shareholders. The current Chief executives said the bank is

considering an out-of-court settlement on that civil case.

:05:40.:05:43.

Changes to the way BBC Scotland is governed have been set out

:05:44.:05:46.

as part of wider reforms to the corporation.

:05:47.:05:48.

The UK Government says Scotland will be represented

:05:49.:05:50.

on the main BBC board, and there will also be a group set

:05:51.:05:53.

But the Culture Secretary said the BBC must do more to serve

:05:54.:05:57.

Our Westminster correspondent David Porter has more.

:05:58.:06:04.

Comedy favourites Craig and Ford were at the BBC in Glasgow today,

:06:05.:06:07.

launching a new series of Still Game.

:06:08.:06:11.

In which they pay pensioners Jack and Hector.

:06:12.:06:26.

Back after a nine-year absence from our screens.

:06:27.:06:29.

It is almost as if the launch was some kind

:06:30.:06:31.

Some people will need that White Paper!

:06:32.:06:34.

Maybe so but what has been decided for the BBC will

:06:35.:06:36.

The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and

:06:37.:06:40.

Another stage, this time of a political nature and more

:06:41.:06:43.

details of how the future BBC should look.

:06:44.:06:45.

The BBC will also be required to give greater focus to underserved

:06:46.:06:49.

audiences, in particular those from black, Asian

:06:50.:06:51.

And from the nations and regions, who are currently less well

:06:52.:06:58.

The BBC Trust is to be replaced with a new

:06:59.:07:05.

board set up to run day-to-day matters.

:07:06.:07:08.

It will have a Scottish representative and there will be

:07:09.:07:11.

what is called a sub board for Scotland.

:07:12.:07:13.

The licence fee, currently just over ?145 every year, will

:07:14.:07:19.

continue for at least the next 11 years.

:07:20.:07:21.

And in future, viewers will

:07:22.:07:26.

also need a licence if you want to use iPlayer catch-up services.

:07:27.:07:29.

Politically, a broad welcome for the proposals but a feeling

:07:30.:07:31.

It is important to drive up standards in the BBC in

:07:32.:07:39.

Scotland and the Secretary of State clearly said

:07:40.:07:41.

underserved by the BBC and we have said that for a long time.

:07:42.:07:52.

The BBC is less trusted in Scotland than any

:07:53.:07:54.

of the other constituent nations in the UK.

:07:55.:07:56.

a Scottish generated national and international

:07:57.:07:59.

TV news bulletin, a so-called Scottish six.

:08:00.:08:03.

Others believe that is a step too far.

:08:04.:08:07.

There are those who do not believe in a common national British

:08:08.:08:13.

identity and, if in that we might unintentionally create a wedge

:08:14.:08:16.

between Scotland and England, I would urge

:08:17.:08:18.

exercise caution in the amount of diversity that is given to the

:08:19.:08:26.

And BBC management north of the border say that the

:08:27.:08:33.

White Paper will lead to changes in what Scottish

:08:34.:08:35.

audiences get from the broadcaster.

:08:36.:08:39.

We recognise that there is a deficit in certain areas of

:08:40.:08:42.

output, there is a need for more portrayal and representation through

:08:43.:08:46.

drama output and comedy and we recognise that television

:08:47.:08:52.

news has to adapt to a country which is

:08:53.:08:54.

The BBC's present Charter expires at the

:08:55.:08:56.

Ministers say the new plans will help guarantee the

:08:57.:09:00.

corporation's future in the long-term.

:09:01.:09:11.

Aberdeen football club has unveiled plans to leave its Pittodrie home

:09:12.:09:14.

and move to a new stadium to the west of the city.

:09:15.:09:17.

It's the club's third attempt to build a new purpose-built site,

:09:18.:09:20.

but, as you might expect, not everybody's pleased.

:09:21.:09:21.

The tawdry has been the home of Aberdeen football club from with a

:09:22.:09:35.

100 years. -- the tawdry. It is still going strong but for how long?

:09:36.:09:41.

We have set her sights on making this piece of land their new homes.

:09:42.:09:46.

This is the stadium they hope to move into by 2019. Was it a new

:09:47.:09:52.

state of the art training facility. They have tried to remove on

:09:53.:09:58.

previous occasions in the last few years. Fans of modern football club

:09:59.:10:08.

demand that we need 3G pictures, we need grass pitches. We need to give

:10:09.:10:13.

the professional team the services they will be playing on. We need to

:10:14.:10:19.

have all-weather facilities. As we know, it is not always as sunny as

:10:20.:10:25.

this. That is some concern in West Hill. I am not sure about it purely

:10:26.:10:31.

because of the traffic for the area. It is bad enough the additives. --

:10:32.:10:41.

as it is. It will certainly please me. I am this season-ticket holder.

:10:42.:10:50.

Bit of a nuisance for the fans on the other side of the city. Getting

:10:51.:10:54.

over to West Hill will be quite difficult for me. Good news for the

:10:55.:11:04.

supporters and very positive for the club. The council say it is a vital

:11:05.:11:12.

part in upgrading the city's infrastructure. They have still to

:11:13.:11:14.

get past the planning process. Football and Aberdeen lost at home

Plenty of warm sunshine once again today. He is a lovely picture from

warm as it has been. To date and overnight, we are looking at a

:12:06.:12:10.

cloudier picture. Not a cold night. Fairly mild across the board and

:12:11.:12:19.

largely dry. Into tomorrow morning. Largely dry with a bit workload.

:12:20.:12:26.

Some early brightness, especially along western coastal areas. Colder

and fresher. A cloudier picture up the East Coast. A cool and fresher

10 Celsius. Through the rest of the morning and into the afternoon on

:12:49.:12:51.

Friday, cloudier skies will continue to sink further southwards. For the

:12:52.:12:59.

rest of the UK, quite a cloudy picture for the Northern but we will

:13:00.:13:05.

seize sunnier skies across southern parts, reaching highs of 22 Celsius

:13:06.:13:13.

in the London region. Not as warm and Scotland as we have had, highs

:13:14.:13:20.

of 23 or 24 Celsius. Always colder further east with that offshore

around, especially through central and southern parts, more cloud

around in the North. A similar story as we head into Sunday.

:13:39.:13:40.

Our next update is during Breakfast at 6.25 tomorrow morning.

:13:41.:13:45.

But, from everyone on the late team here in Glasgow

:13:46.:13:47.

and around the country - goodnight.
