Dame Kelly Holmes and aim Piedt jowl in the studio. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
A surgeon at one of Scotland's busiest hospitals says plans to move | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
key services will put patients at risk. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
People attending Monklands Hospital's A will have to go | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
elsewhere for some emergency treatments if local health board | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Our political correspondent Lucy Adams reports. | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
It's the hospital the current government fought to save. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
It is this government's view that the decisions to close A | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
at Monklands in Ayr were wrong and they will now be reversed. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
The hospital that the former Health Secretary almost lost his job over. | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
NHS Lanarkshire are having a meeting this Thursday... | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
And it is the hospital patients have pledged to save. | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
Now, though, there is anger as campaigners say | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
the Scottish Government is backsliding on earlier pledges | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
with moves afoot to cut orthopaedics and trauma, | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
Those plans are also opposed by the consultants themselves, | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
Patients' safety will be put at risk by their decision | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
If you have an A department, you must have an orthopaedic | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
You cannot have just an A department and expect all | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
At a meeting today between staff and the local MSP Alex Neil, | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
Mr Neil stood on a ticket to save services and is under | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
I'm absolutely determined, as I know Shona Robison, | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
the Health Minister is, determined to make sure there is no | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
downgrading of Monklands, no downgrading of the Accident | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
The health board argue that is not what they are doing, | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
but as I say, there are too many unanswered questions for this to go | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
The Scottish Government say they saved the A department | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
We are confident, as are the medical royal colleges, that | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
safety will be improved, quality will be improved | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
Change is hard, change is not always universally accepted. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
But we believe that orthopaedic care in NHS Lanarkshire will be improved | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
Another series of strikes by ScotRail workers planned to begin | :02:25. | :02:36. | |
at the weekend has been suspended to allow for further talks. | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
Members of the RMT union had been due to take part in three 48-hour | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
walkouts in a row over who opens and closes the train doors, | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
but have agreed to hold off taking more action for the time being. | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
We have not received guarantees about the guard remaining | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
The outstanding issue for us is the doors, | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
That's an issue that we need to have further discussion with ScotRail | :03:01. | :03:12. | |
in order to find a way forward on the train dispatch, the doors. | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
Today's suspension of strike action is very welcome for all of us. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
After several weeks of hard work, we're not there yet, | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
a lot of hard work still to do, but a great step forward. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
It was always about our customers and our people. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
And I think it's a good sign for what we can agree. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
The Bank of Scotland is closing 23 branches across the country. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
It says the move is a result of falling customer demand | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
and because of overlaps with other nearby branches. | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
Closures will take place in the Highlands, the North East, | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Tayside, the Central Belt and the Borders. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
The Glasgow-based firm Aggreko has reported a fall in profits | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
It made ?61 million compared to ?102 million in the same | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
The firm says the trading environment has been difficult, | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
with the lower oil price continuing to impact a number of its markets. | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
The bus driver who drove into floods which resulted in everyone on board | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
having to be rescued by helicopter, has escaped a driving ban. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Tudor Davies had faced a dangerous driving charge but after a trial | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
at Ayr Sheriff Court he was convicted of the lesser | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
He has already been dismissed by the Stagecoach bus company. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
A rescue helicopter hovering over a bus stranded | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
The number 58 bus was on its way from Girvan to Ayr on 30th December | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
last year as Storm Frank raged all around Ayrshire. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
The driver, Tudor Davies, told the court when he got | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
to the outskirts of the village of Dailly there was already 4-5 | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
He stopped to assess the situation and decided to press on. | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
Mr Davies said 10-15 yards later, when he was around here, | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
the force of the water knocked down this wall producing an enormous | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
surge of floodwater, which picked the bus up, | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
took it across the road and slammed it into those trees, breaking | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
These pictures taken inside the bus show how quickly the | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
Moments after these were taken, the 12 passengers on board, | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
including two children, headed to the back of the bus | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
and climbed on seats and grabbed bars to try to keep | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
as much as possible out of the filthy floodwater. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Attempts by the Fire Service to rescue them were abandoned due | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
to the ferocity of the water, and it was hours later before | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
The sheriff today acknowledged that this was a traumatic event | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
for the passengers on the bus and for the driver. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
In fact, she said some of the passengers who had | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
come to give evidence were still traumatised. | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
But she said the danger of the wall collapsing was not obvious | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
to Mr Davies at the time, and so she could not convict him | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
of dangerous driving, instead she convicted him | :06:04. | :06:04. | |
She imposed nine penalty points on his licence and fined him ?2000. | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
That decision to drive forward, the sheriff said, was | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Aileen Clarke, Reporting Scotland, Dailly. | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
An Australian family living in the Highlands say they're | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
still hopeful of being allowed to stay, despite a letter | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
from the Home Office warning that official moves are now being made | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
The Brain family moved to Scotland under a visa system that has | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
since been abolished, but as Craig Anderson reports, | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
they're pinning their hopes on a job offer. | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
It's a letter the Brain family hoped they would never see... | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
From Immigration Minister Robert Goodwill, it says there are no | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
exceptional circumstances and that staff will contact the couple | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
later this week to discuss arrangements for their voluntary | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
The visa scheme they came here under was done away with once they had | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
committed to emigrate to Scotland and they insist they are not | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
pleading for special treatment, just for the Government | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
All of our home and worldly goods were on a shipping container halfway | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
across to Scotland when this apparent announcement came out | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
saying they would be cancelling this visa option 12 months | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
By then we were fully committed to the process. | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
So we're not asking for special treatment, we're just asking | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
the Government to honour what they put in the | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
The couple's MP argues that unlike many people hoping to gain | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
residency in the UK, the Brains are in a unique situation | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
and the Home Office is guilty of bad faith in their dealings with them. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
The Government in London should do what is right and being asked | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
of them, it's not about a special case, it is giving Kathryn | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
the rights she should have, and making sure the family | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
We need young families in the Highlands, why on earth | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
would the Government want to throw them out? | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
Is disgraceful and shouldn't be allowed to happen. | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
It was Kathryn Brain's student visa that initially allowed | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
the family to come here, and the one hope they now have | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
is that even while the Home Office's deportation wheels are turning, | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
that she receives the offer of a job that meets immigration requirements. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
We've had a contact from a major Scottish employer this morning. | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
Or at least from the office, the CEO will call us this afternoon. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
We don't know what the job offer is, we don't know whether it | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
The fact it comes from a major company, we would like to think | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
they would be able to inform themselves of the requirements | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
and it gives us some cause for cautious optimism. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
But for now, living on charity and with their belongings | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
in a shipping container, the future path for the Brain | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
Craig Anderson, Reporting Scotland, Dingwall. | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
Celtic are through to the Champions League play-off | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
round after beating Astana 2-1 at Parkhead to secure | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
A Leigh Griffiths penalty put Celtic in front at the end | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Astana levelled it before Moussa Dembele also scored | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
from the penalty spot in stoppage time, his first goal for the club, | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
Andy Murray will be Great Britain's flag bearer at the Olympic Games | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
He follows in the footsteps of Olympic cycle champion | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Sir Chris Hoy, who paraded the flag at London 2012. | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
And Sir Chris has been telling Kheredine Idessane how impressed | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
he is with the number of Scots in Team GB. | :09:24. | :09:39. | |
Fantastic. Great reflection on the commitment and hard work that the | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
Scottish athletes have put in to get to the stage. In terms of ones to | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
look forward to seeing. I think Skinner has to be the top of the | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
list. I saw him at Meadowbank as a child, training to ride the track | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
there. He has progressed right through and he has replaced the end | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
of the Team Sprint. He will be writing the third lap. You are a fan | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
of Andy Murray, he is the defending champion and playing doubles with | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
his big brother. Exceptional. They could get two gold medals at the end | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
of the championships. He has had a fantastic year so far. Morality big | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
part of sport, once you have the momentum and the belief going in | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
yourself, and with the form, you can almost do anything. They would be | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
crazy to bet against him winning a second title here. Who knows about | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
the doubles, that would be amazing for both Andy Murray and Jamie | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
Murray. He is a real figurehead. Two things have dominated the build-up | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
to these Olympics, one has been drugs, the other has been well the | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
city be ready. Many viewers sadly I believe wonder, can I trust what I | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
am watching, can I believe these Olympics or is everyone on | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
something? What is your take on that? I can understand why some of | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
the public might think that. Certainly, as a fan spot myself, | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
there are huge number of depressing headlines coming out recently. All | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
you can do is talk about your own experiences. You won six Olympic | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
gold medals clean. Your messages what? It is purely and simply that | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
it is possible to do it the right way. | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
Well, it's over to Kawser now with the weather outlook | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
Some of us some heavy this evening. Although it remained mild and breezy | :11:24. | :11:41. | |
it is this area of low pressure that brought those heavy downpours. Some | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
were stunned as well. While the centre of the low pressure as light | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
winds and variable winds, around then it is quite strong, especially | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
towards the South West of Scotland and the South of England and also | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
across the North East of Scotland, strong winds here. Rain for a time | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
that becoming drier across the central areas and clear spells will | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
develop as well. Temperatures around 14 15 degrees. Mild like last night. | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
For tomorrow morning, it is rather cloudy to start and some showers | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
across the far North and North East of the country. At eight o'clock if | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
you're heading out then, largely dry across the South West, some showers | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
along the East coast with temperatures widely around 14 or 15 | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Celsius. Towards the far North and the Western Isles, breezy but our | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
beaks of showery rain for the Northern Isles. For the rest of the | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
day, every look at the rest of the UK, we will continue to see some | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
showers for a time. Gradually improving, some brightness | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
developing, sunny spells, along the West cost of Scotland and elsewhere | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
people see some brighter spells. Temperatures around 17, up to 22 | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
degrees for the South East of England. Although temperatures are | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
similar to today, temperatures will be fresher with the wind having an | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
effect. Tomorrow night and into Friday, we developed this thread of | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
high-pressure Soubry will start to see some drier and brighter weather. | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
high-pressure Soubry will start to Friday morning begins sunny with | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
showers around. The showers will be widespread across the West coast of | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, the far North of Scotland as well. | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
Elsewhere, drier, the best of the sunshine towards the East. | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Temperatures around 16 up. Fresher on Friday with that went. -- wind. | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Our next update is during Breakfast at 6:25am tomorrow morning. | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
But, from everyone on the late team here in Glasgow and around | :13:33. | :13:34. |
