Bow welcome to Reporting Scotland. Scotland no more for Craig Levein. | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
After weeks of speculation about his future. I am at Hampden Park | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
where the Scottish Football Association are due to speak in the | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
next half an hour. We will look at some of the runners and riders to | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
replace him as Scotland manager. An officer dies after a shooting | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
incident at this Glasgow police station. An investigation is under | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
way. The family of this man killed in a | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
New Zealand mine disaster at say they are angry and disappointed to | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
hear the accident was preventable. We report on the clampdown on the | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
unofficial bonfires as the authorities urged people to go to | :00:59. | :01:07. | |
organised displays. Craig Levein is no longer the | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Scotland football manager. He leaves less than three years into a | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
five-year contract. And after a string of bad results. Despite | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
weeks of speculation the Scottish Football Association have refused | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
to say whether or not he had been sacked or whether he left with a | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
pay-off reputed to be around �700,000. Let's go to Hampden Park | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
and our reporter there. Only a few days ago he said he | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
wanted to stay. Did he have a change of mind or was he pushed? | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
I think we can say with some certainty he has not had a change | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
of heart. The board has been deliberating over the last week | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
also as to whether he did indeed have a future as Scotland manager. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
They might say in the next half-an- hour they have announced a news | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
conference for 7pm. It does mark the final day of his Scotland | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
tenure. Almost three years ago Craig Levein | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
was seen as the man who could restored respectability to the | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
national team. Now having failed to do so he will be replaced. I am | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
more disappointed than anybody because I was behind his | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
appointment. It is sad it has come to this. But at the end of the day | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
football is football, everything is a result striven, and that is what | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
has been his downfall. -- results driven. He was a popular | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
figure in the dressing room but player-power couldn't save him. | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
players have got to take responsibility. The players we have | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
are not world class players. We have got good players that work | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
well together but it hasn't worked out since the campaign started. It | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
is results that count on the grass. He hasn't got those results and it | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
backfires on the manager. This is the record that cost and so delay. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
-- cost him so Dili. One of the highlights was this winner against | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
lowly Liechtenstein. Then there was the defeat in Prague. He played a | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
striker Les formation which has haunted him ever since. A fall-out | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
with Stephen Fletcher led to a lengthy stand-off. Nothing has | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
changed on the Stephen Fletcher front. We are here to talk about | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
people involved in that squad for the game against Slovenia. If you | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
don't mind we will stick to that. The Euro 2012 campaign ended | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
controversially. A late check penalty meant despair for the Scots. | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
-- Czech. The campaign quickly fell to pieces. Last month defeating | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
Belgium the final straw, ending his time in charge -- defeat in Belgium. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
They will be a news conference at 7pm, just as we can offer. There | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
have been five Scola man-eaters in the past decade. Who is in the | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
running -- Scotland managers. People like Gordon Strachan, the | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
former Celtic manager, he is out of a job and will come under | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
consideration. Walter Smith, a former Scotland manager. These are | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
questions I will put to the chief- executive Andy president in a short | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
time. We will have a go best in a bit more detail later. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
-- have a look at this. A police officer has died in a shooting | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
incident at a police station in Glasgow. Nobody else is understood | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
to have been involved which happened at one of the city's main | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
police stations. It is not clear exactly what | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
happened here this morning. What we do know is that at 11am an | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
ambulance was called. It left some time later without a casualty. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Strathclyde police have subsequently said an officer died | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
following what is says was the discharge of a firearm. We do know | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
it wasn't a crime. We are not sure whether it was an accident, perhaps | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
when an officer was handling a firearm. This is where all of the | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
officers who of firearms train to in the division which covers the | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
north and east of Glasgow are based. Strathclyde police have so far | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
issued no details of the officer, his name or rank. They will not do | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
that until his family have been informed. The assistant chief | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
constable say the force is thoughts are with the officers family, | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
friends and his colleagues -- forced's thoughts. As is usual in | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
cases like this an outside force has been appointed to oversee an | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
investigation. Officers from Lothian and borders Constabulary | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
will be here in the morning. The family of a young man from five | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
he died in a mining disaster in New Zealand say they hope lessons will | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
be learnt. Malcolm Hampden -- Malcolm Campbell and Pete Rodger | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
were killed when explosions ripped through the Pike River Mine two | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
years ago a report catalogues a series of safety failures. | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
Photos of Malcolm Campbell hang proudly on the wall of his parents' | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
home near St Andrews. Today they have been studying the report into | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
the disaster that took their son's life. They simply cannot believe | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the negligence that allowed it to happen. He was just 25 and seen to | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
be married when he died are thousands of miles from home. -- | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
soon-to-be married. He was one of 29 miners killed in the disaster | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
two years ago. Pete Rodger from Perth was another of the victims. A | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
Royal Commission report is scathing about safety standards at the Pike | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
River Mine. We know accidents happen and we have got to do | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
whatever we can to make it safe and prevented, but this has been a | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
blatant disregard for life, it really has. It has caused the grief | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
of 29 families, in Leverenz. report has found numerous failings. | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
It ignored 21 warnings that methane gas had reached explosive levels. | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
Ventilation systems were inadequate and as a result workers were | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
exposed to unacceptable risks. The disaster has cost New Zealand | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Minister of Labour her job. Her department assumed the mine was | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
complying with the Lord despite evidence it was not. Malcolm | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
Campbell's family what lessons to be learnt. I just feel I hope they | :07:53. | :08:03. | |
:08:03. | :08:04. | ||
have not died in vain. Just do something now. His body along with | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
those of his 28 colleagues remains within the Pike River Mine. They | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
are unlikely ever to be recovered. The family will travel to New | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Zealand later this month to say their farewells. We are going over | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
to say goodbye to Malcolm. Basically we know now there is any | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
5% chance if they ever go in so we are resigned to the fight he is not | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
coming home. -- to the fact. are watching Reporting Scotland. | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
Still to come, the hunt is on offer for 15,000 people to help at the | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Glasgow Commonwealth Games. After the fireworks at Hampden Park | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
you are the names in the frame to take over as Scotland boss from | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
Craig Levein? We have the latest life from the National Stadium. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
A victory for Andy Murray Against the biggest hitters of this year's | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
Test season but was it the performance to take into the final? | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
It is still four years until the first cars will be driving every it | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
but engineers say the most critical stage of construction of the new | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Forth Road Bridge is under way. Building the foundations of the | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
central support tower on a rock in the middle of the river. They say | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
if it is fraught with potential problems. On a rock in the Firth of | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Forth the final part of the first stage of Scotland's biggest | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
construction project in a generation is getting under way. In | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
the distance a crane there was part of a prefabricated units into place. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
They may look small when they are hanging from a crane but a close | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
they are massive. There are 10 of them. On these, the central tower | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
will be built. Engineers say this is actually the most critical stage | :10:00. | :10:08. | |
of the entire project. We are having to deal with geological | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
risks, water, marine currents, tides, we are more exposed to | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
weather conditions that we will be later. The new cross if well if | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Fife and the Lothians. They will become the third which over | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
neighbouring parts of the Firth of Forth, one from each of the last | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
three centuries. This is the project's most labour-intensive | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
time. Peak employment has been reached on a project. There are | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
1,200 people working on this project. That doesn't include | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
people engaged further down the supply chain and the supply orders. | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
It is a massive boost to the economy. Once the foundations are | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
complete the construction of that which probably begin next year, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
that is when the public will start to get a picture of what the | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
completed project will finally look like. | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
Two men are to stand trial for the murder of teenager Liam Aitchison | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
his body was found in a derelict building near Stornoway a year ago. | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
22-year-old Jonathan MacKinnon from Elgin and Stefan Millar who is 21 | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
from Inverness are accused of striking a sixteen-year-old on the | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
head and body with a knife and bottle and kicking and stamping on | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
the victim. A stockbroker who conned investors | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
out of a total of �32 million to fund his extravagant lifestyle has | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
been jailed for 13 years. Nicholas Levene, from North London, spent | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
the money on luxury cars, yachts and pheasant shooting parties. The | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
48-year-old admitted defrauding a series of business-people, | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
including Sir Brian Souter and his sister Ann Gloag, the founders of | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
the Stagecoach bus and rail group. Wanted, 15,000 of the most | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
enthusiastic people in Scotland. The hunt is on to find volunteers | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
to help with the Commonwealth Games in the country's largest ever | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
:12:07. | :12:08. | ||
peacetime a recruitment drive for They were the other heroes of the | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Olympics and Paralympics. The volunteers helping spectators and | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
competitors. And some were from Scotland. | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
I absolutely loved being down in London, being part of the | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Paralympic Games, being able to walk around with the uniform, | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
people were being so friendly towards you. The hope is volunteers | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
will play just as big a part at the Commonwealth Games. 15,000 are | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
needed. The centre in Glasgow is co-ordinating the hunt. We will be | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
ushering people into seat, they could be driving, helping people on | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
to buses, making sure buses run on time, meeting and greeting, there | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
is a whole range. Some will be lucky enough to be in the field of | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
play. Some volunteers will need specialist skills like first aid. | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
Most will just need a friendly attitude and commitment. | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
If you volunteer aid you might even get to dress up as Clyde because | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
the real Clyde will be very busy and will not be able to be in two | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
places at the same time. But there is a serious side as well. | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
Organisers want the legacy of the games it to be more than bricks and | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
mortar. The legacy could also be about Trans Forum -- transforming | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
the lives of some volunteers, helping young people find a job or | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
:13:39. | :13:39. | ||
but through self- confidence and skills they will gain through the | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
volunteering opportunities they have the chance to turn their lives | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
around. Anybody interested in following in the footsteps of the | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
London volunteers can get information now but they will have | :13:52. | :14:02. | |
:14:02. | :14:02. | ||
to wait until January before they There is to be an inquiry into why | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
almost 8000 students were left without funds for living expenses | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
almost halfway into their term this autumn. The Scottish government | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
wants to know why students who applied to its own agency after the | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
end of June were left waiting up to four months for payments to breach | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
them. 250 theatre staff are to be | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
recruited by NHS Lothian in an effort to tackle a backlog in | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
Operation Weeting times. The health board admitted last month that some | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
patients may have to travel to parts of Europe for operations if | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
new 12 week targets are to be met. The new surgeons, nurses and health | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
workers will allow Theatre's tour operator of weekends and evenings, | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
easing the pressure on evening -- existing staff. | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
Later this evening, another of our big debates is taking place. Gary | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
Roberts and his in Motherwell with a panel of politicians and a | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
special audience of young voters, discussing the issues ahead of the | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
2014 independence referendum. Join us for the latest in our | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
series of debates on choosing Scotland's future. I am in | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
Motherwell with a special studio audience of 16 and 17-year-olds. | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
They are waiting to put their questions to our panel of senior | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
politicians. Now a look at some other stories | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
from across Scotland this Monday. Jimmy Savile's links with the | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
Belford Hospital in Fort William are being investigated by NHS | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
Highland. He had been a fundraiser for the hospital during his visits | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
to the area. Servicemen and women killed in | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
conflicts since the end of the Second World War have been honoured | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
in a war memorial in Inverness for the first time. A new plaque was | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
unveiled at the weekend. A garden of remembrance has | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
officially opened in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens. Veterans | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
from past conflicts and serving soldiers gathered for the ceremony. | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
Wreaths were laid by the Lord Provost, the minister for veterans | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
and the head of the armed forces. A sick as outbreak has forced the | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
closure of three wards at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary. 25 | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
patients were struck down by a winter vomiting bug. Infection | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
control measures have been put in place and visitors have been urged | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
to stay away. As adding officer of the Scottish | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
parliament has held a series of meetings in the borders to mark the | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
first parliament day. She visited an arts project ahead of a meeting | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
held by the finance committee. is a formal meeting of the | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
committee. It is also showing people what Parliament actually | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
does. We hope we can bring people closer to their parliament and the | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
Parliament closer to the people. The air has been a further spread | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
of alien American crayfish in south-west Scotland. The species | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
has been confirmed for the first time in a loch in a catchment of | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
the river myth. An action plan is being drawn up to protect angling | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
interests. And there are more stories from | :17:04. | :17:12. | |
across Scotland on our website. Let's get tonight's sport now, | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
dominated by events at Hampden. Yes, there were fireworks at hand | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
and today. As we heard at the top of the programme, Craig Levein is | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
no longer the Scotland manager. Under his tenure, Scotland failed | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
to qualify for this year's European championship and they have had a | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
dismal start to the World Cup qualifying campaign. So what | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
happens next as the national team flounders on the world stage? | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
You know your time is up when supporters produce banners like | :17:42. | :17:51. | |
this. The man they are sending the SOS to is the favourite for some | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
bookies and fans. I would like Gordon Strachan. But if I was him, | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
I would not take on the job. Probably Gordon Strachan. I would | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
like to have him have a shot, but I am not sure he would take it on. | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
After a distinguished playing career at international level, | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
Gordon Strachan has managed the likes of Coventry, Southampton and | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
Celtic, where he won three league titles in a row. Other managers who | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
are also available include the former Scotland bosses Walter Smith | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
and Alex McLeish, but there are others in the frame. The shortlist | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
will be small. Personally, I would like somebody new to get it. Joe | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
Jordan ticks a lot of boxes. will and is now looking for its 7th | :18:43. | :18:53. | |
:18:53. | :18:54. | ||
manager in ten years. After Walter Smith left, Alex McLeish came in. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
When he left, George Burley was appointed. His sacking brought in | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
Craig Levein three years ago. Whoever comes in next inherits a | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Scotland side bottom of its qualifying group, with the next | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
World Cup in Brazil almost out of reach. | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
I am joined now by our football reporter in Camden. We have looked | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
at some of the names in the frame, but who is likely to be in charge | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
for the forthcoming match against Luxembourg? Of course, the squad | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
for that was due to be named tomorrow. That has been put back | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
perhaps to Wednesday. Equally, we understand that Billy Stark, the | :19:33. | :19:43. | |
:19:43. | :19:44. | ||
Under 21 Scotland manager, will step up. Those working alongside | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
Craig Levein will not be stepping into the breach. The Luxembourg | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
game is next Wednesday. But beyond that, we will be asking at a news | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
conference which starts at 7 o'clock. We have heard names like | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Gordon Strachan. Who is the favourite to take over as the New | :20:05. | :20:15. | |
:20:15. | :20:16. | ||
Scotland team and manager? Board and Strachan is the favourite. -- | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
Gordon Strachan is the favourite. But he was overlooked previously. | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Walter Smith and Alex McLeish both left of their own accord. For them | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
to come back might rankle a bit with some sections of the Tartan | :20:29. | :20:38. | |
Army. It will be interesting over the next few days. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
You can listen to the SFA's media conference and hear what Stuart | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
Reid and has to say about Craig Levein's departure in an extended | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
Sportsround on BBC Radio Scotland 810 medium wave. That media | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
conference gets under way at 7 o'clock. And we will bring you more | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
in the Lake Reporting Scotland bulletin at 10:25pm. | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
There is other business at Hampden today with the Scottish Cup draw. | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
There are two notable derby matches to look forward to. Hymns and | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
Hearts are drawn together in the fourth round of this year's | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
competition. And a Highland derby, too. Inverness Caley Thistle travel | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
to Ross County. For full details of all the fourth round draw, check | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
out our website. It is his first competition back on | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
home soil since winning the US Open, but it was a battle from the start | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
for Andy Murray at the season- ending ATP Tour finals. After | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
losing the first set to Tomas Berdych, Murray finally found his | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
rhythm in the second set and was able to ease over the finish line | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
he in just over two hours. Job done, but he is taking nothing for | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
granted. You need to try and treat it like a knockout event. If you | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
have won your first two matches, you have a good chance of | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
progressing, so you need to adjust focus like it is the end of a major | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
event. I got the wind today, but I have also won two matches here and | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
not gone through a few years ago. It happened with del Potro. Every | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
game counts. Remember, remember the fifth of | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
November - but in a good way. That is the hope of the emergency | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
services tonight. Usually, Guy Fawkes' Night sees a rise in anti- | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
social behaviour and violence, so police have come up with them an | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
unusual method of monitoring what is going on. | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
The party atmosphere is building here at Glasgow Green. Around | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
50,000 people are expected to come here. This is one of the organised | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
events we are being encouraged to go to. Why? Because they are | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
designed to be safe and fun for all the family. But there is another | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
side to Bonfire Night. We went out on patrol today to see how | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
unofficial bonfires are dealt with. Community enforcement officer Mark | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
Harvey and police officer Nicola Brown are working together, finding | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
:23:21. | :23:22. | ||
unsafe bonfires. By removing its unofficial bonfires, there is a | :23:22. | :23:30. | |
possibility of preventing anything serious. If people gather around an | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
unofficial bonfires, there is a chance of under-aged drinking as | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
well. First stop. This bonfire has already been dismantled. It was | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
made up of 100 doors from a disused properties. Back in the van, a few | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
minutes down the road, our next call. Another bonfire, about four | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
metres high. Nicola and Mark contact the council to clean up. | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
is close to their houses and built on uneven ground. The bonfire could | :24:05. | :24:13. | |
topple and if anyone was in the vicinity, it would be dangerous. | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
Substances can give off toxic fumes. Young people build unofficial | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
bonfires, which can have dangerous consequences. These is | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
traditionally one of the busiest nights of the Year for emergency | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
services. We are taking some of the pressure of police and fire | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
services tonight by identifying and removing hazards. But the patrol | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
carries on. There are events all around the | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
country. There is a sell-out at Edinburgh. There is going to be a | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
theme night on Aberdeen Beach. The fireworks start here at 7:30pm. The | :24:51. | :25:01. | |
:25:01. | :25:06. | ||
It is certainly keep him off. Here is the Guy Fawkes weather forecast. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
It is a tale of two halves. Starts off dry and cold, but turns out wet. | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
What a gorgeous day it was across Scotland. We saw glorious sunshine. | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
Mind you, it was a cold start. Under the clear skies, it is | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
turning cold again. If you have not set out yet to go to an event, it | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
will be dry and cold, perfect conditions. After midnight, we see | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
cloud, wind and rain spilling into the north and west. This advances | :25:40. | :25:49. | |
down across the country. It will turn milder through the course of | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
the night. That sets up a change for the coming week. Tomorrow | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
morning starts off on a grey, damp and drizzly note. Around the middle | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
part of the afternoon, we hold on to those cloudy skies across the | :26:08. | :26:18. | |
:26:18. | :26:19. | ||
south-west. Glimmers of brightness for Tayside. There is a lot more | :26:19. | :26:28. | |
rain across the north-west Highlands. To end the day, it stays | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
cloudy. Rain continues across the north and west and it remains windy. | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
The pressure chart shows a mixture of low pressure systems coming in | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
off the Atlantic on Wednesday. The first one will bring in strong | :26:43. | :26:53. | |
:26:53. | :26:55. | ||
winds and heavy rain. It will be drier further east. A brief ridge | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
of high pressure set in on Thursday. It will be drier before the next | :27:01. | :27:09. | |
weather system moves in. It is a mild unsettled week to come. Enjoy | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
this evening Andy safe. We will watch the fireworks from the office | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
window. Craig Levein has been sacked as | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
this column football manager. The SFA confirmed the decision, saying | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
it was taken primarily due to disappointing results in the World | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
Cup qualifying campaign. A police officer has died after | :27:28. | :27:31. |
