30/01/2016 Reporting Scotland

A nine-year-old girl has become the third person to die

after a crash on the M9 in West Lothian last night.

They were pronounced dead at the scene at the crash between a car and

a van. Four people were taken to hospital but police now say one of

them a nine-year-old girl has now died. The collision happened on the

southbound M9 at about nine o'clock last night. Three casualties remain

in hospital. Police Scotland are appealing for witnesses to come

forward. Heavy snow has fallen

in parts of Scotland, just hours after the battering

of Storm Gertrude. Our reporter Steven Godden was out

in the bad weather in Perthshire. After the strong winds at the head

of storm Gertrud, today brought its ICT. Here in Perth the scene is

pretty typical of that part of the country where people walk up to this

blanket of snow. While for many it was a source of fun it also brought

with it some problems. Simply getting going was a challenge in

itself this morning and once out on the roads, driving conditions were

particularly tricky. Gritters were out there trying to keep the

inevitable bumps and coalitions to a minimum. Elsewhere on the transport

network there were problems. Ferry services were disrupted and that

disruption is likely to continue into tomorrow. Having sent the day

yesterday trying to reconnect 17,000 homes Power had been knocked out,

today engineers were trying to connect a further 1200 who were

without power as a result of the weather. As to what lies ahead, but

we very rudely moved from the G to the letter H. Storm Henry is due to

arrive on Monday bringing with the problems. The respite will be brief.

Tennis, and the Australian Open has witnessed a remarkable

Gordon Reid from Helensburgh won the men's wheelchair singles

and Jamie Murray scooped the men's doubles title.

And tomorrow, younger brother Andy goes for the singles crown.

Kheredine Idesanne reports from Melbourne.

If Dunblane dream coming true down under. Jamie Murray joining little

brother Andy is a grand slam champion. A lot of hard work has

gone into getting to this stage. I think we are both pretty pleased

with the network. Things didn't look promising early on. The first set

was one 6-2 by their opponents. He lost his two grand slam finals at

Wimbledon and the US Open, would it be third time lucky for the elder

Murray? Second set was one 6-4 to force a decider. Jamie had been

served for the match. Bruno Soares made no much the stake. Scotland had

the second Australian Open champion of the day. Oh, NGO we love you!

The ovation was for this win. Gordon Reid from Helensburgh becoming

Britain's first wheelchair singles champion. I am so happy. I want to

say thank you for everyone who supported me, my sponsors and

everyone back home who helped me in the journey. Hopefully there is more

to come. Read's Parker lost the dotballs, but an historic double is

now on. Andy Murray's mission is to join them by beating Novak Djokovic

in the world live arena, morning. Well, with three Scots in four

Grand Slam finals for first time ever, the head of tennis's governing

body in Scotland says he's confident more people will be inspired

to take up the game here. If we think that tennis is not about

Wimbledon, we have got the profile from Australia in January right way

through to the O2 masters in London in November. The profile is there

all year so it is up to us to capitalise on that.

Football, and Hibs are through to the final of the Scottish League

They beat St Johnstone 2-1 in the first of the weekend's semi

Ross County play Celtic tomorrow afternoon for the other final place.

In the Premiership, Dundee and Motherwell drew,

while Hamilton won away at Kilmarnock.

In the Championship, Rangers beat third-placed

Now time for the weather. Thank you. As we saw in the report, plenty of

snow in places today. Lovely picture from one of our weather watchers. A

light dusting on the ground there but some further snow and indeed ice

in the forecast tonight. A Yellow warning from the Met office. Pretty

treacherous conditions on parts of the roast evening due to be sure at

the snow. Elsewhere the shower is holding on but increasingly more

likely to see them as rain. It will be cold and that's where the ice

risk comes in. Freezing if not lower for many. That is how we sought,.

Pretty chilly. I ties. In the West and South Kirby with outbreaks of

rain. The further east it is drier and perhaps even brightness. This

area of rain slowly edging northwards at today's meeting very

slow progress. The UK as a whole, it is connected to this warm frontier.

Milder air behind us but it won't come until after dark. From any

office, cloudy cold. Towards the evening the rain pushes northwards

and the temperatures rise. Overnight, climbing into double

digits for some but it will turn when they particularly around the

coasts, gusting to gale force at times. Towards Monday, another amber

be prepared warning in force all because of the latest storm, the

eighth named storm of the winter, Henry, likely to be some disruption

with gales at times and indeed some severe gales for the Western Isles

and the north-west coast. That is the forecast for now. Our next

update is at 6:50pm
