England and Wales to segregate the most dangerous Islamist prisoners. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Built with private money and closed on safety grounds, | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
now a BBC investigation finds that many Scottish schools are owned | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
There are an awful lot of people making very substantial sums of | :00:14. | :00:26. | |
money out of it, which have got nothing to do with, and are of no | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
benefit to Edinburgh schools. Also on the programme, salvage | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
engineers prepare to try to refloat the oil rig which ran aground | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
on the the Isle of Lewis. The leader of Scottish Labour says | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
she's not supporting Jeremy Corbyn because he can't unite the party | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
or win a general election. As Team GB heads home from Rio, | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
we assess the success of Scottish And - he's climbing | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
the pecking order. We find out why Edinburgh Zoo's | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
best-known penguin has been promoted to the rank of Brigadier | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
in the Norwegian army. More than 200 schools built | :00:56. | :01:13. | |
in Scotland under private finance initiatives - or PFI schemes - | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
are now at least partially owned by offshore investment funds, | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
a BBC investigation has found. Parts of the projects can be traded | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
in financial markets, like the 17 Edinburgh schools that | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
closed earlier this year Our reporter Fiona Walker | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
can tell us more. The inquiry into why the 17 schools | :01:32. | :01:42. | |
in Edinburgh were found But in investigating why | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
the defects happened... This is Oxgangs Primary | :01:45. | :01:56. | |
when the wall collapsed. The BBC also looked at | :01:57. | :01:57. | |
the role of PFI - the private finance initiative which enabled | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
the schools to be built. A private company called | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
the Edinburgh Schools Partnership. Well, it's been a shifting | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
cast of characters - the original companies involved have | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
sold their stakes. Parts of their original stakes have | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
been bought and sold 13 times on financial markets, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
which has made those So the partnership is now made | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
up of four companies - investment funds - | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
and they are based offshore. But the Edinburgh project | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
isn't the only one. There are over 300 PFI | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
schools across Scotland. New research shows that 270 schools, | :02:37. | :02:53. | |
the vast majority, are at least partially owned offshore in | :02:54. | :02:53. | |
investment funds. These funds are regarded | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
as attractive investments - This PFI analyst and critic says | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
the profits extracted by investors are being put | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
before children's education. The whole PFI machine is really a | :03:04. | :03:17. | |
profit machine, a wealth machine, and there are an awful lot of people | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
making very substantial sums of money out of it, which have got | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
nothing to do with, and are of no benefit to Edinburgh's schools. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
So critics argue excess profits and lack of accountability are not | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
in the best interests of the children. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
But Edinburgh City Council, for one, doesn't necessarily agree. | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
As long as we have a contractual relationship that has a contract to | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
do the right things by the schools, and that the pupils are in good | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
schools, safe and are in good condition, that is something we | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
decided ten or 15 years ago, and our job is to make sure that contract | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
goes on as well as it can. That inquiry into the Edinburgh | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Schools failures is due in December and is expected to have national, | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
political and policy implications. And if you want to hear | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
more on that story - BBC Scotland Investigates: | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
How Safe is My School? is on BBC One Scotland | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
tonight at 7pm. The Isle of Lewis is tonight hoping | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
to lose what's become a striking Two weeks after the drilling rig | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
the Transocean Winner was blown ashore during a storm, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
workers plan to float it free on Our reporter Angus Macdonald | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
is at the scene. How high are hopes | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
that it can be done? Very high indeed. A lot of work has | :04:33. | :04:48. | |
gone into the effort over the last couple of weeks. Men have moved onto | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
the island, researchers have moved onto the island. We have to that you | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
can see behind me already hooked up to the rig. Whole lot of work and | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
effort has gone into it. Calculations have been made on how | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
much it would take for this monster to float away. It is not just on | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
this side of the island we have seen work today. There have been | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
preparations coming on to receive the rig once it has been floated | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
off. On the east side of Lewis, an anchorage for the rig is being | :05:27. | :05:35. | |
prepared. Two tugs are headed -- hooked up. Pontoons under the rigs | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
have been placed, and preparations have continued to ensure that the | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
rig will float. We have 16 tanks pressurised. Two of the tanks | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
yesterday we had difficulty with, getting the right level of pressure. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
A lot of work has been done, and we have confidence that there will be | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
enough buoyancy to do the operation tonight. There is a chance the Red | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
Bull float before the high water tonight. There is a chance the Red | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
mark at 10:30pm. Then the painstaking voyage to broad-based on | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
mark at 10:30pm. Then the the East Coast of Lewis will start. | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
We will need to make sure everything is stable. We will need to make sure | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
everything is upright, by shifting balance around the rig itself. We | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
then have a passage plan. The rig will go round the coastline, | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
approximately five miles offshore, with the two tugs towing it. It | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
could be anything at between around 18 and 23 hours. A number of | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
sightseers have gathered to say goodbye to the unexpected visitors, | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
before a safe anchorage is found on the other side of the island. Thank | :06:56. | :06:56. | |
you. You're watching Reporting | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
programme: Children's theatre goes on the | :07:01. | :07:01. | |
road, and into the classroom. What happens when the leader | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
of the Labour Party in Scotland says the leader of the UK party couldn't | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
win a general election? Could it mean more division | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
and uncertainty for an already Kezia Dugdale has said she will back | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Owen Smith in his leadership Our poiltical correspondent, | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Nick Eardly, reports. The Scottish Labour leader and her | :07:23. | :07:36. | |
UK counterpart in better times. Kezia Dugdale had said Jeremy | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
Corbyn's election at Labour leader marked a fresh start. Not now. She | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
thinks this man is in a better position to unite the party and win | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
thinks this man is in a better a general election. I think Owen | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
Smith represents the best combination of radical policies, | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
combined with a credible plan of how to achieve it. I came into politics | :07:59. | :08:09. | |
to see a Labour government deliver a fairer and more equal United | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Kingdom. That isn't a view shared by everyone in Scottish Labour. Most | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
local parties who backed the candidate are behind Jeremy Corbyn. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
His supporters thinks he has the backing of most members here. Jeremy | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
offers the alternative that the country needs to have. It is looking | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
good at the moment, from indications like canvassing and local meetings. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
He is doing very well. Who are some of the key players backing? Mr Smith | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
has the support of Scotland's only Labour MP, Ian Murray. The decision | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
was criticised by Kezia Dugdale's elected deputy. He said plotters | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
were putting self interest first. And the new Shadow Scottish | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
Secretary says Kezia Dugdale needs to get behind Mr Corbyn if he wins | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
again. Dave Anderson does not speak for the Scottish Labour Party, | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
author Jeremy Corbyn either, on the issue of the Progressive Alliance of | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
the SNP. I work with Jeremy Corbyn all the time. We are both grown-ups. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
It is possible to have a free and frank debate and come to a different | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
conclusion on an issue like this, and still work together. We will | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
hear more from these two men and what they are offering Scots when | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
they visit Glasgow on Thursday. Nick, where does it leave | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Kezia Dugdale if Jeremy Corbyn wins? Some believe the Scottish Labour | :09:33. | :09:44. | |
leader shouldn't have publicly endorsed the candidate in this race. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
They say she will have to work with whoever wins, and if it is Jeremy | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
Corbyn, the relationship could be made more difficult by her comments. | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
Kezia Dugdale says this race is so important that she couldn't just sit | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
by and not give her opinion. There was some suggestion that she is | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
prepared to work with Mr Corbyn again in the future, that there are | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
splitting the party both here in Scotland and the UK. One of the key | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
challenges for the new UK leader, and for Ms Dugdale, will be to try | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
and heal some of those wounds. It is unlikely to be an easy task. Thank | :10:23. | :10:23. | |
you. The headteacher of a young boy | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
who died, along with his mother, after being swept out to sea | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
in Aberdeen has described him Six-year-old Lucas Walker | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
was playing on the beach on Saturday His mother Julie, who tried | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
to save him, also died. The youngster's 13-year-old brother | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Samuel, who also went to their rescue, is said | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
to be recovering well. A lecturer has admitting | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
killing his wife after wrongly believing he was not the father | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
of their two children. Robert Kerr stabbed Shin Shiin Liu | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
at their home in Newton Mearns, He was originally charged | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
with murder, but the Crown accepted his plea of culpable | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
homicide on the grounds of diminished responsibility, | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
after it emerged he suffered "an abnormality of the mind" | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
at the time of the attack. Do you have Olympics | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
withdrawal symptoms yet? Are you missing televised dressage | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
and athletics every night - Team GB's athletes are on the way | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
home, but our reporter, Jane Lewis, is still in Rio, holding | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
on to the Olympic spirit. I would imagine so, for many, | :11:21. | :11:41. | |
especially those who have medals. I imagine the flight home will be very | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
pleasant indeed, and I'm sure they can't wait to get home to show off | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
their gold, silver and bronze medals. These Olympics were | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
phenomenally successful from a Team GB point of view. They won 67 medals | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
and finished second top of the table, behind America and in front | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
of China. These games were successful from a sporting | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
achievement, to be honest, because if you look at some of the world and | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
Olympic records that were broken, it was almost 100 of them. Sporting | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
success in many venues across Rio. Athletes played their part in | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
helping Team GB to that historic medal tally from Scotland. 13 | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
Scottish medals were won in Rio, their best performance in an away | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
Olympics from a Scottish point of view, equalling their best | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
performance in any Olympics. The final night of athletics at the | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
Olympic Stadium, and a perfect way to end a special games for the Scots | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
competing as part of Team GB in Rio. It was nice to be in that group that | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
had done so well. There was a lot of morale in the team, and everybody | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
supporting each other, and it was great to be part of it. I think | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
that's why we had so much success. In all, Scottish athletes won 13 | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
medals in Rio, four Gold, seven silver and two bronze across eight | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
sports. This is my fourth Olympics now, and I think this is the best | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
ever performance I have seen by Scottish athletes. It helps that we | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
have Andy Murray, who is our Usain Bolt, but he delivered on his gold | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
medal. We have had so many spectacular successes. It has been a | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
games to remember. Andy Murray is the double Olympic gold medallist. | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
Andy Murray's gold was an incredible personal achievement, and a 12 medal | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
won by a Scot for Team GB at these games. Scottish success started in | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
the pool. Day five and a relay silver. Three Scots on the podium. | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
Significant medals also came our way... Silver for Katherine | :14:05. | :14:14. | |
Grainger, her fifth Olympic medal. If you crack it, you would have a | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
special performance. We said the day before that we believed there was | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
something special we could do. And before that we believed there was | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
it came. There was another gold for Heather Stanning. They are fearless, | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
they are history makers! She defended her Olympic title. And on | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
their Olympic debuts, there was brilliant in the velodrome, and two | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
more golds. I got home late last night, and Jo's name was -- light | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
was on in her room, and she was awake with her medal lying next to | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
her on her bed! There was a Scottish disappointment too. Hannah Miley | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
came close, and Lauren Muir gave it her all, but it wasn't quite enough. | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
But there was also promising signs for the future. | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
Plenty of Scottish success of their on evidence here at Rio. The big | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
question is how we hold onto that and build upon it for the next major | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
events on the horizon, the Commonwealth Games only two years | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
away, and then the next Olympics in Tokyo in four years' time. There are | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
world champions and European champions in between, so the likes | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
of Sport Scotland and other sporting governing bodies that try to hone | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
these athletes have their work cut out. They do not just plan for one | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
Olympics at a time. This is a long-term plan, maybe even going | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
back ten or 20 years. They know what they have to do, and they know they | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
want to continue making Scottish athletes at the heartbeat of British | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
success. How did we hope a form? There were questions over its | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
abilities to host the games? Where were a lot of concerns before the | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
abilities to host the games? Where games. The Zika virus was talked | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
about. Was the transport up to scratch, and where the venues ready? | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
There were talks of political unrest in the city, and many locals said | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
they didn't want the games, and there were going to be a lot of | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
protests. I think that those pregames issues, once the games were | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
in full flow, they faded into the background, and as many of us | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
expected, the sport became the main focus. From that point of view, Rio | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
did deliver. You look at the backdrop here, there have been | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
plenty of other stunning backdrops as well. These games will be | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
remembered for a long time to come as being very special indeed. Thank | :17:05. | :17:05. | |
you very much. Football fans still have the World | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
Cup to look forward to, and the Scotland manager, | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
Gordon Strachan, says "now is the time" | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
for his young talent to shine. He's named his squad | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
for the first of the qualifiers That game's against Malta | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
in two weeks' time. Good afternoon, I'm great, very | :17:20. | :17:35. | |
good. The Scotland manager in good fettle as a new campaign approaches | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
and with its new blood. Callum Paterson, keirin Tierney, John | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
McGinn and Barry Mackay each have just one cap. Oliver Bekker Steven | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
but all could play a role as Scotland begin their quest to reach | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
Russia 2018. Now is the time. They have proved to us on and off the | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
pitch that we can rely on them to trust them. We hope over the next | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
year that they will progress at their clubs and that will help us | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
out. Those options were among a number of issues for Strachan to | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
address with the media today. Some offer greater cause for optimism | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
than others. Great options at left-back with Robinson and Tierney, | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
but the same cannot be said of central defence or right back. A | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
lack of a robust defender is an issue. I would say in the middle of | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
the park with Scott Brown retiring and James McArthur still being | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
unfit, that is an issue as well. Gordon Strachan wants the driving | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
energy that Brown gave him, that is an issue he has to address, physical | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
momentum in the middle of the park. It is not often we go into a | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
qualifying campaign with a strike in such terrific form as Leigh | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
Griffiths, so that is a real bonus for Gordon Strachan to have. Perhaps | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
the one worried that the Tartan Army is Ross McCormack not being there. | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
No McCormack and no Shaun Maloney either, the Hull City player was | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Scotland's top scorer in the last campaign but according to Strachan | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
hasn't played enough recently to make the squad. It may not be his | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
time, then, but this time would be a good time to wash away memories of | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
nine consecutive failed qualifying campaigns. | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
A look at other stories from across the country. | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
The completion of a new children's hospital in Edinburgh is to be | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
delayed after two construction firms in the build went bust. ?150 million | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
Royal hospital for sick children was due to open next autumn but NHS | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
Lothian says it will now be delayed until the spring of 2018. The firms | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
involved were Dunne group and JB brick work. Some of Scotland's | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
biggest local authorities are turning to take legal action against | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
the government. The four including Glasgow and Aberdeen are angry they | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
will not being colluded in final negotiations for next year's funding | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
deal. The government says it only negotiates with the local government | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
body, which these local authorities chose to leave, but the government | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
says it will still consult with them. A small earthquake has been | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
detected on the Isle of Mull in Argyll. The British Geological | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
Survey recorded the 1.9 magnitude tremor at just after half past one | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
on Friday afternoon. The epicentre was towards the south of the island. | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
A summit has been held in Dunphy is to examine the key transport issues | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
facing the South of Scotland. The transport minister has been urged to | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
invest in the region's Road and rail links to boost the economy. | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
Transport emerged as the major local issue during the election campaign. | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
Upgrading the a 75 is seen as a priority. Wildlife experts have | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
expressed concern that some of Scotland's best-known butterflies | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
have failed to make an appearance this summer. Mid August is supposed | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
to be peak season for species like a peacock, small tortoiseshell and | :21:03. | :21:03. | |
to be peak season for species like a collar, but sightings have been | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
rare. Conservationists say wet weather may be to blame. | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
They are shows that have been around the world, | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
but now school children will get a chance will get to see them | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
A new project involving children's theatre makers and | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
the National Theatre of Scotland is aiming to take the theatre | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
Our arts correspondent, Pauline McLean, reports. | :21:22. | :21:30. | |
Hey, handsome, I'm home! for shoes is an award-winning piece | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
of children's Theatre. It has already toured North America, | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
Ireland and Germany, but this performance in an Edinburgh primary | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
Ireland and Germany, but this school is one of the most important | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
to date. We in Scotland produced some of the best theatre for | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
children and young audiences in the world, and that is not just me | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
saying that, it is the truth, it is recognised. But I want to see is | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
more children in Scotland seeing that world-class work that is made | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
here in Scotland, all across the country. And these shoes are made | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
for walking. This is one of two plays that have been touring in 22 | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
local authority areas will stop some like Edinburgh may have plenty of | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
Theatre on their doorstep, but bringing it into the school is | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
important. Having the opportunity to have high-quality drama productions | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
in school, it just opens up all possibilities for learning in the | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
classroom, and it helps us to tackle themes that might otherwise be ready | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
difficult. For others, it will be the first experience of theatre, so | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
it is important they are equipped from the start. It was a fantastic | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
show, I really enjoyed it, and probably my favourite bit was when | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
Sean stepped in the pool, because he had really nice Nike trainers on and | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
he stepped into, and he was ready upset and it was really funny. I | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
really enjoyed it, and I have never seen anything like it. It is really | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
clever the way they used the shoes in the boxes and I would be happy to | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
see it again. But the tragedy is, the tragedy of it all is... This is | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
just the beginning of how the programme should bring theatre to | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
15,000 children over the next few months. The ambition is for every | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
child in Scotland to see at least one show like this in their nursery | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
or primary school. This may sound like a bit of children's Theatre, | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
but it's true! A King penguin at Edinburgh zoo has | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
been made a Brigadier His first job in his promoted role | :23:35. | :23:49. | |
of Brigadier. He inspected the soldiers of the King of Norway's | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
guard who had taken the time out from the Edinburgh military Tattoo | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
to present the award to him. An Edinburgh Penguin first became the | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
mascot of the guards in 1972, because there was a certain | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
affinity. The colours are the same, as is black-and-white, black and | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
silver, and he is also black and silvery white in his colours, but he | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
looks like our shoulders -- our soldiers, the stands firm and Paul, | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
and some people say he also will looks a little bit funny like when | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
and some people say he also will we march. During the soldiers last | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
visit, the Penguin became a night, this time they are also making him | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
Baron of a Norwegian island that he's not letting it go to his head. | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
He'd not have any stardom, he has let go to his head. When he has the | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
music or the singing of the Kings guard, he knows that is meant for | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
him, or we think he knows that is meant to him and he walked right up | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
to the front of the enclosure. So what is next, Emperor penguin? This | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
is going to be a major challenge for the protocol in the royal Palace in | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
Norway, I'm sure. But he has been promoted, the only Baron in Norway, | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
so before they come in four years' time, they are going to have the | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
work out what the next move up the chain is. After the excitement of | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
today, now Brigadier and Aaron Penguin has been enjoying a relaxing | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
swim, and we are told that later as a special treaty will be tucking | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
into his favourite meal of sprats. It started off a bit miserable for | :25:20. | :25:32. | |
many parts of the country, but it did improve. This was the scene in | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
Berg Gallery this afternoon, some sunshine coming through and | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
certainly lovely sunshine to end the day for most. You can see more | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
clearly on the satellite and radar picture, the cloud will sing away, | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
any showers fading. Probably the best of the weather right now. | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
Tonight, it stays dry the most, some clear condition so chilly in the | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
countryside but watch what happens in the south. The cloud builds and | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
the rain arrives, a hint of what is on the way tomorrow. Overnight | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
temperatures where we have the clear condition is perhaps down to 7 | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
degrees but elsewhere holding in double digits. And tomorrow is a | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
soggy start across the South, heavy rain through Dumfries and Galloway | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
in towards Lanarkshire and the Borders and moving northwards, | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
though turning lighter and more patchy as it does so. For overall, a | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
cloudy day, damp at times. By mid-afternoon, cloudy with continued | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
outbreaks of rain. Temperatures around 17 to 19 Celsius, quite a | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
humid feel at times. The further north you are, less likely to see as | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
much rain as areas further south but still cloudy and damp and fairly | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
extensive hill fog at times as well. For the Northern Isles, reasonably | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
dry, brightness around, but some rain coming way later. In fact, as | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
we head into the evening, a period of Thunder Remainer is likely across | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
the South, pushing through the Borders, towards the capital, in | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
towards Angus and indeed Aberdeenshire. It is brief but packs | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
a punch for stock gone by Wednesday, lingering for a while to Shetland | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
but it goes here to amend the most of the country Wednesday looks set | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
fair, dry, bright and warm, 19 to 20 Celsius. It doesn't last. Thursday | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
is a cloudy day, but not too wet. If you showers around, not as wet as we | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
are likely to see tomorrow but it certainly looks as though after | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
tomorrow's disappointing day, Wednesday will be the best day this | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
week. Now, a reminder of | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
tonight's main news. The first ballot papers had been | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
sent out for in the Labour leader contest. Kezia Dougdale endorsed | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
Jeremy Corbyn's opponent, Owen Smith. | :27:46. | :27:49. |
