The child was playing here on Friday afternoon on one of the cycle paths

when she was assaulted. The police said that was around about 1:30pm.

It was a sunny day, so there may well have been lots of people around

who have some information. The police say they are now confident

that the child was indecently assaulted. They have released a

description of a suspect, described as being a white male of high school

age with Hazel brown hair swept forward. At the time of the attack,

he was wearing dark trousers and a blue T-shirt with white writing on

it. He also had a temporary that two on one of his hands, and a blue and

black rucksack. The police say this is an incredibly rare incident, but

nonetheless a worrying one, so while bearing Quire are continuing, there

is a highly visible police presence in South Queensferry.

Edinburgh airport is consulting on plans for new flight paths after a

trial last year was cut short when residents complained about noise

levels. The airport, Scotland's busiest, also wants to expand the

number of flights. Here is Lisa Summers. It's rush hour above, so

what is it like living in the flight path? It is noisy, but you have to

stop talking when the plane is going over, or you can't make anything

out. Airspace above Edinburgh hasn't changed since 1970. Back then, 1

million people use the airport, now aged 11 million. The airport wants

to increase capacity even further, and that is why it has launched a

major consultation into expanding its flight path routes. Expect

major consultation into expanding adverts online and information

through the letterbox. It is from up here in the control tower that

traffic is directed in and out of the airport. At the moment, they can

handle one departure every two minutes, but they want to increase

that to one minute. 70% of the time, planes take off to the west, flying

over West Lothian. The consultation fans at the possible alternative air

space use. 30% take-off to the east, and again the consultation is

looking at the most viable routes over the further four. The airport

says that expansion is vital. The benefits are for the whole country.

We need to be connected, we are and island nation that relies upon

international trade and inbound travel. Let's make sure we have the

best chance of being successful. But a trial last year had to be cut

short because of complaints about noise levels. Those affected say

they still here and see up to 70 aircraft today overhead. That is

grossly unfair to do that to anybody. I have great sympathy for

anyone who is overflowing, but we bought our home for the peace and

tranquillity, which has now been stolen from us by the actions of

Edinburgh airport. The airport insisted is not set on any route at

this point, but wants to canvass views in the first phase. It says

any changes will not come into effect until 2018.

Police say they're looking for three men in connection with what they're

describing as a targeted attack on the outskirts of Glasgow

Two vans set on fire after one, which had been stolen, was

deliberately crashed into the other. Men who had been in the parked

transit were chased and attacked by a group who had arrived in the

stolen vehicle. Three men were assaulted with bladed instruments,

and at some stage during this incident, the two vans were set on

fire. The three men responsible for attacking the three victims then we

believe left into vehicles, a black Ford vehicle and a light coloured

saloon vehicle. There is a smell of diesel and bird tarmac in the air,

the pavement at the age of the road scorched by the intensity of the

flames yesterday afternoon. What happened here has left local people

shocked and appalled. This is normally a quiet residential street.

Very surprised and shocked, it is a very quiet suburb of Glasgow, we

wouldn't expect something like that to happen. Yesterday afternoon, huge

response by the emergency services. Forensic officers collecting

evidence, and eyewitnesses questioned about the attack, which

had happened on a sunny Sunday afternoon on a North Lanarkshire

housing scheme. Police Scotland will not tolerate this kind of behaviour,

whether on a sunny Sunday afternoon or any other time, and we will keep

a high patrol with uniformed and plainclothes officers for the

foreseeable future. Police say the attack was targeted, and members of

the public could easily have been caught up in it. Two victims have

now been released from hospital and one who is still being treated in as

a stable condition. Almost a third of the UK's oil

and gas companies are planning more job cuts as the oil price takes

longer to recover than expected. A Bank of Scotland report says

almost two thirds of Scottish businesses say they've been

"severely" or "quite The stabilisation of the oil price

and the cuts that have already been taken and further efficiency gains

being sought should hopefully start to see that position come around and

more investment decisions coming back, and hopefully present an

industry that is much more resilient going forward.

The first ever Scottish survey of cancer care suggests that,

whilst the majority of people are happy with their treatment,

many feel they're still not given enough support.

Our health correspondent Eleanor Bradford reports.

Lawro is not even 30, and already she has had cancer twice and watched

her father died from it. So she is something of an expert on being a

cancer patient. Her care has always been excellent, but she had to go

searching for support. At the beginning, you're too busy thinking,

I need to get better, and towards the end, you are like, what has

I need to get better, and towards happened to me? And you start to get

upset because you haven't realised how much of a fight that you have

had for maybe six months, and it has been tough. When it comes to cancer

care in Scotland, most people say they had a good experience. But

whilst the NHS does well at the clinical stuff, it is the emotional

side where it seems to fall down. One in five said they were given no

information on support groups. Nearly half were given no

information on financial help benefits. And a similar number

side-effect even after their treated side-effect even after their treated

-- treatment had ended. The first administered Mitch this isn't rocket

science. Some of this isn't about resources but how people work, and

often a busy clinician will not be deliberately not taking time to ask

someone how they are feeling, it is just about trying to focus on the

importance of the treatment. Everyone with cancer is supposed to

have a care plan to make sure all their needs are met. Those with a

care plan had a much better experience, but only one in five

have one. Everybody that had one of those scored more positively in

every single question in that survey, so we absolutely need to

make sure that that becomes part and parcel of everybody's cancer care.

It is a constant battle to provide the latest treatment, the latest

jobs, enough staff. But this survey suggests there are simple ways in

which cancer care can be transformed, by seeing each patient

as a person, not merely a number. A machine to lay railway line,

invented and patented by twin brothers from Ayrshire,

is set to revolutionise They are the unlikely directors of a

multi-million pound company. Twins Billy and Danny McCulloch left

school with no qualifications, and turned initially to Laurie driving

and farm work. But Billy turned out to be a born inventor. Employed

wants to clear trees from the side of a runway, he designed a machine

to do it better. The same thing happened when he saw Railtrack being

laid by gangs of men by hand. He came up with this, the track rail

transpose. It is the only such machine of capable working on single

line railways, because it doesn't require another one alongside to run

on. That makes it uniquely suitable for the cramped New York subway. In

New York, 300 feet length of robbery like this was taking 50 men one day

to lay. The McCulloch track rail transpose can do twice that length

in six minutes, using only to men. Not that the Americans knew that

until Billy interrupted a family holiday and knocked on the door to

tell them. It led to a trial, and eventually, a contract. It was 1904

when the role where was built in New York, and last Friday night,

McCulloch rail made history with recognising the way they lead a

railing. It is one of those moments that you think, the schoolteachers

were wrong about me! It Israeli good for us to take this thing to the

world, to show people how to do it. It was beyond belief. It was just me

and Billy, the two of us, we worked out of a shed at my father's

property. We were working at a farm, and then I was a gardener, and to

come to this suddenly, I can't put into words. In New York, they call

it the Critter, and interest has spread, they have already had

requests from Boston and long island, with more to follow.

Well, It's over to Kirsteen now with the weather outlook

Good evening. It will be dry with clear spells overnight tonight, some

Good evening. It will be dry with fog in coastal areas, otherwise dry

tomorrow, bright sunny spells, but as we go through the day, we will

see some really quite heavy and thundery showers developing, and

that has prompted the Met Office to thundery showers developing, and

issue a yellow Bia where warning. Some locally torrential downpours

which could well lead to some localised flooding and hazardous

driving conditions. At this stage, we anticipate the main focus of the

showers will be across the borders and through parts of the central

belt, perhaps into Wester Ross. A lot of dry weather, plenty of warm

sunshine out with the showers, and we are expecting the Northern

Ireland is and north-eastern coastal areas to remain dry. Plenty of once

other than the extreme east coat, which may just see some mist and low

cloud lingering, suppressing the temperature considerably. Across the

rest of the UK, dry and bright, warm once again, and with temperatures

rest of the UK, dry and bright, warm rising, we will see some

thunderstorms here, too, fairly hit and miss, although if you are caught

underneath one, you will certainly know about it. As we head into the

evening across Scotland, heavy thundery showers staying with us for

a time, and only very gradually easing as we head into tomorrow

night. It then becomes dry, albeit with a fair amount of cloud around.

Wednesday starts on a fairly cloudy note across much of the UK. As we go

through the day, we should see some brightness and sunshine developing,

again fairly warm, and that will trigger a few showers, although not

as widespread or heavy as we will see

Our next update is during Breakfast at six twenty five tomorrow morning.

But, from everyone on the late team here - goodnight.
