the last shipbuilders on the lower Clyde goes | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
into administration. There's shock and tears | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
as the workforce at Ferguson's I was really looking forward to my | :00:18. | :00:33. | |
future, I had a really bright hopes, and all of that seems to have been | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
blown out of the water at the moment. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
We will consider the impact on the town and what can be done to save | :00:43. | :00:44. | |

the centre of Glasgow as the city turns out to say thank | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
you for making A town reeling | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
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. |
