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.

News. Bye-bye.
