and Thursday. That's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says opposition | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
alternatives to an independent Scotland would fall short of | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
tackling the problems facing the country. | :00:11. | :00:20. | |
She is told by opponents Scotland would do better with more powers and | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
said the UK. After the wettest winter any century | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
the farmers union calls for action to minimise the impact. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
We won gold when the Commonwealth games here that came here before so | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
today we find out why athletes are training hard to make their name in | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Glasgow. After an international call-up, | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
Scotland's latest hopeful is told he will only improve. The experience he | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
will have will only make him better and more prepared and effective. | :00:58. | :01:09. | |
Also tonight, find out why one of Hollywood's's hottest properties has | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
been driving around Scotland chatting up the locals. | :01:13. | :01:27. | |
Good evening. Nicola Sturgeon says opposition alternatives to an | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
independent Scotland would fall short of tackling the problems | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
facing the country. In a speech in Glasgow, Nicola Sturgeon said that | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
plans by Labour, the Lib Dems and Conservatives to extend devolution | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
would fail to tackle challenges such as growing Scotland's population and | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
economic strength. Our political editor Brian Taylor is here. So | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
pressure on the No campaigners? Pressure indeed. Sally, let's not | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
forget that there are already new tax and borrowing powers for | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Holyrood in the pipeline, due to be fully in place by 2016. But the | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
SNP's opponents are under pressure to go further in order to counter | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
the offer of independence. Nicola Sturgeon reckons they will | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
fall short. She listed five key challenges facing Scotland. | :02:17. | :02:28. | |
None of the other parties has so far produced substantial proposals | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
capable of meeting the national challenges. There is no joint | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
agreement and there are no guarantees. To vote no is to leave | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
Scotland's future in Westminster's hands. I believe it is time to take | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Scotland's future into Scotland's hands. Her opponents say it is | :02:51. | :03:00. | |
bogus. They do not believe in devolution but separation. It is a | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
totally different concept. Devolution is about having more | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
power in Scotland but having something bigger and more secure, | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
the best of both worlds. If anything, it has become like a | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
high-stakes game of cards, with rivals bidding for your attention | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
and your vote. We already know Nicola Sturgeon's bid. It's the | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
White Paper offering Scotland independence. For the Liberal | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
Democrats, Sir Menzies Campbell will next week publish an update. His | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
party favours substantial new tax powers for Scotland as part of a | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
federal UK. Labour? There are internal tensions and they're | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
finalising the details. But, in a fortnight's time, they'll outline | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
plans to devolve a bigger share of income tax and powers over welfare | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
and employment. And the Tories? A party commission headed by Lord | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Strathclyde will report in May. It's expected to back more devolved | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
financial powers, with the aim of cutting taxation. Of course, it's | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
not just about Scotland. In Cardiff today the Silk Commission | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
recommended new devolved powers for Wales, including policing. The SNP's | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
opponents say they'll do nothing that would disturb the emerging | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
balance of UK power, nothing that would break the Union. That, say | :04:11. | :04:22. | |
Nationalists, is the problem. Despite liberal Democrat efforts I | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
do not expect a single unified over to emerge from the prounion offers. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Too much time and pressure to compete with each other. Instead, | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Sally, there will be overlapping common ground. Bit like a Venn | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Diagram, if you remember them from maths. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
I didn't like them! The Labour led administration in | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Aberdeen is to ban Alex Salmond and other Scottish ministers from | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
council-run buildings. It follows a series of spats between the | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
authority and the Scottish Government. The SNP has described | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
the ban as ridiculous. Steven Duff joins us from outside the council | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
headquarters. We do not know what Robert the Bruce | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
would have thought about this but battle lines have been drawn and | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
Alex Salmond and his ministerial team looks set to be banned from | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
Aberdeen council buildings including the headquarters behind me as well | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
as schools and libraries and parks. The origin of this goes back to last | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
summer when the Aberdeen by-election when Labour councils accused Alex | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Salmond of going onto council premises without permission. It has | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
to be said he has been cleared of any blame over that but we have the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
ongoing row over the amount of funding Aberdeen gets. Today, the | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
acrimonious the rhetoric notched up a level or two. The problem has been | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
the relationship between ourselves and the Scottish government, going | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
to a new low. Alex Salmond is a boolean the only way to deal with | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
that is to take this kind of action. We are standing up to him. -- a | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
bully. I do not think this is going down well with the people of | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Aberdeen and the questioners who will be next to be banned? | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
Parliamentarians, the press, pressure groups? Absolutely | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
ridiculous. It looks like this ban is only for SNP ministers but not | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
any visiting ministers shadow ministers from any other political | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
party. Councillors will meet on Wednesday to discuss the move and it | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
looks as though there will be enough votes to push the band through. | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
Police are urging supporters to name and shame those responsible for | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
racist comments directed towards a young footballer at the weekend. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
17-year old East Stirlingshire player Jordan Tapping had to be | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
substituted during the SPFL League Two game against Peterhead, after | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
being left extremely distressed by the incident. Police Scotland say | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
they're following a positive line of enquiry. You're watching Reporting | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's programme. | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
The first prisoners are either Grampian's News super deal which | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
will hose men, women and young offenders. In sport the newly | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
deposed world champion Ricky Burns needs to get away from the ring. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
That's according to another former world champ. | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
And could Leigh Griffiths and Co be the real deal? Optimism as Scotland | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
approach yet another qualifying campaign. All that and more coming | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
soon. The wet winter's caused huge | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
problems for many of Scotland's farmers. With fields under water | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
some have had to delay sowing their crops. The farmers union is calling | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
for urgent talks to agree moves to minimise the impact of flooding on | :07:46. | :07:55. | |
farmland. Andrew Anderson reports. David Haye is's family has farmed | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
near Perth for four generations. At the start of January, strong winds, | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
heavy rain and a tidal surge created a massive fall in the bank. Water | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
came flooding in. We have 140 acres of arable land, the best soil that | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
we farm, and it is covered and what are now twice a day. It can go up | :08:24. | :08:35. | |
ten feet deep in water. There is no chance of cropping this land until | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
the banks are restructured. The heavy rain has taken its toll on | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
farms across Scotland with fields still underwater. Farmers leaders | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
say farmland like this must be protected. The mindset over the last | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
few years has been that farmland does not matter, it is a Visa worse | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
we can afford to use. -- a resource. That policy is starting to bite back | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
badly and we only have about 900,000 acres of very good land. We are | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
throwing away precious resources. With high tides tonight, the water | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
is again flooding onto the fields. This field is now effectively part | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
of the River Tay and it could take months to repay. Farmers say they | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
want to sit down with the government and other agencies to discuss how to | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
protect farmland. The Scottish government says it is discussing | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
initiatives to help farmers deal with climate change but will be | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
meeting for more talks. The bus company Stagecoach has | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
placed record orders worth more than ?100 million for hundreds of new | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
buses and coaches. The Perth-based group has unveiled orders for 568 | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
new vehicles. All of the new vehicles will be fitted with CCTV, | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
while more than 350 will have wi-fi installed for free internet access. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
A transport campaign group has called for a "rail revolution" to | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
make train travel in Scotland faster, safer and greener. Transform | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Scotland is calling for a reduction in journey times from Inverness, | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
Aberdeen and Dundee to the central belt, through the electrification | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
and doubling of rail lines. The Scottish Government says it will be | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
developing a strategy to identify future phases of electrification | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
beyond current schemes. The first prisoners have arrived in | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
the new Grampian super-jail. The facility replaces two Victorian | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
prisons in Peterhead and Aberdeen which both closed last year. It'll | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
house men, women and young offenders. Kevin Keane has been for | :10:39. | :10:47. | |
a look around. It has taken years of planning, | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
building and preparation for this moment and for the first prisoners | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
to arrive it has been a long journey from their temporary home in | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
Barlinnie. Chris is from Aberdeenshire and is serving eight | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
months for assault. He says the distance from home to Glasgow has | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
been hard for his family. Happy days. Aberdeen was extremely old and | :11:11. | :11:21. | |
Barlinnie is massive. Today just ten prisoners were brought into the new | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
jail but eventually some 500 offenders will be housed here. This | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
one section is divided up into four areas like that and it can hose | :11:31. | :11:43. | |
around 150 prisoners. -- how's -- house.. It is a far cry from these | :11:44. | :11:52. | |
Victorian sales. Here are slopping out with pilots that had to be | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
emptied manually where constantly criticised. Flatscreen televisions | :11:58. | :12:07. | |
and underfloor heating feature in the sales. There is a gymnasium, | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
sports hall, library and modern classrooms, but the government | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
insist it is not an easy life. If you go into a cell, the door closes | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
behind you and there is no handle on said. That is the reality. Tonight, | :12:26. | :12:35. | |
prison officers outnumber then it's quite significantly but the | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
population will increase as more prisoners are transferred from other | :12:40. | :12:48. | |
jails. lead's have another look at some other stories from around | :12:49. | :12:59. | |
Scotland tonight. 800 workers at the Faslane nuclear | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
submarine base on the Clyde are to go on a series of strikes, after | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
they overwhelmingly rejected a 2% wage offer. The Unite union called | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
off a previous stoppage over the same issue last month. The Ministry | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
of Defence says it's committed to the safe, secure and effective | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
running of the base and has robust contingency measures in place. | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
Aviemore will be confirmed as the preferred site for a new ?12 million | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
hospital at an NHS Highland meeting tomorrow. But two existing | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
hospitals, St Vincent's in Kingussie and the Ian Charles in Granton, will | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
close. Police are hunting a man who robbed | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
the Royal Bank of Scotland on St John's Road, in the west of | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Edinburgh, this morning. A man threatened a member of staff and | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
demanded money, which he stashed in a plastic bag. He then got into a | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
black cab, which headed west. A team of Aberdeen University-led | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
scientists have had their first glimpse of life in one of the | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
deepest parts of the world's oceans. Using cameras fitted to a metal | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
frame, the researchers can study the previously unexplored New Hebrides | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Trench in the Pacific Ocean. They've discovered that the sea bed, more | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
than four miles down, teems with giant fish and crustaceans. | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
The search is on for volunteers to monitor how our changing climate is | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
affecting trees. The study aims to help improve the management of | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
ancient woodlands by finding out which species are doing better than | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
others. We are also looking for people to collect data on where | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
different flower species, like the snowdrops you can see around me now, | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
are starting to flower. A gold medallist from the 1970 | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh believes Scottish athletes will be | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
training harder than ever, because they won't want to let the home | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
support down. Lachie Stewart, who famously won the 10,000m, believes | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
previously unknown athletes could become household names this summer | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
in Glasgow. Our Commonwealth Games reporter Jane Lewis spoke to him at | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
the venue where he made his name. Meadowbank Stadium, 2014. But for | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
this man, memories of 44 years ago come flooding back. Stewart has done | :14:59. | :15:11. | |
no work in front. Tell me about the atmosphere inside the stadium. Were | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
they shouting for you? I only noticed in the last couple of laps | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
because you are concentrating on what you are doing. But when I | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
realised there were a couple of laps to go, I noticed the crowd. You have | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
even got the top that you wore. This is brilliant.They don't make them | :15:28. | :15:42. | |
like that any more, do they? There is some interesting commentary, I am | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
sure you have watched, David Coleman. Lachie Stewart could be the | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
one with the fastest finish, but they are not renowned, any of them, | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
for being particularly fast over the last 400 metres. | :15:55. | :16:04. | |
You did prove them wrong a wee bit. It was... It was quite a laugh. I'd | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
never been beaten over the last hundred. Approaching the corner, on | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
the final lap, you made your move. It is Lachie Stewart, all the way, | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
and he has got them all. What does it mean to you, to have this medal? | :16:15. | :16:26. | |
Over the years, you can forget about it, but when you are talking about | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
the Games, that is when you start to remember it again. Tell me, what you | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
are expecting from the Games? How much are you looking forward to it? | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
I don't know how many medals we will win, but the Scots will train harder | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
because it's on their home turf. It will be a great atmosphere, I'm | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
sure. Of course, Hampden Park being the home of Scottish football, now | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
it might be the home of Scottish sport. | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
It was a great race. Lead's get some more sport now. | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
Good evening. The Scotland assistant manager Mark | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
Mcghee believes Leigh Griffiths is one of a small band of players good | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
enough to help the country qualify for Euro 2016. Griffiths was a late | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
call-up to the squad to play Poland on Wednesday. And as our senior | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
football reporter Alasdair Lamont reports, he's certainly a striker in | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
form. And the finishing touch supplied by | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Leigh Griffiths. A chance for Griffiths! That is a | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
cracking finish by Leigh Griffiths, who salutes the Celtic fans. | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
For the hat-trick! Three good reasons to call up the Leigh | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Griffiths to the Scotland squad. It may have been a late call, but on | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
that form, it would seem to be the right call. Leigh Griffiths was | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
given his first Scot. By the current management team back in June but | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
they are in no doubt whatsoever that by the time the Euro 2016 | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
qualifiers, round, he will be even better equipped to aid the national | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
cause. There is a fairly limited number of players we think will help | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
to qualifiers and Leigh Griffiths is one of them. With him being at | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
Celtic now and the new experience he will have next year of the Champions | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
League will can only make him a better player and he can only be | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
more prepared and better for the national team, so it will benefit | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
Celtic and benefit us. Celtic are already benefiting from Griffiths's | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
undoubted goal-scoring talents. If he can reproduce it in Scotland, he | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
will be soaking up the adulation of the nation. | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
The Rangers chairman David Somers has written to former chairman -- | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
board member David King asking him to meet with the rest of the board | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
as soon as possible. King has said he wants Rangers fans to withhold | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
season-ticket money unless the board are more open about the financial | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
situation at Ibrox. The newly deposed world champion | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
Ricky Burns needs to get away from the ring, according to another | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
former Scottish world champion. On Saturday, Burns lost his WBO World | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
Lightweight Title to American Terence Crawford. It was a unanimous | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
points decision in front of a packed crowd in Glasgow. Brian McLauchlin | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
reports. All three judges are in favour of | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
the winner and the new... It was the call that brought an end to Burns' | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
near four-year reign as champion Andy had little complaint. The | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
better man one on the night but I thought me being in there, I thought | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
some of the Rams were close and could have gone either way. Working | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
on the job, he was first to the punch a bit too much -- working on | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
the jab. But I will be back. But how soon? One former world champion says | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
Burns needs to think long and hard about his future. Best to have a | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
lengthy break away. I think part of the reason he was flat and | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
lacklustre is because he spends too much time in the gym. I think it | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
needs a good rest, some time away to reflect on what happened. And | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
Burns' management are looking at the prospect of having a crack at a | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
different world title. The WBC title is with a fighter who is with Golden | :20:08. | :20:20. | |
Boy, the WBA champion is desperate for a fight, and the IBF Keith | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Askins is also desperate. The new champ did not rule out a rematch but | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
not in Glasgow. We can have it in Omaha, see how many of you like | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
Omaha. So Omaha it is if Burns wants a chance to regain his belt. | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
Now look at what else is happening in Scottish sport. | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
Scotland tight head prop Euan Murray could be back in the pack against | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
France on Saturday. Murray has been injured and missed the opening three | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
games of the Six Nations Championship. Today, he rejoined | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
training with the Scotland squad. Andy Murray will play for Bangkok in | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
the inaugural International Premier Tennis League, starting in November. | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
Team-mates include Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Victoria Azarenka. Four | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
specially-created teams will compete to promote tennis in Asia. | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
Katie Archibald from Milngavie placed fourth in the points race at | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
the World track Cycling Championships She admits winning the | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
team pursuit gold last week added pressure to her individual event. | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
Before I knew where I was, no one know my name, I could get away with | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
things, but I had a pretty tough time coming into it, just | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
overthinking things. So it is a bit of a relief to be over. | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Russell Knox from Inverness holed this nine-foot putt to secure his | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
place in a four-man playoff at the Honda Classic in Florida. In the | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
end, Knox was joint second with Rory McIlroy. The event was won by | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
American Russell Henley. Eilidh Child has been named as | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
captain of Team GB for the World Indoor Championships in Poland, | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
which begins on Friday. Eilish McColgan has withdrawn from the | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
squad after failing to recover from injury. | :22:02. | :22:10. | |
And there are more sports stories plus all the latest news, 24 hours a | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
day, on BBC Sport Scotland's website. | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
And that is it that night. Sally. Thank you very much. | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
The Glasgow Film Festival has drawn to a close, after a record-breaking | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
year ,with a science fiction thriller set in Scotland. Under The | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
Skin stars the Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansen as an alien, | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
driving around the country looking for victims. Our arts correspondent | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
Pauline McLean has more. Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson, | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
undercover for her latest role. A glamorous alien cruising the streets | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
of Scotland looking for victims to prey on. Do you think I'm pretty? | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
Ie, you're gorgeous. Some were actors, but many were just ordinary | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
members of the public, secretly filmed as she stopped to ask | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
directions. They were only told afterwards that they had just made | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
their big debut. -- big-screen debut. As you might imagine, | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
everybody was pretty shocked when they were told firstly that they | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
were being filmed, because the covert nature of the filming meant | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
we pulled it off pretty well, so they were pretty shocked that they | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
were being filmed. And then when they were told it was Scarlett | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
Johansson, they couldn't believe it. Even the actors involved were left | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
with many questions. I hope I leave with my mind still boggling and with | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
many questions to be answered. I like stuff like that. I like stuff | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
that asks you questions. Are we alone? What are we here for? I | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
suppose everybody asks that, don't they? The film brought the Glasgow | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
Film Festival to a close. A small event which has grown and grown. | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
This was its most successful year to date, and organisers hope to keep it | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
that way. That is the challenge, how do you grow but still have a | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
festival that people feel connected to, that they know you, that they | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
feel it is friendly and welcoming? I think we are still managing to | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
achieve that. As for Scarlet Johannsson's unsuspecting co-stars, | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
they will get their screening in the cinema next weekend as it opens on | :24:09. | :24:18. | |
the 14th of March. Let's see how the weather is shaping | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
up. It felt like spring had sprung today, didn't it? | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
It was a lovely day the most diverse -- for most of us, you can see the | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
satellite where the sunshine was getting through but tonight, | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
temperatures fall away rapidly and we see a frost down the West Coast | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. We will keep patchy rain | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
going over the Northern Isles and during the second half of the night, | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
Cloud increasing, bringing rain into the West with some snow on the | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
hills. Tomorrow, cold start with showery rain and Hill Snow tracking | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
eastwards, but it won't amount to much and by lunchtime, confined to | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
the main north of the mainland and the Northern Isles. Elsewhere, we | :25:05. | :25:06. | |
see some sunshine getting through. But if we see mid afternoon, another | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
unsettled day for Orkney and Shetland with spells of rain and | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
strong winds, and come the afternoon, we will see showers | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
coming into the north-west, over the Western Isles, the north-west | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
Highlands and Argyll, and a few of those will be heavy. But for most of | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
the country, southern central and eastern Scotland, the emphasis is | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
once again on dry and bright weather with this in spells of sunshine. | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
Temperatures eight Celsius or so and mainly light winds. Tomorrow | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
evening, a lot of dry weather, turning Chile once again but up to | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
the north-west, something different as cloud and rain gather and wind | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
strength, which is a sign of things to come as another system pushes in | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
off the Atlantic on Wednesday. A fine start for most of the country | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
with early morning sunshine but that rain already in the north-west Will | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
edge said an eastwards and it will be heavy at times -- southwards and | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
eastwards. It is milder air pushing inside there will be some melting or | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
lying snow over the hills, combining to some issues with localised | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
flooding is for the West Highlands. Thursday, the front blows away and | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
we should see something drier and brighter with lighter winds. | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
brighter with lighter A reminder tonight's main news. The | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
Russians say their troops will remain in Ukraine until the | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
political situation has been normalised. There are reports that | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
Ukrainian forces in Crimea have been given until tomorrow morning to | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
surrender to Russia. Here, Deputy First Minister Nicola | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
Sturgeon has told businessmen and women that the proposals are | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
pro-European campaigners for more powers for Scotland fell far short | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
of what was needed, but supporters of the union say Scotland can gain | :26:53. | :26:54. | |
enhanced powers. And that's Reporting Scotland. I'll | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
be back with the headlines at 8pm and the late bulletin just after the | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
Ten O'Clock News. Bye-bye. | :27:02. | :27:03. |
