There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News

:00:00.:00:07.

Good evening. The leader of the Scottish Conservatives has pledged

:00:08.:00:16.

to scrap free prescriptions in order to pay for1000 extra nurses. In a

:00:17.:00:20.

speech to her party's conference in Edinburgh, Ruth Davidson also urged

:00:21.:00:23.

supporters to fight for the Union. Our political editor Brian Taylor

:00:24.:00:32.

reports. Ruth Davidson opened with an offer for 1000 more nurses and

:00:33.:00:37.

midwives funded by bringing back prescription charges for those who

:00:38.:00:45.

can pay. I say we should have enough nurses to do the job. She has

:00:46.:00:54.

charged a party commission to draft a more powers for the Scottish

:00:55.:00:57.

parliament which will include greater control of income tax.

:00:58.:01:05.

Independence is defeated and a stronger United Kingdom. Some in the

:01:06.:01:14.

party want to go much further. I would like to see full fiscal

:01:15.:01:22.

autonomy. You have to have some balance you will get such a hollowed

:01:23.:01:29.

out United Kingdom that Scottish or English or Welsh membership is

:01:30.:01:37.

artificial. But the party seems to be set to endorse sharing tax powers

:01:38.:01:49.

with Westminster. Aberdeen have beaten Inverness to win the Scottish

:01:50.:01:53.

League Cup - their first big trophy in nearly two decades. The final

:01:54.:01:56.

finished nil-nil after extra time, but The Dons won it four - two on

:01:57.:02:00.

penalties. The drama was played out at Celtic Park. More than 50,000

:02:01.:02:06.

fans travelled south to Glasgow. For Inverness Caley Thistle it was the

:02:07.:02:16.

debut in Glasgow. The former Inverness winger had to go off after

:02:17.:02:25.

four minutes. Inverness started stronger in the second half and the

:02:26.:02:30.

Aberdeen goalkeeper was forced into a fumble and both sides might have

:02:31.:02:39.

won the match at the end of normal time with what looked like a file in

:02:40.:02:46.

the penalty box but the match stayed with no score after extra time and

:02:47.:02:51.

went to penalties. The first 24 Inverness went badly and by the time

:02:52.:02:58.

that Adam Rooney stood up, he knew that he had to score to win the cup

:02:59.:03:11.

and he dead. Aberdeen celebrated and Inverness will have to wait for

:03:12.:03:17.

another occasion. A man has been arrested following

:03:18.:03:20.

the death of a man in the Easterhouse area of Glasgow.

:03:21.:03:22.

29-year-old Ryan McNeill was discovered at a house in

:03:23.:03:25.

Conisborough Road yesterday morning. A 27-year-old man is being held in

:03:26.:03:31.

connection with the incident. The Scotch Whisky Association is calling

:03:32.:03:34.

on the Chancellor to scrap planned increases in alcohol duty in his

:03:35.:03:37.

budget next week. At the moment, duty and VAT make up 79% of the

:03:38.:03:41.

price of an average bottle of Scotch Whisky. If the alcohol duty

:03:42.:03:46.

escalator were implemented again, this would go up to 81%. The SWA,

:03:47.:03:50.

together with the Wine Spirit Trade Association and the Taxpayers'

:03:51.:03:53.

Alliance, say this should be frozen. Former names from the world of

:03:54.:03:56.

football, as well as some lesser-known enthusiasts, have been

:03:57.:03:59.

raising funds for those affected by the Clutha helicopter tragedy. Even

:04:00.:04:03.

some BBC sports reporters got in on the act. Paramedics, police and a

:04:04.:04:08.

team of Glasgow councillors made up one side. They took on the Lord

:04:09.:04:14.

Provost's select team - made up of famous names and faces from the

:04:15.:04:17.

world of Scottish football - who went on to win the tournament. We

:04:18.:04:20.

are strong favourites today because we have quite a few players who

:04:21.:04:23.

might not be in the shape of what they used to be on the strips are

:04:24.:04:25.

tight fitting that this should be but we still know I wait to go so it

:04:26.:04:31.

is a fantastic location for helping a little bit. Let's get the weather

:04:32.:04:39.

prospects for this evening and the start of the week, and Judith

:04:40.:04:41.

Ralston is at the map. It has been a windy day but those

:04:42.:04:54.

wins will ease down. The rain will become more persistent across the

:04:55.:04:58.

North West and into Orkney but it will be dry elsewhere. It will be

:04:59.:05:06.

cold in Shetland but elsewhere it will be around seven degrees eight

:05:07.:05:10.

degrees underwent will settle into the fresh category by the end of the

:05:11.:05:14.

night. Tomorrow starts off cloudy but that rain will increase through

:05:15.:05:21.

the course of the morning through to Sutherland and into Orkney but not

:05:22.:05:25.

reaching Shetland to later in the afternoon. There will be a lot of

:05:26.:05:31.

dry weather for its southern and eastern Scotland with good spells of

:05:32.:05:33.

sunshine across that part of the country. Temperatures in the East

:05:34.:05:38.

will be very much on the mild side with highs around 15 Celsius for

:05:39.:05:45.

Aberdeenshire and ten or 11 degrees for the rest of the country.

:05:46.:05:50.

And that's Reporting Scotland. Our next update's just after the ten

:05:51.:05:56.

o'clock news. Until then, from everyone on the team here in

:05:57.:05:59.

Glasgow, enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening.

:06:00.:06:08.

Good evening. Apologies for sounding Southeast centric, but it is

:06:09.:06:15.

difficult when London had a high of 20 this afternoon, 68 Fahrenheit.

:06:16.:06:20.

Lovely sunshine across England, Wales and eastern

:06:21.:06:21.
