So it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Labour calls for an immediate 1p rise in Scottish income tax to avoid | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
The SNP want a June date for the EU referendum to be ruled out | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
because they say it's too close to the Scotttish Parliament elections. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
The Scots holidaymaker who was trampled to death by this | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Holding back the flood - the defences that worked even | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
If it wouldn't have been for that, we'd have been up the creek. Yeah, | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
we would have been. Not the best thing to look at. At least the water | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
will stay there. The water will be behind, that's right. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
North Sea oil fell to its lowest level for more than six years. | :00:50. | :01:07. | |
Can we learn from what happened 30 years ago? | :01:08. | :01:23. | |
Labour is calling for Scots to pay extra income tax. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
It says a 1p-in-the-pound rise could be spent | :01:28. | :01:28. | |
Holyrood will have additional powers over income tax rates from April | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
and even more powers due to come to Holyrood under the Scotland Bill. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
The Scottish Government says it won't alter tax rates until these | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Here's our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
In Aberdeen where the oil price crash is hitting hard, a taxing | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
question for locals - would you pay a little more income tax to preserve | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
local services? Yes or no? No. I think we pay enough tax as it is. I | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
mean, I work virtually full-time. I do have a pension, but I'm taxed on | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
that and I'm also taxed on my Yes, I would earnings. Because what is 1p | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
in today's terms? If it helps other people, other organisations, yes, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
I'd pay. Ed bad news is this is a speech about tax. In Edinburgh the | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
Labour leader thinks putting 1p on all income tax rates in Scotland | :02:27. | :02:38. | |
will prove popular as an alternative going to cost countless numbers of | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
jobs across the country. What's that got to do with the price of fish? | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
Well, Labour says someone earning around ?30,000 a year would only pay | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
an extra ?4 a week under their tax plan. Far less than the cost of this | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
super. Those on low earnings would actually receive a ?100 year rebate, | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
but the SNP isn't buying it. It seems unworkable. It's unfair | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
because it's not progressive. It will hammer many people on low | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
incomes and contrast to what the SNP Government is doing and they haven't | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
worked out how it will actually work. The SNP wants to match UK | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
income tax rates in the year ahead. Like the Scottish Greens they think | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
the extended income tax powers, coming in 2017, offer more scope for | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
reform. Really we should be looking in the round at how the national and | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
local tax powers are going to work together. Council tax has to go as | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
well. We need to make sure that across the balance we're being | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
progressive. Labour's 1p for local services is similar to the Liberal | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Democrats 1p for education. Our priority is for education for two | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
simple reasons - to give everybody the opportunity to get up and get | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
on, no matter what their background, but also to feed the skills that the | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
economy needs. The Conservatives want to cut income tax when finances | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
allow. The first thing the Labour Party has done is said it will whack | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
workers for tax. The Scottish Conservatives are clear. We don't | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
think you should pay more tax in Scotland and that you would do if | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
you #4ri6d in other parts of the UK. Not since the SNP's 1p for Scotland | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
plan in 1989 has income tax Not since the SNP's 1p for Scotland | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
such a big Holyrood election issue. Voters rejected paying more then. In | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
such a big Holyrood election issue. these tougher financial times, | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Labour hopes attitudes have changed. Glenn Campbell, Reporting Scotland. | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
Meanwhile, the Scottish Government says it is "strongly opposed" | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
to a European referendum being held in June because it would be too | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
close to the Scottish Parliament elections in May. | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
Our political correspondent, David Porter, is outside | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
the European Commission headquarters in London for us tonight. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
A busy day. The SNP group at Westminster and other parties are | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
not too keen on the prospect of a June referendum? No, they're not at | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
all, Jackie. Politicians throughout the UK where ever they come from in | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
the UK are crystal clear - they are aware of how important the EU | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
referendum will be and how it could overshadow other political issues | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
and indeed block those political issues out. It is for that reason | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
they say there ought to be a decent time span between the elections for | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Holyrood in Cardiff and in Northern Ireland in May and an EU referendum. | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
They say that there shouldn't be an EU referendum before September at | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
the earliest. Today, they put that case to Ministers in the Commons. It | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
simply cannot be right to have these elections and a referendum campaign | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
clash with a June polling day on remaining in the EU. Will the | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
Government now take the opportunity to confirm it will respect the | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
electorates in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and London by not | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
announcing a June referendum date? No decision has been take. | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Take.about a referendum date. Not least because we don't yet have a | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
deal. We won't know until at the earliest the February European | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Council whether we do. At the end of the day it's a he d countries for | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
the House the referendum date is set by statutory instrument subject to | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
affirmative resolution here. Ministers have been careful about | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
the language they use. They say that no deal has been struck. There is a | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
feeling that if David Cameron goes to Brussels later this month and | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
does manage to get an agreement he will want an EU referendum sooner | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
rather than later. Unofficially, one date has been ringed in the | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
calendar, that is June 23rd. It means potentially if that date was | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
the date for the EU refer ref voters in Scotland could be asked to go to | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
the polls in successive months in May and June to decide two very big | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
political issues. One thing we can be certain of though Jackie is, | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
there will be no shortage of politics in the weeks and months | :07:12. | :07:12. | |
ahead. Thank you very much, David. New figures suggest | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
Emergency Departments in Scottish hospitals recorded their best | :07:22. | :07:22. | |
December performance 95% of people were dealt with within | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
the Scottish Government's target It is the best performance | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
in Scotland since 2009. Figures for the rest of the UK | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
are released at different times, but overall Scottish Emergency | :07:31. | :07:33. | |

Wales or Northern Ireland. A Scottish holidaymaker, | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
who died after being attacked by an elephant in Thailand, | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
has been named locally He's said to have been thrown | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
by the animal after it turned on its handler during an outing | :07:45. | :07:59. | |
on the island of Koh Samui. It's understood Mr Crowe's | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
teenage daughter escaped Our correspondent, | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
Daniela Relph, reports. Behind the trees is Golf the | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
elephant, still with the seat on its back. It's the one Gareth Crowe and | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
his daughter were riding, the one who attacked them. It's thought | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Gareth Crowe was thrown off as the elephant handler tried to take a | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
photo. So the reports said the handler had struck the elephant a | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
number of times. A local vet who examined the animal said the | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
elephant's behaviour could have stemmed from the hot weather and it | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
being stressed. It may have been startled by something, he said. | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
Elephant trekking remains a popular activity for tourist in Thailand. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
It's an increasingly controversial choice. Animal welfare groups say | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
elephants are subjected to brutal treatment to make them submissive | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
and able to train. But they remain unpredictable. If you saw an | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
elephant in the wild you would literally run a mile. You would | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
never go anywhere near it because it's so dangerous. It is one of the | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
most dangerous animals in the world. For it to have been forced into this | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
type of submission is because of this repeated beating and cruelty. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
At the camp where Gareth Crowe died vets found elephants chained to | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
trees, others looked poorly cared for. Some of the world's biggest | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
travel companies now refuse to promote elephant treks, knowing the | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
dangers tourists face. You're watching Reporting Scotland, | :09:23. | :09:27. | |

bid for Inverness midfielder, The heavy rain of the last few weeks | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
has brought flooding misery to many communities and has focussed | :09:47. | :09:58. | |
attention on what needs to be done More than 40 new flood defences | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
are planned for Scotland over the next five years, | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
costing more than ?200 million. Andrew Anderson's been to see one | :10:07. | :10:08. | |

gently, compared to a few weeks ago. The river skirts around the southern | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
end of Brechin it's not always so benign. It burst its bank many times | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
in recent years, flooding nearby homes, bringing misery to residents. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
We had several events of flooding which has affected over 250-300 | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
houses. We decided that we needed to look at how we would prevent that | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
for those people. Some ?14 million is being spent on new flood | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
protection. 9 scheme you can yous a wall running along the banks of the | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
river for nearly a mile. It's due to be completed in the coming months | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
but has already been tested. This is the aftermath of Storm Frank. It | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
looks bad. The flood defences did their job, protecting most of the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
homes near the river. The scheme is under construction. It diddle | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
protect a lot of the properties from flooding. Unfortunately, four | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
properties which did get flooded, but in general terms the scheme | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
worked well. Those four houses flooded because this older wall | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
collapsed, the force of the water had sent a fallen tree crashing | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
through it. We will be taking lessons from that. The wall itself, | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
where the multi-million-pound residents are hopeful when the river | :11:37. | :11:49. | |
level next rises they can rest easier. If it hadn't been for that | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
we would have been you up the creek. We would have been. Not the best to | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
look at it. The water will stay behind. That's right. It's due to be | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
completed in the next few months. We are being warned to expect more | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
extreme weather like we've seen in the last few weeks as a result of | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
climate change and doubtless other communities across Scotland will be | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
looking to have similar defence schemes to protect them against | :12:17. | :12:17. | |
flooding. BP says its shedding up to 3,000 | :12:18. | :12:25. | |

the current situation is as bad as what happened back in 1986, | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
when a crash in the oil price So can we learn anything, | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
from what happened then? Our business correspondent, | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
David Henderson, has been These are tough times for BP | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
and those who rely on it. Three weeks ago, the company | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
announced plans to lay-off about 600 Today, they've said even more | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
of their global workforce will have to go, in another | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
round of cost-cutting. The collapse in the price of oil has | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
also hammered the company's profits. Today, BP posted their largest | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
annual loss for over 20 years. The whole industry is feeling | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
the pain in a way it Three decades ago a booming industry | :13:11. | :13:30. | |
was hit hard. The Chief Executive Day individual Walker refused to be | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
interviewed on television. At a briefing wo journalists he said a | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
decision to make 750 employees redundant had not been taking | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
rashly. It got worse. The price of oil throughout the world is | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
plummeting. North Sea oil fell to its lowest level for more than six | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
years. Some will be sold for less than $20 a barrel. That is half what | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
it was costing in the early 80s. And worse. The cost of a barrel | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
it was costing in the early 80s. And fell to less than | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
it was costing in the early 80s. And lost. My pass was handed in. Cut in | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
two. Just escorted out 9 building. Disused rigs littered Scotland's | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
coastline. These echoes from the past are frightening investors and | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
producers today. Will it be quick or take decades to recover like last | :14:26. | :14:26. | |
time. China's demand for oil is take decades to recover like last | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
still growing, but not so fast. A boom in shale oil leaves America | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
less reliant on imports. Saudi Arabia's refusing to cut back oil | :14:37. | :14:37. | |
production. Arabia's refusing to cut back oil | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
recovery to anything like $100 a barrel that is if ever | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
recovery to anything like $100 a into the future. One the other key | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
parallels with the situation that we've got at the moment is that | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
technology in the form of US shale has once again proved able to | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
commercialise a lot of hydro-carbon that was otherwise uncommercial. | :14:59. | :14:59. | |
That genie is not that was otherwise uncommercial. | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
bottle. The cost of extracting oil from the North Sea doesn't get | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
cheaper. To make it happen, producers like BP have to invest. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
That's hard if they are barely making a profit. | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
So oil companies operating in the North Sea and their workforces | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
are watching the price of oil like a hawk. | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
Well, the boss of BP, Bob Dudley, thinks a barrel of oil will increase | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
in price from around $30 now to about $50 by the end of the year. | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
Some say that's wrong and that price will keep going down and down | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
because of massive over-supply around the world. | :15:38. | :15:38. | |
We've seen Scotland's oil industry falter then bounce back before. | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
But we don't yet know if that's any guide to the future. | :15:45. | :15:48. | |

Scottish Power is cutting its standard domestic gas prices | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
by an average of 5.4% from the middle of March. | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
It is the third supplier to announce such a drop | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
Scottish Power says the reduction will benefit over a million | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
consumers and will take an average ?32 from the annual | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
It follows announcements of roughly similar reductions by SSE and E.ON. | :17:31. | :17:41. | |

direct to your energy company. For some customers that's already led to | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
problems when they've switched supplier. Energy saving smart metres | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
in every UK home and business by 2020... And MPs have warned the UK | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
could fail to meet the deadline of installing smart metres in every | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
home by the end of the decade. Despite the project's ?11 billion | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
budget. Once you have a smart metre, you use that data. It's an uphill | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
task, but we are still being told smart metres will bring important | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
benefits. Especially for those who use prepayment metres or struggle to | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
pay their bills. Bills are real time, no more estimated. You are | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
paying what you are actually using. For a lot of consumers that's really | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
important especially those in fuel poverty. They only want to pay what | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
they're using. From the cost of tea to the cost of a Bath smart metres | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
are set to give us lots to think about in the years ahead. | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
Now the sport. Good evening. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Vern Cotter will demand his players are clinical at this year's | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
The Scotland campaign kicks off against England on Saturday. | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
The former Scotland captain Jason White played under Cotter | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
for three years in France and says he can see similarities with the way | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
he's going about his business at Murrayfield. | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
It's a stare we have come to can't from a no-nonsense coach. From the | :20:06. | :20:19. | |
kiwi tasked with leading Scotland back to rugby respectability. He may | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
have been in charge here for 18 months but there is still a sense | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
that not many people get to sroe the real Vern Cotter the man behind that | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
steely glare. One man who does is former Scotland | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
captain Jason White who played for Cotter at French side Clermont. He | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
is definitely more of an intro vert. He is a relatively simple man. You | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
work hard for him, you are honest, you give it all for the jersey then | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
he is great to work for. That approach has yielded success in | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
France and his native New Zealand. But he is very much old school. | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
Obviously if things don't go right, and he is really hard on us, but | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
that's what we need to happen. Making a mistake and not learning | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
from him annoys him, if that happens we see a different side to Vern. The | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
Six Nations ended without a victory. What can we now expect from Cotter's | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
team? We will see the hallmark of his style of play, reminiscent of | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
how Clermont played. Attack, be adventurous but you must be clinical | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
and ruthless in what you do and that's the hallmark of Cotter's | :21:41. | :21:41. | |
rugby for me. A smiling Cotter means that's the hallmark of Cotter's | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
a winning Cotter. It's a sight Scottish rugby wants to see. Let's | :21:48. | :21:48. | |
hope so! Derek McInness says he'd welcome | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
an investigation into the collapse here's our senior football | :21:53. | :22:06. | |
reporter Chris McLaughlin. The Inverness man is a wanted man. | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
Last night Aberdeen bid The Inverness man is a wanted man. | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
agreeing Tansey. They thought that would make him theirs. | :22:18. | :22:35. | |
agreeing Tansey. They thought that unclear why he isn't here. We feel | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
he should be. New faces at training sessions around the country today, | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
evidence that other deals did go through. This Turkish striker born | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
and raised in England, one of two new faces who arrived at Celtic. If | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
I tell you the truth I didn't really want to come back to Britain. | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
Honestly. But but when this opportunity came it was like obvious | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
decision. So, one success story and another of frustration. | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
But in total, 15 players come into the Scottish Premiership yesterday | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
alone, those deals involving seven of the 12 top sides. A sign perhaps | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
that clubs are feeling better about their finances. We know they've gone | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
through a period of real prudence and real belt-tightening. But | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Aberdeen didn't get Greg Tansey but they put in a ?200,000 bid. Hearts | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
have paid a they put in a ?200,000 bid. Hearts | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
Subjecter. Rangers buying again at a reasonable level, half a million. | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
Celtic are always reasonable level, half a million. | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
spend a bit of money. Tansey stays reasonable level, half a million. | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
will open again for business in the summer. | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
The newest non-executive director of the SPFL says society needs | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
Karyn McCluskey has been brought in from the Scottish Violence Reduction | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
She says she's taken the job in the hope of keeping young fans | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
at games free from exposure to racism, sexism and violence. | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
I think everybody needs to challenge it. There can be no by-standers. If | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
you are standing by, people need to say, don't do that. There needs to | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
be a change. That needs to be everybody does it because you can't | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
police your way out of this. You can't police bad behaviour out of | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
society. It needs to be society itself that starts to change. A big | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
job in hand there. That's tonight's sport. Thank you very much. Now here | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
is the weather. Now details of Scotland 2016. We ask | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
if the penny for Scotland plan could really deliver a radical alternative | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
to austerity. And fresh from the jungle at Calais, a French aid | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
workers tells us of his shock at the conditions for refugees in his own | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
country. Join me at 10. 30pm on BBC Two. | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
We are all set to amaze you now with details of spectacular clouds but | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
that George beat us to it! He has stolen my thunder as it were. | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
Yes weather watchers have outdone themselves sending in pictures of | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
these clouds. Most of our clouds form about ten | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
miles up. These form higher than that, in the super cold statosphere. | :25:19. | :25:29. | |
The sun light refracts. It gives them a glorious appearance. Unusual | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
to see here but something we are more familiar with these days, | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
winter weather warnings from The Met Office. One tonight is yellow, | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
meaning be aware, it's for ice and affecting most of of the country. | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
Tonight we have showers in play and as they track south and meet the | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
cold air there will be a wintry flavour to some of those showers. | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
Snow above about 200 metres. For southern Scotland, difficult | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
conditions over some higher level roads. Snow even to low levels in | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
the showers across the north. Once those showers go and most of them | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
will do, that's when we see things icing over, slippery surfaces to | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
contend with as tech tures dip to freezing, if not slightly below. A | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
cold and wintry start to tomorrow. There will be ice in places but | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
actually a cracking day across much of the country. Winds much lighter | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
and mainly dry, bright and good spells of crisp winter sunshine. | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
Taking a closer look around 3.00pm, there will be a few showers flirting | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
with the stran rash coast. Further inland fine, dry, good spells of | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
sunshine. The same for Fife and much of Aberdeenshire. Still showers to | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
northern Aberdeenshire. The north-west coast, as well as the | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
northern and Western Isles. They'll be wintry even to low levels but no | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
more than a dusting of snow at most. Tomorrow evening we see a weather | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
front moving in, that will be rain and sleet at low levels, it will | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
bring snow to higher ground. Potentially tricky conditions for a | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
time. Thursday, there is a change. We introduce much milder air from | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
the Atlantic but with that a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain. | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
Brightness to start the day in the north-east. But generally it's a | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
includedy prospect. Most of that rain will be light and patchy and | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
you will notice a much milder feel. Temperatures getting up into double | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
figures for the first time in a while. Friday, it's still cloudy. We | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
will see outbreaks of rain and this stuff will be heavier. This weather | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
front could come to a halt across the south and we could see issues | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
with flooding. We will keep you posted. | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
A bit of respite and then it all starts again! Thank you very much. | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
Our next update is just after the 10.00pm news. | :27:34. | :27:42. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team - right | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
across the country - have a very good evening. | :27:46. | :27:48. |
