Tonight on Reporting Scotland, no cheating. The former Rangers owner | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
says No Rules were broken under his watch and accuses the authorities | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
of rewriting laws. Flash flooding this inject brat during a two-hour | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
downpour. -- injured borough. -- in this town. People are talking about | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
a sense of community. Everybody is trying to help out. Also, an | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
anxious wait. Exam results are due out tomorrow but university and | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
out tomorrow but university and college places are scarce. My word, | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
he has got talent! K another golden moment for Scotland. Scott Brash | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
takes top honours in the Olympic team showjumping and the triumph of | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
Andy Murray brings a touch of gold Andy Murray brings a touch of gold | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
back to his aim town from Wimbledon. Former Rangers owner Sir David | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
Murray said no cheating took place during his time at Ibrox. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Investigations are continuing about how certain players were paid. The | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
current manager and one of his predecessor have also defended the | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
club. Some of the most famous title wins have come from this period | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
under investigation, but by a tribunal and a football independent | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
commission. The man at the helm issued a staunch defence of the | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
:02:00. | :02:03. | ||
club methods saying that rules were Good he be right? He could be right. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
But we are still waiting for the result of the case. Rangers have | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
not yet been found guilty of any wrongdoing. And if he has not done | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
anything wrong from that point of view, he has not done anything | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
wrong from a contract point of view as well. But a documentary | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
uncovered evidence submitted in court suggesting that 53 players | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
and staff had letters giving undertakings to fund ace up trust | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
with cash. But the current manager thinks that there is no case to | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
answer. It was not under a proper contract and I have been told it is | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
probably a complete waste of time but people have seen it fit to | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
pursue this. That is up to them. Alex McLeish was the manager for | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
much of the period under investigation. He said he thinks | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
the idea of stripping the clerk of titles is a non-starter but the | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
question remains that it they had not operated the scheme, could they | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
have afforded some of the players that helped them win the titles? It | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
will be decided by a civil court but the commission must decide if | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
they have broken any of their roles. Residents and traders on the | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
Borders are demanding assurances after yesterday's flooding. The | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
clean-up operation continues after been deluged turned the main | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
thoroughfare into a river. Locals want to know everything is being | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
done to stop it happening again. Here is our correspondent. Well, it | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
is starting to rain heavily again. We have still got weather warnings | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
in the Borders tonight. The problems started right at the back | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
of the town. It burst its banks and it we had a very heavy and intense | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
downpour. Floodwaters were cascading down the street and | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
flooding was down in the centre of town and it was hitting businesses | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
as it went. Businesses like this coffee-shop. It was flooded in a | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
matter of minutes. Another business, all the fixtures and fittings have | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
been ruined and are out on the street. Upstairs was not too bad | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
but downstairs in the basement, the water had come through the walls. | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
It had ruined everything stored down here. It has ruined everything | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
here yesterday. It is as bad as it has ever been. The Barbers was also | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
hit badly. That was Corby did time in 15 years. I have got to go up | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
and look at the walls and the plastering and they have been | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
soaked. High street houses stood little chance against the flood | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
water. It was bursting through the doors. Eat -- it has ruined the | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
tiles and the papers. We had not checked the electrics as of yet but | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
we are pretty devastated. The high street is downhill. But this is | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
where the river burst its banks. If we look down here, we have got | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
special fencing. When the water level hits that, it sets off an | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
alarm at headquarters. But it was so intense and so quick that this | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
whole thing was completely overwhelmed in minutes. Yesterday, | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
this underpass was impassable. It was almost full. Emergency services | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
have checked homes for stranded residents. As the damage was | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
checked, we did have some council criticism. At the mobilised | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
machines quickly along with the police and fire brigades and | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
actually the response, we have cleared the town very well and we | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
have helped local traders to resolve issues. We have got an air | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
of determination here. This town is doing everything it can to get back | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
to normal as quickly as possible. Anybody that has been affected by | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
the flooding, businesses and local residents, have been asked to | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
attend a special town hall meeting. People are asking for assurances | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
that everything that can be done to stop this happening again will be | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
done. A key way it is nearly over for nervous pupils and probably | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
even more nervous parents after the exam results are due out tomorrow. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
The futures of thousands of young people across the country will be | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
decided by these envelopes and text messages. But we have got a warning | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
from universities that few places will be available for students | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
looking for last-minute places. Here is our correspondent. How much | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
of a squeeze have we got on places? We have got virtually no surplus | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
places at ancient universities such as St Andrews and Edinburgh. But | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
this helpline will be ready tomorrow to tell young people that | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
they have got a few places at other universities such as Edinburgh | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
Napier and the Edinburgh of the Highlands. They have got 1,000 | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
extra places. But in general, lack of places seem to be down to some | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
universities dropping some courses. And because of increased demand | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
from Scottish people and students across Europe. Word is getting | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
around that Scotland has got several excellent universities and | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
tuition is free for EU students. And Steve gurkhas tomorrow is not | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
just on people hoping to get to university. -- the focus. Youth | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
unemployment is a major issue right now. Advisers will tell young | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
people about job vacancies and modern apprenticeships and about | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
remaining places in further education colleges. Young people | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
using this helpline last year said that advice for anybody tomorrow | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
that does not get the results they hope for are wondering what to do. | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
You have always got options there if you do not get what you are | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
looking for. Stay calm and do not panic and look at what he wants to | :08:37. | :08:46. | |
do. You have always got a way to get what he wants. -- you want. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
That opens at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. The number should be on | :08:50. | :08:59. | |
your screen now... Join us tomorrow on Reporting Scotland and on radio | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
and online and we can fill you in on important results. This is | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Tonight, hopes that the legacy of | :09:11. | :09:19. | |
the Olympics will be a new generation of champions. But is | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
there an Olympic downside? Advance ticket sales have slumped at the | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
Edinburgh tattoo. The door might be open about their is no place for | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
the Wallace in Craig Levein's international squad. And Michael | :09:32. | :09:42. | |
:09:42. | :09:44. | ||
Jamieson says he cannot wait to Another day and another gold medal | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
for the Scots at Team GB. We are getting used to this. It was the | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
turn of Scott Brash in the showjumping. Here is our | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
correspondent. Another golden day for Team GB. These Olympics are | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
turning out to be one of the best ever for Great Britain and it is | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
already new territory for Scottish athletes. The Scots have a won 10 | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
medals. That is the best ever tally for Scottish people in Team GB. The | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
latest was a gold medal coming this afternoon for Scott Brash from the | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
showjumping. We can see him in action just now. He was part of the | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
action just now. He was part of the team competition in the showjumping. | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
It was the first gold medal for Great Britain in 60 years in show | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
jumping. He was part of a four man team and it was a dramatic contest | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
against the Netherlands for the gold medal. And they are | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
celebrating a wonderful achievement for B-team and after he received | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
his gold medal, Scott Brash was his gold medal, Scott Brash was | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
generous in his praise of team mates. I am delighted for everyone | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
and especially the team here. We have fought all these years worked | :11:06. | :11:14. | |
hard. And we have just been trying to get to this level and it is | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
great to have to play our part in helping them. Gold for Scott Brash | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
and a calls for Andy Murray yesterday as well at Wimbledon. He | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
said it was one of the best weeks of his tennis career. He said his | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
victory against Roger Federer was the best performance of his career | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
and it has led to an interesting new feature on the streets of | :11:42. | :11:50. | |
Dunblane. Paint for the pillar-box in Dunblane. Especially dumb by the | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
Royal Mail. And a shiny gold medal. It was the finest moment of Andy | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
:12:06. | :12:07. | ||
Murray's Korea. -- career. Gold medal at last and Olympic champion. | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
Our I have loved every minute of it. The best week of my tennis life, | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
definitely, winning the final today. It is definitely the biggest win of | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
my career and I played well from start to finish. And he could not | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
get to his loved ones quickly enough to share his success. A | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
poignant moment with his mother. She first gave him a tennis racket | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
when he was four. He always believed in himself but it was that | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
ultimate belief of getting above that final hurdle in a major event | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
and I hope that will give him the confidence to get more titles. | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
lucky boy got some extra laugh. What A difference a few weeks can | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
make. It is not going to be easy... To stroke when he was beaten by | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
Roger Federer. -- distraught. But that has got a golden lining. He | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
had a strict set demolition of the greatest player of all time. -- | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
straight-sets demolition. I hope he enjoys it because that is important. | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
A silver medal in the mixed doubles with Laura Robson to add to the | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
impressive Team GB tally. It has been incredible in the last few | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
days. Can I have a quick shot of the medal? This is Andy Murray's | :13:33. | :13:40. | |
gold medal. I am with an Olympic gold medallist, congratulations, | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
:13:50. | :13:57. | ||
What will be the legacy of the 2012 games? There are hopes that it will | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
inspire a whole new generation of champions. Not only that, perhaps | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
it has inspired some armchair sports fans to get off the couch | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
and take part. They are some of the best young | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
athletes in the Borders to today having added spring in their step. | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
The reason? A certain Jamaican sprinter -- sprinter who captivated | :14:19. | :14:29. | |
:14:29. | :14:30. | ||
a worldwide operate -- audience. There was really inspiring. We all | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
want to get as far as hands. I just hope that we can. | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
An Olympic team is something only a select few will realise, but with | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
London 2012 in full swing, this Glasgow's poor job is pleasing and | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
some extra fittings. A lot of people are starting to really feel | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
that they can go out and emulate the people that they are seeing on | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
the screen. There is no doubt at the Olympics | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
is creating plenty of enthusiasm. The question is whether that is | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
just a temporary bars or whether it can be turned into something more | :15:09. | :15:18. | |
permanent.. -- temporary bars. is accepted without any critical | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
awareness. People are saying that there is a connection between the | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
level of success in the Olympic Games and involvement. They're not | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
necessarily connected. There has been a similar pattern | :15:38. | :15:48. | |
:15:48. | :15:49. | ||
for years threat crossing -- threat coaching. My concern is a wholly | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
going to facilitate it. Are we going to look after the children, | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
how are we going to use that enthusiasm? | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
As the next generation try to follow in the heel slips -- tried | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
to follow in the footsteps of their Olympic heroes, but is hope that | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
:16:19. | :16:19. | ||
that has not such a way. Monklands General Hospital in Airdrie has | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
been told to tighten its procedures after staff gave inspectors the | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
wrong information on patients identified as not for resuscitation. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
The error came to light during an inspection in June. Healthcare | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
Improvement Scotland found seven the areas of strength and | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
highlighted 15 years which needed attention. NHS Lanarkshire said all | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
the issues which had been raised were being addressed "as a | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
priority". The coalition of Labour, | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
Conservative and Independent councillors running Aberdeen City | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
has outlined its vision for the next five years. "Aberdeen - the | :16:45. | :16:55. | |
:16:55. | :16:56. | ||
Smarter City", prioritises economic development. The priority on our | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
economy and improving our economy. Aberdeen is already the easiest | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
place in the UK to get a job, our role is to make that easier and to | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
develop that further. The Piping Live festival is under | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
way in Glasgow, as the city prepares to host World Pipe Band | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
Championship at the weekend. About 30,000 visitors and 8,000 pipers, | :17:15. | :17:24. | |
drummers and performers from around the world are expected in the city. | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
It is a very big deal to us. We practised twice a week for this, | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
three hours a day when we are here. We try to play the best that we can. | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
An unexploded World War II mine found at a pipeline in the North | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
Sea has been "successfully detonated". Operator Shell first | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
discovered the mine in 1993, 62 miles off Aberdeen. | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden has unveiled plans for future | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
development. It's aiming to spend around �40 million in total to | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
refurbish buildings and develop its education facilities. Initially, | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
work will start in the Victorian Glasshouses. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
The comedian Eddie Izzard is back in Edinburgh to perform a one off- | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
show, his first at the Fringe in 19 years. He began his comedy career | :18:07. | :18:17. | |
:18:17. | :18:18. | ||
as a street performer at the Fringe in the 1980s. It was huge when I | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
first did it. I was first here in 1991 and finished in 1993. It is | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
now 2012. Crazy. It was huge and difficult when I started and now it | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
is even bigger. And there are more stories from | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
your area, and all the latest news, 24 hours a day on BBC Scotland's | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
website. Back to the sport. | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
We will start with football. Craig Levein has named his what -- his | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
squad for next week's friendly against Australia. But he says | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
there is no room for Lee Wallace. He has not closed the door or on | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
him, but says that the step up from Third Division to international | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
football is pretty difficult. Another season, another dilemma for | :19:09. | :19:19. | |
:19:19. | :19:19. | ||
the Scottish international lot -- Scottish international squad. | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
Players playing at the top level will find it easier to step into | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
playing international football. It is very difficult for those playing | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
the Third Division in Scotland to be at the speed of an international | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
match. I think it is more difficult for him now to get in than it would | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
have been previously. His place has been taken by former Celtic left- | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
:19:50. | :19:51. | ||
back Danny Fox, now at Southampton and rewarded for fine form. | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
I do not not there has any been -- ever been a Scottish player that | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
has scored as many goals as he did last season. I am looking forward | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
to training with pen and giving and Sunday in time. | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
Darragh and Fletcher's career was threatened by a bold conditions. He | :20:13. | :20:22. | |
will not feature until he is fully fit -- Darren Fletcher. | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
If we look at some of the teams in the grip and where the players are | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
playing, we say that they are extremely good players. What I want | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
to do is have the best team. That is what I'm interested in and that | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
involves the supporters as well. And the time for the Tartan Army to | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
get involved is one week on Wednesday at Easter Road. | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
As we heard earlier in the programme, thanks to Scott Brash's | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
Gold, Scotland have now won six golds, three silver and one bronze | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
medal at the London Olympics. Last Wednesday it took some world record | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
to deny Michael Jamieson gold in the pool. The 23-year-old says that | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
he cannot wait to bring his silver medal home to Glasgow. It should be | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
great. That is home for me, I have been away for her a number of years | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
now, with something and training, but it is always great to go back | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
and all my family are still based there so it will be great to see | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
them as well. Scotland's Catriona Matthew is the | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
new Irish Open champion after sustaining a victory over Suzann | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
Pettersen. She endured next fortunes on her | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
way to victory with five birdies and four bogies. But she says she | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
is delighted to have clinched her 5th title on the European Tour. | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
The Olympic Games have been dominating our TV screens, but are | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
the impacting on other forms of summer entertainment? Edinburgh's | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
festivals already regard themselves as the unofficial cultural Olympics, | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
but how will they fare in the face of competition from the real thing. | :22:08. | :22:18. | |
Sales for some events like their Edinburgh Tattoo are down. | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
The Edinburgh Tattoo, like the Olympics, is a slickly run, well- | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
drilled operation. A world-class event attracting audiences and | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
performers from around the globe. This year, ticket sales are very | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
slow. Almost all of the world's broadcast media will be focused on | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
the Olympic and all festivals will be challenged to get their | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
particular event covered. You need to find your own space. | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Other festivals are booming. The Jazz Festival, which directly | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
classed with the Olympics's opening weekend, has had records sales. | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
Organisers say that that is down to early marketing and the idea that | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
you can enjoy both sport and culture and Edinburgh. We have to | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
be ambitious and say that we are the most important cultural event | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
in the world and that we need to be here. Many of them will be. But | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
also the way that people are consuming their culture and their | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
supporters very different in media terms. They are consuming on the | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
tablets, they are looking around, they can dip into something on line | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
and then go to the real event. That is a shift I think since the last | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
Olympics. The focus is also shifting towards | :23:37. | :23:47. | |
:23:47. | :23:49. | ||
the home crowd, with Glasgow been just one of their area has been | :23:49. | :23:58. | |
targeted. We have been working with ScotRail and Dan -- and run late | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
night trains. Will the Olympics are not a new challenge, and every four | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
hears the festival's face competition from whatever country | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
hosts the Olympics. This year days say that there up to | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
the challenge and are already planning for the next one. The 2014 | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
Commonwealth Games. We saw the devastation caused by | :24:23. | :24:33. | |
:24:33. | :24:33. | ||
the weekend floods, what is the It was another day of heavy rain | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
across many parts of the country, that is indicated by the brightest | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
colours on the radar. We will keep some of those going throughout the | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
evening. There is a yellow weather warning in force for her eastern | :24:49. | :24:57. | |
and southern parts of Scotland. Some patchy rain through Orkney, | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
Caithness and Banff and Buchan. Otherwise, it becomes dry tonight, | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
quite misty and murky, and on the mild side, temperatures between 10 | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
and 15 Celsius. Tomorrow, the sun will come out, | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
but then it will set off another rash of shares. There will be some | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
heavy, potentially a torrential downpours. Difficult travelling | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
conditions, potentially so localised flooding. Quite cloudy | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
and damp too, for Orkney. Over the West Highlands, through Sky, down | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
through coastal Argyll, we will see some good spells of sunshine and | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
temperatures peaking at 19 Celsius. With light winds, that will feel | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
fine and the sunshine. To the rest of afternoon, those shares remain a | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
feature. It is a fine enter the day across the country, that is a sign | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
of things to come, because through Wednesday what we had been waiting | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
for, high pressure building and strongly from the West, and what a | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
contrast from the rest of the week. It will be dry, with warm spells of | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
sunshine and no more than a gentle breeze. | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
There are still a good deal of credit at -- cloud around, but | :26:26. | :26:36. | |
:26:36. | :26:38. | ||
predominantly dry. Temperatures and the low twenties. The headlines: | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has abandoned plans to reform | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
the House of Lords, saying that the failure of Conservative MPs to back | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
proposals were the breach of the concert -- breach of their | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
coalition contract. Rangers's former owner Sir David | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
Murray says that no rules were broken under his watch and accuses | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
football authorities have rewriting laws. | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
In Syria, President Assad has suffered a major political law, | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
with the defection of his prime minister to the opposition. He | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
renounced the government as a terrorist regime and Sudi a bomb | :27:15. | :27:24. |
