where you are. Insufficient staff | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
and low performance, that's the verdict of a review | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
into police's handling The review was ordered after the | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
three-day long delay in responding to John Yuill and Lamara Bell's | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
crashed car on the M9. I would hate to see anybody else go | :00:16. | :00:28. | |
through that, three days, just terrible. I just want to make sure | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
there is change and that this can never happen again. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |

A report on police call handling in Scotland says | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
no more call centres should be closed for now | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
because of weaknesses in the way the project has been handled. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
The review was ordered after the deaths of John Yuill and Lamara | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Bell, who lay undiscovered for days in their car after it crashed | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Tonight, Lamara Bell's family said the report was a damning indictment | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Here's our home affairs correspondent Reevel Alderson. | :01:35. | :01:45. | |
It took police three days last July to arrive at the scene of a car | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
crash off the M9 near Stirling after a farmer had reported the accident. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
When officers got there, the driver, John Yuill was dead, and his | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
girlfriend, Lamara Bell, was seriously injured. She died later in | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
hospital. Her family say it has been tough waiting for answers as to why | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
nobody responded to the emergency call. There are constant reminders | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
of what she went through, they will stick with me all the time, and I | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
would hate to see anybody else have to go through that. Three days my | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
sister went through, just terrible. I just want to make sure that there | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
is change and that this can never happen again. This is the Bilston | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
control room in Midlothian which handled the control about the crash. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
It is now dealing with calls that used to go through Stirling, which | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
has closed. How the closure programme has been handled was | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
investigated by the Inspector of Constabulary. He looked at the way | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
calls adult with a cross Police Scotland. He said oversight of the | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
closure programme was inadequate and call handlers were sometimes under | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
pressure to end calls quickly. Some used notepad instead of putting | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
information into the computer system. He said further planned | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
closures should not go ahead without guarantees the service will not | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
suffer. Police say things are improving. We are in the middle of a | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
long and complex programme of change, and it provides important | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
assurances about our call handling capacity, capability and processes. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
We, of course, acknowledged that there have been challenges and | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
issues, and today's report recognises that we have made | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
progress in addressing those issues. The Scottish Police | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Federation agrees things are improving, thanks to more | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
investment, but it says problems were inevitable because the force | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
has to save ?1.1 billion over 13 years. The almost single focus on | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
trying to save money at the cost of everything else was clearly one of | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
the driving factors that resulted in such a poor servers being delivered | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
to the public, it can come as no surprise that on the back of a cash | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
investment that enabled the people in place also enabled significant | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
improvements. Police Scotland receives 3.7 million calls on the | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
999 and 101 numbers. Opposition MSPs called the report damning and a | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
shocking indictment of reorganisation, but the Justice | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
Secretary insist it is working. Collectively, we accept that the | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
issue of how the call centres were taken forward could have been | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
handled better, and the recommendations by HMIC have said | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
very clearly about the need for improvement and how these changes | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
are managed in the future. What we now have to do is make sure that the | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
progress that the report highlights has been made in recent months, that | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
we build on that progress. Another report into how the incident itself | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
was handled was ordered by the Lord Advocate, and it will be published | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
next year. Reevel Alderson, Reporting Scotland. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
The former Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael has said he | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
didn't lie over a leaked memo in an attempt to protect his reputation. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
He said the reason he told the lie was to keep media attention | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
focused on the alleged double standards of the SNP in | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
He was giving evidence for a second day at a special election | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
court in Edinburgh which will decided whether he broke the law. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Trying times for Alistair Carmichael as he arrives at court faced with | :05:16. | :05:29. | |
accusations he repeatedly lied about a leaked memo. This is already on | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
the public record, I received a phone call on Friday afternoon from | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
a journalist... He accepted the lied to Channel 4 television and to a | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
newspaper reporter and misled the Cabinet Office inquiry into the | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
leaked memo in a calculated move. Challenged repeatedly in court that | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
he had lied to save his reputation, he said... | :05:52. | :06:04. | |
Back in April this year, he authorised the leak of a memo, the | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
basis of a newspaper article that claimed the First Minister had told | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
the French ambassador she wanted David Cameron to remain as Prime | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
Minister after the general election, something Nicola Sturgeon | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
denied. The Member of Parliament for Orkney and Shetland constituency... | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
A month after, he was returned as MP for Orkney and Shetland, but days | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
later evidence emerged he had lied about the leaked memo. His | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
constituents have taken him to court, arguing he misled the public | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
in the run-up to his real action is MP. He was asked if this episode had | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
taken its toll on him and his family. He replied it had been a | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
difficult few months. Asked if he regretted his involvement in the | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
leaks, he replied, enormously. Alistair Carmichael left court this | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
afternoon, his evidence finished. Both legal teams are due to present | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
closing submissions tomorrow. At stake is his political career. If he | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
loses the case, he could lose his seat. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
The UK Government has put plans to relax Sunday trading laws | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
on hold while talks continue with opposition parties. | :07:09. | :07:09. | |
The SNP had threatened to vote against the proposals. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
They said even though the plans applied only to England and Wales, | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
on shop workers' pay across the whole of the UK. | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
We are in favour of Sunday trading, but not on the back of lower paid | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
shop staff, and the effect of the government plans, which had no | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
safeguards or guarantees on pay, could have led to staff having their | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
pay is squeezed not just in Scotland but the rest of the UK as well. Tim | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
Reid is at Westminster tonight, Tim, how significant is this SNP | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
intervention? Well, officially, the word from Number Ten is that their | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
plans have not changed and that they will come back with next steps at a | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
later date. Unofficially, they have been put on hold pending further | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
discussions with the opposition party leaders here, and I think the | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
figures simply did not stack up for the Government if they had pushed | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
this to a vote if it had been brought before the house, they could | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
have lost because the SNP were threatening to vote against it, | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
despite it being measure for England and Wales. Angus Robertson said he | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
had been persuaded by shop workers and unions that wages may be | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
affected by this, and significantly he was today spotted in Downing | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
Street, having a meeting with the Prime Minister on other matters, but | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
I think it is safe to assume this is one of the things at the top of his | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
agenda. And the fact that the Government is going to have to go | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
back to the drawing board on this is a significant flexing of the SNP's | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
muscles here. Ironically, though, it is today after the Scotland Bill, | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
where the SNP could not get way entirely on the Scotland Bill last | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
night on a measure relating to Scotland, but it has managed to | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
cause some element, inflict some damage on the Prime Minister on a | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
matter which was only England and Wales. So perhaps the English votes | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
for English laws that the Government has introduced not going to be quite | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
as easy as they had hoped. Also discussed at Westminster and | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
Holyrood, the forthcoming trade union bill. Yes, workers' right at | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
the top of both genders today, Nicola Sturgeon was here today | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
meeting her MPs, head of discussion of the trade union bill in the House | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
of Commons. Opposition parties here and that Holyrood against those | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
changes to workers' writes, the SNP saying they were an ideological | :09:35. | :09:35. | |
attack. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :09:36. | :09:36. | |
from the BBC. Still to come | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
on tonight's programme: Councillors back revised plans | :09:39. | :09:39. | |
for new flood defences in Dumfries, In sport, the Scotland boss | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
Gordon Strachan says we need a winning mentality across | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
all levels of Scottish football. We meet the Scots rider | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
racing for gold in Rio. Campaigners gathered at Holyrood to | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
demand that the Scottish Government does more to stand up | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
for the rights of tenant farmers. Among them is Andrew Stoddart, who | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
faces eviction in two weeks' time after more than 20 years | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
farming land in East Lothian. Whatever the day, whatever the | :10:15. | :10:30. | |
weather, there is much work to be done. Andrew Stoddart has fond here | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
since 1993, investing in a business and a future for his family. But at | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
the end of the month, his wife and three children will have to leave. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
It is totally devastating, we have spent 22 years here. We have built | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
the place up, made it our home. And, you know, it is just absolutely | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
gutting to have to leave. He believed legislation brought in in | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
2003 would give him a security of tenure, but two years ago the law | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
was ruled defective. Now his landlord wants the farm back. The | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
trust owns the land, the trust has taken the view that they would like | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
to farm the land themselves, and in many ways that is their prerogative, | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
it is their land, they ended into the tenancy originally of their own | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
free will, and this is now their decision. Andrew is not alone - | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
seven other farmers face eviction because of the defective law. You | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
have sons going into businesses with their fathers, and in fact some have | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
actually moved onto the next generation. So there is a profound | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
human aspect to this position, whereby, as families, they do not | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
know what the future holds for them. Today land reform campaigners | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
gathered at Parliament, calling on the Government to step in. My | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
officials are working on this case as a matter of urgency, given that | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
the end of this tenancy is approaching fast, to see how we can | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
help them, because we do not know what the position is when he is not | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
able to continue farming. We want to do all we can to help them. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Meanwhile, back in East Lothian, Andrew can now only hope for | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
compensation to help them start again, something the trusts say they | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
are discussing with him. The Scottish Government's decision | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
to award ?150,000 to the organisers of T in the Park | :12:18. | :12:18. | |
is to be reviewed by the public spending watchdog | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
Audit Scotland. The Culture Secretary, Fiona Hyslop, | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
was called before a parliamentary committee in September | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
to be quizzed on the award. it will examine the funding | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
as part of a wider review. MSPs are being asked to approve | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
an increase in their expenses to allow them to employ | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
an extra member of staff. The Parliament's management | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
are recommending that staffing allowances increase by almost | :12:46. | :12:46. | |
?23,000 after the next election to ensure all office staff | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
are paid the living wage and to deal with the | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
increased workload because of the new powers coming | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
to the Scottish Parliament. Now a look at other stories from a | :12:56. | :13:10. | |
chorister country. A private funeral will be held for 16-year-old Bailey | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
Gwynne, who died after being stabbed at Cults Academy in Aberdeen. The | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
16-year-old boy who was charged with murder has been amended in custody. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
A man went on the run for more than a decade has been jailed for | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
trafficking heroin worth more than ?200,000 into Aberdeen. 41-year-old | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
Scott Coleman was caught in Liverpool in 2003 but failed to | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
reappear after being released on bail. He was detained in Amsterdam, | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
extradited and jailed for five years. Police in Edinburgh are | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
hunting three men who attacked a shopkeeper during an armed robbery. | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
They stole a 4 figure sum of cash and a large quantity of cigarettes | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
from the newsagent's at around five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
shopkeeper was threatened with a knife and hammer before being struck | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
on the back of the head as the man-made off. | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
The Education Secretary has indicated she might be willing | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
to consider amending or removing controversial provisions | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
Universities and opposition MSPs have complained that ministers are | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
seeking to increase their power over institutions. | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
The Scottish crofting federation has welcomed the governments decision to | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
look at the potential of reintroducing loans for building or | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
improving croft houses. The federation said such a systems could | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
help young crofters get onto the housing ladder. -- assistance. A | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
conservation charity says that it is cautiously optimistic that new | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
planning guidance about wild land is stopping the building of wind farms | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
in key areas of outstanding natural beauty. It comes after a proposed 14 | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
turbine wind farm was rejected by Scottish Government planning | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
officials following an appeal by the developers. | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
Councillors in Dumfries have backed a controversial flood-defence scheme | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
for the town's Whitesands area, which involves building | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
Last year, thousands of people signed a petition objecting to the | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
plan and, although it's now been scaled back, opposition remains. | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
The last big flood in Dumfries was in 2009, but the River bursts its | :15:18. | :15:33. | |
bank here every year. The council came up with this proposed solution | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
a three meter high embankment with a walkway on top. The scale of the | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
structure which would block the River view and wipe out car parking | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
prompted an outcry. Officials came back with this. A lower raised | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
walkway 1.3 meterers here which a glass wall on top which could be | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
heightened further to prevent even the worst one in 75 year flood | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
experienced here. That concept was approved today by the council's | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
environment and infrastructure committee. Councillors have listened | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
to this problem and failed to take a decision. We have a solution that | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
will tackle the flooding problem it will regenerate the area and make it | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
an attractive place for people to visit. Most floods in Dumfries won't | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
come above this railing. The council want something that is two to three | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
meters high. It's not necessary. Opponents concede the less design is | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
less visually intrue sieve than the earlier one, but still don't want. | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
It This barrier is going to be here all year round. Now, if it's made of | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
glass, that's a massive maintenance problem for them. Think of all the | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
cleaning they will have to do all year round to prevent a flood for | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
two-days. It's a nonsense. It's crazy. It goes into a detail design | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
and planning phase. The Scottishings Government will be asked to come up | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
with 80% of the expected ?15 million cost. With a favourable tide, it | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
could be built by the end of the decade. | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
Thank you very much. Good evening to you. | :17:20. | :17:30. | |
The Scotland manager believes we should demand a winning mentality | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
Gordon Strachan doesn't want youngsters to be over-protected from | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
One of which is that we won't be at Euro 2016 next summer. | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
Despite that, Strachan says he and his senior players do have | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
Run away from the Scotland manager's job - no way says Gordon Strachans | :17:46. | :17:58. | |
despite concerns from his employers he may have called it a day. I | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
wanted to make sure that after the final games that everybody was happy | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
where we have to go and happy with the progress. I mean everybody. I | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
mean the staff, the players, my bosses. The fans. We got a positive | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
reaction. I just needed that confirmation. With the manager | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
signed up for another qualifying campaign, his senior players | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
indicated they are also committed. They are positive. I don't see why | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
not. This week he is alongside under-21 boss observing what he | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
hopes will be stars of the future whachl does he see as progress for | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
the youngsters? They want to win. That is what we are about. Forget | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
about the nonsense we have to progress and play this. Football, | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
from whatever age, whatever sport, you want to win. That is part of | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
life. It's part of what makes your character. People say, we don't want | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
to show the scores it will upset the kids. Show the scores. You will be | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
upset. Then you do something about it. That's life. Deal with problems. | :19:08. | :19:18. | |
That's my rant there. See you later. In good form there. | :19:19. | :19:21. | |

Andy Murray has repeated his warning that he may have to pull out of next | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
week's World Tour Finals if his body reacts badly to practising this week | :19:44. | :19:46. | |

Mark Petchey does expect Murray to make the end of season finale. | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
I personally think he will be there. You know it's such a great honour | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
and a prif ledge, also recognition of what a fantastic year that he's | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
had. He has never finished as World Number Two year end. There is a big | :20:19. | :20:26. | |
prize there in terms ofty staying away from Djokovic until the final. | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
That is a big thing for him to try and achieve -- of. | :20:34. | :20:37. | |

Jen McIntosh is the most decorated female medal winner in Scottish | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
Now, she dreams about becoming the first British woman to win | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
The 24-year-old has taken a step closer to realising that aim | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
after being named today in Team GB for next summer's Olympics in Rio. | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
McIntosh competed in London 2012, and she believes that experience | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
I want to go out there and do myself proud and do the very best I can. I | :21:09. | :21:18. | |
know if I do all of that, that my opportunities are the same as | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
everybody else to win medals and make finals. As long as I'm happy, | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
at the end of the day, you can't really control the result. | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Triple European cycling Gold medallist, Katie Archibald, | :21:31. | :21:32. | |

Jane Lewis went to Manchester to find out more. | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
Hitting the roads in training, but this Scot has hit the road south in | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
a bid to realise her Olympic dream. I'm based down here with the rest of | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
the Team Pursuit girls. Four of the girls I train in day in and out with | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
the aim of performing at Rio. It's important we have one base. The Ied | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
mid--le of the country. We have come to Manchester. She is following in | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
the footsteps of not just one of her cycling heroes but a fellow Scot who | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
knows about success on a bike. It gives you goose bumps. It's | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
inspiring to be on the same track, walking the same hallways and | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
dealing with the same coaches at times. Pretty privileged. Her move | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
to Manchester is proving fruitful. COMMENTATOR: It's arch bald. It's | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
Gold for Great Britain. GB Women's Pursuit Team were World Champions in | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
2014. They won Silver this year. They are the current European | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
Champions. Living in each others pockets. Give constructive fedback | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
and relevant criticisms at times. You think it would be tricky, we get | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
on well. I'm bragging, maybe there is a secret to success in there. The | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
question is - will that success continue in Rio? I guess everybody | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
is confident, aren't they, in the world of sport people get bye-bye | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
assuming they will be the best. For some people it works. I feel good | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
about how training is going and how I've been performing at races. I | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
hope it's going to pay off. If it does, that would be some journey for | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
this 21-year-old. That's. It I'm so sorry much you can call me David - | :23:36. | :23:37. | |

It was another fairly cloudy and in places wet day. Thank you to our | :24:02. | :24:12. | |
weather watcher, Alastair, who sent in this autumnal picture from | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
Glasgow. Whilst it has been wet for many today, tonight is dry for many, | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
but cooler than last night. Still some wet weather to the south, | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
drifting down towards England. Heavy showers to the north-west. For a | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
good part of the country, dry with clear conditions. Windy to the | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
north-west from a south-westerly direction. By the end of the night, | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
temperatures wise, seven or eight Celsius to the north, 10 in the | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
south. The rural north-east two or three. Tomorrow, wet weather to the | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
south pulling away. Cloudy here. Showers to the highlands, drifting | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
further east during the course of the day. A much dryer, brighter day | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
than today. By mid afternoon in the south, cloud around, a few showers, | :24:55. | :25:07. | |
the rain waning. Showers to go with the sunshine. Winds lighter, 11 | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
maybe 12 Celsius. A number of showers to the northern isles and | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
breezy at times. Into the evening, the next batch of rain will arrive | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
from the south-west. Wet evening community. It journeys up to the | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
north coast fairly smartly. Thursday, it gets off to a dry, | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
bright start. The cloud will increase, rain will follow on and | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
winds will strengthen. Temperatures to 12 Celsius. That wet and windy | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
weather due to this area of low pressure out in the Atlantic. | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
Actually, it's our first named storm of the season, Storm Abigail. A wet | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
windy night, Thursday to Friday. High winds, particularly to the | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
north-west of the country on the southern flank of that low. Because | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
of that we do have a Met Office yellow be aware early warning for | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
wind. We are likely to see disruption on the ferries, bridges | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
and branches taken down, that sort of thing. That is the exact area for | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
the weather warning. Gusts of 60-80mph overnight Thursday to | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
Friday. On Friday there will be colder air, a bitter feel at times | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
as we head through towards the end of the week as the cold air shunts | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
the mild air out of the way. Rain around on Friday. The temperature | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
you will notice, the wind feeling like two or three Celsius. That | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
rain, it's cold enough to fall as snow on the top of the hills and | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
mountains down to around 400 meters. That's the forecast for now. Thank | :26:36. | :26:37. | |
you, Christopher. That's the forecast for now. Thank | :26:38. | :26:38. | |
you, Now, | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
