Tonight, on Reporting Scotland: The so called bedroom tax - more | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
pressure on politicians at Westminster and Holyrood from | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
campaigners. Clearing up after the mining | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
companies have cleared out - how one council dug a whole for itself and | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
its taxpayers. It's dubbed Scotland's deadliest | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
road by some - could average speed cameras be the answer to making the | :00:22. | :00:32. | |
A9 safer? It is impatient that causes a lot of problems. Everyone | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
needs to know where the jewel carriageways are. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
And also - brightening up the long dark winter. Shetland's spectacular | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Up Helly Aa fire festival gets underway. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
And a tall tale or a matter of fact - can dogs really tell the time? | :00:46. | :01:03. | |
Good Evening. The row over the so-called bedroom tax north of the | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
border is intensifying. It's emerged that a loophole in the legislation | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
means some long term council tenants shouldn't have had the housing | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
benefit removed, but it's unclear how many Scots tenants are affected. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
Meanwhile, campaigners want more money from Holyrood to tackle the | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
impact of the change. Steven Godden reports. | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
It is very name provokes argument but to Angela it is the bedroom | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
tax. Last April she was given a year-long reprieve but as the months | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
passed by, her anxiety increases. I do not like being in debt so I would | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
probably cut down my food bills. I cannot cut them down any more than I | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
have done. I will be really worse off. Hopefully I don't end up on the | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
street. She did not know it when fighting eviction but according to | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
an Earth legislation, living in the same house and claiming benefit for | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
more than 17 years were alternative grounds for exemption. Thousands | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
more were overcharged. Fewer than 5000 is. Others estimate 40,000 UK | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
wide. People need to make claims and councils need to check their records | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
which has not happened across all authorities. Somewhere in between | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
ten - 12,000 people. Scotland's Housing Minister met with her UK | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
counterpart. It is unclear what the numbers are in Scotland. We do not | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
know how many have been affected by this error and I am disappointed. As | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
ministers were preparing to meet, a Holyrood committee was taking | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
evidence on the bedroom tax. The Scottish government has pledged 20 | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
million a year to support those affected but campaigners argue that | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
figure must be higher. 50 million they are due to deal with an | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
emergency situation. I do not want to live in a society where the | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
poorest are forced to pay for politicians mistakes. Councils have | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
been advised about reimbursing those overcharged but in March, this | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
loophole will be closed. A fresh strand in an ongoing controversy. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Major and persistent failings at a Scottish council allowed mining | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
companies to leave local people facing a legacy of environmental | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
devastation. That's the main finding of a damning report into East | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Ayrshire Council's regulation of the opencast coal industry. Experts say | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
?132 million will have to be found if 22 sites are to be restored to | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
their original condition. Our environment correspondent, David | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
Miller, reports. A dark day for East Ayrshire. Those | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
were the words of the council leader here and this is the report which is | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
causing so much thanks. In the words of its lead author, this report is | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
as bad as it gets. The report highlights major and persistent | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
feelings, procedures which were deficient and effective. The result, | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
a scarred landscape without the money in place to pay for | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
restoration work. Why? Because two mining companies collapsed without | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
having enough money in place to play pay for clean-up. They did not | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
follow through on the policies in that plan. They did not follow | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
through in terms of conditions, the bonds for not with the companies and | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
as a result, we have major environmental legacies that will | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
cost a substantial amount of money. Tonight councillors backed an | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
internal investigation which could lead to disciplinary action against | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
individual members of staff. This is about responsibility and | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
accountability. What the investigation will do will look at | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
each of these failures cited in the report. The report has told us what | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
has happened. What we need to establish is why? Is your own | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
position secure? Yes. Campaigners say action is now needed at a | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
national level to ensure similar problems do not arise if companies | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
operate in landfill sites, wind farms or drilling for gas collapsing | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
future. No one knows who will foot the bill here in East Ayrshire. The | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
council insists it will not have to pay. The jobs the coal industry | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
supports here are hugely valuable but they have come at a cost. | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
The mother of three-year-old Mikaeel Kular has made her second appearance | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
in private at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. Rosdeep Adekoya is accused of | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
murder and attempting to defeat the ends of justice. Julie Peacock was | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
in court. Rosdeep Adekoya arrived here at | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
Edinburgh Sheriff Court in a prison van for her second court appearance | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
since she was detained. Rosdeep Adekoya who is appearing under her | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
married name made no plea or declaration at the private hearing | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
this afternoon. She has been charged with the murder of her | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
three-year-old son Mikaeel Kular and a second charge of attempting to | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
defeat the ends of justice. Mikaeel Kular's disappearance sparked off a | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
huge search by police and local people but his body was found just | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
20 miles away two days later. Rosdeep Adekoya's next court hearing | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
is expected to be in public before she faces a full trial. | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
tonight's programme:. From tee to sea - how coastal erosion is eating | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
away one of the country's most historic golf courses. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
In sport, great expectations at Rugby Park as Kilmarnock make a new | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
signing.. And on the home stretch for Sochi. It's all about making the | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
tiny differences for Team GB. For the Scots, a home-grown medical team | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
keeping them in familiar and safe hands. | :07:39. | :07:48. | |
How best to make the A9 safer, sooner? It's a notorious route. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Upgrading it to dual carriageway will cost ?3 billion and won't be | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
completed till 2025. In the meantime, a system of average speed | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
cameras is planned, but today, campaigners told MSPs that could | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
make the road even more dangerous. Craig Anderson reports. | :08:05. | :08:15. | |
It has attracted the unfortunate title of Scotland's most dangerous | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
road, hardly a week goes by without an accident and in an attempt to | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
reduce the carnage, the Scottish government announced it would | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
install a average speed camera network stretching 145 miles. But | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
today the road led one campaigner to argue against such a scheme in front | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
of Holyrood's petitions committee. I hate driving that road. I know I am | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
taking my life into my hands and that is seeing people and their hair | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
raising manoeuvres. Campaigners say the cameras will slow down traffic. | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
Transport Scotland have a moral duty to introduce measures to stop the | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
majority known cause of accidents which is overtaking manoeuvres and | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
not speeding. Last year there was a muted welcome to the plan but public | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
opinion now appears to have swung against it. It is impatience that | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
causes problems. Everyone knows where the dual carriageways. I have | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
seen dangerous occurrences caused by frustration by slow drivers. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Transport Scotland said the cameras were part of a conferences safety | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
plan for the route and insisted speed was a common factor in | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
crashes. The government has pledged to dual VA nine but that will not | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
happen for at least a decade and it is what to do in the litter to | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
reduce the toll of death and serious injuries that is at the heart of | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
this. A thousand bearded men parading | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
through the streets - what's not to like about the Up Helly Aa | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
celebrations in Shetland, which are underway this evening? However, the | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
fearless Vikings face another adversary - winds lashing the | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
islands. Hundreds of visitors are in Lerwick awaiting this evening's | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
fiery climax. And our reporter John Johnston is there for us tonight. | :10:17. | :10:26. | |
What are conditions like? It is storm Force winds. They are | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
battering the Shetlands tonight but these hardy Vikings are up for the | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
challenge. From first light this morning, they have been pounding the | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
streets. On the March, Vikings with an ambition to have fun. The bearded | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
warriors take to the streets building their axes and dragging a | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
ship behind them. Everyone gets involved. A huge community event. | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
1200 years ago the Vikings raided Shetland. Although the weather is as | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
while now as it was then, the Norsemen are a bit tamer. It is a | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
wonderful celebration of the history and culture of Shetland which is | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
unique. The Vikings have worked all year to make their questions, | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
shields, taxes and even growing their beards. It is worth all the | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
effort to get to this stage. Tonight the real celebrations get underway. | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
The usually dark skies will be ablaze with colour as the festival | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
reaches its fiery climax. I joined by one of the squad leaders from the | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
celebrations tonight. Has the stormy weather put you off today? Not at | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
all. The squad are for it. The adrenaline is going. We have plenty | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
of sustenance and we are all ready to roll. This suit you have on, how | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
heavy is it? Three and a half pounds. Not too bad. What is the | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
secret to surviving this? A good nights sleep does help and just keep | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
the adrenaline going. Very excited, the guys are really proud of the | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
squad and have done each other proud. I think we will give you a | :12:34. | :12:47. | |
cheer from here this evening. Other stories now. Proposals to scrap the | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
licensing of saunas in Adam Bratt will be considered by councillors. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
The number of licences involved in the sex trade was cut from 13 to | :13:01. | :13:10. | |
six. Scotland's lifeboat rescued more than 1000 people last year and | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
nearly 1000 call-outs. The ferry station was the busiest. 47 stations | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
in Scotland and they carried out almost 1000 shouts, which equates to | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
nearly three launches every day. Scotland's fire safety Minister | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
insists local knowledge will not be lost if a control rooms are merged. | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
She says it is the firefighters on the ground that hold the knowledge | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
and not those answering the phones. All of the knowledge is knowledge | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
that is held in the fire stations and none of the impact of what is | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
being discussed at the board will affect the fire stations. Nine | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
people were evacuated after fire broke out in a block of flats in the | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
village near Kirkcudbright. The blaze destroyed one property and | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
damaged another. A decline in fish in the North Sea could be linked to | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
a decrease in water temperature. The maximum body length of species has | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
decreased by as much as 29%. RSPB Scotland is urging Parliament to | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
recognise the golden eagle as the national bird of Scotland. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Conservationists argue such a move would raise the profile of the bird. | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
An investigation is underway after a freak ship collided with a port in | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
Stornoway. No one was hurt. It's one of Scotland's most historic | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
golf courses but the 450-year-old links at Montrose is being eaten | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
away by unstoppable forces of nature. Efforts to save the Greens | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
from coastal erosion are now being stepped up after the storms of | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
recent weeks blew away more of the course. Andrew Anderson reports. | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
A wet and windy day at Montrose, but it takes more than this to keep | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
golfers from their game. It is conditions like these that seem | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
meter after metre of this course disappear. -- C. | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
Over the dunes, the damage is clear, tonnes of sand washed into the sea. | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
From the beach, you can see the posts, the sand was almost at the | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
top of the posts. Because the westerly winds have allowed the sand | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
to build up, since then we bad storms from the east and the | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
south-east which the worst scenario. This fence was put in five or so | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
years ago in an attempt to halt the erosion. It has suffered damage. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
These posts Mark Webber new fence will go, but every time it is | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
encroaching further and further onto golf course. | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
This course is the fifth oldest in the world. It is an important source | :16:08. | :16:16. | |
of income for the town. The golf has been here for 450 years. It is an | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
important part of the town. Golf is hugely important to the Angus | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
economy and to our tourism offering. In one of the clubhouses, a portrait | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
of Tom Morris, the legendary golf course designer. He created the | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
course here, it is now threatened by the elements. We will try to | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
reinstall the fencing. Will Trent prop it up by using sand. Hopefully | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
it will slow down the erosion. Those determined to save the course are in | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
it for the long game. Extra tickets are being made | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
available for this summer's Commonwealth Games after the venue | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
for one of the sports was switched. Glasgow 2014 organisers are moving | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
the Netball final to the Hydro and are busy working out how many extra | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
tickets will be up for grabs. Our Commonwealth Games reporter Jane | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
Lewis has more. 12 hours to make sure the same venue | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
is ready to host a different sports. Overnight on the 2nd of August, out | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
will go the boxing ring and end will come a netball court. Organisers had | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
to be satisfied it could be done, so they employed a keen to carry out a | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
dress rehearsal. Eddie Mack the boxing finishes at Saturday night. | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
-- the boxing. We need to make sure that the players have enough time to | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
familiarise themselves with the court. Do the tests we did last | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
week, we can achieve everything we need to do. The Hydro has almost | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
doubled the capacity of the SECC where the earlier rounds of netball | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
will be. It could mean that 4000 extra tickets are made available for | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
a final battles originally sold out. One of our ambitions is to make sure | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
that these games are as open to as many people as possible. The finals | :18:09. | :18:18. | |
in particular. It is being established how many extra tickets | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
will be available and how they will go about selling them. | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
I was wing attack. A bit of netball trapped there. | :18:32. | :18:43. | |
-- chat. Kilmarnock believe the signing of | :18:44. | :18:53. | |
Alexei Eremenko can propel them towards the top six in the | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
Premiership, not just avoid a relegation play-off. The Finnish | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
international has signed up for a second spell at Rugby Park, and he | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
hopes to bring out the best in Killie's promising youngsters. | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
Here's our senior football reporter, Alasdair Lamont. The name brings | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
back fond memories down Rugby Park away. What about that? What a finish | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
from Alexei Eremenko. Today's side is a different one, but one he is | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
keen to be involved in. It is a young team, that is always good. I | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
feel a bit like a veteran now. I hope I can teach them something. | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
This young team has already begun to put some good results together, but | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
are still just four points off the relegation play-off spot. Steering | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
clear of that is the least of their ambitions. That is a concern, but | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
we're more interested in fighting for the top six. We think that is | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
achievable. We feel we can close the gap. By bringing in Alexei | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
Eremenko, we are hoping to show that commitment to move up the table. | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
Alexei Eremenko wouldn't be fit in time to go into Alan Johnston's team | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
for tomorrow against Celtic, but should prove a great addition in the | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
coming months. There is a stronger than ever Scots | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
presence in Team GB for the Sochi Olympic Games. Over 30% of the | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
athletes and the Chef de Mission are Scots. In addition, the Chief | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
Medical Officer and Head Physiotherapist have been supplied | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
by the Scottish Institute of Sport. Both medical and skiing skills are | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
required! In Scotland, Doctor Nigel Elliot | :20:32. | :20:45. | |
walks to meet his patients. In such she, he will scheme. | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
Part of the role will be to be on the slope with the athletes. There | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
may be a training run and they need somebody to have a look at them. You | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
are wired in with the coaching staff and form part of the team. Michael | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
Goodfellow is going to suck cheap with Team GB curlers. -- Sochi. | :21:11. | :21:20. | |
We have the opportunity to work with them through the Institute. We know | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
them well. It is important that they feel they are in a familiar | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
environment. Does that make a difference to you, Michael? Fast, | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
we're Trent treats the Olympic site any other championships. -- for us, | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
we are trying. It lets us concentrate on our games. One less | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
concern for the Scottish athletes. A huge positive in a world where | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
medals are won and lost in the smallest of margins. | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
Now, a look at what else is happening across Scottish sport. | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Russell is up and running as Caledonian Thistle's manager. He did | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
not think twice about swapping the Portuguese heat for the Highlands. I | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
played here the best part of 13 or 14 years and it was always this | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
weather. You get used to it. You get on with it. You feel privileged that | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
you can be here and enjoy a profession such as this. | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
Scotland are confident they can progress to the 2015 Cricket World | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
Cup. They sit joint top of their qualifying group after beating Papa | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
New Guinea. A win over Kenya guarantees that they qualify. | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
Scotland forward Tim Swinson has signed a new three-year deal with | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
Glasgow Warriors. He is currently with the national squad preparing | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
for this weekend's Six Nations opener against Ireland. | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
Scots's top squash players are in action at the British Doubles Open | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
in Scotstoun. It is valuable opportunity for them to practice on | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
the Commonwealth Games courts. It is great to be playing in this venue. | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
Previously, we have had not -- we have not had the opportunity as | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
much. It gives us the home advantage. -- home-field advantage. | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
That's the sport, finished right on time as our four-legged friends may | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
know. Or do they? Because we want to know, can dogs tell the time? It's a | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
question familiar to many dog owners, whose pets seem to be able | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
to sense when someone special is due home. Well, Jazz, a Hungarian Viszla | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
from Lesmahagow, might have the answer. A BBC documentary team have | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
been keeping an eye on him, as our science correspondent Kenneth | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
Macdonald reports. This is Jazz. He lives here in | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
Lesmahagow with his humans. We think he may be able to tell the time. To | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
find out, the BBC Radio the house with cameras. -- ringgit. | :24:19. | :24:28. | |
Christine is back first, same time every day. | :24:29. | :24:38. | |
Johnny is due back an hour later. But 20 minutes before, Jazz seems to | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
be getting ready for his arrival, day after day. Can Jazz tell what | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
time it is? One possibility is a dog's keen | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
sense of smell. After Johnny leaves in the morning, his ascent fades | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
from the house, can Jazz tell when it falls to a certain level? To find | :25:00. | :25:10. | |
out, the programme makers asked Christine to change her routine and | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
pick up some of Johnny's T-shirts and refresh Johnny's sent. | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
This time, snoozing seems more attractive. When Johnny comes back | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
in time, he seems to take Jazz by surprise. On the face of it, it | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
looks like the T-shirt trek reset his smell clock. This was not a | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
rigorous experiments. But it suggests that dogs cannot so much | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
tell the time, but smell it. And there's more on Inside the | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
Animal Mind tonight at 8pm on BBC Two Scotland. Thanks. | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
The weather is getting a bit better. Things are set to settle down over | :26:02. | :26:12. | |
the next few days. The area of low pressure that has been thrown out | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
showers, it has moved away nicely. A ridge of high pressure builds in | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
from Scandinavia. Come the end of the week, this deep area of low | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
pressure comes bringing outbreaks of rain. We could see some snow on | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
Friday. As far as tight is concerned, there are still some | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
showers around. -- as tonight. Showers should be confined to | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
eastern areas. There is a yellow warning for this part of the world. | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
Few showers in the West, clear skies here and possibly an ice risk. | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
Holding onto gales across the northern isles, but drier conditions | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
should develop over Shetland. A better day to come. Showers at | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
first, especially in the East, but as the day progresses showers become | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
fewer. Dryer, crisp sunshine in the West tomorrow. Across the | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
south-east, how the scales will be held on to. Some brokers coming | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
through in Edinburgh and five. Showers pushing into the north-east. | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
Elsewhere, looks like it will be dry. We should lose the gales across | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
the Northern Isles. Temperatures around four or six Celsius. As we | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
head into the evening, the showers become fewer and lighter and they | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
winds is everywhere. A widespread frost and ice risk across eastern | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
Scotland. A cold, bright start to Thursday. It will be called across | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
the country. Some flurries in the East, but we will see a change | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
coming for Friday. There is already an early warning for snow in inland | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
parts of the country. The snow will be readily at this level is, too. -- | :28:01. | :28:12. | |
at lower levels. Enjoy your evening. | :28:13. | :28:18. |
