How adding folic acid to all flour could cut the number of children | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
I know plenty of people that have had late pregnancies or not found | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
out who don't know to take folic acid, so if it was in the bread, it | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
would reduce the risk of it happening. | :00:28. | :00:27. | |
Around 80 countries around the world already add it to their flour. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Climate change experts say they're concerned about cuts | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
to the Scottish Government's spending on measures designed | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
The Dounreay nuclear site closed more than 20 years ago, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
but engineers are still decommissioning the plant's main | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
The value of Scotland's farmed salmon exports drops, | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
with some key markets down by almost a third. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
And the weather Down Under makes Andy Murray feel at home, | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
ahead of his third round match at the Australian Open. | :00:57. | :01:14. | |
Scotland could be the first part of the UK to add | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Concerns are mounting that there could be an increase | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
in birth defects if the supplement isn't added. | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
A decision has been delayed by the Westminster government. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
Folic acid plays a crucial role in preventing birth defects such | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
as spina bifida, but most women don't eat enough to minimise | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Here's our health correspondent Eleanor Bradford. | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
Are you putting the baby in the bed? Linen's mum was planning her wedding | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
and did not know she was pregnant until a scan showed Sewell -- she | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
was seven months gone and that her baby had spina bifida. Orange Micro | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
trying to get over the shock of having a baby in a few weeks' time | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
but also that she had spina bifida. We were terrified before she came | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
along. But the doctors were very good, they talked us through | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
everything that would happen, before she came. Lily is one of an | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
estimated 2000 babies born in the last 16 years in the UK whose | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
disability could have been prevented if folic acid had been added to the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
food chain. Folic acid is found in several foods but particularly | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
green, leafy vegetables. It is vital in pregnancy to prevent brain and | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
spine defects but 85% of women don't get enough. That means if they have | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
an unplanned pregnancy or don't take supplements, their babies at risk. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
16 years ago, the US started adding folic acid to flour. The number of | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
affected pregnancies fell and there were no adverse effects. In | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Scotland, it's a different story. Every week in Scotland, there's | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
another new pregnancy affected. Are you frustrated by the lack of action | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
so far? It's a bit frustrating because this has gone on for years | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
now. The evidence is clear. Fortification absolutely works. That | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
frustration is clearly shared by the Scottish Government, who told the | :03:17. | :03:16. | |
BBC:. If Scotland does decide to go ahead | :03:17. | :03:36. | |
and add folic acid to flour, it would have wide repercussions. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Supply lines don't end at the border. UK manufacturers may just | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
add it to all their bread. For Yvonne, it can't come soon enough. I | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
know plenty of people who have hardly pregnancies or not found out | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
or don't know to take folic acid. If it was in the flour, it would reduce | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
the risk of it happening. Eleanor Bradford, Reporting Scotland. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Scotland's record on tackling climate change and fuel poverty | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
is under renewed scrutiny, amidst criticism of the Scottish | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
government's plan to cut spending on measures designed | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
Ministers have defended their record. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Our environment correspondent, David Miller, reports. | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
These are the experts who advise the UK and Scottish governments on | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
climate change. They have been meeting in Edinburgh. High on the | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
agenda, the Scottish Guzman's plan to cut climate spending by almost | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
10%. What we will hold their feet to the fire about is, do they achieve | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
the end? Do they cut the omissions? Do they help detect the world from | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
climate change? Do they keep a Scotland which is worth living in | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
for our children and grandchildren? Critics say the cuts will make it | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
harder for Scotland to fight fuel poverty as well as climate change. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
This year, the number of people in fuel poverty is the same as last | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
which is not a standard which should be acceptable. If we want to tackle | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
climate change and improve the quality of Scottish homes and make | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
sure no one lives very hard to heat home, we need to increase the budget | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
for energy efficiency to at least what it was last year but ideally | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
above that so we can begin to invest in improving housing stock. Last | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
year, ministers pledged spending on climate change would be a priority. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
We will ensure that climate change is a top priority through a Cabinet | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
agreement to embed climate change in the autumn budget process. But | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
campaigners say there is no evidence that has happened. In response, Dr | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
McLeod said:. Renewable energy is an area where | :05:34. | :05:50. | |
the committee sees Scotland as an example to the rest of the UK. But | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
members are warning more must be done on energy efficiency, | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
especially in social housing. Scotland does have some of the | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
world's most ambitious climate change policies. But interim targets | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
have repeatedly been missed. Ministers are finding their pledges | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
are coming under increasingly intense scrutiny. David Miller, | :06:12. | :06:18. | |

Still to come on tonight's programme. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Gyspy travellers in South Ayrshire receive financial help, | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
a month after Storm Frank flooded them out of their homes. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
In sport, Andy Murray's got a new adversary to contend | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
with at the Australian Open: the Aussie rain. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Despite four defeats on the spin, Glasgow Warriors | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
are in high spirits, but can they end their losing streak? | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
Scotland's biggest fish farm business - | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Marine Harvest - announced earlier this week that it was losing | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
But now Reporting Scotland has seen new figures, which show just how | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
The volume of fish sold to key markets round the world fell | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
We know that up to 100 jobs are going from Marine Harvest. | :07:09. | :07:23. | |
But now we also know just how tough the past year has been for the whole | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
fish farming industry. The value of exports sold around the world was | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
down by more than ?100 million last year, a fall of over 20% compared | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
with the year before. 2015 was a challenging year. A number of things | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
happen. The Russian trade embargo was announced in late 2014. And | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
currency has changed dramatically. Our largest competitor is Norway and | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
their currency has dropped against the pound over 25%. The two major | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
things have compiled -- conspired against us. Looking in detail at key | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
export markets, the amount of fish sold to Europe went up by a tiny | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
amount but sales to the USA and Canada were down by more than 28% | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
and the Far East was down by almost the same amount. -- volume going to | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
the Far East. Almost 6000 jobs are directly relied on the Scottish | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
salmon industry and in some fragile communities. But exports are | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
volatile and there's a lot of factors out of our control which | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
impact whether they go up or down. But generally, we are seeing big | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
investment in the salmon industry. We need to buy the structure to | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
allow it to grow because the demand is there. -- to find the structures. | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
We should know where the Marine Harvest jobs are going within the | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
next month but the rest of the industry might be looking to cut its | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
costs, too. We have remained static about production for 15 years and | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
costs have been rising during that time. We can sustain and withstand | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
that when prices are good and when the market is good but when things | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
go as they did in 2015, it makes it much more challenging. Of course, | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
the problem is that fish farm jobs tend to be in summer Scotland's most | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
rural communities, where other work may be hard to find. Huw Williams, | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
Reporting Scotland. Family and friends of those who've | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
been killed in terrorist attacks overseas are being asked | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
what they would like to see as a memorial, and where | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
it should be sited. Plans for a national memorial | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
to remember Britons killed by terrorism abroad were announced | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
by the Prime Minister last year. 44-year-old aid worker David Haines, | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
a father of two from Perth, was murdered by Islamic State | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
terrorists in Syria in 2014. I think, for myself, I have thought | :09:36. | :09:48. | |
about this. I think maybe a garden of remembrance but with plaques | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
depicting the faces of my brother and the other people who have been | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
lost to terrorism. Engineers at the Dounreay nuclear | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
site in Caithness are beginning a crucial phase in decommissioning | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
the plant's main reactor. It was shut down in 1994, | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
but the task of dismantling highly radioactive components continues, | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
with robots and the memories of some long serving-staff | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
called in to help. Back in the 1950s, it was the | :10:16. | :10:29. | |
nuclear dream, the white heat of technology that would provide | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
limitless cheap energy. But by the end of the century, the UK's atomic | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
fast breeder project had been snuffed out. This test rig is | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
designed to replicate the conditions engineer 's will have to face when | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
they begin dismantling Dounreay's prototype fast reactor. They are | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
testing robotic tools, is specially designed on-site to be remotely | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
operated within the highly radioactive innards of the reactor | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
vessel. What we are doing is dividing tools to go into cut nuts | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
and separate components so we can physically lift them out through a | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
small penetration at the top of the reactor. Various drills, cutters and | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
grabs have been devised and tested. Although the reactor was shut down | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
more than 20 years ago, sending in humans would be fatal. You can't | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
build a tool and put it straight into the reactor. If you have any | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
problems, the thing will be contaminated. And then there's no | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
way of decontaminating it you can't modify it. We have two ensure that | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
each tool works perfectly. It is fortunate that a few senior staff, | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
who have worked on the site since the 1960s and 1970s, are still | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
around to help. There's very few people left that are still working | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
that have the knowledge, the intense knowledge, have crawled through | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
every corner of the reactor vessel and this is where I come in with the | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
help with Calder. When he is designing his tools, I can visualise | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
where they are going. When they were building the plant at Dounreay, some | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
of the best engineering brains in the country were imported for what | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
was a pioneering experiment. Now the plant is being decommissioned, there | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
is some irony but also symmetry in the fact that the same brains are | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
being used to find solutions to help dismantle it. The site is aiming to | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
be the European reference site for decommissioning. The NDA supports | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
that. It has to be good for the UK and it is also having to be good for | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
any contractors working on the project, to allow them to bid for | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
work elsewhere in Europe. Engineers expect it will take another ten | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
years to completely dismantle the reactor. Craig Anderson, Reporting | :12:43. | :12:45. | |

Gypsy travellers in South Ayrshire say they were largely left to fend | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
for themselves, after Storm Frank flooded them out of their homes | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
South Ayrshire Council have confirmed that the travellers | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
are now receiving flood payments of ?1500 each, | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
but families living at the site in Girvan say they were left | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
with nothing and still need extra assistance. | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
A family home that became a family disaster. During last month's | :14:55. | :15:10. | |
storms. We came back and it was devastation. Everyone was screaming. | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
My brother was trying to get to the kids to the top of the hill. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
Everyone made it by half an hour and then we were up to our necks. The | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
travelling community at this site in Girvan could do nothing but watch | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
their caravans being washed away. The water was up to here in the | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
caravans. As you can see, everything is destroyed. The outhouses, | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
education block, children's playground, kitchen facilities and | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
toilets were all submerged. This site has been flooded before by the | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
River Gervin, just behind me, but for the last four years, this pump | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
here has kept the waters at bay. But on the night of Storm Frank, nothing | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
could keep the waters from coming in. Eight families, including nine | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
children and an elderly couple, asked the council for help. They | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
gave us generators and petrol for a week. They did not supply any water. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
I pay my taxes and my rent and that is the way they treat me. We have | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
stayed in caravans all our lives. Travellers have been here for | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
millions of years in Kent and caravans. Why do they expect us to | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
go into a house which is not ours? It is not our culture. Despite the | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
travellers feeling neglected, the council say they are doing their | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
bit. We have provided them with temporary accommodation where | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
requested. Where it was not requested, we have supported them in | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
other ways. Do you think you've done enough? It's an awful situation the | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
travellers have faced and we will continue to work with them. In terms | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
of have we done enough, we continue to work with them and anything we | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
can do to support, along with the community and other organisations, | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
we will continue to provide them. For now, some of the travellers are | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
camped at the entrance, in borrowed caravans. They refused to leave. Are | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
you expecting special treatment? No, no, I just want our caravans and a | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
piece of land and some activity. We don't want the world. Although they | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
can't live here, they are watching over it and fiercely protecting it | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
until the help they feel they need arrives. | :17:18. | :17:23. | |

round opponent at the Australian Open. | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
That's despite beating Joao Sousa in all six previous meetings. | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
The pair meet tomorrow morning, and as Kheredine Idessane reports, | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
Murray's preparation has had a decidedly Scottish feel to it. | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
Well, Andy Murray must have felt particularly at home in Melbourne | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
this afternoon because for large parts of the day it was raining and | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
it meant large parts of the tennis schedule were completely wiped out, | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
not good news for the players who had to practice in doors, and not | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
good for the fans either who had to take shelter or cover up until the | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
rain finally cleared away. Andy Murray is trying to clear away into | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
the second week at the Australian open, next up tomorrow is Joao | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
Sousa, from Portugal who handy Murray has beaten in each of their | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
six matches. Something the Portuguese is determined to rectify | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
tomorrow. I've tried to learn in every match that I play against him. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
I tried to learn what I have done and not done well. So this time I | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
hope it is going to be a different thing. For sure, I will give my best | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
and I'm playing well. He knows how to win matches and he understands | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
the game well, and he gets the most out of his game. So if I play well I | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
have got a good chance obviously, but he is the sort of player that if | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
your level is not quite there he will make it tough. As he did when I | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
played him at the French Open, I was in a bit of trouble against him | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
there. It's another trip to the second show court, the Margaret | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
Court Arena against Joao Sousa. They will start at 8pm for a place in the | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
fourth round against an Aussie, either Bernard Tomic or John | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
Millman. In football, there's | :19:28. | :19:28. | |
a hugely significant match tomorrow, one midfielder John Rankin | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
says they simply must win. United are bottom of | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
the Premiership, 14 points behind Kilmarnock, | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
who they play at Tannadice. Defeat would mean relegation | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
is increasingly likely for United. This is probably the biggest game in | :19:38. | :19:53. | |
my career. I have played in European ties. And cup finals, but this is | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
bigger than any cup final. We have to win tomorrow. There is no shying | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
away from it. Everybody knows that. It is pressure. To be honest it is | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
probably a pressure now that we have got to the stage where it will be | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
all right, it will be all right... It won't be. We need to win now. | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
Before that Aberdeen have the chance to narrow Celtic's lead at the top | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
The match is live on Radio Scotland with live text on the BBC | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
They've lost four matches in a row, are heading out | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
of Rugby's European Cup and will soon lose 16 players | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
Despite that, Glasgow Warriors still have high expectations | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
for the rest of the season, according to winger Tommy Seymour. | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
And ahead of a home game with a difference, the Warriors | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
believe they can triumph in adversity. | :20:43. | :20:43. | |
The Warriors' temporary home for their final European tie against | :20:44. | :21:00. | |
Racing is Rugby Park, the posts are up and the artificial surface makes | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
a welcome change from the sodden turfs. Which problems haven't been | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
the only challenge. The World Cup took away 20 players which was | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
always going to be difficult and what has compounded that is the | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
injuries they have picked up. They have had to go into their reserves | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
which will challenge any club. The effects are plain for all to see, at | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
this stage last term Glasgow had lost just twice in the league and | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
this season's form has been patchy, raising questions about their | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
ability to defend the title. This side is capable of getting back into | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
the play-offs, we know how difficult it will be but we will concentrate | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
on this and we want to do it, we are not the sort of side to lower our | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
expectations just because things have got harder. If the pressure is | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
building on Glasgow with this four game losing run it is well hidden | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
and Berend flap about coach draws belief from past experience. -- | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
unflappable coach. We won against Northampton in the last minute and | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
it was such a boost, we put everything into the game to win and | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
it kept us going for the rest of the season so we will do everything | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
tomorrow. They could do with a ray of light as they seek to reignite | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
their season. We need to reignite Alex Marshall. | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
is through to the semifinals of this years singles, | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
comprehensively beating another Scot, Stewart Anderson. | :22:32. | :22:32. | |
The man nicknamed Tatty, who's after his seventh world title, | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
defeated the 2013 champion 10-2, 9-2. | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
He'll play Englands Robert Paxman in tomorrow's semifinals. | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
I felt so comfortable out there and I felt I could have beaten anybody | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
today. Stewart is fantastic but he wasn't at his best. You know he will | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
be back and he will win this tournament again. I am over the moon | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
to get back to the semifinals. All the best to Tatty. That is a great | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
nickname. Thanks very much. The copper stills used to make | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
whisky are unique to each distillery - playing a part in making | :23:09. | :23:10. | |
every whisky different. Because the stills have | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
to be made individually, they're beaten by hand | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
in the traditional way. Sarah Toom went to meet some | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
of the coppersmiths. Putting the perfect curve on a | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
copper pot still, craftsman at the Abercrombie works are busier than | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
ever thanks to the high demand for Scotch whiskey. Traditional skills | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
take ten years to master but well learned they say it is a career that | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
will last a lifetime. We all like different whiskeys and everybody has | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
their favourite so whiskey stills have to be unique. That is why they | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
are made by hand. You cannot automate the process. The craft has | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
been passed down through the generations for two centuries, | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
sometimes literally as is the case with these two. My dad taught me a | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
lot. There is a good future for the young lads here. There is not many | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
people that can actually do what we do. The stewards are not the only | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
family pair here. This man is proud to be passing on the legacy to his | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
nephew. It's good to see you women coming through and learning skills | :24:22. | :24:30. | |
with their hands. -- younger men. Instead of the computer. We have | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
always been interested in finding out how they have been made so I | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
heard about the job and I applied for it. I got it. This is one of the | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
most traditional crafts in Scottish industry but thanks to the | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
continuing interest in Scotch whiskey worldwide there will be many | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
more of these workers for years to come. | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
Let's see what we can expect from the weekend weather. | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
Thank you. What a difference a day made and plenty of sunshine across | :24:58. | :25:10. | |
the country with blue skies captured by the weather watchers at the | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
Borders. A number of showers around but fairly mild compared with recent | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
nights. Showers being pushed in on a fairly fresh wind. As we head | :25:19. | :25:27. | |
through the night the showers fizzle out and the wind eases down. It will | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
be milder than of late with temperatures around five or six | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
Celsius, cooler across the north-east. A touch of frost in one | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
or two glens. For most it will be dry with spells of sunshine through | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
the morning although it will increase through the afternoon and | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
the wet weather will hold out through the Highlands and Islands | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
and Northern Isles where it will be windy. Probably cloudy in the | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
morning but still very mild. The wind will be lighter inland. The | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
best of the sunshine towards Murray and Aberdeenshire. To the west of | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
Inverness there will be wet weather and holding on as it will do through | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
Orkney and Shetland. If you are hill walking or climbing in the | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
north-west it will be cloudy and wet. Further south it will be dry | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
with fog to start the day across the Galloway Hills. The wind from the | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
south-west, steady speeds through the morning. For all ranges the wind | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
will be easing down. The best of the sunshine across the Eastern | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
Cairngorms. We are looking at south-westerly Force five soberly. | :26:44. | :26:45. | |
Good visibility. -- soberly. We are looking at a south-westerly | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
going soberly. Pushing in a cross towards the | :26:52. | :27:04. | |
central belt in the evening and further north staying largely dry | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
with breezes across the west coast. Low pressure in charge on Sunday. | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
Rather windy at times, cloudy and wet but much milder. A rather wet | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
morning with the rain being confined to the north and north-west. | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
Elsewhere cloudy with drizzle. Fairly murky across the Southern | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
uplands with temperatures 12 or 13 Celsius. We could even reach 15 | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
degrees. That is the forecast for now. Thanks very much, Chris. I will | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
be back with the headlines at eight and a late bulletin after the ten | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
o'clock news. Until then, have a good evening. Goodbye. | :27:42. | :27:44. |
