as well. More on all of that on the from the BBC's News at | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
Tonight on Reporting Scotland: ALL nine victims of the Clutha | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
helicopter crash have now been named and their bodies have been released | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
to their families. Relatives of some of those who lost lives were amonst | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
those to come to the scene again today as people continue to want to | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
show their respect by laying floral tributes. | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
I had to do something. I couldn't just let it pass unnoticed. So I | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
felt driven to do it. The wreckage of the helicopter | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
arrives at Farnborough, where accident experts will begin to | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
examine it for clues as to what caused the crash. Also tonight: Good | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
marks in English and maths, but could do better in science. And the | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
diggers moving as Hampden begins its transformation from a national | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
football stadium to an international athletics areana. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Good evening. The bodies of all nine people killed in the Glasgow | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
helicopter tragedy are being released to their families. Six | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
people in the Clutha died along with three others inside the Police | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Scotland aircraft when it smashed through the roof of the pub on | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
Friday night. Tonight, eleven people are still being treated in hospitals | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
across the cities, three of them in intensive care. Within the past | :01:39. | :01:48. | |
half-hour, the helicopter has arrived at Farnborough. As the | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
investigation into what went so catastrophically wrong continues, a | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
special fund's been launched to help families and survivors. Tributes | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
have been paid to those killed, the injured and their rescuers by | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
ordinary Glaswegians, politicians and the city's own Billy Connolly. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
In a moment we'll hear from our reporters near to the crash site and | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
at the Glasgow helipad, but first here's our home affairs | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
correspondent, Reevel Alderson. The Clutha Vaults is now being | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
surveyed by Glasgow City Council to make it safe. It was full last | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Friday night. Nine people died when the police helicopter crashed into | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
the roof. The final four victims have now been named. They were | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Robert Jenkins from East Kilbride, Colin Gibson from air, Mark O pray | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
from East Kilbride and John McGarrigle from Cumbernauld. Another | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
five people, including the three on board the helicopter, have also | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
died. Fire crews have confirmed there were no further fatalities. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
With the removal of the helicopter to be examined by investigators, the | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
focus in Glasgow has returned to those killed and injured in the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
accident. One of those treated in hospital for minor injuries was Ian | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Kelly who had been standing by the door with a friend when the | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
helicopter crashed into the roof. I remember the blast, the tremendous | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
noise. And then we were on the ground. There was no sensation of | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
actually moving. There must have been a tremendous force, but I | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
wasn't aware of it. I just found myself outside on the ground. The | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
pub is busy on a Friday night. Last week it was packed, and Mario | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
couldn't sit in his usual seat, directly underneath where the | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
aircraft impacted. He was knocked to the ground, injuring his hand and | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
head. It doesn't go away. I just know how lucky I am to be able to | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
talk to you guys and talk to people that I care about. If I had been sat | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
in my usual spot, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Because | :03:59. | :04:08. | |
nobody in that bit has... Both men are grateful for the prompt | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
and efficient actions of the emergency services. I know that they | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
train for these circumstances, but to be actually faced with it, it was | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
all very controlled, very supportive. Now that the rescue | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
phase is over, the investigation is under way, and survivors and | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
bereaved relatives have one question. How did it happen? | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
We can cross now to Aileen Clarke who is near the crash site for us. | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
Work continues on the crash site tonight, work to make the building | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
safe for investigators to continue their work to try to gather any clue | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
they can as to why the helicopter fell out of the sky. But today has | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
been a day of people paying personal tributes to those who died. Constant | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
streams of people coming to lay flowers, and I think it has taken a | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
few days for the enormity of what has happened here to really sink in, | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
because today I have seen more flowers laid than in all the days up | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
to this point, so many that if you come with me here, you will see that | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
they have been moved to just stand by the river here, and that is where | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
they will remain. And when the road opens outside the pub, the tributes | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
can stay. Even tonight, on a terrible night of rain like this, | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
people are still coming and still laying flowers and paying their | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
respects. This morning, the family of Robert | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Jenkins came to lay their flowers. He was named last night as one of | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
those who died. They spent a few moments reading the messages of | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
comfort and support left by hundreds of ordinary people moved by this | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
extraordinary tragedy. Others who came bearing flowers also bought | :06:03. | :06:11. | |
heavy hearts for friends lost. He was a lovely boy. One of life's | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
best. Also bringing tributes today, the Deputy Prime Minister and | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Scottish Secretary. Music was always on offer at the Clutha pub, | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
reflected in the tributes. And by Billy Connolly who himself played | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
there, he came to express his respects. I feel the same as | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
everyone else, it is not quite the same as it was yesterday. It is an | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
extraordinary affair. And I had to do something. I couldn't just let it | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
pass unnoticed. So I thought driven to do it. As the rescue and then | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
recovery operation unfolded, throughout, the bright light of the | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
city's Central Mosque lit up the sky line just beyond. We are here to | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
share our grief with all the families and victims and those | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
injured. We offer our services and open our doors at the mosque for | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
those who want to come. For many reasons and none, people have felt | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
the need to come here. I just wanted to come to show my respects. I just | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
wanted to pay my respects, and that is about it. That is all you can do. | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
It wasn't just hear that tributes were being paid. Over at Holyrood | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
today in the Scottish Parliament, party leaders paid their own | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
tributes. And much was made of the particular spirit of this city. | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
Brian Taylor reports. Acting for us all, Holyrood's | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
presiding officer signed the book of condolence in Parliament. She made | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
tribute to the courage of the emergency services. And it was | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
announced that the Scottish government will match the funding | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
from Glasgow City Council to help the affected families. But this was | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
about sympathy and solidarity, not just material support. It is the | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
people of Glasgow who will be the way, just as they did on Friday | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
night. It was a black day for Glasgow and for Scotland, but we can | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
take heart in the exemplar response of our emergency services. We have | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
all been inspired by the response of Glaswegians to come to the aid of | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
fellow Glaswegians. Friday night was a night when the frail state of | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
humanity shocked us, and made us humble, even proud. Nobody knows how | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
they will react when faced with such an unimaginable scene. In Scotland, | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
we pulled together. In the saddest of situations, we have seen the very | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
best of the people of Glasgow. Courage, compassion, character. We | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
will be all the more aware of our vulnerability and how much we value | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
one another. There will be questions, but later. For now, MSPs | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
lined up to pay tribute, united in sympathy. | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
And of course we must remember tonight at 11 people remain in | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
hospital, three of them in intensive care. If you just look over this | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
shoulder, you can see that work is continuing on this building. The | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
investigators have still been there today. They may be near for a great | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
many days, trying to find the answers to what happened here, and | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
there are a great many families who are very keen to know the truth of | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
just why that helicopter crashed into that pub last Friday night. | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
Aileen Clarke, many thanks. The helicopter is now with crash | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
investigators, but it was based at the Glasgow City Heliport on the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
banks of the Clyde, and our reporter Willie Johnston is there for us now. | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
Willie. The heliport here on the Clyde, just | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
two miles down the River Clyde from the Clutha pub. The crew, now | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
commemorated by these floral tributes, that close to safety. Also | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
based here at the heliport, another Eurocopter EC 135 identical to the | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
one that crashed, this one operated by the Scottish Ambulance Service. | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
After a brief grounding at the weekend, it's been back in the skies | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
over Glasgow today. We have also learned that Police Scotland have | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
not been without air cover, because back-up has been on offer from | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
colleagues in England. But when will they get their own craft back? And | :10:59. | :11:17. | |
air services -- Well, their helicopter was operated under | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
contract by Bond Air Services, and the police authority has said they | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
will require Bond to replace it, although they haven't yet said when | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
that will happen. Confidence is clearly an issue, and police | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
officers will expect to be reassured that the replacement craft provided | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
is safe fit for purpose. However, we know that Eurocopter have found no | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
reason so far to order this model of helicopter to be grounded. We also | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
understand that a meeting between Bond and their emergency service | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
clients is expected to be held tomorrow. | :11:44. | :11:44. | |
Serve what happens next with the investigation? | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
Well, , the wreckage of the helicopter left Glasgow yesterday | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
afternoon and arrived just a short time ago at the headquarters of the | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Air Accident Investigation Branch at Farnborough in the south of England | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
where it will undergo detailed examination. The full report will | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
take some considerable time to prepare, but an interim bulletin | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
could and will be issued much earlier, perhaps within days, if any | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
more immediate issues are identified. It is worth pointing out | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
that the air accident investigation Branch can only determine "cause" | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
and not anthing to do with "liability". For that, the | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
Procurator Fiscal service in Glasgow will lead its own investigation to | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
determine if a fatal accident inquiry should be held, or indeed if | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
anyone should face criminal charges in connection with the crash. | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
Billy Johnson, many thanks. You're watching Reporting Scotland from the | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
BBC. Still to come on the programme: The epic and extraordinary story of | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
the British Army officer from Edinburgh sent to a prisoner of war | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
camp in Japan, as portrayed by Colin Firth. | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
In sport, Inverness Caley Thistle will reveal their new manager in the | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
morning. But we'll name the man in charge tonight. | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
And getting ready for athletes to experience the Hampden roar. The | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
transformation of the national stadium begins from football to | :12:56. | :12:56. | |
track and field. Police ranks have united behind | :12:57. | :13:06. | |
proposals to abolish corroboration in what appears to be a significant | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
change in position. Both the Scottish Police Federation and the | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
Association of Police Superintendents had previously | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
expressed concern about losing the centuries-old requirement for two | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
corroborating pieces of evidence to prove guilt. But both now support | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
abolishing the need for corroboration, which is seen as a | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
marked shift in position by Holyrood's Justice Committee. | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
People in central Scotland are more likely to die from alcohol-related | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
causes than those in comparable parts of northern England, according | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
to a study for for NHS Health Scotland and the Glasgow Centre for | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Population Health. It suggests sales of alcohol per person were 13% | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
higher in Central Scotland than in north-east England and deaths were | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
67% higher than in the north-west of England. | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
Scottish teenagers are better at English and maths than teenagers in | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
the rest of Britain. That's the message from a big international | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
survey out today. But they're not quite as good at science. And | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
there's concern too that some of our international rivals are doing far | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
better. Here's our education correspondent Jamie McIvor. | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
Many different elements make up the world's education systems. This | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
survey of half a million 15-year-olds tries to let us compare | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
how well different countries are doing. The report tells of Scotland | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
is doing roughly as well as the rest of Britain. In fact, we are top when | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
it comes to England in maths, but behind on science. But at this | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
school, they are punching above their weight in science. They have | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
had some innovative ideas, like special mentals. We have people who | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
have mostly retired from their various positions in life, a lot of | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
them graduates from universities who have also worked in various | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
industries. It enables them to close that gap between aspirations, saying | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
I want to study science, and this is how you go about it. This school is | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
in a deprived part of Glasgow, and the Government says that today's | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
report shows it is making progress in helping pupils in less well-off | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
areas. To bring up attainment for everybody, we have to bring up | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
standards, and this is showing that gap beginning to close. But how are | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
we doing internationally? Scotland is included with the rest of the UK | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
in world rankings, and Britain doesn't make the top 20 in any | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
subject. Far east countries do particularly well. I think we need | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
to be careful about assuming that what other countries are doing is | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
something that we can necessarily replicate. I don't think there is a | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
menu or recipe that you can take, because the context for the | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
education system is very difficult. Indeed, research like this is always | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
open to a degree of interpretation, by politicians as well as officials. | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
Newsnight Scotland will be taking up that story in more detail tonight. | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
You can tune in at 11 o'clock on BBC Two for analysis and discussion. Now | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
for some other stories from across Scotland this Tuesday. | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Bank account holders at RBS say they are still experiencing problems | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
following last night's IT fault which left an estimated 750,000 | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
people unable to use their credit and debit cards. Some like Jennifer | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
say recent deposits have disappeared. | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
It's worse today. I managed to get back into the online this morning | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
but all the ongoing transactions have disappeared so I now have no | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
money so yes, worse. I can use my card but I can't use it because | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
there's no money there. Members of the EIS join staff from | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
other unions in strike action. It's over a 1% pay offer for lecturers | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
and admin staff. University bosses claim most staff do not support the | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
action. Detect is are investigating the | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
theft of a quarter of a million pounds worth of vodka and other | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
spirits on the outskirts of Dumfries. The haul was taken from an | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
industrial estate. The board of NHS Highland has | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
approved plans to set up an action team to combat an increase in | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
hospital soup beingcations -- super bug cases. It's failed to reach | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
targets on C c.difficile. We have low levels in this board. People | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
should not be worried when they come into hospital. We doing everything | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
that we can to reduce infection and to ensure that people don't get | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
infections. The other thing is, a lot of the infections we are | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
currently seeing are in the community, rather than in the | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
hospitals. Galashiels has been upgraded to a | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
category A listing meaning that historic Scotland regard the | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
structure as being of national importance. | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
There are more stories from your area and the latest News 24 hours a | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
day on BBC Scotland's website. A new film based on an extraordinary | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
true story gets its UK premier tomorrow. Colin Firth starts in the | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
Railway Man as a scotch prisoner of war who was one of thousands forced | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
to build the Thai Burma railway in the war. Spurred on by his wife, he | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
not only met his captors, but forgave them. | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
Eric was just 21 when he was captured by the Japanese and, like | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
thousands of POWs, forced to build the infamous Thai Burma railway. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Tortured by the captors for building a radio receiver to boost morale, he | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
returned home a broken man. I've never been to the Highlands | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
before. Very romantic. The railway man based on his memoir, tells how | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
this gentle rail enthusiast eventually tackled his fears, | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
spurred on by his wife. He not only confronted his captors but federal | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
gave them. Huge joy on a massive scale and an amazing subject which | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
is, you know, forgiveness and that you can be happy after the worst | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
things that life can throw at you -- forgave them. Meeting Eric himself, | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
the most charming, dapper, twinically man you can ever meet. He | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
became a role model forme. -- twinkly man. Eric died last year and | :19:59. | :20:09. | |
his widow says he'd be proud of the film and he said that the hating had | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
to stop. He said that to me and I wondered if we were being disloyal | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
to these young men whose graves were in front of us and voiced that query | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
to Eric. He just thought and he said, Patty, some time the hating | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
has to stop. That sums up him. Time for a look at the sports news | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
now. Thank you very much. Good evening. | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
Work has begun on the national football stadium's ?27 million | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
Commonwealth Games make-over. Hampden's being transformed from a | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
football venue to an athletics arena for sum summer's see vent in | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
Glasgow. Jane Lewis has been hearing why this special Hampden roar is | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
likely to remain. As a football stadium, Hampden has | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
seen it all. Record breaking crowds in days gone by and in more recent | :21:09. | :21:18. | |
time times, some famous victories. But the diggers have already moved | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
in and work is well under way, as this stadium undergoes a massive | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
transformation from football stadium to athletics arena. The length and | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
width of the playing area is not large enough for an international | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
standard athletics track. We need to build up, remove the top surface of | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
the pitch so we can build a platform 1.9 metres above this existing pitch | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
level so above our heads. After the pioneering construction work, this | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
is how Hampden will look, almost unrecognisable. But those who'll be | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
competing there believe one thing will remain. | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
Will it feel like the Hampden that I know, a completely different | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
stadium? I suppose I won't know until I'm there, but I think the | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
atmosphere will be as great as it's been at football matches as well. | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
That's it on its way. Soon there'll be a track. One minute there's | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
grass, the next minute there'll be a track. The new look Hampden and | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
surrounding area should be ready in May at a total cost of ?27 million, | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
and come July, a unique athletics experience will be on offer to some | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
of the world's top athletes. Inverness Caledonian Thistle will | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
announce John Hughes as new manager in the morning. The current Alloa | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
boss, Paul Hartley and the former Kilmarnock manager were ruled out | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
today, leaving the way clear for the former Livingstone Hibernian and | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
Falkirk manager to take over. Hughes went to Hartlepool and was sacked in | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
May after Fawing to keep the club in English League One. Now a look at | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
what else is happening across Scottish sport. | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
-- failing to keep the club in English league. John Higgins says | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
his form is soul destroying but he's still in the competition and he | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
meets Steven Maguire for a place in the quarter-finals. Glasgow Warriors | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
head to Wales on European duty this week. Back-to-back matches against | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
Cardiff Blues could go a long way to deciding whether the Warriors can | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
fight through to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
It's massive for us. We have got such a good opportunity of achieving | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
that. That's why this weekend's game is so important, especially the | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
back-to-back games against Cardiff. Greg Rutherford is the latest name | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
to confirm he'll take part in the GB athletics international at the | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
Emirates in Glasgow. There are more sports stories, plus | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
the latest News 24 hours a day on BBC Sport Scotland's website. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
And that is all of the sport for tonight. | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
Thank you very much. Time for the weather now. | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
Hi, Judith. Good evening to you. Some rather | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
tempestuous weather on its way during tomorrow night and into | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
Thursday. In the meantime, we still have cloud in this weather front. It | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
will continue to sink south, taking away the cloud and rain behind it. | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
Drier, clearer conditions following on, colder too. A few showers in the | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
north but where we see damp ground or wet ground after the rain today, | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
there'll be an ice risk and frost in places too as temperatures fall to | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
around freezing. Keeping a brisk wind in the north | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
bringing the showers in. Tomorrow is cold, bright with an ice risk, but a | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
much different day with a lot of sunshine in the forecast. | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
Showers in the north in the course of the day. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
In the afternoon, frequent showers in the Northern Isles and northern | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
Scotland, turning to snow over higher ground with a colder feel to | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
the day all together. Plenty of sunshine through the | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
central lowlands and southern Scotland. A much different day to | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
what we saw today. As we head into the evenings, we see | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
the change. The winds strengthen. The reason for | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
this is, we have this low pressure to the forth of us and it will trek | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
across Scotland. The tight isobars here mean severe gales and stormy | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
conditions for Wednesday night into Thursday. The Met Office have a | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
yellow warning. It's an early warning for severe gales the length | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
and breadth of the country for Thursday morning, so a treacherous | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
rush hour. Gusts of 80 potentially in the | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
north. Not only that to contend with, but the driving rain. It's | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
short-lived. The rain pulls away. Then we turn our atension snow with | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
cold air plunging towards us. It becomes drier in the south. The | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
winds ease down a little but it's going to be a much colder day for | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
everyone. Thank you very much. A reminder of | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
the main news: The bodies of all nine people killed | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
in the Glasgow helicopter tragedy are being released to their | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
families. Six people in the Clutha died, along with three others inside | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
the police aircraft when it smashed through the roof of the pub on | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
Friday. Tonight, 11 people are still being treated in hospitals across | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
the city. Three of them are in intensive care. | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
Within the past half hour, the wreckage of the helicopter arrived | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
at Farnborough Airport in Hampshire. It will be examined by the air Air | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
Accident Investigation Branch who're based there for clues to the cause | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
of the crash. And the investigation into what went | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
wrong continues. A special fund has been launched to help families and | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
survivors. Tributes have been paid to the killed, the victims and | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
injured by politicians and the city's own Billy Connolly. British | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
school children are falling behind their global rivals including to an | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
international league table released today. Scotland is doing better in | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
English and maths than other parts of the UK. Pupils were tested on the | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
maths, reading and science. That is all from Reporting Scotland | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
for the moment. I'll be back with they hadlines -- the headlines at 8 | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
and the late bulletin just after the 10 o'clock news. Good night. | :27:42. | :27:44. |
