possible. It might be months before some of them are ready to be open?

:01:01.:01:04.

It impossible for me to be definitive about that. Some might be

students are back today but significant parts of the building

are still closed off. Through there significant parts of the building

is the gym hall. It's very strictly out of bounds. All students due to

:01:29.:01:32.

sit exams soon are now back at school. Some practical exams have

:01:33.:01:37.

been postponed. We'd hope the next three weeks would fully prepare our

young people for the exams and any borderline cases, I'd hope it would

the partnership because they are responsible for the maintenance and

:02:26.:02:29.

management of the schools. Weathered finance deals have always been

:02:30.:02:32.

controversial for schools but separate to this there is a question

:02:33.:02:37.

about council building control. It turns out the private business not

:02:38.:02:44.

the council signed the school. Depending on the type of contract,

:02:45.:02:50.

there might have been no requirement for the authority to carry out a

:02:51.:02:55.

formal inspection. But questions over why things went so badly wrong

:02:56.:03:00.

will take time to answer. The youngsters here are lucky than many.

:03:01.:03:04.

Some parents and children still don't know which school building

on the Stade de France in Paris has BBC Scotland has been

given access to the hub, from where security and safety

:05:01.:05:05.

will be co-ordinated. All quite now but by the weekend

:05:06.:05:17.

this Glasgow police station will be a hive of activity. This is where a

:05:18.:05:21.

massive security operation surrounding the Scottish Cup

:05:22.:05:25.

semifinals will be masterminded. Hampton said in might be the main

:05:26.:05:28.

focus but this operation takes on the rest of Glasgow and towns and

:05:29.:05:33.

cities all over the country. Factored into their safety strategy

:05:34.:05:37.

is a new element. The terror attack on the Stade de France means

:05:38.:05:43.

additional security is the norm. Glasgow police host events week in

:05:44.:05:48.

and week out and we have a proportional level of response

:05:49.:05:54.

there. The threat level is severe. We are alive to that. We have armed

:05:55.:06:00.

officers on duty. 365 days a year and 24-hour is a day to provide a

:06:01.:06:08.

response should we need to respond. It's not just the job of the police

:06:09.:06:12.

to ensure things go smoothly at the weekend. Inside the stadium, it is

:06:13.:06:17.

also the responsibility of Hampton Park Limited, their operation will

:06:18.:06:20.

be controlled from up inside the control room behind me to my right.

:06:21.:06:24.

That's where they will be monitoring fans to insure their safety, first

further instances of pyrotechnics being set off inside the stadium is.

:06:36.:06:40.

Equally, police say offensive behaviour, including singing, will

:06:41.:06:45.

be dealt with, if not on the day, then retrospectively. Historically,

:06:46.:06:49.

Rangers versus Celtic games can be volatile. Players have been reminded

:06:50.:06:55.

of their responsibilities. Our words of advice forgotten in the heat of

:06:56.:06:59.

battle? It is common sense that it is also partly emotion, the

:07:00.:07:04.

excitement, and that is why you have to keep a level head when you are

:07:05.:07:08.

playing. The players have responsibility for themselves, to

:07:09.:07:11.

their team-mates, to the club, to the fans. Whatever you need to win,

:07:12.:07:15.

you'll do. Although there is plenty at stake, police are as keen as

anyone for the post match headlines to be about first football. -- to be

:07:21.:07:25.

about the football. At the halfway point

:07:26.:07:27.

in the Holyrood election, jobs, wages and pensions have dominated

:07:28.:07:30.

the day's campaigning. Here's our political

correspondent, Glenn Campbell. When ship will ding jobs came under

find a buyer for Ferguson 's and that she wouldn't hesitate to step

:07:48.:07:51.

in again in similar circumstances. If you want to have a First Minister

:07:52.:07:55.

and government that puts economic growth central to everything we do

:07:56.:07:59.

and is prepared to intervene to protect jobs and industries, that

:08:00.:08:06.

government has to be the SNP. At lunch with older people in

pensioners who are losing out on new came title and. They say better

:08:15.:08:20.

benefits can be paid for by growing a more highly skilled workforce. The

:08:21.:08:24.

only way we can bring high skilled these are jobs to Scotland is by

:08:25.:08:27.

investing in those skills which is why we are arguing to use the tax

:08:28.:08:32.

powers to invest more in education. To get ahead of the economic

:08:33.:08:36.

competition, the Conservatives in Hamilton say politicians need to

:08:37.:08:42.

make running a business easier. It's about tailored business support,

:08:43.:08:45.

keeping business rates low, freezing them until we get an overhaul, and

:08:46.:08:50.

not making Scotland the highest taxed part of the UK like the other

:08:51.:08:55.

parties want to do. In Dunfermline, the Liberal Democrats want no more

:08:56.:09:01.

tax to go to grants to firms that don't page the living wage and more

:09:02.:09:05.

investment in education. The biggest talent we have in this country is a

:09:06.:09:09.

skilled workforce. Education has suffered in recent years. We need to

:09:10.:09:13.

reverse that to get the workforce back to its best so we can have a

:09:14.:09:18.

vibrant economy. Different parties, different priorities for growing the

:09:19.:09:19.

economy. Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs

:09:20.:09:21.

insists there's no favourite ahead of Saturday's Scottish Cup semifinal

:09:22.:09:23.

match against Dundee United. Both sides have been struggling

:09:24.:09:25.

in their respective leagues lately, Hibs fighting for second

:09:26.:09:29.

in the Championship and United facing relegation

:09:30.:09:31.

from the Premiership, so who can come out on top

:09:32.:09:35.

at the National Stadium? Here's our senior Football Reporter

:09:36.:09:37.

Chris McLaughlin. There's been plenty of talk about

:09:38.:09:48.

the Hampton pitch which has just been relayed in the lead up to this

:09:49.:09:52.

weekend. Plenty of talk, too, about the Old Firm. Today, it's all about

:09:53.:09:58.

these two. The head-to-head has become something of a tradition. The

:09:59.:10:02.

two sides with a worrying Hampton history, it is the present that is

:10:03.:10:06.

causing concern. Princes Street in Edinburgh look like this the last

:10:07.:10:12.

time Hibs won the trophy in 1942. In 2016 they've won two matches in 11

:10:13.:10:18.

but... Form is temporary. Quality is permanent. And when you've got

:10:19.:10:25.

quality, it is just a matter of time before that comes back to the fore.

:10:26.:10:37.

They've remained defiant in the face of difficulties. This year has been

:10:38.:10:43.

really bad. The numbers that follow us away from home, the numbers

:10:44.:10:49.

regularly attending are great. They are vocal and they support the team.

:10:50.:10:54.

Looking at the form, you will say both will lose because they are in

:10:55.:10:56.

Looking at the form, you will say such a horrendous state. I was at

:10:57.:10:59.

Hibs the other night, they threw away their lead. We all know the

:11:00.:11:06.

kind of season Dundee United have had, so it is difficult to pick a

:11:07.:11:09.

winner. If one can shake of the past and current form, a final against

:11:10.:11:13.

Celtic or Rangers awaits. Well, it's over to the weather

:11:14.:11:15.

outlook for tonight and tomorrow. Good evening. We've had a reasonable

:11:16.:11:25.

day of weather but it is all change tonight into tomorrow morning. Some

:11:26.:11:29.

real wintry weather in the forecast and as a result the Met Office has

:11:30.:11:33.

issued a yellow be aware warning for some snow. More especially in the

:11:34.:11:39.

north of Scotland. Here is why. This cold front continues to push towards

:11:40.:11:44.

the north and behind that a cold northerly wind turning the rain to

:11:45.:11:49.

snow, more across the mountains and the high ground. Perhaps a of snow

:11:50.:11:56.

during the night to lower levels. Ice on roads. Temperatures had

:11:57.:12:02.

freezing. Tomorrow morning, that band of rain and sleet and snow

:12:03.:12:07.

sinking its way through central and southern Scotland through the day.

:12:08.:12:11.

Behind it tomorrow afternoon, more wintry showers feeding into the

:12:12.:12:15.

North a heavy, frequent showers with the odd rumble of thunder. Snow to

:12:16.:12:21.

lower levels, unlikely to settle by the hours of daylight with strong

:12:22.:12:25.

April sunshine melting these snow showers. It'll feel fairly cold with

:12:26.:12:32.

strong to gale force northerly wind. We will see some sleet and snow

:12:33.:12:36.

through central and southern areas, the snow largely a high ground

:12:37.:12:40.

future with tricky driving conditions. Across the UK, and

:12:41.:12:45.

improving picture across Northern Ireland. Some wet weather across

:12:46.:12:48.

northern England and some heavy downpours through is parts of

:12:49.:12:53.

southern and eastern England with the odd rumble of thunder. There is

:12:54.:12:57.

a temperature contrast with highs of 15 in London, some of us in Scotland

:12:58.:13:05.

struggling to reach five or six. For the evening period in Scotland, we

:13:06.:13:10.

lose the band of rain, sleet and snow, but there are wintry showers

:13:11.:13:14.

in the north, perhaps settling in the Highlands. Saturday, and

:13:15.:13:18.

improving picture. Largely dry and bright and staying cool. That is the

:13:19.:13:20.

forecast. Our next update is during Breakfast

:13:21.:13:21.

at 6:25am tomorrow morning. But, from everyone on the late team

:13:22.:13:24.

here in Glasgow and around
