One we It's official, Team Scotland's most | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
successful Commonwealth Games ever. A silver for our gymnasts | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
means we now have 34 medals. -- 35. I loved it, every single | :00:16. | :00:28. | |
second. I came out of retirement for this and I could not think of a | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
better way. The crowd were fantastic and I am so proud of the boys. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
And we're on target in the shooting too, | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
as Jen McIntosh also takes silver. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
We'll be live with the latest on our record-breaking medal haul. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
An 85-year-old woman seriously injured in an attack at her home | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
More people are buying and selling their homes in Scotland | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
And we are alive at a Wendy Glasgow Green and it has not just been about | :00:52. | :01:10. | |
the sport for the last few days. We will show you what else is going on | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
in the city. . -- windy. Team Scotland's medals tally makes | :01:13. | :01:27. | |
this their most successful ever. The tipping point came this morning | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
at the gymnastics, when the men's Our Commonwealth Games reporter | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
Jane Lewis is there for us tonight. Also, Jim Mackintosh has won a | :01:33. | :01:51. | |
silver. -- Jennifer Mackintosh. A brilliant and historic moment took | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
place behind me earlier today. Never before had a Scottish gymnastics | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
team won any kind of medal at any Commonwealth Games. But on day six | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
of these games, Glasgow 2014, that all changed. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Over two days of competition in the main's team event and Scotland were | :02:11. | :02:23. | |
up against this man. Louis Smith of the Strictly Come Dancing game. | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Scotland were well-placed overnight, lying on the silver medal position. | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
And Adam Cox made sure they were off to a solid start. COMMENTATOR: That | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
was a sound opening for Scotland. People support got behind the team. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
There was polite applause from others. The high bar at the vault | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
were also on the programme for data. England continued to dominate, | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
despite Sam Oldham having to exit the competition. -- programme for | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
today. Daniel Purvis -Allenby medal from the team event but was helping | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
Scotland to ensure silver did not slip away. -- has a medal from the | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
team event. A silver medal for Scotland and a historic one at that. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
It feels like a repeat of the Olympics. And doing it for a home | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
crowd was absolutely unbelievable. The crowd let you and it is | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
impossible to have your head down because it pushed us. Were you able | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
to enjoy it? I loved every second! I came out of retirement for this and | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
I cannot imagine a better way. The crowd was fantastic and I am so | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
proud of the boys. I am honoured to be part of the first team to win a | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
silver medal. Are you getting a bit emotional? We had a few mistakes but | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
we kept on supporting each other and got through with it. It is certainly | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
great and it is a first for Scottish gymnastics. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
Those gymnasts we heard from in that peace will be shortly, if it is not | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
already happening, will be getting their hands on those silver medals | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
behind me. It is fair to say that Scotland's medal tally during these | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Commonwealth Games is looking very, very healthy indeed. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Unlike satellite feed. It's only day six | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
of the competition but already organisers of the next Commonwealth | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Games in Australia are looking at So with just about enough time to | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
draw breath between medals, our Commonwealth Games reporter, | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Lisa Summers has been taking stock. The Royal family were in town, | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
looking on at hand in as the poster girl of these games made her first | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
appearance. The comfortable win in the years. COMMENTATOR: Just going | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
down into the last hurdle and she can ease off a little if she wants | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
to. I have been sitting watching it and I asked Laura yesterday how it | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
felt to go out and I have just been dying to get it out of the way and | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
get a feel for the act is real. It is quite nerve-wracking watching it | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
happening. COMMENTATOR: He will win it by ten metres and more. -- and | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
get a feel for the atmosphere. There was a gold medal yesterday forced | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
team Scotland also. It was incredible. The crowd was supportive | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
and it was overwhelming. -- there was a gold medal for Team Scotland | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
yesterday also. There has been a gold rush for Scotland. At the | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
halfway point, we were already better than ever before. Judo has | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
been the best event but plenty of medals have come from the swimming. | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
It has been world-class. We started off with Hannah Miley winning the | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
gold. And then we went on to Ross Murdoch taking the 200 metres | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
breaststroke Murdoch taking the 200 metres | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
world record. When people say that Scotland does not produce | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
world-class swimmers, we do! But ask any of the athletes what has driven | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
them on. Whenever a Scottish swimmer is in the pool, the crowd go crazy. | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
That is Hannah Miley in behind us and they will go berserk if she wins | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
a medal! There have been some problems. Spectators go missed | :06:31. | :06:40. | |
events after some transport problems will get refunds. Hang onto any | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
evidence that you could not get to the games. I guess 700,000 people | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
coming in over the weekend, we will do better next time. And that is | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
something that the Australian people are already trying to bottle for | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
their games in 2014 -- 2018. It is amazing how the local crowd and | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
support inspires athletes. We have seen that again. The performance has | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
been sensational of the Scottish swimmers. We hope that we see the | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
reverse and a lot more medals coming to Australia! The superstars are in | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
town. We are in town. We're only halfway through the show. Even the | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
weather is still being the game. As we told you, Mackintosh won her | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
second medal of the game is a short time ago. She has added that silver | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
to her bronze that she won yesterday. | :07:40. | :07:40. | |
Let's go to the Barry Budden Shooting Centre | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
Good evening. For a medal from this centre at Glasgow 2014. Not quite in | :07:43. | :07:54. | |
the name medals they received four years ago but a fantastic | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
performance all the same. That last model to make comes in the last day | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
of the shooting and it comes to this woman. Well done, fantastic. Thank | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
you very much. It is absolutely amazing and I am delighted. How was | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
it? The conditions were pretty tricky. It was pretty tough, which I | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
was kind of pleased about this morning because that is one of my | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
strong points, coping in conditions like that and the wind. It was not | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
easy. Did you go into today thinking that you might get a gold or silver? | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
I know that yesterday would you were happy to get the bronze but a little | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
bit disappointed. I knew happy to get the bronze but a little | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
performed to the best of happy to get the bronze but a little | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
abilities that any medal was well within my capabilities but the | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
question of going out and doing it within my capabilities but the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
was a completely different matter. I am delighted to have done the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
business, really. You went into that final | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
business, really. You went into that was tremendous. Standing in | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
gold-medal position at one point but the Singapore contestant | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
gold-medal position at one point but strong on the table that is becoming | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
she is fantastic. She is always making finals and so I am not | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
surprised that she beat me. How has this been for you? | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
surprised that she beat me. How has incredible to be part of this team, | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
to get your father incredible to be part of this team, | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
I saw you give your mum a huge part at the end. She will be thrilled. | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
You have now beaten her because you are Scotland's most decorated every | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
female in a Commonwealth Games. How does that feel? And dad, how does it | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
feel? Be happy and brilliant to get a medal. You are a team manager but | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
also her father. Delighted to have had both doctors in the team and | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
great to come back with a couple of medal. Well done. The name, I would | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
say in shooting, is Mackintosh. Thank you very much. | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
Team Scotland's swimmers have been outstanding at these | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
Commonwealth Games with three gold, two silver and four bronze - a total | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Tonight is the last swimming session of the Games | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
and Rhona McLeod is there to tell us if more medals are possible. | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
Just have a look at this for confidence, | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
A fantastic swim there and that's the South African superstar | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
Wallace qualified in second place for the final | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
And Scotland's other 400m gold medallist Hannah Miley | :10:35. | :10:48. | |
She is back in action tonight, contesting the 400m freestyle, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
and qualifies for tonight's final with the fifth fastest time. | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
A great Games for Miley, with a gold and bronze medal to her credit. | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
Just to wrap up the swimming for tonight - | :11:01. | :11:11. | |
-- it is getting excited and I am here with Dan Wallace's father. Are | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
you nervous? The finals are so nerve-wracking. We all get so | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
excited and worked up. We do not watch his starts. There are so much | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
going on. Have you been surprised? You have been knowing how the | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
training is going but we have had a beautiful performance from him. It | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
was very scary the way he did it! I honestly had no expectations. If you | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
had got on the podium, I would have been very happy. After the world | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
chamionships, where he did so well, we started to think it was a | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
possibility. And the training in America has been so good that I did | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
think something was there but I did not think a Commonwealth Games | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
record was there. That love always. For people like him and Ross | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Murdoch, they could become council names, which they were not at the | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
start of this. -- household names. In the swimming fraternity, had he | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
been surprised that this? Absolutely. With Dan being in | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
America and off the radar and dizzying with Ross, the noise that | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
it has generated, all of Team Scotland has been great and he is | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
now a household celebrity, which is bizarre. He is enjoying it, thriving | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
on it and more calm and composed than anybody else that I know. We | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
hope you enjoy it and it just as much and good luck to him tonight. | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
Thank you very much. Just to let you know, there are six medal | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
opportunities tonight. Let me run through them for you, | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
As well as Hannah Miley and Dan Wallace, Katherine Dawson is in the | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
Stephen Milne is looking good for a medal in the 1500m freestyle. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
He qualified in second place for the final. | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
And both men's and women's Scotland team are in the final events of | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
So Scotland looking good to build on the medal tally from Tollcross. | :13:05. | :13:15. | |
More news on that in tonight's late bulletin. | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
An 85-year-old woman who was seriously injured in an attack | :13:19. | :13:31. | |
A man appeared in court yesterday charged | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
Gestures of affection for the elderly lady who had lived here | :13:35. | :13:46. | |
since she was a child. There is immense sadness that L died at | :13:47. | :13:55. | |
Edinburgh Royal infirmary yesterday. -- Eleanor. She had been there after | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
being treated for injuries after being attacked inside her own home. | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
I feel very sad about it. I think it is terrible that it should happen to | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
anybody. I am sorry. This community is stunned by news of her death. It | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
is really difficult when it is so close by and it is a member of the | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
community and very sad. Our thoughts are with her family. We were hoping | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
that she would pull through. Very sad. It is not something you expect | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
to happen in this area. Yesterday, a 22-year-old man was charged with | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
attempted murder and assault and in of life. He made no plea and was | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
remanded in custody pending a further court appearance next duty. | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
Police say this is now being treated as murder. -- next juicy. | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
Two men jailed for life for abducting, torturing and murdering | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
financial advisor Lynda Spence have lost an appeal against their | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
Colin Coates and Philip Wade, both 43, were jailed for a minimum of 33 | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
Their appeals focused on use of alleged inadmissible evidence and | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
Lynda Spence, who was 27, was last seen in Glasgow in 2011. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
The discovery of a jar of potassium cyanide in an Edinburgh | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
flat forced the closure of a section of the city centre this | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
afternoon as fire fighters declared a "chemical incident." | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
A woman was clearing out her father's home in Palmerston Place | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
when she came across the highly toxic substance, that was | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
The Fire and Rescue Service said there was no danger to | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
the public but closed the road while the chemical was disposed of. | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
The average price of a home in Scotland rose by almost 6% | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
in the last year, according to the latest figures. | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
There's also been a sharp increase in the number of | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
Our business correspondent David Henderson can tell us more. | :15:49. | :15:59. | |
Window shopping for his first flat. For a while, Jonathan has wanted to | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
get his foot on the property ladder. He has been saving and looking for a | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
good deal. I might be happier for the first couple of years going on | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
to a higher mortgage, with a lower deposit, to have more money to redo | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
the house. If I deposit, to have more money to redo | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
garden or bathroom. Others are choosing to dip a tool in the | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
property market. The number of people taking out a mortgage is back | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
on the rise, according to figures from the Bank of England. That is | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
helping drive up sales. In recent months, there has been a rise in the | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
number of flats and houses coming on the market. That is a big change. | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
Since the credit crunch six years ago, many people have struggled to | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
get the mortgage they need to claim the property ladder. In Scotland, | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
generally, prices are going up steadily. They have recouped the | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
amount they lost since 2007. Generally, I think the market is | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
pretty positive. We are seeing demand rising. Rising, but not | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
everywhere. The property market is hot in some places and cooler in | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
others. We have seen prices rise by more than 10% in several parts, with | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
temperature topping the lead. Writers fill elsewhere, and were | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
down sharply in Midlothian. There is increased confidence and the economy | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
seems to be growing and all of the messages coming are positive. So I | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
think that people suddenly feel that property is a good investment and | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
are keen to get back in the market. With mortgage lending on the river | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
and finds the economy is picking on, the market is beginning to revive. | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
It has been a long wait for buyers and sellers. | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
A two-year-old girl was taken to hospital in Dundee after she was | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Police and an ambulance crew were called to | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
Brownhill Place, in the Charleston area of the city, last night. | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
The girl was taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
Officers seized the "Husky-type" dog and inquiries are ongoing. | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
Some types of cancer are being detected | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
Figures released by the statistics division of the NHS suggest that 24% | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
of breast, lung and bowel cancers were detected early in 2012 | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
and 2013, and increase of nearly 5% on the previous two years. | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
However there is a continued increase | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
in cancer cases, with around 30,000 people diagnosed with it in 2011. | :18:24. | :18:33. | |
There's 15,000 of them, they work long hours, for no pay - but they | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
The volunteers, or 'Clydesiders' are the friendly | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
faces that greet you at the venues and work behind the scenes. | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
Suzanne Allan went to meet two of them. | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
Hello, Glasgow. This is the kind of welcome you will get at Glasgow | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
Airport. Just arriving for work is one of them, a transport leader. His | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
job is to make sure athletes and dignitaries get into the red cars | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
and buses. He is loving dignitaries get into the red cars | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
what surprised him most is dignitaries get into the red cars | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
I was quite staggered the dignitaries get into the red cars | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
somebody arrived and we had to get the pole vault to | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
somebody arrived and we had to get of the athletes have their own | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
bicycles. His favourite so far? Dame Kelly Holmes. | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
bicycles. His favourite so far? Dame stopped to speak to us. We had Billy | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
Connolly come through and he was once again stopped to talk to us all | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
and we got a photograph taken with him. That was very nice. Two weeks | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
ago, in Paris, Pauline said goodbye to her daughter. You see, she lives | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
in Perth, Australia. She applied to be a volunteer from 9000 miles away. | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
-- in parents. I got an e-mail through and burst into tears. I | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
-- in parents. I got an e-mail so excited. Fast forward to today | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
and she is working in accreditation. That is making sure everyone | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
involved in the games as the right to security pass. I have loved it. | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
The first few days were a bit overwhelming but I have settled into | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
it and met a heap of people. So many I cannot remember their names! We | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
had a Scottish athlete yesterday getting her hair done because they | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
could not get a hair dresser. That was pretty cool. Back at the | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
airport, it is break time. 15,000 volunteers may sound like a lot but | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
when you take into account 50,000 applied, these people think they are | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
the lucky ones. It's not just | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
the sport that has brought people Thousands have spilled into the city | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
this week to soak up the atmopshere. Catriona Renton is at Glasgow Green | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
tonight. Welcome to Glasgow Green. The | :20:59. | :21:14. | |
weather has maybe not been quite what we had been used to over the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
last couple of days but my goodness, that has not stopped people coming | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
down. Over 30,000 people have been here just to this venue today. It is | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
not just about the sport, as you were saying. There are all sorts of | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
things going on. Culture, music, fashion, dance and probably | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
something for everybody. I have been so lucky today to get a look around | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
the city to see what you have all been up to. First of all, I went to | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
see why everybody is Colin Glasgow the friendly city. | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
-- is saying that Glasgow. This bike shop has helped the Friendly Games | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
end their -- are never be decent. A few days ago, a few members of the | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
Malawi team took their bikes to be repaired. But staff decided they | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
were not in good enough condition that gave them to bicycles. Today, | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
they are welcoming members from the teams from Antigua and St Vincent. | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
The people are very nice and pretty excited for the games. Anywhere you | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
go in the city, they just clapped and wave. All of the kids are | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
pointing out so it is pretty fun at the moment. As they head to Glasgow | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
Green, so do we. Tens of thousands have come here over the past few | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
days. Whether it is for that photograph or just to soak up the | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
atmosphere. It is great to see everybody enjoying themselves. | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
Hundreds of people having a great time. Everybody friendly, talking to | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
each other. Except for him! They have been looking around and buying | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
stuff. It is lovely to come out with the family and be relaxed and enjoy | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
everything that is going on. We ran against Usain Bolt. Who won? I was | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
right behind him! And then on Kelvingrove and the newly | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
refurbished Bandstand. The Glasgow senior citizens orchestra were in | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
full flight when we got here. Security were enjoying the music. As | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
where the crowd. We are doing the tour. We have been at Glasgow Green, | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
the merchant city, the BBC, so we had not been to this part so that we | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
would come along here. It may not be the glorious sunshine that we had | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
yesterday and you can see that some of us have had to get our wrinkled | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
vote, but we are not going to let that dampen our spirits. And then it | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
was on to the BBC building. A stunt rider was entertaining the crowds. | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
-- had to get our raincoats out. There is pretty much something for | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
everyone. It is classical night here at Glasgow Green. At the moment, a | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
string quartet are on stage. Later, the RSA -- the Royal Scottish | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
National Orchestra. I found some friends. What do you think? | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
CHEERING I think they are saying to come on | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
down to Glasgow Green. I think we heard them! | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
Now, just before we get the weather with Judith, a quick look at what | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
The world is watching Glasgow right now. But no one mentions the slave | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
trade that built so much of the city. That means they are strong | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
links between Glasgow and some of our competitors like Jamaica but | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
people do not like to talk about it. We will add it in 30 PM. | :24:42. | :24:54. | |
-- at 10:30pm. It was barely warm across parts of Scotland today. | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
Still holding on the warm sunshine in the East. Cloudier in the West, | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
with a few showers here and the Northern Isles. Cloud increasing and | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
showers keep coming in over the night. They will become more | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
frequent as the night goes on. Dry across eastern areas, with some | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
clear spells. Quite breezy as well. Those brought on by a brisk, | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
westerly wind, particularly across the North. Tomorrow morning, quite | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
breezy but try and break in the East. Those showers across Western | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
and Northern areas will be fairly frequent initially but it is an | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
improving day, as the showers diminish. In the afternoon, a much | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
drier picture although there will still be lying showers in some | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
places but they will clearly. Some sunshine for Galloway, Lanarkshire | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
and Glasgow. Temperature is about average for a time of year. The main | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
focus of any showers for the Northwest and there is still some | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
brightness on coastal areas and an improving afternoon for the Northern | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
Isles. Good spells sunshine expected for the Aberdeenshire area down | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
towards Angus, Fife and the Borders. 21 Celsius here. It could be another | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
warm day. As we head into the evening, we lose the showers in the | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
West and has some dry, bright sunny spells. Eventually, those brisk | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
winds easing down. We will see quite a showery regime on Thursday, if you | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
like. This area of low pressure throwing out heavier showers to come | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
for the country but in between them, the winds are lighter. We will see | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
longer spells sunshine and longer drier spells also. When you do catch | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
a shallow, it could be funded. Over the next couple of days for the | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
games, starting off with a few showers in the morning but drier | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
afternoon and winds easing on Thursday. | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
Now, a reminder of tonight's main news: | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
Halfway through the Commonwealth Games, this is Team Scotland's most | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
successful games ever. The men's team in the gymnastics cleaned a | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
silver and in the last hour, silver in their rifles. | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
More than 100 Palestinians are said to have been killed in Israeli air | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
strikes on Gaza. Israel carried out 60 air strikes overnight, targeting | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
flavourful seated with Hamas, the Islamist group which controls Gaza. | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
The bombardment continued this afternoon. -- targeting places of | :27:31. | :27:39. | |
Hamas. We will be back later. Good night. | :27:40. | :27:55. | |
Oh, well. As Vashrati says, gotta keep smiling! | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
I leave the ashram, travel halfway across the world to find my father, | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
Oh, well. As Vashrati says, gotta keep smiling! | :28:04. | :28:07. |
