That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me and on | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The First Minister said she will consider David Cameron's argument | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
for action against Islamic State in Syria. I am prepared to listen. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
Given what has happened, it would be irresponsible not to do that. It is | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
incumbent upon the Prime Minister for him to make the case. | :00:30. | :00:32. | |

Nicola Sturgeon has told BBC Scotland she IS "prepared to listen" | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
But she added she wasn't yet convinced that the case | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
The First Minister's predecessor, Alex Salmond, has said a UN mandate | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
would have to be a condition for SNP support of any military campaign. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Here's our Political Correspondent, Glenn Campbell. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
In the aftermath of the bloodshed in Paris, the Prime Minister has warned | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
that so-called Islamic State terrorists, also referred to as | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Isis, pose a growing threat to the UK. In Edinburgh, the First Minister | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
agrees. That is undoubtedly the case. What we have witnessed in | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Paris over the last few days, the terrorist attacks that have happened | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
in recent months and everything else we know about the threat from Daesh, | :02:12. | :02:23. | |
suggest there is a serious threat. Do you also agree with the Prime | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Minister that the case for taking military action has grown stronger | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
since the Paris attack? I am not yet convinced. She is willing to give | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
fresh consideration to the argument that bombing targets in Syria could | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
be legal and effective. I am prepared to listen. Given what is | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
happening and what has happened, it would be irresponsible not to do | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
that. It is incumbent upon the Prime Minister, for him to make that case. | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
He must address that case. I would ask that this resolution is passed | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
by a claim? At the SNP conference last month, opposition to use UK | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
military action in Syria was unanimous. You cannot, as I said | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
yesterday, outsourced to a Russian veto the decisions we need to keep | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
our country safe. Could strikes be legal without a UN mandate? That is | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
what he has two demonstrate. You are a lawyer. Air strikes are taking | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
place without that security mandate. Are they legal? I am trying not to | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
get into a polarised position on this. In a series of interviews | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
today, this former SNP leader said his party would not back as strikes | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
without UN are tea. The UN resolution is a precondition of SNP | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
support for military action. Not just because of the Garrity but | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
unless you have that UN consensus quite you cannot bring peace to | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
Syria. -- legality. For British fighter jets to join the air | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
strikes, David Cameron once the approval of parliament. He is | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
increasingly confident of winning a vote on air strikes, with or without | :04:24. | :04:24. | |
SNP packing. I certainly think we have had mixed | :04:25. | :04:40. | |
messages from the SNP on this in the last 24-hour. At their conference | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
they took a firm stance against UK military involvement in Syria. The | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
First Minister has seen in the light of the Paris attacks to give the SNP | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
some room for manoeuvre. While she is not yet convinced of the case for | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
air strikes, she is prepared to listen to that case. If the Prime | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Minister intends to go ahead without UN backing, he would have to explain | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
how he can so do legally and effectively. But the position set | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
out by Alex Salmond boxes the party back in if there is to be a | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
precondition for SNP support that there is a UN mandate. The Prime | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
Minister has indicated he does not intend to go down that route because | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
of the possibility of a Russian Beto. For the SNP, there is little | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
point in saying you're going to listen to an argument if you have | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
already decided you will object it. Thank you. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
Cracks have been found in the core of one of Hunterston B's reactors. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
The Nuclear power plant's operator made the discovery | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
EDF Energy says the reactor's continuing to operate normally. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
More from our Environment Correspondent, David Miller. | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
Hunterston B on the Ayrshire coast. It has been generating electricity | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
since 1976. We learned today cracks have recently been discovered in a | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
tiny number of the thousands of graphite bricks which make up the | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
core of one of the plant's two reactors. Similar cracks were found | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
in the other reactor last year. EDF energy insists the plant is safe and | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
the discovery was expected. There is no cause for concern in what we have | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
discovered. It is in line with our expectations. The small cracks we | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
have found are anticipated and it makes no difference to the operation | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
here, nor our expectation for extension. Environmental campaigners | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
argue that Scotland is right on focusing of renewable sources of | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
electricity generation, rather than investing in new nuclear plants. | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
More cracks underline why it is right for Scotland to move away to | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
nuclear power into safer and cleaner forms of energy. It shows that | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
nuclear power is on its last legs. Scotland is looking for alternatives | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
for its energy sources. This is a reminder that the two nuclear-power | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
stations are ageing. They are due to continue operating until at least | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
2023. Together, the two stations produce around the third of all the | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
electricity generated in Scotland. But there are no plans to replace | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
them. You're watching Reporting Scotland | :07:33. | :07:34. | |

to establish how a woman staying Margaret Gilchrist died in September | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
2013 at her home in the East End Catriona Renton reports from | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
Glasgow Sheriff Court. These pictures of Margaret Gilchrist | :08:16. | :08:29. | |
in her early 20s were shown in court. Described as a very | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
vulnerable women with severe learning disabilities since birth. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Margaret had a history of epilepsy and was registered blind. Margaret | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
was 50 when she died. She lived in this house in the East End of | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Glasgow where she received full-time care from the learning disability | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
organisation, Enable. In papers lodged with the inquiry it is | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
claimed Margaret was placed in the bath and watched by her carer at | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
6:30pm in September 2013. Then it is said she was left alone for around | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
an hour. At around eight p.m., her carer found her unresponsive in the | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
bath and she had been scolded. The cause of death was not established | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
so this fatal accident enquiry were set up. Her family has been | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
listening to the evidence. Margaret had severe and complex learning | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
disabilities. She was looked after by a care organiser from the age of | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
20. In September, 2013, under tragic circumstances, she was found dead in | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
the bath was a fatal accident enquiry has been called to | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
investigate this. The family has lots of questions they want | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
answered. Giving evidence was this Police Constable. He said they found | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Margaret lying in the bath, her skin was red. The enquiry into the death | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
continues. For long enough, | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
it seemed as if Edinburgh's trams Now, 18 months | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
after the first passengers used the service, councillors in the capital | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
have agreed in principle to extend Our reporter Steven Godden is | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
on a tram in Edinburgh. What are the commuters you're | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
with saying about it? Well, sadly, the conversations on | :10:16. | :10:27. | |
the tram are much like the conversations I have had out on the | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
streets of Edinburgh. Some people think the tram extension is a good | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
idea and others are terrible idea and all points in between. What | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
everyone is conscious of is this project. The long delays, the huge | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
cost overrun, and the damage it did to the reputation of Edinburgh. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Certainly that is something that councillors were conscious of when | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
they took the decision today. What they have agreed to in principle was | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
the line would extend beyond the terminus in the city centre where we | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
are heading at the moment. Beyond there, down Leith and to New Haven. | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
Why would they want to do that? A number of different motivations. | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
They say the city is growing and they need the infrastructure to cope | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
with that. They also want Leith, having had the pain of the initial | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
project, to get some of the benefits of the project. Lots of fare-paying | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
passengers in the most densely populated area of Edinburgh. | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
Potentially they could help the trams to return a profit. How are | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
they planning to pay for it? That is a thorny issue. The proposal to use | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
money from the bus company in the form of dividends to help pay for | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
initial costs of borrowing have been met with some resistance. We saw | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
that in the chamber today. At one point they looked like they might | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
have derailed the project. That has not been done but they are going to | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
review the business case. A step closer, albeit a small step. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Ten former bosses at Halifax Bank of Scotland could be banned | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
from working in the financial services industry. | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
That's one of the conclusions in a report into the collapse | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
The failure of HBOS in 2008 hit Scotland hard, as jobs | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
were shed, and Edinburgh lost the benefits and status of having | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
Our Business and Economy Editor, Douglas Fraser, is with me now. | :12:21. | :12:31. | |
It is certainly not good. It was never going to be good for those | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
involved in what happened. The account of what went wrong may sound | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
familiar. The Halifax Bank of Scotland is described as a simple | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
bank that created a big problem. That was based on reckless lending | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
and not enough attention to the risks that were building up. A lot | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
of people at the top of the bank did not understand because they were not | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
trained and experienced as bankers. That much was known. It is almost | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
disputed today by the people named. There is criticism from the current | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
regulator of the Financial Services Authority, which was the regulator. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
It is the watchdog that failed to bark in the case of HBOS. The | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
question at ten former HBOS executives could be barred from | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
working in the financial sector is more of a criticism of the regulator | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
for not doing its job. Only one person has been barred and find for | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
that that is Peter Cummings, he started as tea boy at the bank of | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
Scotland and rose to be the man writing these loans for reckless | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
corporate spending. Another way to look at this, a bank calamity where | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
HBOS had to be taken over by Lloyds TSB and bailed out by the | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
Government. Its business customers were among the first to suffer. We | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
have been hearing from one of them today. The relationship changed | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
radically, it changed overnight, when the banking crisis hit in | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
2008. We were in the property industry and HBOS were over | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
leveraged in that area. They decided that property was of no interest to | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
them. As, like many other businesses, were swept into that | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
net. What followed thereafter was a very difficult and challenging | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
period of time where we effectively had to dismantle a business we have | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
spent so long building up. To then take it apart in two to three years. | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
It was a soul destroying experience. It is important there is now much | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
stronger legislation and governance in place. Each -- HBOS, and they are | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
not alone, were allowed to rack up enormous borrowings in the financial | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
markets. That really cannot be allowed to happen again. Who is it | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
down to now to pay for all of this? This is one arm of the Bank of | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
England reviewing another arm of the Bank of England to take action. To | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
be honest, it will not make much practical difference. Many have | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
retired. It will not bring back the pride and status of Scottish | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
banking. For Edinburgh, it has lost the cloud of two banking giants who | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
collapsed. It is about making banking saves to ensure it cannot | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
happen again put up some measures have been taken. Some say they are | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
not radical enough and others that they have gone too far. The Royal | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
Bank of Scotland today has said it is removing bonuses from its retail | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
banking staff. They will get a pay rise in view of that. To take away | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
the incentive for pressurised selling of financial products. | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
An incident near Clydebank, where a man was apparently | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
deliberately hit by a car following a row on a garage forecourt, is | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
The 47-year-old was knocked down outside the Shell Garage on | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
He wasn't seriously injured and did not require hospital treatment. | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
The composer Paul Mealor caught the public's imagination after | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
the song he wrote for The Military Wives choir became a huge hit. | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
But, for nearly a decade before his chart | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
topping success, he was teaching composition at Aberdeen University. | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
So, it's entirely fitting that tonight he'll premiere his first | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
Tonight is the night. The first performance before an audience of a | :16:18. | :16:38. | |
new symphony composed by their teacher. I am excited and nervous. A | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
symphony is an enormous undertaking for any composer and it says you are | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
what you are thinking at that point in your life. My spiritual journey | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
as someone who has a deep faith but also a musical journey. It charts my | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
development as a composer of the last 20 years. His work has achieved | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
global success being performed at the Royal wedding, the BBC Proms and | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
by the military wives quire. The premiere of his symphony will be | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
held at a cathedral close to Aberdeen University won he has been | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
teaching for the past 14 years. Everything go person involved in the | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
performance as a friend of mine. Students who I have become very | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
close to and to understand my music. It is a huge privilege for me to | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
have my music performed here in the city. In a short while the musicians | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
and singers and an audience of 400 people will be making their way here | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
to this cathedral to mark the combination of 20 years worth of | :17:49. | :17:49. | |
work. Let's get all tonight's sport now | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
from David. The Celtic captain Scott Brown wants | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
fans to keep faith with the team, promising a return to the | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
Champions League. Brown was speaking on the eve | :18:04. | :18:04. | |
of the club's general meeting, where successive European failings | :18:05. | :18:14. | |
are sure to be raised. As Alasdair Lamont reports, | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
tomorrow's AGM could throw up some | :18:18. | :18:18. | |
interesting plot lines. There was a big story at Celtic | :18:19. | :18:27. | |
today. Scott Bowen's new has plenty of space for reams of trophy winning | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
tales and bold adventures by recent chapters on that front do not make | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
pleasant reading. What is his message for fans who have lost the | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
plot with European performances? Keep the faith with us. It has been | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
a long couple of years not with Champions League football but we | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
will get there. It is one of several issues likely to be raised here | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
tomorrow as shareholders gallop, gather. Others include that the | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
campaign to get Celtic to sign up as a visual Living Wage employers and | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
the notion of a downsizing in terms of player investment and funniest of | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
all the club's size on Rangers' use of EBT is and whether that impacted | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
on success here. They will be asked about it and pressed about it and I | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
know a lot of supporters have written to the club asking about it | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
why would expect them to make some form of noncommittal statement that | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
they will continue to burst to the interests of the club. Noncommittal | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
would cover the captain's view. I am having nothing to do with this. I am | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
not getting dragged into it whatsoever. I will have nothing to | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
do with that whatsoever. I am not saying a word. There may be some | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
tricky questions for the chief executive and the manager went they | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
face -year-old is here tomorrow. Inverness Caledonian Thistle say | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
they've shown everyone they won't stand for any bad behaviour, | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
after their striker Dani Lopez was involved | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
in an alleged spitting incident. It happened during an under 20s | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
match against St Johnstone, The Spaniard, who's managed just the | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
one goal, this one, since signing While the club investigates, | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
they don't want to talk about it. I would not deny it but I would not | :20:11. | :20:23. | |
say until we get the referee's report and it is 100% clear... I am | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
right behind the club. The image of the club and the values that we try | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
to boot out to visit a of Inverness and the young players at Inverness. | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
We will not stand for any misdemeanour. | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
Jamie Murray is in action at the world tennis tour finals in London. | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
He and his partner John Peers have to beat | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
the all-conquering Bryan brothers to make it through to the knockout | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
At the moment, they're in the first set. | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
It is 5-5. This included this rather impressive chest bump. | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
Now to the tale of one of Scottish sport's unsung heroes. | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
For more than 40 years he's been training boxers in the Lanarkshire | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
Rab's helped in the development of a number of champions. | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
Ans helped troubled young people get their lives back on track. | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
Here is rather getting too close to the action. Nothing comes between | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
him and his lifelong passion. I love it. If you do not like it did is no | :21:29. | :21:37. | |
good, you have to love it. His devotion to boxing has helped others | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
make it big. Nikki Burns, two world titles. I made him. I made him. Just | :21:45. | :21:56. | |
like the old door. He knows that. The veteran trainer's expertise | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
still drawing aspiring champions to his German corporate. He is draining | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
my son through the back and he has come on leaps and bounds. He is | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
doing brilliant. Quite often the boys and girls get in trouble with | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
the law and the police come in and the social workers comment and ask | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
Rab to work his magic. They will be taught some discipline and life | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
skills to get back on the narrow and get back to school. Once he has them | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
addicted to the boxing if he does -- them I do not turn up to school he | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
does not like the men. You would think after 40 years not much would | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
surprise him. Not so. His brother has is a prize. My God. It is the | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
unsung hear words for 2015. Recognition for his dedication to | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
the sport he loves. I love a happy ending. | :23:02. | :23:02. | |
The people of Bathgate have been spending | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
The West Lothian town's been given an award in recognition | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
of the money its people have raised to provide toilets and washing | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
It's now become Scotland's first toilet "twinned town". | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
There is a clue in the name. As the community prepared to lift the lid | :23:18. | :23:29. | |
on my new town title at the local parish church. Scotland's first ever | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
toilet twinned town. Yes. It has matched up several of its local | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
lavatories with toilets in the developing world. There is a serious | :23:44. | :23:56. | |
side to the fundraising effort. It costs ?60 to 28 toilet, with all of | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
the money going to support sanitation projects in 42 countries | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
worldwide. 2.5 billion people do not have access to a clean and safe | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
place to go to the toilet which leads to disease, children dying | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
under the age of five especially. What this money will do all men that | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
communities will be educated about the necessity of having a clean | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
toilet. This cafe is twinned with Bangladesh. Locals were taken with | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
the title. I am dumbfounded, but why not? It is a new one, but people | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
from Bathgate are quite enterprising and quick to take things on board. | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
The locals may be flushed with success or on a roll but they are | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
certainly engaged with this project. The people of Bathgate will have to | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
put up with a bit of toilet humour from now on in but legitimately can | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
say they have been spending a penny to help those in need. | :25:03. | :25:14. | |
We are being warned. It is set to turn very cold. | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
Yes. The first Arctic plunge of the season. There was some sunshine | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
today in between the showers. This time tomorrow we could be seeing | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
some snow in parts of the north and east because winds will be thin to | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
the north than start to pool in much colder air from the Arctic. Tonight | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
we have bands of showers in play and this one working southwards will | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
bring heavy showers to parts of central and southern Scotland at | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
most places will become dry by morning. Showers hanging on for the | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
Northern Isles, of them heavy and wintry overture lent towards the end | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
of the night. It will be cold with patchy ice in the islands. Tomorrow | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
is chilly and showery but the showers will go and generally a lot | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
of dry and great weather for central and southern Scotland but it will | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
turn increasingly chilly and windy as we go through the day. A few | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
wintry flurries for the hills. 12-mac showers dotted around but for | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
most of the country during daylight the emphasis is on dry and bright | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
weather although it will be chilly and you will feel the northerly | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
wind. Showers gathering at this stage of Caithness and Sutherland | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
and the Northern Isles and they will fall as sleet and snow back to low | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
levels by the end of the afternoon. We have a yellow warning from the | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
Met Office for parts of the north and east for snow,, combined with | :26:40. | :26:46. | |

levels. Snow confined to the hills. Now, | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
a reminder of tonight's main news. Nicola Sturgeon has told | :27:24. | :27:25. | |
BBC Scotland she is prepared to listen to the case for airstrikes | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
in Syria, but she added she wasn't yet convinced that the case | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
for them had been made. The First Minister's predecessor | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
Alex Salmond has said a UN mandate would have to be a condition for SNP | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
support of any military campaign. The extremist who's thought to have | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
organised last Friday's massacre Abdelhamid Abaaoud died when French | :27:40. | :27:41. | |
police raided a flat The French authorities believe | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
Abaaoud was about to launch another attack, this time | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
on the financial district of Paris. That's all from Reporting Scotland | :27:51. | :27:52. | |
for now. I'll be back with the headlines | :27:53. | :27:54. | |
at 8pm and the late bulletin just From everyone on the team, | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
right around the country, It's the one they've all | :27:58. | :28:18. | |
been waiting for. | :28:19. | :28:22. |
