Tonight on Reporting Scotland: Hundreds of appointments and | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
procedures are cancelled at hospitals in and around Glasgow | :00:19. | :00:29. | |
after a computer system fails. It really is very concerning. A | :00:30. | :00:35. | |

stations across Scotland. Passengers on a cruise liner are | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
struck down with sickness and Passengers on a cruise liner are | :00:47. | :00:50. | |

And Celtic say they won't be appealing the red card issued to | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
captain Scott Brown during their Champions League defeat to | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
Barcelona. Good evening. Hundreds of patients | :00:59. | :01:10. | |
in the west of Scotland have had their hospital appointments and | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
procedures postponed due to a major failure in the computer network | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
operated by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The health board say they | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
managed to restore a basic level of computer service by lunchtime today, | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
but not before patients were left disappointed and worried. Aileen | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
Clarke joins us now. At least 590 patients have had their | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
treatment or appointment postponed, because it was reliant on detailed | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
imaging and other patient information which couldn't be | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
accessed. Now that includes at least 485 outpatient appointments, 14 | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
operations and 48 chemotherapy treatments. One of those patients | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
who should have had his chemotherapy yesterday is David McLackland. He | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
gets the treatment every three yesterday is David McLackland. He | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
months, but yesterday he got a phonecall at home just before he | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
left for the hospital. David at home today in Glasgow on | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
the day he should be recovering from chemotherapy treatment but instead | :02:10. | :02:10. | |
he is worrying about when he will chemotherapy treatment but instead | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
get it. The type of cancer I have is incurable and this is the only | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
treatment that stops it relapsing. It really is very concerning. A | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
computer system can stop you getting treatment. David is just one of | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
hundreds of patients who have had their appointments for treatment, | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
operations or consultations postponed. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Patient groups say it has made waiting times much worse for | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
patients and their families. You maybe have to wait weeks for | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
your operation and your family is You maybe have to wait weeks for | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
waiting and maybe organising themselves if you are coming in for | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
a procedure that they will be around to help you when you get out. You | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
may have taken holiday to fit it in. Lots of things. It devastates | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
families. What is the health board saying? | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Well, the chief executive today apologised to all the patients who | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
have been affected and said they would be rescheduled as soon as | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
possible. David there should get his chemo on Friday now, for example. | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
Providing the problems are fixed. The board say the problem stems from | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
corruption in their software over the holiday weekend which also | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
affected their back up systems. Clinicians couldn't get access to | :03:33. | :03:45. | |
electronics but medical records, archive laboratory results and the | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
current GP referral letter because these are provided electronically to | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
consultants. By lunchtime today, they say they | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
had a basic level of computer service up and running and are | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
hopeful of all the systems being back up and running tonight. They | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
are urging all patients to turn up for appointments tomorrow, and the | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Health Secretary today has asked all health boards to check their | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
computer systems and back up systems, remember both failed here. | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
Thanks very much. Plans have been published which | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
could see the closure of the front desks of around a quarter of police | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
stations across Scotland. Police Scotland says there are now | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
alternative ways for the public to get in touch in non-emergency | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
situations including the new 101 telephone number. Our Home Affairs | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Correspondent, Reevel Alderson reports. Bobbies on the beat. It is | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
what everyone wants and allows the police to interact with the | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
community. There is another way of doing that-police stations where the | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
public can present documents and receive advice but these Scotland | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
wants to change that and have launched a consultation. -- police | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
Scotland. In a quarter, 62, it is proposed to close the account is | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
altogether. They further 107 will have their opening hours reduced, to | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
save £4.3 million a year. The office at this police station in Glasgow is | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
one of those scheduled to close. On average only 12 people come here | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
every day. Senior officers stressed there are alternative ways of | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
contacting police, including the new 101 number. It already accounts for | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
nearly half of non-emergency calls in Scotland. Of that very small | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
number of attendances, only 10% of those are actually for a policing | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
service that couldn't be done in another way, such as the markets, | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
mobile police stations and 101. This is another station that is | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
scheduled to close. The good opinion is divided. I think | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
local people are losing a service and local people will not be | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
reporting matters. Sometimes we do see cars coming by | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
and foot patrols so the station has been a problem for years. Policing | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
in Scotland is changing with the national force changing the pace. | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
The consultation recess last until mess -- consultation process lasts | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
until next month. It was supposed to be a holiday to | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
remember but for the FOURTH time in a row a luxury cruise liner has | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
docked in Rosyth carrying passengers struck down with a vomiting virus. | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
Since the start of September more than 400 people have become ill | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
on-board the Black Watch. The cruise operators, who're facing the wrath | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
of angry customers, insist their procedures for dealing with the | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
illness are among the best in the industry. Steven Godden reports. | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
illness are among the best in the Back on dry land, passengers are | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
spirited away from the Fife coast and for many, there cruise was a | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
trip to forget. Having dropped off many groggy passengers at Forsyth | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
earlier this morning, the Black Watch was very quickly on the move | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
-the second time in less than two weeks cruise ship has been at the | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
centre of an outbreak of sorrow virus. The ships last four journeys | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
and have seen more than 400 people struck by the illness, including | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
Archie and Kathleen. It was pretty grim. | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
I was confined for 48 hours. Jointly we had four days in this cabin. | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
At check-in, Archie was handed a letter warning about previous | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
passengers who had left the Black Watch a few others earlier. The | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
cruise operators say extra preventative letters were put in | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
place. They say those procedures are among the best in the industry. | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
It happens in hotels, it happened on cruise ships, it happened on coach | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
tours. It is the same kind of confined environment where people | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
are spending time together. But easing Archie's frustration will | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
take more than the offer of a cut-price creams. | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
I wouldn't advise it on anyone. -- cut-price cruise. I wouldn't | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
advise anyone to go abroad with Black Watch. Operators insist the | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
back watch will be deep cleaned on its way to deliver before welcoming | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
passengers for its latest cruise tomorrow. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
An independent Scotland could divert a proportion of oil revenues into | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
two funds to iron out changes in price, and provide long-term | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
investment. That's the argument advanced by Scottish Ministers on | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
advice offered by economic experts from their Fiscal Commission. But | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
supporters of the Union say it only proves that Scotland would be | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
vulnerable to the volatility of oil. This from our political editor Brian | :08:53. | :09:01. | |
Taylor. Under pressure. Machinery is | :09:01. | :09:10. | |
inspected for stress. This man says Scotland should divert revenue from | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
the North Sea into savings and productive investment, as | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
recommended by his advisers. What the Fiscal Commission has done for | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
Scotland is establish a strong framework of how we can create | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
long-term financial stability for an independent country, using our oil | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
wealth to our advantage and in contrast, Alistair Darling and his | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
cronies have squandered our wealth over the years. | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
An independent Scotland would set up to funds. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
One would copy Norway, saving money for long stone -- long-term | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
investment. The other would be for short-term use, ironing out | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
fluctuations in the value of oil. Because of the volatility of North | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
Sea oil, you would have to establish a fund which would mean you have to | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
cut services elsewhere or race taxes. Why? Because even in the good | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
times, Scotland will spend every taxes. Why? Because even in the good | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
penny of the North Sea oil and this is a risk, Scotland doesn't want or | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
need this dependency. But shouldn't the UK government have set as the | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
many when the oil was discovered with Mac Alistair Darling says this | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
is irrelevant. What matters now is the future. | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
These planned funds would require difficult spending cuts elsewhere or | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
tax increases. John insists there is sufficient oil for Scotland to build | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
a reserve. Pressure and choice. Former MSP Bill Walker has failed in | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
a bid to be freed from prison pending his appeal against | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
convictions for domestic abuse. Lawyers acting for Walker asked a | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
judge at the High Court in Edinburgh to temporarily release him. Last | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
month he was sentenced to a year in jail for assaults on three ex wives | :10:57. | :11:08. | |
and a step-daughter. It has emerged that around 3% of | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
people who applied for tickets for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Glasgow have still not been told if they've been successful. Most people | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
who applied for tickets received e-mails on Monday. Organisers | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
Glasgow 2014 said all applicants could now check their allocation by | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
logging into the ticketing website and using their customer reference | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
number. The director of the arts funding | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
body Creative Scotland has announced details of a major shake-up. Janet | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Archer, who took up her post in July, plans a team of nine directors | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
including one for film and media. The Prime Minister has appealed | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
directly to the people of Scotland to vote no in next year's | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
independence referendum. In his keynote speech at the Conservative | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
Party conference, David Cameron said there was an unanswerable case for | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
the United Kingdom. Our political correspondent, David Porter, reports | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
from Manchester. At least they agree on one thing, | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
both sides in the independence debate concurred that the clock is | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
ticking and the countdown to the referendum is underway. This against | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
the backdrop of the final Tory gathering before next's independence | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
vote. The pro union campaign is working hard keeping Scotland the | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
union is a priority. This party is at its heart a Unionist party, a | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
union is a priority. This party is party that once to keep the United | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
union is a priority. This party is Kingdom together and speak out for | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
Britain. We absolutely insist that this | :12:31. | :12:39. | |
kingdom remain united. We are stronger, we are better, we are | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
kingdom remain united. We are fairer if we stick together in one | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
country can make United for the future. | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
An indication of the importance the Tories put to this fight. The | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
Scottish leader was given a prime sort just before the David Cameron | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
to put her case forward. Walk taller, shout louder, stand | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
stronger together. I am proud, proud of the Britain we have built | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
stronger together. I am proud, proud together and I will fight hard, | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
mind, body and soul to keep it together. | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
No subliminal messages here. Each speaker framed in front of a union | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
flag. Today I want a more simple message | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
to go out to the people of Scotland and it is this - we want you to | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
stay. We want us to stick together. Think | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
of all the things we have achieved together and all the things we could | :13:41. | :13:49. | |
do together. Our kingdom united. As they leave Manchester, there is | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
no doubting where the Conservatives stand on Scottish independence. | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
Scotland's mountain rescue teams have announced their first | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
commercial sponsorship deal. The 26 teams, which rely largely on | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
donations have linked up with a whisky firm to help pay for vital | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
equipment and training. Our reporter Craig Anderson join us now from Glen | :14:08. | :14:19. | |
Nevis. Forget the Indian summer. I don't | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
think it will be that long before the summit of written's highest peak | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
is covered with snow and that will bring hundreds of thousands of | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
enthusiasts out for winter mountaineering. So the mountain | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
rescue teams are gearing up for a busy time ahead after last year, | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
which saw them responding to more busy time ahead after last year, | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
than 600 callouts. This search and rescue dog is put | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
through her paces. It is training exercises like this that the new | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
sponsorship deal will help to pay for. We had to sustain. I am pleased | :14:54. | :15:08. | |
to be working with a good Scottish family business. They understood the | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
culture of Scottish mountain rescue. They can help with training. They | :15:14. | :15:25. | |
can help with things like equipment. Eight people died in avalanches in | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
the mountains of Scotland last winter. Training is becoming more | :15:27. | :15:38. | |
technical and specialised. It was the second avalanche of the day. | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
They were with us very quickly. If they had not been I would not be | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
standing here today. Some might question mountain rescue teams being | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
sponsored by a commercial drinks firm, . You might have a son and | :15:54. | :16:09. | |
daughter or a friend who likes to go into the hills and they might save | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
your life. There are busier days ahead for the | :16:19. | :16:27. | |
19 rescue teams. They are proud of their volunteer | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
status that are increasingly professional in their organisation. | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
That costs money. While today's commercial sponsorship may be the | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
first it will not be the last. Bus firm Stagecoach Bluebird says | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
Hensel budget caps means it is ending some services in Moray. The | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
company has been getting £300,000 per year. That money has now been | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
capped. A number of journeys will be with God. | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
Scottish researchers are building a 3-D map of the past. Here is our | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
science correspondent. You can see a lot from that here. If | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
only we could see beneath the vegetation we would be able to learn | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
much more. Maybe we can. For thousands of years people have lived | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
and left their marks year on the surface of Scotland. In order to be | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
able to see them better than ever before you need to shine a special | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
kind of liked. It is like radar. It uses a radar | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
kind of liked. instead of radio waves. The liked | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
that bounces back is stored and analysed. This gives a review of | :17:40. | :17:49. | |
Scotland and like any seen before. Once it is in the software we can | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
rotate the data itself. We can move it around and look at it from | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
different angles. We can accentuate some of the topographic features. We | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
can pull out things like archaeological features. This image | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
is showing you knew all the thick earrings. | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
This technology has been around for 50 years. Using it in archaeology is | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
a new departure. Revolutionary as an overused word. But this is similar | :18:23. | :18:34. | |
to how a real photography might have been regarded 100 years ago. | :18:34. | :18:45. | |
We are probably seeing 4000 years worth of superimposed activity. | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
People have been living, farming, ironing, Barry and people in this | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
landscape. This does not mean the end of traditional trench | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
archaeology. It is one of those things that we will look back on in | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
20 years time and wonder how we ever managed without it. Just in case you | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
were worrying the laser is not dangerous. It is perfectly safe to | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
look up while the laser is looking down at you. | :19:19. | :19:28. | |
Now the sports news. Did he or did he not deserve a red | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
card? Make your own minds up. The ordering off of Scott Brown in | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Celtic's champions league defeat by Barcelona proves to be the turning | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
point of the match. He was sent off for aiming a kick at Brazilian | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
striker Neymar. Scott Brown admits he made a mistake but says the red | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
card was harsh. He will miss the next game against Ajax. | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
There was the usual big-game atmosphere but it took until the | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
second half before we got the big game changer. What appeared to be a | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
simple foul by Scott Brown on Neymar, on closer inspection was a | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
petulant kick that bit Celtic down to ten men. I justified sending off | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
Richard Mark I did not think the initial tackle was a severe one. It | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
was a physical game. I do not think Neymar did himself any favours. The | :20:20. | :20:29. | |
sending-off is unnecessary. Naming the Scotland squad today for the | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
upcoming match against Croatia at the national boss had nothing but | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
praise for the player. I have got a great captain and a | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
great player. His career has come on meats and bounds in the last three | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
years. Despite the sending-off Celtic had | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
their chances. This header was agonisingly wide. | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
There was a cruel inevitability about the goal when it came. | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
Celtic are rock bottom of the group. Next up a double-header | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
against Ajax. Games they must take points from two have any hope of | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
progression. Scott Brown is in the Scotland squad | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
for the last match in the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign against | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
Alicia. Ikechi Anya who made his first start against Macedonia last | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
month keeps his place. Hull City goalkeeper Allan McGregor returns. | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
There are full details of the 24 man squad on our website. | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
The man in charge of the Scottish Rugby union says a threatened | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
breakaway by English and French clubs poses a great threat to the | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
sport in this country. But the SRU chief executive also thinks a | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
solution can be found. The issue overshadowed and events today to | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
promote the existing Heineken Cup. Our rugby reporter was there. | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
The stirring music gives you an idea of how big this moment is. One of | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
the highlights of the European Rugby character. The launch of the | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
Heineken Cup. But this feels like a week. | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
That is because the Heineken Cup in its present form is under threat. | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
Endless clubs and French clubs are threatening to break away. Bad news | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
for Scottish rugby. It is damaging from a financial | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
perspective. It is damaging for the supporters. They expect European | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
competition. And the players want to play on the biggest stage possible. | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
The Heineken Cup offers that opportunity. Those that run the | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
Heineken Cup say they are still confident and solution can be found. | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
We are only 15 months into a two-year negotiation. There is still | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
time. We need to focus. I will travel anywhere in Europe, anywhere | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
in the world to make that happen. I will sit around the table to make | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
sure we get a solution. Mark Dodson may have two. European financial and | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
the financial health of Scottish rugby is at stake. | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
But in's male curlers have endured nearly 90 years of Olympic hurt. | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
They have not won a medal since 1924. But David Murdoch might be the | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
man to enter disappointing run. His rink took bronze in the World | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
Championships. They have been confirmed as Team GB's | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
representatives at the Winter Olympics and Russia in February. | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
That is it for tonight. Thank you. Now it is time to see how the | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
weather is looking. Now it is time to see how the | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
Something we have not seen for some time. I'll wet and windy spell over | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
the next 36 hours. -- it will be a wet and windy spell over the next 30 | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
six hours. Southwest Scotland, Lanarkshire, | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
Argyll, Stirling, birth, will all be feeling that rain. Heavy bursts | :24:20. | :24:29. | |
particularly over higher ground. The rain continues to journey North East | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
during the course of this evening. Lighter across more northerly parts. | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
Temperatures staying on the mild side. A dull, wet and windy start to | :24:39. | :24:47. | |
Temperatures staying on the mild the day tomorrow. There will be | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
further heavy rain matching across the country during the morning. The | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
main rain will be in central parts of the country. In the afternoon we | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
will look at heavy rain across Galilee. -- Galloway. We should see | :25:00. | :25:27. | |
some giro weather along Moray. Heavier pulses of rain. -- some | :25:27. | :25:40. | |
dryer weather. Another pulse of heavy rain crosses | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
the country tomorrow night. Friday is a much better day. A lot of dry | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
weather in the forecast. High pressure starts to establish itself | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
in time for the weekend. Thank you. Now a reminder of the | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
main stories. Hundreds of patients in the West of | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
Scotland have had their appointments and procedures postponed due to a | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
failure in the computer network. David Cameron has told the Tory | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
conference in Manchester that those under 25 could lose their automatic | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
entitlement to benefits. The Scottish leader, Ruth Davidson, | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
urged the rest of the UK to speak up for the union. | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
And there are plans to close at two and a quarter of the police front | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
desks | :26:32. | :26:32. |
