Tonight, on Reporting Scotland: New hope for steelworkers | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
in Lanarkshire, as a potential buyer emerges for the two mothballed | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
We have a special report from Aberdeen on how job cuts | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
in the oil industry are having a major impact on the mental | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
I was bursting into tears, crying, I actually thought of topping myself. | :00:18. | :00:35. | |
Also on the programme: A fond farewell as the helicopters and crew | :00:36. | :00:35. | |
of the Royal Navy's last search and rescue unit say goodbye | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
In sport - no definite news yet on the future of the out of favour | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
Celtic striker Anthony Stokes, despite interest from | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
And thousands of musicians descend on Glasgow for the start | :00:46. | :00:55. | |
There's new hope tonight for the future of the | :00:56. | :01:11. | |
The international metals firm, Liberty House, has confirmed to BBC | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Scotland that it's interested in buying Tata's mothballed | :01:17. | :01:17. | |
But the Scottish government says a deal is not guaranteed. | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell. | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
The steel mills of Lanarkshire need a new owner, if they're to forge a | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
future. Interest from liberty house is welcome. I'm hopeful we will make | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
progress, but I do not wish to raise expectations and then see them | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
dashed. But we're working optimistically, and this is a very | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
positive development today. For all the workforce who are affected in | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
particular. In recent months, many steelworkers have been laid off. The | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
nearby Clyde bridge are being mothballed. In fact, a process known | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
as quenching came to an end at Clyde bridge this afternoon, but key | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
workers have been kept on, to make these plants is attractive as | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
possible to a potential buyer. In Motherwell locals say they cannot | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
afford to lose steel. It's pretty bad, because it is pulling the place | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
apart. You can see the state of Motherwell, it is pretty bad right | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
now. A lot of jobs are lost. UK steel is struggling to compete with | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
cheap Chinese imports and the consequences are harsh. In October | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Tata announced 270 job losses at Clyde bridge and DL and more in | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
Scunthorpe. By Christmas Tata was in talks with Grable capital to sell | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
all three site and some others. Today International metals firm | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
Liberty House confirmed its interest implying that two Scottishness. | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
Given the condition of the steel market globally, it is probably in | :03:18. | :03:18. | |
the best interests of the Scottish plants to go it alone. We believe | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
the business model would sustain that. That means cutting costs by | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
buying steel from the international rather than the UK market. 25,000 | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
men work for the Scottish division of the steel Corporation. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Never again will steel be Scotland's largest industrial employer, but it | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
may still have a profitable future. Having recently saved this steel | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
works in south Wales and another in the West Midlands, there is now a | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
chance the liberty group could do the same for Scottish steel. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
The growing number of job cuts in the oil industry is having | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
a "massive and dangerous" impact on the mental health of workers, | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
according to a leading support group. | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
More than 700 job losses in the sector have been announced | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Some 65,000 people are facing an uncertain future | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
The suicide-prevention group "Choose Life" says it's vital those | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
affected seek help, as Fiona Stalker reports. | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
I was bursting into tears, crying. Me and my wife were arguing, at each | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
other's throats. This oil worker Buzz Matte world fell apart when he | :04:38. | :04:38. | |
lost his job. It took him to the darkest places. I came out of the | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
job that day and burst into tears. I actually thought of topping myself, | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
until I saw my little boy's picture on my phone. There are some very | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
visible signs of the downturn in Aberdeen, but experts say this | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
problem is often hidden. There are indications that what is happening | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
in the oil and gas industries is impacting on our society does. This | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
is a worrying trend. As part of the choose life group and choose life | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
community, we target the north-east of Scotland, to try and get the | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
choose life message out there. It's OK to talk about suicide, and | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
especially OK to go and seek help when you need it. Many may not need | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
that help but there are calls to live a more concerted support for | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
those who do. They are broken, a lot of the most touristy hurt by it. | :05:39. | :05:39. | |
Husbands and wives, sitting crying in cars. Lives completely ruin. It | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
is very difficult. I know a few of them are struggling and are seeking | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
support with the problems they are facing, financial problems, | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
relationship problems, just break down of the family. It was fear of a | :06:02. | :06:02. | |
family breakdown that led this oil worker to finally seek help. My | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
little boy is worth more than that, so I ended up going for counselling. | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
I found the counselling quite helped. I felt a bit more | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
worthwhile. And support staff hope the story of one oil worker will | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
help with the darkness facing many more in the weeks ahead. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
If you've been affected by any of the issues raised in that report, | :06:28. | :06:28. | |
you can call the BBC Action Line to hear recorded information | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
about organisations that offer advice and support. | :06:32. | :06:34. | |

Still to come on tonight's programme: | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
Helicopters and crew of the Royal Navy's last search | :06:53. | :06:53. | |
and rescue unit at HMS Gannet take part in a final | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
In sports, the Celtic striker who's in demand... | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
Glasgow Warriors want an artificial surface at the Scotstoun Stadium. | :07:02. | :07:14. | |
One of the first people in Scotland to benefit from a new surgical | :07:15. | :07:15. | |
treatment for emphysema has been speaking about the huge improvement | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
Patricia McCall had tiny valves inserted in her lungs as part | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
of a trial of the devices at the Golden Jubilee | :07:30. | :07:29. | |
Our health correspondent Eleanor Bradford reports. | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
Nine months ago, just cleaning her windows would have left Patricia | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
gasping for breath. It mentioned had to give up her job as a cleaner, | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
after a life of smoking, she told me how her emphysema had left her | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
virtually housebound. It's like someone has that aren't around you | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
and crushing you and someone else has their hands over your mouth. Not | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
enough air. Although Patricia couldn't breathe, her lungs were | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
actually huge because they were trying to compensate the damaged | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
tissue. Normally the lungs should be approximately that size, and you can | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
see the diaphragms have been pushed right down and the lungs are much | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
bigger than they should be. Lung surgeon Alan Clark was testing out | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
this new valve and Patricia was the first person on his trial. Going | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
down through the throat, the titanium and silicon valves were | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
placed inside her lung. They allow air to come out of damaged areas, | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
but not to go in, diverted yet just a healthy parts. If the valves are | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
put in place so that no air can get in, ultimately that air will seep | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
out through the one-way valve, shrinking it right down, so that as | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
the patient breathes normally, under normal conditions, air cannot get | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
into that damaged part. It replaces the need for major surgery and costs | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
the same. Patricia now feels so much better she is planning her first | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
holiday in a decade. Everybody I see, they cannot get over how good | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
I'm looking. At 1.I said to my sister, everybody's telling me, what | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
did I look like before it? She said, I wouldn't want to say. Because the | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
procedure conducted here is part of the trial it is not available to | :09:23. | :09:23. | |
most people yet. But doctors hope it could be suitable for up to a third | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
of emphysema patients, a condition particular, in Scotland. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
A Glasgow man who murdered his neighbour in a row over dog fouling, | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
will serve at least 14 years in jail. | :09:39. | :09:39. | |
28 year Martin Carroll repeatedly stabbed Stephen Gannon | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
in their tenement close in Springburn last August. | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
Carroll later told his grandmother, "I've done something stupid." | :09:49. | :10:00. | |
Today sees the launch of Sport Relief . | :10:01. | :10:01. | |
It was set up fourteen years ago to bring together the worlds | :10:02. | :10:02. | |
of sport and entertainment to raise money to help vulnerable people. | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
Suzanne Allan went to meet one of the sporting ambassadors, | :10:07. | :10:07. | |
Judy Murray, who has seen first hand how it's helping communities | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
It is a windy Wednesday in Easterhouse and the lady behind the | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
store is about to get a big surprise. Very nice. Delivering the | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
winter food package for older people, run by community project | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
Fair is one of sport relief's ambassadors, Judy Murray. It was set | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
up 26 years ago by volunteers who wanted something positive for a part | :10:39. | :10:39. | |
of Glasgow renowned for gang violence and social problems. It now | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
runs everything from clubs for the elderly to sports and youth | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
programmes and is partly funded by sport relief. Giving them an | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
activity to do, particularly on weekends and in school holidays, | :10:53. | :10:53. | |
when those are the key times young people with no school to go to could | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
get into trouble, and they create all sorts of opportunities, not just | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
within the area but taking it off site to do things like mountain | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
biking. Things they might not have been able to do. To give them a | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
sense of belonging and that somebody believes in them. The wind winter | :11:15. | :11:15. | |
food drop reaches the elderly, and in it are essentials of porridge, | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
sugar and eggs. Many residents in this part of Easterhouse cannot | :11:23. | :11:22. | |
leave the house or are a freighter. When this boy was young, some of the | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
streets around him a no go areas. Not any more. I can walk area to | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
area and I don't have to worry about any gangs or any violence or any | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
fighting. Stephen Walker is in sixth year and wants to be a youth worker, | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
so gives talks in schools. I go to primary schools and talk to them. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
They will see it through your prospective. You have witnessed all | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
this stuff, gang violence, drugs and alcohol. Easterhouse has changed a | :11:56. | :12:05. | |
lot in the last ten years. Part of it can be explained by projects like | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
this and others in this area, working together to change attitudes | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
and bring people together. Over the years anti-social behaviour has | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
dropped. People are feeling a bit more safer and looking at younger | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
people in a different light now. These projects mean they can work | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
together, speak together and realise they have a lot of common interests. | :12:30. | :12:30. | |
Today is the launch for sport relief. The event itself is on the | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
13th of March. A look at other stories | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
from across the country: A 20-year-old driver has been jailed | :12:37. | :12:37. | |
for four and a half years for causing the deaths of two people | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
in a crash in Ayrshire nearly Gary Nicholson from Stewarton | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
was said to have been driving at speeds approaching 100 miles | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
an hour, when he lost control of his car killing one | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
of his passengers, AND 52 year old Patricia Brown who had been | :12:57. | :12:57. | |
travelling in another car. Police have named a worker killed | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
on a major bridge construction site in Aberdeen as 58 year | :13:04. | :13:04. | |
old Ian Walker from Dundee. The incident happened late yesterday | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
afternoon at the so-called It's alleged to have taken place | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
outside Chancers Nightclub around The writer and artist Alasdair Gray | :13:14. | :13:29. | |
has been discharged from hospital. The 81 year-old was treated | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
for serious injuries, after falling outside his home | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
in June last year. Despite his injuries, | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
he's continued to work over the last few months - on a translation | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
of work by the poet Dante. A 30 year old from Aberdeenshire has | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
become the first Scot to complete a solo, unassisted trek | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
to the South Pole. Luke Robertson, who's | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
originally from Stonehaven, completed his 41-day journey | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
in the early hours of this morning. He took on the challenge | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
for charity, after recovering It's really just starting to come | :13:59. | :14:13. | |
on, the enormity of what we've actually managed to achieve. And I | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
think right back from his illness, to come through that and then have | :14:22. | :14:22. | |
that drive and ambition to do what he's done, we are all in awe. Very | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
proud of what he's done. Robert Plant, Kris Kristofferson, | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
the Chieftains and Aly Bain are among the two and a half | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
thousand artists who'll appear The winter music festival, | :14:40. | :14:39. | |
which begins in Glasgow tonight, brings together all sorts | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
of traditions from across the world. Our arts correspondent | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
Pauline McLean reports. Rehearsals for the opening concert, | :14:47. | :14:58. | |
this one celebrating the 50th anniversary of the traditional music | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
of Scotland. Many songs are still passed from family to family, but | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
festivals like this are now reaching a wider audience. I performed first | :15:10. | :15:19. | |
at Keltic Connections when I was 13 and it has been an amazing journey, | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
for me to watch the festival develop as it has, what a wonderful place. | :15:26. | :15:34. | |
To start off the festival, celebrating traditional song here in | :15:35. | :15:35. | |
Glasgow in the Royal concert Hall with some of the finest musicians | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
and singers we have here in Scotland. And indeed the world. The | :15:39. | :15:48. | |
festival has artists from around the world from the Outer Hebrides to | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
inner Mongolia, the Western Isles to West Africa. Who would have thought | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
that someone playing a traditional instrument from Africa would be | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
playing in a concert Hall with the Scottish National Orchestra? That is | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
the extent of the connections we've reached, where anything goes. And | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
that spills over into the city's streets and the pubs and clubs, | :16:16. | :16:16. | |
where traditional music can be heard all year round. We are centres for | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
the folk revival of the 1950s and 60s, and in fact it is said the | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
father of protest music, when he spent a few days in Glasgow in the | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
1940s, played a gig in the Victoria bar and spent a lot of time enjoying | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
the hospitality. With 26 pages and 2500 performers it is the place to | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
be for the next two and a half weeks. And it all kicks off this | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
evening. This is the place to be right now, with David! | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
He may be out of favour at Celtic but Anthony Stokes is in demand | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
elsewhere. Dundee United have agreed a deal | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
with Celtic to take Anthony Stokes on loan, but the striker won't be | :17:12. | :17:12. | |
heading to Tannadice. He is likely to move somewhere | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
before the end of the month, but for now the Irishman | :17:18. | :17:18. | |
is keeping his options open. Here's our senior football | :17:19. | :17:19. | |
reporter Chris McLaughlin. He's scored almost 60 goals in 135 | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
appearances for Celtic. It seems for now he's on his way. Where? A host | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
of clubs are interested including Hibs, Inverness and Dundee United. | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
But it seems he's decided against Tannadice. We do realise how these | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
things go. Like I said, we put an offer on the table. Some players are | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
more willing to join us than others. You need to be a strong character to | :17:52. | :17:52. | |
join us at the moment. It leaves Hibs and Inverness, could he be | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
heading north? It doesn't sound like it. You must be really fit at this | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
moment in time, really fit, because last time I got a text four days | :18:05. | :18:05. | |
ago, telling me, he phoned me after training. It was four days ago, he | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
must have been training for the last four days. It's understood Easter | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
Road is still an option and talks are ongoing. Decisions, decisions. | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
He has exactly 17 days to make up his mind. | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
The twenty five year old scored against the Championship leaders | :18:32. | :18:32. | |
at Ibrox last September in the League Cup, one of his four | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
Promotion chasing Championship club Falkirk have given their manager | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
Peter Houston signing up till the summer of 2018. | :18:40. | :18:50. | |
I don't know if this is how he feels right now ...but it's him at last | :18:51. | :19:00. | |
He says he's delighted to continue the challenge of getting back | :19:01. | :19:01. | |
Glasgow Warriors say there may be an end in sight to the problems | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
They've had a spate of matches postponed or moved because it's | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
unplayable. unplayable. | :19:14. | :19:13. | |
Their solution: replacing it with an artificial surface. | :19:14. | :19:14. | |
They say they're hopeful a deal with Glasgow City Council | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
who own their Scotstoun stadium is close. | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Warriors players seem to be enjoying life, training today outdoors and on | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
a firm surface. A bit of a treat because this isn't their pitch. This | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
is waterlogged again and unfit for the purposes of training or playing. | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
Warriors have switched their next home game to Kilmarnock football | :19:46. | :19:46. | |
club's artificial surface. In terms of competitive matches we've played | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
Cardiff Blues in the league, I enjoyed playing on a surface you | :19:55. | :19:55. | |
know, that'll be consistent every time you play on it, it could really | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
benefit the team. Along high kick. Scotland played Tonga at | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
Kilmarnock's Rugby Park a couple of years ago and the Warriors head | :20:09. | :20:08. | |
coach wants a similar service installed at his team's Stadium. I'm | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
a big fan of this type of service. Given replay in the northern | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
hemisphere and the wet weather that comes to the west of Scotland. We | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
haven't had this surface all season round to play the rugby we want to | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
play. To have a change in that would be great, to be able to play and not | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
have games postponed would be a huge bonus. They are confident their | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
coach's wish will be granted and positive about discussions they've | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
had with Glasgow City Council. Funding will have to be secured | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
before Scotstoun goes synthetic. Some of the world's best women | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
curlers are in Glasgow over 24 rinks from 11 countries | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
are gathering at Braehead ice rink for the ninth Glynhill Ladies | :20:51. | :20:59. | |
International. Among the teams taking part | :21:00. | :20:59. | |
are the European champions from Russia, led by Anna Sidorova, | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
and the Olympic silver medallists from Sweden, skipped | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
by Margaretha Sigfridsson. It's very nice to be in Scotland, | :21:08. | :21:08. | |
it's the home land of curling, of course. So we don't go there very | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
often. They have worked with ice conditions a lot, it's improved. | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
Those are the things we want to hear when we go somewhere. | :21:19. | :21:34. | |
The helicopters and crew of the Royal Navy's last search | :21:35. | :21:35. | |
and rescue unit at HMS Gannet at Prestwick have been taking part | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
The service has been taken over by the Maritime and | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
Cameron Buttle joined them as they made their lap of honour | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
Callsign 177 ticks of the air for the final time. -- takes to the air | :21:46. | :21:57. | |
for the final time. Flying in formation the two Sea Kings that | :21:58. | :21:58. | |
made up the Royal Navy search and rescue team based at Prestwick. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Their route would take them over their old patch, the huge swathe of | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
the country that stretched 98,000 square miles. They rescued thousands | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
of people from all over it. This is the last flight of the HMS Gannett | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
search and rescue unit were the last chance to see much loved helicopters | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
in the Royal Navy. People have been standing out across the route to | :22:25. | :22:25. | |
wish them well. They followed the Clyde through Glasgow, past the | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
hospitals they've delivered patients to. Then a graceful turn north into | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
the Highlands and mountains. The scene of some of their most daring | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
rescues. On the ground, rescue teams from all over fired flares, waved | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
and called in. It's all understood, once again, thank you very much for | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
all your support and help over the many years. A genuine show of | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
affection for what we've done. You see how many people are around, the | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
different types of people supporting us, whether it's fire brigade, and | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
villains service, just ordinary individuals. These teams have seen | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
these hills and mountains at their deadly worst, in blizzards and | :23:20. | :23:20. | |
gales, but today, appropriately, it was simply breathtaking. Final | :23:21. | :23:31. | |
stages. Flight circled around Stirlingshire over the Forth Road | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
Bridge and a special moment, down through the capital, past the | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
castle, down Princes Street, over Arthur 's seat. And finally the last | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
touchdown back at base. A lot more emotional than I thought it would | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
be, a couple of the group mentioned that as we were taxiing out, being | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
the people who turned out to say goodbye. It was an emotional moment. | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
Really fabulous trip, quite emotional for all of us, great to | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
see everybody out there waving and sorry it's over, but it's been | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
fabulous. HMS Gannett was the last ever military search and rescue | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
unit. The Coast Guard has now taken over, but after four decades in the | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
air over Scotland, today was, quite simply, the end of an era. | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
What a gorgeous country we live in. Shelley has details of Scotland | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
2016. How do we protect children from explicit images on the | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
Internet? I'll be speaking to the woman who teaches five-year-olds how | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
to beat pawn aware. And Britain's first Muslim MP tells me how he | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
thinks goodish labour just wasn't ready a black MP. Join me on BBC Two | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
at 10:30pm. -- Scottish Labour. The helicopters were lucky with their | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
weather. Weather watchers have been out in force, let me show you a few, | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
Sally. Beautiful skies and snow on the ground here in Perthshire | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
earlier on. And snowy scenes in Midlothian as well, this was earlier | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
this morning. Even if you wanted snow and didn't have it, hopefully | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
blue skies will have put a spring in your step. The number of showers on | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
the radar this evening... A win to reach mix of them, they will | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
continue overnight. We have Met Office be aware warning for snow and | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
ice. The northern and western parts of the country. The further east you | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
are it should stay dry. Showers continue to feed their way in on a | :25:33. | :25:33. | |
fresh north-westerly and the wins for Shetland gusting to gale force | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
overnight. To the east of the spine of the country largely dry, it'll be | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
cold wherever you are with risk of ice. Temperatures in towns and | :25:47. | :25:47. | |
cities the role-minus two. In the countryside anything to minus six. | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
We could see issues on the roads around Glasgow towards Ayrshire, | :25:56. | :25:55. | |
Dumfries and Galloway and Lanarkshire. Through the day, | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
showers clear. Plenty of sunshine around, largely dry but with wins in | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
the north we start to see showers affecting more northern and | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
north-eastern parts. By mid-afternoon its triad bright for | :26:10. | :26:10. | |
the Central Belt and southwards. On the West Coast 5-6dC, but for many a | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
chilly 2-3. Wintry showers coming in on the northerly especially towards | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
Western Aberdeenshire, the Inverness area and the far north. One or two | :26:24. | :26:25. | |
showers, too, for Orkney and Shetland. The winds easing down. | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
Towards evening wintry showers peppering the east coast for a | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
while. In many areas, dry, clear and cold. Temperatures approaching minus | :26:37. | :26:36. | |
double digits, especially where there is snow cover. Into the | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
weekend, dry, fine weather around. A cold start but plenty of sunshine. I | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
cloud pushing in from the west during the day turning things milky, | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
but dry. Severe frost wherever you are, really very cold weather | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
indeed, that's the forecast. A reminder of tonight's main news. | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
New hope for the future of the Scottish steel industry. Liberty | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
house has confirmed it interested in buying mothballed sites in | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
Lanarkshire. Five people involved in the Hatton Garden robbery. The men, | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
Bill Lincoln, huge oil and Carl Wood there were led by a group of | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
experienced chemicals, they still jewellery and valuables worth an | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
estimated ?40 million over Easter weekend last year. I'll be back with | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
a headline that it PM and the late bulletin just after the ten o'clock | :27:40. | :27:41. | |
News. Until then, good | :27:42. | :27:43. |
