So it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
with the closure of a sink manufacturing plant in Falkirk. | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
The majority of people have spent their lives here. Many people, it is | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
all they know. Also on the programme, | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
organisers of a peace campaign following the death of shopkeeper | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Asad Shah say they're disappointed Glasgow's Central Mosque | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
didn't take part. Parents in Edinburgh call | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
for an independent inquiry into the school buildings | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
crisis that's turned Ronny Deila appears to be | :00:37. | :00:37. | |
safe until the summer, despite Celtic's Scottish Cup | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
defeat to Rangers. And some of the biggest names | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
in show business pay their respects One of Scotland's oldest | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
industrial sites is to close The Swiss owners of the Carron | :00:51. | :01:11. | |
Phoenix sink factory in Falkirk are moving production to Slovakia, | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
leaving only a handful The Scottish TUC described the move | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
as another huge setback Our reporter Andrew Anderson | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
has the story. News that this factory is the close | :01:27. | :01:38. | |
was broken to the workforce earlier today, and I am told it came as a | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
bolt from the blue. In recent years, Carron Phoenix has manufactured | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
sinks here, but this factory has a history going back more than 250 | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
years, when it was established as an iron foundry. Cannons that were | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
fired at Trafalgar and Waterloo are just part of the history at the | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
current company in Falkirk. Since 1759, the narration is of workers | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
also turned out iron baths, flat irons and Britain's famous red | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
telephone boxes. At its height, the factory employed 5000 people. It | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
even operated its own fleet of steamships. In recent years, granite | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
sinks have been produced on this sprawling site. No longer, it seems. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
The work will be transferred to a factory in Slovakia. The majority of | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
people have spent all their lives here. As Father, son, daughter. A | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
lot of people, that is all they know, production in there. Be | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Swiss-based group which owns Carron Phoenix plan to carry out a phased | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
closure in the next 18 to 20 months. In a statement, the company said: | :02:44. | :03:01. | |
the company says its decision has not been taken lightly, but it faces | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
tough competition from around the world. | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
It is a decision, though, that will bring to an end 250 years of his | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
dreams here in Falkirk and leave more than 200 people looking for new | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
jobs -- it will bring to an end 250 years of history. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
I'm joined by our business and economy editor Douglas Fraser. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Douglas, 200 people's jobs going at the Carron works - | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
But the resource or a big significant in the closure of this | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
plant? This was arguably the country that was most important of the | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Industrial Revolution, if you go back 250 years. And it remained | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
important. The cannons it made were important to securing British sea | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
power. It was used by Wellington and Nelson and by merchants, and became | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
important for household goods across Scotland. It was held by having | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
quick access to coal and iron ore, water power. It developed steam | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
power on a big scale and integrated it all in a way that is now | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
commonplace but was then revolutionary, at the start of the | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Industrial Revolution. But it lacked investment right away through into | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
the 20th century, and that is the story for a lot of Scottish | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
manufacturing in the heavy industries, which reverberates to | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
the present-day, a lack of investment. They could have invested | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
more money, but it was not a sustainable case for it. That is | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
why, with a bit of leverage around the election just now, you get the | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
unions saying this is the time to focus on the new factoring as an | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
area we are struggling with in Scotland. | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
As we heard, the Scottish TUC described the closure | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
of Carron-Phoenix as another blow to manufacturing here and urged | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
the political parties fighting the Holyrood elections | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
The congress also called on all the parties to raise their game, | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
But the party leaders insist their programmes | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
will resonate with all of Scotland, including union members. | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
From Dundee, here's our political editor Brian Taylor. | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
The trade unions gave birth to the Labour Party with an occasional | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
Communist bloodline, but Scottish industry has changed and so has | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
Scottish politics. Still, history has its place. The S TUC reckons | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
Labour's founder would be unimpressed with the offering from | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
any party in this election. He would think it was disappointing. He would | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
be asking for more and calling on politicians to raise their game, to | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
be ambitious for Scotland. First up at the Congress, Labour's Kezia | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Dugdale, deftly avoiding the SNP stand, a reminder that many union | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
members have turned away from her party. She promised a new body, | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
members have turned away from her skills Scotland, to promote both | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
jobs and training with a key role for the unions. And higher taxation | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
to back that up with spending. We choose to build an economy on higher | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
skills, higher wages and higher productivity. There is no future in | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
low wages and low skills. Investing in education and skills is not a | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
social expense, it is an economic investment. Starting young, Nicola | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
Sturgeon in Glasgow, promoting her party's plans to help families, | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
including a baby box with the early essentials. She will address the | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
STUC tomorrow, and says her party is more than ready to engaged with | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
trade unions. I look forward to speaking to the STUC tomorrow and | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
outlining the plans of a re-elected SNP government if we win the | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
election work without trade unions to oppose Tories' anti-trade union | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
Bill, but also to support the living wage and make sure we have the | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
working practices. Ruth Davidson was touring here, symbolic of Scottish | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
economic potential. She said touring here, symbolic of Scottish | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
Labour's thinking was puzzling. The Labour Party is confused at the | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
moment. It says it wants to help businesses by combining agencies | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
that the former First Minister said they should split up in the first | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
place. They also say they want to make Scotland the highest tax power | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
of the UK, which we know were deterred the sort of jobs and | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
investments that all the businesses in Scotland say we need. For the | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
Liberal Democrats, Willie Rennie spotlighted challenges to the rural | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
economy. He said the Labour offer on skills Scotland missed the point. I | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
think organisational change is a distraction. There is a real | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
challenge for the next five years, the investing education. Back at | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
Congress in Dundee, they persuade and cajole. The debate and discuss. | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
But it is the voters as a whole across Scotland who will settle this | :07:53. | :07:53. | |
election. And Brian joins me now | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
from the City Square in Dundee. Brian, will that criticism | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
from the unions have any I think it will. It was delivered by | :07:59. | :08:11. | |
Graeme Smith in a comradely fashion and I'm sure it will be accepted in | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
that fashion, although all the political parties have to ensure the | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
message is sufficiently broad to appeal to the whole of Scotland and | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
not just those members gathered in the STUC Congress behind me. | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
Tonight, the controversy from this, the focus has become more narrow. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
The trade union Bill at Westminster goes back to the House of Lords | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
tomorrow and the STUC say they welcome the comments by Labour on | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
this and they welcome the comments from all the parties other than the | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Conservatives opposing that trade union Bill. I gather that Nicola | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
Sturgeon, when she addresses Congress tomorrow, we'll make that a | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
key plank of her remarks. Scotland's Ahmadi Muslim | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
community has launched a campaign promoting "peace, | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
love and unity" following the death of Glasgow shop keeper Asad Shah, | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
who was attacked outside his But organisers say they're | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
disappointed that no members Standing against extremism. Members | :09:00. | :09:16. | |
of various faith and community groups came together in task to lend | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
their support to new advertising campaign being launched by the | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Ahmadi Muslim community. The message will be seen on 50 buses throughout | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee. Those backing this campaign are keen to | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
promote peace, love and unity, but they are only too aware that comes | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
against a backdrop of extremism not just on the world but dangerously | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
close to home. Past month, 40-year-old Asad Shah was killed at | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
his Glasgow shop in an attack described by police as religiously | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
prejudiced. The man charged with his murder, a Bradford taxi driver, | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Tanveer Ahmed, was condemned after he released a statement claiming he | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
had carried out the killing because he believed Mr Shah had disrespected | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
Islam. The Ahmadi are regarded by orthodox Muslims as heretics, but | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
immediately after Mr Shah's deaths, Ahmadi, Sunni Muslims and Pakistani | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
Christians put their differences aside. Add the bay's event, however, | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
members of Glasgow Central Mosque and attend despite being invited, | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
and Ahmadi leaders say they are disappointed. By not coming here | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
today, they are giving signals to the extremists that they are with | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
them, not with us. Glasgow Central Mosque's president told me he | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
couldn't attend due to a prior commitment, but he denied he was | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
sending out the wrong message by not joining the Ahmadi. It is nice that | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
they are joining now. We have always had a big responsibility and we have | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
always glad that we are against extremism and against all the other | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
things we are not allowed as a good Muslim or a good citizen. Is part of | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
the problem that you do not consider them proper muslins? Well, actually, | :11:06. | :11:18. | |
they are Ahmadis. They do not follow Muhammad. The difference is clear. | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
That Shah's popularity in the community was evident among the | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
That Shah's popularity in the floral tributes that were laid. It | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
is hoped the day's campaign against extremism will offer some kind of | :11:30. | :11:30. | |
lasting legacy. Parents in Edinburgh are calling | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
for an independent inquiry into the temporary closure of 17 | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
schools in the city. They want answers to why faults | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
were found in the buildings, which were only constructed | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
about ten years ago. Meanwhile, it's been claimed | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
children could lose many more days of classroom time because they'll | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
have to travel to different schools. It was always supposed to be a | :11:45. | :11:57. | |
holiday in Edinburgh today, but some of the kids enjoying the morning | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
sunshine have been off school for almost a month. Tomorrow, they will | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
be back in class, but dispersed across the city. They are not happy, | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
because they like to be at their own school. But it seems to be something | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
that will go on for weeks, maybe months. My son has been sent to St | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
John's in Portobello, 50 minutes away from here. It is not | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
convenient. The pupils at the royal high school will consider themselves | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
lucky. All will remain on campus. Even this afternoon, work is at a | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
pace to convert Portakabins into classrooms and there are no | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
guarantees on how long this temporary fix were have to last. On | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
the other side of town, Tess is a third-year student at Craig Mackay. | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
From Wednesday, a coach will take her and her fellow pupils to another | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
school some distance away. Among Inzamam parents who want an | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
independent -- her mum is among parents who want an independent | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
inquiry. I don't want to see any more spinning from politicians | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
around an issue that has impacted on the life and education of our | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
children. The main thing is to investigate what has happened, | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
children. The main thing is to independently and transparently, and | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
also give us an idea of what went wrong so that we can learn from that | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
and it doesn't happen again. Work continues at the affected schools. | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
The council says it should have a clearer picture of the problems in a | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
few weeks' time. By the end of this week, I aim to communicate to | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
parents how long the temporary arrangements will be required for. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
Last week, we called for an update to the council on the 17th of May, | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
and that will look at answering the questions that everybody wants | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
answers to about how this happened. Meantime, many senior pupils will | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
have to make their own travel plans. Some schools have been giving free | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
bus to give the senior pupils to help them make the journey across | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
town. Tomorrow morning, Lothian buses will put extra buses on | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
stand-by in the morning and afternoon. The final pieces of this | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
huge adjuster coppers are being lowered into place for the return to | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
school tomorrow, but with more questions than answers, there are | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
still much up in the air -- the final pieces of this logistical | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
puzzle. A look at other stories | :14:18. | :14:18. | |
from across the country now. Police in Edinburgh are appealing | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
for witnesses after an 85-year-old woman was killed by a bin lorry | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
on Sunday morning. The police want to speak | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
to a pedestrian who crossed Morningside Road just before | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
the crash and to a man standing on the pavement outside | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
a nearby chip shop. Nearly 300 jobs are set to go | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
in Aberdeen and London at the oil It's not clear how many | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
of the 280 jobs under threat Aker says it's taking the action | :14:38. | :14:45. | |
in a bid to stay competitive during a challenging time | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
for the oil and gas industry. Meanwhile, up to 21 redundancies | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
are expected at Edrington, the largest Scottish-based | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
whisky distiller. The company is closing | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
its Perth office and moving Edrington's main whisky | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
brands are Famous Grouse, The runway at Wick John O'Groats | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Airport is to be upgraded to allow planes carrying nuclear materials | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
to take off and land there. The move follows a deal that | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
will see enriched uranium transported from Dounreay | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
to the United States. The Nuclear Decommissioning | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Authority says no final decision has been taken on the preferred method | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
of transporting the waste, and the airport extension is just | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
one possible option. Nearly a quarter of Scottish workers | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
say they wouldn't discuss a mental health issue at work | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
because they fear the reaction That's according to a survey | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
commissioned by See Me, a government programme to combat | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
mental health discrimination. According to official figures, | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
640,000 working days were lost to depression last year, | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
costing the economy Celtic have no plans to sack | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
Ronny Deila until the end Fans have been calling | :15:56. | :16:07. | |
for the Norwegian to go following yesterday's Scottish Cup | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
defeat to Rangers at Hampden. But BBC Scotland understands | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
he will be given the chance to lead the club their fifth | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
consecutive title. Here's our senior Football Reporter, | :16:19. | :16:19. | |
Chris McLaughlin. History stood in defiance of a | :16:20. | :16:37. | |
present defeat A reminder of what is expected. Defeat to Rangers | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
yesterday was unexpected. But it is the manner of capitulation that fans | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
find hard to forgive. Both in equal measure, no one wanted to lose the | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
cup game, but we deserved to lose and that was disappointing. Deila | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
has had a rollercoaster relationship with the fans, but have we seen the | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
last Ronny roar? The cups are gone the league is left. Will that be | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
enough? I don't know. But how much responsibility a at the feet of the | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
players. I think the pressure will come on all of us now and | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
collectively we are going to have to deal with that. And everybody has to | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
step up and take responsibility and move forward. So with the majority | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
of the Celtic fans looking for the manager to be sacked, the board here | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
at Celtic are looking to batten down the hatches and hope he can deliver | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
another league title. It is a stay of execution though, rather than a | :17:48. | :17:56. | |
vote of confidence. Deila's days may be numbers but there will be no | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
departure for now. The Rangers chairman Dave King | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
admits he shed tears as Rangers beat Celtic to reach the Scottish Cup | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
Final. King also says Rangers transfer | :18:04. | :18:04. | |
policy might alter should they win Meanwhile a former player believes | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
the Ibrox club can challenge Celtic for the Premiership title next | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
season, IF the board back An out pouring of emotion as Rangers | :18:12. | :18:32. | |
reached the Cup Final. It reduced the chairman to tears, Dave King | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
saying it was astonishing. Holiday's ball in. Deflected off | :18:36. | :18:50. | |
Brown and Miller scores! Twice Rangers had the lead. Penalties | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
eventually required to beat Celtic on the day. King said there might be | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
a need to rethink the transfer policy should the club qualify for | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
a need to rethink the transfer Europe. Rangers' financial traumas | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
are still fresh in the mind, but they are likely to strengthen their | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
squad if the summer and one former star said they must back the manager | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
with cash. I think Rangers could be a force next season, but I think | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
that will be down to the board and maybe a guy called Dave King, if he | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
can produce the funds, I think we can challenge Celtic. A former | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Rangers manager is urging caution over talk of a tilt at the title. | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
Rangers manager is urging caution Maybe a bit earlier. Celtic will | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
look at their side of it and look to strengthen. Rangers will strengthen | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
and Hearts and Aberdeen. It will be a fantastic Premier League next | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
season. Now Cup Final fever for Rangers and Hibs. They meet in the | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
league on Wednesday. A rehearsal for the Scottish Cup Final on 21st May. | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
There could be a very Scottish feel to the British Olympic 4 times | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
Great excitement at the British Champs as Scots Stephen Milne, | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
Robbie Renwick and Duncan Scott finished second, third and fourth | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
That should be enough to secure their places | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
for Rio in the relay, with James Guy of England. | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
The Olympic swimming team will be named on Thursday. | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
Edinburgh born Micky Yule hasn't ruled out winning a medal at this | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
summer's Paralympics in Rio, saying he's waiting to pounce if more | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
Yule, who six years ago lost both his legs | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
while serving in Afghanistan, has been named in the GB | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
Two years ago he finished 4th at the Commonwealth Games | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
in Glasgow and he says that experience has set up well | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
Not such a good day for the former world snooker Champion Graeme Dott. | :20:47. | :20:57. | |
Ten years after winning the title, today he suffered a first round exit | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
from this years event at the Crucible. | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
Dott was beaten 10-4 by another former Champion | :21:03. | :21:03. | |
Meanwhile 4 time winner John Higgins resumes his first | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
round match tomorrow, with a 7-2 lead over | :21:08. | :21:08. | |
Some of the biggest names from the entertainment world have | :21:09. | :21:22. | |
paid their respects at the funeral of Ronnie Corbett. | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
The Edinburgh-born entertainer died last month aged 85 having been | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
diagnosed with a suspected form of motor neurone disease. | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
Famous faces of stage and screen turned out to remember Ronnie | :21:29. | :21:42. | |
Corbett at a church near his South London home. Becoming his friend was | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
one of best things that's happened in my career. I never thought I | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
would. He was always interested. He would say, see me on something and | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
be encouraging. A great man. Should have had a knighthood. That is the | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
legacy I think. For the entertainment he has given for 50 | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
years. They were wonderful today. What a great comedian. Shattering, | :22:11. | :22:19. | |
but there we are. I can't think of him without smiling. It is a long | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
time. I'm here to tip my hat to him. But it wasn't just the well known | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
who paid tribute. Members of local community wanted to remember the man | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
they regarded as a local hero. He was part of our community. We used | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
to see him around in his Rolls-Royce. Been watching him for | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
years and I have seen his wife a few times. We used to go to same fish | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
shop. She got his fish and chips there. We saw him at the petrol | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
station, he would stop and chat and make jokes. I will miss him. | :22:53. | :23:03. | |
Edinburgh-born Corbett was regarded as a comedy hero. He was best known | :23:04. | :23:18. | |
for his partnership with Ron ny Barker. But retirement wasn't an | :23:19. | :23:34. | |
option. He performed with his wife Ann. Despite the sombre tone today, | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
it was a time to remember someone who made people laugh for many years | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
and probably will for many more to come. | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
Now here's Andrew Kerr, with details of Scotland 2016. | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
As election leaflets pop through your letterbox, the parties are | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
asking for both your votes. Which is the best way to work the list | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
system? And people who have been stalked are raising awareness of | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
their situation. We will speak to one victim at 10.30 on BBC Two. | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
Let's get the weather now from Christopher. | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
Well it was a breezy day. Fairly bright. As we head through the night | :24:22. | :24:34. | |
the winds will ease. Still strong for the Northern Isles, but easing | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
here. Elsewhere dry with some clear spells. Temperatures for most around | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
two to four Celsius. But a touch of frost potentially through a few of | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
the sheltered glens of the north-east. As we head into | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
tomorrow, high pressure builds and stays us with, Tuesday, Wednesday | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
and Thursday. So a lot of dry, settled and sunny weather. Tomorrow | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
morning, it will be a chilly, but dry start. Plenty of sunshine and | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
the cloud will build through the day. By mid afternoon, with winds | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
much lighter, although the temperatures are the same, it should | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
feel better, it should feel warmer. The cloud will have increased | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
compared with the morning, but it will be a bright day. The chance of | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
the odd isolated shower for the Western Isles. For most dry and the | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
winds lighter, particularly in Orkney and Shetland, very windily | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
there today. But much lighter tomorrow. But it will be cool | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
compared with the mainland. The rest of the afternoon, staying dry with | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
some sunshine to end the day and clear skies over night. As we head | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
to the middle of week on Wednesday, high pressure us with, but a front | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
sneaking into the north-west bringing thicker cloud and some | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
rain. For most another dry and settled day. Here is the detail for | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
Wednesday. Best of the sunshine in the central and western parts. | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
Temperatures eleven to 13 Celsius. The front sinks south on Thursday | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
so, cloudier with some rain in the north-west and the Northern Isles. | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
Again highs of eleven or 13. Cooler by Friday. Thank you. | :26:20. | :26:25. |
