A vigil has been held in Glasgow to show support for the people of Paris

People gathered in the city centre to express their solidarity.

Earlier, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon chaired a meeting of

the Scottish government's resilience committee.

She described the events in France as "unspeakably awful".

Gathering tonight in Glasgow in solidarity with the people of Paris.

Earlier, a First Minister signed a book of condolences at the French

consulate in Edinburgh. We don't yet know if there are British casualties

in these terrorist attacks, that I think we should prepare ourselves

for that being the case. The Scottish Government will

continue to liaise very closely with the UK Government over the course of

today and in the days ahead to make sure that any steps that are

required to be taken are taken. Flowers left outside the consort

with messages of support, support much appreciated by the French

community here. We are fighting for our values. We

are fighting for liberty, justice and peace, and that is something we

can't achieve alone, and obviously, knowing that other people across

Europe and the world are with us in that strife is important.

Glasgow Warriors match in Paris has been postponed, so they flew home

today. Passengers at Oslo airport said they were relieved to be back

in Scotland. I want to kiss the ground I am

standing on right now. -- Glasgow airport. Scotland's

Muslim community said the eight killers in Paris had nothing to do

with them. If you pay heed to the teachings of

Islam and the holy Koran, there is no room for such activities. To

carry out barbaric attacks and indiscriminate attacks against human

beings, bombing people in the street, Islam does not condone that.

Back at the vigil in Glasgow this evening, a mixture of emotions.

This is like 150 people are dead, and hundreds of people injured, so

this is unbelievable. Just in the name of... I doubt know what. We are

here in Glasgow, and we can support our family and our friends who are

actually in France and trying to fight against all this mess,

actually, all these attacks. People in Glasgow care, so we need

to show that we care. We need to express solidarity with the people

Paris. We need to show we're not scared.

The first in a series of charter flights bringing Syrian

refugees to the UK will arrive in Glasgow on Tuesday.

The UK government says it's stepping up its programme

to resettle 20,000 Syrians from camps around the country.

2,000 people fleeing the conflict in Syria will be settled in Scotland.

In football, two games in the Championship today.

According to health experts, it's critical that we stay as fit

Our reporter Ian Hamilton went along to a project which aims to

tackle issues such as fitness, diet and isolation with older people.

Health experts say there is no reason why people in their 80s and

90s can't keep a good level of physical fitness. The organisation

Reaching Older Adults In Renfrewshire, better known as ROAR,

work with older people in the community to promote healthy living,

reduce the number of falls, and give people an opportunity to socialise.

On your feet now, stand up. As you get older, one thing that is

affected if your balance. To prevent falls, they are doing the

one leg at challenge. It is not just about physical exercise, but also

about nourishment. It smells lovely. If you miles up

the road from the exercise group, cookery classes.

Keeping socially active requires you to have a certain kind of physical

activity. The physical activity of strengthening and balancing and

breathing, if you are physically well and nutritionally nourished,

you are far more likely to be socially nourished as well.

Loneliness and isolation is a big issue for a lot of older people.

Fundamentally, if we can help older people healthier and happier, we can

reduce the stress on the health service.

Other than learning to cook, it is the friendship and the people and

the socialising. It gives me the exercise I feel I need, which I

wouldn't do on my own. I feel like it helps with our

physical needs, emotional needs, mental needs and social needs. Again

to your sides. Up again.

To enjoy old age, it is important to be physically fit, but health

experts say it is equally important to be mentally fit.

This year's BBC Children in Need Appeal raised

its highest ever on-the-night total of ?37.1 million nationally.

Scotland contributed ?3.1 million to that total.

The money will be spent on children's projects across the UK.

Well, it's over to Judith now with the weather outlook

Thank you. A very good evening to you. A fairly quiet day so far, but

the next weather system is making its presence felt, with a wet 24

hours to come, particularly across south-west Scotland. The Met office

have issued an amber warning, the second tier of warning for

south-west Scotland, towards Kintyre and Aaron as well, and they could

see difficult driving and travelling conditions, disruption possible.

Also localised flooding, and rivers are already high. The next tier of

warning down, they be prepared/be aware warning for the likes of South

Central Scotland. That rain already feeding in across Scotland. It

marches northwards during this evening and tonight, but the far

north and Northern Isles stay dry, with clear spells. Temperatures down

close to freezing in some rural parts. The rain makes is way south

and retreat once again. It still keeps coming across a big part of

the country. Winds will be light, temperature is generally around

seven Celsius. Tomorrow will be a wet start very good part of the

country. The warning is still in force, but the rain becomes lighter

for a time and then gains more energy, along with the strengthening

south-westerly wind, and strays predominantly dry across more

western areas. The rain eventually clears tomorrow night, we are

looking at highs of about 14 Celsius in the South as it gets milder.

Thanks, Judith. Well, that's all for now.

As we leave you tonight, some prominent buildings this

evening have been lit up in the colours of the French flag

as a mark of respect to the victims of last night's attacks,

Until then, from everyone here, enjoy the rest of your night.

We will leave you with some images of the capital this evening.

Away from northern Scotland, most of us have seen a spell of rain.

Pictures coming
