no idea. I don't know, mate. I don't to meet The Beatles. | :00:12. | :00:11. | |
after a three-week closure caused major disruption. | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
All but HGVs were allowed on - they won't get the chance | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Our reporter Lisa Summers has been following the day's events. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
5:20am, and the Forth Road Bridge was back in action. | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
Even Santa made an appearance to cheer on the passing traffic. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Vans, cars, buses and bikes make 90% of users. | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
They had a clear run across the water. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
It is nice to stretch your legs and get back in the swing of things. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
It's even been too busy to get the bike on. | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
From paying nothing to the best part of ?15 a day has been | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
For one small business about six a.m., it has been relieved. It added | :01:01. | :01:21. | |
a lot onto the route. Not so good the heavy goods vehicles, it is | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
another six weeks before they can cross. The industry says it will | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
cost ?40 million, affecting businesses across the country. | :01:32. | :02:19. | |
customers. The Scottish Government says it is set up a helpline for | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
lorry drivers and there is still quite a lot of work to be done on | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
the bridge in January, which means some restrictions overnight, and | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
then we will have the Parliamentary inquiry to try and establish whether | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
anything could have been done to stop disclosure happening in the | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
place. Remains found in West Lothian last | :02:36. | :02:36. | |
week have been confirmed as human. The find was made by a dog walker | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
last Thursday in a wooded area Police say they're now trying | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
to identify the person and establish The Scotch Whisky Association | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
has welcomed a ruling by the European Court of Justice | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
over the proposed introduction The court in Luxembourg said | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
the policy, which the drinks lobby opposes, contravenes | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
free trade laws. Scottish Government ministers say | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
they'll continue to argue that minimum pricing targets | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
problem drinkers. Our Home Affairs Correspondent | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
Reevel Alderson reports. Scotland has a troubled | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
relationship with alcohol. ?3.6 billion is the estimated | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
annual cost to the NHS Last year, there were more | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
than 35,000 alcohol-related The Government has proposed a 50p | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
minimum that European Court of Justice | :03:24. | :03:54. | |
was asked whether this policy Their ruling today is | :03:55. | :03:54. | |
far from definitive. Judges have passed that baton back | :03:55. | :03:54. | |
to the Court of Session in Edinburgh to determine whether an alternative | :03:55. | :03:54. | |
such as increasing alcohol The Scotch Whisky Association said | :03:55. | :03:55. | |
the ruling confirmed minimum unit What it does is really confirm 30 | :03:56. | :04:14. | |
years of European case law, it says that minimum pricing is a | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
restriction on trade in the EU and therefore it is illegal to choose | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
minimum pricing when there are other less restrictive means available. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
The Scottish Government also welcomed the ruling. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
Drinks taxes are reserved to Westminster, but | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
Ministers here say they will try to persuade Scottish judges that | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
minimum unit pricing targets drinkers. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
taxation affects all drinkers and drinks in the same way. Minimum | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
pricing targets those cheap, strong products that do the most harm so we | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
will argue strongly that it is actually a less restrictive measure | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
and more targeted and therefore more effective. Health | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
alcohol is 60% cheaper than it was in 1980 and it is vital that problem | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
drinking and the anti-social behaviour it causes are tackled. We | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
are really disappointed that this court case continues. We have 20 | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
people a week in Scotland dying of alcohol-related causes and that is | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
avoidable and the best way to reduce those deaths is to get this cheap | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
dangerous product of the market, and those deaths is to get this cheap | :05:22. | :05:46. | |
will be appealed to the UK Supreme Court. | :05:47. | :05:46. | |
It may be just two sleeps until Christmas, but Santa | :05:47. | :05:46. | |
and his reindeer have taken some time out of their busy schedule | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
to visit children in the north of Glasgow. | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
Pupils at Saracen Primary in Possilpark enjoyed breakfast | :05:51. | :05:51. | |
Our reporter Laura Maxwell joined them too. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
And when you're getting ready for a busy night, | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
some relaxing pampering is welcome too. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
I want an elf. breakfast and a last minute | :06:03. | :06:15. | |
All of this organised by Santa's other helpers - | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
They are in a place they love to come to. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
They are having a present, having a brilliant time here | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
and they are getting to see the reindeer. | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
That's an experience most children don't get to do. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Hopefully, today, we are creating a lifetime memory. | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
When the time came, Santa didn't disappoint. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Gifts specially chosen from the lists the children had written. | :06:41. | :06:54. | |
And when they finally got through the wrapping paper, delight. | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
I like to take a photo of the reindeer. | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
And get my presents and got Santa some presents. | :07:12. | :07:37. | |
Mums and dads too given a bag of Christmas treats. | :07:38. | :07:37. | |
They've put a wonderful day on for the kids and the kids have | :07:38. | :07:37. | |
That's all they've been speaking about all week, | :07:38. | :07:38. | |
Something different for the kids as well. | :07:39. | :07:39. | |
As Santa and his reindeer prepare to get back to work, | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Well, let's get the all important the weather outlook | :07:43. | :08:02. | |
rest of us. If Santa was aired tonight, he may get blown off | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
course, it is a wet and windy one right across the country, Gale force | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
or severe gales at times, and it is all courtesy of Eva, our fifth named | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
storm, but really it is a glancing blow as it pushes up the north-west | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
side of Scotland. It will bring spells of high winds and heavy rain | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
and we have Met Office yellow warnings to be aware of the both of | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
those. Argyll down to Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders, 60 mph, | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
but up towards the far west coast, the Western Isles and the | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
but up towards the far west coast, coast, Kerstholt 70 mph. Come | :08:46. | :08:46. | |
tomorrow morning, the overnight rain is clearing away and the wind is | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
easing of but still quite strong across the far north. If you are | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
journeying south of the border tomorrow, the overnight rain is | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
still in play down the spine of England down to the Isle of Wight | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
but the weather front is working eastwards and it is a cold front, so | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
behind it, the weather on the way. Boxing Day, that | :09:04. | :09:46. | |
second band of rain through Wales and into Cumbria and amber warning. | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
Temperatures on the up. Our next update is during Breakfast | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
at 6:25 tomorrow morning. But, from everyone on the late | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
team here, good night. | :09:59. | :10:00. |
