All of a sudden there was hope. It would never have been there if the | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
machines had not existed or they had would never have been there if the | :00:41. | :00:42. | |

Craig Whyte, is now the only person facing fraud charges in connection | :00:57. | :01:20. | |
with his involvement with the club. He appeared alone in the dock | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
at the High Court in Glasgow during a procedural | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
hearing this morning. All the men who were originally | :01:27. | :01:27. | |
charged with him have now had Inside the High Court today, Craig | :01:28. | :01:43. | |
Whyte had sat by himself in the dock, the only man now facing fraud | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
charges for his time at Rangers. How does it feel to be the only man left | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
charges for his time at Rangers. How in the dock? | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
Outside, his thoughts on that were kept to himself. The Crown told the | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
court that charges had been dropped against four other men. However, in | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
relation to two others, the prosecution said they may consider | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
raising fresh charges against them in future. David Whitehouse and Paul | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
Clarke both came to court today to hear the charges against them being | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
dropped. How do you feel that went? You must be relieved. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
In 2012 they had been appointed as joint administrators of Rangers | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Football Club. Two years later they were arrested, held in a police cell | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
and taken to court. A statement was issued this afternoon from their | :02:38. | :02:38. | |
solicitors. The judge told Craig Whyte's defence | :02:39. | :03:11. | |
advocate that as there was only one man sitting in the dock, the next | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
time he appeared at court he wanted to be able to set a date for trial. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
To do that, he needed to know how the defence intended to argue their | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
case and how long they believed it would take. That next appearance | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
will be at the High Court in Glasgow at the end of July. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
The murder of toddler Liam Fee has once again turned the spotlight | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Today the Education Secretary said there would still be "atrocious | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
incidents" of child abuse in society but lessons must | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
John Swinney was speaking at a child protection summit in Perth | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
where he challenged experts to ensure they got things correct. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Here's our political correspondent Andrew Kerr. | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
case of a little boy loomed large over these social work experts. They | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
were not meeting because of Liam Fee's murder but his tragic story | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
focused minds on trying to improve child protection. There will be | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
atrocious incidents perpetrated, actually very rarely in our society, | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
and we have to learn lessons from those when they happen to try to | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
avoid them happening again. This week has seen intensive scrutiny of | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
child protection and the government's named person policy, as | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
an expert review into Liam Fee's death gets underway. Named person is | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
about providing a contact point for every child in Scotland, every | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
family, so that when they face difficulties they can rely on early | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
and swift access to the public services to address those issues. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
Promising plenty of support, John Swinney challenged experts to ask, | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
have we got this correct, after a difficult week. What is a tribute to | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
have we got this correct, after a social work practitioners is their | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
horror at what has happened with the murder of Liam Fee, the horror and | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
determination that they have to do better, to learn from this, and what | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
more can they do to support families and children lightly. But in the | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
dark auditorium, a glimmer of hope from one young man with a troubled | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
childhood and had turned his life around to become a successful actor. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
childhood and had turned his life When I am in schools and | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
communities, what I am seeing is real change in the people coming | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
from poverty and deprivation. I can see the change in the people. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Leading social workers, see the change in the people. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
pedestals, all say that tragic incidents will still happen but we | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
must try to have the best child protection laws possible. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
Unfortunately for the delegates at the conference here today, they are | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
having to learn lessons from some very sad cases. | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
Doctors say more people might survive devastating infections | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
and heart attacks if Scotland had more ECMO machines. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
They take over the work of the lungs, oxygenating | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
Specialists at a medical conference in Glasgow today have been told that | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Scottish patients often have to be sent to England or even abroad. | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
But our health correspondent Eleanor Bradford has met one man | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
who owes his life to an ECMO machine, | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
You know what, you certainly picked the right clothes for today. Brian | :06:19. | :06:34. | |
and his wife now enjoy every moment of life, knowing how easily it can | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
end. We were on holiday on the Isle of Chyla, and on the last day of the | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
holiday, I was feeling extremely unwell and it turned out it was a | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
massive heart attack. He was rushed to hospital on the mainland. It is a | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
crash and burn situation. His heart was not pumping. He had crashed and | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
was burning. He was put on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
ECMO, machine to keep him alive. It was vital that he would get fit | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
enough to undergo a heart transplant. It came to the point | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
where the doctors thought it was not happening so they introduced | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
palliative care. Medical opinion was that he was going to die, but then | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
something remarkable happened. I could see in him that he was going | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
to live. That was also the point when I said, we are going to get | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
married. They got married in intensive care. It was the best | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
thing he did, because following that, his kidneys recovered and | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
everything went back to normal, except his heart. He had a broken | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
heart. Love conquers almost all. Brian's heart was the one thing they | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
could fix. Within five weeks, he had a heart transplant. All of a sudden | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
there was hope and it would never have been there if the machines had | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
not existed, or if they had not decided to use them. This is why it | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
is so important to have the machines. This is why the conference | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
is such a great thing. There is nothing like these devices, devices | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
that transform a potentially fatal situation into a potential recovery. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
It is two and a half years since the transplant. It is fantastic. To be | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
still alive. Life is there to be treasured. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Why thousands of gardening enthusiasts are descending on the | :08:41. | :08:53. | |
Gorleston Showground near Edinburgh. We're in Paris with Andy Murray | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
who's looking forward to his first And as Gordon Strachan prepares to | :08:56. | :09:09. | |
face the Euro 2016 hosts, he talks of his hopes for the future. | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
Three weeks today we'll know whether the UK has decided to leave | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
But 41 years ago, the UK firmly endorsed continued | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
membership of what was then the European Economic Community. | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
Only Shetland and the Western Isles dissented, with the Western Isles | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
But in the decades since, EU policies have had a big impact | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
In the first of two special reports on the referendum, | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell, has been to | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
On the edge of the European Union, the Western Isles are a world away | :09:38. | :09:55. | |
from lawmaking in Edinburgh and London, never mind Brussels. But the | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
EU makes a big impact here. Harris Tweed sells well in Europe, and at | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
this mill they are worried that Tweed sells well in Europe, and at | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
unless the UK remains woven into the fabric of the EU, it may become | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
harder to access the single market. It is very easy for us to trade with | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
Europe in particular, and any constrictions or issues that might | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
affect that is a concern as a business and a major employer in the | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
Hebrides. The fishing industry also relies on free trade across the EU, | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
with much of what is landed here exported to France and Spain. But | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
some are so frustrated with EU- wide rules on who can catch what, they | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
are convinced the UK fleet would be better off out. Because they do not | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
listen to the fisherman, their needs. Somebody in Brussels is | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
making decisions that impact on this fragile livelihood in this fragile | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
economy on this island and the islands around. There is a good | :11:00. | :11:07. | |
Scots word to describe the way people reacted to the common market. | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
On the last referendum of continued membership of the European economic | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
community, the Western Isles and Shetland were the only UK regions to | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
say No. The vote here was 70-30 against, so this is one of only two | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
places in the country never to have endorsed the idea of European | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
integration. EU cash has helped to build roads, causeways and bridges, | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
linking the Outer Hebrides and making them farm or accessible. But | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
EU expansion into poorer regions of Eastern Europe means politicians | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
here are finding it harder to win development funding. Clearly, the | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
days of man from Europe have gone, in that sense. Everything is getting | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
more competitive, and where we were singled out to a degree in getting | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
more investment from Europe, that is no longer the case. EU farm payments | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
continue to make an important contribution to island economics. | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
The cash is the main reason this young man, making his living from | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
land and sea, wants to keep EU membership. Many fishermen, like | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
myself, are planning on voting out. But I come from a crofting heritage. | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
I have my land and you get a lot of EU subsidies which we might lose out | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
on. You cannot do that without the subsidies. No matter how little or | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
big, they help a lot of people. However the vote goes, it is as | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
clear as these Atlantic waters that the UK's future relationship with | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
the EU really matters here. One of Scotland's closest | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
neighbours, Norway, sits outside the EU and is often | :12:54. | :12:54. | |
cited as an example of how Stavanger, lying across the water | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
from Aberdeen, is the nearest This is one of the main reasons | :12:58. | :13:18. | |
Norwegians have rejected the European Union, not once, but twice. | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
Farming is an important industry, heavily subsidised, not by the EU | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
but by Norway's own government. Import tariffs mean that meat and | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
milk production is largely self-contained. This dairy farmer | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
believes his industry would collapse under EU membership. We need our | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
barriers to produce our own food. I get about 50p for each litre I | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
deliver to the dairy. That is much higher than the EU prices. Last time | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
there was a referendum here was in 1994 and the result was close. 52% | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
of people voted not to join. Since then, opposition has grown, and the | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
latest polls suggest 72% of the population, almost three quarters, | :14:15. | :14:15. | |
latest polls suggest 72% of the are against joining. | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
In many ways, Norway dances to the EU's tune, as a member of the | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
European economic area, having to work to many of the same | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
regulations. So this commentator says that their economy might | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
benefit from exit. Many people are not satisfied with our agreement | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
with the European economic area. If Britain can negotiate better terms | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
which could also apply to Norway, that would be interesting. Norway is | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
part of the Schengen area, allowing free movement of people across most | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
of its borders. In that respect, it is even more integrated than | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
Britain. Norway is used as an example of how the UK can operate | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
outside the EU. Is it a good example? Not at all. If you want to | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
go to a country that is not integrated, you should perhaps go to | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Moldova. They are not integrated at all. Norway and Switzerland both | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
incorporate all the rules and legislation from Brussels and both | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
countries have no say. In truth, there is little appetite here for | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
the EU question to be revived, that many are keeping a keen eye on what | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
is happening across the water. This weekend sees events in Orkney | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
to commemorate the 100th anniversary Having survived the Battle | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
of Jutland, the armoured cruiser was en route to Russia | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
with Secretary of State for War Lord Kitchener on board | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
when it struck a German mine His was the face that persuaded | :15:56. | :16:12. | |
thousands of British men to sign up and fight for their country but on | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
the 5th of June 1916 Lord Kitchener died when HMS Hampshire struck a | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
German mine in gale force wind less than two miles off the coast. They | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
had been en route to Archangel for secret talks with the Russians. In | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
1926, this memorial was unveiled on the high sea cliffs. Until now, the | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
only name commemorated was Lord Kitchener himself. You realise what | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
a magnificent place it is, and it seemed wrong that just one man's | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
name was on it. It is known as the Kitchener Memorial and mentions the | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
offices of men on HMS Hampshire, most of whom died. Those words did | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
not seem to capture the scale of the tragedy that happened. 737 men died | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
when the Hampshire was lost. This weekend, a commemorative wall will | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
be unveiled bearing all of their names, along with those of nine men | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
killed during nine -- minesweeping operations which followed. One of | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
those commemorated is a 38-year-old Stoker from the Isle of Wight, who | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
left behind a wife and seven children, pictured here. The | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
youngest child clutches his teddy. His daughter is in Orkney for the | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
weekend's events. I am sure they were all heartbroken, but I think | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
the worst part of it, apart from financial, which was bad, would have | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
been to know that he was buried so far away. And there was no | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
possibility that they would have been able to afford to come up at | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
any time. 100 years later, the Hampshire still lies as a war grave. | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
This Sunday, all of those lost will be remembered on the high sea cliffs | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
overlooking the site of the wreck. is and Let's get all the sport, | :17:57. | :18:07. | |
well done Andy Murray. Indeed, yes, another first for him | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
and Andy Murray has made it to the final of the French open tennis, | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
beating the defending champion Stan Wawrinka 3-1 in the semifinals, but | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
if he is to win his third grand slam title, he will have to beat the best | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
player in the world. Very little separates the world | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
number two from the world number four and defending champion. They | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
have both won two grand slam titles and had designs on a third. The | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
importance of holding serve was immediately underlined the first | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
time Andy Murray tried, even though it took five juices in ten minutes. | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
As if to prove the point, Murray struck in the next game, as both | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
players rose to the occasion with a place in the final at stake. With | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
the star of Titanic watching on, Wawrinka had that sinking feeling. | :19:01. | :19:09. | |
Especially when the Scot solidly sealed the set. Murray maximised his | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
momentum with another break of serve early in the second set. And when he | :19:14. | :19:22. | |
repeated the feat a few minutes later, the Scot was firmly in | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
control, unlike his Swiss opponent. He is sprinting back to his chair. | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
With a two set lead, Andy Murray must have felt he had one foot in | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
the final. Even on strictly, his mum couldn't have choreographed things | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
better. With his title hanging by a thread, time for the defending | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
champion to dig deep. If he was going to lose, it wouldn't be in | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
straight sets. How would Murray react to that disappointment? In the | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
best possible way, by breaking serve again right at the start of the | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
fourth. And when it came to the crunch, once again, Andy Murray | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
didn't disappoint. Another Murray milestone, his first | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
ever French Open final. He has just produced arguably his best ever | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
clay-court display to get there. He might need an even better one on | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
Sunday to beat the world number one Novak Djokovic in the final and be | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
the first British man to win here since 1935. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
Scotland's footballers are also in France, preparing to face the Euro | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
2016 posts, but only in a friendly. But the team manager is setting | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
himself a new target - to produce players of | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
match-winning brilliance. Alasdair Lamont caught up | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
with him at the team's The hangover from the defeat by | :20:38. | :20:47. | |
Italy is now but a memory. There is no time to feel sorry for yourself | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
in this job. These are the final training sessions after a long and | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
arduous season for most of those players, but there is no letup in | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
intensity as Gordon Strachan looks for an improved performance from his | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
players when it comes to playing France. Although Strachan has made | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
plans to combat a strong France team, he admits it may not be | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
enough. What you can't be ready for sometimes is sheer brilliance, | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
Payet's free kicks, Pogba with his goal recently was just phenomenal. | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
So we know the shape but what the players do with bad shape, there is | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
some real brilliance at times and that is what we would like to | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
produce in years to come. People know the shape but they can't deal | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
with the players. That may be some down -- somewhere down the line. For | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
now, it is up for this group to compete with France and then make | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
amends for not reaching the. I think the disappointment of the campaign | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
and how it finished drives on more than anything else and being back at | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
clubs with so many players go into the tournament, it has definitely | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
been a missed opportunity so that will drive us on. Scotland's first | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
chance to put that desire into action will be in September, when | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
Strachan brings the squad back to Malta for the first World Cup | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
qualifier. Before that, the chance to spoil France's final Euro 20 16th | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
preparations. -- 2016. Tonight the national | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
women's team can take a big step toward qualifying | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
for their European The Scots play Iceland at | :22:21. | :22:21. | |
the Falkirk Stadium in a qualifier. Both teams have won | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
all their group matches so far. They have the BBC's World Player | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
of the Year in their ranks. I have personally not played | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
Iceland, at any level. In the national team, I think the girls | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
played them a few years ago and won by a small margin, so I think it | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
will be a very tight game and a hard-fought contest, but we hope we | :22:46. | :22:47. | |
can come out on top. And you can watch the match | :22:48. | :22:48. | |
live on BBC Alba. I know which team you are | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
supporting... Thousands of gardening enthusiasts | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
have descended on the Ingliston showground near Edinburgh for this | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
year's Gardening Scotland festival. John McManus joined them on his | :23:00. | :23:11. | |
search -- their search for green fingered inspiration. | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
Door open for the Scottish gardening event of the year. Over three days, | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
thousands of green fingered visitors will look for inspiration from these | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
displays and amongst the plants and flowers, Gardening Scotland | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
continues to surprise. This show garden was conceived behind bars. | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
The theme for this garden is someone in a prison, in a dark place, you | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
don't know why it is all black and white and as you go through the | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
garden, it is like the flowers are coming into life and that is you | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
starting to find who you are and who you want to be. I have found working | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
with the garden has helped me so much with confidence and the way I | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
think. Also on display, the award-winning hive jive garden, | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
highlighting the valuable role a la pollinators play and how to | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
encourage them. With the idea for the central bed, from the image that | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
they used to indicate the dance, it is like a figure of eight, so the | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
bees go round and then wiggle of the middle and then go around and wiggle | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
up, and it is all to do the direction of the Sun and whether | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
pollinators, so they go off at the angle the bee is doing the than sad. | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
There are over 400 contributors, including special nurseries and | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
growers. Music to the ears of any dedicated gardener. For the first | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
time, there will also be a ladies Day on Saturday, and that is because | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
as an annual event, Gardening Scotland has to continue to be | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
innovative. Its success will be judged by its visitors. | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
Looking a wee bit cloudy in Ingliston, but what will the weather | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
be like there and elsewhere? You are smiling. I am, I am | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
delighted to tell you the weather is looking good over the weekend. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
Today, the west has fared best once again in terms of sunshine and | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
warmth, with some beautiful clear blue skies, thanks to one of our | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
weather watchers in Dumfries for this picture. Across much of the | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
northern parts of the east, it has been considerably cloudier and we | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
have seen some very heavy showers. This evening, these were clear away | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
towards the north-west and behind that, it is looking largely dry, | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
albeit fairly cloudy through central and southern Scotland, perhaps one | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
or two showers here. Clear spells further north than for some | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
sheltered rural areas, this will allow temperatures to fall to around | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
four or five Celsius, but for most, allow temperatures to fall to around | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
not a cold night. Fresh winds across the north-east, across the far north | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
coast, potentially strong at times in Shetland. Tomorrow, we start with | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
a lot of dry and bright weather in the north, boiling away cloud across | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
central and southern Scotland with a few showers, although they will fade | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
and the cloud cloud will melt away too. Taking a closer look tomorrow | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
afternoon, across southern Scotland, Central and eastern parts, plenty of | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
warm sunshine to come, temperatures peaking at 21, if not 22 Celsius. | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
Again, though, the Caithness coast, the Northern Isles, that bit more in | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
the way of cloud and a bit of a breeze coming in from the North Sea | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
making things feel chilly once again. Across much of the north-west | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
into the Argyll area, plenty of warm sunshine, 23 if not 24. That warmth | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
could trigger a few isolated showers tomorrow afternoon. If you are | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
heading hill walking and climbing, for the more northern ranges, it is | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
looking fine and dry, plenty of sunshine. Mild on the tops with | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
light winds and the risk of sunburn. Furthermore southern ranges, mostly | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
dry, some sunny intervals and just the odd shower and again, mostly | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
light winds smiled on the tops and the risk of sunburn. In the west, | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
the inshore waters, it is forced to, smoother seas and good visibility, | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
and in the east, a force for Ore Force five from the north-east, | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
smooth seas and good visibility. Any showers petering out and looking | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
warm with plenty of evening sunshine. Sunday, another lovely day | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
Celsius and a few isolated showers. Celsius and a few isolated showers. | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
-- highs of 24. Sunday, some isolated showers but equally some | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
sunshine and warmth. That is reporting Scotland, I will | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
be back with headlines at 8pm and the late bulleting just after the | :27:42. | :27:43. | |
Ten O'Clock News. | :27:44. | :27:44. |
