That's all from the BBC News at Six. We can now join the news teams where | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
you are. Tommy Sheridan is back in court | :00:00. | :00:00. | |

Jackie Stewart. Nobody has ever seen the finish of a motor race like | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
this. A Formula One champion | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
on how to keep Scotland Motor sport in Scotland, per capita, | :00:45. | :00:56. | |
we are leading the world. Whether it is rally driving, motorbike or cars. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
It is to wield as well as four wheels. -- two wheels. | :01:01. | :01:06. | |

Tommy Sheridan was back in court today defending his 200 thousand | :01:12. | :01:27. | |
pound defamation win - ten years ago - against the now | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Appeal Court judges are considering whether to overturn | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
News Group newspapers argue that because the former MSP was later | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
convicted of perjuring himself the verdict should be set aside. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Ten years ago Tommy Sheridan walked out of the Court of Session | :01:47. | :01:59. | |
jubilant. What we have done in the last five weeks is the equivalent of | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
Gretna taking on Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and beating them on | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
penalties. He had just won a defamation case against the News of | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
the World and was awarded ?200,000 in damages. The now-defunct paper | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
claimed he was a swinger and had cheated on his wife. After winning | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
the case in 2006, his elation was not to last. Four years later he was | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
convicted of perjury and sent to prison. Now News Group newspapers | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
are appealing to have the verdict overturned. Mr Sheridan arrived for | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
the hearing in front of three appeal judges. They say Mr Sheridan's 2010 | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
convictions for perjury is conclusive proof he had lied about | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
sensual, important part in his defamation case. Tommy Sheridan went | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
on to read an e-mail exchange with News of the World executives. It | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
detailed what was paid for a witness described as shaky to do by in case | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
she was called for evidence. Tommy Sheridan told the court he had not | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
lied in his case. The Red out a statement from a woman who claimed | :03:14. | :03:14. | |
she had had six with him many times. she had had six with him many times. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
-- he read at a statement. Mr Sheridan said it was proof that the | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
newspaper printed these lies. The at the Court of Session for three | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
days. One of the accused in the Liam Fee | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
murder trial has told a court to check on Liam and knew | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
he was dead because he was so white. Ms The game an account of events on | :03:40. | :04:05. | |
Saturday. She said she was in the living room when she decided to go | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
and check on him. -- Miss Fee gave an account she said she took of his | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
blanket because he was called 999. The operator told her | :04:15. | :04:28. | |
how to perform CPR. She said she tried it over and again but it was | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
not working. She said Rachel had collapsed on the | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
floor. A second statement jury by a family liaison officer was | :04:35. | :04:47. | |
that she also recalls what happened that night. After a scream Rachel | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
said she ran into the bedroom describing Liam as white and limp | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
less. While performing CPR she described | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
hearing a crackling sound. She child who was there saying, what | :04:59. | :05:13. | |
have you done? The boy put his hands to his face and neck. They deny | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
murdering Liam. Police are investigating | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
what they've described as the "suspicious" death of a child | :05:25. | :05:25. | |
in Glasgow three weeks ago. The toddler, believed to be | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
14-month-old Inayah Ahmed, was reported to have become unwell | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
at her home in Drumchapel. She was taken to the city's sick | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
children's hospital where she died Police are following several lines | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
of inquiry into the circumstances At Holyrood, there's a battle | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
building over the key post Tricia Marwick will step | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
down on Thursday after She's urged reforms to strengthen | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
the role of Parliament. And that's a key issue as MSPs | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
consider how best to scrutinise This from our political | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
editor, Brian Taylor. Tricia Marwick attends upon the | :05:57. | :06:14. | |
Queen. A reminder that the remit is wide. She also keeps order in | :06:15. | :06:24. | |
Parliament. Tricia Marwick's deputies welcomed the President of | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Ghana. They are keen to step up. Miss Smith wants to inform | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
colleagues first. John Scott is ready. I would aim to bring fairness | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
to the job. That has been that thing in the path that has kept me awake | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
at night, wondering if I had been fair across-the-board to all | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
members. The first presiding officer was David steel of the Liberal | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
Democrats. He was followed by George Reid of the SNP. Finally Tricia | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Marwick also what the SNP. All left their parties behind when they took | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
the job. It was said the presiding officer should not come from the | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
governing party. The SNP is happy to accept that because, as a minority, | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
they cannot afford to give up even one vote. Within the Conservative | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
group, Murdo Fraser is considering the prospect and is thought to have | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
backing from Ruth Davidson. Would SNP members back a Tory perhaps to | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
remove one vote from Tory ranks? Some say it is up to Labour. The | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
former leader, Johann Lamont, is a contender. Some question her | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
comments in the daily record where she said Parliament needs to correct | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
mistakes. She said you was making a general point and not singling out | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
the SNP. I think it is about asserting the role of Parliament. At | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
certain stages we do different things better. Our ambitions | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
regarding access to Parliament and scrutinising the Government, | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
cross-party we can agree with that. It is not about the Government | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
having a good idea and pushing it through because they have a | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
majority. That is Labour's Ken Mackintosh in his election campaign | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
video. He says he also seeks to spread harmony at Holyrood. We need | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
someone who can work with people and not against them. I would work with | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
others to make sure their views came across. A solution could be at hand. | :08:36. | :08:46. | |
Gary says he will do the job if he gets a throne. Brian, why is there a | :08:47. | :08:57. | |
feeling there needs to be further reform of Holyrood? In politics, it | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
is about power. There are different interests at stake. The SNP wants to | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
get as much of their manifested through as possible, even though | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
they are in minority. Opposition parties want to contain them, | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
constrain them. Not work against them. They are the opposition. They | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
want to hold back and reform and revised that there is a wider issue | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
here as well. Scottish parliament does not have a revising second | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
chamber. They have to get it right first time. There are many across | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
all the parties who filled the committee system needs to be | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
sharper, more precise and more focused, in order to ensure that | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
legislation is better. Thank you. Still to come on | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
tonight's programme... How the steamy sights and sound | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
of the West Highland line In sport, as one bookie suspends | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
betting on the next Celtic manager, the speculation over Ronny Deila's | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
replacement goes into overdrive. And from the home of Scottish rugby | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
to a new home entirely - Edinburgh go in search | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
of that special atmosphere. In scenes that are more | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
Hitchcock than Countryfile, hundreds of young lambs | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
are being killed or injured in attacks by ravens | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
in the north of Scotland. Farmers in Caithness have | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
launched a petition calling Now Scottish natural heritage says | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
it will consider greater controls, The lambing season is normally the | :10:25. | :10:42. | |
highlight of the year for sheep farmers. Their newborn stock is | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
under attack from the common Raven, which is wreaking havoc on their | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
holding. I have lost probably about 30 lambs to ravens this year. Also | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
we are not getting a chance to save any lands. It is haunting to see | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
your hard work lying there and dying. For the children to | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
experience as well, it is very upsetting. Images of the slaughtered | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
lambs are too gory. Birds attacked their eyes and tongue is first. On | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
this farm, there is evidence that they strike when the sheep is giving | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
birth. The carnage is repeated in Caithness where they are reporting | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
hundreds of losses. The ravens are teaming up and attacking the lambs. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
You didn't mind one or two over a season but it is getting more and | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
more ravens appearing. Ravens can be shot under licences issued by | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
Scottish Natural high Heritage. The rules on permits are far too | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
restrictive. It is felt that this has reached a climax and there needs | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
to be serious control measures put in place. We believe that could be a | :12:07. | :12:15. | |
season stipulated carrying out Raven control. Conservationists warn they | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
season stipulated carrying out Raven will challenge any move to take them | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
off the protected species list. It is not nice to see young lambs being | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
taken by ravens. We need to find the best way to tackle that. In the | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
meantime, farmers throughout the area are on high alert, as the | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
so-called bird of darkness continues to cast a shadow over their | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
livestock and livelihoods. Edinburgh Council expects | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
an independent inquiry into the closure of 17 schools | :12:54. | :12:54. | |
in the city to conclude before The council says the search | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
for a chair - who'll determine the inquiry's remit - | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
could extend beyond Scotland with the aim of having | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
someone in place by summer. Repair work on the schools, | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
which closed due to safety fears, remains on track allowing them | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
all to reopen in time The official Scottish campaign | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
for Britain to remain in the EU has launched | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
with a message that it "doesn't include political parties and wants | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
to connect with people Scotland Stronger in Europe | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
featured the chairwoman of its advisory group, | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Professor Mona Siddiqui. Meanwhile, former SNP deputy leader | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
Jim Sillars has called on nationalists to vote to leave | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
the European Union. A look at other stories | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
from across the country. A man has appeared in court charged | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
with murder after a death The body of Kazi Ahmad was found | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
in his flat in Rosemount Mr Ahmad managed the Raj Dulal | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
restaurant in the city's Dee Street. 62-year-old Riasat Khan, | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
of no fixed abode, made no plea or declaration at Aberdeen Sheriff | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
Court and was remanded in custody. The National Trust for Scotland | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
has hit out at plans by Scottish Hydro to build | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
a new high voltage power line SSE wants to upgrade the grid | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
connection between Beauly and Kintore in Aberdeenshire | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
and wants to build a new powerline Campaigners who fought | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
to save the historic former gatehouse to Edinburgh's Royal | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
Botanic Gardens have seen their efforts rewarded | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
as the restored cottage First built in the 18th century, | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
it marked the entrance It was earmarked for demolition | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
but campaigners secured a grant to rebuild the cottage, | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
moving the original stones one It is therefore the future. Kids and | :14:44. | :14:59. | |
people can come to visit this and hopefully they will be able to learn | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
how the gardeners and so on lived and worked. It is about living | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
history really, isn't it? Pictures have been | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
released of a rescue operation on Ben Nevis | :15:13. | :15:13. | |
after a climber fell near the summit The man, who had injured his hand | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
and leg, was helped by the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team | :15:17. | :15:20. | |

holding on the night of his election win have helped | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
raise ?250 for charity. Edinburgh's Gorgie city farm | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
was the scene of a campaign highlight when Mr Rennie | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
was upstaged by some amorous pigs. A newspaper competition named | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
the pair Kama and Sutra. Sir Jackie Stewart has | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
given his backing to a new partnership aimed | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
at developing The Formula One legend says | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
there are more champions out Who is it going to be? Jackie | :15:51. | :16:10. | |
Stewart leads over the line. Jackie Stewart, the flying Scot, three | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
times world champion, a benchmark by which others are judged. Not quite | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
so easy getting in and out these days. Now in his 70s and racing | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
royalty. Giving his full backing to a new scheme to fund motorsport. | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
Motorsport in Scotland per capita we are leading the world with | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
successes, whether it is in rally driving, motorbike as well as cars. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
It is two wheels as well as 4-wheel. We have to build that further if | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
we're going to get another new generation of topline racing | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
drivers. I think this is great start. The idea of this funding is | :16:48. | :16:57. | |
to find the next great Scottish motorsport talent which takes them | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
from karting to rallying or from karting to single seater racing, | :17:03. | :17:14. | |
following the steps of Coulthard. Straight on, over a bridge. Rallying | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
also brought great successful Scotland, not least with Jimmy McRae | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
winning titles ahead of his son, Colin, winning world title. He is | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
convinced more champions are out there waiting to be discovered. | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
convinced more champions are out Young guys with loads of talent and | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
no money. There are older guys with loads of money and no talent. | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
Hopefully this will bring on the young guys with talent. We invest | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
already in 50 sports, a huge range of sports and this is an opportunity | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
to recognise the interest in motorsport and take that forward. So | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
Jackie says it is important to keep momentum going, to look to business | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
and sponsorship to invest more in the sport and find the future world | :18:01. | :18:01. | |
champion. Jonathon's got our | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
sporting round-up. Roy Keane is the new favourite to be | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
the next Celtic manager. The Republic of Ireland number two | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
has been linked with the job in the past but one bookmaker has | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
now stopped taking bets on him Here's our Senior Football | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
Reporter Chris McLaughlin. Well, even before Ronnie Deila | :18:18. | :18:28. | |
announced he was standing down here there was already speculation about | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
who would replace him. We have already seen Brendan Rodgers as the | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
favourite. David Moyes has been the favourite. Today, one particular | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
Irish book-maker has suspended betting on Roy Keane. Is that a | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
publicity stunt? Perhaps. But we know that the Celtic owner is a fan | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
publicity stunt? Perhaps. But we of the former Manchester United | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
captain. He tried to bring him in last time. It was thought Deila | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
could be his number two. Roy Keane as the new manager? Here's one man | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
who has worked underneath him at sun derland. He is hard, but fair. What | :19:04. | :19:14. | |
you see is really what you get. He was an aggressive player, he wanted | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
to win every match and from what I have seen it's exactly the same as a | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
manager. Celtic have two games remaining before the season ends. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
But my information from the club is that no decision is imminent and | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
that they are still interviewing potential candidates so don't be | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
surprised if you see more favourites between now and the new man being | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
announced. Watch this space. | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
The Hibs manager Alan Stubbs says he won't let speculation | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
over his future get in the way of the Premiership play-off | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
It's the first leg tonight at Easter Road, with the second-leg | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
In from Henderson. McGregor! 2-0. Hibs kept alive hopes of promotion | :19:51. | :20:10. | |
with victory in the play-off quarter-final. Over the weekend the | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
Hibs boss linked with a vacancy at Bolton, but with a Scottish Cup | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
final on the horizon as well, he says his focus is entirely on Hibs. | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
Only one thing on my mind right now and that's trying to achieve a great | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
end to the season for the football club. And nothing will deter me away | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
or make me lose concentration, no matter what is in the paper. In | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
contrast, the Hibs exertions against Raith, Falkirk sealed second place | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
in the championship with victory over Morton. They face Hibs and then | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
host them for a second leg on Friday T should be tight. Four games | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
between the sides this season, three draws and one narrow Hibs victory. I | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
think it's important that we stress to players and I am sure Alan will | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
say to his players as well, keep discipline, not just in the shape | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
side of the game and tactics but also keep discipline, no doubt there | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
will be tackles flying and that's the nature of the beast. The sides | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
met in the Scottish Cup semifinal last year. Falkirk were the winners | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
that day. Who will be celebrating first leg success tonight? | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
And there's live commentary of the match on Sportsound, along | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
with updates from the Premiership game between Dundee United | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
and Partick Thistle and Clyde versus Queen's Park | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
in the League One play-off final first leg. | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
Edinburgh Rugby's chief executive says the move from Murrayfield | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
to Myreside should build a strong future for the club. | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
It should also certainly generate a better atmosphere. | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
Currently an average of 4,000 Edinburgh fans cheer | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
their side on in a stadium with a capacity of 70,000. | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
Murrayfield, it's been the spiritual home for Edinburgh rugby over the | :21:54. | :22:04. | |
past 20 years. But a move up the road is afoot. Along with a new | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
partnership. We need as a club to be able to create space for ourselves, | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
to really grow and move ourselves forward and this is the ideal | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
opportunity in partnership with the college who have been a willing | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
partner to engage with. The move to here will take place next January | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
and the capacity will be increased from 2,000, to around 5,000. | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
However, for bigger games it will attract bigger crowds, Edinburgh | :22:35. | :22:35. | |
However, for bigger games it will will return to Murrayfield. Matches | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
like the 1872 Scottish Cup, the big event matches where this year we had | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
a crowd of 24,000 and we look to continue to grow that we would look | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
to always take these back to here at Murrayfield. One former captain of | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
Edinburgh and George Watson's says the move will bring a much needed | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
attribute for the Pro side. It's always been received well by the | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
players. It's a tremendous surface, it's a wide pitch, it's as big as | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
Murrayfield. Big in-goal areas, it's attractive to play rugby, it's more | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
about the intimacy and atmosphere that Edinburgh can generate now and | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
that's what I am looking forward to. Nine months to wait for the fans. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
They hope the move will turn around the club's fortunes on the pitch. | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
That's the sport for tonight. The West Highland Rail line | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
between Fort William and Mallaig is one of the great railway journeys | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
of the world and it's back Its fame may have been boosted | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
by its key role in the Harry Potter films but, as Craig Anderson | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
reports, this year the sound Through 42 miles of some of the most | :23:42. | :23:53. | |
stunning scenery. This is the first week back in operation for the | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
summer season. With brilliant sunshine and temperatures of more | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
than 25C, train spotters and passengers on board were delighted. | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
We are loving it. It's a beautiful day. Gorgeous. Fantastic day. Very | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
good so far. I am impressed by the weather. The train was packed today. | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
good so far. I am impressed by the And it's booked up weeks and months | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
in advance. There was definitely a Harry Potter effect but they did a | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
survey on train journeys of the world and it was one of those | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
services they identified as probably the greatest. | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
But an official inquiry and court prosecutions over safety failings by | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
the train company in the west of England led to fears that regulators | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
might ban West Coast railways from running services this year. | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
Fortunately that's been sorted out now. It would be a disaster, it | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
would be a knock-on effect. There is not just people like myself but you | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
have folks who run bed and breakfasts and so on, all along the | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
line, they would all be affected by the steam train not being around. It | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
brings good things to the area. The return of the steam train to the | :25:04. | :25:14. | |
line signals brighter summery days ahead. The fact that it attracts | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
hundreds and hundreds of visitors and enthusiasts means it brings joy | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
to the tourist industry too. This year that joy has been twinned with | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
a measure of relief due to the fact that it might not have been able to | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
run on these tracks after all. Just ahead of the weather news | :25:31. | :25:40. | |
of tonight's Scotland 2016. And we hear from an 84-year-old | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
survivor of Hiroshima who's urging politicians here to oppose | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
the renewal of the Trident nuclear I started seeing moving objects | :25:47. | :26:00. | |
nearing me. I couldn't believe they were human beings. They just didn't | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
look like human beings. It was a procession of ghosts. You can see | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
more that was interview tonight on BBC Two. | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
Now the latest weather forecast. Plenty of dazzling sunshine on offer | :26:12. | :26:25. | |
as demonstrated here. Not a cloud in the sky. I should also mention that | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
our top hot spots this afternoon were on the Isle of Skye. | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
our top hot spots this afternoon Sglp The emphasis for tonight and | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
the overnight period is for plenty of dry weather and clear skies too. | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
Here is the picture this evening. Plenty of late evening sunshine to | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
end the day. Perhaps more cloud feeding in to south-western parts | :26:49. | :26:49. | |
end the day. Perhaps more cloud and perhaps a few spots of rain. | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
Elsewhere, largely dry and plenty of clear skies. Mist and fog forming up | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
through the northern Isles, perhaps sinking south. But not a cold night | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
by any means. Temperatures holding newspaper double figures along the | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
West Coast and perhaps sheltered rural spots dipping to around four | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
or five. Tomorrow morning and any mist and | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
low cloud in the far north perhaps stubborn to clear but it eventually | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
does that during the morning and cloud in the south-west also | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
clearing away to leave another fine, dry and bright day. Plenty of | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
sunshine around and in that sunshine temperatures responding well, | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
particularly so along the West Coast. We could see temperatures | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
reaching highs of 22 for many parts. Always cooler up through the | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
northern Isles where we will have a fresh north-Easterly breeze and | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
similarly along the coast and down the east coast with a fresh onshore | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
breeze. Into the rest of the afternoon into | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
the evening period, not much change. We are hanging on to plenty of fine | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
and dry weather and sunshine to end the day. Perhaps more in the way of | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
cloud feeding in to the south-east corner. Thursday then and we are | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
pulling air in from the north but still under the influence of high | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
pressure so plenty of fine and dry weather. That air from the north is | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
going to be pegging temperatures back along the east coast. Further | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
west doing best. That's it for now. Thank you very much. That's | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
Reporting Scotland. We are back after the 10.00pm news. Until then, | :28:25. | :28:25. | |
good evening. | :28:26. | :28:26. |
