Tonight on Reporting Scotland... A fatal accident inquiry into the | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
deaths of these 16 men hears how their helicopter dropped like a | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
torpedo into the North Sea. Was it avoidable? We need to know why our | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
boys went out and never came back. Also on the programme... | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
The Yes campaign calls on unionist supporters to set out their detailed | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
vision for beyond this autumn's independence referendum. | :00:45. | :00:45. | |
CSI Strathclyde, a Scottish university launches a new forensic | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
science course, based on a Loch Lomond murder mystery. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
And all dressed up, but nowhere to go. Celtic's players are left in | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
limbo, after their flight to the Turkish Cup is cancelled. | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
A helicopter "fell like a torpedo into the sea" - the description of | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
an eyewitness on the first day of a fatal accident inquiry into the | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
deaths of 16 men. They perished when their Super Puma came down off | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
Peterhead nearly five years ago, on its way back from a North Sea oil | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
platform. Families of those who died are angry that it has taken so long | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
for the inquiry to get underway and that the Crown Office has already | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
ruled out any prosecutions. Over four years in nine months after the | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
crash of the Super Puma, the families of the deceased arrived for | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
the fatal accident enquiry. He was very family-oriented. He loved | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
football. He went with his dad everywhere. We dearly miss him. All | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
on board the helicopter died when it crashed into the sea outside of | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Peterhead. There was a catastrophic gearbox failure. A fault had been | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
found days before the crash but had not been repaired. The enquiry | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
started with details of the postmortem examinations on the 16th | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
thick Thames. It said none of them would have survived the impact of | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
the helicopter crashed from around 1,500 feet. Testimony from the crew | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
men aboard a vessel which witnessed the crash. He said the helicopter | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
feel wakey torpedo. The rotor blades had been completely separated from | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
the aircraft over time it hit the sea. The Crown Prosecution Service | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
had said there is not any evidence for prosecution. We need to know | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
what happened that day. Was it avoidable? We need to know why our | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
boys went out and never came back. We are seeking answers. Was there | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
something with the helicopter that was not picked up? We need the | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
answer is. We have been requested them and been denied because it is | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
not supposedly in the public interest. Almost five years on, the | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
families hope this six-week fatal accident enquiry will shed some | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
light on what went wrong. Nicola Sturgeon has challenged her | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Unionist opponents "to be honest" about the consequences of voting no | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
to independence. Speaking at St Andrews University, the Deputy First | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
Minister claimed Scotland could be landed with welfare benefit cuts and | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
exclusion from the European Union if independence is rejected and the | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
Conservatives win the next UK General Election. But critics say | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
she is dodging problems confronting her own campaign. Let us go to our | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
political editor Brian Taylor. A new year and a sense that the Yes | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
campaign is trying to open a new front? Yes, context matters in | :04:06. | :04:15. | |
politics. Of course, the independence referendum is this | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
year, but there are other political happenings on the horizon, such as | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
the general election next year. The Chancellor has said that if the | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Conservatives returned to power, they will have to bring in 12 | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
billion cups from wealthier. He is making their challenge in the | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
context of seeing to it as rivals, his Labour Party and the Liberal | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
Democrats, what would you do in respect of that coming back? But has | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
been said that these cuts could not be prevented. She is saying they | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
could be prevented by a different course, such as independents. She | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
had other questions about those who advocate voting no. She talked about | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
possible new powers for the Scottish Parliament. What would they be? She | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
also referred to the Barnet Formula, the formula with which | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Scottish expenditure is worked out. She says there could be cut. The | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
government is saying that is not on the agenda. Then there is the | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
question of the European Union. She said other nationalists have faced | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
many other challenges and they said, what if there was a referendum on | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Britain's membership of the European Union by 2016. It was all points | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
that she was trying to put here, was to try to place in the context of | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
the referendum and of Labour voters in Scotland. She was saying to them, | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
in essence, if you want a Scotland where conservatives control your | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
lives, then vote no in the independence referendum. We have to | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
be honest that if we remain part of the Westminster system, it will not | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
be our votes which determine these matters, but votes elsewhere in the | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
United Kingdom. The inconvenient truths facing the no campaign cannot | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
be allowed to stay and in the way of the Scottish people making a | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
genuinely informed choice. The White Paper is now out there for people to | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
read, scrutinising judge and we need the same clarity from the other side | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
so the debate can be taken out the hands of politicians like me and | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
firmly where it belongs, in the hands of the Scottish people. It is | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
the Scottish people who will decide in the referendum concept member of | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
the 18. Our opponents say her claims are bogus. BC the structure of the | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
United Kingdom is clear, established and well known and they say the | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
difficulties lie with the offering of independence. People do have an | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
understanding of how the European Union works. Just take a look at the | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
currency. Simply asserting that certain currency arrangements will | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
come about. People here know that the pound in our pocket is what we | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
use. We do not need to be told that the British pound is our currency, | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
but we need some certainty about what our country would be after | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
independence, so that people know what currency in which they would be | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
paid and what impact that would have on their lives. Tomorrow, there is a | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
debate about childcare. Opponents say they could get on with these | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
measures known to improve childcare. The Scottish National party say they | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
need full control of taxation for them to be able to do that. A big | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
debate coming up tomorrow. And you can see more on that on | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
Newsnight Scotland over on BBC Two Scotland tonight from eleven | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
o'clock. You are watching Reporting Scotland | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on the programme, you thought the festive | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
season was over? Actually, tomorrow is Christmas Day! Confused? Stay | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
tuned. In sport, a late postponement leaves | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Celtic feet firmly on the ground and their plans up in the air. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
And the girl in the picture, with success at Glasgow 2014 the main | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
focus. All the sport is coming soon. Can you solve the murder by the | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
loch? You have six weeks to do it while learning about forensic | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
science. It is both a murder mystery and an online course from | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
Strathclyde University. Our science correspondent Kenneth MacDonald has | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
been working the crime scene. There has been a murder on the banks of | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Loch Lomond and Strathclyde University want you to track the | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
close. It is a subject which captures the imagination. What we | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
wanted to do was provide a means whereby there was a real story for | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
real forensic science to be applied. The course is free and available for | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
anyone with internet access. I do not want to give too much away, the | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
real case which some of our staff were involved in, it picks up | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
different aspects of forensic science. It uses the likes of DNA, | :09:54. | :10:03. | |
drug analysis and how that type of forensic work can bring something to | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
an investigation. With this introduction, Strathclyde University | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
has become the latest to open online courses. While you work on the kind | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
seen, the Strathclyde University will be working on the programme as | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
well. It is all about teaching students online very diverse and | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
despite different courses. None of us know whether this is going, but | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
we are and entrepreneurial University and we want to be | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
proactive, rather than sitting back and saying, what is happening here. | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
And what about the twist? There are twists. In this particular story, we | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
will invite the participants to you major debate about different aspects | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
of the scene as the scene unfolds, based on their participation. It | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
will take you just three hours a week, just for six weeks, if you | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
want to solve the murder ideal lock. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Scotland's largest teaching union is claiming teachers need more support | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
with the new qualifications for fourth-year students. A survey of | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
EIS members suggested many teachers are angry and worried about their | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
workload, but the Exams Agency says teachers are getting unprecedented | :11:32. | :11:42. | |
support. There is literally a view weeks until we are in the diet of | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
exams. Teachers are feeling the pressure because of internal | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
assessments. It is concerned that we will not be able to deliver these | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
and that the pupils will be disadvantaged. We will continue to | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
work with teachers, with schools and local authorities to listen to their | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
concerns and see where we need to offer additional support to help | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
teachers address some of the concerns. | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
Our education correspondent Jamie McIvor joins me now. This is a huge | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
change that is taking place for fourth-years, isn't it? | :12:20. | :12:30. | |
This is a huge change that is underway in fourth year. Different. | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
Yes, these are the new qualifications that are replacing | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
Standard Grades, the national 4s and 5s.There are some big differences. | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
The courses only last one year, instead of two and the things that | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
are being taught on some courses are different. And with the National 4s, | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
which are the less academically advanced, the equivalent of a | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
general in a standard grade, there is no final exam. Teachers do all | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
the assessment. And here are just some of the | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
comments teachers have made. Poor quality materials for English | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
lessons. Too much bureaucracy for physics | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
teachers. Utterly unmanageable workload for a | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
modern languages teacher. How worried should parents be about | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
the union's warning? Well, even the EIS is at pains to | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
say they do not want to cause parents alarm. They are making the | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
point that they are confident their members will do everything they can | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
to make the new qualifications a success. | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
And there is no suggestion whatsoever of the new qualifications | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
or exams being delayed. This is really a question of workload and | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
support for teachers. It is maybe worth noting that sample exam papers | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
are now available, to help give those students who have exams in | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
April and May an idea what to expect. | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
A kirk minister who said being gay was an abomination and a disorder | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
has been told he'll no longer be a chaplain at the Gaelic school in | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
Glasgow. Donald Macinnes made the remarks on Facebook. The | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
headteacher's decision followed complaints by parents. Glasgow City | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
Council says he's entitled to his views but that they aren't in | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
keeping with the school's ethos. The impact of a predicted tidal | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
surge this afternoon appears to have been less than feared. Coastal | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
communities along the west and south coasts had braced themselves for a | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
repeat of the battering they faced on Friday. There was some limited | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
flooding, such as here at Kingholm Quay, near Dumfries, but high water | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
peaked around two feet lower than last week. | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
Other stories from across Scotland this Monday. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
Rescuers say a hill walker who plunged more than 800 feet down a | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
cliff near Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms is lucky to be alive. The | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
25-year-old man, from England, who was airlifted to hospital, is said | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
to be in a serious condition in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
Police are appealing for witnesses following the theft of two diamond | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
engagement rings worth more than ?20,000 from a jewellery shop in | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
Edinburgh. They were stolen on Saturday from the Robert Anthony | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
store in Rose Street. 2013 was the worst year in living | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
memory for anglers on the River Spey, according to new figures. | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
There was a 23% fall in the salmon catch compared to 2012 which was | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
also described as a disappointing year. | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
More than 700 homes in Scotland are still watching TV in black and | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
white, almost 50 years after colour transmissions began. TV Licensing | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
says 710 black and white only licences are in use. | :15:21. | :15:36. | |
Some people are quite happy with the black and white set and some do it | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
for reasons of nostalgia and some people do not like throwing things | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
away! Work has started on the upgrading of | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
Ullapool pier to cope with a new, larger, ferry that Calmac is to use | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
on the route from there to Stornoway. The ?42 million ship, | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
being built in Germany, is due to be launched in February. | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
A trailer containing a funfair ride has been stolen from near a service | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
station in Fife. The roundabout, with horses, dolphins, a bus, and a | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
fire engine, was parked on a service road at Halbeath. It was taken some | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
time between Hogmanay evening and Friday afternoon. | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
And there are more stories from your area and all the latest news, on BBC | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
Scotland's website. The Festive Season may be over, but | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
not for everyone. Some religions follow the Gregorian calendar when | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
Christmas falls tomorrow. They include Scotland's Ukrainian | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
population, many descended from former soldiers who came here as | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
prisoners of war and made the country their home. Willie Johnston | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
reports on how they're trying to keep old traditions alive. | :16:43. | :16:53. | |
Few buildings can be so different outside and in. On a former prisoner | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
of war camp near Lockerbie, a chapel created by Italian Catholics are | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
adopted by displaced Ukrainians of the Greek orthodox faith. Former | :17:08. | :17:17. | |
partisans fought both Germany and Russia in the hope of | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
re-establishing an independent Ukraine at the end of the war. When | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
that failed, going home would have made trial as traitors. Around 2000 | :17:26. | :17:35. | |
men like him came to Scotland as prisoners in 1947 DT and in camps | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
like this. This houses 474 Ukrainian men. When they were freed two years | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
later many meat got only adopted home taking jobs in farming and | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
forestry and marrying local girls. For 36 years, this man has looked | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
after the chapel where monthly services still take place. It means | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
a lot to me because I was christened and also married in the chapel. My | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
father was a prisoner of war and I vowed I would continue working. It | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
is because of what he represents and suffered during the war. Nowhere | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
else to go. Very few of the old partisans are still alive and that | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
is now up to their children and grandchildren to uphold the | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
traditions, but the language is being lost and secularisation | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
threatens the future of services like this. The chapel is a museum | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
and open to tourists but he says it will remain a living memorial for as | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
long as he believes. -- breathes. To sport now, and it's over to | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
Rhona. Good evening. As Neil Lennon continues his quest to strengthen | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
his squad, there's reassuring news from one national team manager who | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
reckons a Celtic summer signing will prove himself as a regular | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
goal-scorer. Our senior football reporter Alasdair Lamont reports on | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
a day when the Celtic squad was disappointed by a late postponement. | :19:14. | :19:23. | |
They put a brave face on it but the players who did turn up for the | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
flight to Pataki had to head home. They now hope to fly out tomorrow | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
for a friendly tournament. Georgios Samaras will not be there as Celtic | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
attempt to resolve his future. Kris Commons has been showing strikers | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
the way to go this season, adding another two yesterday as his manager | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
said they will definitely take up the option of an additional year on | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
his contract. It is not just for now, it is for the future, and we | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
want to add a bit of quality to the squad. We will do everything we can | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
to give some of the players are helping hand. That is not a phrase | :20:06. | :20:16. | |
we have heard too often but the Finnish player's national manager | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
thinks he will soon be giving the team more of the helping hand Neil | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
Lennon is looking for. He has got all the attributes to make it | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
happen. He scored goals for Fenland against top nations of the world and | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
he can score goals for Celtic, no question. Neither that nor Celtic's | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
continued unbeaten run will stop Neil Lennon from trying to add to | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
his squad again. Now, a look at some other football | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
stories and what else is happing across Scottish sport. | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
Hearts administrators have confirmed that talks with the Scottish | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
Football Association have been unsuccessful. They had hoped the SFA | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
would lift signing sanctions while they're in administration. | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
Former Hibs and Scotland striker Garry O'Connor has agreed to join | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Morton until the end of the season. International clearance has been | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
granted. O'Connor's last club was the Russian | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
side Tom Tomsk. Queen of the South have converted a | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
former supermarket next to Palmerston into an indoor training | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
centre. The Queen of the South Arena provides wet weather cover and a new | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
income stream. I cannot actually remember any club | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
in Scotland probably having as good a facility. The club is coming on in | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
leaps and bounds and hopefully it will also attract players. | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
Andy Murray is hoping to join the ranks of Becker and McEnroe by | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
lifting the Queens trophy for a fourth time. He's taking part once | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
again this year in the build-up to his Wimbledon defence. | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
And there are more sports stories, plus all the latest news, 24 hours a | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
day on BBC Sport Scotland's website. The poster girl for Team Scotland | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
cycling Katie Archibald admits that being called 'a really exciting | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
prospect,' keeps her awake at night. The praise comes from no less than | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
Sir Dave Brailsford, the director of British Cycling. Now with Glasgow | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
2014 less than 200 days away, the 19-year-old is determined to reach | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
the top of her sport. Our Commonwealth Games reporter Jane | :22:17. | :22:17. | |
Lewis has more. Over your left hand shoulder, | :22:18. | :22:45. | |
perfect. 18 Scotland photo shoot, proof that Katie Archibald has come | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
a long way especially as it was not her first love. I was a swimmer | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
originally. I just eventually realised I did not want to dodge | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
between cars but between other bikes! Her decision to switch sports | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
paid off and then just two years she has gone from promising teenager to | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
European champion. She is now part of the British cycling Academy and | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
is preparing for a massive year. This will be my first huge | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
international event with crowds watching and everybody on your back. | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
I will be in for the pursuit and hopefully I will get on the podium. | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
Chris Hoy knew all about podium finishes and he was her inspiration. | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
When I was younger I got the Chris Hoy rider award so I have had the | :23:43. | :23:52. | |
handshake. She will be even more thrilled to emulate her funeral's | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
achievements but in the short term, her focus is on Glasgow 2014. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
Here before we know it And that's it for tonight. ! | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
Let's get the weather now from Gillian. | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
It is going to get better this week. It will be dry or around midweek but | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
we not there yet and tonight they are still plenty of showers links to | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
this area of low pressure. Gusting winds driving the showers and the | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
most frequent ones will be over the Western Isles and the north-west | :24:27. | :24:37. | |
Highlands. The winds will be fresh too strong, strongest over the | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
Northern Isles and we will see S use with localised flooding. Amidst | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
that, it will be a mild night but tomorrow morning, still plenty of | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
showers around, heavy particularly in the West, but into the afternoon | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
the showers will ease the coming later and we will see dire weather | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
getting through and even some sunshine. -- dry weather. Showers | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
for Shetland and the north-west course than through the central belt | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
some brighter patches but showers across high ground. Still breezy | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
especially across the west coast but lighter winds than today. On the | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
hall, my old for this time of year. Through the rest of the afternoon, | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
signs of those showers reinvigorating for a time. Staying | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
quite breezy into tomorrow night. Into Wednesday, some real | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
improvement as this ridge of high pressure builds and it will be a | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
much drier day. Showers towards the West Coast but they will be few and | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
far between. A similar picture for Thursday, once again some showers in | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
the far north but a lot of dry weather across the country. Lighter | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
winds but turning chilly. Now, a reminder of tonight's main | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
news. An eye witness into the fatal accident inquiry into the crash of a | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
Super Puma helicopter said the aircraft fell like a torpedo into | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
the sea. All 16 men on board died in the accident off Peterhead almost | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
five years ago. The Chancellor George Osborne has | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
set out plans for another ?25 billion of spending cuts if the | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
Conservatives win the next election. Half the proposed savings would come | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
from the welfare budget. Meanwhile the deputy First Minister | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
Nicola Sturgeon has challenged her Unionist opponents to be honest | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
about the consequences of voting no to independence. She claimed | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
Scotland could be landed with welfare benefit cuts and EU | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
exclusion if independence is rejected. | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
Jimmy Savile's victims are calling for a single inquiry into how the TV | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
presenter managed to evade justice. Dozens of those who've reported | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
being abused by him say the current investigations - there are about 30 | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
of them - won't answer the key questions about the scandal. | :27:01. | :27:02. | |
And that's Reporting Scotland. I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm, | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
and the late bulletin just after the ten o'clock news. Until then, from | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
everyone on the team around the country, have a very good evening. | :27:12. | :27:13. |
