It's been a day of drama and tragedy on Scotland's mountains. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
A hillwalker missing overnight with two companions in the | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
A search for two young climbers on Ben Nevis was called off | :01:11. | :01:20. | |
after the search and rescue helicopter was diverted | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
to an avalanche in the Highlands near Spean Bridge. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
There, two climbers were rescued, and that operation is ongoing. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Craig Anderson is near the scene, what can you tell us? | :01:28. | :01:37. | |
Jackie, you can probably hear that there is still a search and rescue | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
helicopter in the sky above us here, and dozens of members of more than | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
one mountain rescue team have convened here as well. They are here | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
waiting for word as to whether they have to set out this evening to see | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
if there are more people in the avalanche on Creag Meagaidh, a very | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
popular mountain for people to go climbing in at this time of year, | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
with winter conditions, and today there were quite a few people on the | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
mountain. What we understand is that several people saw the avalanche | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
happened, they saw the debris of the avalanche, and they also saw | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
belongings are people that had clearly been caught up in it. Two | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
people, as far as we know, have been airlifted to the Belford Hospital in | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Fort William. Their conditions are not known, at least officially at | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
the moment, although we understand one may well be serious. As I say, | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
the members of the mountain rescue teams who are here are waiting to | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
find out whether there is any likelihood that there will be more | :02:40. | :02:50. | |
people up on the mountain, and they may have to go and do a search for | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
them. Craig, you and that rescue helicopter were involved in a search | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
for a couple missing on Ben Nevis, any word on that operation? No, | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
well, Tim Newton, 27, and Rachel Slater, 24, both from Bradford in | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
Yorkshire, they have been missing now, well, they were reported | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
missing on Monday, but there has been no confirmed sighting of them | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
since Sunday, or in fact since Saturday. They were believed to have | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
been climbing Ben Nevis, both of them experienced mountaineers. Their | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
tent was found, their car was found, and although it was too dangerous | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
for the mountain rescue team to search for them this morning, this | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
very same helicopter, as you say, was called in this afternoon. It | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
made a brief search of the area before it was diverted here to Creag | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Meagaidh, but unfortunately no trace of them was found. I spoke to the | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
leader of the Lochaber mountain rescue team a short time ago, and he | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
said, of course there are always hopes, but clearly, as time goes on, | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
those hopes, that optimism that they may be found safe and well starts to | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
fade. Thank you very much. Earlier in the day, three hillwakers | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
missing overnight in the Southern Uplands | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
were found by search teams, but one of the men was pronounced | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
dead in hospital. His two companions are being | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
treated for hypothermia. An intensive search began last night | :04:15. | :04:27. | |
when the three hikers failed to return from a planned walk in the | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
hills near this village. They were named as Jeffrey Stewart, 74, George | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
Crosbie, 73, and 64-year-old Bobby Thomson, or from Dumfries. | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Experienced hill walkers familiar with the area, we know they parked | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
up here yesterday, the car is still here. They went for a walk and were | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
expected to return around half past three, and they didn't. Added site, | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
the surgeon involved police, four search and rescue teams and a | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
coastguard helicopter. -- at its height, the surgeon involved. The | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
guys were saying they could barely stand up on the hill visibility was | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
very low, so searching was really difficult. The men had left no | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
details of their intended route, and the search area was up to 40 square | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
miles. News came through just after one o'clock that the coastguard | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
helicopter had located the men in open countryside around four | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
kilometres away. They were said to be in a poor condition. The crew | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
took them on board and transferred them to hospital in Dumfries around | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
20 miles away. It has since been confirmed that one of the men was | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
pronounced dead at the hospital. The other two are being treated for | :05:47. | :05:47. | |
hypothermia. A man who abducted and raped | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
a 15-year-old girl on her way home from school in Dunfermline has | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
been jailed. 26-year-old Mark Armstrong | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
subjected her to a harrowing ordeal Mark Armstrong had spent the days | :06:02. | :06:15. | |
beforehand robbing and assaulting women in Dunfermline town centre. | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
Then on Thursday the 12th of March, he committed the crime that was | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
today described as cruel, depraved and inhumane. He kidnapped the girl | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
as she returned home from school, threatened her with a knife, forced | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
into the grounds of a derelict cottage, and raped her. That and | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
what followed shocked detectives with years of experience. Is | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
horrific, what this 15-year-old girl has been subjected to. There is | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
really nothing I can compare this to, it is worse than I have dealt | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
with in my 22 years service. From the cottage, Armstrong marched his | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
victim for miles, eventually ending up at his Dunfermline home, where | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
the attacks continued. 26-year-old Armstrong only spoke to the girl to | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
tell her what to do, to shut up, and to stop shivering. As night became | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
day, there was another return trip to the cottage. Armstrong initially | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
said he would let her go, a lie that lead to more abuse. He took her back | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
to its home again, and then he made to walk around ten miles. Finally, | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
in the early hours of the Saturday morning, the 32 two-hour ordeal | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
ended here at the entrance to this country park. He had walked her | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
here, given her her mobile phone and left. She called her mother, who | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
came to get her. Police described the mother hugging her daughter. The | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
girl was shaking, crying and occasionally howling. Today at the | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
High Court in Glasgow, the judge handed mark Armstrong a lifelong | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
restriction order and told him he will have to serve a minimum of four | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
years in prison before he can be considered for release. There will | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
be no assessment carried out and no consideration by the parole board | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
for four years, but that does not mean he will be released in four | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
years. The key element is the lifelong restriction. What that | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
means is that mark Armstrong will remain under the supervision of the | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
state for the rest of his life, and he will remain in custody until such | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
time as it is assessed that he no longer presents a risk to the | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
public. That may never happen. He already had a number of convictions | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
for crimes of violence, and police say it is due to the courage and | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
bravery of his 15-year-old victim that he is back in jail. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Still to come on tonight's programme, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Glasgow Film Festival gets under way with the premiere of Hail, Caesar! | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
with George Clooney as a hapless Hollywood movie star. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
In sport, the premiership chairmen who is urging his players to redeem | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
their professional reputation, the goals from two dramatic Scottish Cup | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
ties, and more. If you go to your doctor with a mild | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
mental illness, you might find yourself of them online self-help | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
course while you wait to see a specialist. More than one in four of | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
us experience a mental health problem every year, placing a huge | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
strain on services. As part of a week of special reports, Eleanor | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Bradford has an analysis of the situation in Scotland. | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
It's difficult to compare access to mental-health treatments | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
We know that some people wait a long time in Scotland. | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
One in five people wait longer than 18 weeks to see a psychologist. | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
More than one in four children and adolescents | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
wait longer than 18 weeks to see a specialist. | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
Nearly everyone is seen within nine weeks. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
In Wales, in general, children wait much longer, | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
In England, they've only just started to measure waits | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
Across the UK, one in three GP appointments | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
Health chiefs in Scotland are trying out online self-help courses | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
for the most common complaints, anxiety and depression. | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
Aileen was told she would have to wait six months to see a bereavement | :10:10. | :10:23. | |
councillor. While she waited, the GP suggested she try out this online | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
course. Basically, it was sitting in front of your laptop or your iPad, | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
whatever, once a week with a cup of coffee, so I was a wee bit | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
sceptical. I thought is this going to work or not? But I gave it a go, | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
and I found it really good. The course is in cognitive behavioural | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
therapy, which teachers coping strategies for life's difficulties. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
We have got a good team behind us, and that is why it is going so | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
well... Professor Kevin Gallacher power is leading a trial of the | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
causes in nearly half of Scottish health boards. Three times as many | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
people as expected have signed up for them. Individuals can use it | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
whenever they wish, late at night when the kids are in bed, and they | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
can rehearse it again and go back to it for booster sessions at any time. | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
So it is really user-friendly, it is there for them when they wanted. The | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
courses have their critics. One study found that many people give up | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
before competing them. Aileen admits she did not do it all but it is | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
still the best treatment she has ever had. I noticed a difference | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
even in my sleep patterns and the idea is that they gave you for | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
dropping off to sleep. I tried some of those, and you could tell within | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
a few days, you know, that it really worked. | :11:46. | :11:46. | |
Online courses will never replace therapists, | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
but it could cut down the number of sessions someone needs, | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
which would cut waiting times for everyone. | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
There's more encouraging news - the suicide rate is falling. | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
Stigma around mental illness is reducing. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
A survey indicated that people living | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
in Scotland and Northern Ireland are the most satisfied in the UK. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
And people in the Western Isles are the happiest of all. | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
You can check out more facts and features in | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
the special In The Mind section of the BBC website. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
The council that had hoped to put up the council tax has set its budget. | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
Moray Council dropped the plan - so instead councillors have narrowly | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
backed moves to put up the charges for some services instead. | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
Meanwhile councils across Scotland are looking at cuts and savings - | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
most are set to receive less from the Government | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
Could this special bus service be under threat? These pensioners are | :12:33. | :12:49. | |
worried about the future of their dial a bus service. It is really | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
important, I would have to be in the house all the time, I would go mad | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
if I had to do that. It is important for getting out and about. In | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
Falkirk, the council has been debating how to sell ?25 million in | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
the coming year. The money that helps pay for the service may go, | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
and the dilemmas facing Falkirk are typical. For example, Angus Council | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
is looking at cutting 170 jobs, and another, Argyll and Bute, is getting | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
rid of librarians in secondary schools. One thing that nobody is | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
doing is putting up the council tax. One council, an, had proposed an 18% | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
rise, but the Government made it clear that any council that did so | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
would lose millions. So today Moray chose other ways to balance its | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
books. School dinner prices are going up, and so was the cost of | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
music tuition. What it seems now is that local government is seen as a | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
means of simply managing some central government ambition, | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
diktats, call it what you will. The local SNP argued the council could | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
save money in other ways. We have set out as a party various | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
reductions to administrative costs across a range of services, and that | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
protects front line services, we believe they could be management | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
restructure. Back in Falkirk, there could be hope for the pensioners - | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
the council is discussing whether to look again at the bus service, and a | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
decision is due any moment. Most other councils should set their | :14:27. | :14:27. | |
budgets in the next few weeks. A look at other stories | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
from across the country. A man's appeared in court charged | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
with murder after the death The body of 37-year-old | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Jessica McGraa was discovered at a flat on Union Terrace | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
on Friday afternoon. Bala Chinda, who's 25, | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
was charged with murder and theft. He made no plea | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
and was remanded in custody. Several secondary schools | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
in West Dunbartonshire will be closed tomorrow | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
because of a strike by teachers. It's the second stoppage by the EIS | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
in just over a month. The dispute is over plans to reduce | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
the number of principal teachers. The taskforce set up to minimise | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
the effect of the closure of Texas Instruments in Greenock | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
has met the American owners for the first time | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
to discuss the situation. More than 350 jobs will be lost | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
over the next three years I have been disappointed that they | :15:15. | :15:28. | |
have made the final decision to close the plant, but they are very | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
much committed to finding a prospective buyer, they are engaging | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
a reputable, Lee with worldwide expertise in the semiconductor | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
industry, and there is a clear commitment to find a buyer. Andy | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
Murray's baby daughter has been named Sophia Olivia. The tennis star | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
did not disclose the name when his wife gave birth in February. | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
Bookmark is our offering bets on her winning Wimbledon. -- bookmakers. | :15:54. | :16:05. | |
David said she is already ranked number one! | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson has apologised | :16:10. | :16:10. | |
for what he calls an "abysmal performance" against Motherwell last | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
night and is calling on his players to redeem their professional | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
Which would be no mean feat, given last night's loss | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
to Motherwell leaves United 13 points adrift at the bottom. | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
When Scott McDonald sealed a defeat at Tannadice, the booed rang out. | :16:24. | :16:44. | |
MacDonald had scored eight minutes before his winner. Prior to that | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
Stephen McManus had got Motherwell on their way. Another defeat but | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
with it this time quite a reaction from the Dundee United chairman. | :16:52. | :17:07. | |
Apologies aside if there was also criticism. | :17:08. | :17:22. | |
Trying to stay up does look pretty desperate? It is a long road. We can | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
do now is make sure we concentrate on the next match. After the | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
German's statement, came the reaction the supporters. | :17:36. | :17:52. | |
Dundee United are 13 points adrift of their nearest rivals in the | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
premiership. Next up, a home game with Hearts. | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
The top two sides in the Championship have | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
claimed their place in the quarter final of the Scottish Cup | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
at the expense of Premiership opposition. | :18:06. | :18:06. | |
In last night's replays Rangers overcame Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
while Hibs beat Hearts in the Edinburgh derby. | :18:10. | :18:10. | |
Only one goal was scored at Easter Road as Hibernian progressed to the | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
quarterfinals of the Scottish cup. Jason Cummings claimed it. His | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
celebrations earned him a booking. Hearts also had the ball in the net, | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
not once but twice. This effort was disallowed for offside. In the | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
second half, they fell victim to the offside rule again. Hearts were | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
reduced to ten men when Blase August and was sent off. -- August ten. | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
Cummings saw read for a second booking. -- red. Rangers took nearly | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
lead against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Martyn Waghorn was brought | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
down in the box and he took the penalty himself for his 20th goal of | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
the season. Kilmartin responded quickly. That was courtesy of Rory | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
McKenzie. Just when it looked like the game was heading for extra time, | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
Nicky Clark pounced in the second minute of stoppage time to earn | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Rangers the victory and leave Kilmarnock pondering what might have | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
been. The set play is so important in modern-day football. To switch | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
off is criminal. We need to dust ourselves down and go again. Two | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
top-flight clubs bow out as Rangers and Hibs march on. | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
It's hardly been a vintage Six Nations so far for Scotland. | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
The national rugby team has played two and lost two. | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
Their next match is away to Italy a week on Saturday. | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
Vern Cotter's team are already preparing for their trip to Rome - | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
and it seems they and some of their most fervent supporters | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
are confident of ending their losing streak. | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
Anyone here looked like an Italian spy to no? Good. Scotland training | :20:03. | :20:12. | |
is usually conducted in secret but today it is doors open Day where | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
fans can watch the team prepare, get a personal memento of the day and be | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
quizzed by me about the Rasa -- Six Nations showing so far. Our hopes | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
get raised every time and then it is like no. You remain hopeful. Defeat | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
by Wales was Scotland's ninth on the spin. But one player thinks the | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
losing streak may be about to come to an end. The performance was | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
better than against England and we have to keep developing that and get | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
a good result in Italy, start a roll of victories. I'm going to conduct | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
their highly on Saint if -- unscientific experiment. If you | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
think Scotland can beat Italy, give me high-5s. If not, keep your hands | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
by your side. Confidence is high as Scotland prepare to face Italy. It | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
will depend on what these guys do on the pitch. | :21:17. | :21:17. | |
Scottish middle distance runner Laura Muir says at the moment she's | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
happy to go to the Olympics in Rio despite concerns over | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
Muir is preparing to compete in this weekend's indoor international | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
athletics meeting in Glasgow, and hopes to make the British team | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
Organisers insist the outbreak of the mosquito-borne disease | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
I trust that the British Olympic Association will keep us best | :21:32. | :21:47. | |
informed. We might learn more things but now it will not stop you from | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
going to Rio? Not at all. I will keep on training. | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
Everything will be OK. That is the sport. | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
The 12th Glasgow Film Festival gets underway this evening, | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
with the UK premiere of the film Hail, Caesar - | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
which stars George Clooney as a hapless Hollywood movie star. | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
It's one of a number of events, already sold out, before | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
From the Glasgow film theatre, Pauline McLean reports. | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
Guests are already arising tonight for the sold much anticipated UK | :22:15. | :22:25. | |
premiere of Rasa. It stars George Clooney as a hapless Hollywood | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
actor. -- Hail, Caesar!. It features Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
and Joss Brolin. The festival directors are with me. You have not | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
got George Clooney but quite a coup to have this film? We are absolutely | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
thrilled. Who would not want a new film by the Coen brothers. It is | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
nostalgic for the Hollywood studio era. But it has dark melancholy | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
things that you would expect from a typical film by the Coen brothers. | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
This festival though -- very much celebrating film fans? It is all | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
about the audience. The audience may get better every year. It is great | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
when you have guests. They are always warmly welcome. They are the | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
icing on the cake. You have some pretty big names coming. You do not | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
get much better than Richard Gere, who has chosen to bring his film. | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
Richard Gere is coming for his film Time out of mind, which he also | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
produced. It is a different film for him. He plays a homeless man in New | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
York. It is how that whole problem of getting lost in a system that | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
does not know how to help someone in his position. It is a film he cares | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
very passionately about. He is passionate about the issue of | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
homelessness. He will be working with the big issue in the UK. It is | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
a bit more out of the usual in Glasgow. It is not just another | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
London premiere. It is a good launch pad. The festival runs until | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
February 28. Many events already sold out, many films already sold | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
out. The advice is to book ahead. Now here's David Henderson | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
with details of Scotland 2016. Tonight, does Scotland need to | :24:18. | :24:27. | |
rethink the way it delivers health care? An expert report says complex | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
operations needs to be done in specialist units. But does that | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
leave any room for the local hospitals which were recently saved | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
from closure? The full story at 10:30pm. | :24:43. | :24:44. | |

That is it. I am back with the headlines at eight and the late | :26:56. | :26:57. | |
bulletin. Enjoy your evening. Goodbye. | :26:58. | :27:02. |
