That's all for now. The next news on BBC

:00:00.:00:07.

Papers revealing details of key talks over Scotland's future funding

:00:08.:00:10.

arrangements will be published before Holyrood breaks

:00:11.:00:13.

The Scottish and Westminster governments are trying to hammer out

:00:14.:00:17.

a deal on Scotland's finances that will suit both sides.

:00:18.:00:22.

At the moment, Scotland gets a lump sum in cash every year from the

:00:23.:00:34.

Treasury. It is called the lock rant, but it is going to change. The

:00:35.:00:39.

Scotland Bill which is making its way through the Westminster

:00:40.:00:42.

Parliament will give major new tax and welfare powers to Holyrood.

:00:43.:00:46.

Ministers here and in Westminster want the best deal for Scotland, and

:00:47.:00:50.

one which is fair to the rest of the UK. But there is a lot of horse

:00:51.:00:54.

trading over how best to achieve that. This UK Government minister

:00:55.:00:59.

says both sides accept any agreement comes with risks. A deal has to

:01:00.:01:04.

reflect the Scottish Government taking on risk for policy choices so

:01:05.:01:07.

that if they make good policy choices and raise additional revenue

:01:08.:01:12.

they keep that revenue, but if they make propulsive choices and the

:01:13.:01:16.

revenue is less that anticipated, then they have to bear the

:01:17.:01:19.

consequences of that. The Treasury think a deal is close. The Scottish

:01:20.:01:25.

Government do not. The SNP say on some point it is trying to pull the

:01:26.:01:29.

wool over their eyes. They are trying to embed apricots in the

:01:30.:01:34.

block grant that Scottish tax raising powers could possibly

:01:35.:01:39.

deliver. That is detrimental to Scotland and clearly breaches the

:01:40.:01:45.

Smith Commission proposals. While the fiscal framework may sound very

:01:46.:01:48.

technical, it is incredibly important our lives. These have

:01:49.:01:52.

fundamental consequences for the amount of money that a future

:01:53.:01:58.

Scottish Government will have at its disposal, the amount of taxes that

:01:59.:02:03.

the population will be expected to contribute, about the level of

:02:04.:02:07.

services that they can expect to be provided. Chief Secretary to the

:02:08.:02:13.

Treasury will visit everyday First Minister John Swinney for crunch

:02:14.:02:14.

talks in Edinburgh tomorrow. Energy experts say they expect 150

:02:15.:02:17.

oil platforms in the UK North Sea The estimate, from energy

:02:18.:02:20.

consultants Douglas-Westwood, takes account of the fall

:02:21.:02:26.

in the price of oil, which is leaving many oil

:02:27.:02:29.

fields economically unviable. A separate assessment,

:02:30.:02:32.

by Company Watch, suggests that half of oil and gas companies

:02:33.:02:35.

with North Sea operations are now loss-making,

:02:36.:02:38.

with total losses for the past year Nine mosques in Scotland were among

:02:39.:02:40.

more than 80 around the UK which opened their doors

:02:41.:02:52.

to non-Muslims today, to try to counter negative

:02:53.:02:54.

perceptions of Islam. Visitors were offered introductions

:02:55.:02:56.

to the religion and the opportunity to observe prayers or simply

:02:57.:02:59.

have a cup of tea. We hope that people who think of the

:03:00.:03:11.

mosque as something mystical or strange or violence or whatever to

:03:12.:03:16.

come and see it for real. And we also hope that have a human contact

:03:17.:03:19.

with people face-to-face so that they realise what we do.

:03:20.:03:21.

There were two matches in the Scottish Cup

:03:22.:03:22.

Our senior football reporter Chris McLaughlin watched the David

:03:23.:03:26.

and Goliath tie, between East Kilbride and Celtic.

:03:27.:03:32.

It was a dream tie for East Kilbride, a semiprofessional club

:03:33.:03:37.

from the lowland league against the Scottish champions in the Scottish

:03:38.:03:41.

cup. There was to be no fairy tale end. It finished 2-0 to Celtic,

:03:42.:03:46.

Leigh Griffiths getting the first goal after 20 minutes, eventually

:03:47.:03:49.

getting it over the line via his hand. At such a fortune about the

:03:50.:03:56.

goal. The second came after the break, another goalmouth scramble.

:03:57.:03:57.

After that East Kilbride kept Celtic at bay despite extreme pressure.

:03:58.:04:04.

Celtic progress in the Scottish cup but all the plaudits go to East club

:04:05.:04:05.

raid from the lowland league. Today's other cup tie

:04:06.:04:07.

was an Edinburgh derby. Hearts scored first

:04:08.:04:09.

through Arnaud Djoum, Paul Hanlon's equaliser

:04:10.:04:10.

was in injury-time. 2-2 the final score,

:04:11.:04:15.

with a replay at Easter Road. A Scots-born American footballer

:04:52.:04:59.

named storm coming our way, she is cold Imogen. However the good news

:05:00.:05:04.

is that for us the impact will be felt more south of the border. You

:05:05.:05:07.

can see the eyes of hours driving winds across the South and because

:05:08.:05:12.

we are closer to the centre we will have lighter winds and tomorrow is

:05:13.:05:14.

not looking too bad. Still some rain to content with for the rest of the

evening. It becomes lighter as we had through the night and a lot of
