far is the year in Scotland. BBC Scotland has learned that | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
visitors to the Commonwealth Games are being duped | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
into spending hundreds of pounds on Police are investigating | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
after a number of bogus online companies appeared on booking | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
websites such as Expedia. Our Commonwealth Games reporter Lisa | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
Summers has this exclusive report. As soon as James Hardie secured | :01:19. | :01:31. | |
tickets for the Commonwealth Games, he booked accommodation. He works in | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
London for the BBC finance team, and used Expedia to book an apartment. | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
Confirmation came through, they tell my money, then next thing I know, I | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
got a consolation e-mail, and they had taken more money than I had | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
agreed. I can't contact them to see what is going on, and I have tried | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
to get Expedia to look into it. This is the block of flats advertised, | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
where James Kelly would be staying for the Commonwealth Games. But we | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
have just been inside, and the security guards at never heard of | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
them. In fact, the company is being investigated by police. It would | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
seem that Yankee is not the only phantom booking company advertising | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
on the internet. This unassuming office park was advertised as Kyle | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
Apartments, but nobody here has heard of them. We spoke to people | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
listed with companies house is both directors of Yankee and Kyle | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
apartments, and they told us they had been victims of identity theft, | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
with people using their purpose that with personal information to set up | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
fake sites. Events such as the Commonwealth Games Jack Parslow | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
activity. Several thousand cases of fraudulent accommodation with | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
reported during the Olympics. Fraudsters will make use of | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
technology that is there for their own ends, so if they can access | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
information online to make it look like they are representing a valid | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
company, they will use that information to set up a website that | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
looks like the real thing. In the case of Yankee, Expedia told us: | :03:01. | :03:11. | |
The travel industry says accommodation fraud is costing | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
consumers ?1.5 million per year. Begin and such of the Ryder Cup, | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Commonwealth Games, etc, are always a big attraction for people to come | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
and visit. The opportunity is there for fraudsters to put up sites that | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
look good, but in effect, are completely a scam. Police Scotland | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
are urging visitors to make sure of where they are staying, to make sure | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
they are not victims of a scam. Train staff have agreed bonus | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
and overtime payments with ScotRail for working during the | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Commonwealth Games. They will receive | :03:50. | :03:50. | |

at the centre of a police investigation into | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
the care of residents is to close. Concerns were raised after | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
the deaths of four people at the Pentland Hill home and prosecutors | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
are considering a police report. BUPA, who run the home, say they've | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
decided to close it voluntarily. Our reporter Andrew Anderson is | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
at the home tonight. This care home has been under | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
scrutiny for months now. Last summer, the police launched an | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
investigation following the deaths of four residents at Pentland Hill. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
They launched their investigation after the death of a six T | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
seven-year-old, who was living here. The police sent their report | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
to the Procurator Fiscal back in February. Pentland Hill was also | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
severely criticised by the care Inspectorate. They said they had | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
seriously considered requesting a sheriff to use his powers to close | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
this hometown. That did not happen, but it was closed to new | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
admissions. Tonight, Burke, who operate this home, one of the | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
biggest providers of private care in the UK, said they will close the | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
home. They said they have failed to recruit a sufficient number of | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
skilled nurses. There are 61 frail and elderly residents living here, | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
and a night, Edinburgh City Council says it is in talks with deeper to | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
explore ways that this home could be kept open. It seems this story may | :05:21. | :05:21. | |
have some way to go yet. The booming housing market in London | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
may be the greatest threat to That's the warning from a group of | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
experts here, who've urged the Bank of England not to raise interest | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
rates to tackle the problem. Our business correspondent | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
David Henderson is here Jackie, unless we're looking to move | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
to London, most of us don't know, and don't care how much it costs to | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
live there. But it seems the spiralling price of | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
a home in the capital could have a major knock-on effect for all of us. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
Here's why. In the last year, London house | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
prices soared by about 19%. At the same time, | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
a typical house in Scotland rose So there are growing calls | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
for the Bank of England to raise interest rates in an effort to | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
prevent boom and bust in London. Interest rates have been stuck | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
at a record low - just half a It is not cheap and they may not be | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
cheerful. These would-be buyers know London's property marble is a | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
daunting climb. Across the city, the average home costs half a daunting | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
climb. Across the city, the average home costs rising by 100s of pounds | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
every day. With prices soaring, some fear a housing bubble that could | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
burst and harm the economy. So what will the Bank of England do? In his | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
speech last week, the governor of the bank warned that interest rates | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
might soon go up. There is already great speculation about the exact | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
timing of the first rate hike, and this decision is becoming more | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
balanced. It could happen sooner than financial markets currently | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
expect. That could mean a rate rise later this year. Popular, perhaps, | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
with savers, but borrowers could see rising costs. Today, one of the | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
country's leading economists warned of the damage that could cause to a | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
Scottish economy that is on the mend. A lot of people have taken out | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
mortgages very low rates of interest, and so, if you get a | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
small, even a 25.2% increase, that is still a high percent increase in | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
the low rates of interest that people are paying, so it is a very | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
high risk for the household incomes, and you cope with that by cutting | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
spending elsewhere. There is a ray of hope, with firms like this when | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
taking on staff, Scotland's economy is set to grow, but some fear a rate | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
rise could blow that recovery of course. | :07:54. | :07:54. | |
Interest rates have been stuck at a record low - just half a | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Now if they're to rise, the Bank of England want to see them go up in | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
baby-steps, a quarter of a percent at a time, to limit their impact. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
But it's clear today the Bank faces growing pressure from outside London | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
not to put up rates any time soon, and to find other ways to cool the | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
housing market in the south-east. Jackie. | :08:16. | :08:24. | |

Could a new type of life jacket be a life-saver for the oil and gas | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
industry? And find out why the Celtic manager Ronny Deila says | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
there will be no trouble between his assistant and his captain. That and | :08:41. | :08:41. | |
more sports later. The number of health visitors is to | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
increase dramatically over the next four years, | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
according to plans outlined by Five hundred new health visitors are | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
to be recruited in order to comply with a new law | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
which gives every child a named Our health correspondent | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Eleanor Bradford reports. Thank you. We will just get that for | :08:56. | :09:07. | |
you today. From the day you are born, and you go to school, a health | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
visitor is supposed to monitor your well-being. But health visitors say | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
their numbers have been falling for years, and the government hasn't | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
even been keeping records of staffing levels. But all that is | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
about to change, as health Minister Alex Neill announced today at this | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
neighbourhood centre in Edinburgh. Over the next four years, we are | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
going to recruit another 500 health visitors throughout Scotland. All | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
the evidence shows that if we give young children, particularly in | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
their early months and years, the best possible start in life, then | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
they grow up to be healthy citizens, well educated, with a good chance of | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
employment. So why the sudden boost of staff? It is to do with this, the | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Children And Young Persons Act, which comes into effect this August. | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
It says every child should have a named person, a scheme already in | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
place in Highland. They will act as a point of contact for questions and | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
offer help with any problems. The children at school will have a | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
teacher as their names person, but usually, it will be a health | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
visitor. Health visitors are really integral to supporting the | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
government initiative, and that is why we were calling for an | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
investment into significant training for other health visitors, because | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
they are the people have the skills and qualifications to be able to | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
support children and families and actually get them the care that they | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
require. These plans have been welcomed, although they do span the | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
next Holyrood election in 2016, so whoever wins that will decide if | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
they are fully rolled out. Prestwick Airport is to receive | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
a multi-million pound makeover, In her role as Infrastructure | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
Secretary, Nicola Sturgeon also told MSPs the airport will not be renamed | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
Robert Burns International. The decision to invest in Prestwick | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
has been criticised by its rivals. Our transport correspondent | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
David Miller reports. An $80 million aircraft landing at | :11:09. | :11:20. | |
an airport bought for just ?1 will stop a reminder of the scale of | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
Prestwick's problems. But we are told there are big opportunities | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
here as well. Prestwick's main runway is huge, one of the longest | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
anywhere in the United Kingdom. The airport supporters say that | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
underlines this place's importance, not only to the Ayrshire economy, | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
but to the economy of Scotland as a whole. The predicted costs of our? | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
More than ?15 million. The government's goal, to avert | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
closure, safeguard jobs, and return the airport to the private sector. | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
The Scottish Government is making an investment in the airport, which | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
will be in the form of loan funding, and we require to generate | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
a long-term return for taxpayers' money. Changing the name would | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
undoubtedly be a welcome move locally, but we need to promote and | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
market Glasgow Prestwick Airport to airlines and passengers across the | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
world. Prestwick is not being used to the fold by Eddie M in history or | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
commercial interests. Prestwick has had tough times before, and always | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
relied on strong public support in a ship. Passenger numbers were 2.4 | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
million before the recession struck, and I am optimistic that we will | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
return to those figures at some point in the future, and perhaps | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
exceed them. But investing in the ageing facilities here at Prestwick | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
is causing real concern for bosses at Scotland's to tedious airports, | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
Edinburgh and Glasgow. It will take a long time to persuade us that | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
growing passenger traffic at Prestwick will not be to the | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
disadvantage of Glasgow, and indeed, Edinburgh airport. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
Prestwick's staunchest critics argue it should have been allowed to | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
close, but ministers are adamant it can have a viable future. | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
In recent weeks, world figures including President Obama, the Pope | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
and yesterday the Chinese premier have entered the Scottish | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Pro-union campaigners say most leaders want to keep the UK | :13:25. | :13:51. | |
Campbell assesses the impact of these high profile interventions. | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
It is the buzz this place has created by calling an independence | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
referendum that is attracting global attention. International journalists | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
turn out for briefings by the UK and Scottish governments. A lot of | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
Norwegians feel quite close to Scotland and the UK, so they are | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
quite eager to see how things are. I think there is interest on different | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
levels. First, it is interesting, because it is a historical event. As | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
well as international interests, there are interventions as well, | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
most recently from China. When Chinese panda diplomacy sent to | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
bears to Edinburgh, Alex Salmond was in Beijing to personally thank the | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
then Vice Premier. He had already been hosted in Scotland by the First | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
Minister. But their power in London with David Cameron on Tuesday, Mr | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
Lee back a strong, prosperous and United United Kingdom. In response, | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
the First Minister said the Chinese leader was entitled to his view, | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
noting he had also promised to respect the choice that Scottish | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
voters make. But this is not the first overseas intervention. The | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
Premier's comments echo those of Barack Obama. Vladimir Putin of | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
Russia was more cautious, stressing that the referendum is a domestic | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
issue by the UK. Chancellor Merkel of Germany said it was a | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
hypothetical question she did not want to answer. The president of | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
Iceland said independence can be a road towards prosperity. So, does it | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
matter what the rest of the world thinks? I think it is a reminder to | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
voters that this is serious. This is probably the biggest decision we | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
will ever take, and I guess it is a reminder that the world is watching, | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
and we need to get this 100% right, because it is irreversible. I think | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
powerful people often have a preference or an interest or thinks | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
staying the same. I think the people of Scotland are pretty clear that | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
they want things to change, and that is what is moving them towards yes. | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
Anyone can have a view, but in the end, it is for Scottish voters to | :15:57. | :15:57. | |
decide. A look at other stories | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
from across the country. Brad Pitt is backing | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
a fundraising appeal for the fire-damaged | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
Glasgow School of Art. The actor, who has a keen interest | :16:04. | :16:04. | |
in architecture, took his family to visit Mackintosh's work while | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
filming in Scotland three years ago. He and fellow actor Peter Capaldi | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
will be trustees of the new fund. Average speed cameras on the A9 are | :16:12. | :16:15. | |

A life-jacket designed to give people more time to escape | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
a helicopter crash on water is being tested in Aberdeen. | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
It's been developed as part of new safety measures being | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
installed in aircraft supplying North Sea oil and gas platforms. | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
It follows a series of fatal accidents in recent years. | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
Here's our Transport Correspondent Richard Westcott. | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
August last year, and this is the dramatic rescue after a helicopter | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
comes down in the North Sea near Shetland. You can see the wheels as | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
the aircraft flipped over. Four people lost their lives. For the | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
survivors, it was a harrowing experience. There was this almighty | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
crash. When I came to, I realised I was upside down, submerged in | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
water, released my seat belt, and I pretty much swam through the window | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
and gave it a couple of kicks, broke the surface of the water, and that's | :18:28. | :18:36. | |
when I realised I was OK. You can't recreate the fear of a | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
real crash, but this training can simulate being trapped in a | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
helicopter upside down. Thousands of offshore workers are | :18:44. | :18:55. | |
about to be given a new life jacket that could help save lives. The BBC | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
is going to be the first to try it out, but first, I had to be trained | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
using the life jacket everyone has at the moment. It's intimidating! | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
It's very intimidating. I am disorientated. It is everything you | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
would imagine. And this is just in a swimming pool. And breathe out. With | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
the current life jacket, you eventually had to re-breathe your | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
own air underwater. The new jacket, to be on helicopters within weeks, | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
has a separate maniac will own, like a scuba diver. | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
The unions have welcomed the new kit, which is part of dozens of | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
changes being brought in by this safety regulator. I am not a diver, | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
but I have to say, that is a lot easier to use. I felt a lot more | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
confident. It is so much nicer breathing in compressed air, nice | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
and cool in your lungs. But many survivors like James also want more | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
done to stop the accidents in the first place. Why are these | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
helicopters falling out of the sky? That is the question. It isn't about | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
the survivability rate of after the event, falling in the ocean. Back to | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
the training pool, and the worst test of all. Wind, waves, | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
lightning, rain, and upside down. And dark. | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
It is hoped the new jacket will give workers a better chance of survival | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
if they ever have two faced this in the future. | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Thousands of people have turned out in the Borders to see the | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
Queen's Commonwealth Games Baton pass through on the fifth day | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
The relay has been travelling from Duns to Hawick via Melrose, | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
The baton will have travelled through 70 nations and territories | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
before it reaches the opening ceremony at Celtic Park on July 23. | :20:50. | :21:01. | |
Half and our main sports story focuses on the location. Over to | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
you. The Celtic manager Ronny Deila says | :21:05. | :21:05. | |
he's confident his newly appointed assistant manager John Collins | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
and club captain Scott Brown will be able to sort out any differences | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
they had in the past. Deila was a guest of honour today at | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
a well established charity event. The Celtic manager wouldn't have | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
been expecting this when he woke up this morning. But then, the Glasgow | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
taxi fund's outing to Troon for sick children is usually a high spirited | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
affair. Ronny Dai Lo was expecting to face questions from reporters, | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
though, like was it his idea to appoint John Collins as assistant | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
manager? It is, of course, my choice. We had a lot of options, but | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
for me, it was important to get a guy who knows Scottish football, and | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
is a good name for Celtic and the whole club. Collins was Hibs manager | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
seven years ago, when there was a short lived player revolt. The | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
current Celtic Captain Scott Brown was in the Hibs team back then. | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
Could their relationship proved the gold? I talked with Scott about what | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
I am thinking to do, and we are agreeing everything, so if they have | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
something in the past, they are grown-up people, and I know that | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
will be no trouble. Taxi drivers are seldom short of opinions, so what do | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
Celtic minded cabbies make of a dealer/Collins double act? Hotdog | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
and mustard. What a winning combination. John Collins and Ronny | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
Deila, will that were? He knew we were coming today, so that is why we | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
have dressed like this. Collins a lot of European experience, which | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
Deila does not. His ceremonial duties over, the countdown is on to | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
Ronny Deila's first so that would season as Celtic manager. | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
Scotland have made eleven changes for Friday's international | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
Grant Gilchrist will lead the side, becoming | :23:02. | :23:19. | |
the youngest player to captain Scotland since Gregor | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
Townsend 18 years ago. Now, a look at what else is happening across | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
Andy Murray is third seed on Monday. It means you will avoid facing | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
Djokovic on adult all the semifinals. The Ryder Cup at | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
Gleneagles is just over 100 days away. | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
European captain Paul McGinley has page view to those making plans | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
behind-the-scenes. Every four years, we play at home, and I see them as | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
part of the European success. The more fun that people are having, | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
whether at be a chef or setting up the stands, whatever, they are | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
setting the scene for us to come on stage in September and overly | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
entertain everybody. Edinburgh Rugby have extended the contract of Sam | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
Beard and another. They have signed until 2015 and | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
2016. Scottish champion gymnast Amy Regan | :24:06. | :24:07. | |
is making good progress recovering from a broken ankle. The 19-year-old | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
is aiming for a medal at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Hopefully, | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
I can qualify for the final, and qualify for the floor and vault | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
final. Hopefully, I can medal on one of those. I can hopefully go wrong, | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
if not three better. Read about Ronny Deila, the rugby and so much | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
more on our website. That is it. I will never forget the | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
day I interviewed a hotdog! Thank you. | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
Coming up the show tonight - the Great Housing divide. | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
We've been looking at what your money can buy in London | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
and Glasgow and why one size fits all interest rates could hurt | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
But would it be any different post-independence? | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
And we've been to Spain to meet the Catalans who see our referendum | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
as an inspiration and the politicians who say they might try | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
So the weather now, things are looking up, because Judith is on the | :25:05. | :25:20. | |
roof. Yes, that of a breeze blowing here, but a warm breeze. It has been | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
a lovely one day. In fact, it looks like we have seen the highest bidder | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
the year, 26.5 Celsius in Perthshire, and many places seen 25 | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
or 26 of these inland. As far as tonight goes, we are holding onto | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
warm sunshine. Sharp showers across the Angus area will continue to die | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
away. Dry overnight, although cloud will continue to thicken up across | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
the north of the country. A much different feel to tonight. Last | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
night was terribly humid, but tonight, around 12 or 13 Celsius, so | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
a lot pressure than we have notice of late. Into tomorrow, we held onto | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
quite windy conditions across the Northern Ireland 's. Try | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
across-the-board. Cloudy in the North, and we have got pretty good | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
spells of sunshine across southern part of the country. Into the | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
afternoon, try, bright, sunny weather across south-west Scotland | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
and the inner Hebrides. Temperatures not too bad, not as bad as today, | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
but still 20, or maybe even 22 Celsius. Towards the north-west, | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
thicker cloud. Things might be a little cooler, 16 or 17 Celsius. | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
Cooler across the northern isles and breezy here as well. A cooler day | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
here, but we should cease in good spells of sunshine, especially | :26:38. | :26:39. | |
around the Edinburgh area, and inland parts of the Borders. Through | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
the evening, we held onto drier conditions. Cloud will tend to | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
thicken up across northern parts. The high-pressure responsible for | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
the settled weather moves away slightly to the West, allowing some | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
weather fronts to push in across northern Scotland as we head towards | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
the weekend. That will bring thicker cloud to these parts, certainly | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
across southern parts, we hold onto mainly dry, bright, sunny conditions | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
across the South on Friday, although cloudy in the north. Breezy in the | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
North as well, and a cooler feel across northern Scotland. | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
Temperatures certainly on the cooler side than we have seen of late, but | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
still 17, 18 degrees, pretty good for the time of year. That is your | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
weather forecast. You can come down now. Thank you, | :27:24. | :27:31. | |
Judith. And now, a reminder tonight's main news. | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
Visitors to the Commonwealth Games are being duped into spending | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
hundreds of pounds on accommodation that doesn't exist. Police are | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
investigating a number of bogus online companies offering rooms in | :27:43. | :27:44. | |
Glasgow. The Iraqi Prime Minister has urged | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
Iraqis to unite against sunny militants who have taken control | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
against their word of large parts of the north of the country, and have | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
spent all day battling to control its largest oil refinery. | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
The government in Baghdad has made a formal request to the US to launch | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
formal air strikes against the militants. That on the news channel. | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
And that is Reporting Scotland so far. There will be more in our main | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
evening bulletin, at 10:35 p.m.. Until then, from everyone on the | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
team, enjoy the rest of your evening. Goodbye. | :28:19. | :28:22. |
