A senior school in Stirlingshire has been partly closed | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Stirling Council says parents and pupils at Balfron High have been | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
told the school will be shut for S1 to S3 pupils next week. | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
Older pupils will have to sit their exams in other | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
parts of the building, which was constructed 15 years ago | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
using public private funding. Morag Kinniburgh reports. | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
The scaffolding is up at Balfron High. A wall came down here in the | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
winter storms. No one was hurt. Further inspections found concerns | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
with the atrium, stairwell and gym. Stirling Council says repairs are | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
needed, so the school and leisure centre are partly closed. Those | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
sitting exams can use an affected part of the building, but there will | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
be no room here for younger pupils next week. The headteacher has | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
apologised for the disruption. Stirling Council said: The high | :01:03. | :01:12. | |
school closing here in Balfron will have an impact on a wide catchment | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
area. 440 senior one, two and three pupils | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
will have no school next week, and plans are being put together for | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
alternative seating arrangements beyond then if needed. There are | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
many concerns locally. I think my relatives are still going | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
in to sit exams, but I don't know if they'll be workmen or noise. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
There were problems with it from the start, doors falling off, things not | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
fitting. I think it is pretty rubbish, | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
actually. They are better off being safe than sorry. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Balfron High was built using a public-private funding model, | :01:51. | :01:51. | |
similar to those in the Edinburgh public-private funding model, | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
crisis. Stirling Council says no other schools in its area are | :01:56. | :01:56. | |
affected. The SNP leader has insisted | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
she has the backing of a sufficient number of voters | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
to implement her manifesto. Nicola Sturgeon has also | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
offered to find common The conservatives, who are now | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
the main opposition, say they won't let the SNP ride | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
"roughshod" over the parliament. Here's our political | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
correspondent, Andrew Kerr. In the shadow of the kelpie is, the | :02:15. | :02:29. | |
SNP group met. All 63 of them, but too short of a majority. An historic | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
victory, particularly in a proportional system. Common ground | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
would be sought, but... We have a clear and unequivocal | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
mandate to implement the manifesto that we fought and won this election | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
on. However, there are crunch issues | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
where the SNP might struggle. Criticism from the left on the | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
income tax plans, the Greens will push for a fracking Bang, and there | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
is opposition to planned cuts in Air Passenger Duty, and the Named Person | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
legislation, people appointed to monitor children's welfare. They may | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
not have a majority, but the SNP are still defiant. | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Nicola Sturgeon says she will implement a manifesto, and will not | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
let the other parties stand on the way. But the Conservatives, after | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
more than doubling their tally and Ruth Davidson, are preparing for a | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
muscular opposition. She does not have the mandate to try | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
to run roughshod over the Scottish Parliament in the way that the | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Nationalists did in the last Parliament with an overall majority. | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
This will be a very different five years of Scottish politics. | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
Labour, bumped down to third place, also said today they want to be a | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
positive and effective opposition. But when horse trading begins, there | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
is only one person in a dominant position. | :03:45. | :03:45. | |
Andy Murray is through to the final of the Madrid Open, | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
The Scot won the tournament last year, and lobbed Nadal | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Nadal has been called the King of the Clay court, | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
but Murray's victory came in straight sets. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
He'll contest tomorrow's final against either | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
In Rugby, Glasgow Warriors missed the chance to clinch top spot | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
They lost 14-7 against Connacht in Galway. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
When Puafisi was sent off, it made Glasgow's effort to get | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
a tenth win in a row much more difficult. | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Football, and there were four matches in the Premiership today. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
The results mean Hamilton and Partick pull further away | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
And Hibs' 2-0 win against Raith Rovers means they'll play | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
Falkirk in the semifinal of the Premiership playoffs. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
It's over to Christopher now with the weather forecast | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Thank you. It has been the warmest day of the year so far down south, | :04:40. | :04:50. | |
and that has sparked a fuse thundery downpours, which could come our way | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
later. For many today, it has been fairly cloudy, hazy sunshine, and | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
patchy rain in the forecast this evening. Here is the chart, with | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
brain working its way up the West hand side. In the early hours, | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
thunderstorms give a glancing blow across the south-west, but should | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
not last too long. So Mr Mellor ping around North Sea coast, and this is | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
how we start things tomorrow. One to light showers, certainly some | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
sunshine by lunchtime, as we will see right across the UK, and | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
certainly down south, warm if not hot, with temperatures in the | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
mid-20s. More cloud for Northern Ireland, and certainly for us, we | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
will seize on very pleasant conditions indeed. Let's take a | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
closer look at mid-afternoon. In the West, temperatures into the low 20s, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
perhaps sparking one to heavy downpours, but there will be hit and | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
miss and most people will escape them. Further east, a little cooler, | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
and Chile at times, with a sea breeze at times. In the US, where we | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
have a high temperatures, shower cloud building at times. -- in the | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
West. Plenty of sunshine into the evening, perfect barbecue weather. | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Looking ahead to next week, Monday, we do it all again. Plenty of | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
sunshine, dry, fine, bright and warm. If anything, temperatures up a | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
notch in the West, 23-24 in some spots. Cooler further east, and | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
cooler still right in the east coast. Tuesday, down south, it is | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
their turn to have some fairly unsettled conditions, with this | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
weather from producing wet weather, but further north, for us, dry, fine | :06:25. | :06:25. | |
weather from producing wet weather, and bright, and temperatures again | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
in the low 20s. Thanks, Chris. | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
And that's Reporting Scotland. Our next update is tomorrow | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
evening at 5:50. Until then, from everyone | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
on the team, enjoy the rest | :06:32. | :06:34. |
