blown out of the water at the moment.

from the closure one of its oldest Ferguson Shipbuilders employed

:01:06.:01:28.

people here on the Clyde for 110 years,

:01:29.:01:33.

but today the business went bust For more than a century, ships have

:01:34.:01:54.

been built here, and now it comes to this. The last shipyard on the lower

:01:55.:01:58.

Clyde closed, workers in tears on the doorstep after being told they

:01:59.:02:03.

and 70 others were out of a job. I was really looking forward to my

:02:04.:02:06.

future, I had really, really bright hopes and I could travel the world

:02:07.:02:11.

and make a really good career for myself, set a good standard for the

:02:12.:02:18.

generation below me that wants to take up this kind of industry and

:02:19.:02:22.

all of that seems to have been blown out of the water at the moment. This

:02:23.:02:27.

morning started like any other, then bosses called a mass meeting and

:02:28.:02:31.

told staff that business had collapsed. The gates were closed,

:02:32.:02:36.

perhaps for the last time, Keys turned in the padlocks, and a mighty

:02:37.:02:40.

operation which spanned the generations came grinding to a halt.

:02:41.:02:47.

Complete shock, and a few tears. It is a family yard, fathers, sons,

:02:48.:02:54.

brothers, six or seven apprentices with their time still to be

:02:55.:02:59.

finished, so it is a matter of when we can get them placed side vision

:03:00.:03:04.

people can have a future. I the Lords reminder of what once was,

:03:05.:03:08.

this was the last vessel to be worked on at the Ferguson yard. Now

:03:09.:03:15.

it stands empty and half finished. This firm relied on commercial

:03:16.:03:21.

contracts, not work from the Navy. Its last big deal was for two

:03:22.:03:24.

passenger ferries, but business dried up. The shipyard's closure is

:03:25.:03:33.

a bitter blow for Port Glasgow, as an iconic business hits the rocks

:03:34.:03:37.

and an era comes to an end and some of this town's history has just been

:03:38.:03:39.

lost. In response to the news,

:03:40.:03:43.

political leaders promised to pursue A joint taskforce has

:03:44.:03:45.

been established by the Scottish Government

:03:46.:03:50.

and Inverclyde Council. This from our political editor

:03:51.:03:54.

Brian Taylor. If shipbuilding on the Clyde, once

:03:55.:04:12.

majestic, once globally dominant. From the Clyde, came 103 ships. But

:04:13.:04:18.

after decades of decline, still symbolic of a wider determination to

:04:19.:04:24.

sustain Scottish industry. Only this week, by cruel irony, there was a

:04:25.:04:29.

huge political battle over the future of Clydeside warship orders.

:04:30.:04:34.

Today, as that Walker's argument subsided, the only remaining

:04:35.:04:37.

commercial yard on the River slipped into administration. Sad, shopping,

:04:38.:04:47.

depressing. It is the last remaining shipyard and is important to the

:04:48.:04:50.

local economy and the morale and well-being of this community -- sad

:04:51.:04:55.

and shocking. They are very proud of this shipyard and what it has

:04:56.:04:59.

achieved over many years. We will not let it go without a fight. For

:05:00.:05:06.

Ferguson's with impastoed is gone, the political focus was on finding

:05:07.:05:11.

answers. Any and says -- with pasta orders gone. Scottish ministers have

:05:12.:05:15.

set up a task force with the local council and hope for progress. We

:05:16.:05:21.

will do anything and explore all options, we want to see the

:05:22.:05:24.

continuation of commercial shipbuilding on the Clyde and every

:05:25.:05:29.

option will be considered, but it is important for the task force to be

:05:30.:05:33.

established and look at what the options are. The Scottish Government

:05:34.:05:35.

will be providing all possible assistance to that process. Scenes

:05:36.:05:40.

of desolation like this are a reminder of what the Clyde has lost

:05:41.:05:45.

them the decades, but politically, the future I'll shipbuilding in

:05:46.:05:48.

Scotland will always be contentious because politically, it is iconic,

:05:49.:05:54.

given its history. But tonight, the firm focus of all politicians on all

:05:55.:05:59.

sides of the debate is about protecting jobs on the upper Clyde

:06:00.:06:01.

and now on the lower Clyde as protecting jobs on the upper Clyde

:06:02.:06:10.

and now on the lower Clyde With me now is Robert Moran, a former ship

:06:11.:06:15.

worker and now provost of Inverclyde. You know the shipyards

:06:16.:06:21.

along the Clyde to me you know this one, how important is it? Very

:06:22.:06:26.

important, not just to the local economy but to the wider Scottish

:06:27.:06:30.

economy. We do have a lot of ferries operating in Scotland and they will

:06:31.:06:35.

come up for renewal, and if we have to replace the ships, why not

:06:36.:06:40.

replace them here in Scotland? That is the importance of the shipyard.

:06:41.:06:46.

It has got a niche market. I was recently at the launch of the new

:06:47.:06:50.

two types of ferries that they launched, they run on batteries and

:06:51.:06:54.

engines, environmentally friendly, it takes all of the boxes. We need

:06:55.:06:59.

more of these, I want to see them being built here at Ferguson's. This

:07:00.:07:07.

place has been operational for more than a century, just how important

:07:08.:07:11.

is that for Port Glasgow, for the whole of the Clyde coast? I think it

:07:12.:07:18.

is really important. Just along the road there, I served my

:07:19.:07:22.

apprenticeship. We were the first ever to build an oil tanker into

:07:23.:07:30.

halves, that was so new at the time and it is all gone. This shipyard

:07:31.:07:36.

altered the niche, they built the special protection vessels, small

:07:37.:07:40.

ferries, they were brilliant at it, and I think there is still a place

:07:41.:07:43.

in this day and age for a shipyard like this. Provost, thank you very

:07:44.:07:48.

much like this, Robert Moran, provost of Inverclyde. So tonight at

:07:49.:07:55.

the shipyard is closed, the gate is padlocked. It is quite a strange

:07:56.:08:00.

thing. Throughout today, the sirens had continued to go off, marking the

:08:01.:08:05.

end of each shift, but for the first time in more than a century, there

:08:06.:08:10.

is no workforce to respond to that sound. Let's go back to the studio

:08:11.:08:13.

and join Sally. A 40-year-old woman from Galashiels

:08:14.:08:16.

has been arrested on suspicion of murder and child neglect, following

:08:17.:08:19.

the death of a three-year-old girl. The child was rescued

:08:20.:08:23.

from a swimming pool at a hotel in Lytham St Annes near Blackpool,

:08:24.:08:25.

but later died in hospital. The flags at the Dalmeny hotel are

:08:26.:08:41.

flying at half-mast, a mark of respect for the little girl from

:08:42.:08:44.

Scotland who died on holiday. Paramedics were called at 11 o'clock

:08:45.:08:48.

yesterday morning after child was reported to have drowned in the

:08:49.:08:53.

hotel pool. Before they arrived, Carole Greenwood, a retired

:08:54.:08:56.

lifeguard and member of the hotel's leisure club, intervened. I came to

:08:57.:09:02.

the hotel pool to use it with my grandson and as we came out of the

:09:03.:09:05.

changing rooms, there was an incident on going and, in a

:09:06.:09:08.

nutshell, I noticed there was a child on the bottom and I dived in

:09:09.:09:14.

and rescued the child and followed with resuscitation. She did start to

:09:15.:09:19.

breathe and then the ambulance came, so they took over. The girl was

:09:20.:09:24.

first brought here to Blackpool Victoria Hospital, the nearest

:09:25.:09:29.

medical facility. Then she was sent to the Royal Manchester children's

:09:30.:09:33.

Hospital 40 miles away for more specialised care. There, at 7:55pm

:09:34.:09:38.

yesterday, the nearly nine hours of medical attention, she was

:09:39.:09:43.

pronounced dead. At the hotel, meanwhile, the police investigation

:09:44.:09:48.

got underway. We arrived after the incident happened and as we were

:09:49.:09:51.

checking in, policeman came and spoke to the receptionist and just

:09:52.:09:57.

asked what had gone on and he said someone had been taken away in an

:09:58.:10:02.

ambulance beforehand and the police wanted to check the scene at. And

:10:03.:10:06.

from there, it seemed to snowball a little bit, with lots of other

:10:07.:10:12.

police and CSI people coming up. The woman questioned by the police is 40

:10:13.:10:17.

years old and from Galashiels. She has not been named officially but is

:10:18.:10:22.

believed to be the girl's mother. A Home Office postmortem is being

:10:23.:10:25.

carried out to establish the cause of death.

:10:26.:10:27.

The Scottish Government is opposing plans from Westminster which could

:10:28.:10:29.

see householders lose the right to object to oil and gas companies

:10:30.:10:32.

The decision has been welcomed by anti-fracking campaigners.

:10:33.:10:35.

Here's our environment correspondent, David Miller.

:10:36.:10:43.

Fracking, it is potentially lucrative, but also highly

:10:44.:10:53.

controversial. Its development in the UK has led the environmental

:10:54.:10:56.

campaigners and the industry at loggerheads. Fracking for shale gas

:10:57.:11:02.

or oil typically involves drilling down vertically and then out

:11:03.:11:07.

horizontally, often for more than a mile, to reach shale rock. Water and

:11:08.:11:13.

chemicals are then prompted in at high pressure to release the gas or

:11:14.:11:18.

oil. The UK Government's proposals would give fracking cos the right to

:11:19.:11:22.

drill, regardless of opposition from local residents -- fracking

:11:23.:11:29.

companies, but only at depths below 300 metres. In return, communities

:11:30.:11:35.

would receive payments of ?20,000 per lateral well. We believe this is

:11:36.:11:39.

a matter that should be decided in Scotland by the people of Scotland

:11:40.:11:43.

through elected politicians, not foisted on Scotland like other

:11:44.:11:46.

things have been in the past. This is part of what we have been

:11:47.:11:50.

consulting on and is a conversation I am quite happy to have with any

:11:51.:11:56.

Scottish minister, and I would suggest the sensible way to do it is

:11:57.:12:00.

to lift the phone up and we can talk. Environmental campaigners have

:12:01.:12:06.

welcomed the Scottish Government's intervention. The UK government has

:12:07.:12:09.

been completely gung ho for fracking the whole country and this puts a

:12:10.:12:13.

spoke in the works, because they won't be able to make this change in

:12:14.:12:17.

Scotland and it is also a very clear message for the industry, that

:12:18.:12:20.

Scotland is a place where it will be much harder to do business. Fracking

:12:21.:12:26.

has already revolutionised the energy market in the United States.

:12:27.:12:29.

The industry here argues it also has a vital role to play in meeting the

:12:30.:12:36.

UK's future energy needs and the drilling deeper Underground would

:12:37.:12:39.

have no impact at the surface. The UK government will now consider

:12:40.:12:43.

responses to its proposals before announcing how it plans to proceed.

:12:44.:12:47.

A woman who took ill at Dungavel Detention Centre,

:12:48.:12:49.

in Lanarkshire, has been taken to hospital for tests for Ebola.

:12:50.:12:52.

It's understood she recently arrived in the UK from Sierra Leone.

:12:53.:12:55.

The Home Office is believed to have suspended the detention or release

:12:56.:12:58.

of detainees from Dungavel while the investigation continues.

:12:59.:13:02.

A spokesperson for NHS Lanarkshire said this is a precautionary measure

:13:03.:13:05.

and it would appear at this stage to be highly unlikely the patient will

:13:06.:13:09.

The UK and Scottish environment ministers

:13:10.:13:18.

have met to discuss the impact of Russia's ban on food imports,

:13:19.:13:21.

in response to sanctions over Ukraine.

:13:22.:13:23.

with Scottish mackerel exports to Russia worth millions of pounds.

:13:24.:13:27.

Russian Klondike is. These factory ships were a familiar sight outside

:13:28.:13:45.

Scottish ports until the late 90s. There was a close relationship

:13:46.:13:49.

between the Scottish and Russian fishing industries. Now a trade

:13:50.:13:53.

embargo is putting Scottish mackerel exports to Russia, with ?60 million

:13:54.:13:59.

annually, in jeopardy. This factory is preparing to process around 800

:14:00.:14:03.

tonnes of fish and half the catch would normally go to Russia. The

:14:04.:14:09.

fear is that others will get a strong foothold in the marketplace

:14:10.:14:13.

and we have to compete to get our share back when the ban is lifted.

:14:14.:14:19.

Today at Peterhead harbour, a rare show of unity in this time of

:14:20.:14:24.

fevered political debate over independence. The Scottish and UK

:14:25.:14:27.

governments pledging to work together to help the industry. It is

:14:28.:14:34.

the sector here in Scotland that is most affected, with factories

:14:35.:14:38.

finding perhaps up to 20% of their exports go to Russia, so we have to

:14:39.:14:42.

find alternative markets and other ways of helping the sector cope with

:14:43.:14:46.

this ban. All the Government can do is work with the European Union,

:14:47.:14:49.

work with the Scottish Government, to make sure we have a range of

:14:50.:14:54.

solutions to help. First of all, that is expanding some existing

:14:55.:14:58.

markets, for example, the Far East. China and Japan, there is an

:14:59.:15:06.

expansion in the amount of Blackrock they have been taking, and also

:15:07.:15:08.

looking at countries like Nigeria, opening up those markets. The

:15:09.:15:10.

Scottish fishing industry is facing yet another challenge, but with the

:15:11.:15:20.

global situation changing, the Russians' prediction of the ban

:15:21.:15:31.

lasting a year may be difficult to predict.

:15:32.:15:37.

Let's get the sport though, there are some athletes missing from the

:15:38.:15:41.

parade today for the common wealth games but with good reason, they are

:15:42.:15:48.

in is Europe, competing in the European Championships.

:15:49.:15:50.

Lynsey Sharp defends her 800m title tomorrow,

:15:51.:15:51.

while Eilidh Child's favourite in the final of the 400m hurdles.

:15:52.:15:54.

Another Scot who didn't get a medal at Glasgow 2014 fancies

:15:55.:15:57.

It looks easy enough for Chris O'Hare, but close observation

:15:58.:16:05.

reveals how much effort he put into reaching Sunday's final. The man who

:16:06.:16:09.

finished sixth in Glasgow 2014 reckons he's good for European

:16:10.:16:14.

medal. I'm happy with how it went and I'm glad we have a day in

:16:15.:16:18.

between, gets an easy running down and make sure we try and get a focus

:16:19.:16:25.

on Sunday. He was referring to Charlie Grace, his English

:16:26.:16:30.

team-mate, also in the final. We got the chance of two medals, at least a

:16:31.:16:35.

bronze and silver. And what about Eilidh Child? The Commonwealth Games

:16:36.:16:38.

silver medallist is favourite to take gold in the 400 metres hurdles.

:16:39.:16:44.

It is difficult, so many of us are close together, but even though I am

:16:45.:16:48.

number one, I cannot be complacent. It is very close. Lynsey Sharp is

:16:49.:16:54.

not only favourite in the 800 metres, but the defending European

:16:55.:17:01.

champion. It has been the trip of my life. In 2012, I wasn't in as good

:17:02.:17:07.

as shape as I am now and I did well in the Europeans, so onwards and

:17:08.:17:11.

upwards. It has already been a sparkling season for Scottish

:17:12.:17:14.

athletics. The first place Lynsey Sharp one of our other hopefuls

:17:15.:17:18.

could see it end in that golden glow. There is something different

:17:19.:17:24.

about the first Edinburgh derby this season, it is the first time the

:17:25.:17:29.

sides have met one another in the second tier of Scottish football,

:17:30.:17:36.

but Sunday's game is as important as ever.

:17:37.:17:40.

2014 has been an unusual year in Edinburgh. We have trams that run

:17:41.:17:48.

along the line. Apparently we have a pang that that is pregnant and the

:17:49.:17:51.

two football teams have been relegated from the top flight of

:17:52.:17:57.

Scottish football -- a panda. But on Sunday, these two clubs are the

:17:58.:18:02.

biggest show in town. The new man at charging Hibbs says he knows how

:18:03.:18:08.

important this game is. -- at charge in Hibbs. On Sunday, there is

:18:09.:18:12.

something bigger on it than the festival, and that is the derby. It

:18:13.:18:17.

is great, I am really looking forward to it, and all of the

:18:18.:18:28.

players are. Can't wait. Meanwhile, the new coach at heart says

:18:29.:18:31.

Tynecastle should prove to be the perfect theatre. -- at Hearts. There

:18:32.:18:37.

will be a lot of tension, aggression, and it is important that

:18:38.:18:41.

the players don't get caught up in that, and try and play properly. Two

:18:42.:18:48.

wrists are alien to what is happening at Tynecastle. Do you know

:18:49.:18:54.

what is happening on Sunday in Edinburgh? No. No. Hearts play Hibs.

:18:55.:19:04.

Oh, the local derby. Many have tried to predict the outcome of the local

:19:05.:19:08.

derbies. The crystal ball can't predict an outcome for the winner.

:19:09.:19:13.

If you can't wait until Sunday for your fix of football action, the

:19:14.:19:20.

coverage starts tonight in tennissound, with live coverage of

:19:21.:19:25.

the championship match between Falkirk and Rangers. -- sport sound.

:19:26.:19:31.

Scotland's Commonwealth Games athletes have been

:19:32.:19:33.

on parade through the centre of Glasgow, with thousands of fans

:19:34.:19:35.

lining the route hoping to catch a glimpse of our medal winners.

:19:36.:19:38.

They're now in the centre of the city in George Square and so

:19:39.:19:41.

Sally, just when you thought it was all over, Glasgow is a game tonight

:19:42.:19:52.

gripped by Commonwealth Games fever. A crowd of 5,000 here in George

:19:53.:20:01.

Square. To welcome the athletes at Team Scotland. To say thank you for

:20:02.:20:10.

their efforts during the games. They paraded through the streets of

:20:11.:20:13.

Glasgow and Hugh Williams was with them.

:20:14.:20:20.

Around 200 of the selected to represent Scotland are on these

:20:21.:20:22.

trucks leaving Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery. The parade has been

:20:23.:20:26.

designed as a finale to the games and a chance for Team Scotland to

:20:27.:20:30.

say thank you to the home crowds for all of the support. The crowd

:20:31.:20:36.

roaring me on, I believe that is what got me my medal. I believe it

:20:37.:20:41.

was a great setup they had. It is a big thank you to all of the people

:20:42.:20:45.

who have come along and supported us over the years and to say thank you

:20:46.:20:52.

for them. Glasgow, you were pure dead brilliant. It was called the

:20:53.:20:58.

best Commonwealth Games ever and it delivered some magnificent,

:20:59.:21:02.

memorable moments and Scotland's best ever medal haul, 19 golds out

:21:03.:21:09.

of 53 medals in total. Carrying the flag out into Celtic Park and

:21:10.:21:13.

leading what has now turned out to be Scotland's greatest ever

:21:14.:21:18.

Commonwealth team, there is talk of it being Scotland's greatest ever

:21:19.:21:22.

sports team across the board. When you hear the 6,000 or so people in

:21:23.:21:26.

the emirates, and they are all willing yuan, I don't think I will

:21:27.:21:32.

ever feel that again in my career -- willing yuan. So being here today

:21:33.:21:36.

was a last chance to capture some Commonwealth Games memories and to

:21:37.:21:42.

celebrate Scotland's heroes. We had the last two and a half weeks

:21:43.:21:46.

volunteering at the games, which was fantastic, and Scotland did so well

:21:47.:21:49.

with the medals that we felt a nice way to put a line under it would be

:21:50.:21:55.

to be here and support them. My wife is into this. I was at the games, it

:21:56.:22:02.

was fantastic what they did. Well, I'm delighted to say we are joined

:22:03.:22:06.

by some of the athletes responsible for Scotland's record-breaking medal

:22:07.:22:11.

tally. First of all, Charlie Flynn who took gold in the boxing and

:22:12.:22:16.

became an overnight media and crowd sensation, as you can hear. Have you

:22:17.:22:21.

come down from Cloud nine, or Cloud 99? I am not sure, it is a bit

:22:22.:22:28.

mental, everyone in and about you and the support is unbelievable. Has

:22:29.:22:33.

it sunk in what you managed to do? A wee bit, you sit back and you think,

:22:34.:22:39.

I won gold. But you have not got time with everybody running all

:22:40.:22:43.

about you, it is class. What you think about what was laid on for you

:22:44.:22:48.

today? Unbelievable, I was blown away. The reception we got at George

:22:49.:22:53.

Square was unbelievable, man. 5,000 shed in your name, I am loving it.

:22:54.:22:59.

Judo did equally well, Louise took the gold. What was it with the judo,

:23:00.:23:04.

you were on fire! Yes, after my sister got the gold medal, it got us

:23:05.:23:09.

all hyped up even more, medal at the medal. We have all trained really

:23:10.:23:13.

hard for it, so it was a good performance. You got it off to a

:23:14.:23:17.

great start for Scotland, did you realise the boost you had given the

:23:18.:23:22.

whole team? We didn't realise until we got all of the team together and

:23:23.:23:26.

it was one medal after another. They were feeling the pressure, but the

:23:27.:23:33.

crowd helped as well. Let's talk to a swimmer, Ross Murdoch. What has it

:23:34.:23:37.

been like the last two or three weeks? It has blown me away, all of

:23:38.:23:42.

the support we have had has been incredible. Having the support from

:23:43.:23:47.

all of the other countries has been incredible and Scotland have to be

:23:48.:23:50.

really pleased with what they have done. You have had great support

:23:51.:23:54.

here tonight and over the games. How important was it for you and the

:23:55.:23:58.

rest of the athletes to be in your home city, in your home country? It

:23:59.:24:04.

was a massive for me to perform as part of Team Scotland in my home

:24:05.:24:10.

city, as an an experience I would never have again and I will never

:24:11.:24:14.

forget it. Louise Martin, chairwoman of sport Scotland, how proud you?

:24:15.:24:21.

I'm so proud of everyone, not only the athletes, but all of the

:24:22.:24:25.

services behind them. If we had not had all of these backings, they

:24:26.:24:29.

wouldn't have got the support they needed and they deserve it, to show

:24:30.:24:32.

that the supporters have proud they are. Did you ever in your wildest

:24:33.:24:37.

dreams imagine these games being as successful as they have been? Yes, I

:24:38.:24:42.

did. It is what I thought they would be like, it is what we hoped, and

:24:43.:24:53.

when it started, we saw it happening and it was surreal. The dream came

:24:54.:24:55.

true. Charlie, a final word from you, some of the last two weeks. One

:24:56.:24:59.

word, madness. Thank you very much indeed, that is it, the final

:25:00.:25:07.

farewell for Glasgow 2014. We are left with the memories, and what

:25:08.:25:11.

memories they are. Thank you very much, Andrew. Isn't

:25:12.:25:16.

it great to see them all again, and not an umbrella inside. How is the

:25:17.:25:20.

weather shaping up? Decidedly autumnal this weekend, I

:25:21.:25:24.

am afraid. Hello, it was fairly cloudy across most of the country,

:25:25.:25:29.

some brighter skies, and one or two around this evening, but there is

:25:30.:25:33.

some wet weather on the way. You can see on the chart a weather front

:25:34.:25:36.

arriving across the north-west, bringing a number of showers through

:25:37.:25:40.

the Highlands and Islands overnight, one or two drifting south.

:25:41.:25:47.

Generally, towns and cities dry and temperatures in double digits. The

:25:48.:25:50.

countryside cooler. Tomorrow and Sunday, low pressure is with us,

:25:51.:25:55.

meaning unsettled conditions, cloudy and wet at times and really quite

:25:56.:25:59.

windy the time of year. However, it is not a wet start all. Through the

:26:00.:26:04.

afternoon, this area of rain will move its way south and through the

:26:05.:26:08.

East but fragments as it does so, so the further east you are, the less

:26:09.:26:13.

in a way of wet weather and in the Grampians, some sunshine. But then a

:26:14.:26:19.

strong wind and wet weather across the Southern uplands through the

:26:20.:26:22.

afternoon. The central belt is generally dry and cloudy, further

:26:23.:26:25.

north through the afternoon improving to brighter skies and up

:26:26.:26:30.

to around 20 degrees across parts of Aberdeenshire. Further north and

:26:31.:26:34.

west, cloudy and windy and a number of scattered showers, we will also

:26:35.:26:37.

see these conditions in the Northern Isles. Hill walking and climbing

:26:38.:26:42.

tomorrow, especially across the western ranges, expect wind and sun

:26:43.:26:47.

showers. These are wind speeds, about the top around 70 mph,

:26:48.:26:53.

something to consider if you are walking. Eastern side, not as much

:26:54.:27:00.

wet weather but still very windy. Moderate seas and good visibility

:27:01.:27:09.

and over in the East, moderate seas and good visibility to. The rest of

:27:10.:27:12.

the afternoon and into the evening, the rain in the far south west tends

:27:13.:27:20.

to clear away but the win keeps coming. Be aware, early warnings are

:27:21.:27:24.

in force from the Met Office because it cranks up a notch. Low pressure

:27:25.:27:27.

towards the north-east and in the centre of it, the Northern Isles,

:27:28.:27:30.

very little for you, but across the mainland, very windy, particularly

:27:31.:27:38.

across exposed coasts, some sale in the late gale force winds. On top of

:27:39.:27:43.

the wind, a number of blustery showers, one to brighter skies, but

:27:44.:27:49.

temperatures, 17 or 18, but on the wind, feeling much cooler and

:27:50.:27:52.

decidedly autumnal, I am afraid. But we are still in August, Sally.

:27:53.:27:56.

Now, a reminder of tonight's main news:

:27:57.:27:58.

The last commercial shipyard on the lower Clyde -

:27:59.:28:00.

Ferguson's in Port Glasgow - has gone into administration.

:28:01.:28:02.

The workforce of 70 was told orders had dried up

:28:03.:28:04.

A woman from Galashiels has been arrested on suspicion of murder

:28:05.:28:14.

following the death of a three-year-old girl. She died in

:28:15.:28:18.

hospital after being rescued from the swimming pool at a hotel in

:28:19.:28:21.

Blackpool. I will be back at 8pm and 10:25

:28:22.:28:25.

p.m.,

:28:26.:28:26.
