That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me and, on | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Tonight on Reporting Scotland: Eight months pregnant and admitted to | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
hospital with chest pains. An inquiry into this woman's death | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
criticises the treatment she received and says her death might | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
have been avoided. She so wanted to be a mother. She didn't get to hold | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Grace. Also tonight: We speak to Chief | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Constable Sir Stephen House on how policing would be affected in the | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
event of independence. More criticism of the laws brought | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
in to tackle football-related sectarianism. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
And too much competition, organisers of the RockNess music festival pull | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
the plug. Good Evening. | :00:41. | :01:02. | |
Caroline McCall from Cambuslang was eight months pregnant when she was | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
admitted to The Princess Royal Hospital in Glasgow with stabbing | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
pains in her chest. She died just 41 hours later. After a Fatal Accident | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Inquiry, a sheriff has ruled that the care she received was | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
substandard and her death might have been avoided. Catriona Renton | :01:19. | :01:30. | |
reports. If they had listened, she made still be here today. Al on your | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
lost his pregnant fiancee in November 2008. -- Allen. Caroline | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
felt a severe pain. Yellow neck she lunged forward. She ended up on her | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
knees. She said she thought she was having a heart attack. Allen brought | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
her here to The Princess Royal maternity Hospital. She saw a string | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
of junior doctors. No one diagnosed a heart problem. They didn't seem | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
overly concerned. They gave her an examination. They then came to the | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
conclusion that they thought it was heartburn. Caroline immediately slap | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
that down saying, I have had heartburn from day one. She never | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
thought she had what she had, but she knew it was not heartburn. Two | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
doesn't touch with her friends saying that they aren't listening to | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
me. -- she got in touch. They are telling me it's heartburn. They | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
don't listen. She was there for 41 hours, did she see anybody senior? | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
Never. That is the crux of the problem. She never saw anybody | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
senior. Caroline's condition deteriorated. She had already named | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
her daughter. One expert told the Fatal Accident Inquiry that had | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Caroline been diagnosed properly on her arrival at The Princess Royal, | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
she would have stood an 80% chance of surviving life-saving surgery. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
The sheriff said the lack of consultant involvement in her | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
treatment clearly amounted to substandard care. NHS Greater | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
Glasgow and Clyde said... Caroline's death has devastated her | :03:27. | :03:38. | |
whole family. The amount of damage that her passing has done to rose, | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
to her mother, to the whole family. It has been immeasurable. We have | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
been cheated of a life that should never have been lost. Caroline never | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
got to see her little girl who is now five and according to the family | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
the image of her mother. Caroline longs to be a mother, but she did | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
not get to hold Grace. It is a bittersweet thing. Caroline is | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
passed away. But we have our baby daughter here. It boils down to | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
things, that is all I have left of Caroline, Grace. | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Police Scotland and the UK security agencies have held discussions on | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
plans for intelligence sharing if there's a yes vote in the | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
independence referendum. Security and intelligence services are | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
currently reserved to Westminster, with the Metropolitan Police | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
providing the lead in counterterrorism. Our Home Affairs | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Correspondent, Reevel Alderson, has been hearing from Scotland's Chief | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Constable about what's been done so far. | :04:40. | :04:50. | |
Terrorism in Scotland, the car bomb attack on Glasgow airport, in all | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
cases like this the Metropolitan Police take charge. They are the | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
lead counterterrorism force for the whole of the UK, but what would | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
happen in an independent Scotland? Scotland's most senior police | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
officer says discussions have already taken place with UK security | :05:07. | :05:16. | |
agencies. I don't see it as a massive issue. More significant is | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
the observers have brought up in the intelligence flow that would be | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
shared. We are continuing to discuss it. We are offering our views and | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
opinions, but I don't think it has been solidified. GCHQ, the centre of | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
the UK's intelligence gathering operation, ticks say international | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
protocols mean intelligence passed here by other countries couldn't be | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
shared with Scotland. Backtrack critics. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Senior officer dismisses fears. It is in the interest of allies. Very | :05:48. | :06:00. | |
credible in regarding of the handling, we will be good allies and | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
friends to England and the rest of the United Kingdom and the rest of | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
the world, because it is in everyone's interests. On more | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
routine matters, the Chief Constable says it will almost certainly be | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
business as usual with an open border meaning police here and in | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
England will continue to cooperate fully. I don't expect any change in | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
the relationship between the police service in Scotland and England. | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
Regardless of the result in September. We are professionals. We | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
will still operate on the same landmass and there will be common | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
interests. Observers say and independence the security services | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
would need to be placed on a proper illegal footing with Holyrood having | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
ultimate oversight. -- legal. Labour is calling for new laws, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
brought in to tackle football-related sectarianism, to be | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
scrapped. The party says the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
is not working and will be repealed if they win the next Holyrood | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
election. The Scottish Government says it's committed to reviewing the | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
law's effectiveness. Here's our political correspondent, Glenn | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
Campbell. From trouble on the touchline to an | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
attack on the Celtic manager. From hate filled messages on Facebook to | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
parcel bombs sent in the post. The football season that ended in 2011 | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
is remembered for the ugliness it brought to the beautiful game. And | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
for the crackdown that the Scottish Government pushed through Parliament | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
as a result, including two new offences designed to tackle abusive | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
behaviour in and around football grounds and threatening messages | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
online. Labour says these changes have not made the law clearer and | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
should be dropped. What we have discovered is the new law is | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
equally... Courts find it difficult to administer. One sheriff described | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
it as mince. Fans don't like it or think it is fair. Last week, Celtic | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
called for an immediate review of the law. Ministers say that will | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
happen as planned after this year's football season is finished. There | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
is nothing in my view to suggest that the act is not working as it | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
was intended to work. The legislation will stay in place and | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
what we're doing at the moment is looking to see how it is working in | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
practice. When we have that report from the independent researchers, we | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
will have a look at what their recommendations are. Despite | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
protests, the anti-bigotry laws will stay in less the Scottish | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
Government's review recommends changes or Labour wins the next | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Holyrood election. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's programme: Finding out | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
more about the great unknown. We look ahead at Scotland's first | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
paranormal festival. In sport: Will one of our Olympic | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
medal winners carry on curling? We put David Murdoch on the spot. | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
And his signature is becoming sought-after, but how much do you | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
know about Scotland's leading golfer? | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
?12 million pounds of lottery funding is being given to help those | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
affected by domestic abuse in Scotland. It's been awarded to 24 | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
projects across the country and is being used to pay for support | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
services, legal advice and refuge centres for families made homeless | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
through escaping violent situations. Julie Peacock reports. | :09:34. | :09:45. | |
High profile campaigns against domestic violence have done much to | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
in courage women and men to report abuse. While that is translated into | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
an increase in incidents being reported to police, it has stretched | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
what limited support is available. Rebecca suffered hundreds of violent | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
attacks and years of abuse before she finally decided to leave her | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
partner. With no safe house in her area, she delayed her escape. | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Everywhere I went, it was a closed door. There were no homeless housing | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
-- was no. Nothing was available to me. At one point, I was offered it | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
and breakfast in Glasgow city centre which in regards to what the | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
children were going through, there was no way we could have coped. -- | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
bed and breakfast. At ?12 million is hoping to improve the support | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
offered to people like Rebecca. In East Dunbartonshire, their share of | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
the funding is being spent on emergency accommodation. While there | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
will always be a demand for refuge centres like this one, London will | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
also be there to pay for things like legal fees and extra security. | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
Backtrack funding will. That way people affected can stay in their | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
homes. Women's Eight says it will have a | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
huge service. It will allow us to at least support | :11:12. | :11:20. | |
30% of the women. On five years, it will be a large amount of women. -- | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
over five years. For people like Rebecca, it will | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
make a huge difference, too. It'll be great as they will be able to | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
stay with their children, near their schools and friends and family. | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
There is nothing worse at that time than being away from your family and | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
friends when you need them most. This year's RockNess music festival | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
in the highlands has been cancelled. Organisers are blaming competition | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
from the likes of the Commonwealth Games and the World Cup. The | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
promotors have promised to return bigger and better in 2015, but music | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
fans are angry and disappointed at the move. Craig Anderson joins us | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
now from the festival site near Inverness. Craig, not good news for | :12:02. | :12:14. | |
music fans? No. This is where RockNess has been staged since 2006. | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
This year, it will not be coming, and that is a disappointment to the | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
thousands of music fans who flocked here for the past eight years. The | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
organisers say it is because they are facing competition from events | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
surrounding the Commonwealth Games and the World Cup. Angry, some | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
commentators see it as a pretty lame excuse. -- frankly. They said that | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
last year the event was scaled down amidst speculation that ticket sales | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
were poor. Whatever the reasons, it is a blow for the profile of the | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
area. In terms of raising the profile for the area, to the extent | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
that suddenly this was a place where big events like this happened it was | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
hugely significant. We all know these iconic views that I hear, I | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
would definitely say it has been significant. So cancelled for this | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
year, but will Rock Ness rise again? The organisers say that they will | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
definitely bounce back in 2015, but what form the event will take we do | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
not yet know. There are many festivals, music festivals, around | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
the country and most of them have there own unique selling point. One | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
is touted as the Glastonbury of the North. The Wicker man with its fire | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
festival. Some people have criticised the promoters for | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
cancelling RockNess have said they would try to appeal to two wide an | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
audience and were trying to create a mini key In The Park. Whatever form | :13:58. | :14:07. | |
it takes, one thing is clear, these fields will see more grazing than | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
raving this summer. A look at other stories from the | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
across the country. Lung cancer rates amongst women in | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
Scotland have almost doubled in the past 40 years. | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
Figures from Cancer Research UK show a 97% rise since 1975, while there's | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
been a 40% reduction in men being diagnosed. | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
A new play about the 1707 Act of Union between Scotland and England | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
premiers at the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh tonight. Union centres on | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
the debates and drama in the 18th century taverns and coffee houses | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
along the Royal Mile and has a particular resonance for the | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
referendum debate. The sort of arguments that you are hearing now | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
from politicians or specific leaders are really similar to what was going | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
on back home. In 1707, you have got a parliament in Edinburgh that is | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
facing a choice of whether to right itself out of existence or not. | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
A pilot scheme to try and reduce food waste from restaurants has been | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
launched. The Good to Go scheme aims to encourage customers at 11 | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
participating restaurants in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Irvine to | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
take leftovers home in branded containers. We know in other | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
countries it is quite a normal thing to do that from our research in | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
Scotland, we know that about half the people just feel a bit too | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
embarrassed about asking for a doggy bag but we also know that if offered | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
one, they would take it. Tributes have been paid, after the | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
death of one of the last survivors of the Battle of Longstop Hill in | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
Tunisia in 1943. Major Duncan McMillan from Campbeltown served | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. He was awarded the | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
military medal for his bravery in the battle. | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
Scottish Government ministers have been promoting Sport Relief at | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
Holyrood. They've announced ?750,000 for voluntary projects to match fund | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
money from the charity event. It's part of the commitment to secure a | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
lasting legacy from the 2014 Commonwealth Games both at home and | :16:09. | :16:20. | |
abroad. Glasgow's Burrell Collection, home | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
to some of the greatest art treasures in Scotland. Tomorrow, 43 | :16:25. | :16:33. | |
paintings spanning five centuries will go on display. It is the last | :16:34. | :16:43. | |
exhibition before the collection closes for refurbishment in 2016. | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
Yesterday there was a leak and paintings had to be protected. | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
It is a story of five centuries of art in just 43 paintings, from | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
Italian Renaissance to French Impressionism. Shipping magnate Sir | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
William Burrell had an eye for detail and is collection rivals any | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
art gallery. He did not have the funds that, for example, American | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
collectors had at the time, but everything he bought, he would | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
handle and get to know. A lot of collectors were buying things and | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
would not even see them, but he took real care in everything he bought. | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
He would write his purchases down in purchase books. He wrote about his | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
art but not about himself so it is through the collection that we learn | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
about the man who collected work with a passion from every corner of | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
the world. This is the famous carpet, a Persian carpet laid out as | :17:44. | :17:52. | |
a walled garden. Some items large to display, like this carpet. The | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
building is fighting a losing battle with the element. Only a small | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
percentage of artworks will be on the move, in an upcoming tour. There | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
are 8000 items. There is no way we could talk that number. Lots of | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
interesting and exciting discussions are taking place with museums across | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
the world but we will ensure that there is of course an exhibition | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
open every day along with all our other museums where people can see | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
their selection, the best of the Burrell as well. And that | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
refurbishment work cannot start soon enough. This afternoon, cue raters | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
had to move fast to protect priceless works after discovering a | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
fresh leak in the roof. The plastic will only be on overnight and they | :18:41. | :18:53. | |
plan to open as normal tomorrow. Success at the Winter Olympics made | :18:54. | :19:03. | |
Team GB skip David Murdoch a household name. But will he or will | :19:04. | :19:12. | |
he not carry on curling now? What do curling and bringing have in | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
common? Not much, perhaps, but we cannot get enough, it seems, of our | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
Olympic colours. It has been a great campaign during these Olympic Games | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
and... Their efforts in Sochi fresh in the memory but will be men of the | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
moment continue to cull together. There are lots of things we need to | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
discuss, sponsors, coaching, and work out what we are going to do. So | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
is that no? I feel good, I am in good shape. When you look at that | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
and look forward to going ahead, I could keep going for a few more | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
years. A maybe, then? The sensation of actually winning and getting | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
something from all that training, you think, I think I might do that | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
again. It is heading towards a yes, isn't it? Yes, you are pushing me | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
into it! Now, what about that when? Running is a big part of our | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
training for when we are on the ice. It seems he has been persuaded to do | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
that, too. 2014 has been a big year for our | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
curlers. Our golfers also wanted to be one to remember. Stephen | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
Gallacher wants to be in the Europe Ryder Cup team, but before that he | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
has the Scottish Masters. He is the only Scot in the top 40 of the world | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
rankings. Signing autographs for children who | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
raised money for Sport Relief. Scotland's leading golfer says the | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
next few months are vital if he is to achieve his goals. This is a | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
vital year. I gave myself a good start so hopefully I can keep going. | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
But who is Stephen Gallagher? Born in Bathgate in 1974, he turned pro | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
aged 21, and recently he became the first player to successfully defend | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
the Dubai Desert classic. The Gaelic name is already well-known in the | :21:22. | :21:32. | |
golfing world. My father was a club champion at Bathgate golf club, | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
where I grew up. It has been in my family all the time. I've was | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
rubbish at football so I took up golf. COMMENTATOR: Stephen | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
Gallagher... Early in his career, Gallagher was | :21:49. | :21:57. | |
part of a successful amateur team. I played against Tiger Woods in 1995. | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
We won. Quite a few guys are still on the tour now as well. He's | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
participation in the first major of the year, the Masters, will | :22:11. | :22:20. | |
hopefully be confirmed soon. Now a look at what else is happening | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
in Scottish sport! As if they haven't won enough this | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
week, Aberdeen's Derek McInnes is the Manager of the Month for | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
February. It doesn't end there. There are a lot of tough games | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
coming up in the league now. Adam Rooney is Player of the Month. No | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
sign of resting on their laurels, though. | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
Third-place Motherwell are breathing down Aberdeen's necks in the | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
Premiership - goals from Lionel Ainsworth and John Sutton earning | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
them a 2-0 win over Inverness. They're now level on points but the | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
Dons have a game in hand. Rangers manager Ally McCoist says | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
he's spoken to two players - he won't say who - about joining the | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
club next season. But he adds he can't offer them contracts until the | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
club's financial position is clearer. | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
Scotland hooker Ross Ford has signed a two-year contract extension with | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
Edinburgh. The British and Irish Lion has been with them since 2007. | :23:11. | :23:37. | |
It is good night for me. Finally before the weather, Stirling will be | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
the venue for the first-ever Scottish Paranormal Festival. | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
Organisers claim it'll be a mixture of serious debate and fun. Andrew | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
Anderson can tell us more. Stirling's all town, full of history | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
and some would say not short of the odd haunting or two. -- old town. | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
Even today you still get the unusual sightings on its cobbled streets. | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
Allow me to present myself, masted jock ranking. Executioner. This is | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
the Happy Hanged man. Or David, who has run ghost walks for 25 years. | :24:19. | :24:31. | |
There is an increasing interest in folklore and the paranormal, if I | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
can use it to increase interest in folklore and history, all the | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
better. The festival will be held at Halloween, a mystery of the series | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
and the light-hearted. Among the events, people who have studied | :24:49. | :24:59. | |
reports of alien flying objects. And there is a vampire Kayleigh and a | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
competition for young film-makers. If you go onto the internet, there | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
are millions of videos on YouTube. We are tapping into a vein of | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
interest that already exists. The ambition is to make Stirling top | :25:19. | :25:28. | |
Halloween attraction in Scotland. So Stirling is not short of strange | :25:29. | :25:37. | |
goings-on. The ideal place for the festival. | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
It was the spring equinox today. The length of the night equal to the | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
length of the day, and an indication that we are heading towards the | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
milder months and it is -- but it is getting colder. Sounds perverse but | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
at this time of year we get the fluctuation in temperatures. Fairly | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
breezy, and showery. An ice risk across parts of the country tonight. | :26:05. | :26:13. | |
And some of the showers are wintry. Overnight lows last night, seven or | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
eight degrees. Tonight much colder. A cold start to the day tomorrow, I | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
see in places. Windy with blustery showers, mainly through the North | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
West. Through the central belt and South East, a bright but chilly | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
day, and then more showers through the afternoon, certainly in the | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
South West. By 3pm, pretty chilly wherever you are. At -- ad on the | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
strength of the wind and it will feel colder than that. In towards | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
Perthshire, still dry. Across the Highlands and the Hebrides, chav is | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
frequent, as in the Northern Isles. And through the latter stages of the | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
afternoon, showers more organised, working their way in. Some sleet and | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
maybe snow. That pushes through but the showers are still with us and | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
the low pressure is still with us, sat towards the North, and with the | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
flow of the low pressure, we will continue to see the showers at the | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
weekend. And Saturday, still breezy and cold and showers frequent across | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
the North and North West. Sunday, a change of wind direction. The | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
further South you are, brighter. Still chilly despite brighter skies. | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
High pressure builds as we head towards Monday. So it will be a cold | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
night but generally settled to start the working week that out West, more | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
rain on the way. Cold, frosty and for some, ice. | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
Now a reminder of tonight's main news: The care that a pregnant woman | :27:48. | :27:56. | |
received in hospital when she suffered acute chest pains was sub | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
standard, according to a Sheriff at a fatal accident inquiry. He ruled | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
that Caroline McColl's death might have been avoided. | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
The focus of the search for the Malaysian airliner missing for 13 | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
days has shifted to an area 1,500 miles southwest of Australia. | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
I will be back at 8pm and 10:25pm. Goodbye. | :28:15. | :28:17. |
