Only John Leathem comic is the only individual who knows what went on in | :00:21. | :00:27. | |

A 32-year-old shop owner from Clydebank is facing a life | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
sentence after he admitted murdering teenager Paige Doherty | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
The 15-year-old suffered more than 140 separate | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
She'd stopped off at the deli to buy her breakfast, | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Paige Doherty was one month shy of her 16th birthday. She lived with | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
her family in Clydebank and had a part-time job at a hairdressers. On | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
Saturday, 19th March, she was on her way there when she went into the | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Delicious Denly to buy a roll. Ten minutes later she was dead, stabbed | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
more than 60 times. Friends and family raised the alarm that might | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
win she had not turned up at work. An intense police investigation got | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
win she had not turned up at work. under way with huge support from the | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
local community. Her badly injured body was discovered two days later, | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
yards from the busy great Western Road. A passer-by had seen legs | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
protruding from the undergrowth. Two days after that John Leathem was | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
arrested. CCTV pictures shown in court today told the story of how he | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
had tried to cover up his crime. Minutes after the murder he pulled | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
down the shutters on his business and was seen running in and out of | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
neighbouring shops. He bought antibacterial wipes, bin bags and | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
bleach. Further footage saw him driving away from the premises, the | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
lifeless body of the teenager in the car boot. Then the court heard he | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
had the body in his garden shed and went back to work. The next day he | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
took his wife and baby girl on a family outing to the shores of Loch | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Lomond. On Monday it was business as usual. Today the QC for the defence | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
told the court John Leathem was just an ordinary, normal person. John | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Leathem's account of what had happened was that the pair had gone | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
into the back office to talk about the prospect of him giving her a | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
job. When he did not instantly offer her the job he said Paige threatened | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
to tell people he had touched her. They both stood up, he grabbed a | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
knife, friends and evidence shows the teenager suffered over 140 wins, | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
many defensive. We want to know what happened but perhaps more important | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
for the family of Paige are the questions that haven't been | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
answered. Only John Leathem is the only individual who knows what went | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
on in that shop that morning and while he has told the court his | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
reasons for what happened only he will truly know what happened that | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
morning. Paige's family say they will never get over what happened. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Her grandmother described her as an all-round good goal, kind, selfless | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
person. The judge told John Leathem it had been a savage frenzied attack | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
on a child. She deferred sentence until next month. Sally McNair, | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Reporting Scotland, Glasgow. A child, who was receiving treatment | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
during an outbreak of the E.Coli 0157 bug in south | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Lanarkshire has died. The child was among 20 | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
confirmed cases of infection, which has been linked to a local | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
cheese manufacturer. Our Social Affairs Correspondent | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Reevel Alderson is here now. Reevel, what do we know | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
about the child who's died? We don't know very much, David, we | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
don't know if it was a boy or a goal or where he or she died. The child's | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
family has asked for privacy at this difficult time for obvious reasons | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
so we are not even getting a statement from them. What is more, | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
we don't know whether the child was one of the 11 people in that | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
outbreak of 20 treated at hospital for this E. Coli 0157 bug. Health | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
Protection Scotland which has been investigating the outbreak says all | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
the cases were recorded in the first couple of weeks of July. Since then | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
there have been no new cases, it has now closed its investigation and has | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
begun to draw together all the evidence it has collated into a | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
report which will come out in the next six months or so but it does | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
say that epidemiological investigations identified this type | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
of blue cheese as the most likely outbreak source and that is | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
manufactured in south Lanarkshire. What has the cheese company said? | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
Nothing today. The manager said to us that they would be making no | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
further comment at all. A couple of weeks ago the set of very strong | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
statement on their own website, a very strong rebuttal of all the | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
allegations made against it, they said they could not understand why | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
health protection Scotland had linked its cheese to this outbreak. | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
It said that none of its Jesus, when tested, had proved positive for E. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Coli, and it said, their conclusion was that the outbreak was more | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
likely to have been caused by something with a shorter shelf life | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
than its cheese, all by not food at all, David. Reevel, many thanks. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
The First Minister has offered to help build a "coalition" | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
with like-minded Ministers in the UK Government who want to preserve | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
links with the European Union - especially the single | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
Nicola Sturgeon told BBC Scotland she was ready to work with those | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
who acknowledged that leaving the single market would be | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
The Scottish Secretary David Mundell stressed that the UK | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
government would take the lead in Brexit negotiations. | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
This from our political editor Brian Taylor. | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
I think I should get a job here. Making her mark Nicola Sturgeon | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
visits Alexander Dennis in Falkirk whose buses and coaches sold | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
globally. She sees the European single market is vital to protect | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Scotland's trade links. She would prefer Scotland to stay in the EU | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
but is willing to preserve as much as possible through UK negotiations | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
including full membership of the single market. Can there be a | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
coalition across the UK that gets the UK Government into a more | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
sensible position? I think that is worth a good try. | :07:21. | :07:33. | |
Theresa May, I don't know but she was indeed Remain side, presumably | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
she knows the real risks of removal from the single market. Let's try | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
not getting the UK into the best position because that in my view | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
would be continued ownership of the EU but let's get the UK as a whole | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
into the least worst position, staying in the single market. The | :07:46. | :07:46. | |
Prime Minister faces worldwide staying in the single market. The | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
warnings, Japan says accessing the single market is important for | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Japanese firms in Britain. The UK Government says it is open to ideas | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
from Scotland, within limits. Of course the First Minister, | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
responsible for devolved issues in Scotland has a very, very important | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
role in formulating that position but there is not a veto in relation | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
to that because of course, we have Scotland as two governments in terms | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
of formulating the position and speaking for Scotland as a whole. | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
Mentalist urgencies three elements to this debate. She wants to | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
contribute to UK Brexit talks. She wants separately to protect Scottish | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
interests like university stashed Nicola Sturgeon sees three elements. | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
Then the third option, independence. The cabinet minister with specific | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
responsibility for exiting the European Union has said | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
there will be a FULL assessment of the impact of Brexit | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
on the Scottish economy. David Davis told MPs he would be | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
visiting Scotland soon to discuss in more detail how leaving the EU | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
will work in practice. Our political correspondent, | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
David Porter is at Westminster So, David do we know any more | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
about Brexit will mean? For those MPs wanting chapter and | :09:01. | :09:12. | |
verse on how Brexit will work, the ins and outs, I am reminded tonight | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
of that catchphrase by the late entertainer, Paul Daniels, they like | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
what they could a little but not a lot! I say that because there simply | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
wasn't enough detail from David Davis for them. He said Brexit would | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
lead to the UK leaving the European Union. No surprise there. No one at | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Westminster would have been surprised by that. There was no | :09:35. | :09:47. | |
detail on the timing or the negotiation strategy, that will all | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
come for another day. It was quite interesting that directly addressing | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
the SNP benches, Mr Davies said that no part of the UK would have veto on | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
the Brexit process. He also said he would be going to Scotland soon and | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
that he would be looking at the impact of Brexit on all areas of the | :09:59. | :10:08. | |
UK, including Scotland. In March the Secretary of State for Scotland | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
stated that access to the single market of 500 million people reduces | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
costs the Scottish businesses by removing barriers to the export | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
market currently worth around ?11.6 billion. Can I ask what evaluation | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
he himself has made on the impact of exiting the EU to the Scottish | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
economy? She's right, that's the kind of thing we have to assess and | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
we will, and carefully, because, I beg your pardon, I intend to deliver | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
on our undertaking that we will make sure that this outcome serves all | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
parts of the UK. And if you needed any example of how Brexit is | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
dominating politics at Westminster, while that statement was going on | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
elsewhere in the palaces of Westminster there was a discussion | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
about a second EU referendum. More than 4 million people have signed an | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
online petition saying they would like a second referendum. It gave | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
MPs a chance to give their views but it will not happen, speaking in | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
China at the G20's it Theresa May has said there will be no second EU | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
referendum, Brexit is coming and it will happen -- at the G20's it. | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
Thank you, David Porter at Westminster. | :11:22. | :11:22. | |
While every Scottish local authoirty Scotland voted to remain | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
in the European Union, not every region produced | :11:26. | :11:26. | |
Moray voted only narrowly to stay, producing the closest referendum | :11:27. | :11:36. | |
Jackie O'Brien's been back there to find out if voters | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
Moreover, the land of whiskey, farming and fishing, is now also | :11:40. | :11:50. | |
famed for becoming Scotland's most divided region over Europe. In the | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
EU referendum a little over half of Moret voters voted to remain, with | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
the Leave campaigning losing by only 122 votes. In spite of the mood | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
music at this engine is keep fit class that still no regrets about | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
breaking up with Brussels. I don't feel European. I feel a corrupt | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
self-serving dishonest deceitful lot they are. Yet next door the position | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
and pace is different. We live in a global world, and we need to live as | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
a global citizen and to cut yourself off as a little island is a | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
disaster. Most of this group wanted to Remain but the future is even | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
more unclear for those migrated to Moret for a better way of life. It | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
is a little worrying because we don't know what to do, are we going | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
back home,? Most of those aboard for the local Leave campaign was found | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
in the coastal communities of the area and the demise of the local | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
fishing industry was a key factor in that decision. This fisherman, | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
Douglas Innis, is one of many from his industry who voted to leave, | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
believing the decision will bring some buoyancy back to the sector. We | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
get 20% of the EU fishing quota, if we were in charge of more that it | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
would be a growth industry. What you see now is a ghost town. Before the | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
EU it wasn't, in the EU now it is. It speaks for itself. The people of | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
Moret may remain split but they share the same interest in finding | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
out exactly what Brexit will bring. Jackie O'Brien, Reporting Scotland, | :13:47. | :13:47. | |
Moret. And how will Brexit affect | :13:48. | :13:48. | |
Scotland's tourist industry? EU nationals have been among | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
the most loyal and lucrative visitors, but a recent survey | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
suggested that more than a quarter would be LESS likely to holiday | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
here, because of the vote to leave. The industry is particularly | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
important to the economy of the Highlands from where | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
Craig Anderson reports. Another tourist cruise heads up blog | :14:03. | :14:13. | |
is with visitors from around the globe delighting in the dramatic | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
scenery and desperate to catch a glimpse of the elusive resident of | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
the lock. This summer hotels and other historic attractions have | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
reported a bumper season but while tills ringing so our alarm bells. In | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
the short term it is extremely good as far as the tourism industry is | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
concerned, however, in the long term, we don't know what is going to | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
happen and this is where the big? Regarding tourism generally is | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
concerned, we are entering very, very uncertain times. There are no | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
decisions being made, no indication of decisions being made, future | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
planning has been put on the back burner at the moment in time. There | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
are fears of the attitude of potential EU tourists. Will they now | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
turned their backs on us, as one poll has suggested? It's not | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
unreasonable the people on the continent to feel miffed with the | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
result of the EU vote. Effectively, we said, we don't want to play, so | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
therefore of course a number of people will say, if you don't want | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
to be part of our great economic experiment, then we don't want to | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
come on holiday to your country. Tourists coming to our shores is one | :15:25. | :15:36. | |
side of the coin. Increasingly the staff serving them in the cafes and | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
making beds in hotels are from the EU states and many of those are | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
astonished at the UK's Brexit vote. I was so sad. Everybody was sad in | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
work, our manager, John, was sad, so, I think it is not only about us. | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
I think it's about the Scottish people as well, about leaving the | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
European Union. Experts say foreigners seasonal workers and | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
other backbone of the tourist industry here. There will be two | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
sets of losers, first, the young dynamic people from places like the | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
Czech Republic but also my friends the hotel owners and managers here | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
in the North of Scotland. And it will be difficult for them to | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
replace the staff from other sources. More than ten weeks since | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
replace the staff from other the vote, the tourist trade is still | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
trying to work out what exactly Brexit means for them. Craig | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Anderson, Reporting Scotland, Loch Ness. | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
Our political editor, Brian Taylor is at Holyrood. | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
Brian, Brexit is turning into a long, drawn-out process. Where do we | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
stand tonight? Business generally hates uncertainty and there is | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
frustration about the evident lack of answers so far. One opposition MP | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
shouted, "Is that it?", after David Davis sat down in the Commons having | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
delivered his principal statement on the question. Partly that is | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
rerunning the referendum battle, in Scotland it is revisiting the | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
independence question, but this is a fiendishly complex and complicated | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
issue, untangling 40 years of connections with the European Union. | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
But it does not mean that the eventual outcome will be either | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
intrinsically bad or intrinsically good, but it does mean it is | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
complex. We have had two months of consideration so far and we have got | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
more than two years to go in which to consider the details. Politics, | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
like truth, is rarely pure and never simple. | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
And Scotland 2016 returns this evening after its summer break. | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
Yes, we are back. Tonight it's all about Brexit. Will it be a hard or a | :17:48. | :17:58. | |
soft exit from the EU? Just how much influence can Scotland have over the | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
deal that is eventually hammered out? I will be asking the new | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
minister whose job it will beat you negotiate with the UK Government. | :18:06. | :18:08. | |

suffered stab wounds. An episode of Crimewatch tonight | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
is to profile the case of a West Dunbartonshire teenager | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
who was murdered 20 years ago. Caroline Glachan was 14 | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
when she was brutally attacked. Her body was found on the banks | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
of the River Leven in 1996. Now, two decades on from her death, | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
Police Scotland will make a fresh televised appeal | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
at 9 o'clock on BBC One. An Aberdeen energy group says | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
Scotland's first urban community hydro scheme will be generating | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
electricity later this month. The main part of the device | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
was lowered into place The scheme's backers expect | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
the project to generate funds for the local community, | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
while powering the equivalent The village was established about | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
three and a half years ago. That's The village was established about | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
when myself and the other directors moved in. We picked up on this more | :19:51. | :19:57. | |

out today to see it being installed. behind it from the outset. They are | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
It's a big moment. The bones of a sea creature | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
which lived in Scotland 170 million years ago have been unveiled | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
by scientists in Edinburgh. The skeleton was found in Skye | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
in the 1960s and has been Experts say the conditions are now | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
in place to carry out further tests The Scotland captain, | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
Darren Fletcher, says Robert Snodgrass can | :20:20. | :20:31. | |
help the country qualify The Hull City midfielder missed | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign through injury but scored | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
a hat-trick last night in his first game back and Scotland's first match | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
on the road to Russia. Here's our Senior Football Reporter, | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
Chris McLaughlin. They say that sometimes fortune | :20:49. | :20:57. | |
favours the brave. And after battling back from a dislocated knee | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
and 16 months out, this was part of one man's reward. Goal one of three | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
in a 5-1 win, haps a little lucky! It was very important to me that I | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
was fit and ready to go for this campaign. To get the three points | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
tonight was the main aim but for me on a personal level, to score three | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
goals and help the lads to try to get the three points is terrific. | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
This was the moment in 2014 the midfielder crumpled to the pitch in | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
a match against Queens Park Rangers. It was his debut for new club Hull. | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
Now a distant memory as his second and third last night helped Scotland | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
to a convincing win. If his first was fairly fortuitous, his last was | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
somewhat straightforward. But according to one player turned | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
pundit, his performance was superb. You had to give him ten out of ten | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
in your player ratings? I had to think about it because I would have | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
given him 11! His first chance was not an easy opportunity. He could | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
have had four goals. But I think all round his performance deserved it | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
ten out of ten. You get three goals, for a midfield player. You're | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
playing in those positions, out wide and just off the striker, and | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
generally his play was outstanding. I think he thoroughly deserved it. | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
After game one on the road to Russia, this is how Group F looks. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
Favourites England are just below Scotland after a very late 1-0 win | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
away to Slovakia. So, top of the group and a potential banana skin | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
avoided. Much to celebrate, for some more than others. | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
Now, we're just 48 hours away from the opening ceremony | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
There are 33 Scots in the British team, | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
all making their final preparations before the Games begin. | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Amongst them, in athletics, two women at very different stages | :22:56. | :22:57. | |

Stef Reid had her foot amputated as a 16-year-old after a boating | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
accident. She is keen to add to her Paralympic medal collection. So far | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
a bronze from Beijing and silver in London. There is a huge part of me | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
that just wants to finish off the collection with a gold. But actually | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
my very first level, the bronze, I actually lost it for six months! I | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
had to come to terms with it and I kind of realised that, yes, the | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
medal is awesome, but the real prize is the journey and how you've | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
changed as a person. That is not held in the middle, that is held in | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
me. And fortunately I found the medal! Reid admits it has been a | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
challenge for her and her support team to be ready on set. How keeps | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
someone fit who has an artificial lake and a bad back and can't do any | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
of the things... They've just been so creative. I'm going into these | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
Games very aware of how grateful I am for that team. -- artificial leg. | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
16-year-old Maria Lyle from Dunbar has cerebral palsy. She has medalled | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
at world level and said that athletics has changed her life. | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
Yellow I wasn't very good at a lot of things! So, like, sport gives me | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
a lot to do and with my condition, it helps with my movement and gives | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
you a purpose, which is important in life, I feel. I think any medal | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
would be great, because not every person has got a Paralympic medal, | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
so regardless of the colour, I would be over the moon with a medal. The | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
games begin on Wednesday night and athletics begin on -- begin day one | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
on Thursday. It's another late night tonight | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
for Andy Murray fans, as he continues his quest to win | :25:04. | :25:05. | |
the US Open tennis. He's up against the Bulgarian Grigor | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
Dimitrov for a place in the last eight of the competition | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
at New York's Flushing Meadows. Murray got there by beating | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
the Italian world number 40 Paolo Lorenzi in four | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
sets over the weekend. This evening's match will start some | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
time after midnight. Time now for the weather | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
forecast with Judith. Thank you very much. Very good | :25:26. | :25:35. | |
evening. It has been unseasonably warm the last few days, and it's | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
going to be a warm evening as well. Here is a picture from our weather | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
watchers. Although there is quite a bit of cloud around at the moment, | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
it is continuing to break up with some late sunshine in the south-west | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
in particular and across the north-east. A predominantly dry | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
start to the evening. Patchy rain and drizzle, Misty and murky | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
conditions across southern Scotland, towards the west coast and central | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
lowlands. Still windy across the Northern Isles. Look at these | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
temperatures, incredibly mild and humid for the time of year, 17 or 18 | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
Celsius. In the North, a wee bit lower but still warm feel. | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
Conditions bright in the north and generally and improving day away | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
from southern Scotland and the south-west. We have a flow coming in | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
from the sea, keeping drizzly conditions towards parts of the | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
south-west, mainly over higher ground. The further north you come, | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
drier and brighter towards the West. Temperatures looking good, 19, 20 | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
Celsius. Quite windy here. Temperatures of 18 Celsius. Inland | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
Aberdeenshire and around Inverness, 22 or 23 degrees. Over the borders | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
and East Lothian, they should see some sunshine and those temperatures | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
not looking too bad either. Not very much changes as we head towards | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
tea-time. Cloudy skies for the south-west and injuring tomorrow | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
night we see another weather front introducing cloudy skies and some | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
damp conditions. The weather front moves northwards. Dry air moving | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
through from France, so Wednesday is an improving day. Writers skies | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
feeding in from the south and it will feel warm. -- brighter skies. | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
Now, a reminder of tonight's main news... | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
I'll be back with the headlines at 8,00pm, and the late bulletin just | :27:45. | :27:46. |
