mixed winter and people with very | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
little snow and very little mountaineering experience could | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
have navigated well enough. This shows that full winter can return | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
in the space of a night and you need to have the skills to deal | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
with that. Those expecting the temperatures of last week will not | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
expected this week. Many high-level routes were closed and transport | :02:57. | :03:06. | |
disrupted. This bus were stuck for hours. Tried to get back and | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
forwards is just impossible. The weather is OK but no good for buses. | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
No good whatsoever. Thousands of homes were without power. These | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
power lines came down. Weather warnings were issued yesterday so | :03:23. | :03:32. | |
we were not surprised but it still came as a shock. Elsewhere, people | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
to 10 inches of snow. This is in the areas which recorded soaring | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
temperatures last week. As the snow swept south, drivers near Harthill | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
had to face blizzard conditions. My satellite pictures so that it | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
transition from last week's heatwave to snow today. This source | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
of the Year was North Africa coming up through Scotland. Today, we have | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Arctic air coming in from the North poll which has brought the cold air | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
which has turned the rain to snow. So on were quick to make the most | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
of the conditions. The lambs must be asking their mothers were the | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
grass went and the daffodils wondering what happened to spring. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
An icy blast in April isn't rare, but the rapid change in conditions | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
has been striking. And nowhere has the change been more keenly felt | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
than in Aboyne where Colin Wight is keenly feeling it. It is a | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
beautiful evening here. Only 20 minutes ago, there was a fear some | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
blizzard which gives you an idea of how changeable things are. Things | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
have changed a lot in a week. A week ago, it was over 20 degrees | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
here. Today it was barely two Celsius. A big change. Thousands of | :04:59. | :05:07. | |
homes were affected today by power cuts, now down to around 100. The | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
local ski centre will open for business tomorrow but there is a | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
warning to make for drivers. Skies are clear in meaning further snow | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
showers but those Clearing skies could mean frost and ice on the | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
roads. If you are planning to get out into Scotland's mountains and | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
hills over the next few days, beware. There is a warning to myth | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
of avalanche. April is here with a vengeance. | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
A witness in the trial of a man accused of murdering a Glasgow | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
gangster has denied luring him to his death. Steven Glen told the | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
High Court a lot of people thought Kevin Carroll, known as Gerbil, was | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
out of control. But he also denied knowing that Gerbil was going to be | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
shot. Ross Monaghan is accused of the murder and denies all charges. | :05:50. | :05:59. | |
Julie Peacock was at the high court and joins us now. It was in this as | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
a car park in Glasgow that Kevin Carroll was shot and killed in | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
broad daylight in front of shoppers. Stephen Glen, a drug dealer, sort | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
happened. He told the court that he had arranged the time and place of | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
the meeting. This was after pressure from Jebel who called him | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
to say you're going to get in line and get shot. He admitted he was | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
terrified of Kevin Carroll and had heard stories of how he tortured | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
and mutilated those who crossed him. He decided to bring a friend to | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
watch his back. He was asked, if you are terrified, you would have | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
had more than one person watching your back? He replied, I just | :06:43. | :06:53. | |
:06:53. | :07:05. | ||
wanted someone to see what happened. Stephen Glen told the court a lot | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
of people thought that Kevin Carroll was out of control. He | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
denied that he would come here to his death. He said he had no idea | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
it was going to happen. Ross Moynihan is charged with the murder | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
of Kevin Carroll. He denies all charges and blames it eight other | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
:07:31. | :07:31. | ||
men for the crime. -- Monaghan. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on the programme. In sport, BBC Scotland | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
has learnt that Brian Kennedy will make a second bid for Rangers, | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
we'll have more on that and other developments from Ibrox. | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
The post split SPL fixtures have been released. And ready for their | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Heineken Cup challenge, but Edinburgh say their European | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
:07:57. | :07:59. | ||
opponents are the Manchester United Well, the Conservatives officially | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
launched their council election campaign today with a promise to | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
put the local back in local government. So can their new leader | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Ruth Davidson win some new followers and reconnect with | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
disengaged voters? Here's our local government correspondent Jamie | :08:11. | :08:20. | |
McIvor. This is not the People's Front of | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
Judaea. I am not the Messiah, I'm a very naughty boy. It is the | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Scottish Conservatives looking to connect with voters, who may be | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
feeling disconnected from the whole political system. 10 minutes' drive | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
away, at Cafe. This woman does not feel connected with politicians of | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
any party. I do not feel connected at all with the world of politics. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
It might be nice to see more politics going on instead of just | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
out and about. This customer has similar views. There's a certain | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
amount of disconnection. It is still bred within me to vote but I | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
do not always feel now that I am getting something positive from it. | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
The Conservatives hope to make that connection. Their plan - more local | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
decision-making, helping connect politics with real life. This is | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
about returning the word local to local government. We believe in a | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
local agenda and that decision making should happen as close to | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
people and communities as possible. We dislike the centralisation at | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
Holyrood. If we want local councils to have more control over services | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
in their area. Conservatives are saying that more power to local | :09:43. | :09:53. | |
:09:53. | :09:54. | ||
governments as at the heart of their vision. Their two key parts | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
to this campaign. One is devolving more powers to local communities. | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
Secondly, making it all voters understand that any vote cast via | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
an SNP candidate will be betrayed by a Alex Salmond as a vote for | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
separation. This year, the Conservatives are putting up | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
candidates in every constituency for the first time ever. | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
And another election story tonight. The SNP have suspended a council | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
candidate in North Lanarkshire who appeared to make a number of highly | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
offensive remarks on the internet. Let's go back to Jamie who's in our | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Edinburgh studio. Jamie, just what did sort of things did this man | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
say? The suspended party member is a council candidate called Lyall | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
Duff. A month the comments he appeared to make on Facebook, he | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
described Kaplan midwives who refuse to carry out abortions as | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
money-grabbing old witches. -- Catholic midwives. He charged | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
people looked a bargain at Royal Bank of Scotland bankers and | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
appeared to use the most offensive swearword to defeat -- described | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
the Labour leader Ed Miliband. A spokesman said he did not deny | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
making the comments. The SNP have suspended his party membership | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
pending an inquiry and have made it absolutely clear that comments like | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
these are unacceptable. Because nominations have now closed for the | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
council elections, it could be that his name will still appear on the | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
local ballot paper as an SNP candidate. This is all about one | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
candidate in one ward, but on the other hand, the SNP would want to | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
act quickly to try to prevent this row caused in any wider damage to | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
the party. They will want to make sure it does not undermine the | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
efforts they had been making in recent years to reach out to the | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Roman Catholic community. There is a lesson here also fought all | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
politicians. That comments made on Facebook and any other website can | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
certainly come back to haunt you. And A team of experts could travel | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
out to the stricken Elgin platform in the North Sea tomorrow, ten days | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
after the gas leak began. Operator Total says a team are preparing to | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
fly out to the platform 150 miles east of Aberdeen either tomorrow or | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Thursday depending on the weather. They'll assess whether a so-called | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
"top kill" operation can be used to stop the leak by pumping heavy mud | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
in to suppress the flow. A seventh person has died in an | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
outbreak of flu at a nursing home in Dundee. NHS Tayside says in | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
total 28 residents at Orchar Nursing Home are known to have been | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
infected. The cause of the outbreak is still under investigation. | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
The man jailed for killing a waiter in Orkney in 1994 has lost his | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
appeal against his conviction. Former Black Watch sniper Michael | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
Ross was 15 when he shot Shamsuddin Mahmood in Kirkwall. His bid to | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
have his murder conviction overturned has now been rejected by | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh. His defence lawyers have | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
indicated that they could now take his case to the Supreme Court in | :13:03. | :13:13. | |
:13:13. | :13:14. | ||
Hundreds of uninsured and unlicensed drivers are taking to | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
Scotland's roads, but police are determined to catch them. They cost | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
the rest of us millions in higher insurance premiums. | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
The technology used by officers means that a suspect car is spotted | :13:30. | :13:38. | |
in seconds. It could be something as simple as a couple of missed | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
monthly payments to the insurance company. Uninsured drivers are | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
responsible for 23,000 injuries and over 100 deaths per year. | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
consequences for driving without insurance for general road-users is | :13:57. | :14:07. | |
:14:07. | :14:08. | ||
-- are terrible. Back on the roadside, a call to the | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
DVLA confirms the details. It would appear that they own two vehicles, | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
neither of which is insured. There is a fee to have it released from | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
the power and, which is Canley �150. If it is left for any more than | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
seven days it is liable to be crushed. The car heads to the pound. | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
There is compensation for victims of the uninsured, but to fund it, | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
every law-abiding driver sees around �30 added to their premium. | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
The operation has only been running a short time but two vehicles are | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
already been brought to this pound. They face a hefty fee on top of a | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
minimum �200 fine and -- before they can get their vehicles back. | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
It is time to check out those insurance details! | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
Now let us take a look at what else has been happening across the | :15:07. | :15:17. | |
:15:17. | :15:19. | ||
country this Tuesday. Attempts to rescue a -- a whale on | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
a beach in North Berwick have failed. | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
A major investment in Scotland's railway station network has been | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
announced. The idea of setting up a substantial fund for new railway | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
stations will come as good news to many people across Scotland. We | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
have long harboured to -- harbour to the ambition to have good | :15:46. | :15:54. | |
stations everywhere. An appeal for BMX riders has been | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
launched in Dumfries and Galloway after a competition is taking place | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
without local riders. Only 2% of ticket sales for the | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
Edinburgh Festival are made by Glaswegians. | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
Children in Inverness are to be taught pipes and drums, before | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
being selected for the massed band. Some of the models as well. The it | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
is really encouraging. The resident male osprey at our | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
reserve near Aviemore had a shock when he returned for another season. | :16:31. | :16:41. | |
:16:41. | :16:42. | ||
His mate, who came back earlier, was entertaining another of Ospreys. | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
BSS PCA was called in Aberdeen after a snake was spotted in an | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
attic. Closer inspection -- their SS PCA. Closer inspection found it | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
to be a draught excluder. Ospreys and snakes and, just to let | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
you know that we will be Updating on the pandas later in the | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
programme. First, the latest sports news. | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
The future of Rangers should become clearer in the next 24-hours. Who | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
is in the frame to take over and what is likely to happen next? | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
Chris McLaughlan has more. This time tomorrow, the future of | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
this club could be in the hands of one consortium. 5:00pm is the | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
deadline for what the administrators call best and final | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
offers. With that in mind, let us look at how things stand. What do | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
we know about the biggest? Administrators say that four or | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
five could be on the table by 5pm. Back at the table is Brian Kennedy. | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
The sale sharks or owner has already had one big rejected. | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
Liquidation is still an option. The administrators -- the | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
administrators have already contacted footballing bodies to | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
discuss and new Rangers. And what about Craig Whyte? Will he stand in | :18:08. | :18:18. | |
:18:18. | :18:19. | ||
the way? He says that he will not make a deal but will not stand in | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
the way. The club's very future is at stake. | :18:22. | :18:30. | |
Will it have a future? We should know more in the next 24-hours. | :18:30. | :18:40. | |
:18:40. | :18:46. | ||
The SPL have announced their posts- The fine old Firm derby of the | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
season will be played on 29th April. Edinburgh are facing the Manchester | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
United of French rugby in the Heineken Cup quarter-finals on | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Saturday. That is according to Tom Smith. The players are confident | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
that they can continue with their impressive European form, with one | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
telling us he has total belief in his team mates. It is their biggest | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
match of the season, so despite the conditions, there is no escaping | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
training. The players are limbering up and they are ready to stand | :19:15. | :19:25. | |
:19:25. | :19:29. | ||
shoulder to shoulder to try to beat to lose. -- Toulouse. They have | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
been at the top for some time and they have some of the best | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
individual players in the world. It is a great opportunity for us. We | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
will hopefully win. Over 30,000 fans are expected to fill | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Murrayfield. Given that it is a European match, much is expected of | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
Edinburgh. The club are struggling in the league, where they set -- | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
:20:00. | :20:04. | ||
set second from the bottom. Continuing their recent run of all | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
wins would ease the pain of Bath Poor Six Nations campaign for | :20:09. | :20:19. | |
:20:19. | :20:24. | ||
Scotland. Glasgow were doing well. We have a big chance this weekend. | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
Hopefully that will see Edinburgh come out on top. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
At the men's world curling Championships in Switzerland, | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
Scotland have lost another match. Tom Brewster's rink were beaten 5-3 | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
against France. They have won four and lost two of their round-robin | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
matches. They play China later this evening. | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
One Sport Nation tonight it is all about Scottish Olympic dreams. Here | :20:49. | :20:58. | |
is John and Rona to tell us more. We are in London tonight for a | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
special. From Katherine Grainger to Sir Chris Hoy, we will tell you the | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
Tories -- the stories of Scots who are hoping for big things here. | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
That is tonight in about ten minutes. | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
Tune into that. A group of dancing robots from | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
Edinburgh University were making their debut at the Edinburgh | :21:25. | :21:35. | |
:21:35. | :21:44. | ||
Science Festival week -- will be making their debut. | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
These are the new kids on the block. These humanoid robots are not just | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
nifty on the dancefloor, they are examples of cutting-edge research | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
and a global race to get robots to mimic the behaviour of humans. | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
get a robot to react and be out -- and behave even remotely closely to | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
the capabilities of tumours, we have to look at all these different | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
components - the sensing, the activation of the movement and the | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
adaptability to changing environments. This is the fun side | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
of robotics, but humanoids are being developed for health care and | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
bionics. Edinburgh University is making great strides in robot | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
mobility. We have a very particular arrangement of muscles and tendons, | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
and they are good at storing energy and keeping us going. We get little | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
differences in the terrain and we cope with that. Traditionally, | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
robots have not been able to do that, so we're trying to bridge the | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
gap. For now, these robots are enjoying | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
their time in the limelight. You can catch them at the National | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Museum later in the week. MUSIC: "Thriller" by Michael | :22:54. | :23:04. | |

Just before the weather, the wintry conditions do not appear to have | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
deterred Edinburgh's pandas. Yesterday we told you that the city | :23:15. | :23:24. | |
due -- city's zoo thought that Tian Tian may be in season and ready to | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
mate with Yang Guang. They were paired up up five times throughout | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
the day, when the great between them was lifted. -- when the bars | :23:38. | :23:48. | |
:23:48. | :23:53. | ||
between them were lifted. Spring is a transitional month. | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
Sometimes you get warm when I up -- warm weather, and sometimes you get | :24:01. | :24:09. | |
winter clinging on. Most places are 15 or 16 degrees cooler than this | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
time last week. Here is the reason for it. High pressure last Tuesday | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
was in charge. That brought in warm air from North Africa and delivered | :24:20. | :24:30. | |
it to us in Scotland. Today we have had an area of low pressure. It | :24:30. | :24:38. | |
moves in an anti-clockwise direction, bringing in Arctic air. | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
Rain coupled with that cold Arctic air means that it turns to snow. | :24:45. | :24:53. | |
Tonight will be cold and frosty across the board. Their blue what - | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
- there will be one or two showers across the north-east and the | :24:59. | :25:08. | |
Borders. Temperatures will be below freezing for many of us. The low | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
pressure that brought the snow moves through England tomorrow. We | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
will have drier and more settled conditions tomorrow and also some | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
sunshine. Heading through the morning, there will be some cloud | :25:20. | :25:30. | |
moving in. Those showers will push away through the Borders, too. | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
Temperatures will be up to around eight Celsius, below average for | :25:34. | :25:44. | |
the year. There is the risk of Some Like Rain or showers across the far | :25:44. | :25:53. | |
north, Orkney and Shetland. -- light rain. There will be a | :25:53. | :26:03. | |
:26:03. | :26:05. | ||
widespread frost overnight. Rain moves in on Thursday. Temperatures | :26:05. | :26:15. | |
:26:15. | :26:17. | ||
will creep up a touch. Temperatures will get up to around 12 Celsius on | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
Friday. Now summary of tonight's top | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
stories: The arrival of Arctic April drops ten inches of snow to | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
the country, in sharp contrast to last week's weather. The snore | :26:32. | :26:41. | |
resulted in power cuts and a dramatic mountain rescue after | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
hill-walkers got trapped in the Cairngorms. | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
James Murdoch has resigned as chairman of BSkyB. He had already | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
stepped down as the head of News International, which owns the | :26:53. | :27:03. | |
:27:03. | :27:03. | ||
former News of the World. -- bones. The man accused of | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
murdering Glasgow gangster Kevin Carroll denied luring him his death. | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
He denied knowing that the man was going to be shot. He denies all | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
charges. Nick Clegg says the government will | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
not ram through plans to allow security services to get access to | :27:21. | :27:30. |
