Six. Now we joined the BBC News teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A festive threat from college lecturers. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
They call for a better pay deal, as the sector faces the possibility | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
of the first national strike for decades. | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
A false start but with some help Catriona takes to the waves | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
as the latest ferry built on the Clyde is launched. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Luxury electric cars go on sale in Scotland for the first time | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
but what future do the vehicles have here. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Celtic return from Turkey at the end of their campaign in Europe | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
with Ronnie Diela defending his team. | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
I think "frightened" is the wrong word. You need to play games like we | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
did yesterday. Also on the programme: | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
And the incredible story of the heroic fisherman | :01:00. | :01:00. | |
from the north-east and his act of bravery uncovered | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
by the Antiques Roadshow. A national strike in Scotland's | :01:03. | :01:18. | |
colleges could be just weeks away. Lecturers are warning they'll | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
support industrial action if they don't get | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
a better pay offer. They're protesting about a one | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
per cent pay offer and big differences between how much staff | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
at different colleges earn. But their union says it's also | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
worried about what it calls Our education correspondent, | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Jamie McIvor, reports. Some college lecturers are not | :01:37. | :01:54. | |
feeling festive. They are angry over pay and cuts to colleges across | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Scotland. Their union held an informal ballot to see if they would | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
support industrial action. And now an official strike ballot seems | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
likely. In a ballot, we had 92% voted yes for industrial action. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
This is the first time in 23 years they have done this. This is after a | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
year of negotiations. We do not want to do this. The dispute itself is | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
over pay. But it is hard to separate it from a far bigger debate about | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
the very role of colleges. Overall budgets have been cut, jobs have | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
gone and there's been a big fall in the number of part-time students. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Colleges now have budgets which are still less than they were in 2007 | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
when the SNP came to power. They have massively reduced the number of | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
students in colleges by as much as 140,000. Colleges have also been | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
through a big process of mergers. Two months ago, the First Minister | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
opened City of Glasgow college's new campus. The people here used to work | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
at three separate colleges on different sites. Nicola Sturgeon | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
said the changes across Scotland had been worth it. These issues are | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
always challenging and they bring difficulties and tensions. I don't | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
deny that that has been the casement the case. The former principal and | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
former chairman of this college found themselves under-fire from | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
SMPs. Now lecturers' pay could trigger a national strike as soon as | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
February. The Scottish Government called both sides to work together | :03:45. | :03:45. | |
to find a solution. Restrictions on a priority route | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
for HGVs and buses put in place following the closure | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
of the Forth Road Bridge are being eased, to allow car | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
drivers to use it at weekends. The A985 between Cairneyhill | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
and Longannet will also be open to light goods vehicles around | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
the clock from Monday. The Transport Minister Derek Mackay | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
says the changes are designed to help communities | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
and businesses in Fife cope Rangers say they'll hold a minute's | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
silence at tomorrow's game against Morton for their former | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
midfielder, Arnold Peralta, who's been shot dead | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
in his hometown in Honduras. The 26-year-old player, | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
who was also a Honduran international, was at Ibrox for 18 | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
months until January this year. Reports say he was shot | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
from a passing motorbike Police say it appears to have been | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
an unprovoked attack. A third diesel-electric hybrid ferry | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
has been launched on the Clyde. The ship, named Catriona, was built | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
by Ferguson Marine Engineering in Port Glasgow and is designed | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
to operate on short CalMac crossing routes around the Clyde | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
and Hebrides. It is the first ship built | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
at the yard since Clyde Blowers billionaire Jim McColl | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
took over last year. CHEERING | :05:01. | :05:15. | |
Things got off to a sticky start and she needed a helping hand. But this | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
morning, Catriona was launched. She is the first ship to be built at the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
yard since it was saved after going in administration in August 2014. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
It's been great working in the shipyard, a great bunch of guys. You | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
are learning every day here. Camaraderie is brilliant. | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Management, foreman, you are always learning. I have a full-year | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
apprenticeship. I would like to stay longer. Keeping it in the family? | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
Yes, definitely. Workers here started building Catriona last | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
December. She was completed six months ahead of schedule. 15 months | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
ago, when the yard was taken over by Jim McColl, he had just five | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
employees. Today, there are 219. He's describing this as a rebirth of | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
merchant shipbuilding on the Clyde. We have two other ferries to build, | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
the one behind us is 48 metres, they are 100 metres, so twice the size of | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
this. And in volume terms, much bigger, so we have got that workload | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
over the next two years. We have also got a pipeline about 300 | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
million of enquiries for other ships. Catriona can carry 150 | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
passengers, 23 cars or two HGVs and runs on a low-carbon hybrid of | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
diesel and battery power and a whole new generation of children have come | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
to see her. Would you like to do this? Yeah, it would be great. Why? | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
I get to see all the great stuff going on and everything that | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
happens. I want to build the boat and do the electrical stuff. I | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
thought it would go much slower than it did. It went really fast. Would | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
you like to work on the boats one day? No. Catriona will begin her sea | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
trials in April and it is hoped she will be working on the shorter | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
routes in the summer. As for her name, Catriona was voted the most | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
popular in a competition, so maybe you will get a ferry named after you | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
in the future! You're watching Reporting | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
programme: The incredible story of the heroic | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
fisherman and his act of bravery Differing views from Celtic on this | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
season's European failure. The secret of St | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
Johnstone's success. And Townsend talks about his | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
new Glasgow Warriors A Scottish charity has reached | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
a milestone in its efforts to clear The Halo Trust - based at Thornhill | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
in Dumfries and Galloway - marked the clearing of 200,000 | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
landmines in the country yesterday. A 26-year civil war left Sri Lanka | :08:04. | :08:19. | |
one of the most mined territories on the planet. The Halo Trust started | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
clearance work here in 2002, seven years before the official end of | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
hostilities. 13 years later, they have made safe 200,000 | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
anti-personnel devices, nearly 1,000 anti-tank mines and several hundred | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
thousand other items of ordnance, such as bullets and aircraft bombs. | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
It is a huge number of mines. Halo completed clearance in Mozambique, | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
which was declared mine-free in September of this year, and after 22 | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
years of clearance there, we had cleared 170,000 mines, so 200,000 | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
gives you an idea of the density of the mine laying in Sri Lanka, which | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
is unusually high. Gradually, displaced people are returning to | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
land they were forced to flee. Families able to live, work and play | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
in safety for the first time in more than a generation. 100,000 have come | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
back so far, but 45,000 are still waiting. There's a big job to do. | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Halo cleared 16,000 mines last year, we are on target to clear 10,000 | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
mines this year. So there are a lot of mines to take out of the ground. | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
We won't know the number until we have finished. The target is for Sri | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Lanka to be declared mine-free in 2020. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
Tributes have been paid to the award-winning journalist | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
Ian Bell - who's died at the age of 59. | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
Ian Bell is best known for his work as a trenchant columnist and leader | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
writer for the Herald and Sunday Herald. | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
He won the Orwell Prize for political journalism in 1997. | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said he'd be sadly missed. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Magnus Llewellin, editor-in-chief of The Herald Times Group, | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
said he was a "great writer" and a "great man". | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
The town of Kilmarnock hasn't had its problems to seek in recent | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
years, with a series of job losses seriously affecting its economy. | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
But last night it received a prestigious award | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
for the regeneration of a town centre once blighted by empty shops | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
Our social affairs correspondent, Reevel Alderson, reports. | :10:23. | :10:35. | |
All change at Kilmarnock railway station, these offices are back in | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
use. This bookshop offers meeting space and activities for local | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
groups, one of a number of community enterprises that have breathed life | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
back into the town centre buildings. Industrial towns have seen better | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
days, tough times, but the council have put a lot of effort in and we | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
are supporting of what happened and to make the station a focal point as | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
well. Nearby, in another building once sadly neglected, people finding | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
it difficult to gain employment receive training in the hospitality | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
industry. Apart from refurbishing old buildings, the council has been | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
praised for relocating staff from offices around the town into the | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
centre. It is important that we keep the retailers in the town and try | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
and attract new retailers. That is why we moved our council staff into | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
the town centre, into refurbished buildings where they can spend in | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
the town. The success of this project can be measured by the fact | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
that in contrast to many town centres in Scotland, every single | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
shop unit has been let for at least two years. The organisation behind | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
these awards says it is important the trend to out of town trading | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
estates is reversed. Towns are the place of business, of living, of | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
meaning for the people around that whole area. So it is important that | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
it works for business and for people to gather. He says regeneration of | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
neglected town centres has economic benefits which can help counter the | :12:18. | :12:18. | |
effects of recession. Sales of electric cars in Scotland | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
have reached a new record high. The news comes as the luxury | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
electric car manufacturer, Tesla, opens its first Scottish | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
showroom in Edinburgh. But are electric vehicles | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
a realistic alternative Our transport correspondent, | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
David Miller, has been finding out. Is this the future of motoring? The | :12:36. | :12:54. | |
Tesla Model S, this car has a range of 300 miles, an autopilot function | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
and a top speed of 155mph. It's electric in more ways than one! This | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
is a truly extraordinary vehicle to drive. It is one of the most | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
technologically advanced cars drive. It is one of the most | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
world. I could never hope to afford to buy one, but what Tesla is doing | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
here is demonstrating that electric vehicles can compete on performance | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
and even desirability. Electric cars are generating more and more | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
interest amongst buyers. This driver, who has already made this | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
switch, says he won't be going back. The big issue is about the ownership | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
costs, but if you add up how much it costs to run a regular car, you find | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
that the ownership costs are considerably lower. Last year, more | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
than 800 electric cars were sold in Scotland. That's more than the | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
previous three years combined. There are now more than 2,100 electric | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
vehicles on our roads. You don't need a deep pocket to buy one. In | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Orkney, electric vehicles are now a common sight. It's economics which | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
are driving the change here. A lot of people that have enquired have | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
their own wind turbines, so you are making your own fuel for your | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
vehicle in your back garden. So, up here in Orkney, with lots of | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
renewable energy, it's a real no-brainer. Supporters also argue | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
electric cars are helping us meet our climate change targets. Their | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
slogan in Orkney? No Co2. But what about range anxiety? The thing that | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
is hidden from people is the extent of the charging network in Scotland | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
so the publicly available charge points that are out and about, there | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
are over 500 in Scotland. That is still growing. It seems Scotland's | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
drivers are already on the road to an electric future. | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
A look at other stories from across the country. | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
The Muslim community in Aberdeen has launched a Winter Appeal, | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
to provide at least 1,000 free meals to the homeless in December. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
It comes at the end of a week in which Donald Trump said that | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
All he is trying to do is create divide and tension between the | :15:16. | :15:29. | |
communities within the UK. The Muslims can contribute a lot more to | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
the UK community. We have always been doing it but it is time we | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
shouted out about it a bit more. Northumberland Street in Edinburgh | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
has been named the country's most expensive with an average house | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
price of just over ?1.3 million. Half of Scotland's ten most | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
expensive streets are in the capital, according to research | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
by the Bank of Scotland. A pub quiz team from Kilmarnock have | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
released a single on social media in an effort to raise funds | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
for Syrian refugees. The group, calling themselves 5 | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
World, Paid for the recording of We Should Be A Family | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
from their winnings The pictures is what motivated me to | :16:09. | :16:23. | |
write the song. We saw kids and family in bereft conditions coming | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
off boats in the Med. That is a terrible situation, what could we do | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
to help? I thought could we write a song? | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
An otter cub found on a doorstep is being cared for by | :16:36. | :16:36. | |
The Scottish SPCA believe the cub became separated from its mother | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
It was discovered at the back door of a house in | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
The otter, which has been nicknamed Buddy, | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
Let's get all the sport now, from David. | :16:49. | :17:02. | |
One Celtic player said the team looked 'afraid' in Europe this | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
season - but the manager isn't in agreement. | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
The Scottish Premiership champions drew 1-1 against Fenerbache last | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
night in their final Europa League group match, | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
although their European campaign was over before that. | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
Celtic arrived back in Glasgow earlier today, with Ronnie Deila | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
saying positives have been taken from their trip to Turkey. | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
Home from Turkey, but that is the last European trip for Celtic this | :17:21. | :17:32. | |
season, after another disappointing Europa League campaign. It has been | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
basically one big anticlimax since August. Celtic through the group | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
stage without a win for the first time. Celtic's European form this | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
season is in stark contrast to their domestic showing. One player | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
believes he knows why. We obviously need to try more. We look a bit | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
afraid when it comes to the pressure. Hopefully we can get that | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
off our shoulders now and play better next year. No doubt the | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
manager will want to see that, but on the comments about being afraid, | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
he doesn't agree. I think frightened as the wrong word. Inexperienced is | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
important. We need to play games like yesterday, with that | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
atmosphere, and a different way of playing from the Scottish league. It | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
is experience that is important. It has gone through the lakes, and he | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
scores for Fenerbache. He plays it to the right of the box, it comes in | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
and it is 1-1. The equaliser meant a respectable result for Celtic last | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
night but the players know that the same can't be said of the campaign | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
as a whole. Celtic's next stop comes this Sunday | :18:55. | :18:55. | |
in Perth when they face an on form St Johnstone who are once again | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
pushing towards the top end of the Scottish Premiership, | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
but what has been the key We sent Brian McLauchlin | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
to find out. In the shadows of Matt dear | :19:04. | :19:14. | |
mid-Park, Saints players prepare for the visit of the champions. St | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
Johnstone currently sit in fourth place in the Scottish premiership, | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
but should we be surprised at that? History says not. The club have | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
finished in the top six in the past four seasons. That has come also | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
with European qualification, and they lifted the Scottish cup for the | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
first time just 18 months ago. But what is the key to their success? | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
Because we do a lot of our work early in January in signing players, | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
we are getting players with longer contracts, we have been able to have | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
a real stable squad and a squad that you only need two or three players | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
each season. We are creating a lot more chances, playing more expansive | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
football. We are reaping the benefits. Attracting new fans has | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
been a problem but it is a battle they are tackling head-on. We have a | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
great hard-core support. We are trying to get the younger generation | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
for next year. It helps when the club is successful. A book heralding | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
the first 130 years of St Johnstone was released this week. Keep winning | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
games, and a few new chapters may be required. | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
Gregor Townsend says he hopes to continue as Glasgow Warriors head | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
coach after his new contract expires in 2017. | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
He's agreed a one-year extension with Scottish Rugby - | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
but says he expects discussions about his future at this time | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Ground staff rolling up the covers today, the day after a new contract | :20:38. | :20:54. | |
was rolled out for the head coach. I was honoured and privileged and | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
grateful when I was offered the job. And I have loved my time here so far | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
and I want that to continue. He has led Warriors to a third-place finish | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
in the pro 12 League in 2013, second spot a year later, and this summer, | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
to the title. Now he is signed up until 2017, but what about after | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
that? My hope is to continue here but I will be reflecting this time | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
next year whether I am the right person for the job, whether the team | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
has continued to improve. I am sure we will be in discussions around | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
that time to see whether Scottish rugby want me, but also if it is the | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
right thing for me to stay. He may decide at that point that he has | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
done all he can do here. It is interesting that it squares with | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
Vern Cotter. The three big coaching job is all fall vacant at the same | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
time, so there will be speculation that he will move to the big job. | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
You could say that life is sweet for Gregor Townsend, especially because | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
he has been buying everybody doughnuts to celebrate his new | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
contract. He has tasted success at Glasgow Warriors and it seems he is | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
hungry for more. Yes, they were delicious but I | :22:16. | :22:16. | |
forgot to bring you any! An edition of the BBC's | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
Antiques Roadshow has uncovered the remarkable life of a fisherman | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
from the north-east. The programme, to be aired | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
on Sunday, features a collection It shows that not only | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
was he decorated for bravery in two World Wars but that he was also | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
honoured for rescuing survivors Craig Anderson has been | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
hearing his story. These are the medals won by John | :22:37. | :22:53. | |
Cargill, among them a military medal and a distinguished service medal, | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
honours awarded in both the first and Second World War is. But perhaps | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
the rarest and most intriguing is a titanic medal, awarded two crewmen | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
of the first vessel on the scene of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
I think when things were tough with the fishing, he would take himself | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
off to work deep sea. I think when they arrived on the scene, I think | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
Titanic, as far as I can remember him saying, the Titanic had sunk by | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
then, she had gone. But a lot of people in the water and many in | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
lifeboats, the lifeboats that they had got away. The collection | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
overwhelmed the expert when John took them to the Antiques road show | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
at Balmoral this summer. We have a group of medals for a man decorated | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
for gallantry over two wars, three times. As we know, the people who | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
were on the Carpe cor were given a medal. And he has one of those as | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
well, doesn't he? Because he has the titanic medal. In all the years I | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
have been collecting medals, this is the only one of these I have ever | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
held. You have made my year. John says that even into his 19 chakra | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
into his 70s, his grandfather was fit and up for action, although | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
modest about his heroic exploits. As far as I know, he was in pretty | :24:27. | :24:38. | |
tough battles, I think. Of course, the money shot in the Antiques road | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
show is exactly that, so I can't reveal just what the collection was | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
valued at before the programme goes out on Sunday. But for John | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Henderson, it is immaterial anyway, as his grandfather's decorations are | :24:52. | :24:52. | |
not for sale. Lets see what the weather has in | :24:53. | :25:04. | |
store this weekend. I bring good news. Good evening to you. Finally, | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
a well-deserved bit of settled weather for the weekend, looking | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
largely dry with sunshine. It will be cold but with lighter wind. This | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
evening, still some showers to content with, wintry in nature over | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
high ground. As the wind eases up, we lose the showers but we are left | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
with a legacy of ice on untreated surfaces tonight and tomorrow | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
morning. Widespread frost forming overnight, temperatures well below | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
freezing in many parts. A bit of a fly in the appointment tomorrow | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
morning, this weather front skirting the far south, introducing some | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
cloud and outbreaks of rain, possibly hill snow, but I think it | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
will be short lived because for most it will be a lovely start to the | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
day. Cold and frosty, with rain fringing the far south. That will | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
clear away. Come the afternoon, it will be brighter for the South West. | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
Similarly for the inner Hebrides, the Glasgow area as well, but it | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
will feel cold. Holding onto one or two showers for the Western Isles, | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
but some brightness coming through. One or two showers for the Northern | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
Isles. Dry, bright, sunny and cold for Inverness towards Aberdeenshire, | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
right across eastern Scotland. Temperatures on the cold side, so | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
wrap up warm. If you are heading hill walking, pretty good | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
conditions, great visibility. Wintry showers towards the north-west and | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
Rangers, but the wind will be light with no wind chill to speak of and | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
lovely visibility. Just a bit of hill snow across the far south | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
initially, but it should brighten up, and the wind is light. | :26:55. | :27:06. | |
And across eastern shores as well, similar conditions with good | :27:07. | :27:14. | |
visibility. Tomorrow evening, we hold onto drier conditions and | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
widespread frost quickly setting in. Just a few showers in the north. | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
Even colder overnight. Temperatures below freezing for many rural parts. | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
A cold and frosty start on Sunday but some lovely, crisp winter | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
sunshine, a beautiful day. It stays cold, but the threat of rain pushing | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
in from the West as we head into the afternoon. | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
The main news: Negotiators at the international | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
climate change conference in Paris are confident of reaching a deal to | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
combat global warning. The meeting has been extended until tomorrow, | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
when France says it will present a draft agreement. | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
I will be back at 8pm and with the late bulletin after the Ten O'Clock | :28:00. | :28:01. | |
