A court hears that a teenager accused of fatally stabbing a pupil | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
at an Aberdeen school wiped blood off his hands and sobbed | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
People in the most expensive houses are to pay more, | :00:27. | :01:11. | |
under the First Minister's plans for reform of council tax. | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
There are calls for tackling to be banned in school rugby, | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
but the sport says it would destroy the game. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
And we hear what Andy Murray thinks of being a dad, | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
as he prepares to defend the Davis Cup. | :01:29. | :01:29. | |
on a court has heard how a 16 -year-old boy accused of fatally | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
stabbing a teenager at an Aberdeen school wiped blood | :01:34. | :01:34. | |
off his teenager hands and sobbed the accused, who cannot be named for | :01:35. | :01:48. | |
legal reasons dot-mac and emotional day for the family of Bailey Gwynne | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
as they heard more details of the battle to save the 16 -year-old's | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
light. The trial has already heard how he died after suffering a single | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
penetrating stout wooden to the heart. Paramedic Gary Gillespie told | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
how he found Bailey lying in a corridor at cults Academy. He | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
described him as the nicest person he had ever seen. Mister Gillespie | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
said as well as looking very pale, Bailey was gasping for breath. He | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
had a wound and signs of a catastrophic loss of blood. He | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
suffered cardiac arrest. Resuscitation attempts it continued | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
until they reached Aberdeen Royal infirmary. But there were no signs | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
of life. Asked if there was anything more that could've been done, Mister | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Gillespie said no. In the immediate aftermath of the incident, the 16 | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
-year-old boy who was accused of murdering Bailey Gwynne, whom we | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
cannot name for legal reasons, was taken to the headteacher's office. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
Soon, 2-mac police officers arrived and the accused was handcuffed. The | :02:56. | :03:08. | |
accused is reported to have asked if he was dead. He said it was just a | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
moment of anger. The deputy teacher at Cults Academy dot-mac earlier, a | :03:16. | :03:27. | |
number of child witnesses told they saw the accused with a knife and a | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
knuckle-dusters in school. One friend of the accused said he didn't | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
believe he was the type of person to engage in violent activity with | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
weapons. A difficult day of evidence for Bailey Gwynne's family. The | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
accused denies murder and other charges of possessing weapons. | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon wants to increase council tax for those in | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
the most expensive houses if the SNP wins the Hollywood election in May. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
The Conservatives said it was right to keep the council tax. Labour said | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
the SNP was breaking a promise to scrap it. | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
Nicola Sturgeon's cooktop changes to council tax that should bring in an | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
extra ?100 million a year for schools. Those living in the highest | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
value houses in Scotland will pay more. How much more quiz-mac well, | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
nothing in property bands letter A- D. It rises to ?207 in band F. 335 | :04:30. | :04:47. | |
in band G. There will be exemptions for those on low incomes, including | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
pensioners. We are bringing changes to council tax in, asking those who | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
live in more expensive houses to pay more. The vast majority of people | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
will not pay any more as a result of these changes, and those with the | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
lowest incomes will pay less. There was a time when the SMP wanted to | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
abolish council tax rather than to reform it. But, after nine years in | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
power, they have decided to keep it after all and to try and make it a | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
bit fairer. I think we accept that the principle that in large property | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
should pay a little bit more. But we have to be careful that we | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
are not making more expensive properties more unaffordable. Nicola | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
Sturgeon and the SNP have won-mac not one but two elections on a | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
promise to abolish the council tax. They have broken that promise. The | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
only thing they have abolished is the council tax freeze. If the SNP | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
avoids rejection at the election, the freeze will be lifted in 2017. | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
That would let councils raise more for local councils by putting up tax | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
across all bands. Any increases would be capped at 3% by the | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
Scottish Government. The SNP seem more determined to take control away | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
from local communities and authorities. They think they know | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
best in this place over my shoulder. I think local communities know | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
better. These plans are Intel -- insulting and timid. We believe in | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
autonomy and strengthening local democracy. We believe that means | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
giving them powers to raise money they want to on local services. In | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
future, councils may be able to tax law -- derelict land and develop it. | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
A reformed council tax that makes those in bigger houses pay a bit | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
more is the centrepiece of the SNP's plan. | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
The SNP plan to reform council tax isn't as radical as some had hoped | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
for. In 2007, the party planned to replace the tax entirely with a | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
local income tax. Last year, a major report examined several turn atoms. | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
As Jamie McIvor reports, those who wanted big changes are disappointed. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Council tax pays for all sorts of services, such as this gem. Whether | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
it should be reformed or replaced as exercise minds for years. The SNP is | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
proposing something well short of the radical campaign -- change that | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
some campaign for. The body that represents most councils isn't | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
happy. I am really surprised there has been so little announced will | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
stop from the point of view of adjusting the bands, it is tinkering | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
around the edges. If it is to deliver quality, that could have | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
been done a number of years ago. Last year, a commission set up by | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
the government and Coors light studied local taxation carefully. -- | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
COSLA. The commitments were not binding but some are still surprised | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
that the changes have not been bolder. It did a good job, collected | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
vast amounts of information and evidence, consulted with people | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
around Scotland, and concluded that, although they didn't come up with a | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
around Scotland, and concluded that, specific, that council tax should | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
end anyway. It was an unfair scheme of taxation. What we have is the | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
council tax with a few bells and whistles on it. The SNP says the | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
money raised will go on education, may be helping the children here | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
when they are older. Most people will not pay significantly more | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
council tax under the SNP's plans. The bigger impact will be on those | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
who live in the -- more expensive properties. Any pressure on the | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
budget will be difficult. At the same time, we appreciate that the | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
councils have been cash-strapped in the last two years. I don't have a | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
problem paying tax, but I think that everything needs to be justified. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
When it comes to big change, they say, no pain, no gain. Is reforming | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
the council tax and easy option or is it the better one quiz-mac voters | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
get their say in May's elections. Still to come called on their calls | :09:15. | :09:35. | |
to ban contact in rugby, but some say it will spoil the game. | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
We will hear from Andy Murray on the joys of parenthood and tennis. | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
The Scottish Government is being accused of depriving the rule | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
economy of hundreds of millions of pounds because of a delay in | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
administering EU payments to farmers. A new computer system is | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
being blamed, but farmers say it has left them with cash flow problems. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
They want ministers to go back to Brussels to agree new payment | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
arrangements. Livestock prices may have been | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
holding their own at the Dingwall market today, but farmers were in no | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
mood to celebrate. Many are running out of funds and patience with the | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Scottish Government, which has been unable to pay them outstanding | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
subsidies due to them since last September. Our business is | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
suffering, but I am hearing horrendous noise from people who are | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
struggling to pay bills, just the day-to-day cash payments. The | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Scottish farming industry is entitled to ?400 million from this | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
particular EU subsidy popped. -- pot. But so far less than half of | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
the farmers have been paid. The delay is jute or problems with a new | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
computer system. The system is working, just not fast enough, and | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
we accept that. We want to get payments out before the end of the | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
month. We want to get as many payments as we can out to farmers | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
and crofters because we understand the serious cash flow problems. I | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
think Richard Lochhead has lost the confidence of rural Scotland. So | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
many payments have not been made that would have been in others | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
years, people are really struggling to make ends meet. This is a mistake | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
to stop it is a ?200 billion computer system that is not working. | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
The Scottish Government could be fined by Europe if it does not | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
administer the money by the end of June, and it is being urged to pay | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
up, in line with France and Ireland. They are trying to make sure | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
everything is right so that they don't get penalties, but they will | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
fall of the other end and get a penalty anyway. We should do what | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
they do in Ireland - pay the money out, you will get a penalty anyway. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
This comes amid fears that farmers and crofters in some Scotland's most | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
disadvantaged areas are the next to have their subsidy stall. -- | :12:14. | :12:25. | |
subsidies stalled. Should tackling be banned in rugby? | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
Doctors have written to minister saying that tackling can have | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
lifelong consequences for children. Some schools and children are | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
questioning the calls. George Watson 's College in | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
Edinburgh, the game of rugby goes hand-in-hand the history of the | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
school. Tackle, present. It is not compulsory, but the full contact | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
game begins in primary. Teachers say they follow strict guidance on | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
game begins in primary. Teachers say injuries, particularly concussion. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
If we suspect an injury, we follow the concussion guidelines, which | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
would be in practice for any sport in Scotland. We would remove the | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
child from play, liaise with parents, making sure the parent knew | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
exactly what happened. We would then follow it up with the medical team | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
at the school. Increasingly, questions are being asked about the | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
long-term health implications of tackles in rugby, and that has led | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
to these health experts calling for an outright ban in schools. They say | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
it is responsible for way more injuries and concussions than any | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
other part of the game. There are problems with learning, memory loss, | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
depression, seizures, visual impairments, even hearing | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
impairments. In the long term, we know there is an association with | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
long-term repeat concussions, with depression and mental health | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
problems, but also with serious neurological disorders. Big | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
crunching tackles have become part of the modern game. Just last week, | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
Blair Cullen was taken off after a of the modern game. Just last week, | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
clash of heads against Wales. Those at the top of the game say that | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
taking tackles out of the youth setup would be detrimental. If you | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
learn the basics and you learn properly and you are taught properly | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
from a young age, it means you can harness your techniques from a young | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
age and you will progress along and get bigger and more physical. It is | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
not like, all of a sudden, you are trying to tackle a big man running | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
at you like a train. Culture at grassroots level argue | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
there is an element of risk in all sports. James Adam is coach and | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
parent of an eight-year-old son who plays. Every week, you get thousands | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
of people playing rugby, thousands of people leaving the field with no | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
injuries. Yes, there is inherent risk in all contact sports, but as a | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
guy who played rugby for years, 20 odd years, I never once got injured | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
tackling somebody. Last year, the Scottish Government issued new | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
guidelines for rugby and said, if in doubt, sit it out. Campaigners will | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
push for a clearer picture of the future of this high impact sport. | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
UK counterterrorism measures make it more difficult for Muslim leaders to | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
compact extremism in their communities. That is the view of the | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Muslim Council of Scotland. The organisation today held | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
a counter-extremism seminar in Glasgow, attended | :15:24. | :15:24. | |
by the Justice Minister, It looked at the threat extremism | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
poses to the public, and how to better work | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
with the wider community. This confusion between community | :15:31. | :15:43. | |
relations and Security. When you put these together there are problems. | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
As many people have expressed here, they will not talk openly because | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
they think it will be taken as a security issue, whereas we want to | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
build community relations. Fifty-six pupils at a primary in | :15:57. | :16:11. | |
Milngavie are off school with symptoms of norovirus. Parents and | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
carers of children at Clober Primary School have been sent a text by East | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
Dunbartonshire Council to alert them about the outbreak. They have been | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
told if their child exhibits symptoms they are to be kept off | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
school for forty-eight hours. The school is being deep cleaned this | :16:24. | :16:24. | |
school for forty-eight hours. The evening and will be open tomorrow. | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
Two men and a woman have been charged in connection | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
with an alleged wilful fire-raising incident at Dyce police | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
It happened just before half past seven yesterday morning. | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
Police say a 41-year-old woman, and two men, | :16:36. | :16:48. | |
It's believed an unexploded torpedo found in Scapa Flow in Orkney | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
at the weekend was fired during the attack on HMS | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
The ship was sunk by a German U-boat in one of the greatest naval | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
The torpedo was discovered on the seabed during | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
Dog owners are being reminded they must have their pets | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
microchipped from the start of next month. | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
Dogs that haven't been chipped could land their owners with a fine | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
They'll also have to register their details, | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
and keep them up to date on a database. | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
I think it is something that responsible dog owners have been | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
I think it is something that doing for a long time anyway but | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
this is raising the profile and it makes it easier for lost dogs to be | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
reunited with owners, and for dogs that are causing a problem to have | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
action taken against the owner. Centenary celebrations are to be | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
held to mark 100 years since flying The airport, now Scotland's busiest, | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
started life as an aerodrome for the Royal Flying Corps | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
on this day in 1916. It was known as Turnhouse, | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
and was a key military base A series of special events, | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
giveaways and competitions are planned to celebrate | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
the anniversary. Three projects in Shetland, | :17:56. | :18:05. | |
Clydebank and Glasgow have been awarded ?1.75 million to extract | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
heat from rivers and sea water. a large scale sea-water source heat | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
pump in Lerwick. A ?75,000 grant will fund plans | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
for a heating network in Clydebank Another ?75,000 grant will be used | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
to develop an existing heating network in Glasgow | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
using the River Kelvin. Thank you very much, David. Andy | :18:27. | :18:48. | |
Murray says that parenthood has been great and hopes it can be a | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
beneficial impact on his sporting career but if it does not, it does | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
not. The world number two returns to action in the next few days | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
following the birth of his daughter, Sophia, last month. He will play for | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Team GB against Japan in the Davis Cup but it seems whatever happens, | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
he will not lose sleep over the outcome. | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
VOICEOVER: He looks the same but since we last saw him on court, Andy | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
Murray has changed a little, he is now a father. I hope that I can | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
continue to train hard and be motivated with my tennis, I hope it | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
has a positive impact but if not, that is fine, as well. Fatherhood | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
had an impact on the 90s aces star, John McEnroe, he did not win another | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
grand slam after becoming a dad. -- on the 1980s star. Add that was down | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
to sleep deprivation, which usually accompanies being a parent. -- | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
perhaps. These researchers at Stirling University are exploring | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
the impact of a lack of sleep on sporting performance. It affects | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
reaction time, reaction time is increased, there is also been a | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
recent study, a few years ago, that says it affects motor function as | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
well. They did a study looking at tennis | :19:59. | :19:59. | |
players, they sleep restricted them, they found that the tennis serve was | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
not as accurate when they had normal sleep. Nothing wrong with Stuart | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
Hogg's reactions against Italy at the weekend... Look at the deftness | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
of touch from the Scotland star to set up the try, he is a new father | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
as well. I think that I have improved a little, you do not want | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
to let the little man down! I play for him as much as anywhere else. It | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
is always thinking, what would Archie think? I | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
think I have become a little more professional. That sporting father | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
has some advice for this one, where getting a good nights sleep is | :20:39. | :20:39. | |
concerned. to the Mrs! Perhaps that is a | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
strategy employed by Novak Djokovic, the best tennis player in the world | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
has won four of 11 grand slam title since becoming a father. There are | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
some important matches in the premiership tonight, the outcome of | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
the game between Dundee United and Aberdeen will have implications for | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
the title race and the fight to avoid relegation. United are eight | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
points adrift at the bottom, Aberdeen are six points behind | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
Celtic at the top. We have a couple of special guests joining us, at | :21:17. | :21:17. | |
Tannadice. These two teams in the past became well-known, two men who | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
played many of these fixtures, Hamish | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
McAlpine and Willie Mullins. After the defeat for Kilmarnock last | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
night, and United winning the last two games, it must give the whole | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
club a huge lift. They have got to keep battling for | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
every ball. They have given himself a real | :21:40. | :21:59. | |
chance. The Motherwell game was abysmal. Right out of the blue, | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
obviously, getting big 3-0, we hoped it was Motherwell and them, but they | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
will take anything, kill mana going down, that is better than United | :22:08. | :22:27. | |
going down. -- kill mana. -- Kilmarnock. | :22:28. | :22:28. | |
Losing that late penalty equaliser, that was a big problem. That was a | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
shame. We were bitterly disappointed, | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
because they thought they had the three points in the bag. | :22:36. | :23:38. | |
Well this hazardous back-pass by Caley Thistle's Greg Tansey | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
helped Nigerian striker Abiola Dauda seal a 2-0 win | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
Meanwhile at Rugby Park all it needed was one big boot up the pitch | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
for Brian Graham in nod in Ross County's second | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
In the Championship, Harry Forrester's second goal | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
in as many games put Rangers on their way in a 2-0 | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
And it was an on loan Rangers player - Andy Murdoch - who scored the only | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
goal for Queen of the South against Hibs, meaning the Ibrox side | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
are now fourteen points clear at the top | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
Five times Scottish Rally Champion David Bogie is turning his back | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
on his home championship this season for a crack at the British title. | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
The 28-year-old from Dumfries heads to Wales this weekend for the first | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
That looks good. That looks good, yeah. New car, new team, new | :24:13. | :24:25. | |
challenge. David Bogie has teamed up with a Carlisle -based | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
company to contest the 2016 championship. | :24:34. | :24:33. | |
Mechanics are busy repairing his ?200,000 car for this weekend's mid | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
Wales Rally. It is the car's first competitive outing, although he won | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
a practice event in it last month. It was the first time this model has | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
won in the British stages. The car was good, absolutely no complaints. | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
I think if you more miles and I will be right on top of it. My initial | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
thoughts are very good. This was David in 2013, storming his way to | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
his fifth Scottish title. In 2011 he won broad that and the British | :25:07. | :25:08. | |
Crown. -- he won both that. He has not been in the wild rally | :25:09. | :25:18. | |
championship since but knows what is involved. A world round is around 45 | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
miles. The British championship round is between 75 and 120 miles. | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
It is a good bit longer. Any shorter round is between 75 and 120 miles. | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
rally, it is more of a sprint. In the British championship, you can | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
get away with a spin or a puncture, for example. This year, it will be a | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
fast pace from start to finish. His main rivals are the... He heads the | :25:44. | :25:56. | |
tartan challenge. Having tasted end of season champagne before, he is | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
keen for more. We are therefore a good competition. There will be a | :26:02. | :26:02. | |
lot of that. That is the sport. Now just before the weather | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
forecast, here's Andrew, As the opposition accuses the | :26:08. | :26:17. | |
Scottish Government squandering an opportunity to genuinely reformed | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
council tax, the minister opportunity to genuinely reformed | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
responsible will debate with Labour and the Conservatives. | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
And, our medics right to call for schools to stop rugby tackling? | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
10:30pm on BBC Two. Now, the weather. | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
The cold theme will continue for the next couple of days. This bit of a | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
picture from Kinross looks like something out of Doctor Finlay 's | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
casebook. As far as tonight is concerned, we have a yellow warning | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
for ice in coastal areas in the West and in the Northern Isles. Be aware | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
of that. We have a number of showers in the north, wintry in nature. | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
Showers in the south of die out overnight. One will linger in parts | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
of Aberdeenshire and the Northern Isles. A widespread frost will set | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
in. Heading into tomorrow, it will be the same situation - the risk of | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
ice first thing. A beautiful day on the cards for much of Scotland with | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
crisp winter sunshine. More showers in northern ages -- areas. There may | :27:25. | :27:34. | |
be some cloud coming in towards East Lothian and the Eastern board -- -- | :27:35. | :27:41. | |
eastern borders. Some cloud will come into five towards Angus. Lovely | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
sunshine in the Highlands, up towards the Grampian area. The | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
Northern Isles will see one or two showers. As we head towards dusk, we | :27:50. | :27:57. | |
will continue to -- with the same weather. There is a bit of doubt | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
about this front coming into the West. Rain, sleet or snow. It clears | :28:05. | :28:12. | |
away quickly. Look at the pressure chart - quite interesting. It means | :28:13. | :28:21. | |
a lot of dry, cold weather. Showers for North and East of Scotland. In | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
the weekend, high-pressure building in nicely, a very settled look. One | :28:26. | :28:32. | |
or two wintry showers on Friday, towards the south-east initially. | :28:33. | :28:40. | |
Now, a reminder of tonight's main news... | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
A court hears that a teenager accused of fatally | :28:44. | :28:45. | |
stabbing Bailey Gwynne at an Aberdeen school wiped blood | :28:46. | :28:47. | |
off his hands and sobbed after the incident. | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
I'll be back with the headlines at 8pm, and the late bulletin just | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team - right | :28:56. | :28:58. | |
across the country - have a very good evening. | :28:59. | :29:01. |
